Chapter 101

                        Part - 101

Maan looks seriously into Geet's eyes and continues...

He is fed up with Geet taking him for granted always.....

Maan: meine galthi kar diya toh isska matlab ye nahi ki mein tumme bhi galthi karne doonga, woh kabhi nahi hoga Geet, tum kabhi galat nahi ho sakthi, meri Geet hamesha sahi hi hogi, samjhi tum

Maan warns Geet.....

Geet: meine kya kiya?

Maan: ye shadhi ka drama?

Geet: drama?

Maan gets closer....: aur kya?

Geet: aap shadhi ke barein mein kya jaanthe?

Maan: mein shadhi ke barein mein kuch nahi jaantha, par mein apne Geet ko bahut achche se jaantha hoon, aur woh iss shadhi se kabhi kush nahi reh sakthi

Geet: aap mere barein mein kuch nahi jaanthe, warna aap pehle hi mujhe chodke nahi jaathe

Maan: nahi jaantha tha, par ab mein ne bahut achche se jaan liya, shayad tumse bhi zyada jaan liya

Geet: ye aapki galatfami hai

Maan: Geet, tum mujhe hurt karne ke koshish mein apne aap ko hurt kar rahi ho, mein tumme aaise dard mein nahi dekh saktha, kyunki tummare aasoon se mujhe dukh hotha hai Geet, mere hothe hue mere Geet ko koi bhi hurt nahi kar saktha, tum bhi nahi, samjhi tum?

Maan raises his tone to show that he is really serious this time....

Geet: mein apne zindagi mein bahut kush hoon

Maan: Kaise kushi Geet? kya tum sach mein mere wapas aane se kush nahi hui?

Geet: nahi, mujhe koi farak nahi padtha

Maan catches hold of her and pulls her into a hug....

Maan: kya abhi bhi koi farak nahi padtha?

Geet melts in his arms.... She literally forgets all her worries and rests peacefully on his chest as if she has been waiting for this only.....

Maan tightens his hold to sooth her pain.... Geet hugs him back tight as if to release all the pain......

Maan is happy that Geet is finally breaking her shields and letting her feelings out..... 

Maneet get lost in the hug for a few minutes....

Geet is feeling light and is clinging to Maan like a kid clinging to his mother....

Maan rubs her back and assures her that she is not alone..... MSK is with her and this time he is not going anywhere....

Maan is convinced that Geet is now ready to listen to him finally....

Maan: ek baat bathaoon Geet?

Geet: hmm

She is literally obeying him like a child.....

Maan has got his Geet back.....

Maan: I'll tell you a truth, I know Dev is a very dear friend of yours, but you could never break that friendship line and move ahead, tum aur kitna bhi koshish jo karo, lekin tum usse aage kabhi nahi badh sakthi

Geet knows that Maan has read her very well as always......

Maan: tumme kya lagtha? Ye shadhi karke tum Dev ko kush kar rahi ho? Galat baat hai Geet, iss shadhi se tummare zindagi ke saath saath Dev ke zindagi ko bhi barbaad karogi, aur mein ye kabhi nahi hone doonga, agar tumme mere saath nahi rehna toh teek hai, tum aaise hi apni duniya mein kush raho, mujhe koj itraaz nahi hai, lekhin mein tumme dubara dukhi nahi dekh sakta

Geet is speechless.... 

Maan continues as he brings her up front so that he could see her expressions.... Maan looks into her beautiful eyes.... Geet couldn't help but fall into his trap yet again....

Maan: par hummare baat bahut alag hai Geet, maantha hoon ye koi mamooli prem kahani nahi hai, shayad meine thodi jaldhi kar di, tumme tummare pyaar ka ehsaas hone ka time hi nahi diya meine

Geet listen to him with full attention.... She is happy as if she was waiting to hear this from Maan for years.....

Maan: lagtha hai meri dhoori se tumme tummare pyaar ka ehsaas ho hi gaya

Maan likes the sweet smile that spreads over her beautiful lips....

Maan: lekhin tumne toh shadhi ke pehle hi mere saath milkar saare haddein par kardhi, aur woh bhi kushi kushi bina koi dikkat ke, aur ab bhi tum issiliye gusse mein ho kyunki mein tumse dhoor ho gaya tha, haina Geet?

Geet is slowly coming to terms with the reality.... Maan is not lying....

Geet goes speechless.... ab Maan sare sachayi ko itna confidently ek se baat ek karke Geet ke samne rakh ke jaatha aur Geet usse mana hi nahi kar payi...... Maan has once again succeeded in casting his magic spell on her, haina?

Maan: Geet, tum itne chup kaise ho gayi?

Geet: haan

Maan: tum soch rahi hogi ke hummare mann ki batein issko kaise patha chal jaathe, haina Geet?

Geet looks at him with a little fear that what else has he got to say?

Maan: ye toh mein ussi din tumse keh saktha tha, par uss din toh mein tummare choti si kushi ko utna jaldhi tukrana nahi chahtha tha, par aaj tum kudh mere paas aayi thi, mein aaisa hi mokhe ke liye wait kar raha tha, aakhir Geet ko MSK ke paas aana hi hoga na, aaj nahi toh kal, mein intezaar karne ke liye tayaar hoon Geet

Geet looks astonished.... ye ab kaunsa sachayi ka khulasa karne wala hai.....

Maan: mein uss shadhi ke din ke baat kar raha hoon Geet, uss din toh tumne mujhse sare sachayi bathathi, tummare andar ki sara khwaish ki zikar ki, no matter how deeply you bury your feelings, they surface at the top at your weak moments, you can't hide them for ever, tumne hamaesha MSK ko miss kiya hai

Maan gets closer and takes a deep look into her eyes....

Maan: aur abhi bhi karthi ho

Geet shakes her head trying to deny it.....

Maan: joot mat bolo Geet, ye tummare aakhen mujhse kabhi bhi joot nahi bol sakthe, issi aakhon se toh mein fida ho gaya hoon

Geet bows down to avoid eye contact....

Maan lifts her chin and looks into her eyes.....

Maan: jo tummare aankhen mujhse kehne ki koshish kar rahe the uss baat ko tumne apne zuban se hi keh diya Geet uss din, tumme laga mein nashe mein tha aur tumne apne dil ki batein mujhe bathadi

Geet tries to recall what she might have said but couldn't remember much.... She broke down that day and was in such an emotional mess that she bursted out whatever she had been holding back inside her mind for years.....

Maan: uss din toh mere nashe se zyada tummra nasha tha, tummare pyaar ka nasha, jaise hi tumne bolne ki shuruwaat kiya mera sara nasha uthar hi gaya tha

Geet is shocked to hear that, so he was listening to whatever she said on that day!

Maan: mein bhi aaise hi shock hua tha Geet, tummari bathon ne meri aankhen khol di, aur mein tabhi samajh gaya tha ki tum mujhpe mere se bhi zyada barosa rakhthi thi, aur mein ne hi uss barose ko samajhne mein bahut badi galthi kardiya hai

Maan: I'm really sorry Geet, kash mein bhi tummare pyaar ka shak nahi kartha hotha? uss ke badh meine sare sachyi ka patha lagaya, mein Amristar gaya aur Lucky se sare batein suna

Geet now knows that Maan has given her number to Lucky.... so all this family reunion is initiated by Maan..... Geet understood that Maan brought them to Hoshiarpur so that Geet can meet her mother.... but she didn't know that Maan is behind everything.....

Maan: phir mujhe patha chala ki jab mein haar maanke hummare pyaar ko barbad karne mein lagaya hua tha tab tumne hummare pyaar ke nishani ko bachane ke liya apna jaan tak dene ke liya tayaar ho gayi thi

Geet thinks about those events as Maan narrates.....

Maan: tumme toh hummare pyaar pe kitna barosa tha Geet? aur uss din tumne ek hi sawaal ko bar bar mujhe pooch rahi thi, "aap kyun mujhe chodke gaye?", "meri kya galthi thi seva aapse pyaar karne ki?" yahi sawaal ne mujhe ye baat ko samjhaya ki tum ne mujhe kitna miss kiya hoga?

Maan: tabhi mujhe meri galthi ki ehsaas hua Geet

Maan looks into Geet's eyes.....

Geet tries not to fall prey to his savage eyes again....

Maan: aur patha hai ki meine kya kiya?

Geet's eyes ask him immediately, what he did?

Maan: ussi waqt meinne tumme apne bahoon mein liya

Maan takes Geet into his arms and makes her rest on him....

Maan: aur aaise hi tumme shanth karne ki koshish ki, 

Geet melts in his arms.... that's just what is the best medicine for her wounds.....

Maan: tab jaake tum shanth hui aur aaise hi so gayi thi, mere bahoon ki dharmi mein, tab mujhe samajh mein aaya ye baat ki tum abhi bhi mujhe waise hi miss kar rahi ho

So Geet knows that Maan knows about her weakness, MSK ka pyaar....

Maan: lekhin Geet, ab toh mein wapas aagaya hoon tummare paas

Maan tightens his hold.........

Maan: tum cahthi thi ke mein hamesha tummare paas rahoon, haina?

Geet is in a trance....

Maan bends to reach her ears as he almost kisses her neck.....

He then whispers in her ears in his USP husky tone....

Maan: itna pàas teek hai Geet?, aur kitna paas aana chathi ho Geet?

Geet freezes....

Maan holds her shoulders and takes her to the bed....

He gently makes her sit on the bed while he sits beside her and takes her down along with him...

Geet closes her eyes and is ready to surrender......

Maan gently whispers......

Maan: Geet, tumme lagtha hai ki MSK ek hi galthi ko do do bar kar sakta? Kabhi nahi

Maan moves away from her ever so gently making her yearn more....

Maan: ab toh mein tummare paas aagaya hoon jaise tumne chaha, pehle bar toh meine hummare rishtey ko aage badaya, aur iss bar teri bari hai, tum chaho toh ab iss rishtey ko aage lekhe jaa sakthi ho, warna meine bhi akhele rehna seekh liya hai, the ball is in your court Geet, what are you going to do Geet? I know you can't resist MSK, tum jitna bhi koshish karo iss bar mera hi jeet hoga... Maan winks at her....

Maan ko patha hai ki Maan ke jaat mein hi Geet ke jaat bhi hai....

So saying Maan gets up and leaves the room leaving Geet to think alone...

Maan knows that sometimes acting pricey does the trick.....
