Chapter 24

                   Part - 24

Annie is silent….

Arjun: so what do you think Annie?

Geet: Annie didi se kya poochna hai? She is going to stay with us in her maika obviously, haina didi?

Dadi is so happy to hear that….

Dadi: very well said Geet bete, every girl wishes to stay at her maika in this time

Payal: I know maaji, but I just wanted Annie to get the best attention and care

Geet: that would be available only in the maika

Payal: Geet is too young to understand what I’m trying to say, but maaji, you do know the reality, she needs to be taken care of like a kid

Dadi keeps mum not able to back Geet….

Maan: you need not worry auntyji, Annie will be fine, she is after all the princess of our house

Payal: but Maan, she needs special care, don’t you believe that I would take care of your sister like my daughter?

Geet: mummy ji, we are all here to serve didi only, you need not worry about your grandchild

Payal: but Geet, you are inexperienced in such matters

Geet: dadima haina? To teach us, and my sister had her son just a few months back, I was with her throughout the entire process, I too have some experience maaji

Avinash: ab toh kissi ko koi problem nahi hona chahiye

Payal: Avinash ji?

Avinash: Geet is right Payal, let Annie stay with her family

Arjun: papa sahi kehthe hai

Maan: aunty ji, we would love to have Annie here with us at a time when she needs us the most, it’s just a request from us to give us that opportunity

Payal: I understand Maan, any girl would feel more comfortable at her maika anyday, I’ve also been there

Geet: thanks maaji, you are too sweet, didi ab toh app kush haina?

Geet goes and hugs Payal…

Payal can’t say no now….

Payal: you know I’m leaving Annie here just for you, I hope you won’t disappoint us

Geet: I totally understand maaji, just like us this is such a big moment for you too

Payal: you maybe much younger but this is what the Khurana pariwaar needed,not only Maan but the whole family is lucky to have you, babaji hamesha tummare saath honge

Payal blesses Geet…

Geet is happy and so is Maan….

Annie also wanted this only …

Maan is happy to see the bonding between Geet and Annie …

Though Geet is younger she doesn’t shy away from the responsibility in the absence of her MIL….

Avinash and Payal leave along with Arjun …

As soon as they leave Annie just runs and hugs Geet….

Annie speaks out now only…

Annie: you just spoke my mind Geet, I feel like home even there but I don’t know why but I so wanted to stay with all of you now, dadi, bhai aur tum bhi, you are the little sister I always missed having around

Geet: I feel the same with you didi, you are just like my sister Pari, I always missed her company after she got married and went to her sasuraal, that’s why I could easily connect with you

Dadi: hum toh kush hai ki ab ye pariwaar adhura nahi lagtha, humme lagtha hai ki ab humme apna pariwaar wapas mil gaya

Maan is happy to see the attachment Geet made with the ladies of the family….

He just hopes that she’ll slowly get closer with him too…

Geet stays back with Annie whe Maan goes back to work…

Dadi is surprised to see Geet’s level of maturity, she was only worried about her age when she first saw Geet as a possible match for Maan…

Now she thinks that she need not worry about that too as Geet easily understands everyone and she'll definitely understand why Maan's marriage got postponed so much and why Dadi got him married at this age…
