Chapter 9

              Part – 8

Geet gets really angry…

What’s he up to? He keeps saying something but does the opposite…. Iska koi barosa nahi…

Ye toh bar bar kehta rehta hai ki isse shadhi nahi karni hai, phir ye yahan kyun aaya pehle? Kal jaane ka natak karke Geet ko hi usne ullu bana diya…

Ab wapas aake sabse kehta ki mein aapke beti se ek bar miltha hoon, phir Geet se kehta hai ki woh yahan shadi karne nahi aaya hai…. Kahin ye pagal toh nahi ho gaya uski biwi ke maut ke badh?

Geet: toh wapas kyun aaye ho?

Maan: mein bas tummari madat karna chahta tha

Aur ek joot?

Geet: kaisi madat?

Maan: mein chahta hoon ki tum apni zindagi apni marzi se ziyo, jaise tum kal mujhe batha rahi thi

Geet: woh kaise hoga? Ab toh meri zindagi appki marzi ho gayi haina

Maan: nahi, abhi bhi sab tummari marzi se hisab se hi hoga, agar tum chaho toh tum apni degree complete karke koi achche career bana sakte ho, you could make a successful career in traveling too, tum travel vlogger bhi ban sakti, ya phir apne badi badi ego ko bachane ke liye uss Daman ko shadi karke apne zindagi kudh apne haat se barbad bhi kar sakthi ho, jaise tummare maa ne kaha

Geet: mein egoist hoon?

Maan: dekha abhi bhi tumme tu tu mein mein hi karna hai

Geet: toh aap ka kehna hai ki aap mujhse shadi karne ke liye meri qwaish pura karne ka rishwat de rahe ho, haina?

Jaise bhi ho, ye teek nahi haina? It’s like talking advantage of her weakness just like everyone else, ab uss Daman aur Maan mein kya farak hai? Woh piyakat hai, najaane ye peetha bhi hoga ya nahi?

Geet is very angry that Maan too is selfish…

Maan: meine socha ki tummare paas itna toh akhal hoga, par nahi, tummari kopdi toh bilkul kali hai

Geet: warna mein kal aap ke bathon pe yakheen nahi karthi aur aap ke saath wapas nahi aathi, ab tak mein college wapas chale jaathi

Maan: tumme kya lagtha ki tummare ghar wale tumme dhoodhte dhoondhte college nahi aate aur uss Daman se shadi nahi karwate?

Geet: aap kehna kya chahte hai?

Maan: meine darji se baat kar liya hai, meine kaha ye shadi tummari padayi katam hone ke baat hi hogi, aur tab tak tumme koi pareshaan nahi karega

Geet: toh?

Maan: toh kya? Mein tumme tummari zindagi jeene ka haq wapas dena chahta hoon

Geet: mere padayi toh 7 mahina mein katam ho jayega, uske badh kya hoga?

Maan: uske badh kya? Tum apne raste main chaloge aur mein apne

Geet: ye shadi?

Maan: woh sab ko manane ke liye ek joota wada hoga

Geet: aap sach kehte ho?

Maan: haan

Geet is doubtful whether to trust Maan or not, but for the time being this looks like the best solution for her problem…

Maybe she can use this opportunity and first complete her degree as he says… then she will be free to get a job and do whatever she wants….

Maan understands her dilemma…

Maan: tumme abhi bhi barosa nahi hota?

Geet looks at him in confusion…

Maan: phir tummari marzi, mein toh sirf uss bechari maa ke liye tummara madat karna chahta tha, lagta hai ki tum kudh sab ko sambal sakte ho, agar tumme koi bhi problem ho toh mujhe call karna

Maan gives his card to her and leaves without saying anything to anyone….

Everyone is worried, they all start blaming Geet….

Darji: zaroor iss pagal ne hi kuch gadbad kiya hoga

Brij: meine pehle hi kaha ki isski shadi ussi din Daman se hi karwate hai, ab woh Maan bahar jaake hummare barein mein kya kya kahega? Najaane iss pagal ne usko kya bathaya, par yahan toh kissi ko bhi iss pariwar ki izzat ki koi kadar nahi hai

Darji: kal uss Daman ke gharwalon se baat karo, shadi agle hafte hi hogi

Ranno: kya? Ye toh bahut galat hai, hum aaise nahi kar sakte , Ji, aap toh kuch bolo, ye hummari Geet ki zindagi hai

Ranno looks at Maninder for support…. But he is of no use…

Maninder: agar Geet aaise sab ko bagathi rehti toh hum kya kar sakte hai? Ab Darji teek kehte hai, kitne jaldhi Geet ki shadi hogi utni achchi hogi

Ranno goes to Geet’s room to find out what happened from Geet…

Geet has locked herself inside and wouldn’t open…

Ranno knocks....

Geet thinks that she must be asking her to come for lunch…

Geet: maa, mujhe bhook nahi hai

Ranno keeps knocking for sometime and leaves as Geet is stubborn not to talk to anyone as she has got the news of Daman’s invitation by her family, she is frustrated that she is not able to fight against her own family…

Geet is forced to look at the visiting card at last…

Maan Singh Khurana,

So his name is Maan Singh Khurana…

Naam toh achcha hi hai, Shayad woh bhi achcha hi hoga…

Khurana Constructions,

So he is a business man, kaam bhi achcha hi kartha…

If he is such a big business man then he must be trustworthy…

Ranno comes again in the evening….

Geet opens the door this time as she is afraid that the situation is getting out of her hands…

Ranno is so angry with her daughter and her foolishness…

Ranno: Geeeet, Geet, ye tumne kya kiya?

Ranno comes and slaps her in desperation…

Geet is shocked… her mother has never touched her…

Geet thinks that she must really be upset…

Geet: maa, kya hua?

Ranno: ab kya hona hai? Kal Daman aayega aur tum kushi se usse shadi karlo, meine socha tum yahan se dhoor jaake apne zindagi bachaogi, par nahi, tumme bhi meri tarah iss sadi hui zindagi hi pasand hai, ab tumme koi nahi bacha sakta

Geet realizes her mistake….

Geet: nahi maa, abhi bhi koi bacha sakta hai

Ranno: kaun? Tera baap?

Geet: nahi, koi aur

Geet keeps looking at the card…
