                Part – 32

Geet spends the next few days with Dadima…

Dadi is worried that Geet has given up so easily…

Dadi: Geet, kya baat hai? Tu itna udas kyun ho?

Geet: kuch nahi Dadima

Dadi: dadi se bhi baat nahi kar sakti?

Geet: aaise koi baat nahi hai

Dadi: hum iss kamrein mein band hai toh iska matlab ye nahi ki humme patha nahi ki iss kamrein ke bahar kya ho raha hai? Hum bhi Maan ki dadi hai beta, hum sab jaanthe hai

Geet breaks down….

Geet: mujhse kuch nahi ho sakta Dadima

Dadi: nahi bete, aap haar nahi maan sakte itne jaldhi

Geet: Woh nahi chahte hai ki mein yahan rahoon

Dadi: Maan ko kudh hi patha nahi ki woh kya chahte hai,. Yahi unki bahut badi kami hai beta

Geet: nahi dadi, Woh chahte hai ki mein unko chodke chale jaoon

Dadi: aaisa koi baat nahi hai beta, humme pura yakheen hai ki Maan bhi aap ko bahut chahte hai

Geet: mujhe bhi aaise hi laga tha, par woh manthe hi nahi hai

Dadi: hummare paas ek idea hai unke dil ki baat ko jaan ne ke liye

Geet: dadi, aap kya keh rahe hai?

Dadi: yahi hummari aakhri astar hai, brahmastra, isse patha chale jayega ki Maan sach mein aap ko pasand karte hai ya nahi

Geet: aaise kya hai?

Dadi explains her plan to Geet, it’s too filmy…

But dadi is ready to even hire a bollywood director to get back her potha’s happiness…

Next day Geet deliberately goes and picks up a fight with Maan…

Geet: aap ko kya lagtha? Mein iss Dev ke six pack ko dekh kar uske peeche bhaag jaathi?

Maan: tumme kya ho gaya Geet? Tum aaise kyun baat kar rahi ho?

Geet: aap pehle mere sawaal ka jawab do

Maan: I can’t answer your silly questions

Geet: why did you ask Dev to come and workout with you?

Maan: I didn’t

Geet: you knew I’ll be there

Maan: what nonsense?

Geet: do you think I’m in love with your six packs?

Maan doesn’t understand a word…

When did he say anything like that?

Geet becomes serious… she really wants to know what Maan thinks about her…

Geet: you still think that I’m an immature teenager, haina?

Maan: what are you talking about Geet?

Geet: I know, you think I’m not capable of taking care of your life

Maan: I never said that

Geet: but I know, you think I’m yet in my playful years

Maan: that is true

Geet: I knew, you think I won’t be a good life partner for you, you don’t believe in my love, you think it’s just infatuation, yet another crush of mine, haina?

Maan: nahi Geet

Geet: you may be right in a way, it all started as a crush, I liked the way you took care of me, and I am not ashamed to admit that I am physically attracted to you, that’s not a crime, or is it?

Geet looks at his chiseled body…

Maan doesn’t know how to answer that….

He keeps silent… he wants her to let out her frustrations one last time so that she could move on…

Geet: I might have left you just as you wanted, but, then you took me to Shimla and introduced your daughter, if you had no interest in me and wanted to get rid of me from your life, then why did you tell me about all that? If only you had not opened up and showed me a glimpse of your personal life, I might have changed my mind and left, but I started taking you seriously from then only

Maan regrets that… yes, why tell her about Mansi if he had no idea of marrying her…

Geet: I thought that you are still in love with your wife and so you didn’t see me like the way I saw you

Maan is hopeful that at last she is speaking some sense…

Geet: I can understand that, but I know for sure that a part of you has started liking me, I wanted to exploit that part

Maan: that’s a very good imagination Geet

Geet: time will let you know what’s real and what’s not, you can’t escape just like that always

Geet looks at him with full confidence…

Maan tries to ignore her penetrating looks…

Geet keeps looking into his eyes…

Geet: as per my imagination, I’ve seen what I have to, in these ever so truthful eyes of yours

Maan becomes helpless… she happens to know him more than what the eyes can see…

Maan had no clue that she has studied him so well…

Geet: I just don’t know what is stopping you from accepting the truth, there is something that you are trying to hide from me, I know you are only trying to protect me

Maan: stop it Geet, just stop this rubbish

Geet: I told you that it’s only my imagination, then why does it bother you so much? Tell me Maan, don’t you love me?

Maan: no, I don’t

Geet: are you sure?

Maan: very sure

Geet: do you know what’s the end of my imaginary love story?

Maan looks at her puzzled…

Geet: my love triumphs

Geet laughs sarcastically…

Maan: you have gone mad Geet, just stop it

Geet: I know how to make my love live forever, I know how to punish you, you will have to live with my love for the whole life, it is not easy to forget Geet Handa, Mr.Maan Singh Khurana, ha ha, I like to say that, it makes me happy Mr.Maan Singh Khurana

Maan doesn’t know what to do with her…

Geet: good bye Maan, I’ll always love you

Maan: wait, what are you doing Geet?

Maan becomes suspicious..

Geet runs out…

Maan follows her….

Maan: Geet, where are you going?

Geet: I love you Maan, I love Maan Singh Khurana

Geet goes and jumps into the pool…

Maan thinks that it’s some kind of a drama… he turns back to walk away…

There is no sign of Geet…

He doesn’t hear her seeking for help… she must be playing with him, she should know swimming…

Maan can’t let her in the pool just like that and go…

He returns to find her quietly drowning…

Maan jumps into the water and saves her…
