Chapter 60

                Part – 60

Maan now understands where the trouble is coming from…

So Geet went to see Mansi in his absence….

Maan doesn’t understand one thing though, Geet keeps complaining that Maan doesn’t trust her, but ulta she has zero trust in him for she never believes in his warnings and keeps doing what is unnecessary and always ends up hurting herself, which Maan can’t tolerate…

Geet: haan, usme kya galat hai? Aap kitne din mujhse chupa sakte?

Maan: are you mad? Why did you go there? I feared for this only, I don’t know what to do with you Geet , you never listen to me, you always do what I ask you not to do, now look what you have done?

Geet: why didn’t you tell me about everything in the beginning itself? I would have never done all this

Maan: what are you talking about Geet? You are saying that you wouldn’t have married me?

Geet: I didn’t know that I’m the reason for all your problems, please go away from me and claim your life, your happiness

Maan: I’m not going without you, you are my wife

Maan shakes her up to get her out of the delusion…

Geet forces herself out of his hands and turns her back to him, she is facing the mirror as Maan keeps looking at her in disbelief….

Geet is not ready to face him.. she tries to avoid looking even at his reflection on the mirror…

Geet: no, I’m not anyone’s wife, this marriage is a cheating, I cheated you, it’s all my fault, this is not a marriage, but a fraud

Maan keeps staring her trying to make eye contact through the mirror….

Maan: you know I love you Geet, then how can this marriage be a fraud? I married you because I love you

Geet: I know it’s all my fault, I only forced you into this, now you are free, I want you to go back to your life and be happy

Maan: what about you? You wanted this marriage so much that you couldn’t even wait until I was ready

Geet: I was selfish then

Maan: that’s what I like about you Geet, you live for yourself no matter what the conditions are, you fight your way to your happiness, that’s the Geet I love, I learnt that there’s nothing wrong to be selfish as long as you know you are right

Geet: but I have learnt that it’s not just about yourself always, others matter too, you can’t be happy at the expense of other’s happiness

Maan: you don’t get to decide other’s happiness when you don’t even know where your happiness is

Geet: my happiness is here, at my home

Maan: so, you won’t come with me?

Geet: I can’t

Geet looks at the mirror as Maan takes a step back every time she keeps refusing…

Geet is hurt to see him in pain.. but this pain is temporary, he will eventually get out of this and find his happiness…. Haina?

Geet is doing this only for his good….

Maan: are you sure you don’t want to come with me Geet?

Geet: haan, how many times should I tell you?

Geet is frustrated to keep lying to him as he too knows the truth very well…

Maan: I can’t believe that you let someone dictate your life like this, but I won’t let you dictate my life, never, I hate you Geet, I hate you, you never loved me, you never trusted me, you could have at least trusted our love, I hate you for this Geet

Geet keeps looking down as she doesn’t have the courage to argue with him further ..

Maan: I can’t help you if you can’t even trust me, this whole shadi is a humbug if there is no trust left, I think it’s better to part ways than to keep hurting each other like this, I was happy until you came into my life and made it worse from bad, now you have turned it into a hell, I’m sorry Geet, but I didn’t expect this from you, I can’t continue like this

Geet wants to stop him and tell him that she has done everything for him only and not for herself….

But she is happy that he is opting to go away on his own… this is what she wants.. it would be tough for him for the time being but it will all end happily with him reunited with his daughter…

If not for Geet, Mansi would have been with him by now .. she is angry with herself for being the reason for all the delay…

Its better late than never, if she didn’t meet Tara, she wouldn’t have known the truth and Maan would have been left in a very bad position where he would have to choose between Geet and Mansi… Geet doesn’t want to put him in that terrible position, she would eventually leave whenever she knew the truth, the sooner the better, haina?

Geet remains silent hiding back her emotions for she doesn’t want Maan to feel even a little guilty for leaving her….

Maan is frustrated by her meaningless silence…

She is happy to leave him believing in that Tara’s words.. then let her be happy… Maan wouldn’t force her….

Maan leaves slamming the door in anger….

There is a long silence after he leaves…

Geet keeps staring at her reflection on the mirror…

She questions herself for what she just did, she is doubtful about her sacrifice, why did she sacrifice her love? Neither is she happy nor Maan is, then what’s the use of all this? Is it worth losing Maan? Will this really bring back his happiness?

Geet starts to panic, she didn’t expect Maan to leave suddenly, she is scared that she has lost him forever…
