Chapter 73

               Part – 73

Geet is obviously scared this time for she can’t plead innocent this time…

Its her decision and she herself is doubtful about her own decision after seeing Maan and his anger…

She now realizes that it was not a decision for her to make in the first place, it was not just about herself, it’s about the both of them… if at all she decides to stick to her decision she ought to get Maan’s consent too, it should be mutual… .

Geet thinks that Maan would not have much of a problem to support her decision for she is doing this not for herself but for Mansi..

Maan wouldn’t say no to anything that is concerned about Mansi’s happiness… haina?

How stupid?

What does she know about Maan? She is yet to know the MSK completely…

Maan pulls over the car at a remote area…

Maan turns and looks at Geet in utter devastation…

Maan: what were you trying to do Geet?

Geet doesn’t know what to say and she is unsure about what Maan might know…

but it’s no use hiding anything for Maan seems to be aware of everything…

Maan: I can’t believe that you could even think like this

Geet: what do you know Maan? How did you come here? How did you know that I’m here?

Maan: I know everything Geet, the Dr told me about your stupid plans, why Geet? Why did you want to do this?

Geet has no answers except her silence and she is not happy to see him hurt… he is hurt and not angry as she expected…. This Maan is far more difficult to handle than the angry Maan….

Maan: How can I trust you anymore Geet?

Maan looks into her eyes in doubt…. Why would her eyes even try to hide something as big as this from him?

Has he become allien to them now? Has he lost touch of his habit of perfectly reading her eyes?

Geet finds it hard to face him…

Geet tries to look away….

Maan: you can fool the Dr with your scare stories, but I know you are not a coward, then what’s the necessity to do this?

Geet is still silent... what would she tell him? For this is not her own decision but she was forced into it…. She is trying to do everything she could to stay with Maan as his Saathi, who would share his responsibilities and make his life more beautiful, she can’t become one more problem in his life….

Maan: look at me Geet, I’m talking to you Geet, now you won’t even listen to me? What’s wrong Geet?

Geet turns and looks into his eyes…. She could see his pain in them….

Maan: Am I not entitled to have a kid with you? I’m your husband Geet, I have promised to fulfill all your wishes as your husband, and that includes kids

Geet needs to answer him, he deserves some answers….

Geet: but you have already given me a daughter, Mansi

Maan: don’t be stupid Geet, that doesn’t mean that you should not have a kid

Maan keeps staring into her eyes…

He could at last understand their message to some extent…. they are confused and in a lot of pain, so this is not her decision, she is once again forced to do another stupid act…. Maan now knows who is behind all this…

There is one and only trouble maker in his life, Tara, and now she has started troubling Geet too…

Maan is so angry with Geet and not Tara, Maan is disappointed that Geet is trusting that Tara again and again but doesn’t have any faith in him at all…

Maan has solved the mystery just by being with her and looking into her eyes….

Maan: Geet, did you contact Tara again?

Geet bows her head and struggles to answer….

Maan: I can’t believe that you don’t trust me even now, how could you do this to me Geet?

Geet knows that she has betrayed his trust by contacting Tara without his knowledge after he had warned her to stay away from Tara….

Geet knows that she has done something wrong…. So she is silent….

Maan: You decided to deny me my right to have a child with you, believing in some third person’s words, I expected a lot better from you Geet, you have terribly disappointed me

Maan is really mad at her for repeating her mistakes again…

Geet: Maan, you don’t understand, I can’t see you suffer like this because of me

Maan: we have already talked about this Geet, it’s nothing about you, it’s between me and my daughter

Geet: dekha, you don’t believe that Mansi is our daughter, you still think that she is only your daughter

Maan: what are you even saying Geet?

Geet: I want to show everyone that Mansi is my daughter, our daughter

Maan: what’s that got to do with whatever you were trying to do? Having another baby won’t change my equation with Mansi, and the same goes for you too, people have more than one kid and that doesn’t meant that they don’t love their elder kids

Geet: you don’t understand Maan, this cruel society doesn’t see things the way we see them

Maan: to hell with the society, I don’t care about anyone, specially that Tara, I don’t know when you will stop trusting her and start trusting your husband

Geet breaks down…

Maan: what happened to you Geet? What happened to the Geet I fell in love with? That Geet, who cared a damn about the society and believed in herself more than anyone, that Geet, who fearlessly stood up for her rights and knew how to get her wishes fulfilled, you have changed a lot Geet, I’m afraid I’m slowly losing my Geet

Geet: yes, I’ve changed a lot Maan, you are not seeing that selfish Geet now, for me your happiness matters more than anything else, I can give up anything for that

Maan: but my happiness is your happiness Geet, how can I be happy if you have to sacrifice your happiness for me?

Geet: Maan, think about Mansi, she should be with her father

Maan: nahi Geet, you are wrong again

Geet: no, I know that I’m not wrong this time, I will bring her home at any cost

Maan: Geet, Mansi should be with her family, with us, and I promise you that she will be with us soon

Geet: I know Maan, and I also know that you are having difficulties in that because of me, I’m trying here to help you overcome that difficulties

Maan: but you are not helping Geet, you are only making things worse, now you have put me in a situation where I’m not able to decide if I should be worried about my daughter or my wife, you put yourself in unwanted trouble all the time

Geet: what should I do? Just be a silent spectator of your struggles? I didn’t marry you for that, I want to be there for you and Mansi at these trying times

Maan: you don’t know anything about us, about that Tara, then you should be staying away from this if you really want to help me, for God’s sake Geet, I can’t afford another loss

Maan looks scared, for the first time Geet is seeing him being afraid of something…. He has always had control of any situation in the past… but she has to understand that there has been situations that were out of his control where Màan had to face defeat at the hands of his own fate….

Geet is shocked and helpless looking at Maan like this….

Geet: I know Maan, and I would never leave you, never ever, I love you Maan

Geet goes and hugs him…

But Maan is not only worried about Geet, but also their little baby that she has no idea about… .

Maan hugs her back…

Maan: I love you Geet, I love you more now

Maan decides to keep the secret of the baby, for he still doesn’t trust Geet .. she is blinded by her love for Maan and Mansi that she is ready to sacrifice having her very own baby….

Maan thinks that it’s better to keep the news from her as long as possible….

Maan would find a solution, even if it’s temporary by then…
