Chapter 82

               Part – 82

Geet looks at Dadi worried…

Geet: Dadi, ye aap kya keh rahe ho? Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aata

Dadi: Maan thinks that he didn’t take good care of Sameera

Geet: but that was beyond anyone’s control, that was not his fault, it just happened

Dadi: but Maan can’t stop blaming himself , that’s why he is behaving like a stubborn child

Geet: now I understand

Dadi: give him some time, he will come by

Geet starts thinking….

Later that evening… dadi talks to Maan…

Dadi: Maan, what’s all this?

Maan: what are you talking about Dadima?

Dadi: why aren’t you talking with Geet?

Maan: you don’t know about Geet Dadima, she keeps putting herself in danger again and again

Dadi: no one would do that Maan, it’s all your imagination

Maan: you are wrong, Dadima

Dadi: it’s all my fault this time Maan

Maan: nahi dadi, I know Geet better

Dadi: nahi bete, hum hi Geet ko wahan lekhe gaye, Geet never knew such a place, she is new to Delhi you know

Maan now understands that it was not Geet’s fault completely… dadi was also to blame….

Maan: I understand dadi

Dadi: so go talk to her, she needs you 24*7, she is pregnant Maan

Maan: but she has to learn her lessons, I won’t be around all the time, she has to take care of herself

Dadi: she is still playful, she will slowly understand it

Maan: I’m just trying to make her understand

Dadi: she already misses you Maan, come on bete, she is here for you only

Maan: teek hai dadi, I give up

Dadi: that’s good , Geet OH mein hai bete

Maan goes to the OH…

Geet is busy putting the unwanted things in the store room to make room for the baby things…

Its too early for that… they have a lot of time…

Maan just enters the store room…

Geet: Maan, aap aagaye? Chalo, aap ka kuch useless things hai kya?

Maan is confused…

Maan: ye ho kya raha hai?

Nakul blinks…

Maan stares him…

Geet: aap jao bhaiya, aap ka kaam ho gaya

Maan: tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?

Geet: aap ka maunvrat toot gaya? Mein jeet gayi

Geet is happy….

Maan: Geet, can you tell me what you are doing?

Geet: I’m trying to clear the past and make room for the present

Maan: what?

Geet: Maan, hummare room mein aap ka itna things hai ki mein apna aada things OH mein rakthi, ab Mansi bhi aayegi aur baby bhi, unka things kahan rakhenge?

Maan: what’s to hurry Geet?

Geet: achche kaam ki dheri nahi hona chahiye

Maan takes a look around…

Maan is shocked to see the things that Geet has discarded…

Its Sameera’s photos and her things…

How dare she?

Maan gets angry….

Maan: Geet, jaanthe ho ki ye sab kya hai?

Geet: jaanthi hoon

Geet is very clear…

Maan: how could you do this? You have no rights to touch these things

Maan goes and takes the photo…

Geet: give me that, it doesn’t belong to you either

Maan stares her…

Maan: don’t play with this Geet, you don’t know the value of all this

Geet: I know, this is where it belongs

Maan: yoooouuuuu

Geet: chilaoo mat, yahi sach hai

Maan: what do you know about the truth?

Geet: I know that you need to get rid of this

Maan: Geeeeeet

Geet: chilaane se sach nahi badalta

Maan: are you crazy?

Geet: no, you are

Maan can’t hurt her for she is pregnant…

Maan tries to leave the place…

Geet: sach se kyun bhaagte ho?

Maan: Geet, I don’t want to argue with someone who is ignorant of the values of these things

Geet: you are ignoring the truth

Maan gets really mad…

Maan: what truth?

Geet: that this mishap is not on you, you didn’t kill anyone

Maan can’t take it anymore…

Maan: stop it Geet, enough of your nonsense

Geet: I thought that you kept all this out of love, but you are clinging to all this due to guilt

Maan: don’t talk rubbish

Geet: Maan, now you are not alone, Mansi and baby are your responsibility, you have to take care of yourself, and this is not right

Maan: you don’t understand

Geet: no, you don’t understand, suppose something happened to Anika that day, would that be my fault? If only I didn’t accompany her she would have cancelled the tour, haina?

Maan: that’s different

Geet: no Maan, something’s are out of our control, you have to accept that

Maan is speechless… he can’t win her in arguments….

Geet continues…

Geet: I can’t let you live with this guilt

Maan: whatever it may be, it’s none of your business

Geet: it’s definitely my business, if you don’t get out of this you won’t let me live in peace, aaisa hi har din muh banake beitoge toh mein kaise kush reh sakti Maan ?

She has got a point…

Maan keeps the photo back in the store room…

Geet goes and hugs him tight…

Geet: iss se kaam nahi hoga, you have to get rid of the guilt from your mind, promise me to forget everything this moment itself

Maan: haan, I won’t do anything that troubles you Geet

Geet: thanks Maan, I love you Maan

Maan hugs her back…

Maan: I love you Geet

Maan decides to let go of the past completely and live for his daughter and Geet…

But Geet wants him to live for himself, for his happiness, for his wellness, for his desires, for his dreams…..

Maan has taken the first step, with Geet around to support him, he will start living for himself….
