Chapter 87

                 Part – 87

Maan gets impatient as time passes… it’s his daughter’s birthday and he should be with her….

Why should he wait till the party begins?

He is not some guest, he is her father…

Geet stays away from him for she knows that he wants to be alone…

Its hard for him to forget Sam and his daughter is also not with hi…. Babaji is so cruel, this is not fair babaji, Sameera ko toh cheen liya hai, ab kam se kam Mansi ko toh Maan ke paas bhejdho, warna mein aapse baat nahi karoongi….

Geet is angry that she couldn’t help Maan….

In the evening Geet is dressed up and all ready for the celebrations….

Maan’s wait is over….

Maan finds Geet ready for the party….

Maan can’t leave her and go… he needs her at the moment the most….

Agar Geet saath nahi aathi toh Maan subha subha wahan jaake Tara se ladtha aur Mansi ki birthday ko karab kartha…

Geet kept watching him like an eagle though she didn’t ask him anything….

That time when Maan went out to take a walk as he was feeling the pressure, Geet quietly followed him…

Maan had to return quickly…

They are at Tara’s house…

The house is decorated and the guests have started arriving….

Maan waits… .

Geet: kya dekh rahe ho? Yahan tak aagaye toh jaathe haina?

Maan is not worried about himself, he is worried about Geet….

How will Geet be received by everyone? Specially Tara..

Maan would never want Geet to meet Tara, but Geet is stubborn, she wants to meet her daughter, how could Maan stop her?

Maan walks in expecting every possibility of fire works…

Geet is following him at a distance…

Let him go first, there is no hurry for her…

Moreover the host shouldn’t be shocked with two unexpected guests at the same time, they can go one by one….

Maan enters and Pawan welcomes him and takes him to Mansi..

Mansi runs towards him…

Maan picks her up immediately…

Maan: happy birthday darling

Mansi hugs him and kisses him.. he kisses her back…

Tara is busy arranging the table for cake cutting…

Tara looks for Mansi and finds her with Maan…

Tara is neither happy nor upset seeing him… she just tries to ignore him…

Tara: Mansi baby, come, let’s cut the cake, Ritu, go bring Mansi

Maan let’s Mansi down…

Mansi goes with Ritusa…

Mansi is excited seeing the cake.. .

Pawan goes in and brings the second cake….

Tara stares him… she thinks it’s Maan who got it….

Tara: Mansi yahi cake jaayegi

Maan is standing at a distance and he has no clue what’s happening….

Nani: koi baat nahi, Ritu ye cake kategi

Tara stares her mother….

Nani gives the knife to Ritu…

All are ready but Maan is still hesitant to go and join his daughter’s celebration…

Geet pushes him ahead…

Geet: jao Maan, Mansi aapko hi dhoondh rahi hai

Maan moves forward reluctantly…

Geet: Mansi, papa ko bhi lekhe jaana beta

Just then Tara notices Geet…

Geet was standing in the crowd like a third person….

Tara gets a little nervous…

She always imagines Geet to be taking her little sister Sameera’s place…

That she could never accept… that’s true, no one can replace her little sister for her, but for Maan, Geet is not a replacement, he loves Geet, she is her present… he needs her… Sameera will always be a part of his life, he has a daughter with her, Geet has also become an inevitable part of his life now… he can’t deny the fact that his life now revolves around Geet and Mansi…

Geet signals Pawan to take Maan front and she steps back to her previous position…

Maan goes along with Pawan…

Tara catches Mansi’s hand and cuts the cake, while Nani helps Ritu cut the other one..

Tara gives the cake to Mansi…

Then Nani brings a piece of the other cake for Mansi..

Pawan takes Mansi forward so that Nani could feed her…

Tara keeps watching them…

Everyone is singing and clapping…

Maan moves away letting them to enjoy…

Geet goes and stays with Maan…

After the cake distribution Geet gathers the children to play games…

She has planned few games for them and announces prizes too…

Geet says that the winner would get a cookie, while the loser will get two cookies…

Its like two kids compete with each other, the one who recites a poem faster is the winner… or the alphabet reciting…

Mansi and Ritu too join them…

Geet says hi to Mansi and introduces herself as Mansi’s friend to everyone…

She backs Mansi in the games and helps her win..

She also makes friendship with Ritu….

Everyone is happy but Tara can’t see Mansi with Geet, she can’t see her own daughter playing happily with Geet, she could only see Mansi playing with Geet…

A little bigger boy competes with Mansi in arm wrestling…

He deliberately loses to get two cookies…

Geet: ye toh cheating hai, come and play with me

Geet easily makes him win…

Thay boy is disappointed…

Geet: tumme toh kush hona chahiye, tum jeet gaye ho

Geet gives him one cookie…

The boy is not happy…

She gives him another cookie..

Geet: beta, aap ka naam kya hai?

Boy: Sumit

Geet: Sumit, hum game prize ke liye nahi khelthe hai, ye fun game hai, par kissi bhi game mein puri koshish karni padegi, khel mein jeet aur har maine nahi lagtha, aap ka attitude maine lagtha, aap ka intention jeetne ka hona chahiye, samjhe aap?

Sumit is busy eating his cookies…

Pawan claps… sahi baat hai….

Ye cookies Geet ne kaas Mansi ke liye banaya hai, par aaise dethi toh shayad Mansi tak nahi pohunch tha, par ab Mansi bhi khe rahi hai, sab ke saath milke….

Geet: kisko cookie pasand hai? Haath upar karo

All the hands are up…

Geet gives another round of cookies to everyone…

The kids go and continue their game ..
