Chapter 104

             Part – 104

After Ranno leaves…

Dadi is amused to see the mother daughter banter…

Geet: Dadima, aap maa ki baat ko seriously mat lena

Dadi laughs: oh I miss this so much, agar aaj meri bahu hothi toh mujhse aaise hi ladthi, kitna maza aatha?

Geet: haan, aap Maan se aaise baat nahi karte ho, unke sare baat ko mante ho, Issiliye woh aaise ho gaye hai, kissi ka bhi nahi sunte hai

Dadi: kya karein? Hum unki Dadi hai, maa nahi hai, humme dar hota ki kahin aaise karne se Maan apne maa ko miss na karein

Geet: sahi hai Dadima, ye dar toh hota hi hai

Geet talks about herself…

Dadi: par Geet bete, app toh Mansi ki maa ho, app ko pura haq hai

Geet: I know Dadima, lekhin itne din mein kahan thi? Maa ka hothe hue bhi Mansi ko maa ka pyaar nahi mila

Dadi: har cheez ka apna waqt hota hai beta, ab Mansi apne maa ke paas aagayi na

Geet: babaji ka sukhar hai ki Mansi humme mil gayi, ab koi usse humse dhoor nahi kar sakta

Dadi: aap aaise kabhi mat sochna Geet, Maan ka hothe hue Mansi ko aapse koi alag nahi kar sakta

Geet: mein bhi yahi umeed karthi hoon Dadima

Dadi: aap ko iss waqt aaise batein nahi sochna chahiye, aap bas aane wale mehmaan ko swagat karne ke barein mein sochiye

Geet: ji Dadima, humne baby ka naam bhi choose kar di, Manav Singh Khurana, kaisa hai?

Dadi: it’s a boy then

Geet: Don’t you like boys?

Dadi: aaisa kuch nahi hai beta, I didn’t know that the Dr told you

Geet: nahi Dadima, Dr didn’t say anything about the gender

Dadi: then, how would you know?

Geet: because I want a boy, even Mansi wants a brother only, we already have Mansi na?

Dadi: then it will be a boy only

Dadi doesn’t want to argue, She just wants Geet to be happy… And she too prays for a baby boy, just for the sake of Geet..

Geet and Mansi get ready to welcome Manav…

Manav needs a cradle…

Geet should ask Dadi about the cradle they might have got for Mansi…

She can’t ask Maan…

Geet: Dadima, woh, hummare ghar mein cradle hoga na?

Dadima: Haan beta, it should be here somewhere

Dadi being on the wheelchair, she doesn’t know about it…

Geet: aap ne kahin dekha hoga?

Dadi: I don’t remember seeing it, you should ask Maan

Geet is quite, she doesn’t respond…

Dadi: Geet, Maan must know, I’ll ask him

Geet: nahi Dadima, don’t worry, we’ll get a new one

Dadi: why beta? It should be here only

Geet: nahi Daima, it would bring back unwanted memories

Dadi: you are right Geet, we’ll get a new one

Maan just comes…

Maan: Dadi, aap ko kya chahiye?

Dadi: humme kya chahiye? Bas ek Icecream Sundae chaiye, to celebrate Manav’s arrival

Maan: toh Geet ne aapko bho bathadhi? Don’t believe her Dadima, it will be a pretty little angel like Mansi

Dadi: I will be happy then too

Maan: so, what’s that you were talking about?

Geet: humme bhi ice cream chahiye Maan, mujhe chocolate Sundae chahiye, Mansi, app ko kya chahiye? Strawberry na?

Mansi: haan

Geet tries to distract Maan…

Maan: woh toh milegaa, par Dadi was talking about something else, what’s it dadi?

Dadi: kuch nahi beta, bas yuhi koi baat kar rahe the

Geet: haan, aap beito, pehle khalo

Maan: you people are hiding something from me? Geet, what’s it?

Maan looks at Geet and asks seriously…

Geet: hare, kuch nahi, we wanted to order a cradle for Manav, we thought it would be a surprise for you

Maan then starts thinking…

Geet is scared that she has unnecessarily told him…

Geet: Maan, aap apna kaam karo, hum online mein order karenge

Maan: ek minute Geet

Maan leaves …..

He comes back with the cradle…

Its beautiful….

Geet: Maan, ye bahut sundar hai

Maan asked the carpenter to specially make it for Mansi then, but it was not used..

This time they will use it…

Maan: how did I forget about it ?

Geet: people forget usually Maan

Maan remembers something and he leaves suddenly….

Geet: Maaan, Maaaan

Geet is worried, but she doesn’t want to ask him anything now…

She lets him go…

Maan goes and looks for the other things he got then…

He brings some toys and dress…

Geet looks at them….

Geet gives the toys to Mansi…

Geet: ye sab Mansi ka hai, jab Manav aayega, dono saath mein khelenge, haina Mansi?

Mansi: haan, Manav kab aayega?

Geet: Bahut jaldh aayega

Geet looks at Maan… he is lost in his thoughts…

Geet: Maaaan Maaaaan

Maan: haan Geet

Geet: kal Dr ke paas jaana hai

Maan: haan Geet, I almost forgot

Geet: aap ko kal koi aur kaam nahi haina?

Maan: nahi Geet

Geet: iss bar Dr batayenge ki Manav exactly kab aayega

Geet is so excited…

Maan: haan Geet

Maan hugs Geet and kisses her forehead…

Mansi keeps staring…

Maan pulls her along and kisses her too….

Geet: Mansi, aap Manav ko aaisa hi hug karke kiss karenge na?

Mansi: haan, woh bhi mujhe kiss karega

Geet: haan
