Chapter 60

                Part – 58

Geet waits for Maan to return to KC…

But there is no sign of him…

Geet can’t wait there for the whole night…

She leaves thinking that Maan might have gone to KM…

Next day at KC…

Everyone is waiting for Maan…

Maan has not yet come, and there is no official message about his absence…

Usually Maan leaves a message for Adi if he had some other work and won’t be coming to KC…

Geet: Adi sir, try to remember, did you get a message?

Adi tries hard to remember…

Adi: ha ha ha ha ha, nahi Geet

Geet: aaise nahi ho sakta

Adi: if you want you can check my email

Geet checks it twice… no luck…

Adi: I told you, there is no message from Maan sir

Geet: ho sayhai ki MSG aaya ho aur aapne galti se delete kiya ho

Adi: no Geet, no more galtis, I’ve already finished my quota of galtis

Geet: phir Maan kyun nahi aaye?

Adi: maybe he is sick and couldn’t type the MSG

Geet: Adi sir, subh subh bolo na, babaji, Adi sir ki baat ko mat suno, Maan ki raksha karna

Adi: then where is he?

Geet: good question, why don’t you find the answer yourself

Adi: I think I know how to find the answer

Adi tries to escape….

Geet: where are you going?

Adi: I’m going to see Pinky

Geet: Adi sir, yahan mein kitni badi musibat mein hoon, aur aapko aapki romance ki padi?

Adi: Nahi Geet, maybe Maan sir left a message to Pinky

Geet: haaan, Maan aapko chodke Pinky ko MSG karenge? Aap unke personal assistant ho ya Pinky?

Adi: ha ha ha ha ha, good point Geet

Geet thinks for a while…

Geet calls Chandu and confirms that Maan has not come to KM for the past two days..

Everyone thought he must be at the apartment with Geet…

They knew about Maan’s absence only after Adi called asking for Maan…

Geet: mujhe hi kuch karna padega

Geet asks everyone from Adi to Romeo and even Sasha for that matter to try calling Maan..

But his mobile is not reachable….

Geet waits for another day…. There is neither any sign of his return nor any idea of his whereabouts…

Geet goes to KM… maybe Annie would be able to contact him….

Annie is happy to see Geet…

Annie kept calling both of them for the past three days, Geet said that she was struck with office work while Maan has not answered the calls..

Everyone at KM is angry with Maan that he has gone into hiding and is so irresponsible at this time…

Maan has this habit of going into hiding on his own whenever he needs a break…

Annie: finally you are here, but where’s bhai?

Geet kya jawab degi….

Geet: tum unko hi poocho ki woh kyun nahi aaye

Annie: mein bhai se baat nahi karoongi

Geet: kya hua?

Annie: woh phone answer nahi karte, aaise bhi kya kaam hai?

Geet: Annie, ek chota sa problem ho gaya hai

Annie: what? Is everything ok with you two?

Geet: it’s some business problem

Annie: so what? That can wait

Geet: you try calling him now, maybe he was busy

Geet forcefully makes Annie call Maan…

Finally Maan answers….

Maan: halo Annie

Annie: bhai, where are you?

Geet is relieved that he has finally answered…. So he is ok…

Maan: I am out of town

Annie: Bhai, aap kahan chale gaye?

Maan: I’m in Mumbai

Maan has gone to meet one of Maninder’s friends at Mumbai… he has 5% share in KC, Maan is there to seek his help…

Maan wants him to support KC financially so that they can pay back the threatening lenders….

Maan has made a deal to double his shares..

He has to get this done soon to save KC…

Maan asked his father first, but Madan advised him to back off from this dying company and join their business instead…

Maan can’t do that, it would mean that he has failed, Maan would eventually leave KC to Geet, but only after bringing it back to profits ..

Annie: Bhai, aap wahan kya kar rahe ho? Aap ko toh yahan hona chahiye

Maan: what’s the matter Annie?

Annie: what? Ye kaise sawaal hai? Bhai, bhool gaye ho ki dus din mein aapki behan ki shadhi hai, Geet bhi aagayi hai

So Geet is there…. She wants to know where he is…

Maan: I know Annie, I’ll come in a couple of days

Annie: aaise hi kehte raho bhai, shadhi mein toh aayenge na? Warna mein shadhi nahi karoongi

Maan: ye kaise batein kar rahi ho? Tujhe ho kya gaya hai?

Maan thinks that it’s the effect of Geet’s presence that Annie is also acting nuts like her….

Annie: mujhe kuch nahi hua hai bhai, aap ko hi kuch ho gaya, aap kahan jaathe ho aur kya karthe ho, ye toh koi nahi jaantha, aaise kaise chalega? Geet hai toh itna patient hai, agar mein hothi toh bawaal ho jaatha

Maan gets even more angry with Geet, after having done all this, she turns the table and complaints to Annie that she is innocent while Maan has done everything….

Maan: Annie, tum bahut boli ho, tum nahi smajhogi ki log kaise hai, tum apne bhai pe barosa karti haina?

Maan sounds very upset….

Annie: what’s wrong with you bhai? I’m more scared than Geet now

Maan: just chill, your bhai will take care of everything, now stop thinking about me and start thinking about Arvind, that’s good for you

Annie: really bhai, I don’t understand what’s going on

Maan: Annie,I promise, I’ll be there in a couple of days, ab toh kush ho jao, this is not the time to worry, samjhi tum?

Annie: teek hai bhai, I’ll be waiting

Maan: bye Annie

Geet is happy that Maan spoke to Annie at least….

That night… at KM…

Geet has decided to stay back at KM, till the wedding is over…

Dadi ko shak ho gaya ki Maan is staying at KM while Geet is still going back to the apartment….

And all of a sudden Maan has disappeared.. something is not right….

Moreover Pari too keeps questioning Geet about that…

She’ll start sharing her doubts about Maneet’s indifference with everyone creating unnecessary trouble during the wedding….

Geet goes and lies down on the bed…

She starts missing Maan very much…

This is her home, this is her room, this is her heaven, but she has totally messed it up…

Now she is just an unwanted guest waiting to leave after this wedding…

It’s all over now for her, but she has to do something to correct her mistakes…

It’s been two days…

Maan should be returning tonight…

He must come to KM only, he has no idea that his beloved wife is here to welcome him…

Geet keeps waiting for Maan… she is downstairs watching TV…

Maan is back… he is not drunk…

Geet is scared now, uss din toh nashe mein tha, iss liye Geet ko Maan ko samne karne mein koi problem nahi thi…

Par aaj Maan hosh mein hai…

Geet desperately wants to talk to him, but she also knows that Maan is hurt badly to even see her face to face…. But he is the MSK, he won’t do anything wrong to her even by mistake…

Ab sochke kya faida?

Jab Maan pe viswas karna tha tab toh shak kiya tha, aur ab sochthi hai ki Maan kabhi galat nahi ho sakta?

Geet just keeps staring him as he walks past her and vanishes into his room like a ghost….

Literally he is like someone walking dead, he has lost his will to live when he found out that he had failed to win Geet’s trust…

Geet can’t see him like this, and the thought that she is the reason for his condition while he was there for her, whenever she lost interest in living, and he instilled the desire to live in her, by becoming the reason for her smiles…

Geet stays downstairs waiting for Maan to sleep before she goes to the room ..

She peeps in silently..

Maan has actually slept for he was too tired and exhausted both physically and mentally…

But Geet couldn’t sleep that night…
