               Part – 77

Mehta’s house is decorated and there sure is some function happening….

Maan is not ready to go in at such a time…

They are not even invited…

Maan turns back suddenly….

Geet is standing right behind him…

Geet who is about to take the next step couldn’t move as Maan has turned back…

Geet who didn’t expect it looses her balance and almost falls when Maan catches hold of her….

Maneet eyelock….

Geet forgets herself and goes into her imagination….

Maan just scoops and lifts her…

He carries her in his hands..

Geet keeps looking into Maan’s eyes…….

Geet is happy to go with Maan wherever he takes her to….

Geet quietly watches Maan as he carries her…

Geet is reminded of Dadi’s orders….

Geet: Maan, humne invitation dena hai

Maan: hum aaise nahi jaa sakte hai Geet

Geet: kyun? Kya hua?

Geet looks at herself and also Maan, are they dressed properly, yes, they are…

Then, what’s the problem?

Maan: hum kaun hai invitation denewale?

Geet: aap kya keh rahe ho?

Maan: how are we related to Annie? We are going to invite them as Annie’s ????

Geet: bhai aur bhabhi, haina? Aap ne invitation dekha nahi? It’s clearly printed as Mr. Maan Singh Khurana and Mrs. Geet Maan Singh Khurana

Maan: Lekhin Geet, tum abhi bhi Geet Handa hi ho, mein hummari iss adhura rishte ko pura karna chahta hoon Geet

Geet: kya?

Maan: mein tumme puri tarah se apna banana chahta hoon Geet, mein ab samajh gaya hoon ki rishte sindhoor ya Mangal Sutra se nahi bante, rishte Dil se bante hai, rishte rooh se bante hai, jahan “mein” aur “tum” katam hoke “hum” banta hai, wahan se hi pyaar ka rishta shuru hota hai Geet

Geet: Maaaaan!!!

Maan kisses her… mahiii…

Geet is lost in that moment…

The invitations fall off her hands….

Maan: Geeeeet

Geet comes back to her senses…..

Maan shrugs off and moves back….

Geet bends and collects the invitations…

Maan keeps watching her ….

He then pushes her aside and starts walking towards the car…

Geet stops him by running in front of him …

Geet: rukho

Maan: what?

Geet: humme andar jaana hai

Maan: mein nahi aa sakta

Geet: invitation dene ke liye bhi aapko invite karna padega kya?

Maan: what?

Geet shows his name printed on the invitation…

Geet: our responsibility doesn’t end with this, the real responsibility is to do our duties as Annie’s bhai aur bhabhi

Maan is shocked to hear that… bhabhi? Kaun? Geet?

Maan stares Geet….

Geet: chalo mere saath

Maan automatically follows her…..

Maneet get in…

Mrs. Mehta welcomes them…

Mrs. Mehta: hare Maan, you have come just in time, andar aao, so, this must be your wife

She looks at Geet and smiles..

Geet: namaste aunty

Mohini: aap bhi aao beta

They are taken to the place where the function is happening…

It’s their granddaughter’s namkaran ceremony…

Geet ek minute mein sabse gulgayi….

Geet looks and admires the cute little princess…

If everything went well in their life then they would be having their own princess by now….

The pandit asks the father to write the name of the child on the grain…

He writes…and Geet peeps as she is curious ….

“Anvi”…

Geet just whispers to herself, “Avni”

Then the parents and dada, dadi, Nana, Nani call the beautiful name in the baby’s ear….

Geet is so excited…. She keeps repeating with them…

“Avni”

Mohini: aap ko naam pasand hai beta?

Geet: Haan, Avni, bahut pyara naam hai, jaise apni nanni pari

Mohini: Sana, give the baby to Geet

Geet takes the baby and holds her in her arms ..

She keeps looking at her, she is reminded of the imaginary baby she had and how much she loved it. ..

What if she had a baby with Maan actually, she would give her life for that baby…

Maan ne toh uss baby ko kitna pyar diya aur usko kaise apnaake apna naam bhi diya…

Geet becomes sad thinking about what she has done to their lives and her eyes moisten…

Maan notices the change in Geet’s face and he knows that Geet has not changed a bit, she has not given up her habit of revisiting the past and regretting….

Maan moves closer tobher and holds her from the side…

Maan: Geet, kya kar Rahi ho? Baby ko naam lekhe pukaro, sab tumme hi dekh rahe hai

Geet looks at Maan in astonishment…

How could he forget about his worries and think about Geet?

Whatever it might be, Maan can’t see her becoming emotional and weak in front of anyone else…. In fact he hates to see her like this anytime….

Geet now is looking at Maan in admiration….

She forgets where they are and continues watching her man….

Maan bends and whispers in the baby’s ear…

“Anvi, Anvi, Anvi”…

Then Maan shakes Geet up…

Maan: Geet, ab tum karo

Geet too calls out the baby’s name thrice ..

Mohini: agle saal aap bhi apne bache ki namkaran karwana aur humein bhi bhulana, Savithri is just waiting for that day when she would get to hold her Geet’s baby

Yes, Dadi always says that she wants to see Geet’s child and she doesn’t say Maan’s child…

Dadi knows very well that if not Geet, Maan would never have a life with anyone else…..

So if she wants a grandchild from Maan then it would only be possible with Geet… haina?

Maneet take leave from there…

Geet goes silent…. She is very sad….

Maan wants to break her silence….

Maan: where are we going next?

Geet just gives the list to Maan…

Maan: you only know where the next party is, dadi must have told you, if I go by the list you would call Dadi again, I don’t want to trouble you, so, the me Geet, where are we going next?

Geet: aaisa kuch nahi hai, we can go wherever you want to go next

Maan: are you sure?

Geet: hmm

Maan takes her to a popular restaurant at a star hotel instead….

Geet is surprised…. Why have we come here? Is there really another party there?

Ye, Dadi ne kya kya plan karke rakha hai apne liye?
