Part 25:
One night, as Maan had his head resting on her legs and she playing with his hair, she couldn't help but notice how their love story had evolved over time, but sadly, she won't be here anymore to finish it. A tear escaped her eyes and fell on Maan's cheek. He opens his eyes out of curiosity, when he looks up, he sees Geet smiling angelic but her eyes told a different story. They were teary and filled with horror.
"Geet.. Kya baat hai?" Geet answers by shaking her head, "Kuch nahin Maan." Maan slips his hands in hers and pulls her towards him, gazing into her eyes to find the answer to his question. "Pata hai Geet, jab tumhari zubaan jhoot bolti hain na, to tumhari aankhain sach bol daiti hain. Kyun ke inki gehraiyon main aik dafa banda ghus jaye to nikal nahin sakta, daikhta rehta hai aur dekhta rehta hai, aur jawab khud hi saamne aa jate hain."
"Maan..Itni gehri baatain aap kab se kerne lag gaye? Jis Maan Singh Khurana ko main janti hoon, woh to is tarha nahin the." Maan cups his hands around her face. "Kyun ke yeh Maan Singh Khurana, Mrs. Geet Singh Khurana pe lattu ho gaya hai." Geet blushes and buries her face in his chest, ending up sleeping just in this position.
The next day, Maan got an urgent call from the office, calling in for a client misbehaving with the customer, it's very hectic there. Upon Geet's desperate request, Maan leaves half heartily. But nobody knew what fate will offer them.
After an hour or so, upon returning, he sees the house fully empty. No sign of Geet anywhere. Second by second, without seeing Geet, he was getting worried. But still in a case like this he wanted to think positive.
"Maybe bahar walk kerne gayi huwi ho.. Ya phir grocery kerne gayi ho gi.." But deep down, he was feeling uneasy.
"Yeh ladki gayi kahan hai? Aise pehle to bata ke nahin jati. Per phir bhi, yeh Geet Handa."
"Maan.." A whispery voice from far off distance changes his mood. He turns around to see Geet standing before him with a smile on her face.
"Geet. Kahan gayi thi tum?"
Geet walks towards Maan, a bit in pain.
"Maan.. Jaiye yahan se.." Confused Maan, looks at her in awe but manages to chuckle.
"Geet main abhi to aaya hoon."
"Maan please y-yahan se a-abhi jaiye.. Please!" Even more confused Maan, tries to ask her the reason behind it.
"Geet? Kya huwa hai achanak?" When Geet finally reaches him, her body falls on him, giving him a hug, tears were forming in her eyes. Maan is now worried behind her sudden condition. He pats her head, giving her a tight hug.
"Maan j-jaiye j-jaiye yahan s-se..." She weakly pushes Maan away but instead Maan tightens his grip.
"Geet.. Sab theek ho jaaye ga! Main aa gaya hoon!" Unaware what was going on with her, Maan tries to console her. He thanks Allah for keeping her safe. He brings his hands down around her waist but something he touched stops his heart, everything paused. A knife... A knife was stabbed in Geet's back! Maan held her even tighter, holding her head, trying to make her stay awake.
"Geet!!" Maan reached for his phone in his pocket. But by the time Maan could dial the hospital, somebody came behind him and hit his head with a vase. Letting go of Geet, Maan falls flat on his face, along with her. Maan painfully turns around to see the face of the culprit. He looks up to see Brij standing above him.
"Mujhe dara raha tha us din! Mujhe dhamki dai ga! Daikh liya maine Geet ke saath kya kiya! Ab yahi main tere saath keroon ga."
Brij jerks out the knife from Geet's back. She cries in pain, Maan sees this scene and cries for Geet's name.
"Geet!!"
Brij chuckles and grips the knife tightly in his hand, comes over to Maan and stabs him in his stomach. Maan holds in his pain and tries to gather up his strength, and fights to get the knife out of Brij's hand. Maan pulls Brij and he falls on top of him. He struggles for a bit, but still he had strong grip around the knife. Maan gets stab once again in the process in the stomach again. Brij tries to stab Maan again but it backfires and accidentally stabs himself in the stomach. He still had some strength and Maan pushes the knife a bit more in his stomach, causing his death right there. Maan pushes him over. He looks over at Geet and tries to get up but fails. He was bleeding very badly. On the other hand, Geet is struggling too. Maan tries to reach his hand over to hers. She extends her hand forward. They both started to realize that this is the end of their lasting relationship. This is the end of Maan Geet. But still they wanted to spend that very last moment of their life holding hands. Maan grips his hand in hers, holding it tightly. Before the image got blurry for Maan, he looks over at Geet and sees her smiling. That kind of smile that has pain hidden behind it. She wanted to smile for him for one last time, as a sign of gratitude. And then everything went blank before Maan.
-Flashback over-
"Aur when I woke up, main hospital mai tha with temporary memory loss as per the doctors." Maan concluded. Anjali sat across of him with tears in her eyes. She couldn't imagine a brother-like figure being so evil and would go to such an extent of killing his own sister over some money greed.
"Aur Geet? Us ka kya huwa?" Anjali managed to ask through her unstopable hiccups.
"Geet? She was in the hospital too per... Jab main utha, mujhe kuch yaad nahin aa raha tha. After couple of days, staying in the hospital, they discharged. I couldn't recall anything. Geet, the accident, Brij, Nayantra, and the marriage. Everything was blank. But, I felt something weird inside me, like something big is missing. I kept on trying to find my lost memories. When I got home, I saw a picture of Geet in my room aur us waqt mujhe sab kuch yaad aa gaya. It was like a scene straight out of movies. I ran to the hospital, in hope to find Geet. Per tab tak jab main pohncha, Geet nahin thi. Woh...woh..."
Maan didn't have to finish the sentence. Anjali could sense the struggle his heart and brain is going through right now. Maan then told her how life without Geet was meaningless... everything was a mess. He had stopped doing his daily routines like attending office, exercising, and at times would skip meals. He got very weak. The injury in his head made him in to an irritated person who would yell at everyone, would go crazy if anything wrong happens. So the people around him thought best to send him to a Psychologist.. When that didn't work, the psychologist concluded that he was gone mental and needs to be in a mental Aslym. They gave him his own room in the Aslym because of his tantrum that he kept on throwing at the staff and at the patients.
Anjali listened to his story with such attentiveness that she didn't even notice that it was 10 am. She ran out of the aslym to her college dorm. The story was soo heart touching that she could just cuddle down on her bed and cry. If she's being like this then she didn't even want to see Maan's struggles. After all the betrayal in his life, he found one person to bestow his trust and love upon, but again he was fooled and she got snatched away. This reminded her of the story of Romeo and Juliet. A tragic love story. But in this story, the main lead is not physically dead but his heart is, his life is, his mind is. He's like a walking corpse. Why would life play such cruel game with him?
"Ms. Anjali! Do you mind explaining to me where were you all night?" -Busted! As her dean caught her, she tried to make an excuse.
"No excuses this time! Punishment is a must! You must go to this food company and must clean all day and night long!"
That night-
Maan lay on his bed, thinking about the usual things- Geet and his unfortunate past. He blamed himself to an extent where he thought of killing himself. He did tried many times but failed. Not because he was scared, but because of Geet. She wanted him to stay alive. Even when she was going through pain when fighting with cancer, multiple of times she had him promised that he would never harm himself no matter what the situation is. This was the last thing he could do to her. She had left him, left this world and now he's all alone to bare the pain. He deserved it. If only he didn't hated her first, if only he could confess early so they wouldn't have wasted soo many time fighting and arguing. If he knew about her cancer, she could've gotten treated properly without any fear.
Whenever he sees a couple having fun out in the open, he despised them at first but would somehow see Geet and himself in them and smile. All the things they could've done.
Maan looks up at the ceiling.
"Geet... Main zinda hoon sirf tumhare liye. Per jis din is jism main jaan nahin rahi gi tab main tum se miloon ga. Tab hum wahan pe milain gain jahan pe koi bhi nahin ho ga, aur humain kisi cheez ki parwah nahin ho gi. Shaid tab tum mujhe maaf kerdo. Aur hum aik doosre ke saath rahe gain, forever." When done saying that, he shuts his eyes and goes off to sleep while hugging Geet's picture.
