Chapter 31

Part – 30

Continuing with the past….

After two and a half years….

Maan returned with Annie and Riya from Chennai…. …

Now the speculation is that Annie has broken her second marriage too… and so their partnership with the Chennai firm also ended….

Ranno was happy that Annie’s second marriage too didn’t work out…

She was now happy that the problem was not with her son, the problem was always with that Annie only….

Annie finds is difficult in Delhi…

With just the family at KM and no friendly neighborhood Annie spends all her time with Riya only…

Still she is feeling alone at times…

Maan is busy to get back KC in his control…

In Maan’s absence Madan let the office run at it’s own will…

That’s not going to happen when Maan is at KC…

The staff too know that, it takes them a little time with Maan’s strictness to get in tune with their boss’s commands…

Maan has not missed to see the changes in his sister, he knows that she too will need some time like the staff to adjust….

Geet comes back after her work tenure ended…

Geet is really happy to be back, she missed her Dadi very much…

Dadi is her best friend, Dadi is the one whose vibes match with Geet, you know Dadima is still young at heart, and she is so adaptive, you can say that she is in sync with the latest generation…

These two have a lot of secrets to catch up with…

Geet and Dadi are the ones who still think about Annie…

Geet: Dadi, do you also believe that Annie left her second husband too?

Geet doesn’t believe that…

Annie is not like that, but she does not have the courage to face her own problems, she keeps running to her brother crying for every small problem…

And her arrogant brother keeps Annie under his shadows even after her marriage….

That’s why this marriage should also have failed….

Dadi: that’s what I hear from your mother, I have no other contacts, my territory is limited to this house

Geet: have you heard about the baby?

Dadi: yes, it is a girl it seems

Geet: that’s great, she must be beautiful like Annie, but I hope she doesn’t get her mother’s tiny brain

Dadi: what about your marriage Geet?

Geet: do you think I need a wedding after seeing all this? They got Annie married twice and see where she is now

Dadi: but that doesn’t mean you too will have a failed marriage

Geet: I know dadi, I’m not saying no, I haven’t come across someone who is deserving

Dadi: NZ mein kaun milta? Yahan aagayi na, jaldhi koi mil jayega

Geet: I just want to see Annie once

Dadi: why Geet? Your mother will not like it

Geet: I want to know what happened with her second marriage

Dadi: she is not a part of our family anymore, we have no right to interfere in her life now

Geet: but she is my friend, I’m worried about her too like I’m worried about bro

Dadi: hope Vicky is fine wherever he is

Geet: he must be, else Ranno wouldn’t have come out of her depression

Dadi: suna hai Ranno is in contact with him

Geet: that’s the only hope that Vicky is fine

Dadi: don’t you want to see your brother?

Geet: yes, but I can’t, not until papa forgives him and is ready to accept him, first let me go meet Annie.

Dadi: I don’t think it’s a good idea Geet

Geet: don’t worry Dadima, I will come back soon, before that DD(MSK) gets the news

Dadi: be careful Geet, there’s already a lot going on between the two families

Geet: you don’t worry darling, I know what I’m doing

Geet went to KM ….

Pammy was shocked to see Geet…. She ignored her and went inside…

Nakul was there…

Geet: where’s Annie?

Nakul doesn’t know what to do… he keeps doing his work…

Pammy: suniye ji, yahan dekho kaun aaya hai , ye yaha kaise? Ji, iss pagal ko ghar ke andar kaun aane diya?

Madan is confused…

Madan rushes out to see who is it ..

Even he is shocked to see Geet Handa in their house…

Geet: namaste uncle, Annie aayi haina?

Madan: tum tum

Geet: mein ek baar Annie se milke chale jaathi hoon, mein bro ke barein mein koi baat nahi karoongi, I promise

Madan: lekhin tum yahan ?

Geet: mein abhi abhi India aayi hoon, bas ek baar Annie ko dekhti toh phir yahan kabhi nahi aaoongi

Madan: Annie upar hai .

Pammy: aap ko kya ho gaya ji? rokho usse

Geet has already gone up…

She doesn’t want to miss the chance…. DD bhi kahi…. Maan kahin nazar nahi aaya…

Annie is in her room…

Geet knows Annie’s room…

She goes and knocks…

Annie: Nakul bhaiya, juice andar rakh do

Geet: Annie Annieee

Annie couldn’t believe her ears…..

Annie: Geeeeett

Annie comes and opens the door….

Geet hugs Annie and gets emotional….

Geet: how are you Annie?

Annie: pehle bathao ki tum kab aayi?

Geet: kal hi aayi hoon, issiliye Aaj tumme dekhne aagayi

Annie: kal kyun nahi aayi?

Geet: mujhe aaj hi patha chala ki tum Delhi wapas aagayi ho

Annie: haan, 6 mahine pehle hi hum aagaye

Geet: tum akhele aayi ho?

Annie: hare, tumme patha nahi haina? Wait

Annie takes Geet to the bed…

Riya is sleeping…

Geet: I was right, she looks just like you Annie

Annie: tumme pehle hi patha hai Riya ke barein mein?

Geet: haan, lekhin tum Delhi wapas kyun aagayi?

Annie: Bhai ka kaam katam ho gaya toh hum aagaye

Geet: Bhai Bhai Bhai, tum abhi tak nahi sudhri? Issiliye tum aaj bhi akhele ho

Annie: what do you mean? I‘m not alone, I’m with my family

Geet: this might be your family, but what about Riya’s family?

Annie: this is her family too

Geet: where’s her father?

Annie: why are you asking me? You must only be knowing about him

Geet is shocked to hear that…

Geet: ye tum kya keh rahi ho? Mujhe kaise patha hoga

Annie: I’m sorry Geet, I forgot that you just came back, how would you know?

Geet: I don’t understand what you are talking about, Annie, I feel like I’m in an alien land, what’s happening here? Where’s your husband Arjun?

Annie: Arjun?

Now Annie is shocked…

Geet: I know about your second marriage

Annie: what? Which marriage?

Geet: your brother got you married again na?

Annie: and you believed it?

Geet: then, this is, this is

Geet goes to see Riya again ..

Yes, little Riya looks just like her father, Vicky….

Geet gets a real shocker…

Geet just takes Riya and starts kissing her…

Little Riya wakes up and slowly looks at Geet…

Geet: Annie? So, Riya is my neice?

Annie: how could you doubt that?

Geet: Riya, you are so cute, just like your bua

Riya is confused and is about to cry….

Geet puts her back to sleep…

Geet: tum sojao darling, I have a lot to talk with your mother

Geet goes and hugs Annie….

Geet: I’m really sorry Annie, I got mad at you when I heard about the second marriage, then I felt ashamed for being selfish and then I really felt happy for you after knowing about Riya, that’s why I came to see you, I didn’t come to meet my brother’s daughter or wife, I just came to see my friend and her daughter

Annie: I thought you forgot me

Geet: how could I? I don’t know if I should be happy for you or not after knowing that Riya is bro’s daughter

From then on Geet started visiting Annie frequently..

Maan didn’t like it that much…

But Annie was happy again… to be with Geet, to be with Vicky’s sister, to be with Vicky’s family…

Just then Maan realized where his sister’s happiness is…

Whatever it may be, Annie’s happiness is with the Handas only, for daughter is a Handa only, Annie wants Riya to be with her family, with her father….

Annie is against second marriage because she doesn’t want Riya to suffer in anyway for Annie’s happiness….

However hard Maan tried, he could never fill Vicky’s place in Annie and Riya’s life..

It would have been easy for him to substitute Vicky in Annie’s life had Annie decided to move on, but no, she has not….

Now Maan has to respect his sister’s feelings and do something to fulfill her wish…

Just then Maan got the idea of his marriage with Geet to rescue Annie’s marriage, and then he decided execute that idea after he met Geet at Riya’s birthday party…
