Chapter 32

Part – 31

Maan has planned this whole thing with perfection…

He cleverly managed to convince everyone and made them believe him completely…

Lets see how he accomplished that by fooling e Part veryone…

When Maan told about his wish to marry Geet Handa, Madan was very hesitant to approach Maninder…

Then Maan took that responsibility too on his shoulders…

Maan: are you sure you don’t have any problems with this wedding?

Madan: not at all, it’s your life, I’m really happy for you, but I am worried about how this will work?

Madan is happy to agree even if Maan wanted to marry an alien, because Madan had long given up his wish to see his son happily settling with his own family …

Maan: you leave the rest to me, I will go meet Mr. Handa at his office tomorrow

Madan: I hope everything happens as per your wish, my blessings are always with you

Maan: don’t worry about it, I know how to deal this

Madan: OK then, I am waiting

Maan knew that Maninder is a thorough businessman like our MSK, so there should be no problem…

Maan: namaste Mr. Handa

Maninder: welcome young man , what a surprise? How is Annie?

Maan: She is good, I thought you will be only concerned about Riya

Maninder: first Annie then Riya, by the way, I know Riya is now the Princess of khurana khandaan

Maan: that she will always be

Maninder: have you started looking for any new proposals for Annie(second marriage)?

Maan: no, she is not yet ready for that

Maninder: it’s the right time Maan, I can talk to Annie if you want, I even know a few boys, after all Annie is also like my daughter, we are not lucky enough to have her in our family

Maninder is very guilty about what happened because of his son…

Maan: she thinks that she is still your daughter-in-law

Maninder: if you have come here to talk about Vicky, then I’m afraid I’ve got nothing to discuss, it’s better not to talk about him

Maninder is ashamed to even talk about his son after all that happened…

Maan: no, I’m here to talk about your daughter miss Geet Handa

Maninder: so you too got the news?

Maninder is looking for a suitable boy for his daughter , he wants his daughter to stay close to him, preferably in Delhi itself

Maan: yes everybody knows that your daughter is ready for marriage

Maninder: do you have any good proposals?

Maan: I have the best as I only believe in the best

Maninder: that I have also noticed

Maan: it’s Maan Singh Khurana

Only MSK could ask for someone’s daughter’s hands for marriage like that…

Mr Handa looks confused as Maan continues….

Maan: I want to marry your daughter

Mr. Handa is speechless…

Maan: I know you are shocked, but you can take your time

Maninder first ignored it, for he could never take any risk when it comes to his daughter, already his son’s life is doomed due to the hasty marriage…

Maninder has learnt a good lesson from Annie’s marriage, that marriage itself is not the solution for every problem like Ranno thought…

They have already ruined poor Annie’s life with that marriage…

Maninder has been very impressed by whatever he got to know about MSK, and what Maninder liked the most about Maan is that he lets his actions speak for himself…

Maninder wanted Vicky to take over the business like Maan has done, how lucky Madan is? If only Maninder had a son like Maan?

Even now Maninder can make Maan his business heir, if only he makes him his son-in-law, like Sharma and Saxena were planning…

But one thing is bothering Maninder since Maan told him about his wish…

Why does Maan want to marry Geet? What’s the reason?

Maan hardly knows Geet, then from where did such a desire arise?

Then why?

Maninder goes and finds Maan….

Maninder: can I ask you something?

Maan: anything

Maninder: why Geet?

Maan looks at Maninder…

Maan: you mean the marriage?

Maninder: yes, why my daughter?

Maan: Annie is happy after Geet came, I want everyone to be happy

Maninder is surprised and happy that Maan is brutally honest….

When Maninder got the news that Annie kept Vicky’s child and is living for that child, then his heart melted, somehow Riya is also a Handa heir, haina? She is his blood…

Maninder wanted to invite Annie and Riya home, but Ranno said that there is no place for Annie when there is no place for Vicky, if Vicky is non existent then his family too is non existent, haina?

Anyone who wishes to have a relationship with them can do but for Ranno it’s only possible if Vicky is accepted back…

But Maninder is not ready to forgive Vicky, he has given Vicky every chance but Vicky has always failed to change his habits, Maninder’s anger has only increased knowing that Vicky has a daughter, it’s very unfortunate that Riya to be the child of an useless and irresponsible father, Let Annie and Riya be happy wherever they are…

Vicky is dead for him …

Maninder accepts the fact that Riya is his granddaughter, and she is very much a part of the Handa family… he is worried about Riya’s future and feels responsible as her dadaji….

Maninder thought that if Maan married anyone else then Riya would loose her mamu’s love too, she already doesn’t have her father’s love and care, there is no hope of getting that, but Maan has been taking care of Riya like his own daughter, Geet too will love her like that….

Its kind of a penance for what they did to Annie…

Maninder comes to talk to Madan, and Madan is surprised, as there has been no contact between them since Annie left the Handa family…

Maninder: how are you Khurana ji?

Madan: I’m really happy

Maninder: you should be, Maan has made you proud

Madan: at least I am a lucky father when it comes to my son

Madan indicates Annie’s misfortunes….

Maninder: I’m not that lucky with my son, I hope at least my daughter is lucky

Madan: Geet would get all the happiness in her life, you need not worry about her

Maninder: how is Annie?

Madan: she is good

Maninder: it’s very tough to find a good boy for our daughters

Madan: are you looking for a boy for Geet?

Madan acts as if he is not aware of Maan’s proposal… he wants to know about Maninder’s plans…

Maninder: yes, but Geet has her own terms and conditions

Madan: why don’t you talk to her?

Maninder: my previous experience has stopped me from forcing things against her wishes

Madan: haaah!!!! You learnt your lessons using my daughter’s life

Madan becomes sarcastic…

Maninder: I’m really sorry for that, not a single day has passed without me regretting it, Annie deserves a better life

Madan doesn’t want to make the issue bigger, he knows that it is not good to start the rivalry at this time…

Madan: Annie is happy now, she has nothing to worry about, for her big brother is there to take care of everything

Maninder: I’m sure she’ll be happy as long as she is at KM, I wanted to talk to you about Maan

Madan: what’s the matter? Aaise kya baat hai?

Maninder: Maan came to my office

Madan: I don’t understand

Maninder: Maan wants to marry Geet

Madan pretends to be shocked…

Madan: what do you think about it?

Maninder: I don’t know

Madan: what do you want me to do? Talk to Maan that it’s wrong

Maninder: why is it wrong?

Madan: you should only tell

Maninder: I’m confused

Madan: take your time, I have no objection, Geet is a very good girl

Maninder: Maan is not a bad boy either, what should I do?

Madan: that’s for you to think and decide

Maninder: maybe I should talk to my family

Madan: that’s a good idea, I’ll be happy if this works out

Madan tells Dadi and Ranno about it ..

Ranno doesn’t even want to hear anything about the Khuranas .. she has not even accepted her own grand-daughter… how would she? That MSK, took his sister back to their home thereby declaring her relationship with the Handa family void… he said that his sister is always a Khurana and she doesn’t need anyone else… then how can Ranno claim ownership of the Khurana heir? That’s how Ranno calls Riya…

Ranno can forgive all that but she can never forgive or forget that her son left the family because of that failed relationship, Annie is incapable of making her relationship with Vicky a success, she doesn’t have that ability to control her man like Ranno…

Maninder has found the trick to run the family smoothly, they have a mutually exclusive relationship, Ranno runs the house while Maninder runs the business…

Gayatri is a smart lady we should say, she is happy to retire early and make her bahu Ranno in-charge of the family for she wants her son’s life to be peaceful…

Moreover Ranno has the ability and intelligence to handle everything when it comes to the family, she is very particular about keeping the family honour high, and always commands respect for the family and herself wherever she goes, she is not the typical wife, hiding behind her husband or depending on him for everything…

She can take care of all the family matters herself, that’s why Maninder is able to concentrate on his business alone, he is free of any family headache, all that is Ranno’s responsibility…

Even Annie was Ranno’s choice for Vicky, the only problem is that Ranno is blinded by her love for Vicky that she fails to see Vicky’s mistakes… most of the mothers are like that only, they ignore their sons faults conveniently, just because it’s their son and so anything is justifiable… haina?

The only time Maninder over ruled Ranno’s judgement is when he happily sent Annie with her brother accepting the fact that she has no future in this family…. He knew that there is no hope of his son’s recovery…

Ranno would never agree for this marriage, it’s nearly impossible…

But, as usual our Dadi, this time, Gayatri ji, is determined that Geet will be happy if she married Maan, the main reason is that there is no saas to trouble, Pammy has no say in Maan’s life…

Geet can be happy for she will have full control of her household, specially Maan…

Geet is very dramatic and a day dreamer, she is too naïve and should always needs to be protected… Maan on the other hand is very responsible at an early age…

Maan takes care of his little sister very well and is so protective about her, Dadi strongly believes that Maan will take double care of his wife….

Ranno is very angry that Handaji even thought about the proposal…

Ranno: what are you thinking? How could you think about marrying Geet to someone like that Khurana? No girl would want to marry such an insane arrogant man

Gayatri: Ranno, tum bhi toh ziddi ho

Ranno: aap kuch nahi jaanthe, woh pagal hai bilkul, ussi din usko jail bhejna tha

Dadi: uski kya galti thi? Agar hummare Geet ke saath aaisa hotha toh hum bhi wahi karthe haina?

Ranno: aap kya kehna chahte hai?

Dadi: Vicky Annie ko chodke chala gaya, issiliye Maan ko gussa aaya, Maan chahtha toh Vicky jail jaatha

Ranno: aap ko kya ho gaya? Aap Vicky ke khilaaf ho gaye?

Dadi: mein kissi ke khilaaf nahi hoon, mein insaaf ke saath hoon, mujhe pura yakheen hai ki Maan kabhi bhi apni biwi ko dokha nahi dega aur usko hamesha kush rakhega

Ranno: ye kabhi nahi ho sakta

Dadi: kyun nahi ho sakta? Geet wahan jaake Khuranas ki Rani ban ke rahegi, wahan Geet aur Maan ke beech mein aane ke liye koi saas nahi hai tere jaise

Ranno: mere wajhe se Vicky ki zindagi barbad hui hai kya?

Dadi: meine aaisa kuch nahi kaha, tum hi tande dimag se sochlo

Ranno begins to think…

Next day Maninder too talks to Ranno…

Maninder: tumne kya socha hai?

Ranno: sochne ki kya baat hai? Ye kaise ho sakta?

Maninder: meine bhi wahi socha tha, lekhin Khurana ji se baat karke mera mann badal gaya

Ranno: woh apne bete ki tareef hi karenge

Maninder: nahi, unko bhi ye sunke jhatka milla, woh kehte hai ki ye Maan ki zindagi ka pehla khwaish hai, aur woh Maan ki iss khwaish ko kissi bhi tarah pura karna chahte hai

Ranno: uss ke liye aap hummari Geet ki zindagi qurbani denge

Maninder: mujhe Maan mein koi kami nahi ddikht

Ranno: kyun ki aap andhe ho ji

Maninder: Maan is a complete tee toddler

Ranno: tee toddlers koi mahaan nahi hothe

Maninder: mahaan nahi insaan hothe hai, woh kabhi kissi bhi haalat mein janwar nahi bante

Ranno: Lekhin mein nahi maan sakthi

Maninder: iss bar mein kissi ka bhi nahi sunne wala

Ranno: kya?

Geet: aaise kaise ho sakta? Aap ko toh meri baat ko sunna hi padega, aakhir ye meri zindagi ka mamla hai

Maninder is surprised to see Geet….

Maninder: tumme kab patha chala? Kaise patha chala?

Ranno: Geet, ye koi tamasha nahi hai, ye bahut serious mamla hai

Geet: wahi toh, meine ek bar haan kardhi toh kardhi, ab mere dil mein sirf Maan hai

Dadi: Geet ne toh apne mann ki baat bathadhi, Ab toh humme hi baat ko aage badana hoga, humme khuranaji se baat karna padega

Ranno: tum log iss pagal ki baat ko seriously lethe ho?

Maninder: maa ne teek kaha hai, Mein Khurana ji ko abhi ye kush kabri detha hoon

Ranno: aap bhi pagal ho gaye ho ji

Maninder: tumne toh hummare bete ki zindagi barbad kardhi, achcha hoga ki tum Geet ki zindagi se dhoor hi raho toh

Ranno is helpless… the whole family is against her….

Maninder Handa accepted the proposal, for his daughter, Geet ….
