Chapter 33

Part – 32

Coming to t he present….

At the Handa house…

Geet is still staying in her room and not coming out … Ranno is worried…

Geet is not the kind to stay indoors reading and chilling alone, she likes to got out and have fun with people…

Now, after coming from KM, she has not stepped out of her room..

That shows how much she is affected….

Ranno is not going to let her hurt herself for someone not worthy, Ranno knew that Maan is a self obsessed narcissist…

Maan never cared about anyone and he is also very short tempered…

Geet can never be happy with him, no wonder Geet lost her liveliness and charm, and also her smile has vanished….

Geet must have endured a lot of hardships and suffered living with that psychopath…

Luckily Geet has got a chance to get out of this toxic relationship…

Ranno: Geet, open up

Geet: kya baat hai maa?

Ranno: pehle darwaza kholo

Geet opens the door…

Ranno: aaise kaise chalega?

Geet: tumhara matlab?

Ranno: tum abhi bhi unn bhure waqton ko yaad karke kamakaam apne app ko dard kyun dethi ho?

Geet: kaise bhure waqt?

Ranno: uss kameene ne tumme kitna sataya hoga? Thithli ki tarah kushi kushi har jagah goomthi phirthi meri pyari Geet ki pankh katke uss rakshash ne tumhe kaise ek kone mein band kar dhi?

Geet: ho ho ho, ye kya hai? Koi serial ki screenplay lagthi

Ranno: usne meri beti ko pagal hi kardi

Geet: kisne?

Ranno: Maan ne, woh insaan hi nahi hai, mujhe sach sach bathao Geet, Maan ne tumme kaise kaise torture kiya tha humse badla lene ke liye ?

Geet: kya? Torture toh tum karte ho, Maan ne mujhe ek princess ki tarah treat kiya tha, ulta meine hi unko bahut torture Kiya tha, Lekhin ek bar bhi Maan mujhse gussa nahi hue

Ranno: kya?

Geet: tumme ek secret bathaoon, mujhe Maan se koi pyaar vyaar nahi tha shadhi ke pehle, Lekhin ab mujhe pyaar ho gaya, mein unke bina nahi reh sakti

Ranno: aaise kya jadu Kiya usne?

Geet: bathaoon?

Geet tells Ranno how Maan has been so caring and how he treated Geet with full respect, never did he ill treat Geet, if it were someone else, they would have treated Geet badly at least once thinking about their sister’s past…

But Maan was very careful not to hurt Geet for what happened with Annie…

Geet was not in the scene at all when all that happened, she was not even in India…

Maan is not that stupid to punish Geet for her brother’s deeds…

Geet shares her story with Ranno…

Back to KM…

Once Maan forgets to get the things for Riya that Annie asked him to buy in his tight schedule…

Annie wants to remind him the next day so that he won’t forget this time….

Annie tries calling Maan but he doesn’t answer…

Maybe he would answer Geet’s call…..

But Maan is busy in some important meeting…

Annie is a little upset…

Annie: why can’t Bhai pickup the phone? He should at least take your calls Geet

Geet: what’s there to worry? So he didn’t pick up his phone, he must be having something important to do

Geet is right….

Annie: I know, but he promised Riya that he will get the new Barbie doll and Riya is eagerly waiting for that, she was actually a little upset yesterday itself

Geet: why do you depend on Maan for everything? You can order it online na instead?

Annie knows that, but she wants Riya to get them from her mamu…

Mamu is actually filling her Papa’s place now…

Geet: next time you tell me Annie, I’ll order online and get little Riya everything she wants on time , our delivery boy(Maan) is not that efficient

Annie can’t say much….

Geet: where is Riya Annie?

Annie: she is in the room playing

Geet goes to the room…

Geet: hi Riya darling

Riya: Geet

Riya comes towards Geet happily…

Geet: hey sweetie, are you waiting for your new doll?

Riya: Haan

Geet: ok then, why wait? Let’s go get it right now

Geet takes Riya to the mall shopping…

Meanwhile Maan sees the missed call and calls Annie first…

Maan: what’s the matter Annie?

Annie: nothing Bhai, I just wanted to remind you about Riya’s doll

Maan: oh I forgot again, good that you reminded me, I’ll get it without fail today

Annie: no problem Bhai, Riya has gone to get her doll herself

Maan: what? Did you send her with the driver? What’s the hurry Annie?

Annie: nahi bhai, Geet has taken Riya to the mall

Maan to himself… that’s even more dangerous…

Maan abruptly cuts the call and rushes to the mall….

On the way he calls Geet….

Geet and Riya are having ice cream at the mall…

Maan: Geet, where are you?

Geet: at the Mall Maan

Maan: is Riya with you?

Geet: yes, she is

Maan: Geet, make sure Riya stays with you

Geet: Maan, I can take care of Riya

Maan: Geet, stay right there wherever you are, don’t you dare to roam around with Riya at the mall

Maan doesn’t worries unnecessarily…

It’s New year’s time and the mall is overcrowded…

The two musketeers have finished their ice cream and they can’t stay there any longer….

Riya wants to play with Santa…

Geet couldn’t stop Riya…

Geet too wants to say hai to Santa before Maan comes ..

Then they won’t get a chance whatsoever… haina?

So they are out to greet Santa and get their gifts sponsored by the mall….

Geet gets her Santa cap, which every adult gets…

She wears it and is immediately transferred to Christmas mood…

She shakes a leg with Santa…

“Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh”

Maan is here and he sees Geet dancing with Santa while Riya is missing…

Maan gets worried and rushes towards Geet…

Geet doesn’t notice Maan…

Maan catches her hands and pulls her towards him as if he doesn’t like Geet dancing with someone other than himself…

She goes and dashes over him…

Santa and the crowd cheer them to dance…

Geet is ready, she catches hold of Maan and starts dancing with him…

Maan is compelled to join Geet as he doesn’t want to embarrass himself in front of the crowd…

But he is mad at Geet…

Geet understands that seeing his eyes…

Geet thinks that he is upset that they didn’t listen to him…

Geet: Maan, Riya wanted to play with Santa

Maan is not in a mood to listen to her bakwas…

Maan: where is Riya?

Geet: she is here only

Maan: where?

Maan’s hold tightens as his anger crosses all the boundaries….

Geet is hurting…

Geet: Maan, leave me

Geet whispers so that only Maan could hear…

Maan gets even more mad…

He keeps dancing fiercely…

The crowd is enjoying and cheering more ..

Geet is in pain…

Geet: Maàaaaan

Maan won’t stop…

Riya who had gone to the nearby stall to select her gift along with another Santa comes back happily with her gift…

She goes to Geet immediately to show her gift…

Riya: Geet Geet

Maan stops hearing Riya’s voice…

Geet turns to Riya…

Riya gives the gift to Geet…

Geet takes Riya in her hands and kisses her…

Geet: Riya got her present from Santa, yeaah super

They both are enjoying themselves as Maan realizes his mistake….

Maan catches hold of Geet and pulls her towards him…

Geet is angry…

Maan: I’m sorry Geet

Geet is shocked… Maan apologized?

Maan is a real gentleman, he owns his mistake and also apologizes…

Yes, Maan is short tempered, but he gets angry because he loves his niece that much, the only time he loses his temper is when it’s anything about Riya….

That’s understandable… haina?

Geet shakes off his hold and moves away….

Geet: come on Riya, let’s go and get your doll

Geet takes Riya and walks off…

Maan follows them…

Riya waves to Maan…

Geet ignores him completely…

Geet goes and picks very costly toys for Riya and also a life size teddy for herself…

She wanted to have it just for the sake of punishing Maan…

Maan burnt his pocket for not trusting his beloved wife….

That’s just the beginning… the path ahead looks rough and tough for poor MSK…

Annie calls Geet as they have been out for too long…

Geet has taken Maan to watch Minnions, Maan’s punishment is not yet over…

Geet has gone to get popcorn for Riya…

Maan attends the call….

Annie is surprised that Maan is attending the call…

Maan: halo Annie, Riya is with me, you don’t worry, we will come home late, I think after dinner

Maan knows what’s in store… MSK has now understood Geet very well staying with her all this time…

A dhabha dinner for sure followed by ice cream…

Annie: ok Bhai

Annie cuts the call immediately….

Geet gets three big tubs of popcorn…

Maan thinks that it’s their dinner and is happy that he escaped the dhabha outing..

Poor Maan doesn’t know anything about his Geet’s appetite… haina?

Geet gets hungry once she steps inside a dhabha and smells the aroma coming from the tandoor….

Maan is amused by Geet’s antics, she is as childish as Riya or even worse…

Maan has mastered the art of baby sitting, right from taking care of his little sister, Annie, in his childhood and Riya in recent times, so it’s not a problem for him to baby sit another child(Geet), but this one is a ziddi child…

After the movie, they are in the car….

Maan: Riya, did you like the movie?

Riya: hmmm

Maan: let’s go home and play with the new Barbie doll, haina?

Geet: what? No

Riya: yes

Geet: Maan, this is not fair, will you take us home empty stomach?

Maan: Ghar pe khana Geet, you know Riya doesn’t eat dhabha food

Geet: but I’m hungry, I’ll faint before getting home, Riya wants her lassi, haina Riya?

Riya: Haan, lassi

Maan takes them to the dhabha….

Geet missed Desi khana so much…

Geet starts to dig in, Riya is happy with the lassi…

Poor Maan is here just to pay the bills….

Not once did Maan get irritated with Geet’s tantrums..

Maan patiently fulfilled all her demands, he did everything that she ordered him to do, as if he was her servant…

After telling that to Ranno…

Geet: maa, papa listens to you just to avoid conflicts but Maan did everything just for me, how do you expect me to forget Maan?
