Chapter 34

Part – 33

At the Handa house…

Ranno patiently heard what her daughter said…

She knows Geet is so innocent and dramebaaz and how she has been badly influenced by that fraudulent Maan…

Ranno has to do something to clear Geet’s mind off the thoughts of that cheat…

Maninder comes looking for Ranno and Geet…

Dadi told him that the duo are talking some secrets…

Maninder: Ranno, tum Geet ko akhele chod do, woh pehle hi bahut pareshan hai

Ranno: ye pareshan hai? Nahi ji, ye toh humme pareshan kar rahi hai

Geet: Papa, mein pareshan nahi hoon, mein toh bahut kush hoon iss shadhi se

Actually Geet is happy to have found Maan, haina?

Maninder: Geeeet? Tumme kya ho gaya?

Ranno: ye kuch bhi kheti hai, aap uske baat ko sunke kamakaan pareshan mat ho ji

Maninder: Geet, usne tumme dokha diya hai, aur tumme aaise aadmi ke saath kush kaise reh sakti?

Geet: Maan ne kabhi aapse kaha ki woh mujhe chod denge kya? Nahi na, toh aap Maan ko dokhebaaz kaise keh sakte ho?

Maninder: Geet, woh ek number ka joote insaan hai aur ye shadhi bhi jooti hai, tum isko bhool jao

Geet: joota ho ya nahi, mujhe koi farak nahi hai, kyunki ye shadhi jooti ho sakti Lekhin Maan ke saath guzare ye lamhe joot nahi hai, mere liye kuch bhi joota nahi hai, yahi meri sachaayi hai

Ranno: aap isse baat karoge toh ye humme bhi pagal bana degi, aap jao ji

Maninder leaves…

Geet: tum bhi jao, mujhe koi nahi chahiye, mujhe mere Maan hi kaafi hai

Ranno too leaves….

Maninder: ye sab kya hai Ranno ?

Ranno: meine pehle hi kaha ki iss pagal ki baat ko mat mano, Lekhin aap logon ne meri ek bhi nahi suni, ab bhi waqt hai ji, ab toh uss ki baat pe viswas mat karo, Geet dho char din mein sach ko samajh jayegi aur teek ho jayegi

Maninder: woh toh teek hai, lekhin mein uss Maan ko chodoonga nahi, agar usse hum se problem hai toh humse ladhna chahiye, bechari Geet ne uska kya bigada, yahi usne mere saath business mein ladhke mujhe dokha diya hotha toh mein usko maaf kar sakta hoon, Lekhin ab usko kabhi maaf nahi kar sakta

Ranno: ye aap ka kaam hai, mein apni beti ki zindagi ko bachana chahti hoon

Maninder: kaise?

Ranno: meine aap se pehle hi kaha tha meri saheli ka beta hai, Mayank , woh Canada se aaya hai

Maninder: toh?

Ranno: this wedding is a betrayal, so it’s not valid, we can talk to my friend

Maninder: tum hamesha ek galti ko dusre galti se sudharna chahti ho, ye teek nahi hai, mein Vicky ki tarah Geet ki zindagi bhi barbad nahi kar sakta

Ranno: toh jao uss Maan ke paas aur uss ke haath pher pakadke gidgidao ki aap ki beti ko wapas lene ko, aap ko kya patha ki woh dubara Geet ko blackmail nahi karega?

Maninder: mein pagal hoon kya ki mein apni beti ko uss ke paas wapas bhejne ki?

Ranno: toh ?

Maninder: I’ve just talked to our lawyer, I won’t stop until I put that criminal behind the bars, you just try to make Geet understand the reality, don’t try to scare her with your stupid wedding plans

Ranno: you do not spare that Maan, how dare he played with our Geet’s life?

Maninder: you don’t worry about that, I will take care of that

Ranno: I so much wanted to see him in the jail, this time he can’t escape

Maninder: I’ll sue him and make him pay for his deeds

Ranno: he must get what he deserves soon

Meanwhile in Geet’s room…

Geet couldn’t stop thinking about Maan…

Geet continues to think about the past….

Another weekend….

Geet wants to go home…

Geet: mujhe ghar jaana hai

Maan doesn’t reply…

Maan has heard her .. let her go.. why tell me?

Geet: sunayi nahi diya kya? I want go home this weekend

Maan: toh jao

Geet: kya? Jao nahi, “ jaathe hai” kaho

Maan: what?

Geet: I can’t go home without you

Maan: that’s ridiculous

Geet: but that’s the way it is, girls become the guests at their own place after marriage and are welcomed only with their husbands

Is she hinting something, about Annie? How dare she?

But Maan doesn’t want to make it an issue…

Maan: we’ll go

Maan leaves before Geet could say anything else…

At the Handa house…

Dadi is happy seeing Geet come with Maan… so are the others…

Dadi: Geet, now you are behaving like a married woman

Geet: dadi, mein aapki pothi hoon

Dadi: well done Geet

Ranno: Geet, tum kush toh haina?

Geet: ye kaise sawaal hai? Hum bahut kush hai, apne dekha nahi? Hum toh sirf aap ke liye yahan aaye hai, warna hum wahi bahut kush hai

Ranno: kya?

Geet: tumse baat karke dher ho gayi hai, Maan intezar karthe honge, mein jaathi hoon

Ranno is shocked…. Pehle hi Geet aur Ranno ki zyada nahi banti, aur shadi ke baat toh poocho hi mat….

Next morning…

Maan leaves after breakfast…

Dadi: toh Geet, you look so happy

Geet: yes, dadi

Dadi: so, what’s the plans?

Geet: what?

Dadi: hare buddu? Aaj ka kya plans hai? Where are you going with Maan today? Movie or dinner? Or both?

Geet: what dadi? Abhi abhi shadhi Hui na?

Dadi: you are so stupid Geet, this is the time, abhi nahi toh kabhi nahi

Dadi winks….

Geet: Dadi, aaisa kuch nahi hai

Dadi: aaisa hi hai, abhi usko call Karo

Geet calls Maan…

Geet: Maan

Geet: shamko jaldhi aana

Maan: I know

Geet: dinner pe jaana hai

Maan: what?

Geet: dadi kehte hai ki aaj aapke saath dinner pe jaoon

Maan: hmm

Geet: kitne baje aayenge?

Maan: 7

Maan comes to take Geet for dinner….

Geet is yet to get ready…

She didn’t know that he would be here at 6.50 itself…

Geet is confused about what to wear….

Maan is here ….

Geet: Maan

Maan is busy with his laptop…

Maan: hmm

Geet: mein kya pehnoon?

Maan: whatever you want

Geet: look here Maan

Maan looks at Geet…

Geet: which one?

Geet is showing two suits…

Maan had never chosen a dress for anyone else other than himself….

What would he do?

He just imagines Geet in both and decides the white one as she looked beautiful in that for him….

This is a new kind of experience for Maan…

Geet quickly changes…

Geet: chalein

Maan looks at her… she looks more beautiful than he had imagined her in that dress…

She is beautiful in any attire…

On the way….

Geet: hum Kahan jaa rahe hai? Do you have any choice?

Maan: dadi ne ye bhi bathaya hoga ki Kahan pe jaana hai

Geet: bathaya na, they have opened a new roof top it seems

Maan remembers his Dadi… dadi ho toh aaise hi unko support karthe, haina?

Geet: what happened?

Maan: ok

Maan takes her to that place itself….

The waiter looks at them and understands that they are newly wed…

He offers them a private candle lit dinning space… it’s their couple’s package…

Its decorated with flowers and candles… perfect romantic night with the moon shinning and the cool breeze around..

Geet: so it’s our first dinner date, haina?

Maan is not interested in unofficial dinners, he is happy with his fitness diet…

Maan: hmm

The waiter gives them time…

Geet: this is so beautiful

Geet is looking at the moon and the beautiful sky…

Maan automatically looks up…

It’s really good… Maan loves nature…

Maan: hmm

Geet: I’m so hungry

Geet calls the waiter….

Geet straight away orders for both of them…

Maan quietly keeps watching Geet as she enjoys her tandoori chicken…

Maan is surprised to see Geet so quiet, Geet doesn’t do two tasks(eating and talking) that she loves at the same time, then she can’t enjoy them both…. Haina?

Geet: what do you like for dessert?

Maan: I’m done

Geet looks at the menu and orders a milkshake…

She sips it slowly enjoying the starry night sky…

Maan can’t wait all night there….

Maan: waiter, bill

Maan urges the waiter so that Geet would understand….

But Geet is in her own world, enjoying her milkshake like anything….

Maan has no choice but to wait for her to finish…

Maan wants to drop her and go to KM….

Maan: it’s getting late

Geet: what’s the hurry?

Maan: I have to go home after dropping you off

Geet: what?

Maan: I’ve an early meeting tomorrow morning

Geet: it’s ok, I’ll come with you

Geet doesn’t want to go home without Maan, she wants to stay with him as much as possible….

Maan: but Geet

Geet: we are going home, chalo, dher ho rahi haina, pure raat yahan beitke aaise hi but but karte rahoge kya?

Maan: what? Ye toh mera dialogue hai

They go to KM…

Ranno calls…

Geet is half asleep…

Geet: halo

Ranno: Geet, aur kitne dher hoga ?

Geet: kya?

Ranno: hare, ghar kab aaoge?

Geet: mein ghar aagayi maa

Ranno: kab? Mujhe patha nahi

Geet: hare, wahan nahi yahan

Ranno: kahan?

Geet: Maan ko Ghar aana tha, issiliye hum ghar aagaye

Ranno: toh mujhe kyun nahi bathaya?

Geet: apne ghar jaane ke liye tummare permission lena hai kya? Good night

Geet goes back to sleep…

Ranno thinks, ye ladhki kaise badal gayi?

That’s true… Ranno too knows that Geet was really happy with Maan after the wedding…
