Chapter 51

Part – 50

Coming back to the present….

At the Handa house…

Geet is missing Maan more and more….

She wants at least to hear his voice…

Geet calls Maan… Maan doesn’t answer…

Geet is disappointed….

She keeps calling him again and again until finally Maan picks up the phone…

Maan had kept the phone on silent for he was in a meeting…

Maan is shocked to see 27 missed calls in 15 minutes that too all of them from Geet…

Maan is really worried…

Maan: what’s wrong Geet?

Geet: everything is wrong, why didn’t you answer my calls?

Maan: I was busy

Geet: here I’m serving jail sentence for no fault of mine and you can’t even talk to me Maan: jail sentence?

Geet: I am locked up in my own room for more than three days, if you remember Geet is 24*7 thinking about Maan.. .. and Maan is not even bothered to know how she is …

Maan: so what?

Geet gets angry and cuts the call….

It’s better not to talk to Maan, it’s only worsening things for Geet….

Geet keeps thinking the whole day….

She can’t sleep even at night…

Its midnight and Geet is still awake…

Geet calls Maan…

This time Maan picks up the call on the second ring itself…

Even he was not able to sleep after that call from Geet earlier in the morning…

Geet: you are torturing me

Maan: what?

Geet: I am used to talking with people and this silence is killing me

Maan: what can I do for that?

Geet: it’s all your fault

Maan: what?

Geet: I’m doing all this just for your sister and not for my brother, mind you

Maan: so

Geet: I’m doing this for your sister’s happiness, so it’s your responsibility to keep me happy

Maan: what’s wrong with you Geet? It’s 2am Geet, you need to sleep and let others sleep too

Geet: how dare you leave me here to suffer in isolation while you are sleeping peacefully?

Maan: suffer?

Geet: I’m going crazy, I need to go out, come and take me out somewhere

Maan: abhi?

Geet: nahi kal, aap kudh yahan aake sab ke aashirwad lekhe mujhe ghar wapas lekhe jaana

Maan: kya?

Geet: abhi aao Maan, I’ll wait near the gate

Maan: you stay inside the house until I come there and call you

Geet tries waiting for sometime, then she decides to take a stroll on the streets..

Maan comes just in time…

Maan sees Geet walking in the street in the middle of the night….

Maan stops the car seeing her…

Geet gets in quickly…

Maan: Geet, tum pagal ho kya?

Geet: ji, mein pagal hoon, warna aapse shadhi kaise karthi?

Maan: aaise iss waqt akhele kaun jaatha? Tumme patha bhi hai ki kuch bhi ho sakta

Geet: kuch nahi hoga, waise aap ke sewa aur koi nahi jaantha ki aaise sundar ladhki iss waqt yahan akheli aarahi hai, app toh kuch nahi karnewale hai, phir kaise hoga?

Maan: kya?

Maan turns and stares Geet…

Geet: yahan kya dekh rahe ho? aage signal hai

Maan: I know

Geet: red light dekhke mat rukho, warna aap se tez Suraj nikal jaayega

Maan thinks, how does she know that Maan respects traffic signals no matter what time it is ….

Maan keeps looking at Geet …

Geet: itne din mein MSK ko mein teek se samajh gayi na?

Maan thinks….

Who would have thought that Maan would come to take a girl out for a drive at this time of the night?

Aajkal Maan kya kartha aur kya nahi kartha, ye toh Maan bhi nahi samajh patha, par Geet Maan Singh Khurana ko bahut achche se samajthi hai… ye kaisa Jadu hai?

Maan: ab kya?

Geet: aap ka matlab?

Maan: aadhi raat ko bhootni ki tarah Kahan jaana hai tumme?

Geet: toh mein bhootni hoon?

Maan: insaan toh iss waqt sothe hai Geet

Geet: mein toh band kamre mein soo soo ke takh gayi hoon, mujhe khule hawa mein goomna hai, aaise

Geet opens the window…

The refreshing cold breeze blows in ….

Maan has to admit that there is magic in the air… it has its special effects on even our robot Khurana….

Maan too opens his window without his knowledge…

Geet is enjoying the music of the freezing wind tearing up the silence of the night…

Geet: Maan, thoda tez jao

Maan raises the speed…

Geet: that’s so cool, haina?

Maan keeps raising the speed as Geet enjoys that crazy ride like a kid….

They have no idea about either the distance they have travelled or the time that they have been driving….

Geet: Maan, stop the car

Maan: why Geet?

Maan is enjoying the ride so much that he doesn’t want to stop at all…..

Geet: I’ll tell you

Maan stops the car….

Geet gets down, comes to the other side and opens the door for Maan….

Maan: what’s wrong Geet?

Geet: get down Maan

Maan gets down…

Geet: I’m going to drive now

Maan: ok, but we must return now

Geet: Haan, I know

Geet takes the driver’s seat…

Geet drives as if she is competing in a rally…

Geet drives fast but she knows the limits, it’s not rash driving, its skillfully controlled driving…

Maan likes to drive, he drives his car himself always….

Maan is just enjoying the drive as a rider for a change…

Its not always about romance, it’s about these simple joys enjoyed even better in each other’s company, these times of togetherness keep a couple in love forever…. Haina?

They have come back ..

It’s already 5 am…

That’s the time Maninder does his yoga in the morning, out in the garden…

Geet has to go to the house only by passing him…

Geet tries to sneak in before Maninder notices…

But Maninder has seen her…

Maninder: Geet, iss waqt tum yahan kaise? Idher se Kahan aarahi ho tum?

Geet: aarahi nahi, Jaa rahi hoon

Maninder: Jaa rahi ho?

Geet: mujhe neend nahi aarahi thi, issiliye socha ki mein bhi sab ki tarah walking try karoon

Maninder is shocked…

Maninder: tum aur walking?

Geet: woh kya haina? Maan ke saath walk pe jaane ki aadat ho gayi hai, par Maan Kahan hai? Maan nahi hai , Haan Maan nahi hai

Maninder: Geet, ye tumme kya ho gaya hai?

Geet: papa, Maan nahi aayenge?

Geet pretends to cry and runs inside…
