Chapter 61

Part – 60

At the Handa house…

Geet doesn’t even have the time to dream about her dinner date with Maan… .

Geet is alarmed that Vicky is not in touch with Lucky and hasn’t spoken to Ranno too…

What’s wrong with him? Why aren’t they letting Vicky speak with Ranno?

Nothing is feeling right, there must be something that they are hiding from Ranno…

Geet prays to babaji that Vicky is in good health and he should come home to Annie and Riya without any troubles…

Ranno is restless from the morning…

Geet: Maan, what’s the matter? Is it about bro? Poor Annie is hoping to see him soon, if only bro knows about Riya then he will come home on his own

Ranno: don’t talk about Annie, it’s all because of her that Vicky is not talking to me

Geet: what do you mean?

Ranno: yes, the last time I talked to him I told him that you have come back, he was really happy to hear about you, then he told me that he wanted to talk to you, I asked him to call after an hour so that I could go home and connect you with him, I never talked to him at home

I reached home and he called me…

Vicky: halo maa

Ranno: Vicky

Vicky: Geet se baat karao na

Ranno: I am sorry Vicky, Geet is not at home

Vicky: but I wanted to talk to her maa

Ranno: I know how much you love her, but this Geet only lokthat Annie, that Annie is more important to Geet than us

Vicky: Annie? How is she? How is her new family?

Ranno had told Vicky also that Annie married someone…

Ranno: I don’t want to talk about her

Vicky: please maa, just tell me how she is

Ranno: I don’t know, only your sister talks to her, Geet has gone to see Annie and Riya only

Ranno tells the truth accidentally…

Vicky: who is Riya? Geet’s new friend?

Ranno: yes, that’s Annie’s daughter

Vicky: Annie has a daughter, how I wish I had a daughter like Riya?

Ranno felt very bad for Vicky and told everything to Vicky…

Ranno: Riya is your daughter Vicky, that Annie has kept your daughter hidden from us all these days

Vicky: are you telling the truth maa? What about Annie’s husband? Does he love Riya?

Ranno: how would I know?

Ranno is not ready to disclose the truth about Annie’s cancelled second marriage… and how Annie is still waiting for Vicky only…

Vicky: maa, have you seen Riya?

Ranno: no, Annie won’t let us see Riya

Vicky: how would she?

Ranno: forget about her Vicky

Vicky: I want to talk to Geet maa , next time you ask Geet to talk to me, I will call you in a couple of days

That’s the last conversation that Ranno had with Vicky ….

Ranno: I think he got mad that Annie didn’t tell the truth about his daughter

Geet: but he should have at least tried to know about Riya more

Ranno: why would he?

Geet: it’s his daughter maa

Ranno: I knew that Annie’s return will bring bad luck to our family, see now Vicky has stopped talking to me too

Geet: no maa, it’s Annie’s bad luck that she married bro, she deserves a better life than what the Handas have given her

Ranno,: you always support Annie only

Geet: because she is my friend first and then my bhabhi, the family should support her and take care of her in bro’s absence, she is here for Riya, otherwise she has her family that loves her at any cost, not like you, stop blaming Annie for your son’s mistakes, you should be thankful that you got such a sweet bahu, no other girl would come to her sasural when her husband is not there

Ranno can’t say anything for Geet is speaking the absolute truth…

Geet can’t tolerate anything Ranno says against Annie… who gave her the right?

Annie is here because of Geet, not on her own….

Ranno is only blaming Annie and is failing to see the truth about Vicky’s life being in danger because of his own deeds…

Geet is following Ranno like a detective everywhere…

Ranno gets ready to go out without anyone’s knowledge…

Geet pretends to be innocent and let’s Ranno leave the house before Geet follows her ….

Ranno takes a cab and goes to the multiplex…

There she goes to see “Jawan”..

Geet also goes there….

What is this? Has Ranno come to see the movie to relieve her stress?

Ranno is not a movie buff but Geet is…

But Ranno has got the ticket…

Someone has booked the ticket for her…

Geet doesn’t have one, what to do now?

It’s not easy to get a ticket for this show….

Geet calls Maan, she has to get in somehow…

This MSK always boasts that he could do this and that, he has never done anything for his wife, let him get this ticket for me at least…

Maan: Geet, what’s it now? I am in the middle of a meeting, meke it quick, I don’t have all day for you, I have more important things to do than listen to your nonsense 24*7

How rude MSK? But Geet has no other option…..

Geet, Maan has already given his precious time for the dinner, you are lucky to get that, now you have become greedy and you want more!!!

Maan is not going to welcome this…

Geet comes to the point straight away without wasting his time…

She also knows that Maan is busy at KC… haina?

Geet: Maan, I need a Jawan ticket, at the abc cinemas for the current show right now, jaldi kuch karo

Maan can’t believe it, He is the MSK, not some ticket booking agent or a black market seller…

Maan: Geet, I don’t watch movies

Geet: it’s not for you, it’s for me, and it’s urgent

Maan: i can’t do anything Geet

Maan is in a hurry… the clients are back from the coffee break and the meeting is about to resume…

Geet: I want it now, it’s your pregnant wife’s wish Maan

Maan: I don’t care, do whatever you want Geet, go and complain to anyone you want , Maan Singh Khurana is not your servant, samji tum?

Maan cuts the call…

Geet is disappointed…

Geet: what Maan Singh Khurana, Maan Singh Khurana?, can’t even get a movie ticket for his beloved wife, but always bragging about himself, useless Khurana, who needs such a servant?

A couple who is standing nearby is watching Geet, not only them, but everyone ..

Luckily Ranno has gone inside the theatre…

Geet: babaji, what is this? You chose a Dhust Danav for me? Babaji , you made a manufacturing defect while making this MSK and you want me to suffer for your mistake? Not fair, get this piece ready or give me a replacement, else I will sue you after coming to heaven

The girl who is pregnant feels bad for Geet, she was listening to Geet’s conversation with Maan..

Girl: are you also pregnant?

Geet: yes

Girl: how many months?

Geet: three

Girl: I understand your plight very well, was that your husband you were talking to?

Geet: yes, he never cares about me

Geet has started to complain already, how well Maan knows her!!

Girl: husbands are always like that, they never care about us even in this condition, she looks at her husband standing beside and stares him

Poor guy, he got the ticket paying triple and yet his wife is finding fault with him….

Geet: you are looking 6 months pregnant

Girl: you are right

Geet: you like SRK?

Girl gets excited now, meeting another SRK fan…

Girl: I love him

The poor husband is watching her sadly….

Geet: your husband must also be a fan of SRK, you are so lucky, that’s why he got you the tickets

Girl: nooo, he is here because he has no escape, look at him, he looks like he has come to Mars or Jupiter

Geet: yes, he definitely belongs to some other planet, how could one not like SRK?

Girl: absolutely, I would wish to see the movie with you rather than this alien, would you like to join me?

Geet is very happy… she jumps in joy….

She is more interested in watching the movie than spying Ranno now…

Geet: but what about him?

Geet points her husband….

Girl: he will be more happy than us, he will go to his office and join his endless meetings, no problem

That guy escapes giving the tickets to them without even wasting a second…

Geet: thanks a lot, let’s go

They go and watch the movie..

Geet totally forgets about Ranno and why she has come here after seeing her hero on the big screen…

Geet enjoys the show whistling and clapping with the crowd…

That girl too joins … it’s truly a Paisa vasool day for that girl…. She got the right company to watch the movie….

During intermission Geet gets the girl popcorn and ice cream, and they talk about the highlights of the movie, specially their hero’s performance…

After the show that poor husband is waiting at the gate to take back his wife on time….

Girl: where is your husband?

Geet: he has no time for me

Geet sighs…

Girl: you need to take charge of your marriage before it’s too late, these guys know nothing about relationships, we should take the lead and make them follow us

Geet: you are right, I will definitely use this advice

As if Geet needs relationship lessons, she has made the MSK himself in her kathputli, haina?

After coming home Geet is reminded about Ranno…

She goes to see Ranno who is in her room… .

Ranno is lost in her thoughts, she is looking pale and fear ridden…

Geet: maa, maaa

Ranno: Geet, tum? What’s the matter?

Geet: you only have to tell what the matter is

Ranno: I don’t understand

Geet: I came to the theatre

Ranno: what?

Geet: what’s it now?

Ranno breaks down…

Ranno: I am afraid I will lose Vicky

Geet: don’t say that, we will get our bro back soon, please tell me what happened

Ranno tells Geet about the whole story…

Ranno had got a text message from them which she got in a hidden mobile under her seat at the theatre…

That message was that Vicky’s life is in danger of they don’t receive the money in 10 days time…

And this is the last warning, of she goes to the police then she will never see Vicky….

Geet gets angry…

Geet: it’s no use talking to them, we should do something soon, you don’t worry, I will take care of this, you keep talking to them and assuring them that you will soon arrange the money somehow, that will keep their hopes alive and they will not touch bro

Ranno: I don’t know what will happen to Vicky

Geet: trust me maa, nothing will happen to bro, I know these people, they want the money and for that they need bro more than us

Ranno: I hope they will not harm him as you say

Geet: they won’t , bro is their Trump Card, they will keep him safe

Ranno: but what will we do to save my boy, we don’t have much time

Geet: Leave that to me maa

Geet has to think quickly, but first she needs to get some fresh air and refuel her brain only Maan can help her get back her form… haina?

Geet has this dinner date coming up….
