Chapter 64

Part – 63

At Annie’s room…

Riya is sleeping…

Annie is watching their wedding album…

That’s the only thing that helps her survive at the Handa house without Vicky….

Geet: Annie, what are you doing?

Annie is almost in tears looking at vicky in the album…

Annie: Geet, I am afraid Riya would get to know her father only from this

Geet: Annie, I have good news for you

Annie gets excited…

Annie: what is it Geet?

Geet: I am going to Mumbai to meet bro

Annie: did you talk to him Geet? Why isn’t he talking to me?

Geet: he will soon come and talk to you in person Annie, your wait is over, this time I promise to bring back bro

Annie: are you sure Geet?!

Geet: I am, I won’t make any mistakes this time, but this is a secret, you shouldn’t tell about my going to Mumbai to anyone, specially your Maan Bhai

Annie: I will also come with you Geet

Geet: no, I am not going to repeat that mistake

Annie: please Geet, I am sure Vicky will change his mind of we meet once

Geet: I know that Annie, that’s why I am going to bring him to you

Annie: but Geet I can’t stay here when you are going, I want to know what’s happening, I want to see him at least once, what if he doesn’t come with you?, I will come Geet

Geet: Annie, you know what happened last time, its too risky, it’s not safe for you

Annie: what about you Geet?

Geet: I can take care of myself Annie, moreover its not good for you to meet bro at Mumbai, I want you to meet your Vicky not someone else whom he has lately become, I will bring back bro but then it will take some time for you to reclaim your Vicky

Annie: I just want him back, anyway, once he comes back I will never leave him alone and make sure he forgets Mumbai

Geet: I know that once he returns he will only be yours Annie

Annie: will he come back Geet?.

Geet: he will, neither you nor Riya have to see him in this album then, maybe I will need it then

Geet might have to be content with Maan’s pics then????

Annie: what?

Geet: I said I would like to see it, give it to me Annie

Geet sees the album…

Geet is curious to see herself and Maan in that…

Then Maan knew Geet as the event manager…

Geet thinks about the past and couldn’t control her laughter…

That Maan who didn’t even care to know about Ms.Handa from the family that his sister was getting married into…

Now the same MSK has not only set foot inside a cinema hall for the first time but also went to watch some movie that he had no clue about with the same Ms.Handa…

Maan’s only entertainment has been chilling at the farmhouse ….

Geet is slowly bringing out the real Maan who is scared to shed his guards and expose himself for the fear of being abandoned again by his own loved ones…

Maan is not a Dhust Danav altogether, he is pushed to act like one because of circumstances…

Geet could only see a loving brother desperate to protect his little sister from being hurt like himself by anyone, Maan has seen Vicky with doubts from the beginning itself…

Maan is not to be blamed, his experience has made him like that…

After seeing Annie’s plight in her married life, Maan had lost any leftover hope in these selfish people….

Geet has to show him that true love still exists and he should forget about his unfortunate past and give himself a chance of being loved and learn to receive, accept and appreciate true love whenever it comes his way…

Geet immediately calls Maan…

It’s way past 11’0 clock and Maan is fast asleep…

As soon as the phone rings Maan knows that it’s his beloved wife Geet, surprisingly he is not annoyed or irritated but only happy to hear from her… .

Maan: Geet, what is it?

Geet: you are not a Dhust Danav

Maan: what?

Geet: I mean you are not what you pretend to be, you are not DD, you are capable of loving, I can see your love for Annie, for Riya, so you are capable of loving anyone, think about that, ok good night

Maan: Geeeet Geet

Geet cuts the call….

What? She called him to say something like that in the middle of the night?

And she hung up?

Maan calls back….

Maan: Geet, what’s it?

Geet: what?

Maan: I know you want to tell me something

Geet: I already told you

Maan: no, that’s not it, you are hiding something from me

How did he know? Geet actually called him to say that she wanted to meet him for she is going to miss him….

Geet: I am going to Kolkata to meet my friends who have come from New Zealand

Maan: when?

Geet: tomorrow morning

Maan: morning?

Geet: yes, I will miss you Maan

Maan: why didn’t you tell me?

Geet: Maan, if I say I will miss you, you should not be questioning me, you should be saying that ‘I too will miss you Geet’

Maan: you should have sent me the script earlier director ma’am

Geet: now that I have given you the dialogue, say it Maan

Maan: what?

Geet: just say it for me Maan even if you don’t mean it

Maan: I will miss you too

Geet: I will miss you too Geet

Maan: I will miss you too Geet, ok then, good night Geet, have a good time with your friends

Geet: that’s it! That’s how you are going to see me off? Not done Maan, come and say goodbye In person

Maan: ok, when is your flight tomorrow? I will come to the airport

Geet: nooo

Then Maan will find out the truth…

Maan: what?

Geet: you can’t come, my family will be there

Maan: then what do you want me to do Geet? Keep talking to you whole night?

Geet: why not?

Maan: ok, as usual you keep talking and I will listen

Geet: you will go to sleep I know

Maan: Geet it’s almost midnight, normal people sleep at this time

Geet: we are not normal people, definitely you are not Maan

Maan: yes, Geet, that’s why I agreed to your stupid idea

Geet: let’s go for a drive Maan, I will talk and you can listen then

Maan: now?

Geet: no, you come with me to Kolkata tomorrow and we will go for a drive there

Maan: Geeet

Geet: I will be waiting for you Maan

Maan: Geeeeet, don’t start walking in the street, stay inside the house until I come and call you

Geet: that depends on how long you take to come, I can’t wait all night

Geet cuts the call….

Maan runs to the car in his night dress itself…

Maan starts the car and calls Geet…

Maan: Geet, I am in the car, I am coming there in 15 minutes, wait for me Geet

Geet: your time starts now

Maan is worried that Geet will not hesitate to step out at this hour as she doesn’t think before doing anything…

It’s more dangerous when she thinks, because she puts into action anything and everything that comes to her mind…

Maan couldn’t understand how he got into this mess, it’s because of his frustration of failing to be a good brother to his little sister, in his quest to come out of that failure he has come this far, just a little away from becoming crazy…..

Maan keeps giving her live commentary as he arrives to pick her up….

Look what Geet has done with the mighty MSK …
