Chapter 73

Part – 72

Next morning…..

Maan had finally fallen asleep after all those nightmares that he had about his near future…

Geet had a good night’s sleep for she is confident that MSK is her’s , only her’s…

Geet gets ready, orders her morning tea and waits for it…

The bell rings…

Maan wakes up….

It’s the room service…

Geet goes and gets the tea and the news paper…

Maan keeps watching her secretly acting to be still asleep… .

Geet has discovered a great actor!!!!

Geet keeps the tray on the table and turns towards the bed ..

Maan closes his eyes immediately…

Geet: hmm, look how my Dhak Dhak is sleeping? Hayeee mein marjaawan

Geet moves forward still looking at Maan…. . .

Geet goes and sits beside him…

Geet: babaji, where you angry with me when you created MSK? Look what you have done? He is still frowning even in his sleep

Maan tries hard not to react….

This girl might come across as being insane, but she is the only one who could see through Maan’s defence shields and read his hidden secrets like an open book …

Geet: wonder whom he is scolding in his dreams, Geet, it must be you only, who else has the rights to come in MSK’s dreams? Haina Maan? You might have a bad dream today, but I am sure you might have had a lot of naughty dreams too, if not, you will soon have them, I will take care of that

Maan is like, ye toh sach mein pagal ho gayi hai, aur iss ke saath rehta toh mujhe bhi pagal banadegi, Bach ke rehna Maan…

Lekhin Khuranaji, aap toh pehle hi pagal ho chuke hain…

Geet: hmmm Maan, you know what? I get to meet my beloved hubby only when he is asleep, my condition is very pathetic, how long should I do this? You better wake up to the reality soon, I can’t wait any longer

Maan thinks about giving up his acting and waking up just to stop this torture….

Geet bends over and gets closer to Maan’s face…

Maan could feel her breath….

Geet whispers….

Geet: how I wish I could wake you with a morning kiss? Maan, that day is not too far

Geet then gets up and goes…

Maan breathes easily and watches her with a half opened eye….

Geet opens the screen and the early morning Sun kisses her beautiful self…

Maan gets to enjoy his morning with that pleasant sight….

Geet looks gorgeous in that biege chiffon saree with Anjali style sleeveless blouse….

Geet bathes in the morning Sunlight, throws open the window, breathes in the fresh air with her arms open and eyes closed…

Geet swirls around to drench herself thoroughly in the Sunlight…

Maan is gazing at the beautiful sight without a blink…

Maan dreams about running into those arms, hugging her tight and returning her dreamy morning kiss….

Maan can’t take it anymore…

Maan acts as if his sleep is disturbed by the Sunrays…

Maan: Geet, what time it is? We should leave

Maan pretends to be concerned about being late…. Liar Khurana…

Geet: look who is the late Latif? Uff it’s MSK

Maan escapes to the washroom…

Maan gets ready and comes…

Geet is waiting for him…

Maan: let’s go Geet

Geet: Maan, come and have your black coffee, I have been waiting for you only

Maan goes and sits with her…

Geet pours her tea and black coffee for Maan….

Geet: here you go Maan, it’s coffee time

Geet gives him the coffee mug along with the newspaper…

Maan is used to that habit, Geet knows that…

Maan takes them and covers his face with the paper , just in case Geet finds out his truth by looking into his eyes….

Geet enjoys her tea while humming the song from the last night…

“kehna hai kya…”

Maan remembers how he was driven crazy by this enchanting seductress last night…..

“pehli hi najar me kuchh ham kuchh tum

ho jate hain yu gum naino se barse rimjhim

rimjhim hampe pyar ka sawan sharam thodi thodi hamko

aaye to najre jhuk jaye sitam thoda thoda hampe

shokh hawa bhi kar jaye aisi chale aanchal ude

dil me ek tufan uthe ham to lut gaye khade hi khade

kehna hi kya ye nain ik anjan se jo mile

Maan kept his senses in control with a lot of difficulty…

Not that his condition is any better now…

This girl always makes him lose his mind no matter what, she just has to be anywhere around him to turn on this madness…..

Seems like it’s going to be a little longer before Maan could get rid of this madness….

Babaji, please give him the strength to survive this madness…

Maan: shall we go?

Geet: ok Maan

At Pari’s place….

Vicky is safe and still not in any condition to understand where he is or with whom he is…

Geet gets a little carried away seeing Vicky….

Geet keeps watching Vicky as he is half asleep and is not willing to see what’s happening around him…

Though Geet is happy that Vicky is finally back, she has a little doubt if she has done the right thing by doing so, does Annie deserve this Vicky?

Or maybe Annie was better off without this Vicky?

Maan might come across as being insensitive, but he is in a way right to choose the best for his sister, that is a peaceful life under her brother’s eyes….

Maan is surprised to see Geet looking unhappy and without her energy, like she has lost confidence in herself….

Maan goes towards Geet…

Maan: Geet, finally you did it, you have fulfilled your promise, you have brought back Annie’s life and Riya’s father

Geet is still looking at her brother and questioning herself…

Maan: Geet, what happened? You should be proud of yourself

Geet: I don’t think so Maan

Maan: Geet, even when no one trusted you including me, Annie believed in you, and you have not disappointed her, look Vicky is back, Annie will be so happy to see him

Geet: but Maan, will Annie be happy with bro again? I don’t think so

Maan: why not Geet? Now after seeing Vicky, I doubt if Annie would have been happy without Vicky

Geet: Is this the man Annie loves? No, I am not so happy to return this bro to Annie, specially Riya, Riya doesn’t deserve such a father Maan

Maan: Geet, give him some time, Vicky needs help, he will get better

Geet: I am scared about Annie only, she will be heart broken to see bro in this condition

Maan: don’t worry about Annie Geet, I have already talked to her and told her about Vicky’s rescue, she is really happy

Geet: but she hasn’t see him yet Maan

Maan: Geet, it’s not going to be easy for Annie too, I have spoken to a doctor, he runs a rehabilitation centre, he has asked to bring Vicky there, he will take care of Vicky

Geet: i hope I have not ruined Annie’s life

Maan: don’t be silly, you have given Annie’s life back to her, I am so proud of you Geet, you did what I couldn’t, you have won Geet

Geet to herself… this victory was not that difficult, babaji, now how can I win over this DD? Please help me babaji

Maan: Geet, did you say something? Why are you always after babaji? He must take care of everyone Geet, what’s the matter Geet, maybe I can help you

Geet: don’t you bother about it Maan, you are of no use, now you take care of Annie’s problem and I will take care of mine

Maan: but Geet, you should not forget that you always need MSK’s help, you can’t do anything on your own if you remember, be it Annie’s wedding arrangements, or Vicky’s rescue

Geet: babaji!!! Ye app ne mere saath kya Kiya? Maan ke bina Geet kuch nahi kar sakti hai kya?

Maan: ye bhi koi poochne ki sawaal hai kya Geet?

Maan smiles victoriously…

Geet self talk…

Geet: you just wait and watch Mr.MSK, this time I will do it without anyone’s help, and you can’t escape from me, get ready for to face Mrs. Geet Maan Singh Khurana

They return to Delhi with Vicky, Maan takes Vicky straight to the rehabilitation centre…

Geet goes and brings Annie to the centre …

No one knows about Vicky’s arrival, specially Rano, they want to keep it a secret until Vicky comes out of his addiction….

Annie is happy to see Vicky….

Vicky is been sedated to help rest his mind…

Annie’s happiness fades away as she sees Vicky unconscious, not able to recognize her…

Annie: Vicky, what have you done to yourself? Come, let’s go home, Riya is waiting to see hee father

Annie gets emotional, she cries out loud…. She can’t see her husband like that, it was easier to stay away from him thinking that he is happy somewhere than seeing him like this….

The doctor advises to take Annie home…

Geet: Annie, I know how you are feeling right now, I know that this is not what I promised you, but bro will be okay, he just has to be under medical support for a few days

Annie: I know Geet, but I can’t see him like this

Geet: Annie, let’s go, bro needs to get the treatment before he comes home as you wish

Annie hugs Geet…. .

Annie: Geet, this is not possible without you, thanks Geet, you are the only one who understands me

Geet: I know Annie, but remember one thing, even though I can’t promise you anything about bro now, you should know that I will always be there for you

Annie: I don’t know what I would do without you Geet

Geet: shhhh, don’t say anything like that, now you have to be strong, you can take care of your life Annie, we are there, but it’s only you who have to take charge, I know you are much stronger now, you can do it this time Annie

Maan: Geet, let’s go, you two can continue talking later

They leave….

For a week no one is allowed to meet Vicky…

Annie can’t wait more, she is constantly worried about Vicky, she even forgets Riya…

Geet understands Annie’s plight and she takes care of Riya…

Annie ask Geet if she could see Vicky once….

Geet asks Maan to arrange for their meeting…

Maan takes Annie there, they let only Annie to meet Vicky…

Maan waits outside….

Vicky looks too tired and pale…

He could barely sit, his hands are shivering…

Annie: Vicky, look at you, what have you done with yourselves? You never thought about me, what will I do without you?

Annie goes and hugs Vicky….

Vicky feels the warmth of that hug which he desperately needed …

Vicky: I am sorry Annie, but I thought you forgot about us and settled in your life with someone else, I felt like a loser, I tried everything to change that, I went to Tara and tried to get some comfort from everywhere, and I ended up as the biggest loser, but when I heard that you have come back to Delhi then I wanted to meet you once, but I couldn’t get rid of things that enslaved me, I forgot everything again, I forgot you and even myself

Annie: you don’t know how much I missed you Vicky, I thought I lost you forever, I survived just because of Riya

Vicky: Riya?

Annie: since the day I got to know about my pregnancy I have been waiting to tell you about our Riya, I just wanted you to know that we have a beautiful princess, but I couldn’t

Vicky: Annie, is it true? I am a father? Really ?

Annie: yes, you are a father Vicky, Riya is our daughter

Vicky: Riya will never forgive me for what I did, I left you two to suffer unnecessarily because I am too selfish, I am ashamed to meet my daughter, I am such a pathetic father

Annie: I am happy that you are back, you might be a pathetic person but you will be a good father

Vicky: I am really sorry Annie, but I promise that I won’t disappoint you this time, yes, I will be a good father because Riya deserves a great father

Annie: I will never leave you alone and make sure that you fulfill the promises

Vicky: Haan Annie, never ever leave me because I need you

Someone knocks… your time’s up ma’am

Annie: but I can’t go without you Vicky

Vicky: it’s ok Annie, you go, Riya will be waiting for you, I will come soon as a new man

Annie: but you just said that you need me, I have understood my mistake, I am not going to leave you alone

Vicky: Annie, you should go, I will manage, I promise you that I will come home to see Riya soon

Annie doesn’t want to go…

But she has to…

Annie goes out…

Maan is waiting….

Annie runs to him…. .

Annie: bhaaaiiii

Annie starts crying….

Maan panics….

Maan: Annie, how is Vicky?

Annie: Bhai, he needs help, we can’t leave him alone, can’t we take him home, I will take care of him, he has changed

Maan: but Annie, he needs professional help

Annie: Bhai please, ask them to send Vicky with us

Maan: Annie, you know that Vicky is not in good health, he has to be under medical and psychiatric support to overcome his weakness

Annie: but Bhai, I can’t let him suffer alone

The ward boy comes…. : ma’am , Dr sir wants to meet you

Maan goes to meet the doctor along with Annie…

The doctors also feel that Vicky could use his wife’s support…

Now that Vicky has improved a lot, he is in control, he is stable and conscious about his condition…

At this stage the patients need personal care and attention which will make it easier for them to come out of this addiction faster…

Annie is happy to stay with Vicky…

Annie goes home to take her things…

Geet is waiting….

Maan has told Geet about what happened….

Geet: Annie

Annie: Geet, thanks for everything, I got my Vicky back

Geet: Annie, I did nothing, your love for him has only saved him

Annie: Geet, do you know that Vicky still loves me, I knew that

Geet: I know Annie, he just got lost in that mad world, he is always be yours

Annie: I have to go Geet

Geet: Maan told everything, you don’t worry about Riya, I will take care of her

Annie: ok Geet

Maan goes and drops Annie…

Maan: take care Annie, of you need anything just call me, be very careful

Annie: don’t worry Bhai, I am not alone

Maan self talk … that’s the problem Annie….

Maan: Annie, don’t hesitate to ask for any help, these people are here to help you

Annie: bhai, I will take care of myself, you just take care of Riya

Maan leaves reluctantly…

Maan then goes to pick up Riya…b

Riya is ready to go to KM along with Geet….

Geet: dadi, aashirwad dijiye, I am going to my sasural

Dadi: jeete raho aur kush raho, aur apna khyal rakho

Geet: Maan, you too get Dadi’s blessings

Maan is shocked…. .

Maan: but Geet

Geet: Maan, aao

Dadi: Maan bete, take care of Geet, she is not alone now, she is going to be the mother of your child, it’s your duty to take care of your wife and baby both, you know everything

Maan: Haan

Geet is happy….

Geet: let’s go Riya

Maan couldn’t stop Geet….
