Part 79
Everyone is still shocked seeing her. Viren shows Maan his hand indicating for him to calm down and everything will be fine. Pammi is standing in the witness box looking at Geet apologetically. Geet is looking from Maan to Pammi and is speechless. Jai comes to Pammi and says, 'Mrs. Pammi Khurana, kya aap humhe batayegi ke Dev ne Geet ke saath kya kiya?' She takes a deep breath and says, 'Dev ne Delhi bohot saare karze le liye the alag cheezon ke liye. Jab baat bahar aayi toh Delhi mein rehna mushkil ho gaya aur hum Canada chale gaye. Lekin hum Delhi tab tak wapas nahi aa sakte the jab tak yeh karz adaa nahi hote. Dev aur Naintara ne milkar Hoshiarpur jaane ka faisla kiya. Jaha par woh wahi ki koi ladki se shaadi karke dahej mein diye hue gehne aur property ko bech denge. Do teen ghar dekhne ke baad humhe Handa parivaar ki Geet dikhayi gayi aur humne ussi se Dev ki shaadi karvayi.' She continues on to narrate whatever happened till they left Geet at the airport. Maan looks furious and holds Geet close to himself as silent tears keep rolling down her cheeks.
Ram gets up and says, 'Objection, my Lord. Mrs. Pammi shayad kisi ke dabaav ke neeche aakar yeh sab keh rahe hai.' Jai replies to the judge saying, 'Your honour, Mr. Verma shayad yeh nahi jante ke Mrs. Pammi Khurana Maan ki sauteli maa hai. Woh yaha sach ka saath dene aayi hai warna kaunsi maa apne sage bte ko jail bhejegi.' The judge says that his objection is over ruled. Jai continues, 'Mrs. Khurana, aap yaha aayi kyun?' She is withholding tears and says, 'Geet aur Dev ki shaadi ke samay bohot aisi cheezein hui jo ek bohot barhe toofan ka sanket de rahi thi. Lekin kisi ne meri baat nahi suni. Main apne nalaayak bte aur bahu ki baaton main aa gayi. Mere andhe pyaar ne mujhe ek ladki ki zindagi ki barbaad karne par majboor kar diya aur uske baad saari khushiyan chali gayi. Hamare karam kabhi na kabhi saamne aate hai, Jai aur mera praishchit yahi hai ke humhe saza mile yeh shadyantara rachne ke liye.' Jai replies, 'Thank you, Mrs. Khurana. Aap jaakar baithiye.' He says, 'Main abhi Dev ko witness boz mein bulana chahouga.'
[Introducing in a very special appearance, Surekha Sikri (Saath Phere and Balika Vadhu fame) as Gautami Rathod, Naintara's mother]
Dev comes and sits down nervously looking totally hopeless. Jai says, 'Mr. Dev Khurana, kya aap apni mom ki baaton ko kabool karte hai.' He looks towards Naintara who shakes her head. He says no with a lot of difficulty. Jai smiles sarcastically and says, 'Mujhe pata tha aap yahi kahege. Itni cheezein karne ke baad apni mom ko jhutlana bohot choti baat lagti hai, hai na? Toh bataiye Dev, aapne apne karz kaise chukaye? Jaha tak mujhe pata hai aapke debts croron mein gaye the. Agar Maan ne aapki madad nahi ki toh kisne ki? Aapke accounts cleared hai aur woh bhi Geet se shaadi ke ek hafte mein' Dev cannot meet Jai's eyes and says, 'Naintara ke dad ne.' Jai raises his eyebrows and says, 'Oh, Naintara ki maa ne. Yeh baat woh ofcourse verify kar paayengi, hai na? Your honour, main Mrs. Gautami Rathod ko witness box mein bulana chahouga.' Naintara looks like she'll drop dead any moment as she sees her mother walking towards her and turning away towards the witness stand.
Jai says, 'Mrs. Rathod, Naintara aapki beti hai?' She replies, 'Jee, koi paap kiye the uski saza hai.' Naintara looks ashamed and angry at the same time. Jai asks, 'Dev ne abhi abhi kaha ke aapne unki madad kit hi koi financial problems main. Kya yeh sahi hai?' She replies, 'Jee nahi, humne in donon ki koi madad nahi ki.' Jai says, 'Aapki beti ne apne pati ke saath Geet Handa aur uske parivaar walo ke saath dhoka kiya hai. Kya aap yeh baat maan sakti hai?' Naintara looks pleadingly at her mother hoping that she won't say anything. Gautami takes a deep breath and says, 'Jee hum sirf maan nahi sakte balki aapko yakeen se keh sakti hain ke Dev aur Naintara ne aisa kiya hai kyunki unhonein humse iski baat ki thi. Humne unhe bohot samjhaya tha aur yeh dono ne kaha bhi tha ke woh aisa nahi karege lekin jab humhe Viren ka call aaya tab poori baat saamne aa gayi.' Jai says, 'That's all, your honour. Your witness, Mr. Verma.' Ram stands up clearly shocked with the change of events. He says, 'Aap apni beti ke khilaaf gawahi de rahi hai, Mrs. Rathod? Yeh sab maayein nahi karti siwaye un maaon ki jo apni zindagi mein itne vyast ho ke unhe apne baccho ki parvaah na ho.'
Gautami looks at him angrily and says, 'Kya aap bhi waisi maa ki aulad hai ke aap aisi baat kar rahe hai?' Ram is quiet and Gautami continues, 'Humne Naintara ko har woh cheez di jo ek maa de sakti hai. Waqt, pyaar, khushi lekin kuch cheezein logon ke dil mein se nahi nikalti. Jaise jhoot aur dhoka. Apne pita ki beti hai yeh. Apni zidd mein khud ke ghar ko jala sakti hai Naintara. Hamare liye bohot mushkil hai, yaha khade hokar apni beti ka sach kholna lekin kuch log baaton se nahi samajhte. Humne kaha tha na, Naintara. Ek din aapki zidd aapko le doobegi.' Naintara is shedding angry and shameful tears. She looks at her mother and stands up and screams, 'Haan haan!! Humne kiya hai yeh sab Dev ke saath milkar! Hamari zindagi banane ke liye!! Lekin hum galat nahi hain. Humne apne pyaar ke liye kiya, apne Dev ke liye. Aur iss Geet ne sab barbaad kar diya! Sab kuch! Brij ko yaha bulaya isse maarne ke liye phir bhi zinda bach gayi yeh!! Lekin aaj hum tumhe nahi chodenge, Geet!!'
Naintara runs towards Geet and holds her hand tightly as Maan loosens her grip and slaps her. He says, 'Tumhari himmat kaise hui meri patni ko haath lagane ki?' Naintara is about to say when Maan says, 'Shut up, Naintara. Yeh court nahi hota toh yeh tumhari zindagi ka aakhri din hota.' The lady constables take Naintara and make her sit next to them. Jai thanks Gautami and she sits back in the stands. Jai says, 'Your honour, Naintara ne khud apna gunaah kabool kiya. Ek gehri saazish, jhooti shaadi, gire hue iraade, attempt to murder aur marital rape ke gunaahon ke liye main iss adalat se darkhwaast karta houn ke aap Dev aur Naintara ko kadi se kadi saza de. Yeh ek misaal hogi un logon ke liye jo videsh se aakar Geet jaisi masoom ladkiyon ki zindagi ke saath khilwaad karke chale jaate hai. Mrs. Geet Khurana ko Maan mil gaya lekin har ladki ko zindagi mein ek doosra mauka nahi milta, your honour. Main bas itna hi kehna chahta. Your witness, Mr. Verma.' Ram stands up dejectedly and says, 'No questions, my lord.'
There is a session break for a decision when Pammi is talking to Maan. She says, 'Vadde Veerji aur Geet, main aap dono ki maafi ke laayak nahi houn. Main aapki zindagi ka hissa dobara nahi banougi. Kal hi chale jaougi lekin itna bharosa toh hai ke aap mujhse nafrat nahi karte. Maine jo kiya woh bohot galat tha lekin main bohot sharminda houn.' She folds her hand and Geet holds on to them and shakes her head. Maan says, 'Kyun maa? Ek doosri baar mujhe chot dee aapne. Ab toh purane ghaav nahi bhare the ke ek aur. Aur woh bhi meri zindagi Geet ke saath?' Pammi cries and says, 'Main janti houn, Maan. Maine tab bhi galat kiya tha aur aaj bhi galat hi kiya hai. Maine apne bte ke baare mein socha. Tum dono main sage sautele ka antar kiya lekin mere asli bte tum ho. Apni maa ko ek aur mauka de do. Please Geet, kaho na Maan se ke mujhe maaf karde. Usse pehle tum mujhe maaf kar do, Geet. Ek din nahi gaya jab mujhe tumhari chinta na hui ho. Please beta.' Geet looks at her and tries to remember her face at the airport where she starts hyperventilating realizing that maybe she did want to warn her. She says, 'Main aapse nafrat nahi karti lekin aapko maafi babaji se maangni chahiye.' Pammi shakes her head and cries. Maan walks away and Geet holds his hand. He looks back at her and says, 'I am sorry, Geet lekin iss baar mein in ko maaf nahi kar sakta. Mere liye toh mein maaf bhi kar doun, lekin tumhe diye hue zakhm ke liye nahi.' He frees his hand and walks away as Geet looks at him go.
The court session starts again. The judge gives his decision and Maan and Geet hold on to each other's hand tightly. The judge says, 'Saare sabooton aur gawahon ko saamne rakhte hue, yeh adalat iss nateejein par pohochi hai ke Dev Khurana ne Geet Handa se jhooti shaadi kit hi uske zameen aur gehnon ke liye. Uske ilawa jhooti shaadi kone ke bawajood Geet Handa ke saath shareerik sambandh banana ke liye bhi kasoorvar thehrati hai. Dev Khurana par fraud ka bhi aarop bhi sahi hai kyunki Dev aur Naintara ne Geet ke blank paper par dastakhat lekar uski zameen dhoke se bechi. Naintara Khurana ne Dev ki patni hote hue bhi unka iss jhoot mein saath diya aur Geet ko maarne ki bhi koshish ki. Yeh adalat ne yeh faisla kiya hai ke Dev Khurana ko in gunaahon ke liye dus saal ki jail ho aur Naintara ko paanch saal jail mein rakha jaaye. Brij ka case agle session mein poora hoga.' Maan looks down in disbelief and Geet looks at him understanding exactly what he is going through. She makes him look up and hugs him. He lets all his disappointment wash away in her arms knowing that he has done the right thing. She cries with a mixture of happiness and sorrow since she has Maan with her now without any worries but knowing that Maan has to live with the fact that his younger brother is behind bars.
