Part Twenty-Five
Geet stood numb while she kept on starring at those papers in her hands. Those weren't any ordinary papers, but they were the court notice..
Geet felt someone tap her shoulder..
She came out of her mute mode and compose herself before turning around to find her dearest husband standing behind her.
She looked at him with shock eyes...
Maan look confuse and before he could ask something Geet ran pass him... up the stairs into their room..
Dadi: Maan Beta, what happen to Geet?
Maan: I don't know! I'll go and check
Dadi: Why don't you finish your dinner while I go and check on Geet? Maybe she needs someone parent type than her husband.
Maan nods his head.

Dadi enter inside Maaneet's room without knocking. She saw Geet (laying on her stomach) and most-likely shedding tears.
Dadi sat beside Geet and gently rub her back...
Geet made movements and buried her head inside Dadi's lap...
Dadi stroking Geet's hair
Dadi: Aren't you going to tell your Dadi what happen? Why are you shedding tears non-stop?
Geet lift up her head
Dadi cups Geet's face "Beta I am not just Maan's grandmother. I've told you earlier that I am also your grandmother too than why such hesitation in" Geet look away from Dadi's eyes "telling your Dadi. What is bothering you?"
Geet just hug Dadi..
Dadi decide to change the topic "fine! I will wait for the moment you are willing to share your deepest pain with me your family, but remember I am always there for you like I am there for any of my grandchildren"
Geet nods her head afterwards keep her head in Dadi's lap while she strokes her hair.
-
Maan saw his Dadi coming down the stairs with frown on her face.
Maan: What's wrong Dadi?
Dadi sat down on the sofa..
Maan pour glass of water for Dadi
Dadi smiles and take the glass of water and drinks it.
Maan: Why Geet
Dadi interrupts Maan "Beta I am starting to worry about Geet"
Maan: Why?
Dadi: Since the moment I've met Geet. I've started fantasizing about your guys marriage, but now I feel like I've made huge mistake.
Maan: Why are you talking like that? Did Geet say something to you that she isn't happy with the marriage?
Dadi sighs
Maan look impatient
Dadi: Nothing like that sort, but her eyes speak different language.
Maan recalls the moment – when her eyes are trying to say something to his eyes.
Dadi: I don't know what's bothering her deep down inside, but she is slowly falling apart. We need to make her understand that she isn't alone anymore. She has a family that is ready to support her in each way. Please Maan
Maan realize what he has to do now "Dadi, don't worry! I know what I have to do now and I promise you that very soon this house will be filled with happiness again"
Dadi look hopeful in Maan's word, but afraid of his action because his anger is the problem...
Maan turn to leave "Beta, let her sleep away her pain" Dadi told him.
Maan twist his head toward Dadi and nod his head.

Prithvi gets annoyed with Tani's phone begin engaged every time when he is trying to get hold of her. He sighs and look at the bus before boarding it.
Five minute late
"Excuse me" I look at the person who's voice echoed in my ears "if you don't mind may I have a seat beside you (by the window)?"
I stood up and let the girl sit beside the window. She looked very upset with her life or something because of the way she sounded. Once she sat down I also sat down.
She looked at me with big eyes.
I smile at her.
She also smile at me.
"Hi"
She begun to talk with me. I just smile and nod my head.
"Hi.. my name is Dhaani Mehra" She introduce herself to me. As if I am interested in talking to her. I just gave a look and hoping she will shut up for awhile, but I wrong.
"So going to Delhi for studying or something else" now she was getting on my nerves. I just ingored her and close my eyes for a change.
That gesture of mine showed her that I am not interested in chatting with her.
-
I came out of the washroom and saw Geet still sleeping peacefully or should I say more like cried herself to bed. I wonder what happen after she open the door (he recall Geet holding some sort of paper in her hand) it must be something to do with that paper she was holding in her hand.
I start to look for the paper without making any noise in the room, but luck was against me. I gave up and slept on the sofa inside our room. I know I could of slept on the bed to irritate her, but I don't feel like it.
Maan slept on the sofa, but kept on looking at Geet who slept silently with dried up tears.
