Chapter 23 - I never stopped loving you....
"No this cannot happen to me again....I cannot let it happen.....No one can take away Maan from me......." she spoke to herself...
and then Rehan came....she took Aahana with her.....and they left for airport.....Her tears almost dried...she was calling again and again...Maan's cell........but it was not reachable......and she started praying......
"Babaji.......please don't do this to me again.....I will never talk to you if you did this with me........"
@airport
As they reached airport...there was huge crowd.....everyone wanted to know the latest.....they also joined them....but there was no update from the airlines....
Geet.....was seating.....waiting.....thinking...." why life is again playing games with her.....but this time....I will not let anyone snatch my happiness.......nothing can happen to him.......he has to come back for me......he promised me and Aahana....." and she looked at Aahana...who was sleeping....who didn't understand what was going on....she could only understand that...they are waiting for her Dad at airport......
Then Rehan came....and she broke from her thoughts....
"Geet...they have put up the passengers list.....there are no survivors....."
She panicked hearing it....but she then gathered all strength........
Geet went...with him...dreading to hear the bad news.....her legs not lifting....her eyes not wanting to look at the list...then she consoled herself......."Maan ko kuch nahin ho sakta........bharosa rakhon...."
and she looked at the list.....She frozed......she saw his name in the list......the status was marked as checked in
and then she almost collapsed .....going numb....and if it was not Rehan....she would have fallen on the ground...
"Geet...sambholon apne aap ko...Aahana...ko dekhon...she is crying......"
She looked at her....Aahana was crying....scared...seeing her mom like this.......and she knew...she cannot become weak now.....
"Rehan....let us go home....."
@home
On her way back....only one thought coming to her again and again......."I don't believe this......Maan ko kuch nahin ho sakta.....he has to come back for me...He cannot go again from my life......I have faith in Babaji......."
"Geet...do you want me to stay with you..." Rehan was concerned about her.....as he dropped her at the gate....
"Rehan.....I am fine......I will manage......." she didn't wanted to lose the strength....she didn't wanted to be weakened...nothing can break her...... .she has his love as her strength... ..
and slowly she came inside the gate...took out the keys to open the door.........and suddenly....
"Geet...where you were....I am waiting here at Gate....for both of you......so long....
"Oh......Maan I love you so much...." she hugged him tightly....
He was surprised...by her sudden confession....still not able to believe what she said....
"Maan.....you don't know ......I had faith in Babaji...that this time...you cannot go away from me......" she looked at him with love....
"Geet...I was not going anywhere.....I will not leave you for a moment also....."
and then she just stopped him......by claiming his lips.....and he was totally confused...suddenly what has happened.........
"Geet...what happened...are you going to tell me anything....."
"Maan ....I want to marry you.....now......." she didn't released him....
"Geet....I am so happy......but could you tell me what has happened....." he was not able to believe her.....
"Not...now...." she again kissed him...as if trying to assure her....
"Hmm....OK...." and he gave in......they started kissing.......lost in each other.....
and then after some time.......they came inside....
"Maan...you know.....your flight crashed.......I am just coming from airport.......you didn't go..?"
Maan was shocked...after hearing it..... "Geet....Dadima was discharged.....when I came to know about it....I came out though i had checked in.....I cannot go leaving you here....."
Maan still trying to absorb the fact that the flight he was suppose to go...crashed.....
"......and what happened to your mobile...I was trying to reach you so badly...."
"Geet...I forgot mobile in car while going back....."
"Maan....I was so shattered......I was so scared.....Last night only I had decided to listen to my heart and marry you....and then today this.....I was so scared.......I couldnot believe my fears were coming true....but I had faith in Babaji.....I had believe in our love....I never lost hopes......"
She was so delighted...not able to express her happiness....
"Geet......darr kee vajah se hum jeena toh nahin chod sakte hain......." and he took her in his arms...kissing her thoroughly.......finally realizing what she must have felt and gone through......her happiness.....making sense to him.....
"Haan.....aur.....Maan...tumhain kuch ho jaata toh.....main.....sabse lad jaati.....Babaji se bhi......" she sharing her deepest feelings....
"Geet....ab tum hoshyiarpur wali lag rahin hon........" he teased her....wiping out her tears.....
"Hoshyiarpurwali......matlab....?" she gave him angry stare......
"Mera matlab ...woh Geet...who believed in dying in love....mere liye kuch bhi kar jaane wali..... meri diwaani .....I am so happy to see that love back in you....."
She looked straight in his eyes.....making her confession...."Maan....I never stopped loving you.....these five years.....not a single day went when I had not thought about you...gussee se pyaar se...har tarah se tumhain yaad karti thi....."
"Geet.....Hmmmm toh tum mujhse pyaar karti...hon....."...he then lifted her and took to the bed....giving her a intense kiss....and started removing her clothes.....her hands also went inside his shirt....
suddenly she remembered.....
"Maan...I think ....we should take Doctor's advise before doing this......"
"What do you mean....from where the Doctor came between us....."..he was confused.....
"Maan....." she didn't said anything......and just looked at him...pointing at her stomach....trying to make him understand.....but then realizing he is still confused......finally gave up....
"Maan...I think.....I am pregnant...."
"Oh God.......Geet ......what are you doing today........ek ke baad ek khushi......I can't take so much together.....mera kuch toh khayal kiya hota........" and he once again claimed her lips...and then suddenly he left her hurriedly......
"Maan....."
" Geet....ek minute...I will be back soon...." and he called Adi....
" Adi....I want one pandit now......"
"Sir...Itni raat main........."
"Addddi...and also......get all things needed for marriage....I and Geet are getting married now....."
"Yes Sir......." He didn't asked anything further.....
She heard what he said to Adi and came nearer to him...
"Maan.....Kal subah bhi hum shaddi kar sakte hain...."
"Geet......kahin tumne apna faisla badal diya toh.....main risk nahin le sakta......" he looked at her with shararat....
"Maan......." she was now angry.....
Maneet's Marriage
Soon the pandit came and Adi made all arangements....Maan called Rehan and Sanjida also......only 5 of them....Aahana was very excited......She seating in between them.....Geet chose a red saree and Maan wore a off-white kurta pyajama....and the marriage was over with pheras.......saat kasmain......agni...and wishes......
"Geet mam....that day only I knew this will happen, when Maan sir asked me to get your personal biodata......." Adi was all smiling and happy...
"My biodata....Maan...?" she looked at him questioningly......
"Geet...woh jaroori...tha.....jung main utarne se pehle....saamne walain ke barain main janna jaroori hota hain....." Maan didn't knew where to see.....
"Maan.....toh main tumhain jung dikhai deti hoon......"
"Geet....yeh jung se kam tha...tumhain phir se jeetna...." he picked her in his arms.....
She knew he is saying truth........and they kissed each other...taking kasam...in their hearts...to be with each other forever.......
Concluded.....
