Part 2.....................................................................................................................
Ramu: "Geet or mahek."
Maan: "alright! I am leaving now. If they come. Say I did pay the haveli a visit."
Ramu nodes...
He drove off to the side. He couldn't concentrate. Not very well. After seeing his daughter & wife... E have completely for got he even have a family... He went back to deli...
Maan walks in to the office. Trying to remember what he really have told her before he left that day. Nothing. Not a single word. He shouted because she asked why? & after that he never even answered her phone call. He cursed him self for not answering.
Shasha walks in: "sir this is the new project. Any name you could suggest!"
Maan: "hmm... Yea. Mahek sing khurana."
Shasha looked at him in surprise: "umm alright."
Maan decided to pay mumabi khurana haveli a visit. Where els could they live. He had some weird urge to see his daughter.
Mumbai-
Geet managed to get out of the kitchen as whole khurana family came round for the weekend. Mahek was playing round with Dev & NT. Vicky also was round with Pari. & Ani with her two kids. House was full. It was there usual get to gather.
Dev: "bhabi how long? We are dying here of hunger!"
Geet: "coming! Coming! Oh god!"
Mahek: "mama I am hungry 2! Please mama! Mujce do na!"
Geet: "mahek! Not now! Go & play! After everyone finished."
Mahek: "do na mama!"
Geet: "no! Go mahek!" she shouts. Mahek walks off in tears.
Dadi: "use de dona!"
Geet: "no Dadima. Her demands going up day by day!"
The table was full. No mahek. Geet looked a bit worried. But ignored altogether. She was serving food to everyone. Then suddenly maan walks in. Geet froze on the spot. For fraction of second she didn't even realize it's maan... A 38 years old man. Her husband.! Or Dadima.
Dev: "bro?"
Maan looks at Geet. She have no symbol of there marriage. He didn't blame. It's been long years. Very long. There marriage probably have broken anyway. They had no relationship for past 5 years. Did they even have any relationship.
Maan: "au me!"
Vicky: "bro!... Come in... One by one all his sibling hugs him. Greats him...
Mahek runs down: "mama! Mama! Look what have I found." she pulls geets Palu to grave her attention. Geet smiles & picks her up. She shows a ring.
Geet: "very beautiful."
Mehek: "who is that man mama?" she points at maan. Who's eyes was looking at his daughter lovingly.
Geet looks at Dadima for a answer.
Dadi: "a guest beta.... Now you go upstair & play with Vicky." dadi gives Vicky a glare. Maan was hurt. Couldn't understand why exactly they addressed him as a gust to mahek. Didn't she know he is her father. After mahek leaves...
Dadi: "what are you doing here?"
Maan: "I was passing by. Thought I would pay you all a visit." he looks at Geet. She looks down.
Dadi: "you have now you may leave."
Maan: "was that my daughter?"
Dadi: "no! You have no daughter. Nor wife!" Geet didn't say a word. She kept quit... What did maan expect? Coming after 5 years... His so called wife & daughter to run towards him & hug him tight. Warm welcome.
Dev: "bro I think it's best to leave! Meahek Doesn't know anything! Nor we want her to. It's best for everyone."
Maan nodes: "I am staying here for few days. I will be at the outhouse."
Dev nodes. Maan walks off.
Morning sun came out early next day. Everyone went out. Leaving mahek & Geet home alone. Dev & NT was leaving. Everyone went to drop them to airport. They were alone at home. Some how maan comes in. Thinking the whole house was empty... But found Geet & mahek playing. Geet didn't see him... But mahek shouts out: "look mama! It's the guest again."
Maan felt hurt again. Geet turns round instantly. She was still scared of him. He looked the same. Same face. Same body. Nothing have changed. While Geet have lost wait. Half in tension half in some weird thought.
Maan: "au me! I did not realize you will be here."
Geet nodes & walks off with mahek. Hurriedly.
Maan felt hurt again. It was such a awkward situation.
Mahek runs off before Geet.
Maan: "does she know?" Geet stops. Nodding a no.
Maan: "I went to HP last week. Found out you two don't live there any more."
Geet nodes again. She could feel maan coming closer. She turns round: "mahek gets scared if she is by her self. She forced her self to smile. I should leave." maan looks at her ad she walks off. Geet did not understand this man at all. What exactly he wanted?
Maan knocks on there bedroom. Geet was surprised to see him.
Geet: "Ap?"
Maan: "I want to see my daughter!"
Geet: "she is sleeping."
Maan: "I will see her in her sleep. She will run way calling me a stranger again." Geet nodes & let's him in. He sits down beside her. Strokes her hair. Gives her forehead a kiss then walks off.
Maan: "thank you."
Geet nodes & locks the door. Maan stood outside for a minute or two before walking off to out house again....
Few days have passed. It was the day of maan leaving the house. Dadi was happy. She never want to see his face again. He just have lost his wife & child.
Dadi walks in with mehek.
Mehek: "by guest." she giggles & walks off with Dadima.
Geet smiles & was about to leave when maan stops her.
Maan: "can you two come to deli! I want to spend some time with mahek."
Geet stopped on the spot. She have no intention. Nor she wanted to.
Geet: "I don't think that's a good idea."
Maan: "please!... I...."
Geet: "I can't." Geet was still looking down. She didn't want to see him. Still scared. "it's not a good idea. Specially now! She may ask for her father which I can't give!"... Geet walks in. Not saying another single words. Maan felt empty again. There was no relationship between them! But there was between his child & him. He was the father.
Another year have passed. This time maan is the one who tried to call & keep in touch... But that simply did not work. Geet have no attraction towards her so called husband. Ironically mahek wanted to go to deli with her school trip. Geet had no other option then to go with her. They will be visiting the big khurana museum. Geet wasn't comfortable at all.
They make there way to deli. Dadi already have fixed everything to the khurana out house. Restrictedly told maan to stay way. She did not want any more trouble.
This trip was for 1 whole months. Showing the children & parents the day of deli compare to Mumbi.
Maan picks both of them up. Geet was taken back. Nor she could complain to Dadi or tell him to stay way.
Geet: "we will manage!"... Mahek have completely forgotten maan over the years.
Mahek: "who is this mama?" maan looks at mahek then Geet. Maybe truth as they are alone!
Geet: "umm... A friend of your Dev chacu!"
Mahek nodes & still keeps her distance way from maan.
Maan: "was the journey alright?" he tried to ignore the lie she just told mahek.
Geet nodes. & steps in to the car.
Maan: "I have arranged everything in to the haveli! You two don't have to stay in the outhouse!"
Geet: "no! We are fine!"
Maan: "no! Dadima is not here. It's my responsibility to look after you two.
Geet: "please. Ap responsibility ki bareme bath nahi Kate to acca hi. Ham dono hamesha independent he rahi hae!" maan looks way. Knowing exactly what she meant.
Geet & mahek walks towards the outhouse. Leaving maan all alone...
Next morning geet drops mahek with the other kids. She was not needed. Geet gives her forehead a kiss & waved good by. Maan stood behind. Against his car. Geet looks at him for few second then starts to walk off. Maan hurried behind her.
Maan "what will you do all day today?"
Geet "apko ka?"
Maan "you don't know this town!"
Geet "I didn't know Mumbi as well."
Maan "Geet car me beto!"
Geet "no! I am fine. Thank you."
Geet was about to walk off when maan holds her by hand. Geet snaps instantly. His touch.
Maan "sorry!"
Geet "please. I am fine alone." Geet walks off. She was in dilemma. What exactly he wanted from her & mahek. Now. After 5 years. "apni marjci Se gya tha. Pher? I haven't forced him or demanded to come back." maan stops the car right in front her.
Maan "car me bato"
Geet tries to ignore but it was true. She don't know anything about this place. She sits in.
Maan "where were you going?"
Geet "home"
Maan "I will drop you."
Geet nodes & looks out.
Maan went to office later on. He wasn't sure what was bothering him. What exactly was he worried about? Everyone noticed his change of mood. No one dare to ask. He was in foul mood.
Shasha "Ap tik to hi na MK?"
Maan "ha ku?"
Shasha "you never been late in office!"
Maan "so?"
Shasha "nothing. Sorry"
