Sydney, Australia
Geet hurriedly rushed into airport after parking the car...her eyes searched for maan...she actually felt worried about maan as he was new to sydney...she continued her search...but could not find maan...she sighed helplessly...
geet: kaha gaye honge? what to do now...he is new to this place...moreover here racism is more...oh god..plz help him...before its too late i have to find him...
geet ran outside in search of maan...she looked everywhere around the airport...but couldnot find him...with no option left...she called sunny...
sunny: geet...u reached airpor? is he with u right now?
geet remained silent and started walking towards the parking lot...
geet: actually sunny...iam in airport only...but...
said these words she raised her head ...accidentally...then her eyes widened in surprise...
geet: sunny...hold...on...
said these words geet ran to the parking lot where maan was standing...geet stopped right infront of him...maan looked at geet confused...geet kept her hands on knees and was panting...after sometime...
geet: aap sydney ko jaanthe hey?(still panting)
maan nodded..."no"
geet: phir kyu aaya bahar...aapko zara bhi andaaz hey iss city ke baare mein...aap kisi keliye wait kar rahe the na...wahi pe ruk sakthe the na..agar aap bahar aaya..tho jo admi aapko recieve karne aayega woh kaise aap tak pahunch payega...
geet spat out the words in anger...maan remained silent...actually he was feeling confused with sudden outburst of geet...
geet: are u deaf? kuch tho boliye?
maan: woh...mujhe bhook lag rahi thi...kal se kuch nahi khaya...plane mein bhi woh khana kha nahi paaya...bahuth dher tak wait kiya maine...lekin koi nahi aaya...isliye kuch khane keliye bahar aagaya...
geet got more angry with maan's words...
geet: khane keliye...airport mein ithna miltha hey khaane keliye...aap bahar kyu aaye?
maan: woh...waha kuch zyada hi mehenga tha...aur mere paas ithna pais abhi nahi hey...isliye...
geet felt bad with maan's words...her anger vanished completely...
geet: iam sorry...mein bhi gusse mein kuch zyada hi bhol diya...chaliye ab hum chalthe hey...
maan looked at geet with a big question on face...geet understood his situation...
geet: woh kya hena...jo aadmi aapko lene keliye yaha aana tha...woh aa nahi paye...wahi arjun ke bhai...sunny..isliye mujhe bheja hey...waise humare mulakath ke baad mujhe sunney se call aaya...ab chale...
maan smiled and nodded "ji haa"
geet took out the car ...made arrangements for maan's luggage in the car...both maan and geet got into the car...just then she remembered about sunny...she called him...
geet: sunny...maan is with me...tell me where i have to take him...
sunny: thank god...geet u take him with u...i will meet u both in ur apartment tonight...
said these words sunny cut the call...geet drove her car to her apartment...through out their journey maan remained silent...thinking about his grand parents...geet noticed that and tried to cheer him up...
geet: waise hamare introduction nahi hua...iam geet...(keepin her hand forward)
maan smiled and gave a handshake...her touch gave him goosebumps...he immediately took back his hand and was about to reply...geet interrupted saying "aap maan hey na"...sunny ne bathaya...
geet: waise aap yaha padayi keliye aaye hey
maan: nahi...yaha pe arjun sir hey na uska sports centre mein kaam karne keliye aaya hu...
geet: tho aap athlete hey...mujhe bhi sports bahuth pasand hey...lekin time nahi miltha hey na...isliye nahi karsaka...mein yaha pe...animal nutrition mein doctoral degree kar raha hu...aur shyam ke waqt kuch part time job...
maan smiled...geet kept talking to him all sort of things just to make him feel comfortable...after sometime maan slept in the car itself...
geet: (monologue) why am i behaving like this today...mein kisi keliye bhi koi kaam nahi karna chahthi...fir aaj iss aadmi keliye ...yeh sab kardiya...kisise bhi teek se baath karne ka bhi mera mann nahi kartha...aur inse...ithne baath kardhi...jo mein pichle 10 saal mein bhi nahi kiya...
by then her car reached the apartment...maan too woke up from the sleep when the car stopped...geet looked at maan and said...
geet: hum pahunchgaye..
maan looked around in surprise and asked...:"kaha"
geet: mera flat
maan got down from the car and looked at the apartment...geet parked the car and along with maan entered the lift to reach her flat...after entering the flat maan was surprised...everything was neatly arranged...maan looked around...
maan: aapka ghar bahuth achcha hey...
geet: thanks...waise iss room mein aap aram kijiye...bas mein khana lagadethi hu...sunny aathe hi honge...
maan went to the room which geet showed him...geet went to kitchen to prepare dinner for both of them...
after preparing dinner geet too went to her room to freshen...after shower geet wore a white coloured night dress,,,with her curly hairs left open...she cam back to dining table and waited for maan...
geet: maan...jaldi aayiye...khana tayyar hey...
maan who came out of his room stood speechless after seeing geet...her eyes, her face,her perfume, her hair...everything was perfect...attracting him towards her ...soon he snapped from his thoughts...
maan: maan ...yeh kya soch raha hey thu...aisa anjaani desh mein yeh ladki tumhari ithni madath kar raha hey...tum unke baare aise sochne lage...sudhar jao...tumhari zindagi yeh sab keliye koi jagah nahi hey...pehla tum apna naukri kar...paisa kamao...dikhao apne dadaji ko tumhari takath...tab tak...tum apne aap per kabo rakhna hoga...
maan approached dining table lowering his head trying to avoid ant eye contact with geet...but geet misunderstood that maan was shy type of person and thats why she didn't bother him much...maan took a glance at food items...there was nothing he could cherish...his hunger died seeing the food items...maan was not knowing what actually were the food items...geet understood maan's plight...
geet: maan...yaha pe...indian khana milna thoda mushkil hey...agar aap sydney mein rehna hey tho...u have to adjust to this style of food habits...
maan understood what geet said and he tried to eat one of the items...but he couldnot...the taste and smell was nauseating to maan...he went to washroom to vomit...he felt sick...
geet came near him...gave him warm water...and tried to make everything that made him feel comfortable...when geet was leaving to his room...
maan: geet ji...
geet stopped and turned towards maan...
geet: kuch chahiye...
maan: nahi...bas aapko...thank u bolna tha isliye...
geet smiled...
geet: hey...don't be formal...no need of thanks...aap aaram kijiye...sunny aane ke baad mein aapko jaga dethi hu...ok...
said these words she left the room...maan kept looking at geet lost in her beauty...
after completing her work geet too went to her room to have a nap as she was maha tired...
arjun called sunny...
arjun: sunny...maan teek se pahunch gaya na...u r taking care of him? do you...
sunny: haan bro...he is fine...
arjun: woh hamare flat hey na...jo khali pada hua hey...usko clean karvake..maan ko de dhena...from nowonwards he will be staying there and moreover it is very nearer to sports centre also...
said these words arjun cut the call...leaving sunny in confusion...as sunny sold the flat to clear his personal debts...
sunny: what to do now? agar bro ko pata chala...he will kill me...kya karu...?
to be continued...
