Part 7
The moment when savithri saw geet..she felt that she had met geet before..but couldnot remember where she actually met her...geet because of pain and weakness was not in a position to think about anyone at that moment...although she met savithrio devi earlier...she could not recognize her at that moment...geet sat down on the ground when she was unable to bear weight on the leg due to wound...savithri snapped out of her thoughts and looked at geet...
she then looked at bandage on geet's leg...with a worried look she asked...
savithri: beta kya hua aapke pair ko
maan who was walking seriously into mansion stopped when he heard her words...he turned back...and looked at geet who was silently listening without giving any answer...
maan: daadi..yeh sab baathein aap andher bhi karsakthe hey na...
savithri looked at geet with a smile...
savithri: haan..beta ...hum andher chalthe...
geet could understand only the last word "andher chalthe" from savithri...she smiled and nodded...but geet was unable to walk due to pain...then savithri turned at maan...
savithri: maan beta...yeh bechari chal nahi pa raha hey..thoda isse utake ghar ke andher leke aasakthe hey kya...
maan got shocked with her words...and looked at geet...sending virtual daggers onto her with his looks...
savithri: maan..aap khade khade kya dekh rahe hey...plz aayiye..aur inka help kijiye...
maan walked in anger towards savithri...
maan: daadi..aapko patha bhi hey..aap kya bol rahe hey...
savithri rolled her eyes...and turned toards maan...
savithri: maan...isme gusse karne wali ka kaunsi baath hey...bas mein aapko iss ladki ko help karne keliye keh rahi hu...
maan: mein bhi bahuth help kar chuka hu...bas..ab aur nahi...mera kaam tha unhe ghar lana..emin leke aaya..ab yeh sare tamasha mein nahi karsaktha
savithri: teek hey...agar aap nahi karenge tho...hum khudh karenge...
maan got shock of his life...he screamed.."kya"
savithri tried hard to control her smile...
savithri: maan...aap kyu ithna jor se chilla rahe hey...dheere se bholiye...
maan clenched his fist in anger...savithri gave a fake anger look to maan and walked towards geet...geet couldnot understand their conversation..she looked at them with a confused face..not knowing on which issue they were arguing...
savithri : chaliye beta..hum apko ghar ke andher leke jaathe hey...
having said these words savithri tried to lift geet in her arms...geet got shocked and started screaming..."madam yeh aap kya kar rahe hey"
savithri: beta...tum chal nahi paa rahe ho na..isliye...
geet couldnot understand a word what she said due to shock and fear...savithri again tried to lift her...looking at maan from the corner of her eye...
maan: daadi...bas bhi kijiye...bahuth hogaya hey ab...
savithri stood up instantly...and turned towards maan...
savithri: maan...ek aap madath nahi kar rahe hey..aur upar se...mujhe madath karne se kyu rokh rahe hey...dekhiye..mein ne aapko pehle kaha tha...ki artists/painters ko mein bahuth izzath kartha hu...yaha pe...eh ladki ithni dard mein hey..aur mujhe koi sharm nahi hey..aise logon ki seva karne mein...samjhe aap..hatiye..aur mujhe help karne dijiye
Being not able to listen to another lecture on artists and their god's gift...maan fastly came near geet and lifted her in his arms...geet became speechless with this sudden act of maan...she was unable to interpret what was happening with her...when she was about to say something...maan looked at her in anger and yelled in a low voice..."chup...ek aur shabd nahi"
geet who was close to his face first time read his lips and understood what maan said...she got scared with his rudeness and lowered her head..not knowing what to do...without wasting a second maan walked inside carrying geet in his arms...daadi smiled thinking that her plan worked well...when they reached tha main hall...maan tried to keep her on the couch...but savithri insisted him to take her to guest room...maan controlling his anger took geet to guest room ...when he was about to place her on bed..savithri came ...and said..."beta dheere se..."..maan gave an angry look to savithri...kept geet on bed and walked to his room slamming the guest room door...savithri smiled...geet lowered her head trying to avoid eye contact with maan...she even didnot notice maan leaving the room...
savithri came near geet and touched her head...geet looked at her...and her lips..trying to interpret what she was saying...
savithri: beta...mein ne aapko kahi dekha hey..lekin mujhe yaad nahi aarah ahey..mein ne apko kaha dekha hey...
geet then remebered her interaction with savithri devi at metro railway station...
geet : ji...woh kal metro station pe...aap hi na bahathay tha mujhe metro ki baare mein...
savithri: haan...correct..hum log kal mile the na...dekha..kismat hume phir se mila dhi...
geet smiled when she understood her words...
savithri: mujhe yakeen nahi horaha hey ki aap hi woh painter hey...maan aapko koi taqleef nahi diya na
geet lowered her head...when she asked about maan...thinking about her bitter experience with him...
as savithri knew very well about maan and his anger...she understood that maan yelled at geet...she touched geet's head...geet raised her head and looked at savithri...
savithri: maan ko thoda gussa zyada hey..lekin aadmi dil se achcha hey...mujhe achcha se patha hey ki...zaroor rasthe mein woh aapko pareshan kiya hoga...uskeliye mein aapse maafi mangtha hu...
when geet understood what she was saying...she shook her head in denial and held savithri's hands...
geet: madam..aap bade hey..plz...aisa math kijiye...aapke pothe ne..mujhe koi pareshan nahi kiya...dubara aise baath math kijiye...
savithri smiled...and got impressed with geet's politeness...
savithri: teek hey beta..aap aram karlo...hum aapse se subah baath karenge...mein suraj se khana bhijwathi hu..khalijiye ga...
geet nodded...as she understood what savithri said...by lip reading
geet : madam...woh paintings ke baare mein...
savithri: kal baath karenge...aur haan aapko yeh chot kaisa laga...
geet was looking at her lips carefully...not even blinking her eye for a second...
geet: woh...jab mein chal raha tha...kaanch guss gayi thi...
savithri: dhyaan se chala kijiye beta...achcha mein chalthi hu..ab...aur kal doctor mujhe check up karne keliye aayega..mein unse kehvadunga..ki ek TT injection aapko dene keliye...
geet nodded...and said "thanks"
savithri: achacha mein chalthi hu...
said these words savithri stood up and started to leave... suddenly she stopped and turned back...
savithri: beta...mein tho bhul hi gaya..."aapka naam kya hey?"
geet by now got accustomed to her way of talking...she understood what she savithri was asking...she replied with a smile..."geet"
savithri smiled...and left the room...saying.."goodnight"
geet thanked god for saving her today and for giving her a shelter under a nice person like savithri devi...
to be continued...
