PART 4

Later Nandini calls Maan and gives him the good news...Nandiniji..I just finished with a meeting in an office near your school. Shall I come and see you now?

Sure

Maan reaches the school

Maan Bete...there is a good news for you

I had called Komal's mom and spoke to her...made her understand about yours as well as Komal's situation. ...and she has understood it very well and agreed to it. Initially, she misunderstood you...but learning the fact that you dropped back Komal to the school and raised the issue of security carelessness...above all, you took the permission from the headmistress i.e ME, for meeting komal...which proved to her that your intentions are clear.

Nandiniji...you have made my day...thanks a lot

Anytime my dear...but let me tell you more about Komal's mom...just for your information.

It seems Komal's dad passed away when she was just less than a week old...from then till now Komal's mom tried her best not to make her daughter miss her papa...but still...kids are kids...when Komal got to see other children with their Papa..she also felt a need of her Papa. Komal's mom has understood the fact that whatever best she can do for her daughter, she cannot bring Komal's papa back and doesn't want to tell a Harsh NO to Komal for meeting a person in whom she finds her "father figure".

Now, coming to the point... Komal's Mom said YES to you as she purely intends of not snatching away this little happiness from her daughter as well as YOU.

Maan has been listening quietly whatever Nandiniji was telling...why destiny chooses few people to face all the sufferings of the world...like me, even Komal's mom has seen a lot in her life.

Maan bete...Are you fine? what are you thinking?

Oh..Ji Nandiniji...I was thinking how much of pain Komal and her mom has gone thro in their life.

Haan bete...she has really gone thro so much pain in her life...that's why I guess she could understand YOUR Pain and your point of view that easily and agreed for yours and Komal's regular meeting.

That's really nice of her...I really dont know how to thank her for this.

Nandiniji smiles at him...I am sure you get that opportunity soon.

And you can meet Komal from tomorrow...with the following conditions...

You can meet her during the break time...i.e 11:30 AM to 12:00 PM...This schedule is till the summer camp is over and this timing is likely to change when once Komal starts with her regular schooling which will begin in next 10-15 days. you can meet her all the days...but choice is yours as you need to concentrate on your business. You can meet her only within the school premises...let's start from here...later on I will allow you to take Komal out of School depending upon Komal's Mom's comfort level. I hope you understand these rules before you start meeting Komal.

Sure Nandiniji...I agree to your rules 100% with a smile on his face.

Bete...Keep smiling like this...You really look cute with this smile on your face.

Maan continues to smile and takes her leave.

At Indian Paints...

Geet is quite thinking about what she discussed with Nandiniji...She's really guilty for not able to fulfil the gap of Komal's Papa...and she is missing Dev very badly at this point of time. Dev...how could you leave me and Komal like this...see what all we both are going thro without you.

Mamma...

Yes beta

Aaj Papa nahin aayen...she makes a baby face

Geet hugs her and tears escapes from her eyes which she immediately wipes.

Zaroori kaam aagaya hoga...kal aajayenge. (Must have got some important task...he'll come tomorrow)

Mamma...aap ro kyon rahi ho? (why are you crying?)

Hey..noting dear...just a dust particle went into my eyes that's it.

She hugs Komal once again and cries silently and wipes her tears instantly.

Komal bete...finish with your lunch soon and then go to sleep for some time.

Ok Mamma

Komal goes off to sleep in her usual place within Geet's office cabin room

Geet gets a call from Yash

Geet...did you manage to meet the Headmistress?

Yah yash...In fact, she was the one who called me first.

What?

Geet explains whatever followed

Oh Geet...I really dont know what to comment...

You told YES without thinking twice...you should have taken some time

Yash...I didnt see anything wrong this person meeting Komal...He really doesn't possess any bad intentions...he gave the same complaint to the Headmistress regarding the security and secondly, I appreciate his gentleness of taking the headmistress permission before continuing to meet Komal.

Well Geet...I know you and you always take wise decisions...its just that I am little concerned for you this time.

Dont worry Yash...The headmistress has asked me to be rest assured

Anyways...I believe all is well that ends well...Catch you sometime later...bye

Bye

KM...

Maan was in best of his mindset... This was the happiest day that he got to see after 3-4 years of depression. This happiness is clearly visible in Maan's face.

Arre Bhai...Aap Aagaye? This is a usual happening when Annie eagerly waits for her brother till the time he enters the home

Maan hugs her with a smile

Arre Maan Bete...Kya baat hain?...Aaj aap bohuth khush nazar aarahe hain! (What is it? You seem to be very happy today)

Daadi hugs Maan...Bete...eise hi muskurathe rahiye...yeh muskurahat dekhne keliye yeh aanken bechain rehthi hain (Keep smiling like this...I am always to curious to see this smile on your face)

Haan Bhai...What's up? Oh...let me guess...I think Vicky bhaiya would have called you and informed you... You are happy that Vicky is coming back soon after completing his studies...Am I correct?

Hmm...Haan Annie

He doesn't want anyone to know the true reason for behind his happiness

Annie...Give him some time to fresh up

Daadima, Annie...Will join you people at the dinner table in next hour.

Sure bhai...take your time

Maan gets into his room...He gets into a serious thought about what ever happened in that school today...About What Nandiniji told about Komal and her mom...He again feels bad for them... Anyways...he wants to tell THANKS to Komal's Mom for her decision. He strolls for a while but unable to decide on anything...Finally, he gets an idea of buying her a Greeting

I have given a Greeting Card only to Neha...How can I again give it to someone else? He again thinks for a while...Well...the purpose of giving it is different this time...I will give her a THANK YOU Greeting card...that's final.

He finishes with his shower and joins Daadi and Annie who are waiting for him at the dinner table.

Next day...

Sharp at 11:30 PM...Komal just finishes with what her Mamma had packed in her tiffin box.

Komal is worried...Will I be able to meet my Paapa again? Was it a dream that I met him?

That's when the attender comes to her...Komal...Someone is here to meet you...the attender takes her to the play area and Komal is surprised with what she gets to see

PAAPA...PAAPA...

She instantly hugs him and Maan grabs her in his arms and kiss on her cheek.

She kisses him back

PAAPA...Main Aap se bohut Naraaz hoon

Kyon Kya hua?

She gets down immediately

Aap mujse kal milne nahin aaye

Maan kneels down to reach her level of height.

Oh Baby...I had lot of work...I have a big office to handle all alone

She is still not convinced...She goes and sits on the chair under the tree in the play area...Maan sits next to her.

Baby...Are you still angry with me?

She is showing a fake anger...still trying to look at him from a corner of her eyes...

I got something for you...Well, you are angry so I'll take it back to my office

He acts as if he is about to leave...she holds his hand with her tiny hand and smiles at him😊

Hmm...yeh lijiye...and gives her a box full of chocolates

WOW...Chocolates...

Aaan Haan...I will give it to you...but you have to do two things for me...
