chapter-28
Geet struggled to get out of the grip of the goons who were dragging her inside a house. She looked around, still wriggling, to find some help, but the place was in the outskirts of delhi with only the house in the area and a river flowing behind it. She screamed and kicked to be set free, but nothing helped...
Let me go...she tried to persuade her kidnappers...where are you taking me...??...leave me...!!
However may she try, they simply pulled her along and finally pushed her in a room and locked it from outside...!!
She fell hard on the floor with their push, but soon got up and rushed towards the door as she saw the men closing the door. Banging hard on the door, she begged to be let go, pleaded for help, but no one came to rescue her. Tired of her incessant struggling she leaned on the door and fall on the ground with a thump, tears rolling down her cheeks draining her of all energy. She simply closed her eyes and whispered...Maan...!!
*********************************************************
Maan stirred and winced with an excruciating pain that crept through his whole body. He felt someone was beckoning him for help, need him urgently, but try as he may, he couldn't move a single part of his body as if he was totally paralized...!!
His eyelids were extremely heavy not allowing him to open his eyes. Soon he felt someone beside him caressing his forehead trying to sooth his pain. He was still in a semi-conscious state, but could feel mild movements around him.
Looks like he is gaining conscious...he heard someone saying
How are you feeling...??...he heard the same man ask him, but all he could utter was...Geet...!!
******************************************************
She instantly opened her eyes as she felt her call being answered. Anew hope enlighted her eyes and she rose up to her feet and scanned the room for some help and thats when she heard the click of the door knob...!!
She turned around swiftly and her expression changed from surprise to nervousness to fear and finally to anger seeing the man she loath the most in the world...!!
If only looks could kill, ronak would have been ashes by now, such fire was radiating from geet's eyes.
Hey beautiful, hope you like my farm house...ronak smirked entering the room and locked the door behind
********************************************************
Two days later...
In the darkness of dawn, geet stepped out from the train compartment. A sting like piercing wind hit her skin through the pores of her shawl, but it hardly affected her for the wounds on her heart were far more painful...!!
She looked around and found the same feeling seeped through which she felt long back when she arrived shimla for the first time. She controlled the tears that were threatening to spill as past memories pierced her her soul just like the chilly winds. But she quickly composed herself and turned around to face the door of the compartment...!!
She helped dadi to ascend down while adi carried their luggage outside. They silently walked through the foggy morning, without making much noise. They got into a taxy and reached a house in the main town.
Dadi came out and ring the door bell while geet and adi stood behind her waiting for someone to open the door...!!
Oh, Savitri, come inside...!!...an old lady said opening the door
Savitri entered the house alongwith geet and adi. As she came inside, dadimasi hugged her, crying bitterly...
Yeh sab kya ho gaya...??...maan...!!...she sobbed on dadi's shoulders while adi and geet looked sympathetically and savitri tried to relax her even after being in the same emotional vulnerability...!!
Don't cry didi, everything will be fine...she consoled her when her own heart was burning in pain
Both of you please control yourselves...geet interrupted seeing them in the pitiable state...its not good for your health...!!
Seeing geet putting up a strong face for them, they controlled themselves and settled down. After sometime dadimasi showed geet and dadi their respective rooms while adi asked for permission to leave...
Geet, dadima...he said...I should leave now...!!
Geet came forward...
Adi sir, thank you very much for everything...she genuinely expressed her gratitude
Please geet, there is no need to thank me. I consider you all as family...he honestly replied and left giving her a small smile
Soon they got accustomed to their new surrouding. Geet joined as a teacher in a school and emersed herself in work. She had just two aims in her life now, taking care of dadi and waiting for the return of her maan...!!
Plz click the link fo the song...
Bheegi bheegi si hai raatein
bheegi bheegi yaadein
bheegi bheegi baatein
bheegi bheegi aankhon mein kaisi nami hai...
Gazing intently at the heavy down pour outside she smiled ruefully, sitting in the balcony, remembering the beautiful time she spent with maan in this very place...!!
She forgot to smile, forgot to live...with her soul so far away from her everything became lifeless for her. For the sake of dadi she pretended to be happy as to see dadima stressed out bcoz of her was the last thing she wanted.
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha
She usually spend her nights working over something and when she was free, the flashback of her ever so cherised memories clouded her...
The happy moments brought haapy tears in her eyes while the sadness never left...whatever may be tears were her only companion now...!!...but despite of all the memories nothing seem to provide her any solace. The void in her life seemed too deep to be filled...!!
sapno ka saaya palkon pe aaya
pal mein hansaya pal mein rulaya
phir bhi ye kaisi kami hai
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha
As she closed her eyes letting the pearls roll down her cheeks...somewhere in a far off place, maan with the help of sticks was trying to walk. The first step he took ahead caused an unbearable pain in his whole body, but ignoring it he moved and covered the set target. His pain was totally overshadowed by his need to be with his geet. He had to reach her soon...!!
naa jaane koi...kaisi hai yeh zindagaani zindagaani...
humari adhuri kahaani
naa jaane koi...kaisi hai yeh zindagaani zindagaani...
humari adhuri kahaani
Days turned to months and with each passing second geet had only one hope and that is to see her maan infront of her someday...
Sleep evaded her long back which was now replaced by an emptiness in her eyes reflecting the absence of her soul. Her only reason to live was dadima, KC and the ending wait for maan...!!
She cried all night over her ill-fate, her zeopardised life and the her lost love...!!
aadhi aadhi jaagi...aadhi aadhi soyi
aankhen yeh teri toh lagta hai royi
lekar ke naam humara
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha
Stumbling badly as he tried to walk without the stick, maan finally hit the ground hard, but that didn't daunt his courage a bit and he got up with more confidence and regained his walking sessions...!!
His heart was craving for geet and after that dark night he was very apprehensive about the well-being of his close ones. God has played a cruel gamble on his life, but he will overcome every obstacle to reach his love as his life was meaningless without her...!!
rutha rutha rab...chhuta chhuta sab
tutt tutta sab toota toota dil tere bina ab
kaise ho jeena ganwara
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha
In the morning dadima came to geet who was sleeping over the sofa with her laptop open and files scattered all over the table. Dadi bend on geet to wake her up, but before she could proceed her eyes fell over a small frame which geet was holding close to her heart. She slowly released the frame and turned it around to find the picture of maan...!!
Dadi glanced a very sympathising look at geet and placed the picture on the side table. Caressing her hair softly she faught back her tears and kissed her forehead lightly and went back to her room...!!
In the hut maan too was being treated by the old man who showered a fatherly affection on him. He kept looking at his chain which geet has presented to him...
Beta, why do you always keep staring at the locket...??...the old man asked while changing his bandage
Maan looked at the man and answered in a sad but determined tone...
It reminds me that someone is waiting for me and I have to get to her soon...very soon...!!
naa jaane koi...kaisi hai yeh zindagaani zindagaani...
humari adhuri kahaani
naa jaane koi...kaisi hai yeh zindagaani zindagaani...
humari adhuri kahaani
Their usual schedule continued and four months passed like this, but geet's never ending wait was still there...
Bheegi bheegi si hai raatein
bheegi bheegi yaadein
bheegi bheegi baatein
bheegi bheegi aankhon mein kaisi nami hai...
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha aa ha
aa ha ha ha
Maan was finally fully cured. He thanked the old man with all his gratitude and presented him with a gold ring as a gift for his tender care. Maan took his blessings and went to the near by city to get a cab to delhi...!!
He reached ambala and stopped at a hotel to eat something. He sell one of his ring and with the money he first satisfied his hunger and relaxed for a while. He tried to call dadi, geet and adi a lot of times, but all the numbers were not existing anymore. This made his apprehensive feelings stronger. Now, he was sure that something is very wrong and he at once got up to leave the hotel when a news that was flashing on the t.v in the hotel caught his attention...!!
His eyes widened and forehead wrinkled as the news sinked in his brain...
naa jaane koi...kaisi hai yeh zindagaani zindagaani...
humari adhuri kahaani
naa jaane koi...naa jaane koii...
humari adhuri kahaani
He searched for a near by cafe and googled KC and the happenings in the past few months that was flashing on the screen cracked the floor beneath his feet...!!
How can this be possible...??...No...this is not true...!!...he shook his head denying every fact infront of his eyes and his last conversation with the man who came to chandigarh passed through his brain like a current. The name which was always on his lips all the while nce again slipped from his lips, but this time a tinge of pain and rage accompanied it...!!
naa jaane koi...kaisi hai yeh zindagaani zindagaani...
humari adhuri kahaani
na na na na na na...na na na na naaa aa...
ye ye...ye ye...ye ye ye ye yeee...
humari adhuri kahaani...
*******************************************************
One week later...
The cold breeze of simla were indicating the harshness of the weather...even the only barrier b/w her n those gust,her shawl,was abandoned on the ground as she let those erratic winds touch her soft delicate skin providing the same sensation which she felt on that day...
She spread her arms as if inviting those memories to enter her soul which she cherised the most...the one single moment which changed her life completely...
Standing on the edge of the same hill on the anniversary of their first meeting,was like reliving that magical moment...the difference being...that time the atmosphere was serene...soothing...n today its barbaric...that day her heart was full of hope n joy despite her problems...but today...her heart is sinking every second.crying for the lone treasure of her life...HER Maan...which was snatched away brutally...
She closed her eyes to feel him...to gather strength to live to fulfill what she promised him...though breaking from inside...trying to maintain herself...hold back...when she heard HIM call her...GEET...!!!!!!!
****************************************************
He was wandering through the city...the beautiful simla they say...the same place where his life took a U turn...the city which holds a unique place in his heart...the place which once was his paradise...the place whose air reminds him of HER...is now the place which he despise the most only bcoz of HER...
Not in his wierdest dream he ever thought he would repent his visit to simla an year back where he met her for the first time but now he curse every sec of that period he spent here...
Willingly or unwillingly...his legs brought him back here to the very hill where met her...seeing the place his heart ached with pain...pain which was much much more than those physical pain he suffered last few months...hatred engulfed him...or was it the anger for not being able to hate her...
Suddenly his eyes caught a sight which stopped his heart beat...his mind gave up rationality...he was dreading this very moment ever since he came to know of her betrayal...n there she was standing at the same place where he met her first...n only one word escaped his mouth...GEET...!!!!!!
Her blood froze in her veins as she heard his voice...can it be him!!!!!!...she turned with a jerk with raised hopes of seeing him again after so long...getting him back in her life...
As geet turned the moss beneath her footwear made her loose balance n she slipped...but before she could go any further down the hill two strong hand stablised her n pulled her back to engulf her in the safest place...his arms...
Time stood still as the two souls meet after the long n unbearable separation...maan lost his senses as she touched him again after so long n he his her in his arms as always...
She could not believe it...god was being so generous to her...returning her soulmate...her maan...she sobbed, she poured her heart out without speaking a word showing her pain in every single tear she shed...but her happiness didnot last long as she was pushed away by a jerk...!!!!!!
Maan was holding her as if clinging to his life...all his anger all his pain...everything just vanished the moment he took her in his arms to save her...as if her single touch was giving him a soothing effect...every moment he spent with her flashed like lightening before his eyes...her smile...her laughter...her love...her betrayal...n that did it...as soon as the last memory came to him he jerked her away...!!!!!
Geet could not fathom wat exactly happened...as her eyes met maan's she was shocked with wat she saw...the love though still there was alongwith other emotions of pain,anger n hatred...maan lost his cool as he realised he hugged her...gave in to her false charm again...n then he took out the gun from his jacket n targetted it towards her...!!!!!!!!!!!
