chapter-29
Geet was utterly shocked, first after so many months her life was given back to her and she hadn't even felt him properly that he moved from her so far away that he is ready to kill her...!!
Nothing was making sense, but right now only thing which her heart was feeling was the immense happiness of seeing maan alive in front of her eyes. Her prayers and patience finally bore fruits, but she didn't know whether she'll be able to rejoice this happiness or not...!!
Maan, yeh...what are you doing...??...she asked not knowing what to say
CHUP...BILKUL CHUP...!!...he yelled hearing her...don't you dare take my name from your filthy mouth...!!
She was stunned to see this side of maan, so angry on her. Maan's hands were shaking while he held the gun right infront of her, but the next moment lowered it saying...
Even if I want I can't harm you...there was helplessness reflecing from his statement while geet was still trying to fathom the situation
Why geet...??...why...??...there was a deep pain in his voice...why did you do this to me...??
But, what have I done...??...and what happened to you, yeh bandage...??...she asked moving towards him, but he stopped her showing his hand
Don't...don't come near me...!!...he hissed...don't try to show your fake concern for me...!!
She shake her head in negative while tears roll down her cheeks. She was craving to feel him and here he was not willing to even be in her vicinity.
I loved you so much geet, gave you everything. Then why did you do this...??...where did I lacked in fulfilling your needs, huh...??...he cried pouring his heart out...sab kuch tumhara hi toh tha, PHIR KYUN...??...suddenly his voice was terribly loud echoing in the silence of the mountains.
You didn't even think twice before harming dadima, huh geet...??...that lady showered you with all her love and affection and you...maan was blurting out not letting geet speak
But maan dadi...
SHUT UP...JUST SHUT THE HELL UP...he yelled at her again
I might have forgiven you for what you did to me...he said and then added in a very deathly tone...but you shouldn't have snatched KM from dadima...!!
Running a frustrated hand through his hair he continued...I still can't believe you actually tried to kill me just for the property and when that was not enough you threw dadima out of KM...he looked at her making the most disgusting face...how could you geet...??...and then as if recalling something he added...but when you can kill your own father what else can be expected...!!
Geet felt a bomb exploded in her ears as maan's words pierced not only her tymphanum, but her soul too...!!...She was totally agasht with her eyes wider from shock and heart broken with maan's venomous words. Here she was suffering day and night for the loss of her loved ones and he is accusing her of murdering her papaji...!!
You didn't even cared for anything. She is old and I was not with her and still you left her to die out there on street...!!
Tears were flowing from geet's eyes like anything while her heart was aching as if it would burst any moment while maan continued to show his anger and insult her. She wished she was dead before listening of all this. Her maan was accusing her of such henious deeds, how can he think of her like this...??...didn't he trust her even a bit...??...She was already weak from the unfortunate happenings from the past and his acrid words worked s nails in the coffin, but the devastated look on maan's face was killing her within. Even if he abhor her, doesnot wants to see her face ever again, loath her mere presence and regrets their love, she can not see him in pain and that too when she can alleviate his sufferings...!!
Wiping her tears from the back of her hand and gathering some courage, she moved towards him and said...
I know where dadi is...geet said in a low voice
You know...??...he frowned, but again the momentarily vanished rage recur in his eyes and he said...of course who else would know, after all you keep everyone's record to keep danger at bay...!!
Maan instantly rushed to her holding her tightly from her shoulders...
Where is dadi...??...he asked not realizing his grip was hurting geet
She bit her lower lip suppressing the pain while maan paid no heed to her pain and shook her
Answer me dammit, where is dadi...??...his eyes were spitting fire and geet knew its no use asking or explaining anything to him right now. She controlled herself and replied...
She's at dadimasi's place...!!
Maan left her and turned around in a jiffy to leave, but as he reached som distance he stopped and said without turning back...
Geet, this is a warning for you, never cross my path ever again. You were a bane in my life and I don't want to see you ever again...with that he stormed off leaving a completely shattered geet behind...!!
********************************************************
Maan reached the house and knocked dieing to see his dadima and hoping her to be alright. The door opened and savitri stood rooted at her place seeing her grandson standing right infront of her eyes...alive...!!
Tears of happiness and an incredulous expression clouded her eyes and her hand automatically rose to touch his face...!!
While caressing his face softly with her hand she heard him say...Dadima...and thats when reality struck her, it was not her dream and her grandson was actually there. Her happiness seemed no bound and she engulfed him in a tight hug...!!
Maan, I can't believe it. You are here, you are alive...!!...she said crying bitterly
Dadima, I am fine and I am here, now please stop crying or else you'll get sick...he controlled his own tears seeing dadi's broken state and tried to sooth her pain
What is this dadima...??...I came after so long and instead of giving your beautiful smile you are crying...he said to lighten her mood
Dadima smiled through her tears on maan's statement and hugged him again. Separating from him she said...
Aap andar aayie maan, its very cold out there...and both made their way inside
Dadimasi also came out from her room and was shocked to see maan. They were really happy that maan was alive and infront of them and suddenly dadi noticed the bandage on maan's forehead...
Arey maan, aapko yeh chot kaise lagi...??...she asked caressing his head
Maan grabbed dadi's hand in his and smiled...dadi its nothing, got slightly injured in that accident...!!
Its god's mercy that you are alright...dadimasi said sighing
Yes didi and not just that, but also geet's trust in babaji and her prayers, she'll be so happy...dadi added with a shine in her eyes while maan was shocked and insatntly retorted...
Dadi, how can you even talk about geet like this now after what she has done to you...??...he got up and moved towards the window and said looking out...she was a blunder that I committed and now I don't want to think or talk about her...there was bitterness in his voice
Dadi rushed to maan not fathoming his sudden bitterness towards geet...
Maan what are you saying...??...aap geet ke bare mein aisi karvi baatein kyun kar rahen hain...??
What else do you expect me to say dadi, when that girl destroyed our lives just for the sake of khurana property...maan hissed loud...!!
Dadi turned maan around swiftly making him face her and said...
This is wrong maan, how can you think so low of geet when its only bcoz of her that I am standing alive infront of you, when its only bcoz of her undying trust in your love that we all were holding on a thin thread of hope that you'll come back...!!...dadi said holding his shoulders...hum sab mein sirf ek wohi toh thi jise bharosa tha ki aap wapis aayenge, jo din raat isi umeed mein jee rahi thi ki unka maan unhe wapis mil jayega, aur aap...!!
Maan was stunned at dadi's relevations...but ronak and th...that news...he fumbled not knowing what to believe
Don't talk about that back-stabber, maan...dadi said with utter disgust...we trusted them so much and they...
Dadi what, whats happening...??...and how did you came here...??...I tried to contact everyone, but none of you were reachable...he expressed his helplessness from so long
Dadi please tell me, what happened after my accident...??...he pleaded
Dadi gave a dishearten look and went back to the terrible time when troubles knocked at their door one after another. She told maan how devastated they were when they came to know about his accident and when police confirmed his death everything was ruined, and that dreadful day when ronak showed his true colours their life went into jeopardy...!!
FLASHBACK...
Adi I have send geet to office, hope it will be of some help...dadi told adi
That is good dadima...adi smiled and said...she'll be busy with office and would not get time to remember any of the painful memories and moreover office needs her badly...!!
Yes, you are right. When the board will know that co-owner of KC is back they will not think of selling the shares...!!
Dadima, I should leave, geet must have reached KC...adi said picking up his files. He was about to leave when his cell rang. Looking at the caller he instantly picked up the call...
Hello geet...I am just reaching KC...!!
Adi sir, please listen to me carefully...she said with a panic striken voice
Geet, what happened...??...why do you sound so worried...??...Is everything fine...??...adi asked sensing the panic in her voice
Nothing is fine adi sir, woh...woh ronak...she choked with tears as their conversation echoed in her mind once again
Ronak sir...??...adi always doubted ronak, but there was more than business problem tension in geet's voice...geet, first relax and then tell me everything ...!!
Geet took a deep breath and told him about the conversation that she overheard. Adi was shocked to the core listening to her, maan's death not being an accident, but a well planned murder was enough to boil his blood. But as geet narrated their plan to harm dadima, he insatntly replied...
Don't worry geet, I am at KM only and I'll take care of dadi until you come. Now, be quick and get out their sight immediately...adi instructed her
I am coming adi sir, but you do one thing take dadima alongwith you to your home and book our tickets for shimla for the very next train as he may trace us in flight...!!
Ok, I'll wait for you...saying so he disconnected the call
Dadi knew something very horrifying has happened from adi's expression while he was on phone and she asked to confirm her doubts...
Adi what happened...??...geet ka phone tha, kya keh rahin thi woh...??
Dadima I'll tell you everything,but first we need to move out from here. He told dadi to pack her and geet's clothes and other necessary items as they are leavng for shimla. Sensing the gravity of situation dadi did as told and they left for adi's home.
Adi booked their tickets and they had to leave at 6 in the morning( okay now don't tell me that there is no train at this time for shimla from delhi as this is all created stuff n info ). It was 7 in the evening now and there was no sign of geet. Adi and dadima was very tensed as he had last talked to her at 11 and they didn't even know where geet was. Adi tried her cell, but it was out of reach. He was about to leave in search of geet when his cell rang. He looked at the caller and at once received the call...
Hello geet, where are you...??...adi said with a concern voice
I am sorry adi sir, I had to finish some work thats why I stayed for longer and I couldn't inform you as my cell didn't had any signal, but right now I have more important thing to say...she replied in a hushed voice
Geet what happened...??...why are you whispering and what important thing...??...he asked not able to hold back his tension
Adi sir please, I'll answer all your questions right now just listen to me, have you booked the tickets...??
Yes, the train is at 6 in the morning...he replied
Ok, if I didn't reach there till 5 don't wait for me and take dadi along with you and make sure she safely reaches dadimasi's house...she said in one go
But geet...
No adi sir, just promise me you'll do that...she pleaded
Adi rubbed his temple and replied in affirmative...ok...!!
As soon as he said that the call got disconnected.
Hello, geet...??...geet are you there...??...he repeatedly called her, but received no response
Sighing he looked at dadi and shook his head in negative...!!
****************************************************
FLASHBACK ENDS...
Maan felt his world crumbled infront of his eyes. This much happened behind his back, geet went through so much and here instead of soothing away her pain and sufferings he wounded her all the more with his acrimonious accusation. But he needs to know everything before taking any step so controlling himself he asked her...
But dadi what happened after that...??...when did geet returned...??
Dadi pressed her lips while tears crept up her eyes...
Dadi...??...maan knew somethig more bad was coming his way, but he has to be strong and urged dadi to continue...
She came back at 11pm in a very...a very wrecked condition...dadi gulped the knot that clogged her throat and said...she was fully wet and was in a pathetic condition...
FLASHBACK...
Geet beta...??...dadi was shocked to see a badly shattered geet at the door...where were you and what happened to you...??
Wrapped in an old blanket from head to toe, she was still badly shivering and her dress was fully covered with the blanket. She just looked at them and said...
Dadima, don't worry, I am fine...her voice was very heavy and choked...I just need to change...!!
The room is on your left and your luggage is there only, go and change...dadi said stepping aside letting her in
After geet changed dadi went inside to check on her and found her binning her badly torned kurti. Dadi came closer to her and whispered keeping her hand on geet's shoulder...
Geet...!!
Geet instantly turned startled on seeing dadi right behind her and dropped the dress in the dustbin closing it.
Geet what has happened to your dress and how did you got these bruises...dadi said pointing at her neck, hands and foreheard which were bruised and now were almost blue.
Its nothing dadima, I had a small accident...she lied and dadi knew she was lying, but seeing her in such a vulnerable state she didn't probed further
Later they left for shimla in the morning.
FLASHBACK ENDS...
Maan curled his hand into fist as the realization dawned upon him of what might have happened with geet. His eyes went red as blood rose its speed in the capillaries while his veins bulged out prominently in his hand muscles...!!
He sweared to make the bas***ds pay till their last breath for inflicting such atrocities on his family and ronak is surely going to live a nightmare for laying his filthy hands on his geet...!!
But soon his anger turned to worry and guilt as his own words rang in his ears which he brutally poured on geet. Rubbing his face with his palms he let out a cry...
Oh god...!!...what have I done...??...he said realising his mistake...how could I be so cruel to geet...??
Maan, what do you mean...??...dadi asked frowning
I have committed a huge crime dadi. I suspected my love...he said as drops of tears made their way down his cheeks
Have you already met geet...??...dadi asked getting alarmed...what did you do...??
He instantly took to his foot and walked towards the door...dadi, I need to find geet before it gets too late...he said and stomed out of the house.
