OS Love knows no BOUNDS New Story Pg 34 - Page 11

Part 3

The next day Brij takes some goons to kill Maan, but they didn't know where he was staying. They looked for him in every hotel, every inn, but he was no where.

When Brij comes back in the evening, geet hears him say to darji that he couldnt find Maan anywhere. Geet takes a sigh of relief. But Brij also says that tomorrow he will definitely find him. That made Geet again restless. She trusts Maan but she also know her brother.

She was very worried, so she calls Maan.

Maan: Yes my queen?

Geet: Maan, where are you?

Maan can sense tension in Geet's voice.

Maan: What happened Geet?

Geet tells him everything. When she's finished, Maan says without bothered.

Maan: Bas! itni si baat?! Geet, what did I tell you yesterday? That you dont worry about anything OK! I can take care of myself.

Geet: But Maan...

She tries to reason but he cuts her in between

Maan: Geet, I know Brij's each and every move. I know he was looking for me today. And even if he keep on looking for me for the rest of his life, he wouldnt be able to find me, unless I want him to!! If I wanted Geet, I could've finished this chase today, but I didn't do it because I gave a time of 2 days to Darji. I won't do anything in these 2 days. But after 2 days, they'll know the consequences of not listening to Maan Singh khurana.

Geet gets a bit scared and said

Geet: Aap kya karne wale ho?

Maan: Just wait and watch Geet.

Geet: Maan, aap aisa-vaisa kuch mat karna please!

Maan: Hey relax sweetheart. I'm not gonna kill your family. But I can't promise that they won't beg for death!!

Geet gets scared with his words.

Geet: Kya???!!!!

Maan: Relax Geet, I'm just joking! Tumhein in sab baaton ki fikar karne ki koi zaroorat nahin hai. You just take care of yourself ok.

Geet: I love you Maan.

Maan: I love you more Geet. Ab chalo, jaldi se meri goodnight kiss de do, mujhe neend aa rahi hai.

Geet (faking doubt): Itni jaldi aapko neend aa rahi hai? Kiyun? Un churail models ke saath sapne mein date pe jaane ka plan hai?

She said teasingly.

Maan: Geet, ab thode din to reh gaye hain meri aazaadi ke. Shadi ke baad kahaan tum mujhe kisi aur ki taraf aankh utha ke dekhne dogi!

Geet: Aap kehna chahte hain ke main aapko kaid kar ke rakhoongi!!??

Maan(faking happiness): Nahin rakhogi? Thankyou Babaji! That means I will be free to dream about any girl even after marriage.

Geet(getting jealous): Ji nahin!! I didnt meant that!

Maan (enjoying himself): So what did you meant Geet?

Geet: Agar aapne shadi ke baad ya shadi se pehle, kabhi bhi kisi aur ladki ka sapna bhi dekha na, to mujhse bura koi nahin hoga, main bata rahi hoon aapko Maan!!

Maan (Teasingly): Wo to tumse bura vaise bhi koi nahin hai Geet!

Geet (surprised): Kya!! Main buri hoon? Fine! Then no need to talk to me!! Goodnight!!!

Maan: Geet, listen... listen...Geet...

But Geet hangs up.

Maan tries to call her but she doesnt pick up. So Maan sends a text.

TEXT

I'm sorry Jaan. You know I was just joking! Meri mishti se meetha is duniya mein koi aur ho sakta hai bhala!! I love you Geet. Please talk to me jaan, or you know I won't be able to sleep!

PS: I'm still waiting for my goodnight kiss.

Geet reads the msg and smiles.

Doesnt he know that she can never be mad at him!!

Geet calls him and pretends to be angry for some time but then gave up. They talked for hours on the phone and didn't know when both of them dozed off while talking.

Next day also went without any serious event. Brij again went to look for Maan but Geet had a strange faith on him now. She trusts him that Brij wont be able to find him. When Brij came back in the evening, she realised she wasnt wrong. He wasnt able to find Maan.

Geet doesnt know that should she be happy because tomorrow Maan's gonna do something that will lead to their marriage or should she be sad because she doesnt know what Maan was gonna do. From his talks, it definitely looked like he was gonna do something real bad to her family.

At night, she again sleeped while talking to Maan. She tried everything to make him tell her his plan, but he always said that she neednt worry about it...

Next day Geet woke up with the noise outside. She quickly grabs her dupatta and goes out.

As she reached outside, she saw police holding Brij with handcuffs on his hands and Maan standing close by with his arms crossed around his chest and smirking evilly.

Brij yelled to maan "Oye!! Ye mat samajhna ke tu Bach jayega!! Main bohat jaldi wapis aaoonga aur wo din Teri zindagi ka aakhiri din hoga!!!" [don't think that u r saved. I will come back very soon n that day wud b the last day of ur life]

Maan smirks and then says with seriousness "Afsos ke wo din kabhi nahin aayega brij handa!!! Bahar aane ke sapne dekhna chhod do! Kiyunki ab sari zindagi tumhe jail ki salaakhon ke peechhe guzarni hai" and he smirks again evilly. [alas that day will never come! Stop dreaming of coming out of jail, bcoz for the rest of ur life u hv to spend behind the bars]

Inspector takes brij with them. Geet's mom runs after them pleading them to leave him...

Geet was so shocked at what was happening that she couldn't react!! Maan looks at Geet lovingly and says "Kaisi ho jaan?" [how r u love?]

Geet comes out of shock and says "Maan what is all this?" she couldn't believe that Maan was doing something like this... She loves him a lot but she can't see her family in trouble either.

Maan didn't reply to her and says to darji "So darji, aapko andaza to ho hi gaya hoga ke main kya kuch kar sakta hoon! To kya ab bhi aapko is shadi se aitraaz hai?" [u must hv an idea now of what I can do! So r u still against this marriage?]

Darji says angrily "Tujhe kya lagta hai? Ke tu jeet gaya? Brij ko main bohat jald chhuda loonga!!! Aur tujh jaise insaan ke saath rishta to kya, Sunderlal handa dosti bhi karni apni beiziti samajhta hai!! Ab nikal ja hamare ghar se!!!" he points towards the door. [what do u think, that u hv won today? I'll get out brij very soon. And with a person like u, I consider it my insult to do even friendship let alone relationship! now get out of our house]

But Maan just smirks and sits down on the chair with his one leg on top of the other and says "Sorry darji! Par shayad bohat galatfehmian hai aapko!! Brij jail se tab tak bahar nahin aa sakta, jab tak Maan Singh Khurana na chaahe!! Aap shayad bhool rahe hain, ke Brij par attempt to murder ke charges hain!!! Aur rahi baat is ghar se nikal jaane ki?! To ye ghar ab aapka nahin hai!!! Aap shayad bhool rahe hain ke aapne ye ghar girvi rakha hua tha, jo maine double paise dekar kal hi khareed liya!!"

Darji was looking at Maan unbelievably so he said "You don't believe me?" and he calls "Adi!"

Adi comes running towards them with a file. Maan says to Adi "Adi, show him the house papers!"

Darji sees the house papers and looks angrily at maan.

"Teri itni himmat--"

Maan stands up and says "Maine to aapko warn kia tha Darji, ab aapne meri warning ko seriously nahin liya, to ismein main kya kar sakta hoon!!"

Darji shouts while looking at Maan "Rano!!! Pack the luggage! We are leaving from here!!!"

Everybody is shocked by what daarji said. Geet felt tears coming to her eyes. She couldn't believe that this is what he calls handling everything??!!! He is ruining everything! Darji will never get ready for their marriage like this!!!

Within half an hour they were all ready to leave Handa Haveli. When they were about to go, Maan declares "Geet kahin nahin jayegi!!"

Geet looks at him shocked!!! What is he upto now???

Darji says angrily "Tu hota koun hai Geet ko rokne wala?? Geet hamare saath hi jayegi!"

Maan smirks and says "I'm her husband!!!"

Everybody looks at him shocked including Geet.

"Oye!!! Teri himmat kaise hui..," darji said angrily but Maan didn't let him finish and said "Before saying anything, just have a look at these pictures first!!!" he throws an envelope on the table.

Darji picks it up and looks at it.

Geet saw his expressions changing to immense anger. She comes close to darji to have a look on the pictures. And as she looked at them, her mouth fell open in shock as those were her wedding pictures with Maan which BTW has never happened!!!

Darji looks at her with anger filled eyes n she shakes her head slightly in a no while tears making way in her eyes.. Everything was getting out of her control! Maan was so hell bent upon ruining everything.. She was scared from her darjis anger...

She tried to clear it before darji could say anything to her "Darji, these photographs are not real!!! Meri koi shaadi nahin hui hai daarji!!!! Please believe me!!" she begged as the tears started flowing on her cheeks.

Geet was gonna say something more when she heard Maan saying "Geet is telling the truth darji! We are not married. Yet. These photographs are fake!! I made them with trick photography."

Everybody looked at him confused and shocked. Now Geet seriously couldn't understand what he is up to!!!

He continues "But darji, you know these photographs are fake, I know these photographs are fake" and he smirks evilly "but the world doesn't know that these photographs are fake!! So darji it's your decision! If you won't get ready for this marriage, I'll give these pictures in the media!! And after that whatever will happen to your family honour, don't blame me for that!! I hope you are aware how fast the news spread in the media!!! But agar aap is shadi ke liye maan jaate hain, to sab kuch theek ho sakta hai!! Brij will come out of jail, you'll get your house back, and most importantly, aapki izzat par daag lagne se bach jayega!!! Once these pictures come out in media, then who'll marry Geet??? Aap logon ka muh kabhi band nahin kar payenge!!! Just think about it darji!!!" he looks satisfactorily at the expressions of darji.. He could tell that he's giving up...

Darji says "Hamein sochne ke liye thoda sa waqt chahiye.."

Maan says with a sweet smile "Sure darji!! You have all the time in the world!!" but then says seriously "Aaj shaam tak ka waqt hai aapke paas!!" and he goes towards Geet who was still speechless "See I told you I'll take care of everything!!! See you in the evening sweetheart!" and before Geet can comprehend his actions, he planted a kiss on her cheek in front of everyone and leaves.

Geet was so shocked that she couldn't say anything. The shock soon turned into embarrassment. She can't believe he kissed her in front of her family. She wanted to bury herself in the ground due to shame and embarrassment.

She goes to her room cursing him under her breath. She says to herself "Hey Babaji! What would everyone be thinking about me!!" she touches her cheek where maan has kissed few minutes ago and said angrily "Ye Maan bhi na!! Hameshaa apne mann ki hi karte hain! I can't believe that police caught Brij Veerji!! And he bought our house!!! Aur blackmail karke shadi... Nahin nahin babaji! This is not right!!! Mujhe Maan se baat karni hogi!!!"

And she calls Maan

Maan: Hi sweetheart

Geet: Maan don't u sweetheart me! What was all this?

She said angrily.

Maan(faking innocence): Ab maine kya kiya hai geet?

Geet: Zyada bhole ban-ne ki koshish mat kijiye maan! Aap bohat achhi tarah se jante hain aapne kya kia hai!! Maan aap aisa kiyu kar rahe hain??(she almost pleads n then says) Aapne Brij Veerji ko jail bhijwa diya!! And you even bought our house!! Why maan?? What do you think, that everything will be fine if you marry me by blackmailing Darji?? Maan shayad Darji hamari shadi ke liye raazi bhi ho jayen, par woh majboori mein maanenge, marzi se nahin!!! Maan, you have ruined everything!!!" she said frustratingly.

She pauses for Maan to say something, but when he doesn't say anything she says

Geet: Ab kuch bol kiyu nahin rahe hain?

Maan: Tum bolne ka mauka dogi tabhi to kuch bolunga na! Geet you know ur family better than me!! They would have never agreed to our marriage just like that!! So I had to do something!!"

Geet: But Brij veerji--?

Maan: Geet, Brij is not that innocent as you think him to be!! He tried to kill Adi when he couldn't get his hands on me!!!

Geet was shocked to hear this.

Geet: What???!!!!

Maan: Yes Geet, if I haven't reached there on time, he would've killed Adi...

Geet was numb with shock. She didn't know how to react..

Maan continued "Geet, I already told you, don't get into all this.. I'll take care of everything. You just take care of my heart, and rest leave it to me."

He pauses and tells Geet "Geet, I'll talk to you later.. Dadima is on the other line.. I'll call you after talking to her.. Ok??"

Geet: Ok

He was about to hang up when she says suddenly

Geet: Maan!

Maan: Bolo Geet?

Geet shies a little and says "I love you!"

Maan smiles and says "I love you too Geet!!"

And he hangs up to receive dadima's call...

As she hang up the phone, she was shocked as someone snatched the phone from her hands. She looked up and saw darji glaring at her angrily with her phone in his hand.

He holds Geet's hair roughly and says "Saare fasaad ki jad tu hai!!!" [u r the cause of everything]

Geet screams in pain.

Darji says "Aaj main tera kissa hi khatam kar dunga!!!" he slaps Geet on her face and she falls down on the floor. [today I'm gonna finish ur story]

Geet's mom comes running towards them and comes inbetween darji and geet while begging darji to leave geet.

Darji says "Get her ready.. I'm gonna marry her with my friend's son today only!!! We are leaving right now!!!"

Shock and fear washes through Geet. Before she could come back to her senses, darji leaves from the room.

Geet looks at her mom shocked and says with tears in her eyes "Mom, I won't marry anybody except Maan!!!"

Rano says worried "Geet, tu kiyu apni aur Maan ki zindagi khatre mein daal rahi hai??!! Tu apne darji ko jaanti hai na? Wo teri baat kabhi nahi sunenge!!! Unke liye unka faisla patthar ki lakeer hota hai!!! Maan ne hamare ghar aa kar unke ahenkaar ko lalkaara hai!!! Wo ye kabhi bardasht nahi karenge!!! Geet please is shadi ke liye maan ja, warna wo tere saath saath maan ko bhi jaan se maar dalenge!!!"

Geet shakes her head while crying and runs out. As she reached the door, she saw darji outside and she retreats her steps in fear.

She falls on the bed while hiding her face in the pillow crying.

Rano strokes her head and says pleadingly "Geet, bhool ja use! Teri shadi uske saath kabhi nahin ho sakti!!!"

Geet gets up and wipes her tears and says determinedly "Nahin maa, aap galat hain!! Shadi to meri sirf Maan se hi hogi!! Jaayiye aur keh dijiye darji se; ke wo chahe kuch bhi kar lein, lekin meri shadi sirf Maan se hogi!!! Maan ne mujhse vada kiya hai, aur main jaanti hoon, ke chahe duniya idhar ki udhar ho jaaye, Maan apni Geet se kiya hua vada zaroor nibhayenge!!" she said confidently.

Rano smiles sadly at her confidence in her love and leaves out without saying anything.

Maan tries to call Geet a lot of times, but every time operator tells him that the phone is switched off. He feels something is wrong and calls Adi to check if everything is OK!! He has left Adi to keep an eye on Geet's house.

Adi tells Maan that darji and Geet has gone out almost half an hour ago. He tells him that his men tried to follow them, but lost them somewhere on their way.

Maan throws the phone away in anger and says to himself determinedly "Darji dua kijiye ke aapne koi galat kadam na utha liya ho, otherwise even I wouldn't be able to save you from Maan Singh Khurana's anger!!!"

Geet is dressed up in bridal outfit. She doesn't know whose house she is in and she doesn't care. Some girls are talking to her and teasing her about marriage playfully but she's not listening to them because they don't hold any importance in her life. She is not even scared because she knows that her Maan would be here for her..

She knows that these stupid people are just fooling themselves when her destiny is already written with Maan. She smiles at her thought.

The ladies takes geet outside and makes her sit on the mandap...

She didn't even looked at her 'so-called' groom for once. He is nobody to her...

The pundit keeps on uttering the mantras... Now Geet started feeling anxious... Her eyes glued to the door...

As the pundit keep on uttering the mantras, her restlessness is increasing. She thinks if Maan really knows about all this or not? What if he gets late?? What if he doesn't come??? The fear has started to engulf her heart with the remote possibility of her getting married to this stranger.

She looks at the guy sitting next to her with disgust and anger. He is wearing a sehra and his face is not visible. Now she is having an internal war of getting up from the mandap and refusing to marry this guy...

The pundit asks them to stand up for the pheras.

Geet gets up with determination and says "Ye shadi nahin ho sakti!!"

Everybody looks at her shocked. She looks around to find a space from where she can run away. But before she can take a step out of the mandap, she feels a grip on her hand and looks towards the source.

Her so-called groom was holding her hand firmly. She tries to free herself from his hold, but he just tightens the hold and starts taking pheres while almost dragging Geet with him.

She tries to wriggle in his hold "Chhodo mujhe... I said leave me!!!"

But it looks like her words didn't reach his ears and he kept on dragging her with him.

"If my Maan comes to know about this, he will kill you!!" she tries to threaten him, but still no response.

"Please let me go!!! I love someone else!!! What will you get from this marriage when I don't even love you??!!" she pleads him but still he keeps on taking pheras mechanically.

And the pundit declares that the pheras have completed and asks them to sit down.

He makes her sit beside him forcefully while Geet's heart is sinking. She doesn't even know who he is or how he looks, and she is getting married to him!!!!!

She closes her eyes and prays silently for some miracle to happen and Maan to come for her rescue.

The pundit asks the groom to put sindoor to bride's forehead and the guy does as told. Geet did not open her eyes for all this time and then the pundit asks to tie mangalsutra in the bride's neck.

Geet feels him putting the mangalsutra around her neck and she felt the touch familiar. She snaps her eyes open and was shocked!!!!

Her groom has taken off his sehra from his face and was looking at her with a smile.

Geet's eyes widened with shock as she saw Maan sitting in front of her!!!

She blinked twice, thrice before the sight got registered in her mind and a smile came on her lips and she hugged him tightly in front of everybody.

Maan says teasingly "What happened wifey? Abhi abhi to tum keh rahi thi, ke tum mujhse pyaar nahin karti ho aur tumhara Maan mujhe jaan se maar dalega? Shadi hote hi apne Maan ko bhool gayi kya??!!" he said mischievously.

Geet hits him on his chest faking anger but didn't break the hug.

Maan says playfully "Geet, sab dekh rahe hain! I know achcha to mujhe bhi lag raha hai, but don't you think we should wait till our SR!!"

Geet breaks the hug feeling a bit embarrassed. She says "But how did this--"

Maan puts a finger on her lips and says "Shhh... Abhi nahin!! Pehle rasmein poori kar lein?"

And they did all the rituals of marriage.

After marriage, the pundit asks them to take the blessings of the elders.

Geet saw darji and rono standing in the corner. They go towards them to take their blessings.

Darji gave his blessings a bit reluctantly but rano was happy for her daughter's happiness.

And then they seek blessings of Dadima, who was very happy to get Geet as her grand daughter-in-law.

After all the post marriage rituals, they went for Delhi.
