Ek Anokhi Grahapravesh...

Part - 1

Geet Handa happens to be a student in Delhi...

And she is exploring the metro city with her friend...

And let's join her journey which is quite unique...

She is in pursuit of something and let's find out what's in store for her...

Geet and her friend Pinky are out in the posh area of Delhi...

Pinky: Geet, tum pagal ho gayi ho kya?

Geet: tum itna kyun darthi ho?

Pinky: hum aaise kaise kissi ke ghar mein gussakthe?

Geet: pinky, hum chori toh nahi karne jaarahe hai

Pinky: par ye hummare area nahi hai, yahan har ghar mein security hotha hai, woh har kissi ko andar jaane nahi dega

Geet: hum college student hai humme koi shak kaise kar saktha?

Pinky: humme koi aur jagah doondhna chahiye

Geet: tum thode dher chup kar, mein sab sambaloongi

Geet stops in front bungalow...

She looks at it fondly...

Geet: tumne aaise ghar ko pehle kabhi dekha hai kya?

Pinky: par Geet, mujhe nahi lagtha humme yahan koi aarthi utharkke swagat karega

Geet looks at the name board...

"KHURANA MANSION"

It looks very new...

Koi naya naya aaya hai yahan...

Par ye ghar toh bahut purana lagtha hai...

Isililiye Geet ko ye bahut pasand hai...

She likes the coloniel architecture and buildings built in that period or built in that style...jaise ki ye ghar...

She loves their elegance and their unique grandeur...

She goes and introduces herself to the security...

But he is not ready to allow her in...

Maan Singh Khurana ke ghar pe koi ladhki kaise jaasakthi?

He just refuses...Maan ko patha chalega toh usska naukri chale jayega...

Naukri toh ek aur miljayega, par MSK ke gusse ko kaun samna kar saktha?

Pinky: meinne pehle hi kaha tha? Ab chalo, chaltein hai

Geet is not ready to leave...

She keeps waiting still fondly staring the house...

Just then Nakul comes out of KM...

He is off to the market...

Geet follows him and starts a conversation...

She bribes him and he accepts her deal...

He asks her to come on Sunday...

Maan is going on a business trip this weekend...

Geet gladly agrees and leaves...

She eagerly waits for Sunday...

She is ready waiting for Pinky...

Geet: Pinky, itne dher kyun lagayi?

Pinky: mein babaji se dua karkke aathi hoon ki aaj hummare special rakhsha karien

Geet: kya?

Pinky: Geet, tumme zaroor wahan jaana hai kya? tumne dekha nahi woh security kaise apne malik se dar raha tttha?

Geet: hare Pinky, woh aaj ghar pe nahi hoga

Pinky: Geet, mujhe kuch teek nahi lagtha

Geet: mein hoon na?

They go to KM...

Naakul bahar hi wait kar raha tha...

Geet: dekha, kaise humme swagat karne bahar hi aagaya? 5000 rupiyon ka kamaal dekho?

Pinky: tumne issko 5000 dhiya hai? mujhe dethi toh ek hafte grand traet dethi, hummare happy singh ki dabhe mein

Geet: Pinky, ye lo tera chips, ab toh chup kar apne faltu batein

Nakul: madam, aap abhji andar nahi jaasakthe

Geet: kyun?

Nakul: Maan sir wapas aarahe hai

Geet: kab?

Nakul: abhi do gante mein

Geet: do gante haina? Mein toh aadhe gante bhi nahi loongi

Nakul: sorry madam, mein kuch nahi kar saktha

Geet: kya? tumne 5000 liya tha na?

Nakul: woh mein aapko wapas kar dhoonga

Geet: chalo dedo

Nakul hesitates...

Geet ko patha hai ki woh karj kar chukka hoga...

Geet: lao mere paise

Nakukl: madam, woh mein aapko agle hafte wapas kardhoonga

Geet: mujhe abhi chahiye, warna mein tummare Maan sir se paise lekhe jaathi hoon

Geet frightens him...

Nakul: madam, aap aasie nahi kar sakthe

Geet: toh tum mujhe andar jaane do, mein zyada waqt nahi loongi

Pinky: Geet, aaise jaana zaroori hai kya?

Geet: tummara chips katam ho gaya hai kya?

Nakul: teek hai madam, par sirf 15 minute

Geet: teek hai teek hai

Nakul: aap jayiye

Pinky: tum jao, mein yahi intrezaar karthi hoon

Geet: teek hai

Geet enters KM...

She is so excited...

She runs in and stops in the hall...

She looks at the chandiliar...

Its so beautiful...

She looks at the furniture...

They are all very old master pieces with intrigue designs...

Geet sits on the armchair and starts to rake...

She feels like a kid in the cradle...

Its so comforting...she doesn't want to leave...

But she has got to see the whole place...

She runs up the stairs...

She finds a room at one corner...

She stops looking at it...

She si very curious to find what's behind those doors...

She steps forward...

Just then Pinky calls...

Geet: Pinky, mujhe kyun disturb karthe ho?

Pinky: Geet, jaldhi aao, woh aagaye

Geet: kaun?

Pinky: hare, woh ghar ka malik

Geet: kya? itne jaldhi?

Pinky: Geet, ye sawaal karne ka waqt nahi hai, jaldhi karo, humme nikhakna hai yahan se

Geet is very disappointed...

She just wants to peep in that room...

Something pulls her towards it...

But she is helpless...

She turns back and starts walking...

She hears foot steps...

She hides behind the screens...

Someone passes by...

It's Maan singh khurana...

Geet can't take his eyes off him...

He is a well built young man...

Walking swiftly...with a lot of attitude...

Geet expected some grand old man...strict and scary...

When she heard that someone lives here all alone, she thought that it would be a grandpa who had lost his wife and is abandoned by his children...

But this man is very young, then where is his wife? Where are the children?...

Why is he alone? Maybe his wife left him?

As he heads to his room, Geet keeps looking at him...

She then gets out and runs down...

Maan hears her footsteps and comes out to see who it is...

He finds a girl running out of his house...

Maan is shocked...He catches her and tries to stop her...

Maan is awe struck by her beuty...

he looks into her eyes for he is not sure if she is real...

but she is scared and tries to shout for help...'

Maan closes her mouth and stares her..."chup...bilkul chup...

she pushes him hard and escapes...she never turns back and disappears.

He chases her but Geet had already left...

He asks his security but he says that there was no one and he didn't see anyone...

Maan is puzzled...maybe it was his imagination...

Maybe it is the effect of living alone in such a big house...

Maan has just moved in...

Maybe he is not acquainted with this place...

Or is this place haunted?

No no, he doesn't belive in such stories...

Moreover that girl looked divine and not otherwise...

Maan wonders what's wrong with him, his mind has gone crazy...

Maybe Dadi was right...it's not fun living alone in this vast world...

Maybe a jungle campimg would help...

Part - 2

Pinky: Geet, kya yaar? Hum bal bal bach gaye

Geet is lost in her thoughts...

She is still thinking about the house...

She is disappointed that she couldn't see the full place...

Geet is not satisfied...beech mein ye Dhust Danav kahan se tapak gaya?

She just needed a few more minutes, why the hell did he return home so early?

It's Sunday, and he is at home?

Maybe his plans for the day were cancelled? Else who would stay at home on Sundays, maybe next week she would be lucky enough to visit in peace, no more inruders, Geet has happily forgot that she is the intruder here...

Poor girl! How would she know that Maan has no friends to hang out with on Sundays and if not for any business meets he would be all alone at KM...you should say that MSK is the ghost haunting this place right now...but Geet Handa is not agraid of any bhooth or for tht matter any Dhust Danav...haina?

And is she has wishes to visit KM then no one could stop her...not even Mr.DD Khurana...

Geet doesn't know his name yet...

She wants to see that room...

She returns to KM that following Sunday...

This time the security will not take any risk...

Even Nakul is not ready to let her in...

Geet waits out and she pelts some stones on the windows...

One glass breaks and the security goes in to check...

Geet uses this opurtunity and enters in...

She finds the car missing and is confident that Maan is not inside...

Maan has gone to meet a client...

She gets in and climbs up to reach that room...

Actually it's Maan's room...

She finds it very dull and boring...

Geet is disappomted...

Itne achche kamre ko kaise sajna chahiye?

This man has got a very bad taste...

That's why he is all alone...who will like such a boring personality...

Iski zindagi kaise berangi hai? no color, no fun? Haina?

Geet neeche jaathi...

She explores every looke and corner of the house...

The other places are fine...

She goes to the backyard and strolls in the garden...

Its looks barren except for the few cactus and wild plants...

Ye kaise bageeza hai? ek bhi phool nahi, unkke mehak nahi?

Geet looks at the time...

It's been more than an hour since she came in...

She must return now...

She stealthily walks out of the garden and enters the hall...

She slowly looks at the kitchen...

Nakul and the others are busy preparing lunch...

Ek aadmi ke liye itne naukar? Aur ghar ka haal dekho?

Ye kya karenge? Jab malik nahi chahatha toh ye bhi kuch nahi kar sakthe, haina?

Khaash yahan koi aurat hothi, kehthe haina? Aurat ghar ki Lakshmi hai, wahi ek makaan ko ghar banathi, aur iss MSK ko dekho? Ek sudar ghar ko hi makhaan banadhi, nahi, issko bhooth banglow hi banadhi, kudh bhooth banke...isse toh hummare bhoothnath kitne smart hai, Big B, unko dekhke bache nahi darthe, par issko zaroor bhoothland mein entry miljayega, ye toh bachon ko kya, mere jaise bechari 18 saal ki bolibali ladhki ko bhi darartha hai, Monster Maan...ye bhi achcha hai, haina babaji?

Geet aaise sochkke peeche jaathi...

She hits something and falls...

It's Maan standing there...Monsteeerrr...

Geet almost faints...she turns pale and is so scared...

He catches her...She looks at him...Maan is shocked...

Ye toh wahi ladhkki hai...Phir se mein sapna dekh raha hoon kya?

Ye toh sapnon ki Rajkumari hi lagthi...

She is so sweet...Maan ki dimag mein ganti bhajthi...

Get out of your dream Mr.Khurana, don't be a fool, this is not a dream, this is real, and you are falling in love, falling for a stupid girl...What? Maan, tummare bahon mein ek ladhki?

Maan pushes her away...

Geet is so scared...

Maan: tum yahan chori karne aayi haina?

Geet feels insulted...how dare he calls me a thief? It has hurt her pride, she had to make it clear that she is not a thief...if she runs away, then his statement would become true...nahi...

Geet: what? I'm not a thief

Maan: phir yahan kya kar rahi thi?

Geet: mein...yahan, nai aap yahan kya kar rahe ho?

Maan stares her...: what?

Geet: nahi, woh...mein

Maan: itna kyun darthi ho? zaroor tum chori karne hi aaye ho, Nakul, security ko bhulao

Geet somehow escapes from him that day...

She was so scared that she even saw his angry face in her nightmares...

She would never enter KM when that MSK is there, don't mistake, it's not Maan Singh Khurana, it's Monster Singh Khurana...

Achcha naam haina? Suits him better, thinks Geet Handa!

She keeps thinking how to escape that MSK and fulfill her wishes...

She can't run away from her dreams, her project and her career, it's her life, she can't let some MSK to deter her goals, she had to find some solution, how to bypass that Monster...

Then she has to know his schedule first and plan her visit, so that there won't be any disturbance and she can finish her job peacefully...

Then she remembers Nakul, he is very nice, else who would serve that MSK, even for double pay, and Nakul could help her...

She then goes to KM very early,that following Sunday and waits for Nakul at the corner of the street, Nakul comes out to get milk and is shocked to see Geet back, at this time...she is insane, and is going to get him into trouble for sure...

Nakul tries to escape pretending that he had not seen her, but Geet wouldn't spare him...

Geet: Nakul bhaiya

Nakul is touched...he stops and has been trapped...

Nakul: tum? Itne subhe subhe?

Geet: woh, mein aap ka hi intrezaar kar rahi thi

Nakul: kya? mujhe bahut sare kaam hai

Geet: ek minute, pls pls, bas ek bar meri madat karo, phir mein yahan kabhi nahi aaoongi, ye mere liye bahut important hai, aur ye mere colloge ke project ke liye hi hai, peechle hafte jo meinne photographa liye na, aur unko istemal karkke meinne project shuruvaad karli, sab ko ye bahut pasand aaya aur mere master bhi kehthe ki unko bhi ye bahut hi achcha idea lagtha, mujhe bas 2 gante andar jaana ki permission chahiye

Nakul: tum Maan sir se baat kyun nahi karthi?

Geet: nahi nahi, mujhe uss MSK se bahut dar lagtha hai, aapko bhi lagega haina?

eakul: haan

Geet: dekha, uss monster ne sabke jeena muskil kardhi

Nakul is shocked...monster? Maan sir ko monster kehthi hai?

For a moment Nakul thought very apt...then Maan's angry face comes to his mind...

He immediately apologises even in his imagination...

Nakul: nahi nahi, mein aaise nahi sochtha, tum chale jao

Nakul runs and Geet chases him...

Geet: bhaiya bhaiya

Nakul had to help her...he tells her that Maan is going out at 10 am and return only n the evening...

Geet is happy, she tells him that she will come at 10.30 am...

Then she rerurns at 10.30 and she finds Maan's car missing...

Then she bribes the security and gets in...

Nakul asks her to finish her job ASAP and leave before getting him into trouble...

She thanks him and assures that she will leave before Monster's return...

But unfortunately Maan returns as he had forgot some file...

He comes to take it back from his room...

And Geet is exploring his room...

How could she bring it back to life, make it colorful and add some fun to that place and everything...

Maan is surprised to see her back, that too in his room...

Geet is unaware and she is busy in her job...

Maan is mersmerised by her innocent beauty, he keeps staring her for a while...

His heart yearns for a minute that she shpuld be some pari form dreamland and how he wishes to see her often, mabe in his dreams...there is no harm, it's only a dream...haina? Maan starts his self talk...ek ladhki ko dekhkke Maan ka kya haal ho gaya?

He is puzzled how could she enter his room, and this is the third time he is seeing her at KM...

She must be living here only, in this very house, as a soul? for Maan is seeing her often, and he is sure it's not his imagination...last time he had caught her and he clould still feel her soft silky skin...

She is real, and she is here, infront of him, but what is she doing in his room?

Maan keeps dreaming , but he is not someone to buy ghost stories...maybe she is trying to fool him...she is here and this time she won't escape...

Part -3

Maan gets back to his senses...this girl is really turning him mad...

And also awakening his feelings that he had put to sleep once for all, but this girl comes back to remind him that he is a human afterall and he has feelings too...

Maan has been running away from love, affection , happiness , sorrow, smiles, tears , he totallt hates beibg human, for his philosophy has always been expectations lead to disappointment, emotions are the free entry pass to pain, which Maan has already experienced and is not ready to enter that gate again, now he has succeeded in freeing himself from emotions thus keeping away from pain, that's what he thinks but still human nature is to love that pain though you know it's worthless, no pain no gain, Maanji...

But this girl has gatecrashed, she is an uninvited guest, bin bhulayae mehmaan, and life is full of surprises whether you like them or hate them, whether you expect them or not God always keeps the options open...no matter how hard you try you can't change your fate, your destiny...

Maan thinks..."Ye ladhki toh mujhe pagal kardegi"

Maan: tum?

Maan shouts angrily...

Geet turns back and panics...

ye monster itne jaldhi lautke aagaya?

Geet: Monster Singh Khurana. Aap?

Maan: what?

Geet: Maan Singh Khuranaji, aap yahan?

Maan: ye mera room hai? aur tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?

Geet: woh mein, byeee

Geet tires to leave...

Maan catches hold of her hand...

Geet is scared to look back...

Maan keeps staring Geet and her nautanki...

He is amused that she is so sensitive and is a real drama queen...

But why is she coming here again and again? What is she up to?

Is she looking for something to steal...

Poor girl! She has come to the wrong address, Maan doesn't have a heart that she could steal...

Maan: Nakul, Chandu, kahan mar gaye ho sab? Security, jaldhi police ko bhuao

Geet: police?

Geet pulls off her hand and starts running...

Maan chases her and the servants are shocked...

Maan sir kissi ladhki ke saath chor police khel rahe hai?

They don't know whether to help him catch her or just watch him play?

Maan gets angry seeing them stand there like statues and watching them...

Maan: yahan kya picture chal raha hai? kadhe kadhe kya dekthe ho? pakdo usse

Everyone runs in a different direction and it's chaos at KM...

Maan is frustrated...how could a stupid girl challenge MSK?

Maan waits at a corner and keeps watching them...

Geet runs here and there as if she is blind...

She is about to hit Maan who is standing in the middle like a statue, when Maan catches her...

She looses her balance and Maan pulls her and ctaches her by her waist...

Geet is startled by the touch and she holds him tight to avoid faling ...

Maan could also feel the difference that her touch could induce within him...

Maneet freeze and so do the servants...

Maan then realizes his mistake and steps back...

Geet is still caught in a trance and she keeps staring Maan...

Maan couldn't face her eyes, and he takes his usual love shield, his anger...

Maan: tum andar kaise aayi?

Geet: mein , mein

Geet stumbles, she is stammering

Nakul is shivering...this is what he was afraid of...

He prays to god Geet doesn't utter his name infront of Monster Singh Khurana, nahi Maan sir

Maan: tum bar bar mere ghar mein kya kar rahi ho? aur tumme andar kissne aane diya?

Maan knows she can't get in easily evreytime without the other's help...

Geet keeps looking around for help and finds Nakul...trying to hide himself behind Chandu...

Geet's eyes widen seeing him and she screams...

Geet: Nakul bhaiya

Nakul ko heart attack ho jayega...Geet looks at Nakul and winks...

Nakul is shocked...his worst nightmare has come true...

Maan stares Nakul...

Geet: aap toh mujhe jaanthe haina?

Nakul stands there speechless...

Maan: Nakul, ye kya bol rahi hai?

Maan chilatha...

Nakul: Maan sir, ye...ye...

Nakul wonders what to say to escape from Maan...he curses Geet for using him as a shield...

Geet feels sorry for Nakul, she shouldn't have mentioned his name...he only helped her ...

Geet : woh , meinne Nakul bhaya se permission liya tha

Maan: kya?

Maan turns towards Geet and his anger doubles...

Geet: aapse milne ki?

Maan is shocked...she came to meet me?

This is even more dangerous...Maan, just get her out of the house immediately...

This is it...Maan erupts...like a volcano...

He catches hold of her hand and drags her out...

Geet: hare, chodo mujhe, mere haath, koi toh bachao, sab ke sab aaise kya dekhhte ho, mein aapko nahi chodoongi, mein bhi police ke paas jaaongi, Nakul bhaiya, aap hi eyewitness ho

Nakul hopes to run away immediately never to return...

Maan couldn't hear her bak bak anymore...

He closes her mouth..."chup...bilkul chup..."

He stares and Geet stares back...maneet eyelock...

Nakul: Maan sir

Nakul feels pity for Geet, he is the one who asked her to come now, how would he know that Maan will return immediately...he knows he has lost his job, so he thinks he should atleast help Geet...

Maan: tum log kya kar rahe ho? mere ghar mein mere hothe hue bhi ye achanak andar kaise aayi? Security

Maan shouts...

He comes running...

Maan: tum kya bahar beitkke sorahe ho?

Security: nahi sab

Maan: phir ye kaise andar aayi?

Geet: usski koi galthi nahi hai, ye meri galthi hi hai, mujhe laga ki aap mujhe andar aane nahi dethe toh kya hoga? Issiliye mein chup chupkke andar aagayi

Maan: tumme patha hai ki tumne trespassing kiya hai

Geet: what? Mein yahan koi chori karne nahi aayi hoon, aapko mujhpe barosa nahi hai kya? aap chahe toh mujhe check kar sakthe ho

Maan: what?

Geet removes her over coat and shows that it's empty...

She tries to show that her pant pockets are also empty...

Maan is shocked...for a while he is awestruck and keeps staring her...but then he realizes that this is getting out of his control...he had to do something else he would definitely become mad...

He stops her...

Maan: usski koi zarooart nahi hai, isse pehenlo

Geet wears her coat...and guess what? Maan is much more relieved...no more torture...

Geet: mein bas aapse hi milne aayi thi, haina Nakul bahiya?

Nakul thinks...ye bar bar mera naam kyun lethi? Mujhe aaj marwayegi kya?

Maan: mein ghar pe kissi ko nahi miltha,mujhse milna hai toh KC aao? Who bhi appointment lekhe, waise ab koi vacancy nahi hai

Geet: woh nahi, mujhe office mein koi kaam nahi hai

Maan is getting tensed...office mein nahi toh ghar pe kya kaam?

Maan: mein ghar pe kissi ladhki ko kaam pe nahi rakh saktha

Geet: kya? mein kya kaam wali bhai dikhthi hoon?

She is not here for a job, then why is she here? And what does she want from me? Maan gets nervous...

Maan: tum chori karne nahi aayi, kaam ke liye nahi aayi, phir tum kyun aayi ho?

Maan is scared ...looking at her age and her dreamy eyes Maan is confused...

Geet keeps looking at him, Maan doesn't want to look at her...

Geet opens her bag and searches something...

Maan is puzzled...what's it? Is she really mad? Is she looking for some weapon to attack? Like mirchi, pepper spray ...

Maan gets ready to defend himself...

Geet takes out her ID card...she gives it to him...

Maan looks at it carelessly...immediately he puts it on the table and it falls on the mat...

Geet gets very angry at this attitude...what's he thinking of himself?

She keeps staring at him...watching his moves carefully...

Maan thinks that she has come for donations...

Maan takes out his cheque book...

Geet is confused...she expects some respect...hana babaji?

She decides to tell her herself that she is not here for money or any other help...

Geet: mein ek college student hoon

Maan: meinne dekhliya, ab bathao, kitne rupiye chahiye

Geet gets angry...what the hell is wrong with him? First he thought she is a thief, now he thinks she is a beggar...

Geet snatches the cheque book and tries to throw it away...

Maan gets really pissed off...

He holds her hand and stops her...it hurts her a lot...

But she couldn't match him...Maan is way too strong for her...

Maan: pagal ho gayi ho kya?

Maan stares and Geet is not afraid...she won't let anyone insult her like that...

Geet: mein yahan koi bheek mangne nahi aayi hoo

Maan: teri ye himmat? Mere ghar pe aake mere baizzati karthi ho?

Geet: kya? aapne mera insult kiya hai, aapko toh mujhse maafi mangna chahiye, pehle kehthe ho mein chor hoon, ab bekari

Maan: tum toh...what nonsense? Security, get this girl out of my sight

Security comes running...

Geet: kabardar, koi mere paas nahi aayega

They just can't get near her...they look at Maan for help...

Geet's entry has created a sunami at KM...and bechara Maan pasgaya...

Kya Maan Geet se bach payega?

Part - 4

As Geet threatens the guards they are hesitating to catch her...

And Maan has already caught her and is holding her hand tight...

What wil they do now? It's up to Maan to hand her over to them which , Maan would never do...

Only Maan has all the rights when it comes to Geet...haina?

Maan stares them...

Geet shuru ho jaathi...

Geet: aap samajthe kya apne aapko? Aap jo bhi karthe ho sahi karthe ho? aapse koi galthi nahi hogi?

Geet starts listing his mistakes...

Geet: aap pehle apni galthi ko dekh nahi sakthe?

Maan: bas karo apni bakwaas

Geet: aap ek 18 saal ki masoom ladhki ke haath kaise pakad sakthe? Chodo merehaath, mujhe bahut dard ho raha hai? babaji, issko aap hi samjao

Geet looks around for support...everyone look at Maan as if he has done some crime...

Maan apne hi ghar pe apne hi naukaron ke samne gunegar bangaya...

Sab iss pagal ki nautangi ke wajhe se hi hua hai...Maan is frustrated...

He keeps staring everyone and they all bow their heads to escape his anger...

Now he turns towards Geet...he is still holding her hand...

Geet is staring his hand that's still holding her hand...

Maan realizes his mistake...he shouldn't have touched her...

What has happened to him? He never ever gets so close with any girl...he had not even looked at any girl like this ...and also he respects women and would not treat them so bad...

He has done this to defend himself from his own feelings that has been troubling him sisnce he met her for the first time...he has been trying hard to control them...

And is afraid that he would turn into this insane lover boy, which is the waosrt thing that could happen to him

Maan leaves her hand and steps back immediately...

Geet looks at her hand...it has turned red...

Geet shakes it as she is in pain...

Maan feels bad...he shouldn't have done that...

He keeps looking at her...he asks the securities to leave...

He stares the others and they also leave...

Maan: Nakul, first aid box lekhe aao

Nakul gets it...Maan takes the ointment and gives it to her...

Geet stares him...she santches it from him...and she applies it on her hand...

Maan wanted to do it himself but then she would start blaming him again...

Maan keeps looking at her and he is feeling guilty...

Geet knows that he is feeling sorry...but he should apologise, haina?

Geet: mein aapko maaf nahi karoongi

Maan: what?

Geet: jab tak aap maafi nahi maangthe mein aapko maaf nahi karoongi, samje aap?

Geet keeps her face serious...Maan likes her kiddish behavior...

Nakul smiles looking at Geet...so even Nakul is supporting her?

Geet: aap ne teek se mere ID ko dekha bhi nahi aur smajthe ki mein aapse madat mangne aayi hoon? Mujhe koi paise nahi chahiye

Maan then takes the ID card from the floor and finds out that she is doing her UG in architecture

Maan: so, you are an architect

Maan is interested as he is also a builder...

Maan smiles trying to cool her down...Nakul is surprised to see Maan smilng...

Geet is still expecting a sorry...

Geet : mujhe aapse koi baat nahi karni, thanks Nakul bhaiya

Geet turns towards Nakul...Nakul blinks...

Maan: tumme kya chahiye, tum yahan kyun aayi ho?

Geet: Nakul bhaiya, aap hi bathao

Nakul : Maan sir

Maan stares Nakul...Nakul tries to leave...

Geet: Nakul bhaiya, rukh jao

Maan asks him to staty...it's better to have a third person...else Maan is afraid he will commit another crime...according to her she is a victim...and Maan is some criminal...haina?

Maan had to apologize ... : woh...mujhse galthi ho gayi

Geet is not happy, she needs atleast a sorry...

She keeps looking at him eagerly...she almost forces a sorry out of his mouth...

Maan: sorry

Geet is happy...she grins...and that's it she forgives him...

Geet: aap mere madat kaorge?

Maan: haan

Geet: mujhe koi paisa nahi chahiye, mujhe na

Geet is still afraid...she pauses and gathers her strength to ask him permission...

What if he gets angry again and turns into DD...

Geet looks into his eyes...they have lost their intensity...she could see concern and care in those eyes for a change...she is convinced that he will definitely help her

Maan: bolo, tumme kya chahiye?

Geet: haan, mein ek project kar rahi hoon, aur aapke ghar ke architecture bahut purana aur khaas hai, miujhe issme thoda research karna hai, issiliye Nakul bhaiya mujhe thode photographs lene diye the, woh bhi aapke permission ke badh hi photos loongi, mein bas iss ghar ki khoobsurthi ko admire kar rahi thi

Nakul: ji sir, meinne bahar wait karne ko hi kaha tha, patha nahi kaise andar aagaye

Geet: agle bar Nakul bhaiya aap gate pe ek board lagwadhijiye, " beware of MSK, Mosnter at home", phir mein andar nahi aaoongi

Maan ye sab sun hi raha tha...

Maan had already heard her calling him Monster Singh Khurana...

Maan is impressed that she didn't blame Nakul or the security...she told the truth and saved them...or we mat say he is impressed by everything, her looks, her anger, her smile, her bravery...to start stripping...whatever...maybe Maan's evil mind thinking of getting to see her go futther some other day...

Maan: tum iss ghar ka photographs lena chahathe haina?

Geet: haan sir, pls pls, mein aapko disturb nahi karoongi, bas 10 minute, mein apna kaam katam karkke chale jaathi hoon

Maan: chandu, issko pure ghar dikao

Geet: thank you very much sir, aap Dhust Danav lagthe ho, par itn bhi Dhust nahi ho, sorry Mr.Maan Singh Khurana, mein ab aapko Monster Singh Khurana nahi kahoongi

She just utters those words in front of all the servants, and Maan liked that innocence though he didn't like that grin on his servant's faces...they too thought that he is a monster?

Maan apne barein mein kissiko bolthe hue pehle bar sun raha hai...

Woh bhi itne achche achche comments!...

Kisski himmat hai Maan ke muh ke samne aaise batein karne ki?

Koi MSK ke barein mein kaise bolega, Maan toh sirf business ke batein sunthe rehtha...

Woh bhi sirf formality ke liye ek toh baat sunega, Adi hi sare batein karletha...

Geet almost jumps over him and tries to hug him...

Maan steps back...

Maan: teek hai teek hai, agle bar aana hai toh sabko bathakke aao, iss tarah chup chupkke nahi, samji?

Geet is very happy...she starts her work...

Nakul and others are surprised...

Maan Singh Khurana kissi ladhki ko KM mein aane ka permission detha hai, woh bhi dubara aane ka bhi?

Even Maan doesn't know why he uttered those words...

Maan leaves...

Geet takes a few snaps and leaves...

The following Sunday Geet returns to KM hoping that this time she can spend a lot more time there if that DD is not hanging out there...

She hesitates at the gate when to her surprise the security runs to open the gates for her...

What a welcome?

Maan's words made all the difference...

She is always welcome here as Maan has given her specilal exception...

The other servants too respected her and were ready to help her...

She kept chatting with them and asked about the missing furnitures and vacant rooms...

They had no idea as it is like this only since they came here...

This place looks like an abandoned house except for the few most needed furniture and the servant's quarters...

Even Maan's room looked mostly empty...

Just for the bed and the study table there is not even a dressing table...

Maan is upstairs but he knows from her giggles and loud chatting that she is here...

Geet then takes another look at the house...

Maan can't wait more to see her...

He just wants to have a glance...he doesn't want her to know that he is here...

He is suspicious...why is she here?

Why is she so concerened about the missimg furnishings?

Wjy is she hooked to this place so much?

There sure is something more than her college project...

She is so sad whenever she looks at those empty spaces...

Maybe she knows about this place...

Maan finds something mysterious about this girl...

Who is this Geet Handa?

Maan needs to know the truth...

Part - 5

Maan runs after Geet...

Geet is not aware of it...

She thinks that this is a golden opportunity which she shoudn't miss...

She goes ahead with her mission...

Maan thinks that it's preplanned...

How would she know evryhting about this place...

Maan had no idea what's inside this place...

He is using only a part of it and is not interested about the rest of the place...

And this is only his temporaray residence...

He has other plans for this prime site...

Looking at Geet Maan gets suspicious...

She has already come here...

Just as Maan follows her with suspicion, he got his answers immediatedly...

This girl navigates with such ease that even Maan finds difficult to navigate as it's still confusing for him...he doesn't have the time or was not interested in this place till then...

Maan has not cared much about this place as this is only his temporary abode...

More over most of the servants still believe the ghost srories related to this place abd no one dares to get to the rear block which is said to be haunted...

Maan had gone there but didn't find anything interesting...

He kept it closed and never bothered about it...

Geet just went to the rear block and tried to open it...

She found it locked and goes and gets the keys from their hiding place...

Even Maan had no idea about it before the broker showed him the keys hanging in the hands of an old bronze statue...maan thought that it's just part of the statue...it's holding a sword which inturn is the key holder...the owners must have felt this as a safe place to hide the keys...

Why do anyone want to hide the keys...

There is nothing precious inside...it's looks like a guest house...

Only used when there were guests at the house...

But how did she know about all this?

This girl is hiding something from us, Maan keeps following her...

Geet turns back and makes sure no one is there...

She dusts the palce and is lookin so sad...

She even had tears in her eyes...

She found something in the adjacent shelf and hurried to take it...

She struggled to reach it and took a stool and stood on it to reach it...

In her anxiety she stepped on a corner and the stool fell off it's balance...

Geet too fell, but Maan was right behind her and he catched her...

Geet looked at him...Maan is not able to take his eyes off her...

She looks like an angel...maan keeps staring at her...

Geet: ohhh, aaap?

Geet is shocked...

Maan lets her down...he is very angry...

Maan: tummare himmat kaise hui mere ghar mein aaise chori chori gusne ki?

Geet: aap galat samajthe ho

Maan: tum yahan kya karhe aayi ho? sach sach bathao, aur tumme kaise patha hai ki chabhi kahan hai?

Geet has no answers...she keeps mum...

Maan: wahan kya hai? Hatto

Maan searches the shelf and finds out a photo frame...

It's covered with dust...

Maan: ye, tum isse dhoondh rahi thi?

Maan is even more shocked...

Geet snatches it from him, dusts it with her duppatta...and looks at the photo fondly...

Her eyes filled with tears...

Maan looks at the picture...

It's apicture of a couple, maybe the previous owners...

And who is this small girl...that girl has a striking resemblance with Geet...

Maan: sach sach bathao, tum kaun ho?

Geet points to that little girl on that picture...

Maan: ye tum ho?

Maan can't believe what he heard...

Geet: haan

Maan: toh ye tummara ghar hai?

Geet: nahi

Maan: what? Phir ye tummara tasveer kaisa ho saktha?

Geet: aapko yakheen nahi hotha?

Maan still can't believe her words...

Maan: nahi, tum inkke beti ho, tumme koi aur ne adopt kar liya hai kya?

Maan ko laga ki ye apne asli parents ko dhoondhkke yahan aayi hai...

Geet: nahi, ye mere mabaap nahi hai

Maan is even more confused...

Maan: ab tum bataoogi bhi ki yahan kya ho raha hai ya nahi

Maan shouts...

Geet: aapko itna gussa kyun aatha? Aap ko patha bhi hai ki ye kaun hai?

Maan: haan, lagtha hai ki yahi iss ghar ke malik hai

Geet: haan, ye meri mausi hai, Meera mausi

Maan: kya?

Geet: haan, ye hummara Meera mausi ka ghar hai

Maan: tumme patha hai ki ye kaise mar gayi?

Maan knows that this women commited suicide and that's why this place is believed to be haunted...

Geet: haan, inhonne aathmahathya karliya tha

Maan: toh tum sab kuch jaanthe ho?

Geet: kaise nahi jaanthi? Ye mera dusra ghar hai, ye mere mabaap jaise hi hai

Maan looks at her as if to ask why did her mausi commit suicide?

Maan: woh tummare mausaji, woh itna bhura the?

Maan has heard that this women died b'coz of her husband...

Geet gets angry...

Geet: aap kya jaanthe ho unkke barein mein? Aap na, unkke barein mein baat bhi mat karna, kahan aap aur kahan woh?

Maan: kya? Tum mere barein mein kya jaanthi?

Geet: aap na? duniya se sabse bade Dhust danav ho, dekha sab kaise aapse darthe hai? aur dekho aapne mere haath ko kaise pakda hai, chodo mujhe, mere haddiyan thodkke rahoge kya?

Maan realizes he is holding her tight...he thought that she would run away...

Geet: mein kahin nahi bhaagnewali aapke yahan chori karkke, samje aap?

Geet is very angry and blasts him...

He lets her off...

Geet looks at her hands...they have turned red...she is in pain...

She runs off...

Maan stays there for a few minutes and then he also returns locking it...

He keeps thinking about Geet the whole week and is waiting for her to return that Sunday...

He had that picture with him always and keeps staring at that little girl...

He wants to know more about her...

That girl looked so happy swinging in their arms...but this Geet is always looking sad...

She looks as if she has lost something and had come here in search of it...

What was she looking for? Did she get it?

Will she return to get it?

But she doesn't come that Sunday...

Maan is a little disappointed...

As he has gotten used to meeting her on Sundays he was eagerly anticipating her arrival...

And she is the only guest at KM... she also doesn't need any invitation...

Maan is not someone who would invite anyone home...

There is no one that Maan could invite...

That's strange...Maan has cut off his links with a few relatives back in their village after Dadi left...and they came for dadi's sake only...

That Sunday seemed to be a very long one...

Maan kept looking for the only guest and her absence disturbs him a lot...

That week doesn't go well for him...

He couldn't concentrate on his work at all...

Adi and the others really had a tough time handling DD at office...

When at home Maan kept wandering in the garden and the back yard where he finds solace in Geet's memories...

This girl has made him crazy...

Part - 6

Next week Maan asks his driver to park his car at KC itself...

He thinks that she will come if she knows that he is not here...

Just as he thought Geet comes that Sunday...

She doesn't come inside the house...

She just goes to the garden...her favourite spot...

Maan is in his room still looking at her picture...

When will she come back? He just wants to see her once...

He doesn't know why this longing?

He had remained single all these days and never missed anyone's company...

But he is missing this unknown girl, whom he had met only a couple of times...

As he was thinking about Geet he hears some unpleasant sound...

He gets angry being disturbed from this beautiful thought...

He goes to the window and shouts...

Maan: Nakul, kya ho raha hai? tum log mujhe chain se rehne nahi de sakthe hai kya? woh awaaz kya hai? Nakuuulll

He peeps into the garden and finds Geet on the swing...

That swing had been kept unattended all these days so it's making those screeechy sounds...

Geet is scared and she tries to leave...

Maan: hare, rukho, koi pakdo ussko

Security stops her...

Maan gets down to see her...

Maan: tum? Yahan kya kar rahi ho? andar kyun nahi aayi?

Geet: kya? Aap ko lagtha hai ki mein chor hoon, haina? toh meinne socha ki mein andar aakke aapko pareshaan mat karoon

Maan: aaisa kuch nahi hai, ye tummara ghar haina? Tum kabhi bhi aasakthi ho, I'm sorry, meinne tumme galat samja

Geet: sach?

Maan smiles...: haan

Geet: aap itna bhi bhure nahi ho, thoda thoda achche bhi ho

Maan: what?

Geet: par aap abhi bhi Dhust danav hi ho? jab dekho chilathe rehthe ho, haina babaji?

Geet runs off without waiting for his reaction...

Maan stares and Geet looks back at him and smiles...

She waves her hands : bye Mr.Khurana

Maan waves back...

But that was an error...haina? this is not MSK...

Maan is happy to see a smile on her face...

He is also feeling very happy...

Next Sunday...

Maan has gone out for some work...

Geet comes and finds that Maan is not at home...

She feels disappointed...

Btu she uses this opportunity to fulfil her wishes...

She runs up the terrace and finds her playing stones still in place...

Those were some left over granite stones big and small mostly rectangular bars...

Her aunty had got it from the nearby sight where Geet used to play in the sands in the evenings while her aunty had a chit chat with her friend, Mrs.Sharma, they were building this huge mansion and Mrs.Sahrma would proudly tell them the work in progress in detail...

Geet made sand castles and the engineer saw her interest in them and he showed her how they built huge buildings using the waste stones...

He would bulid her a new model everytime and soon Geet got interested in this new game...

Her aunt brought her a sack full of stones and she used to plat with them in their terrace...

Her aunt wanted Geet to be a career woman, and want her to satnd on her own legs...independent and free...she was very liberal as she came to Delhi at a very young age married to her doctor husband who was a nice gentleman...

When his whole family cursed his wife for not having issues he stood by her side and supported her, he ignored their advice to desert her and remarry...

He loved her so much and never let her feel inferior...they were made for each other...

She loved him so much and her world surrounded around him...

Starting from the early morning coffee to their late night stroll in the terrace they spent a lot of time together...uncle made it a rule nit to leave her alone for she would miss having their kids and took her along with him wherever he went...

Uncle had his own clinic ...

He always persuaded aunty to engage herself in some work...he never let her sit idle...

She joined a lot of clubs and organized charity functions for the needy...

She also organized weekend medical check ups for the children in the orphanage...

While uncle took care of their health aunty showered them with love and affection...

She used to give them chocolates after their vaccination ...

Infact the children called her chocolate aunty...

She also taught them how to keep themselves neat and tidy...

She taught the girls to set goals and persue a career, become economically independent...

Aspire to become doctors, engineers and scientists...

Geet used to accompany them to the orphanage only for the chocolates she also got from her aunt...

Little she knew about the misfortunes of its inmates...

She just made friends with them and played with them just as a kid...

Later she started to admire her aunty and her work...

Geet looked at the stones and remembered how uncle and aunty played with her like kids and her aunty would always insist on her not to give up her dreams of building such marvels in real oneday...

Here she is, going to complete her architect degree, but her aunt was not there to wish her...

Geet missed her so much...but she is determined to fulfil her aunt's wish...she would definitely succeed one day...

After a while she went to the garden...

Her aunty maintained the garden so well that every visitor never left before praising her efforts and admiring the beautiful roses indulging in their fragrance... The lady visitors always wanted to have those roses and only left after having a bunch of those...

Yes, it was a rose garden and Geet's favourite were the red roses...

She had a handful of red rose plants specially planted for her in a corner and would water them herself every day...wait for them to start flowering...eagerly counting the buds each day and sitting beside them to see them flower into beautiful roses until her aunt came in search of her and took her in telling her that it would only open in the morning...

Now her pretty rose garden looks like a desert...full of thorny bushes and weeds...

It was left neglected for so many days and Maan had no idea of reviving it...

For he had bought it from Geet's uncle's nephew who had inherited it and was an NRI...

He wanted to sell it at any cost as there were no buyers after it became a haunted house totally deserted for the past three years...

Maan knew the value of this place and bought this very cheap and decided to build a luxury apartment there...but as his investors refused to approve the project siting the haunted story behind the palce and it's unlucky tag...Maan decided to shift here and assure them that this place is just as good as the others...right in the middle of upper class residencial area...best suited for high class apartments...he just wants to stay here temporarily until he convinces his investers...

Geet came to know about this from the servants who wanted Maan to vacate this place at the earliest...everyone is so afraid and they stayed here just for Maan...

As Geet took a walk in the garden she comes across her swing...

It is looking like a new one shinning bright and painted and greased ...

Maan had got this done for her...got the area around it cleared...

She is very ahppy and merrily swings till she is contented...

She then decides to clear this place herself...

She starts plucking them one by one...

Maan has returned and he comes to know that Geet is here...

He rushes to see her...

She is not inside the house...

She must be in the garden...on the swing...

She must be surprised...

But, what is this? She is not here?

Maan looks at the empty swing...

She must have gone inside...

But this place is left unattended for a long time, what if there are some snakes or scorpions...

This girl is completely insane...

Maan gets in and searches her...

Maan bahut pareshaan ho gaya, pagal ladhkki, hamesha kuch ulta seedha karthi rehthi hai...

Maan: Geeet, Geeet

Maan had seen everywhere and there is no sign of Geet...

Maan gets a little worried about Geet...

What's wrong? Has she left?

That thought made him very sad...

No no, she won't leave that easily...

She likes giving him trouble...

And what's she up to now...

Ye ladhki mujhe pagal kardegi...

Jab se ye aayi hai Maan has turned into an emotional fool...

He used to be unaffected by human sentiments and neither had anyone to care about after dadi...this is the first time he has felt connected so deeply with someone...

Unknowingly Geet had entered his lonely kingdom and that has made a huge impact on him...

Maan then thinks about the garden...

Geet must be there only...

Maan rushes to the backyard...and here she is...

Maan has a broad smile on his face seeing Geet...

But then he frowns and gets mad that she is so careless...

Maan DD banjaatha...

Geet doesn't notice Maan and she is busy in her work...

Maan shouts...:Geeet...

Part - 7

Geet turns back and finds Maan angry...

But why is he so angry...she has not done anything wrong...

She only trying to clean this mess and bring back this garden to a bloom again...

Just like it used to be when she was here...

Maan finds her plucking the thorny plants...

This plave has been left like a dessert for months and there maybe some dangerous creatures around the bushes...

Maan gets scared that something would harm Geet...

How could she be so stupid to step inside this place first?

This is not the place what she thinks, this has turned into some jungle now...

Maan runs to get her out the place immediately...

Maan: Geet, ye kya kar rahi ho?

Geet turns back to answer him and a thorn runs into her tender finger...

Geet cries in pain...

Geet: aahhh

Maan ruhses to help her...

Maan: kya hua? Mujhe dikao

Maan looks at the blood drops and plucks the thorn out...

Maan: tujhe ye sab karne ki kya zaroorat thi?

He takes her in and dresses her wound...

Geet: ye hummara rose garden hua kartha tha

Maan: toh?

Geet: aaj kaise ho gaya?

Maan: Geet, ab ye mera hai, tujhe isski fikar karne ki koi zaroorat nahi, samji?

Geet: kya?

Maan: haan, tum samajthe kya apne aapko? Tumne toh sirf iss ghar ko dekhne ke permission liya tha, haina?

Geet nods her head: haan

Maan: ye sab karne se pehle mujhse poochna chahiye hai ya nahi?

Geet is scared...

Geet: woh...mein bas aapki madat kar rahi thi

Maan: kaisi madat?

Geet: mein aapke garden ko saaf karkke aur pehle ki tarah ussko sundar banana chahathi thi

Maan: mujhe tummare madat nahi chahiye, agle bar aaise bewakoofi mat karna, agar tumme kuch ho jaatha toh?

Maan bahut dar gaya tha...

Geet can't understand why he is so concerned...

Geet: mein teek hoon, mujhe kuch nahi hua

Maan: kuch nahi hua? Ye kya hai?

Maan points her wound...

Geet: ye kuch nahi hai

Maan applies anti-septic...

Geet: aahhh, chodo mere haath

Maan: Geet, tum bachi toh nahi ho, anti septic nahi lagathi toh infection ho jayega

Maan gently blows on her wound...

Geet feels shy...

She pulls back her hand and tries to get away from him...

Maan stops her and pulls her closer...

Maneet eyelock...mahi...

Nakul comes and knocks...

He has brought them snacks...

Geet: thanks

Maan: coffee meinne nahi banaya, tumme toh Nakul ko thank karna chahiye Geet

Geet: woh nere jula ko teek karne ke liye

Maan smiles...

Geet: aur

Maan: aur?

Maan looks into her eyes...

Geet is unable to meet his eyes...she looks somewhere else...

Geet: mere ghaav ko mallam lagane ke liye bhi

Geet blushes...

Maan is surprised to see her face turn red ...

He thought that she is still a kid...

But this girl is no longer a kid...

Maan too is smitten by her raw beauty and her innocence...

Geet: toh mein chalthi hoon

Geet leaves but she has made her deep impressions on Maan that could last for his entire lifetime...

Maan starts to wait for the next Sunday...

This time he gets the garden cleared and readied to be planted...

Geet brought some rose plants with her this time...

She is happy to see her garden ready for planting...

She plants them herself...

Maan keeps looking at her from the balcony...

She finds her struggling to do it alone...

He asks chandu to go and help her...

Geet finally waters them and strictly orders Chandu to take good care of them...

They should have grown taller and started to flower when she comes next time...

Chandu listens to her carefully as if she is the boss here...

Since Maan respects her so much the servants tend to obey her too...

She just begins the work and Maan completes it...

He gets more rose plants and fills the garden with them...

He appoints a gardener...

He could have done it himself but he doesn't want to disappoint Geet...

She wanted to do it herself know...

She loves this place so much...she has fond memories of this place...

She still treats it as her own...

Maan won't complain as she has entered as an angel in his life...

He just wants to hold her hands and follow her blindly...

She is the one who could teach him how to enjoy life's little joys and bring soul to his otherwise empty life...she is the one who has filled the void deep inside his heart...the one to take Dadi's place in his life...

Slowly and steadily they began to compliment each other and enjoy their newly found company...

Unknowingly they start to admire each other and become inseperable...

Though they meet only on Sundays , it's just those memorable moments that they spend together that keeps them going for the whole week...

Geet is now very comfortable at KM...she doesn't need anyone's permission now...

Everything is done to her will...usski marzi hi chalthi...

Even Maan had to give in...how could he say no to this cute innocent doll?...

Maan plans to go to Mumbai this weekend...

He informs Geet and asks her to be careful when he is not around...take good care of herself and the house...Geet agrees to take care of KM...

Geet comes up with a plan to turn this weekend memorable...

Afterall this place won't remain the same in the near future...

She wants to spend as much time here as she could...

Iss jagah se kitne sundar yaadein judi hai Geet ki...

Her days spent here with her uncle and aunty were the most happiest so far and for her uncle and auntu too it was a dream come true for them, having a kid in their family...

As Maan is not here she can do whatever she wants...haina?

Her aunty used to throw kitty parties for her friends every month and Geet enjoyed them as she got to get pampered by all of them...

They ask her to sing and dance and they all just loved this cutie angel...

Geet wants to relive those occasions...

As it's Sunday most of her friends were free and she wanted to throw a party for them...

A farewell party to her beloved home...

She called some friends and soon they all got together...

They were all so excited as it's very tough for them to get a wonderful place like this exclusively for them to party, it's a girls' show...they can do anything they want to...

Wherever they go, a friends b'day or disos the boys dominate them often...

But this is their party...

Geet tips the servants and makes the arrangements...

Nakul makes some desi delicacies and Pinky gets some refreshments...

Some one brought a music system and they palyed the latest numbers and danced their heart out...

There is no one to stop them...

They just freaked out and made a mess...

No one noticed the time and it's already 3 pm...

Some parents called and they ended their bash reluctantly...

Many wanted to have the party every weekend...

Everyone left except Geet and Pinky...

Pinky: chalo Geet, ab hum bhi cahltein hai...

Geet is overwhelmed, she wanted to stay there for a few minutes all alone...

Geet: Pinky, tum jao, mein kuch dher yahan akhele rehna chahathi hoon

Pinjky: par zyada dher mat karna, jaldhi aana, bye

Pinky leaves...

Geet sits there, her mind going back in time...

And she was completely lost in her thoughts until someone came and shook her up...

Geeet

It's Maaan...

Geet is worried...babaji, ab mein kya karoon?'

Inko itne jaldhi aane ki kya zaroorat thi?

Geet runs around to hide herself...

But that's impossible, Maan is already here...and no one can escape his eagle eyes, particularly Geet Handa...haina?

Part - 8

Maan had come back earlier...

Or maybe Geet didn't know that it's so late...

It's almost 6 pm and even Maan has returned from his trip...

He was surprised to hear that Geet is still here, at the terrace...

Normally she leaves by 4 pm...

Geet is shocked to see Maan...

She turns her back to him and gets busy tring to eat her gol gappe...

But she is too full...

She just tries to ignore him so that he would leave in anger...

But that's not going to happen...

Maan is in a way happy to find her still there...

Maan stares Geet and she knows very well that he is not going to leave without causing her trouble...

She then tries to manage the situation...

She pretends to be unaware of his early arrival...

Maan: Geeet

She turns and looks surprised as if she had not seen him...

Geet: aap? Yahan kaise?

Maan: Geet, ye sawaal toh mujhe karna chahiye tha, shayad tum bhool gayi ho ki ye mera ghar hai

Geet: woh...mein chalthi hoon, mujhe jaana hai

Geet runs and her duppatta flies in the wind and Maan catches it...

Geet stands there feeling shy...

Maan takes it to her and covers her...

Geet tries to leave but Maan still holds her duppatta slowly pulling her towards him...

Geet is a little scared...

Maan looks at her, he is not able to let her go...

He wants to have her with him forever...

He wants to feel her, to merge with her, his body aches for her...

His heart says that she is his Geet...his life, his love...

But his mind reminds him about the reality and warns him that this is impossible...

Maan: tum aaise nahi jaasakthi

Geet turns back and looks at him...

Maan: aaise kya dekh rahi ho? pehle mere sawaal ko jawab do, ye sab kya hai?

Geet: woh...mein apne iss gahr ko ek farewell party dena chahathi thi, aap issko demolish karnewale haina?

She looks very upset...

Maan: kya? tum ghar ko farewell dena chahthi thi?

Geet: haan, ye mere zindagi ka bahut khaas tukda haina?

Maan wonders who would treat a lifeless building so dearly...like a living person...

Geet: ab mein jaoon

Maan: nahiii

Geet is puzzled...

Maan wants her to stay with him some time longer...

Maan: iss jagah ko dekha, kitna ganda hai

Geet: woh, Cahndu haina, Chandu, Geet shouts

Cahndu comes running...

Geet: zara issko saaf kardo

Chandu starts cleaning...

Maan: Chanduuu, rukh jao

Chandu looks at Maan confused...

Maan: tumme aur koi kaam nahi hai kya?

Chandu: haina sir

Maan: tum jao, apna kaam karo

He still waits looking at poor Geet...

Maan: tumne suna nahi meinne kya kaha, jao, apna kaam karo

Chandu leaves...

Geet: ab isse kaun saaf karega?

Maan: aur kaun? tum

Geet: kya?

Maan: haan, mujhse bina poochkke itna sab kar sakthi haina? Toh isse saaf bhi tum hi karo

Maan stands there staring at her...

Geet stares back...

Maan: mujhe gurkke koi faida nahi, chalo, shuru hojao

Geet: mein akhele kaise kar sakthi?

Maan: mein kuch nahi jaantha

Geet starts cleaning...

She struggles to lift the table...

Maan helps her...

She is already tired...

Maan feels pity for her...

But he is liking this...

Maan: Geet, tumme kaise patha ki mein iss gahr ko demolish karnewala hoon?

Geet: mein sab jaanthi hoon, yahi aapka kaam haina? Aap bhi real estate ke business mein hi ho

Maan: achcha, toh tum mere barein mein itna sab kuch jaanthi ho? aur kuch jaanna hai toh mujhse hi pooch sakthi ho

Maan smiles...

Geet looks at her rose garden...

Maan: kya soch rahi ho?

Geet: aap issko toh kuch nahi karenge, haina?

She looks worried...

Maan: Geet, tumme toh patha haina ki mera kaam hi kuch aaisa hai, mein kya karoon?

Geet: par aapka naya project mein bhi garden hona chahiye haina? Issko bas aaise hi rehne do, pls

Maan: tumme ye jagah itna pasand hai

Geet: mujhe pasand ho ya na ho, kya farak padtha? Waise ye ab mera nahi hai

Maan: farak padtha hai Geet, tum bathao, tum chahathi haina ki ye sab aaise hi rahe?

Geet: haan

Maan: toh aaisa hi hoga Geet, mein tumme niraas nahi kar saktha

Geet: kya?

Maan: haan, ab ye mera ghar hi rahega, hamesha

Geet: aap mere liye joot bol rahe haina?

Maan: tumme yakheen nahi hotha?

Geet: nahi, aapko kya zaroorat hai ki issko aaise hi rakhne ki?

Maan: sach mein Geet, mein toh issko renovate karne ka bhi soch raha tha, tum chaho toh, ye kaam tum hi kar skathi ho, iss ghar ko tumse zyada koi nahi jaantha, haina?

Geet: sachiii?

she starts dancing in joy...

Geet goes and hugs him...

Maan just can't control himself...

He too hugs her...they get lost in each other...

Geet hosh mein aathi...she steps back immediately...

Maan: chalo, mein tumme drop kartha hoon

Geet: mein chali jaoongi

Maan: Geet, bahut dher ho chukli hai, tum ab akhele kaise jaogi?

Geet: mein manage karloongi

Maan: tumne suna nahi meinne kya kaha?

Maan drops her at her hostel...

Geet looks very happy ...

Geet: Good Night sir

Maan: what? Tumne mujhe sir kyun bhulaya?

Geet: aaj se mein aapke liye kaam kar rahi hoona? toh aap mere boss ban gaye haina?

Maan: tum kya keh rahai ho? mujhe kuch samaj mein nahi aaya, meinne kab tumme kaam pe rakha?

Geet: kya? toh aap joot bol rahe the? Mein jaanthi thi, tum log na, aaise hi hothe ho, aapko sirf paison ki padi

Maan: Geet, ab meinne kya kiya? Meinne toh tummare liye kitna bada offer ko tukhraya hai, tumme maloom bhi hai ya nahi? Uss ghar ki keemat tum kya jaanthi ho?

Geet: dekha? meinne sahi kaha na? aap aur aapke paise

Geet tries to walk away without even looking back at Maan...

Maan runs and stops her...

Maan: tummare problem kya hai?

Maan is very angry...he holds her wrist so hard that it hurts her a lot...

Geet: chodo, chodo mere haath

Maan just then realizes what he is doing and controls himself...

But still he can't let her go...

He looks into her eyes...

They look so innocent...

She is still not able to understand his concern and his feelings...

She is too nave for all that...

Her love is only for his so called Mansion...

But why Geet? tumme mere pareshaani nazar nahi aathi?

Kya tum mere ankhon mein apne aap ko dkeh nahi apyi?

Kya tum inn aankhon mein apne liye itna bhi pyaar nahi dekhi?

Kya mein itna bhura hoon? Kya mujhe pyaar karne ki haq nahi hai?

Kya mein insaan nahi hoon? Kya mere paas dil nahi hai?

Kya mein kissi ko kush nahi rakh skatha?

Kya mein kssi ko pyaar nahi de saktha?

Kya mein kssi ke pyaar ke layak nahi hoon?

Maan ke dimag mein sawaal pe sawaal utke ussko pareshaan karthe...

Aur ye sare pareshaani Geet ke upar Maan ke gusse ko badathe...

Tumme bhi uss lifeless makhaan ki padi, meri itna bhi kadhar nahi hai?

Maan is very disappointed...he wants her to respond to his feelings...

Somehow he feels that she too likes him...

Maan keeps looking at her innocent yet bold eyes...

They tell him that she is also feeling the same...

They always mislead him and torture him...

But when the time comes to accept the truth they always back off...

Try to hide form him...

Maan hates this hide and seek...

He needs to know the truth immediately...

He needs to know that Geet loves him too...

But he has forgot to realize that Geet is too young and it must be even more difficult for her to handle this...Maan has to give her some time...

Yes, he has to let her realize that he loves her...and it's not a one-sided affair...

Geet may not know what's happenng to her, but Maan knows that she is also in love...

She has to accept it...sooner the better...

Maan won't wait for her a lifetime...

Part - 9

Maan holds her hands tight as if she would escape and vanish...

He would never let her go...from his life...he needs her...

Maan keeps staring into her eyes waiting for an answer...

Trying to find out what their new message is...

What is that Geet is hiding?

Geet couldn't face those powerfull eyes...

What is that they want from her?

They are so demanding, commanding her always...

Yearning for something...yearning for her one look...one smile...

Why do they always follow her like a hawk?

Why is she afraid of them?

Why is she shying away from them?

What is stopping her?

She knows very well that she has no business with this man, she is only concerned about his new abode...one that he is least bothered of, but the one she is so fond of...

That's the only link they share...nothing else...haina babaji?

Geet can't take it anymore...

Geet: chodo mujhe, mujhe dard ho raha hai...

Kaise dard? Ye toh Geet hi jaanthi hai? Dil ka dard...

Maan tries to ease the situation...

Maan: toh tum kab kaam shuru kar rahi ho?

Geet: mujhe aapke saath koi kaam nahi karni

Maan: teek hai, mein koi aur naya architect ko hire kartha hoon

He just leaves his hold...

Geet didn't expect this...

Maan continues...

Maan: mein ek architect ko jaantha hoon, she is the best in town, she is best known for renovations, kehthe hai ki usske haath mein jadu hai, she turns the places into palaces, she just remodels them into new wonders, koi dekhega toh unko lagega ki ye naya hai, bilkul naya, she gives such a new look, but she is a little expensive, she wants to demolish everything she dislikes and wants everything to be upto her standard, tum toh ussko jaanthi hogi, Sameera

Ye naam sunthe hi Geet bahut pareshaan ho jaathi...

She knows Sameera very well...

She is a guest lecturer at her college...

Everyone is crazy about her...specailly the boys...

They just never miss her sessions...

She is known for her innovative ideas and her ultra modern designs...

She always likes changes...

Either her look or her dressing...she keeps changing them everytime...

There is always this buzz around her whenever she makes a visit...

she looks stunning in every look...

The girls are jealous of her and they try to copy her...

Geet likes the past more...

Our heritage, their elegance...their painstaking sillful workmanship...

Their interest in minute details...

Geet knows very well that Sameera would bring her house down within days...

As if there was an earthquake...

She would just convert it into a stylish concrete block, leaving no traces of its present looks...

Erasing Geet's fond memories of that place forevr...

Geet: ek minute, Maan sir

Maan turns back with a victorious smile...

MSK just can't stop smiling when this girl is around...

Maan: kya kaha tumne? Phir se bolo

Geet: woh...ye kaam mein hi karoongi, Sir

Maan: lekhin tum toh mere saath kaam nahi karna chahathi thi

Geet: nahi nahi, aaise koi baat nahi

Maan: pacca?

Geet: haan, pacca

Maan: toh teek hai, kaam kab shuru karogi?

Geet: ek choti si problem hai

Maan: kya?

Geet: mein abhi bhi student hoona? Toh mein sirf weekends mein aasakthi, lekhin mein ek hafthe ka kaam do din mein karloongi

Jitna dhere kaam chalega utna achcha hoga, kyunki Geet utne din Maan ke saath rahegi, haina?

Maan: mujhe koi jaldhi nahi

Geet: par mein jitney jaldhi ho sake utne jaldhi kaam katam karne ki koshsish karoongi

Maan: meinne kaha na? koi jaldhi nahi hai

Geet: teek hai, mein Saturday ko aathi hoon

Maan: mein intrezaar karoonga

Geet: thank you Maan sir

Maan: good night

Geet starts her work ...

She makes some sketches for the interior looks...

She just wants to restore its earlier look...

She recalls the places as they were when she used to stay there with her aunty...

The exteriors just need some cleaning, fixing, shinning and painting...nothing more...

Only the interior looks devastated...without the furnitures and the beautiful collection of paintings and sculptures that aunty brought from different parts of the globe...

But where have all these gone?

That Saturday Geet just searches the whole house for those missing things...

She then finds them in the store room attick...

She climbs the ladder and tires to get them down...

Maan just comes looking for her...

Maan: Geet, tum yahan kya kar rahi ho? woh bhi akhele. Kissi ko saath lekhe aathi?

Geet just turns back to look at Maan...

She tries to show him something...

It looks loke an old clock...

She tires to pull it out if the mess...

She pulls it hard and looses her balance...

She falls off fron the ladder...

Luckily Maan catches hold of her...

Maneet eyelock...

The clock hangs out of the attick...Geet tries to hold it...

But the clock falls down and breaks into pieces...

Geet jumps off and goes and tries to collect it...

The glass cuts her finger and blood drops from her finger...

Maan rushes to her aid...

He holds her hand and tries to take off the glass piece...

Geet is in tears...she is in pain...

Maan is hurt to see her in pain...

His pain turns into anger...

Maan: Geet, ye tumne kya kiya hai?

Geet doesn't reply...

Maan: pagal ladhki, itna bhi akal nahi hai

Geet starts to cry...

Maan tires to console her...

Maan: Geet, bahut dard hotha hai kya?

Geet nods her head...: haan

Maan lifts her and takes her to his room...

Geet doesn't resist...

Maybe she is in a lot of pain...

Maan puts her on the couch...

He takes the first aid box and starts dressing her cut...

Geet is still lost in her thoughts...

Tears keeps dropping from her eyes...

Maan: ab kyun ro rahi ho? tumse toh ek paanch saal ki bachi behthar hai, ab dekho kya ho gaya? kissne kaha tumme ye sab karne ki? Mujhse ek bar poochthi toh mein tummare madat kartha, ya kissi ko tummare madat ke liye bhejtha. Lekhin nahi, tum toh hamesha apne manmaani karthi rehthi ho

Geet ko toh kuch bhi sunayi nahi detha...

As soon as Maan finishes his work and leaves her she runs off immediately...

Maan tires to stop her but he couldn't...

Maan:Geet, rukho, kahan jaa rahi ho?

Maan follows her...

She is off to the same store room...

Chandu is cleaning the mess...

Geet: rukhjao, hatto

She pushes him off and tries to assemble it back...

Chandu: madam, ye tootta hai, aapke haath

Maan: Cahndu, tum jao

Maan: Geet, ye kya pagalpan hai?

Geet answers him still crying...

Geet: ye, ye toot gaya, meinne kya kardiya hai? auntyji mujhe kabhi maaf anhi akrenge, haina babaji?

Maan: Geet, ye toh bahut purana hai, abhi toh kaam bhi nahi karega

Geet: ab kaise kaam karega? Babaji, ab mein kya karoon?

Maan: kuch nahi, kuch bhi nahi, samji, aao mere saath

Geet: par ye

Maan: ye toh Chandu saaf karega

Geet: nahi, ye mera hai, koi haath nahi lagega, samje aap

Maan: teek hai, tum yahan beitto

Maan carefully picks up the pieces...

Geet keeps looking at him...

Maan treeis to fix it...

He throws off the broken bits of glasses and puts the remaining parts together...

It's an alarm clock with a cuckoo singing every hour...

Maan: Geet, ye kaise kaam kartha?

Geet snatches it from him and tires to wind the keys...

But no use, it's all broken...

Geet starts crying like a little kid...

Maan pulls her and hugs her...

Maan: Geet, aaise kyun rothi ho? mein issko teek kar saktha hoon

Geet: sachi?

She jumps in joy...

Geet: aapko ye sab patha ahi?

Maan: nahi, mein isse kissi achche antique shop mein dekhe repair kartha hoon

Geet: aajkal aaise masterpiece nahi millega, haina?

Maan: haan

Geet: yahan aur bhi aaise bahut kuch hai, aap aao mere saath

Geet tries to climb up the ladder...

Maan stops her...

Maan: aaj nahi, aaj ke liye yahi khaafi hai, hum kal dekhkenge

Geet: lekhin mujhe aaj hi dekhna hai

Maan: Geet, tumne suna nahi meinne kya kahaa? Chalo, ab hum chalthe hai

Maan forces her out...

Part - 10

Maan drags her with him to the dinning table...

Nakul has got the table ready for lunch...

Maan: kya dekh rahi ho? khao

Geet tries to eat with her left hand for her right hand is bandaged...

She stops with the soup...

Nakul brings the aloo paratha and her favourite malai koftas...

Geet left hand mein kaise khayegi?

She looks at it fondly...

Maan: khao

Geet: nahi, mujhe bhook nahi hai

She just says looking at her hand...

Maan smiles...

Maan: koi baat nahi, yahan lao, mein khatha hoon

Nakul: Maan sir, aapka pasta?

Maan: aaj mujhe yahi khaana hai

Geet gets angry...she stares him...

Ye mere liye banaya hai aur dekho mere haath baandhkke ye khathe hai, woh bhi mere samne? Khao khao, aapka phet na? zaroor dukhega, ek masoom ladhki ko bhukke chodkke khathe haina?

Maan takes a piece and tries to feed her...

Geet is surprised...toh ye mere liye tha?

Geet looks at him with her eyes wide open...ye sapna hai ya sach?

She takes a while to realize that its real...

Maan: Geet, muh kholo, mein aaise tere samne pura din beit nahi saktha

Geet takes a bite...

It's delicious...

Geet: wow, Nakul bhaiya, khana bahut badiya hai, jaise hummare Hoshiarpur mein banathe haina? Waise hi hai, thanks a lot

Maan looks at her...and he keeps staring...

Geet: sachi, khana bahut ahccha hai, aap khakke dekho

Maan chak ke dekhtha...

Geet waits for his reactions...

Geet: achcha haina?

Maan: haan

Geet: Nakul bhaiya, Maan sir ko bhi pasand aaya, kal sab ke liye lacha paratha aur butter chicken banayiye, waise mujhe na, chicken bahut pasand hai

She keeps ordering...Maan is on strick diet...but not anymore...

Maan: Geet, ho gayi?

Geet: haan

Maan: tum kuch bhool rahi ho

Geet: kya? haan, kheer, Nakul bahiya, mujhe na, badam ki kheer bahut pasand hai

Maan: Geeet

Geet: aapko pasand nahi hai?

Maan: mein kabse ye paratha lekhe kada hoon

Geet: woh...

Maan: tummari bak bak thode dher chodkke khana khalo

Geet chup chap khana katam karthi...

She keeps looking at Maan...

Maan: kya hai?

Geet: ab mein kuch boloon?

Maan: haan bolo

Geet: thank you Maan sir, aap nahi khilathe toh mein kitne achche khane ko miss karthi, waise mujhe na, aaise hi khana pasand hai, apne hathon se khane mein itna mazaa nahi hotha, woh kya haina? Auntyji mujhe hamesha aaisa hi khilathe the

Geet phir se ronne lagi...

Maan: Geet, koi baat nahi, abhi bhi tummare auntyji tumme hi dekhke bahut kush hothe honge? Haina?

Maan doesn't believe in all this humbug...but he wants to cheer her up...

Geet: haan

Maan: woh...tum kitne saal apne aunty ke saath thi?

Geet has never told anything to him about this...

Geet just wants to tell him her story...

Now that he is the new owner of KM he should know its history so that he would take good care of it...

Geet is the second child after Cahnni, her elder sister...

She is almost 10 years elder...

She was born after a lot of abortions for her family's desire for a male child...

She was an unwanted child...as the doctor was not ready to kill her in her womb for that would kill her mother Geet came to this world on her own, without being welcomed by her family...

But her mother loved her so much...

She took care of her very well and showered her love on her so that shewon't feel bad for the famil's negligence...

When Geet was 4 yrs old her mother put her in the local school...

She wanted her Geet to get educated like her little sister Meera...

Though Ranno went to basic school, she had to drop school as she got older...

But her sister completed her schooling fighting against all odds and was stubborn to get out of

that village as soon as possible...

She married a doctor and settled in Delhi...

There she went to college and completed her graduation...

Her husband was very supportive...

As she had no children she asked her sister to send Channi with her, she will give her the best education but her jijaji was not ready for that...

Instead he got her married to his sister's illiterate son even when she was still young...only 15...

After a couple of years she gave birth to a son and everyone was so happy...

After Channi left for her sasuraal mohinder got Ranno pregnant believing some sadhu's words that he would definitely have a son this time...

Ranno gave birth to another girl and this time she was not able to handle everything as she was too old for all this...

She tried hard to look after her new born and the family...

Her MIL just ignored her and her child...

She managed to just keep herself alive...

Geet was the most affected...

She was just 10 and there she was helping her mother and her Dadi...

Doing all the household work and her school days are over...

Just then Meera visisted her sister and she took Geet along with her to Delhi fighting everyone even her sister couldn't stop her this time...

She knew that that's the best thing that Geet can get in her life...

That's how Geet came to this Brindavan as her mausi called it before Mr.Khurana took it over...

Now for our convenience we will call it KM...

Those were the best daysof her life...

She went to the best school in Delhi...

She was so proud of her aunty...

Whenever she came to school with Geet everyone surrounded her and wanted to talk with her...

She was so popular amongst them...

They also treated Geet like a princess...

Geet couldn't wish for anything more...

This was a strange new world for her...here both the girls and the boys are treated alike unlike her family back in Hoshiarpur where she and her little sister were treated like a blackmark...

Meera always insisted Geet to take her studies seriously...

She even told her that she would never send her back to her home at Hoshiarpur...

She wanted Geet to settle here with her itself...

She can pursue her higher studies and join a reputed college here itself...

Geet is lost in her past when Maan interferes...

Maan: Geet, kya hua? Tum mujhe bathana nahi chahathi toh teek hai

Geet: nahi nahi

Maan: phir kya soch rahi ho?

Geet: woh...

Maan: lagtha hai ki apne purane khayaalon mein kho gayi

Geet: haan

Geet has a big smile on her face...

Maan: toh bathao, mein bhi sunna chahatha hoon ki tummare aunty kitne achche hai

Maan gets ready to listen to her story...

Geet is also happy to share it with Maan...

She has been waiting for someone to share her story...

But she had not found the right person all these days...

With Maan she has no hesitation to tell about her childhood...

Next part...story time...
