Geet has some more pain to go through....
The Ugly truth
Geet had not wanted to stay in delhi, she was going to run away. She thought this one last time with maan and I will go away. She knew what it would entail if she stayed. She knew, the brothers will be separated. The family will be broken. All because she was there in the middle of it. Of course it was not fault of hers or her baby's, but why did she have to feel this for Maan, of all the people on this earth, why did god choose him. Why did he make her family marry her off to Dev, why did all the things happen that happened to her? She knew she was rehashing what she had already thought over a thousand times and more but did not know the way out.
Dared she hope that she and Maan were meant to be. Dared she believe that he will love her the same if he knew who was responsible for her circumstances. Dared she ask him to take sides and be next to her.
She still had not come to any conclusion. She knew that the brother was away in Canada. But what if he came back? What then? How will she face maan and daadima if they came to know that she had kept the truth from them and not told them for the fear of losing them. Oh her mind was whirling, she put her hands on the head and sank back into the bed.
Just then, she felt something sticky between her legs. At first she did not pay much heed but decided to check it up anyway. Going to the bathroom she realized she was bleeding. Her only thought was….my baby!
She called out to Maan, who came rushing to her and she screamed, pointing to her stomach, My baby, I am losing my baby, take me to hospital Maan, I cant lose this baby, it is mine…mine…its all I have…I cant I cant she kept chanting almost losing consciousness. Maan had picked her up and ran with her to the outer room and called out to Pinky and her father and said, Ambulance Bulaiye…She needs to be taken to hospital but realized, that will lose them precious moment and said…choriye…meri car keys mere pocket mein hai…aap gaadi chaliye mein..Geet ko lekar peeche baithta hoon…nahi..mein chalata hoon…maan did not know for once what to do..other than these thoughts that flew in him mind at lightning speed. He ran to the car as Pinky's father opened the door, gently placed Geet in the back seat, Pinky had gotten blankets and pillows to support her…Maan jumped into the driver's seat while Pinky sat holding Geet at the back and her father jumped in the other side in the passenger seat next to maan.
They rushed to hospital where, the emergency people took over. They paced the corridor taking turns while Geet was being attended to by the medics. Maan stood stiffly near a window after an hour of pacing not giving him the peace he searched as he walked the corridor. Just when he thought he had lost all patience turned to storm to the OT when he saw the doctor come out.
The doctor informed him that, the child could not be saved, it was a girl. Geet was under sedation and will need to be at the hospital for at least a week to recover. She seemed to be in stress and that is reason for miscarriage. Maan heaved a mental sigh. He had been berating him for having made love to Geet and hurting her and making her lose her child in the process. He still obliquely asked if there was any other reason and He assured him that it was stress and I think the accident earlier might have something to do with it. It did happen, sometimes that miscarriage came later and not immediately after an accident. Maan said, but she was not hit, just the pull and shock. Doctor advised him that a miscarriage could be nature's way of taking care of future problems. He said, have faith in God, I know coming from a doctor it may sound strange but he knows best. Leave it to him, She is young, healthy and you will be able to have other children. Maan let it pass. He already thought as if he was her husband anyway and she was going to marry him as soon as she was recovered.
Can I see her? He asked the doctor who nodded and said sure, she is still unconscious, but I am sure she will feel your presence. Go ahead, give her support, she will need it. He walked away, leaving maan to stand looking at him and then came out of his reverie go to Geet.
He saw her pallid face and wanted to do anything possible to take her pain away, physical and emotional. His ears were still ringing with her words, I cant lose this child, its all I have…reverberating in him mind. He felt as if he was not part of Geet, somehow those words told him that she was going to leave him. Why, Why did he feel, geet was hiding something from him? Why did he feel that there was more to her than she let on or what he knew…
He had to get to the bottom of it…he was holding her hand sitting next to her on a stool and thinking these thoughts when he heard her murmur… I have to go away, I have to leave, I cant stay… he is his brother….what if he finds out…
Maan leaned closer to her first thinking she was talking to him but realized she was still under the effect of anesthesia and was speaking in her semi conscious state. She squeezed on his hand and kept on saying I cant do this, I cant lie, I cant ..and then she said…what if Dev….and fell into a deep slumber as she seemed to have come to conclusion.
Maan heard Dev and his hand stilled which were caressing her hand soothingly. Dev, did she say Dev? What about Dev? How did she know Dev? Lie?
Oh God! Maan thought? I will go crazy trying to sort everything out. He then got an idea. He picked up the phone and called Dev and asked him to come to India. He said, some important matter needed his signature and he should be here. Dev initially hesitated but agreed to come in two days.
Maan thought, I will have them face to face and see what connection Dev and Geet have. He felt something in his gut. He knew something was there…
