Part 10: Confessions!!! =)
Maan's car comes to a halt in front of the Khurana mansion. Driving home had never taken him so long. Thanks to his secretary he thought. He walked into the khurana mansion as his daadi wanted to have dinner with all of them. He wanted to meet her first but dev and naintara's conversation in the dining room stopped him. He moved away from their view and was surprised to hear them argue.
"naintara, tum baar baar mujhe us incident ki yaad mat dilao. Main use bhool chukka hoon aur tum bhi bhool jao." Dev yelled at his wife.
"aap shayad bhool gaye, ki aapke ek ghalti ko cover up karne ke liye hume 2 mahino mein who sab karna pada. Kya kya papad bhele te hum yaha tak pahoonchne ke liye. Main umeed karti hoon ki iss baar koi ghalti nahi karenge. Hume koi dhoka nahi denge."
Maan was left thinking. He wanted to question them about the two months they were not here. He stepped forward to do so but stops and realizes he was being stupid. "Nahi maan. Tum bina sabot ke koi sawal nahi karoge. Jab tak poori baath pata nahi chal jaati tab tak tum kuch nahi kahoge."
He turns to leave when he finds his daadi standing right behind him. Dev and Naintara quickly change the topic when they hear daadi greet maan.
All of them are seated at the dining table. Naintara tells maan, "veerji, aap zyaada mirch nahi pasand karte hai, isiliye aapke liye, bina mirch ke khana banwaya hai humne" and gestures dev to serve maan.
Maan simply nods and takes a bite of the food. He immediately spits it out, "isme tuo mirch bilkul nahi hai."
"haan maan, aap mirchi nahi khate hai. Tuo khana waisa hi rahega."
"par daadima.." and before he could continue dev smiles and says, "bro, I have an idea. Ap ek kaam kijiye, why don't u mix the spicy and non-spicy food. Tab aapko mirch bhi nahi lagega nor will it too mon-spicy."
"wah dev, do din kya office aagaye,tuo tum kaafi smart ban gaye" retorts maan sarcastically.
"bro, smart tuo main pehle se hi tha. Bas aapne kabhi dhyaan nahi diya. Aap apne kaam mein itne busy rehte hai ki aap hume theek se pehchana hi nahi."
Maan smiles weakly and thinks to himself, "I just hope dev, maine tumhe pehchaanne mein koi ghalti nahi ki, is baar."
Maan is back in the outhouse. He seems to be disturbed by dev and naintara's conversation. It was not his nature to eaves-drop others conversations but something about it caught his attention. Was he being taken for a ride? Why does this always happen? Why cannot he trust anyone in his life apart from his daadima? His experiences and people around him had him tough. He moved away from anything remotely humane ever since he realized what was going around him. He never smiled not because he did not know how to, but because he did not have a reason to. He did not have anyone in his life that made him feel different and special. Everyone around him respected him for his name and fame and nothing beyond that. He hated all this!
He decided he was thinking too far. The only way to get out of all this is to get back to work. He walks into his study, opens his laptop and starts looking through some future project proposals.
He hears someone walk to him with a coffee cup. He did not have to see who it was. Geet left the coffee cup on the table, pushed maan's chair and sat on his lap. She put her hands around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder. He moved his hands away from the keyboard and put them around her waist and pulled her close.
"pareshaan ho?" she asked, pecking him on his cheek.
"hmmm." He replied weakly.
"meri wajah se" she questioned.
"hmmm" came another reply.
"baat nahi karoge kya?" she asked looking into his eyes now.
"hmmm" he replies again.
"mujhe miss kar rahe ho na."
"hmmm"
"tuo maan kyun nahi lete. Aap mere bina jee nahi sakte. Aapko pyaar ho gaya hai mr. maan khurana."
He looks at her blankly. "nahi"
"achha?theek hai. Phir main chalti hoon." And she pretended to get up but before doing that she kisses him hard on his cheek.
"geet" says maan softly finally breaking the silence. "mujhe kisi pe vishwas nahi hai, main rishton mein nahi manta. Mera rishta sirf meri daadima se hai aur kisi se na.." geet sushes him. "maan, aapko daadi ke alawa mujhpe bhi vishwas hai. Agar nahi hota tuo aap mere bare mein itna nahi sochte, mujhe har baar maaf nahi karte, mere itne kharreb nahi aate aur naa hi mujhe itne khareeb aane dete Maan."
Maan cannot control his emotions anymore. She was speaking his mind. He never allowed anyone to come so close to him and he never allowed anyone to affect him so much!
Seeing, maan not speaking anything she gets up to go but he pulls her back onto his lap. "nahi geet, is baar tum mujhe chod ke nahi jaoge. Haan, mein manta hoon, mujhe pyaar ho gaya. I'm in love with you Geet. And there's no running away from this fact. I've tried everything to keep you away. Lekin tumne mere raato ka neend haram kar diya. Mere dil se, mere dimaag se, mere soch se tum jaane ki baat hi nahi karte ho. Ab bas bahut ho gaya. Maan singh khurana lost for the first time in his life and he lost his heart to you geet!"
Geet smiles and kisses maan on his neck. Maan holds her even close and continues, "meri zindagi ke har jeet se zyaada is haar ne khushi dhi.Thanks geet" and hugs her tightly and falls asleep on the chair.
