Sometimes Life comes across as the strangest thing in the world '
Sometimes life plays such practical jokes on you that you are left with no options, no alternatives '
And this is what I felt Maan was feeling today.
Let me start where I stopped yesterday '. He sat next to her, rested her head on his shoulder and very softly touched her back-lace ' pulling the string open ' but that strange stillness in his eyes, that strange quietness in his body was enough to express his inner turmoil. He was hurting ' hurting to the core of his heart for having forced to touch her like this in her unconsciousness. He was afraid, terrified to see her that way. Till yesterday he thought he had all the rights on her, but today was a different story. In that one moment when she had declared her pregnancy to him, he had lost all rights on her ' (atleast that's what he thought). He had to change her clothes, but he was afraid, but he had to find a way ' a way which could keep Geets' honor as well as his dignity and so he switched off the lights. I bow to you Maan for being such a dignified man. You did what was required and you also managed to protect her respect '.
And as if that was not enough, she held his hand again, blabbering ' "aap mujhay chor kay tu nahi jaain gay na" and once again, Maan was left with no choice. His love for Geet is way above every feeling of anguish, his love for Geet is way above every distress that she has given him ' he looked at her, as if he was trying to fight, to rationale with his own heart and very silently gave in making a statement of his life "main kaheen nahi jar aha .. mein yaheen tumharay saath hoon" '. No matter if he had to sit by the corner of that bed all night, he would stay.
One thing which has always flattered me about Maan is the fact that he has the perfect quality of saying the right thing at the right time. He knew Dadi would think strange things seeing him and Geet in the room, on the bed and so, before she would say something her very smartly corrected her thoughts .. "do aur do ko paanch na banain" brilliant ' had it been some other show, this Dadi's misunderstanding would have lingered for atleast 2 epis ' arghhh ' but our Maan, always the correct one, always the smart one '
Geet thought she should leave, Dadi thought she should stay ' and Maan, amidst all just stood there, hands tied across his chest, lost n his own haywire thoughts; the expression on his face telling the whole story ' Geet looked at him and could read it all, I could see fear in her eyes when Dadi asked Maan what he thought and he pattern of thoughts broke. He looked up and what he saw was worth every pain in this world. He saw the two most important women in his life, standing there, looking at him with hopes in their eyes '
- Dadi maa ' hoping to see Maan and Geet happy forever
- Geet - hoping to see the same love, the same care in Maan's eyes which she had lost by that unwise use of pregnancy declaration words.
And that was the moment Maan once again lost everything. How can he hurt any one of these women ' His Dadi means a world to him and Geet has very silently imprinted his heart with her innocence and her lovability. How can he let any one of these women lose ' how can he let anyone of these women hurt because of him. He won't do that, he can't do that. Dadi needed a confirmation, he gave it to her. Geet needed support; he was and would always be there for her.
But everytime he is alone with Geet, he cant forget the pain she had given him by hiding the truth for soo long. And he was still not ready to listen to her. "mujhay tumhari sachaee mein koee interest nahi" that's what he said and walked away ' but I ask you and I ask Geet, why cant she just hold his hand, garb his shoulder, and just start her story ' why can't she just start with this one sentence .. "I was married once" that I am sure will grab all Maan's attention, but no, she very conveniently fainted ' perfectttttt. Because may be, in the heart of her heart she knows, the only way Maan would come close to her now would be when she would be in pain. Is she using this ' but I don't care if she does use it sometimes, all I care is that Maan's deserves the whole truth, because this half truth is hurting him more and more everyday; making him more and more bitter everyday; making him doubt his own judgement more and more everyday. Please Geet Maan deserves truth ' full truth ' atleast respect him for that and tell him all.
I hear most of you feel hurt by his wording "kahin aur maro ja kay .... meray samnay kuin" and its justified as well .... Sometimes it really does hurt to see the characters we really love the most not do justice to our thoughts and ideologies. we have been through this many times, but dont you guys think Maan has already accepted her the way she is. ab tu bas ghussa hai and sometimes in anger we all tend to say things we never mean. hasn't it ever happened to you ever, It happens to me most of the time, . aur ghussay mein tu insaan janay kya kya bol daita hai. I know he doesn't want to listen to her, i know he is being stubborn, but dont you think Geet should act strong as well and as i said, just go and grab him and tell him the truth .... itna right to geet ka hai maan pay. Then why is she begging him to listen ... why???
and the dying part .. to me it was his way of telling her, I CARE FOR YOU GEET ... main naraz ho kay bhi tumhain chor nahi sakta ... mein tumhain takleef mein nahi dekh sakta ... don't you think it was his way of telling her that. Now that he thinks he has lost all his rights on her, he is frustrated and can't tell her directly that he needs her in his life and that he wont let any harm come to Geet so i believe this was his way of expression. All i know is, sometimes men have strange ways of expression ... and in this turmoil and pain, thats what came out of his tounge ...
He wanted to run away from it all, he was fighting the biggest battle of his life at that moment, he was combating his worst fears at that moment, he was split between love and dhoka, and he picked love;
- He would stay;
- No matter if he had to go through the same pain again and again and again, he would stay;
- No matter if he would have to die in the process, he would stay;
- No matter if staying with Geet would remind him of her betrayal every single day, he would stay;
- No matter how his heart would bleed, he would stay;
- No matter how his heart would ache, he would stay;
- No matter what the consequences would be, he would stay;
- And he knew right then, he would always be there for Geet ' for very silently she had become the responsibility of his LOVE for her '
But to be frank, to me, he had decided this right at the moment he saw her falling in the rain; he had decided it right at the moment when his body ignored all senses of his anguish and suffering and ran to save her. Whatever led after that was just a justification ' just a rationalization ' because the decision was already made; the mind was already set; the heart was already ready.
The topping of it all ' he didn't let her eat the papita '. With this Maan once again touched my heart and marked my soul. His own hurt is nothing in front of this girl. He was forget everything for her, he can disregard anything for her ' and he can go to any extent to care for her. It was a light moment after many days, but it was equally suggestive and indicative.
He showed her very subtly, very delicately, very involuntarily, that I will not let any harm come to your baby '. He himself was not sure what he was doing but he cared and was ready to go to any extent to protect her and the baby '.
That's Maan Singh Khurana....
- Honesty at its best;
- Love at its best;
- Care at its best;
- Ownership at its best; T
- ruthfulness at its best
That's THE MAAN SINGH KHURANA!!!
