The lights were turned off and the CD inserted and home theater started, Pinky pushed me more to Maan's side when I questioned her Adi said, "I too want to sit near my wife" I tried to stand up but, my pallu was under Maan and above it Aryan was half lying on my lap and half on Maan, so I was forced to sit back.
Maa, Papa and Manchanda uncle were seating on other sofas and we 4 and a 1/2 people were sitting on a three seated sofa, I was so close to Maan that I started having goose bumps.
I checked myself, I did not want to think about Munna when I sat so close to Maan, my husband
The movie started and as Kiran Kher said "Tere dil mein meri saanson ko panah mil jaaye,
Tere ishq mein meri jaan FANAA ho jaaye."
I skipped a heartbeat, at the same time Maan squeezed my hand as if assuring me.
The entry scene of Rehan made me smile "Na Shaher Dekho Na Biya Ba Dekho
Khuda Ka Ek Naam-o-Nishan Dekho
Bas Aankh Uthao Aur Rehan Dekho"
Maan whispered in my ears "Na Shaher Dekho Na Biya Ba Dekho
Khuda Ka Ek Naam-o-Nishan Dekho
Bas Aankh Uthao Aur Maan Dekho"
I just held my breath as I remembered the similar way Munna has whispered in my ears "Na Shaher Dekho Na Biya Ba Dekho
Khuda Ka Ek Naam-o-Nishan Dekho
Bas Aankh Uthao Aur Munna Dekho"
My heart missed several beats, I almost stopped breathing, all I could hear was Munna's voice and nothing else, the breath that fall on my ears reminded me of Munna and only Munna, it was as if I was sitting with Munna and not her husband
Then I heard his voice again, "breathe Geet"
Then as Rehan proceeded to say, "Tumhari Khubsoorati Ne Khuda Se Khata Kara Di
Kahi Khud Se Nazar Na Lag Jaye Soch Kar Tumhe Nazar Na Di"
Maan whispered, "par Geet tumhe to khuda ne nazar di hain na"
I could not understand what to think, I just fixed my eyes on the screen.
Even I saw Munna on the screen
What Geet did not know was that Maan has adorned a beard and a turban by now and poor girl thought that she was imagining Munna in Maan
As the movie proceeded it was becoming very difficult for her to sit straight every passing second was giving her the feeling that Munna was near her, she even started doubting, that has Pinky told Maan about Munna, maybe that's why he is behaving so much like him.
Then Rehan said, "hum se door jaoge kaise?
dil se hume nikalo ge kaise?
hum woh khooshboo hain jo sanso main baste hain
khood ki sanso ko rok paoge kaise?"
And Maan whispered, "tum to saanse bhi rok leti ho Geet, tabhi to dil se nikaal diya apne pyaar ko bhola diya apne yaar ko"
She wanted to run away she wanted to shout, but she was caged between these people, she sighed helplessly.
She felt that the heavens were laughing at her plight, it was as if cupid was playing hide and seek with his wife and using her as a tree behind which he hid, she cursed herself, she was soaked in sweat, she felt as if heart her would burst anytime
Then the scene came where Rehan makes Zooni feel him "Kya tum mujhe dekh sakti ho zooni
Nahin
Kaisi hain meri awaaz
Jaise toofan se pehle baadlo ki jaraz
Kaisi hain meri mahak
Jaise pehli barish ke baad mitti ki aha
Kaisa hain mera ehsaas
Jaise fakeer ke vesh main shahzaada"
Maan whispered, "phir poochta hoan tumse, tum to dekh sakti ho, mehsoos kar sakti ho, sun sakti ho, phir Geet kahan khata ho gayi batao"
Geet did not know what to say or how to react
Her every nerve shouted that he was Munna, she was horrified by her thoughts, her heart was betraying her'. She was afraid, she has read in many magazines that husbands don't like when wife refer about their first love.
And in her case hoe will her husband accept the truth that she was, she is and she always will be helplessly in love with only one person.
No she scolded herself, she has to keep her madness in close chambers of her bleeding heart, and she can't do this. What if her husband thinks bad about her parents' no she told herself she has to control herself.
She was trembling, Maan could feel her shivering heart, though physically she was normal but the turbulence of her heart reached his, how it cannot when she was his life his heart and his soul, he wanted to go away from there, he could not tolerate her uneasiness, he was sure she is now cursing herself, he was about to stand when Adi pulled his hand that was placed on the back of the sofa seat, he sat and concentrated on the plan
As Zooni looked at Rehan but he did not pay any attention, she was like what is my mistake she said
Bhool karke humse koi bhool hui ho
To bhool samajh kar bhoola dena
Par bholaana sirf bhool ko
Galti se bhi hume na bholaana
Rehan suddenly stopped, She continued and said
Tere dil mein meri saanson ko panah mil jaaye,
Tere ishq mein meri jaan FANAA ho jaaye
As he said those words, his hand fell, no not on its own but Adi pushed it down signaling to come to his senses and hold her. He snaked his hands around her waist and as she stiffened and looked at him, he turned around and smiled at her
As the words rang in Geet's mind she felt Maan's hand on her waist, she looked at him, it was dark the only light that came was from the TV screen, but she could clearly see his eyes, she did not notice that Sur was no more on their lap, even she failed to know that Pinky, Adi and elders have left the room. She looked at him mesmerized, what she saw was not Maan but Munna, the same face adorned with a beard and a turban, smiling eyes looking at her, she did not understand that it was not her imagination but the reality suddenly the TV was switched off, and he cupped her face and said,
Bhool karke humse koi bhool hui ho
To bhool samajh kar bhoola dena
Par bholaana sirf bhool ko
Galti se bhi hume na bholaana
Geet tum mujhe bhool to nahin gayi
She sighed and lowered her eyes, he lifted her chin and kissed her forehead and said, "meri yaad aayi Geet" she looked at him with questioning eyes, he understood, "I am not your imagination but I am here in front of you in real" she sniffed and tears started flowing from her eyes endlessly, he hugged her and held her near him, he wanted to sooth her but did nothing, he knew if he held her so near it would be enough to console her.
When she was done and was a little light at heart, he said, "Sur is our son Geet" she nodded, "yes" he said, "you did not tell me" she hugged him tight, "then you would have left everything and returned" he sighed still hugging her, "and you did not want me to leave my family reunion task, why Geet?" she closed her eyes, "he is no more with me, he is now someone else's son" he asked, "why did you let him part from you?" she came out of his hug, and turned her back to him, "Munna, I don't know what happened? When I saw that lady, all I could see was you, there was something in her that was so much like you, I could not help myself, when she opened her eyes and asked for his child, I don't know what happened, I just asked them to give my son to her, I am sorry Munna, I am sorry, I could not even cherish your son, I am sorry"
He turned her to face him, "you know why you did that" she said, "I cannot understand why" he cupped her face, "because you saw me in her" she rubbed her temples, "but why" he guided her hands and slowly removed his turban and then beard, her eyes widened in shock, he said, "because she is my sister and I Maan Singh Khurana am Munna"
