But the moment maan opened the door of dadi's room ….she stood still at her place with her eyes wide open …which soon became mist with brimming tears in her hazel …
While maan saw the most expected sight which he was avoiding since long back …then his heart felt like crushed bruthely looking at her standing still with her eyes wide open tear threatening to fall any moment …
Gathering all the courage he placed a hand on her shoulder …making her swallow the lumb formed in her throat …breathing heavy out of shock she looked at him with cluster of emotions …eyes teary with pain ..face depected anger n somewhere hurt …many questions running in her mind making her gasp …
Least did he knew it was his painful eyes making her state even worst …it was the fact that she created so much distance in between them that lead him hiding his most painful truth from his own best friend …the thought of him being alone was the main reason of her pain ….her hurt …her tears …the regret was thr which he was not able to fanthom …
Still she looked towards dadi …who was lying on a bed like a dead soul with numerious tubes n drips in her hands …surrounded with machines …n with a nurse by her side …
They both entered in the room holding each others hand …with maan not dairing to even look into her eyes n geet shocked to see her super cool dadi like that the person his best friend loves the most in this whole world in such a state …the mere thought of him being alone at the time all this happened made her shiver …but the question still remained un-answered hw does it happened …n when …
But now she got to know y he didn't called her ever …y he became soo damn serious ..why he joined KC as the MD inbetween his studies …..n y all the media were back of him 5 years later n all of a sudden had started saying of KC to be bank corrupted soon …
While maan was still confused looking at her lost sitting beside dadi …coz according to him she would have either blasted over him for hiding such a big part of his life …or else would have been in tears …
But she was sitting numb …now he was fearing the worst from her …but next he was shocked like anything seeing her beautiful hazels full of pain which were once use to be filled with mischieve …this was the last thing he wanted to see ever …her best friend in pain …
While She was chocked to voice out anything …the only thing came out of her throat taking heavy breath feeling suffocated with her guilt building in her …
.
Geet : kaise …
Maan ( taking a deep breath gathering all the courage …remembering that dreathful day of his life which turned his life upside down ) : KC ki site par ek accident hua tha dadi visit par thi she got injured n then slipped into coma ..
Geet : par ..
Maan : its been 5 years …2 saal pehle dadi ko hoosh tou aaya par ..
Geet : par …??
Maan : she is paralyized …
For a second thr was a complete silence in the room …the only audible sound was geet's heavy breath n her gasping in attempts to stop her tears …while maan was just seeing at dadi saying n remembering the worst days of his life when he had to took hold of his family business …the responsibilities of an elder brother along with the responsibilities of KC …the worst condition of his dad's company …n he being all alone in the mid of all the problems with a 15yrs Vicky beside him n his dadi infront of him lying like a statue …n a tear skipped from his eyes … but soon a smile appeared on his face when he opened his mist eyes to see geet's hand infront of his face carrying that tear in her hand making it soak in her skin ….😳
Geet looked at him with a pleasant smile n watery eyes shooking her head trying to tell him not to shed tears …while he admired her ..her care …her innocent eyes that were showing something the trust n assurance which gave him courage to open up in front of her without any hesitation …smiling he said
Maan : Dadi that's geet …meri jangli Billi …aapko bataya tha na ..loo aaj mil lo iss devil se jisne mujhe poore itne saaloon tak apne phrank se sataya hai …
He turned towards geet and saw her confused face n smilingly told her that dadi is able to listen n understand everything going around her but cant express herself …she can shed tears when emotional but cant move her lips to smile if she is happy …she is having her whole body paralyized still brain is working which is the only hope that we can see her normal one day …
Listening this geet smiled delightedly …amusing maan with the happiness showing on her face ..n then holding dadi's hand she started her non-stop talks ..
Geet : hi dadi …apna intro abb mien aapko deti hoon who bhi sahi se ….dekho iss Sado Singh Khurana ko …kya bol raha hai …idiot aapko pata hai aap jab 5 class mien hostel milne aaye thay uss ke baad poora badal gaye yeh …aur ek dum playboy ki tarha behaive karne lage …uhh dadi mujhe aapko itni saari batien batani hai na …sur who doosra idiot Visky uss ki list tou maan se bhi lambi hai …London uni ki koi larki janab se bachi nahi hai …par dadi I seriously wanna say …aap ne kaise inn dono ko ek saath bardaasht kiya …pata hai mujhe ….meri super sexy dadi tou boar hugayi hugi ek duffer Singh aur dusre Sado singh ke saath …but don't worry mien aagayi hoon na ab dekhna aapko boar nahi hune doongi aur inn 19 century ke models ke bech rehne bhi nahi dongi …
All the while dadi was seeing her with great love n admiring smiling faintly…. thinking how sweet n innocent this girl is …..how pure heart she possess ..how much she care for maan …she was feeling as if a heavy burden is lifted over from her seeing the delighted smile on her grandson's face looking n admiring his love …that's right he love her …madly deeply ..irrevocabily ..i can clearly see this in his eyes …n the way he broke his inner shell created by him to stop the world seeing his painful heart made it clear to her ….but our geet was going onn n onn about the past n maan's school time mischieves …n then maan stopped her placing his hand over her hold on dadi's hand …
Maan : bas karo geet ….last 17 years ki saari complains aaj hi karni hai …kuch baad ke liye bhi bacha kar rakho ..
Geet : kyun bachao …waise bhi app ne buhat boar kar liya meri super cool dadi ko …I am sure yahan inn ke saath bhi apni who boaring serious talks shoro kar dete huge …( with a painful voice ) aur waise bhi kal ka kiya bharosa ..
Maan (in helpessness) : kal ka bharosa kar bhi lien tou tumhara kya bharosa …
Just then nurse came in room with medicines …but exclaimed in excitement to see dadi smiling for the first time in last 2 years after recovering from Coma …
Nurse : see maan sir … dadi maa is smiling ..she is smiling 4 the first time ..
Maan immediately looked towards dadi soo as geet …
Maan : dadi maa …
This was indeed the happiest moment for maan …n he holded dadi's hand kissed it …with teary eyes ..happy to his dadi improving health ..giving a hope to see his grand-mother to be normal …praying for her holding his breath from the moment he observed her smiling …n geet placed her hand on maan's shoulder tried to console him …but he was at the height of emotional turmoil ..the happiness …n helpessness …n… the bitter memories of that accident was taking a toll …n he stomped .out of the room followed by geet who stopped seeing him standing in the terrace …
Maan was standing thr looking up in the dark sky trying to over come his emotions that he was hiding since last 5 years potraying himself a strong man who can take care of his brother n dadi ….hiding the soft side from the whole world but he knew ….knew it very well the person who know about him in n out is here …the person who can understand every unsaid word of his is beside him now …the person who can read his dark eyes is now here with him infront of whom he will never be able to control his emotions but he knew how soft hearted his jangli billi is …she can never see him in that state so its better not make her cry with the bitter revealation …least did he know she had already seen that pain in his eyes long back …
N here she was standing beside him on the edge of the terrace putting her hand on his that was resting on the rim of the terrace wall intervening their fingers n he hold it even more tight … but the moment he tried to explain her the reason for hiding it all from her …she just hugged him tight …not allowing him to speak further …just made him hide himself in her embrace .. reading the unsaid words ...feeling the pain he was suffering for soo long ...she just wanted to make him free from all worries ...make him smile like before ...and he crushed her into his strong arms …glueing thr bodies together …feeling the lost peace again in his heart ...the restless soul was now having its solace in her embrace ...
Firstly he was astonished with her move …coz he thought she might be angry with him or atleast would be waiting for him to reveal the whole bitter past but what she did just made him forget all his reveries …while she was feeling his pain …the pain which he would have gone through seeing dadi maa like this for years …expierencing the same helplessness that he is suffering from since last 2 years with the fact that he just cant do anything for his dadi maa to recover …
They were friends …grown up young enough to understand every situation of life ….standing in each other embrace …they were experiencing the most different feeling ever .. a feel of belongingness …a feel to be at peace ..thr was no lust …no worldly urges …or physical feeling attached with that hug but still it made them feel like never before …like that's what they needed …like it's the place which they were searching for years in this world ..
They both were shedding silent tears hiding themselves more n more in each others embrace trying to sooth their throbbing heart n guilty mind …soon a smile touched maan's face n geet tighten her hold crying ..sobbing in his embrace …n he slowly uttered making his hold even more tighter if possible near her ear ..
Maan : sorry ..
To which he just got a slight slap on his back by a sobbing geet …
Geet : don't u dare say that …
A tear skipped from his eyes n she caressed his shoulder in the hug to stop him ..
N he digged his head even more in her shoulder … seaking the long lost solace … for the first time he expreiced a peaceful moment in last 7 years .. even he didn't knew a simple hug by his best friend can make his heart feel soo light afer pouring out all his hidden tears …his fears ..his remorse …
Maan : mien buhat darr gaya tha dadi ko aise dekh kar ðŸ˜â€¦koi nahi tha ..koi bhi nahi tha mere saath …I didn't had anyother option but to make my self like that …par mien dadi ko theek nahi kar paya …she loved me even more than her self n I …
Geet : shhh …aapne kuch galat nahi kiya …see dadi is improving na …wooh theek hujayiengi ….n I am sure she will proud of the fact that u made ur dad's dream come true KC is now the no.1 company is India …she will releaved knowing u have managed to take care of ur brother …😃
Maan : I am sory geet …mene kabhi tumhain call tak nahi ..mene apna vaada tor diya …nahi kiya tumhain tumhare b,day par wish ..mien janta tha tumse baat ki tou kuch chupa nahi paaonga …😊
Geet : par mail tou ki na …aur kya hua agar wish nahi kiya …ill make u pay for this …😆abhi plss aise mat roo na ..mujhe mera Sado friend aise bilkul acha nahi lagta ..
She slightly broke thr hug ..cupping his face in her soft palm ..removing the tears from his face …he also did the same …n both smiled a bit ..feeling light at heart after sharing their sorrows …
Geet ( teasing with a smile ) : kuan kahe ga that the MSK can also cry ..😛
Indeed no will ever imagine the great business tycone to be soo soft hearted …but every human has a child heart in him who needs solace at the difficult time …who needs someone to be bye his side in every difficult time of life .. n person with whom we can share our every feeling without any hesitation …n for them it also thr best friend …n… if they are not thr with each other then no other person will be able to break the hard shell surrounding them …
They were like that …hiding their hearts in a shell …making the world think what they potray ..but in front of each other they r still simple n transparent with no emotions hidden …may be that's coz she never needed him to answer her question ….just a look in his eyes is enough to know his heart …
N here Vicky came to them to call them as Adi has came thr with some files .. but left seeing both thr faces ...guessing its not the time to say something ..
While geet said adjusting his tie 😳😳..n wipping his face for the last time ..seeing straight in to his eyes ..
Geet : dadi maa ke bare mien sochna band karo aur abb jao …mien MERI dadi ka khayaal khud rakhoon gi …samjhe ..n surely yahan se wapis jane se pehle aapko achi si dant parwa ke hi jaongi taa ke phir kisi despo bimbo ke peeche na bhago aap …
While maan just stood seeing her claim over his dadi …how simpily she made all his worries belong to her …how genuinely she tried to made him smile …this can only be his geet …
N he smiled …remembering his fear to make her angery or getting scolded even bitten my her …but just see here she is standing making all his woorries vanish with her smile n sweet talks …
While geet was still looking at him guessing what in his mind n before she could say further he left pecking her forehead slighty …stunning her with his charming smile …but her shocked expression soon changed in to a sweet teary smile as soon as he left the terrace ..
Geet ( with a teary eye ) : sorry maan …mene agar apne aap ko aap se itna door nahi kiya hota tou shayad 5 saal pehle jab aapko apni dost ki sab se ziada zarorat thi mien aapke saath hu pati …….par kismat shayad yeh chahti hi nahi ke hum saath rahein …
Mujhe wapis jana huga …par uss se pehle mien dadi ko theek karne ki poori kushish karoongi ….aur inn 6 months mien saari yaadien apne dil mien sama kar chali jaongi aapki life se humesha ke liye ……apni zindagi mien chaye kale badaloon ko aap tak nahi pohanchne nahi de sakti mien ….aapko iss sab se door rakhne ke liye hi tou itne saal India nahi aayi aur abb apne dil se haar kar aagayi hoon tou poori kushish karoon gi ke aapko kabhi pata na chale ke mien ne kyun aapko kabhi call nahi ki …mien apne best friend ko kabhi kisi problem nahi dekh sakti ..plss babaji maan ki saari problem solve kar dena aur mujhe himmat dena ke mien maan se door ja sakoon …
After some time geet came down the hall n saw maan discussing something with his CEO aditya (adi) n nakul was leaving from thr after informing him about the dinner but he was least bother ….
That's when geet goes towards maan ..n he introduced adi …shocking him with the fact that MSK also have some friends that too a girl …but geet was having some other plans …asking maan to have the dinner first n getting his refusal she was angered n then vicky joined her …n told her to forgot about him having his dinner on time since he never does so …but one angry glare from geet n he was shut …
Next second snaching the file from maan n adi;
Geet : mujhe laga tha KC ke working hours 7:00pm tak hain Mr.aditya ..😡
Making adi shock like anything by her guts in front of his hot headed boss …
Maan : geet plss stop jocking that's important file doo aur vicky geet ko lekar jao n u both have ur dinner …😲
Geet ( glaring dangeriously 2wards Adi) : main aapko 2 options deti hoon ..
1- have ur dinner tonight with us …since u know aaj barish ki depiction hai..😳
2- second take this file n go back from here right now …
the dominating look in her eyes made adi shiver ….while maan n vicky was amused to see her anger …but still its about work maan made n attempt to stop her …only to get a killing glare by his sherni ready to munch him infront of his employee ..
Geet : kuch …kehna hai aapko ..😡😡
Giving up maan stepped back knowing it wont be good to have a talk with her right now infront of adi ….which will defo spoil his dare devil image in his office ..
Maan : nahi …kuch nahi ...mujhe kya kehna kuch bhi nahi ….😆
Geet ; good for u …..so decide karliya Mr.Chachmish
Adi (giving his signature smile ) :eh ehe he eh ….maa'm I guess I better go back …
Geet : smart enough ….but before leaving ek baat sun lijeye …aaj ke baad KM mien 8bje ke baad dekhna mat …samjhe
Adi (with a question mark on his face ) : ji ..????
Geet : u heard it right …jo bhi kaam hai office mien khatam kar lene …yeh ghar hai aur yahan maan apni family ke sath rehte hain …kaam karne ke liye office banaya hai na tou wahin tak rakhoo files ko …
All the vicky was having a hard time to control his laughter seeing his bhai's weird facial expression …n then with her last set of words …he was amused thinking what will be his work holic bhai will doing after coming back home if this actually happens …
Adi left obliging geet's words confused with the way maan was standing mute in front of that girl …least did he know that's the person who can make
The Mann Singh Khurana upside down with just her single word …
They headed towards the dinning area with a shocked maan …n vicky still struggling to over come his laughter n finally the moment geet left them alone going some where else he burst in to a load long laughter …annoying maan ..
Vicky : god I cant believe my eyes …some one just tamed the MSK here in his own house …
But before maan could punch him for annoying him …a voice with full of authority was heard by non other thn his jangli billi …who was coming along with dadi on wheel chair n nurse …
Geet : kisne kaha yeh inn ka ghar hai …
While maan n vicky was shocked beyond words to see his dadi sitting in a wheel chair n for the first time after the accident she was looking quite comfortable while sitting other wise she use to look preety dull or may be tired …maan n vicky came on either side of dadi sitting on hr knee …they holded either of her hands ..
Geet : vicky yeh ghar meri dadi ka hai …n yahan sab se ziada attention bhi unnko milni chahiye na ke inn janab ki stupid si files ko ..
Maan : geet tum dadi ko yahan ..
Geet : abb maan har koi aapki tarha thori na ho sakta hai …..meri bechari dadi uss akele room mien boar hugayi thi iss liye mene socha ke aaj who humare saath dinner table par humien join karein …
Vicky : par dadi itni dair ..
Geet : tou tumko kis ne kaha hai ….elephant ke jitna khane ko …
Listening to this maan n the nurse smiled while vicky was left pouting to which geet made came in front n made him stand behind dadi …putting a hand on his shoulder she gestured him to lift the chair n made her to the floor of dinning area as the dinning table is kept a step above the floor …
Having their dinner with geet's cutie talks n vicky's comments …with maan smiling seeing dadi's contended face ..they all made thr way towards dadi's room making her sleep trio went towards the garden ….n just then it started pouring …first it was just a drizzle which the three os them enjoyed but within minutes it turned to be a stormy rain …
Maan n Vicky were running towards the shades while geet was enjoying the rain spreading her hands …moving in a circle …feeling every bit of the rain drop on her face ..
making maan loose his senses in her serene beauty …n perfect figure flashing in the white skin fitted shirt she was wearing …
Mangal Lakshmi
