Last days :Maaneet OS

Today is the worst day in Maan's life.Today he realized that his wife Geet will leave him at any time.She is suffering from cancer.Though Maan was a rough and tough man Geet's diseases formed tears in his eyes.Suddenly he remembered their conversation.

Flashback...
Geet was draped in a maroonish red saree and sang dancing around Maan in a seductive manner:Ghunji Si Hai Sari Fiza Jaise Bajti Ho Shehnaiyaan
Leherati Hai Mehki Hawa Gungunati Hain Tanhaiyaan
Sab Gaate Hain Sab Hi Madhosh Hain
Hum Tum Kyun Khamosh Hain
Saaz - E- Dil Chedo Na
Chup Ho Kyun Gaavon Na
Aao Na.. Ao Na... Aao Na... Aao Na...(Kyun Ho Gaya Na).
Maan did'nt mind her.
Finally he lost his patience.
M:What nonsense is this Geet?
G:Maan..you are so unromantic.
M:I don't believe in romance.It's so boring.
G:I love romance.
M:So funny.
Maan started walking away.Geet held his hand.
G:Maan...i have a wish.If my death is predictable..i mean if you ever come to know i am going to die please be romantic during my last days.I want to have a romantic candle light dinner, and rain dance with you.I would like to get a surprise gift on my birthday.And more than that i want to hear you saying 'I love you' to me.
M:Nonsense.I don't believe in giving gifts on birthday.Infact i don't believe in celebrating birthday.It's meant only for kids.Candle light dinner will fill the room with mosquitoes and doing rain dance is mad.I hate saying 'I love you'.It's too filmy.
Geet became dull.

Present...
Maan shed tears:I will fulfil your wishes Geet.

Maan went near Geet.He caressed her hair:Geet!
He looked at her emotional.
G:What happened Maan?
M:Nothing.Dress up.Let us go out for dinner.
G:Now?
M:Yes.Immediately.
G:Why are you in a hurry?I am not in a mood to go out.
M:Come on Geet.Get ready fast.
G:Ok...don't get angry always.I will dress up now.

They went to a restaurant.Geet was surprised to see candle light dinner there.
G:Maan!
M:Specially for you my dear wife.
G:I can't believe that you arranged candle light dinner for me.You called me 'dear' also.After the honeymoon period now only you called me by sweet names.
He smiled.
They started having dinner.
G:Can i feed you?
M:What's the need for feeding me?
Geet got irritated:You are so unromanic.You can never change.
She concentrated on eating.
Maan watched her eating while he was eating.
Slowly he said:
Geet...will you feed me?
She was surpised.She was excited.
Geet fed him.
Maan fed her back surprising her.

The next day...
Maan saw rain drops falling down.Immediately he grabbed Geet's hand and ran out.
M:Let us dance Geet...
Geet was again surprised.
M:I don't know to dance.But hold me and make me dance.
She held him and danced. Maan felt unknown pleasure.
Their hearts sang:Kehte hain:
Khuda ne iss jahaan mein
Sabhi ke liye kisi na kisi ko hai banaaya
Har kisi ke liye
Tera milna hai uss rab ka ishaara
Maano mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye

Kuch toh hai tujh se raabta
Kuch toh hai tujh se raabta
Kaise hum jaane, hume kya pata
Kuch toh hai tujh se raabta
Tu humsafar hai, phir kya fikar hai
Jeene ki wajah hi yehi marna issi ke liye
Kehte hain:
Khuda ne iss jahaan mein
Sabhi ke liye kisi na kisi ko hai banaaya
Har kisi ke liye...(Agent Vonod).


After a few days...
It was Geet's birthday.When she opened her eyes Maan sat near her:Happy birthday my dear wife...
He gave her a navy blue saree and accessories.She was surprised.She was surprised to see long earrings and nose stud.Maan used to hate her wearing long heavy earrings and nose stud.
G:Long earrings ad nose stud?You have no problem withme wearing them?
M:No.You wear what you like.
G:Thank you so much Maan.
G:I just can't believe that a stingy man like you spent money on my clothes and ornaments...
M:Anything for a surprise birthday gift.
They smiled.
She came wearing the saree and ornaments.She looked gorgeous.She was surprised to see the birthday cake as Maan never believed in cake cutting.
M:Your favourite chocolate flavoured cake.
She smiled.
She cut the cake and fed Maan.At the same time he put a small piece in her mouth.

She became very emotional.She was surprised.Though Maan loved her he never said 'I love you' to her.He thought admitting his love will decrease the power of his manliness.
She smiled.Her eyes were full of tears expressing her happiness.
G:Maan...Thanks a lot for fulfilling my wishes.All my dreams have come true.I am so happy now.I can't believe that you said you love me.First time you said 'I love you' to me.Now i don't mind dying.

Her words pricked his heart:Geet...don't talk like that.You will never die.
Geet chuckled:How is it possible?We all have to die one day.
M:Ya...but...
G:But i hope i will be able to live in your heart forever.
M:Yes Geet.You will always be there in my heart.
Suddenly Geet felt like fainting.
M:Geet!
He held her.
Her nose started bleeding heavily.Maan could'nt bear it.
G:Maan!
Uttering his name she took her last breath.
Maan screamed loudly:Nooo!

Flash back...
Once when Geet wore long earrings.Maan got angry.
M:Remove it Geet.If you don't obey me you can go back to your house.I can live alone without you.
Geet suppressed her pain and ran away bursting into tears.In that anger he did'nt even try to pacify her.

Present...
Now Maan understand living alone without Geet is hard.He cried loudly:Sorry Geet...
His heart cried thinking of Geet:
Mana Bikhra hun me, mene khwab firoye the...Teri saanso me gum hun abhi , teri chahat adhuri hai...
Ab to reh gayi hai tanhayiaan, fir b saath tu mere hai...Teri sanso me gum hun abhi, meri chahat adhuri hai...
Dur jitna bi tu mujhse , utna pas tere me...[
koi gam na hoga mujhe agar khwabo me tum aaoge...
Tere ehsaas me dooba is kadar me...Ab to jeena hai mujhko is ehsaas me...
Haan bikhar gaya hun me...par teri yado ki baho ka sahara ab bi hai mujhe...
