Tanha //Concept justification page 70 / 19 july - Page 26

Maan had done with his breakfast.

Really?? But what he ate ? 🤔

Just half of Parantha….When he created this big scene.So much drama for this food why he just had this bit ?

What about Geet ? Poor girl she had such an unbearable pain in her hands.But this lil bit interaction with Maan had created a horrific image of Maan in her mind and heart.Even after had strong urge to put heart out.To cry aloud she couldn't. Just due to him.His devilish acts forced her to keep mum.

'Maan aap aur nahi lan-gay ?' standing besides Maan..Geet said hesitatingly finding him wiping hands after little bit of food he had.

'I have done? The super hit emotional scene you created. I m full with that even with that so no need of extra' sliding plate he said. 'You can have yours.I am going ' Without waiting any reaction from Geet..Maan leaves dinning area

'Nakul..Nakul..' Maan screamed aloud near the stairs

''Ji Sir '' poor soul came running.Even he hadn't seen Maan doing all this before.

'I am in conference hall .Don't disturb me in any condition okey.Aur Geet ko khana khilla dena' Maan looked around for Geet's presence. Whether she is listening to him or not...Like he wanna hide his concern from herself

'Ji Sir' Nakul nodded his head like any loyal person

Poor girl she was not able to eat properly with her hands.Especially any Parantha. Its saltiness was giving more n more trouble to her hands.So she took bit cornflakes with spoon and went to her room.

'What happened to Maan Sir Nakul Bhai ?' arranging Kitchen Deepak sadly questioned.

'Even I am not able to understand. Maan Sir aise to nahi hai..Deepak I noticed one thing..unhone breakfast ready to karwa liya.But he haven't have any thing . He was too upset...' confused Nakul seconds Deepak

Maan he hadn't any meeting.He handn't any work but he was sitting alone in his chair for hours...But no one had courage to question him why he told that he had any meeting

In Room 😲

Unbearable pain and mental torture...only girl of her parents might never ever have expected this on first day of her married life.No one had courage to call doctor or to take her.All this had started to show results in hours.She had high fever.No one came to look after her just for once.Nakul and Deepak were thinking to let her take rest after what happened with her.But they were not aware in which condition she was.

Around 2

Deepak gave knock at door.

'Geet Didi lunch is ready ..You wanna come down or yaha he laga de?' He repeated twice thrice...But no answer.He left as he came.

Deepak again called Geet around 2:30 but no response.

'Nakal Bhai...Geet Didi ne is baar bhi koi response nahi diya.She hasn't come outside once since morning...I think we should tell Maan Sir' he gave his opinion.

'Maan Sir ! He strictly warned not to disturb him.Agar unko bataya k Geet Didi ne koi response nahi diya.I don't know how he will react.Its better we should check once.She is just like little sister to us.If she has any problem its our duty to help her.' He grabbed Deepak's hand and ran upstairs toward room

They knocked door so many times but after getting no response they decided to go inside.Door was not locked as Geet knew Maan might come back any time so she had just closed door without locking it.

Nakul gave a push to door calling Geet's name.

Even she not responded them when they were near to her bed.She was sleeping

'Nakul Bahi AC is on but look at Geet Didi's face itna sweat. Aur agar Didi so rahi hoti to itna bulaane k baad respond to karti.I think there is some other matter.' Deepak whispered

With shivering hand Nakul touched Geet on forehead.'Geet Didi'

But suddenly he took his hand back ' Hey Bhagwaan ...'

'Kya hua ' surprisingly Deepak said

'She is in high fever.She is burning..Deekho Geet Didi k hath...What Maan Sir did to her.This is due to that . A girl who hasn't seen kitchen once at her home Suddenly she had this much torture .Yeh to hona he tha.Uper se koi medical aid nahi.' wiping his eyes Nakul said sadly.

'Now what to do.Maan Sir ko batana hoga.?'

'Unko to jo batana bata dete hai.Let me call doctor first.' with determination Nakul said

' But without telling him any thing how can we call doctor.Nakul Bhai ?'

'She is a human first...What Maan Sir is doing wo to kissi janwar k sath bhi nahi hota..We are here in this house from years.Its our duty to look after each and every one in this house. Maan Sir jo karte hai karne do mere sath...Main keh dunga maine bulaya hai doctor ko...'

'Okey you call the doctor.Main Maan Sir ko inform karta hu.Batana to hoga he.'saying this Deepak went out to inform Maan

Nakul called Doctor from landline

In Confence hall

No one was there.Sitting in his chair was in deep thought from hours..He came out of his thoughts when he heard Deepak calling him

'Maan Sir...Maan Sir..' Breathless Deepak yelling aloud came to him

'Deepak I strictly warned not to disturb me.If u r here to ask me for lunch. Mujhe nahi karna.Tum jayo ' Maan said without listening what he want to say

'Nahi Maan Sir wo ..'

'What I said samjh anhi aaya'

'Maan Sir Geet Didi ko bahut tez fever hai.She is unconcious. Humne kai baar lunch k liye kaha .But when we hadn't have any response from her. Unke room main jaaker bulaya fir bhi koi answer nahi . She was totally in sweat even in AC.When Nakul Bahi checked she was in high fever.' finally he said what he want to

'What ?'.shocked Maan .'Let me call doctor first.' He was about to dial doctor

'Sir wo wo Nakul Bahi has called doctor' Deepak says in low ton.

'Theek hai challo' saying this he put his phone in pocket with right hand.His left hand was in other pocket.

'Maan Sir apke hath per kya hua.' Deepak noticed some kind of injury at Maan's hand

' Nothing tum challo' he avoided to tell

'Ji Sir'

Maan came out of Hall in hurry and Deepak followed him.But Gardner Ram Lal stopped Deepak

'Deepak what's wrong with Maan Sir ?' he puts question to Deepak

'Kyo ?' surprisingly Deepak said

'Some hours back I was watering plants.I found Maan Sir standing at the window conference hall walli .Which opens in garden.You know wht I watched ?

'What ?'

'Maan Sir broke glass of a foto frame.He gave severe cuts on both his hands. Before I could reach him.He had done this.Unhone mujhe notice nahi kiya.Aur shyad meri itni himmat bhi nahi k unse iska reason jaan sakta.But plz don tell him k maine yeh sabh bataya tumko.' he folded hands requesting in front of Deepak

'Maan Sir why he is doing so.' Deepak nodded his head thinking

'If u don't have any trust on me come with me I ll show u blood outside window.'Rammu grabbed Deepak's hand

'No Rammu Kaka I have trust on u.Becoz Maan Sir can do this I know.But why yeh nahi pata..Okey fir baat karte hai.Geet Didi ko bahut fever hai.' saying this he also ran behind Maan.

In room

Nakul was standing besides Geet's bed waiting for Doctor

'Nakul do you have called the Doctor ? ' Maan shouted entering room

'Ji Sir..Dr saab is coming in five minutes.'

'Okey go and bring ice water..iske maathe (forehead) per paani ki patti (wet cold water towel )rakhne k liye' he was behaving like nothing had happened in the morning and he was much worried about her...

Nakul also left.Maan set next to Geet .Brushed her hair.Wiped salty sweat from her forehead with his injured hand .A tear drop from his eyes fell on her cheek.'Devil..I m Devil..Ya I m Devil..' He wanted to say some thing.He wanted to put his soul out but doctor came just fter some time.He checked Geet. Condition of her hands was not hidden from him when he gave injection to Geet...She had 103 dgrees of fever

'Mr Khuraana how this happened...''

'Wo Doctor saab its Geet Didi's first day here.She wanted to cook herself for all as per custom. She even not heard us.She was grating carrot for halwa then yeh sabh ho gaya.She haven't done any work at her father home.I think ussi ki wajah se yeh sabh hua.' Before Maan could say anything as a loyal man came in front

'But you should have called me before ?' confused Dr Khanna said

'Wo doctor saab Geet Didi was alrite before.But in lil time inko fever ho gaya.'

'Aisa he hota hai.I have give her injection and let me put bandage on her hands Mr Khuraana she needs extra care for some days.otherwise infection ho sakti hai' Dr strictly warned

'I will take care Dr.' Maan assured

Dr left after giving aid to her.

'Nakul Geet k liye vegetable soup bana do..' Maan asked in low tone

'Maan Sir I don't know why you are doing all this.But jo apne apne hands k sath kiya wo bhi humko pata hai.Rammu kaka ne...na batane ko kaha tha...that he watched u injuring ur hands.Dadi Maa is not here.But u always took us as member of family .So I have rite to ask u why u r doing this' Nakul burst

'I don have any answer Nakul ...even if u r aware what I did.Geet k liye soup bana do ?'

'Deepak se kehta hu.First you show me your hands.Let me apply medicine.Dr. se aap ki baat batata to wo doubt karte.If u want I can call Dr Sharma to check u.'.Nakul held Maan's hand

'Nakul I will take care of me.Tum jayo.Plz.I beg u ' Maan binds his hands

' Okey Maan Sir.Aap maan-ney waale nahi.But plz take this medicine for your hand'He placed tube on Maan's hand and leaves.

He placed tube on side table.Wiped Geet's face with napkin back coming her hair with hand.Placed other wet napkin on her forehead which Nakul had brought after Maan asked.

He was restless why ? If he did all this intentionally why he was restless?

Or he was feeling guilty.? Or he hadn't expected this result of his doing.

Maan changed napkin on Geet's forhead and dialed some one

'Hello...I want to meet you ? If u plz come to KM' there was lots of pain in his voice.

'I m coming but why you seems upset. ?' Person on other side questioned.

'Aap aa ja-ea .We ll have a talk ?'he cuts fone.

Doctor's injection and Maan's cold water napkin treatment worked. Geet's fever was going down in hour's time.But she was under effect of injection so still sleeping.

'Sir may I come in ?' Deepak asked

'Ya ?'

'Sir wo niche apse milne..'Before he could complete Maan interrupted

'I was waiting...ask Milli (deepak's younger sister ) to come here.Geet k pass rahe...Main aata hu'

When Milli came in just two minutes Maan ran downstairs ordering to look after Geet properly

In Living room

' I m so sorry for the inconvenience if u have to wait due to me' Maan said politely touching that man's feet.

'No no at all.How are you ?' That man grabs Maan from shoulders and embraces him

'Ask how is she ? How is Geet.?' Maan yelled

'Means?'

'She is in too much pain just due to me...How can I do this ?' He narrated whole story to surprised confused man in front of him ..with over flooded eyes

'Maan beta don't feel guilty.I know what kinda man you are.Tumne yeh sabh intentionally nahi kiya..Your intentions are else.'

'Intentions when I was doing this..Why I was thinking else...jo kush pehle hua sabh yaad aa gaya.I became devil.How I forgot my intentions are not to take revenge.How can I do this with a girl who means every thing to me. Plz forgive me .I can't do any thing more' Maan's pain was unbearable

'Who you are this Mohinder Handa know...? I am saying you to do this.U have to.Why you are asking for forgiveness..I should ask for it.Kya main Geet ko dekh sakta hu.?' He was Mohinder the great businessman Geet's father.Maan had called him to meet.

'She is your daughter.It your daughter's house..You need not to ask me.' he said with bit smile on his face.Untill now he successfully hided his hands from his Father in Law/

'But main durr se he dekhuga...what we have planned uski Maa ko bhi nahi pata.Uske pass jaakar I don wanna be weak ? ' Mohinder said

'U have this condition think about me.'

'But beta apko itna to karna he padega.Apki haalat kya hai apke haath bata rahe hai ..' he grabbed Maan's both hands.

'Wo yeh to...' he was searching for words

'You punished yourself too.No one can like you Maan.Only you can take care of my daughter'

'Okey let it go Papa.Before she regains her consciousness aap usko dekh lijiye ...I promise you to take care of her.'

'I have full faith on you Beta Ji..Is liye na to maine uski Maa ko bataya what we planned just like you hided from your Daddi Maa'

Maan gave a slight smile and both leave toward room where Geet was on bed.
