Thanks a lot for your likes and comments though I was a little disappointed with the number but its ok. I think all of you want a little faster pace, so after this update (which is on a request), you will see beginning of a small but a different track. I think it will be a change as though not too big in length, it will give a different direction and bring back the interest.
I am very excited about it so hopefully you all will like it too.
Neha / Anu – Thank you so much for your lovely poems.
Also wish all my friends a –
Happy Ganesh Chaturthi
VERY IMPORTANT: Please add ritzypm as buddy to gets PMs for this FF
Chapter 55
Mujhe Apnay Badan Ki Khusbhu Se Masroor Kardo
Mujhe Apni Nazuk Bahon Mein Mehsoor Kardo
Seenay Se Laga K Saaray Gham Door Kardo
Main Tumse juda Na Ho Paon Itna Majboor Kardo
Surkh Honton Se Pilao Ya In Mast Ankhon Se
Main Tere Jism Se Lipta Rahun Itna Choor Kardo
Leke Bahon Mein Tujhe Honton Se Itna Choom Lon
Faslay Sharam-o-Haya K Tum Bhi Door Kardo
Meri Nas Nas Mein Bas Jaye JAAN Pyaar Tera
Main Kissi Or Ko Na Dekhun Itna Maghroor Kardo

A week later
Daadima was vey happy today. It was her birthday and Maan had agreed to take her to Vrindavan.
She could not help but gush over the changes Geet had brought in her oldest grandson. Now days, he smiled often and spent every moment away from his work with his family. He had all his meals except for lunch with them. She was also amazed that Geet finally made him go out and meet his old friends.
But last week she managed to pull of an almost unimaginable feat. After Poonam's death, Maan did not set a foot in temple, even at home. He would stand a little away on festivals but she could make out his heart was not there anymore. He also accompanied her to ISKON or any other temple if she wanted to but will just stay in his car.
But Geet had changed all that. Meera had told her how Maan had agreed for the visit to holy city without a blink of an eye.
---Flashback---
"Maan…apko pata hai is baar Daadima ka Birthday weekend pe pad raha hai. We should do something special for her."
[Maan…you know this time Daadima's birthday is on a weekend. We should do something special for her.]
"Hmmm…woh to hai lekin kya. Pehle gifts ke bare mein sochte hain"
[Hmmm…that is true but what? Let's think about the gifts first.]
"Lekin kya gift karenge bhai…meri toh kuch samajh nahi a raha hai."
[But what gift to buy Bhai…I am not able to get any ideas.]
"I have an idea…us din Daadima was talking to her friend on phone. She was telling me that she was jealous of her as she just went to a char dhaam ki teerth yatra."
[I have an idea…other day, Daadima was talking to her friend on phone. She was telling me that she was jealous of her as she just went to a holy pilgrimage of the four holy places.]
Dev Sniggered – "Ok Geet, but even with Bhai's powers, we can not complete chaar dhaam ki yatra in one day."
Geet sighed – "Of o…Dev tum bhi na. What I mean is that why not we plan a day trip to Vrindavan. It is close by and I am sure Daadima will really like it as a gift."
Meera stiffened as she heard Geet. She was worried about Maan Bhai's reaction and did not want any new problems in their relationship. She tried to sign to Geet and dissuade her from discussing any further. But she was shocked with Maan's reaction.
"You are absolutely right. We should plan a trip to Vrindavan. Waise bhi Daadima told me she wanted to go to Baanke Bihari temple. She will definitely enjoy a day out."
Meera spoke very softly – "Lekin Bhai, aapko bahar akela chode ke jaana unhein acha nahi lagega. Hum kisi working day mein chale jayenge wahan."
[But Bhai, she will not like to go inside leaving you alone outside. We will go on some working day.]
Maan looked at Meera understanding her unspoken words but Geet was confused – "Lekin Meera why will he wait inside. Don't tell me ab inhein temple se koi allergy hai."
Meera and Dev waited for their bro's outburst. Maan looked at Geet's excited face full of expectations. He nodded – "Nahi mujhe temple se yah God se koi shikyat nahi. Jitna maanga us se zayda hi diya hai unhone. I will come inside to thank him. You guys go ahead and plan."
Meera and Dev were shocked but then smiled as Geet just shouted in excitement making lists of thing to do.
---Flashback ends---
They started quite early and reached Vrindavan by 7:00 AM. First thing they did after parking the car at guest house was to walk to Baanke Bihari's mandir to participate in Shringar and morning Aarti. Amidst conchs and manjire, God was decorated and the prayer started. Devotees clapped their hands and later took the Aarti and Prasad.
After Darshan, all went to halwais in the back street where fresh breakfast was being served.
"Maan, chaliye na….kachodi ka naashta karte hain."
"Are lekin this is so unhealthy. Upar se all this oily stuff is not good for Daadima. Let's go back to guest house and have breakfast there."
"Maan!!! Aaj Daadima ka Birthday hai and ek din oily khane se kuch nahi hota. Daadima, aap bataiye, what you want to do and we will do it accordingly."
Vicky, Meera and Dev, all were tempted by the aroma of food which was engulfing the whole road. Kachodi, Jalebis and fresh Rabri was being made but they were all scared of Maan's anger.
Daadima also wanted to taste everything and mustered her courage due to Geet's support – "Haan man toh humara bhi kar raha hai."
Maan sighed in disbelief and shook his head. But then he smiled seeing victorious smile on his wife's face as she dragged everyone to the shop. They all had the tasty breakfast there and then moved to some other temples before they close for Darshan at 12:00.
Daadima felt little tired and all moved to guest house. Geet had planned family cooking time and hence everyone including Vicky prepared lunch. Maan made fresh egg less pasta whereas Dev and Meera were given responsibility of making potato sabzi. Geet made dough and then plain parantha's with help of Vicky and finally made halwa. Again Vicky helped by crushing the nuts for the halwa. Everyone sat on mats in the garden and had picnic.
Later Daadima went for a nap. Vicky wanted to go to a local fair and Dev-Meera and Maan-Geet took him there. Fair was in the grounds of a temple itself. First they went inside the temple where a beautiful murti of Radha-Krishan was there. Girls were playing Dandiya and Meera mentioned how well Geet danced and sung remembering their first meet on Janmashtami. Maan insisted Geet on joining the dandiya and pushed her with other girls. Geet played with the sticks turning and twirling. Maan simply adored his angel dressed in yellow salwar suit with her red dupatta flying around her as she moved.
As they prayed and moved forward, Panditji gave prasad along with flowers and fruits. When it was Maan's turn, Pandiji was left with no flowers so he gave him a garland made out of marigold flowers. Maan wrapped it around his hand and came out on to the grounds.
Later as Dev and Meera got busy with Vicky at the fair, Maan took Geet to explore another part of the temple which had old idols and some ruins. There were not many people around here and Geet admired the ruins. She stood in front of an old wall where some carvings of Lord Krishna dancing with gopis were etched. She ran her hand on top of one of such carving when Maan touched her hand and traced it along with her.
"Geet?"
Geet looked at him – "Ji?"
"Kya yeh pehna sakta hoon tumhein?'
[Can I make you wear this?]
Maan gestured at the garland in his hand.
Geet looked at him emotionally and nodded her head at his unspoken words.

Har ko jeet banakar badi sachchai se
prem ne dil pe woh chaahat ka asar daalaa hai
Aaj inkaar ki surat hi nahi hai koi
haar heeron ka nahi phoolon ki jaymaalaa hai
Maan un-wrapped the garland and very lovingly put it around her neck.
It seemed so ethereal as he put it around her. She remembered Jaimala at her wedding and the significance of his act today did not look any less.
"Geet, waise toh humari shadi ho chuki hai lekin phir bhi aisa lagta hai jaise mano abhi bhi ek doosre ko hum jaan rahe hain…ek dusre ke kareeb aa rahe hain. Humari shadi ke waqt to mujhe hosh hi nahi tha but well, I want to relive every moment of it again."
[Geet though we are married but I still feel that we are still knowing each other…coming closer to each other. I was not in my senses during the wedding but well, I want to relive every moment of it again.]
Kuch baatein ho chuki kuch baatein abhi hai baaki
Bauchhar ek padi hai barasaatein abhi hai baaki
Khulke naachane ko bekal man ka mayuraa hai
Milan abhi aadhaa adhuraa hai
A tear trickled down Geet's cheek as she felt his love. Maan leaned forward and kissed her forehead where her sindoor was visible.
Geet shied at his gesture and felt like she married him again today. She ran a little away from him and hid behind a wall. Maan silently walked and stood at the wall perpendicular to her. He held her hand squeezing it a little. Both closed their eyes feeling each other in the peaceful and pure environment of the temple calming their thudding hearts.
Mile honge radhaa-krishna yahi kisi ban mein
Prem maadhuri unki basi hai pawan mein
Aur bhi paas aa gaye hum is divya vaataavaran mein
Ek man diyaa hai kitni saugaatein abhi hai baaki
Bauchhar ek padi hai barasaatein abhi hai baaki
Hame milaane mein sabaka sahiyog puraa hai
Milan abhi aadhaa adhuraa hai
After few moments of being together, they smiled and walked forward as they saw Vicky running towards them. Vicky pulled her to local shops where Geet started looking at some bangles. Maan stood with Dev chatting but his eyes were still on Geet as she looked at the different colors along with Meera. She tried few Green bangles and tinkled them in her hand. She could feel his gaze as well as his smile at her selection. She felt like a newly married woman with garland in her neck, bangles in her hand and his kiss adorning her maang. She blushed profusely at the mere thought as her eyes met his and she knew that he was thinking the same.
Jharna suhaana aisa prem geet gaaye
Aane waale kal ke mithe sapane dikhaye
Ye ehsaas peheli baar dil ko gudgudaaye
Sab din abhi hai baaki sab raatein abhi hai baaki
Bauchhar ek padi hai barasaatein abhi hai baaki
Ched diyaa purvaa ne tan kaa taan puraa hai
Milan abhi aadhaa adhuraa hai
Later they picked up Daadima and went to ISKON temple as their last stop. It was late by the time they retuned back and after freshening, retired to bed. Both kept on thinking of their day and the strengthening of their feelings which they felt pulsating in their veins. Slowly with a sigh of contentment both drifted to their dream world.
Pyaar ne pucha zindagi kya hai?
humne kaha tere bin kuch nahi.
usne fir pucha dard kya hai?
humne kaha jab tu sang nahi.
pyaar ne pucha mohabbat kaha hai?
humne kaha mere dil me kahi.
usne fir pucha khuda kaha hai?
humne ne kaha tujhme kahi.
pyaar ne pucha humse ishq kyu hai?
humne kaha usko bhi pata nahi
usne fir pucha itni bechaini kyu hai?
humne kaha isme kasoor mera nahi.
pyaar ne pucha aetbaar karoge mera?
humne kaha tumse badkar koi nahi.
usne fir pucha saath doge mera?
humne kaha kyu nahi kyu nahi!!!
