THE X EFFECT : thread 2 FINAL PART : page33 - Page 13

After a longgg time, 😳 😳

PART 28

Despite the best efforts from the Khuranas, the news of Maan and Mira filled the Page 3 gossip columns of some local newspapers. Mr. Kapur was devastated. The hope of marrying off his daughter had also diminished. Savitri Devi and Chitranjali were ready to do anything to rectify the damage caused by their son. They informed the college through Nivedita and Juliet immediately called for another PTA meeting.

NT didn't seem satisfied with her deeds. She spread word out there in the campus. She made sure there were vulgar pamphlets relating Maan and Mira on every notice board. The incident turned out to be a subject of gossip and like a Chinese whisper it ended out in a very different way. However the management decided that the fest would go on as it may affect the reputation of MIT.

Canteen

Sasha : hmmm lucky Mira. Kismat achi likh ke layi (with a mock smile) warna yeha pe bohat logo ne try to kiya tha.

Sasha wouldn't have realised the moment she completed the sentence and a slap fell on her face.

She was shocked to find Geet in front of her.

Geet : One more word against my friends and I will pull your filthy tongue out of your mouth and I mean it you b****!!!

Pinky tried to take Geet away from that place as Sasha stood there shocked.

Pinky : Geet tum kis kis ka muh bandh karwaoge? Pura college baat kar rha he

Geet : mujhe ache se malum he kis ka muh bandh karwana he.

Second day of fest, 10:00 am.

The conference hall was full of murmurs and hushed noise. Mr. Kapur tried hard to control his anger as he saw Chitranjali Khurana and Savitri Devi. Mr. Handa was there too. Nivedita mam was standing in a corner ready with her resignation taking upon all the blame. Maan and Mira were standing somewhere behind the crowd of students. Some one from the crowd giggled saying, "arey dulha-dulhan ko agey bhejo" and pushed them forward. Juliet mam instructed them to keep quiet.

Juliet : This is a very sad situation. I would never want us to gather for such a reason..

Mr. Kapur interrupted, "You people are giving speeches when my family's reputation is at stake? If you want to call the registrar here, bring him now. We will get them married right now!!"

Juliet : What nonsense are you talking Mr. Kapur? The maximum I can do is to take action against them for misconduct. It is not my job to get them married.

One of the parents : Why can't you do that and create history like you did by admitting a boy.

Handa : for God's sake, can we talk like adults? Mr. Kapur you were the one who jumped into the conclusion that the kids are in love. Has anyone bothered to know what actually happened? Don't you think its only fair that we give Maan and Mira a chance to explain?

Juliet mam and Savitri Devi were the only people who atleast considered Siddhart Handa's thoughts. But before they could reply Mr. Kapur again started his babbling, "You can talk like that Mr. Handa. Lekin yeha beti to meri he jo badnaam hui he. Wat about that?"

Chitra couldn't bear this. She stood up and spoke, " If a marriage is what u ask for then so be it. I am ready for any kind of compromise."

Maan looked at his mother with pain in his eyes. Even she didn't stand for him.

"Excuse me", came the voice of Geet from the crowd. Geet stepped forward from among the crowd in front of the faculty and parents.

Geet : Issey pehle ki ap log pandit ko bulake muhrat nikale, I have something for you.

All eyes went to the laptop in her hand.

She continued, her voice business-like, " This is Nayan Tara's laptop. Rehearsals ke time photos nikaal kar Kapur uncle send karne wali, police ko phone karke galat information denewali , media aur college me in dono ki badnami karnewali aur koi nhi balki Nain Tara he. Ye rahe uske proof"

The laptop was filled hate messages on Maan's pictures. The pics during rehearsals and copy of those vulgar pamphlets were enough evidence again NT. Mira was in for a shock as the truth was revealed. And Maan.. Maan stood there frozen as if there is no life in his body. His muscles tensed as the realisation dawned him. HE DOUBTED HIS CHUTKI!!!! He was scared to look at her yet he did as she was stepping back to a corner after saving him. She had those cold eyes which made him shudder.

Siddhart Handa wanted to blow a whistle for his daughter but controlled himself given the current situation. Yash patted on Maan's shoulder to congratulate him which brought Maan out of his reverie.

Juliet : I hope bringing a guy was not the reason for all the problems in this college. Either boy or girl you should trust your children.

Mr. Kapur : great!! Wat is this thanks-giving. Now r u planning to disperse this meeting without a decision for my daughter ?? FINE!!! I know what to do. Maan Singh Khurana is the groom for my daughter either by love or force. Thats upto the Khuranas to decide.

Maan gave his famous breath-taking smirk , "That will be a difficult task Mr. Kapur bcoz if I have to marry Mira, she would need a divorce from her husband. Don't be shocked. Its my friend Yash! (Maan switched place with Yash making Yash and Mira stand together) If that is what you want then you have to force him and I wont allow that."

Mr. Kapur stood there shocked and hurt. Maan felt bad for him but he was just being too adamant. Siddharth was happy for the kids and infact proud that they handled the situation in a much matured way than the adults. Savitri Devi smiled at her naughty grandson. Chitra was relieved that son was out of all the troubles. Geet was happy for her friend. Her smile brought back the life in Maan even if it wasn't meant for him.

Kapur was about to leave when Yash stopped him.

Yash : Uncle sirf leagal procedure hi hua he. Mira ne mujse kaha he ki wo meri patni tabhi banegi jab purey rasmo-riwazo ke sat hap uski bidai karenge.

Kapur was really moved by that. The couple took his blessings and the meeting dispersed on a happy note. Mira came to meet Geet. Maan was standing far away from them watching her.

Mira hesitated. She didn't know what to say. It was so awkward. They were best friends and she didn't trust her. All she could was to cry in front of Geet. Geet couldn't take the tears of her riend.

Geet : oye..ab zyada drama mat kar aur jhappi pa le..

Mira looked at her surprised and took her in a bear-hug. Pinky joined them too. Maan watched the re-union from a distance.

Geet bid goodbye to her friends and was going back when Maan stopped her at the corridor.

Maan : Thank You Geet..

Geet smirked.

Maan : So wats next?

Geet : next drama..aur fir curtains..

Maan : tumhe nhi lagta Geet ki ussey pehle humare beech ka ye drama khatam karna he?

Geet : drama to khatam ho gaya na Maan. Sabke sath mujh pe yu shaq karke apney ye prove kiya he ki ap mujhe kabhi samaj nhi paoge Maan. You will never ever understand me. I can't try and fail again...
