It was 7 months..
Geets mood swings were on top..when n what n which time she will demand no one knew..one time imli..paani puri..spicy things..jung foodor the other time with icecreams,n Italian dishes..
Maan brought everything at her feet..any time she demands he made it to be in house in an hour…geet was pampered a lot..she was feeling like she is the most happiest girl on earth.
Dadi decided for godhbharai..n rano requested she want it to be done in Mumbai ..the house where they lived..mohinders soul will be in peace if geets function was done there..
Dadi agreed..but maan don't want it..geet will be tired..so he opposed it..n geet told him it will be simple n only between families..so she will be comfortable..n maan will also be there beside her to take care of her..geet said she want to feel her dad once in that house..now how can maan cant agree to her wish..he agreed..
geets mother was mostly cured..so,shewent with taiji back to Mumbai to do the preparations..maan sent servants with her to help them..n two days before the function maneet went there in their private plane...
maneet were welcomed with aarti inside the house..geet s emotions was flowing out entering her house..her maayka..all small small incidents which she spent with her parents came to her memory..
rano asked maneet to take rest in geets room..
geet touched the wall of her room..it was same like before..the person who took in action have changed it..n maan has renovated her room upto her taste..or to say designed by geet..
geet:maan..u..
maan:yes..once I asked how was ur room n u designed it…I asked ur mama n said it was exactly the way ur room was...n I did it…
maan..geet hugged him with all her love..
geet:u know maan..if this walls could speak they will tell how lucky I was to get a parents like my mom n dad..my dad,who never hesitated to bring moon at my feet..my mom who always pampered me ..taiji,who brought up me with love n care..my dad .he never said his business is sinking..not even to my mother..n he left us..
geet:he left us maan..she cried remembering her father..
maan kept her in his embrace…she is missing her father..
geet:my dad used to say,he will bring me a prince for me..but see now my prince is with me..but he is not here to see you..
maan:moon..jaan..pls..dont cry..enough of crying jaan..ur dad wont be happy seeing his daughter crying..that too when she is carrying..he would like to see only a happy princess jo hamesha hasthi khelthi thi..
his soul will be around here only looking at you..so,be happy jaan..he said making her rest on bed..he caressed her hair n she slept..
rano who was indoorsteps was in tears..
maan came to her n wiped her tears..
maan:ye kya hai maa..i thought only my wife is cry baby..she is cranky becoz of mood swings..but why r u crying..
rano turned his ears..
maan:maa..aa..
rano:badmash..u r calling me cry baby..
maan:phir aasu kyun
rano wiped her tears..this is happy tears beta..to have a son in law like u..really my husband will be happy to see geet has got a life partner like you..
maan made her sit on couch..n he sat on his kneels keeping his heads on her lap..
maan:maa,some times I think I am not worthy for geet..i am not perfect for her..i ve done many wrong things in my life before geet entered my life..
he was confessing his deeds..
rano: u may be wrong in past beta. but sometimes people's learn a lot from their wrong things.it teaches u the value...n they will never chose the path later in their life..u have learnt a gud thing..i am sure u wont go back..
she said gently caressing his hair..
maan:maa,becoz of her I got u as my mother..i will never let u disappoint..i will keep geet happy..
dadi was seeing the lovely affection between them..
geet who was restless without maans warmth opened her eyes n saw maan n rano
geet:maa..this is not fair..u r loving ur son in law more than me nowadays..
she cutely complained n came to her mother..
she shoved maans head from rano's laps n kept her head on it..
geet:ye meri maa ki godhi hai..sirf meri..
maan rolled his eyes..thinking how still she behaves like a kid when she is going to become a mother..
at evening the beautician came n did her mehandi..her hands turned thick in colour,showing how much maan loved her…
the next morning, maan asked geet to get ready n come with him..he is called as a chief guest n he wants geet beside him..when all got worried he said its matter of an hour n they will be back n he will take care of her..n geet will also be happy seeing the place..
but he kept it as surprise, where they are going..
they reached the venue..n geet was surprised to see it was her college..the 3 beautiful years she spent there..it was decorated to welcome them.. geet:what is the function maan..
maan: I have invited to give speech about indian economy..how the business is related to it..in raising our country..n other side..old friends meet..
geet though was happy on other side she was reluctant..the last day of her college which turned to a dreadful day..after that she never came here..not even to collect her certificates,
maan:moon..u r my wife..my wife doesn't get scared of anything..she will be the same geet who faced this world alone..bravely… geet: friends..i like to see maan..but only one person..gayathri..i wish she is here..n the others are not to be called as friends..they are fake maan..
maan:hm ya..some are fake..some are real..i want u to see ur real friend..n for others,there is nothing here for u to worry..im here dear..u can see ur friends..n enjoy..
geet smiled..when her husband is there ,why should she worry..he is right..
the car stopped..n his body gaurds came running to open the door..maan stepped out from the car..the medias were there flashing the lights on him. the girls drooling on him..n the boys jealous on him..some looking at him with admiration...he turned n gave his hand to geet..she held his hand n came out..this is her first time with maan before medias.after her marriage..maan kept her away becoz of her pregnancy..today he want her to be with him..to get over her fear facing Mumbai..the place where they lost her respect becoz she lost her wealth n was left on roads..he want her to walk in same place with pride..
geet hugged maan as the photographers n medias flashed the light to see the women beside him..she kept one hand on her stomach holding baby in fear...maan kept his hands protectively around her waist..
maan:jaan..are u scared..meri sherni kab billi bangaye..its only flashes moon..
geet smiled weekly at him..then looking around her she felt relaxed..she can see the disappointed face on girls as maan moved more closer to geet half hugging her n helping her to walk .or in a way saying to the world I have my own girl for me..there is no chance for others..they can only dream about him..
.geet chuckled..as maan did not look at the girls..
the principal came before maan n gave him the bouquet..he was also surprised 2 see his student as his wife..he congratulated her also
geet:maan,lets go around the college once.
Maan:as u wish..
Principal:I will take u..
Geet:no sir..i will..i know each n every part..
Principal too agreed..
Geet walked with him holding his hands..saying her masti,the pranks,the proposals,maan frowned then he too smiled. when she said how she made them run showing rakhi's..then the play ground,the auditorium,where she performed in dance drams n some funny moments which happened at that time..
Geet:u know maan..noone has ever beated me in speech competition..
Maan: if u have not won that would have been the wonder dear..
Geet:what..what u said..i am talking too much hu..
She wacked him playfully..n he jumped..
Maan:arei arei..mere izzat ka tho kuch khayal karo na darling..tomorrow 's headlines..MAAN SINGH KHUARANA BEATEN UP BY HIS WIFE IN PUBLIC..
Geet hugged him lightly..
Geet:no maan..i would never let it down..
Then he saw a group who are standing there speechless looking at maneet..they tried to near her..maneets BGs pushed them away..they want to get near maan through geet..their mentality cant change..
Adi signaled his eyes to maan..n maan smirked..
Nearing them geet knew who they are..her so called friends who enjoyed their life with her.n turned their back when she was in need...she avoided like she never knew n passed them..
she saw gayatri with adi walking towards them nervously..she stood few feet away from geet..
..
Geet hugged gayatri making her shock..
Geet:omg..gayu..i miss ed u so much..
Geet said chirply..
Gayu still stood without any reaction..
Geet:apni dost se dur kyun kadi ho..
Gayatri:geet..wo..tum..ab..mr.maan..u ..wife..
Geet:gayu,if u r thinking 2 avoid me becoz of status n I am maan's wife..then go..if u really think me as friend give me a hug again..i am not like others gayu to think friends only to use for their purpose..
She said indirectly at her friends group..
Gayu hugged her..
geet turned to maan..
Geet:maan,this is my best friend..gayatri..she only helped me n was with me..the one who taught me what is true friendship..
Geet said it looked at the group who was noticing her..
Maan:nice to meet u..gayatri..
Maan extended his hands..n some girls fainted seeing it..how lucky gayu is..n the group was really feeling jealous of geet n gayu...but they could not near her..
Gayu was thinking whether to give handshake or not..
Maan:socho gayathri..nazeeb walei ko miltha hai Maan ki hand shake..
gayu :nice meeting u jiju..no..bhai..no..sir.
maan:think what u like to call me..no sir pls…it looks like I am ur boss..it doesn't look friendly..
gayatri smiled..he is not like she read..he was making her to ease with his conversation..
geet: gayu..u call him jiju..becoz he has already 3 sisters..
maan:sochlo geet..then she will be my saali..
geet:so..
maan neared her ears..so that none could here what he is saying..
maan: saali aadhi gharwali hothi hai..
maan winked at geet..n smiled teasingly..
n geet did not leave him this time..she hit his chest with her tiny fist..n maan was taking it all silently..
geet:maan,phir bhi jiju chalega..mujei aap par aur meri dost par poora barosa hai..
maan saw gayu gapping at both..
maan:sry gayatri..its just for fun.u r also like my sister...i like teasing my wife..n ya..call me jiju..i want geets happiness only..if she wants u to call me so..u can..i ve no objection..

geet knotted her brows n read the papers ..her face brightened. she gave it to gayu who nearly fainted..
gayatri was appointed as geets secretary .. she will be living in kc apartment n many more facilties were given to her..
geet looked at maan.. thankfully…
he said like reading her..
maan:I want ur friend to be with u..
gayu: thank u sir..thank u geet..
geet showed fake anger..dont talk with me..
gayu:ok..thanks jiju..
geet:this is gud..n don't say thanks to me..if someone must say its me..how can I forget what u did for me..
gayu hugged geet..
gayu:geet..past is past.. u r happy.. I am also happy seeing u like this..

maan: o my sona..am sry dear..
geet turned her face..
maan held his ears..am sry moon..
geet sniffled her nose..n turned..

maan kissed baby..thank u princess..now don't kick mama more..the baby listened to him..
geet:maan,u both made a team now itself..
adi called maan n said its time for function…
then maneet were taken to the function hall..maan never left her side..n gayu was also with her..friends signaled geet..
friends:geet..geet..
gayu:geet they are calling u..
geet,I know..but they are not my friends..now too if they are calling means it is only for some benefit for them..
gayu:hmm..but u can talk once..what if they are changed..
geet:did they met u these days gayu..
gayu :no..
geet:it shows what they are..ok..for u..lets call them..i too want to say something to them..
geet told maan n asked his permission..he said something in her ears.
Maan:moon..u will behave like GMSK..not as friend,who was used by them...u must show them their place..geet accepted...
Maan called bg's n allow them ..
Geet..They came to hug geet,but were stopped by bg's..two steps before itself..
BG;s..we cant let u near mam..
Group:but we are her friends..
BG's:may be..but its our duty..n we doing our duty what we have told to do..
Group:then how u let that girl gayu near ur mam..
BG:its mams wish..if mam told we will allow u..
Group:geet, tell them..we are ur friends..
Geet:can u come to the point straight why u all are here to meet me..
Adi:geet,
The friends looked at adi who was calling geet by name not mam..(geet has strictly said she is like a small sister to him n never he will address her as mam..n he too obliged it..)
Adi: they are here to meet him..all are working in different companies..n they have asked to get a sub contract from KC..who ever gets maan sirs contract will grab a senior post in their office..n they thought maan sirs weakness is his wifeif they approached u,u will make maan accept..this is their plan..but they don't now u r his wife..n now thinking to use u again in name of friendship..
Geet smirked..seeing the groups face turning pale..how he knew why they are here.
Geet:is it true
Group:ne..h.i ….geet..u r our fri..e.n.d ..na..how can we utilize our friendship..ur staff is lying..
All stammered showing it is a pure lie...blamming on adi..n maans eyes turned red in anger..
Geet kept her hand entwingled with his asking him to control..
Geet: stop it..how dare u point on adi bhai..do u know who he is..u say urself as friends..where were u all when I asked u help..u avoided me.let me suffer alone.. u cant give money..its ok.. i would have accepted if u all are with me supportive atleast ..it was oonly gayu...the same friend gayu, see ..here they are claiming me as friend for their need...they are here again for a purpose..u all are shame in name of friendship..do u know what I faced ..if u all are my friends ,say about me..where I was what I faced..how I suffered after the loss of my papa..with my mom who got mad after my dads death..
The group dipped their head in shame.Geet was getting emotional..she breathed heavy..
Maan. relax.moon..y r u taking tension..
. gayu:geet..leave it yaar..
Geet:no gayu..aaj kehne do..friendship ka meaning jaanthi ho aap log..
A friend who cant support in the needed time cant be a true friend..sharm aarahi hai mujei..how I made u friends..thanks for showing the world to me..n I got to know a true n real friend like gayu..now u all can go..i don't want to face u ever again in my life..
Maan rubbed her back gently..shh geet..
Maan to BGS..her juice..n take them all from here..
One bg came with different type of juices..orange lime apple pomegranate blue berry carrot mango..
BG:mam..what u would like to have..
Gayu:jiju.why all kinds of juices..
Maan:u don't know her..first it was hard for me..when she asked juice..if I give her apple juice..she will say orange..seeing it she will puke..then she will take lime..sometimes this order went long..n I don't want her to make her wait ..so only all types of juices..what she wishes she will have..
Geet took orange n maan helped her having it..
Maan:r u feeling better..
Geet:hmm..i think so..she left a deep breath..
Gayu:y u r taking so much tensions at this stage..
Adi said its getting late for function n maneet took the seat on stage..
It was maans turn..he gave the speech n explained every things clearly to the students..many vips were also present there along with students..n maan at last asked..
Maan:do u all know who designed my latest project..which gave heights to KC this year..n selected as the best design of this year..
Students:its u..
Maan:no…its my wife geet ..
Geet did not know this piece of news..her eyes widened..maan chuckled seeing her expression..
its time for the students to ask questions to interact with maan..
many asked questions related to business. N he answered it ..sometimes it was personal too..which he handed it very well..
girl:sir,what if u come to know any girl loves u seriously more than ur wife..n proposes u..
maan saw geet angry on that question..
maan:no one can love me more than my wife..n as a celebrity many can think about me..but I have my lady love beside me..i will say sry to the girl..
there was claps loud filling the hall..n maan saw geet ease now..his answer must have cooled now..
boy:we heared u r too short tempered n don't believe in love..now how can u believe love..
maan:every coin has two sides..my childhood taught me bitterness..n I followed it..i was angry ,rude,ya sometimes u can think me as heartless person too..but it was my wife who changed me like this..
the boy again asked..
boy:how can u say she loves u..like u do..
maan looked at geet n her expressionsaid different thing..
maan: again I say..compared to my love my wife loves me more than me..
boy:what if someone says ur wife had affair when she was in college..
geets held maans hands..her hand was sweaty..she was looking at the boy with pure hatred..
maan: I am sure..she had none..becoz she may be modern yet traditional girl..
the air surrounded started to heat with this questions..some tried to take the mic from the boy who was asking too much personal questions that too humiliating mrs..maan..
boy:what if u got some proves,that she had one..
maan:then I will surely make u rot in jail..
boystumbled a little..n the hall went quiet..
boy somehow managed to ask:what are u saying mr.khurana..
maan: sarcastically..u don't know..then let me remind u..u r the one who was behind my wife during collage life..n do u want me to say more about in public..what all u told to her…
the boy was caught..he never thought maan could find him..n geet looked maan how he guessed it correct..the boy was in pur rage seeing geet with maan..his lust was still there..she is now more beautiful with the glow of baby..he want her to come to him n plea to him..but nothing happened..he never thought maan could be over smart..
maan:don't u think my wife has told about her life's every part..i know how many love letters she got,how many followed her..how they proposed her..including u..that is her love.pure love…he said proudly..
maan:.she never hide anything from me..n that's the proof of her love..u know what ?u r a stupid to think I will doubt her..ur so called jealousy cant make me change..n trust ur words..i am not the same maan who thought by mind..this is geets maan..who thinks by heart..n I knew my wife in n out..
I must say, I am the most luckiest person in world..n u r so unlucky..i got a treasure like geet in my life..n u missed it becoz of ur cheap mentality..
The boy could not hear more..he left the place immediately..
Now all knew what geet holds in maans life..
Reporter:sir,what are u thinking now..will u punish that boy for humiliating ur wife..
Maan scratched his little grown beard..
Maan:no..i think my wife needs rest..she is having back pain..
Maan said looking at geets restless form ..he came to her n scooped her in arms..
Maan:sry moon..i made it longer..is it paining too much..
Maan.all are looking at us..
She saw the crowd looking at them lovingly..
Some hooting seeing maan taking her in arms..geet shied n hid herself in his broad chest..
Adi n gayu followed them..
Home..
geets room..
Maan was gently massaging geets back..
Is it paining now too..
No maan..
She suddenly kissed him making him shock
Ye kisliye..
I love u maan..this is for the trust u have on me..i thought I will die the moment when he said I had an affair..but u not only shut him..but made me also speechless..
Maan closed her mouth with his making her flinch in pain as he was kissing her wild..
Maan:never talk about death moon..i cant live without u..
Geet:sry maan..
She hugged him tight..
Maan:u r my world geet..
Geets godh bharai was a small affair as geet wished..it was only both families n their friends..arohi couldn't come as she was adviced by dr..not too travel..
After the function n having some gud peaceful moments in Mumbai all were back to delhi..
