Part 2
It was the next day. Geet was sitting in the living room on her
favorite couch. Everything around her seemed so unknown and
strange all of a sudden. As if she were still dreaming about whatever
had happened the previous evening. She was absolutely not ready
to believe that her childhood buddy prince maan singh khurana had
actually got the guy arrested whom she loved. It was not as if maan
or her family did not know about her love interest in dev singhania.
Daarji, Dad and chachu were fully aware about her newly found partner.
She remembered that when maan met dev for the first time, he had liked
him instantly. Though the two were way different from each other just like
chalk and cheese, but dev's frank nature had won her family's heart. Maan
had even complimented dev regarding his skill in conducting business.
But now things were different as maan was not ready to hear dev's name
in the palace. And when the guards were putting handcuffs on dev, he was
accused by maan of playing with her feelings and trying to snatch the
handa's family business. Could her love really fall so low? Geet knew maan
would never blame any person without reason. She trusted him more than
her family, more than even her life. All these thoughts were making geet's
head spin. She clutched her little head tightly in her hands and groaned.
The pain was shooting through her skull like a bullet. Sighing heavily, she
leaned back against the headrest and laid her feet upon the ottoman
placed at the foot of the couch.
It was after a couple of hours that geet opened her eyes. She was still
quite dizzy, but felt better after a short nap. Standing up slowly she
headed towards the garden door but stopped. A maid went forward
followed by 2 butlers. They opened the door and went out but returned
quickly clutching luggage bags. Geet squinted her eyes and walked a bit
ahead. She brightened up instantly, her eyes widened in happiness. For
entering through the garden door were Daarji and chachu along with her
dad. She ran forward and hugged Daarji, squirming in delight. Daarji smiled
feeling his little angel in his arms and hugged his granddaughter back. Then
Dad and chachu followed in turns, all three of them showering their
princess with utmost love. Then Daarji sent dad and chachu in their rooms
to freshen up. Both brothers went at once, arm-in-arm. Then he looked at
geet and asked her to come with him. A little puzzled, she followed her
granddad to his room right in the middle of the first floor. Entering his
room, Daarji locked the door and holding geet's little hand, guided her
towards the bed. After she sat down, he settled beside her and clearing
his throat, began to voice his thoughts aloud.
"Geet puttar aap aise chup kyon rahi? Aap ne hume dev ki asliyat kyon nahi batayi?" Daarji asked geet directly. Geet was surprised that he already knew about those misconceptions. But she knew that Daarji trusted her the most in the world. So she thought of clearing all the doubts.
"Daarji, kal shaam ko maan aur dev ka jo bhi fight huwa tha na woh-
"Nahi puttar, aap ko pareshan hone ki zarurat nahi hain. Maan puttar ne hum ko sab kuch bata diya hain. I know ki woh kal aap ko kitni kamzor
haalat mein ghar leke aaye hain. Par jo bhi huwa woh accha hi thaa. Abhi
hum sab araam se maan aur aap ki shaadi karwa sakte hain. In do dino mein registrar ki saari formality ho jayegi. Phir humari beti apni zindagi ki nayi shuruvaat karegi".
Saying so, daarji put his arms arms around geet happily. Needless to say geet was stunned after hearing daarji's words. So, even daarji knew all what went wrong and he was still favoring her marriage with maan! She
was so distraught. Knowing now that there was no escape from this marriage, geet politely excused herself saying that daarji needed to rest.
Daarji smiled tiredly and picking up his clothes, went inside the washroom.
While controlling the trail of tears that had clouded her eyes, geet got up from the bed and went outside, unsure of what tomorrow would bring for her.
