KM @ 8pm
Yash reached home ..he wasn't exactly happy seeing maan in that chawl ..but then the change he saw in his always careless boy was something that made him proud ...yet maan was all he was left with after the death of his wife ...he loved him ...loved him with everything he had ...he still don't think he spoiled his son ..maan always knew whats right n wrong ..he always had the moral to live life justly ...yes he was living a luxurious life ...but he is Khurana ...if he had it ..his son had all the right to spent it ... y for a damn girl his son should suffer so much ... no doubt he liked geet ...😳in any other situation less complicated than this he would have say geet is the perfect girl for maan ..but her being a Handa didn't helped Yash suspect her intentions ... somewhere like Mohinder even Yash could not trust geet just coz she is a Handa ..n after knowing about Brij's nature he wasn't sure if geet isn't tricking his son into any cheap game ...but nothing seems like that at least not now ...a continuous struggle whether to trust the girl or not was there always ...in some corner of his mind he did love geet that made him bless his child but a major part still holds concerns for his son ...he don't want maan to end up heart broken just coz he have some goddamn business rivalry with Handas ...he still couldn't trust geet Comletely ...!!
Lost in his own thought he was sitting in the hall when dadi maa came ..n sat by his side ..
Dadi : kya baat hai yash itne pareshaan kyun hain aap ...maan theek hain na
Yash (opened his eyes n looked at his mother's worried face he couldn't add up to her worries) : hmm ..theek aapka ladla ...found a new room for himself ...
Dadi (surprised) : matlab ..armaan k saath nahi reh rahe maan abb
Yash (sighed remembering the area maan is at this moment) : nahi ..(be4 his mother could drill him more he wanted to get away).. maa mien ...upar change kar k aata hoon ..thak gaya hoon ..
Dadi maa (knowing he is worried for maan didn't pressed him further n said with a smile) : theek aap jaiye..hum coffee bhej dete hain aapke liye ..
Yash (smiled at his mom's concern) : ji theek hai ..(as he took steps towards his room all he could get were the flashes of maan working in the house ..the stuff geet bought for him ...how he was adjusting to the broken furniture ..n then the thought ...he so much loved to have coffee after a long day ...n today he won't be able to have it ...he sighed in helplessness n heard his mother ordering the servants to make coffee ...his thoughts were full of maan n he just couldn't adjust to these comforts anymore n turned to his mother standing at the top stair) ... maa actually mood nahi abb ..coffee ...coffee ka ...jaane dijeye ...
Yash went away ...but savitri devi kept looking at his son n sat on the sofa nearby defeated ...she knew how much yash loves maan ...he is the sole reason yash lives ...maan was the only person on earth coz of whom her son didn't lost his smile ...he could see his wife in his son ...he loved him the most in the world ... n being away from him ..probably is the most difficult time for him to bear ...she knew his sudden refusal must be something to do with maan ..a tear slipped her eyes n sighed at her own helplessness ...no matter how much yash tries but she is a mom n she can see his pain even with her blur old eyes easily ..
She turned to get the cordless n dialed maan ..
On the other hand maan was looking at his pic.s with his dad in his mobile smiling ...hoping hi s dad will forgive him ..coz he surely won't be able to survive without him ..his dad is the person he loves the most in the world ..he never got to see his mother since she died in the labour room itself but his dad gave him all the love n affection a child could manage to handle ...or may be sometimes even more ...his dad everything to him ...his father ..mother ..his best friend ..a companion ...he loves geet surely he do more than himself but his dad has his own place which no one can ever replace .. n suddenly a smiled in delight seeing the caller's num from KM
Maan (excitedly) : hi dad ..kaise hu ..?? mujhe pata tha aap mujh se ziada time k liye naraaz reh hi nahi sakte ..
Dadi (tears spilled from her eyes but she smiled listening to her child's voice ...she knew maan must be missing yash the same way) : theek kaha aapne aapke dad aapse ziada time ke liye naraaz reh hi nahi sakte ..but aapki tension tu hoti hai na beta
Maan (disappointed) : dadi maa ...app ...wohh mujhe laga ...dad ...(then changed his voice not wanting dadi to get upset).. chaliye choriye ...dad nhi tu dadi sahi ...pata hai I abhi aap dono ki hi pictures dekh raha that ha mien ..
Dadi : acha ..itni yaad aati hai humari
Maan (sad) : aapko lagta hai mujhe nahi aati
Dadi (helplessly pleaded) : tu kyun jaa raha hum se dor ...lot aa beta ..
Maan (gasped hearing her cry) : dadi ...kya hua hai ..?? aap roo kyun rahe hu ..plss bolona dadi
Dadi (composed herself n wiped her tears) : kuch nahi ...(sighed).. bas aapki buhat yaad aarahi thi ..
Maan (dipped his head down n then instantly stood up saying) : mien abhi aajata hoon aapse milne ..theek hai ...aap bas roo mat ..
Dadi (instantly stopped him extending her hand as if he was in front of her) : nahi rok jaiye .. buhat raat hugayi hai maan iss waqt aapka aana theek nahi huga ..
Maan : but dadi ..//
Dadi : no ifs n buts ...acha yeh bataiye ...aapne dinner kiya ..??
Maan (smiled n sat down) : han ..geet n armaan ke saath thori dair pehle hi kiya ..
Dadi (smiled) : acha ..kya khaya ..??
Maan : wohh geet ne cheese omelet banaya that we had it with bread ..
Dadi (smiled teasingly) : ohh tu humari bahuu ko khana banana aata hai ..
Maan (smiled knowing the tone of his dadi) : ji han sexy ..meri geet ko khana banana aata hai ..
Dadi (smiled) : chalo acha hai ..shaddi k baad na hum sab cooks ko chutti de denge aur tumhari biwi ko boldenge kea bb wohi khana banaiye ..
Maan (laughed) : dadi knowing geet ..she would do that very happily waise bhi she enjoys cooking ...I wonder how ..
Dadi (smiled with tears hearing him so happy even after all the situations they r in) : aap theek hain na maan ..
Maan (smiled knowing no matter what his dadi is concerned for him) : han dadi ...plss aap tension mat lo ...mien bilkul theek hoon ..
Dadi : hmmm ...jante hain hum pr kya Karen dil se majboor hain ...chinta tu hoti hi hai na ..
Maan (hesitantly) : dadi maa ...ek baat pouchoon aapse ...
Dadi (surprised at his sudden change of tone n hesitation) : hum se kuch kehne ke liye aapko pouchna kab se pargaya ...?? Maan boliye beta kya baat hai ...
Maan : wohh ...aapko ...aapko aur dad ko sach mien lagta hai ki ...ki mene KM sirf geet ke liye chora ..aap log aaj bhi mujhe aur geet ko trust karte na ..
Dadi went silent what could she say like yash even she couldn't be 100% sure for geet .. she trust her grandson but geet she is a stranger ..she wants yash to trust maan n trust his choice thts y she always supports geet in front of yash but if she is being questioned this moment of silence actually made her realize that even she don't trust geet enough ...not now at least ..may be she will ...after some time ...yet maan's decision did hurt them ...after all they r parents they have brought him up all these years n just in few months thr own son has left them for the love of a girl ..she do understand thr love ..this situation but the feeling ...the hurt ..the loneliness its all out of her hand ... she cannot help but to feel this seeing yash so sad ...seeing her home lifeless ...seeing thr family torn apart ... she wants her child back in her embrace ..safe from all hardships yet she know it can never happen so only all she thought at this moment she is worried for her maan's happiness n well being .. geet or no geet she wants her grandson happy ..always !!
Her silence gave maan his answer ..n he sighed dipping his head
Maan : dadi itna bhi nahi samajh paaye aap mujhe .. kya sach mien me sirf geet k liye apne dad ko chor dunga ...(his eyes were mist ...yes he is hurt ...he loves his dad just as much as geet loves her ...he cannot leave his hand like ..it wasn't easy)..
Dadi (sensed him crying n panicked she tried to explain to maan) : nahi maan ..aisa ..//
Maan (he interrupted her just like a 5 years old will) : nahi pehle aap meri baat sonu .. yeh sach hai mene project start geet ke dad ke saamne apne aap ko kuch prove karne k liye kiya tha ..but dadi wohh interest tu 2 din mien hi geet ka support dekh kar khatam hugaya ...😳 mene mehnat ki kyun k mien geet ko pana chahta tha ..sirf Khurana khandaan ka beta ban kar nahi ..sach mien apni aapko uss ke layak banana chahta tha .. dad buhat aasaani se mujhe KC mien job de dete dadi ..i knew that .. but fir bhi mien kabhi khud apne bal par jeena nahi seekh pata .. mien kabhi samajh hi nahi pata ki kitni value hai meri life ki har luxury ki jo dad ne mujhe bas yoon hi provide kardi ..bus mien travel kiya tu samajh aaya ferari ki kya importance hai ...mien kabhi aapko aur dad ko chor kar nahi jana chahta tha ...but dadi Khurana khandaan ka naam ...uska rutba ..kitna important hai yeh dad ne hi mujhe humesha samjhaya hai ..aur challenge ko lene ke baad usko end tak jeetne tak poori taqat se khelna bbhi dad ne hi seekhaya hai na ..tu kaise KM mien reh kar mien humari family k naam par aanch aane deta aur naa hi job quit kar ke apna challenge haar sakta tha ... boliye dadi mene galat kiya KM chor kar aise mien ...
Dadi (she was by now in tears hearing her child ..she never knew her little stubborn maan has grown so much n become so mature ..a smile spread across her face with tears spilling on her cheek she nodded no) : Nahi humara bacha kuch galat nahi kiya aapne ...kuch bhi nahi ...kuch bhi nahi ...
Maan : aap janti hain dadi ...uss din buhat rooya mien ...geet ke saamne ...dad ko kitna hurt kiya tha mene ...but aapko pata hai geet ne kiya kaha ...ussne kaha jab mien apni salary lekar dad ke saamne jaonga na tu iss dunya mien unnse ziada khush aur proud koi nahi huga ...uss ne theek kaha tha dadi .. bilkul theek ...mene dekha aaj ...dad ki aankhoon mien apne liye who look ..i saw that dadi ...I saw that ..(dadi smiled hearing him so happy) aur aaj bhi ..mien job chor sakta tha dadi ..mien wapis KM aa sakta tha ...but than mien phir wahin stand karta jahan iss sab pehle thay ..as Yash Khurana's son ...dadi ..dad ne jo cabin mere liye banwaya mien wahan zaror bethoonga ..ek din KC mien jo post dad mujhe dena chahte hain mien khud dad se mango ga ..lekin tab jab mien ussko khud earn karoga ..jab mien uss post deserve karoonga ...apni mehnat se ussko hasil karoonga ..sirf iss liye nahi ke mien Yash Khurana ka beta hoon ...iss liye kyun k I deserve to be thr 😳...uss waqt jab dad ke paas poori company ke saamne mujhe sirf as apna beta introduce karane ke lawa bhi kuch aur huga kehne ke liye .. aaj tak mene proud feel kiya hai ke mien Yash Khurana ka beta hoon ...par jis din poori dunya mere dad ko mere naam se introduce karayegi ..uss din mien wapis zaror aaonga ...n yeh sirf iss liye nahi kyun ke geet ne kaha tha ...na hi iss liye kyun ke uss ke dad ne mujhe challenge kiya ..yeh iss liye kyun ke aaj mien jaanta hoon ke dad ne kiya kuch kiya hai iss position tak aane ke liye ...coz I understand it what it means to be a Khurana 😃... yeh mera challenge hai dadi ..n isse poora kiye bina mien ghar nahi aaonga ..
Dadi was left speechless ...she wanted to smile hearing her little grandson's ambitions ...she wanted to cry for mis-understanding him ...she was feeling proud at him ...she was over whelmed with his love for him ...but she couldn't voice out any of it ...n kept crying ...and then another voice was heard by both of them ...maan was surprised while dadi was shocked ...didn't knew what was to come next ..it was yash from the intercome of his room which is connected to room ...he picked up the phone to dail to the guards he left for maan in the chawl to know if he is fine ..n heard his son asking his mother the question ...
Yash : maan ..
Dadi was really tensed didn't knew what yash would say ..how much he has heard least she knew ..she heard every bit of maan's explanation ...while maan was nervous ..its the first time his dad is speaking to him after he left KM ..
Dadi : yash wohh hum maan se ..//
Yash : ek min maa ...mujhe aapke poote se baat karni hai ..
Maan held his breath ...aapka pote ...god that what he address him as when he is angry ...usually ...he was trying to guess whats gonna come his way from his dad ...
Yash : so Mr. Romeo ..challenges jo jeetna mene seekhaya hai na tumhien ..
Maan (hesitantly ..nervous) : ji ...jiii ..dad ..ji 😆
Yash : tu phir jab tak tum unn Handas ka diya hua challenge poora nahi kar dete KM aane ke bare mien sochna bhi mat ..
Maan sighed in relief n smiled in delight ..pheww dads not angry ...he felt so happy n delighted ..his father is his guide n strength as well ...without his blessings n support he can never achieve anything ...n now he know he will win ..no matter what ...his love is with him n now the blessings of his father as well ...now come what may ..he can face anything ..n everything ..
Maan (smiled n with a teasing voice) : dad ..(he paused smiling).. u r too bad in acting stern ..
Maan laughed n dadi smiled ..while yash tried to hold his stern posture but couldn't hearing his son's laughter after what felt like ages ...he sighed
Yash : son ...(maan stopped so as dadi while after a apuse yash said with a sigh)... luv u
Maan (smiled) : luv u too dad ...
Without any more words yash dropped the phone not wanting to fall week in front of his son ...while dadi smiled at the two ...
Dadi : raat hugayi hai beta aap soo jaiye ...hum rakhte hain ..
Maan : hmm .. take care sexy ...
Dadi : u too take very good care of urself ...
Man (smiled) : usske liye geet hai na 😉...hitler
Dadi (smiled) : hmm ...all the best mera bacha ...
maan : luv u dadi maa
dadi : luv u too abb chalo soo jao ...bye
maan : bye
****^^****
Though the time was difficult every attempt of maan in regard of his Own project was turning to be a failure since last 2 months but still with geet around him ...Love was in air ...the phase was quite right for them ..maan n geet were happy as of now ..geet use to visit maan's house early by 6:30 waking him up ..preparing a breakfast & lunch for BOTH ..while maan use to get ready for his office n then having thr breakfast together they both left to thr respective office .. while in the lunch time geet use to carry the same lunch box to maan's office n have thr lunch together in a rush due to less time .. but never the less the love birds were happy in thr short meetings .. dinner was often with Asha tai as maan n geet both developed a nyc bond with the aged lonely widow .. n both were like her children to her now ..
Mohinder n Brij were trying thr best to make maan's jorney difficult ...stopping every sponser ready to pass his project ..n brij through his friend creating troubles for maan in office n geet knew that too n that was the reason she never missed visiting maan's house knowing he is alone n her presence may not lessen his hurdles but may be she can give that little bit of support least she knew she is all what was holding his confidence even after constant failures ..
Yash was a silent spectator of all this ...he knew everything about his son n wa5s proud that maan managed not to disclose his identity as a Khurana ...also he at many times cross tackled the hurdles created by Mohinder but was still not sure if Mohinder will fulfill his promise even if maan managed to set up his project ...
Geet's family was bit turning rutheless to her seeing her involvement with maan be4 marriage .. but she was least bothered about any one's taunts all she wanted was to be with her maan ..
Another day with geet visiting maan's office in lunch n maan wasn't having his lunch ..
Geet : oh please okiee ..abhi apne tantrums baad mien dekhana ..chalo khalo jaldi se ..
Maan : no ways ..yeh karela mien kabhi nahi khane wala geet ...u know I hate it ..
Geet : zubaan tou karele jaisi hoti jaa rahi hai tou fir karela khane mien kya problem hai ...(received a fuming glare from his n looked down getting intimidated n changed the topic).. aur waise bhi I had already asked u to bring veg .. aap hi bhool gaye tou ur fault jo hai abhi khana parega ...
Maan (made a baby face) : but har rooz tou tum hi buy kar rahi hu .. mujhe kuch samajh nahi aaya ..aur kal raat ko asha tai ke saath baat karte karte late hugaya tha ..
Geet : now I caught u mr.Khurana ..aap kal confuse nahi huye bulke bhool gaye ..chalo abhi nakhre band aur khalo ..its just 10 minutes left ..
Maan (with a mischievous glin in his eyes) : fine would-be Mrs.Khurana ..mien kha longa yeh karela ..but ek shart par (geet with slight blushing face looked confused) .. aapko apne hathon se mujhe khilana parega ...
Geet made a O-shape face n looked at him stunned while he smirked ..she went beat root red with his winking n looked here n there the whole canteen filled with staff members ..closed her eyes for a moment then opened n looked at him with a teasing smile ..
Geet : agar mien khilaongi tou aap yeh karela kha lenge ..??
Maan (bent forwards from his seat n looked into her eyes straight) : haye itne pyaar se dekhte dekhte khilaogi tou karela kya mien kuch bhi khalonga ..
Geet smiled looking away with an evident blush n then looked down at the plater n offered him a bite while he was lost looking at her blushing red face ..n chewed the green chilly .. his mouth burned n he looked at her with wide red eyes filling with water n she giggled ..
Maan : geet ill kill u ..
Geet (laughing) : too bad u can't do that one maan ...
But saw his condition getting worst n offered him water ..finally after gulping whole bottle he was bit calmed n she gave him a sweet after which he was fine ..
Geet (cry baby face) : sorry mujhe sach mien nahi pata tha aapki halat itni kharaab hugayegi ..
Maan (smiled) : its ok geet ...mien theek hoon ..n with this u got ur lesson ..mujhe karela kabhi mat khilana ..
Geet nodded with a baby pout ...she wasn't wanting to make it like this at any cost ..
while maan smiled n wished her bye for the day n went to his cabin dropping her till the door ..
