Part 6

Decision

The Handa Mansion was totally noisy, People there started to talk about the happening, "Poor Geet, what will happen to her life," they spoke around,

"I must say she must have been born with a bad fate, so only her life had gone like this," Someone said, "what so ever, her life is totally gone and she could never get married now," someone else said,

Maan can't handle their talks, they were speaking as if Geet had done something wrong, "enough" Maan's voice made the whole Mansion silent, "what's wrong with you guys, why are you speaking as if she had done something bad, he is the killer not her, what did she do," Maan's anger raised up,

"Maan beta, leave it, they are saying right, it's her bad fate, what else would you say," Geet's Grand paa said with tears, "Bad fate, she doesn't have a bad fate, actually she is so lucky, that she escaped from a horrible life, last minute the truth about that guy came out and her life is saved, think how hard it would have been if this news had come after the wedding," Maan argued with her Grand paa,

"what's the difference Beta, now, she will be living her life with this bad fate for this life time, in this house," Her Grand Paa said, "why should she?" Dadi maa jumped in,


"She didn't do anything and she is not married yet, why do you think her life ends here, we will find a nice guy for her and will get her married don't worry," Dadi maa said,

"Savitri ji, Geet's Marriage had been cancelled at the last minute, she had been done the rituals from the beginning and she also exchanged Jaimala and Varmala, it's like she had turned to be his wife, now who will marry her, knowing this all," Someone from the village said aloud,

"And everyone knew that she had been liking that guy and she had been speaking with him for a long time, they have a strong relationship, after knowing this who will marry her," Another women spoke up,

"She had been doing the rituals and we had seen her sitting with him before the Agni, so she will have to live like this only, forever, no other go, it's like she is been cursed" One guy spoke up, provoking Maan's anger,

"Who the hell are you to decide that, ah, who gave you the right to say it," Maan walked towards the guy who spoke up, "Maan, no," Dadi maa stopped him,

"Ok, you say that she doesn't have a good fate na, wait, I will find a nice guy for her and will get her married before you guys and break all your myths on this," Dadi maa said with her attitude,

"See, you speak this much, and support her so much, yet you are saying that you will look for another guy, why? You, yourself have a Grandson, why can't you Marry her to him, if you really think she doesn't have a bad fate," A Guy said silencing Dadi maa's words,

"And he too thinks she is so lucky, then why don't he marry her, a lucky girl," Another one said with a grin, Maan looked at him, his eyes burning with anger and he found an urge to ripe that Man's head,

Dadi maa looked at Maan and held his hand "Ji, you too come in," Dadi maa said to Geet's Grand Paa and pulled Maan inside a room nearby, and Geet's father, Uncle and Breej followed them,

As they went in, "Maan I want you to marry Geet," she said and Maan stepped back in shock, "No," he said, "Maan, I am not asking your permission, I am telling you to do it," Dadi maa ordered in her firm voice,

"Dadi maa, it's not fair," Maan said but Dadi maa didn't listen she went to Geet's Grand paa, "will you Marry Geet to Maan, now," Dadi maa asked and everyone was shocked, they don't know what to say,

"But the rituals," Geet's Grand paa trembled, "Ji, those things are made for the welfare of our children's, that they should live happily and if those rituals itself destroying our children's happiness means, I don't want those rituals, are you ready to Marry your girl to Maan?" Dadi maa asked firmly,

They turned to looked at Maan who was looking at her tensed, Maan went and held Dadi maa's hands and pulled her to a corner,

*****************************************************************************
"Dadi maa, please don't do this to me, if not for me think of Geet atleast, few minutes ago, she was think and dreaming of a life with Armaan, and her dream got shattered right before her eyes and now you want her to jump into another relationship, forgetting everything," Maan asked holding to Dadi maa,

"Maan do you too think that she would have lost her purity as she was in a relationship with Armaan, do you think something must have happened between them" Dadi maa asked, Maan closed his eyes, "of course not, I am not blind, I know her, but I am not talking about that," Maan argued,

"Maan it's my pride related matter, if you didn't marry her now, I will not be able to show my face to these people again and you are the one who always says that if we want a change in something, it should start from us, if you marry her now and break the myth around here, than in future if something like this happens to a girl, they will not do this kinds of injustice to her,"

"Maan if you refused, not only me, but also the whole family will be broken down, and no one will ever marry her, do you want such a injustice to happen to her, do you want her to take up a punishment for something she didn't do, tell me Maan," Dadi maa asked and Maan felt caught,

"Maan, please, marry her, and after that whatever you say I will do, I promise, I will make her to do everything to change her as you like, what so ever, but accept her as your wife," Dadi maa pleaded and he can't refuse her plead and disobey her and he don't what to marry her, Maan thought for some time and shook his head,

Dadi maa smiled big and walked towards the Handa family standing there, "Maan said ok, now say what's your decision," Dadi maa asked and everyone felt so happy,

"Savitri ji, I don't know how I will ever thank you for what you are doing," Geet's grand paa said and everyone smiled big,

"One minute, I am Ready to get married to Geet, if, Geet comes here and say that she is ready to marry me now," Maan said looking at the Handa family,

"I don't want to put her in to a relationship against her will, I want her to come and say to me, that she will marry her without any stress or completion," Maan said out loud,

Maan knew for sure Geet will never accept it, she loved Armaan and he knew it, she will never change her mind, atleast not so soon, Maan had another plan for her, he would take Geet with him to his house and from there he will find a nice guy or help Armaan for her after some days, when she is relaxed,

That he can do, that would be better for her, and that's good for Geet and him, and he was thinking how to convince her family as she refuses the marriage with him, Maan was sure she will,

Hearing Maan, Geet's family went to the room where Geet was, Geet's mom and Aunty, Reema and Rachi went inside the room, while the gents of the family stood out,

***************************************************************************
"what, no," Geet screamed as her mom said about the sudden decision, " please Maa, I don't want to get married, Maa please understand me, just now my whole dream had been shattered into pieces and now you want me to get married with someone else, No Maa," Geet pleaded,

"Geet I can understand your feelings, I am your mother dear, but this time, your future is more important that your feelings, Geet, it's some kind of god's grace that Dadi maa had made this decision, or else no one will take such an big decision,"

"And even if we ever find you a family it will not be good as their family, you know Dadi maa na, she will sure take care of you as her own, and Maan too is a good guy, did you see how is stood up for you," Geet maa said trying to convince her,

"Maa he stood up for the truth and not for me and I can't maa, please, I don't want to get married please, and Armaan, he would have never done such a thing, he will come back soon as he proves his innocence, so please maa, let me wait for him," Geet pleaded crying uncontrollably ,

"No Geet we can't take a risk in your life, what if he doesn't proved innocent and you saw how silently he went with that guy, no Geet, you have to get married now," Geet mom said,

"Yes Geet, your mom is right, even if Armaan is innocent it doesn't matter now, People who are waiting outside will speak like hell and hurt each and every ones heart in your family, the only way to keep their mouth shut is your marriage with Maan," Reema said firmly,

"Geet if not for us, think of your sister Rachi, what will happen to her life, you know, people always link elder sister's life and character to her younger ones, not only Rachi, but to all the girls in our family," Geet mom said as she pulled Rachi before Geet,

"Geet, you always said that your family is everything and you said you don't know what to do for the love they show on you, now is the time to show your love Geet, Marry Maan, give back the pride that your family is above to lose, you can't hurt the people who loved you more than their life for your birth for someone whom you know for just six months and who left you in this situation," Reema held Geet and yelled at her,

"Six months, I had dreamt my whole life with him, and how could I, how will I explain this them, how will I marry anyone else" Geet thought as she cried thinking about her bad fate,

"Geet, Maan wants to hear an yes from you and he said he will marry you then, now the decision is all yours, you can go and say whatever you wish, but before speaking just think of your sister, how you want her life to be," Geet mom said and went away followed by Geet's Aunty, Reema , Rachi.

******************************************************************************
Maan was standing there, waiting for Geet along with Geet's family and his Dadi maa, Geet came in, slowly and looked at her family who was looking at her, scared of what she will say,

Geet then turned to Dadi maa, who smiled at her, then she looked at Maan, "Geet, tell me what's in your mind, I can understand your feelings right now, and don't think of anything else, just speak your mind, if you need I can even do everything to save Armaan," Maan said and Geet looked at him, then all her family and her sister,

"Geet," Dadi maa came and stood near her and caressed her head, "Geet, will you marry Maan and come to my home as my daughter in law," Dadi maa asked,

There was a huge silence in that room, everyone was looking at Geet, she felt like an huge mountain is been placed on her head, Geet then closed her eyes and let out a huge breath, she said the word that would change her whole life long with her family,

"Yes, I will" Geet said her voice echoed in the silent room, Maan looked at her shocked, unbelievable,

Maan's Promo:

Khurana Office was in a total silent and everyone stood up, and waited for their boss to enter the office floor,

Suddenly the silence was broken by the opening sound of the lift, two guys in the black suit step out from the lift and stood at either side and then a young Man came out of the lift and the whole office stiffened,

He walked like a tornado unleashed, with a strong and confident look, everyone wished him, for which his reply was just a nod looking straight,

"Mr. Adithya, when Mr.Maan Singh Khurana will arrive," the reporter asked and Adi looked at his watch, "anytime, now," He smiled as he knew how punctual his boss is,

As Adi closed his mouth, the conference room door opened and Maan entered the room, suddenly the room turned silent and seeing him and his attitude with grace everyone in the room stood up, in respect,

"It's so true, he is an king, and he has some power," The reporter thought as he was meeting Maan for the first time and his head started to spin thinking, "how am I going to ask the questions to him," A fear creeper in his mind,

Maan sat at his chair and waved his hand signaling them to sit down, the reporter sat down with his team and the camera man and the photographer, stood at their place, ready to cover the interview,

"Congratulations Mr. Khurana" The press reporter said with a smile with an utmost confident, "Thank you," Maan said, with a nod,

"Can we start the interview Mr. Khurana," the reporter asked and Maan nodded, and the reporter nodded to the crew to be ready,

Reporter: "Mr. Khurana, it's really a pride for our country to have you, how does it feel, to be selected as a "No.1 Business Man of Asia" and not to be forgotten that you are one among the top 20 Business Man in the world"

Maan: "it's good; it's just a small success for my big dream,"

Reporter: "Your Big Dream, can we know what it is,"

Maan: "Yes, to become as a No.1 Business Man in the world,"

Reporter: "And we knew it would happen soon too, Good luck for that, if Maan Singh Khurana can't do it then who else can,"


Maan: "Thank you but it's a wrong statement, there are many more business man in this world who is as smart and good as me, it's just I had to be more smarter than them, Remember when ever the competition gets tougher, you become more smarter and stronger,"

The next question was something related to his personal life, so the reporter paused yet he asked,

Reporter: "Mr.Khurana, most of the people, especially girls, want to know about your love life, though you openly said that you don't date anyone, what about in future, do you have any dreams,"

Maan: "well, yes I do dream and I do love, I dream about my business and I am passionate towards it and I love my work so much, for me my work and business is my girl and my office is the most romantic place,"

Reporter: "so your opinion on love,"

Maan : "Being in love is not bad, but keeping your love on a girl is a wasteful thing",

Reporter: Then your Marriage?

Maan: I am already married to my business and I am happy, I don't want anyone else to come in between me and my business, to be clear, I am not going to marry anyone, never, my love, my passion and my dream everything is and will be my Business,

"Thank you Mr.Khurana, All the best for your future and hope your dream comes true so soon, Thank you for sharing your precious time and words,"

Year 1995

"Maan, come on, we are above to reach their house and if you are looking like this what will they think, so Please Maan have a smile on your face," Maanavi said pinching Maan's cheeks,

"Mom, how many times I had told you not to pinch my cheeks like this, I am not a baby, and you know I can't fake a smile when I am upset," Maan said as he turned his face around,

"Look Maan there is no need to get upset, and who knows it might be fun, there will be lots of young guys like you, and party, dance and all," Maanavi said looking at Maan,

"Fun? I am here leaving my exams behind and you want me to have fun, Mom, you know what this means that I can't get my 1st rank this time, that means I am not perfect," Maan said as his anger raised in his veins,

"Maan you are in class five, and you are speaking as if you are missing your board exams, relax Mr.Perfect," Maanavi said as she hugged him by his shoulders,

"Mom, exams are exams and I don't care whether it's a simple class test nor a board exam, writing my exam and to get good marks is my duty and I can't be happy if I missed my duty," Maan said and fold his hands and looked straight,

"You see him maa, how he is showing attitude to his own mother, and look at him, talking like some big CEO of a company missing some million sum deal, can anyone believe that he only studies fifth grade, ufff, I real don't know, what am I going to do when he grows," Maanavi whispered to her mother-in-law who was sitting near her,

"Maanavi, I can't find fault in him, it's just Khurana's bloodline, but you have to be happy that he is so much ambitious and responsible from now even, and he is always right, you should be proud of him, one day he will make our whole family proud, no doubt in that " Savitri Devi spoke feeling proud of her grandson,

"But if he is looking like this, then, what will they think," Maanavi complained, and Savitri Devi pressed her hand and smiled at her,

"Maan, I know how you feel right now, and I know you are upset with your mom, but what will she do, your father too denied her request to join her, as he had a meeting, so only she made you come with her and also you can't show that before other, and disrespect her, can you? Nor you show your anger and upset to our relatives, who are happy to welcome us, think twice Maan, you are an intelligent boy, act smart," Savitri Devi said,

Maan always respected his Dadi maa more than anyone, he loved her so much and he never denied her words, he looked at her and nodded once as if he understood her words and he took his mom's hand and pressed it and gave out a slight smile, looking at his mom, then she too smiled and hugged him,

As they arrived the whole Handa family was standing there to welcome them, "Maanavi," Doli came and hugged her, then she saw Savitri Devi and went and got her blessings, "oh my god, look who is here," she smiled big at Maan,

Then the whole family welcomes them and took them to Renu's room, as they entered the room, Renu was trying to make her baby calm, "Oh, no Baby, please be silent, oh, why are you crying like this," Renu was speaking with her one month baby lying in her cradle,

"Renu," Maanavi entered and Renu turned and immediately hugged her, "How are you, Renu and how is our little princess," Maanavi asked a she went and looked at the small and cute baby on the cradle,

"oh, she is so cute, look at her eyes it's so clear just like a ocean, but why is she crying like this," Maanavi asked, the Savitri Devi and the other too came in and saw the child, but the child never stopped crying,

After a few minutes all the elders went out leaving, Maanavi, Renu and Maan in the room, Maan was unable to bear the crying sound, so stood near the door even, "Maanavi she is not stopping her crying, let me go and call mom and come," Renu said worried looking at the child, "ok, I too will come with you, Maan, you be here and look at the baby, ok," Maanavi said and then Renu and Maanavi went out,


Maan was standing near the door and can't bear the crying, so he went near the cradle and looked at the baby, she was crying loud shaking her little hands and legs in the air, and crying wildly,

Enough, Maan thought, "Chup," he said aloud as he kept his index finger on the babies small rosy lips, as some kind of magic, the baby stopped her crying immediately and looked at Maan's face with a widened eyes,

Maan looked at her beautiful eyes, "Good girl, now, no more sound, ok," Maan said and took his finger up from her lips, and the baby was looking at him and a smiled spread around her cute lips and Maan too smiled seeing it,

"Wow, what an magic, how did she stop crying," Renu asked as she entered and looked at her baby smiling at Maan, "how did you stop her crying," Maanavi asked Maan surprised,

"Nothing much, I asked her to stop crying, and she did," Maan said looking at the gorgeous baby smiling at him, "wow, since her birth, this was the first time, she listened to someone's word," Renu said surprised,

"By the way, what's her name, Renu," Maanavi asked looking at the baby girl, "Geet," Renu said and Maan too looked at the smiling baby,

"Geet, nice name," Maan said looking at the baby and the baby giggled as if she understood his comment and clapped her small hands,

Geet's prologue:

Reema and Rachi was holding Geet as they took her to the terrace, and Armaan followed them, as they reached the terrace, they all sat in the chair already placed there, there was silent for quite a while,

Geet was shy and blushing up high, Armaan was too feeling nervous and his palms become sweaty, Reema and Rachi was looking at both of them, waiting for them to start their talk,

"Rachi, I think there are feeling shy to talk before us, so let's leave them alone," Reema whispered in Rachi's ear and she too nodded a yes,

"Hmmm, you both have a chat we will go and bring you something to eat," Reema said and pulled Rachi with her and walked away, Reema and Rachi went and hid themselves behind the wall, trying to hear what they are speaking,

Both Armaan and Geet felt too nervous to start, finally Armaan spoke, "Hi," Geet didn't look at his face, she was still blushing and said an hi, then there was silent for a few minutes,

Armaan lost his silence and stood up, "Geet, I am not going to lie, I am nervous, never felt like this even before my first flight, I am sorry, I was planning to ask you many thing, but I am blanked out now," Armaan said it in one breathe and Geet looked at him, she felt like laughing out seeing his excitement,

"Geet please speak something, your silence is making me more nervous, please break the ice for me," Armaan pleaded and Geet too stood up, "I too don't know what to speak, I am also nervous," Geet said slowly in her honey sweet voice,

"Really," Armaan smiled looking at her, "I guess it's because of all the excitements around us, ok, let's forget it all, can we start from the begin," Armaan asked, and Geet too nodded her head,

"Ok, I am Armaan, working as an pilot for an private airways from Delhi," He said giving is hand for a shake, "I am Geet, from Hosharpur," Geet said taking his hand, Armaan shook her hand twice and let it go, and then there started talking a little freely,

Armaan was saying about this professional life and dreams and Geet about hers, once they started it seemed like there is no end, Reema and Rachi was looking at them hiding behind, Suddenly they felt someone was standing behind them, and they turned around,

Geet's elder brother Breej was standing there, "Girls don't you know it's a bad habit to overhear a private conversation, like this," Breej asked folding his hands,

"Not when your best friend and her would be is speaking," Reema said with a smile and Breej shook his head, "Girls,"

"So what do you think, do they like each other," Breej asked excited, "Like, I think they love each other, look, first they weren't opening their mouth and now, see, they are talking like there is no tomorrow, and need to say Armaan is such a good guy," Reema said,

"Thank god, ok, you both call them and come down, I will go and ask everyone to fix the dates for the engagement and Marriage," Breej said as he was feeling happy for his sister,

"Hey guys, please keep something for tomorrow too, and you have your whole life in front of you to talk, don't finish everything today even," Reema said as she and Rachi came out to get them,

Armaan looked embarrassed and Geet blushed up, and they took them down, Armaan then went and sat near his uncle and aunty and Geet went and stood near her mother and Bhabhi, "Armaan, have you talked with her, can we fixed the engagement," His aunty asked and he shook his head a yes,

"Ji, Armaan likes Geet so much, and we are ready for the marriage, Geet do you too like our Armaan," Armaan's Aunty asked, Geet's mom and Bhabhi, held her arms and asked her to speak up,

Geet just shook her head a yes and blushed high and went away from the place, due to her high shyness, "oh, she is so shy," Armaan's aunty said, "ok then what are we waiting for, let's fix the date,"

Maan's prologue

"Dadi maa, Bro" Dev said as he saw Maan coming towards the dining table, "Dadi maa, don't start now, wait until Bhai finishes his dinner," Annie pleaded,

Maan then came and sat down and they started to have their dinner, Maan felt weird as his family was so silent, he liked it, but it never happened, Dev and Annie never had been this quite while eating,

"Maan," Dadi maa started as Maan finished his dinner and was drinking water, Maan kept the glass down and looked at Dadi maa, Dev and Annie stood up and went away from there,

"Maan, I read the Magazine, your interview" Dadi maa said, Maan grinned and nodded, "But I am not happy with your statement," Dadi maa said seriously,

"Which part?" Maan asked casually though he knew, "About your Marriage, who gave you the right to decide about your Marriage," Maan looked up at her anger face, Maan sometimes wondered whether he got his attitude from his Dadi,

"I am still alive Maan, until I breathe, I am responsible for your personal life, and it's my duty to get you married, if you like or don't like, Why Maan, why you don't like girls," Dadi maa asked in a firm tone,

"Dadi maa, please don't start it again," Maan said as he stood up. "No, you don't start it up," Dadi maa, cut his words, as she too stood up,

"Don't I have the right to see my family grow, don't I have the right to play with my great grand children and don't I have the right to see the marriage of my grand children," Dadi maa asked frustrated,

"Dadi maa, why do you speak like I am your only grandson, Dev is there, Annie is there, get them married and play with their kids, and see the growth of future Khurana family," Maan said casually,

Maan then took a deep breath and turned to Dadi maa, "Dadi maa, listen, Girls needs extra care and pampering, like Annie, she needs someone to take care of her 24*7, if I am marrying a girl, I need to spend lots of time with her, take care of her needs, it's a extra responsibility, and I don't want that, it will disturb my business,"

"I am already filled with responsibilities, family to take care and Business to take care, because when dad died, he gave these responsibilities to me and I promised him I will do it well, and I am trying to do it well, so I don't need any more extra responsibilities," Maan said clearly,

"Maan why do you think like that all girls are not like Annie, when your Dada ji, started his business he was married to me, and I was too helping him in his business a lot for which he made me his business partner too, Maan, life partner can be business partners too, we share our responsibilities, both families and office's," Dadi maa argued,

"Because you are so brave and strong, but these days girls are opposite to it," Maan replied as he sat on the sofa, "no Maan, there are girls like me," Dadi maa pressed on and Maan thought she is not gonna leave him, until she gets the answer,

"Ok Dadi maa, find a girl like you brave and strong and who can handle my anger and attitude then I will decide, ok, until then no more "The Talks"" Maan quoted the last two words and went away towards his room,

"Maan, Your grand pa and I was successful not because we were strong and brave but we loved and cared for each other, I will too find such an girl for you who will also make you realize the power of love, god please help me in that," Dadi maa thought and prayed,

Part 7

Marital Tie

The whole room's mood totally changed with Geet's words, "yes, I will," she said firmly, Maan looked at her shocked and the others in the room smiled big,

"Geet, you don't have an completion, you can say what's in your mind," Maan asked unable to believe what he heard, "it's my decision" Geet said again, and before Maan could say anything, Dadi maa came and hugged Geet, "I am so happy Geet, I am so happy," Dadi maa kissed her forehead,

Maan was looking at her shocked and Geet too was looking at him, unable to say anything, she has to do it for her family,

Then Geet's Mom came and hugged her, "Thank you dear, thank you," she said, and her whole family came and hugged her, "Now, I will go and tell to the people out there, that my sister is not bad fated, she is such a lucky charm, thus, she is going to be a daughter in law of Khurana Family, now let me see what those guys say about my sister," Breej said and rushed out, with a smile

"Yes, we too will go and do the arrangements, I will go and ask the Pandit ji, that, should we have to do some puja, as the groom had been changed," Geet's Grand paa said and everyone left the room, except for Maan and Geet,

Maan was still in a shock, he thought she would never say yes to this marriage, she loved Armaan he thought, he can't bear that, he looked at Geet who was standing there with no tears or smile,

Seeing her Maan anger raised in her veins, "why the hell did you do that, damn, I said I will help you and you, you loved Armaan, then why?" Maan yelled at Geet making her to tremble, terrified of his anger,

"Because, I love my family more, I am sorry," she said crying, "Sorry, sorry," Maan kicked the floor, he felt trapped, now he would never be able to stop the wedding, no way, "I was wrong about you Geet, I was wrong,"

Maan's word hurt her, "you are so smart, I thought you are an innocent village girl, but you are not, you never loved Armaan truly, you were acting, faking, that you loved him, just for a good future and as he went away and as you found another rich family, you changed your minds just like that and you are ready to spend your life with me, how cheap could you get," Maan busted out in Anger,

Geet looked at him in shock and she can't bear his words, "no, you are wrong, I," Geet tried to speak in between her tears, "what, I am wrong, you love him truly, if you had, you would have try to help him, you should have waited for him, you should have trusted him, but no, you are ready for another marriage after a few minutes he vanished from here, now say should I believe you loved him,"

"Never, not him, I think you could not love anyone else, but remember one thing, Maan Singh Khurana is not a fool, I will handle you in my own way," Maan said he doesn't even know what all he said, it was his anger and frustration he had, he just walk out of the room, leaving Geet alone, taping the door with a bang,

Geet who was crying continuously fall on to the floor and started to cry even more better, Maan words as always never forget to make its mark, but this time it gave her pain, unbearable pain, "why Baba ji, why, what did I do, I always trusted you and believed you then why did you do this to me," Geet said aloud, lying on the floor,

*****************************************************************************

All the people gathered there were shocked due to this sudden change in the situation, something like this had never happened before in their village, Maan as he came out, his anger killing him, a small boy stood on his way, Maan looked at the small kid,

The little boy smiled unmindful of Maan's anger filled face, "Thank you," he said in his cute voice and Maan anger got a less reduced as he saw the cute little kid, but he asked for what, "you are going to marry my Geet didi na, so only, My mother said that you have a great heart, or else my Geet Dadi's life would be, would be," the little boy paused a minute,

"Ah, would be destroyed forever, thank you, you are so nice as my Geet Didi," the little boy said and ran away, Maan stood there, his anger reducing, just then he remember what all he said to Geet,

"Damn, what all I had spoken to her, hmmm, if it must be hard for me, then it must be too hard for her too, "you never loved Armaan truly, you were acting, faking, that you loved him, just for a good future", "how cheap could you get"," Maan words echoed in his ears,

"God, I must have hurt her to the core, but after all I said why did she accept for this marriage, why, why is she destroying my future," Maan thought frustrated, "There must be a way, there must be,"

"Maan, what are you doing here, everything is ready," Dadi maa said as she came near him, "Maan, you don't know what a big thing you did today, if your mom had been alive na, I can't tell you how happy and proud she would be, you saved the life of a girl and you saved a family's pride," Dadi maa as she held his face,

"Come on Maan, let's go in, Varmala's time had come," Dadi maa said and Maan didn't say anything, his mind was searching for a way, he can't accept her as his wife, he can't have a wife, he cursed himself for falling into the trap of Dadi maa and for coming here, he should have never come,

Dadi maa pulled Maan and took him inside, and made him to stand on the stage, then they bought Geet to the stage, Maan was still anger and upset on her, if only she had said a no, he would have done everything to help her, seeing her there, again created only anger, and he turned his face away,

"Geet, Maan ji" Geet's Bhabhi gave her and Maan the Varmala and Jaimala to exchange, they too did as they said, Geet didn't look at him, either Maan, then they made them to sit on a chair, then the Pandit ji came, and looked at both Maan and Geet,

"what is this, there is Raksha on the brides hand and there is nothing on the groom's hand, didn't you get a Raksha for the groom, he asked and a sudden tension hit the Geet's family, "Dadi maa," Maan called and whispered something in her ears,

Dadi maa smiled big, "one minute," she said and after a minute or so she came back with a Raksha, "here is one, that you gave to Maan," Dadi maa said as she gave Geet's mom the Raksha,

"This one, this one was with you," Geet's mom asked surprised, and Maan looked at her puzzled, "yes, on that day you gave me this, with the flowers from the temple," he answered roughly, "it's called God's wish," Geet's mom said tears filling her eyes, and everyone turned towards her,

"This is the Groom's Raksha that Pandit ji gave, that we thought we had missed it but here it is with Maan," Geet's mom said as she came front and prayed and tied the Raksha in his hands, "looks like the god himself had decided before even that only Maan and Geet should have the Marital tie," Geet's Bhabhi said with a smile,

"Not now, I think it's been made when Geet had been born, don't you remember, how Geet listened to Maan's words even when she was new born, it's like she had been born for Maan," Dadi maa said and Both Geet and Maan looked at each other,

The pain in Geet eyes was clearly seen, and the upset in Maan's face was also seen so clearly, "I am sorry, I had made you upset, I am sorry," Geet thought looking at his upset face, "Geet, you should have listened to my words now too, like you did when you are a baby, you should have trusted me, why did you say yes," Maan thought,

*****************************************************************************

Then Dadi maa made Maan and Geet to sit before the Agni, it was making both of them restless, Geet remember sitting there just a half an hour before, with Armaan, she was smiling at him, seeing her dreams in his eyes, his smile making her blush, but it was just a vanished cloud now,

Now, she is sitting with Maan, the person whom she respected all her life, and now he is so upset because of her, his anger filled words was still giving her pain, he looked at her, he was not anger now, but he was not happy too, she wanted to holding his hand and ask sorry and stop the marriage,

Geet then saw her family standing around, everyone smiling big as before, her Grandfather, standing with the same pride before, her one word had made this difference, "I will bear the pain, I will hide my pain, destroy my dream, for my family, I will, and for hurting Maan ji, I will do anything, anything to get it right, I will do whatever he says, without going against it," Geet thought,

Then the Pandit asked Geet's grand paa to do the Kanyadaan and he too came forward and took Geet's hand and Gave it to Maan, and the Maan too did what the pandit said, then he gave him the Sindur and asked Maan to keep it on Geet's forehead,

Maan looked at Geet, who was looking at him, "Maan," Dadi maa touched his shoulders and Maan took the Sindur and kept on Geet's forehead, Geet's eyes filled up, she closed her eyes and controlled her emotions,

Then the Pandit ji gave the Mangalsutra, Maan took the Mangalsutra and looked at Geet who was still closing her eyes, and paused for a minute, he never even dreamt of a situation like this, he and marriage, he want to throw the Mangalsutra away and get away from here,

"Maan," Dadi maa again touched his shoulders and he controlled his emotions and he tied the Mangalsutra on her neck, Geet's tears fall from her eyes and rested on Maan's hand and he looked at her face, it seems like she would break down any minute,

Then Pandit ji asked them to round the Agni and they too did the same as he said, Dadi maa, tied them together and they rounded the Agni, "God, I am just doing it for my Dadi maa," Maan thought, "Just for my Family," Geet thought as walked around the Agni,

Then the Pandit declared that the Marriage rituals are completed and he declared Maan and Geet as Husband and wife, then Dadi maa held Geet and Maan and walked down the stage, Geet tears started to flow like a furious river, she hugged her Grand Paa and cried her heart out,

"Maan beta, you don't know what a big thing you had done, thank you, and if Geet's does something wrong please don't get anger on her, from today, she will be your family, she will do as you wish, just take care of her, she is an wonderful girl and we only taught her to love," Geet's Grand paa said still hugging her,

"Geet, do as they say, respect them, and be a good daughter in law and a wife and make us proud and don't forget us, do come back to visit us when you can," Geet's Grand paa said as he pulled her away and everyone else came by and hugged her and blessed her,

Then Maan sat inside the car and Dadi maa made Geet too to sit inside the car and then she too sat in and the car took off, as the car passed the village, Geet saw that all her expectation and her dreams are left behind and her future ahead is totally un known and scary,
