Geet woke up from the bed.She looked at Neetu sleeping.She felt sad.
Geet thought:My God!I am helping her.At the same time I am cheating on her.She loves me thinking that I am her Muskaan.But actually I am not even her daughter.
Geet took bath and chnged her clothes.Then she came out.Pari came to her.
P:Hi Geet...today is mummiji's birthday.All are excited.Daddyji and Raj have booked a cake for today' birthday party.
Geet was surprised.She went to the room and waited for Neetu to wake up.
When Neetu woke up Geet wished her:Happy birthday mom.
Geet kissed her cheek.
Neetu was very happy:Every year you were the first person to wish me Happy Birthday.This time also'
Geet smiled.
Anupam and Rahul were very happy to see Neetu happy with Geet.
In the evening everyone got dressed up for Neetu's birthday party.
Geet wore a grand green saree.
As usual Maan lost his control seeing his beauty in green.She blushed.
He held her hand.
M:Geet!
His fingers travelled all over her shoulder.He looked at her romantically.
G:Maan'what are you doing?leave me.If mom sees us together'
M:So you started calling her mom?
She smiled:Some how I started feeling that she is my mom.
M:That' ok.But don't feel that you are Muskaan.If so I and Shubh will lose you.
Geet became dull.
G:Maan'why are you talking like this?Geet is only Maan's and Shubh is always ours.Got it?
M:I am sorry Geet.
G:It's ok.But never talk like this again.
M:Ok'Promise.
Geet smiled.
When Geet came out Anupam and Raj approached her.
Anu:Geet'thank you so much.Because of you Neetu is very happy.
G:No need of thanking me uncle.
Anu:Geet'please don't call me uncle.I feel nice when you call me dad in front of Neetu.Wen she is not with us also please call me dad.I feel better.
Geet smiled:Yes dad.
Anupam became very happy.
Anu:I can't believe that you are not Muskaan.When you call us dad and mom I feel that Muskaan with us.
Anupam became very emotional.
Geet became upset.Anupam went away.
G:Raj'what happened to Muskaan actually?
R:That's a sad story Geet.Muskaan was our Princess.So mom wanted her to get a Prince.But Muskaan fell in love with my friend Rahul.They met each other at my birthday party.We never thought that the friendship which brewed between them at the party would turn into love soon.
But mom was against it.Muskaan was depressed as for the first time mom stood against her wish.Mom even warned Rahul to get out of her life.So Rahul left the place.In that depression Muskaan went out.She could'nt concentrate on driving because of her troubled mind set.So an accident took place and she left us.
Raj shed tears.
R:Mom could'nt accept reality.She was mentally troubled.She thinks that Muskaan left the house in anger.She does'nt know that she lost Muskaan forever.I don't know how she will react when she comes to know that you are not her daughter.But as we promised when she recovers completely we will tell her the truth.
Geet became upset.
G:Raj'where is Rahul?
R:I don't have any contact with him now.But I don't think he knows that Muskaan is not alive.
G:Oh!
Geet held Neetu's hand:Mom...now it's time for you to cut the cake.
Neetu cut the birthday cake and fed Muskaan first.Later she fed Anupam,Raj and Pari.
Neetu looked at Geet emotionally:I know that while you are smiling also you are sad.Because I did a big mistake to you.But on this happy occasion I want to correct my mistake.I want my daughter to be happy again.
G:Mom'I did'nt understand anything.
Neetu pointed her finger towards the entrance.There she could see a man entering.Geet could'nt recognize him.But Anupam and Raj were shocked.
R:Rahul!
Geet heard this.
She thought:This is Rahul?
Neetu:Muskaan beta'because of me you lost Rahul once.But I won't let you lose him.
I brought him back for you Muskaan.
Everyone was shocked especially Geet and Maan.
Neetu smiled:Muskaan...are you happy now?
Geet did'nt know what to say.
