Rishab:When Geet put her foot inside our house itself I had attack.Now we heard that when Geet was born Padminiji's husband also got pralysed.From this we understand that Geet is a bad omen.
Mohindar lost his control:Enough.My Geet is our gem.Don't utter anything bad about her.
Gautami:How coul you say such things about our Geet?
Rishab:I was only telling the truth.Padminiji,you just think carefully.When your niece was born itself your husband met with an accident.Don't you think that...?
Padmini burst out:Stop it Rishabji.
Abhay's accident was our fate.It has nothing to do with Geet's birth.We never thought about Geet like that.Her birth was a blessing.Only poisonous people can talk like this.Don't utter a word against our Geet.
Rishab got angry.He said in his mind:You all insulted me.You all will pay for it.
Mohindar:Geet...usually initial stage of marriage is sweet like a dream.But you are suffering?
G:No papa.Nthing like that.
Mo:Then what he said...
G:But all are very loving.
Maan:Papaji,I apologize on behalf of my family.Sorry for everything.
Moh:It's ok Maan.
Maan:Papaji,I promised you that I will take care of Geet.I won't let her cry at all.
G:Yes papa.Maan is a supportive husband.
Mohindar was relieved.Gautami and Padmini were happy as Maan is there to support Geet.
Mo:Savitriji...now we are going..
S:Have food and go.
Mo:No.Our stomach is full.
Gau:Geet beta...take care of yourself.
Pad:Geet...be strong and believe that you are God's gift.
Geet tried hard to smile for them.
They went out.
Geet's tears flowed down.
She went inside.Maan went after her.
M:Geet...don't cry.Don't listen to Mamaji.He is mad.
G:But Maan...when I was born only bua started suffering.I can't forget what Mamaji said.Is my birth itself a mistake?
M:Oh Geet...I told you.Don't listen to mamaji.He is crazy.Really orthodox.
He wiped her tears.
M:You don't stress yourself.Take bath and change your clothes.You will feel better.
Geet took a quick careless bath as she was too upset to be in the water for long.She came out wearing a simple salwar Kameez.Maan had also changed his attire.Maan looked at her.Still she looked gloomy and tired.
M:Geet!
She looked at him painfully.She looked pathetic.He felt sad.He carried her in his arms.They kept looking at each other's eyes. He placed her on the bed.
He caressed her hair.
M:Geet...don't worry about anything.I am with you.
Geet became very emotional.He kept caressing her head.Slowly she slept off.
He looked at her painfully.
M:I am sorry Geet.I promised your father that I will always keep you happy.Even though I wanted you to be happy things went beyond my control and I failed in making you happy.In my presense also your family members got insulted.I am sorry Geet.Please forgive me.
The next day...
Rishab called Niharika:Sweety!
N:Why are you yelling bhai?
R:For you i checked the horoscope again and I got new information which git unnoticed before marriage.
N:What bhai?
Maan,Geet and Savitri came.
R:If Geet continues to stay here as Maan's wife his life can also be in danger.
All were shocked.Geet was shattered.
N:My God!Is it true bhai?
R:Yes Sweety...I swear..
N:Oh God!Now what will we do?
Maan:Rubbish!Mamaji...for heaven sake stop this.
R:Maan beta,I am telling this for your safety.
M:Safety?Nonsense...If you say this again i won't tolerate it again.Understand.
Rishab became dim.
N:But Maan...if Mamaji is right...
M:Mom...though dressing wise you are modern inside you are so narrow minded.
Niharika was embarrassed.
N:I am just concerned about you beta.
M:But you should not show concern by hurting Geet.
Niharik kept quiet.
M:Geet...let us go.
Maan held her hand and went out of the room.
Rishab:Sweety...however modern we are old beliefs like astrology can't be ignored.Maan will understand it one day.
Niharika was confused.
The next day...
Rishab screamed:Sweety...auntiji...
They all came.
N:Why are you again screaming bhai?
R:Maan rang me up.He had an accident.
Everyone was shocked.
N:Maan...
Niharika cried.
Savitri:Maan beta...is he alright?
Geet got scared:Maan...Maan...Mamaji...what happened to my Maan?Tell me...
R:Maan has gone to the hospital to get bandaged.He will come after some time.
Geet was panting.
After some time Maan arrived.His forehead was bandaged.
Niharika cried and touched his forehead:Maan,what happened beta?Such a big injury.
Savitri:Maan beta,how do you feel now?
Geet shed tears:Maan...
Maan looked at Geet softly:Don't worry Geet.I am fine.It's a small wound.Just put a bandage.Nothing to worry.
Geet was relieved.
Rishab:See,I told you that marriage with Geet can put Maan's life in danger.What I have said has come true.Maan had an accident.
All were shocked.
