Marital Tie - A Journey In Marriage
Part 8
The Beginning or The End
Maan nor Geet didn't speak to each other or even looked at each other, both were staring outside through the glass window, and thinking about their fate,
Geet was so not sure what will happened next, all she wanted was to be in love and happily married to a person who loves her but now all her dreams and life is in the hands of the man who is sitting next to her,
There no love between them but there was lots of hated between them; there is only pain and tears between them, "Baba ji what have you written for me, why are you doing this to me and Armaan, what happened to him, how will I know that now, please help him, I wish atleast his life will be good,"
Maan too was thinking how to stop his life being caught in to the marriage, he was thinking like a business man now, lots of options coming up, "now I had to think something that will not hurt her life nor mine, I don't want to be in this relationship, but what to do, how," Maan thought as he was comparing his ideas,
"There must be a way, there must be," Maan thought as he was looking out, Dadi maa was the one person who was so happy now, finally she got Maan married to someone, and that someone is the girl she loved, "Maanavi, look I had made your son married to your favourite girl, may be it's all because of your wish and blessings, now be with them and help them to start a new life, I am so happy, I wished you were here to bless them, but no problem I know you will be happy, where ever you are," Dadi maa was talking to her heaven placed daughter in law,
"oh how will Dev and Annie, believe this, they will be shocked, oh I can't wait till I get to Delhi, and all our relatives will get anger as they can't come to the wedding, well it was not planned, we have to arrange for a big party and call all our relatives and announce the marriage," Dadi maa thought,
Maan and Geet's car stopped and they looked at each other, "Maan, our flight is tomorrow morning only, so we will stay here in this hotel till morning, ok," Dadi maa said and Maan nodded his head,
Then Maan took Dadi maa on the steps and Geet was standing near the car, Maan then went towards her, "Geet, come" He said in a firm stern tone, and Maan stepped aside and asked her to move forward and Geet to went forward,
As Geet walked inside the hotel she was feeling some kind of shiver and Maan was closely following her, her heart was beating high, she had ever been to any five star hotel before, the new place gave her a chillness, suddenly Geet skid and fall backwards due to the Marble smoothness of the floor,
But Geet only fall on to Maan, who held her by his one arm, Geet was stud, she would not have been worried this much even if she had fallen on to the floor, Maan's closeness made her more nervous, it tensed her, she was terrified even to move a bit,
Geet then slowly turned to look at Maan, his reaction was same, their face just an inches away, they could feel their hot breath on each other, for a minute they forgot who they were, where they are and was staring into each other eyes,
"Geet, are you alright, careful dear," Dadi maa's voice made them to break their stare and then Maan push her straight and looked around and went to the reception deck,
*************************************************************************
As Maan went to book the rooms, and the Manager immediately recognized Maan and rushed to him, welcoming him with a big smile, "it's an honor to meet you sir, I am Rakesh, Manager of this hotel, how many rooms do you want sir,"
And Maan thought for a second "Two four bedded suite and two, two bedded suite",
"Sir, we are in lack of two, two bedded rooms for you, but right now, two of our guests are moving out, if you give us a few minutes, we will check them out and arrange the rooms for you" the Manager said, and he gave the four bedded rooms key,
"Rishi, you and our securities go and occupy these rooms, will call you in the morning," Maan said and he gave the room keys to his driver, and went to Dadi maa, "Dadi maa, our rooms will be arranged soon and just wait for a few minutes here, I will be back soon," Maan said to his Dadi maa and went out,
Dadi maa who was sitting with Geet, looked at her thinking something, "Geet, beta, wait here I will be back now," Dadi maa said and called for the Manager and was having an conversation, but Geet wasn't interested in that and so was sitting still,
Maan who came out thought that he had to do something before he goes to Delhi, before it's too late, and most of all Before Dadi maa does anything again, but what, he thought as he stood outside, the fresh air and the night atmosphere and the calmness was helping him,
Maan then got an idea, and analyzed it, "Perfect, it's the best idea, so nor Geet or I could have to be tied in this situation anymore, but Dadi maa, well she too had to obey my words, I had done what she said and she promised she will go as I say once the marriage is over, so she had too."
Maan grinned for the first time after a long two days and now he was feel the same power and confidence in him, then he took his phone and called someone,
"I want it to reach Delhi, before I enter into my house, understand, ok, bye," Maan said as he cut the call and he felt relaxed,
*****************************************************************************
When Maan came inside the hotel, after a few minutes of relaxation, the Manager said him, that his room keys are give to Dadi maa and they both gone to their rooms, " sir, the room numbers are 205 and 213," the manager said and Maan nodded and went away,
"First will check 205, may be Dadi maa and Geet will be in that room, then will get the keys and got to my room, I need a good sleep after all this confusion", Maan thought and went to room no 205,
As Maan walked there he saw Geet and Dadi maa standing outside, and looks like Dadi maa was saying something to Geet, Dadi maa stopped her conversation as she saw Maan, then she forced Geet to go in and she too went in and closed the door behind her,
"What the," Maan rushed to the door, "Dadi maa, open the door, now," Maan said as he tapped the door, "will you open the door now or not," Maan asked finally and stepped away and turned to walk away in anger,
"Maan," Dadi maa's voice came from behind and he turned around and looked at her standing with a smile, "Dadi maa, what's all this, gave me my bag, and my room key," Maan asked as he went near her,
"Room key, you want your room key, then go and take it, it's inside this room only," Dadi maa said with a grin and Maan then went inside the room, frustrated by Dadi maa drama and got shocked, the room was perfectly decorated for his first night and Geet was sitting there holding her knees with an tensed face,
Maan immediately back away from the room, shocked, Geet looked at him, and had no idea what he was thinking, what if he too finally accepted her as his wife and want to start a new life, and what if he comes back and she closed her eyes unable to think,
"But how could I stop or refuse, he is my husband now, and he has all the rights on me and I am suppose to act according to his wish only, but my heart still haven't accepted this relationship, I still can't see him as my husband and how will I explain this to him, Baba ji help me," Geet prayed and was sitting there,
*****************************************************************************
"Dadi maa, what the hell was that," Maan busted out as soon as he saw his Dadi maa, "how could you even think this,"
"Maan, what did I do, I just arranged for your first night and it's also a custom for all the husband and wife," Dadi maa said, "Dadi maa, please stop this drama, whom do you call a husband and wife, Dadi maa, that girl, loved a guy and she was suppose to spend her entire life with him, and it got destroyed in minutes just before five or six hours ago,"
"And I who don't have any interest in marriage, haven't even thought of that, got into this bond, just like that, just because of you, and now you want us to start our new life just like that and celebrate a first night, how could you," Maan asked frustrated with the thought,
"Dadi maa, she accepted the marriage just for her family and I accepted it just for you, now too I don't want any relationship or extra responsibilities or anything to come between me and my business," Maan said firmly,
"But Maan she is your wife now, and you are her husband, even if you do like it, it's the fact," Dadi maa said, "Dadi maa, you will know tomorrow, when we reach our home, what the actually fact is," Maan said with a grin scaring Dadi maa, "Maan I don't know about that all, now go to your room," Dadi maa said finally and went away,
Maan then took a deep breath and went inside the room, seeing Maan, Geet got tensed, she started to shiver, Maan as he walked near her, Geet felt like she would die now due to her raising heart beat,
Maan then sat neat her, Geet was scared to death, she don't know what to do if he touches her, she looked at her feet holding her knees, Maan then moved a bit away and laid on the left side corner of the bed and was facing the wall, Geet too then went and laid on the right side corner of the bed facing the wall, but both of them didn't get any sleep,
Geet can't understand what's in Maan's mind, but she decide to go by his words and wish, whatever it may be, Maan too was thinking about tomorrow, how he is going to convince Dadi maa he thought and he turned around to face the roof,
"But it's for the betterment only, hope Geet too understands it," Maan thought as he looked at Geet, "it's for her good," he thought and closed his eyes, Both Maan and Geet don't know when they slept, Maan was the one who wake up early as the sun hit his face, he turn to see Geet lying facing him,
Her calm face showed how innocent she is, her dried away tears marked its place on her cheeks, she had a slight smile in her lips, unmindful of the events that she went throw, Maan was staring at her mesmerizing face, a few inches away from his, her dupatta was misplaced and her bare skin was clearly seen from her neck to her upper chest,
Maan had never been so close to any girl before, Maan raised his hands and try to touch her face, but stopped himself before he touched her, and he jumped from the bed immediately, and looked at her tensed, he then went near her and took the blanket and cover her up and went away,
"I should reveal my decision as soon as possible, it's will be good for both of us," Maan thought as he stood under the shower, "as so as we reach Delhi," Maan decided,
Part 9
Maan's decision
When Geet woke up, she smiled as usual and prayed, but her smile disappear as she saw Maan standing before the mirror, the Reality hit her badly, she was wishing that everything should have been a dream and when she woke up she will be in her house, in her bed, having Rachi sleeping besides her,
But no, it was real, Maan saw her waken up, "Get ready, the flight is in one hour," Maan said in his rough voice, "Geet, where is your passport," He asked and Geet looked at her Bag and Maan nodded,
Geet then went inside the washroom, and Maan went and took her bag to get her passport as he opened her bag, he saw a small doll, the small frocks and an old Saree, and a family photo, her childhood photo, Maan looked at the happy girl in the photo and a grin appeared on his face seeing her smile,
But it disappeared soon and he searched in, and as he got the passport he arranged the things back in and went away, Geet came out and took her dress to change and went inside the washroom to change,
"let's go, Dadi maa is waiting for us in the lobby, you take the bags," Maan said to hotel guy and walked up, and Geet followed him, "Dadi maa," Geet went and hugged her and got her blessings, "always be happy dear," Dadi blessed,
As Maan went to check out, "Geet, Last Night, did Maan, I mean did he scold you or was harsh on you or hurt you," Dadi maa asked worried, "Dadi maa, he would never do such a thing, in fact, he didn't even say a word," Geet said looking at him and turned to Dadi maa,
"I too wished so angry out bust from him, for what I had put him thru but he was an sheer gentle man Dadi maa," Geet said as her respect for him was as same as before, he didn't react or say a word that was too much for her, though she knew how much he was upset because of her,
"Dadi maa lets move," Maan said and they moved with him, without a word, Maan sat in the front leaving Dadi maa and Geet to the back seat to occupy, they reached the airport and the Maan's securities were busy in getting their tickets and things,
"Dadi maa, just take the hand luggage's as Rishi and the securities will come in the car, and they will reach tomorrow with our other luggage's ," Maan said and Dadi maa and Geet too did the same,
Seeing the Airport and planes, Geet was getting Armaan's memories, he always used to talk about the flights and how much he loved his job, Geet did her best to control her tears, "Hello, sir, I am Suraj, I will be your Pilot, it's an honor to meet you sir," a Guy in white uniform said as they were walking and Maan shook hands with him,
As the guy went that side, Maan turned to see Geet's eyes filled with tears, he could understand her situation, he looked at her, an anger raised in his eyes as she was responsible for it and also he felt pity for her, as she too was under compellation like him,
"But no problem, both our problems will be solved soon, I will solve it," Maan thought and then they boarded the flight and in no time they reached Delhi,
There was a car waiting for them there and they got in, Dadi maa feeling excited and Geet was feeling nervous and Maan was waiting for the reach,
As the Car reached Khurana Mansion, before a big Gate, the driver pressed the horn and the gate was opened and the car entered in, Geet was stud and shocked, she had never seen a place like this, is this a house or a palace, the huge mansion made Geet even more nervous,
As the Car stopped Geet stepped down, the garden was so big, the whole mansion must be as big as her whole village, there was a huge line of cars parked there, and also a black, Toyota Jeep,
"That one is his favourite, Maan loves camping and forest riding and that jeep is his companion," Dadi maa noticing Geet's look and then took her towards the house,
"Maan wait a minute," she said as she held Geet hands and made to stand near Maan, "You both wait here I will bring the Aarti, and balance rituals I will do tomorrow asking the Pandit ji," Dadi maa as she entered,
"No need for that all", he said and dragged Geet's hand and walked in the house, "Maan, what are you doing, she is this house daughter in law and she is entering this house for the first time and,"
"Enough dadi maa, this daughter in law, wife, husband, all drama, enough," Maan said frustrated keeping his hands on his hips, "Drama, what do you call a drama, Maan you are married to her, she is your wife and this house's Daughter in law, this is the fact,"
"Fact, Fact, Fact is that, this girl loved someone else and she said yes to the marriage suppressing her pain just to save her family's pride and I married her for you, for your pride, that's all, this tie between us was a compelled one and can't create any relationship," Maan said his anger busting out.
"Maan what are you saying, compelled or not, she is your wife now, this can't be changed" Dadi maa said in a low voice and she was scared of Maan speaking like this,
"It can be changed, I will change it" Maan said in his high tone, Geet was standing there just like a statue not knowing what to do or say, Maan's anger scared her, but his words had truth, his anger is justified and Dadi maa was also right, she is Maan's wife now, isn't? Geet was confused and was looking at Maan, who was roaring like a lion,
"There is no need to for us to live like this, I am sorry Dadi maa, I did what you said and you are suppose to do what I say now, you promised, I am telling you again, my love and my passion is on only one, and I can't let anyone to ruin it or come between me and my life, understand," Maan said firmly,
"Maan what have you decided?" Dadi maa asked over coming her fear, Before Maan could answer a guy in blue uniform tapped the door, "Sir, courier for Mr.Maan Khurana," the guy said and Maan went and signed and got the envelope, seeing the envelope Maan had a grin around his face,
"What is Maan?" Dadi maa asked puzzled by his huge grin, "The solution for my problem," Maan said and Dadi maa looked at Geet who was staring at her and then to Maan,
"Solution?" Dadi maa asked, Maan the opened the envelope and pulled out some papers from it, and put that on the table, Dadi maa and Geet looked at it, "It's a mutual divorce papers," Maan said shocking both Geet and Dadi maa,
"what, are you crazy, this is not funny Maan, yesterday you married a girl and today you are giving her a divorce notice, don't you think of what will happen to her?" Dadi maa asked unable to bear the shock,
"Dadi maa, did you think what will happen to her, how she will feel when you kept the marriage proposal," Maan said and pulled Geet by her arms and made her to stand before Dadi maa, "she lost the person she loved, she had seen her dreams being destroyed before her eyes, and you instead of supporting her, helping her, pushed her into another relationship against her will"
"And did you think about me, you know very well, that I hate to get Married, you know what is my love and passion, where my desire and happiness lies, but no, all you thought about was your pride and this girls families pride and we both accepted it just our families, but we can't live with it, I can't live with it, understand," Maan said and held Geet's arms and turned her around,
"Geet, listen to me, I really don't want this marriage, I never even dreamt of getting married, never, and I know you too don't want this marriage, I know whom you like, listen this divorce, we can get only after a year, it's a rule that we should atleast been lived a year of our marriage life, so even if you sign it, it will take a year to get divorced,"
"But you don't have to worry, you can stay in this house, just like a guest, you won't have any responsibilities, and in this one year, if you want to study, you can study, if you want to work, you can work, you can be as free as you are in your house,"
"You will have no completion or no restriction and after one year, if you like to marry someone you can marry him, forget that you are married to me, ok, forget that ever happened," Maan said in a firm and stern voice and Geet was looking at him like she was in some kind of horror movie
"Maan what are you speaking, this is not fair Maan, this is not Fair," Dadi maa said with tears,
"yes it was not fair of you to get me married, to trap me there, giving me an emotional blackmail, you wanted to save the girl, I did, you wanted to save her family's pride, I did, you want me to break a bad myth, I did, that's all, now, it's your turn, please understand me, and allow me to do this," Maan said, and "Geet," Maan turned around to her and was shocked and surprised,
"Geet", Dadi maa screamed as she saw Geet kneel down on the floor and was signing the divorce papers that Maan put on the table, then she stood and took the paper and gave it to Maan, Maan looked at her blank face, no smile, no tears, no reaction, Maan got the paper and checked it and she had signed all the places correctly,
"Thank you," Maan said as he folded the papers, "that will be your room", Maan showed a Room and Geet nodded, and then Maan went away,
And he paused after a few steps, "And ah, this Marriage will be known only to the people inside these walls, according to other, Geet is our cousin and she is only a guest here, nothing more that understand, this will be good for her future and my present, hope you understand," Maan said and went away,
Dadi maa and Geet stood there frozen for a few minutes, Dadi maa was under utter shock, she can't believe what just happened, she turned to Geet who was standing there with her tears,
"Geet, why did you do like this, why," Dadi maa asked holding Geet, then she broke down into Dadi maa hold, "Na dear, please don't cry, I will talk to Maan, he will," Dadi maa said and Geet looked at her,
"No Dadi maa, I had already troubled him so much, because of my bad fate, he too got into this troublesome situation, and he already did what he can, it's not fair to ask him for more, he is right, he didn't wish to marry me, or there's no need for him to be tied with me, why should he bear an life he hates for my sake, it's not right Dadi maa, it's not," Geet said between her tears,
"I had always listen to his words, I will do that now too, before he got so anger as I didn't listen to him, but I won't do the mistake again, I will listen to whatever he says," Geet said and went to the room which Maan showed her,
"God, what's happening in this house, what will I do, what will I do, now, god, please help me," Dadi maa prayed as he sat down on the sofa, holding her head, unable to do nothing,
(After one week)
"Dadi maa," Dev came in throwing his bag on to the sofa and hugged Dadi maa, she smiled a bit, "Dadi maa, after two weeks I had come and you are not happy to see me," Dev said as he stood up,
Just then Geet came from the kitchen, and Dev looked at her and then at Dadi maa, "Dadi, who is this?" Dev asked looking at Geet,
"Dev, this is Geet, Geet, this is Dev," Dadi maa said and Geet smiled once and went to her room, "Dadi maa who is this, our relative ah," Dev asked, "Yes, your close relative, your Bhabhi, Maan's wife," "What?" Dev asked shocked and surprised,
Part 10
Dev's Plan
Dev was frozen hearing what Dadi maa just said, "Bro, Marriage, when, I mean, how, and why didn't you say this to me, I am his brother, Dadi maa what's happening," Dev said as he can't control his feelings,
"I will tell you everything," Dadi maa said as she made Dev to sit near her and told him everything, Dev was so shocked and don't know what to say, and hearing Maan's decision about his divorce,
"What, Bro, did like this," Dev jumped from his sofa, "Dadi maa what have you done, you know bro very well, he hates marriage and he hates compelling situation, he get too much angry when someone compels him to do something and you knew it right, then why did you do so," Dev asked knowing his brothers feelings,
"I know Dev, all that I was thinking at that time was to save Geet's life and to get your brother married, I thought if I leave this chance he will never get married, until I compel him, and push him, and I thought once the wedding is over I will somehow, will patch up their relationship, but Maan, Maan had decided something that is killing me now," Dadi maa said crying and holding her head,
Dev went near her and held her by her shoulders, "Dadi maa, please, please don't cry, I can understand, I know after that Magazine interview you were so worried and so you wanted to get bro into an relationship as soon as possible, according to you what you did was right" Dev said as he held her,
"but why didn't you call me," Dev asked looking into her teary face, "Maan said that until you come here, I am not suppose to say anything, you know na, some press company was tapping our phone calls before three months, Maan wants' to make sure that, his marriage secret should not go out in any case," Dadi maa said as she wiped her tears,
" now I had destroyed both life, Maan now doesn't talks to me and Geet, the girl who never stops talking and smiling and forgot how to speak or to smile," Dadi maa said as her tears run down her cheeks again,
"Dadi maa, please, maybe, being together, they might start liking each other and in one week, if the great Maan Singh Khurana can get married, then think what all can happen in one whole year, May be they would understand each other and get comfortable and after that they may even like each other, Dadi maa let's wait and have some hope," Dev said trying to convince Dadi maa and also himself,
"I don't know Dev, I don't want them to have a divorce and I am sure if Maan gets out of this marriage he will never be married again, ever again, and Geet is such a good girl, fun filled, and responsible, well educated, well mannered and most of all respects Maan words so much," Dadi maa said as she stood up and Dev too followed her,
"Then give them sometime Dadi maa," Dev said and Dadi maa turned tensed, "Time, it's been one week and they haven't seen each other's face even once, in this one week, I think they would have forgotten each other's face now,"
"Maan gets ready and goes to the office at 8 and comes back only at 11, and Geet never comes before him, she is following his orders perfectly, she will be in the kitchen till he goes to the office and she would have been slept when he comes home, this is hell worrying me," Dadi maa said as she looked at Dev who was listening to her words carefully,
Dev was thinking big as he could, he knew Maan's attitude and also his heart, he is not stone hearted person, he can feel the love and care and he can also show love and affection, Maan was the one who cared, loved and bought up him and Annie, so he knew he has also got an mothers affection and a fathers care,
He thought for a long time, "Hmmm, I will meet my Bhabhi and come," Dev said and went to Geet's room,
*****************************************************************************
"Can I come in," Dev asked as Geet was standing near a window looking outside, she turned around as she heard Dev's voice, "Hi, I am Dev, I am sorry I don't know who you are, so only didn't speak much, please do feel bad Bhabhi,"
"Bhabhi", after one whole week, this word had given her the fact that she is Maan's wife, this house's daughter in law, this word somehow gave her tears, but she controlled herself, seeing her silence Dev could make out her feeling,
"Bhabhi, I know you are hurt due to bro, but please don't think bad of bro, he is such an nice person, in this whole wide world, a bit tough but just outside, his heart is as soft as roses," Dev said with a smile and concern,
"you don't have to say anything, I can understanding him, whatever he is doing is right, and he had done a great deed to me, and I am always thankful to him, and I am so happy that atleast in some means I am helping your brother to come out of this difficult situation," Geet said with a weak smile and excused herself and went away,
"Hmmm looks like she doesn't hate or hurt by bro, but what's in bro's mind," Dev thought with a smile
****************************************************************************
Dev waited till night to met Maan, "Hey bro," Dev called out as soon as Maan entered the house and rushed and hugged him, "Dev, how are you,"
"I am fine, but I am so upset on you, I am your brother and you got married without even informing me" Dev asked Maan, after a week someone had reminded him of his Marriage which he almost forgot,
Maan turned to look at Dev and his fake anger, Maan surely knows that Dadi maa would had said everything, and he also knew that Dadi maa and Dev had same idea when it comes to Maan's Marriage,
"By the way bro, I had met my Bhabhi, she is so nice, so beautiful, you both make a perfect pair, so why did you married her secretly bro, without even telling Me," Dev asked and Maan looked at him with a doubtful face, "didn't Dadi maa tell you,"
"No bro, she just introduced me to Bhabhi, and when I asked about the Marriage she asked me to ask you even, and when I met Bhabhi she too didn't say anything, she was so silent" Dev said the lie with as much as innocently he could,
"Dev, Just stop calling her Bhabhi again and again, just call her Geet," Maan said frustrated as Dev's words, reminded him of his compelled relationship,
"Bro, it will not be right to call her by her name right, she is your wife and I am suppose to give her the respect she holds, right" Dev asked again, "Dev just do as I say and later I will say you everything, I am tired now, you too go and sleep as it's late ok," Maan said as walked upstairs,
Maan stopped as he climbed two steps, "And ah, don't ask about the marriage or anything to Geet, she is already upset about certain things, she would get hurt if you ask her and don't call her Bhabhi ok," Maan said without even turning back and climbed without even wait for Dev's yes,
"Ok, so Bro has a soft corner of Geet, he feels she is upset and doesn't want to hurt her and Geet too respect bro so much, hmmm, looks like it is not a hard job, but how to get these guys together, how, think Dev, think," Dev said as he walked here and there in the hall,
"There must be a way, and I need to find it soon," Dev thought as he sat on the sofa,
****************************************************************************
Dev didn't sleep at all, he was thinking and thinking and he finally got a idea at 2.00 clock at night and so he started to plot his plan correctly, and he was waiting eagerly for the Morning to come up,
At 4.00 in the morning Dev sneak into Maan's room and turned off his alarm clock and waited in his room, At 6, Dev freshen up and went towards Dadi maa's room, and he saw Nakul going towards Maan's room, "Nakul, where are you going," Dev asked
Nakul said he is going to Maan's room to give his morning Coffee, but Dev stopped him and said not to disturb Maan, until he call him up, and Nakul too said an yes and went to the kitchen and then he went to Dadi maa's room,
"Dadi maa," Dev rushed in and hugged her, "Good morning Dev, what's the matter, looking so happy," Dadi maa asked,
"That's because I got a plan to make your wish come true," Dev said with a big smile, "How?" Dadi maa asked surprised,
"Dadi maa for it, you have to get seriously ill," Dev said and Dadi maa looked at him puzzled, "I mean you have to act like you are ill, it's the only way to make Bro stay home, and to get him close with Geet," Dev said and Dadi maa asked him what he was planning and Dev went near her ears and Whispered in her ears his plan,
"Dev, do you think this will work," Dadi maa asked, "will try Dadi maa, instead of waiting for something to happen we will even start it and see where it goes, and lets pray and hope it ends well," Dev said and Dadi maa too said ok,
"Ok Dadi maa, you get serious, I will call our family Doctor Sam and tell him to help us in this drama," Dev said and Dadi maa too said ok, "Ok Dadi maa I will go out," Dev said with a smile, "Where are you going Dev,"
"To get into a accident," Dev said and Dadi maa looked shocked, "Dadi maa Fake Accident," Dev said and Dadi maa asked why, "Dadi, if I am fine na, then bro will ask me to take care of you and he will go to the office, so only," Dev said and Dadi maa nodded,
"Ok Dadi maa, I will go now, all the best," Dev said and went out, as he rushed down, "Nakul," Dev called, "Look, after half an hour, go and inform to bro and Geet, that Dadi maa is serious and calling for them, Ok" Dev said and Nakul looked scared, he knew that it's a lie and he knew Maan hates being lied too,
Yet Dev ordered him to do as he said and Nakul too said ok and so Dev went out saying, "If Bro asks for me, say him that I had gone to met my friend, ok," He said and rushed out,

"Hell with the alarm, how did it turned off, thank god, today I have no meeting, oh this day had not started good," Maan said standing before the mirror and comb in hair, dressed for his Office,
"Maan sir, Maan sir," Nakul rushed in, "Maan sir, Dadi maa turned sick suddenly and she is calling for you," He said, "Dadi maa," Maan dropped the comb he was holding and rushed upstairs,
"Geet Ji, Geet ji," Nakul called up as he went to the Kitchen, "Geet Ji, Dadi maa turned sick suddenly and she is calling for you," He said, "Dadi maa", Geet looked shocked and rushed upstairs to dadi maa's room
Part 11
Dadi maa's drama,
Maan rushed to Dadi maa room so as Geet, "Dadi maa," Both Maan and Geet entered the room and saw Dadi maa laying on the bed with her eyes closed, Both Maan and Geet looked at each other, it's been one whole week since they met,
Maan looked at her face and her shining golden eyes, which always so filled with emotions, and Geet looked at Maan his hard face and his anger filled eyes, Maan then suddenly noticed her Mangalsutra as it was the only thing decorating her neck,
The only reminder of their relationship, Geet too followed Maan's glare and looked at the holy thing which turned meaningless in her life, for all other girls in the world, this small chain is a gifted precious one and the one who ties it turned to be her whole world, a protector, her god, her everything, but for her?
Dadi maa slightly opened her eyes to see Maan and Geet starting at each other, they didn't react, so "Maan," Dadi maa called and Maan broke his stare, and went and stood near her, "Dadi maa, I am here" he said,
"Geet," Dadi maa called and Geet went and stood near her, "Dadi maa," she called her, Dadi maa slightly raised herself from the bed and acted as if falling back,
"Dadi maa," Both Maan and Geet got scared and rushed and held her back, Maan held her back while Geet kept her hands on Maan's instead of holding Dadi maa, they both looked at each other,
Geet was already feeling emotional and her touch on Maan's hand made it worse, she immediately pulled her hands, seeing Maan anger filled glare at her, he is her husband whom she is not allowed to see or touch, but she deserves it she thought,
Maan looked at her, her eyes filling up, he don't know what to say, he was avoiding her not only because he is upset on her, but to avoid her eyes filled with pain, her pain was giving him pain and also guilty, though he convinced it was not his fault yet it made him feel responsible,
******************************************************************************
"Dadi maa, Dadi maa, what happened," Maan asked worried, "nothing Maan, I was not feeling well, but don't worry, it's not so serious, it's been like this for couple of days," Dadi maa said in a low voice,
"Couple of days, Dadi maa, why didn't you say this to me, why," Maan asked upset by her behavior, "I do what to make you upset, already you were anger on me and you were not speaking to me like before, so," Dadi maa said, tears filling her eyes, Dadi maa was acting but her tears and words were true and it hitting Maan's heart,
Maan then turned to Geet, "Geet," his voice gave her shiver and she looked at him scaried, "Atleast you could have told me na, why didn't you," Maan asked making Geet speechless, "Ji, o, I, I, I didn't know," Geet finally answered,
"You didn't know, you were here only know na, then," Maan asked and Geet got scared, "Maan, please," Dadi maa held his face, "I didn't tell her either, she don't know, really," Dadi maa said,
Then she turned to Geet, "she was already in pain, thinking that I am saving her life, I made it even more worse, I destroyed it completely, the girl who always smiles and talks Nonstop had now forgotten how to smile and speak, for doing this I can't forgive myself, or neither Maanavi will, I destroyed the life of a girl she loved," Dadi maa said tears flowing from her eyes, and Maan was speechless hearing his mother's name,
"Dadi maa please, don't speak like this all, you didn't do anything, you tried to help and you only helped me, see, I am happy only, please don't cry Dadi maa and please don't blame yourself," Geet said wiping her tears away and held her face on her hands,
"Dadi maa, you would always say na, that something's are prewritten and we can't change it and only can accept it, think my life too like that only, if it's written that I must have pain, then who else can change it and who can be blame, it's all Baba Ji's wish," Geet said tears running from her eyes,
Geet wiped her eyes and pulled up, "Ji, did you call the doctor," Geet asked and Maan felt an hit on his head, he forgot it, worrying about Dadi maa, and he pulled his mobile, "Maan, Nakul had already called him, he must be on his way," Dadi maa said,
Just as she said that Doctor enter, "Hello Mr.Khurana, hello Savitri Ji," Doctor Sam wished and went and sat near her, "Savitri ji, don't worry, Dev said everything, I will do as he said," He whispered to her as he was acting as if checking her,
Maan and Geet both stood at the foot of the bed on either end, "Look here Mr.Khurana, her BP is so low, her ECG results are not bright, I think she is so stressed and restless now, look here Mr.Khurana it's every important that you always keep her happy, even a small disappointment or tensed could turn hazards for her health," The doctor said as per Dev's words.
"Doctor, Medicines?" Maan asked, as he saw Doctor packing his things "The happiness you give her is the only medicine required for her," the doctor said, "Mr.Khurana I will be back in two days to check her, she will be alright, just take care of her happiness and keep her tension free" he added and went away,
"Maan, Geet," Dadi maa called as the doctor went away and they both went and sat near her, "don't worry, I will be alright as long as you and your love is with me," Dadi maa said as she held both Maan and Geet's face close to hers,
*****************************************************************************
"Damn, what have I done, my behavior had hurt her like this, no, it's not right, I should not have acted like that with Dadi maa, after all she only wanted me to be happy and had done everything, I should not have been this anger on her," Maan thought,
"Dadi maa you take rest," Maan said and went out to his room, he walked thinking about Dadi maa, "what to do, though what she did is wrong, I can't do this to her, I have to somehow make her feel better," Maan thought and went out of his room,
Maan saw Geet going upstairs with a glass of juice, "Geet," He called and Geet stopped as she was climbing the stairs and looked at Maan, "after giving the juice to Dadi maa, come to my room," Maan said and went inside,
Geet can't believe what she heard yet she decide to follow his words, Maan went and called Adi and said him to handle the day as he thought to stay back for Dadi maa, "hey, where is Dev?" Maan thought,
"Nakul, where is Dev?" Maan asked as he saw Nakul, "Maan sir, Dev sir had gone out in the morning even", he replied and Maan nodded and went in, then he thought to go and change and refresh himself and went inside the wash room,
Geet came down as she gave the juice glass to Dadi maa and she stood before Maan's room, she looked in but he was not there, she then entered the room, "Ji," she called out slowly, "Suniye," she called again and was looking around, "May be he had gone out," Geet thought and walked back,
As she came backward and when she was above to turn, Maan opened the wash room door and came out like a storm and they hit each other, lost their balance and fall on one other, Maan was on the bed and Geet was on Maan,
They both were stud, this was too much for them, Maan was holding her my her waist in his one arm and Geet was totally on him, her whole body was laid comfortable on his rock framed body,
****************************************************************************
Meri aankhon ki Syaahi
Piya deti har gawaahi
Mein pyasi thi nirashi
Tu pani ki surahi
Meri aankhon ki Syaahi
Piya deti har gawaahi
Geet didn't move or even wished to move, she was as usual mesmerized by his hard face and deep dark eyes shining at her,
*************************************************************************
Tujhe dekha to khila hoon
Teri chahat mein dhula hoon
Mile Mandir Mein jo
Mein to tujh mein yun mila hoon
Meri aankhon ki Syaahi
Piya deti har gawaahi
Meri aankhon ki Syaahi
Piya deti har gawaahi
Maan too didn't move or push her away; he didn't even take his hand holding her waist so tightly, she was so close to him, that he could smell her fragrance in his breathe, he was so straightly looking into her shocked and wide opened golden eyes,
***********************************************************************

Geet and Maan was looking at each other face, inhaling each other's breathe, sinking into each other's eyes, and living in another world, Geet's hearts started to beat fast and Maan tightened his grip on her and Geet looked at him, lost somewhere,
Maan looked at her face turning red and her eyes widening up bigger, he slowly held Geet's hand that she had placed on his chest, Geet was shocked as Maan held her hand tightly, they laid there with no movement then their slow breathing, lost somewhere in time,
(Song from the Movie "Raajneeti" "Bheegi si bhaagi si")
Part 12
Dev's Drama
It was like five minutes and Maan and Geet was still on the bed staring at each other, a sudden noise in the hall bought Maan to reality and he looked at Geet who was still staring at Maan, he then caught her hand tightly and pulled himself up along with Geet,
Geet too then come to the reality and she was speechless, they both stood there staring at each other again. They both turned around as they heard someone knocking the door, and it was Dev, "Dev," Maan yelled as he saw Dev in such a condition,
"What happened," Maan asked as he went and held Dev, and worried as he looked at the band aid in his neck and arms, Maan helped him and made him to sit on the bed and Geet was looking at them with shock,
"Dev, what happened," Maan asked again, worried, "Nothing bro, a small accident and I am ok, I went to the hospital, I am alright," Dev said as he sat on the bed,
"Where did this happened and why did you go on a self drive, and did you see who did it?" Maan asked worried and concerned, "Bro, I went to met my friend and no, I didn't see who did it, but I am ok Bro,"
"No Dev, no one is getting away like that hitting my brother like this, I will find him, just say me the place, I will find him," Maan said with his anger raising up, what? Dev thought as he got scared as his plan would back fire and he got dry cough and coughed high,
"I will get some water," Geet said and went away to get some water, then she came with the glass of water and gave it to Dev, and Dev caught it and drank it, "Bro, the mistake was mine, not his, so leave it na, and Nakul said Dadi maa is not feeling well, how is she" Dev asked as he gave the glass to Geet,
"Thank you Bhabhi," Dev said and looked at Maan, who glared at him, and then turned to Geet, "I mean, Thank you Geet," Dev said and Geet smiled,
"Bro, I will go and see Dadi maa and come," Dev said and went away, leaving Maan and Geet in the room, Geet too try to go away from the room, "Geet," Maan's voice made her to stop, turn around
****************************************************************************
"One minute Geet, I have to talk to you," Maan said and Geet went near him and stood looking at him,
"Geet, you know I love Dadi maa, more than my business, more than my life, I know you too like her," Maan said as he turned around and kept his hands on his hips, "Geet, Dadi maa is worried and I know it's because of me, I know, but," Maan said as he held his head,
"I can understand and it's natural that you can't help it too, you were upset, you were scaried that if you talked with Dadi maa you might hurt her by your words without your knowledge, so you were avoiding her," Geet said as if reading his mind,
Maan turned to look at her with shock, how did she knew it, he was searching for an answer in her eyes, "you don't worry I will take care of Dadi maa, I will keep her from worries as much as I can," Geet said and Maan nodded and turned around, as he forgot what he was planning to say to her,
"Ji, can I go now, have to prepare lunch," Geet asked as Maan haven't said anything and Maan nodded a yes, and she went away,
**************************************************************************
"Sir," a guy in a uniform called out standing at the door steps of Khurana Mansion as he saw Maan climbing the stairs, Maan went down towards the guy, "Sir, parcel for Mrs.Geet" the guy said and Maan nodded and Got the parcel and signed the papers,
He looked at the parcel and turned around to see the sender's address, it's from Reema, from Hosharpur, Maan took the parcel and walked in, "Nakul, Nakul," Maan shouted but he was nowhere,
"Where did he go now, "Ragul,"" Maan called, but no response, "what happen to all the servants in the house?" Maan thought and when to the kitchen by himself to give the parcel to Geet,
When Maan went to the kitchen, Geet was busy cutting some vegetables, but she was staring at the blank space and not at the vegetables and her eyes was tear filled, Maan stopped as he saw this,
"Geet," he called out slowly, but she didn't react, Maan let out a breathe, "Geet," he called out a bit loudly, suddenly pulling her back to sense, and this made her tremble and to cut her wrist instead of the vegetable, "ouch,"
"Geet," Maan rushed to her as he guessed what she must have done, and saw her wrist bleeding, "Geet don't you have any sense, while cutting vegetable you are suppose to look at it, not at the walls, look what have you done, god," Maan said frustrated and Geet didn't say anything but was looking down,
Maan caught her hand and pulled her to kitchen sink and opened the tap and kept wrist under the water, the cold water gave a pinching pain in her fresh cut and she closed her eyes tightly, Maan then looked at her cut, "thank god, it's not deep,"
Maan's voice made her to open her eyes, "you could have cut your veins understand, atleast after this keep your concentration on the things you are doing, ok," he said and paused and looked around,
"Where is our servants, and why are you doing this all," Maan asked, "o, o, our servants had gone on leave," Geet said putting Maan to shock, "what, everyone, you mean,"
"Yes," Geet said looking down, "on whose permission," Maan yelled making Geet to freak out and step back and dash on the kitchen platform and making the vessels to drop on the floor, making a big noise, Maan looked at her with his anger filled eyes, "Sorry," Geet said as she tried to pick the Vessels,
"Ouch" she winched as her hand hurts while picking the vessels, "Geet leave it, come out of the kitchen now," Maan said and Geet obeyed him without a no,
"Geet come with me," He said and walked to his room and she followed him
****************************************************************************
"Here, band aid your cut," Maan said as he gave her the first aid box, and Geet too got the box and took the band aid cloth and was wrapping her cut, "Stop," Maan said as he saw that, and Geet too stopped and looked at him, and stood up,
"what are you doing," Maan asked making Geet freaked out, "Ji, o, as you said, putting Band aid," Geet said and Maan rolled his eyes and let out a huge breathe, "oh, she can't be this foolish," he thought,
"Geet, you are suppose to put some ointment on it, then place a cotton and then tie the band aid" Maan said trying to control his anger, and Geet was staring at him, without a move, "why are you staring at me," Maan yelled,
"sit down," Maan said and Geet sat down, "pick up the ointment," Maan said, as she was not doing it and Geet too took the ointment and looked at him, Maan looked at her sitting holding the ointment and staring at him, "Oh god, now open and apply it, are you some kind of computer that I had to give step by step instructions," Maan said and looked at her with his anger raising up,
Geet then took the ointment and started to apply it and Maan went out leaving her in his room and went to Dadi maa room,
"God, this girl, how crazy she could get," Maan murmured as he entered the room, "what happened Maan," Dadi maa asked worried seeing him,
"That Geet, had cut her hand," Maan said and Dadi maa freaked out and Maan closed his eyes, "god, I should not have said this to her,"
"Dadi maa, it's ok, she is ok, she was careless so made a small cut on her wrist, she is ok now," Maan said calming himself and Dadi maa, and then Geet too came in, and sat near Dadi maa, "Geet, you are ok na?" Dadi maa asked worried,
"yes Dadi maa I am alright and I had Band aid too," she showed to Dadi maa, "Geet, you were worried about me na, so only you had done this to yourself na, thinking about me," Dadi maa said in a sad tone, "No Dadi maa, please don't imagine things, I was careless, that's all,"
"Maan, our servants had gone on leave, I only gave them permission to leave," Dadi maa said and Maan looked at her shocked, "Dadi maa, why, now, you are not well and Dev is not well, and we need someone to look after you guys na?"
"Maan, won't you look after us?" Dadi maa asked holding his hands, and Maan was stud, "sure I will, but," Maan paused, "then what Geet too is there na, when you both are there I no need
anyone," Dadi maa said looking at them and they both looked at each other, and was sitting there for sometimes with Dadi maa and went away,
*****************************************************************************
"Dev," Dadi maa came and sat near him as everyone else slept, "Dadi maa didn't you sleep yet," Dev asked with a smile,
"Dev I am so happy today and I can't sleep, it's all because of you," Dadi maa said a bit emotional, "Dadi maa please, don't get emotional," Dev said holding her hands,
"No Dev, it not just words, I really lost my hope, I thought everything had ended so soon, but today as I saw them together, talking with each other, I am feeling so happy, thank you Dev beta," Dadi maa said with tear filled eyes,
"Dadi maa, if bro's life is happy na, then our will also be, after all that Bro had done to me, I too have a little responsibility on his life na," Dev said, "Dadi maa, it's really late, please go to sleep, I too will go and plan for tomorrow, ok," Dev said as he stood up and Dadi maa too stood up and hugged and said a good night to Dev and went to her room,
It was above 1.00 in the night, when Maan came out of his room, "suddenly all the servants gone and I have to do everything," Maan said as he went to the Kitchen to get some water, but he stopped as he saw the parcel on the table,
"oh, the parcel, god, I forgot to give her this, it's ok, will give it now," Maan thought as he took the parcel and walked to Geet's room, "oh, it's so late, I can't disturb her now, will give her in the morning," Maan thought and went to his room, he kept the parcel on the table and also the glass of water, and went inside the wash room,
As Maan came from the washroom, he tried to get the water, but the glass slipped from his hand and fall on the parcel, and it was soaked fully in water,
"Maan, what have you done," Maan said to himself and removed the parcel cover to prevent the water from soaking everything inside it, as he removed the cover couple of photo's fall from the parcel along with a letter, Maan looked at the photos and took one photo and was looking at it with his eyes widen up,
Part 13
Maan's tension
Maan looked at the photos' one by one he was holding, it was Geet's photo before her Marriage, some in college uniform and some in her home, but one thing was common in those photos', a big bright smile and a happiness which was still alive in those photos'
Maan looked at it so closely an innocence in her smile, a happiness in her eyes was dazzling, Maan kept the photos' on the table and closed his eyes as a feel of guilty hit him, "she was one happy girl and am I responsible for destroying her smile, but what else can I do, I was compelled" Maan thought and he took the letter which was lying on the floor,
Maan hesitated for a minute then opened it, it was from Reema, Maan thought for a second whether to read it or not, then decide to give a glance, then started reading it,
"Dear Geet,
I know you would be angry on me, I am so sorry, for taking your family's side instead of being with you, I am sorry but what to do, I am your friend, I too wanted what is good for you and I was scared, when a incident like this happened before in our village, you know na, what happened, the villagers was so cruel in cursing her, that finally she committed suicide unable of their words,
I don't want that to happen with you too Geet, and I wouldn't have forced you if it was someone else, but I was happy it was Maan ji, the person whom you admired and respected all your life, you like him so much, so only I thought it's best for you to be settled with him, I was dame sure that your life will be happy with him,
Please forgive me, Geet, and call me if you had, I will be waiting, love you Geet, I want my friend with the same smile and happiness as before, I am praying to Baba ji that only, please forget everything and accept your life with Maan ji and have a happy life as you always dreamed, a life filled with love and just love,
Always your best friend, Reema."
Maan folded the letter and he don't know what to think, he took a deep breath and took the letter and photos' and put it back inside the cover,
That night Maan can't sleep well, Dadi maa is sick because of him, Geet's life had turned to an disaster and he don't know what he was going to do to make everything right, and he has his own problems to be taken care of, Meera, Armaan, he thought and then he slept while thinking of everything,
*****************************************************************************
Morning was fresh and shining, Maan was all dressed up, as Adi's phone came, "Good Morning Maan Sir, Mr.Naresh's meeting is at 9.00 today, you had asked me to remind you" Adi said as Maan took the call,
"Ok Adi I will be there," Maan said looking at his watch, "Maan sir, how is Dadi maa and Dev sir," Adi asked and Maan said they are fine, and asked him to arrange everything for the meeting and cut the call,
"Oh, if I say that I am going to office today, then Dadi maa will get upset," Maan thought and walked to Geet's room with the Parcel that came for her,
Maan went inside her room but she was not there, he thought she might be in kitchen and turned and walked towards the door and just then he heard the wash room door opening, so he stopped and turned around,
Geet came out drying her wet hair with a towel and was standing before the mirror, drying her hair, Maan stood there and he was speechless, he was mesmerized by what he was seeing, and Geet was busy with her wet hair,
Maan slowly walked near her and stood behind her, the fresh smell of her shampoo was intoxicating as her slight grin on her face, "Geet," Maan called suddenly freaking her out, and she turned suddenly and dropped her towel on the floor,
Maan looked at her shocked face and the towel, he then bend down to take it and Geet too did the same, but Geet was the one who caught the towel and Maan caught her head instead of the towel,
Geet's heart started to beat fast as he touched her hand and she slowly raised her eyes to looked at him, Maan too was looking at her with his big shiny eyes dazzling Geet, as id searching for something in her eyes, without even her knowledge Geet's face started to turn red,
"Aai Meri Subah Haste Hasate
Boli Aankhen Tere liye Sandesha hai
Haan hai
Jaagi aankhon ko bhi sapna milega
Koi khushi aane ka bhi andesha hai
Haan hai"
Both were starting at each other's eyes, without a blink or a move, Maan was the one who gained his sense first and pulled his hand from her and stood up,
Aan haaan
Gulabi si subah
Aan Haan
Sharabi si hawaa
Geet too stood up, leaving the towel on the floor itself, and Maan was looking at her restlessness, her trembling and her shyness and he saw that she had left the towel on the floor even,
"Bheegi si bhaagi si
MEre bazuo mein samaye
Soti si jaagi si
Koi prem dhun woh sunaye
Bheegi si bhaagi si
MEre bazuo mein samaye
Soti si jaagi si
Koi ram dhun woh sunaye"
Maan then bend down and took the towel and gave it to her and Geet looked at him and got the towel slowly with hesitation and was holding it and Maan was staring at her with his gorgeous glare and Geet was melting into it,
"Raahein waahein bole baatein rumani
Aao Baitho suno baatein kahani hai
Haan hain
Tazzi tazzi lage humko rozana
Teri meri baatein yun to purani hai
Haan hai
Aan haaan
Khayalon se paale
Aan haaan
Yeh zindagi chale"
just then Maan realized that she wasn't wearing dupatta, and her suit was so much fitting her body, revealing herself, Maan felt some uneasy feeling growing inside him, which was new to him, Geet saw the sudden change in his look and looked at herself and found that she was not wearing her dupatta, and she hid herself with her hands and looked for her dupatta and it was lying on the chair behind Maan,
"Bheegi si bhaagi si
MEre bazuo mein samaye
Soti si jaagi si
Koi prem dhun woh sunaye
Bheegi si bhaagi si
MEre bazuo mein samaye
Soti si jaagi si
Koi ram dhun woh sunaye"
She looked at it, and Maan too looked at it following her eyes, Geet looked at him not knowing how to get that because her legs were not moving, Maan as knowing her mind went and took the dupatta and gave it to her and she too got it and wore it on, and they both stood there silent for few seconds,
"God, what's happening, why did I came here and what am I doing now", Maan thought as he took a deep breath to calm himself, "Geet," he finally said and she turned towards him,
"Geet, I am having an important meeting today and I have to go now, and I can't say this to Dadi maa as she will get upset, I will come back soon as the meeting over, until then take care of Dadi maa, ok," Maan said in a bossy way and Geet just nodded a ok and he went out,
"Geet, what's happening to you, whenever he comes in front of you become blank and your mind is not at all working," Geet asked herself, "Oh my god," Geet realized suddenly and rushed behind him,
"Suniye," Geet called from behind and Maan stopped and looked at her, "Breakfast?" Geet asked as he stopped, "I will take care of that," he said without even turning back, "And ah, Geet, yesterday a parcel came for you and I had placed it on the table in your room," Maan said and went out,
"Parcel for me," Geet thought but first she decided she will prepare breakfast for Dev and Dadi maa and so went to the kitchen,
******************************************************************************
Geet finally came to her room, when she finished all the work including the lunch preparation, today she had lots of work as there were no servants in the house to help her, but she was not upset just a bit tired,
She came and laid on the bed and then suddenly she remember Maan words about a parcel, then she stood up and went to the table and saw the parcel and she took and looked at it, it was from Reema, she smiled big and looked into the cover.
Geet's smile turned to tears as she saw the photos' and read the letter Reema wrote, she wiped her tears and went and laid on the bed thinking about what Reema had wrote, then she heard a foot step and went to see who it was and it was Maan,
Maan went to his room, and Geet rushed to kitchen to prepare Black coffee for him, as Nakul said Maan will first have his coffee when he comes back from office, or else he will get maddened, if he was not given his coffee,
Maan he came out of his wash room, Maan saw the black coffee cup on the table and grinned and took it and drank it, and a smile appeared on his face,
Geet who was standing behind the door too smiled seeing it, just then Maan realized that Nakul was not in the house, Dadi maa nor Dev won't be able to prepare it, "Geet," he thought as he turned around to see her standing at the door,
"Geet, come in," Maan called with his tough tone and she too walked in and stood before him, "Geet, did you make this Coffee," he asked and she too nodded a yes, "sorry, it's was the first time, so,"
"Geet, it's perfect," Maan said and Geet smiled a bright smile, "How did you know, how to make it," Maan asked puzzled, as the coffee was perfect as he preferred, "I had read in a Magazine," Geet said, putting Maan to grin,
"Magazine, you are saying that they write about this all," Maan asked with a grin and this small grin have Geet mountains of Happiness, "of course, what color you like, what food you like, what kind of music you like, what all you don't like, everything, everything will come on magazine, and it was my hobby to collect materials about you from Magazines and papers and I had recorded all you TV interviews too, and," Geet was speaking nonstop, and Maan was looking at her puzzled and surprised,
Geet haven't spoken more than a few words before him, before this and now, he was surprised and was staring at her, Geet stopped her word flow as she saw Maan's stare and then she realized she had spoken too much,
Geet then took the empty coffee cup and went from there, saying a sorry, and Maan was looking at her, as she turned around the doorway, she looked at Maan, who was still staring at her, "ji, can I ask you something," Geet asked and Maan nodded an yes and Geet slowly walked in, and stood before him, not knowing how to ask and what will he think if she asked it.
(Song from the Movie "Raajneeti" "Bheegi si bhaagi si")
Part 14
Geet's confusion
Geet was thinking how to ask and Maan was waiting for her to speak, "are you going to speak something or not," Maan asked making Geet to step back due to his sharp voice,
"Ji, o, can I, make a call?" Geet asked and Maan looked at her puzzled, "Geet, you don't need to ask permission for this all, if you wanna make a call, then do it," Maan said as calmly as he could, "I already told you, that you have all the freedom in this house," Maan said shaking his head
"o, actually, Land line is dead," Geet said slowly, "What?" Maan rushed out of his room and took the land phone receiver and kept in his ear, and his eyes widen up, "she is right, the land phone is dead," Maan thought and turned towards Geet,
"I will make it ok, tomorrow," Maan said and Geet nodded, and walked away without a words, "Geet," Maan's voice made her to stop and turn around, Maan signed her to come near and she too walked towards him,
"Geet, here, use my phone," Maan said as he gave her his mobile phone, "no, it's not urgent," Geet refused, "Geet," Maan yelled and Geet immediately got the phone, "make the calls you needed and then you can give it back to me," Maan said and walked away,
Then Geet too went to her room, and dialed Reema's number, "Hello," Reema's voice gave her tears, "Ree," Geet called slowly, "Geet," Reema yelled from the other end,
****************************************************************************
"Geet, how are you, how is Maan ji, how is Dadi maa, is everything ok there, are you alright, you have forgiven me na, still angry with me, say something Geet," Reema said without a break,
"I can say something, only if you shut your mouth up, Ree," Geet said and a small laughter came from the other end, "I miss you Geet," Reema said and Geet too said the same, "you don't know how much I miss you Ree,"
"Geet, now tell me, how are you?" Reema asked with so much of excitement, "ok," Geet said dully, "Ok, what do you mean by Ok, Geet how is your life at your in-laws house," Reema asked suddenly worried,
"I am fine here Reema, I have not much to do, as here so many servants are there and everything I need I get inside the house even, I don't have to go out and Dadi maa loves me so much, I am good here," Geet said calmly,
"Geet, what about Maan ji and your relationship with him," Reema asked doubtfully, "Relationship with him, what kind of relationship," Geet thought and the first thing that came to her mind is her signing the divorce papers,
"Geet, say something, answer me," Reema pressed up, "Is he still angry on you," Reema guessed, "Yes, and he has all the right to be," Geet said thinking about Maan, "Geet, then convince him, make him understand, how long is he going to be like this," Reema asked restlessly,
"Convince him, why? Why should I?" Geet asked putting Reema to shock, "Geet, you both have to start your life now, you both are destined to be together, you can't do anything now," Reema stressed, "He had already done something," Geet thought tears raising from her eyes,
"Destined, we were forced Ree, forced to be together" Geet said hiding her sadness in her tone, "Forced, forced, what do you call as forced Geet, no one forced you to write Maan ji name in your hand at Mehandi ceremony, no one force your mother to give that Raksha of groom's to Maan ji, that just happened, it's Baba Ji's wish that you should be together,"
Geet had no answer for it, she turned silent, "Geet whatever happened had happened, now Maan ji is your life, and even if he is angry you have to convince him, lifelong you can't live like this na, and then main reason why I completed you for the marriage is that, the groom was Maan ji, I know how much you respect him, how much crazy you are when it comes to him, you follow his every word and believe his every words like a promise,"
"It's not hard to turn those respect and craziness in to love, Geet, please, think about it, forget everything, just think about you and Maan ji and your future," Reema said, and Geet was listening to it with tears in her eyes, "Ok, Ree, I will call you back," Geet said as she can't handle Reema's words anymore, and Reema too didn't press her on, "Ok Geet, but think of what I said, please," Reema said as she cut the call,
******************************************************************************
Geet kept the cell on the table, everything happened with Maan from the begin came to her mind, her childhood, when Maan saved her, and when he came to her house for her marriage and Geet falling into his arms again and again, the Mehandi everything,
Then she remembered what happened here in Khurana Mansion, "if we are destined, if we are meant to be together, then why did we sign in the Divorce papers as soon as we entered in the life together? Why? Baba ji, why are you doing this to me,"
"I wasn't even able to say this to Reema about the divorce and how will I say this to my parents, what will happened after one year," it scared her, "what is my life going to be Baba ji, how it will be," Geet prayed as she was walking and slipped and hit on a wooden shelve, making it to jerk and some photos fall on her head which was kept on the top of the it due to the jerk,
Geet looked at the photos, it was full of Maan's photo, from childhood, till his college days, in all photo's Maan was same, his age changed and his dressing changed but not his face, no smile and the same deep dark anger filled eyes,
Geet collected everything and smiled seeing those, the maximum photos was Maan getting some trophy's, medal's, shield's, stage talks, Geet then kept those photos on the table and went to the wash room and refreshed herself,
As she came out she thought she would give these photo's to Maan along with the phone, so she took Maan's mobile and the photos' and walked towards his room, "Geet", Dadi maa's voice made her to stop before a room,
"Dadi maa," Geet said as she went in, "What happened dear," Dadi maa asked, and Geet said she is going to give the mobile back to Maan and Said what happened, "Geet, really? Maan gave you his mobile, god, he never gives his mobile to any one till now," Dadi maa said surprised,
"Geet, I am so happy that Maan is speaking with you," Dadi maa said with a smile, Geet to smiled weakly don't know how to react, Maan is speaking with her just for Dadi maa's sake, "Geet, what's in your hand," Dadi maa asked and Geet gave her the photos,
"Dadi maa, It was in my room, so thought of giving it to him," Geet said and Dadi maa was looking at it, and her smiled disappeared and her eyes filled up, "Dadi maa, what happened," Geet asked seeing her mood change,
"These photos of his victories and success is waste," Dadi maa said making Geet shocked, "Dadi maa, but, he had won and succeed and you are saying it as a waste," Geet asked unable to suppress her surprise,
"Yes Geet, look, he had succeeded, won, but does he look happy, is he smiling, when he reaches his target and won, instead of enjoy it, he immediately sets another goal, from the young age, Maanavi, when she was alive she made him realize and enjoy his victory and after that, it was all go, Maan's smile was disappeared along with his mom and dad," Dadi maa said tears running down her cheeks,
"Maan then made his own rules, all he thought was about his brother, sister, me and the family business, he succeeded his goals in business, he earned all the titles he needed, he doesn't know anything than business, no happiness, no masti, nothing, he hated everything that made him emotional and weak, especially girls and marriage," Dadi maa said wiping her tears,
" I wanted Maan to marry to give him a life partner who could make him realize that there something, some happiness, some beauty in this world that his business and his medals and shields can't give him, only an girl, an wife would give him, create and give him a new relationship, his blood line, his children, keeping that in mind only I married him to you,"
"I thought you could do it, your fun filled talks, your bright smile and naughtiness, thought you could change him, but I was wrong, this marriage didn't change him, but it changed you, it took away your smile too, I am sorry for that Geet, but one thing, I still believe you could change him," Dadi maa said making Geet shock,
"I know, Geet, I know about the divorce but, I don't want that to happen, if it happens then Maan will never have a bright life, he will be like this only for the rest of his life and I can't bear it Geet, please, I know it's too much to ask and I am not compelling you, but you could try Geet, Maan is not a bad person, he is not a hard hearted guy either, he has all the feeling and emotion except that it all hidden inside his heart, once he recognize those feeling than he will change, for sure, will you try it dear, for me, for you," Dadi maa asked and Geet turned silent and went outside the room,
Dev who was coming to the room, saw Geet and stopped, "Geet, are you ok," he asked looking at her and she smiled and went too Maan's room, and Dev to Dadi maa's room
***************************************************************************
Maan was busy with his files when Geet entered, "Suniye," she called slowly and Maan turned to her, and Geet gave the phone and Maan got it and kept on the table,
"Thank you," Geet said and Maan just nodded and was looking at the files, and Geet too moved from there, "Geet, the land line will be ready in two days and if you want to call anyone until then you can use my mobile," Maan said and Geet too nodded her head, and went out,
Geet was so confused, she can't think anything clearly, everything was confusing about Maan, about her marriage, about her future, and she was restless, finally she decided and went to Dadi maa's room where she and Dev was talking,
"Dadi maa," she called, "Geet, come in dear," Dadi maa said and Geet went in, "Dadi maa, is there any Dargah, nearby," Geet asked slowly and Dadi maa smiled and said yes, "Can I go there Dadi maa," Geet asked,
"Of course dear, of course ask our driver Rishi to take you he knows the ways, ok" Dadi maa said and Geet smiled big, "Dadi maa, thank you, thank you so much, I will come back soon," Geet said with a relief and smile,
"What's the hurry dear, go there, pray well, and spend some time there, after all you haven't gone out anywhere after you came here na, so go on, take your time," Dadi maa said as she held Geet's face and Kissed her forehead,
Geet too said ok and went down, "should I inform Maan ji," she thought and decided to gave a word and went to his room, but he was not there, and Geet searched for him, but he was not in the house,
"May be he had gone out, she thought and went to her room and got ready and went out to the driver and took off too Dargah,
