Geet won the best writer of the year award.
She was surrounded by the media for an interview.
"What was your feeling when you won the award?"
Throwing so much of attitude she said:Well...I know I am the best.So I expected this.
Suddenly one journalist asked:Are you a feminist?
G:No..not really.
"But your protogonist is a feminist".
G:So what?Just because my protogonist is a feminit I can't be labelled as a feminist.
"Then why did'nt you get married?"
G:It's just because marriage puts a lot of restrictions on a woman's career.The people who proposed me wanted me to confine to the 4 walls of the house.I can't sacrifice my happiness for others.
"But there is a rumour that you are a lesbian.That's why you are not getting married.And your partner is the famous dancer Apeksha who lives with you".
Geet blasted at them:Stop it.Just because I and Apeksha live together you guys are calling us lesbians.Shame on you.We are two different individuals who did'nt want marriage.But we wanted a normal life.
"Is that the reason why you both are bringing up a boy?"
G:No more questions and get lost.
Apeksha came running towards her and pulled her back.
Ap:Geet!Calm down.
G:See...how dare they say bad things about us!
Apeksha pulled her out and pushed her inside the car.Apeksha drove her home.
After reaching home Geet started throwing things.
Ap:Geet...are you mad?
G:Yes,I am mad.
Ap:Geet,we know what kind of relationship we share.So you should not care about it.And you know what?Years back people were asking whether Aarav was my illegal son.
G:Media is horrible.
Ap:They are just doing their job.Without spice media is nothing.
G:But still...how could they?
Geet was out of mood.
Somebody touched her shoulder.
Geet raised her eye brows and looked at him.
G:Aarav!
A:Mumma...
Geet hugged Aarav.
A:You had a fight with the media.Right?It has become a flash news.
Ap:Disgusting.No privacy at all.
A:What is this mumma?I told you many times to control your temper.
G:I can't control my temper.That' why I did'nt get married.Otherwise my husband would have yelled at me.
Aarav and Apeksha laughed.
Apeksha smiled:You are right Geet.No men can tolerate a short tempered wife.You took a good decision not to marry.
Geet felt like laughing.
A:Mumma,did I ever ask you anything about my birth?Some say that I am an adoped son of both my mothers.Some say that I am the illegal son of one of you.But I did'nt care.
Aarav held Geet and Apeksha close to him:As long as you both are with me I don't care about what others say about my birth.So just ignore public's tongue like me.Love you mumma...
He kissed Geet's cheek.
A:Love you mom.
He kissed Apeksha's cheek.
They all became emotional.
Aarav is their 20 years old son.
G:Aarav,you don't care about your birth secret.But you have the right to know that and we will diclose it on your coming birthday.
Apeksha and Aarav became dull.
Aarav sat near his best friend Pinky.
P:What happened Aarav?Why are you looking so upset?
A:Pinky,tomorow is my 21st birthday.
P:That's good.You will invite me home?
A:Actually it's a private party.Only me and my mothers.Because they want to reveal my birth's secret tomorrow.
P:Oh!That's good.You can give an answer to all your enemies who prick your heart by asking about your father.
A:But I don't want to know that secret.
P:What?Why?You will be the only one who is not interested to know about the father.
A:Yes.Because if I come to know of my dad I will come to know who my mother is.Both Geet mumma and Apeksha mom are special to me.With this disclosure only one becomes my mother,then the other one will be left out.I don't want that to happen.
Pinky pats on his shoulder:Don't be upset Aarav.
A:Pinky,when you are with me I get relief.
Pinky blushed which went unnoticed by Aarav.
Days passed by...
Today is Aarav's 21st birthday.
Geet decorated Aarav' room with cute things.
Apeksha and Geet cooked Aarav's favourite dishes.
A:Geet...how years have passed so fast.I still remember the moment Aarav was born.When I took him in my arms...I became so emotional that I cried.
G:On his first birthday I bought so many toys for him.He was so happy.
Ap:He was so cute.When he wore shervani for the first time he looked like a Prince.
Ap:I wish he was small itself.Because the moment I am scared of is reaching.
G:Apeksha!
Ap:Geet..Have you ever thought how he would react when he comes to know his birth secret?
Geet became dull.
Aarav cut cake and fed both Geet and Apeksha.
Geet narrated her latest book's story as Aarav was lazy to read it,but he loves to listen to Geet's narration.Apeksha danced as he loves her dance.
Aarav got excited seeing his favourite dishes on the table:Yummy!
Geet and Apeksha fed him.
Then they went to the drawing room.
Geet:Aarav,finally your 21st birthday.We promised that we will reveal that big secret to you.
Aarav's face became dull.
Apeksha:Aarav...you want to know who your father is?Right?
G:Your father is...
