Geet reached back.Maan ran to her with excitement.
M:Geet...lovely gift.I loved it.I felt that the dancing couple were me and you.
G:No Maan.That dancing couple can never be us.
M:Why?
G:It's like that.Human beings can never be dolls.
Maan smiled.He held her hand.
G:Maan,leave me.I need to go.
M:Geet!
She ran away from him.
M:What happened to this Geet?
Geet was really upset.She cried a lot.
Apeksha came in.
Ap:Geet!
Geet wiped her tears.
Ap:What happened?
G:Nothing.
Ap:I am your best friend.Don't try to hide anything from me.Tell me.
Geet burst into tears.
Ap:Tell me Geet.Where did you go?
G:I went to the hospital.
Ap:Why?
G:I have brain tumour.
Apeksha was numb for a moment.
Flash back...
After the engagement Geet had severe head ache for some time.She could not bear it.
She went for check up.Today she went to collect the report.Shockingly it was due to brain tumour that she had head ache.
Present...
Apeksha burst into tears and hugged Geet.
G:Don't cry Apeksha.
Ap:Nothing will happen to you Geet.
G:Apeksha,I have decided not to marry Maan.
She was shocked:What?
G:I don't want him to suffer because of me.I may die.He won't be able to bear it.So after Holi I will call off our wedding and leave this house.
Ap:Geet!
G:Don't tell Maan about my disease.He won't be able to overcome that pain.He will never allow me to call off the wedding.Let him hate me when I call off the wedding all of a sudden without any reason.
Apeksha's tears rolled down her cheeks.
G:Dadimaa must be waiting for me to help her in the holi preparations.Let me go.
Geet wiped her tears and wore earrings.She went to Savitri as if nothing had happened.
Maan went to her when Savitri left the room.
M:Geet!
Geet did not respond.
M:Why are you so indifferent Geet?Tell me.
G:Maan,can't you see that i am doing something?I have to do a lot of arrangements for the Holi function.
M:Geet..
G:Don't disturb me.
She turned back.He held her hand.
G:Maan...leave my hand.
M:You can't ignore me like this Geet.Tell me what is bothering you.
G:Maan...I told you not to disturb me.
M:So I am a disturbance for you?
G:Yes.
Maan became upset:What did you say?I am a disturbance for you?
Geet shouted:Yes yes yes...
She removed her earrings angrily and threw it hard on the floor.
Due to anger he pulled her hair band.Her became lose and started dancing in the air carelessly.
He felt nice seeing her like that.Slowly he cupped her face in his hands.
M:Geet...if anything is disturbing you,please tell me.I will help you to solve your problem.
Her eyes got filled up with tears.
He never expected it.
M:Geet...
G:Leave me Maan.
She pushed him and ran away.
Maan was restless.
M:Something is making Geet upset.I have to find it out.
Holi...
Geet put a beautiful Rangoli.
Savitri was impressed.
S:It's so beautiful Geet.
G:Thank you Dadimaa.
Maan went towards Geet to colour her face.Geet smiled.
Suddenly she came back to senses.
She moved backward.
G:No Maan.I don't like it.
M:Why?
G:I hate it.That's it.
Geet walked away.Maan felt upset.
M:Why is Geet behaving like this?
Apeksha noticed it with pain.
Maan put colour on Aarav's face.
M:Happy holi beta.
A:Happy holi dad.
He put colour back.
Vicky came near him:Hi Aarav.Happy holi.
He put colour on Aarav's face.
A:Happy holi chachu.
V:Aarav beta,you call Apeksha mom.So I am your Daddy.Right?Why don't you call me Daddy?
Aarav was confused and happy.
M:Aarav beta.Vicky is right.Geet and Apeksha are your mothers.So relation wise we both are your fathers.Right?
Aarav smiled:Yes Daddy.
Vicky was very happy.
V:Won't you colour your daddy's face?
A:Of course.
Aarav put colour on Vicky.Vicky was very happy.
Apeksha and Geet smiled seeing it.
Ap:Aarav is happy.He is getting mother's and father's love from 4 people.His family is complete.
G:But his family is going to be incomplete soon with my departure.
Apeksha became upset:Geet!
Geet walked away.
Aarav put colour on Apeksha and Savitri.He went near Geet.
A:Happy Holi mumma.
She smiled:Happy holi beta.
He put colour on her face.She put it back.
Vicky pulled her to the area where everyone was dancing.Geet danced with Vicky.
Geet felt dizzy.
G:Vicky beta.I am tired.
V:Why did you get tired so fast?Apeksha mom also refused to dance saying that she is not feeling well.What happened to my mothers?Anyways take care mumma.
G:Ok.
Aarav went to Maan.
Geet thought:Apeksha does'nt even feel like dancing these days as she is worried for me.
Geet became upset.
Vicky looked at Apeksha with smile.She was worried for Geet.He went near her and threw colour powder at her face.It was unexpected for her.
Ap:What is this Vicky?
He laughed.
V:Do you remember Apeksha?We used to celebrate Holi with lots of colours during our younger days.That time we used to throw colour powder at each other.
Ap:So you were reviving those days by throwing the colour powder at my face?
V:Ya...those days were so beautiful.Especially the first Holi during which confessed our love for each other..It was so romantic.
They both remembered it with a smile.
While he was lost in the beautiful memory Apeksha took colour powder without his knowledge and threw it at his face.
V:Hey Apeksha...
She laughed running.He ran after her.He held her from behind.They laughed.Suddenly Apeksha saw Geet.
She became upset.
She thought:When I got my love back,even though the love is near Geet is forced to move away from her love.What a fate!
Ap:Vicky...let me go to Geet.She is alone.
V:Maan bhai...?
Ap:Maan is busy with Aarav.Let them enjoy.
Apeksha went away.Vicky's face became dull.
He thought:Apeksha is so happy.How will she react when she comes to know that though Ovi was not there in my life,in her absense there was another lady in my life?How will she react when she comes to know that I have a child too?
His heart pained.
Maan thought looking at Geet:Geet...you said you don't like being coloured.So you did'nt let me colour you.But when others put colour on you,you happily accepted it.Why did you do this to me Geet?Why are you avoiding me and choosing loneliness?Ican't understand anything.Anyways something is bothering you.I will find it out however you hide it from me.
Apeksha went near Geet.
Ap:Geet...Maan is very upset with the way you ignore him.
G:What to do Apeksha?I have to be away from his life.It is for Maan's good only.
Apeksha burst into tears:How are you able to bear this pain?You love Maan,still you are forced to be away from him.
Geet burst into tears.They both hugged each other tearfully.
Savitri was watching this.It left her in confusion.
A young guy went near Geet.
He:Hi Ma'am...I am Prashant.I am your fan.
G:Glad to meet my fan.
P:Can I call you aunty?Because you remind me of your aunty.That's how I started reading your books.
She smiled:Yes.You can.
He became very happy:Thank you Geet aunty.
He put colour powder on her face.
P:Happy Holi.
She smiled:Happy Holi.
Suddenly the angry Maan pulled him backward.
M:How dare you touch my fiancee?
Geet was shocked by his behaviour.
G:Maan...what are you doing?
M:How dare he touch you?
G:He did'nt do it with a bad intention.He just wished me happy Holi.And he is a young boy like Aarav.How could you think that he tried to misbehave with me?
M:I can't tolerate anyone coming closer to you.More than 20 years I had to be away from you.Now I can't.20 years back I used to watch you being covered by your fans helplessly.But now I can't.You are only mine.
Geet became upset.
She looked at Prashanth:Sorry Prashanth.
P:It's ok aunty.I understand.Sorry for the disturbance.
He left.
G:You should not have behaved like this Maan.You were too cheap today.
Maan was hurt:Geet!
Geet walked away.
The next morning...
Geet thought:Today I have to reveal everyone that my plan is to not go ahead with the wedding.
Suddenly Savitri came in.
S:Geet!
G:Dadimaa...
S:Geet,seeing you I feel you want to tell some thing.
G:Ya.But not here.In front of Maan and others.
S:Ok.But first you tell me.
G:Dadimaa...
S:Geet,what are you hiding from us?Before your plan gets executed let me know yor plan in prior.
G:Dadimaa,what are you saying?I don't understand anything.
S:I heard your conversation with Apeksha.Why are you trying to be away from Maan?
Geet was shocked.
S:Tell Geet.Tell...You gave him hopes and dreams.Then at the last moment why are trying to ditch him?Tell Geet.I need an answer.
Geet burst into tears.
G:Because I love Maan.
