PART 5. EPILOGUE - 7 YEARS LATER
25 year old Geet Maan Khurana concluded her narration as she leaned over the bassinet which was placed in the middle of the room, "Aur is tarah mujhe pata chala ki tumhaare Papa itne bure bhi nahi hai! Aur aaj ki kahaani khatam! Baaki ki kahaani kal sunaaungi!" She smiled at her six month old daughter lying in the bassinet. The child giggled at Geet and grabbed one of the locks of her hair hanging by her. Geet shook her head in mock anger and pulled her hair gently out of the baby's hand. She narrowed her eyes playfully at her daughter, "Tum dikhne mein bhale hi meri jaisi ho par tumhaari harqatein bilkul tumhaare papa jaisi hai!" She placed her hands on the bassinet and pushed it slightly making it rock and her daughter giggle.
"Shuru tumhaari complain! Har waqt meri beti ke paas aati ho aur meri complain karti ho! Yeh theek nahi hai Geet!" Geet looked up to see her husband of 2 years enter the room dressed to nines in three piece suit. Haayo Rabba! Battees ke ho chuke hain! Phir bhi utne hi handsome lagte hain jitna saat saal pehle lagte the jab maine inhein pehli baar dekha tha! Geet shyly smiled at her husband and looked back at her daughter. Geet was also dressed up in a designer saree with khaandani Khurana Jewelry and looking as beautiful as she looked when she entered the Khurana Mansion as the elder bahu exactly two years ago. Maan came close to Geet and stood silently behind her. Geet turned around and crashed right into him. Maan shook his head, "Mujhse takraane ki aadat abhi bhi nahi gayi tumhaari Geet?" Geet looked at him in anger but did not say anything as she knew that even after her sister's marriage she continued to crash into him without any reason. It was as if Babaji wanted them to be together.
Maan continued speaking, "Tum neeche party chodke kyun aagayi? Sab tumhaare baare mein pooch rahe the!" Today was their 2nd Marriage Anniversary and NT and Dev had thrown a party for them. Geet smiled at him, "Bas aisa laga jaise Mannat mujhe bula rahi hai!" Both turned and looked at their daughter Mannat, who looked at them and giggled. Maan rolled his eyes, "Tum khaamakhaa phikar karti ho Geet! Mannat meri beti hai, Maan Singh Khurana ki beti hai..." Geet pressed her hand on Maan's mouth cutting him off, "Haan! Haan! Sab pata hai! Aap kaun hai aur kya cheez hain, saalon se pata hai!" She pulled away from Maan and walked over to the only window in the room. Maan smiled at his daughter and handed her his finger. Mannat grabbed it eagerly and started playing with it while Maan looked on amusedly.
"Yakeen nahi hota na Maan", Geet's words pulled Maan's attention from his daughter to his wife and he frowned, unsure as to what she was talking about. Geet continued to speak as she leaned on the window frame with her arms folded against her chest while looking out, "Kya aapne kabhi socha tha Maan? Jab hum pehli baar mile the kya aapne kabhi socha tha ki aap aur main ek honge? Us waqt toh humaari ladaai toh aisi thi ki sabko laga hum jaani dushman ban gaye hain!" She giggled a bit and continued to look out. After a while when her husband did not reply, she turned to look at him. Maan seemed to be lost in his thoughts and Geet frowned, "Kya soch rahe hain aap Maan?" Maan continued to think for a while and then he nodded to himself as if he had just made a decision. Geet continued to stare at him in confusion.
After a while, Maan walked towards the window with a knowing smile on his face. Geet's expression showed puzzlement as she watched Maan come and stand beside her. Maan looked out of the window, "Ek baat hai Geet jo maine tumse chupa rakhi thi! Ab lagta hai yeh sahi time hai tumhein bataane ke liye!" Geet continued to stare at him and Maan smirked, "Tumhein pata nahi hoga Geet! Par mujhe pata tha ki tum ek din meri banogi!" "Kya? Woh kaise?", Geet was beyond confused now and her expression showed that. Maan turned towards her and folded his arms against his chest. He gave her a knowing look, "Tumhein kya lagta hai? Tum baar baar mujhse aise hi takraati thi?" Geet's jaw dropped open as her eyes widened. She was unable to comprehend the implications of what Maan meant for a second before it all came crashing over her. Maan's smirk turned into full blown smug grin and he winked at her and walked away.
It took a while for Geet to come out of the stupor and she ran after Maan. Just as Maan was about to step out of the room, Geet grabbed his arm and turned him around. The smirk on his face which she used to love a while ago was irritating her currently as the meaning behind his words became clearer to her. Oh! How she wished she could punch the smirk off his face! "Maan!", Geet whispered unable to say anything else. Maan spoke up, "Everything was planned Mrs. Khurana! Everything! Pehli baar tumhein Dev aur NT ke sangeet mein dekha tha aur usi din mujhe tumse pyaar hogaya! Lekin jab maine tumse baat karne ki koshish ki toh tum nervousness ki wajah se mujhe avoid karti rahi! Kya karun kuch samajh nahi aaya! Aur upar se Daadima ko shaq hone lag gaya! Main nahi chaahta tha ki kisi ko pata chale ki Maan Singh Khurana ek ladki ke liye deewana hogaya!" Geet looked at him in shock. Did that mean the protests Maan had done till their marriage was just a drama to maintain his image?
Maan continued to speak as he turned away and looked at Mannat. Due to this, he did not notice his wife's increasing anger. "Phir maine NT se baat ki jisne mujhe bataaya ki tumhein agar ghussa dilaaya jaaye toh tum kisise bhi nahi darti! Toh bas main tumse takraata gaya aur tumse ladta gaya!" He turned to look at Geet and Geet looked away not wanting to show his anger to him right away. She wanted to know the full story before taking any decision. Maan opened his mouth and angered Geet more with his words, "Tumhein kya lagta hai? Tum Hoshiarpur se Dilli, Dilli se Khurana Constructions aur KC se mere kamre tak as my wife aise hi aayi ho? It was all planned!" He grabbed her from behind and pulled her close to him. He hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek, "I love you Geet! Us din se aaj tak I Love You! Aur yeh sab khel maine khela tumhein apna banaane ke liye!" He pulled away and walked off to join the party downstairs leaving behind a flabbergasted Geet.
THE END
Wait!
Do you seriously think this story ends here?
This SS might end here but there are still many loose threads in the story.
For example, what did Maan mean when he said, "Tumhein kya lagta hai? Tum Hoshiarpur se Dilli, Dilli se Khurana Constructions aur KC se mere kamre tak as my wife aise hi aayi ho? It was all planned!"
And don't you want to know why Geet is so angry at Maan's words? To know more read the next lines carefully and do reply my question below!
As you guys all know, my stories are never complete without atleast one shock and one twist. I have already shocked you guys by ending the story in such an abrupt manner! And now here is my twist!
Dhoom Dhadakka is a part of a four part series called Miss. Jhagdaalu versus Khadus Khurana with each part showing a different part of Maan and Geet's life!
First part was Dhoom Dhadakka which set the stage for the story! It also set the theme for the series which is romantic comedy with a dash of drama!
Next up in this series is Jab Se Tere Naina where we will see what Maan meant when he said to Geet,
"Tumhein kya lagta hai? Tum Hoshiarpur se Dilli, Dilli se Khurana Constructions aur KC se mere kamre tak as my wife aise hi aayi ho? It was all planned!"
Are you interested in reading how Maan wrote his own love story and got married to Geet?
Because if you are, do tell me!
As I will write it only if I have atleast five readers for Jab Se Tere Naina!
So do reply my question through your review!
Thanks, take care and have fun,
Kalpana
P.S. All the reviews of earlier parts will be replied after tomorrow as I want to read your response to my question first!
