New FF : Silken Shadow#1 (New thread Link @ Pg 141) - Page 44

Hellooo donaaa 😃

(In this FF I'm trying to put some Urdu Words and customs related to Muslims Religion. As I don't belong to this religion it's quite possible for me to make few mistakes. So please consider them my learning effort and help me to correct them, if you find some false 😊)

Geet found Khan Saab and runs to him. She clutched his arm frightening.

"Geet, what happened Beti?" He was surprised to see her all sweated when someone called him from back. Khan Saab started talking with him. The person stared Geet and she hid behind Khan Saab. Man laughed.

"Don't be scared Geet, he is master of this house. Nawab Wajid Ali Khan. Say hello to him" He said smiling. Geet looked him then to stranger. She then jointed her hands and greeted, "Namaste" then again looked down.

"Jeetay Raho Beti" Ali Khan smiled.

"Chacha I want to go back home" Geet said.

"Why so soon? Why don't you stay for some more time? After dinner you can leave" Ali Khan said but Geet looked to Khan Saab. He understood she was feeling not so comfortable. He nodded. "Any other day Ali Saab. Right now her mother would be waiting for her"

Ali Khan didn't force them and they left.

Maan who was yet thinking about her heard horse snorting and he rushed to the window and found Geet was sitting on backseat of buggy. Don't know the reason but he hastened toward terrace and looked down from railing. There she was maintaining her veil when she looked up aimlessly and found there Maan! She instantly slipped veil lower. Horse had started moving. When buggy crossed the main gate she peeped through one eye and her eye met with Maan. She instantly covered her face and buggy disappeared behind wall.

Maan smiled. He shook head in disbelief that acted like a teenage boy. He turned to walk back when tripped over a brick. He picked it in hand. He recalled Geet was hurt by this. Maan threw the brick in air to far distance and it hit a man head! He hissed. "Who is this Badtamiz?" Mohsin looked around holding his bumpy forehead.

"Shit!" Maan bit his tongue. He sit down in shelter of railing and laughed. After bashing to the unknown hitter Mohsin left groaning. Maan looked up to sky, "I didn't know you were so eager to punish your fellow" He laughed and left.

When Rano heard buggy sound she rushed to open the door. "Geet you came?"

"I have brought your daughter all fit and fine" Khan Saab said, while commanding the driver to turn it back toward his home. "Now I'm leaving. shabba khair Bahan" Rano and Geet wished him back and they walked inside home. Till the time Geet had forgotten all bad memories and her face was shining due to happiness and when Rano asked if she was okay, Geet twirled around holding her hands. "I'm so happy Maa. You know how big house was? And there all appreciated my songs and my voice. They said I'm so beautiful. Someone said that I am like a piece of moon and some said that.. "Geet stopped suddenly when found no gladness over her mother face. Geet cupped her face, "What happened Maa?"

Rano remained silent. How could she say that she didn't like the way all people would've praised her beauty. She didn't like her going out for singing and she didn't like this happiness over Geet face. She knew this all will not last longer. This all were water bubble which had to burst off. She didn't want to see wait for another chance in her daughter's eyes. She didn't want for Geet a false hope that another day again she will have this happiness in her Daman, because Rano knew, it will never happen again. The day will never come back again in their life and if with any chance it comes, their life could've been ended. "Nothing happened me. Change your dress Geet and go to sleep" She commanded.

Geet nodded. Half heartily she went in her room and tried to sleep. She closed eyes and suddenly Maan face flashed and he was advancing toward her. She sat up in hurry. She looked around. There was nothing visible due to darkness. She stood up and walked to the table and increased lantern light. Through window, sound of songs and instruments were coming as usual that again attracted her leg to tap on the beat. But she stopped. She knew what Rano had tried to hide from her. What was the reason of her silence? She came back on bed and laid down. The sound of claps and appreciation were still echoing in her ears. She touched the golden chain in her neck which she had gotten in reward. It was her first gift. She smiled. Holding it in hand Geet again tried to sleep. After some time she slept thinking about the day event.

Ali Khan was sitting on dining table along with his daughter Nishad and Maan. His wife was serving breakfast in plates when he asked, "Where is my son?" And at the same moment Mihsin appeared holding his forehead. He pushed chair back and took his seat.

"What happened to your head Barkhurdaar?" Ali Khan asked. Then Maan and Nishad's noticed to him. "What happened Bhai Jaan?"Nishad was curious when Maan asked same question stopping his smile.

"Don't know Abbu. Someone hit me last night. I couldn't see his face" he messaged over the bump. His mother called servant to bring ice pack and rubbed over his wound. Mohsin groaned frolicking. "Stop jumping up like frog Mohsin. Wound is not so deep" she said. Poor Mohsin pouted and looking at his state everyone started laughing. Specially Maan who had been stopping it from much effort.

"So Maan, when your father is coming back from London?" Ali Khan asked while adjusting napkin over his thigh.

"Next month. He wanted me to settle his new business in India. So I had to come before him" Maan put spoon in mouth. Ali Khan nodded. "Yeh, he had told me. I have found a good place for this purpose. I'm sure he is going to like the place" Then he turned toward Mohsin and said him to take Maan to the place.

"Ji Abbu"

Suddenly Ali Khan stood up wiping his mouth with napkin "I'm sorry young men, I am leaving breakfast in middle but I have to go for an urgent meeting". Saying he left.

"So Maan Yar, when do you want this guide to bend in your service?" Mohsin asked checking for food.. Suddenly Nishad shouted up, "Today!" Both looked her confused. She cleared her throat, "I mean, why you both don't visit today. See, its lovely weather outside"

"Come on matter dear Sis" Mohsin served rice in plate.

"Um, actually today was last date to return book in library" she etched her head making faces.

"No way! I'm not going to that boring library, listen you" Mohsin stopped chewing food and his mouth puffed.

Nishad looked Maan for help. He nodded smiling, "But I want to visit today only, so my guide, be ready with car at sharp 3 O'clock evening" He said and stood up. Nishad giggled. Mohsin glared Maan making faces. "Maan you don't know that place is so boring. Every time boy girls could be seen reading and reading, no fun!" He tried to convince Maan but he had left. Mohsin glared Nishad.

"I'm sorry Bhai Jaan!" She shouted and runs away from there laughing.

Someone knocked the door. Geet came running knowing it was Noor. She opened door and let her come inside.

"Adaab Chachi Jaan" Noor wished to Rano.

"Jeety raho Beti. Come sit, have some tea"

"No Chachi Jaan, I am in hurry. Actually today it's last date to fill examination form. That is why I've come to take Geet with me"

"Geet?" Rano was shocked. "But Noor you know she doesn't go anywhere without me. I'm sorry she can't go"

"I know Chachi but actually I came to know about the date last night. Geet isn't regular student and I couldn't attend collage since a week. I was sick. That is why couldn't know that last date was today. And its only few hours are left"

Rano was in dilemma. After another thought she said she will also come with them. Noor said that she doesn't need to come as Abbu (Khan Saab) has arranged a vehicle for them. "And Chachi why do you worry for Geet, I'll be with her. And its only for few hours, driver will take us and drop home safely" Well if this would be for another purpose Rano wouldn't have allowed but it's for her study. She gave permission. Geet happily thanked her mother and left with Noor.

At collage, Geet completed form filling much before Noor and she came out. It was girl's collage. So she could roam around without fear of any man she would find. Anyways she had got never any chance to come without her mother so decided to see the place herself. She was wondering holding a diary and pen in hand when suddenly saw a pamphlet advertisement on outer wall. Something attracted Geet. She decided to check it carefully.

It was a job advertisement by a theatre company, seeking for young singers and dancers for part time work. She thought for a while, then decided to write the address.

"Maanhar Theatre" She wrote. Interview date was a month later. Then she check for address when found the paper was torn. She looked around for another Pamphlet and found one across road. She moved back but the area was not so crowded. She knew, wouldn't get chance later so decided to go ahead. Geet again checked but words were dusty, not so visible. She found one more pamphlet at some far, in a lane. She went and finally succeeded to note full address.

She smiled in satisfaction. As she turned to leave found a man was stood there, at the entrance of lane. He was facing his back to her. Geet looked back to find another way out but lane was closed on other side. She was trapped. Slowly she moved to him. "What if he would harm me?" she was scared. She tried to slip without disturbing him but gap was not much wider that she could enter.

"Suniye" she whispered, but didn't spoke enough louder that he could hear. Then she advance hand to touch his shoulder, but took it back. She was hesitated. "What should I do? She thought. For her good luck, guy moved little away. Geet got chance to escape but when she was entering in little gap, guy felt her movement and he turned around in such pace, his shoulder pressed her body. Geet hit her elbow in wall. She moaned.

"I'm sorry!" He shouted out and held her waist for support immediately, when looking at her face, his breathe blew off.

Geet felt electric shock in body with his touch. She jolted back. She moved back and run away. Maan shouted, "Listen.. Your diary!" Geet stopped at some far. She found her diary in his hand and he was smiling. The same smile she had found last night when he had demanded to see her face.

Finding no other way she spoke low voice, "Keep it on that window. I'll pick from there"

"What? What did you say? I can't hear?" he shouted. "Are you saying me to come to you and give in your hand?" Maan was enjoying her nervousness.

She shook head right away.

"Then?"

"I said, keep it on that window" little louder she shouted.

"But that window is not much wide. Diary will fall in dirt"

Geet then looked around for another place she could use. If she walks near, he will again touch her' Geet had fear. Maan understood her plight. He said to lessen down her tension, "Okay fine. I've better idea. I keep it on that car and I will move back at far. You can then come and take it. Is it okay for you?"

Geet nodded.

Maan kept diary on a car front and moved back at distance but he had another plan. He was ready with his camera. As Geet came and picked up diary and turned, he clicked her photo. Geet looked him shocked when she heard Noor was looking for her. Geet runs to her and before Noor could understand anything, Geet dragged her along with in same speed.
