Maan came out of his thoughts with his drivers voice...
Driver - sir... We reached...maan looked outside... Handa haveli... It's written on the side walls... She looked at the driver and said... Go inside...
Watchman came and enquired... Later he opened the gates and let him inside...
Maan went inside... The house manager came and enquired about the purpose of the visit... Maan told him about his work... I want ur madams signatures... Urgently... I have to leave the country... He said with authority and carelessness...
HM - sir... Plz be seated... Madam his busy in pooja... I will inform her...
Maan sat on the sofa... He could hear faint voice of some chantings... He looked around the house... It's a big bungalow on the beach side... He could hear the waters... He stood up and went to the window... He could see the vast sea... It's a beautiful view... He sat on the chair available there...
A servant came and offered him juice... And went away... Maan thought... Even fresh juice is poison for me in ur house geet handa... He took the glass and poured it into the flowerpot kept there...
He waited for some more time... His patience is declining and his anger is rising... He took the file and moved to the room where the chanting is coming from...
Geet is sitting and performing the pooja... There is a huge portrait of a lady... The lady is smiling and is beautiful... But... There is a garland hanging to the portrait...
Maan stood at the entrance seeing geet in white dress... He understood the pooja may be for a dead person... So he controlled his anger and stood there watching her...
Pandit ji said... Beta... Aap unka Naam batayiye kiske liye yeh pooja rakhwaya hain...
Geet - ji... Meri didi ke liye hain yeh pooja... Unka Naam Antra hain... Antra handa...Lekin hum unhe meethi kehke bulate hai ... Toh aap ussi Naam se pooja kijiye...
Pandit - ji... And he started chanting the mantras... Geet is offering ghee to the hawan...
The pooja was about to end... And the he said... Beti... Aaj bohut khas di hain... Aap jiske liye bhi pooja karte ho... Unki aata ko shanti mil jati hain... Toh Kya hum... Aap ke papaji aur tauji ke liye bhi pooja kare...
Geet nodded... She had tears remembering her father and her tauji... They loved her and Antra dearly... But she is all alone now... She had the responsibility of two mothers... One who is not in a condition to understand anything and one who is putting a brave face just for her sake...
Pandit ji chanted some more mantras for the Handa brothers... Rajinder and mohinder...
Geet remembered something... She asked panditji...
Geet - Pandit ji ... Ek aur hai jinke Naam bhi lijiye aur pooja kijiye...
Pandit Ji - theek hain beta... Aap unka Naam batayiye aur unse aapko rishta bhi...
Geet - ji unka Naam siddharth Khurana hain... Aur Woh mere hone wale jijaji the... Geet said crying looking at the portrait of Antra...
Maan stood rooted at the door listening to geet...everything came as shock for him... The house manager came and asked him to come with her as geet's taiji wants to meet him... Maan was not in a position to talk anything... He simply followed the manager... She took him to the backyard where a lady in white is sitting looking at the sea...anybody can say that she is extreme pain... Her facial expressions showed the pain...
Maan was introduced and she asked him to sit...
Lady - Mera Naam pammi handa hain... Main geet ki taiji hoon... Aap... She asked him...
Maan said with great difficulty... Ji main Maan Singh Khurana...
Pammi - oh... Mr Khurana... Aaj Kal geet aapke Saath hi kaam karr rahi haina...
Maan nodded... Pammi continued... Maaf kijiye ga... Aap geet ke liye aaye honge... Aur Woh aaj pooja mein baithi hain... Meri himmat Nahi ki main apni beti ki shrath hote hue dekhun... She cried... Pata Nahi geet kaise sambhal rahi hain apne aap ko... She said... Maan sat there with no reaction...
A few minutes later he asked... Ji Kya hua aapki beti ko...
Pammi wiped her tears and started telling... Hum London mein rehte the... Inder Main aur Antra... Inder hum ko teen saal,pehle chodke chale Gaye... Main waha Nahi reh saki toh main geet aur rano ke paas aagayi sab kuch bech ke... Meethi waha akeli rehti thi... Uska waha job tha...kuch contract tha... Toh usse waha do saal aur rehna tha... Lekin kareeb ek saal pehle Woh yaha aayi apna job chodke... Woh bohut kamzor hogayi thi... Au pata chala ki usse blood cancer hain... Last stage mein... Pammi cried saying that... Geet ne bohut koshish ki usse bachane ki... Duniya mein sab jagah ghumi uski reports leke... Lekin koi ummed hi Nahi thi... Aur ek saal pehle issi din Woh... Pammi couldn't utter the words... Maan understood... Meethi left them forever on this day...
Maan enquired about geet...
Pammi - bechari sab kuch akeli hi handle karr rahi hain... Inder bhaisab...mithu... Matlab geet's papa... Ke jaane ke baad rano...( Geet ki mama) apna hosh kho baithi... Woh uss sadme se bahar hi Nahi aa payi... Abhi Woh asylum mein hain...she said shedding tears remembering rano... Who is more than a sister to her... Pata Nahi babaji kab meherbaan honge mithu par... Ek ke baad ek ... Koi na koi pareshani hothi rehti hai ... Aur toh aur... Kisine... She was about to tell more... The house maid came and told that the pooja was completed and the panditji asked every family member to be present... Pammi nodded and slowly stood up... She went inside asking maan to wait... She will send geet in a while... But maan couldn't wait there... He also went there... As pooja was done on his brothers name too...
Pandit ji gave blessing to everyone and left from there... Pammi called geet... Geet beta mr Khurana aaye hain tumse Milne... Geet was stunned hearing her words... She nodded and turned around to go and meet maan... But stood rooted seeing him in the same room...
Pammi also saw maan and said... Mr. Khurana... Aap plz thodi der wait karsakte hain... Geet ne subah se kuch Nahi khaya hain... Iss halat mein usse bhuka rehna theek Nahi hoga...
Maan didn't understand what pammi was saying... He kept quiet... A maid came and gave geet her food... But geet refused to eat... Badi maa... Abhi Nahi... Baad mein khaoongi...
But pammi was adamant... Nahi geet... Is halat mein zyaada der bhuka rehna theek Nahi hain... Tujhe ya BACHE ko kuch bhi hosakta hain...
Maan's eyes widened hearing bache... He looked at geet... And he saw her baby bump...which Geet was trying cover with her dupatta... Even though it was not evident in her loose dress... But anyone seeing her keenly can say she is pregnant...May be 6 or more months..
Geet - mr Khurana... Could you plz wait in my study... I'll be there in few minutes... And she turned to the maid and said... Saab ko study mein leke jao...
Maan has no other go other than to obey her words... He needed answers and it's better they talk in private... Maan went to study...
Geet had her food... Her badi maa lovingly fed her with her own hands... Geet was glad that atleast her badi maa is there with her in this difficult time... When she needed her mother and her mother is not in position to shield her ... Her badi maa done every thing to protect her... She didn't even ask who is responsible for her condition... As pammi has seen a completely broken geet and she didn't want to further add to geet's miseries...
Geet went to study... Maan was standing in front of the family portrait... It had everyone in the family... Rajinder, pammi, meethi( Antra) ... Mohinder, rano and mithu( geet )... They all are very happy... May be geet and Antra were in their teens and there is a huge smile on every ones face... The family shattered when first mohinder left followed by Rajinder... And a couple of years later Meethi also left...
Geet composed her self... And went to her table making a sound...
Maan turned around and saw her... Geet said... Give me the file mr. Khurana... I will sign... And sorry for the inconvenience... You should have called my office... Some one would have informed me ... Anyways... Pass me the file... I will sign and we can finish this once for all... Geet said with indifference clearly visible...
Maan just stood there looking at her... How much she has changed... Earlier she used to have a huge smile just by seeing him... But now her eyes are life less... They have no warmth in them... They are so dry...
Geet's mobile rang ... She recieved it... Her assistant said some thing...
Geet - mere aane mein time lagega... Kuch kaam aagaya hain... Tum log pohuncho... Main directly aati hoon... Aur sab ready rakhna...
Maan looked at her not knowing what to say...
Geet look at him and said... Mr. Khurana file...
Maan was unmoved... Geet said... Aap jaise bade business man .. Mere jaise ladki ke ghar pe zyaada der rahe toh aapki izzat kam hojayega mr. Khurana...
Maan closed his eyes... He then asked... Tumne mujhe kyun Nahi bataya geet...
Geet - Kya... Mr. Khurana...
Maan - yehi ki tum Meethi Nahi ho...
Geet - aap ne kabhi poocha mr. Khurana...
Maan knew he never asked...
Geet - file dijiye... Mujhe bahar Jana hai...
Maan - Nahi geet... Aaj mujhe mere saare sawalon ke jawab chahiye...
Geet - aur main aap ko jawab dena zaroori Nahi samajhti ... She countered...
Maan - jawab toh dena hoga tumhe geet... Kyun ki tumhari behen ki wajah se hi Sid ne...
Before maan could complete... Geet answered... Meri been ne kuch Nahi kiya mr. Khurana...
Maan countered - sab kuch ussi ke wajah se hua... Agar Woh aisa Nahi karti toh shayad mera bhai zinda hota... Maan shouted...
Geet flinched at his voice... But she answered... Kya jaante hain mr. Khurana aap meri behen ke baare mein... Kuch bhi Nahi... Toh aap uske baare mein baat kaise kar sakte hain... You have no right... Geet said with tears...
Maan didn't step back after seeing geet's tears... He wanted answers at any cost... He stood crossing his hands in front... I will say that a thousand times geet... Kyun ki Sid ne mere liye letter chodta tha jiske usne yehi kaha ki Woh Meethi ki wajah se hi suicide karr raha hain...
Geet - Woh Antra hain aap ke liye... Woh Meethi sirf unse pyaar Karne walo ke liye hain... Aur Kya likha Sid ne yehi na ki Meethi ne usse paison ke liye chod ke chaligayi... Uska business loss mein chal raha tha... Yehi na...
Maan stunned with geet's words... He couldn't get how geet knew that... Tumhe kaise pata he asked...
Geet - mujhe sab kuch pata hain... Kyun ki Antra ne mujhe sab kuch bataya tha... Usne aisa Isliye kiya kyunki Woh chahthi thi Sid usse bhul jaaye aur zindagi mein aage badhe... Kyun ki Woh jaanti thi ki uske paas zyaada waqt Nahi tha... Geet said crying...
Maan was mum learning the truth... Meethi knew her condition and she did every thing for Sid...
Geet - Maine usse samjha ne ki koshish ki ki Sid ko sab kuch batade... Lekin Woh Nahi maani... Kyun ki Sid usse bohut pyaar karta tha aur Woh iss baat ko kabhi bhi accept Nahi karega aur Meethi ki hi yaadon mein hi jiyega... Aur Meethi Sid ko khush dekhna chahthi thi... Is liye usne Woh sab kaha... Lekin jab Woh dosri baar London gayi... Waha Sid ko dekh ke usse bohut takleef hui... Aur phir Sid ko yeh Jataya ki Woh kaafi khush hain... Taki Sid ko Lage ki Woh uski pyaar ke Kabil hi Nahi hain... Aur Woh Meethi ko bhul jaaye... Usse Kya pata tha ki aisa kuch hoga... Sid aisa kuch karega...
Geet - jab dosri baar humne Sid ko dekha... Maine bohut samjha ne ki koshish ki ... Lekin Woh mani Nahi... Usne ek aadmi ko yeh kehne ke liye kaha ki Meethi ki death hogayi... Aur Sid ne usse itna maare ki Woh aadmi marte marte bacha... Woh ek jhuti Khabar par aise react kiya toh agar usse pata chalega ki Meethi Sach mein maut ke kareeb hain to socho kaise react karega... Phir main bhi kuch keh Nahi paayi... Agar mujhe Zara as bhi andaza hota ki Sid itna kamzor hain toh Meethi ka Saath kabhi Nahi deti...
Maan - Sid kamzor Nahi... Bas Woh bardaash Nahi karaya Meethi ke dhoke ko...
Geet - aap maane ya na maane Sid kamzor hi hain maan... Buzdil bhi Aur bewakoof bhi... Maan's anger rose hearing the words geet is uttering... He was about to shout at her... But geet didn't give him the chance...Usne ek baar bhi Nahi socha ki Jo ladki usse jaan se bhi zyaada pyaar karti thi... Woh achanak kaise badal gayi... Usne kabhi socha ki Kya hua hoga... Kya pata kisine usse aise Karne par kisine majboor kiya ho... Ya phir shayad usse hi kuch hogaya ho... Nahi... Usne aise ek baar bhi Nahi socha... Sid ka pyaar itna kamzor tha ki ek jhatka laga aur Woh hawa mein udd Gaya...
Maan - Geet tum aise kaise keh sakte ho...
Geet - aisa hi hain maan... Sid mein zindagi Jeene ki himmat hi Nahi hain... Aur uncle aur aunty ka Kya... Dadi ji ka Kya... Kya Woh sab pyaar Nahi karte hain Sid se... Ek ladki ne mana Kya kardiya... Toh jaan dene chale Aate hain ... Jo pyaar karte hain unke liye jeena chahiye... Jo Nahi karte hain unke liye jaan kyun de... Aise login ko kamzor hi kehte hain... Jo zindagi mein ek jhatka lagne par jaan dedete hain...
Maan - Woh bardaash Nahi karpaya geet... Chacha ke sapne toot Gaye aur chachi ka bharosa bhi ... Aur Kya karta Woh...
Geet - Woh sab dobara milsakta tha maan... Business phir se banaya ja Sakta hain... Aunty ji ka bharosa phir se jeeta jaa Sakta hain ... Lekin ... Lekin Kya zindagi milegi... Kya Jo jaan chali gayi Woh dobara milegi... Ek ki saza baki sab ko milgaya na... Meethi ka kuch Nahi ho Sakta tha... Hume takleef hui...aur dard bhi hua... Uska bache ke koi chances Nahi the... Lekin Sid... Uske Kya kiya... Uske iss harkat ki wajah se sab ko kitni takleef hui... Aunty ... Uncle... Dadi... Aap ... Main... Aur Meethi di... Sab unhe khush dekhna chahte hain... Lekin unhone aasaan sa rasta chuna...
Even maan knew what Sid has done is not right... But how could he not defen his brother...he said... Uske Saath dhoka hua tha geet... Aur uss samay Kya karr raha tha usse hi kuch pata Nahi tha...
Geet - dhoka... Dhoka Nahi hua hain unke Saath maan... Di ne unse breakup kiya tha... Haa manati hoon usne kuch theek Nahi kiya... Par Woh dhoka Nahi tha maan... Dhoka usse kehte hain Jo aapne mujhse ...business partner bane apne faayda ke liye...dosti ki apne maksad ke liye... Pyaar Jataya badla lene ke liye... Sapne dikhaye unhe todne ke liye...har pal... Har lamha sab dhoka tha maan...sab dhoka...aapne kahika chodta mujhe maan ... Suicide toh mujhe karna chahiye tha... Geet said in high pitch ...
Maan shouted...GEEETTT... At her word suicide...
Geet - don't shout mr. Khurana... Aur aapko fikar Karne ki koi zaroorrat Nahi hai ... Main kayar Nahi hoon... Aur Nahi aise insaan ke liye apni jaan doongi Jo sar se paun tak dhoke se bhara hain... Mujhe pyaar Karne wale aur bhi hain... She said placing her hand on her bump... Aur main unke liye jiyungi...
Maan knew he is at mistake... Not mistake but a sin... He should have enquired correctly... May he should have gone through the information correctly... Or probed for more information... But anyone would have confused... As both the brothers names are Inder... Few knew about them being Rajinder and mohinder... And mohinder was in Mumbai for a long time... And Rajinder in London... And even the names... Meethi and mithu... Also confused him further... Sid never mentioned Antra... He always told him Meethi only... If he ever mentioned it... This confusion would not have been there .
And above all he should have confronted geet... But he was blinded by revenge and his revenge cost him two lives ...no three lives now... He and his geet's...and baby's... He looked at geet's bump...there is no doubt that geet is carrying his baby...he knew geet... She was so committed to him... She never ever made him feel alone... It's true that some times he was feeling alone but geet's presence always made him happy...he wanted to know everything about her pregnancy... But now it's not possible ... She will not even let his shadow near her... He was not sure of love... Coz he never looked at her with love... Whenever he saw her he was reminded of this deceased brother... And he wanted to make her life hell before he leaves... But now everything is opposite... Now his life has no less than a hell with the revelation... He spoiled her life...
Pammi came inside... Geet dried her tears and smiled at her...
Pammi - mithu... Woh hospital se phone aaya hain... Woh pooch rahe hain ki hum kab tak pohunchenge...
Geet - Haa.. Badi maa... Abhi 10 min mein nicklenge... Mr. Khurana abhi jaane wale hi hain...
Maan started at geet... She is indirectly saying him to go away... But he knew he has do something... He nodded at pammi... Took the file... And left from there... As he knew his deed is not forgivable... And geet would never forgive him...
