It can take you days, months, even years to better your life but it only takes a second for you to ruin someone else's.
Maan: GM dad , how r u ?
YSK: GM Maan , i'm fine , how was ur trip ?
Maan: perfect ,, nd work is in progress ,, it's a big project in bay area .
YSK: humm ,, how is Geet?
He asked coldly but Maan felt his pain ,, he knew why he was cold like this nd why he didn't take her name happily.
Maan: she is fine nd well settled , doing job in an IT company ,, her office was in same building where our co partner's main office.
YSK: hummm .
Maan didn't have courage to tell him more seeing his cold reaction nd about Geet's indifference behaviour at 1st place nd rest he cn't open coz Geet told him not to say .
YSK : OK ,take rest u came from a long journey .
Maan: Ji , dad.
He came out nd went to living hall where Dadima nd Rashi wr waiting for him ,, Nakul brought coffee for him ,, he opened his one bag nd took out two packets belong to Dadima nd his mom& dad ,, she opened them nd saw d things ,, both admired his choice suddenly something fell from a packet when Rashi took out his Dad shirt ,, she saw that nd that was a small toy car .
Rashi: Maan ye toy car kiske liye ?
Maan nd Dadima looked at that ,, Maan instantly recognized that car nd took that from Rashi's hand ,, he was shocked how it came there in his packets ?
Maan: wo , I think this belong to a child who was playing there in Mall when I was shopping there .
He tried to cover up d thinsgs nd kept that car in his pent pocket ,, then Dadima nd Rashi started asking about Annie nd Arjun ,, he was replying them quietly ,, after satisfying them he excused himself for taking some rest ,, he was feeling jetleg .
He came in his room ,, Nakul brought his bags nd placed them there nd went ,, Maan took out manu's car from his pocket placed that on his palm nd smiled ,, kissed that lovingly saying ... tumhe pata bhi nahi ki tumhari pyaari car mujhe gift mei mil gai ,, love u baby nd missing u .
Maan placed that toy car in his bed's side table ,, change nd lie down to take some rest ,, he was looking at car nd thinking how it came in his packs ,then remembered that manu was playing with d car nd all d packets wr there on sofa nd by mistake he dropped that in pack ,, this was his fav car nd he deffo asked for this car to Geet ,, Maan checked d time to call Geet but it was not d right time to disturb her ,, decided to call her later he slept ,, he didn't know that she was on leave.
Geet nd manu wr busy spending time together , she was sipping her eve coffee while manu was playing with his new found gifts by Maan ,, between his play he talked about Maan nd asked when they we going to India ,, Geet was amazed how in a small time her kid attached to Maan ,, her main prob was now their India visit ,, she had to attend Prem nd Heer wedding nd Maan got that , he deffo tired to meet manu again in Delhi ,, 1st she though that she wd stay with Heer nd went to meet YSK in his office but now her all plan was going to fail if Maan tried to meet manu there ,, manu deffo want to meet Khurana family coz he thought they wr their family nd Jojo is his fav ,,, she cd make any excuse to avoid her visit to KM but now it wd be tough for her to manage manu ,, she didn't want to visit KM again , Maan's visit in in their life freshened her wounds again ,, Maan's behaviour was staggering her ,, why he was so caring nd humble , he never liked her presence around him.
Geet recalled how he scold her when he came to know that she was in d same college in which he was doing his masters in architecture.
***
She started her school nd worked hard , d pain of sepration from her family turned in to anger nd anger in to hatered after passing yrs ,, slowly she started helping Nakul in kitchen work ,, kept herself away from Dadima nd Maan though Rashi nd Yash talk to her lovingly but after passing yrs they became busy nd busy nd things wr going normal ,, Rashi was looking after all d matters nd sometime Yash too visit her in her room , talked to her and asked about her studies ,, he was happy that she was doing well nd encouraged her more * she she was among d most intelligent girls in d school,, participated in many competitive exams nd got scholarships all d teachers too helped those students who brightened d school's name ,, she performed well in her 10th nd 12th boards nd got above 90% even without any proper coaching she got good score in IP ,, she only practiced from Maan's old books nd her teachers helped her ,, her base was strong nd she did well ,, she choose Comp Sc nd got govt seat in a good Pvt college which has IP seats.
She consulted Yash nd went for counselling , Rashi went with her for counselling ,, there wr pref of colleges nd Geet got of her choice ,, Rashi did'nt give much attention to college list , there wr many ,, Maan decided his college himself after his +2 ,d took admission in a Pvt college coz he was interested in B-arch, he was in his 3yr , had his own car , sometime he stayed in hostel nd sometime in KM ,, he was a son of a well settled businessman nd lived a hify life ,, Annie was a princess nd did her +2 with Geet but she declared that she wd do her grds from UK coz her friends wr going there ,, she applied in few uni nd got her admission ,, this time Yash nd Rashi went with her to UK , she was in hostel with her friends.
All wr going well nd peaceful ,, Geet gen spent her time in kitchen or in her room she didn't come out bcoz of Dadima nd Maan ,, now she was grown up nd Dadima many time warned her to live in limits nd didn't try to play with Khurana's respect even she taunted Rashi too saying ... dusre ke ghar ke kuda (dirt) utha to laye ho dekh lena kahin apni aankh mei na pade ,, balai ke chakker mei badnami na ser pade ,, handa's ka peecha to ess curse se choot gaya lekin humare ser per aa baita...
She reminded her to keep a distance from d family nd Geet did that ,, Rashi didn't reply back knowing Dadima's nature ,, Geet never tried to know what was happening in d Khurana's family .
In starting days of college students make fun of her dresses , she wore simple suits nd kept her hair tied in a braid , spects nd a jhola ,, she never go to canteen nd spent her extra time in library ,, after passing time all went silent seeing her cold behaviour nd intelligence ,, she had very minimal talk to students .. she was doing well nd was in her last yr when things turned wrong .
