Rashi: Geet beta tumne manu ke papa ke bare mei kuch nahi bataya ,, kaun hei wo aur tumne shaadi kab ki ? itna paraya samjh liya ki hume manu ki bhi news nahi di ?
Yash: Haan Geet , i'm very angry with u on this issu ,, u know I never interfere in any one of my child's life nd I don't have any objection if they choose their life partners but u cd tell us that u r marrying .
Geet fumbled formulating d words ,, Maan too was very curious to know about Manu's father ,, that time Geet refused to say anything regarding that but now he too was eager to know ,, Geet gulped hard ,, she was sitting with down head nd all wr waiting for her reply ,, she composed her , looked at manu painfully nd then to her plate ,, she spoke in very cold voice .
Geet: yeah i'm wrong here nd felt bad not to inform u nd Aunty , i'm sorry for that ,, he was my Sr nd I was very disturbed that time ,, feeling all alone nd dejected again after yrs ,, I was hell busy to settle myself there as I was determined not to come in India again ,, search part time job with some Srs help , then study hard to get d max scholarship to for next yr to reduce my edu expenditures ,, I tried to get sponsorship for my edu giving few comp exams ,, d life was very hard nd busy for me ,, my heart didn't want to take any help from here . I already burdened u a lot nd u both bore so much for me .
Geet felt burn in her eyes not even she all wr recalling what she had faced that time nd decided to live this place nd requested them to let her go ,, all wr looking down with heavy heart ,, Maan nd Dadima gave looked at each other nd then Maan lowered his eyes at his plate feeling ashamed at his pre behaviour .
Geet: I met him nd after few months I realized that I have to go with this relation ,, at least I cn have my own family ,, some one only related to me ,, I wanted to tell u but a fear stopped me , what if u opposed that nd rejected ,, I was very much oblized nd buried under this family's favours ,, it wd hurt me if u denied me OR it wd hurt u if i denied ,, so in that dismay I didn't tell u anything .
Yash: I know u wr hurt beta , but i'm sad u didn't trust me too .
Geet: I trust u uncle but I don't want to hurt u more coz of me ,, I was not good for any one , nd I didn't want to disturb this family any more.
Rashi: essa nahi sochty beta,, where is he now ? who is he ind or other .
Geet: ind but now nothing for us ,, he left us .
All: What !!! Why ? (all wr shocked except Maan ,he knew that when he met her)
Geet smiled painfully and looked at all one by one: like my family nd few more ppl , he too thought that i'm not good for him nd my presence in his life affecting his happiness so he moved on with some one else whom he find perfect for him nd that was nothing new for me ,, if my so called family , my blood relatives cn threw me out from their family then why not others ,, it became my destiny , so it was better to live with this fact that i'm not good for any one .
All wr looking at her painfully but she gave a weak smile to them showing that she was Ok with this life .
Rashi: did he know about manu? How cd he left u like this?
Geet: Aunty if a mother cd discard her child then why not he ,, nd this was nothing new in that culture ,, ppl r very free there nd don't bother for others,, (Geet looked at manu who was busy with jojo nd running behind him ) he didn't know about manu ,, He is nothing for us nd we r happy in our small world .
Maan: what'll u say if he asked about his father ?
Geet smiled: in US this is very common ,, there child belong to mother nd there is no need of father's name , even not in documents ,, we don't need him ,, manu is a US citizen now nd Govt of US providing him all facilities like all US citizens nd I too got my Gr*** c* ** 2 months back , Manu has his US passport nd now i've to change mine .
Maan: how do u get ur GC so early ?
Geet: there r many catagories ,, I applied for that when I was doing my MS nd after manu's birth he becomes US citizen nd coz of him I got it lil early as comapere to others .
Rashi : Geet manu kitne saal ka hai ?
Geet: 2 yr .
Rashi: how u manage beta ,, it was so tough to bring up a child alone.( her eyes wr wet )
Geet: bas ho gaya ,, my land lord wr very helpful nd i'm still living with them ,, If God hurt us , he'll heal us too .
Yash: u have to inform us Geet ,, u hurt me .
Geet: u too hurt me uncle ,, u informed Annie but u didn't informe me about u ,, u cornered me .
All wr quiet bcoz they wr at fault too nd they knew that how Geet went from here ,, Maan nd Dadima wr tongue tight ,, Yash nd Rashi exchange a painful look nd then looked at Maan nd Dadima with a complaining mannor ,, Geet saw that nd to reduced d sadness she cover up matter .
Geet: jo hona tha ho gaya ,, uske bare mei ab kya baat kerni ,, i'm happy with Manu nd plzz don't feel bad for us ,, at least now i've a family ,, my own child nd he has his mother with him , he is not depand on others .
Geet told everything nd felt relieved ,, thought Yash nd Rashi wr sad with all this but they knew well that how Geet was rejected by Dadima nd Maan nd she always felt herself a burden ,, they cared for her but not like their own child they wr too bounded by their family (Maan nd Dadima) nd d last lash from Maan made Geet more dejected .
Geet: i'm sorry uncle/aunty I hurt u but I was so lost to gather my broken life nd carreer that I didn't want to trouble u more ,, I very well knew that my mere name too affect d happiness of this family ,, so it was better to keep me away ,, plzz don't feel bad, now i'm that much mature to understand d things ,, u did a lot for me nd if i'm happy nd doing well today that is all bcoz of ur selfless efforts , i'm very obliged nd thankful to u ,, u gave me a successful life nd i'm doing well in my life , i'm happy nd satisfied .
Geet gave a wide smile to Yash nd Rashi to ease them nd they too gave her a weak smiles expect Maan ,, even this time Dadima too gave a smile but she said nothing ,, Geet was surprised that Dadima didn't taunt her nd remarked at her life nd Manu ,, no doubt she had change ,, But Why ?
All's attention diverted listening Manu's cry ,, he was chasing Jojo nd fell down ,, Maan, Yash nd Geet rushed at once but Maan was fast nd he took Manu in his arms , hugged him nd started consoling him ,, all gathered around him nd tried to pacifying crying Manu.
Maan: don't cry baby , OK i'll scold jojo nd we'll go out to eat icecream nd won't give to jojo ,, he is a dirty dog .
He called his driver to take out his car to go out ,, manu became lil calm hugging Maan from his neck he spoke with sobs.
Manu: I want 2 ice-cleam ,, mommy can I ?
Geet: not 2 baby , one ,, u'll fall sick .
Maan: Geet , it's OK , i'll handle him , don't worry ,, we r just coming back .
Geet nodded nd Maan went out with manu ,, all settled in living hall ,, Yash informed Adi that he was coming lil late .
Yash: Geet when u r going out ?
Geet: in an hr uncle ,, let d manu come then I'll go for change .
Then they started their normal talk about her job nd career ,, poor soul Jojo came nd sat there placing his face on floor missing his playing partner ,, after 20 min Maan nd Manu came with 3-4 icecream tubs in hands nd one cone Manu was licking ,, Geet rolled her eyes seeing them nd both gave her a smile .
Geet: now u r happy , lets go nd change ur dress baby , wr r going out ,, Geet took manu in her arms nd Maan handed tubs to Rashi .
Rashi: etni saari ?
Maan: usse jo pasand thi maine le li .
Manu: glanny don't give Jojo .
Rashi: OK , all r urs .
Geet: finish it fast , we have to change nd she went in .
After leaving Geet Yash gave a painful look to Maan nd Dadima nd said in a heavy tone.
Yash: r u not feeling happy today ? She was all alone there nd faced a lot but didn't say a word to us ,,, Rashi go nd bring my office bag , i'll leave for office with Geet .
