Ho gai galti

(OS on amritsar track; demand of zornitsa)

It was not so easy; yet she knew she will not be able to stay back with him after his words in the morning.

"kyuki meri rago me khurrana khandan ka khoon behta hai, jisme gairat hai; aur wohi gairat agar geet me nahi hai toh ye meri problem nahi hai. Shayad geet ki rago me safeed khoon daudta hai, isiliye apni beizzatti bhul k wo tumhare jaise insan ko maaf kar sakti hai, magar mai nahi!" his words rang in her mind "bolo geet, dev ne aisa kya kar diya tumhare liye jo aaj tum sab kuchh bhul k iske saath holi khel rahi ho? Bhul gai ki dev ne tumhare saath kya kiya tha? Jawab do geet... jawab do mujhe!" Making her head throb in pain and... she didn't know what to name that feeling very close to disgust, but still not that!

She never knew he could say something like that for her ever! Yes she was aware of his extreme anger and had adjusted to it but she never in her dreams could think that it may do damage to their relation at this extent that even thinking of mending it in near future seemed too difficult; then actually mending it was out of question!

She sighed... Probably that's why they say keep your words in check; as they may hurt sometimes more than a sword can!

Her life had taken a big turn in just few minutes as those word left his mouth and her brain registered the same; what hurts more was they were uttered by the same man who she vowed to share her life with.

She had been despised before too, even by her own blood... But the level of damage it brought this time is nowhere comparable to any other time, any other hurt. This time it more felt like... "geet - hui sabse parayi!"

In a country like india, the girl is supposed to be parayi from her birth itself; as she is supposed to be married off when the time comes, and that where she goes after marriage - her husband's house; is supposed to be her house and where she was born and brought up is supposed to be her maayka! Where she is nothing more than a guest!

Yet in the same country there are instances of a woman being abused at her so-called own house for issues as petty as dowry, or just voicing her views out, or even bearing a girl child!

But that was not what the case was geet... It was different! It was purely the matter of ego, anger, and failure of a man to let go off the past and embrace the present with a smile; and when she - his wife; did the same easily, it came as an outburst! And she was the one bearing all consequences.

She knew by now what losing meant; as she has lost all her precious relations at every stage of life! At the age when a girl enters womanhood, expects to be married and leave her parents only to go to her sasural, she had lost them completely; when she thought she was married, had someone to share her every happiness or sorrow for life, it turned out yo be facade; at the time when she was ready to move forward with the little life in her closing all doors of past with a smile, god became cruel enough to have the little life all for himself! And if that was not enough, the only possession she was left with at the end; her husband, her life partner or better to say practically her whole world, even that was snatched by the destiny... What more tests were left in her life she wondered!

"Amritsar Amritsar..."

The calling of bus conductor broke her thoughts... She sighed and got up... It was time to fight back and she was determined to do so. She knew it was only a matter of short period of time unless maan realises how wrong he had been... But the question was of her pride now; and she was a woman before his wife; the individuality in her would never let her forgive him easily. Though both of them knew they can't stay away from each other for long, and the same maan may use to win her back... Good! She was already dreaming of forgiving him, and that was the proof enough that this distance won't last long. But the fact that he had insulted her blood didn't go down well with her; and above all he could not check his words once speaking all those rubbish, he thought there can be a hidden reason in why she forgave dev? How could he? Did he not trust her enough? A thought crossed crossed her mind... but she brushed it off immediately; could let herself think so for her maan, yes he was still her maan, her husband, but more than that a man who had given her this life free of boundations of society; he was next to god for her, and will always be, she may get angry on her husband... parr apne bhagwan se naraz ho kar kaha jaegi?

Lost in thoughts... all of past, present and future; she didn't know when she reached Amritsar, she kept sitting at her seat still lost when conductor came and told that it was the last stop and she needs to get down. She collected her bag and moved out... She kept walking at the side of the road all lost, she didn't know where to go and what to do? Just followed the crowd or got carried away in it.

She stopped suddenly... here she is at the darbar of her babaji; at the enterance of The Golden Temple, maybe her babaji called her to him to show her light and bring out of this darkness. She moved in, all feelings left her, except the eagerness to seek the blessings of almighty and grace herself with the warmth.

Maan was in his gym; working out to calm his anger down... he was still seething reliving the moment of geet and dev playing holi... how could she? How could geet forgive dev, if he himself couldn't being dev's brother?

Little did he know the amount of patience, forgiveness, and bearing capacity of a woman. More than that in geet's case it was her fear to lose more, family relations and love for maan and dadi that they had to face awkward situatios always with dev living with them now.

The incidents of decoreated farmhouse, geet and dev standing close and geet saying "maine tumhe maaf kiya dev" haunted him... and he excercised more and more and more vigourously. Today that didn't seem to help him... he moved out to his pool now and started taking laps in full speed not caring even a bit of the muscle cramp that had started to form due to more than ususal exercise.

Geet entered the Golden Temple; she went there and sat for long long hours, just absorbing all the energy; she had again started to feel home. It was evening already she went towards the kitchen and volunteered to help them in making lanagr... she took up the place of the lady cooking dal, she stirred it occasionally making sure it gets cooked properly; all the while her mind thinking of the times she would make pasta for maan; a smile touched her lips and a tear fell at the same time. Someone touched her shoulder; she looked up the lady was saying "dal pak gayi hai" she nodded and left it; but got busy in other works... she didn't wanted to think about him now, wanted to give herself sometime but hardly she could resist if it was him or merely his thoughts!

It was night already; maan had stopped swimming finally and was calmer now. He had also to a good extent realized that what he said in fit of anger was no right for their relation; it was him who let dev in between their relation; better he would have solved this matter talking with geet inside the room rather than in presence of dev. This looked clear now, still he decided to give sometime to himself before talking to geet, lest he burst on her again.

He moved to the room and straight went into washroom to take a hot shower and calm his aching muscles. The shower was quite soothing and he got more time to think, the whole day events started as slide show in his mind, making him ponder over what he did and how right it was. The more he thought the more he felt it was just a spur of moment, and he should settle things between him and geet, slowly his thought process switched to other things and he had forgotten about the gravity of the situation in that. After like an hour remaining there, he finally turned the shower knob off and looked for his towel; but didn't find it inside.

"geet... mera towel pass karna" he called out and waited. "geet... geet" he called again not getting any response.

After like good 10 minutes someone knocked at the door, he opened to find his towel haging on the door handle, she must be really angry for leaving this here like this' he thought assuming geet had left it there.

He wiped himself and came out; he opened the cupboard to take out his clothes and was shocked!! Shocked to find only his clothes inside... "where are geet's clothes?" he frantically started to search for them messing the whole cupboard now, but didn't find even the traces of her things there... "dadi... dadi" he called out desperately; and quickly dressed up and moved out of the room calling for all "dadi, nakul, Deepak, annie!" he shouted for all and reached down at the living room. All were already present there giving him disapproving looks... "dadi geet kaha hai?" he said desperately ignoring their looks, that can be taken care of latter. "mai kuchh puchh raha hu aapse... dadi geet kaah hai?" he repeated not getting a reply. "annie! Annie geet kaha hai?" he asked annie now.

"annie bete aap jaiye yaha se" dadi said finally and dimissed her, even she was sad about geet leaving. Dadi now looked at maan "cahli gai hai geet... aapko aur iss ghar ko chhod k. aur hum unke saath hai, she is not wrong. Apni galti sudhar sakte hai to sudhar lijiye; I want my bahu back in this house in 15 days; aur jab tak geet ko mana na le, hume apni shakal mat dikhaiyega!" dadi spoke strongly and left maan alone.

As the words of dadi sinked in; maan held his head. ye kya ho gaya? I didn't realize how far I went in my anger, such insulting words I said ki geet mujhe chod kar jane pe majboor ho gayi? Iss waqt to mai khud ko bhi maaf nahi kar sakta, toh geet se kis muh se maafi mangunga?' he walked out of house now realizing the depth of hurt he instilled in her with his words.

Hidden Love

os was requested by Pooja..

Today was the worst day in Handa's life . Their small construction business crashed down leaving nothing for them . Mohinder Handa somehow stabilised himself with the the help of his wife Rano and children Geet and Kunal who were his internal strength . Geet has just given her 12th class board exams and was waiting for her results while Kunal has given 10th boards . Geet decided to do job after her results and side by side graduation by correspondence just to support her dad . Soon Geet's results come out and she scored 88.67% but letting go all her dreams of joining college she found a call centre job and filled form for first year B.com in DU open learning institute..

Geet joined her job . It was pretty good job with nice amount of salary . She worked there for 3 years during this time period she completed her graduation and helped her father in setting his business once more which is right now running very smoothly . Mohinder told Geet to do her MBA from a good institute . She did lot of hardwork to clear CAT and was succeeded in it and got admission in well known management institute . She completed her MBA too and got placement in MNC as financial manager..

Geet entered her office and walked towards her cabin . She did her official work very well and became friends with Pari who was also in financial department . Their friendship grew more and both became best buddies . One normal day in office , Pari entered Geet's cabin..

" Geet..u promised me that you will come with me today to my house..chal jaldi apna kaam bind kar aur chal mere saath " ordered Pari keeping her hands on waist..

" Haa baba chal rahi hu " replied Geet packing all her stuff . She has already informed her parents about dinner at Pari's place..

Both sat in Pari's car and Pari drove towards her house . On reaching her house , Geet's mouth opened wide looking at magnificant mansion..

" Pari yaar tera ghar toh movies type hai " stated Geet coming out of car still gaping at mansion..

" Geet tu bhi na " Pari shaked her head at her friends comment..

Pari rang bell and a middle aged woman opened door who looking simply beautiful in her light yellowish saree..

" Geet meet my mom..Pooja Singh Khurana " introduced Pari hugging her mom sideways..

" Namaste Aunty " wished Geet beding towards Pooja's feet but she caught her arms and hugged Geet tight..

" Come inside beta " said Pooja lovingly and called Nakul to serve some snacks for Geet and told him to call Samar and Maan..

Samar stepped towards hall and Geet greeted him . Samar instantly liked Geet's nature and gave a look to Pooja who nodded her head as if she understood his silent wish..

" Geet let me give you a tour of house " said Pari getting up from couch and clutching Geet's hand took her to gave a tour of house..

After roaming around whole mansion , they seated for dinner . Pooja served Geet all the dishes and they started eating while talking..

" Maan itna time lagta hai neeche aane mein " taunted Pooja noticing Maan who was coming towards them..

" Mom aap bhi na..kabhi toh chup rahiye " annoyed Maan stated kissing his mom's cheeks..

" Bhai I told you about Geet..my friend..here she is " said Pari and Maan glanced at Geet while taking his seat..

He was bowled by her beauty . He kept gaping at her like a fool . She was looking so ethereal in simple floral loose top and blue denims with hair open . Her doe shaped eyes , cute nose , pink soft lips amd slender neck took his breath away . He fell for her at first sight and promised himself to make her his..

" Hii " meekly said Geet getting scared by his dark eyes..

"Ohhh ya Hii " wished Maan coming out of his trance..

Maan kept gawking at her all time not moving his eyeballs even for a second on the other hand Geet didn't even dare to raise her eyes . She was very well aware of his intense look on her . After spending some more time with Khurana's , Geet took leave from there..

Geet used to come to mansion more frequently because of Pari and if Maan will be at home that time then he will just look at Geet whole time hiddenly..

*****

" Pari..I need to talk to you " spoke Maan entering her room..

" Haa bhai " said Pari looking towards him..

" I love Geet " stated Maan shocking Pari..

" Kon Geet ? " mumbled Pari in shock state..

" Pari " Maan gritted his teeths..

" Nahi..I mean Geet..Geetu..meri bestie..oh my god..I can't believe this " shouted Pari jumping on bed..

" Dheera bol pagal..maarvayegi " Maan closed her mouth with his palms..

" Ab sun Geet se baat karna " said Maan with baby face..

" Aur yeh karne se mujhe kya milega " asked Pari with grin..

" Acha bachu mauke pe chauka..koi baat nahi iska badla main baad mein loonga..chal bol kya chaiye " said Maan..

" Jyada kuch nahi mein mom , dad aur Geet sabko mana loongi bas aap meri sports car ka intezam karo " said Pari and Maan nodded..

Pari talked with her parents who further talked with Geet's parents who recultantly agreed but after Maan assured them they agreed happily..

*****

Maan eyes moved towards stairs from where Geet was descending in bridal wear with heavy jewels . She was looking most beautiful bride in her reddish green lehenga matching with Maan's greenish gloden sherwani . He stood up and walked to Geet , forwarded his hand and Geet's soft hand touched his rough hand electifying him . Both took their seats and priest started chanting hymns for their marriage . Both stood up and took 7 pheras around fire then Maan tied mangalsutra around her neck and filled her partition with vermillion . Priest officially announced them husband and wife . Maan's happiness knew no bound at this moment..

Maaneet entered KM with Geet kicking rice pot and imprinting her feets marks on floor . After playing some games . Pari took Geet to room all the way teasing her and Geet could only blush . Maan entered room and found Geet sleeping resting her head on bed post . He took slow steps towards her , sitting beside her softly . He gently shake her shoulders . Geet woke up and nervously looked at Maan..

" Geet go get change and sleep .. its very late " said Maan noticing her nervousness . Though he had many plns for night but he supressed his urge wanting to give her sufficient time to be comfortable with him..

Geet nodded sighing and left for shower taking her night suit . Maan quickly changed in room and laid on bed feeling tired and soon sleep took over him . Geet came out and laid on bed showing her back to him mentally thanking babaji for giving her some time to adjust..

" Babaji..itne bhi bure nahi hai..warna toh pehle whenever I used to come to his house before marriage he just kept staring at me with his warewolf eyes..huh " mumbled Geet to herself closing her eyes..

Its been 2 months to their marriage and both were pretty much comfortable with each other . They used to eat their food together even lunches sometimes Maan come to Geet's office and other times Geet to his office . Today Maan was invited for his clients Mr and Mrs Demellos wedding . He has told Geet about this in morning . Geet told him that she will reach there directly from her office..

Demellos wedding venue Mrs Demello asks him about Geet and he says she will be there anytime and he turns and spots Geet who is looking shyly at him..

Maan is standing next to demello n Geet is walking fwd slowly n Maan looking at Geet.. Geet come and stood beside him.. Wedding vows exchanged . Maneet look at each other.. ring ceremony.. Priest explain meaning of ring exchange n Geet looks at her ring..n to Maan ..Maan blinks his eyes as if consenting to priests promise ..

Hosh mein rahun kyun aaj main
Tu meri baahon mein simti hai, mujh mein samayi hai yun
Jis tarah ki koi hum nadi, tu mere seenay mein chupti hai sagar tumhara main hoon
Pee loon teri dheemi dheemi lehron ki cham cham
Pee loon teri saundi saundi saanson ko har dum
Pee loon hai peenay ka mausam
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko

Tere sang bekraari hai

Geet looks at him .. n the kiss moment of demello couple .. Maneet niharing each other.. Rose asks Maneet to pose for pics and Maan puts hand on Geet shoulder. Maneet look at each other.. Geet comes to a open place fully decorated . Maan comes from behind and touches Geet with a flower all over.. to her lips..

Shaam ko milun jo main tujhe
Toh bura subah na jaane tu kuch maan jaati hai yeh
Har lamha, har gadi har pehar
Hi teri yaadon se tadpa ke mujhko jalati hai yeh
Pee loon main dheere dheere jalne ka yeh gumm
Pee loon inn gore gore haanthon se hum dum
Pee loon hai peenay ka mausam
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai
Tere sang ishq taari hai
Tere sang ik khumari hai
Tere sang chain bhi mujhko
Tere sang bekraari hai

Tere bin jee nahi lagda, tere bin jee nahi sakda

Maan kisses Geet head on the backside .. then her both eyes lingering over there for sometime and then near her lips .. Geet took a deep breath and turns to leave . Maan stops her by putting his hand over her abdomen and turned her around gently.. " Geet today I want to confess my HIDDEN LOVE for you which started with your entry in KM and it increased day by day..Geet I really LOVE YOU " Confessed Maan cupping her face..

Geet lowered her head thinking about his confession and her feelings towards him which developed in these 2 months . She smilingly looked upwards towards him and hugged him tightly keeping her head on his chest confessing her love for him " LOVE YOU a lots "...

Tujhpe hai haare maine vaare do jahan, kurbaan, meharbaan, ke main toh kurbaan
Sun le zara, tera kurbaan

DO KINAARE

Maan thumped on his seat gnashing his teeth..." I knew this Handa girl would ditch me..dam her..." he ran his hand through his hair groaning...

Maan was waiting for geet since an hour...and there was no sight of her.

He cursed himself for letting her go yesterday ..

FLASHBACK

Maan received his lawyer's call..who stated that in order to transfer the.land under his name..the actual owner should be present in court.

This enraged him more..the thought of meeting the crazy Handa family was unbearable for him..

Nevertheless he decided to visit the family..in evening

He parked his jeep and barrelled inside...As he made his way he bumped into geet...who was running hastily..

" what is ur problem girl cant u even walk properly " Maan retorted angrily glaring her..as she clutched his arm...to balance herself...

But it seemed like his words fell on a numb geet...

She was in a wrecked state..her body was trembling and forehead was sweaty..

her eyes.were fearful ..and she seemed worn out...

Maybe thats why she did not retaliate back ..

Maan furrowed his brows shaking his head and shrugged her hands forcefully..causing her to shiver..

"Dont touch me.." he snarled..

Geet lowered her eyes as tears formed in her eyes..

Maan squeezed his eyes..keeping hands on his waist

" dekho yeh rona dhona...mere samne nai...chalega..." he replied pressing his lips tightly...

Geet took in a sharp breath and wiped her tear...She dint wish to portray herself weak again in front of this ruthless man

"Good since u met me here let's go mujhe time bai waste karna aur. .in ur family 's drama"

Geet raises her head in confusion and next moment she felt maan's hand wrapped around her arm. As he dragged her to his jeep..

" yeh aap kya kar rahe hai...leave me..leave me.." she wriggled under his hold and struggled .

Maan clenched his jaws tightening his grip...and drawing her closer...

He looked in her..eyes..those eyes which now weren't fill with tears but with rage...

She continued wriggling under him..with piercing her eyes through his..

maan blinked his eyes..staring down at her..

The woman in front of him who was vulnerable few moments ago now was struggling hard resisting his hold...

" maine kaha leave me...how dare u touch me.." geet replied tightly. Moving violently against him..

Maan smiled slyly and recoiled his hands pushing her back..

" I m not interested in touching you..." he responded gazing her.from top to bottom..

Geet rubbed her arm..staring him in anger..

" yeh ankhe mat dikhao mujhe...tumhe abhi issi waqt mere sath jana hai...chalo.." he once again..tried to clasp her hand..but this time she dogged him

" dont ..." she pointed her finger at him..making him furious

" mujhe aapke sath kahi nai jana samjhe chale jayiye yaha se.." she uttered gritting her teeth

Maan narrowed his eyes and once again captured her arm pulling her to him..

" mujhe tumhari permission nai chayie...tumhare sath honeymoon mana ne nai jaa rsha hu..property legally pane k liye I need ur word in court...isliye u have to come with me to Amritsar ." he replied fiercely ..

Geet hissed and pushed his chest...stepping back..

" mai kahi nai jane wali aapke sath..chale jayeye yaha se.." with one last look she turned to leave..

" agar tum mere sath nai ayi toh mujhe woh zameen nai grant hogi..u have to come..with geet.." maan muttered annoyingly ..and sauntered towards her...in fast pace instantly grabbing her arm..

Geet gasped as she was hauled by maan with her back hitting the ball..

" no one says no to maan singh khurana " he whispered dangerously.

Both their faces where inches apart...they were extremely close ..Maan caged her within his arms and eyes boring into hers..

She wobbled under his weight but strike back towards him..not giving in into his assault...

" mujhe nai jana aapke sath..." she once again replied this time more firmly ...as her eyes held his captive

Maan dint respond but looked in her eyes... His eyes were peeking into hers trying to read something which was concealed deep within...

This girl possessed something in her..which always made him come to her..her charm always framed him..though he never admitted ..

It wasn't attraction to her physique or body..but her eyes..

MAAN SINGH KHURANA in his life had never spare a glance to any girl..But geet Handa always made him go extreme ...

He never regretted his actions with her...

Like at this instance he was More keen to.read her hazels than to convince her to come with him..

Both were gazing each other lost in each other's eyes..

"Geeettt kithe gayi tu" a voice came breaking their trance..

Geet gasped and pushed him with all her might and scurried inside..

Maan frowned and groan recalling his actions... the uneasiness he felt when she slipped away from his hold...

Later than day he got a call from geet...who agreed to cone with him to Amritsar

Maan sighed in relied and asked her to convey the same to her parents...as he knew they were a little too much...and he wasnt in for any nuisance

She assured him in positive and promised to meet him tomorrow early morning near the entrance of the village...

FLASHBACK ENDS

He was startled out of his thoughts with a cham cham sound..

Maan turned his gaze in that direction and found a faint figure approaching him...

He slanted his neck..in order to glimpse the person.." kaun hai " he roared...The climate was foggy thus everything was obscure..and hazy...

The figure tailed towards him slowly...

There she was standing in front of him...clad in white suit..simple yet beautiful ..

Maan blinked his eyes...gazing her.

Her dupatta was draped across her lips...thus revealing her hazels...

In midst of the fog her hazels were shunning ..Her hazels filled with innocence and beauty..

"Ji chale " geet mumbled through the flimsy material ... She was scared within but determined that this time she will find out dev...if not him then atleast the whole scenario. Will be cleared ...She knew dev will never commit anything like this...But her family 's.reaction flabbergasted her...

Maan looked away and nodded..

" sit inside the car..." he whispered igniting the engine..

Geet climbed inside the car...as due to sudden start up due to which she was startled and she fell..in his lap..

Maan held her waist whilst she clasped his collar for support...

The duppatta fell over them...like curtain

The more he decides to avoid this girl..to shove her..the more close she gets...

His heart skipped beat watching so closely ..her white flawless skin brightly shimmering ..eyes fixed with his...and lips trembling ...

Maam was astonished to find this beauty clad in white outfit in his lap... The girl always managed to strike the chords of his stoned heart ... After samira it was easy to neglect and shove every girl.coming his way...but with geet..something or the other kept binding him...

geet was the first to broke the stare...she gulped her saliva...biting her lip and somehow got up clumsily ..

Maan looked away...as she moved to her side..His hands turned into fists commanding his heart and mind to be in control...

" is ladki ka asar mujh par nai ho sakta...maan aapna kar aur nikalo..." he ranted..and started the engine...driving off..

The journey was silent Geet was lost in her thoughts whereas maan concentrated on driving shoving her thoughts...

Both reached the registrar office within 4 hours and made their way inside...

Geet matched her steps with maan following him..Her heart was churning in anticipation.. This truth is a matter of life and death for her...

She paused and closed her eyes praying for dev's innocence ..

Maan frowned as he dint find her besides him...

He spun his head and spotted her standing at a distance with closed eyes..

He rolled his eyes and mumbled " yeh ladki she is too slow " and then yelled " geeett. I dont have all day for u please "

Geet snapped her eyes open. Hearing his squeal..

" ji..aayi " she replied and went towards him..

After 2 hours maan sighed arranging the papers which geet had signed ...the formalities were completed...

" thanks." he said to her..while she just nodded..

Maan perked up his brow..he definitely noticed her anxiety ..she was constantly fidgeting...

" kya hua? " he questioned her..

Geet raised her head " ji..woh...kya mai...unse akele mai kuch baate kkar sakti hu..aapka kaam hogaya toh aap..bahar..." she trailed off..

Maan was unsure what to say...He just murmured yes and left..the cabin...

Maan thought to wait for her...

Nearly half and hour later she came back..

maan raised himself ...as she walked outside cabin with tears spilling ..

" ise kya hua "

Geet gasped covering her mouth ..and squeezed her eyes...

The registrar confirmed that dev and sold her property to maan...

All her dreams were shattered ... The sound of her dreams hope breaking down into pieces made no noise. Yet the uproars left her ruined ..

How could destiny be so cruel to her..what was her fault?? She followed everything that was taught to her...she married the guy her family wanted..but fortune shadowed not only her present but her future too..their future...

She clutched her stomach...where another new life was beginning to form..Each and every sentence spoken by darji and brij were floating in her mind...

Dev indeed despised her and ran away with her money...

She lifelessly walked outside the office...turning deaf to maan's voice.. She monotonously walked outside...towards the deserted road...

Maan scurried behind a lifeless geet.. he himself dint knw y was he so worried about her.. But he kept his feelings aside she appeared as if someone had sucked all the blood from her face...

" geeet" maan yelled out and grabbed her hand ...pulling her..to himself...

They were now standing in the middle of road...

Maan drew her closer infuriated with her act..

" are crazy couldn't u see the truck " he uttered in frustration. Holding her shoulders..

More tears spilled out of her hazels..her chin trembled as another gush of tears flowed down her cheek..

" geeet " maan called out again shaking her...

Thats it she broke down..crying bitterly...

maan was stunned watching her cry so hysterically..He cupped her face..

" geet ..kya hua.." he sounded angry as well as worried...

Geet dint answer but wept...loudly..crushing his shirt...

She fell on her knees..and maan went down with her..

" geeet sstop it...stop it geet " this time he blocked out his emotions and faced her firmly..she quieten

He gripped her shoulder..raising her face

" mai nahi puchunga ki yeh asu kis k liye ..but mai itna zarrur kahunga ki yeh asuo se tumhe kuch nai milega.."

She sighed tearfully and shrugged his hands...continuing crying

Maan groaned and clasped her shoulder...He smirked when she gaped him with eyes blazing

" mai toh bhul gaya tum toh kamzoor ho aur kamzoor hi.asuo ko apna hatyaar maante hai..phir tumhe kuch bhi samjha kar kya faida "

He stared...her in pure anger...and stood to his feet..

" aapko kya pata humare sath kya hua..aapkp koi haq nai hi humare ansuo k bare mai bolne ka " she whimpered

Maan paused in his tracks with small smile on his face

He slanted his neck

" mujhe nai pata aur na hi mai jaan na chahata hu...lekin ansu insan. Ko kamzoor banata hai...kapish bhi musqil itni badi nai hoti ki uska solution na mile...aur na hi uska matlab yeh hota ki ansuo se Kaam chalaye... Musqil ka samna kar ke ki use khatam kiya. Jaa sakta hai " with that he turned his face

" mai gaadi mai wait kar raha hu.

Tumhara Rona ho.jaye toh aa jana "

Geet sat there moaning over her pain...crying her eyes out..

She was numb..her life had taken ssuch a turn which cant be healed..

She cringed herself closer hugging her body...

There maan was waiting for her in his jeep when he received call from munsiji ..

He informed maan that geet was missing and here her whole family was hunting her...

This perplexed maan...he had clearly mentioned her to state their visit to her family..

He tighten his jaws and marched towards geet..

She was still weeping.. reckless about her surrounding..

Maan pressed his lips in to a thin line..and reached her arm pulling her up..

" what do u think of urself.." he gritted exasperated with her stupidity

She narrowed her brows...trying to lurch away from him..

" dont geet dint I say apni so call.family ko bata kar ana...b woh tumhe kyu dhund rahe hai..ur brij verji is going mad hunting u in whole hp " he spat

Geet froze hearing his words

Thus means raji couldn't handle brij ...she was very much.worried for her now... she knew brij and darji would go to any extend to dig out the truth from.raji..

" are u even listening to.me.." maan scowled once again when she dint respond to him..

Geet raises her eyes to.him..and blurted

" ji..kya mai aapka..phome use kar sakti hu.." she stammered ..

Maan squeezed his eyes taking in a shrap breath..and handed his cell to her

She immediately dialed a number and prayed raji to pick..

To her luck raji picked up...she knew geet will.call her..

" di..." raji whimpered

" raji ...tu Thik to hai na..brij..verji..."

" brij verji ko pata chal gaya ki tum yaha nai ho..di...tum wapas mat ana...di...woh tumhe " she weeped

" raji..." geet gasped hearing her cry..something was wrong

" betaaa " her papaji snatched the phone

" papaji " She furrowed her brow hearing her papaji's voice...

" beta wapas nai ana..tum..yaha.sab tumhare jaan k dushman ban gaye hai..jab se unhe oata chala ki tum.maa bam ne wali ho...brij toh tumhe...beta mujhe maaf kar dena tumhara baap itna kamzoor hai..kind..woh tumhe darji aur brij se nai bacha sakta...maaf kar dena..mujhe"

Geet closed her eyes in pain...Two days back she was revealed to the fact that she was pregnant ..the ladies of her house though dint say to the mens..of the house ...Her papaji was aware of this...

Her hand protectively wrapped her stomach ...shaking her head she replied..

" nai..papaji Mera bbacha nai.." she murmured determined ..

" di..tum wapas mat ana..inhone raji.di ko bhi bohot mara...aur gurvinder jiju bhi ab nai rahe.." tito said..

Geet sniffed hearing this...gurvinder was no more...brij verji had killed him.too

She fell on the ground..with a thud..

Maan instantly sprang besides her...he looked at her..and found her crying once again..this tine more bitterly..

He took.the phone from her hand..which was still connected

He held the cell and places it to his ear..

" geet beta wapas mat ana is narak mai..brij aur darji tujhe nai chodenge..chali jaa beta yaha se chali jaa " his eyes widened..in shock...

His eyes turned to geet ..and he cut the call

" geet" he called her..after a while overcoming the shock..

She.sniffed not answering him..

" geet..stop it " he finally uttered furiously

He clasped her shoulders making her face him " aise rone se kuch nai hoga..geet tumhe apne aap k liye kuch karna hai toh khud hi karana hoga.. apne Zindagi ki faisle karne ka haq kisi aur ko mat do.."

she stared...up in his eyes..

" jin logo k liye tum zaruuri nahi ho..unlogo k liye apne aap ko takleef dena bewakoofi hogi.."

Each word he uttered was true...she had given her whole life to her family the right to take decision for her...thats the reason today she is in this stage of life..

she dropped her eyes close ...in response..

" geeettt " maan screamed as he.. Glimpsed the red coloured blood flowing through her arm..

His eyes widened and he held her..closer in reflex..

" geet geet " he patted her cheek...but she dint open her eyes...

He scanned his surroundings and found..brij and his men..coming towards them..

He examined her wound. Thankfully the bullet had just passed through it dint hit her...

He held...her .body in.his arms...and ran to his jeep..

" Oyeee ruk jaa geet ko yehi chod ne humara tere se koi lena nai.hai..chod de usse " brij growled. Loudly from his jeep following maan..

Maan...kept mum.and drove as fast as he could...He glanced at geet who.was turning pale..

" oye teri to...tujhe abhi bata ta hu.." brij and his men barrelled him.with bullets...

Maan dodged the bullets but he took a rasp turn causing the jeep stumble and geet nearly fell down

"ggeeet" maan screeched and held her hand..on time..but in the process the jeep got clashed to the tree

Maan climbed down..scooped geet in his arms and ran...

He knew the guys were insane but at this time geet needed medical attention...

But before he could run..brij and his mens circled them..

" tujh se kaha tha na..meri behn ko chod de..." brij spat clasping maan's.collar..

" utar isse...chup chap " he ordered ..

Maan placed her on the ground..her wound was bleeding a lot..

" isse goli chu kar gayi.hai..hospital lekar jana hoga " he stated getting up..

Brik smirked..." dekho ..toh jise marna chahate hai usse hi doctor k pass leke jane bol raha hai..yeh..".. everyone laughed at maan..

Brij gestured his men.to check geet..and confirm ..

He obeyed .. " bhai ji zinda hai yeh geet. "

Brij roared in anger.. " aaj toh tujhe zinda nai chodunga mai geet " he vowed. And moved in her direction ..

Two.goons came by maan's side and held him..

" aaj toh tujhe koi nai bacha sakta geet..." brij whispered...and pressed the nosle of rifle on her stomach..

Before he could press the triggger...he was shove by maan..who had topped the two goons prior to brij

He gripped the rifle and threw it away..and thereafter punched brij across his jaw

All the goons attacked him..but maan.was smarter..he already captured brij 's.neck.in.his hands...making them.halt...

He removed a small.sharp knife from his back pocket and positioned it across brij..

" sare hathyar waha neeche khaye mai phenk do..chalo.." maan pressed the knife to his neck tighter..

Brij nodded his head...and his.men followed his command..

Once they threw their guns..he Pierced brij 's neck.making it bleed...

" ah.." brij yelled in pain..when maan pushed.him on the floor..making sure the cut was deep...enough to leave them scared..

He then scooped geet..and in his arms carefully and ran away..leaving behind a injured brij with his mens to handle him..

Next morning

Geet woke up feeling lethargic and dizzy..

She opened her eyes slowly..and frowned scanning her surroundings..

"Hmmm" she hissed slightly..carefully raising her injured arm..

" mai yaha .." she once again scanned the room and found maan sleeping on the couch.. he had brusies over his arm...and forehead ..

Thats when yesterday 's incident came back in her mind..

She cringed in disgust recalling the cowardly act of her brother ..

It can be only him..who can pursue something so henious like this..

Tears gathered in her eyes..but she wiped them..recalling maan's words..

She wouldnt let anyone control her life...

She got down from her bed..limping and moved towards the exit..

" rukoo " a voice called out..automatically pausing her steps..

She blinked her eyes...and halted..

Maan got alert with the sounds..of bangles...He instantly got his feet and stopped geet

" tum kaha jaa rai ho..." he questioned her in confusion ..

Did she really wanted to go to her family..the same family who wished her dead??

" mere adhoore kaam ko pura karne.." she replied calmly

Maan gnashed his teeth..and uttered " tum sach mai un logo k paas wapas jaana chahati ho..jinho ne tumhe..." he trailed off

Geet slowly spun to.. face him..

" mai.unke pass nai nai jaa rai.hu..kabhi nahi jaa skati " she said firmly looking. Direct in his eyes.. Her eyes were pitch black as she said these words...

" phir? " he asked curiously

" mujhe kuch kaam pure karne hai ...kya aap mujhe waha chod sakte hai..?" She whispered looking him pensively ..

Next maan knew he was driving geet to hp police station..

Surprise wasnt the word to be use he was stunned...hearing this from her..He knew she was a naive girl ..a soft hearted person..but his decision of hers made him baffled ..Proved that she is strong enough ..to punish brij..

For geet brij wasnt just her culprit ..he even killed channi gurvinder and their unborn baby... and today he tried to kill her baby too.. she would have forgiven him.as a sister but as a mother she cant...and she couldn't do injustice to channi..her only frnd..

She wiped the tear from the corner of her eyes...

She had decided ...for once she wont loook back..this was her decision to leave this city her family who was ready to kill her in the name.of traditions and society ..

She desired to live her life independently and freely..If dev abandoned her..it was her fate..but she wont let this affect her daughter ...

Now she is mother..she just can't sit and cry over her past..she needs to move on..but before that she had to do this last bit of thing..in order to leave this city peacefully without any burden ..

A screech sound of across bought geet out of her thoughts ..

Geet got down so did maan..

" aap...ji..woh thank u...aapne meri inti Madat ki..uske liye thank u.." she was really grateful to this ruthless man.. He was the one who inculcated these thoughts in her mind... Though she wished to leave this city without his push ut wouldn't have been possible...

Maan...simply nodded..and stepped ahead but stopped hearing geet's next set of words

" aapko hmare sath andar ane ki zarrurt nai hai..mai yaha khud dekh sakti hu..."

He turned towards her and looked her perplexed..

" lekin..."

" maine kaha na..mai dekh lungi..aapne yaha tak mere sath diya Yaaha liye shukriya..."

Maan couldnt sense whether it was pride or shock which he felt at this moment...the Handa girl was definitely one of a kind...

" are u sure..?"

Though he was positive to accompany her in police station he dint wanted to force her..it was her personal matter...

"Ji " she nodded..tucking her fair behind ..

Maan fisted his hands.. on either sides..staring down at her head which was lowered...

With no.words to speak..he thumped inside the jeep...and gave geet once final glance..hoping to glimpse her face..

As if she heard his restlessness..she peeked up and smiled at him..

A smile automatically formed on his lips..which was hardly visible..

" always be the same feet I knw u have the capacity to overcome all the hurdles in ur life..." he whispered to himself..and drove off..

Geet smiled waving bye to.maan and free he left..she entered the police station. She lodge complaint against brij and his mens..

After she was done..she went to the temple and offered her prayers...for the last time and headed to the bus depot..

Maan came home freshen up..and returned back to the police station.. He just couldn't sit at home...

He enquired about geet and they said she lodge a complaint and they have arrested brij and his mens ...and thereafter she left..

he sighed heavily when he couldn't find her anywhere in the city ..his brain was asking him.to visit the...haveli once but his heart knew she will never go back there...

Contemplating deeply he decided to leave the city as his work was done..

While driving the moments he spent with her in the car were floating in his.mind.. " stop.it maan its okay..dont think about her.." he chided himself..

Here geet was gazing outside the window of her bus which was heading towards delhi..Thinking of maan. .

Both smiling slightly remembering their moments and looking forward for the new start in their life..But both were unaware.of what their destiny had planned for them...
