Part-20
He again looked at his watch & leaned back to car in wait of her.Brij sudden voice broke chain of his thoughts:yahan kya kr rhe ho?
The bitter voice,mocking tone,Blind anger. .no doubt His own Blood!The person standing infront of him his ever favourite oponent but how one truth had changed whole equation.He loves to play but wid rule.A rule of being Equal..wid power,wid knowledge.Which was truly not happening here.He was da one who was aware of their truth.So Avoiding any kind of conversion wid him he gave simple answer:Geet ko lene aaya hun.
Brij snapped:tum smjhte ky ho apne aap ko?last time men kuch nhe kr ska par is bar men Geet ko tumhare sath nhe jane dunga.
Maan reminded him:wo meri wife hai.
Brij let out a sacrastic laugh:kya baat hai,bde rishte nibhane aa gaey Khurannas ko?khud k parents divorced..jis men mom ko buisness se fursat nhi aur mahan baap jo apne budhe parents ko he chod k. .
Maan roared:shutup. .Agr ek lafz bhi aur kaha.
Brij folded his arms across his chest:to kya?
Maan words stopped in his mouth noticing Geet coming out.His fingers clentched in fist.:meri majbori ko meri kamzori mt smjho.
Giving him a warnful look he sat inside the car.Surprise was clearly visible on Geet beautiful face to saw his bro early return from joging.Geet stamered:jb maa aur DJ pooja se farigh ho jaeyn to unhe bta dena men chli gai.
Brij snapped:tum buht pachtaogi Geet.
Annoyed on his words she sat in car widout saying any bye to her loving bro.Brij helpless watched as dy drove away.
Geet again stole glance of him.His silence,his clentchd jaw,his frowned brows were proof of his volcanic anger.She worriedly asked:kya hua?
Her heart beat wid each passing moment of his silence:bhai ne kuch kaha?
He interrupted:itni deyr kyun ki?
Geet hesitatly:wo raat men sb buht deyr tk jaag rhe tha. .kisi ne jgaya bhi nhi.tumhari call par hi jagi thi.
The look he gave her she instantly added:schi. . mene nashta bhi nhe kya,men to kisi ko Good Morning bhi bol kr nhi aai.Aur mujhe pta thodi tha tum itni jaldi jaag jao ge.Roz to tum itna late uth te ho.
Maan:to tb to tum mere sath hoti hai.naa to tumhare bger raat ko jaga gya naa hi subha soya gya.
It took more dn a moment for her to realize meaning of love words because of his sadu tone.Her lips stretched in a big heartly smile because of which his eyes glint.But he continued in his monster style:aur mene bhi breakfast nhe kya.bolo tumhari fav.jga kahan hai?whi chlte hen.
Forgetting all da worries she excitedly:mottu ka Dhaba.
Maan made face:what?
Geet happily:mere high school k samne hai.Ab men tumhe apna school,college,gym sb kuch dikhaungi.
Maan soon sense da trobule he had put himself in.For distracting her adventourus wife he tried to divert her mind:umm. .aesa krte hen ghar chlte hen.abhi to itna time hai phr kbhi. .
Geet snapped:No. .shadi ki tyari krni hai phir bilkul time nhe mile ga.Jahan men kahungi wahi chlenge. .dts it!

In evening,
Meera served tea to Purvi-da wedding planner:Geet raste men hai bs aati he hogi.
Purvi enjoyed long sip of tea in traditional way:koi gal nhe ji.mujhe bhi kisi ka intezar hai.
To Meera confuse gaze she explained:mera asistant gya hai chuti par.usko urgent kam tha par men Geet ji ko na bhi nhe bol skti.to wo apne bhanje ko bhej rha hai hai.mene yahe ka adres de dya take sath beth kr baat kr len aur waqt bhe zaya na ho.
Meera smiled:ok. .if u dnt mind men andr tailor ko baki ki measurmnt de aaun?
Purvi:haan ji haan ji. .be fikr ho kr jao,koi gal nhe.
Meera went.As da door bell rang Purvi went to open the door,not wanted to disturb Meera because of her asistant.She opened da door & Both of them lost in another world.*
Meera voice brust da bubble:kon hai?
Purvi loudly:mera asistant hai ji.
SALEEL confused "bina apply k job mil jati hai,kya country hai?"
Purvi frowned:itni deyr kyun lgai aane men?
Saleel dreamily:mujhe pta hi nhi tha aap intezar kr rhi hen?
Purvi rolled her eyes & ask him to follow her inside.Taunting on his stylish dressing:ye tumhari nhe client ki shadi hai.Chlo ye paper uthao aur likho. .
They came out of car Geet was laughing:mere principal ki shkal dekhne wali thi.buht mza aaya.
Maan thoughtfully:tumhe yahan acha lgta hai?
Geet:buht
Maan:London se b zyada?
Geet:ofcourse. .ye mera home town hai.sari yaden hen yahan.koi rasta ajnbee nhi.Apna country,apne log,itne sare friends hen yahan.
His reply shock her:to phir hum yahan shift ho jaeyn?
Geet in disbelief:what?
Maan:itna khush mene tumhe wahan kbhi nhi dekha.i know tumhara wahan dil nhi lagta to phir wahan rehne ka fayda.
Geet reminded him:tum hmesha se whi rehte ho?yahan ki aadt nhe hai tumhe.
Maan:tumhe bhi to wahan ki aadt nhe hai.
Geet:tumhari dad ki yaden hain wahan.
Maan :to tumhari bhi to family hai yahan.
Geet in serious tone :tum sch men mere lye london chod skte ho?
Her big innocent eyes!Cupping her face he simply answered:kyun ek dil k lye dunya sirf tumhi dey skti ho?
tumhari khushi mere lye sb se pehle hai.
Her heart danced in rhythm of love which intensity was cleared in her eyes.Her smile was reflecting her precious happiness.Wrapping arm around him she replied:meri dunya wahin jahan mera dil hai. .So No need of any proof.men wahan bhi khush hun agr tum mere sath ho.
Before he finished da difference btwn them she pulled away by giving him a reminding look of wherer dy were standing.They walked inside the house wid a silly grin on their face.
Geet gasped in surprise:Saleel?
Purvi & Saleel stood up as Maan,Geet approach them.Geet happily:to tum ne sch men apna promise nibhaya.
Noticing shocking Purvi Geet shook her hand wid her:hi,sorry for late.
Purvi still in an other world asked Saleel:tum mere asistant beetto nhi ho?
Saleel shyly:agr aap ko ye naam pasand hai to ye hi rkh len!
Geet look them confused while Maan very well aware of his "dil-phenkh" friend interruptd:ye mera friend hai.Aaj hi London se aaya hai shadi attend krne.
Geet sensing da anger on Purvi face,slowly:i think koi misunderstndng hogai. .bethen baat krte hen.
Purvi:pehle mene pta krna hai apne asistant ka.men kal phone kr dungi.abhi men chalti hun.
Geet noded while she walked to door while Saleel followed her:listen.
He raised his hand,in dreamy way:bye!See u again.
Giving him a death glare she turned which made her hairs hit his face.She left while Saleel dreamily:haey!
~*~
Saleel came:kis ka phone tha?
Maan kept newspaper down:Vikram kaa. .last year k final accounts ki file pouch rha tha.
Saleel:uski kya zrurat.
After a pause he add:mujhe is Vikram par bilkul bhrosa nhe hai.Sb kuch us par chod k aana bilkul thek nhi lag rha.
Maan:thek to mujhe bhi nhe lag rha par. .Mom he wahan unke hote hue wo kya kr lega?Wese mom ne tumhe kuch kaha mere bare men?
Saleel:strangely. .Kuch bhi nhi.mere aane par bhi wo chup thi.Par Dont worry sb theek ho jaey ga.
Geet & Meera interrupted their discussion:chlo chlo jaldi utho. .Shopping par chlna hai.
Maan & Saleel luked eachother in horror.Maan:nhe hum nahi aa paeynge,hme kaam hai.
Geet:yahan konsa kaam.
Maan:bs hai kuch important visit..Then he finally told her:phir men Shimla ja rha hun.kuch kaam hai.
Geet angrily:No way. .hum yahan kaam to krne nhi aaey.
Maan:listen. .
She walked away in anger while he quickly followed her.Saleel & Meera hardly control their laugh witnessing Mr.Vs Mrs.Khuranna.
Geet luked away from:mujhe tumse koi baat nhe krni,tum hmesha aese krte ho.
Maan made her turn softly:Geet zruri kaam hai.state agent ki call aai hai..Land purchase krni hai project k lye.tum ne hi kaha tha na mere khwab tumhare khwab.
Geet luked him in surprise:wo project to tum Delhi men start krna chahte the jo dadu k pass. .
Holding her hand he interrupted:haqeqat sapne nhi hoti. .unse bhi kahen zyada khubsurt hoti hai.ye tum ne mujhe sikhaya hai.
Geet heart lept in shine of his eyes.Maan:2,3 men aa jaunga.phr shadi k functions men time nhi mile ga.But i promise wapis London ja kr hum phir ek mini honeymoon par jaeynge or tumhari "ladu" bhi khelenge.
Her smile became wide in blushing & she snapped back:its luddo. .aur ab men kbhi tumhare sath ye game nhe khelungi.
Maan wid a promising glint in his eyes:no problem..is se zyada interesting game k ideas hain mere pass.
Saleel cough pulled them back to earth.Pulling her hand away she embarassed walk to them:thek hai jao.par kal aaj mere sath kam khtm kr k shopping par join kro ge.Aur akele jao kyunke Saleel mere sath aa rha hai.
Maan gave glare to Saleel:no,Saleel mere sath aaeyga.
Before Saleel spoke Geet gave him info:wahan Purvi bhi hai,mene use mall men hi bulaya hai.
Saleel immediately nodded while Maan rolled his eyes.
~*~
Finally Geet manged to convencd hot headed Purvi to let Saleel assist her in dis wedding.As Purvi was busy in bargaining of decorating curtains & Saleel busy in staring Geet pulled out Meera out of da shop.Geet giggled:Puri bhi Saleel ko pasand krti hai,dekhna jald hi friendship ho jaeygi.
Meera laughed:tumhare hote hue koi single ho skta hai?
Geet became silent for a moment than spoke:i am realy sorry Meera.
Meera luked her in surprise.Geet continued:meri wja se tumhare aur bhai k beech jo bhi hua.
Meera assured her:plx aese mt kaho Geet.mujhe tumse ya Brij se koi shikayt nhe hai.wo tumse buht pyar krta hai,tumhara bhai hai. .aur chodo purani baato ko.Ab sb kuch kitna acha hogya hai.sb kitna khush hen.Maan kitna bdl gya hai.he realy loves u alot.
Geet eyes caught male attires shop.Excusing Meera who was busy in matching bangles she went to it.With a mischivious smile she luked through da sherwanis for her Hottie.Finally she chose a black one wid silver classic work on it.She hurried to counter & in excitement bumped into someone.Geet:i am sor. .
Her words stopped in mouth recognizing da unforgetbl man of her life.Dev luked da girl changd into a gorgeous woman amazed.Her soft curls had grew,da hint of sindoor doing magic wid her creamy skin,her swan like neck looking more adorble wid black beads of mangalsutr:mujhe to pta hi nhi tha tum India aa gai?Noticing da stuff in her hand he spoke:Brij ki shadi ho rhi hai.
To his surprise she started to walk away abruptly.He followed her to counter:tumhara gussa jaeyz hai Geet. .meri ek galti ki wja se sb kuch bigr gya.tumhe andaza bhi nhi hai mujhe kitna pchtava hai.
She walked out of shop & he too followed her:mera yakeen kro mujhe nhi pta tha baat itni bdh jaey gi. . Maan tumse shadi kre ga.tumhare bbre men sochta hun to meri raaton ki neend udh jati hai.
Than something strike her:mujhe tumhe buht zruri baat btani hai.tum logo ko pura sch nhe pta. .jo kuch bhi hua.
She turned to face him,mockingly:sch?ye sch k tum apne bestfriend ki behn k sath engage hote hue usiki cousin sister k sath..
Dev wid guilt:it was just a silly affair.
Geet reminded him:jiski wja se wo pregnent hai aur ab tumhari biwi hai.Tum galat the phir bhi sb k samne mujh par jhota ilzam lgaya.
Dev interrupted:ye pura sch nhi hai.
Geet snapped:mere lye yehi sch buht hai.
She walked away while he remin steadfast:ye sch buht nhe hai.You have to listen.jis ne kya hai wo bhi bhugte ga men akela nhi.
~*~
Geet thoughts broke by her ringing cell.After constant ringing she stretched her arm to finally pick it.Maan:so rhi thi?
Geet:hunm. .
Maan smiled & sat on his hotel bed:mere sath reh kr ab tk jhoot bhi bolna nhi sikha?
Geet remain quite.Maan:kaam sch men zruri hai islye. .
Geet softly:men tumse naraz nhi hun.
Maan:to phir dinner kyun nhi kya?
Geet:tumhe kese pta?
Maan:bs pta chl gya,kuch hai jo tum mujhse chupa ski ho?
Geet:aese hi mann nhi tha.
Maan:relax. .wo ghbra gya tha.majboori men jhoot bola usne.Its not a big issue.
She sat up,her eyes wided in shock.Maan continued:tum kaho to men yahan se dusra bridal dress le aata hun,yahan bhi branch hai us boutique ki.
Geet:kya?
Maan:Meera ne btaya mujhe. .tailor ne problem krdi na?Islye mood khrab hai naa.is men itna gussa krne ki kya baat hai?itni si baat.
Geet snapped:jhoot bolna kbhi itni si baat nhi hoti.Dhoka dene ka mtlb hota hai samne wale k wajood ko hi kuchul dena.kisi k vishvas k sath khel kr jb koi kisi bewakuf bnata hai to wo uske dil,dimag aur roh sb par ek sath hamla krta hai.jo galt hai wo galt hai aur wo hmesha galt rhe ga.i cant forgive. .I ll never.
He became frozed,her words create terror around him.Intensity of hatness in her tone made him shiver.Geet silently wiped her tears,a tears on her past,on her stupidity,on being use because of Dev.They remain silent for minutes.Restless she hugged his pillow.His scent like a secured paradise to her.She helplessly mumrd:i love u Maan.
"kyun" his reply in thick emotional voice made her surprise.He slowly:glat to men bhi tumhare sath buht kya hai. .You ll never forgive me..
Oh how much she wanted to kiss dt innocent face wid all her love.She regretd to dipress him when he was far away from her to work.Changing da atmosphere she joked:ye to hai. .par meri yaadasht buht kamzor hai na?men jaldi bhool jati hun.
"aur agr mujhe bhool gai?"
After a pause she answered:kya koi saans lena bhool skta hai?
So distant,so far but strangely they felt strong warmth of eachother whole night.
Precap: Kumud: Brij mere pass kuch hai jo tumhare buht kaam.aaeyga
