Oh ho... Such positive response.. I didn't expected that.. But anyway happy, with it.. I knew, one thing for sure.. You all just want Maaneet together.. For that, if I Kill Maan, or make him a real Devil or anything else, you don't care... End result should be Maan+Geet=Maaneet.. Very Good.. Lage raho..
Here I'm friends, back with yet another update of Beyond Death... Don't know, what I'm going to write in this one... My head is in mess, just like my life, at the current moment... Don't know what all is going on, all around me.. So bear me, if I make you suffer at this one...
I don't wanna talk much, so hence, let's get to business..
****************************************************
Chapter: 6
Khurana Mansion, Bangalore...
Dadima is in crying mess.. It has been 2 weeks to Maan's death, and at every other second, tear streamed out of her eyes.. Every other thing around her, reminds her of her once happy family... But now.. Now, the key to their every happiness is lost... Nikhil, or any of his gang members are yet not caught, therefore danger is still lurking at door..
Vicky.. He has completely lost himself.. He haven't uttered a word since Maan's last rituals.. For him, his Bhai, was his world, and now without him, his own existence seems Nul.. All the time, he just silently wished, that somehow... Somehow, his Bhai, would come out of his room, giving those stern look of his, or would remind him, about the importance of time, or would help him in his college projects... Please Bhai.. Please comeback.. All this things seems so incomplete without you.. Or just, take me with you, so that we could be together again.. I need you Bhai.. I need you so bad..', his heart would call out to him, without getting any response..
Mehra Uncle, is guilt ridden.. He somewhere held himself responsible, for Maan's demise.. He told Police about his last talk with Maan.. And he wished, that somehow, he could have saved him.. But now, he has to save Maan's family.. And he would leave no stones unturned, to get hold on the culprits..
Un: "Maaji, there's still danger, behind you both.. I need to make sure, that no harm shall reach you.. We need to fly to Australia.. I've taken care of everything.. Adi will handle everything here, and you have to take KC under your wings.. You need to manage KC.. Maan's dream, and his struggle would go in vain, if you don't take the command now. I'll shift the main branch of KC, in Australia, so that, it would be easy for you.. Vicky can study from there."
Lost in her own grief, Savitri Devi, overlooked this fact, till now.. But KC's falling stakes, and their scared shareholders, need to be handled soon. So, this was the only way, now.. After her, it would be, Vicky now, but the guy is very much lost in himself, to handle such critical issues...
Just then Vicky's voice boomed in the hall...
Vi: "We're not going anywhere... This Mansion is OURS, and My brother's memories resides here... I won't go anywhere from here... I'm not scared of those two faced ugly snakes.. Let them come. I'll deal with them, in my own way.. I'm VICKY SINGH KHURANA, brother of MAAN SINGH KHURANA.. We have same blood in our veins, and I've same power in my nerves.. I'll show them what it is to mess with a KHURANA. EACH one of them, are going pay, for snatching my brother away.", saying this he went back to his room, like a raging lion walks back to his Den, in attitude, and suppressed anger.
His every words were so menancing, that the people present there couldn't help but cringe in response.. The carefree, full of life Vicky is gone, only to leave behind, MAAN SINGH KHURANA's brother... And he's in no mood of nonsense.. He's going to punish the culprits, in his own way, taking his own sweet revenge, from them..
Somewhere in Bangalore,
Maan or we say Maan's Ghost/Soul, is lost somewhere in the busy roads of Bangalore. In this one week, he has seen such facets of life, which he haven't seen, while he was alive.. He doesn't know, why he's still roaming on earth, when he was supposed to be deported to Heaven or maybe Hell.. Did the collector of souls, missed to pick him, or they haven't got information about his successful demise.. He sometimes would look up towards the wide sky, and would search for some falling lights on earth, which they usually say, is the way to the other world.. His world, supposedly.. But nah, he would found no such lighted paths..
Today too, Maan was sitting infront of a school, from where, the students were about to be coming out, after their dismissal. Some parents were standing there waiting for their children, and few women, were busy gossiping.. Suddenly, something grabbed Maan's attention, and a blurry image of a Fakir baba flashed infront of his eyes.. Few words rung in his ears...
"See me nicely, and keep my face intact in your memory. U would soon need me. And at that time, I could help you, if you somehow remember me.."
Maan understood what he need to do.. He need to find that fakir.. For that he need to go to that Dargah again...
After few hours...
Maan reached the Dargah, and was continuously searching for that fakir. He lastly goes towards the backside of the Dargah, and there he is.. Sitting under a tree, with closed eyes, lost in some other world..
As soon as he goes near the fakir. Before Maan could utter a word, he spoke up, "I was waiting for you.. You took so long to come. I thought you would be here much sooner." Finally opening his eyes to look at him. Maan is already going through so much, that all this things doesn't surprise him anymore..
Ma: "Sorry, was busy, in a lunch date.", he said sarcastically.. Whereas the fakir only chuckled at his words, shaking his head. He raised his both hands in air, looking towards the sky, and said, "Bam Bam Bhole.."
Ma: "You told me, you could help me.. Then give me my life back. You can make me alive?!?", he asked desperately.
Fa: "I'm no God. I'm not the provider of life, I can't. I'm just his follower. I help the needy. I can show you the correct path, but can't take you to your Destination.. Your destiny, will send someone else.."
Ma: "Huh.. Destiny!!! That ended with my life.."
Fa: "No, bachche.. You're wrong here.. Destiny of a person never ends. It continues, with your birth, then death, your afterdeath, and even your next birth too.. Never and absolutely never anything happens in your life, which isn't planned by your destiny.. Now, you're meeting me, that's written in your destiny too.."
Ma: "So, you're going to show me the correct path?!?! I need to reach the destination, on my own.. Just, whom will, my so called DESTINY, will send?!?!"
Fa: "God always helps his child in one way or other.. Otherwise, sometimes sends his people to help them. There's definitely someone who would help you.. I'm just a medium, who'll take you to that path, your guide for the rest of the journey would help you out.."
He momenteraly closes his eyes, and tells Maan to hold his hand. Maan did as told, but he was still busy in searching the meaning of his words..
Ma: "Who will help me!?!? How will I find that person?!?"
Fa: "You don't need to go for search.. That person will reach you... You just need to stay here, and wait for your destiny to help you out.."
Ma: "What?!?! What do you mean destiny will help you?!?! Will there be any thunder strike on my head, as soon as I spot that person?!!?", he asked getting irritated with him, and his Destiny jaap.
Fa: "No.. You just wait.. The first person, who would see you for the 1st time, would be the one to help you.. Only that single person can take you to your final destination. To that God.."
Ma: "But in that way... You would be the first person to..", but his words remained stuck in his throat, as he felt a car crossing through him... No wait, through THEM.. That means.. The Fakir Baba... He wasn't alive, too. Just like him. He looks at his side to search for him... But, he's nowhere to be seen..
Maan stood there at the middle of the road, at a place unknown. He never knew when he reached here, and how?!?
After looking here and there for a little more time, he founds himself, infront of the greatest memorial of LOVE... He found himself, infront of THE TAJ MAHAL... He's at AGRA.
Ma: "What The Hell!! Am I here in the search of my helper, or My lost love.. Didn't he got any other place?!?! Like Parliament House?!?! Or I could have adjusted with Qutub Minar.." he said to himself, before taking his first step towards the Monument..
*************************************************
Taj Mahal, Agra..
After few days..At night..
Maan was sitting on a marbled bench, in the royal garden of Taj Mahal. He was looking ahead at the beautiful sight infront of him. Moonlight cascading on the white marbel of the Monument, is a sight to watch.. It could provide immense peace, and solace to anyone looking at it..
But at the current moment, Maan is having anything but peace.. A Loud chatterbox is sitting beside him, and giving him, free review of his whole life... He was dead too, whereas another guy, who was sitting on the other side, is silent, till now..
When he entered the Monument, he found these guys here, who were just like him, DEAD.. But not in anyone's wait, like Him.. The chatterbox, is Bantu, and the silent one is Mrinal..
Ba: "So, what I'm saying, is girls are waste of time.. Means, just waste of time, you get it?!?!", saying this he looked at both of them. Only after they both nods their heads in yes, he continued his chatter..
Bantu, was a regular guy, who use to work for a criminal gang. But, nah.. He didn't died in any gang war, but it was a suicide case.. Before you ask more, he's narrating the whole story again..
Ba: "That.. That Hema.. I drank poison, here... Here infront of this Taj Mahal..", he said pointing at it, "Just to prove my love, for her.. And what did she do?!?! Came at my funeral, dropped few tears, and married another in two months.. If not for her, I would have become a big Don, till now... But all waste.. I thought her to be Basanti, and she turned out to be Dhanno?!?!", he said all dramatically.[P.S. Basanti's character in Sholay was played by Hema Malini, and Dhanno was her Horse's name. Hope you got the logic.]
Maan and Mrinal, nodded their head again helplessly. Till now, Bantu's whole life history was mugged up by Maan. He desperately wants him to shut up, and he did shouted at him once. But he never knew, he was such a cry baby, who would start crying the moment you raise your voice a little.. From that time, Maan is quite and bearing his torture..
Ba: "3 years.. 3 years since I died. I saw such great ITAMS here, everyday.. [P.S. ITAMS are referred to hot and sexy girls in Tapori language. Girls for sure, but hot and sexy, not sure..] I could have gotten married to anyone of them.. But.. But that Hema.. I drank poison for her.. Here.. Here at this place..."
Here it goes again.. Oh God, please send my helper soon, or I'm going to die again', Maan thought in his head..
Mrinal pats his back lightly, and said to him softly, "Don't worry, you'll get habituated soon.."
Maan looks at him, for sometime, and asked, "What's your story?!?", that caught Bantu's attention. He turned towards him and said, "Arey same with him... Suicide Case.."
Maan looked at him, bewildered. He doesn't seems like a person, who would chose Death over Life. He asked, very shocked, "What?!?! A girl?!?"
Bantu squeezes his nose and said, "Nah... INDIAN GOVERNMENT.."
Maan looks at him confused, "Huh?!?!"
Mrinal spoke up, this time, "2 years back.. Stock Market Crash... I lost my everything, in it.. My friends lost everything, due to my foolishness.. I couldn't take the guilt, and I killed myself, in my own Apartment.. I met Bantu, here, when I came with a tourist group.. And I stayed back, at this place.. This place has something in it, which didn't let me leave.. Maybe Destiny!! Who knows?!?", he said shrugging his shoulders carelessly.
Now Bantu turns towards, Maan and asked, "What about you?!?!"
Maan suddenly gets serious and looks at the moon in the sky, "I don't remember.. I don't remember anything. I just know, there's someone who'll come here for me. And I need to wait for that person.."
Bantu pats his back tightly, and says, "Arey, don't worry, you'll remember everything with time.. At starting, you won't even remember your name, but then, your life will be revealed, like a book to you. Sometimes from one chapter, sometimes from another . We have lots of free time. And anyway, that fakir never told you, when the person will come, so let's just enjoy till then. What say??! Do you know, that Hema..."
"O... Not again...", they both groaned, out loud..
