CHAPTER 12. GEET LEAVES KHURANA MANSION
Dev sighed as he hefted another of the bags lying by his feet. He grunted at the weight and while staggering under its weight, he threw the bag into the trunk of his car.
"Phew!", Dev wiped his forehead, "How much kilos does this woman carry for a two day trip?"
"Kuch kahaan aapne?", came NT's voice from the front seat of the car.
Dev flinched, "Nothing my darling! Nothing!"
He heaved a sigh of relief when NT accepted his answer. Just as he hefted another bag to throw it into the trunk, Maan arrived with his own precious cargo; Geet. She was unconscious in his arms.
"Yeh uthegi kab Dev? She has yet to wake up!", Maan mumbled worriedly as he looked at his beloved wife. She looked so peaceful while sleeping, he mused.
Dev patted his shoulder, "She will be up by noon! The injection I gave her in the midnight was a strong dose! It was enough to knock her out for more than twelve hours!"
"But was that injection necessary?", Maan blurted out as he looked at Dev with pain in his eyes.
Dev nodded, "She was about to wake up Maan. And at that time, it would have been Preet who would have woken up, not Geet! We had to put her to sleep again! There was no other option other than injection!"
Maan nodded but still looked worriedly at his wife. He went to his own car and placed Geet in the passenger seat while tying her seat belt. Just then NT piped in, "By the way, kya kisiko pata hai Daadima ne hum sabko itne jaldi waapis kyun bulaaya?" Dev shrugged while Maan looked pensive.
"No idea! All I know is she called me up and said that all four of us had to be back before 1. God knows why she called us back so urgently!", Dev replied as he slid into the driver seat of his rental car.
Maan sat in the driving seat of his own car and before they knew it, Maan and Dev were driving their cars towards Khurana Mansion.
The group of four reached Khurana Mansion by 11 AM. As Maan entered the mansion with Geet in his arms, Daadima, who was waiting for them in the hall, stood up and walked towards them frantically, "Geet bete ko kya hogaya Maan?" She patted Geet's cheeks worriedly. NT held her back while Dev answered, "Kuch nahi Daadimom! She had a horrible headache! So I gave her some meds. Turns out, the meds were too strong for her and she is now sleeping it off!"
Daadima accepted the answer and then ordered Maan to take Geet to their room. Maan nodded and walked away. Daadima asked NT and Dev to freshen up and the couple left too. Fifteen minutes later, Dev, NT and Maan arrived in the hall.
"Waise Daadima, aapne bataaya nahi aapne hum logon ko itne jaldi kyun waapis aane kyun kahaa? Aap theek toh haina? Koi pareshaani ki baat toh nahi?", Maan asked worriedly.
"Offo Maan bete!", Daadima huffed, "Aap kitni aasaani se pareshaan hote ho! Aisi koi baat nahi! Hum theek hain! Khaas kar ab jab humaare pote ki shaadi ho chuki ho!" She patted Maan's cheeks while Maan rolled his eyes.
"Toh phir aapne humein aise kyun bulaaya?", NT looked on curiously.
Daadima smiled, "Geet ke pag phere ke liye! Subah ko hi Geet bete ke Daarji ka phone aaya tha ki woh Brij ko bhej rahe hain pagphere ki rasam ke liye! Lekin woh kab tak pahunchenge pata nahi isliye humne tum logon ko turant bulaa liya!"
"Toh Geet Bhabhi is leaving?", Dev asked with a frown on his face.
Daadima nodded, "Haan bhai! She must be missing her family too. Daarji seemed to be missing her too. Toh Geet aaj jaa rahi hai! Aur kuch din baad Maan jaayenge aur use waapis le aayenge! Yahi pag phere ki reet hai!"
Saying her point, Daadima walked away leaving behind a frowning Dev, an oblivious NT and a sad Maan.
An hour later, NT and Dev found Maan sitting with his head in his arms on the sofa of his study room.
"Maan! You alright?", Dev asked worriedly as he closed the door. Brij had arrived few hours ago and around the same time Geet had woken up too. Any questions she had about her being unconscious or waking up in Khurana Mansion after falling asleep in Farmhouse was stalled once she saw her brother.
Brij and Geet were delighted to see each other and soon Geet sat by her brother as he spoke with Maan, Dev, Daadima and NT. Soon lunch was ready and all of them had lunch together. Later on, Brij and Geet sat side by side talking with the Khurana family. Maan had stayed till necessary and then had excused himself. NT and Dev spoken to Brij for a while before they also excused themself saying that the brother sister duo needed some time alone with each other. Daadima also agreed and asked Geet to take Brij to her and Maan's room. Now Brij and Geet were sitting in Geet and Maan's room catching up.
Maan didn't reply and NT and Dev shared a worried glance.
"Maan! You alright?', Dev reiterated his question. Maan finally pulled his head away from his hands and looked at his cousin. His face held anguish, "I don't know!"
"Matlab?", NT couldn't help but butt in.
"On one side Geet is leaving me and I can't handle it but on the other side I am happy that she is leaving because then Preet will be out of my life too!", Maan explained. Dev and NT didn't know what to say so they remained quiet.
Suddenly, Maan stood up in a jerk, "I hate this! I hate her! She ruined everything! I HATE HER!", Maan roared. NT flinched while Dev looked alarmed. But Maan wasn't finished, "Infact, you know what?", he growled as he looked at Dev and NT, "I wish I never married Geet! I wish I never met her! I wish I never went to Hoshiarpur!"
There was silence all around. Maan stood there glaring at a distance in anger, his hands clenched tightly, his body language showing how agitated he was. NT's hands were on her mouth and she looked at Man disbelievingly while Dev looked too shocked to react. Finally Dev moved, "You hate Geet?", he was looking at Maan in shock.
"What? No!", now Maan was the one who looked shocked, "I am talking about Preet! I hate her! She ruined everything! But yes, I do wish I NEVER MARRIED GEET OR EVEN MET HER!"
Dev flinched at the roar, "You didn't mean that Maan, right? You didn't mean that!" His voice a little pleading, wanting to believe that his cousin didn't give up on his love just because of a hurdle.
Maan sighed and his shoulders slumped. He sat down on the sofa and looked at Dev in defeat, "Of course I didn't mean it! Geet meri jaan hai! Lekin... lekin main use aise kaise dekhun? Yeh jaante hue ki woh theek nahi hai lekin main uski koi madat nahi kar sakta, mujhe bahut dard hota hai! Isse toh achcha hai ki main usse mila hi nahi! I don't like feeling this helpless! It was better if I never met her and never loved her! Atleast I wouldn't have felt this helpless!"
"Achcha hua that she is married you!", Dev announced and Maan blinked in shock. He looked at Dev with surprise and Dev could feel that even NT was surprised. Dev explained, "Agar tum nahi toh uski shaadi kisi aur se hoti aur lekin jisse hoti woh shaayad yeh sab dekhne ke baad Geet ko chod deta! Phir Geet ka kya hota?" Maan realised he never thought like this. Dev smiled, "Geet is lucky because she married you. You are strong Maan. You are strong enough to face these problems and I am sure you two will come out of it too but you just have to remain strong! I know you don't want to leave her but you can't crumble either! You have to stand strong and face all the troubles! You are Maan Singh Khurana, the business tycoon! If anyone can face this, its you!"
"But how am I supposed to be strong?", Maan mumbled and surprisingly it was NT who replied, "By trusting in your love for her!" Maan looked at her and she smiled at him, "Veerji! Love is very powerful! It can face anything that life throws at it! You just keep on loving her and all will be fine!"
"But I feel so helpless! I want to help her but I can't!", Maan explained as he gripped his hair in frustration.
"But you are helping her!", Dev spoke up, "Just by loving her and standing by her, you are helping her! She has tough times in her future and she will need all your love and support to get over it! And that's how you will help her!"
Maan nodded. There was once again silence for few minutes when Maan spoke up, "Lekin meri Geet ko hua kya hai? Why she turns Preet at night?"
"Now we are coming to the main point. Yesterday's experiment proved my theory right, answered some questions and created few more questions. But one thing is sure, Geet has MPD!", Dev explained. That got Maan and NT's attention. Dev continued to explain, "Remember I asked NT to ask Preet about Geet. I told her to ask that because I wanted to know if Preet knew Geet. But she didn't! Neither girls know each other! If they knew each other, that would mean Preet was some friend or relative and Geet saw something happened to her and got traumatised. But that is definitely not the case here!"
Just then NT interrupted, "Did you notice that she doesn't remember anything about the last times she emerged? Preet has met you twice but the second time also she treated you as a stranger! What was that about?"
"That one of the questions that remained unanswered despite our experiment!", Dev explained, "And that is also one thing I don't understand. The other personalities always remember everything they encountered. So how come she didn't remember the second time she emerged! Its baffling!", Dev mumbled to himself before getting back to the conversation.
"Back to my experiment!", Dev continued, " Then NT asked about her husband and Preet went berserk. But she also revealed an important information. Of course I expected her to reveal more but we will have to make do with what we got!"
"What information?', NT wondered and Dev replied, "Preet is a widow whose husband treated her so badly that she hates all men!"
Maan took in a deep breath, "That's why she slapped me that night and pushed me away the other night!"
"I am suspecting, and mind you, this is all speculation till we find the truth!", Dev spoke up, "But I am suspecting that Geet faced something traumatic in her past that left her mind fractured. That's how Preet was born. Geet couldn't handle the trauma and Preet was born. Maan!", Dev looked at Maan, "Tell me! Was Geet ever widowed?"
"WHAT! NO!", Maan stood up in shock, "I am sure if something like this happened then their family would have told us!"
"What if they wanted to hide it?", NT asked.
"Nahi!", Maan shook his head, "Daadima asked around about the whole family in the village before calling me over! She wanted to be sure that my in laws were good people before going ahead with the relationship! No stories about Geet being a widow came out!"
Dev sighed as he rubbed his forehead, "This is why I wanted to talk to you Maan! If Geet left now, we won't be able to treat her or diagnose her. Plus I need to ask Geet some questions about Preet too! But now..."
Maan nodded, "But what to do?"
"Can't you convince Geet that you don't want her to go?", NT piped in, "Can't you tell her that you want to spend more time with her before she left for pag phera? That might stop her! After all, she is as crazy for you as you are for her!"
Maan nodded, "This might work! Main abhi jaake use rokta hun!"
Maan walked out of the study as Dev and NT sat down nearby waiting for Maan to come back. Suddenly Maan came running back, his face pale, sweat on his forehead and a paper clenched in his fist tightly.
"Maan?", Dev stood up in alarm. NT followed. Maan looked at Dev as if he had lost every happiness in his life. And when he opened his mouth, Dev and NT paled too.
"Geet!", Maan spoke haltingly, "Geet left me... forever... she is not coming back...!"
Haila! I left you with a cliffhanger! Please don't kill me!
Don't worry!
I already planned the next chapter and Maaneet will be back together in that chapter itself!
But the problems will still be there!
And the mystery will slowly start unravel from Chapter 14!
Hope you are as eager to untangle the mystery as I am!
Thank you, take care and have fun,
Kalpana
