PART - 22LOCATION : LONDON
Sophie enters in a dark room. All ligts are turned off and curtians covered all windows. She switch on the lights. "what is this Meera?" she asked the reason of her being aloof and keeping herself distant from all.
"who's on the door?" Meera heared a bell and she asked about the visitor,completely ignoring her question.
"No one just a by passer asking for some address. Leave it and now answer my question. Meera stop playing with your life. You know what are you doing will directly effecting your..." Sophie cut shot by Meera.
"i know what i am doing. Why are you so worried? I am taking my meal and medicines on time." Meera replied briskly but lost some where else.
"Meera dont you think,Dev have a right to know about you?" sophie scanning her face to get her thoughts.
"dont drag him in all this. Already he is suffering and now you want me to become the reason of it." She snap,cautioning her again not to force her for this.
"why Meera? What suffering are you talking about." Meer's pupil widened as her ears alerts. She dont even need to glance who was standing there. Infact she wasn't in a state to met his gaze. She quickly covered herself under duvet. "Meera by slipping under duvet you cant hide the truth and i know everything about you.", Dev's tone carrying a bit of anger. Dont know on whom he was angry. Either on Meera or onto himself who was so lost in his problems that cant able to think about the consequenses of that night.
Meera look towards Sophie. Her eyes emitting fire for betraying her. "you promised me." she accused her.
"i am sorry but for me you are more important than any promise. You want to get angry on me fine but i cant see you in pain." Sophie had no regret,nor she scared of her reaction. She cares for her and for that she told the truth to Dev. "i am leaving. Please talk properly,coz now one more life's future depends on your decision." Sophie left them alone so they can sort out the matter.
Dev walked towards bed and sat near her. He was glancing at her face,waiting for her to speak but she was only thinking about the betrayal of Sophie. "why Meera? Why you hide this truth for me?" he asked softly.
Meera replied in a rough tone. "kyu jana hai tumhe? Its my life and my baby i..."
"our baby." he correct quickly.
"who told you that it belongs to you?" Meera tried her level best to keep Dev away from her.
Dev held her hand and put on her baby bump. "ab bolo ye mera nahi hai."
"Dev pls leave us alone. Dont create complications." tears she hold in her eyes to present herself as rude and strong float out without her permission.
"Meera why you hiding?" Dev wants to know.
"Dev pls go i dont want to burden your life an more. Already you favoured me so much. Now i dont want to take advantage of your any more." she turned her eyes and asked him to leave but deep inside her heart wants him.
"what advantage? That night what had happened between us,we both are responsible for that. Meera ye baby meri b responsibilty hai. I want to give you both a protective life. Marry me." Dev trying to convience but not easy.
"exactly my point. I dont want you to carry one more burden. Dev you never love any girl other than Geet,then no use of this unwanted relationship which was made on need. Us raat you were drunk but i am in my senses,still i couldnt able to stop myself. So mistake was mine. Tum to us raat b Geet k sath hi the. For you she was with you." her heart bleed with the thought. They come physically together but his heart still bound to Geet. Even when they intimate Dev took her as Geet in his semi conscious state. "Dev ye mera baby hai sirf mera and i will take care of every thing. Dont push yourself in a relation where there is only a compromise.
Her confession made him mute for a while. She got to know about her pregnancy thats why she left his home on that day. Meera dont want to bound him in a relation where there is no love. Yes she was his emotional support but not love. Both stare each other silently. He came here only for her and now he cant left her in such condition.
Dev slipped near her and placed his hand on her bump. "baby tell your mumma that from now,papa only wants you and your mumma in his life. Papa came here after breaking all locks of past,and promise Papa's past never effect out future. Papa love Geet and still love her but as a friend. She is married to some one else and now i dont have any right on her. Papa ki life me ab sirf aap dono hoge. Pls tell your mumma,give one chance to me. I know i never loved your mumma but now i want to. Papa wants your mumma in his life till last breath. Baby Papa not lying,tell you mumma. Geet is my past and i dont want to hold her. But you mumma is my present and future both. So pls request her to accept me." Dev's eyes were lingered on her bump only. He dont raised while pouring his heart before Meera... "pls,only one chance." Dev added and she smiled weakly in tears.
"Dev meri wajhse..."he placed his finger to shut her.
"not because of you. Geet is bro's wife or yahi sach hai. Destiny bound them. I will love her but now as a friend. Meera i want to start a fresh with you and our baby and i promise i love you both. Marry me." Dev proposed her again and she only slipped in his arms. She wrapped her arms around him and he kissed her on forehead. Both engulfed each other,feeling secured and complete with each other.
Here Maan start improving. Geet's cold and rough behaviour start working. He responding to his therapies. Dev called Geet and informed her about their marriage. Geet was happy and wished both. She had a relief that atleast he got some one who love him truly. Maan heared her talking with Dev but dont know the matter and again his devil mind start thinking in a wrong way,but it working good for him. He again tried to stand on his legs and falls down. He was like a baby who start walking and falls again and again but not leaving the courage.
Two months passed and his both arms are working properly. Many times he showed improvement in his legs also. Now Geet wants to forced him to the edge from where he only start walking. His reports are good and now she had a plan. Geet told this to Dev.
"pls Geet dont do this? You know if you do this what will he do?" He cautioned her strongly.
"i dont have a choice Dev. Itna aage aake now i get take a back. Or waise b aab koi farak nahi parta. He already ruined me so what's a big deal if he do one more time. He is my husband and you know now i dont feel any thing." Geet's voice is dead. Indeed she doesnt feels anything.
"Geet you going to surrender yourself again to him. We cant even predict how will he react and torture you." Dev was scared and cautioning her again and again but now she was determined.
"Dev pls no argument." she cut the call and take a deep breath. She execute her plan. She walk before him in just a towel. His inner beast pushed him to grab her but his legs not supporting him. Maan tried his level best to stood up but he cant. Today Geet want to gave him a shock and she did when one hired person came there. He would not touch Geet but went with her before his eyes which he couldnt able to hold. His mind filled with many thoughts and he forced himself to stood up. He wants to know where they went. Its like a shock and it works. In anger he stood up on his legs. He take a two or three steps and falls but he wont stop and crawling outside. Geet appeared again. "cant you sit on your chair,you looser?" she said bitterly.
Maan's anger towered and he stood again. It was painful but he ignore and slapped her hard. He dont bother but he was perfectly standing on his feet. "where is that bas***d,with whom..?" he hissed searching that person on his tripping feet. He take support of things but he was walking. Same time two more docs came and hold him.
"wow Mr. Khurana what an improvement. But pls dont put strain on your feet." they forced him to sit and Geet appeared fully dressed up.
"Dr. Mehta what are the chances?" she asked.
"dr. Naina your experiment works. He stood up on his legs and now he dont need to sit on that wheel chair. Regular massage se ye kuchh hi dino me properly chalne lagenge." He left prescribing new course of medi.
Maan staring her speechless. She done everything for him but why? His mind asking. Today he was fine but why she bear all this Maan was in shock. He held her arm. "why you did all this,when you hate me so much?" he asked for a reason.
"because this time you are my patient and i acnt left a person to die. Tumne to mujhe jeete jee maar dala tha. Par main aisa nahi kar sakti." Geet left. Her words pierced deep in his heart.
In past two months many thing were changed between two. While taking care of her monster she turned soft towards even after his wrong behaviour. Even he can also feel that but his posessive attitute and nature to hold his possession made him crazy and he act weird. But whatever they do,result come fruitful. Finally he was well,for which she brought him here.
