PART - 23
MAAN was searching her badly but no sign of her was there. Her all belongings were set like before, if something was missing then it was his possession. Maan applies every weapon on his nurse but he only got silence from her. Maan rush to hospital in order to confront Dr. Asthana. He asked, yelled try to compell but only get disgust and rage for himself.
"Just get out of sight before I forget that I am a doc and my duty is to save life not ending." He yelled on Maan while passing a glare shots towards him.
"Dr. Asthana I am not in mood of fighting with you. So simply tell me where is my wife?" Maan was to stubborn. He wasn't ready to believe that he doesn't know about Geet whereabouts. "Kaha chhupaya hai apne is baar?" Maan protests.
"If you don't believe then use your all power and money and find her if you can. Just because of you I lost my daughter. She planned everything but don't inform me even. Don't know meri bachhi kis haal me hogi and trust me Maan if any thing happens to her I will kill you." His words come out equally with the wavelength of his rage, he had for him. Geet is missing once again and no one have any clue about her.
Maan's reports was normal and now he don't need any medical attention. Last night she was with him in his arms but now when he awake in mid noon, once again she was missing. After he stood up it will only take few weeks to get him normal. Geet not only was waiting for him to stood on his feet but also wants to brought him out of the darkness he created around himself since the day Geet left him.
Last night she gave herself to him. Surrender her body to her master once again. Maan was in solace. He was calm after ages. This night is different from their previous encounters because first time she equally responded to him, then why she left him now. Her response towards him made him believed that now she to accept him and will go with him to their world then why she left? This question bang his head like with a hammer. He not able to understand what wrong had happened which made her left him again.
That memories haunted him. He came back to hold the charge of KM and his business empire. But his life is empty. That thought not let him breath. Every second he wangs to know about her. Wants to ask her why she left him. Maan use his all contacts. Even keep his tabs on Dr. Asthana but no use. She never made any contact to him even. Maan getting mad every day.
Three months had passed and he received a msg from Dev. Though he wasn't much interested in informing about the new arrival to Khurana family but Meera insists him. He send the pic of new born with a msg. "I know its hardly matters to you. But still you are my elder brother and I can't ignores the Importance of you in my life. Congrats on becoming a uncle to new Khurana baby, my Angel - "Sia" looking for your blessings."
Maan glance at the pic and stare for hours. "Adi London jane ki tayari karo." He commands him and left.
The day he reached, Meera got discharged from hospital. They were at home with their little Angel. Maan hesitant a lot but he had came with some decisions so he need to move. With the entrance he got a heart breaking view. Dadima's portrait with a garland on it. It was a shock for him because he wasn't aware about it. All send msgs to him but he deleted all without even reading and avoid all calls from them. Adi sometime tries but he hearing Dev and Dadi's name he always shut him before he tells the whole truth to him. Servant already informed Dev about his arrival so he came down with Meera to meet him.
"So you here. Waise mujhe ab bhi yakeen nahi ho raha ki aap sach me aa gaye..." Dev sounds bit sarcastic.
"Dev please." Meera stopped him saying any thing more which might be affected their relationship.
"Ye..." Maan points towards the portrait. His throat dried and lashes were burning. He always had a rift with his dadima but he never ever imagined that he will not be able to see her again. In his ego he lost everything.
"Leave it bro. Apko kitne msg kiye par..." Dev's wound again turmed green. He was fuming badly from inside but don't want to behave like an animal so trying his level best to control his anger.
Maan's neck bow down. He wasn't bow before anyone. He always love to bow other. But right now he can't even peep in his soul. Now he realized what Geet told him before he drifted to sleep that night.
Meera don't want to spoil this reunion. Maan take a step towards Dev and she wants both brother will accept each other like before, so to lighten the atmosphere she take a first step and reached to Maan with her baby girl. She was bowing to touch his feet but Maan stopped her. "Stop Meera, I don't deserve this respect. Maine humesha Dev se chhena hai, bada hote hue big humesha use neecha dikhana apna haq samjha hai." His guilt was reflecting through his eyes. He was not pretending that was confirmed.
Meera glance back at Dev. He stood immovable. It wasn't easy for him to forgive him so easily. Not for him but for what he did with Geet and Dadima. Meera raised the baby towards him. She was sleeping fisting her small hands. Maan gazed her but felt hesitant to hold her. "Hold her. Apka haq hai. Or waise bhi she don't have any complaints against you." Dev saw him struggling and allow him. Meera told him how and place baby in his hands. First time he hold such a small a delicate life in his hands. He love to destroy lives but first time his heart and mind alerts him about the security of a baby. He scared for her. How much delicate she is. What if he fails to hold her properly. What if his any wrong move hurt her. No he can't hold her. He scared to hold such a pure life with his sinful hands. Her innocence reminds him of his all sins and Geet to whom he gave only pain and without any fault. In his insanity to get her he forgot how many wounds he gifting her. "Pls take her or else I may hurt her to." Maan screamed in panic and scare the baby. His loud noise broke her sleep and she start crying. "See what I did. I hurt her." He panicked for few seconds but next moment both found him struggling to pacify her. "Please don't cry baby. I am sorry. Sorry for my all sins." His sub conscious mind now forcing him to accept his all sins and he doing it. Unknowingly he asking for forgiveness from a small baby, assuming her as a Geet. He wants to said all those to her but she was no where. Dev took a step first but when he start opening he to take a back. Both let him spoke his heart to a little life who hardly understood but indeed she giving him a solace. First time Dev saw him as weak like a defeated person.
Maan cocoon her in his warmth and she slept again. Her cries slow down gradually. Meera took her to room, giving space to both. Dev put his hand on Maan's shoulder. He turned to him. "I hurt her to."
"Nahi you realize and now its high time you pacify Geet also."
"But how? I want to but she left me alone. Dev if you know where is she pls tell me. I can't live like this?" Maan pleads first time in his lifetime.
"Trust me bro I don't know where is she. Apki reports k bare me btane k baad usne apna no band kar diya. Infact I use my contacts but no result." Dev himself was scared for her safety but no clue about her. Geet cut off with all as she knew by any source he could reach to her again.
"That means she doesn't want to be found." His all hopes died the same moment.
FLASHBACK:-
she was laying underneath him. Maan was shuddering with need. He can't get enough of her but he was not harsh like before. May be first time they made love, may be because she reciprocated to him. He doesn't need to force her. But her face not having the glow of happiness but a deep pain was reflecting through her dead eyes.
"You still hate me, hai na?" Though she reciprocated but her eyes tells everything.
"Nahi." She said in flat dead voice.
"Then you love me?" He asked and their room filled with killing silence. He was staring but she laid stiff. "Tume itna sab karne ki kya zarurat thi when you don't able to bear me?" Maan broke the silence in a much shuddered voice.
Geet slipped away, come out of his grip and moved towards the wardrobe. "Jis dinn tum ye samjh jaoge us dinn sare swalo k jwab mill jayenge. Something in life is more than a ego and the day you learn you..." she left her words uncompleted and gave injection to him. He asked why and she told him as he missed his medicine in morning. Soon Maan slept, least he was aware that was the time he was watching her.
Today 3months had passed and no one had any clue of her...
