Maan eyes fall on Purvi:Geet ko sath hi le aati.
Purvi: usko time lgna tha aur mujhe sb preparation bhi to dekhni thi. meri baat hui hai us se,ghar se nikl chuki.
Maan nodded & went to greet da guests.
Silence spread around as one month Pari cry echoed around. Between guests Maan finally abe to see Geet driver ,holding Pari.His clothes were covered in dirt & mud,he was crying continuously.
They went near to him,taking Pari from his hand,Maan demanded:Geet kahan hai?
Purvi took Pari from him as da driver started:hum aa rhe the,ek van ne humara raasta rok lya.mene buht zyada koshish ki pr wo Geet madam ko le gaey.
Maan in horror:what?
Rudar slapped him:islye rkha hai tumhe duty par? tumhari duty thi usko safely yahan lani ki.
Maan was driving crazy in horror & fear.He was about to go Saleel grabbed his arm:kahan ja rhe ho Maan.
Maan shouted:Geet ko dhundhne.
Saleel to driver:pehle is se poucho to..koi nishani,van no. dekha hoga?
Driver:bs white van thi.mujhe aur kuch yaad nhi.
Rudar took out his cell:police ko call krta hun.
Maan cell rang at da moment,he receivd
Kidnapper replied:tumhari biwi hmare pass hai.aur bikul sahi salamat hai.uski fikr mt kro.use koi nuksan nhi pouhnche ga.
Maan yelled:kon ho tum,aur kya chahte ho?
Kidnapper:bht jald btate hein.police ko khbar mt krna.wrna jo hoga uske zimedar tum khud hoge.
They cut da call.Rudar:kis ka phone tha.
Maan was not able to breathing:Geet kidnap ho gai hai.
Purvi:kya demand ki hai,kya chahtey hein.
Maan:kuch bhi nhi bta rhe,bs keh rhe hein police ko mt btana.
Saleel:phir to hme intezar hi krna pdega.hum risk nhi le sktey.
Maan yelled:to men kya aese hath pr hath rkh k betha krun.
Rudar:Maan calm down..unki dusri call ka wait krte hein.phir dekhte hein kya krna hai.
Maan:wo pta nhi kis trhan k logo k sath hai aur aap keh rhe ho calm down.men khud use dhundh k ley aaunga.
Purvi:kyun Geet ki life ko khtrey men daal rahe ho,thoda sabr to karo.
That was da longest night of his life.Maan was feeling like a caged,injured lion.He stood near Pari crib & whispered:men tumhari mom ko kuch nhi hone dunga,promise.
His cell rang,he recived,his heart jump wid joy hearing Geet voice.
Maan:tum kahan ho Geet?Kesi ho?
Geet breathless:men theek hun Maan.
Maan:Geet tumhe ek khrounch bhi aai naa to men marr jaunga,tum kahan ho btao mujhe.
Geet slowly:mujhe koi nuksan nhi hua Maan..mujhe ye bhi pta chl gya iske peeeche kon hai.bs tum abhi aa kr mujhe le jao.purani cemment factory k pass ek 3rd floor building hai.aur pahari hai.meri nishani tumhe mujh tk pouncha degi..
The call disconnected.Maan came downstair running:Dad,Saleel,Purvi.
They gathered on his call.He announced:Geet ka pta chl chuka hai.
To their shock he added:usne call ki hai mujhe.wo theek hai.usne mujhe adress btaya hai.men use lene ja raha hun..Saleel police ko call kro.
Purvi:lekin kidnapers ne dhmaki di thi.
Maan:Geet ko ye bhi pta chl gya hai,un sbke peeche kon hai..men use chodunga.men uski life azab bna dunga.
Rudar:men police ko call krdeta hun,tum aur Saleel jao.
Maan:nhi Saleel tum police k sath dusre raste se aao,men nhi chahta koi ek bhi bch k nikle.
They went to their ways.
The sun was making its way to sky.Maan went inside da building but found no one there.In one room of 3rd floor,plate of untouched food & matress was proof of some one precense there.
Hearing a scream from far he look down from da window & found Geet running behind tress.Wid all his effort he ran.Police siren echoed around.Leaving da goons for police Maan only looked for Geet.On numerous call he finally heared her sob:Maan..
He turned & she finally came out of bushes.She ran in his arms,crying bitterly.He hugged her back wid all his love:tumhare pass ho,theek ho.stop crying.
How he wanted to spent his whole life in this state.His mind frozed hearing gun fire,which instantly followed by Geet loud whimper.He lifted up his hand from her back which was drenched in blood.
Her knees jerked but he kept her in his arms.He sat down,taking her in his lap.His face chalk white,his eyes wide in fear:Geet..kuch nhi hoga.
He luked around,shouted crazily:help..help
He picked her in arms:kuch bhi nhi hoga tumhe,men kuch nhi hone dunga.
Her breathing became shallow,her eyes drifting slowly.Grabbing Maan shirt she whispered:..love u.
And in his arms,near his beating heart his Geet became just a lifeless body.
---
Maan:mene use buht jgaya,us se buht mafia mangi,use buht manaya par wo nhi manni.Galti bhi to hui thi naa mujhse.Naa men wahan khud jata ,police le kr..naa men usse hmesha k lye khotta.
Tears were streaming from Geet eyes .Maan:I kill her.
Geet shook her head & pulled him in hug.
He was rambling.It frightened her to see him like this.Leaning closer, she pressed a kiss to his forehead.She touch his hairs,his face.Without any protest he leaned closer to her.He wanted to be with her.That terrified him more than anything.That he'd needed to be with her.He knew no other woman would console him as she did.No other woman would care for him as she did.No other woman could reach below the surface of him like she could.Wiping his teary cheeks wid her lips she pressed soft kisses on his face.Sometime body communicate more dn words.
As he laid her on the rug behind him his mouth came down on hers with an urgency,dn a gentleness.Her hands massaged her neck, stroked his cheek.There was almost a sweetness to the kiss,as though he were imploring her to accept him,to want him.To be content with what he could give,even as he seemed to be acknowledging that he knew it wasn't enough.
He trailed his lips along her throat,leaving behind the dampness of his mouth and little tongue tickles.
The pressure built until he was arching against him,crying out, experiencing a cataclysmic release that had him soaring among glittering stars before falling back, breathless and limp.His low moan echoed around her.He slid up her body, leaving a trail of kisses as he went.When he reached her throat,he eased off her and nestled his face in the curve of her shoulder. She thought she felt his mouth form a smile before he drifted off to sleep.His arm and leg were draped heavily over her.She couldn't move.But she wouldn't have even if she'd had the ability.She simply wanted to stay curled against him.
---
He woke up nearly at noon.And in minutes disappered from cottage.Geet long wait finally over when he returned after 9.She walked behind him:Maan mujhe tumse buht zruri baat krni hai.
But he didnt stopped,nor met her gaze.She followed him to room:Maan tum mujhe ignore mt kro.
Grabbing his towel he went in washroom & shut da door behind him.Geet:tumhe meri baat sunni hi hogi Maan.
Thankfuly Pari was still playing outside when Maan came out of washroom.He kept wearing his clothes,ignoring Geet but she kept speaking:jo kuch bhi tumne mujhe kl btaya hai.mujhe yakeen hogya hai tumhari Geet ka murder hua hai.Lekin gunhagar tum nhi ho,mujhe smjh aa gya hai.
He turned to her & gave her warning:mujhe is baare men koi baat nhi krni.
Ofcourse in da day of light...he regretted last night. Her heart ached on this realization. But ignoring her pain she move forward.
But she didnt gt scared,grabbing his arm made him face her:is baat se bhagna hi tumhari galti hai.Geet ko insaaf nhi milla,islye tumhara dil ab tk becheyn aur beskon hai. Maan Geet ka jaan kr murder hua hai,aur men janti hun ye kis ki hrkat hai.
When Maan looked her in shock she looked for words:ye tumhare kisi apne ki hrkat hai.men tumhe aese nhi bta skti..mujhe bs ek chance chahey.
She hesitatly added:jb hum yahan se jaeynge to tum wapis ja kr sb ko bolna..men tumhari Geet hun.bs ek week.Like a maricle mujhe sb yaad aagya hai. Tum kaho ge to sbko yakeen aa jaeyga
His hand lifted up in signal to stop her:aaj to kehdya.aaynda sochna bhi mt.
He turned to walk away when she snapped in anger:bs itni mohabbat hai? Ye sitf mohabbat nhi hai jis ki aag mein tum itne saalo se jal rhe ho...naa hi ye pchtava hai. Ye uski awaz hai, uski pukar hai jo tumhe sch btana chahti hai. Aur tum smjh hi nhi pas rhe.
Few moments passed,he remain rooted to his spot.
He went near to her:theek hai mujhe tumhara ye stupid kheyl manzoor hai.tum jo kaho gi men wo keh dunga..bdle men mujhe kuch chahey.Do gi?
Geet instantly: Kuch bhi.
Maan: chahey tumhare is plan ka koi result nikley ya nhi..meri is ijazat k bdle tum meri zindagi se hmesha hmesha k lye chli jaogi.
Geet became frozed: He added on her quiteness:bs itni mohabbat hai?
She looked away,he whispered: Nhi krskti naa?men bhi nhi krskta.
With dt he went out of room.
---
Maan walked inside for picking bags: Pari dont forget to tk ur jacket.raaste men thand lgi gi.
She ran to kitchen,looking for her jacket. He walked inside da bedroom but da sight infront made da earth slipped from beneath his feet.
Geet was brushing her straight hairs,dressed in pink & cream sari. The black mangalsutr adoring her neck wid a shiny nosal ring on her nose..Just like his Geet.The sight was so pleasent,so beautiful like a dream...but on awakening dreams hurt.
She turned & his eyes met wid her kohl eyes which were red & swollen from long night cry.His throat seems full of throat :ye sb kya hai?
She spoke with all her w ill:kal raat ko tumne jo shrt rkhi thi mujhe manzoor hai.mujhe bs ek chance chahey,zyada se zyada ek hafta aur uske bdley men..men hmesha k lye chli jaungi.
He reapeated her words in shock: chli jaogi?
Her lips trembled as she added :promise.
She turned her face away, unable to hold his dear sight aymore.
Without saying a single word he walked out from there & sat outside near thick trees on bench. Her voice kept echoung..Her words piercing his viens"men hamesha k lye chli jaungi"
His heart ached, surprisingly he realized his precense after so long.
The realization was scary,but true..it was hurting him,hurting him so much.But da pagal ladki who loves him crazily,deserves someone better,doesnt she?
Meri kismat ke har ek panne pe
Mere jeete ji baad marne ke
Mere har ik kal har ik lamhe me
Tu likh de mera usey
Har kahaani me saare qisson me
Dil ki duniya ke sacche rishton me
Zindagani ke saare hisso mein
Tu likh de mera usey
Aye Khuda aye Khuda jab bana uska hi bana
Aye Khuda aye Khuda jab bana uska hi bana
Uska hoon uss me hoon uss se hoon
Usi ka rehne de
Main toh pyaasa hoon hai
Dariya woh zariya woh jeene ka mere
Mujhe ghar de gali de shehar de
Usi ke naam ke
Kadam ye chale ya ruke ab usi ke vaaste
Dil mujhe de agar dard de uska par
Uski ho woh hasin goonje jo mera ghar
Aye Khuda aye Khuda jab bana uska hi bana
Aye Khuda aye Khuda jab bana uska hi bana
She put her new banlges in little box, safely.Pressing da 1st & last gift to her heart she whispered: men tumhare lye tumhe chod bhi skti hun, tumhe khud se azad krne se mein tumhe khud se azad krdungi.
Mere hisse ki khushi ko hansi ko
Tu chaahe aadha kar
Chahe lele tu meri zindagi par
Ye mujhse vaada kar
Uske ashqon pe ghamon pe dukhon pe
Har uske zakhm par
Haq mera hi rahe har jagah har ghadi haan umr bhar
Ab faqat ho yahi woh rahe mujh me hi
Woh juda kehne ko bichhde na par kabhi
Aye Khuda aye Khuda jab bana uska hi bana
Aye Khuda aye Khuda jab bana uska hi bana
Meri kismat ke har ek panne pe
Mere jeete ji baad marne ke
Mere har ik kal, har ik lamhe me
Tu likh de mera usey
Aye Khuda Aye khuda
Aye Khuda Aye Khuda

Glass dropped from Purvi hands & scattered into pieces as Geet walked inside wid Pari.Rudar & Saleel stood up in shock.Geet wid her cutest smile:hello everyone.
Pari excitedly:hume buht mza aaya.humne aap k lye gift bhi lye hein.
Geet:beta aap abhi ja kr fresh ho jao.phir sb ko gifts dete hein.
She went upstairs,Geet spoke wid happiness:Purvi di,Saleel jiju,Dad aesa lg rha hai aap ko kitne saalo baad dekh rhi hun.
After her attire,her talking style assured their doubts:aap log aese heran ho kr kyun dekh rhe ho?men Aap ki Geet hun.
Saleel in disbelief:ye kese ho skta hai?
Geet dreamily:jb mohabbat sachi ho,to kuch bhi ho skta hai.Shimla ja kr mujhe sb kuch yaad aane lga.
To Saleel she added:meri aur aap ki office wali coffee,dii aap ki meri )ate night baatein.
To Rudar she spoke:aur aap ki vja se hi to men Maan ki zindagi men aai thi.aap ne apne ladle bete ko naraz kr k mujhe job pr rkha tha...
Purvi in shock:tumhara mtlb hai tum Geet ho?
Rudar:wo mar chuki hai.
Geet smiled:jb dil aur rooh jism chod jate hein,to maut ho jati hai. Aur jb yehi dil aur rooh mohabbat ki pukar pr wapis aa jate hein to zindagi mil jati hai.
With smile she went from there.
Purvi:aesa kesa ho skta hai?ise sb kuch kese pta chla.
Saleel:ab Maan to ise btane se raha!
Purvi:to tumhara mtlb hai ye sch men Geet hai?
---
Maan who had gone straight to office when returned in night dy gathered him.Saleel:tumhe pta hai Geet kya keh rhi hai?Wo hmari Geet hai.
Purvi:Maan use hmare past ki sb battein kesi pta chli?
Rudar:tumne use btaya hai,ya use khud sb kuch yaad aagya.
Geet sudden voice made them jump:sb kuch nhi..
She descended from stairs & went near them:kuch kuch..ahista ahista.purane chehre dekh kr,cheeze dekh kr jese ek ek kr k yaadon k pages khul rhe hein.Jese abhi calender dekh kr yaad aaya Kal Pari ka birthday hai.Itna sara kaam krna hai..
Purvi:mene sb manage krdya hai,sb order krdya hai.
Geet intetrrupted:cancel krdo.
They looked her in shock.
She proudly:apni beti k birthday ki peparation men khud krungi.wese life bhi kesa kheyl hai naa Purvi di,aap ne mujhse Pari ko manga tha aur mene mna krdya tha.aap se buht pyar tha pr aulad ki mohabbat sb se bdh k hoti hai.par kismat ka kheyl dekhey Pari ko aap ne hi pala.
Purvi stood up,her discomfort clearly visible on her face:men khanna lgati hun.
She left,Geet:Maan tum bhi fresh ho jao.
---
There was pin drop silence when Saleel came on dining:sorry..important call aa gai thi.
He stopped hearing Geet question:kesi hai Meera?
To Saleel white face Geet sweetly reminded him:aap Meraa se baat kr rhe the,abhi aap k room k psss se ate hue sunna mene.
He slowly looked at Rudar & Maan who were looking him in shock.He snapped at Geet: Meera meri behan hai.
Geet smiled:ofcourse I know..I know everything.
She continued eating:time se sona hoga,kal shaam ki party ki tyari krni hai..
She stopped eating,her face suddenly became full of pain.Staring in space she whispered:us din bhi to party thi naa...Pari ki party.
She stood up & wid heavy steps walked away.No one stopped her only their shocking gaze followed her quitely.
Saleel in shocked inquired Maan; ye sb kya ho rha hai. How can she make such a claim?
Kese janti hai ye sb purani baate.
Maan avoid his gaze::pta nhi.
He left from there.
Saleel went to Purvi room, who was sitting in shock.
Purvi: mene Pari k janam se pehle, Geet se kaha tha k mujhe god fe de apna pehla bcha.
Saleel remain quite. Hokta hai , Geet ne Maan ko bta ya ho
Saleel tense: pr ye baatien Maan Geet se kyun krega, wo to zyada bolta hi nhi us se.
Purvi: to phir ye sch mein moracle hai. Kya ye dono ek hi geet hai.
Saleel remain in thoughts.
Brushing Pari hairs Geet turned her to face mirror.Pari sequeled in joy:tumne to sch men mujhe sch much ki Pari bna dya.
Her beautiful pink dress had soft fabric wings wid a shiny crown on her little head.
Geet:to tum sch much ki Pari ho.ab jaldi neeche chlo,Are u not excited for ur surprise birthday gift?
Pari turned & looked her wid mischivious eyes:mujhe pta hai,kya gift hai.
Geet:wo kese?
Pari:mene subha hi chupke se sare gifts dekh lya tha,pack hone se pehle.
She lovingly wrapped arms around her neck:Doll house is so lovely.
Geet teased:how r u sure k doll house mene dya hai?
Pari innocently:kyunke mujhe doll house chahaey tha,aur tumhe wo sb khud hi pta chl jata hai jo mujhe chahey hota hai.islye i know tum ne hi dya hai.
Geet kissed her:buht smart nhi hoti ja rhi ho?
Pari giggled:meri doll rahegi usme apne mom papa k sath.men bhi papa ko bolungi mujhe aesa pyara pink pink ghar chahey phir usme men tum aur papa rahenge.
Geet smile fadded as Pari weaved an impossible future.
Pari thoughtfully:aur isme hum fish pond bhi bnaeyge.buht sare pets bhi rkheynge bikul doll house k jese.buht maze krenge..
It took all her will to hold back her tears.If her plan will work,dis would be her last night in this home,in their life.Just da thought of it was feeling continous acid rain on her heart.
Purvi came calling:Pari,beta aap abhi tk tyar nhi huey.
Her step frozed at da entrance of door.She was not able to hide her sharp intake of breath.Geet clearly knew da reason of her shocking state:hum aa rhe hein.
Purvi left from there as quickyl as possible
The birthday party was for children but some of da parents of Pari school friends were there too.Saleel & Rudar were giving them company,he excused himself seeing Purvi white face:kya hua Purvi?
Purvi breathless:wo ooper..wo Geet hai.
She tried to make him understand:wo bilkul wese tyar hui hai jesi Pari k janam k party k lye tyar hui thi.
Tears filled her eyes:Saleel wo wese hi red sari men khari hai jisme uski dead body..
Noise of children grew as Pari came downstairs wid Geet.Geet looked toward Rudar,Saleel,Purvi wid confident face & haterd eyes.But she had no courage to meet Maan gaze.Even without looking she could sense expressions of hurt & betrayl on his face.She lifted up her gaze as he walked closer.She was sure he will never love her but now he will surely hate her for playing with his memories.
She uses all the info...which he told her in talk, t win their belief
Instead of da emotional disaster in him Maan hold Pari knife hand to continue da cake cutting ceremony.Pari pulled Geet hand using her free hand & kept it on Maan.The feeling of his against her touch making pain of coming emptiness in her life more terrible.
Geet heart was sinking as party was heading towards its end.She felt defeated on getting no response from da person she was highly doubted of Geet murder,even by seeing her in this look.Fear of her failed plain was making her face pale.In return of all her effort,after torturing Maan she will get nothing .
She slipped from there,went outside in deserted lawn.Helpless tears slipped down from her eyes.She looked up at sky:kya Maan kbhi is curse se azad nhi hoga?mere dil ko yakeen hai mera shak sahi hai.mera dil pehchan raha hai qatil ko pr men kese sch ko samne laun?
Her words stopped feeling approaching foot steps behind her.She stood rotted as his words melted in her ears:mujhe maaf krdo Geet.mera maqsad tumhe marna nhi tha.
She turned & her eyes met wid teary,regretfull eyes of Rudar Khuranna.
Geet just stare him like a statue as he continued to justify him:ghbraht men mujhse buht badi galti hogai thi.mera yakeen kro men tumhe marna nhi chahta tha.
He looked her from head to toe in continuos horror:mujhe pta hai tumhe aaj sb yaad aagya hai.tumhe ye bhi yaad aagya hai k mene tumhe shoot kya tha..Maan ki god men jb tumhari saanse nikl rhi thi tumne mujhe dekh lya tha..
Tears of regret fall from his eyes:masoom ki bewaja maut ka qudrat imtihan leti hai.tum wapis lot ke aai,tumhe sb yaad aa gya,ab tum Maan ko bhi sb bta do gi...
"to khamosh krdo, isko bhi maar kr chup krado",
Geet & Rudar shock had no limit on finding Maan standing there.
---
His shining wet eyes were red wid fury. Rudar looked for words:Maan..
He yelled:mt lo mera naam apni zuban se.
He grabbed Rudar from his arms:kyun kya aap ne aesaj? Kya begara tha meri Geet ne aap ka? kya dushmani thi us se?kya dushmani thi mujhse?
Hearing Maan loud voice from outside Purvi ordered servants:Pari aur bchon ka dhyan rkhna.remaining guests chle bhi jaey,jb tk men naa aaun Pari ko bahir aane nhi dena.
She & Saleel went to lawn.Their shock had no limit hearing Maan words.
Maan was confronting him:koi baap aesa kese kr skta hai?aap nhi krskta esa.kehdo ye jhoot hai.mere lye khud ko kassor vaar manna asan hai lekin ye sch k mere dad meri Geet ka katil hai?jis se men sb se zyada pyar krta hun.men Geet k katil k saath itne saalo se ek hi ghar men ek hi chth k neeche reh raha tha?plz kehdo ye sb sch nhi hai.
Maan left his arms wid a jerk,Rudar sat on bench behind him wid his lower head:mere itna smjhane k baad bhi tum sb kuch Geet k naam krne ki zid pr arey rahe to mujhe kuch smjh nhi aaya.mene Geet ko kidnap kraya.mera yakeen kro men use koi nuksan nhi pouhnchana chahta tha.sirf darana chahta tha. Tumhe ye smjhana chahta tha..k uske nam pr kuch bhi krna dngerous hai. Gundo ne use subha chod dena tha. mene gunde ko sirf use 2 ghante k lye rkhne ko kaha tha.wo us se kisi random ppr pr sign le kr chod dete.Aur jb tumhe pta chlta k tumhara decision Geet k lye khtra bna hai,tumhari property k lye bhi khtra bna hai to tum papares wapis apne name pr transfer kr lete.
par sb kuch ult hogya,Geet nhi dari.usne kahi bhi sign krne se inkar krdya.aur pta nhi use kese ek kidnapper ka cell mil gya jo usne tumhe call krdi.us cell men mere msgs the,islye usko pta chl gya tha men hun in sb k peeche.
mene hi goons ko alert kya tha,k tumhare aane se pehle wo waha se nikal jaey.men wahan gya tha,men Geet se mil kr us se baat krna chahta tha.par wo pehle Maan ko mill gai.jb mene Geet Maan k sath dekha to men buht zyada ghabra gya tha.wo mere baare men bta deti tumhe.men use marna nhu chahta tha,rokna chah raha tha..mujhe kuch smjh nhi aaya .mein apne ek lute bete ko nhi kho sky tha. Tumhari nafrat, narazgi mujhse brdasht nhi hoti.
He brust into fresh tears:men tumhe khonna nhi chahta tha Maan.men tumse buht pyar krta hun Maan let out a sacrastic laugh:pyar? aap k is pyar ne mujhe maar dya.
Rudar pleaded:men is galti ki aag men us din se hr pal jal raha hun.
Maan yelled:galti nhi gunnah hai jis ki jo sza milley wo km hai.Get out..abhi k abhi mere ghar se,meri life se.
With that he walked out away from there & locked himself in his room.Expect Rudar everyone went behind him.Saleel continuous knocked at door & pleaded him to open but got no response.Geet came forward & politely spoke:Pari ko tumhari zrurt hai Maan,usse naa bhulna.
She stepped away from there & looked at them:kuch nhi hoga Maan ko.use akela rehne ki zrurt hai,use akela chod do .
Purvi wid teary eyes:Geet?
Geet slowly shook her in NO:sb kuch mujhe Maan ne btaya tha.meri kisi bhi baat se aap ko tkleef pouhnchi ho to sorry,Rudar uncle ko yakeen dilane k lye unke samne aap se sawal jawab krna zruri tha.
Purvi feeling disappointed brust into tears.Saleel wrapped her in arms.Geet went away from there to Pari room.
Pari removed blanket away from her face:kahan reh gai thi tum?kaka mujhe room se bahir hi nhi ja rhe the.kitna mza aaya,pr men buht thakh gai..
She continued to spoke but instead of hearing Geet was staring at her,like capturing dis precious sight forever.
.It was so hard fr her to hide her emotions behind her smile:tumne mujhe to koi gift dya hi nhi.
Pari thought fr a moment & reminded her:tumhara birthday thodi hai.
Geet desperately:pr mujhe abhi gift chahey.Gift men mujhe Promise chahey Pari.promise me tum kbhi bhi nhi roo gi,aur naa hi papa ko kbhi tng krogi,naa kbhi un pe gussa ho kr unse jhgra krogi.achi bchi ki trhan papa ki sb baat manogi.Promise
Pari unaware of real fact,smiled:bs itna simple gift?Promise!
She softly kept hand on Pari eyes:so jao Pari.
Pari gave her sleepy smile & patted empty place beside her:tum bhi jaldi aao.
"ab men kbhi nhi aaungi"Instead of giving answer of her innocent demand loudly she remain silent.
Keeping all her belongings in her bag in last she opened small pocket of it where those two "masks" were secured.With them she kept 3 stolen button of Maan's shirt.
She picked Pari secret alarm clock teddy & kept it in bag.Closing it zip she slowly walked out from da governess room to Pari room.She softly kissed her forehead in a silent good bye & went out quickly as possible.
Reaching at Maan's closed bedroom she creased its softly & dn walked away from there..out of da house, before she lost the courage.
----
1 month later
Maan cell rang & principal of Geet college finally told her:Sir Geet ka pta chl gya hai.
From last 3o days his ears were dying to hear these words.The piercing pain he felt on her sudden disappearence couldnt express in words.On that morning he found only a handwritten note from her which had not a single clue of her future cooarse...It was her confession for court of her tricking him in marriage,by uisng false accusation.So he can easily end their marriage in her absence.
Day & Night,each moment he searched for her crazily.He contacted all her friends in London wid help of Shefali but found no result.He didnt troubled her parents by telling them truth but personally & secretly he contacted her neighbours & college,school principals.
Maan:kahan hai?London men?Wo theek to hai naa?
Principal:No Mr.Khuranna she is not here.Aaj subha uski call aai thi mere pass.wo kisi school men job kr rhi hai uske lye use character certificate chahey.
Maan:Konse school men?
Principal:She si in Shimla.
Maan cut da call,Saleel approached him in worry:pta chl gya Geet ka?
Maan finally let out his breath:wo Shimla men hai.Thank God wo theek hai.men abhi Shimla ja raha hun.
Saleel:men sath chlun?
Maan looked gratefully to his friens & shook his head in No:tumne buht kuch kya hai meri zindagi smbhalne k lye.ab men apni zindagi ko khudi wapis launga.
Saleel.smiled & patted his shoulder:All da best Maan.
Maan eyes noticed Pari little face peeping inside study room.Ofcourse sound of Geet name caused her to stop.He went near her & bent on his knees.Pari wid red nose & angry tone:Geet mil gai?
Maan nodded:wo mil gai.
Pari on da urge in crying,angrily ordered:usko bolna usne papa se naa naraz hone ka promise lya tha.us se nhi! usko bolna Pari us se buht gussa hai,buht naraz hai.aur Pari us se kbhi baat nhi kreygi.
Maan:bikul theek hai.pr ye sb aap usko khud bolna.
Pari innocently pleaded:aap usko le aaoge naa wapis?please usko le aana papa.

Geet locked da door of her house behind her.She turned,her things dropped from her hands on finding Maan in this house,coming out of Rudar room.
Hia eyes met wid her & just her sight felt like rain for his deserted heart.Dressed in lose sikrt & shirt,her hairs wer tied in simply pony tail.She kept staring him in shock as he slowly approached her.His eyes didnt blink for a moment like drinking her forever.Maan:mene kitna intezar kya tha tumhara,mujhe lga tha tum aaogi.phir tum kyun nhi aai?kahan chli gai thi tum?

Few months later
Geet:oouch mom,aaram se krona.
Amrit combing her haira:aaram ki bchi.balo ka hshar dekho kya kr lya hai.bhar bhar k oil lge ga.
Geet:oil..eww.
Maan who was watching mom & daugter from outside,walked inside & picked little Raj in arms:ye to aap ki beti ka riz ka kaam hai.dinner lg gya,sb wait kr rhe hein.
Amrit asked:Geet k papa aagaey?
Maan:jii wo mere sath hi the.
Pari came inside runing ,kissing Raj in his papa arms:saleel chachu ka beta zyada zor se hsta hai.
ye kyun nhi hsta.
Maan:ye chota hai abhi.
Pari:uff to ye kb bda hoga?
Maan:khanna kha kr:khanna kha kr.aao bhi.ab khanna khao.
Geet pulled her closer by holding her hand:pehle yahan aao,kya haal kya hua hai balo ka.
Pari:oouch.
Geet:aaj trip pr ja kr to.balo ka hshr hi kr lya.bhar bhar k oil lge ga.
Pari:oil?eww
Geet turned red as As Maan & Amrit gave her teasing smile.
Maan smile vanished as his eyes noticed tawiz wid black thread in Pari neck. The same tawiz, baba ji gave in Shimla to him & Geet, when they were dating. She used to wear it all the time. .Maan in shock:ye locket tumhe pass kaha se aaya?
ye kisne dya hai.
Pari:Geet ne.
Maan in disbelief:ye tumhare pass kahan se aaya.
Geet confuse on his odd behaviour:Pari trip pr janne ki zid kr rhi thi,ia halt men men to sath ja nhi skti to mene ye apna locket nikal kr Pari ko pehna dya.
Amrit getting wrong meaning from Maan shocking expressions,tried to make him understand:mujhe pta hai aaj kl kahan in sb bato pr buht belive krte hen.8 saal pehle Geet ka buht bura accident hua tha.4 mahene tk coma men rhi thi.doctors ne to bikul jawab de dya tha.London se India tk hum ne koi mandir nhi choda.Phir Shimla k ek mandir k pass se mujhe ye locket milla th.ise pehna kr to jese maricale hogya.meri bchi mujhe wapus mill gai.isko kitna kehti thi k pehn kr rkho par ye fashion.
She added wid a laugh:ab khud maa bni hai to pta chla.
Geet who had no interest in their convo,was busy in tieing Pari hairs.Pari took Raj in her little hands:Raj ko bhi le kr jana hai.
Amrit got up:lao men pkrti hun beta.tum lig bhi jaldi bahir aao.She took childrens wid her.
Geet checking her cell,laughed:Shefali ki zid pr do din aur ruk rahe hein apne honeymoon pr.tum Jay ko dantna mt.
Maan was lost in his own world. From years back his wife words were ringing in his ears, Het words he clearly remembered "tum wahan aajao,phir meri nishani tumhe khud tk pouhncha degi"
Now he understand...
Geet had threw her tawiz out of window for Maan clue dts y he didnt find it on her dead body.
Geet kept hand on his chest:kya hua?
He shook his head in no.
She wrapped arm aroud his neck:I love you.
He looked at her face lovingly, his lips stretched in soft smile: I love you too. Tum se bhi zyada.
Geet chuckled: oh realy...kya proof hai?
He softly whispered: yakeen hai...ab yakeen hai. tbhi to tum yahan ho.
He pulled her in hug.
His eyes went to beautiful pic of his early geet which Geet insisted to hang in their bedroom.
