Ch#5
Shefali:tu ne to Heer aur Soni ka bhi record tor dya.Log ishq men jaan dete hen par koi governess bn skta hai wo mene pehli baar dekha.
Geet threw her last necessary stuf inside da suitcase & closed it zip: mene btaya na,ye sb khud he hogya mera intention nhe tha.men sirf pari se milne gai thi unhune mujhe candidate smjh lya.
Shefali lifted up her glasses: to tu mna bhi to kr skti thi..kbhi kisi bche ko smbhala hai?tujhe to khud governess ki zrurt hai.
Geet turned away from her & walked to dresser. Brushing her silky hairs she argued wid a pout: agr ye sb keh kr mna krti to sb ko yakeen a jata men kuch bhi nhe kr skti? I am gud for nothing.
Shefali walked to her: wo to sb ko ab bhi pta chl jaeyga..God Geet tum ek din bhi nhe tiko gi. Is se pehle wo tumhe khud nikale tum please khud mna krdo.
Geet frowned: ji nhi.mene Purvi ma'm ko bta dya tha mujhe koi experience nhe. Phir bhi Unhune ne kaha itna mushkil nhe hai.A ur wese bhi its only temporary. kuch din ki baat hai jb tk unhe koi best governess nhe mil jati. .
Shefali:tum kyun kr rhe ho aesa?
Geet eyes met wid Shefali in mirror in shock. Perhaps da answer was "Maan" or "Pari" or maybe her stupidity but instead she remain quiet luked away. Shefali:tumhe yad hai na,tum yahan model bne aai ho. Aur agr tum aaj kal free bhi ho to tumhe job krne ki koi zrurt nhe hai. Kyunke is salary se zyada to tumhara weekly khrcha hai.
Geet sighed: men raat se tumhe bta kr thk chuki hun.
Draging her bag she went to door when Shefali soft voice stopped her: take care.
Dropping her stuff she ran back & hugged Shefali who was nt able to hold her tears anymore. Geet: mujhe pta hai tu khush hai sare bed par akele mze se soe gi. .Par zyada din k lye nhe.I ll be back soon.
Fresh tears slipped down from Shefali eyes. Instead of her carefree attitude she could read pain in her shining eyes. She only whispered back:i ll be waiting Geet. .Sb kuch ache se khtm kr k aana. Life kisi ek par khtm nhe hoti.
Geet withdrew herself. This time didnt able to mask her emotions. Wid her sad,disappointd face she luked like a broken butterfly..like a lost wing. After a long silence Shefali sequezed her hands & in a silent promise Geet nodded & walked out of Shefali sight.
The thought made her panic"Will she able to return same Geet after spending 24/7 under one roof wid da man. .love of her life?"

"ye mera graduation ka certificate aur character certificate, fine arts aur dance class k certificates bhe isi file men hen. .recent photo shoot bhe attach hai aage" As Purvi only stared at her instead of luking through file Geet in confusion added: modeling k time par yehi sb mangte hen. .to mujhe lga. U know mujhe zyada experience nhe hai.
Purvi kept da file aside: is sb ki koi zrurt nhe hai.
Geet paniced: par mujhe to yehe sb aata hai..I mean mujhe khana pkana etc nhe aata.
Purvi: pkana nhe,tumhara kaam sirf khilana hai. Pari time se kha rhi hai, parh rhe hai so rhe hai ye sb dkhna hai.
Geet: ye sb to ho jaey ga,koi mushkil nhe.
Seeng Geet such real,b right smile Purvi lips too stretch.
It was tears of pain or Joy she didnt knew.Sight of her had opened da wound of her heart in such way. .That could be sooth by pulling her in hug,to consider her "her Geet"
As Geet watched her in confusion she quickly blinked away da tears,pasted a smile:par shayd itna bhe asan nhe.itni governess ko bhga chuki wo pehle.
Saleel sudden voice took ladies attention as he approached breakfast table:but i am sure Miss Geet nhe bhagne wali..ab itni old,fat governess rkho ge to aesa he ho ga na.Men to kb se keh rha tha governess khubsurt honi chahey,take Pari bhi khush aur Pari k chachu bhi.
Instead of getting embarrased Geet teased him back:aap ko kisi k khubsurt hone se Kitna fark pdta hai wo mujhe Jay bta chuka hai.
Saleel dramatically sigh & complained to Purvi: dekha. .muni bdnam hui darling tere lye.Ab to ladkyan meri flirtng ko bhe serious nhe leti.
Purvi slapped his arm while Geet musical laughter echoed around.They took their steamy coffee in friendly manner.After asking questions about her family she asked:tum modeling k lye aai thi na India. .to kya ab irada bdl gya?
Geet became pause on her sudden question:irada to ab bhi hai. .just waiting for best opportunity.
Saleel:par men puri koshish kr rha hun. .Irada bdlne ki Maan kaa.
The understndng in Saleel eyes made her feel exposed.She abruptly: koi zrurt nhe. .I mean mere pass offer hai.Just waitng for da wound to heal..
And dn to clear her intentions she came wid a lie:wo mujhe paiso ki zrurt thi.Aur is se zyada achi temporary job mujhe nhe mil skti.
Sensing her discomfort Purvi instantly changed da topic:ye to men tumhe dena bhul he gai.
She handed her paper: ye hai time table.Is k according hi Pari k sb kaam hone chahey.
Geet amazed read da 1st line: Breakfast 8:15?
Saleel:hun. .Now is 8. Sirf 15 minutes hen.Aur Pari ko uthane men utni he deyr lgti hai jitni sulane men. .Ek ghanta to kahi nhe gya.
Geet eyes wided & she instantly got up.Purvi:arey coffee to khtm kro apni.
Saleel laughed as she ran away in direction of her bedroom.
Reading da paper deeply Geet ran upstair & in a way bump into Maan.Her eyes lifted up while da sest of her remain frozed.The sight of him dressed in dark blue suit wid da after shave musk in air was enough to stole her sense.And dn feeling warmth of his breath her heart beat in unbelvble speed.His clentched jaw & penetrating gaze was enough to woke da dead so she too Woke up.
She took a back down step on stairs,in attempt to maintain da distance between them.She tried to pass from da left side & dn his right side but da space was nt enough for her. Finally helpless she gave him too biG smile "Good Morning" in attempt to check 'Is he realy awake?'
In speed of light he passed away from her almost coliding wid her shoulder. His rude action instead of offending her sent a strange shiver in her. Her lips twitched in silly smile who knows Mr.Khuranna can show anger in such childish antics?
Her smile sequeezed back as her eyes fall back on time table in hand & slapping her head she ran to Pari room.
~*~
Geet pulled blanket from Pari & wid all her effort she pulled it back.Geet sat next to her on bed: please uth jao,school k lye late ho rha hai.
Pari raised blanket from her face & in a whisper share a secret: yehi to men chahti hun.Late ho jaey ga phr men school nhe jaungi.Aur phir hum dono mze se khelenge.
Stunned on her plan Geet opened her mouth to argue bt dn decided to chose da tricky way.S he too lay down wid her: theek hai. .phir jitna khelna hai aaj he khel lena. Phr to chance milne wala nhe hai.
She turned on her stomach & rested her little hand under her chin:kyun?
Geet innocently: kyunke agr tumhara school miss hogya to tumhare papa mujhe job se nikal denge.aur phir tumhare lye new governess dhundhege.
Pari sat up in worry.Geet:aaram se leto,abhi to tumhare papa ghar men hen.Wo jate hen hum phr khelte hen.
Pari shook her head & jumped down from bed: nhi men school chli he jati hun. Jaungi tbhi to wapis aaungi na?
Geet controlling her smile,noded in agreement. She took her pink towel but stopped at washroom door: wow kal to sunday hai.Hum aaj k hisse ka bhi kal khelenge.
And in excitment she walked back & sat on bed: kal hum hide & seek khelenge. .Aur
shaking her head Geet got up & pulled her along:ye sb tumhare school se aane k baad discuss krenge.
Pari:par tb buht late ho jaeyga.agr men bhool gai to?
Geet handed her tooth brush:jao gi tb he to aao gi na?Aur dnt worry,men yaad dila dungi.
Pari gawked wid brush in mouth:promise?
Geet:haan Promise.
Their voice echoed outside of room which made Rudar smile who was standing outside of her room.
~*~
Picking da dinner tray Geet walked out of kitchen.She bit her lip as clicking of her heels echoed around in silent living area. As she reached to stairs Maan thundering voice broke da silence:Stop there.
She stopped & slowly turned to face da dining table.Maan: ye khana kahan le ja rhi ho?
Geet:Pari k lye. .abhi tution ka kaam khtm kr k wo game khelne lgi hai.neeche nhe aa rhi.
Purvi came wid dishes & pointed toward dining chair: acha chlo phr tum to dinner kr lo.
Geet:thanks.men bhi Pari k sath hi kha rhi hun.Aap khaeyn.
She turned to walk upstair but Maan voice again stopped her:mene jane ko nhe kaha.
He stood up:i know u r nt experienced par mujhe nhe pta tha tumhe basic ettiqts bhi nhe aate.Agr tumhe nhe aate to men smjha deta hun.Khate to dunya men sbhi hen.Par insan apne bche ko manners k sath khilate hen.Yehi fadak hai insaan aur janwar men.Agr use dinner krna hai to wo yahan dining par aai gi.Yehi rules hen.
Purvi luked Geet in worry.Saleel glared him on using such harsh words while Rudar quitely watched them.
Geet turned & dis time direct look in Maan burning eyes: bcho ko bche is lye kehte hen kyunke wo naa smjh hote hen.ja unhe apne khane peene ka he khyal nhe hota to ye dunya k dikhave bazi ka kya ehsas hoga?Insaan ka farz hai k wo apne bchon ko dunya men rehne k treqe sikhaey. .janwar bhi sikhatey hen.Par Janwar "Bhi"
apne bche ko khali peyt nhi sone dete. .ye to aap ko pta hi hoga Mr.Khuranna.
Their heated eye lock broke by Rudar amazed voice:Absolutely right.
He calmly added:khanna thanda ho rha hai.Enjoy dinner.
Giving him a hesitate smile Geet ran upstair.Maan barked:ye kya tha dad?Aap ko pta hai na Pari khane ki kitni chor hai Wo mere samne to khati nhi,apne room men khale gi?
Rudar: haan khale gi.mujhe yakeen hai.
Maan snapped:par mujhe nhi.
Leaving his plate untouched he ran upstairs.Saleel got up to walk behind him but Rudar signaled him to sit back.
Geet set da tray on table & sat down on pink carpet,near da edge of barbie bed where Pari was layng on her elbow,playing her video game.Geet:baad men khelte hen na.abhi dekho khana thanda ho rha hai.
Pari gave a glare to plate:eww. .men rice nhe khati.bs magie khati hun.
Geet:ab roz magie thodi khati hen.Ye plate to finish krni pade gi.Agr aese wapis le kr gai to tumhare papa gusse honge na.
Pari shook her head,engrossed in game:dustbin men phenkh do.Jb mujhe kuch nhe khana hota to men aese he krti hun.
Maan who was watching them from da slightly open door,waited patiently to catch Geet red-handed.Ofcourse infront of 'little stubborn Khuranna' what other option she had expect to throw it in dustbin or out of window to safe her pride?
He watched curiously as she got up & took out ketchup satchet from her purse.With Maan she got Pari attention too as she made eyes,nose & lips wid da help of ketchup on rice plate.And dn she took a big mouthful spoon of it "yum"
To Pari questioning gaze she replied:rice ache kisko lgte hen par tumhe pta hai isme ek magic hai.
Pari beautifull eyes rounded:wo kya?
Geet made her sit:isme agr aese ketchup se teddy bna kr khao to next day ek teddy milta hai.
Pari excitedly:realy?
Geet nodded:tumhe chahey?to tumhare lye bhi aesi plate bna dun?
She nodded & sequeld in excitement as Geet made a funny face on it.She giggled as Geet took spoon from her hand:eyes nhe khao gi to wo dekhe ga kahan se?
Maan stunned watched as soon she nearly finish da complete plate.The way she was feeding her wid affection & those twinkle eyes suddenly brought a memory. . .He made her sit & slipped their infant baby in her arms.Geet eyes filled wid joy of tears:ye kitni pyari hai bilkul Pari jesi.
He wrapped arms around her:to ye hai hi hmari Pari.
Hugging her to her bosoms she sniffed in Maan chest.She could hear the joy of dis golden moment in his heart beat'i love you Maan'He kissed her forehead:i love you too Geet.
His spell broke because of noise of plates.And dn Geet eyes finally noticed him.As their eyes met Maan slipped from there and came downstair.His frustation written on his face.
Purvi:aaj sara din us se baat kr k mujhe aesa lgta hai jese men apni Geet se baat kr rhi hun..Suna tha ek shkal k kai log ho skte hen. .par is trhan se Geet mujhe dubara mil skti hai mujhe to yaken he nhe aa rha.Wo bilkul hmari Geet jesi hai buht masoom.
Saleel:jb use mene pehli bar dekha tha to mujhe sirf ek he khyal aaya tha k ye Maan k saat saal bhaey hue aansun ka sila hai. .
Purvi:aur jb use pta chle ga wo hmari Geet jesi dikhti hai.
Before Saleel could answer Maan roared snapped their attention:use kbhi pta nhe chle ga.
They stood up reading burning anger on Maan face:mere mna krne k bawajud,sb kuch janne k bawjud bhi. .Kya lgta hai aap logo ko?Same shkal aur naam hone se koi meri Geet nhe bn skti,us ki jga nhe le skti.
RUDAR interrupted him:hum ne kb kaha hai wo Geet hai?Naa to hum tumhe keh rhe hen use Geet ki jga do.Usne Pari ki jaan bchai hai,hme governess ki zrurt hai aur uski Pari se dosti hai wo use smbhal skti hai. .In sb men tumhe kya problem hai?
After a long silence Maan stormed out of house.Saleel guilty:Geet ko dekh kr uska dard aur bhi brh raha hai.Shayd hm galt kr rhe hen.Mujhse uska dard aur brdasht nhe hota.
RUDARmujhse bhi. .Islye. .Ye ladki ab yahan se jani nhe chahey.
Purvi luked him confused.Saleel reading his intentions:Uncle ye sb itna asan nhe hai.
RUDARis se zyada asan ho bhi nhe skta..Kismat ne mujhe dubara mauka dya hai.men is bar apne bete ki khushyan hath se jane nhe dunga.
Saleel reminded:agr beta chahega to na?
RUDARwo men khud dkh lunga. .bs Purvi tum maid,nhi do maids rkh do uski help k lye par koi galte na ho us se.Koi bahana mt dena Maan ko use nikalne ka..
Saleel & Purvi luked eachother & chosed to remain silence.Father or Son. .let see who will fate chose as winner?
It was no proud of wining but da emotion she felt on finding him there was totally hurt.To find him spy on her she felt truly insulted.Will she ever find da reason behind his anger?What wrong she did to deserve such mistrust & hatness?
Pari came out of washroom after getting dressed in her barbie night suit.Geet thoughts broke as Pari little palm touch her forehead:sb kehte hen mere sath reh kr koi bhi beemar ho jaey..tumhe bukhar hogya?
Geet smiled & pulled her in lap:beemar nhe.men soch rhi thi.
Pari:Kya?
She pulled her in lap:yehi k Itne sadu papa ki baby itni pyari kese ho skti hai?
She giggled as Geet tickled her & dn her tounge slipped:tum zrur apni mom jesi hogi.
Pari shudred:i dnt know.
Geet let her go from lap but cudnt control her curiousty: tumhar mom buht khubsurt hogi na?
Pari slipped under blanket:dnt know. .mene dekha nhi kbhi.
Befor Geet could questioned she replied:photo men bhi nhi. .Jb papa aur dadu Shimla se Delhi aaey the to bag kho gya tha.Jis men mom ki sari photos thi.
White lie. .but enough to fool a child.
And dn Pari added:jb mujhe pta chla tha tb men buht roi thi.Par Saleel chachu ne kaha agr men achi bchi bnugi to bhgwan meri mom ko wapis kr denge.Par men achi bchi bn nhe pati . .naa to meri mom wapis aaeyngi aur na hi mujhe pta chle ga wo kesi dikhti thi?
Geet heart ached to saw sadness on her beautiful innocent face.She turned her back to Geet pulling blanket up to her face.Turning da lights off Geet open da door which was attatching her(governess) & Pari room.
~*~
Dressed in her night knee shirt she stared herself in mirror.The white silk fabric was doing nthng to hide her delicious curves.She brushed her silky hairs & applied lotion on her creamy bare legs.The wound had finally strarted to heal so she ddnt go for bandage again.While luking at herself da thought again strike:kesa hoga wo chehra. .Jis par tum dil haare?
Shaking her head she got up.She was nt able to sleep.To confirm da reason of her uneasinss she call her mom:hi mom.
Rano :mom ki bchi,yaad aa gai maa ki?
Geet:yaad to tb aaey gi na jb men aap ko bhulu gi.
Rano :acha ji.
Geet:mujhe aap se kuch pouchna hai. .Jb koi bcha buht udas ho to wo kya so jata hai? . .I mean jb men choti thi,aur koi cheez mujhe buht preshan krti thi to kya men so jati thi?
Rano smiled on da flood of memories:itni shareef nhe thi tum. .Sari raat ro ro kr pillow bhego deti thi.Islye jb bhi mujhe lgta tha tumhe koi preshani hai to men tumhare saat soti thi.
Aur tumhe fairy tales suna kr distract krti thi.
Geet:acha. .
Rano teased:aur phir nai musibt hoti thi. subha uth te hi tum mere peche padh jati thi mujhe story wala prince la kr do.
Geet too laugh wid her mom:i love u mom. .I realy love you.
Rano puzzled on her emotional tone:itna emotional buttering?Kahi tumhe koi prince mil hi to nhe gya?Meri ekloti beti hai. .Ek hi ek damad hoga.Jb tk mujhe pasand nhe aaey ga. .
Geet:aesi baat nhe he mom. .Late hogya men aap se kal bat krungi.Good night.
Pari opened her teary eyes as Geet slipped wid her in bed.She sat up in shock:ye kya kr rhi ho?Papa Governess ko mere room men nhe sone dete.Apne room men jao.
She had successfuly wiped away her tears but her nose was still red.Geet chosed to respect her pride:governess nhe friend to so skti hai na?Aur tumhare papa ko btay ga kon?
She pulled Pari back:aur mujhe wese bhi ek problem hi.Mujhe jb tk neend nhe aati jb tk men kisi ko story nhe sunati.Tumhe story sun kr neend aati hai?
Pari thoughtfully:dnt know. .Mujhe kbhi koi story sunata he nhi.
Geet:acha?To phir hum try krte hen.
Geet started reading Cinderella online from her cell."After her mother died,her father gt married & dn cinderella live with her new mom & two sisters.
Hearing Pari"WoW" Geet lowered her cell"ye wow bolne wali nhe Haww bolne wali baat hai.
Pari in her cute accent:kyun?Uske papa kitne ache hen uske lye new mom le aaey.
Geet shocked:bde ache papa hen?Age suno. .wo kitna mare gi Cinderalla ko us se kitna kam kre gi.
Pari in horror:agr men dusri mom mngaun ki to wo bhi mujhe mare gi?
Geet cupped her cheek & kissed her forhead:mere hote hue koi meri pyari cinderalla ko mar skta hai?Chodo story sunno. .
.
.
Geet heavy eyelids open before closing properly because of Pari shaking.Geet sleepy:end hogya.Ab so jao meri cinderella.Pari in worry:par men to Cinderella bn he nhi skti.mere pass to silver sandal hai hi nhi. .to wo gum kese hogi?Aur phir prince usko dekh kr mujhe dhunde ga kese.
Geet smiled on her innocence & pulled her close:hm shopping par jaeynge to hr colour ki sandal ley aeynge.Ab so jao.
Pari wid a grin closed her eyes & wrapped her little arm around her.
~*~
The house was in deep sleep.After spending lonely hours on da far deserted hill he returned after midnight.Quietly he entered & took stairs to his room.But before he opened da door of Pari room to offer her daily night rituals.He quietly walked inside da dark room & reached to bed.He slowly pulled da blanket down & his strong hand softly creased her silky hairs.
Geet eyes shot up but da scream some how lost in her throat recognizing da unforgtble colonge. .strong,spicy.Feeling warmth of his breath on her face she pushed him back before Maan could kiss his "supposed daughter"
Maan instantly press da button of light on nearby wall & da sight made his eyes wide in horror.Clentching blanket to her chest Geet started him in fear.Her hairs wild,eyes sleepy & rosy lips trembling. .an unbelvble sexy sight.But at dt time it was only anger which flickered in his brown eyes:What da hell u r doing here?
Geet instantly covered Pari ear:aahista bolo Pari jaag jaey gi.
And next it was nt voice bt only action.He grabbed her arm & harshly pulled her out of bed which cause her blanket slipped.In abrupt standing her shirt raised up her thigh & slipped from her one shoulder.Her eyes filled wid tears of pain,pain nt just of his hold but of her injured grace:chodo mujhe. .
Instead of hearing her he pulled her along to attached governess room.The nearby table hit her knee hard.He took her sudden rubber legs as stubborness so he pushed her inside.Unable to compose her balance she fall on carpet.Closing da door behind to Pari room he snapped:tum smjhti kya ho khud ko?tumhari himat kese hui meri beti k sath sone ki?Mene pehle bhi tumhe smjhaya hai apni hd men raho tum.
men tum se baat kr rha hun. .Jawab do.
On his commanding roar she luked up & pushed away hair strands from her wet face.And than he noticed blood on her palm and his eyes lowered to found da source. .Which was broken stich on her exposed leg.
As he took a step toward her she jerked back,shivering like a leaf in wind.She luked up as he bent his knees near her.Her heart hammerd badly.Luking da bleeding wound deeply he asked:utho.
Her senses was not working to saw such foul mood of handsome monster.His grew shave,ruffled hairs & blood red eyes wid hint of alcohol in breath made her stomach twist in stomach.Constantly pulling her shirt to cover her bare thigh she whisperd:nhi uth skti.
Her gasp echoed around as his strong arms carried her up.Her heart almost stop to beat when her ears felt his enchanting heart beat.Her eyes were closed or she forgt to blink. .She didnt knew.It was only him wid her in world of cloud wid lots of stars,Like her dreams.Spell of his proximity broke when he put her down on bed.She bit her lip as da pain shot through her.She leaned back to bed head breathlessly.He took out aid box & went to her.Sound of her sobs started to raise by each passing second.
She jerked up as he started cleaning her wound.She bent her leg back unable to bare da pain.She became frozed as his hand touch her & again straightnd her leg.Her nails remain pressed in his flesh as he bandaged it again after putting ointment."ab theek hai?"
Warmth of his masculine voice sank into her.She lifted up her eyelashes to meet his eyes & da concern there stole her breath.The man sitting infront of her suddenly transformd into knight to whom she lost her heart 4 years ago.No walls of attitude,No fake harshness just a golden heart wid honest golden eyes.She slowly nodded hypnotize to dis moment.
He got up & stretched blanket on her.
"Sorry" He didnt said. .didnt asked but she could read it on his handsome face.She felt her soul slipped from her body to him as he turned to walk away.
"Maan" For da moment da world stopped to him as he heard his name in HER voice."men. .mujhe nhe pta tha aap Pari k room men aate ho raat men. .men .Wo so rhi thi,ro rhi thi apni mom ko yaad kr k to. .
"tum uski maa nhi ho" His tone was unusually polite.He turned to luk at her.And for a moment she witness helpness there just alike her.
Unasked questions. .Unspoken answers & dn he left.
Brust into tears she lay on bed.Her arms wrapped around herself,might da action secure pieces of her shattered heart.She finally admitted:mere prince mujhe mil gya mom. .Par phir bhi wo mujhe kbhi nhe mil skta.Kyunke wo already kisi ka hai.
