TWO DAYS LATER
Location: HANDA INDUSTRIES HEAD OFFICE, MUMBAI
Savitri Devi, Sumitra and Maan reached Handa Industries to find it decorated with flowers toran and rangoli made at main entrance from flowers. Savitri Devi and Sumitra were given a warm welcome by the peon.
"Ram Bharose,aaj itni chel-phel kyun hai?" (Ram Bharose why is there so much decoration?)
"Maaji, aaj Geet bitiya ka daftar mei pehla din hai. Yeh Maan baba hain?" (Ram Bharose said looking at Maan) (Ma'am today its Ms. Geet's first day at work. Is this is Master Maan?) Savitri nodded affirmative.
"Chalo hummei Geet ke paas le chalo!"(Oh Yes! Please take us to Geet.)
Ram Bharose guided them to the MD's cabin. He opened the door to see Geet doing aarti in front of small Siddhi Vinayak's idol. Then she went and bowed her head in front of a large potrait of a couple. Maan guessed that they must be Geet's parents.
Geet turned and was surprised to see Savitri Devi, Sumitra and Maan. "Dadimaa aur Badi Maa aap yahaan kaise? Bade Papa theek toh hain?" (Dadimaa and Badi Maa, how come you are here? I hope Bade Papa is fine.)
"Beta, sab theek hain. Hum aapko wapis ghar le jaane aaye hain!" (Everyone is fine. We have come to take you home.)
"Ghar? Magar mera ghar toh yeh hai."(Home? But I'm already at home.)
"Hum jaante hain beta. Magar abb tum Khurana Khandaan ki bahu ho beta aise kaise apna ghar chodkar aa sakti ho?" (I know dear but you are daughter-in-law of Khurana family so how can you leave your home?)
"Dadimaa, aap please samjhane ki koshish kariye ki abb hum uss ghar mei nahin reh sakte. Bachpan ki baat aur thee?" (Dadimaa, please try and understand, I can't stay in Khurana Mansion. When I was a child it was different.)
"Kyun beta?" (Why?)
"Iske duo karan hain-- pehla ki humare aane se Khurana parivaar mei tanaav paida hota hai aur abb humara uss ghar par koi haq nahi!" (For two reasons-- one by my coming the family atmosphere gets tense and second that I have no right!)
"Yeh kya keh rahi hai laado?" (What do you mean?) Sumitra said with tears in her eyes.
"Accha yeh sab baatein baad mei karenge pehle aap mujhe apna aashirwaad dijiye ki aaj mera pehla din hai Papaji ke daftar mein!" (Ok we will talk later. Please give me your blessings for first day at Papaji's office.)Geet bent and took Savitri Devi and Sumitra's blessings. "Abb bataayi ki aap kya lengi? Chai? Coffee? Juice? Yaa kuch aur?" (Now what would you like to have? Tea? Coffee? Juice? Or something else?)
"Hum sirf tumhein ghar le jaana chahte hai!"(We only want to take you home.)
"Dadimaa, Badi Maa aap..." (Dadimaa, Badi Maa you...)
"Enough Geet! What do you think of yourself my grandmother and mother are requesting you to come home and you are showing attitude?" Maan erupted who was sitting patiently so far despite of being ignored by three ladies.
"Kyun attitude dekhane ka copyright sirf aapke paas hai?" (Why its only your copyright to show attitude?) Geet said in an angry voice.
Savitri Devi and Sumitra glared at Maan. Geet ordered three masala teas for the ladies and one black coffee for Maan with snacks. After tea and coffee before the arguement could resume, Maan spoke,"Geet tum meri patni ho aur mai tumhei ghar le jaane aaya hoon. Please humare saath ghar chalo! Aur agar tum pyaar se nahi aayeen toh mai zabardasti utthakar le jaaonga!" (Geet you are my wife and I have come to take you home. Please come home with us. If you don't come willingly, I take you forcibly!)
"Zabardasti aur cheene ke siwaye aapko aata hi kya hai?" Geet said with tears in her eyes. (Besides getting your thing forcibly what else do you know?)
"Geet Maan ki taraf se hum maafi maangte hain. Aap ghar chaliye!" (Geet I ask forgiveness on Maan's behalf! Please come home) Savitri Devi said with folded hands.
"Dadimaa, please humare saamne haath jodkar hummei paap ka bhaagi matt bannaye. Hum aap dono ka bahut samaan karte hain. Kewal humare ek prashan ka uttar dijiyeki agar jo inhone abhi tak humare saath kiya hai agar aapki sagi beti ke saath uske pati ne kiya hota toh kya aap unhei maaf kar deti?" (Dadimaa, please don't beg in front of me and make me a sinner! I respect you both a lot, but just answer my one question that if your own biological daughter had to go through whatever I have gone through till now will you still send her back to her husband's home?)
"Maine aise kya gunah kiya hai ki tum mere parivaar se maafi magwa rahi ho." (What crime have I done that you are making my family ask for forgiveness?) Looking at Savitri Devi & Sumitra he continued,"Iss ghamandi ladki se baat karna hi phisool hai. Chaliye ghar chalte hain. Isse divorce chahiye toh main divorce ke papers par sign kar deta hoon!" (There is no use talking to this egoist girl. She wants divorce, I'll sign the divorce papers!)
A week passed, but Maan was unable to sign the divorce papers! His heart ruled his logic. However, he was very irritated with Geet's behaviour. She refused to talk to anyone in Khurana family. The lover in Maan wanted so much to go and propose to Geet but seeing Geet's attitude and indifference towards him, Maan's ego refuse to bend.
One day when Khurana family i.e. Savitri Devi, Sumitra and Maan were leaving KC, they banged into Mrs. Kulkarni. Savitri Devi, and Mrs. Kulkarni were old acquaintences and had met each other a number of times at conferences and seminars conducted for Women and child welfare! Hence, Savitri Devi started chatting with Mrs. Kulkarni. During their conversation, Mrs. Kulkarni suddenly said,"Mrs. Khurana, times have changed. It is so difficult to know who are your friends and who are your enemy? Your enemies are amongst you and you cannot see them."
"Yes very true, Mrs. Kulkarni?"
"You know Mrs. Khurana we had a young girl Ms. Gina Braganza who had a very promising career but life is not so easy for women now-a-days. If they protect themselves by not going out for late night official dinners they are considered unprofessional and if they do, it costs them their virtue!"
"What do you mean?"
"It was the night of Khurana Constructions New Branch's Inaugration Party. Maan Sir and Gina did an extremely passionate dance on the dance floor. Maan Sir may recollect it. Maan Sir was getting extremely aggressive and volatile with each drink. So somehow Adi Sir and Romeo managed to take Maan Sir to his room after which we did not see Maan Sir for the rest of the evening. Gina was very upset and drawing undue attention due to her dance, beauty and single status. She was sitting in corner of the ballroom waiting for party to get over and ordered for an orange juice. But just in time Adi Sir and Romeo returned (after leaving Maan Sir in his room) saw the bar tender mixing a powder in Geet's drink and caught him red handed. On being beaten by the police, bar tender told that he was asked by Mr. Jaswant Chopra and his son, Rohit Chopra to administer this powder in drink of Maan Sir and Gina. They wanted to take revenge from Maan Sir for throwing them out of Malhotra Constructions and Rahul wanted Gina for his lust. When Adi asked the Police Inspector what effect this drug has? They said it makes men extremely aggressive and a woman may have difficulty in concieving. Also individual having it has no recollection what happened when he is under its influence. On the bar tender and gathered staff's statement, Police were easily able to arrest Mr. Jaswant Chopra and his son, Rohit Chopra. During this chaos when and where Gina had gone no one knew, so we assumed that Gina has gone home. Later around 2:00am when I was finishing accounts of party Gina stumbled out of the elevator in a mess. Her hair dishevelled, saree crumpled and torn at certain places, her lipstick smudged, her blouse torn and her kajal running with continous flowing tears.


At one glance I knew she has been r***d. I immediately covered with my stole and dropped her home in office car. On the way I asked her to file a police complain, but she said she is deeply under his (r****t) family's obligation. She didn't want a decent family's prestige and honour to be tarnished by their one family member's crime. After that she left KC and I have never seen her since."
Maan now understood what happened that night and why Geet is refusing to come near him and talk to him. He now understood the meaning of her words,"Zabardasti aur cheene ke siwaye aapko aata hi kya hai?" Maan was feeling so small and he could not even directly look into his grandmother and mother's eyes. Mrs. Kulkarni bid bye to Savitri Devi & Sumitra and left. Savitri Devi was about to sit in the car when she got a call. "Ram Bharose, pehle aap shaant huye. Haan hum abhi aa rahe hain."(Ram Bharose, calm down! We are just coming.)
"Maan, driver se kaho ki hum Handa Industries ke Head Office jaa rahe hain!" (Maan ask driver to take us to Handa Industries' Head Office.)
