Geet stood in the gurdwara ...praying
I know aap ko lagta huga na k kitni selfish larki hai jab kuch chahiye huta hai tab hi mere paas aati hai ...but aap jaante hain na mien humesha yaad karti hoon. Aur bache tu baron k paas hi aate hain na ..iss hi liye aayi hoon ..maan ki Khushi maangne ..uski kamyaabi mangne ...please babaji sab theek kar dejeye ..please
She moved to help the volunteer with the cleaning of the place and making of the food. After good 1 hour she decided to walk back to the chawl and collided with a lady at the entrance door ..
Sorry aunty ...wohh
She looked up only to see her own dadi ...her bebe standing there ...she smiled and went ahead to hug her but stopped seeing brij handa standing behind her ..
Bebe: geet bache kaisi hai tu ..
Geet ( smiled and held her hands): mien bilkul theek hoon bebe ...aap kaisi hain ..bhabi titu aur ...sab kaise hain ..
Bebe: tere bina sab udas hain par theek hain ..jee rahe hain ..tu bata ..itni kamzoor kyun lag rahi hai ..aur yeh kya haal banaya hai ...
Brij: bebe ...mujhe office jana hai ..rah chalet logoon se baad mien bhi baat kar sakte hain hum ..pehle mat'tha thek lejeye ..
Bebe: tere sahaare ki zarorat nahi hai mujhe ..jana hai tu jaa sakta hai ..(she held geets' hand and took her to a side) ...tu chal mere saath ..
They sat in a corner leaving a fuming brij behind and spoke for a long time about everyone at home ...
Humare baare mien tu sab pouch liya abb apne baare mien bata ..maan khayal tu rakhta hai na tera ..??
Bebe maan mera itna khayal rakhta hai jitna mene socha bhi nahi tha ...mien buhat khush hoon uske saath ..
Wohh tu dekh raha hai humien ..
Geet looked up to see Mohinder handa standing there with brij by his side ...she stood up totally forgetting all that has happened and went ahead to hug him but stopped listening to his next set of words ..
Kitna khayal rakhta hai tumhara dekh raha hai mujhe ...jis larki ko bachpan mien ek chot nahi lagne di aaj uske pair (legs) chile v hain (bruised) ...jis ko pariyon ki tarha palkoon p rakha wohh iss tarha dhool mien chal k aarahi hai .. geet mien apni zindagi ke pehle din se millionaire nahi tha but tumhain humesha best diaya mene aur tum ne ..kisi select kiya apne liye ...kya pehna hai tum ne ..kya haal hua tumhara ..iss liye hum sab k against gayi thi tum ...
Geet stood in front of him ignoring the pain in her legs holding back her tears ...
Yeh difference hai mujh mien aur aap mien... aap kabhi mujhe samjhe hi nahi ...mujhe Khushi aapke gift se iss liye nahi huti thi k who branded hain ya buhat expensive hain bulke is liye huti thi k wohh mere dad mere liye laaye hain ... aap ne mujhe chot s bachaya par zindagi ki sab se bari chot bhi apne hi di hai ... yes indeed I have a bruised leg and I have walked bare foot in this heat ...but mien khush hoon yeh kar ke kyun k yeh mene mere pati k liye kiya hai ...wohh insaan jo mujh se pyaar karta hai ..aur jiske pyaar mien sharten nahi hain ..
Zindagi bhar aapki har baat maani, aapki Khushi ke liye mene apni zindagi jee hai aur jab mene aapse apni ek Khushi mangle tu aap wohh bhi na de paye ...so yes mujhe yeh normal cotton saari ...bus mien travel karna ..chawl mien rehna sab buhat Khushi de raha hai coz iss mien kuch bhi fake nahi hai ...kuch bhi forced nahi hai ...mien khush hoon and for once aapko bhi iss baat ko maan lena chahiye ...may be for the first time in her life aapki beti khush hai dad ..
Nahi hoon mien tumhara baap ...
His high pitch attracted the attention of the people present there and so he lowered his voice neber loosing the edge and pointed his finger at her with pure anger in his eyes ..
Tum ne meri beti hone ka haq uss hi din kho diya jis din tum ne mujhe chor ke uss larke ko choose kiya ..
Mohinder kaisi batien kar raha hai ...beti hai teri ...khoon hai tera
Rehne dejiye bebe ...jo baap apni beti par goli chalwa sakta hai ..woh kuch bhi kar sakta hai ..
She turned towards her and took her blessings ..wiping her tears while embracing her ..
Chalti hoon mien ...aap apna khayal rakhna ..
She left while Mohinder stumbled and brij held his week figure ...just as geet walked out of the gurdwara bebe turned to Mohinder ..
Tu ne sach mien geet par goli chal wayi ...
Bebe tujhe lagta hai mien aisa karunga ..uss din wohh goliyan maan k liye thi ...guards ne geet ko notice nahi kiya ...mien kaisi apni pari par goli ...par uss ko tu lagta hai na ..us larke k pyar ki pati jo bandhi hai geet ki ankhoon p ..jab utri tu hi sach dekh payegi aur samajh payegi k uske papa ne sab kyun kiya ...
Bebe and Mohinder stood in silence and then walked ahead to pray while brij stood there smiling cunningly ...
Wah babaji aapne tu mera kaam aur asaan kar diya ...aaj tu sirf zubaan se beti maan'ne se inkaar kiya hai ...buhat jald Mohinder handa apni beti k naam shares bhi uss k naam se transfer karwayenge after all ...geet k naam p shares matlab khuranas k naam p handas k share ...dushman k paas humare shares ...
**^^**
Geet walked into chawl and a few ladies came forward and a girl ran up to call for Asha tai ..
Kya aap log aise ..
Asha Tai: Geet yeh kya teri chappal kahan hai ...??
Wohh tai ...mien ..woh
Tai mene tumko bola tha ...mene isko bina chappal hi bahar jaate dekha ...tab tum ne kaise bola k mera dimag kharaab ...
Dekh ab tu ...kaise pair jale hain ...
Geet tu bol beta yeh sab ..
Tai kuch bhi nahi hai ..aap log tu bas ...meien gurdwara gayi thii ...wahan meri chappal chori hugayi ..iss liye
Tu chal upar mere saath ..
Aur tum log jao apna apna kaam karo ..
Everyone disbursed murmuring ..
Pagal larki hai ..
Mien bol rahi hoon mene dekha usko bina chappal bahar jaate huye ..
Mene tai ko bola tha
Par abhi tu wohh kuch aur keh rahi hai
Jhoot bol rahi hai
Kyun kiya us ne aisa ..?
Kya pata hai tu yeh dono maan-geet pagal
Geet kya hai yeh sab ..

Tai held her ear and pulled her face down ..
Ahh tai ..
Tai se bhi jhoot bolegi tu abb ...sach sach bata gayi thi tu Bina chappal ..??
G ..wohh .. maan ki liye ..
Par ..
Tai please maan ko mat kahiyega ...buhat ghussa huga ..nahi samjhega wohh

**^^**
Geet was sitting on the dining table ever since asha tai left and kept praying for maan ...it was almost evening he was supposed to be back 3pm she was sweating in anticipation despite her bruised leg walking to and fro in the apartment. Finally not being able to handle her anxiousness she left and walked down stairs. Amid the chaos of the chawl she thought she would be able to forget her tension but all in vain in fact all the aunties only started inquiring her about why she was limping, what happened at the gurdwara of course everyone knew by now her sandals got robbed off there. Annoyed she started to go upstairs ..
Stupid ..idiot ..weirdo ..phone bhi pick nahi kar raha.. pata nahi kahan hai ...kya hua hai meeting mien ...maan I am gonna kill you this time ...babaji dekh lena aayega tu baat nahi karungi iss baar. Irresponsibility ki bhi hadd huti hai ...aur yeh tu ...//
Before she could complete her rant ..she was swiped off her feet ..with a shriek she held on to his shoulder screaming ..
Maan leave me ...
Geet ..I got the contract ... (he twirled her around in the small space of the stair case but his happiness was so infectious she smiled despite her discomfort) would you believe that ...I am so so so happy ...
Everyone present there smiled and laughed along with them and finally he put her down and rather than standing on her own ..she yelped and hugged him tight in pure delight ..
I knew it ..mujhe pata tha ..you will get it ...
Maan reciprocated her hug and held her to his dear life ...
Finally ...after all the struggle ..
He sighed in relief as if a mountain worth of load had been lifted off of his shoulder and just then geet parted and started hitting him ...smacking him literally ...
What the hell ...kya ...geet what are you ..
But she never stopped ..
You deserve it ... kab se call kar rahi hoon ...where the hell were you ..aur mujhe phone kyun nahi kiya ..idiot.. stupid ..pata hai kitni tension m thi ..
Ouch ...acha Sorry na ... wohh phone silent p tha mera ..
He held her hands and she stopped ...they both looked at each other and an instant smiled adorned their faces ...and finally they realized the audience they had to their moment ...blushing geet looked around and then dipped her face down while maan hugged her shying figure shamelessly in front of everyone ...
Maan what are you ..(he still held her while she was struggling to get away) ...choro mujhe ..sab log dekh rahe hain ...
Arre ...tum mujhe sab k saamne maar sakti ho mien tumhain hug bhi nahi kar sakta ..yeh kahan ka rule hai ..??
She hid her face in his embrace and maan could feel her cheeks burning with his blush... and just as somebody came to climb up they parted giving way to the passer by and maan smiled at his sharmeeli wifey ..
Hayee ..
Shut up ok ...mien ghussa hoon
Yeah right ..chalo upar chalte hain ...asha tai ko bhi tu good news deni hai ..
Hmm ...chalo
But just she began to climb up maan noticed her discomfort despite the fact that geet tried her best not to limb around ...initially he thought may be because of his twirling stunt she got hurt but before he could question her asha tai came out and took her blessing with a smile ..
Jeet gaya na tu ..
Jiske saath uske baro ka ashirwaad aur itni khubsoorat biwi ka pyar hu wohh kaise haar sakta hai ,...
Asha tai playfully smacked his head ..
Chal badmaash ...
Tai aap dono chaliye mien abhi aayi ..
Tum kahan jaa rahi ho ..
Oho surprise hai bhae ..
He smiled and went inside asha tai's home while geet came after a few minutes with a big bowl in her hand ...
Tada ...
Whats this ..
Guess ..??
Umm ..gajar ka halwa ..
Exactly ...!!
Really ...tum ne banaya ..??
Yup ..asha tai ne sikhaya ..chalo abhi betho mien serve karti hoon ...
She walked back to asha tai's kitchen to get serving bowls when maan again saw the marks on her legs as she was barefooted now ...
Geet ek minute ..
Han kya hua ..
I should be the one asking you this ...tumhare pair (leg) p kya hua hai ..
Geet looked at asha tai nervous if she told him ..surely she wasn't limping any more ..and maan saw the way she was avoiding to look at him ...that instantly alarmed him ..
Geet kuch poucha hai mene ...
Woh maan ...kuch ..kuch bhi nahi hua ...kuch lag gaya huga bahar floor se ...theek hoon mien ..
Really lao dekhao ..
What are you ( she yelped and backed) ..kya kar rahe ho ..
Listen hum 18th century mien nahi hai ...betho yahan ...aur mujhe dekhne do ..
Maan nahi ..mien ..//
But he backed her and made her sit on a chair and knelt to have a look at her feet only to be shocked with the seeing the red bruised skin ...even pricked from some places ..
Geet yeh kaise ...
Maan kuch nahi hai ...
Are you freaking kidding me ..yeh kuch nahi hai ...geet dimag kharaab hai tumhara ..kaise hua yeh ..
Maan wohh mien ..
Geet tum stumble sirf tab karti ho jab jhoot bolne ki kushish karti ho ..so just please ..don't even try to ..sach sach batao...
She looked at asha tai helplessly ...and she sighed standing up ..
Kyun chupa rahi hai ..kar tu liya tu ne jo karna tha ...abb bata bhi de ...
Maan was looking at asha tai and turned to geet who was constantly looking down biting her lips knowing maan would be angry after knowing ..
Geet would you tell me now ..
Wohh maan mien ...actually gurdwara gayi thi ...
Tu wahan jaane mien yeh haal kaise ...(geet never dared to look up at him and her silence only made him realize what she must have done and he instantly got down on his knees in front of her) ..u walked there bare feet ..??
Geet looked up barely nodded and then looked away ...
Geet what the ...//
He ran his hand in his hair in frustration ...
How could you ...
Geet sighed seeing he was more hurt than angry ...but she wouldn't be able to explain this to him how much she wanted to do this for him
I am fine ..maan dekho tai ne medicine bhi lagayi ...
He stood facing away from her ...clearly not happy with her stunt ...
Maan ..ghussa mat ho na ..its such a happy day for us aur tum ...
She stood holding his hand and came in front of him ..
Acha mujh se ghussa ho na halwa tu kha lo..
He jerked her hand away and sat on the opposite chair ..
Nahi khana mujhe ...
Hawww ...maan
She sat facing him and held her ear and ever so cutely apologized to him ..
Maaf kardijeye pati-dev ..ghussa thook dijeye na ..
Maan looked at her from the corner of his eyes and then seeing asha tai tensed he stood up and walked to the dinning table
Finally ...sado singh khurana ..
I haven't forgiven you yet ..
Ohkiee fine but halwa tu khana parega ..ghussa tu mujh p hai na ..bechaare halwe ka kya kasoor ..
Maan stood glaring her while she made a puppy pleading face when asha tai stepped in between and made him sit by her side and served the halwa ...
Ghussa baad mien khana ...abhi halwa khao ..itni bari Khushi hai aur geet ne buhat mehnat se banaya hai ...chalo choro karo dono ..
**^^**
Maaneet returned to their house only after dinner with asha tai ...
Maan waise I think tumhain armaan aur ridz ko batana chahiye ..they'll be so happy to hear this
I know but I feel ek baar contract sign hujaye everything gets finalize then mien bata dunga... last time bhi sab kuch final hi tha but dekho kitna time hugaya ...i don't want them to raise their expectations
She got up while maan was keeping away all his files with his back to her ...
Acha coffee peoge ...??
He turned instantly only to see her going towards the kitchen ...cursing his negligence he ran towards her and swept her off her feet while she yelped in shock he continued to walk back towards the hall ..
Maan kya kar rahe ho ..put me down ..
He only stopped after making her sit on the chair ...
Shush ...
What the ...kya kar kya rahe ho tum ...??
Chup ek dum chup ..
Maan gave her his trademark glare placing his finger over her lips making her go numb with his hot breath fanning her face and his close proximity making her loose her senses as always ...she kept looking at him lost while he continued to lecture her ..
Mene asha tai k saamne kaha nahi ...but I seriously don't approve of you doing this crazy shit ...geet what were you even thinking ? Do we live in 80s or are you some illiterate girl from a village ...
She looked down suddenly feeling like a child of 5th grade being scolded. If truth be told she didn't had any explanation to her actions apart from the fact that she has always done that since school time everytime she wanted to have something... be that to have her father home for her birthday, good marks in exam, bebe's health or his success and happiness she has always done this ...and she couldn't explain this ...
Geet I am telling you this for the last time don't you dare hurt my mishty like that again ..YOU GET ME...
At the mention of her nick name she looked at him again her face still down casted yet she eyed him from behind those thick lashes with a slight smile splitting over her face so infectious it almost made him melt ...seeing his anger melting away she glanced up with a wide grin making him smile at her ...the way she looked at him ...the hitler taking his anger silently and then that heart stopping blood pumping smile ..he couldn't be angry at her any more than this ...he took a step forward holding her face in his palms he placed a firm kiss over her forehead while she held his arm and closed her eyes savoring the moment ...despite all the bruises and pain and the shit her brother and father gave her she was happy knowing this man for whom she has left her world behind loves her the most in this universe... nothing could make her more happy than being with him ... as his ..forever !!
**^^**
She woke up with the sun peaking through the slits of the cutain and realizing that she locked in the protective embrace of her dear husband. She glanced at his sleeping form and a smile adorned her face .. all the adversities of the world couldn't take away the joy of waking up in his arms every morning. In this moment nothing mattered ...not the limited grocery in her kitchen, not the unknown clauses of the contract Mr. murti might throw at him today, not that her family has literally disowned her with no possibilities of a reunion in this life, this small apartment was her heaven with him here with her she could never give a heed to anything in the world. She rested her head back over his chest partly exposed with black vest he was wearing. She lay there listening to his heart beat in the early morning silence remembering the way he took care of her last night applying ointment on her bruises despite her resistance he attended her wounds and made her have turmeric milk which she left half way through. She controlled her giggle remembering the way he kept on repeating the same scolding session over and over again till she slept in his embrace totally at peace. She peeked up only to see him deep in slumber definitely catching up on the lost sleep of yesterday night ...she moved out of his embrace carefully placing a feather light kiss on his heart ...

LONDON
Yash walked down the stairs after getting fresh while Savitri devi and rajveer was waiting for him at the dinner table ..
Sorry I am late ...
Oye koi nahi chal jaldi aaja ...roti thandi hu rahi hai ..
Hmm ... maa aniee kahan hai
Wohh abhi aayi hai yash university se ...extra class thi uski ...
Han tu wait kar lete hain na uska
Oho start karo yaar aati hugi woh bhi abhi neeche ...
Shortly after tht anvesha joined them at the table ..
Pheww hey everyone ...
Hello princess, where are you these days ...
Don't even ask me yash uncle ...classes and assignments are killing me ...
Chalo aniee khana start karo ..
G dadi ...
Acha aap logoon ki maan bhai se baat hui ...
Dadi and yash stopped amid their actions and rajveer tried not to notice the awkward silence while aniee continued speaking while serving herself the dinner ...
Wohh actually kal raat ko he video called me, aap dono ko buhat miss kar rahe thay ...
Dadi: kaise hain wohh ..
Aniee looked up listening to the teary voice of dadi maa while she tried to control her tears ...
Oh he is fine ...mien aap dono k room m bhi aayi thi ...but you both were asleep tu I just gave him a glance of yours and he hung up ..
Yash: why were you up so late by the way madame ..
Assignments yash uncle what else ..
You shouldn't be doing that so often it would impact your health ...already you are diminishing in front of me ..
Really ...!! You think I am loosing weight ..
Raj: aniee its nothing to be happy about ...seeing you looks like I don't feed you enough ..
She laughed and yash gave a half smile while dadi left to the kitchen in the pertext of getting salad ...rajveer and aniee even though noticed their expression but didn't made it obvious and she regretted even mentioning it.
Later at night Savitri devi walked in yash's room while he was standing by the French window looking at the dark sky ...
Maa aap ...itni raat ko ...you should be asleep by now maa..
He made her sit on the couch and sat by her side ...
Aapko lagta k hum ek din bhi theek s so paye hain ...
He sat there silently and then walked back to the window realizing how much stress his mother is under...
Yeh kab tak chalega yash ...aap na khud maan se baat kar rahe hain ..aur na hi humien karne de rahe hain ...hum ne itne din m ek baar maan ko call nahi ki sirf iss liye k aapne humien kasm de hai ...but ab buhat hua yash ...please bete maan s baat kijeye ...yeh sab clear kijeye ...pata nahi kis haal m hai woh ..kahan hai ...kaise hain ...
Theek hai woh ..
Yash snapped back not being able to listen to the questions out loud that surround his mind 24/7 but his principles always holds him back ...
Delhi mien hai aur bilkul theek hai ...kya kar raha hai yeh mujhe nahi jan'na ..
But yash ..
Maa please ... iss waqt rajveer aur aniee hi meri priority hain ... jab wapis jayenge tu baaqi rishte bhi sambhaal lenge ...but tab tak mujhe maan se koi baat nahi karni ...
Yash wohh bilkul akela hai wahan ...kab tak naraaz rahenge aap unse ...
Maa ...he insulted me ..and my up bringing ...naraaz hone ka haq banta hai mera ...
Magar kab tak ...
Jab tak hum delhi wapis nahi jaate ...
His heart pained seeing his mother in tears sitting there broken ...walking upto her he sat by her side and held her in his embrace ...
Relax maa ...please aapki tabiyat kharaab hujayegi ...
Yash humien humara bacha wapis chahiye ...please bete ..
She cried holding his hand while he exhaled holding himself together ...
Fine ... Ive signed up a contract here 6 months ...it would take that much time until then we have to be here ...uske baad we'll go back to India aur maan ko ghar le aayenge ...fine
Savitri Khurana looked up at her son ...she saw the hurt on his face ...she knew what maan has done has hurt yash to an extent she cannot even comprehend. But she was helpless in front of her motherly instinct ...
Would you forgive him ..??
Yash looked at her ...he knew maan was dear to his mother even more than him ..for such a long time he didn't acknowledge what maan had confessed in front of that police station but when he got to know geet getting married to someone else and maan moving out of that chawl to arman's luxury apartment he had no other option but to accept that his son has indeed fooled a girl into loving him and then bretayed her ...bitter as much as it was it was the reality and he couldn't be on the side of a liar a betrayer ...
Raat buhat hugayi hai maa ..aap ko so jana chahiye ..chaliye ill get you to your room ...
He thought he could avoid answering the question by changing the topic but his tactic alone was enough to get his answer communicated. Savitri devi only wished once they get back to India she get back her family just the way it was ...she couldn't imagine her grandson has done something so sinister, hurting the girl he claimed to have loved, no matter what the logic says but she would never believe what her son had told her. Hoping for the day all the misunderstanding would be clear would come soon she slept and yash left to bear another sleepless night... not before calling his guard in delhi
Sir ..we need to tell you something
i just need to know if he is safe ...nothing other than that
yes sir maan is safe and in good health but ...its another thing that i need to tell you ...//
Ron ...talk when you asked to ...the answer to my question ended on your first word YES ,... us ke aage mujhe agar pata karna huga tu ill ask my self... until then do your duty and be around him ...
