A couple of minutes pass by; Geet stood silently recalling the quote once her brother told her ("Today." I close the door to the past, open the door to the future, take a deep breath, step on throughand start a new chapter in my life. ) {Anonymous Quote from Google}Heavy wind is blowing on Geet's face. She opens her eyes and looks at the time. It was 5:30 in the morning. She glances at her husband before entering the washroom to complete her morning routine. Maan woke up hearing the water running inside the washroom. He looks at his left side and saw it empty. He got out of bed and thought of using the guest room washroom before going out for his morning jog.
Geet came downstairs wearing a beautiful (light pink and off-white saree) and adding her martial symbols. Entering in the puja room, Geet saw Dadi. She bends down and touches her feet for a blessing. Dadi blesses her and amazes to see her up, early in the morning apart from Kripa and Anjali. "Dadi, may I please start the morning prayer with your permission?" Geet asked innocently. Dadi is touch by Geet's gesture and permitted her. Geet begins the morning prayers with her beautiful voice. Her voice attracts many people out of their sleep, and each person came out of their room and stood in the hall instead of entering the puja room without a shower.
After completing the morning prayers, Geet turned around and gave the aarti to Dadi. Dadi smiles at her and takes the aarti. Geet give her the prasad and move behind Dadi, but Dadi's voice stops her "Geetika beta, where are you going?" "Dadi, I am going to give the aarti to the reminding family members," Geet answered her. Dadi amazed to hear Geet. She couldn't believe her ears and turns around. She got the shock of her life. Her entire family stood in the hall. It pleased Savitri. Savitri knew that Geetika's good fortune enter her house for the goodness of her family.
Savitri watches Geet giving the aarti to each member of the family and seeking their blessing as well. Savitri had tears of happiness rolling down her face. She closes her eyes to capture the beautiful moment in her heart forever, but the joy didn't last long. The loud voice of a sudden person turn the happiness into sorrow by throwing the aarti ki taal away from Geet's hand, and she said "how dare you to enter my house? How much I try to keep you away from harming my family with your shadow." Her each word sounded of hatred. Geet had tears running down her face. She closes her eyes and flinches away from the thought of getting hit, but a hand come in between and stop the slap from hitting Geet.
Since the morning of yesterday, Panchi had specific fear within her. She had rescheduled her medical conference and decide to return home. Once reaching Delhi, Panchi called her husband last night and came to know about Maan's sudden marriage with the girl she always tried to keep away from her family. It angered her. Panchi entered her house. The sight in front of her boiled her rage of anger. She came toward Anjali who is about to take the aarti and trash the taal away in the anger. Her loud voice echoed with hatred. She shouted "how dare you to enter my house? How much I try to keep you away from harming my family with your shadow." She raises her hand to slap the girl when Maan caught his Dida's hand. "Dida, I respect you from the bottom of my heart, but it doesn't give you the right to slap my wife." Panchi couldn't believe her ears. She stares at Maan with sensitive eyes. She always thought Maan would marry the girl of her choice and she was Sameera, her friend's granddaughter. She had everything planned out and sudden marriage of Maan destroy her happiness within a second.
Each word of spoken by Maan placed hope in Geet's heart. She knew her husband would protect her from every evil in her life. She clutches onto Maan's shoulder in fear "Aisha Bhabhi, can you please take Geet inside our room? Please, Bhabhi" Aisha nodded her face and took Geet with her. Maan released his grip on Dida's hand and apologized for his behavior "Dida, please forgive me for my behavior but I can't tolerate anyone harming my wife. I promise to protect her from any harm, and I have to protect her. I am sorry and please try to forget the past and move on in my life." Maan left from there before giving a glance to his Choti Maa. He assured her with his eyes that he will protect Geet from every evil in their lives. Anjali closed her eyes and accepted Maan's gesture through her eyes.
On his way, to their room, he saw his Bhabhi and assured her that he would answer her each question later on. He knew that he had to explain to his siblings before they got the wrong message about his marriage and his wife.
Maan entered his room and saw Geet standing by the window. She looked lost in her thoughts. Maan places his hand on her shoulder "are you okay, Geet? I didn't know that Dida would react this way. I am sorry, " Maan couldn't complete his sentence. He felt Geet embrace herself in his arms. He felt her tears soaking his T-shirt. Maan let her release her each pain captured in her heart. "It's not my fault. Why am I blamed for everyone's misery? What is my fault that I am born out of wedlock? I didn't choose that type of lifestyle than why am I blamed?" Her each word made massive scare in his heart. He held onto Geet tightly. He rubbed her back soothing her pain. He closed his eyes. On the spot, he makes a promise to himself that he would protect her from every situation and give her the proper respect she deserves in this world as his wife. He can't erase her past, but he can write her future with happiness.
Late in the afternoon, Savitri sat in her room. She and her husband were upset with Panchi's act. They didn't know the reason behind, but her each word has developed many questions in their mind.
A knocking sound on the door brought Savitri and Satyavan out of their thoughts. Savitri opens the door and saw her Kripa standing theirs with Anjali. "Come inside" Savitri invites them and lock the door. Kripa gathered her courage "Maa; I want to confess something regarding today's event. I should have told you and Papa earlier about everything, but I was" Anjali interrupted Kripa, "Kripa kept quite for me" Kripa shook her head to stop Anjali from revealing the bitter truth of her life, "and to protect my reputation in front of everyone in this household." "I don't understand, what you two are talking about?" Satyavan asked them. Either Savitri understood them. "Kripa, I respect your friendship from the beginning, but I can't let them misjudge you or what happens today. If I don't speak the truth today than I won't be able to face my daughter? Her eyes questioned me today, and I couldn't do anything to protect her." Anjali cried bitterly. Satyavan and Savitri stood to confuse before stating her words carefully, "your daughter" she asked Anjali. Anjali sighed. "Yes, Maaji. My daughter, The daughter that I had to give away to her father if I wanted her alive otherwise Mummyji would have killed my child." Anjali confesses the bitter truth hidden in her heart. She told everything related to her past and her relationship with Kavya before marrying Mahen.
Satyavan and Savitri couldn't believe their ears. Each word from Anjali's mouth made them feel disgusted the way Panchi behaved in the past with Anjali and forced a mother to give away her child after one year. Slowly faded memories of the past came flashing in their mind and how Panchi lied to them about the girl. Savitri felt disgusted. She embraces Anjali in her warm affection "I can't change the past, but I promise you until I am alive, nobody will harm Geet or question her identity. Leave Panchi to my care." Savitri turns toward her Bahu and gestures her to come forward "I am proud of you." She told Kripa. Vikrant decided to stay home and work from his study. Many thoughts are developing in his mind. Whenever he looked at Geetika, he felt some connection with her. His heart told him to accept Geetika with an open heart, but the event from yesterday and today morning kept on playing in his mind. Many questions are bothering him. Knocking sound brought him out of his thoughts. Maan got his father's permission before entering his study room. "Dad, I wanted to say" Vikrant interrupted him. "Maan my child, I want to hear everything. I know my upbringing won't disappoint me. Please have a seat with me on the sofa, and I would love to hear you out." Vikrant saw his son's relaxed face. He gestures toward the sofa with his eyes. Maan sat down after hearing his father. Maan listened to his father asking about his wife. "Dad, she is alright at the moment for now. I made her take rest for some time after what happened today in the morning. I know many questions are rasing in your mind. I just wanted to say, please don't misjudge or feel betray by Mom. I heard your and Mom's argument yesterday. I am not here to explain or defend Mom. I just wanted to clarify myself before the situation gets worse in the future because of any circumstance."
Vikrant listens carefully to his son. He felt proud of his son and his thoughts. He kept quiet and waited for his son to speak further before giving his input regarding the situation. "Dad, many things token place in Dehradun. I went down there to give my moral support to Choti Maa for her lost. During my stay, I got to know about Choti Maa and her past. The past that hidden from everyone in our house and also the bitter truth of her life. Her daughter and she is none another than my wife, Geetika." His son watched his every expression while he shared his truth. His clam nature gave his son courage to speak further. "My marriage with Geetika was planned by two mothers and their promise. They didn't force me into this alliance but left the choice to me before taking things further. After learning about Choti Maa and her past. I felt her pain and her carving for her daughter and if my marriage with her daughter brought them closer under one roof. I felt happy. We had planned to get married mutually with approval from our family after some months, but the situation wasn't in our favor." Vikrant looks at his son fully confused. "Just a day before our return Geet got kidnap by their neighbor's son who had lustful thoughts toward Geet and forcing her to marry him even after she disapproved his alliance." Vikrant listened to him and felt proud the way; his son handles the situation. He knew deep inside his heart that his son would take his place in Khurana Construction as the MD after him.
Next day, a new beginning. Savitri woke up early and called their Guruji last night to request him to come early in the morning for Satyanarayan Katha. Guruji accepted her request and came earliest around 5 in the morning. Savitri had informed Maan about the puja. She wanted him and Geet to sit together and wash away the bitterness of yesterday event from their lives and begin with a positive note. She also requested Panchi not to create a scene in her grandson's happiness. If she dislikes his bride than keep her bitterness within her and her family? Not to destroy her family's happiness. Panchi gave hatred look to Anjali and sworn to herself that within few weeks or months Geetika would be out of Maan's life and Sameera would be in Geet's place.
