PART 14
Geet being mentally half asleep raises her lips and places a kiss wherever it may land, blissfully happy
Generally nightmares left her in a bad case of nerves but this was so fine, so nice to be soothed like this
Although a dull warning was beginning to sound in her mind but she ignored it
It was first time she was feeling so comfy... why doubt it? Why question it? Why let it be taken away?
She is quite determined to not open her eyes and face reality and seek questions
Maan ne achanak ankh kholi
He jumps a few steps and moves away
M-em...oh...I am sorry...oh...I am so sorry miss
Geet frowns, hands trying to grasp on empty air; it was all missing- the presence, the warmth and the comfort
G- Noo...
He quickly gets upshirt thik kari baal jaldi thik kare
Geet bhi uth gai, looking around ki kahan gaya kahan gay
Maanl ne jaldi se apna mobile uthaya aur pocket se ek aur mobile nikala
M-This was for you
Uthke nikal gaya
She looks at him hurrying up...thinking wo raha and then goes red... ki agar wo; wo hai to Geet kya kar rahi hai and and Geet kuch kar rahi thi to wo kyun bhaag gaya...pretty shy for a village chief
She thinks then gasps
Stupid Stupid! Stop linking! It's different. Doesn't matter what dreams are, its different separate
Maan chala gaya par mobile chod gaya
Geet ne wo mobile freezer mein daal diya
Geet ab gai apne hotel
In the night she couldn't come home as koi emergency aa gait hi islie raat bhar hotel mein rehna pada
She comes home around 5 in the morning
Ghar jaisa chodke gai thi waisa hi hai
Ab agla din bhi Geet ka normal gaya
Geet ko laga ki kal Maan aaya ki nahi aya , aaya ki nahi aya. Poora din aur pichli raat isi khayal mein nikli
Agli raat 7 baje ghar aai Geet saaman kharidke. Take out se burger and french fries le aayi bade shauk se.
Par kuch bhi nahi khaaya, bass aake so gai
She doesn't take much good care of herself. Adhe time she is too busy to eat aur baaki kabhi if she has a bad dream she skips breakfast. If she has weird feeling, she loses her food. That's why she is a bit skinny and underweight. Uske generally dak circles rehte hain kyunki she doesnt sleep soundly; all the dreams and nightmares and that lady in her dreams
But she is beautiful naturally, great bone structure. You feed her for a day, she looks great. She smiles, she lights up the room. She gets angry and her eyes sparkle to light dry forests. She looks like wanting you to take care of her, handle her delicately as if she would break if you are rough. But she's tough from inside
Ab Geet to so gai
Ankh khuli subah hui, as usual normal usual boring morning. Aj koi laundry nahi, koi safai nahi, koi dishes nahi to clean up. It feels empty
There is just usual going to hotel
Although she is bit better as no dark circles today
Full 12 hours of sleep does wonders to her. Aisa lag raha hai jaise ek din ka spa treatment le kar ayi ho
1 pura din nikal gaya
Agla din bhi nikla
Doosre din Geet fridge ke samne baithe freezer ko evil looks de rahi thi, lekin mobile nahi nikaala
Par raat ke 2 baj gaye aur usko neend nahi aayi
Geet ki haalat hi kuch aesi hai ki she thought of 100 reasons ki Maan kyun nahi aaya. The best one she likes is that he didn't drink therefore didn't feel compelled to follow his lowered senses here. He is well sober and fighting whatever foolish feeling he may be having. Her second favorite guess is that he is out of town
Ek hafta hua, agla sunday aaya
Geet ka bohot mann kiya ki aaye aaye. She misses him but she didn't feel anything, any twinge in his direction so she didn't call. Mann to bohot kiya but she didn't have reason. Waise hi wo pagal samajhta hai, pata nahi yun hi call kiya to aur kya kya sochega
Geet soyi to ek aur dream
Its ancient India
She is in a saree, running to see him
She is in a white saree with red border, wrapp wali sari without blouse adorned her hair with flowers plus some fresh flower jewelry
She runs into a temple
She can hear his deep voice chanting the shlokas
She smiles and runs faster
He is in front of life size idol, bare chested in a white dhoti wearing a janeu (white string worn by Brahmins)
He seriously chanting his shlokas putting the ghee on fire, fruits and sweets offered on plate, hands folded, straight back
Geet sits and crawls towards him
His eyes are closed
She is looking at him mischievously
Saamne ek twig tha, Maan ke kaan pe tickle kiya
Maan ne pehle kuch nahi kiya then he flinched
Geet ne Maan ko prick kiya
Maan ne haath jhatak diya
G-Chalo naa
M-Shhh
G-Baad mein karlena puja...chalo mere saath
M-Shhh..puja karne do
G-Kya bekaar hai..chalo sair karte hain bahar chalke
M-Pehle puja..baaki sab baad mein
Maan ne concentrate kiya puja mein
She pouts ki ye to maanega nahi
Geet leke bhagwan ka prasad khane lag gai, mithai and all
Maan ek baar stops her hand phir karne deta hai
Some foot steps are heard
He suddenly opens his eyes
M-Jao!!
Par tab tak wahan head priest aur royal guards aa gaye
The priest looks evil
Geet hides behind Maan
Maan is standing like an imposing mountain covering her
The priest, who is Maan's father, roars at him ki; iss untouchable ko temple mein ghusne dia, uske upar let her have bhagwan ka prasad
Maan says-I am sorry...it's my entire fault, but it's not her fault. She doesnt know. Leave her
Geet is shivering with fear
Maan is one and they are about 50 armed guards
There is the royal chief too. He says its adharm. The kingdom will be doomed
They order Maan to kill her...and to do his kartavya, save the kingdom farm wrath of deity
Maan's voice is shaking with anger
M-Nahiii. Tumhe kya lagta hai tum kahoge to main apni Sundara ko maar dungaaa???
Geet is like a trapped prey, shaking
Maan aage aaya, signaling her ki peeche raho
Geet to kaanp rahi thi
They said thik hai..tum nahi karoge to ye dharm hum kar denge
Kuch guards ne Maan ko pakda kuch ne Geet ko khincha
Geet ko ghasitthe ghasitthe le gaye
She is shouting his name
Anandam!!!!!!!! Anandam!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANANDAAAM!!
He is shouting for his Sundara
She doesnt want to die, she wants to live
