Chapter 21
ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any royal titles, MEDICAL PROCEDURES, MEDICAL TERMS, MILITARY PROCEDURES, MILITARY TERMS, Punjabi terms, architectural terms, IT terms & programs, office hierachy, wedding rituals, etc. are from my imagination hence THEY ARE NOT TRUE. PLEASE DON'T BASH ME !!!!!
ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHS DOWNLOADED DO NOT BELONG TO ME BUT BELONG TO THE ORIGINAL UPLOADER. I HAVE JUST USED THEM AS THEY GO WITH MY STORY! PLEASE DON'T BASH ME !!!!!
"MISHTY!"
"GUDDO!"
"GUDIYA!"
Hearing the exclaimation, the youngwoman turned and was surprised to see her whole family standing with stunned expressions. Gathering herself she whispered, "Chaliye bahaar baat karte hain!" (Come we will talk outside!)
Once outside in the living room, Geet introduced everyone to Meera and Pari. As Pari had also come to visit Geet. She first introduced her Daarji and Beeji; then her Daddu and Dadi; then her Rudra Veerji and last Maan as "Mr. Khurana"!
"Mr. Khurana nahi! TUMHARA PATI MAAN AUR BACCHON KA PITAH!" (Not Mr. Khurana! Your husband and father of your children.) Bringing a gasp from Meera and Pari.
"Mr. Khurana aap abhi bhi wohi baat liye beithe hain. Aap mere pati nahi hain magar haan Abhimanyu aur Yaamini ke pitah zarur hain." (Mr. Khurana you are still stuck on that. You are not my husband but you are definitely father of my children,Abhimanyu and Yaamini!)
"Bilkul mai bhi yehi keh raha thaa!" (Exactly what I was saying!) Rudra jumped in and supported Geet.
Meera and Pari were sitting perplexed unable to understand what they should do.
"EK MINUTE!" (One minute please!) Daarji intervened. Once knowing that his Guddo is well Lalaji's voice had returned. "Geetu, Maan ne teri maang bhari hai chahe kissi kaaran se. Aur tum dono ke judwaa bacche bhi hain. Jisse tum jhutla nahi saktin." (Geetu, Maan has filled your parting the reason may be whatever. You now have twins and you cannot ignore that.)
"Maine bacchon ko kab jhutlaya Daarji sirf isse shaadi maan ne se inkaar kiya hai!" (When am I ignoring my children? I'm only refusing to accept it as a marriage!)
"Magar..." (But...)
These volley of questions was continuing for two hours with no decision in sight. Just then two cute warm bundles came and sat in Geet's lap. "Mama, mere ko duddu chahiye!" (Mama, I want milk.)
Manu asked,"Yeh sab aap se guwsa kyun hain Maa?" (Why are all these people angry with you?)
Hearing the two baby voices there was complete silence. It was debateable who was more stunned the two toddlers or six adults? Geet slowly start introducing children to elders and vice versa. The moment Geet said, "Papa" to Maan, Yaamini (Mini) immediately went and sat in Maan's lap surprising everyone including Maan.
"Aap log surprise matt huye, Anamika ne aap logon ki photograph phele hi dekha kar bacchon ko aap se introduce karaa chuki hai!" (You all don't be surprised, Anamika has already introduced you to twins by showing your photographs!) Meera explained clarifying everyone's doubt.
"Puttar agar tumne hum sabka parichaye bacchon se karaa hi diya hai toh humare saath rehane mei kya haraz hai?" (My dear when you have introduced all of us, then what is the problem in living with us?)
"Daarji, mujhe aap ke saath rehne mein haraz nahi hai magar agar mai aap sabke saath rahi toh phirse aneko sawaal uttenge!" (I have no problem in living with you but if I start staying with you, then again lot of questions will be asked!)
"Magar..." (But...)
"Mama, Mini ko bhook lag rahi hai." (Mama, I'm hungry!) Yaamini got down from Maan's lap and came towards Geet.
"Aaja mera baccha!" (Come my dear!) Geet carried Mini in her arms and Manu followed held Geet's hand and followed behind.
Meera and Pari followed Geet to help her in the kitchen.
"Anna, I mean Geet, sorry Bhabhi..."
"Pari please call me Anna or Anamika."
"Anna, I still feel you should think about what is best for children."
"Only children what about herself? What about her self respect, Meera? Men feel that they can just walk over a girl's emotions and she cannot retaliate!" Pari fumed.
This volley of questions continued between Meera and Pari while Geet quitely kept listening and making refreshments. Unknown to the three girls Maan had followed Geet and his children into the kitchen. Finally after feeding the twins and getting fresh cups of tea, coffee and snacks for elders, Geet along with Meera and Pari entered the living room.
"Geetu, tujhe humare saath Amritsar yaa Delhi chalna hai abhi. Kiss shehar woh marzi hai teri." (Geetu, you have to return with us to Amritsar or Delhi, whether Amritsar or Delhi, the choice of city is yours!)
"Haan mai Laale se sehmat hoon." (I also agree with Gurucharan!)
"Aap dono ek baat bhool rahe hain ki mai aap ki doctor hoon aur meri permission ke bina aap kahin nahi jaa sakte. Waise hi aaj aap dono ke liye aaj bahut badparhezi ho gayi hai kyunki aap yahaan seedhi chadh ke aaye hain. Chaliye pehle kuch khaiye, chai peejiye phir aage baat karenge!" (You both are forgetting that I'm your doctor and you cannot go anywhere without my permission. As it is you both have strained yourself by climbing stairs to my apartment. Come lets have tea and some refreshments!) Geet smartly manouvered the discussion away from stressful topic.
Seeing upama and pohe Thakur Amardeep made a face, "Guddo aaj to tu bhi mennu ubala khaana khila rahi hai!" (Guddo even you are giving me boiled food!)
Savitri Devi nudged Jassi to have a look at what is about to happen, same thing happened which happened in New York.
"Daddu, yahaan doctor kaun hai?" (Daddu, who is the doctor here?)
"Tum." (You.)
"Aur patient?" (Whose the patient?)
"Mai." (Me.)
"Aur heart attack kisse hua thaa?" (Who had heart attack?)
"Mujhe." (I did.)
"Aur samose kisse chahiye?" (Who wants to have samosa?)
"Mennu. Magar Guddo...?"(Me. But Guddo...?)
"Dekhiye Daddu aap ne Dadi ka banna parhez kaa khaana khaaya toh aapko aapke par-pota aur par-poti se mile naa?" (See Daddu because Dadi gave you fat restricted food, you could see your great grandchildren!) Geet tried showing Thakur Amardeep positive side of the situation.
"Theek hai toh agar mai parhez kaa khaana khaane lagaa toh Guddo tum sab vidhi-vidhaan ke saath mere ghar ki bahu bannogi?" (Alright if I start having fat restricted food, will you become the daughter-in-law of my home by marrying Maan with all Hindu rites, rituals and ceremonies.)
"Daddu yeh kya baat hai?" (Daddu, what is this?)
"Amar bilkul sahi keh raha hai. Agar hum dono ki yaani tere Daarji aur tere Daddu ki tu umar badhana chahti hai toh Maan puttar ke saath sab vidhi-vidhaan se byaah kar le! Agar hum apne pote-poti kaa sukushal grahast.. jeevan nahi...dekh sakte toh... itni...lambi umar...ki kya...z.a.r..ur..a...t?" (Amar is absolutely right! If you want two of us your Daarji and Daddu's life to be prolonged, than please agree to get married to Maan with all Hindu rites, rituals and ceremonies. If Amar and I can't see the happily married life of our...grand...children...then...wh...at...is...the...
u..se...of...th...is...li...fe...!) Lalaji's breathe was becoming laboured.
"Meera I need IV..." Seeing Geet suddenly transformed into a cardiologist everyone got alert. "Pari can you please take twins and my family to my room. Thank you! Veerji aap please rukiye!" (Veerji please stay behind!)
Maan had just opened his mouth to object but before he could say anything Mini asked Maan, "Papa, Bade Nanu ko kya ho gaya hai?" (Papa, what's wrong with great grandfather?) Mini and Manu held Maan's hand one on either side making him realise he is a father now and where his responsibilities lay!
An hour later, Rudra came where his Beeji was sitting with Khuranas. "Puttar kya hua?" (What's wrong son?)
"Beerji, Gudiya Daarji ko lekar hasptaal gayi hai. Lucky wahaan paunhachta hoga. Mr. Khurana Geet has requested you to be with twins till she returns. I hope that's alright with you!" (Beeji, Gudiya has taken Daarji to the hospital. Lucky should also be reaching there.) Maan nodded affirmative ."Dadaji aur Dadimaa aap yahaan aaram kijiye. Gudiya ne aaj Dadaji ko phirse seedi uttarne se manna kiya hai. Beeji aap yahaan rahiye mai Lucky ko aapko lene thodi der mei bhejunga!" (Dadaji and Dadimaa, you please rest here. Gudiya has asked Dadaji to not climb down the stairs today. Beeji you also stay here, I'll send Lucky later to fetch you.) Saying this tense Rudra left.
Location: Yogsanjeevani (Khurana) Hospitals, Mumbai
Geet was sitting outside OT in deep thought when Lucky found her.
"Gudiya, tu yahaan? Tujhe maloom hai Daarji..." (Geet, you are here? Do you know Daarji...?) Lucky hugged Geet and started crying.
"Haan Veerji, woh mai hi thee jisne Daarji ka operation kiya thaa." (Yes Veerji, it was me who had operated Daarji.)
"Daarji kaise hain? Tu bahaar kyun beithi hai?" (Gudiya how is Daarji? Why are you sitting outside?)
"Daarji ko mere professor examine kar rahe hain. Kyunki Daarji ka operation abb mai nahi kar paaongi." (Daarji is being examined by my professor. Now I won't be able to operate him.)
"Theek hai. Magar tu itni pareshaan kyun hai?" (OK. But why are you so worried?)
"Daarji ne mere se zindaagi mein pehli baar kuch maanga hai. Jo ek poti ki hasiyat se mai de toh sakti hoon magar usse mere swabhimaan ko thes lagti hai." (Daarji is asking something from me first time in my life. What he has asked as a grand daughter I can give him but after trampling on my self respect!)
"Aisa kya maanga liya tujhe se Gudiya?" (What has he asked you?)
"Daarji chahte hain ki mai saare vidhi-vidhaan ke saath Mr. Maan Singh Khurana se shaadi kar loon." (Daarji wants me to marry Mr. Maan Singh Khurana with all Hindu rites, rituals and ceremonies.)
"Daarji ki marzi se zyaada zaruri yeh jaana hai ki kya tu usse pyaar karti hai?" (It is more important what is your wish rather than Daarji's wish. Do you love that man?)
"Lucky Veerji, patta nahi ki jo mai pyaar samjhati hoon ki woh pyaar hai yaa mera bhram?" (Lucky Veerji, what I consider love, is it really love or a figument of my imagination!)
"Matlab?" (Meaning?)
"Mai samjhati thee ki do log ek dusare ko dil se pyaar karte hain. Naa ki uske rang, roop, haisiyat, bahaari aadambar yaa awaaz se magar mai galat thee. Aaj kal ke zamaane mein saccha pyaar kuch nahi. Pyaar bikau hai." (I always felt that when you love someone its a bond of two hearts, not based on looks, complexion, status, outward presentation or voice, but I was wrong! In current times there is no such thing as true love. Love is a commodity which can be bought and sold!) Geet put her head dejectedly on Lucky's shoulders.
"Matlab?" (Meaning?)
"Aaj kal agar koi falanh shaqsh ke paas zyaada paisa hai toh mujhe usse zyaada pyaar, kam paise toh kam pyaar. Woh ladki bahut sundar hai iss liye mai usse pyaar karta hoon aur woh ladki sundar nahi toh mai usse pyaar nahi karta." (Now a days, if a person has more money then they are loved more; and if they have less money, then they are loved less. That girl is so beautiful so I love her so much, but this girl is not beautiful so I love her less.)
"Yeh sab chodh. Mujhe yeh batta ki jo tere hisaab se pyaar hai, kya waise pyaar tu Mr. Maan Singh Khurana se karti hai?" (Leave all this. You tell me that what you consider love, do you love like that Mr. Maan Singh Khurana?)
"Haan, MAI MR. MAAN SINGH KHURANA SE BAHUT PYAAR KARTI HOON, agar mujhe unmei aur apni zindagi mein chunna ho toh mai humesha unhei chunnogi. Magar woh sirf aur sirf meri awaaz se pyaar karte hain mujhse nahi!!" (Yes, I LOVE MAAN SINGH KHURANA A LOT, if I have to choose between him and my life, I will always choose him. But he only loves my voice not me!)
Rudra and Abhishek who had just reached hospital heard Geet's emotional outburst and heart felt confession.
