LATER THAT DAY
That evening Dr. Vidyarthi came with Geet's results. After she was served tea and refreshments as Dr. Vidyarthi was Janaki's close friend, she decided to disclose the test results. "As I had suspected, Geet is suffering from food poisoning but whether its natural due to food rotting i.e. unknowingly eating stale food or cooking oil being rancid; or whether someone has knowingly tried to poison her is still unclear. I'm waiting for detailed results still to come." Geet got up and left as Lajjo had come calling her saying that children are crying for her after waking up.
Once Geet was out of the room Dr. Vidyarthi continued, "But there is another result which I was not expecting and that is Geet is about two weeks pregnant."
"KYA? Mai phirse padh dada bannogaa." (What? I'm going to be a grandfather again.)
Thakur Amardeep Singh was ecstatic and jumping with joy till Ram, Maan and Vicky forcibly made him lie down. After the jubiliation in Khurana Mansion quieten down, Dr. Vidyarthi again spoke, "Uncleji aur Auntyji, yeh baat itni saral nahi hai." (Uncle and Aunty, its not so simple.)
"Matlab?" (Meaning?)
"Geet is two weeks pregnant but due this food poisoning incident, we are not aware that to what extent the poison has or has not effected the foetus."
"What do you mean, doctor aunty?" Maan asked
"Maan, as a medical professional, I would suggest that its better to abort the baby for few reasons first -- Geet may or may not be aware of this pregnancy so far. Secondly, even if we don't abort the baby there is no surety that this pregnancy will complete full term or not? Last, even if the pregnancy completes term, I don't know how healthy the baby will be? The child could be deaf, blind, physically impaired or mentally impaired. That's why I tried to withhold this information till Geet left the room as I know how difficult it is for a mother to let go of her baby. Geet will never agree to this abortion!"
While Khurana family was digesting this piece of news, Dr. Vidyarthi indicated by her eyes that she would like to talk to Maan in privacy. Maan took Dr. Vidyarthi to Khurana Mansion's study. Maan asked,"Doctor aunty we have to leave for Hoshiyarpur the day after tomorrow for some pooja in Geet's household? Is it alright for Geet to travel?"
"Maan, I didn't want to scare your parents or grandparents but Geet has been poisoned."
"WHAT?"
"Someone is trying to kill Geet. Its a slow but deadly poison, it started two days back and is still continuing. I didn't inform the police as I didn't want Khuranas name maligned."
"How is the poison reaching her?"
"Through her food. Its seems some local poison which is pretty deadly. Our pathological lab is still trying to find the exact chemical composition of the poison." Dr. Vidyarthi paused to let Maan absorb this information and then continued, "She can travel but please be careful. I would suggest you tell police as you have good connections with them. I will help in whatever way I can. Be strong!! BE ALERT!! See you once you are back." Dr. Vidyarthi departed.
Maan was stunned hearing doctor's results. He tried recollecting who is new member in the Khurana household who could poison his wife? Relative? Servant? Maid? He can't suspect Sasha as she came to know about Geet existence only today. Maan messaged Ram and asked him to come to the study alone immediately. Once Ram was there Maan told him what he was told by Dr. Vidyarthi.
"Maan this is serious. I think we should inform Police Commisioner Bhardwaj."
"I also think so. I will try scanning the person who makes & serves food to Geet."
Ram and Maan spoke to Commisioner Bhardwaj and asked his advice. After talking to the Commisioner and having dinner, he helped Geet to make children sleep. Soon Geet also dozed off due to medicines and weakness. Maan decided to do some work. Maan worked till late night and then decided to wind up his work when his neck started getting stiff. Maan was about to go to bed after freshening up but decided to step out in the balcony of his room for fresh air. He was relaxing when he heard voices under his balcony.
"Haiyye Lajjo, tu kitni sonni hai. Mennu tere se vyaah karna hai." (Oh my darling Lajjo, you are so beautiful. I want to marry you.)
"Oye Brij, tu mere baba naal gal kar si. Mennu teri jald se jald woughty banna si." (Even I want that. Make me your wife as soon as possible.)
"Mennu bhi wahi chaandha. Tu ne apni bhabhiji ke dopahar aur raat ke khanne mein woh Swamiji ka prasad mila diya thaa naa jaise maine kaha thaa?" (So do I. Did you mix Swamiji's blessings in your Ma'am's lunch and dinner as I had said?)
"Haan Brij, magar uss poodhiya mei aisa toh kuch nahi hai jisse bhabhiji hi tabiyat kharaab ho jaayegi? Kaheen tu kuch galat cheez toh nahi daal raha kyunki agar Bade bhaiyaji ko patta chal gaya toh woh meri jaan lelenge." (Yes Brij. But I hope there is nothing in that pouch that makes Ma'am gets more sick? If there is something wrong, Maan Sir will burn me alive.)
"Nahi pagli. Woh toh Swamiji ka prasad hai, teri bhabhiji ki lambi umar ke liye. Bass do din tu ne apni bhabhiji ke khanne mein mila diya hai bass do din aur mila de. Paanch dino ke baad prasad apna asar dekhayega aur teri bhabhiji ek dam itni chaangi ho jaayengi ki hawa se baatein karengi. " (No my sweet. That is just Swamiji's blessings for your Ma'am's long life. You have already given her two days and give her two days more. Within five days she will be well and flowing freely in air.)
"Hawa se baatein karengi. Matlab?" (Float in the air? Meaning?)
"Mera matlab hai ki theek ho jaayegi. Theek hai abb mai chalta hoon." (I mean she will be free from illness. I'll leave now.) Brij left before Lajjo could become suspicious.
Maan had recorded the conversation the moment he heard the name "Brij". Maan was horrified and then angry at himself, that Geet was being administered poison right under his nose and he didn't know. He was going to call Police Commisioner but decided to wait till morning seeing the time.
NEXT DAY
Maan was woken up by something feather like brushing his eyes, cheeks and lips. Before that wispy feather like thing could move lower than his neck he caught it still with his eyes closed and flipped his body entrapping it. He opened his eyes to see beautiful doe like hazel annoyed eyes of his beautiful Mishty staring back at him. "Aap ke poore sar par aankhen hain kya jo bandh aankhon se mujhe dekh liya? Abb mujhe chodhiye, mujhe aaj bahut kaam hai." (Do you have eyes all over your head, that you could see me even with your eyes closed? Now let me go I have lot of work.)
"Nahi pehle woh sab mere saath karo jo tum abhi kar rahi theen jab meri aankhen bandh theen." (No first you do what all you were doing when my eyes were closed.)
"Mai?" (Me?) Geet blushed but then composed herself and said in a voice full of attitude,"Mai toh kuch nahi kar rahi theen. Aapko galatfahami hui hai." (I didn't do anything. You have misunderstood.)
"Mujhe koi galatfahami nahi hui hai. Abb jhoot bolna bandh karo aur apna kaam poora karo!" (I have not misunderstood. Now don't lie and do as I say.) Maan said in an ordering tone.
"Nahi!" (No!) Geet stubbornly refused.
"Theek hai toh mai hi kar leta hoon!" (Alright than I'll do it!) Maan started placing feather light kisses on Geet's eyes, cheeks and lips, making her shiver with desires.
"Good morning Mishty!" Before Maan could arouse her further there was a knock on the door breaking their sweet romantic moment. Maan got up as Geet was under him and opened the door. Seeing Lajjo there his temper was hitting the roof remembering last night incident, but he controlled himself and gave way to let Lajjo enter with Maan's coffee and Geet's tea. "Tum tray mezz par rakh kar jao." (You keep the tray on the table and leave.) Maan said in cool and calm voice without alarming Lajjo but having hawk like eye on her.
Once Lajjo left and Geet was still in washroom, Maan took a sip of Geet's tea. Geet had just entered the room when Maan was sipping her tea. "Aaj coffee ke bajaaiye, chai peene ka irada hai?" (Today, you want to drink tea?)
"Nahi mai toh taste karke dekh raha thaa ki ismei aisa kya hai ki Dadimaa aur tum chai ki deewani ho?" (No I'm just tasting to see what is there in this tea that Dadimaa and you are absolutely addicted to it?)
"Hum chai ke aise hi deewane hain jaise aap aur Papa coffee ke deewane hain." (We are addicted to tea like Papa and you are addicted to coffee.) Geet said. Maan and Geet finished their bed-tea/coffee admist this banter. Soon children got up and both parents got busy seeing to their needs.
