Part 1
Hoshiyarpur... Even in this modern era,there was still some places which needs to b changed,not only in matter of facilities but in their thinking too.still some parts of country carry child marriages,despite being termed as illegal,none can make this people understand,in their pride they r ruining a life which yet to live,in order to save their relationship they r ruining his/ her relationship which they yet to b discovered.not all child marriages turns out successful,some blame the bride as to some blame groom,when the marriages failed miserably,when the two people in their relationship failed to complete each other r to know each other,r resulting to part their ways blaming each other,but still this custom was in practice with fresh rules seeing the failing marriage's that bride will accompany her groom after completely knowing about her duties towards relationship.the small relief was she will leave her paternal home after proving herself capable, the most of worst was girl getting married to the groom who was double r triple in age,one such life was cursed for Rano who was married to mohinder handa,at a tender age 10 with a man of 20.h er dreams were attached to his name ever before she started to dream.her mother always made her realise she was belonged to someone,someone whom she was still stranger,yet to see,but nevertheless she was married to her unknown husband.the life she faced before and after marriage made her strongly resolve,she will never made her baby his/ her go through this part of life,but fate must have laughed on her as she was a widow at 35 yrs with a 7yrs baby geet who was at Mercy of her in-laws.s he tried to leave this place with geet but darji forced her to stay despite her brother attempts to take them with him. Today she cried on her fate,tge life which she pledged to keep away from her child was happening in front of her eyes,today her daughter wilb named as some one wife,some one noi,she tried her level best to stop darji from taking this step,but to convert his frndship with his childhood Frnd,he decided to play with geet dreams,to ruin her life,rano even insisted her brother in law to make darji stop,but none tried to see the pain of helpless mother,but unlike other runs she was determined none to let rule geet life,mayb today she can't stop this marriage but she had ample tym to save her daughter as her bidaai wilb when she turned 18,so she silently let the drama happen,she was happy for one reason through this marriage she can make her geet study ,this was the demand she placed before darji as geet in-laws where about to move Delhi,inorder to keep their old frndship in name of relation,they r binding their innocent kids in marriage,and to her surprise darji agreed. So today her 10 yr old handa daughter willb BAHU of khurana house. 12 yr old child did everything as his dadu said ,thinking he was playing with another game,but cruelty was his fate was being decided.the whole ritual completed making two old frnds to hug in joy. There was hustle around them sweets was being distributed,and everyone was greeting them,all this was watched by Rano who was silently standing at a corner,being a widow she was not even needed in her own daughter marriage,marriage the word made Rano grit her teeth,she owed to free geet from this cage as soon as possible. She had planned to send geet to her brother house in Mumbai,so none can impose this marriage on geet,as her own mother did,for her geet was still geet handa but in the eyes of this village she was GEET KHURANA
Rano was watching geet talking and laughing freely,she wishes to see her daughter always this lively,geet was the only reason why Rano left all her past memories of her and geet in hoshiyarpur and now living happily in Mumbai with her brother family,her brother tej and bhabhi pammi loves geet as their another daughter,though they had their own daughter but geet had made a special place in their hearts,thats the reason her brother and bhabhi were pampering from the moment they found geet had to go Delhi for her practice.now geet is a doctor and was appointed as senior doc in sanjeevani Delhi.but her brother wants her with them,he was fighting with them from the moment geet disclosed about her depature,he even blackmailed her to stay as he wants to care for her,but he too knew geet wants to b independent in her life after what happened, They had almost given up on thier lives to cover the distance from hoshiyarpur to Mumbai ,Rano shivered thinking how darji decided to get geet married to a man who was her father's age ,when savitri Devi came with hanging head that her grandson refused to accept this child marriage Rano was first one to feel the relief but it was short lived,when darji roared on savitri for cheating them,he vowed to kill her grandson,even locked her in javelin saying her grandson had to come to take her. The old woman waited to find any way to stop the destruction,it took her half of life to look after her family,after loosing her huaband in an accident,a car crash took her husband,son and daughter in law away from her,yet she stabilised herself to look after her two grandsons,her son business were facing loss,and she was helpless to do anything until her kids were capable to look after that.she send them both to finish thier studies at US,even though they were adamant to leave her,but she made sure they got the best in thier life,but in all this Choas she did forget her one child is married,until she got a Cal from darji as soon as geet turned 18,on the same fateful day dadi decided to remaind her son about it,but it was too late as she herself got the news of his love. She decided to take control of the matter,even though it's her husband who wants geet as bahu of khurana's,but she can't ruin her grandson happiness for that wish,its thier life,they had full right to decided with whom they want to live.so she came all the way from Delhi to village to ask forgiveness only to get house arrested. On other side Rano was trembling with the happenings,darji decided to marry geet before the news spread outside,h e was only thinking about his pride not once he thought how geet will cope up ,Rano always made sure geet was away from this village for her studies,as she knew if geet stays with her,all family will impose this marriage on her heart and brain,even though geet taiji talked about how girls have to behave at in-laws place and all,rano said it's general that she saying for both geet and naina,as naina was elder and also married,how ever soon geet came to know she belonged to some khurana but Rano strictly told her not to think on those lines and just concentrate on her studies,geet too left that matter to rest. But today geet was being called in name of emergency from Mumbai,a and khurana's were informed dadi was ill.she was asking for her gsons. Rano knew both geet and khurana's life was at the door of destruction,she thought for long tym and at last came to dadi to take her help in securing all of them.
Seeing Rano dadi again asked for forgiveness but Rano answer made her relief
. Rano: nahi,maaji mafi math maangiye,anjane mein hi sahi aap khi pothe neh meri madath khi,mein pehle seh hi USS shadi kah khilaf hoon,yeha tak maine aaj tak geet koh bhi nahi bola USS khi shadi Hui hai,mein chahthi thi geet khudh apni zindagi kah faisla kahre naa khi meri tarah kisi aur khi faisle par apni jeevan bitayee...
This few words made said aware what life Rano was living she placed a consoling hand on Rano shoulder which Rano took in her hands to plead
. Rano: aaj phir yeh log meri geet khi kismat likne wale hai,maaji meti madath kijiye muje geet koh bachana hai!
? Dadi: hum !? Hum kya karsakthey hai bte, khudh yeha bebas hai!? Hum kaise!?
Rano: nahi maji sirf aap bacha sakthi hai geet koh...
Dadi: mathlab...
Rano told dadi what she planned,hearing dadi thought for a moment and agreed,soon both went to meet darji and others ,it was not an easy task to convince him yet they did and waited for the new day with new hopes. After two days an evening Rano happily hugged dadi at Amritsar for the success of thier plan,geet with Rano,dadi with her grandson started ways to live thier life away from thier nightmares.
Rano was brought out of thoughts with a sweet voice calling her,she sighed thinking their past still haunts them,geet still had to bear the doings of that family which she hate most.
