FIVE YEARS LATER
Maan has been searching for past five years for his love, his wife and HIS MISHTY but it has been of no use! He cannot forget and cannot forgive himself for being unable to save his wife. Had HE been closer he would have saved her from that monster Devendra Rathore but he was not and Geet to save her honour and dignity jumped into flooding Jamuna river. Although everyone says that Geet is no more but Maan knows that though his Mishty is not with him but she is definitely somewhere in this world! If she was not in this world, Maan's soul would have definitely known! Besides her body was still not found.
Maan still remembers the day as if it were yesterday. It was week after Vicky and Meera's wedding, Khurana family had gone to Ranawat Mansion to do some post wedding ceremonies. When elders were busy in the ceremonies, Maan saw Geet passing by carrying something for the ceremony. Maan could no longer bear Geet's indifference and seperation and hence had confronted Geet by holding her hand in his tight grip when she was passing by.
Maan said in a firm MSK voice,"Main jaanta hoon ki tum meri Geet ho aur tumhari yaadasht bhi waapis aa gayi hai!" (I know that you are my Geet and your memory has returned!)
"Mr. Khurana, aapko galatfahami hui hai. Hum GAYATRI SINGH RANAWAT HAIN, Vijaygarh ki bhaavi Rajkumari." (Mr. Khurana, you are under some misconception. I'm GAYATRI SINGH RANAWAT, soon to be the Princess of Vijaygarh.)
"Geet please don't test my patience. I've been trying to find you for past 6 1/2years and ask for forgiveness for my crime. Now that I have found you, I'll not let you go."
"Hum aapse phir keh rahe hain ki aapko galatfahami hui hai hum Gayatri Singh Ranawat hain." (I'm again informing you that you are under some misconception. I'm GAYATRI SINGH RANAWAT. )
Seeing Maan in deep thoughts and his grip on her hand loosening, Gayatri slowly wriggled out her hand from Maan's grasp and would have left, if Maan would not have pulled her back towards him and this time twisted her arm forcifully behind her back and started kissing her passionately.
"Suniye hummein jaane dijiye! Hummein dard ho raha hai" (Please let me go! You are hurting me!) Geet said struggling in Maan's muscular embrace.
"NAHI! Jab tak tum sabke saamne sach qabool nahi karogi ki tum MERI MISHTY ho, mai tumhei kaheen nahi jaane doonga." (NO! Until you don't accept that you are MY MISHTY, I won't leave you!) Squeezing Geet's hand even more tightly.
"Suniye, aapke jaise samaridh aur sampoorn ghar ke ladke ko aisi ashleel harqatein nahi karni chahiye." (Listen, you belong to a very respectful and affluent family. This kind of indecent and disgusting behaviour doesn't suit your image!) Geet tried explaining to Maan but he refuse to let her go and in their continous struggle,
the puja thaali fell down causing a loud din in the quiet hall.
Thereby loosening Maan's grip on Geet's right arm hearing the loud noise. Although Maan was still holding her arm but gently now. Seeing no way of making Maan understand, finally as a reflex, Geet's freed her right hand and moved it in a semi-circular arc connecting with Maan's left cheek.
With the loud noise of thaali falling, elders, Vicky, Meera, Avinash and Annie rushed towards the hall to witness Maan getting slapped by Geet.
By now Geet's temper had reached sky high and she was unable to calm herself. "Aap apne aapko samjhate kya hain? Ki aap jo bhi karen woh sahi hain kyunki aap ek purush hain? Kintu hum wohi sab karen toh woh sahi nahi kyunki hum ek naari hain. Aap battaiye ki humara qasoor kya thaa? Kya yeh qasoor thaa ki jisse hum prem karte the usse apna tann, mann aur aatma supurth kar diye? Yaa yeh qasoor thaa ki ek nirlaj (indecent) purush se aapne samaan aur swabhimaan ko bacchaya? Yaa yeh qasoor thaa ki ek balatkaari (r****t) ko jail bhejaa? Hum chahte to ussi samay aapko bhi jail bhijwaa dete kintu Khurana parivaar ke hum par bahut ehsaan the aur aap humare honewaale bacche ke pitah the, iss liye hum chup the." (What do you think of yourself? That just because you are a man you can do whatever you please? But if I do the same I'm wrong just because I'm a woman. Can you tell me what is my mistake? Is it my fault that the person whom I loved, I unconditionally handed over my heart, soul and body to him? Or was it my fault that I tried to save my honour and dignity from an indecent man? Or was it my fault that I sent a r****t to jail? If I wanted I would have got you arrested as well, but I held myself back, as I was under Khurana family's obligation as well as you were father of my unborn baby!)
"I was definite that you have got back your memory." Maan said in a victorious tone.
"But I had wished I had not. With my memory, the pain has also returned which YOU gave me and our child."
"Geet mujhe apni galati...mera matlab mere gunaah ke liye maaf kar do!" (Geet, Please forgive me for my mistake...I mean my crime!)
"Agar jo aapne humare saath kiya thaa agar humne bhi wohi sab aapke saath kiya hota, toh KYA AAP HUMMEI MAAF KARTE?" (If I had done with you what you have done with me, would YOU HAVE FORGIVEN ME?)
Seeing fight between husband and wife accelerating, Priya tried calming the situation by interrupting, "Geet beta, shaant ho jaao. Samjhdaari se kaam lo. Tum toh humesha se bahut shaant aur suljhi rahi ho, Meera se bhi zyaada samajhdaar. Aur yeh matt bhoolo beta, ki abb Maan beta Meera ke jeth hain aur Khurana parivaar, Meera ki sasuraal!" (Geet please calm down. Look at the bigger picture. You have always behaved in a mature, sensible and practical manner. You are even more sensible than Meera in family matters! Also you must not forget that Maan is Meera's brother-in-law and Khurana family are Meera's in-laws!)
"Priya, sirf Meera ke hi nahi, Khurana parivaar Geet ki bhi sasuraal hai! Geet Beta, gusse aur aakrosh se kuch haasil nahi hoga." (Priya, not only Meera's! Khurana family is also Geet's in-laws! Geet you will gain nothing by anger and attitude.) Savitri Devi also reasoned.
"Dadimaa, sabne hummein ek "moum ki gudiya" (Wax doll) samjhaa hai. Jaisa chaha waisa nachaya. Pehle humare Mama-sa aur chachaji ne hummein bhela-phuslakar pitaji ki jyedaad apne naam karaani chahi woh toh Kanahji ki kripa thee ki sahi samay par Chote papa aa gaye. Phir inhone (looking at Maan with anger and disgust) apne badtameez, durachaari aur balatkaari mitr ki jhooti izzat bachaane ke liye ek masoom ladki ka shoshan kiya, jisse "shaadi" ka naam de kar apne gunah ke bhoj ko kam karna chaha. Aur yeh kafi nahi thaa ki inke durachaari dost aur uski premika ne humare bacche..." (Dadimaa, everyone comes and treats me like a Wax doll. They want to mould me in whichever way they want. First my maternal and paternal uncle came and by their pseudo love wanted me to sign over my father's hard earned business and property to them. By God's grace Ram papa arrived in time and saved my father's business and property. Then he (looking at Maan with anger and disgust) in order to save his shameless, characterless and disgusting r****t friend's honour physically and mentally abused an innocent and naive girl. To make his crime less he is now referring to it as"marriage." As if this was not enough his shamless friend and his girl friend made our unborn child...)
Meera came near Geet and started rubbing her back saying, "Bitto, beith jaao, baaki baat baad mein karenge."(Bitto, sit down we will talk later.)
Meera tried to deviate the topic as it was giving Geet intense stress. But Geet was on warpath today, she said, "Didi, yeh sach jo pichle chhe saal se chupa hai usse bahaar aane dijiye." (Didi, let the truth which is hidden for past 6 years finally come out.)
"Nahi bitto tumhari sehat se zaruri kuch bhi nahi!" (No Bitto, nothing is more important than your health!)
"Nahi Didi, kaash uske bajaaye mai chali jaati." (No didi, I wish I had gone instead of him.)
"Bitto, tum..." (Bitto, you...)
"Meera, aisi kya baath hai jo tum dono mujhse chupa rahi ho?" (Meera, what is it that you both are hiding from me?) Maan asked with curiosity and attitude.
"Mere khayal se abb hum sab khaana khaane chalte hain." (I think we all should have lunch now.) Ram butt in and guided Khuranas for lunch. Khuranas and Kapoors sat for lunch except Geet and Meera. Priya just lightly brushed off saying that as Geet's arm was hurting, Meera has gone with Geet to help her change her clothes as puja things had fallen on her clothes.
After lunch(Meera and Geet had lunch together in Geet's room), when everyone was having their respective coffees and teas, Savitri Devi broached the topic hesistantly, "Ram aur Priya, abb toh Meera aur Vicky ki shaadi ho gayi hai aur Geet ki yaadasht bhi waapis aa gayee hai, toh kyun naa Maan aur Geet ki shaadi bhi abb kar dein?" (Ram and Priya, now that Meera and Vicky are married. As well as Geet's memory has returned, let's get Maan and Geet married.)
"Dadimaa, hummein maaf kariye, HUM ISS SHAADI KE LIYE TYAAR NAHI HAIN!" (Dadimaa, please forgive me, I'm not agreeable for this marriage!)
"Kyun beta?" (Why my child?)
"Enough Geet. I have waited for your acceptance of our marriage for so long but no longer!" Maan said with rising temper.
Geet gave intense angry glares towards Maan,"Mr. Maan Singh Khurana, I'm no longer helpless Geet whom you can walk all over! I'm Miss. Gayatri Singh Ranawat who may become Princess of Vijaygarh some day. Currently I'm MD Ranawat Industries and acting CEO of Ranawat Industries. Hence, I don't need to bow down before you so that you can trample and walk over my love, my feelings and my respect!"
"Geet, I didn't mean that. I'm so..."
"Geet beta, aap bhool rahi hain ki aap Maan ki byahata patni hain." (Geet you are forgetting that you are Maan's religiously wedded wife.)
"Aur kanooni taur se bhi Geet beta tum Maan ki patni ho!" (Also you are Maan's legally wedded wife.) Garima added.
"Kanooni taur se...?" (Legally wedded...?)
"Maan aur tumhare marriage certificate par signatures hain." (Yes there are your and Maan's signatures on the marriage certificate.) Garima explained.
Geet looked at Maan's direction with dagger in her eyes. Calming down she spoke to Savitri Devi and Garima,"Dadimaa aur Aunty, dono shaadiyon ka naa toh koi praman hai naa koi gawah. Chhe saal pehle ki shaadi mein aap mein se koi nahi thaa. Humara "kanyadaan" bhi kisne kiya hummein nahi gyaat. Kewal ek kagaz ke tukde ke aadhar par usse shaadi nahi maan sakte! Jahaan tak kanooni shaadi ka sawaal hai, hum khudh bhi Marriage Registrar ke samaksh nahi the aur jisne bhi gawahon ke sthaan par hastakshar kiye honge woh toh paise ke khatir kar sakte hain!" (Dadimaa and Aunty, there are no proofs and witnesses of both the marriages! The marriage which happen 6 years back none of you were even present. Even I don't remember who did my "kanyadaan" (giving bride away!). A piece of paper in form of photograph is no proof! As far as legal marriage is concern, even I was not present in front of the Marriage Registrar. Whoever were the witnesses signing could have done so for the sake of money.) Stunning Garima and everyone in the room at the accuracy of Geet's assumption.
Savitri Devi tried to calm the situation and said, "Geet beta, Maan ki chhe saal pehle ki galati...mera matlab gunah ke liye kya aap usse maaf nahi kar sakteen? Woh apne gunah ke liye bahut sharminda hai. Woh aap se pyaar karte hain aur aapko apni vidhivaat patni banna naa chahta hai." (Geet, the mistake...I mean the crime Maan did six years back, can't your forgive him and move ahead? He is extremely embarassed by his behaviour. He loves you and wants to make you his socially and legally wedded wife in front of all.)
"Dadimaa aap swayam ek stree ho kar hummein hi samjha rahi hain. Aap bhi baaki sab ki tehara hain, ki dusare ka baccha gunah kare toh usse sazaa mile kintu khud ka baccha gunah kare toh usse maafi! Kewal humare ek prashan kaa uttar dijiye, "Yaadi jo kuch inhone humare saat kiya hai jaise hummein apne jhoote pyaar mein phasana, apni vasana poorthi ke liye humse vivaah karna itiyaadi, agar koi aapki Annie ke saath yehi karta to kya YEH, aap yaa Khurana parivaar kaa koi bhi sadasya usse kshama karta?" NAHI KABHI NAHI!"(Dadimaa you are a woman yourself and still you are asking me to understand. You also are of the same thought like rest of the world, if its not your family member than he should be punished but if belongs to your family, then not! Just answer my one question, "If what Maan has done with me i.e. By charade wooed me, then for fulfilling his lust got married to me etc. if same someone would have been done with your Annie, would HE, you or anyone from Khurana family have forgiven him?" NO NEVER!) Making whole Khurana speechless!
"Geet beta agar tumhari yaadasht pehle hi aa gayi thee toh hummei pehle kyun nahi battaya?" (Geet if your memory returned sometime back, why didn't you tell us all before?) Rishabh enquired.
"Battane se laabh Uncle? Kya kuch badalta? Jaise abb bhi kuch nahi badelgaa! Humari yaadasht toh Meera Didi aur Vicky Bhaiya ki sagaai ke din hi aa gayi thee jab humne Dev aur Naintara ko Khuranas ke function mein zabardasti aate dekha thaa. Hum kewal Meera didi, Chote Papa aur Choti Maa ki khushi aur samaan ke kaaran chup the. Maa aur Pitaji ke jaane ke baad, Chote Papa, Choti Maa, Meera Didi aur Avinash ne hummei sambhala aur apne pairon par khada hona sikhaya. Kapoor parivaar ne hummein kabhi bhi ek anaath, bin byaahi maa yaa ek bhoj nahi samjha. Kintu abb aap sab ko sach patta chal hi gaya hai toh accha hai." (What would have been the use? Nothing would have changed. Just like now nothing will change. My memory had returned the day of Meera and Vicky's engagement, when I saw Dev and Naintara gate crashing. I just kept quite for Meera didi, Ram Papa and Priya Maa's respect and happiness. After the death of my parents', Ram Papa, Priya Maa, Meera didi and Avinash looked after me, cared for me and made me independant and self reliant. Kapoor family has never even once made me feel as if I was an orphan, unwed mother or an encumberance on them. Anyway, now that you all know the truth its good!)
Garima suddenly asked, "Geet tumhare ajaname bacche ko kisne maara?" (Geet who killed your unborn baby?)
"BACCHA ? MERA BACCHA?" (BABY? MY BABY!) There was sound of curios falling from coffee table. Maan just saw in time Geet was about to hit the floor. Maan swooped Geet up in his arms.
"Veerji, please make Geet lie down and Papa call doctor asap." Meera was shouting orders rubbing Geet's hands.
"Maan Bhai aap Bitto ke paas rahiye main Dr. Budhiraja ko lata hoon." (Maan, you be with Bitto, I bring Dr. Budhiraja.) Avinash said running to the door.
"Jab Geet jaage toh please aap sab bacche ke baare mein usse kuch matt poochiyega. Uske baare mein mai aapko battaongi." (When Geet gains consciousness, please don't ask her about her baby, I'll tell you the truth.)
"Maan, Maan, MAAAN! Choudhary sahaab aaye hain!" (Maan, Maan, MAAAN! Mr. Choudhary has come!) Garima's voice broke Maan's flashback and brought him back into the present.
