TEASER"Look at me, Daadima urged.
Together they turned to face Daadima who blew kisses at them.
Her happiness turned into tears and they rushed to her.
She enfolded them into her embrace.
"Juug jugg jiyo. Dudho naho puto falo, she blessed unaware of the two people squirming at the blessing.
"Maan, vaada karo, tum meri Bitto ka khyal rakhoge. Usse kabhi zindagi mein akela nahi chodoge", Daadima said through tears.
Geet's eyes widened at all the promises Daadima wanted.
Acutely and painfully she remembered in that moment that Maan loved someone else.
While Maan remained silent, she took the initiative and put in a light moment.
"Daadima, aaj boht filmy ho gayi aap? Kya hua?" she laughed.
"Bitto ek minute", Daadima warned her, " .. Maan tum kuch kyu nahi kehte?"
Geet did not let her ask anymore, "Arrey wo vaada kar chuke hai. Kitna baar karege? Aap ko bharosa nahi hai par mujhe hai na. Mujhe Maan pe vishwaas aur bharosa hai. Unhe koi vaada karne ki zaroorat nahi hai".
Under the dupatta, she had crossed her fingers at the lie.
He had made a promise to be her friend always, so she was not lying completely; just stretching the truth.
It was not a squirm from the door but a gasp.
Geet in all her jewelry and Maan so close beside her turned to see Kiran at the door.
From the look on her face, it was obvious she had heard everything.

Chandan Khanna buried himself in more and more paperwork.
It was late in the night and he was still sorting out his work.
There was no need for such hardwork or dedication.
The Khanna family fortunes had doubled in the last few years, the work being carried efficiently and profitably.
No, the late hours were a distraction.
A distraction from the voices of the past; the gasp of the crowd when he was left standing at the altar; the shame and humilation of being left for someone else by the girl he loved; the anger at his own naivete; the frustration of being made a fool of in front of the world.
And yet there were nights when he dreamed.
Sweet dreams of a quiet girl with eyes as deep as the ocean; of a shy smile that carved deep dimples in her cheeks; of a hesitant sly look from her covered head sometimes to see where he was.
Once his life had been a dream and now he refused to sleep.
"Chandan sa", the knock on the door was unexpected.
He looked up to find his personal assistant standing there.
From the look on his face, something major had happened.
