CHAPTER 5
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, RELIGIOUS 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 !!!!!
On reaching her apartment before she could insert her key in the lock the door was swung open by an extremely furious Garv.
Garv looked at Geet with his icy blue eyes and said,"Geetika, aap andar jaayiye hum aap se baad mein vartalaap karenge." (Geetika, go inside, I will talk to you later.) Calming slightly so that his eyes return to normal he looked at Maan and he said, "Mr. Khurana hummei aapse akele mein baat karni hai." (Mr. Khurana, I would like to talk to you in privacy.) Once they were away from Geet and Garv's apartment block, Garv thundered,"Mr. Khurana, you maybe a big boss in KC but this is my home and Geetika is my sister."
Maan spoke in his unaffected icy cool authoritative voice,"You should have thought of that before sending Geet as your imposter."
"But that was only because..."
"Of KC rules!" Maan concluded, his voice getting icier.
"Mr. Khurana, aap meri behan ke saath, itni der raat tak kahaan the? Aapne zara bhi nahi socha ki agar humare kissi bhi padosi ne dekh liya hota ki Geet itni der se ghar aayi hai toh uski kitni badnami hogi." (Mr. Khurana, what were you doing with my sister so late at night? You didn't even once give it a thought that if any of our neighbours saw you both this late in night, how humiliating it will be for Geet and me?) Garv said fuming.
"Maine kuch galat nahi kiya hai. Geet meri mangetar hai." (I have done nothing wrong. Geet is my fiancee.) Maan informed.
"KYA? Yeh sab kaise hua?" (WHAT? When did all this happen?)
"Ussi tehre jaise Geet, Garv bankar KC aayee. Tumhei chinta karne ki zarurat nahi hai Garv! Mai kal hi Geet ke saath shaadi kar loonga." (It happened just like it happened when she came dressed as Garv to KC. You have nothing to worry Garv! I will marry Geet tomorrow!)
"Aap Geet se shaadi nahi kar sakte." (No you can't marry Geet.)
"KYUN?" (Why?)
"Kyunki Geet ki shaadi bachpan mei hi tai ho gayi thee." (Because Geet's marital alliance has already been fixed in childhood.)
"Waise toh meri shaadi bhi bachpan mein tai hui thee. Shaadi tai hi toh hui thee. Shaadi toh nahi hui thee naa?" (Even my marital alliance was fixed in childhood. Her marital alliance had only been fixed. But she is not married?)
"Haan. Shaadi nahi hui thee. Magar..." (Yes she is not married. But...)
"Agar, magar kuch nahi. Tum chaho toh mai tumhare badhon se baat kar loon warna mai apni Maa ko bhej doon tumhare gharwalon se baat karne ke liye." (No ifs and buts.. If you would like, I can talk to your elders or I can ask my mother to talk to them.) Hearing Maan's words Garv went into deep thought till Maan shook him and said, "Garv, GaRV, GARRV! Kya hua?" (Garv, GaRV, GARRV! What happened?)
"Kuch nahi. Accha mujhe ek hafte ka samay dijiye mai ghar par baat karke aapko batta hoon.." (Nothing. Alright give me a week's time. I will talk with my family and let you know.)
"Theek hai sirf ek hafta. Agar iss ek hafte mein tumne jawaab "HAAN", mei nahi diya toh mai Geet ke saath mandir mein shaadi kar loonga. Kyunki Geet mere siwaye kissi aur ki nahi ho sakti! " (Alright only a week. If in this one week I don't get an answer in YES, I will get married to Geet in a temple. Because Geet can never be anyone else's but mine!) Seeing Garv once again in deep thought Maan said, "Ek baat aur, agar tumne Geet aur Meri shaadi rokne ki koshish kari toh tum dono bhai-behan jaalsaazi ke ilzaam mein jail mein hoge. SAMJHE!" (One more thing, if you try to stop Geet and my marriage, I will get you both brother and sister duo arrested on charges of fraud. UNDERSTOOD!)
"Ji! Magar aapko bhi mujhse ek vaada karna hoga. Jab tak mai apne gharwalon se baat nahi kar leta aur unhei samjha nahi leta, aap Geet se naa toh milenge, naa hi uske paas aayenge aur naa hi usse chooenge! Boliye manzoor hai?" (Fine. But you also have to promise me, that until I don't talk and convince my family members, you will NOT meet Geet, you will not come near her or touch her. Do you agree?)
"HAAN MUJHE MANZOOR HAI!" (YES I'M AGREEABLE)
After Maan left, Garv went back home. Seeing tense Geet he went and rubbed her back. "Aap pareshaan kyun ho rahi hain?" (Why are you worried?)
"Bhai-sa, hum Mr. Khurana ki mangetar swiccha se nahi banne. Unhone aapko naukari se nikalne aur jail bhijwane hi dhamaki di thee. Khair yeh sab chodiye jiss karye ke liye aap gaye the woh sampoorn hua? Jeeja ji ka koi samachaar?" (Bhai-sa, I did not become Mr. Khurana's fiancee out of free will. He threatened me that he will fire you from your job and will get both of us arrested on charges of fraud and impersonation. Anyway forget all this. Were you able to complete your mission? Were you able to locate brother-in-law?)
"Nahi Rajkunwar ke baare mein koi samchaar nahi. Parantu ek Sukhad samchaar hai ki Pitaji aur Maa-sa ne aapko ghar bulaya hai." (No there is no news of Prince. But there is a good news that mother and father have called you home.)
"Ghar???" (Home??)
"Chaliye abhi vishram karte hain. Kal sochte hain kya karna hai kyunki Mr. Maan Singh Khurana ne aap ke liye vivaah prastav bheja hai." (Comer lets rest. We will decide tomorrow what to do next as Mr. Khurana has sent a marriage proposal for you.)
"KYA? Hummei toh kewal yeh gyat thaa ki woh humse apni "mangetar" banne ka swaang rachna chahte hain." (What? I was under the impression that I was only to play act as his "fiancee".)
"Geetika, hum jaante hain ki aap Mr. Khurana ko bahut aakarshit hain, kintu woh ek manushye hain aur hum... Khair iske baare mein kal baat karenge. Shubh ratri!" (Geetika, I know you are attracted to Mr. Khurana but he belongs to human form and we are... anyway we will discuss tomorrow. Good night!) Both brother and sister went to bed.
Next day being Sunday was holiday so Maan despite of wanting could not meet Geet as well as he had promised Garv that he will not contact, meet or touch Geet. Maan was eagerly waiting for Saturday so he could talk to Garv about Geet and his marriage. Monday came and went as Maan was neck deep in work. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday also passed in so much work that Maan was unable to go doing office hours to KC. Friday being public holiday Garv was not going to be in KC. Maan was impatiently waiting for Saturday. On Saturday, when Maan reached Garv and Geet's apartment, he found front main door being forced open
and ajar. Apartment in a disarray i.e. sofa ripped open; paintings slit open; clothes from the cupboards pulled out;
broken crockery lying about;
and Garv & Geet missing.
FIVE MONTHS PASSED
Kumudini found Maan yelling at someone on the phone, "I'm not paying to bloody this major amount to hear this nonsense. You cannot find two missing adults. I know that there is a strong possibility of their being kidnapped. But you are Private Detectives for God sake! I'm giving you 24 hrs. If in next 24hours you don't give me any result, I'll close down your agency!" Maan disconected the phone in anger and whispered to himself, "Sab manushye kaamchor hain. Geet tum kahaan ho...?"(All humans are lazy. Geet where are you?)
Kumudini went near Maan and said, "Maan Geetika kahaan hai?" (Maan where is Geetika?)
"Kaash mujhe maloom hota, Maa. Maine manushye yoni aur humari yoni mein badal kar bhi dhoonda magar mujhe woh dono nahi mile. Maine private detectives ka bhi sahare liya aur Geet aur Garv ko kitna dhoondha magar woh dono mujhe nahi mile." (I wish I knew. I searched for Garv and Geet in human form as well as my birth form but could not find them. I even hired private detectives to search Geet and Garv but could not find them.)
"Maan, aap ne iss baat ka dhyaan nahi diya hi Geet manushye yoni ki hai aur aap..." (Maan, I hope you are aware that Geet is of human form and you are...)
"Maa, Geet aur mai ek hi yoni ke hain. Kyunki uske shareer mein se bhi wohi gaandh (smell) aati hai jo mere shareer mein se aati hai!" (Geet and I are of the same form. Because her body gives same odour as mine!) Mother and son were quite for sometime both deep in their thoughts, when Maan said, "Patta nahi kyun Maa, mujhe lag raha hai Garv Geet ko mere se shaadi se bachaane ke liye yeh "kidnapping" ka natak kiya hai." (I don't know why Mom, I feel that Garv has staged this drama of "kidnapping" to prevent Geet from marrying me.) Maan said in anger. But suddenly Maan sniffed and said, "Yeh "gandh" yeh gandh kaisi hai? (Smell what is this smell?)
"Gandh" kaunsi gandh?" ("Smell" what smell?)
Just then there was a bright light and a creature was seen. He bowed respectfully and said, "YUVRAJ AAPKO SHEEGR ATI SHEEGR WAPIS BULAYA HAI. RAJMATA KA SWATHIYE SAHI NAHI HAI!" (Crowned Prince you have been summoned as Queen Mother is seriously ill!)
Unknown to mother son, their conversation was heard by some one who went unnoticed by either mother or son as the creature was camouflaged in the colour of the walls!
