Maan looked around his family who were happy for pari...and him too he searched for geet but she was nowhere, she was behaving weirdly from yesterday...he tried to talk with her and knew did someone said anything to her again, but couldn't whenever he tried to near her either his mom would need anything who was sick either his father will assign some work related to engagement as pari was so close to them like annie the engagement was held in km ,he was truly happy seeing pari smile from her heart ,she was once his love, he did dreamed a perfect life with her but everything didn't go according to our wishes life did have its weirdest way to make us bow to its wish...
he smiled thinking about geet still his eyes searching for her...finally she was accepted fully in family his mom accepted geet whole heartedly..it was a sudden shock for him when all of a sudden his mom asked him sorry about her behavior with geet, from today geet will b treated with respect not with taunts he was still pleasantly surprised when his mom asked him to sigh some property papers which she was transferring in geet and my name guess a dip in her health made her forget the difference and accept geet, he was so happy he signed those papers with tears in his eyes..his geet deserved love not hate..yes his geet, he don't know when and how she made a place in his heart , he planned his life with pari but with geet everyday he had cute surprises she blended in his life with her different colors ,she is innocent, cute yet anger always stays on her nose, she will never try to hurt anyone she only knows to care even the one ho insults her taunts her every day, at first he was amazed to see her patience with which she dealt with his family, her care towards dadi ,her love for annie all chained him to his heart, everything about her mattered him, first he thought he cares for her as she is his responsibility but slowly she made her life and heart brighten with her presence, with her in his life he don't need anything, he was contended and happy until pari made her entry in his life, geet was shattered knowing once he loved her, true he too thought he did love pari but with geet and his feelings he questioned his feelings towards pari. was it even love, they were together from their kinder garden with time they become friends and close friends sure he likes pari, but he himself wasn't sure did he EVER love her, the way geet made his heart feel with her simple smile, her pout whenever she disagrees with him, her anger about his carelessness about his health,. Everything about her always made his heart flutter. the moment she uttered she was ready to leave him if he want his life with pari made him stop express his feelings for her, wasn't she feel the same way he feels for her, how can she leave him, that day he felt he almost lost his life seeing her ready to leave him, he convinced her that pari moved on in her life he babbled what ever came in his mind but he make sure not to express his feelings, until he have a hint about hers, but from last two days she wasn't same, her spirits were low, not once her eyes smiled at him, he couldn't find the happiness of his mom accepting her on her face, she always dreamt of a happy family, she wants to b loved by her mil and meera ,nt but all she got was hurt from them, she always had a hope one day she may win her mil heart, one day she may accept her, when she did why geet seemed lost. it seems like she lost everything in life, what happened to her, was she ok, thinking he was about to enter his room when dadi and annie blocked his way, he still didn't get why they were angry at him...but sure they were...
Dadi: u need something maan
Maan:who geet...
Annie:geet is fine, I will take care of her, u go and see pari, after all its must awaited engagement you must go..
Maan:but annie,geet..
Dadi:we will look after her, and from now on you just..
Pari: maan
Dadi and maan both turned to look at her, one with smile and one with anger
Pari: maan could u please come with me, we must go and select rings, we don't have time...
Maan :hmm,pari..now
Pari:of course maan, tomorrow is the party, see I am still not done with shopping please maan
He wasn't in a mood to go with her, even before his voice it his sister ruined for him...
Annie:of course he will, won't u bhai, after all its pari request and it's your en
Maan mom: pari what are you doing here..
Maan panicked seeing his mom,mom you must go to bed, youc ant risk your health, you hardly recovered from the attack
Mm:I am fine maan and this engagement gave me new spirits
Maan :mom but..
Mm: maan please I am ok don't bother take pari with you and select the best rings for my kids
Maan sighed and went with pari unknown to the taunting smile which his mom gave to his dadi and sister
He came back almost midnight seeing geet sleeping he too slept thinking to talk with her tomorrow...
On other side...
Pari: are you sure mom, this will work, I mean maan may not agree at last moment
Mm:no pari, it's our last chance I can't bear that geet anymore ,maan was falling for her spell, its right time, more over they are divorced remember
Pari: that's brilliant mom, the way u made maan sign was splendid ,and throwing divorce papers on geet face was not less than a slap on that geet face,
Mm: I made maan sign saying some property papers but I place divorce papers in between, and for geet I want to break her hope and heart for making my maan to stand against me...
Meera: that geet don't deserve to b a Khurana mom
Tara: true how can we introduce her as family yuck?
Mm: ok now relax until now we took steps very carefully, and tomorrow we had to b more careful, done ever let dadi ya annie to talk with maan, for geet she will never do that after seeing divorce papers sign by maan
Meera :yes, we have to b alert until the ceremony
Tara:but mom if maan bhai asks for the groom then what we will say, for sure he will question about him and his family, today pari closed the topic saying surprise, but what if he questions before dadi and annie..they will...
Mm: that's why we have to keep our eyes and ears open, meera you will keep a eye on annie and tara you with dadi, pari will b with maan for most of time leaving no scope for geet to even think about a talk with maan ,and seeing pari and maan together she will be hurt, I will enjoy her pain so I will keep a eye on geet
So let's put our work in action, tomorrow when Rajeev will announce pari engagement with maan there will b media and press not to forget the big shots of delhi,so maan will never take a chance to create a scene it will bring defame to khurana name...it's our luck none knew maan was married other than his staff that too for the stupid party of success...so eventually he had to get engaged with pari, I know he will b angry and hurt but tara you will show him divorce papers signed by geet then I will say I took his sign after geet signed them..as she still feels maan loves pari..
Pari:but mom dadi and annie will say him truth..
Mm:pari don't be dump dadi ya annie will not attend this party leaving geet alone, I don't understand why they like that girl what they had seen in her...so maan will be yours, don't worry
Meera:but maan even after engagement maan bhai may confront geet..what if..
Mm: once the ring ceremony is done, I will leave the party to kick geet out of my house, until then let her get hurt
She smirked with her planning, making all the three laugh
While on other side
Dadi and annnie were waiting for geet, once she made sure maan is sleeping soundly she took silent steps and reached dadi room,
Dadi: did u talk with maan..
Geet nodded a no..
Annie:geet listen, something is not wrong, bhai suddenly agreeing to get engaged, something is fishy, for once let me talk with him.
Geet:no annie, please if he decided that we should support him
Annie:bhai loves you
Geet: that's a illusion which we both felt
Dadi: no not only you both even I can see he loves you geet, maybe he is confused with his feelings all he needs is a push..
Geet&annie: push
Dadi:geet will u do whatever I say...not even questioning...
Geet:dadi did I ever said no to you
Dadi: No, but what I am asking is a bit difficult for you
Geet looked confused but what dadi said made annie grin like a fool and geet to get panic attack
Geet: ddaadii..this..is ..i
Dadi: come on geet you can just trust me on this...what say annie
Annie:of couse dadi I will take geet with me tomorrow
dadi: and make sure you made her entry exactly...
annie: sure dadi..
dadi: and if possible ..she stopped her words making geet suspect ..geet u need to sleep, after all you had a party to attend
geet: but dadi..
dadi:geet go..
She reluctantly left and dadi said annie what exactly she needed..annie gave a wink to her
all were planning something r the other unknown to them all their plans going to flop
the hall was buzzing with people and each one had the same question why this sudden party that too with such lavishly, was there is any family affair which they going to make it public...the buzz kept on increasing with the people pouring in...the most happy was Avantika she was smirking to herself seeing each and every hush shot present there, and she was sure maan will never create a scene, only if she knew...few moments after a confused meera and tara approached her..
meera: mom dadi is here..
mm: what!!??
Tara:yes mom,she is here
Mm:ok no problem,where is annie
Meera: there is no news of annie and maan bhai..
Mm: what do u mean by that...where is maan..
Tara: he was here few minutes before the party..in his room..but now..
Avantika panicked for a moment but next second she controlled thinking there were no lopes in her plan, maan will b there in here some where suddenly she thought about geet, she forget to check on her from noon, where is geet, she questioned herself
M: where is geet..
Even before they answer she herself said may b crying in her room...
Tara:geet is also not here
Mm:what do u mean tara.where can geet go..
Tara:mayb with annie...as both are missing ,maan bhai was here few minutes before..
Tara quick answer made Avantika sigh...she couldn't risk her plan, it's her last chance to kick geet out..she must win by hook r by crook..
Mm: just check on pari and her parents please, it took hell of time to convince them, just make sure them r ok...
Suddenly the buzz stopped and a odd silence followed Avantika lifted her eyes only to see pari who was all decked up, she felt proud that all were astonished with her entry but a look at others she was confused, they were not looking at pari, actually they were looking behind her, confused she turned only to get shock of her life...
Mm: how the hell did this happen
Was the only thought running in all Khurana minds along with pari family..dadi too had similar thought
There at entrance stood maan and geet dressed in bridal wear...pari lost all her color seeing her nightmare once again where as her parents throwing disgusted and accusing looks at Avantika...ignoring everything and everyone maan securely hold geet in his arms and made his entry ay centre of hall..every single person in hall looked at them in awe..he stood there for a minute looking at geet lovingly and signaled the dj for mike..
Maan :thank you ladies and gentle man for coming here in such a short notice, I invited you all for sharing the most important news of the life...as u see I am married..but not now few months before and she is my wife, he looked lovingly at her addressing her geet maan singh Khurana...I know you all had questions why I am announcing my marriage now, you see today we registered our marriage legally, he said looking at his mom, who averted her eyes with anger...so it's a better occasion to celebrate with you all and introduce my wife to the world...
With that he ended not only his speech but other high hopes too, the press didn't rest from clicking their pictures while he posed for them patiently with geet on his side, once done he turned only to see dadi whose jaw was almost touching ground, he smirked at her making her narrow her eyes at him, which only made maan chuckle, she shifted her gaze to geet who only pouted with helplessness...dadi was curious to know how this happened .well its happened for good and she was so happy but she wants to know how...she thought of annie and decided to interrogate her..but annie was already beside her with a hanging face..
Dadi: annie yeh sab..maan how
Annie: don't know...How bhai showed up in spa where I took geet to remake, bhai literally throwed me out of spa and was with geet and when they both came back I was shocked...from there I was asking both..but bhai u know him..uff
Dadi: did they..
Annie: yes we went to court first and from there directly here...but whole ride bhai kept taunting me..but how bhai was there and this engagement I am so confused..
Dadi: hmm let's wait Annie, whatever it is...I am happy they r together...
Annie: yes dadi...look at them...she pointed at her mother and bhabhi's who turned pale, and pari she seemed like she just saw ghost
They both giggled and enjoyed the party which they planned to ruin, but they desperately waiting for this to end and know how maan reached geet and finally their wait paid off in the midnight, but was confused seeing servants carrying luggage and taking them out...a furious Avantika who was controlling herself questioned maan..
Mm: what is happening here!!??
Maan: why mom, did I ruin your plan...
Mm: maan, what do u mean...
Maan: come on mom, u did made me fool making me signing those papers even you played good before me but all you did is hurting geet on my behind, why mom, how can you do this to me, to us..
Mm: you love pari maan, and she is best for you...not this...
Maan: that's enough mom, not a word from now on against geet and I heard enough, every time I want to stop you from insulting my geet, its only her who stopped me to raise my voice against you, but what u did today broke my trust on you mom, and about pari he turned to face pari ,I never loved you,sorry pari I thought I loved you but no I never did, its only geet for whom my heart beat..
Pari: maan I love u...even you too
Maan: no pari..I don't not in past ,not now what we shared cant b love, and about you loving me, if you have truly loved me, you could have let me go, you saw how much I am happy with geet, even I told u I am ...still all you did is breaking our friendship with your cheap tricks..and mom u really think I could have engaged to pari, if u announced in media, you could have to b kidding me mom, however tight spot you could have put me in, I may have found a way to come out of the web you spin..now enough is enough, geet had heard enough ,I had seen enough, we both are leaving this house, you can enjoy with your other bahu's all the way you want, you want geet out of this house, sure be it but geet will not go alone her husband maan singh khurana will go with her.
Mf:but maan how can u leave us...
Maan: no dad,I cant stay here and watch geet getting hurt, her hopes that everyone will love her, and dad you could have stopped mom ...but no you too ..
Mf: maan all I want is your happiness
Maan: if it's the case dad, you could have at least talk with me, before you move on with your wife in this plan...sorry I can't stay here
Dadi: maan hum aur annie bhi aapke sath aa rahe hai
Maan : sochna bhi math dadima
Dadi:kyun humne kya kiya
Maan:kya nahi kiya,aap meri biwi koh saz dazkar dev khey sath date par bhejne wali thi..haina..
Geet gasped hearing this and looked at dadi who looked everywhere but them...
Maan :haan ya na dadi
Dadi: who toh hum aapko h jelous feel karwana chahte the,taki aap iss pari ko chod geet ke..
Maan: itna sochne se dadi behtar tha aap mujhse aakar ek baar bath karle the
Annie: hum aane wale they bhai, par geet ne hi rokk liya,uss ko laga aap pari khe sath khush hai..
Maan looked at his family who were looking at them with shame he smirked saying this is my geet and her love for me
Maan: geet ne kaha aur aap maan gaye,isska dimag ghas khane chali gayi toh kya aapka bhi gayi..
Dadi: waise maan aapko yeh sab kaise...I mean
Maan : yesterday night I not sleep daadi, I know something not good with geet and your and annie behavior with me also not good, you both not giving me chance to meet geet...when geet left to meet with you both , I also come behind to her and listen how you try to convince her she talk with me, I getting little confused why she not sharing with me
How so much distance come between us...and then enagegment caught my attention , what why happiness come in pari engagement ... Then I decided I talk with her, and left silently for waiting her
Dadi:chalo sab kuch accha hai,hum abh chale..
Maan:kaha..aap log kaha chale..
Dadi, annie glared at maan while geet finally decided to clear the air
Geet: dadi maan bas Mazak kar rahe hai,unhe pata tha aap humare sath aayenge, issliye aapka saman bhi kab ka rakh diya
Annie &dadi: kya...
Geet: haan dadi,maine inhe bohoth roka,par yeh nahi man rahe dadia aap samjao na kya yeh accha lagega hum alag rahe..
Maan : geet bohoth ho gaya apna dimag aur math chalana, hum jaa rahe hai bas aur behas nahi..
Geet: dheyka ,dadi kal raat se yeh muje pareshan kar rahe hai,aur gussa bhi.
Maan: arey pyar bhi toh kiya..
Geet blushed with his words while dadi and annie looking at each other giggling while maaneet where lost in each other
When she come back to room after talking with both , she not seen him on bed , but he standing in dark corner , she open the light and see his angry eyes....
Maan aap soye nhi
Maan : from when you start hiding from me
Geet : ye aap kya kh rhe hai
Maan : asa kya hai geet jo daadi annie jaante hai mein nhi
I don't getting why you ignoring me
Why your eyes is sad
Tumhe pari ki engagement se problem kya hai
He held her by shoulder tighly and said tell me geet
Geet : how can I smile maan
When my husband
Sorry ex-husband getting engaged with her
His hold loosened, her face fill with tears, he try to touch her, but she take step back, he can't see her going far from own , he pull closer and place small kiss on her lips...
Dadi: accha aur kya kya kiya maan
Maan:kiss kiya dadi.
Annie: hoo accha
And annie loud voice brought them back and maan cursed himself for what he said, while geet only pouted at their teasing, they didn't gave another glance at their family
He pull closer by shoulder and both take step out of Mansion for new journey, his mom d ad not able to voice any word ... Maaneet started their journey with new hopes...
Her eyes shining, her face glowing from his love, last night, all misunderstanding, all hesitation wall fall in front of love...
She pushes him and shouts on him
One side you going far from me
Then why you coming close to me
Maan : are you gone mad geet
Why I engage with her
When we are married
Geet : you already give me divorce
Maan : what
Geet : yes
Mom gives me your signed divorce paper
He closes the eyes and remembers how he signed the property paper
This is all traps for him and his geet
.
Geet I signed the paper
But
Mom tell me she accept you
And she want transfer some property on your name
Geet : pakka you saying truth
Maan : you doubting on me
Geet : but what I do maan
You love her
Maan : I only love you
.
She placed head on his heart and said I love you maan
Maan : I love you too
He kissed on her forehead, engulf her in own arms...
