PART - 17
(If any one wants to hear it...)
"Ashquon mein hai yaadien teri
Bheegi bheegi raatein meri
Gum hai kahin raahein meri
Main tere ishq mein Gumrah hua
Main tere ishq mein gumrah hua
main woh chaand jiska
Tere bin no koi aasmaan
Main woh chand jiska tere bin na koi aasmaan"
MAAN was upset and sat in his study alone and aloof. He don't even ate when he got the reason of her being injured. Geet get wounded because by mistake Piya broke the frame of Tia's pic,in his room. She patted her tiny hands and frame's glass broken badly in to pieces which later Pierced in her skin while collecting.
Meri duaaon mein hai mannat teri
Tujhko padha hai tu hai aayat meri
Jannat tu hi hai tu hona na door
Azmat hai tujhse tu hi hai mera noor
Dil ki salaakhien quid rakhe hai
Jaise parinda koi, haan koi..."
Teary eyes only glued to her picture. She was smiling in the picture and he caressing it lovingly like he was touching her. "Why you leave me Tia?" His least audible voice reached to Geet's ears. She glancing at him from a distance. Tears spilling from his eyes. No doubt she could feel his pain but helpless to calm him.
"Ashqon mein hai yaadien teri
bheegi bheegi raatein meri
Gum hai kahi raahein meri
Main tere ishq me gumrah hua
Main tere ishq me gumrah hua
Main woh chaand jiska tere bin na koi aasmaan
Main woh chaand jiska tere bin na koi asmaan
Veeraniyon ka dil me lava jale
Angaron ke saaye mein har pal khale
Gurjar ka lamha phir se aaye na ab
Iss se rehati de de aie mere rabb"
Geet left him alone with his pain. Later she came to check him. He was slept cuddling that frame. She quickly brought pillow and very carefully place underneath his hanging head. It gives strength to his head. Corners of his eyes were still wet. Her fingers got while adjusting the pillow.
"Dil ke taar bandhe hai aise
Jaise bandi beediyaan, bediyan..
Ashquon mein hai yaadein teri
Bheegi bheegi raatein meri
Gum hai kahi raahein meri
Main tere ishq me gumrah hua
Main tere ishq me gumrah hua
Main wo chand jiska tere bina... Na koi asmaan
Main wo chand jiska tere binn na koi asmaan"
Geet covered him with blanket and tried to take that broken frame from him but his grip was so firm that he was not ready to leave his Tia even in sleep. Her heart squeezed seeing his condition.
She stare him for long and then leave. She walked out and stop at the exit. Slanted her neck to glance back.
"You are very lucky Tia. He loves you madly. Har koi nahi hota. Tum na hoke bhi yaha ho or main hoke bhi nahi. Can't say its good or not for..." She stopped with a strange hesitation. The expression on her face was fierce and strangely hurtful. Her body shuddering with her out of control emotions.
Night was dark and long but Sun dawn and brought new day for KM too. Maan was looking calm then last night. At least he was showing it to others. Like daily he spend time with his little doll.
"Maan apka break fast lag gaya hai." She informed and raised her arms to invite Piya into her arms. "Come sweetheart it's bathing time."
Listen the word Bathing and Piya quickly hide her face into her father's chest. Maan for the first time smile before Geet. Seeing Piya's tantrums he smiled though it was for a seconds but she got a chance to see his sculpture lips curved.
"Hwww naughty girl. Nai nai nahi kalni?" Geet asked in a baby tone but Piya repeats her action showing her unwillingness. "Piyu babu come na. Nai nai kal k mera baby Shona Shona lagega,tabi to hum ghumi ghumi jayenge. Aaj Jana hai na. Mumma baby shopping time?" Geet trying to convince her giving her reasons for bathing.
"Wait, what you said? Shopping? You are going outside of the mansion. How dare you Geet? Kis se puchh k tumne ye decision liya hai?" Maan voice having a parted fear and parted anger. He was afraid for both's security.
Geet was in shock hearing his rude words. "Am I still a prisoner here?" First doubt which comes to her mind.
Maan frustrated and turned his back. He don't want to scare her by revealing the truth to her. "I already frees you. It was you who decided to stay. This is my house and only my words were following by all. Tum Piya ko leke is ghar se bahar nahi jaogi and that's final." Maan turned and stare her furiously. Geet's eyes ready to pour tears but she was strong enough to hold them in her deep ocean eyes. Suddenly his tone lowers. But not soft. "Whatever you need for both of you order on phone. Sab yahi aa jayega. But you are not going outside. Understand?" He asked strongly and she only nods before leaving with Piya.
Geet felt hurt. He insults her but she was hurt because she thought his behavior was out of doubt on her. Geet thought might he not trust her enough with Piya that's why he denied. She wants to argue but Maan's possessive love for Tia and her daughter made her mute. She was trying to see him in a different frame.
As Maan commands she ordered new toys and other baby stuff at home. Maan increased the security but fate played like before. In form of delivery boy Vikram crossed the security check and reached to Piya. He had no idea that this girl belongs to him but he knew one thing that Maan had a baby girl and to take revenge from him and Geet he kidnapped Piya. He abducted Piya, use her as his shield. She was in danger which made every guard helpless. One mistake will costs with her life. So they can't take chance.
Geet tried to obstruct his way but Vikram gave her a strong push and she rolled down over stairs. Geet lost her consciousness and he flew away with Piya.
All are in hospital. Maan was tensed. Geet still not get her consciousness back. Mr. Handa arrived with his wife. Both were shattered after hearing about their daughter. Avantika's eyes not ready to take a pause and sheds non stop tears. Maan went to them and joined his hands before them. "Today I want to apologize for my all sins. Aaj mujhe samjh me aaya hai ki jab koi aulad ko chura k le jaye to kaisa feel hota hai. I am sorry. today I got the same pain which I gave you. Please forgive me if you can." He sounds guilty. reflected in his mannerism. He was genuinely felt sorry for abducted her.
Both stare him mutely for seconds but they accept his apology. Meantime doctor come out and all moved to him. "Doctor how is she?" All asked.
He glance all with a stern look. "She is fine and nothing to worry about but...." He took a pause and glanced all.
"What's the matter doctor tell me?" Maan asked strongly.
"Seedio se girne ki wajhse unka miscarriage ho gaya hai. I am sorry Mr. Khurana but you both lost your baby." He revealed and left.
Maan was stunned for a second. They were married from past 2 months, but for outer world. He never ever touched her. But soon he got his all answers. "It must be Vikram's child.", He said in his mind.
Avantika consoled him and he too sealed his mouth,don't let them know the truth. He accepted the unborn in front of them. Don't want to see pain and shame in their eyes.
