Part - 41
Geet may be standing with Dev acknowledging the wishes but her heart is roaming around restlessly trying to come to peace with the decision of her mind....
Geet is surrounded by people and they are blocking her view of Aditi....
After a few formal conversations she couldn't stay there without knowing where her daughter is..... she excuses herself and goes to find Aditi playing with Maan....
Geet is skeptical about Maan's disclosure about his truth to Aditi for she doesn't easily bonds with strangers.... wah wah Geet, Maan kab se stranger ban gaya?
Geet shayad bhool gayi ki there is something called blood relationship.....
Geet ko bohut dar lagtha ki Maan iss shadhi ke bahaane Aditi ko Geet se cheen lega.....
how dare him? who is he to even show himself in front of Aditi?
what right does he have?
If not for herself but for Aditi Geet should stay away from Maan .....
Geet runs and snatches Aditi from Maan.....
Poor Aditi is confused by her mother's weird act....
Maan: sambhalke Geet, Aditi is fine, you go and enjoy the party
Geet: meri beti se dhoor rahe toh achcha hoga
Maan is not at all angry hearing that..... he knows his limits.....
Maan knows very well that someone doesn't become a father just by chance, by an act of natural urges at a weak moment........... Though Maan didn't do it for some guilty pleasure but his act was out of pure love for Geet which he wished would last for a lifetime, he had zero expectations to be a father at that time.... that's the truth and Maan is not someone to bend truth to his convenience....
Neither does a girl becomes a mother by giving him company, but the moment a child is conceived inside her womb she becomes a mother irrespective of the circumstances of her union and irrespective of her partner in the crime, if one could say so.......
Maan: Geet, Aditi is all yours, no one has any right over her other than you Geet, by the way congrats once again and I wish you a very happy married life with Dev
Maan turns around and starts walking away from Geet and his daughter..... he has taken the painful but right decision to walk away from Geet's life and this time never to return.....
Until now he has been hanging on to his love in the little hope of finding his last love back one day....
He never tried to find Geet for this is what he was afraid of, he never wanted to find out that Geet has moved on, that Geet never really missed his love, that she doesn't need Maan, that she has found love in her life again.......
Maan was happy to live with the belief that wherever Geet may be, however she may be, she'll never be able to forget her first love.... so they say.... but it's not always true.... is it?
Whatever it is, Maan would continue to love Geet, and now Aditi too.... but he is not going to intrude in their beautiful family that they've, a pristine relationship that they built with Dev in these five years....
Maan was the one who ran away, is running away and will be running away......
Next day Maan asks Adi to book the next available ticket to Canada....
Maan can't stay here, the more he is far away for Geet the better....
The moments he is with Geet are very addictive, just like his addiction to alcohol, there is also a faulty gene in his body that makes him an addict of Geet, there is something about her that is intoxicating to Maan and Maan alone....
Now that he has found out that Geet has happily moved on he has no right to even think about her....
but he is just a human, he has not yet mastered the art of sainthood...
Maan can't stop thinking about Geet....
He might not have control over his mind but he can control his actions...
that's why he is going to take the same route as before, the social distancing root, the new addtion to our day to day vocabulary, but this is not a metre distance, it's miles and miles away....
Adi booked the ticket.... it's on the next weekend....
Maan is fully confused as to how he would spend these two weeks without meeting Geet....
he knows what to do, yes, run Maan run, run to Delhi....
Adi has booked from the KC account and the whole Khurana pariwaar is upset with the news...
it's a shocker for Dadi the most....
what about Dadi's plans of getting Maan hooked up with Pari..... Maan is going to leave even before attending Pari's brother's wedding....
dadi is actually disappointed with Pari, she couldn't make Maan fall for her when she was in Mumbai...
dadima, Pari is not Geet, Geet hothi toh Maan abhi tak shadhi bhi karletha.... ya toh shadhi ke pehle Honeymoon pe chale jaatha....
Shadhi ke pehle bache paitha kar saktha toh honeymoon kaise nahi mana saktha?
Maan ko toh uss ke liye kahin romantic jagah pe jaane ki zaroorat bhi nahi padthi, Geet saath hai toh har pal romantic ban hi jaatha, haina?
lekhin ab Maan uss mood mein nahi hai.....
He has just realized that he is not all alone now, he is not at his own will now, he has the responsibility of Aditi, Geet may neither need him as a partner nor as a parent but Maan is Aditi's father....
If he is not aware of the truth then it's different, but now he knows about his responsibilities....
Maan knows very well that Geet doesn't want him to share her responsibilities as Aditi's parent...
Geet has every right to keep him away from her life, and maybe from Aditi too as long as she is not convinced that Aditi has to know about her father......
Geet has every right to either tell about Maan or not to Aditi....
Maan is not expecting Geet to introduce him to Aditi as her father in their next meeting....
but Aditi has every right as Maan's child..... Geet can't take that away from Aditi.....
Maan is not bothered about his identity being hidden from Aditi if Geet feels Maan doesn't deserve to own her child, but she can't stop him from performing his duties as a father staying anonymous ...
The real reason of Dadi bringing Maan to India is to pay Maan his dues, rather his inherited dues of his father.....
The Khurana Constructions is his father's brainchild and he has put his blood and soul in establishing KC.... Unfortunately he left everything behind when he had a rift with Maan's Dadaji....
Mohan, Maan's uncle has been living with the burden of taking care of his brother's share, or to put it in straight words, to enjoy the fruits of his brother's hard work without giving him his more than deserving share.....
dadi transferred the rightful properties on Maan's name and gave him the documents the first day itself when he came back....
Maan was not ready to take it for he doesn't have any idea of coming to India....
Maan was planning to give it back to Vicky and Annie itself....
now Maan want's to split it into three parts, one part for Vicky, one for Annie and the last not for himself but for Madan Khurana's very own grand daughter and the rightful owner of his properties, Aditi....
it's bad luck that Aditi couldn't carry on the family surname but that doesn't mean she is not a Khurana, she is a hard core Khurana....
Maan knows how to escape this time, he has to take care of the paper works and for that he has to go to Delhi....
Maan isn't ready to waste time looking for the flight tickets and moreover he always takes solace in long drives in turbulent times like this..... the real medicine for his broken heart has always been alcohol that gives him good company along with some old songs of Mohamad Rabi in those long drives...
Maan hits the road without notice and the already shaken Khurana khandan is in total havoc by his missing.... they already have a lot of experience that's enough to scare them for their entire lifetime...
Maan switches off his mobile too.... he takes a break to get himself ready to part with his daughter which seems impossible.... but he has no other go....
Dev is informed about the missing and the news reaches Geet too....
Geet is happy that at last she could get rid of that guilty feeling that she might be somewhat biased in her decisions..... now she knows she is right, she made the right decisions for herself and most importantly Aditi....
she thanks her babaji for all his guidance and keeps praying for his guidance in the future also....
Geet can console herself by lying to her conscience that she is least bothered about Maan but the truth is she is devastated as if she has lost something that she just found after having lost it for years... yes, she is not so happy as she claims to be.....
Dev tries calling Maan constantly....
Geet says that it's no use for they can only find Maan whenever he wants them to find him....
experience speaking......
Dadi sends Vicky to Mumbai.... Vicky comes and meets Dev....
he also finds out about Geet but Dev introduces her and Adity as his family.....
Geet too pretends to be least bothered, Vicky thinks that this is the reason for his brother's missing for the second time too....
he is really pissed off with Geet and he immediately returns to Delhi and makes arrangements to watch the flight bookings for Canada....
now the whole Khurana family is angry with Geet....... they have the impression that Geet married Dev and settled happily while Maan ruined his life thinking about her.....
