Part - 43
Maan has successfully passed a week on his way back to Delhi....
this time he couldn't touch alcohol though....
Everytime he tried to open a bottle he is reminded of her.....
no no not Geet, Aditi, his little princess....
he has yet to fulfill his duties.... he has to wait till he returns to his single life back in Canada....
Maan wanted to free his mind of his past, specially Geet but the whole time he just revisited the past and his happy days with Geet...
He has no regrets that Geet has moved on forgetting Maan, but b'coz of that she can't stop Maan from living in the past, haina?
He has such wonderful memories to live with for the rest of his life....
maybe he would stalk his daughter from Canada, he knows that Dev'll keep him updated if not Geet....
he can at least dream of meeting Aditi whenever Dev comes to Canada....
Maan knows Dev has a lot of friends in Canada and frequently visits them...
Maan can invite him once in a while, if Geet permits!!!!!!!!
Now he will have the future of his daughter along with the past of Geet to survive....
that's a very good improvement, haina?
Maan calls the lawyer and finishes all the formalitiesof the papers .........
Dadi is so happy to see Maan back....
Maan is not going to abscond this time, he has come to stay with his family for a few days and he'll be in constant touch with them......
Dadi asks Maan to forget Geet and just try to move on....
Dadi can't stop herself from bringing Geet in for all the troubles that Maan goes through......
Maan requests everyone not to blame Geet and be happy for Geet like how Maan is very happy for her.... his happiness lies in her happiness....
he doesn't tell about Aditi to anyone........
Annie changes her mind on seeing her brother broken.... she can't let him go back to his lonely self like this..... he badly needs someone in his life now..... Annie has to go back to implementing the wedding plans as per schedule....
Annie is adamant that Maan stays for her brother-in-laws wedding....
Annie has one last chance to try and work out something between Pari and Maan....
This wedding proposal would have been made official during Pari's brother's wedding itself if only Maan didn't meet Geet in Mumbai....
Annie too understands the fact that it's no use blaming poor Pari, she would have had zero chance while Geet was there....
Annie has brainwashed Pari's parents in the gap and they are almost certain that Maan is their damad........
Annie was so excited that she'll have the strong support of her bro in her sasuraal....
it's not that she has any problems, Arjun is Annie's katputli, still Maan's presence at their family gatherings would be different....
Annie likes Geet, but after the Handas took revenge for something that happened in the previous generation by rejecting Maan that too for no mistake of his is very harsh, now no one wants any kind of links with the Handas forever....
Maan requests Dadi that he wants to spend the week happily with the family for he doesn't know when he'll he meet them again....
Maan arranges a lavish party for the latest couple in the family, Vicky and Nian Tara.....
Maan wants to just enjoy the family time with his little brother and sister who have showered him with unconditional love and accepting him as their elder brother with due respect...
while he is disappointed with his failed love life he is not ready to punish his family b'coz of that like last time....
Maan wants to redeem himself by acknowledging their love and concern, he wants to show them that he is always grateful to be a part of this family.....
Maan gifts the Hoshiarpur farmland along with the Khurana farm house that Dadi gave him to Annie...
Maan transfers his share holdings in KC, Delhi business to Nian Tara's name....
Maan has the strong belief that once a girl leaves her home and comes to another home accepting it as her new home, she immediately becomes the princess of that new home and she has equal rights as the daughter in the family.....
Nian Tara is overwhelmed and she makes Maan her Rakhi brother.....
Maan is happy that though he has lost one relationship, he has found two new relationships to compensate, one as Aditi's father and the other as Nian Tara's brother....
It's Friday and Maan returns to Mumbai as per schedule though his flight is postponed for he doesn't want to postpone that important duty he has to perform for his daughter....
This time he is not running away from any of his responsibilities like a coward as Geet says, he is going to leave only when he is totally satisfied that he has taken care of all his responsibilities without any complaints....
Maan wants to meet Geet and see his daughter before leaving....
Maan calls Geet...... Geet is really happy to hear from Maan.... she was actually worried about him...
Geet is surprised that Maan is still in India....
Geet: halo
Maan: Geet, mujhe tumse ek zaroori baat karna hai, akhele
Geet: mujhe lagtha hai ki hummari batein katam ho gayi hai, ab mein apse koi baat nahi karna chahthi hoon
Maan: I know Geet, there is nothing left between us, it's not about us Geet, it's about Aditi....
Geet panics hearing Aditi's name from Maan's mouth....
Geet: Aditi? Aditi ka kya? you have no right to even utter her name
Geet loses her control and turns mad....
Geet: Aditi meri beti hai, sirf meri, samjhe aap, Aditi ke naam dubara mat lena
Geet cuts the call frustrated.......
Maan keeps calling Geet again and again....
Maan ke paas aur koi sahara bhi nahi hai....
Maan doesn't have much time to waste....
Maan knows Aditi's pre-school timings and is sure that Geet would herself come definitely to pick Aditi today.... she is very very over-protective being a single mother....
Maan goes to Aditi's class and waits for Geet...
he doesn't want to upset Geet by meeting Aditi on his own....
Geet comes carrying Aidti and talking to her....
Maan is waiting in the car just a little away from the school...
Maan gets out of the car and walks towards Geet....
Geet is scared seeing Maan there...
she thinks that Maan has come to take Aditi from her.......
Geet starts running........ Maan easily catches her and stops her......
Geet is agitated.... she tries to escape....
Maan: Geet, kabrao mat, I just wanted to see Aditi one last time before going back to Canada
Geet is shocked by his reaction....
she would have been happy had Maan fought with her for Aditi....
she had been waiting for that only all these days, how she wished she showed him his place and shoot him all the questions that would make him speechless....
she has always thought about such a situation when she could put him in the accused stand and list all his wrong doings, proving that he is guilty of each and every accusation
Geet has always thought of such a situation where Maan would try to misuse his so called rights as a father.....
where was he when Aditi and Geet needed him the most?
where was he when Geet wanted no one but Maan to share her happiness with?
where was he when all she wanted was only Maan by her side when she evolved from a girl into a mother.... how desperate she wanted to share each and every moment of Aditi's growth with Maan only.....
Geet keeps staring Maan for she has gone numb.....
Maan understands her insecurities very well....
Maan: Geet, I'm not going to trouble you anymore, I've given you enough troubles for a lifetime, now I just came to tell you that you need not worry about me, I'll never ever tell the truth about Aditi, it's up to you to decide in future about telling the truth to her, I'm fine to remain like this forever, ye Maan SIngh Khurana ka wada hai
Geet doesn't know how to react.... Maan has totally surrendered...
If only Maan just tries to fight over his rights over his beloved daughter Geet would vent out all her pent up anger in one go and would be relieved off the burden she has been carrying all the while....
Geet had always anticipated Maan to fight for Aditi's custody one day when she'd not even let him see her daughter and let him endure the pain just like Geet did in the past.....
But as usual Maan has chosen the easy way out instead of facing the battle field, Geet is very much disappointed that she lost out a chance to make Maan pay back.....
Now she too has to wear the diplomatic hat......
Geet let's Aditi down and steps back to make room for Maan....
Maan signals little Aditi to come closer....
she goes to him, Maan lift her in his arms and kisses her goodbye....
Maan then gives tan envelope to Geet....
Geet looks at him puzzled....
Maan: Good bye Geet, bye Aditi
Maan goes from there immediately.... Geet is still in a shock....
She can't say that she is happy now even though Maan has only given her what she wanted, freedom... freedom from her past.....
Geet keeps staring at Maan till his car vanishes from her sight....
Geet gets back to her senses only when Aditi pulls the envelope in her hand.....
Geet is confused looking at the envelope....
what would that be?
A letter for Aditi on her 18th birthday maybe, like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, where Maan has addressed her as her father..... maybe he has left it to Geet whether to give it to Aditi or not........
Geet thinks it's best to destroy it whatever it might be....
she doesn't want to have anything related to Maan with her that would keep haunting her....
