Chapter 134

"Maan, dadima must be awake by now" Geet climbed out of bed grabbing his shirt and slipping into it, she glanced over her shoulder, he was on his stomach with his eyes closed seemingly asleep. "Maan" she called knowing full well he wasn’t sleeping. "Maan" she grabbed his jeans and chucked in his direction.

"What the…" Maan groaned sitting up, the belt had struck his shoulder.

"Did it hurt?" she asked.

"Why do you think I got up?" he answered shaking his head.

"Good, abhi chalo" she huffed hurrying into their bathroom and stepped into the shower.

"You want me to join you? Won't that make you late?" he called out teasingly.

"Maan, go and check on dadima. We've not checked on dadima yet" she responded loudly.

"I'll be quick" he told her stepping into the shower. Geet shook her head and slapped his hand away as he reached over for her and warned him.

Maan chuckled slid his arm around her waist and pulled his wife to him, he cupped her chin and lowered his head kissing her adamantly.

"We*kiss*need to check*kiss*on dadima*kiss*" she murmured in between his soft gentle kisses. "Two minutes…" he answered and kissed her deeply pressing her back against the tiled walls, he pulled away pecking her lips then had a quick shower stepping out towelling himself dry. Maan then slipped on his jeans, snagging a clean t-shirt and walked out of his bedroom to go check on dadima as he promised Geet.

"Dadima" he knocked on her bedroom door and pushed open the door when she didn’t respond. He walked over towards her noting she was sat on the chair, Maan walked around crouching in front of dadima as she stared out ahead.

"Dadima…" he touched her knee.

Dadima snapped out of her thoughts, looking down at her grandson. She reached out cradling his cheek, and pulled him close, Maan pushed forward hugging her around her middle.

"I'm okay" Maan assured after a while, he pulled back pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"Yeh aurat…" Dadima sighed, "Never had I imagined she enter our lives again".

"She hasn’t entered our lives and we're not going to let that happen" Maan responded, "Dadima, please don’t stress. I'm okay" he held onto her hands and squeezed.

"Have you spoken to Geet?" she questioned.

"She knows a little, I'm going to tell her. I've asked for some time" he replied.

Dadima nodded still looking concerned, she was afraid of her grandson pulling away from everyone and burying himself into his work.

"Dadima, we're going to live our life. She isn't going to affect us anymore, you're not going to let her and I won't as well" he stated. "She's taken years of my life, I'm not going to let her affect my life anymore".

Dadima nodded agreeing with him, Gayatri had ruined many years of their lives, they weren’t going to give her any more of their time.

"Geet, kahan hai?" dadima questioned.

"She's…" before he could answer, Geet appeared sliding her arms around dadima from behind.

"I'm right here" Geet pressed a kiss to dadima's cheek. "Dadima, I'm hungry – can we all go and eat something?" she looked at her husband then looked at dadima.

Dadima chuckled, "Teek hai bete" she stood with Maan's assistance and walked out together.

"Bete, why is your hair wet? Did you have another shower?" dadima questioned Geet as they entered the kitchen.

"Uh…"

"Yes, Geet why is it wet for?" Maan intervened looking as curiously as dadima.

"Maan" Geet gaped at him and scowled.

"Arre kya hua?" dadima smiled. "Aap Maan pe kyun gussa ho rahe hai?"

"I know, Geet"

"Maan, why don’t you tell dadima why your hair is looking a little damp?" Geet snapped.

Dadima glanced over and noticed her grandson's hair seemed a little damp as well, she looked between the two and laughed. "Samajh gayi main…3 years and you're still in the honeymooning stage".

"It only took Geet a year to take notice of me" Maan winked.

"Dekh rahe hai, dadima?" Geet pointed, "You ignored me for a year".

"I didn’t" Maan shook his head, "I remember those cartoon clothes you used to wear, now had I been ignoring you, would I have remembered that?" he asked.

"Urgh! I hate you" Geet scowled. "Dadima, aapko yaad haina – Maan didn’t want me to work with him".

"You refused when I asked" Maan responded.

"Geet sahi keh rahi hai, I asked so many times" Dadima agreed chuckling.

"Geet avoided me at all costs" Maan stated, "Do you remember wanting to see if I had any marks after going skiing, she ran away" he pointed.

"I… I don’t gawp at stranger's bodies" Geet cut in.

"Dekha dadima, she considered me a stranger. I'm sure it was well over 9 months of being married" he responded. "I told you, it took her over a year to take notice of me".

"I was looking for Shah Rukh Khan's Raj, Rahul in your face, but I didn’t find it, so I settled for Maan Khurana, that’s why it took me over a year to take notice".

Before Maan could reply, dadima cut in.

"Bas, bas… Let's have dinner peacefully" she told them.

Maan heated the curries, whilst Geet rolled out fresh chapattis and made them in the flattened pan, dadima placed the plates and glasses of water on the table.

"Do you want vegetables?" Maan pulled out a steamed bag and tossed it into the microwave.

"I'll share with you" she answered, "I wouldn’t be able to finish it".

"Dadima?" Maan held out a steamed bag.

"Nahi bete" dadima shook her head and cut up some fruit for afters.

"Where are you lost?" Amelia asked Meera, they were sat in the waiting area to be called inside by the doctor. Karan was stood by the wall unable to sit calmly, today they were meeting up with a specialised oncologist who was one of the best. He feared of what the oncologist may have to say after running the number of tests.

He feared of the challenges ahead of them, he had never been afraid of what may be lying ahead in his path however today, he was scared.

He was silently praying for some sort of silver lining in the dark clouds that had darkened up their lives.

"Meers" Amelia nudged her when she didn’t answer.

"I…I…" Meera had pondered over what Anisha had told her last time, her bump was visible – not so much but it was visible. She wouldn’t be able to hide it for more than a couple of weeks, one of them would catch on and notice it and they'd be really upset.

"Amelia" the doctor walked out of the room calling her name.

"That's us" Karan walked over, his arms instantly going around her waist helping her up off her chair.

"I'll tell you after" Meera promised seeing Amelia about to protest, Amelia nodded and entered the doctor's room with Karan and Meera besides her. She silently hoped that he give her some hope, she didn’t want to die.

Dadima had settled on the sofa after dinner, whilst Maan and Geet cleared up.

"Maan… do you think dadima should stay here?" Geet asked softly, their open plan apartment had one disadvantage, the living area was only a couple of metres away. The sofa thankfully on the other side.

"What do you mean?" he turned his head after putting the glasses away.

"Maan… Dadima is stressing and worrying" Geet murmured and glanced over to where dadima was sat, she wasn’t focused on anything in particular once again. She seemed lost in her own thoughts.

"We've… Since…" Geet swallowed thickly, "It's been something or the other, all this stress isn't going to be good for dadima especially when she's got a few heart problems".

Maan agreed, and glanced over to where dadima was sitting. "That woman not only affected me and Vikrant, she hurt my dadima a lot as well" he murmured.

"Seeing her here is hurting dadima" Geet stated softly.

"Would you be okay?" he asked, Geet knew what he was asking.

"You're here" she responded.

"Always, always Geet" he promised reaching for her hand and squeezed. Geet smiled and looked over where dadima was sat, her smile faltered seeing dadima overthinking and allowing the woman affect her. She hated seeing her hurting, she wanted to push out of the hurt out of dadima's life, she didn’t want anything hurting the woman who'd loved her like a mother for the last couple of years. Maybe her suggestion would be a distraction for dadima and allow her mind to be focused on something else other than Gayatri.

Chapter 135

"Hi Amelia, I'm Dr Andrea Taylor" the doctor stood introducing herself and held out her hand to Amelia.

"Hi" Amelia smiled gently and shook her hand. "This is my friend Meera and…" she looked at Karan.

"Karan, her boyfriend" Karan introduced holding out his hand.

"Please, take a seat" Andrea gestured to the chairs and returned to her chair. "I understand you would like a consultation?" she questioned.

"We heard you're one of the best Oncologists here" Karan stated.

Andrea smiled, "I've had a look through the scans and the medical report from previous doctors" she responded pulling open the file and looked at Amelia. "Amelia, as the doctors may have told you, you're Stage 2".

Amelia nodded biting down on her lower lip, tensed.

"I examined the reports and note that you're 2A Stage breast cancer" she continued. "There are many treatments out there, however we want to choose one that you're going to be confident with" she smiled.

Amelia nodded.

"Is it treatable?" Meera asked concerned.

"Yes, Stage 2 is treatable considering the cancerous cells hasn’t spread" Andrea explained, "Seeing these scans, it seems it hasn’t spread yet therefore I would like to start treatment as soon as possible" she added. "Treatment includes a surgery to remove the affected lymph nodes, I will remove normal breast tissue just to be sure that I have removed all the cancer – this is called lumpectomy" she continued, "Also, I will be examining the lymph nodes close to your breast to ensure it does not contain cancer cells".

Amelia listened attentively but it was going through her, she sighed heavily closing her eyes.

Karan reached out lacing his fingers with hers and squeezed in assurance.

"Amelia" Andrea gently called her name, "You're scared but we're going to be here for you" she responded.

Amelia nodded, tears slipped down her eyes as she tried to hold herself together.

"We're going to beat cancer together" Andrea stated with a small smile.

"F*ck" Maan yelled standing up from the sofa.

Geet looked and giggled, she bent down lifted up her kitten in and cuddled her kitten, dadima laughed from where she'd been sat.

"How is this thing living here? I thought I told you to get rid of it" he looked at his wife.

"I also promised, if you kick my Tinkerbell out, I'm not letting you back in" Geet reminded.

"Geet, your Tinkerbell can't live here. I don’t like them" he scowled and moved to the other sofa sitting down.

"You'll like her once you get to know her" Geet shrugged kissing her Tinkerbell.

"Just like you liked Geet, once you got to know her" Dadima laughed. "She's adorable".

"I'm sure you're supposed to be MY dadima" Maan frowned.

"Geet's my favourite" Dadima replied.

Maan was about to answer, however the knock on the door disturbed them.

He stood up and walked over, as he opened the door his mood shifted.

Sanjana stood outside.

"Hi, Maan" Sanjana shifted on her feet, "Can I come in to talk?" she asked.

Maan was about to respond however Geet walked over.

"Sanjana?" she looked questioningly.

"Can we come in to talk?" Taz walked out and joined Sanjana's side.

"I asked for some space" Geet replied.

"This is important, I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t think you guys didn’t need to know" Sanjana responded.

Maan and Geet shared a look, Maan stepped aside a moment after opening the door wider allowing them into their apartment.

Dadima frowned seeing Sanjana and Taz entering.

"Hey" Taz cooed brushing her fingers across Tinkerbell's cheek as she walked past Geet. "How's she been?"

"She's good" Geet smiled softly.

Maan walked across standing by the windows whilst the ladies settled on the sofa.

"What did you need to say?" Maan questioned, his hands stuffed into his pocket as he watched them with an intense stare.

"I don’t know how Gayatri is really related to you guys, but she's saying…" Sanjana started, "Geet, she's saying that your dadima is her mother and that Maan is her son"

"She's not my daughter" Dadima intervened, "She can never be an honest woman" she looked disgusted. "She was never my daughter" she stated.

"She's telling all sorts to Aditya and he… he's stupidly naïve and he loves her so much that he believes anything she says. I want him to know that his mother is a liar" Sanjana responded.

"We don’t want anything to do with this woman, she doesn’t mean anything to us. If she's lying to you and if you want Aditya to know that woman is a liar, that is for you to figure out" Maan replied. "She is not our concern".

"Maan" Geet looked at Maan disappointingly.

"You're not going to get involved Geet" he told her, "I don’t want you anywhere near her".

Geet looked apologetically between Sanjana and Taz.

"Thanks for being such great neighbours" Taz spoke out as she stood, "You know, we didn’t have to be nice and be your friends but we did. The least you can do is be helpful and tell us the sort of woman has entered our friend's lives".

"I don’t care about her, but she's going to hurt a lot of hurt to the man I love" Sanjana stated as she stood to leave. "We just wanted the truth about her".

Maan remained unresponsive, Geet glanced over at her shoulder and knew the man stood across the room was the businessman who'd closed himself off.

"Just know that she's a compulsive vicious liar" Dadima stated, "Be careful".

Sanjana and Taz looked defeated walking out of their apartment.

Vikrant walked back and forth as he waited for his wife to return home, usually it was him that was busy with his shooting but today he had returned home early only to find Meera isn't home. He had called her phone however that had gone through to voicemail, he had sent quite a few text messages to her phone. He knew his wife was still upset with him and he had to make up for it. He hated seeing her so upset, he had promised to be the best husband she deserved and during this time he's hurt her. He heart the sound of her car and looked concerned as she walked in a few minutes later.

"Meers, what happened?" he walked over towards her.

"Amelia's got Stage 2" Meera murmured, "She's trying to be brave, but I know she's hurting" she sighed. "I've told her I'll meet her back at Karan's in a bit".

"I'll come with you" Vikrant responded enveloping his wife in his arms.

"A year ago, we had everything Vikrant" Meera murmured, "We had our whole family but we're all scattered" she closed her eyes tightly.

"What are you doing?" Geet walked into the study and found her husband sat on his desk.

"Just looking up some places on sale" he answered.

"Sale for what?" Geet walked around and smiled. "You're looking for me?"

"Mmhmm" Maan nodded keeping his eyes on his screen.

"Maan Khurana" Geet called and turned his chair slightly, Maan sighed and tilted his head back to meet his wife's eyes. "I love you" Geet smiled widely.

Maan smiled in relief and pulled her onto his lap and hugged her, "Thank you".

"Maan, please tell me" she looked hopefully cradling his cheek.

He closed his eyes pressing his forehead to hers, his jaw clenched as he thought about the woman, he wanted to wipe off every memory of her from his mind.

He opened his eyes and stared directly into his wife's curious softened eyes.

"She… she was my world" he started. "I loved her, I loved like you wouldn’t believe Geet. One point in my life, I loved my mother more than I loved dadima".

Geet noticed the unshed tears in her husband's eyes and felt the hurt that he had gone through as he told her about his entire past. She couldn’t help but feel his pain.

Geet enveloped Maan into her arms tightly as he broke down, he revealed everything.

"It was all a lie, she lived a lie just so she could get her hands on the little money dad had" he murmured burrowing his face into the hollow of her neck. "When she realised, he didn’t have much and the little money he had gone to me and Vikrant – she walked out without a backward glance. I would’ve… I would’ve done anything for her, I would’ve given her the world if she asked me… If only… if only she just stayed".

Geet wondered how could a mother wound her child so selfishly? She would given her own life up if it meant that her daughter could be brought back to her for a moment.

How does a mother hurt her own flesh and blood?

"What did you want to tell me before?" Amelia asked as she settled back comfortably on the bed stretching out her legs.

Meera glanced over at Karan and Vikrant who settled on the edge of the bed, then looked back at Amelia.

"Meers, come on. You're worrying me" Amelia nudged.

"Geet's told me she's been calling your phone but you haven’t called her back" Meera changed the subject.

Amelia sighed twisting the band she had on her wrist, "How do I speak to her normally?" she questioned, then looked at Meera, "That isn't what you wanted to tell me. Meers please…"

Meera recalled what Anisha had said, how long until she's able to hide this from anyone.

"I… I'm pregnant" she revealed.

Amelia stared surprised and grinned widely after a very very long time.

"I'm going to be an aunty!" she squealed.

Meera smiled nodding her head, tears filled her eyes.

Amelia felt so happy and hugged Meera tightly, "I cannot believe it! I'm so so happy for you" she gushed.

"Congratulations man" Karan gave Vikrant a hug.

"I'm so so happy for you" Amelia repeated smiling widely.

"Thanks" Meera sniffed, "That's why you've got to fight this thing. I want the baby to see our crazy Amelia" she swiped her cheeks.

Amelia chuckled and cried at the same time, both friends hugged one another crying and smiling at the same time.

Amelia pulled back after a while, "Have you told Geet?" she questioned.

"I'm scared, what if I just bring back the memories she's…" Meera responded. "I… I'm going to tell her but just not right now…"

Amelia nodded, she understands in a way. She herself couldn’t gather enough strength and courage up to tell Geet about her cancer.

"Maan is going to hate us" Karan spoke as he settled on the bench outside with Vikrant.

"I know" Vikrant sighed heavily, "Dadima is going to be even more hurt ad bhabhi is… I don’t even know about bhabhi, is it right?" he asked.

"What?" Karan looked confused.

"Is it right to keep all this from them?" he asked. "Bhai and bhabhi were at my side when I revealed that I married Meera, they're the ones that helped me. Bhabhi supported me openly and… Shouldn’t she know what her two best friends are going through?" he questioned.

Geet entered their bedroom handing a cup of coffee to Maan as he sat with the laptop.

"Are you okay?" she questioned.

Maan turned his head offering a small smile, he hadn't felt so lightheaded in a while. He had revealed to Geet about Gayatri, and his wife simply held onto him hugging him in assurance.

"You're with me, I'll be okay" he answered softly.

Geet smiled climbing into bed and pressed a kiss to his temple, she shifted and settled resting her head on his shoulder as he scrolled through his laptop screen surfing for a building on sale. "Thank you for searching for me" Geet thanked him.

"Whilst its being renovated, why don’t you get some experience?" he questioned.

"I…I'll probably ask around at other places" Geet responded.

"They're your friends Geet, you can work with them" Maan turned to look at his wife, "I… I just don’t want that woman to come anywhere near you".

"Even if she comes near me, I know what sort of woman she is, Maan. She'd do well to keep away from me" she responded.

Maan looked slightly amused, "And why's that?"

"I'm Maan Khurana's wife, I'm going to glare at her" Geet mockingly narrowed her eyes.

Maan chuckled cupping his wife's chin and pressed a gentle kiss, to her lips "Thank you" he whispered appreciatively.

Geet smiled nodding her head and turned her attention to the laptop screen. "If this is going to be mine, then I want to take the business loan out in my name" she told him.

Maan looked like he was going to argue when she cut him off again.

"Maan, I want to be able to call this mine. I want to be able to say this is my little business that I done on my own" she responded.

"Okay" he reluctantly agreed and continued to look around for buildings on for sale.

Ch 134

Maan being naughty teasing Geet...

Loved their nokzok...

Geet and Maan trying their best to distract Dadima from thinking of Gayatri but it would not be easy we think...

It would be nice that they shift to India then they won't be influenced by her...

Hope Amelia is not so seriously ill and her disease is treatable...

When we have love of our loved once then miracles do happen...

Waiting for that to happen...

Chapter 136

Geet entered their room with a cup of coffee for Maan ashe got ready, due to having an early morning meeting in another town he wasleaving earlier than usual.

"Coffee" she placed his travel mug down on thedressing table.

"Thanks" Maan pecked her cheek as he grabbedhis tie and continued his task of getting ready, Geet settled on the edge ofthe dressing table watching him.

"What?" Maan didn’t look away from the mirroras he fixed his tie.

"I was thinking about yesterday" Geet softlymurmured approaching the topic carefully.

Maan paused and turned his head to her, "What aboutyesterday?"

"Don’t you think Sanjana and Aditya should know?"she questioned.

Maan looked away and continued fixing his tie, he pickedup the brush and ran it through his hair and grabbed his blazer.

"Maan" Geet stood and held onto his arm.

"You're not going to speak to them about my past"Maan stated.

"Oh" Geet looked surprised and cradled hischeek, "What makes you think I am going to tell them about your past,Maan?" she questioned. "I wouldn’t ever speak about that to someoneelse, you told me that in confidence. That is yours to tell, it isn't mine"she shook her head.

"How do you expect to warn them without revealing mypast?" he asked.

Geet contemplated for a moment, "I'll find a way"she responded.

Maan pinched the bridge of his nose sighing heavily, heknew his wife all too well by now. She was going to struggle finding anotherway, but she wouldn’t give up.

"Don’t go into details" he told her.

Geet looked at him appreciatively, she had been concernedthroughout the night as she thought over what Maan had revealed. Taz was rightabout them helping and offering their friendship when they knew no one here andit had helped her. It was only fair they help them now that there was a viciouswoman digging her claws into another family.

"Thank you" she responded softly tiptoeing andpressed a kiss to his jaw.

"Be ready at 4, we're going to view the building"he stated grabbing his travel mug and laptop bag. "We've got 3 buildingsto case" he added.

"Okay, I'm going to do a morning shift at the café"she informed following him to the front door. "I'll probably take dadimawith me".

"If she doesn’t want to"

"I know, if she doesn’t want to see anyone then Iwon't" Geet finished, Maan smiled turning around just as he opened thedoor to leave.

"I love you" he pressed a kiss to her nose.

Geet glanced over her shoulder checking to see if dadimawas around, but figured she was still sleeping considering it was only half 7in the morning, she then turned back to Maan teasingly gesturing him with herindex finger telling him to come forward.

Maan smirked and kissed his wife properly, Geet smiledreciprocating entwining her arms around his neck. "Have a good day, andremember that I love you" she murmured pulling back after a moment.

"Love you too" he pressed a kiss to herforehead and walked out of their apartment.

"Where are you two going?" Anisha questionedseeing Vikrant and Meera leaving.

"Back home" Vikrant answered.

"You're both going to move in here for the nextcouple of months" Anisha stated.

"Par aunty" Vikrant looked confused.

"Vikrant, Meera is pregnant and she should besurrounded by us all" Anisha explained. "And you're busy withwrapping up your show as well" she reminded. "I would’ve come andstayed with her, but I also need to be here for Amelia".

"We're going to be fine aunty" Meera said, itwas going to be too much for her, she wouldn’t be worried for one person buttwo.

"I'm not listening to either of you, Vikrant getyour things moved here. Maaji isn't over there, nor are Maan and Geet there.Come and live with us for now, until they're back" Anisha stated andwalked forward cradling Meera's cheek, "At least whilst Karan and Vikrantare at work, you won't feel lonely or bored. When are you going on maternityleave?"

"In another 3 months, I've cut my hours to part timefor the time being" Meera explained. "I'm only working for mornings"

"You'd be back home by lunch and we'd be awake andwaiting, this way Amelia wouldn't be feeling so lonely" Anisha responded, "Arainais busy at court, she doesn’t come home until evening sometimes".

Meera nodded and looked at Vikrant who'd smiled silentlyagreeing.

"2 Chocolate choux bun please with fresh cream witha caramel latte and shot of espresso".

Taz jotted down the order, "£4.28"

Taz took the money and told them she'd bring over theirorder, she turned to call out the order glancing over her shoulder and frownedseeing Geet entering.

"See to them" she told her colleague and walkedout from behind the counter. "Geet…?"

"Hi" Geet smiled faintly.

"What are you doing here?" Taz questioned.

"I wanted to return to my working experience"Geet responded, noting that Taz looked like she was going to refuse, "AfterI speak to you and Sanjana" she added.

"Sanjana is teaching a class right now" Tazreplied, "You're going to tell us what's going on?" she questioned.

Geet nodded, "I spoke to my husband, he's agreed.But I'm not going into detail".

"Fine, whilst she finishes her class" Taz responded,"Why don’t you go behind the counter and take orders?"

Geet smiled, "Thank you".

Taz nodded with a smile, "Go…" she gesturedfollowing her behind the counter.

Geet settled behind the counter taking orders whilst Tazwent to help her colleagues on completing the orders, whilst they made the hotdrinks, Taz added finishing decorations on her sweet pastries that were orderedone after the other.

"I need a drink" Sanjana sounded exhaustedchucking her empty bottle away and crouched down opening the mini fridgegrabbing another sparkling water bottle. Unscrewing the lid, she took a largeswig of the flavoured water frowning when she noticed Geet stood on the other side."What is she doing here?" she screwed her lid back on and looked atTaz.

"She wants to speak to us" she replied.

"She wants to talk now? Not when we'd gone aroundyesterday".

"Please hear me out" Geet cut in.

"Does your husband know you're here?" sheglanced around.

"Sanjana, I know you're disappointed but please letme explain" Geet responded.

"C'mon lets give her a chance" Taz nudged her.

Sanjana frowned, Taz shook her head then glanced over atGeet, "C'mon we'll go into the back" she pointed. Geet nodded andfollowed them both to the back room.

"What did she tell you guys?" Geet asked asthey settled on the table.

Sanjana still looked peeved.

"You want Aditya to know her truth now? Yes or no?"Taz crossed her arms.

Sanjana scowled at her friend, "Shut up! You know Ido!!"

"Tell her, then" she pointed.

She huffed and looked at Geet, "Gayatri told Aditya,your dadima is her mother. She was apparently kicked out of your lives by hermother, and your dadima kept Maan and her other son behind. She said she wasthreatened and her sons were brainwashed against her by her mother" sherevealed.

Geet looked disgusted as she listened to the lies thatGayatri had spread, "As you both know by now, Dadima isn't her mother.She's… She's Gayatri's mother in law".

"What?" Sanjana looked surprised.

"Gayatri was married previously, as you must know"

"Yeah we came to know that recently. She apparentlytold all this to her husband" Sanjana responded. "We didn’t even knowshe had sons".

"Gayatri was married to my father in law, when hepassed away he had nothing to his name, whatever little he had he put in Maan'sand Vikrant's name, when she learned she wasn’t getting anything – she walkedout of their lives" Geet explained. "She left her two children formoney", as Maan asked Geet didn’t go into details, she stated the obviouswithout giving the details of their lives.

Sanjana and Taz though disgusted by her actions, itdidn’t surprise them so much. They'd seen certain sides to Gayatri and hatedher for it.

"How does someone do that to a child?" Tazwondered. "For money…"

"Her niceness or whatever she is showering oneveryone, its all fake. She doesn’t care about that, her first love is money"Geet responded.

"Oh shit…" Sanjana looked at Taz.

Taz understood, "Aditya's dad is going to remarryher on their 10th anniversary, and he's going to transferring 50% ofthe company to her name"

"And there was no prenup before they married"Sanjana responded, "So she could file for divorce after that time and get 50%of everything. Not just the company".

"Stop her before that" Geet replied, "Becauseshe'd walk out with the money she wants and not look back once at the lives sheruined".

"Aditya is going to be reluctant to believe me, heknows that me and his mother don’t get along. He's not going to believe Tazeither or you because you're a friend".

"Would your husband speak to Aditya?" Tazasked. "He's quite… he doesn’t look like a pushover and Aditya has knownhim for the last couple of months, he might just be inclined to believe him?"

"I've told you what I can, Maan is… Maan doesn’twant anything to do with this"

"How about we throw subtle hints at delaying thetransferring of the company?" Sanjana suggested. "We say the stuff infront of her".

"You can say that Aditya's dads getting Samir tolook it over and Samir could say there's a problem with is so until itsrectified – it shouldn’t be transferred" Taz responded.

"She's going to want to hurry the process, it wouldalso piss her off" Sanjana smiled. "Maybe she'd slip and Aditya mightbelieve it".

"And if Aditya believes it then its going to be easyfor his dad to believe Aditya because for uncle, Aditya is much more preciousthan this second trophy wife" Taz continued.

"I could do with some help out here" Vera swungopen the door yelling.

"Fck sakes, who died" Taz jumped and walkedout followed by Geet and Sanjana.

"Oh wow..." Taz looked apologetically at Veraand went to help her seeing the amount of people lined up, it was lunch hourrush. "Geet, counter – take the orders" Taz stated, "Sanjanasort the drinks, Lily clear up tables and open the entrance for upstairs tables"she pointed rolling up her sleeves and started making the orders with the helpof Vera and Frankie.

"Are you at home?" Maan questioned over thephone as he drove home.

"Yeah, I'm just making sandwiches. Want one?"

"I'll be parking up outside soon, be downstairs.Also yes, I'd like one. I'm starving"

"Okay" Geet responded. "I need to changeas well"

"We won't have time, the appointment is at 4pm"Maan responded. "No need to change".

"I'm wearing your shirt and my shorts" Geetreplied.

"Don’t give me that image" Maan groaned, "I'mdriving"

Geet giggled, "I'll just quickly change whilst thesesandwiches grill themselves" she told him hurrying into their bedroom.

"What were doing wearing my shirt?" Maan askedcuriously.

"I just threw the closest shirt I could find, I'dhelped out at the café and had chocolate stuck on my t-shirt so after my showerI grabbed yours because dadima was calling for me".

"How is dadima?" Maan asked. "Is she okaytoday?"

"Yeah, dadima is coming with us as well. I told her"

"Alright, I'll come up to help her down" Maanresponded.

"Okay, thanks. I'm changed now, where are you?"

"Nearly there" Maan responded, "Feeddadima, I'll be there soon" he told her then cut the call. He parked upentering the lift in the parking area and headed up to their floor.

He stepped out of the elevator and collided into Gayatri.

Maan unaware, grabbed a hold of the woman before she'dfallen.

As her head tilted back and he saw the woman, he releasedher wrist.

Gayatri gasped and fell onto her back and shot a glare.Maan clenched his jaw and stepped over her heading towards his apartment.

Just then Sanjana walked out of her apartment with Taz.

"Did you just fall?" Sanjana asked seeingGayatri on the floor.

Gayatri stood brushing off her dress and glanced behindher, Maan wasn’t there. She grated her teeth and looked at Sanjana, "There'snothing amusing here" she then looked at Taz. "You really should hangout with girls of your league. You're the infamous Tanisha Rayyan and you'rewith…"

"The infamous dancing queen who'd won 2 competitions"Taz reminded, "Other than being a trophy wife, aunty – what exactly isyour league?" she questioned.

"Tanisha, darling – I like you but clearly this onehas ruined you" Gayatri snubbed.

"Listen here, Cruella" Sanjana stepped forward,"You're going to get what's coming to you".

Gayatri smirked, "I know I am, my husband is workinghard to give me what's coming" she winked and turned stepping into theelevator. "Aditya loves me very much Sanjana, I don’t want to break myson's heart and suggest that he leaves you" she smiled as the doorsclosed.

"I'm going to kill the fcking b*tch"

"I'll help" Taz agreed.

Loved the way Geet talked with Maan and made him accept to disclose few things about Gayatri to Sanjana and Taz

What's a friendship is seen among the friends and we really want the proper treatment of Gayatri so that she doesn't deceive anyone more...

Anisha as always is very sweet taking care of Meera and Amelia at the same time...

Saas ho to aisi...

Little bit of romance between Maaneet is always welcomed...

Like the way they stole moments of love Dadima being around..
