Part – 39
Dadima is happy to see Geet covered with haldi ..
Dadi: chalo haldi bhi shuru ho gayi
The Handas take leave…
Shamko mehendi aur sangeet ceremony hothi hai, at the Handa home…
Geet wants Maan to come, but he will start asking questions….
After the party is over, Geet goes out secretly, takes her bike and goes to see Maan herself…
She has to show the dark color of her mehendi to him right now…
She goes and calls Maan…
Geet: Maan, bahar aana
Maan: iss waqt?
Geet: mein yahan aapka intezar kar rahi hoon, neeche
Maan can’t believe it…
He runs down and is shocked…
Maan: itne raat ko tum akhele kyun aayi?
Geet: mujhe aapse milna tha
Maan: aaj subha hi milli thi, aur kal tak wait nahi kar sakti?
Geet: kya karoon Maan? Mujhse nahi hota ye intezar, ye dekho, kitna gehra rang aaya hai
She is so happy…
Maan looks at her hands… it’s beautiful…. But those intoxicating eyes are even more beautiful….
Maan keeps staring into them…
Geet: aap jaante ho ki mere haath ki mehendi ka rang itna gehra kaise aaya?
Maan is just need mesmerized… he just keeps admiring her…
Maan: hmm
Geet: kyun ke aap ka pyaar itna gehra hai, haina?
Maan: hmmm
Geet: aap mere baat ko sun rahe haina Maan?
Maan kahan sun raha hai….
Geet: aaj mein bahut kush hoon Maan
Maan: hmmm
Geet: Maaaaaan
Maan comes back to his senses..
Maan: tumme patha hai ki tumne kya kiya?
Geet: haan, mein apne Maan se milne aayi hoon
Maan: tummare ghar wale tumme dhoondhte honge
Geet: mein rajji ko bathake aayi hoon, woh Geet banke kuch dher sambal legi
Maan: chalo, mein tumme ghar chodke aatha hoon
Maan asks her to leave her bike and he takes her on his jeep…
Geet stands and enjoys the ride.. Maan would like to take her on a road trip just like this… but this is not the right time…
Maan drops her at her house… he is surprised to see it decorated like a wedding house…
Maan thinks that like Dadima said these people are very serious about the engagement…
Next morning at the Khurana house…
The horse is ready for the baraat…
Maan is confused… dadi already informed him that they are here for a lot more surprises… villages have been preserving the traditions strictly while the urban people have even reduced shadi into just a name sake ceremony…
Maan is doing this for Geet and he is ready to do anything to keep her happy… moreover he has already messed up with the early engagement function… this time it will become a disrespect for the Handa family and people will lose trust in their words for that… he can’t repeat that again… and it’s also about Geet’s honor…
How can he forget Geet coming in the darkness all alone on her bike the previous night just to meet him?
This girl is madly in love with him, her eyes keep telling about her craze… he has to respect her love…
At the mandap…
Geet is already waiting for her Dulha..
Dadi has asked to keep it simple and quick before Maan gets any clue…
Maan comes and he is received by Brij and his cousins…
Geet peeps out of her room to see Maan…
Maan is also searching her…
Geet can’t wait, she comes down to welcome Maan herself….
Maan is escorted by the bacha party to his room…
As Maan waits there impatiently to meet Geet, Geet enters…
Maan is not surprised… he knows his Mishty is not the ordinary, but she is unique and special….
Geet: aap mujhe expect kar rahe the?
Geet is disappointed that Maan is not at all surprised by her visit….
Maan: bahar hi expect kar raha tha, par ye bhi better hai
Maan gets closer and closer…
Geet is nervous….
Maan raises her pallu and takes a look at her beautiful face….
Geet feels shy for the first time….
Her cheeks turn as she blushes….
Maan: Geet, ek baat bathaoon?
Maan is still admiring her….
Geet can’t make eye contact… she is still mesmerized…
Geet: hmm
Maan: tummare chehre ka rang toh tummare mehendhi se bhi gehra hai
Geet is surprised that Maan would turn a romantic too…
Geet: hmm
Maan: you know why?
Geet: nahi, aap hi bathao
Maan: kyunki tummara pyaar Mera pyaar se bhi gehra hai
Geet: aaisa kuch nahi hotha, ye hummara pyaar hai
Maan: par tumne kal mujhe bathaya ki mera pyaar gehra hai
Geet: woh
Maan lifts her chin and makes eye contact…
Geet doesn’t know what to expect…. She keeps looking into his eyes…
Suddenly a girl comes in opening the door….
A boy comes following her…
They keep staring Maneet…
The boy is looking at Maan without a blink …
Maan: what?
Boy: uncle app didi ke saath kya khel rahe ho?
Maan: ye badin ka khek hai, tum nahi samjhoge
Boy: hmm
The boy giggles ….
Maan: now what?
Boy: uncle ye aapki girl friend hai?
Geet: haan
Geet is proud to say that…
The boy then approves their game….
Boy: Ruhi, come let’s go and play this new game
Geet starts laughing….
Maan catches hold of the boy and asks the girl to leave ..
The girl runs away….
Maan: you can’t do this
Boy: that’s my girlfriend,Iif you could play with your girlfriend then I could play with mine
Maan is shocked by the reply…
Geet couldn’t stop laughing…
Maan: what’s so funny?
Geet: aap ne usko kaisa khel sikhaya? Aap bahut bhure ho Maan
Maan: kya?
Maan catches her and pulls her closer….
Geet freezes….
Then they hear footsteps and Maan let’s her go…
Geet gets out of the room only to hear two oldies speaking….
Oldie1: suna tumne?
Oldie2: kya?
Oldie1: uska ek bacha bhi hai
Oldie2: kiska?
Oldie1: hare, tumne suna nahi ki jamaairaja ki dusri shadi hai ye
Oldie2: ohhhh mujhe toh bache ke barein mein patha nahi tha, toh uska bacha bhi hai
Oldie3 enters….
Oldie3: kiska bacha?
Geet interferes….
Geet: hmm, mera bacha, app ne suna hoga mere barein mein
The three look at Geet shocked…
Geet: yahi mera boyfriend hai, aur ek aur raaz suno
They look at each other…
Geet: woh bacha nahi, bachi, woh bachi meri hai, shadi ke pehle hi mein maa bangayi, Issiliye itne jaldhi jaldhi meri shadi ho rahi hai
The oldies run hearing that…
Maan just over hears the conversation….. .
He is overwhelmed with gratitude that he has met Geet and made the right decision to help her, warna aaj Geet Maan ki nahi hothi…
Maan ko lagtha hai ki Geet toh Maan ke liye hi bani hai…
Geet goes to her room… Raji comes and takes her to the mandap…
Maan is waiting for Geet….
He just keeps looking at her all the time with gratitude….
He couldn’t hide his emotions…
Panditji asks Maan to come forward, but Maan is lost in his Mishty…
Geet: Maan
Maan comes to his senses…
Geet: Maan, Panditji
Maan looks at the Panditji…
The panditji first asks them to start the ring ceremony…
Maan’s doubts are cleared… there is nothing to worry…
After they wear the rings, the panditji asks them to start the pehras immediately…
Maan is bewildered… Geet takes his hands and urges him to do it… .
Geet pleads with her eyes and Maan looks at everyone waiting for the pehra to start..
Maan completes the pehras and knows that he has been fooled… .
But he is not going to make a scene and embarrass Geet and her family…
Anyway he is not against this marriage, he just wanted to do it at a better time, but he doesn’t understand that the better times would come only after this marriage…
Maan wears the mangalsutra around her neck and completes the rituals by putting sindhoor on her forehead… now they are married according to the customs… they are husband and wife now…
But Maan is very angry with Geet… he can’t believe that Geet too doesn’t have faith in him just like others… that only hurts him a little…
Geet knows from looking at his eyes that he is not too happy with the happenings..
But Geet had no other option… this was the only way to enter his life and start sharing her responsibilities as a wife, as a mother to be more specific….
Maan patiently waits for all the rituals to end….
He doesn’t care about anything for the wedding is over, now the other things don’t matter….
Dadima has succeeded in her mission…. No one knows what this would mean for Maan…
Maan was trying his best to solve his existing problem and Dadima has added to his problems, made the existing one more complicated by doing him this favor??
But Maan is disappointed with Geet, he has firmly told her that he needs more time before he can marry her and she acted as if she understood him… but she is also selfish… she only thinks about her feelings…. No one cares to understand that Maan is not avoiding the wedding but there are certain things that he has to overcome before he could start over again…
Geet knows that Maan is a bit upset, but she thinks that he’ll understand her later…
Dulha is staying at the Dulhan’s place for the wedding night…
Dadi asked them to carry on with the other rituals too at the Handa home itself…
She wants her bahu to feel comfortable… or else she knows her potha would easily escape…
After all that hard work dadi wouldn’t want an anticlimax to her whole plan…
She wants them to be man and wife, in the true sense, and not just for the sake of it…
