Thank you friends for putting up with my busy schedule. Trust me; I am trying my best to be as regular as possible...
I appreciate all the likes and comments and here is the next update.
Sree10 - I am quite anxious after hearing about your son. It is good everything is looking positive now. Wish him all the very best and speedy recovery.
Susegad - You are back Nisha...OMG. I have missed you too much so welcome back honey and hopefully this time you will not do your disappearing act...
Cherishh - I am so touched by your comment Bhanu. I am glad you decided to express and never say again that you can't comment well. I loved and will cherish every word you wrote. It is so motivating and actually made me decided to give this update. You and readers like you make it worthwhile to find time and write few words...
I had envisioned Daadi's character and Krishna's story in the very beginning and I am glad you liked it. Same is the case with Meera. I loved Geet for its original story of a strong girl and off course Maan's character and lead characters chemistry. So I have tried to keep the same essence throughout this FF as well. Thank you once again for such kind words.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please add ritzypm as buddy to gets PMs for this FF
Chapter 68 - Rang Jo Lagyo
Geet spent the night tossing and turning in bed as Pammi's words haunted her
"I am so worried about Maan's future. Soon his clients will know about this and if not all, few will question his character. They will wonder if you had physical relationship because of which Maan had to take such a step. They may not want to work with KC and this will have impact on business
Khair, you don't worry. True love is not worried about money right. Business mein upar neeche toh hota rehta hai. Bas Maaji ki tabiyat thik rehni chaiye.
I don't know how she will bear torture of seeing her husband's good name being tarnished in this age."
"Yes Geet. No one knows you...who are you? You are so insignificant that if you went away from Maan's life, people will blame you and not Maan and Daadima. They will empathise with them and Khurana's honour will be saved. Life is a long journey Geet. Sooner or later Maan will move ahead and all these problems will go away. His business for which he has worked day and night and more importantly his Daadima's honour and health...sab kuch ab tumhaare haathon mein hai beta"
"No Geet, I am not asking you to do anything except to think. If you truly love Maan then you will yourself figure out what is best for him. Just do what you think is better for his future. I am sure your love will make you take the right decision."
She sobbed whole night. The day which supposed to be the best day of her life was not the best for HIM. People who didn't dare to raise their eyes were pointing fingers at HIM. The woman who stood with him, his DAADIMA, was being questioned and ridiculed.
What could she do...Babaji what should she do?
Early morning rays hit her room making her aware that she has spent whole night anguishing over various things possible. Future...why is it so difficult to decide what is good for future.
Opening the window she let the early November air chill her senses.
Why do we have to decide, knowing that our future will change for always based on this one step but without even knowing how?
She looked at the rose plant blooming in her balcony. Lot of new buds were just opening up while one rose which had blossom to it's full was withering away. A petal broke loose and floated to the ground.
Should a bud stop blossoming because one day it has to wither? Should we stop living because one day we have to die?
A range of emotions collided as his words mingled with other people's thoughts...
"Maan has some issue... Bhai Khuaran's ki toh yeh reet hai"
"Geet...I love you Mishty...
Thank you so much for making me the happiest person in this world"
"I want a promise form you Geet...tumehin meri kasam...chahe kuch bhi ho jaye...bhale mere liye hi sahi kyon na tum yeh faisla lo...lekin ek baar mujhe meri baat kehne ka mauka toh dogi...aise bina kahe mujhse dur jaane ki koshish naho karogi...promise me Geet...please promise me."
Jis tarha Babaji ka mujh pe pura haq hai usi tarah aapka hai...Ek din aapne mujhse kaha tha...aaj mein kehti hoon...koi bhi rasam...koi bhi rishta mere liye aapse badh ke nahi...i am all yours...completely...chahe toh chu ke dekh lo"
"I love you Maan...I love...I am yours...only yours"

Thami thami...si saansein
Thami thami
jeene lagi hain
tumse jo mill gayi
Jo mill gayi
Thami thami si saasein
Jeene lagi,
jeene lagi..Hain tumse jo mill gayi,
jo mil gayi
Asar yeh kaisa teri chaahat ka hai mujhpe ho gaya
Zarra zarra mere dil ka ab tujh mein hi kho gaya
Meharbaan lavo Rab barsa hai jab se tu hai mill gaya
Tujh ko pa ke aisa laage ke kKhud se hoon mil gaya
Ke rang jo lagyo... re!
Ke rang jo lagyo re
Ke thaaro rang...
Tears slipped down on her pale cheeks. Her eyes were fluffy from the night and they burned...but the burning inside her own heart was turning her into ashes.
Folding her hand she closed her eyes submitting to the only one who could show her a path
"Babaji...Shayad mein jaanti hoon mujhe kya karna hai...bas ek ishara de do Babaji apni bachi ko...bas itna bata do ki yeh sahi hai...woh mere har zare mein hain. I was burning in my own hell and he drenched me like water. My every happiness is with him but his pain will be more painful than death Babaji...please tell me what I think is right or not. I can do anything for his happiness...anything"
Her prayer was broken by her phone's ring. She looked at the caller id and it was Maan. A soft smile automatically came to her lips as she wiped the tears away and took the call
"Good Morning Mishty...mujhe tumse milna hai abhi...I am coming to pick you up..."
His mere voice brought immense peace to her restless heart. He was very close to God for her and just in a moment she knew that all her answers lie within this man...who was her love, her heart, her breath.
His desperate cute angry voice made her giggle slightly. She just so wanted to be there to pull his cheeks with that complaining tone
"Good Morning Ji...thodi patience rakhiye...I am coming home only...woh mujhe Daadima se milna hai. Kal by the end she was looking very tired...uske baad milenge please"
"Hmmm...you know Daadima ka naam logi toh mein kuch nahi keh paoonga...she will be very happy Geet...tum ghar aa jaogi toh unka din ban jayega...we both are waiting for you...jaldi aao...Daadima se milo and then my Mishty..."
Geet entered KM with new courage she had found in Maan's words. On her way to Daadima's room she crossed Pammi's room and decided to meet her and thank her for giving her clarity of thought.
She failed to see Maan who had entered just behind her and was very surprised seeing her knock at Pammi's room.
Pammi smiled seeing Geet at the door and asked her to sit on the couch. She expected to win after her emotional tirade but so soon...well now she can add more ghee to the raging fire and was more than ready for it.
"Aao beta...how are you now. I know even Maan did not realise yesterday how disturbed you were but I hope now you are feeling better."
"Thank you Aunty for helping and supporting me yesterday. Mere Maan mujhe mujhse zayda samajhte hain...but sometimes he shows his concern differently. Instead of talking about it he just chose to distract me...bas"
"Mere kehna ka woh matlab nahi tha Geet...hum Maan pe koi ilzaam nahi laga rahe the..."
"It's ok Aunty...i thought a lot about what you said yesterday night. You were absolutely right. Even Maan had told me what will happen earlier but I don't think I realised the depth of what was coming ahead. I was prepared for this society to say that I am taking advantage of Maan or I don't deserve him. But I was shocked when this was not enough and they actually raised finger at Maan and Daadima.
I am thankful that you asked me to think about us and our future. I am not sure what I would have decided in the heat of the moment but your words actually allowed me to understand what I really want to do. "
Maan's blood boiled hearing Geet's words. He knew she was a little upset with few people's talks but knowing that Pammi gave her wrong direction made him even more angry. But there was a tinge of disappointment too
"Kyon Geet kyon...tum ab bhi mujhe ya mere pyaar ko nahi samjhi"
Mere thought of his Geet going away fuelled his insecurities and he almost barged in to stop Geet from taking any wrong decisions or to leave him
"You know Aunty for me there is nothing more important than Maan's happiness. I don't know if he will always be happy or not if I stay back but I am sure that he will definitely not be happy if I go away. I can't break his trust, his confidence in me. Aaj mere Maan ko...is ghar ko meri zaroorat hai...mere hone se unki har khushi hai aur unki ek pal ki khushi ke liye toh mein apni jaan tak de sakti hoon.
Then how can I myself give him pain...how can I be the reason for his pain. Na aaj, na kal...I will never be the reason for his tears.
Today he and Daadima are ready to fight the world for me then how can I leave him...pehle bhi ek baar unke pyaar ki izzat na kar ke uska anjaam dekh chuki hoon mein...nahi. Agar mere unke paas hone se unhein zara si bhi khushi milti hai toh mein rahungi...mein wahi karungi jo unke liye sahi hai..."
Rang aisa gehra ishq ka
Hai rooh mein ghulne laga
Chhoote naa...
Chhoote naa... iska nishaan
Jahaan ki parwaah kya
Jab dil yeh hadd se aage badh gaya
Saji hai duniya meri
Mujhko tu naya sa kar gaya
Ke rang jo lagyo.. re..
Ke rang jo lagyo re
Ke rang jo lagyo re ke thaaro rang
Maan was stunned by the determination and pure love evident in every word his Jaan was saying. He stopped by the door just soaking in her every word...every thought
"Lekin Geet, kal when the people around will start castrating them then"
"Aapne hi mujhse kaha tha na aunty that money has no place in front of love. Today their happiness lies in me standing with them so I will stand with them. Even if problems come, I will never leave their hand but still fill this home and their heart with laughter. If they will get tensed, I will be the balm to remove that tension.
But in future, if ever, such a point will come when I feel that I am becoming a burden...if my being there with them does not bring happiness but pain to them, I will gladly go away myself.
Dar unko lagta hai jinhein kuch khone ki fikar ho. Mera paas unke siwaye aur hai hi kya. Unke saath bitaya har pal mere liye sona hai. For me even the memories which I have already made are enough to live this life. I live for that one smile on his lips...I will die also for that one smile.
Mere jeena ka maqsad woh hain...unke liye jee rahi hoon
Ang lag ke ki, tut ke...har tarah se bas unki hoon
Woh paas rakehnge to hothon ki muskaan ban chamkungi
Woh dur kar denge to dil mein dhadkan ki tarah chalungi
Pammi was surprised by the turn of events. Here she expected Geet to decide to leave Maan whereas she was deciding to be there with him till Maan wants her to be.
"Geet itna aasan nahi hota..."
"Bas Mrs. Khurana...I think Geet ahs told you what she wants. I think it is time to respect her wishes"
"Maan!!!!"
"Maan Beta...mein toh bas"
Only if looks could kill...Maan gave such a glare to Pammi that she clearly understood that another word could probably close all door to KM for her forever.
Geet was flustered seeing his anger and tried to pacify the situation - "Maan...woh kal mein bas..."
"Mujhe pata hai...Geet...Daadima is waiting for you...chalein"
Geet nodded and walked out with Maan. As soon they were out of Pammi's earshot, Geet held Maan's hand from behind
"Aap mujhse naraaz hain Maan...I am sorry...shayd mujhe appse baat karni chaiye thi but I didn't want to spoil your mood yesterday and mein aaj aapko zaroor batati...sach mein...please mujhse gussa mat hoyiye"
Maan turned and cupped her face lovingly. Geet was surprised a little seeing him so calm and serene
"Bahut pyaar karti ho na mujhse Mishty...this love only gives me confidence that now nothing will every go wrong in my life. Problems to hazzar hongi lekin takleef nahi...
I got angry when I heard that...that woman tried to talk you into leaving me. You are so innocent Geet...but meri yeh baat humesha yaad rakhna - kai baar log zor se jhooth bolte hain aur pyaar se gala kat te hain...I can never trust that woman...never.
"Maan..."
"Shhh Geet...let me finish. But my anger just washed away and I was overwhelmed with words you just said there. Aaj pehli baar, khud tumne humesha mere saath khade hokar is duniya ka saamna karne ki baat ki hai. Sach Mishty...I am happy very happy...aaj meri saari insecurities have been removed kyonki aaj mujhe pata chal gaya hai...Meri Geet meri khushi ko samjhti hai...mujhe samjhti hai...pyaar, izzat toh humesha se karti thi lekin aaj sach mein meri jeevan sangni hai...I am proud of you Geet...Tum mera pyaar hi nahi...mera Maan bhi ho"
Dekhon pighalta aasmaan
Boondon se karta hai bayaan
Pyaar mera, pyaar mera... bepanaah
Jo bhoole se bhi na bhoole
Tu aisa waada bann gaya
Tode se bhi naa toote
Jo dil ka naata bann gaya
Ke rang jo lagyo.. re..
man lagyo hai rang ye
Ke rang jo lagyo re
Ke rang jo lagyo re thaaro rang
Geet smiled and just hugged him tight. Kissing over his heart she snuggled into him...moaning his name
"Maan...Maan...Maan"
