Milestone SS on Maan's Memory Loss Track Epilogue/Pg 85 Dt 18/03/'15 - Page 16

[Maan's POV]

Geet had dozed off sobbing, resting her head on my shoulder. I realized she was shivering and all I could manage in this closed room was to cover her with my shirt and increase the temperature of the room. Lending her the support and warmth of my arms, I ventured into the unknown lanes of my past trying to fix the bits and pieces of our life!

I don't how long we sat there embracing each other!

Suddenly my phone vibrated breaking my reverie. I moved a little to remove it from my pocket waking up Geet in the process. It was Aadi's message informing me about the key to the door. I turned to Geet who looked around groggily, I calmly whispered in her ears not wanting to scare her.

"Geet hum ab tak conference room mein hi hain." As my words sinked in she got up with a start.

"MAAN...kitni der ho gayi hain...aap ne mujhe jagaya kyun nahi...Dadimaa pareshan ho rahe honge...jaldi chaliye...lekin door to jammed hain?" She started ranting.

"Relax Geet...keys uss drawer mein hain aur Dadimaa ko Aadi ne already inform kar diya hain." I assured her.

While driving back home Geet was very fidgety, like she wanted to voice out something but was holding back.

"Geet kuch kehna chahti ho?"

"Aap ko kaise pata?" She immediately spoke out clearly surprised that I had read her mind.

"Bas...dheere dheere tumhe jaan ne ki koshish kar raha hoon." I owned up.

"Woh...Maan...actually...woh...hum..." She fumbled with her words making me guilty of the distance and insecurity between us.

"Kya baat hain Geet?" I genuinely asked turning to her as our car halted at a signal.

"Woh hum sab soch rahe the ke aap ki birthday hain toh...kya hum...celebrate.." She voiced out reluctantly, not once meeting my eyes and knotting the edges of her dupatta in nervousness anticipating my refusal.

"Theek hain!" I agreed and instantly she looked up trying to gauge my expression still not believing that I had agreed to her request.

"Aap sach keh rahe hain na?"

"Haan Geet...hum party kar sakte hain." I confirmed and on a reflex she just hugged me for a moment but immediately moved back to farthest corner realizing what she had just done. Her face flushed while I kept gaping at her, unable to react to her sudden act!

The honking of the cars brought me out of my dazed state and immediately getting a grip on myself I concentrated on my driving. Contemplating over her request reminded me of my incomplete task and I informed her.

"Geet...woh actually mujhe kal Amritsar jaana hoga" My statement wiped off all the joy from her face. She was about to say something but I signaled her to let me continue.

"Sirf toda sa kaam hain, main shaam tak wapas aa jaaunga. Tum toh waise bhi kal party ke preparations mein busy hongi, main Lucky ko apne saath le jaaunga." She smiled agreeing to my decision.

"Maan ek request hain...wok Lucky Veerji mein thoda bachpana hain...toh aap..." Knowing my current temperament she reluctantly urged me.

"Fikar mat karo Geet...main Lucky pe nahi chillaunga." I promised her.

It was quite late by the time we reached home thankfully we had grabbed a quick dinner at a nearby fast food joint. Nakul informed us everybody except Lucky and Mamaji had retired for the day. Geet moved to her room while I went to look out for Lucky to inform him about our trip.

KHURANA MANSION

[Geet's POV]

(Next day)

"Party ka time ho gaya hain ab tak Maan nahi aaye, aur Dev ko bhi ab tak Nandini nahi mili hain... Bas Dev jaldi se Mamaji ke bataye address par pohuch jaaya..."

"NT toh saaye ki tarah mere aage peeche ghoom rahi hain, ek bhi mauka nahi mil raha mujhe ke main Maan ya Dev ko phone kar saku. Itni mushkil se toh Maan ab mujh pe vishwaas karne lage hain agar maine unse dhoke se papers sign karwaaye toh woh mujh pe phir kabhi vishwaas nahi karenge."

"Babaji aap hi koi raasta nikalye jise Nandini bhi safely ghar wapas aa jaaye aur Maan bhi mujhe galat na samjhe."

"Geet bhabhi chotesaab aa gaye" Nakul informed me of Maan's arrival.

Now I don't have any option but to go ahead with what I have decided!

😳

PS : This is a brief gist of some parts of the episode weaved into my update:

• While Maaneet were locked up in the office last night NT took this opportunity and kidnapped Nandini.

• Maan left for Amritsar with Lucky leaving a clear ground for NT to blackmail Geet

• Same as the episode Mamaji foils NT's attempt by disclosing the address to Geet who inturn informs Dev and they manage to rescue Nandini

• Geet hands over the property papers to NT and she in her excitement blurts out all her evil intentions and plans.

• Dev reaches home with Nandini and Geet and Dev disclose the entire sequence to all but NT in her overconfidence continues to taunt and mock Geet.

"Wah Geet wah! Kya kaam kiya hain...seriously daad deni padegi aap ko (to applaud you)... Par Geet aap ke bewakoof dimaag mein ek baat nahi aayi ke jab papers sign ho gaye hain, sab kuch hamaare naam ho gaya hain toh ab aap kuch bhi kijiye hume koi farak nahi padega." NT rubbed in some more trying to irk me.

"Toh tumhe poora yakeen hain ke saari property ab tumhara ho gayi hain?" Dev countered NT.

"Ofcourse isme shaq ki koi baat hi nahi hain! Maan Veerji ne khud iss par sign kiya hain toh sab kuch hamaara hi hua na."

"Sab kuch nahi!!!... Sirf utna jitne ke maalik Bro hain."

"Bakwaas bandh karo Dev! Yeh haveli, yeh property sab kuch Maan Veerji ke naam par hain."

"Tch tch tch... Nahi NT... Kyunki Bro ne kuch mahino pehle hi Geet ko apna 51% ka partner bana diya hain!" Dev enlightened her.

"KYA..." She blurted out in shock.

"Haan!... Issliye agar tumhe poori property apne naam karwani thi toh papers par sirf Bro ke nahi balki Geet ke bhi sign chahiye the!"

"Aur aaj ki date mein Geet Maan Singh Khurana ke sign ke bina... poora Khurana Empire toh kya iss empire ke ek phooti kaudi (one ounce) bhi tumhari nahi hui hain!" Dev declared proudly.

"I'm sorry Maan! Maine jhoot bol kar aap ko papers pe sign karwaya lekin mere paas aur koi raasta nahi tha...Nandini ki jaan khatre mein thi aur aap bhi yahan nahi the..." I earnestly confessed but Maan had masked his expressions not giving out any hint of what was running in his mind.

Overcoming the shock NT scornfully announced.

"Bahot mehenga padega aap logon ko yeh dhoka! Aaj hum haar gaye toh kya hum phir laut ke aayenge, kyunki hum aap ki biwi jo hai Dev aur iss Khurana khandaan ki bahu toh hamaara aap ki zindagi aur iss ghar par poora adhikaar hain."

Loosing all my patience I dared NT.

"NT yeh toh tum ab nahi keh sakti! Yaad hain Mamaji ne tumse koi letters sign karwaye the...woh mediawale letters nahi balki tumhaare aur Dev ke divorce papers the. Toh ab tumhaara na Dev aur na hi iss Khurana parivaar ke saath koi rishta hain."

"Bina padhe kabhi bhi koi papers sign nahi karne chahiye NT yeh sabak (lesson) kabhi tumne hi mujhe sikhaya tha...yaad hain na." I hinted her reminding how they had cheated me and transferred my property in their names in HP.

"Kya socha tha tumne ke tum yahan aaogi aur mere parivaar ki khushiyon ko cheen ke chali jaaogi aur main chup chap dekhti rahungi. Bahot badi galatfehmi mein jee rahi ho tum NT..."

"Main agar chahti na toh, ussi waqt tumhe Khurana Mansion se dhakke maar kar bahar nikalti jab tumne hamaare iss ghar mein pehla kadam rakha tha lekin main chup thi toh sirf Maan ki wajah se kyunki Geet kabhi bhi apne Maan ke khilaaf nahi jaa sakti!"

"Tumhaari rag rag se wakeef hoon main NT aur issliye tumhaare har ek kadam par hum sab ki nazar thi...Tumne Maan ki yaadaasht ka faayada uthaakar bahot takleef pohuchaayi hum sab ko."

"Meri khamoshi ko tumne meri kamzori samajh liya par tum bhool gayi ke ...Main woh purani bholi bhaali Geet nahi hoon jo kisi pe bhi vishwaas kar legi...main MAAN KI GEET hoon!"

"WOH MAAN KI GEET!...Jise zindagi ladna Maan ne sikhaya...Insaano ki asli pehchaan karna Maan ne sikhaya...Eit ka jawaab patthar se dena Maan ne sikhaya!"

"Yeh mera ghar hain...Mera parivaar hain...Aur iss parivaar ka dushman yaani mera dushman!...Aur apne dushman ko mooh tod jawaab dena GEET MAAN SINGH KHURANA acchi tarah se jaanti hain!" I declared proudly.

[Maan's POV]

Until now I had been a mute spectator taking in all the facts coming my way! NT's true face surfaced out and I felt like a fool to have fallen for her crocodile tears, I had given her chance just for Dev's sake but what stunned me was Geet's confidence and her claim over Me and My Family!

There was a distinct glow and power oozing out of her when she declared her as Mrs Geet Maan Singh Khurana...MAAN KI GEET...MY GEET!

I just kept gaping at her in disbelief! All my recent acts flashed before my eyes making me feel so low and ashamed of myself to have misunderstood, doubted and humiliated Geet publicly. NT's nasty statements brought me out of my thoughts.

"Geet Maan Singh Khurana...ha ha ha..." NT laughed mockingly.

"Badi hi besharam aurat hain aap Geet! Jinhe aap chilla kar chilla kar apna pati keh rahi hain pehle unse toh poochiye ke woh aap ko apni patni maante hain bhi ke nahi...Zurrat (audacity) toh dekhiye, apne aap ko Geet Maan Singh Khurana kehti hain...Jiska pati hi aap ko apni patni nahi maanta toh aap kis haq se iss ghar ki bahu hui?"

"Maan Veerji ke itne beizzat karne ke bawajood aap aaj bhi yahan padi hain...aap ke jagah koi bhale ghar ki ladki hoti toh kab ki chullu bhar paani mein doob marti (to drown in shame)!" NT spat out her venom.

Geet's eyes brimming with tears...She was paying for my faults...I was the reason of all her woes and humiliation...My past behavior with Geet had given NT the opportunity to insult Geet...But not anymore!

"NAINTARA..." I yelled.

"Bhale ghar ki ladkiyaan kaisi hoti hain yeh tum na hi batao toh accha hoga! Galti toh meri hain ke tumhe acchi tarah se jaan ne ke bawajood (inspite of) main tumhe yahan le aaya sirf Dev ke liye...yeh soch kar ke tum sudhar gayi hogi lekin...Aur joh sawaal tumne poocha hain toh uska jawaab main khud tumhe doonga!"

"Geet iss ghar ki bahu hain!...Meri patni hain!...Aur iska poora naam Mrs Geet Maan Singh Khurana hain...MAAN KI GEET HAIN!!!!" I proclaimed proudly to the whole world.

"Main chup chap khada hokar tumhaara tamasha dekh raha tha kyunki main dekhna chahta tha ke tum kis hadd tak gir sakti ho...shaq toh mujhe tum par bahot pehle hi ho gaya tha aur Maan Singh Khurana kabhi kuch bhi nazarandaz (ignore) nahi karta aur na hi kacche kaam (leave loose holes) karta hain!" I stated.

"Shayad tum bhool gayi ho NT ke maine tumhe pehle bhi warn kiya tha ke apni harkaton se baaz (change your ways) aa jao...Main apne parivaar, apne bhai aur Geet ke upar tumhaari galat iraadon (evil intentions) ki parchaai (shadow) bhi nahi dekhna chahta...Agar tumhaari wajah se Geet ki aankhon mein ek bhi aansoon aaya toh Maan Singh Khurana khud ek ek aansoon ka badla sud-samet (with interest) wapas lega!!!!" I reminded her.

{Reference - Episode 112}

Her face lost all colour! I could see she was trembling now.

"Maan..Veerji...aap ko kaise yaad hain ke..." She fumbled.

But her statement surprised me too! When did I warn her and did it have anything to do with Geet then?

I had always disapproved of NT for Dev bcos I felt she would ruin his life and our family and I was so right! This woman was the sole reason for all the miseries in our family. And today I will make sure she pays for all her deeds! I masked my face not disclosing my inner turmoil.

"NT mujhe kya yaad aaya hain aur kya nahi yeh jaan ne ki... na tumhe koi zarurat hain na tumhaari aukat hain! Lekin Maan Singh Khurana apna kiya vaada kabhi nahi bhoolta NT... Police aa chuki hain tumhe lene...aur ab tumhaari baaki ki zindagi jail mein beetana." I stated her future.

"Aap zyaada waqt tak mujhe jail mein nahi rakh paayenge Maan Veerji...hum jald hi wapas aayenge aur..." She tried to challenge me but I cut off her statement and revealed.

"Iss baar maine tumhara poora intezaam (arrangement) kar diya hain NT aur yakeen mano ab tumhe koi nahi bacha paayega. Tumhaare kiye gaye har gunaah ka saboot hain mere paas. Peechli baar tumhaare accident ne tumhe Geet par kiye gaye attempt to murder ke case se bacha liya tha lekin iss baar tumhe aisa koi mauka main nahi doonga...samjhi tum."

"Get out from our house and lives!" I said in finality as the police dragged her out of our house.

Finally the evil shadow looming over our family was warded off! The party ended on a happy note for us and all the guests left. I could clearly see everybody's confused faces as my statements had left them stunned and surprised!

"Maan bete kya aap ko sab kuch yaad aa gaya hain?" Dadimaa asked hopefully.

Ending the suspense I replied.

"Nahi Dadimaa...mujhe kuch yaad nahi aaya hain lekin mujhe saara sach pata chal gaya hain, jo kuch bhi peechle dedh saal mein hua hain woh sab jaan gaya hoon main."

"Main aaj Amritsar nahi balke Hoshiarpur gaya tha sach ka pata lagane kyunki main jaanta tha ke aap log mujhe kabhi sach nahi batayenge aur mere liye apne sawaalon ke jawaab dhoondhna bahot zaroori tha." I notified them.

"Maan..." Dadimaa tried to calm me but I stopped her raising my hand signalling her I'm not done yet!

"Kya laga aap ko main kabhi sach nahi jaan paunga...kya main aap ko itna kamzor lagta hoon ke sach jaan kar main khud ko sambhaal nahi paata ya phir aap log mujhse yeh sach chupana chahte the? "

"Aisa nahi hain Maan..." Dadimaa tried again but

"Toh kaisa hain Dadimaa?...Bataye na..." I questioned her but she was speechless.

"Chaliye main hi aap ko batata hoon Dadimaa... mujhe kaisa laga jab mujhe pata chala ke mera apna parivaar paison ke liye itna gir gaya ke ek masoom ladki ko loot (cheat) kar usse maut ki kagaar par pohucha diya!"

"Mujhe kaisa laga jab mujhe pata chala ke mera apna chota bhai jise maine, haath pakad kar chalna sikhaya woh pata nahi kab gunaah ke andhere raaston pe chal ne lag gaya ke itna bada crime karte waqt usse bilkul darr nahi laga."

"Main kehta raha aap logon se NT sahi ladki nahi hain, woh Dev ko, hamaare iss ghar- parivaar ko barbaad kar degi lekin aap logon ne meri ek nahi suni...Aur dekh liya natija (outcome)!"

"Aaj mera apna chota bhai ek criminal ban gaya hain, jail jaa chuka hain aur jhooth ke sahaara leke jail se bahar aa gaya!" I added with disgust.

"Pata hain Dadimaa... mujhe kaisa laga jab yeh sach mere saamne aaya...Aisa laga jaise kisine meri saansein nikal di ho... Geet ke Papaji ka har ek shabd sun kar aisa laga jaise koi baar baar mere seene (chest) mein khanjar (dagger) utaar raha hain lekin dard itna zyaada tha ke awaaz hi nikal rahi thi! ... Kaise nazren milata main uss pita se, kya kehta main unse ke mere apno ne hi Geet ki zindagi taar taar kar di!"

Jo Maan Singh Khurana aaj tak apni nazren utha kar chala hain lekin aaj sirf mere apno ki wajah se main apni hi nazron mein gir gaya hoon Dadimaa! " I voiced out miserably.

"Bolo Dev kyun kiya yeh sab...NT ke pyaar mein tum itne andhe ho gaye the itne saalon ki parvarish, hamaare sanskaar sab kuch bhool gaye...hamaari izzat...hamaari zindagi sab kuch daav par laga diya tumne! Arre isse toh accha hota ke tum meri jaan le lete phir sab kuch tumhara ho jaata Dev aur mujhe bilkul takleef nahi hoti!"

"Maine tumhe issliye ghar se nikala taake tumhe apni galti ka ehsaas ho, tumhaare aas paas jo galat log the unke asli chehre tumhaare saamne aaye aur tum phir se sahi raaste par chal kar ghar laut sako lekin..."

"Lekin tum galti pe galti karte gaye aur itne aage nikal gaye ke galti aur gunaah ke beech ka farak hi mita diya!!!! Kyun Dev kyun kiya aisa bolo..." I grabbed his collar confronting him.

"Bro...main...woh... I'm so sorry! "He tried to voice out but I couldn't hold myself and slapped him hard.

"Tumhaari sorry se kya sach badal jaayega...Kya Geet ke saare zakhm mit jaayenge...kya jo kuch bhi Geet ne saha woh sab theek ho jaayega..."

"Pata hain Dev agar tum sirf Geet ke paise aur property chori karte na toh ek pal ke liye shayad...shayad main tumhe maaf bhi kar deta lekin tumne toh Geet ki izzat ke saath bhi...Chi...!

"Tum jaante ho na tumne jo Geet ke saath kiya hain usse kya kehte hain..."

"Bro please..." He pleaded ashamed of his doings.

"Kyun suna nahi jaa raha tumse kabhi socha tumhaare iss ek kadam ki keemat kitne logon ne chukaayi hain! Dev baaki sab ne bhale tumhe maaf kar diya ho lekin main nahi kar sakta!!!!!"

"Galti ki maafi mil sakti hain gunaah ki nahi...Aur tumne jo kiya hain woh gunaah hain aur gunaah ki sirf sazaa milti hain...sirf sazaa!"

"Main jaanta hoon ke NT ne jhoote saboot aur witnesses ki madad se Geet ka case dismiss kar diya tha issliye tumhaare hisse ki sazaa tum khud chuno Dev! Iss janam mein toh main tumhe maaf nahi kar paunga." I announced in finality and headed towards my room.

[Geet's POV]

Maan's sudden outburst had left us all shell shocked!

Dev collapsed on the floor crying not being able to bear the hatred in Maan's eyes. Fate had again put me in the same situation where I was few months back all my past wounds surfaced out...all those haunting memories flashing back and again a storm had hit my household and my relation which had lately started blooming was again uprooted in this whirlwind of pain and deceit.

Not once had Maan looked my way while disclosing the truth.

Was he angry that I had forgiven Dev...Had the truth deepened the distance between us...Will the misunderstanding create barriers between us...Will destiny again separate us?

So many questions were thrown infront of me but answers...non!

I looked towards Lucky Veerji in hope that he might be able to throw some light on what had transpired in HP.

Lucky Veerji narrated to us how Maan had asked him to accompany him and then divulged his plan to visit HP instead of Amritsar. Lucky Veerji had arranged Maan and Papaji's meeting in one of the dhaba on the outskirts of HP. On Maan's insistence Papaji had disclosed all the events of our past. After Papaji left Maan then extracted all the information from Lucky Veerji as to how and why had I forgiven Dev?

Lucky Veerji then narrated to him about the events post Dev's arrival back in our lives, our misunderstanding, Maan's attempt to bring me back home from Amritsar, Choti Maa's plan and lastly his memory loss!

Veerji also notified that though Maan held up a brave front but was totally shattered knowing the entire truth and had requested Lucky Veerji to wait at the dhaba for him as he drove away somewhere to be alone for sometime.

On their way back Maan along with Veerji and Aadi had met up with the Police Commissioner, who had further updated him with the past cases and measures that Maan had undertaken to safeguard me. With all the pieces of the puzzle falling in their place and Dev already alerting the police about NT's intentions, they were all ready for action.

Maan completed all the required formalites while Aadi handed over all the proofs that Maan had collected against NT paving a path for her arrest and this time not giving her any room to escape. Luckily we also had a CC TV footage of the terrace incident which clearly proved that NT had indeed tried to kill me though her slipping into comma post that accident had saved her but this time Maan had ensured she will be behind bars for rest of her life!

With slow steps I headed towards Maan's room raising my hand to knock on his door. His silence was killing me and I needed my answers!

Destiny was testing me yet again and no one knew what lied across this door... a dawn of a new beginning or the dark deep pits of our past!

Part B coming up soon!
