Part - 19
After Geet joined college she is busy with her work and she had to work harder to match the city girls...
Maan is relieved that KM has returned to it's peaceful silence...
Geet has no time to fight with Maan, she rarely comes face to face with him and then too Maan avoids making eye contacts...Geet also stops interfering...
From then onwards Maan stops interacting with Geet and ignores her completely...
Many times he gets into his shell like this...
More often after Vicky's death...
Maan has become immune to love and care after Vicky left him...
Maan has decided that he would never let anyone enter his life thereafter for the fear that they will also leave him alone in the end...
Actually Maan yearns for love as much as he fears it...
Geet is the only person who has succeeded in entering his rock strong heart with her innocence and courage...
But Maan is not ready to take risk again...
So he started avoiding Geet and keeps away from her...
Though Maan tries hard to igore Geet, she has made her presence felt everywhere she goes...
She has brought KM alive after so many years with her non stop bak bak and naughty pranks on the poor servants...she keeps doing this to make dadi happy and forget her worries about Maan being so unhappy and alone...
Dadi feels much younger nowadays...
Maan is surprised to see Dadi watching movies with Geet...
Jab se Geet aayi hai, issne toh ghar ko hi ek mini theatre banakke rakha hai...
Aajkal Dadima bhi usske saath TV dekhthe hi dinner karthe, what the heck?
How could Dadi forget the discipline that she taught Maan?
Even Dadi realizes that she had missed the little joys of life in these few years and also failed to help Maan come out of his shell thru these little joys that she could have shared with him...
How could Dadi expect Maan to move on and return to normal life when Dadi herself is struck in the past ?
Geet's arrival has changed Dadi and she is sure that Maan too will change...
Haan MSK ko badal na hi padega, apne Geet ke liye toh sahi...
Maan can't walk around with his eyes closed always, he had to come across Geet everyday...it's tough but Maan tries his best to ignore her but fails terribly...
Maan observes everything from a distance for the fear of being invaded by Geet's vibrant evergy...
Where does she get all the courage and strength to overcome her equally unfortunate fate...
Maybe Dadi has given her hope...or is it her nature to resist all odds and stand tall at trying times...
Maan should learn a lot from her, look at Geet, spreading happiness around while Maan had always added to Dadi's worries instead of making her happy...
Maan had to accept one thing, Dadi is happy after Geet came to KM...
Maan has never seen Dadi so relieved and happy since his bro's sad demise...
Maan had to tolerate Geet at least for Dadi's sake...
But he is determined not to let her presence affect him in anyway...afterall he is the MSK, haina?
He keeps his doors shut and stays away from her, he turns away even when he comes across Geet accidentally, but his attitude irritates Geet more...
Geet ko Maan ka yun muh modke jaana pasand hi nahi hai...
Geet too knows that this marriage isn't valid and that she has no rghts whatsoever in this house...
she doesn't expect Maan to treat her as the better half...and she has no expectations of that kind...
still his silence troubles her and his neglect hurts her a lot...
Maan Geet se jitna dhoor jaatha Geet Maan ko utna hi miss karthi...
At times when they had to face each other and when their eyes meet without their knowledge, Geet tries to read Maan's mind thru his eyes...but after all her efforts to know him better she ends up even more confused...
Maan always looks at her with anger, but Geet had not missed to see thru his anger...
She feels that he is trying to hide something behind that feary looks...maybe he is trying to hide his grief, his loneliness, his fears and his worries...
Maan shayad apne dukh ko chupane ki koshish kar raha hai...lekhin Maan babu dukh toh patne se hi kam hothi hai...aaise apne andar hi andar rakhkke jeloge toh dukh badthe jayega...
Taji's surprise visit...
Teji comes to Delhi to see Geet...
He went to Munshiji's home and Munshiji takes him to KM saying that Geet lives with Maan and not with them...
Teji gets very angry as he thinks that Maan has cheated him...
Munshiji leaves after introducing Teji to dadi...
Dadi welcomes Teji with love he's Geet's brother, haina?
And Geet had told Dadi that Teji is the one who wanted Geet to pursue her studies in Delhi...
Dadi has been waiting to see Teji as she thinsk that Teji is her savior in her Maneet milan mission...
Teji respects Dadi and he waits for Maan...
He controls his anger after the warm welcome he received from Dadi...
Teji: Dadi Geet yahan rehthi hai?
Teji still couldn't believe it...
Dadi: haan, aap aayiye, pehle hummare saath nastha kijiye, Geet bhi aathi hi hogi
Teji hesitates...he just wants to see his little sister...
And how is she coping with all this nonsense?
Teji knows though Geet is very innocent she is not timid, she is rebellious and she doesn't bow to unfair pressures...
She will never accept to come here unless Teji insisted...
But why didn't she protest...Teji knows Geet wouldn't stay at a place even for a day if she doesn't like it...
She never stays even at Hoshiarpur with her father...
She always returns home with Rajjo...
Teji waits for Geet...he has to meet her and know the truth...
As he keeps looking for Geet Maan comes down the stairs...
He is happy to see Teji and there is no sign of any fear or guilt in his face...
Teji wonders how he is so cool facing Teji after cheating him like this?
Maan smiles at Teji...
Teji keeps looking behing Maan for he expects Geet to follow him...pathni toh pati ko follow karthe haina?
But he is worried not to find Geet...
His face turns red with anger...issne mere behen ko kya kardiya?
Dadi knows Teji's anticipations...
Dadi: puthar aap kathe kyun nahi?
Maan also knows that Teji is waiting for Geet...
Maan: Dadi, aapne Geet ko nahi bhulaya?
Teji is surprised...if Geet didn't get the information then how did Maan come? They must have been together only?
Dadi: humne chandu ko bheja hai, Geet aathe hi honge
Maan: Dadi mujhe ek urgent meeting hai, mein chaltha hoon, Taji, let's meet later
Teji wanted to stop Maan and pull his shirt for acting smart...
But then Geet comes running...
Teji wnders where is she coming from...from the backyard...
Maybe she was in the garden...
Maan is least bothered and he just leaves...
Geet comes and hugs Teji...
Geet: Veerji aap kab aaye? Maa papaji nanadini lucky veerji mamaji sab kaise hai?
Geet starts talking non stop...
Dadi: hare Geet bete, pehle aap apne veerji ko khane dijiye, phir donno baat kar sakthe
Geet joins Teji and Teji is relieved to see Geet so happy...
She is feeling at home, just as she used to be in Amristar...
Teji thinks he can ask Geet later about his doubts...
Dadi leaves them alone...
Geet takes Teji to the OH...
Geet: veerji ye mera kamra hai
Teji finds Geet staying alone in that room and not with Maan at KM...
Teji: tumme yahan akhele rehne se darn ahi lagthi Geet?
He didn't want to ask her why she didn't go to Munshiji's home...
He doesn't feel any difference...as far as his little sister is happy and secure what does an elder brother want?
Geet: mein akhele kahan hoon? Dadi haina mere saath, aur aap ne dekha nahi? yahan kitne sare log kaam karthe
She didn't count Maan as a member of this house...
For her he is invisible...how can she include MSK as a part of the family as he lives far far away in his own world...
Teji is happy that she didn't take Maan's name...that's a protective brother...
Geet takes him to the guest room next to her room...
Geet: aap yahan reh sakthe
Teji is convinced that his sister is happy and is being taken care of very well by dadima, she didn't even bother to ask dadi's permission to let Teji stay at the OH...
She took her rights straightaway...even if she was khurana Bahu she wouldn't have enjoyed so much rights and freedom...
Finally Geet is lucky to get this opportunity...
Her future is secured with her degree and Teji is sure that now no one can dare to mess with her life again...not even Mohinder...
Teji says he just came to see Geet and he is happy that Geet has settled down without any trouble...
He leaves before Maan comes back as he there was no need for any explanations from Maan...
Dadi is also relieved that Teji didn't make it an issue and saved dadi from another act...
And even dadi was not ready with the script as Teji just entered without prior notice...
Luckily for Dadi Teji is convinced b'coz Geet didn't stay with them in the same place...
Maan had well planned ahead to keep Geet in the OH...
For the first time dadi felt there is some advantage with Geet's OH stay...
Life moves as usual with Maan and Geet busy in their own works and not showing any interest in each other...only Dadi is worried and she keeps thinking about her next move...
No matter how hard she tries to bring their attention on each other by talking about the other they seem to just behave as if they have not listened to anything...
Part - 20
One Sunday...since it's a holiday Geet is at home... ...
Maan as usual went out to escape from Geet...
Geet is watching TV and getting bored...
She finds Nakul and others cleaning the house...
She goes and starts ordering them...Dadi has given her full rights and the servants give her equal respect...they know how much Dadi loves her...
Geet keeps an eye on them and finds that all of them ignore the show-case that displays the trophies and awards...
She asks them to clean that too as it's something to be cherished and kept clean...
But they refuse to touch that as they are not supposed to go near that...
No one had ever touched it, Geet scolds them that it's a lame excuse for their laziness and she starts to clean them herself...
All of them keep watching her in fear and Nakul tries to stop her...
But Geet is stuborn and she thinks that it's her duty to keep the place clean as long as she stays there...
Dadi is so kind to let her stay at KM and she owes this to dadi...
Geet opens and looks at the cups and tropies...
She takes one of them out to clean it...she is also curious to know who is the champion here?
She thinks that it should be Maan's, so all his strength comes from his sports...
Just then Maan's car comes and thet servants disappear immediately...
Geet is surprised by their act but thinks that they are scared of Maan...
Maan steps in and finds Geet standing with the trophy...
Maan gets angry and starts to shout...
Maan: Geeet Geeet
How dare she touches them? Stupid girl...how would she know their value? Those are Vicky's...
Maan's beloved bro's trophies...Maan values them more than anything...
Till date no one but Maan had handled them...
Maan can never accept anyone meddling with Vicky's things...
Maan: Dadiii Dadiii
Geet is scared that something is wrong and she turns back to looks at Maan...
Maan cames running and is so worried and agitated...
Geet is frightened and she shivers...
She is standind on a stool and loses her balance...
Trying to balance herself she lets off the trophy and it falls on the floor and breaks...
Ohhh no...what has she done?
Maan turns mad at this point...he had tolerated all her foolish acts just for Dadi but this time it's too much for him to handle...he loses his senses...
He runs and picks the pieces...
Geet tries to helps him but Maan pushes her off...
Maan: haath mat lagao
Geet is afraid that she had broken Maan's victory trophy...that's why he is mad...
Geet: ohhh meinne galthi se
Maan stares: chup bilkul chup
Maan: tummari himmat kaise hui issko chune ki, tum kya jaanthe ho ye sab kya hai? pagal ladhki, tumme toh iss ghar ke andar katam rakhna hi nahi chahiye thi, meinne kaha na
Geet is confused...she is also angry that Maan is over reacting...
Maan: Nakulll
Nakul comes running...he is also shivering...
Maan: tumne issko rokha kyun nahi?
Nakul: meinne toh rokhne ki bahut kosish kiya tha sab
Maan: mujhe laga ki ye ladhki toh meri baat ko hi nahi sunthi
Maan looks at Geet...
Geet: woh...I'm sorry, ye toh galthi se mere haath se chut gayi
Maan: galthi toh meri hai, meinne tumme yahan lekhe aana hi nahi chaiye thi, tumme iss ghar mein rehne ki koi haq nahi hai, chale jao yahan se, ab tum ek pal bhi yahan nahi reh sakthi
Maan catches hold of her hand and takes her out of the house...
He leaves her out and gets in...
Geet stands there looking at him...
Maan goes to fix the pieces and never returns...
Geet keeps standing out in the sun for hours together...
Nakul asks her to wait inside the OH till dadi comes but she refuses to move...
Dadi comes back from the Gurudwara and finds Geet standing out tired and dull...she is about to faint when Dadi comes and holds her...
Dadi: Geeet, Geet bete, aap yaha kyun kade ho? andar aayiye
Geet: nahi Dadi
Dadi: hare, aap kab se yahan kadi ho?
Nakul comes and tells what happened...
Dadi: Geet bete, ye kaisa pagalpan hai?
Geet: woh...woh mujhse bahut nafrat karthe hai
Dadi: kaun?
Geet: woh mujhe ghar se nikhalna chahthe hai
Dadi: Maan? Maan aaise kyun karenge?
Geet: unko mera yahan rehna pasand hi nahi hai, mujhe yahan nahi rehna chahiye thi
Dadi: aaise koi baat nahi hai, aap pehle andar aayiye, hummare hothe hue aapko iss ghar se koi nahi nikal saktha
Dadi takes her in...
Dadi: Nakul, pani lao
Nakul brings water and juice...
Dadi: Geet, ye kya bachpana hai bete? Aapko kuch ho jaatha toh? Pehle issko pijiye
Geet: aap bahut achche ho dadi, lekhin woh bahut bhure hai
Dadi: aaise kuch nahi hai bete
Geet: aap nahi jaanthe, kaise jwalamuki banke mujhe jalana chahathe the, pure ke pure Dhust Danav
Dadi: aap bahut tak gaye ho, aap pehle htoda aaram kijiya hum shamko baat karenge
Geet: teek hai dadi
Geet is too tired to continue her complaints...
She leaves to take some rest...
Dadi knows why Maan is so upset with Geet...
That night...Maan skips dinner...
Dadi knows that he is upset and it's his usual way of facing such situations, hurting himself...
Geet has also refused her dinner...
Nakul tells dadi that Geet is also on a hunger strike...
Dadi can't spoil Geet too just like she spoilt Maan, she has to stop this right in the beginning...
Dadi goes to see Geet...
Geet is packing her things...
Dadi is shocked...Geet has decided to leave KM...
Dadi: Geet bete, ye sab kya hai?
Geet: mein hostel jaa rahi hoon, aap Munshiji se bathadijiye
Dadi: toh aap iss dadi ko akhele chodke jaa rahe hai?
Geet: Dadi, ab mein yahan nahi reh sakthi
Geet is stuborn...she has had enough...it's time for her to leave...
Dadi: par Geet bete, hum bhi jaanthe hai ki Maan ne jo kuch bhi kiya hai, bahut bhura kiya hai
Geet: meinne jaanpoochkke toh nahi thoda, meinne toh unkke chilane se darkke hi giradiya tha
Dadi: hum sab jaathe hai bete, hum aapko bhi jaanthe aur Maan ko bhi
Geet: meine toh maafi bhi manga tha
Dadi: aapko maafi mangne ki koi zaroorat nahi, aapne koi galthi nahi ki
Geet: par woh toh mujhe kaise bhi yahan se bhagana chahathe hai, haina dadi?
Geet is very sad that Maan hates her so much...
Dadi: woh baat nahi hai bete, Maan aaise nahi sochthe
Geet: aaise hi sochthe hai, unko mere yahan rehne se bahut takleef hothi hai
Dadi: aapne unko bahut galat samja hai bete
Geet: nahi dadi ma, aap kuch nahi jaanthe
Dadi: nahi bete, aap kuch nahi jaanthe Maan ke barein mein, aayiye mere saath
Geet: kahan?
Dadi: aapko apne sawaalon ka jawab chaiye na?
Geet: haan
Dadi: toh aayiye
Dadi takes Geet to the corner room which is always kept locked...
Dadi opens it and takes Geet in...
Geet thought that it's some store room to keep unwanted old things...
But this seems to be the most beautiful room in KM...it's also so big...
Geet wonders what's so secretive about this place...
To her surprise it looks as if someone is still using that place and it isn't deserted...
Geet is puzzled what could be the reason behind Maan's strange bahaviour?
And why has Dadi brought Geet here?
Geet begins to look for clues...
