Part - 21
Entering the room Geet is surprised why they keep this room closed always?
Geet turns back and looks at Dadi for an answer...'but Dadi is also upet...
Even Dadi couldn't overcome the past easiy...
It all seems as is it all happened just the day before...
Dadi's eyes become wet and Dadi is lost in her thoughts...
Geet didn't want to disturb dadi...
Geet takes a look around...
This is Vicky's room...this room doesn't have a haunted look...
This is kept so clean as if Vicky is using this even today...
It's so tidy and seems like being in use till now...yes, this is Maan's hide out...
Whenever Maan thinks of Vicky he comes here and locks himself in for hours...
But after Geet came to KM, Maan has come here just a couple of times...
This girl has occupied his mind so much that he even forgot his bro, Vicky, how is this possible?
Maan feels guilty for that too, how could he forget Vicky?
Geet takes a look around the room...she finds some pictures of Maan with Vicky...
Maan is happy and also smiling in those pictures...he has totally changed now...
His arrogance is missing and there is a proud brother in Vicky always adoring his little brother...
Dadi: yahi hai wajhe Maan ki iss halat ki
Geet: DAdi?
Dadi: haan, issi ne mere Maan ki kushiyan cheenliya hai, jitney kushiyan Maan ko dene ki spane dekhathe the utna hi dukh dekhe chale gaye
Dadi couldn't control her tears and anguish...
She kind of feels that Vicky left Maan lurking alone after all the tall promises he made of a big bro...
Maan is still struggling to cope with this huge loss...
Geet: ye kaun hai?
Dadi: ye Maan ke bhai Vicky hai, hummare bade pothe
Geet: ab ye kahan chale gaye?
Geet thinks that he might have separated from his family after marriage...
Dadi: ab ye upar chale gaye, unke mabaap ke paas
Geet is shocked to gear that...she feels very sorry for dadi...
Geet: kya?
Dadi: ye hum sab ko chodke bagwan ke paas chale gaye, kash uparwala humme bhi apne paas bhulatha, hum Maan ko aaise halat mein aakhir kab tak dekh sakthe hai, ab humme ye sab jelne ki himmat nahi hai
Geet: dadima, aap aaisa udaas mat hojayiye, bagwan hamesha humme koi na koi rastha dikahthe hai, bas humme uss rasthe ko dhoodna chahiye
Dadi: ab hummare aakhri umeed toh aap hi hai Geet, humme pura barosa hai ki aap hi woh rastha hai, shayad bagwan ne aapko issiliye hummare paas bheja hai
Geet: dadi, aap apna dil chota mat kijiye, aapke jaise achche logon ke saath hamesha achcha hi hotha, par aap ke dusre pothe toh kabhi bhi kush nahi ho sakthe, unko sirf bhurayiyan nazar aathe hai
Dadi: ye toh unki kismat hai, aap ko kya lagtha? Maan peithe se hi aaise hai, nahi bete, inn photos ko dekha aapne, Maan kitne kush hai, aur kitne nadaan hai, Maan bahut pyaare bache the, aur sabka ladla tha Maan, aur ab sab unko akhela chodke chale gaye
Dadi tells Geet about Maan's past...
Maan's mom Sheetal Khurana was such a beautiful lady without any pride, she was so loving and caring, she loved her younger son so much that she used to carry him even when he was 8 yrs old, she never let him step on the dirt...
Patha nahi kiski nazar lagi usko, woh zyada din kush nahi reh payi...
She had misunderstandings with her husband Mr.Madan Khurana and they always kept fighting till one day she committed suicide leaving behind her two sons...
After that dadi came to Delhi leaving Dadaji at Hoshiarpur to look after her grandsons...
Mr.Khurana loved his sons very much and he took utmost care that they never miss their mother in anyways...
Vicky was 12 and Maan 8 when she left them...
Maan being so young everyone took special care of him and his father became his mother looking after him like Sheetal did, he used to feed Maan breakfast before Maan got ready for his school, Maan was always late so that his father would help him in everything, from taking bath to eating his food...
Vicky took care of himself and he never depended on anyone...he was so mature for his age...
Vicky was sent to a boarding school as dadi couldn't take care of both of them, so Maan was the one who stayed at home and grew up under the love and care of his father...
Whenever Mr.khuaran went on a business trip he got Maan's favourite sweets and on returning home he will straightaway walk into Maan's room, and wake him up even if it's half past mid-night and feed him himself before going to bed...next morning Maan wouldn't remember any of that but will say that he loved that so much just to see the smile on his father's face...
Maan loved his father and knew that he too missed Sheetal as much as Vicky and Maan did...
His only problem was that he loved his wife too much...though he seemed to be allright the guilt of her committing suicide b'coz of him kept esting him from the inside...
He became an alcoholic and his health deteriorated...
Maan was 14 when Mr.Khurana died of liver failure...a praise he had to pay for his drinking habits, the one that took away his wife's life and made his children orphans...
Vicky had just then joined college...he gave up his studies as his little brother and their business needed his services in the absence of their father...
Vicky then took over KC and the family, specialy Maan...
Vicky always stood by his little brother in every step he made, when he entered higher secomdary, when he joined college and also wanted Maan to persue his PG...he wanted Maan to finish his studies before taking up the business responsibilities, not like him scarifising his studies...
Vicky knew very well how Maan felt losing the parents at the age when we needed them the most, he lost Sheetal when he was young and needed mother's love, he lost his father when he stepped into his tee ages, when everyone looks forward to their father for his guidance...
But Maan was fortunate enough to have a big Bro like Vicky who took care of him like a father...
Vicky had a lot of friends who used to stay at theor home when Mr.Khuarana left and dadi needed support...
Maan became evryone's pet and he became friends with them...
After joinng college Maan used to hang out with Vicky all the time, he followed him like a shadow. ...
Vicky KC jaatha toh Maan bhi saath jaatha...Vicky friends se milne jaatha toh Maan bhi uskke saath hi jaatha...mostly they come to see Maan and wanted to stay with dadi. They loved hanging around the Khuarana residence more as they had no one to restrict them, moreover Vicky's family needed them the most...they helped dadi and even did shopping with dadi...
Dadi oculd manage only b'coz of those wonderful friends of Vicky...they were gems like Vicky...
Vicky too never left Maan alone and took him along wherever he went...to movies, to restaurants, to resorts and wherever he hanged out with his friends...
Vicky loved challenges and after all the challenges he faced at home he became addicted to challenges...he wanted to make his business bigger and the best...no.1 banna hai ussko...
He worked day in and day out to achieve his goal...
He promoted his business so well and soon became the centre of attraction amongst the business giants...he competed with them with ease and managed to succeed many times...
He then bought KM and renovated it to his taste...
He always asked Maan's suggestions whether it is business or family matters, but Maan never had an opinion of his own, he always supported Vicky's ideas, he actualy imitated Vicky and copied him always...his style of dressing, his hair style and also wanted to be like Vicky, who is his icon...
But Vicky used to encourage Maan to have his own dreams and his own way of living, he wanted Maan to think independently and take his own decisions...
After Maan completed his graduarions, Maan thought that he would join Vicky in the business, Maan wanted to be like Vicky, a business man, mainly to be with his Bro, and had no worries or plans for his future, his life is his brother...
Vicky forced him to join MBA, he wanted his little brother to be a step ahead of him always...
And he had bigger plans for Maan, Vicky needed some time to develop KC into an MNC and Maan would take charge of it's foreign wing...yes, Vicky always dreamt big and worked very hard to make it ture...
To some extent he succeeded in his own dreams of bringing KC to the no.1 spot...
His hard work paid and his company bagged a huge deal, one that even the sharks in the trade wished to sign, but Vicky's dedication and his young thoughts and ideas, refreshing plans and designs attracted the cients to book him...
Vicky's arrival as a new emerging builder alarmed some of his rivals while some of them admired his abilities and became his fans...
His acievements got him a lot of admires in the business world...
Many wanted to have business with him while some had long term plans, they wanted to have Vciky for themselves, they wanted Vicky to marry their daughters...
Dadi too felt that it's time for Vicky's wed lock...
But Vicky had no time for all these things, he is fully focused on his work...
He didn't want any distractions till he attained his goal...
But dadi is not ready to wait anymore...she wanted a bahu...she wanted her family to flourish...
After all the ill fate, she wanted something good to happen at the Khurana home...
Dadi convinced Vicky that he has to get married for Maan's sake, maan desperately needs a family, a loving babhi who could take the responsibility of her devar from dadi as dadi is getting old ...dadi wants to retire and hand over the family charges to her bahu...
One gentleman Mr.Khanna was so keen to have relationship with the Khuranas that he was ready to send his Sameera daughter to KM if Vicky likes to see her...
Dadi didn't like the idea but she too was interested in this proposal as the Khuranas knew the Khannas already...dadi knows the Khannas but haven't yet met Sameera...
Dadi told about this to Vicky...Maan was the one who seemed interested...
Vicky didn't bother much and left it on Dadi to decide without even looking at the girl's photo...
Dadi is very disappointed by this attitude...Maan instantly liked Sameera and wanted to somehow fix this girl as she was beautiful and dadi is acquainted with her family...
Dadi was not ready to proceed until Vicky showed some interest or atleast he meets Sameera once...
Maan asks Dadi to fix a meeting if Vicky with Sam and that he would persuade his bro to get married, Maan promised to make sure Vicky met Sameera...
Dadi discussed the matter with Khannas and they agreed to bring their daughter to a friend's wedding...
Everything is fixed but Vicky had some important meeting...his deal was about to be finalized...
And it was left to Maan and Dadi to go meet the girl...
Vicky said that it's enough if Maan is OK with the girl...
Maan met Sameera and told her loads of stories about his Big bro...
Sam was so impressed she immediately wanted to marry this Vicky without even meeting him...
Maan was very happy for his Bro but Dadi waited for Vicky's concent...
Vicky too was happy that Maan liked his babhi and he also agreed for the relationship...
But he said that he needed some time, he wanted to successfully finish this deal and settle in his business before heading into this relationship...
He valued relationships so much that he knew he wouldn't have much time for this now...
Dadi agreed to postpone the wedding for a year but wanted to have the engagement quicker...
Mr.Khanna was ready to wait as he won't want to miss a bridegroom like Vicky...
Vicky wanted to make sure KC is at it's best when Maan enters business...
He treated his little brother like a prince and he wanted to crown him as the king of their business empire...
Sameera turned to be the Lucky charm for Vicky and he grabbed the deal he was looking for, something bigger than he expected...that deal would propel KC to the no.1 spot...
Vicky's friends wanted to celebrate his success...
Maan suggested that they could throw a huge bachelor's party that weekend in Goa as his Big bro is going to be a familyman soon...
Everyone liked the idea and Maan made all the arrangements himself personally ...
He even invited sameera to join them on Sunday...when the party is to be held...
Sameera too agreed to come with her friends...she was excited to meet Vicky...
Maan wanted to keep this a secret and sameera too agreed for that...they wanted to surprise Vicky...
But fate had plans for a bigger surprise not only for Vicky but the rest of them too...
