Surprise... Surprise... Surprise... 😆its a surprise for me too i suddenly got some free time today... and came up with this 😉
Part 26
The songs and dance continued till dusk; all the hands covered in mehendi and faces covered with smile. Geet's mehendi was all dried up, she had applied mustered oil so that it is removed easily from her hand, as she shouldn't wash it today so that the color goes dark.
Geet was sitting at the main hall, some dancers were dancing; while Pari was feeding her some snacks as she couldn't eat herself due to mehendi; but more than feeding Geet, Pari was eating herself. 😆
Geet: oye bhukkad! I am the dulhann not you. So concentrate on feeding me right now; you can eat to your hearts full later.
Geet snapped irritated.
Pari: jitna mil raha hai usme khush reh; surely you cannot do anything to me now with your mehendi clad hands.
She said and stuck her tongue out. She was just trying to tease Geet. Geet made a fake baby face and turned her head.
Pari: alle... mele baby ko gussa aaya?
She said in manaofying tone bringing another morsel to her mouth and Geet nodded cutely.
Pari: good! Ye sab nakhre na apni piyaji k liye bacha k rakho.
She said smirkingly and reversed her hand from Geet's mouth to her own and ate that morsel herself then burst out laughing.
Geet: PARI!! Tu ruk ja... dekh lungi mai tujhe.
Before Pari could actually manaofy her; she was called by someone to look into something.
Pari: ab muh phula k mat baithna; we will continue fighting later but for now smile ok? Mai aati hu!
She said and ran making Geet smile to herself.
A few moments later Rano came and helped Geet remove the dried up mehendi from her hands; while she was doing that her cell beeped and all her attention turned to it thinking it was Maan. She was getting very restless to get her hands on her cell so Rano hurriedly removed all the mehendi from her hands and feet and instructed her to go to her room and rest. Geet nodded and quickly rushed to her room with her cell texting Maan.
Geet was lying on the bed in her room still texting Maan, very busy to notice when Rano came in her room to check on her; the stern voice of her mom brought her back.
Rano: GEET... Ye kya tareeka hai? Thik se baitho.
She spoke sternly, actually Geet was carelessly lying in bed, her dress little disheveled and so was her hairs; 'itni Badi ho gai ye Ladki, shadi k din bhi koi hosh nahi hai! Aise koi baithta hai kya? Kab kon Milne aa jaye aur aise dekh le? Uff aajkl k bachhe kuch sochte, samajhte nahi hai!'
She kept murmuring and Geet pouted.
But on closer look; her mom was not wrong too; she is dulhann and anyone can come anytime to meet her, she needs to be little presentable. 'Ye sab na Maan k wajah se hua hai; he makes me forget everything' she cribbed and slowly got up to hug her mom.
Geet: sorry mamma... Abse aisa nahi hoga. Promise.
She pinched her throat and Rano smiled at her. Geet did a happy dance mentally seeing her smile.
Geet: waise sari galti meri nahi hai. See ur damad; wo mujhe pareshaan karte hai, how am I to think all these when he is in my mind.
Oops she bit her tongue for speaking more than required and Rano smacked her head.
Rano: chal badmash.
Achha ab mai chalti hu thoda kaam hai.
She started to leave but Geet held her hand.
Rano: kya hua beta?
She turned and got shock of life to see tears in eyes of her princess. She sat beside her and wiped her eyes immediately...
Rano: sshh... sshh... Kya hua ro kyu rahi hai? Jhagda hua kya Maan beta se?
She asked worried, to which Geet made an irritated look and nodded in NO
Rano: toh firr? Kya hua bata toh mujhe!
And suddenly Geet hugged her hard.
Geet: mumma... Mumma
She sobbed hard making Rano worried. After few moments only she realized why she might be crying, she lifted her hand and started to caressed Geet's hairs softly...
Geet: mujhe... mm... mujhe aapko chod k nahi jana.
She sobbed in her mother's arms; while Rano kept her close to her chest. Tears threatened to fall from her eyes too, she controlled with great difficulty.
Geet: nahi jana mumma... Pls.
Geet repeated and snuggled to her mom more if that was possible. Few drops fell from Rano's eyes too, for how long can she hold back; it's the most emotional phase of a woman's life.
They stayed in hug for some time calming themselves then Rano gently parted her. She cupped her face and kissed her forehead.
Rano: aisa nahi kehte bacha... Ye toh duniya ki reet hai. Betiyon ko toh ek din Jana hi padta hai; hum sach se bhag nahi sakte na?
Geet nodded in no while tears still kept falling... Rano wiped them again.
Rano: meri rani beti hai na? Aise nahi rote, waise bhi tum kaha dur ja rahi ho, issi sheher me ho! Aur Avantika ji kitni achhi hai tumhe kitna pyar karti hai, dekhna tumhe meri aur tumhare papa ki yaad bhi nahi aaegi. Aur Maan beta toh kitna dhyan rakhte hai tumhara; fir bhi aise ro rahi ho.
Rano said choaking; it is not easy to console Geet when she herself is so emotionally charged about sending her daughter away to a new house all alone.
But Geet was nowhere to calm down, she kept sobbing clinging to her mom while she was saying soothing words to her.
Same time two persons were standing outside seeing the scene; they didn't dare to come in, lest they get weak and started to cry too; it was Mr. Handa and Yash. Rano's eyes met with her husband, silent message passed between them to make her calm; he quickly removed the water droplet that had formed at the corners of his eyes and turned to see Yash there already crying, he hugged his son.
Rano was all the way more emotional seeing all ready to cry buckets out. She saw that Geet was also little sober now as her cries had reduced she just kept clinging to her. A plan formed in the mind of coolest mom immediately, she whispered to Geet.
Rano: Geet aise nahi karte beta. Agar aisa hai toh mai tumhare papa se keh deti hoon, shadi hi cancel kar denge! Firr tumhe kahi jaana nahi padega!
At that there was silence for a moment and then...! Geet suddenly separated from her mom and wiped her tears fast... WHATT! Shadi cancel? No no... aisa nahi ho sakta!! Here I can't wait for shadi and the nature is conspiring otherwise!' she thought, it's you only' said her inner voice sarcastically and she shook her head hard in NO! The other three were seeing the change in her expressions with those two words, and having hard time to control their laughter.
Geet was finally done with making her face clean off her tears; she looked up to her mom
Geet: nahi nahi mumma... mai kaha ro rahi hu... dekho! See ek bhi aasu nahi hai. Papa ko mat bolo!! What if he thought something bad about avntika aunty or Maan! Nahi nahi...!
And she continued with her rant of all that she thought in those two minutes while Rano was about to burst out laughing; Mr. Handa signaled her not to break the bubble and he came inside the room with straight face.
Mr. Handa: Rano... Ye kya ho raha hai yaha?
He then turned towards Geet.
Mr. Handa: Geet...?
And before he could speak a word Geet jumped in...
Geet: kuchh nahi papa... mai aur mummy toh bas aise hi baat kar rahe thhe...
N she gave an extra-broad fake smile; but her mom was all set to cancel her wedding today kya dushmani hai mujhse?' she cribbed.
Rano: arre kaise kuchh nahi... ye aapki ladli ro rahi hai; kehti hai aapko chhod k nahi jana...
Mr. Handa: arre toh isme rone ka kya hai hum shadi...
He stopped; making Geet's heartbeats high... no babaji pls.. Shadi cancel nahi... plsplspls' she prayed like hundred times in that 2 seconds with eyes closed tight. Her breath stopped in next second as her dad continued...
Mr. Handa: hum Maan ko kahenge ki wo yaha shift ho jaye...
She opened her eyes instantly with a wide smile and then frowned immediately; as all were laughing on her, mummy-papa toh thik hai but her brother joined too laughing like an idiot.
Yash: dad... seriously! I can't believe ki iski shadi hone wali hai... such a cry baby; bechare mere jiju, fass gaye...
He spoke between his laughter... and Geet stuck her tongue out at him to which he gave a thumbs down; she immediately looked at her papa with baby face...
Mr. Handa: bass... abb koi kuchh nahi kahega meri chiiriya ko...
He spoke with finality and ruffled her hairs. He would call her "chiriya" a bird; whenever there will be talks of her marriage, meaning she will leave his house and fly away to her new world; and that would make get him way too emotional. Geet knew that so she tried to lighten the mood...
Geet: haan aur iss bilav ko bolo yaha se jaane!
She snapped at her bro; she would always call him "bilav" means a cat, whenever her papa calls her chiriya.
Yash shook her head and all of them joined in a family hug.
Later, Rano left Geet alone and asked her to sleep for a while.
As she was left alone she though how she made fool of herself and all were laughing on her... but then love does that to you! How can she not react when her shadi was in danger; she blushed thinking how much maan will make fun of her when she will tell him all that. She hid her face in pillow and slept with a smile.
Few hours later... @Geet's room
Geet had called her mom; and she had come running thinking there was a problem. But Geet's so-called problem made her frustrated.
Geet: mumma kuchh khane ka de do pls... Bahut bhook lagi hai!
Geet cribbed cutely.
Rano: abhi toh tumne nashta kiya na, i saw Pari tumhe khila rahi thi.
She said frustrated; already her mind was diving in several parts supervising all works, and here this girl was behaving like it was any other normal day.
Geet: oh pls mumma aap jaanti ho apni bhukkad Pari ko; khud kha li sab mujhe kuchh nahi khilaya...
Rano: hayye rabba ye aajkal ki ladkiyan bhi na... Humare zamane me toh shadi k samay sab bhuk-pyas marr jati thi... Issse pata nahi itni bhook kyu lagti hai...
Rano cribbed making Geet pout;
"Kyu nazar laga rahi hai meri bachhi k khane pe Ranoji"
They both turned to find a smiling Avantika at the door.
Rano: arre Avantikaji aap... Aaiya na ander.
Rano welcomed her in and eyes Geet to sit properly in front of her sasu-ma; Geet straightened up immediately.
Avanitka moved in and someone followed her. She introduced her also...
Avantika: aiiye na bhabhi ander...
Ye Maan ki mamiji hai; meri bhabhi. Aaj hi aayi hai shadi k liye, bahu se milna chahti thi.
She introduced mamji and tuned to her now...
Avantika: aur bhabhi ye Ranoji hai Geet ki mummy aur ye Geet hai; aapki bahu!
Rano said namaste bhenji' and Geet was also about to say namaste auntiji' when her eyes fell on her sasu-ma who was signaling her to touch feet; she was experienced in reading the signals department by now, she immediately bent and took blessings of mamiji...
Mamji: jeeti raho beti... Khoob khush raho
She too blessed her and they sat; Rano left the room in pretext of work, she wanted to leave Geet alone with her in-laws so that she knows how to handle "relatives".
Geet sat with Avantika and mamji and they had some random chats initially... it was getting comfortable slowly except some comments like bahu toh sanskari dhundi hai Avantika' and all. Avantika was hesitant as mamiji strongly recommended her brother's daughter for Maan; but was clear NO on her reason for which is still not known to anyone. Then suddenly mamiji exclaimed...
Mamiji: yeh kya... bahu ki mehendi toh peeli padi hai. Thoda bhi rang nahi chadha..
She spoke pulling one of Geet's hand suddenly that for a moment Geet thought she would fall! Both Geet and Avantika were stunned!
Even Geet hadn't noticed her mehendi yet; and it was so highly disappointing that a tear or two might fall from her eyes she feared but forced a smile.
Avantika pulled other hand of Geet and closely examined; she too was disappointed to see the color as orangish... still couldn't show in front of mamiji...
Avantika: kuchh nahi hota kal tak rach jaegi bass haath suna nahi dikhna chahiye...
She tried to reason with a forced smile, she had seen Geet's face too and could predict her plight. But mamiji had got a good chance it seemed. She continued without thinking...
Mamiji: kaisi baat kar rahi ho Avantika...? Mehendi ka rang nahi chadhne ka matlab jaanti ho na? Pati ka pyar nahi milega... tumne Maan beta ko puchha toh than a shadi pakki karne se pehle? Ya...
That was enough to bring tears to Geet's eyes... She lowered her head not to show it. But it made Avantika's temper rise up nobody makes my children cry' she thought but couldn't have said something harsh too...
Avantika: kya bhabhi aap itni modern ho k aise baatein karti hai?
That "modern" word did its work; she knew how much her bahbhi liked to be called modern.
Avantika: aur mehendi k rang se kuchh prove nahi hota; mere Maan-Geet ka oyar toh aap dekh hi lengi.
She spoke looking at Geet like assuring her and also it was clear but polite warning to her. And they both left Geet alone after few more minutes...
As she was left alone the only thing that kept echoing in her mind was mamiji's words... She gave a look at her hand the rubbed it together, then ran to find some oil and poured half of the bottle and rubbed it in her mehendi, still no result. She sat thud on her bed and tears stared to fall now uncontrollably from her deer eyes.
