The cover and paper slipped from his hand and a ring fell from the cover rolling ... Meer bent down and picked the ring... and saw it... it's a gold ring... but with a missing stone... Maan saw it and immediately took it from her... it is the same ring he gave to geet on their small engagement ceremony... but it had a diamond ... indeed a big one... but now it's missing... something dawned to him and his eyes widened his heart ached and raced at the same time and he shouted ... Geeettt...
Meera called Maan... Maan... kya hua... kyun chilla rahe ho... kya hain uss khat mein...
but didn't answer her... he pushed the letter in his pocket and ran towards his car... Meera followed calling him... but Maan didn't bother to answer her...she just sat in time ready to move car... otherwise Maan would have left her in the court itself...
Maan is driving fast... Meera gain questioned him... Maan .. what is this... yeh kya pagal pan hain... aaj tumhara aur uska divorce hua hain... you need not to bother about her anymore... woh theek hojayegi... kuch dinon mein... Meera was annoyed... with Maan's reaction to geet's letter...
Maan shouted... woh zinda rahegi toh theek hogi... oh god... main kaise bhul gaya... mujhe pata tha ... woh kya sochti hain... Phir bhi maine yeh sab kiya... agar geet ko kuch hogaya toh main kaise jiyunga... he said in flow .. he didn't realise what he said... but Meera was shocked to listen his words... kaise jiyunga ka kya matlab hain...she thought...
but Maan's thoughts ran to the time when he first met geet...
Maan Singh khurana... Dr. Maan Singh khurana... is in hoshiyapur village with his colleagues on medical camp... his hospital conducts monthly tours like this and goes around and treats the poor people...
when he was checking someone he heard a commotion outside the tent... he sent the patient and went outside to see... he saw a group of people brought a girl... immediately after seeing her he assessed it's a clear case of suicide... she is turning blue and a white foam like liquid is coming out of her mouth... he asked one of the doctor and a nurse to assist him and he went to check the girl...
sometime later he came out and the people brought her came to him asking her condition... but Maan couldn't do anything... she was brought late... she couldn't survive...
the group of people sighed.. but nobody cried... rather nobody cared... Maan was furious... he shouted... how insensitive of you... Yaha kisi ki jaan gayi hai. aur tum log aise react karr rahe ho...
person... Doctor Saab... yeh hamari podosan hain... hamari koi nahi lagti... isse aise dekha toh Yaha leke aaye... aur kya karna hain hume...
person turned and said to his other followers... chalo ... chalte hain... aur sarpanch ji se kehte hain... ab wohi kuch karsakte hain... iska antim samskar toh hume se hi kisi ko karna hain... sarpanch ji hi kuch so henge ab.. chalo chalo...
all off them went murmuring about the incident and only one girl is left behind... she came forward and asked Maan... Doctor Saab... kya main usse dekh sakti hoon ek aakhri baar...
Maan nodded... she went inside and saw the girl... came out after few minutes and left from there with out much noise... Maan saw her leaving quietly wiping her tears...
Evening time... Maan was relaxing in cool breeze thinking about the girl who committed suicide when he heard the Cham Cham of payals... he saw a girls coming towards him with a bag in her hand...
Maan saw the girl... she is the same girl whom he met in the afternoon...
she came and said... Saab... main khana laayi hoon... aaj kaka nahi aapaya... unhone mujhe bheja hain... main khana laga doon...Maan nodded...
Geet served him his dinner and he started to talk to her... woh jo subah woh ladki...
Geet - ji.. woh Channi hain...meri dost...thi... she said heavily...
Maan - ok.. Channi ne aisa kyun kiya..
Geet - ji.. uska koi nahi hai iss duniya mein...
Maan - matlab
Geet - do mahine pehle hi uski Maa guzar gayi... aur do din pehle uske pati ne usse ghar se nikal diya... toh aur kya karti...
Maan - kyun kyun nikal diya...
Geet - pehle pata nahi tha ... dono ke beech mein kya jhagda hua... woh kal subah Yaha aayi thi... usne mujhe bhi kuch nahi bataya... aur Shamil mujhe uska khat mila... aur usne likha ki uske patine kisi aur se shaadi karli... zyada padhi likhi... zyada sundar... aur zyada paise wali ladki se...
Maan - Maanta hoon uske saath theek nahi hua.. lekin aise karna galat haina... kisi aur ke liye apni jaan kyun dena...
Geet looked into his eyes and said... aur kya Karti babuji... Jeene ke liye koi wajah to chahiye na.. aur jab uska pati hi usse apni zindagi se bhar nikal diya toh jee kar bhi kya karegi... Roz apni kismat par roti ha taane sunti ... yaha ke log usse Jeene nahi denge... usse toh acha hain ki woh chali jaati... aur main bhi wahi karti... jab Jeene ki wajah hi nahi rahegi toh jike kya karungi...
Maan - yeh galat hain...
Geet - sahi ya galat to aap jaise log jaane babu... lekin sehna toh hume hi haina... aur aisi zindagi se behtar maut hain...
Maan was startled with her words... he couldn't say anything... Geet left after his dinner...
Maan said - I clearly know what's her thinking in these matters... and I did this... oh god... plz babaji ...meri geet ko kuch mat hone dena...
Meera again caught the word... meri geet... but she didn't say anything...
Meera - lekin Maan tum usse dhondhoge kaise...
Maan - main jaanta hoon woh kaha hogi... woh nadi ke uss paar... Gurudwara ko dekhte hue baithi hogi... park mein...
Meera - tum toh usse itni ache se jaante ho Maan...
precap - marriage
