PART - 15
DAWN come and go. Life follow its routine. Four months had been passed when that horrible incident took place in their life's. Searchers stopped after 15 days. They were sure that Geet wasn't alive and her body blasts with the car. Maan's world stopped there only. He still not able to believe that she was not more with him. His days are lonely and nights were suffering. Anger and alchohal engulfed him. He was ruthless before but now he is a pure monster,without any emotion lived in him. His body needs her only. She was his first and last. Except her he never allowed any woman near him and now all wants to made him believe that she left the world. Maan's eyes always searching her but his mind told that he was only fooling himself.
In London:
Dev was also in grief. One side his guilt of Geet's death and other side Dadima's declining health. Doc's hinted him already that chance of survival was very less but still he never give up just because of Meera. She become his strength. After Geet's news she was the one who never leave him alone and tried to brought him out of his guilt.
"Meera can i ask you something?" She always supports him and now he to wants to know why she was suffering like hell. He asked and Meera granted a permission. "Don't take me wrong,but one question is bothering me. Your salary is good enough for a proper survival then why your financial conditions are worst?" he asked his doubt and Meera's eyes lowered. Still he can sense pain she tried to hide. "its ok. If you dont want to share it,i will not ask again." Dev shut down the topic and stood up to leave but hold ack by her.
Meera hold his wrist and stops him. He glanced back. Her head was still lowered. She start telling him the truthh of her past but without looking at him. "i have a debt of ten crore pounds." she told and Dev's pupil widened with shock.
"what?" it comes out as a quick reaction. "ten crore pounds? I mean why?" he was completely confuse to react properly.
Her eyes dropped many tears and she clenched hard her eeys to stop them at there only. "my father. He wants to earn quick money and for that he start playing gamble. My mother tried to stop him but she only got slap and hard hits in return. When he lost everything we thought may he stop now but it was our mirage only. He start playing on credit. He took money on high rate of intrest but never stop playing till his last breath. My mother died in absense of our basic needs. But she send me to my granny and who made me complete my studies. But my dad destroyed everything. My granny was died and he mortage her house to for more money. He left no place for me to live and one day he died leaving his huge debt for me. Money lender is very dangerous man. He wants his money back at any cost and for that he can go to any extend. He even wants me to sold at brothel." Meera's throat chocked and tears broked the bounderies og her lashes and comes out.
Dev's heart sqeezed firmly. He framed her face and wiped off her tears. "its ok. No need to tell what only giving you pain." Dev embraced her. He wants to absorb her sobbings,querrling with her breath.
"but one of his man was well known of my father. He saved me. But only on one condition the repay back his all money. Thats's why my all salary go to him. I kept only small amout for my basic survival because if i dont,he was ready to sell me,where i have to sell myself day and night to repay my debt." Though he stopped but she wants to share the burden she carried on her heart. Meera never ever show her pain to anyone. Not even to dadima with whom she share a great bond. Because she knew if she told her then she will ready to give all money but Meera dont want to take advantage of being in her good books.
Dev caressed her hairs to calmed her. His fists gripped hard tearing his own flesh. "naam kya hai uska?" he wants to know.
Meera alerts and come out of his embrace. "i think its too late. Dadima is waiting for us." She tried to divert but failed.
Dev pulled her and stare her furiously. "i asked something. Did you hear that?" he was definately dominating this moment.
"why you want to know? I share it with you because i want to lighten my heart. That's it. Its my problem and i can deal it with my own." Meera denied telling him any truth and moved from there. Dev not asked again but he determined to help her out ofcourse.
Both reached to hospital to see Dadima. She was stable since morning. Dev had a bit relief. Whole night both stayed with her. Her face was calm then before.
But at 4 am. Her condition turn worst. Doc took her to OT but even after every try they failed to save her and Dadima died. She too left Dev now alone in this world,he had no one to whom he called his own. He still not come out of the truma and now this incident broked him completely.
