Ch#6
In golden rays of sun da mangalsuttar placed infront of her shined even more.She pulled back her trembling hand back.She was not getting courage to play wid dis sacred,powerful ornament which bound two souls together..Her & Maan .
Her thoughts broke,she went out of room worriedly hearing dadi maa voice"haey mera sarr ghoom rha hai,mujhe chakar aa rhe hen,mera dil to jese bnd ho jaeya.
She cud saw dadi maa & Maan sitting on dining from stair case.Maan kept da newspaper down in which he was engrossed.Taking da last sip of his coffee he got up:aaj nhe marna,meri buht imptortant meetings hen. dadi maa left her dramatical tone,annoyed:fitte mun tumhara, mare mere dushman.jb tk apne 'pote,potia' nhi dekhungi men nhi jati kahen.
Unknowngly his eyes went up & caught her standng there.She was wearing simple blue salwar suit,her pink makeup & slightly wet hairs gvng her a luk of freshly blosom flower.He himself was surprised how few red bangles in her wrist & red colour in her mang sharpend her feminity. She luked away from her stylish dressed handsome husband.The look on her face was clear he was da last man on earth she wanted to saw.
As he tk steps to leave,dadi maa:khote ka peo,kal to dulhan aai he teri aaj kya zrurt he office jane ki?. . She yelled behnd him:men bhi yahi tumhara intezar kr rhi hun.party to hogi wo bhi grand party mene apni bahu ko sb se milvana hai.
Geet jumped hearing cheerful male voice behind her:Good morning beautiful. As she didnt accepted his handshake,Saleel joint his hands as Namaste:namaste bhabi jii. Getting Geet confused luk he gave her intro:men Saleel,Maan ka bestfriend,uska legal adviser. .yahen rehta hun.kal late aaya to aap se mil nhe ska. He added:itna bura mun mt bnaen.men uska dost zrur hun par by God uske jesa nhi hun. Geet surprised luk at him.He leand back wid stair case:men wo baki sb ff k friends ki trhan Maan ki side nhi lunga. wo bahir se hi nhi andar se bhi bura hai.ek no. ka kamena.dost k naam par dhba.khud to itni khubsurt ladki se shadi krli aur mujhe ladkyon k sath date tk krne se mana krta hai?
Instead of his cute admiration she asked:uske bestfriend ho?sb jante ho?phr bhi mujhe bhabi keh rhe ho? His smile went,he get her meaning.Ofcourse he knew in whch circumstances they had tied together. She took steps to downstair while he follow her:ok aap ko mere bhabi kehne se problem hai to men bilkul nhe kahunga. men aap ko Geet kahuna par ek shart. She luked at him.He extended his hand:friend? To her doubtful look he replied:Maan ko ek side par kr k dekho..aap indian men indian.aap ghar men new men ghar men old.aap bhi khubsurt men bhi khubsurt to hue naa friends. Honesty of his eyes & his childish behaviour succeded to stretchd her lips in smile.
In office
His head was resting on his comfy leather chair but his eyes were focused.Focused on a model of grand international hotel;his dream project.In da silence of his grand cabin his childhood convo wid his dad echoing around.His spell broke wid Wikram(Maan.Step-bro)
taunting voice:lagta hai sari raat jaage aur jgaya tbhi abhi neend puri kr rhe ho. Maan gritting his teeth:hzar baar kaha hai knock kr kr aaya kro,tumhe smjh nhe aati? Wikram ddnt gt effected by his angry tone.He casually roamed in his cabin:smjh to mujhe ye nhi aa rhi jb mom ko pta chlega k tum India se kya toufa laye ho to wo kese react krengi?unhe kesa lge ga jb unhe pta chlega unka smart intellignt beta jise Sukhvindar lal Handa Singh se apna haq chine k lye bheja tha wo unki ladli poti se shadi kr k aa gya. Wikram laughed:seriously Maan plx clear naa. tum ne sch men is shadi ko apni wo so called Meera behn k lye accept krlya. ya phir tumhara us doll ko torture krne ka plan hai Sukhvindar lal Handa se bdla lene k lye yaa phir tum sch men uske beauty k charm k aage dil har gaey? Maan controlng his anger:hogya?Now get out. Wikram:chlo,2 3 week k baad mom meetngs khtm kr k aa kr tum se khud he pouch lengi. Like always to irritate him he touch his project mode.Maan angrily got up:stay away. .How dare u? Wikram mockngly:come on earth dear. .agr hum apna sara buisness aur property bhi sell krden to bhi ye tumhara dream project pura nhi ho skta. Maan yelled:get lost.
The night wid moon brought lots of worry too for her.Her tried & weak body didnt wanted to open her eyes whole night lyk last night.But how cud sleep came near her when she was wid him under one roof?Instead of all da distance & problems between dm deir was a pull which always pulled her to him.His eyes..his voice..his muscular body and specialy his face she saw on her kiddnapping day when he had came to rescue her..those lines of him.But how could a steel man lyk him cud have a heart of gold?She shook her head..Saleel offered her to help her for getting separate room but dadi maa hopeful happy face & her expectations filled talk made Geet & Saleel quite.
Roaming uselessly around she went to their bedroom.Aware he had arrived 20 minutes before.On enterng inside she found her family photo frame in his hand.She tk it wid her as memory & emptyng her bag she placed it on bed side table.He hand changed in usuall jeans & T.Her wet hairs provng he just came out of shower.Maan :ye kya hai?
Geet :meri family photograph. Her eyes & mouth opened in shock as he cruely threw it on tiled floor.Her eyes filled wid tears as it scattred infront of her. He rudely:galti tumhari thi. Geet :apne room men apni family ki photo rkhne men kya galt hai? He snapped:ye tumhara room nhi hai,kyunke naa men tumhara hun aur na to tum meri biwi ho.yahan kuch bhi tumhara nhi hai,jese aai ho wese hi tumhe wapis jana hai.Sirf dadi maa ki vja se men tumhe yahan apne room men bardasht kr rha hun. She bent on her knees to picked her broken photo frame while he stood still showing his back to her.He instantly turned hearing her scream.
The tears she was controling before finally left her eyes when broken glass injured her palm.Soon her wrist covered in blood.He immediatly took tissues & went to her.But instead of da killing pain she got up & signaled him to stay away.Her soft cheeks had became wet wid tears.Her pulmp lips almost trembling in pain.His regret was clear in his eyes.He had no intension to hurt her atleast not in dis way.She left from their showing her innocent hatness toward him.
As it was midnight she dIdnt found any awake soul.Hugging her family pic she was sitting on lawn stairs alone.Between sobs she finally ask God luking up at sky:aap ne kyun kya mere sath aesa?mere sath aesa hua kyunke aap ne aesa likha tha?kehte hen jode aasmano men bnte hen..aap ne use mere lye bnaya? mene kbhi apni life men kuch nhi chaha sirf mohabbat mangi thi aap se..sirf mohabbat. Aur aap ne mujhe aese insaan k sath bandh dya jis men insanyt bhi nhi hai,jiske pass dil hi nhi. pta nhi ye chaar mahine kese guzre gen.
Faces of her mom & bro faded as she felt herself lifted up..on a cloud?No it was something hard.Her sleepy eyes snapped open feeling musky colonge.'oh my God' were da words left from her mouth when she found herself carried in his arms.Geet :ye kya kr rhe ho,mujhe neeche utaro. He angry signaled her to remain quite.She hit him on his chest instead of her sleepy state & weakness of her above injury.Maan gritted his teeth:dubara kya to yehi phenkh dunga. As he almost dropped her on bed she asked:tum pagal ho?ye kya kr rhe ho? Maan :aur tum jo kr rhi thi?is haal men raat ko bahr lawn men so kr?tum kya chahti ho dadi maa mera jeena haram krden? As he tk out bandage from aid box,she snapped:why the hell u care? Maan :jb tk yahan ho zinda rehna,men jail nhe jana chahta.after dt go to hell. She didnt protest anymore as he put ointmnt.After doing her bandage he luked at her.Warmth of bed & blanket had captured her senses.She was again in deep sleep. He rested her hand down slowly.He was not able to move his eyes from her beautiful face..For da 1st time he feel sometime only a sight could beat all da pleasures of world.Trance of her thoughts broke by her mumbling:i hate u..u monster. He raised his eyebrow:hate u too. A simple truth of their life! He left from there.
Feeling loving touch on her forehead she opened her eyes:gud morning dadi maa. She tried to gt up but dadi maa stopped:letti reh puttar teri tbyat thek nhi hai. Geet rested her back wid bed head:men theek hun dadi maa. dadi maa:ye tere hath par chot kesi lagi? She added wid anger:Maan ne to tujhe koi takleef nhi di na? Geet nodded in No.She hold her hand:putar mujhse kuch na chupana.men apne Maan se buht pyar krti hun.tere uski zindagi men aane se men buht khush hun par agr tujhe zra bhi takleef hui to men khud ko kbhi maaf nhe kr paungi. Saleel interuptd their convo wid enterng wid fresh roses:Gud morning beautiful ladies.. apni politics ka discusn aap log baad men krna abhi neeche table par chlo,meri bhook se jaan ja rhe hai. dadi maa got up,Mary their cook came inside wid soup bowl.dadi maa:ye sb nhe,meri bahu k lye parathe bnao. Mary gave her warm smile:but mam Maan sir orderd to gv mam soup 1st. Geet was surprised while Saleel teased:ab to soup hi pena parega. Marry:plx come dadi maa ji,i have to check ur blood pressure 1st. dadi maa:putar tu soup pee k neeche aaja. .
They left while Saleel sat om bed wid her:pta hai Maan men sb se bdi problem kya hai?usko apne feelings,emotions express krna nhi aata. .bs gussa dikhana bta hai. Geet :buht kareeb se jante ho apne dost ko? Saleel:ofcourse. Geet :to phir ye bhi jante hunge..wo mere daddu se itni nafrat kyun krta hai. Saleel became quite.Geet softly:agr nhi btana chahte to its ok. Saleel:kyun nhi btaunga?dost kaha hai to dosti k rule bhi nibhaunga. He started:Geet mere parents ki death bchpn men hogai thi.mere uncle yahan k gardener the.Rudr uncle ne mujhe yahan rkha,acha school,sb facilities di kyunke unka beta aesa chahta tha.Rudr uncle aur Maan buht zyada attach the.Mene Kumud aunty ko Rudr uncle k hute hue kbhi is ghar men nhi dekha.Maan ki mom,uski family sb uske dad the.I remember uncle use hr saal vcation men India bhejte the.wahan dadi maa,Meera sb k sath buht khush hota tha par usko ek hi shikayt thi uske dad us k sath kyun nhi jate.wo yehi kehte the wo nhi ja skte phir wo ek din gaey,jb Maan k grand father ki death ki news milli. Aur tumhare dadu ne unhe wapis krdya,naa to unhe apne dad ki shkal dekhne di last time aur naa hi apne bete ka faraz ada krne dya. Geet listend him in disbelief.While he continued:ye sadma uncle bardasht nhi kr ske.agle 24 ghante tk bhi wo zinda nhe reh paey.apne career k lye country chod k aana itna bda gunah to nhe tha? Geet argued:mere dadu aese nhi hai. wo itne berehm ho hi nhi skte.agr unhune aesa kya to zrur koi bdi wja hogi. Saleel:to wo bta kyun nhi dete?Ab tum btao in sb men Maan ki kya galti hai?jis ki ek hi pal men sari dunya chin jaey gi uska behaviour aesa hi hoga naa.Naa to wo apne dad ko bhul pata he aur naa hi us incident ko.aesa hi hai wo extreme nafrat,extreme mohabbat. par tumse ek request hai Geet ...tum dono ne alag hone ka to decide kr hi lya hai.men tumhe kisi unchahey rishte ko khud par force krne k lye nhi keh rha..par is destiny k faisle ko ek chance to dekr dekho. He ddnt let Geet spoke:fine..kuch aur nhi pr Maan ko apne daddu k dushman k torr pr nhi..sirf Maan k torr pr to dekh skti ho. chlo leave dis all, mujhe office k lye late ho rha hai.. aaj to tumhe bore honaa prega..pr promise Sunday ko hm sb ghumne chlenge. He left while Geet remain in deep thoughts.
He luked up from his laptop screen as she placed coffee mug infront of him.Geet softly:coffee hai..mujhe raat ko peene ki aadat hai..2 cup bnn gaii. He simply asked:is men zeharr hai Her soft face filled wid frown:idea burra nhi hai..pr men vidva nhi hona chahti. She sat infront of him on couch..broke da silence:aaj meri Meera se baat hui thi..tumhara pouch rhi ythi.usko phone krlena. He remain engaged in his work but asked:kya kehna hai? Geet :haan kehna to hai.. jo kuch bhi hua hai..galti kisio ki bhi ho..jo hona tha wo hogya.. mtlb She was nt getting proper words to discuss his and daddu delicate matter. He leaned back on his study chair,luked at hger sipping his coffe.The look he gave lyk she was gvng some kind of exam.Geet :i mean...mujhe jaana hi hai, aur jb tk sath rehna haihaan..acha nhi krskte to ek dusre k lye burra bhi na kren..we can behave Maan thoughtfully:behave?... u mean hum sath so skte hen?
He watched quietly as she instantly stood up,her cute nose frowned..her lips had unbelvble pout. Maan simply:aese kya dekh rhi ho..husband wife to aese hi behave krte hen..isnt it. Geet :u know.. u r impossible.tum hmesha aesi baaten kyun krte ho? Maan :tumhe dekh krr mujhe aese hi baatien aati hen. Geet irritated:tumse baat krna hi beekarr hai.
She went to bed and about to lay.Maan :excuse me. Geet :men yahi sungi..tium sofa pr soge...aese relation men aese hi behave krte hen. Maan :aur tumhe kyun lgta hai men sofa pr sounga?itna bhrossa Geet comforytbly lai:haan hai.. Maan :mt kro, bhrossa pyar ki pehli seeri hoti hai aur men nhi chahta tumhe mujhse pyar ho.
Her jaw dropped'how easily he always spoke da hardest things' Geet snapped:buht confidence hai. Maan whispered:confidence hi nhii hai.
She instantly luked away from his eyes..wose intensity always gv her gose bumps. . . After 1 hour, she pretended to sleep as he close his laptop and came to bed.Her heart was racing fast,She was just following Saleel advice,handlng him wid equal confidence.What if he realy?.. But she frozed in surprise as he pulled covers on her and went to couch.She slowly opened her eyes and found him on couch staring at his father pic.Her heart skip a beat as his lips stretched in smile,an innocent eyes reaching smile which can capture a heart widout a doubt...
PRECAP- She shut her eyes:tumhe sharam nhi aati? Maan :mujhe life men buht zruri kaam hen ..mujhe faltu cheeze nhi aati
