CHAPTER 83. MAANEET FINALLY GET TOGETHER!

Day - 8 Friday

Sheeshmahal

Geet smiled happily as she watched both her brothers pose in front of the camera with their wives. It was a perfect end to a perfect love story, she realised. When will my love story get its happy ending? Geet wondered despondently and then she frowned. Oye! Aaj mere Veere aur AB ki shaadi hui hai, main aaj udaas nahi ho sakti! She shook her head throwing all the negative thoughts out of the window. AB and Veere need me to be cheerful! She took in a sharp breath and focused on the stage where reception was still going on. But then she frowned. Why was Maan climbing the stage? Family members take their photo last in a reception generally. What is going on?

Geet hurried towards the stage and as she reached it, she saw Dev and NT standing nearby looking at the stage sadly. She scrambled towards them, "Kya hua? Aap log itne pareshaan kyun hai? Aur Maan kyun stage pe gaye?" Both husband wife duo looked at her and the sadness in their expression increased. Geet felt the dread consume her. That's when she remembered. Maan had decided to leave for Mumbai in the evening. She stumbled back in shock and then turned her eyes to the stage where Maan was hugging the brides and their grooms. No! No! He cannot go! Not when I know he loves me! And he knows I love him! She turned around and ran away from there.

Geet reached the main door of the house and stumbled out. She fell on her knees once she realised that she was out and no one was there to see her break down. Behind her Bollywood songs continued to blare from the house. She let out a painful cry but no one heard her as the music drowned her voice. Her cry turned into sobs as her eyes started to tear up. She sat there unable to fathom that Maan would actually leave her. She had thought that till now he would have changed his mind, especially after seeing Khushi and Arnav happily married but she seemed to have been wrong. She continued to sob for her broken heart and her love for a selfish man who would rather be scared and break her heart than take a chance with love.

Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi

Na Dhoop Chune Na Chhaon

Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi

Kaise Thor Tike Na Paaon

Geet tried to wipe her eyes but tears continued to flow down her face.

Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi

Na Dhoop Chune Na Chhaon

Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi

Kaise Thor Tike Na Paaon

She tried to pull herself together but she could not and tears continued down her cheeks.

Ban Liya Apna Paigambar

Tair Liya Tu Saat Samandar

Phir Bhi Sookha Man Ke Andar

Kyun Reh Gaya

Re Kabira Maan Ja

Inside Maan hugged Dev and NT and nodded as they advised him.

Re Fakeera Maan Ja

He then hugged Anjali and Shyam where Anjali scolded him for leaving and even teared up. He pressed a kiss on her head and walked away.

Aaja Tujhko Pukaare Teri Parchhaaiyyaan

Next was Daadima who kissed his forehead tearyeyed. Maan took her aashirwad and moved on.

Re Kabira Maan Ja

It was Naaniji and Maama Maami next who blessed him and Maamiji handed him an order of things she wanted from Mumbai. Maan had a good laugh at that.

Re Fakeera Maan Ja

Finally he met NK, Lavanya, Annie, Arjun, Amma and Buaji all who wished him well for the journey.

Kaisa Tu Hai Nirmohi Kaisa Harjaaiyaan

Then he looked around but frowned when he saw no glimpse of Geet. His heart clenched as he wondered how much pain he must have caused her for leaving. But he had to do this, for his sake and her sake. As he wandered to the main door, his family waved him off. He had ordered them not to see him off at the door as that would have been more painful. He looked around the hall as he walked remembering the moments he spent in the house with Geet. He remembered the dance in the hall, her flirting with him, her showing him the M' on her hands. He shook his head. There was no use dwelling on those memories. Just as he stepped out of the house, he froze in shock. Right in front of him stood Geet, staring at him, tears flowing down her cheeks. He felt the urge to hug her and never let her leave his arms. But he squashed his feelings. Maan was too stubborn to change his decision once he made his mind. He was doing the right thing and that's all he cared. He hardened his heart and walked past her. She grabbed his hand just as he passed away.

Tooti Chaarpaayi Wahi

Thandi Purvaayi Rasta Dekhe

"Mat jaao!", came her whisper.

Doodhon Ki Malai Wahi

Mitti Ki Suraahi Rasta Dekhe

"Mujhe jaana hoga! Yahi sahi hai!", Maan replied and tugged his hand away from her grip

Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi

Lab Namak Rame Na Misri

Geet turned around and looked on tearfully as he walked towards one of the cars parked in the driveway. He had planned to drive away himself.

Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi

Tujhe Preet Puraani Bisri

"Maan!", Geet whispered pleadingly but Maan continued to walk. His heart clenched in pain but he ignored it.

Mast Maula Mast Kalandar

Tu Hawa Ka Ek Bavandar

Bujhke Yun Andar Hi Andar

Kyun Reh Gaya

Re Kabira Maan Jaa

Geet watched as Maan walked away.

Re Fakeera Maan Jaa

Maan stood in front of his car, hesitant about taking the last step that would take him far away from Geet.

Aaja Tujhko Pukaare Teri Parchhaaiyyaan

Geet watched as Maan stood there. Hope bloomed in her heart that maybe Maan will change his decision.

Re Kabira Maan Jaa

Maan shook his head, opened the car and sat in swiftly.

Re Fakeera Maan Jaa

Geet's legs gave away as she fell down. He was leaving her; forever! She started to sob incoherently.

Kaisa Tu Hai Nirmohi Kaisa Harjaaiyaan

Maan drove off but just as he looked in his rear view mirror he saw Geet on her knees crying her eyes out. He ignored her as he drove off, not even realizing that even his own eyes were tearing up.

"Dev?", Maan asked as he drove to Lucknow Airport. It has been fifteen minutes since he left the Sheeshmahal. His phone rang with Dev as caller and he had just picked it up. Maan's eyes widened as Dev's panicked voice rushed in. "Dev? Dev Calm down! Take a deep breath! Ab mujhe bataao, hua kya?", Maan spoke in hurry and he straightened in alarm as he heard what Dev said. He swerved the car in 180 degrees without even a single thought towards his safety and drove off back to the Sheeshmahal with urgency in his every movement. "I am coming Dev!", Maan shouted as he broke all speed limits to reach the Haveli.

As Maan drove, Dev's words replayed in his mind, "Bro! Bro you have to come back! Woh... woh... Geet!..." Maan pressed hard on the accelerator pedal as Dev's remaining words resonated in his mind, "Geet has locked herself up in a room Bro! Darwaaza khol nahi rahi hai! Aur kehte hai ki apne aapko maar degi! Bro! Please come back! Only you can stop her from doing this! She is committing suicide Bro!"

Maan felt a chill go through his spine as Sheeshmahal loomed in front of him. He drove right upto the main door and then scrambled off the car and into the house as fast as he could. He stopped running when he noticed that nothing was amiss in the main hall. The reception was still ongoing. He looked around worriedly for Geet or Dev or any of the Khurana, Raizada clans but no one was around. With eyes filled with worry he looked towards the brides and their grooms and he noticed all four of them frantically waving towards him. They were waving him towards the stairs. He nodded and ran up the stairs where Shyam was standing.

Shyam spoke urgently as he led Maan ahead, "Geet ne apne aapko band karliya! Dekho! Darwaaza khol hi nahi rahi hai! Ab tumhi usse baat karo!" Maan nodded as they came face to face with NT, Dev, Annie, and Arjun who were standing right outside the door in which Geet had locked herself in. They pointed to the door and moved aside as Maan stepped towards the door.

"Geet!", Maan shouted, "GEET!" He roared as he knocked on the door. When there was no movement from inside, Maan felt his heart beat faster. What if he was late? What if Geet was already... NO! He started banging on the door, constantly shouting Geet's name. Suddenly, the door opened and Maan who was unprepared for it stumbled in. Just as he straightened up, the door behind him slammed back. He turned back with wide eyes. The door was closed! Yeh kya hua? Maan tried to open the door but it did not open. What is happening here? Did they lock me in?

"Woh darwaaza nahi khulne waala!", came a voice from behind and Maan whirled around to see Geet standing in the middle of the room with a smirk on her face. The room was a small one with many things stored in it. Maan realised that it was a storage room. There was only one window in the room but it was far above and seemed to be boarded shut. His attention went back to Geet who opened her mouth, "Aur woh darwaaza tab tak nahi khulega jab tak aap apne pyaar ka mujhse izhaar nahi karte!"

Maan frowned. What... And that is when the pieces clicked into place.

"Toh yeh sab naatak tha?", Maan roared, "Tum koi suicide vucide nahi kar rahi thi?"

Geet huffed, "Nahi! Main itni bhi kamzor nahi hun! Maan Singh Khurana ki honewaali biwi hun! Aise darke thodi haar maanungi?"

Maan ignored her last words and continued to think things through, "Aur Dev, NT, Arjun, Annie aur Shyam, sab ismein milein hue hain right?"

Geet chuckled, "Aap AD, AB, Veere, PB aur KB ko bhool gaye! Woh sab bhi shaamil the!"

Maan's eyes widened as he remembered the newlyweds waving at him from the stage frantically. Then his anger mounted as he realised that his best friend was also involved.

"Anjali bhi?", Maan growled, "Use main baahar jaake dekhlunga!"

"Haan Haan! Jab baahar chale jaayenge tab dekh lena! Lekin pehle baahar toh nikliye! Aur baahar nikalne ke liye aapko I Love You bolna padega! Chaliye! Jaldi jaldi I Love You boliye!"

"Kya?", Maan was looking at her as if she was crazy, "Tumhaare dimaag toh nahi kharaab hogaya hai?"

Geet shook her head, "Nahi!" and then she frowned, "Haan shaayad! Kyunki maine suna hai ki pyaar karne waale paagal hote hain! Toh shaayad mera dimaag kharaab hogaya hai!"

"Bakwaas band karo!", Maan hissed in annoyance, "Aur mujhe yahaan se nikalne ka rasta bataao!"

"Arre baba! Aap sunte nahi ho kya?", Geet pouted, "Yahaan se baahar nikalna hai toh I Love You bolo! Simple!"

"Nahi!", Maan spat, "Main tumhein kabhi I Love You nahi bolunga!"

Geet shrugged, "Theek hai! Toh baithe rahiye isi kamre mein!"

Maan looked away in anger. As he stood there glaring at the floor, he sensed some movement and looked up only to notice that Geet was lot closer suddenly.

"Yeh tum kya kar rahi ho?", Maan looked at her suspiciously. Geet looked at him with coy eyes, "Kuch nahi! Aapke paas aa rahi hun!"

"Nahi! Dur hato!", Maan looked at Geet with alarm as Geet continued to walk towards him. As he was already standing with his back resting against the wall, he could not even back away. Geet continued to walk towards him but now her expression was more of a predator. Maan gulped. He felt like a prey who was about to be pounced on. He thought about slipping to the side to avoid Geet but before he could move, Geet was upon him.

"Hello Maan!", Geet whispered seductively as she placed her arms around Maan's neck, her fingers brushing with the nape of his neck. Maan shivered at her touch, "G..Geet!", he stuttered.

"Haan Maan!", she whispered, her thumb brushing across his earlobe. Maan's breath hitched. He grabbed her hands and pulled them away from his face, but she simply let them rest on his chest and then let them slide down. "Geet!", Maan hissed as her hands reached his stomach. He grabbed both her hands trying to stop her but she simply came close to him until there was no gap left between them. Maan could feel his heart thud in his chest. His palms were getting sweaty and his control was threadbare. Her eyes looked at him seductively and Maan was doing everything he could to stop himself from pouncing on her and kissing the life out of her. His control was slipping though. Just then Geet made her next move!

Maan watched with wide eyes as Geet stood on her tip toes, her face very close to his, her lips an inch away from his. He was taking deep breaths now unable to control his body. He stared at her as her lips inched closer. His mind was lost in a haze and his heart and body had taken over. And both wanted one thing; Geet. He desperately waited for her lips to touch his, the way a water craving man felt at the sight of water. His body yearned for more of her touch, his heart craved for her love and his mind? Who cares about his mind!

Just as she was about to kiss him, Maan's brain inserted its authority and Maan felt horror at what was about to happen. He pushed Geet away roughly and shakily brushed his hair. What was he about to do? He looked at Geet but his eyes went subconsciously to her lips. Those traitors! He looked away annoyed at his own eyes for betraying him.

Geet once again stepped ahead and his whole body froze. He turned to look at her, his eyes reminding her of a deer caught in the headlights. She raised her hand and placed it on his cheek. He subconsciously leaned towards that side. "Dekha Maan!", Geet spoke softly, "Aapki aankhen, aapka chehra sab mere liye aise hi tadapte hain jaise main aapke liye! Toh phir kyun? Kyun yeh doori? Kyun ek duje ko iss tarah tadpaana jab hum saath rehke dard se koso dur rahein? Maan! Hum pyaar karte hain ek duje se! Koi gunaah nahi! Hum ek duje ke liye hi bane hain! Bas ek haan ki der hai! Phir humaari zindagi mein sirf khushiyaan hi khushiyaan hogi! Maan please samjho!"

Maan felt his heart melting at her words. Yes! They could do it! They could... But then he remembered the pain he felt when Soni left. No! I cannot do it! No! NO! He pushed Geet's hand away. He grabbed her by her arms and shook her, "Kyun? Kyun nahi samajh rahi ho tum?", he roared in anger, "I don't love you! I don't want you! You mean nothing to me! Tumhaari meri zindagi mein koi ehmiyat nahi! Aur tumhaare liye koi jagah nahi! Tum mar bhi jaao toh mujhe koi farak nahi! Jaan dena chaahti ho? Dedo! Mujhe koi farak nahi padta! KOI FARAK NAHI! SAMJHI?"

Maan pushed her back and stumbling backwards Geet fell onto the floor. She looked down as her heart broke once again. Tears started to well in her eyes when she took a deep breath. No! Enough is enough! Aaj toh inhein mere pyaar ko apnaana hi hoga! Bas hogaya yeh drama! Sacrifice my foot! Inki sacrifice ki aisi ki taisi! With a huff, she stood up. She turned around and glared at man.

"So", Geet started perfectly calm as if she was discussing the weather casually, "You want me to move on from you?"

Maan who was looking away turned towards her. He was shocked to see how calm she actually was.

"Jawaab deejiye!", Geet calmly prodded him, "Aap chaahte hain ki main aapko bhool jaaun?"

Why was Maan feeling that this was a trap? But he ignored the feeling and nodded sharply.

"Ok!", Geet spoke and looked thoughtful.

Maan frowned. This was not the response he expected from her? Where was denial, the rage, the crying and the final defeat? This was calm, too calm for his tastes. Geet blew out a breath and settled herself on a chair nearby looking too much like ASR for Maan to be comfortable with. She smirked at him and he felt a sense of foreboding.

"So you don't mind agar mujhe koi aur pasand aajaaye?", Geet asked him still being casual. Maan just stared at her, "Nahi! Mujhe koi farak nahi padta!"

"Sachchi?", Geet asked innocently and Maan nodded. Even though he said he did not care, an image of Geet in the arms of a faceless man flashed in his head and he felt his breath hitch. I do not care, he reminded himself but the image refused to move from the front of his eyes.

"So agar kal aapko khabar mile ki koi ladka mujhe pasand karta hai, mujhse shaadi karna chaahta hai...", Geet stood up and folded her arms against her chest, "Toh aapko koi farak nahi padega?"

"Nahi", Maan growled but an image of a faceless man kneeling in front of Geet proposing her flashed in front of him and he clenched his fists. I don't care remember? He told himself but that did not stop his anger from rising at the thought of another man proposing his Geet. As his anger started to build he did not notice Geet starting to walk closer to him.

"Achcha? Toh agar meri kal sagaai hui, shaadi hui toh aapko koi problem nahi hoga?", Geet asked as she came in touching distance with him. Maan was about to say no when the image of Geet and the faceless man flashed in front of his eyes. He watched as the image turned into a film, a film depicting Geet and the faceless man getting engaged. Then it was the day of marriage where Geet and the man did the saat phere. He watched with horror as the man filled sindoor on her forehead and tied mangalsutr around her neck. No! No! NO! He could not watch it. He looked away trying to dispel the memory. His hands still clenched with his nails digging into his palms, his teeth grinding against each other, his heart racing in fear, his eyes filled with horror, Maan was unable to cope with what he was seeing.

Geet noticed his reaction and tried everything to stop herself from grinning like an idiot. Any moment! Any moment Maan will break! She just had to keep pushing. With an innocent look on her face, she continued, "Phir main aur woh honeymoon pe jaayenge! By the way what do you think? Mauritius honeymoon ke liye achcha hai ya Maldives?"

"GEEET!", Maan roared as he grabbed her arms and pulled her close. He pulled her so close that she could feel his breath on her face. When Maan spoke next, his voice seemed deadly calm but Geet felt the turmoil behind it, "Tum meri ho! Samjhi? Tum kabhi kisi aur ki nahi ho sakti! Kabhi nahi! SAMJHI?"

Maan pulled his hands off Geet and looked away, his body language screaming anger, his eyes wild in rage. He took deep breaths trying to calm himself when Geet spoke, "Main toh kab ki samajh gayi Maan! Bas aapke samajhne ki der thi!"

Geet hugged Maan from behind. Maan looked sideways and spoke up with pain in his voice, "Geet!"

Geet looked up from where she had placed her head on his shoulder, "Aap mujhse pyaar karte hain, haina?"

Unable to say anything, Maan nodded.

"Phir kyun yeh sab?", Geet pulling away from him, turned him around and grabbed him by his collar., "Kyun Maan? Kyun?"

Maan shrugged, "Dar gaya tha! Tum mujhe phir se chodke chali gayi toh?"

"Bewakoof insaan!", Geet huffed, "Itni aasaani se nahi peecha chootne waala! Aapko bhoolke bhi phirse aapse hi pyaar kar baithi hun, itna kaafi nahi hai saboot, mere pyaar ki! ", Geet pouted and Maan chuckled. He pulled her close and hugged her tightly.

"I love you! I love you Geet!", Maan whispered, "Tum jeet gayi! Main haar gaya! Lo! Main maanta hun that I Love You!"

Geet rolled her eyes, "Galat Maan! Aapka darr haar gaya aur humaara pyaar jeet gaya!"

Geet pulled away from the hug and looked at him with worry, "Ab toh aapki nautanki khatam na? Ya phir se thode der baad shuru ho jaayenge! Ki Geet mujhe bhool jaao! Main jaa raha hoon!", Geet said in a bad imitation of Maan.

Maan pulled her into a hug again, "Ab toh main tumhein kabhi chodke nahi jaaunga! Aur agar mujhe kahi jaana pada toh tumhein saath mein le jaaunga!"

"Maan!", Geet started to tear up as she realised that her struggle was over. Her fight against him was over! Now the happy times were ahead! Both hugged each other happily neither of them noticing that the only window in the room opened a little from outside.

"Haaye! Dono saath mein kitne pyaare lag rahe hain!", Anjali gushed as she looked at the lovebirds hugging each other.

"I know!, Annie sighed dreamily, "They are so adorable!"

Shyam, who was standing behind his wife, shook his head, "You hopeless romantics!"

"Oh please! Shyamji!", NT huffed, "Don't forget ki aap bhi iss plan mein shaamil the! So you have no right to taunt us!"

"Look at them! Unko pata bhi nahi ki darwaza khul chukka and they can go out!", Arjun chuckled.

"I don't think they care about the locked door right now!" Dev mumbled.

"Hey guys! Did it work?", came another excited voice and all turned to see Arnav excitedly looking at them while holding Khushi's hand. Khushi was holding her lehenga in her other hand to make sure she did not trip on them. Anjali nodded and grinned. Khushi grinned too, "Humaari Geet parjaayiji!", she giggled

"Meri Geetto ki shaadi hogi!", Aakash arrived on the scene looking a bit emotional, dragging his wife with him. Paayal shook her head amusedly at the sad face her husband was making.

All ten of them looked eagerly into the room where the lovebirds continued to hug each other. Suddenly, Anjali gasped and turned to look at the newlyweds with wide eyes, "Tum chaaron yahaan kya kar rahe ho? Tumhaara toh reception chaalu hai!"

Both the grooms looked sheepish, "Sorry! We had to know if our plan worked or not!", Arnav spoke. "Toh hum stage chodke aa gaye!", Aakash finished the explanation.

"Stage chodke aagaye?", Anjali screeched as she looked at them horrified.

"Shhh!", everyone around her ordered and she winced. Anjali looked back but the lovebirds did not even notice her. She looked back and glared at the four newlyweds, "Khade kya ho? Jaao! Stage pe jaao! Log kya sochenge khaali stage dekhke? Jaao!"

She shooed them off and the grooms dragged their brides away not wanting to incur the wrath of Anjali.

"Ab tum sab kya dekh rahe ho?", Anjali huffed as she looked at them, "Chalo! Dono ko akela chod do! Chalo!" All of them walked away but not before giving Maan and Geet another glance. Yes! There was definitely going to be another wedding pretty soon!
