CHAPTER 9. LAG JAA GALE...!

Half hour after the dance ended, Maan was found talking to some of his clients. Suddenly, he heard his wife call him from behind. He turned around and smiled at her. She came close and he hugged her sideways. One of his clients congratulated on finding such a beautiful wife and Maan thanked him as he looked at his wife. Geet grinned at him and Maan could not stop himself from smiling back.

"Maan! Actually mujhe aapse kuch kehna hai! I am tired. Main upar jaa rahi hun kamre mein! Aap party khatam hote hi upar aa jaayiye!", Get informed Maan. Maan frowned, "Sab theek haina?"

"Bhabhiji itni jaldi...", another client spoke up and Geet smiled, "Haan! Woh... City girl nahi hun, toh aisi parties ki aadat nahi hai! Isliye feeling a little tired!" The client bought her excuse and rest of the people in the group nodded, understanding her situation.

Once again the clients congratulated Geet and she excused herself. But Maan did not buy her excuse. There was something else he realised. As she walked away, he grabbed her arm. She turned and smiled curiously. He pulled her close and whispered, "Are you alright?" Geet nodded. "Toh phir kyun?", Maan whispered again. Geet smiled at him and then standing on her tiptoes, she whispered into his ear, "Kal humaari suhaag raat nahi hui Maan!" She pulled back and looked into his eyes hoping he understood her words. But when Maan remained confused, she again stood on her tiptoes and whispered, "Toh main room mein jaldi jaa rahi hun! Use ready karne ke liye!" She pulled back and noticed Maan's wide eyes, "Jaldi aayiyega! I am waiting for you!" She gave him a sultry look and walked off. Maan watched her walk away with shocked eyes and then slowly a grin spread on his face. Years passed but Daadima still could not understand why Maan cut short the reception party and ended it before it even struck 11 PM.

Maan entered his room and felt his breath taken away. The whole room was decorated just the way it was on their wedding night. He smiled softly as he sat on the bed and softly fingered the rose petals strewn on it. His eyes went to the shaadi ka joda that Geet wore on the wedding day and he frowned. It was left on the bed still in its folded form. Maan realised that Geet must have been planning to wear it, but must have changed the plan. His eyes went to the side table and he felt relieved that there was no knife there today. It may have been a prank, but the fear of being accidently stabbed was still there.

Maan looked up and felt awed as outside on the balcony his wife basked in the moonlight while leaning on the parapet. Dressed in the same Saree she wore for the party, Maan felt his heart skip a beat as the moonlight shone on her face. She looked ethereal, Maan realised. He got up and walked towards her. She had yet to notice him as she observed the moon. As he neared the balcony door, he heard her sing. He smiled softly, the song lifting his heart.

Lag Ja Gale

Ke Phir Yeh Haseen Raat

Ho Na Ho

Maan leaned on the doorway while folding his arms against chest, observing his wife quietly.

Shaayad Phir Iss Janam Mein

Mulaqat Ho Na Ho

Lag Ja Gale...

Geet turned around and noticed him. She smiled widely and stepped towards him.

Humko Mili Hai Aaj Yeh

Ghadiyaan Naseeb Se

She reached him and cupped his face with her hand. He straightened up at her touch.

Jee Bharke Dekh Leejiye

Humko Kareeb Se

She dropped her hand and stepped back.

Phir Aapke

Naseeb Mein Yeh Baat

Ho Na Ho

Maan grabbed her hand and she stopped.

Shaayad Phir Iss Janam Mein

Mulaqat

Ho Na Ho

Lag Ja Gale...

She stepped closer again as his arms snaked around her waist.

Paas Aayiye Ke Hum Nahin

Aayenge Baar Baar

She placed her head on his chest as they hugged each other tightly.

Baahein Gale Mein Daal Ke

Hum Ro Lein Zaar Zaar

She pulled away and they smiled at each other.

Aankhon Se Phir

Yeh Pyaar Ki Barsaat

Ho Na Ho

He placed a kiss on her forehead.

Shaayad Phir Iss Janam Mein

Mulaqat

Ho Na Ho

Maan blinked and was shocked to see himself still leaning on the doorway while Geet stood by the parapet.

Lag Ja Gale

Ke Phir Yeh Haseen Raat

Ho Na Ho

Maan chuckled as he realised he was day dreaming.

Shaayad Phir Iss Janam Mein

Mulaqat

Ho Na Ho

Lag Ja Gale...

Geet turned around and Maan straightened up. He gave her a smile but his smile vanished when Geet's eyes widened and she turned pale.

"Geet!", Maan whispered but was horrified to see anger bloom on her face. He felt dread pool at the bottom of his stomach and before Geet opened her mouth, Maan knew that the night which was dream-like from the evening till now would soon turn into a nightmare.

"Kaun ho tum?", Geet asked and Maan with dread spoke up, "Geet!", his voice pleading as he hoped what he was seeing was not coming true.

"KAUN HO TUM?", Geet screamed and Maan stumbled back at the force.

What is going on here? He wondered. As he stared at his wife, his anger started bubbling up. How dare she! How dare she play this game again with me? How dare she! Kal tumne yeh prank kar liya par aaj nahi! Bas bahut hogaya!

"ENOUGH!", Maan roared and the girl shrunk into herself. Maan ignored her reaction and stormed towards her, "BAS! BAHUT HOGAYA! Kal tumne yeh khel khela, main chup chaap sehta raha! Chaaku dikhaaya! Thappad maara! Main chup raha! LEKIN AAJ NAHI! Mazaak ki ek hadd hoti hai Geet! Ek hadd! Aur tum woh hadd paar kar rahi ho Geet! Tum woh hadd paar kar rahi ho! SAMJHI?"

Maan grabbed Geet by her arms and shook her, "SAMJHI?"

Geet stared at him with wide eyes. Her face had paled while tears fell down her cheeks.

Maan continued to glare at her, "Aur rahi baat main kaun ho iss baat ki? Toh main tumhein bataa dun ki main tumhaara pati hun! Samjhi? Pati!"

Suddenly, Geet pulled her hands away and pushed him back. Maan stumbled a little and looked at her in shock.

"Pati?", Geet spat in disgust, "Mera koi pati nahi! Sun rahe ho aap! Aap mere kuch nahi! Hum dono ke beech koi rishta nahi! KOI RISHTA NAHI!"

"Kya?", Maan looked aghast, "Toh woh saat phere kya the? Woh sindoor, woh mangalsutr, kya inke koi maayne nahi?"

"Saat phere? Sindoor? Mangalsutr?", Geet asked and then gave a laugh that chilled Maan to the core. Geet continued, "Jo shaadi zabardasti se hui ho, uss shaadi ki meri zindagi mein koi jagah nahi! Na main aapki patni hun aur na aap mere pati! Hum dono ka rishta kuch nahi hai!"

Maan stumbled back again at her words, his heart shattered into pieces. She was forced into this marriage. She was forced! Maan was so shocked by what she said that he forgot what happened the whole day. He forgot how Geet had flirted with him the whole day, he forgot how Geet had danced with him in the evening, he forgot the bed decorated by Geet and he forgot that his Geet can never be forced to do something she never liked! Her words had hurt him so much that he saw nothing further than the hurt he felt. All he could sense was the hurt and pain and in front of his emotions, his logic took the backseat.

"Toh theek hai!", he spoke, his voice low and shaky. He collected himself and put on the mask that world knew as MSK, the business tycoon. His eyes stopped showing emotions and walls got built around his heart. His face gave no expressions and his voice became sharp, "Aaj se main tumhaare saath koi sambandh nahi rakhunga! Duniya ke saamne hum pati patni honge! Lekin akele mein tum meri kuch nahi ho, main tumhaara kuch nahi!"

Saying his piece, Maan stormed into his room, grabbed his night clothes and retreated to the adjacent room. He saw her standing in the balcony from the other room and covered the glass door with curtains. He did not want to see her face, he decided. Fuming in anger and hurt, Maan lied down on the bed and got ready for a sleepless night.

Hi folks!

Did you like the update?

I know it was short but what to do! Next part deserves its own update!

The song is from Woh Kaun Thi (1964) and is sung by Lata Mangeshkarji.

By the way, one of you asked me in review that why did Maan not ask Geet about knife or the slap? And I realised that rest of you must have thought the same too! So here is my answer!

You see, he does wonder at the start about it. He does think isn't knife and slap a bit too much! But before he could ask Geet, Daadima talks about the party! And his fear that the press will eat Geet alive pushes the incident of the last night to the back of his mind. Plus, after that he does not get time to even talk to Geet. The first time they romance, Daadima interrupts. And after that, Geet had to get ready so they could discuss only Maan's fear.

Also, lets not forget that Maan loves Geet too much. I mean he used to day dream about her, sing songs for her, he was her deewana! So him forgiving her and forgetting about slap and knife is not out of character in this story! Other stories? Maybe! But in this one, he is ready to forgive and forget anything as far as Geet is concerned. But as you can see, even he has his limits and today when the limit was broken, even he fought back!

Next update, I will be back with another twist to this tale!

Thank you, take care and have fun,

Kalpana
