A Beautiful Encounter
He concentrated on the task ahead but as he headed towards that particular direction, he saw the owner of the melodious voice, she was dressed in a white Saree playing near the river bed. "Nahi Maan, smaran (remember) karo Gurudev ki seekh, striyon (women) se dur rehna hai, He said walking ahead. He collected all the herbs that the sage had asked him to get and was walking back, he heard someone and then turned to find that girl he saw before standing there. Her beautiful face showed signs of pain, and then he looked at her feet, she had been pricked by a thorn.

"Suniye, kya aap humari madad kar sakte hain, He heard her speak. He was going to take a step towards her but took two steps back and ran away. "Ajeeb hain, chal Geet lag jaa kaam par Saying this she sat on a rock and praying to God closed her eyes tightly and took the thorn out. She tried to get up and then went to the village. After a lot of attempts she was successful and went down to her house. As soon as she entered her sister looked at her feet and called their mother, their mom rushed out to see her daughter injured, "Ye kaise hua, Her mother asked. "Kuch nahi Maa main baba ke liye jadi bootiyan (medicinal herbs) laa rahi thi tab chot lag gayi, Geet said. "Beta mujhe dekhne do, Her mother said. "Maa main theek hoon, Saying this she rushed to her room. She thought about the weird stranger who did not even helped her.
Maan felt bad for running away like that so went back to check on her but she had left by then, he had completed his task so headed back. The sage was happy with Maan and Aditya's progress but Yash only bought grass instead of herbs so he asked him to redo his task. They were having dinner when Maan again heard that melodious voice, "Guruji, baba ne ye aap ke liye bheji hain. He looked up to see the same mysterious girl he encountered today and to his bad luck she recognized him too as her beautiful hazels turned angry, "To aap yahan rehte hain.

"Kya hua beti , The sage asked. "Guruji , inhone meri madad nahi ki jab subah maine inse poocha, ulta ye to bhag khade hue jaise main koi bhoot hoon , Geet pouted. "Geet, beti wo bas meri aagya (orders) ka paalan (follow) kar raha tha, maine hi unhe subah seekh di thi ki striyon (women) se door rahein, The sage smiled. "Guruji, par kisi ki madad karna bhi to humara kartavya (duty) hai, usmein stri (woman) aur purush (man) se kya lena dena, Geet asked. The sage smiled, "Geet, beti main aaj hi se inse tumhari madad karne ke liye keh deta hoon balki abhi se. Saying this he looked at Maan who had completed his diner, "Maan, putra (son), beti ko inke ghar chod aaiye , der ho gayi hai. "Ji Guruji, He said getting up. "Chaliye Devi, Maan said. "Devi , koun devi , mera naam Geet hai aap wo hi bulaiye, She said. The sage smiled, "Beta wo tumse aadar (respect) se baat kar raha tha. "Ohh,, She apologized. "Mujhe Geet bulaiye, ye devi wagera nahi, She pouted. "Geet ji, chaliye, Maan said.
They walked towards her house, the mountains looked more pretty in the moonlight. "Aapka ghar kahan hai,Maan asked. "Aapko nahi lagta ki aap kuch bhool rahe hain, She said looking at him. "Ji, Maan was confused.
"Aapne mujh se abhi tak shama (forgiveness) nahi mangi, Geet pouted. "Geet ji mujhe shama kar dijiye, main wapas aaya tha par aap ja chuki thi, Maan defended himself. "Hahaha, aap to sach much mein shama(forgiveness) maangne lage main to mazak kar rahi thi, She laughed.
Her musical laughter rang in his ears, she looked like beautiful fairy with the white saree and the silver ornaments she wore making her look even more divine.He could compare her to the moonlight illuminating a beautiful forest. "Chaliye main aap ko raasta dikhati hoon, She giggled leading the way.
Maan was going to step on something when she stopped him, "Are rukiye, dekh ke chaliye, ye paudhe (herbs) thode zehreele (poisonous) hain, inse humesha door rahiye, aapko abhi bhi shiksha (knowledge) ki bahut zarurat hai, Geet said. "Aap yahan kitne din se aaye hain, Geet asked.
"Mujhe aaye bas do din hue hain, main Delhi se aaya hoon, Gurudev se shiksha lene, He told. "Acha tabhi aap abhi nahi jaante yahan ke ped (tress) paudhon (herbs) ke baare mein, Guruji aapko sabka gyan (knowledge) denge. Guruji humare gaon ke sabse siddhh (holy) purush (man) hain. Aapke mata pita ne acha kiya aapko inki sharan (guidance) mein bhej ke, She said. Maan thought he should not tell her that he ran away from his house so he kept mum.
After walking a little more they reached a cottage, "Mera ghar to aa gaya, dhanyavad, (thank you) par agli baar se yaad rahe madad sabki kariye stri (woman) ho ya purush, aapke Guruji us se rusht (angry) nahi honge, She giggled. Maan watched as she disappeared in her house. He smiled walking back to the Aashram .
On the other side, Dadima was fuming and thinking of ways to get that idiot grandson of hers back and worrying about her younger one too. Then she got a call and grinned, "Oh yes, I forgot about them, time to ask them for help. "Dadima, what happened, Dev asked. "Nothing dear, I have thought of something to make your stupid brother come back and with the bride of my choice, She grinned devilishly making Dev scratch his head in confusion. He has got one crazy family he concluded. He left to his room to complete his homework while Dadima dialed a number, "Hello, ji namaste, hum Savitri Khurana bol rahe hain...haan, haan wohi ...ji humein aapki madad chahiye thi ...hum aapki beti se apne pote ka vivah karna chahte hain... She talked for a few minutes and then disconnecting the call grinned,Let's see how you escape now my dear Grandson. If you are trying to be a Vishwamitra then I have to get a Menaka for you to get you out of that life.
