Thank you for your note

Will be waiting for your updated

UPDATING in few hours. 😊

I am sorry again for the delay dearies..my daughter wasn't well..she got some wheezing problem due to change of climate here.

I will be giving continuous updates henceforth... going to post part 23 now and within a day or two, shall update part 24.

coming to the technical side, I still have so many issues posting here in this new IF... I have raised my concernes to Vijay and team but there has been no reply yet...my concern has been the following...one can understand only when you experiment what I am saying...its highly irritating...

• difficulty in giving long updates
• we are left with only one font style and 24 colors and 3 font sizes...its really not done 😒
  
• it was so easy and fine to type in MS word and paste it here but when I am doing the same now, its erasing all the formats...
  
• we can send only 20 PMs at a time...I have a huge list of friends...I need to sort it out and need to make a fresh PM list. and will post how I am going to go about it in my personal thread in few days time.
  

I am here in IF only for the sake of my strong bonding with the members here..and that's the reason I am not deciding to quit IF... I really wish IF team takes our concerns seriously and sorts the issues out.

Here goes the update after long time...I am really sorry for the delays dearie...please read my notes above and previous pages...

before reading this part...please take these points to your list of notes:

Many of you have raised concerns about the distance between Maaneet here.. please note that this story is all about it and challenges that leads to their reunion...

secondly, I have been getting shockers that its been too long and Geet has to forgive Maan...PLEASE...story wise, its just 2 days since Maan has come to see Geet in HP and here he has realised that GEET is none other than his PARI...and GEET's point of view, all she has gone thro in one year is really way too much and it cannot be sorted within one talk... and from a writer's point of view, this will not happen in next 5-6 parts...but I promise to deliver what I must deliver for this story...I request you all to leave the ball in the writer's court..that is ME...

Thirdly, Each and Every MU will get sorted out one by one... and once again, please trust my work...

______________

(Many editing and spelling mistakes in this part...will check and correct one by one) will do the font coloring part later)

PART 23

Maan and Geet look at both Armaan-Ridzy getting into a heated argument... Even though all the facts what Ridzy is outlining hurts Geet too.. but GEET still speaks up … PLEASE STOP!!

There's a sudden pin drop silence and Maan, Ridzy and Armaan turn to look at Geet. Geet got up from her bed suddenly and holds on to her head as she still gets mild giddiness. Maan, Armaan and Ridzy rush to her..but she choose to hold on to Ridzy instead of Maan's and this hurt him somehow...but sighs she is taking someone's help.

Ridzy helps Geet settle down back to bed...Geet..please don't keep jumping out of bed like this... Ridzy sits next to her and Maan sit beside her on the other side of the bed...but Geet doesn't glance at him back..what's the point? From Geet's POV, There's absolutely no signs of positivity in her married life...and soon she will walk out of this relationship and Maan will settle down in his new life with his PARI... This is my fate...but I will never allow Ridzy's life getting swirled in this whirlpool of my life.

Armaan: Are you ok Geet? He corrects himself .. Bhabhi ?

Geet couldn't relate herself to the last word...feeling somewhat odd with such a sudden change in her relationships surrounding her.

Geet: I am fine Armaan...don't worry...I feel mild giddiness when I get up...it's just a temporary thing I guess.

A: Please be cautious and don't take unnecessary stress

G: Hmm...thank you for your concern.

Armaan glances at Ridzy but she is now avoiding looking at him. Geet looks at both and she is not liking this kiddish behavior of Ridzy towards Armaan. Geet visually signals Armaan and he understood that both Girls need to talk and clear out some misconceptions.

A: Let me have a talk with Dr. Sarita once she is done with her call with that Delhi Doctor.

He moves to Maan and drags him out as well.

Maan: Armaan why are you dragging me?

Armaan Murmurs to Maan whilst making a move out of the room...Bro...woh Geet ...I mean Bhabi signaled me...I guess both girls need some time lets leave them alone...by the way, I need to talk to you alone as well.

Maan feeling silly possessiveness...why she didn't give me this signal? She was trusting Prem...and now Armaan....but not me?... Ooh ...not fair... 😕

Geet takes a sigh of relief with Armaan moving out of the room and that too taking Maan along.

She looks up and complains to her babaji cutely... Babaji...yeh Armaan ko mera Devar kyon banadiya? Ab main kya karoon? (Why did you choose Armaan as my Brother – in – law? What shall I do now?) Now, please tell me how to handle this sensitive situation?

Geet slowly glances at Ridzy and gently cups her face...what's up to you Ridzy? Were you even thinking before you were talking?

Ridzy is really not able to understand what to say. If Geet's mindset is strong for her family members then she would never take even a single word against her husband... still Ridzy couldn't help in reacting in this way as she was out of her mind for sometime.

G: Now, can you please explain me what was that? What's going on in your mind? Do you even realise what are you talking?

R: Geet...please listen to me...

G: You are also questioning Armaan's intentions? What is his mistake?

Ridzy holds Geet's hand with her teary eyes...I am sorry Geet..I didn't intend to hurt your feelings or insult Maan jiju by any means...

Geet responds to her hold positively and wipes Ridzy's tears .. Please don't ever mention that ok..I know YOU more than Yourself...you can never ever hurt me or anything or anyone related to me... now tell me..What's bothering you?..please open up with me.

R: This is what exactly I want to ask you Geet. What's actually bothering you?

Geet's hold on Ridzy loosens...

R: I have been noticing you since the time you are back from Delhi. I don't see any sign of a happy married woman... Kuch tho hain jo tum mujh se chuparahi ho (I'm sure There's something which you are hiding from me)

Geet lost in the bitter memories of last one year but still nods for a NO.

R: GEET.. you can lie but the true soul and spirit in you expresses your true self....see yourself in the mirror, you are completely changed into a different person now....I could clearly make out there's something bothering you. It seems Your paternal family has just got you married to Maan for name sake and they haven't given you the actual rights and respect which they are suppose to give you as a daughter in law of the family.

Actually Ridzy is speaking a harsh truth. Maan's Daadi has been a gem of a person and she treated Geet as her own grand daughter. Coming to Prem and Annie (till the time that vikram's incident happend) have welcomed her with open heart as part of Khurana family but all of these aspects are nullified when her husband has not considered her as part of his life. Geet is in such a fix as she cannot voice it out and at the same time she has to disapprove what ever Ridzy says.

G: What are you saying Ridzy? Please don't assume things. it's MY FAMILY... Maan's Daadi has given me all the due respect that I deserve. She considers me as important part of the family.

R: What about Maan Jiju?

Geet doesn't know how to put forth as Ridzy is very sharp in reading between lines..Geet holds her hand and talks further...when I say MY FAMILY...that also includes Maan isnt it?

R: Then, why he didn't even share about this marriage with near and dear ones?

G: BECAUSE I REQUESTED HIM NOT TO DO SO... And out comes another LIE from her lips...She tells it in a stern voice and in one go and tries to compose herself. At the same time, Ridzy is completely taken back.

R: What...what did you say?

She bites her lower lips within and closes her eyes..remembering all what happened in this one year...firstly, this marriage is a forced relationship as per Maan. Forget about valuing it, it was so very obvious that he wants to erase that marriage chapter out of his life and amidst this mindset where will he share this news with anyone? Moreover, he already gave his love, heart and soul to his lady love, his PARI...Geet can never forget the spark in his eyes when she got him rest in the guest house and he mistook her as his PARI. YES...only PARI can get his love and she holds no space in his life what so ever...this is the ugly truth of her married life...But still for the sake of her family pride and now, she also needs to take Ridzy-Armaan's relationship into consideration. They truly love each other and Geet can never witness their bonding be harmed with her own loveless fate ...she has to ensure that there is no clash in Ridzy-Armaan's relationship. She has no choice apart from telling this lie...yes...the art of lying which she has mastered in this one year.

G: Yes Ridzy...I had requested Maan to not share about our marriage and that's what I felt best suit's the situation at that point of time.

Ridzy is put into a sudden silence now..To that matter Geet really wishes even she remains silent but she has to speak..and she can speak only lie..

R: But why Geet?

G: I needed time to accept and give into this relationship.

R: GEET...? What ? You havent accepted this relationship? NO WAYS...I don't believe it ...it's a lie.

G: You have to believe it.

R: I CAN'T GEET ..you don't remember but I do remember what was your opinion about marriage and your new life after that... your debate about Arrange Marriages – family values...and you trust that your family will always source ideal match for you......and how wonderfully you argued about it. When the opposite contestant mocked at you that these all sound good for an argument sake but the true life is when you practically experience it, And I recall how you answered her back and you won a big applause and also your team won that group discussion...do you remember what you told that day?

Geet rolls her eyes and avoids looking at Ridzy now...

Ridzy rests her hands on Geet's shoulders...you were mentally prepared to get into a relationship that will be arranged by your elders and come what may, you will make sure to lead a happy and understanding relationship with your husband and your paternal family is your true family...and what not. It was not mere a group discussion for you. It was your opinion, feelings, that came straight from your heart.

Geet takes a sigh listening to all what Ridzy says...She had this true aim to give her life and soul to the person who will hold her hand for ever...but could have achieved her marital goals only when her husband would have walked equal steps with her...but it didn't happen. How she wished to get one chance from Maan...atleast to spend some time together and understand each other...but how can she even expect it when he simply hates her. Ironically she is still keeping up her promise and following all what her husband's wish to stay away and she is doing so...but how can she tell all this to Ridzy? Does Ridzy have a mindset to take it positively?

G: it's so very true Ridzy. I still have same determinations..but..but I am still not able follow the flow of my married life.

R: Geet... you still have it and you are still following it. You are simply lying for the obvious reasons.

G: No ...it's not true...believe me I have been the main reason for keeping this relationship under the wraps. because I came face to face with the realities of life after marriage and couldn't easily accept the sudden drastic changes in and around me… especially for me where my marriage happened in a hush and hurry. That's why I had requested some time from Maan to settle down in this new relationship.

Ridzy is still not able to believe what Geet is saying. Geet..if you couldn't adjust in your married life then, I would bet that no girl can ever adjust.

Geet smiles at Ridzy's statement as this is something even Nandini had told her in the morning. That's the impression Maan and Geet have created among the peers but the reality is completely contradicting....And time and again, she has to maintain that self respect in front of Ridzy

G: Ridzy, before being a girl, I am a human.. and as a human, my reactions can be justified as my fate changed overnight... and no human can be prepared to give in to such sudden changes.

R: You were so well prepared for an arranged marriage...were'nt you?

G: YES...I don't deny that...I didn't mind arrange marriage where atleast I get some time to understand my would be husband before marriage... but mine was a sudden marriage...It was fixed by the elders in the last minute in that hospital where my daadi was admitted... around such circumstances where I was so depressed with my Daadi's condition and health. All I was told is my marriage is happening next day. I couldn't just admit it but at the same time couldn't stop it...

Geet starts crying at this point of time... Calm down Geet...it's allright... Ridzy hands over a glass of water to Geet. Ridzy didn't want to stop Geet as she wants to know what are the true happenings in Geet's life in past one year...

I wanted happy faces around me when my marriage happens...but due to Daadi's severe illness, The atmosphere was a mix of unhappiness and tension. I wanted my friends and all my cousins, and close and distinct relatives to be present but none of these happened. It was such a low profile affair..And all these things added to my mental state. I couldn't even register what is going on in my life and what's my future. all were so very tensed they somehow wanted this marriage to happen so that my daadi can leave this world peacefully. Oneway, even I wanted to give all happiness to my daadi at that point of time...but MY MARRIAGE? NO...I wasnt prepared for it to happen in this way. in such a short frame, I didn't even know who is my would be husband, how he looks, what's his nature, what's his take on this marriage...I never got to talk to him or even glance at him for once. and before I could get these answers, I was transformed into a married woman and given a new identity MRS MAAN SINGH KHURANA...and ..and within few seconds after that, my Daadi passed away while blessing me and hugging me. I was sooo heart broken with her death. I couldn't even stay back for her funeral and final rights as I was newly married and now belong to another family...

Geet takes a sad pause and continues narrating all that had happened on that day as each and every second is imprinted in her heart..

With such a depressing mindset, I had to bid goodbye to my maternal family and moved on to Delhi on the same day, a huge city that's highly populated and congested lifestyle...I truly felt like an alien in that place as I hail from a small town..... and then, my grah pravesh happens into the huge Khurana Mansion... so..there it was...new city, new place to live amidst new people around whom I have never got to know until now...and it's a new beginning and the cherry on the top of it is the elders of my family, say Daarji, my parents, chacha-chachi had high expectations out of me and come what may, I must live up to both family's expectations.

Now, you tell me Ridzy...how could I immediately give in to the new life which was just slammed on me? Geet takes a very tiring sigh. I am still trying to cope up.. I was welcomed whole heartedly as daughter in law of Khurana family but somewhere I am failing to adapt myself into this new life.

Ridzy holds her hand.. she could really feel the pain in each and every word what Geet was saying...it is no way easy... GEET...

Geet responds to her hold and continues... the night before the wedding in HP, I just got an outline about Khurana family that they are quite rich and their business empire is flourishing day by day... and later it was a shocker for me as they are way too richie-rich than what I had heard and me and my family background is no way in par status.

R: Ab yeh status wali baat kahan se aagaya Geet? (From where did this status thing crossed your mind?) I completely agree with whatever you have been telling till now...but I am not buying this reason.

G: Try to understand...Maan could have got one better than other girl who matches with him in all terms...by class, by fame, by culture and education...and see I don't have anything that could match with him.

R: Eise mat bol yaar... YOU as one person can defeat any female personality..and your's and Maan's jodi is beyond perfection. Please throw this inferiority complex out of your mind..

G: it's not about complex..it's about ME...MY SELF RESPECT... Even though Maan and Daadi don't have any headweight regarding this, but they are such a big shots and their daily interactions has been with big time Politicians, VVIPs, Business Tycoons, and high class people. And upar se ye media.. they will never miss on highlighting such a news..And how am I supposed to be introduced to these people? won't they think that khuranas have got a “chote shehar ki anpadh gawar ladki” as their elder daughter in law?

She suddenly got into a silent mode..and she breath got heavy and tears welled in her eyes as she can still feel Maan voice loud in her ears screaming out that she is a country brute.

How clear it was with his tone that he can never accept me in any case as I belong to a family which is no way in par with Khuranas.

R: What are you even saying? I bet this is not exactly what you feel but someone in that so called biiiig Mansion has taunted about you like this… who dared to talk like this with you? why you didn't tell Maan Jiju about this?

Geet smiles at Ridzy's words as it was told by none other than her MAAN JIJU..Geet could have simply ignored these harsh words if any other person would have taunted her like this...but it really hurt her way too much and it still does as these flow of words came from her husband..

G: My dear...stop assuming and listen to me. No body told me anything but my inner self speaks out loud to me. I don't want to showcase myself as a go-lucky girl from a small town who have got married to a richie rich family and now she doesn't need to do or achieve anything but lead rest of her life lavishly by spending her husband's money...

Geet takes a phew as she tells this in one go..

That's why I am more keen to strengthen my personal identity...and concentrating to complete my graduation and focus on my further studies and build my career path... so that when I am introduced to anyone in and around my husband's circle, I have something to talk about ME, MYSELF ...WHO I AM...WHAT I AM... and no one will dare to pin point at me when I am standing on my own feet.

Ridzy by now is understanding Geet's POV as she knows very well that Geet is a person who has high values and self respect. That's why she is focusing on her education and taking up a job for herself.

G: Now, you tell me, how do you expect me to change over night and face the new world around me? That's why I have requested some time from Maan and till then keep this marriage under wraps...and that's how no one knows about it...even the close family friends and relatives. So, trust my words.

Ridzy holds on to Geet's hand...Geet...you know that I always trust you...it's just that I want to be sure that you are getting the love and respect that you deserve.

Ridzy sighs feeling bit relaxed now with this open talk...but still she has lot of things going on in her mind.

R: I curse myself for not being around you when your sudden marriage happened. Maybe my dad would have requested Daarji to at least postpone this wedding and give you and Maan jiju enough time to understand each other.

G:You know that I had no say about my marriage...it's the elders of the family who decide on this. I really missed you a lot at that time...but please don't feel guilty. Even if you and Soni Uncle would have been here, Darji would have still stood strong with his decisions.

R: I don't disagree to it...but they should have given you some time and the ultimate decision should have favoured you.

G: Ridzy, no body is at fault or to be blamed. Everybody had to give in to situation and my Daadi's last wish at that point of time.

R: And what about your's and Maan Jiju's wish?

G: Well...that was the least priority at that point of time.

R: Geet .. I seriously want to know something from you but never got the right opportunity and also feeling strange nervousness...

G: Ridz.. From when such a barrier came in between both of us? Nothing can weaken our friendship...please ask me whatever you want to ..

R: You have told your point of view...but what about Maan Jiju? I mean is he too going thro the same dilemma or he has accepted it ?

Geet is really put into a strange fix now...as she is unable to tell the truth to Ridzy and at the same time, she has to portray Maan as the perfect Mr. Right..

G: like I told you some time back, I am a human...then he is a human too. When my life changed over night then even his life has changed completely...and we were complete strangers to each other...so, I could understand him from his POV, and gave him the space that he required.

R: I completely agree dear...I just want to know how he has been treating you?

G: Ridzy, All I would answer you is we are in good terms. And coming to me I am still keeping up my promise. My husband holds high respect in my life.

R: Haan haan I know it and you proved your family values during the interview today.

G: How did you know?

R: My friend was supposed to attend the interview right after you...but the entire interview got called off..and all the candidates were asked to go back.

G: CALLED OFF?

R: Haan yaar...and the credit goes to you... you gave that HR Lady such a deserving blow that the boss of the company decided to wind up the interview......WAH GEET...I really missed to witness you in lioness avatar once again...

Geet gets into a serious thoughts now... such a big loss and it all happened because of ME?

R: What loss? I agree they have to reschedule the interview though...Anyways, it's not your problem, it's the problem of that Company's MD..This is what is expected when he hires a show piece in place of HR Manager. Anyways, you don't take unnecessary tension..for your qualification and talent, you will get far better job offers.

Ridzy still doesn't know about the true identity of the MD...Geet is not able to comment any thing further..she is not able to take it as this interview session was called off and all because of her...Now, have I really done such a blunder that the entire interview has been called off ??? and that too because of ME?? But why? I only intended to teach that Sasha a lesson as she was dragging my personal life unnecessarily... She looks up and talks to her babaji worriedly...Hey babaji...what I wanted and what happened and uper se...Maan mujh pe double gussa honge... She pause for a while...but why he seems to be calm? Haan it's just a silence before the typhoon hits and this typhoon will hit me very soon...

Ridzy snaps her fingers to draw Geet's attention and Geet is out of her own world with a jerk

Oye Geet Madam... You told all about the hidden facts now please also tell me why you get into a sudden silent mode very often?

Geet again blinks back at Ridzy now..

R: One thing I must admit.. you really look cute when you are caught and you blink like this... she pulls Geet's cheeks playfully..

G: Ouch...Kya kar rahi ho ridzy...

Ridzy smiles at Geet and her kiddish anger..she really wishes all what Geet told now is true. But somewhere something is still irking her making her feel that Geet is still hiding something. Wonder why... Are you sure that this is all what it is?

G: I AM DAMN SURE !! Now stop thinking too much. You had dragged Armaan into unnecessary argument.

Ridzy got quite again and lost in her thoughts. She is somehow convinced with her talks with Armaan. But still he is no way at fault and she should have not behaved like this with him.

G: Now it's your turn to come out of this silent mode..... please make up to him and apologise to him.

Geet almost pushes ridzy out of bed... PLEASE GO!!

R: Acha baba...I am leaving but on one condition that you will not dare to get out of bed and prove your extra curricular talent. 😬

Geet nods her head and smiles in response and once Ridzy is out, Geet is again lost in her thoughts wondering how will she face the tough challenge to maintain all what she has been lying to everyone and how challenging it's going to get to move far away from both her family and close friends. Of all the lies that she has been telling, one thing that stands strong honestly is she wants to strengthen her personal identity and stand strong on her own feet. It is a must for her to lead her future life...but ALL ALONE.
