Part 88
Sab kuch bikhar raha hai type feeling aa rahi hai Maan ko
Maan somehow ends up sitting in one of the benches outside the hospital
He is thinking ki kya kare…
Reprioritize...
Business ... He can take a break... There will be losses but it's only money…he can earn it back
Geet…How he wishes they can run away somewhere together…but this isn't working
He needs to take care of his mom first
With Geet around, his mum uselessly gets hyper and acts unreasonably
Maybe if Geet is not around she will be more accepting towards the treatment
Maybe he can tell Geet to not meet and talk when his mom is around... take a step back…
He hopes when he says this, Geet won't break up with him all together
Maan udhar daze mei baitha tha
Suddenly he feels something warm against his hand
Dekha ki Geet had come
She sat next to him and offered him something warm to drink
Maan chup chap pi leta hai
This moment is also good for him
He wishes he can extend it
He doesn’t wanna bring up his mum and taking a step back
G - How did the deal go?
Geet asks
He shakes his head
G – Well, it's okay you can make it up later
He nods...
M - Geet I…
G - Let me speak first
She hands him some documents
G - I have researched and consulted the doctors... your mom's condition ... although it's not clear but her treatment will be much better at this hospital X. They specialize for these types of rare conditions. These are all the details as well as patient transfer documents if you think another hospital is better for her.
M- This Geet-
Geet puts her hand gently on his lips
G - You know there are some families... I mean people... Who just aren't meant to get along... Like same poles is a magnet... forcing them together is no use…I don't think your mom and I will ever get along. Best case scenario is at we stay away from each other…I won't ask you to choose. But I can't help you with her... she didn't want me around and my presence only makes things worse. I really hope she gets better. You can maybe find a balance…but we will never be a happy family of three
Maan looks at Geet’s practical looking doctor face…as if she is stating cold facts...he can either agree or disagree... she didn't give a sh*texpression.
He notices a thick bandage from her wrist halfway to her elbow because of the vase injury incited by his mom
Maan grabs Geet and hugs her hard
M - I am so sorry
G - It's not your fault
M- I am so useless
G- No, you stink a little, but you are not useless
She rubs his back soothingly
M- You are hurt because of me
G - We can't let her hurt your handsome face again. Where will I find another one as good looking at you?
She says jokingly
M- So I am just a pretty face to you?
G – Well, I heard your business isn't doing well... right now your looks are your only asset
Maan couldn't help but laugh a little at her words… suddenly the whole world didn't seem so hopeless now...
