Part8:

Thursday

Maan, Dadima and his friend Yash arrived at Handa Mansion.

They were welcomed heartly by Handa's. Maan took Geet's parents blessings, which left a very good impression on Handa's about Maan's upbringing. They were made to seat and talks on random things were just flowing. In all this one person was restless, excited, nervous and what not..

Finally the moment came when his restless heart found it's peace.

There came Geet clad in beautiful yellow color red border saree with a matching red color blouse. Gold earrings dangling in her ears, hairs flowing down from her shoulders, a beautiful necklace adoring her neck, bangles and anklets singing along as she walked. In the name of make up she only had kaajal. All in all she just looked out of the world.

Geet served coffee to them. She had her eyes lowered all the while only when she forwarded the tray to Maan did she lift her lashes up to find the soft chocolate orbs staring into her!! Blood rushed to her face making it pink. Geet had to accept he was one handsome man she had ever seen. Maan took the cup of coffee and mouthed a soft thank you, to which he received a small smile from Geet.

Geet was made to sit down, then things regarding marriage was discussed. Savitri Devi called their family purohit and asked him fix a date for the marriage. The purohit calculated and told that their was an auspicious date that was in the next month. If both were to get married that day they would be happy whole of the life except they would face few obstacles in the start. Nothing bad would happen, but if they would be with each other that would also pass off easily.

With many positive things and good things to happen in both of their life they fixed the marriage date.

With the marriage date fixed, both the families were on their toes making decisions regarding arrangements, venue, decorations, dresses, jewelry, invitations etc...

But there was another person among them who was very worried now about life of the people here.. that was Shilpa. She had very less time and she must act wise and fast.

Geet had unknowingly gotten herself into such a trouble that each and every step need to be taken carefully.

**********************

Maan and Dadi had gone back to Delhi, as Maan would need a week break for the wedding and he had a lot of work to complete in office as well as at home. During lunch time or snacks break he would call Geet, for they couldn't actually speak with each other when they had met. But as always Geet didn't receive the call, for she was too lost in an altogether different world. She was badly stuck between her parents happiness and Jessie.

*************

There was one week to their marriage when Shilpa came there, not that she didn't go to Geet's house, from the day Geet's marriage was fixed she clung onto her where ever she went, always there would be worry, fear on her face. But today when Geet saw her, she saw some relief, some hope of what she is doing would work.

Shilpa tied tabeeze around Geet's right wrist

"Dekho, tum daro mat. Let it always be in your hand, Jessie will not be able to come near you."

*****************

Wedding was grand, why would it not be the only daughter of Mohinder and Rano, only grandson of Khurana's were getting married. The best of the bestest was choosen for the wedding. Pre-wedding rituals like haldi, mehendi, sangeet were done in their respective places.

Maan sat in front of the holy fire and doing the rituals that the priest asked him to. Soon the bride was called...

Geet was brought and made to sit next to Maan, who was stunned seeing his wife...sorry would be wife....Maan corrected himself.

All the while both were stealing glances at each other, with out making others aware of it.

Ghatbandan, kanyadan were done, followed by sath pheras, then Maan finally marked Geet in front of the world as his by filling her mang with sindoor and tying mangalsutra around her neck. He promised himself to keep up all the vows he has taken.

Both took the blessings of elders, who blessed them.

The guests who had came to the wedding were speechless with the decorations, they felt like they were in some heaven attending a wedding there, they for sure though to have attended a wedding of some God and Goddess after seeing the couple. If first they were praising the decorations they totally forgot about it the time they same Maaneet, the couple who looked beyond perfect.

The marriage came to an end, followed by an emotional bidaai.

**************

3 months later... Delhi

Evening 5pm.

Maan enters into his apartment tired after a hectic day at office and locks the door behind him. After that he looks ahead of him to be greated by the same view he is used to see from the time he got married. House untidy, and Geet in a blue color saree, sitting on the head dinning chair with her chin rested on her right palm and she lost in her thoughts starring at the blank wall ahead of her.

Maan sighs helplessly, though his tiredness was gone the time he saw his wife but seeing her like this lost somewhere made him sad.

"Shaadi ke theen mahine hochuki hai, par abhi be apne maike ke mood mehi hai bhai." he looks upwards like complaining to God, what more he has to do to get Geet out of her this state.

He takes out his pen from his shirt pocket and faces towards the calendar that was hanging on the wall beside him

"Meri zindagi ke ek aur khoobsurat aur ramay rath gai www.dhua.com."

and puts a cross on that day's date, like he has been doing since the time of his marriage.

"Pen ke ink khali hogai, lakin ye nahi badli".

Maan notices that, that day was Shivaratri and mumbles

"Office may kaam ke karan Shivaratri ko be holiday nahi tha, aur ghar par be jaagaran ka moka nahi hai." all he could do is just sigh and move towards Geet.

"Aaj be single cot...." he sighs and walks upto Geet and announces of his presence

"Mmm...Hi"

Startled Geet looks at Maan smiling standing beside her with his left hand on the chair to her left, she fumbles with words, not getting what to say...

"Coffee? " Maan asks her.

To which Geet dips down her head, with guilt and shame

"Aa..hh..mm.. Doodh nahi hai."

"I didn't ask if you will make a cup of coffee, I asked if you will drink it! *Maan pats his office/laptop bag that hung on his left shoulder* Doodh mai laya hu."

"Nahi"

Maan walking towards the kitchen

"Kyu ji, theen mahine se mera hath ke bane hue coffee pe pe ke life bore hogai hai kya? "

He laughs slightly at his own silly joke. He places the bag on kitchen counter and starts making coffee

"Geet *Maan pops his head out of kitchen * aap itne silent kyu hai? Koi mannat mangiti kya? Ki agar acha pati milaga to moun vrath karunga?"

He pours the coffee he prepared into two cups

"Agar aisa kuch hai to mujhe kushi hai ki mai ek aacha pati banapayi. But on the other side I'm sad kyu ke aap mujhse bath nahi kar rahiho."

He settles himself on the chair next to Geet placing one cup of coffee infront of Geet "Ligiye coffee" and the other infront of him.

"Aa... Mujhe in sab mai vishwas nahi hai, lakin iss ka mathlab ye nahi ke aap ko be mera tara rehna hai."

Then boosting himself, he finally asks looking at Geet who was busy starring at her hands

"Mai sirf ye kehna chata hu ke, aapke iss vrath ko jaldhi katam kar ke, humari shadhi ke jeevan ka vrath shuru kar range" Geet looks up to the world's handsome man looking at her with all the hope, desire, love he has for her, sitting there with that small smile on his M-shaped lips, that one sight would be enough to melt down any girl.

Geet was dreading that this movement would come, and it's finally here. Not knowing how to react she lowers down her thick long lashes seeing here and there, a blush creeping up her cheek, controlling herself from smiling she pushes her chair behind and does the thing that she was doing from the time she came here that is running up the stairs to her room.

"Sharamagai ya gussa hogai? I didn't get it.. " Maan sat behind judging about Geet's behavior not able to come to a conclusion

Neither the less, he walks up the stairs with the coffee cup

"

Geet... Shadhi ke badh hum do no kahi nahi gaye hai. Aaj meri friend ke wedding anniversary hai, aur vo both request ki hai ki hum dono ko attend karne keliye."

*he enters into a big bedroom and walks straight up to a door there

"Waha meri se zyada aap ko he value hogi. Kyu ke vo log to aap ko dekha he nahi hai.

* he leans onto the wall beside the door * Will you get ready? Hum attend karke lotenge..."

After a second of getting no response from inside he knocks on the door "Geet!! "

The door knob turns and Geet opens the door, it looked like an attached bedroom to the main bedroom.

"Mera tabeth kuch teek nahi hai, aap he ja kar ayie."

"Nahi...vo.. " Maan tries convincing her knowing that it was one of her reasons

"Pleasee..."

Geet closes the door and Maan leans back against the wall sighing

***************

"Hi guys"

"Hi"

All together "Cheers"

Maan, Arjun, Rahul, Vicky stood beside the pool enjoying their drinks except Maan, who stood simply with his hands in his pockets.

"I don't know why she is like this man, Tch!!" Maan said out of nowhere, hopefully thinking to get some answers from his friends as they all were married and he had no idea what to do with Geet's indifferent behavior.

"Cheer up Man, cheer up! Gaun se ayie hai, adjust hone mai time lagega. Papa, mama, the place where she grew up,.. she needs some time. She will be fine." Arjun said

"Correct, he is right " Rahul agreed with Arjun.

"Theen mahine chaye kya?" Maan asked bewildered.

To which his other friend Vicky answered

"Oye, waha dekho *he points towards a woman who was dancing like crazy* mere biwi, gaun se hai, Delhi life ko chodo mere sath soone mai char mahine lagai....Aab foreign mai paida hoke India mai rahi raha jise behave kar rahi hai."

All laughed at the way Vicky told

"Geet badal ne wale ladki nahi hai, aur mai chati be nahi ki vo badle, because I had liked her that way....*Maan comes out of his trace*

Ha vo to hai, lakin aur kitne din mai aapne aap self-service karta rahunga.."

"HA?? " "HAa?" "What?"

Is the next thing he heard from his friends around him who were startled by what Maan said at last.

"Hello, maine kaha ghar ke kaam, khana.."

After hearing this all were like

"Ohh ho"

Finally getting what they meant Maan playfully punches them on their shoulder.

Part 8

Part 9:

Next day, afternoon

Geet comes down the stairs drying her wet damp hair with a white towel, clad in a cream colored saree. She was heading towards the kitchen to get herself some water when the door bell rang.

She walks towards it pushing back her hair and holding the towel in her right hand she opens the door to see no one there.

She steps out of the threshold and looks in the corridor but found it empty..

Confused she locks the door and walks back drying her hair. She had not even taken five steps the bell rang again, somewhere fear started to creep in her. Still she went and opened the door after few seconds to find no one there. That creeped her up more,.Geet hurriedly went back and closed the door behind her, somewhere she thought it to be... No she couldn't that, that was scary. Shrugging her thoughts she walks few steps forward and stops for few seconds tilting her head towards the door to see if the bell would ring again.

Many seconds passed when that didn't happen she sighed a breath of relief and continued walking drying her hairs

When the bell rang again, stopping Geet dead in her tracks, breath hitched in her throat. Jessie?? Here?? Was the thought that instantly came to her mind. The silent flat and the chimming of the windbells hanged in the hall beside the window, Geet's raged breath and raised heartbeats was all that could be heard.

She dragged herself to the door fearing to face the dreadfull thing. She holds the door handle tightly and takes a deep breath before opening the door with a force.

"SURPRISE!! " Shilpa jumps in, the breath that had clogged in Geet's throat finally made it's way out. She sighs a breath of relief "Ufff! " Geet mumbles and keeps her forehead on the door relieved that what she thought didn't happen.

A chirpy Shilpa pinchs Geet's cheek

"Darpok, dar gayi kay?"

"Shilpa, tum."

Shilpa moves into the house while Geet closes the door. Geet suddenly realises in what condition she has kept the house, UNTIDY

"WOW! What a beautiful and spacious house!!"

Geet runs behind and takes the napkin that was on the lamp and throws that to a side trying to clean up!! But the whole house was in the same state

"But why have you kept it this untidy?"

She turns back to see Geet walking behind her with her head down

"Kya, tumhare gharwale ne to tumse kaam karne tak nahi diya, itne aache dekhbal kar raha hai. Hmm " she teases Geet and again pinched her cheeks

"Shilpa" geet makes an irritated face and settles herself on a dinning chair.

Shilpa follows behind her "Aye! "

"Are you shy or angry because I asked you a personal question? Ha?"

"Shilpa please, tum ko to sub kuch malum hai, aise bath math karo."

Shilpa didn't know what to understand from Geet's words

"Geet, mathlab?"

"I'm not that girl who would give her heart to one and sleep with another. *tears start flowing from her eyes out of helplessness* tak gai hu mai, mujhse nahi horaha hai Shilpa... nahi horaha hai."

Shilpa became tensed,

"Mathlab, Jessie.....tumhe yaha be parishan kar raha hai? "

Geet nods her head in affirmation, Shilpa's eyes widened hearing that.

"Unki atma nahi, unki yade mujhe jeene nahi deraha hai. Inn sub ke beech mai Maan ke sath kise jeeu"

Shilpa shakes her head in disbelief

"My god, Geetu insab ke hoke teen mahine jaachuki hai. Tum unsab ko bhul kar kush rehna chaye. Tum aapne aapko aisa dhoka kyu derahe ho?"

"Mera sath dhoka hoga koi phark nahin padata. Lakin jinno ne mujhse shaadi ke hai mujhe usko dhoka nahi dena chaye."

That was the limit, till now Shilpa had tried explaining things maintaining her cool and thought that she herself would understand the things...

"To, yaha kyu reha rahiho? Maan ko divorce deke chal aapne maike."

"Ha! " Geet was startled with Shilpa's raisen voice and words which she felt like had pierced her heart. Geet looks at Shilpa in disbelief.

"Aur nahi to kya, tumhara dard ko tum sehna teek hai, lekin issme tumhara pati ka kya kasoor?? ha?"

It was finally like something sense able was getting into Geet's head.

"Tumne kabhi soocha hai, ki vo tumhare bareme, tum dono ke future ke bareme vo kitne saapne dekha hoga.! Ha?"

"Dekho Geet, dil sirf ladki ko nahi hota hai, ladka ko be hota hai. Infact pyar ke liye ladki se zyada ladkoka dil dhadkta hai."

"Aur kya sooch rahi ho? Hum aise zamane mai hai, jaha divorces hota hai silly silly reasons ke liye. Agar aisa dekha jaye to tumhara pati great hai. Jo shaadi hoke teen mahine badh be Bhagana premi ke tara tumhara intizar kar rahi hai."

"Geet, u are blessed to get such a lovely, caring husband. Love him, care for him. Both of you be happy."

Shilpa wished for Geet's life from the bottom of her heart.

"Please"

Seeing Geet finally thinking, Shilpa knew there is one more important thing to be done and that was to bring Geet to reality that she was never in love with Jessie.

"Ek aur bath kahu? Tumne Jessie se kabhi pyar he nahi kiya."

Listening to this Geet's hung head snapped back to face her friend thinking what made her to say that

"Ha, tumne sahi suna. U have never been in love with Jessie. That's because you didn't think on your own. Tumhara thoughts controlled tee. Aur it's ur mistake that you let it happen."

Seeing a confused Geet she continues

"Kabhi Jessie ko dekh ke aisa laga hai dil ke dhakan teez hogai ho? Ya your heart has skipped it's beat? "

Geet nods negatively.

"That ticklish feeling in your chest, butterflies in your tummy? Restlessness?"

She again received a negative nod for that question

"Itna kafi hai, ye kehne ke, ki tum Jessie se khabi pyar nahi ki hai. And ya, I will not comment on Jessie's love or feelings. But I would really like to say he was not loyal to you. He hadn't disclosed his identity to you, but you found it out yourself that he was already dead some one and a half years before you had met him. I don't know where he saw you or how he fell in love? Was it before his death or after his death?

You had also told of seeing him hear and there, right? Just think it yourself, he is a ghost and he can just make his appearance anywhere and anytime....

I'm for sure if he had truely loved you he would have thought of your happiness. He would have wished and prayed for your future life. He would have been happy seeing you happy from far. Whereas all he did was to disturb your peaceful life, disrupt your mind, peace. All you got in the end is nothing but trouble, unhappiness. *pause* think about it"

Geet was lost thinking and poundering on the points what Shilpa said. She asked herself why didn't she think this way. If she had used at least small proportion of her brain she wouldn't be standing where she is now. Happily married to her loving, caring husband, who had taken care of her and gave importance to her happiness, didn't force her into anything she didn't wish to do. He gave her time and space to adjust. That was what loved ones do, love cannot be forced down the throat, it must be mutual.

All her husband, her Maan did was wait for her, when he had all the right on her which no-one else in the world had...

First she was in dilema and torn between Jessie and her parents. Then between Maan and Jessie that she was not loyal to either of them. But now when she realized that Jessie and his love was nothing but an illusion that was created by Jessie himself, had her dissapointed at the cheap trick that was played on her.

Now she would go the way she was destined to, her destiny is Maan, her husband. His love for her and her love for him. She had admired him from the start be it for the way he behaved, did his work, respect for elders, trying to make her relax and comfortable with him. This all had fluttered her heart somewhere, that was why she felt void...stabbed at heart, when Shilpa asked her to divorce Maan.

Now with this reality of what in actual Jessie was and what Maan was had made her budding feelings for her husband stronger, to stand by him whole of her life, to try to love him like he does....

I have updated

Geet is not just meting Maan, a wedding is already being planned.

The wedding got done with no trouble from Jessie. But he must be lurking.

3 months have passed and Geet has been very silent. Is she afraid? Has Jessie been around?

Thank god for Shilpa. She came and gave Geet a nice talk. Full of good advice.

Geet seems to be ready to accept what Shipa said and move on. Hope she truly will.

Please do continue the story as you had planned. Don't cut it short.
