Hi people,
Thank you all the lovely comments...
If you guys have the time, I would love to know some of your favoriate scenes too...

Mine was when Geet reassures her promise of friendship to Maan in Central park...that has been my favorite so far...
As for my favioriate whole part...it must be part 11...cant be anything else..
I didn't know I had unconsiously poured in so much of Maan in that one😆...
He was running back and forth...he was a nervous wreck but still thought through everything from the food to his hunch about Geet being at the airport...

Anyways please let me know...somebody had left a message about the pincher scene in Central park being their favorite...Please let me know...would love to hear you all..

I hope I was also conveying all the subtlety as they come out...
Like in Part 11,

<Meera's monologue> MK…"please"….I didn't have to worry about Geet anymore….I relaxed….

This to me was Meera's recognition of the bond that Maan was sharing with Geet...

And if you also notice...In Part 11 was the first time Maan didnt hold back...he was totally consumed in making geet better...

In the others, he hesitated and though too much about what others might think...Hope you liked all these small nuances...

Please keep reading and posting...

Thanks

Hasini

both part are awesome pls do cont soonnnnnn

Alright people...I think you all wanted to know why Geet wanted to go to Toronto...and this to me was needed for Maan to know the entire truth about Geet's marriage...So hope you like it and please keep posting you comments and feedback..

Part 12: Hoshiarpur to Toronto'

<Maan's monologue>

She was pleading the attendant at the counter to check and re-check again'The attendant understanding her emotional mess, was trying to convince her that there were no flights until the next day morning.

I was relieved to see her in one-piece'she looked the same and her emotional state had worsened'It seemed like she was in a trance'trying to do something which she fully wasn't cognizant of'She wanted to go to Toronto'and that is all she cared about'probably because she felt she could change things for the one last time'

Meera pulled her behind the pillar'I was leaning on the other side so as to not to be in her presence'I was a wreck.

Meera:" Tumhe kya hoga ya hai'tum hosh me to ho na?"

Geet:" Mujhe jaana hai'mujhe dev se baat karna hai'sirf ek akri baar.."

Akri baar? What had happened? Where was he going?

Meera:" Geet tum aise kaise baagi chali aa saktee hain? Do you realize what you are doing?....jaago please jaago'"

Geet:" Meera mujhe jaana hain'bas..mujhe jaana hain'I made a mistake by coming here'I should have never taken this job'"

She regretted coming here? Is she regretting everything that happened here too? I could only ponder'but never know what she had in mind'

Geet:" Mujhe jaan hain'Dev se baath karna hain'"

She kept repeating as if that is all that she was capable of?

Geet:" Chalo next counter mein pooch te hain'"

Meera:" Tumne suna nahi geet'saare flights booked hain'sirf kal subhe ka flight hain'"

Geet:" Nahin'mein kal subha ka flight nahin le sakthi'.bahuth der ho jaayega'Dev Toronto chood kar jaa raha hai'aur mujhe batana bhi nahi chahta hai ke voh kahaan jaa rahen hai'"

Her sobbing became worse'I couldn't take it anymore, that's it this state of her had to stop'If she feels she could make a difference now by going there, then I want to make sure she felt that she tried it all'I went around the pillar'

Maan:" Chalo mere saath'mein tumhe leke chal ta hoon"

Geet:" Aaap'.yahaan.." she was clearly embarrassed'but I didn't care'and she probably didn't care'I was sure there far more important things on her mind'

Geet:" Please Maan'mein is baath mein kisi se madad nahi le sakthi'."

She let go of Meera's grip and started walking towards the next counter'with giant tears rolling down her cheeks

I walked ahead and got hold of her and pulled her close'"friendship ka waada kiya hai'Damnit'"

"Bus'chup chaap mere saath chalo'" and I didn't wait for her answer'I dragged her along by her hand'

Maan:" Meera tum mere saath chal rahe ho'" She was taken back by my behavior'as I said I didn't care'

It was 7.00 PM already and we started driving'the GPS announced a journey of 8 hrs and 45 mts ahead' I will make for any time in the high speed zones'

Meera called Yash from the car and told about our adhoc trip to Toronto'

We had nothing on us to be prepared for the long journey, but once again I didn't care' but first I had to make sure she ate something'

None of us spoke a word in the car'

I stopped at the nearest food court and filled us with essentials'water, paper towels, cereal bars, snacks, wet tissues'and a first aid kit'

Yash was to meet here with Meera's and my passport papers'

Luckily we all had our visa' status updated'We collected the papers and left for the long and painful journey ahead'Yash stayed behind.

She ate'nibbled on something'but couldn't complete'I kept checking on her in the rear view mirror'Her outbursts had come down in frequency and I was relieved that she was stressing out only a little'her state was still worse'but I will take what I get'

After 3 hrs she had become completely silent and probably dozed off'

Meera checked on her and she was fine'

We occasionally stopped for rest room breaks'took out short rest area walks to keep the leg circulation going'

I had not slept and it had been driving for the past 6 hrs'The 9 hr long sleep the other day almost seemed to be covering for the deficit I would have today'

We crossed the border and entered Canada'The morning twilight had started showing up in the horizons' We didn't talk during the entire drive'it was something on the radio'that engulfed the silence amidst us'

It was the early hours around 2.30 AM'Meera woke Geet up as we were reaching Toronto'She guided as with a lot of hesitation'her voice was feeble'as if it had lost all hope'as we neared her place'she started sobbing badly'

We halted a couple of yards from her house'She was relieved to see that her husband had not left their house and was probably still packing'

She had her eyes fixated on a particular window and did not talk or cry'she was in a trance, a deep one'almost seemed like she had gone way too back in time'

We couldn't understand why she had not left the car to go talk to him'10 mts turned 30 and 30 turned an hour'

Meera:" Geet'Tum Dev se baath karna chahti ti'ab hum yahaan hai'what are you waiting for?..."

She didn't respond to Meera'

Geet:" Maan'agar mein aapse yeh boolongi ki'hum vaapas chal sakte hain'kya aap mujse gussa karenge?'"

I and Meera were startled at her statement'I turned and looked at her eyes'It was a deep red and had swollen from the exhaustion'She almost seemed to have a resolve in her look'I didn't want to ask her what it was'

Maan: " Nahin'but are you sure'"

Geet:" Ji'I'm sure'"

She cut Meera off as she was about to say anything'

Geet:" Ab mera yahaan baath karne ke liye kuch nahin hain'"

We turned around and started driving..She was awake and she didn't cry'that was a relief'

Meera dozed off' I stopped the car at a view point and got off the car'I was leaning on the bonnet to take in the view'I could use this break'It was calming on the nerves'

Geet took sometime to realize where she was'It was part of the Niagara'.The sun was coming from behind the gorges'She opened the door and came and stood next to me'She was looking straight at the sunrise'

She broke our silence as she continued to glare at the sunrise'

Geet:"Main 18ara saal kit hi'jab meri shaadi hui thi'I didn't know 1 hr before the marriage that I was getting married'"

I was shocked'I turned and looked at her'

"Dev ka rishta didi ke liye aaya tha'hum sab bahuth kush the'sivaya didi ke'and at that time we didn't know she was in love with someone else'She left our home few hours before the marriage'and I was the stop-gap to save that day'."

Tears were banking up in the corner of her eyes'I took my handkerchief and gave it to her..

Maan:" Asoon ponch lo Geet'"

Geet:" Bahuth sapne the'main hamesha class mein first thi'aur college bhi poori karna chahte ti'lekin us din ke baad sab kuch badal gaya tha'sapna dekne maana tha'"

She turned and looked at me'but unable to meet my eyes, she once again turned away'

Geet:"Yaahan aakar'2 saal ghar mein hi beti rahi'then I asked Dev to help me complete my studies..and he accepted'mein ghar ka kaam or padaayi achi tarah se sambhal rahi thi'lekin..lagta hai bahuth kuch kami rehgaya tha'"

Geet:" Dev ke liye'."

Maan:" Aur tumhare liye Geet'."

She didn't answer my question'.

Geet:" Main bahuth dar gayi thi Maan'." She started sobbing again' and I could feel her pain in her voice once again'

Geet:"Mein apni zindagi mein kabhi akele nahi rahi hoon'Mujhe usse pyaar tha'ya zindagi akele kaat ne ka dar tha'mujhe pata nahin'"

Geet:" Ab mere liye kuch nahi raha'koi ghar nahain ha apna'"

I didn't want to interrupt'but I didn't want to let her go on like this' I turned and told her

Maan:" Chup'bilkul chup'"

She looked into my eyes'

Maan:" Ab aise baatein karne ki koi zaroorat nahin'.bas'" Strangely my two sentences silenced her'She didn't fight back'

We stood there for some time and then we left for the drive back home'

She was silent again'she seemed to have come to a decision'I didn't know what it was'but I was ready to be a part of it'

Part 13:"Chat pe aa sakte ho?"
