I can't imagine Maan's condition after reaching his home and coming to know that his wife has left..
and about Geet's too.. not sure where she went..

Please update sooon.

Thanks febiny. Yesm pure love is selfless and that is what Maaneet are. Geet gave up Maan thinking she is in the way to his happiness and Maan was trying to move away from her emotionally thinking that she would be better off without him although it was killing him inside. The next update will be painful, at least at the start.

So you visited many chawls for your assignment? That's good to know. Yes, Mumbai has a unique culture you cannot find anywhere else in the world. The festival season begins in August and goes on till March (Holli). I think you need to upload the pictures in some site like the tinypic in order to be able to post them on IF.

Oh No....Geet left...I kind of saw that coming but i kind of ignored that feeling...

But when i thought about i thought Maan still wouldnt realize his love for Geet and than knowing she is not there will awaken his hidden feeling but he has finally accepted it..Thank you Sameera...and she isnt there...

My heart goes out to the both of them...

and truth be told Maan is a really caring husband..Doing all this for Geet because he feels that he is unworthy of her love...Maan you are so sweet...and i hope that they meet soon and confess

Thank you so much for the update even if i dont like the cliffhanger😆...but it was truly phenomenal

That's why I said await the surprise. It is not that Maan did not love Geet enough but that he loved her too much which was the real problem. Sam needed to make him realise just how much he really loves his wife. Maan is a gem of a person despite his hard, inscrutable exterior. Thanks.

Part XXVII

Maan took two stairs at a time in his haste to reach home and let go of all his pent up feelings of the past weeks. He reached the front door and pressed the bell several times, eager to see his beloved wife. There was no response. He then banged at the door - still no response. He started getting alarmed. Why was Geet not opening the door? Was she ill, has she fainted like she did on the Dahi Handi day? Panicking, he hurriedly searched for the duplicate key in his hip pocket and on finding it opened the door. He rushed in and found no one in either of the rooms. 'Has she gone to Manju's house?' he wondered and was about to go to his neighbour's house when he noticed the notebook on the bed and the note under it flapping in the breeze. Pulling the note out, he read it curiously.

As he ran his eyes through the note, they widened in shock and despair. Dropping the note, he looked around and found his diary lying on the floor. Her sketches of him lay scattered around it. He knew then that due to his folly, he had lost the only woman he truly ever loved. He kept shunning her because he thought his love could not match up to hers, that he was not good enough for her. Now she has left him thinking that his heart is taken by another and hence he does not love her at all. Can he really blame her? When he himself could not see the truth staring at his face, the irrevocable truth that he loved her more than his own life, how could he expect her to understand him? The poor girl gave up her shyness and openly declared her feelings for him in public and how did he react? Like a coward, he ran away from the very same feelings he too had for her. She was desperately trying to save their relationship. She begged him to confide in her his worries, his confusion, his despair. It was he who was pig headed enough not to share his concerns with her. It was he who had thrust her in misery and disillusionment. He could not blame her for the conclusion she had arrived at after reading the diary. Anyone would have done the same, especially if they were subjected to the strange behaviour she was subjected to for three whole weeks. How pained she must have been to come to know of his past in this manner.

He should have confided in her about his past love. He did not, because he felt it was a closed chapter; that it did not have a bearing on their present, but did it really not have a bearing? Was he not shying away from his feelings for her fearing that the past would repeat itself and his love for Geet may weaken over time like his love for Sameera did? Why could he not see the difference between the love he felt for Geet and what he thought he felt for Sameera? Why did it require some hard talking by Sameera to disentangle his muddled thoughts and feelings? Why did he just not follow his heart which was crying out for Geet all the time? His heart ached for the pain he had caused to the woman who had reposed complete faith in him.

He did not want to waste another minute. He needed to speak to her immediately; to explain to her how wrong he was in treating her with disdain; to tell her how much he loved her and wanted her back. Wiping his eyes which had brimmed over with tears, he took out his mobile and called Handa House. Rano came on line and as soon as he identified himself, cheerfully enquired about how he was and how was Geet. Shocked by her query he hurriedly mumbled that both of them were fine and assured her that he was merely making a courtesy call. As the whole implication of what that call meant sunk in, he felt that his entire world was caving in around him. Geet was gone and he did not know where she was. He ran out of his house and not knowing where to look for her, he rushed back to Sameera's house. He banged at her door with all his force and called out her name. Sameera who was getting ready to cook her dinner, opened the door and seeing Maan she asked him teasingly, "So, did Geet madam swoon after hearing her patidev's love confession?"

It is only then that she noticed that Maan's face was death pale. She looked at him with concern and asked him, "Maan, are you alright?"

"She's gone, Sameera", he whispered. "She's gone, my Geet has gone. She has left me." Holding the frame of the door, he slid down and broke down completely. His shoulders shook as he wept uncontrollably, and he kept muttering repeatedly, "I can't live without her, Sameera. I can't live without her."

Sameera, knelt by his side and putting her hand on his shoulder she asked him to calm down and tell her what really happened. Maan kept rambling incoherently and after several prodding questions, Sameera finally pieced together what had happened. Geet had found Maan's diary and read it. Thinking that Maan still loves Sameera, she has left him. She had not gone to the Handa House and he did not know where she was. Suddenly struck by a thought, a petrified Maan asked Sameera if Geet could have taken the extreme step. Sameera reassured him that Geet was not a coward and there is no way she would try to take away her life.

After racking her brains for a few minutes, Sameera concluded that there was one place she could have gone to, her school friend, Sneha's house. Although Sameera did not know Sneha personally, she had heard a lot about her from Geet. Sneha was Geet's friend right from kinder garden. However, after she completed school, her father had taken up a job in the U.S. and Sneha had accompanied her family. Although Geet kept in touch with her friend they had met only a year ago when Sneha returned to India to marry a doctor here. They lived in Malad, a western suburb of Mumbai.

A flicker of hope lit up in Maan's eyes. Rubbing his eyes with his arm, he got up and dragged her up too.

"Let's go now," he said with a sense of urgency. "Let's go and get back Geet from there."

"But Maan I do not know where Sneha lives."

Maan was crest fallen. Trying to find a solution to their problem, Sameera suddenly snapped her fingers. "Wait, I know of a way to get her address. Geet must have written down her phone number in the telephone book in Handa House. I'll get Rano aunty to give the number to me."

Maan looked concerned. "Sameera, if Ma comes to know that her daughter is missing she will be worried."

"Don't worry. I will not let her know that Geet is missing. Just give me your cell," she said.

Maan passed on his cell to her. She dialled Handa House and asked for Rano. When she got her on the line she told her that she needed Sneha's telephone number as she wanted to invite her for Geet's surprise birthday party. As Geet is not supposed to know about the party, she cannot ask her. So she was asking her mother instead. Rano bought her flimsy story because Sameera does come up with some of the weirdest of ideas to celebrate people's birthdays. She searched the number in the telephone book and gave it to her.

Armed with the number, Sameera immediately called up Sneha's house. Identifying herself as Geet's best friend to Sneha, she asked her if Geet was there. Sneha was initially reluctant to admit that she was, but Sameera could make out from the hesitancy in her voice that she was lying. Sameera then explained to her that there was a small misunderstanding between Geet and her husband, Maan, which he wanted to clear up with her. After a lot of pleading and cajoling, Sneha agreed to let Maan meet Geet. Sameera asked her not to let Geet know that he was coming and Sneha agreed to keep it a secret. Sameera then took down her address and handed it to Maan.

"Maan, I think you need to meet Geet alone. She must be too raw and hurting right now. If she sees us together, it will only aggravate matters."

Maan agreed with her and bidding her goodnight, he set off on his bike to bring his beloved back home where she belongs.
