Tere Naal Pyaar Hogaya
{Part I}
" Suhaag Raat' to aisa hota hai Geet 'Kamra ..andhera, Phhulo sey sajja bistar', Ab to Geet tujhe taufa, aur dher sara pyaar bhi milna hai..' Kaisa lagta hai ab pata chalega..(Blushing now), Saheliyan to kitna kuch kehti thi.. Ankhein milengi aur pyaar apne aap hojayega.. Dekho hota hai kya? (She smiled again). Maine to kaha tha Mera Pati sabsey alag hoga.. Kyunki Geet hai hi Khaas.. hmm woh khadoos to dikhta hai.. pyaar ki baatein karpayega kya? (Disappointed) Ghunghat uthayega phir kya kahega.. Uski ankhey mujhse milengi aur pyaar hoga kya?... chaddo.. ab soch key kya karna.. Ashaa karti hun.. mainu dekh woh pyaar karna seekh jaye.. Ab vyah to hogaya ussiko pyaar karna padega (she explains herself)"
Shaddi key baad pehli raat,
Suhag sej par hum ek sath,
Hongey naino mey ankhey char,
Pyaar ka chadega khumaar.
She looks around while she is sitting on the huge bed decorated with flowers small roses, candles around and aroma is amazing.. the lilies and jasmine flowers making the moon sight beautiful as there is a huge open balcony with breeze making lovely noise.. She sits and wonders about the day which passed and the night to come and set... "Itna vaddaa bed..Itna vadaa kamra.. kya karna hai.. mera kamra phir bhi achaa tha' do meter to pass aney ko hi lagengey unhey.. ussey'kya kehkar bulau.. chaddo janedo.. ab Pati to ban betha.. kismat ki mari hun jo bhi mila ussey apnana hi hai.. Geet tu phikar matt kar teri gal to woh sunega aur jo hokum kahega.. kitni minnat ki to shaddi key liye tuney haan ki.. minnat uski dadii aur mere bhauji ney ki lekin woh janta hi hoga.. "
Shaddi ussey karu yeh tamnna nahi thi,
Lekin bado ki chah arzoo yehi thi,
Socha unpey bharosa kardeti hu,
Khadoos ki takdeer savar deti hu..
Soon Maan enters and is a bit tensed,
She looks at him and covers her face with her ghunghat and sits in the centre of the bed.. Trying to control her excitement of what gift he gives.. He says, " Baat karni hai.. samjh nahi araha.." She replies, " baatein bhi karni hi hai.. Aap dasoo .. main to sunana jyada pasand karti hun.. lekin meri baatein sab ko bohat achii lagti hai.. Tussi kabhi Amritsar gaye ho.. Hamari wahan Salwar kameez ki badii dukaan hai.. wahan beth key hum ittney gappa ladatey hain.." Maan interrupts.. "Amney samney beth kar baat karey.. idhar udhar ki nahi Hum dono ki..Ab to hamari shaddi huee hai." He said in a very sharp tone with serious expression.
She replies, "Maine bhi dekhi, Main jaanti hun.. hamari shaddi hogayi.. Main bhi to shamil thi.. (She laughs cutely and is also shy) ". He gets irritated and doesn't even smile, she wonders he is kanjus cant smile at a joke.. She continues, " Aap kanjus bhi ho.. haskar muskuraney wali baat thi.. itna sanjeeda honey wali nahi.. Jab Geet hai taudey Naal fikar ni koi gal nahi...( She smiles and Maan isn't impressed at all) Kitni baatein seekhani hongi...Dekhiye Hamari shaddi hue.. aap ney abtak ghungat nahi uthaya.. yeh bhi main seekhau kya? kaise amney samney ayengey. dasoo.".
Takdeer mey kaisa Pati Mila hai,
Khadoos, Kanjus aur bevakuff kitna hai,
Shaadi ki yeh pehli raat
Seekhani hogi Geet ko har ek baat..
He goes close while she is blushing and smiling and he uncovers her ghungat.. She smiles and with her big bright beautiful light brown eyes looks at him with all her adaa' she is disappointed as he has turned his back towards her.
She gets up disappointedly' " yeh kya hai.. Aisa bartav kartey hain apni patni sey.. ghungat uthakey, pyaarsey dekhtey hain..aurrr.."
He turns towards her and faces her.. She now gets shy as his eyes take away her confident self and makes her melt towards him and get attracted.. He looks at her and can feel her smile and her face making him to stop what he was about to say and just look at her properly... She can realize his eyes penetrating into her heart making her loose the confidence by which she has always dominated everyone. He can feel her smile and her eyes making him to get closer and just feel her to get that beautiful feeling which would be just amazing he can't describe but can feel something. A wave of breeze comes and makes them to close their eyes for a moment and both get to the present knowing the things they have to say'
Yehan dono ko kuch Ehsaas hota hai,
Dil ke jasbaat dabaney ko dimaag kehta hai,
Akhir Dil kabhi kabhi raah bhatak sakta hi hai,
Ahem aur faydey jaisi baato ko Dil nagawara karta hai..
Maan gets focused with the eyes closed for a moment to understand the looks deceive always.. Know the fact that the girl never suited to his thoughts. He believes in silence is golden and she talks like there is no tomorrow. Makes himself to speak and not lose his self-control, "Shaddi tumhey manjoor nahi thi.. naahi mujhey' "She replies before he could complete his sentence," Lekin hogayi.. Aap khadoos hain.. thode ajeebsey hain..(She makes faces) kabhi kabhi darawney bhi dikhtey ho.. Paiso sey amir ho lekin hassi mey bilkul kanjus ho.. (she makes her face tensed) aapsey bhi achaa miljata maloom hai..' phir bhi karliya.. Dil mera bohot bada hai.. ". He gets angry and comes closer to listen what she said.. to repeat her words, his eyes makes her know what all he is feeling and won't take it... she can feel his angry self'with that.. She stops for a moment but want to show she isn't scared of anyone and says her heart without second thoughts over it, "Jo bhi socha..lekin phir maana theek hai.. shadiii karti hun.. Dadiii itniii pyaari hai.. kuch paya to kuch khoya.. theek hai.. Main aapko sudharlungi.. Chaliye main aap ko achaa pati banana sikhati hun.. Aap uski tension Naa lo.."
Ab jo bhi, jaisa bhi hai Pati mera hai,
Sudharlungi ussey Apnalungi ussey,
Akhir Geet Mera Naam hai,
Mere baato mey Ajata har Insaan hai..
He speaks up, "Main jaisa hun.. I am perfect.. And fine.. U can't change me ever." His eyes are angry at her and disappointed to have her as his wife. She is upset and knows he is much more khadoos than she had felt when she met him once.
He is extremely confused how she could take that so easily.. They didn't like each other, said no..but dadi insisted and were forced to change their stand. Daadi and Geets parents have had a great 25 years family relations. Maan felt even Geet would take time along with him.. and only then they could decide. He now was sure his decision of not marrying her was right.. He is upset with himself and is in disgust why he agreed to Dadi's demands; Have to take the responsibility of this lady as his wife for life' But he had fallen into the trap he knew, there wasn't any way out he knew. It was a sacrifice for him and he felt emotional about it. He married this girl who's words don't make any sense to him, talkative and all of self praise. He said with intense soft emotions, " Pati Patni I don't know.. I need time.. hum dost bhi nahi hai.." She looked at him properly' and as if something was on her mind, hesitating.. He asked with concern "kya hua.. ?" She replied with a very serious and thinking deeply with tensed eyes.. " Tumhey ladki sey hi 'shaddi karni thi na.". and then tries to shrug off her doubt'Nahi mera matlab aa... " He gets furious and is extremely angry how much he was getting emotional and look here what she started to think' he speaks, " Ladki sey karni thi.. TUMSEY NAHI.." She gets too angry and shouts, "Oyee mere jaise ladki akhee duniya vich nahi hai.. mere bhaag phootey taude naal vyah hogaya.." She cribs with disappointment.. and babbles about how beautiful she is and how many men were after her and she had to stuck here in this house with this good for nothing guy .. who can't stop looking at her with eyebrows raised as if he is the Principal of the school and ready to give punishment, he doesn't know how to even look at his wife with love and respect..
Shaadi karlee socha Bado ki marzi hai,
Iss Bandey sey judi Saza badi lambi hai,
Hasna chodo muskurana issey nahi ataa,
Geet jaisi Hoor paakar koi kaise sanjeeda ho sakta..
{Part II}
Maan is upset and feels weird to hear all those comparisons. He speaks "We are married.. have to share this room with u.. U sleep on THAT side of the bed and I will on THIS side..". He plainly takes his night suit and enters the washroom.. She is angry at him and keeps on talking in the room loudly so that he could hear her words, "tabhi main sochu Itna vadaa bed kyun.. chota hota to pass hotey.. jab pass hi nahhi ana to bada bed hi kaam ata hai.. Meri Suhag raat kya, Kismat , sari zindagi waste hogayi taudey naal judd key ' Socha nahi Dadii jo mujhsey itna pyaar karti hai.. Aisa ladka mere liye correct sochegi.. Shaddi key baad pyar hojayega kaha Ammaji ney.. kuch nahi hota.. Takraar jaroor hogaya' Iss sey achaa apney ghar khush rehti.. She laid on the bed in anger, removed one after another the jewellery throwing making loud noise to make him realize how disappointed she is to have him. Maan could hear all her words.. Geet tried to talk to herself, she will live as she wants.. and one day he will have to respect her and feel lucky he has her as his wife. She smiles with that thought and sleeps. While she is sleeping.. Maan walks in and looks at her. She was sleeping innocently, he smiled at the thought how much she spoke in this little time and how much silence now the room feels.. He slept on the other side keeping a huge portion of pillows to keep the distance.
Yeh Ek raat nahi Shuruwat hai,
Inkey bantey bigadtey jeevan ka Aaghas hai,
Ajnabi sey yeh dono ab bandhan mey hai,
Kya koi prem kahani inkey daaman mey hai?
It was morning 6 am. With the voice of Geet, Maan got up from the sleep. Maan had the daily routine of getting up around 6.30 as his alarm would ring but today Geet with her loud voice made him to get up quite early. Maan looked at his alarm clock and wondered with whom Geet was talking early morning. Geet was talking on the phone with her best friend Avneet.
Geet: Tujhey kya lagta hai.. Acchi gayi hoti to kya main itni subah uthkar phone karti.
Maan could understand she is talking about her first night. He gets up feeling she would stop from discussing in his presence. But Geet continues.
Geet: Kya bolu.. Darpok hai.. (Maan gets shocked) Mujhe dekha aur samjh gaya Geet kya cheez hai.. bas bolti band aur samajh hi nahi aya.. Raat ki jhod zindagi dav par hai.. Kanjus khadoos .. unhey apni takdeer pey naaz hona chahiye.. unkey naseeb mey main hun.. lekin samjh tab sakengey jab samajhna chahyengey' (Cutely blames her destiny) Meri buddhi bhrash thi.. jo socha apnalungi.. jhaddo unko nahi to mainu bhi farak nahi pendda hai.. Main apney mey khush hun.. nahi bani unkey saath to apney ghar chaldungi.. Amma bhauji to palko pey bhethate hain..
Aisa nahi ki zindagi ab inhi key sath hai,
Aisa nahi ki inka pyaar nahi mila to jeevan bekaar hai,
Geet haar mananey walo mey sey nahi,
cheen kar nahi Chumkar paaleti khushiyan hazaar hai..
Maan gets up.. Goes inside the washroom and this time bangs the door hard to make her know he doesn't like listening all these. He opens the door again and looks at her and says, " Darpok main nahi Darna Maan khurana Ki fitrat nahi.. sambhal kar rehna tum Ms Geet." Geet corrected him with a smile, " Mrs Geet Maan Khurana.." He banged the door and went inside, She smiles with that bang.. Knowing kuch asar to baton ka hua, she tells her friend, " chal ab main rakhti hun. Phone karti rahungi.." Then she wonders that may be Maan may be having some past.. any girlfriend that may be the reason he is behaving like this. Geet wonders about it as she keeps the receiver down. She speaks," Maan sey koi pyaar kyun karegi? Main to kismat ki Maari hun..warna aisa kuch khaas abtak mujhe nazar nahi ayaa.."
Pati Patni Mr & Mrs Hum,
Ek dusrey ko daratey Iss baat sey hum,
Yeh ajeeb sa khel shuru hua hai,
Shaddi ka bandhan Naam iska hai..
She goes towards her luggage and takes out all the stuff and keeps it on the bed.. Trying to decide what to wear. Maan comes out and looks around the whole bed was scattered with her clothes. He takes his clothes in hand, looks at her and tells," arrange ur clothes there, its ur wardrobe.. Slide the door (he feels she may not know to slide the door). She smiles and slides the door and he is surprised to see the wardrobe is already filled with many of her clothes. He asks, "Where will these(he points at the clothes on the bed) clothes go?" Geet has a huge smile and she says, "mai wahi soch rahi thi.. Aap to waise bhi cupbpoard mey jyada kuch nahi rakhtey.. " This time Maan interrupts immediately.. " NO No.. I will arrange for another one for u.." Geet interrupts, "another one.. tussi dusra dulha dhundogey kya .. She laughs while unimpressed Maan silently shuts and locks his cupboard. ." Dusra cupboard arrange kardunga.." Takes the keys and he goes to have shower. ..Geet smiles knowing how much he was tensed for this small thing. She wonders if any girl has to fall for this guy it may be for his money then she gets tensed thinking, "Hai aisa to nahi sab mere baaremey bhi aisa sochey.. mujhey to karodo rupai de to bhi main zindagi kya ek film bhi na dekhu Inkey sath.. Film ka maza kirkira kardengey , khud hasengey nahi aur dusro ki hasi pe naraz huejayengey.. ( She laughs ) Maan wonders how she laughs and talks with herself loudly.. No peace at all for him.. office would bring that peace he feels..
Dono ek dusrey sey khafa khafa sey hain,
Duriyaan pasand kartey jaa rahen hain,
Dekhey kab tak yunh reh payengey,
Kitna rishtey ko gehra kar payengey..
Maan gets ready and goes to the gym while Geet is ready and goes to meet daddi. Dadii tells Geet she should have a look at the whole bungalow. Geet and Daddi happily chat and walk around. They see the large kitchen, Small prayer room and the huge sitting area, the garden behind with a small fountain in between. From there they go towards the gym area. In the gym Maan is doing his work out. Daddi is proud of the fact that his grandson has a great body built. First Geet is a bit moved by Maan shirtless body but later she remembers all the conflicts she had last night. She walks around as if she doesn't find him that HOT. Maan is conscious of her presence and wants to let her know how handsome well built and rich guy he is, how lucky she is to have him besides. He may not do self praising but she should know that. His face and his look towards her made her know what all he was trying to convey.
Apne aap ka Gungan karna zara band karo,
Apne pass jo hai usko achey sey dekh lo,
Maan khurana mamuli Insaan nahi,
Us key kaayal aur uspar fida hai log sabhi..
Geet smiled and sensed he was putting effort to let her know what personality he is and what great built he has. His eyes were sharp and the sweat on his body was shining. Daddi said, " Geet Maan kabhi gym jana bhulta nahi.. Iski built ko dekh lakho ladkiyan ghayal hain.. Tum un sabsey bacch key rehna." Daddi said these words and Maan was full of pride and knew Geet would feel lucky enough. Geet smiled and replied, " Daddi.. wahi main soch rahi thi.. Innmey aisa kya hoga jo ladkiyan fida hojaye .. doley sholey.. hain sahi .. lekin sach kahu .. jo hamali (mason) ka kaam kartey hain.. unkey bhi doley sholey banjatey hain..rozz meeti intt uthatey hain.. kya unsey hamey pyaar hojata hai. Unpar hum yunh hi fida hotey hain.. " (she smiled and tried to stop her laughter) . Dadi could sense Geet was trying to get even with Maan. Maan didn't like the words at all..he stopped for a while to control his anger and not react , he took the towel and wiped his sweat .. Geet continued, " Inkey paiso ko dekh jaroor.. " Maan looked at her with anger in his eyes. Maan softly came close towards her and said, " Gym sehhat key liye.. Paisa business ke liye aur chah .. Dil key liye.. lekin yeh sab samjhney ke liye chahiye dimaag.. Jo tumahrey bass ki baat nahi." Geet felt terrible with that, Maan smiled while Geet is upset. He walks away and Geet screamed at him, " Aapka dil aur dimaag dono khali hai, but Maan quietly went away as if he couldn't hear anything... Dadi smiled and took her towards the guest area.
Inki nok jhok iss baat pey hai,
Kaun behtar dono mey sey hai,
Lekin ab jung chidd gayi hai,
Ghayal honey ki ati kab baari hai..
{ Part III }
Dadi and Geet sat together at the dining table. Geet told how much weird she is feeling with Maan. He is a complete stranger to her and she is wondering how she would adjust as his wife. She can't take him as her husband. No love, no liking for each other. Dadi tells her to see things & people properly and later judge them completely. She tells her to take her time and later decide on anything. She assures her one thing and that is Maan can never disrespect be it a woman or his granny's command. He is a perfect Gentleman; Maan comes at that time to have his breakfast. Geet looks at him and can't take his praise at all.
Gentleman hai Dadi kehti hai,
Lakho marti hain inpar yeh baat sachi hai,
Lekin kyun mujhe kuch aisa nahi lagta,
Yeh Munda mere naal nahi jachda..
Maan is served Hot Parathas and Maan is very shocked. Geet smiles as she sees Maan wondering from where did parathas came in menu of breakfast. Dadi tells him Geet herself has made parthas and as she likes having them in breakfast all are going to have parathas today. Maan looks at Geet who is cheekily smiling. Maan calls out Keshav their servant to bring for him toasted bread and Dadi feels bad that he isn't tasting Geet's made parathas But Geet chucks in, " Maan Dadi abhi keh rahi thi aap kisi ka niradar nahi kartey.. to kisi ney sikhaya nahi kya Ann ka Niradar nahi karna chahiye." Maan hears it and with helplessness takes the bite of the parathas. Dadi is impressed with Geets tactics. Maan eats them and feels they are very tasty so finishes it off quickly.
While he is about to leave, Geet tells, "Aapko acha laga makhan sey beegoye hue aloo gobhi ke parathey." Maan is deeply hurt listening to the makhan thing.. He realizes so many calories he will have to burn later. He walks angrily ahead. Geet interrupts, Lassi ' meethi nahi saadhi hai' lengey.." Maan replied, " khane peeney aur bak bak karney sey jyada aur bhi jaroori kaam hotey hain' " He walks towards his car and keeps his laptop. Geet asks him with concern, "khaney peeney aur bak bak key siway jo jaroori kaam hai woh kar lo.. lekin bina khane peeney key koi jaroori kaam ho nahi payega.. aur meri batein bak bak lagti hai to lagey.. yeh bak bak kab dil ki dhadkan baney pata nahi chalta.. " Maan was enough with her praise and he sharply replied, " Agar yeh bak bak dil ki dhadkan hojaye to dil ka daura aney sey uss insaan ko koi nahi bacha sakta.. " Geet was upset with that counter attack. She couldn't take someone to win over her talks with just few words. She came inside as a lost soldier.
Baaton mey mujhsey koi jeet nahi sakta,
Geet ko ab tak puri tarah yeh samjh nahi sakta,
Waqt milega aur Palat key jawaab saarey dungi,
Geet ko Maan jaye yeh sabak ussey dungi..
Maan is at the office it's going to be lunch hour. He can feel some disturbance around. He looks through his cabin glass and was surprised to see Geet there sitting on the chair and all the office staff surrounding her, serving her cold drinks and talking with her. Maan first got upset why she came here, later could understand Dadi must have asked her to come and visit his office. He looks at her and the whole office staff, they always were discipline but now had got up from their places and scattered in the centre at working time. Geet was laughing talking and discussing, as she was talking he realised she may discuss about their relationship to them.
Kahin aisa na ho,
Ghar ka bhedi lanka dhaye,
Isska bharosa nahi,
Bakbak kartey kya kuch kehjaye..
He rushed towards her and with his entrance; all the staff people got serious, his eye gaze made them nervous and guilty. Maan held Geet's shoulder and walked quickly into the cabin. Geet looked at him with an expression of why r u holding my shoulder like this and quickly Maan left the grip and told her to be seated. He was nervous about what all she may have spoken out. Geet looked around and said, "Cabin bada hai.. lekin achaa nahi kahungi.. boss ho lekin cabin simple sa hai.. waise aap ka staff bohat interesting hai.. Bohat pyaare hain.." Maan asked what all she told them.. They r strangers.. " Geet then softly said, she was asked about what she felt about Maan Sir and she replied Maan is very discipline but today he ate parathas with makhan so many calories it had, but she made so he had it.. She had seen him shirtless in the morning doing gym and working out sweating.. But with the parathas all that workout had gone waste. They all were laughing listening all that. Maan kept his hand on his forehead 'what all she told them.. What they must be thinking about him. Going shirtless before wife or about eating whatever wife prepares. Maan said, " Kuch aur bacha tha ya U spoke out everything." Geet quipped, " First night' " and Maan got scared, " Kya.. what u said.." Geet said, " First night ka poocha hi nahi.. to kaise kehti.."Maan took a breather.
Bolney lagti hai to rukti nahi hai,
Kya kya keh jaye sochti nahi hai,
Main na rok leta to yehi jami rehti,
Apni sari hakeeqat keh key hi dam leti..
Geet told him she wants to go shopping she is too bored and that Dadi had asked her to bring lunch box for him and then along with him to go shopping. Maan said he would ask his secretary to go with her for shopping. Geet was fine and told," Theek hai, acha hai aap to waise hi kuch batein nahi karogey.. woh aur main bohat si baatein karengey aur shopping. Maan called up his secretary. Maan was having his lunch and Geet said, " Main'" Maan interrupted, " Mujhe jaldi ek meeting key liye files ready karney hain.. clients may come soon.. so u go with her and driver will drop u home. Geet said ok and could see him eating in hurry. The secretary came in and before Maan could introduce Geet started talking, " Tum sath arahi ho .. tumhari shaddi huee hai.. mujhe kuch sariyan leni hai.. Dadi ney kaha Sadi pehanlo.. waise tumhara pati kya karta hai.. Maan sey darti ho kya.. kuch jawaab nahi de rahi.. " Maan could sense Geet isn't giving her any space to answer .. later he thought .. Geet would be with his secretary and what not she may discuss and that would get to the office staff.. He felt it was not a good idea to send her. He had to decide and he told, " I think I will take her for shopping, u take ur seat and cancel my appointments.. Let the clients know I will have a meeting tomorrow. " Geet couldn't understand his change in plans.. but she was glad to go around and shop.
Ispey bharosa nahi,
Kaam bhi peechey chuta,
Ek din mey yeh haal hai,
To sari zindagi ka haal bura hoga..
{PartIV}
As they were walking together. And leaving.. Maan was serious and Geet was smiling talking with each staff member and saying bye.. to each. Maan was irritated but didn't react knowing if he said anything she would make it a huge drama. They got into the car and Maan told her, "I think u should not mix with them so much, they are strangers to u' U can come to the office, it's nice u came today, u saw the office and met everyone. But then I don't like work to be mixed with family. I keep and maintain the distance. "
Geet said, " Menu Ghuma Ghuma key baat karni nahi ati..jo dil mey woh zabaan pey.. aapko darr hai kahin main ghar key sarey bhed na khol dun unkey samney.. main utni bewakuf nahi' Unsey baatein ki, apnapan jataya.. Yeh to farz tha.. yunhi thoda hasi mazak kiya.. kyunki wah Apkey tarakki mey aap ka hath batatey hain' unki ehmiyat hai mere liye.. Mere bauji ney yehi sikhaya hai.. ab wah sirf paiso ke liye nahi ek rishtey ka bhi ehsaas kar payengey.. Unko hum alag nahi hamari zindagi ka bhaag samjhey to hi tarakkki ho payegi.. kyunki paiso key liye kaam kar kar koi wafadaar nahi banegey.. rishta bana to uskey sath apne aap wafadari banegi jo ki kisi bhi kamyabi ke liye zaroori hai.. Wafadaar log jin par yakin ho..bharosa ho.."
Paisa pheko tamasha dekho,
Aisa hamesha nahi chalta hai,
Wafadar aur mehnatparst log miley,
To din dugni raat chaugni tarakki Insaan karta hai..
Maan for the first time was deeply impressed by her words. Truly whatever she said was correct.. Money can play games and u can make a name... But money can never buy trust and without trust business can never have a long term effect. Ur competitors can through money as well lead, but then who wins, its ur hard work and the trustworthy people around u. Maan smiled looking at her, as for the first time he felt her words made some sense.
Aaj tumhari baatein sensible lag rahi hai,
Jo kuch kahan wah baatein sach lag rahi hai,
Samajh raha hun tum utni bevakuf nahi ho,
Tumhey samjhney ko waqt lagraha hai mujhko..
They drove off and she was enjoying the drive. He was wondering about her, He can't understand her completely. Sometimes with her talks he feels she is foolish, childish and not sensible.. and how come sometimes she is blunt but sensible.
They reach a shopping mall and even before he can park the car and get out, she already walks into the mall. Maan is irritated; she made him look like a driver he felt. Didn't even wait for him to come along, then why the need to ask him to join he felt. He walked inside searching where she was. It didn't take him long as her loud voice had already taken over the mall. Maan walked towards her and she showed him what all she is buying, she tried few of the Saris on her and Maan wasn't even given a chance to answer, she herself would say, " kaisi hai, thodi bright hai na.. soft colours mujh par achey lagtey hain.. " Maan would wonder why to even ask when not ready to wait for the answer. As she was busy trying them.. He was playing games on his mobile phone. She had almost finalized the sari and was about to pack it. She fainted. Maan was taken by surprise and as he walked towards her and tried to wonder what happen.. The salesman who was with her asked him.. "Sir is she pregnant?" Maan looked at him as if he can't believe the guy would ask this.. He simply ignored him and tried to see what was wrong with Geet, he was genuinely worried. The same salesman asked, "She may be Pregnant "'he smiled, Maan now was too upset and held on to his collar saying, " We got married two days before.", The salesman apologized , soon water was given and slowly Geet opened her eyes. Geet looked at Maan and Maan smiled at her to make her feel better, he thought she may be worried.
Achanak yunh behosh hogayi thi,
Pareshan main hua tum hosh kho gayi thi,
Chalo thoda sahara deta hun,
Muskurakar sab theek hai yeh baat jata deta hun..
Geet replied, "Aap Itna smile naa karo.. yeh ek shock hai..kahin pher main behosh na hojau.." Maan now couldn't control his laughter, she couldn't stop talking after getting consciousness he thought, He had a huge smile and Geet smiled with surprise.. " Kaha tha.. Aisa na karo.. menu to khabar hi nahi thi.. Aaap ko hasna bhi ataa hai.. waise handsome to ab lag rahey hain aap.. Ghoorna jhod key hasna start karo.. tabhi Main aur aap kuch kuch matching rahengey.. bright main aur dull aap combination bohat ajeeeb tha." Maan just couldn't stop smiling.. she was ON and nobody could stop her. She said, " badi bhook lagi hai.. bhook key mare main behosh hogayi thi.. woh lunch to aapkey sath karna tha.. lekin jaise maine aapko lunch diya.. aap to Akeley nigal gaye.. itni jaldi jaldi.. Ab main kya kehti.. chaliye kuch kha leti hun' " Maan felt too guilty he didn't even ask her whether she had lunch , he had felt she must have had at home . Maan directed her towards the restaurant in the mall, holding her close and both could feel each other's touch but just ignored it knowing for help it is no feelings attached here other than that.
Dono sath sath Pakdey hath sath,
Yehan sirf sahara deney ka hai jasbaat,
Lekin pass aye hain,
kuch muskuraye hai'
{PartV}
They sat there eating. Maan was having juice while she had her lunch..
Geet: Main matching ki baat kar rahi thi na' Aap aur main kaise hain batauu .. main Aaj tak news channel full on aur aap 'Doordarshan, (she was about to continue that Maan interrupted her)
Maan: Meri buraee karna tumhara latest timepass hai.. right..
Geet: Haai.. mera fav pass time to apni taarif karna hai.. woh badalta nahi
Maan knew that was true: Oh.. to office mey kuch aur buraee nahi ki..sirf apni tariff ki hai..
Geet: Nahi aapki buraee nahi ki.. apni tariff nahi karna pada... wah sab jo kar rahey they.. main kya dauhrati.. (she was smiling and blushing as she loved all the compliments coming her way..)
Maan: Achaa maska maar rahey they.. U think whatever they said was true about u..
Geet: Ekdam correct tha.. ab beautiful to main hun hi.. aur sweet bhi hun.. Aap kabhi dhyaan sey dekhey to aapko bhi malum hoga.. Geet kinnni sonnni hai.. (she again smiled)
Maan: Mujhe chehrey sey nahi.. ankhoki sacchaii sey pyaar hota hai.. Chehra kitna bhi sunder ho.. ankhey dhokey baaz ho sakti hain..
Geet: Aisa keh rahey hai jaise ki aapney kisiki ankhen kabhi padhi ho.. Pyaar samjha ho..
Maan: Main kahun nahi.. but I observe things..people.. and my experience says faces can lie eyes never..
Geet: achaa.. Aap key office mey woh Naina hai na.. woh aapko bohat pasand karti hai. Maan looked at her with shock.
Geet: Shocked hai aap..matlab Aap nahi jantey they..menu laga hi tha.. Aapki nazar laptop sey hathi nahi hogi.. bechari badi gussey sey mujhe dekh rahi thi..uskaa pyaar maine cheen liya ho.. ab maine to uskka bhala hi kiya hai' Aap pyaar key barey mey kya janogey.. Aapkey dil ki opening hi nahi huee..
Maan instantly replied: Opening kaise hoti.. Dadi ney advance booking kar li thi.. Ki meri pasand ko hi dil mey jagah dena'.
Geet laughed.. : Wah aap key Dil ki opening maine kaise ki mujhe pata nahi..
Maan replied: Dil ki opening sey itna to hai ki dimaag ki batti to jarur off ho chuki hai..
Geet got upset and said: Hai.. itni buri bhi nahi.. opening tab hogi jab pyaar hoga na.. aur woh to honey sey raha.. Aap vacancy ka board rakh do Dil pey.. Dekhey koi miley to Dil ki opening karalena.. Menu bhi dekhna hai.. Aapsey milney key baad kaun karega pyaar.. Silent film mey love stories nahi raas aatiii.. Love stories mey silence raas aata hai..
Maan didn't get it at all' but did wonder what it meant..
Khamosh zindagi ho to safed aur Kaala yehi rang nazar ata hai,
Koi Sahi to koi dagabaaz yehi farak dikhta hai,
Lekin agar Pyaar ho to rang kuch aur gehrey lagtey hai,
Bikhrey sey armaan nahi nikhri si zindagi lagti hai,
Pyaar ki tasveer kaee rango sey khub savartee hai,
Safed Kaala, jeet haar jhod, niyat aur iradey ki ehmiyat hoti hai,
Ankho mey dekh kar khamoshi bhi gungunaney lagti hai,
Nasha chadta hai jab yeh khamosh mannko bhaney lagti hai..
Geet replied, " Tussi jhaddo 'gal nahi samjhogey' waise honeymoon par kahan jaa rahey hain aapkey office waley pooch rahey they.. Maine to kaha Mujhe kuch nahi maloom.. Dadi ki marzi thi..shaddi huee. Ab unhoney kuch tay kiya ho to..
Maan was in deep thoughts and kept silent.. he surely had lovely plans for a trip to Europe for his honeymoon but with Geet , no he wouldn't.
Honeymoon par Jana chahta to tha,
Europe sath Ghumna chahta to tha,
Lekin Geet to Angrezi mey bol bhi shayad nahi payegi,
Baato ki laddi bandh Europe ko chandigard banayegi...
Geet: Ab aap ko honeymoon ka matlab bhi nahi maloom hoga .. jaa kar kya wahan Antarishk abhiyaan..yani space research karna hai..
Maan didn't like that joke at him: Come on.. itna bhi Main bevakuf nahi.. I know..
Geet: Oyee hoye.. achaa.. batayi ye.. honeymoon yeh shabd sey hi kya lagta hai.. (she felt how would he define or explain.. will he be able to)
Maan: simple honey means honey.. shehad aur Moon means moon chand.. moon' light deta hai night mey and honey sweetness so.. Days where nights have light and are sweet. (He was telling but with a bit awkwardness)
Honey shehhad jo meethas bhardey,
Moon chand jo andherey mey roshini bhikherdey,
Sath uskey roshini aur meethas sey bharey lamhey ho,
Woh nahi ho pass, to wahi yaadein gudgudaati hasati ho..
Geet: Hai tussi itney bhi bevakuf nahi jitna maine socha.. hmm honeymoon ko samjhey .. shabdo mey kehna aya hi... Chand sunderta key liye hai.. andherey mey bhi roshni ka ujhala deta hai' Aur honey shehad meetha hota hai..Lekin usski meethas sehat ko achaa karti hai.. ussi tarah sey wah din pal..jeevan mey sunderpal ho meethey pal ho.. lekin ussi key sath.. Chand akela hota hai sara Asmaan tarey jhod hum uss Chand ko hi dekhtey hain.. ussi tarah..jissey aap pyaar kartey ho..wah aap ka chand hota hai.. aap sari duniya ko bhuladetey hain..aur sirf uss rishtey uss insaan ko nihartey rehtey hain.. pyaar kartey hain.. uski sunderta ko apney mey sama letey hain..
(While Geet was telling she had a beautiful smile and Maan could feel what she said.. as if both could visualize that Love.. and would want that love.. he could feel Geets beauty increasing as her words were' her smile brightens and he felt attracted. Her eyes were going shy and he liked that ' Honeymoon never sounded so romantic in words as it did now.. Geet had stopped describing.. but Maan continued..)
Maan: Meethas sirf Uss chand ko paney ki nahi ussey hamesha ka liye apnaney ki.. Do sey ek ho ney ki' Sirf zism sey nahi lekin Dil sey judkar rehney ki..ussey sab kuch maan bethta hai.. Khushi milti jissey har gam ka andhera insaan bhula dettaa hai..
Geet looked at him and was surprised, he truly said what her heart would also say and feel. Maan looked at her.. and wondered why she was so silent.. is she shocked by something..
Geet: Bohat sahi kaha aapney.. (then she had a broad smile) Mera asar hai main jaanti hoon. ..
Maan knew she won't give up praising herself anytime..
Honey moon ki baatein huee,
Pyaar paaney ki chahat huee,
Kitna Dil Inka pyaar key ehsaas sey machla hai,
Uss pyaar key liye jarur bohat taras raha hai..
{PartVI}
Both left the mall and returned home. At home Dadi was waiting for them. Geet soon showed the shopping she had done..and Maan was sitting. Dadi asked Maan about when he is planning to go for the honeymoon to Europe. Maan looked at Dadi angrily.. he didn't want to go.. Geet replied, "honeymoon ki baat to hamney ki thi' (and she started smiling.. recollecting Maan's answer about it 'Dadi smiled and looked at Maan, Maan's dejected face made her know there is nothing to smile about) lekin Europe .. nahi ja payengey.. Mera passport nahi bana hai.." Hearing this Maan was very glad, now he smiled which his eyes showed not his face. Atlast dadi wont be able to blackmail him into taking her there he felt. Dadi told, she would suggest them to go to Kullu Manali or Goa for a small trip of few days. Geet replied, " small trip.. to theek hai.. aap bhi aaoo hamare sath..wahan ki hawa aapkey liye bhi achii hogi.. " Maan controlled his laughter and Dadi hesistantly smiled and said , "Tumharey sath tumharey Honeymoom pey' aaa (Maan loved to hear what she would say.. while Geet looked at Daddii innocently) Main Aati lekin jodo ka dard hai.. kuch din main araam karungi..shaddi mey hi khub bhagdod hogayi thi." Geet didn't force then..." Theek hai.. aap araam karo.. " She took the shopping bags and went upstairs to try them.
Honeymoon ka trip kya inka hopayega,
Geet key sath Jana kya Maan sehpayega,
Ab tak to lagta nahi dono jayengey,
Dadi kaisey behlayege ab janegey..
Maan spoke with Dadi explaining her that he doesn't want to go with Geet, let time pass he isn't that comfortable to roam around with her as husband and wife. Going on a honeymoon with her can happen when he truly is close to her.. Dadi explains him that Geet has come all the way from Amristsar.. He has married her and she is his wife.. she has left behind her whole family and here in this house there are 3 people living, she is use to living with 13 members.. she may be feeling lonely and its their duty to make her feel good. Going out with him, she would have a little good time and later on she may try and adjust and not miss her family which surely she may be slowly within few days.. that's why she sent her for shopping'
Apno sey door, Humareh pass ho,
Hamey apna samjho, Yeh ehsaas ho,
Yunhi door nahi kiya jata, sath nibhani padhti hai,
Zimedari sey door nahi bhaga jata puri karni hoti hai..
Maan now understood and knew Dadi was absolutely correct.. with Geet's smiling face he didn't even wonder how much she may be missing her family. He knew on the bidaai not only the family but the whole mohalla was in tears and it was only two people who were not crying.. Maan and the driver of the car. Maan couldn't reply Dadii as she asked him, if she was wrong in what she is asking for'Maan agreed and Dadi said to book tickets for Goa or kulumanali soon. To leave by tomorrow. Maan agreed with a dejected nod and walked upstairs...
Chaha nahi saath tumharey chalu,
Honeymoon par tumharey sath holu,
Kuch Waqt dena chahta hun Iss rishtey ko,
Pyaar to shayad nahi kar paunga Tumko..
Maan was thinking how it would be to go along with her, Will she actually want to go.. Is she expecting love from him..On this trip.. Her emotions and his.. What r they heading towards. He was tensed, she has come all the way along with him, she is new here, they r new to her, she would be missing her family.. and he giving a cold shoulder would not do he felt. He couldn't change his attitude, sympathy for her he has.. but love cant be forced upon.. Liking cant be conveyed and accepted just like that' As he walked and tried to open the door' Geet screamed loudly.. Maan got too scared and entered the room quickly he saw her, she was alright nothing had happned to her.. Later he searched down if some insect or something had come.. Geet looked at him and asked, " Aap kya dhund rahey hain..main kuch madad Kardu.." Maan looked at her and asked, " Why did u scream.. I felt some insect bit u or what happened.. " Geet had a braod smile and she said, " Wo main chilla nahi rahi thi. Main khushi sey jhum rahi thi' Dekhiye hum 3 sarees laye they lekin hamey 4 milee...likha huaa hai with 3 sarees 1 sari free' hamney notice nahi kiya tha.." She was excited and Maan couldn't belive.. for this she had to scream so much..
Kis baat sey yeh ujhal padey samajh nahi ata hai,
Issko samjhna bada mushkil nazar ata hai,
Shanti thi zindagi mey yeh tufan agaya,
Apney kamrey mey aney sey bhi ab Dil ghabragaya..
He changed and later took out the laptop and told her, " We are going to Goa tomorrow.. " Geet asked, " Honeymoon par" Maan looked at her and later tried not to look at all and as if he is very busy he replied, " Just to roam around..honeymoon types no feelings I think between us.. but lets go and have a good time." Geet again said loudly , " Honeymoon.." Maan was getting irritated with that word' and he looked at her finally.. and saw her speaking with her friend,," Honeymoon ..haan main jarahi hun, kal Goa.. Sach.. janti hun.. nahi nahi..kal kuch nahi hua raat ko.. to kya.. honeymoon timepass key liye.. yeh char deewar aur panchwa Maan.. Itney deewaro sey sarr ppeet peet ti ghar pey nahi rehna.. masti karungi Goa mey.. Chal bohat packing karni hai.. " She kept the phone and asked him for how many days are they going, Maan replied 3 days and looked at her and asked .. " Deewar.. wall.. what.." Geet made an innocent face as if it was by mistake.. and she said, " Film Deewar mey Amitabh bacchan they Aapney dekhi hai.. Deewar.. naam hi lambey sey strongsey.. Aap waise hi hain naa... aur iss room mey aap main.. " Maan now quipped , " Oh I am the wall strong and tall.. aur sarr peetna what was that about.." Geet replied as she sat on the bed.." matlab.. main kitna aapsey puchungi aap ka sar dard kar raha hoga.. wahi keh rahi thi.. " Maan was surely impressed by her smartness and he said , " it didn't sound to me as if u were praising me, and if I am the wall what r u ' in the room? Geet was excited and told, " Main iss kamrey ki roshni hun, din hotey huee hi meri baton sey kamra jee uthta hai.. Subhah hogayi yeh aap ko malum hota hai.. aur meri hassi sey kamra kitna khushnuma aur pyaara banta hai.. Raat hoti hai.. aur roshni ka rang badalta hai.. Mere chechrey par ki hassi ek muskurahat mey badalti hai..aur main ek bohat sunder sunehre rang mey shant aur sheetal ta iss kamrey mey daalti hun.. " She had a braod smile saying all that.. as if she means and belives all that she said'
Deewar kamrey key himmat ka pratik hain,
Roshni khushi ki ahat key deep hain,
Lekin pyaar to kamrey mey rang daalta hai,
Iss kamrey ka najaney rangeen hona kab likha hai'
Maan smiled knowing she would praise herself anyday.. but her words were not that fake.. isn't it that his day starts with her talks.. He knows there is this vibrant energy around with her presence in this room. Her smile, her face her beauty does bring charm .. her laughter makes them feel there is so much fun joy in the house.
He can never smile or laugh like she does.
While he was thinking about all that she said, " aapko chai banana ataa hai.. to please mere liye ek chai banadengey..woh kya main bohat thak gayi hun' " Maan called and ordered for a tea and Geet looked at him and said," Oh chai bhi banana nahi ataa.. Bachpan mey bohat kuch aapney nahi seekha.. Aap khud ko perfect kehtey hain.. "Maan got irked and Geet smiled.. " waise main bhi perfect nahi..mujhe chai banana ataa hai.. lekin woh filter coffee nahi...jo Dadi kehti hai Apko bohat pasand hai ' "
Maan smiled back with that. Geet continued, "Coffee bananey ati hai ya nahi.. " Maan now started to look at the laptop ignoring her words.. and she looked closer to him and said, " Perfect koi nahi hota.. Naa Main Naa Aap.. " Maan without looking at her replied, " Lekin Perfection hi pasand ataa hai sabko" Geet said, " Nahi.. aisa nahi.. kabhi kabhi adhuri baat, adhuri cheez sunder lagti hai..pasand ati hai.. woh gana hai na.. Adhaa hai chandrama Raat adhi, teri meri baat adhi mulakat adhi.. "Maan looked at her and said, " Mulakat aur baat adhi ho to kisi natijey pe nahi pahunchengey.. mazaa kahan? Chaand adha lekin jab full moon hota hai tabhi to woh sabsey khubsurat hota hai.. ". Geet Interrupted' Chand pey daag hota hai.. aur hamesha rehta hai..lekin phir bhi wah khubsurat hai.. Perfect nahi phir bhi'
Chand pey daag hai,
Sunder phir bhi woh,
Daag nahi nazar ka tika dikhta,
Ehsaso ki leher Kahey jo,
Maan asked her with the intention to win over on this.. "Any other thing which u would say is not perfect yet we love appreciate like.. kuch hai..chand yeh to kehtey hain uss par daag hai.. sach real world mey aisa kuch hai.. ". Geet had a broad smile and she thought over it and went towards the balcony and said, "Jo bohat sunder lagey woh perfect ho jarori nahi.. ek chota sa bachaa agar woh aapka ho uski mukurahat best hai perfect hai.. satisfied hotey hain aap.. agar aap kisi sey pyaar kartey ho..aur kitni bhi imperfect woh ho.. aapka pyaar feel karvata hai.. woh perfect hai aur best hai.. Best perfect ho jaruri nahi.. lekin aap mehsus kartey hain.. Perfect picture perfect smile perfect family.. yeh shabd hotey hain.. jab jasbaat hotey hain.. pyaar umadta hai.. life bhi perfect lagti hai.." Maan walked up towards her listening.. he could feel that.. Yes he loves his dadi the most.. she gets angry with him, he gets angry with her. They have arguments.. they love each other and Yes she is the best and perfect grandmother he would wish for.
Geet looked at him and said, " Aapney waterfall dekha hai.. uski unchaee uska rang, , balanced kuch nahi hota' woh sirf behna janta hai.. Koi waterfall perfect nahi kaha jaata.. uncha longest aur baaki naam diye jaa saktey hain' Woh perfect hota hai jab uskey ird kird vadiyan, pathar pahad hotey hain.. Isliye cheez perfect lagti hai jab ird gird baaki sab bhi suhana ho.. "Maan smiled and said," Kuch batein bachkani karti ho.. aur kabhi ekdam depth key sath.. Tum ajeeb ho.. " Geet smiled and said, " Perfect naa sahi hamesha.. Best hamesha hun.. aur perfect aapko best nahi bana sakta .. lekin best aapko perfect bana sakta hai.." Maan didn't get this too.. Geet looked at the sky and said softly, "Luck perfection nahi dekhta.. Pyaar perfect shab nahi samjhta' warna sari duniya jhagati rehti.. kyunki Insaan koi perfect nahi hota'"
Perfect smile ho agar to kya hasna aajayega,
Bina perfect smile key hasneka mazaa nahi kho jayega,
Best lagey jo Aapke liye khaas hai,
Perfect hai woh kyunki Pyaar ka ehsaas hai,
Bina ehsaas key Perfect bhi bestnahi ban payega,
Ehsaaso ki hod mey Best Perfect pey bhari padd jayega'
Maan too looked at the sky and yes he had lost over this.. But truly he liked to loose as the discussion gave him an easing peace of mind. So much of imperfection and still so much beautiful the world around'
Part {VII}
It was time to go to Goa'
Maan and Geet were ready and about to go. The luggage was carried down and Maan wondered why Geet had two suitcases while he had seen her packing all in one suitcase. He asked her and she told, she is carrying empty one to put all the things she would shop there ' Maan felt tensed how much shopping is she going to do, Dadi was smiling and Maan looked at her asking, "Why are u making me go through this." Dadi with her face made a request to let it be. He walked ahead; he didn't know what to tell her and with the luggage went to the airport.
They both took the flight and Geet was so excited to take the window seat.. She was all smiles and very happy. Maan looked at her face and thought at least she is happy and that's what Dadi wanted, it's his duty to let her be happy he felt. In the flight Geet got friendly with a 10 year old boy. He told her she looked beautiful and he would marry her when he grows up. Maan felt the boy was not behaving his age while Geet kissed him saying she would also marry him if she would be single at that time. She told she is married and chances of marrying him r less.. They both played few games on the mobile and the boy asked Maan,
Boy: Aap ko games khelna achaa nahi lagta..
Maan: I use to play when I was ur age..but no .. now I don't..
Boy: Geet aunty kyun ab bhi khelti hai.. enjoy karti hai.. woh shayad bachpan mey nahi khel payee ..
Maan: Aisa nahi hai.. woh kya hai.. woh apna bachhpan sath lekar hi chalti hai.. she still is a child and behaves like one..
Geet heard and yelled: Maan' bachi ki tarah nahi behave karti hun.. warna Aap sey shaddi nahi karti..
Maan (he said very softly but Geet could hear it): Jyada achaa hota'
Geet to the boy: Dekh Inko khados kanjus aur akdu ka title mila hai.. yeh apna bachpan puri tarah sey bhul chukey hain.. ab budhapa agaya hai' woh nahi khelengey..
Maan tried not to react though with his eyes he looked angrily at them..
Geet smiled she liked him getting angry; she wanted to let him know he can't mess with her anyday.
Mere mey bachpana hai to Aagey jawani bhi dikhti hai,
Aap to buddhey lagtey hain jeevan mey agey nahi badhtey hai,
Jawaaboo sey aapko na haradiya to mera naam Geet nahi,
Int ka jawaab pathar sey doo hum kisi sey kam nahi'
Geet: Maan aap bachpan mey bhi padaku aur bohat ghabratey they na' ..aur koi gudgudiii karey to rotey they naa'(she laughed).. kitna bachhey satatey they..aur games mey to hamesha hartey they' Aap isiliye nahi khelna chahtey kyunki aap haar jayengey Main janti hun' Har jhagdey aur haar par Jaakey dadi sey complaint kartey'(she laughed) Maan was embarrsed yes he was scared of tickling.. he would cry when anybody would do that.. Always complaint to his grandmom when anybody would bully him.
Maan: Dadi told u all this... Geet happy knowing I was a coward in my childhood..
Geet could see frustration in his tone.. Also he was emotional to hear all that..
Geet: Kya hua' aisa reaction to nahi detey' koi baat hai..
Maan was not responding..
Geet: Lagta hai..bachpan ki girlfriends yaad aagayi.. Aisi kitni hongi jo aap ko naa kehchuki hogi..
(She tried to bully him so that he reacts)
The little boy quipped: Aur meri girlfriend bhi married nikli..
Geet looked at him and laughed while Maan smiled listening to that..
Maan: Kaash Tumhari girlfriend meri wife naa hoti..
Boy: yes, to hamesha woh mere sath videogames kehlti aur mujhe bohat hasati..
Maan smiled and Geet asked the little boy..
Boy: Main daant bhi sakti hun..dekha kaisey Maan mujhsey aur meri daant sey dartey hain..
Maan didn't agree but didn't react..
Boy: Lekin daant mey bhi pyaar hai aapkey.. Aap hasti hain to ekdam fairy lagti hain' angel.. jaisey hi apney feel kiya I am very sad aap mere pass aye mujhe hasaya aur kitna pyaar diya.. Main bohat sad tha Goa jaa raha hun apney grand pa key pass .. Family mey property ko lekey kuch problems hain.. sab jhagadtey rehtey hain.. Bohat tension tha kya hoga when we reach there.. Dad ney kaha to talk to grandpa not others. Mere cousins , uncle aunt I shouldn't talk with them.
Geet heard and felt sad while Maan could know how it feels.. The atmosphere was a bit sad..
Geet: Achaa to Mahabharat honey wali hai' Agar baat hi nahi karna to yehan tak ana hi kyun.. unki photo dekh letey ghar bethkey.. Jab aye hain to baat karna hai..aur kuch kuch samjhna hai.. Tum kaho mom dad sey.. baat karunga lekin pyaar nahi jataunga.. Main keh rahi hun.. woh isss baat key liye naa nahi kahengey..
Maan heard her and felt yes he didn't even thought of this way out..
The boy hurriedly went towards his parents seat and enquired.. Maan looked at Geet and Geet was looking at the child. Maan thought he would have no answer for the child but feel bad for him.. and here she had sorted that with a little insight.. even if the boy's parents agree or disagree but she has tried her bit he felt. Maan felt Geet was surely a complex person to understand.. she is childish at times but sensibility in her makes her look mature and good at heart.
Geet looked at Maan and said, " Bachpan aapka .. Uss ka (pointing at the child) shayad bohat muskiloo sey guzra ho..lekin ussey dil mey rakhkar saloo saall woh dard sehna theek nahi.. dard halka karna hota hai..bantna hota hai.. aur phir bachpan ki achii meethi yaado ko jyada pirona hota hai.. bachpan apney mey zinda rakhna hota hai..
Yunh to har insaan dard sey guzarta hai,
Dard liye seeney mey safar karta hai,
Uss dard pey marham waqt banta hai,
Dard sey bhaag wah kabhi nahi sakta hai..
Maan didn't look at her but tried to know what she knows about his childhood..
Geet: Main janti hoon.. aapkey bachpan key barey mey..dadi ney bataya '
Maan now had emotions choked in his throat.. as if he isn't able to gulp it down' though he was trying hard' How could Dadi make her know all this so soon.. he never lets anyone know about those dark years of life, moments which broke him and he had worked really hard to come terms to the reality.
Maan: kya bataya hai Dadi ney..
Geet: Yehii ki aap key Papa ki maut apkey mom key hatho huee.. Aap ney apney ankhon sey sab kuch dekha'.. us samay woh pett sey thi' aap ka chota bhai hua tab woh asptaal mey chalbasii ' Aap apney bhai sey bohat pyaar kartey hain..lekin woh sahi rasstey pey nahi chal saka.. ab Woh Drug rehabilitation centre mey hain..
Maan heard and later without answering anything went to the washroom.. he came back and later on they ate what was served , he didn't even once looked at Geet.. As the reality of his life which for the world was colourful, Geet knew the dark side of it.
They reached Goa and took luggage and got into car heading towards the hotel. Maan was silent and as if gone into his shell totally.
Bheetar dard bhara hai,
Insaan uss andherey sey dar raha hai,
Kahin chooodd usey anaa chahta ha,
Kisi sey ussey kehna bantna nahi chahta hai'
{PartVIII}
Geet looked at him didn't say much.. When they reached the room Geet now couldn't hold what all she wanted to ask' she couldn't be silent for so long.. She immediately said,
Geet : Room mey agaye.. ab main apney aap ko rok nahi saktiii.. aap kyun bachpan ki ek bhi baat sey itney naraaz hotey hain' Kabhi kisi bhi bache ko pass bhi nahi letey..Kheltey bhi nahi..
Maan: Shut up .. mind ur own business and don't interfer in my affairs.. Mujhey tumsey koi lecture nahi sunana.. tum kuch nahi janti, samajhti.. Dadi ney kaha aur bass.. u feel u have got right..no way.. (He came a bit closer and with his eyes wide open) Listen to me carefully don't mess with me and don't ever talk about my childhood or my mom..
Geet: Main baat karungi.. isliye nahi ki mujhe aap mey badlaw lana hai..isliye kyunki main aap sey shaddi kar chuki hun.. mera aur aapka ek rishta hai..ek koshish meri samjhsey main karungi.. Baaki aap par hai.. mujhey samjh hai kya sahi aur kya galat hai..
Maan was very disturbed and knew what all he faced and the way he handled was the right way..He held her tightly and said,
Maan: Kya janti ho.. kya samjhti ho' kuch maloom hai..kya kya hua hai.. Iss bachpan ko main puri tarah bhulana chahta hun'
Geet was in pain ' and her face was showing it was hurting.. but Maan didn't loosen his grip and was getting more violent.. and Geet remarked,
Geet: Iss gussey ke satth rehna achaa lagta hai na aapko..jo aapko aur aapkey sath doosro ko dard dey..
Maan at that time felt guilty and left the grip and was upset with himself.
Uss Dard ko seeney mey dafan kiya hai,
Ussey na jhedoo dard chuta aasmaa hai,
Jin musibato sey main guzra woh bhulna chahta hun,
Naa yaad dilaaoo main unsey phir nahi guzarna chata hun..
Geet: Dadi ney kaha aap nafrat kartey hain.. Apni maa sey, apney pita sey.. Apney bhai sey pyaar kartey huee bhi pyaar jatatey nahi.. Aaj uski halat sey sabsey jyada dukhi aap hain lekin ussey miltey nahi.. Dadi hi aapki zindagi hai.. dosto sey dosti hai lekin hasna bolna' kehlna party mey jana.. aap nagawara kartey hain.. Yeh sab karkey kya milaa' akelapan.. Khadoos kanjus akdu pan..
Maan stopped her and said: Kya karna chahiye.. khelna chahiye khushi manana chahiye..jantey huee ki zindagi ney kya dikhaya samjhaya' kyun main hasoo .. kya khushi milee hai.. Mom dad hamesha jhagadtey rahey.. Paisa uski jad tha yeh janta tha' Kab iss paisey ney Sab kuch barbaad kiya nahi pata.. Dad paisa nahi detey.. mom paisey ke liye tadabti.. Dad paisa apni marzi sey kharch kartey.. apney rishtedaaro ko detey..mom iss baat par bhadakti.. Dad ney aur ek bachaa nahi chahiye kaha tha.. Mom didn't want to abort.. dono ko fight kartey huee dekha.. In a fraction of sec dad ney mom ko push kiya aur mom knew it would harm the baby she pushed him towards the class table and he died.. she was so choked and shocked .. we made it look like an accident as we told the police.. I told the police..She attempted to kill herself but meri wajah sey woh bachgayi.. I called everyone before she could take her life..and the life after that for her was worst.. her mental imbalance nature.. her aggression.. couldn't take it.. Childhood was full of nightmares one after another.. I have seen the way people behaved with her' be it my relatives or others' my grandparents going through hell.. I lost her as well.. How could I play when my dad &mom were dead.. my grandpa was handling the business now when he should be taking retirement... He was making me learn he knew he would also not survive for long.. Dadi didn't cry his son died but stood strong to take care of us.. Dadu died and Dadi had me with her.. she didn't cry to make me strong, and to take care of my little brother..how could I ever smile, dance, party, play' I lived with that fact that life thought me too soon too many things.. I cant .. I don't want to.. My Dadi is my lifeline.. I do whatever WHATEVER she says.. as she stood strong.. she is the pillar on which my life belongs..
What was there to play and be merry?
Childhood was full of nightmares, I want to bury,
There were miseries, deaths and violence around,
I had only my beloved old granny standing strong..
Geet heard and had tears.. Maan was fully emotionally charged.
Geet: Aap hastey to shayad Dadi bhi aapkey sath hasti.. Unhoney aapko strong rehney ke liye apney asooo pi liye..lekin aap to apna bachpan jeena hi nahi chahtey they.. ab tak nahi jeena chahtey.. Khushi hai zindagi mey.. Manti hun jo bhi huaa bohat buraa aur saya iss dard ka kabhi peecha nahi chodega..lekin iskey sath.. Aapko Dadi mileee jo aapko Maa sey badkar hai.. Aapka bhai to aap ka dost bansakta tha.. Ek guru jo aapkey dadaji they.. insab ko sath rakhkar has bol key kuch pyaari yaadein piro saktey they..jo aap ney nahi kiya.. Aapka bhai shayad issi akelepan mey raasta bhatak gaya' Pyaar ko dil mey rakhkar.. ussey naa dikhaakar..naahi jeekar.. Pyaar ko samjh nahi saktey.. Apney aapsey naa pyaar kiya to phir jiya kya?? Khud zindagi sey khafa rahey to dossro ko mehsus hota hai unhoney aapkey liye kiya kya.. Dadi sukun sey kaise rahegi..agar aap unki har baat to maney lekin uss baat sey apni khushi jhahir naa karey' Paisa to kamaliya lekin ussey kharch kar uska sahi mol na jaan paye..
Maan: Paisa kamayaa kyunki yeh paisa hi jadd tha.. har rishtey key bikharney ka..
Geet: Paisa jad nahi tha.. paisa kamjori tha.. aur vishwas har rishtey ki jad neev hota hai..
Maan was calming down and wanted to cry loud telling the sky up to reach to his parents and tell them.. he missed them so much.. and why this happened..
Geet: Bhagna nahi hai.. dard sey.. rona hai..rolo.. chillana hai chilllaooo' main bahar jati hun.. lekin kismat sey haar nahi manoo ..kismat pey jeet haasil karo'
Dard seeney mey jyada der tikk nahi sakta,
Apney ander chupa chupa kar wah badhta jata,
Kuch asoo baha lo,
kuch pal isskey sath bita lo,
Bahalo asuoo mey dard ki agni,
Batoro himatkyunki kismat sey jung hai ladni'
Geet walked out and Maan felt the freedom now to open his heart.. He cried as memories all were coming to him.. how his mother had slapped him for calling everyone when she was about to take her life.. He cried and cried, yelled screamed and then washed his face.. came out.
