Chapter 2
Lifeless...
Somebody was sprinkling him with water, someone was rubbing his palms..he slowly
opened his eyes to see Daadi maa and Dev looking extremely tense and Nandini was silently
crying. Reality struck him like 1000 knives and he immediately got up from the bed. His eyes
were swollen and were still moist with the tears. He couldnt feel anything at all...he was numb,
totally numb to his surroundings. His heart yearned for the only one who had the power to
soothe its pain. He felt like he was a little kid who had lost his mother in a crowded fair and
absolutely had no idea how to take care of himself or search for his mother. Tears rolled down
his cheeks unable to restrict themselves as the resistance Maan usually had for these traitor
tears had vanished. He was blank, nothing whatsoever could now influence him, no matter how
significant it was. Daadi came and hugged him and tried to console him but he was unable to
register anything, even the tears of pain that was rolling from his Daadi's cheeks. It was 4 in
the morning yet nobody felt sleepy. In fact, sleep had deprived all of them. The whole world
seemed insignificant in front of one heart who alone had the power to bring back the lost
happiness. Dev was consoling Nandini while he himself was inconsolable. Adi and Pinky were
huddling in a corner, sobbing silently.
Just then, the police inspecter came inside and disturbed them. Daadi got up from the bed
and joined Dev who had now approached the police, to ask about Geet. The inspector made a
sombre face and produced a small package he was holding in his hand. Nandini, who had also
joined them, took the packet in an instant and tore it open to reveal a badly burnt blue green
dupatta, a half destroyed phone, a charred handbag and a blue rubber band that was smeared
black. She looked at it confused and suddenly realised to whom it belonged to. She looked up
and met the eyes of the police inspector who said, 'yeh Mrs. Khurana ki cheeze hai na?'
Nandini nodded a yes while her tears threatened to betray her. The inspector continued 'yeh
saari cheeze bomb-blast ki site par mili hai...par unka kuch pata nahi chal raha hai...I am
afraid Mrs Savithri that Mrs. Geet Khurana is no more..'
Daadi gasped and clutched her heart. Dev immediately ran to her rescue and made her sit on
the couch and gave her a glass of water. Tears cascaded down her cheeks and she repeatedly
sobbed unable to control her pain.
The inspector slowly made his way towards Maan, who was sitting as though he was paralyzed, and said 'we are sorry Mr. Khurana but shayad aapki biwi ab zinda nahi hai...' Maan slowly looked up and found the inspector in a very sad mood. He balled his fists and looked down. Surprisingly, he found the tabeez Geet had presented him, still there around is neck..he lifted the dollar to his eyes and stared at it. The inspector who had expected an answer from him again spoke 'did you hear us Mr. Khurana? shayad aapki biwi zinda nahi hai...'
'Nahi...' said Maan..
'Ji?'
'Meri biwi mari nahi hai...'
'Par yeh saari cheeze blast ki site pe mili hai...'
'Meri biwi nahi mari hai...' repeated Maan..
'Par...Mr. Khurana...'
'Aapne suna nahi maine kya kaha? meri biwi nahi mari hai...woh mujhe chodkar nahi jaa sakti
hai' repeated Maan, his voice growing strong..
'Par Mr. Khurana..unki zinda rehne ki chances bohot kam hai...we dont think she has survived
the blast..'
'EK BAAR KAHI HUI BAAT AAPKO SAMAJH MEIN NAHI AATI????' screamed Maan 'KITNI BAAR KEHNA HAI AAPKO?? MERI BIWI MUJHE CHOD KAR NAHI JAA SAKTI HAI...MUJHE AKELA CHOD KAR NAHI JAA SAKTI WOH...WOH ZINDA HAI...WOH NAHI GAYI MUJHE CHOD KAR...NAHI GAYI... AGAR AAPNE EK AUR BAAR KAHA KI MERI BIWI MAR GAYI HAI TO MUJHSE BURA KOI NAHI HOGA!!! SAMJHE AAP!!!' shouted Maan, with his eyes spitting fire and stormed out of the living room...
The inspector looked up confusion and said 'shayad inhe yeh sadma bardaasht nahi ho
paaya...well anyway, hum chalte hai...Mrs. Khurana ke baare mein kuch bhi pata chala to hum
aapko bata denge...we are extremely sorry...' and took leave. Daadi maa looked crest fallen
but made up her mind to go and talk to Maan. By now, probably she had lost her grand
daughter in law but she didnt have the capacity to lose her grandson also. Dev also agreed and
followed his Daadi to Maan's room.
Maan was sitting in an arm chair, staring at a photo of Geet that was clutched in his hand.
Silent tears were rolling from his eyes and the tears were wetting the smiling photograph of
Geet...He was muttering 'kaha ho tum Geet? please jaldi wapas aajao...'
Daadi placed her hand on his shoulders and he looked up. She slowly said 'bete...shayad
inspector...'
'Please Daadi...aap bhi us inspector ki baato par mat aayiye...main yaakeen nahi karta ki
meri Geet chali gayi hai..'
'Par bete..aapko kaise pata..'
'Jab tak yeh tabeez mere gale mein rahegi tab tak mein nahi maanoonga ki Geet mujhe chod
kar chali gayi hai..yeh tabeez ussi ne pehnayi thi Daadi maa...yeh tabeez mujhe bata deti hai
agar meri Geet ko kuch hogaya tho...'
he said, pointing at the tabeez...Daadi, inspite of herself, smiled at the amount of trust Maan
had on his Geet..she silently prayed 'babaji aisa hi ho...please hamari Geet ko ghar wapas
bhej dijiye...please...hum hamare pote ke haal nahi dekh sakthe...'
PRECAP:
Mr. Khurana, please aap body identification keliye police station ayiye
