"Then I have a fair idea where she might be. Please tell Vicky to bring the emergency lamp" saying this he started climbing the steps, Dadima, following right behind him.
The door of the room hardly ever used which was at end of the corridor of the first floor was thrown open.
And there, She was in his arms.
Part 24
The door of the room hardly ever used, which was at end of the corridor of the first floor was thrown open.
"Geeet"
The angry shout of Dadima brought everyone to the room. Pari, NT, Sameera, Sunny, Pinky even Adi came running hear the shout.
Someone had switched on the light button on the opposite wall.
"Kya hua, Geet theek toh hai na" Dev asked entering the room but was stunned by what he saw
The sight had everyone frozen to the spot. Everyone had only one thought in their minds" how can Geet do this? But the next instant their minds would protest, "No, Geet can never do this especially to Dev and Dadima."
Geet distanced herself from him and turned to face them.
"How could you do this to me Geet? You knew very well how much I love you, then why Geet, why? And that too with him? There was no one else in this whole world. I am really heartbroken, Geet." Saying this Dev left from there.
It took a moment for her to realize the implication of Dev going away. She rushed after him, calling his name.
"Dev, Dev meri baat suno toh. Please give me a chance to explain."
"Geet, trust is the most important factor in any relationship and today you have broken that trust and moreover I did not expect you, to be with that Rahul. You knew very well, I cannot tolerate him for even one second and you know the reason for that very well."
"But Dev, listen to me please. I thought it was you"
"Geet, why should I be there? We were getting married in few hours, I was waiting for you in the Mandap"
"I don't know Dev, I thought of meeting you before we got married, like we have been doing every night for the past one week"
"You mean to say, that we have been meeting every night for the past one week, how can that be possible Geet. You know dadi had banned us from meeting and except for the rituals and ceremonies where everyone was around us, I have not entered into Khurana Mansion. But before all that, first tell me Geet, what was Rahul doing in that room with you?"
"Are you sure Dev, you have not come to the Haveli"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Meanwhile there in the room, every one stood frozen to the spot. None could think or do anything.
Savitri Devi was devastated with Geet's behavior.
"Why did Geet do this to us, Maan? How can we get Dev married to Geet now? We don't even know whether she loves that Rahul or not? What are we going to do? What answers will we give to the guests, Maan?"
"Don't worry Dadima, we will find a solution to this problem. But first let's ask Geet, does she love Rahul and does she want to marry him?"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
There out in the garden
"Geet, why will I tell lies? I have told you I did not come to the Haveli. What has been going on? Did you meet someone else, Geet? Are you in love with him? Did you go close to him? Were you both intimate with each other? Don't stand quite, Geet. Reply Geet. I want answers.
Geet was silent.
She just kept on thinking what to reply to the questions posed by Dev. How could she tell me, she lost her virginity to a stranger and that too on their engagement day? How heart broken he would feel. She could not understand who that stranger was. Why did she mistake him for dev? Why did she not feel, he was not Dev? They had spent more than a week together now then why she never felt the difference? Why she felt so close to him? Why did she feel he was her soulmate? Why did she forget what happened to her Roshini di? Why did she forget the consequences of what Roshni di faced? Why there were no answers?
She remembered her motherless cousin, her Chachaji's daughter, Roshini di. Roshini di had eloped with a boy who was her colleague in the office. They had got married secretly. Chachaji had been furious. Form first only he had never been in favour of Roshini di working outside. He was a person who had very traditional thoughts. Though her baauji had been lenient but at heart he too was a traditionalist and had given Geet a traditional upbringing. Her chachaji had refused to accept Roshini di back in the house and had forbidden her to ever show her face to him. One year had passed and Roshini di had given birth to a baby boy. On hearing this Baauji had somehow persuaded him and calmed him down. Finally he had agreed to meet Roshini di and his grandson. Baauji had been very happy and had agreed to go and bring Roshini di back.
Ma and Baauji had gone to bring Roshini di and had met with the tragedy which had changed the lives all around.
While returning back form a small village in chattisgarh they had met their death. Ma, baauji, titto, Roshini di, her husband and their child had been the target of the naxalites bullets. After killing them, with machine guns at close range the naxalite had burned the car in which they had been traveling.
Hearing this Daarji had a heart attack and had passed away the next day. Her chachaji had been devastated when he had heard about the death of his younger brother and the whole family and that of Daarji too.
The media had a field day about the deaths in the Handa family. They had been very cruel in spoiling Roshini di's name. They had blamed Roshini di for the death of Baauji and ma and the other family members. They had not spared her husbands name either, making him something which he was not. Her chachaji had been a heartbroken man and had given up on life, passing away in two months time.
Except Pari, her chachaji's younger daughter, Roshini di's younger sister, her whole family had been wiped out in just one incidence.
She kept on thinking, where did this Rahul come from? Was he the man with whom she had spent her nights with? Was he her soulmate? She had never imagined anyone except Dev in her life. Why would she be in Rahul's arms? Why did she mistake him for Dev? Was it because it was too dark? And why was he wearing Dev's clothes. But then what about her feelings towards him?
All these thoughts confused her. She realized that by now the Guests would have realized that something was amiss. They would be speculating about the delay in marriage. They would be wondering about the reason for the disappearance of the bride and the bridegroom. And what Dadima would be thinking about her? How heartbroken she must be.
She did not want anything to happen to the Khurana family. She hoped the incident in the room to never reach the media, otherwise she couldn't even imagine what they would do with the Khurana name.
Now only one thing was left for her to do.
