BLOOD RELATIONS-EPILOGUE Pg 138 - Page 77

Awesome part. Hope maan will think about whatever geet said in calm mind and understand her.

Part 30

Maan came out of the shower after almost an hour,living his past once again... He changed himself in his usual tracks and vest, he fell on his bed trying to sleep but again, thought of Geet came to his mind... He knew he behaved very rudely with her, but that's the thing he didn't even tell his DJ, who lost her son, know... After Mr. Malhotra came, he created such situations to let DJ believe that Mamta and Raj died in car accident... Since, Sumi too died with them, no case of murder arouse... With money, Malhotra tactfully pushed off the case... Geet was still lingering in his mind...then how did she know all this??? I m damn sure, all this info is nowhere available in police station or hospital... Then,Whatever she is saying is true??? She got my memories due the blood I donated to her... He still couldn't believe such thing can happen... He couldn't sleep now, so he got up and went to his gym to exercise and wash away his stress and think calmly... He exercised for atleast 2 hours... All wet with sweat, body, mind, everything exhausted... He came back to his room, again freshened himself and fell back on the bed thinking that now he could get some sleep, but sleep was far away today... After almost 14 years of sufferings, he missed his mom and dad badly... He needed their help today... He needed to get out of this fight of his thoughts... Then his dad's words, rang in his head,"son, whenever you feel lonely, close your eyes and remember us, we will always be there for you"... He didn't do this ever uptil now, bcoz he knew they were always around him... But today, he needed their help, their opinion on what he should do now... He simply closed his eyes and said, "mom, dad, where are you??? I need you both today..!!!" a lone tear slipped from the corner of his left eye as he was lying down... But he felt someone wiping it off... A very soft hand caressed his cheek lovingly... He didn't open his eyes to see who it was... His face automatically shifted from a frown to a very sweet smile...

-------------------------------------------------

On the other hand, after Maan left, Geet stood at the same position for god knows how much more time... She came out of her thoughts when her cell rang... It was Rano at the other end, asking Geet when she will return??? Geet did not go home after she wrapped up her work at her office... She called at home and had said that she has a meeting and would be coming home late... After that she totally forgot about the time... She picked up the call gathering herself somehow... She told Rano that she will reach home in sometime and disconnected the call... Geet changed her dress and went back home checking out from the hotel...

She reached home in a total dazed mode and didn't even acknowledge anyone... She directly went towards her room... RH and Rano were tensed now... She had been in this dazed mode quite a lot of time in the last few days after her return from Greece trip... They tried to ask but she always pushed it off... Today, they decided that they will make her speak up and not let her get into her shell... Fortunately, Pinky had gone at her friend's place for nightout, so they had full night to make her talk to them... Both of them went to her room, and saw her sitting on her bed in the same jeans and top she was wearing when she came home, looking nowhere... They looked at each other and then went and sat on both the sides of her and kept their hands on her shoulders... As soon as RH kept his hand on her shoulder, she couldn't control it anymore and broke down hugging him completely... And started speaking by herself while crying hysterically...

Geet- Dad, he doesn't love me... What was...was my mistake that...I got his memories, maybe worst of them only... but he...he doesn't seem to understand me...he doesn't...doesn't trust me when I say this... Mene kuch...Kuch bhi Jaan bujkar nahi kiya hai... How... how will I... I hurt Annie and DJ... Do... Do I look so insensitive that I will hurt those 2 sweet ladies...me bhi unse utna...utna hi pyaar karti hu, jitna vo karta hai... How dare...dare he say something like that... I will not forgive him for this dad... I will not...

She was crying and blabbering all this, hugging RH all the time, he was just patting her back and consoling her... Both, Rano and Ranjit were not getting what she was saying but they let her speak out whatever she had in her mind so that she can sober down a bit and speak to them calmly... They didn't interfere at all, when she was speaking... They were happy to know that she didnt confined to herself and shut herself from her parents... They didn't know what she was talking, about whom she was talking, they just let her vent out everything... Soon she stopped her blabbers and came out of the hug and wiped her big big tears from her cheeks and control herself... She had never cried this way in her whole life...

RH- ab thik lag raha hai meri princess ko???

She nodded a yes, wiping her face with Rano's duppatta... Rano smiled and caressed her head to cool her down... She got up and brought her a glass of water to calm down completely... Geet obediently drank it and was now feeling better...

RH- abb thik se batao ki tum kya badbadaa rahi thi itni der se... Mujhe to kuch samajh nahi aaya... Aur kon hai voh jo meri beti se pyaar nahi karta, me uski taange tod ke rakh dunga... RH tried to pacify her by talking nonsense... She smiled a little on that...

Geet- haa, aap uske taange todna aur fir khud hi uska iilaaj kar dena... She laughed with Rano and RH on that...

RH- meri beti ne smile kiya, means you have calmed down... So tell me what were talking all this while...???

GEET started from the beginning that how after the accident she used to get weird dreams with no proper faces... Then how after Maan coming into her life, all that became clear... She told this to the doctor where she was treated during her accident... She also told why she didnt tell them about all this before and at the end, she told them about today's meet with him and how he behaved...

First, even Rano and RH couldn't believe something like this to happen... But being in medical field and seeing all the reports of the doctor and the research file Geet had made, made sense to them and they believed her... Anyways, their daughter never lies to them, so they believed it in a while... RH nodded looking at Rano asking her if he can continue, Rano happily agreed... Whatever be the case, RH has always been a better one to make their daughters understand, ESP GEET...

RH- GEET, ye koi choti baat nahi hai ki vo jhatase maan jaaye... Usse thoda waqt do beta... Aur tumhari baatein sunke aisa lag raha hai ki he has gone through a lot in his past which is only blurry to you and not fully known, so his behaviour could be justified... Ek doctor hone ke naate, mein samajh sakta hu ki tumpe kya beeti hai, but yeh baat aise sabke saath nahi hoti, so bharosa karne me usse thoda waqt lagega,to process all this... Jaisa usne kaha hai tumse vaisa hi karo... If he loves you truly then he will surely come back... Aur agar nahi aaya to mein usse baat karke dekhunga... Ok?

Geet- ok papa...!!! She was still gloomy...

RH- ab aise muh fulaa ke mat betho... Khana khaya hai kya tumne???

Geet- nahi dad, mujhe bhook nahi hai, abb aap log jao...

Rano- aare aise kaise bhook nahi hai... Thik hai poora khaana mat khao... I'll get u a glass of milk vo to pi hi sakti ho... Rano gave no choice to her to answer... She got up n went to the kitchen to get her milk...

Geet made baby face looking at RH but he shrugged his shoulders not falling for her baby face... With no choice left, she drank the milk and sent both her parents off her room...

After they left, she thought on what RH said... Dad is right... I shouldn't cry for what he said... He needs time to process all this... Uska tariqa galat tha, even I don't know what the actual thing is... Agar sirf sapna mujhe itna affect kar sakta hai, then he had faced reality, which would have been more gruesome... She thought back to all the things she planned to do to tell him, but not even once she thought what effect will it cause upon him... This thought hit her now, after everything was done... Her eyes widened on this realisation and she hit her hand hard on her forehead... Oh no, yeh mene kya kar diya... Mene ek baar bhi nahi socha ki yeh saari baatein mujhse sunte waqt uspe kya guzar rahi hogi... I have hurt him again unknowingly... I m sorry Maan, plzzz mujhse jaldi baat karo... Plzzz talk to me soon, I want to ask for your forgiveness...plzzz Babaji, itni madat kardo meri... Me aapse fir kuch nahi maangungi... She pleaded to God closing her eyes, some more tears rolled down her eyes, for hurting him unknowingly... She fell asleep with all the tiredness, mentally and physically too...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A very soft hand caressed his cheek lovingly... He didn't open his eyes to see who it was... He let the touch sink in his soul... Slowly that hand shifted from his face to his hair... It moved it's hand into his hair letting all the stress out of his head and making him relax, kind of giving a slight massage to him... He smiled a bit with that and automatically he raised his head and kept it in the lap of the person...

Maan, still didn't open his eyes- Maa..

That's all he said... He very well knew his mom's touch... He had got this kind of caresses from his mom in his childhood... How can he forget his mom's love filled touch... He relaxed for some more time in her lap, feeling all the tension and confusion running away... He slowly opened his eyes to see the smiling face of his mom...

Mamta- kitne saalo baad yaad kiya mere betene mujhe... Kaisa hai re tu Maanu???

Maan- Maa, plzzz don't call me that... I didn't like it then, and I dont like it now...

Mamta- ohh, sorry, abb to mujhe Mr. Maan Singh Khurana kehena chahiye naa??!!!

Maan- nahi Maa, aap ke liye me hamesha aapka Maanu hi rahunga, bas vo naam sirf aapke aur mere beech mein hai...

Maan smiled full heartedly looking at his mom's serene face... She was clad in a beautiful White saree, indicating peace and love all around... A feather was tucked in her hair just to show her tenderness...

1 more person- aur mere liye kon ho tum???

Maan turned to see who was the other person and a very broad smile crept on his face...

Maan- Dad... He got up from his bed and Mamta's lap and ran to his father like a small kid and hugged him tight...

Maan- aapke liye, aapka bahaddur (brave) beta...

Maan hugged his Dad as tight as he could... Raj patted his son's back very lovingly...

Raj- abb, marre hue ko maarega kya?? Chod mujhe, tere dollonke tale me dab raha hu... (will u kill the dead?? M getting crushed beneath your strong muscles)

Maan left his dad and smiled at the silly joke of his dad...

Maan- Dad, aap Bhagwan ko bhi apne sade hue jokes se pakate ho kya???

Raj- indeed...

Maan- poor God...!!! Ouch, Dad... Raj hit him a good box in his stomach on this comment...

Mamta intervened- Chodo mere bache ko Raj, dekho usse lag gayi...

Awww, mom's love is immense in an act of fun too...

Raj- Mamta, ye naatak kar raha hai... Look he's smiling at my plight...

Maan was secretly smiling standing behind Mamta, hugging her from her waist and his head on her shoulders, Mamta's hand on his cheeks... She lovingly kissed her smiling son...

Mamta pulled him ahead and made him sit on his bed- bolo beta... Aaj itne saalo baad, hume kaise yaad kiya... Mujhe laga tha ki tumhe humari kabhi zaroorat nahi padegi, itna strong hai mera beta...

Maan-mein bohot badi problem mein phass gaya hoo Maa...

Maan again got emotional... Raj was standing near his bed leaning on the bedpost... Maan got up and knelt down in front of Raj, facing down at the ground...

Maan- Dad, trust me, mene Geet ko kuch nahi bataya, mujhe nahi pata ki usse kaise pata chala inn sab cheezon ke baare me... Plzzz trust me dad, I didn't tell her anything about that night at our farmhouse... I didn't let you down Papa, I didn't... (He was now crying like his old self, that 12 yr old boy who cried looking at his dying parents...) Plzzz trust me dad...

Raj held Maan by his shoulders and made him stand up in front if him and made him look into his eyes and said,

Raj- I know son... And I trust you fully... Didn't I tell you, that you will never let me down... I meant those words, my son...

Maan was overwhelmed to listen to his father's trust on him...

Raj- didn't I tell you Maan that don't let ur trust on ur loved ones breakdown so easily... And that's what you did today with Geet, Maan... She told you all these things just to make you believe that she wants you to trust her and then decide your love for her... If she'd been selfish then she would have not told you all this at all, and directly confessed her love for you... But she wanted you to trust her... I know what she is going through and I also know that it's not easy for you to believe such thing... But, she was still giving you proofs to make her point to you... Aur pehele, you waited for her to open up to you and when she did, all that you did was bang her on the wall... Is she some toy to bang her beta... Raj was tlking in a very calm voice...

Maan went deep in thought... Yes, she did tell him to talk to Dr. Nidhi... She had also prepared a research file... Now he realised, how his actions would have terrified her...

Mamta continued further- And Maan she doesn't know the whole truth yet... Those are just glimpses... But now I want you to tell her eveything... For how many more years, you will live that night Maan... Jitna abb apne ander uss baat ko dabaoge, utni zyaada taklif hogi tumhe, jaise aaj tumhe hui... Abb jo usko aadhi baat pata chal hi gayi hai to usse puri tarha se batado... Mujhe yakeen hai, vo Momzie(DJ) ko kuch nahi batayegi aur tumhara bhi boj halka ho jaayega... Hum tumhari khushi chaahte hai aur Geet me hi tumhari khushi hai, beta... Abhi bhi bichaari roo rahi hai tumhare liye aur khudko doshi(culprit) tehera rahi hai tumhare iss halat ko soch kar...

Maan now realised his mistake and sat on his bed...

Maan- Maa, ye mene kya kar diya... Uss bichaari ki haalat samajh ne ke bajay mene usse hi kos diya(cursed her) mujhe Sab much yaad dilaane ke liye...

To lighten the atmosphere, Mamta said,

Mamta- agar aisi baat hai to me Geet ko thank you kehena chahungi ki usne tumhe saari baatein firse yaad dilai... Nahi to tum hume kabhi iss tarha apne paas nahi bulaate... Humesha apna baddapan dikhate ho sabko aur bohot ache bante ho... Sirf hume hi pata hai, humara beta ander se kaisa hai aur hume kitna yaad karta hai... Aur abb shayad Geet ko bhi pata hai ki tum kaise ho ander se...

Raj- vaise ek baat ka credit me zaroor lunga, tumhari choice bilkul mujhpe gayi hai... Geet ke maamle me you have a fabulous choice dude... Agar apni DJ se puchoge to vo bhi yehi kahengi... Kabhi puch ke dekhna, pata chal jaayega...

Maan smiled on Raj's way of talking and also accepted what he said...

Mamta- ab so jao beta... Kalse tumhe bohot kaam hoga ki Geet se kaise baat karni hai... Vo to tumhe call karne se rahi... Tumne usse dhamki jo de rakhi hai ki "mujhe contact mat karna"... (She mocked Maan...) chalo abb jaldi se so jao...

Maan- Maa aap hi sula do naa aaj... Pata nahi iske baad Bhagwan aapko mere paas aane denge bhi yaa nahi... Mene bhi zaroorat pade, ye zaroori bhi nahi... Bhagwan mujhpe itne bhi udhar nahi honge...

Mamta smiled at her son's request and sat down on his bed... Maan automatically slept in the cozy lap of his mom and closed his eyes...

Mamta sang the age old lullaby she sang when Maan and Annie were very small kids...

Mamta- Limboni chya zhada maage.

Chandra zhopla ka baai...

Aaz majhya padasaala,

Zhop ka ga yet nahi...

Limboni chya zhada maage.

Chandra zhopla ka baai...

(Behind the lemon tree, the moon has slept, why my dear sweet baby, is not able to sleep today...)

(Guys, it's an age old Marathi lullaby sang by every mother to make her baby sleep... My personal favourite)

She caressed his hair and cheeks and made him sleep... Both, Raj and Mamta, kissed their peacefully sleeping Maan and left for their eternal journey... Before they could go, Mamta turned back once again and kept something near Maan's pillow and kissed him again and both left halfheartedly...

After sometime, he opened his eyes coming out of the lovely dream of meeting his parents... He turned his head around his room to see if still his mom n dad were present, but there was no sign of them... He shook his head and fell on his bed but something touched him as soon as he landed on his pillow... He raised his head to see what it was and a very sweet smile crept on his face... It was his mom's feather that was tucked in her hair... She left it for him to make a new beginning in his life with Geet... He was now very determined that he will know everything what has happened to her and talk to her and this time, not making any delay, propose her to marry him...

Next day, he got to his daily routine of gyming and having breakfast together... He exercised again even if he had been in the gym late at night, maybe this time to be more determined to get to Geet... While his exercise, all that was on his mind was, how to get Geet back or shud I say, how to get back to Geet... But least did he knows, that she was never gone, she was just a call away... But apne Maan Singh Khuranaji ka alag hi style hai...

After all his morning routine done, he left for office but before going to KC he went to Dr. Kotnis hospital to meet Dr. Nidhi... When he entered her cabin, she welcomed him with a warm smile...

Dr. Nidhi- I hv been expecting you all this while Mr. Khurana...

Maan- ahh, what???

Dr. Nidhi- aap Geet ke baareme baat karne aaye hai na??? To akhir usne aapko bata hi diya...!!!

Maan- Aapki Geet se baat hui kya???

Nidhi- nahi, but she had already told me that she will tell you to talk to me when she tells you about her condition... She didnt allow me to tell anyone before she lets you know, not even her father... She said, she wants to let you know first as it's your right to know it first than from someone else... She has been through this all alone and believe me Mr. Khurana, it's not easy to dream about someone else's life... You may not believe it, but atleast trust me as a doctor of Ms. Geet...

After saying all this, she told Maan everything, what has Geet been through and how all this has happened... She showed him some sites and also some blogs of people who went thought this situation... But well, all these were heart transfusion and not blood transfusion... Geet would be 1st case of such thing... But the consequence was the same, dreaming of someone else's life...

Maan was quiet all this while and just thanked Nidhi,

Maan- thnkx a lot Dr. Nidhi... But aap Geet ko mat batayiega ki me aapse milne aaya tha... Me hi usse bata dunga sahi waqt aane par...

Nidhi- ok Mr. Khurana, nahi bataungi mein usse... All the best to you...

On his way to KC, he couldn't concentrate on anything, not even on his work after reaching KC... He sat on his chair and turned around not to let anyone see the guilt and worry oozing out from his face, ESP Suraj... He sank into his chair and closed his thinking about Geet's plight all this while... Ohh God, poor soul had to go through so much without any mistake of hers, he tought... He was now all set with what is to be done... He called Suraj in...

Maan- Suraj, mujhe TJ ka number chahiye...

Suraj- ok, ye lo...9820******... par baat kya hai, ki tumhe TJ se kaam hai...???

Maan- vo me tumhe baadme batata hu... Abb tum jao... Thnkx for her number...

Suraj shrugged his shoulders and left his cabin... As soon as Suraj left, Maa called TJ...

TJ- hello...

Maan- TJ, Maan here... Plzz mera naam mat lena agar Geet aas paas hai toh... Plzzz Zara uske cabin se door aake baat karo... Usse mat pata lagne dena ki its me on this side...

TJ wasn't near Geet but she still came out of the office premises and spoke to him...

TJ- haa Maan, bolo kya baat hai, mijhe kaise yaad kiya..???

Maan- TJ, Geet ka mood kaisa hai aaj???

TJ- tumne ye puchne ke liye mijhe kyu call kiya... Geet se baat kar lete... She got a bit angry...

Maan- if that would have been the case, why would I call you TJ...

TJ- she is very gloomy today... No particular mood... Beech me hi sad ho jaati hai, beech me hi bohot gussa karti hai... Kuch hua kya tum dono ke beech...???

Maan just thought that something like this would be happening... And he is to be blamed solely...

Maan- Now, just listen to me... I want to meet you and Khanak today evening after your working hours,ie, after 5.30pm... If it's ok with you and Khanak... Plzzz confirm me the time you will meet me... Aur plzzz ye baat Geet ko mat pata lagne dena... I will tell you everything in the evening...

TJ- thik hai mein Khanak ko puchke tumhe msg kar dungi... But hum kaha mile tumhe..???

Maan- mere office me hi aa jaana...

TJ- thik hai... Me Khanak se baat karke tumhe msg karti hu... Bye...

She disconnected the call, had a chat with Khanak and messaged Maan that they will be at his office at 5.30pm...
