CHAPTER 39. WHO AM I? SONI OR GEET
Place - Khushi's room at Buaji's house
"Haayre Nandkisore! Khushi bitiya! Chalo Tayyaar ho jaao.", Buaji came hustling into Khushi's room. Khushi raised an eyebrow in an eerie imitation of a certain ASR. Humne Jagraate ke baare mein Arnavji ko jhoot bola tha! Toh Buaji kahaan jaane ki baat kar rahi hai? Khushi scratched her head. She stood up and Buaji hugged her. "Arre Titaliya! Tum toh jaanat ho ki tumhaare phoophaji ki ek badi behen hai. Uu ke nanad ke pati ke ghar ma shaadi hai aur hum sabhai ko uuva bulaaya hai. Ab tohaar amma bauji aur Jiji toh Lucknow ma hi hain. Tumko aur humko uuva jaana hai." Khushi smiled. Shaadi? Hey Devi Maiyya! Humein toh shaadiyon mein jaana bahut achcha lagta hai. "Kab nikalna hai Buaji aur kab waapis aana hai?" "Aaj shaam ko nikalna hai, kal hum uuva aaram karenge, parso shaadi hai aur eetvaar (Sunday) ko waapis aana hai. Uu kaa haina panditji ne kahaa hai ki agar ab shaadi nahi hui toh ek saal tak koi achcha muhurat nahi hai. Isliye jaldbaazi mein shaadi ho rahi hai." Khushi smiled at the thought of enjoying a wedding when her smile froze. Sunday tak! Aur aaj Guruvaar (Thursday) hai. Yaani ki humein Arnavji ko dekhe baghair teen din rehna hoga. Aur upar se aaj bhi nahi mile. Nahi! Hum nahi seh paayenge. Maana ki hum aaj unse sharam ke maare na mil paaye. Par aaj kal mein hum himmat kar hi lenge. Par itne din unhein na dekhe baghair rehna! Namumkin! "Buaji humein aana hoga?" Her Buaji who was removing a big suitcase from above the cupboard for Khushi turned around. "Ka baat hai titaliya? Aisan kaahe pooch rahi ho? Tumka toh shaadi-byaah mein jaana bahut pasand haina? Toh ab ka huva?" Khushi rattled her head as she thought of what to reply to Buaji. Hum inhein kaise samjhaayein ki humein pyaar hua hai! Buaji ko pata chala toh woh toh humein Lucknow bhej dengi do minute mein aur agle din humaari shaadi bhi karwa dengi us Gopikishan se! Gopikishan was a relative of Bua who liked Khushi a lot but Khushi did not like him. Arre! Arnavji kahaan aur woh Gopikishan kahaan! Agar Arnavji Salman Khan hai toh woh Gopikishan Paresh Rawal! But unfortunately Buaji liked Gopikishan and wanted Khushi to marry him. Buaji ki pasand bhi ek dum ghatiya hai! She made a face as she realized that she would meet Gopikishan in the marriage too. Ek aur bahaana na jaane ka! As Khushi was thinking she noticed Bua's confused face. Hum inhein kya bolein? Suddenly an idea struck her head. Humne yeh pehle kyun nahi socha? "Humaare Office mein itni aasaani se chhutti nahi milti, Buaji! Ek mahine pehle arji deni padti hai, do din se jyaada ki chhutti ke liye." That one thing was true at KC. Buaji sighed, "Matlab tum naahi aaogi?" Khushi shook her head while making her face seem miserable. Ofcourse, mann mein laddu phoot rahe the!
"Par hum tumko yahaan kaise chodke jaayein bitiya? Raat bhar akele kaisan rahogi? Uu bhi itne din. Na na! Hum tumko akele chodke naahi jaa sakat hai.", Buaji informed Khushi. Khushi sighed, Bua was right. Even she was not sure of living here alone. Suddenly she smiled, "Hum Shantivan mein rahenge! Anjaliji, Naani, Akashji ke saath!" Khushi giggled as her brain gave her ideas of spending time with the Raizadas. Aur wahaan toh Anjaliji ke Chote bhi hain! Chote toh bachche hain! Unke saath khelte khelte kab waqt beeth jaayega pata bhi nahi chalega! She smiled as she daydreamed about playing hide and seek with a small kid. But Buaji put a stop to all her dreams and ideas, "Naahi tum wahaan nahi reh sakat ho!" "Par kyun Buaji?" Khushi pouted. "Kyunki woh tumhaare Jiji ka honewaala Sasural hai! Wahaan jaakar aise rehna achchi baat nahi hai! Payaliya ki shaadi ke baad jitna rehna hai rehlo! Par ab naahi! Hum jaante hain ki woh khud chaahte hain ki tum wahaan raho aur woh bahut achche log bhi hain par humein theek nahi lagta Bitiya!" Khushi sighed, again Buaji was right! It is not good to impose on her sister's family. If she did something wrong, her sister's wedding might be in jeopardy. Even if the Raizadas were good people and won't cancel the marriage just because of her antics, it is better to be cautious.
Khushi wondered what to do next. Hum ab kahaan jaayein? Arnavji! Nahi, kisi paraaye mard ke saath Buaji humein jaane nahi dengi! Suddenly an idea came into her head, "Soniji!" "Kaun?", her Buaji questioned. "Buaji, woh humaari saheli jiske saath hum baarish mein bheege, pakode bana ke khaaye! Hum unke ghar gaye toh?" Khushi did not tell her Buaji that it was her Boss's house too. Or else she would have no option but to attend the marriage. Gopikishan's face flashed through her mind and she cringed. Nahi! Buaji ko pataana hi hoga! She looked at her Buaji. Buaji thought for a minute then smiled, "Uu se tum baat kari lo. Agar woh haan kahe toh tum uu ke ghar ma chali jaana." Khushi smiled and dialed Soni's number from her mobile.
Place - Khurana Mansion
Dadi was sitting with NT in the living room discussing about the latest gossip in the high society circles. Maan was sitting with Dev discussing about some project looking at a file in front of them. Suddenly, Soni entered the room with a squeal. She ran from the top of the stairs to the sofa in the living room with a phone in her hand and a smile on her face and landed right beside Dadima. While Dev, NT and Dadi were amused, Maan was worried about her health. Agar seediyon se gir gayi toh? Before he could shout at her, she started talking in a full speed which poor Maan could not understand. It seemed Dadima could not understand either. "Soni beta, aaraam se. Aise bolo ki hum aapki baat samajh sakhe!" NT and Dev laughed while Maan smiled. Soni blushed and spoke, "Dadima, woh humaari saheli Khushi, woh yahaan apne Buaji ke saath rehti hai. Par uski Buaji abhi kuch dinon ke liye baahar jaa rahi hai aur tab tak use rehne ke liye jagah chaahiye!" Dadima looked at her questioningly. "Aap kiski baat kar rahi hai, beta?" "Khushi!" Maan rolled his eyes. Ek Miss. Bak-Bak kya kam hai joh doosri bhi aa rahi hai! "Arre! Yeh wahi haina jise humne Maan ki Secretary ka job diya tha.", Dadima enquired and Soni nodded. Dadima looked at Maan enquiringly. She knew NT and Dev won't mind a guest but Maan was a different question. Maan nodded subtly. Dadima turned towards Soni and nodded. Soni grinned at her and started talking in the phone in her hand. "Haan! Khushi, tum aa jaao." After few minutes, "Kya? Ek minute poochke bataati hoon."
Soni looked at Dadi. "Woh Khushi ki Bua chaahti hai ki hum Khushi ko wahaan se pick up karein. Woh kya haina, raat ko wahaan rickshaw nahi milti aur Buaji ek baar mujhse milke tasalli bhi karna chaahti hai. Woh kabhi mujhse mili nahi na, isliye!" Dadima smiled at her. "Ek kaam kariye beta, aap ghar ka koi car le jaayiye aur unki Bua se milke unhein pick up bhi karlijiye. Tab tak hum unke liye ek kamra bhi tayyaar kar lete hai." Soni shook her head. "Dadima, kya woh mere kamre mein reh sakti hain? Please. Mujhe uske saath bada mazaa aata hai!" Dadima smiled and nodded her head. Soni grinned and conveyed to Khushi that she was coming to her house to pick her up and took down her address.
Place - Buaji's house at Laxminagar
Khushi giggled excitedly as she and Buaji stood at the doorstep waiting for Soni to arrive. Buaji sighed. "Haayre Nandkisore!" Khushi clutched the bag in her hand tightly. She had already packed her bag and was ready to run the moment Soni arrived. Buaji sighed and Khushi huffed. Ek aur baar yeh Buaji Haayre Nandkisore boli toh hum Devi Maiyya se kahenge ki inke Nandkisore se inhein daant lagwaayein! She pouted and glared at her Buaji! Right at the time Buaji opened her mouth to say Haayre Nandkisore again, Soni's car arrived. Soni got down the car excitedly and ran towards Khushi. Khushi met her halfway and they both hugged each other happily. Buaji looked at Soni from head to toe. Kapde se toh sanskari lagti hai! Soni saw Buaji and bent down to take her aashirwaad. "Pairi Pauna Buaji!" Buaji smiled happily. "Jiyat raho Bitiya! Aao aao andar aao! Ghar ma pahli baar aayi ho! Kuch khaake jaao!" Khushi smiled and nodded her head but Soni shook her head with a frown on her face. "Nahi Buaji! Bohot raat ho gayi hai! Jyaada der ghar se baahar rahoongi toh gharwaalein daantenge! Phir kabhi!" She was right. Maan had almost threatened her to come home immediately after picking Khushi up. Hey Babaji! Yeh Maan kya Mujhe aur Khushi ko chhote bachche samajhte hain! Buaji smiled and nodded her head. Even she had to catch the night bus to Lucknow. Both the girls giggled and set off. They started talking nonstop the moment they turned towards the car. Buaji looked at the girls in astonishment at the speed they spoke. Haayre Nandkisore! Ek Sanka Devi ka kam thi joh ek aur bhej diya! She shook her head and walked off into the house.
Place - Khurana Mansion
Khushi reached the Khurana Mansion and met the remaining Khurana family members. NT had hugged both the girls and giggled happily while Dev had rolled his eyes. Maan looked at Khushi taking Dadi's aashirwaad and all four ladies giggling at some quip NT had said and looked up towards heaven. Hey Babaji! Aapne NT aur Dadi jaise do drama queen meri life mein bheja maine jhel liya. Soni ko meri zindagi mein bheja main khush hua. Par ab chaar-chaar Drama Queens! Kyon meri jaan lene pe tule ho Babaji! He shook his head. Maan Beta! Ab tere achche din gaye! Soon, Khushi followed Soni to her room with NT at their heels. They all giggled happily and chatted around till Dinner time came.
The whole family reached Dining table and Soni went into kitchen to serve all. Khushi was about to get up to help her and when NT pulled her and made her sit. When Khushi looked at her questioningly, NT replied, "Ab tamasha dekho." She passed on the popcorn to Khushi who looked at the popcorn and at NT, then took the popcorn with a smile on her face. She knew enough about NT by now to know that something fun was about to happen. NT looked at Maan's face where a smirk rested. NT smiled as she realized that they were either going to see romance or a comic fight. She looked up and prayed to Babaji. Please Babaji! Aaj ek achcha sa fight dikhaado! Hum sab romance dekh kar bore ho gaye hain! Ab thoda jhagda ho jaaye! It seemed Babaji had heard her wish and decided to grant it!
Soni entered the room with a smile on her face and a plate of rotis made out of Corn flour in her hand. She served all of them and sat down beside Khushi to eat. All ate the Makke Di Roti with Sarso da Saag (Mustard Curry) and praised Soni's cooking. Khushi, who was well versed with only Lucknowi dishes insisted that Soni teach her few Punjaabi dishes along with this one. Once, the main course was over the tamasha began. Soni had bought some icecreams while picking up Khushi and brought them out of kitchen to serve it. She thought that having a guest over was a good occasion to have them. But poor Soni! She forgot that Maan Singh Khurana, her fianc, was very overprotective regarding her safety and health. Maan looked at Soni and raised an eyebrow. He controlled his anger and spoke in a calm voice, "Yeh sab kya hai, Soni? Yeh Ice cream?" Soni rolled her eyes. Phitte Mooh Tera, Soni! Tu ice cream lene se pehle ek baar bhi tere Bodyguard ke baare mein nahi socha! She sighed. "Woh Khushi yahaan rehne aa rahi hai toh uss Khushi mein main yeh le aayi. Aap khaayenge?" Oye Ghadhi! Yeh kya poochliya? Ek toh inki ijaazat ke baghair baahar se kuch le aayi aur unse hi jabaan lada rahi hai! Ab toh yeh Sher Khan jaroor bhadkega! And she was right! "Soni! Maine ek baar tumhein kya icecream khila diya tum bhool gayi ki tum bimaar ho?", Maan roared at her. Suddenly, Soni felt angry. Arre! Bimaar toh aise bol rahe hain jaise Mujhe Cancer hai ya main marne waali hoon! "Arre! Itni bhi bimaar nahi hoon. Aur uss haadse ko hue arsaa hogaya aur aap abhi bhi ghabraa rahe hain. Aap na mujhpe jyaatti kar rahe ho. Aap na Hitler jaisi harkat kar rahe ho." Khushi stifled her giggles. Waah! Hitler! Humaare aur Soniji ke khayaalat kitne milte-julte hain! Lage raho Soniji! NT looked at her and winked. She ate her popcorn and Khushi understood why NT handed her the popcorns. She popped few into her mouth and gave full attention to Maan And Soni's fight. Hey Devi Maiyya! Yeh koi film se kam nahi hai! Aur jhagde ki topic toh humein Bodyguard picture ki yaad dilaadi. MK Sir ke dole-shole Salmanji se kam nahi aur Soniji bani Kareena! Haaye! Khushi again had to control her giggles.
"Hilter! Main tumhein Hitler dikhta hoon?", Maan shouted at Soni as he stood up from his seat and faced her. "Aur nahi toh kya? Har waqt aap hokum chalaate ho. Yeh mat khao, woh mat khao. Arre! Aise thodi na chalta hai. Aur main toh theek bhi ho gayi hoon. Aap hi hain jo panic kiye jaa rahe hai. Aapka bas chale toh aap mujhe mere kamre mein lock karke rakh denge.", Soni shouted back while standing toe to toe with him.
"Achcha?"
"Jee Haan!"
"You know what! Mujhe sach mein tumhein lock karna chaahiye. Uss din subah behosh hokar giri aur dopahar ko baarish mein bheeg rahi thi. Paagal ho kya tum?"
"Aap uss din ki baat aaj kyun nikaal rahe hain? Aap aaj ki baat kijiye."
"Achcha ji! Main sach bolun toh baat ko taal rahi ho, us din ki baat kehke. Yeh achcha hai! Tum na ek number ki Nautanki ho!"
"Rehne dijiye! Aap bhi kisi shaitaan se kam nahi! Pal mein tola, pal mein maasha! Kabhi Dr. Jekyll jaise achche aur kabhi Hyde jaise shaitaan. Kuch dino pehle bade romantic style mein Mujhe Ice cream khilaa rahe the. Aur ab mujh par bhadak rahe hain."
"Ek Minute! Ab kaun puraani baatein nikal raha hai?"
"Aapne pehle nikaala tha, isliye maine bhi nikaala."
"Dekho Soni, jo kuch bhi ho tum aaj Ice cream nahi kha rahi!"
"Main kha rahi hoon!"
"Nahi Kha rahi!"
"Kha rahi hoon!"
"Nahi!"
"Haan!"
"Nahi!"
"Haan!"
"Nahi!"
"Haan!"
"Nahi!"
"Haan!"
"Nahi!"
"Haan!"
NT and Khushi were leaning on to each other laughing their heart out while Dadi was smiling and Dev was about to fall of from his chair due to nonstop laughing. "Bas karo Maan beta! Khaane do uss bechaari ko!", Dadima spoke with a smile. "Yeh! Bechaari! Dadima ise bechaari bolo mat! Iski bholi shakal pe mat jaao. Yeh bohot shaatir hain.", Maan spoke up. Soni took advantage of Dadi's sympathy and pouted. She ran to Dadi and sat in front of her. She took Dadima's hands into hers and spoke, "Dekhiye na Dadima! Mujhe ice cream ka ek nivaala bhi khaane nahi dete." NT sighed, "Veerji, khaane do na!" Khushi also agreed, "Haan! Veerji! Humaara matlab hai, MK Sir, Soniji ko khaane do na!" Dadima looked at him sadly as if he had done a grave sin. Maan rolled his eyes but nodded. Soni excitedly took the icecream and all the three girls started eating it happily. Maan looked heavenwards. Chaaron Drama Queens ko mere hi ghar bhejna tha! Ab Angel aur Nani ki kami hain! Pata nahi Akash ki sagaai mein kya hoga jab saare Drama Queens ek hi chhat ke neeche honge!
Place - Outside Khurana mansion
After dinner, Khushi had dragged Soni outside for a walk. As Khushi was with Soni, Maan allowed her to go. When Khushi had suggested walking out of the gates, Soni had refused but relented on Khushi's persistence. So, there they were; both the girls walking by the road which was totally dark except for the moonlight. They made sure that they remained closer to the house though. "Waise Soniji, manna padega aap kya jhagda karti hain? Woh bhi MK Sir jaise sher ke saath!" Soni shook her head. "Woh sher hain toh kya hua, main bhi Punjaab ki sherni hoon." Soni looked at her with a look of arrogance and both the girls burst out laughing. "Par ek baat toh hai. Woh aapse bahut pyaar karte hain, warna aapki tabiyat ke liye itne pareshaan nahi hote." Soni nodded but blushed and looked away. Khushi sighed and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, she noticed two stars shining. She smiled. Her parents! She stood there not noticing that Soni had walked ahead. After few minutes, she came out of her thoughts and turned to tell Soni about her parents only to notice Soni gone. "Soniji?"
Place - A bit far off from Khurana Mansion
Soni tried to push the hand covering her mouth as she was dragged towards a secluded area. She tried to push the person away but it did not seem possible. Her kidnapper placed her on a stack of hay nearby and she looked at him properly. He looked like he was in his forties. He tried to hug her but she pushed him away. He tried to touch her cheek but she moved back. "Meri bachchi! Kaisi hai tu?" Soni's heart stopped as his voice penetrated her ears. Why did the voice seem so familiar? "Woh log keh rahe the ki tu sab kuch bhool gayi hai par Mujhe vishwaas nahi hua! Par lagta hai yeh sach hai!" The man had tears in his eyes. Soni looked at him in shock. Why she felt that this man would never hurt her? The old man sighed. "Kaun keh rahe the?" Soni whispered but the man heard. He looked at her and replied, "Kuch dino pehle tujhpar kisine banduk taani thi na, unhein maine baat karte suna ki tu sab kuch bhool chuki hai aur unhonein toh tera pata bhi laga liya ki tu kahaan rehti hai! Jaise hi tera pata chala main turant yahaan aa gaya. Bohot din se iss ghar ke chakkar kaatt raha hoon tujhse milne ke liye! Tu sambhaalke rehna aur ghar se baahar akele mat nikalna!" "Lekin aap kaun hai?" "Main tera pappaji hoon puttarji." Soni looked at him in shock. Maan had told her that she had no family. But why did she feel like hugging him? Maybe, Maan did not know about it. Suddenly, he thrust a bag into her hands. "Betaji, ismein bank account ke details hain jismein kuch paise hain joh maine tere vyaah ke liye jode rakhe the aur tumhaare saare padhaai ke certificates bhi hain. Tum apni College ki aakhri saal Dilli mein kar lena. Chandigarh waapis mat jaana. Woh tujhe maar daalenge. Aur apne gaao Hoshiarpur mein toh kabhi kadam bhi mat rakhna! Aur ismein jo taweerein hain unhein gaur se dekhna aur inmein se koi bhi tere saamne aaya toh tu wahaan se bhaag jaana! Humaare pariwaar waalon pe bhi bharosa mat karna. Samjhi!" She nodded her head in confusion. Who is trying to kill her? "Ismein kuch tasweerein bhi hai. Jab teri maa ko pata chala ki tu sab kuch bhool chuki toh usne yeh tasweerein bhijwa di taaki shaayad tujhe kuch yaad aa jaaye!" Suddenly, they heard someone walking nearby. The man looked around in worry. He hugged her tight and kissed her forehead. She smiled sadly at him. "Apna khayaal rakhna Geet puttar." Soni looked at him in shock. "Geet?" The man was gone before she could ask anymore. Suddenly, the footsteps came closer and she saw Khushi. She stood up and Khushi ran and hugged her. "Aap kahaan thi? Hum kitna darr gaye the. Ab aap ghar chaliye!"
Place - Soni's room at Khurana Mansion
Khushi looked at Soni in shock as Soni told her about her father. Both girls were shocked at what they had discovered. "Par aap toh anaath hain, haina?" Khushi looked at Soni in confusion. "Wahi toh Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha hai! Agar main anaath hoon toh woh aadmi kaun tha aur agar main anaath nahi hoon toh Maan ne mujhse jhoot kyun kahaan?" Khushi shrugged and then noticed the bag. "Ismein kya hai?" Soni told her about what her father had told her. They opened the bag to come across a bank account passbook and some details written in a paper. They kept it aside. Khushi pulled out a photo out of it only to drop it in shock. Soni looked at questioningly and picked up the photo. Even she was shocked. It was her photo but what shocked her was that below the photo a name was written, "Geet Handa!" They looked at each other again and dove through all the certificates. All of them had the same name 'Geet Handa'. Soni saw her 10th standard certificate, her 12th standard certificate, her id card of her college and her four years' mark sheet. There was her birth certificate, her school leaving certificate; all with her photo but the name mentioned was Geet Handa. There were even books which they realized were of her earlier college years and some files filled with projects. The certificates claimed the girl studying was in her final year of B. Arch. But everything suggested that the things were of some girl called Geet Handa. Suddenly a horrifying thought crossed Soni's mind. She voiced it to Khushi, "Main agar Geet Handa hoon toh Soni Chaudhary kaun hai?" Khushi looked at her appalled. She gathered her thoughts and tried to console Soni, "Yeh Geet aur koi hogi! Aapki hamshakal! Haan! Yahi theek lag raha hai! Aapki hamshakal jiska naam Geet hoga. Yeh uske bauji honge aur aapko galti se Geet samajh liya hoga!" Khushi spoke up cheerfully trying to cheer Soni. But Soni still remained sad, "Nahi! Mera dil kehta hain ki woh mere pappaji hi hain! Aisa lag raha tha jaise main unhein barson se jaanti hoon! Lagta tha jaise woh mere apne hain. Aur agar main Geet nahi hoon toh Mujhe architecture ke baare mein itna kaise maaloom hua ki kal maine Maan ki itni madat kardi! Unhonein toh kahaa tha ki koi Junior Architect bhi us project par perfect kaam nahi kar sakta! Phir maine itni aasaani se kaise woh design bana diya! Aur in certificates se lagta hai ki yeh Geet Handa ek topper hai joh aise design bana sakti hai. Aur iske handwriting! Yeh bilkul meri handwriting jaisi kyun hai? Aur sabse badi baat, yeh naam Geet se Mujhe itna apnepan kyun lag raha hai joh maine kabhi Sonia se nahi mehsoos hua? Jab Maan ne bataaya ki mere poora naam Sonia Chaudhary toh Mujhe kuch bhi mehsoos nahi hua par jab bhi main Geet yeh naam sunti hoon ya padhti hoon toh yeh naam apna sa lagta hai! Yeh sab kya hai Khushi? Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha!" Khushi sighed. "Aap ek kaam kijiye! Aap so jaayiye aur kal MK Sir se iss baare mein baat kar lijiye! Shaayad unke paas koi jawaab ho!" Soni nodded and both went to sleep. But sleep was the last thing in their mind.
Soni was running behind a young girl calling her, "Rajji! Rajji! Ruk jaa!" But the girl did not stop. They were running in the rice fields. The girl named Rajji turned, showed Soni her tongue and ran away. Soni followed her when they both were stopped by a man. Soni felt fear grab her. "Brij Veerji!" The man glared at them and told them get back to the house. "Ladkiyaan aise khule aam gaao mein bhaaga nahi karti! Lagta Chandigarh jaakar tere sanskaar bigad gaye hain, Geet. Andar jaa!" Both the girls gulped and ran into the house. Soni woke up in shock and put on the lights. Khushi also woke up and looked at her. Soni drank some water. What was that dream? Who was Brij and who was Rajji? And did the man call her Geet? Khushi shook her shoulders and Geet told her everything she saw in the dream. Khushi got up and started pacing. "Sapne se toh yahi lagta hai ki aap Geet ho!" She rummaged through the bag which the man had given to Soni. Soni looked at her. She removed some photos from the bag and showed it to Soni. Soni stood up from the bed and went near Khushi. They looked through it when Soni picked up a photo in which two people were standing with her. "Yeh hai Brij aur Rajji jinhein maine apne sapne mein dekha tha." They looked at the back of the photo where Brij Veerji and Rajji were written. They looked at each other in shock. "Par maine toh pehle kabhi inhein dekha hi nahi!" "Phir toh aap Geet hi ho! Warna aapko yeh sapne mein kabhi nahi dikhte! Aur woh sapna nahi shaayad aapki puraani yaadein hongi!" "Toh Maan kyun Mujhe Soni bulaate hain! Aur agar main Geet Handa hoon Soni Chaudhary kahaan hai? Maan ki Soni kahaan hai?" Khushi tried to pacify Soni. "Shaayad aapne apna naam badal diya ho!" "Par yeh certificates toh abhi ki hain. Aur mere fourth year ki certificate toh do mahine hi puraani hain! Yeh sab kya hai?" Suddenly, a thought struck Khushi, "Shaayad Maan ne aapko galti se Sonia samajhke yahaan leke aaye ho! Waise bhi aapko toh kuch yaad hi nahi! Toh woh aapko Soni samjhe honge!" Soni felt the ground beneath her move away. She staggered back. She wasn't Soni. She was not Maan's Soni. She was not Maan's love. Then where was Maan's love? And what would happen when Maan came to know the truth. He will be shattered. She fell down on her knees as tears made way from her eyes. Khushi sat down and hugged her. She did not what to tell Soni; no! to Geet. Geet must be heartbroken to realize that all she believed in this month was a lie. Geet looked at the floor in shock; her life that she lived was a lie.
"Main Maan ko kal sab bataa doongi!" Soni; no! Geet spoke after few minutes. Khushi nodded and helped her get up. They both lied on the bed. As the night passed on Khushi hugged Geet while Geet cried her heart out. Khushi felt tears as she realized what fate had dealt to both Maan and Geet!
