PART 5
STILL IN FLASHBACK...
Geet was on the verge of nervous breakdown.She was continusely going back & forth in her room.it had been almost 2 hours since she sent tiffin with that cake.She was
peeping through 4m her door to see if Maan was cuming here.But everytime she was dissapointed.Geet sat on her bad devasted saying "hadh hoti hai yr.This guy is such
a arrogant a**h***.I mean mana meri galti hai.par maine maafi bhi toh mangi thi nah.Par tht akro...dil kar raha use.." Geet's cursing programme was broken a sudden knock
on her door.She looked at the clock which was indicating tht it was pretty late.Geet got up to open the door.She opened the door only to find Tiffin there with the
same basket which she had sent 4 Maan.Geet's face fell thinking tht may b Maan didn't forgive her.Thinking tht Geet's eyes almost got filled with tears.But suddenly sumthg
caught her attention.Geet took tiffin in her arms nd got the basket out of tiffin's mouth.there was a note in the basket.Geet put tiffin down nd opened the note.
Geet,
i thnk tht's ur name.u don't nedd to to get tht much hyper.I forgive u & u can stay here as long as u want.I m sorry.I shouldn't have blsted on u lik tht.i should
have known tht u won't do sumthg lik tht on purpose.Nd i M really thankful for the cake.It was delicious.I m sure Dadi said u to use this trick.She knows this
trick always work on me.This time is no xceptional.So ,i m not at all angry with u.I wanted to talk to u personally but it is too late.So i thought to apply ur
technique.I hpoe u won't mind.I'l see u on the breakfast table tomoorow.Gud Night.
A boy who really enjoyed a cake made by u,
Maan.
Geet's face automatically lit up reading the letter.She jumped on her bed & started doing bhagra.She was so mch happy.She got to stay here & she won't b kicked out.
she was done doing bhagra & now was doing her famous tapory dance without knowing tht there was sumone who was looking at her with full amusement.Maan was continualy
watching her.He was standing behind her door to see her xpression reading the letter.He was first shocked to se Geet dancing lik tht tht.Thn his shock turned into
amusemnt while watching Geet.Maan smiled shaking his head & thnking "yeh toh shakira ko bhi maat de de..." Maan again looked at Geet & started to go back to his room.
Thnking " it'l b fun staying with u Miss. Geet Handa..."
Geet suddenly stopped dancing & felt sumone was watching her.She quickly looked towards the door.The door was slightly ajar but there was no one there.She quickly
closed the door & continued her Dance.
Morning..
Maan was in deep sleep whn he heard sum faint sounds.He shifted on the other side of his bed & placed a pillow on his face to prevent the sound which was disturbing
his peaceful sleep.But he still couldn't get rid off tht sound.Finaaly,he got up 4m his bed frustrated saying "yehi problem hai...India Me sumone or sumthg will force u to
wake up..Arggghhh...but yeh subha subha gana kaun gaa raha hai.." Thn Maan concentrated on the voice which made him wake up.He understood tht sumone was singing
Aarti.but it wasn't Dadi's voice.He knew that it was a ritual in KM tht one lady of the house has to sing THE MORNING ARTI without any failure But Dadi couldn't sing
this loud becoz of her throat infection & his bhabis were not at home to carry on this legacy.So who was singing it this beautifully nd sweety.Maan quickly wore his shirt
& started heading downstairs.
Geet took a deep breath before stating the new Aarti with the reqest of the other servents who had missed the previous Aarti.It was Her habbit to get up early in the morning.
Being brought up in a strictly Indial Cultural family.She & all her siblings had to knw all the rituals & had to follow thm.But Geet followed thm not becoz she had to
but becoz she loved to.She had full faith on this rituals & loved to perform thm.So whn shw had waked up the first thing she did was to get permission 4m Dadima to do
the morning Aari.She can't evn think to start her day without this Aarti.Dadima was more than glad to allow her.Dadima also wanted to keep their family ritual.So,she
happily agreed.Moast of the servents got up with Geet's voice.But at the time thy reached the main hall the Aarti was over.So,all of thm requested Geet & Geet being
GEET couldn't refuse thm.So She started The Aarti again singing with her melodious voice...
Om Jaye Jagdish Hare, Swami Jaye Jagdish Hare
Bhagt Jano Ke Sankat, Khshan Mein Dur Kare ...
Jo Dhaywe Phal Pave, Dukh Vinshe Man Ka
Sukh Sampati Ghar Aave, Kasht Mite Tan Ka ...
Maan stood on the top of the stairs trying to see who was singing.He couldn't see her face.Her back was facing him.All the servents were present there making it
impossible 4 him to see her.
Maat-Pita Tum Mere, Sharan Gahun Kiskee
Tum Bin Aur Na Duja, Aas Karun Jiskee ...
Maan was now the bottom of the stairs totally mezmorised by her voice.He was trying hard to see her face.He was trying hard to recognize her.Thn his memory made him
remember her.In a trance a word escaped 4m his mouth "Geet.."
Tum Puran Parmatma, Tum Antaryami
Par-Brahm Parmeshwar, Tum Sabke Swami ...
Maan started to go towards Geet.He was having Geet's flashes from last night.A girl dancing in her tune.Now seeing her lik this was kind of a amazing thing 4 him..
Tum Karuna Ke Saagar, Tum Palankarta
Mein Moorakh Khal Kami, Mein Sewak Tum Swami,
Kripa Karo Bharta ...
Geet was wearing a white churidar.Her hair was still wet from morning shower.Her eyes were closed.She was completely devoted in the calm &
pious environment around her.Maan was still going towards Geet lost in her...
Tum Ho Ek Agochar, Sabke Pran Pati
Kis Vidhi Milun Dayamay, Tumko Mein Kumti ...
Deenbandhu Dukh Harta, Thakur Tum Mere
Apne Hath Badao, Apni Sharan Lagao,
Dwar Para Tere ...
Maan was still trying to think if she ws the same girl whom he had seen last night.Last night she was behaving like a carefree girl now she looked a mature woman.Maan was
now standing exactly opposite Geet looking at her intendly.All the servants including Dadi were surprised to see Maan there.Maan never attented Aarti no matter how much
Dadi asked him.Dadi knew how mch He loved his morning sleep.He couldn't sacrifice his morning sleep evn if he wanted to.But seeing him here was kind of shocking
to all of thm.
Vishay Vikaar Mitao, Paap Haro Deva
Shradha Bhakti Barao, Santan Ki Sewa ...
Tan Man Dhan, Sab Hai Tera
Tera Tujhko Arpan, Kya Lage Mera ...
Geet finished the Aarti & turned back only to see Maan who was looking at her intendly.She was kind of shocked to see Maan standing so close to her & looking at her lik tht.
Thn she composed
herself & flashed her brilliant smile saying " Gud morning.." Maan's trance broke & looked everywhere only to find curious faces looking at him.Dadima (DM) "areh,
maan tum itni subah subah...yaha.." Maan "han..woh..Aarti.." DM " accha..toh Geet k khubsurat awaz app ko khich layi...tabhi main bolu..jo insan aaj tak Aarti me
nahi aya aj kaise aa gaya.." Saying this Dm cressesd Geet's hair lovingly. Geet jst smiled & took her blessings.Maan "woh.. DM..i'l take a bath & join u 4 breakfast.."
Dm nodded & Maan went towards his room.
Maan was getting ready after a hot bath.He was continuosly thnking abt Geet.As an artist it was easy 4 him to analyse sumone.But 4 the first time,he was wrong in
analysing sumone.Last night he thought Geet was jst a normal girl who wants to complete her education & thn may b enjoy her life.But seeing her today made a complete
different picture abt Geet in his mind.Today she was so calm,so composed,so pure...it looked lik she can never b wrong.Maan brushed his hairs saying "hmmm..
two completely different shades of a person..interesting..."
Maan came downstairs only to see Geet & DM laughing their heart out.DM "areh...maan..ayiye..baithiye.." Maan took a seat saying "so..y u guys r laughing so hard..??" DM " kuch nahi..
aise hi...waise yeh lijiye presad.." Maan ate it it & looked at Geet saying " sry...i didn't reply to ur gud mrng...so Gud mrng.." Geet jst smiled & nodded.DM "ohh
toh sab thik ho gaya hai..jante hai Maan..Geet ..Mohindar ki beti hai...u remember Mohindar handa..apke Papa k dost??" Maan "ya a little...thy r in Hoshiarpur..r8.??"DM nodded
saying "u knw Geet yaha..MBA karne ayi hai..she is the first girl 4m her village doing MBA" Maan " tht's nice.." DM " toh...Geet ap janti hai nah Maan kya karte hai..???"
Geet "inhe kaun nahi janta..It's a honour to meet him."Maan smiled a little showing his dimples.Ohh..he so loved praises abt him.Geet also smiled back at him.
DM "toh Maan apko apka inspiration mila iss bar apke
painting k liye."Maan "nope..issi liye toh wapas aa gaya.." DM "okk...dekhiye iss bar apka inspiration apko yehi kahi mil jata hai k nahi..."
Geet looked at both of thm confused not getting the whole part abt inspiration but decided to keep quite.
Maan "toh..bros wapas kab aa raha hai..." DM" i guess..agle hafte..lamba business tour hai..sath me biwi ko bhi le gaye hai dono..honeymoon bhi mana rahe honge.." Maan jst smiled at his naughty dadi..
Geet quickly finished her breakfast saying "woh Dm..mujhe University jana hoga..to submit sum important papers.."
DM "han beta hum jante hain..waise Maan app free hai..??" Maan " ya sure,..Y..?" DM "kya aap Geet ko waha tak leke jayenge...??" Geet "nahi nahi...main chali jayungi..
inne taqlef leene ki koi zaarurat nahi"
DM "no ways beta..ap yaha ka kuch nahi jkanti..aur ur responsibility is totally on me..so i can't take any risk..Nd Maan do u hav problem..???"
Maan wiped his mouth saying " not at all...i too m diying to see Delhi..after so many days...aur agar friends ko pata chala tht i m here...thy'l drag me in different
parties..toh isse pehle i should get going.." DM "toh ab apko koi problem nahi nah..waise bhi Geet yeh celebraty bahar hai..yaha nahi.." Maan "dadi..cum on.."
DM "okk..now u two..go.."
Maan & Geet said bye to Dadi & started to go towards Geet's University..
