Important guys: many of you asked how maan will manage the school fees of such high notch schools.
Let me tell you about few financial assistance provided to employees these days.
(1) First of all, 400000 is the approximate amount of fees you pay for two years in class XI and XII if you study in big schools or precisely schools which offer large number of extra curriculum activities in normal towns too so in Mumbai it would be even higher, still I kept it low.
(2) Now a days, many offices provide allowances/perks to their employees about bearing complete or some percentage of education expenses of the family in return of the large number of working hours they make their employees work. This is mostly seen in MNCs.
(3) If you work in financial/ investing organization like banks, most of the time they are the financers of the educational institute and especially big schools as they require large number of funds, so sometimes they need loan too which they arrange from banks and in return give them a offer of some seats, in exchange of less rate of interest.
(4) And most importantly Scholarships, if you score above 90% in boards, there are quite a number of government scholarships launched by them and even the school where you study, they too offer you scholarships or mainly they just give you 40%-50% discount or sometimes complete fees of yours are exempted and you won't need to pay anything.
And its all true guys, so be aware and inform it to those who have financial issues and have to let go of studies.
CONGRATS LAKSHMI FOR TURNING ROCKERS🥳
PART 17
Two days have passed but the relation between maan geet didn't saw any improvement. Maan as hell was not ready to give any chance to geet not after she out rightly rejected his choice of schools. He had searched for an hour, consulted his colleagues and friends who were in Mumbai and with his own personal experience, he had chosen the best schools in the town and those two which could be included in his pockets.
But he felt bad when she not only rejected them, but instead of telling him she just went on with her on research. He knew he had said her to be independent, but somewhere his heart still want her to be dependent on him for these important decisions. He had always dreamed his wife would be dependent on him, not for everything but atleast few important issues. He wasn't a chauvinist, but it would give him a feel that he is a part of her life.
but here she doesn't even want him to be a part of important decisions then thinking of small decisions would be a far off dream. His wife wasn't like the one the girl laying next to him is. STOP!! JUST STOP SAYING HIM YOUR WIFE!!! His mind shouted, she isn't anything, NOTHING AT ALL!! Kuch nhi lagti wo tumhari, it said in anguish, while his heart just cried with each word of its controller.
It would have been better to stop pumping, rather than hearing so wrong for his soul mate. His heart had liked her at the first glance, admired her with each call of theirs, was attracted to her when they were tied In that sacred bond, the next step would have been love if all that hassle hadn't taken place, and now it all seemed like a mirage, a dream where he was trying to reach for something which didn't even existed at the first place.
But was it easy to forget anything, was it??? It had been a week around, and still the day haunted him, he just fears now at each second to come face to face with something which not even used exist in his world. Is it easy to let go of someone whom once you considered a priceless possession??? For whom you felt like she is your soul, your breathes??? No it is not. Though there had been just more than a month he had known her, but it won't be wrong to say, it was she on whose thoughts his days passed, her dreams that made his night worth passing and your life worth living.
He does want to give her time, he does want to let her go from him, but it was just getting difficult and worse with each passing second. His body now seems a battleground, where both his heart and his mind are the warriors, trying to win him by their explanations, yet on the cost of his peace. Kash he would have those time machines and would have gone back to past just to save himself from what he went through.
For geet, she just didn't know how to get him to talk. All her life she was the one who was stubborn, but now she had get someone better than her. If it would have been in his control, he would not even see her face or would just not even step in the building where she would have once even been. And all this just made her realized the gravity of hurt she had caused him.
She knew before too, she was cheating him, she was fooling him with false hopes and she was guilty for that, but now it seems it wasn't a mistake, it was a sin, a sin whose effect she won't be able to reduce even at the cost of the last drop of blood in her body. She knew he is in pain, but what she didn't knew was all this closing up was killing him each passing second.
He wanted to free himself, but that would mean to tell her and he feared, he feared he would say something which would bring them so far, it would be difficult to cover it up later.
Geet being 16, was still alien to feelings like love, affection, soul mate. How many novels you read, how many movies you watch, it just makes you aware of those feelings, but the actual intensity is known to the one who personally experience them.
Geet too know the words, but the feel, the connection she had never felt, and thus she is not able to connect with his mental condition. She had seen pain, the loss of someone, but it was always limited to the ones she had been prepared off. She knew suhana will leave her after marriage, she knew she will leave shalini after her own marriage, but she never knew the burn it bring with the loss of someone whom you considered your half part, your own soul.
It was the third day, and geet was still searching for some college. She had went through the available websites on net, but well nowadays even the worst college has a top level website, so she was still confused what to say him. But opposite to her expectation, he didn't asked her about her choice, he was cool as if he even forget about the school thing.
But how can he??? He knew he had given her time till today but then it seems she is fully capable of thinking about her right wrong, so he just let go. Whenever she decides anything, he will bring her the form of that college without any argument. That's all!!! He thought but somewhere he just couldn't let go of the tension about her choice.
Her past hadn't been so brilliant about choices so he was way too scared for that. So to change his mind, he asked her to get ready as they were going for shopping. They went to a mall near buy and he took her to ladies section. There was a sale apparently and the clothes were available at 50% discount making the place full of people.
He asked geet to purchase some daily wear clothes, to be used when her school would start. Geet's face lost color with the name of shopping. She looked at the whole shop with so many varieties and gulped her saliva thinking what she will choose.
Straightly, she was going to traditional suit section, when she felt his hold on her hand. She immediately stiffed with his touch, which he seemed to sense too as he immediately let go her hand. She turned to him, fumbling with her dubatta, looking down.
He cursed himself for that, dare you touched her again or I will cut you off the body, he warned his hand. He was way too frustrated with the rejections. Seeing her so still, he said' umm wo' if you wish you can chose some jeans tops, and other stuffs too if you feel comfortable in them. It would look more appropriate on you than those suits, he said seriously making her eyes go wide.
He just cursed himself for saying that!!! Why are you interfering, its her choice' can't you be quite for a while' his mind chided
While geet's eyes went wide as her heart gleamed with happiness. Shalini was purely against of jeans, and she had to wear suits whole of her life. Even her school dress was suits after class seventh. She used to drool on pants and jeans when ever her friends used wear, even she tried once too when she had went to her friend's house for a visit. And the hell she just loved them. They were comfy for her than those suits, which keep troubling you with those long dubattas. It was her wish to buy one but she never gets a chance and after marriage there wasn't any hope for that.
She looked at the jeans collection with so much shock, happiness and what not, making maan totally confused. Does she want them or not, or is she thinking of them just because he said, maan wondered as he saw her looking at those pants with so many emotions.
Ahh.. if you are ok with them then only decide, otherwise you can look suits too, he said after a minute of silence, moving his hand in his long black hairs. No no' I will purchase them' aapko pata hai I always wanted to wear them but none allowed me at house' aap ko sachi problem nhi hai na, she asked looking at him genuinely while he just nodded no, making her smile in happiness. She was about to go to the section when he said, waise bhi I had freed you, you are free to do what you wish, no need to think about me, he said those in low voice unknowingly but geet heard them and didnt knew what to feel.
Be happy that she is for the first time allowed to be the way she wishes or feel sorry for him. But well this is not the time for all this as some nice clothes were waiting for her. She launched in the section while maan followed her with a little distance. Geet looked at each jeans hanged on the store, but got really confused. She first chose one, then kept it back and took another and then repeated it again.
Her hand was damn tired as she kept doing the same for the next fifteen minutes making maan impatient too. It's so true; these girls need an hour for even simple jeans too, he said as he rubbed his temple.
Finally geet just kept everything back and sat down on the couch, keeping her head on her hands. Maan wondered what happened to her as he went and sat down next to her. Kya hua??? He asked when he saw her still in the same position after a minute of silence too.
She looked at him with sad eyes, ready to spill tears, then again kept her head back on her knees. Maan got tensed seeing those tears in her eyes, kya hua tumhe' bolo mujhe' he said as he lifted her head in his palms.
Geet just shook her head in nothing as she tried to look away from him but his palms on her cheek kept her still. Geet please, he said as he became restless with her silence, I can't chose anything, she said as she removed his palms and looked away.
Bas itni si baat, chalo we will look at another shop isme rone ki kya baat hai, he said as he got up. Wo baat nhi, she said as she saw him getting up, phir' he asked as he again sat beside her. Shopping is not my cup of tea, I just always slug when it came to chose clothes. Mujhe sab ek jaisa hi lagta hai aur phir mera dimaag kharab ho jata hai when I can't decide on anything, she said as she looked away.
She knew it was so so horrible for a girl to hate or say possibly fail in shopping. Girls are crazy about it, and here she just can't even stand it for a minute too. she knew he would laugh on that, and she is stupid to cry too' ye to hamesha hota aya hai' she had always wore what others had chosen without any fight as she knew it would be better than she chose anything, but today she for the first time is shopping for something she craved the most and here she is again dumb.
( to those who believe that its impossible for a girl to be like that' then take my example' I hate shopping to core'. If I would be asked to die or shop' I will prefer dyeing, easier way to heaven then shopping' if I ever go to shopping, I will just stand on side while others will chose and If it extends for than an hour, I do need to hold my hand in pain'. Though its funny but its true and a horrible truth of my life.😆)
Maan just looked at her as if she is crazy. For the last twenty minutes she is seeing those jeans and now she is crying because she is not able to decide' such a single piece of god, he thought. And then wondered, if she can't choose a jeans, the hell she would choose her school. Now he needs to be more careful for her choices, he thought as he shook his head.
He just lifted her from her hand and took her to the section again. Then he took few jeans which he liked, and asked her to check them for size. She nodded smilingly as she went away to trial room. She wore each one, and she felt she is in heaven feeling that rough-smooth cloth going tightly around her legs.
When she came out, maan asked her which one she preferred the most, and she just looked at him as if what to say. Shaking his head, he himself chose two which he felt were better and did the same with few tops and kurtis.
When she came out in a white top with black jeans, he wasn't able to take his eyes off her. She looked so STUNNING and DIFFERENT, so teenager in that. He cursed himself for looking at her like that but then he was helpless at something's.
Finally after the shopping, maan took out his wallet to pay for the clothes, but she immediately refused saying, I will pay for them, mai purse layi hu.
Maan looked at her as if she is kidding, when did girls started to pay when their husband is standing right beside her. He simply refused, geet I will pay, you keep quiet, he said as he moved to pay but she immediately refused, please aap aisa mat kariye. I will pay for my things, aap pehle hi itna kar rhe ho mujhe aap par aur bojh nhi banna, ab to aap is rishte ki sachhai jante hai to is jhute rishte me bandhne ki aapko jarurat nhi, she said as she looked at him in his eye.
Maan just boiled in anger with her thoughts, did she just proclaimed their relation to be a lie. He knew it was but it felt worst to hear it from her mouth. And money, she is thinking about money, from when did that disgusting thought crossed her mind he wondered. But jo bhi ho, he didn't approve that thought of hers, and before she could say anything, he just snatched the bag from her and paid the bill and went out.
Geet tried to say something, but he just didn't listened, as he stopped an auto and waited till she sat inside and they both moved toward their hotel.
