PART 4

Maan Singh Khuranna…

Today was the most auspicious day for my Mishty and me but I have ruined everything with my own hands. I sit here waiting for my death to engulf me as I know tat I failed to get my Mishti back. I know I have been coward as I can't face her nor can get her back but now my heart is being covered with darkness and I cant bear this pain. I know tat as soon as she gets the news about me missing she will go mad or she may die but I cant stay like this. I had promised everyone back home last night tat before the wedding I would give them their Geet back but even after thinking I don't know wat I can do and seeing no other option I came here.. a cliff or say a deep valley tat was my hide out in Delhi and today I wait for her either for Mishti or my Death.. it can be.. tat we may be one again or we both loose each other.

Maan smiled looking deep down but tat smile was a painful one drifting him to the day when he thought about his so-called master plan tat took away all his happiness killing his Mishti.

Maan looked at Raj and Mohinder telling him wat he planned but the happier was Naina who would enjoy seeing her Di getting the biggest surprise but Rano and Priya they were not. they warned Maan and Naina for doing so but Maan very smartly managed to convince them tat it was just a small prank but the biggest surprise for Geet and here we all headed towards the Handa Haveli where my Mishti was present unknown tat I had returned back. I ran upstairs and just hugged my love my Mishti from behind who had been lost in her own world but I knew tat she had sensed me by my touch but I instantly pulled off from her knowing tat I was here to make my Mishti a bit irritated and the moment I did she turned to see me and I could see the wide happy smile on her face tat reached her eyes. But before she could say a world I dragged her down where everyone waited for us and the moment we reached down I signaled Naina to start her drama. Naina came and hugged Geet congratulating and than me with a big smile followed by others. I saw my Mishti looking at everyone with questions when Naina came and pulled her and made her to seat next to her.

Naina: Di.. aap jaanthi hain.. I mean I cant believe it.. I mean Maan Bhai.. how could he do.

Mishti's eyes instantly went to me and I smiled seeing her while Naina continued her words.

Naina: Uff Di.. how could your best friend Maan ditch you. See na he told everyone about his love but not you. Di do you know Maan Bhai is in love and he is being engaged this Sunday. Omg Di.. I cant believe Maan bhai is in love.. He is in love Di.

I could see the smile on her face tat I had always missed but tat smile did not last for long hearing wat Naina said later when she hugged Mishti.

Naina: Di.. Maan Bhai..

Naina came and hugged me.

Naina: Bhai how does Shreya look.. I mean she will be my Bhabi na.. how does she look. Is she tall, is she sweet. Does she know all of us. How did you fall in love with Shreya Bhabi.

My eyes stared at my Mishti and I failed to see them crying deep within. I could not read them as I always failed. The smile she was having had vanished with a lie but I even failed to see tat she died the very moment when Naina said those words tat killed her. Naina kissed me on my cheeks and ran towards Geet pulling her up and kissing and hugging her telling the next lie of our plan.

Naina: Di.. sirf yahi nahi.. I mean.. you know Maan Bhai's friend Vicky na.. I mean he was even your friend na.. but later you stopped talking to him.. But not anymore Di.. After all woh mera would be jiju jo hain.

Naina pulled out of the hug and kissed Geet once again congratulating her with a wink at me and smiling at Geet.

Naina: Di.. aapki aur Maan bhai ki engagement ek hi din woh ish Sunday hain.. Yours with Vicky and his with Shreya. M so much happy di.. kya perfect hain na.. Best friends being engaged on same day with their respective partners.

Geet: Vicky…

I moved to hug her and the moment I did I could sense the same stiffness tat she had but this was much more but I shrugged it off only thinking tat My Mishti would get the biggest happiness and surprise on the day of our engagement knowing tat she would be mine.

Maan: Haan Vicky.. Geet.. You know I came early to give you the biggest surprise tat I was finally in love and was getting married with Shreya but when I reached I got the biggest surprise from Dad and Uncle tat Vicky has sent a proposal for you and knowing tat you would never say no to them they fixed your engagement. But the greatest happiness is we are getting engaged on the same day and m very happy Geet.. Happy tat you are getting married to Vicky.. After all he is my best friend and I just spoke to Vicky.. he will be here at any moment to talk to you.

I signaled each and everyone to come and hug Geet so tat she does not doubt but where I knew tat she never doubted but always believed wat, she hears and sees. I tried avoiding her, as I knew then moment I see her alone I would not be able to hold myself and for tat reason I called Vicky to join us. Vicky is my best friend since school days. After Geet it was Vicky who knew about me and Vicky also knew tat I loved Geet so when I told him about my plan to surprise my Mishti he was happy but was bit scared thinking tat he it would be wrong but Maan Singh Khuranna never let anyone to back off so here Vicky was all ready with us in our plan. I was so engrossed with Naina in deciding and planning while the elders went off to decide and plan for the engagement warning me a bit but in this all I failed to see tat Geet had slipped off from my sight and went away.

You wont believe tat I went so overboard in my prank with the sole aim tat I wanted Geet to know tat her Maan was still the same like he was in his childhood.. the biggest prankster, only to realize tat I failed knowing the fact tat my Mishti was not the same Geet who knew me but the heart tat loved me but was filled with fear and just fear. I failed to think again tat she would not think about it as a joke but would think tat may be her Maan had finally found his love when he was away to London as they never met nor we talked much after I went to London and this distance though made my love strong but the fear tat my Mishti had been going through never left her. She always lived with it and was successful in hiding it from me when we had small chats on phone once a week. I even asked Naina to keep an eye on Geet and she used to inform me tat her Di was happy and would smile and enjoy but somewhere she was sad and my heart just made me think tat she was missing me and this my so called confirmation tat she had over come her fear made me to go with my plan and destroy everything with my own hands.

"Why did I fail.. Why did I fail to see tat she was sensitive and very mush sensitively in love with me tat I killed her with my prank. How could you Maan. How could you fail to see tat she was dying each second."

I know I was wrong but my wish to see my Mishti having the biggest smile once I make her mine in front of the world made me not to think anything else I did continue with my prank and when Vicky arrived I was the one who escorted him to my Mishti's room along with Naina. I opened the door and for once I was a bit sad to see her standing near the window facing her back to me but I knew tat she will be the happiest person later. I pulled her by her arm only not seeing into her eyes and made her to sit on the bed while Vicky stood watching her. For a moment, I wanted to kill Vicky for staring my Mishti but by one glare was enough for him to back off. I asked him to take a seat next to me pulling a chair while Naina sat on the bed. We waited for few minutes and finally I broke the silence.

Maan: Uff.. Vicky.. weren't you excited to meet Geet and see now you don't even speak a word.

Vicky: Haan.. wat should I say.. by the way Maan, did she really say yes for my proposal.

Maan: Off course Vicky.. you know my Geet can never deny her parents as she knows tat wat they decide will be best for her and she knows na tat you are my best friend so how can she say no. ab chodo yeh sab.. kuch kaam ki baat kare.. I mean you are getting engaged to Geet yaar.. par bina I love you ke.. come on Vicky say na.

I could see Vicky glaring at me for the drama but before he could say anything, I heard a soft meek voice tat belonged to my Mishti.

Geet: Shreya..

I looked at her and could see the questions in her eyes but I smiled saying.

Maan: Shreya, she is with her parents Geet. we just arrived na… so she needs to do all shopping and all for the occasion. I swear Geet, she is so beautiful tat I don't have words to describe her. I mean she is just like me, not like you who is so quite and all.

Geet: can I see her.

Maan: why not Geet.. after all you are my best friend but kya hain na.. she is from Mumbai and we are from Delhi.. so you will be able to meet her directly on the engagement day.. par yeh sab chado.. why not we hear you and Vicky talk. Come on Vicky say something na.. after all teri bhi engagement hain.

Naina: Haan jiju.. opps sorry.. aap tho ab mere Jiju ho na.. so I can say tat.. chalo ab yeh chupi se bahar aa jao.. and lets talk something. Waise bhi meri Di ab sirf kuch din ki mehmaan hain.. so lets have some dhamaka before tat.

I saw Naina hugging my Mishti while I signaled Vicky to speak.

Vicky: Geet.. as now we are getting engaged can we go out for a dinner. I mean you and me.

Maan: off course Vicky.. tumara tho haq bantha hain na.. after all she is all yours.. hain na Geet.

There was no answer from her but her eyes only looked at me and next second she excused us and moved out of the room not to be seen anywhere after tat. I looked at Naina and Vicky who at once pounced at me hitting and kicking me for saying this but later we all laughed seeing how successful we were getting and how she was staring at us. I smiled though my heart ached to take her and kiss her for long but I knew tat right now I had to concentrate on our plan.

I finally found her sitting at the poolside of the Haveli all alone. I slowly walked towards her and sat besides taking her hand in mine.

Maan: Do you know Geet, I never thought tat I would fall for Shreya.. and would understand tat she was my true love but you say na true love finds you and captures your heart aur waise bhi now m happy tat finally Maan Singh Khuranan got his lady love and my best Friend Geet Handa got hers. Sach kahu I never knew tat Vicky loved you all these years but its not late na.

Geet: Hmmm.

I heard Naina coming towards us who herself was searching for Geet. I turned and signaled her to come and sit next to her while she was all set with the next plan of ours.

Naina: Di.. Are you hiding yourself here? Let me see your face.. Want to see my Di blushing when Maan Bhai is talking about Vicky.

Naina turned Geet's face towards her only to see her looking at her and than at water but she did not fail to question her.

Geet: Naina, why did not Maa-Papa tell me.

I looked at Naina and than at Geet who was still looking at her reflection in the water.

Naina: Di, you know actually Papa had talked to Raj Uncle and than they were thinking about asking Maan Bhai how Vicky was but before they could do Maan Bhai surprised them with his news and later when he came to know about Vicky he was more than happy so you know na.. in all these they forgot to tell you.. aur waise bhi Di.. wats in tat now.. Vicky is so handsome na.. after all Maan Bhai ka best friend hain. hain na Maan bhai.

Maan: Haan Geet.. he will really keep you happy as he loves you so much.

Naina: Ab chalo yaha se.. we need to go for Dinner.. I mean Vicky had called all three of us for dinner.

Maan: Naina.. do you want to be a kabab mein haddi kya.. why are we going let the two love birds be together. Hum dono na akele yahi dinner karte hain.. kya pata shreya se shaadi hone ke baad I will have time for all this. you know na.. how much I love her.

Naina: Bhai.. abhi se aap humne bhoolne lage ho.. shaadi ke baad tho muh bhi nahi deekhaoge kya. Par main na I wont leave this chance of dinning with my di and my future jija ji.. kya pata inki shaadi ke baad they will let me anywhere near them. Kyu Di. Chalo now lets get ready.

I saw Naina dragging Geet with her and I quickly called Vicky asking him to get ready and to be precise while doing everything. I had even handed him a diamond bracelet tat I had purchased from London and wanted to give it to my Mishti is the most different way but now I asked Vicky to do it knowing tat this will be more fun to watch. I even warned him by saying tat he will just hand over it to her but I will hook it with my hands and as we planned we were successful in doing everything only not to see wat she was going through or say she was dying each second and in all this I failed to even realize tat she never questioned me on my confession to her before going to London.

I always kept talking about Shreya in front of Geet telling her how I met her, how we became friends and how we realized our love. How I proposed her and I could say for the very first time tat she was hearing me with such concentration tat I could see my small Mishti in her but I failed to see tat she was being engulfed in darkness of my lies. I never left a chance to tease her with Vicky's name and would always make sure tat he was there with us. Our parents did not think about my prank much as they were to busy in preparations as the two richest families were to be bonded into a stronger relation along with friendship so it was easy for me and Naina to play along. At times Naina used to warn me saying tat we were wrong but I told her tat it was just a drama and finally her Di and my Mishti would be in my arms. It was the day when we planned for the ring shopping and as always Naina pulled Geet along with us. I had not seen Geet for a day as I was busy with some work but I was shocked to see her but my mind played with me saying tat just a day and Mishti would be mine and so the final step of my big prank was in action. I pulled Geet with me and the moment I touched her I could say tat she was very weak. I looked at her and smiled not trying to think anything else as Maan Singh Khuranna was never wrong. I made her sit next to me and said.

Maan: geet dekho na itni saari rings hain and I cant even select one for Shreya. Please na Geet help me the way I will help Vicky to select for you.

Geet: hmm.

She shook her head with tat hmm without even looking at me. I smiled thinking tat my Mishti would be so happy after knowing tat she herself chose a ring for herself. I looked at her seeing the rings and I added.

Maan: Geet kuch aise ring choose karo tat will be unique after all my love is unique just like an angel na.. meri zindagi ki roshni hain woh so I want her to wear the most unique ring. You know na want I mean.

She did not say anything but just handed me a ring and I just could not take my eyes off from tat ring. My Mishti was the best as she every well knew wat I wanted for her and she did the same. I looked up and saw her moving but my hand reached hers and stopped her and at once the ring was slipped in her ring finger. She looked at me and removed the ring giving it back saying.

Geet: Its for your love Shreya.. aapki honewali patni and don't taint it by slipping it into my finger ashubh hota hain najaane mera kaala saaya ushe khaa na jaaye.

I just kept staring at her while she moved out from my sight walking away from the shop while I sat there looking at her retreating figure. Naina and Vicky came near me after their shopping and seeing me lost Naian tapped by shoulder asking me.

Naina: Jiju kya hua.. aap ish tarah.

Maan: Naina will she understand me.

Vicky and Naina looked at me with questions and I said again.

Maan: Aisa kyu lag raha hain ki I will loose her. did I do right thinking of surprising her and making sure tat she sees the same Maan of hers who loved to irritate her.

Naina wiped the lone tear tat escaped my eyes while Vicky looked up at me with a smile saying.

Vicky: Maan aisa mat soch, its your engagement tomorrow and it happens with many so just stop this thoughts and try to think about the happiness tat you will see on her face.

I looked up at him and than Naina but I could see the same fear in her eyes like mine. I held her hand tight in mine assuring her tat everything would be fine but alas I had already destroyed everything.We walked back to our car but strangely My Mishti wasn't there and I started to fear more. We dashed home back and were relived knowing tat she was in her room and before I could meet her up I got a call from Dad saying tat he had some urgent work in KC tat needed me. I was so held up with my work tat I failed to even see my watch to know the time. It was the last day I would work before my wedding and the fact was I had not joined fully as Dad had said tat after the wedding I would be given the permanent powers but I was already the big businessman since college days as I used to handle projects. I reached home back around midnight and tried to call Naina but seeing the time I was shocked and than left to my room thinking tat I will first meet Geet in the morning and tell her everything. I tried sleeping turning and tossing in my bed but my eyes refused to even close though they were tired. I walked out to take in some fresh air but my heart started to beat faster. I reached for my watch and looked at the time tat showed 3 am and I wasn't asleep. My heart was in fear and I could sense it and my legs on their own reached out of my room while my fingers grabbed the car key driving me to my Mishti. I did not even realize tat I was being driving it was like a force dragging me to her and I simply rang the bell waking everyone at Handa Haveli. I could hear everyone calling me and asking me wat was the matter but my legs took me to my Mishti's room tat was locked. I banged for few time but there was no response and I turned to get the spare key tat was kept in one of the drawers while Naina followed me everywhere asking me wat was going on. I put the key into the key hole and with the click sound I opened the door only too see my Mishti lying on bed while the bed and floor wet and sticky with the red fluid, my Mishti's blood.

Precap: Will sensitive love get its love.
