WAITINGGG...

sweet part!! Maan giving his love and care to his family!!!

such a nicely written part.👏 i just loved it. n thank u so much for the PM 😊 i kept waiting and it took so long but i was so happy (that sign of 'new message in inbox' is always so exciting no matter which forum we are using 😆)
You have such a power in your writing, i mean the way you described the place where Meera is given the surprise , I actually could picture it in my mind😊
and indeed these events and details of their normal routine are so important for the better understanding of how things are going on between Maan and Geet. suddenly jumping to their lovestory in full bloom would not do justice. these things have to happen with their slow pace ,step by step . and you are handling it exactly the way it should be handled.

but PLEASE. PHULEEZ. 😭 dont say that Geet can not EVER become a mom. (focussing on EVER). please dont do this it would break my heart 💔 if she has some illness some problem some infertility or whatever, please keep the issue flexible. dont make it a rigid "NO" for now and forever :( like other two FFs of yours, life any other FF we read, and also like the original GHSP, we want a happy end and that includes family, including children😭 i know the fact that even people who happily get married might not have kids at all and its so heartbreaking but in the fantasy world ,there has to be a happy end :( so please keep our requests in mind . i have watched many people commenting and asking about the same thing and thats why im putting my request. keep it flexible please :(

lovely part dear

time for update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome updates
Loved them...
Beautifully written...

Thanks Piya for the banner

All – Lot of you had question on the statement why Geet can not be a mother. I am sorry for the confusion caused as I realized in hindsight that I should have chosen some other words to explain Geet's POV. As Avi explained, it was simply Geet's own belief that being a widow, she will not have a life partner or husband in her life to have a child.

This is in contrast to Daadima who said the same thing "When I being a widower can do it so can you." Difference is that Daadima has had kids and in our society many a times, aged widows who have been mothers are respected but the young widower is considered a bad omen (as she has had such a bad fate.)

I hope I have cleared the confusion. Physically there is no reason why she can not be a mother. It is just psychologically. Apologies once again for the confusion.

All – A lot of you think Maan here is way too idealistic. Apart from physical appearance which I feel we anyways see in one we love and matters the least, most of the traits in this story are based on some real life experiences. Yes, not one person may have felt all the emotions but I have seen bits and pieces of Maan in real world. Anu shared a story of a person who married her cousin with child. I personally know of men who have married a widower. Off course fiction stories will always dramatize the emotions but girl's hesitance, trust issues and man's love doesn't become any lesser. As to Meera's story. I live in UK and everyday I hear of girls who are single moms in their teenage.

I just feel that we underplay the good just because bad is so prominent in today's world. We just need to open our hearts and embrace the goodness in an average person a little more to appreciate people around us. I am not saying that everyone can be a hero but Maan as a hero can only be valued if we aspire and see hints of him in ourselves and around us. Heroes may be few but they are there.

Anu – Thanks for sharing the real life experience. You are absolutely right. Even I know of people who maybe not exactly the way story is presented which is almost always more dramatized but in reality have done something which inspires and makes us believe that goodness still exists in this world.

Rachana – Thank you so much. Your comment overwhelmed me. Thank you for appreciating the hard work. I love writing because I feel it gives me an outlet to express my feelings and to make life of some people i.e. my readers even a little better by bringing hope and smile. That is why maybe I stay away from tragedies and probably bring out more than optimistic and idealistic view of society. Underlying passion is that when two people and family work towards happiness, then even darkest time become worth living. When one is alone, even best of times leave something to be desired. I am very much a family person and truly believe that it is our friends, family and kind acts as trifle as encouraging someone with words which makes this world a better place to live. Thank you very much and your words truly made my day and left me very touched.

Lakshmi – I just saw that it was your birthday last week. Sorry I did not know. A very Happy Belated Birthday darling. Hope you had a great day.

VERY IMPORTANT: Please add ritzypm as buddy to gets PMs for this FF

Chapter 35 – Yeh Jeevan Hai

After dinner, everyone went back to the hostel. Maan had arranged for cars and even some pillows for Meera.

Once they reached Meera hugged Maan again

"Thanks bhai…I still feel I am dreaming…I can't believe you arranged for my baby shower."

Maan smiled – "no need for thanks Meera….ab ek bhai itna toh kar hi sakta hai na. Waise, I have another surprise for you in your room."

Meera smiled enthusiastically thinking of another surprise and went to her room. She was shocked to see it completely changed.

All the other beds had been moved and her room looked like a mini nursery. There was a new cot decorated with a cot mobile. A new wardrobe and wall paper with different cartoon characters had been added. Whole room was filled with stuffed and other toys.

Maan came and held Meera's shoulder "I wanted to shift you to Khurana Mansion but Daadima felt that you may not like it. I have accepted you as my sister not for namesake only Meera and want to keep you in front of my eyes. I am confident it will happen one day but till you are mentally prepared for it, you can stay here. But that does not mean you will compromise on anything because I will not let you do so. My niece / nephew is going to get what he or she deserves…samjhi."

"Bhai…"

Maan wiped her tears and took her inside.

Yeh Jeevan Hai, Is Jeevan Ka
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Rang roop

Thode Ghum Hain, Thodi Khushiyan
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Chaon Dhoop
Yeh Jeevan Hai...

Meera looked at various things and picked up a pair of beautiful soft booties as Maan continued

"Yeh dekho…yeh hai baby aur uski mumma ka room…"

He pointed to the bed and the cot – "Yahan mumma aur mausi soyegi aur woh wahan…wahan pe baby."

Geet, Daadima and everyone else just saw in wonderment as Maan gave Meera a detailed tour of the small room.

As everyone left leaving the brother-sister alone, Geet went down to bring some snack for Meera.

Meera herself was feeling very emotional and placed her head on Maan's shoulder as she sat on the bed all tired from the day.

"Thanks Bhai. I never imagined having this day in my life but you made it even better than what I could have wished for."

"I am happy you just liked it choti"

Meera looked at Maan sharply as he called her from the name only her Di called her

"Choti?"

Maan smiled slightly "Kyon mein tumhein choti nahi bula sakta."

(Why, can't I address you as choti)

"Bula sakte hain…kyon nahi. But ek shart pe"

(Yes, off course you can…but on one condition.)

"Shart"

(Condition?)

"Tell me the truth…kya chal raha hai aapke aur Di ke beech?"

(Tell me the truth….what is going on between you and Di?)

"What…what are you talking about Meera"

Maan lowered his gaze as he stared in front. But Meera was not in a mood to give up. She held Maan's shoulder little tightly – "Bataiye na Bhai. Aap Geet di ko pasand karte hain…hain na?"

(Tell na bro. You like Geet di…isn't it?)

"Off course Meera I like her…yeh kaisa sawaal hai"

(Off course Meera I like her…what kind of a question is that?)

"Bhai!!!! You know very well what I mean"

Maan was a little embarrassed and more scared with Meera's question fearing her response. He held her hands gingerly "Please Meera….I don't have any wrong intentions. Yes I like her….I mean that way…pata nahi kab se….but since a long time. Please dekho…tum gussa mat karna. I know you are her sister first and you care for her. But I sincerely have feelings for her. I just want to see her happy."

Meera burst out laughing seeing Maan stutter like that "Oh God Bhai…aap kitna ghabra rahe hain…well don't worry. Mujhe koi problem nahi hai. As a matter of fact I am the happiest person after knowing that in reality you both will get what you deserve – A really warm and loving person for each other."

Maan smiled in relief "I was so scared…waise kya fayda. Tumhari Di toh mujhe ghaas bhi nahi daalti."

(I was so scared…but what's the use? You sister doesn't even look at me.)

"Aisa kuch nahi hai Bhai. I think she also has feelings for you."

"Sach…"

Meera giggled seeing his excitement "much…. But I think she is very hesitant to accept it"

"Kyon? Waise I also tried to deny my feelings for a long time…par kar nahi paaya. As much as I tried to run away from her, I kept on sinking deeper."

"Pyaar aisa hi hota hai Bhai…sorry Jeejs…."

Maan pinched her nose lovingly "Shhh…marwaogi tum mujhe…tumhari Di will fry me alive."

Yeh Na Socho Isme Apni Haar Hai Ke Jeet Hai
Use Apna Lo Jo Bhi Jeevan Ki Reet Hai
Yeh Zid Chodo, Yuh Na Todo
Har Pal Ek Darpan Hai
Yeh Jeevan Hai...

"I don't know Bhai…but mujhe lagta hai, she has feelings for you but she don't want to accept them because she doesn't have any confidence on herself. Aapne dekha, aaj kaise party mein she refused to come ahead. Unke dimaag mein bhar gaya hai ki she can not have any relationships. Pehle bhi I have heard her say it to Daadima and others that she cannot have a proper family or fall in love with anyone. One day Mrs. Dixit was teasing her as Malti found a boyfriend"

"Malti"

"She was another girl. Now she has moved out but she was a divorcee. Her family used to torture her for dowry. So when she got a new Boy Friend, Mrs. Dixit just made a statement to Di that if one wants one can move. Di was very upset and she left abruptly. Only thing she said was "Some people do not have destiny to have a life partner."

Both Maan and Meera were startled as Geet entered with snacks – "Kya baatein ho rahi hain choti?"

(What talks are going on choti?)

Maan just smiled uncomfortably while Meera tried to test the water to make her point to Maan "Aapki shaadi ki baat kar rahe the Di"

(Talking about your marriage Di)

Maan looked on as smile vanished from her lips "What…yeh kaise bakwaas mazaak hai Meera…tujhe pata hai mujhe aisi baatein bilkul bhi nahi pasand."

(What…what kind of a sick joke is this Meera….you know I don't like talking about such things.)

Maan tried to manage the situation "Come on Geet, she is just kidding. Waise bhi tum itna hyper kyon ho rahi ho. Shaadi ki hi toh baat kar rahi hai and you are reacting as if she is talking something bad."

Geet looked at Maan with horrified expression "Sir…aap…how can you talk like this and support her. You know I am a widow right. Still. Meera you know how much this will hurt me…don't you."

Meera was worried seeing her Di's teary face "Sorry Di….Woh mein…I just wish you get a good life partner aur isiliye bas aise hi muh se nikal gaya."

Geet tried to control herself but Maan's presence just made it even harder releasing what is it that she can never have….never dream of

"You have gone mad Meera. Life partner….you have forgotten…my life partner is dead. There is no place of such emotions and talks in my life. Then why are you teasing me like this with a dream I can never have…hmmm. Is my life not worthless enough that you are rubbing salt on my wounds. Kisi ke kaam ki nahi hoon main. I am just a burden…a trouble for everyone. Kyon koi mere saath rishta jodega…why are you cursing anyone to knowingly take on a bad omen like me."

"Geet…bas…chup bilkul chup. How dare you?"

Maan's dam of patience finally broke seeing her badmouthing herself for the second time in a day. He felt anger burning him at what was an insult to his love.

"Maan Sir"

"Ek shabd aur nahi Geet…how can you think like that…how can you say such words….Bad Omen….worthless…kisi ke kaam nahi ho….burden…trouble. How can you. What about us…Meera….Daadima…me. Is that what you think? That you are a burden on all of us. Tarnishing our lives. Oh, I forgot, relations don't mean anything to you. Does Meera mean anything to you because clearly our friendship has no place in your life.

Mein hi pagal tha jo sochta tha ki kuch matlab hai mera tumhari zindagi mein. You know what…today you proved the truth…I am nothing but your boss and we should just stay within our professional realms."

"Bhai"

"Nahi Meera…mein soch bhi nahi sakta tha ki yeh apne bare mein aise sochti hai."

Maan stormed out not able to take the pain which evoked inside him at her words. If someone else had spoken such words for her, he would have hit that person. But what could he do when her own love insulted and disrespected herself. He was afraid he would say or do something which he will regret and hence just walked away.

Tears made way from Geet's eyes at Maan's anger. Though she had seen his strict behavior in office but first time Maan had said something like this to her and that too in such a harsh way. She was shaken by the mere thought of making Maan sir angry because of her words.

"Maine unehin kitna hurt kiya…how could I? Maan Sir is so angry on me."

Dhan Se Na Duniya Se, Ghar Se Na Dwar Se
Saason Ki Dor Bandhi Hai, Preetam Ke Pyar Se
Duniya Choote, Par Na Toote, Yeh Aisa Bandhan Hai
Yeh Jeevan Hai...

Meera made Geet sit down and gave her water – "Nahi Di…woh gussa nahi hain. He cares for you and is hurt because you hurt yourself. Well moreover agar woh naraaz hain toh aap mana lena. Itni tension mat lo. Also, I am really sorry. Mein aapko upset nahi karna chahti thi."

(No Di, he is not angry. He cares for you and is hurt because you hurt yourself. Well moreover, if he is angry then you ask for forgiveness. Don't take so much tension. Also, I am really sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.)

"Woh maan toh jayenge na Choti…is se pehle kabhi maine unhein itne gusse mein nahi dekha. Today is such a special day for you. Itna kuch plan kiya unhone and maine unhein naraaz kar diya."

(He will forgive me right Choti…I have never seen him so angry before. Today is such a special day for you. He planned so much for you and I made him upset.)

Meera smiled seeing her Di worried about Maan so much. She wiped her tears sweetly "Di, koi baat nahi. I really enjoyed my special day. And I hope aap is baat ko samjho ki you are not alone. Sirf aap mere liye nahi balki mein bhi hoon aap ke saath. Maan Bhai aur Daadima bhi hain aapke saath. I know aapne bahut kuch dekha hai Di. Logon ne kya, apnon ne bhi baar baar aapko taane diye honge na. Lekin Di, woh kaise apne? Saari zindagi aapne dukh paya hain un apno ki baat sun kar. Ab ek baar aap un logon ki baat suno jinka aapke saath khoon ka nahi par dil ka rishta hai.

I care for you di and I know it is not easy but you have to take pride in being part of this small family. You have to take pride in yourself. Aap kisi se kam nahi ho and bad omen? Look at me Di…mein woh ladki hoon jise samaaj ne, mere khud ke parents ne marne ke liye chod diya. Aap meri zindagi mein khushiyon ki bahaar leke aaye ho Di. You have broght hope and smile to so many of us. Jise bhi aapne chua, uske chere pe ek smile aa gayi. Toh phir aap kala saaya kaise ho sakti ho?

Kisi aur ko aap ki zaroorat ho na ho, mujhe hai Di. You are my family. I don't say that go and find a boy friend or marry fisrt person you meet. Nahi Di. But don't think you are worthless because to me you are priceless."

("Di, don't worry. I really enjoyed my special day. And I hope that you realize that you are not alone. No only you are for me but I am also there for you. Maan bhai and Daadima is also there with you. I know that you have undergone a lot Di. Leave the society, your own family must have taunted you. But di, how are they our won? Whole life you have suffered after listening to them. Now for a change listen to those who may not have blood ties with you but are tied to you from heart.

I care for you di and I know it is not easy but you have to take pride in being part of this small family. You have to take pride in yourself. You are not less than anyone or a bad omen? Look at me Di…I am the same girl who was left to die by this society and my own parents. You broght happiness in my life Di. You have broght hope and smile to so many of us. Whomsoever you touched, you brought smile on that person's face. Then how can you be a black shadow?

Anybody else may have need for you or not, but I do. You are my family. I don't say that go and find a boy friend or marry fisrt person you meet. No Di. But don't think you are worthless because to me you are priceless.)

Geet smiled slightly at Meera's emotional and love filled words which touched her heart – "Thanks Meera. Somewhere I know and I will try my best to move on. But we are part of this society and sometimes I just get dragged by what has been taught to me since my childhood. It is not that easy to forget everything. But when I look at you, I understand what you are saying. I promise I will try but I need time."

Yeh Jeevan Hai, Is Jeevan Ka
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Rungroop
Thode Ghum Hain, Thodi Khushiyan
Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai - Yahi Hai Chaon Dhoop
Yeh Jeevan Hai.

"Koi na di…you take as much time but try…dil se. Haan…aur jahan tak Maan Bhai ki baat hai. Aap unhein phone kar ke wapis bulao…arrey aise kaise chale gaye. Unhein toh hum chutki mein mana lenge."

(No worries di…you take as much time but try…from your heart…and as far as Maan bhai is concerned. You call him and ask him to come back. How can he leave and go just like that. We will make him happy in a jiffy.)

Geet got excited at her words – "Sach mein…."

"Hmmm"

Geet immediately called Maan but Maan did not pick up the phone. He was very angry and decided to avoid Geet for sometime to make her realize how hurt he was with her words.

Geet's hazels got teary as Maan did not pick her phone. Meera shook her head "Yeh dono teenagers hain ki main…ufff"

(Am I a teenager or these two?)

"Di…he must be driving. Aur aap dukhi kyon ho…kal office jake sorry bol dena. Sab thik ho jayega. It's not like you will not meet him again…chalo ab mera new room dekho…Maan bhai bhi na….wow kitna sundar lag raha hai na" and with that Meera successfully distracted Geet.

(Di…he must be driving. And why are you so sad. Say sorry to him tomorrow in office. Everything will be ok. It's not like you will not meet him again…come let's explore my new room…Maan bhai is awesome….everything is so pretty right.)
