Dev had to speak to Geet. But before that he had to know abt his bhai. It was the best thing that had happened to him. He couldn't be happier. So many things happened.. suddenly prison, divorce & then marriage with Meera ..the events that happened one after the other.. & the news his bro was no more.. all was too soon & difficult for him to comprehend. For him it was like his brother was there, far some where!!! He had still not come in term with the reality of his death. Even when Geet got admission in the same city as where they were brought up...he preferred to be quiet. He couldn't think of his family house without his brother. Their house.. that city everything only made him feel..Maan his bhai was there some where.. Geet going there was like going to bhai.. he couldn't have voiced his thoughts to anyone..it would have sounded so silly. But when he saw Geet first time filling her mang yesterday.. it was like dream come true!! thats why not even for a minute did his heart doubt it could have been mistaken identity.. something like u believe wat u want to believe. He had not seen his brothers body.. he had not seen him in India.. so he preferred to live in his brothers sweet memories. He had not contacted anyone after Maans death in US because he was heart broken & some where scared to face them. He didn't even care abt their house in US.. since it meant nothing to him..without his bhai. Everything only reminded of him. Even the truth that bhiaya came to India only for him & then that accident made Dev more guiltier.
But now he had everything in his life .. his bhaiya.. most beatiful bhabhi.. he knows.. Geet is the best for his bhaiya.. especially knowing his bhaiya's temper & mood swings, only Geet could handle him. Also he knows Geet is angry at him right now.. but his bhaiya agar manane pe aajayen tho Geet won't be able to stay away from his charm. Especially when he gets naughty. With all high hopes he called his bhai. His heart beat was rising with every ring.. he held his breath.. the moment Maan picked the call.. Maan was bit confused seeing an unknown number
Maan very sceptically answered ' hello
oh.. god.. tears just poured hearing his voice.. Dev's words choked
bhai ..he said in a very weak tone
Maan eyes burned instantly recognizing his little brothers voice. With that followed the bitter memories of past freshened. It was like yesterday... when he left her in the madap & took a car to the near by village where he had heard abt Dev & his wife. He was still not sure wat her name was!! one of his detective had just called with fresh information on his brother & his wife. It was so embarrassing to learn his brother actually deceived a girl's & his wife was behind all this. Only next day he got to hear from the detective that they had flee to Canada.
first was his Daadi who had been tricked him into the marriage by her nautanki heart attack, he was not close to Daadi so her false heart attack story only left an ugly image in his heart.. & this women who trade her husband for money was unthinkable.. above that they ruined someones life. And when he came back to his so called bride... whom he was planning to any way part ways, disappeared leaving their families. Her family too refused to talk to him. All that only broke him completely. How much he was trying to respect every relation.. everything seemed to play ugly tricks on him.
Maan held back all the emotions that was brimming
wrong number he spoke in cold tone.. reflecting nothing
but the hidden anger Dev could sense.
Before Dev could say another word Maan cut the call. He sat there numb!!! so much pain he endured only his heart knows. Daadi never lived with them in US so he was never close to her. Only family he treasured was Dev.
Maan had done everything he could to bring him up with good values but he could stoop so low to play with others life..tattered him... is that wat he instilled in him.. where did he go wrong in bringing him up ..he didn't know. He punished himself mercilessly all this years in the darkness. Worst he didn't have anyone by his side to hold him.. the only person who he could call right now he felt was Geet. He searched for her number.. disturbed Pari in her honeymoon.
She had caught him off guard & blew him away in her. She simply captivated him.. the same way she did when he looked into her eyes. It felt so peaceful to divert his painful past to her sweet angelic essence.
lots of love
