Chapter 5-Entry of the problem solver
She was happily making the tea, WOW he looks so handsome!! He told that he teaches in geet's school. WAIT, i have met all of them he wasn't among them. Did he just join? Or is he telling a lie! Ohh! Leave it ! I don't care who he is,he looked so utterly delicious that couldn't refuse to let him in. How should i start the conversation? May be i can tell some stories about my miseries...cry a little...like Bikas, Where does he live? I have to get all the in informations. & specially i have to make sure that i don't be careless like that time!
Then she heard maan scream OH MY GOD!! SHE IS BURNING!!
She ran to geet's room URRGGHH!! this girl is here only to make my life miserable. She thought.
Kya hua?
Didn't you check her fever in a while? She is burning with fever!
Wo, i don't know how this happened, i just checked her 10 minutes ago. She lied blatantly.
Pls check her temperature..
Rina was fuming, this girl..always kills my plans!!
she reluctantly gave him the thermometer after retreating it from Geet's mouth.
After checking the temperature he was shocked! She has 105 degree fever!!
Mrs handa, soak a towel in cold water & place that on her temple, & change it when it becomes warm. That should reduce her temperature a little.
Make hot porridge, or similar to that ,hot & easy to swallow . Make her eat that,then give her medications &cover her with warm blankets..He was really concerned about her after seeing her rising temperature.
Uh..ok,
Wait did u call the Doctor?
Uh..no
WHAT? are u mad!! Ur daughter's fever was rising this whole day & u didn't call the doctor!
Oh, i was taking care of her & as u can see there was noone else in the house ,how could i leave her alone..she lied...the truth was geet's friends were whole days there taking care of her, DOING THE CHORES IN HER PLACE.
Ok, i would call a doctor now.
NO I WOULD GO.
Mrs handa, try to understand, U take care of her & i can easily call the doctor & buy the medications.
No, i mean, u don't know our family doctor & he won't come at this hour to anyone's house unless anyone from our house goes to call him & other doctor's medications doesn't suit geet..she told a string of lies with ease.
U can write a note & i will show him.Ur daughter needs u.Take care of her.
NO!! NEVER!! Maan looked at her incredulously...I , I mean that Doctor will only come when me anyone from our family goes .
Bt mrs han..
Before he could say a word Rina almost ran from there,leaving maan alone with geet,
On the way she thought..
Bach gayi, ab wo geet ke saath joo mazi kare, atelast i don't have to be the nurse for her..YUCK!! & DOCTOR!! hmpp! who would waste money for a monkey like that! I will spend my time on a nice spa,then on a restaurant..then will return & cook up some stories...doctor nahi mila...i went to find him..& all.
****
So maan, how was ur visit to Geet's Home? Principle asked.
Actually i felt quite awkward going to her house,as i had met her just the day before yesterday.
Bt u were in tension thinking about geet's fragile health
Yeah!! anyone would be, since she got fever only by getting wet in the rain only for 5 minutes..bt going to her house when i hardly know her is too much..
Principle sighed, Ya i know maan, & sorry for ur trouble. Bt u know i couldn't sent any other teacher...
Yes u told me that Mrs HANDA knows that all the other teacher cares about geet & so she will be conscious about her behavior with geet in front of them. As i am new in this school, she might be a little careless around me.
So, did u get any proves.
No I DIDN"T GET ANY PROVE ABOUT MRS.HANDA ABUSING GEET. Though when i went there geet was burning with fever, & MOST OF ALL, not even once did she ask question about me , a young teacher being there in a odd time...as from a mother's point of view i expected her to shower me with questions. Bt this will not prove that mrs handa is abusing her daughter.
Principle sighed, u know maan,though the girl always tries to look cheerful, i know that she is suffering, the way her brother orders her & she does them without uttering any word, the way her mother doesn't stop Brij from bullying her, the way she is always afraid to go home...Specially when ONLY HER MOTHER IS AT HomE...it all indicates to only one thing...
Bt how come u never suspected Mr Handa?
Well, we would have, bt he is almost always out of town for business trips & whenever he comes...geet looks a bit happy.
I understand that u are trying to save a brilliant child from getting abused,u always did thinks like that & heard them from my mother. Bt why this much secrecy & care about geet? Why u are being SO MUCH persistent about her?
He paused a little, I have seen geet from little,since she was in this school from her primary level,i wish i could adopt her as my daughter & give her the happiness she deserves... the elderly man said, She is such a lovely girl...
Sir if u don't mind can i suggest something?
Yeah go on
I want to involve two more person in this.
Maan do u know what u are saying? I am trying to keep this secret & even if geet's mother gets caught,it will be kept a secret, & u know that..U know that if this news comes out, the one will face disaster will be geet, since she herself goes around telling people,how her parents love her, her whole school life, actually her WHOLE LIFE will turn into a living nightmare..u..
SIR Pls come down. I trust those two persons...they are my childhood friends ,i assure u that they won't spill the beans.& it would be easier to collect evidences if more than on people is involved.
Principle thought for sometime, i am giving permission cause i know ur family & u.So who are they.
They are Biology & chemistry teachers in this school, SAMEERA & ADITYA.
OH they are very good kids, Ok, i can involve them.
Ok uncle..see you.
principle glared at him playfully
OOPS!! sorry, old habits die hard i guess. See you sir, he said with a smile & went out of the room.
Precap- Same...& ..Maan's Encounter with geet's father SURAJ (for the person who misread, In THIS FF geet's father is SURAJ,not mohinder)
