Devayani:You.
Arnav and Geet were shocked.
A:Nani?
D:Why?You are still thinking of the girl friend who left you and got engaged to someone else?
Arnav was silent.
D:Geet'can you deny that when Arnav is near you, you feel happy.
G:Yes.I can't deny it.Like a good friend he wipes my tears.
D:Then why don't you both take the friendship to the next level?
Geet was in tears.
A:Nani,what nonsense!
D:Today's generation is like this.Even if we give love and care they don't bother about elders.Theyareso selfish.Geet'what is your plan after I die?You will again think of suicide?
Geet was silent.
D:I don't want you to end up committing suicide and Arnav to lead a chronic bachelor's life.Geet'if you were to commit suicide again why did Arnav save you?You have no consideration for the family which stood by you?
Geet's heart was pierced terribly.
D:My fate is to die out of tension and worries about you both.You both are so selfless.
Geet burst out:Please'enough Naniji.I am willing to obey you.
She ran inside crying.
Devayani smiled.She thought:
Sorry God.I had to give her pain to make her take an important decision for her future safety.
She stared at Arnav:Arnav'don't you think that you have the responsibility to take carfe of gEet?She has no one.
A:I will take care of her.But why should I marry her?
D:What will public say if you live with her without marriage?
A:I don't care about the public.
D:You don't have to.But Geet is a woman.It will affect her very badly.She won't be able to face public.They will insult her.No itself people are blabbering about your relationship with Geet.Do you know that?
Arnav felt upset.
D:I am waiting for your reply chotte.
A:Ok.Your wish Nani.
She smiled.
Arnav went to Geet's room.She was upset.
A:I can understand your situation.But don't be too upset.We will be husband and wife only in front of others.I promise.
Geet was relieved:Thank you Arnav.You have always been a good friend to me.You are so understanding.
Geet held his hand to thank him.Devayani who passed by saw this and mistook their relationship.
She smiled:I never thought that everything would be fine this fast.
Devayani arranged a small engagement function for Arnav and Geet.When they exchanged rings their heart pained as they were reminded of Maan and Khushi.
Devayani caressed them together and said:So this is my chotte and my little daughter in law Geet.
She was very happy so as the guests.But Arnav and Geet were dull.
After a few days'.
Arnav:For my Business needs we need to go to Mumbai.We have to stay there for a few days.
Devayani:Where will we stay?
A:I have arranged a house.
D:Then we will shift soon.
Arnav,Devayani and Geet moved to Mumbai.
D:It's a new place for us.Arnav and Geet are going to start a new life also.So let us have a puja in the temple.What do you say?
A:Your wish Nani.
G:Puja is nice Naniji.It gives us relief.
Devayani smiled.
Savitri Devi was walking in the temple.Geet was walking with the plate for puja.
Savitri's leg slipped.She was about to fall down.Suddenly somebody caught her hand.She looked at that person.It was Geet.
S:Thank you beta for saving me.
G:Madam,how are you?
S:I am fine.But call me Dadimaa.That's how all youngsters call me.
Geet smiled:Ok Dadimaa.
S:What is your name?
G:I am Geet.
S:Sweet name.My grand son's late wife's name is also Geet.
Geet smiled simply.
Geet took the pot of water from the plate and fed her water.Savitri looked at the plate and the pot.
S:My God!It was for puja.Right?
Devayani came:It is ok.Geet used this water for giving relief to an elderly person.God will only bless her.
Savitri smiled.
D:I am Devayani Singh Raizada.Geet's fiance's grand mother.But Geet is like my own grand daughter.
Savitri smiled:I am Savitri Devi.I also have a grand daughter like Geet.My grand son's fiance.
Devayani smiled.
Arnav came forward.
D:This is my grand son Arnav.He is engaged to Geet.
S:O!Wish you both a happy married life in advance.
G:Thank you Dadimaa.
D:Savitriji,since we are not strangers anymore we would be happy if you also attend our puja.
Savitri smiled:Sure.Attending a puja always gives us happiness.
They became happy.
Savitri attended the puja.Lots of poor kids were there.Geet served them prasad.
Savitri thought:Devayaniji is lucky to get a daughter in law like Geet.Among the new generation it's difficult to find a girl like Geet.
Savitri went home.She was cheerful.
M:After coming back from the temple you look so cheerful.
S:Ya.I met a girl there.She saved me from falling down.Very nice girl.You know her name is also Geet.
Maan's face became dull.
S:I don't know why.I felt that she belonged to our family.
Maan walked away.He was reminded of his Geet.He felt pain.
Khushi was haunted by Arnav's pain.She cried privately.Maan came in.He gave her a kerchief.
She wiped her tears.
M:Khushi,now a days you look very depressed.
K:Nothing like that Maanji.
M:I also used to feel that it was just my stupid feeling.But then I felt that I was right.You think I can't see tears in your eyes?Now also you cried.Can you deny?
Khushi was upset.
M:Tell me Khushi'what is bothering you?
Khushi was silent.
M:Can I ask you something?Do you love anyone else?
Khushi stared at Maan with tension.Savitri passed by.She entered the room hearing Maan's question.
S:Tell us Khushi.Do you love anyone?If so please don't hide it from us.If you are upset about it then we will cancel yours and Maan's wedding and get him here.Your happiness is more important for us.We don't want you to cry through out your life.
Khushi burst into tears and hugged Savitri.
