He knew that maan had took the right decision,bt still he couldnt help bt worry that he would hurt her,AGAIN
He didnt know why,bt he felt this strong urge of protectiveness towards her from the moment their eyes met. NO,he wasnt melted by the facial beauty that geet had. In fact he almost hated her the moment maan had told him that she is AKRITI.
Bt then all changed for him the moment she opened her eyes,the moment his eyes met hers deep orbs something in him told him that she wasnt the BITCh maan thought her to be
Love,joy ,pain,fear,sadness,happiness, naughtiness ,care.& specially INNOCENCE.all these emotions were reflected by her eyes so clearly,as if they were not eyes,bt mirror of her pure soul.
He didnt know why,bt he wanted to protect this purity,this innocence of her with all his mighthe wanted to pamper her,spoil her like a princess & that he was doingwithout thinking,actually he couldnt find any reasoning,so at one pointhe gave up thinking why he was doing
Chris,chris,are listen to me na...
he came out of his thought.
Yes yes my queen what do u want...this gulam is at ur service.he bowed dramatically.
Geet rolled her eyes,tum itna drama kyun karte ho? Mere maan ko dekho,wo kitne acche hai,wo kavi mujhe nahi chidate,kuch sikho,warna tumhari patni tumhe maregi,Ha...
ok,ok human train, thoda break laga ke baat karo,warna pata chala ki baat karte karte hi tumhara heaven chali gayi,to aur koi kya karega pata nahi,par dadi,meera aur dev will kill me.
KYUUUNNN sabse pehle maan ayenge na. She giggled cutely.
he sighed,if only he could tell her the truth & free this chirpy bird from this virtual cage...
*****
The marriage itself was kept in minimal,as they wanted to avoid people,the more people,the more it will difficult to handle & tell them the truth,even if they had managed to do so,their would be no guarantee that people won't ask questions to geet directly,which could be fatal to her health.
Maan actually wanted to directly do the registry in some pretext cause signing the registry would form a doubt in geet's heart & ofcourse fill her mang...that's it.
Bt dadi was against it,that girl,without her parents,without her home,without her PEHCHAN,& with her virginity lost...she didn't want to snatch anymore from her,not her dreams atleast...Savi ladki ke dil me apne shadi ko leke ek armaan hota hai,ki meri shadi aisi hogi...she didn't want to snatch that girl's now unconscious dream,NO,it was more than her dream,IT WAS HER RIGHT...to be married with all the rituals.
Bt they did invite only family members & those really close to them...bt not on marriage,they decided to throw a reception party...
*****
Maan watched her from far,YES he was afraid to go near her,afraid that if he even touches the breeze in which she breathed he would destroy this fragile angel.
He watched her as she happily took meera's baby girl in her arms & cooed her with funny faces .
It was like as if she was radiating this warm,gentle ,soothing aura...jo vi use dekhta uska dil khush ho jata,sabke andar se sare gussa,sare shikayate,sare gam jaise wo soak (absorb) leti thi...
Jo vi uske pass se gujarta,uske chehre par muskurahat aa jati,even Maan, who wanted to restrain himself from any kind of happiness in life coudn't help bt smile whenever he just watched her...why didn't he noticed her earlier?? Why didn't he noticed this angel?? Why did he only see that BITCH's face which the angel had ?
(I an sorry if i write anything wrong about marriage rituals,i don't know the rituals in proper order & couldn't find any site also which depicted it step by step)
ofcourse sagai part was skipped,they held the mehendi ceremony...
Dekho,kitna gada (dark) rang aaya hai,tumhara pati tumhe bohut pyaar karega...meera said.
Di app vi na, mere pati mujhse to pyaar karte to hai hi,ye to main janti hu.
Meera couldn't say anything,actually seeing the black colour of her mehendi,her tongue just slipped saying the most common & traditional thing,bt ironically she knew this time that what geet was thinking wasn't true,wasn't true at all...
Geet was jumpy & enjoying all the rituals,just looking at her enjoying would bring a smile on ur lips...bt as the rituals progressed one by one,it was as if her light was starting to fade away.
Kya hua baccha? Dev planted an affectionate pat on her head.She had become the little sister he always wanted,bt never had.
Kuch nahi bhaiji.she responded dejectedly.
Well ,there was certainly something,bt maybe a girly thing...he thought
So he sent meera & dadi to her room.
Kya hua beta?ye chand itna utra hua kyun hai??
Ha Ge...i mean AKRITI why are u so sad,look,ur niece is also upset seeing u so upset...Meera said ...it was not at all strange that even after so many months, they couldn't get used to calling geet akriti. They simply couldn't ,how can they possibly relate this angel to that BITCH's name, or even anything connected to her??
Geet looked at dadi & meera..then ponced on them hugging them,pouring her heart out crying...MUJHE KUCH YAAD KYUN NAHI AA RAHA DADI??I WANT TO REMEMBER,HOW OUR MARRIAGE WAS<HOW MAAN FILLED EVERY SECOND OF MINE WITH LOVE, HOW WE WERE BINDED IN THIS SACRED TIE...
she clang to dadi & in a desperate voice...I WANT TO REMEMBER DADI,I DON'T WANT TO FORGET ALL THOSE PRECIOUS MOMENT,WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER?? WHY? WHY? WHY?
She buried her head in dadi's lap as she cried like a kid. Meera couldn't see her like this. This little girl, with no fault of her,was suffering so endlessly...tears gathered in her eyes seeing her in so pain.
Bt as if it wasn't enough,she heard geet whispering from dadi's lap,mujhe hamare pyaar ke pal yaad nahi aa rahe hai, to mujhe itni taklif ho rahi hai,pata nahi jinhone mujhe itni khusiya di hai,Mere MAAN, unko na jane kitni taklif ho rahi hogi...
Meera couldn't handle more,she ran out of the room with her hands on her mouths to prevent any sound of sobbing...
while dadi just sat their like a statue...first time in her life,she didn't know what to do...
Still, she gathered her courage,beta...she lifted geet holding her shoulders.
Jo hota hai acche ke liye hota hai,shayed babaji vi yahii chahte hai ki tum maan ke saath nayi yaadien banao..
Something inside her head jolted hearing "Babaji"..her head went black & she could only see a diary with a hand writing on it...
"DEAR BABAJI,PATA HAI...APP MERE BESTEST FRIEND HO.."
Geet ,geet ,GEET,dadi's loud voice brought her back...
App thik ho??
Ha dadi,mujhe kya hua hai..
Hum darr gaye the,Kuchh seconds ke liye app ko dekh kar laga ki app behosh hone wali hai..
Main thik hu dadi...
Are u sure?
Yes dadi,
Dadi lovingly patted her cheek,
jyada pressure mat do apne app ko, agar kuch yaad nahi aata, to koi baat nahi,nayi yaadien bana lo...
*****
Here maan was definitely not ok,he was coming to geet to ask something,when he heard geet pouring her heart out to dadi,he couldn't help bt freeze in his place,with each word of her,it was like he sank another level...bt with her last words..
,mujhe hamare pyaar ke pal yaad nahi aa rahe hai, to mujhe itni taklif ho rahi hai,pata nahi jinhone mujhe itni khusiya di hai,Mere MAAN, unko na jane kitni taklif ho rahi hogi...
He felt nauseated ..he ran to another room & spilled out the contents of his stomach & heart...he felt so dirty, so disgusted with himself...he looked at the spilled contents as it flushed away with water...
he smiled sarcastically looking at himself in the mirror...kya soch raha hai..he could see the MAAN on the other side of mirror talking to him,
Yahi na ki accha hota agar dil ki gandagi(garbage) agar aise asani se chala jata?
The other maan laughed at him...Aisa kavi nahi hoga..tu tadpega,zindegi bhar,tu tadpega,for spoiling that angel,tu tadpega,tu tadpega,saza ke liye bhik mangega(begging) ..lekin tujhe saza nahi milegi...Tu tadpega,MAAN SING KHURANA,APNE SAZA KE LIYE TADPEGA...His other self laughed at him more.
He couldn't handle it...he punched the mirror,bt still ...his other self continued to laugh at him...
Maan ran out of their..he sat in the chair as one by one vents crossed his minds..from his & Akriti's marriage to his destroying geet...
Blood was dripping from his fist bt he didn't care,he wanted to run to geet & beat himself up until he dropped dead...he wanted hand & knife in her hand & confess his sins to her so that she could slash him until she wanted...gun,no it was the easy way out..he wanted to suffer,suffer for his sins.
He closed his eyes...
...
...
FIRE...maan watched the fire r flicker...he watched it as it rapidly came near to engulf him..pat.pat.pat...he could hear his skin burning...
Never he knew he would be in so much peace upon feeling this pain of burning.
Wait,why the fire feels so warm instead of burning him??
He opened his eyes with a startle...
where was the fire.?? he was sitting in the arm chair in the cold damp room..
he looked at himself & found himself draped in geet's fluffy shawl ..with her scent still lingering in it.
He sighed...wish this dream was true...
