Part-19

They reached the venue, got down from the car .as they started to move Rahul held Anie's hand without being noticed by Maan and Geet. He just wanted to keep her with him behind Maan and Geet

.So he made her slow.but it didn't go unnoticed by both of them and both smiled at the attempt that rahul made to keep Anie with himself.

Maan-Rahul ..Don't forget that we are here with her.and rahul instantly left her hand and anie was red on her brother's comment.and she came forward near Geet and Geet gave her a smile and anie blushed at that.

They reached the hall and Geet found Ritika there and she instantly came behind Rahul so that ritika couldn't see her.

Geet in her mind-OMG Ritika maam here??..What she is doing here? What if she sees me.. I know she will recognize me.

Ritika Saw all of them and came to near them(It was decided earlier itself that Ritika will pretend to know only Rahul as he was carrying them there So Ritika said hello only to Rahul and then Rahul introduces her with Maan and Anie.

Then he said -And this is Geet ..my sister ...but he saw thet Geet was not with him.

He called Geet ..Geet

Maan and Anie were surprised for not finding Geet with them and then Rahul turned and found Geet hiding behind himself.

Rahul - what happened Geet ? why are you hiding behind me, come here and he held her to bring beside himself and Ritika's eyes were wide-Tum yahaan?

Geet gulped hard to see her . All present there were surprised at Ritika's comment.

Rahul -Kya hua Maam .She is geet and she is my sister.

Ritika -So she is your sister and I can never forget this face .

Geet was standing there embarrassed she was thinking about her image which was going to be turned down in front of her both families

Maan-Maam is everything all right.What did she do and how do you know her?

Ritika-Maan I have gone the college to take the classes from where Geet has done her degree and you know her batchmates harrassed me a lot and She was one of them.

Maan/Anie/Rahul-what???

Geet-No maam it was not like that..actually we all were angry on you to raplace our fav.faculty.We all loved her a lot.she was just like a friend to usThat's why we did that.we just wanted our fav.faculty back

Rahul-Koi hume bhi bataayega ki kya hua?

Ritika-You know I went to teach them and as I sat on my chair I fell down because they broke it's one leg.

Geet-No maam humne toda nahin tha that was already broken, we only kept it there.

Ritika-What ..it was already broken .see Rahul kah to aise rahi hai jaise crime thoda kam ho gaya uss se. and Geet what about that cartoon of mine..that was pasted very where in college.you know Rahul we all treatened them to call their parents even we gave them zero marks in one project but whole batch was so united that no one was ready to tell the name of the culprit.all accepted their faliure in that project.

Geet swallowed her saliva.

Ritika-But you know Geet why we didn't call your parents that time?.

Geet shook her head

Ritika -Because I was impressed by the unity that you all shared with eachother.I loved the bonding you all had.waise kaun tha uss cartoon ke peechhe

Rahul -Caartooon.??.Geet tum ..

Geet showed her eyes to Rahul to keep quiet.

Geet-Maam Why do you want to know now...will u punish that person.

Ritika laughed loud at this"No way Geet. I just want to know.Punishment deni hoti to tabhi deti ..achhha bataao kisne banaya tha

Geet -sorry maam ..wo mm mm maine hi banaya tha. And I m really sorry now.

Maan smiled to hear her sorry and Anie tried to muffle her laughter.

Rahul too was surprised At that-Geet yaar kisi ko chhoda tumne ya nahin..

Ritika-It's okey Rahul I just wanted to know .Finally I can see the culprit now.

Geet gave her a nervous smile and again said a sorry to her.

Ritika-No need now geet. Come all u have your seats please...I have some work back stage...and she went after offering them their seats.

All settled on chairs.First there was a fashion show which presented the new trends to come in to the coming season.

After Fashion show was over Ritika took the podium and said-dear guests ..Now it's time for the most important event of this evening.Our association organizes a contest every year in which we invite all the new designer to take part, so that they can know theirselves better.we invite the designers from all over the country and by passing through many challenges, top five are being short listed.and today we are going to present our best five through a cat walk.our panel of judges will have a look at them and judge them to declair the best one. Name of the designer will be delaired later . This year the theme was -bridal and we got so many beautiful bridal outfits that it was very tough to select top five.But We had to do that and now all best designs are going to be presented before you. Right now dresses are given the no.s from 1-5..so let's start the presentation...Give them a huge round of applauds to encourage our new designers...

Maan, Rahul and Anie started to change their positions in the chair out of nervousness and fear for the outburst of Geet.

Show started..it started with No.1 then 2 and the no.3 was of Geet..

And geet saw that and couldn't get instantly but was confused to see that dress.She found that dress familier and then it stricked in her mind. Her eyes were wide with confusion. She thought -how could this dress be here ..I never applied for this competition and then she looked at Maan ..He gave her a scared smile and Geet remembered that Maan asked for her signatures on some papers few days before so it was clear to her how her dress was here.

She looked at all one by one but all were sitiing quitely without meeting with her gaze which was pricking all of them.Geeet was sitting quietly there. Presentation was over and it was time to decide the best dress among them.

All were too beautiful so it was tough for judges to find out the best as Ritika too said that earlier in her introduction speech.

After some time results were in Ritika's hands she was again on podium to declare the winner,She requested all the finalists to come on to the stage .As Geet's name was announced she too got up and went up to the stage.Other four were...

Indu, Pravallika,Aanya and Priya

Ritika declared the winner,She started with the dress which got least marks..

Ritika -Friends all dresses were beautiful but we have to declare these in order of overall presentation.

So the dress which stands at fifth position is dress no-o4 designed by Aanya

Aanya came forward .All clapped for Aanya.

Ritika -At no.four is dress no.05 and the designer is-Pravallika..please give her a big applause

Pravallika accepted the appreciatin from the audience

Ritika next one -which got third place is Dress no.O1 and the owner is Indu

Indu came ahead and received her certificate.

Now it was time for the first two places.Anie was praying hard to God to make Geet win Heart beats of Maan and Rahul were increasing with every passing moment.

One person who was totally unaffected by all the happenings was Geet. She was standing there only to keep the grace of the competition.She knew that she couldn't back out from here after reaching that stage.She thought too about her family who were sitting there and she didn't want them to feel humiliated .Those were the reasons that she was standing there.

Ritika -And now it's the time to declare the dress which got second prize.I want to tell you all thet both are so beautiful that we can'r say which one is more beautiful. But then judges decided on the fact that the best dress should be treditional yet eye catching.

So on this basis of that factor second prize goes to the dress no-02 and the creater is Priya. Please welcome priya with a huge applause

And hearing this Anie shouted loudly while clapping -Yeh... bhabhi won. I m so happy

Maan and Rahul hugged each other in happiness for the mission being successful.

And ritika announced - And that means the prize for the best bridal wear goes to Geet.Please all give her a huge welcome.

Geet came forward and she received the trophy from the chief guest.She held the trophy and moved down of the stage

Ritika-Geet Please two words.

Geet saw her Ritika was near Geet so she can see that she was hurt.

Geet nodded and came to the podium and said-I thank each n every person who is the reason to make me stand here with this trophy.that's all ...thanku once again.She got down and moved towards the exit without saying a word to any one.

All followed her towards the parking.

They reached near the car.They were the first to come out of the hall so no one was there in parking.

Anie-Bhabhi please say some thing

Maan and Rahul were ready for Geet's out burst ,her anger.her accusation, her fight but her silence was unbearable for them.

Geet was standing with her back towards them.Rahul came near her and turned her towards himself .he was shocked to see the wetness with some pain whish was saying that she was hurt.

Rahul took the trophy from her and gave it to Maan.Rahul cupprd her face-Geet say some thing .At least fight with me for hiding this from you.Don't be so silent .Please ..

Geet looked at her brother and those stopped tears rolled down from her eyes.Rahul wiped them and signaled her to not cry.and he hugged her to himself.Geet was still silent.

Maan now noticed about her that Geet was usually silent when ske was in pain or she was hurt for something.At the time of Yash's death she was quiet too.she didn't cry much that time too.

Geet after few minutes-Kyun kiya aap logon ne aisa.I told you all that I didn't want to be a designer.I don't have any dream or any aim to do something like this.to kyun kiya Rahul kyun.ek baar nahin socha tumne ki mujhe lkaisa lagega jab mujhe pata chalega ki mere apne hi mujhe dhokha de rahe hain.

Rahul-you said so that day.And we all didn't want you to live like that. that's why we did all this in this way.we wanted you to be happy.Geet kab tak aise hi khamosh jiti rahogi Geet. Me and Maan only wanted you come out of your shell.that's it Geet.

Geet smiled and said to Maan-Maan if some one trusts you blindly that doesn't mean that you will take advantage of that.

Rahul-Geet it was all for you not for us.what wrong we did?

Maan -Geet what wrong we did if we wanted you to be happy.and what advantage I got .I didn't use your trust for my benefit .It was only for you for your well being.

Geet-But it is me only maan who will decide what I want from me in my life.kab tak dusre log mere baare me faisla lenge .kab tak main doosron ke sapno ke liye jiyun .maine apna har sapne mita diya hai to mujhe kyun nahin rahne dete jaise main rahna chahti hoon.

Rahul-geet why are you talking like this.If you have something in your heart then say it.Let it be out of your mind and heart geet.

Maan-Don't ask her Rahul . Today I will tell you why she is doing this.why she didn't want to do some thing .Why she didn't want to fulfill the dream of yash to see her as a successful designer .Why she is behaving like this..

Geet looked at Maan with some confusion.

Maan-Geet don't look at me like this .I know the reason why you have decided to not to be a designer.

Rahul and Anie were watching Geet and Maan with some surprise-What was there that Maan knows about Geet .

Precap-Last one continues( Maan decides to give her a reality check)
