Part 20
(seriously..i don't know why,bt i am feeling totally fired up today to touch ur hearts with this update. So do tell me if i was successful or did i fail.)
(Those who were asking why maan is pushing geet away even after knowing geet's feelings... The answer is..HE DIDN'T FORgeT. HE DIDN'T FORGET WHAT he did To her,how he deceived her,took advantage of her & most of all...R**D her. IF he lets her come closer to him,let her feelings grow,it would mean he is taking advantage of her...where she would forgive him for all his sins & he wouldn't be able to EVEN RETURN THAT LOVE . It would be most unfair . SO he thought to give geet initial pain . SO that she could try forget her love for him & start a new life & find someone who would return her feelings.She would be at pain first,bt maan did that thinking about her good. He didn't want her to be struck with a monster ..a Ra**ist like him.)
Geet beta,ye dekhiye apki favorite chocolate cake. Dadi said desperrately.
Geet dekho ,tum hamesha mujhe kehti ho na ki i dress up badly . Now you can't say that. Dev said with broken voice as he posed infront of her in the most bad combination.
Geet dekh na dev meri baat sunte hi nahi,main keh rahi hu ye suit bakwas hai. Wo to teri baat sunte hai na... Tu bol na konsi wali acchi hai.
Geet Beta,hume shopping bhi jana tha na. Main, tum aur meera...
Geet ...chal na,bol main konsi sari pehnu? Ya should i wear salwar?
Geet dekho baby bhi jane ke liye taiyar hai.
They placed the little girl on her lap.
But babies have sense of their own. The little girl instantly sensed the coldness instead of the usual warmth & smiled showered on her & thus started to cry.
Geet chup kara na Kavika (dev & meera's baby girl) ko.
She didn't budge.
Geet ...tu janti hai na...kii ye jab aisa roti hai to tere sivai koi ise chup nahi kara sakta? Meera said finally breaking down.
Chup kara na isse...She screamed.
But geet didn't even blink while the baby on her lap continued crying.
Geet,tumhe dadi aur meera ke saath shopping jana tha na...to ready to ho jao. Aur ...tum...u can call me in the middle of a meeting...to irritate me...to order me to carry ur shopping bags...sirf...kuch to bolo...tum jo kahogi karunga...Dev said as tears made their way in his eyes.
Meera couldn't stand anymore. She took the baby & ran out of the room crying,while dadi clamped her mouth with her hand to stop sobbing loudly.
Geet ...Chris called her. But she still was looking at nothing,with that blank look in her eyes.
It was as if she felt nothing. She heard nothing...&...saw only the same nightmare again & again leaving her as nothing but a body without soul.
Geet ,Chris cupped her face with both hands to make her look at him.
Geet can you hear me? He said in a professional voice looking directly in her eyes.
As much as he wanted to hug her tightly & tell her it would be ok,tell her that no matter what he would be would her always...sooth her...Chris knew that the one person who could sooth her was himself pushing her away with loath.
He knew that he didn't effect her at all. He knew that loving hugs, soothing consolations ,caring words meant nothing for her if it was not from that person.
& he knew that he couldn't do much here. For her recovery..they needed a psychologist. Or this girl,who had lost everything...this time will lose her sanity too.
*****
Why Geet,,why do you do this to you every time? Why the me who plans everything perfectly fails whenever it concerns you?
Why Geet? Why you couldn't just cry for somedays & forget about me! Why didn't you end at grieving a little & moving on! WHY!
Maan felt at lost...what he should do. Never he thought that she would be shocked & hurt to the extent that she would turn into a lifeless doll who would do as ordered.
After that incident maan had avoided meeting any family member. He went out of home early & came back very late. He didn't mind that fact that his family members were on geet's side or the fact that they didn't even want to talk to him. He considered it a little of the punishment which he should have received for his sins.
But today ,Dev just stormed into his cabin & locked the door. He was astonished since DeV also avoided him at work.
Are you happy now?
What? Maan tried to be nonchalant. But fear churned the inside of his stomach. Something told him,it was for geet...or Dev would never have behaved this way.
ARE YOU HAPPY THAT SHE HAS TURneD INTO A living Doll NOW!! WITHOUT ANY fEELINGS! JUST LIKE yOU WANTED!
Maan's tried to keep a poker face...though his heart drummed...in fear...what was Dev saying?he thought
WO NA BOLTI HAI,NA SOTI HAI,NA HASTI HAI,,NA ROTII HAI...USE JO KARNE KO KAHO EK PUTLE KI TARHA SIRF WO KARTI HAI!
Maan's heart clutched painfully.
ARE YOU HAPPY THAT SHE IS NOW YOUR IDEAL NOw SHE CAN'T THINK ON HER OWN.
yaha tak ki...dev's voice simmered down & trembled.
Yaha tak ki,agar use khana khilana ho...to use mu kholne bolna parta hai,phir mu band karne ko aur chew karne ka order dena parta hai...DAMN IT ...SHE WON"T EVEN GULP THE MORSEL DOWN IF NOT ORDERED!
AUR YE SAB TUMHARI WAJA SE. YOU ARE THE REASON THAT SUCH A LIVELY CHILD IS NOW LIKE DEAD BODY!
Are you finished? Maan said calmly.
Dev looked at him stupefied.
Look i said before that i don't need that girl anymore,she is the one who is still clinging too me & memories like a vine. Then i don't see why i should be blamed or take her responsibility.
Dev couldn't say any more word. He left his cabin angry & disgusted.
****
Chris came to take geet for her usual check up to the psychologist. He never saw Maan after that day . So he didn't expect him to be at home that day too.
But as they were leaving,they crossed path with maan.
No, not only maan,there was a gorgeous looking lady in his arms.
Hello Chris. Long time no see. Maan said as if nothing happened.
Chris gritted his teeth & was going to ignore him.
Are...where are you going! Won't you meet my girlfriend?
For the first time in the month,Geet reacted. SHe looked up to see them.
Though Chris didn't notice it as he was glaring at maan,bt maan noticed this little movement from the corner of his eyes to his joy.
Meet Chris Ria. He is my best friend & one of the best doctor in the world. & Chris,meet my girlfriend Ria.
I am not ur friend anymore maan.
Come on..!! Don't be like that!
Maan you didn't introduce me to this girl? Ria said in a sickly sweet voice.
Oh..she is not really worthy of being introduced. She is Just a girl who lost memories & i picked her up out of pity. She is just a charity case. Maan shrugged & started to walk away with Ria.
Before a very angry Chris could answer him...he heard Geet screaming to his shock
I AM NOT A CHARITY CASE MR MAAN SING KHURANA.
Maan didn't turn.
I WILL COMPLETE MY STUDIES & RETURN EVERY PENNY I OWE YOU ...JUST YOU SEE!
She tugged at Chris' hand & went from that place.
Maan...are you ok... why are you ...crying?
Maan opened his eyes. Ur work id finished Ria...THANK YOU.
Ria's eyes widened. Maan sing khurana,who never bowed before anyone..was thanking her...
Then in realization...her eyes softened.
I should be mad at you ..you know,for dumping me within hours...bt...she smiled...that girl...must be special for you...
*****
After that outburst,geet didn't need the psychologist that day...because she had cried after that...profusely...loudly ,baring her heart ...
Still ,though she was out of danger from losing her sanity..it didn't make more progress than that. Though she was behaving normally now,her smile didn't return...
& no one could do anything about it.
Geet lets go to ****LAND. It would be a lot of fun.
Mujhe jane ka mann nahi hai.
Are chal na geet..you would enjoy once you are there.
Yes,they used to drag her to places like this,in order to make her happy. & today too,it was a trip like that.
****
Geet would you like to ride that ?
Nahi bhabi.
Are you scared?
Mujhe accha nahi lag raha hai.
It was her only sentence these days...it broke them apart to see such a lively girl turn gloomy like that.
Accha,then lets goo over there,see that panda,it is dancing starngely...kitni BHIR gayii hai waha. Chal. Meera again dragged her.
The panda was certainly dancing strangely making everyone laugh. Sometimes it took one of the kids & make them fly high...
Geet continued to look at it with no interest.
Suddenly the panda turned towards her & picked her up by waist & making her yelp in surprise...then spun her like other kids.
Geet's cheeks flamed in embarrassment & others standing there started to laugh...even including meera.
As the character (i couldn't remember/find what are they called who dress up as cartoon characters in amusement parks) put her down she started with her long forgotten blabbering & lecture.
TUMHe KYA LAGA!! KI MAIN BACCHI HOON!!!
The character nodded at her almost with a puppy dog fashion.
HAWWW Main BACCHI HOON!! MAIN MAIN...
The character lifted it's both hands to it's eard as if trying to say "kan pakar ke sorry".
Nahi,main tumhe maaf nahi karungi. She turned her face another way.
The character looked here & there & hung his head..as if it was sad.
Geet looked at it from the corner of her eyes & smiled,shocking meera.
Accha baba. Thik hai.
The character tried to jump ,bt the suit made it look like a jelly wobbled.
Geet laughed. It again moved its hands in air as if trying to do some magic.
Tumse magic nahi hoga...tum...
Before geet could say anything more,it presented her a balloon.
Geet took it,but still said. Maine kaha na, main bacchi nahi hoon.
It nodded & suddenly hugged her.
She was first startled,bt then,she oddly felt so much in peace that she hugged back snuggling into the big fat panda & stayed there for a long time...with a serene smile on her lips.
***
Maan took of th heavy mask & shook his head to get rid of the dripping sweat.
You did well Mr maan. I actually was surprised that you could play a cartoon character so well. The chairman said.
Maan smiled & took of the rest of the panda suit.
Thank you for letting me do this work for one day & keeping this a secret. Maan smiled & left from there.
Boss,ek baat puchu? one of the employee asked him.
Ha bolo.
I know that he has paid a lot of money for today...so we should only be concerned with that only..still...Why was someone like MAAN SING KHURANA was interested in doing such a job,that too for one day. I mean wearing a panda suit ...It's not that he is doing this for showing it off too...then why?
Bade log hai chotu...ajib ajib hobbies hoti hai inki. Hume kya...we were paid..that's it. Chal kam baki hai.
Precap- Love makes it way...
