Geet is
sitting in a coffee shop waiting for Maan.
She has a coffee in front of her but she hasn't had even a single
sip. She is very restless but she has to
do this. She cant let anything happen to
Maan. If it was just the matter of her
life, she wouldn't care, but Maan... she does care. She knew her brother and father; they can do
what they say. She cant take the
risk. So its better if they go separate
ways.
Maan
reaches in a hurry and came to Geet. He
gave a small peck on her lips and said
"I'm so sorry sweetheart. Was stuck in the traffic."
And he sits in front of her "How
are you honey? You know how much I
missed you!!"
Geet was
looking at her cup while stroking the tip of the cup with her index finger.
"I'm fine Maan. How are you?" she said trying to fight back
the tears.
"Now that you are back, so I'm
fantastic!!" he
said while holding Geet's hand.
Geet
looks at Maan and he saw tears in her eyes.
He felt his whole existence without any meaning to see tears in Geet's
eyes. He felt immense pain in his heart
because of Geet's pain.
He gets
up and goes close to her and cups Geet's face in his hand and wipes her tears "Geet, what happened? Why are you crying?"
Geet
felt choked at her throat and she hugged him tightly while crying hard.
Maan
couldn't understand what has happened.
Why was geet crying like that.
Maan
consoles her while stroking her back and said "What happened Geet? Please tell
me!!"
After
some time geet was able to control herself and said in between her sobs "Maan, everything is finished!"
"Hua kya Geet?"
Geet
didn't know how to tell him this harsh truth.
She bit her lips and said "I'm
married."
It took
2 seconds for her words to register in his mind and he said "WHATTT???"
"I'm married Maan." And she tells him everything
that happened in HP except for the real reason of why she was breaking up. She knew that if she tells him that they cant
be together because she is scared for his life, he is never gonna agree to
it. And she cant take any chances with
his life.
Geet
broke down into harder tears as she finished her story.
Maan
thinks for sometime and said "Geet,
whatever happened, just forget about it.
There's a whole future in front of you.
That guy is no more. I know it is
a shock for you, but you have to get out of it Geet! For you, for me, for us!!! I promise you Geet, that I will never leave
you. Ise bas ek bura sapna samajh ke
bhool jaao!"
And geet
realised that he was misunderstanding her.
But its her job to make him see what she is saying.
"Maan there is no 'us' anymore. I'm a married woman Maan. Jab maine aapse pyaar kiya tha, tab main ye
nahin jaanti thi ke main shadi-shuda hoon.
But now I know! I cant cross my
boundaries. So we can never be together
Maan. Please forget me. Aur ho sake to mujhe maaf kar dijiyega."
It took a lot of courage for Geet to say this to Maan without crying,
but she did it. She had fought her tears
back and said this with determination.
Maan
couldn't believe what she was saying "Geet,
have you gone mad? Is this some kind of
a joke? Shadi-shuda??" he controlled his anger and said "First of all Geet, child-marriage is
illegal. And second, your so-called
husband is dead!! So why you want to ruin your life??"
Geet
said while faking anger "Maan, maybe you don't have any respect for marriage
but I do! I respect my marriage. It doesn't matter at what age I got married,
but I still respect it. And as for it
being illegal, I don't think it matters.
Because if you are thinking that I'll go against my family, then forget
it! Its never gonna happen!!" geet closes her eyes to control herself
and says "So its better for everyone, if
we leave this relationship over here.
Just forget me Maan!!" she almost pleads.
"Geet, dil ke rishte itni aasaani
se nahin toot-te. I will not let you
ruin our lives for your vacuous principles.
Main is shaadi ko nahin manta.
Tum sirf meri ho Geet and I'm not letting you go."
"Maan.." she tries to reason but Maan
didn't let her finish and cups her face in his hands again and said while
looking into her eyes lovingly "Geet, I
know you are very disturbed right now. I
know you might have a lot of pressure from your family but Geet, you don't
worry about anything. I'll take care of everything. You just look after yourself, rest leave it
on me! I'll talk to your parents..."
"NO" Geet almost screamed and then
said while controlling herself "Maan, I
don't have any pressure from anybody.
I'm doing whatever I feel is right!
Just forget me Maan!!"
Maan was
loosing his patience. "Geeettt" then
he controls himself and says with forced patience "Geet, you don't know what you are saying! I think you need some time to get over this
shock. Its ok geet, I understand. Tum ghar jaao, aur thande dimag se is baare
mein socho. I'm sure once you'll think
about it, you'll realise that you are wrong.
I'll wait for your decision Geet." He finished sweetly.
Geet
doesn't have to think about it. She knew she was wrong, but when it is about
Maan's life, she wouldn't give a second thought before even killing
herself. So this decision was nothing.
She said
determinedly "You don't need to wait
Maan, I have already taken my decision.
And my decision is 'its over'."
And she leaves without another word.
Maan
knew that geet needs some time to get out of this shock, inspite of whatever
she says. He was confident that once she
will think about it, she will realise her mistake and come back to him. So he decided to give her some space for some
time and let her sort her life by herself.
Because he knows that some decisions we have to take by ourselves
only. If someone tries to interfere or
force into it, we might end up taking a wrong decision. But to leave her alone and don't see her even
for a day was a death torture for him.
So he
decided that he will keep an eye on her from a distance but would let her think
about it on her own.
Present
It has
been 15 days. Maan knew Geet comes to
this river bank daily. It was 'their'
place. He would also come there but sat
at a distance and looks at her but never talks to her. He was still keeping his promise of letting
her sort her life on her own. But he was
becoming weaker and weaker every day by seeing the sadness in Geet's eyes which
was increasing every day.
Geet has
seen Maan every here and there when she was coming to hostel from college, or
when she is going to market, or when she is going for a walk. She has confronted him many times not to
follow her. But she knew he's not gonna
give up so easily. So many times she
just ignores him.
Today Maan's
resolution broke. He had enough. He cant see Geet so sad. He has already waited and given her enough
time to think about it, but she is being very stubborn about it.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
He saw
her retreating form and he decided that it has been enough. It was time to take the matters in his own
hands. If Geet can't think what's best
for her, then he will!! And he said to himself determinedly "I'm sorry Geet, but you have left no other
option with me. Till today, I have been
just Maan for you. But I guess its time
for you to meet Maan Singh Khurana now!!" and he smirks and leaves too.
