Chapter 86
They were seated in the living room, when Dev came walking
downstairs and saw Brij. Daadima introduced him to the Handas and he smiled at
each one of them including Brij. Brij smiled back too.
"Geet's not here?", asked Dev.
"No, she said she was too tired to come. And she dint know we were
coming here", said Brij, very politely and Dev was amazed at Brij's politeness.
"She dint know you were coming here, meaning what?", asked Dev.
Daadima spoke up and said, "Dev, some questions are best
unanswered now. But eventually you will have all the answers. May be a matter
of an hour or so, Son", she said, smiling and Geet's dad agreed.
Kiara joined them too and went ands at with Heer. Naintara spoke
to Geet's mom for sometime and then quickly walked into the kitchen to make
sure everything is right for breakfast. Dev, after sometime spoke up,
surprising the Khuranas and Handas
"Brij, would you like to take a walk in the lawn by the time
breakfast is ready?", asked Dev.
Brij looked at him for sometime, shocked. He quickly regained his
senses and said, "Oh Yes". Both of them walked out of the mansion towards the
lawn.
Heer, Kiara and Naintara, eventually moved out of the living room,
leaving only Geet's parents and Daadima there.
"So, all well?", asked Daadima, looking at the young ladies walk
towards the informal living room.
"Ji badi ma", said Mr. Handa.
She smiled and said, "It took you 25 years to come to my house,
did it?"
This time, Mrs. Handa responded. "Its not like that badi ma. Its
just that we did not get the right time" and was about to say more, when
Daadima interrupted.
"Yes, the right time has finally arrived in the form of love. The
love that you have for your daughter, the love that your daughter has for my
grandson and the love that I have for the both of them, is what brings us
together today", she said.
"Aapko pata hain, badi ma?", asked Mrs. Handa.
"Ofcourse I know. How can I not know about the love story that I
have nurtured? I have seen their love gstart and grow in front of me",, she
said, smirking.
"But you never told ma anything about it and you did not even tell
us anything about it", said Mr. Handa.
"What would I say to people who are busy making their own
assumptions about their daughter's life?", she asked. She noticed their
expressions change from surprise to sad and quickly continued, "But that is not
what matters. What matters is that Maan and Geet love each other and I believe
they are made for each other. I have always supported them and I always will,
as long as they know what they are doing and they know they are right", she
said.
"Badi Ma, it was troublesome for us too, to come to terms with
everything that happened in the last weeks. But the truth is something we
cannot deny and like you've said, they love each other to the extent that
separating them is a crime, in itself".
Daadima smiled. And Mr. Handa
continued, "Though my mom still does not approve this relationship, we approve
it and support it. We happily accept Maan as our son-in-law", he said, smiling.
"Geet, paper do, business news", he said and tried taking the
paper from Geet's hand.
"Nahin", she said and hid the paper away"
He looked at her for sometime and then said, "Accha batao, how did
everything go at Niharika's wedding?"
"All Well", she said, too lazy to reply to his questions.
"Hmmm, good!", he said and served some juice for her and handed
over the glass to her. "Take it", he said.
She took the glass and took a sip. "Geet, you know being silent is
not something normal to you, so speak up", he said, while he put few slices of
bread in the toaster.
"Maan, himmat nahin hain", she said, resting her hands and chin on
the dining table.
"To kyun aayi?", he asked, facing the other side, making sure the
bread in the toaster does not burn.
"Pyaar kehte hain usse", she said and walked to him, lazily and
hugged him from behind.
"Acchha ji", he said and removed the bread from the toaster, put
it on the plate and gave it to her, "Go and eat", he said.
"Maan what time are you going to the office?", she asked, lazily
taking the plate from him.
"In another 30 minutes", he said, "If you don't speak up".
"Maan", she screamed at him, angrily.
"What?", he asked.
"Did I ever tell you, that I hate you?", she asked, putting the
plate on the table and pulling his plate and glass away too. She sat on his lap
with the legs on one side.
"Geet", he said, in a slightly irritated tone, "You pulled away my
toast and dropped butter on my shirt".
"Oh, you have other shirts Maan, simply go and change", she said,
arrogantly.
"Ok get up then", he said.
"Maan, No!", she screamed.
"Geet, you need sleep. You are being cranky right now", he said.
"No, I just hate you", she said, resting her head on his shoulder.
He took a deep breath. He lifted her in his arms and walked her
straight to the bedroom downstairs. He put her on the bed and pulled the
blanket over her and put his hand over her mouth as she was about to say
something.
"Sleep. Trust me, Geet, you need it very badly right now", he
said.
She nodded her head for a "no" and he said, "Yes".
She nodded again and he chided her. Tears started coming out of
her eyes and he mellowed down immediately, saying "Geet".
He withdrew his hands from her mouth and asked her, "Kya hua?"
"Maan, I'm scared. Niharika's wedding is also done now. Not much
time left for Anurag and'. ", she couldn't say anything beyond that.
"Geet", he said, softly, wiping her tears, "will crying or getting
scared solve our matter? No, right! Relax. We'll figure a way out", he said. He
was about to say something more when his phone rang. He looked at the number
and answered it.
"Ji daadima", he said.
"Maan, I want you to come to the mansion in afew minutes, for a
few minutes", she said.
"Is it urgent?", he asked.
"Yes son! Else I wouldn't call you", she said and he agreed.
"Alright, I'll see you in ten minutes", he said and hung up.
HE looked at Geet and said, "Stop crying now and catch some sleep,
until I come back. Daadima';s calling me, so I have to go and I promise to be
back very soon".
She nodded her head and he kiised
her and made his way out of the out-house, towards the mansion.
"Im sorry about what happened that day", said Dev after a causal
conversation with Brij.
"Oh, no no! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been so rude and
aggressive. I behaved very uncivilized that day, so, I owe you a "sorry", said
Brij.
Dev smiled. "Anyways its over now and I hope nothing of this sort
ever repeats again"
"Yep, I hope the same", sid brij. Brij and dev walked around for
sometime and then Brij asked, "Do you approve Maan and Geet's relationship?"
"Yes, I do", said Dev, "Infact I always did. I've always felt Geet
is perfect for my brother. My borther is a very reserved man. Though
successful, his world is very small and revoloves around his family. He takes
amazing care of us, never lets any harm/unhappiness come any where near us. He never
expresses himself, whether it is happiness or sadness. It is for us to undeestand
what he feels. He has never bothered to think of his personal life-you know like
having a girlfriend, marrying and having his own fanily or anytjhig of that sort.
In fact, he never even looked at any woman in his life with that intention. Wedding
for him, did not exist nor did this whole "love" thing ever exist. He awalys termed
it as "nautanki" until your sister walked into his life".
Brij smiled.
"And she changed everything for him. She changed him completely- she
tuiaght him what love is, she thought him that there is more life outside his office
and this mansion. He taught to live life. We have never seen Veerji, enjoy so much
before Geet stepped into his life", he said and smiled too.
"And we have no regrets either. We are all waiting for them to get
married", said Dev.
Brij's eyes got watery but he managed
to speak, "I'm so excited that my sister is coming into an amazing family. I could
not have asked for more than this", he said. "Having known your family for so long,
I wonder why Dadima does not approve of this relationship".
Maan walked into the mansion, clearly not noticing Dev and Brij.
"Haan Daadima, "He said.
"Hi Son", she said. He sat beside her and noticed Geet's parents and
was surprised.
He greeted them too and smiled.
"Do you know why you are here and why they are here?", asked Daadima.
"No", he said.
She smiled and said, "Anurag and Geet's wedding has been called off,
Son", she said. "They are here to speak about your wedding with Geet".
Sorry, I wanted to write more but I am extremely sleepy. You would actually sense how sleepy I am, becuase I did not bother to read the update again. So, please ignore the typos.
