New OS--Meri kahani--Epilogue Part B on Page 53

Silence prevailed in the room...five people and five different thoughts...All are waiting for one person's reply...

Jasmeet took and deep breath and looked at the elder lady and said sorry maaji...ye nahi ho sakta...'

Maaji sighed...felt defeated...but she was determined...she said...jasmeet kya aap bata sakti hain ki kyun mana kar rahi hain...jasmeet remained silent...

Mujhe maaf kardijiye maaji...main aapko kuch nahi bata sakti...mujhe garv ke liye jo bhi karna hai karungi...main zindagi bhar uska khayal rakhungi...par yeh mujhse nahi hoga maaji...

Suddenly they heard a small cry from the adjacent room...jasmeet stood up to  see...but her daughter who was silent from the beginning of the discussion stopped her...Maa main dekhti hoon...aap dadi ji se baat kijiye........and went from there...

Maaji or say dadi again asked...Kya aap us nanhi si jaan ke liye bhi haa nai keh sakte...jo apni maa ke liye roraha hai ...hum unke maa ko toh nahi laa sakte hain...lekin tum  maan jaaogi toh usse maa mil jayegi geet ke roop mein...ab uski zindagi tumhare haaton mein hain jasmeet...

Jasmeet remained silent once again...she did not give any answer to dadi...how can she let her daughter geet marry her deceased daughter naina's husband...no it won't happen...she will not let it happen...untill she is alive...she wants a good life for her daughter...a happy married life and a loving and a caring husband who will lover her in thick and thin...in happiness and in agony...he should be with her till eternity...but with this marriage it won't happen...if this marriage happens this will be a compromise...and she don't want her daughter's life to be a compromise...and above all that her daughter is still studying...

Sound of geet's anklets distracted her thoughts...seeing 6 month old grandson...smile spreads on every ones face...

The atmosphere of the room lightened...jasmeet took the kid and sat down again and started admiring his features...a replica of his mother ...naina...who is no more now...

Daadi again asked jasmeet ek baar aur soch lijiye.kya app garv ke liye haa nahi keh sakti...usse ek maa ki zaroorat hai...jo use payaar kare,dekhball kare use rsahi aur galat ki raah dikhaye...aur geet ke sivai koi aur yeh nahi kar sakta...

Geet looked at her jiju sitting there and looking at his son and then at geet...as soon as their eyes met he averted his gaze from her...he is hating it ...he is not ready to marry geet or any other girl...he loved naina very much and even after her death he loves her very much...it's impossible to love another time...atleast for him...but his dadima bound him by her promise...and he can't be selfish only by thinking about himself he has a son to look after...he is ready to take the responsibility by himself...but Dadima is adamant on his remarriage...with this marriage... he'll spoil geet's life too...he know geet won't voice her feelings...but he has to do something...

She moved into the kitchen...to get some refreshments...followed by anu...her best friend from school days cum sisters nanad...anu waited patiently for geet to turn...knowing anu's presence geet did not turn...anu lost her cool and asked her....yeh sab kya hai geet...geet did'nt respond...

She moved into the kitchen...to get some refreshments...followed by anu...her best friend from school days cum sisters nanad...anu waited patiently for geet to turn...knowing anu's presence geet did not turn...anu lost her cool and asked her....yeh sab kya hai geet...geet did'nt respond...

Anu asked her again ....tu kuch bolti kyun nahi hai...wahan teri zindagi ka faisla ho raha hai aur tujhe chai paani ki padi hai...anu turned geet with force and said...tu hamesha ki tarah chup nahi reh sakti...SILENCE IS NOT ALWAYS GOLDEN...tujhe bolna hoga......

Tears welled up in geet's eyes...she hugged anu and said ...Main kya karu anu mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai...ek taraf garv hai ...maine di ko vachan diya hai ki main garv ki dekhbaal karungi...aur doosri taraf maa hai......

Anu was about to say something...they heard garv crying...Get left from there saying ...mujhe garv  ko doodh pilana hai......anu sighed...

Geet took the little one and went away from there not wanting to be a part of the discussion...which is going nowhere...

Dadi again said...dekha jasmeet...garv ko kitna lagao hai Geet se...Koi aur usse itna pyar nahi kar sakega...ek baar uss bache ke bare mein socho...tumhara damad ke liye hum ladki doodh sakte hain ...lekin kya bharosa  ki woh garv ko pyar karegi...agar geet hai toh humein koi chinta nahi hai...iss umar mein hum kuch aur bardaash nahi kar sakte...hamari is bebasi ko samjho jasmeet... Hum tumhare saamne haath jodte hain jasmeet...yeh rishte ke liye maan jao.........

Aap Garv ke liye soch rahi hai jo abhi abhi paida hua jo kuch nahi jaanta ya samajhta...lekin mein Geet ke liye socha rahi hoon maaji...jo bachi nahi hai'......said Jasmeet...Dadi did'nt know what to say...

Finally dadi thought to give jasmeet some time to think over the matter and said Hum abhi ke liye jaa rahe hai jasmeet par hum tumhari aakhri faisle ka intezaar karenge...aur who tai karega hume aage kya karna hai Garv keliye ...she said with finality

She stood up and looked at her grandchildren and asked....Appko chalna nahi hai kya...

They both stood up...one with a sigh of relief and one annoyed...

Three of them went away from there...

Jasmeet sat there itself ...thinking about the game that fate is playing...

Geet was sitting in the balcony and watching the stars after having her dinner and putting  garv to  sleep...

Jasmeet came with Coffee for both of them...it is one of the things they commonly share ...Geet has many traits like jasmeet...All say geet is exact replica of jasmeet...which may be true...she is also shy natured girl like her...she could not voice her feelings just like her... she simply follows what her mother says...but if it comes about getting things for her mother or garv or any other family member she never hesitates to move ahead and get it... this is the main reason jasmeet came to geet to tell her things  which she is unaware of and now the time has come to tell her everything...its now or never...it's a do or die situation for her...

Jasmeet said...Geet, aaj mein zindagi ka ek hakeekat batana chahti hoon...main nahi jaanti ki yeh chupakar maine sahi kiya ya galat...par jo mujhe sahi laga maine wohi kiya...Main hoshiyarpur ke rehne wale amritlal singh ki doosri beti hoon...meri ek badi behen thi... jo ab iss duniya mein nahi hai...aur ek bada bhai hai jo abhi bhi wahi rehta hai jinhe tum jaanti ho...rajveer, tere mamaji...Meri behen ki shaadi hoshiyaarpur ke hi rehnewale sukhvindar lal handa ji ke chote bte se hui...Mohinder Lal handa se...She  suddenly heard the sound of breaking the cup...She looked at geet...who is very shocked with the revelation......

this is the second part...plz ignore the type errors...

thank you🤗

She held geet's hand...as if giving her support...Unke yaani ke inder aur Rano ko do betiyaan hui...tum aur Naina and ...She looked at Geet...Geet's eyes are started watering...She nodded her head in a no and wiped geet's tears...she held geet closer and started again...tujhe pata hai geet tu jab paida hui toh sabse pehle maine hi tumhe godh mein liya tha...tu kitni choti thi aur mujhe hi dekh rahi thi...tujhe dekhte hi mujhe tujhse pyaar hogaya...tujhe main ek pal ke liye bhi door nahi jaane deti thi...didi ko sirf doodh pilane ke liye hi deti thi...tera sara kaam mein hi karthi thi... tujhe pata hai  maine hi tumhara naam rakha tha GEET...kyun ki tu jab bhi roti thi ya phir hasthi thi toh mujhe woh geet ki tarah lagata tha...Jasmeet smiled remembering good old days... Mujhe tumse bohut lagao hogaya tha  ...jab didi jaa rahi thi toh tab main bohut royi thi...kyun ki jijaji aur didi delhi mein rehte the...aur main tumse door hona nahi chahthi thi...

                                   sab bohut khush the...kyun ki tumhare aate hi saalonse chal raha zameen ka case tumhare papaji jeet gaye...tere paida hone ke saath mahine ke baad meri shaadi pakki hogayi ...Didi Roke ke liye hoshiyarpur aayi...Ladka Amritsar ka rehna wala tha...Roka poora hua...aur 4 mahine ke baad shaadi ki taarikh bhi nikali gayi...Didi ka dilli jaane ka time aagaya...Didi tumhe aur naina ko mere paas chodkar Handa haveli gayi thi...sab se alvida kehne...Raat hogayi didi nahi aayi...hum sab didi aur jijaji ki raah dekh rahe the...tu apni maa keliye rorahi thi...bohut mushkil se soyi thi tu...tab jijaji aaye aur didi ke bare mein poocha...hume kuch samajh mein nahi aaya...tab pata chala ki didi handa haveli pohanchi hi nahi...sab log didi ko dhoondne lage...main ghar mein hi thi tum dodno ke saath...sab logo ne raat bhar dhoonda ...didi ka kuch pata nahi chala...Subah hamare gaon ke school teacher aye aur unhone kaha ki didi gaon ke sarhad par hai...hum sab log bhaagte gaye...aur dekha toh...she closed her eyes trying to gather herself for revealing the most dreadful incident...didi ki laash padi hui thi, wahi zameen par jo tere papaji ne court case mein jeeti thi...kisine didi ko berehmi se maar kar waha chod kar chale gaye...baad mein pata chaala ki jin logo ne case haara wohi didi ke maut ka kaaran hai...darji aur papaji ne police mein complaint ki...aur unhe arrest karvaya...woh log bohut koshish ki choot jaane ki lekin saboot bohut mazboot the aur unhe umar khaid ki saza hui...

Jijaji poori tarah toot gaye...aise  din  guzarte gaye...tum dono mere paas rehgaye...aur ek din tere daarji hamare ghar aaye...unhone kaha ki who jija ji ki dobara shaadi karana chahte hai...mere papaji ji bhi maan gaye... yeh kehkar tumhen aur naina ko maa ki zaroorat hai...tab unhone kaha ki meri shaadi jijaji ke saath karade...kyun ki jo pyaar main tum logon ko de sakti hoon who koi aura hi desakta...koi aur ladki hui to shaayad tum ko pyaar na kare...kehte hain na sauteli maa kabhi pyaar nahi karti...lekin main aisa nahi karungi kyun ki tum dono meri didi ke bachhe ho...papaji ne waqt maanga sochne ke liye...tere daarji chale gaye...Papaji aur maa ne bhohut socha aur haa kehdi...Amritsar waalon se maafi maangi aur unhe shaadi ke liye mana kardiya... Phir do hafton mein hamari shaadi hui aur tum dono ko lekar main aur tere papaji delhi aagaye...

Delhi aane ke baad mujhe thodi takleef hui yaha adjust karne mein...tumhare papa ne thodi help ki..toh mein sab seekh gayi...jaise jaise waqt beeta gaya jijaji khamosh rehne lage aur apna poora samay business pe lagane lage...unki mehnat se business bhi badhne laga aur woh zyaada mehnat karne lage...tum dodo bhi bade hone lage...tu school jaane lagi...tu 8 saal ki thi jab jijaji ne yeh ghar kharida ... hum yaha shift hogaye...sab kuch badal raha tha...sirf main hi thi, jaha thi wahi rehgayi...ghar mein mera dum ghutne laga...jab tum log ghar mein rehte the toh kuch nahi hota tha...lekin tum dono jab school jaate the toh khaalipan tha, har taraf khamoshi thi...ek baar jijaji se poocha ki main kuch kaam karna chahthi hoon...toh unhone kuch nahi kaha...2 din baad kaha ki main unke saath kaam karsakti hoon...main office jaane lagi...dheere dheere kaam seekh ne lagi...ek aur saal beeth gaya...office ka har kaam ka pata rehta tha mujhe...har choti badi baat mujhse hi hokar guzarthi thi...har choti badi decision mein tere papa mere ideas poochne lage...Din guzarte gaye...business mein akeli hi decisions lene lagi tere papa ki gairhaazri mein...tu 15 saal ki thi jab unka accident hogaya aur who humenin chod ke chale gaye...phir kya hua tu jaanti hai...

She continued...Tere papaji bohut hi ache insaan the...woh didi se bohut pyaar karte the...tere papaji ne didi ko ek mele mein dekha aur unhe pyaar hogaya...didi bohut khubsurat thi...daarji rishta leke aaye hamare yaha...mere papaji ko jiju bohut pasand aaye aur rishta pakka hogaya aur jald hi shaadi hogayi...didi bohut khush thi jijaji ke saath...jijaji bohut muskuraate the tab...didi ko dekhte hi unki aankhom mein ek alag si chamak hoti thi...mujhse bhi bohut baatein karthe the...meri padhayi ke baaremein baatein karthe the aur bohut encourage karthe the...woh din bohut hi alag the...ek alag sa rishta tha jijaji ka aur mera...lekin shaadi ke baad sab badal gaya...jijaji bhi aur hamara rishta bhi...

Lekin jo shayad tumhare papa bhi nahi jaante aaj tumhe batana chaahi hoon...apni dil ki baat jo maine kabhi kisi se nahi kaha...aaj tumhare saamne rakh rahi hoon...Jab meri shaadi pakki ki gayi toh mujhse kisine nahi poocha ...Jab didi ki maut hui aur meri shaadi jijaji se karayi gayi tab bhi mujhse kisine nahi poocha ki mujhe kya chahiye...main tumhen dekh ke chup rahi...aur papaji aur maa ki baath bhi toh sahi thi...tumko aur naina ko meri zaroorat thi...isliye maine kuch nahi kaha...shaadi ke baad shuru shuru mein tumhare papaji thode bohut baateein karthe the...jaise samay beeth ta gaya who bhi kam hogaya...bas tum logon ke bare mein poochthe the...aur office join karne ke baad office ki baatein karne lage...ek hi ghar mein do ajnabiyonki tarah rehne lage...bas aisa hi tha hamara rishta...tuhare papaji kabhi bhi mujhe apni patni sweekar nahi kar paaye... unhone mujhe har sukh suvida diya...itna bada ghar, naukar, paisa, jewelry sab kuch ...sivaye pyaar ke...Geet looked at her mother who is having ears in her eyes and staring at the dark sky...who seemed to be in another world...lekin zindagi aise nahi chale geet...jeene ke liye sab se zyaada pyaar ki zaroorat hoti hai...Ek choti si baath ke liye, ek choti si muskaan ke liye, ..ek pyaar bahi nazar ke liye maine tarsa hai geet...jab bhi kuch becahini hothi thi toh baantne waala nahi tha...jab darr lagtha tha toh hausla dene wala nahi tha...jab roti thi tab aasun poochne wala nahi tha...jab khush hoti thi toh use baatne wala nahi tha...jab maa aur papaji ki maut hui...tere papa nahi aaye... didi ki maut ke baad tumhare papaji kabhi hoshiyarur nahi gaye ...kyun ki wh jagah unhe didi ki yaad dilathi thi...main akeli gayi wahan...meri dil ki baat share karne waala koi nahi tha...jab sab ko khush dekhti thi toh meri bebasi pe mijhe rona aata tha...kabhi kabhi gusa bhi aata tha...lekin kuch keh nahi paayi aur kuch kar nahi paayi...meri zindagi aise hi beet gayi...

            Lekin  mein nahi chahti ki teri zindagi bhi meri jaisi hojaaye...mein nahi chathi tu woh sab kuch sahe jo maine saha...mein nahi chahti ki tum aur tumhare pati ajnziyon ki zindagi jiye...Jasmeet ended and started weeping...Geet huggerd her mother tightly supporting her...After some time her sobs subsided and jasmeet looked at geet cupped her face and saidmaine tumhare liye bohut se sapne dekhe hain...tumhari khushal zindagi ki sapne...tumhare bachonse khelne ki sapne...aur main uhe zaroor poora karungi...jiske liye mujhe dadi ki naarazgi bhi manzoor hai... 

Unknown to both of them there is a well-built  man standing at the doorstep, listening jasmeet's reason of refusal...He was wondering what is written in their fate and silently left from there without making his presence obvious. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unknown to both of them there is a well-built  man standing at the doorstep, listening jasmeet's reason of refusal...He was wondering what is written in their fate and silently left from there without making his presence obvious.

He moved out from the Handa house and started his car...he went to his house and sat on the swing in the garden...his dadi and siblings will be sleeping...but sleep is far away from his eyes...he started thinking about the incidents happened from morning after dadi's return from handa house...

Few hours before...

Dadi's mood was off and she straightaway went to her room...Anu was annoyed and didn't talk to any one...she sat there flipping TV channels...his brother came to him and asked to come to study as there is something important to discuss...he wanted to be with anu to comfort her but it seems others things are more important...he slowly moved to study leaving anu alone...

When he reached there...his brother was in deep thought...he reached him and patted his shoulder a little...his brother turned and looked at him and said...Bhai dadi se aap baat kijiye ki yeh sab nahi kare... he looked confused...he is not able to understand what his brother is talking about...he said...Tum kis bare mein baat karr rahe ho... His brother started...Bhai dadi meri aur Geet ki shaadi karana chaahti hai... He was stunned...he didn't know that dadi was planning all this...he thumped on the couch that was there...his brother contined...Dadi ko roko bahi...unhone mujhe garv ke naam se baadh diya hain...main kuch nahi kar sakta...main dobara shaadi nahi karna chahta hoon bahi... main naina ko nahi bhul sakta...woh  meri saason mein bas chuki hai...meri zindagi mein uske alawa kisi aur ke liye koi jagah nahi hai...main naina ki jagah kisi aur ko apni patni ke roop mein nahi dekh sakta...aisa main soch bhi nahi sakta...main geet ko aise nazar se nahi dekh sakta...nahi bhai mujhe se nahi hoga...geet se rishta baad mein juda woh pehle anu ki saheli hai aur maine usse anu se kam kabhi nahi samjha...aap plz daadi ko samjhao...woh jo karne jaa rahi hai...woh galat hai...garv ke liye hum sab hain bhai...daadi hai, maa hai, aap hai,main hoon hum sab haina bhai...phir kyun daadi itna zid kar rahi hai...plz bahi kuch karo...geet ka zindagi barbaad hojayega...naina mujhe kabhi bhi maaf nahi karegi hai...maine naina se nazare nahi mila paaonga...and he stopped and looked at his brother with tears...

He slowly got up and assured his brother that he will talk to their dadi...To distract him he reminded about the next day meeting and asked him to go through the files once again and left from there.

He slowly started descending the steps...he heard raised voice of anu arguing with dadima...he never heard anu arguing with dadima...he wondered what made her to raise her voice in front of dadima...

Anu askd her dadi... Kyun dadi...aap ko garv ke alava koi kyun nahi nazar aa raha hai...koi khush nahi hai aap ke iss baat se...na bhai na jasmeet aunty...na hi geet aur main...phir kyun itni zid kar rahi hai...

Aap kuch nahi jaanti anu...aap abhi choti hai... hum jante hain hum kya karr rahe hain...issi mein sab ki khushi hai...humne bohut zindagi dekhi hai...hum jo karr rahe hain woh galat nahi hain...aur aap ki umar itni nahi hai ki aap hamare faislon ko na kare...Dadi said...

 App jhoot bolti hai Dadi ki aap geet se pyaar karthi hai...parwah karte hain...woh pyaar sab dikhawa tha kya dadima...Anu mumbled...and Dadi heard that...

 Anu aap bhul rahe hain ki aap apni dadi se baat kar rahe hain...Dadi told in a stern voice...

Nahi hain aap hamari Dadi aap toh koi aur hai...jise grav ke alava koi aur dikhayi nahi deraha hai...Kyun Geet ki chuppi ko aap nahi samajh paa rahi hain dadi...kyun use bebas kar rahe hain dadi...aap jaanti hain ki geet kabhi bhi apni dil ki baat kisi se nahi kehti...phir kyun aap use ek unchahe rishte se baandh rahe hain...agar shaadi hogayi toh...woh kabhi khush nai reh paayegi dadi...garv ke liye woh apni zindagi dedegi lekinapne liye kuch nahi maangegi...

Dadi interrupted and said...issi liye hum jasmeet se geet ke rishte ki baat ki humne...

Aur geet ka kya dadi kya bahi usse apna payenge, apni patni maanenge...nahi dadi kabhi nahi...aap iss tarah undono ki zidagi barbaad kar rahi hai... she could not stay there and turned around to go from there but stopped seeing her older brother and said...inn sab mein aap yeh soch na bhul gayi hai ki shayad she looked straight into his eyes and said...shayad geet ke dil mein koi ho sakta hain...he looked at her nodding his head in a yes like assuring her that he will look in to the matter...she left from there with tears in her eyes

Dadi was shocked at anu's words...kya geet sach mein kisi se pyaar karti hain...kya hum sach mein selfish hogaye hain ki hume garv ke alava kisi aur ke bare mein nahi soch hain...agar yeh sach hai toh jo hum chahte hain uska kya hoga...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dadi was shocked at anu's words...kya geet sach mein kisi se pyaar karti hain...kya hum sach mein selfish hogaye hain ki hume garv ke alava kisi aur ke bare mein nahi soch hain...agar yeh sach hai toh jo hum chahte hain uska kya hoga...

He slowly moved to dadi and sat beside her and held her hand that was on her knee...

Dadi looked at him and said...MAAN...her eyes welled up seeing her elder grand son...

Kya aap ko bhi lagta hain ki hum garv ke alava kisi aur ke bbare mein nahi sochte...anu ne aisa kyun kahan Maan...

Maan wiped her tears and said...aap kabhi galat nahi hai dadi...aap sirf hamari khushi hi chaahti hain...anu ne jo kaha use bhul jaayiye...woh bachi hai...main samjha doonga usse ...

Lekin dadi aap ne mujhe kaha bhi nahi ki aap jasmeet aunty ke ghar jaa rahi hain...Veer aur Geet ke rishte ke liye......he said little disaapointed...his dadi never made  any decisions without consulting for any issue...this is not a small matter and he wondered why his dadi didn't tell him...

Nahi Maan hum aapse kehna chahthe the magar aap bohut busy the, pichle hafte se aap India mein nahi the...aur main deri nahi karna chahti thi...isliye main chali gayi jasmeet se baat karne...lekin jasmeet ne inkaar kardiya aur wajah bhi nahi batayi.....said dadi sadly...

Dadi aapko nahi lagta ki aap jaldbaazi karr rahi hain......asked Maan...

Kya matlab hain aapka Maan asked Dadi...

Maan continued...Dadi abhi zyaada waqt nahi hua hain naina ke guzre hue...toh aapko nahi lagta ki aap veer ko kuch waqt dena chaiye...abhi uspe zyaada dabao mat daaliye dadi...usse thoda waqt dijiye apne aap ko sambhalne ke liye...jaisa jaisa waqt guzrega  uska dard kam hojayega...tab hum kuch sochenge...abhi ke liye ye aap sab chodijiye dadima...

Lekin Maan Garv ka kya ...asked Dadi...

Garv ke liye hum sab hain na dadi...abhi garv chota hai...hum sab usse sambhal sakte hain...jaise jaisa who bada hota jayega...veer bhi samajh jaayega ki garv ko ek maa ki zaroorat hai...tab who khud maan jayega dadi...tabhi tak app usse waqt dijiye...

Aur anu ne jo kaha geet ke baaremein uska kya...kya who sach mein kisi ko chahti hai toh hum kya karenge...

Dadi...Anu ne shayad kaha...usne nahi kaha ki Geet kisi pyar karti hain...Anu sirf geet ke liye aisa kaha hoga...taki aap geet ki nazariye se bhi dekhe...Geet ki padhayi abhi poori nahi hui hai Dadi...Lekin Agar geet sach mein kisi ko chahti hai toh hum uske khushiyon ke beech mein nahi aayenenge dadima...aapko yeh baat maanni hogi...kya geet khush rehpayegi apna pyar ko khokar...nahi na dadi...abhi ke liye aap yeh sab bhul jaayiye...aap aaram kijiye...Main hoon dadi...main sab dekh loonga...lekin sahi samay par...Aap apne pote par bharosa rakhiiye...main garv ko, veer ko, anu ko sab ko sambhalunga dadi...

He talked to Dadi some more time and finally dadi nodded in agreement...

Hum kal jaake Jasmeet se baat karenge......Said dadi...Maan agreed...

...Maan Came out of his revive when Nakul called him reminding him of the time...Maan nodded and went to his Room...After changing he laid on is bed and started thinking about what happened at the Handa house...He would have never believed Geet and naina are not jasmeet auntys daughters...if he hadn't heard himself...no one could tell that...because jasmeet loved them,adored them, pampered them...he had seen and known them for years even before Anu and geet became friends...

He had met jasmeet in one of the conferences in delhi...He was studying his final year then...but would help dadi in business...he went to the conference with dadi...her met her there...He instantly liked her...she was very much like his MOM...always smiling...but after hearing her today...Jasmeet aunty whom he had known for years is not her who she potrays...there is so much pain in her life...but she never showed  it to any one not even her daughters...he can understand...She doesn't want to tell them because she wanted to be their mother not their maasi...with thoughs lingering he drifted to sleep...

Next day...he left for office early cause he had a site visit...

Dadi again went to Handa house...Jasmeet was ready to go to office...She was expecting dadi but not so soon...Geet was there playing with garv...

Dadi took garv in her hands and sat down on the couch...She looked at jasmeet ...Jasmeet was about to tell her that there is no change in her decision...Dadi said...Jasmeet hum aap se kal ke bare mein baat karne aaye hain...Ghar mein koi khush nahi hain humanre iss faisle se ...isliye hum ne apna faisla badal liya...aap pea b koi dabav nahi hain...hum ab bhi chahte hain ki Geet aur veer ka rishta ho ...lekin Veer tayyar nahi hain...issliye hum kuch nahi karsakte...

Jasmeet had a great relief...she thanked her son-in-law in her heart...she can manage every thing later...she will look for a boy for geet and wil get her married before veer changes his decision...Dadi's words interrupted her thoughts...

Par humari ek chotisi wish hai...kya aap poora karenge...she looked at jasmeet with hope...

Geet came there and served Dadi some juice...she took garv from dadi...Dadi aked her to sit beside her...Geet sat there...with garv in her hands...

Hum chahte hain ki garv kuch dinon ke liye hamare paas rahe...before jasmeet can speak dadi said Garvke saath aap dono bhi kuch din hamare yaha rahe...Geet aur Abu ka collage start horaha hai...Aap office jaati hain...toh Garv ko sambhalna mushkil hojayega...agar aap waha rahenge to acha hoga...hum ghar pe hi rahenge... aur gudiya bhi toh hain ghar mein...who garv ko sambhalegi jab anu aur Geet collage jaayenge...Please jasmeet aap mana mat kijiye isbaar...

Jasmeet looked at the old lady and thought...Maaji is right...now there is no issue of geet and veer's marriage...aur garv pe unka zyaada haq hain hum se...Veer bhi Garv ke saath rahega toh acha hoga...he can see his child every day...

Jasmeet nodded and said theek hai maaji aap eet aur garv ko lekar jaayiye...main do din mein aaungi...she donn't want Geet to go there with out her...Ghar mein kuch kaam hain...hojane kea ad main aajaoongi...

Dadi beamed in happiness...she urged geet to pack her things as she wants to take geet and garv with her now itself...

Within one hour...Geet Dadi and Garv left for khurana mansion...

Anu was very happy seeing Geet and garv...Geet told her everything at her happened at her house...

Anu ran hugged her Dadi Mujhe Maaf kar dijiye Dadi, kal maine aapse oonchi awaaz main baat ki...I'm really sorry...Dadi said its ok and left to her Room......

Anu and Geet Went to anu's room...Geet and anu shared the room when ever Geet comes to KM...Anu never lets Geet stay in Guest Room...cause she don'y want to miss the chance to talk to her friend all night...

Next Day...

Maan slowly entered Anu's room and saw her sleeping peacefull covered fully with duvet...toh madam abhi tak so rahi hai...breakfast ka time hogaya hai...aur ye aaraam karr rahi hain...abhi maza chakata hoon isse...he thought and then slowly moved to the washroom and filled the bucket with cold water and took it.  He slowly moved to the bed and poured the cold water at once on the sleeping figure...the girl on the bed...got up at once shouting...aaahhh...

He turned around to see veer laughing after so many days...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After lunch Dadi headed to her Room to have her noon nap, Geet and Anu went to the room to get ready for the shopping...

They got ready and Geet took all the necessary things for garv and they headed to the Mall. As Veer said that He'll come directly to the Mall...

 Anu, Geet and Garv Reached the Mall and sent away the driver as Veer is going to be with them. Anu called Veer to know whether he reached the Mall or not. Someone patted on her shoulder. Anu turned around and found Veer standing there

Veer... Main aagaya hoon anu.

Anu... Bhai aap aagaye...chaliye andar chalete hain...

Veer... Arre ruko anu koi aur bhi aaya hai...

Anu ...Who else is coming...

Veer...Woh Dekh tere peeche...

Anu turned to see who is it. Maan and Rohan are een coming towards them.

Anu and Geet are surprised. Anu was happy meeting her cousin after long time.

She turned to Maan and asked Bhai aap aur shoping...and...hogaya mera shoping she murmured. She turned to Rohan and Said Hello.

Anu... Geet chale...

Geet Said OK and All went inside the Mall. Maan, Veer and Rohan followed them.

First they went to buy for Garv. Veer took Garv from Geet and Went to another side to see toys for him. Rohan and Maan are with Anu and Geet. Both were seeing Dresses for Garv. Geet does not agree with anu's choice and Anu doesn't agree with geet's choice. Maan ad Rohan fed with them and moved out of the shop. Maan called veer and told him to come to the coffee shop after they finished and inform Geet and Anu also.

Maan and Rohan moved out of coffee shop when Geet anu and Veer did not show up after some time.

Maan called veer.

Maan - Veer tum log kaha ho.

Veer - bahi pooch mat, main pagal hojaonga indono ke beech mein. Aap yaha aajao. Hum wohi shop mein hai.

Maan - Alright.

Maan and Rohan went to the shop and seen Veer standing there irritated. Maan asked anu whether thei shopping is completed or not.

 Anu - No.

Maan - Ab tak tum logon ne kya kiya. Kuch kharida bhi ya nahi. Veer showed them the bag.  Bag was full. Maan and Rohan looked shocked.

Rohan - Yeh bag bhargaya hai aur tum logon ko abhi bhi mann nahi bhara.

Anu Gave Rohan alook and turned to other side.

Rohan murmured . Gussa toh saathve aasmaan par hai.

Maan chalo hum chalete hain...inhe aur shoping karna hai.

Geet said in betweet. Jjiju Garv ko mujhe dijiye uska feed ka time hogaya hai.main Usse Doodh piladeti hoon.

Veer nodded gave Garv to Geet. Geet took the bag from Anu and looked around to see whether there is place to sit.

Maan looked at Geet and Said...Yaha nahi Geet. Caf pe chalet hain.Tum log bhi aajao .We'll have some refreshments. All nodded and started to move. Veer said He'll come after paying the bill. Maan nodded and left from there leaving Veer behind.

Maan and Geet were moving ahead. Maan took the bag from geet. Anu and rohan are behind. As they reached a corner Rohan pulled anu and closed her mouth.

Maan and geet reached coffee shop. Geet turned back and couldn't find anu. She asked Maan. Maan just smiled and lead her inside the coffee shop.

They found a corner seat and settled. Geet gave Garv his feed. Maan ordered cold coffee for both. The coffee arrived and they both started to have it slowly. Maan looked at Geet. She is looking at Garv and talking to him in baby language. Maan slowly  got up and sat beside looking at Garv.

Geet startled and looked around to see if Anu, Rohan or veer are there. No one came.

Geet - Maan yeh aap kya karr rahe hain. Anu aati hi hogi. Aap jaakar waha bait jayiye.

Maan held her hand and said Geet Anu ahi nahi aayegi. Rohan usse aane nahi dega and winked at her. Waise bhi Darwaza hamare saamne hain, hum unhe dekh sakte hain lekin who hume nahi, jab who log aayenge toh main waha bait jaonga. Tabhi tak mujhe yaha baitne do tumhare paas. Geet slowly relaxed. He held by her shoulder and started playing with Garv.

Geet - Maan aapne Dadi se kya kaha. Woh itni jaldi kaise maan gayi.

Maan - Dadi abhi ke liye chup hain. Iska matlab unke dimaag mein kuch aur chal raha hai.

Yeh jaane ke liye wait karna hoga. Tumne muhe kyun nahi kaha ki tum KM aanewali ho.

Geet - Main aapko surprise dena chahhi thi. Lekin ulta aapne hi mujhe surprise dediya And pouted.

Maan - Tum Subah bohut pyaari lag rahi thi with ur red cheeks.

Geet stared at him. Aapko Mazak sooj raha hain. Jayiye main aapse baat nahi karungi.

Geet turned her face to other side.

Arre Geet gussa matho plz. Bohut mushkil se yeh waqt mila hai. Tumhe pata hai maine apni ek imp meeting cancel karke aaya hoon. Veer se hi jhoot bola ki Client ne cancel kardi. Plz Ab tum naraz mat ho. Sara waqt tumne manane mein hi chala jayega.

Geet turned to him and said Mujhe Bohut darr lagraha hain maan.Plz jaldi kuch kijiye.

Maan - Darr kis baat ka hai geet main hoon tumhare saath. Main jasmeet  aunty se baat karunga, dadi se pehle and smiled assuring her that nothing can go wrong when he is with her.

He was disturbed with Veer's call. He said that he is with anu and rohan asked them to come to XYZ shop. Maan agreed and told geet he same. They left after paying the bill.

Geet suddenly stoped at a shop. There was a beautiful suit in the glass enclosers of the famous designer wear boutique. Maan sensed that Geet is not coming and turned to find geet staring at a dress. He smiled and said Lets Go and he took her in and asked the sales girl to show him the suit in the display. Sales girl went away from there. Geet and Maan are looking some more things. Suddenly an elderly lady came there and said to Geet. Main tum logon ko coffee shop se dekh rahi hoon, tum dono Made for each other lag rahe ho. She blessed geet and Maan and went away from there. Geet looked at Maan and blushed.

Maan - Dekho yeh aunty ko bhi lag raha hai ki hum dono Made for each other hain. Bas jinhe lagna chaiye unhe nahi laga.

Geet smiled at him, shook her head at his drama and took garv from him. Sales girl came with the dress. Maan asked to pack it and moved out of there after paying the bills.

Unknown to the there is a person standing there watching everything happened.
