tej was fuming in anger after listening to jay's words...geet stood aside silently not knowing what to do...Without saying a word tej cut the call and turned towards geet...geet looked at him with a blank expression...tej then came outside and stood infront of savithri devi...He gave mobile back to her...
Tej: savithri ji...aap shehar ke log hey...aur aap ke shahar mein yeh sab chaltha hoga...lekin yeh gao hey...aur kaskar yeh radheshyam ka ghar hey jaha jaan se zyada izzath maine rakthe hey...hum apne ladki ko aise shaadhi se pehle ladka se baath karne ka izzazth harkeez nahi dethe...yeh pehli baar hey isliye...mein apna gussa khabo mein rakh ke baath kar raha hu...agar dubara aisa hua...mein bhool jaaonga ki aap humare rishthedharr hey...
having said these words tej went outside...savithri devi sighed in relief...
savithri devi(monologue): bas aise hi family chahiye mere pothe ko suadhar ne keliye...aaj mein kisi bhi tarah iss shaadi ko pakka karvake hi jaaongi...
Radheshyam felt bad about tej's behavior and apologized to savithri...
savithri: nahi...nahi...aap maafi maangne ka koi zaroorath nahi...galathi meri thi...
with these words radheshyam family respected savithri devi more...and finalized the wedding date ...geet stood there lifeless listening to her elders about her wedding date...
savithri: teek hey radheshyam ji...ek mahine ke baad shaadhi hogi..aur shaadhi delhi mein hogi...iskeliye aap ha karna hi padega...
radheshyam: agar aap jaise bade log khudh hi aakar rishtha pakka karliya..hum kya kehenge...yeh hamare kush kismath hey ki aap jaise bade logon ke rishtha mile...aap jo chahenge waisa he hoga...
savithri devi felt very happy...she kissed geet's forehead...gave her all the precious diamond jewelery as shagun and left happily...geet parents were very happy with the alliance...in all this happiness they failed to understand the turmoil in geet's heart...Geet gave a fake smile before them and ran to her room to hid her tears...
In that pain and hurt she took a notebook and went on writing maan...maan...maan...maan...maan...untill all her pain was lost in tears...with no energy left to sit geet felt asleep on the floor...
Like previous night...that night also the urge to see her became strong in maan...he decided to go to radheshyam house...he slowly came outside his room without making any noise...then he tiptoed upto main door...suddenly the lights were on...then he heard a voice from behind..."ithni raath ko kaha jaa rahe ho maan"...maan was shocked and slowly turned back to see who it was...his words got struck in his throat...he could only say "papa"...hari came near maan and looked at him with questioning eyes...
maan: papa...bas neend nahi aa rahi thi...tho meine socha thoda hawa kake aao...
hari: hawakane keliye...ithne raath ko...nahi maan...yeh samay achcha nahi hey...jao apne kamre mein...aur so jao...
maan: ji papa...
hari went back to his room ...maan with no other choice left went back to his room...he wanted to see her ...that is the only thing playing in his mind right now...then he looked at window...a smile came upon his face...in another few minutes he was out of the house...
maan reached radheshyam's house...by now he became an expert to climb..within no time he reached geet's window and entered her room...the room was dark...with the help of his mobile light he started moving...suddenly he stopped when he saw the bed empty...
maan: yeh kaha gayi hogi...kahi doosre room mein tho nahi aaya mein...nahi..nahi...mujhe yaad hey..woh yehi room hey...par woh hey kaha...
maan then looked around and saw her sleeping on floor...first he felt she was unconscious and got worried...but when she moved in sleep he sighed in relief...he came close to her...to get some light he opened the other window...moonlight directly fell on her face...she looked like an angel ...maan looked at her without an eyeblink lost in her beauty...he had a strong feeling to caress her face but stopped when he noticed tear marks on her cheeks...
maan: yeh ab thak ro rahi thi?
his hart wrenched when he saw her in such state...
maan: patha nahi isko aisa kya mushkil aaya...aise hi rothe rothe so gayi...
he then looked aside...geet was holding a notebook...maan slowly removed the notebook from her hands...when he was about to open she started shivering...maan took a blanket and covered her...he took a pillow and kept beneath her head carefully so that her sleep is not disturbed...
he then sat beside her...leaning to the wall...he sat there looking at her...then he remembered about notebook...
maan: kya hey iss book mein...
he then opened the book...he got shock of his life...the whole book was filled with only his name..."maan"...his eyes widened in shock...he couldnot analyze the situation...one side he was trying different plans to meet her...and here his name was written by her like "ramkoti"...
maan: yeh kya hey...yeh ladki mujhe jaanthi hey...kya isliye woh kal mere madath ki thi...aur mere naam ko ithne baar inhone kyu likha hey...kya matlab hey aisa likhne ka...agar woh mujhe jaanthi hey...kal jab mujhe usne dekha tha..kyu ajnabee ki tarah behave kiya...kya yeh koi aur ladka ka naam hey?
maan sat there confused...his mind was filled with number of questions which she only could answer...maan then returned back to his house...with that notebook...that whole night he just kept looking at the pages of note book...all those pages were having dried drops of water...he then understood that it was her tears...maan paced in his room...he was not knowing what to do and how to break the mistery behind the book...then he called lucky...
lucky who was in deep sleep suddenly got up when his phone rang...he saw the number...it was maan...
lucky: oye maan...oye zalim dilwala...tujhe raath ko hi samay miltha hey kya tumhare woh se milne keliye
maan got irritated...
maan: lucky..bakwaas bandh karo...aur mere ghar ke paas ajao...mujhe tumse baath karna hey...
lucky: ab phone mein bhi baath hi tho kar rahe hey...
maan : tu araha hey ya nahi...
lucky: teek hey...aaraha hu...
within 5 min lucky reached maan's house and waited for him outside...then he saw maan coming outside from window...
lucky: yeh aaj kal apne hi ghar se hi chor ki tarah bahar araha hey...kya se kya bangaya hey...
maan came near lucky...
lucky: arey yaar...kya phir jaana hey unka ghar...
maan: koi zaroorath nahi...mein wahi se aaraha hu...
lucky got shocked..."kya" ..."aaj tu phir gaya waha pe"..." mujhe pakka yakeen hey. ab tum mujhe marvaogi"
maan: lucky...pehle mere baath sun...
lucky: agar mein naa kahu tho..kya tum mujhe chodega nahi na...tho bathao...
maan: uss radheshyam ke pothi ko tune dekha...
lucky : nahi...maan...mein ne suna hey ki unke ghar mein na ladkiyon ko zyaada bahar nahi ghoomne dethe...bas ghar aur mandir...aur mandir ko bhi woh subah aur shyaam ke waqt jab koi nahi hothe hey na...tab hi jaane dethe hey...aur unke pothi ke saheliyon ko bhi ghar mein hi bhula dethi hey...uss ladki ka padayi bhi ghar mein hi hua hey...tu yeh sab kyu puch raha hey?
maan remained silent ...he was thinking...
maan: mein baadh mein batha tha hu..tu ab jaa...
having said these words maan went back to his room leaving lucky alone...lucky went back to his house with a crying face...
maan couldnot sleep whole night...everything was like a puzzle to him...which he was not able to solve...
maan: ab mujhe unse milna hi hoga...mein patha lagakar rahunga ki aaqir iss maan mein hu ya kisi aur (looking at his name in book)...
next day...
Early in the morning he wore his track suit and went out for jogging...towards radheshaym's house...then he saw a 6yr old girl sitting on the road side on a small rock...waiting seriously...first he ignored and went ahead for some distance...but he stopped...thinking...
maan: yeh choti ladki ithni subah subah yaha kya kar rahi hey..koi bade bhi nahi hey iske saath...
he then came near her...she gave a look and again turned her head towards the road...maan sat beside her...she moved far from maan...
maan: aap kisi keliye intezaar kar rahe hey kya?
she remained silent...looked at him once and again turned her head...maan smiled...
maan then took out his mobile and started playing some song...she still remained silent...then he started playing games on his mobile...when maan was excited when he scored points...that small girl moved closer to maan to look into mobile...after few min...she was close to maan ...holding his hand...and enjoying the game...maan then looked at her...she again turned her face...
maan: aap bhi khelenge?
the small girl nodded in excitement...maan was gave his phone...
maan: waise aap ne bathaya nahi...aap yaha kya kar rahe hey...
girl: woh...bhaiyya...mein...didi...keliye...wait kar rahi hu
maan: didi?
girl: haan bhaiyya..geet didi...har roz yeh time pe aakar muje apne sath le chalthi thi music aur dance sikhane...patha nahi kal nahi aaya...aur aaj bhi ithna dher kardhiya...
maan: tumhe darr nahilagtha yaha akele baitne mein...
girl: nahi bhaiyya...didi kehthi hey...bachon ke saath hamesha bhagwan rehatha hey...unke raksha keliye...mein bachchi hu na...mere saath bhi bhagwan hey meri raksha karne keliye...tho mein kyu daru?
maan smiled...
maan: aap ke didi bahuth achche hey shayad
girl: haan bhaiyya..didi bahuth achchi hey
maan: aap ka ghar kaha hey...?
girl: mera ghar mumbai mein hey...mein yaha summer holidays keliye aayi hu...apni naani ke paas...woh rahi naani ke ghar...
she then showed her granny's house..opposite to road...
maan: aapka naam?
mera naam..."jasmine" hey...
maan: bahuth achcha hey aapka naam bilkul aapki tarah...waise aapke didi abhi tak nahi aaya...mujhe lagtha hey aaj bhi nahi aayega...shayad koi kaam mein phas gayi hogi...aap jaayiye beta ghar ke andhar...
jasmine: nahi bhaiyya...didi aayegi...kyunki...mein unki sabse best friend hu na...
maan: achcha..tho phir kal kyu nahi aayi
jasmine got worried...she stood up not knowing what to do...
geet woke up when alarm rang...she opened her eyes...she got shocked when it was 6 am
geet: hey bhagwaan..mein ghadhi ki tarah so gayi...mandir jaana hey...jasmine bhi wait karthi hogi..kal bhi nahi gaya..uss admi ki wajah se...woh bechari mere liye intezaar karthi hogi...
she cursed herself and rushed to washroom to take bath...in that hurry she totally forgot about the notebook...
maan: jasmine...ab aap ghar jaake sojayiye...mujhe lagtha hey woh nahi aayegi...
jasmine looked at maan with sad face...she turned to leave...but stopped suddenly...her face glowed ...
jasmine: bhaiyya ...geet didi aagayi...
maan frowned his eyes...
maan: kaha?
jasmine showed her finger towards the road...there he saw the same dream girl whom he saw in temple and was thinking about every second...maan stood speechless...when she was nearing him...
maan:(monologue) tho inka naam geet hey...khubsoorath pari keliye...khubsoorath naam...
...ok...geet...rastha milgaya...tumhari dil ke baath jaanne keliye...aur tum tak pahunchne keliye...
next: mission impossible😊
