THE JADED PRINCE [MG] PART 206-207 Page 25 - Page 7

PART 186

M-This won't take minute now would it?

He glares straight at the kid ...sleeve se shoulder par agaya hai Maan ka haath

Geet looks at ma

M-Or maybe you forgot? And maybe everyone else forgot it too?

Maan says coaxing the kid towards a deal...as long as they don't mention it... Doesn't matter they saw... a whole lot of people have seen much more of him anyways

Maa-Haan haan...shayad bhool gaya hoga kya thi.. bacha hai Maanl beta jane do..

G-Maan, jaane do please...bachcha hai

Maan chod deta hai aur maa ko ek look deta hai thoda surprised sa...he thinks that if even she knows then probably the whole house knows

Bahcha bhaag gaya Aur Maan sochta hai ki ab bhalai isi mei hai ki khud bhi kat liya jaye isse pehle wo saaliyan aayein

Geet gives a hard look to Maan. She looks unhappy and annoyed

He shrugs at her look

M- I'll be back by 5 ok?

He says getting up and moving near Geet and gives a kiss on her cheek

She has a straight face concentrating in kitchen

Maan ko koi galat kam abhi laga nai and his mind has already moved into other matters

He goes to Maa and tells her ki he is leaving and will be back by 5

M-Aap Geet ka khayal rakhna

Ma-Geet bye to bol de                                                                                                                  

G-Hmm bye [curtly]

Maan looks at Geet ki hua kya... but decides that he'll deal with it later...

M-It ok... aap khayal rakhiyega ki koi zyada pareshaan na kare

He leaves

G-I am sorry about his behaviour

Maa-You don't have to apologize for him. It was rather sweet of him really... [Maa laughs]. He even tried to scare a kid so that your feeling won't get hurt...is he always this caring?

G-Too much! Pata nahi mujhe kya samjhta hai

Maa shurgs...

Ma-Men...sometime they are too overprotective... it's nothing wrong just annoying I guess but sweet too

G-Maa aap to bass uski side liya karo. Ek din mein aap uski ho gayi ho

Ma-Maine uski side kahan li...main to husbands' ka general behaviour bata rahi hoon...ab tu har baat ussi ki respect mein soch rahi hai... to maybe you are missing him too much already

G-Puhlzzz maaa

Ma-Waise beta...tumhe pata tha ki subah  gate khula hua hai?

G-Gate? Haan Maan ne bataya...so rahe the hum

Ma-oh...

G-Khula kaise?

Maa shrugs...

Ma-Maine to nahi khola. Achha tu kha breakfast mein aati hoon

Maa bhi kat leti hai wahan se

Wahan peeche garden mein contest chal raha hai...they've all taken off their shirts... aise hi baat chid gai thi ki Maan ki muscles show ki hai.. lekin fir jisse Maan ne dhamkaya tha...he says ki nahi nahi real hongi and all are like nahi aise dikhti hai waise dikthi hai and then they jump to ki meri itni hai meri itni hai and they  all took their shirts and tees off and ab contest chal raha hai kikiski sabse achi hai. Jisse Maan ne daraya tha wo to fan type ho gaya hai keh raha ki kitni bhi bana lo... na kabhi jiju jitni banegi nor will you have ever have his charisma...6 pack dekhi thi ki nai dhyan se

They are shouting ki itni well-defined bhi nahi thi and then uske biceps and triceps pe heated debate ho rahi hai. Everyone is like ki he is even better than Shekhar bhaiya

Usko bhi kheech lete hain...shirt utarwa dete hain... sab lage huye hain... deciding the dominance order by physical strength

Geet enters                                 

G-Yahan kya ho raha hai?

Sab chup...staring at Geet

Shekhar-kuch nahi

Geet is staring at all of them

He grabs his shirt and takes off not wanting to admit that he was involved in the foolish discussion

G-Bhaiya, main to ye puchne aayi thi ki achaar khatam ho gaya kya? Main dhund rahi thi

Shekhar-Achaar?

G-Haan pickle

Shekhar-oh...Maa se poocho mujhe kya pata

Shekhar bhag leta hai

Sab mein decide hua ki 1. Maan  hai aur 2. Shekhar aur no.3 ke liye abhi ladai chal rahi hai

Geet looks at the kids with doubtful eyes and goes out of commotion. They all start posing again

G-Maa sab pagal ho gaye hain bahar. Waise achaar kahan hai maa

Maa-Kaun pagal ho gaya hai? Achaar?Achaar ka kya karna hai tujhe?

G-Nahaana hai! Khana hai aur kya? Maa aap bhi naa. Bahar pata nahi sab shirt utaarke naajaane kya kar rahe hain?

Ma-oh ... ye bachche bhi...

Maa shakes her head

Ma-Achaar to khatam ho gaya beta...kal aur daal dungi

G-ohhh mera maan tha khane ka. Kyaa maa. Khair aapne uss time kyun bulaya tha?

Bhabhi comes

Bhabhi-Kya chahie?

G-Achaar, par wo to h hi nahi

Ma-Kal daal denge

Bhabhi-Kyaaa accharrr?????????????? Maaa achaar samjhi aap?

Ma-Kya?

G-Kya?

Bhabhi-Samjhi nahi aap? Achaar..khatta khatta

Maa shakes her head

Ma-so?

Bhabhi-Geet achaar

Ma-Haan haan Geet ko hi chahiye to???

Bhabhi whispers into ma's ears

Bhabhi-May be Geet is in family way

G-Maa, kyun time waste kar rahi ho, batao naa kyun bulaya tha

Bhabhi-Maa bolo naa. Pucho naa usse

Maa gets hold of Geet and bhabhi maa and Geet rush to maa 's room

Maa and bhabhi are thinking by the way ki aaj jo subah nazare dekhe to Geet being pregnant wouldn't be that big a deal anyways

Maa gate band karke

Maa- Kahish baith yahan

Geet sits clueless

Dono Geet ke ek ek side bed par baith jate hai...Geet ko ajeeb lag raha hai

Maa holds Geet's hands

Ma-Beta are you pregnant?

G-What????????????????????????????

Bhabhi-Sshhh!!!

G-Kyaaa?

Ma-Chilla mat...bata na are you pregnant?

G-Nooo

Bhabhi-Are you sure... tum achhar mang rahi thi na

G-To! Usse kya hota hai? aap log pagal ho gaye ho kya?

PART 187

G-Nooo

G-Main pregnant kaise ho sakti hoon

Maa- Kyun nahi ho sakti... OOOHHH Maan impotent hai kya?!!!!!

G-MAAA aisa mat kaho

Bhabhi-Shhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maa- Then why do you say you can't? Beta agar if you are not sure it's ok

Bhabhi-Have you checked with a kit?

Tabhi, bhabhi ko uske husband bula lete hain and she has to go

Maa- haan tune check kiya?

G-Kya check? Mujhe pata hai

Maa- Nahi beta sometimes it happens by mistake...even if you take precautions...there's nothing to be embarrassed about

G-Maaa aisa nahi ho sakta. Stop asking me about it

Maa-ok ok.. sharmana band kar. Telll you what we will do. Aaj hum bazaar chalte hain pharmacy se we'll buy the test kit and then you can check. Kisi ko nai batayenge jab tak result nahi aa jaata

G-Maaa can't you understand !!!!!!!!

Maa-What's there to understand?

G-I and Maan don't have any physical relationship. Samjhi?

Maa looks at her ki kya bakwas kar rahi hai

Geet takes a deep breath

G- Khair chodo. Kyun bulaya tha mujhe?

Ma-What do you mean... I mean... Geet... beta...dekh...having a relation with your husband is nothing to be ashamed of... aise kya keh rahi hai? We all know you two are quite intimate with each other..

G-Nahi hai to, kya kahun?. Kuch aur kahun? Ye hi sach hai. Manna ho to mano and I am fine this way

Ma-But... we all saw it...

Maa ke muh se slip ho jata hai

G-Saw???????? Saw what????? Maa?

Ma-Saw...saw...

G-Kya dekha? Answer me Maaa

Ma-The looks he gives you...

G-What looks? Maaa saaf saaf bataogi? Maine abhi tak sab sach kaha hai, aap sach nahi bol sakti?

Ma-The type of looks a young married couple gives to each other

G-Can looks make a lady pregnant? Wah wah!

Ma-It's true he does look at you as if he can't get enough of you...but.. .you two sleep together...what do you mean you don't have a... does he have a sexual problem?

G-Maaa

Ma-Like men have of performing?

G-Stop it Maa

Ma-Arre poochun nahi main?!!  Meri beti ki life hai  usse problem hai to kyun naa puchoon?

G-We are comfortable this way

Ma- Geet jhoot mat bol.. I have seen the looks he gives you. He wants you very much and if you people don't do it then there must be some serous reasons...if he has some problem performing then you should persuade him to go see a doctor about it. They have cure for that sort of things

G-Maa, zaruri nahi naa harr rishte mein bas sex ho

Maa looks at her ki kya bakwas hai

G-Ranjeet ki baat yaad hai naa. He was such a...par Maan aisa nahi hai

Ma-Ranjeet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ma-So that's it! O Ranjeet is the problem...Maan wouldn't do it coz you have been with Ranjeet.

G-Offcourse not. Aisa bikul nahi hai

Ma-Aisa nai hai waisa nai hai to hai kya? Are you cold and unresponsive?

G-Aap bass itna samajh lo, ki humein waqt chahiye, to understand each other, to know each other... And love each other and want each other.

Ma- Agar Maan ko koi problem hoti to he wouldn't look for reasons to touch you and get close to you. And ye waqt chaiye wali baat kya hai? Dhang se bata ki problem kya hai

G-Kya problem ...we just wanna go slow

Ma-Slow!! You've been to a looong honey moon ...how slow can you people be?

G-Maan ko waise bhi ye sab pasand nahi...zyada ladkiyan pasand nahi and it was not a honeymoon... Maan ka project tha wahan

Ma-No!!!!! He can't be gay!!!

G-Maaa..matlab..Maa please!

Ma-Main aur kya samjhoon ki ladkiyaan pasand nahi hain? And if he isn't gay then which man doesn't like it? I tell you all men are like dogs in heat in 1st yr of their marriage

G-He does not. He is a sober, matured, calm guy

Ma-Sober? Dogs don't drink..

Maa mutters

G-Huh?

Maa-Dekh beta, I am just asking coz I care and I wanna help. I don't want this to become a problem between you too

G-Maa, I am big enough to take care of myself

Ma- You'll always be my child and small enough to need help

G-Itne din, I managed naa

Ma-I don't want you managing!!!! I want you happy!

G-I am happy! Very happy

Ma-Ufff mat bata. Mujhe mat bata, kisi ko mat bata andar hi andar get frustrated with it all. Ab ruk yahan mujhe aur bhi kaam hai tujhse

G-I am not frustrated. Do I look frustrated?

Ma-You you look sound and act frustrated

G-I???????????????? What????????? When did I act or look frustrated?

Ma-Subah faltu gussa ho rai thi Maan par... that's a sign of acute frustration

G-Faltu?

Maa gets up and goes to open her cupboard

Ma-Haan haan faltu

G-Wo kaise Pratiek ko daant raha tha, pyaar karu use?

Ma-Daanta kahan usne? Naa aawaz uthayi usne

G-Jo bhi kiya

Ma-Haan han saari galti ussi ki hai...since he is the one who is...not performing I guess

G-Mummaaa ufff!!!

Maa ati hai wapas Geet ke paas jewellery ka dabba lekar

kGChotta mota to chalta rehta hai couples ke beech. Ab ye kya hai?

Maa-Aur maine bhi yahi kaha na ki I don't want these silly stupid problems to become big ones...bina baat ke gussa karna is not good

G-Maa, Maan ki zindagi to dekho

Ma opens the box as she talks

G-Islie Maan ke ghao, shayad usse abhi bhi dard pohonchate hai. Samajti ho naa tum

Ma-Maan ki zindagi... I know what he told us all... physical intimacy se iska kya relation hai? In fact I think he would like it more since he didn't have anyone to hug him and give him a reassuring touch or pat his hand when he was growing up

G-Maa, kuch cheezin pati patni ke beech rahe to hi acha hai

Geet starts fidgeting with the box

PART 188

Ma-In fact I think he would like it more since he didn't have anyone to hug him and give him a reassuring touch or pat his hand when he was growing up

Ma-Pranav ne edu loan le liya hai. Paison ki kami nahi hai iss ghar mein

G-Maa kitni adiyal ho

Ma-I know you are rich now and Maan can buy you so much better jewellery than this but...

Maa looks away sadly.. ki ab uski beti ka status itna high ho gaya hai ki wo ye gehne pehenna to door le bhi nahi rhai

G-Acha thik hai. Mujhe bass ek male ring chahiye. Kya ho gaya ab Maa?

Maa- Kuch nahi [sniffing away misty eyes]

G-Maine to isliye kaha ki, ab kahan pehnungi main ye sab office mein bhi nahi pehenti. Pade rahenge isse achcha inka use aa jata

Ma-To pade rehene de naa

G-Maa, kya hoga pade rehke

Ma-Jo karna hai kar

Maa gets up frustrated and saddened and goes out

G-Maaa achcha thik hai le lungi, bass. Tum bhi naa. Ab male ring ka jugaad karo. Rukooo

She follows Maa par maa to senti aur sad hoke chali gayi

Geet calls Maan

M- Hello Geet?Kya hua? Is everything ok? Kisi ne kuch kaha tumse?

G-Nahi. Maine kaha

M-Matlab?

G-Maa naraaz ho gai

M-Maa naraz ho gai? Aisa kya kaha?

He can't believe that such a sweet lady could get upset

G-Maine to bas itna kaha ki naa...Maa mujhe gehne dikha rahi thi. I said main kya karungi inka aap baaki behno ki shaadi mein use kar lo bass naraz ho gai Maa ki haan tera status badh gaya hai, tu gehne rakh bhi nahi sakti

M-oh... but you do like to wear jewellery wasn't it nice?

G-They were nice but itni heavy jewellery kahan pehenti hoon main aur ye kaam aa jayegi, baakiyon ki shaadi mein isliye kaha maine

M-Hmmm well  you weren't wrong

G-Seee Maa ko phone karo aur samjhao

M-But well this thing... this jewellery giving is his some sort or that pooja tradition type of thing?

G-No...family likes to gift the daughter or the loved one

M-Hmm then you should take it maybe.. So that she won't feel bad and...Look you want it to be given to hers right...so you take it and when time comes to give them.  we'll give them more...Different one

G-Hmmm.

M-So that'll make your sisters happy too so you accept it

M-I'll talk to your mum.. unhe phone do

G-Hmm deti hoon...mil hi nahi rahi Maa...waise pata hai tumhe kya hua

M-Kya hua?

G-Mom and bhabhi naa [She starts laughing]...started asking me that am I pregnant

M-oh...

G-I said no...no ways

M-Why would they think that? As for kids we can say that we don't want any right now

G-Because I was asking for achaar, that's why

M-What's achaar got to do with it?

G-Women like having sour things during that time

M-I see...

G-Mom also said that she will get a kit for me that accidently to nahi ho gaya

M-oh... then you should get it. Let them all rest their over active minds

G-I said that's impossible. Baat khatam

M-ummm you said that and they accepted?

He sounds very doubtful

G-Naa naa mom you know..How she is

M-Haan I know so I guess you agree to the test and let the matter rest

G-You know mom said...kyun beta koi problem hai? Kya Maan...Maan im... impotent...yaa performance problem

M-WHAT?!! Why didn't you just agree to the test?! What am I supposed to say now?

G-Say nothing

M-If your mom asks me?

G-Would they even ask you? Achcha what will she say- Maan beta do you have any problem? Are you gay beta? Impotent or diseased?

M-They are your family I wouldn't put anything under 'they wouldn't do that 'tag

G-You naa Maan

M-You all make mountains out of mole hole. You know what, handle your own mom. Main nai karta unse baat. Just say you accept the jewelry

G-I did handle her. Tum karo naa usnse baat. She won't ask

M-Nope

G-Maan please

M-No

G-Pleaaaseee

M-I don't want her asking me anyone of those questions

G-Why are you so afraid of her?

M- Coz I won't lie to her and I can't be evasive... I don't do evasion

G-She won't ask. If she does tell the truth. Why are you afraid? Are you really impotent?

M-Good God Geet!!!

G-What?

M-Am I...I am..Mad... You are all mad... from your sisters to your brothers to you

G-Then why are you getting so affected? If you are not then not

PART 189

G-She won't ask. If she does tell the truth. Why are you afraid? Are you really impotent?

M-Good God Geet!!!

G-What?

M-Am I...I am..Mad... You are all mad... from your sisters to your brothers to you

G-Then why are you getting so affected? If you are not then you are not. If someone says I am a man, I would just laugh it off because I know I am not a man

M-Mujhe baat nahi karni tumhari Maa se, you talk to her

He disconnects the phone

Geet calls again

G-What? Maan [lovingly]...Maan...Maaa...aaan

M-Geet...I am not talking to your mom

G-Kya ho gaya tumhe? Huh?

M-Mujhe kya hua?mujhe kuch nahi hua... it's something called not wanting to be embarrassed

G-Come on...she won't ask such a thing pleaseee

M-To tum hi baat kar lo. Geet mujhe aur bhi kaam hai ziid mat karo

G-Pleaseee...mere liye...meri khushi ke liye

M-Stop trying to emotional blackmail me

G-Fine, mat karo. Waise bhi I will talk to her

M-Good

G-1 mahine yahan rahungi to baat ho hi jayegi naa

M-Tum ek mahine ghar par hi ruk rahi ho?

G-HAAN !

M-Ye kab decide hua?

G-Abhi

M- I see...

G-Kyunki mera pati to mujse pyaar to karta nahi, to main jaake kya karun

M- If you wanna whist something small into a big issue like this and make my feelings for you handle to get whatever you want, and threaten me like this...then you don't know the type of person I am to think that you can do it

G-Maan...why are you getting angry? Why do you take everything so seriously?

M-Agar har cheez ke liye you are going to mockingly question my love...even if it's just a small joke for you.. Small tantrum for you...small prank for you... It's not the same for me life hasn't been kind enough to each me to enjoy such things and jokes. So I take it all seriously

G-Maan...I didn't meant such thing. Maan...I never mean to hurt you. You know I love you...don't you?

M-You think you do...I'll see you in the evening... I have to go now Geet... bye

G-Maan listen

M-I'll talk to you later Geet... bye... I am really busy right now

G-Hmm, bye..come soon

Maan  phone rakh deta hai

Geet goes to ma

G-Maa..maa..kya hai..senti mat lo naa. Ab Maan bhi senti ho gaya. Kya hai, sab mujhse aisa mat karo

Maa- Haan sab tujhse hi aisa kar rahe hain na.. tune to kuch kiya hi nahi hoga.. poori duniya ko ek saath doura pada hai...  [Maa says shaking her head..]. Jaa jaakar Maan ko mana le. Mujhe abhi rasoi mei sabke liye lunch banana hai

G-Wo maan jayega, Pehle aap to maan jao

She hugs Maa

Maa resists for a few seconds but then gives in and hugs her back

G-Maa suno naa, ek gents ring banwani hai naa, achi si. Hamare Maan ji ke liye

Ma-oh sach? Achha idea hai...tujhe Maan ki ring ke liye size pata hai uska?

G-Andaaza laga lenge

Ma-Nahi nahi... adaaza nai chalega

M-Mujhe kya pata uska size. Thodi choti badi pehen lega naa

Ma-Agar banwaenge to bilkul theek . Tu pooch lena aaj kya hai size. Phir hum ring ka order de denge

G-Usse thode puchungi. Usse surprise dungi naa

Ma-To usski koi anguthi le le

G-Uske paas nahi hai anguthi. Maaa dukaan mein dekh lenge naa

Ma-Socho agar wo tumhare liye zyada loose ya tight ring le aata to tumhe kaisa lagta?

G-Wo to..By chance nahi laaya. Kaunsa usne mera size dekha tha

Ma-To kya galat size ki laya?

G-Maan bohot intelligent hai isliye

Ma-Aur waise bhi uski engagement ring to hogi naa

G-Nahi?

Ma-Kyun nahi?

G-Nahi, wo hi to deni hai.

Ma-Engagement ring nahi hai? Matlab?

G-Kyunki hamari direct shaadi hui thi

Ma-Kya? Pehle engagement nahi hiu thi?

G-Nahi. Hum ne ek dusre ko shaadi ke registrar office mein hi dekha

Ma-Phir bhi agar direct Shaadi hi hui to.. anghuti hi pehnate

Maa ke to sans si atak gaye ye registrar office ki naam sunkar but then he remembers ki Geet ki image kya thi uss time

Geet shrugs

G-Ab bolo naa Maa

Ma-Pata to karna padega.. .yaa tu apne bhai ki koi anhguti maang kar try karwa le Maan se yaa phir tu bol main seedhaa hi pooch loon

G-Aap? Puch lena par anghuthi ki baat mat karna. Dusre tarike se puchna

Ma-oh kis tarike se?

Maa asks amused Geet ki baaton se

G-Mujhe kya pata. Aap jaano wo to

Ma-hmmm ye to mushkil kaam hoga...acha chal main hi pooch lungi jab wo ayega. Ek kaam kar tu bazaar ja kar design  choose kar le.. .shaam ko wo jab aega tab main usse pooch lungi

G-Thik hai

Maa also nods and tells her ki kis shop per jana hai
