~Episode 74~
Scene 1:
"Anjali, main aur Chillu nahi aa rahe hain. Please tum log chale jao."
"Tum dono nahi chaloge toh hum bhi nahi jayenge. Arre unhone humein specially invite kiya hai, and if we don't go it'll be rude."
"Anjali, tum unko humare taraf se sorry kah dena. But we are not coming."😕
"Geet, tum yeh sab kya kar rahi ho?😕 Jab se Maan Singh Khurana se mili ho tum itna ajeeb sa bartav kyun kar rahi ho. Tum zarroor kuch chupa rahi ho."
Geet is scared but she manages to hide her fear.😕
"Nahi aisi koi baat nahi hai.😊 Woh tumse aur Chillu se milne aaye the. Aur iss party main bhi tumhari wajah se humein bula rahe hain. Main aur Guru zarroor aate, par tum jaanti ho mere usoolon ko...I mean I hardly know him or his family," she lied, her words almost faltering.
"Theekh hai, I won't force you. But Chillu ko toh aane do. Maan Khurana usse bahut pasand karte hain, kitna attached ho gaye hain woh inn bachon se, especially Guru se jaise woh unka hi..."
"Bilkul nahi...Anjali please" she gasps in fear.
"Theekh hai...agar koi bhi zarroorrat ho toh phone kar dena...ab usme toh koi problem nahi hai na Madame."
"Nahi..." she smiles.
After they left, Geet falls to the ground crying.
Guru was listening to all the conversation from behind the curtains. He slowly walked to Geet, after Anjali and Chillu left and asked her, "Mamma, aap royiye mat, mujhe Maan uncle ki party main nahi jaana hai, mujhe yahin aapke saath rehna hai."
Geet looks at her baby, a complete reflection of Maan, except for her eyes. She pulls him into a hug and says, "Mamma ka beta bahut samajhdaar hai...I love you beta...I love you."
"I love you too Mamma."
But in reality Guru wanted to go to the party and meet Maan...He felt happy and secure with him, like he would have felt with his father, but unfortunately the child didn't know that he felt safe and happy with Maan because he was indeed his dad, whom he was waiting all this time.
"Mamma, main apni diary likhne jaa raha hoon..."
"Okay beta...Mamma abhi khana laga degi."
Scene 2:
At
the party...
Anjali, her husband Rahul and Chillu are mesmerised by the grand arrangement. They meet Maan who greeted them humbly. But his eyes wandered around to have a glimpse of the two people who mattered to him most.
"Aap Geet aur Guru ko doondh rahe honge, woh dono nahi aaye. Geet ne aapse sorry kehne ko kaha hai."
Maan tries to look unconcerned and says, "Koi baat nahi...aap log please party enjoy kijiye."
Maan then meets other guests, and some of them ask him about his wife, to which he had no answer. Then Dadima comes and tells them that his wife and son would join them soon, to which Maan gave her a stare and Dadima like always dismissed his angry look with her confident demeanour.
"Dadima, yeh aap sabse kya keh rahi hain? Aap ko pata bhi hai..."
"Maan beta please aap shaant ho jayiye. Hum aapki Dadi hain, koi employee nahi. Hum kuch bhi karenge aur kahenge and you'll not reprimand me like this."
"Dadima...main toh bas..."
"Bas enough is enough aapne bahut man-mani kar li...ab aap chup chap humari baat suniye," she stops, and then points to the door, "actually suniye nahi dekhiye..."
Maan looks at the direction she was pointing and goes blank...because right there like an angel holding a cherub stood Geet with Guru in her arms. Maan wanted to run to them but restrained himself. But Dadima couldn't so she rushed to them and held them both to her chest, tears gushing.
"Geet, aapko humari bilkul yaad nahi aayi?"
"Nahi Dadima, bahut yaad aayi parr main Maan ki zindagi main ek problem nahi banna chahti thi..."
"Geet, aapko galat fahmi hui hai...Maan aur..." but before Dadima could complete her sentence, Anjali interrupted her.
"Geet! Mujhe pata tha tum Guru ka dil kabhi nahi dukha sakti," she then turns to Dadima and introduces Geet to her, "Dadima yeh Geet hai, meri saheli, aur Guru se toh aap mil chuki hai."
Dadima is not listening to Anjali, she is just looking at Guru with tears in her eyes.
"Yeh toh meri jaan hai...," she picks Guru into her lap and hugs him, then suddenly realises that everyone is watching her, "...matlab yeh itne pyaare hain ki sabhi inko apne seene se lagana chahenge," she hugs him again, knowing that he is her own great grand-son, her Maan's baby whom she longed for all these years.
"Hey Guru accha hua tu aa gaya...chal na...jaake Maan uncle ke room main khelte hain," says Chillu excitedly.
Guru begins to go with him when...
"Guru ruk jao..." Geet stops him.
"Kya hua Mamma?"
"Bete aap mere saath hi rahiye..."
"Geet jaane do na...ussi ka toh ghar hai...I meant yeh ghar bhi uss ke ghar jaisa hi...jaane do bachon ko..."
"Theekh hai, parr sambhal ke..."
"Thank you Mamma."
...
"Geet, yaar kitna bada ghar hai na. Aur ab Maan Khurana yahin rahenge. WOW!"
"Hmmm..."
"Kya hmmm?? Tum kuch bolti kyun nahi? Tab se haan...hmmm... ke sivay aur kuch nahi keh rahi ho? Baat kya hai?? Arreee dekh Maan Singh Khurana...chal chalke baat karte hain."
"Nahi Anjali mujhe nahi aana."
"Uf-oh! Tum na... main jaa rahi hoon, tum yahi khadi raho."
...
Scene 3:
Dadima sees both Maan and Geet stealing glances at each other.
"Babaji, kuch toh ho raha hai, parry eh dono admit nahi karenge. Geet samajhti hai Maan aur Sam ek saath hai, aur Maan naaraz hai kyunki Geet ne un par vishwaas nahi kiya...Ab in dono ko milane ke liye mujhe hi kuch karna padega."
Dadima gets on the stairs and takes a mic...
"Ladies and Gentlemen! I want to thank you all for coming to this party and giving us an opportunity to meet new friends in this new city. Now, main aapko zyaada bore nahi karoongi and aap sabko yahn dance floor pe invite karna chahoongi. Lekin...lekin...isme ek twist hai...aap apne partners ke saath nahi balki mere dwara choose kiye random partners ke saath dance karenge..." there a buzz among th guests...
Naughty Dadima has a plan in mind to bring Maan and Geet close and this dance was going to put her plan in place...
"So are you all ready..."
She separates men and women on two sides. Geet and Maan stay away...After sorting all, Dadima moves to Maan...
"Oh! Sabhi ko partners mil gaye, parr mere pota toh akela hi reh gaya..."
Geet wondered where Sam and her son were...
"Dadima, please stop it...main bilkul samajh raha hoon aap kya soch rahi hain...I am not going to dance "
"Arre beta aapko kaun dance karne ke liye bol raha hai..." she then speaks into the mic... "Iss party main everyone should dance parr Geet ka right partner toh usse mila hi nahi, iss liye hum unke partner ko le aaye hain...MAAN!"
"Dadima?"
But it was too late she pushed him towards Geet, who was really embarrassed and looked around really embarrassed.
Maan approaches her, but she looks away. He looks at
her, and forcefully takes her hands into his and pulls her to the dance floor. 😳

~⭐️Episode 75⭐️~
"Maan, chodiye mujhe. Mujhe dard ho raha hai," tells Geet looking straight into his eyes.
But he wouldn't leave her hand, "Kyun Geet?😡 Pehle toh tum humesha mere paas rehti thi, aur ab tumhe mujhe dekhne main bhi taqleef ho rahi hai?😡 Huh! Shayad woh pyaar bhi ek samjhotha tha tumhare liye...Main humesha tumhe musibaton se bachata aur tumne socha hoga mujhse shaadi kar tum mere ehsaanon ko chukka dogi...Kyun Geet yahi sach hai na...ki tumne mujhse kabhi pyaar kiya hi nahi?"
Geet felt a thousand daggers piercing her heart. She looked at him in disbelief and pain, "Maan?"
Maan is questioning her love for him, she just couldn't believe it. But, lots of things that happened in their lives were never even thought by them in their wildest dreams...And Geet thought when everything has changed between them, then why not pretend that what she thought and still believes to be her true love actually means nothing to her.
"Kyun Geet, gar tumne mujhse pyaar kiya hota toh shayad um mujhe yoon chod kar..."
Geet interrupted him, "Haan, maine aap se kabhi bhi pyaar nahi kiya. Woh meri galatfehmi thi..." Every word was killing her like a million times but she just went on continuing to break his heart.
He was so angry because he knew she was just lying. And the more she lied the angrier he became. He could no longer listen to her words and pulled her into a tight hold. She gasped in shock and looked at him in shock.
And he led her to the centre of the dance floor and made her dance...
Music...Dim light...Dance...
Suddenly the partners change as they move in a circle...
Maan with someone else and Geet with another guy...
Na jaane kyun...
Hota hai yeh zindagi ke saath...
Achanak yeh dil kisi ke jaane ke baad
Kare phir uski yaad...
Choti choti si baat...
Na jaane kyun...
They were with different partners, but all the time they were just lost in each other's eyes. It seemed like the song was just describing their feelings for each other. They showed indifference at the outside but inside they were dying to be with each other.
Finally
they come face to face😳...And this time neither Geet nor Maan let go off each
other. The rest of the people moved out and it was just the two of them,
completely lost in each other's eyes, unaware of the world around them. They
were all alone, and she was in his arms, looking into his loving eyes.
...
Na Jaane Kyun, Hota Hai Yeh Zindagi Ke Saath
Achaanak Yeh Mann, Kisike Jaane Ke Baad
Kare Phir Uski Yaad Chhoti Chhoti Si Baat
Na Jaane Kyun ...
They forget everything and come closer. She puts her arms around his collar and he holds her around her waist. They remember the old days when they were so in love and would not let each other out of sight.😳
Jo Anjaan Pal, Dhal Gaye Kal, Aaj Woh
Rang Badal Badal, Mann Ko Machal Machal
Rahen Hai Chal, Na Jaane Kyun Woh Anjaan Pal
Saje Bhi Na Mere, Naino Mein
Toote Re Hai Re Sapno Ke Mahal
Na Jaane Kyun ...
Wohi Hai Dagar, Wohi Hai Safar
Hai Nahin Saath Mere Magar Ab Mera Humsafar
Idhar Udhar Dhoonde Nazar Wohi Hai Dagar
Kahan Gayi Shaamein, Madhbhari
Woh Mere, Mere Woh Din Gaye Kidhar
Na Jaane Kyun ...
The music stops and Geet realises she's let her feelings reign over her😲. She looks at him and runs out of there in tears. Maan too realises that he could not hide his true feelings beneath his anger. They came too close...They were like two magnets, meant to be together, however apart they tried to go...now after three years when they finally are near each other, it was completely impossible for them to stay apart. Maan and Geet were one, incomplete without one another, just like Shiv-Shakti, Ram-Sita...and they couldn't just ignore it for their egos sake.
Daadima looks on...She doesn't interfere or try to stop Geet. She knew ultimately it was they both who had to solve their differences. She can only pray and...
Plan!!!!
Scene 2:
"Mujhe bahut bura lag raha hai...Geet aur Maan Sir milke bhi nahi mile. Humein Geet ko sacchayi bata deni chahiye," says Pinki to Adi watching them from a distance.
"Nahi Pinki, humein Maan Sir aur Geet ke beech main nahi aana chahiye. Let them solve their misunderstanding by themselves. Hum kuch karenge toh misunderstandings aur badd jayengi."
"Parr Adi...kahin Maan Sir aur Geet phir door chale gaye toh?"
"Nahi, aisa nahi hoga...Main janta hoon woh dono ek doosre se kitna pyaar kartein hain. Unke issi pyaar ki vajah se unke beech main darrar aayi parr wohi pyaar ab inn dono ko milayega. Unhe yeh ekhsaas karayega ki Maan aur Geet ek doosre ke bina adhoore hain."
Scene 3:
"Guru...Guru...beta kahan ho aap?"
Geet is looking for Guru.
Meanwhile, Anjali, Rahul and Chillu are wondering where Geet and Guru have gone. Daadima comes into the scene and tells them...
"Anjali beta, lagta hai Geet Guru ko dhoondne gayi hai."
"Guru toh Maan uncle ke saath hai, Mamma main bhi jaoon kya unke paas," says Chillu.
"Nahi beta, bahut raat ho gayi hai. Humein ab chalna chahiye. Dadima kya aap Guru aur Geet ko bula denge?"
"Okay...ek minute...Mujhe lagta hai Guru ko thodi der Maan ke saath rehne dijiye...Woh dono ek doosre ke saath kitna ghul mil gaye hain, jaise koi gehra rishta ho," Dadima turns and wipes her tears then looks at them and smiles, "Anjali, main ek kaam karti hoon, Guru aur Geet ko dhoondh kar yehan ki gaadi main unhe ghar pahuncha doongi. Tum fikar mat karo."
"Theekh hai Daadima, aap Geet se keh dijiyega ki hum wapis ja chuke hain."
...
After they left, Dadima smiles and says,
"Ab dekhti hoon yeh dono kab tak apne dil ke feelings ko ek doosre se chipate hain?"😉
