PART 19
Maan:- you must be so happy ... Right ???
Geet(wasn't expecting that .. she got confused):- what??? What did I do???
Maan:- Its you, who asked dad to bring me here for the party.. Isn't it ???
Geet(looked down nervously):- wo... I .. I ...
Maan didn't let her speak and just went from there, taking out one of his sherwani's for the function.. saving Geet from his own anger..
Evening... party time...
Maan came down and saw the decorations round the main hall.. He sighed, and turned to His study.. when Yash stopped him..
yash:- Now that, you have agreed to come to the party.. try to participate in that as well... (Maan didn't reply) You can't ignore him Maan... see the happiness on his face ... Its all coz of the party which Geet is arranging ...and like I told you at least be happy for someone who is putting so much efforts...
Maan(nodded):- yeah... Hadn't you invited almost all of my clients here in this party and Had't you taken a promise from me to attend the party, I wouldn't have been here Dad... and you are doing so much for that girl and him.. can't believe it ...
yash:- Do , what ever you want to do... But don't spoil the party..
Maan nodded and went from there... Yash had him blackmailed, if the host wasn't present there in his own party, then guests were bound to quiz Yash.. and so Maan agreed as his Dad told him that he had invited the clients for MSK's birthday party...
Avi was so happy to see the celebrations set, just for him... Geet baked the cake by herself and it gave Avi happiness of the world ...
Dadi, yash , Dev and NT, were so happy seeing the little boy's joy... But Maan, here also kept himself aloof from everything ... Geet and rest of the family members surrounded the cake -placed on the table .. just as he was abt to cut the cake... yash asked Maan through his eyes to cut the cake with Avi...
Maan closed his eyes and sighing -not wanting to create any scene in front of guests-came forward-just next to Avi... That's only when he clearly looked at the cake baked by his so-called wife...
It had, his name also written in that ... along with Avi's ... He glared her once again, to which Geet only politely smiled ...Though, in his heart, he was happy that she did so much but he was not going to accept that...
Soon both father-son cut the cake and Avi made Maan eat the first bite.. Maan had to be patient and so he too took a cake piece and fed his son... everyone clapped ...
Dadimaa (had tears, she looked at Geet, ST ):- Just coz of this angel .. for the first time in these 5 yrs, I have seen both Maan and Avi that close with each other...
She thanked Geet through her teary eyes... Geet smiled and nodded ... Avi then made Geet eat the cake piece.. and then on influence from yash, Geet fed Maan... who already was glaring her... scaring her for the worst...
In all this happening Avi was the most happiest person out there... He now loved his mama even more.. who brought his papa to him and even made sure that he attended the party, cut the cake with him, and ate with him as well...
At night,
Geet avoided to even stand with Maan at the same place ... for, she knew he would just lash his anger out on her which he probably was controlling and holding back, throughout the party.. and by that time...Maan was too busy .. involved in his business that he forgot the little thing happened just few hrs back... Both slept ... Geet being relaxed as he was busy and Maan slept after completing a tiring work...
Next day evening .. KM
Maan was returning from office when he received a courier from the gate keeper... It was for Geet... He looked at the letter confused but then took that to hand over to Geet... Entering the room, he found Geet at one side of the room and went to her...
Maan(held out his hand towards her):- Here , there's a letter for you...
Geet(looked at the covering of the letter and gasped):- Tha... Thank you...
Taking the letter from his hands, her hands shook in nervousness... Maan watched her actions with great concentration, as to why she was shaking ... Geet took a long breath and opened the letter... she covered her mouth, reading the letter. .and after few moments... she shrieked in happiness... jumping, dancing around Maan... she forgot he still was there... Watching her in amusement...
Geet:- yipeee... wow... That's so good news ... yeyyy ... Am selected ...Am selected ... Am sle...
she stopped when she came face to face with Maan... Her smile vanished.. her dance stopped ... and she looked at him nervously..
Maan shook his head and went from there.. Geet released her breath... and again read the letter... she couldn't believe her eyes... Read the letter again and again... and smiled to herself like a fool... yes, she was going to fulfill her dreams... To be a Doctor now.. no, no, a Surgeon.. A great Surgeon...
By the time , she believed that her dream was going to be true.. Maan came out from rest room and now was heading down the stairs for the dinner... which she had forgotten in her excitement ... Geet, thought to tell him the news before she talks down stairs in front of whole family...So she hurriedly went after him...
Geet:- I want to tell you something...
Maan (turned and waited for her to cont):- Hmmm...
Geet(looked down coming close to him):- wo... before our marriage I had given entrance test for colleges of surgeon.. This letter(she showed him the envelope) is the confirmation that I have got through the tests and am selected.. (she waited for his Wishes but he didn't) umm.. I have to join my classes from day after tomorrow...can I ??? (she finished her say and waited for him to speak something ...If not greetings and wishes, then may be He could allow her to complete her studies)
Maan:- Oh !! (he was abt to give her rude reply.. but just his mind recalled how happily she was dancing a while ago reading the news ... unwillingly .. unknown to his own self, he didn't want to spoil her happy face) Ahh!! Congratulations ... (Geet looked at him in awe. ST:- He actually wished me???) I have no probs.. Go on...(she was abt to thank him when he spoke) just, inform others... I mean dad and dadimaa.. (she nodded) Am going down.. (Maan didn't wait for her response and went from here... Geet didn't mind much, as she was happy that He approved of, her studying)
At dinner table..
Geet kept looking at all the faces , thinking of ways to start the convo... Maan, though noticed her state of mind but didn't make any effort to ease her tension..
Maan (ST):- Dinner is a abt to finish and she hasn't even started yet..And soon heard her voice...
Geet:- I.. want to say something...
Maan looked at her and then looked at his plate... while rest of the family members looked at her .. waiting for her to say .. Avi was sitting beside Geet.. having dinner... oblivious of the talks which were abt to start..
Geet:- wo... I want to cont my studies... If you can permit me to ... then...I mean...(She hesitated and Yash helped her)
Yash:- what do you want to study???
Geet:- Medicals... umm.. I have got this letter with me ... (she took the letter from side, and handed that to yash... He wiped his hands and started to go through the letter)
Yash:- wow.. congrtz you are selected already.. (Geet smiled, looking down) Fine, go on..(He turned to Maan) Maan, what do you say???
Maan:- I have no issues...
Yash:- she told you abt it already ???(There was an amusement in his voice as he asked so)
Maan:- yeah !! just a while ago...
Yash then explained Dadi abt Geet's course.. and she too was happy for Geet...
Dev:- congrtz bhabhi...
Geet:- Thank you...(she smiled at Dev and then looked back at yash) Thanks for permission...
NT looked at her .. feeling angry at the love and care Geet received from the day one in KM.. she now started to envy her..Nevertheless, she too congratulated Geet...
Avi (got confused at the happenings):- what's going on???? Where are you going mama???
Geet (looked beside her chair, on which Avi was sitting, she smiled and took his hand in hers):- Am going to study.. like you too go to school hai naa??? (He nodded) and you know what, from now on-wards, I will drop you to your school and pick you up from there as well... then everyday we will go to ice-cream parlor and eat lots of chocolate ice creams there...
Avi:- wow.. we will enjoy lot...
Geet:- yes...
Yash once again adored the child girl and Avi's bonding... He so much liked that...
Eyeing Maan, Yash sighed as he was busy in eating, nothing mattered to him ... Yash shook his head at the rude son of his...
Precap:- Geet requesting Maan..
Yash angry at Geet...
