Chapter 4
" Teji Daddi is right ...no place is safer for her except Khuraana Mension your absence." Maan second Daddi to assure Teji.
Still Teji was in dilemma whether to leave his sister alone away from family. Which Daddi judged from his eyes " Teji betay kai baar apno se gair (outsiders) jayada bhrose (faithful) k kaabil hote hai." she tried to comfort him.
"Nahi..its nothing like that ..but I am still in doubt ...k Geet ko akela chod (leave) k jaana theek hai k nahi " He put his inner turmoil in front of them..
" Have faith in Daddi..Teji...Wo Geet ko khronch (scratch) bhi nahi aane degi.. and our housekeeping staff ..all of them are very loyal..working in KM from years.. Even you can trust on them completely " repeatedly Maan was trying to calm Teji down...to trust on them.
" Theek hai Maan..But it gonna be a really tough task to handle her... after not finding me in front she will turn whole hospital upside down..I have to leave without letting her know .." He was helpless as his flight was in short while and He couldn't meet her..otherwise Geet didn't let him go.
"Don't worry Beta..hum hai na...yeh inko handle kar rahe hai...Geet wo to hai he ek masoom se bachi..I know it will be bit difficult to make her understand but I will do it..You go now...without any worry" Daddi's warm gesture brought smile on his face. He nodded his head ..Touching her feet and hugging Maan he left to catch flight...
Suddenly Maan's phone buzzed Addi was on other side .What he said that Maan's blood started to boil ..his face turned red.."You fool without notifying me you cancelled my trip ...Aab dekho kaya haal karta hu tumhaara.." he blasted over Addi...
" Ji Ji Sir mera band bajega aab...I knew that but what could I do ? You were not picking phone and suddenly our clients left for US due to any urgent work... Me just left with this option..." shivering he replied...
Maan he was like this a hard core tough businessman...While he had heart of gold.. With lots of love for family and Addi too especially..He always pretended to be strict ...
"Okey what happened...let it be...aagay se aisa hua fir jaroor band bajaa dunga ..got it..." Saying this he cut phone...
Daddi nodded her head listening to their conversation " Its their daily routine But can't take a step without each other..." she giggled..." its good for me too...Addi did that what I wanted..god job Addi.." Daddi mumbled..
"You said something ? Haina haina.." Maan turned to Daddi..gave tough look...
"No no nothing...I m just thinking about Geet.." stuttering she said...
"But you actions are telling some other story. Aab to aap bahut kush hongi na. it happened what you wanted...My trip got cancelled " Maan shrunk his brows taunting Daddi...
" Why you are taunting me..hu...Like I cancelled your trip..What is my fault ?" Daddi regretted pretending like his words hurt her most...
" Daddi please don't start again...Apka drama puraana ho gaya hai...just find any new excuse..." Maan laughed putting arms around her waist..
Before Daddi could respond him back nurse came out with a news about Geet. She was fully conscious now and was getting impatient not finding Teji around...
"Don't worry nurse we will handle " Daddi replied and got inside Geet's room. Maan followed her but she resisted him to be in...And to wait outside due to Geet's condition.She could be hyper finding a male in front...
What joke destiny played with this innocent girl laying on bed in front of Savitri Devi..Totally pale..she was on drip to keeping her alive...Daddi reached near to her bed " Geet kaise ho beta aap.." brushing her hair lovingly Daddi asked.
Amazed Geet gazed her without blink...Who was she calling her Beta ? No one called her so before.Behaving with her so politely and lovingly..." Aap kon ho...aur mera bhai...mera bhai wo kahan hai..." Her eyes searched for her brother . She was going out of control as expected..Geet jerked her hand from head.
"Geet look at me beta..I am Teji's best friend's Daddi...Fir apki bhi Daddi hue na..Hum aapse milne aaye hai..Per aap to is budhi ko dhakaa de rahi hai...If I had got fracture ..no one is there to look after me.. " Daddi played trick now to calm her down..Wiping her false tears...
Geet looked at her...Trying to observe Daddi's true intentions and as always Daddi won..What ever trick she usually played on Maan that worked here too... " Really you came to meet me...Aap good ho na..will you behave nicely to me...? " innocently Geet questioned
" Why ll I behave bad ? With such a cute child like you..." Daddi petted her cheek and placed a soft kiss over her forehead.Her such gesture now completely assured Geet that Daddi was a nice and very kind to her.
" I am sorry for what I did...But but where is my bhai...?" she again asked for her brother...
Daddi somehow calmed impatient girl but it was hard task to reveal Teji's departure ...
" Actually Geet betay..Teji had to leave urgently for England...he gave your whole responsibility to me..Aap hamare sath rahogay jab takk wo aa nahi jaate..." Daddi at last gave blasting news to Geet..
She was shivering in fear rolled her body like a bundle...
" Geet betay aaise nahi darte..You are safe..Aur ha If you want I will arrange women security staff for you at our residence...What you say ? " Daddi was trying her best that Geet could trust her...
She peeped raising her arm little underneath which she had hidden her face... That kind lady still was in wait for her reaction.
Fearful she raised herself up in sitting position which stretched her drip tubing but Daddi held her from falling...Every action of Daddi was raising Geet's trust in her..." Nahi its okey I don't need security ..I know wo piche piche rehte hai... never leave a private moment for that man for whom they work..I saw on TV ..how security remain behind famous people..." She made cute baby face..denying security offer given by Daddi.
Daddi laughed " Oh so this is the matter...Okey wo plan cancel...but you gonna stay with me ? bollo...rahogi na aap hamare saath " she said..
" Okey I will...but aap mere pass he rahogi na...bollo..?" In childish gesture Geet stamped to be with her.
" Yes of course beta...always...so its done you gonna stay in Khuraana Mension I mean our house...its name of our house.." cherish Daddi promised girl .
Next moment Daddi heard a knock at door...Geet again tried to hide her face in her folded knees...
" Geet don't be scared Beta...I am here with you..Hum dekhte hai kon hai...?" Daddi's assurance bring her back to normal little bit...
" Who's there...? " Daddi asked going near to door.
" Main he hu..fikar not Daddi..." Maan peeped through little slit left after she didn't close door proper.
" Maan..you can't change ! What I told you not to chase me...fir bhi aap.."
Daddi got angry on him..keeping her tone very low " Wo darr jaaegi.. finding a man here..."
"Daddi kya main devil lagta hu...? " Maan teased...
"Just shut up Maan..presently her mental condition is not good...let her feel bit better.." Daddi said bit angrily..
" Daddi let me come in..I want to meet P.T. Usha's sister...My trip had been cancelled due to that duffer..." First due to Addi's blunder and now by Daddi's resistance...now Maan turned to these stupid acts as expected by Daddi... ...
He continued " Daddi its obvious we have to stay in same house ..Due to this insane aap mujhe ghar se nikaal to dengi nahi ..I can trust you this much " he winked
" Maan stay in limit " Daddi pulled his cheek...
He screamed " Ouchh Daddi...chodo...chodo...I was saying that we will clash somewhere at home ..I think its better she gets a shock by seeing a man in front here instead of house..Yahan isko Dr. handle kar lengay" he gave his hilarious explanation to Daddi ..
Before Daddi could react him back he pushed the door open and marked the ballistic presence in front of Geet.
" No no...go away...go away..." Geet she threw pillow on Maan which he caught instantly..
"Oh oh ..I think instead of P.T. Usha she is Mary Kom's sister more...She is on bed still this much power packed performance..." Maan thought and even tough she had protesting behaviour..He went close to her...
"Chup ek dum chup..." he grabbed her hand and put on her own lips..."First of all I am with her..." He signed toward Daddi turing face toward her.When he had already stormed inside so Daddi left with one option .To introduce Maan properly.So that she could feel comfortable..
"Geet betay ..He is the one ...your brother's best friend Maan..I am his Daddi.. . He is a very good boy.." Daddi praised him with his proper introduction even she was annoyed with Maan still.
"Yes I am a very good boy..per ha ziddi bachon k liye strict teacher bhi hu... and now you also turn to be a good girl..." His such warm gesture reflecting through words but hardcore action puzzled her...Still she was staring him without blink...
He waved hand in front of her then she came back to reality and felt he was holding her hand tightly.." uuu..uhhh"
" Maan...why are you pressing her own hand over her mouth...leave it.." Daddi freed Geet's hand from his grip...
" Mere Bhai k friend...Daddi k Pote...both are so nice but you seem.. you seem DD..." Maan his actions may be bit odd but Geet she was feeling comfortable..As she got to know who he was...
"DD...? " surprised Daddi repeated..
"Ji Daddi...Akal se Dushat lagtay hai...aur Shalal se Daanav...DD ?" With this revelation Daddi as well Geet blasted in laughter...
Maan he had no place to go...no way to react back ...fuming Maan pulled his own hair ...Glaring he gave tough look to Geet...which she caught...
" Daddi ...Daddi dekho kaise dekh rahe hai...you promised me na you will stay with me...and will do all things in favour of me..." Geet held Daddi's arm tightly...
"Of course beta...aur rahi inki baat...inke tang torrh dengay hum (break his leg) agar aako kuch kahan inhone to...and you also keep this in mind Maan..." Daddi assured Geet hugging her tightly and winked at Maan...
Maan eyes popped out...How Daddi could play two characters in one scene ? ... He nodded his head.." Ji Daddi ...I got it..." smile spread over his perfect M shaped lips..
Ultimately Daddi and Maan successfully brought change in her..in her thinking ..so that she could trust them...and feel like home...Her remarkable recovery in just three day surprised Doctor too and he permitted to take Geet with them.
This warm welcome in Khuraana Mension was for her ? She could have never imagined even in her thoughts...Maan and Daddi were with her but housekeeping staff treated her like little kiddo...
It was hard for a girl who suffered such molestation to come out it that trauma such easily...When Addi came next morning she ran away to her room leaving breakfast table.
Maan chased her back to room where she was laying on bed hiding her face in pillow...
"Geet ...Geet...!!! " Maan called her name twice but got no response from her..
"Geet I said get up...bahar challo mere saath..." he pulled her arm back holding her one wrist tightly...Which jerked her whole body...
"Nahi...nahi jaana mujhe...that man...that man...who is outside...He scared me...uski gadhe (donkey ) jaise hassi (laughter) se mujhe darr lagta hai..." She denied to go..answering him back in same posture..
" You duffer he is Addi...KC General Manager...Its his habit from childhood.. But how decent he is you know ? He is such a nice man ...even you can trust him more than me...He is mine best friend too.." Maan described Addi in such manner it really affected Geet...
She slide herself up and sat totally mum on bed...Maan was observing her closely folding both arms patiently...
" So what you have decided ?" Smilingly he said
" He is really a good man ?" she looked straight in his eyes...
" He is...abhi to maine bataa diya tumhe ...that he is a nice man...but what if no one is around you...huh then what Geet...what will you do ?... you can't lock yourself in such a small room..." Maan sat next to her on bed...
" Kyo...kyo aap nahi hongay...to tell me...bollo...Daddi nahi hongi...Teji Veerji Kya aap sabh nahi hongay..? Geet ko gande logon (bad people) se bachane (to save ) ko...bollo bolte kyo nahi...? " She came on her knees and grabbed Maan from collar...
"Ha...hum hongay...aur sabse pehle tum mujhe paaogi...per tumko jeena hai Geet...you have to tell this world that you have your own identity...and no one has right to snatch your true self from you..One thing more whole world is not bad.." He grabbed her face in his hands..
" Tell me DD...?" she made innocent face with lots of expectations in her eyes...
Her this gesture always brought a smile on his face " Ha bollo ..what u want to ask ?"
" Every one say I am a mad girl...really I am mad ? " She encircled arms around his neck...This was enough to guess how much trust she had now in this man.That in his arms she felt safer than whole world...
" Let me tell you one thing...don't think about anyone ...Do whatever you want to do...Count what positive aspects do you have ..I am sure that will be more than negative ones..." Tucking her hair back of ear he said...
She was recovering day by day still hadn't have proper mental stability.. Sometimes she couldn't get what Daddi or Maan wanted to tell her..." Positive aspects...? "
Maan almost hit his head " I mean count your hobbies..what you like ? what you can do..? .Do one thing ..I gonna give you pen and paper usper likho..." He got solution to divert her mind...
"Theek hai..per challo pehle us ghadae ( donkey) se milna hai na !" she pouted lips ...
"Chup bilkul chup wo sirf mera ghadha hai..." he put finger on her lips ...next moment whole room echoed with their laughter...
