SHOT 1
Around 6 PM
Maan arrogantly entered inside.Shouting on someone at phone he rushed toward stairs.
"Papa...Papa aap aa gaye ..." she tried to match her little steps with Maan's pace but how could a three years old.She cashed him..In a little hope..Maan stopped for a while near stairs because he was not able to hear properly the person other side.
Little heart was beating fast "Papa dekho na..Miss said its too beautiful and asked to show you too...dekho na " she tugged Maan's pants from behind with her tiny hand .Which diverted Maan's attention.
He was already furious and this annoying act by 3 years old made him more hyper.Instead of replying her or paying any attention to painting.He yelled out loud " Laxmi..Laxmi"
A lady seemed in her middle forties hurriedly reached there. Maan's spoiled mood shivered that lady life dry leaf ."Jjj Ji Ji Chote Saab " she stuttered..
"Kitni baar kaga hai ..jab main ghar aau..yeh ladki mujhe apne saamne nahi dikhni chaahea...fir " Maan gave Laxmi tongue lashing ..glaring her.
Lady was not able to match eyes with him " Saab aaap...aaj jaldi aa gaye na...aur main bhi baby k liye khana bana rahi thi...yeh kab room se bahar aayi patta he nahi challa " she gave reason fearfully..
"Huh...just take her away from my sight...agar fir hua na aise ...kab job se chuti hogi tumhari tumko patta bhi nahi chalega " he warned... Angrily looked at little girl who was in shock trying to hide herself behind Laxmi .He claimed up stairs and banged door.
Laxmi she was Nakul's(house keeping head at KM) widow sister.She was working as full time nanny for Maan's three year old daughter Meet.
Inside Room
He changed to his track pants and black vast.But his inner turmoil..struggle with own self every moment...never let him rest for a while. Resting hand over waist he was pacing inside room " 3 saal ho gaye ...3 saal ...her pal zindgi ek sazza lagti hai ...Yeh Maan Singh Khuraana kabhi aisa to nahi tha ..Kya haar raha hu aapne he aap se.." totally shattered he tried to analyze himself.But as always didn't get any answer.
Everyday he left in a hope never to come back. But his feet always dragged him toward KM every night.How could he go away from that place.Where he was born and brought up with his siblings...He lived life to fullest with his siblings and his Daddi Maa but today this house was non less than a hunting place only silence echoed every where.
Thinking this he dropped down to arm chair when memories of past again flashed like any reel in his mind.Everything how he could forget.
What happened ? :
After Pammi's goons attacked him .He survived some how but lost his one and half years memory.He couldn't memorize a single episod from this time span.
Even he had forgotten his soulmate..his life Geet who was in last stage of her pregnancy . It ruined every dream Geet wished to fulfil with him. After arrival of their child.
Doctor asked not to give stress to Maan otherwise outcomes could be ballistic .Maan could have nervous break down taking him to coma.Or could cost his life.
Three months back before Pammi'a episode.When Maan got severe injuries while coming back from honey moon.Then Dev saved Maan's life giving his blood.Some people were behind Dev from whom he lent lakhs ..They tried to kill him...Daddi Maa and Geet kept him in out house away from Maan's sight ..It was not easy for Geet but she did that to pay back what Dev did for her saving Maan.
However Maan came to know n in few days a line of misunderstanding drew between Maan and Geet's relation...He started to blame Geet that how she could forgive Dev ? It was better if he could have died instead of taking favour from Dev.
When he/Maan crossed every limit..Accusing her to be one Dev's side at the cost of their relation.It was not less than a cheating.How she could keep a soft corner for Dev ?
Maan hatred burnt every feeling,every emotion n the bonding they shared.. She left with no other option than leaving home.Untill Maan could realize his mistake she had gone away from his life .
When he discovered Geet was with her Massi at Amritsar.He did what ever he could to win trust...to bring back every emotion ,his love in Geet's heart...At last he succeeded.Not just Geet but he won every heart at her maternal side.
Till Pammi had ruined everything back in Delhi..In between Maan and Geet's struggle to get back what belonged to them KC...Pammi's goon attacked Maan ...Left Maan with severe head injuries .It affected Maan to the extent that he was unable to memorize his past for one and half years.
It was really hard to accept this fact for family especially for Daddi Maa and Geet. How ever Daddi Maa was in Maan's post memory loss life but there was no place for Geet in his life.His health forced all to be on knees to accept truth as such.
But how to keep Geet inside KM ...It was hard task for Daddi when Geet needed much care and attention being in lat stage of pregnancy.
Savitri Devi left no other option than to knit a story of own in front of Maan..introducing Geet as her friend's grand daughter who had no one in this world .
Her husband left her alone in this state.Even Daddi's friend was no more So Savitir Devi was just fulfilling her friend's last wish to take care of her pregnant grand daughter.Nandini and Lucky were staying in Out house as Annie's staff for her wedding planner firm.Nandini was taking care of that in absence of Annie.
Geet's presence in KM always disturbed Maan .He tried to avoid her.Even in her pregnancy she was fulfilling her duties toward Maan as much as she could.From his cloths to his food. Tried to be friendly with him.In a hope he would remember something.But no effect..
She was unbearable for him now but still kept mum for Daddi's sake and her promise to her friend.
Geet gave birth to beautiful baby girl and she named her Meet as Maan and Geet had already chosen name months back.In those beautiful days when they were waiting for their child eagerly...When Maan had accepted Geet's baby as own from heart , mind and soul. How happy they were. Destiny ruined the most awaited day ...most special day of their life.A tiny life was waiting for her father's touch which she never got. Life was moving at own pace.Meet was now three months old .
When ever Maan saw that little cotton boll...a beautiful cute dool.Who had started to respond who ever tried to talk to her..His heart craved to fill her in his arms .But he never accepted it from his mind.He tried to ignore.
One day...
Maan kept his important meeting at home as Daddi was not feeling well. Everything was ready for the presentation ..Addi ,Pinky,Romeo, Dev and few other staff was there in meeting...Maan opened file in front of him. What was there in file instead of project details . Few photographs from their weeding...some documents.
Suddenly instead of project plan what was there on presentation screen .Maan Geet's wedding pictures .Everyone jumped up from seats and rooted to the spot .Grabbing file tightly in one hand Maan gazed at screen without a blink..Totally num.All waited for his response.He rushed out of meeting venue and reached KM living area where Geet and Daddi were buzy in conversation.
" Geet " he shrieked out with anger " Tum itni niche gir sakti ho maine socha nahi tha... itni zaleel aurat maine aaj take nahi dekhi " he blowed up at Geet throwing photos in front of her.
Daddi n Geet looked at him in surprised silence.Then wedding photographs in front of them made their blood run cold.Tongue tied both ladies gazed him.
"Maan !! aapni had main rahea..Kya bakwaas kar rahe hai aap.jaante hai aap ?" Daddi gathered her and warned him.
"Daddi Maa ! yeh ..yeh saab aapke saamne hai..yeh nakli photographs banaa kar mujhe blackmail karna chaahti hai..kuch paison k liye... taaki yeh apna aur apni us bachi ki zindgi behtar kar sakke..mujhe badnaam karke " he kept on accusing her...Geet standing still like statue just listened to him .Streaks of tears marked her cheeks.How hurt she was no one could undertand.
" Bro chup ho jaaea..aapko koi haq nahi banta aap Geet ki aise insult karre. Don cross you limit " Dev roared who chased him there.
Maan turned around " Dev,Daddi Maa aap mere apne ho kar..is ko theek keh rahe hai ..isne mere saath yeh kiya...shayad iska pati bhi iski inhi harkaton(doings) ki waja se isko chod kar challa gaya..." Maan tried to justified himself..
"Shut up Maan..jo muh main aa raha hai bake jaa rahe hai..jo saamne hai wahi sach hai " Much annoyed Daddi stopped him to cross limit.
" Yes Bro ,this is the fact Geet is your wife ..mother of your child...and these photographs these are not fake.Yeh aapki wedding photo graphs hai " Dev tried to make him understand but he was not willing to listen "My wife, my child ,I think Dev you have forgotten basic mathematics too. Look at this fake certificate..look " he placed a certificate on Dev's hand . It was his marriage certificate "According to which we are married from last nine months and her daughter was born after six months of marriage,so now she is three months old.." He was on his words for which Dev had nothing to say ..how he could tell Maan what had happened .
Then Maan showed same copy to Daddi " Dekhiye isse...I can't bear her for a moment then how could this be possible to share bed with her ..With her who has no class...no where matches with me ..Maan Singh Khuraana " he denied to accept the fact.
Daddi was helpless,had no words,how to tell hi what happened ?...How happened..What Dev did ? ..to that time when both of them forgave him to move on in life.
Dev stood dumb..how could he describe his shameful act ? How could he loose his brother on him Maan trust more than any one else
" Chup kyon hai aap dono...iska matlab aapko bhi nahi patta tha yeh sabh ...is certificate aur photographs k baare...otherwise Daddi bhi yeh bardaashat nahi karti." he continued to target her.
It was unbearable for Geet to stand there.Still she was there to find to what extent Maan could stoop so low.She was culprit at this time waiting for charges and then final outcome.
"Its disgusting Bro...you don have any trust one me.If Daddi is silent it doesn't mean she believes Geet is guilty.Instead she was hurt.What is her fault if you have lost your 1 and half years of memory " Dev dared to match eyes with him.To be firm on his words.
" Yeh ho nahi sakta...Its not possible..Kyo tum iski itni tarfdari kar rahe ho..Kya lagti hai yeh tumhari ? Kahi meri tarah isne tumko to apne jaal main to nahi fassa liya ? I think its her business.She just pretend to be a wedded.Kiska paap lekar yeh ghum rahi hai." Maan was not ready to here him.
Geet was not able to tolerate any more.She had self respect.She was innocent. Yes it was a fact Maan lost his memory .Geet existed nowhere in his life.Still she was living with a hope.Some day he would accept him.But Maan's accusations shattered her to pieces.
"How could I tell you bro who is culprit ?.But for Geet's dignity ,her innocence. I can't bear more." Dev felt deep grief and guilt .At last he made decision to tell him everything.
Before Dev could tell him.NT marked her entry with a victorious smile. Like she had won a big battle."Veer Ji hum bataate hai yeh paap kiska hai " she yelled standing at entrance to KM.
"Naintara" she gained everyone's attention.Dev took not a second to judge who was behind all this " Naintara tum yahan kya kar rahi ho..? Aur tum coma se baahar kaab aayi..." shocked to extent Dev grabbed her wrist and dragged her toward door.
" Dev rukk jaao...tum pagal to nahi ho gaye..Us zaleel ladki ko yahan se nikaal-ne ki jagah tum apni bibi k saath aisa slook (behave) kar rahe ho " Maan seethed with anger.
"Aur agar wo sach jaanti hai , to main bhi to sunnu yeh chakkar kya hai "Dev's behaviour irked Maan ...NT freed herself from Dev's clutch. She rushed toward Maan in hurry so that she call tell whole truth before Dev could stop her..
"Veer Ji,yeh sab isliye chup hai kyoni yeh sabh sach jaante hai...Geet n Dev had illegitimate relations.He cheated on me...Her child is outcome of that relation " she dropped bombshell on everyone.Which no one expected.
"Naintara...chup ho jaayo warna " Daddi blown up..
"Warna kya Daddi Maa...? Dev k gunah chupa rahi hai aap...taaki aapke khaandan ki izzat mitti main na mil jaaye...taaki Veer Ji ko patta na chale k kya julm kiye hai dev ne hamare uper..." she wept crocodile tears
"Kya keh rahi ho tum Naintara...tum Dev per ilzaam laga rahi ho ..mere bhai per.." revelation might be bitter but how could Maan let NT blame his younger brother.
"Yahi sach hai Veer Ji..Dev k illegitimate relations they Geet k saath.. Aur shayad aab bhi ho..Wo pregnant ho gayi...She was forcing Dev to divorce me..But when I denied she started to blackmail Daddi on the name of family's reputation." Daddi n Dev's eyes were on stalks.How this witch was hypnotising Maan.
"Naintara tum Geet ko doshi keh rahi hi...jab ki Geet ki zindgi barbaad karne main tum ne koi kasar nahi chodi...Apna saara dosh hum per laga rahi ho...tum to ek aurat keh-lane k layak bhi nahi.."a sudden slap echoed whole house.Which Dev gave to NT.
"Dev !! apni bibi per hath utha rahe ho..iska matlab NainTara sach keh rahi hai... bollo...tum usko sach bolne se rokna chaate ho.Aur meri lost memory ka fiada lekar apne gunah chipa rahe ho " Maan throw toys out of the pram grabbing Dev from collars.
"Bro please listen to me first..." he tried to free himself but failed.
"Veer Ji ..fir Daddi ne apni bimaari ka bahana karke aapko mazboor kar diya is ladki se shaddi ko..humme ghar se nikaal diya...jab humne us ladki se apne suhaag ko bheek maangi usne humme uper se dhaka de diya...I was in coma from months..."she sobbed..
"Naintara bas aur nahi ...I can't bear Dev any more..It is against my morality..Just leave from my house Dev...also take that cheep woman with her.." Maan pushed Dev hard.
" Dev !! Daddi Maa !!..." Nandini dashed in living area calling their names much panicked "Geet Didi...gahr chod kar challi gayi per Meet ko saath nahi le kar gayi.."
Ignoring what Maan did Dev paid attention at Nandini.Daddi couldn't bear sudden jolt and she fainted on floor.She had major heart attack.Even than Maan kicked Dev out of home blaming him for this.
Nandini was looking after little girl.She could not take Meet with her to Amritsar as Geet's wish .According to letter she wrote for Maan .His whole attention was toward Daddi..Doctor advised him to keep Savitri Devi in hospital even after one week.
In between all this when Maan found Geet's letter beneath his laptop which Maan hadn't touched for one week .So it was not visible to him.
"Maan,
Jab tak yeh letter aapko milega..main bahut dur challi jaungi aapki zindgi se..
Kyonki main aapko dukh mahi dekh sakti..Nahi dekh sakti aapko apne rishto se dur hote hue..Ek vishwaas (hope) tha k aapke pass reh kar...Apne Pyar se ..Baba Ji per apne yakeen se ...Aapko dheere dheere ( slowly and steadily ) yeh yakeen dilwaa dungi k hum sach main ek dujhe k liye banne hai...Hamara pyar kitna sacha hai ...paak hai..
Ek yakeen tha k jab hamara bacha is duniya main aayega.Uski masumi-yat (innocence) ..ek pita (father ) k soye ehsaas ( feelings) jaga degi..Per aapne toh is masoom zindgi ko paap ka naam de kar meri har umeed tod de hai...Jisne kahi na kahi hume ek rishte main bandha tha..
Ek Maa k liye apne bache se dur hona maut k baraabar hai.Aur majhe wo manzoor hai .. Maar to mujhe aapne he diya hai zaleel karke...
Meet ko chod kar jaa rahi hu aapke pass..Is yakeen k saath k kissi naa kissi din hamari bachi he aapka...hamare rishte per yakeen waapis le kar aaegi..Aur waise bhi yeh aapki amaanat hai..Main Mere Maan per na sahi...per Maan Singh Khuraana per itna yakeen to kar he sakti hu k wo is nanhi se zindgi per insaan-iyat (humanity ) dikhaye..."
Issi Yakeen k saath main intzaar karugi ...saari zindgi..
Aapki Geet
Maan torn that letter to pieces .He was burning in agony.
