(YES..HE LOVES SOMEONE ELSE...HE LOVES "PARI")

Tears shed down her eyes remembering that day when he had taken her name in his drunken unconsciousness just a day before leaving for his long business trip to London and that was a month ago.

(A mini flashback... showing both Geet and Maan's point of views)

There was a lavish party arranged by all business partners before Maan was leaving on his long business trip to london and by the time he reached home, it was nearly 1 AM. This was the rarest of the events where he got drunk to the level he got unconscious.

Seeing his condition, his driver and the security guy decides to call Geet on her intercom extension and they inform her about Maan's condition...

security: Ma'm...myself and saab's driver can support him to walk but we are worried that we cant help in taking him to his room which is in the first floor of the mansion. What to do?

Geet: (You please get him to the outhouse)

Geet is going restless...she knows Maan is a social drinker. but what happened today? Outhouse will be the right option as she doesnt want Daadi to know about all this.. She rushes to the Outhouse where she stands still for a moment seeing maan's condition and the security and the driver are holding and supporting him on either side or else he will collapse down.

At outhouse, Geet switches on the lights and table lamps and sets the bed quickly and Maan is allowed to rest on the bed and she requests both driver and the security guys to leave from the place.

Geet helps in removing Maan's shoes and socks, and covers him with a duvet and she happen to accidentally brush her hand on Maan's broad chest and he holds Geet's hand with a tight grip...and Geet is terrified with this act...and she tries to come out of his hard grip but fails. He slowly blink opens his eyes whilst in his unconscious state but he could see his pari's (Geet's) face clearly as she is standing close to the table lamp that's near the cot.

At the same time, Geet gets nervous to see him looking at her like that...as she is strictly following his rules to not to cross his parth but today, she is forced to do so.

(Author Note: Before going further, would like to clarify that Maan is talking to GEET who is actually his PARI...did you all get it? 😉)

Maan:

Maan talks slowly but clearly...and Geet is really not able to understand...is he really referring to her?

Geet: (listen to me)

he doesn't care.. and he continues his talk looking at her innocent vibrant face...whilst holding on to her hand with his grip

Maan:

Geet is really amused to hear him talk like this. She looks at herself and YES...she is wearing a purple colour dress now...an innocent blush touches her lips with what he says...but still she has to maintain her cautiousness.

He strengthens his hold on her hand and he is all staring at Geet (His PARI) ...And Geet is really getting tensed now as she knows he hates her mere presence and can never accept her to be around him...then what happened to him now...

Geet:

Maan: (You have troubled me a lot and I will not allow you to leave me and go this time)

For a second, Geet melts and feels for him assuming all what he is talking is for her.. This is the first time she gets to see deep into his eyes and that too its all glittering with emotions and without her knowledge , a tear drops from her eyes.. Now, She innocently try to answer his questions..

Geet: (Did I really? I have been..)she gulps...(Im near you only)

He is still having his strong hold on her hand and Geet caress his forehead gently with her other hand in order to calm him down and he closes his eyes to feel her touch. But what she hears further literally shooks her up.

Maan:

Geet misses a heartbeat hearing some other girl's name from his lips... unknown to her that he is referring to her only...

Geet:

Maan: (Yes...you are my angel...only mine...my Angel)

Geet self talk: (Oh my God, Who is this PARI? Daadima and Shantima have never ever told me about her?)

Maan is still holding her hand with a strong grip...and murmuring... (You...are mine...only mine)Geet waits patiently for sometime till he calms down and drifts into a sleep and she manages to slowly escape from his grip.

And from this moment, a new confusion adds to her mind...

She turns to look at Maan for one time with her teary eyes ...He had so much love reflecting in his eyes but it was for someone else...She sighs and leaves from the room

Next morning, maan opens his eyes with a heavy head and he scans the place. It took him a while to realise he is actually not in his room but in his outhouse...

Maan self talk: I really got drunk yesterday...maybe the driver helped in shifting me here..he gets some flashes of all what had happened in the night...he remembers seeing his PARI... He remembers she was wearing some purplish colour dress and her face was glowing under the table lamp...And above all, his hold on her hand..and she brushes her hand over his forehead and does not recall what happened after that.

He again searches everywhere in the outhouse and then his head is really heavy that makes him realize that it must be a dream for sure...but it was all so very real. Maan holds his head to calm the heaviness...

Maan just helps himself with a glass of warm lemon water to reduce his heaviness on his head and he doesn't give any serious thought about the questions that his mind is raising for the previous day's events as he has to arrange lot of things before going on a long business tour today.

Maan leaves on his business trip. Geet is all lost in the previous day's event. He looked straight into her eyes hold her hand for the very first time thinking she is some PARI. Now who is this PARI? In contrary to yesterday evening, today, he didnt even care to say a Goodbye to her...he has never ever done that and this time she is feeling the pinch stronger as he is going on a long trip . By now, Geet has somehow got used to his absence but, this time its going to be for a month. She used to crave for his one look and would never miss to have one glimpse of him during morning when he leaves to office and evening hours when he comes back apart from the days he is on business trips...but that now, its going to be for one long month now...And all this is not enough and a new fury is added to her plight in name of PARI. She did tried to find out from Daadi, Shantima and Nakul whilst creating a fun filled atmosphere...

Geet:

They all look at each other smiling within, expecting another kiddish creativity from her side..

Geet:

They all giggle and Daadi too smiles at another silly question of hers. Geet could sense they dont look tensed hearing the name PARI and that indicates they don't know anything about her. But still she continues the questioning session in a fun filled way

Daadi: (Who is this Pari?)

Geet: (That's what even I want to ask you) and she cutely tells this with all actions and big big eyes... (Have you people ever got to see Pari? Or have you ever heard of her?)

Daadi and all the servants around starts gigling ...

Daadi: (Infact, I am seeing and listening)

Everyone is laughing while Geet is all lost and not able to follow her...while Daadi pulls Geet's cheeks..

Daadi: (My PARI i.e my angel is right in front of me. and we are never tired of listening to her long talks)

Geet: (Daadima...please stop making fun) and she makes a cute baby face..

Daadi:

Geet hands over a big bar of chocolate (Gift) to Daadi making an angry baby face and she looks at Daadi from corner of her eyes...and enjoys looking at her relishing the chocolate like a kid without sharing it with people around and without even caring for her own health condition...

Another fun filled atmosphere which clearly answers her that nobody knows anything about the PARI whom Maan is in love with...Again, Geet is sad at heart..She too really wish that PARI is a fictitious character but the way Maan narrated to her about PARI...it seems so true that PARI is in real and Maan is in love with her.

(Flashback Ends)

__________

Back to Gurudwarah ... A smile touches Geet's face remembering some of the sweet memories of the past one year...and all contributed by Daadi, Shantima, Nakul kaka and all others...and she comes to think about Maan...she really goes blank and a kind of emptiness fills in her.

PRECAP: And they meet 😮😵😉
