FANAA

LAST NAIL TO THE COFFIN

Abhimaan escorted Geetanjali out of the basement towards the open parking lot. Geetanjali pressed her lower lip in between her teeth.

Abhimaan lit his cigarette and asked "yeh tum ladki log apne guneh gar ko chod kyu dete ho? Hum unhe saza dena chahte hain aur tum log in the end sab rok dete ho.......aur hum jo bahar se sakht launde hain par in real tum logon ke isharon pe chalte hain......woh bhi mann lete hain. Tumne kaha inhe chodo dijiye mat mariye aur humne chod bhi diya"

Geetanjali smiled. Looking at the sky she replied "hmm shayad kyu ki aap ke alawa humara karibi koi nhi.......aur shayad hum unke nafrat ke chakkar mein aap logon ko khona nhi chahte"

Abhimaan could clearly understand that Geetanjali was hinting at Meera and her own family background. Moreover, a fool could also recognise what Abhimaan and Kartavya meant for both of them and vice versa.

Abhimaan chuckled while nodding his head positively, accepting Geetanjali's words.

"Zyada muskuraeye mat Abhimaan Bhai sa warna logon ko stroke aa jayega yeh dekh kar ki akhdu Mr.Rathore smile kar rahe hain" Geetanjali teased him

He pulled her nose and said "yeh Geetanjali hume bhati hai (pasand ati hai). Jo kuch bhi hua usse piche chod kar aage badho. Kivi loves you a lot"

"Kuch log abhagi (unfortunate) hote hain jinka parivaar nhi hota aur kuch log unse bhi zyada abhagi hote hain jinka parivaar hokar bhi nhi hota" Geetanjali said with disappointment

"Mujhe pata hai Geetu........... mujhse behtar yeh baat ko aur kon jan sakta hai. Meine aur Meera ne bhi yeh realise Kiya hai par saath hi saath yeh bhi samajh aya ki hum jinhe apne kehte hain woh humara parivaar ho yeh zaroori nhi, hume jo log apna mante hai woh actual mein humara parivaar hai" Abhimaan said

"Kya baatein chal rahi hai dono mein?" Kartavya asked coming near them while folding his sleeves

"Chal aab mein nikalta hun......Kivi will take care of you from here onwards" Abhimaan smiled at both and after hugging Kartavya he left for his home.

"All good?" Kartavya asked Geetanjali.

Geetanjali in reply kissed his cheek and nodded positively.

"Chalein?" Geetanjali asked

"After you" Kartavya followed Geetanjali inside the car.

AT CHAUHAN MANSION

"Yuvi tu aa gya?......badi late kardi baccha........chal mein khana lagwati hun tere liye" Ahalya said while caressing his face

"Apne khana kha liya?" Yuvraj asked with a small smile on his face

"Han dinner kar liya hum sabne ........itna wait kiya tera aur phir itni der bhi ho gyi thi toh kha liya sabke saath mil kar" Ahalya replied

"Achi baat hai ki aap sab ne khana kha liya hai......waise bhi mujhe aap sab se kuch baat karni hai" Yuvraj said while eyeing Mrityunjay and Digvijay, who were watching television in the living room

"Kya baat karni hai Yuvraj?" Digvijay asked

"Bade papa as the Chairman of CGC meine kuch faisla liya hai" Yuvraj said

"Yuvraj kaam ki baat baad mein pehle dinner kar le" Ahalya insisted

Yuvraj ignored Ahalya's plea for dinner and continued "as the chairman of CGC mein company ko bech (sell) raha hun. Aaj se do din baad CGC, Vencedor Inc company ke under ayega"

"Vencedor Inc? Yeh toh Kartavya ki company hai na?" Mrityunjay asked

"Ji papa"

"Par kyu Yuvraj? Company toh achi profit kama rahi hai phir company kyu bech na hai tumhe?" Digvijay asked
