PHCS – Part 51(Last Chapter)

Now Geet was pregnant and was carrying the powerful love baby. Their victory can only come to halt if this love baby was stopped from coming into life. Maan and Geet had gained so much power by their love along with the unlimited blessings on them from the white world that it was near impossible that any hurdle by dark energy would work. But between all this the Dark energy found negativity in the form of Mrs. D’Souza. They found strong potential in her. She can be used to stop the coming of the love baby in this world.

If the love baby comes into this world, all the negativity around Maan and Geet will disappear like magic and all their lost relationship will get back to normal. So the dark world has this last chance to stop the winning streak of the white world in the form of Maan and Geet. 

*********

Maan had been deeply engrossed in setting up Geetaanjali Enterprise. 

He has had deep discussion with his creative team about naming his new venture. He was determined  to keep it far from Khurana Enterprise. He didn’t approve of the tag of Khurana Enterprise influencing his Ventures. if he wasn’t working for his family, he had to break away completely. More than that, he had left his family for Geet, vowing to restore the pride they had tried to strip from her. With that resolve, he and his team decided on the name—Geetanjali. 

When Geet found out, she was adamant that Maan’s name had to be part of the company’s identity. So, the name was modified, and the final decision was Geetaanjali.

While Maan had been busy with his work, Geet found her own way to engage herself. Maan offered her to join his office as well, if she wishes. He didn’t want to stop her from doing anything for pregnancy. But Geet wanted to enjoy her pregnancy and wanted to engage herself in things like decorating her house, getting to know the people around her and spending her gossiping time with her friend Pinky. 

She made Pinky join her interior decorator team. Now both friends had fun with work and unstoppable gossiping.

The garden and house was redesigned and now had complete Geet’s vibe. Maan came late or early, the entry into the Manor now brought a smile on his face. It felt so much home. Even if she was in the room, the entry into the house itself gave him the feeling of her existence. 

*******

Geet stood in front of the mirror, her hands gently caressing her full-grown belly, a soft smile gracing her lips. As she caught sight of Maan behind her, warmth filled her heart. He wrapped his arms around her, his hands tenderly resting on her belly as he pressed close from behind. Their eyes met in the mirror, a silent conversation passing between them. Maan placed a gentle kiss on her cheek, then trailed another to her shoulder, then smoothly turned her toward him.

“I am sorry” he said, softly bringing her closer to him, though her belly made the gap

“Sorry?” 

“Keeping you away from your family during this period.”

“You don’t have to. I accept your decision and respect it, Maan. You have done this all for me. You left your family for me, for my mistake. I am the reason for separating you from your family”

Maan pulled her cheek, which has gone bit chubby as effect of pregnancy

“You were fooled, emotionally blackmailed and you were too naive. You did something that your heart was against and you hurt yourself. They hit your identity and truth. There’s a big difference.”

“Maan, we decided to not discuss on it”

“I know, but separating you from your family as part of this, I feel bad. Why does your family have to suffer?”

“My family knows that I am with a man who will take care of me in the best way and they know that you are going to compensate for the missed love in ten X ways. They will be good. But I do not want to meet my family till you meet yours. I want to live your pain.”

Maan kissed her forehead. Geet cupped his face

“Maan, we are here to make our establishment in a whole new way. Our life, our rules. If we are happy, then mine and your family, even if far away from us, will be happy”

“How was your day?” he asked, changing the topic. 

“ufff .. your baby troubled me a lot today. She hit me everywhere, every now and then. But this trouble  only fills my heart with joy. Other than that, I have my days full – My yoga sessions, My time with interior decorators, then my time with landscaping team and later my new family here – they are just fun. During My remaining time, I read a few books for babies and then took a nap. Made plans with Pinky for a girls day out tomorrow.”

She kept detailing about her day as her hands were on work – she got his suit off him and hung it in the closet, then unbuttoned his shorts and got his change of clothes.

“In short – you were too busy to miss me the whole day” Maan complained listening to her detailed summary of the day as he took the change of clothes from her.

Geet placed a soft kiss on his cheeks and pushed him towards the washroom “Go and get fresh. I have missed someone the whole day”

“Okay ma’am. Be right there to serve you” he teased back. She threw a pillow on him but he saved himself by closing the door before it reached him.

Later they cozied in the bed, inside the quilt, in the arms of each other as Geet put on Tom and Jerry. 

“Noo… not again”

“Maan, this is good. It is fun-filled. It will give our baby a happy sleep mood”

“Don’t you have a whole day to keep your baby happy with such cartoons. I don’t want to sacrifice my romance time. Baby is not allowed to take this time of yours. It’s only mine”

Geet looked up at him and sensually caressed his cheeks from the back of her palm “Who is stopping you from being romantic? You super sexy wife is in your arms”

“Really? Wow!! What a romantic setup accompanied by a high-speed cartoon chase in the background” he teased her

“Okay. baby, we will watch tomorrow” she made faces and she took the remote to switch off but Maan took it from her and pulled her closer to him, tugging her completely to him.

“I was just kidding. My sexy wife who has turned damn hot as her pregnancy has hit the eighth month. Nothing around me can dilute your effect on me.” 

As Geet’s discomfort in sitting and laying increased in the eighth month, Maan had his ways to keep her engaged in such fun-filled light talks , sometimes a little romantic, to keep her distracted from her discomfort. They would talk for hours until sleep finally claimed her, often with her head resting on his shoulder—just the way she loved it. Away from family, she was trying to build one here with the people at the manor, keeping herself busy and cheerful. But Maan knew she needed more—these precious, comforting hours were his to give.

While on talks, Maan thought of asking her a question which was bothering him

“How is Mrs.D’Souza doing these days? I feel you too are on cordial terms from last couple of months”

“I have never had any fight with her. She is a senior, old timer person of yours. The only old timer that you brought in. I respect her. But I am here alone Maan, I want to make people working here as my family while she used to think it is better if I do not personally talk with each worker here. I don’t say her thoughts are wrong. She is a manager and wants to manage everything for me and wants me to not worry. But these worries are my entertainment. The clash was between our ways. But I think now she has settled with my ways. From last two months she has been so cordial and caring”

“Hmmm…” Maan was thinking when he felt the weight on his shoulder increase. He knew she had drifted to sleep. Maan let her go into a deep sleep. Then he fixed the pillow and delicately placed her head on the pillow.

******

At the start, Mrs. D’Souza, was not liking the way all her subordinates were getting to directly interact with Mrs Khurana. What will be her importance and hierarchy in the Manor? Geet was all over the place. She went to the kitchen and would start working with the chef, trying to learn some cooking tips and tricks of cooking. In the garden, she would work with the gardener, learn gardening with them and similarly with any of the workers, she would start talking and chatting. 

According to her, Mr. Khurana has married a girl next door who did not have proper sense and knowledge to maintain her class and dignity. What’s the use of being wife of Maan Khurana, if she doesn’t understand the value of it.

Somewhere in another universe, the black world could not find the negativity around the love souls who have been able to unite as Maan and Geet. These had united against all the odds and trouble created by the black world. 

When they had finally worked to create deep negativity in his family by the use of social norms of the earthly world, Maan had moved away with his soul partner Geet, taking themself away from all negativity.

Maan had alway been able to get Geet and their love away from the negativity. All their calculations were based on earth life and Maan’s love for his family. Never was it expected that he could ever leave his family. But he did and now the two are creating a whole new positive world for their child. Had he been weak and not left, they would have conspired to use the built up negativity to harm the baby.

They had to somehow prevent the fruit of their love from coming into this world. Yet, there was an undeniable positivity all around. Geet had let go of her past, and with Maan by her side, the life growing within her had become a source of light. She convinced herself to stay happy, kept busy, and surrounded herself with people. But it wasn’t just about her—she was also holding Maan together. Whenever guilt crept into him for pulling her away from her family, she would effortlessly brighten the room with tales of her daily adventures, leaving no space for regret.

The only weak link they found was Mrs. D’Souza, who didn’t take a liking to Geet. But it wouldn’t be easy. Despite everything, she had years of loyalty to Maan—he was her favorite among all the Khurana kids. She was here solely because Maan trusted her, wanting a reliable presence around his wife in this unfamiliar world. Convincing Mrs. D’Souza to harm Maan’s child would be no simple task. Yet, she remained the weak link, and they were prepared to use every means to plant seeds of negativity in her heart.

Thus the negative feeling started growing in her heart. For the dark world, things now seemed within reach. 

The white world was observant of the activities of the Dark world but they were confident of their two love souls after they had united and become one, Geet having Maan’s parts within her. That itself made them extremely powerful and could now survive any negativity on their own.

The power of positivity has surrounded them.

Those days when the hatred was growing within Mrs. D’Souza, Geet would come with a smile in front of her and magically all hatred inside her would fly away for those moments.

Geet would sweetly and respectfully talk to her and assign her some responsibilities and trust in her that Mrs D’Souza could just not keep her hatred.

Later again, the dark world would start surrounding Mrs D’Souza with negativity. She would then later regret her not teaching Mrs. Khurana the lesson and instead was being good to her.

The next day, when she entered the hall once again, carrying all her resentment, Maan would greet her with warmth. He’d ask about her well-being, reminding her how much he trusted her with Geet. He would express how her presence had made his decision to settle in Australia easier and how truly grateful he was that she had chosen to stand by him.

All Maan’s words would bring an immediate change of heart in her and then she would work as a perfect loyalist  for a couple of days.

It thus kept on going, 

The darkness worked hard to fill her with negativity, to spoil the happiness around Maan and Geet. But  it was failing badly in front of the everyday increasing positivity power of Maan and Geet.

Slowly the positivity overtook the negativity of Mrs.D’Souza and she didn’t even realize when her hatred for Geet completely turned to genuine care.

Now her outlook towards Geet completely changed. She enjoyed seeing a lively innocent sweet girl. She admired the way Geet crazily loved Maan.

It looks long for the change to come in Mrs.D’Souza but for the last 2 months she has been taking care of Geet like a mother.

Maan was in the very important meeting for setting up a new steel plant.  

After successfully buying a huge chunk of land for setting up the beverages factory, he was now focusing on his core strength – Construction. Not only taking up the construction projects, which he has already grabbed a couple big ones but also setting up factories for hardware. Steel Plant was something that he has set up his mind on. He would even initiate it not before two years from now but initiation and planning has to be started and things to be kept on rolling. For now he will focus on two major construction projects, building his own Mall and the beverages sector. Beverages – he knew Geet would do good here. He will hand it over to her once she is ready to take on the work front. 

He was deeply engrossed in his meeting when he got a call from Mrs. D’Souza. Maan immediately picked the call and excused himself from the meeting. Mrs.D’Souza does not call in work hours and Geet’s due date was almost there.

“Yes”

“Sir, Ma’am’s water broke, and we’ve brought her to the hospital. She’s in constant pain, calling out your name. We have Mr. Aditya and ma’am’ friend Miss Pinky here as well.

“You should have called me earlier Mrs. D’Souza “I’ll soon be there”

Maan was there in the delivery room where Geet was constantly shouting out of pain. His heart tore apart seeing his Jaan in so much pain. He looked around at doctors and nurse and they were least worried

“It’s okay Mrs. Khurana, keep pushing” a nurse said so calmly

They were rubbing her hands, Maan held her palm in his “Jaan, are you okay?” he asked with all concerns. It went on for a couple of more hours.

But both Geet and Maan forgot all her pain within a fraction of seconds when Nurse placed the baby girl in her hand. Maan rushed to her side and embraced.

And the moment they both held the baby together, everything around them gleamed with brightness and happiness filled not only the room but all around and within them.

Geet looked at Maan. He gave a very soft peck on the baby’s forehead and a deep one on Geet’s forehead.

“Maan are you still….” 

“I’ll call everyone” he confirmed before she could even complete her sentence. The negative feeling and anger that Maan had towards his mother and Dadima had been slowly disappearing and at this moment he only wanted to feel happy and fulfill Geet’s wish.

Somewhere deep down, over the past few months, he had begun to sense that his mother and grandmother would now only shower love on Geet and the baby. Lately, he also felt liberated from his anger—nothing mattered more to him than Geet’s happiness.

He looked at his little angel. Ohh… how can he deprive his angel from getting love from her maternal and paternal grandparents and great grandparents as well as from her lovely uncle and aunts. 

No – he cannot be that hard on his angel. Not only this, the son in him also started melting and his anger slowly evaporated. 

But one thing he was sure of – Geet will not go to the place where she had been disgraced. So they will all have to be here if they want to bless his baby. 

Since Maan had left the house with Geet, the family had not been as normal as before. They were still coping up with the fact that Maan had actually left them and properly settled in Australia. Maan Khurana, the name cannot be hidden. But not being able to connect with him was painful. It was not that they could not somehow get his number but Raj requested them all to respect his wish. 

Kamini and Savitri Devi had since then been in guilt and pain. 

Kamini loved all her kids but Maan had a special place in her heart. Maan was Kamini’s pride and  She in return hit the pride of her pride. Got her own grandchild tested and hurt the very girl he madly loved. How could she think of society above her son? Geet was going to be married to Maan and Maan was madly in love with her, so protective of her and what did she do? Disgraced the girl who meant the world to her son. How could she? 

She was waiting for the day her Maan would forgive her and she can get to shower her love to her eldest daughter in law. Her mother in law became her best friend and what did she do? She was praying  everyday and waiting to get a call from her son.

Same was the case with Savitri Devi. How could she differentiate her love towards Kamini and Geet. Geet was her granddaughter in law. 

Similar was the case with other family members. Raj was not able to forgive himself for not being able to save his Geet, the one he considered his daughter. 

Vicky has started to actively handle the business and was even doing great. He was able to show his calibre. But he was doing all this as a duty which Bhai had handed him. 

Annie and Vicky not only felt hurt that Bhai had just taken ten percent and left all his hard work for them. Also, they were missing the guidance , scolding and support of Bhai. 

Geet, the sweetest and loveliest Bhabhi anyone could imagine. But she was insulted by their family.  

That day  everyone was sitting in the garden. It was a beautiful evening but the sun was still about to set and thinner sunlight was filling the surrounding.

Raj, Vicky and Annie were involved in some business discussion while Kamini and Savitri were calculating in low voice if Geet would have given birth to baby already or if she was till due when Savitri Devi’s phone buzzed

“Raj – it seems a foreign number. Can it be Maan’s?” Raj peeked at the number and it did have the Australia code

“Pick it up… in speaker” Savitri Devi immediately picked up the phone

“Hello” she said and whole family had their ears on the phone

“Dadima” came Maan’s voice from the other side

“Maan!!” “Maan” “Beta” “Bhai” “Bhai”

Maan heard in unison “Hello everyone”

Savitri Devi asked everyone to stay calm “Maan beta…”

Maan could feel the emotion in Dadima’s voice. “Dadima, called to give you all the good news. Geet has delivered. Our princess has arrived in this world”  

“Congratulations…how is the baby? How is Geet” asked Kamini 

“Congratulations to all of us Bhai” 

“Badhai ho beta. I want to see them dear, I want to see you” Requested Dadima.

“Geet wants to see you all as well. She want her family to pamper our angel”

“Maan, we will be there by tomorrow as early as possible” Came immediately from Kamini 

Maan could feel the happiness in his family with the news. It was time to give up his anger as he could feel the repentance and he did not think he was that great a man that he had the right to punish his parents. His existence in this world is due to them. Actually in this moment of happiness, he was not able to contain the sourness in his heart, that too for his own family

“Geet will be excited to see you all. I will now need to give news to her family as well. Need to disconnect. Bye” Maan was getting too emotional. The mixture of his princess arriving in this world and talking to his family after so long was playing with his emotions and making him vulnerable.

“Daarji Pranam”

“Maan puttar ji” whole family hears the strong voice of Daarji and the mention of Maan pulled them all to the Aagan of haveli

“Daarji – Geet gave birth to a little angel. I called to give you all news of our princess arriving in this world”

“Maan puttar – khub khub badhaiya tumhe aur hum sab ko… khub khub aashirwad” Daarji blessed Maan and congratulated him and themself.

And then there was a line of blessings and happy commotion from everyone in the family.

“Geet is missing her family badly and our angel needs your blessings.”

“Maan, you do not need to hesitate at all, we have all been waiting for your one call. We want to se badly see you both and now our little angel” said Brij

“I will arrange for the jet for you all. You reach Delhi and both family can come together”

Maan arranged for everyone to travel comfortably.
