CHAPTER 14
ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any royal titles, MEDICAL TERMS, MEDICAL PROCEDURES, MILITARY TERMS, MILITARY PROCEDURES, Punjabi terms, architectural terms, IT terms & programs, office hierachy, wedding rituals, etc. are from my imagination hence THEY ARE NOT TRUE. PLEASE DON'T BASH ME !!!!!
ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHS DOWNLOADED DO NOT BELONG TO ME BUT BELONG TO THE ORIGINAL UPLOADER. I HAVE JUST USED THEM AS THEY GO WITH MY STORY! PLEASE DON'T BASH ME !!!
Location: Army Base Camp in centre of Thaar Desert, Rajasthan
Few weeks passed, Maan started his preliminary construction work along with his team. He had everyone in his team but could not get a Professional Assistant (PA) with basic knowledge of Architecture. He was unable to ask Meera to join his team on long term basis as she was handling major projects in Delhi and Sasha was just a make up doll according to him which he was forced to endure . Hence, he was extremely over worked and tired. Everyday he was going into more and more depression. He would look at the photograph of Swarnanjali, talk to it and sleep while looking at it!
He had started now feeling that he was not worthy of a woman's pure love. Maybe God was punishing him for destroying his innocent wife, Geet's life. Time, pressures and responsibility of business bring with it certain amount of maturity and soberiety in one's life and now Maan could objectively see the reason why his parents took gaurdianship of a defenceless orphan Geet! He was blaming her for no fault of hers! In his immaturity and insecurity he felt that Geet is taking away his parent's love, affection and attention. The person who was poisoning his mind had been Munishiji. Khurana family had always thought Munishiji was their old and faithful employee till they found his dishonest activities of embezzling huge amounts of money from their Hoshiyarpur ancestorily property along with Brijendra Handa, Geet's cousin. That was not all, Munishiji also wanted to get his darling daughter Sasha married to Maan and hence was in some way responsible for Geet's death. Due to Maan's intense feeling of guilt once he came to know the truth, he never entered Geet's room or the room his parents had converted as a shrine for Geet, hence he still did not know how Geet looked like!
The local people were celebrating a festival and had invited the Army officers to join in the celebration. Maan's team were thrilled at the prospect to see and hear the rich folk songs and folk dances of Rajasthan and eagerly went to see the program with Army personnel, but Maan did not.Maan had become a loner since past few years. First due to Sameera's betrayal & being boycotted by his family; then in guilt for his behaviour towards Geet and now because of disappearance of Anjali. Rudra insisted Maan to join in when he refused, Rudra finally dragged Maan with him to see the show. Maan also met Rudra's wife, Parvati or "Paro" before the show. Seeing Paro reminded Maan so much of Anjali as both were simple and not into artificial look i.e. makeup, fancy clothes etc.
The program started the stage was set up and it was so colourful reminding him of Anjali at each and every moment.
The show started with the traditional puppet show which was sung in Rajasthani language depicting the glory of their past Kings and Queens. The songs were bringing out the essence of desert and colours of Rajasthan.
Next were some folk songs followed by dances from Kalbelia tribe of Rajasthan. Women were dressed in black outfits which were brighten with colourful cut out motifs and lot of gold and silver piping or "gota" on it.
First few dances were done by group of women then a solo dance was performed by a woman with head in a long ghunghat. Slowly rhythmn of the dance started increasing and so did the dance.
Initially Maan was not paying much attention but when the solo performer came his heart felt as if he knew the performer. Nearing the climax, with increasing rhythmn and beats of the song, the woman's dance speed also increased resulting in uncovering of the woman's face and removal of her ghunghat and thus revealing that it was none other than Ganga.
Maan stood up in shock as he felt its his Anjali, the only difference was that Ganga's complexion was dusky and Anjali was fair! After the thundering applause stopped, Ganga returned to the stage with her face uncovered and slowly sat on the centre of the stage and started placing on her head beautiful earthen pots one on top of other and slowly got up and started dancing.
(Imagine Ganga)
The audience sat mesmerised seeing a beautiful dancer doing a beautiful & graceful dance based on rhytmn and balance! Maan was so engrossed in Ganga that he did not notice when the dance was over and Ganga left the stage.
Ganga was on the way to Green Room to change when a strong and muscular arm caught her arm and said, "CAPTAIN SWARNANJALI SINGH WE NEED TO TALK URGENTLY!"
