Part 27~Will it stay this way?

Recap:

Daadi: okay I believe you because you say so. Let's go see how maan and geet are doing.

Vicky: All right daadi you go ahead I will be right there.

Daadi: theek hai beta don't take to long though, she says with a smile.

 As daadima heads back into the hospital Vicky thinks, " I am sorry for lying to you daadi.  You already have enough stress, my story would just add to that".

Part 27: "Will it stay this way?"

 Daadi heads toward geet's room. Geet was sleeping. Daadi came and sat next to her and continued to just look at her. 

 She looked so innocent and happy on the outside, but on the inside she carried so much pain.

Daadi just stroked her face and then placed a few strands of her hair behind her ears.

Daadi: geet you have gone through so much, I want you to know that I consider you more of a daughter and I am willing to do anything for you.

A tear drops from the corner of her eyes.

Maan had just walked into the room.

Maan: Daadi..?

Daadima quickly wipes away her tears and tries to fake a smile on her face.

Maan: Daadi if you consider her your daughter than would you have a problem if she came to live with us.

Daadi: mein kuch nahi samjhi. Tumhara matlab kya hai beta?

Maan: I have taken full responsibility of taking care of geet since she has injured her left arm, and since she has no family members to take care of her I told the doctor that I would do it.

I am sorry for not asking for your permission first, but I hope you do not have any objections.

Daadima: I don't have a problem. She could stay at the outhouse.

Maan: but daadima I said that I would take care of her. I just can't leave her there to fend for herself, especially when I live in the Khurana mansion.

 Daadima: that is not a problem beta, you can move back into the outhouse.

Maan was confused and shocked. How was his daadi okay with him and geet to live by themselves alone?

 Daadima could sense maan was stunned by her suggestion, but she trusted both of them and knew they would never do anything to dishonor the family.

But daadi also knew that this would be a perfect opportunity for them to get to know each other better and to become closer to one another.

Daadi: The reason I am saying this so geet can feel at home and have the whole place to herself. If you don't want to-

Maan: ...no that's fine daadi. I have no problem moving back to the outhouse. 

 Maan didn't know why, but he felt like his daadi was hiding something.  But he decided to let it go. maybe geet would feel more comfortable if she stayed in the outhouse.

Vicky: I'm sor-

Vicky stops his apology right when he sees it was meera who he had bumped into.
