It's a Monday morning... Maan was leaving Khurana Mansion to go to his office...whilst talking on the phone to Adi.
Maan: Adi tumne aaj ke interviews ke liye sab kuch ready kar liya?
Adi: Ji sir, bus aapka intezaar hain...
Maan: theek hain...i'll be there shortly
Adi: ok sir.
Maan disconnects the call and sits in the car to drive off to Khurana Constructions...their family business...which has now been passed down to him...after his father's sudden demise in a car accident...whilst driving he stops at a signal..as the lights were red...he casually looks around and notices a group of girls by the gol-gappe stand...amongst those girls there was a girl wearing a traditional dress...whereas the other girls were wearing short skirts etc...in his mind has hoping the girl dressed in the white anarkali suit will turn around so that he could see her face..and it was like she heard him...that same moment she turned around laughing at some joke one of the other girls cracked...he was simply mesmerised by her beauty...she looked like a princess...he noticed her bangles..her eyes..her lovely smile...the tie simply stopped for him...he continued to look at her...the way she ate her gol-gappe's...the way her hands moved and along with her bangles...suddenly he hears a lot of car horns...and he realised that he was blocking a lot of cars...he turned back to look at that girl but she and her group disappeared...he was disappointed.
Maan: (self talk) what's gotten into u...yeh tujhe kya hogaya hain...since when did u start noticing a girl...[he starts driving again..thinking about that beautiful girl...she was definitely unique].
Maan: Adi, Sasha...yeh kaise candidates choose kiye tum dono ne...ek bhi candidate asi nahi joh is position ki layak hain...
Adi: sorry sir
Sasha: sorry MK.
Anyways Maan came back home after a very tiring day at Khurana Constructions...he is welcomed by his one and only family member...his Dadima...Savitri Devi.
Dadi: Maan bete...kaise tha aaj ka din?
Maan: mat poochiya Dadima...main bohot thank gaya hoon..am going to my room
Dadi: ok beta.
Maan kept tossing and turning on his bed...he could not sleep..everytime he closed his eyes the face of that beautiful girl would come before him...
Maan: yeh ladki ne toh mujhe pagal banda diya..sirf 2 minutes use dekha aur yeh haal hogaya hain mera...wiase woh dikhne main itni bhoori bhi nahi thi...she's very beautiful ...
Maan: (thinking) dude what the hell are you saying...you are Maan Singh Khurana..you do not have time for all this..you need to concentrate on making Khurana Construction the best construction company in India...but woh ladki...oooh lagta hain main pagal hi hogaya hoon..
Next morning Maan stops at that same signal with the hope of seeing her again..but his bad luck..today she was not there..Maan is disappointed..He enters Khurana Constructions and is stopped by the receptionist Pinky..
Pinky: Sir, ek ladki aayi hain..woh kal ki interview keliye woh nahi aa payi...kuch problem aa gayi thi..toh woh aaj aayi hui hain...
Maan: hmmm, woh kaha hain?
Pinky: sir, woh waiting room main intezaar kar rahi hain...
Maan: theek hain...usse mere cabin main bhej do.
Maan leaves for his cabin..and Pinky goes to the waiting room to inform the girl..
Pinky: excuse me miss...
Geet: Geet..call me Geet please..
Pinky: ok Geet..Maan sir is here..he has called you to his cabin...
Pinky: ek minute Geet...all the very best..Maan sir ko impress karna...bohot hi mushkil hain...toh tum aaram se unke questions ka answer dena..bilkul bhi mat ghabrana...samjhi..all the best
Geet who was feeling very confident until now...was getting goosebumps...she had heard a lot about the MD of Khurana Constructions...but she never thought that his own staff will fear him like this...and she was going to give the interview for his secretary job...
Geet: (thinking) tut oh gayi Geet...(she somehow manages to smile to Pinky)thank you Pinky..hehe
Geet walks toward Maan's cabin..not knowing if she will come out smiling or crying after the interviews...she nervously knocks on the door..
Maan: come in...(his chair was facing the wall when Geet entered)
Geet: thank u sir...(she quietly sits down)
Maan: so Miss Handa..(looking at her application form...he turns around and he is left gob smacked...it was that beautiful girl..the girl who stole away his sleep..the girl whom he sees everywhere...and now she is sitting right in front of him..
Maan: (thinking) yeh toh wahi ladki hain...jisne mujhe pagal bana diya..yeh yaha interview keliye aayi hui hain...(he is still staring at her)
Geet: (thinking) inhe kya hogaya hain..abhi th itne attitude baat kar rahe the..aur abhi ek dum se chup hi gaye...mere chehre pe kuch hain kya(she touches her cheeks)..main toh bilkul theek dikh rahi hoon...toh inhe kya hogaya...aise bhoot banker kyun...chaddo
Geet: Sir,(waving her hands in front of him)..sir...SIR (she called a little louder)
Maan: hmmm...urm sorry..oth tum interview ke liye aayi hui ho?
Geet: (quietly) nahi main yaha football khelne ke liye aayi hoon...
Maan: kya
Geet: (fumbles) kuch nahi sir...matlab..haan main interview ke liye aayi hoon
Maan takes her interview..somehow controlling himself..so he does not make a fool of himself...the interview was going well..Maan was really impressed with Geet...so he appoints her..
Geet: thank you sir..thank you very much
Maan: (smiling) your welcome
Geet: (self talk) are inhe toh smile karna bhi aata hain...aur kya smile hain inki...haaye..main toh maar gayi...Geet yeh tu kya soch rahi hain..abhi toh tujhe job mila hain..do you want to get sacked too?nahi nahi Babaji...
Maan: toh Miss Handa..kal se tum office join kar sakti ho...tomorrow 9am sharp..hmm
Geet nods her head in approval...Maan forwards his hand for a handshake...
Maan: Congratulations Geet (extending his hands)
Geet: thank you Sir (bringing her hand forward)
They shook each others hand...and were just staring at each other...it felt like no one wanted to let go...Maan (thinking) wow her hand feels so soft and his yet again mesmerised by her simple beauty..Geet on the other hand was (thinking)he has all the qualities a girl will want in their husbands..sach main woh ladki bohot hi lucky hogi..joh Maan sir ki dulhan banegi...(she smiles)
Geet: toh main chalti hoon sir (they were still holding hands)
Maan: hmmm see you tomorrow (still holding hands)
Geet: Sir my hand...
Maan realises he is still holding her hand and lets go feeling embarrassed...
Maan: urmm ...sorry Geet..so see you tomorrow 9am..ok
Geet: it's ok sir..ji 9am
The next day Geet wore a beautiful light blue anarkali dress and looked at herself in the mirror before she left..
Geet: Geet you look beautiful..hehe
Geet reached Khurana Constructions before time and waited patiently in Maan's cabin..so Maan can give her...her tasks for the day
Maan: (thinking) today i'll meet her again..I wonder if she'll look as beautiful as she did yester day...and the day before...with that thought he entered his cabin...to be left speechless once again.
Geet: Good morning sir
Maan: (adored her smiling face...yes she looks very beautiful today...comes back to reality seeing her uneasiness of Maan staring at her) hmmm good morning Geet
He gave her the tasks for the day and also showed Geet her cabin which was right next to his and was simply separated by a glass window...Months have passed since Geet started to work in Khurana Constructions...and her impression about him changed...she found out that he had a rough tough exterior but on the inside he was really soft...when Maan will not be looking she world admire him through the glass window..and the opposite will happen with Maan...when Geet was busy working...Maan will admire her...he kept falling...kept falling more deeply in love with her...but knowing how to give this feeling a name..he was confused...he would call her to his cabin everyday..under the pretence of dictating a letter..and he will start to admire her once again..Geet will also look after his office..kept everything neat and tidy..so it will be easier for Maan..she learnt how to make Maan's special black coffee..
Maan: (thinking) iss ladki ne toh mujhe sach main pagal bana diya..main isse ghoorta hi jaha raha hoon..kya sochegi woh mere bare main...Maan mend your ways..
At Khurana Mansion...Dadima also has been noticing Maan's different behaviour..for the past few months...this was not like Maan...she was very confused..and today she decided that she will clear this air of confusion and talk to Maan straight..
Dadi: Maan bete hum aapse kuch baat karna chahete hain...
Maan: ji Dadiman...kya baat hain...
Dadi: hum bohot dinon se dekh rahe hain..aap bohot ajeeb behave kar rahe hain..aapko jkoi pareshaani hain kya...please hume bataye
Maan: (thinking) kya soch raha hain Maan...dadima ko sab kuch bata de..unke pas toh teri har confusion ka solution hain...
Maan: Dadima woh...actually ek baat hain...woh..ek ladki hain...joh mujhe..matlab..main use...woh mera..
Maan fumbling a lot...Dadima felt like laughing at his state ..but controlled herself..she understood what he is trying to say...and in her mind she is doing bhangra...Maan ..her grandson..who never talks about girls...now is fumbling to get his feeling across...
Maan: Dadima..woh maine use pehli baar...(he narrates the enture story..when he first saw her...the interview...how the past few months have been working with her...and that he is confused with this feeling...that he is feeling for her)...
Dadi: Maan bete...hum joh aapse kehne wale hain...uss baat ko dyaan se suniye...humko lagta hain..ki...aapko Geet se pyaar hogaya hain...(Dadima was smiling very broadly...she was very happy)
Maan: kya Dadima...mujhe pyaar..lekin..yeh kaise..matlab..
Dadi: Maan dekhiye...jab ek insaan ko pyaar ho jata haina...toh unhe khud iss baat ka ehsaas nahi hota...pyaar bus ho jata hain...there's no control my son...the heart decides..it feels like you want that special person in front of you all the time..you do not want them to leave...you want to spend of moment of life with them..when they are not near you...you keep thinking about them...mere bete...isse hi toh pyaar kehte hain...aur aapko Geet se pyaar hogaya hain..(patting his cheeks)
Maan lying on his bed..tossing and turning...thinking about what Dadima had told him...and he thought what Dadima has said was absolutely right..he feels exact this way for Geet..does that mean...OMG..he sits up..
Maan: Maan Singh Khurana you have fallen in LOVE...haan mujhe pyaar hogaya hain..(smiling broadly) yes I AM IN LOVE...I LOVE YOU GEET!!!!! I love you!!!
Next morning...Maan descends down the stairs smiling...they exchanged good morning wishes with each other and both leave to go to Khurana Constructions..Maan had promised Dadima..that today he will introduce Geet to her..they reached KC and Maan called Geet straight to her cabin..
Geet: good morning sir..
Dadima turned and looked at Geet and was very impressed with her grandson's choice...she was indeed a princess...a very pretty girl..Dadima noticed Maan staring at Geet so she nudged him to distract him..
Maan: hmmm Geet meet my Dadima...and Dadima...this is Geet
Geet touches Dadima's feet to takes blessings..and Dadima also blesses her..and tell her she is very pretty..Geet smiles..they chat with each other sitting on the couch in Maan's cabin...and Maan pretends he is working...whilst he just stares at Geet and adores her..Later at KM Dadi tells Maan that she is very impressed with his choice..and that she wants Geet to be the daughter in law of Khurana's soon...so he better make a move..and ask her out..
Next day..the office hours came to an end..everyone had left..Geet waited for Maan...they left together...as they had to complete the project design..whilst in the car..a idea pops into Maan's head...he asks Geet...
Maan: Geet mujhe ek idea aaya hain...tumhe gol-gappe pasand hain? (he already knew the answer)
Geet: Haan sir...mujhe toh bohot pasand hain..muhje gol-gappe race mein koi nahi jeet sakta..
Maan: theek hain..chalo toh phir ek competition hojaye?
Geet was a little shocked..maan and gol-gappe...although Maan did not like them he wanted his plan to succeed..so he had to eat the gol-gappe..and he had to beat Geet..
Geet: theek hain sir..am in..
Maan: ok..agar main jeet gaya..toh tumhe woh karan hoga..joh main kahunga..aur agra tum jeet gayi..toh vise versa...ok
The competition was going well...they both had 49 each...both had tears dropping from their eyes..Geet could not take it anymore and Maan had his 50th one..which means Maan won...after they both got back to normal...
Maan:main jeet gaya toh tumhe..mera saath..date par chalna hoga..manzoor hain?
Geet: (thinking) OMG date with MSK..which idiot will miss this golden opportunity...theek hain sir..mujhe manzoor hain...
Maan smiles...and was really happy that Geet was ready to go on a date with him..Geet was also very happy..he drops her home..just before she leaves..he grabs her hand..
Maan: tomorrow 8pm..i'll send a car...ok (smiling)
Geet: she simply nods her head...(and blushes...runs back to her house)
Next day...Geet arrives at Maan's destination and is mesmerised by the effort Maan has put in..she was awestruck..Maan came from behind and stood right behind her(dressed in a white shirt with top 3 buttons undone...and blue denim jeans...Geet had worn...a light pink anarkali suit) he holds her hand and takes her under the beautifully decorated gazebo...
Maan: (comes towards Geet...kneels down...and says) Geet jis din maine tumhe pehli baar dekha tha...I...I fell in love with you...yes Geet...I LOVE YOU
Geet: (stands up..and so does Maan)..Maan main..matlab..kaha ain..aur kaha aap..main..
Maan: (turns her around and holds her shoulders) Geet ..mujhe in societal baate se koi farak nahi padta..all that matters to me..is to know how you feel about me..do you feel the same way..as I feel for you..(Maan look at her with hope)
Geet: (moves away from him) Maan..I AM IN LOVE...
Maan a little hurt..she loves somebody else..and then he hears..
Geet: I AM IN LOVE with YOU...yes Maan I LOVE YOU!!! Main aapse bohot pyaar karti hoon..aur yeh bhi nahi jaanti ki kabse..bus hamesha yehi daar tha..ki shayad aap..
Maan shuts her up by kissing her on the lip..it was a gentle kiss...but it soon turned out to be a very passionate...a kiss that ended after ages...Geet felt shy and just hid her face in Maan's chest... Maan simply wrapped his arms around Geet and hugged as tight as he could...
Maan: I LOVE YOU GEET
Geet: I LOVE YOU TOO MAAN
They hugged each other even more tightly...silently promising each other to be together forever!!!
