                                                                Part - 1

One evening at KM'''.

Dadi and Maan's bhuaji are seriously discussing something'..

Maan just enters'..

Suddenly they stop their chat in the middle'..

They look at each other and pretend to have not seen Maan'..

Maan knows that it's all about his marriage'.

He has told them a thousand times that he is not interested in marriage'.rather he hates marriage'.

For him marriage means suffering'..

He had seen a lot of troubled marriages including his own parents' marriage'..

Buaji ko hi lelo''she loves only money and property, luckily Maan's uncle is a fairly good businessman'.he started KC along with Maan's father and also had taken care of it after Mr.Khurana left till Maan took over the business last month'.

But for Maan she is very loving and caring'..

Atleast she took care of him all these years'..

Kiran: maa, Maan aagaya

Dadi: Kiran, aap hi baat karna

Kiran: pehle app shuru toh karo

Dadi: Maan bete, aap aagaye?

Maan: Dadi, pichle 5 min se mein yahi kada hoon

Kiran: aur humne dekha hi nahi

Isse achche koi joot nahi bol saktha'.

Maan: kaise dekhteh? App donno toh koi nayi kichdhi pakane mein busy the

Maan thinks'.patha nahi aaj kisski band bajanewali hai'..mein toh jaantha hoon ki meri hi band bajanewala hai aaj, haan

Kiran: kya? aaise kuch nahi hai

Dadi: haan haan, hum toh bas aapke barein mein baat kar rahe the

Kiran: maa''

Maan gets angry'..phirse wahi purane kahaani? Shadhi karlo, aldhki aaisi hai, waisi hai'.

Maan: toh meinne sahi samja? Koi mujhe bathayega ki yahan kya ho raha hai?

Maan chilatha''

Kiran isse dekhkke darnewali nahi'.Dadi may surrender atonce'.but not Kiran'.

Kiran looks into his eyes'..

They are red hot in anger'..

Kiran ignored them'don't show me this attitude beta'I'm your bua'same blood'same anger'.don't forget'.i'm also a khurana'..merried to a khanna par ho toh ek Khurana'..

Kiran: Maan, ab tummare padayi bhi katam ho gayi, aur tum KC ko bhi sambalna shuru kiye ho

Maan: buaji, mujhe patha hai ki aap kya baat karnewale hai

Kiran: that's better, so you too think that it's time for your marriage

Maan: what? I don't want any marriage' Why do you want me to repeat this again and agian?

Maan starts walking away'.with the attitude..I don't care''.

Kiran: Maaan, ab bahut ho gaya, iss bar mein teri shadhi karkke arhoongi, tummare pyaare Uncleji bhi mere saath hai

Maan stops'..what? Uncle too wants the same?

But he has always supported him'..what happened now?

Kiran starts her emotional hatyachaar''

Kiran: tummari Dadi iss umar mein akhele iss ghar ko sambal nahi pathi, you know she is getting weak day by day

Dadi: hare bagwan, mere palpitations, lagtha hai phirse shuru ho gaya

Dadi joins the act'..

Kiran: maa

Dadi winks'..

Dadi: Maan bete, ab aapko hummari koi chintha nahi hai

Maan looks at her with a mischievous smile'.

Dadi can't control her smile'..

Maan: Dadi, you and your palpitations, try something else next time'..

Maan laughs''

Maan: dekha buaji, ye meri Dadi hai, kabhi mere khilaaf nahi jayenge, haina Dadi

Dadi: par Maan bete, aapke bhua ki baat mein bhi dum hai, humme aapki shadhi dekhna hai, humme bhi apne ghar ko roshan karne ke liye ek bahu chahiye

Maan shows the lighting'.: itni roshni kaafi nahi hai kya?

Kiran: Maan, be serious, Dadi sahi kehthe hai, it's high time we get a bahu for this house

Maan: bahu kya show-piece hai, jo aap donno rathon raat kareedhkke layenge?

Kiran: tumme usski fikar karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, humne pehle hi ladhki ko chunliya hai

Dadi: haan bete, humne bhi dekha tha, ladhki bahut sundar hai aur padhe likhi bhi hai

Maan: what? Dadi mujhe koi shahdi nahi karni, chahhe woh koi aasmaan ki bari bhi ho, and that's final, aaplog iss baat ko abhi bhool jao, MSK abhi kissi bhi ladhki ko shadhi nahi karega

Maan just leaves without waiting for their reaction'.

Dadi looks worried'.ab kya hoga?

Ye ladhka kitne din aaise zidd pakadkke rahega,hummare mar jaane ke badh issko kaun sambalega?

Baabji, aap hi hummare madat kar sakthe hai'.

Buaji: maa, aap kyun fikar kathe hai, mujhe patha hai ki Maan ko kaise manana hoga

Maan is realy pissed off'

What the hell is going on ?

Maan doesn't know how far they have gone with the wedding plans'

Dadi has already seen the girl? So they must have talked with her family too'.

Maan hates this'.

He doesn't like marriage, so what? He doesn't have the right to hurt any girl's feelings'.

Now they will ask Maan to meet the girl'.

And how on earth would he tell her that he is not interested in marriage,

But which girl would believe that?

It's all just another excuse, thoda alag hai par ho toh joot hai'.

isska madlab toh seedha hai, I don't like you'.

This would hurt her pride'.why is that every girl wants the boy to say that she looks like a princess, princess are found only in fairytales''

Maan has to stop this right now'.

Meanwhile Kiran has implemented her plan'..

Uncle calls Maan'..

Maan respects him so much that he can't say no to him ever'..

Kiran uses this to trap Maan'..

Vijay: halo Maan

Maan: haan Uncle

Vijay: when are you going to meet that girl?

Vijay asks him straightaway not giving Maan time to think of an excuse'.

Maan: woh'..meinne abhi abhi business join kiya haina, thoda busy hoon

Vijay: you can't tell this to me, I know KC better than you, how about this weekend?

Maan: this weekend? It's firday?

Vijay: so what? Come to Amritsar along with your buaji tomorrow, we can talk then

Maan: par mein kaise aaoon?

Vijay: take the car young man, zyada sochne ki koi zaroorat nahi, I know that this is the girl for you

Maan: aap ne bhi ussko dekha hai?

Vijay laughs'..

Vijay: don't worry, you can see her soon, why not this Sunday? I'll talk to Jodinder(Geet's naanu)

Maan: woh'mein keh raha tha ki

Maan fumbles'..

If Vijay has decided something then Maan has no other go but to meet this so called beayty queen'.

Vijay: good night Maan, see you at Amritsar

Maan: good night Uncle

Kaise good night'.unlce has spoiled his sleep now''

This is not good, he has to do something quick or else there is no escape'.

MSK, you can do this, socho Maan socho'..

Though he had been locked like this by his bhua the key is also in her hands only'.

Maan has to somehow persuade her to help him get out of this trouble'..

This time there is no escape Mr.MSK'.be ready to meet our princess'..

Actually Vijay wants Maan to meet the girl and then only after he likes the girl Vijay would proceed further'.

It's not a good idea to force someone to marry a girl of your choice'

Maan should like her first''

But Vijay is confident, who wouldn't like Geet?

Even Kiran liked her atonce'.

It's not easy to satisfy Kiran easily'.

She rejected about a hundred girls for Dev and finally selected Meera'..

Vijay would tease her that she has scored a cenrury'.how could she meet so many girl and keep picking faults? And she never gets tired finding faults with others'specially meera'.

But for Maan this is the first official girl they are seeing'

And Kiran likes her ?

What's the magic?

Nothing like that, she is more concerned in persuading Maan to finally get married than worrying about the girl'.

But the problem with Maan is not the girl'.he hates marriage or maybe scared of marriage''
