He had to call her know? How could he forget?...

Geet calls after waiting for more than an hour...

Maan's mobile rings...

Maan: excuse me

Vijay: it's Geet?

Maan smiles...

Vijay: you carry on, I'm done

Vijay leaves...

Maan: halo

Geet just explodes...

Geet: mujhe ye shadhi karni hai

Maan: what?

Geet: haan, shadhi cancel mat karo, mujhe ye shadhi karni hai

Maan: mujhe maaf kardho Geet

Geet is not interested in his maafi...woh kudh apni galthi ke liye maafi maangna chahathi...

Geet: aap pehle mere baat ko suno, mujhe aapse shadhi karni hai, samje aap?

Maan: mein bhi ye shadhi cancel nahi karna chahatha

Geet: sach?

Maan: haan

Geet: aap kahan ho? Uncle aagaye hai kya?

Maan: haan, aagaye hai

Geet: aapne unse kuch baat toh nahi kiya haina?

Maan: nahi, kuch khaas nahi, bas tummare barein mein baat kar rahe the

Geet: mere barein mein? Hare babaji, ye kya ho gaya? aapne uncle se mere barein mein kya kaha? Mein bahut ziddi hoon, hamesha ladthi rehthi hoon, aur batein bahut karthi hoon, aur itni pagal hoon, aur

Maan: aur bahut pyaari ho tum, bahut achchi ho tum

Geet: kya?

Maan: haan

Geet: aap kab aarahe ho? mujhe aapse milna hai, aaj hi

Maan: nahi, mein aaj nahi aasaktha, hummare pagalpan se yahan bahut bada hungama ho gaya hai, mujhe pehle sabko teek karna hoga, aur mein aaj uncle ko chodne Amritsar jaa raha hoon, mein aaj nahi aasaktha

Geet: mein kuch nahi jaanthi, aap ko aana hi padega, mujhe aapse milna hai, kuch zaroori baat karni hai

Maan: tum phone pe kyun nahi bathathi?

Geet: nahi, phone pe nahi kar sakhti, aap aao, pls

Maan: phirse shuru ho gayi tu? Ab shadhi hogi toh bhi Delhi mein hi hogi, samji

Geet: kya?

Maan: mujhe patha hai, tum yahi baat karna chahathi haina?

Maan gets angry...

Geet: aapna, kabhi nahi suadhroge

Geet cuts the call...

Maan goes to Amritsar along with Vijay...

It's already 8 pm...

They are at the dinner table...

Geet calls Maan again...

Kiran: ye kya hai Maan? Dinner ke waqt bhi phone? Aap ko patha haina ki Uncle ko khane ke waqt ye sab pasand nahi hai

Vijay smiles...: tum jao

Maan leaves...

Kiran: what?

Maan: hare, Geet ka phone hai

Kiran: kya? kal tak toh Geet se itna naraaz tha, ab kya hua?

Vijay: isse kehthe hai pyaar, Maan ko pyaar ho gaya

Maan: halo, tumme phone karne ki koi aur waqt nahi miltha hai kaya? Hamesha khane ke samay hi kyun disturb karthe ho?

Geet: kya? mein yahan bhooke pyaaz aap ke liye intrezaar kar rahi hoon, aur aap kehthe ho ki meinne aapke dinner ko disturb kardhi?

Maan: teek hai, teek hai, ab zyada drama mat karo, bolo, kyun phone kiya tha?

Geet: mujhe aapse milna hai, abhi

Maan: what? Meinne kaha na, mein Amritsar mein hoon

Geet: mein bhi yahi hoon

Maan: what?

Geet: mein apne Naanu ke ghar ke paaswali coffee shop mein aap ke liye intrezaar kar rahi hoon, aap jaldhi aao

Maan: tum iss waqt ghar ke bahar kyun aayi? Woh bhi akele?

Geet: aapko kaise patha ki mein akhele aayi hoon?

Maan: tum apne family ke saath hothi toh mujhe kaise bhulathi?

Geet: aap aa rahe ho ya mein wahan aaoon?

Maan: what? Tum wait karo, mein aatha hoon, aur suno, sambalkke rehna

Maan bahut pareshaan ho jaatha...

Maan starts driving...

It's raining...and it's very cold out there...

Maan: ye ladhki itne raat ko woh bhi aaise barish mein mujhse kyun milna chahathi? Ye akise zidd hai?

Maan parks the car infromt of the caf...

Geet finds his car and comes out running...

Maan is just waiting...it's pouring out there...

Maan hesitates to step out in the rain...

But when he sees Geet coming towards the car running he also gets out ...

Hoshiarpur express comes in full speed...

Luckily there is no one on the road as it's raining...

Maan goes to catch her...else she will definitely fall...

She just stops with a jerk almost touching him...

They just stare each other...

Geet: woh...mein

Maan: pehle saans toh lo, phir baat kar sakthi

Geet takes deep breaths...

Maan: ab aaise bhi kya baat hai?

Geet: aap itne bade Dhust bhi nahi ho

Maan: what?

Geet: aap bahut achche ho

Maan: tumne yahi kehne ke liye mujhe bhulaya tha?

Geet: haan, mujhe bahut badhi galatfami ho gayi, par ab sab teek ho gaya hai

Maan: kya teek ho gaya hai?

Geet tells him everything...

Maan: issilye tum itne gusse mein thi?

Geet: I'm sorry, meinne aapko galat samja

Maan: kya samja?

Geet: aap bahut hi bade Dusht danav ho

Maan: kya mein itna bhura hoon?

Geet: nahi, utna bhi bhure nahi ho,thoda achche bhi ho

Maan: bas thoda?

Geet: nahi bahut achche ho

Maan: kitna achcha?

Geet: itna

Geet opens her hands wide like SRK...

Maan just wanted to go hug her...

Geet: mein toh aapko yahi kehna chahhathi thi, ki mein aapko

Geet stops ...

Maan: hare, chup kyun ho gayi? Aaise mosam mein ye toh hotha hi hai, kehdho Geet, apne dil ki baat

Geet sharmathi...

Geet: I like you, aap bahut achche ho

Maan looks at her eyes...Maneet eyelock...rain has slowed down...

Geet is fully drenched...

Maan couldn't take his eyes off her...

Maan keeps staring...Geet covers herself with the duppatta...

Maan hosh mein aatha...ye kya ho gaya hai mujhe? Control Maan control...

Maan: Geet, aur ek baat, shadhi toh Delhi mein hi hogi

Geet: kya?

Maan: haan, ye mera faisla hai, buaji has nothing to do with this, samji?

Geet: aap ke dimag mein aaise bakwaas ideas kaise aathe hai?

Maan: bakwaas idea?

Geet: aur nahi toh kya? shadhi Hoshaiarpur mein hone mein aapko kya problem hai?

Maan: hare, ab tum bhi jaanthi ho ki shadhi ki sare zamedhari ab mein apne upar le chukka hoon, aur mujhe toh Delhi ke event managers hi maloom hai, aur jaise tum jaanthi ho, mere toh rishdedaar bahut kam hai, sare dhost hi hai, sab yahi Delhi mein hai, shadhi yahi hothi toh sab mere madat karenge, haina?

Geet: aapka matlab hai ki karcha aap kar rahe hai toh shadhi aapke shaher mein hogi?

Maan: aaisa bhi keh sakthi ho

Geet: par karcha aap kare ya hum, hamesha baraat ladhki ke ghar hi aatha, ladhki kudh apne sasuraal nahi jaathi, samje

Maan : toh tum phir se shuru ho gayi?

Geet: ab meinne kaha ki aap achche ho toh isska matlab ye nahi ki aap galthi hi nahi karthe, haina?

Maan: toh tumme lagtha hai ki mein galat hoon?

Geet: haan

Maan: Geeet

Maan gets angry once again...ye toh MSK haina?

Maan tries to control himself and mananges to calm down...

Maan: tumme patha haina? Mein kitne short tempered hoon, phir tum kyun argue karthiho mujhse?

Geet: mein aapke gusse se darthi nahi, samje aap? Aur Geet Handa hamesha aaise hi sab se argue karthi, ye mera haq hai

Maan: for God's sake Geet, why can't you just keep your mouth shut for a few minutes when I'm angry?

Geet: why should I shut my mouth? Why can't you control your anger?

There she goes again...

This time Maan just frowns...

Geet ko woh tapad yaad aatha...

Kisne kaha ki tapad se dar nahi lagtha hai ? aaise tapad kathe toh dar kaise nahi lagega?

Geet just tries to leave...she doesn't want to create any more trouble...

Maan stops her...pulls her towards him...

Geet goes and hits him...

She is so scared...

She closes her eyes and tries to hide her face under his shirt...just to escape his slap...

She clings to him tight in fear...

Maan ka dil garden garden ho gaya...

He hugs her tight...his fingers slowly making patterns on her back...

Geet's body shivers...not in fear this time...ussko bhi kuch kuch hotha haina...

Geet takes off his hands and steps back...

Her lips still trembling...

Maan zeroes in on her lips and before Geet could sense his intensions...

Maan kissed her lips...just a touch and go kiss...

But that itself was too much for Geet to handle...

She knows that this is not good ...

Maan waits for her reaction...

She is still in shock...

Geet: mujhe ghar jaana hai

Maan: teek hai, mein tumme drop kartha hoon

Geet moves back suddenly and starts to run...

Geet: nahi, mein chale jaoongi

Her Naanu's house was just a few metres away...

Maan keeps staring at her...

That night Geet couldn't sleep...

Thinking about Maan...

He is so fast...haina?

Geet thinks that this is fast?

What if I couldn't live upto his expectations...

He is so passionate and what they say...ohhh Romantic...

And look at his eyes...always demanding...

What if I fail on that night?

Maybe I should have learnt a little more about it...

Should I ask about this to pinky...

No no...what will she think about me? Aur meri image karab ho jayegi...

I'll ask Maan itself...haina?

This is something about us, should I ask him now?

No no...later...
