Maan:  mujhe bahutbhook lagthi hai, hum kuch khathe hai

Geet:  teek hai

Maan: tumme kya pasand hai? ice cream? Pizza? Burger? Sandwiches?Cheese cake?

Geet: Gol gappe

Maan wanted to treat her and she likes chaat

Maan: tumme chaat pasand hai?

Geet: haan, sabko pasand hai, aap ko?

Maan: woh, mein teeka nahi katha

Geet is disappointed...

Geet: toh aap ko jo bhi pasand hai wahi kathe hai'

Maan: tumme chaat chahiye haina?

Geet: par aap ko bhook lagi haina?

Maan: koi baat nahi, aaj mein chaat hi khatha hoon, mera bhimann kar raha hai chaat khane ki

Geet: sachi?

Maan: haan, sachi'

Geet: toh gadhi rokho

Maan: kyun Geet?

Geet: humme wapas jaana hai

Maan: tum kuch bhool gayi ho kya?

Geet: nahi meinne abhi abhi ek chaatwale ko dekha tha, wahan

Geet turns back and looks at the stall

Maan: Geet, hum aaise gadhi ko guma nahi sakthe, te Amristarnahi, Delhi hai

Geet becomes sad...

Maan: tumme wahi chaat khana hai?

Geet: nahi

Geet sounds disappointed...

Maan goes over a km and takes a U turn to get back to thesame chaatwala

Geet is very happy...

As Maan stops the car on the side Geet jumps out withouteven waiting for Maan...

Maan is very very happy to spent such wonderful time withGeet...

Geet gets them and runs towards Maan...

Geet: muh khol

Maan: Geeet?

Maan looks around and is embarrassed...

Geet: hare, aap ko bhook lagi haina? Muh kholo, jaldhi

Maan opens his mouth and Geet feeds him...

Maan eats them like a kid...

After Maan finishes Geet gets her Gol gappe...

She just gulps 20 puris in a minute

Maan keeps watching them go into her mouth one afteranother...

He is loving her company so much...

He isn't bothered about anything now, he wants to keepwatching Geet just like that...

They return late and Dadi is happy to see them coming backtogether...

This becomes the routine soon...

Whenever Geet feels like having something spicy she goes toMaan and says tht she will go with him that day for she wants to eat...

Ek din Gol gappe to ek din samosa, aloo tikki and breadbhajji...

Maan's car is seen at the roadside eateries nowadays ratherthan a multi cuisine restaurant...

Geet has introduced him to Desi delights, and Maan hasstarted liking them...

Whatever it is, he wants to be with Geet...

Geet starts to discover new feelings for Maan...

But she is not able to understand why she is getting thosegoose bumps and adrenalin rushes when Maan gets closer...

Geet struggling to handle Maan's passions and still confusedabout her rights...

But Maan has no problem at all for he is not in a positionto judge what is right or wrong...

He has lost the capacity to think and judge matters, he isin the hold of this insane love that he has found after a long time which he isnot ready to give up thinking about wht's right and what's not...

This is not about the infatuation or the search for a soulmate, that love that everyone desires but this is just the love for someone whohas come as a savior in his lonely world, where he felt that he had no one toshare his love, no one to care for, no to take care of him, no one to fightwith, no one to speak to, no one to have dinner with him, no one to pull hislegs, no one to point out his mistakes, no one to tell him that he is wrongwhen he errs...

It was only MSK all these days, and Dadi was there but stillMaan missed that someone,  to take hisBro's place, to fill his emptiness, be a part of his life, be a part of hisjoys and happiness, he is not searching for someone to share his grief,  someone to empathise with his pain, no, MSKdoesn't need anyone's sympathies...

Geet is the one who never looked at him with pity, she isalways ready for a tough fight, she never thinks that MSK is always right, shekeeps questioning him and his ways of living, she is the one who boldly brokethe rules of MSK's regime...

She crsuhsed all the barriers that MSK built around him andmade her way easily...

Now Maan has become addicted to Geet that he can neverimagine a day without her...

Ab Geet Maan ki aadat ban gayi hai aur aaise hi chalega tohGeet MSK ki zaroorat aur zindagi ban jayegi...

Maan is happy after so many years and Geet has succeeded inending his long solitude...he is no longer alone, he is no longer thatchintamani MSK...he is in good company, Geet is his happiness and he wants toenjoy every moment he is with Geet...

When she is not around Maan happily gets lost in hermemories...teh timea he spent with her and always thinking about her innocentsmiling face and crazy acts which he loves the most...

He has lost his innocence and childhood due to hisunfortunate family loses...Maan takes this as an opurtunity to live those pureinnocent life of a kid which he missed in the company of his child woman...

He is happy that he has finally found a reason to live, tosmile, his life has a meaning now...

Here is someone who has showed him that despite thetragedies that life thrusts upon us, there is always happiness hiding behindthem which we have to search and find amidst all our sorrows...

She made him believe that there is always light at the endof every tunnel, but how would you find the light if you are not willing tomove forward and stay back in the darkness forever...

Maan is used ti that darkness so much that he was afraid offacing light again...

But Geet entered from no where as the torch that would guidehim out of the tunnel, out of his miseries, out of that darkness andloneliness...

Maan is not ready to miss this wonderful chance that hascome his way after so many woeful years of self-pity , God has been very kindto him...

He has discovered this other side if himsef, the playboyKhurana, the lovey dovey Khurana, actually the credit should go to Geet forthis discovery...b'coz it's Geet who has turned him into this crazy loverindeed...

And our Romeo hates to miss even the smallest ofopurtunities to express his love, haina?

So it's trouble time for Geet...

Maan keeps calling Geet to his cabin for no reason at alland keeps her waiting for his orders while he keeps gazing her and enjoys thefaces she makes, her wild outbursts, her conplaints to babaji and all her othertricks to control her emotions...

Maan gets her involved in every other project that he is currentlyworking on so that he would never miss Geet's company any time...

Sasha is left with no work at all and she hates Geet fortrying to snatch her position within few days...

But how would she know that Geet is not fighting for sasha'splace at KC but Geet has already made place for herself in Maan's life...

Geet is not competing with anyone but she is competing withherself to check her feelings...

Poor Geet, it's no use fighting the battle which she hasalready lost or you can say that she had already surrendered herself toMaan...

At Maan's cabin...

Maan: toh Geet, mein kya keh raha tha?

Geet: wahi sunne ke liye mein ada gante se wait kar rahihoon sir

Geet is waiting for more than 30 minutes but Maan is busyadmiring his Mishty that he forgot why he called Geet...Geet ko bhulane keliye koi reason chahiye hai kya MSK ko? Nahi na?

Par ye Geet toh kab iss baat ko samjegi?

Maan escapes au usual playing the blame game...

Maan: Geet, you have wasted my precious time, where's theblue prints? Go get it immediately

Geet stares Maan, she doesn't know why Maan is doing this toher for Maan also knows what effects his presence does to her...

Maybe his charisma and attitude affect a lot of other girlstoo but why would Maan bother about them?

He is only concerned about this girl, he loves watching herpanting heavily, her heart beat raising and sinking with the level of hisproximity...her breath stopping, her voice sinking...and all her efforts topretend to be unaffected failing as soon as their eyes meet...those eyecontacts keep them both mersmerised...Maan's weakness has been herintoxicating eyes which don't know to lie or pretend, they keep inviting himalways, they keep searching for him always, they keep assuring that Geetbelongs to him, she is his possession, they keep a watch on him when he is withother girls, and to sum things up in Maan's business language, Geet's watchfuleyes always keep warning him that he is now someone else's property and he hasno rights to misuse other's property...

Though both of them maintain silence as far as theirrelationship is concerned their eyes conversing all the time like a typicalcouple in a relationship...

Geet keeps looking at the stairs when Maan is late for hisbreakfast and Maan keeps looking for her when she disappears from hissight...

Dadi has a great time enjoying their nok joks at KM and Adiand party couldn't believe what they see at KC...

The holidays are nearly over and the project is ready forthe launch...

Mr.Sharma invites Geet specially for the launch party inMumbai and Rahul too insists that Geet too come for the launch for this is herproject after all...

Maan is more than happy to take Geet with him to Mumbai...

Geet is also excited to go to Mumbai but she is also scaredto go with Maan alone...

She knows very well that he would make the most of thisopurtuniy...

Maan is all pumped up and can't wait for them to start thislovely journey together, it would be Maan and Geet only...how good is this?Maan with his Mishty, far away from everyone...

Dadi is surprised to see Maan happily getting ready for thistrip as he had totally avoided any trip after that tragic Goa trip...he hasrarely left Delhi in these years except for that hoshiarpur trip and a coupleof business trips that he couldn't avoid...

Dadi babaji se dua karthe hai ki ye safar Maneet ko ek dusreke humsafar bana de...

Dadi ko kya patha ki ye donno KC mein kya kya karthe hai?haina babaji? Par babaji toh sab jaanthe hai...iss kahaani ke script toh babajike haath mein hi haina?

Maan and Geet get ready to leave for Mumbai...

Geet is still scared and dadi knows that this should betough for Geet who is brought up in a village where a girl's first formalouting is to her sasuraal...otherwise she is restricted to go out exceptfor a few family pilgrimages...

Dadi: Maan bete, ek minute

Maan: ji dadima

Dadi looks at Geet's worried face...

Dadi: Geet pehle bar bahar jaa rahe haina? Toh aap ko hiGeet ka khyaal rakhna padega

Maan smiles...: haan dadi, I know

Maan looks at Geet...

Dadi: aap Geet ko kabhi bhi akhele chodke nahi jayenge, teekhai?

Maan: kya Dadi aap bhi? Ye koi do saal ki bachi thodi nahi

Dadi: Maan bete, Geet ka toh patha nahi, lekhin hum aapkobahut achche se jaanthe hai, aap apni business ke chakkar mein Geet ko Mumbaimein hi chodke aajayenge

Maan: dadi, aap kaise batein kar rahe hai? ye toh pehle hiaaise muh lekhe beiti hai jaise hum kissi aur planet jaa rahe ho, aap Geet koaur darathe hai

Geet: mein kahan darthi hoon? Aap darthe honge

Maan moves towards Geet and keeps staring her...: tum nahidarthi?

Geet runs to dadi: Dadima

Dadi: Maan bete, humne abhi abhi kaha tha ki aap aaise Geetko pareshaan nahi karenge, samjhe aap?

Maan: hmmm

Maan thinks for a while, this is not easy...Geet paas hotoh Maan kaise chup reh saktha?

Maan: mein kosish kartha hoo dadi

Dadi: Geet bete, aap fikar mat kijiye, koi bhi baat ho aapturanth humme phone kar dijiye

Geet: achcha dadima, bye, aap apne khyaal rakega, waqt pedawa kahyiye aur ksuh rahiye, ab toh yahan koi aapko pareshaan nahi karega

Geet looks at Maan and stares...
