Part- 10
Geet is very excited as she loves these mini-trips exploring your localty more and preferably getting to meet new people...having made afew friends already in a completely new place Geet is more than happy to have known sweet dadi...
But everything is not so sweet and at times you also come across undesired people too with all their bitterness...Get suddenly turns her attention to MSK at this thought...
Then she is only happy that it's also good for her that she realized the value of good people more in her life after seeing such morons...
On the other hand Maan happens to see her animated antic sand is amused that she could change her expressions so quickly and her eyes never fear to convey her heart so openly that sometimes Maan wonders how it's even possible for her...
she is a drama queen for sure and that is all the more entertaining though sometimes he is irritated by her stupidity and his anger soars as he couldn't understand why she acts spontaneously without even bothering to think not twice but at least once before blabbering constantly...she could make a great lawyer if only she could make use of her tiny brain a little...
Geet is perplexed to see the expressionless face of Maan,she could have been more comfortable even with a professional driver for that matter...by now she would have known his history and became friends already...
Dadi wants to break the ice for these too seem to be on a mauna vradh...
Dadi: it's so refreshing to come out in the sun after a longtime
Maan has taken his driving too seriously and never takes his eyes off the road even to see who is sitting beside...that's not what dadi wanted...
And this Geet is pretty happy to get the front seat and is enjoying it like a victorious 2nd std girl winning the front seat all for herself from his 4th std brother...
She is looking outside all the time and enjoying the sights rather than what she should have sighted given the opportunity to accompany themost wanted bachelor of Delhi according to dadi at least...
Dadi is skeptical that Geet also thinks like dadi...but dadi has to give her some time...for Geet is not calculative like some girls weighing the pocket of the guys and who are always desperate to get close to the MSK as a matter of fact...
Dadi is trying hard to start a conversation and this Geet puts an end to it with her shouts...
Geet: hare rukho rukho rukho
They are in the middle of a busy traffic and Maan almost gotta heart attack hearing her shrieks...
Maan slows down as he knows applying the breaks will lead to collisions behind...
Maan: what's wrong with you?
Maan shouts at her...
Dadi: Maan
Dadi stops him and she knows Geet is more than excited and what Dadi loves is this, her kiddish innocence and her honest expressions...she is still nave and doesn't know to wear that mask of dignity, diplomacy or civilization whatever it may be...
Geet goes on ignoring MSK altogether...
Geet: dadi, look, it's a beautiful park out there, let's got here na
She shows the park on the right...
Maan: you can't go anywhere just like that
Geet: I shouldn't have got into this car first of all, this seems to be a non-stop roller coaster
Maan couldn't believe it...what the hell does she think...that MSK should stop as and when she orders and even if he does stop ,how would she even get to that place jumping over the barrigade?
Geet: some people don't know how to live and don't let others also live, babaji aasie logong ko bhi aap ne hi banaya hai kya?
Maybe babaji wemt on leave that time leaving the job to his assitants...
Dadi: Maan bete, she's right, I aso want to feel the fresh air
Maan: what dadi? You too? What will you do in a public park
As if it's some alien land...yes, for Maan any place that is full of people is alien, he can't understand why people like social meetings...isski shadhi, usski namkaran, sharma ki grahapravesh...it's just gossiping and feasting all the time...then why wouldn't India be the diabetic capital of the world...
Geet: it's just a park not a jungle
But for Maan a jungle is more peaceful and beautiful without this madness...
Maan: you are right Ms.Geet, this is not a jungle that you park your car and jump out like tarzan as and when you wish
Geet: tarzan? Mein? And who's the Ape then? Someone resembles a GEM though
Luckily Maan doesn't now what is GEM...but Get and dadi exchange glances and smile to themselves...
Maan takes a U-turn and stops at the entrance...he helps Dadi out and returns to the car...
Dadi: Maan, it's a beautiful day and why don't you come with us for a change
Geet: you don't worry dadi, I'll take care of you
That itself scares Maan...Maan can't trust this stupid...she'll leave dadi and run after some butterfly...
Maan: I'll park the car and come Dadi, you wait for me
Maan gives a stern look to warn Geet not to move from that place come what may...
As Maan comes back he finds dadi left unattended and Geet missing...
Maan rushes to dadi's side...and Geet too arrives with colorfull cotton candies on both hands overjoyed as if it's some heavenly amrut smiling like a 4 yr old...
Maan: what are you doing? I was right, I knew you would do this only
Geet: what?
Maan: how can you be so irresponsible?
Get doesn't understand a word...she just blinks...
Maan: how can one be so stupid? You left Dadi for this?
Maan snatches the candies from her and she's so upset...so is dadi...
Dadi: Maan, stop, it's mine, give that to me
She knows he'll first dump it in the bin else...full of sugar...full of calories...and how unhygienic...straight from the dusty lane...but that's the fun...
Dadi tries to get that from his hands...
Maan is shocked to see dadi too behaving like a kid, in public!!!!!
Maan: where the hell am I struck?
Geet has already passed the rest to dadi...
Geet: here you go dadi
Dadi: thanks beta, I have been missing them since Khuranaji left
Dadaji used to get her all her favorite items while they strolled thru the streets in the cold winter evenings of Delhi...
Dev used to have all the fun with his grandparents while poor Maan was confined to his boarding school campus...but it's not all Maan's fault...with little Dev left under their care after their DIL died in an accident...thier father became a workaholic to forget his wife...he also soon followed her and went to his beloved Sheetal, not able to come out of that tragedy...
She is reminded of dadaji's favorite hot badam milk from one corner shop...
Maan: but dadi, you can't eat that
Dadi has already dug in...
Maan: what? I can't believe this, dadi, it's loaded with sugar
Geet: I like it dadi, and you should have seen that man making them, I think he just loves his job, he is overjoyed seeing the smiles on the kids that were lucky to got one of his first candies, I had to wait till the kids got their candies, it was so nice of him to give me this big candy tome for my patience
Dadi: oh I missed it, but this is so good, I'm loving it
Geet: hmm delicious
Maan looks at Geet's latest blush...that pinkish candy that she had all over her cheeks...
A smile slipped thru his lips without his knowledge watching Geet and he could only see a kinder garten kid instead... Maybe her brain stopped growing then itself...
A part of him has started admiring her while he is still not ready to acknowledge that...
Maan comes out of that madness and feels awkward seeing fully grown adults competing with children in that candy eating feast...
This whole society is insane...
Maan doesn't know why he chose to come with this girl even after knowing that she is sure to make a fool out of him with her madness...
Don't know how dadi likes her and loves her company...
Then they go ahead as Maan takes dadi's wheels while Geet walks along...
Geet is realy enjoying it and is excited to the plants in full bloom...it's fascinating to see such rich colors and so many varieties ofplants and flowers...
Geet is seeing some of them for the first time and runs towards each one of them to admire nature's wonders as if it's some magic...
Maan is confused as to what's new for it's the flowering season and it's expected for the plants to be at their full bloom...ithappens every season and it's part of life as they say...
However Maan has never taken the time off to waste in such minial things as he was busy in his job...
And to top it all Geet started taking pictures of those flowers to show it to Pinky later...
Thank god she didn't go on a selfie freak...
She did take some selfies with dadi...Maan stayed out of focus all the while causiosuly...
Geet too didn't bother him as she is happy looking at the beauties of nature trying to ignore his attitudes completely...still she couldn't stop noticing his strange behavior...he's nit only indifferent to her but with the whole world... one thing that strikes her is his contrast distancing from women in general, it's unbelievable considering the fact that he is the elder brother of Dev...
A group of beautiful young ladies on tour even caught Geet's attention but Maan didn't mind them at all...
Geet kept a watch on him while they were close to them as it did bother her but she didn't know why...
Our smart dadi didn't fail to make a note of it though...
A widow, Gauri met her long lost friend Omkara in a family function, who still ...
