Chapter 23

                   Part - 23

Still in the past... Delhi...

Maan has got an idea... He keeps driving faster and faster...

Whatever it is they should never find out that Geet was here....

Geet is confused by his actions and is scared... She doesn't know what would she do now? Rather what would Maan do now?

She keeps looking at the road... It's never ending...

Geet knows his plans... Yes, he is taking her back to Hoshiarpur... 

Geet suddenly starts shouting...

Geet: stop, stop, stop, stop the car

Maan pulls the car over in a hurry...

Maan: what happened?

Geet opens the door and tries to get out...

Maan quickly catches hold of her hand and stops her..

 He pulls her back to the car...

Geet: let me go

Maan: oh no no no no, you are not going anywhere, now close the damn door

Geet revolts by not obeying his orders... Maan starts moving the car anyway... She has to close the door now...

Maan: Geet as I promised I'm just trying to help you

Geet: you are helping me to get back to the jail from where I escaped

Geet is almost in tears... All her dreams are shattered...

Maan feels very bad for Geet...

Maan: you just listen to me one last time and I'll get you out of your so called jail and get you that admission when the time comes, now it's Annie's wedding time and I don't want to have any trouble

Geet understands his concerns and knows that he is right...

She then keeps quiet and falls asleep soon....

Meanwhile at the Handa house everyone is shocked to wake up with the news of their daughter absconding... 

The boy comes to see Geet a little earlier than the schedule and they accidentally find out that Geet has run away... They immediately cancel the wedding... Darji is pissed off... Ranno is inconsolable... She has been crying since morning... Brij and his friends are in the look out for Geet... 

Geet is comfortably sleeping while Maan is the one worried...

He doesn't even stop for refreshments as he knows he has to get to the destination before the Handa family....

He keeps looking at Geet often and is amused by her acts... He is determined to help her...

Geet finally wakes up from her little nap and she is hungry...

Geet looks at Maan and he is still looking very serious...

Maan: good noon Geet

Geet just stares as she doesn't know where they are...

Maan: what?

Geet looks at her tummy....

Maan smiles.... He is also feeling a little hungry...

Maan: open the dashboard

Geet opens it and finds energy bars... She wonders what kind of chocolates it is... She takes one and is not that bad... She munches on and takes the next one too...

She has been starving and one is not enough....

Maan keeps looking at her time to time and Geet then realises that he must also be hungry...

This is the last one and she feels a little guilty.... She should have asked him first....

Geet looks at him and asks... : aap ko bhi bhook lagi hogi?

Maan: a little

Geet: par I didn't know, sorry this is the last one

Maan: koi baat nahi

So saying Maan reaches to the bar, catches hold of her hand, brings it to his mouth and takes a bite...

Geet: but but you can't eat it

Maan: why? It's yummy

Geet gives it to him itself... How can she eat that now....

Only Teeto does like this if he wants Geet's chocolate... Geet wouldn't touch once he takes a bite...

Geet sees a restaurant and asks Maan to stop....

Maan knows they don't have that much time....

Maan: still hungry?

Geet: not me you are

Maan: we have to go

Maan keeps going... Finally they are here...

Geet is surprised that Maan has taken her to Amritsar instead of Hoshiarpur.... Maybe he thought that this is her favourite destination...

Geet is confused and she looks at odor answers...

Maan:  Geet this is very very serious, listen to me carefully, you just pretend that you are coming from Hoshiarpur

Geet listens to him and obviously she should know how serious it is better than Maan ....

Maan: you tell them that you are going to stay here until your family agrees to fulfill your demand

She has come with her luggage haina? 

Geet doesn't understand...

Maan: hare don't you want to join college?

Now it's clear.... 

Maan continues.. : you just stop worrying and most importantly stop thinking of any stupid plans, I will take care of it from now, think about your college life and be happy, I'll get you into college very soon

Geet at last has a smile on her face... She believes each and every word he said....

Maan drops her at the bus terminal as usual and waits... 

Geet calls lucky and goes with him...

Geet tells everyone that she would leave her Nani's home only to go to college... 

Her Nani tells darji that they can't take Geet from Amritsar against her wish....

Geet stays at Amritsar waiting for Maan....

Present times.... Mumbai....

Geet's efforts to get Pari close to Maan is working slowly and steadily...

Maan waits for Pari and takes her with him to the office unlike before when she has to catch a taxi or Geet gives her a lift...

Maan himself takes time to take Pari for lunch or dinner...

He is happy to take a break from the hectic schedule and relax... He has got a good friend in Pari... She understands him better and gives him the space he needs...

Geet is also happy to see the changes in Maan...

Geet takes Pari to Aditi's school function... Aditi gets attached to Pari instantly and Pari loves Aditi...

Pari is not happy with Geet for not introducing Aditi all these days...

Pari then takes the job of keeping Aditi engaged when Geet is too busy... 

Pari takes her out to the park one day, to the mall one day and to all Aditi's favourite places...

They go to the beach and Pari too becomes a kid playing with Aditi...

After all these days no one not Maan not Geet but Aditi has taken Pari on a tour of Mumbai...

Pari is happy to spend with Aditi... She doesn't want to disturb Maan anyways.... She might have gone back to Delhi but Maan( Geet ) 

wants her to stay for the launch party.....

Maan also doesn't have time for Pari at all... It's just two days for the launch and most of the work is done but still Maan wants everything to go well..

Mohan has come and he too likes Pari very much... Dadi has told him about her plans already...

Everyone in the khurana pariwar is just waiting for the good news...

Dadi would reveal the good news at Pari's brother's wedding... She has already begun talks with Annie and her sasuraal... All are happy and only wait for Pari's decision...

Pari has been sending positive signals to Annie already... Annie is too happy...

Everyone but Maan is ready and they just can't wait....
