Maan immediately calls Dev.....

Maan: halo Dev

Dev: Maan bathao

Maan: Dev tum log kab aarahe ho?

Dev: pehle tum bathao ki tum kab aarahe ho? tummara flight Sunday haina?

Maan: I just called to tell you a secret, I'm not going back

Dev: what? what a pleasant surprise?

Maan: aur iss secret ko secret hi rehne do, I want to surprise everyone

Dev: I know Pari tumme jaane nahi degi, haina?

Maan: actually the surprise is for Pari, tum Geet ko please mat bathana, you know how good girls are to keep secrets

Dev: ok ok I understand

Maan: I want you to come to Delhi immediately

Dev: why? abhi aake kya karenge?

Maan: I'll tell you when you come, you'll love it, Geet bhi yahan sabse milke kush hogi

Dev: I don't know what Geet would say, Aditi itne din kahin bahar nahi gayi

Maan: don't worry, Aditi'll be loved by everyone here, she'll also enjoy it

Dev: Ok, I'll talk to Geet and confirm

Maan: remember don't tell Geet about me staying back for Pari

Dev: tum toh mardhon ko bhi shak karthe ho

Maan: Ok I'll wait for your confirmation

Dev: I'll try my best to be there for the weekend

Maan: no trying, you'll be there, I don't know how you'll manage Geet, it's a tough job

Dev: you've read Geet perfectly within the short span

Maan: I've just started to understand Geet better

Dev: what?

Maan: I mean, I've just started to understand girls better, Pari ki training I think

Dev: that's true

Maan: Ok see you soon

Dev: bye

Maan has got a lot of work to do.... Geet ko manana itna aasaan nahi hoga Mr.MSK.....

yahan Pari toh Maan ke peeche hi padi hai.....

Maan has to balance everything so that his plan works out smoothly.....

Pari is his trump card in this game to win Geet....

Pari: Maan, how do I look in this dress?

Maan: good

Pari: only good, then i've to change then

Pari runs and changes .......

Maan tries to hide from her.......

Pari has a lot of spies in the Khurana family and so he easily finds him.....

Pari: what about this dress?

Maan: this dress is perfect

Pari: what? Am i not looking perfect?

Pari runs again to change............

Maan doesn't know how to satisfy Pari....

ek Geet thi jisko aaisa sajna sawarna aatha hi nahi aur usko woh zaroorat bhi nahi hai....

Maan would swoon every time Geet comes in front of him irrespective of her dress and make up....

For the record Geet has only got more beautiful over the years, maybe it's her motherhood....

Or maybe Maan has missed her so much in these years that she looks even more seductive for his eyes.....

Pari comes in a beautiful yellow salwar this time.....

Maan: wow Pari, I love yellow and you look literally like an Angel

Pari blushes...... she is so happy....

This is what every boy who tries to hit on her tells her, but she wanted to hear it from Maan....

aaj ka kota pura ho gaya aur Maan thoda aaram kar saktha......

Maan goes and meets Annie, the one whom he can trust would be happy to receive Geet....

Annie: bhai, lagtha hai Pari pagal ho gayi aapke pyaar mein, aaj tak DIya ne bhi mujhe itna tang nahi kiya hai, aap toh gaye

Maan just smiles....

Maan: Geet, tumme yaad hai ki Sunday kya hai?

Annie: Sunday haliday hai

Maan: hare Geet, Sunday koi special day hai

Annie thinks for a while.....

Annie: aapka B'day toh December main hai, aaur ye toh March hai

Maan: March 15 Pari's b'day

Annie: mujhe patha hai bhai, I was just teasing you, aap achanak se itna kaise badal gaye?

Maan: waqt sabko badal hi detha hai Annie

Annie: woh toh hai

Maan: tum Pari se yahi maintain karna ki mein Sunday ko wapas jaa raha hoon, mein aaj hi Mumbai jaa raha hoon

Annie: kya?

Maan: hare Pari se mein aaisa hi joot bolne wala hoon

Annie: woh toh teek hai'

Maan: aur Sunday meine usko ek surprise plan kiya hai

Annie is so happy.....finally Maan is happy so the entire family is happy.....

Annie: bhai aapko aaise kush dekhke kitne din ho gaye, I'm so glad that you changed your mind', thanks to Pari....

Annie goes and hugs Maan............

only Maan knows who is behind all this sudden change in his attitude........

Maan goes and stays in their guest house in the suburbs...

Maan has to get it ready for Dev and Geet to stay......

Maan doesn't want Geet to meet the others until the wedding day.....

No one would be happy to see her with Dev.....

So Maan has made arrangements for their stay at the guest house....

Maan is already going ahead of the plans but what about Dev?

There is no call from him yet........

Maan is little worried for no one knows about Geet's mood swings these days........

Maan has another aide to help him with that too, Lucky.....

Maan asks Lucky to speak to Geet.........

Lucky calls Geet.......

Lucky: didi aap kaise ho? abhi aap kush haina?

Geet: ye tum achanak se aaise kyun pooch rahe ho?

Geet ko thoda shak ho gaya, Lucky is not that mature to understand her problems....

Lucky: woh unhone hi kaha aap se poochne ko

Geet: kaun?

Lucky: shanno woh Nandhini aap ke barein mein sunke bahut kush ho gayi, aur pareshaan bhi ho gayi thi

Geet: ho Nandhini kahan hai?

Lucky: woh abhi abhi sasuraal wapas gayi, woh kabhi yahan aur kabhi wahan apne mood se rehthi, aur ab petse bhi haina, issiliye jijaji usko kabhi bhi aane dethe hai

Geet: Nandhini petse hai

Geet ye sunke bahut kush ho jaathi.....

Lucky: haan, 5 mahina ho gaya, bahut moti bhi ho gayi kha kha ke

Geet laughs.........: woh kab pathli thi?

Lucky: ab aap dekhoge toh dar jaoge, aur aapki choti bachi, usska naam kya hai?

Geet: Aditi

Lucky: haan Aditi toh usko bhoot samajke rothi bhi hogi kahin ussne abhi Nandhini ko dekha toh

Geet: aaisa nahi kehthe lucky, ab jijaji naraz ho jayenge ye sunke

Lucky: nahi nahi woh toh mere side hai

Geet: achcha, kash mein bhi wahan hothi, kitna achcha hoga, haina?

Lucky: toh aap kyun nahi aathe yahan?

Geet: woh mein phir kabhi aaoongi

Lucky: aap Delhi mein hothi toh hum kab chahe mil sakhte, Nandhini ki tarah

Geet: Nandhini Delhi mein hai

Lucky: haan

Geet can't help but think about what would her life be like had her marriage with Maan happened as per plan.......

Aditi would have been the luckiest daughter for Maan would have treated her like a princess or even more than that, he even treated Geet like a princess, took care of her always, protected her and showered her with love in his own way.... he is a man of less words and more action....

More than anything else Geet misses his gentle touches that calms her, like his holding her hand or pulling her closer when they are walking and Geet drifts seeing a chat stall or something....

Now Maan's hands are tied for Geet is not Maan's anymore.....

He maintains a dignified distance and that too kills Geet....

waqt kitna badal gaya?

Lucky has done his job, he has invited Geet as per Maan's orders.....

Now Geet'll think again to say no to come to Delhi....  she would at least wish to see her little sister who is going to be a mother......

Maan's next arrow is Nandhini only.....
