                                                       Part - 53

Maan has ordered a banquet for lunch....

It's only Geet and Dev but Maan wants to make sure each and every favorite dish of Geet is on the menu....

Maan is ready to welcome Geet home.... yes, this time Maan is not going to let Geet go away from him...

Maan awaits Dev's call....

The driver is already at the terminal....

The flight must have landed an hour ago....

Dev calls....

Maan: halo Dev, tum log aagaye?

Dev: haan

Maan: itne dher kyun ho gayi? sab teek haina?

Dev: it's all the pandemic fear, there's a lot of protocols

Maan: it's ok, that's why I wanted you to come soon, it'll only worsen

Dev: that's so thoughtful of you

Maan: don't hire a taxi, driver is waiting, be careful

Dev: I know, give me the driver's no

Maan gives the drivers number and they come to the guest house safely....

Geet thinks that it must be arranged by Pari.....

Geet: Dev apne Pari ko bathadiya ki hum pohunchgye?

Dev: Pari ko patha nahi hai Geet, usko call mat karna

Geet: kya? toh phir hum kahan aaye hai?

Maan just comes to receive his special guests....

Maan: welcome to Delhi Dev

Dev: hi Maan, finally we are here

Maan: hope you have a fine stay here

Maan keeps looking at Geet....

Geet is stunned as she didn;t expect Maan and she couldn't miss that extreme change in Maan's look...

Somethings wrong.... Maan looks pumped up and determined....

what's his plan?

Dev: wow Maan, you look a lot younger and sexy, looks like you have got a naya josh, pyaar ka jadhu hi kuch aur hai, haina?

Maan: true, pyaar insaan ko kamzoor bhi bana saktha aur takat bhi de saktha

Dev: Pari is one lucky girl I must say, you know what Geet,it's all Maan's idea to get us here earlier

Geet thinks that something is fishy....

Dev: Maan is planning a big B'day surprise for Pari, isn't that lovely?

Geet: it's strange that people change so quickly 

Geet is a little jealous too.....

Maan: kya karein? pyaar humme kab aur kaise badaltha ye toh humme  patha bhi nahi chaltha

Dev: tum toh pagal deewana ho gaye ho Maan, congrats, welcome to the crazy world of love

Maan: I'm not new to the madness of love, actually I've been hit by the love bug long back and yet to recover, I think I've been permanently infected and it looks like there is no cure

Dev: this pandemic has made the medical lingo trendy

Geet: I'm happy that you found love at last,all the very best for your love life

Maan: thanks Geet, i need your wishes badly

Geet: Dev, Aditi must be hungry

Maan: haan, you people freshen up, I'll get the table set, come on in,

Maan takes them to the guest room

Maan: I think this must be good enough for you two, Dev, how about sharing the room with me? sorry, this place has got only two rooms

Dev: that works for me, don't worry we'll adjust, haina Geet?

Geet: haan, this is fine for us

Maan: Ok Dev, come let's go upstairs, our room is there

Maan has deliberately put them in different rooms.....

Maan leaves Dev and comes down....

He goes to Geet's room and knocks....

Maan: Aditi tayaar ho gayi?

Geet: haan, kyun?

Maan: I'll take Aditi so you can get ready 

Geet: that's not a problem, we'll manage

Maan: Geet, Am I looking like a kidnapper or what?

Maan gets really angry this time.....

Geet lets Aditi go with Maan.....

Maan takes her to the garden and lets her play with the puppy....

Aditi has easily got attached to Maan....

Geet comes after getting ready to take Aditi for lunch...

Aditi is eating her sandwich which Maan specially made for her with lots of cheese watching the puppy play catch the ball....

Geet too stands there admiring little Aditi eating on her own watching Maan feeding the dog every time it brings the ball back to Maan and having a bite herself when Maan turns back and signals....

Maan has taught her to have a bite each time he gives a biscuit for the puppy....

Dev too comes and he asks Geet to let Aditi play with the puppy while they can go finish the lunch....

Geet is surprised that Maan remembered that she likes the tender coconut kheer that Nakul makes and has brought it from KM for Geet....

Maan can't forgot even the minute detail when it comes to Geet.........

Aditi is happy to have got a new friend.......

Aditi: what's her name?

Adit asks Maan looking at the cute puppy....

Maan: it's not her, it's him, I don't know, why don't you chose a name for him?

Aditi thinks for a whie....: tinku

Maan: tinku, tinku likes Aditi

Aditi: Aditi likes tinku

Maan: oh that's good, Maan loves Aditi

Aditi: Aditi loves Geet

Maan: that's ok, Maan too loves Geet

Maan smiles and hugs Aditi..... children are so pure and innocent....

how Maan wishes that we could stay like that forever....

Geet was like that when Maan first met her, but time snatches that innocence from us somehow....

The father daughter duo have fun on their own....
