Geet ...ek minute ..
Geet was just passing by maan's study with some card sheets and glue they required in prem's science project which she was doing currently with prem after their afternoon spent with the video game ofcource maan won the level with prem but soon after that he was back to the old mood therefore geet busied him with his project making him cut the shapes n sketch n draw its been an hour n the project work was almost finished just the pasting left
She entered his study with all the stuff in her hand ...n hit the chair' foot ..
Ouch ...
Sambhaal ke ...
Geet was crounched down with everything around her on the dark blue Persian carpet ...wincing from the hit ...n maan immediately came to her side n knelt beside her ...holding her other hand while she held her ankle from the other ...
Ahh ...lag gaya ..
Tu kis ne kaha tha itna sab ek saath lekar jaane ko ..kisi ko help karne ko nahi keh sakti thi tum ...(geet caressed the ankle trying to sooth the pain when maan kept a hand on hers' making her shudder with the sudden contact) ..let me see ..
Maan held her from her shoulder n made her sit on the chair she just got hit from ..geet kept looking at him in wonder ...his care ..his affection all making her heart beat like crazy ... the guy who keeps the world on the tip of his shoes was on his knees in front of her rubbing her ankle gently holding it in his hand ... She was again feeling the same shuddering heart ...the butterflies in her stomach ...having him so close ...his touch making her squirm in the chair ...n she snatched her foot the revolving chair skidded back with her force n all of a sudden maan became aware of his actions ...n looked up at her ...bad thinking ...!!
She was looking at him all the while n their gaze got stuck ...his was concerned while hers' were confused ...scared even ...!! Confused with his tenderness ...his care this affection scared her ...her feeling ...this hyperventilated heart scared her ...her own desires to ask him why is he like this scared her ...the questions were on the tip of her tongue n not being able to voice them made her eyes misty with tears n she looked away not being able to again believe what she thought she was seeing in those deep brown eyes staring right into her soul ...he sat there still looking at her ...the thought of her pain gets all the rational thinking out of his brain giving charge to his heart n every time he ends up here looking at her tearing into shreds ...feeling the conflict in her eyes those questions on her face praying she won't voice them n yet wishing she would understand his silence ...n then realizing what a hurtful place he have made them both land into ...!!
Kabhi tum hum ko apne lagte ho
Kabhi tum bheer mien ek ajnabi lagte ho
Kabhi tum pyaar jatate ho
Kabhi tum bina baat rooth jaate ho
Hum kya samjhein kya sochien
Dhoop chawoon mien tum abb
Hum ko ek parchaai jaise lagte ho
Saath hukar bhi saath nahi
Door hukar bhi door nahi
Kabhi tum hum ko apne lagte ho
Kabhi tum bheer mien ek ajnabi lagte ho
Geet stood up n so did maan ...they both looked away n then geet bend down n started collecting the scattered sheets n other items ...maan tried helping her going at some distance where the glue bottle had slided ...
Wohh aapko ...aapko kuch kehna tha ..??
Umm ...han wohh prem ...wohh theek hai na bas yeh hi pochna tha ...
Geet took the bottle he gave n sat on the carpet rolling the sheets properly ...
Abhi tu theek hai ...but pata nahi
Maan huffed in frustration n sat opposite to her arranging the water paints back in its box ..
I can't believe he is so low just coz of this singing competition ...agar karate hute ya speech huti or even this project I would have understood this reaction but singing ...like really ..??
Geet sat quietly thinking the same ...
Last year k saare competition prem ne jeete hain school mien ..
Yeah except for the cooking one ..
Geet smiled at his frowning face ...clearly not happy loosing that ..but then continued ...
Aapko yaad hai last month jab yeh competition huya tou prem kaafi excited tha I guess ..i mean I was so sure k yeh bhi competition wohh hi jeete ga ...
Yeah I know but life mien har competition aap jeeto yeh zarori nahi n he needs to get this k aa har sport ya art work mien best nahi hu sakte ..no matter what ..!!
I know but he's just 10 ..itna asaan nahi huga usko yeh samjhana ..
But karna tu huga geet ...warna har baar he will be like this after loosing a competition ...
Maan sir abb wohh koi adult tu hai nahi k we will sit n talk to him n it will get in his brain ...I tried okie ...I really did but he's a kid after all ...kuch aur sochna parega ...
Hmm ...but abhi uska mood kaise theek Karen ..??
Umm ..sochte hain kuch ...
Maan handed over the paint box to her n she gathered the things n stood up to walk away n then turned just before the door ...
Idea ...
Idea ...
Geet smiled n so did maan hearing the same from each other n she came back ...
**^^**
Maan walked downstairs busying texting on his mobile when he saw dadi maa sitting in the hall alone watching some tv ...he picked up the sandwich placed on the coffee table in front n sat by her side ..
So how is your NGO work going ..??
She smiled n turned the volume down so they could have a chat ..
Very well ...aap sunaiye aap dono ka mission poora huya ya nahi ..??
Matlab ..??
Maan bte abb prem ka mood off hu tou aap aur geet sakoon se tu rehte nahi hain ...so tell me kahan lee ja rahe hain usko ..i can u dressed up ...
Hmm ...gaming zone ...he was telling last week he wanted to go but u know meetings n all ...so I thought why not today ...uska mind distract hujaiga besides geet ne uska project almost karwa diya hai n he can do the homework tomorrow it Sunday ...
Acha plan hai ...but maan humien lagta hai aapko prem se baat karni chahiye ..humara matlab hai bache iss age mien competition haarna dil par lete hain but aise upset hona sab ghussa karna its not good ...
Dadi maa ..relax geet ne baat karli hai uss se n I am sure after coming back he will be fine ...
Aap mujhe yeh batiye aniee kahan ghayab hai jab se aaya hoon I haven't seen her ..
Pochiye mat maan ..subha se madam gayi hui hain apne friends k saath kal ki presentation achi hugayi na ...bas celebration shoro ...
Hmm ...let me call her ..pata nahi kahan hai its already 5:30 in the evening ..
But before he could dial her number prem came running from the stairs n he heard geet shouting from upstairs ..
Prem stop running on the stairs ...
Maan hugged him as he collided with him ...n made him sit beside him ..
Bad habit big boy ...u shouldn't be running like that ..
Chachu I thought we are getting late ...
No we aren't n even if we were u are not suppose to run like that ...
Geet came huffing n sat down on the next couch ...
Lagi tu nahi ...
Prem shook his head ..
geet aunty mien theek hoon ...
geet smiled n held her arms open while he came towards her n she straightened his shirts' collar ...
now handsome u are all set to leave ...
dadi maa hum log dinner se pehle aajainge ..
theek hai bte enjoy ur selves ...
oh thankgod aap sab mujhe yahin mil gaye ..
they all turned to see aniee entering the grand hall ...
bhai pehle aap mujhe yeh batao aapki aaj koi dinner meeting tu nahi hai na ...actually aapse kya pochna ...geettum btao bhai ki koi con. Call anything ...
they all looked so confused at the way she had started in bullet train speed interrogation questions however she shook her head ..
not that I know of ...
great tu bhai u have no reasons to refuse ...
aniee refuse what ..??
dinner ..??
they all gave her a total confused look like "What are you talking about" and she sighed finally taking a breath n sitting by geet's side ...
ok so here goes ...u all know Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is my favorite singer ..
currently ...
geet maan n dadi smiled at prem's remark while aniee glared at him ..
shut your trap prem ill smack ur ass real hard ...this serious !!
Aniee ..
geet admonished her while she made a baby face n prem showed her his tongue annoying her however she choose to ignore him ..
well what I wanted to say is he is coming to the opening of this new restaurant n I've got the table booked for us ..n bhai before you even try to refuse let me tell you I have spent last 3 hours arranging for it so can't refuse no matter what ...
maan looked at prem who was frowning then at aniee who was glaring at him he knew he can't refuse any of them ..he tried to see if dadi maa would help him but seeing the way she was hiding her smile n failing to was enough to let him know she won't be able to n then he saw geet looking at him expecting him to do something even though worry n confusion mared her face as well he sat back frustrated ...
what now stop looking at me like that geet ...u know I have promised prem to take him to the gaming zone today ...
han tou u can take him tomorrow ...dinner bookings tu kal ki nahi milengi na ..
NO ..why ...why do you always have to do this to me aniee BUA ..
Prem stop calling me bua ...
No I will BUA... BUA... BUA... BUA... BUA...
Prem stop it bte she's ur elder ...
Then don't she act like one ...geet aunty never do this to me n she ...she is pure devil ...
Prem that's bad language ...apologize already ..
No chachu she always spoils my plans ...
See geet ...how much of a spoilt brat he has become ...n u all tell me that I am the one behaving badly ...at his age I could never speak like that ...
Aniee bacha hai ..
So ...doesn't mean he can act all stubborn always ..
Alright that's enough both of u ...I guess with this kind of attitude u both aren't going any where ...enjoy fighting with each other the whole weekend ...
Bhai ...
But chachu mene kya kara ...she is the one ...//
Geet kept a hand on prem's shoulder n stopped him from talking further knowing maan was going to loose his temper ..thankfully he got a call right that moment n he went away towards the window while aniee walked to the kitchen ...prem sighed n sat on maan's place almost about to cry ..
Geet looked at dadi n she nodded n left the place to talk to aniee ..
Prem ...look at me ..
He did ... only to confirm geet's suspicion having tears glistening in his eyes ...
Mene kya kara geet aunty ...she was the one trying to spoil it all ..
Baby come here ...
She held his hand n made him come over to where she was sitting ..n hugged her lightly ..
She didn't knew prem ...aniee ko nahi pata tha that u n chachu were going out ...
N besides she is your elder n u know this very well chachu doesn't like u misbehaving with others ...
Specially a girl ..
But ...//
No prem this time ...I m not gonna side with u ..
Have u ever seen chachu shouting on aniee ...calling her names ..
Prem shook his head n looked down ...
Then how could you call her devil ...
Do you even know what a devil is ..
Prem shook his head n looked at her innocently blurting out ..
I heard a classfellow saying this to other ...
Prem before adopting anything in your life u must know if that things is good or bad for u ...not just this single word but everything u listen to or like around you u must first check if it's a good thing or bad ...
See ur harsh tone n misbehavior got ur chachu so upset ...
Are you happy seeing this ..??
Prem frowned n shook his head ...
I am sorry geet aunty I just got angry ...I thought chachu would agree to aniee di's plan ...
So what ..?? even if he would have ..
u don't get the right to shout on elders like that or behave the way you do ..
but humara plan pehle bana than a ...
han baby but tell me why were you going with chachu to gaming zone ...to have fun right ..?? (prem nodded confused) ..n chachu himself had selected the place ..
han par ..//
par kya prem ...agar chachu aapko gaming zone ki jaga wohh restaurant bhi lekar jaate tu wahan bhi tu maza aata na ...sab log saath mien ..musical night ...tou kyun sirf iss liye k aniee ki baat nahi maani jaye aapne itna boora bhave kiya ...this isn't what you have been taught ...
prem looked down n geet looked away not knowing how to get the happy mood back this weekend seems to get even shittier ...
n then prem looked at her n tried to turn her face in his direction with his cute little hand ...
sorry ...
geet smiled seeing him holding his ears cutely ...n hugged him ..
prem is really a nice n well mannered kid ..but he also has inherited his chachu's temper n stubbornness ...but he never hesitates to accept his mistakes once he realizes his fault he would immediately want to correct it or at least apologize to the person concerned but this competition stuff just made him all the more cranky ...get understands it but how will maan ...she parted n smiled at him ..
its ok but ghussa mien nahi chahu hain ...tu unko sorry bolo jaakar ...
prem looked scared n she could tell that just by the way he cautiously glanced at maan still talking on the call n then at her ...
don't worry chachu aap par kabhi zaiada naraaz nahi hu sakte ..
aap bhi saath chalo na ..
uski koi zarorat nahi hai ..my prem is a big guy now ..n top of all chachu really loves him ...so he will surely forgive him ..okie now go ...go there n wait for him to finish the call ...
prem nodded n started walking with slow steps towards him ...geet could see his fingers crossed at his back but she smiled n encouraged him every time he turned to see if she was there or he could turn back ..
prem was pleading her to come n stand with him with eyes when maan got off his call n saw prem standing there ...geet looked away so did prem stood facing maan ..
wohh ..chachu I ...I am really sorry ..mujhe aise ...aise baat nahi karni chahiye thi ..
maan was about to give him a good lecture on manners when geet stood n cleared her throat noisily getting maan's attention successfully n pleaded him to let it go ...folding her hands n giving him a pleading look ...
maan huffed in irritation but then may be she herself has given him a good dose ..coz he knew his son ...n his stubborn nature as well ..it takes more than few words to get him to admit his fault ..
well young man u should be saying this to the girl u just called devil ...
prem looked up at him with puppy dog eyes hoping he won't make him do that but maan stood with a determined glare n motioned him to turn n he did only to see aniee walking out of the kitchen with dadi maa by her side ...he started walking towards her n stood in front of her with her hung low ..
I am sorry aniee di ...
Aniee sighed n bent to his level n made him look at her ..
I am sorry too champ ...mujhe nahi pata tha tumhara aur bhai ka plan hai ..pata huta tu dinner booking kal ki karati ...I am sorry ..
They hugged n finally geet sighed in relief not realizing she was actually holding her breath all the while ...
Bhai I am sorry I shouldn't have talked like that in front of you all ...
Maan nodded n smiled at her n walked to hug them both ..prem in his embrace hanging while aniee wrapped in his other arm ...geet smiled seeing the moment part of her wanted to capture this on her mobile ...if only the world could see the heartless business man right this moment ..
Chachu wohh ...hum ...hum bahar jayenge na ...
Maan gave him a stern look n he looked down ...while geet bit her lips not knowing if maan would change his decision ..while aniee pleaded
Please bhai aap aise apna plan spoil mat kijeye ...aap prem ko lekar gaming zone jaiye ill cancle my booking ...n pakka next time aise nahi karenge hum ...right prem ...?
The little boy nodded hoping maan would agree ...
Okie ..
Yeah ..chachu u are the best ..
Prem hugged him around his neck making every one finally relax ...while aniee picked up her mobile ..
What are u doing aniee ..??
Bhai wohh booking cancle ..
Uski koi zarorat nahi hai ..
Matlab ...
Matlab its 6pm ...hum log restaurant directly aajayenge n we'll join u both there ..
Really ..? u'll do that bhai ...??
Maan smirked at her squealing like a 10 years old while she ran n hugged him back ...
Oh I love you bhai ..its gonna be so much fun tonight ...
Geet picked her bag from the couch n was saying good bye to dadi when aniee asked surprised
Where you going ...I thought u were going with prem n bhai ..
Nahi aniee I ...//
KYUN ...??
Geet turned to the two khurana men glaring at her ...confused n frowning making her gulp her saliva she didn't knew she was part of maan's plan ...when they discussed it earlier in the study ...n maan ofcourse thought it was obvious she was going to come ...prem stepped down from maan's embrace n stodd holdin ggeet's hand ..
Please geet aunty humare saath chalo na ...we'll have so much fun ..yaad hai last time bhi kitna maza aaya tha ..
Prem mien kaise ...///
Kyun u have any where to go ..??
Geet shook her head at the thick commanding voice of her boss n his sharp glare ..
Good then u are coming with us ..prem aap apne geet aunty ko lekar bahar aaiye tab tak mien gaari nikaalta hoon ..
Prem looked at maan n then at geet ...while geet stood there gaping at his audiocity to order her like that ...maan walked away smirked at her tomato red face knowing fully well that she must be giving good 3-4 punjabi gallis ...n cursing him ...
Chalo na geet aunty jaldi bahar chalo ...
Geet gave prem a fake smile actually cursing maan ..
Dusht danav kahin ke ...poch nahi sakte ..order de kar chale gaye ..after all maan singh khurana ki shaan jo kam hujaigi mujh se pochne mien ...babaji aap ne bhi na pata nahi kahan laakar phasaya hai ..koi aur nahi mila tha mere liye aapko ..
Geet frowned n looked away only to see dadi maa walking away shaking her head with a smile while aniee chuckling lightly by her side ..
Stop it aniee ...don't u dare
N that was enough to make aniee laugh like crazy n she ended up hugging geet sideways ..adoring the cute lady who has the maturity like no one else n yet she innocent like a child ...
Aww ...geet u r the cutest person in my life ...
N ur brother is ...///
She saw prem standing there n shut her mouth ..
Chaddo ...jaa rahi hoon mien ..
Ek minute ...aise jaogi tum ..??
Prem looked at aniee frowning n geet looked at herself confused ..
Aniee di's we are getting late chachu already bahar gaye ..
Prem my dear child tum ready huye na ...(he nodded confused hearing her so extra sweet) ..bhai bhi ready huye ..
Hain tu ...//
Hai tu yeh k abb geet bhi ready hugi jao aur jakar boldo bhai ko wait Karen 5 minute ...
Aniee di ..''
GO PREM ...NOW
Prem twisted his lips n started walking away ..
Jaldi aana geet aunty ..
Standing on the door he shouted ..
Bye Badi Dadi ...Bye Aniee ...BUA
N ran away ...making aniee furious n geet laugh at his antics ...
