Next day Geet goes to KM…

Annie is so happy… the two of them sit and chat for hours…

Sheetal made Geet’s favorite chocolate cake…

Kiran made all her favorite dishes…

Geet had got some gift for everyone…

Dadi had received a beautiful Ganesha idol…

Dadi: what did you get for Maan?

Geet: woh woh

Annie comes to her rescue…

Annie: sshh dadi, ye aapas ki baat hai, don’t ask

Dadi smiles…

Geet: toh Annie, what was your first gift from Arvind?

Arvind is Annie’s mangetar… it’s an arranged marriage…

The marriage is a couple of months away…

Annie: tum pehle bathao, phir mein bathathi hoon

Geet: achcha, ye andar ki baat hai, chalo issko bhool jaathe

What did Maan actually gift her for the first time?

Geet ko yaad hai, it was a teddy on her 8th birthday.. she doesn’t remember before that…

But he never failed to gift something special on her birthdays… but everything has changed now..

Neither does she celebrate her birthday now nor does he gift her anything…

No one but only Maan knows why she has stopped celebrating her birthday…

Times change and so do people…

Annie: Geeet Geeeet kahan kho gayi ho? Bhai ki khayaal mein, do saal unko bhool gayi thi aur ab do din bhi bhool nahi sakti? Bhai ne iss 7 din mein aaisa kya kamaal kardhiya hai?

Annie winks ..

Poor Annie doesn’t know anything about her bhai….

Geet: tu batha, wedding ka kya plans hai? aur kya theme hai? Arvind se baat hui kya? Unko kya pasand hai? Aur tum kya chahthi ho?

Annie: don’t ask me anything, I hate all this, I just want everything to be perfect, I’ll just come like a princess for the wedding, bakhi sab tum aur bhai sambalo, mujh se nahi hoga, Arvind ki baat hi mat karna, mein north pole hoon toh woh south pole, hummari kuch bhi nahi banthi

Geet: aaise kaise? Mujhe Arvind se kab millaoge?

Annie: you should have already known him, he is bhai’s business colleague

Geet: what? Uss ka surname kya hai?

Geet is shocked, ye uss Rahul se related toh nahi?

Annie: hare tumme patha nahi?

Geet: you address him as Arvind always, how would I know?

Annie: Maan bhai should have told you

Geet: I don’t talk to him about all that

Annie: I know, tum log ko apne baat karne ka hi time nahi hoga, dusron ki baat kaise karoge?

Geet: ab tum jaldhi bathao

Annie: Arvind khanna

Thank God, that is Rahul Khandelwal…

Geet is relieved…. Geet bal bal bach gayi…

Annie: we’ll meet him soon, he has gone to some conference, let him come back

Geet: done

Next week Maan is busy with that Jawan’s project…

Geet is also ready with her secret weapon….

Romeo comes with the name plates…

He fixes the one “Maan Singh Khurana. M.D.” on Maan’s cabin and the other one, “ Geet Khurana. C.E.O.” on Geet’s cabin… .

Geet is really pissed off looking at the name plate ..

Geet shouts: ye kiska kaam hai

Adi: Romeo

Geet: Romeo

Romeo comes running…

Geet: ye kya hai?

Geet shouts at him…

Romeo: mein nahi, Maan sir

Geet: kya?

Romeo: Maan sir ne kaha tha lagane ki

Geet goes to see Maan…

Geet knocks. …

Maan: come in

Maan: kyun? Achcha haina?

Geet: kya achcha hai?

Maan: uss Romeo ne phir se gadbad kardhi

Maan: Geet Khurana, C.E.O.

Geet: ye aaisa kyun hai?

Geet is fuming…

Maan takes her inside her cabin…

Maan: tummari problem kya hai Geet?

Geet: ye, ‘Geet Khurana” likha hai iss mein

Masn: Khuarana Constructions hai toh Geet Khurana hi sahi hoga, warna tum phir kahoge ki company ka naam mera kyun nahi hai ?

Geet: I hate you Mr. M.D.

Maan: toh C.E.O. se bhi problem hai

Geet: C.E.O. matlab, mein appke neeche kaam karthi hoon kya?

Maan: it’s not about the posts Geet, it’s about the individuals, it depends upon their ability that who is more powerful, you know, we have had both powerful and also weak PMs, you understand the difference now?

Geet: let’s see, who is more powerful

Maan immediately catches hold of her and brings her closer…

Geet couldn’t stop him…

Maan: koi shak?

Geet: chodo mujhe

Maan: nahi chodoonga toh

Geet: ye office hai

Maan: mujhe patha hai Geet, mein iss office ka M.D. hoon
