                 Part – 21

Next day Geet and Annie meet Arvind at a restaurant…

Arvind is a nice guy, equally innocent as Annie…

He is a geek, done a degree at IIT and the next at IIM…

Annie was right, just opposite to Annie….

But they are made for each other… they love each other so much…

Geet is happy for Annie….

Annie tells him that Geet and Maan mean everything for her and Arvind should respect their inputs on the wedding planning… they would represent Annie…

Arvind is a little skeptical about meeting Maan but he is comfortable with Geet… she looks very friendly….

Geet likes the soft spoken Arvind… he will have a great time with our chatterbox Annie…

Already Annie is doing all the talking and Arvind is a good listener… perfect match…

Arvind is desi in love matter too… he gives Annie cards it seems …

Annie asked Geet to select some cards with beautiful wordings for Arvind’s birthday as she had no idea in all that literature… Annie is from the texting gen, she doesn’t believe in Shakespeare and Keats…

Geet suggest that Annie wrote something simple personally instead….

Annie too liked the idea and asked Geet to write something for her… that card idea looked like the better option now…

Geet itna personal hai ki woh aaise dusron ki pyaar mein kaise interfere karegi?

Geet suggested a few ideas and made Annie write on her own…

Next day they had a small party at a hotel…

Arvind invited Geet and Maan too…

Geet doesn’t like such parties, specially after that incident…

But she had to go to this party…

Maan comes to meet Geet…

Maan: Geet, aaj shamko party hai, yaad haina?

Geet: hmm

Geet doesn’t sound good…

Maan knows what’s wrong with her…. Maan doesn’t want her to start again, she should take a break and forget everything….

Its harder to follow than to give advice, so Maan is ready to give her more time….

Maan: tum chaho toh mein akhela hi chale jaoonga, mein Annie ko sambaal loonga

Geet: nahi, mein teek hoon

Maan: are you sure?

Geet: haan

Maan: tumne gift ke barein mein kuch socha?

Geet: I’ve got them a special card, you get a gift

Maan: I don’t know, do you have any idea?

Geet: I think you can get him a nice watch

Maan: good, come, let’s go get one

Maan wants to get her out of the troubled thoughts …

Geet keeps mum, she is still moody…

Maan stops at a restaurant…

Geet: mujhe bhook nahi hai

Maan: but I’m hungry

It’s a dabha…

Geet just goes to avoid any arguments… she is clearly not in a mood to fight…. But Maan is…

Maan: tumme yahan ka khana pasand haina?

Geet is sitting quiet…

You know, chotu comes to take the orders…

Maan: menu do

Geet: yahan menu nahi hotha

Chotu: haina? Mein abhi lekhe aatha hoon

Maan: koi zaroorat nahi hai, inko toh pura menu maloom hai, toh bathao Geet, kya chahiye?

Maan teases her…

Geet stares him…

Geet just wants to order something to avoid further conversation…

Geet: lacha paratha, paneer tikka masala, tandoori chicken aur ek lassi

Maan: meine kaha na?

Maan winks at chotu to join him…

Chotu: ye toh pura menu ho gaya hai, aur humne menu mein ab ice cream bhi include kiya hai

Maan: dessert badh mein chotu, mujhe bas ek omlette cahiye, white only , without chillies, with some mushrooms and cheese

Chotu: ye toh menu mein nahi hai

Maan told that deliberately…

Geet laughs automatically…

Geet: chotu, inko anda burjj dedo, yahan yahi milega

Maan: chalega

Geet forgets about everything once she sees the food…

Maan knows that, that’s why he took her to the dabha…

Then they get a nice Tissot watch for Arvind…

Maan then drops Geet at Pinky’s place…

Maan: shamko tayaar rehna, I’ll come and pick you up

Geet: I’ll take a cab

Maan: Geet, it’s Annie’s mangetar’s party, they expect us together

Geet: I’ll be ready

Maan: you better be, and keep this gift with you, give it along with the card

Geet: hmm

That evening… at the party…

Annie is happy to see Geet…

Annie: Geet, aao aao

Annie takes her aside….

Annie: Geet, Arvind ko woh card bahut pasand aaya, aur meine ek chota sa note bhi likha tha, jaise tumne kaha, Arvind is pretty impressed

Geet: that’s good, ab jao, woh tumne hi dhoondh rahe hai

Annie leaves…

Maan comes and stays close to his Mishty…

Geet is feeling restless, she doesn’t want to stay there… birthday parties scare her like hell after that mishap(can we say that?)!!!! Maan is also aware of that and so he is keeping a check on Geet throughout thparty... Only Geet and Maan know about that secret, haina?…

Arvind cuts the cake… everyone is having a good time dancing and celebrating…

Maan goes and wishes Arvind… Geet too wishes him…

Maan tells Annie that he is not feeling good and wants to leave… he apologizes to Arvind for leaving in the middle…

Arvind is pretty happy that Annie’s big brother won’t be there… they can be more comfortable then…

Annie: Geet, tu toh rukh sakti na?

Geet looks at Maan…

Maan: nahi Annie, I want Geet to come with me

Annie: teek hai Geet, tum jao, mein kal phone karthi hoon . Geet: enjoy Annie, ab BigBoss Ke aakhen se bach gaye ho tum donno

Geet winks as they leave…

Annie: kal mein tumme details bathathi hoon, bye

Geet: bye

Maan: Geet, tum teek toh haina?

Geet: hmm

Maan: tum chaho toh aaj mere saath aa sakti ho

Geet: nahi

Maan drops her at Pinky’s place and leaves half heartedly … he wanted to be with his Mishty at this time… but she wants to be left alone at such times… it’s better to leave her alone….
