                Part – 35

Dadi is happy that finally Maan is back, now he’ll take charge of his Annie’s wedding…

Dadi: Maan, aap ka project ka kaam ho gaya bete?

Maan: ji Dadima

Maan is not sounding happy…

Dadi: kya hua Maan?

Maan: kuch nahi Dadi, I didn’t have proper rest for the past few days, you know this was important

Dadi: Maan, nothing is more important than your health and happiness, look at yourself! You need a break from work Maan

Maan: yes dadi, you are right, I definitely need a break

Dadi: you should take a few days off and take a holiday with Geet

Dadi winks, she is trying to cheer him up for Maan is always happy when the topic is Geet…

But dadi doesn’t know that his happy la la land has turned into hell now…

Maan: Dadi, mujhe Annie ke shadhi se zyada kushi Kahan milega?

Dadi: that’s my boy, so , the real celebration begins only now

Maan: Haan Dadi, you just watch how we are going to rock it

Maan is really happy for Annie and he wants the best for his little sister….

Dadi: where’s Annie?

Maan: she is in the OH

Dadi: let’s go and see what the girls are doing

Maan: Dadi, app jao, mein papa se kuch important baat karke aatha hoon

Dadi: phir se kaam? aap pehle aao mere sath

Dadi takes Maan with her…

Geet is with Annie and Annie is trying out her jewels..

She asks Geet also to try whatever she likes…

Dadi: girls, look who has come to help you

Annie: bhai, you have come at the right time, dekho, ye kaisa hai?

Maan: good, but not so good

Annie immediately tries another one….

Geet steps back and moves to the corner after seeing Maan…

She doesn’t want to interfere in his family time….

Dadi: Geet, what are you doing?

Geet: Dadi, mein abhi aayi

Annie: Geet, tum kahan jaa rahi ho? Bhai yahan mere liye nahi, tere liye hi aaye hai, haina bhai?

Annie looks at Maan and winks…

Maan just tries to smile… but Geet knows that he couldn’t even fake a smile properly…

Geet chali gayi toh Dadi asaani se Maan ki mood ko pakad jayegi…

Geet too has to be there so that Dadi doesn’t get any doubts, kissi se dare ya na dare, sab Dadi se darthe hai…

Dadi: Annie, you are right

Maan is looking at Annie only, he keeps avoiding the direction of Geet…

Annie: Bhai, Geet wahan hai

Geet: tummare samne toh woh big bro hi banenge na?

Geet tries to justify his acts…

Nakul comes….

Nakul: Dadima, Jagdish sir aap ko bhula rahe hai

Dadi: teek hai, tum log baat karo, hum jaathe hai

Annie: Geet, try this one, Bhai ko rubies pasand hai, haina Bhai

Maan tries to act normal…

Maan: Haan

Geet tries that piece…. It looks beautiful but something is missing….

Annie: bhai, ab bathao, aapko ye pasand hai kya?

Maan keeps staring Geet… he is still trying to find out the answers for his questions…

Geet too is not happy, that is obvious from her dull face…

Whatever it is, fighting with Maan was fun, but seeing him suffer is not???

What’s wrong with Geet?

Maan keeps watching Geet closely… he has mastered the art of reading her eyes perfectly over the years… they have been trying to hide their true feelings lately, Maan didn’t know that earlier, but now he can see through their masks clearly…

Maan knows that Geet can’t be happy after what she has done, and he is right…

Annie: bhai, meine Geet ko gurne ko nahi bola tha, uske jewel kaisa hai?

Maan: achcha nahi hai

Geet has won the battle with Maan, but she is looking like the loser, yes, Maan’s defeat is her defeat, when will she understand that?

Maan doesn’t like the sad Geet from the beginning itself…

Annie: Geet, try the other one

Maan: ye bhi achcha nahi hai

Annie: haan, mujhe bhi kuch kami lagtha

Geet: Annie, dekhne walon ki aankhon mein kami hogi, Ye mujhe pasand hai, tum pehle choose karo, ye lo, ye tujhpe bahut jachega

Annie tries that….

Annie: bhai, ye teek haina?

Maan: nahi Annie

Annie: kya bhai? Aap ko kuch bhi achcha nahi laga? Shayad Geet teek keh rahi hai, problem app ke paas hi hai

Maan: problem mere paas nahi hai Annie, you know something? Smile is the best jewel of a girl, thoda muskuraogi toh kuch bhi achcha lagega

Maan is indirectly telling Geet to smile…

Annie: ye toh aap ne teek kaha

Annie smiles….

Maan: that’s what I like

Maan is still looking at Geet…

Annie: I think bhai tumse kuch kehna chahte hai Geet, I will come in a minute

Annie leaves them alone for she thought Maan wants to be with his wife alone…

Geet sits there scared that Maan would do something to her…

But Maan leaves without any reactions… this is more scary… what is he planning to do?

Its better that he lets out his feelings once, but Maan too has a right to be private at times, haina?…

He has every right to punish Geet for her deeds, but instead he chose to leave her alone… , he knows that she has punished herself in doing so… he can’t see Geet unhappy, whatever the reason maybe… he doesn’t want to do anything stupid again….

The following week Geet is busy with Annie with the shopping and other wedding preparations that she stops going to KC…

Maan is taking care of everything from KC itself…

He sends his team to take care of all the sagayi work…

He visits KM and has dinner with everyone but leaves to the apartment while Geet stays with Annie at KM itself…

It’s better this way as long as Maan stays away from Geet, haina?

Its Annie’s sagayi…

Annie’s friends are here…

And Pari has also come…
