Chapter 2

Part – 1

Madan goes blank for a moment…

He is just processing the news…

But Pammy couldn’t stay calm, how could Maan even think about it?

How could one be so selfish?

But, this is the MSK, you should always expect the unexpected from him….

Pammy: hare, ye ladhka toh sach mein pagal ho gaya hai

Madan: Pammy, tum andar jao

Pammy: hamesha mera muh hi band karo ji, rukho, Annie aathi hi hogi, usse bhi sunao iss kush kabri, woh toh bahut kush hogi

Annie will be really happy, she is not the one to be upset to see her brother happily married while her own marriage is in jeopardy…

Yes, she is staying at her maika, separated from her husband, but that doesn’t mean that her brother should also stay single, haina?

Maan is also worried about his little sister and he is always thinking about Annie and Riya only…

But Maan’s personal life is different….

Maan: mein Annie se baat karoonga

Maan leaves that place for he never likes emotional drama…

Pammy: aap ne suna haina? Aapka Maan shadhi karna chahta hai

Pammy never adresses Maan as Madan’s son…. But now she is not at all happy and also very angry….

Madan: ye sunne ke liye mein kitne saal se intezar kar raha tha?

Pammy: ye sunne ke liye? Hare bagwan, Aaj iss Khurana mardon ko kya ho gaya? Achanak se dimag kharab ho gaya kya?

Madan: Pammy, ye mere bete ka shadhi hai, tum beech mein mat bolo

Pammy is bewildered how and what made Maan Change his mind….

She thinks about the past week when Maan actually met Ms. Geet Handa at Riya’s second birthday party…

This is the only happy occasion in Annie’s otherwise mundane life…

Annie eagerly waits for the special day the whole year… After all it’s her daughter’s birthday, Riya is the reason that Annie is up on her feet every day, else Annie has no interest in her own life whatsoever….

Annie takes interest in the celebrations because it is her only daughter’s birthday…

And also Riya is not fortune enough to have her father with her, it’s just the mother and daughter now….

Riya doesn’t even know that there is a father in everyone’s life…

She has only seen her mother and her mamu… she is not old enough to understand all this…

Maan wants her to stay like this forever, never ever think about her useless father….

Is that even possible? Doesn’t Maan ever think about his mother or miss her?

Maybe not, because he is not the ordinary human, he is MSK… poor Riya is just a normal child who will miss her father one day….

Pammy is always reminded of her lonely childhood with only herself and her mother….

She has a fear that her granddaughter’s life might also end up like her’s….

For Riya’s first birthday, Maan insisted that Annie and only Annie made all the arrangements..

Maan wants Annie to get out of her sulking and start to take charge of her life on her hands…

Maan wants Annie to think independently and lead her life happily without expecting someone else to keep her happy…

Maan believes that happiness is in one’s own hands, if you want to be happy you should be, why do you have to seek your happiness from others?

Then you will only end up disappointed…

That’s why Maan never lets anyone to interfere in his life, even if it is his own father… .. he should be his own boss always… he should do whatever he wants, whenever he wants and however he wants….

The previous year, they were in Chennai…

Annie was not having any problems going out in Chennai… no one knew her there…

But this is Delhi, and she is the Khurana family “MARRIED” daughter, living with her parents now….

People readily judge everyone, specially if they are from well known families…

Annie doesn’t want to be the raw material for their gossip mills…

Annie didn’t step out much in these six months….

The only time she goes out is with Maan, when he takes her and Riya to the woods for bird watching, animal sightseeing, enjoying a fresh bath in the waterfall and the boat rides in the rivers….

They even go hunting and fishing with Maan…

They have a farm house in the suburbs, and Maan likes farming…

They have a lot of birds and animals…

There are two horses, Maan takes Riya with him for a ride and she thoroughly enjoys it…

Maan wants Riya to learn to keep herself happy on her own, she doesn’t need someone else to make her happy….

Annie is hurt because she believes that her happiness lies elsewhere… Riya shouldn’t be like her mother in that matter, she should be like her mamu…

That she will be, for she looks up to her mamu for everything…

Other than those outings, Annie doesn’t like to go out even for a dinner…

It’s not that she has no friends, but she has stopped talking to them after what happened….

Luckily for Annie, Geet arrived at the right time…

Geet is like Maan in that matter, if Maan makes people do whatever he wants by his authority, Geet has this knack of talking people into following her orders easily…

This year Geet was there to help Annie in the birthday arrangements…

Annie and Geet went shopping together to get the dress and other things for Riya…

Geet did not come inside the khurana mansion, for She didn’t feel comfortable meeting Maan Singh Khurana and unnecessarily spoiling her mood….

Maan initially misunderstood that Geet is here to poke Annie and make her unhappy talking about her unwanted past….

What to do? Annie is more comfortable talking about her problem with her friend than her family, Annie opened up with Geet and cried her heart out letting go of her long stocked feelings….

And our Angry Singh Khurana erupted on Geet as usual…. He warned Geet that she should never be seen in his house again….

That’s why whenever Geet came to pick up Annie, she stayed outside itself…

Maan got to know about Geet helping out Annie later…

Maan didn’t bother much about that afterwards because Annie was happy after a long time going out with Geet….

At last Annie has found a true friend in Geet, and Maan is also happy for Annie in that matter…

Instead of trying to find out the reason behind Maan’s new found liking for Geet, Pammy should be happy that it’s Geet who would be coming home as her Bahu as Maan’s wife, for Geet makes Annie happy whenever she is with Annie….

Annie will be more happy if Geet comes to KM as her babhi….

Geet loves Annie more than she hates anyone (MSK)...

Who is he to stop Geet from seeing her friends, Annie and Riya...

No one can stop Geet from taking care of her friends, neither does she need anyone's permission, nor could anyone tell her what she has to do and what not, haina babaji?

Geet got more involved after that Maan kind of restricted her, her big ego got hurt, who is he to order Geet Handa?

Geet came everyday and Annie fulfilled the full quota of all the shopping she missed in the past...

They had a lot of shopping to do, they had to shop for three ladies...

Geet kept coming up with new ideas each day...

Sometimes they got tired of shopping and went to see a movie or went to explore new restaurants...

Geet wanted to gift Riya something special...

She knows that Riya gets everything from her mamu, so Geet had to think a lot to get something more precious....

Geet knows what Riya needs, but Geet can't get her that gift this year, Geet promises herself that she will definitely get Riya her special gift next year at any cost...

This time Geet gets a cute puppy for Riya... A month old Beagle...

Riya is so excited to see the puppy, she starts playing with it right away...

Geet takes care that Riya gets the best of everything for her birthday...

While Geet helped Annie shop everything for their little Princess Riya, Maan took the responsibilities of the other arrangements…

There was a big surprise awaiting everyone at the party...

What's that?
