Chapter 8

Part – 7

At the wedding hall…

Maan finished the job by midnight…

Maan couldn’t even afford a dinner break… thanks to that stupid girl… infact no one had one..

Maan ordered the caterers to deliver some paneer rolls knowing that they could have them on the go…

Everyone had their dinner while still working… Maan only left when he was satisfied fully… meanwhile Geet had a tight nap in the bride’s room and came back after Maan left…

Geet asked LG to just send the driver to pick up some of their office staff who were at their house…

Geet managed to complete whatever was missing including the pictures and finally accomplished her mission successfully…

Next morning Maan was surprised to see everything done to perfection as per Geets layout and he wanted to give her a bonus for her sincerity …

Maan later learned that she is Ms. Geet Handa, Maan knows Mr.Handa through business, but that didn’t bother him at all…

Lucky for Mr Handa that Geet didn't take charge of his business....

what if she is Ms.Handa? She had a job and she would have failed at it miserably if not for Maan’s intervention…

Maan did pay her full with a bonus…

Geet was intrigued then itself… she gave the whole amount for the workers for putting up with that MSK’S attitude and helping her…

Geet kept the bonus for herself… hard earned money from none other than the MSK… it was like a word of appreciation from him…

While Geet is thinking about their first encounter Maan is busy in his office working…

Annie calls Maan…

Maan doesn’t encourage unofficial calls while he is at khurana constructions.. but Annie couldn’t wait till he comes home…

Annie: bhai, Geet is waiting for your proposal

Annie spills the beans out in her anxiety but luckily for her, Maan couldn’t get what she just uttered in lightning speed…

Maan: what?

Annie: I mean, your choice is always the best, I now understand why the long wait, the longer you keep looking, the better your choices are, haina?

Maan is not used to long conversations…

Maan: Annie, what do you want to say?

Annie: well bhai, permission granted, you can marry Geet , I don’t have any problem

Maan: Are you sure?

Annie: double sure, from our side, Haina Riya?

Annie doesn’t want Maan to know that she was bothered about Geet’s opinion…

Maan would like Annie to instantly support her brother no matter what her friend thinks about him, Haina?

Maan keeps looking at Annie in disbelief…. Annie is OK with it?

Geet is her friend, but friendship is totally different from relationship….

Maan: did you speak to Geet?

Annie: no bhai, why would I?

Annie thinks that Maan doesn’t want her as a messenger for his love…

Maan: Annie

Annie: Haan Bhai

Maan is still looking doubtful, whether he should go ahead with this marriage or not…

Maan: kuch nahi

Annie: Bhai, I know that you are worried about me, don’t worry, I’m so happy with your decision to marry

Maan: I’ll do anything for your happiness

Annie: Bhai, for once stop worrying about me and think about your wedding

But how could Maan stop worrying about Annie…

She might be sporting a smile, but deep down she is really unhappy….

Maan can’t see her like this…

But Maan has got the nod from Annie, now he can go ahead without any hesitation....

That evening Madan comes to meet Maan in the office …

Maan was expecting that, he knows the consequences of his morning statement…

Madan: Maan, I want to talk to you about something very important

Maan: yes, what is it?

Madan: it’s about your marriage

Maan: I already made it clear, I think

Madan: Maan, I am serious

Maan: I am very serious

Madden: So you want to marry Geet?

Maan: yes, I am pretty clear, it has to be Ms. Geet Handa

Madden: there is no hurry , I have waited for so long, there’s nothing wrong if I wait for a few more days, Maan, take your time and think again

Maan: you know I always think before I make up my mind and not the other way around

That Madan too knows very well… once Maan decides something then no one can stop him, Not even when he was a child and made this decision to go to the boarding school or when he decided to stay in the outhouse

Madan: but you know, how can I ask Mr. Handa?

Madan is so reluctant ….

Ye Mr. Sharma thodi nahi, Jo Handas’ se rishte karne ke liye kab se taras rahe hai thaki unka business badhe, Khurana acquaintance ke wajhe se ..

Aur jo bhi choti moti business Khuranas get is taken care of by Sharmaji just so he’ll get something BIG….

But the Handas’ is already are a much bigger business, and are like the arch rivals of the Khuranas for sometime, they are the Khuranas biggest competitors….

And Geet Handa is such a beautiful, lovely desirable bahu for anyone, she would easily be getting much better choices…

Its not just about the money, it’s also about the boy she is about to marry…

Any normal girl deserves a suitable family oriented boy, who has strong faith in the marriage system… not like Maan who has no interest in marriage and suddenly, from no where, he got this idea of marrying Geet Handa particularly….

Moreover Mr. Handa knows Maan very well , and how would anyone be happy to give their daughter in marriage to someone like Maan?

Maan is Madan’s son, but still he is not a normal young man, neither is Maan the most desirable husband material nor is he the most wanted bachelor….

Even Madan can’t guarantee Mr. Handa that their daughter’s life ahead would be a path full of roses knowing his son’s attitude….

Maan is not someone who would fall for beauty, neither does he know Geet that much to like her for her personality…

Maan’s only interest is his business, he literally breathes business 24*7…

He has worked hard to take KC this far…

They are second only to the Handas, and Maan’s target is to take the Handas’ spot at the top…

Is Maan thinking about this relationship to take advantage in business?

Noooo, he is not Sharma or Saxena, he is the MSK…

He will reach the top on his own merits….

Madan can’t stop worrying until he is sure that Maan is not fooling around…

Madan: does this have anything to do with KC?

Maan: what?

Madan: I mean, we are already doing well

Maan: what’s wrong with you?

Madan: I just want to make sure that there is nothing wrong with you

Even Maan has that doubt, he can’t believe this craziness himself … one thing is sure, that girl has turned him insane…

Maan: I know what I’m doing

Madan: I was just a little worried

Maan: you just tell me if it’s OK with you, are you still skeptical about my choice?

Madan: no no, I’m happy that finally you agreed to marry, I don’t care who the girl is as long as you are happy with it

Maan: then you just leave it to me

So, the Khuranas should initiate the necessary process for the wedding proposal as per the traditions ..

What would be Mr. Handa's reaction, given that Maan is not stranger to him....
