Chapter 10

Part – 9

At the expo….

Maan is busy receiving laurels from everyone, for the grand success of the Expo this year….

Mr. Sharma and Mr. Saxena are having a big argument about making Maan part of their family, there by making him their business partner…

Mr. Sharma: Payal has just returned from UK after finishing her MBA, the two of them(Maan and Payal) would be perfect partners both in business and life

Mr. Saxena: Rashi has already taken over the business and is equally good as Maan, they would rule the construction world together

Mr. Sharma: Rashi is too old for Maan

Mr. Saxena: Payal is no match for the mighty Maan Khurana

Mr. Sharma: let Maan decide that

Mr. Saxena: why Maan? Here’s Khurana sab, he knows what’s best for his son, haina Mr. Madan?

Maninder too wants to know what Madan has in mind…

Madan is a proud father…

Madan: as you all know, Maan always makes the best choices, so I’ll let him decide this one too, Afterall, it’s his life

The two gentlemen run after Maan hearing that…

Maninder finds it funny that these people are fighting over something that’s never going to happen, on the other hand Maninder can make it happen if only he wishes, haina?

Maninder wanted someone to take over the business like Maan has done, how lucky Madan is? If only Maninder had a son like Maan?

Even now Maninder can make Maan his business heir, if only he makes him his son-in-law, like Sharma and Saxena were planning…

Maan himself came to Maninder and so it’s just about Maninder’s wish…

But one thing is bothering Maninder since Maan told him about his wish…

Why does Maan want to marry Geet? What’s the reason?

Maan hardly knows Geet, then from where did such a desire arise?

Geet did go to KM for the party, but Maan is not the ordinary earnest bachelor to be falling for her beauty…

Then why?

Maninder goes and finds Maan….

Maninder: congrats Maan, this success belongs to you

Maan: thank you

Maninder: I always knew that you are a pacca business man, it’s not a small achievement, it’s huge

Maan: I’m a business man and that’s the only thing I know

Maninder: can I ask you something?

Maan: anything

Maninder: why Geet?

Maan looks at Maninder…

Maan: you mean the marriage?

Maninder: yes, why my daughter?

Maan: I never wanted to marry, Geet changed it, she is different, she supports Annie, she is unbiased, that’s when I decided that if at all Annie gets a babhi, it should only be someone who understands Annie

Maninder is surprised and happy that Maan speaks only the raw truth and likes his honesty….

Maninder is confident that Maan is a true gentleman, who has a better understanding of life than any of the Romeos…

Maninder comes to talk to Madan, and Madan is little nervous knowing about what’s going on…

But he doesn’t want to show that Maan has told him about the wedding to him already…

Then Mr. Handa would obviously expect him to initiate and not Maan himself…

Maninder: how are you Khurana ji?

Madan: I’m really happy

Maninder: you should be, Maan has made you proud

Madan: at least I am a lucky father when it comes to my son

Madan indicates Annie’s misfortunes….

Maninder: I wish I could be a happy father too one day

Madan: Geet would give all the happiness that you wish for, you need not worry about that

Maninder: how is Annie?

Madan: she is good

Maninder: have you thought about her future?

Madan: why? What about her future?

Maninder: don’t you think you should get her married to a good boy

Madan: it’s very difficult to find a good boy these days

Maninder: that’s true, it’s very tough to find a good boy for our daughters

Madan: are you looking for a boy for Geet?

Madan acts as if he is not aware of Maan’s proposal… he wants to know about Maninder’s plans…

Maninder: yes, since she returned we have been trying to find a good boy for her, but girls have a lot of expectations you know

Madan: what’s her expectations?

Maninder: God only knows, she keeps finding fault with everyone

Madan: that must be very hard, why don’t you talk to her and convince her?

Maninder: I don’t want to force things against her wishes

Madan: I understand, kids these days are really tough to understand, it’s impossible to even think about talking to Maan about marriage

Maninder: I wanted to talk to you about Maan

Madan: he is the talk of the town

Maninder: I don’t know if I should be talking to you about this before I talk to my family, Maan might not like it

Madan: what’s the matter? Aaise kya baat hai?

Maninder: Maan came to my office

Madan: ohh, then it must be about the business, then you shouldn’t be talking to me, I have almost retired, you can talk with Maan itself, he is the boss now

Maninder: it’s not about the business, it’s about the family

Madan: Maan came to about something other than business? Impossible

Maninder: have you thought about Maan’s marriage?

Madan: what? How could I think about that with Annie at home?

Maninder: but Maan has succeeded in business and is ready to succeed in personal life too, he needs to settle down too, he also has a life

Madan: I know

Maninder: that’s what Maan came to talk about

Madan: what? Maan came to you to talk about his personal life?

Maninder: not just about his life but about my daughter’s life too My

Madan: I don’t understand

Maninder: Maan wants to marry Geet

Madan pretends to be shocked…

Madan: that can’t be true

Maninder: yes, it is

Madan: what do you think about it?

Maninder: I don’t know

Madan: what do you want me to do? Talk to Maan and tell him that it’s wrong

Maninder: why is it wrong?

Madan: you should only tell

Maninder: I’m confused

Madan: take your time, I have no objection, Geet is a very good girl

Maninder: Maan is not a bad boy either, what should I do?

Madan: that’s for you to think and decide

Maninder: maybe I should talk to my family

Madan: that’s a good idea, I’ll be happy if this works out

Maninder: I’ll let you know

Madan: let that be a good news
