Chapter 15

Part – 14

Let the wedding get over, then Geet will take charge.. .

Until then let MSK be the boss..

It’s just a matter of a week…

Haina babaji? Give me the patience to handle this DD for just this one week, seven days only…

Its not a big ask, you can do this for your Geet, haina?

Geet knows Maan better than anyone else, he hates socializing, he is actually scared to get out of the imaginary castle that he has built around himself in order to protect himself from human bondings, specially the ones that are made for life which seldom meet our expectations…

He feels insecure, the moment he is compelled to set his foot out of it…

Geet doesn’t want to force anything upon him, she wants the same from him…

Geet loves socializing, she loves everything about a wedding, that’s why she has become a wedding planner…

Geet has not done a Big Fat Indian wedding yet… as a wedding planner, not as the bride….

Annie’s wedding was just a trial attempt for her, she did a few more in NZ, but they were more like an exhibition of one’s culture in a foreign land…

Those weddings lacked the soul, yes, our weddings have a soul which you can feel at every ritual…

Even if you don’t believe in the powers of the holy fire and the pheras, you have to believe in the power of the people’s blessings…

Shadhi ka mohaal hi kuch aaisa hai, everyone is happy for the couple, they are there to wish good luck for the couple’s happy married life….

It’s like starting your journey with the tank full(with all the goodness received from everyone’s blessings), it will take you through the initial bumpy ride after which you would have learnt to ride on your own…

And Geet definitely needs all those blessings for this unusual journey that she has decided to embark… with a partner like our unique, “beyond anyone’s understanding” Khurana, she needs more power to sail through this smoothly…

At KM….

Maan is very disturbed… has he done the right thing by doing this wedding?

This girl lives her life like a Bollywood Queen, everything about her life is to be big and flashy…

She is turning this wedding into a business event…

But what about Maan?

What does she know about him?

Maan lives his life almost undercover, he is identified by his business and that too only as a succeeding young entrepreneur, no one knows anything beyond that….

But Maan doesn’t understand that this is just any normal Indian wedding….

Instead of being happy, Maan is very upset, his conscience is questioning him every minute, is this what he wants? Is this what he should be doing? Has he done the right thing or has he made a mistake?

How did he even think about doing this?

This girl has really turned him mad…. Hope his madness doesn’t cost him badly….

Whatever it is, Annie is happy after a long time….

Annie is busy helping her friend, she has double responsibility for it’s not just her friend’s wedding, it’s also her dear brother’s wedding…

Though Maan doesn’t believe in all this drama, Geet is very excited about everything that is connected to this wedding…

Geet has appointed Annie to take care of the bridegroom’s side….

Annie has to get Maan’s attires ready for all the functions accordingly as per Geet’s instructions without Maan’s knowledge…

MSK would do the wedding in his official suits itself… actually Maan didn’t even think about all that, he had planned that he would go tie three knots and bring Geet home….

That’s also only for the Handas’ sake, as far as Maan is concerned he has already made the deal with Mr.Handa and now to seal the deal Maan has to tie the knot and exchange garlands or whatever it is….

Maan actually thought of a court marriage, just sign the marriage deal just like any other business deal, haina?

Why all the fuss? Haina?

Only thing Maan likes about all this high octane drama is that his little sister has finally come out of her shell and is actively taking part in the wedding process….

Annie leaves Riya with Pammy and is always seen going out…

When Maan offers to drop her, she refuses and always goes on her own…

Maan thinks that she must be helping Geet in her shopping… yes, Annie is only helping Geet…

But Maan doesn’t know that Annie is not shopping for herself but for her dear brother….

Annie gets Maan’s dresses ready secretly…

The Handas’ have booked a resort for the wedding…

The ceremonies start with the Shagun…

Annie gets her babhi a beautiful diamond necklace as the Shagun…

The Handas’ have got a mini-cooper for their damad as the Shagun…

Actually Geet wanted it, but Handa ji didn’t want to take a risk knowing about her craze for fast driving…. Geet is not used to Delhi’s traffic…

She has been staying out of town for a long time… now Geet fulfilled her wish through Maan….

But where is Maan?

Maan is missing, Handa ji is really worried….

Everyone keeps asking for Maan….

Geet tries calling Maan, but Maan wouldn’t pick the call…

Annie panics, what’s wrong with Bhai?

Hare, nothing is wrong with Bhai, but no one knows about MSK na….

Annie: Geet, I’m really sorry

Annie is in tears .. Annie feels guilty to have dragged Geet into this unnecessary mess…

Handa ji: what’s happening Mr.Khurana? Where’s your son?

Even Mr.Khurana is worried, he always knew that this would happen….

Geet intervenes…..

Geet: Papaji, calm down, all is well

Ranno: nothing is well, I already warned you Handaji, look at what you have done

Geet: will you people just stop shouting and listen to me, it’s my marriage

Everyone turns to Geet….

Geet: Maan just called me, everything is fine, we have decided that Maan will come to the wedding in the mini-cooper, you people don’t worry, I’ll be back with my would be in no time

Handa ji: now where are you going?

Geet: to pickup my fiancee

Ranno: Handaji, dekha apni ladli ko? See how you have spoilt her?

Handaji: look who is speaking? I know my girl, you need not worry about her

Ranno: I am not liking any of this

Geet disappears from there before anyone realizes what was happening…

Meanwhile, Annie keeps calling Maan non-stop…..

Finally Maan answers the call…

Maan is in the middle of an important client meeting…

Maan got ready earlier as usual and went to KC in the morning… .

Annie thought he must have gone to the wedding venue, Geet must have asked him to come early, for Geet had been talking about early morning photo shoot the previous night….

But Maan went to KC like any other day….

Maan had kept his mobile in silence…

After seeing so many calls Maan thinks maybe it’s important….

Maan knew that it must be about the wedding, but he has no clue that it’s the Shagun ceremony, which sort of kicks off the wedding rituals…

Annie: Bhai, where are you?

Maan: KC, kyun?

Annie: what?

Annie is shocked, Annie was about to remind Maan about the Shagun in the morning itself when Maan left home, but she didn’t want to stop him as it would be abshagun…

Maan: Annie, what’s the matter? I’m in the middle of something important

Annie: Bhai, how could you do this? Everyone is waiting for you, and how could you do this to Geet?

Maan: Annie, I don’t understand what you are saying, what’s wrong? What about Geet?

Annie: Bhai, it’s your shadhi, and the Shagun ceremony has begun, you should be here

Maan: but Annie, I already told Geet to keep me away from all this, she too agreed

Annie: what?

Maan: you talk to Geet

Annie: but bhai, if you don’t come now, the wedding itself will be in trouble

Maan: what?

Maan cuts the call and calls Geet…

What is this girl doing? Didn’t she promise to keep him away from this kind of trouble?

Geet: what do you think you are doing?

Maan: what? What are you doing?

Geet: I asked first

Maan: I’m doing my work

Geet: are you mad? Papa is about to call off the wedding if you don’t come in a few minutes

Maan: let him do whatever he wants

Geet: what?

Maan: I’m not going to be a part of this drama

Geet: Mr.Selfish Khurana, it’s not just about you, forget about me, it’s about the two families and their happiness

Maan: ok, I’m coming

Geet: you just wait there itself, I’m almost there

Geet has taken her car and come to KC, for she already knew where Maan would be…

Maan: what?

Maan doesn’t know what to do with this girl now….
