Chapter 17

Part – 16

Suhaagraat…

Maan comes as Geet is waiting…

Geet tries to get up seeing him…

Maan: feel comfortable, it’s your place now

Geet is happy to hear that….

Maan is little nervous… for he is the one feeling out of place…

Yes, it’s KM and not Handa house…

Yes, it’s the OH and not the mansion…

Yes, it’s MSK’s room and not Geet’s, or is it now Geet’s?

Has Maan lost ownership of his own room?

Maan is pretty insecure at his own house!!!!

Hare Khuana ji!! You are about to lose ownership of yourself, how cool is that? Welcome to the married World!!!!!

Geet is confused, why is he looking worried?

What’s his problem now?

Geet: babaji, isko kya ho gaya? Koi baat nahi, mein hoon na? Geet, tu fikar mat, tu sab sambalegi, iss akdu Khurana ko bhi, haina?

Geet is talking to herself but Maan could hear that…. That’s what she wanted…

Maan: what? What are you talking about?

Geet: you first tell me what are you scared of?

Maan: what? MSK kissi se dartha nahi

Actually MSK is scared of everything when he is with Geet….

Maan too knows that those days are gone now …

He does fear this crazy girl…. She is capable of doing the unthinkable… her brain works like that….

Geet: then why are you scanning the room like that? It’s your room and if there is anything wrong then you should only be responsible for that, infact I should be the one worried

Maan: nothing is mine now, I have no control of my life now, where are they?

Geet: ye kaise sawaal hai? Suhaaagraat mein Dulhan ke alawa aur kisko dhoondh Raha hai ye Dulha? Mujhe patha nahi Annie ka bhai itna pagal hai

Maan: what?

Geet: whom do you expect other than us tonight?

Maan: your camera guys, you have turned this into a mini-film shoot na?

Geet: they have finished the shoot, you are late

Maan was right…. Maan came late just to escape that stupidity….

Maan: thank God for that

Geet: anyways, our package ends here, we can’t offer anything more, it’s up to the couple thereafter

Maan is shocked to hear her talk without any filters…

Maan looks at her astonished… what have I gotten into? How will this turn out? Has he taken the wrong decision?

He doesn’t know about Geet, but Maan is definitely going to lose his peace of mind after this…

Geet: so, what are you thinking about now?

Geet knows very well that Maan is not thinking about Suhagraat, that much she understands this man, else she wouldn’t have taken this huge step, haina?

She needs to be patient, she prays to her babaji to give her the patience to handle this Khurana…

She knows that the road she has chosen is going to be like this only….

Maan: you take rest, I’m going to Dadi’s room

Geet is a little shocked… he can’t even share the room with her? but she is not bothered much…. She has made a conscious decision… she knows what’s coming up in her life next…

What could anyone expect other than this from the akdu Khurana, or you can say the robot Khurana?

Moreover she is too tired for anything now, she just needs a break badly…

Geet has got what she wanted, she has become a Khurana…

Now she will take charge of everything else… the whip is in her hands now…

It’s up to Geet now to program some emotional aspects into this plastic Khurana….

Geet is also not in any hurry for the Suhaaagraat, haina?

Geet: good night

Maan: good night

Next day….

Annie is eagerly waiting for Geet, no her babhi…

Geet is not a morning person while Maan’s day starts at 4 am….

Maan is in his workout session as usual…

That’s not a surprise for someone like Annie who grew up with him…

But Geet should be here to send off Maan to work…

Geet is not a typical wife and Maan is not husband material… you know that…

The Handas are here to take the couple home ..

Geet is yet to wake up while Maan has left to KC…

Annie goes to inform Geet that her parents are here…

Annie knocks….

Geet gets irritated for being disturbed from her sleep…

Geet had a hectic week and she needs to sleep a couple of days to recover….

That’s true… she has invested so much of her time and energy in this… it better work…

She doesn’t know how the videos have come out…

She has to edit them and make reels for the marketing…

Geet thinks that it must be Maan, he might need his things…

Geet: get in, it’s your room only

Annie is shocked….

Geet is expecting Maan but her mechanical Bhai is back to work….

Geet will be disappointed…

Annie: Geet, it’s me

Geet is back to sleep…

Annie opens the door and peeps in…

Geet is sound asleep…

Annie knows that Geet doesn’t like when someone wakes her from her sleep…

But what will Annie tell Ranno…

She is waiting for Geet…. But Annie just can’t barge into the room, it’s not just her brother’s now…

Maan never lets anyone inside his room except for Nakul and Riya…

Pummy and Mr.Khurana have no access to the OH itself…

Annie calls Geet….

Geet sees that it’s Annie and ignores…

Annie keeps calling…

Geet wakes up…

It must be something important, what did Maan do now?

Geet: Annie, what’s wrong with your Bhai now?

Annie: Geet, he is your husband now, BTW Bhai has gone to KC, your family is here to take you

Geet: what? Why are they here?

Did Maan tell them anything? Did they get to know about last night?

Geet is worried….

Annie: what? What’s wrong with you Geet? Just spending a night with bhai has changed you like him too?

Geet: what rubbish? I’m here to change him

Annie: that’s what I too believed, but I’m scared that I have made a mistake

Annie panics…

Geet: hare, you just relax, why do you fear everytime, that’s your problem

Annie: don’t you know why they are here?

Geet: Annie, what’s the matter? I really don’t know

Annie: they have come to take you home, don’t you feel like going home? I was all ready and waiting for Bhai after my wedding, Bhai was surprisingly late that day

Geet: surprisingly? Your Bhai is late at everything

Geet has her complaints you know!

Annie: what?

Geet: you see Annie, I didn’t get married to go back to my parents, haina?

Annie feels unhappy that Geet is taking a dig at her…

Geet realizes her mistake…

Geet: I mean this is my house now, I should be staying her only, haina? That’s why people get married

That doesn’t help….

Annie is hurt, Geet didn’t do that intentionally though…

Annie: whatever, I just came to inform

Annie leaves disappointed…

But Geet was just speaking her mind…

Geet really doesn’t feel that she needs to go home right now…

Its just a ritual that she has to follow…

She is used to staying away from home, she lived on her own all these days in a foreign land and this is her own city, Delhi….

And Annie is her friend, Riya is her darling…

She is happy with everything except the alien Khurana…

But marriage is specially about that one person, and the family is just a little part of it…

Geet goes to see her parents…

Ranno: Geet, tum abhi tak tayaar nahi hui?

Geet: it’s just 10

Ranno whispers in Geet’s ears, “this is not our home, do you realize that Geet”

Pammy just comes ….

She looks at Geet in her night dress but ignores it…

Geet: good morning aunty, where’s my coffee?

Pammy is stunned, even Ranno is…

Ranno: Geeeeet

Pammy: Nakul, sab ke liya coffee lana

After having the coffee…

Ranno: Geet, jaldi kar, tumhare papa ke liye late ho rahi hai

Actually Ranno doesn’t like to stay there any longer…

Geet: tum log jao, mein aajathi hoon

Ranno: kya?

Maninder is happy to go, he has an important meeting…

Maninder: that’s good, you come with Maan

Geet: ok papa

Ranno: ye kya hai ji?

Madan too comes….

Madan: namaste ji

Maninder: namaste

Madan: Pummy, prepare a feast for the Handas, they have come to their daughter’s home for the first time

Maninder: she is your daughter now

Madan: I know, but Geet is still your daughter, I know that feeling, I too have a daughter

Pammy is not so happy…. She goes to the kitchen… Nakul, Nakul….

Maninder: we should leave now, we’ll come another time, chalo Rannoji

They leave….

Madan: Geet, how do you feel being a Khurana?

Geet: you know something uncle? nothing has changed, I feel like myself, Geet, just Geet

Madan is worried….

Madan: I can understand your feelings, but Geet, give Maan some time, everything will be fine

Geet: but uncle, why are you bothered? I’m really happy to be myself, just like Maan

Madan: you know your husband so well, that’s such a relief for me, I was always worried about Maan that he would end up all alone in his life, I was so shocked when he wished to marry you, there’s always the fear if I have been selfish and unjust to you

Geet: nahi uncle, there’s nothing to worry, I know what I’m dealing with

Madan: I trust you Geet, for both of your happiness

Geet: then you should not worry about us hereafter

Madan: teek hai beta

Geet calls Maan….

Ranno asked Geet to come along with Maan while leaving…

Geet: good morning Maan

Maan: good noon

Geet: I know, but what are you doing at KC today?

Maan: what’s wrong with today?

Geet: if you have forgotten, Mr.Khurana, let me kindly remind you, we just got married yesterday

Maan: so people stop working after wedding?

Geet: normal people don’t think about work the day after their wedding, haina babaji?

No one understands Geet’s problem except her babaji, haina? When will this Khurana understand life? Understand Geet?

Maan: but you must remember that Maan Singh Khurana is not any common man

Geet: I know that off course, you don’t even belong to Earth

Maan: Geeeet, don’t waste my time

Geet: Mr.Khurana, we have an important meeting at your sasural today as per your new “Marriage” deal, understood?

Geet knows that Maan only understands business lingo…

Maan: what? I’m not coming anywhere, you can go wherever you want to

Geet: Mr.Khurana, you are their damad now, they expect you to be there

Maan: Geet, you just handle it, they are your parents

Geet: you just listen to me carefully Mr, you are now speaking to Mrs. Maan Singh Khurana, don’t you dare say “NO” to Maan Singh Khurana’s wife, Maan will not spare you if he gets to know about that

Maan: Geeeeet

Geet: what Geeeeet? I’m coming to pick you up, be ready

Maan just remembers the last time Geet came to KC to pick him up…

Maan: what? No, you can’t come to the office

Geet: why?

Maan: there’s an important meeting later in the afternoon

Geet: I’ll come and wait

Maan: no no no

Geet: what?

Maan: the meeting is at the hotel, I’m going there

Geet: which place? I will come there then

Maan: it will take a long time, you go home, I’ll come there after the meeting

Geet: what time?

Maan: 7 pm

Geet: do come on time, or you know what I’ll do

Maan: I know, I’ll be there

Maan is really scared… Geet knows that too…

Geet: that’s good, I like that

Maan cuts the call to avoid further embarrassment…
