Chapter 25

Part – 24

Geet continues to think about about her short but sweet times spent at KM, when she was lucky to be with Maan…

One morning at KM…

Geet is fast asleep as usual…

Geet is having a dream about Maan…

In her dream…

Geet is in the showers…

Maan knocks… Geet knows that it’s Maan only, who else would dare to knock her door in the OH?

Annie doesn’t come here after the wedding…

Geet: kaun hai?

Maan: it’s me

Geet gets naughty… let’s test Mr. Robot…

Geet quickly wraps the towel around, goes and opens the door….

Maan pretends not to be interested…

He goes and looks for a file…

Geet goes near him…

Maan could feel her standing behind him almost touching him…

Geet: may I help?

Maan steps back and leads her to the front…

Geet blinks…

Maan catches hold of her from the back…

Geet freezes….

Maan lifts her up and asks her to look for some file….

Geet takes out the file…

Maan slowly puts her down, Geet is still lost in that touch that she thinks that Maan holding her and she fails to stand on her feet when Maan let’s her off…

Geet is about to fall when suddenly Maan catches her, he tries to pull her up and stop her from falling down and getting hurt…

Geet is back on her feet, but Maan is still holding her…

Geet tries to move but Maan turns her around and pulls her closer…

Geet’s mobile rings… hare, mujhe sapne mein toh romance karne dho…

Geet cuts the call without seeing who it is…

Its Dadi…. Dadi calls again…

Geet sees that it’s Dadi… let that be something important Dadi….

Geet: halo Dadi, what’s so important than your Geet’s precious nap?

Dadi: Geet, its better that you wake up from your nap and open your eyes before it’s too late

Geet: if only you let me sleep a little longer, I would have had a little romance with Mr. robot

Dadi: what’s the use in romancing in your dreams? Geet, you need to up your game in real life

Dadi is now totally convinced that the problem is with her pothi only…. Geet is all about the talking and nothing about the actions

Dadi: babaji, issko thoda akal dho

Geet: dadi aap kuch keh rahe ho kya?

Dadi: Geet, talk less and work more

Geet: Dadi, what’s wrong with you? Why are you speaking in riddles?

Dadi: you are not single Geet, you are married now

Geet: so what? Should I wake up early and help my hubby get ready for office

Dadi: yes, why not?

Dadi is thinking about Geet helping Maan to wear his waist coat and the romance that would follow…

You too Dadima? Keep dreaming… it doesn’t cost you anything….

Geet laughs…: Dadi, it’s the 21st century

Dadi: so what? What’s wrong in doing something special for your spouse? Every relationship works on “Give and Take” policy

Geet: ok dadi, lets assume you are right, why should girls be the givers and boys be the takers?

Dadi: see, this gen Z likes to complicate everything, boy or girl, you give something and you take something back, simple, where does gender come?

Geet: hmm, I understand, so what do I get back in return?

Dadi: how would I know? If you are smart enough you can get whatever you want, you could make your dream come true, the options are unlimited in reality, just give him a chance

Geet: you are wrong Dadi, In MSK’s case, the options are very very limited

Dadi: what?

Geet: ok dadi, now I got the point , you don’t worry

Dadi advises Geet to continue as Mrs. MSK at KM and not just for the weekend, else Geet would have to be satisfied with her romantic dreams only in Dadi’s opinion….

Geet gets ready and goes to see Maan…

Maan has left, Geet too goes down to the mansion…

At the breakfast table…

Annie is busy with Riya…

Maan comes and Pummy is about to go call her daughter when Geet arrives…

Geet: good morning maaji, Maan, you are here

Maan doesn’t react at all….

Geet goes and sits next to Maan…

Geet: Nakul bhaiya, Aaj kya banaya hai?

Nakul comes with Maan’s egg whites and broccoli omlette…

Maan is having his cereals…

Geet looks at Maan and then looks at Nakul….

Nakul keeps the omlette on the table…

Geet looks at the weird thing…

That’s not human food, Geet is very hungry…

Maan ko humane Banna hai toh human khana hi khana hoga… haina babaji?

Geet: Nakul bhaiya, koi tasty Punjabi khana hai kya?

Nakul: haina ma’am, mattar poori aur aloo Gobi ki sabji

Geet: ye kya Nakul bhaiya? Aap apne liye zabardast khana bana lethe ho aur hummare liye khaas phoos?

Nakul blinks ..

Pummy leaves seeing the drama…

Geet: hum bhi aap ke tarah insaan hi hai, aap jaldhi poori aur sabjhi lekhe aana

Nakul brings them…

He serves Geet and is about to leave…

Geet stops him…

Geet: Nakul bhaiya, aap ko nahi lagta ki aap ke Maan sir insaan hai?

Maan is a little shocked… but he knows Geet… it’s what you should be expecting Maan Singh Khurana….

Nakul is shivering….

Geet: unko bhi dona

Nakul looks at Maan and waits there not knowing what to do…

Annie just comes as Pummy came to take care of Riya…

Pummy sent Annie actually….

Maan signals Nakul to serve them and leave as he understood poor Nakul’s plight….

Nakul is surprised…

Maan takes a bite and he is enjoying it…

Even Annie is surprised, that’s good, Geet has done the impossible…

Annie leaves from there silently as her service is no longer needed there…

From then on Geet gives Maan company while he dines at the Mansion…

Geet unknowingly keeps Annie away from Maan in her attempt to make space for herself in Maan’s so called personal space…

She deliberately tags on with Maan always, just so she can get Maan’s attention, else Maan is always occupied with his business…

Geet starts taking Riya to the weekend outings along with Maan instead of Annie…

Annie understands that her brother is newly married and needs to spend time with his wife…

Poor Geet gets to go with Maan only if Riya accompanies her… that’s why Annie let’s Riya go with Geet…

Maan must change a lot.. but until then Annie wanted to help Geet…

Did that help Geet to get closer to Maan or did that only make the gap bigger?

While Geet was slowly getting used to her sasural, Annie suffered silently not knowing what to do and she went back into her shell…

She remained inside her room all day…

Pammy got worried about Annie….
