Chapter 42

Part – 41

Continuing with the past….

That evening…

Geet calls Maan….

Geet: where are you?

Maan: who the hell are you to ask me?

Geet: it’s almost 4.30, you can reach the café, only if you start from your office now itself, I can’t hold Annie for a long time, she will find out the truth

Maan: why should I waste my time? Annie won’t come, you wait there and confirm it

Geet: what if she comes and you don’t trust me? You come and see for yourself

Maan: fine, I don’t trust you, but I trust my sister

Geet: you can’t even spare a few minutes for Annie, how will you take care of her for a lifetime?

That’s so true, Maan gets really angry for he also knows that he can’t fill the void in Annie’s life however hard he tries….

Maan: you don’t have any rights to talk about us

Geet: you are too talkative, come and join the action instead

Maan: what?

Yes, Maan is talking too much which is very unusual….

Maan goes to see Geet’s face when Annie doesn’t show up…

Then he will show Geet her place and regain his lost honor back…

Geet is waiting at the café….

Maan is sitting in a corner hiding from the others…

Maan is looking at the watch and the entrance…

Geet: ye Annie abhi tak kyun nahi aayi? Ye toh apne bhai ke saath milke aaj mera naak kategi

The waiter comes for the umpteenth time ..

Geet: hare, thoda wait Karo

Waiter: ma’am aur kitna wait karna hai?

Geet: tummara kaam hi wahi haina? Jao, mein bhulathi hoon, phir aao

Geet is getting frustrated…

Maan is having fun watching her…

The waiter comes again…

Geet gives an angry look…

Geet: phir tum aagaye? Meine nahi bhulaya

Waiter serves her a cold drink…

Geet: meine order nahi kiya

Waiter: madam ji, your boyfriend ordered for you, you are waiting for him only know

Geet: what? Aaise kisne kaha?

Waiter: hum sab jaanthe hai, humne kitne logon ko dekha hai

Geet: lekhin aaise aadmi ko kabhi nahi dekha hoga, he is not my boyfriend

Waiter: shuru mein sab aaise hi kehte hai

He laughs and leaves…

Geet gets angry..: what? Mein hamesha yahi kahoongi, haina babaji?

Annie: Geet, kya hua? Kisse baat kar rahi ho?

Geet: hmm, tere Bhai se

Annie: kya? Bhai kahan hai?

Geet: mujhe kya patha? Tera Bhai hai, tummare saath hi hoga

Annie: Bhai se baat karna hai toh mujhe pehle bathathi, mein unko hi bhejthi

Geet: kabhi toh apne bhai ko chodke mere bhai ke barein mein socho Annie, Chalo hum ab bro ke barein mein bhi jaanthe hai

Annie: kya? Tumne kaha ki hum unse milne jaarahe hai

Geet: wahi toh, koi humme Bhai ke paas lekhe jaane wala hai, ussi se baat karthi hoon

Geet calls Maan….

Maan is shocked, ye mujhe kyun call karthi…

Maan: halo, why did you call me?

Geet: Annie bhi aagayi hai, jaldhi bathao, humme Kahan aana hai?

Maan: go to hell, wahi tera bhai milega

Geet: aap ko hi uska patha maloom hoga, aapkaa jagah haina?

Maan: how dare you?

Geet: what? You won’t take us?

Maan: what?

Geet: aaj nahi mil sakte?

Maan: Annie kabhi usse nahi milegi, samjhi tum?

Geet: teek hai, agle baar zaroor bro se baat karwana

Maan: in your dreams

Geet: teek hai, next time

Geet keeps the call on so that Maan can hear their conversation….

Annie: kya hua?

Geet: aaj nahi mil sakte, bro kahin bahar gaye hai

Annie is very disappointed…

Annie: he doesn’t want to see me, mere wajhe se joot bol raha hoga, tumne kyun bola ki mein bhi saath hoon

Geet: mein bro se thodi baat kar rahi thi, it’s just a friend

Annie: I know everything Geet

Geet: aaisa kuch nahi hai, bro ko patha chaltha ki tum aayi ho toh woh hi yahan aathe

Annie: don’t lie to please me Geet

Geet: no, I’m not MSK to keep you blind about the truth

Annie: tumme Bhai se kya problem hai?

Geet: tummara Bhai hi ek problem hai

Màan is fuming on the other end….

Annie: I knew it, it’s just a waste of time

Geet: Bhai aur behen donno ek jaise hai

Annie: what?

Geet: I know you are disappointed for not being able to meet bro

Annie is silent….

Geet: Ek bar tum log milte toh sab theek ho jayega, lekhin log toh tum donno ko alag karne mein lage hai

Annie: Bhai toh sirf meri kushi chahte hai

Geet: lekhin unko kya patha ki teri kushi mere bro se Judi hai

Annie: aaisa kuch nahi hai, mujhe bas Vicky se ek baar milna hai

Geet: kyun?

Annie: kyunki?

Annie couldn’t answer…

Geet: ek pathni apne pathi se milne ke liye koi wajah nahi chahiye, tumme haq he unse kabhi bhi milne ki aur baat karne ki, unko bhi haq hai apne beti ke barein mein jaane ki

Annie: haan Geet, ek baar Vicky ko Riya ke barein mein patha chala toh Vicky sab chodke hummare paas aajayega, haina?

Geet: Haan, kyun nahi? Tumme lagta haina ki bro aayenge, toh zaroor aayenge

Annie: Geet, tum nahi hothi toh patha nahi mera kya hotha, ek tum hi ho jho mujhe achche se samajh sakti

Geet: tumme mujh pe viawas haina? Toh samjho ki bro aagaye, toh tum kya karegi?

Annie: ek baar Vicky aayega toh mein usse jaane hi nahi doongi, har waqt unke saath rehke unko sahi raste pe laoongi

Geet: Vicky toh tumhare ghar nahi aayega na?

Annie: mein tumhare ghar kaise aa sakti?

Geet: woh mera ghar nahi tumahara ghar hai Annie, mein tumme tumhara ghar wapas lekhe jaoongi, ye mera wadah hai, mujhe koi nahi rokh sakta, tumhare bhai bhi nahi

Annie: par Maan bhai ko ye sab pasand nahi hoga

Geet: ye Maan ki nahi, tumhari zindagi hai, tum apne zindagi apne Marzi se jee sakti

Annie: mujhe dar lagta hai Geet

Geet: mein hoo na, tum bas Bhai ki intezar Karo, mein sab teek kardhoongi

Annie: sach?

Geet: Haan, tum befikar raho, mein sab sambaloongi, abhi dher ho gayi, tum jao

Annie: tum bhi aao Geet

Geet: mujhe kissi se baat karna hai

Annie: bye

Annie leaves….

Geet’s job is half done … now what would MSK do?

Maan is shocked to hear what Annie said…

That must be because of this Geet only, she must have confused Annie with all her scripted drama and so all that nonsense got into Annie’s head….

That is somewhat true…

Annie is not happy and Geet wants to see her happy..

This is what Geet thinks would bring back Annie’s happiness..

Geet is doing this not just for Annie, Geet is doing this for Riya…

Geet changed her mind about Vicky after knowing that Riya is her niece, like that Vicky will change after knowing that he has a beautiful lovely daughter, every father becomes a gentleman just for his daughter, haina?

Geet goes to see Maan…

Geet: ab kya kehte ho?

Maan: tum donno hi pagal ho

Geet: ek baar try karne se kya hoga? Mera plan kaam nahi kartha toh mein Annie ko phir kabhi bhi pareshan nahi karoongi

Maan: ye toh bakwas plan hai

Geet: mujhe patha hai ki aap shadhi se darthe ho, ye nakli shadhi hai, daro mat, mein appki puri zindagi nahi, sirf theen mahine maang rahi hoon, aap Annie ke liye itna bhi nahi kar sakte? Agar aap Annie ko apna sachi behen mante toh mana nahi karte

Geet traps Maan with her non-stop talks…

Maan is not capable of processing so much nonsense at the same time…

Maan: teek hai, I’m in, Annie ke liye mein apni puri zindagi de sakta hoon

Geet: par mein bas theen mahine tum jaise aadmi ko seha sakti

Maan: Geeeeet

Geet: mein jaa rahi hoon, abhi se shuru mat hojao, shadhi tak toh wait karo

That’s how Maan came on board….

That was just a made up drama scripted by Geet, but she failed to control her own character…

That’s because Geet herself doesn’t know then that Maan is a hidden treasure that any girl would want more than anything else in this world…

Maan is like jackfruit, he will hurt you with his thorns but when you get through that thorny skin you get the most sweetest child inside….

Maan formed this guard out of his hatred towards people, but that has helped to keep the innocent little boy safe from the evil world….

He is scared to get hurt and so he is very conscious never to hurt anyone, specially someone who gives everything for others happiness like Geet…

Even though Maan knows that Geet’s theories are stupid, he is supporting her just to make sure that Maan doesn’t diminish the purity of her golden heart by trying to prove her wrong…

whatever it is, her intentions are good… Geet is a good soul, he wants her to remain like that forever…

He doesn’t want another innocent soul to turn sour like he has, no, he can’t be the reason for Geet to loose her hope in the goodness of people….

Geet still is in the child adult stage where she one that everyone is good somewhere deep down the heart and need to get another chance…

Maan in a way wants to protect Geet, there was no one to protect Maan from the evil ways of this selfish world…

Moreover Maan would only be happy if everything goes well and Annie is happy… that’s what he also wants in the end… haina?

But Geet didn’t expect that all this drama would affect her like this and she would be missing this saddu MSK…

That was not in the plan at all, it’s something that went out of Geet’s control….

Geet believes that everything happens for a reason…

Ye toh babaji ka kaam hai, babaji koi bhi kaam bhi na matlab ke nahi karwathe, ye babaji ka khel hai Maan aur Geet ki zindagi ko judne ki… shayad yahi inke taqdeer mein yahi hai… haina?

Maan Singh Khurana would never come up with such a stupid idea…

Geet is not that stupid like everyone thinks, she got Maan to sign the divorce papers first, how clever of Geet?

This is one good opportunity for Geet to try her luck in love, as she wished, here is the chance to give a try, she doesn’t love Maan, but she doesn’t hate him too…

She has got three months time to know him, she will find out if Maan qualifies to be a part of her swayamvar, she can then come to a conclusion about marriage…

Maan has passed out with flying colors in every aspect except for one, which Geet didn’t get to test, even after trying so much the one thing that eluded her is romance with MSK…

The more Maan distanced himself from Geet, the more fonder she became of the MSK…. Haina?

Geet is actually missing Maan, there was no romance, nothing special, but still Maan has managed to impress Geet…

Its not that Geet fell for him for nothing, just like that…

Geet confidently entered into the fake marriage arrangement with Maan to help Annie, because of the sole reason that there is 200% no risk involved, no worry about heart breaks, as she knew how Maan is neither husband material nor lover material..

Maan not even belongs to the human race… nothing about him is human, no human heart, no human brain, only a processor full of algorithms and already programmed rules, there is no room for any human instincts…

Just as they say 100% natural, he is 100% Maan made…. The only thing that is human about him is his physique, which could be considered as a natural gift …

One should not forget that Maan does appreciate the fact that he has been blessed with a great physique and he toils a lot, (Geet has seen his workout regime) to take care of it….

He cares about his body not for others, but for himself….

He has programmed himself to take care of everything about him, for he doesn’t want any kind of favor from anyone, even his family, right from his childhood…

How did Geet know about all this?

Did Maan tell her about himself to Geet?

That’s only possible in Geet’s dreams….

But dreams don’t reveal facts, they are only based on the facts that we already know…
