Chapter 54

Part – 53

At the Handa house…

Geet goes to find Riya….

Riya is playing with Dadi…

Dadi: hare Geet, Annie Kahan hai?

Geet: upar hai, usko disturb nahi karna

Dadi: Haan, let her take her time

Geet: Riya, do you want ice cream?

Riya: yes

Geet: come let’s go get some, maa, hum ice cream khane jaathe hai

Geet takes Riya and leaves…

Ranno is happy to see Geet forgets her problem as soon as she sees Riya… Even Ranno is feeling happy and is hopeful that everything will be alright…

That’s the positive effect that Geet brings….

You know this could have been done even without all the drama, but how would we get this story then? Haina Geet?

Maan is waiting for them at the mall…

Geet’s orders haina…

Geet and Riya come…

Maan is delighted to see Geet having some animated conversation with Riya darling…

Riya can’t compete with Geet’s antics but she is very happy to be with her funny aunt anytime…

Geet is speaking to Riya…

Geet: tumhare mama aayenge na?

Geet is a little doubtful whether Maan would come after he got angry in the morning…

How would poor Riya know?

Riya is like, mamu aaye ya na aaye, Geet bua toh zaroor ice cream kilayegi….

Geet: Uss Dhust Danav ka mood ka kuch pata nahi chalta, gussa toh hamesha unke naak mein baitne ke liye tayaar rehti, haina?

Maan has spotted them easily…

Maan is more interested in seeing the drama queen’s actions than our little princess Riya …

Maan quietly stands back and keeps watching Geet…

Geet is too busy roasting MSK that she can’t see him …

Geet: I have worked so hard to bring you two back, and your mamu doesn’t even have the courtesy to acknowledge my success, his ego is so big that he can’t see anyone except himself, I am invisible to him somehow

Geet is frustrated that Maan I not paying personal attention towards her no matter how much she tries to grab his attention..

Once he starts seeing Geet in the way that she wants him to, then there will be no looking back…

Geet: let him do whatever he wants to, why should we bother? We wanted to bring Annie home and we did it, haina? Give me high five

Riya is looking elsewhere…

Geet thinks that Riya is looking for Maan, yes she is and she has seen him…

Riya: Geet

Riya tries to tell Riya…

Geet thinks that Maan won’t come…

Geet: you don’t worry, we will celebrate our victory ourselves

Riya: mamu mamu

Geet looks at the direction that Riya is looking and finds Maan…

Geet is happy to see Maan …

So Maan has listened to Geet and come here…

Geet: why didn’t you call us and tell that you are here ?

Maan: but Geet, you only asked me to come here if you remember

Geet: Riya, did you miss mamu?

Riya: yes

Maan is feeling happy…

So, Geet Handa missed Maan Singh Khurana…..

Maan: so nice of you Riya, you missed me within a few hours?

Maan looks at Geet with a big grin on his face….

Geet stares him….

Is this the way to respond?

Geet: Maan, you must now say that you missed Riya too

Geet mind voice….

“Teaching this robot Khurana from A to Z is much challenging than Geet’s actual mission, hiana babaji?

You are only responsible for Maan’s manufacturing defect babaji, so you must only help me to correct it, teek hai?”

Maan: I too missed you Riya, ab tum kush ho Geet? Everything is going on as per your script, hiana director ma’am?

Yes, Geet is happy now….

Geet: I didn’t know that there will be changes in the script, so much has changed

Maan: but a good director sticks to their script Geet no matter what

Buddu Maan is not understanding Geet’s plight…

Geet: I don’t mind impromptu improvisation, I’m an artist’s director, you are also welcome to make changes, there’s always room for improvement, haina?

Buddu Khurana, you should see the actions of the co-actor and respond accordingly…

Can’t you see my plight and understand my situation?

Geet is giving hints which Maan is not willing to receive…

Maan: but it’s your script, how do I get to change it?

Maan is like…. It’s your life, you are the one who should decide what you want Geet….

Geet has decided, but Maan is still in the denial mode…

Geet: you are right Maan, you can’t change my script, but you know I can, and I will, Geet Handa knows how to get what she wants

Maan: that’s true, you are the only person who has the privilege to direct Maan Singh Khurana, you are the first and last person to make me do what you want me to, it’s like you have got some magic wand Geet

Geet: it’s good that you understood who the boss is

Maan: now what’s my next order ma’am?

Geet: Riya wants ice cream, go get it for her

Maan smiles…. He knows who wants the ice cream…

Maan: just a minute Riya darling, I will be back with the ice cream

Geet to herself: what more can I expect from Maan Singh Khurana?

Maan couldn’t hear her properly…

Maan: what did you just say?

Geet: that you are the Maan Singh Khurana, and no one can change you

Maan sees that Geet is not happy saying that she can’t win the MSK, he can’t see her upset …

Maan doesn’t want Geet to loose her joyful easy going nature and positive spirit because of Maan…

Maan wants Geet to be herself, he shouldn’t let his negativity affect her …

Maan: unless I myself want to Geet, because I am Maan Singh Khurana, samjhi tum?

Geet is confused… is this a positive clue or a warning?

Geet believes in positivity…

Babaji, Jo bhi ho achcha hi ho, aap mere saath haina?

Geet still has to trust only her babaji, she is not sure if she could trust Maan….

Maan: oh I forgot, what do you two want?

Riya likes anything that looks good and tastes like ice cream…

But Geet, she has a very unique brain with rare choices, that much Maan has understood Geet….

That’s why Geet has chosen you Maan, when will you understand that????

Geet: hmm, let’s go and find out Riya

Geet wants to see all the flavours… .

They go to the ice cream corner…… .

A cute boy is already there enjoying his ice cream…

He is eating it like it’s the most delicious food on earth …

Riya wants to have hers immediately…

But Geet is looking at the flavours and thinking about what to get….

Maan: Riya, which one do you want?

Riya shows the one in the boy’s hand….

Maan : OK, Riya, let’s get that one for you

Maan picks her up and both of them have a peek at the ice cream counter over Geet’s shoulders…

Maan points the one the boy is having….

Geet wants to try the tender coconut ice cream…

Maan: this one please

Geet is surprised… Maan ordered first for himself?

Maan: Riya, yoi6 want this one know?

Maan shows it to Riya to confirm…

That’s apricot ice cream…

Riya: Haan

Geet hears that and is not happy, Riya never chooses her ice cream, it’s always Geet who does it for Riya so that Geet could enjoy two flavours at a time…

Geet interrupts not knowing what they are ordering….

She can’t let them decide…

Geet: what is that? Who would eat that?

Maan: but Geet

Geet can’t let him talk…

Geet: Riya likes this one

Maan looks at Geet confused ..

Maan: Geet, she wants the other one

Geet: when was the last time that you took Riya to get one?

Maan has never got ice cream for Riya, Annie always prohibits Riya from eating them for Riya easily catches a cold …..

It's only after Geet came Riya eats ice cream frequently…

Maan has no answer…

Geet: we eat together always, haina Riyu?

Maan keeps quiet after that…

Geet gets the coconut ice cream and gives it to Riya…

Now it’s Geet’s turn…

Geet wants to try all of them…

She couldn’t choose one…

Maan: Geet, what happened? Don’t you like any of them?

Geet turns and stares Maan…

She then looks at the boy…

Geet wants that just like Riya…

Geet: that one please

Maan is stunned….

Maan: Geet, aye you sure you want that?

Geet ignores Maan…

Geet: bhaiya, what flavour is that?

Bhaiya: apricot

Geet: one apricot for me

They are having their ice cream whileaan keeps watching them…

Geet enjoys her ice cream fully…

After a while, its time for Geet to try the next one…

Geet: Riyu, try this

Geet swaps the cups with Riya…

Maan wonders who is the bigger baby ? Riya or Geet?

Geet has celebrated her victory while Maan is happy to be just supporting Geet as long as everything goes well…
