Chapter 65

Part – 64

Maan picks up Geet finally on time…

Geet: not bad, you just made it, let’s see if I could beat your timing

Maan: what? You want to race at this time?

Geet: what other options do I have Maan?

Geet looks into his eyes with an unquenched passion…

Maan gives the keys to her and is ready to give in to her first choice itself….

Geet wants to drive because she wants to be with Maan the whole night, she doesn’t want him to take her on a fifteen minute drive….

Maan: so, who are these friends Geet?

Geet didn’t expect that….

Geet: what?

Maan: that you are going to meet in Kolkata

Geet: ohhh them

Geet starts to think about names….

She doesn’t want to get caught…

Maan: yes, them

Geet: why do you care about them so much? Are you jealous that I am going to meet my boyfriends?

Maan: boyfriends?

Geet: yes

Geet turns and looks for Maan’s reaction…. .

None ….. it’s the same MSK look….

Geet: they don’t know that I am married Maan

Maan: do I care? Why are you telling me all this? Anyways this lie is about to end soon Geet

Geet: do you want this to end Maan?

Geet wants to know for real …

Maan: I don’t know Geet, it’s your script

Geet: this is not the director asking, this is Mrs. Maan Singh Khurana asking

Maan: but Geet

Geet pulls over the car and looks into his eyes to find out the real feelings of Maan….

Geet: I know you are just acting, it’s my script, but do you want to continue to play the part? As Shakespeare said, we are all acting in someway or the other

Maan: I don’t know, but I will definitely miss being ordered by someone and doing things that I would otherwise never ever dream to do

Geet: then why do you do it?

Maan: because I signed the contract Geet

Geet: let’s forget the contract for a moment Maan, do you think I have become a friend? Are we friends?

Maan: like those boyfriends of yours?

Geet: yes, are you my boyfriend?

Maan: not really, but I wouldn’t mind going on drives with such a friend

Geet: I am happy that I could be a choice of company for someone as lonely as you Maan, I want to be your companion forever, I don’t want you to be alone Maan, life is too precious to be lost in your loneliness, I will always be there for you Maan

Maan: that’s really a privilege to know that I have got you Geet, thanks

Geet: you can change the privilege into your everyday life if you want Maan

Maan: sometimes it’s really hard to get your dialogues Geet, do keep them simple

Maan and his useless attitude, Geet is fed up with that…

Geet: i will find a better actor next time, one who gets my dialogues easily

Maan: best wishes finding one Geet

Geet: I will find one in Kolkata, goodbye

Geet leaves angrily….

Maan understands what’s in her mind, the one thing that bothers him is, did he lead her into this in anyway?

This is what Maan was scared of, Geet is the last person Maan wants to hurt…

She is too good to deserve anything but happiness, Maan wants her to be as herself, as the happy carefree go getter Geet who finds her happiness within herself, he doesn’t like the one he just saw, Maan would never want her to seek happiness in someone else…. She might not find it!!!!!

Geet tells everyone the same story and boards the flight to Mumbai instead….

Lucky comes to receive Geet….

Pari has arranged for Geet’s stay at her home itself…

Lucky: welcome to Mumbai Geet, the city of dreams, a few successful ones but mostly unfulfilled dreams

Geet: wrong dialogue, Mumbai, the city that makes you keep dreaming bigger and bigger until you make it really big, like SRK, veerji, you could be the next SRK, if you are lucky

Lucky: luck is only in my name and in my dreams

Geet: veerji, if you don’t believe in yourself them how do you expect others to?

Lucky: Geet, how come you still have hopes about Bollywood after seeing Vicky like this?

Geet: it’s just that bro is not made for Bollywood, he is not used to surviving on his own in adversities, everyone uses his weakness, that’s the problem

Lucky: I will drop you at Pari’s apartment, you take rest and we will meet in the evening

Geet: ok veerji

Pari’s place….

Pari: halo Geet, nice to meet you

Geet: same here Pari

Pari: sorry I couldn’t come to the airport Geet, I was held up in a meeting

Geet: it’s ok Pari, lucky veerji was there

Pari: you go and refresh, I will get you something to eat

Geet: can I get Vada pav?

Pari: sure

Pari orders Vada pav for breakfast…

Geet: ohh, my Vada pav, thanks, they look yummy

Pari: they are

Geet takes a bite….

Geet: hmm I love it, so, did you call Tara ?

Pari: I did, she was first surprised but I managed that I was a little busy with my new project

Geet: did you talk about bro?

Pari: I didn’t

Geet: good

Pari: that’s why Tara was happy to talk

Geet: now you should keep talking to her like this

Pari: ok , then what?

Geet: then we should meet bro

Pari: but how Geet?

Geet: how? How? How do you usually meet?

Pari: at parties

Geet: ok then, when is the next party?
