Chapter 75

Part - 74

At KM…

Maan and Geet come with Riya…

Geet heads to the kitchen to feed Riya while Maan goes to the outhouse…

Geet: Riya, what do you want? Shall we make some yummy noodles ?

Riya: hmm, I want noodles

Geet: ok, 2 minutes

Pammy comes…

Pammy: Geet, what are you doing here?

Geet: maa, Riya wants noodles, I am going to cook, do you also want?

Pammy: first you go and see what your husband wants, and also you should not strain much, you go to your room, I will send you the noodles there itself

Geet: ok maa, come Riya, let’s go and trouble your mamu

Pammy: Geet, Riya must be tired, you go, I will take care of her and put her to sleep

Geet: but maa

Pammy: no buts, Riya, you will stay with me tonight, we will watch your favourite cartoons

Riya: hmmm, yea, Peppa pig

Pammy: yes, whatever you want

Geet: ok, Riya, don’t trouble Nani and go to sleep soon

Riya: hmm, ok

Pammy takes charge of Riya at home to give Geet time to take care of her life…

Geet goes to the outhouse….

Maan has just come out of the shower…

Geet doesn’t care to knock and opens the door… Why should she? It’s her room…

Maan didn’t expect Geet…

Geet gets in, sees Maan and stops to watch the treat in front of her eyes ..

Maan senses that Geet is watching him, but is not bothered at all…

He continues to dry his hair but keeps a look at Geet standing behind him in the mirror…

Geet is just staring him unmoved from her position…

Maan: Geet

Geet is lost in her dream….

Maan: Geeeeet

Geet: Haan

Maan: do you want anything?

Maan thinks that she might have come to take something…

Maan moves to make move for her to get to the wardrobe…

Geet: yes, I want

Geet gets closer to Maan…

Geet: you

Geet faces Maan and looks straight into his eyes…

Maneet eye lock…

Maan too can’t take his eyes off…

Maan: Geet

Geet: shhhh, don’t say anything

Geet closes his mouth with her fingers…

Geet: you know the contract is still active, you have to be my husband for 10 more days Maan

Maan can’t escape that easily…

Geet: now Mr. Khurana has to fulfill Mrs. Khurana’s wishes as long as they are married, samjhe app?

Maan keeps looking at her in aww…

Geet: Maan, say something

Maan points to her fingers places over his lips…

Geet: ohh, this, sweet yummy treat that is too close yet out of reach

Geet moves her fingers around to feel them …

Maan: so, what does Mrs.Khurana want?

Geet: you should already know that Mr.Khurana, you have only 10 days left

Maan: so, what should I do Mrs.Khurana ?

Geet keeps looking into his eyes…

Maan has already got the messages…

But he is still adamant, it looks like he will know the worth of his treasure only after losing it…

Maan: Mrs. Khurana, I am still waiting, what do you want?

Geet: nothing, go get some clothes to cover yourself, as of now I am not going to be any more lucky and I can’t take this torture anymore

Maan: what?

Geet gets angry….

Geet: go do whatever you want

Maan: as you wish Mrs. Khurana, then don’t blame me later

Geet: as if you only do whatever I tell you to do

Maan: yes, director ma’am , I am still at your service

Geet: if only I could be the director of your life

Maan: you don’t think you are?

Geet: you think so?

Maan: I know so Geet, else you won’t be here with me while Annie is with Vicky already

Geet: what?

Maan: you thought I’m also as stupid as yourself?

Geet: then why did you agree with my stupid idea?

Maan: because, I actually liked you already

Geet: what?

Maan: you are obviously the best example of ‘the suitable girl’ for anyone

Geet: what do you even mean to say? That I’m a “beautiful, caring, well mannered, Gori ladhki” from the matrimonial ad?

Maan: off course you are

Geet: but how come the “Maan Singh Khurana” liked something pretty ordinary

Maan: because I’m a human basically and not an alien

Geet: so, you too are humane? You were only hiding your emotions all these days?

Maan: I meant physically

Geet: what?

Maan: I’m good looking and you are beautiful, so there is always the attraction

Thank God, Maan’s hormones are like perfectly normal…

At least Geet has one challenge less to face….

Geet: you mean it’s infatuation?

Maan: neither I’m nineteen nor you are sixteen for any infatuation

Geet: you are telling me that I’m old? Who are you Mr? Don’t you realize that you are talking to a woman?

Maan: I mean we are adults to make the right choices

Geet: you are right, I had a lot of options in NZ itself

Maan: but that’s when you haven’t even come across your best option

Geet: forget about mine, you had options? I don’t think so

Maan: there were many for your kind information

Geet: what? Is there any still?

Geet is immediately alerted…

Maan: I haven’t really taken note of them, for I was never interested

Geet: what made you change your mind?

Maan: I didn’t change my mind

Geet: then what’s all this about?

Maan: it was only your stupid idea that has lead me into this mess, the one that I always dreaded to enter

Geet: why the hell are you talking with me if you are not interested?

Geet can’t understand what he wants to say….

Normal log ko normal batein hi samajh mein aathe, aaise batein ko samjhne ke liye alag hi dimag chahiye jo sirf MSK ke paas hi hotha hai…

Maan: I don’t know, I don’t talk much but you have left me with no other option, the only way you understand is through talking, for you have always done only one thing in your life and that is talking

Geet: it’s my success that you are “TALKING” this much

Maan: because you don’t understand anything without words like me

Geet: batein ke bina samajhne walein bekar ke batein kyun kar rahe hai?

Maan: samajhne wale toh bahut pehle hi samajh chuke hai, kuch log ki sirf batein se hi samjhana padta hai

Geet: aapk ka matlab ?

Maan: matlab, your stupid brain needs stupid lectures to understand a simple thing

Geet: I’m not stupid like what you are thinking, you speak in an alien language, that’s the problem

Maan smiles sarcastically…

Maan: are you not stupid? Someone sane would never come up with such stupidity

Maan is talking about her brilliant wedding idea to solve Annie’s problem….

Geet: stupidity?

Maan: could you be more stupid?

Geet: Mein stupid hoon?

Maan: great, you yourself accepted

Geet gets really angry hearing that…

Geet: stupid hogi teri aulat Mr. Khurana

Maan: yeah, that would be because of you only Geet

Geet takes a second to understand it….

Geet keeps looking at him…

Maan moves forward….

Maan: I like you, you are a beauty with a very tiny brain, but it’s not a problem for I’m smart enough to handle your stupidity, that’s why I am here

Geet is rightfully admiring her man this time…

Maan: should I cover myself? Or

Maan moves forward…

Geet looks down…

Maan holds her and moves slightly to open the wardrobe ..

Geet gets disappointed…

“Jhuki jhuki nazar teri, Kamal kar gayi

Uthi jo ek bar, sau sawaal kar gayi“

Geet: what are you doing?

Maan: wait

Maan opens the drawer and takes out something….

Geet blushses as Maan bends on his knees and takes out the ring ..

Maan: Geet, Mujhse Shaadi Karoge?

Geet: ye stupid sawaal nahi hai kya?

Maan: nahi, first answer me

Geet: aap bina koi matlab ke lectures de sakte, mein baat nahi kar sakti kya?

Maan: Geeeeet

Geet: ek baar aap se shadhi karke hi koi faida nahi hua, ab dubara aapse shadhi karke kya hoga?

Maan: what?

Geet: koi itne sundar pyaari ladhki ko itna wait karwa tha hai kya?

Maan: ab tumein batein karne nahi dena chahiye

Maan goes and kisses her….

Geet melts in that hot kiss…

Maan then hugs her tight…

Geet looks at Maan in disbelief….

Geet: babaji ye sapna hai ya sach? Ye MSK hai ya koi aur?

Maan understands Geet’s doubts completely….

Maan could see a thousand expectations more from him in Geet’s eyes…

Maan: mujhse zyada umeed mat rakhna Geet

Maan can’t change over night, and he can only change to a certain extent….

Geet immediately steps back…

Maan pulls her back into the hug …

Maan: I didn’t mean this, I can assure you that I will exceed all your expectations

Maan lifts her and takes her to the bed…. Maahiii….
