-Once Upon A Time-
Chapter 10
Geet woke up the next day yawning and stretching at 11:45. She didn't think she'd have such a good sleep on the sofa. She looked around and was shocked. 'How did I get on the bed?' she thought to herself. She looked around for Maan. He was sleeping on the sofa. Geet smiled. She knew Maan must've put her on the bed. 'How Sweet!' she thought to herself. He was sleeping so peacefully. 'And, he tells me I sleep a lot!' she said in her mind. She walked over to the sofa. He was looking so cute sleeping like that. She went on her knees and kissed his cheek. She stood up turning towards the bathroom, but felt a tug on her hand. She turned and saw Maan was holding her hand in his sleep. She tried removing it from his grip but, another powerful tug made her fall right on top of Maan. Maan opened his eyes and saw Geet on top of him.
"Geet, I was awake when you kissed me." said Maan. He smiled when he saw Geet blush.
"Oh...I actually...I mean...Woh..." she had no idea how to explain herself.
"Geet, I know I'm irresistable, but control sweetheart!" he said smiling naughtily. Geet was out of the world when he called her sweetheart.
"No...It's not what you think...Actually I was...Umm...I was-" she started but stopped right there when she felt Maan kiss her cheek.
"We're equal now." said Maan. Geet didn't know what to say. After a while she finally said something.
"Will you let go of me?" she said noticing her position and how close they were.
"Your the one on top of me." said Maan.
"Well...You're the one holding me!" she said trying to free herself. He was holding her wrist and waist.
"Oops...Sorry, Miss Touch Me Not!" he teased letting go of her. She glared at him and straightened herself. She stormed off to the washroom to brush her teeth and take a shower. Maan was left smiling to himself.
_______________
She came out wearing a green summer dress. Maan didn't look at her because he was aware of what happens almost everytime he sees her. After Maan brushed and took a shower, they both ate breakfast. The landslide was all cleared up now. They flew back to Dehli. Geet went to office, and Maan went home to get a file.

"Lekin kyun Maan beta?" asked Dadi.
"Aap kyun shaadhi karna chahte!? Aapko meri fikar nahi hain? Humare bhi kuch armaan hain!" said Dadi dramatically. Dadi had been trying to convince Maan for marriage since the past 20 minutes. Maan sighed.
"Dadi, Can we please not talk about this?!" said Maan tired of this discussion.
"Nahi Maan! You have to tell me when you're getting married. I want to see my great grandchildren before I die." said Dadi sternly.
"Dadima! Please don't talk about dying all the time! I promise you'll see your great grandchildren before you die, but just not yet, okay!" said Maan.
"But When!?" asked Dadi. Maan was fed up now.
"Dadi, Tommorow I will introduce you to your future daughter-in-law! Okay! Now I'm leaving, Bye!" said Maan angrily turning to leave.
He sat in the car and thought about what he said. 'Now what!? Who am I gonna introduce to daadi!?' he thought. Suddenly, he thought about Geet. He knew he had feelings for Geet but, he just didn't want to admit that he loves her. He was denying even though he knew that he did love Geet. 'I'll try to convince Geet!' he thought in his head imagining her face when he does. 'She'll probably widen her eyes and blow a huge bubble from her stupid gum!' Maan smiled imagining her do that. Then, he wondered what she'll say.
'Huh??' or
'What the hell are you saying!!??' or
'Maan sir...aap theek ho??' or
'What the hell!?? NO!' or
'Ya sure!'
He frowned thinking how less the chances for the last one are. He wondered which one of those would be her reaction. He called her in his cabin. She entered his cabin.
"Geet I have to tell you something..." he said.
"Go ahead" she said confused.
"Will you marry me?" he asked emotionless. Geet widened her eyes and blew a bubble from her gum which she stole back from Maan in the airplane when they were coming back. Maan smiled. That was exactly what he'd imagined
"Huh??...What the hell are you saying!!??...Maan sir...Aap theek toh ho...What the hell?? NO!" she said baffled by his proposal. 'Wow!! She says everything I thought she would except for the only answer I would have liked!' he thought annoyedly.
"Listen Geet...I don't actually want to marry you...It's just that Dadi was eating up my brain to get married, and I told her I'll make her meet my future wife tommorow...Just to get Dadi off my back!" he explained.
"Oh!" she said realizing the truth.
"So what can I do about that? Why me? Ask Sasha...She'll happily jump on you!" said Geet giggling. Maan rolled his eyes. 'Now what?! How am I supposed to convince her!?' thought Maan. Just then, an idea struck him.
"I told Dadi already that it's you!" said Maan laughing inwardly.
"She was so happy! If I tell her it's Sasha her heart would completely shatter! She hates Sasha!" said Maan.
"Who doesn't?" added Maan. Geet giggled a bit.
"But...I can't! This is totally ridiculous!" said Geet.
"No, It's not! We'll just fake we're in love and get engaged...And then, we'll break up!" he said as if it were the simplest thing ever.
"But, that's just not right! How can we lie to Dadi like that!?" asked Geet.
"Geet...Dadi's health isn't good right now! We're doing this for her!" said Maan.
"Argh!! Fine!" she groaned.
"But, I have some rules" said Geet.
"What rules?" asked Maan.
"No Touching! No Kissing!" she said. Maan chuckled.
"Okay...Miss TouchMeNot" he said between laughter. She glared at him like she always did when he called her that.
"I'll tell you when we're gonna meet Dadi, tomorrow. You can go back to your cabin now" said Maan. Before she left Maan purposely poked her near her shoulder. She angrily slapped his hand away.
"Oops! I'm sorry, Miss TouchMeNot!" said Maan grinning. Geet rolled her eyes and left.
_______________
The next day Maan again called Geet to his cabin.
"Dadi told me to invite you for dinner today at nine. She's super excited" said Maan. He told Dadi that it was Geet, so that his lie wouldn't be a lie anymore.
"Okay" said Geet.
"We're just gonna pretend to love each other" said Maan. Geet looked downwards as she heard the words 'Love Each Other'. It caused a tinkling sensation in both their hearts.
"Okay" she said leaving.
"Wait!" said Maan. She turned around.
"Umm...Where a saree...Uhh...Dadi will like it if you do" he said. He knew that was a complete lie. He was the one who wanted to see her in a saree again.
"Okay" she said again before leaving. Maan smiled to himself.
_______________
Geet rang the doorbell of Khurana Mansion. She was wearing a bottle green saree, with her hair open. Dadi herself opened the door, and hugged Geet.
"I'm so happy, you're going to be my daughter-in-law Geet!" she said cheerfully. Maan was secretly standing behind one of the pillars staring at Geet. He was completely mesmerized. His Geet was looking so beautiful. He felt wierd by the way he was staring at her secretly from behind a pillar. He had never done something like this. It was so not like Maan. He came out.
"Hey Geet! You're finally here!" he said. He went upto her and pulled her into a small side hug. Geet widened her eyes. 'What the hell is he doing!?'
"Umm...Hi!" said Geet glaring at him. Dadi was feeling so great seeing the two lovebirds.
"Why don't you guys sit and talk while I bring the food" said Dadi. The three of them walked towards the dining table. Maan slid his hand around Geet's waist pulling her towards himself as they walked the dinner table. Geet tried to remove Maan's hand and gave him an angry look. As soon as Dadi disappeared into the kitchen, Geet threw his hand away.
"What the hell were you doing?" asked Geet angrily whispering so Dadi can't here.
"I was acting in love with you! What else?!" he replied.
"Well...You're overreacting!" she retorted.
"And remember, No Touching! Forgot the rule already!?" asked Geet.
"So what? Not like there's some contract!" said Maan.
"Haww! You took it as a joke! I was serious you know!" she said angrily.
"I know you were! But, for your imformation Maan Singh Khurana makes and follows his own rules!" he said arrogantly. Geet rolled her eyes.
"Oh and by the way you look gorgeous in this saree...not to mention hot!" he said. Geet just stared at him shocked. He was starting to compliment her a lot now. Before she could say something Dadi came with the food.
"We're just waiting for Dev and Naintara now" said Dadi.
"What? Dev and Naintara are coming?" asked Maan kind of shocked.
"Yes. I called them so they could be a part of your engagement. Dev is your brother after all and really wanted to know who changed his brother's mind about never getting married!" said Dadi. Just then the doorbell rang. Dev and Naintara entered along with there four year old kid Preet. Maan and Preet shared a really cute chacha-nephew relationship. Maan ran towards Preet. Preet jumped up into his chacha's arms. Maan spun him around.
"Hey! How's everything going?" Maan asked Dev.
"Going great! Where's bhabhi?" asked Dev. Geet joined them.
"Hi!" she greeted Dev, Naintara, and Preet.
"Oh! So it's you!" he said shaking hands with Geet. Naintara smiled and hugged her in a friendly manner. Naintara wasn't evil, she was just a gold digger. Otherwise, she was really nice.
"Hi Chachi!" said Preet smiling. Geet smiled back at him and took him from Maan.
"Hi! What's your name?" she asked.
"Preet!" he said.
"Hi Preet" said Geet.
They all sat around the dinner table.
"So...When are you guys planning on getting engaged?" asked Dev. Geet who was drinking her water started coughing.
"I was thinking maybe next month" Maan answered calmly.
"Next MONTH??" asked Dev and Naintara at the same time.
"Why? What's wrong?" asked Maan.
"We can't come next month. We're leaving next week, so why don't you guys get engaged next week? That's the only way we can attend" said Dev.
"But next week? Isn't that too early?" asked Maan.
"Please Chachu! I don't want to miss your engagement!" whined Preet. Maan's heart melted everytime Preet spoke, no matter what he was saying.
"Okay then, the engagement will be next week. Is that okay Geet?" said Maan.
"Umm...Okay" she answered. Preet was just too cute to ignore his request. Everyone was done eating. Dadi was getting up to take all the dishes away.
"No Dadi, I'll do it" said Geet.
"Arre nahi Geet" said Dadi.
"Dadi...Maine kaha na main kar dungi" said Geet. Dadi smiled at Geet. Dev and Naintara left the table and went to the family room. Dadi also left.
"Main bhi aapki help karna chahta hoon!" said Preet. Geet smiled sweetly at Preet.
"Okay, you can help me by getting one plate at a time and bringing it to the kitchen" she said. Preet happily collected some plates. 'Chachi ka chamcha! What about me? He's completely ignoring me!' thought Maan irritated. 'I should help too! Maybe Preet will notice me. I've never felt so rejected before' Maan thought angrily. Maan picked up the huge bowl with all the rice and walked to the kitchen. He entered and saw Geet giving Preet ice-cream. Preet happily took it and hugged Geet. Get kissed his cheek lovingly.
"Thanks for the help!" she told him.
'Oh! Abh samajh mein aaya! She's bribing him!...Now it's my turn!' thought Maan in his head.
"Preet! You now I got a new PlayStation3 for you! Aren't you gonna play?" Maan asked setting the bowl on the counter.
"Oh really! Ya! I wanna play! But, I'm gonna finish the ice-cream first. Thanks Chachu! You're the best!" said Preet super excited and sat on the little table in the kitchen. Maan smiled victoriously and walked towards Geet who was washing the dishes.
"You know there are servants in this house" he said to her.
"So...I can do them myself" she said with attitude in a low voice so Preet can't hear.
"I don't care...I just wanted to tell you to stay away from my Preet! He loves me more! Got it?" said Maan. Geet narrowed her eyes at him.
"Woah! Is there some type of competition going on here?" she said trying not to laugh.
"Don't worry I won't steal him from you" she said bursting out laughing. Maan realised how stupid he must've sounded. He glared at her angrily. She stopped laughing. Maan sat beside Preet and talked to him. Geet found Maan and Preet's relationship really cute.
She listened to what they were saying.
"...and then, I told her she's stupid like all other girls and then, she went away angrily and then, I made fun of her again!" said Preet. Maan and Preet started laughing. Geet turned around immediately to look at them.
"Good Job Preet! High Five!" said Maan. Preet high-fived him. Geet's eyes widened. she stopped washing the dishes.
"What the hell are you teaching him?" asked Geet really angry.
"Look Preet! Your Chachi has been eavesdropping on us!" said Maan to Preet. Preet giggled.
"Preet...Don't listen to your Chacha! He's stupid if he tells you girls are stupid!" said Geet.
"Oh! But what if he says that they have no brains and even if they do, there brains don't function properly, and they just do BakBak all day, and they annoy the hell out of you, and they never know what they are saying, and they have no life but to pareshan hot guys like me and Chachu?" Geet gasped and her eyes widened even more. She glared at Maan with the angriest expression ever.
"He told you that!?" she asked Preet while angrily glaring at Maan who was getting a bit scared now.
"Umm...Ya" said Preet. Geet walked over to Maan angrily.
"First of all...You are not hot! And second...Why are you telling the poor kid lies!?" asked Geet angrily.
"Preet! Don't ever listen to your Chacha! He doesn't know anything at all! He just thinks he is good-looking and he's the best person in this world, but he's not. He thinks he makes every girl's heart go Dhak Dhak, but that's not true! He thinks he owns the world! Just orders people around all day! Especially, in office. He think he's smarter than everyone. But actually he's an Ugly, Dumb, Stupid Dusht Dhanav!" said Geet. Preet giggled at her choice of words.
"Chachi, I need to use the bathroom...But, I'll be back to hear more!" he said giggling and then leaving. Maan stood up angrily. He held Geet's arm and shoved her against the wall.
"What did you just say!?" he asked angrily. Geet's eyes widened.
"I'm Ugly?? Huh? I'm Dumb, Stupid? I'm a Dusht Dhanav huh?" he asked.
"Woh...Main..." she started but stopped as Maan came closer. She completely leaned against the wall. Maan was damn close. She looked downwards. Maan smirked.
"Don't I make your heart go Dhak Dhak?" asked Maan teasingly, forgetting his anger. He bent a little and put his head against her heart. Geet's heartbeats went out of control when she felt the side of Maan face again her heart. Maan smiled as he heard her heart racing wildly. Before he could say something. Geet pushed him away.
"Preet's coming!" she said moving away. Preet entered.
"Preet...Do you still think girls are stupid?" asked Geet.
"Umm...I did but, not anymore!" said Preet. Geet smiled and picked him up.
"Good boy!" she said. Maan took him from her.
"Yes they are Preet!" You forgot what I told you!?" asked Maan. Geet snatched him back.
"Preet tell him!" said Geet convincingly. Maan took him from her again.
"Preet tell her!" said Maan convincingly. Geet took him again.
"Preet?! I'm a girl! You seriously think I'm stupid!?" asked Geet pouting adorably.
"Oh! You guys fight like little kids!" said Preet.
"Preet! Just tell her, that girls are stupid!" said Maan. Geet got really angry.
"Dadi! Dadi!" yelled Geet calling Dadi and then sticking her tongue out to Maan.
