Next morning. . . .
Khurana Mansion. . . .
Strangely, Maan got up in morning early than his usual time & without any1 waking him up. He got ready & went down for breakfast. SV was reading newspaper & was sipping his tea. Maan went to dinning table & wished him, "Good morning Pops!" SV was so shocked😲 to see him all ready that too this early as it was 7:00 am only & then addresing him as "Pops" which he used to call when he was kid or maybe very happy. He was so shocked, surprised that he literally spitted out the tea he was drinking & started coughing.😆 Maan got worried seeing him like that. He immediately started rubbing his back & passed him water. SV calmed slowly & then Maan asked, "wot happened, Pops?" SV looked at him 1st gave him accusing look like U-did-it-&-now-asking-wot-happened which Maan cudn't get & then gave him a questioning look & asked, "wot did u just call me??" Maan was confused & thot, "wots wrong wid Pops?" Its then only it striked Maan that he had call SV "Pops" instead of "Dad" which he only calls him when is either extremely cheerful or want something from SV. He smiled & said, "Oh, that! U mean I call U Pops, huh?" SV dint speak just nodded a yes. Maan spoke, "so wots wrong wid it? I call u Pops many times, don't I?" SV nodded yes & said, "yes U did call me Pops but only when U want something." Maan spoke immediately, "Correction Pops, I call u so when I am very happy also & also coz I Love You a lot." SV looked at him keenly & said, "so are u happy 2day or u want something? And, also tell me how come ur up this early 2day?" Maan chuckled at his SV's dilemma & said, "relax Pops! main apki pocket par attack nahi karoonga. Its just I am very happy 2day. 2ndly, I have to reach school early that's I woke up early. So, chill!" SV just kept looking at Maan & thot, "yeh aur iski maa jab bhi bahut khush hote hain tab ya toh meri jeb(pocket) dheeli hoti hai ya phir koi na koi panga hota hai. I just hope iss baar kuch naya ho!"😆
A cheerful Maan
Maan finished his breakfast & went for school leaving behind a perplexed SV. He reached Vishrut's place & then both went for school. Even Vish too was little surprised to see Maan early. He had noticed him talking to Geet the other day & was hell shocked as Maan never talk to girls & never even give them a second. So, he thot he wud ask him but cudn't get chance & now his behaviour wasn't helping either.
Meanwhile, Handa Residence. . . .
The scene here was not much different from the previous day with all hustle - bustle spread all over. The only thing new is that Rano has somehow managed to wake Geet early exactly by 10mins today😆 for which Geet was all grumpy😡 but Rano coudn't care less abt it. Rishab was happy as now they can go by car coz yesterday they were almost caught by traffic cop. And, not to mention credit goes to The Geet Handa.😃 So, after breakfast both had left for school & Rano heaved a sigh of relief after bidding them bye.
Geet & Rishab reached school & Akriti was glad to find them on time as now atleast for 2day wud be spare from any scolding. Akriti saw Geet was in a bit grumpy mood & she asked Rishab for reason & he narrated the entire morning fiasco. Akriti laughed😆 hearing & hi-5d him making Geet more irritated. She stomped her foot & walked out to the class while Akriti chased her all the way to class & she knew she has to manaofy her now. But the sight welcomed Akriti in class was billion worth of watching.
Angry Young Geet🤣 (Warning : Don't mess wid her!)
Geet was leaning over a gal, pointing her index finger to her & looking at her angrily in her totally Sherni mode & then she spat, "listen u bimbo I don't care wot lipstic u wear & which food won't destroy ur gloss. U want to eat this biscuits, then eat & wave ur tail like a doggy I don't care but don't ever tell GEET HANDA wot to do & wot not to. Do u get that?" She shouted on the top of her lungs scaring the hell out of that poor girl & was abt to litterally jump on the bechari gal🤣 when Akriti held her brought her to their seat & gradually calmed her down. But through out the day Geet's temper was high & she was blasting on any1 & every1. Infact, Akriti had literally requested her not to come to tution😆 as she dint want any scene to be created on the 2nd day of the class itself par Geet kahan maanne wali thi. Akriti silently prayed that nothing go wrong at class.
Evening. . . .
Maan had been eagerly waiting for the class throughout the day. He had been exceptionally cheerful making Vishrut hell confused. Maan even went to Vishrut's early in evening as he din't want to get late for class & miss any entertainment over there. Least he knew the source of his entertainment was in a very foul mood 2day.😆
Meanwhile, Geet too had gotten ready & Akriti had told her she wud reach directly. Geet went down had her juice bid bye to Rano wid a stern smile,😳 remember she's still angry wid her for waking her early,😆 settled in car & went.
Maan reached the class well b4 time, preciesely 10mins b4 the class time. He dint wait for Vishrut to follow him & straight away went inside, entered the deserted class room & took his seat which he had taken the earlier day & also he had placed his bag on the stool on his right indicating seat has been taken.😃
Gradually students started coming & all took their seat & interestingly the sitting was quite similar to previous day's with Akriti sitting on left of Vishrut & he sitting to left of Maan & Maan's right side seat was still empty.😉 The tutor entered & sat on his seat. Some students were asking him some doubts while Maan was looking at his watch & then to door restlessly. Its 7:05pm & Geet wasn't there & he cudn't even ask her friend. He dipped his head down in disappointment when some1 came & sat beside him removing his bag from the stool. Maan wud have shouted for doing this but he knew no1 has the audacity to mess wid him & a smile crept on his lips as he knew who's the person. He raised his head & turned to his right & at the same moment the person looked to him. He gave his very charming smile & the other person cudn't help but smiled back to him.
Well, this was the very 1st smile which appeared on Geet's face in the entire day.😊
Geet herself dint know why she smiled back to him when she hadn't smiled at any1 the entire day but for some reason she cudn't keep her anger when she saw Maan smiling at her sweetly. She actually felt good when he looked at her & smiled. The other thing was why she went & sat beside there only when there were some seats vaccant. She dint even think twice b4 removing his bag & he too dint say anything. She was thinking all this when someone poked her shoulder. She looked at her left only to find Maan poking her with his pen. She looked at him questioningly to which he gestured her to come closer & whispered to her, "wot happen to u?? why r u looking upset?" Geet looked at him surprised not knowing how he knew she's upset & bluntly voiced her doubt, "how do u know I am upset?" Maan smiled at her innocent querry & replied, "ur face said it all! So, tell wot happen?" Geet wondered how easily he had read her face & said, "nothing much, bas subah mom se thoda u know fight ho gaya tha!" Maan smiled at her & said, "woh toh subah ki baat thi naa, toh ab tak kyu mood off hai tumhara?" Geet just twisted her lips & said, "coz maine ab tak mom se baat nahi ki hai & I can't stay widout talking to her." Maan looked at her amused & said, "and so ur letting out ur frustration on every1 else in ur vicinity, right!" Geet just nodded in yes. Maan said, "but u dint scold me, why?" Geet looked at him & said, "I cudn't. When I saw u smiling so sweetly I cudn't retort back." Maan smiled at her honest confession & said, "see now ur mood is better & I suggest that when u go back home just go & hug ur mom & all ur frustration will disappear." Geet looked at him for some moment & then spoke softly, "but why r u helpig me? I mean we hardly know each other." Maan chuckled & extended his hand under the table to her & said, "well, then friends 1st!" Geet smiled widely this time😃 & shook her hand wid his & said, "ok, friends" & was abt to pull back her hand when Maan gripped it firmly & said looking in her eyes, "FOREVER!" Geet looked in his eyes & knew he meant it with all his heart & so nodded her head in affirmation. Maan left her hand & then said, "I hope ki ab tum apne iss newly found friend ki baat maan logi." Geet went thoughtful for a moment & said, "I guess ek bar baat maanne mein koi harz nahi hai." Both giggled softly not drawing any attention to themselves.
Finally when they were done with their talking, they thought to pay attention to the class too.😆 Hence, both focused wot Mr. Kaushik had been teaching. Soon both were immersed in the subject but kept on glancing each other, or commenting something to each other abt other students or Mr. Kaushik or something. Both were enjoying the class or rather enjoying each other's company. Maan was happy in his heart that he has managed to make Geet happy who was looking all grumpy & sad some time ago. He dint know why but he dint like her sad & dull face. He felt some kind of strange sensation in his chest when he saw her trying hard to smile back at him. But now he felt contented seeing her smile with all her heart.
On the other hand, Geet felt very relaxed & calmed after talking to Maan. She wondered how come Maan whom she had known only since 2 days has manged to change her mood & that without doing anything fancy which her friends had been trying to do thru out the day. His one smile had managed to make her smile & she has actually shared wot has been bothering her since morning to him. And, strangely he hadn't laugh at her rather gave her an advice which she knew was the best. She again looked at him & smiled & at the same moment Maan happened to look to her. She mouthed a "thank you" to which he smiled & whispered to her "anytime".
Rest of the class went well & it was time to end the class. The class got over & students started exiting. Akriti & Vishrut had gone wid Mr. Kaushik as they had some doubt leaving Maan-Geet behind who silently walked out of the class & went to the parking lot together.
