Chapter - 6
"Is it really her?", Maan thought to himself while looking into her hazel brown eyes.
The ring of their mobile phones brought them out of their reverie. Maan helped Geet stand straight. Geet was about to answer her phone when it stopped ringing all of a sudden. Maan looked at her and answered his call. He told the person on the other end that he'd call them back in a short while and disconnected the call.
He couldn't believe that he had bumped into her again. It brought back memories of the very first time he had seen her when she had bumped into him in Shimla. It was like dj vu for him.
"So we meet again.", Geet said, snapping Maan out of his reverie.
"Uh?yes!", he said fumbling. " I never thought that we would meet each other like this again.", he said.
"Well such things are bound to happen since we live in the same city.", Geet said. "By the way, how is dadima doing?", she asked.
"She's doing very well, it was very thoughtful of you to ask and I am sorry for the other day. We didn't get to thank you for what you had done.", he said apologetically.
"Oh! That's ok. I was just doing what anyone else would have.", she said humbly.
"Well, for you it might not have been much of a big deal but it is for me, considering the fact that you helped the person who means the most to me. No matter how much I thank you, it won't be enough. Is there anything I can do to repay you for what you did?", he asked her.
"Well there is one thing you can and that is to take care of your dadima. That's more than enough.", she said genuinely.
Suddenly her mobile rang again.
"Well, I have to get going now. It was nice meeting you. Bye!", she said and walked away.
"Bye!", he said in a dazed state. He still couldn't get over the fact that he had actually met her again.
He made his way back to the restaurant when he realized that he hadn't asked her, her name.
"Oh no! How could I have forgotten to ask her, her name, again?!", he thought, irritated with himself.
He quietly sat down while still cursing himself in his mind. Savitri Devi noticed that her grandson seemed a little perturbed by something.
"Kya hua beta? Is everything alright?", she asked sounding concerned.
"Everything is fine dadima.", he said reassuringly. "I bumped into the girl who had helped you the other day."
"Really?! That's great! Did you thank her? Did you ask her what her name is?", Dadima asked enthusiastically while mentally thanking every God she could possibly remember for letting Maan and that sweet girl meet again.
Maan looked at her askance seeing her over-enthusiasm. Dadima realized that she sounded a tad bit too excited. "It's just that we didn't get to thank her properly for what she did the other day.", she fumbled trying to cover up, worried that her clever grandson might suspect something.
"Uh haan!", Maan said, sounding unconvinced. "Well the answer to your first question is yes, I did thank her and the answer to your second question is no! I forgot to ask her, her name.", he said, sounding a bit frustrated.
"It's ok beta. If at all you do end up meeting each other again, you can ask her then", dadima said patting his arm. But she did feel a little disappointed within.
"Koi baath nahi Savitri. I am sure we'll see her again.", she consoled herself from within.

"So did you enjoy your dinner Geet?", Meera asked while sitting down on the couch comfortably after freshening up.
"Yup! It was great.", Geet said. "By the way, guess who I bumped into at the hotel today?", Geet said while sitting next to her.
"Who?", Meera asked curiously.
"Your Maan Singh Khurana.", Geet said smugly.
"WHAT!", Meera shrieked almost jumping ten feet into the air. "Seriously! You met the MAAN SINGH KHURANA!", she asked, all excited.
"Yes, I met the MAAN SINGH KHURANA.", Geet mimicked while giggling, seeing her friend's reaction.
"Yaar Geet! This is so not fair! How come you get to meet him every now and then whereas I don't get to see a glimpse of his highness despite having lived in this city for so long?!", Meera sat down with a thump while pouting. Geet couldn't help but giggle looking at her friend pout so cutely.
"Oh,ho! Don't worry my filmy dost! I am sure you'll bump into him at some point or the other. After all you are one of the best interior designers this city has, you know.", Geet said with pride.
"Well, let's hope he does end up needing me at least to do one of his projects' interiors.", Meera said, full of hope.
"I am sure he will. Anyway, it's late and I have to make sure that I attend that meeting on time. It's my first day at work after all.", Geet said while getting up.
"Okie dokie. Good night!", Meera said while hugging her.
"Good night and have sweet dreams about your MSK.", Geet said while hugging her.
"Hayeee! I am sure I will.", Meera said dreamily.
Geet switched off the lights in the hall and they headed for their rooms.
