Hi gals...am back from my trip to Goa...I really wanted to update sooner but things didn't work out. I hope you ppl aren't pissed off at me...This is a short update....I am working on a longer and more interesting next part which will grace your screens soon enuff. Please pardon the delay.

PART 6

Geet skidded into the Canteen bumping right into Manthan.

"Oye...sambhal ke Geet..." he helped her regain her balance.

"Manthan...hi!!! Kaisa hain tu? Panch saal ke baad....tu bilkul nahi badla..." Geet smiled.

They took their plates and sat at the fartherest corner in the Canteen.

Manthan and Geet had been neighbours. They weren't the bestest of friends but could be passed off as good pals. There were times when they had fought tooth and nail for the silliest of issues.

"Tujhe yaad hain...maine tere posters lagaye the Public Toilet ke bahar..." Manthan roared remembering the incident from his past.

Geet had revealed to his parents that he had failed his history tests and he had in a fit of fury made posters of her and pasted them on the Public Bathroom in the Abohar Bus and Taxi stand.

"Bhool sakti hoon??? Aur maine tere posters dog pound pe lagaye the...." Geet acidly reminded him.

"Yaad hain...aur jab main dukaan gaya biscuits laane Kakkar Uncle ne mujhe dog biscuits ka packet diya......" Manthan struggled to catch his breath.

Geet had been his junior at high school and he had enjoyed bullying her about.

"Yaar what is your proposal score now?" Manthan asked her suddenly.

"Oh....208...without including the Delhi ones..." she chirped back.

"Kya you hit 200 jackpot in Abohar itself????" he sounded dumbstruck.

"Aur nahin to kya...Hey you are forgetting I am Geet...not NT Di...usko propose karne ke liye laundey hazaar baar sochenge...."

"Suna tha woh bhi tumhare saath Delli shift ho gayi..." Manthan had once fancied NT......But soon it had worn off. His new love was.................................

"Haan magar Brij Bhaiyya usse Abohar wapas le gaye...." Geet toyed with the food in her plate. She wondered how things were back at home.

"Oye Geet kya hua? Abohar ke baare mein soch rahi hain?" Manthan placed his hand on hers comfortingly.

Maan had meticulously designed an entertainment package for the Junejas. He had sent Geet for lunch about two hours back and when she failed to reappear he marched into the Canteen to find her.

He found her there alright...But with Manthan looking at her like some lovesick puppy...holding her hand...and she staring back dreamily at him.

It was none of his business...maybe they were lovers. In other circumstances he wouldn't have been bothered...But this was the girl his father had chosen for him before dying. He definitely wanted to know what was cooking between the two of them.

Mentally he informed himself..."Been friends from Abohar probably...now realized they are attracted to each other....and so New Love blossoming in Delhi...what else???!?!?!?! And soon he will propose her and she will blush and sigh and shriek in happiness saying "Yes I will"......same ghissa Pitta story everywhere...."

Manthan's gaze drilled into Geet's and his voice dropped "Toh ho jaye phir se?"

"Apki jo marzi...."

As if acting on Maan's thoughts...Manthan stood up and went down on his knee, holding out his plate infront of Geet....

"Jab jab poocchtey ho ke dil mein kaun hai mere to kaise kahoon
Izhaar ke alfaaz jab lab tak aakar rukne lage to kaise kahoon
Laga hai kai baar aisa ke jab khabar hai tujhko to kehna kya
Phir jab khabar hai hi tujhko bhi to kahe bina rehna bhi kya

I have always dreamed of days when you will be by my side holding my hand and walking my path....I have hoped that you will laugh every morning and fill my day with your essence....I really don't know...when why and how this happened....They say Love Just happens...and to me it did. I want to swing you around in the fields of Abohar...I want you to sing sweet bollywood melodies in your squeaky voice to me...I want to watch movies with you...Basically I want to share my life with you....If you accept...then take a scoop from my plate and if you don't give me a scoop from your plate..."

Maan stood there in shock...The guy was actually proposing. His two seconds earlier 'thought' was materializing in reality before him. He waited in bated breath for Geet's response.

Geet threw her head back and murmured..."209" and took his entire plate. Manthan jumped up and lifted her off the floor while the whole canteen watched in smiles.

Geet caught the look on Maan's face and saw that he was white as a ghost. He could not be...

"Manthan put me down..." she said.

He quickly put her down. She walked upto Maan.."Er Sir.."

"Congratulations" he smiled.

"Sir...no it is not what you are thinking..." she attempted.

He whispered into her ear so that the crowd couldn't eavesdrop on their conversation...

"You know what I am thinking???? Good Riddance to Bad rubbish...Mogambo Khush Hua" he evilly grinned at her.

She looked at him hard and her eyes narrowed in anger..."Oh yeah? Just you watch out Mr. Maan Singh Khurana..."

"Yeah I will watch out for the wedding card...you will surely invite me right. After all I am your boss...."

He said a little louder for everyone to hear.."Miss Geet...if you are now done with your lunch and extras...Could you bring me my lunch to the cabin. It is time you get used to responsibilities after all you will soon be managing a family. You can have some highly useful lessons in taking orders from ME. You will thank me later...and so will you Manthan..."

Manthan looked sheepishly at Maan while Geet tugged at her dupatta in wrath.

He coolly walked out of the canteen neatly sucking off the joyous atmosphere that had been created few minutes back.

Geet picked up a tray and dumped food onto it. She stormed out of the canteen leaving a puzzled Manthan behind.

The food from the plate Geet had snatched from Manthan in acceptance of the proposal lay there untoched....

********************************************************************
"Sir your food..." she thumped the plate on th gateleg table. Maan looked ta her in amusement.

"Itna ghussa....It is a day for you to blush not move around like a spitfire..." he relaxed on the settee loosening his tie. Geet scowled at him.

"God forgot to add patience in your DNA....Can't you ever listen?" she asked him.

"I will listen Miss. Geet....but first you go and hand over this plate to that watchman sitting out...." Maan looked through the glass of his cabin at the watchman who was busily wiping his forehead with the sleeve of his shirt.

Geet looked at him incredulously. "You made me get the food so that I give it to the watchman????"

"Just do as I say..." he curtly ordered.

She strutted off with the plate and he smiled when he saw the touch of a smile on the watchman's lips. Geet was telling him something and he gratefully bowed to her. She beamed and came walking back to his cabin.

"Tum dil ke bure nahin ho...sirf dimaag ki kami hain tum mein..." she opened the door.

"Back at the base...there were days when we went without lunch..." He stood up and his back to Geet.

"Back in your Army didn't you have friends???" she asked.

"We were afraid to make friends...cause we never know whom we may never see again...."

His words lingered in the air making Geet realize the depth of his loneliness.

"Oh! No wonder you can't understand my equation with Manthan...."

"You don't need to give me an endless explanation about you both. The matter is very simple...You and Manthan were childhood friends. Same hometown...spent quality time together. Met again now in Delhi ...he realized you were his Miss. Right...He proposed to you and you accepted. As simple as that..." Maan twirled the paper weight restlessly.

"Not so simple Mr. Maan Khurana....incase you forgot...I did make a promise to a certain dying man that I would stand by his son through thick and thin...." she reminded.

"The promises die with the dead..Geet. You are a free agent...this is a free country...It is your right to democracy...you chose your life partner. My dad can't force his will on you...."

"Maan...that exactly is my point. This is a democratic country...and I have a right to express myself..." she gritted her teeth.

"Go on...I am the most honorable citizen alive..." he said in mock gallantness.

"Fine...I will tell you...but I need a cup of horlicks."

"Not again!!!! Please...help yourself..that Canteen fellow will give you."

"I thought they taught you to help and be gallant in the Army. I didn't know they breed products like you too...." she enjoyed his incensed expression.

"Why do you keep taunting the Army??? You had an affair with some terrorist huh? Oh Maybe I'll find some of Kasab's buddies hiding in your kitchen....."

"No...I absolutely respect and adore our Indian Army...it is only certain Army products that I am allergic to..."

"I give up...I'll get your horlicks. I wonder...how can you manage to drink horlicks at such an odd timing."

He trudged across the cabin to the canteen. In five minutes he was back with a flask and he placed in front of Geet.

"Yeh lo tumhara Horlicks.....waise may I ask why the hell are you allergic to me?? I think we both hit off on the wrong note together from the start. I am still unable to unravel the reasons of you disliking me....."

She poured the horlicks in the mug and looked up at him..."Well I hate your arrogance...you self-importance...your vanity...your high-handed attitude...."

"Fine I'll skip the character assasination...Finish your Horlicks..."

She stood up and handed him the mug."Drink it up. You haven't had lunch and Horlicks keeps one strong...."

He looked at her...... floored at her gesture.

"Stop shooting bullets with your eyes Group Captain. Drink it up...You yourself got it...so you shouldn't accuse me of spiking the drink with poison."

Maan took the mug from her and shook his head "You are weird...."

"Maybe. Now coming back to point...whoever said that Females have a tendency to jump to conclusions was either a freak or maybe a super genius who realized that Maan Singh Khurana isn't man enough...."

Maan choked on the horlicks.

"You are putting a question mark on my gender???" he mouthed disbelievingly.

"Partly...and am accusing the person who quoted it....for he or she is seriously mistaken. You are a living proof to disprove him...see not only females are carping."

"Talk English Geet...be clear..."

"You entered the canteen saw Manthan on the floor proposing to me and you believed it?"

"Can you get more senseless?.....Ofcourse I don't have any other reason to disbelieve the scene...and why are you making a hue and cry about this?"

"Cause Mr. Maan...I am the Proposal Queen of Abohar...."she airily told him.

"Proposal Queen???? Some title you've earned yourself...." he scoffed.

"Oh yes...That means ...that almost all the guys in Abohar have rehearsed their proposals with me. Manthan was doing the same. He was the 209th on my list. He has been in love with Harvin from ages back. It was our little secret. He was practising his proposal on me...."

"209th mock proposal?!?!?! Are you serious?" Maan's eyes popped out in skepticism.

"Right...209th....Guess I am used to these mock proposals....I doubt I'll ever recognize a real one in my life again..." she sighed.

Maan chortled with laughter and set the empty Horlicks mug down on the table.

"Proposal Queen...great going....Ladhakoo...my god! You have a pretty interesting nickname list...."

"I prefer you stick to Geet..."

They heard a knock on the door. An anxiety-chewed Manthan entered the cabin.

"Sir..Let me explain...I am sorry about that scene in the canteen.." he began.

"Geet has done the honours already. Manthan I am not gonna fire you for mock proposing to my associate"

"I am honestly sorry sir....It was just that I wanted to rehearse my proposal on Geet. Tomorrow is Harvin's birthday and I wanted to make it more special for her..."

"Calm down man...You take the day off to prepare for her birthday.." he offered graciously.

"Thank you so much sir...." Manthan was on cloud nine.

"Hop along buddy..." Maan smiled.

Geet winked at Manthan and showed him a thumbs up.
