Geet walking towards them is blushing at the scene Mann and Pinky make with Mann holding flowers and PInky banana...
well
Mann holds out his arm to Geet after saying good byes to PInky and the flowers finding home in a vase, outside Geet's door...
Geet looks at it and say..ye kya kar rahe hain?
Jab date pe jaate hein to aisa karte hain...
Geet goes achcha and also makes her elbow stick out the way Mann did..Mann shaking his head and smiling..tumhein bahut kuch sikhana hai..
takes her hand and wraps it in the crook of his arm and then starts going towards his car...
He opens the door for her, sits her in helps with the duppatta that was hanging out...an eyelock moment there...before he goes to his side of the car... feeling Geets eyes following him all the time..
he enters buckles his belt and says...apni seat belt bandh lo...
Geet fumbles with it and Mann leans over to help her...hand brushes and touches her as he draws the belt across her torso....snaps the buckle in and snaps out of his trance. starts the car and moves out of the curb.
Geet asks where are we going?
Mann...you relax sit back and enjoy the ride...
Geet says par aap ko kuch baat karni thi...
Mann looks at her for a sec..and says..not now...let me drive...now..
once we reach...there..we shall talk...
Mann has organised a tete a tete for them at a romantic resort which has man made lake and boating facility..
a table has been set for them on the promanade on the shore...
cool breeze floating in...and... teasing Geet's open hair..
Once seated...at a candle lit table with a single pink rose in a vase.. i think for some reason Geet is not into red roses....
that matches her outfit... and the candles bring out the sparkles in her borrowed diamond studs and pendant. Bless Pinky...
Mann knew Geet is seedhi saadhi kurri...so the fare is simple yet scrumptious meal...
Mann has already given orders for privacy...Geet is fascinated with the place and darting her eyes around the place and says..kitni sunder jagah hai..na...
mann is staring at her and say..yeah...lekin tumse nahin...and that gets him full attention from Geet.
Geet now starts what she had been wanting to say all day and Mann had not given her that opportunity..
Sir i mean Mann...kyon aap aisa kar rahe ho..ye theek nahi..hai...
mein subah se aapse baat karna chahti thi..after you know..the..you know...the ...file room. you..know...
Mann gives a small smile..and says putting his one hand on geet's fingers and absently playing with them tilts his head looks deeply into her eyes and say kya theek nahi hai...tum aur mein? kyon...mujhmein kuch kharabi and makes to look at his clothes and turn his face this and that for Geet to see..
Geet smiles and say..nahi aisa nahi..mein aap...ye theek nahi hai..
you dont know anything about me...
mein...
Mann..mein tumhein jaanta hoon... tum kaun ho kahan se ho...kaisi ho..sab jaanta hoon....dont forget i was the one who helped you with your family....tumhein mein bachchya hai..tumhare bhai se...so i cant be that bad...
Geet is shaking her head..nahin nahin...aap nahin samajh..rahe..
Mann now..having enough...gets up and pulls her out of her chair... with the hand he was holding and say...
chup no arguing..not tonight.tonight..is for..us....just..feel..the air...the music...
she says..music...?
Mann says...Geet...tumhein kuch bhi nahi aata...!
suno...he puts his hand near her ears and her hand on his heart..and says...dhak dhak..dhak dhak....do you hear that?...hear the rhythm, hear the music..suno..dil kya keh raha hai...
aaj sirf tum ho aur mein hoon..aur..yeh..fizaa... bas...no past no future just this moment..right now right here...
Feel the music in our hearts Geet...and feel..it beat for each other...
i have been wanting to not hear it..lekin..tumhari saadgi..tumhari...sundarta...tumhara bholapan..all have conspired to make me fall for you...and yes...i can say..this to you tonight...
tum mujhe..bahut pasand..ho...
Geet is dumbstruck.... and gaping.. Mann says Mooh band karo..and come close i want to dance with you..and does an impromptu slow dance with Geet cheek to cheek with his arms around her waist and her arms he drapes around his neck...
Just be in this moment Geet...
Geet wanting to say something looks at him and gets lost in his eyes..and feel of him... all forgotten...everything but here and now...
to be continued...
