Updated-
Sorry for the delay my waffles! 🤗
Pinky had convinced Geet that she would look different and equally beautiful if she wore the black dress Maan and her had shopped for together. So, Geet decided that she will wear that only.
Maan had been asking Adi for help but had finally decided on a simple black shirt and black jeans. Knowing he looked his best in black, he decided to show his caring side to Geet and accordingly went to her room.
Pinky- Dd..i mean..Sir..Aap..bohot..achhe lag rahe hain..Main jaati hoon
Maan smiled faintly at her and she left, leaving Geet and Maan alone.
Maan- Geet..Main kaisa lag raha hoon?
Geet-jaise lagte hain..waise hi...
MAan- OH..you mean no difference?
Geet- nope.
It isn't technically a lie, she thought. He doesn't look different. It's only me who is seeing him differently..For me, he looks like a God come to Earth- resplendent in his simple black shirt.
Maan- Oh..
His face fell..if she didn't think he looked good..then there was no point.
But he had decided he will show her his caring side..so
Maan- Geet. What do you feel like eating? Are you craving something? LEt's go eat that
Geet- umm...I don't know Maan...I will be very happy with Maggi also..But it's your wish..what do Pinky and Adi want to eat matters too.
Maan- of course it matters, but to me, what you want to eat matters most
Geet- 😲 Maan...what is your favorite international cuisine?
Maan- hain? Chinese.
Geet- let's go eat chinese
MAan- but Geet...
Geet- no questions..Chinese
Maan- Okay..as you wish.
Geet stars pushing Maan out of the room
Geet- Ab go..I have to get ready..
When he stops and holds both her hands in both of his
Geet- kya hua?
Maan- I want to tell you something
Geet's heart started beating very loudly but she smiled and asked what
Maan- I think Adi likes Pinky...
Geet- OH...I think she likes him too...
Both looked at each other and Geet went
Geet- hahaha..MAan..let's help them..let's play matchmakers!!
Maan- Geet..Are you mad. MAan Singh Khurana...
Geet- I know I know..will never play matchmaker...but he will..Please!!!
Maan inwardly smiled at her enthusiasm and said okay
He left and Geet, smilingly got ready
Pinky and Geet hadn't come downstairs yet and the guys were getting tired of waiting
MAan- Yeh ladkiyan bhi na..They take soo much time in getting ready, that we shouldn't take them anywhere
Adi- hahahahaha(adi Laugh) Correct sir...Iw ish they would hurry up..
MAan- Kahin Geet ko ...
Adi- No sir..See, they are here
Pinky looking very cute in a blue salwar-suit while Geet wore the black dress
MAan and Adi both looked at them..speechless for once.
Their eyes spoke volumes though...
MAan (softly)- Geet....
Geet shyly looked up into her husband's eyes..completely surprised by the way he had said her name...and the way he was looking at her..like she was to be revered....
Adi and Pinky moved away, leaving the two alone for a moment
MAan- You look so...different..
Geet- different..I hope you like it?
MAan- Like it? ahem...um..let's go..we're getting late
Geet, feeling confused, followed him.
Maan's head was reeling and his heart beating so fast, he could barely keep up...
It was now official- Geet's beauty was internal. The clothes she wore..anything she wore...in everything she looked equally beautiful. He might have thought in the beginning that it was because of her simple dressing sense that he was attracted to her, but now he realised it was her...everything about her. It was her inner goodness that shone through...
At the restaurant..Geet was feeling extremely conscious of her dress..it reached her knees, and she was feeling extremely cold..but she hid it well..
Maan excused himself for a minute, and went to the manager..gave him special instructions that the Air Conditioner be turned off..
Manager- but Sir..We cannot do that..Will be inconvenient to other guests.
Maan- I'm MAAN SINGH KHURANA..IF I say I don't want the AC on..I will not stay even for a minute, if it stays on.
A very scared manager turned it off.. Maan being one of their most important customers.
He came back to the table- and Geet looked at him questioningly..He went upto her chair, bent and whispered in her ear-
MAan- I hope you're not feeling cold now.
Geet was so shocked that he had noticed...and moreover asked the people there to switch off the Ac..when he himself felt hot.
After dinner, MAan asked Geet if she wanted to have anything sweet.
Geet replied no.
Adi and Pinky looked at each other..Pinky wanted to have Cheesecake..so Adi said, MAan and Geet should carry on and they will stay a while.
MAan and Geet looked at each other, said their goodbyes and left
Geet- MAan..I think you were right..I think they do like each other..AWw..I'm so glad they can spend more time together.
Maan couldn't take his eyes off her.
And she continued
Geet- A great dinner...Thanks for making it great. Do you like this dress on me better than my suits?
MAan didn't answer but asked her where she wanted to go for ice cream
Geet- how do you know I wanted to have ice cream?
Maan- Geet.. YOu have been craving sweets everyday. How can it be possible that you don't have your daily dose.
Geet - there is this guy who sits near our place..udhar chalte hain.
Maan- and then would you like to go for a drive
Geet- that would be nice. I like sititng in the car while you drive. It helps me relax
MAan was pleased to hear that and said
Maan- I have an idea. How about after dinner. Everyday, we go for a drive? If you'd like to,that is.
Geet was extremely happy and grinning widely
Geet- OO..I'd love that! But are you sure it won't be too much trouble..office ke baad..?
Maan- nope..Like you said, it helps you relax..Driving with you sitting beside me helps me relax too..
Just to lighten the mood a little, he continued
MAan- you see, I don't have to worry about you getting into some other trouble!
Geet- MAAN!!Stop it! uff..so what..everyone can be clumsy.
MAan- yes Geet.
They had ice cream-...even MAan who found he quite enjoyed Mango-duet while Geet had a cornetto, then the two had one more each..this time Geet a mango duet and Maan a cornetto..
Both completely lost in each other and happier than they had been in a very very long time.
Both understood that the evening was a success..not for either of them..but for both of them together...
okay guys..that's it..tell me if it got sweet..too sweet....and tell me how many of you went to have ice cream or chinese after reading this!
LOL..love ya
