okay people,
reading all your comments i could not help but come and post another update here....!!!!!! so, here's part 27 Part 27- Love and war!!!!
Geet was getting bored at home. She had not spoken to her dusht danav for so long and pinky kept asking her to watch really boring movies. Finally geet had to lie that she was tired and would like to rest for sometime. Geet walked into the bedroom, she had secretly stolen the phone from the sofa to call maan. She wanted to talk to him but she was expecting him to call her. He did not.she waited all day but her wait went futile.
She was frustrated. "yeh maan sir bhi na, laptop aur do files leke bait gaye honge.meri yaad kaha ayegi unhe? Chalo koi nahi geet, tu hi phone karle.baat karega tuo karega varna sunaaege. Use zyaada kya hoga?"
After his dream and romance with an imaginary geet, maan meets daadi in the lawn. Both of them are sitting there and maan for the first time in his life was shocking daadi with all his nonstop talks about geet. Daadi is very happy to see that love has changed her grandson to an extent that was inconceivable.
Geet rings maan. Maan who has been busy with "geet and me" love story did not realize his phone was ringing. Daadima had to stop him and tell him about the call.
"lagta hai, geet ka asar kuch zyaada ho gaya maan.aapka phone bajh raha hai."
Maan stops and looks at his phone and sees geet calling. He looks up to see daadi's reaction immediately.
"alright maan, hum jaa rahe hai. See you for dinner, agar phone call khatam ho gaya tuo. Else don't bother…!!!!" and she walked away laughing.Daadima was back to her leg pulling session again.
He takes the call. "bolo" he says lovingly with immense concern.
"sir, aap aise baat mat kijiye mujhe kuch kuch hota hai" said geet wondering why he would speak so sweetly and yell the very next minute.
"kya?" maan asked. "geet…kya hota hai? Kuch kuch hota hai?" Maan laughed out loudly on the phone.
Geet felt embarrassed. "sir hasne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Woh actually muh se nikal gaya. Lunch ke baad woh movie dekh rahi thi."
"tuo aap movie dekh rahe the tuo mujhe kyun phone kiya?"
"sir who movie khatam ho gayi na, tuo main bore ho rahi thi." and geet covered her mouth for just saying that. He would yell at her now for calling him just because the movie got over. And she was not wrong.
"geet! Tumne isiliye phone kiya kyunki movie khatam ho gayi? Tuo tumhe kya laga main tumhare liye Ghana ghaunga? Ya phir tumhare liye dance karunga?"
"sir, aap bhi na. phone mein dance thodi na dikthi hai." And pinched her self for talking too much.
"tum abhi isi waqt phone rakho. Samajthi kya hai apne aap ko?main maan singh khurana hoon, tumhara entertainer nahi."
Geet laughed out on phone when she heard the last line. "sir aap itna gussa kyun karte hai?"
"tumhari wajah se, geet! Tum kuch na kuch ulta seedha bhol dete ho aur mujhe gussa aa jata hai."
"yeh le, maine kya kaha ab.chal chod dijiye. Kuch aur baat karte hai."
Maan did not respond.he knew there was no point. He was on phone with a girl who did not have a habit of listening or thinking before speaking so he had mastered the art of being quiet while particularly answering her calls.
"sir, waise aapne woh movie dekha?"
"geet!"
"haan sir, sorry. Aap tuo maan singh khurana hai. Aapko na entertain karta aata hai aur na hi entertainment lena aata hai. Main bhi pagal hoon. Aap files, folders aur clients ke alawa kya sochenge?"
Maan rolled his eyes and moved his phone from his right hand to the left.
"waise sir, aapne dinner kiya?"
"nahi. Its only 7pm."
"achha sir, ek baat bataeye. Aap weekends ghar pe kyun rehte hai?"
"tuo kya karu?pinky ke ghar aavu apne secretary se milne?"
"nahi nahi, mera matlab hai, aap tuo bore ho jaate honge na.ek kaam kijiye aap na Saturday aur Sundays ko bhi office jaeye.aur sab ko office bhula lijiye. Taaki aapka time paas ho jayega."
"geet, maine yeh tuo nahi kaha ki main bore ho raha hoon."
"haan sir"
"tuo phir tum mujhe "free" advise kyun de rahi ho?"
"haan sir! Sahi kaha aapne. Robots ko holidays nahi chahiye. Lekin jo aapke office main kaam karte hai who insaan hai. Hai na sir?"
"geet!" yells at her so loudly that geet had to move her phone away from her ears. "tum mujhse pooch rahe ho ya bata rahe ho?"
"sir aapko phir se gussa aa gaya. Koi nahi sir, chaliye kuch aur baat karte hai."
Maan felt like hugging her and kissing her for the innocent and bubbly girl she was. The way she talked was out of this world. How could he think of moving away from her? He was so foolish in thinking she would never be his.
"aachha sir, maa kya kar rahe hai?"
"geet, ab tum mujhe ek baat batao. Tum hamesha meri daadima ko "maa" karke kyun pukarte ho?"
"kyun sir unhe bura laga?"
"nahi"
"tuo phir aapko bura laga kya?"
"geet, maine tumse ek sawal kiya, tuo tumne mujhe teen sawal kiya.aur jawab nahi diya."
"sir, who actually aisi koi baat nahi hai. Bas unhe jab bhi dekhti hoon tuo "maa" nikal jaata hai. Jaise aapko mujhe dekh kar gussa aa jata hai."
She had again spoken too much.
"geet mann karta hai ki main tum.."and before he could complete geet spoke real fast.
"sir, main jaanti hoon. Aapko mera ghala dhabane ka mann kar raha hoga. Main bhi na, pata nahi kuch bhi bol deti hoon. Aur woh bhi sirf aapse. Pata nahi kya ho jata hai mujhe."
"pyaar" said maan very softly intentionally.
"ji, kuch kaha aapne?" asked geet wanting to re-confirm if he really said "pyaar"
"kyun geet, tumhe sirf bolne ki aadat hai? Sunne ne ki nahi hai? Aur waise bhi its 8 now. Mujhe jaana chahiye. Daadima mere liye wait kar rahe honge. Dinner karna hai."
"aap har roz maa ke saath dinner karte hai?"
"haan.kyun?tumhare saath karu?"
"haye.mera itna kismat kaha ki main maan singh khurana ke saath dinner karu?"
"accha?"
"sir, main tuo mazak kar rahi thi. please aap phirse gussa mat ho jaeye."
"tuo tum mere saath dinner nahi karna chahti."
"yeh babaji is insaan se baath karna bahut mushkil hai. Nahi sir! Mera matlab who nahi tha?"
"tuo kya tha?"
He suddenly realized he was getting late and going late for dinner means more teasing from daadima's end. Maan was not ready for that.
He quickly said, "geet baad mein explaination dena.yaad rakhna ki humne yeh conversation kaha choda taaki dinner ke baad complete kar sakhe."
"yeh insaan, phone call ko bhi ek project ki tarah treat karta hai. Hey babaji inka girlfriend ka kya hoga?"
"kya kaha?"
"kuch nahi sir! Kuch nahi. Aap jaeye. Lagta hai aapko bhook lagi hai. Isiliye tab se aag baboola ho rahe hai aap."
"geet"
"have a nice dinner sir! Bye!baad mein baath karte hai."
Before maan could even tell her a bye, she disconnected his call scared of him.
