OS: The Basketball Match PART 1 PG 1

Its not everyday where a girl has to give so much attention into learning a new thing within one day. With exams, tests, even interviews you normally have weeks months or sometimes atleast a few days to prepare yourself. Learning the right answers, knowing what to say in an interview even do a little research. But, this was not the case for Mrs Geet Singh Khurana. She had less than 24 hours to learn the A-Z of Basketball and she had brought this upon herself. Why? Why who the hell gave her this stupid idea of a basket ball match. Why did she agree thinking it would be easy like baking a cake. Too many rules and technicalities. Mr Dev Singh Khurana, Main tumhe jaan se mardongi. She thought in her head. It was his fault. He had told Geet that Maan loves basketball and was a basketball champ in College. The next step after learning how to play was to challenge her husband to a match between her and her husband. But before she even does that she had to learn the meaning of basketball first.

'Geet kaha hai dyan tumhara' asked Pinky who was also trying with Adi, Nandini, Dev, Romeo and Tasha trying to teach her the rules regulations and whatever else was needed to know about basketball.

'Main to sun rahi ho na. Simple si baat hai, hum do teams main hai. Ek ladke ka aur ek ladki ka. Ladki ke team ek basket main score karna parega aur ladko ko ek basket main. Ladko hum ladkiya se ball chene ki koshish karengi aur humhe aunse bach kar basket main ball dalna hai. Waise Dev Singh Khurana yeh sab tumhari galti hai.' Geet said turning to him in irritation.

'Mere galti kaise' asked Dev pondering.

'Aur nahi to kya. Maan ko basketball main challenge karo' Geet mimicked Dev.

'ha to sahi to kaha ta maine aur kya. Waise bi tum Bro ko kis main challenge karsakti ho jo bro ko pasand hai?' asked Dev.

Geet sat there silently for a moment and realised that Dev was right. Maan loves Basketball and she loves Maan.

The whole night Geet learnt the aims rules and all there is needed to know about basketball. If there was a test tomorrow even a written paper she sure would pass.

Dev had decided to take care of Naintara and follow her around so she does not hear of any plan or what was going to occur. He decided to stick by her all day. He urshered the others to leave quickly

Everything learnt now second stage make MAAN play. Romeo being so handy had written a script ready for what each person had to say. They decided the best time of action is in the morning in the conference hall where Geet had scheduled a fake meeting.

'ready' asked Romeo.

'Ready as hell' said Geet. All held hands and walked in a TASHAN fashion to the conference hall ready as they saw Maan sitting there going through some papers. All of them peeped from the doorframe one head above the other.

'ab kya' asked Pinky

'sab ko apne line yaad hai na' asked Adi

'kisi ko Maan ko bahar nahi jane dena samje' said Geet with determination.

'chupa ke rakna' said Tasha. Everyone prayed to babaji and kept the papers in there hand with the script.

'jo bole sonihal' said Geet

'sasriakal'

'Action' Romeo faked coughed out as everyone walked in.

They all held hands as they walked in and dispersed.

'aur ha Pinky tum zyda hasna mat samji' warned Geet as she stood next to her.

Maan looked up to see them arriving and looked at the time. He then looked in his file.

'Ha isliye mujhe Maan sir ko zyada izaat karti ho kyun ke Maan Sir ek Hero hai aur Tum Adi sir ek dum zero. Aapne Dekha nahi kaise Maan Sir ne Geet ko girne se bachaya ta' said Pinky. Maan put his file down in utter confusion wondering why and what was him breaking Geet's fast to do with Pinky and Adi.

'ha ha.. to kya hua. Hero to main hi hoo. Main Hero, Geet heroine Maan sir zero and tum zeroine' said Adi. He looked at Romeo script wondering what rubbish has he written.

'Excuse me, Adi sir aapne mujhe girne se nahi bachaya, aur zeroine main age se mujhe kuch mat bolna' said Pinky in anger. Romeo and Tasha and Geet smirked checking the script whlist Maan looked half confused and amused. He stood up. Everyone got scared when Geet gave them a signal to continue. Maan stared at Geet who quickly did a fake smile. Adi was about to reply when Pinky dropped her script. Everyone looked at eachother in a melo dramatic way as the script was near Maan feet. Geet quickly scrambled almost tripping over Maan's foot to grab the paper. Maan held her shoulders and stopped her from falling. He gave her a stare and picked up the papers and gave it to her as he headed towards the exit. Geet freaked out when Adi Pinky Romeo and Tasha all blocked Maan's exit.

'mujhe kya kya kya, Maan sir ne kata hai' Adi fumbled as he forget his lines. Maan looked at him and then said

'I think its kala kutta' Maan said looking at them confused. Adi quicky turned around whlist he checked his lines whlist Romeo tried to do some damage control

'Aur Aur' Romeo said forgetting the lines.

'Aur isme hai kya aakhir yeh ladka hi to hai' Adi gulped and wished the earth swallowed him there and then as he pointed and said those lines to Maan sir who gave him a deathly glare. Geet who was checking the script was praying to babaji to save Adi.

'ari tu paagal hogaya hai kya. Yeh ladka hai kya' Maan looked at him with a glare as Romeo put his arm around Maan. 'mera matlab hai yeh ladka nahi hai iske baal kya ladke wali hai iske aak ladke wale hai yeh to ladka hai nahi' Romeo said still with his arm around Maan's shoulder showing Adi how brave he is.

'Are yeh tum' Maan started angered by the fact that now his gender recognition was being discussed. Romeo stopped him in the middle

'are yeh to aadmi hai'

'aadmi hai' The others chorused behind Romeo giving hi fives.

'aap to bari hochuke ho, shave be karti ho to aap admi hai' Romeo said giving Maan a hug. Maan was fuming. He was first confused then amused and then now angry.

'Ladka ho ya aadmi, ladka ho ya aadmi' Tasha forgot her lines in the middle. Geet had to save it

'ha Ladka ho ya aadmi sab sab ek taraf hotey hai'

Everyone started shouting with the gender war beginning to be in place. Maan was about to leave as he had no interest and a meeting to go to.

'Ek minute meri line hai meri line' said Adi. He came infront of Maan and decided to show Romeo he was brave as well and put his arm around Maan's shoulder.But before he could speak Romeo spoke

'roki ho ya chini hindustani ho ya japani sab ek taraf hotey hai' Romeo said. Geet looked confused and ran to Romeo and whispered

'yeh kya line hai'

'mere line hai mast hai na' Romeo smiled. Geet rolled her eyes.

'yeh sab ladke apne aap ko hero samajte hai' Geet said checking her lines standing right next to Maan who tried to peep at the paper.

'Hum samajte nahi hai hum hero hi hai' Romeo said.

'ha ha' Tasha started all the other girls repeated the same 'ha ha'

'Tumhe Hero ki spelling ati bi hai' said tasha walking up to Romeo slightly pushing him.

'Mujhe ati hai. HERO' Said Adi. Maan now was baffled what was going on.

'yeh meri line hai tum kyun bol rahi ho' Romeo asked sulking

'Ha bol na' Adi said.

'HERO' Romeo said. Maan walked into the small combining room as the others took a breather to check there lines.

'Oi tum log cheaters ho cheaters sab apne apne lines banarahi ho. Mujhe nahi khelna' said Pinky walking out when the other 4 grabbed her

'Tu chod na yaar'

'calm down'

'please'

Pinky decided to take a deep breath this was all about her best friend.

They heard a bang and saw Maan put his file on the table with force. Adi knew it was his turn to act. They all walked back towards Maan.

'yeh ladkiya hoti aisi hai. Abhi tak game shuru hue hi nahi aur pehle hi haar manli' Adi spoke with confidence. Maan looked at him but Adi did not let his confidence waver.

'socholo' said Pinky

'Tum bolo kaunsa game khelna hai phir dekhte hai kaun jeeta hai aur kaun harta hai' Tasha said in Tashan style.

'Pakka ?' Asked Romeo

'Pakka' 'replied tasha. Hearing no response she said it again 'PAKKA'

'Tumhari line hai'

'nahi tumhari hai main kabhie line nahi bulti' said Pinky.

'HAAA socholo kheloge to haroge hai na sir' asked Adi looking at him. Maan gave him such a stare that his confidence almost waivered. This was now becoming a circus show for him. What the hell was going on

'Socholiya.. urm urm' Pinky said walking towards the guys. The table looked like this Geet, Pinky and Tasha on one side and Romeo Maan and Adi on the other side.

'Tum log game bolo' Geet said pointing at Adi, Maan and Romeo

'ha ha game to bolo' said Pinky

'ha game bolo' said Tasha

All of them put there fingers under there chins like they were thinking and all did 'urrrmmm' whlist Maan looked at them amused and confused like he was from the beginning.

'BASKETBALL' Romeo shouted out. Maan smirked.

'WOW' The girls laughed. 'Basketball'

'Ek minute ek minute' asked Maan now wanting some answers for this comedy circus which definitely was not rehearsed well.

'yeh ladhai kis baat ki hai' asked Maan. Geet and the others looked at eachother.

Geet to Tasha ' yeh ladhai kis baat ki hai'

Tasha asked Pinky who in turn asked Adi who turned to ask Romeo as he wrote this script of this naatak to make Maan play.

'Ladhai se kya matlab. Aap aadmi hai ka nahi' asked Romeo. Maan narrorwed his eyes at romeo with his gender being point of discussion again.

'Aadmi to par iska is ladhai se kya connection hai' said Maan

'connection hai' said Romeo 'agar aap aadmi hai to aap hamari saath hai kya kehta hai'

'Maan kuch nahi kahega wo challenge vallanege kuch nahi karega' Geet said looking straight in Maan's eyes and crossing her arms.

'Main challenge nahi karta' asked Maan looking at her. Geet shrugged her shoulders and narrowed her eyes. 'yeh tum kehrahi ho'

'ha main kehrahi to' asked Geet moving closer to Maan like she was challenging him.

'fine I'm in.' he said. Everyone cheered as there plan was successful with a gissa pitta dialogue and naatak.

'Tumhe harne ka shauk hai mujhe harane ka. Kahi bi kabhi bi. I'll see you on the basketball court' Maan said looking straight at Geet. Who store back at him with equal challenge in her eyes.

'waah kya mast line ti' said Adi.

'socholo ek baar phir, agar tum log girls ke khilaaf khelogi to tum log cheating karogi' said Geet

'hum aur cheating yeh to tum kamzoor ladkiya hi kar sakti ho' said Maan.

'Tik hai the match is one right' said Adi. Maan agreed and shook his head in positive. Everyone checked the next line of the script.

'Lekin jeetne wali ko kya milaga' asked Romeo. Tasha Pinky and Geet looked at the script and all shouted out at once

'Main kiss nahi karongi'

'damn' Romeo said. And him and Adi smirked as the girls glared at them.

'NO KISS NO KISS OK'

'ive got an idea. Harne wale ka captain jeetne wale captain ka ek haftey tak ghulami karega' said Romeo and he winked at Tasha who understood his plan.

'Socholo ek haftey bohot hota hai ghulaami ke liye' Pinky said.

'Exactly ek haftey main tum log tak jaougi hamari ghulami karke' Maan smirked.

'waise tumhar captain hai kaun' asked Maan.

'urrm hamari captain' Tasha asked nervously flicking her hair.

'Geet aur kaun' Pinky said

'yeh to nahi lika ta' Geet said remembering the script.

'kaha par' asked Maan confused.

'Takdeer' said Pinky

'Kismat main nahi' Tasha said and she quicky said something in Geet's ears. Geet agreed. Maan tried to get the paper in Adi hand and asked

'yeh kya hai'

Adi pulled it out of his reach and said 'yeh urm meri dadaji ka case file'

'Waise tumhari captain kaun hai' asked Pinky

'obviously Maan sir' Romeo said Maan looked at them.

'socholo' said Tasha

'SOCHOLIYA' screamed Romeo.

Maan left saying he will meet them at the basketball court behind the mansion in two hours.

'YAAAY' all screamed managed to get Maan to agree to play.

'Listen guys, yeh naatak girls vs boys humhe match taq rakna hoga' said Geet everyone hi fived.

'No over acting' Geet warned.
