My Hero ❤️ Part 1-10 Pg 1&2

Part 1

It was the zillionth time when Geet has seen him on the screen, but every time she see him, she feels like she has fallen in love with him all over again!!

"Haaye Babaji!! Sirf ek baar mujhe inse mila do, please babaji! Just one time!! Aap ke liye kya mushkil hai??!! Main gurudware mein pure 1001 rupaye ka prasad chadhaoongi!! Please babaji!!!!!" she folds her hands looking up in the roof expectantly'

"Geet puttar! Chal puttar tere college ka time ho gaya bachche!"

"Bas aayi daarji" she runs to go outside but stops at the door and looks back at the tv and blows a flying kiss towards her dream man' Maan Singh Khurana.

Maan Singh Khurana is the biggest movie star in todays date. Geet was 16 when he debuted in movies 3 years ago. And the moment Geet set her eyes on him, she has fallen in love with him. And her craziness has just increased with every passing day.

Like every other girl, he was her dream guy'.

She was crazily in love with him. Her every morning started with his thoughts and she retires at night with just him on her mind. He didn't even leave her alone in her dreams'.

She knew everything about him, his likes his dislikes, his favorites, his passions' she had a huge collection of his pictures and interviews. There was no newspaper or magazine in the world that she hasn't got in which there was some news about him.

Sometimes Geet herself was surprised at her condition. It was not normal to go crazy for some movie star to this extent. None of her friends were so crazily in love even with their boyfriends let alone some movie stars.

Geet never had any boyfriends. It wasn't that she wasn't pretty or she never went out with anyone! But she always compared every guy that she met with Maan Singh Khurana.

But there was only one Maan Singh Khurana in the world and Geet was already in love with him. Nobody was able to meet his standard, so Geet was never able to go close to any boys'

She wondered sometimes that how come some total stranger has conquered her life so completely that she cant think of anybody else.

Stranger who doesn't even know that she exists' Stranger who doesn't even know that there's some stupid girl in this world somewhere who can even die for him.

And probably stranger who would never know her'

Because she lives in Hoshiarpur and he lives in Mumbai. She knew that her grandfather would never be able to afford her trip to Mumbai. Their financial condition was not too good. Her parents had died when she was 11 and her grandfather, whom she calls daarji, had raised her with his little pension. She used to write notes for other students for some money for her personal expenses.

She never dreamed of Maan to love her or marry her!!! No, she knew where she stands!!!!

All she wanted him to know that she existed, to see him face to face once in her lifetime, for him to call her name once!! Was that too much to ask for???!!!!

She went to college a little sad because she had to miss his movie on tv (ofcourse she had dvds of all his movies and she has watched them million of times, but she still cant get enough of him)

When she reached college her friends told her that their college is going on a trip to Mumbai 2 weeks later.

Geet's eyes lit up at the name of Mumbai. She felt that this was her chance to finally fulfill her dreams (in fact her only dream). She had a feeling that she gotta go there'

But Geet didn't have enough money to pay for the trip.

So she decided to write as many notes as she can in this week and collect enough money.

She knew she had to work very hard to get all the notes written on time. She skipped all her lectures in order to write notes, she stayed awake for whole nights for it too.

She continuously worked day and night. Whenever she felt very tired, she thinks about Maan, and she gets strange energy from that, and she started working again.

After hard work of whole week, she was able to collect enough money for the trip.

When Geet counted the money at the end of the week, her happiness knew no bounds. She has never worked so hard in her whole life, and it was all for Maan'

She jumped in joy and said "Yes!! I'm coming Maan! I'm coming just for you!!!"

SOMEWHERE IN MUMBAI

There were 1000s of people sitting in the auditorium but there was pin drop silence.

The host on the stage said "And the award for the best actor goes to.."

And he paused making people eat their nails in curiosity and then he said

"Once again Maan Singh Khurana" and the whole auditorium broke into applause'

Maan gets up from his seat and hugs his Dadima before going on the stage proudly.

After receiving the award he gives his thankyou speech'.

After the award function, as soon as Maan walks out the auditorium, all the press reporters showers all kinds of questions on Maan.

Maan said calmly to everybody "Relax guys! One at a time!! I'm really happy that this is my third award in a row. I have been very lucky that my fans love me so much and like my work. This is all because of you guys!" he offers the award towards the camera.

Then a reporter asks "Is it true that you and Diya are going out?"

Maan smiles a little and said "Sorry to disappoint you guys, but no, Diya is just a good friend of mine."

Then some reporter asks "Mr. Maan, you are the most eligible bachelor in today's date. Every girl is going crazy after you. Every parent wants mr. Right like you for their daughters. So who would be your miss Right?"

"I haven't met her till today. But whenever I'll do, I'll surely introduce you guys to her."

-"So would she be from the film industry or any ordinary girl has a chance too?"

Maan says with a slight irritation in his voice "I don't know guys! How can I tell you with whom I'll fall in love with??!! But definitely, I wouldn't care where she comes from. She can be a totally ordinary girl next door too. As they say 'when heart talks, everything else listens'. So I'll definitely go with my heart."

-"So how important is love in your life?"

"A lot." He said with a fake smile and then he started to move while his security guards making way for him.

As soon as he sits in his limo, he takes off the coat frustratingly.

His friend Yash who is sitting beside him asks "Whats wrong Maan? Why are you looking so angry?"

"As if you don't know anything!!" Maan said angrily.

Yash said knowingly "Media?"

Maan looks away angrily but didn't say anything.

"Maan don't worry, all the rumours about you and diya will soon die." Yash tries to pacify him.

"I'm not concerned about that!" he said with irritation in his voice

"So?" now yash was confused.

"Why do they think that just because I do romantic movies, that I've come out of some fairytale who lives his life just for love!!" he said the word love disgustingly.

Yash had no answer to that. He knew how much Maan hated to talk about 'love'.

Maan looked outside of the window and said to himself determinedly "Love doesn't exist in this world!!"

Geet in her bed in HP said to herself before going to sleep "Love is so beautiful! I love you Maan!!"

Part 2

TOUR DAY

Geet reached Mumbai with her classmates and was on the ninth cloud. It was her dream come true. She has been dreaming of this day since years.

Geet's friend pinky's cousin lived in Mumbai and his friend works in film industry. So pinky has arranged Geet's meeting with Maan the very next day.

Geet was very excited and nervous. The very thought of actually seeing THE Maan Singh Khurana was enough to keep her awake all night.

Next morning, Geet gets up early morning and dressed up with special care. She wore a white churidaar suit, one of her favorites as she knew white was Maan's favorite colour.

At last, she is ready to go. Pinky and Geet were both about to go, when pinky's cousin called them and told that Maan has changed his plans and he has gone out of country for 2 days, so he has cancelled their meeting.

Geet was very disappointed. All her dreams shattered in the blink of an eye.

Geet was so upset that she just walks out without telling anyone where she was going. She kept walking on and on without any sense of direction. She was so sad that all her hopes have come to nothing. She was so close to him but yet so far. She was in his city but its her bad luck that she cant even see his face.

At last she reached the beach (Geet didn't know the name of the beach). She sat on the shore and looked into the ocean. The sound of the waves was very relaxing and peaceful. Geet felt a strange kind of satisfaction by looking at the water.

She sat there for hours looking at the beautiful water.

At last she got up, as it has started getting dark.

When Geet gets back on the road, she realized that she has forgotten which way she has come from. The realization of getting lost scared her to the hell.

She started walking towards her left while trying to remember her way. But she has been so sad before that she has forgotten to look around for any sign on the road.

She tried remembering the name of their hotel, but to her utmost horror, she doesn't remember that either due to fear.

She was terrified. She started running in desperation of finding some clue of her hotel.

Now it was very dark, and she has no clue what to do. She was hungry and tired and scared. But she didn't stopped running.

Geet did not realize in her fear that she has come to some secluded area. She saw a group of 4 guys standing in the corner of the road joking and laughing among themselves. It did not take much time for Geet to realize that they were drunk and she was all alone with them in this secluded street.

Her survival instincts told her to run away from them. She retreated her steps and started running back. She did not stopped to look if the drunk guys have seen her or not or if they are coming after her or not. She just kept running.

Atlast she saw street lights and she thought that it's the main road. When she reached the road, she realized she was not wrong.

As she reached the road, she sighed in relief. The adrenaline rush that has occupied her before left her as she thought herself to be safe now. Now her eyes started getting closed and she started feeling dizzy due to hunger and tiredness.

Geet did not realize that she has stepped on the road and suddenly a car's headlights flashed making Geet blinded in immense light.

Geet closed her eyes in fear thinking that the car is gonna hit her.

The car came to an abrupt stop. In the shock, Geet felt her body getting loosened up and she fell on the ground unconscious few inches away from the car.

x-x-x-x-x-x

The sunrays broke Geet's sleep.

Geet slowly opened her eyes and found herself on a huge comfy bed. She looks around the unfamiliar room and instantly sits up.

It was a huge room, bigger than even her whole house. The interior dcor gave a hint of royalty in it. It was very well furnished. Every minute detail of the room was indicating towards the richness and class of the owner.

Geet's mouth fell open in awe at the sight of the beautiful room.

THE ROOM

Suddenly the door opened and it broke Geet's trance and an old lady entered and Geet realized that she knows this lady. Not personally, but still and her mouth fell open making a perfect O.

The lady came closer to Geet's bed and says curiously "How are you feeling now beta?"

Geet was in shock. She couldn't believe that she was in HIS house. Maan Singh Khurana's house. Her Dream Man. Her Idol. And the lady sitting in front of her and talking to her is Maan's Dadima.

Dadima repeated again "Beta!"

Geet comes out of trance "Huh?!"

Dadima: are you ok?

Geet controlled herself and says "I'm fine Dadima," and she corrects herself quickly as she realized what she has called Maan's Dadima "I mean Ma'am. How did I come here?" Geet was trying to remember the last night.

Dadima: aap kal raat Maan ki car ke aage behosh ho gayi thi [you fainted in front of Maan's car last night]

The name sent millions of feelings through Geet and before she could realize, a small smile came on her lips.

"Maan?!" that was all she managed to say.

"Haan. Maan hamare pote hain! Wohi aapko yahaan lekar aaye hain!!" Dadima told her [Maan is my grandson. He is the one who brought you here last night]

The realization that Maan has been so close to her last night after she has fainted sent chill to her body. She still couldn't believe how she got so lucky to land up in Maan's house.

Dadima asks her caringly "Why did you fainted beta? What were you doing in the middle of the road so late at night?"

"Woh Dadima... mera matlab hai ma'am" Geet was surprised at herself that why she is calling her Dadima again and again.

Dadima smiles and says "Its ok beta, you can call me Dadima."

Geet smiles and thinks 'kitni achchi hain na yeh!' and says "thankyou Dadima."

Dadima: Waise apna naam kya bataya aapne?

"Geet."

"It's a very lovely name!"

"thank you Dadima. Actually mera naam na, meri mom ne rakha tha. Unhe na, hindi filmein bohat pasand thi! Wo jo film thi na rajendra kumar aur mala sinha ki Geet, wo to meri mom ki favorite thi. Isliye unhone mera naam bhi Geet rakh diya," she said all in one breath in her usual bubbly style. Geet saw Dadima smiling at her and she stops and asks doubtfully "why are you smiling Dadima?"[my mom kept my name. she loved hindi movies a lot. And that movie of rajendra kumar and mala sinha's Geet was my mom's favorite. So she kept my name on the movie]

"Nothing beta. Aap bohat pyari baatein karti hain." Dadima said with a smile [you talk very sweet]

"Hai na Dadima!? You know wo pinky hai na?"

"Pinky?" Dadima asks.

"Yeah pinky, my best friend. She says that I talk a lot. She always keep on complaining that once I start talking, I couldn't stop!! Aap hi batayiye Dadima, kya main bohat zyada bolti hoon? Nahin na?" she asks innocently. [u tell me, do I talk a lot?]

Dadima nods a no while trying to hide her smile.

"Dekha!! Aap hi bataayiye, hum pichhle 10 minutes se baatein kar rahein hain, magar kya maine aapko haan ya naa ke ilawa ek bhi aur shabd bola?" [u tell me, we are talking from last 10 mins, but did I said another word except from yes and no?]

Dadima again nods a 'no'

"To fir? Dadima, aap na ek baar meri friends se miliyega zaroor. Aur khaas kar pinky se, aur unhein batayiyega ke main kitna kam bolti hoon. Sara din wo mera sar kha jaati hain, ke main kam bola karoon."

Dadima has realized by now that Geet is not gonna stop her bak-bak until she is asked to.

So Dadima asked her while cutting her in between "Waise aapne bataya nahin, ke aap behosh kaise ho gayi thi?" [u didn't tell me why did u fainted?]

Geet narrated the whole story from the beginning till the end which she finished in almost 45 minutes, as she started her bak-bak in between many times. Many times she went astray from her story and started telling something else.

Dadima has to ask her again and again to keep her on her story but Dadima was liking her more and more with every minute. She was liking her bak-bak. She was liking how Geet was full of life.

Dadima had always craved to talk to someone. Sometimes Dadima felt chocked to be left alone in this big mansion and has no one to talk to. No doubt there were always couple of dozen servants too, to do all kinds of chores, but they were very scared of Maan to leave their work and chit-chat with Dadima. So the only option with Dadima to talk to someone was Maan as Maan was her only family. And he also stayed out of house for most of the time because of his work. Even when he is at home, he doesn't talked much. He believes in working rather than talking. The only hope of Dadima was her would-be grand-daughter-in-law. She has hoped that once Maan gets married, his wife will stay with her and talks to her. But even that hope was dying with Maan's decision of never getting married.

Dadima comes back to present out of her thoughts and saw Geet who was still blabbering about something.

Suddenly the door opens and a servant comes in and tells Dadima that breakfast is ready.

Geet tells Dadima that she will be there in a minute and Dadima leaves.

Geet was again gonna loose in her thoughts when the door again opens and this time Maan enters.

Geet became mum as her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't believe that she was actually looking at him.

He was much more handsome in real than he looks on the screen. He was also more taller in real.

Geet's heartbeats fastened at the abnormal pace. Her hands absentmindedly reaches her hair to smoothen her tresses.

Geet wanted to say something to him... anything, but she couldn't find her tongue to utter even a simple 'Hi'.

She was totally blank. All those speeches that she has practiced in washroom and in front of the mirror for so many years, have just evaporated from her mind without serving their sole purpose. She was just looking at him dumbly. She even forget to get up from the bed and did not realize that she hasn't had the dupatta on either. She did not even realize that he was glaring at her angrily.

Maan came closer to the bed and realized that she is not wearing dupatta. He looks away and says "Apna dupatta pehnogi?!"

But Geet didn't listen anything and just kept on looking at him in a trance.

Maan looks back at her and saw her still without dupatta. He looks at her frustratingly and shakes her shoulder. Geet comes out of trance.

Maan again looks away but this time picks up her dupatta from the foot of the bed and throws at her without looking at her.

Geet realizes and quickly covers herself a bit embarrassed.

Maan looks back at her and says angrily "To aakhir kitne paison ke liye tumne ye sab kiya?" [for how much money did you do this?]

Geet couldn't understand what he was talking about and says confusedly "Ji?"

"Don't act smart with me! Now tell me, kiske kehne par tum meri car ke aage behosh huyi thi? Huh?"

"Aap mujhe galat samajh rahe hain..." she tried to reason.[u r misunderstanding me..]

"Main galat samajh raha hoon? Tum meri car ke aage behosh ho jati ho! Aur tumhari wajah se meri flight miss ho gayi!! Do you even know how important it was for me to catch that flight?" he didn't realize that he was screaming at her. [you fainted in front of my car. It was because of you I missed my flight]

Geet felt tears coming into her eyes. She didn't know why she couldn't say anything in front of him.

Maan looked at the tears in her eyes but shakes it off and looks away. He continues "Main tum jaisi ladkiyon ko achchi tarah se janta hoon! Chand paison ke liye kuch bhi karne ke liye tayaar ho jaati ho!!" he finished disgustingly [I very well know girls like you who can do anything for some money]

Geet could no longer stand this. She gets up and ran outside crying.

Dadima saw her running out while crying and goes inside in the room.

Dadima says to Maan "Maan, aapne Geet se kuch kaha?"[did u say something to Geet]

Maan looks away but didn't say anything.

Dadima repeats "Maan, I asked you something! What did you say to her?"

Maan tries to control himself and says "I didn't say anything to her!"

"Then why was she crying?" Dadima was not satisfied with Maan's answer.

"I don't know and I don't care!!" and he leaves before Dadima can ask him any more questions.

Dadima calls the watchman and asks him to stop Geet.

The watchman stops Geet and meanwhile Dadima also reaches at the gates.

Dadima asks Geet "Geet beta, whats the matter? Why are you crying?"

Geet hugs Dadima and tells her everything in between her sobs.

Dadima: Geet, aap andar chaliye.

"Nahin Dadima! I don't want to go inside. Wo phir se mujh par chilayenge!"she said innocently [he will again shout at me]

Dadima: "Geet, nobody will say anything to you, I promise you. And where will you go? You don't even remember your hotel's name! and you don't have money either. Now listen to me! Aap andar chaliye, aur hum aapki friends ko phone kar denge, aur wo aapko yahaan se le jaayenge. Aur rahi baat Maan ki, then don't worry about him. I promise you he wont say anything to you!"

"Par Dadima..." she again tries to refuse but Dadima cuts her in between and says "Geet, you call me Dadima right? Then no ifs and buts!! Come inside! This is my order!!!" Dadima says with fake stern voice.

"Ji Dadima!!"

And Geet goes inside with Dadima.

part 3

Geet still was a bit scared of Maan. She has never ever thought even in her wildest dreams that Maan would ever say such words to her. He has broke the image of her idol in front of her eyes.

But she controls herself thinking that people sometimes say stuff that they don't really mean. Maybe Maan was angry for missing his flight and that's why he said all that to her. He doesn't hate her, he was just angry. How can he hate her, when he doesn't even know her! And Geet realised that she was defending Maan in her mind. She shakes off the thought while smiling as she realised that she has already forgiven him.

Dadima asks geet to sit in the living room and excused herself.

Dadima goes to Maan's room.

Maan was reading a book when Dadima enters.

He looked at her but didn't say anything and gets back into his book.

"Maan, ye kya tareeka hai kisi se baat karne ka?" [what way is this to talk to someone?]

Maan faked ignorance while pretending to read the book and said "I don't know what you are talking about Dadima!"

"Don't pretend Maan. You very well know what I'm talking about! Aapko geet se aise badtmeezi se baat nahin karni chahiye thi. Wo jaan boojh kar aapki car ke aage nahi aayi thi!!" Dadima tries to reason with him.

"Usne kaha aur aapne maan liya Dadima! Wo ladki aapse jhooth bol rahi hai. Mujhe poora yakeen hai ke usne ye sab paison ke liye kiya hai!!" he was still very mad. [she said and u believed her. That girl is lying to u. I'm pretty sure that she did all this for money]

"Maan, aap achhi tarah se jaante hain ke ye aap nahin, aap ki nafrat bol rahi hai!" [u very well know that its ur hatred talking not u]

"Dadima!!" Maan says angrily.

"Maan, aap kab tak apne aap se jhooth bolte rahenge? Ye aap bhi jaante hain, aur hum bhi, ke aap kiyun Geet ko bina jaane, unse itni nafrat karte hain." [how long will u keep on lying to urself. We both know that why u hate geet so much without even knowing her]

Maan didn't want to listen anymore. He tries to silence Dadima "Dadima, mujhe kuch nahin sun-na. Aap please yahaan se chale jaayiye."

"Nahin Maan. Aapko ye samajhna hoga, ke Geet Sameera nahin hai."

Maan closes his eyes at the name of Sameera.

"Hum jaante hain Maan, ke Geet ki shakal Sameera se milti hai, isliye aapko geet ki shakal se bhi nafrat hai. Par Maan, aap Sameera ke gunahon ki saza Geet ko sirf is liye to nahin de sakte na, kiyunki uski shakal Sameera se milti hai. Maan Sameera mar chuki hain. Kya aap ab bhi unhein maaf nahin kar sakte? Aapne Geet ke saath bohat bura saluki kiya hai, aur hamein lagta hai ke aapko unse maafi mangni chahiye."

Maan: Ji Dadima.

Maan knew whatever Dadima was saying was right. Whatever he did was wrong. He shouldn't have talked to her like that. But what could he do! The moment he saw her face yesterday, he couldn't believe his eyes. Geet's face resembles with Sameera to the frightening extent except for her hair. Sameera's hair was curly while this girl's hair is straight. But that could be attained easily...

When Maan saw Geet yesterday, he thought she is Sameera. But his mind was refusing the fact as he himself has seen Sameera's dead body. But how was that possible that this girl resembles with her so much??

It was due to this reason, that he has brought her home. He just couldn't make himself leave her on the road. He did not want to take her to the hospital because of the media. So he has brought her home.

When in the morning he saw her talking to Dadima, he realised that she was not exactly like Sameera. Her eyes were different from Sameera's. Geet has big hazel brown eyes while Sameera had small black eyes. The only difference between the two that was making them apart.

So the next thought that came to his mind was that somebody has come to know about his past and that's why someone has planted this girl on him. He couldn't understand how can someone know about Sameera. Sameera was long before dead before he even came to the glamour world. Here, nobody knows about his dark past. So what was the explanation of this girl being in his house??

So all his anger and hatred that he had hidden inside him for so many years, came out on Geet because of her face. When he was hurting her with his words, he knew he was doing wrong, but his anger clouded his rational thinking and he even shaked off the question of her tearful innocent eyes.

But after she has gone, and his anger cooled down, he felt very bad. So he has already decided that he would apologise to her for his words.

When he went out, he saw her sitting with Dadima in the living room while continuously chatting with her.

A slight smile came on Maan's lips as he saw her doing her bak-bak and thought that she might LOVE to talk.

He comes downstairs and Geet saw him coming.

She instantly gets scared and shuts up and stands up. She was scared that he will again shout at her.

Maan says politely without looking at her face "Hi, I'm really sorry about the morning. I shouldn't have talked to you like that." He waited for her to reply but Geet again couldn't find her tongue. She just cant believe that he was talking so sweetly with her.

When he saw that she isn't replying, he again said "So will you be able to forgive me?"

Geet still couldn't find her tongue, so she just nods.

Maan was somewhat used to this kind of behaviour from girls, so he just continued "So lets try it all over again. Hi, my name is Maan. Maan Singh Khurana." He said while offering his hand out.

Geet puts her hand on his hand and she thought she's gonna faint with his touch. She cant believe that she is actually touching him.

"Uh... Geet." She managed to say somehow.

"Pleased to meet you Geet." He said politely and smiled at the irony of his words. Was he really pleased to meet her?!

On the other hand, millions emotions passed through geet as he said her name. This was the only wish she had for years. For him to call her name. Her happiness knows no bounds at the moment.

"Um...Geet, I am going to my friend's party tonight. Would you like to come with me?" Maan was still feeling bad for being so rude to her, and didn't want to leave that impression on her. So he thought of taking her to the party with him, and in that case he would be able to apologise nicely to her.

Geet was on cloud 9 with his words. She cant believe that he was asking her to the party with him. Could this day be anymore perfect??!!

She just nods vigorously like a child.

And Maan leaves smiling to himself at her behaviour. There was no doubt that she liked him!!

Part 4

Geet sat on the sofa with a thud while still in trance.

Dadima was smiling at her reactions.

Dadima: Dekha Geet, Maan itne bhi bure nahi hain.

Geet says while still a little bit lost "Ji dadima."

Dadima asks Geet to stay for a day at their home, so that Geet and Maan can go to the party together from home, and Geet agrees.

But then Geet remembers something suddenly and says "Par dadima, I don't have any dress for the party... I should call pinky and go back to my hotel!" she was too excited about tonight that she couldn't sit silently anymore.

Dadima doesn't want Geet to go so soon. She was loving her every second "Geet beta, I don't think it's a very good idea to go back to your hotel! Why don't you get ready over here? In that way it would be easier for Maan to take you with him!!" she said hopefully.

"Wo sab to theek hai dadima, but I don't have any dress!" Geet told dadima her problem.

Dadima smiles and says "Usmein kya badi baat hai! Hum abhi ja kar shopping kar aate hain!! Aap breakfast kar lijiye, fir hum shopping ke liye nikalte hain"

Geet remembers that she doesn't have money with her and says "Nahi nahi dadima, it's ok.. I think it's better if I go to my hotel!"

Dadima realises why Geet is refusing and says "Geet, aap hamein dadima kehti hain na? Agar hamari jaga aapki asli dadima hoti, to kya aap tab bhi unhein aise hi inkaar karti?"

Geet felt bad "Nahin nahin dadima, aisa kuch bhi nahin hai, par--"

Dadima didn't let her finish and said "Par var kuch nahin! Aap hamare saath shopping ke liye chal rahi hain and that's final!"

Geet didn't know how to refuse her, so she said the truth "But dadima I don't have money!!"

Dadima smiles sweetly and says "Geet, did I talked to you about money? Geet, agar aapki jaga hamari apni poti hoti, to kya hum unke liye dress nahin kharidte??" she fakes anger and says "You've really hurted me geet!! Iska matlab aap sirf kehne ke liye hi hamein dadima keh rahi hain!! Hai na?"

Geet felt very bad. It wasn't her slighteset intention of hurting dadima. She sighs and says "I'm sorry dadima! Mera vo matlab nahin tha!!" and she smiles and says enthusiastically "ok dadima, chaliye main jaldi se tayaar ho jati hoon, fir hum dono shopping pe chalenge!!"

Dadima smiles and kisses her forehead and asks her to eat something first.

Geet eats her breakfast and takes a shower quickly and goes on shopping with dadima..

IN SHOPPING

Geet tried many dresses but didn't like any. Geet picks up just the white colour dresses but still discard them as dadima has brought Geet into the western section.

Dadima smiles at Geet's choice of colors and says "Geet beta, I think white is your favorite colour!?"

"Nahin nahin dadima, actually my favorite colour is red, wo to main white is liye le rahi hoon kiyunki--" and she stops as she realises that she's talking to Maan's dadima..

"Kiyunki?" dadima encourages.

Geet controls herself and says "Kiyunki I like white colour too."

Dadima smiles knowingly.

"Ek baat batayiye beta, aap maan ko bohat pasand karti hain na?"

"Umm... Wo... Ummm..." Geet didn't know should she tell dadima how much she likes maan or not.. And then she decides that it's no big deal to tell dadima as he is a superstar and every girl likes him.

"Ji dadima.." she said at last. And then starts her bak-bak "Pata hai dadima, jab maine unki pehli movie dekhi thi na, to main to dekhti hi reh gayi... Uske baad, aisi koi movie, aisi koi interview nahin thi, jo maine naa dekhi ho! Pata hai, mere pass ye moti album hai, unke pictures ki, har interview ki cuttings ki!!! Mera na, bas ek hi dream tha, ke main ek baar, sirf ek baar Maan se milu!!! Aur dekhiye, babaji ne meri sun li!!!" and she looks up and says "Thank you Babaji!!" while dadima enjoys her sweet talks...

Geet says to dadima "Waise dadima, ek baat kahu, aap bura to nahin maanegi na?"

Dm nods a no

"Waise maine kabhi nahi socha tha, ke Maan itne gusse wale honge.. Dusht-Danav types!!! Interviews mein to kitne sweetly baat karte hain..." she goes into her lala land dreaming about Maan.

Dadima says while lost deeply in thought "Wo hamesha se aise nahi the!!!"

Dadima's thoughts breaks with Geet's words "Hamesha se nahi the? To fir ab kiyu hain??"

Dadima changes the topic and says "Chhodiye na Geet! Aap batayiye, kya aapko koi dress pasand aayi??"

Geet says a bit guiltily "Dadima, actually I don't wear western clothes!! Can we get something Indian?" she asks hopefully.

Dadima smiles and nods a yes

And they go to the Indian dresses section.

Geet picks up different white suits or saris but didn't liked any. At last, she finds a beautiful white sari.

Dadima tries to tell her that sari might not be appropriate for the party as she had a vague idea that the party's in some disco, but when she looks that baby excitement on Geet's face, she couldn't make herself ruin Geet's happiness.

When Geet comes back, dadima helps her to get dressed up.. Geet took extra care with every minute detail in getting dressed up.

At last, it was 8 pm n geet knew that Maan would be waiting for her. She did some last minute touch-ups and went outside.

Maan was waiting for Geet downstairs frustratingly. It was very unusual for Maan Singh Khurana to wait for someone. People wait for him, but he never waits for anybody.

He was so close to give up and leave without Geet, when he saw Geet coming downstairs, and his heart skipped a beat.

She was looking heavenly beautiful in a white sari. Her hair was left open on her one shoulder and she was wearing a slight sweet smile on her lips.

Her face was already stirring deep hidden emotions in him, emotions that he has buried deep inside him... emotions that he thought he wasn't capable of anymore... But it wasnt just her face, for obvious reasons, that was pulling him towards her. It was more than that! It was her eyes!! Her eyes were intriguing him. He was drowning in those deep hazel brown eyes and he wasn't even minding it!!!

Maan's feet started walking towards her on it's own accord. His heart rate increasing with each step. His sight moved from her eyes to her pink lip-glossed luscious lips. And he felt a sudden urge to take her in his arms and kiss her breathless.

And then he realises what he is thinking and comes into reality. He curses himself mentally for having such forbidden thoughts for Geet. He chided him mentally 'she is not Sameera!!!'

And then he realises what is she wearing. He looks at her angrily and says "Geet, what is this?"

Geet looks around innocently not knowing what he is referring to and says "Kahan??"

He looks at her in frustration and says "We are going to a disco for a party, not on somebody's wedding Ok!! Why are you dressed up in a sari??!!"

Geet lost her voice in front of his angry glare. She has done so much hard work to get ready and all has gone down the drain with his words.

She looks down while tears started stinging her eyes.

She makes a baby face but didn't say anything.

Maan looked at her adorable expression and his anger flew in the blue, and in the place of angry glare, a smile decorated his face without his permission, but his trance broke with a tear shining on her cheek.

He felt a piercing pain in his heart but he easily covered it up mentally as just a guilt of making her cry again.

His hand moved towards her to wipe her tears but he controlled himself on time before Geet could notice it.

He chided himself mentally realizing that he is loosing control over himself for the second time in the last few minutes. That is unacceptable!!! Maan Singh Khurana never looses!! Not even control!!!

He looked at her and now more tears had made way out of her eyes.

He felt bad realizing that it's not completely her fault as he never told her where they are going.

He took out his hanky and offers it to her but she doesn't take it and stood there while pouting adorably.

He says calmly "Um... Geet... Uh... Look don't cry now!"

He takes a deep breath and says "Ummm... We'll buy some dress for you on our way ok?!"

He started to move out but Geet didn't take a step towards the door. She stood rooted on the spot.

After few steps, Maan realised that Geet is not coming after him and he looks back.

Geet says making a baby angry face "Mujhe nahi jaana kahin pe bhi!! Aap jaayiye apni party pe!!" and she wipes her tears cutely like a kid.

Maan closes his eyes in frustration. He didn't know why but for the first time in his life he wanted to apologise to her for making her cry but his ego stopped him. So he took the other way...

He said playfully "Soch lo Geet!" and he says dramatically "Its a golden chance to spend an evening with the great superstar Maan Singh Khurana!!" he peeked towards her and adds while a little smile plays at the corner of his lips "Ladkiyan marti hain is din ke liye!!"

Geet looks at him unbelievably. She has never ever imagined Maan to talk like that even in her wildest dreams...

She stopped crying with momentary shock which was after all his ultimate motive.

She smiled at him and was reciprocated with a smile.

He said sweetly "Chalein?"

Geet nods and starts walking after him, but soon she was left behind as her little legs could not cope up with his big strides.

He has already reached his car when Geet has just walked out.

She tried to minimize the distance but her legs gave up on her and at last she starts walking instead of running to cope up with him. She gave up and lost in her thoughts.

Geet (self-talk) : Ye Maan ka na, mujhe kuch samajh mein nahin aata hai?? Arre mujhe kya sapna aayega, ke hum kisi disco mein jaa rahe hain??

Maan was looking at her walking towards him lost in her self-talks and now his over sensitive ears could even hear her blabbering...

Geet realised all of a sudden that they are going to disco and her eyes widens and she says to herself "Disco!!!??"

She looks up and says "Par babaji, disco mein to wo nangi pungi ladkiya hoti hain na?? Aur... Aur wahan to log drinks bhi karte hain?? Chhee chhee chhee!! Nahin nahin Babaji!! Mujhe nahi jaana aisi gandi jagah pe!!! Magar ab main kya karoon??!!" she makes a baby face and says while still looking up "Babaji, main Maan ko kaise mana karoon?? Please koi raasta dikhayiye babaji!!"

She looks down and see herself face to face with Maan. She didn't realised in her bak-bak that she has reached the car.

Maan was looking at her with his arms crossed over his chest with a fake angry face.

He said while hiding his smile "Agar tum khud se baat kar ke free ho gayi ho, to chalein?" he teased her.

She faked an artificial smile and nods "Ji."

Maan controls his laughter with a lot of difficulty. This girl is really a unique piece! He has never seen any girl who loved to talk this much!! She doesn't even 'need' anybody to talk to!!

He shakes his head while mentally laughing and opens the passenger door for her and she slides in, and he himself hops behind the wheels.

IN THE CAR

Geet is still thinking how to tell him that she doesn't want to go to the disco.

Maan knew what was going on in her mind as he has already heard her talking to herself but he remained mum.

There was silence between them, which was soothing for Maan and disturbing for Geet!!

She started talking to herself "Ab main kya karoon?? Aise to hum wahan pohanch bhi jaayenge!!" she said the word 'wahan' as if it is a some dirty word.

Maan said "Did you say something Geet?" And he regretted the next moment that why he asked her that!! Because then she starts 'talking'!!!!

"Nahin, kuch nahin!" and then she corrects herself the next second "Mera matlab hai, ji. Actually main keh rahi thi, ke hum disco ja rahe hain, hai na?"

"Hmm."

"Maine suna hai, ke woh bohat hi gandi jagah hoti hai!" she said making a baby face.

"Nahin Geet, aisa kuch nahi hai! It's a nice disco!"

She puts dramatics in her voice and said like trying to scare him "Nahin Maan, aapko nahi pata! Meri friends hai na, sab jaati hain disco vagara mein!! Aur unhone mujhe bataya ke wahan na, sab ladkiya" and she whispers like she is gonna say some ominous jinx word "chhote chhote kapde pehen ke aati hain!"

It took a lot of self control for Maan to stop himself from smiling at her innocence but failed miserably.

Geet thought that he is not believing her and so she says while pinching her neck "Sach Maan! Babaji ki kasam!!! Aur pata hai, wahan log drinks bhi karte hain!!"

Maan looks at her unbelievably. He couldn't believe that an innocent girl like her does really exist in this world!

And she nods her head vigorously to stress that it's true.

"Aur itna hi nahin! Pata hai, kabhi kabhi to drugs bhi lete hain!!" her eyes widened to give the effect to the shock.

Maan says playfully faking unbelievably "No ways Geet! Really??"

"Haan Maan, ab main aapse jhooth kiyun bolungi?? Waise ye sab baatein to aapko pata honi chahiye thi! Aapne to khud itni films mein kaam kiya hai!!! Films mein wohi to dikhate hain, jo real life mein hota hai!!"

Now it was getting so hard for Maan to hold in his laughter.

"Maan, aap meri baat maaniye, aur aap bhi mat jaayiye wahan pe!!" she said hopefully.

He controls himself and thought about clearing her misconceptions. She was too innocent that someone should tell her the truth.

He said "Geet, dekho aisa kuch nahin--"

Geet saw that he is not believing her and she cuts him in between and said more dramatically "Aur pata hai, kabhi kabhi to, wahan pe police ki raid bhi pad jaati hai!"

Ok now that's it!! Maan broke into laughter at her words.

Geet narrows her eyes realising that he was not believing her and making fun of her. She says angrily "Aap ko mujhpe yakeen nahi hai na?? To theek hai!! Jaayiye us gandi jagah pe, lekin jab police aap ko pakad legi na, to fir mere paas rote huye mat aayiyega, ke maine aapko warn nahi kiya!!"

Something in her words made him angry and he said picking up his chin in pride "Maan Singh Khurana kabhi nahi rota!!"

Geet says sarcastically "Wo to aaj tak tha, lekin jab police ke dande padte hain na, to achche achche rone lag jaate hain!!"

"Geeeth!!" he said angrily but then controls himself and says nicely "Geet, aisa kuch bhi nahi hoga! Jo cheez filmo mein dikhti hai, har cheez waisi nahi hoti! You have misconceptions about discos! It is not a bad place. I'm sure you'll enjoy very much over there!"

She makes a baby face and says "And what if I don't?"

Maan sighs and says "Then we will come back okay??!!"

But she was still not satisfied.

She said with the same baby face "But do we have to go???"

Maan looked at her and for a split second, he had a strong urge to pull her chubby cheeks... She was looking too adorable!!

But then he controls himself and says "Geet, even I don't want to go! But it's my best friend's birthday party!! And she has come back from NY after 8 months just to celebrate her birthday with me!" and smiles at her.

Suddenly Geet jumps in excitement and says "Oh yes!!! Today is Mahi's birthday right???"

Maan puts the brake on abruptly and looks at her shocked!!!!

He asks suspiciously shocked "How do you know Mahi???????"

Part 5

He puts on the brake abruptly and looked at her shocked!!

He said suspiciously "How do you know Mahi??"

Mahi is Maan's best friend...She is a fashion photographer but she doesn't live in India. Very few people know her in India and it pricked him that how does Geet know Mahi and about her birthday too!!!

The first suspicion that crossed his mind was that does Geet has some connection with Sameera?? Is she Sameera?? But how is that possible??

His thoughts break with her words "Wo... actually... she is your best friend right?? I read about her in one of your interviews in a magazine last year!!"

Maan took a sigh of relief and remembers vaguely that he did had mentioned once in an interview about his best friend's birthday last year...

He looks at her and praises "You have a sharp memory Geet!"

OMG! Maan Singh Khurana praising her!!!! Someone please hold her! She's gonna faint!!!

Geet blushes and managed to say "Thank you!"

Maan looks at her while driving and saw her looking down shying... He couldn't understand what has he said to make her blush like this??

But decided not to say anything...

And there was again silence between them which was soothing for him... And again...disturbing for her...

It was like she was not meant for silence. Like there was an urge in her to fill every moment of silence with her talks...

She said suddenly "Maan, aapka favourite hero kaun hai??"

Of course she knows that Big B is his favourite hero, but she just needed something to start the convo...

"Amitabh Bachchan."

Geet fakes enthusiasm and says "Really??? You know what! I knew it!!" and she gives a silly smile.

Maan frowns at the stupid answer and says "Then why did you asked me?"

"Maan, seriously have you heard your voice?" she asks innocently.

"What?" He asks confusedly.

"Arre, Babaji ne itni achchi awaaz di hai, to thoda sa istemaal kar lijiye!! Warna aap baad mein mujhe hi dosh denge, ke maine aapko bolne nahin diya!! Pata hai, woh Pinky hai na, wo bhi hamesha yehi kehti rehti hai, ke main kisi aur ko bolne ka mauka nahin deti!! To main nahi chahti, ke aap bhi kal ko mujhe kahein, ke maine aapko bolne ka mauka nahi dia!! Isiliye to main aapse aise sawaal bhi poochh rahi hoon, jinka answer mujhe already pata hai!!"

Maan was looking at her with amused expression!!! From where does this girl get so much energy to talk continuously!!!

And she starts talking to herself "Waise mujhe nahi lagta, ke aisi koi cheez hai Jo main inke baare mein nahin jaanti!! Favourite music... Naa! I know he likes old slow songs!!! A bit boring...but..." she makes a face and leaves it at that!!

Maan shakes his head mentally but at the same time enjoying her talks...

Maan was taken aback by her next question which was intended to him all of a sudden "Maan, did you ever had a girlfriend???" she asks enthusiastically.

At last she has remembered something that she doesn't know about him!!! It was true that his name had been linked up with many of his co-actresses but after some time, all had turned out to be just rumours!!! Nobody knew about his love life neither she has heard anything about it!!!

But as soon as the words escaped from her mouth, she regretted it!!! Does she really wanna know about his love life??? Probably not!! She herself didn't know if it would hurt her or not if he had girlfriends in the past, which was inevitable in the light of that he's totally hot and extremely good-looking!!!

Maan's expressions changes instantly and he looked on the road in the front but didn't reply..

Geet looks at him and realised that he doesn't want to answer her that! She somewhat was relieved too.

She chides herself "Oye Geet! Tu bhi jhalli hai bilkul!! Arre bolne se pehle ek baar soch to liya kar!! Agar unki koi girlfriend hogi bhi, to wo tujhe kiyu bataayenge??!! Tu bhi na! Har kisi ke personal maamle mein taang araati rehti hai!! Dekh! Gussa ho gaye na phir se!! Tu kiyu aisa karti hai??" she hits the back of her head.

Maan was hearing everything, and forgot what she had asked few moments ago. Her adorable self-talk has made him forget about Sameera instantly.

Normally, he didn't liked people who talked so much... He was the kind of man who believed in doing rather than talking... But he didn't know why, he wasn't getting irritated or angry by her continuous talking!! On the contrary, he was rather enjoying it!!

And a little smile starts threatening around his lips by hearing her talking to herself.

Geet still lost in her self-talks "Dekh Geet, sudhar jaa!! Aaj ek din mein teesri baar wo tujh pe gussa huye hain!!! Maan-na padega Geet! Kya raftaar pakdi hai!! Waise, mujhe nahi lagta ke ye gusse ke ilawa aur kuch bhi karte hain!!" she shakes her head disappointedly "Dekha na, chhoti si baat par Dusht-Danav ban jaate hain!!"

Maan, who has heard everything, looks at her angrily as he heard her calling him Dusht-Danav. He says "What?? Kya kaha tumne?"

Geet fakes innocence "Maine? Maine to kuch bhi nahi kaha!! Main to kab se chup baithi hoon!!"

"Really Geet?" he said sarcastically "Agar ise tum chup baithna kehti ho, to jab tum bologi tab kya hoga??"

"Pata nahi Maan! Par main to kabhi kuch bolti hi nahi hoon!! Kab se to aap hi bole jaa rahe hain!!!" she said innocently.

Maan closes his eyes in frustration and says "Just leave it Geet!!"

Geet again starts her self-talk "Ye lo! Kab se khud hi bole jaa rahe hain, aur upar se khud hi attitude dikha rahe hain!!! Maana ke mujhe unki baatein sun-na achcha lagta hai, magar iska matlab ye to nahi na, ke dusre ko to bolne ka mauka hi na dein, aur bolne ka ilzaam bhi dusre pe lagaaye!!"

Maan rolls his eyes in frustration and took a deep breath!!!

And he suddenly stops the car.

Geet looks outside to see if they had reached the disco and says "Maan, hum pohunch gaye kya?"

"Geet, we are at the mall!" and before he could say anything more, she said "Mall? Disco mall mein hai?? Lekin main to yahaan subah hi aayi thi, par dadima ne to mujhe kuch bhi nahi bataya ke is mall mein disco bhi hai!!"

And she looks up and says "Hey babaji!! Dekha? Kya zamaana aa gaya hai!! Aaj kal malls mein bhi disco khulne lag gaye!! Matlab pehle jahaan kapde milte the, ab wahan log bina kapdo ke naachte hain!! Chhee chhee chhee babaji!!!" and she touches her cheeks while doing 'tauba!'

Maan stops her in between her talking and says "One minute Geet! One minute!! Kabhi kisi aur ko bhi galti se bolne ka mauka de dia karo!!! Aur hum yahaan disco mein nahin, tumhare liye dress kharidne aaye hain!!!" he tells her the truth.

"Ab chalein?" he says and walks inside the mall while Geet starts walking behind him while talking to babaji...

"Kya babaji! Aap bhi na!!! Mujhe to laga tha ke wo dress ke baare mein bhool gaye honge!! Par nahin!! Aapko to jaise maza aata hai na mujhe tang kar ke!! Aap ke liye ye kya mushkil tha, agar wo dress ke baare mein bhool jaate to!!! Ab mujhe wo nangi pungi dress pehan-ni padegi!! Babaji!!!!" she makes a baby face while Maan enjoying her talks in front of her...

Geet didn't realise that Maan has stopped in front of her, and she just kept on walking while looking up and talking when suddenly she bumps into him.

And she looses her balance... She closes her eyes in the fear of fall when she felt two strong arms sliding in her waist...

After a moment, she opened her eyes and saw Maan's face few inches away from hers...

For a minute, or eternity, the time stopped for them...

Geet looked into his eyes and felt herself drowning... She has never realised how beautiful deep brown eyes he had!! The pictures and videos were nothing compared to his living form...

Her mind went blank while Maan's condition was also the same...

He was loosing himself in her big hazel eyes and he wasn't minding it either... He wished he could stay like this forever while looking into these beautiful eyes... His heart was in a turmoil of emotions...

He wanted to kiss these beautiful eyes!! He wanted to see just his reflection in those eyes forever!! He wanted that those eyes should just see him forever!!

But suddenly their trance broke with some girls' giggling...

They looked towards the source of the sound and saw a group of teenage girls looking at them and giggling among themselves!!

He instantly makes Geet stand up and asks embarrassedly "Are you OK?"

Geet nods a yes while looking down. She was still trying to control the turmoil of feelings in her.

The teenage girls comes to Maan and asks for his autograph, which he happily starts giving thanking that it will give him some time to control his erratic heartbeats!!!

By the time Maan gets free, both him and Geet were able to control themselves...

Then they goes to the western clothes section...

Maan stands there with his arms crossed on his chest waiting for Geet to choose a dress from the racks.

Geet looks at him and gives a fake smile and turns the dresses making baby face. She did not want to wear these short dresses...

She says to herself "Ye kahaan phas gayi main!! Babaji please koi raasta dikhaayiye na!!!"

She moves the dresses angrily on the rack and suddenly an idea strucks her and her face lits up with a smile which was not missed by Maan.

She tries to compose her face and looks at Maan and says faking a sad face "I'm sorry Maan, but I can't buy any dress! Wo kya hai na, I don't have money!!"

Maan smiles internally at her plan and says "Geet, mere hote huye tumko lagta hai ke tumhe paiso ki fikar karne ki zaroorat hai?? Jab tak main hoon Geet, tumhe in sab baaton ki fikar karne ki zaroorat nahin hai!! Maan Singh Khurana tumhare liye kuch bhi khareed sakta hai!!! Main tumhare liye aasmaan ke chaand sitaare tak tod ke laa sakta hoon, to ek dress kya cheez hai!!!"

Geet looks at him shocked by his words, Maan realised what he has said way after the words have already escaped from his mouth. He was too shocked at himself!!! He didn't know why he said it with such intensity!!

But he came back to senses and realises that he has to do damage control. He changed his voice and facial expressions and said "Um...mera matlab hai...uh...ummm...uh...as you are going with me... I mean I made you change the dress... I mean you were already wearing the sari... And I'm making you change...um..." he has no idea what he was saying or whether it was making any sense or not "so I thought...that...uh...you know...I owe you a dress!!" he didn't know if it made any sense or not but it was getting harder for him to stand there with Geet's eyes piercing his soul.

Geet was still looking at him with intense expression. His words were like craved at her heart!!! She didn't know if he meant those words or not, it wasn't like there was a lot of meaning to those words, but still her heart was telling her that those words were out of care... He cared for her!!!

Some part of her rational thinking was telling her that she was just being crazy!! He probably didn't even meant like that!! She didn't even hear what he said afterwards as her heart was happy to stay in her dreamland!!!

She saw him about to go from there and she didn't liked it and said "Maan!"

He stops in his steps fearing what she's gonna say!!!

"Can you help me choose a dress?" she said blushing! What??? Did she heard right?? She's blushing??!! But this is crazy!! She doesn't even know why she's blushing all over!!!

Maan looked back at her and she looks at him from behind her butterfly eyelashes!! And his heart skipped a beat!! He doesn't know why suddenly his heart has started beating erratically!! What's wrong with him??? When does Maan Singh Khurana has started to get nervous around a girl??!!!!!!

He looks at few dresses without looking into her eyes, and picked up one knee-length white dress...

He gave it to her without looking at her and mumbles before leaving from there "This would look good on you!!"

Geet takes the dress from his hands and went to the fitting rooms to change while turmoil of thoughts going in her mind... She was half in trance, while other half was active!!!

She didn't know what was happening to her??!! It was true that she has always loved him.. He was her dream man...her idol...her hero...But she has never felt like this before!!! So what's wrong with her now!!!

She snaps at herself and says "Geet, pagal mat ban!! Kahaan wo, aur kahaan tu!!! Tu unke baare mein aisa waisa kuch soch bhi nahi sakti!! He is out of your league!!! He is a superstar!!! Ladkiyan marti hain unpar!!! Do you think he will even give you a second glance!!! You are with him today, because he is a super nice guy!!! Wo kitne achche hain ke wo tujhe apne saath party mein leke jaa rahe hain!! Ye sirf unki achchayi hai!!" she chides herself "Iska aur koi matlab nikalne ki galti bhi tu nahi kar sakti!!! Ab apne aap pe kaabu kar, aur chup chaap dress pehen ke bahar chal!!! Babaji! Please madad karna!!" and she looks at the dress for the first time and her eyes widens in shock!!!

Part 6

Geet looked at the dress for the first time and her eyes widened in shock!!

It was a white knee-length one-piece dress with the straps made to make a knot at the back and to her horror, backless!!!!

She gulps down her saliva in realisation that she has to wear this nangi-pungi dress.

She closed her eyes to calm herself down and said with a deep breath "Geet, don't worry!! You can do this!! Hai na babaji? Haan!! Sab ladkiya pehanti hi hai aisi dresses!! Aur ye to Mumbai hai!!! Yahaan sab pehante hain!!" she tried to console herself but she couldn't!!!

"Whom am I kidding!! Sab pehante honge, magar main nahi pehan sakti!!" she makes a baby face but then controls herself and said determinedly "Pagal mat ban Geet!! You can do this!! And don't forget you are doing this for Maan!!!" she blushed at his name "Wo kitne achche hain! Tujhe apne saath party mein leke jaa rahe hain!!! Aur tu unke liye ek dress nahin pehan sakti?? Wo bhi sirf ek din ke liye!! Waise to bada kehti firti hai, ke unse pyar karti hai, aur unke liye ek chhoti si dress nahi pehan sakti?? Sharam aani chahiye Geet!! Kitni beizitti hogi unki, agar tu unke saath disco mein sari pehen ke jaayegi!! Sab hansege unpar!! Tu chahti hai ke log unpar hanse, aur wo bhi teri wajah se??" she shakes her head in a no and said "Nahin na? To chup chaap ye dress pehan le!! Aur agar problem hai, to dress ki taraf mat dekh!! Aankhein band kar, aur pehan le!!" she proposes and says looking up "Hai na babaji? Haan!!"

While Maan wanted to run away from there!!! What was happening to him??!! Why is he unable to control his erratic heartbeats??? He didn't know how will he face her!!! He didn't even know that he was still capable of these emotions!!! What would she be thinking about him!!!

He closes his eyes to control himself and said "Maan, control yourself!! This is happening just because she looks like Sameera. There is no other reason of it... I should not have asked her to this party!! It was a mistake!! But now control yourself!! Don't worry this night will soon be over!! Soon!!!" he tried to console himself.

I'm sorry Maan but I have a feeling that this night is gonna be veryyy lonnng!!! For you at least!!!!

His thoughts broke as he felt her presence towards his side. He looks towards her and for a second his mind becomes totally blank!

Geet was wearing the dress and she was looking so pretty and hot in that dress!! Is it possible to look hot and sexy, and cute and innocent at the same time?? Because she looked like that!!

She was looking very sexy in that dress...her curves looking more distinguished...like the dress was specially made for her... But at the same time, there was an aura of innocence around her...

Maan was staring at her without blinking... His mind wasn't working anymore that he would realise what he's doing. Forbidden desires urging in his body...

And then his eyes followed towards her dress and he realised that she was very uncomfortable in that dress... She was trying to pull the dress up from her cleavage and down to her knee at the same time to cover herself...

Maan's trance broke with her uncomfortness and he looked to the side...

He looked away out of respect... He was surprised at himself because he has never ever cared what girls wear around him... He has even seen many heroines in bikinis on-screen and off-screen but none has ever even able to stir him... He has never looked away from any out of respect or embarrassment whatsoever... Maybe because those girls themselves didn't cared what they wore...

But he knew that Geet was feeling uncomfortable by him looking at her in those clothes, so he looked away... Yes!!! That is the reason!!! He is looking away just out of respect and not out of care...

He was happy with the conclusion he came up on!!!

But then suddenly his thoughts break as he saw 2 guys looking at Geet in that dress...

Instantly his blood boiled in anger!!! He clenched his fist to either control himself or hit them till death...he didn't know!!!

He didn't know how he stopped himself from hitting those guys to death, but he did.

He quickly goes towards Geet and takes his coat off and covers herself and stood in front of her while blocking the view of her to the guys..

Geet looks at him surprised by his act of covering her with his coat.

Maan said in a rough voice "Wear your sari back!!"

All his self-control is being used up to restrain himself from hitting those guys...

Geet looked at him surprised and said making a baby face "But why?? Dekhiye Maan, aap ek baar decide kar lijiye ke main kya pehnu, main baar-baar vapis change nahi karne wali!! Pata hai aapko, ke main---"

"Geeet!!!" he stopped her in between angrily. All his strength was already getting used up to control himself forcefully, that he doesn't have patience or strength left in him to argue with her now!! Why this girl can't listen to him in the first time??!!

He said in controlled anger "Jitna kaha hai, utna karo!! Go and wear your sari back!!!"

Geet makes a baby face and goes inside.

When Geet went back to the fitting room, he looked back towards the direction of the guys... But there was nobody anymore...

He took a deep breath to control his erratic heartbeats. He closed his eyes, but Geet's image flashed in front his closed eyes, and he snapped open his eyes.

She said to herself frustratingly "Ye Maan bhi na, pata nahi chahte kya hai?? Mujhe kya bachchi samajhte hain!! Ke kabhi ye dress pehan lo, kabhi wo dress pehan lo!! Hmph!!" she makes a face "Agar sari hi pehan-ni thi, to ye dress kiyun pehanvai mujhe?? Kahi aisa to nahi, ke wo mujhe aise kapdon mein dekhna chahte the??" she makes a disgusting face while a thought crossed her mind of doubting his intentions, but as soon as the thought came, she discarded it "Chhee chhee Geet!! Tu unke baare mein aisa soch bhi kaise sakti hai!!!??? Tu unki neeyat pe shak kar rahi hai?? Sharam aani chahiye tujhe!!! Tu zaroor is dress mein bhadi [ugly] lag rahi hogi, tabhi unhone tujhe waapis sari pehan-ne ke liye kaha!!" she looks at her reflection in the mirror checking her out and concluded "Ugly main nahi, ugly to ye dress hai!! Hmph!!" she makes a face.

And she takes a deep breath looking at her sari and says "Chal Geet, wapis pehan le apni sari..."

After some time, Geet comes out wearing sari and Maan started moving ahead not wanting to look at her or more precisely, her to look at him.

Geet started walking behind him while talking to herself angrily "Pata nahi kya samajhte hain apne aap ko??!! Kabhi sari pehno, to kabhi dress pehno, aur phir waapis sari pehno!!! Puppet bana ke rakh diya hai!!"

Maan was hearing everything but he decided to ignore it.

She continued "Arre, agar sari hi pehan-ni thi, to itni door tak aane ki kya zaroorat thi!! Ek to itni mehnat se tayaar hui thi!! Pehli baar, pata hai babaji pehli baar maine make-up kiya tha, wo bhi inke liye! Lekin inko kisi ki feelings ki kadar ho tab na!! Inko pata bhi hai, sari pehan-ne mein kitni mehnat lagti hai??!!" she said making a baby face.

Maan's lips twitched slightly into a smile at her last remark but he still decided to keep mum.

She said looking up "Inko to sirf hukum chalaana aata hai!! Kabhi dress pehno, kabhi sari pehno..." she tried to fix her pleats of the sari frustratingly.

"Ab isse kya ho gaya??!!" Maan heard her say and looked back towards her to see what she's talking about.

As he looked at her, his eyes widened at the sight.

Her sari has been opened and she was trying to put the pleats back on it's place pathetically.

Maan goes towards her and said angrily "Ye tum kar kya rahi ho Geet??? Yahaan sab ke saamne..." he looks around to see that nobody has seen her in this less-dignified half-undressed form.

"Ismein meri koi galti nahi hai, ye sari apni jagah pe nahi ruk rahi to main kya karoon??" she said frustratingly while still trying to figure out the pleats...

He holds her hand and drags her towards the car before anybody could see her, but she trips on her open sari just in the next step and held Maan's shoulder for support. "Maan!!" she said instantly to make him stop dragging her or else she's gonna fall.

Maan realised that she can't walk like this, but he can't let her stand here either and fixes her sari!!!

He closes his eyes in frustration and picks her up in his arms and started walking towards the car.

OMG!!! Tonight Geet is definitely gonna faint!!! Maan Singh Khurana picking her!!!!! It was like some fairytale scenario for her in which the prince saves his princess from the dragon and picks up in his arms...OMG!!! She is in his arms!!! She went into her lala land...

While the little walk to the car was so torturous for him!!! Not because she was too heavy, in fact she was light as a flower!! But because of the close proximity... Her smell was making him insane!!! He had a huge urge to loose himself in her smell... It was getting so hard for him to control himself.

He could've controlled himself if it would've been just her smell that was pulling him towards her. But her touch was making it impossible for him to control. Her bare waist under his hands was acting like fuel to the fire. His hands twitched to feel her more...to touch her more...

He was so close to loosing control on himself and doing something that he knew he would regret for the rest of his life, when they reached the car.

He reluctantly puts her down while his senses didn't wanted to, and took a step back to breathe in the fresh air. And the fresh air acted as a soothing balm on his burning desires. And he realised what he was feeling!!! He, Maan Singh Khurana, is unable to control himself in front of this girl!!! He looked at her angrily while she was still trying to fix her sari...

"Geet, what are you doing??" he said angrily.

Geet was already frustrated at her sari, so she snapped back "Dikhayi nahi de raha hai Maan? I'm trying to fix this stupid sari!!!"

Maan gritted his teeth in frustration "But how did it opened on the first place?? Hadn't you tied it properly???"

"I did!!! But don't know why isn't it staying on place??!!!" she said innocently.

Maan closes his eyes in frustration and said "Now will you hurry up!! Before anybody would see you here like this???" he turned his back on her to give her some privacy.

"But mujhe sari tie karna nahi aata!!" she told innocently.

"WHATTT???!!!!!!" he looked back at her shocked!!!

Part 7

"But mujhe sari tie karna nahi aata!!" she told innocently.

"WHATTT???!!!!!!" he looked back at her shocked!!!

Geet shrugs her shoulders innocently but didn't say anything.

After 2 seconds he comes out of the shock and says unbelievably "Tumhe... But... How... You... I..." he struggled to find the words but just couldn't.

Geet waited for him to actually say something...

After some seconds, he was actually able to find his words "Then how did you wear it before??!!"

Geet thought it as a stupid question but she answered it anyways "Dadima helped me!!" she said as if it was so obvious.

Maan was able to control himself by now and he said angrily "If you didn't knew how to tie a sari, then why did you wear it??" He couldn't believe how can she be so stupid to do something like this...

Geet frowns at his question and all the frustration of her open sari came out on Maan "Ye lo! Ab iska ilzaam bhi aap mujhpar dalenge!!??Ye sari maine aapki wajah se pehni hai, aur aap mujhe dosh de rahe hain??!!"

Maan narrows his eyes on her accusation and said "Meri wajah se??' Maine tumse kaha tha, sari pehan ke aane ke liye??"

"Aur nahi to kya!!" she said with a baby pout.

"Kya??!!" he said surprised.

"Kiyun? Last year ek interview mein aapne nahi kaha tha, ke aapko indian dresses mein sari pasand hai?!!"

He looks at her flabbergastedly. He couldn't believe that she wore this sari for him, even when she doesn't know how to wear it...

She continued "Aur ismein meri koi galti nahi hai!! Main to ye sari ghar se achchi tarah se baandh kar aayi thi!! Aapki wajah se mujhe ye sari utaarni padi!!!"

Maan looked at her surprised at her last words!!! Does this girl thinks before she speaks??!!!

He looked away embarrassedly at her words that she took off her sari because of him!! He knew she didn't meant it in that context, but that's the moot point! She is too innocent to understand the thoughts that stirred in Maan's mind with her words.

Geet, oblivious to Maan's thoughts, continued "Agar aap mujhe wo nangi-pungi dress pehan-ne ke liye naa kehte, to meri sari to bilkul perfect thi!!"

Maan's lips twitched into a slight smile at the adjective she used for the dress...nangi-pungi!

"Lekin nahin, aap to hamesha apni marzi ki hi karte ho na!! Kya zaroorat thi, mujhe wo gandi si dress zabardasti pehanvane ki??!! Agar aap ne mere saath zabardasti naa ki hoti, to ye sari abhi bhi meri kamar pe tiki hoti!!"

The girl seriously doesn't think before speaking!!! Now only this was left to hear! That Maan Singh Khurana tried to do zabardasti with a girl!! He smiled mentally as he realised that his mind is moulding the true meaning of her words into something else... And to his utmost surprise, he was actually enjoying it too!!

Geet who still didn't know that Maan is mentally operating her each word and giving some other meaning to it, continued "Arre agar dress change karni hi thi to pehanvai kiyun??!!"

Maan comes out of his thoughts with her last words as he remembered the reason why he asked her to change back into sari. And all those emotions came back to him in a force... But he pulls himself together and said angrily "That was because I knew you were unable to carry that dress!!" he snapped at her.

Geet's mouth fell open into a perfect O at his words and she said angrily "Excuse me, kasoor mera nahi, kasoor us ugly dress ka tha!!"

Maan said teasingly "Oh please, don't blame the dress!!" he rolled his eyes on her to enjoy the desired effect of his words on her.

Geet was gonna say something when Maan holds her from her shoulders, and pushes her towards the car, and stood very close to her making her a sandwich between car and his body...

Geet gasps at the sudden movement!!

The next instant she saw him standing very close to her... Their bodies touching each other... There was no space between their bodies... His face mere inches away from hers...

Geet looked into his beautiful brown eyes and she felt herself drowning in them...

She could feel his warm breath fanning her face...while stirring forbidden desires in her...

Her heart was beating erratically in her chest...

It felt like the time stopped for them... They eyes boring into each others...

Maan's condition was no less than Geet!! He was drowning in her beautiful hazel eyes...

All the forbidden desires that he has squished forcefully few minutes ago, started surfacing again in him with such close proximity...

Her petite and delicate body against his hard and macho body was urging him to touch her...to feel her...to love her...

Her luscious rose-petal lips were pulling him towards her... His throat was getting dry...

His face started leaning towards hers on it's own accord...

Geet's breathing fastened seeing him leaning towards her while her heart threatened to jump out of her chest...

She didn't know what was happening or what was he doing...

Maan was very close to her now when his trance broke with the noise of someone's opening their car's lock!!

He gets back a little to his original position while cursing himself mentally. He wished he could leave her and get away from her as much as possible but he knew he can't do that... He still remembers the reason why he held her like this, and he's not gonna back-off until it's safe...

He peeked from his shoulder towards the person leaving and gets away from Geet.

Geet tried to control her erratic heartbeats and quick breathing and looked at him confused!! She still didn't know why he did this!!!

Maan looks away trying to control himself and said "I'm sorry! Someone was coming...so I...umm... uh... I'm sorry!!!" he was able to utter at last.

And Geet realised what might have happened... He covered her with his body so that somebody didn't see her in this condition.

She felt overwhelmed by his act... She wondered if people like him really exists in this world!!??? But then again, he is Maan Singh Khurana!! Who is the only one of a kind in the world!!!

She looked at him feeling grateful and said "Thank you!"

"Hmm." Maan said without looking at her. He was still not able to control his desires that he could've looked into her eyes...

After a moment, his mind started getting clearer and he could think straight again. He heard her say "But what are we gonna do now??"

He said without looking at her "Umm... Sit in the car before anybody see you!! I'll go and buy you some dress!!" he opens the car door for her, and she slides in...

When he was about to leave, Geet realised something and calls him "Maan!"

Maan looks back at her and she said pouting her lips adorably "I'm not gonna wear those nangi-pungi dresses again!!"

Maan was gonna say something angrily, but he kept mum seeing the adorable pout on her face.

So he said "Ok! I'll get you Indian suit then!!"

Geet nods and as he was about to go, he remember something and asks her "What's your size?" the words escaped his mouth before he could realise the meaning of his words.

Geet's eyes widens in shock and she said frowning "Ji??!!"

Maan realised what she's thinking the meaning of his words and said "No.. I mean what's your suit's size??"

Geet was flabbergasted by his question. She rolled her eyes on him and said "Maan, aap bhi na!! Kabhi kabhi bina dimag ke question poochhte ho!!! Aap ko kya lagta hai, koun hoon main??"

Maan looks at her dumbstruck not knowing where this conversation going!! Does he ever know it??!! That he will know now!!! The girl is so unpredictable... So he gave up thinking knowing that she's gonna tell him anyways pretty soon...

"Nahi nahin boliye na!! Kya lagta hai aapko??!! Main koi tailor hoon!! Jo mujhe suits ka maap pata hoga!!! Yaa mera koi boutique hai, jo main suits ke maap leti rehti hoon??!! Shayad aapko pata nahi hoga, lekin mere suits ka maap to hamesha masterji hi lete hain!! Main thodi na unse poochhti firti hoon, ke mere suit ka maap kya hai!! Wo to wohi khud hi suit banaa dete hain!! Kahin aapko ye to nahi lagta hai, ke main bevakoof hoon, jo aap bina sir pair ka sawaal mujhse poochh rahe ho??!!" the realisation dawns on her and she said "Haawww!! Iska matlab aap mujhe bevakoof samajhte hain!! Aur apni baat saabit karne ke liye, mujhse aisa poochh rahe hain!!"

Maan looks at her unbelievably and said frustartingly "Geeet!!! Ek minute!! Kitna bolti ho tum??!! You know what galti meri hi hai, Jo maine tumse ye poochh liya!! Tumse baat karna matlab bhains ke aage been bajaane wali baat hai!! Kiyunki tum duniya bhar ki saari baatein karogi, lekin jo poochha jayega, wo nahi bataaogi!!" he said with sarcastic frustration.

Geet opens her mouth in shock and said making baby face "Aapne mujhe bhains kaha??!! Main aapko bhains jaisi lagti hoon??!! Aur bina matlab ki baatein main nahi, aap karte hain!! Shaam se leke ab tak aapki zubaan ne ek minute ka bhi aaraam nahi kiya, continuously aap bole jaa rahe hain, aur ilzaam mujhpe lagaa rahe hain!!??" she looks up and says "Dekha na babaji!! Aap to sab dekh rahe hain ke koun zyada bol raha hai!! Aap gawah hain mere!! To please inko bataayiye zaraa ke zyada main nahi," she looks at Maan and said "zyada ye bolte hain!!"

Maan closes his eyes in frustration and said "Geet!!! Ek minute!!! Tum jeet gayi, aur main haar gaya, bas??!!!" and he said sarcastically "Tab se main hi bol raha hoon, aur tum chup baithi ho!! Happy?? You know what, rehne do!!! Main apne aap koi suit le aaunga!!" he shakes his head frustratingly and was about to go when a new realisation dawns on Geet and she calls him "Maan!!"

He looks back at her and said frustratingly "Ab kya hai??!!"

"Please mujhe akela chhod ke mat jaayiye!! Mujhe darr lagta hai!!"

Maan rolls his eyes frustratingly but as he looks at her face, his expressions softens as he realised that she is really scared.

He said consolingly "Geet, don't worry! Just lock the doors from inside!! I'll be back pretty soon!!"

But she said stubbornly "Nahin Maan, main yahaan akeli nahi rahoongi!! Ek kaam karti hoon, main bhi aapke saath chalti hoon!!" she opened the car door to get out.

Maan said shockingly seeing that she is really about to get out of the car "Geet pagal ho gayi ho?? Tum andar kaise jaa sakti ho??!!"

Geet said innocently "Apne pairon se chal ke!!" and she added teasingly "Maan, shayad aapko pata nahi, lekin zyadaatar log pairon se hi chalte hain!!"

Maan narrows his eyes on her and says sarcastically "Oh really Geet?! Mujhe laga ke log haathon ke bal chalte hain!!! And by the way, how will you walk with your open sari??"

"Ae le!! Ismein kya badi baat hai!! Ab andar se baahar tak main chal ke hi aayi hoon na, wo bhi khuli sari ke saath!! To baahar se andar tak to jaa hi sakti hoon!!" she said proudly.

Maan looks at her sarcastically and said "Yeah right!! Tum khud chal kar hi to yahaan tak aayi ho, main thodi na tumhe god mein utha kar car tak leke aaya tha!!!" he finished with a sarcastic smile.

She said with a baby pout "Oh! To ab aap ehsaan jataa rahe hain!!?? Maine thodi na aapko kaha tha ke mujhe god mein utha kar car tak leke chaliye!!! Aur waise bhi, agar main yahaan par ruk bhi jaaoon, aur aap mere liye suit le bhi aaye, to aapne socha hai, ke main wo suit change kahaan karungi??!!"

Maan didn't say anything realising the logic in Geet's words. Even if he brought suit for her, where will she change it??!!

Geet saw him thinking and thought that he's giving in at last and said to take advantage of him being deep in thoughts "Is liye main keh rahi hoon, main bhi aapke saath andar chalti hoon!!" she tries to get out of the car.

"NO!!!" he said quickly making her stop in between of getting out from the car. He said authoritatively "You will NOT go inside in this condition!!"

Geet looked at him scared; she did not wanted to stay here alone in the car. She was scared of dark and the parking lot was very spooky, and the condition she was in, there was no way she was staying alone in the car.

"Then what will we do??" she asked him daringly.

Maan closed his eyes to make a decision and said "Fine!! We are going back home and there Dadima could fix your sari again!"

Geet realised that it's the best option and nods and Maan gets behind the wheels.

PRECAP: Dadima's not home!!!! HELP!!!

Part 8

Maan gets behind the wheels and starts driving...

Geet looks at Maan and saw him looking ahead...

So she started the conversation... She didn't liked the silence between them "Waise Maan, ek baat boloon?!"

"Hmm." He said while still looking ahead.

"Hum waise ghar jaa to rahe hain, lekin aapne socha hai ke aap Dadima se kahenge kya??" she asked him in a curious tone.

Maan didn't understand what she's trying to say, so he asked "Matlab?"

"Matlab jab Dadima aapse poochhengi ki ye sari kaise khul gayi, to aap kya kahenge??" she asked curiously.

"Ismein sochne wali koun si baat hai!! Sach bata denge aur kya??!!" and then he realised something and said "Ek minute!! Lekin Dadima mujhse kiyun poochhengi??!! Sari tumhari khuli hai, tumhein sari tie karni nahi aati, aur jawab main doonga??!!" he said unbelievably.

Geet makes a baby face and said "Aap fir se iska ilzaam mujhpe lagaa rahe hain??!!" she looks up at the car ceiling and said "Dekha na babaji??!!! Ye fir se apni galtiyon ka tokra mere sir pe forna chahte hain!!!"

"What?? Ab ismein meri galti hai agar tumhein sari tie karna nahi aata to??" he said flabbergasted.

Geet makes a face and said "Fine maana ismein aapki galti nahi hai ke mujhe sari tie karna nahi aata, lekin aap ye to maanenge na, ke ye sari aapki galti ki wajah se khuli hai?? Wo dress ka idea aap hi ka tha na??" she said stubbornly.

Maan closes his eyes for a second in frustration... Before he could say something, Geet said "Aur ismein meri koi galti nahi hai, agar mujhe sari tie karna nahi aata to!!"

Maan said sarcastically "Tum bilkul theek keh rahi ho Geet!! Ek ladki ho kar tumhein sari tie karna nahi aata, ismein tumhari koi galti thodi na hai!!"

"Ab ismein ladka-ladki ki baat kahaan se aa gayi? Aur waise bhi, hamaare HP mein, sab suits hi pehante hain!! To mujhe sari pehan-na kahaan se aayega!!! Aur waise bhi, Maa ki death ke baad mujhe koun sari tie karna sikhata??!!"

Maan instantly felt bad for Geet about hearing her mother. He said "I'm sorry Geet! I didn't know about your Mom!! Didn't mean to hurt you!!"

Geet said with a weak smile "Its ok Maan! Mujhe to ab yaad bhi nahi ke Maa kaisi thi!! Ab to mere Darji hi meri maa aur papaji hain!!" she smiled sweetly at him.

Maan looks at her feeling so proud of her!! How can this girl smiles all the time!!! She is so full of life!!!

Geet saw Maan looking at her intensely and thought the conversation was going too serious now!! She never wants to make him sad!! So she said teasingly coming back to the previous topic "Aur waise bhi, aapko pata bhi hai, kitna mushkil hota hai sari tie karna??!!" she said while pouting adorably.

Maan narrows his eyes on her teasing tone "Ji haan! Mujhe pata hai kitna mushkil hota hai!! Sirf kuch pleats hi daalne hote hain, Jo tumhein wo bhi nahi aata!!" he said sarcastically.

Geet frowns at him suspiciously and said "Aap to aise bol rahe hain, jaise aapko sari tie karna aata ho!!"

"Of course!" he said proudly.

Geet looks at him shocked and said "Whattt????!!!!"

Maan looks towards her and said casually "Of course I know how to tie a sari! I'm not like you Geet!!!" he said tauntingly.

Geet said unbelievably "You mean you know how to tie a sari!! Then why didn't you tell me before??? Why are we going home when you knew how to tie a sari??!! Why didn't you help me tie it then??" Geet couldn't believe that he knew how to tie a sari and still he was dragging her back home so that Dadima could fix her sari!!

Maan looks at Geet unbelievably... Does this girl even know what she's saying??!!! How can he tie her sari??!!! Is she really this innocent???!!!!

Geet says with a baby pout "Maan, car rokiye!! Hum kiyun itna lamba chakkar lagaa rahe hain??!! Aapko sari tie karna aata hai to aap kar dijiye na!! Ghar jaane ki kya zaroorat hai?? Aur waise bhi, Mahi aapka intzaar kar rahi hongi!!! Aapki wajah se hum pehle hi late hain!! Ab ghar jaayenge to aur late nahi honge??"

Maan kept on looking ahead on the road and didn't reply. He didn't know what to reply!! How to reply!! This girl is unbelievably innocent to understand anything...

When Geet saw that he isn't stopping the car and didn't reply either, she called him "Maan!!"

But Maan didn't say anything and kept on looking ahead...

Geet tried again, this time a bit louder "Maan!!!"

"Geet I'm not tying your sari...and that's final!! And you don't have to worry about getting late!! I know what I'm doing!! So just sit back quietly!!"

"Ae lo!! Ek to main aapke baare mein soch rahi hoon, aur aap mujhe hi chup baithne ke liye keh rahe hain!!!" and she starts talking to herself "Inka kuch nahi ho sakta!! Arre agar sari baandhni aati hi thi, to pehle hi bata dete na!! Meri to majburi hai, ke mujhe sari tie karni nahi aati, lekin inko to aati hai na!!" she makes a baby face and said "Kab se girti-parti fir rahi thi! Itna bhi nahi ke kuch taras hi khaa lete!!" and she said with baby anger "Lekin nahin!! Maan Singh Khurana aisa kaise kar sakte hain!! Arre unki naak neeche nahi ho jaayegi, agar woh kisi ladki ki sari tie kar denge to!!!" and she said in sarcastic tone "Dekha Babaji!! Ye hain mere favorite hero!!! Dusht-Danav kahin ke!!!" she said making a face.

Of course Maan was hearing all this, but he decided to ignore it!! By now he was getting used to the new name she has given to him!!! And to his utmost horror, he wasn't even getting angry on it!!! On the contrary, he was rather enjoying her talks...

And he stops the car...

Geet thought that he has at last decided to help her tie the sari, and she gets happy. She said happily to herself "Lagta hai Dusht-Danav ko akal aa gayi hai!! Chalo achcha hai!! Ab ghar tak ka chakkar nahi lagaana padega!!!"

She looks at him and said "Achcha hai Maan, aapne apna faisla badal liya!!"

Maan smiles mischievously and signals her to look outside with his eyes.

Geet follows his eyes and looks outside and saw that their car has been parked outside his house!!

Geet was so engrossed in her talks that she hasn't realised that they had reached home!!

She said unbelievably "Hum ghar pohanch bhi gaye??!! Aapki baaton mein pata hi nahi chala Maan, hai na?!"

Maan shakes his head unbelievably...So she's gonna blame him even for talking too much now!!

He gets out of the car and his heart has already started beating too fast because he knows what he has to do now!!!

One part of him was stopping him to take his steps towards her door, while at the same time other part of him wanted to do this!!! It scared him to the core for what he was heading to do... Not because he has to do it, but because he wants to do it!!! He cursed himself mentally million times for wanting to touch her...feel her skin under his hands...

He opened her door while a war of emotions going on inside him... And scooped her up in his arms!!!

Her hands instinctively reached around his neck...

He was again in pain... Her smell was making him insane... He wanted to loose in her fragrance... But he snapped at himself mentally... He cursed her for smelling so good to make him want loose control on himself!!!

His breathing has already become heavy... Her smooth silky skin under his hands was urging him to touch her more...

A part of him was ordering him...cursing him...begging him on his feet...pleading him to feel her more... to allow his hands to fulfill the forbidden desires that was arousing in him... But the other part of him knew he can't do this... He has to control himself!!!!

He was forcefully controlling himself!! His body was way too stiff near her body...

In the process of controlling himself, his hands were getting harsher on Geet's skin... His nails were digging into her skin...

Geet, who was oblivious to his condition, whimpers in pain... And it brought him back to his senses...

He looks around and saw that they have reached inside the house...

But now a new problem arises...

He saw his head-servant Nakul coming towards them!!!

He instantly turns his back on Nakul realising that Nakul would see Geet in this condition and orders loudly in a hoarse voice "Nakul stop!!!" His voice surprised him!! He couldn't believe that this was his voice!! It had way too much authority in it and was threateningly dangerous!!! He could understand the hoarseness was due to his dry throat from controlling his desires, but the dangerous threat that his voice carried was out of his understanding!! But maybe he did understand it, but just don't want to admit it to himself!!! He can't tolerate anybody seeing Geet in this condition!!! But how is this possible??!! He merely knows this girl!!! How can he be so over-protective for her????!!!

Nakul stops scared from Maan.

Maan orders again "Turn your back and don't look this side!!"

Nakul did as told... Maan peeks from his shoulder to make sure that his order has been followed!!

Geet was looking at him awestruck all this time!!! What is he doing??!!!

Maan turns back towards Nakul when he saw his back towards them...

Maan orders again "Nakul, make sure no servant comes out!! And ask Dadima to come to my room urgently!!!"

Maan was about to walk away with Geet still in his arms when Nakul said "But sir, Dadima is not at home! She has gone to her friend's place!!!"

Maan stops in his steps as Nakul's words got registered in him and shock washed through him!!!!!

Precap: Poor Maan! What will he do now??!!!😆😆😆😳

Part 9

"But sir, Dadima is not at home! She has gone to her friend's place!!!"


Maan stops in his steps as Nakul's words got registered in him and shock washed through him!!!!!


He looks at Geet in his arms with horrific expression who was still looking at him with amused expression.. She still didn't understand what he's doing!!


He looks at her waist where the open sari was still hanging... And he realised what he has to do now...and that scared him!!


A part of him has already started thinking that how her soft smooth skin would feel under his touch... While the other part of him was telling him that he can't do this!!!


Her closeness was already affecting him... He didn't know if he was strong enough to control himself if he has to touch her even a bit more!!!


His fingers twitched against her skin to touch her more...his breathing heavy with desire...


He closed his eyes to control himself as he realised what he was thinking!!


He opens his eyes determinedly deciding to take her to the room as soon as possible!! He wants to get away from her skin and her fragrance so desperately...


He has just taken a step when Geet said "Ek minute Maan!!"


Maan stops and looks at her frowning... Here he was...trying to get away from her as soon as he can...and here she was...trying to stop him!!!


He said in a hoarse voice "What now??!!" there was an edge of frustration and anger in his voice.


She ignores his question and looks towards Nakul from top of his shoulder... Nakul was still standing with his back towards them and now was just about to go inside...


"Nakul Bhayiya!!" Geet calls Nakul.


Maan's eyes widens in shock as he realised that what would be the after effects of her calling Nakul and he quickly looks towards Nakul from his shoulders. And he realised he wasn't wrong.


Nakul was just about to turn his face towards them instinctively when Maan said quickly "Nakul stop!! Haven't I asked you not to look this side??!!"


Nakul turns his back again and Maan looks at Geet angrily who was looking at him with amused expression...


All this happened in mere couple of seconds..


He said angrily to Geet "Geet what are you doing??"


Geet makes a baby face at his anger and said "Ab maine kya kiya hai Maan??!! Ab Nakul bhaiya ko bulaane mein bhi aapko problem hai?? Ya aapke ghar mein aisa koi rule hai, ke aapke ilaava Nakul bhayiya ko koi bula nahi sakta??!! Nahi nahi bataa dijiye agar aisa koi rule hai to!! Main Nakul bhaiya ko nahi bulaaoongi!! Kabse dekh rahi hoon, aap kitna ajeeb behave kar rahe hain!! Arre, ab agar mujhe..."


"Ek minute Geet! Ek minute!!" he said frustratingly. "Kitna bolti ho tum!!"


He said sarcastically "I'm sorry jo maine tumse poochh liya!!"


"It's ok!!" Geet said innocently.


Maan looks at her flabbergastedly and rolls his eyes on her and was about to go inside when Geet said again "Ek minute Maan!"


He stops again.


Geet looks at Nakul from top of his shoulder and says curiously while her eyes lightening up in excitement "Nakul bhayiya, khaane mein kya hai??"


Maan looks at Geet unbelievably and says "Geet tumhe khaane ki pari hai!! Yahaan hum itni serious situation mein hain aur tum khaane ke baare mein soch rahi ho??!!"


Geet rolls her eyes on him and says "Maan, normal insaan is waqt mein khaane ke baare mein hi sochte hain!! Aapne time dekha hai?!! 9 baj rahe hain!!! Is waqt zyadatar log dinner hi karte hain! Aapke chakkar mein, maine shaam se kuch bhi nahi khaaya!! Pata hai, mere pet mein ye mote mote choohe dance kar rahe hain!! Aapke bharose rahoongi to pata nahi kab tak bhooka rehna padega!! Khud to pata nahi aap khaana khaate hain bhi ya nahi!! Lekin dusre log to bechaare khaate hain na!! Aapne ek baar bhi mujhse poochha ke Geet, tumhe bhook to nahi lagi?? Aapko kya lagta hai, main lohe ki bani hoon?? Jo main bina khaane ke jeeti hoon!! Waise aapki jaankaari ke liye bata doon, ke mujhe din mein teen baar bhook lagti hai!! Aur main us time mein khaana hi khaati hoon!!"


Maan felt like pulling his hair!!! This girl can seriously talk on anything for hours!! No doubt she gets hungry this often!!! If she'll talk so much then obviously all her energy is gonna used up!!


Maan said "Geet ek minute!!"


And he said towards Nakul "Nakul, ghar mein jitna bhi khaana hai, sab mere room mein bhijwa do!!" and he starts walking towards his room...


Geet realised something and said surprised "Sab bhijwa do??!! Saara khaana kya karenge Maan?! Aapko lagta hai main saara khaana kha jaaoongi??!! Main koi rakshash thodi na hoon, jo main ghar ka saara khaana kha jaaoongi!! Maan aap bhi na!!" and then she realises something and said "Ohh! Aapne apne liye mangwaya hoga! Hai na?? Waise aapko dekhkar lagta to nahi hai ke aap ghar ka saara khaana khaa jaate honge," Maan gives her an almost-angry look and she said faking an artificial smile "Nahi nahi! Mera ye matlab nahi tha ke aap raakshash hain ya aap bohat zyada khaate hain!! Main to bas ye keh rahi thi ke aap itne fit hain, to..." she left it at that and then realises something "Ofcourse!! Aap roz gym jo jaate hain!! Isiliye itne fit hain na!! Tabhi to!! Tabhi to itni aasaani se mujhe god mein utha liya!! Hai na?!" she gives him an artificial smile, but he decided to not reply to her.


By now he has understood that if he'll say even a word, that would mean inviting her endless talks!! Not that he minds her talks, in fact he rather enjoys it, but right now he was in pain! He wanted to put her somewhere so that he can regain his senses back that was still blurred with her touch!!


When Geet saw that he is not replying to her, she looks up and said "Babaji! Main to pehla insaan dekh rahi hoon, jo ghar ka saara khaana ek baar mein kha jaayein!! Bechaare naukar!! Kitna khaana banaate honge ek din mein!! Mujhe to us ladki pe taras aa raha hai, jo inki biwi banegi!! Bechari!! Saara din kitchen mein hi khaana banaane mein nikal jaaya karega!!!" and then she scolds herself "Chee chee Geet, buri baat hai!! Yun kisi ke khaane par nazar nahi lagaate!! Arre to kya hua agar wo thoda zyada khaate hain to?! Sab ki apni apni bhook hoti hai!! Shayad unko thodi zyada bhook lagti hogi!! Hai na? Haan!!"


Maan was hearing all this but he didn't say anything. At last, they reached his room!! For the first time in his life, he felt how far his room was or rather how close his room was!!! A part of him was cursing that he has reached his room so soon and now he has to get away from her!!!


He puts her on the bed a bit reluctantly while a part of him wanted to cling onto her forever!!!


He steps back to breathe in the fresh air to clear his mind from her fragrance...


When he was able to control himself, he said sarcastically "Pehli baat Geet, wo khaana maine apne liye nahi, tumhare liye mangwaya hai!!"


"Itna khaana!!" she said surprised. And before she could say something else, Maan said in a mischievous tone "Wo kya hai na Geet, ab tum itna bolti ho to mujhe laga ke tumhe zyada khaane ki zaroorat parti hogi!! Aakhir energy bhi to kahi se laati hogi na!!" he smirked teasingly.


Geet said innocently "Aapko zaroor koi galat fehmi hui hai Maan!! Main kahaan zyada bolti hoon!!"


"Of course Geet! Main to bhool hi gaya tha, ke tum to bilkul bhi nahi bolti ho!!" he said sarcastically.


Geet says innocently "Wohi to main keh rahi hoon Maan! Main kabhi zyada bolti hoon kya??!! To!!"


Maan rolls his eyes and then says "Aur haan! Tumhe meri biwi ke baare mein fikar karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai!! Main apni biwi ki fikar khud kar sakta hoon!! Don't worry, kitchen mein khaana banane ke liye ghar mein bohat saare naukar hain!! Tumhe khaana banane ki zaroorat nahi padegi!!"


Jazz: OMG!! What did you said Maan???!!!!!!


Maan realised what he has said way after the words had already escaped his mouth!!


Maan (self-thought): 'Maan, ye tumne kya bol diya??!! Kaash Geet ne dhyaan se na suna ho jo maine kaha!! (he peeks towards her to see her expressions). Magar maine aisa kaha hi kiyun??? Geet aur meri bi--(he stops his thought in between and didn't finish the word 'biwi') Nahi Maan!! Control yourself!! This girl is making you loose control over yourself!! Don't let her affect you!! Just remember that she is NOT Sameera!! Yes! This is happening just because she looks like Sameera!!! That's all!!'


Geet has missed what he has said!! Geet was surprised just with his first sentence, that she didn't paid attention that he has indirectly called her his wife!!


Geet said innocently "Magar maine aapki biwi ka naam kab liya Maan??!!"


{Friends, whatever Geet talks to herself and to Babaji, she thinks nobody listens to it!! For her, all those conversations take place in her mind!! So she thinks that she hasn't spoken it out loud!! In her talks she doesn't realise that she is saying everything out loud!!!}


She looks up and says scared "Hey babaji!! Kahin ye mann ki baat to nahi sun sakte??!! Inhe kaise pata ke maine inki biwi ke baare mein kya bola tha??!!"


Maan says sarcastically "Woh isliye Geet, kiyunki tumhare babaji ne mujhe do kaan diye hain, jo sun sakte hain!!"


Geet gets more scared and said "Hey babaji!! Iska matlab ye sach much mann ki baat sun sakte hain??!!! Iska matlab maine ab tak jo bhi apne mann mein kaha, inhone wo sab sun liya!!! Babaji, aap bhi na!!! Arre koi ishara hi kar dete ke inke paas mann ki baat sun-ne ki super power hai, to main wo sab kuch na bolti na!! Maine to inko apne mann mein kya kuch keh diya!! Yahaan tak ki dusht-daanav bhi bola!! Matlab inhone wo sab sun liya??!! Hey babaji! Ye kya soch rahe honge mere baare mein, ke kaisi ladki hai ye!!!"


Maan was listening to her talks and was controlling his smile with great difficulty!! This girl is really a unique piece!!! She really thinks that he has some super-natural power to listen to the thoughts??!!


Geet was still talking to herself "Geet! Bevakoofi wali baatein mat kar!! Wo kaise kisi ke mann ki baat sun sakte hain!! Ye koi film thodi na hai!! Asal zindagi mein logon ke paas supernatural power nahi hoti hai!!! Wo to unhone waise hi tukka maar liya hoga!! Lekin fir bhi ek baar check kar leti hoon!!"


Geet says to Maan "Maan!!"


Maan controls his smile and puts on a straight-face "Hmm?"


Geet asks suspiciously "Aapne abhi abhi kuch suna??"


Maan had a huge urge to laugh at her innocence.


He thought of playing along and tell her that he has a supernatural power to read minds, but then decides otherwise thinking that then she would probably stop those sweet talks of hers... And he loved those talks of hers when she talked to herself or babaji... Those talks were the mirror of her pure heart and innocence!! And he doesn't want to loose those talks at any cost!!!


So he said faking innocence "Nahi to!! Kiyun, tumne kuch kaha kya??!!"


Geet smiles an artificial smile and says "Nahi! Kuch nahi!!" and then takes a sigh and says looking up "Thankyou babaji!! Main to darr hi gayi thi!!! Tu bhi na Geet! Ek number ki jhalli hai!! Kuch bhi sochti hai!!"


But now Maan was thinking of a way out of the situation in front of them!! But somewhere he knew that the destiny has already decided that this problem is gonna at last break on his head only!! Like destiny has already decided that he has to tie her sari!!


Somewhere he was happy that dadima was not home, and that scared him!!


But then he snaps at himself that he is Maan Singh Khurana! He writes his destiny with his own hands!!!


Just at that moment, the door knocks...


He opens the door and see Nakul standing there with the food trolley.


He takes the trolley from Nakul and takes it inside without letting any space between the door and himself... He can't take chances of Nakul even having a glance of the room!!


Nakul was about to go when Maan remembers something and says "Nakul!!"


Nakul stops and looks back at Maan and said "Yes sir?"


Maan asks hopefully "Is there any female servants at home?" But he knew the answer to it before Nakul said anything! He never hires any female servants, that was one of his rule that everyone has to follow while hiring any servants!! But still he wished in his deepest heart that maybe dadima had hired someone...


But all his hopes shattered with Nakul's next words "But sir, you yourself has ordered strictly that there would be no female servants at home! So we never hired any female servants!!"


Maan felt like punching something hard in frustration!!! He curses himself for making such stupid rules!!


He closes the door and goes inside in frustration...


Geet's eyes brightens up seeing him pushing the food trolley and she said excitedly "Khana!!!"


Maan looks at her while deep in thought... He was still thinking some way out of it!!


She quickly picks up the lid of the dishes to see what it is... And to her shock, everything was Italian!!!


The excitement that came on her face before, vanished instantly...


She said making a face "Ye kya hai??!!"


Maan comes out of his trance with her words... He looks at her and then at the food that has vanished the spark from her face and said "What happened?"


She said making a baby face "Ye koi khana hai!!?? Na koi masala na koi namak!! Dekhne mein hi achcha nahi lag raha hai ye to!!"


Maan rolls his eyes and said sternly "Ye mera favourite khana hai!! Is ghar mein hamesha se yehi khana banta aaya hai!! Agar tumhe khana hai, to yehi khao, warna bhooki raho!!" he was already frustrated on his helplessness and she was making it worse for him!!


Geet looks at him and then at the food making a nauseated face...


And then she says looking up "Hey babaji! Ab yehi sab khana reh gaya tha!!! Mujhe to isse dekh kar hi vomit jaisi feeling aa rahi hai!! Main isse kaise khaaoongi!!" and she said angrily "Inhone kabhi atithi devo bhav phrase suna bhi hai kya??!! Guest ke saath koi aisa salook karta hai kya??"


The word 'guest' irked him!! And he realised for the first time that she is here just for today! Tomorrow she's gonna go back!! The very thought hurted him way more than he thought it would or it should.


But his thoughts broke as Geet was still talking to herself "Koi kehta hai kya?! Ke ghar mein yehi banta hai aur tumhe yehi khaana hoga!!! Hamare HP mein agar koi mehmaan aata hai, to hum uski marzi ka khana bana kar khilaate hain!! Par chhado!! Vadda shehar, vaddi baatein!! Chhaddo!!! Hmph!!"


She fills a spoon of pasta and makes a face before putting taking it near her mouth.


But as she was about to put it in her mouth, Maan said "Ruko Geet!!"


Maan felt a pang in his heart seeing her little face!! He was himself surprised at himself that he was thinking about her likes so much!! But then he shakes off the feeling by thinking that he is feeling concerned just because she is his guest, as she said!! And he should take care of the guest's likes and dislikes!! He shakes off the restlessness he felt at the thought of Geet being just a guest!!!


Geet looks at him surprised and he said "What do you want to eat?"


Geet's face again lightens up and she says excitedly "Punjabi khana!!"


Maan smiles at her cute glow that flooded her face and he picks up the intercom and orders the servants to prepare punjabi food asap!!


The servants were very shocked to hear Maan ordering them to make Punjabi food but nobody said anything!!


Geet looks at him happily and he felt so happy to see that happiness on her face...


But Geet's next words broke his little bubble of happiness "Chaliye! Jab tak khana aata hai, tab tak mein hum ye sari baandh lete hain!!"


Maan's gulps down his saliva as he realises that there is no escape now...
