You are the best gift I have received on this forum❤️
.When I started reading the chapter, I could actually feel my heart beat increasing in anticipation of what was going to happen. I was betting between Maan being angry on her, shouting on her and ignoring her presence and going straight to take Dadi's class. I didn't account for the most appropriate option here: him appreciating her beauty and thinking she is his imagination! 😆
Uh-Uh, that attraction will always be his first instinct towards her. That is what probaly what half irritates it. His inability to control it😉
I laughed out loud when he asked Dev how he knew Annapoorna and then addressed the lady herself with this name! Embarrassing situation! 🤣
Definitely!😆 But Annapoorna vanished the moment he heard the name Geet. He hasn't digested the whole thing yet. Just wait.
Maan's habit of presuming things to be tainted with all evil there could be, to judge people depending on this habit, is a bad one, in very simple words. No person deserves this kind of treatment that Maan gave Geet without having a chance to prove what actually he or she is! But if I think about it, there must be some reason why Maan has this negative view of the world. Some past happening, some bad experience. He's, in fact, insecure of any person bonding with his family. The intentions behind the bonding is his main cause of concern. He's worried that the main reason for anyone becoming friendly with his Dadi and Dev is the money they are entitled to. Which is not the case with every single human being out there. But does Maan understand this? No, he doesn't. Somewhere I feel that he's been wronged in the past to become the man he is, hiding behind a mask of arrogance but actually trying to protect himself and his family from any vultures out there which are so common nowadays...
On the other hand, Geet never deserves this brunt of Maan's misconceptions, of all people. All the accusations he hurled at her were not at all her place to be listening to! This is the reason they say never talk about something you don't know. Maan didn't know Geet's unawareness of Dadi and Dev's financial status but he still accused her of being with them for money, he didn't know Geet's physical condition which limited her to pick her daughter up and he accused her of being incapable of handling her own daughter. How brutal it must have been for Geet to stand there and silently listened to all his preconceived notions about her!
Check the answer that I gave to Avi on her post, though that is not the whole answer.😉 I haven't developed his character yet. He is definitely a work in progress
Miri is such an innocent child. Checking Maan's bum to see if he has hidden any tail in there! It made me laugh. 😆 And I so love Dev! He has the guts in him to write down all the bad habits of his brother and show it to his face! Kudos to his himmat! 😃
Kids take everything things at face value. I remmeber taking my neighbor's five year old with me to my auntys house, when I was young. My mom had told me to come home early. But they were playing a movie at my aunt's that I had been wanting to watch. So we watched it and on the way home I told the kid not to tell my mom that we'd watched a movie. Guess what, he did exactly that. Came home, went straight to my mom and with a big grin on his face told her that we had not watched any movie.😆
As for Dev he is a old man trapped in young body. 😆
He is not scared of his brother...much. He is confident, however of his brother's love for him and so is Dadi. That is why she left him alone to face the situation.
So Dadi escaped the situation out of a habit she has formed over the past five years. But I love the fact that she's making the intense situation into a fun thing. The song that she enjoyed! 😆
The last dialogue of Dadi immediately reminded me of the outhouse episode where she makes Maan realise his mistake of going too far with his words for Geet. I hope she gives an earful to her not-so-gentlemanly grandson! 😃
Lastly, there was no narrative. But don't let me complain because the chapter was long enough! 😊
The above paragraph is a narrative just for you.
EDIT: A special mention to the picture you posted in the chapter. I've always loved this scene, the way he holds his finger up and I've saved it in my library! 😳
I am lazy at finding pictures and adding them. I can never find suitable ones to suit the situation. But that one I thought was perfect😃
