Armaan looked away n that's when geet spoke breaking the silence ..
Geet : acha maan pehle hum dono ko apna new apartment tou dekhao .. hai na armaan ..pata chala yeh janab phir ghayab hugaye aur hum phir poore delhi mien inko dhundh rahe hain ..
Armaan : nahi mujhe nahi jana ..
Geet : maan ..(eyed him to say to armaan)
Maan (reluctant) : umm ..abb geet wohh nahi araha tou ..hum kal subha chalet hain na .. teeno saath ...
aur dekho raat bhi hone wali hai chalo mien tumhain ghar drop karta hoon ..
Geet : nahi hum aapke apartment jaa rahe hain ...(maan tried to interrupt but geet stopped him) n that's final ..(taking armaan s hand she dragged him out of the building shouting for maan) ..
N called her home ..
Geet : (bebe) ..mere liye dinner par wait mat karna ..ill be late ...(after a pause)... don't worry mien ajaongi time par .. trust me .. acha bye ..
Followed by a reluctant maan n armaan geet reached the apartment which was not so well ..it was actually a chawl maan was going to live in a one bedroom apartment having a really small hall n a kitchen n a washroom .. that too in a mess all dusty .. untidy .. geet scanned the whole house once ...while armaan tripped on an empty bear bottle ...n maan stood at the door wondering what will be geet's reaction he knew the state of the house n that's y wanted to clean it first be4 geet could see it but ziddi her ..
Maan (coming forward with a bit embarrassed tone) : umm .. clean karne baad yeh thora better hu sakta hai ..i mean ...woh..
Geet (turned back with an amused look) : aur iss ko clean karega kuan ...tum ..?? (maan nodded with an innocent baby face) Mr. Maan Singh Khurana apko yaad hai last apne apna ROOM kab saaf kiya tha ..?? (maan stood thinking poor soul could only see flashes of his messed up room while geet smiled at his expression very well know him .. a person who can't even reach university on time how will he manage his room ..)
Going ahead she gathered her opened hair n pinned it in a bun ... while maan n armaan stood bit confused .. seeing her covering first her face with her dupatta than her head ..n finally she looked back at the weirdos standing still lifting her eye brows ...
Geet (with covered face only eyes visible) : what ...chalo safai start karo ...ya fir sab mujhe hi karna huga ...
Maan stood still while armaan shook his ahead pushing him a side made his way to help her cursing him ..
Armaan : bade aye khud sab karenge ...sho away moron ..
Maan smiled at his angry friend still ready to help him finally trio started cleaning up the house ...thank fully thr were some damaged furniture atleast .. firstly geet cleaned all the dust from the furniture than maan-armaan put them outside ..n geet started removing the webs from the walls n armaan n maan as well helped her .. doing up the dusting geet saw some cartons with few cotton material checking them it were some old curtains ..
Geet : yeh ..
Maan : land lady ne kaha they are old stuff I can use them ...but guess they are of no use .. y were u even saying to keep those furniture ..
Geet shock her head ..n went in the washroom n came out screaming making maan n armaan worried n collided with maan while running back in fear ..
Maan (hugging her tight) : kya huya geet ...bolo ...
Geet (hid her face in his chest fearing) : wohh ...wohh cockcroach .
Maan n armaan laughed while geet looked up pouting n went away in anger while armaan went to washroom to hunt down the biggest fear of Geet Handa while maan on mission manofy mishty ...
Maan (holding his ears cutely pouting with a baby face) : acha na baba sorry I wont laugh at u ever again ..promise ..plss chalo ..
Armaan (came back having cockcroach in his hand) : han bhabi ji .. bilkul nahi hasse ga yeh duffer ... aur yeh cockcroach ..iss ko tou mene maar hi diya dekho ..
Geet jumped back ...armaan went down to bin the cockcroach while maan stood wondering if she was still angry but our geet was still lost in the moment when armaan addressed her as BHABI ...!! The feeling was so beautiful ...tickling her senses ... the sense of belonging to her maan was the most serene one ever ...
Smiling she went in the washroom cleaning the web ..from the walls finally washed the water bucket ..filling water but it was broken ..water spilled on the floor n both maaneet slipped then balanced each other be4 falling on the ground ..maan's hand on her waist while she rested her hand on his shoulder clutching it tightly ..
thr eyes locked ...the moment felt at pause .. just them with thr love sorrouding them ...lost in the moment the stood thr eyes locked .. feeling them ever so close ..lost in each other ..
when armaan came coughing ..straightening them they looked away smiling bit blushing .. n armaan went away to get something ...n came back getting a drum from the kitchen ..
Armaan : u can use this 4 storing water ..
Geet (smiling) : thnxx ...maan who curtains lekar aoge carton mien se ...(maan came back getting them n geet dipped them in water after jerking the dust off it ).. hugaya ..chalo bas abb kal subha inko pani se nikal kar bahar railing par daal dena ..okiee
They all went to kitchen first empting the whole material n waiste from thr they cleaned it then put the undamaged grossery thr n set it as much as she could ..
Finally setting the damaged furniture back in the house both guys felt on the already broken sofa set with thud ... tired geet smiled at thr plight no wonder maan never had done this much of work in a single day ever in his life ...
Geet washed her face with water n took maan's wallet placed in one corner grabing a 500 rupees note she went down the chawl .. getting some bread n butter n egg ..she came back ..
Maan : geet kahan chali gayi thi tum ..
Geet : kahin nahi aap log betho mien aati hoon kuch khane ko lekar aati hoon ..
Maan (confused) : but khane ko tou kuch hai hi nahi ...(geet grinned n showed him the shopper)
Geet : aapke wallet se 500 rupees mene churaa liye ..(went away grining winking at him)
She came back with omelet n bread ...stood in front of maan n armaan who were sitting in the broken sofa with closed eyes n now opened smelling the cheese omelet ..
Geet (with a baby tone) : meri jaga ..??
Maan n armaan made place for her in the middle while she sat in b/w both n trio eat like they haven't aet since ages ... in b/w an old lady from neighborhood came knocking in ..all stood up confused n she introduced herself ..
Lady : mien asha tai .. barabar wali kholi meri hai ... tum log ko kafi dair se saaf safaii karte dekh rahi hoon ..koi samaan nahi laye tum log ..yeh ek faltu mattress para tha mere paas ..tum log rakhna chaho tou leloo ..
Geet (went ahead smiling n bent down to take her blessing) : namaste tai .. mien geet hoon ..madad ke liye thank u .. (Armaan took the bed while maan also came forward taking her blessings) .. mien maan ..thank u wohh bed ke liye ..yeh mera friend hai Armaan ..
Tai : khush raho ...tum dono ki shaddi hugayi ..??
Both stood bit confused what to answer ...actually thr is yet no name to thr relation but now it really doesn't require of all this .. thr relation is way beyond all this .. n finally maan said with a smile ..
Maan : nahi tai abhi nahi ...par jald hi hujayegi ...(tai smiled seeing the blush that spread across geet's face)
Armaan came back putting the bed in the room ..n said ..
Armaan ; maan late hugaya hai .. I should leave .. umm geet ko mien hi drop kar deta hoon mere ghar se 30 min ki traveling hai ... tu jayega tou buhat time lagega ..
Tai : mien bhi chalti hoon .. raat hugayi hai ... kuch kaam hu tou mujhe bola lena ..mien akeli hi rehto hoon yahan ..mera beta tou bahar hai ..theek hai ..khayaal rakhna apna ..
Geet (nodded with a smile) : ji tai ..thank u ..
Maan ; armaan its fine geet ko mien chor donga ..
Geet : nahi maan armaan theek keh raha hai ... aapko buhat travel karna parega mien chali jaongi .
Maan : but geet ... (armaan went down sensing the love birds need to have a chat he didn't wanted to be a kabab mien haddi) ..
Armaan : umm ...wohh ...han ...mien car start karta hoon ...tum aajana geet ...
Geet went ahead when maan stopped her holding her wrist ..
n she turned back .. while he came ahead n hugged her tight .. his happiness the love everything he couldn't put in words were expressed in that one hug which she reciprocated with full authority n love ..
Maan : thnxx geet ..thnxx for everything ,...u were right dad se ziada khush koi nahi hu sakta tha meri pehli salary dekh kar .. the moment I actually saw that proud look in his eyes geet ... for the first time ever I felt good for my own self geet ..mujhe uss khushi ko humesha unki ankhoon mien dekhna hai ..
Geet (Smiled in the hug finally knowing maan has realized his responsibilities she didn't wanted anything more) : rahegi maan .. I am sure aap yeh zaror karenge ..
Maan (tightened his hold over her back almost crushing her) : tum humesha rahogi na mere saath ..
Geet (parted from the hug cupping his face in her palm) : humesha maan ...aaj ke baad har kadam har mor par geet apne maan ke saath rahegi ...I promise u ..
Maan's heart swell with so much of happiness .. the smile didn't seem to fade even an inch ..the small place he had to live in did bothered him initially but now that she has done it so well with all her love ...this is the most beautiful apartment in the world for him ... the love he saw in her eyes was all he could ever wish for ... he hugged her again saying I LOVE U Geet till the umpth time .. n finally geet said armaan must be waiting ..halfheartedly they both parted n geet traced her hand over the length of his hand leaving it
n went out ..meeting armaan outside the chawl ..
Maan was standing in the corridor of the chowl watching her leaving .. while she stopped n looked back .. gesturing him to go n sleep ... maan smiled mouthing I love u ...she turned with her eyes mist seeing the whole place this was defo not THE Maan Khurana's choice ..
for the first time ever she was regretting to have asked maan for doing this all ..but then seeing the questioning eyes of armaan she removed her tears n went away with a smile
But this whole scene was witnessed by a pair of eyes ..YASH KHURANA .. the moment armaan told him about maan being missing ...while searching for him earlier he started searching for him n finally somehow reached here .. n saw geet-maan-armaan doing up his house n couldn't help but to look at his son working ...the person who nevr even took a single glass of water by himself was actually cleaning such a dusty place .. he was actually really serious towards his goal ..
Yash (st) : I am proud of u my son ... maan'na parega meri Bahu sach mien poori dunya mien chun kar dhundi hai Maan .. acha hi hai (with a teary smile) .. seedha kar ke rakhegi tumhain ..
N went away smiling .. blessing his son ...

HANDA HOUSE ..
Geet reached thr exhausted .. it was nearly 10:30 in night to her luck no one was thr in the hall ..stepping in silently she was going in her room upstairs when her dadi maa (Babe) stopped her with a questioning gaze ..
Babe : geet tu janti hai na tu yeh kya kar rahi hai ..Mohinder ne abhi bhi iss shaddi ke liye han nahi ki hai ..
Geet : aap jo pouchna chahti hain mien samajh rahi hoon bebe .. bas itna keh sakti hoon agar mujh par aur maan par bharosa nahi hu raha tou kam se kam apni itne saloon ki di huyi parwarish par vishvaash rakhiye ..
Aur jahan tak baat shaddi ki hai ..tou agni ke 7 phere lena hi sirf shaddi nahi hota bebe .. dil se unn wadoon ko nibhana bhi parta hai .. aur mien aur maan tou aaj bhi un wadoon ko nibha rahe hain .. maan ko mien who darja buhat pehle de chuki hoon bebe .. bas abb tou sirf uss din ka intezar hai jab iss rishtey ko dad ka ashirvaad aur ek naam milega ..
Bebe (placed her hand on geet's head) : tu khush rahe betiya mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye ..bas itna yaad rakhna ke iss parivaar ki izzat tumhare hathon mien hai ..apni papa ko kabhi ruswa mat karna ..
Bebe went away sighing not sure what to say after what she saw in geet's eyes ..a strange kind of deewangi ... like she has been carrying that love with her in her existence ... after the death of her mother ...she has seen her son loosing faith in love ...for him love is nothing but a synonym to pain ...she remember the initial days after rano's death ...mohinder was totlly numb ..if not for geet ..he would have lost himself in grief ...n today she is seeing that same love n madeness in geet's eyes ... she don't want geet to loose her love fearing she will also react the same way her father once did n she somehow knew thr would be no way they could get her back from that grief but at the same time she didn't wanted her to go against his father for she know mohinder won't be able to take it ...geet is all he live for ...his sole reason to breath is his daughter ...n he simply don't believe Khuranas enough to give his daughter in that house forever ..n being his mom she know he will try his best to stop geet ...
All she wish was to see her children happy ... but this dangerous game of destiny ...she didn't knew where they all will end up ...she knew geet n mohinder enough ...if they believe something is right they won't back out on it no matter what ...she just fears the day when geet will be standing against her own dad for her love ...she fears the worst ..
Muhabbat agar dushman se hujaye tu hum kya kare
Nibhana hai mushkil hum jaante hain
Par agar kisi ko kaantoon par chalne mien hi maza aaye tu hum kya kare
Lambi hai jung hum jaante hain
Par zamane kea age jhukna aaye hi na tu hum kya kare
Pyaar kiya hai hum yeh jaante hain
Iss pyaar ko nibhate nibhate ishaqzaade khelaaye tu hum kya kare ..!!
