CHAPTER 3

NOTE: No Proofreading or editing done. Please excuse for the mistakes.(Check the below P.S note - don't ignore)

Meera dragged geet inside the fully packed coffee hut by black coat Barristers. Coffee hut (CH) managed to seem upscale and fun dive place that every lawyer everywhere had hung out in when they were in Law College.There's a wide space inside CH which was modernized with lawyer touch i.e., black and white, central area surrounded by black and white squared shape tables lining the walls. A mild music from FM was playing at background.

Meera and Geet passed a table surrounded by prosecutors laughing, discussing about their cases and drinking coffee walking through the crowd. After a week in the criminal justice system, laughing and drinking were necessary components for maintaining one's sanity.

Both meera and geet had almost passed the prosecutors table but they stopped when they heard Devansh calling out for them. "Hey Meera..Over hear..!" making space at table for them to sit. Meera & geet paused a moment and moved in closer to them. Geet's voice struck in her throat when she saw maan sitting there leaning back in his chair with his black coat off, his sleeves rolled u and his lawyer tie and collar loose. Geet's stomach started the contractions when she watched his arm muscles flexing every time he lift coffee cup to his mouth. His mouth again geet's lost in her own world while looking at that sexiest mouth she ever seen. The sight of him couldn't be explained..geet thought it's a sight of million bucks...baby.

"Hello Miss. I-am-always-Right (Geet) ..Hello Miss.Attitude(Meera) .. What you two are doing here" Dev asked them.

"Hello, Mr. I-am-so-cool(Dev)... kya hain na hamey hey kabar mili ki yaha aam bechrahey hain isiliye aam karidney aaye hain.." meera said innocently while geet keep on staring at maan.

"Waise..Aap logon mainse kaun hain aam ki Aadmi.." Meera asked in playful tone.

Suddenly Dev stood up and replied meera in shaharukh khan's signature pose " Hum tho hamesha se aapki aadmi thy mashooqa ..aam ya no aam...aur hey dilwale dev apni iss dhulhan ko leykarhi jayenga.." everyone laughed at the table and few of them sitting at other tables making geet snap out of her drooling session. When geet saw maan was also looking at her as if he is undressing her in his eyes.

To hide her embarrassment geet immediately looked at dev while trying not to look at gawking maan "Oye! Delhi ke dhulye raja..hey dil itna bhi pagal nahi ki main tujaise aawara -gunday se shadi karloon"Meera replied while taking seat next to dev leaving geet a seat next to maan.

Geet took seat which was next to maan hesitatingly. Maan was observing geet since she has stepped inside the CH(coffee hut). Geet was so anxious sitting beside maan especially when he is looking at her like, she is his favourite meal. Anytime she might fall into his lap and kiss him hard like he never before kissed by anyone. To distract herself from grabbing maan, geet turned her attention at dev who was busy at arguing with meera. Geet sat as far as she can from maan smacking mentally not to make contact with any of his body parts.

Geet thought Dev was also a very handsome guy but in a different way than Mr. Khurana -err Maan. Maan was a Platinum boy but Dev had this dark good looks - dark hair, black eyes, and always just a touch of five o'clock shadow. He has all those qualities a handsome guy can have; He was one of those guys who always looked like he may have come directly to work from some woman's bed and in dev's case that was a definite possibility. Dev is funny and have this witty side of him. Yet she is not attracted to him. Geet knew the answer to her question; Maan is enigmatic where as dev is funny, Maan is a mystery where as dev is open book. She would love to solve this mystery. Maan has this aura to make her heart beat like drummer in a band set. Geet was still giving points in her head to dev and maan, to which the winner is oblivious maan. Geet said "Sorry? What did you say? "..Meera laughed inside knowing exactly what geet might have thinking close to maan. Dev again repeated his question. "How do you deal with her mouth..?" dev asked pointing at meera frustration. "err...Dev wrong question...I am not lesbian" geet replied wittily while giving HI5 to meera and everybody at the table laughed at his stupid question.

"well not bad geet..tumhari jubaan tho bahut thej chalthi hain ek churi ki tarha.." Dev said with a laugh, looking over at maan. A bunch of prosecutors; their colleagues paused their pleasantries to pay attention to this little exchange. They all have the same question in their mind, how these two attractive public defender women sat close to these two notorious men. That didn't happen every day. It was like one of those scenes from an animal plant wildlife documentary. You know when the dear comes to the bank of river to drink water right next to the pride of hungry lions.

"Churi?..you mean knife... huh?" Geet decided that now it's perfect time to start her hands on some flirting as meera taught geet how to initiate a flirting conversation. Geet's confidence meter was levelling up.

"What do you think of my mouth, Maan?" geet asked maan out of blue, turning to him. Geet managed to sound calm and bit playful with small miracle. Geet thought, Her babajee is definitely with her at the moment and obviously smiling down on her. Because before coming to CH, geet had bribed gajar ki halwa and mooli ke parate to her babajee in exchange of asking to be with her side today as she is going to try something which she never dreamed of.

"Sweet...hot and saucy..I rather like it" rather surprised maan answered with a flirtatious smile, as his eyes instantly dropped to her lips while giving hot look. Babajee..help me..don't let me faint. Maan said this time in a practiced way that probably had women throwing themselves at him left and right under other circumstances.

Geet heard some laughter followed by claps-whistles and there were a few comments from his friends that she didn't quite catch, probably for the best she didn't heard them properly. A song from race film, zara zara touch me touch me song was playing in background on FM and it helped to set the saucy mood.

"There you go..Mr. Avasti.." geet said as she walked over to stand right in front of dev and leaned down slowly looking at him directly in the eye leaving only few inches space between their faces. "Yahan kuch aise mard bhi hain jo meri jubaan ko sambal sakthey hain.." meera let out a startled laugh who was sitting beside geet.

Geet stood up, smiled and started to walk away. After a second of stunned silence their table erupted into laughter. Wow, meri jubhaan such main ek tej churi ki tarah chalthi hain...hain na?? babjee gajar ki halwa ke saat saat aaapko main rasmalai bhi khilahungi...geet said thousand thanks to her babajee for keeping her laaj and not making her to faint in front of 100+ lawyers..Geet was several feet away when she heard maan call out her name and her heart slammed into her chest wall like a fire engine bell.

"Hey Miss. Handa ! " geet turned around and raised an eyebrow asking like what now?. maan gave a devastatingly sexy smile and then said loudly enough to be heard by everyone present in the Coffee hut,

Maan said with devilish smirk over his face "I can handle your sharp tongue too!" More hysteric laughter echoed around him and geet felt like she is been pulled down deep and somehow she found courage that could only be developed after four years in law college of exposure to the sadists who enjoyed destroying self-confidence i.e, law professors.

Geet called back loudly with confidence "Mr. Khurana...I must warn you to behave or else I'll have to make you prove it!" still smiling as if she still had ball in her court and then geet turned back around and kept walking to the table where her colleagues, Public defenders were seated. Meera jumped from her seat and walked over to the table and sat beside geet's chair where now geet has occupied... Miracle..!! She didn't trip over anything. Geet was still shaking with lots of adrenalin crunching inside.

"Is that a challenge Miss.Handa?"Maan shouted over from his table making geet to turn around.

"Jaise aap samje..Mr.Khurana"geet said with a confidence smile on face.

Geet thanked her babajee and doubled her bribe.. luckily That one went over very well at the prosecutor's table. Geet thought for a minute that they were going to either give her a standing ovation or start shoving money into her stylish yet sensible suit coat and skirt for challenging Mr.Maan Singh Khurana. meera looked over at her with an stunned expression.

"Who are you ? and what you have done to my sweet-innocent Geet Handa.. ?" meera shirked with utter delight.

Geet left out a sigh breath "So,...how was it...kind of cool.. hian na?"

"Kind of? Girl...That gets at least an 5 out of 5 rating,"

Meera giggled and looked up see Yash waving at them across the balcony where he was sitting with some mentors.

"Hey Meera..Hey Geet!" yash had obviously heard that little exchange because he was looking over at their table and laughing with obvious surprise. But then most of the crowd had probably heard it. meera and geet stoop up and headed over to join yash at his table.

"Looks like you too were having fun?" yash asked while ordering coffee to them.

"you can say it...! It's really one of the most awaited moment of Geet's life" Meera answered while looking at geet giving a slightly bewildered look.

"Have some coffee...and start over from beginning..," yash said when a waiter placed coffee mugs with cheese balls on table.

"So, what's this about maan and your tongue, Geet?" yash asked again while sipping at his coffee watching her curiously.

Geet said with cutely pouting "Woh! Sab mujhe chidarahey the...aur maine bhi tit for tat karrahi thi... I just teased back a little..that's all" geet said taking a sip from mug.

Yash wasn't satisfied with geet's version of story. When he saw meera with a questioning look, meera told him about their little back and forth exchange and yash laughed again and looked at geet, like he didn't recognize her at all and he was trying to figure out who she was actually...

" but seriously...geet...tujmain ittni himat kaha se aayi jo Maan singh khurana ko challenge kiya tune...? " yash asked still smiling.

All geet did is just to pout like a small child. Geet felt uncomfortable and had this feeling that someone is staring at her and she knew better not to look at him.

"So..Miss.Handa has grown up enough to flirt with maan, huh?"he asked, sounding both amused and surprised.

"I wasn't flirting..." geet replied with embarrassment while trying to hide her blush when her eyes met with maan's for a brief until a man stood in front of maan blocking his view.

"Oh no..! she was totally flirting with him.." meera claimed stubbornly giving geet-don't-you-dare-to-lie and admiring look. Geet could just tell that meera was so proud of her. Why wouldn't she, after all her lessons didn't go in vain. Yash looked back over at the other table. They weren't viewable to geet side as the table beside theirs is now filled up blocking them totally and geet didn't want to turn and look directly at them but yash seemed to be sharing some kind of unspoken communication with someone over there. Geet saw yash nod and shrug at prosecutor's table. She wished that she knew what they were saying to each other. Geet took a deep breath and sat there for a second to let what she had just done sink in and she started to panic...

Babajee...hey maine kya krdiya...iss meera ki bacchii ke bhathon main aakhey maine soothey huwey sher ki moo main apna haat ke bajei ...directly apni iss sir ko hi andar gusadiyan...hay..babajee..maine tho aapko kush karne keliye double bribe dene ki promise kit hi...ab tho meri shradh hokar rahegi...geet said while looking up sabb aapki kiya karaya huwa hain...javo main nahi dhungi gajar ke halwa aur rasmalai...

Geet was still at denial that she actually pulled it off! Thats it...she had flirted with Maan Singh Khurana. A Geek girl had flirted with gorgeous boy..The supreme court jugde's son, this news definitely can become a sensational news in media. Media? Media? ..oh! God what she had done..if this news falls into media's ears what story they will cook she can predicate it..Geet being youngest daughter of Handa's always maintained low profile coz of privacy. Geet didn't like such kind of attention from people and media like her sissy Sargam, unlike geet, sargam always loved attention from others. Except Meera, no one knows the real family background of geet except deputy general attorney. Even Dev, Maan and yash thinks that geet has some decent background with decent middle class fmily. Coz geet never behaved like a spoilt brat being studied in one of the best schools in London. And when geet's thoughts disturbed by dev's laughter, her eyes fell on maan, who was looking at his cell still smiling.

The man who have his own fan club among the members of the Women's Lawyer Association. geet felt mad, bad and dangerous to know...and even jealous too! Geet though she might never actually get to go out with this incredibly hot man but for one brief moment, geet felt proud on self and felt she was the sexy confident woman alive in this room at the moment. Geet felt like dance on table and shout out the victory of success at flirting with the Great maan singh Khurana.

Geet wanted to celebrate her victory and ordered her usual hot chocolate espresso with 4 sugar cubes tops in full josh. Now that the adrenaline was hitting her full force, she was feeling a lot of nervous tension and without really thinking about it she downed the hot chocolate mug in one go. Not long after she finished her hot chocolate, her cell beeped a message tone. Geet took out her cell from her coat pocket lazily while still drinking at the hot chocolate. And suddenly geet spit back her hot chocolate into her mug with a bewildered look plastered over her face. Geet looked down at the cell's screen and read and re-read it while she waited shifting her weight back and forth impatiently. Geet was giving a look at her cell as if she is holding a python in her hands. Finally geet mustered some courage and decided to open the text message."Miss.Handa I've never seen you this daring and witty before. Are you sure you not under the influence of drugs or something? ...Sincerely, Maan Singh Khurana, Public Prosecutor"

Aye aye! Babajee...hey maan bhi na kya kya anaab shanaab bakkrahey hain...two seconds later..geet saw the text again and said...nahi nahi likkey huwey hain...Oh great! Just great... He thought that I under influence of drugs...! too mmuch brilliancy for hot and sexy... geet showed the text to meera and yash who found it funny rather highly entertaining. Yash just looked up at their table and laughed out loudly gaining attention from few other spectators. Yash thought he saw something ho-so-sexy...and he asked geet to show the text once again...when yash saw the name and started laughing while holding his stomach in one hand and another one has gripping the table tightly not to fall off from his chair. Geet asked them what she will reply...to that both shrugged their shoulders told her whatever she likes...letting her to decide what to reply on her own. With shaky hands geet typed on her message pad.

"Mr.Khurana, how did you get my number? As for as I remember, we never exchanged number before. By the way, you've never seen me outside of courtroom before. Are you implying that I am under influence of drugs or something? And behaving disorderly manner? ...Regards, Geet Handa, Public Defender"

Just then another group of public defenders from geet's office came pouring through the door. Geet heard someone called out to inform them one of their colleagues had won the case and it was time to celebrate. Geet looked up when she heard laughter coming from Maan's table and at the same time suddenly her cell beeped indicating geet that reply has arrived from maan.

After 5 minutes later, geet's cell again beeped indicating that message has arrived from maan. Geet was eagerly waiting for the reply with her fingers crossed; her heart was beating in supersonic speed. "hmm I can ask you the same question miss. Handa... well I assure you that I am making no such implication. In fact, I like the way you're behaving very much. I'm intrigued by your threat to make me prove that I can handle your tongue. I must confess it makes me want to misbehave...Best, Maan Singh Khurana, Public Prosecutor"

Aaye! Babajee! Abb main kaya karungi.. maan tho mere saath flirt karrahey hain... big time! Now what? geet hadn't planned this far ahead. Actually, she hadn't planned at all. "Congratulations," meera congratulated the lawyer (PD) who has won the case and drank her iced tea.

After thinking for few minutes, finally geet came up with something to reply. "I wouldn't want to be responsible for encouraging a responsible lawyer of the court to misbehave in public. That might actually be punishable crime; among other things Mr.Khurana...Yours Truly, Geet Handa, Public Defender"

Geet heard more laughter and comments that she couldn't make out what exactly going on the other side of the table to her response. Her head was starting to feel a little fuzzy due to the too much consumption of chocolate and coffee. God..! she needs to do extra workout to shed extra calories... meera and yash were just watching me with amused expression on their faces. A few minutes later geet received a reply from maan "Would you like to encourage me to misbehave with you more privately Miss.Handa?..Warmly, Maan Singh Khurana, Public Prosecutor."

Geet's mouth went dry and she almost fell out of her chair but she had a feeling that people were watching her reaction closely. She was careful not to get all flustered and to blush hard. Meera glanced over and quickly did a double check when she read that.

"What?!" meera exclaimed asking about the meaning of the text. "iska kya matlab...hey poochraha hain ya bataraha hain?" meera asked yash.

"Huh..!!1. ha ha ha ha," yash began laughing out loud. "I think he is ready to accept the challenge but is geet ready to face the consequences" looking at flustered face.

Babajee...hey kya hogaya...! hey maine kya maangliya ...jo main chahathi thi waise hi horaha hain..kuch jaada bribe hogya...kya?.The flirtation thing had worked a bit well. Although geet's is still hesitant about his reputation when it comes to hook up with girls and his one night thing.

At the moment, the tiny little piece of her brain was warning her that having a one night stand with the prosecutor who she face regularly in court, and was insanely in love... Maybe not a good idea, but her heart beats are telling another tale.

Meera's words brought geet back to reality knocking some sense into her webbed mind "Yash! Geet sirf flirt karrahi thi... not trying to pick him up. If maan is interested in her let him ask her out on a date. You know, a date? Where two people talk-eat-walk and get know each other better" meera intentionally ignored the sleeping and bed part.

At that moment Geet just admired meera more and wanted to be just like her when she grew up... Then meera turned to geet.. "Geet sweety...you tell him that he doesn't get to misbehave with you unless he at least takes you out to dinner first..." That sounded like a good response. It even sounded corny. Babajee...aaj aap mere upar itne daya kaise aarahi hain.. geet was feeling courageous and confidence oozing out from her. Geet felt proud of her confidence.. yes I can do it...I will do it...smiling geet replied him back with a confident smile on face.. "If you want to misbehave with me, you'll have to take me out to dinner first Mr.Khurana...Respectfully, Geet Handa, Public Defender"

"Mujhe bahut jald summons milnewali hain.." yash said as they watched maan reading geet text on his cell. "So geet...you're saying that you're not interested in just hooking up with maan but you would be interested in dating him?" yash asked geet observing her reaction closely.

"I never seen him dating except you know..Hooking up with other girls and...and ..." geet was embarrassed to say the word screw them.

"Yeah ..Right..but he is not the same maan anymore...he has changed a lot in these 8 months...something changed him...or someone I don't know what or who...I never seen him with any girl in these past 8 months... he was so pinned on that mystery girl...we tried to know who might be that girl is...but he never let out any information about that girl...we were kind of worried about him becoming another devdas...but thank god he is back to self once again...now I kind of get the feeling he may be a little more interested in you...geet.." yash replied.

"suna? I told you so.. All the time he stares at you..in courtroom..in office..in cafeteria..." meera smirked in triumph to which yash glanced at her with amusement.

Yash's eyes widened when he realized something "It was you...it was you all the way you...yes ..yes ... OMG...geet..it was you...you are the mystery girl ...maan is crazy about...you are the girl he is so smitten over...you are the girl behind this changed maan...he has totally changed in these past 8 months geet... in fact jab bhi hum sabb boys night out keliye bahar jathethey tho he was so fun loving & enthusiastic to be there...but nowadays his mind is somewhere else when he is physically present with us...we all friends knew that it's about that mystery girl. But we had no idea it was you ...abb maja ayega..." geet's small brain already over flowing with so many information and she couldn't comprehend what was all that yash was blabbering...mystery girl? ...it was you...always you?

Both meera and geet said at a time " What?"

Before yash could say anything meera said when she saw dev wavering his hand at yash "Yash...I think dev is trying to get your attention.." geet had glanced over quickly and saw that dev was grinning at them and gesturing for yash to join them.

Maan seemed deep in thought but he was also looking at her. Geet's tummy fluttered doubling the nervousness within her after learning the new information about maan.

"See you later ladies...I have been summoned already" saying this yash walked towards maan & dev's table where they were sitted. Geet didn't wanted yash to leave them alone. When he left geet leaned across the table near meera,

"Meera do you really think whatever yash said about Mr. Khurana is true?"

To that meera replied while looking at them "Anything's possible geet, Take off your coat" confused geet asked again.

"What? But Why? The air conditioning temperature is perfectly fine in here..and I am not feeling hot"

Meera said gritting her teeth "Geet .. Just do what I say..you wanted to know whatever yash said is true or not right...? So I want to show you maan's reaction to whatever I am going to tell you to do..tumhari lawyer brain use karna bandh kar and do just as what i say...trust me on this geet"

Without another word geet slid her coat off, hanging it on the back of her chair. She was a little self-conscious because the white sleeveless shirt she had on underneath was snug and it made her curves look more prominent. Slowly her self-consciousness started to diminish.

"Meera, everyone is staring at me.. " geet said to meera nerveously when she saw most of them were gawking at her without blinking and some with their mouth hanging open.

Geet never took off her coat in courtroom or in cafeteria ever.

"See I told you...geet..you are one hot chick ...and anyone could kill for you...and I want to show you that maan didn't go missed but to be affected by your charm..."

"Meera...what if I am not his mystery girl ...the girl he is so pinned on...and what if he just want a distraction for time being"

"Then he is one big asshole...who is blind to see what a jem you are ...stop your what ifs ...now let your hair down."

Shocked geet asked her "What?".. "Geet stop asking questions...do as what i say..please just trust me on this..."

Geet sighed and reached up to do it. It felt good to take her wild dark brown curly hair down out of its elastic band and geet shook it out and let it fall freely down her back and over her shoulders. Then she ran her hands through it to straightening it out a little. Babajee kahi hey meera meri vashra haran tho nahi karvana chahathi hain? ...agar aisa huwa tho please aap krishan jee ki tara..bachalenge na..mujhe? hmm?

At last geet asked.."Anything else ma'm?" "Nope. That will do," meera said with a smirk. All the while meera has kept one eye on maan to observe his reaction towards geet's seduction. Then meera said while controlling her widening smile.."I think he's adjusting himself under the table." geet noticed that at the angle she was sitting she could see the other table out of the corner of her eye. Maan actually feeling restless and glaring at every men in the coffee hut who were gawking at me.

"Maan? He was watching me do all this?...from taking off my coat to releasing my hair"

"aur nahi tho kya...tum ittni hot jo ho... Now that he has announced that he's man enough to handle your mouth he's barely looked anywhere else... other than he wants to smack every guy in this room who is undressing you in their eyes...He probably wants to throw you over his shoulder like a caveman, take you somewhere else away from this crowd and have his wicked ways with you and probably he can make you see God" meera said winking at geet, to which geet blushed hard hitting on her shoulder playfully.

Babajee..iss meera ko kuch sharam hi nahi hain...

Geet asked not daring to look at them "Well... at least we have that in common. Maan is not talking to yash?"

To that meera answered while sipping at her iced tea " OMG...that look...geet..!! maan is definitely going to throw you over his shoulders ...It looks like they're engaged in some pretty intense discussion. I can see maan is seething inside...while busy at straing at you."

"Well..Congrats miss.handa...the feelings is mutual between you too...you both have hots for each other..Now let me see how maan will react to my next strategy" to that Geet's heart started to beat fast when her eyes met with angry maan's blood shot eyes which were complaining how could you?.. babajee..hey meera such main meri murder karvadegi aaj...aur maan ko main pehali baar ittne gussey main dekhrahi hun...aisa maine kya kardiya ki woh ittne gusse main hain...babajee mian na aapko kulfi chadadungi...aap please maan ke gussey ko thanda karado...

P.S: Sorry for the delay in update. I had to re-type this update as I lost whole data due to power cut. And over that there was no net connection since last night except to give update via cell which was highly impossible task. By looking at the responses, I have planned to end this fiction in two or three chapters tops. I don't understand where i am lacking at, but I feel so demotivated looking at the responses and likes. Please don't think that I am complaining, I am over the edge of crying; its just that single chapter took 4 hours to type and edit it. its really a tiresome job. I am very great full to those who have liked, commented and shared their opinions. Anyways let me know if you have any questions/suggestions regarding this fiction. If you like what you are reading please press like button and comment.
