in geets room

geet picked her cell...and smiled to see the name flashing on it

geet : hello...

pari (squeled tauntingly): aapke jaagne ka time ho gaya sleeping queen..??

geet (rolled her eyes on the usual cribbing of her friend) : abb tujhe b mere sone se problem hai...? (she said poutingly)

pari : seriously geet..chhutti ka din koi sone me waste karta hai kya...and jab se exam khatam huye u didnt even call me once (she whinned)

geet (got chance to taunt now) : now look whose talking...remember what you told me on the day of last exam
"geet yarr...now you forget that you have a friend called pari for one month atleast..don't you dare call me...3 saal tune apne saath mujhe bhi sanyasi bana diya..not anymore"

geet repeated exactly what she told her.

pari (rolled her eyes) : ya i do...but its not my mistake that i said all...you really are a big fun spoiler...and if something related to studies is up than whom else will i call..? (she pouted saying so)

geet : achha bachhu kaam aaya toh geet...warna tum kaun...hmm...😳

pari : ok meri maa...maaf karo
but pls help karo...( she sighed in defeat)

now geet thought that something really important is up...otherwise pari n request..no chance..

geet : ok meri maa but pehle bolo ki hua kya...?

pari : WHAT...? you don't know...? kaha dhyan hai tumhara...abi sirf exam hua hai you haven't got the degree yet..

geet : pari...plz yar come to point

pari (sighed) : conference on saturday

geet : on...?

pari : "impact of tax on society"

geet didn't say anything for some time.

pari : kya hua...? you coming na.?

geet : most probably i'm not...you know very well tax is my enemy.
(geet hated that subject as however hard she tried...she just couldn't get it)

pari : no ways...! you have to come...and am not taking excuses on this ..!

geet (spoke with finality) : FINE...! m coming...but what help you need for that..?

but before pari could open her mouth, geet spoke again

geet : WAIT...! dont tell me that you are sopposed to give the VOTE OF THANKS and i have to write it for you...you did that last time..! (geet warned..reminding her)

pari : no...its something else this time. (pari said, relieving geet)

geet : toh kya help chahiye bataegi...? ( geet was tired of her suspense game now...already she's in the SHAADI mess since morning...and thus spoke a little loudly)

pari : i'm not able to decide on my outfit for the conference..!

geet (was flabbergasted and got furious, her she was thinking that her friend is in genuine need of help, but this madam as usual is up with her silly tantrums...but tried not to be rude and spoke sarcastically) : WHAT...! pari did you just auctioned your brain after exams...asking such silly questions...!
we are supposed to wear formals usme tujhe kya help chahiye...!!

pari (sensed geet's anger still said nonchantantly) : dekh geet...its pari you are talking about..and you know i'm very sensetive about what i'm wearing as people look forward to see how pari is dressed up...anyway you won't understand that..and this time i have to impress the speaker...he's soo handsome and young and dynamic...wait you know him too...

geet smiled hearing her blabbering...this was her special friend who can do anything..she can make someone angry with only her few words but also has the capacity to make the same person smile in next second...geet's thoughts about pari was broken by pari's next words...

pari : you know who the speaker is???? its...

geet (cutting her she spoke) : dekh mujhe tere dynamic speaker me koi intrest nahi...tu hi usse impress karr...btw did you ditch your BF already that you are behind this speaker now...?

pari : nope babes...! not soo soon...i have decided to ditch him after marriage 😉
and about the speaker...well not in that i want to date him...just a little presentable to come in his good books thats it...!

geet was again smiling at her talks...she has known pari for a long time now...she loves her BF and both are happily commited for past 3 years, and geet is happy for them...BUT that doesn't mean she won't tease her whem she got a chance...as its only pari with whom she can behave out of her rule book 😉

geet (tauntingly and teasingly) : ye thoda jaldi nahi hai...i mean atleast ek baby toh hona hi chahiye afterall he had to bear you and your tantrums for so long, poor him..i mean its already 3 years you are together and marriage in about next 3-4 years...so

pari : nahi yarr no babies for me...bahut pain hota hai...!

Thats when geet realised what she said...she wasn't into talking such stuff with her friends or anyone for that matter...but with pari, somehow things were different...she would always end up speaking too much. Geet was all lost in thoughts...

pari : GEET...! kaha kho gai...apne price charming k sapne me...? 😛

pari teased...she was the only one to know geet's defination of prince charming...for geet "he should be more beautiful from heart than the face" that's what geet would always say when questioned on this topic and then would blush like hell 😳😳

her teasing voice broke geet's trance

geet : Huh...! NO...(geet rolled her eyes)

she replied to her...to which pari replied back...

And their conversation continued for another half an hour talking anything and everything until geet forgot all her accumulated tensions of the day.

After the call was finished, pari took her cell and typed a messasge

"mission cheer-up geet" accomplished 😉
and sent it to RANO AUNTY.

Rano recieved pari's message and sighed in relief...she had asked pari to cheer geet up as she saw geet very upset and hurt after lunch. Also she knew more was up for geet when mr handa returns and she wanted to distract her a bit before that. The idea came up to her as she recalled pari's call from the morning also she didn't had to give the details as for pari geet is upset was enough to come in action.

*******************

geet was now in a better mood after talking with pari...
so she decided to read some book for now to keep her mind occupied as she had nothing much to do until she is summoned by her papa.

*************

The clock struck 6 pm...and mr handa entered the house and straight went to his room.
rano followed him shortly with a glass of water.
she wanted to start the conversation but than decided to wait for him to start.
when for about 15 mins he didnt say anything...she got restless and

rano : shall i call geet...?

mr handa looked up at her and she knew it meant "not now"

finally he decided to speak

mr handa : did you talk to her..?

rano : yes

mr handa : what did she say

rano : she doesn't love anyone. (she said directly)

mr handa : are you sure..?

rano : i trust my daughter

mr handa (felt offended with her words and spoke sternly) : i trust her too but that doesn't mean i will become blind and deaf...!

rano ( she knew she spoke too much but didn't feel guilty) : i'm sure she isn't lying as she never lies.

mr handa : go call her

rano ( reluctantly ) : aapko nahi lagta its a bit too early for marriage...she is not ready.

mr handa (sternly) : right now i want you to call her and not defend her.

with no other option rano went to call geet praying to babaji to be generous with her daughter and choose best for her.

*************

after 10 minutes geet was standing in front of her dad...for the first time she felt he is not the same man...her papa who can do anything on her one demand.

geet : papa...you called me..?

mr handa : hmm...sit need to talk

(to rano) want to talk to her alone

(rano left the room obeying her hubby though she didnt like it..as she thought she had that much right on her own daughter and her own husband and his decision...but then shrugged the thought)

geet was little nervous...not scarred as she knew she didn't do anything wrong, she was waiting for her papa to start conversation and he did.

mr handa : you know what it is about..?

geet : yes

mr handa : you want to say something ...?

geet : no...i said all to mom..there's nothing more from my side to add.

They were being straight and formal with their words...as her papa didn't show any emotions, she decided to do the same as he was her role-model and she always followed or atleast tried to follow him religiously.

mr handa : so then...are you ready for marriage...? ( he asked )

geet got shochked...though knew this was coming and was prepared but her pap's direct words and emotionless tone really shockked her... but then also she didn't question or doubted or rather she didn't wanted to...then finally she looked up to make an eye-contact and answered..

geet : i can neither refuse nor question your decision ever and you know that.

At this moment she saw a little emotion in his eyes...a feel of proud in her father's eyes for her and that made her proud on herself.

mr handa immediately masked his emotions again. And was ready with the next question which was completely out of context for geet.

mr handa : who is MAAN KHURRANA ...?

seeing her fathers mood swing geet was back to her original avtar. She couldn't mask her emotions for long however hard she may try.

geet (st) : aaj papa ko kya hua babaji...abhi itni seriously meri shadi ki baat ho rahi thhi...now suddenly some MAAN KHURRANA came up...now who is he and why is papa asking me about him...? 😕

geet was thinking while mr handa was waiting for her reply..

and suddenly it dawned to her who can this MAAN KHURRANA be...but she wanted to confirm.

geet : maan khurrana the CA...?

mr handa ( nodded and spoke) : yes...do you know him.

geet was more confused with his purpose of asking about maan khurrana ...but than thought may be papa needs some advice as he was the best Tax consultanat of the town.

geet : yes...i know him

mr handa : have his number..?

geet (was now super confused ) : yes i do...!

mr handa : how you know him and why did you exchange numbers...?

geet (as she was not understanding any bit of the conversation about maan khurrana, she decided to reply straight without any arguments) : umm...he is the best tutor for tax in the town and we used to attend his classes during IPCC, its like 3 years back and number we were supposed fill in forms while his i needed for emergency if i had any doubt.

geet spoke clearing all his doubts about her knowing maan sir.

mr handa listened to her...he was processing her words and thats what geet could read from his expressions.

There was a silence in the room for about next 20 mins, after that geet spoke...

geet (coughed to break his thoughts and spoke when he looked up) : papa mai jaaon...? (she asked)

mr handa ( became serious again and spoke) : hmm...be ready its your engagement next monday followed by marriage next month.

geet was again shocked, she couldn't move or sense anything. Though she was now ready but still didn't expect this early...she thought now the process of looking for prospective groom would start and then it would take atleast a few months as her papa was quite choosy in selecting things for her as he always wanted the best be it even a notebook than how come he can choose her life partner so soon..? and her thoughts kept wandering...it was amusing for her and she was soo speechless.

mr handa (spoke again) : thats final and i don't need any advice from you or your mom on this.

on that geet nodded and went to her room.
Her fate finally decided...she wanted to talk to papa and say she's not ready but decided against it, as she knew he was in no mood of changing his decision, so she decided finally to give-in in front of fate and enjoy every moment of last month of her unmarried status.

Suddenly her mood changed. By next month she will be married, she was having mixed feelings of shock, surprise, nervousness, excitement, shyness all hit her...all but no fear or doubt as she could trust her papa blindly...he may be angry right now but even then he cannot take any wrong decision for her and that was her faith on god and her father.

With all these thoughts in her mind she lied on her bed deciding to sleep...while sleep decided to play hide and seek with her...with soo many feelings and thoughts hitting her together. And why not..marriage is dream of every girl...though geet didn't dream of it yet...but there's always a first time to everything and it seemed now was her first time.
With all sweet thoughts she finally managed to sleep after full two hours only to get lost in the dreams of her sweet future with a shy smile adoring her lips.
