"Akshay!! tumne Maan ki shaadi wadi karni hai k nahi??" Akshay's mom frowned at him, last night again they all attended a wedding where questions about his marriage were so on...
"Kyun nahi maa! meri bhi khwahish hai k ghar mein bahu aye, lekin wo pehle NewYork se to wapas aye..." Soha answered instead of Akshay, she too was tired of listening around everyone regarding Maan's marriage..
"Hahahaha!! don't worry jis hisaab se bhai kaam kar raha hai, shaadi to nahi hone wali, time chahiye naa shaadi k liye, aur dadi app dekh lejye gaa bhai itni asaani se shaadi k liye hargiz nahi maane ga..." Dev laughed when he heard about Maan's wedding discussion...
Khurrana family was on their breakfast table, discussing about Maan to get married soon which was the favorite topic of all the members in the house excluding Maan himself...
"Ab Maan to NewYork mein betha hai, to kya wo yahan ki ladki se shaadi karna pasand karega??" Tanya chachi put forward her question... Obviously, most of the questions last Night were like.. "Has he chosen some American girl?? is he seeing someone there bla bla bla"
"Kyun??? tum Maan ko jaanti nahi ho kya??? wese bhi usse jab bhi poocha hai ussne humaisha kaha hai k jo bhi ladki hum sab ko pasand hogi, wo usse shaadi kar lega.." Arjun chahoo added...
"Chaloji!! Yahan ab arrange marriage charche honge!!" Rohail (Son of Arjun chachoo and Tanya chachi, Maan's cousin brother) murmured... "Kaun karta hai yaar ajkal arrange marriage?" He whispered to Dev..
"Tujhe waqai lagta hai k Love Marriage k liye bhai k pass time hoga??" Dev chuckled...
"Aree bus!! chup ho jao tum sab... mein Maan ko jaanti hun, wo meri baat nahi taale ga.. Lekin agar tum sab roz subha sirf batein he banate raho gay to hogai uski shaadi... Koi ladki to dhoondna shuru karo..." Maan's dadi almost ordered...
"Lekin maa, agar usse koi pasand hui to??" Soha interrupted.. She was Maan's mother and knew him very well... He says he don't have time, but she also knows that some day he will fall for someone and she doesn't want anything to be forced on him...
"Agar pasand hui to bataye naa... humne mana thodi kiya hai.." Dadi smiled at Soya's question...
"Jo bhi ho... Bhabhi ek dum cool honi chahiye, jo bhai k saath suit bhi kare aur narrow minded na ho..." Rohail started with what qualities that girl should have...
"Haan, chipku aur sir pe pallu daal k bethne wali bhabhi nahi chahiye..." Dev made a face...
"To beta! aisi bhi nahi chahiye jo chote chote kapre pehn k ghar mein ghoomti phire.." Akshay looked at Dev and Rohail with narrow eyes...
"Sanskari ho, har cheez ka tareeka ata ho, aur sab se bari cheez k Maan k dill ko bha jaye, aur Maan uske dill ko... Aur kya chahiye humay??? akhir zindagii to saath mein un donow ko he guzaarni hai na???" Dadi summarized the qualities everyone wanted in Maan's wife to be...
"Acha khayali pulao bohat ban gaya, Maan ko mat bata dena koi, warna bhaag jaye gaa.." Arjun laughed and got up..
"Dev! Rohail! chalein?? meeting hai mere khayal mein..." Akshay looked at the two who were still busy in having their breakfast...
"Pata hai!! app aur chachoo jab bhi office ka koi kaam humay dete ho to dill karta hai k bhai k murder kar dein... Khud to wo wahan chain se bethta nahi hai, aur yahan humay bhi nahi bethne deta... I am sure wo jald he beemaar parne wala hai!" Dev pouted..
"Achaw! wo beemaar parne wala hai??? to phir theek hai tum donow ko bhi NewYork bhej dete hain Maan k pass!! uski khidmat karna... humare under kaam karne mein itne nakhre hain tum donow k, wo sudhaar de ga ache se tum donow ko..." Arjun cocked his eyes at Rohail and Dev...
"Idea bura nahi hai... do hafte reh kar ao tum log uss k pass..." Akshay supported Arjun...
"Kya?? bilkul nahi, hum insaan hai robot nahi..." Rohail and Dev's jaws dropped down their knees... and all the family members started laughing...
"Hello!! mom!" Maan waved Soha...
"Arre!! aj mujhe kaise call kar liya???" Soha smiled seeing Maan on skype..
"Buss aj app ki bohat yaad a rahi hai... neend bhi nahi arahi to socha k app se baat kar lun.." Maan pressed his lips together...
"Kya baj raha hai wahan iss waqt??" Soha asked with a frown on her face...
"Raat k 2..." Maan told Soha looking at the wall clock...
"Hmmm phir bhi neend nahi a rahi to zaroor koi pareshani ki baat hogi... haina???" Soha passed a suspicious look to him...
"Nahi mom!!! bus yahan mein akela hun aur yeh kaam to khatam ho k de he nahi raha, bus jaldi se yeh project khatam hoga aur mein wapas a jaoon ga..." Maan took a deep breath...
"Chalo acha hai, mein bhi tumhe bohat yaad karti hun tumhe... " She smiled... " Wese Maan!! ek baat batao, kabhi... koi bhi aisi ladki nahi takrai tumse jiss k saath tum zindagii bitana chaho??" Soha asked softly after a while...
"Arre mom!! app phirse uss shaadi k topic pe a gai???" He rolled his eyes...
"Kyun??? ab tumhari shaadi ki umar bhi to ho gai hai... ghar pe sab ko kitna intezaar hai tumhari shaadi ka... aur tum ho k shaadi k naam se he door bhaag jate ho.." Soha raised an eye brow...
"Mom!! shaadi k saath kitni saari zimaddariyani bhi to a jati hain... mein ..chh.." Maan made a face...
"Maan!! zindagii aise nahi chalti... tum jis tarah chirr rahe ho naa??? usse saaf pata chalta hai k tumhe aj tak kabhi kisi bhi ladki se pyaar nahi hua.." Annaya tried to make him understand..."Dekhna, jis din wo aye gi naa... yeh jisko tum zimmadaari ka naam de rahe ho naa??? yeh khushi ban jayegi phir... Aur mujhe poora yaqeen hai k tumhare dill ko parhne wali jaldi he aye gii.." Annaya looked at Maan lovingly...
"Arre cut it out mom!!! app bhi kya le kar beth gai??? dill ko parhne wali and stuff!! Agar jaisa app keh rahi hain wesa hota hai to mere saath to aj tak hua nahi... Aur mujhe app par poora bharosa hai, app mere liye jisse bhi pasand kareingi, wohi meri bhi psand hogi..." Maan finally gave up at that point...
"Chalo phir ab se mein apni bahu ki talaash shuru kar dun???" Soha giggled...
"Mom!!! Mujhe neend a rahi hai ab.." Maan whined with a pout...
"Hahahaha!!! acha chalo jao ab tum so jao!!" Annaya laughed...
"Mumma!! please!! mujhe nahi jana kisi bhi party mein..." Geet argued...
"Geet! dekho zidd nahi karo... tum wese bhi kabhi nahi nikalti ho... kitaabon se thoda to bahar aoo.." Smriti scolded her...
"MBA is a tough job mumma!!" Geet giggled...
"Pata hai!! zyada nakhre karne ki zaroorat nahi hai, chup chap shaam mein tayyar ho jana warna pitto gi mujhse..." Smriti glared at her daughter...
"Ok mumma!! ab mein parh lun??? please!!!" Geet stretched her arms in the air...
"Yeh ladki!! kabhi nahi sudhar sakti..." Smriti shook her head hopelessly..
...
It was Mr. Mittal's wedding anniversary celebration which was more like a business party where not only Ranbir Handa with family was invited but many more big names like Akshay and Arjun Khurrana with family as well...
"Kya dad!! ajeeb zabardasti hai! kitni boring parties hoti hain yeh..." Dev gritted his teeth...
"Ab tum donow mein se koi bhi kuch bola... to bohat zor se mujhse pitt jaye gaa..Samjhe?" Akshay glared at the two..
"Ajeeb zabardasti hai bhae!! Bhai kitna lucky hai! sunkoon se NewYork mein betha hai, koi rok tok nahi... aur hum yahan iss boring party mein sir phor rahe hain..." Rohail blabbered forcing a smile on his face as some known person waved him who he hated from the bottom of his heart...
"Oye chalo naa.. bus rehne do, Bhai ki to baat he mat karo.. khud chala gaya aur hum bhugat rahe hain... wo yahan hota to iss party mein humay ane ki zaroorat he nahi thi... bus wahan beth k hukum chalata rehta hai.. huh!!" Dev cursed Maan who heard Rohail since he was just standing behind him...
...
"Geet tum yeh kya kar rahi ho???" Smriti glared at Geet who was standing on a side with earphones plugged in her ears...
"Kya mumma??? itni boring party hai... yahan sab he business ki baatein kar rahe hain.. aur mein jab tak job start nahi karti iss sab se dooorr he achi.." Geet got irritated...
"Geet!! mujhe pata hai k tum yahan bore ho rahi ho.. lekin beta!! jagah to dekho... tum kis tarah khari ho?? kya kar rahi ho??? sab dekh rahe hain.." Smriti asked Geet to behave...
"Mein kya karun??? meri age k jitne yahan hai wo saamne baar pe mojood hain!! i hate drinking and people who drink especially the way they are drinking..." Geet pointed at Girls and Boys on the bar...
"Acha acha fine... lekin dheyaan se Geet!! mein nahi chahti k koi bhi tumhare baare mein kuch ulta seedha bole..." Smriti told Geet the reason behind scolding her...
"Hmmm..." Geet unwillingly nodded in a yes and sat down on a chair...
"Kya bakwaas hai!" Dev took a chair curing someone under his breath... He sat down opposite to Rohail who seems too busy in enjoying his soft drink...
"Huh??" Geet frowned who was just seated next to Dev...
"Ummm sorry!!" Dev apologized.. "I was just..." He shook his head...
"Its a boring party!!" Geet stated resting her chin on her plam passing a tired look to Dev..
"Indeed..." Rohail made a face too...
"Arre he is hell irritating yaar!!" Dev pointed at a guy...
"Tumhe he bada ghoomne phirne ka shawk charha tha!! jahan jaoge Business plans he pooche jaenge.." Rohail rolled his eyes..
"My Mistake!!" Dev gritted his teeth...
"So what do you guys do??" Geet asked casually, she was too bored...
"Heard about Khurrana Industries??" Dev asked...
"Yeah!! usse kaun nahi jaanta... infact i am doing my MBA and i have got thesis to write on Maan Khurrana who happens to be a topper of our institute" Geet spokeout excitedly...
"Haan wohi... He isour brother!! aur ussi ki meharbani hai k hum yahan iss party mein phase hue hain... office isse kai gunna zyaada interesting hota hai trust me..." Dev commented...
"Really??? u r his brother??" Geet asked excitedly...
"Haan ghalti se.." Rohail laughed...
Acually Rohail and Dev were forced to join office soon because of Maan's absence as work load was alot on Akshay and Arjun so when they were asked to join office after completing their studies instead for a break or some workshops, they both refused but when Maan got to know this he very nicely emotionally blackmailed them in a funny way and convinced them to work at least for week and that is when they both got stuck with the office for rest of their lives... It wasn't like there was some hatred or no love between these three brothers... The three of them were very close to each other but Maan being Maan plays smart some time... The three of them leaves not even a single chance to pull eachother's leg and share a very strong bond which was a example set for others...
Business parties were always very boring for the three of them, first it was the three of them who make plans to stay out of these parties but later when Maan joined his hands in business he became so popular that people started recognizing him so he had to attend those parties after lot of lectures from Akshay otherwise he would have never paid any attention to such stupid boring things.. But in all this mess Rohail and Dev gets a way out to stay back and enjoy...
"Oh!! to yaani bare bhai ki dada giri chalti hai??" Geet teased them...
"Sab ka waqt ata hai.." Rohail rolled his eyes..."By the way tumhara naam kya hai??" Dev asked Geet..
" Geet! Geet Handa.." Geet smiled...
"Yaani Ranbir Handa's daughter??" Dev asked further...
"Hmmm aur tum donow ka naam??" Now Geet asked...
"Dev... and Rohail.." They both introduced themselves..
The three of them soon got busy in chatting and laughing with each other unknown to the fact that Soha was closely noticing this...
...
As they got back home, everyone was so tired that all of them retired to their beds whereas Soha after changing went to Dev's room where Rohail and Dev were arguing over something...
"Kyun jhagar rahe ho tum donow??" Soha frowned at them...
"Hum????" Both Dev and Rohail looked at Soha with narrow eyes...
"Hum kahan jhagar rahe hain badi maa??" Rohail raised his shoulders...
"Khair jo bhi hai... aj wo ladki kaun thi jiske saath tum donow party mein baat kar rahe thai??" Soha asked sitting on the couch...
"Kaun Geet???" Dev asked arching his eyebrow...
"Ab mujhe kaise pata hoga uska naam???" Soha asked back...
"Wo... actually bari maa, wo hain naa kya naam hai??? haan... Ranbir Handa.. jin k saath yeh naya project hum log handle kar rahe hain... unki beti thi..." Rohail answered...
"Bhai k liye achi rahe gii.." Dev chuckled...
"Kya???" Rohail started coughing...
"Tumhe kya laga??? mom inquiry kyun kar rahi hai??" Dev laughed...
"Shut up! tumse sirf naam poocha tha uska..." Soha glared at Dev and stood up to leave...
"Lagao gay bet??? Kal Mr Ranbir Handa with family yahan dinner pe invited honge..." Dev winked at Rohail...
"Bet lagane ki zaroorat nahi hai... mujhe pata hai! Bhai ki to lag gai..." Rohail gave a high five to Dev...
As predicted, Next day on the Dinner Table Handa family was having dinner with Khurranas with an special eye on Geet... Her simplicity and beauty has alread won everyones heart but now Soha and dadi even loved her because of her behaviour and nature... She was just adorable to them, the way she talks, walk, behaves and most important give repect to others...
"Chachi!! Zara sochein, Geet natak kar rahi hui to???" Dev sat down on the kitchen slap and asked Tanya in full dramatic style...
"Chup!! drama.." Tanya commented twisting Dev's ear...
"Arre kya chachi, kuch tafreeh hai he nahi... yeh bhai jab se gaya hai naa life se tafreeh se khatam ho gai hai... aur wo idiot Rohail! usse kal ek presentation deni hai wo uski tayyari mein laga hua hai.." Dev pouted...
"Acha hua tum donow k liye kaam choron! Maan k jaane se atleast yeh faida to hua k tum donow line pe a gaye ho..." Tanya frowned at Dev...
"Wese Ap sab ko Geet pasand to khoob a gai hai, lekin bhai ko pasand aye aur bhai usko pasand aye iss baat ki kya guarantee hai??" Dev asked taking a bite of an apple...
"Tumhe iss sab ki tension lene ki koi zaroorat nahi hai! jo hoga dekh leyna... abhi chup betho aur mujhe kaam karne do.." Tanya said putting dishes a side...
"Arre wah wah wah! hone wale dulhe raja ka phone hai!!!" Dev jumped with excitement as he saw Maan's name flashing on his phone...
"Kya baat hai bhai??? tumhari he baat kar rahe thai sab..." Dev giggled..
"Meri baat??? zaroor buraiyaan kar rahe hogi meri tum log..." Maan cocked his eyes...
"Bus ab rehne do bhai! burai to meri aur Rohail ki hoti hai yahan, tum to champion bane bethe ho... kisne kaha tha uss manhoos project mein mujhe aur Rohail ko involve karne ko??? saara din bus ussi mein sir khapana parta hai... Socha tha thoda ghoomein gay hum donow studies complete karne k baad phir office join karein gay lekin tumhe bardaasht thodi tha... chale gaye NewYork aur phasa diya yahan humay.." Dev complained...
"Oye Chal oye... bakwas kiye ja raha hai uss waqt se... " Maan frowned...
"Acha bhai ek baat batao... tumhe ladki kaisi chahiye shaadi k liye??? kya haina yeh aj kal ka daily discussion topic hai humare ghar kaa.." Dev came into the mood to have a little fun..
"Phir shuru hogaye tum sab ussi topic ko le kar... Kal mom bhi..." Maan was irritated
"Hahahaha... mazak kar raha tha bhai... tum samajhte nahi ho..." Dev laughed...
"Acha khair! aur bataokya ho raha hai?" Maan asked taking a breath..
"Kya hoga??? kuch nahi, Dad k kuch guests aye hue hain wo unke saath busy hain... Rohail project presentation ki tayyariyun mein aur mein..." Dev was about to complete but Maan cutted of..."Humesha ki tarah free... haina???" Maan completed Dev's sentence...
"Haan haan hass lo jab meri baari aye gi naa tab poochonn gaa.." Dev pouted...
"Acha khair, chalomein rakhta hun mujhe bohat kaam hai aj..." Maan said putting his cloths into the washing machine...
"Haan haan jao... aish karo..." Dev smiled and ended the call...
...
Maan used to get lot of free time after office so he never hired any servant... cleaning, washing, cooking... no matter whatever it is he does it by himself only and that was the only thing he never told at home or else he knew Dev and Rohail will make lot of fun out of it and other members of home will scold him for that...
"Kya sab ki sab meri shaadi karwane k peeche par gaye hain?? Biwi mere sir pe mussalat ho jaye gii aur inhe apni tafreeh ki pari hai... huh!!" Maan rolled his eyes..
After washing cloths and dishes, he started cleaning house which he do twice in a week.. Suddenly he started taking hiccups..
"Yeh hichkiyaan kyun ane lagi mujhe??" Maan thought taking a glass of water to drink...
"Phir koi shaadi ki planning kar rahe honge sab... aur koi kaam thodi hai kisi ko iss k ilaawa..." Maan pouted...
...
"Ladki to bohat achi hai... aur iss baat mein koi shak nahi... to kya khayal hai??" Dadi asked everyone as they all gathered in the hall after bidding bye to Malhotras...
"Mujhe bhi bohat pasand hai... bilkul wesi jaisi humne Maan k liye sochi thi.." Soha too smiled...
"Haan bohat he pyari lagi mujhe to..." Tanya added...
"Bus to phir chalao baat.." Akshay gave a final node...
"Arre lekin bhai se nahi poochen gay kya??" Rohail interrupted...
"Haan haan... mazak apni jagah lekin bhai ka bhi to koi decision matter karta hai naa??? ap rishta bhej dein aur phir bhai ko pasand nahi i to??" Dev added...
"Tum donow to chup he raho... Maan k chmche..." Arjun asked them to keep quiet...
"Maan ko koi aitraaz nahi hoga... jo hoga uski khushi se hoga... bus!!!" Soha shut off Rohail and Dev...
...
"Kya??? Maan Khurrana ka rishta???" Geet jumped up when she heard about her marriage proposal that too for Maan Khurrana...
"Haan!! tumhare papa bhi keh rahe thai k bohat he acha aur suljha hua ladka hai... wo mile hain ek baar Maan se... aur tasveer dekhne par mujhe bhi acha laga..." Smriti smiled...
"Arre mama yeh shaadi kahan se a gai beech mein?? mein to parh rahi hun abhi.." Geet looked at Smriti with confused eyes...
"Beta! yeh poora tumhara decision hai k tum kya chahti ho... agar tumhe aitraaz hai to hum mana kar dein gay... Lekin soch samajh k faisla karna beta!! Maan bohat he naik aur acha ladka hai... aur tumhe parhne se koi rok nahi raha hai... Abhi zyaada se zyaada roka hoga ya phir sagai... shaadi ki baat to tumhare parhai complete karne k baad he aye gii aur phir wo bhale log hain, jahan tak meine unhe jaana hai wo tumhe job karne se bhi nahi roke gay..." Smriti tried to make Geet understand while combing her hairs...
"Aur yeh app ek he mulaqat mein kaise keh sakti hain??" Geet asked...
"Arre wo isliye kyun Soha meri bachpan ki saheli hai... hum donow school aur collage mein saath thai... phir shaadiyaan hogai to milna he nahi hua kabhi... uss din party mein bhi itefaaq hai k itne logon k beech humara amna saamna nahi hua lekin parson unke ghar jab hum gaye to ek doosre ko dekh kar chaunk gaye.." Smriti smiled...
"Mumma... shaadi???" Geet bit her lower lip with confused expressions...
"Mein jaanti hun Geet! k tum Maan se ek baar bhi nahi mili ho... isliye jhijak rahi ho... aur yeh sahi bhi hai k jisse tum jaanti nahi uske liye ek dum se haan kaise keh do... Wese to Maan bhi tumse kabhi nahi mila aur usse bhi abhi tak koi baat nahi hui hai iss baare mein kekin uske ghar walon ne yeh khwahish zahir ki hai k wo tumhara haath Maan k liye chahte hain...Lekin wo Maan se pehle tumhari marzi bhi janna chahte hain kyunki tum abhi parh rahi ho... Agar tum hammi bhar do gii to phir Maan se bhi baat ki jaye gii taake tum donwo apas mein milo aur phir jo theek lagay faisala karo...Hmmm??? Geet!! beta iss baare mein sochna zaroor.. agay tumhari marzi.." Smriti kissed Geet's forhead and left the room closing the door behind...
Still confused with her thoughts, Geet looked down at her register where in between few prinout were there which consist of Maan Khurrana's picture and other details.. It was her thesis work.."Maan Khurrana!" She whispered...
Flash Back...
Geet was coming back from shopping when it started raining one Night... Surprisingly she was taking a short cut that day but her car got punctured and now she was walking all alone in the rain, it started getting dark and Geet found no one there to help her...
"Phone bhi andar reh gaya hai!!" She was really worried about how she will get back home as her car lock got jammed and her mobile was inside...
"Ab kya karun??" Geet soliloquized and started walking "Uff yeh heels!!" She took off her sandles and thats when her feet landed on something sharpmaking her jump and slip at the same time... "Ahhh" she yelled and caught off guard by a hand which helped her from not falling down...
"U ok??" He asked...
"Yeah!!!" Geet took a deep breath but then got scared.. Lonely road and a stranger in front of her..
"App yahan iss tarah akele???" He asked
"Ummm meri gadi kharab hogai thi... " Geet said with a bit hesitation...
"Want some help??" He offered...
"Ummm... nahi thanks!!" She wanted to run away as soon as possible..
"Relax!!" He asked her to calm down and walked forward to see if he can do anything with her car..
...
Years later... Geet was doing her MBA, she was given a project where she has to research about the name Maan Khurrana ..."Yeh to wohi hai..." Geet still remembered his face and kindness...
She searched more about him and almost became his fan... more and more she got to know about him, more and more she started admiring him... His personality, looks and everything was making her attracted to him, Meeting Maan someday became her dream and he was kind of an inspiration for her..
Flash Back Ends...
"Lekin isska rishta ajayega!! Yeh to maine kabhi nahi socha tha!!" She scratched her head... "Mujhe nahi karni abhi koi shaadi waadi.." She shook her head in a No... "Lekinnn..." She bit her lower lip... "Milne mein kya jaata hai??" She chuckled..
...
The very Next Morning when she came at the breakfast table Ranbir and Smriti both were looking at her silently, expecting an answer or the demand of some more time from her side but she kept quiet all the while eating breakfast...
"Geet!!" finally Ranbir broke the ice...
"Mana kar dun unhe???" He asked with a smile as he can see his daughter stealing glances of them...
"Wo Papa..." Geet tried to say something still looking down...
"Beta darne ki koi baat nahi hai, hum khud abhi tumhari shaadi k baare mein kuch nahi soch rahe... yeh to bus achanak se ek acha rishta ya to humne pooch liya tumse..." Ranbir trieD to make her comfortable...
"Wo papa!! Agar app logon ko theek lagta hai to... to mujhe koi problem nahi hai milne mein.." Geet tried to hide her blush and ran towards her room...
...
"Kya??? uss ne haan kardi??? ab???" Dev's jaw dropped down...
"Bagair mile???" Rohail's eyes popped out...
"Shaadi k liye haan nahi kahi hai! Maan se milne k liye haan kahi hai!" Tanya shut them off..
"Haan aur isse pata chalte hai k wo waqai shareef ghar ki sanskari ladki hai jo apne maa baap pe poora yaqeen rakhti hai." Dadi said...
"Hain??? yeh kaun se sanskaar hain??? rehna to usse hai bhai k saath na k uske parents ko..." Rohail sounded logical...
"Oh ho... dekho abhi sirf baat chalai hai hum logon ne... Maan se bhi baat karein gay, wo yahan aye gaa mile gaa phir agar donow ko laga k wo ek doosre k saath zindagii guzaar sakte hain to bus phir roka kar ke sagai kar dein gai aur phir kuch time baad shaadi lekin agar koi masla hua beech mein to phir jo unki kismat lekin mujhe lagta nahi hai k Maan mana karega..." Soha ended the discussion...
"To phir Maan se baat ki jaye???" Akshay asked everyone...
"Bhai sahab! mujhe lagta hai k yeh baat Maan se amne saamne ki jaye to he acha hai, phone pe ya video chat pe nahi... Warna wo as expected abhi Shaadi k naam se he bhaag jaye ga..." Tanya adviced...
"Baat to sahi hai tanya ki..." Akshay raised voice...
"Mein batata hun, bhabhi ya hum mein se koi usse baat kare usse acha hai k in donow ko New York bhej dein...Kyunki yeh donow he hain wo usse haan bulwa sakte hain shaadi k liye... Atleast Geet k baare mein wo soche to sahi... aur wahan yeh donow usska kaam jaldi khatam karwane mein madad bhi kar dein gay hopefully!!" Arjun suggested...
"Brilliant Idea!" Akshay clapped...
"Haan yeh sahi rahe ga.." everyone agreed..
"No No Never!!!" Both Dev and Rohail jumped up..."Hum kyun pitne jaein??? shaadi ki baat ap logon ne cheri , ladki ap ne pasand ki aur baat almost app ne pakki kar di hai... hum kyun bhai ki jhar sunne jaein??" Dev tried to put his hand away from that matter...
"Aur nahi to kya??? Hum nahi jaein gay..." Rohail too backed off...
"Chup!!! Samaan pack karna shuru karo... tum donow parson ja rahe ho.." Arjun glared at them...
"Ajeeb musibat hai.." Rohail and Dev gave a look like Beta! ab to gaye...
Geet was sitting in the cafeteria still in her thoughts when her best friend Additi came with her fiance Prem and sat down taking a chair on the same table...
"Yaar Additi!! tum itna dimagh kyun kha rahi ho??? Mein tumhe yeh topic dus baar samjha chuka hun lekin tumhe yaad he nahi rehta yeh... Geet se samajh lo ab, mujhe jana hai professor sinha k saath..."Prem tried to make an excuse..
"Prem!! tum professor sinha ko bardasht kese karte ho??? unhe to class mein bardasht karna bhi mushkil ho jata hai humare liye .." Additi scratched her head...
Well, Prem Joshi was one of the best student of his times, after completing his studies, He joined hands with his father in construction business... Later he also got engaged to Additi Gupta who was the daughter of his Father's best friend and his childhood friend as well...
Right now Additi was doing her MBA from the same university from where Prem used to study few years back and Prem was called there by the Principal because he wanted to expand the building of university and for that he needed a second opinion which he thought Prem is the best person to give as he has already studied there so he can conclude what students think and what will be more beneficial for both students and faculty...
"Isse kya hua hai???" Prem pointed towards Geet who was not even listening to them and was busy in her own thoughts...
"Geet!!!!" Additi clicked fingers in front of her...
"Huh???" Geet came out of her thoughts...
"Kahan gum ho??? isse samjha do naa yeh case study.." Prem asked..
"Haan lao naa.." Geet said while looking at the case study...
"Tumhari chonch kaise bund hai aj??? aise to har waqt chi chi karti rehti ho..." Prem asked raising his eyes...
"Shut up Prem!" Geet glared at him... she came back in her mood of having fun putting her thoughts about Maan Khurrana away for sometime...
"Kis k khayalon mein gum ho??? Aj kuch khaas hai kya??" Additi teased Geet after Prem left as she saw her blushing a little..
"Kya khass hai???" Geet acted innocent...
"Bachoo kuch to chakar hai... batao..." Additi looked at Geet with doubtful eyes...
"Kuch nahi hai... kya hoga??" Geet looked down...
"You are blushing!!! tum sharma rahi ho... Kaun hai wo??" Additi asked with a naughty smile on her face...
"Koi nahi hai aur koi khass baat nahi hai.." Geet tried to deny the fact...
"Jee nahi!! kuch to hai, abhi parson tak to aisa kuch nahi tha jab mein tumse akhri baar mili thi... lekin yeh ek din mein aisa kya hogaya k tum kisi k khayalon mein itni gum rehne lagi???? Tumhe pehle meine aise kabhi nahi dekha!! So mujhse to chupane ki koshish bilkul mat karo aur batao mujhe..." Additi made Geet look her instead of surrounding...
"Ahhh its nothing! just.."Geet looked down..
"Just what??? bolo.." Additi smiled with excitement...
"Additi please yaar don't look at me like that... warna bilkul nahi bataoon gi..." Geet pouted...
"Ok ok... ab serious hun... bolo.." Additi stopped teasing her and smiled getting straight...
"Ummm u remember about Maan Khurrana???" Geet asked biting her lower lip..
"Of course.. of course i know Maan , Prem ka bachpan ka dost hai... aur iss university ka topper bhi" Additi said in a flow..."One minute..." Additi's eyes widen up just after a second..."Maan Khurrana!! tumhara research project hai!!" Additi connected Maan and Geet's link...
"Right!!" Geet smiled...
"No way!!! i mean how??? wo to yahan hai bhi nahi... NewYork mein betha hai wo..." Additi almost jumped up...
"Kya kar rahi ho tum???" Geet pulled her down on the chair again...
"Uska proposal aya tha mere liye... and..." Geet left her sentence incomplete...
"What??" Additi's jaw dropped down
"Well... yeah!" Geet replied with a bit hesitation...
"OMG! This is a news... Kis dill ne usse maanga tha Geet tumne??? Ladkiyaan marti hain uspe aur wo unhe bhaw nahi deta, And for you straight away uska proposal agaya??? Hhh This is amazing!" Additi jumped with excitement...
"Lekin, wo tumse saamne se a kar kab mila??? i mean wo to meri engagement mein bhi nahi tha... New York mein tha wo uss time.." winkles appeared on Additi's forehead...
Maan was not a stranger for Additi as she knew him because of Prem since childhood... Additi and Maan leaves no stone unturned to pull each others leg whenever they meet... Maan used to tease Additi by warning Prem about her attitude and by calling her bhabhi ji in front of her and Additi used to team up with Dev and Rohail to irritate him like hell...
Maan and Prem's families became friends with each other after some time of their friendship so yeah! They were like brothers and gets treated like family members in each others family...
"Mein nahi mili usse kabhi... In fact abhi to officially haan bhi nahi hui hai.. jab tak hum apas mein ek doosre se mil k baat nahi kar lete..." Geet told Additi the background of the story...
"Oh ho!! to yeh baat hai !!! Lekin tum to uske khayalon mein he gun hogayi ho!, agar daal nahi gali to???" Additi got a little worried.. she doesn't wanted her sister like friend's heart to be broken up into peices...
"To meri kismat!! lekin iss pe mera ikhtiyaar nahi hai, pata nahi kaise, mein usse ajj tak face to face mili bhi nahi..." Geet pressed her lips together looking down...
"Chh... choro!! tum positive socho!! Jahan mein Maan ko jaanti hun wo bohat he simple hai, zindagii ko khul k jeeta hai aur Tum bhi kuch aisi he ho to mujhe lagta hai k things will work out between you two..." Additi smiled cheering her up..
"Lekin please tum Prem se kuch nahi kahogi jab tak kuch bhi official baat nahi hoti.." Geet requested Additi...
"Hehehehe! dont worry!! kuch nahi kahungi usse...Ab dekhna yeh hai k Armaanh wapas kab ata hai.." Additi smiled biting her lower lip...
Quiet whether and a windy night! Maan was sleeping peacefully in his room when he heard the door bell... He rubbed his eyes and looked at his watch which was showing 3 am in New York...
"Iss waqt kaun a gaya hai??? Wo bhi yahan???" He made a face and got up to see...Opening the main door with a yawn where Dev and Rohail were standing with there bags..."Kya bhai?? aur deir se kholte darwaza..." Dev complained and without giving him any chance to question both of them entered...
"Tum??? oh hello!! tum donow yahan kya kar rahe ho??? wo bhi achanak iss tarah???" Maan rubbed his eyes not able to believe what he saw...
"Kyun??? ghar mein kisi ko chupa k rakha hai?? jo humare ane se pareshaan ho rahe ho???" Rohail teased...
"Chup bay! Tum pehle mujhe yeh batao k tum donow yahan kaise???" Maan asked while closing the door...
"Socha chuttiyaan manein!!" Dev laughed and Rohail too, thinking about their real intentions of visiting him...
"Mujhe pagal samjha hai tum donow ne???" Maan frowned...
"Haan!! wohi to banne wale ho tum bhai!!" Rohail laughed...
"Dafa ho jao! mein sone ja raha hun, meri neend kharab kardi.." Maan threw a sofa cusion at them and marched towards his room...
"Bhai se baat kase karoge??? joote lagaye gaa yeh to humay..." Roahil asked Dev when Maan went back to sleep...
"Hum koi rishta le kar aye hain jo baat kareinge???? Hum baat thodi karein gay hum to tafreeh lein gay..." Dev chuckled with a smirk...
...
In the Morning... Maan woke up with a jerk feeling himself getting wet with water...
"Gadhon!! atay he shuru ho gaye tum donow???" He yelled at Dev and the glared at Rohail who was laying lazily while reading a book on the other side of the bed...
"Meine kuch nahi kiya!!!" Rohail puts his hands up hiding his smile...
"Tum donow kar kya rahe ho yahan??? wahan ka kaam kaun sambhale gaa??" Maan asked snatching away the water bottle from Dev...
"Hum yahan apni marzi se nahi aye hain... bheje gaye hain..." Rohail chuckled...
"Arre lekin kisne bheja hai tum donow ko yahan mera dimagh kharab karne??? aur kyun???" Maan made a face and threw the remaining water on Dev..
"Dad ne bheja hai... bole Maan ki madad karo wahan ja kar so taa ke ... tum apna kaam khatam karke jaldi se India lauto !!! Tumhari band jo bajani hai..." Rohail mimicked...
"Kya bakwaas hai yeh???" Maan glared at them...
"Abhi to humne bakwaas shuru he nahi ki..." Dev passed an innocent look...
"Kya???" Maan narrowed his eyes...
"Arre kuch nahi bhai!!! tumhe tung karne ka bohat mann kar raha tha to a gaye, socha thodi tafreeh bhi ho jaye gii..." Rohail finally ended the teasing session...
"To aise bolo naa... Lekin tum donow ko dekh kar ujhe koi positive vibes nahi a rahi hai... kuch to garbar kar k aye ho tum donow..." Maan shot a doubtful look at them...
"Kya bhai??? yahan a k bilkul he bore ho gaye ho... mazak bhi nahi samajhte..." Dev threw himself on the sofa..
"O..teri!! tum donow k chakkar mein bhool gaya k 10 baje meri meeting hai aur 8 yahin baj gaye hain..." Maan hit his head against his palm and ran into the washroom...
"Abay marwaye gaa kya?? Ghar walon ne ek serious zimmadari de k bheja hai humay... " Rohail got a bit serious...
"Arre pata hai yaar!! dekha nahi akele reh reh k kitna boring hogaya hai bhai! Choti choti baat pe to chirr jata hai, aise mein baat ki to joote parein gay... Kuch proper planning karni paregi..." Dev said while crossing his legs
"Haan!!! wese tu kya chahta hai??? bhai ko haan kehna chahiye ya???" Rohail bit his lower lip...
"Yaar!! Geet waqai achi hai, i think they will make a good couple... to haan mein yehi chahta hun k haan kahe bhai... Lekin yahan k asaar to kuch aur he bata rahe hain... aise he chalta raha to haan to door shaadi ki baat se he chir jaye gaa yeh... Kaam ki ziyaati ne cool dude Maan ko busy Maan bana diya hai ek dum..." Dev rolled his eyes..
"Hmmm... yaani mission patao bhai chaloo karna pare gaa..." Rohail said while scratching his head..
At one point, Geet started day dreaming about Maan... It was natural for her to fall in love with Maan so deeply as first she was attracted to him for the person he was.. It wasn't the Khurrana tag which attracted her towards him she herself was the daughter of a very rich business man and wasn't greedy for money or power... She was attracted to him because of his simplicity that everyone around him was talking about...
That day when he wasn't able to do anything with her car and gave her a ride back home, he could have flirted like others or check her out because she was so wet that moment due to rain and her clothes were almost sticking to her body exposing every inch and curve of her but he not only provided her with his jacket but also didn't even dared to look at her or talked her except for asking her about her address so that she won't get scared or feel uncomfortable..
He dropped her home and waited till she got inside without even asking about his jacket... Geet never met him again to return his jacket but she even didn't disposed it off and put it in her wardrobe... Somewhere she was really touched by this act of him and later when she came to know about his success and who he is? she was touched more and more thinking about the person who could be a spoil brat but he wasn't... He was kind of an inspiration for her about whom she only discussed with her best friend Additi a long time back... And now when she got a marriage proposal from him, she started developing feelings for him...
She took out that jacket from her wardrobe which she always use to look at and remember that strange night but never touched again... But today she took he out and smiled at it... at one point she was feeling her self in cloud 9 and was enjoying this ticklish amaizing feeling but on the other hand she had a fear as well that what if things will not work out??? what if he will reject her??? she don't want to face a rejection which feels terrible...
...
Dev was too irritated when he got to know that there is no servant in the house... He was hungry and there was nothing to eat... He walked up to Maan's room where Rohail was completing his sleep...
"Abay oye!! uthoo!!" Dev kicked Rohail...
"Dev k bache! kya masla hai??? sone do mujhe..." Rohail threw a pillow over Dev and again went to sleep..
"Arre yaar!! isse apni neend ki pari hai aur yahan mere pait mein choohe dhorr rahe hain..." Dev started cursing Maan under his breath..."Tum sote raho... mein office ja raha hun bhai k pass..." Dev threw the same pillow over Rohail which Rohail threw at him few seconds back...
...
"Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho???" Maan asked with narrow eyes as Dev entered in his cabin...
"Office ghoomne aya hun!!" Dev replied sarcastically...
"Bhai!! tum kitne kanjoos ho gaye ho... itne bare appartment mein, ek bhi servant nahi hai.." Dev gritted his teeth taking a chair...
"Kaun jhele gaa servants ko??? aur mere akele ki liye servants ki koi zaroorat nahi hai..." Maan replied in an irritated tone...
"Itna irritate kyun ho rahe ho??? kya hua hai??? Kal raat ko hum aye hain aur tab se ab tak tum sirf jhinglaye hue he dikh rahe ho???" Dev asked with concern...
"Kuch nahi yaar!! audit chal raha hai aj kal... " Maan told the reason of his behavior...
"To aise bolna tha naa... mein pareshaan hogaya k pata nahi kya hua hai..." Dev breathed lightly...
"Khair yeh sab chor... yeh batao ghar mein sab kaise hain??? Aur tum donow waqai ghoomne aye ho ya kuch aur chakkar hai???" Maan asked with doubtful look...
"Neend poori karne aye hain!! seriously matlab humay sunday ko bhi off nahi milta hai, Chachoo aur Dad k under kaam karna is too difficult..." Dev gave a deadly look...
"Hahahahaha!! " Maan laughed..."Rohail kahan hai???" He asked...
"Neend poori kar raha hai, mujhe bhook lagi thi dekha to kuch tha he nahi ghar mein... isiliye soch aaj itne time baad tumhare saath lunch kiya jaye..." Dev smiled...
"Arre haan yaar sorry!! wo time he nahi mila mujhe ghar k liye shopping karne ka.." Maan apologized...
"Tum shaadi karlo bhai!! tension he khatam ho jaye gii iss sab ki..." Dev gave Maan a serious suggestion...
"Yeh kaam khatam kar ke meine wapas ghar he jana hai beta! yahan humesha nahi rehna hai jo mein iss sab se bachne k liye shaadi kar lun..." Maan answered sarcastic...
"Shaadi azaab hai.. haina???" Dev smirked...
"Nahi yaar!! lekin bojh bhi nahi honi chahiye naa... agar marzi nahi hai to shaadi kar k faida??? na khud khush raho na he doosre ko rakh pao..." Maan gave an explanation...
"Huhhh yeh to hai... wese ghar pe roz ka yehi topic hai... kya khayal hai??? koi pasand i?? " Dev asked with a bit naughty smile...
"Nahi yaar!! time kahan hai iss sab k liye... wese bhi meine mom ko bol diya hai jo bhi unki pasand he meri pasand bhi hogi..." Maan gave an straight answer...
"Arre??? agar kal ko ghar walon ko koi bhi pasand a jaye aur wo rishta tey kar dein phir tumhe achi naa lagay to??? zindagii azaab banao gay kya???" Dev rasied his voice...
"Jazbati kyun ho rahe ho itna??? paani pee lo..." Maan asked Dev to calm down...
...
"Pata nahi yaar.. lekin aj tak kisi bhi ladki se mil k aisa nahi laga k mein usske saath zindagii guzaarna chahta hun... na he koi achi lagi k uske saath time spend karne ka jee chahe..." Maan said while having his food...
"Lo humay to roz koi na koi aisi ladki dikh jati hai.." Rohail laughed...
"Abay oye sudhar jaa... chup chap se khana khao..." Maan shook his head at both his brothers
"Acha khair, yeh shaadi ka topic ab close... aur do teen din aur araam kar lo lekin phir office ana shuru karo tum donow taa ke yeh project khatam ho kisi tarah..." Maan almost ordered...
"Haan humay bhi to apna project khatam karna hai..." Rohail took a deep breath...
"Tumhara project???" Maan cocked his eyes...
"Iss ka matlab hai k tum jald se jald ghar lauto... sab bohat miss karte hain tumhe..." Dev tried to cover up...
Few Days Later..."Maan se baat hui???" Soha called Rohail...
"Bari maa!! App itna tension kyun le rahi hain??? kar lein gay baat yeh thoda sa kaam nimat jaye office ka phir bomb phor dein gay bhai k sir pe... Wese mujhe nahi lagta k bhai mana kare gaa... Jahan tak meine samjha hai, app sab faaltu mein darr rahe hain yeh soch kar k bhai app logon ki khushi k agay apni pasand k baare mein nahi bataye gaa... wo kisi mein interested hai he nahi aur i am sure k Geet bhai ko zaroor pasand aye gi..." Rohail tried to satisfy Soha that nothing will go wrong...
...
Maan was in his cabin checking some file whereas Rohail was at home and Dev was out for some shopping...He was turning the pages of his file when by mistake he hit the glass full of water and it fall on his file..."Shoot!!!" He quickly tried to dry the file when a photograph of some girl fell down from the file...
"Yeh kya hai??" Maan thought while picking up the photograph but in order to remove water from it, he rubbed the water drops which resulted as the picture got blured..."Ab yeh sab kya hai??" He arched his eyebrow..."Zaroor yeh Dev ya Rohail donow mein sekisi ki harkat hai... kabhi to sudhar jaein..." Maan thought to gave them a lecture at home...
...
On the dinner table Maan kept the photo and asked..."Yeh kaun hai???"
"Yeh????" Both Dev and Rohail looked at each other with a grin..
"Koi ladki lagti hai... lekin iss ke chehre ko kya hua hai???" Dev tried to hide his smile...
"Yeh to mujhe bhi pata hai k yeh ladki hai! lekin yeh photograph office ki file mein kya kar rahi thi??? Aur yeh photo hai kis ki" Maan glared at both of them...
"Hone wali bhabhi ki..." Rohail blurted out...
"Kya????" Maan's eyes popped out...
"Mera matlab hai k ... Dev ka love interest hai to meri to bhabhi hui naa..." Rohail put the cap on Dev's head...
"Meri???" Dev jumped up at this sudden attack...
"Dev k bache... pehle kuch ban to jao phir ishq larana... aur tumne mujhse chupaya???" Maan narrowed his eyes...
"Abay kya bol raha hai???" Dev hit Rohail...
"Wese bhai!!! apko kaisi lagi???" Rohail avoided Dev's glaring eyes...
"Decent!! Par pehle kuch bann jao!!" He hit Dev with the same photograph..
"Wo huliye se dikh raha hai k decent hai aur ghar walon ko to a he jaye gii pasand mein to app ki pasand pooch raha hun.." Rohail inquired more...
"Arre bola naa she is nice!! Chehra blur hone ki wajah se theek se nahi dikh raha lekin meine kahin to dekha hai isse..." Maan scratched his head... She looked a bit fimiliar to him
"Arre wah! app miley hain pehle Geet se??" Dev asked winking at Rohail..
"Geet??? kahin to dekha hai isse.. naam bhi suna suna sa hai.. lekin kahan yeh yaad nahi... but she is nice.." Maan pressed his lips together...
"Matlab... bus aise he hai??? kuch zyaada khaas nahi hai..." Rohail made a bad face and tried to control his laugh... He never heard Maan so confused as if he is trying hard to remember
"Arre mujhe kya pata yaar??? jo patta raha hai usse poocho..." Maan again glared at Dev...
"Bhai!! Tumhara dill to kisi k liye abhi tak dharka nahi... to mujhe kyun ghoor rahe ho??? mera dill to dharak sakta haina??" Dev talked non sense..
"Abay chup kar naa... baat kyun bigar raha hai???" Rohail pinched Dev...
"Wese agar aisi he koi ladki ghar walon ne app k liye dhoond li jis mein saari qualities hon jo wo chahte hain to??? ghar walon ki khushi k liye haan kar dein gay??? ya apne dill ki sunn k naa???" Rohail asked carefully...
"Phir meri shaadi beech mein le kar a gaye... ajeeb ho tum log... aur wese bhi yeh ladki dikhne mein achi hai, aur agar aisi he koi ghar walon ko bhi pasand ho to mein... kis base pe mana karunga??? Jab mera kisi se koi commitment hai he nahi to phir dill ki kya sunoo??? a b c d??" Maan gritted his teeth...
"Matlab yeh ladki dekhne mein sweet aur sensible lagti hai..." Rohail again asked...
"Shut Up!! PHD nahi ki maine iss pe.." He glared at Rohail feeling irritated..
"Bhai ek baat kahun???" Dev asked showing his dimples..
"What" Maan arched his eyebrows...
"Yeh Rohail k saath saath, meri hone wali bhabhi bhi hai..." Dev chirped..
"What????" Maan jumped up and Rohail burst out laughing at his face..."Tum donow.???" Maan shouted with widen eyes...
"Haan hum donow!! isiliye to aye thai!! Ab tum maan gaye bhai!! wah, ab maza aye gaa!!!" Rohail danced..
"Maze k bache... ruko tum donow abhi batat hun..." Maan ran after them and they ran to save their lives...
...
"Mom!!! apka kaam hogaya bhai ab na sirf Geet se milega bal ke haan bhi kahe gaa... mein likh k de sakta hun..." Dev danced while talking with Soha over the phone...
"Aisa kya???" Soha cocked her eyes...
"Arre badi maa scene dekhne wala tha, bhai ko laga k Geet Dev ka love interest hai, pehle to bhai ne Dev ko khoob sunai k apni harkaton ko sahi rakho aur phir jab humne achi tarah se Geet k baare mein unki rai jaan ke unhe bataya k Yhan unki shaadi ki baat ho rahi hai to shakal dekhne wali thi!!! hahahahahaha that was worth watching!!" Rohail laughed
"Ab dekhna thodi he deir mein bhai app ko phone kare ga... to drama k liye tayyar ho jaein!!" Dev giggled switiching off the loud speaker and then ended the call...
...
"Yaar kahan dekha hai meine isse?? Chehra kuch saaf dikh raha hota to shayad pehchaan leta..." Maan scratched his head with Geet's photo in his hand which was covered with scratched and stains of water, her face was also not very much visible...
"Khair! ab un namoonow k saamne bol diya hai to zahir hai k ghar tak to baat pohunch he gai hogi!! Beta Maan! Ab to milna he pare ga.. Khair usme kya hai??? mil ke dekh leyta hun shayad mujhe bhi yaad a jaye k meine isse pehle kahan dekha hai..." Maan thought and decided to meet Geet...
