Geet: It was good.
Geet: Par mom heel pehni paregi
Rano: kaha tha na kabhi khareed liya karo... par nahi tum to apney flats mai hi khush ho.. abh bhugto
Mohinder after freshing up came to the dining table
Mohinder: Kyun dant rahi ho meri beti ko... hmm
Rano smiled and continued doing her work
Mohinder: Kaisi hai meri beti
He came and kissed her on her forehead
Geet: bilkul theek papa... how are you

Geet smiled
Mohinder: how was your shopping?

Geet was listening while arranging dishes for lunch
Mohinder: ami bhi arahi hai... aaj raat ponch jai gi
Rano: hmm

Rano: Par Geet ka to kal interview hai... aur agar wo ghar sa nikli to...
Mohinder: oh yeh to masla ho gaya... chalo I will try to make her understand.
Mohinder: Geet kitna time
Geet(self-thought): Dadi and understanding ... yeh to ho nahi sakta...
Geet: hmmm... ah...they were like u have to come at 3 pm and us kay baad I don't know kitna time lagega...
Mohinder: aur engagement function 7 pm.. kafi time hai.. chalo
Geet kept the dishes and they all started eating
After they were done
Geet: Mom mai room mai ja rahi ho...interview ki tyari bhi karni hai...
Mohinder: Best of luck beta... I am proud of you..
Geet hugged him and went to her room
Mohinder: Rano chalo Maan ki ring bhi lay ate hai
Rano: haa sahi hai... let me get ready.
They went to the mall
While Geet was studying... Geet's cell rang
Mohinder: Beta, there are some designs and me and your mom are getting confused.. aisa karo ask meera to pick u and come to this mall
Geet (selfthoght): abh mai karo... parho kay jao... Meer a ko call karti ho
Geet dialled her number
Meera: Hey girl...what's up... where are you
Geet: Par rahi ho...
Meera: tum pehli larki ho jo engagement say aik din pehle par rahi ho.
Geet: kia karo abh mai...
Meera: acha chal calm down.. bolo masla kia hai
Geet: tumhe kaisay pata kay koi masla hai?
Meera: the way you are snapping at me... definitely koi masla hai
Geet: acha sun...come to my home... Mom and papa are getting confused in the mall... Maan ki ring leni thi na.. so they are like I should select
Meera: To ja na.. masla kia hai
Geet: Masla yeh hai kay... I don't have a car... so you are taking me to the mall
Meera: Koi masla nahi... U get ready ... I am coming
Geet(selfthoght): chal Geet thori der aur parh le
Meera reached Geet's house and rang the bell
Meer: Hey
Geey: Hi
They both hugged each other
Meera: chal
Geet: Haa let me get my bag from the room
Geet went and Meera followed her
Meer: tum pori zindagi nerd he rehna...
While looking at the books scattered here and there
Geet laughed at that and took her bag, locked the house and went for the mall
They reached there where mohinder and Rano were
Rano: abh yeh bato... which one is better... this one or this one...
Geet: Mom I think simple one is better... This will the self-design both ajeeb hai... that one is classy
So they selected the ring and Mohinder paid for it
Mohinder: sirf ring to nahi deni chahiye na...
Rano: I think watch dekh lete hai
Geet: But Mom u said only ring... I have to study... mera time
Rano: beta yeh bhi kaam zaroori hota hai... pehle hi Maan nai apne dress ki shopping khud hi karli... abh kuch to dena parta hai na... as a gift... one and only damad jo bane jar aha hai
Geet: Mom abhi sirf to be fianc.. not damad
Rano: one and the same thing... wo bhi ban jai ga
Rano dragged her to the watch shop along with Meera and Mohinder
While Meera laughing loudly.
They selected a watch which almost took 2 hours as they wanted it to be perfect
They were going home when Ram called
Mohinder took it
Geet already knew that they had to come
Mohinder: Rano Ram ka phone tha... they are coming with the shagun and stuff.. They will come around 7
Rano: acha theek hai... Geet ganga ko call karo
Geet called and then gave the phone to Rano
Rano asked Ganga to make the necessary preperations and also told the cook
Geet: mai nahi ane wali samne... I have to study
Rano: acha... baba.. na ana
They reached home
Rano: Meera zara meri help to kardo.. U know Geet
Meer: Koi masla nahi aunty... let me inform maa bus
Geet went to her room and started with the preparation again
Around 7 pm Ram and Maira came. They had some discussion regarding the engagement.
Geet was still in her room
Maira: Abhi hum chalte hai... Bus Geet say mil le
Rano: Ji zaroor
Rano took her to Geet's room
Rano(self-thought) ab is larki nai kitabe jaga par rakhi ho... subha bhi... when I went it was a mess... jab yah parti hai to aisa lag ta hai... room mai tsunami aya hoa ho... Mairia kia samjhegi.. jo larki apna room nahi sambhal sakti... wo shadi kay baad ghar kaisey sambhalegi...
Rano came inside and was disappointed
Rano: wohi hoa jis ka dart tha...dekho zara is ka room
Geet didn't hear anything as she was busy reading the book of her concern
Maira: Good evening beta
Geet: Good evening mom...
Maira: I am so sorry to disturb you but mera mann nahi tha kay apni beti say begair melay jao... So I came upstairs
Geet moved ahead and hugged her...
Geet: Koi disturb nahi kia aapne... Beti kyun disturb hogi apni maa kay room mai anay sai...
Rano was awed at their relationship... It was only two days that they have met... and their bonding was more than of a mother in law and daughter in law...
Rano(self-thought): I am so happy.. abh Geet bhi apne ghar ki ho jai gi... is se acha rishta to hume mil hi nahi skata tha... Maan betay say kam nahi hai
Rano moved out to give them some privacy...
Maira: Beta Geet hum tum say both naraz hai...
Geet got a bit frozen
Geeet(selfthought): Ufff mainay kia kia... abh... Geet duffer... jhalli.. maa nai kitni baar kaha hai kay mohtat ho kar baat kia kar... lagta hai koi aisi baat kardi hai jo mom ko buri lagi... abh kia karo... sorry bol deti ho...
Geet: sorry maa.. if I have hurt you... mera mutlab wo nahi tha...
Maira: aap ko apni choice batani chaahiye thi... hamara maqsad hi app ko shopping pay lay kay jana tha kay appni pasand ki shopping kare...
Geet got confused as to what is going on...
Maira smiled at her and spoke
Maira: Geet if u would have told me that you like the sea-green dress then we would have bought that...
Geet: ahh wo momm..
Geet(Selfthought): uff Geet tu idhar udhar kyun dekh rahi thi... zaroor Maan nai dekh liya ho ga tujhe...
Maira: Mujhe to laga.. mujhe mom kahti ho to samjthi bhi ho... wo to acha hua Maan nai ussi waqt dress change kar liya... warna
Geet (selfthought): Yeh Maan bhi na... Kiya zarorat thi mujhe embarrasses karne ki... abhi call kar ke sunati ho haa...
Geet: oh...wo... mujhe nahi pata tha...
Maira: koi baat nahi Geet... I am happy kay Maan aur app me understanding ho rahi hai... liken phir agar aisa ho na to hum such me naraz ho jai ge
Geet smiled and Maira hugged her and kissed her on her forhead.
Maira: Ok beta... you study now and we will leave now.. will meet you day after tomorrow.
Geet: Ji mom
Maira moved out and came downstairs where Rano was waiting for her
Rano: wo ji bus.. u know she is so excited for her studies... us kay agay she doesn't see anything... abh dekhe uski engagement hai... aur wo...
Maira: Aisi koi baat nahi... uska shok hai... and I am sure she will get success soon... My prayers are with her... aur mujhe pata hai app uski responsibilities ka soch rahi hai... whether she will be able to handle it... but i want to assure u... that she will do it... I have seen it in her... she always prioritise her things... aap fikr na kare.. in dono nai pasand kar liye hai aik dosre ko... abh hume beach mai itna nahi bolna chaihiye... they will sort out everything themselves... mature hai dono... zindagi to inhe hi guzarni hai...
Rano was happy listening to her
Ram and Maira bid bye to the Mohinder and Rano and left from there.
At night Geet called Maan while Maan was in the meeting
Maan's phone was ringing silently. The ringing was just about to end when Maan glanced at the screen.
Maan: Ok now... we will end this meeting... Sasha make sure that the designs are on my table by tomorrow and Adi make sure the budget file is on my table before I step in office.
Adi and Sasha nodded and went out of office.
Maan: hmmm. To Geet mujhe call kar rahi hai... let see abh Malkai Geet nai kya kehna hai...
Maan called her back
Geet: Wah ji... abh call uthne ki bhi fursat nahi hai janab kay pass... bus sahi hai...
Just when Geet was murmering to herself Maan's name displayed on her screen
Geet: abhi batati ho
Geet murmered to herself and took the call
Geet: abh aap ko yaad aya call karna... mai kitni der say call kar rahi thi... par nahi app ko bus apne business mai hi magan hai... mai to app se shadi kar ke ignore hi ho jao gi... business to meri saut ban jayegi...
Maan: Geet... yeh kya bol rahi ho...
Geet: just shut up... and listen to me...
Maan just zipped his mouth seeing Geet's overcharged form
Geet: Appne wo dress kyun liya... haa... aur agar liya hi tha... to mujhe bata to diya hota... Par nahi Maan singh Khuranna... aik kharus banda kaisae yeh samjhe ga..app ko pata hai...Maa kay same itna sharminda kiya aapne...
When Geet didn't know anything else to say she shut the phone off...
Maan on the other hand was stunned by her reaction on a small thing
Maan: Yeh kia hoa... Aik dress kay piche...
Maan smiled at her reaction..
Maan: Geet aaj tum ne apni personality ka aik aur page parhne ka moka de diya... looks like u gets angry when u get frustrated...
Maan got lost in his thoughts remembering the sweet shopping incidents
On the other hand...
Geet was standing frozen with her phone in her hand
Geet(selfthought): Geet tu bilkul duffer hai... jhalli hai.. saari frustration Maan par nikal de.. Wo teray bare mai kia soch rahe hogay... Kitni batemmezi ki mai ne unke sath.. interview ki tension mai pata nahi kia kia bol diya tum ne unko... Pata nahi... kahi wo naaraz na ho jai...
And in no moment tears started coming out of her eyes...
Geet(self-thought): kahi wo kal engagement say inkar na karde... kis ko aisi larki chaheye ho gi jo engagement say pehle hi...
And she couldn't voice her thoughts more... she felt really bad... didn't knew what to do...
She lied down and kept on thinking until her eyes gave up.
Next day all were preparing for the big day. Geet's dadi was here too and the rest of the relatives were theer too... but they were given strict instruction to not to disturb her since she was preparing for her test. Though Mohinder and Rano had arguments with the relatives on this point but were later sorted out.
In afternoon
Maan called Geet
Geet murmering to herself while seeing the display name
Geet phone utha le... warna pata nahi kitna gusse hoge... upper sai tu ne sorry bhi nahi bola...ha Geet phone uthathe hi sorry bol dena...haa yeh sahi rahe ga...
Geet picked up the phone
Maan:Geet come to Rossmore Cafe in half an hour... I have to talk to you.
Maan said this without any emotion.
Before Geet could say something the phone was dead on the other end
Geet: Geet abh to paka naraaz hai... kahi wo engagement na karne ke liye to nahi bola rahe..
Geet couldn't even voice the words further and again tears came in her eyes. It was like a knife was poked into her heart and there was no one to cure it.
Maan on the other hand...
Geet I know tum kya soch rahi ho... Tumhari awaz say hi pata lag raha hai kay sari raat sochti rahi ho...
Geet came to the cafe to meet Maan
Maan was sitting looking fresh in his 3 piece suit...
Geet came to the table...
Maan stood up and like a gentle man dragged the seat for her to settle down and then sat right opposite her.
Maan was waiting for her to say anything...
Her eyes were glassy and red... it looked like she had been crying before coming here...
Maan felt the pain...
Maan: Geet
Geet: I am sorry Maan... I am really sorry... Pata nahi kaise...mai tension mai thi.. aur phir jab mai sharminda hoi to aap par...
Maan in no moment was right beside her...
Maan: Geet
Geet: Maan mai to pehle hi kaha tha mai marriage material nahi ho...par aap
Maan: chup bilkul chup... abh aik lafz nahi
While making her stand up and positioning her opposite him
Maan kept his finger on her soft supple lips and kept looking at her eyes
Maan: Geet tum kitna sochti ho...
Geet downcasted her eyes.
Maan: bus itna hi samaj payi tum mujhe...
Maan: mai tum sai naraz kyun ho ga...
Geet: to app naraaz nahi hai...
Maan nodded
Geet: Par mai ne itni badtemeezi sai baat ki app se kal... aur to aur shut up bhi bol diya... phir business ko saut bhi bana liya... phir app ko kharus...
Geet looked towards his eyes which had become stern by now
Geet(selftghoght): Geet tera moo band nahi ho sakta kabhi bhi... tu sorry bolne ayi ya phir aur batemeezi..
Geet just shut her mouth and looked down again not knowing what to say further
Maan smiled inwardly and while kept looking her... her face showiong inncocence which was red by now by crying.
Maan: haa ki... liken hum apna real self to sirf apno ko dekhate hai... aur mujhe samaj agayi thi kai tum tension aur stress mai aur is waja sat tum ne wo sab kuch kaha...
Geet was awed at this person... If there would have been any other they would have created a big scene and this person ...
Geet: aap ko pata hai app both ache ho...
Geet just hugged him while tears were wetting his vest... Maan comforted her until she was stable...
After a few minutes... Geet came back and jerked herself back..
Geet: wo I am sorry... I don't know... wo hug
Geet didn't know what to say when Maan fingers wiped her tears from her eyes...
Maan smiled and nodding his head in no made her her sit down on the chair...
Maan: Geet bus... both ro liya... itni si baat kay liye itna zada rona...baad mai kiya karogi...
Geet got confused at hearing him
Maan: arey jab mai sach mai naraaz hoga to phir to tumhare anso ka darya ban jaeyga na...
Geet smaked his hand which were her on her shoulders and smiled
Geet: Mai dar gay thi kai app kal engagement kai liya mana kar dege...
Maan: Maine tumhara hath thama hai... abh tum itni jaldi Maan singh Khuranna kai hath sai nahi nikal sakti.
Geet smiled
Maan: Acha kuch logi...hmm chalo mai order karta ho...
Geet nodded
Maan called the waiter
Maan: haa 2 coffee and 2 blueberry cheese cake lana...
Geet smiled at that and came back to her true self
Maan: Geet thank God u are back... aaj maine tumhe pehli baar itna vulnerable dekha... aur pata nahi kyun mera dil aur zor say dharakne laga... aik ajeeb si bechani hoa dil mai...Aaj mujhe feel hoa kay tum wohi ho... kyun kay mai tumhe kabhi kisi tension mai nahi dekh sakta... aur abh jab tum smile kar rahi ho... aik sakoon sa hai meray dil mai...
The night before the test when Geet was lost in her books and listening to songs when this one crept on her playlist
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Tune aake bin kiraaye ye jagah li
Kuch keh bhi na saki, ye kaisi bebasi
Yun chupke chupke aaya bin bulaya mehmaan
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya wo (oo oo..)
Dil se khus-phus kya farmaya wo (oo oo..)
Geet smiled at hearing this stanza
Geet(selfthought): Kyun Maan... Kyun Maan... apne meray dil mai aisi jaga lay li kay abh mai chah kar bhi ap ko door nahi kar poyungi.
Ho ho...
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Uff tune aake bin kiraye ye jagah li
Kuch keh bhi na saki, ye kaisi bebasi
Yun chupke chupke aaya bin bulaya mehmaan
Uff.. mere dil mein thodi.. Uff
Mere dil mein... uff uff
Mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Yeah hey... ttu ru ttu...
Kya kya karaogi khwabon mein humse
(khwabon mein humse)
Badloon main rang kitne khamkha
Uda uda ban ke gubbara
Mera dil buddhu bechara
Haule haule tune pukaara
Jahaan bhi wahaan ye jaaye
Chalo chalo yun aankhein meeche
Dheere dheere ye tere peeche
Zara zara ye kheenche kheenche
Dekho na dekho
Geet smiled at this stanza...
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya wo (oo oo..)
Dil se khus-phus kya farmaya wo (oo oo..) {x2}
Kehne ko toh.. (hey)
teri wajah se hai
Saara jahaan.. (hey)
Nayi jagah si hai (x2)
Sabko khabar aur sabko pata bhi hai
Yeh jo hua
Dekho abhi toh chhodo.. tum bhi ye bahana toh
Dil ke badle dil nazraana do (oo oo...)
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya woh (oo oo..)
Dil se khus-phus kya farmaaya woh (oo oo..)
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Tune aake bin kiraye ye jagah li
Kuch keh bhi na saki, ye kaisi bebasi
Yun chupke chupke aaya bin bulaya mehmaan
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Humko na khabar kab kaise aaya wo (oo oo..)
Dil se khus-phus kya farmaya wo (oo oo..) {x2}
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
Uff mere dil mein thodi khaali si jagah thi
As soon as this song ended her cell phone rang
Geet (self-thought) abh mera cell phone kaha chala gaya... kiss ka message aya hoga... zaroor meera ka hoga... puch rahi hogi preparation ka...
Geet: haa mil gaya
Geet swiped her touchscreen inorder to unlock the screen
Geet smiled while looking at the screen
Geet: abh inko yaad aya
Maan had sent her a message
Maan: Best of luck Geet.. U have all my support... If u have any problem do tell me... ghabaranay ki koi baat nahi hai... and nervous na hona... I am sure you will ace this... Aur zada na parho... I don't want my to be fianc to have glasses put on her engagement day with a wink at the end
Geet: Haww... meri nazar bilkul theek hai achz... appko Geet waisay hi milegi jaisay appne choose kit hi...
Maan smiled while reading her reply
After a few seconds another message pooped on the screen
Geet: and thank you so much. Its the support of my closed nes that I need most at this time... Definitely will tell u if I get into trouble... remember me in prayers... with smiley face
Maan: Wiil do.. acha abh so jao... U need to be fresh for the test.. Test ki timing kia hai?

Geet smiled reading that and replied
Thank you Maan... and no... I don't need a mock interview... witha wink at the end
Maan smiled at that
Maan(selfthought): Uff is larki ka kiya karo... abhi tak par rahi hai...
Maan slept after that and Geet too slept after completing her preparation
