Hello my awesome readers!!! 🤗

Thank you for all the warm and fuzzy response to my previous updates 😃

I have read every comment more than once 😳 although couldn't reply to each and every one of them. It's is really interesting to read your perspective about the incidents and the reception of the characters. I know I haven't delivered much Maaneet yet but like I said, you need to be patient and it will all come together in TIME 😉

Now, Idid promise frequent updates but couldn't deliver. No excuses are being made. Today it will be compensated by a double update 😊

Here we go then...

DISCLAIMER:

1)This is an independent FF and has no links to the previous FF "Myth : A Walk into the past"

2) This is a very slow paced FF at least for the first few parts. It isn't a Maan meets Geet and falls in love Mahiii story. Not at least for the first few parts that I have planned 😆

For a story that has a backdrop of time to it, requires a certain build up. So it will be a slow and steady process. But I do promise to be regular. Please be patient with me 😳

3) Although there are no definite movie plot which the FF is based upon, chances are I might add some touch here and there from movies if I feel like it 😳

4) All the historical events, clans, places or practices mentioned in this FF are merely elements of fiction for the sake of the story and is not based on any real life incidents. If any such thing is found, then it must be purely coincidental!

PART 5

In the garden of memory,

in the palace of dreams...that

is where you and I shall meet

- Alice through the looking glass

On the first floor of MK's Convoy was a fine and extensive dining room for ten to twenty people which was let out for some special occasions or often used as the tasting room where all the chefs presented their dishes for tasting. A week after that eventful night, this room looked like a funeral. Adi sat right next to the central table with his nervous face, Sasha sat opposite to Adi on the other side of the table with a big gloomy face and then there was a shivering Tasha who looked like she was about to cry. However, all their attention was on the centre of the table where sat a man with face as still and hard as stone and his demeanor so cold that people next him could feel the chill.

His eyes were focused on the table where a red file was kept open. It was the result of the food sample that was sent to the lab by Maan himself who stayed true to his word to Geet. Maan read the report himself much to his disbelief and no announcement was necessary to tell the others that the results were positive as it was written all over his face. There was white pepper in that sample!

Before anyone started Sasha stood up with an apologetic face, "MK, I am so sorry. I am the one to blame here. I didn't know that it had white pepper in it."

Maan glared at her as soon as she spoke the words "white pepper" and Sasha looked down at the floor regretfully. "I trained Taasha to do the dish and I gave her instructions to follow the recipe to the T but I never realised when she got creative on her own and added a tinge of that!"

She need not dare to say that word again.

"You are telling me this now!", Maan roared slapping his hands on the file at the table. "Now, after a week when I can see the results for myself. After your showdown with our customer! Threatening to send her to jail after almost trying to kill her friend!"

His words boomed all around the room making everyone's heart shake with fear. Adi shifted in his seat uncomfortably and Tasha already had tears in her eyes.

"MK, Honestly I didn't know. I mean, your recipe is always so perfect. I only fought for what I thought was right. If you want I will apologize to that lady today itself." Sasha managed to reply.

"You should have done it that night itself! As long as we don't have proof otherwise, the customer is always right, am I clear?", questioned Maan.

"Yes sir!", came the reply from his brigade.

Now his attention went to the tiny girl seated next to Sasha, the new trainee.

"Miss Tasha"he called out.

Tasha stood up nervously. "What were you thinking?", he asked in calm tones.

"Ji sir?", Tasha mumbled.

The next moment she heard him barking, "What the hell were you thinking tampering with MY recipe!"

Tasha replied nervously, "Sir, I only thought that it would be innovative if added a little ingredient. I meant no harm. I only wanted to cook well"

She managed to say that much somehow.

Maan paused looking at the nervous trainee for a moment and finally replied in a low tone which was calm as sea yet cold and final as ice, "If you want to try something new or "think" or "be innovative" you are free to do it. In your own kitchen. May be you can bring that recipe here on the tasting table. And if we like it we will put on the menu as a week day special with your name on it. But this is MY KITCHEN! Maan's kitchen! NO ONE tampers with my recipe! You cook only what I want you to cook, right Miss?"

Tasha nodded vigorously. As they all rushed to leave, Maan called out once more, " Sasha, Tasha"

"Sir..", Tasha adjusted her pony tail while Sasha answered in her most polite voice, "Yes MK?"

"Remember, there wont be a second time if you mess up!"

Both of them nodded and ran for their lives. Adi waited for them to leave and then asked Maan patiently, "What about that woman, sir? The doctor?"

"Give her number to me. I will personally deal with her", he ordered.

That's how Maan ended up dialing her number for the third time and there was no answer. Enraged he was about to disconnect the call when there came a husky voice from the other end, "Hello.."

Maan's brows softened involuntarily. He knew that voice like the back of his hand. The last time they spoke both were clouded with anger but this was the first time the were talking to each other with their rational minds.

"Is this Dr. Geet Handa?", he asked as softly as he could.

Her lips quivered as she heard that name from those lips. It was a familiar voice, she felt.

"Yes, who is this?", she asked a bit shy now.

"This is from MK's Convoy. I am Ma.." Before he could finish Maan heard her reply from the other end. "That's why I was thinking, this voice sounded so familiar. You are the boss man right? Mr. MK of MK's?"

He smiled as he heard her go on and on. "MK of MK's" It felt good to his ears.

Maan reproached himself, Get your thoughts straight Maan and be done with this.

He cleared his throat and talked all business like, "Listen Miss, as I had promised I ran the tests and as it turns out you were right. There was white pepper in that sample which caused an allergy to your friend. Now I cannot tell you how much I regret the inconvenience my team's mistake cost your friend and you as well. I truly am sorry and would like to compensate in any way you wish."

He gave his custom template apology speech which he had prepared right from the day one of his venture. Sadly, this was the first time he had to use it after MK's were a reality.

But never in his dreams did he think about a customer who would give him a reply as weird as Geet's, "Compensate? You mean you would get rid of me by simply paying me off for a Raj Kachori?"

He rolled his eyes. This woman really was something else,"I didn't mean that Miss"

Geet chuckled, "I know. Just kidding. We don't want any compensation. You kept your word and apologised. That is enough. In fact my friend is the one who got sick. She didn't even want me to go after this"

Maan didn't know what came over him. Before he could think he heard himself say, "If not then, you should at least dine at my place some evening. I will host you myself"

Aah the famous chef hosting her and NT. Geet had a wicked look in her eyes. Very well, if he insisted so much, she was bound to make use of it. She played with her hair as she challenged playfully, "Well Mr. MK, you won't just host then. I want you to personally cook for us!"

Maan was amused despite the irritation he felt at her commanding ways. Does she know how much he charged for a single dish alone if he personally cooked them?

"Fair enough. As you wish ma'm. The ball is in your court after all", His eyes went wide as he heard himself. This was supposed to be a formal apology and now what was actually happening?

"Remember, no white pepper this time", teased Geet.

"Oh, I will keep that in mind", she heard him say gleefully.

"Fine. I will let you know a convenient date"

"Sure. So we have a date then"

Maan bit his lip as soon as he said that. The playful smile in her face vanished and Geet blushed profusely.

Maan somehow gained his senses back "I mean..call me as soon as you have a date available"

"Sure", she mumbled awkwardly.

Maan hit his head as the line went off awkwardly "Date? seriously Maan!".

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

That night he twisted and turned in his sleep. He could see the bluish glow in the water as a bright light fell on it. His eyes roamed restlessly and calmed down as he heard that laughter. A raspy laughter somewhere far. His lips curved into a smile as he saw her vague form. Her face was too bright to be visible but he could see those almond brown eyes smiling down at him with emotions deeper than his reach, her face still hidden by the glow. He waved his hand to reach out for her and the golden brown hair, smooth as silk, caressed his fingers. In the bright light he saw her running ahead of him unaware of the mud and dirt around them. He inhaled her scent. It was raw and earthy, with a hint of almond oil perhaps but the rest was just her scent. As she ran with her back facing him, he could see how her milky white back contrasted with the doris of her choli. Oh, he so wanted to untie them in a single flick. He could feel the arousal building inside him. He felt the raw earth beneath them as he pinned her soft form beneath him. The heat between them was so much. Maan couldn't wait to ravish the beauty. Just as he began to feel her soft lips on his, he heard her moan in that raspy voice, "Maaan" and he woke with a jolt panting and aching. He ran his fingers over his hair confused at his aroused self. This never happened to him. May be all the talks about marriage and his past was catching up to him, thought Maan. He got up from his bed and walked towards the gym. He started working out his martial arts movements in the middle of the night just to relieve of the tension that gripped his body.

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

Savitri Devi didn't sit idle the moment she reached Khurana mansion even though she was on bed rest. She had gathered a little bit of information about the doctor girl and started her investigation. Finally, one of her friends got back to her after a week.

"Yes Padmini, tell me what you know of this girl then", Savitri Devi asked over the phone.

"Savitri, don't you remember Anika, the Khanna's daughter who was with us on that Ganesh pooja last year", Padmini started with her gossiping tone in high mode.

"Anika who?",Dadi was confused.

"Arey the one who got married to that very tall guy's brother"

"Uffo..Padmini do you even have any names?" she was impatient now.

"ummm...wo...arey ha Handa brothers! Anika got married to the younger one"

"What has that to do with Dr. Geet?",Savitri Devi had no clue.

"Anika's sister-in-law, that's her, Geet Handa. The only sister to Handa brothers. Anika says she is like a princess. Her brothers will bring the sky down if she wants! Very rich people!".

Savitri Devi was not happy with what she heard. "Must be a pampered child then! But she didn't look like one."

"Oh no no..Surely she is pampered but not a brat. Whatever I heard it is all good."

"Very well then. We shall proceed the talks", said Savitri quite pleased with herself.

Here is the second update.

Now I want detailed reviews for both the parts.

Tell me the things you like and dislike 😳

DISCLAIMER:

1)This is an independent FF and has no links to the previous FF "Myth : A Walk into the past"

2) This is a very slow paced FF at least for the first few parts. It isn't a Maan meets Geet and falls in love Mahiii story. Not at least for the first few parts that I have planned 😆

3) Although there are no definite movie plot which the FF is based upon, chances are I might add some touch here and there from movies if I feel like it 😳

PART 6

There is a love I reminisce,

like a seed

I've never sown.

Of lips that I am yet to kiss,

And eyes not met

my own.

Hands that wrap around my wrists,

and arms

that feel like home.

I wonder how it is I miss

these things

I've never known.

- A Stranger, Lang Leav

At the HANDA's,

It was breakfast time and the Handas were all sitting impatiently in front of the dining table. Now, the Handa brothers could take on the entire world but today they were nervous. Perhaps there was only one thing in the world that they were afraid of and that was Geet Handa's cooking skills. The girl might be an expert in dealing with complex nervous system but her culinary skills were not much better than a two year old. Anika was having her share of fun looking at the terrified Handas. Sanvi and Tanmay looked as if they were about to cry.

Anika whispered to them lovingly, "Don't worry my sweetus, I have already ordered pancakes from McD"

Sanvi hggged her, "Oh mumma, you are a saviour"

Anika kissed both her kids on cheek and decided to enjoy the Handa showdown.

Arjun whispered, "Anika, did you already tell her? Is that why she is trying to punish us by cooking herself?"

Anika controlled her giggle, "I didn't tell her anything! She had it in her head since yesterday. She forbade me from entering the kitchen. Some kind of cooking frenzy!"

Rana, "Well, whatever she makes, pretend that everyone likes it"

Anika shook her head. As always, Rana would happily eat a nuclear bomb if his little sister served him.

Finally came in the princess with a closed bowl in her hand. Everyone waited for the missile to launch.

Geet smiled sheepishly looking at the expectant eyes in front of her not realising how hard it was for them to fake it, even the kids!

"Heyy..you all look so happy!!..ehemm..the plan was to make grilled sandwiches but..ummm somehow they got a little..you know just a little more brown than I wanted them to be. So lets call it roasted sandwich with stuffing then. Enjoy your treat!!"

She kept the bowl in front of them. Arjun was the first to jump in and Rana followed taking as many sandwiches as possible for themselves.

"Wow, looks like you really want to taste that. Save me a few", saying that she decided to join them and took one when both brothers shouted in unison, "Nooo"

Geet was confused, "Whaat?"

"You can't eat that", they said in chorus

"Why dadho?", Geet asked innocently.

Arjun was quick with a reply, "Because we want those too."

Rana chimed in "Yeah, we are very hungry. Give us that Geet"

"Ok I will take one then", said Geet not fully convinced.

"But I want that one", Anika was the one to help them.

"What? But I want to know how they are! And..you guys are acting weird!"

Saying that she took a crunching bite and cringed as the burnt sandwich seeped into her taste buds.

"urghhh...yuck!..you are eating that! how?" She threw away that one piece and looked at her brothers accusingly.

"Come on now little one, we didn't want to upset you!", Rana pleaded.

"Yeah, besides after eating Anika's food for so long my taste buds are dead anyway", Arjun teased and Anika whacked him playfully with a shy smile.

Sanvi and Tanmay joined too "Mumma said we will get pan cakes if we take a bite of bua's yucky food!"

Anika was mortified, "I didn't say yucky!" She eyed her kids.

Tanmay declared innocently, " But they are yucky!"

"Thank you for telling me the truth bacha", and then she stormed upstairs to her bedroom.

Both Rana and Arjun looked clueless. It was then Anika stood up, "Arjun tell the servants to bring those pancakes, will you? I will talk to her"

Geet was sitting on her bed hugging her knees her face flushed with anger or rather disappointment.

Anika smiled, "Come on Geet, now don't look so bashful. You know you are good at a lot of things but cooking?" she shook her head, "not your forte!"

Geet pouted, "They could have just told me that bhabhi!"

"Even I lied, didn't I?" Anika took a few careful steps and sat at the foot of her queen sized bed. "Technically you should be mad at me!"

Geet sighed, "Bhabhi! I am not angry. I am just disappointed that they didn't tell me. How am I to trust their words again now? I will always wonder if they are flattering me!"

"Did you not know how bad your food was when you made those poori cholays last Diwali?" Anika reminded her.

Geet remembered very well. They were awfully drenched in oil and the cholay had so much salt one could mistake the gravy for sea, isn't that what Arjun bhai said afterwards!

"Yeah, but they didn't lie. They said it was bad but they would have it anyway because I made it. This is different. They jumped on it as if I were some great chef" As soon as the word chef came out she was reminded of Maan. Well now is not a good time to pop him into her memory, so she brushed aside his thoughts.

"That's because they don't want you to be upset today", informed Anika.

Geet had a puzzled look on her face, "Why? what's special today?"

She racked her brain.

Anika snuggled closer to her and took her hands in hers. "Listen Geet, I will be straight forward here. There is a very good proposal for you and we all want you to meet this guy and his wonderful family. No one is trying to impose anything on you and your brothers warned me against swaying your opinion anyway but I want you to know that the groom and his family are really nice people. I know them personally. They are kind of family friends. You wont feel much different there than this, you know what I mean, don't you?"

Geet sat there dazed. She had never dated anyone in life before. Studies were always her priority. And her job was so demanding that she didn't have any time to think about anything else. But at the end of the day she was just a regular twenty six year old with her own fears and apprehensions. Such a serious topic as marriage weighed heavy in her heart. How would she know if the guy was really nice? And if he was would that be enough? How would she know if their thoughts matched?

She had so many questions. Anika sensed her fears and gently touched her cheek ,"If you have any kind of doubts, talk to me Geet. We are sisters for life. You have given me such a wonderful family. I feel now it's my turn to give you back one!"

Geet smiled nervously. "It's all so fast, bhabhi. I don't even know the guy. How could I say anything?"

Anika smiled, "That is totally normal. Nothing will happen without your permission. I have him on my facebook. Will show you his pic."

Geet rolled her eyes, "What will a pic do bhabhi?"

Anika laughed, "I know but I was hooked the moment I saw your bhai's picture."

"ohooo..", teased Geet. Anika blushed, "naa seriously Geet. There is this Shankar pooja at their native place."

"Whose native place?", Geet inquired

"The Khuranas. It's their son for whom they are asking your hand for. Savitri dadi called me day before yesterday and I did my own little research. Your brothers seemed convinced. Her youngest grandson Dev Khurana is the heir to the whole Khurana empire. They are into this land acquisition and construction business. Very clean record. They have a goodwill."

Geet nodded, "yeah, I think I have heard of them somewhere." She racked her brain. The name felt so familiar. Khuranas!

"Savitri Devi Khurana, you mean?", Geet asked suddenly excited.

Anika was happy to see her curiosity, "Yes,well do you know her?"

"She is my patient and she did mention about a grandson", Geet recalled the events of the night and suddenly the whole restaurant episode came to her mind. She smiled.

"Does that mean a yes?", Anika asked hopefully.

"What? no bhabhi..it's just I don't know the guy at all"

"Yeah yeah, we have a solution for that. Savitri dadi has invited us to their hometown,Samaypur for this Shankar puja. It is a ten day event."

"Ten days! No way!" shrieked Geet.

"Calm down sherni. Dev will be there for the last five days. Apparently he is very busy with some upcoming abroad project. So you will have to spare five days next week. Is that ok?"

Geet looked thoughtful. If she declined the whole matter would end here but she didn't want to disappoint her brothers and besides who knows this Dev Khurana might be the right guy. Aaah but that MK gentleman was waiting for a date this weekend. She would have to postpone that. Uffo Geet, you are transferring your regular patients to Dr. Martin and all you worry about is postponing a sorry dinner at a random hotel!

Geet didn't know. It was perfect from what Anika was describing. She had promised her dadho to trust him, didn't she? But what was in this heart of hers that longed for something. Something she didn't know where to place, what to name. Yet it was as if she was turning away from something deep, something strange yet so familiar that she could not put into place. Like a distant dream! But this was life, real and present, right in front of her and these were people who loved her truly. She dare not disappoint them.

"Fine, I think I can manage five days. It will be a mini vacation for me too." She said still looking distant and then it dawned her, "but how do my brothers feel about me staying at a stranger's place in a strange village trying to get to know a guy I hardly know and am supposed to marry?"

Anika gulped. Oh dear.. She smiled already embarrassed as she announced, "We are all coming with you!"

Geet sank back to her pillow, "Great!!"

She turned her head to the door and called out, "Dadho, bhai come inside! I know your necks must be paining sticking your ears to my door like that!"

And then they came bursting in with happy smiles all over their face. Geet felt happy seeing them like that. How could she not give them that joy?

Arjun jumped on the bed and pulled her cheeks, "My little sis! When did you grow up old enough to get married?"

She frowned, "I am no getting married yet. I said I would give it a chance!"

Rana's deep eyes gleamed with joy. He kept his hand affectionately on her head, "Geet I am so proud of you. You never let us down. We are lucky to have you"

She hugged her dadho, "naa dadho I am the luckiest to have you all"

Rana hugged her back and soon Arjun joined them and Anika piled on Arjun and then came running little Sanvi and Tanmay.

Geet felt her life was complete and couldn't ask for more.

Little did she know that this mini vacation of hers was going to turn her world upside down and nothing would be the same anymore.

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

PRECAP: Geet meets Dev! 😳

😈 So you thought it would be that simple? Dadi would take a proposal to the Handas and they will all live happily ever after 😆 Actually someone in the comments mentioned that "Was it going to be that easy" whoever that person was knows me too well 😳 Uh..uh.. it is just the beginning. Nothing will be easy from here on. After all I did promise a hystorical FF remember? 😉

Waiting to know about your reaction...

Shower those cussing words you have for me 🤣
