Geet was shocked.
Maan was sitting at the bar counter, lost in some thoughts when Aditya came and patted on his shoulder which broke his trance. "What's wrong..? Thinking about the girl..?
"No.. Not really. Maan replied having another sip.
"Oh.. Not really..? Which means little bit you are thinking about her. He teased him.
"Shut up Adi. Maan simply glared at him.
"What's wrong..? Are you nervous..? Or is there anything else, which is bothering you..? Aditya asked seeing his brother tensed.
"I don't know Adi.. Is it right time to get married..? Yes, dad was right.. I am well settled now, but you know me.. He paused while Aditya was trying to get the exact problem of him. "You know from college days, many girls tried to be with me but I never allowed any girl in my life, I kept myself away from such relations and now suddenly she will become my wife.. Isn't sound strange..?
"Who told you to get marry with this girl only? Uncle asked you to get introduce with her. And Maan.. Arranged marriage isn't a bad idea. You know mom dad had an arranged marriage.. But look at them.. They are so happy with each other. They are the best companion for each other. Aditya convinced Maan and tried to make him believe in arrange marriage. "I know, at start you both will not be comfortable.. As you both will not know about other one's taste.. Sometimes you will have arguments over things but slowly.. With time you will both explore each other. You know Maan.. In an arranged marriage, there's a good thing that you can explore your partner everyday.. That you will get to know something or the other thing about her everyday. It's not so compliment what you are thinking. Aditya finished giving a assuring pat on Maan's shoulder and saw Maan who was watching him awful. "What..? Aditya flicked his eye brow.
"Tell me one thing, have you done PHD in this concept or do you have experience? Maan narrowed his eyebrows at him.
"You find this interesting right..? Just listen to my advice, I assure you.. You won't face any losses here. Aditya said with a smile.
"Maan..? They heard Mr Khurana calling them. Taking a deep breath, Maan started walking towards his parents who were talking with a family.
"I think, they're iyers. Aditya whispered when Maan composed himself and scanned his parent's surround to see Geet but she was not present there.
"Maan.. Meet Mr Handa and his wife. Mr Khurana introduced.
"Hello sir..?! Maan shook hand with him just then other business associate came there and started talking with Maan, meanwhile his father continue their conversation with Handas.
"Arey Mr Handa where's your daughter..?
"There she is coming.. As Mr Handa said, this was audible to Maan who moved his eyes at the entrance and saw her walking in wearing a yellow saree, her hair was full open and in breeze they were dancing. Geet tucked the strand of hair behind her ear and Maan got a perfect view of her, he was mesmerized by her beauty that he couldn't move his eyes from her.
"Maan..! Aditya slightly shook him and gave him a teaseful smile.
"She's my daughter Geet. Geet gave them a smile as she doesn't know any of them. "Geet.. He's YashRaj Singh Khurana, I told you about him.. Remember..!
"Oh yeah.. She smiled at them. "Dad talked about you a lot. Nice to meet you uncle.
"... and he's Mean Singh Khurana. His son. Mr Handa introduced Maan with her.
"Hello Mr Khurana.. Geet greeted.
"Hello.. He smiled.
"Mr Handa, I think we should give them their time, after all what will these youngsters do with the senior citizens..! Mr Khurana laughed and both the families left them.
There was awkward moment for sometimes as they don't know each other and suddenly their parents left them alone. They exchanged a smile to each other and finally Maan broke the silence, "So, what do you do..?
"Studying MBA.. Final year..!
"Oh nice..
"Yeah..! And what you do..? Asking the question, Geet realized he's a businessman, she bit her lips sensing her mistake, Maan grinned. "I'm sorry. I asked you a silly question. She said.
"It's okay. Maan chuckled.
"Oho..! Sorry to interrupt you both. Aditya came to them. "Ugh.. Maan.. Mr Dubey has came to meet you.
"Yeah. He looked at Geet who simply allowed him to leave giving him a smile.
Maan was busy with his associates while Geet was standing alone at a corner, Mrs Khurana came to her. "Hello beta..! Geet looked up and smiled at her.
"Did my son talk with you..? Hope, he didn't make you bore.
"No.. No.. Geet smiled.
"Maan is like this only.. He always kept himself busy with his business, but I wish he will change after marriage. Geet smiled hearing her. "After all.. He's getting a beautiful wife like you. As she said, Geet gets stunned. "I'm happy that you're coming at our house.
Geet was completely shocked, she didn't expect this from her parents that they would hide such huge thing from them, seeing her mother coming there, Geet left from there without saying anything.
Geet was sitting alone at the corner when Maan saw her, he could sense that she was upset for something, he walked to her and asked, "Is everything alright?
She looked up at him when Maan saw her teary eyes but before he could say something, Geet gets up, "I need to be alone for some time, please excuse me..! And she left from there, Geet looked on confuse.
"Geet? Mr Handa dragged her at the corner, "What was behaviour you had done with Maan?
".. And what had you both done with me mumma? She asked with teary eyes. "You fixed my marriage with a guy and didn't even bother to inform me..
"We didn't fix it my girl. She replied.
"But you brought me here for this right?
"Geet, Maan is nice person. Mrs Handa tried to convince her, but Geet was hell angry on her parents that she didn't want to hear her. "I don't care mumma.. You both hurt me badly. I didn't expect this from you. She cried and left from there.
Maan saw her leaving, though their conversation wasn't audible to him but he realized they were arguing on something and that was related to him as he saw her talking with his mother before. He was eager to know the reason, so he followed her.

Geet was sitting on a bench outside. Maan saw her from far that she was crying, first he hesitated to go near her but later gathering enough courage, he approached to her. Sensing someone near her, Geet wiped her tears and looked up, "You?
"May I..? Maan seeks permission from him when she looked away. He slowly took sit beside her, "I saw you were talking with my mom.. If she told something wrong to you then I'm.. But before Maan could complete, Geet turned at him stating, "I don't want to marry you.
Maan had lost of words, he didn't know how to react on this. "I didn't know about this. Papa didn't inform me about you, if I would know it then I won't come here ever.
"I'm sorry Miss Geet.. I thought..
"It's okay Mr Khurana.. But I can't marry you.
"I understand, please don't worry.. If you aren't ready for this alliance then no one will pressurize you. That's my promise. He smiled at her. "Now stop crying.. Tears don't suit on you. Geet chuckled and wiped her tears.
"You're very nice Mr Khurana.
"Tell me something new. He winked at her with a laugh, Geet was amazed seeing him so casual with this rejection. "I never expect this. She stated.
"What?
"That you would take it so casually.
He sighed, "Miss Geet, yeh toh zaroori nahi ki hum jisse pasand kare woh bhi humein pasand kare. Geet lowered her eyes in guilt that she understood Maan liked her. Maan saw her pale face, "..And you know I am very good looking guy that anyone will be ready to marry me, exceptional you. He tried to cheer her mood.
"Yeah.. The girl will be lucky who will marry you. She replied with a smile.
"Now, if your problem gets over, shall we go in..? My associates are waiting for me inside. Maan said.
"Yeah sure.
As they entered Mrs Handa came to them suspicious. Maan excused and joined his team whereas Mrs Handa talked with Geet who informed her everything which happened outside. "I hope your papa won't get angry on you. Mrs Handa said.

At Khurana house,
Maan was smocking standing in the balcony when his grandma walked in calling his name, as he heard her, he quickly dropped the smoke in a trash and walked in, "Yes dadi.?
"You're again having smoke..? She angrily asked. "Now, my daughter-in-law is coming, she will bring you on right path.
"Dadi.. He held her hand and made her sit on the bed.
"What's wrong puttar? She asked worried. "Didi you like her?"
"Dadi.. I won't marry her. His statement made her shocked. "Why? What's wrong? She asked worried.
"Nothing dadi.. I don't think we can make a perfect couple together. He said without having an eye contact with his mother.
"Maan.. To make a perfect couple, you both have to give some time to each other. You can't decide in one meeting. She tried to convince him to change his decision but Maan was firm at his decision.
"Dadi.. You know.. Once I said no.. That means NO. He said adamant.
"But puttar, your eyes aren't telling the same. She said making him face her.
"What are you saying dadi..! He looked away.
"Puttar, I am your dadi, you can't lie to me. I know you liked her. But something is bothering you. Tell me puttar what's bothering you.
"Nothing like that.
"Okay. If you're not willing to say then fine. She got up from her sit when Maan held her hand, "Why do you always blackmail me emotionally? He made her sit and explained everything to her. "Now you tell me, what would I do in that moment?
"No, you had done right but they should drop the proposal before asking her daughter.. She was quite angry on Handa's.
"Let it be dadi..
"Are you fine? She asked caressing his face.
"Yeah.. Of course..! Your Maan isn't so weak that he can't handle a rejection. I am completely fine. He said giving a hug to his grandma.

"Geet, it had been one hour, you locked yourself, now open the door. Mr Handa banged on the door but Geet didn't open it. "Geet..?
"Leave me alone papa. I won't talk with you. She shouted from inside.
"I can explain dear, please open it. He requested.
"What you can explain? She asked opening the door.
"Calm down. He walked in the room and made her sit. "Geet, I always want to see you happy. Like us, I always want a guy in your life who can pamper you, who can love you more than us, who can keep you happy forever and I thought Maan is perfect.
"But you didn't bother to ask me what I want..! How could you take such a huge decision about my life without my consent..? I can't marry him.
"Why? He asked.
"I don't know but I can't. That's it. She said her final decision.
"If its your final decision then listen to me very carefully.. I will make you get marry with him only. He said angrily and was going to leave when Geet yelled, "I can't marry him because I love someone. Mr Handa gets shocked.
