Part - 12
Present times.... Mumbai....
Maan is happy to work with Dev though he is not a fan of him...
Everyone knows the reason... His wife Geet is an active partner in his business.... Maan gets to meet her finally... It's not that he is desperate.. you know MSK' s big ego...
Maan couldn't stop himself from thinking about his past encounters with Geet.....
There is something about her that disturbs him a lot... He is pained to see her hurt... he just wants to put a smile on her face... He only wishes to see her happy free of any burdens just like any other girl her age....
What Geet likes the most is the way he takes his own rights in her life like he is not a stranger but someone very close to her... When her own family doesn't understand her feelings here is someone whom she can rely like family..
Maan gets ready to go meet this Dev Khanna in his office... He has promised to give them the office space for KC.... It's an official meeting, so nothing personal should hinder the launch of KC...
Maan is here for Vicky and not for anyone else... Haina?
Maan calls Vicky to give the news of the availability of an office space and that he is sure that it would be finalized...
Vicky: halo bro, how are you? It's such a pleasant surprise, you are back? I knew you can't stay away from us, and
Vicky pauses... He knows Maan hates to revisit the past... But Vicky always considered Geet as his babhi.. you know it's like they are destined to be together...
Vicky is with his new bride Tara at his in-laws enjoying their hospitality for their new Damad...
He doesn't have any knowledge about Maan's change of plans...
Maan: Vicky, I know you are enjoying your married life, I didn't want to disturb you, but it's your business, you should know everything about it, I'm here only for the launch and then it's up to you, I know you would smash it
Vicky quickly assumes that it should be one of dadi's plans and he has to play with it accordingly... so she successfully stopped Maan... She kept looking forward to this day for so long....
Dadi is the official match maker of the khurana pariwar... Be it Arjun or Tara, it's always dadi's choice and it never fails... She picked Yamuna for Mohan... Only this Madan's different and Maan is his blood.. he should be different too... haina?
Maan: Vicky, are you listening?
Vicky: haan bro, I know my bro, you are the best, I think I can enjoy my vacation, haina?
Maan too thinks that Vicky should be kept out of this... He is lucky and he should enjoy his newly married life...
Maan: ok Vicky, you carry on, bye
Vicky: thanks bro, bye
Maan calls Adi but Adi is struck with M.bhai.... Maan can't wait and he goes to the United builders office....
Dev is happy to see them... He wants Geet to meet them... He calls Geet who is busy with the document works... Dev is always a step ahead..
Dev: Maan, I want to meet someone special, she is the real force behind our business, I'm just the namesake boss, be it business or family women are better bosses, I think you would agree
How would Maan agree, he is always his own boss, business or family it's always been his call... That's what has made all the difference... Geet is with Dev for a reason....
Maan: let's go see the spot
Dev smiles...: Ok then, if you insist
Dev makes a call and someone comes...
Maan is not surprised as he knew he would definitely meet her but Geet is shocked to see Maan instead of Vicky....
Dev: Geet, meet Maan, from KC
Geet: welcome to United builders Mr. Maan
Maan: Maan Singh Khurana
Dev is puzzled looking at their formal greetings.... Maan is like that only... He is always the no nonsense guy just focusing on his business... But Dev is the opposite... He likes to make friends with everyone... Be it the mailman or the watchman... He is always approachable and friendly... That's his business mantra.. whoever meets him once would always want to continue their bonding with him.. this has given him a lot of loyal clients...
Dev: Geet, Maan is our friend, your can call him Maan, haina Maan?
Maan: I don't have any preferences
Geet: that's your problem
Dev: come on guys, this is not happening, I have a meeting with the event manager, Geet he's all yours now
Geet is stunned.... So history repeats... Geet and the MSK... This time she is not that clueless abala nari that Maan could take for granted.... Now he would meet the real Geet....
Dev leaves and it's just the two of them now....
Maan: I don't have a problem, I think you might have a problem like always
Geet knows what he is referring to...
Geet: we'll find out who has a problem soon
Geet goes to find the driver but Dev has gone with the driver... He hates driving in the peak hours of Mumbai...
She has to go with Maan.... Dev keeps calling Geet often to discuss about the birthday party...
Maan is not happy to see her chatting with Dev every couple of minutes... She used to kill him with her silence but now she is so happy talking to this Dev non stop.... It's not about Geet, it's Dev, he can't stop talking.... That's his character...
Maan: I don't think you are interested in coming, you should have gone with Dev
Maan can't keep quiet....
Geet: it's not about my interest, it's about Dev, I'm here only for him
Maan thinks..... I know Geet... it's about Dev and Dev only, I'm also not here for you....
Geet now prefers talking to Dev... She knows that it's not getting any better talking with the MSK....
Geet: Dev can you share the location details?
Geet could easily be the navigator but she doesn't like the driver much...
Dev: Geet you know the route
Geet: Dev, your friend is new to Mumbai, you better send him the location details
Dev sends Maan the details... Now Maan understands that Geet is not comfortable talking to him... It hurts, there was a time when she enjoyed listening to him.....
They reach the site and Geet gets off quickly and goes in not waiting for Maan... She pretends to be busy talking on the phone while their manager comes and takes Maan to the office space that Dev wants KC to take...
Maan also likes the place... It's in prime location and it would be impossible for them to get a better place...
Maan tells the manager that he is ready to take it and asks him to proceed with the formalities...
The manager then takes Maan to the reception where Geet is waiting with the documents...
She signs the agreement for United builders while Maan signs for KC...
She didn't even think for a second or talk with Dev before signing... It's the kind of faith that Dev has in Geet... That faith that the MSK lacks...
Maan is surprised by her invincible command over the proceedings... This is not the Geet he knows... She is not that Geet easily influenced by others... Specially Maan, haina?
Thanks to the great MSK, She has learnt a lot from her experiences....
Geet prefers to stay back while Maan leaves.... Geet takes a taxi to go back.....
Maan is shocked to see the new version of Geet.... But still he couldn't stop admiring her... That's what she is capable of... Geet has the power to keep him captivated by her sheer presence.... There is something intoxicating about her eyes...
Though she tries to shield her feelings with that attitude her eyes always keep Maan entertained with their expressions... he could see the same sparks in them everytime their eyes meet... She doesn't hate him totally, a part of the Geet Handa who fell head over heels for the MSK is still there lingering...
Maan knows that his Geet is not lost completely but is only struggling to beat this new Geet.... This is not the Geet that Maan likes... He wants his Geet back who was ready to fight for her happiness... He just hates this Geet who is fake and she is the one Geet has deliberately created over the years to hide her real self... But Maan is here to unmask her reality... Haina?
