Part – 68
Its all set… Geet can smell the aroma of the delicious food and she can’t wait to dig in…
Pipping hot butter naan is ready, everyone is here except Maan…
Raksha: ye Maan kahan hai?
Rohini looks at Geet… .
Geet: I told him
Raksha: I’ll go get him
Raksha makes a quick wrap with the naan and tandoori chicken… it’s easy that way, she is used to eating like that..
She takes a bite…
Raksha: dad, 7 stars for this, too good
Rohini: what? I made them
Aswin: yes yes, she only feeds the chicken daily, haina homemade organic Rohini chicken?
Geet laughs… : uncle just transformed it into this mouthwatering dish with his magic
Raksha: I like it Geet, dad at last you found a cheer leader
Raksha grabs the wrap and goes to call Maan…
Geet is actually missing this kind of food at KM…
She is enjoying her food…
In a moment Maan comes with Raksha, he is sharing the wrap from Raksha’s hand… .
Maan: hmm, super delicious uncle, you should open a restaurant
Rohini: Maan, I have come to enjoy my retirement, don’t you dare put those unwanted ideas into his stupid mind
Maan: but these are genuinely good, uncle can enjoy his retirement by doing what he enjoys doing
Raksha: you don’t know Maan, he will convert it into a langar
Rohini: we know him better, he has to learn to value hard earned money even if it’s his
Maan: that’s true, I think you will make a better business woman aunty
Rohini: koi shak, everyone knows whi is the better Sharma
Aswin: the Lady always takes the credit in the end, bhagwan, agle janam mein mujhe aurat banadho
Maan: uncle, you should be the first man to make such a wish
Raksha: he is fed up with always being the minority in the family
Aswin: now I have two on my side
Aswin proudly looks at Geet and Maan…
Geet: well said uncle
Geet gives him a high five…
Raksha: man I’m jealous of Geet
The reality is Geet is jealous of her…
Maan has noticed that though Geet pretends to ignore… .
Maan didn’t miss her staring him as he took that bite from Raksha’s hand…
Geet is only watching him and Raksha with her big eyes….
Rohini: why? She is such a darling, I wish I had a daughter like her
Raksha: halo what about me? Am I adopted?
Rohini: subh subh bolo, iss ladhki ko toh muh mein tala lagana padega, darling you are in India
Raksha: but I’m always Raksha
Maan: that’s what I like about you
Geet is burning….
Raksha: but seriously Maan, you were all like you are going to be a saint forever at that time, what happened now? I was desperately looking forward to marrying you this time, I actually agreed to come back for that only
Raksha is holding Maan’s hand as she looks at him and talks…
Geet doesn’t like anything she is hearing…
Maan just doesn’t react…
He can’t say he is more happy now… it might have been better if he remained single…
Raksha: but I like Geet, so I forgive you
Looking at Geet, Maan thinks he should change the topic…
Maan: what about you? Do you like the idea of settling here?
Raksha: oh I just got to know that Geet is your business partner, I am eager to see her work
Rohini: we are going to Geet’s Nana’s place tomorrow, are you coming?
Raksha: why not? Maan, you are coming na?
Maan: haan
Raksha: Then I will also be coming
Geet is fuming already looking at Maan…
Maan thinks it’s better to keep quiet…
After dinner Raksha takes Maan for a walk…
Geet talks with uncle for a while and goes to the room…
She is thinking about what those do must be doing out there….
She finds it hard to kill every minute… every second looks like a minute..
Geet keeps watching the time and the door alternately…
But neither the clock seem to be ticking nor there is any sign of Maan…
Its almost eleven.. what are they taking about at this hour?
Raksha has loads of stuff to share with Maan…
Geet doesn’t bother about anything, she wants Maan to come back immediately…
Geet is waiting all night… she is so frustrated… she keeps walking to the balcony and looking down to find Maan…
They have gone far… Geet walks up and down the stairs as if she wants to go fetch Maan by grabbing his shirt…
She then gets restless… she tries to sleep but how could she?
She hears footstep and gets out of bed to look at the door…
Its Maan only…
Maan is not surprised to see her awake… he knows she can’t sleep while he was with Raksha…
The lights are still on and Geet stares Maan as if he has committed a crime…
Maan tries to ignore her as he has decided to stay away from further mess, he switches off the lights and goes to the couch….
Geet keeps sitting and watching him for a while before she goes back to sleep…
Maan can sense the hotness of her angry red eyes hitting him…
Maan pretends to be sleeping to escape….
