Next day…
Geet wakes up to find out that the whole place is buzzing with people too busy decorating and making arrangements for some function…
Geet goes to take a look…
Someone closes her eyes from the back…
Geet: who is it?
“guess karo Geet “
Geet identifies the voice immediately…
Geet: Annieeeee
Yes, it’s Annie…
Annie: hai Geet
Annie hugs Geet…
Annie looks at Geet…
She is not dressed up for the occasion..
Annie: Geet, why aren’t is ready?
Geet: I am
Annie: Geet, it’s time to get ready
Geet is confused…
Geet: Annie, at least you tell me what’s happening here
Annie: you don’t know yet
Geet: I really don’t know
Annie: we are here for the wedding, now is the time for the haldi
Geet: haldi? Whose haldi?
Annie smiles…
Annie: look at this, the wedding is on and the bride is yet to get the invitation! it’s your wedding Geet
Geet: but Annie, I don’t understand, how? Why?
Geet has a lot of questions in her mind….
Annie: I will explain everything later, now where is this Pari?
Pari comes …
Pari: I am here
Pari gives a bag to Geet….
It’s a dress designed by Karan for the haldi…
Annie: now, Geet, make it quick
Geet goes to get ready….
Geet is happy for this is like a dream come true for her, a beautiful wedding with her dream prince, Maan Singh Khurana…
So, this is Maan’s surprise for her….
Geet is getting ready…
She is sitting in front of the mirror…
She is looking like Maan’s dulhan now…
Geet looks at herself in the mirror…
She is happy with her looks, but what would Maan want?
Does his Geet look good, does she look like his Mishty?
Geet wants to meet Maan… she then remembers what Maan said…
If Geet wants to see Maan, she should just close her eyes and think about him..
Geet closes her eyes and sees Maan standing behind her smiling….
Geet: Maaan?
Maan: Haan Geet
Geet: how do I look?
Maan keeps looking at her in the mirror…
Geet: Maan, why are you looking at me like that? Is it the first time you are seeing me?
Maan: this is the first time I am looking at my Geet as my dulhan in reality
Maan places his hands on her shoulder….
Geet can feel his touch…
Geet smiles, she could even imagine the feel of Maan’s touching…
Maan: Geet, open your eyes, don’t you want to see your Maan?
Geet: you will disappear if I open my eyes
Maan: I won’t
Geet opens her eyes and finds Maan standing there…
Geet: aap aagaye?
Maan: it’s our wedding Geet, you think I will be late?
Geet: what’s the necessity for this? Maan and Geet don’t need the formalities
Maan: but I want to see you as my dulhan, I want to have a grand wedding like no one has done, I know you want it too
Geet can’t deny…
She is very happy, Maan knows what she wants without her saying it…
Maan keeps admiring Geet as she lives her dream…
Someone knocks…
Geet turns and looks at Maan…
Maan goes and opens the door…
Maan is the director of this wedding and he knows what he should do, so no one can question his presence at Geet’s room, haina?
Its Dadi ..
Dadi looks surprised…
Dadi: Maan, what are you doing here?
Maan: Dadi?
Dadi: ye, ladhki ka kamra hai beta, aap yahan nahi aa sakte
Maan: are you kidding me Dadi? This is my wedding and it will happen as I want
Dadi: oh no Maan, now you are the groom, so, stay in your limits, now this wedding is our responsibility, and no one knows weddings more than Dadi, humne aap ke baap ki shadhi karwaya hai
Maan can’t say anything now…
He leaves…
Dadi: Geet, now you look like the Khurana bahu, we will proudly take our bahu home in the proper way with everyone’s blessings
Geet: you are great Dadi, you never told me anything about this
Dadi: him Dadi hai
Geet: love you Dadi
Geet hugs Dadi….
Dadi puts nazar ka teekha…
Dadi: aap ki kissi aur ka nahi, par aap ke Maan ka hi Nazar lag jayega
Geet is loving it…
Annie and Pari come…
Annie: Geet, you are ready?
Pari: let’s go
The girls take Geet for the haldi ceremony….
Everyone is waiting for Geet..
Pinky is there… .
Geet sees Arvind’s mom, Pari's mom and Kiran waiting with the haldi…
Now they are all Geet’s family..
First Kiran applies haldi on Geet’s face…
Annie comes next…
Then Dadi applies haldi on Geet’s hands and neck…
Annie’s MIL too comes…
MIL: abhi toh Geet hummari beti hai, I always wanted that Arvind had a sister, now he has got one
She applies haldi with pride…
Then Pari and others come…
Dadi: ye Sheetal Kahan hai?
Sheetal comes with Maan….
As soon as Maan comes Geet gets emotional…
Everything is happening because of him…
Maan holds Geet’s hands tight…
He assures her that he is there for her as her family…
Sheetal and Kiran apply haldi on Maan’s face…
Then they pour water on the bride and groom…
Geet keeps looking at Maan itself….
She can’t believe that all this is happening in her life…
Annie comes …. She sees Geet struggling to hold her tears of happiness…
Annie: Geet, kya hua?
Geet is speechless…
Maan: Geet, now it’s your turn
Geet is still looking at Maan unmoved…
Maan takes Geet’s hands, puts them on the haldi paste that Annie is holding, then he makes Geet apply it on his face….
Maan then applies on Geet’s cheeks…
Annie then pours the water on Geet’s face…
Maan: Geet, ye lo
Maan gives a pichkari…
Geet hits Annie….
The elders make way for the young generation to enjoy…
The music starts…
Everyone joins the act…
Then they dance…
“Pallam pichkari,
Jo tune mujhe mari
Toh seedhi sadhi chori
Sharabi ho gayi “
Geet is enjoying herself…
Maan just wanted this…
He is happy….
