AT TEA HOUSE –XIII
PART 1
Maan Singh Khurrana came out from his car….along side his parents and his...
Annie (Maan’s sis): Bhai am so excited to see you’re wouldbe… Are you ????
Maan: No, not at all…coz my all excitement quota are filled by you… (His sarcastic response made her pout her lips and look at their parents for any support who were laughing more than their son)
Priya (Maan’s mother): Lets get going kids…We are getting late… and yes Maan…if you give me green signal, then I will do roka ceremony today itself…. I already like my Bahu…I have decided she will be the one and only Mrs MSK…and no one else…
Yash (Maan’s Father): Arey arey hold on…give a break….First let him see the girl…and then take any decision ok…
Annie: wese mama, where did you see this girl before???
Priya: I have seen her in one of the events …She was introduced by her mother… I liked her…and when we got into each other, we got to know…its your father’s business colleague’s daughter…and still single… so we caught up with them…and today we are officially seeing her ….And am very much sure, she is perfect for our Maan…
Maan: Now, can we stop talking we already are in and I can see them at the welcome… They are waving Dad…
Yash: Oh!!!...
And all got serious in an instant….except for Annie… who was grinning ear to ear…trying to tease her Bhai to the fullest….
Mehra’s gave Khurrana’s a grand welcome…and Yash and Raj Mehra introduced their families…They were all seated now…. Annie and Maan were looking for the girl’s entry….After much wait….there she came….a girl in her early 20s with a tray full of tea cups …. Followed by another girl with some cookies and snacks…
Raj introduced his daughters ….elder Geet…and younger as Raji….
Maan and Geet looked at each other…and she instantly averted her gaze as her eyes met Maan’s… What will he think…thinking so, she just put the tray on table and went to sit beside her mother…She was anxious…where as Maan was tongue tied at this moment…Annie happened to notice that…
Annie (whispered in Maan’s ears): Wow… Mrs Geet Maan SinghKhurrana… sounds cool naa??? To main ye rishta pakka samjho….
With that she winked at him and Maan could only give her a look…coz she was being more than childish here whispering and all..where he had a reputation to maintain… as his Dad spoke abt their family business and the random talks afterwards….
Priya was waiting for any positive signal from Maan…But, he was lost looking at Geet…Hmmm, well he wasn’t lost in her beauty or anything…but there was something on her face that made him silent…Seeing no response from her son, Priya sighed and didn’t proceed with her roka plans….Well, Maan and Geet didnt get to meet each other in private…and this thing irked Annie…
Annie(St): what yaar…is this the meeting??? They didn’t even let the girl and boy have some private lovey dovey talks… Thinking some idea she burrowed a pen from Raji and on a tissue paper she wrote something…and while they were bidding byes…Annie went to hug Geet and handed her the tissue paper… Geet was speechless, she was abt to ask when she heard her…
Annie:- you both didn’t get to talk…Its Bhai’s no on that tissue, call him…get to know each other… I liked you so much am sure he will also…(She got outta her hug and looked at a dumbfounded Geet) Umm… And I don’t think you have any solid reason to reject my Bhai…
With a wink she left her…and Raji was too stunned to speakat the moment…
Raji: Woah!!… What was that…She was fast…umm brainy as well…Hehe… (Raji too joined this teasing and already made party with Annie)
~~~~~
Geet was looking at the tissue…umm, the no…She wanted to meet this guy…But, wasn’t sure if she could call him or not…What if, he thought she was extrovert…fast girl… which she wasn’t….She was an introvert and to top of that, she was scared…for some reason….She was scared not for herself but for him….
She must call and talk to him…She thought it was the only way….and sighing dialed his no…
Maan looked at the new caller id and thought for a bit…as he didn’t really entertain unknown nos…But, for some reasons his sister has warned to answer all the calls for at least 2 days, made him answer it…and to his surprise he didn’t cut listening female voice…since he got to know now that why his sister was warning uselessly….
Geet: Hello….
Maan: Yes….
Geet: Can I speak to Maan…
Maan: Yes, you are talking to Maan…May I know who is this???
Geet(stammered):- Ehh!!! Hi…Errm…. Its Geet… Geet Mehra… you came to see me the other day….
Maan: Oh…yeah… How are you doing….
Geet: Am fine… Actually, your sister gave me this no to call you…
Maan: I apologize on her behalf…She behaves childishly sometimes…You really didn’t have to call….
Geet: Ehh….
Maan(corrected as he thought it was rude of him): I mean, if you were uncomfortable…
Geet: No no…That’s actually thoughtful of her… Its fine…It was a wish coming true for me…
Maan: Sorry??
Geet: I actually wanted to talk to you…
Maan: Oh…
His heart pondered over the thought she was going to say no to this alliance…and maybe wanted him to say so…typical girly thingy to do…But, someone rejecting MSK…Hmm, that definitely was hurting…But, he didn’t mind since he has seen her silent… and he has thought she didn’t want to get married to him…maybe some love triangle…and he really didn’t want to be the third wheel to her story…Well, he was thinking too much ignoring the fact that she was talking on the other end of the line…When she finally loudly said his name…He came out from his lala land…
Geet: Hello…Are you listening me???
Maan: Yea…yeah…yeah….yes… Am sorry… what were you saying just now???
Geet: Can we meet…whenever you have time…???
Maan: Yes… Today 6pm, At Tea House, nearby your residence??
Geet: Oh…That will be great…
Maan: Okhh… then…bye…
Geet: See you…
At Tea House,
Maan welcomed Geet….as he stood and made her sit first…. She smiled at his gentleman behavior…At first, both were hesitant…but then one needed to initiate the convo….so, Maan took the lead…
Maan:- I don’t know, if you remember this or not its our second meeting in here…I mean at the Tea House…
Geet:- I do…
With that she looked up at him and looked directly into his eyes…with a smile and both went back to their first encounter at this particular Tea House…
Flashback…
Geet entered the tea house looking for her friends while talking nonstop on phone… and Bam…She tripped and fell on table…causing a mobile phone to drop on floor…The man tried to save his phone but seeing her falling, he placed his hand on her shoulder to support but her tug was full forced and both landed on floor….with Geet being on top of him….She gasped as both looked into each others eyes and when she realized she was kinda staring him…she tried to get up…only to know…his other hand had saved her from his hot coffee…that he has been sipping while on laptop…and she felt an instant gratitude towards this man… He not only saved her from falling directly on ground but also from getting burned with hot beverage… but wait…She was the main culprit here…She caused this all…Ahh!!!She not only made him fall….got his full suit dirty….but also damaged his iphone… umm…That looked expensive…and instant regret covered her face and He enjoyed her facial expressions the most…which changed from sec to other sec….forgetting what he has lost….what he was abt to lose….He only looked for her expressions….And when she got on her feet…was abt to apologize…but before she could utter a single word…His reply came…
Maan: Its okhh…
Geet: No…Its not okhh…(well, he was stunned at her response)
Maan: Pardon me???
Geet(re-framed her sentence or finished what she wanted to say): No..I mean…Its my mistake…I caused a huge loss … …At least let me apologize…. Am extremely very sorry…
Maan: Well, sorry would do ????I mean, will your sorry change anything??? Can I get my phone back???? Can I get my clean clothes back??? No…No…Apologies are used by lame ppl… Practically, sorries never undone what’s done… So, relax, you don’t have to be sorry….
Now Geet was guiltier than before… but before she could continue…Her friends arrived and he gestured her to get going…with a small smile….that assured her, nothing was serious…and with a gratifying node, she went away….
End of flashbacks….
~~~
Geet(smiled sadly): Coincidence…
Maan: A beautiful one… (He commented looking directly into her eyes…seeing her uncomfortable he added) Well, am bit anxious…The way I suddenly got a call from you…ummm, am having mixed feelings… I mean , if you called me here just to reject me???(Geet still was silent…looking down sometimes and sometimes in his eyes for brief secs)Its okh… I completely understand…
Geet: How do you understand me??? How do you think so…
Maan: I saw, you weren’t happy when we met at yours …I don’t know, there can be many reasons…But, its okhh… go on…am anyways here to listen you… Go on…Get started…
Geet(took a sip of her Tea): This Tea tastes nice….Have it first….
Maan(smiled): Sure…
