"Dev please let her enjoy" pleaded meera lovingly melting dev heart.
"I think you both should leave now go and continue your romance at home children will get spoiled" commented dadi making them embarrassed. Aniee chuckled watching meera flushed face. Lights went off suddenly hall filled with murmuring sounds as result.
Bright shining light focused on maan making him look more alluring and handsome. Wearing black suit with matching pants with straight face adding killer look he stood there making girls heart beat skipped a bit. The admirers of him hooted and clapped the very second they saw him showing there over flow happiness. Many business associates of KC also attended along with KF clients much to maan's surprise. He shrugged thinking Arjun may be invited them.
He gave glance at his family who sat there at first row smiling at him giving thumbs up. His eyes missed most important person in all those he intently looked at them again "Dadi" muttered maan sensing dadi missing from there.
Before his mind could think any other irrigational thoughts dadi stood behind him cladded in elegant white sari. Plasting bright smile on her wrinkled face placed her palm on his shoulder to assure him she is fine. Getting mike from helpers Dadi came took few steps guiding maan along with her.
"Good evening everyone a warm welcome to all of you. I am happy to announce the haier of Khurana's Maan singh Khurana is taking over business of Khurana's in india as well. I know it's been two months he returned from London but there is no official announcement. Today I am officially announcing Maan singh Khurana as Chairman of Khurana industries all over country." Announced dadi proudly stealing glances at maan who stood there with amused expressions.
All stood on there feet's with huge applause maan warmly smiled at them like accepting there welcome hiding his amused expressions. Flowers started showering on him along with bright glittering artificial paper works.
"You are thinking only you have brain right. Then you are wrong I am your dadi remember" whispered dadi in maan ears keeping mike away from her reach.
"Arjun right?" asked maan searching for that fellow in side of stage.
"Must accept that you are clever maan don't scare that boy ok" warned dadi knowing about her grandson.
He straight away said no to arjun when he came with this plan. For his bad luck dadi helped arjun in this plan without his knowledge. As per Arjun he asked maan he will initiate first will introduce maan to all officially as it is his first face to face interaction with all Indian business associates. Arjun executed his plan with the help of dadi "will see you later" muttered maan glaring at arjun who is peeping beside curtains of side wall.
"I thought we can get glimpse of MSK and RK (Ranjith Khurana) together" Dev heared some one commenting from back.
Dev know they purposefully said like that but he didn't pay any heed to their buttering. He himself asked his dad to attend this party as per dadi's order as she is planning all these. His dad said nothing to him but he wished he will come along with his mom even.
Dev thoughts disturbed by dadi's voice "Let's start today event I am handling over to my grandson before he throws me out for spoiling his event." joked dadi creating pleasant atmosphere in audience pecking him on fore head giving quick hug left from there.
Maan thanked his stars for not allowing media at that point of time. He knows they will bum bard questions about his sudden returning back to india after ages and many more. Taking deep breathe maan started
"Good evening ladies and gentle men today we gathered here to give grand welcome to new KF model. As you all know she is GK "Geet Kapoor" the present successful heroine. If we start talking about her beauty we will get loss of words.
She is most gorgeous girl I have ever seen
She is emptym of beauty an angel fallen from heaven
She is an untouched dew drop a rose petal"
Maan stopped abruptly with clap sound of aniee who is looking so excited for her arrival. He cursed himself for praising her like that so openly for his luck all added with aniee with huge applause. Dadi observed how much calm and happy he is looking when he is saying about her. She is so shocked to hear praises from his mouth for a girl like that. As far she knows he will give damn to girls who surround him like ants around sugar.
Maan climbed down from the stage and sat with his family "Bhai wo kaha hai" asked impatient aniee who didn't given attention to his words which he said few minutes back."There she is" said maan pointing at stage through his eyes.
Cladded in purple color shoulder less dress looking not less than angel she landed on the stage like princess from heaven taking away his breathe. All gasped looking at her beauty few appreciated the way she is carrying everything so well. He looked at the girl fallen from that darkness in to the stage which is decorated with glittering lights. The fear he had seen that night is not there GK attitude is oozing out from her every action.
He is impressed with her killer smile she is giving to all end media who entered due to their nonstop hustle bustle. he know for outer world she is big headed girl only he knows how innocent she is at heart how much wounded her heart is. Their eyes met when she glanced at his direction in fraction of second her coldness flew away from her innocent hazels shy smile occupied there.
For a moment he felt he is living in some illusion watching this sudden change of her. But his heart refused his thought he had seen her suffering alone all the time. From hospital nights to last night in palace. Because of warmth of his words she able to cope up with all her fears. He chided himself for even thinking in wrong way about her.
Pushing his thoughts away from his stupid brain he admired her beauty silently not making it oblivious to anyone. Boring his eyes into hers he checked her from top to bottom he can say that lifeless clothes got life because she is wearing them which he designed with his love. She adverted her gauze away from him feeling conscious of his eyes appreciation for her beauty. Both smiled silently in their hearts for there not stop hide and seek un knowingly. He didn't take away his eyes from her it's highly impossible for him observing cute shy smile and red hue adorned on her cheeks making her look more beautiful testing his self control.
She don't know what is happening with her at that time she wants to run in to his arms wants to hug him tightly. The song slowly started at back with music cold and hard look again covered hiding away her innocent hazels from him making him worried. All eyes were on her only capturing her every expression in there gadgets.
"Wow maan impressive you are taking more interest in indian wear rather than western" commented Dadi giving meaningful look to him.
She is shocked to see the dress choice it is looking homely rather than high official dress. She liked that girl and the way she is presenting herself in front of all elegantly.
He smiled at his dadi maa hiding his annoyance. She is the one who will take good class saying "you should give more interest in Indian wear rather than western" when he is doing that she had problem for that only. "For god sake she is his love she belongs to him then how he can allow to wear revealing clothes" thought maan possessively un known to his.
"Savitri devi don't you think something is cooking here" thought dadi glancing at maaneet meaningfully. All concentrated on stage as lyrics started
Poster ke, jungle mein
Glamor ke daldal mein
Roshni ki hulchul mein
Gossip mein, scandal mein
Har dil mein basti hoon
Main heroine hoon..
In the jungle of posters,
in the quicksand of glamour,
in the bustling of light,
in gossip, in scandal,
I live in every heart,
I am Heroine.
Her lips curved into a sarcastic smile when she sang those lines. She is heroine a glass doll for outer world what about hear heart which is suffering alone in this cruel world. She is show piece for all to gossip about her personal life which is un known to them. This world not leaving her in peace where ever she go there in decent comments piercing her heart like needles.
Jeena marna ye aaina
Khud ko bhi to na pehchaana
Naqab banke mera dasna
Main khiladi hoon ya khilona
Kabhi teekhi, kabhi namkeen hoon
Main heroine hoon..
This mirror is life n death,
I don't even identify my own self,
my biting (is) with a facemask,
Am I a player or a toy?
I'm sometimes spicy, sometimes salty,
I'm the heroine.
For her this life meant nothing it's like death for her she is living this life with mask of GK her own identity buried in time long ago. . She is toy in hands of SK the bitter truth of her life. The media who waits for her spicy news publishing them with salt and pepper she hates this life.
Still she is heroine who will dance on others words and orders.
Link up mein, break-up mein
Girgit se makeup mein
Bistar ki silwat mein
Kahaani ki karwat mein
Tanha main rehti hoon
Main heroine hoon..
In link ups, in break ups,
in makeup like a chameleon
in the crease of bed,
In the turn of story,
I live alone,
I am the heroine..
Bearing all this pain she is still living like dead soul she is heroine many eyes searching for her but they were like hunted curse for her. She is living alone in this canvas of cine field.
She didn't look at him throughout the song but he can feel the pain of her in those lyrics. He waited for her one look at him he wants to ensure his heart she is fine now. The lyrics still ringing in his mind the hell she is living in right now he can watch it with his closed eyes even. She looked at him gathering all her courage as she knows he is waiting for her one glance. Tiny drops gathered at corner of her hazels but she didn't allow them to flow off. It's her promise to him she won't cry for anything no matter in which condition she is living.
Maan heart pained watching emptiness in her eyes he nodded his negatively indicating not to cry he is there for her. She smiled at him with moisted eyes he signed in relief but he know it's not the end she is in pain. He wants to hide her from this world which is only giving immense pain to her heart and soul.
The hall filled with huge appreciations for her performance breaking their eye talk. Maan reached up to her by taken her hand in his it is so cold like ice berg. Raising her hand up to his lips reach he placed warm kiss on her knuckles. She shivered with his warm kiss her whole body electrified with his warmth over powering her coldness.
Media clicked there pictures hurriedly maan given damn to their presence his sole concentration is on her only.
"Oh my god I cont believe it" whispered Amy blinking his eyes couple of times standing at entrance of hall like statue witnessing that sight.
"It's true only you are not dreaming" answered aniee pinching him hardly on his arms standing beside him with crossed arms.
She is all the while last in her pari only but when the song ended she felt geet eyes were only on maan and the gloominess covered on geet's face worried her like hell. She came out to feel fresh air she cont see her pari in that state. She came inside with lots of hustle bustle to witness the breathe taking view her bhai kissing her pari.
"Idiot that hurts" cursed amy rubbing his arm coming out of his trance. He is here in busy schedule because of maan's constant threats but he is late. From days he is trying to get hold of maan to discuss with maan many things but both of them are busy. When he saw geet with maan like that his heart hinting him something which he should know urgently.
The followed was a big fashion show was held maan is all the while is by her side only but he didn't make it oblivious to anyone he thought at least like that. Dadi, aniee and Amy spying on his every move specially amy felt so happy watching maan's glowing face.
"This is the thing I want to tell you" wishepered aniee in to amy's ears when ramp walk going on. "You mean" cross questioned amy wanting to know full story.
"Well" started aniee but stopped watching all stood on there feet's to welcome someone.
"Oh why all giving shocks today" muttered amy looking Ranjith making his way in to hall along with naina some one following beside him. Dev and meera was also shocked but dadi is watching at Ranjith very calm face.
"I know beta you will come here your stubborn nature is masking your love. You love maan so much wants everything perfect for him. Your one decision created storm on our lives I am praying to god don't do anything that will hurt all of us again" thought dadi looking at ranjith.
She is angry at him for not listening to her words at past even now also but she knows her son well. In struggle of giving everything perfect to children his over protective nature for keeping family values alive making big gap between family members. She only hope one day he will realize what mistake he did because of his one decision how much maan suffered alone.
Maan watched his dad coming in his direction followed by his mom. He truly missed them but he won't voice out anything not until his dad regret for what he did at past. Ranjith stood beside maan silently business associates from foreign and also Indian clients of KC approached them one by one to congratulate duo. All the family gathered around them media clicked there photos it is very rare case can say first time they will get to see both son and father together.
After successful launch of new brands by KF all hitted dance floor making them drown in alcohol. On other side interaction of different fields associates going on in all these geet searching for maan talking with someone un interestingly.
"Hello MK how are you" maan heard when he is busy in talking with someone.
Turning in his direction maan surprised to see that elderly man there "Hello Mr.Arora happy to see you here". Maan thought may be arjun invited him here not knowing he came there as per Ranjith words. "Meet my daughter Aarthi" Mr.Arora introduced his daughter to maan. Maan taken out his hand for hand shake but surprising him Aarthi hugged him.
"MK I am big fan of you I want to meet you from many days" maan heard excited aarthi saying still hugging him. For him its common thing girls going gaga about him like this.
He stood there motionless giving time for her to complete her task but she is taking her own sweet time for that. Giving warm smile for both maan and aarthi Mr.Arora left from there. Maan sensed some burning sensation on his body searched here and there to spot out what is it.
Few minutes searching he saw her looking at him with widen eyes at the creature hanging in his arms. He harshly broke the hug giving "what I can do look". Geet simply looked away feeling number of volcano's burning inside her heart. He nodded his head in disbelief for her cute angry face.
"Mr.Arora I hope she likes maan " asked Ranjith taking seat to take their dinner. He is impressed with aarthi's simplicity and innocent nature he decided she will be the one for maan. As father he only wants better for his son but he is forgetting his only decision created storm in their lives long back. "Not hope Mr.Khurana she really loves him" answered Mr.Arora looking at her daughter admiringly.
"Pari come let's dance" asked aniee tagging with her friends as her dad is there. Geet didn't say anything but aniee dragged her to dance floor. She is hell angry on him for allowing that creature (as per her) to touch him.
"Ohh someone got their own interest here I think there is no need for me here" commented swetha with annoying face looking at Vid who is busy in eyeing at geet while dancing with her.
"Don't worry baby I need you to warm up my bed like always" answered vid with smirk. After some time couple dance started all dancing exchanging there partners. Arjun, Dev-meera, Amy also joined with all maan kept him aside as he is not interested. Elders given space to them as it is common in corporate world.
Vid deliberately grabbed geet in his arms while exchanging there partners'. Geet slipped away from his wisely making sure she didn't give single chance to touch her to that cheapo.
Geet saw aarthi dragging maan to dance floor but maan stood like statue on dance floor giving damn to her. Geet observed that creature keenly she is wearing black transparent sari giving view of her perfect curvature figure.
He smiled silently when she is checking aarthi from almost ten minutes.
"Oh something is burning here huh" whispered maan taking her in his arms standing middle of dance floor clearly indicating no one can touch his possession. Placing his hand on her waist sensually he tucked her closely to him. Her anger melted away with his gesture her hands automatically surrounded his neck.
Their faces were so close he is looking at her so lovingly trying to read her eyes. She looked away hiding way her blush. Her eyes met vid who is looking at her with angry look. She hides her face in crook of his neck feeling sacred of vid. He felt her stiffness suddenly it worried him
"Geet" he whispered with concerned voice tightening his hold around her waist. "Look at me anything wrong" he questioned but she is too lost in him to answer anything. She is hiding herself away from that vid but the minute his hold tightened around her she felt her breathe got struck in her throat.
She nodded for a no feeling shy to look at him for their posture. "Geet I will be back you stay here" said maan taking her away from dance floor as his mom called him. She nodded not looking at him and said "come soon please" he went away leaving her alone.
All were busy on dance floor amy and aniee didn't saw their dance. Amy got busy with his friends where aniee got busy with her fight with arjun. This golden moment didn't get un noticed by dadi she silently observing maaneet especially his glow on his face when she is with him.
"Wow you are lucky to become wife of Maan Khurana" geet heard someone saying but she ignored their talks. "Of course I am lucky girl only that's why I got chance to became Khurana's badi bahu" aarthi replied with dreamy look.
Geet heard her voice got biggest shock of her life. She recalled aarthi behavior from stating of her entry and then maan not saying a word to her even. She tried not to think in that way but the thought itself pained her heart.
"Hello GK" dadi called her politely to make conversation with her watching her alone. dadi didn't heard the crap aarthi and her friends talking as she came there now only.
Geet is too lost to register anything tears gathered in her eyes without giving glance to dadi she hurriedly left from there. Dadi felt insulted with her behavior she know GK is famous for her cold and I don't care attitude but it hurted her heart.
"Geet" maan tried to stop her when he saw her leaving suddenly. She pretended like didn't heard his words left from there holding back her tears with difficulty.
