Kehna Hi Kya ... Falling for a Girl Part II
Maan was annoyed. Actually he was beyond annoyed. Why? Why my family could not come earlier? Atleast I could have been able to see her yesterday. Maan huffed in annoyance. Today was Sangeet and as he stood waiting for the programme to start, his eyes wandered around searching for a certain someone. When he did not see her, he huffed again. Not fair Daadima! Do din jaldi kyon nahi aa sakti aap?
Now you must be wondering what has Maan so annoyed? Ah well! You see yesterday was the Haldi function and also the day his family was supposed to come to Hoshiarpur. Hence, Maan had to get them settled in their rooms and then NT demanded to go on a tour of the village and before he knew it Maan was roped into the trip too. By the time he came back, the Haldi function was over and everyone had retired to their rooms. Hence, Maan went one full day without seeing the beauty who had ensnared his heart. So you can understand why Maan was annoyed. He did not see his beauty for one whole day! Poor fellow!
Maan grumbled again about annoying family and their annoying habit of having wrong timing when his thoughts were cut short. There walking by the bride was his beauty. Looking more like princess of some mythical city, she wowed him with her simple but elegant look. She was stunning! Maan thought not knowing that he had mumbled that thought out loud and NT had just passed by him.
NT stopped and stared at her Veerji. Did Maan Veerji seriously say that? She noticed her stare and looked around to see what had captured his attention. And once she saw in the direction he was seeing her eyes widened. Daadima aur Dev ko bataana padega! NT scurried away to tell Daadima that her favorite and eldest grandson has found his soulmate just as music started playing around.
Gumsum Gumsum Gupchup Gumsum Gupchup
Gumsum Gumsum Gupchup Gumsum Gupchup
Maan stared at the girl intensely and the girl noticed his glance.
Hulchul Hulchul Ho Gayi Teri Honth Hai Teri Chup
Khalbal Khalbal Hogayi Teri Baithi Hai Gupchup
She hid her face behind one of the ladies nearby and Maan smiled tenderly at her shyness.
Pyaare Pyaare Chehre Par De Diya Ishaara
Dekha Teri Aankhon Ne Hai Sapna Koi Pyaara
Humse Gori Na Tu Sharma Kehde Humse Zara
Humse Gori Na Tu Sharma Kehde Humse Zara
Maan continued to stare in the same place. The girl tried to look at him sneakily but shrunk back when she noticed him. Maan chuckled. The girl ran away from there and Maan frowned. He had to follow her. Maan walked swiftly towards the way she ran.
Kehna Hi Kya
Yeh Nain Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lagi
Mohabbat Ke Jaise Yeh Silsile
Maan did not notice a certain old lady noting his movements with narrowed eyes.
Armaan Naye Aise Dil Mein Khile
Jinko Kabhi Main Na Jaanoon
Woh Humse Hum Unse Kabhi Na Mile
Kaise Mile Dil Na Jaanoon
Where was she? Maan wondered as he looked around. Kahaan gayi yeh ladki?
Ab Kya Karein
Kya Naam Lein
Kaise Unhein Main Pukaaroon
Kehna Hi Kya
Yeh Nain Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lagi
Mohabbat Ke Jaise Yeh Silsile
Suddenly, she walked out of her hiding place and he came face to face with her.
Armaan Naye Aise Dil Mein Khile
Jinko Kabhi Main Na Jaanoon
Woh Humse Hum Unse Kabhi Na Mile
Kaise Mile Dil Na Jaanoon
He was unable to look away and neither did she seem to.
Ab Kya Karein
Kya Naam Lein
Kaise Unhein Main Pukaaroon
Someone grabbed her hand and dragged her away while talking to her but Maan did not notice. All he did was stare at her. Her face showed confusion and Maan realised that the innocent nave girl was confused about what was happening with her. Well! She might be confused but he was not. He liked her, was falling in love with her and wanted to marry her. It was simple! He shook his head and walking out, re-entered the hall.
Maan reached the hall just as the girl, seated by the bride, looked up. Her eyes widened at his stare and she shyly bowed down. Maan sighed dreamily. Even her shyness was endearing.
Pehli Hi Nazar Mein Kuch Hum
Kuch Tum Ho Jaate Hai Yun Ghum
Naino Se Barse Rimzhim
Rimzhim Humpe Pyaar Ka Saawan
Maan wished that she looked up but she did not. He huffed wishing for once she would look up. When she did not, he walked determinedly and stood by her hoping she would grace him with one glimpse of her delightful eyes.
Sharm Thodi Thodi Humko
Aaye Toh Nazrein Jhuk Jaaye
Sitam Thoda Thoda Humpe
Shaukh Hawaa Bhi Kar Jaaye
Just then his wish was granted and she looked up. His heart did a small bhangra right then and there.
Aisi Chale
Aanchal Ude
Dil Mein Ek Toofan Uthe
Suddenly, he had an impish idea. He folded his arms, said Namaste and with mischievous smile on his face, he walked away. He looked back and chuckled when he noticed her stupefied look. Oh! I love her so much!
Hum Toh Lut Gaye Khade Hi Khade
Kehna Hi Kya
Yeh Nain Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lagi
Mohabbat Ke Jaise Yeh Silsile
Armaan Naye Aise Dil Mein Khile
Jinko Kabhi Main Na Jaanoon
Woh Humse Hum Unse Kabhi Na Mile
Kaise Mile Dil Na Jaanoon
Ab Kya Karein
Kya Naam Lein
Kaise Unhein Main Pukaaroon
Maan talked to someone and then turned back to look at her but she had vanished. He frowned and looked around, noticing her standing by a pillar. Another impish idea crossed his mind and he chuckled.
Gumsum Gumsum Gupchup Gumsum Gupchup
Gumsum Gumsum Gupchup Gumsum Gupchup
Maan went and stood by her. She stiffened and he realised that she knew he was there.
Hulchul Hulchul Ho Gayi Teri Honth Hai Teri Chup
Khalbal Khalbal Hogayi Teri Baithi Hai Gupchup
He let his hand caress her hand softly and she tensed more. Oh! He was loving these moments!
Pyaare Pyaare Chehre Par De Diya Ishaara
Dekha Teri Aankhon Ne Hai Sapna Koi Pyaara
She looked sideways and then again shyly looked away. While this sharmaana was good and all, I wish I knew whether you had feelings for me too. He walked away wanting to see if she would search for him. If she did, that meant she liked him too the way he liked her.
Humse Gori Na Tu Sharma Kehde Humse Zara
Humse Gori Na Tu Sharma Kehde Humse Zara
Maan went to a deserted hallway and found an alcove for himself. Sitting down he hoped her feelings for him would get her searching for him.
In Honthon Ne Maanga Sargam
Sargam Tu Aur Tera Hi Pyaar Hai
Aankhen Dhoondhe Hai Jisko Hardam
Hardam Tu Aur Tera Hi Pyaar Hai
Fear and uncertainty gripped his heart as he wondered whether she would come or not.
Mehfil Mein Bhi
Tanha Hai Dil Aise Dil Aise
Tujhko Kho Na De
Darta Hai Yeh Aise Aise
And then she stepped into the hallway and his heart bloomed. With excitement in his heart, Maan walked into her line of vision.
Aaj Mili
Aisi Khushi
Jhoom Uthi Duniya Yeh Meri
Tumko Paaya Toh Paayi Zindagi
His eyes locked onto hers and refused to look away.
Kehna Hi Kya
Yeh Nain Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lagi
Mohabbat Ke Jaise Yeh Silsile
He stepped towards her wanting to know her name. He neared her and stepped very close to her.
Armaan Naye Aise Dil Mein Khile
Jinko Kabhi Main Na Jaanoon
Woh Humse Hum Unse Kabhi Na Mile
Kaise Mile Dil Na Jaanoon
Suddenly she started to walk backwards and he realised that her shyness had taken hold over her again.
Ab Kya Karein
Kya Naam Lein
Kaise Unhein Main Pukaaroon
She turned around and he realised that this was his only chance before she ran away.
Kehna Hi Kya
Yeh Nain Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lage
Mohabbat Ke Jaise Yeh Silsile
"Maan!", he spoke and she froze.
"Maan naam hai mera!", he spoke and waited for her response with bated breath.
"Geet!", she whispered back and his heart skipped a beat.
Geet! What a lovely name!
He did not know what made him do what he did next. All he knew was that he was hers and she was his. He stepped close to her and whispered in her ear, "Maan ki Geet! Geet ka Maan!"
Maan waited for her response but before he could get that someone grabbed his hand and dragged him away. Maan was so shocked by the sudden action that he allowed himself to drag away.
Kehna Hi Kya...
And that, my friends, was end of another part of this story!
Final part will show how did Maan get so lucky to have his rishta fixed with Geet so easily!
So see you on 16th of December for the last part of this story!
Thank you, take care and have fun,
Kalpana
