Kehna Hi Kya ... Falling for a Girl Part III
Maan was not impressed by being dragged by Dev like a small kid and he let his displeasure known. He growled, he shouted, he even threatened but unfortunately for him Dev was not his employee who cowered at the sight of an angry Maan. No! Dev was his younger brother and used to his elder brother's tantrum throwing and so he simply tightened his grip and continued to walk towards their rooms. Once they reached their rooms the younger brother let go off the older brother who glared at him while folding his arms and pouting. Oh ya! Definitely a small kid's temper tantrum! Dev mused.
"Maan bete!", a soft voice drew Maan's attention and he looked around to see Daadima seated on the bed with NT standing beside her, "Hum aapse bilkul khush nahi hai Maan bete!"
Maan frowned. His Darling Daadima not happy with him? What wrong did he do?
"Aisa kyun Daadima?", Maan questioned in confusion.
"Hum khush kyun rahe jab humaara pota kisi ladki ke peeche titli ki tarah mandra raha ho toh!", Daadima frowned.
Maan's cheeks grew warm and he tugged at his sherwani's collar uncomfortably. Dev and NT chuckled.
Daadima continued, "Ek zamaane mein Dev se humein yeh ummeed thi lekin aapse? Aapse toh bilkul bhi nahi! Maan bete! Aapne humaara dil dukhaaya hai!"
Maan felt really bad. He had hurt his Daadima. "Daadima?", he whispered in pleading voice.
"Aapne humaari naak kataa di! Agar gaaowaalon ne aapko ladki ke peeche is tarah ghoomte dekh liya toh kya izzat reh jaayegi humaari! Ab bas! Yeh ladki ke peeche ghoomna phirna band! Hum kal shaadi ke khatam hote hi yahaan se nikal rahe hain!", Daadima announced.
Maan sadly bowed his down. What will happen to his love story now? Will he ever get to meet his Geet again? Will he ever get to live his life with her the way he dreamed?
"After all", Daadima continued, "Jitni jaldi jaayenge utni jaldi baaraat leke waapis aa paayenge!"
Maan's eyes widened and he looked up in shock at his Daadima, "Daadima!", he whispered.
His Daadima smiled at him. Then looking at him mock sternly she said, "Humne soch liya hai Maan bete! Kal shaadi se pehle hum ladki aur uske ghar waalon se milenge aur tumhaara rishta kal hi pakka kar denge! Aur uske baad jald se jald shaadi! Phir ghoomte rehna apni patni peeche titli ki tarah!"
Maan grinned widely and then ran and hugged his Daadima.
"Thank you Daadima!", he whispered tearfully.
"Thank you kis baat ka beta?", Daadima whispered back, "Humaare Maan bete ne pehli baar apne baare mein socha hai, apne liye kuch chaaha hai, toh kaise hum aapka yeh sapna poora na karte? Aur waise bhi, my grandson is in love! I am not a fool to come in between love stories!"
Maan frowned and pulled away, "Lekin aapko kaise pata that I have fallen for her?"
Daadima chuckled, "I am Daadima, betaji! Aapke rag rag se waaqif hain! Aapki dhadkan kya Geet gaati hai yeh hum achchi tarah se jaante hain!"
Maan smiled at his would-be's name and hugged his Daadima back. Yes! Life was perfect right now! But it will become more perfect once Geet was a part and parcel of his life!
Next Day...
Maan walked towards the room his Daadima was residing only to smile when he noticed Geet taking Aashirwad from his Daadima. Oh! So that is why Dev told me to come right away! With pride on his face Maan stepped ahead. He knew he had found the perfect bahu for his Daadima and he was quite proud of that fact.
Daadima noticed his arrival and spoke, "Arre beta! Tum aagaye! Aajaao! Yahaan tumhaare hi rishte ki baat ho rahi hai!", then Daadima's voice took up a mischievous tone, something which only her family members noticed, "Waise humein toh tumhaari pasand bahut achchi lagi! Bas! Geet tumhein dekhke haan kehde hum yeh rishta turant pakka kar denge! Aajaao! Geet se baat karo!"
Maan smirked. Oh! So Geet does not know that he was the prospective bride groom. And by the looks of it, even Geet's parents, who were standing nearby, did not know about their whirlwind romance. He can play along.
"Ji Daadima!", he replied and just as he expected Geet stiffened. With a smirk on his face, he watched Geet turn and her eyes widening as she registered his presence.
He smiled, "Maan! Mera naam Maan hai! Maan Singh Khurana! Aur aapka?"
Slowly her lips started to smile and she replied, "Geet!" and then lowering her voice she whispered only for him, "Maan ki Geet!"
Maan felt his happiness expand tenfold at her declaration. Yes! Maan decided. Life was perfect right now!
