12.Ye Kya ho raha hai?
Maan was pacing to and fro in his room.. He was cursing himself again and again for losing the opportunity to accept the proposal..Now his all the hopes were on Dev and Geet..He was waiting for them to come our of their parent's room. He saw both of them coming and rushed towards them
"Kya hua? Mom Dad maane ya nahin?''
Geet and Dev exchanged their looks and both hung their heads
Maan's heart almost dropped
"bolo bhi kuchh.''
"Maan.. Mom dad kuchh sunne ko ready hi nahin hain.. Mom ne to yahaan tak bola ki wo bhookh hadtaal karengi agar maine Geet se shadi nahin ki toh.'' Dev tried to be more realisitic while informing him
Maan's heart sank hearing that
"T..toh tum dono ne kya kaha?''
"Kahne ke liye kya bacha ab?'' Dev looked at Geet who was also standing with hung face.. "Maine haan bol diya.. Ab mom dad ki wish to puri karni hi hai.. tumhaare bare me to sabko pata hai ki kit um Geet ke bare me kya sochte ho.. to ab main hi to bacha.''
Maan looked at Geet who was looking at him only..
"Geet..Tu bhi ready hai?''
"Mere paas koi dusra option hai kya?'' Geet tried to show her helplessness "Dev ke paas to phir bhi ek reason tha na bolne kaki wo kisi se pyaar karta hai.. Mera toh koi Boyfrind bhi nahin.. main kya karti jab Dev ne hi haan bol diya.. mere paas mana karne ka reason hi nahin hai.'' Geet said looking at him and he could see Maan's expressions changing at every moment with her words..
"Aur Naina ka kya..uske bare me kya socha tumne?'' Maan looked at Dev..
"They are not ready to listen.. They even asked me to choose one between them and Naina.'' Dev looked at his brother with so pitiful eyes that anyone at Maan's place could feel his pain..
He did not belive that thing could change this much fast.. He tried not to show his painful expressions and asked
"Eng..Engagement kab hai?''
"Wednesday.'' Dev informed and Maan was shocked to hear
"Wednesday? Itni jaldi?''
"Mom dad chahte hain ki jitni jaldi engagement ho utna achha .. iss tarah Geet ko aur mujhe ek dusre ko naye nazariye se smajhne ke liye time milega..
"Oh.'' Maan just said that
"Tu kyun itna pareshaan hai Maan? Kuchh kahna hai kya tujhe?'' Dev asked and Maan flinched as if he had touched his wounded nerve..
"Umm Kuchh nahin.. BTW..ab jab tum dono ready ho toh.. Congratulation to both of you.'' He looked at Geet and then moved towards his room..
Geet and Dev saw him moving in and they both exchanged their looks.. Soon a grin appeared on both the faces and they hi fived..
"My poor bro.. Dil me toofaan utha hai.. par akad itni hai ki bolega nahin.. dekhte hain kab tak chup rahta hai..iski haalat dekh kar to lagta hai ki Mom dad ka plan Kaam karega ache se.''
"I hope so.'' Geet crossed her fingers and Dev laughed
"I too hope so warna saara maza kharaab ho jaayega.Par mujhe kyun tension hai? Mere liye to dono taraf entertainment hai.. Plan A fail hua to plan B toh aur jyada adventurousn hai.. You were too good to think like that.. main sach me imagne kar sakta hoon tum dono ko uss halat me agar plan B use karna pada toh'' He winked at her and Geet pouted hearing him..She hit him on his shoulder..
"Haan tujhe to maza aayega hi..tu meri tarah aisi situation me nahin phansa na. Tera to sab set hai..'' She looked up and cribbed "Babaji.. Main hi kyun? Main kitne maze se jee rahi thi pahle bindaas. Iss pyaar ka lafde se ekdum dur... aapko koi aur match nahin mila mere liye iss idiot Maan ke alawa?''
Dev laughed loud hearing her..He pulled her in his hug "Tu tension mat le..sab theek hoga.. Mujhe ab bas Maan ka reaction dekhna hai ki aage kya karta hai.'' He looked at Geet who was looking at the door of Maan's room
"par sach me mujhe uske liye bura lag raha hai,,, bechara.''
Dev's eyes became big "Bechara?' That's sounds really different from your mouth..So.. Soon to be Mrs. Geet Maan Singh Khurana is head over heal in LOVEwith Him.'' And she smiled hearing him.. She even blushed.
Dev was amazed to see her like that.. She was not the girl who belived in such practices like bkushing and getting nredden on such a small comment but love has the power which changes a person in to the one who was totally opposite earlier.
"Waise Dev.. You owe me.''Geet said and Dev looked at her with confusion
"Arrey agar mera aur Maan ka ye sab chakkr nahin hota toh tum abhi take bas college romance me hi lage rahte..meri wajah se tumhen approval mila uncle auntie se.'' Geet tried to lift her invisible collar while as Dev looked at her with his raise brows
"Is that so?''
"Bilkul.''
"Par badle me main tum dono ke liye bali ka bakra ban gaya na.. So scores are equal.'' Dev frowned and Geet frowned at him in return for not feeling grateful towards her..Then she remebered
"Dev...tumhen nahin lagta ki hame Naina ko ye sab bata dena chhaiye? Tiembahut kam hai hamaare paas. Agar usko hamaari so called engagement ke bare me pata chala toh bechaari bahut pareshaan ho jayegi.'' Geet looked at Dev and Dev thought for a while
Mujhe lagta hai tu theek bol rahi hai..Kal hum college me usko sab bata denge jab Maan aas paas nahin hoga.'' Dev said and Geet nodded
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Maan in his room did not know what to do.. It was all his foolishness that he was in such condition today.. He wished that he hadn't said all that about Geet in front of his parents.. He wished that he would have act like some sane man..But now he had lost all the chances..
He was in his room from he did not know how long.. It was the time for the dinner and the servant came to call him..
He was not all in mood to have dinner but he went down and sat on the chair near Dev,,
"Maan subah se kahaan tha?'' Rima asked him but he did not say a word..
"Tumhen pata hai na kido din baad Geet aur dev ki engagement hai... aur tum dhyaan rakhna iss baar..Dobara se in dono ko kuchh ulta seedha mat bhadka dena.. Geet her haal me iss ghar ki bahu ban ke rahegi.''Raj said in stern voice..
"main kuchh kahna chhata hoon.'' Maan said looking at his parents
All eyes stayed on him hoping for something good coming about Geet and him.. Dev's eyes were twinkling expecting Maan to accept his feeling for Geet.. That was he would have been saved by the torture of pretending to be Geet's fianc..
"Bol na Maan ..kya kahna hai?'' Rima encouraged him
"main kahna chahta hoon ki.'' He looked at his family once and then said "Aap log aisa nahin kar sakte.. Geet ki engagement Dev ke saath nahin kar sakte.'' He stopped fpr a moment and Rima Raj and Dev changed their postures at their places thinking that the time had come they were waiting for..
"Kyun?''
"Kyunki..Kyunki..Dev kisi aur se pyaar karta hai. Geet iske saath kaise khush rah paayegi. Toh zabardasti kyun kar rahe hain aap log?''
And the excitement which was gearing up in their body went in drain when they heard him.They were like "What nonsence he is talking.. seedhe seedhe kyun nahin bolta ki wo Geet se pyaar karta hai.''
"jab dev aur Gete ready hain to tujhe kyun problem hai..'' Raj said looking at him
"Tum uski chinta mat karo.. Time ke saath sab theek ho jaayega..Hai na Dev?'' Rima glared at Dev and he lowered his head
"Ji Mom..''
Maan was more disappointed by this and excused himself and went from their making an excuse of not feeling hungry.. Trio looked at his retreating figure and exchanged their looks
"Kaisa bewakoof beta diya hai bhagwaan ne.'' Rima cribbed..sab kuchh bolega bas wahi nahin bolega jo bolna hai''
"Mom ..par bechaare ki halat kharaab hai.. majnu jaisa ban gaya hai ye to.. '' Dev smiled
"Accha hai.. kaam hi aise kiye hain to anjaam bhi to iss ko sahna hai na'' Rima cribbed
Raj laughed.. "haan sach me.. Par kahin hum uske saath jyada cruel to nahin ho rahe hain na?''
"arrey main to iss bewakoof ki help kar rahi hoon indirectly.. warna isko to kabhi pata hi nahin chalta ki ye Geet ke liye hamesha se itna possessive kyun hai.. ..ab kam se kam isko ehsaas to ho raha hai na ki ye pyaar karta hai uss se. usko kitne mouke diye apni baat kahne ke par uski sui ek hi jaagah par atki hui hai.. bas thoda aur push karne ki zaroorat hai.. ye khud hi accept karega.''Rima said shaking her head with disappointment
Maan was sitting in his room ans was in very bad mood.. He was some time sitting on bed and then next moment was on pacing mode..
He was feeling very restless.. and someone Knocked in side of his head..
"Kya hua Maan..itne bechain kyun ho?''
"jaise tumhen nahin pata ki main aise kyun behave kar raha hoon?'' he was now very used to debate with himself
"Dev aur Geet ke rishte se tum kyun itne pareshaan ho?''
"kyunki Dev naina se pyaar karta hai.'' Maan put his reason ahead
"haan.. par jab wahi shadi ke liye ready hai to tumhen kya..Umm Kahin koi aur baat to nahin?''
"Aur? Aur kya baat ho sakti hai?'' Maan frowned
"Mujhe lagta hai ki tum nahin chhate ki Geet aur Dev shadi Karen..par reason Naina nahin.. tum khud ho.''
"Main?''
"Haan..Mujhe aisa lagta hai ki tum Geet ke liye kuchh alag sa feel karte ho..Tumehn samajh nahin aa raha ..par mujhe pata hai ki wo kya hai?''
Kya hai?'' Maan snapped with some irritation
"Pyaar..Maan ..ye pyaar hai..Tum Geet se pyaar karte ho. Waise mujhe lagta hai ki tum pyaar to hamesha se hi karte the uss se..par shayad ehsaas nahin tha tumhen.. ab jaake ehsaas hua tumhen?''
"Are you sure? Iss..isko hi pyaar kahte hain?'' He stammered
"Umm mujhe to aisa hi lagta hai..maine to bas ek inner sense hoon jo kabhi jhooth nahin bolta..baki tumhaari marzi..''
Maan sat with a thud in his bed
"Pyaar?'' He thought but next time he was so dejected
"par ab toh kuchh nahin ho sakta na..Mom dad ne kitni baar poochha mujhse maine har aar mana kar diya..ab kya bolun unko jaakar ki main Geet se pyaar karta hoon? Aur geet ka kya? Wo to aisa nahin sochti na mere bare me..issiliye to usne Dev se shadi ke liye haan kar di.. wo bol bhi rahi thi na ki uske paas mana karne ka koi reason bhi nahin tha..iska matlab uske dil me mere liya aisa kuchh nahin hai.'' He was in such an indecisive state that he was not able to decide anything..He laid in bed thinking and closed his eyes..But he could only see Geet's face with his closed eyes.. He sat in bed again..
"Jo main mehssos kar raha hoon Geet ke liye..agar usko hi pyaar kahte hain..to haan ..Main Geet se pyaar karta hoon..Par kisi ko aise hi jaake to bol nahin sakta..Geet toh aisa kuchh feel nahin karti..Umm ..Kya karun? Kuchh to karna hi padega.''
And he looked in to his phone and searched for a number
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Next morning Maan did not go to college making an excuse of not feeling well.. And to Dev and Geet's surprise Naina too was absent..
Dev and Geet talked about that
"Geet..Naina kyun nahin aayi?''
Mujhe kya pata? Tum phone karo usko.'' Geet suggested
Dev called Naina but her phone was switched off
"Phone switched off hai.''
"Achha? Phone kyun band karke rakha hai Naina ne?''
"Geet mujhe kuch gadbad lag rahi hai.. Mujhe Naina se milna hai. Please help me.''
Geet looked at him and nodded ..She too found it little weird that naina was absent and her phone was switched off..
They both went to Naina's place.. "Arrey Geet .. come in.'' Naina's mother opened the door
"Hello Auntie..Naina kahaan hai? Aaj college nahin aayi?''
"pata nahin kya hua hai usko kal raat se ek dum chupchaap hai.. kal raat dinner bhi nahin kiya. Bol rahi hai ki taiyat theek nahin hai.'' Dev became tensed hearing her..he looked at Geet with a restlessness in his eyes
Geet had been at Naina's place before too as her friend but Dev was there for the first time..
Geet introduced Dev to Naina's mother whle she handed glasses of water to both of them..
"Auntie ..Ye Dev hai mera bachpan ka dost .. Naina ka bhi dost hai..Kya hum mil sakte hain uss se?''
"haan haan jaao na.. wo apne kamre me hai..Upar jaake right side third room.'' Naina's mother told them
"Thanks Auntie.'' Dev and Geet hurried towards the direction Naina's mother told..
Geet knocked at the door..and then she remembered that she had forgotten her phone which she might have kept on the dining table when nania's mother gave them water to drink..
"Main apna phone leke aati hoon.'' Geet went back.. and came back few minutes later. She entered the room and saw the scene there.. Roam was messed up ..It seemed as if some hurricane just had passed from there..all the pillows and cushions were on the floor..some magezines to were lying there in a messy condition
She looked at naina who was standing with a cushion in her hand as if she was ready to throw it
Then she moved her gaze to look where dev was and she found him standing in a corner with his both hands on his head and face to protect his handsome face from getting ruined by that tigress who was standing in front of him like a tigress
"Wow mujhe nahin pata tha ki tumhaare yahaan mehmaano ka swagat aise karte hain.Ya phir ye pyaar ka koi naya style hai? Par mujhe nahin lagta ki cushions se chot lagegi...'' Geet smiled and then looked here and there and her eyes fell on a matelic vase..She picked it up and handed to Naina..
"iss se maaro...Chot ke size se hi to pata chalega na kit um dono ka pyaar kitna gahra hai..''
Dev looked at her
"Geet.. pagal ho gayi hai kya.''and came behind her..
"pahle hi iske to sar par khoon sawaar hai.. aur tu hai ki usko aur provoke kar rahi hai.''
Naina too looked at Geet "Oh to tum dono saath aaye ho..sharam to aayi nahin saath aate hue? Kya dekhne aaye ho dono ki tumhaari engagement ki news ke baad Naina ka kya haal hai?'' and Geet and dev both was so shocked to know that naina was aware of their so called engagement
"Tumhen kisne bataya?'' Geet asked
"Tumhen kya farak padta hai ki kisne bataya. Sach to wahi hai na.'' Naina started to cry.. She was trying not to cry since she got the news because she did not want her mom to susec her for anything but seeing both of them in front of her could not control herself
"E...ek minute Naina..Maan.. Maan ne bataya tumhen?'' Geet looked at naina to confirm her doubt as she could only think of in that situation
And naina stopped crying and looked at Geet .. And Geet understood
She hit her own head. .. "Ho gaya syaapa.'' Dev too was little relieved as he was sure that he would get a chance to convince Naina
"Ye Maan itna buddhu kyun hai? ' Geet looked at Dev and he shrugged his shoulders
"Mujhe aise kyun dekh rahi hai.. muje kaise pata ki wo itna buddhu kyun hai? Hum saath paida hue hain iska matlab ye nahin ki uski bewakoofi ke liye main bhi responsible hoon''..He defended himself
Naina was confused as they both were talking about Maan
"Ye sab kya baate kar rahe ho dono? Agar Maan ne mujhe sach bataya toh isme wo bewakoof kaise ho gaya.. usne to apna farz nibhaya mujhe bata ke.''
"Farz my foot. Usne toh aaj mera break up hi karwa diya tha'' Dev said and looked at her. "Naina.. dekho aisa kuchh nahin hai.. Mere aur Geet ke beech aisa kuch bhi nahin hai. Hum dono hamesha ke jaise friends hi hain''
"Toh woh engagement ki baat?''
"Umm wo sach hai.'' This time Geet said and looked at naina whose eyes were wider with shock..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
At KM
Rano entered the house..
"Rima.. chal zara.. Geet ke liye engagement ki dress leke aate hain..''
Rima gave a thumb up to Rano to be there on time..She saw Maan coming down.. He was in such a pathetic mood and she could guess how he was feeling right now
"Umm..Rano.. mere sar me bahut dard hai..ek kaam karo tum Maan ko le jaao.?'' And Rano looked at Maan.. Then she smiled looking at Rima and Rima winked at her
"maan puttar..zara chal mere saath.'' Maan looked at her
"Kahaan?''
"Arrey Geet ki engagement dress laani hai aur wo ladki hai ki sunti hi nahin.. usko koi interest hi nahin ha shopping me..usni college se chhutti bhi nahin li ..Tu chal na mere saath..Geet ka best friend hai tu..tujhe ache se pata chalega ki uss par kya achha lagega.. Please beta meri help kar de.''
Maan looked at Rano's pleading expressions and nodded..
He took her to a showroom where they could get the dreeses for wedding functions..
Rano started to gave a look to the traditional dresses..
She picked up a red lehanga and showed it to Maan
"Maan ye kaisa lagega Geet par? Achha lagega na?'' Rano looked at him and asked but saw him lost somewhere..
"Maan..Kya soch raha hai? Help kar na meri.. Bata kaisa lagega ye Geet par?'' Maan woke up from his lost state and starred at the lehanga..Then he looked at Rano..
"Umm auntie..ye achha nahin hai.Engagement hai shadi nain'' He rejected that dress
"Umm to tum dekho tumhen kaun sa pasand hai.. She left him alone and went another side of the counter and had her eyes on him.. She saw him talking to a salesman while pointing at dress..She smiled seeing the scene infront of her
Maan had held one dress in his hand and moved his fingers on it..The feel was very soft and color was too beautiful..It was a combination of white and golden..Salseman called a sales girl and ask her to display that dress on her..The salse girl held the dress in front of her and Maan could see Geet smiling behind that dress..
"Maan achhi hai na?'' and his eyes were wide..
"Geet.''
"Sir mera naam geet nahin Rashi hai.'' He heard the salesgirl and felt little embarrassed
"Sorry..main kuchh aur soch raha tha.'' Rano was grinning like a teenager behind Maan..She had witnessed the moment..
She came ahead and looked at the dress
Maan tumne ye pasand ki hai Geet ke liye? Bahut achhi hai..'' and she ordered the salesman to pack that..
They came out of the showroom
"Maan..tumne apne liye shopping kar li?'' Rano asked
"Huh?'' Maan was confused..
"Arrey engagement par pahanne ke liye..'' Rano looked at him
Maan looked at her puzzled
"Mera matlab hai Dev aur Geet ki engagement ke liye?''
"Oh'' Maan said "Mujhe zaroorat nahin hai auntie..mere paas bahut kade hain
"arrey aise kaise.. Tumhaar bhai ki engagement hai tumhaari BF ke saath..kapde to lene hi padenge.'' Rano pulled him towards a men showroom
"BEST FRIEND.'' This word was nor most irritating word for him.. It felt like someone was pouring melting glass in his ears He hated that word now..
In the showroom Rano showed him various outfits but he wasn't interested at all..Rano was little bit irritated on him now..He was behaving like a kid whose favourite toy was going to be snatched away and he could not do anything other than looking at his toy..He had lost interested in any other thing other than his that toy..
"Maan.. pasand kar na jaldi se.. Late ho raha hai Puttar.'' She was feeling bad for him.. He did not move at all
"Maan..'' Rano scolded him like he was a little kid..'Engagement hai to kapde to lene hi padenge na,.aise kaise ja sakta hai engagement me.. Geet ke saamne achha nahin lagega na puraane kapdon me.'' She was irritated so she almost spilled all the beans but realised what she just had blabbered..
Maan ooked at him confused
"Aunty Geet aur Dev ki engagement hai.. Toh mere acchhe lagne ya na lagne se kya farak padta hai?''
Rano really felt bad and how much she wanted to comfort him but the angry faces of whole the family danced in front of her so she controlled herself and said
"Haan to kya hua agar Geet ki engagement Dev ke saath hai..iska matlab ye to nahin na ki tum Geet aur Dev ke saamne feeke lago..arrey iske baad tumhaari shadi bhi to honi hai na..Engagement me bahut saari ladkiyaan aayengi ..kya pata tumhen koi pasand hi aa jaaye ..Do chaar ladkiyon par to pakaa bikjli girni chhaiye mere iss handsome munde ko dekh ke.''
Even her this much praises for Maan could not make him feel good,,he was still not interested
Rano cleared her throat and once more tried to distract him "ab chhod wo sab jaldi select kar apne liye.'' Rano chided him
"Aapko jo achha lage wo le lijiye aunty.. Mujhe kuchh samajh nahin aa raha'' Maan put his weapons in front of her
"Aur please auntie.. Thoda jaldi kijiye.. Mujhe ghar jaldi jana hai..Urgent kaam hai.'' He said absentmindedly..
Rano looked at his face and felt very bad for him.. If she could wish she would have told him but she remembered the angry glares of Rima and threatening eyes of Geet and controlled her heart not to melt for him and tell anything to him..
She consoled herself in her heart "Thand paa Rano thand pa..Itni besabri mat dikha..bas do din ki baat hai..Sab theek ho jana hai. gahri saans ander le aur bahar chhod. ye sab issi ki bhalaayi ke liye hai'' She convinced herself and felt happy as she thought but did not show on face..She selected a sherwani set for him to wear..Rano showed it to him and he nodded without giving it a proper lok He even did not notice that his attire was of matching with Geet's dress
After done with their shopping they both headed towards KM..
Precap- Will Geet need to work on Plan B?😉
