(Flashback starts)
70 hours ago. Khurana Mansion. The Morning after Geet and Aayan's infamous sangeet was over.
"What about Geet?? She will suffer in this... you guys know our culture right... The inquisitive voice of Aayush the elder brother of Aayan came through as Garv, Madhurima and Maan entered that humongous drawing room!!
"She is extremely pretty...Kuch din baad log sab bhul jayenge...She will get someone else! Who knows maybe she already has a boyfriend...Bas dabao mein aake haan bola hoga shaadi ke liye...Waise bhi kaal Geet ne bhi kaunsa kam tamasha kiya sharab pi ke...Sab toh samajh rahe hain uski shaadi Maan se hone wali hogi jis tarha se dono sath mein thhey!!! Aayan's mother spoke while not meeting her eyes with any of the people present there!!
"Ye kaisi baatein kar rahe ho aaplog!! This time it was Maan's father Garv who spoke with disbelief in his eyes while everyone looked at his appalled expressions!!
"Garv...Madhu..Maan...Accha huwa tum log bhi aa gaye...Hum ne ek faisala liya hain...We are breaking the alliance with Handa's..Woh toh baas papa ke zidd ke wajah se hum chup thhey...Par aab khair...And Madhu tumhe Handa sahab ko ye batana hain!! Kuch bhi bahana ban do... Aadarsh spoke in his casual voice as if it's not a big of a deal!!
"They are not suitable for our family... Aayush appended while Garv seethed in fury, "Ye kiya naya bakwas hain?? Do din pehle tak toh they were perfect?? Abhi achanak? Yahatak kaal raat tak aaplog Mohin ko convince karne pe tuley huwe thhey...
We are not really sure that Aayan is telling the truth...Ye bhi toh ho sakta hain he just got scared seeing all chaos of the wedding...Aur bahana bana raha hain...
"Iska wajah Aayan hain hi nahin chachu...
You know what really kabhi kabhi jo hota hain woh acche ke liye hota hain...God just saved us...I can't believe it...
Handa& Co has lost 67% of market share.
We just got informed through an inside source... The words Aayush delivered sounded like greedy venom spewing up!!
"Now it's clear to me why Mohindar Handa was so eager to get his daughter married!!! Vidya, Aayan's sister and Maan's cousin added some more fuel as Maan was just spectating all of them in a dead silence!!
"Vidya is right.. Waise bhi Aayan se galti huwi hain iska matlab ye nahin hain ki ek bankrupt insaan se rishta jodenge hum!! Another awful comment being passed by Aayan's mother!!
"More important than all that is Mohindar now has total 60 crores estimated loan in his name!! Now he lost the shares too... Tomorrow he might sell that house and all properties...Sooner or later humpe aane wala tha ye toh...Vidya sipped her coffee in leisure while looking at Maan's stern face, "Papa ne bohot mehnat ki hain Khurana Construction ko maintain karke rakhne ke liye...Baas daadaji ne kab kisko kiya wadah kiya inn sabke wajah se hum kyun bhugte!!!" Indirect taunt delivered towards Maan and his father as Vidya shot a brief cornerned gaze.
"So wedding cancel?? Confirmed??
Since now All of a sudden Mohindar Handa is a big culprit... Shooting a spiteful smirk towards Vidya, Maan asked maintaining calmness with great difficulty!!
"No doubt in that!! Aayush sounded firm, a smirk appearing on his face.
"Waah...Veerji...Parzayi ji...
Kaal raat tak toh aap logone decide kiya ke Mohindar ko Aayan ka sach batana farz tha lekin phir bhi mahol theek karne ki kaushish karenge...Kal tak toh badnami se bada darr lag raha tha??
Par aab ye nahin socha kisi ne ke Geet ka kiya hoga...Ek bar uss bacchi ke...Maan can't forget the look his mother had while speaking to all those people who he thought of having blood relations!!!
But only blood relations that proved to be. Because their thinking can never sway away like that!!
"Fine, we will find someone suitable for her!! Their audacity just keeps growing!!
In this all Savitri didn't come down from upstairs, she only spectated all the bickering silently.
"Zaroorat nahin hain...but...What about Aayan?? Maan questioned, his jaws clenched, anger almost blinded him still he remained at his composed self!!
"Aayan ne jo kiya uske baad it's not important what he wants!! Vidya replied with a pause, "And yes...We are confirmed...This marriage was never meant to be Maan!!
"Right...I agree...Kyun ki mera beta Maan is the one who is going to marry her!! An irritated Garv took a step towards the gate after dropping the bomb!!
"WHATTT!!?? Wait... They all rhymed in unison, sparing frowns!!
"Itna choukiye mat...
Bankrupt insaan ki beti ki kiya shaadi nahin hoti!!!
Hum toh shuru se chahte thhey ke Maan ki shaadi ho Geet se...Par Maan ne mana kar diya tha, mujhe bhi laga tha ki hamare family mein aake woh match nahin kar payegi...Aapke ghar mein zayada khush rahegi... Isliye maine bhi zayada zorr nahin lagaya tha...Aab aap sabne woh problem bhi solve kar diya!!
Shaadi toh hogi...aaj se 4 din baad ke usi mahurat pe hi hogi...Papaji ka wada bhi nahin tootega...
Chalo Maan... Madhu had a fiery commanding tone as she walked off from that toxic space!!
Maan, who himself was on the verge of offering the same solution couldn't be happier!!
Moreover, it was a great relief that now he would at least not answer the 500 probable questions Madhu might have asked regarding his sudden mind change!!
Why do you want to Marry Geet now?
Why did you say no first?
Everything is your fault that things are so messed up now!!!
Yes...Everything is his fault after all...All his life he was very punctual but when the need for being punctual to recognize the true life partner, Maan was slower than the tube light!!
After fidgeting for quite a while Maan's family reached the Handa residence. It's not a healthy situation to divulge all those new atrocious additions!!
That too in a circumstance where Mohindar is going through such a financial crisis! But the sooner they tell the better. Good thing is that Savitri tagged along. She seemed quite dismayed of what her eldest son's(Aadarsh) family offered in their thoughts!!!
And there, Madhuri was preparing herself to be slammed and even getting rejected but that doesn't mean she will not try for once!!
Another problem existed that she didn't even ask Maan once and he seems awfully quiet. Maybe this can be counted as somehow forcing him into the marriage but she knows her son that much!! It's quite different than the first time he was reluctant. After last night something is not the same inside his eyes!!
Amidst all the tension manifesting they gathered the last bit of mettle then Garv, Madhurima, and Savitri meekly kept their proposal in front of Geet's father. With Maan's parents and grandmother's persuasion, a perplexed Mohindar did reach to that conclusion all of them thought at the very first beginning!!! And then the rest is history!!!
However, Maan knew it was not an easy task to handle miss tufanmail Handa!! And presently Geet is just proving how right he anticipated!!
(Flashback ends)
"Ye kabse zameen ko ghoore jaa raha hain...pata nahin kaun sa naya natak hain... Murmuring to herself Geet waved her palm before Maan's dazed eyes, "Oye...Sawal floor ne nahin maine pucha hain...Idhar hoon main, idhar...Zara dekhne ki takleef karenge Maan ji??? Sarcasm brimmed from her voice as Maan focused his dark browns back at her scrunched eyebrows!!
"Toh tum kiya keh rahi thi?? Haan nafrat...
Geet...?? So you hate me!!!
Toh tum mujhe isiliye ye knife se chot bhi pahochana chahti thi?? His handsome face grew mysterious, feeling nervous Geet backed off a little!!
"Aaa...Aur...naa.. nahin toh kk..kiya...Itna tezi se agar aapka dimag chalta hain toh... As she started Maan halted her by shoving the knife back inside her hands, "Fine...Chalo kato...I am all yours...Waiting...
Agar nafrat hain toh nafrat sahi... He had some unreal amount of conviction in his vocals which sent chills down Geet's throat!!
She immediately put her hands down in a reflex while Maan raised his eyebrows, those perfect m shaped lips crooking in a sinful smirk!! Rubbing the dry windpipes Geet searched desperately for some words to evade the situation while Maan was stepping closer by erasing all the gaps between them!!
"K..k..k..kiya behudgi hain...Ye koi zunoon wali movie chal rahi hain?? Sanki aashiq ho aap!!?? Psycho!!" Though Chilled till her stomach, Geet somehow fluttered those words out in the need of keeping her unaffected act alive, "Yaar maine toh socha tha aap shareef type ho...Pat aap ho bade besharam aur dheet types nikle..!! Haat choro na mera... Twisted her wrist to set free where his dead grip remained still while her face scrunched in terror!!
"Shayad tumne theek se suna nahin, maine aapna character certificate nanin manga tumse... It's his stern voice which makes her oddly weak and that was just back, "I said come on..Do it...Let the blade pierce as your wish... Maan thundered at a stupified Geet who was stepping backward like a scared kitten witnessing his sternness!!
Death must be near now!! That too a psychotic one!!
