Part 13
" When a guy gives full attention to a girl what's that mean ? "
Geet asked to Tara who has no clue about what Geet saying .
" I don't know "
Geet frowned, of course she should have known better . Tara knows nothing other than study , her world limited to bookish knowlegde . They were in english literature class and today's novel ' Pride And Prejudice ' as lecture going on she starts thinking of possibilities of Maan's weird attention and demand to her . Why he can't leave her alone like he used to , why need to do bets and all ?
" Dracy tried best to avoid unwanted attraction toward Elizabeth, but couldn't ...he drawn to her strong personality "
she tried to concentrate what teacher saying and couldn't help Maan's face came before her . His sudden activities , his talks , his attention making her thinking odd which is not her nature. " ahh what are you doing Geet? It's Maan dhust Singh Khurana not Darcy and you are not certainly some Elizabeth.. " she muttered under her breath , feeling irritate on herself . ' Don't over think ' but her mind still not in peace .. now her main tension is what gonna ask from her.
" What if he ask something big or forbidden like Kis ...." she covered her own mouth before she uttered those ... " uuugghh I need to stop reading novel .. kuch bhi soch rahi hoon main , aur waise bhi woh kuch bhi mang le, I'm not bound to give him that . It's only a silly bet, it's not that he can force me to do something on gun point..."
she was blabbing to herself , not even realise all eyes were on her . Tara gave a littel push to make her aware of her position .
" umm sorry " She smiled awkwardly to Sir and hide her face behind book . For the first she doesn't want class to over , because she doesn't want to face Maan who is ready to punch on her with his demand ..
*******
" Geet , Geet ruk na " Tara run fast to catch up with Geet who getting courage to meet Maan alone . It's already 15 minutes that class eneded and she still not half way to reach where Maan told to meet him .
" kab se bula raha hoon dhayan kaha hai tera "
Geet wanted to share but didn't have courage , as she not sure how Tata will take this bet situation. Tara is different so she couldn't help but fear that she will judge Geet wrongly .
" woh main..."
" you asked me na , When a guy gives full attention to a girl what's that mean ?.. "
Geet not liking where her friend's mind going ' what if she sensed something ? ' she thought worriedly but still nodded encouraging her to say more .
" that means he likes her . " Geet stopped breathing but Tara didn't notice as she engrossed in her phone where she googled this Quito.. " when a girl bully someone or gives much attention to her it's either he hates her or likes her. In 88% times it's liking " Tara finished keeping her phone in her bag " hope this will help for your literature assignment ... ab chalti hoon ha bye .. kal milte hai "
" ha ..oh ya bye "
finally she took sigh of relief realising Tara was only helping her ... and as she is too much into study she joined dots and thought Geet asked that question as part of some project . But her relief was short live as she recalled what Tara said ' hate or lov.. like ..' . First she was scared now she is in miserable condition.
No she not thinking Maan likes her or something, because she is sure that Maan dislike her or probably hate her . Hate is dangerous emotion, it can make people do bad things ... and this is Maan's chance to show his hate . " Babaji please bacha lena " she silently pyared and went to the place with baby step where Maan called her earlier .
********
" You are 24 minutes 15 seconds late " he commented as soon as he saw her .. " you are not some queen ok .. you have no right to make me wait , I hate waiting " she can feel his irritation in his voice, also about to give back but stopped realising she is in tough spot and she needs to play sweet .
" sorry woh i went to library so " she lied not meeting is gaze . Maan looked at her carefully, somehow understood that she is lying..he came before her with slow predator step , too much close to her personal space ..
" are you afraid of me miss goody ? " he asked amused but not showing it on face.. " you scared to meet me alone ?
" scc. Scared no.. I mean why .. "
" but you should .. because I'm gonna ask something and you have to do it . You can't say no I won the bet " he said proudly as if he won some lottery . Geet gluped her saliva waiting for him to continue .
" I'm loving your situation " he admitted shamelessly.. making her angry . " and it will take a lot of hard work to fullfil my demand..so miss goody are you ready ? "
" you don't own me , you just won a mere bet ..if you think I will do something forbi... "
- Butter Chicken. ...
- Sarson Ka Saag Aur Makki Ki Roti. ...
- Chole Bhature. ...
- Masala Channa. ...
- Dal Makhani. ...
- Machchli Amritsari. ...
- Dhaba Dal. ...
- Paneer Tikka
" I want you to cook all of these dishes "
Her mouth wide open in shock hearing Maan's demand . " you want food ? " she asked again to be sure . She thought of many options but never thought he will ask for food .
Maan nodded quickly , Geet can sense he is very much excited . " I want these dishes " he gave her long lists which he said few moments ago " and mind it , I don't want you to miss any of them ... not a single dish " he warned her sternly
She took the list from him , still unsure what's happening .. but composed herself . She should be happy that Maan didn't ask for something bad or weird . She thanks her babaji . The dishes which Maan wanted all are Punjabi and she knows how to make them . But problem is why so many ...
" I am not going to cook for whole crew or some party "
" who said you will cook for many people? "
" then why so many dishes? "
" all for me " he sounded pretty happy like 5 years kids who promised to get chocolate from his parents soon .
" huh !! " she looked at him from head to toe ... " you will eat all of .. " she left her words in mid trying to understand if he joking . How can someone eat so much food that too like maan , who looks so fit .
" hey don't judge , asli Punjabi hoon ok.. we can eat anything and everything . Prepare this all and meet me tomorrow night at 10 pm behind your house lake " saying this he left ... making her worried again ..
" KAL... woh bhi raat ko ... but I can't..." she stopped realising Maan already went from there leaving here again in tension.
