Geet and Maan landed up in Hosiarpur and with Geet's intervention Rasika decides to back off. π
Maan is now thoroughly impressed with Geet π and decides to repay her by making sure she can atleast meet her siblings - Rajji and Titu (god hope I got his name right π€). So he makes arrangements stealthily for the meeting and brings Geet there without telling her what is going on.
Geet: Suniye where are we going.
Maan: Geet do you trust me or not?
Geet: Yes I do.
Geet (to herself): It is not like I have any other choice do I π€
Then all of a sudden Geet sees her brother and sister and is overcome with happiness. All the three siblings run towards each other yelling each other's names at the top of their lungs. π
Maan π²: Keep it down will you people. This is supposed to be a secret meeting. Do you want to invite the whole village to it.π‘ π
Geet and her siblings pay him no heed and are still crying noisily and hugging and kissing each other. π
Maan: They will not listen to me and I hate all this crying. Let me go sit in the car and keep watch. In logon ko tho apna hi hosh nahin hai. π
Maan goes to go sit in the car. Before leaving he notices that Rajji is carrying a bag just like the one Geet used to bring to office and wonders what is in the bag π π€
Maan: Raat ke iss waqt what is she doing with the bag. Maybe she carries the same things Geet does. π
Rajji: We missed you at Raksha bandhan this year. Titu told me he was missing you so much that he would not spend any money on me. He told me I would not get a gift because you would not get a gift. He is so mean π
Geet: Titu is that true.
Titu: Absolutely. I mean come on I always bought the gift for you first and then with whatever money was leftover I bought her a gift. She was hoping for a big gift this time around since you were not there π. So I decided that she will not get any gift at all. Infact I did not even let her tie a Rakhi to me. You always tied it first na. π.
Geet: Sorry I could not send Rakhi this year. I missed you so much.π
They all hug each other and cry noisily π π π driving Maan more nuts so now he closes the windows of the car and turns on some music. π€£
He then relaxes and watches as an amazing scene unfolds before him.
The siblings have a conversation. Then Geet tears and part of her duppata and ties a flower that she plucks in it. In the meantime from her bag Rajji removes a candle, a match box. Geet digs into her bag and comes up with lipstick and a chocolate bar. Maan watches spellbound as Geet uses the lipstick to do her brother's tilak. In the meantime Rajji lights the candle and hands it to Geet who does Aarti for her brother. She then ties the Rakhi that she made on the spot and feeds him some chocolate. Rajji repeats the same procedure. Then both the sisters hug each other and sob noisily and then are joined by Titu.
At this point Maan is ready to throw something at someone because he cannot take this drama anymore. π π π
Maan (to himself): My mental asylum wala idea was spot on. Her whole family is mad. π π π
At the other end of town
One of Brij's cronies relays the news to him that Geet is back in town and is meeting with Rajji and Titu.
Brij: How dare she do this? Just how dare she do this to me? I am sooo angry right now I could kill someone π‘
All his cronies take a step back π π π
Cronie 1: Uhh by how dare she do this you mean come back in town right π€
Brij: No you idiot how can she only meet those 2 and not even invite me to the meeting?π‘
Cronie 2 (hiding behind cronie 1): Uhh....maybe...just maybe... it has something to do with the fact that you tried to kill her the last time. π π π ....you know (trails off)
Brij (wiping his tears): So what? I am still her brother right? Just because I tried to kill her does not mean I am not her brother. I mean I tried to kill her because she is my sister. π
All cronies: Huh π what is this logic????
Just then another cronie comes running to inform Brij that there is a Rakhi ceremony going on.
Brij has a full scale temper tantrum - rolling on the floor, thrashing his arms and lets and so on....just like a little kid π π π. He howls "She did not tie Rakhi to me.......wahhhhhhhhhhhhh" π
Cronies: π π π yeh kya ho raha haiπ π π
Cronie 2 (still hiding π): OK can I make a suggestion?
Brij: What ???
Cronie 2: She has still not left right? So you can get her to tie rakhi. π
Brij: Excellent idea. You are very intelligent. The rest of you are stupid. Let us go.
So they all pile into jeeps and leave.
Back on the other side of town
The three siblings have finished with the rakhi tying stuff and have moved on the exchanging old childhood stories π π π
Every time Maan tries to drag Geet away the three start crying all over again and Maan beats a hasty retreat. π€£
Maan starts thinking he might have to spend the night in the car when things take an even more interesting turn. Brij arrives with his goons π²
Maan: WTH is he doing here.
Brij takes in the scene before him and is very very angry. π² π² π²
He runs towards Geet with the sword but Rajji and Titu block him before Maan can get out of the car.
As they are holding his sword Brij notices the makeshift rakhi on Titu's wrist, the tilak and stops dead in his tracks.
He sits down on the floor and thrashes his arms and legs and has a full scale temper tantrum again. π π π
Geet: He has not changed has he. π³
Rajji and Titu nod their heads sorrowfully.
Maan is stunned on seeing this and gets down from the car and tells Geet to stay behind while he deals with Brij.
Brij: You stay out of this. You have no right to interfere with family matters.π‘
Maan: I am Geet's family now.
Brij immediately attempts to grab Maan's hand. Maan on the other hand thinks he is reaching for Geet and punches him π π π. Brij now has a bloody nose. π²
But Brij looks at Maan's hand and says "Where is your rakhi?"
Maan: Rakhi π
Brij: Well you said you are family now so I thought
Maan (raising his eyebrows): thought what??? π π
Brij: That she might have tied Rakhi to you.
Maan and Geet: What π²
Maan (to Geet): I told you your whole family is mad. Did you listen to me. Now look at the conclusions he draws. He needs to be in an asylum now I tell you.
Brij: Well she did not tie Rakhi to me and so I figured she tied it to you.....considering when I asked you to marry her you refused and all that. π
Maan (Angrily): You moron. That was aeons ago. She is my fiancee now π π π..... how dare you think she is my sister.......GRRRRRR.....I will kill you.....he grabs the sword from one of Brij's men and starts to chase him round and round. π π π
Maan and Brij play running and catching with Maan playing the catcher. π π π The rest of Brij's men stand around and clap. π π π
Finally both are tired but Maan catches Brij and has the tip of the sword pointed to his chest "She is my fiancee you understand. Do you understand". π²
Brij nods fearfully and closes his eyes and repeats "your fiancee got it". π π π
Brij: What was the need to chase me.I mean couldn't you just have told me this?
Maan: Shut up.
Brij: Just one more question. Do you know about.....
Maan: Did I not just ask you to shut up??? π‘ Brij puts both his hands on his mouth and sits silently π π π
Geet comes in between them and says "Forget it let us go."
Maan: Wait Geet. He takes out a ring from his finger and goes down on one knee and tells Geet "please accept this ring as a token of our engagement."
Geet: But I am only your fake......
Maan: Chup bilkul chup. Take the damn ring and let us get out of here before I do something I regret.
Geet is standing there in shock and MSK slips the ring on her finger. π
He puts her in the car and drives away. Geet blows kisses to Rajji and Titu and leaves.
As the car is driving away Brij remembers about the Rakhi and runs behind the car screaming "STOP. She has not tied Rakhi" and Maan sees him and thinks "Idiot. He now thinks he can catch the car. He needs to be locked up in an asylum." π π π
Aaj ke liye itna hi kaafi hai π
