Part 3
Then maan just decided to call himself. He called on papajis number. Papaji noticed it was maan. He immediately answered - I will give to geet one minute.
Maans heart just skipped a beat he got nervous & cut the call. closing his eyes tightly

Papaji -
tumhare liya call hain & gives the phone to geet
Geet -
hellow..hellow!!! papaji kis ka phone hain cut hogaya shayad
She redials & without seeing the number
Maan picks up in one ring
Geet -
sorry cut ho gaya tha' her voice ' sounded so sweet he could just fall for it now.
when she said that in the call & papaji replied for her question -
maan ka phone hain
she bit her lip & didn't know what to say next
His restlessness was heard in his irregular breath, so was hers. She shied hearing him breath so heavily, so did he. Both were lost in hearing each others heavy irregular breath until sasha
knocked the peeped in & said MK clients are waiting. He snapped back in anger -
can't u see I am on an important call. Just tell them to wait. She took the phone & went to her room sat behind the bed on the floor cuddled up. She liked he gave so much of importance to their call & felt tickled hearing his voice, dominating, stern so manly. She rested the phone on her chest & started to breath heavy & her heart was beating louder and louder with every passing minute. Maan just realized she would have heard him shouting & hit his head with the phone. He cleared his throat & kept the phone back to his ear. He could hear her heart beat clearly. The soft sound of the beat sent shiver in him. He could stand there & listen to it the whole day.
Geet realized what she was doing & kept the phone near her ear wondering if he was still on the call. She could hear him breath normally now. He could hear her bangles move as she lifted the phone to her ears. As the phone was near her earlobe, touched her ear he could hear the jhumkas shaking. He smiled wondering how he was listening and concentrating on her breathing, then her heart beat, her bangles now jhumka. Geet was restless now with his silence. She murmured
babaji yeh tho kuch bolte Kyun Nahi. Maan murmured
kya bollon rubbing his temple. She could now again feel the restlessness
In him she began to realize he was as nervous or conscious as she was. She sat comfortably now. Maan paced in his office cabin, wanted to tell her so many things but didn't know how to start
Kya kahon? U have beautiful eyes..nahi pehli bari main .. usse galat nahi lagna chahiyan.
Finally he put all his attitude together &
woh ..
hi jiju screamed raji
Maan ate his words & said -
hi
Raji -
jiju thoda bahut saali se bhi baat karlo
Geet made a face when raji snatched the phone away from her
Maan -
kahiya saali shahiba kya kahna hain
Raji -
jiju aapki voice tho bahut aachi hain
Maan -
thanxs, tumhari bhi
Raji -
jiju aapko humari didi pasand tho hain na?
Geet was curious about the answer
Maan -
aise kyun puch rahi ho?
Raji -
u never came to see her that's why
Maan -
actually I didn't want to get confused
Raji -
why confused? Geet was getting restless seeing her giggle & maan talking so much to her. Maan -
agar mujhe tum pasand aagaye tho, phir main tuhare didi ko kya kehta?
Raji -
jiju waise bhi saali tho adhi gharwali hoti hain
Geet snatched the phone -
hogaya mujhe phone do keeping the hand on the mike
He knew she was taking the phone from her hearing those bangles dangling.
She pushed her out of the room & closed the door. Took a deep breath & kept the phone
To her ears, he kept smiling listening to her every move in detail. She could hear him smile
She smiled and shied. Papaji came in -
geet aapki maan se baat hogayee I need the phone now. Maan desperately wanted to say even she wanted to. But both reluctantly cut the call & gave
the phone to papaji.
Sasha came in again & reminded him that client was waiting. He decided to call her latter.
Geet cuddled up into the pillow looking at his picture kuch bolte kyun nahi. Mujhe aapse kitnai
Sari baaten karni thi. Raji se baat ki mujhe se nahi, that is not fair, javoo main nahi bolti
Hellow to bol hi sakte the. But I think mujhe aap aache lag rahe ho..thode thode she shied & hid her face under the pillow. In the meeting maan still found himself surrounded with her heart
beat, bangles dangling & jhumkas uff her breathing, he smiled everyone looked at him wondering why he smiled. He didn't bother, just continued with his work.
After dinner maan came to his room, he took his phone & dialed her number & cut it.
Kya bolon, kitna late hogaya, she may be sleeping. Aacha sms kar deta hoon.
He types..hi.. deletes it then good night nahi gets confused & sends a blank sms
Geet sees a new message & reads it with a sleepy eyes.. sits up at once seeing it from
Maan. She immediately checks it. blank iska kya matlab huwa. She looks at him in the picture
Badmashi kar rahe ho? She sends a blank sms back
He excitedly checks it & smiles seeing it blank. He kisses the screen & sleeps.
Geet umm tho woh unka good night sms tha.. sleeps cuddling up with his snap under the pillow.
Next day morning maan again sends a bank message & she replies it blank.
They probably did that the whole day. 2 days passed, geet & family reached delhi.
Evening was mehendi ceremony. Geet , raji & rano went to the parlor in the morning.
Maans car went to pick them. Driver dropped her to the parlor. She forgot her hanky in the car seat
Driver - maam when should I come to pick u
Rano - 3hrs
Driver - ji maam
Driver went back to office to pick maan. He came in & felt something strange in the car
He noticed some bangle pieces & a hanky. He asked the driver who used his car?
Driver - sir woh geet maam ko parlor drop kiya tha
He was thrilled that she was in this car few minutes ago. He took the hanky that still carried her scent. It was really intoxicating he thought. He took the bangle piece in his hand & admired it, then kept it in his pocket. He immediately opened his laptop bag & removed the paper which he kept secretly there. He kept the mehendi design paper which he printed out for her wrapped up in the hanky & told the drive to tell geet that he has kept the hanky in the side pocket.
The car latter went to pick geet from the beauty parlor. She felt a strange warmth inside the car.
When they were getting off at the hotel, driver told geet - maan sir has kept ur hanky in the side pocket. She immediately removed it & noticed there was a paper folded in the hanky. Her heart just missed a beat, Didn't know what to expect from the paper. She clutched it in her hand between the hanky & went to her room. She closed the door behind & slowly opened it. she saw the mehendi design. She blushed unhe kitna khayal hain mera, he actually searched a design for me & took a print out for me. She kissed it...& blushed.
