PART1
LONDON, 7am ......the alarm is buzzing....... a hand comes
out of the duvet and hits the alarm clock to shut it. After 15 minutes an
extremely handsome man emerges out of the duvet like a greek god rubbing his
eyes. He looks adorably at his family picture kept on the side table and proceeds
to the washroom to freshen up. While he is brushing his teeth a reminder in his
phone beeps. He looks at the reminder and his face lightens up: tomorrow is his
beloved's 24th birthday. he quickly gargles and take a bath. He gets
ready to go for his shoot. Today he has only one assignment to complete. He slogs
and tries to complete the assignment as soon as possible. It is already 7pm and
he has yet not planned for the surprise party. He has to make it very special
as today the love of his life will finally be agreeing to his proposal of
getting married. He goes into the flashback.......
3 MONTHS BACK, SATURDAY 9PM.
His cell phone rings and his mamma has called.
Maan: hi mom..... how r u doing. How is everybody back home?
How is my darling girlfriend doing (grand mom).
Mom: Maan it has been a year since we have been sending you
different marriage proposals, but you have been out rightly rejecting all of
them. Maan after finishing your Mba your dad wanted you to join the family
business, but you didn't want to do it. we as your parents have always wanted
you to be happy. You said you want to become a fashion photographer, we agreed.
Then you said London has better
opportunities and you want to go there, we agreed to this also. What is it beta?
Do you like somebody?
Maan thinks: he has not mentioned anything about marriage to
her. Whenever he has earlier talked to her about she has always said that it is
too early. He is not sure what to tell his mom as Aakansha is not ready now but
he decides to formally ask her tomorrow.
Mom: Maan are you there??
Maan snaps out of his thoughts and replies: yes mom. Please give
me some time. As i have taken up some important assignments and will not be
able to come home for another two months. Once i come back then we can talk
about it.
Mom: ok beta. We will not force you. Take care of yourself.
Maan: bye and take care mom, say hi to sweetheart.
Maan disconnects the call and thinks. Then he calls Aakansha-
hi jaan. Wassup?
Aakansha: nothing much, going to have dinner.
Maan: missing me???
Aakansha: hmmmm......
Maan: care for a lunch date?
Aakansha: yeah sure.
Maan: then see you 1pm at the Presidency.
Aakansha: done. Bye. Love you..........
muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Maan: muaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Next day at 1pm at the Presidency, Aakansha arrives dressed
in a beautiful red Valentino, looking absolutely stunning. A waiter approaches
her and takes her to the poolside. As soon as see reaches the site she is
awestruck. It is beautifully decorated with white carnations and red ribbons. A
man dressed in black Versace suit looking all debonair approaches her and asks
the lady for the dance. As they are lost in each other's arm swaying on soft romantic
ballad, Maan kneels down and proposes her for marriage. Aakansha looks at him
all astonished and then moves to the table.
Maan pulls the chair for her and makes her sit. Aakansha is
all lost in thoughts.
Maan: have i said something wrong or inappropriate?
Aakansha snaps out and says: Maan you know I am yet not
ready for marriage. I have to look at my career. As you know in this profession
there is no place for married women.
Maan: it is not like that jaan. I am also in the same
profession. I work with so many models, married or unmarried. This does not
hold any importance if you are talented and beautiful. We have been in a
relationship for almost 2 years now. I think it is time for us to get married. Then
i will not have to sneak at night in your house and can have you completely for
myself always. I will not stop you from working even after marriage.
Aakansha: it's not like that. Most of the photographers and
agencies do not prefer to work with married models. Leave this after marriage
we will have to go back to India then what will happen to my career? Will your
family members allow me to do modelling after marriage?
Maan: my family is not the conservative ones. They have
allowed my sis to become a fashion designer. They are open to women working and
being independent. Anyways after the marriage we will be living in India, and
there also i will be there working with you, so you don't have to worry. I am
sure you will love my family members.
Aakansha: ok, give me some time to think and complete my
prior commitments.
Maan: done. After 3 months your birthday is coming. That
will be the day when we finally decide about our marriage and i will make you
talk to my family members on the conference call.
Aakansha: done. Now let's eat. I am starving....
Maan's phone rings and he snaps out. : hi rahul, what is the
time?
Rahul: 8pm, you haven't come till now. We need to prepare
for the party.
Maan: dude reaching in 10 mins. The keys are kept under the
doormat. You open the apartment and sit inside.
PRECAP: the surprise...............
