I can't tell u that I LOVE U # 1 - Page 33

Pari broke off the hug

Pari : bus bahot drama hogayi ... now It's time for us to celebrate, time for one more treat Geet

Geet(smiled) : one more treat... hmmm pari ok we will celebrate, just wait for a moment

She opened the sweet box which her mother gave at airport

Geet : Pari this is for for u

Pari : Oh NO!!! Not again no Geet plz i don't want to eat sweets, whenever u return from ur home town u will feed me sweets not this time...i am on diet, plz don't feed me these sweets

Geet: no excuses... u have to eat these, what did u say at the airport i am becoming fat...this is the punishment for teasing me, u have to eat them

Saying so GEET forcefully fed one Rasgolla in Pari's mouth.

Pari: enough GEET plz let me go

Pari ran away from Geet counting the calories in the Rasgolla she ate just now. Geet went towards MAAN and offered sweets to him.

GEET: MAAN have some sweets

MAAN: i don't like sweets

GEET: common u can have atleast one bite, don't u want to share my happiness

MAAN: no nothing like that i just don't ...

"no way u r not going to escape from me" saying so she fed him a sweet with her own hands. Maan ate the sweet.

GEET: Maan thanq very much for ur support, otherwise I wouldn't be able to convince my father so easily

MAAN: that's ok

They have decided who are going to stay at which room, started unpacking their luggage and modifying the rooms according to their convenience.

Pari : i am feeling hungry

GEET: we will go outside and have something

PARI: MAAN r u coming with us?

MAAN: hmmm yes, let's go

They are searching if there is any restaurant nearby, they are walking on the roads of the city enjoying the chillness of the cold weather, the trees, slight snow fall, the buildings, the traffic, the people around them and everything. They have come across a departmental store and decided to buy some groceries. PARI and GEET got themselves busy in shopping the necessary provisions. They have picked up some fruits, few vegetables, corn flakes, fruit juices, bread, noodles etc. Both PARI and GEET don't know how to cook they always depend on fruits and for their food. They rarely go to restaurant when they got fed up of eating fruits every day.

MAAN pointed towards some flour packets and asked them "Do u want to take any of these"

GEET: what are we going to do with these flour packets neither of us know how to use these flour stuff, we don't even know the names of these stuff. For me all of them appear to be the same.

MAAN laughed and he himself selected some flour packets, some other stuff which he needed and placed them in the same basket.

PARI: Do u know how to use all this stuff, i mean u how to cook

MAAN: yes

PARI: oh then today we are going to taste something prepared by MK's hand

MAAN's self thought: when did i say that i am going to prepare food for these 2 girls, its ridiculous!! I have to make it clear that i am not here to cook for them.

GEET: oh really...i am very much excited to taste the food prepared by MAAN, common lets return to our new house

MAAN (self thought): kaha phas gaya mai

MAAN paid the bill for all the groceries. Both GEET and PARI checked the bill and gave their share of the bill to MAAN.

MAAN: what's this? It's ok ... no need to give money for this

GEET: MAAN we are going to stay together for few months. There is nothing wrong in sharing the bill. Keep all ur inhibitions aside. As all long as we are staying together, we are going to share everything we do- work at the office, all the house hold duties and these bills as well. PARI and i consider u also along with us, now we are going to be a perfect team - a perfect team of good friends.

MAAN just smiled and took the money from them, because he knew she has decided and she is not going to change her decision. MAAN remembered what he said in the morning to stop her from leaving the house

"consider this as an apartment and me... just as ur neighbour. I am not going to disturb u in any way".

He thought she wouldn't talk with him for what has happened, as she didn't speak with him for 4 months just for a silly fight. But he is surprised at what she said just now

"we are staying together, we are going to share everything we do"

"now we are going to be a perfect team - a perfect team of good friends"

He is happy that she has accepted him as her friend. He smiled to himself and thought-"then i have to celebrate this by cooking food for them today - They left me with no other option either. MAAN y did u tell them u know how to cook."

They have reached home both Pari and Geet are excited about their dinner today. They kept staring at him how he is going to cook. MAAN felt very uncomfortable the way they are staring at him.

MAAN: u 2 what r u doing? Instead of being idle u can help me right!

GEET: yes MR.MSK the MASTER CHEF, at ur service plz order us what we should do

PARI (laughed at GEET's choice of words): ya i am also ready to obey ur order MR.MK - the MASTER CHEF

MAAN(smiled): ok then PARI u cut those vegetables for the curry that i kept on the table, make sure u cut them into small pieces not big ones. GEET u will assist me and pass the things whatever i need

"yes SIR" said both GEET and PARI as they giggled.

MAAN: GEET pass me the water bottle

GEET: ya... here it is, vaise kya bana rahe ho

MAAN: nothing special ..rotis

GEET: really it has been a long time i ate them

PARI: ya mai toh burgers aur fruits kha kha ke thak gayi hu

MAAN: pass me the salt

GEET: ok ... hmmm...MAAN where did u keep the salt bottle?

MAAN is mixing the flour with water and preparing the dough, he asked her to take the salt bottle because both of his hands are sticky with the dough. MAAN pointed to the cupboard present to his right side "i kept it inside this cupboard". GEET is standing to his left side. She is trying to open the cupboard without moving from her place. She raised her feet stood on her toes to reach the cupboard which is at a greater height. First GEET's hands then her shoulders are touching MAAN when she is trying to reach the top shelf of the cupboard. MAAN felt a shiver in his spine as her breath is fanning his face from beside. She is almost leaning on him. He is losing his control as the gap between them is decreasing. MAAN stepped back when GEET placed her right hand on his shoulder "ya i got it" said Geet taking the bottle.

MAAN(said suddenly): Pari stop cutting the vegetables ...u r making big pieces... GEET u cut the vegetables and Pari will help me

Pari and Geet looked at each other and exchanged their work without saying anything. It took few minutes for MAAN to get his composure back. Pari is also standing at the same place where previously Geet stood. Pari's presence around MAAN didn't affect him. MAAN is surprised by the effect of GEET's proximity on him. Finally dinner is ready GEET and Pari fondly ate the roti's praising MAAN for each and every bite.

Maan's self thought: ek din me mujhe MASTER CHEF banadiya, pata nahi aage kya hoga ...MAAN u r there to take care of these girls but who is going to save u from these girls - one always tries to flirt with u and the other doesn't even bother to look at u. I think i am really going to have a tough time with these girls.

PRECAP : Oh MAN!!!... charming DIVAS at work r quite disturbing!!!
