Part 1
Geet walked down the stairs in the Handa household. Everyone looked at her timidly walking down. In Geet's life there were two type of people. One that loved her and thought she was really beautiful and one that envied her, were jealous of her and thought she was not all that. She was a tender age of 16.
Her cousins gathered around her and she congratulated Sumaira for her engagement to someone back in India. "Sumaira ye kya you marrying from back home, you should have got married to Maan".
"No! Geet suits him better..I mean she's fair, slim and she will look right with him". Geet blushed and took the compliment. She looked around and found Maan entering her house. He looked at Sumaira not aware she was already engaged. His brother Adi was all for Maan marrying Sumaira. He was checking Sumaira out and Geet felt upset.
*Kitna pyar kiya hain Maan ko...bachpan se le kar aaj tak aur ye Sumaira ko dekh rahe hain...kya hua hain Maan ko...pehle toh muje chup chup ke dekha karte teh...mera baare main poocha karte teh Sonam aur Nisha se..what has happened? Didn't he love me?"
Geet stood there with her back to him feeling insulted. A little while longer he was chatting to this girl and one could see he was interested in her..Geet just held back her tears...may be he was just being friendly ..nothing more!. Maan was always attracted to Geet but don't know what had happened that he lost interest in her. He never confessed his love but Geet knew he had a soft spot for her.
From the age of 14 he got into so much trouble. He started nicking stuff and then went on to taking drugs and going off the rails. He began dating girls. Any girls white, black, asian any that came his way. Somehow he kept it all hidden. Maybe he was ashamed of being known as a playboy. Geet was unaware of all this.
All day she would dream of him..about loving him..she was still stuck at their childhood status...still in love with him...but was he? She caught a glimpse of him once in a while..through parties or events. One glimpse of him sent her in a tizzy. When she didn't see him she wanted to see him but when he was around she ran away in shyness or maybe her emotion of loving too much.
Maan was a very goodlooking man. Tall and easily attracting attention in a crowd. He smoked in a distinct stylish way. He walked in a certain way. His hair was a certain way. Everything about him caused woman to fall head over heels in love with him. AND he knew that too so he used it to his best advantage.
Maan's father Deena and Savitiri Devi his mother had been cooking up plans for years that Maan should marry Geet but he was so engrossed in his friends and his life of petty crime that they could not approach the Handa's, as Geet was such a gem of a girl. She had a hard life looking after her family that they didn't want to burden her with marrying her to Maan and ruining her life.
Meanwhile Raam wanted a good proposal for his daughter. The first proposal came from a man called Adnan Sami. He was fat and a childhood friend of Maan. Her father was happy about it and urged her to marry him. Geet refused and really took it to heart and lost a lot of weight.
She had really strong emotions about Maan. Her first love. She felt she could not love anyone else..it wouldn't be fair on the guy. What could she do? What could she do? She decided to pick up the phone and ring him at his workplace. First time she rang him and put the phone down. She mustered up the courage and rang him but he had not come to work. He had gone back to his 'street life'.
Adnan's parents came for over a year and would not give up. They knew Geet was something special. For them her saadgi, her being really hardworking, her virginity meant everything to them. There was no girl like her. After a year Raam realised his daughter was in love with someone, as he knew her refusal was for a reason. He asked Nisha and Sonam. "Nisha Sonam I know Geet is too shy to talk to me but why she refusing marrying Adnan".
"Papa firstly look at Adnan I mean he's so fat...Papa look at Geet she looks so tiny compared to him...plus she likes Maan Singh Khurana"..Sonam blabbed to her father.
"Maan? Really? I always wanted her to marry him but you know he's like a bad boy gangster. He's not a bad person but look what he's become. Okay let me talk to his parents..but tell Geet to not hold her breath".
Nisha and Sonam went and told Geet the good news and they all had a hug together. Before Raam would ask Deena Khurana and Savitiri asked for the proposal via phone. Raam gave his go ahead and said to make sure Maan is happy. Deena asked his son Maan but he refused. Deena rang and told him the state of affairs and apologised for Maan's refusal.
Raam came into his daughter's bedroom. She was sitting on her bed looking depressed and numb. She didn't even know what she was thinking. Raam sat next to her and hugged her as he knew Nisha and Sonam had broken the news to her already. "My daughter I tried for your happiness, as I knew you deserve to be happy but that boy is not even interested in you. He told his father that he does not want to marry you. I mean look at him what does he think of himself? What has he got? You are just wasting your time. He will regret it but it will be too late." Geet began to sob on her father's arms. "Papa I don't think I can love anyone". He kissed her forehead. "Beti we should be thankful at least he told the truth. He said find her a decent boy and marry her off".
Those words stung her the most and she felt a dagger in her wounded heart. Raam left Geet in the company of her sisters. "How dare he say that? What's it to him who I marry or not?! What was this all those years..he was playing mind games with me? ". She cried uncontrollably and her sisters comforted her as they knew she truly did love him.
Days passed weeks passed..but Geet still could not get over the sadness...she tried but she could not get him out of her head. She hated him..she was angry with him..but she couldn't just write him off. Sonam saw the state of her sister and rang Adi. She told him all the story from day one. Adi went back to Maan.
Maan was working out at the gym. "Bro I need to talk to you. It's about Geet"
"Not you also" replied Maan irritated.
"Bro she loves you so much and you can't just refuse her like this..I mean at least give it a chance..look at your life full of crap..she could change it..you will have something to look forward to". Maan listened carefully.
"Adi she is a nice girl but look at me..a bad person like me with her...she's so pure and innocent and look at me".
"Bro but maybe its time to change your life for the better..people are asking her hand in marriage from everywhere..I'm just afraid you will regret it badly"
Maan shifted. "Who's asking for her rishta?"
"You know your friend Adnan Sami".
"HIM!" He punched furiously. "Yes bro Adnan..you really broke her heart I mean bro how could you break her heart..she's so sweet.."
"Before you carry on and on...Okay Adi tell her to ring me...give her my mobile number I want to speak to her". He looked at Adi sternly and turned and smirked and went to hit the shower. Adi jumped and punched his hand in the air "YESSS!!!!!".
Maan looked back with an arched eyebrow. "Nothing bro just ..." Maan shook his head and carried on walking. Adi passed the number onto Sonam to give it to Geet.
"Geet..Geettt..you won't believe this..guess who's number I got...the ONE...THE ONLY...MAAN SINGH KHURANA".
Geet was folding the clothes. "So?"
"So? Geet he himself gave it to you...he wants to speak to you".
"Well I don't want to speak to him...I think I hurt myself enough". She tried to pull back her tears.
"Geet I know your hurt but give it a chance...maybe he will explain to you better..and Adi said he is well interested in you".
"Really Sonam thats why he refused? He's changed"
"Geet please for me talk to him pleasseee?"
Geet listened to Sonam and took the number and looked at it. Her mind said to not ring him and her heart said ring him. She sat there thinking what should she do.
Precap; Geet talks to Maan after 5 years!!!!😲
