At the Party-
The media graced them with questions but Maan was in no mood to attend to their queries,so he shoved them aside.
"Come on Maan.let's dance."
"hello!i am you boss!"
"toh kya hua?bosses don't dance or what!"
"i thought you don't like to dance."
"But i want to now.if you don't want to come,i will go myself."
She went to the dance floor.Maan stood staring at her.Soon she was joined by a young man.they both started dancing and enjoying themselves.Maan was not liking it He was soon surrounded by girls urging him to have a dance with them.He reluctantly agreed.He wanted Geet to notice him which surely she did.
"Mere saath dance karne mein mana kar diya!now he is flirting with them!i will not leave him for this."
she said angrily and grabbed a glass of drink which she thought was coke.
Maan realized the damage done.he focefully ruhed towards her.
"Geet,what did you do!it's such a strong drink!"
"yummy.it's really nice!made me feel better"
"Are you out of your mind??.ab isse pehle kuch aur ho jaye.let's leave frm here"
"No! i don't want to the party has just begun"
"chup! bilkul chup!" he grabbed her by her arm,"You are not well! you need to go home and that's an order!"he glared at her.
But Geet was in no mood to listen.
"not until i have a dance with you.mujhe na karne ka anjaam aap ko bhugatna hi padhega!"saying this,she pulled him to the dance floor.Maan was helpless.he could have easily forced her inside the car,after all he was more stronger than her.But he didn't understand why he let go. For the time being,he was being woman-handled.
"chalo Geet,you will fall sick.go home and rest."
Before she could rebel he grabbed her and was moving towards the exit.but then again they were caught hold by the media.one of them asked
"please sir please tell us is there someone special in your life?"
his mind was full of Geet.he couldn't think of anything else.he bluntly said a 'yes' but was soon to correct it but media people had got their byte.
Inside the Car-
"Oh my God sir! what have you done?media walon ko bol diya girlfriend hai! haii la!!"
"it's all because of you"
"hehehe...ab uska credit toh mujhe lena hi padhega.but now,what will you do Sirji??"
"No idea!"
"Get idea 3G...hehehehehehe."
"will you please Shut up!i am driving.Keep quiet until you reach home."
"Ok ok.Finger on my lips...Finger on my lips"
After a few seconds...
"Maan...i mean Sir...i have a disease..."
"What disease??"
"i can't keep quiet for a long time...hehehehehe"
"oh God! not again! Hei babaji..."
"Hey, yeh mera dialogue hai.iska copyright sirf mere paas hai.understand??"
"haan haan...bas isiki kami thi! i am almost becoming like you"
"Toh achcha hai na...we won't get into fights because of you!"
"ENOUGH Geet!behave yourself!" he said in such a high voice which startled Geet.
"Booo...Hooo...Hooo" she started crying
"Geet stop it please!"
"Say sorry to me first!"
"Why should i say sorry?"
She cried even louder.Maan tried to make her quiet but it was of no use.
"okay...okay...fine! i am really really really really sorry."
"yipppeee.i finally made the great Maan Singh Khurana say sorry to me.that too many sorries."
"Haan Haan...thik hai...thik hai."
Suddenly the car stopped.
"Now what happened to this car??need to go out and check"
"I guess your car is very dedicated to you.tabhi toh aapke itne saare sorries sunse bechara rukh gaya. "
"Oh God! ab isse bura aur kya ho sakta hai!"
"What happened Maan sir??" said she coming out of the car
"There is something wrong in the engine of the car...ab itni raat ko sunsaan sadak no one is there to give us lift."
"WHAT????" she started to cry again.
"okay...okay... i am sorry Geet."
"Now why are you saying sorry?jisko sorry bolna hai,woh toh statue banke kada hai"
"thik hai...thik hai...my car is really sorry...khush?"
"Better"
"Geet,go inside the car.there is no network over here.we need to spend a few hours sitting in."
"don't dare!i know you are planning to kidnap me.Look! i know karate,sumo,everything.So BEAWARE!"
"None can think of kidnaping you.tumaha bas chalein toh you will kidnap me!.i know tai-chi,so be aware!"
"hehehehehe...should i take it as a compliment or..."
"Anything you wish."
They went inside the car.
"Waise Geet,tell me why did you drink that?"
"Because...Because..."
"Yes...??" he asked eagerly.
"Because...I hate you,,,,,I hate you"
"WHAT??"
"Aap ko pata hai daru pine se liver karab hai!"
He looked at her in disbelief."What nonsense!...aur waise bhi ek baar pine se kuch nahi hota"
"Ek baar pine se??now every other day you will take me to a party,u will dance with those skinny girls so to calm myself ,mujhe toh do char lagani padhegi na"
"are...are you serious??" he didn't know how to react.
"Nope.i am talli...hehehehehehe"
After a little more bit of blabbering Geet finally dozed off to sleep.Maan heaved a sigh of relief.He was amazed,surprised that was this the same girl who he met in college?was this the same girl who had scaled a great height in such short span of time?was this the girl who was serious but yet fun loving in her work?He never had such a day ever with a girl before.
She looked very cute while sleeping.Not a single soul.would believe that this girl would drive anyone crazy by her talks.Maan himself felt that he was not angry with her.But still next time they will come for a pary,he will see to it,that she stays miles away from drinks. NEXT time??.after such a roller-coaster evening, does he still want her to accompany him??what's happened to him?
Suddenly Geet clinged to Maan and rested her head on his shoulder,she was in deep sleep indeed.Maan caressed her and said to himself,"Geet,i enjoy youe company...Thanks a lot for today."
it wasn't her beauty.she was pretty in a rather unusual way.It was just that,almost from the first.he had recognised somewhere that she was his girl...
In the wee hours of morning,Maan somehow managed to arrange a car to take them back to the city.Geet was still fast a sleep.I'd better leave her in Meera's house,not her own,he thought.
At Meera's place-
Meera ceased to think what surprise awaited her early in the morning.It was only until she opened the door that she stood awestruck.She could only exclaim a 'WOW!'.she saw Geet fast a sleep and Maan was carrying her in his arms and standing right on her doorstep.
"You can't stand in the mat all day like this! Come inside!" that was all she could say.
After Maan had placed Geet safely in Meera's room,it was time for him to face yet another girl.
"Maan,it's almost 12 hours since you two are out.I was thinking to lodge a missing complaint!"
"Meera,it's a long story"
"I am listening"
Maan narrated to her everything about what happened in the party,how they got caught in the middle of the night and how finally they were here.
"Incredible! i mean...maanna padhega Geet was the real boss yestarday.i should have been there seeing you helpless in front of her."she wanted to laugh out loud was it was not a wise idea after all.
"Meera,for the time being just nurse her.she gulped a huge dose yestarday.i am going to office."
"Don't worry.she is a strong girl.she will be fine.Anyways,why don't you too go home and take rest.i am sure you didn't sleep the entire night."
"No Meera,i am fine..."
Saying this he left...
