Part 7
Now, Miss Geet Handa you will be the one touching me. Just wait and see. Maan pledged himself.
Part 8
"Maasi, I want to arrange a party at Khurana Mansion and invite all the youngsters for it. Would you mind if I take them to my place." Maan knew how Rajinder kaur, Geet's taiji could never say no to him especially from the time he had become successful in his own right and come to stay at Khurana Mansion. He understood taiji's mentality of being partial to boys as many of the Indian women were and most importantly if the boy was successful and moneyed. He had become taiji's blue eyed boy more so after he came back to Hoshiarpur and had started looking after Dadima and Khurana estate.
"Par beta, shaadi to pehle hi tumhare ghar ho rahi hai fir is party ki kya jaroorat hai?" taiji asked him.
"Maasiji, shaadi ke time to sab rasmoriwaz ke saath hoga and marriage is a serious event, at that time the youngsters would disturb everyone if they party so I was thinking of keeping the party before hand as there are still some days left for marriage." Maan tried to make Maasiji agree.
"Ok Maan as you wish, but my only condition is you will have to be responsible person and look after the kids at the party."
"I promise Maasiji, there will be no problems," Maan agreed with her, and as an after thought, "Maasiji, all will be sleeping at the Haveli itself for the remaining night as I do not want them to disturb everyone at the Handa Haveli, I hope you don't mind."
Taiji nodded her head in acceptance.
The party was arranged and invitees were sent and everything was done exactly how Maan had wanted. He had called some more friends with whom he had lost contacts and found this an ideal opportunity to renew their friendship.
Rajiv was the first one to come down for the party, Maan who was waiting near the steps in the lobby got a chance to tease him
"Kyun Bhai, badi jaldi hai apni honewali dulhan se miilne ki.
"Nahi, nahi aisee koi baat nahi hai" Rajiv replied a bit shyly.
"Look here she is"
And they both glanced at the door.
Pari, Meera, Naintara, Anvesha and Yash were all coming in together.
Rajiv moved towards the door to meet and welcome them.
Slowly other too started coming.
Maan stood there with a smile on his face but his gaze kept on going towards the door.
Yash caught Maan gazing at the door and nudged others to attract their attention to this point.
Now it was the time for other to have their fun at the expense of Maan otherwise Maan was always the one to pull others legs first.
Meera went to him and asked him for whom was he waiting.
At first Maan denied he was waiting for someone.
Meanwhile Geet and Vicky too joined them. They were surprised that the group was at the door still and had not gone in.
"Maan is waiting for someone and I think it must be someone special who has made The Maan Singh Khurana, wait for her" Anvesha replied.
Maan just nodded his head, "no friends it's not like that at all. She is special because she is a very good friend of mine."
Everyone was shocked when they realized the person Maan was talking about.
She entered like a majestic Queen. She looked like princess with an attitude to match, it was none other than India's most famous and at present presiding on the No. One position in the lists of actresses, voted the sexiest woman in Asia, Aishwarya.
And with Aishwarya was her entourage consisting of Shashi and Rashi.
Maan greeted Aishwarya and invited her in.
They all moved towards the hall and when they entered the hall everyone was impressed by the dcor. The grand hall had been decorated in such a way that it resembled a nightclub and the music being played by the DJ was giving a proper disco feel to it.
"Let's dance Aishwarya," Maan took hold of Aishwarya's hand pulled her towards the dance floor, and urging others too to take the dance floor, "Come on friends, let the party begin."
As the party progressed he kept changing partners dancing with many of them except Geet.
When he danced with Aishwarya twice Geet couldn't help herself. She had been covertly watching him dancing and flirting with every available female and she had felt her heart squeeze. All these years she had believed that maybe in some corner of his heart Maan too would had felt what she felt for him. That maybe even after so long, he would not have forgotten her. Her heart could never think anything appalling about him even after reading atrocious things in the media. Her heart had refused to believe what her eyes saw and her mind refused to process the scandalous reports that flew around in their line of work. She knew every successful, prosperous and single man would have to bear the advances of females who were ever ready to enhance their positions in the society by associating themselves with the winners but somewhere some corner of her mind could not accept that Maan would do something like this and that too in front of her.
She had never thought she would feel jealous of anyone and had this notion in her head that she had fallen out of love, her feeling not running so entrenched that she could not see him with someone else but when she saw him dance with so many women she realize how superficial her notions were. Coming back to Hoshiarpur had reiterated her love for him. She would have to do something before he could discover the truth and derive advantage of it out like that long ago summer.
Seeing him dance with Sameera was the last straw. She could not tolerate it any longer. It was now or never. She marched towards him tugged him away from that Sameera even before they could realize what was happening.
Pulling him closer to herself she took hold of his hand and placed them on her waist clearly indicating that she too wanted to dance with him
Looking into his eyes she placed a hand on his shoulder as he led her for a twirl.
"Hmm' Geet what happened?"
Geet just shook her head.
"Why, are you feeling jealous?"
Geet just gave him a murderous stare which was enough to shut him up.
As they danced on the slow number Maan had a naughty smile on his lips.
Bringing her closer, he slowly whispered in her, "Strike One, Geet"
Precap: Strike two.
