"Nine hours only" he repeated the words,"Nine hours only,nine hours...'
Annie was irritated,"Stop it Bhai!We already have an alarm clock!"
"Annie,it has been nine hours since i dropped Geet home and m already missing her."
"I told you have fallen in love with her.Congrats!"
"What rubbish! kuch bhi"
"I bet even she is in the same state."
*********
"Maan,please wait! don't go." Geet clasped him in her arms.
"You are going to get married!i have no interest in married women!"
"Maan,i can't live without you!"
"Geet! go away!" He freed himself on her
"No! i won't!"
She caught him by his tie and pulled him closer to her and placed her lips on his...
"GEEET get up!" screamed out Yash.
Geet woke up with a start to meet the enquiring eyes of Yash.
"Kissing the pillow haan? shakal ke saath niyat bhi badal gayi" he laughed out loud
"Veerji please!!from yestarday night i am getting dreams of Maan.You should have ssem him yestarday yaar! my girly hormones were playing bat and ball"
"Excuse me! i am not a girl."
"Yash,i tried a lot to think about Gaurav but just couldn't.I am feeling as if my heart and mind are in war"
"Listen Geet!" his tone was serious,"Mein nahi jaanta kya hai tum dono ke beech mein.I just want to say that he is The Maan Singh Khurana.He must have forgotten you because for him it's a normal thing.His life revolves around business deals and parties and girls.You are no different.So just try to forget about him." he paused, "Gaurav and his parents are coming.i am sure you will take the right decision..."
Geet nodded silently.She was in a dilema.She had waited for months for Gaurav and now that he will be here,her heart was wandering somewhere else.There was a slight pain in her head.
On the other hand,her family was very happy to see her changed features and they were sure Gaurav will not reject her.Finally she will be having a joyful life,they wished and prayed for.
Gaurav and his parents had arrived.As ritual,Geet had to serve them chai nashta.Gaurav was just spellbound seeing her.Soon they were left alone in a room to discuss about their future.
"Arre wah Geet! aapke andaaz toh badle badle se lag rahe hai"
"Lekin tumhe toh dekhkar aisa nahi lagta ki you are surprised seeing me"
"Why should i? i knew that you are very beautiful.you were trying to hide yourself behind those glasses"
Geet said nothing.she just stared at him
"Geet,do you remember?three years ago,in our college,there was a drama competition where you were forcefully made to do a role.You had to were the costumes and dress as the character.It was then that i seen the real you.i was stunned.i thought that why is she hiding herself?I loved you Geet,you didn't realise that... "
"Gaurav I..." she did know what to say.
"I just wanted you to show to the world what are actually are and that's what Maan sir did for you.
"
"Maan?"she was taken aback,"how do you know about it?"
"Because i was there at Anvesha's wedding party.Actually i wanted to talk to Maan Sir about our upcoming HOD meeting.I was just at the entrance when i seen Anvesha herself.She was tensed and told me better not meet Maan sir now.I asked her why.she said it's better for me to slide away from there.I had caught a glimpse of him dancing with a girl and that girl was none other than you."
"You recognised me" she said in a low voice.
"I have always loved the girl behind the mask and she is front of me today.Geet,if you were still in your old form,i seriously couldn't even think of rejecting you as i had seen the real you.i have nothing to do about how you look and stuff"
There was a silence.Geet had really loved Gaurav.But even after hearing those words from him,which she had longed to hear,she still could still feel Maan in every inch of her being.
Gaurav,sensing her tremor finally spoke
"Geet,i was very sad seeing you with him.But i guess you have developed feelings for him..." he sounded hurted.
"N-No..I-"
"Geet,girls go crazy for him.even in our office,girls don't stop amiring him aur tumhe toh unke saath dance karne ka priviledge mila tha...anyways,it's your life.you have the liberty to decide whom you want in life.but i really love you..."
"Gaurav look,from inside i am still a confused person"
"i will be waiting for your answer Geet"
Saying this he went away.She should have said yes to him.She should forget about Maan,she hardly knew him.
Her parents had come to know everything about Maan and that she had not yet accepted Gaurav.
"Geet! what do you think you are doing?tumhe ho kya gaya hai?"
"Papaji mein-"
"pata hai Maan ne teri buhot madat ki hai,but that doesn't mean tu usse shadi racha le!"
"Bas ki jiye.Bachchi hi toh hai" her mother tried to stop him.
"Nahi Rano,enough.hum iske liye daarji ke khilaaf gaye aur ye aaj hamare khilaaf ja rahi hai,she is playing with her life."
Tears were building inside Geet.Her dad continued
"Geet puttar,jis insaan ke liye tu Gaurav ko reject kar rahi hai,do do know anything about him?upar study room mein jaakar dekh kitne ladhkiyon ke saath unka photo chapa hai newspapers mein and you will also be one of them them,used and thrown!"
"Maan is not like that!" she cried and ran up to her room and closed the door behind her.
Yash tried to console his dad
"Dad please...Geet ne Gaurav ko na nahi kaha hai.Do you trust in her?"
"I don't want to see her crying afterwards.i just want her to have the best life partner ever."
Turning towards his mom Yash said,"Ma, you only say na jodis are made in heaven.Maybe maan is not that type of person the media claims he is.". turning to his dad he said,"Pata hai,MSK was supposed to land in Mumbai in his private plane but he didn't get to.There meeting was a co-incidence..."
Yash went and sat next to Geet in her room.
"Yash,i am not at all angry with dad.He cares for me.Gaurav ke jaane ke baad,i m more confused.he was genuine."
"You have to decide..."
"I toh don't even know whether Maan actually likes me or not"
