"You have to trust in something,your gut feeling,impulse..."
Geet recalled Maan's words as she was alone in her room.The table near the window had photos of Maan and Gaurav kept on it.Geet had never ever thought that her life will be turned upside down in just 48 hours.Just before two days, no one even bothered to look at her, and now there she has two men to make her life dramatic.Before seeing Gaurav,she almost knew that she is gonna reject him but after what he had said to her made her feel,that somewhere she still liked him.
"Hei babaji" she sat near the window and gazed up at the sky,"aapko mein hi mile thi love-triangle formula try karne ke liye?mana ki mein writer hoon and need to have experiance par yeh toh kuch jyada hi ho gaya na?i don't know what to do.aap hi kuch bataiye!"
She was sad.She was irritated with herself about not being able to come to the point.She wondered how come Maan tolerated her and Gaurav loved a jhalli girl like her.
Suddenly the breeze began to blow strongly.Her dupatta was almost on the floor.One of the photos from the table flew and rested on her lap while the other one was lying on the floor at her dupatta's end both inverted.She turned the photo which had fallen on her lap and was shocked and surprised.Till then the other photo,lying on the floor was almost being carried out of her room by the strong winds.She ran like a small child after that pic and finally caught and brought it closer to her.All this had happened in just a fraction of a second.The winds stopped.Silence prevailed again..She held both the photos before her.There was a smile of confidence on her face.Atlast her heart had chosen the right person...
Next morning--
"So it is me,right?" asked Gaurav.
"Yeah..." Geet answered.
"So...what next?"
"need to secure your job now" she smiled
"Why?what happened to my job?"
"Unknowingly i had blurted out what you had said about him.So--"
"What!! OMG" he was terrified,"Geet do something,otherwise i am dead!" he sounded sick at the thought of bearing the brunt of Maan's anger.
"Chillax.Why do you all get so scared of him?he is such a cool hunk"
"Haan Haan,ek baar office aakar toh dekho!"

"Chalo Annie,Arjun it's time for me to go back to Mumbai" said Maan. The previous day was very tough for him.He refrained from speaking to anyone.He had cancelled three of his meetings,He finally concluded that he loves Geet and cannot even think of anyone except her.But it was too late now...
"Mr Khurana" said Arjun,"I think you should go to her place and get things right"
"No,i don't think so" replied Maan,"She loved that lad,i am no one to interfere.I will be fine.Don't worry."
It was no use of convincing himself because he knew everything will be different henceforth.He wanted to go to her place,grab her and take her away with him but it was not one of his business dealings...
The car was waiting outside but the driver was nowhere to be seen.
"Where the heck is the driver!"
He decided to wait inside the car.To his utter amazement,his eyes fell on the already seated person in the car.
"GEET???" he was staring with his eyes wide open,"T-tum yaha? Kaise?"
"Oh god! i had actually answer hordes of question to those gaurds of yours.Why are you a VIP Mr Maan!"
"Geet,what happened.Did Gaurav--"
"Before you jump to conclusions let me clear it that i have rejected him not he"
"But why?"
"Because i toh love you!" she said half blushing half smiling.
Maan was stunned.Did she really say that?That means she is his?His joy knew no bounds.It was probably a dream.He thought of pinching himself but then it would be foolish.He touched her,she was there.His life had now become meaningful.
"O...kay so in that case you are supposed to bhi punished" He said naughtily as he came closer to her.
But Geet somehow controlled her urges and said,"Itni jaldi bhi kya hai?First of all you have to come to my house and talk to my parents"
"Really?"
"Yup.i need to go now.have to do packing.i will be waiting for you.Byeee"
Handa Residence--
"So,you have decided that you are going back to Mumbai?" asked her dad
"Yes Papaji.I don't want to marry now.I want to be a writer,see the world do everything which i have missed and--"
"and what bete?"asked her mother
"and to know Maan..."
"Do you think he will come and take you with him.Forget it!" said her dad
"I really love him.I want to know him more as a person.At the same time, I don't want to go against you. agar aap mera haath unke haaton mein denge phir hi mein unke saath jaaungi," saying that she went into her room.
"Razi ho jaaiye na ji " Rano tried to convince her husband,"Yeh toh aap ki laadli hai na.Without telling us she will not take a single decision..."
Geet's room--
"Wow man!" exclaimed Yash,"Tumne decide kaise kiya?i mean seeing you yestarday i thought you will becum a sanyasini " he laughed
"Shut up veerji!Yestarday Maan's tasveer was being carried away by the wind.I couldn't bear that.Gaurav ka photo mere haath mein tha.I didn't care for it as my heart and mind longed for Maan.I really don't care who he is,a business tycoon or a flirt,for me he is only Maan,my Maan"
"And Gaurav?"
"He understood it.He was happy to part ways."
"Chalo lets see whether MSK comes or not..."
Maan had come.Geet's parents were really not expecting him.Her dad understood that Maan really loved his daughter,he would take great care of her,she was in safe hands.The words Maan had said depicted his feelings for Geet.
He placed Geet's hands onto Maan's and said to Geet, "Ja puttar,aapni zindagi ji le!"
Maan and Geet both were happy.While they were in the car...
"Geet, i forgot to say something"
"What?"
"that i love you" he said while holding her closer.
Geet planted a kiss on his cheeks and they both enclosed in a hug.
