It was night time.Maan had settled in his room.It was good to be back at your childhood place,relieving all those memories again,thought Maan.He had just taken a quick bath and was drying himself.He stood near the window gazing at the moon.Interestingly Geet was also standing at her window.Since both of their rooms were opposite of each other,they stood facing each other.
Geet's jaw almost dropped.Maan was shirtless.His body exuded perfection to the core with his well toned arms and biceps.Her legs were fast enough to retrace her back to her room. "As expected!" thought Maan.
Maan looked down at the lanes which encircled the house.He remembered how they used to run ready to take each other's life...

A wedding celebration was in full swing.Geet along with her 2-3 friends were chatting,having fun.Suddenly a boy comes upto them & pulls Geet to face towards him.
"What the heck do you think you are doing?" asked Geet angrily who was taken aback by the sudden pull.
"I just want to say that I am bigger than you" he said sounding confident and clear.
"What?i did not get you!" said Geet shrugging her shoulders.
"My name is Maan Singh Khurana & i am elder to you!"
"Ha! naam bada hone se koi bada nahi ho jata! Slide away baby boy!" Geet said mockingly .
"Shut up!"said Maan fiercely.He grabbed her by her arm tightly that she winced in pain,"My mom told me that you are smaller that me so accept it & respect me!"
Geet freed herself."I am bigger than you! ask anyone in the house!your mother lied to you to console you! HA! HA!"
They were almost ready for fists and blows when one of Geet's friends whispered to her,"Let go yaar!Forget him!"
Geet left in a huff.Maan smirked at his victory.
For several days Maan and Geet used to argue on the same topic.Geet's uncles used to tell her that being smaller is nice,she could tease Maan but Geet never listened.She was determined to prove herself.The mere sight of Maan used to irritate her.Maan on the other hand used to find ways and means to prove Geet inferior.
Their fights provided entertainment to on-lookers.They looked very cute.One elderly man even when to say that they would be perfect for each other.Their life would never be boring as each would keep the other on toes!
One day tired of fighting,they decided to go to Beeji,who loved both of them dearly.
"Beeji tell her quickly that i am bigger that her" said Maan.
"Beeji,tell him that he is ofcourse a big fool!" said Geet.They glared at each other.
"Calm down bachchas!you two are of same age.understand?So behave like civilised kids!"
Both were disappointed.
"Khaali phokat tujhpar time waste kiya!Useless!"said Maan.
"tu toh maha budhdhu hai hi" Geet put her tongue out & teased him.Maan was ready to pounce on her but she ran away mocking him.
The maid in Geet's house asked Beeji who was elder.To which Beeji replied,"Maan is bigger by two years!"she laughed,"i did not say warna aur drama karte!"

Mrs Gurpreet Khurana along with her son Maan was doing some vegetable shopping at the market place.Just then Geet ran upto her and greeted her while completely ignoring Maan.
"hello beta.how are you?"asked Mrs Khurana cheerfully
"I am fine aur yeh Maan aapko jyada tang toh nahi karta na!" She cast her rueful glance at Maan.He least cared about it.
"Waise Geet,kya aap badi ho kar Maan se shaadi karengi?"
Geet did not know what to say.She was quick to disappear from there.
"Zara dekho toh kaise kamar matak matak kar chalti hai!"thought Mrs Khurana smiling.

That day Geet was totally surprised that she had to literally pinch herself. Maan was behaving such pleasantly with Geet like he was the best kid to ever walk on earth.He talked so nicely and even gave her flowers.Geet was happy that he finally accepted his defeat.
The Khuranas & the Handas were supposed to have lunch together that day.They were all seated at the table waiting for Maan and Geet to show up.
Maan and Geet appeared.Maan held her hand and helped her to walk down the slippery stairs.Everyone was dumbfounded seeing this sight.
"Wait Geet,i will pull the chair for you to sit!"
"Thank you Maan for such a kind little gesture"Geet said sweetly
He pulled the chair.As Geet was about to sit,instead of pushing the chair forward,he pushed it backward which resulted in Geet landing on the floor with a thud.And Maan was standing there with a wicked smile
"Idiot!why did you do that!" snapped Geet while making an effort to get up.
"HA!HA! April Fool!!! it was so difficult for me to behave friendly with you but i guess it paid off."Maan said while laughing ou loud.His parents were really angry with him.
Geet was very angry."You know i had got six tickets for you and your friends to go and watch a cricket match live but now you are not going to get it!"
Geet knew Maan was an ardent cricket fan.She just wanted to see the expression on his face.Indeed his face changed.
"Geet...please mujhe de do na...dekho i am sorry...I--"
"Forget it!i will never ever give you!i will go instead of you!Bada aaya April Fool banane!"She went away smirking.
Maan stood there helpless.The tables had turned on him.
