Part-31
"Something is wrong!"
Geet was sure of that.For the first time ever,in the breakfast table where the food was kept just centimetres away from her,she still invested her interest in the man sitting opposite her.Probably love does bring about changes, especially when the man was none other than MSK himself!. Geet could eye on him to her heart's desire as he looked engrossed in some serious thoughts not looking at her directly.She dared not break his trance,fearing he might be angry.So it was much safer to just watch his movements or expressions,if any.But something was indeed wrong.
Finally the breakfast was done with both the parties having delayed it for their own seperate reasons.The waiter walked in languidly slipping the bill on the table.Maan forwarded his credit card for payment but the waiter looked pensive enough to accept it.
"S-Sorry Sir but our credit card system is not working t-today.We are accepting payments in c-cash..." The waiter completed his say not sure of what reaction he would be receiving from the other end.
"What!!!But why weren't we told before??" asked Maan,with aspirity.He couldn't believe such a situation would grace him & that too when he had come on a first official breakfast-date with his love.
"T-There was a big board at the e-entrance regarding this" the waiter's face as as white as his shirt.
So yes,it was indeed very difficult to oppose Maan Singh Khurana.No one would even dare to be in a position so as to contradict him in any matter & here was the waiter standing not knowing why he was facing this situation.
"But I did not see any board!!!!".
The waiter was spared to answer that.Geet nudged Maan,whispering to him,"It's because you had my eyes only on me!!"
Maan glared at her. She thought it best to stay quiet,she didn't know how she had managed to say that to him.
"Call the manager, I said!!!!!"
The waiter rushed outside as fast as his legs could carry him. Maan then turned to Geet,it was her turn now
"Geet! Why didn't you tell me this before if you knew it??" asked a sceptical Maan as if he had signed a loss deal.
"S-Sir...I m-mean Maan,now what can be done ?I think we need to wash utensils because you don't have cash now,,,only a chequebook..which is again not accepted..."
"Wash utensils????????????Are you out of your mind????" Maan was stunned.
"But don't worry,I will atleast arrange the utensils after you finish washing them!!"
"What the hell are you speaking??Are you even in your senses?"Maan believed whatever was said to him, "And what about your promise of helping me in every phase!!"
"When did I tell I will help you in such problems??" Geet rolled her eyes.
Just then the manager walked in.
Maan asked impatiently, "I hear that your credit card system is not working???"
The manager seemed clueless about what was asked to him,"Not working??But--"
He was interrupted by Geet,"Ahh...Maan I..I am waiting for you outside in the car..Okay..Byee.. "
She hurried her steps to move out.
Maan was shocked, "Geet!Wait!"
The manager continued,"Sir,we really do accept credit cards.A-Actually we were instructed by Ms Geet t-to stage this drama!" The manager dared not to smile,he said in a serious tone.
Geet was still in the room near the door.She heard everything.Maan was shocked to his wits end when he heard the manager.Geet turned around & glanced at Maan.He stared at her balefully.So now there was no stopping for Geet.She quickly ran outside followed by Maan.
"Geet!Wait! I can't believe you tricked me!!!"
Geet ran ahead laughing.Maan was after her,trying to catch her. They were in the lush green garden which was at the back of the restaurant.
"I will not leave you for this Geet!!!!!Ruko tum." still running after her around the trees & bushes.
"Okay Fine!!I am sorryyy!!" Geet did not stop.She was still laughing, "Lekin I had a lot of fun.Kudos to my acting. Ha Ha!!"
Maan was getting all more irritated,"Acting??Now I will tell you what's action!!!!!Stop right away!!!"
Maan finally matched pace with Geet & caught her.They both fell in the green grass with Maan on top of her.Both were breathing heavily,tired of running.Maan glared at her.But she was lost in his eyes. He inched his lips much closer to hers & said
"Now your punishment!"
Geet was scared.She closed her eyes, "I told you na,I am sorry!!!Ab bachche ki jaan loge kya!!!"
she said in a childish voice.
Maan couldn't help but laugh. He left her & lay close to her looking up at the sky.They both sat on the grass.
"Phew! you are not angry with me!"
"It was so foolish of me!I should have know!!" he was still laughing.
Geet was relieved seeing him laugh whole-heartedly.Finally she succeeded in making him feel light.She was happy.
"Waise,I didn't know you could be fooled so easily.Next time will be making bigger plans." she teased him
"Excuse me?It won't happen again!Dekh lenge!" he smirked.
He inched closer to her & whispered,"Geet,tumse pyaar karta hoon.Whatever you do,mujhe sab manzoor hai!"
Their eyes locked...
They were in the parking area when Maan realized that the car didn't have petrol.He was a little bit startled
"But I thought that there is enough petrol!"
Geet yawned inside the car, "What happened Maan?I need to go home & sleep!Come fast!"
"Aree yaar, we need to go to the petrol pump!"
"Oh Gosh! Thik hai!" Geet responded sleepily.
They reached the near-by petrol pump.The car was getting filled.Just then Maan noticed a man eyeing keenly on Geet & him from a distance leaning against a wall chewing a paan!.Maan did not like it at all.Just when they were about to leave from there after filling in the petrol,the incharge of the pump walked upto Maan,shaking hands with him.
"Congratulations Sir!You are our lucky winner!"
Maan & Geet both were surprised. "Lucky winner?" asked Geet.
"Yes Mam" replied the manager, "Actually we were having a contest over here and you are our 10th customer this morning,so there is a two-night vacation package for you as a couple!!!"
Geet's eyes lit up in excitement, "Wow! I have never ever been so lucky" she said nudging Maan, "Maan let's go.It will be fun."
But Maan was not enthusiastic ,"Geet I think you will be having your exams & anyways we can plan a grand honeymoon later on!"
Geet blushed hearing that but still she was adamant, "My syllabus is over & I can do the revision later on!! Please Please Please!"
Maan knew he just couldn't win with Geet.So there was no point in debating.He turned to the manager, "Okay,but to which place is this package?"
"Anywhere in South India!"
Those words rang a bell in Maan's ears.
Geet was thrilled,"Wow! there are so many places to visit in south Kerela,Karnataka,Ooty--"
She was interrupted by Maan "Pondicherry!We will go to...Pondicherry!"
Geet stared at Maan,surprised, "Pondicherry?I thought...we will take a while to decide!"
"It's decided Geet!We will be heading there.It's a very beautiful place!" he smirked looking at Geet.
Geet was shy. Maan was relieved that she did not doubt her.It was risky taking her there since his sole purpose was to encounter Dev but more risky was to lie to her & go there alone. He knew he would have to be very careful.He was taken aback thinking that he could actually win a lottery like that!!
Just when Maan was driving the car outside the pump.The man with the paan bent to the window of the car,placing his hands on the window lining.
"Today was the last day of the lottery.Waise even I won the same package yestarday morning & see the co-incidence even I am planning the same place as you are!" he said with a paan in his mouth & eyeing at Geet
Maan did not pay any heed.He did not even look at him & drove away.
The man called after them, "Arre bhaiyya listen!Kya kare these rich men!He did not even hear my name which is Gopal"...
The schedule for the next day was planned.Maan & Geet would be taking a flight to Chennai & would then reach Pondicherry by road...
