Part-4

Narration by Geet

I was really pissed off the next morning as the early morning sun rays fell upon my closed eyes. I semi-consciously heard the curtains being put aside to let the irritating yellow light pass in. I fidgeted in my bed to let the intruder know I was getting disturbed but that did not help.

"Kya hai Rajji!!!!Let me sleep!!!" I covered my face with the blanket but my call was ignored.

"Rajji!!! Please leave the damn curtains!!!"

I threw a pillow with my eyes closed but was shocked to see it hitting back at me with the same force! Irritated, I threw all the pillows one by one until I heard a manly voice instead of a female one.

"Stop it!!"

I got up with a start & saw Maan with the pillows tucked under his arm. He looked funny indeed but I was irritated.

"I don't have the habit of getting up so early, let me sleep!!"

"Early to bed, Early to rise---"

"Not one more idiom puh-lease!"

I shut my ears & slipped back to sleep & the next second there was a rain of pillows over me. Clearly, he didn't like being interrupted!

"Jaaiye na yaha se.." I whined again sitting on the bed. He walked roguishly towards me. There was a magazine in his hand & his bore a mischievous smile.

"Thik hai! Chala jata hoon. I had just come to say that panditji hall mein hai hamari shaadi ki date fix karne ke liye! "

My shocked expressions met his smirking face.

"I am here to hand over this magazine to you so that you can select a bridal wear for yourself!"

I shoved him aside, flunged the magazine on the table & raced outside screaming at the top of my voice.

"Mein Maan se shaadi nahi karungi nahi karungi!!! Nahi karungi!!!!!"

All the stunned faces of my parents, Daarji & also the panditji stared up at me

"Yeh kya mazak hai subah subah!!!" Daarji glared at me.

I was scared.

"Geet tujhe ho kya gaya hai??" asked my mom amused , "Who told you we are getting you married?? The Khuranas & we Handas have jointly opened a hotel toh uski inauguration ki date final karne ke liye panditji yaha hai!!"

"Tujhe kisne kaha Maan se teri shaadi hone wali hain? Savitrideviji ghar par hain, sun lengi toh?" added my dad.

I stood dumbstruck. My jaw almost dropped as I stared down the hall at them. I so so wished to find a large hole in this Haveli to dig my most embarrassed face. I heard a chuckle behind me. I turned around to see Annie with Maan by her side.

"Good shot Bhai!!Toh Bhabhiji'" she turned to me,"I mean..Geet, tumhe hamara surprise'oops shock achcha toh laga hoga na?!!" she said taunting me .

They both walked away from there leaving me grumbling.

I went to the kitchen hoping to forget the episode. I put on the gas & was planning to make something when Annie came there,

"Geet!! How do you do?I really hope you enjoyed Bhai's prank to the core!!"

Her sarcastic voice fell on my ears.I chose to ignore it.

"Suno!" she handed me the coffee cup , "Give me another cup as I don't like the design of this cup!!"

"Thik hai, deti hoon.."

I went to the cupboard. Again I heard her speak rudely

"Waise you are not that lucky ki Bhai tumse shaadi kare!!"

"Aisa bhi toh ho sakta hain na that your bhai really likes Geet di!"

Wow! Rajji stormed in my defence.

Annie turned to her, "In your dreams gal!!"

"Not at all! After all three days since you all have come here, your Bhai has mostly interacted with Geet!"

"He was just passing time!! That's it as there is nothing else to do!!" Annie snorted.

"No! I think your Bhai has developed a liking for Geet di!! "

"Rajji please!!! Kya bol rahi hai tu!"

Annie staged a walk out.

~*~

I know that it was entirely my sheepishness but still Maan was not supposed to do like that ! I was very cross with him for fooling around with me!!! He is gonna have it from me for this!!

I marched up to his room & knocked it fiercely. "Come in." I heard his cool voice in return.

I stepped in with a lot of ruefulness but everything was drained after I set eyes on him'He did not turn to me as he might have seen my reflection in the mirror. He had worn formals & my eyes popped out drooling over his dashing looks! .His black vest fitted tightly around his well-built manly proportions which set my beats galloping,,,there must be a limit to which he could look handsome & alluring'He is Maan Singh Khurana! & how could I even think he would marry a girl like me! Wait a minute, I had come here to blast at him but instead I was scolding myself! No! He has to say sorry to me for his deeds!

"Aap ne aisa kyun--"

He fixed his tie & turned around to look at him.He proceeded towards me with a quirky smile. I was frozen on the spot!

"Kuch kehna hai tumhe?"

Our faces were so close!! I tell you!! I clutched my dupatta hard in an attempt to control my breathing.

"A-Aap n-ne a-aisa'.. A-Aap n-ne a-aisa' A-Aap n-ne a-aisa"

He was irritated.He glanced at his wrist watch

"Geet.." Damn his velvety voice!! ," I think you will take a couple of hours to complete your say. Actually I am getting late for a business meeting so'ek kaam karo, jo kuch bhi kehna hai tumhe, write it in a piece of paper & memorize it properly, I will be back in the evening.."

I parted my lips to object but he had already begun to walk out of the room!

Mean!! Mean!!Very Mean!!! That's what I thought as I saw him walking out.

Just then my phone rang. Arrgg!!! It was that Vishal again!!!I hate him!!!!. I eventually picked up the call.

"Vishal!!!"

No sooner I emitted the name, than I saw Maan stop abruptly! He immediately turned around, his eyes were sternly looking at me.Here, Vishal was raining sorries at me as I watched Maan advancing towards me. He snatched away the phone from my hand & said in a gruff voice

"Don't dare to call her again!!!!"

He cut the call as I stared at him shocked. Did he know about Vishal? I wondered. Then he turned his sharp eyes at me. I was nervous. The next moment he pinned me to a wall. I closed my eyes as I felt the heat of his breath on my face.

"Who is this Vishal!!"

"M-My e-ex b-boyfriend' I had told him many times that everything was over between us & but still he irritated me with his apologies'"

I looked at him. I couldn't even breath as he was standing very very near'but after hearing me, he seemed to calm down a bit.

"Don't ever speak to him again warna'"his voice again turned husky, yet there was a warning ringing in, "mujhe buhot jyada bura lagega!"

He whispered. I clutched my dupatta hard. He walked away smirking. What just happened! I didn't know!!but my breathing was still not steady..

End of Narration

"Bhai!! Ek baar dekh toh li jiye!!"

"Annie!! I am getting late for my meeting! I don't have time for nonsense!!"

"Bhai, atleast once meet Simi. She is a model & she really loves you!"

"Not interested!! Now let me go!!"

Annie ran behind Maan, "Oh God!! Aapko ek bhi ladki kyun pasand nahi aati??!!"

"Annie, if mom-dad come to know about all this, then we both are finished! Mujhe koi bhi ladhi kabhi pasand nahi aane wali, so stop this finding-a-girlfriend-for-me business!"

Annie made a sad face. Maan cheered her up

"Okay thik hai Thik hai, if by chance I like any girl, I will ask your approval. Happy?"

"Lekin Simi--"

"Bye little sister!"

He went away waving his hand.
