MG Hamaari Prem Kahaani...#2 - Page 8

"Perfect aaj to aap bahot hot lag rahe hein Mr Khurana!"

"Oh my God! someone is blushing", Ranjit was so happy today. He looked so handsome in his new sherwani. After so many years today he has stepped out of Khurana Mansion and now all dressed up for the wedding of his beloved Maan. His blushing face and shying eyes turned a bit serious as he inquired about Maan and Geet. I informed him that Aparna was with Maan and the girls are helping out Geet.

He lifted up his brow and I assured him."Aparna ke liye bahot khaas din hein, saalon baad unhe aaj apna beta wapas mila hein. I want her fulfill all her dreams. She has waited a lot for this day". He slightly lifted his arm hugging me sideways.

I noticed he was looking at the dresser keenly, I followed his view he had his attention focused on a thaal of flowers and gajras (floral garland to be worn in the hair). I shied but he was firm on his stand. I walked up to the dresser and fixed a gajra in my bun. He smiled. After so many years I had put a gajra in my hair. Ranjit just loved the gajra in my hair.

"No ways yeh main nahi pehenuga."

"Maan".

"Please Mom ladkiyaan pehenti hein yeh necklace ". He cribbed again.

"Maan stop acting difficult, yeh ladies necklace nahi hein. Yeh men ke liye hein. Yeh sherwani ke saath accha lagta hein". I tried to reason out with him to wear the royal pearl neck piece studded with kundan and diamonds.

"No means no!"

"Maan please maine khaas jaipur se isse banwaya hein tumhaari shaadi ke liye. Kya tumhe pasand nahi aaya?" I felt dejected and kept it back in the velvet box. Sensing my disappointment he agreed but solely on one condition.

"Agar kissi ne mera mazaak udaaya toh..." I cut him off midway.

"Aisa ho hi nahi sakta aaj toh tum bilkul raajkumar lag rahe ho". I exclaimed fixing the knot of the neck piece and sealing his look by putting a kala tikka behind his ear.

"Mom please", he looked so embarassed I couldn't help laughing at his expressions.

Just then Yash, Arjun and Aadi entered the room, Yash as usual in fun mood started whistling and before Maan would erupt on me it was the wisest to leave the room. I had to look out on Geet too, hope the girls had got her ready.

"Haaye haaye aaj toh Bro ko koi nahi bacha sakta tumhare husn ke jaadu se". I blushed to a deep red shade of a beetroot. I was sitted by the dresser in my wedding lengha and choli, my make-up and hair was done only draping of my dupatta and wedding chunri along with the jewellery was left.

"Haan Geet Maan kahi tumhe dekh ke behosh hi na ho jaaye, kya roop khila hein shringaar se". Meera too adding on to my plight.

"Kyun meri Geet ko pareshaan kar rahe ho tum log?" Dadimaa snubbed them but before I could heave a sigh of relief she continued, "Kuch tareef inki qatil khoobsurati ki hamaare bachare Maan ke liye bhi chod dijiye". All burst out laughing in unison. I closed my eyes tightly silently praying 'Babaji please bacha lijiye!'

Finally Dadimaa instructed all to hurry up and to go and get ready fast as we had to leave for the temple shortly. Annie tried to argue but Dadimaa firmly added, "Annie samajhiye, Aparna ke bhi kuch armaan unhe poore karne dijiye. Geet ko sajaani ki unki khwaaish poori ho jaayegi." Even Aunty entered giving a what happened kind of look to which Annie immediately requested her.

"Mom actually we need to get ready fast, Geet's make-up and hair is done jewellery and chunri stuff aap kar lijiye. Please Mom". All three ran away leaving confused Aunty, contended Dadimaa and cornered me.

"Aparna aap Geet ko taiyaar kijiye hum abhi aate hein". Dadimaa too left the room.

"Maan yaar mujhse badla lena hein to directly le, aise indirectly meri shaamat ki planning kyun karta hein". Yash complained settling himself on the bed.

Ignoring his nautanki I asked, "Kaam hua?"

"Yash Malhotra koi kaam le aur woh na ho yeh ho hi nahi sakta", he boasted and all of us just stared at him. "Oye hello, ek toh main itna bada risky kaam karke aaya hoon danger zone mein jaa kar, pata hein agar Lady Khurana ke hatthe chad jaata to kunwaara hi shahid ho jaata". He added dramatically.

"Har baar mujhe hi 'bali ka bakra' banate ho tum log".

"Woh issliye bakre I mean Yash aise kaminepanwale kaam tumse accha koi nahi kar sakta hein na". Arjun rubbed in.

"Tu meri tareef kar raha hein ya gaali de raha hein?" Yash inquired.

"Ofcourse tareef yaar, dekh agar Aadi jaata toh darr ke maare sab barbaad kar deta, aur main direct baat karnewalon mein se hoon toh any which ways Maan ka idea flop ho jaata. Samjha kar."

"Samajh gaya main, yeh le Maan teri amaanat, ab aage kya?"

"Isse yahan kahi bhi chupa do aur main abhi aata hoon." I declared leaving the shocked threesome.

"Aap bahot khoobsurat lag rahi Geet, kahin meri hi nazar na lag jaaye", Aunty said once she fixed my dupatta in place and placing a black dot behind my ear. As she started to help me with the jewellery and suddenly noticing tears in my eyes. She was taken aback.

"Tum Rano ko miss kar rahi ho, hein na? Aaj ke din sab se zyaada Maa ki yaad aati hein. Lekin main hoon aap ke paas bete, mere liye aap aur Annie alag nahi. Khurana parivaar mein bahu aur beti mein koi farak nahi hota".

"Tumne dekha na abhi Maa kaise jaan bujh kar mujhe tumhaare paas chod gayi. Kyun ki woh jaanti thi mere dil ki khwaaish". I looked at her aghast, she knew about it.

"Geet, Maa aur mera rishta itne saalon mein itna mazboot ho gaya hein ke, bina kahe hum ek dusre ki mann ki baat samaj lete hein aur main chahti hoon ke hamaara rishta bhi bilkul aisa hi ho".

I smiled at her saying,"Aunty...."

"Maa, aap hume maa aur Rajiv ko Papa kahengi. Samjhi aap". I nodded and she continued dressing me up. It was a very special and truly emotional moment for me. For the first time I was getting to know My Mother.

I was trying to find a way to reach Geet but Mom was present there in her room. Walking up and down in the common terrace connecting all the rooms, I was growing impatient. Suddenly I heard Dad's voice.

"Need help?" He questioned, to which I just nodded a no.

"Maan, Geet se milna chahte ho, hein na". Now there was no point hiding so I agreed.

"Ok but only 10 mins, tumhaari Mom ko main sambhaal loonga".

"Thanks Dad".

"Anytime son, only 10 mins". He strolled away winking at me. And I got in putting my plan in action.

" Geet suna tha ke kuch faisle hamaari taqdeer karti hein aur aaj dekh bhi liya." I looked at Mom confused.

"Kya tum jaanti ho 'Geet' yeh naam tumhe kisne diya?" I nodded a no to which she declared with pride.

"Maan ne!" I was shocked at this revelation.

Mom confirmed," Jab Maan ne tumhe pehli baar dekha toh woh tumhe apne haathon mein lena chahta tha, lekin woh bhi chota tha issiliye humne tumhe uski godh mein rakha tab usne tumhe Geet naam se bulaaya. Usne achaanak se kaha tum 'MAAN KI GEET' ho!"

"Aur aaj woh sach hogaya, tum dono ka milna tey tha aur aaj yeh bandhan janmon janmon ke liye jud jayega!"

She finished. I was ready now. Suddenly my paayals were missing from the jewellery thaal(courtesy Maan- Yash plan), we started looking around but to no success. Papa came looking around for Mom for some work as they left closing the door.

I tried to find the paayals myself when a noise near the glass door of the terrace caught my attention. I started walking towards it, the door closed and I was engulfed in one of the curtain completely. Before I could scream I felt him glued to my back, not directly as we had the curtain between us. He had trapped me in the curtain.

"Sshhh Geet chup chap khadi raho warna tumhara make-up kharab ho jaayega". I immediately ceased my struggle. I could feel him smirking to which I protested.

"Yeh kya mazaak hein Maan? Dadimaa ne hume akele mein..." He did'nt let me complete.

"Geet, Dadimaa ne hume shaadi se pehle ek dusre ka chehra dekhne se mana kiya hein. Toh na main tumhara aur na tum mera chehra dekh sakti ho." I realized the reason for trapping me in the curtain.

This man was an enigma! Everytime I felt I know him, I would witness another facet of his. He would surprise me with something unheard, unthought off. I was falling for this MAAN all over again. Who could believe the ruthless businessman, The Maan Singh Khurana has this naughty and romantic side to him.

His confession broke my thoughts," Geet jab maine tumhe pehli baar dekha tab ek unkaha ehsaas mujhe mahsoos hua. When I heard your name GEET, a sudden thought crossed my mind. 'THE SONG OF MY LIFE' I couldn't name the feeling then but it calmed my restless heart and soul. The feeling was so soothing! But now I know why I felt so bonded with you since our first meet". I knew he had heard Mom.

"Then one day when I had to inaugurate a shop I came across something which just reminded me of you, but never got a chance to give you." I felt him moving away and then he sat down lifting my one leg and resting it on his knee.

"Maan aap..."

"Geet chup chap khadi raho", he demanded as I felt him sliding something cold around my foot. A slight tinkle of the paayal confirmed my doubt. As he finished tying both the paayals on my foot he kissed my feet and stood up. A current passed through me I was under his spell and his next set of words brought me back to reality.

"Geet aaj hum ek naye safar ki shuruaat kar rahe hein aur tum meri zindagi mein pyaar aur khushi ka sangeet leke aayi ho issi liye main chahta hoon ke tum iss paayal ki jhankaar ke sangeet ke saath humaare naye safar ki shuruuaat karo"! He kissed my forehead through the curtain and disappeared.

"Geet", Mom called out to me. I immediately moved out of the curtain and opened the door. She inquired about the paayal I told her that I had found them. She informed me Maan and most of the family had left for the temple and we too had make a move.

I slowly descended down the steps to start a new journey as I walked out of our 'AASHIYAAN' I looked back once again cos now when I will re-enter Our Home. I will be Mrs Geet Maan Singh Khurana. Maan ki Geet!!!!!
