~Episode 12~
Scene 1:
He fumed and Geet looked blank ... actually was hiding her concern.
😳MAHI MAHI😳
They were lost in each other's eyes ... in each other's touch...
He raised his hand instinctively to tuck the stray hair flying on her face ... their eyes still glued to each other.
...
A few seconds later Maan's mind came to register what just happened and what he was thinking of doing OMG, he mentally smacked himself ... And what kind of a state they were in?? What the he** was he searching in her eyes??? Yaar need to see a doctor ... this festival preparation is really taking a toll on my mind. (PJ: Mind nahi bachooo ... heart ... dil ... hrudaya ... and you need a dil ka doctor ... and who better than MUAH ... he he he
). He made a mental note to himself about the doctor ... blinking and looking away from her.
(PJ: Oopps ... dil yani the blood pumping organ in our body ... and blood se yaad aaya ... our Maanu's nose is bleeding ... Geet! Stupid girl! ... What have you done??? Maan is so correct ... you are a chalta phirta disaster ... especially around ... you-know-who???)
Poor Geet was still lost forgetting that she was still holding on to his nose.
"Mmmph ... Mmmph ... Mmphh..." came Maan's muffled voice, trying to remove her hand from the hanky almost stifling his breath. But Geet like an idiot pressed the hanky more so, taking Maan to the edge of his patience and also oxygen level. Enough was enough ... he couldn't take her stupidity anymore and pulled her hand forcefully off his nose, and twisted it behind her back, without intention pulling her to him (PJ: DANGER ALERT!!!! But not for us ... it is time for MAHI MAHI😳.) He bent and spoke almost into her ear ... his breath caressing her senses😳.
😳MAHI MAHI😳
The proximity for a second felt comforting ... For that one second their worlds came to a standstill. It felt so familiar ... like their senses merged for that fraction of second. But then reality struck ... and Maan tightened his grip over her wrist ... making her jump like a child throwing tantrums.
"I won't leave you today ... bahut ho gaya ... jab se aayi ho tab se mera dimag kharab karne ka koi chance nahi chodti ho...😡" fumed Maan pulling her more into him in anger.
Geet blinked foolishly as if she was taken off guard ... She was trying to help (PJ: actually trying to hide her mistake ... he he he ... poor Maan got his nose broken ... thanks to "HIS" Ooops! "MISS" Geet) and this is what she gets ... why was she even doing it??? (PJ: Geet and helping a GUY?? A big NO!!! And guy here especially refers to the male species other than those few close to her.)
"Aur yeh...yeh...yeh ball???" he lifted his left hand holding the ball (the right hand still twisting Geet's hand), "Yeh tumne jaan boojh kar kiya hai na ... Tum kya PAGAL ho???😡 Ya mujhe P-A-G-A-L karne ke liye aayi ho? Huh??? What's your problem???" Maan asked really annoyed at her. She always drops out in front of him from nowhere and their meetings have never been pleasant ... very disastrous and precarious, especially for Maan. (PJ wonders their first meeting was so dreamy and romantic ... hmmm ... poor guys bahut jaldi bhool gaye ... koi baat nahi ... bahut jaldi yaad aa jayega ... Hopefully!! Main Hoon Naa!!)
It's only now that Geet heard the words from his moving lips clearly ... and the word 'pagal' bombed her brain. She fumed like a dragon breathing fire. She didn't listen to anything else, jerked her hand free from his hold and yelled, "PAGAL!!!😡 Tumne mujhe PAGAL kaha ... How dare you?? You ... you ... AKDOO ... SADOOO ... IDIOT ... Ek toh I tried to help you ... and you??? You??? Tum phir se style mar rahe ho???😡" she was almost leaning over him trying to reach his height ... which was making Maan again uncomfortable ... and he wacked himself like a million times more to focus rather than drowning in that enchanting scent of hers ... He jerked the thoughts and looked into her eyes, her little nose was now like a red tomato, and she poked her index finger into his chest again and again. She was speaking ... no no ... yelling ... and he was deaf to her words ... all he could think of was her CURLS ... her LIPS ... SHUT UP!!!! His mind screamed trying to slow down his uncontrollable heart ... He breathed and that is when he regained his hearing senses ... She was still poking him...
"... blah ... blah ... blah ... Haan maine hi tumhari naak phodi hai ... aur ... aur ... aur ... zyaada bola na toh mooh bhi phod doongi...😡" she finished almost spitting ... and her eyes were red ... her little nose flaring ... her breath out of control.
Maan just gaped like he was watching some mental attack ... shook his head, a waste of time and energy to argue with a nutcase. He took a deep breath, and walked away. Got better things to do. "First you break my nose and then try to help ... how crazy is that? And she thinks I'm gonna believe her ... Puh-leez!" he murmured to himself.
Geet continued shouting and blaming ... oblivious of his already walking away. She realised she is talking to a ghost. Bas phir kya tha ... Madam ka paara aur chad gaya ... mercury shooting above boiling point!!
"Oh Hello ... You can't walk up on me!!"
He inhaled to keep his temper calm and cool ... turned ... and responded...
"Kyun??? Why should I even listen to you? Main kya tumhara ghulam hoon aur tum kya meri Queen ho??" (PJ saying Of course silly she is the Queen of your heart ... tumhare Dil ki Rani ... Pehle bhi, abhi bhi aur humesha rahegi. Maan's comment was totally unintentional, but all Maaneetians know by heart YEH SACH HAI YOUR HONOUR.)
Geet glared flaring her little nose ... for the first time she didn't know what to say ... except for "A-K-D-O-O!!!", and she walked away snatching the ball from his hand.
Maan looked at her retreating back ... and surprisingly had a smile on his face. He shook his head and left.
[Note: For those who are wondering why they both hate each other, when on their first meet they were in a dreamy world of love ... Guys one simple answer ... at that time they were not in their senses ... it was their hearts only, recognising each other instantly even without seeing each other ... but now that meeting has sunk somewhere in the unconscious/semiconscious. Now they are in their senses or are they??? Hmm ... bahut ho gaya ... I don't want to confuse anymore cuz mujhe khud kuch samajh nahi aa raha ... BABAJI help!!!!]

Scene 2:
Lunch Break
Canteen
Geet and Nano talking ... Pinki munching...
It took Nano a lot of pleading and bribing to manaofy Geet. Finally she calmed down a bit.
"Geet, gussa thook de ... Dekh he's the College Captain and tu jaanti hai na he didn't even report about your boasting about you-know-what??"
Oh no ... Nano had opened the Pandora's box of Geet's suppressed anger ... the countdown began
...3...2...1...0
GEET BLAST!!!!😡
"WHAT??? Kaunsi baat huh? Kaunsi baat? Issme kaun si badi baat hai ... huh??? I just said that I know the College Captain ... But what did he do??"
"Geet ... tu shayad bhool rahi hai ... you said a lot more than that ... you said he's your boyfriend ... remember and that too to him ... woh toh accha hua usne baat sambhal li and prevented a big humiliating scandal ... Waise ... still some people think he's your..." Nano bursted out laughing😆 seeing Geet make a yucky face.
"YUCKS!!!🤢 Agar mujhe pata hota yeh a-k-d-o-o ... s-a-d-o-o ... grrr ... College Captain hai ... toh main ... CHEEE!!! NEVER!!!🤢 ... Aur waise bhi I hate boys," Geet said holding her head in between her knuckles, clenching her teeth in anger.
"Oh ho!!! Accha yaar jaanti hoon humari Geet Madam ko boys se allergy hai ... But Babaji ne koi na koi Mr Special tere liye banaya hoga ... Aur kya pata woh yahi ho? And ladka itna bura bhi nahi hai!"
Pinki agreed nodding her head with her mouth full...
Geet shook her head like NO NEVER ... NOT EVEN IF HE'S THE LAST GUY ALIVE.
Pinki dreamily says munching on to her tenth sandwich, "Kitna handsome hai yaaarrr!! Pata nahi main kabhi usse kyun nahi takarati???"
Nano rolling her eyes with a naughty grin at Geet, pointing towards Pinki's swooning gesture ... and humari Geet clenching her teeth tighter ... almost chipping her tooth.
"Arre ghoor mat mujhe ... Pinki sach hi toh kah rahi hai ... Iss college ka sabse good looking ladka hai ... sabse alag hai ... sabse best ... and the best part is he knows what he wants from life ... Inn lafange ladkon se toh infinite times better hai."
"Oh I am so sorry Nano ... Mujhe toh lafange ladke hi pasand hai..."
Nano and Pinki looked surprised to hear about Geet's thoughts on guys for the first time ... and Nano thought to taunt her more...
"Oh toh Madam ko ladke pasand bhi hai ... But meri tube light tu ek gundi kaafi hai ... tera 'woh' bhi lafanga hua na toh phir ... ho gaya WWIII ... Aur waise bhi kehte hain na ... Jodiyaan toh Bhagwaan banate hain ... and opposites attract ... It is nature's law."
Geet gave a bored look and pointed her finger to her mouth ... sticking her tongue out ... saying, "B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!"
"Zyaada itrah mat ... Dekhna main joh keh rahi hoon wahi hoga .. .Abhi tu uske baare main yeh sab keh rahi hai na ... thode dino main uska naam japti phiregi ... Phir dekhti hoon..."
"Ho gaya tera ... Nano Mata ka pravachan agar khatam ho gaya ho toh kya hum kuch kha sakte hain. Uss s-a-d-o-o ne mera poora din kharab kar diya ... Aur ab tum log bhi ussi ki yaad dila rahe ho..."
Oooppsss ... "ussi ki yaad dila rahe ho" wrong choice of words. Pinki dropped her sandwich and gaped at her. Nano smirked ... Geet had had enough ... first Mr Akdoo and now her own friends...
"Kya?? Kya???" she asked frustrated at the smirks of her best friends, "Tum log toh bas ... Main toh yeh thodi na keh rahi thi ki main usko yaad ... I mean ... I was just saying that he spoiled my day..."
"Yeah yeah ... we understand ... tujhe thodi na uski yaad aayegi..."
"Nano!!!😡" she screams and pounces on her ... pulling her hair ... almost dislodging her from her chair. The canteen owner looks baffled. He had seen guys fighting and breaking each others' bones but this was the first time he was watching girls fight like crazy ... but technically speaking Nano was just lying down and Geet was the one doing all action.
Nano knew Geet was childish, but she needed to control the situation before they become a sight of mockery.
"Sorry sorry sorry ... yaar leave my hair ... I take my words back..."
Pinki dreamily ... still unaware of her friends lying on the floor.
"Haaye!!" she gasped dreamily, "Tum dono kyun jhagad rahi ho ... Agar Geet ko woh nahi chahiye toh main hoon na uske liye. He's my Ben Affleck! My Salmaan Khan ... Double dekker sandwich with super extra cheese ... My Aloo ki tikki..."
Suddenly Geet and Nano looked at Pinki who was almost drooling lost in her imagination ... Geet kicked her bum, making the sandwich fly out of Pinki's mouth and falling on her head .
"Pinki! You are embarrassing us ... Wipe your face..." Nano wiped Geet's head and passed a tissue to Pinki.
The girls continued their lunch and fight ... unaware that what Nano told Geet was soon going to be true ... cuz it is destined.
Scene 3:
Auditorium
Maan enters>>>>
Adi was busy with some students discussing about something important. He sees Maan walking in looking lost. "Strange ... Maan and lost ... zarroor kuch gadbad hui hai ... Kahin phir se Geet ke saath ... Definitely they both fought again," he wondered and dispersed the juniors.
"Hey Dude ... Principal se baat hui?" he didn't wanted to ask him about Geet straight away.
Maan lifted his head and replied passively, "Haan woh ... Sir wanted to know about the Programme schedule and preparations."
"Oh okay ... Accha chal chalke lunch karte hain ... Phir sab aaram se plan karte hain."
"Yaar bhookh nahi hai ... I have to look into the list and..." he turns to Adi suddenly looking alert, "Did you do the job?" asked Maan.
"Yeah, tune jaisa kaha waise karwa diya ... You don't worry ... Aaj shaam tak sab theekh ho jayega. Tu yeh sab chod ... mujhe yeh bata aaj kuch hua kya?" he asked suggestively.
"Kya hua?? Kuch bhi toh nahi..." he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Adi seriously trying to read his intention, "Why are you asking me this?"
"Kuch nahi aise hi," Adi notices his nose was crooked and a drop of blood on his nose tip, "Infirmary main gaya?"
"Infirmiry?😕" he questions in confusion, and suddenly realises it is his nose that Adi is talking about, "Oh Sh*t!!" he turns and wipes his nose, but it's only now that he realised his nose was paining like hell... "A-a-a-h-h!" he let out a scream almost naturally when he rubbed his nose a bit harshly.
"God! I think it's broken..." Adi pulls him with him towards the infirmary.
...
Scene 4:
Lunch break over
Students returning to their departments...
| THE NOTICE BOARD |
The area surrounding the NB was crowded especially by anxious looking first years.
Nano lifted her neck to look over the crowd, "Yaar, there's something important on the NB. Come we'll go and see."
"Tu ja ... me not interested ... I am going to the Dance class." (The only class she attended without any pushing and pulling.)
"Geet sun toh ... achha ja..." Nano withdrew her effort to stop Geet knowing it is useless.
Geet already left...
Pinki went to the Main Seminar Hall to attend the International Movies Seminar ... exclusively about movies made on food and foodies in different languages. Pinki would not miss it at any cost ... even if the food is on screen.
Scene 5:
Dance Class
Free Period, since the Dance teacher Ms. Subalakshmi was on leave.
Phir kya tha ... Madam Geet took over ... bossing around cutely ... which everyone liked. She was just adorable ... brought happiness where ever she went.
She slipped in the CD into the Music player and wiggled her eyebrows up and down like ... Wait for it!!!
Music began ... typical old Hindi film music ... 😃
Geet animated the lyrics raising her hand ...
Champi ... Tel Malish ...
(Sar jo tera chakraaye, ya dil dooba jaaye
Aaja pyaare paas hamaare, kaahe ghabraaye.. kaahe ghabraaye) -2
She pulled a girl and tapped her head as if applying oil ... the girl giggled and the rest of the class laughed.
(Tel mera hai muski, ganj rahe na khuski
Jis ke sar par haath phira doon chamke kismat uski) -2
Nano entered eyeing her angrily😡 ... Phir shuru ho gayi iski nautanki😕
Geet came around her making a baby face ... making Nano to laugh finally ... and continued acting with the music ...
Sun sun sun, are beta sun, is champi mein bade bade gun -2
Laakh dukhon ki ek dava hai kyoon na aazmaaye
Kaahe ghabraaye, kaahe ghabraaye
...
She began acting like a weird mix of Johny Walker plus Kishore Kumar. And her dance moves were so crazy that she seemed like an alien. But it was very funny ... her swoons ... funny gestures ... clown steps ... She pulled everyone into the dance ... and the entire class room reverberated with fun and pure, unadulterated laughter.
Suddenly there was silence ... but Geet continued her swaggering and jumping ... actually her dancing oblivious to the alarming silence.
"Geet!" Nano called to caution her ...
Geet turned in a funny pirouette ... sticking her tongue out to her😛 ... and that is when she realised that everyone was silent ... not exactly cuz all the girls were oggling with their eyes blinking dreamily, towards the door ... She jerked her head to look at the door, still in that pirouette, lost her balance and ...
"THUD!!!" landed flat on her bums.
A burst of laughter ...
But Geet didn't hear it ... all she could hear was a particular laughter ... his laughter🤣 ... and her eyes instantly filled up...
She tried to get up ... but the fall was serious ... her ankles were sprained ... She wiped her tears and tried again ... but she fell back.
She sees an extended hand in front of her ... holds it and gets up. The hand supports her to balance on her feet. She hops a bit and says, "Thank you ..." but the moment she looks up to see the owner of the hand, her expressions change to anger, and she shoves his hand away.
