Part-17
Maan informed shekhar... but to his bad luck His mobile rang and Geet's eyes widened to hear that ring and she asked-Maan what is this.? Aap to Shekhar se baat kar rahe the how can your mobile ring.That means you were not talking to him Right ? you were pretending to talk to him.
Maan was looking at Geet as well as at his phone too like a fool.(ST) Oh no all efforts are going to be wasted now.(To Geet) Arrey nahin Geet.actually phone got disconnected and Shekhar is calling me back.
Geet was still looking at him-maan when our phone is disconnected we instantly know it . How can anyone continue on a disconnected phone.
Maan scratched his head now(ST) Maan you know na that it's not easy to win over her.Jasoos hai puri.
Geet-I m still waiting Maan.
Maan- Okey...Geet I want to tell you the truth. Actually.. I didn't have a heart to say no to Shekhar.It's not about my friend .It's about his sister.Just think how sad she will be after hearing a No from us. You are her last hope.she can buy it from market but what about her dream...I just wanted to convince you for the last time so I was making a fake call... Maan threw another card..If same happens with our Anie ..how she will feel Just keep anie once at her place. And you have already said yes ,so please don't back out .Please do it .okey not for Shekhar or his sister... do it for me ...Maine kitne vishwaas ke saath unko kaha hai.ab main mana karoonga to unke saath mujhe bhi bura lagega.
Geet was still looking at him while thinking in her heart .He had a trust on her and he promised on her behalf.He has done so much for her.He went against all the odds ,even he fought with taiji for her.can't she do such a small favor for him by keeping her that oath for not being a designer aside for a while?
And Geet nodded in yes.Maan was so happy. Finally...He had done it..and asked again-are you sure na?
Geet-yes...
Taiji was watching all that .-Maan do they know about Geet? I mean about being her a widow..Wo kya hai na shagun ka kaam hai to...kahin kuchh gadbad na ho jaaye...issliye pahle batana theek hai na
Maan-Taiji you are the only one in this world who think just different from what other can think on a matter. yes they know every thing about Geet and me too. and how will it make a difference with a dress if Geet is married or unmarried or a widow ?
Taiji gulped hard to see maan in such an angry mode and said"beta main to bas yun hi poonchh rahi thi..
Maan wanted to say more but Geet stopped him-Please ...don't ..she was in tears..
Seeing her in tears Maan stopped.Geet composed herself after some time and said-Maan I want to meet that girl ..
Maan-What?
Geet-why are you so surprised? The girl who is going to wear the dress will only decide what she wants to wear. color combination and the work which will be done on that will be decided by her only.
Maan was now gaping at her like what should he do now? he said-okey ...i will tell Shekhar to bring his sister for a meeting with you. Till then you prepare your sketches.
Geet nodded her head and Maan hurriedly went to his room.
He called Rahul-Rahul it's so complicated.Geet has said yes after a lot of emotional blackmailing .But problem is more dangerous now.Geet wants to meet the girl for whom she is going to design that dress.Aaj to jhooth bolkar maine haan karwa li.par ab aage kaise manage karenge.
Rahul laughed after hearing him-And you know it's very hard to convince her..Let me think...after few minutes-what if we make an excuse about the meeting with that girl..I mean like she is not available in the city or some thing else like that..kyunki wo to baar baar milna chahegi na usko. Kabhi design select karne ke liye kabhi material select karne ke liya kabhi dress ka trial lene ke liye. Kahaan se laaoge baar baar..
Maan-You have lot of experience about it...
Rahul-After all I m in this business. Geet too selected the fashion designing as she wanted to help us in the business.
Maan-Hmmm..-Kya karoon... should I tell her the truth..
Rahul-Haan jaao aur bata do. She will feel hurt for not telling the truth at first. She will never believe you again.
Maan-But kabhi na kabhi to usko sach pata chal hi jaayega.tab kya karenge.
Rahul-We will think later about that. We have time for that. first let her prepare the dress and second ..let the dress be selected for the last five..and for now ..only think what you are going to tell her about the girl.
Maan-Right..all will come later , we have to solve this problem first .and he hung the call.and thought about his next move
Next day when maan was leaving for the office,Geet again reminded him about to fix a meeting with the girl and maan agreed.On the way to his office he kept on thinking the way to come out of the situation..
He reached the office and thought to call Ritika.After all It was she who suggested the idea to make geet ready to participate in that competition. He dialed Shekhar and wished to talk with Ritika. Shekhar gave him Ritika's no. and he called her. She picked up the phone and maan explained her the situation. Ritika suggested him a way to avoid that situation. She mailed him the measurement of a dress which normally fits on every model.
But that was only one solution for first problem. what about later.?He thought-Maan it seems now you have only one job and that is- How to convince Geet for every now and then.Office ka kaam main kab karunga. I have to think for a permanent solution. Wo bhi aaj hi.Ye Rahul bhi na kitni aasani se kah diya ki It's very hard to convince Geet...Idea nahin de sakta tha.aakhir bahan hai uski...Let me do some office work too for some time.geet ke bare me baad me soch lenge.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
He reached home.
After having the dinner Geet again asked-maan did you inform Shekhar or not? we have very less time.
Man-Geet .. have you prepared the sketches?
Geet-yes I made some sketches to show her.
Maan thought for some time and said-Geet actually I called Shekhar and he informed that his sister is out of the country for few days. He said that he and his sister have trust on you as you are the best student of your college till date.She will accept what you make for her.Geet I was thinking ..what if we gift this dress to his sister as her wedding gift. shadi se do teen din pahle de denge.wo trial bhi le legi.Shekhar has mailed me her measurements . You can prepare the dress. Girl looks like you or anie. ..So do whatever you think is the best.
Get-That girl is quite strange. Out of country jaa rahi thi to wahaan hi dress banwa sakti thi.wahaan to aisa koi wedding season nahin hota.
Maan-Yes you are right.but may be she wants it to be prepared by some Indian designer...
Geetr-Hmmm.. okey As you say.If you want to gift it , then ...tell me your budget ..i will plan accordingly.
Maan-Unlimited..
Geet -What?
Maan-I mean gift hai to best to hona hi chahiye.After all THE Maan Singh Khurana ka gift hoga.
Get-Okey then..let me show you the sketches see if they are perfect or not? She went to her room to bring the sketches
Man was like -OMG finally all is well that ends well.She is convinced and will not ask about the girl any more. Only the problem is left about the last day of competition,If she reaches top five. It will be a tough job for me to take her there.Koi nahin Rahul hai na wo help karega meri.And he was satisfied now.
Geet brought all the sketches which she prepared in the day.Maan looked all and was impressed to see them.All were mind blowing. Anie too was there .
Anie too appreciated them-Bhabhi main to apni shadi ki dress bhi aap se hi banwaaungi and she stuck her tongue between her teeth.
Maan and Geet smiled to see her.
She showed some readymade designs too to which she could give a different look by her imagination
But anie and maan selected one from the sketches which Geet prepared.
It was simple yet beautiful and elegant.
Geet-Well the design is selected so we have to work fast.fifteen days are very less for the dress making.maan can I borrow your driver for a day? I will need someone with me to handle all the things. I mean material, and some other things.
Maan-Why not ? I will send him for your help.
Geet-Thanks
Maan-Thanks to you too Geet for making the dress. I m so grateful to you.
Maan-baat agar family ki ho to uske liye main kuchh bhi karoongi.you need not to say thanks for that.it's my duty to do what my family wants from me.
Maan nodded and gave her a smile.
she too nodded and all wished goodnight to each other and left for their bedrooms.
Next morning on breakfast table
Maan-Geet have your breakfast quickly. We have to leave in few minutes.
Geet-but where are you going?
Maan-To buy the material what you want.
Geet -I can go by myself. I asked you only for the driver.
Maan-Driver is on leave today.He called me in the morning that his daughter is sick so he need to take her to the doctor.
Geet-Theek hai .main abhi aati hoon. And she left to get ready.
After Geet got ready both left for the shopping. One person who didn't like this at all was taiji.,who was fuming to see them going together.but she knew that it was not the right time to say anything.
Both reached at shopping mall
Geet-Maan why we are here?
Maan-to purchage the materials and other things you need.
Geet-Maan we can get only readymade things in the mall.The material I need is only available in old markets. By going there we will get best material plus our money too will be saved. there we can have so many options.
Maan-What? You mean the market like chandni chowk ...or.. Lajpat Nagar..
Geet-yes
Maan-But they are too crowded Geet
Geet-I know.That's why I asked you for the driver.
Maan"No problem ..Today I m your driver so will do whatever you say.chalo.kahaan jaana hai?
Geet-Laajpat Nagar.we will buy the material from there and then will go to chandni Chowk to give the dress material for the work to be done on that.
Maan-OMG..ye main aaj kahaan phans gaya.I have never been there before because they are always over crowded. But in one way it's good that I m with her.other wise she would have roam around alone in such busy places.
They reached Lajpat Nagar and bought the material Geet needed.The shopkeeper tried to convince her in many ways to but the costliest material but Maan saw that she wasn't at all convinced by him. She bought only what she wanted to buy.
After that it was time for heading towards chandni Chowk.Theyr eached there and Geet asked to park the car in parking as they couldn't take the car in the market. Maan parked the car and picked up the bags and both went in to the narrow lanes of Chandni chowk.They reached to a shop.
Geet-Aadaab Chacha jaan..
Shop owner-Arrey Geet..tum itne dino baad.kaise yaad aayi aaj apne chacha jaan ki
Geet-Ji wo kuchh kaam tha.Mujhe ek dress ready karni hai.Time nahin hai issiliye aapke paas aayi hoon.I have only one week.aap kar denge?
S -.O.-Agar koi aur hota to mana kar deta.season chal raha hai na.par tumhen nahin kar sakta.Ho jaayega bitiya. Be fikr raho
Geet gave him the design to be made on the material along with the measurement of the dress.
Geet-Thank u chacha jaan.
S.O. areey iski zaroorat nahin hai Geet...Geet ye sahab ..he signaled at maan.
Geet-he is Maan. Mere pati ke judwa bhai.
S.O.-Oh suna tumhaare pati ke bare me Handa sahib se..
Before that geet could say something Maan said- bahut bahut Shukriya aapka. Hum ek week ke baad aakar le jaayenge isko.Geet let's go... and he didn't give her the time to react on Shop owner's comment.
Geet and Maan returned to the parking. Geet set in the car silently.
Maan-Geet It's quite late. I think we should have lunch here only.Ghar pahunchne me to late ho jaayenge.
Geet- Hmm.
They reached to a restaurant to have the lunch.They ordered their lunch and waited for their order.
Maan-Tum pahle bhi aayi ho Chandni chowk me?
Geet-Yes.papa gives his orders to the same person.and I too took his help in preparing my dresses for the projects during the study.
Maan-O.K.
Their order was served and they started to eat but they didn't know that some one was watching them having their lunch and talking so freely to each other...It was one of their neighbor who too was there for some shopping with her husband and was having her lunch there...
Precap-Geet and Maan friendship and trust on each other deepens... will it sustain even after Geet knows the truth???
