Maan: Phir se pe ke utli karne aayi thi??[You came to vomit again?]
Geet: Maan!!!
Maan: Exactly...
Geet: What are you doing here?
Maan: I think I should ask you that question, its men's washroom...
Geet: Oh! woh kya hai na, ladies washroom is full, so...[Oh! It happened that, ladies washroom was full so..]
Maan: Now if you permit...can I?
Geet: What?
Maan: Geet!!! just move yaar, I too need to go...
Geet: Oh Ya ya..
Saying that she moved aside...
After a few minutes, they both together entered the disco...
Maan: When did you come to Hyderabad?
Geet: Friends aa rahe the toh mein bhi aa gayi...tum yaha kiske saath aaye ho?[My friends were coming, so I tagged along.Whom did you come with?]
Maan: That's my gang...pointing his finger to Misha, Romeo, Yash, and Pinky...
Pinky (dressed in completely black) and Yash (dressed in a purple t-shirt and faded jeans) were facing Maan and Geet while Misha (dressed in white knee length dress) and Romeo(dressed in white shirt and blue jeans) sat opposite to them...Pinky's face was bit clearly visible...
Geet: Woh purple shirt white dress wali pe line maar raha hai na[That purple shirt is trying to woo the white dress girl right?]
Maan was stunned...Tumhe kaise pata?![How did you know?]
Geet was proud of herself...I know face reading...
Maan didn't believe in that sort of things...any one can tell that simple thing by just looking at them.
Pinky and Yash were talking to each other so their side faces were visible to Geet now...
Geet: That girl in the black dress...
Maan: Ya..pinky...
Geet: Too noisy girl...
Maan: Woh bhi dekh ke pata chalta hai...[You can tell by seeing her]
Geet acted slightly offended...Hmmm...she is a devil in literal sense, pehle sab gaali degi uske baad hi baat karegi, one year back, ..ek chota sa accident...[Hmmm...she is a devil in literal sense...she will curse first then talk, one year back, a small accident]
Maan was surprised to hear that...Oh shit...!! Woh tumhe kaise pata...[Oh shit..!! How did you know?]
Pinky saw Maan and started scolding...You stupid idiot...!! How much more time will you take to come?...She goes near him to bang his head...
Pinky: Hey geetu...!!!!
Geet: Hi pinky...
Pinky: Maan she is childhood friend yaar
Maan wanted to kill Geet at that moment...while Geet was enjoying the facial expressions of Maan...from happiness to surprise to shock to i-will-kill-you-look...
Pinky to Geet: When did you come idiot?
Geet: Yesterday with my friends yaar, staying with my uncle. I will be here for a week, we will do full too shopping...
Geet was very excited...
Pinky: Oh shit man...!!! I am going to my granny house...some boring function is there...you could have called before coming na...
Maan: Tere jaise binna kaam ke log bahut hai na...kissi ko bhi saath bhej de...[There are many people without any work here, tag her along]
Pinky: Wow...!! Mill gaya..[Wow..!! I found one]
Maan: Kaun?[Who?]
Pinky: Tum[You]
Maan: Ya...me...what? me?
Geet started laughing seeing his face...
Maan: I am having a lot of work in the office. I can not.
Pinky: You stupid, always have that crying face plastered to your head, do you know geetu? Isse car, petrol etc etc sab kuch free hai.[He gets car, petrol etc etc all for free]
Geet: Wow..!! recession ke time pe bhi itni facilities? Nice yaar..!! patting his back...Karte kya ho maan?? Excitingly...[Wow..!! You get many faci;ities at this time of recessionWhat do you do Maan?]
And Maan acted delighted...
Scene changes...Tv 5 news channel studio..
Maan was directing an episode of crime watch...
Actor: dhundthe dhunte uski friend satya uske office gayi[Searching for her friend, Satya went to the office]
Meanwhile Geet was about to enter the studio...
Actor: she got angry that she was stopped by the watchman...
Watchman of the studio: aae madam andar nahi jaane ka...[You can not go inside]
Actor: now anger was visible in satya's eyes..her eyes were blood red...she just bursted...
Geet to Tv 5 studio watchman: Tum kaun hote ho mujhe rokne wale?[Who are you to stop me?]
Watchman of the studio : arey jao madam jao[You go madam]
Actor : bas...satya ko ab koi rok nahi sakta tha...she was unstoppable...[Now, none could stop Satya, she was unstoppable]
Geet to Tv 5 studio watchman: Do you know who am I? Maan's fiance...
Actor: her anger was at its peak now...
Geet: Kitne kaam hai pata bhi hai?Cards final karke printing ke liye deke...unpe naam likhke...purre shehar mein baatna hai...Phir shaadi ki bhi taiyariyan bhi karni hai...aur tum beech me aake kya andar nahi jaane ka laga rakha hai? Huh?Mein tumhara kachumar bana dungi...phir math kehna...Ab hato...[Do you know how much work is left?We need to finalise cards and get them for printingThen write the names of everyoneAnd distribute them in this whole cityWe need to prepare for wedding alsoAnd now you come in the middle and don't let me in? huh?I will deep fry you, don't tell me anything thenMove now]
Saying this she pushes him aside and enters the studio with a victorious smile...
Actor: what did satya do after entering? what bitter truth did she she? Coming up the other side of the break...
Geet spotted maan and was curiously seeing what was he upto...
Maan: Cut cut
He was getting frustrated by this actor.
Maan: Ishaan!! satya ne kya kiya? kya dekha ye sab itne simple tareke se batayenge toh there wont be any curiosity in the public...do it this way...[Ishaan, what did Staya do, if you convey this simply then there won't be any curiosity in the public, do it this way]
What did satya do?What did satya see?Was it horrifying?Coming up the other side...Do not go away...
Maan said all this with a lot of depth in his voice and with a stress upon each and every word ...he said this to a built lot of curiosity and anxiety in the viewers...
Geet could control herself and started laughing like hell...she could even stand properly...she adjusted herself on the stairs...she was in such a euphoric state that she had tears in her eyes and her stomach was paining...
People around her wondered who was she?
When Maan saw a bit of crowd gathered near staircase he went to see what happened...
As soon as Geet saw Maan she pointed a finger at him and started laughing even more...
Maan was embarrassed...
He took her outside near the parking lot and opened the car door for her...after she sat and making himself comfortable in the driver seat..he asked...Kahan jana hai?[Where do you want to go?]
She burst out laughing...
Maan: Geet yaar please...
Geet: Ok ok sorry...koi bhi shopping maal le chalo...[Ok ok sorry...take me to any shopping mall]

In disco
Romeo: Ha ha ha ha ha
Yash: Ha ha ha ha ha
Misha: Ha ha ha ha ha
Pinky: Why have you put such a stupid face Maan? You always think about that...and I don't understand why do boys crave for long hair? Waise bhi tere baal theek toh hai na...[Your hair is fine]
Maan: Don't touch it yaar...waise bhi tere aur mere alava yaha kisi ko nahi pata ki tu ladki hai...so stay bit away...warna pata nahi log kya sochenge...[Don't touch it yaar...no one except our gang knows that you are a girl...so stay bit away...people will think otherwise then...]

Romeo: Hahahaha
Maan: Don't worry Romeo, you too will have a stadium on your head soon, well I need to go to washroom
As he was about to enter the washroom, a girl pushes him aside and enters it.
He double checks it if it was men's washroom and indeed it was.
He waited for the girl to come outside.
As soon as the door opened, he was stunned and happy to see Geet.

THAT'S HOW IT STARTED - Part 7
Part Seven
The first few months of my married life always filled with warmth whenever I think back. The transition of knowing your wife, liking her and eventually loving her makes me relive those days every moment of my life.
As my professional commitments grew, my wife sort of managed everything and suddenly I became so dependent on her for daily little things. It kind of felt good and made me love her more and more each and every passing day.
Then came the day which I still curse when I look back. As I opened my office id, I was graced with more of my sister’s emails than office emails. I rarely reply to the usual how are you and other similar messages nowadays. I answered only when she asked something important or when I had to say something. I started to go through the recent one which said-You don’t talk to meYou are not even onlineYou don’t share anything these daysAnd I don’t even know if you are reading my emailsYou have changed a lot :’(
I was really enraged and immediately repliedDon’t bluff okWhat do you want me to share?I shared all my crushes, the moment I joined college and passed out of it, my first job, first salary and literally everything..What more do you want me to share? Tell me?!I would share if anything significant happens and you know it. I don’t insist on coming online due to our time difference but you won't understand and continue your nagging.We both are adults now, for God's sake, grow up.You are even a mom of 2 kids, behave like one.
I pressed send and then realized, what have I done?As usual, that day was crap and it went worse when she cut my call. I thought what if she doesn’t accept my apology. Suddenly I had an idea to call her husband. I was relieved when he picked up the phone. His voice told me that I called at the wrong time for which I was sorry. I explained and admitted everything to Jiju.
Jiju: How many times will you say sorry. It's okay yaar.
Me: Let me talk to her. She even cut my call, she never does that.
Jiju: Hey no, she just slept a few min ago and that ringtone disturbed her so I instantly cut it. Not her.
Me: She was awake this late? Like 3 am?
Jiju: She was upset, you know how she is. You at the office?
I cursed myself, she probably cried. I forgot how sensitive she can be.
Me: Just got over
Jiju: I will take care. Don’t worry.
My colleagues called me if I wanted a ride home and I had cut the call reluctantly after Jiju’s reassurances.
I apologized later and she did say it was okay and insisted that I forget about it.
Our video calls and overall calls for that matter, reduced considerably to once a month affair. She did share a lot of pictures but she was the one who took them, so she was not even in one of them. My behavior which hurt her would kill me one day for sure. The only solace was my wife.
Days passed and I moved on from that incident. My wife and I moved to a country side independent home and it took much of our time and energy to get settled. At last every second was worth it.
One day my wife announced that we were pregnant. Her admission was cute and it still runs in front of eyes. I was so elated that, that day was undoubtedly the best days of my life. I molded my work hours to cater her needs due to her terrible morning sickness. People easily recognized the good news as my face had a permanent smile etched on my face.
My wife and I chose her birthday to reveal the good news to our families back in India. Their reaction was out of the world. It was instantly planned that my In-laws would be coming as soon as possible and a few months later nearly during our due date, my parents too.
It was now the time to call my sister. I felt my wife was the appropriate person to do the honors as she was very excited. They were going on and on and on and I was like what the hell are they talking about so much?!
I was hurt when my wife cut the call and came to hug me. When I didn’t reciprocate, she looked at me with questioning eyes, for which I had no answer. The silence was broken by the ringing of the mobile.
BFF SuNsHiNe calling
I told my wife it was nothing and kissed her forehead. She went off to do her chores and I went to the balcony, cut the call and called the same number.
My sister[MS]: you won't change that dirty habit of yours, huh
Me: I am sorry
MS: for what?
Me: I was rude
MS: when?
Me: I shouldn’t have sent that email
MS: I am done through that yaar. Come out of it
Me: Then why didn’t you text for so many days?
MS: I call your wife, we are ganging up on you
Me: Really!!
I was surprised
MS: If not you, then her, she giggledyou know me
Me: Ya, you are awful, do you know what she stored your name as?
MS: Kya?
Me: BFF Sunshine
MS: Aww..really..thats so sweet of her, dekhke sikho kuch, waise I stored her name as Babylicious
Me: What is that?! My wife is not to be named after something to eat. Tum bhi na
MS: Yours is Cutiepie
Me: Come on yaar, I am not cutiepie
MS: For me you are, waise who sab chodo, hearty congratulations, buddy, I am going to be a bua and I am loving it already.
Me: Haan haan
MS: You excited?!!
Me: I am nervous yaar. I can't even describe that feeling
MS: Hota hai yaar and don’t worry, you would make everything right
Me: Don’t say that. Last time I messed up
MS: Phir se wahi baat, move on baba, and I will still say that you would make everything right
Me: Don’t start that again
MS: Jao phir nahi bolti mein
She cut the call. My Fierce Nagging baby was back.I kept calling her and at last, she picked it up God knows when..
MS: What now?
Me: Nothing, just wanted to hear you curse me
MS: Go to hell, hamesha bakwaas hi karte ho tum
I started laughing but I couldn’t hear anything on the other side
Me: Hello, you there?
MS: Yyaar don’t go to hell, abhi toh baby bhi aane wala hai
Me: Seriously, you are something elseI burst into another round of laughter
MS: chup kar yaar, you have to look after them
Me: Ya I will
MS: Waise I like that you both wanted to keep the gender of the baby as a surprise
Then we talked about everything that came to our mind. She teased me for doing all the household chores and cooking. She also gave suggestions to fulfill my wife’s carvings, to take her to evening walks and importance of her postures and all. It was indeed valuable.
Well, what do I say, those months of our pregnancy were the most demanding, physically exhausting and emotionally draining days of my life. Now that I look back, those were the only memories I cherish of us.
