Part 13
After dealing with the media
Maan was completely lost in his own thoughts while driving home, he was tapping his fingers on the steering wheel thinking about Geet
Maan adjusts the rearview mirror to see Geet's eyes which had a strange happiness in them as though she achieved everything she wanted in her life.
He was delighted to see her this way, unable to control his thoughts, he turns his head a bit to watch her and sees her playing with the bracelet which united them..a smile crept upon his face.
Seeing her filled with happiness filled his heart with content, he just coulnt take away his eyes.
Finally he spoke after a long time, You're different today
Geet: Different means?
Maan: Different means unusual
Geet: Unusual means?
Maan: Unusual means I don't know, sort of something new and beautiful
Like really a wonderful thing happened
Geet: Hey Maan, drive properly
As he drove his car lost in her words and thoughts, he hit a tata sumo parked just in front of him.
A furious Muslim fellow [MF] chewing paan came out of it and started cursing him How are you driving man?
By this time both Maan and Geet came out of the car
Maan: I didn't see.
Spitting paan from his mouth, he said What do you think? That this is your dad's road or what?
That fellow started pushing Maan while talking.
Maan: It's my fault
MF: what bloody fault? Look at the damage to my car
Geet too joined Maan by now
Maan: I will have it repaired
MF: what? Do you think I cant have it done?
Maan: ITS SUCH A SMALL DENT, showing that dent at the back of his sumo
MF: This is small dent?
What would happen if I am dismissed by the owner?
Maan: I said it's my fault
I said I will get it repaired
MF: Why did you drive losing yourself in thoughts?
Geet thought this man is now doing too much...time for some lesson
She pushed Maan aside.
With a baby face she said, actually it was my fault, I was talking to him
MF: impossible madam
Geet: It was my fault
Maan was trying a lot to not to involve geet but Geet being Geet didn't listen to him
MF: I cant keep quite even if it's your fault madam
And Maan was banging his head to make both of them quiet.
But what geet did next surprised Maan
Geet: Whats your name?
MF: Yaqub
Geet: I am geet
MF: okay
Maan was surprised to see Geet freely conversing with him
Geet: Where are you from?
MF: I am from Malakpet
Geet: Is it? I am from Bangalore
MF: oh really! I regularly visit Bangalore
Geet: Actually I am here for few days.
And this your car
MF: small dent madam!! I will look into it myself
Spitting paan he told I will repair it myself
Geet: Okay
I am actually so sorry
MF: don't worry madam...such things happen
Geet: Oh thank you...thanks a lot
Hearing so..he removed his sumo from the road and drove off happily
Maan was dumbstruck as Geet rose her invisible collar and was happy from the core of his heart
***
Geet made Maan go shopping with her yet again.
Maan was having shopping bags in his both hands and a car passed very close to him with very high speed.
Geet was unaware as she was listening to songs on her iPod and she continued walking humming the song.
Maan was startled with that racing car and all the shopping bags fell on the street.
He shouted as the car passed...are you blind or what?
Geet by now moved a bit ahead of him passing by some cheap cad fellows who were eating butta by the side of butte wala [maize seller]
Those fellows started passing cheap comments about geet which were not unheard by Maan.
What a girl she is buddy!!!
What a figure
The figure is great like tender fresh corn
Yes
Hearing their comments Maan walked towards them with a damn serious face adjusting his watch
When he was straight in front of them, one of them asked him, Who are you?
Maan removed his goggles, How much?
One of the cad: What?
Maan: What's the time brother?
One of the cad: Smart ass!!! Don't try to act smart
Maan: Ok...but don't tease that girl...with his puppiest face ever
One of the cad: Why? Will you beat us?
Maan: No brother...she is completely mad...with fake tears in his eyes
Don't know how long will she live
Grew physically...but not mentally
One of the cad: What happened to her?? Everyone shocked all of a sudden
Maan: Has anyone seen film Anjali?
One of the cad: One of them...I saw I saw...eating his butta (maize)
Maan: Same problem hai brother
One of the cad: Yes...she even has the similar hair style
Everyone by now was convinced with whatever Maan told and were feeling sad for their so called ANJALI
You are correct, said the other one
Maan: Even doctors have given up
Few had almost tears in their eyes except Maan who was having fake tears
One of them spoke up, no melodrama please
And one of them started walking towards Geet in trance.
And the one who was speaking to Maan says, this even makes things better, we will tease or do anything, pointing his finger towards Maan and you will stay out of this
Maan: Humanity is dead brother
Cad fellow: It is dead
Unable to bare Maan's melodrama he pushed him and Maan fell on the street with a thud.
As he was about to get up; the one who walked towards geet fell on him and now Maan and that fellow were facing each other
Maan: Hands off me u idiot...I agree its legal now...but whats this nasty pose?? Cant you even warn before beating??
He said, that Anjali baby is beating us without any warning
Maan: Anjali baby? Who is that?
As they both turn their heads they see Geet pulling one's hair with both her hands and turning him round and round on the street, as the other one went near her to save his friend but she hit him in between his legs without losing the grip on other's hair.
That fellow was completely in pain and just fell on the ground holding his private part.
As another fellow approached she hit hard on his leg with her high pointed heel
Oh no!!! I am terribly dead
Loosening one hand on his hair she starts beating him with her free hand's elbow on his back...he was shouting in pain, please brother tell her to stop
One of them went to her with pleading hands and told, please leave him sister, he may die
When she didn't hear him he turns to his fellow mates and yells, yaar this girl is a real terror.
The fellow whose hair geet was pulling somehow manages to escape.
Finding other one with pleading hands she shows no mercy, she holds his collar and starts slapping him across his face continuously.
Maan just stood rooted to his place watching Geet, he came out of the trance as she shouted top of her voice.
Geet: Bloody crook..!!! who is this Anjali?
She took one of his hand and twisted it back and bit his arm with her teeth...he started shouting in pain...
Maan approached Geet and her back was facing him. Without turning back she just hit him with her leg at his private part.
Maan: GEEETTT
Leaving that fellow Geet ran towards Maan who was wincing in pain
Geet: Oh my god maan...are you hurt??
Where are you hurt??
Maan: YOU ARE ASKING DETAILS!!!!!
Seeing those idiots running away she spoke, where are you going?? Stop right there
And she started running behind them and even managed to catch one of them
Geet: Rascal...you teased me
Cad fellow: Leave me, sister
Maan ran behind her and managed to pull her away
Geet: Leave me, leave me Maan !!! Where the hell are you running away?? I will kill you all
She was struggling to get out of maan's grip but maan tightened his hold and said, Geet...listen to me
After much pleading, he managed to calm her and even forgot his pain. Taking all the shopping bags they both went to a bakery to chill.
***
Maan ordered a pastry while Geet took her juice
As Maan was about to relish his pastry...he thought of giving a bite to Geet, Will you eat?
Geet: I don't want
Okay, he started to enjoy his pastry
Geet: Whats in your mouth is 150 calories as he took his first bite, whats on the plate is 250 calories, if you eat all this you will become a fat slob and when I will call you from behind, you will have to turn your entire body to see me
But these words had no effect on Maan and he continued to eat his pastry
By the way, she sipped her juice and just took his another bite, excess sweets induce hair loss
That's it!!! Geet hit the correct nerve.
As he heard this...he spat out everything and Geet sat there laughing holding her stomach.
Maan was glaring her and all of a sudden he saw his sister [she was wearing green suit] and brother-in-law entering the same bakery...immediately he hid under the table
Geet was confused with his behavior, she too bent under the table and asked him, What are you doing?
Shhh he tried to calm her
Geet: What?
Maan: Friends are coming
Geet turned and saw a green dressed girl coming with a guy and she asked him bending under the table
Geet: The one with that green dressed girl
Maan: Yes...you sit properly
Staying in the same pose she smiled and asked him, is this how you play with eachother always??
Maan: Playing?? With them??...they are a big bheja fry batch
Geet found it very funny, she immediately went to both of them and asked, hey are you guys the bheja fry batch??
Annie was surprised to see this girl directly coming and asking them, she was confused, what bheja fry batch??
Geet: Aren't you Maan's friends??
What?? Arjun sounded surprised
Annie: Friends??
Meanwhile, Arjun went to attend his call as his cell started ringing, I will come back in a sec
Geet: Ya, Maan, he is right here
Annie: Where?
Meanwhile, Maan managed to hide behind a small bush and pretended to call his mother, Mum...did sister call you?...its been many days since I saw her mom
Geet found him hiding in the bush and took Annie there.
Maan acted surprised seeing her, Sis!!! I was just talking to mom about you.
Annie lifted her eye-brow giving a look is-it-really-so
Geet just stood staring at both of them
Maan again started his melodrama, mum please be on line, he said on the phone and then looked at both of them saying, am I dreaming or is it real??It is really a wonderful life in the pursuit of happiness, you know sis !!! just now I was, unable to find words he lifted his hand to the sky and told, God is really crazy you know !!
Seeing Geet smiling at both of them, he introduced Anwesha to her, Geet, this is Annie my sister, my darling behan giving Annie a bear hug.
Hugging Maan Annie told Kamal Hassan hasn't retired yet, don't go overboard Maan
Geet had a hearty laugh hearing this.
Maan: What have u said about me sis?? Just now I was talking to mum about you
Patting his back Annie showed his bro-in-law still on phone, look there
Maan: Hmm..ya..its jijaji
[It's brother-in-law]
Annie: Do you know who he is talking to?
Maan: Who?
Annie: With mum
Geet suppressed her laughter as Maan glared at her
