Part 4
“Hello… hellooo… Bhai can’t hear you” Maan disconnected the call and turned to see Adi and Karan looking at him intently
“Bhai’s call”
“Maan it’s Saturday evening. No family call, esp. in disc” and Karan handed him a bottle of beer.
Maan took the bottle and gulped.
“Maa ka ladla bigad gaya” teased Adi
“Now who is bringing the family in?” Maan questioned
“Well still Maa ka ladla at home.But this is our success party and today is Saturday. I can enjoy” Maan winked
“We deserve it we know..” said Karan “Cheers!!!” They raised the toast.
From other side came Sameera and Pari
“Well family is not allowed then why is Sam here”
“Well to clear you Maan, I am not here as karan’s GF but as your business partner. And this deal was actually Pari’s and my win. Not you boys”
All boys were bit in the effects of drink and they together bowed down to the ladies.
“Naina, What to do? Maan could not hear me. Seems like he is partying with friends.”
“So?”
“So what? I wanted to give him hints of what bomb Dad is going to explode on him tomorrow”
Naintara laughed “Ohh.. I am gonna enjoy his face. All his hangover will just vanish” Naintara laughed holding her belly
“Naina you are really heartless” but her laugh was not stopping
“I mean… ” she could not control her laugh
“I mean Dad is right in this matter. Marriage is much needed for Maan now. But it will be fun to watch his face tomorrow.”
Dev shook his head.
“Okay Dev, you take a rest. I will check on Vicky. He had an upset stomach. Let me see if he wants to have something”
“You take care of my brothers more than me” Dev complained, pouting his lips. Naintara hit him on his lips.
“What do I do Dev. You have pampered them so much they have not grown up yet. Still Vicky is better than Maan I will say”
Dev shook his head “Maan is so emotional by heart and so stubborn at the same time. We really need someone for him who understands him”
Naintara nodded and left to check on Vicky.
“Geet, get ready properly and do not make a fuss today. A very reputed family is coming for alliance. IG saheb is coming for his son for you”
“Okaayyy Chacha ji” Geet said reluctantly
“Now do not act. Such a good family is coming. If the alliance gets fixed here, it will be good for our family as well. They are in such reputed and influential posts, and can come to our use in many ways. Though not sure, from where did this family find you” Added her Aunt
Sheela came in to get Geet ready. “They are coming in the afternoon, right? Why do I get ready from now”
“Geet this is a good alliance, even I will say think properly about it.”
“I always think properly but have you not seen what kind of alliances have come till now. Most are skeptical about my being an orphan. Is it my fault? I feel their absence most. They don’t think about my pain, how do you expect them to give me love and happiness.”
“What do you think, does this family know you are an orphan and living with Uncle and Aunt?”
“How do I know Sheela? I highly doubt though or else why would they come for me. None of us know why they are even coming for alliance. What do you think, that the boy himself is also in an administrative post?”
“Not sure. Must be, they did not give any detail about which city they are from and what is their name. They will come and talk”
Sheela was getting Geet ready and they continued their talk.
“Maan wake up” Naintara was trying to wake up Maan from long but he was not even budging
“Ohh no, it’s already 10. Dad had been wanting to talk to Maan since yesterday. He had kept his patience till breakfast” she said to herself.
“Maaa-aan” she took the water jar and poured it on him. Maan immediately sat
“What the he**”
“Shut up and Get up. Dad has been waiting for you since yesterday. He is pacing in his room. Get freshened up fast and run”
Maan made his face “Can’t I escape it. I don’t want to ruin my Sunday”
“Yeah, you enjoy your Saturday party and you enjoy your Sunday and leave Mom to bear the brunt”
“Okay Okay” he lazily got down the bed and then held his head
“Shit”
Naintara forwarded him the glass of lemon water “Can’t you guys drink in control? Do you have any idea how Dev and Vicky had to pull you up here? And Vicky was himself not well”
Maan finished the whole glass and shook his head “You love bringing me in guilt”
“Don’t expect me to be a typical television Bahbhi… Maan ji” She teased.
“How do you even know how television Bhabhis are?” Then he smiled with smirk
“At least you must be a typical wife to Bhai. You know what I mean” he winked
“Maa-aan” she picked a light flower vase to throw at him. He ran to the washroom
“Whole family is gathered in the main hall, waiting for you. Be fast!!” she shouted and left
Naintara reached the main hall and Dev went beside her “What took you so long”
“Your brother. As usual, he was flirting with your wife.” She informed, Dev shook his head
“You two, can’t stop your Tom and Jerry game even in this situation.” he cribbed
“No. I am waiting to see his face today” Dev shook his head. Naintara ignored.
Maan got freshened up and dressed up in much more decent dressing than usual. He knew he was definitely in for the blast, at least he can reduce the reason.
“But why is Dad waiting to talk, especially with me?” he wondered and reached the main hall.
He quietly went and took the safest position behind the sofa, where Dadima was seated.
“Come and take a proper seat” came from Raj. He quietly went and sat beside his Dadima
“So tomorrow again you were stuck in business meetings” taunted Raj
“We had a success party”
“Wow!!! What a happening career you have. Most weekends either you are flying abroad or you have a success party. Insab ke baad kuch bachta bhi hai. Home is just a shelter for you and family members are your unpain servants”
Maan stayed mum. He was in a very bad position, not knowing why he needed to be talked so much today.
“Raj” Savitri brought him to focus on real matters. “Hmm” said Raj, remembering the reason. He looked again at Maan.
“Maan, now it is time for you to get settled in family life. And we are taking the first step towards it today.”
Maan got this unexpected shock. He had thought of innumerable things but not this one. He looked at his Mom and then around everyone
“Looking at everyone will not help. You can keep playing with your career as long as you wish but now it is time you settle at least on that front”
“Dad I am not..”
“I am not done yet Maan. You know I don’t like interruption”
He looked at Naintara “Your capable Bhabhi has selected a girl for you.” Maan looked at Naintara shocked. She gave a winning wink at him.
“She thinks the girl is perfect for you and we have seen her pictures and video and we all are very impressed by her”
“I am not ready for it yet Dad. As of now, I have other concern to look at”
“I am not asking you. I am telling you. Today we are going to meet that girl and her family. You are coming as well.”
“No, no way” Maan got up
“Maan, be seated. Or have you even lost that basic mannerism?” said his Dad with stern voice
He sat down “Maan listen beta. You can see her photos and videos. She will be perfect.”
“No Mom, I am not going to see her cause I am not interested. All who are interested can go and waste their time.”
“Maan, you didn’t listen to us in your career, now you are not listening again. See all of you, you can keep pampering his wishes, I am done with him. Get ready everyone, we are going to see the girl. We have given our words to them, and we can't insult them this way.”
Raj left from there with his announcement.
Maan looked at his Mom, she turned her face in anger. He went and held her shoulders
“Mom” “Leave Maan, you do whatever you wish. You do not trust your family. We have no rights on you. You have really hurt us today.”
“Mom, don’t you know all girls in this circle will eventually say no to me. Even if I say yes, they will reject me”
“Why will anyone reject you, Maan. Just because Nikita did. No. And this is not from our circle. She stays with her Uncle and Aunt. She is an orphan”
“Ohh… okay, I got it. She is an orphan, so a safe zone of no rejection”
Naintara came in front “Why Maan, she is an orphan so she cannot reject. Why? Her being an orphan, lessens her worth?”
“I didn’t mean that, Bhabhs, you know. Anyways, I am not interested. Whatever you all have to do, I don’t care.”
“Okay, you stay at home we are all going to see her”
“All? Whole family??” Maan shook his head.
Everyone left and Maan’s eye met with Naintara, who had caused all this problem. She was standing beside her husband, smiling at him.
He neared and intently looked at her “You Bhabhs”
Naintara smiled and sang “Is pyar se meri taraf na dekhoooo, pyar ho jaye ga, pyar ho jayega” she held his cheeks in her hand and turned his face left and right playfully laughing at her win.
Maan looked at Dev “Bhai, handle your wife. See how she is flirting in front of you” Dev shook his head “Naina come, let’s get ready”
Later,Vicky came to Maan’s room “Bhai you are really not coming?”
“No I am not. I better binge watch something interesting when all are gone.”
“Bhai, she is really very pretty. Dil aa jayega aapka” Maan gave him a fake smile
“Fine if you are so interested, I can let Meera know, Vicky has changed his choice”
“Bhai, you will like her”
“Byeee.. I am going for my jog” And Maan left the room.
“You were a bit hard on Maan, Raj” scolded Savitri Devi on their way to Handas.
“Yes, why not. I am a villain but this villain of his life needs to keep his life on track. Did everyone’s love showering work?”
“But talking softly can also work”
“When? Does he have time? Either he has late night…”
“Okay Okay fine.” Stopped Sandhya
“Bas Bas Sheela, I just want to keep it simple. What’s the use? Anyways they will say no or I will say no.”
“Let it be Sheela. She is naturally beautiful. Hope her beauty at least get this one fixed” Said her Aunt and left
Geet looked at Sheela “You know, I really want this one to be a good family. Even if the family is nice, I will say yes. At least I will have a nice family to love.” Geet was so irked with her Aunt never trying to get her alliance fix for her. Either to get rid of her or for their benefit
“And what about your dream boy” “Hmmm… sometimes I feel, I just want to get out of here.”
The doorbell rang. Her Aunt and Uncle welcomed the Khurana’s. Whole family kept entering one by one and Geet’s Aunt's worry of serving so many just increased.
She was cribbing in the kitchen
“Why, the whole family have to come to see her?.. I am a servant here”
“Why are you cribbing Nanda? It is always nice to keep good relations with these influential people. Just pray this alliance work”
Sheela peeped and took the report
“Geet, it’s a big family. They look very happy and cordial with each other “
“Hmmmm” Geet did not comment. She definitely wanted to have a big family but so many people will have so many views. They for sure have come to say No.
Nanda and her husband Sudhir were welcoming the Khuranas.
“Titu, go call Geet Didi,” said Nanda. Lovingly.
Geet came out of her room with Sheela. Geet’s eyes went on the guests. They were smiling warmly at her, and she returned the smile to them.
They were mesmerized by her beauty, such simplicity yet there was a spark in her.
She was so simple in her ways that modern boys, who run after dressings may not fall for her at first glance but they as elders and mature saw beyond her dressing. She has unique beauty and charm.
“Come sit beside me” Sandhay patted the seat beside her. The warmth in her voice gave goosebumps to Geet. She settled where directed.
Sandhya held her chin and lifted her face “so pretty”. Ohh her heart was floating at the thought of Geet being Maan's wife.
“Geet, Hi I am Naintara. I found out about you. I saw you and thought you will be best for my brother in law”
“Hi,” Geet nodded. Raj looked at Nanda and Sudhir
“Can we take Geet in the garden and talk to her.”
“We just want to genuinely know what Geet wants.” added Savitri Devi
Geet was surprised by the humbleness of the whole family. They wanted to talk to her, know her views before their own.
Nanda and Sudhir smiled and let them go with Geet.
They were all seated on the bench and chairs pulled from the house in the small backyard. Geet’s Auncle and Aunt had to stay inside but Sheela accompanied Geet
“Okay let us first tell you about our family and our son for whom we are here” Said Savitri Devi
“Geet we know enough about you to like you for our son. I don’t know if he is okay for you or not” said Raj
“Ok Geet beta, tell us, are you ready for marriage” diverted Sandhya
Geet nodded “Yes…But”
“What’s the matter?” asked Savitri Devi. Sandhay was lost in soft and beautiful Geet. Imagining her for her Maan.
“I want to know him before I say anything… I mean if I get that option”
Everyone here, unlike other families, liked her putting up her wish.
“Geet, I think you both will be perfect for each other.” Said Naintara.
“Let me introduce you to all of us. I already introduced myself. This is Dev, my husband and elder brother of the groom.” and then the rest all introduced themself.
“We know you have been missing the real feel of family and that is why we all are here to make you feel that if you come to our family, you are going to be loved by these many people along with you unnhnn unnhhnn” Naintara teased
“Uska hee pata nahi” Raj spoke between his breath which Sandhya heard. “Bas” she murmured.
“Yes, and you will also get young and handsome Devar - Bro In Law” added Vicky
Geet smiled, feeling jittery in her belly. No one has showered this much love to her as family. This family looked like a dream. Will she really have such a lovely family? Can this be her luck? But then why was the boy for whom they have come not here. Was there any issue with him? Maybe, or else why will anyone shower this much love to her
“We said a lot, now you say beta” said Sandhya
“You all are a very sweet family, the family that any girl will dream of but ..”
“But, what dear?”
“Why is he not here? I would have..” she did not know how to say so openly. She would have liked to meet the boy himself.
“Ohh he was working late night yesterday so we thought let us meet you and then you both can meet later” Said Naintara.
Raj did not like Naintara saving Maan. Why did all the ladies of the family showering useless favors to him? But Geet, if she agrees to this relation, will be his favorite, he had already decided.
“Geet beta, that is partially not true. He is not yet ready for marriage but he will be. We will not rush anything. Only after you both say okay, will this marriage proceed.” Raj cleared. Not liking the idea to lie to the sweet girl.
“What is your idea” He asked further
“Uncle, I have an idea of falling in love. I want to give myself chance to fall in love”
“So you have not fallen in love yet?”
“I have not met anyone to make me feel like that. I like your family and it will be a dream family for me but still I want to take one last chance”
Everyone smiled at her genuine answer of her dream. She was an orphan but young, she had equal rights to dream. She was so young but so sorted in what she wanted. Raj admired this part of her. They knew now, this girl can make Maan fall into love.
“Okay beta let’s do one thing, let's take the time of six months. In six months irrespective of you find anyone or not, you meet my son, talk to him and decide if you are okay with him or not”
“Are you sure?” Geet was surprised by the thought of family. Ohh how she wishes she was sure and this family could be hers
“What if he says no.” She clarified
“If after six months, you say yes, he will say yes. That is my word to you.” declared Raj
They got up and this time Geet hugged Naintara and touched Sandhya, Raj and Savitri devi’s feet with respect. Dev and Vicky said their Bye to her
