Part – 23
Next day….
Maan has found out that there is a vacant apartment at Geet’s building, in the same floor, right opposite to Geet’s flat…
Its not any magic working, it’s all Maan’s work only…
Maan has worked hard to get it vacated in the first place…
Maan is really lucky, for the man who was living in that flat readily took the money from Maan and moved out of that house within a week, making a deal with Maan, he is a perfect gentleman…
Maan has to shift to the apartment soon…
Maan gets a call from the apartment manager to come and look at the flat once while it’s all painted and given a new look as per Maan’s request…
Maan is eagerly waiting to go, he wants to get a glimpse of his son somehow…
Maan goes to Geet’s building…
Maan already feels that he is close to his family, his son….
It will be more convenient for Maan to find out about his son from here…
Geet must have hidden the boy in some friend’s place, she will have to bring him home soon..
Maan has this information that the boy is still going to that nearby school and he is not old enough to be put in the hostel..
Geet is not that kind of a mother either…
That much Maan knows ..
Maan has come late and the workers have left…
The apartment is locked….
Maan calls the manager to get the keys…
The manager has given them to Geet who is the neighbour…
Geet thought that someone new is coming as their neighbour…
The man who was there was a nuisance often picking up a fight with everyone for no reason at all...
Geet is happy that he left… but she doesn’t know that there is going to be double the trouble now with Maan as her neighbour… .
Maan knocks…
Geet recognizes that annoying sound…
Geet comes to open angrily…
What does he want now?
Geet: the boy is not with me, don’t you understand that, and you know very well that I am never going to let my boy see you
Maan: who are you to stop me from seeing my boy? I am not going anywhere until I get my son back
Geet is shocked… what’s his plan? Stay here and revolt?
Maan is a gentleman, he won’t stay at a place where he doesn’t belong…
He just wants to take back what belongs to him….
Geet: are you kidding me? Get out of my house right now, or I will have to call the police
Maan: call them, let them help me get my boy first
Geet: I am not scared of anyone, let them come and take action , how dare you step into my house forcefully?
Maan: Geet, I am not in your house
Maan is still standing outside the door only…
Geet: stand wherever you want, but don’t disturb me
Geet tries to close the door, Maan stops her ….
Maan: stop Geet, I want the keys
Geet is puzzled…
Geet: what keys? What are you talking about?
Maan: the keys to my apartment
Geet: what?
Maan: yes, the one that the manager gave you
Geet can’t believe it…
Maan is going to come here? That too the one right next to her’s….
No… he can’t … never…
Geet: you can’t come to this apartment
Maan: why not?
Geet: I will call the manager, how can he do this? It’s a residential apartment where families live, he can’t allow anyone inside the building
Maan: what? I am not anyone, I am also a family man
Geet: you don’t deserve a family, you can’t stay here amongst peaceful living families, that’s dangerous
Maan: I am not a child kidnapper like you Geet, you are a danger and not me
Geet: halo, manager sir, who is this guy? How could you give the house to some stranger? Ask him to go, you can’t let him inside our building
Manager: ma’am, he is very close to our building owner Mr.Shivakumar sir, he has come with very strong recommendation, I can’t do anything ma’am, give him his keys
Maan’s acquaintance with Vicky is working, that’s why Maan is happy to help Vicky in whatever matters he could…
Geet is helpless….
Maan: what happened Geet?
Maan is mocking her as he has won ….
Maan likes it .. this is the first step, slowly he will cross all the hurdles and get to his son…
Geet: don’t think you have won, you can fool the world but not me
Maan: the keys Geet
Geet gets the keys and throws them .. .
Maan happily catches them…
Maan looks around his apartment… .
Its all ready, he can shift here in a couple of days…
Maan knows that he is very close to his son, he is already feeling like a father…
It’s just a matter of few days before his son comes to him and plays with him in this very same place…
Maan should get some toys for his son to play with when he comes…
Maan goes out to get them…
Maan goes to the mall and gets a cricket set, a basketball and a football..
Maan can’t wait to play with his son….
Maan is happy for he is going to stay near his son…
At the office…
Maan starts to think like the MSK…
Reverse psychology…
Vicky should ignore Shruthi for a change…
Vicky comes and sees Maan who is already in the office…
Maan: good morning Vicky
Vicky: we have to wait until we know of it’s really a good morning or not for me Maan
Maan: its going to be a very good morning Vicky, be positive
Vicky: one positive and one negative results in negative only
Maan: why do you think like that Vicky? Positive and negative work together, not alone
Vicky: I don’t know what I am going to do
Maan: but I know exactly what you should do
Vicky gets excited…
Vicky: shall I get a bouquet with a sorry card , or a “I Love You” message?
Maan: what’s the use when she already knows that you love her and you already know that she will never forgive you
Vicky: are you Maan or Shruthi? You too are always finding fault with me?
Maan: you should think like your enemy if you want to win against them
Vicky: yes, now you have successfully made Shruthi my enemy and you are getting me ready for a battle, whatever it is, you are having a good time Maan
Maan; do you know what your problem is?
Vicky: trusting you Maan
Maan: this, you talk too much man
Vicky: what do you want me to do then? Keep a mauna vrat?
Maan: exactly
Vicky: what?
Maan: you should neither talk to Shruthi nor give her any attention, you are going to ignore her totally
Vicky: that’s what she does
Maan: give her a taste of her own medicine
Vicky: are you sure this will work?
Maan: 100%
Yes, Maan knows that very well because he is experiencing that right now….
The more he has been ignored the more he is affected…
Vicky: you are going to be with me in this, haina Maan?
Maan: sure
Vicky: I believe you Maan, let’s do this together then
Maan: yes, let’s do this
The boys wait for Shruthi’s arrival….
Vicky: why hasn’t Shruthi come yet?
Maan: how would I know? She is your cousin, you should know better
Vicky: I will call and ask her
Maan snatches the phone…
Maan: what are you doing?
Vicky: what? I have to know why she is late
Maan: but you can’t talk to her
Vicky: then how will I know?
Maan: I will ask her
Vicky: do you have her number?
Maan: call her Vicky
Maan asks Vicky to call Shruthi from Vicky’s mobile itself…
Shruthi: halo, what’s it Vicky?
Maan: this is Maan Singh Khurana
Shruthi goes silent…
Maan; halo Shruthi
Shruthi: where’s Vicky?
Maan: do you know what time it is? Why haven’t you come to the office yet?
Shruthi: who are you to ask me?
Maan: I am Maan Singh Khurana, answer me
Shruthi: I am Vicky’s secretary, I am not answerable to any XYZ
Maan: oh no Miss.Shruthi, you are MSK’s secretary now if you remember
Shruthi: what nonsense?
Maan: Vicky made you my secretary Miss.Shruthi
Shruthi: Vickyyyyyyy
Shruthi shouts….
Maan: is this the way you yell at your boss Miss. Shruthi ?
Shruthi: I will talk to Vicky only
Maan; Vicky, Shruthi wants to talk to you only
Maan winks…. See , this is how it is done…
Vicky is happy…
Vicky: halo, Shruthi, tell me, what’s the matter?
Shruthi: don’t you know that I am on leave today
Vicky: what ? I don’t know, when did you tell me?
Shruthi: I am here at the shop Adi shopping with Sudha aunty, didn’t she tell you
Vicky: ohh yes, she did tell me, I totally forgot
Vicky forgot everything listening to MSK Guru’s gyaan, now nothing else matters to him except his Guru’s words…
Shruthi: now don’t let anyone disturb us again
Shruthi cuts the call….
Vicky: Shruthi
Maan: what happened?
Vicky: I forgot that Shruthi is going out with Amma today
Maan: what?
Another set back for MSK!!!
