Part 9
Geet's mid-term result was out; she had B's in most and C in economics. She gave party to her friends. Mama was happy as well and said see it is not difficult if you concentrate a bit more on your studies you will get even better grades. She started hinting about the university she wanted me to join.
Maan said congratulation and gave her wrist watch. This was the first time he gave anything to her. Geet was on cloud nine. He was really friendly, even asked about the party she gave to her friends asking who was invited and teased her about not inviting him.

Maan packed his bag for the Dubai and reconfirmed the tickets. Then, he went to take a bath and get ready. Dadima came to Maan's room, she wanted to ask him something but he was not in his room.
Savitari devi, now where did he went? Simran said he is in his room, she was about go out when someone's phone rang, she saw it was maan's phone. She went and picked it up, the caller id flashed SAMEERA. She received the call.
Sameera, Maan i am going out for the photo-shoot, when you come to the hotel, receptionist will give you the key to my room. See you later, bye.
Savitari Devi quietly put the phone down and went in search of Raj.
.............................................................................................................................
Maan was about to go out, when nakul said that Dad was calling him, he went to the study where dad worked when he was at home. He was talking to someone on the phone, he gestured Maan toward a chair. Maan sat and waited.
Raj switched off the mobile phone and said i am sorry Maan, you will have to cancel your vacation plans, there is an emergency, the consignment that was supposed to be dispatched today, it was not dispatched due to some labour issues.
Maan, what but Adi should have called me? Raj, ahh he went on three days leave today, i approved it, So, Suresh called me.
Maan, okay i will go and see what is wrong. Raj waited until Maan was gone, then, he called his manager and said make sure that this problem does not resolve quickly, dispatch the consignment but create some other issue, keep maan busy.
He went to ma's room and said he is not going. Savitari Devi, Raj this solved the problem temporarily; i do not him to get hurt again. Raj, you know how Maan is ma, we have to handle this carefully, he does not like anyone prying in his private life. I am thinking making him the MD of Khaurana group of industries that should keep him busy. Savitari Devi, do whatever you need to do Raj but i do not want another girl like akasha in his life, He is already too cynic for his age.

Valentine day
...............................................................................
Geet was getting ready for college, when her mobile phone rang, it was Vicky, hi geet, i have a favour to ask. Geet, ask away, there is no need to be formal Vicky.
Vicky, its valentine day today and i want to surprise Fari, so can you get her to hotel****** to room *****. Please, for your jiju do it. Geet, okay i will be at hotel around eleven, are you fine with timings. Vicky, yeah it is perfect.
Nakul who was outside geet's door, went and told Maan everything as Maan has instructed him to do.
.................................................................................
Vicky had called Pooja and iqra as well. Fari was sitting gloomily in cafeteria, Pooja, what happened? You are very quiet today? Fari, nothing, she sounded like she was about to cry. Iqra, come on Fari, do not lie, tell us what is wrong? Fari sniffed and said this is the first time Vicky did not called me on Valentine day, he always call at midnight. Geet, but it is still ten thirty in the morning, he will probably call you later. Fari remained quiet. Iqra nudged her. Fari i was the one who proposed him when we were in sixth grade, he accepted my flower and said this is the first and last time, after this, i will be the one to do it every valentine.
All of them fell silent. Geet, okay enough of this gloomy mood, come on we are going to hotel ******, it is my treat.
............................................................................................
When they got there, geet said, Fari i think i just saw Vicky. Fari, what? Where? Geet, he is getting in that lift. They went to the lift but car has already has started moving. They went to other lift, Pooja pressed the third floor button. On reaching there, they went out, they went down the corridor just as room no ***** door closed.
Geet was about to knock the door, when Fari just opened the door and barged in. Red petals started falling on her, and Vicky hugged her and loudly said, i love you, happy valentine day.
Pooja quietly closed the door and three of them went toward the lift.
