Chapter Nineteen
(Excuse Me?)
(Excuse Me?)
" Papaaa" said Anjali looking a little guilty. Maan looked at her questioningly, " Anjali... what were you doing around here... aren't you suppose to be in your tent?". Anjali looked around and said, " Woh um papa.. main um woh kuch..ko diya tha... and I was trying to find it.. my bracelet.. ". Maan looked very suspicious but he shrugged it off, " Anji.. us bracelet ko choro.. Ill get you a new one.. and I need to see you settled properly in your tent and then I'll leave..". Anjali looked at him with wide eyes, " Pappa!? you're leaving? why?".
" No no Anjali im going to be in Pune and Im going to be dropping by very often to see you... Im just going to go to dadimaa and im going to be staying in the same hotel.." said Maan as he got out his blackberry and was about to check it.. Anjali tugged on his shirt, " Papaa... stay na.. for a few more hours and then go to the hotel..". He looked at her and she looked at him with pleading eyes. He couldn't say no to those eyes... and he nodded, " Okay Anjali.." Anjali smiled, " Oh papa! I love you..." She hugged him hard and then she quickly ran off towards her tent. He laughed a little and then went back to strolling around.. checking on his emails..
He was so caught up in doing that for a couple of minutes that he accidently bumped into Geet. She was about to fall until he dropped his phone and caught her... He looked straight into her hazel eyes and she stared right back at his chocolate brown ones. She snapped out of it and looked around awkwardly and all the kids had stopped to look. Some were giggling and Maan quickly helped her regain her balance and he said, " Geet... its a camp.. are you sure you should be wearing that?". Geet looked at him questioningly, " What's wrong with my clothes Maan?".
" Oh I don't know... its an anarkali.. and its white.. there's mud all over the place.... and its a camp.. why are you wearing that.. it doesn't suit to the environment". She laughed, " Maan... we are not in the wilderness and btw this is a park and a cottage is located RIGHT there... and I don't have to do much either... its my volunteers and my head staff handling most of it.. and btw Maan.. you aren't wearing "camp" friendly clothes either..."He looked ather... she had a point, " Geet... I just got here.. I didn't know.." said Maan.
Geet laughed, " Which is why Mr. Khurana... you should look at yourself before you start looking at others.." Those words hit Maan straight in the heart and he took it a little offensively, " What do you mean Geet?". She saw him getting irriated and she went on, " Maan.. if me wearing an anarkali or sari was that bad... I would've never worn it...". " Geet... are you sure it isn't hard for you to walk in that or even breath in that..? I mean you could hardly manage jeans the last time I saw you" smirked Maan. Geet squinted her eyes in anger, " Excuse me? It doesn't mean that im incapable of doing anything..." Maan laughed... " If you say so!". She got a little angry, " Fine Mr. Khurana...".
Suddenly, from the other side Geet and Maan heard kids arguing and fighting. They stopped their arguement and looked over to see a big group of kids cheering two other kids in the middle! The girls were chanting Anjali and the boys were chanting Arush! Geet got a little worried and she quickly ran towards the big group and Maan ran after her..
Geet went into the middle of the crowd and saw Anjali almost beating the crap out of the guy. She was punching him in the guts and face. Maan came in beside Geet and he looked at Anjali. She was seriously beating him up... she looked so angry. Maan quickly came in the middle of the fight and dragged Anjali away and Geet went in and helped Arush up... Maan looked at Anjali who was so angry. Her eyes got red and wide when she was soooo angry! " GEETANJALI SINGH KHURANA... WHAT WERE YOU DOING FIGHTING?" saiid Maan loudly.
" PAPPAAA LET ME BEAT HIM UP... HE THINKS GIRLS ARE WEAK.. AND THEY CAN'T PLAY BASKETBALL... STUPID LOSER ARUSH I HATE YOUUU!!" yelled Anjali as she tried to get out of her fathers hold to beat Arush up even more. "EHHH LOSER KISKO BOLA?... LADKIYAAN BASKETBALL NAHI KHEL SAKTI... TUM LADKIYAAN BUS ZINDAGII BHAR STUPID HI RAHOGI.. .." said Arush sticking his tongue out. Anjali was FURIOUS and Geet saw her getting so angry... " ARUSH SHARMA! BE QUIET THIS INSTANT...THAT WAS NOT NICE..." said Geet loudly.
Maan looked towards Geet and suddenly said, " Arush is right.." . Geet turned around to face him with one eye brow up, " Excuse me?". Anjali calmed down a bit and Maan put her down and she stood there with her arms crossed... " No seriously... Arush theek keh raha hai.. " said Maan so calmly. He smirked and Geet got so angry. She pulled Arush behind her and Maan pulled Anjali behind him... She came upto his face and said, " Ladkiyaan basketball khel sakti hain..."
" noooo they can't Handa.." said Maan smirking. He was testing her patience... he wanted to see the old Geet back. " Kaun basketball main cheat karthata..?" said Geet in the most calmest tone she could fine. Maan looked around, " You?"." And kids... your Geet maam use to lose every match in the morning.." said Maan smirking." Excuse me!you cheated half the time!... you only won by cheating!!" said Geet in a angry tone. He laughed, " Fine Handa.. its a challenge...you and I... basketball match.. tomorrow..." She rolled her eyes, " Be prepared to lose Khurana..." " We'll see about that ... until then.. take care of your sari and anarkali maam.." winked Maan as he took Anjali's hand and walked away. Geet opened her mouth in shock! " Excuse me!? thats it Khurana.. you're going down.."
All the kids were giggling...and Geet turned around, " Go back to your tents and the volunteers will tell you of your task of today and then its dinner...". The kids stopped giggling and went away into their own tents..
Geet stormed off into her house... she got in and went straight to her room... She sat on her bed and took a deep breath... " What does he think he is?". She laid on her bed for a while playing with her necklace and she finally calmed down.. it was almost dinner time... She changed into a different anarkali that was red in color and tied her hair in a side pony tail... she put on her sandles and head out the door... She approached the picnic tables that had huge lights around them and kids giggling and eating... She approached every table, asking if anyone needed anything. She was finally calm and she approached Anjali's table and found Maan sitting beside her and eating.
She looked at him and squinted her eyes and she looked towards Anjali. There was a space empty beside her and she sat down beside her. Anjali looked at Geet who was glaring at Maan with angry eyes. He only laughed, " Anjali.. tell Geet that she looks better in an anarkali.. especially in a red one..". Geet stopped for a second and tried not to smile, and she said, " Anjali.. tell your papa that I appreciate his comment... but I like sari's better". Anjali faked irriation with the two, " You two are just kids!... ". She rolled her eyes and continued eating. Geet laughed..." I think she's right Maan... we are acting like kids.. waisay aapko kuch chahiye kya?". Maan looked at her... jokes aside she looked so pretty... the anarkali definitely suited her figure... she looked so nice...
That evening was over and Maan had said bye to Anjali and promised he would come back tomorrow... he left and Anjali as usual updated Dadimaa of everything. All dadimaa could do is giggle.. " Ohhh I senseee loveeeeeeeeee..." " Dadimaa.. they act like total strangers one minute and then they act like their old selves one second.. kya karun.. i feel like im stuck in between two kids!". " Bete... you haven't seen it all yet... anyways acha so jao bete... its late... bye beta!" said Dadimaa. Anjali yawned and put down the phone.
I hope you liked it!!! Enjoy and comment
