PART 47
The whole lawn was decorated with Gold and white curtains and artificial flowers in gold. Lights bejeweled the whole area. It was looking awesome and proved once again how well dev and Nt arranged parties. Nt moved in her flowing black gown across the place. Dev NT and daadi had reached the venue in advance. Maan was also there on time. They had asked geet to be there on the time of the party due to her weakness. Maan did nt want to strain her into standing for long hours as she was still recovering.
Maan was dressed in formal black bandgala and always had his killer looks.
Daadi went for a dull creamish gold sari pertaining to the theme of dress code as gold and black.
The party was catching its speed. Drinks and food were flowing in full speed. Nt had managed the caterers well and it was turning out to be splendid party. guests were the elite of the town and business associates from various fields. Relatives also managed some place in the who is who of the town. To add all the office staff were also invited.
~.~.~
Geet overslept and hurried thru her dressing and makeup, she wanted to look perfect. The drive to the farmhouse took another hour. Her bodyguard escorted her upto the party and then told her that he will be waiting for her outside as the party had top security.
Geet was hesitant entering the party, she had never been to party so grand and upscale. She was nervous entering and her eyes searched for daadi. As she entered she drew attention of many. Men admired her and women felt an instant pang of jealousy. She was dressed simply yet elegantly and had a charm which none matched in the party.
She wore a rusted gold, say copper coloured sari with simple rusted gold earrings. The blouse had small sleeves so as to cover her bandage on the upper arm with thin strip behind. Makeup was subtle and enhanced her beauty not overpowered it. A watch was all in the name of accessories. She had straightened her hair and let it loose. She left e sigh gathered all her energy gave a boost to her self-confidence and walked straight into the party with a poise of her own.
She was more an object of admiration as girls her age were draped in fancy western dresses and ladies who were in saari cud hardly give her any competition. Her beautiful figure was enhanced by the sari and she looked Gorgeous.
She wandered thru the party looking for daadi when she located maan. She walked towards him but was a little hesitant seeing a bunch of men around him. Soon a lady in skimpy black dress walked to him and led him to meet some new people. He didn't see her. She backed off, right then NT and dev approached her and asked her to come with them as they wud introduce them to their friends. Geet excused on the pretext of catching up with them after she met daadi. Soon she found daadi too.
Geet aap thik hai? Late ho gayi?
Thora sa daadi.
Koi nahi mujhe aaj apko bhut logo se introduce karwana hai. All my friends.
Someone interrupted and daadi promised to be back soon.
Geet slowly walked thru the crowd when someone poked her shoulder.
Hey beautiful. Looking like a diva.
Aapne mujhe dara diya. Im no diva' ok. She mocked with a smile playing on her lips.
Diva is less a word to describe u today. Every man has his eyes set upon u. of course sparing who r not interested in women.
They both laughed.
Karan aap hamesha kuch naya karte ho. Waise aap bhi bhut smart lag rahe ho.
Haan. She tried to show him who the saru was but cudnt locate him then.
They chatted and laughed. Geet got to be herself with Karan. Everyone was J of Karan and assumed that she was with him. Karan also went ahead introducing her as geet. He never knew she was Mrs. MSK. The host herself. Yash had skipped the party assuming it to be boring and behave urself party as he called it. Karan was not very party types so both took a peaceful corner and chatted on all nonsense'woman showing off, the girls'who looked good and who ugly. He made her recognize many men from the business world and their business types and personalities.
~.~.~
Mr. Jai malhotra or JM as he was fondly called in the business world was having a talk on some upcoming tender with Maan and a few others when Mrs Taneja interuppted them.
JM I see finally ur boy has found a girl for himself. The shy boy has a girlfriend? Who is that beautiful girl with Karan?
All the eyes instantly moved to karan. Everyone admired the girl. Maan was taken aback. He was about to retort when JM did the honors.
Sorry Mrs Taneja. I have nothing for ur gossip mills. The girl is simple and is just not involved with Karan. They r good friends. So it wud be better if u let the issue rest. If there was anything u wud have attended their wedding by now.
Maan knew Karan was no Casanova. He was rarely seen talking to girls leave apart flirting. But how did he know geet was the question.
But she is very beautiful' the whole party is admiring her. Mrs Taneja commented before she was shooed away by JM's comments.
They again started to talk but maan was distracted. His eyes were focused on geet. He saw how easy she was with Karan. She was smiling and giggling, enjoying herself in his company. Maan had never seen her so comfortable and happy in parties and with strangers around her. Sometimes she was lost in the crowd but his eyes wud locate her again. He wanted her to be on his side holding his hand. He tried many times to approach her and talk to her but whenever he tried he was stopped by one or the other guests. He wud wrap the talk hurriedly and by the time he wud excuse himself geet wud have moved away. He was getting frustrated at the crowd which was barring him from approaching her.
Karan was involved in talking about some business deals so geet excused herself. She saw a plump girl fumbling in picking up the snacks. She held a glass of fruit juice in one hand and had her other hand filled previously snacks and wished to take more.
Can I help u?
The girl gave a sheepish smile. Actually I love chicken tikka and I already took some paneer kababs. She showed her hand.
Geet took the glass from her. I will hold this for u till u finish that. Waise I too like chicken tikka. She picked one for herself.
The waiter left.
Hi! I m pinky.
Yahan to log khate hi nahi. Itna kuch hai khane ko par yu birds ki tarah uthate hai. Geet giggled.
Humare punjab mein to party ho aur logo ne khaya nahi to kiya kya?
Tum punjab se ho? Mein bhi chal tab to humari khub banegi.
A beautiful girl appeared from the crowd.
Yaar pinky mein is sasha ka to khoon kar dungi. She was disappointed for something.
Tu fir DD k paas gayi thi? Kyu jaati hai jab vo vahan hai.
DD?
Ye pari hai abhi humare office join kiya hai. Hum DD k paas kaam karte hai. I mean MAAN SINGH KHURANA k office mein. Aur pari ye hai meri nayi friend geet.
Ok par DD??
DD is dhak dhak' yaar office ki saari larki MSK pe marti hai. Unko dekhte hi dil dhak dhak jo karta hai. Isiliya DD. She smiled before pushing another kebab in her mouth.
Par mere liye to DD is Dreamy Darling' vo dreams jaisa hai. So dreamy. Vo to mujhe daatne k liy bhi bulate hai to mein fida ho jaati hu. Par ye saasha churail. Dekho kaise lataki hui hai kisiko unke paas jaane bhi nahi de rahi hai.
Geet saw she was the same girl who had been hanging on to Maan since the beginning.
Ye saasha kaun hai? Vo jo apne size se chote kapre peheni hai?
Both giggled.
Architect par yahan k office mein usse kafi extra charges bhi diye hai MSK ne. vo kisiko MSK ke paas jaane nahi deti. Saari sundar larki ko galat instruction de k sir se daat khilati hai. Complex hai.
Tumhare Sir ko vo pasand hogi. Shayad isiliye? This was the best way to inquire about maan when the girls didn't recognise her.
Nahi both the girls said in unison. MSK ko larkiya bilkul pasand nahi aur vo professional aur personal life mix nahi karte. Tabhi to abhi tak delhi mein most eligible bachelor hain. Dekho saari ladies unko apna future son in law nahi to husband banana chahti hai.
The words bachelor stung geet's heart. So the office staff also doesn't know about the marriage.
There was no celebration after marriage, geet never visited the office. Office staff had strict instruction not to come home untill Maan himself asks them to and any personal talk was not allowed in office so none of the family member visiting office had dared talk about his marriage.
Adi came and interrupted their talk. He was introduced to geet. They all talked about the party and then geet excused herself when she saw Karan coming up to her.
Sorry kept u waiting.
Soon JM and Ruku aunty joined them. Maan saw the family encroaching geet and this time he did manage to reach geet. JM acknowledged Maan's presence.
Ruku (karan's mom) ' so geet bete how r u? heard u got hurt?
Yeah. I'm fine now.
JM ' how was ur CAT?
Very nice.
So they know her well. Maan thought.
What r ur future plans?
Abhi to MBA and then may be job. She looked towards Maan. He was admiring her and just wasn't registering the talk. All he wanted to do was take her in his arms.
What about settling? Shadi?
Geet again looked at maan for an answer. Her pained eyes broke his dreaming session but he didn't know what the conversation was. Hiss eyes questioned as to what happened? Unaware of his confusion geet just walked away saying' I will join u all later. I have to meet someone.
Ma y did u do this? How many times I have told u dnt talk about this to her. she is my friend.
But I like her. want her to be my bahu whats wrong with this?i cant understand u all.
Ma she wont talk to me now. Look she had not eaten anything. I had to help her to eat. with her wounded arm she wont be able to hold the plate for herself. I have to find her and never ask about shadi to her.
Karan hurried in the direction geet left. Maan too excused himself and went in the same direction to find geet.
#Hw dare someone talks of marrying geet. She is mine.# maan frantically searched for geet. He cudnt even find Karan.
Whole drama took place in just 1 hour of geet's arrival. She was lost the way she had appeared from nowhere in the party. many men's eyes searched for the beauty but Maan's eyes were most anxious and worried. He cudnt leave the party, her phone was switched off and Karan was missing too. Everything was killing him deep within. He approached daadi and enquired about geet.
I called her beta to introduce her to my friends. I wanted to surprise all with my bahu. But she said she is not feeling well and is going. She sounded weak. Now I want to know if she is fine then her phone is switched off.
Ok daadi she will have sandeep to escort her. he assured daadi but was not at peace himself.
He stayed at the party, he had to. Daadi left after sometime but Dev and NT stayed to see the last guests leave.
When he approached his car to sit then he was surrounded by media person. He was irritated and didn't want to talk so he approached to sit in his car. For a surprise first time instead of opening the door his driver stood infront of it and sandeep joined him too. They without a word stood in front of the door with their heads bend not allowing maan to enter his own car. His anger was on peak now he waited for his body gaurds to shoo away the media persons. He turned and before he cud bash them both of them moved away from the door.
