Geet was nervous & continuously talking with her friend Ridhz & Armaan on a conference call.  They were more of teasing her. Pulling her leg,
armaan - how can u have arrange marriages?
Ridz - that so cute & different
Geet - amy yaar I am already very nervous
armaan - I will still tell u to back off.. rahul is not that bad u know
Geet - yuck!! rahul
armaan - wat about Sid??..woh new intern
Geet - he is too cute..I want some one more macho..not boyish types
ridz - well the best is taken already
armaan blushed
Geet - ridz seriously if u plan to drop out let me know.
Armaan - u didn't tell me u liked me
ridz rolled her eyes so did Geet
they laughed ..geet was feeling little better lost in her talks.

Maan was in the car with Anuraag is childhood friend & Daadi. Maan was still on the call with adhi discussing the new take over. He shielded his nervousness getting over involved in the job. The car stopped in front of handa hawali.
Daadi - challo Maan
Maan - ek min Daadi
anuraag snatched the phone & switched it off.
Maan - annu yaar plz.
Annu - relax Maan
Maan took a deep breath & checked himself once in the mirror before they walked towards the hawali.
Brij, papaji were already there to welcome them.
Papaji - ghar doont ne main takleef to nahi huwai
Maan - nahi uncle
they escorted them to the living room. All of them got introduced & had a small exchange of views before Geet actually walked in wearing a simple suit & holding a tray. She was so nervous when she came in front of Maan. He was more looking at her than focusing at the cup he was lifting. She was looking at his hand that was not able to reach the cup since he was actually not concentrating on the task he was doing. She smiled more of a giggle. Made him bit conscious. He immediately looked away & reached to the coffee cup.

Then a silence followed. She quickly recollected her questions
do u smoke? She asked abruptly
he smiled no
do u drink?
Occasionally
how occasionally
not sure depends
like weekly or monthly or yearly(that was typical dr question )
he looked at her blankly & she also felt that was way too much
do u have a past..not that I mind but I think I have the right to know.. (she doesnt mind..ha ha..she may just burn off .. & offcourse refuse to marry..but still she had to say that)
no
cool..waisen for ur information I had a crush when I was in 10th & one when I was in college, but it was only a one sided crush thats it
I really don't carehe said causally
she was taken a back, how can he not care. But then her next question
wat r u hobbies
traveling

Before they went back to the hall he asked for her number
kyun she blindly asked
he felt little odd then countered in case of emergency I can call u
wat emergency she wondered, she was thinking it all in romantic ways..like he may feel desperate to talk to her, miss her etc etc etc !!!
tum dr hona? He asked teasingly
reality stuck!!! he meant dr wala emergency.. she felt embarrassed with her own thoughts going so different.

The families jelled & it was a yes from both Maan & Geet as well. The engagement was fixed for next good day that was after 6days.
