Part 6
Someone rings the door bell. Geet stops laughing; turns toward the door and stares at it with fear.
GEET: hey babaji! has the pimp come here also?
Geet is too scared to open the door. the door bell keeps ringing. She gathers some courage and goes close to the door and asks
GEET: kaun hai?
No reply from outside
GEET: kaun hai wahan?
Voice: main hoon
Geet is relieved and opens the door. Jugnu mama is standing there
Geet: aap bhi na mamaji! why didn't you tell it is you?
Jug: oye puttar! Spies never disclose their identity
Geet rolls her eyes
Jugnu mama goes to his room and starts to pack his bag. Geet follows him to the room and she is confused to see mamaji packing
Geet: mamaji! are you going somewhere?
Jug: haan Geetu! Immediately I have to leave for Hoshiarpur
GEET: kyun?
Jug: A Hoshiarpur girl has eloped from her house to marry her Delhi boyfriend in Amritsar. Jugnu is going to investigate the case
As Geet didn't know that Lachi is from Hoshiarpur, she didn't realise mamaji is talking about Lachi.
Geet: but already she is in Amritsar na? then why should you go to Hoshiarpur?
Jug: putar! Every investigation should start from the root cause. Isliye main Hoshiarpur jaraha hun
Geet: but what will you do in Hoshiarpur while the girl is in Amritsar?
Jug: i will wait for her to come back from Amritsar
Geet: what if she never comes back?
Jug: i can't disclose my secret plan
Geet rolls her eyes
Jugnu mama has finished his packing
Jug: teek hai putar. Khayal rakhna. Main jar aha hun
Geet: when will you come back?
Jug; depends on when the eloped girl comes back to her home
Geet is scared to stay alone. She thinks that maan may come at any time. she tries to stop mamaji from going to Hoshiarpur
Geet: don't go mamaji...please...i am scared to be alone
Mamaji becomes emotional. He drops his bag on the floor
Jug: putar! You are not supposed to be scared of anything
Geet stares at mamaji
Jug: After all that happened in your life, you have become very brave and strong.. Hai na putar?
Geet gets emotional and tears gather in her eyes. she is lost in some thoughts
GEET: (st) no mamaji! i am not strong as mush as i seem to be. I am still the same geet who loved to be pampered by her parents. i am still the same geet who loved to live in the protective shell created by her parents. how come it was possible for them to leave me alone in this world? i miss them... i miss them a lot
Jugnu mama notices the sadness in geet's face and he understands what geet must be thinking
Jug: geetu...
Mamaji's voice braings Geet out of her chain of thoughts
Geen: haan mamaji
Jug: are you missing your parents?
Geen; hmmm
Jug; you only said na putar...you still feel your parents presence in each and every brick of this house... you feel their smile and love in each and every part of this house. hai na putar?
G; haan
Jug; they will always be with you geetu. tu ghabrayi math
GEET: hmmm
Mamaji didn't feel like leaving geet alone
Jug; putar! I don't want to leave...
Geet didn't want to spoil mamaji's mood. she tries to be normal and she fakes a smile
G: mamaji! main bilkul teek hu. it is getting late for you. aap jayiye
Jug; par beta...
GEET: mamaji! main Geet Handa hu...i can manage everything
Jug: i will come soon putar
Geet smiles at him
GEET: take care mamaji
Jug: haan putar
Mamaji leaves. Geet closes the door behind and starts to look around the house
GEET: maa...paaa...can you hear me?
She walks to a wall and leans against it and closes her eyes
GEET: you both promised na...you will always be with me. then why did you leave me alone? I miss you
Geet caresses the wall with her fingers and cries
GEET: can you feel your daughter's touch?
Tears roll down her cheeks
GEET: maa...paa...do you know what happened to me today?
Geet recalls whatever happened in the Distrcit Court
GEET: today, your daughter got married to a pimp...did you hear me...haan! a pimp married me and he is trying to kidnap me. He may come here at any moment. i don't know what to do. i am scared.
Geet slides along the wall and sits down on the floor; leans back on the wall and cries uncontrollably.
GEET: Maa...Paa...can you hear your little angel's cries?
Romeo (Geet's pet dog) comes to her and caresses her hand with his snout as if he wants to comfort her. Geet hugs Romeo and cries more.
On the other side...
Maan goes to the address mentioned in the marriage certificate. To his dimay maan finds out that it is not geet's address but the peon of the marriage office. the peon informs maan that chandu has given the peon's address as the bride's address. Maan is super duper angry on chandu
Maan: (st) chandu has faked the address also. Definitely he is having a hand in this marriage conspiracy. His crime rate keeps increasing. I will not leave that idiot
Maan thinks that the Peon must know the whereabouts of Chandu
MAAN: where is Chandu?
Peon: mujhe patha nahi sir
MAAN: don't try to defend him. woh tumareliye acha nahi hoga
Peon is really scared
Peon: sir! i am telling the truth. Really i don't know where Chandu is. I even tried to contact his mobile. but the marriage officer is attending the call. the MO is having Chandu's mobile
MAAN: you are not lying to me. are you?
Peon: sir! please trust me. if i get any information about Chandu, i will inform you
Maan gives his mobile number to the peon
MAAN: this is my number
Peon: ji sir
Maan turns around to leave
Peon: ek minute Sir
Maan stops
Peon: sir! i don't think that Chandu would have helped that girl in this marriage. Chandu is an innocent man. You must know him better than me. Chandu will never betray his employer. Chandu really loved Lachi and wanted to marry her.
Maan thinks that there is some truth in the Peon's words about Chandu. Maan knows that Chandu's is a very loyal employee.
Peon: Moreover, that Geet also seems to be a good girl. I don't think she would have done all these things deliberately.
Maan leaves the place silently.
Maan gets into his car and closes his eyes
Maan: (st) now how will i search for geet? i don't know anything about her except her name. somehow i have to find out her. par kaise?
Maan ignites his car and starts to search for geet in some random places. But he couldn't find her anywhere. It is almost night 9 pm and he is completely exhausted. As he didn't eat anything since morning, he is very tired.
Maan didn't know what to do next. He parks his car on the side of the road and closes his eyes to take some rest.
After few seconds his mobile rings. Maan opens his eyes and checks the caller name. The call is from a landline number with Amritsar STD code
Maan: (st) call from Amritsar number? Who could it be? Is it from Geet? does she know my number?
Maan's heart beats rush up. he attends the call immediately
M: hello!!
It is Adi on the line.
Adi: maan sir! main Adi bol rahan hu
Maan is little bit disappointed that the call is not from Geet. He couldn't understand what is happening to him.
Adi is confused by the silence at Maan's end
Adi: maan sir...
Maan comes out of the trance
MAAN: haan bolo Adi! did you find out Chandu and Sardarji?
Adi: i couldn't sir
Maan sighs
Adi: sir! actually i called Chandu's mobile, but some Chopra is attending the call.
Maan: ufff...Chopra, the marriage officer..
Adi: but sir why is he having Chandu's mobile?
Maan: leave it adi. where are you now?
Adi: sir...now i am back at District Court
MAAN: tum ek kam karo. book two rooms in the hotel that is nearest to the district court and wait for me threre. Main abhi aatha hu
Adi: ji sir
Maan cuts the call and drives towards the hotel.
Continued on Next post...
After few minutes...
Maan reaches the hotel and Adi is waiting for him at the hotel lobby. Seeing Maan, Adi comes to him.
MAAN: have you booked the rooms?
Adi: ji sir
Maan and Adi walks into the room. maan sits down on the sofa and drinks some water
Adi: kya hua sir? did you find geet's home?
Maan: no Adi! Chandu has given the Peon's address as Geet's
Adi: par kyun sir?
Maan: wo hi tho mujhe bhi samaj nahi aaraha hai adi?
Adi: ab hum kya karenge sir?
Maan: somehow i have to contact her
Maan takes his mobile out and opens geet's photo in it and he starts to think staring at the photo. Adi also notices geet's photo in maan's mobile. suddenly an idea pops up in his mind
Adi: haan sir!!! mere pas ek super idea hai
Maan: batao
Adi: sir! we have Geet's photo na...let us give a 'Missing' advertisement in newspaper
Maan: Kya?
Adi: haan sir! if we give a Missing advertisement with Geet's photo, whoever sees her will inform us. There is also possibility that Geet herself will come directly to the newspaper office in order to fight with them for publishing the advertisement
Maan: but what will you write in the advertisement?
Adi: something like " wife is missing. Anyone who gives information about the above person will be rewarded suitably"
Maan: but i don't want to call Geet as my wife
Adi: sir...if you don't want Geet to be your wife, then let her be my...
Maan mistakes that Adi's is trying to say that let Geet to be the latter's wife. Maan is super duper angry. He feels like killing Adi with his bare hands.
Maan: (shouts) let her be your what?
Maan himself didn't know why he couldn't hear someone taking Geet's name
Adi is scared to death by maan's shouting
Adi: sir woh...
Maan is not yet calmed down. He says in a warning tone.
Maan: behave yourself adi. wohi tumareliye acha hoga
Adi tries to clear the misunderstanding
Adi: sir...aap mujhe galat samaj rahe hai...i just wanted to say that let geet be my sister and we will give the Missing advertisement accordingly
Finally Maan correctly understands what Adi was trying to say
Maan: iska matlab...will you give the advertisement saying that Geet is your sister
Adi: haan sir! but there is no need to give my name in the advertisement... we will just give the advertisement something like, "my dear sister, please come back soon. your beloved brother is missing you. anyone who gives information about the above person will be rewarded suitably."
Maan: adi! if you don't give your name in the advertisement, geet will think that i am the one who gave the advertisement. She is already calling me "Bhai shaab". What will she do after reading the the words 'my dear sister' and 'your beloved brother' ?
Adi: (st) actually, what is maan sir's problem? He neither wants geet to be his wife nor he wants her to call him bhai saab?
Maan: tum yesa kya soch raha ho?
Adi is too scared to tell his selfthoughts to Maan. so he hides it from maan
Adi: kuch nahi sir. i will give the advertisement with my name.
Maan: hmm
Adi: sir...give me geet's photo. i have a friend in the local press. I will contact him and give the Missing advertisement tonight itself so that it will be published in tomorrow's newspapers
Maan gives his mobile to adi
Maan: Geet's photo is in the mobile. Take a print out from this.
Adi: ji sir
Maan thinks that dadima or Nayantara will call his mobile and ask him about Pari. So he instructs Adi to not attend any incoming calls
Maan: if someone calls my mobile, don't attend the call
Adi: ji sir
Adi receives Maan's mobile and turns to leave the room
Maan: ek minute Adi
Adi stops and turns to Maan
Maan walks to Adi and gives his car key
Maan: go by my car
Adi: ji sir
Adi takes the car key from maan and leaves the room
Maan closes the door behind; comes to the bed and falls flat on it and closes his eyes.
Maan recalls whatever happened since the morning. Geet's face keeps flashing in Maan's mind. he didn't feel like opening his eyes. He tries to get some sleep and dosses off.
After an hour, Maan wakes up from his sleep. suddenly some thought comes to his mind. he immediately opens his eyses with a jerk and gets up from the bed
Maan: ye maine kya kardiya? i agreed to publish Geet's photo in newspaper. What if some one misuse the advertisement and gives trouble to Geet?
Maan runs his fingers through his hair
Maan: (st) this is wrong maan! You are risking geet's safety and life. how can you do this to a girl?
Maan is upset by his behaviour
Maan: no...i have to stop Adi from giving the advertisement
Maan calls his mobile from the hotel landline. But Adi is not picking the call. Maan is more tensed
Maan: yeh Adi bhi na? he is strictly following my instructions. He is not even attending my call
Maan repeatedly tries Adi's number. But the latter is not piking again. Maan runs to the hotel reception
Maan: (to the receptionist) excuse me! i want a cab immediately
Receptionist: sir! please wait for 10 minutes
Maan: it is very urgent... i want the cab right now
Receptionist: but sir now time is 11 pm. at this time, it is not easy to get...
Maan is too impatient to listen to the receptionist. He runs to the hotel entrance gate and enquires the security
Maan: security! Did you see a black BMW car leaving the hotel about an hour back?
Security: sir! many cars are leaving the hotel evey minute. I can't remember them all
Maan: it is a black BMW car. Try to recall...
Security: no sir...i don't remember anything
Maan sighs
Maan: teek hai. can i get a cab here?
Security points to a place
Security: there is a taxi stand
Maan runs toward the taxi stand and hires a taxi
Maan: woh...take me to a local newspaper office
Driver: which newspaper office?
Maan: the largest selling newspaper in Amritsar
Driver: i don't know whichone is the largest selling newspaper
Maan rolls his eyes
Maan: ask someone
The driver goes and asks some fellow taxi drivers and comes back after few seconds
Driver: patha chalgaya sir
Maan:now get there soon
Driver starts the taxi and rushes it towards the newspaper office
After driving for about half an hour, the driver stops the car in front of a newspaper office. but maan couldn't find his car. He gets down from the taxi, runs to the reception and enquires about Adi. Maan is disappointed to know that adi didn't go there. maan wonders to which newspaper he would have gone. He couldn't get any clue. So maan decides to search for adi in all the newspaper office. he gets back to the taxi and starts to search for adi.
Maan: (st) what if they finish printing the advertisement before i find out Adi? i have to stop the advertisement at any cost
Almost 2 hours have passed. Now time is about 1 pm. but
When maan is about to enter the newspaper office, adi comes out of it. maan runs to him and holds him by his shoulder.
Maan: adi! have you given the advertisement for publishing?
Adi is shocked to see maan breathing heavily and his hair all messy.
Adi: maan sir! aap teek tho hena?
Maan: have you given the advertisement?
Adi: haan sir! they have even printed it. i wanted to make sure that they publish it in tomorrow's newspaper itself. That is why i was here until the priniting is finished. The advertisement has come up well sir.
Adi gives a copy of the nextday's newspaper
Adi: here is the specimen copy sir
Maan reads the advertisement and keeps staring at Geet's photo in it;
Adi: maan sir! koi problem hai kya?
Maan rubs his forehead
Maan: adi! we have to stop the advertisement from publishing
Adi confused
Adi: lekhin kyun sir?
Maan: this advertisement may endanger geet's life
Adi: sir! i couldn't understand anything
Maan: adi! there is no time to talk. Now ask your friend to stop circulating this paper
Adi: but sir...
Maan: where is your friend? I will talk to him
Adi takes maan to his friend. On the way to adi's friend room, Maan notices that soem men are loading the newspapers into trucks. Maan is more agitated.
Maan: adi! i will wait here. you bring your friend here
Adi: ji sir
Aadi leaves. Maan starts to watch around carefully to make sure that no truck leaves the bulding. After few seconds, Adi comes there with his friend.
Adi: maan sir! he is my friend Manoj
Maan turns to them
Maan: Mr. Manoj! I want to stop the circulation of tomorrow's paper
Manoj stares at maan with confusion
Manoj: matlab?
Maan: to be preicise, i don't want that Missing advertisement to be published tomorrow
Manoj: we have finished priniting it sir. we have also packed them and right now we are loading them into the trucks for circulation. We can't do anything at this point
Maan is annoyed
Maan: what do you mean by 'you can't do anything'?
Manoj turns to adi
Manoj: yaar adi! ye kya tamasha hai? you only urged me to publish the missing advertisement in tomorrow newspaper itself. i even cancelled some other important news inorder to give space to this advertisement. After everything has been finished, your boss is asking me to cancel the circulation of the newspapers. I don't understand anything
When adi is about to say something, a truck is being ignited and driven towards the exit. Maan is shocked. he shouts immediately
Maan: stop the truck...stop the truck
The truck driver applies break and peeps his head out of the truck and looks at Maan's direction
Manoj: (to the truck driver) arey chotu! Why did you stop the truck? It is getting late for circulation. Jaldi nikalo
Again the truck driver starts the truck and drives it towards the exit but keeps looking back at maan's direction
Maan is super duper angry. He shouts at Manoj
Maan: yeh tum kya kar raha ho? now ask the driver to stop the truck
Manoj: woh nahi ho saktha sir
Maan grabs manoj's shirt cholar, pulls him close to him and shouts at him
Maan: tum ne suna nahi maine kya kaha? Now stop the truck...warna...
Manoj is scared
Manoj: adi! tell your boss to leave me
Adi is watching the happenings with horror. Maan is still holding manoj by his cholar
Maan: (shouts more loudly) ask the driver to stop the truck
By raising his hand in the air, Manoj gestures the driver to stop the truck and the driver stops the truck immediately
Maan is relieved. He releases Manoj's cholar from his hold
Manoj: dekhiye sir! i can't stop the circulation. If i don't send them for circulation, my boss will fire me. please try to understand my situation
Maan: i will talk to your boss. Take me to him
Manoj: sir! he has left for his house
Maan: give me his phone number...i will talk to him
Manoj: sir! by this time, he would have slept
Maan: (in a stern voice) give me his phone number
Not wanting to again confront Maan, Manoj silently gives his boss's number to him
Maan: what is his name?
Manoj: Sharma
Maan: adi! give me my mobile
Adi hands over maan's mobile back to him.
Maan tries the number of the newspaper owner. After many rings, the owner attends the call
Maan: hello Mr. Sharma! Main Maan SinghKhurana bol raha hu.
Sharma: kaun?
Maan: Maan Singh Khurana...the Managing Director of Khurana Constructions
Sharma: Managing Director of Khurana Constrctions...matlab...you are Shavitri Devi's grandson?
Maan: hmmm
Sharma: i and your dadima are classmates in college...we...
Maan cuts him short
Maan: Mr. Sharma, i need to talk about an urgent matter. Please come to your office immediately. I am talking from there only
Sharma: you are in my office? par bath kya hai?
Maan: i am waiting. Come immediately.
Maan cuts the call.
Manoj: sir! is my boss coming?
Maan; hmm... until he comes, no truck should leave the building. ask all drivers to get down from the trucks
Manoj asks them to get down.
Maan: adi!
Adi: ji sir
Maan: collect all the truck keys from them
(OMG!!!! MSK!!! you are behaving as if you are the Don of Delhi)
Adi: ji sir
Adi collects the truck keys
Continued on Next post...
After few minutes, the newspaper owner Mr. Sharma comes there and he is shocked to see that all trucks are still standing in the building. He shouts at Manoj
Sharma: oye Manoj! What the hell is happening here? why the newspapers are still here?
Manoj silently stares at Maan
Maan: is he your boss?
Manoj nodes
Maan walks to Mr. Sharma and stretches his out hand to him
Maan: hello Mr. Sharma...i am Maan Singh Khurana
Mr. Sharma shakes Maan's hand
Sharma: hello Mr. Khurana.
Maan shows the advertisement to Sharma and starts to explain
Maan: dekhiye Mr. Sharma, this girl's name is Geet...
Adi is shocked thinking that maan is going to tell about the marriage
Maan: Geet is the younger sister of Adi who works in my office. today morning, geet went missing. So we gave the advertisement. Later we realised that the advertisement may endanger her life. so we wanted to cancel the advertisement. But before that your people printed it...
Adi: (st) acha...Maan sir is very smart. He will never tell anyone that Geet is his wife
Maan finishes the entire story.
Maan: please Mr. Sharma...do something...Geet's photo should not come in the paper
Mr. Sharma rubs his forehead and thinks for few seconds
Sharma: i can understand your problem Mr. Khurana...but now it is already 2.30 am...we have to distribut the papers in 2 hours...
Maan: dekhiye Mr. Sharma, i will compensate for whatever loss that occurs in cancelling the circulation of the paper
Sharma: the problem is not about money but it is our reputation which is under stake
Maan thinks for few seconds
Maan: if it is not possible to cancel the circulation of whole paper, you could atleast remove the page in which geet's photo has been printed. Can't you?
Mr. Sharma checks the headlines of other news items that have been printed on the page number 9, which contains Geet's photo and the page number 10 which is on the back of Page 9
Sharma: this page doesn't have much important news...
Maan is little bit relieved
Sharma: but you see Mr. Khurana, already they have loaded the papers on the trucks. Now we have to unload them, remove the particular page from each and every copy. There are around 50 thousand copies. Removing this page from all the 50 thousand copies in such a short time is next to impossible
Maan: in that case, let me buy all the 50 thousand copies
Mr. Sharma, Adi and others are shocked
Sharma: what?
Maan: haan! i will buy all the copies
Sharma: no Mr. Khurana...we can't sell all our papers to one customer...we have to circulate the papers to the public. Otherwise we will lose our customers
Maan: don't tell me that you will lose your customers in one day
Sharma: no Mr. Khurana...
Maan: if you have problem in selling all your newspapers to me, then let me buy your newspaper company itself. how much your company costs?
(hai... Khurana newspapers...we can read daily updates of Maaneet love story...haha. it will promote the newspaper reading habit among the youngster...what an idea sirji!!!)
Mr. Sharma is amazed by the determination of Maan and he decides to help him at any cost
Sharma: Manoj! Ask the men to unload the papers from the trucks
Manoj: ji sir
Maan is relieved
Sharma: i will arrange for some more men. You co-ordinate them and remove the sheet with page number 9 and 10, from all the copies and then send the rest for circulation as soon as possible
Manoj: ji sir
Maan: thanks Mr. Sharma
Mr. Sharma smiles and calls someone over phone and asks them to send some more men to finish the job in time
The newspapers are being unloaded from the trucks, unpacked and the particular sheet is being removed. Manoj is directing the men. Adi is also helping them. Maan is watching them carefully
Mr. Sharma comes to Maan and puts his hand on Maan's shoulder. Maan turns to him and looks at him questioningly
Sharma: Mr. Khurana! can i ask you something?
Maan: hmm
Sharma: who is that girl?
Maan: who?
Sharma: Geet
Maan: i told you na She is Adi's sister
Sharma: i don't believe it
Maan: matlab?
Sharma: she is someone very special to you for whom you will do anything
Hearing sharma's words Maan's heart skips a beat. but he protests Sharma's words immediately
Maan: yesa kuch nahi hai
Sharma: yesa hi hai Mr. Khurana...you are of my grand son's age...i can understand these things.
When maan is about to say something, Mr. Sharma cuts him short and says
Sharma: i am impressed by your determination to save the dignity of your love. she is very lucky to have you...
Maan: dekhiye Mr. Sharma...yesa...
Again Mr. Sharma cuts him short
Sharma: i am sorry that she went missing. But have faith in your love. your love for her is so pure and strong and it will bring her back to you
Saying this Mr. Sharma leaves the place without waiting for maan's reply. Maan is dumbstruck by sharma's words. his words keep echoing in Maan's ears.
Maan: (st) ye mujhe kya horaha hai? main yesa kyun kar raha hun? Why i am so much concerned about geet's safety?
Maan thinks for few seconds and tries to justify his action
Maan: (st) no maan! you are not doing anything special for Geet. if it is someother girl also you would have done the same.
Maan is little bit relieved by his self justification
A few feet away, Manoj is talking with Adi
Manoj: yaar Adi! is your boss in love with your sister?
Adi who is also wondering the same, didn't know what to reply
Adi: (st) seeing Maan sir's behaviour i myself am in a confused state. I don't know if he loves geet or hates her
Manoj: oye Adi! why are you being silent? Tell me, is he in love with your sister?
Adi: i don't know
Manoj: but i know for sure
Adi: you know what?
Manoj: your boss is in love with either your sister or you
Adi: (shocked) Kya?
Manoj: haan! to save your sister's dignity he even went to the extent of buying this newspaper company. Pakkaa.. your boss is madly in love with anyone of you
Saying this Manoj leaves the place
After about an hour the job is finished and the newspapers are again loaded on the trucks and sent for circulation. Maan stays there until all the trucks leave the place. Manoj comes to maan
Manoj: aap ka kam hogaya sir
Maan: hmmm
Manoj points to the removed pages and asks maan
Manoj: sir...what should we do with these 50 thousand copies?
Maan also wonders what to do with 50 thousand copies of the page that contains Geet's photo.
Maan: usually what will you do with damaged copies?
Manoj: we will crush them and recycle them
Maan picks up a copy and caresses Geet's photo
Maan: crushing?
Manoj: haan sir
Adi is more confused by maan's behaviour
Manoj whispers in Adi's ear
Manoj: yaar! See how lovingly your boss is caressing your sister's photo. Definitely he is in love with your sister. i bet, he will not let her photo to be crushed. Now see, your boss will ask you to load all the 50 thousand copies in his car dicky
Adi: maan sir! should i load them in your car dicky?
Maan realises that he is caressing geet's photo. he is pissed off by his action. He talks in a stern voice
Maan: put them in Paper crusher
Manoj: (shocked) are you sure sir?
Maan: tum ne suna nahi maine kya kaha? Now do it
Manoj hesitantly directs the men to take those copies to the paper crushing machine. Maan didn't feel like staying there anymore. (may be, he didn't want to see Geet's photos being crushed)
Maan asks adi to stay back and make sure that all the copies are crushed and disposed off.
Maan is driving back to the hotel. He is going through lot of emotions. Something is bothering him. he couldn't understand what is that. he reaches the hotel, comes to his room, falls flat on the bed and closes his eyes. he tries to get some sleep but he miserably fails. After a long struggle, he dosses off.
Continued on Next post...
Next morning...
Adi comes back to the hotel at 7am. He knocks at maan's room door. no reply from inside. So Adi pushes the door slightly and peeps through it. Maan is still sleeping.
Adi walks inside and goes close to the bed and tries to wake up maan. after few second Maan opens his eyes and gets up from the bed
Maan: when did you come?
Adi: a few minutes back sir
Maan didn't talk anything else. Silece prevails there for few minutes. Adi hesistantly starts to talk
Adi: Maan sir...if you don't mind, can i ask you something?
Maan knew that Adi is going to ask something about Geet. but still he allows him to ask
Maan: poocho
Adi: why are you so concerned about Geet's safety?
As expected, Maan is irritated by this question.
Maan: i am not concerned about anyone
Adi: i don't think so sir
Maan stares at adi questioningly
Adi: sir, your words didn't match whatever you did last night
Maan: adi!!!
Adi: sir! sorry to talk to you like this. but i have to ask you this sir. last night you didn't care about anything including your reputation. All your concerns were about preventing any risk to geet's safety. fortunately the newspaper owner was a classmate of dadima. had it been someone else, they could have even called the police. Had something happened like that your reputation would have been spoiled. But at that time you didn't seem to care about anything. you did everything for the sake of Geet's safety. kyun sir?
Maan himself didn't know why he did all these. He knows that there is some truth in adi's words. had the newspaper owner called the police, the problem would have taken some ugly turn. Maan is trying to come to in terms with his actions.
Adi reads maan's confused face and tries to bring out what is going on in maan's mind. adi deliberately talks bad about Geet so as to check if maan is getting provoked
Adi: you only said na sir...geet has trapped you into this marriage and she is having some ulterior motives too. If that is true, then she doesn't deserve to be treated with dignity. We should have let the advertisement to ciculate. Then she would have learned her lesson
Maan couldn't stand adi's words about geet
Maan: (shouts) stop it Adi
After getting the result what he wanted, Adi goes silent and he smiles to himself
Maan: adi! we don't have any proof that geet trapped me into this marriage. more over chandu is a very loyal person. He will never betray me. may be, this marriage could really have happened by accident. Geet may be innocent. Now stop saying bad things about her
Adi is internally happy by maan's words.
Adi: sorry sir
After few minutes maan calms down...
Maan: but still i have to search for geet and get her signature in the divorce papers
Adi couldn't understand what maan really wants
Maan: but i don't know how to find her
Some idea flashes in adi's super brain
Adi: sir! mere pas ek super idea hai
Maan: (angry) are you not done with your stupid ideas? I have had enough because of your idea about the missing advertisement.
Adi: sir, sorry for that newspaper idea. But now, really i have a super idea. Trust me
Maan: tum ne suna nahi maine kya kaha. I don't want your ideas. For your kind information i do have brain and i can use it to search for geet
Adi: but sir...
Maan rolls his eyes
Maan: get out adi
Adi turns to leave
Maan; ek minute
Adi stops and turns to maan
Maan: batao
Adi is super duper happy
Adi: sir! let us talk to geet through FM Radio
Maan: i will kill you idiot
Adi: kyun sir? idea tho acha hai
Maan; (sarcastically) oh really?
Adi: sir! please listen to me...
Maan; get out
Adi: sir...please...ek bar sun leejiye
Maan; teek hai bolo
Adi; i know a friend who is working in a local FM Radio. He will help us to talk to geet on FM Radio
Maan is not much impressed by adi's idea
Maan: aage bolo
Adi: sir! geet is thinking that we are pimps. That is why she ran away from us. So we have to clear this misunderstanding first
Maan; tho?
Adi; You should talk to geet on FM Radio and tell her that you are not a pimp
Maan is super duper annoyed by adi's plan
Maan: (sarcastically) wow...what an idea...i , Maan Singh Khurana, the Managing Director of Khurana Constructions should declare to the world on the FM Radio that i am not a pimp...wow...as you said...it is a superb idea. I am impressed with your brain adi
Adi didn't understand maan's sarcasam. He thanks maan
Adi: thanks for the compliments sir
Maan: acha! Ab tum ek kam karo
Adi: ji sir
Maan: yahan se chali jao
Adi: (innocently) kyun sir?
Maan hits his forehead with his hand
Adi: sir! don't you like my idea?
Maan: adi! use your brain for once. What will people think about me if i say that i am not a pimp?
Adi: but sir! you can't say that you are a pimp either
Maan: i will surely kill you today
Adi goes mute
Maan thinks for few seconds and some idea comes to his mind
Maan: teek hai...make the arrangements for the FM Radio talk
Adi: really sir?
Maan: haan
Saying this maan, leaves for the bathroom
Adi calls his friend and explains everything to him
Continued on Next post...
Geet wakes up from her sleep and she is confused to see that she is sleeping on the floor. She looks around. Romeo(Geet's pet dog) is sleeping next to her. geet tries to recall what happened last night. She recalls her talks with her parents. she recalls how lonely she was, how she was crying, how scared she was about Maan, how romeo tried to comfort her by caressing geet's hand and how she dossed off on the floor.
Geet decides to start her new day afresh. She kisses Romeo's forehead and gets up from the floor. She rubs her hands against each other and warms her face with them. she opens her eyes and sees her hands. geet notices that her ring is missing from her finger. She is shocked.
Geet: arey! Meri anguti kahan gayi?
Geet looks around the floor and searches for the ring. She couldn't find it anywhere.
Geet: has Romeo swallowed it?
Geet wakes up Romeo
Geet: oye Romeo! wake up ...wake up
Romeo opens his eyes slightly and again closes them.
Geet: oh...mera lazy romeo...now wake up darling...my ring is missing.
Romeo is nowhere listening to Geet. he keeps on enjoying his sleep. Geet separates Romeo's jaws apart and checks for the ring inside his mouth. She couldn't find her ring in the poor romeo's mouth
Geet: the ring is not in romeo's mouth also...where did it go?
Geet tries to recall when she saw her ring last time. she couldn't remember it. she decides to search for her ring on the street. She goes to bath room, washes her face, adjusts her hair and goes to the street in search of the ring. She keeps scanning the ground while walking through the street.
A passer by lady asks: arey Geet putar! Tum sadak pe yesa kya doond rahi ho?
Geet: aunty ji! Meri anguti kho gayi.
Lady: where did you miss it?
Geet: i don't know
Lady: putar...now a days, people have become very bad. By this time someone would have found your ring and taken them with them. you will never get your ring back
Geet is worried
Geet: nahi aunty ji! Yesa math kehdeejiye! The ring is my parents' last gift to me. i won't lose it at any cost
Lady: i can understand Geetu. but the things once got lost in the streets are lost forever
Saying this, the lady leaves
But Geet didn't lose her confidence. She strongly believes that she will get back her ring
Geet: (st) my parents' love will bring that ring back to me. i know, right now my ring must be in safe hands. i will get it back
When Geet is about to go back to home, she notices that there is a crowd surrounding a petty shop which belongs to her neighbour Govind
Geet: (st) arey! What is going on there on Govind bhaiya's shop?
Geet runs to the shop
Some people are shouting something like," where is the missing pages...are you trying to fool us...blah blah..
Geet sneaks through the crowd and comes close to Govind who is trying to calm down the crowd
Govind: (to the crowd) dekhiye...aaram se mere bath suniye...i didn't do anything...it came like this only
Some FM Radio is playing in Govind's shop. But no one cares to listen to it. all are busy in their fight.
Geet notices that there is a newspaper in everyone's hand
A man from the crowd tries to hit Govind. Geet holds the man's hand and stops him from beating Govind
Geet: (shouts) bhai shaab! stop it...why are you trying to attack Govind bhaiya? what did he do?
Man: oye geetu! you stay out of this. don't support this fraud
Govind hides behind Geet and talks with fear
Govind: Geetu! i didn't do any wrong...
Man: oye don't lie
Geet: chup bilkul chup
All of them are going silent
Geet: ab batayiye...baath kya hai?
All of them talk in Chorus and geet couldn't understand anything. she again shouts
Geet: chup...one at a time
A man starts to explain what happened
Man: geetu! i bought a newspaper from Govind's shop
Geet: is mein kya problem hai?
Man: 2 pages are missing from the paper
Geet: kya?
Man: haan! page numbers 9 and 10 are missing . you check for yourself
The man gives a newspaper to geet. she checks thepaper. Page numbers 9 and 10 are missing from it
Geet: bhai shaab! The newspaper company would have missed to include these two pages in your copy. You get another copy from Govind Bhaiya
Man: it is impossible. I am reading this newspaper for 25 years. Nothing like this happened ever.
Geet; tho?
Man; i doubt that Govind has stolen these two pages?
Geet: Govind bhaiya would not do like that
Other people start to shout in chorus: Govind has stolen two pages from our newspapers also
Geet turns to Govind
Geet: ye kya horaha hai Govind bhaiya?
Govind: patha nahi Geetu! i didn't do anything. i just sold the newspaper as usual. But these people are complaining that two pages are missing from their paper.
Geet: have you sold all the copies?
Govind; no...i still have 5 copies.
Geet: where are they?
Govind gives the remaining five copies to Geet. She checks them and she is surprised to see that Page 9 and 10 are missing from them also. geet comes to a conclusion that the newspaper must have printed the page numbers wrongly. She starts to explain to the crowd..
Geet: now all of you listen to me carefully. Page number 9 and 10 are missing in all the copies. It means, the newspaper publishing house would have numbered the pages wrongly leaving number 9 and 10. Govind bhaiya doesn't have anything to do with this. the mistake would have happened in the newspaper office itself, because of some idiot.
(oye Geet! whom you are calling idiot?😕)
The Crowd murmers among them and leaves the place : yesa bhi hota hai kya?...kya din aa gaya..
Govind is relieved and he thanks geet
Govind; thank you so much geetu. Hadn't you come in right time, these people would have killed me
(buddies, just imagine the state of the entire newpaper sellers in Amritsar over the mystery of the missing pages..poor souls...thanks to Maan Singh Khurana and Geet Handa. Ye donon milkar, poori Amritsar ko pagal kardenge...lol)
Geet: koi bath nahi bhaiya! ab main jaa rahi hun
Geet turns to leave the shop, but she is stopped by the Govind
Govind: ek minute Geetu...can you take care of the shop for few minutes? I have to bring some things from home
Geet: teek hai bhaiya! jaldi wapas ayiye. I have to get ready for my college
Govind agrees and leaves the place. Geet looks around the shop and sits down on a chair
The FM Radio is still playing...
FM Radio RJ: hai folks! you are listening to 143 FM Radio and this is your RJ Aashish...today in the programme "Speak Your Love", we have a very sweet husband who is very hot and cute... unfortunately his wife had a fight with him and left him yesterday and he is searching for her, he is missing her like anything...and now he is going to talk to his wife...
( Buddies, Adi has deliberately written the above introduction about Maan and Geet and gave it to the RJ Aashish. The RJ has also added some extra things to make it sound so emotional. Maan protests the above words. but the Adi and Aashish duo convinces Maan saying that then only people will listen to this programme...especially young girls like Geet. finally maan reluctancly agrees for these words)
Geet looks at the FM Radio and starts to listen to it carefully. She didn't know why she is showing interest in listening to that programme
Maan hesitantly starts to talk..
Maan talks on FM Radio: Geet...
Maan pauses for few seconds
Hearing Maan's voice Geet's heart skips a beat.
Geet: (st) ye aawaz?
Maan continues...
Maan: Geet! this is Maan. Your...
Maan didn't know what to say next...he again pauses
Geet: (st) Maan? is it really him?
After few seconds maan starts to talk again
Maan: hope you remember me
Geet recalls maan's face
Maan: geet...i hope you are listening to me from somewhere
Geet keeps listening carefully
Maan: i just wanted to tell you that i am not what you are thinking about me
Geet: (st) is he not a pimp?
Maan: you have misunderstood everything
Geet: (st) but that Adi said na he is a Pimp
Maan: yesterday, whatever happened between us was not planned by me
Geet: (st) is he talking about our marriage?
Maan: if we cooperate with each other, we can come out of the trouble that we both are in
Geet: (st) is he talking about coming out of the wedlock?
Maan: if you trust me, call me before this programme ends. The phone number is 9143143143
Geet: (st) should i trust him?
The RJ takes over from Maan
RJ: hai folks! Just now we heard a loving husband appealing to his wife to come back to him. let us wait and see if the lucky wife of this sweet husband calls him or not. We will hope for the best...stay tuned...here comes a beautiful love song for you...
The RJ plays a song,
"Tu hi meri hai saari jameen, Chaahe kahin se chalu tujhape hi aake ruku
Tere siwa main jaaun kahan koyi bhi raah chunu tujhape hi aake ruku
tum mile toh lamhe...
Through out the song, Maan and Geet are going through various emotions.
Geet couldn't decide whether to trust maan's words or not.
Geet: (st) what should i do babaji? i am confused. I don't know whether to trust him or not. Is it his next move to kidnap me? i don't know what to do now. should i talk to him? madad karna babaji
Maan is thinking whether geet will be listening to this program and will she call him...
Maan: (st) will geet be listening to this programme. if she listens, will she call and talk to me? why i am expecting her to trust me?
After thinking for many times, Geet picks up the phone receiver in her hand and looks around to check if someone is present in the audible distance. After making sure that no one is around, geet dials the number
The song ends...
RJ: just now you listened to a beautiful love song from the movie Tum Mile. today in our studio, a loving husband is anxiously waiting for his wife's call...a caller is coming on the line...let us see...is it Mr. Maan's wife or someone else...
Maan's heart beats rushes up
RJ: hello...
Caller: hello!
Maan hears a lady voice, but he is disappointed by the voice. It's not geet's voice
RJ: hello! Boliye...can i have your name please?
Caller: Payal here. i want to talk to Mr. Maan
RJ: yaa sure Payal...Mr. Maan is here...you can talk to him right away...
Payal: hello Mr. Maan!
Maan didn't reply
Payal: hello...can you hear me?
RJ: yes Payal...we are listening to you...please go ahead
Payal: Mr. Maan, you sound very sweet. I am sure you must be a loving and caring husband. your love is true and you will definitely get your wife back. don't worry... she can not stay away from you for too long...she will come back to you. i am sure she will call you before the programme ends. All the very best...
Maan didn't know how to react. He didn't feel like giving any reply to Payal.
Geet also didn't know how to react.
RJ: that is so sweet of you Payal. Thanks for calling...have a nice day
Payal; thanks
RJ: ok...folks...just now we had Payal on the line and she is so confident about the reunion of Mr.Maan and his wife Geet...i also hope for the same...
Though both maan and geet knew that whatever people talking about them on the radio is not true, both are silently listening to them. they didn't know what is happening to them.
Adi tries to read Maan's reactions to the happenings. But Maan is a master in hiding his emotions. So adi miserably fails in his attempt.
Like this, many callers call the FM Radio and wish Maan that he will get his wife back.
Geet keeps trying to call the FM Radio number. But the telephone line is continuously engaged.
RJ: Ok...friends, now we are close to the end of the programme " Speak Your Love". unfortunately Mr. Maan's wife is yet to call our studio...we have one last caller...let us see if it is Mrs. Maan...
RJ attends the call...
RJ: hello good morning...may i know who is on the line?
Caller: hello! This is Chopra.
Maan: (st) Chopra? Is he the marriage officer?
Geet: (st) Chopra? Somewhere i have heard this name. but where?
RJ: yes Mr. Chopra...welcome to the programme
Chopra: I want to say something to both Mr. Maan and his wife Geet
RJ: yes Mr. Chopra go on...
Chopra: Mr. Maan and Mrs. Geet, i hope you both remember me. i just want to remind you whatever i said to you yesterday..." Marriages are made in heaven and your's is not an exception". Hope, you both will get united very soon
Geet: (st) haan...he is the Marriage officer
RJ: thanks for calling Mr. Chopra...i think you are a well wisher of Mr. Maan and his wife...lets hope for the best...have a nice day sir
Chopra: thank you Aashish
RJ: ok...folks...this programme ends here...we didn't get any call from Mr. Maan's wife.. ...but we are sure that soon she will come back to him...Mr. Maan! all the very best and thanks for coming here
Maan: i want to say something
RJ: yeh sure
Maan: Geet! i still believe that you are listening to this programme. i don't know why you didn't call me. may be you are scared to trust me...but anyhow...i am still left with some belief that you will change your opinion about me...and till this noon, i will be waiting for you in the place where we met for the first time... if you trust me come and meet me there...Good bye...
Geet almost feels like crying. She couldn't decide whether to belive maan's words or not. On one hand she is scared of being kidnapped by a pimp. On the others hand, some part of her heart begs her to trust maan's words. She is totally helpless. She decides to again try the FM Radio number
When Geet is about to call the FM radio again, Govind comes back to the shop. Seeing Govind, geet hangs down the receiver.
Govind; Geetu! thanks for taking care of the shop. Sorry thoda late hogaya
Geetu: koi bath nahi bhaiya
Geet looks at the FM Radio for the last time and leaves the shop.
Geet comes back to her house and sits down on the sofa. Romeo is still sleeping. She looks around the house and bursts into tears
Geet: Maa...Paa...what should i do now? can you see your daughter's plight? Should i trust him or not? Why this is happening to me?
Precap: Maan is waiting for Geet at the District Court
