Maan: come in

Geet enters and Maan doesn't notice her...he is involvedin the work as always...

Geet waits for a moment and tries to call him...

But she is confused...: suniye

Maan is taken aback and looks up and finds Geet staringhim...

Maan frowns and gets irritated...

Maan: tum meri secretary ho

Geet: hmmm

Maan: mein tera boss hoon

Geet: hmmm

Geet keeps nodding her head...

Maan: just call me sir like everyone...

Geet: ji Maan sir

Maan sir? Ye kabhi bhi mere baat ko teek se nahi samjhegi?

Maan is upset...

Maan: yahan kyun aayi ho?

Geet: woh, mujhe kuch poochna hai, woh Mr.Sharma ki project

Maan: Mr.Sharma ki project toh tum hi handle karthi haina?Aur Mr.Sharma toh tummare kaam ke tareef karthe rehthe haina? Ab kya hua?

Geet: woh, aap kuch badalna chahthe the, Rahul sir nebathaya tha, mujhe teek se samaj mein nahi aayi, kya aap phir se batha saktheho?

Maan keeps looking on his files...

He is struggling to make eyecontact...

He doesn't want to prolong the conversation...

Maan: usski koi zaroorat nahi, tum final copy tayaar karlo

Geet: lekhin Maan sir

Hearing her call him Maan again and again makes him long forit again...

He could just keep listening to her bak baks all day, thoughthey are meaningless non-sense he can't stop admiring her innocentblabbers...and her way of calling his name is different from what he is usedto hear from others...they call him with respect...Geet calls him withaffection, just like Dadi calls him Maan bete...

Maan: kya Maan sir Maan sir?

Geet: aapne hi kaha na, Maan sir kehne ki

Maan: tum jao apna kaam karo

Geet: aap ne kuch nahi bathaya?

Maan: it's your project, haina? Tum apne hisaab se hi sabkuch karlo, jaise tumme achcha lagtha waise hi karlo

Geet: par aap kuch aur hi chahathe honge?

Maan: tumne suna nahi meinne kya kaha? Kyun bar bar mujhepareshaan kar rahi ho? jao, jo kaam tumme diya hai woh tumme hi karna padega,samjhi tum?

Maan yells at her, poor Geet, she is so scared and isworried why Maan is so angry with her always...

She leaves immediately...

She then tries to remember what Rahul said and she alsoincludes her own ideas...Maan has said that it's her project, so she wants toshow him what she is capable of...

She works late in the evening to complete it...

Pinky has already left and Adi is also gone...

Geet doesn't know anyone else...

She finishes her work and comes out of her cabin thinkingthat she should take the right bus and she is not afraid to go alone, she hasgot used to the city life to some extend...

Maan knew that Geet would be staying long and he too stayedback...

He couldn't leave her on her own, she doesn't know anythingbut thinks that she knows everything...

He waits for her till she is done with her work...

Geet doesn't know that Maan is still here...

She thinks that Maan has forgotten to switch of the lightsin his cabin and she goes to switch them off...

She opens the door and is shocked to see Maan still there...

Oops...she didn't knock? Hare babaji? Ye meinne kyakardhiya?

Geet slams the door back in a hurry...

Maan has seen her and he shouts...: Geeet

Geet then knocks...

Maan: Geeet, andar aao

Geet comes in slowly...

Maan: tum koi bhi kaam teek se nahi kar sakthi?

Geet: woh, meinne socha ki aap andar nahi honge

Maan: phir tum mere cabin mein kya karne aayi thi?

Maan gets angry...

Geet: woh...light...band karna haina? Aap bhool gaye,issiliye

Geet fumbles...

Maan: kya?

Geet: kuch nahi, mein jaathi hoon

She then tries to run away...

Maan has been waiting for her only...

Maan : Geeet

Maan gets off from his seat and comes to stop her...

Geet turns back and blinks...

Maan catches hold of her and stops her...

Maan: rukh jao

Geet: mujhe ghar jaana hai

Maan: toh mein kya jungle jaa raha hoon?

Geet: mujhe kaise patha? Aap ko kahan jaana hai?

Maan: Geeet

Geet: mujhe dher ho gayi hai

Maan: chalo, itne raat ko akhele kaise jaoge? Mere saath aao

Geet: nahi

Maan: Geeet, tumne suna nahi meine kya kaha? Chalomere saath

Maan leads her and Geet silently follows him...

They turn their face away from one another in the car...

And Geet runs in as soon as Maan stops the car...

Maan follows her...

Dadi is happy to see them coming together...

Dadi: kya hua bete? Aaj itne dher kaise ho gayi?

Geet: woh, thoda kaam tha Dadima

Maan: ji Dadi

Geet: ye joot bolthe hai, inko koi kaam nahi tha

Maan stares her...

Dadi smiles...

Geet: mujhe bahut kaam tha

Dadi: Maan aap se bahut zyada kaam karwathe haina?

Geet: haan

Maan: kya?

Geet: itni si bachi se itna kaam koi karwatha hai kya? DhustDanav

Maan: Geeet

Maan gets angry again...he keeps staring Geet...

Dadi: Maan bete, aap jakke fresh hokke aayiye

Dadi saves Geet...

Maan goes upstairs and Geet finishes her dinner quickly andleaves before Maan comes...

Next day...

Geet is a little late but Maan excuses her for that as shehad been working overtime last night...

Geet hurries in after reaching KC...

Maan has just come back after a meeting and he has justboarded the lift...

Geet runs ro catch it as she is scared that she is too lateand waves to Maan to stop it...

Maan is alone on the lift and doesn't feel comfortable for aride with Geet...

Maan ignores her request and the lift leaves...

Geet curses Maan thinking that he is punishing her for beinglate and takes the steps and she tries hard to reach the office before Maan...

She bumps into Adi on her way...

Adi: he he Geet, sambalke

Geet: hmm hmm hmm gud morning Adi sir

Adi: Rahul sir is waiting for you

Geet: kya? mein itne late kyun ho gayi? Hare babaji, ab meinkya karoon? Dhust Danav toh pehle hi bahut naraaz hai

Adi: Geeet

Geet is on her way to Maan's cabin...

She thinks Rahul is waiting there along with Maan...

But Maan doesn't want to involve in this project and he hadsent Rahul to Geet's cabin to discuss further...

Rahul wants to know the progress and also he had to briefMr.Sharma about it when he returns to Mumbai...

Maan strictly tells him that he has nothing to do with theproject and it's solely Geet's responsibility, Maan added that no one wantedhim on board and they only wanted Geet and so he is not interested in itanymore...

Rahul thinks that Maan is jealous of Geet...MSK is the bossand can't accept the fact that Geet is also equally good...

Rahul smiles and enjoys this conflict as he knows that mostof the love stories begin in a fight and ego clashes...

Rahul too believes that Geet is the one who could matchMaan's attitude and also trigger his other emotions other than his famousgussa...

Rahul is happy to be working with Geet rather than Maan asGeet is open to everyone's ideas while Maan always keeps arguing that MSK isalways right which he mostly is, but the odd times when he errs he is not readyto concede defeat easily...

While Rahul is awaiting Geet's arrival Geet goes to meetMaan who is not willing to even share the lift with her...

Geet knocks...this time no mistakes...

Geet thinks that she should be very very carefull andshouldn't upset Maan...

Maan asks her to come in...

Geet enters in her express speed and she is still breathingheavily...

Geet: hm hm hm

Geet takes her time to settle...

Maan keeps staring her and is confused why she is alwaysafter him?

Geet: gud...hm morning...hmmm Maan sir

Maan: tum?

Geet is shocked by his reactions...

Maan calls Adi...: Adiii

Adi comes running...

Geet is confused, what's wrong with him now?

Adi: yes sir

Maan: Adi, ye yahan kyun aayi hai?

Maan stares Adi...poor Adi...

Adi: Geet, Rahul sir is waiting for you, meinne kaha na

Geet: par sir, mein bhi unse milne hi aayi hoon

Maan: Adi, isse kaho ki bar bar aaise mujhe disturb nahikarein

Adi: Geet, Rahul sir tummare cabin mein hai, chalo'

Adi goes and Geet follows him...

Maan: rukho

Geet turns back...

Maan: dubara koi bhi kaam hai toh Adi ya Sasha se baatkarna, mujhe disturb karne ki koi zaroorat nahi, mujhe chain se kaam karna hai,samjhi tum?

Geet nods her head in disappointment...
