                                                                Part- 40

Geet meets Rahul and explains him what she had improvisedand finalized...

Rahul is impressed with her novel thinking and praises herfor her sincerity...

She has taken this as a challenge and knowing her backgrounds she had to work very very hard to cope with the demands of the projectbut she managed pretty well as she is a quick learner...

Rahul finds Geet upset with Maan's anger and attitude, he doesn'teven have the courtesy to appreciate Geet's efforts and one has to give it toher fighting spirits and never say die attitude for all her success...

Rahul: tum bhura mat mano Geet, Ye MSK aaisa hi hai, lekhinpatha nahi tumme dekhthe hi itna kyun batakjaatha, kuch toh problem hai, I'llfind out soon

Geet: aaisa kuch nahi hai

Geet defends Maan immediately...

Rahul smiles...: you are such a sweet girl Geet, Maan itnabhi bhura kaise ho gaya?

Rahul has seen the changes in Maan, but he is over reactingwhen it comes to Geet...

He is not the one to hurt his employees unnecessarily...

But with Geet he easily gets angry and looks for everyopportunity to hurt her...

Geet is just trying to win over his heart but Maan isblindfolded when it comes to Geet...

Rahul too leaves for Mumbai and Geet is left with Adi andPinky...

Though Geet enjoys their company and is happy to be withthem she can't bear Maan's neglect...

She is the only one who is restricted from free access toMaan's cabin...

Even that devil Sasha often goes to meet Maan in his cabin,Geet is a little jealous...

But Geet keeps doing her job with the hope that Maan willalleast notice her work...

Geet helps Adi and Pinky in their projects too whenever sheget's time...

She doesn't work for money, she is here for Maan, she wantshim to be happy, and she thinks that KC's progress to the no.1 spot as dreamtby Vicky would make Maan happy...

She looks into some broken partnerships due to the suddendemise if Vicky and tries to convey the message that KC is still eager to workwith them and that MSK is Vicky's brother who is now taking forward hisbrothers dream venture...

She also tells them that MSK is looking forward to theirpartnership and is happy to join hands with his Bro's trusted and long timepartners...

This helps KC get many of their earliest clients back...

Even Maan is surprised to see the responses and many evenfeel sorry that they had missed out working with Vicky's little brother andthey also feel bad that the should have helped Maan after the tragedy...theyhave been selfish and they thought KC is nothing without Vicky...

But after knowing about the comeback of KC they have beenwaiting for the right chance to work together again and they used this invitationfrom KC aptly...

Maan didn't know that this is Geet's idea...

He thinks that Sasha and her team has worked out this planas they are the ones who have been working for KC since it's foundation...

They had been working for Vicky for many years now and areseniors to Maan too...

Adi is also surprised...this Sasha is taking advantage ofthe situation and she is boasting all the time...but Geet deserves all thecredits for Geet is the one responsible for the recent success of KC's revivalof old partnerships and also this new multi crore Mumbai deal...

Adi and Pinky decide to help Geet...

They will stop that Sasha from getting near MSK and helpGeet to meet Maan instead...

So, when Maan asks Adi to get him black coffee, Adi tellsGeet to make coffe for Maan...

And poor Geet has not made black coffee before and with thehelp of Pinky she accomplishes her task somehow...

She takes the coffee to Maan's cabin...

Geet knocks and waits...

Maan thinks it must be Adi with the coffee...

Maan: come in

Geet enters quietly as she is scared and waits...

Maan reaches out for his coffee without bothering to look atAdi...

Geet gives the mug to him and Maan immediately takes asip...

It's sugar syrup and not black coffee...

Maan gets angry and looks up and finds Geet standingthere...

Maan: Adiii,Adi kahan hai?

Geet: Adi sir koi zaroori kaam mein busy hai

Maan: tumme ye sab karne ki kya zaroorat thi?

Geet: woh mein Adi sir ki madat karna chahathi thi

Maan: ye kya hai?

Geet: coffee

Maan: sugar cubes kitna dala tumne?

Geet starts thinking seriously...

Geet: woh, pehle meinne ek dala, phir Pinky ne kaha bahut kmhogi, phir do aur dala, phir ne ek aur meinne ek dala tha, she counts with herfingers, ek do theen char paanch

Maan: sirf paanch?

Geet: haan

Maan: kyun? Phir sugar cubes katam ho gaye kya?

Geet: aapko kaise patha? Haan, katam ho gaye

She replies innocently...

Maan doesn't know what to do with this girl?

Jitna bhi usse dhoor jaane ki koshish kartha utna hi kareebaajaathi hai ye...

Aur MSK ke dil ki itna kareen aagayi hai ki ab Maan bhiussko apne dil mein gusne se rokh nahi saktha...

Geet: kyun? Cheeni kum hai kya?

Maan: Geeet

Maan gets angry...

Geet bahut hi dar jaathi...

Maan: mein sirf ek cube letha hoon

Geet: kya?

Geet panics...she grabs the mug from Maan...

Geet: lao, mein achchi coffe banakke aathi

Maan is shocked and the coffe spills over his shirt...

Geet aur pareshaan ho jaathi...

She tries to wipe it off with her dupatta and Maan tries tokeep her away...

Maan: geeet, Geeet

She is not listening...

Maan holds her and stops her...

Maan: rukh jao

Geet then stops and looks at him...

Maan is very angry and his eyes are red like the burningsun...

Maan: Geeet, tum yahan aathi toh aaise hi gadbad hothi,issiliye kehtha hoon ki tum mujhse dhoor raho, samjhi tum? Ab jao yahan se

Geet is very upset on hearing this...

She starts crying...she can't bear the fact that Maanwants her to stay away from him...that hurts her very much...

She runs away from there crying...

Next day...

Geet comes earlier in the morning and she enters thelift...

Maan has just come and he is heading towards the lift...

Geet puts her legs just as Adi used to do to open thedoors...

Geet: Maan sir, jaldhi aao

Maan looks at her and stares for a while...

He then turns back and takes the steps...

Geet ko bahut bhura lagtha...ab meinne aaise bhi kyagalthi kardhi?

Maan sir mujhe dekhthe hi aaise kyun bhaagthe?

Woh abhi bhi mujhse naraaz hai?

Hey babaji! Ye kya ho raha hai?

Geet then decides that she will not disturb Maanhereafter...

Though Adi and Pinky find ways to make Geet interact withMaan, Geet refuses to meet Maan...

She looks worried and upset all day...

Pinky tries to cheer her up but Geet feels like a neglectedchild...like an unwanted child whom no one likes and no one loves &cares...she feels that she has become a burden for Maan...

Geet thinks that she has been a burden for everyone from herchildhood, to her mausi, to her papaji, and now to Maan...

No one wants her and no one needs her...

Though she has never felt so lonely before now the neglectof one person, MSK, makes her feel that she is not welcomed by the whole worldand she is shouldn't be here...

Babaji, ye aap kya kar rahe ho mere saath? Yahan koi mujhenahi chahatha, aur mein kahan jaaoon ab?

Aaise kissi ke sahare mein aakhir kitne din jee sakthi?

Maan accidentally gets to see Geet's projects...

He finds many of the initial plans changed, and this is justcrap, this plan makes no sense at all...

How will it make any sense to MSK, the business man, thebuilder...

B'coz it's the wishes of the aam aadmi, the poor man whoseonly dream is to own a small house for himself atlast, the one who has beensaving all his life just for this...

Geet understands that poor man's dreams better, for sheknows the value of every penny, she knows the value of owning a place of yourown,for she has nothing of her own...

This project is aiming to help the poor think about a houseof their own too, encourage them to dream of their own home, targeting thepeople who are still renting homes, help them own a house in that rent amountand Geet's vision of a home shuns the over sized bed room, utility, or theseparate living, dinning and study concept, it aims at bringing the familytogether just like they live in her villages, with a spacious hall toaccommodate everyone, where they can share their dinner as a family, chat and havefum as a family and spend time together in the not so big sit outs, watchingthe sun shine and the rain pour, eating garam garam pakode and sipping theirevening chai...

This is just opp to the urban living of master bed room forthe head of the family, and separate bed rooms for every other member...andone for the guest...

And having separate working areas and utilities in thekitchen one for the m'am sab and one for the kaam wali bhai...

Geet being an outsider she just thinks about the needs ofthe aam aadmi, which the MSK the business tycoon would never understand...

Maan rejects it as rubbish and thinks that Mr.Sharma willmake a mockery of KC as he had already stated that KC has quoted higher thanthe others and so he will think that this is their way of cutting short theexpenses...

But the idea here is to make it most economical so that morepeople could afford a house of thie own...

And that's what Geet has worked on...Rahul too encouragedher and appreciated her for that...

But MSK is always different, he thinks that it's a prestigeissue for KC...and this is lowering KC's standards...he always thinks big and sohe is unable to relate to this project...

He gets angry and wants this to be scratched right away...

He calls Geet to his cabin...
