Chapter 56

                                           Part - 56

Geet: "Love Palace" isska ye matlab nahi hai ki ye koi Raja ka Mahal ho, ye aaisa place hoga jahan pyaar ka raj hoga, haina uncle?

Ye kya baatein kar rahi hai? ye toh Maan kuch samaj nahi patha, par uncle ko yahi chahiye

Maan: Geet, ye koi kahaani nahi, ya koi film ka set, samjhi tum? Real life mein aur reel life mein aasmaan aur zameen ka farak hai

Maan tease her dreamy nature but Geet believes in her dreams so much that she doesn't see any difference in them...

Geet: par sir, pyaar toh sirf filmon mein hi nahi hotha, pyaar toh hummare beech mein bhi hothha hai, haina Khrish?

Geet is just looking at Maan and Maan only ...

Geet is lost in her Khrish...all keep looking at them only including uncle...

Adi tries to get her back to reality...

Adi: Geet, ha ha ha ha ha ha, Geeet

She says it with her eyes fixed on Maan...Maan feels embarrassed...

Maan: Geeet ye koi faltu ki love story nahi hai, samjhi tum?

Maan glares and Geet is scared this time...he had warned her not to call him Khrish at KC, haina?

Then how did she do that?

Geet becomes nervous and she couldn't continue...she struggles to face everyone...

She looks for help from her Khrish but it's of no use, his eyes are burning in anger and she has no escape it seems...poor Geet...ye kahan pasgayi?

Geet looks up...babaji, sirf ek bar mera madat karna? Please mujhe aaj bachana

Maan: Geet, lets wrap up your story time ands sasha please take over

Sasha gets up but uncle asks her to sit back...

Maan is surprised...

Uncle feels pity for Geet...

Uncle: let her finish Maan

Maan is happy that uncle didn't call him by his nickname in front of everyone, but uncle knows it's Maan's office and he is the boss here, but when Geet was there uncle felt like family and called Maan "bablu"...

Uncle looks at Geet and assures that he believes in her...

Uncle: it's very interesting, you continue Geet beta, I think U know what I want

 Geet is relieved, she sighs and continues...

Geet: ye ghar do pyar karnewalein ki sapnon se aajaye hayega, yahan ki har cheez unki pyar ki batein karega, aur ye aaisa jagah hai jahan woh apne pyar ki buniyad ej naya rishta banayenge, aur uss nayi safar ki shuruwaad woh issi ghar mein karenge, issiliye uncle chahathe hai ki ye aaisa ho ki wahan jahan bhi jaye unko sirf pyar hi pyar nazar aaye

Uncle gives a standing ovation...

Uncle: wah beta, aap ne toh meri mann ki baat sabke samne itni asaani se rakhdhi, warna mujhe nahi kagtha ye log mere zaroorat ko kabhi samajh pathe, come on people, she deserves a huge round of applause

Everyone stands and claps while Maan is still not ready to accept Geet as his secretary...

Yuncle: bablu, tum kya sochthe ho? yahi na ki tum kitne lucky ho ki tumme aaise samjhdar aur kubsoorat secretary milli

Maan also stands and wishes Geet...gud job

He had to do it for uncle atleast...

Uncle: so, I'm in a hurry now, I'll be back in a week and let's finalize the designs then, ek hafte mein kaam ho jayega na?

Uncle looks at Geet and asks...

Geet replies immediately...: ho jayega sir

But Maan is skeptical about taking up this one, he is confused if they can take up this, his men are used to commercial building and this might not be challenging or satisfying even for Maan, he knows a friend who has just started his own concern and he is pretty eager to make an impression, he must have the patience and commitment to fulfill uncle's dream...moreover Maan doesn't want to disappoint uncle who is so much excited about this project...

And for Maan this is only business and he doesn't get emotionalyy attached to material things, he is not even attached to people let alone a dream hime as uncle suggests...

Maan is not at all interested, he is thinking about how to convince uncle that his friend would do a better job than KC

Maan: uncle, toh hum chlathe hai, Dadi must be waiting for you

Maan takes him to KM for lunch...

After Maan's father left and Maan took over, Mr.Saxena hardly had any business with them for he moved to UK for his business and has been living abroad for the past 25 yrs, he was the first to offer a business for Mr.Khurana senior when he started KC...

And they became friends soon, Mr.Saxena has helped Khuranaji by recommending him to his family and friends and as everyone liked KC's work it bloomed early so did their friendship...

Then Mr.Saxena left to London and after 25 years he has returned to his homeland...

He has come back to settle here itself and so he might be thinking of his own house now...for their old house might not be suited for them now, they are used to the uber British style now...

Sasha had prepared some ultra modern designs with all latest amenties including a roof top pool, gym, mini theatre, office space, small party hall and everything that a business magnet like Mr.Saxena might need...

Maan also thought that it should be gud enough for Mr.Saxena ...

But Mr.Saxena is not at all satisfied, he wants to gift a house for his son's wedding and he wants it to be novel, unique and beautiful, more like a TajMahal...

KC is known for it's big commercial ventures but not used to dream houses, that too for a newly wed couple who want to start their life at this so called love palace, that's what Mr.Saxena calls it...

And they have come to the wrong person, if you want extravagant, efficient, economical , energy conserving structures then Maan is the right choice...

But this subject is not for him, and he hates it at present more than anytime...

Geet is so excited about this for she is the dreamy here, she has been designing her own humble little versions of a dream home for herself and Khrish...

Abhi toh lagtha hai ki Khrish ke saath ghar basana bahut dhoor ki baat hai...

Geet uses every opportunity to impress her Khrish and she takes up this challenge not for Mr.Saxena but for her Khrish, Adi is on the denial mode for he doesn't see anything that could convince Maan sir in this miniature project, given the scale of KC's projects this one looks like a miniature only...

But Dadima insists that they have to take up this project for Mr.Saxena who has been their very old client and also more of a friend for Maan's father, Mr.Mathan Khurana...

Maan had no other choice but to accept it...he has completely ignored it from the beginning and asked Adi and the head-architect Sasha to take care of this for this is not upto MSK's level...maybe this one is for beginners like Geet...

Sasha had just got an ordinary plan for that which even Maan rejected and he asked them to come up with a new and refreshing one...

Sasha is used to stealing ideas from everywhere and this looked disgusting...

She believed that this one is not such a big deal and never gave any importance to it...

When Maan rejected her whole plan and asked her to start from scratch for nothing was right in that Sasha felt like she had been wasting her time and energy for such a useless project which even MSK is not interested and is doing for Dadima only, Sasha took a week's break to concentrate on much bigger and worthy deals...

And she is on sick leave today...

Uncle has called last night and said that he is coming this morning as his job got over earler itself and he is eager to get started with the project roght away...

Maan tells Adi to keep everything ready and Adi is tensed as Sasha is on leave and nothing is ready...

Maan gets angry and he is all the more concerned as it is his Saxy uncle's dream project, how could they be so irresponsib;e, Maan should be blaming himself for he ignored it completely as Geet got involved in this and he wanted to stay away fro her...

Maan: Adi, design ahan hai, blue print abhi tak tayaar nahi hui? Aur ye kaya hai? isse presentation kehthe hai?

Adi: par Sir, Saxena sir toh Friday aanewale the

Maan: so what? U wait for the last minute to do everything?

Adi: aur sasha bhi leave mein hai

Maan: what?

Di: ji sir, and she has not yet finished the designs sir

Maan: ab uncle ko kya dikahyenge

Adi: sir mere paas ek idea hai

Maan: ab MSK ko kiss kisska idea sunne padega?

Adi: ha ha ha ha ha

Maan: Adi, be serious, what do you think?

Adi: sir, one person can help us sir

Maan: kaun?

Adi hesitates...Maan has been pissed off with Geet all week and poor Geet has been having a tough time handling her new job, poor her, she is just now learning to take dictations and organizing the schedules of MSK...

And to add to her worries Maan has asked her to sort all the files from the last 10 years as he wants to do some research, this he has done only to keep Geet engaged so that he cab work in peace alone without her disaturbance...

Geet has been spending her days only at the store room these days...

Adi: Ge ge ge Geet sir

Maan is shocked...: Adi, have you lost it? Geet kya kar sakthi?

Adi: sir uss din bhi Geet ke ideas Saxena sir ko nahut pasand aaya sir, ab Geet ke madat se ye kaam kar sakthe hai sir

Maan: par Geet kuch nahi jaathi, I mean she is new

Maan meant her mEntal ability is questionable...

Adi: ha ha ha ha ha

Maan: Adiii

Adi: haan sir, aap se zyada smart thodi nahi hai, mein chaltha hoon sir

Maan: aur ye kaam?

Adi: aap haina sir?

Maan knows Geet would be the right choice for this, and it's definitely not his kind of job...

Maan: teek ha teek hai, Geet ko bhulao, humme ye kaam jaldh se jaldh katam karna hoga, uncle would be here at 1 pm
