Chapter 24

                Part – 23

That night Geet goes to Dadima’s room and gets her advice, dadi is the perfect matchmaker na?

She knows all the gsmeplans to defeat her potha….

After getting Dadi’s advice, Geet is pretty confident…

Geet: good night Dadima

Dadi: good night and all the very best Geet

Geet: thanks Dadima, if possible please advise your potha too

Dadi: I have hired you for that, now Maan is fully your responsibility

Geet: nice way to escape

Dadi: but I’m confident that Maan can’t escape this time

Geet: hope so, bye

Next morning….

Geet doesn’t go to Maan’s tai chi session and also doesn’t bother to trouble him in his room …

Maan is one way relieved but missing her morning masala tadka on the other hand…

Maan is worried if something is wrong with her, or else she won’t leave any chance to torture him…

Maan goes to the OH to find out what the matter is…

Geet is standing in the varandha and drying out her wet hair…

Maan could stand there and keep admiring her all day…

Maan is happy that he is not going to KC with this dangerously beautiful witch, who has already started casting her magical spell on him, today…

He has got to go to the inauguration…

Maan is ready and so is Geet…

Geet is all dressed up for the function…

Geet comes running as she is afraid that she must be late and Maan would leave without her…

Maan keeps watching her coming towards him… he can’t take his eyes off her…

She looks uber cool in that black and white pencil dress… selection toh Dadima ka haina!!

Geet: Maan, Maan

She has come so near him that he could hear her heart beats… she stops at the verge of crashing on him…

Maan cautiously steps back…

He lets her calm down a bit…

He has not watched her enough… so he is looking at her…

Geet: I thought you would leave me and go

Maan: don’t worry Geet, the driver will wait for you, there is no hurry

Geet: but I’m coming with you

Maan: I’m not going to KC

Geet: neither am I

Maan: what?

Geet: aaj Mr. Khanna ka inauguration haina?

Maan is shocked that she is always a step ahead of him…

Maan: no ways, you are not coming there with me?

Geet: yes, I’m

Maan: no one knows you there

Geet: they will get to know MSK’s secretary

Maan: secretary’s job is at the office

Geet: I’m your personal secretary, I have to be with you always, that’s dadima’s orders, understood?

Maan doesn’t want to waste his energy arguing with her, he knows he can never convince her …

Maan starts walking while Geet follows him proudly…

At the function everyone is curious to know who the alluring beauty accompanying Maan Singh Khurana is…

Mr. khanna comes to welcome Maan…

Khanna: aao aao Maan, you are on time as always, even a clock could miss the time but not Maan

Mr. Khanna is talking to Maan but his eyes are on Geet only…

Maan: this is Geet, she is an intern who has to learn about our business

Maan can’t be roaming around in his business circles with his secretary, no no, personal secretary… that too a hot hot girl who is just out of college…

Within minutes Maan is surrounded by other collaborators congratulating him and talking with him about doing business with him…

Geet keeps watching Maan as she doesn’t know anyone in the crowd…

Maan looks around and finds Adi…

Maan signals Adi to look after Geet….

Adi comes and takes Geet in…

Adi: Geet, tum yahan?

Geet: Pinky kahan hai?

Adi: she didn’t come

Geet: I asked her to

Adi: usually office staff don’t attend these things, their work is confined to the office

Geet: so I’m the uninvited guest here

Geet knows that already…

Adi: nothing like that, you are Maan sir’s personal secretary, you are welcome everywhere

Geet: that sounds better

Geet’s still looking at Maan only ..

Maan goes and meets someone…

Maan greets him with a hug…

Must be someone from business….

Maan is talking with that tall guy for a long time…

Geet keeps watching them…. Who is that? Maan is unusually talking happily with someone from business… that’s impossible, he must be someone close to Maan…

Geet has to take note of this guy… Geet keeps an eye on him…

As Geet is watching Maan and the other guy alternately, Maan hugs him…. He too seems happy to see Maan…

Maan: what a pleasant surprise man, when did you come back from US?

Tall guy: just a couple of days back

Maan: why didn’t you come home then?

T.guy: you know how mom is, it took me two days to get out of the house, she kept me busy eating and sleeping as if I’m a child

Maan: aunty was missing you a lot

T.guy: what about you?

Maan: I too missed you more than anyone else

T.guy: I know, we need to catch up, I’ll come home soon

Maan: haan, dadi will be happy to see you

Maan then moves to meet some one else…

Geet couldn’t belive it…

Maan is talking to a young lady who is pretty ….

Geet: Adi, woh kaun hai?

Adi: oh, that is Ms.Payal kaur

Geet: Ms?

Adi: she is one of our business partners at Gurgaon

Geet: business partner?

She seemed to be liking Maan more than just as a business partner… she is laughing too much…

Geet doesn’t like her at all… look how she is flirting with Maan…

She is all over Maan…

Why is Maan talking to her?

Doesn’t he know her intentions?

Maan is only concerned about Geet’s closeness? why isn’t he bothered now?

Geet doesn’t know that both are different, others closeness doesn’t have any effect on Maan while Geet’s closeness affects Maan pretty badly…

Geet can sense the vibes even from a distance…

Geet hates it, why is Maan maintaining his famous social distancing with women now? Just because this woman is pretty? Is she more beautiful than Geet?

Geet starts to panic… she planned to impress Maan and now Maan is impressed by that stupid girl?

Geet is feeling jealous… Maan knows that too….
