Thank you guys for your lovely comments! :)
Untouched Yaadain:
Part 17:
The morning light peeked through the open window, showering its rays on them two, nearly blinding them. Maan rubs his eyes, and cause of too much movement Geet wakes up. Blushing, as seeing him laying there with her.
"Good Morning." Maan utters.
In reply Geet just smiles. She gets up to go to the bathroom, right then Maan pulls her back with all his might. Shocked as she was, she kept on looking down.
"Kidher ja rahi ho?" Maan sorta demanding.
"J-ji?"
"Mere good morning ka reply kyun nahin kiya?"
"Kiya to tha! Smile nahin di thi."
"Smile is not enough. I need words." Geet tries her best to free her hand from his grasp.
"Maan! Chodo na!"
"Not until you reply appropriately." Geet rolls her eyes and Maan smirks.
"Fine! Good morning! Khush?! Ab chodo na!" Maan still holding on to her, smiles.
"Yeh kaisa Good morning hai? Pyaar se kaho na." Geet just looks at him. Did he just??
"Kya? P-pyaar se?"
"Kyun? Main insaan nahin hoon, kutta hoon kya? Jisse pyaar se baat nahin ker rahi tum."
"Kutta? The business tycoon Maan Singh Khurana called himself a Kutta?!" Geet tries to hide her laugh, but still bursts out in laughter. Flustered Maan stares at her. What's gotten in to you Maan? Apne aap ko kutta keh raha hai?? He slowly lets go of her hand and Geet makes a run for it in to the bathroom. Maan runs after her but too late. She locks the door. Maan punches the door.
"Geet darwaza kholo!"
"Nahin!"
"Listen Geet, tumne mujhe abhi sahi tarha se Good Morning nahin diya!"
"Nahin doon gi! Kabhi nahin doon gi!"
"OWWW!!" Maan screams.
Scared Geet goes out to investigate. But she ends up seeing Maan standing before her eyes, arms folded and smirking. Geet makes a complete O face. Before she can run back in the bathroom, Maan catches her arm and pushes her in to a nearby wall.
"Ab kaise bagho gi." Maan manages to say while he's half lost in her. Geet gives in.
"Maan please jaane do na. Aaj conference hai na? Tayyari nahin kerni?"
"Aik simple sa pyaara sa good morning maanga tha woh bhi nahin diya."
"Aap yeh sab kyun ker rahay ho? Pehle to aise nahin the."
"Tumhe abhi tak samajh nahin aaya Geet. Tumhara movies daikhne ka kya faida huwa phir?"
"Maan. Please mujhe jaane dijiye. Yeh sahi nahi hai."
"Geet.. Kyun ke main..."
knock-knock
A door knock disturbs their moment. They part away nervously. Maan goes to open the door. Adi, Sasha, and Pinky were standing with their best smiles.
"Good Morning MK." Sasha greets.
"Hmm. Good Morning. So tum log aa gaye? Good."
"S-sir ab humain kya kerna ho ga?"
"Conference aaj raat ko hai, so we must prepare for it. Jaa ker preparations kero conference ke liye. And no mistakes!"
"Right sir.." They all leave. By the time Maan goes back in the room, Geet has disappeared, trying to hide her embarrassment in the bathroom, hoping the water will suck it all.
"Bhot jald Geet, you'll know why." Maan says it to the empty room.
-------------------------------
By 6:30 pm, everything was done and ready to go. The event started at 7. Geet looking nervously here and there at the conference hall, looking for Maan. She suddenly felt uncomfortable without him. Just once! Just once, she wanted to see him, so she could soothe her ongoing uneasiness and nervousness. Sirf kuch dair ke liye aap meri nazron se idher udher huwe to meri yeh halat ho rahi hai, jab 2 mahinen khatam hon gain aur hum tab alag ho jain gain, Maan aap ke baghair mera kya ho ga? Main kya keroon gi? Oh God, please help me. Yeh feelings abhi khatam ker dain takke future mai mera nuksaan na ho jaye. Geet standing in the corner of the conference hall, vacantly looking for Maan.
Unaware of the fact, Maan was already watching her from the balcony of the conference hall. He could sense something was wrong with Geet but didn't know exactly what was going on in her mind or heart. He wanted to go to her, hold her, soothe her. Whatever she's fighting with, he'll help her fight. Together, for once, we'll fight, Geet. Bas aik baar tumari dil ki baat mujhe pata chal jaye, Geet.
He wanted to go up there, but was stopped by Sasha.
"MK, guests are here."
Glancing once back at her, he left to greet the guests.
Meanwhile, Geet still stood at the corner trying to look for him, and Maan stood at the entrance door, greeting his French guests. By 7:00 pm, the conference started.
"MK, don't you think ke welcome speech Geet ko daini chahiye?" Sasha unaware of the fact that Geet could speak english, but still trying to set her up. No matter how much she tried to ignore the jealousy, but it kept on growing, burning her from the inside. But Maan, his face brightened. Finally he'll get to see her talk in front of all those people and that too in confidence. Sasha goes up to Geet and orders her to do the opening speech. Geet's pleads were ignored. Sasha would not have a word of it. Sasha pushed her on the stage. There stood Geet, helplessly, in front of 100+ people, didn't know what to do or to say. Maan observed her from the side. He didn't know she'll end up acting like this.
"Her waqt to bolti rehti hai. Stop ka button hi nahin milta aur ab. Ab kyun chup hai?
"G-good morning." Geet managed to say. She was so nervous that she blurted out the wrong greeting. And so the others got an opportunity to share a laugh at her "joke".
"Good Morning? Woh bhi raat ke 7 baje? Yeh Geet bhi na! Agar nahin kerna tha to mana ker daiti. It's not like anyone was forcing her." Maan murmered to himself. Without waiting for another minute, Maan rouse up to the stage. Geet froze, finally she got to see him.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen." Maan managed to hush the audience.
"Meet my wife, Mrs. Geet Khurana. She has a very humorous personality, always joking around." Claps bursted in the hall. As of Geet, she was more in shock than delightful. She now know for sure that something was up with Maan.
"Geet mujhe baad main ghoor lain, abhi kuch kaho."
Her gaze automatically fell on the audience.
"Good afternoon. I am very delighted to be here. And I welcome you all to the Khurana Constructions Conference." Geet blurted.
Out of nowhere, Geet's confidence came back. It felt like Maan is her charger, as soon as he came closer to her, her confidence knew no bounds.
"I will like to introduce you to Mr. Maan Singh Khurana, The CEO of Khurana Constructions." Again a thunder of claps followed.
"Our motive for today's conference is to introduce you to the company so we can settle our one branch abroad as well. Hope you like today's conference. Now, the CEO, Mr. Khurana, will like to say something."
When exchanging the microphone, Maan presses his hand against hers, smiling.
"Thank you Mrs. Geet."
Geet gets off stage and sits down, still couldn't believe what she have done in front of all those people. Phew..
"So I once again welcome you to the Khurana Constructions Conference in France. First of all I would like you all to have a look at the papers laying on the table. That is the overview of our conference and our future of KC..."
Maan talks non stop about his new branch in France while Geet is just idolizing him, lost in her own fantasy world. Out of no where Maan comes and sits by her, calling her name.
"Geet...Geet!"
"Maine kuch nahin kiya. Maine kuch nahin kiya!"
"To maine kya kaha hai tumhe. Naam laina jurm hai ab."
"Oh. Nahin aisi koi baat nahi hai."
"Conference khatam ho gayi hai, loug bhi ja rahay hain. Hotel chalna hai ya raat idher guzaar ni hai tumne?"
"Nahin to, chaliye na. Mujhe to bhot neend aayi huwi hai."
"Waise kal hamari wapsi hai. Since we are done with the conference and everyone has agreed for opening one of our branch here, ab hamara koi maqsad nahin hai yahan rukne ka."
Geet's face drops. She really wanted to roam around at night in the city of love: Paris.
"Ji. Jaise aap ki marzi."
They both leave.
The End!
