Hello Everyone.... Part 9...here it goes...
PART 9
GEET is still in a state of Shock
OYE GEEET...Congrats dear ...you have made it...Yells Pinky by shaking Geet and trying hard to bring her back to her true sences...
Geet gives a tight hug to Pinky...Pinkyyy...I've got the job and there is a biiig smile & excitement on her face.
P: So...Its time to party
Geet was gigling at pinky's excitement. Aadi was enjoying witnessing Geet and Pinky's crazy antics.
G: Aadi sir...thank you so much.
A: Geet...why do you need to thank me in first place?
G: Because you have been very kind and encouraging..
A: Mmm hmm...You got this job purely based on your performance...so, you are the one who is responsible and you proved it that you deserve this. Now, you need to sign the offer letter and complete all the initial formalities
Aadi takes Geet to the interview room again. Gives her the offer letter and a list of strict rules and regulations which every employer need to understand before joining KC.
It had certain set of common rules such as work is priority...do not interfere in other's business, punctuality is a must, no carelessness will be entertained with regard to work. Company/project details need to be kept strictly confidential...No leave will be granted till the confirmation period i.e 3 months...all these are the common ones but it also had one strange rule which put Geet into a confusion...
Geet reads it out...No employee will visit the MD's home premises until and unless they have been invited or called on emergency grounds.
Geet felt strange about this rule. Aadi sir...I didn't understand why this rule?
A: This is the strict rule by the MD. Nobody dared to know the reason why. By the way, I am the only person authorised to visit his home.
G: Oh...Then there should be some valid reason...may be some security related issue. Geet says with a positive note.
A: The working hours will be 9:00 AM -6:00 PM. So, be here sharp at 9:00 AM tomorrow morning.
G: Sure sir.
Geet comes back to the reception..Pinky, Its just 2:00 PM now. I will go to university and finish with some formalities. Pinky...I need to visit few places in the evening. Will you come with me?
P: Kya yaar? Pooch Mat...Order kar...Haan... I'll also take you to one chat shop. I love their chat varieties...especially Samosas...
Geet smiles at her plight ...sure dear...chalo then, see you in the evening...Geet bids bye to Pinky and Aadi before leaving from KC office.
Geet has lot of tasks to complete. To begin with...she visits the university where she is doing her MBA...meets her Dean and explains the situation that she needs to study and work at the same time which they have already agreed upon. She gives them a copy of her offer letter which will go to her student administration file. The dean and concerned authority were very understanding and offered her full support. Geet was told that she need to be on constant touch with them either by email/mobile so that she gets to know the progress of her course, faculty's availability, project details from time to time. She collected the study and course materials for the first semester.
In the evening, Geet and Pinky visit few places...to begin with, Geet wanted to go to a temple near by. Pinky took her to the near by Ganesh Temple. It was a nice temple fully built in white marble...and had a peaceful atmosphere.
Bhagawane...Ellathukum romba nandri...Ivalavu seekaram enaku velai kidaikumnu edirparkave illai...ellam ungal deivu (Babaji...Thanks for everything...Never expected to get a job this soon...It all happened with your blessing)
Geet had planned to buy a local mobile sim after she gets a suitable job. So, now its a priority for her to interact with her family and near & dear ones and also with her university staff. Pinky helped her out with this and with other key essentials.
Geet makes her first call from her mobile to her family...informs her Appa-Amma about the good news...have a sweet talk with Rajji. All are very happy for her and wished her GOOD LUCK! As usual, her Gopal Anna (brother) was not available to talk to her. 😔
The second call goes to Venkat uncle. Venkat was quite happy and offered all help that he can. wished her with all positives and finishes the call with a note to stay in touch. 👍
The third call goes to her cousin Bhuvana. She shares her excitement and also tells her who her new boss is...Bhuvana has a shock of her life.
B: Geetika, are you sure its HIM?
G: Aamam di.. (Yes Re)
Bhuvana recalls all that happened in chennai and finally that person has shown up and he is none other than Geet's boss...Bhuvana is really confused on how to react on this...
B: Ippo nee enna seivai? (What will you do now?)
G: Enna Seiyamudiyum? That day in chennai, I didnt know that stranger's identity and today, I am aware of it and he is none other than my would be boss...That's it.
Bhuvana is really amused with Geet's casual behaviour now...She knows Geet had developed some soft corner for that stranger. It seems she is groomed to be a different person altogether now...this is the effect of all that happened six months back as today, she is behaving so casual after knowing that stranger's identity. and he is none other than her new boss?? ...oh ghosh!! anyways, what Bhuvana or Geet can do about it? She prays to god within that Geet should not face anymore trouble in her future life.
B: Edhukkum nee konjam jagradhaiya irru... (Any which ways, be careful) Do keep in touch ok?)
G: Sure dear.
B: All the best for the new phase of your life.
G: Thanks Di.. 😊
Geet-Pinky finishing with dinner...Even though Geet behaved casual with Bhuvana...only she knows what she has been going through since the time she has met him again. There were times when she was restless to get one glimpse of that stranger again. Even though she knew its just next to impossible, she couldn't console her heart that easily. Thanks to the incident that happened 6 months ago that diverted her life to a different boat...and invariably those restless thoughts somehow vanished. But today, her faded memories got freshen up when he stood right in front of her and she is feeling a strange shiver with the very thought of facing him day in and day out now... and what's going on in his mind? Did he choose her for this job based on her interview performance or he select her so that he can take his revenge? She is all confused thinking about Maan and the incident happened 2 years ago..and then she looks at her right hand which he happen to hold tight..Yen ennoda kayya appidi pidichanga?? (Why did he hold my hand like this?) she is a little worried if he has offered this job to punish her? Chi chi Bhagawane...Appadiellam edhuvum irukadu (Chi Chi Babaji...It cant be possible).
Pinky finds Geet to be lost in a different world now...
P: Geet...What happened? All fine?
G: Hmm..Bit tensed
P: Why are you tensed now? Oh..you are tensed about the new job? Stay cool yaar...Me and Aadi are always there to help.
Geet holds pinky's hand and smiles... I am really really thankful to you dear for all your support and help.
P: Kya Geet? Will I have just contributed a bit of my help for my friend. That's it. By the way, I don't intend to scare you by saying this...Its just a beginning dear...its very tough to work with boss. Remember that and you need to work to the level of his expectations otherwise you are OUT.
Geet gulps....she is still terrified with what she has done 2 years back and how come he never reacted on that day. And today, she came to know that he is such a big shot. She is hesitant to discuss anything furhter on this with Pinky and confuse her as well. Geet makes up her mind to take the situation as it comes. She looks up cutely...Bhagawane Kaapathu (Babaji, be with me)
At Khurana Mansion:
Maan enters the Mansion...All full of thoughts with the events happened in Office today...and this brought a smile on his face without his own knowledge.
Daadima didn't miss it...Arre Maan Bete...Aap tho bade khush nazar aa rahe hain aaj? Kitne din hogaye aap ko is tarah muskurathe huve dekhkar.. (You seem to be so happy today...Its been quite some time that I got to see you smile like this).Now tell me...what so special happened today that has ended with a smile on my Grandson's face?
Maan gets a little alerted now. He doesnt want to show any sign. Eisa kuch nahin dadima...it was a usual day like it has always been. He changes the topic...Dev ne call kiya? Woh kab wapis aaraha hain Canada se? (Did Dev call you? When is he coming back from Canada?)
Haan...kiya tha na..woh ek hafthe main aaraha hain. (Yes he did...he is coming back within a week's time)
Hmm...and he leaves from there...goes to his room and gets ready for his tai-chi session.
All he remembers was about that girl from Chennai...No No Bangalore...Whatever...2 long years and I get to see her again and that too in my office. Now that he knows her name...GEETIKA...GEET...A smile touches his lips again...He was thinking about this girl all these 2 years and failed to control his thoughts. Now...here she comes in front of him again...that too in a saree...He closes his eyes and he could imagine her again with the same saree...Oops..she was looking WOW in that dark colored Saree... he rolls his eyes Wondering what's happening to him...why did he hold her hand and why did he challenge her to slap him once again? And her face was glowing even more when it turned all pink and red with fear and embarrassment. Oh my goodness...she was there to attend an interview and All this happened beyond his own control...Why? Why he couldn't control himself? his lips adorns with a smile.... He stops with his kick boxing and rests his head on the kick box sack...NO..NO Maan control yourself...The smile in his face vanishes all of a sudden.
She is just a new employee of Khurana Constructions now and that's it...and console his mind and soul by saying this. He was feeling a bit odd with Daadima's observations. No...I have to maintain myself with this Stiff Image and I will not change it at any cost...MAAN SINGH KHURANA will never change... And that too for a girl...No Ways...Says it with a serious attitude.
Precap: Geet's first day @ Office 😉😊
