PART 12

Late in the afternoon, Geet calls her university and she was given an appointment for 7:00-8:00 PM to meet one of the faculties who will guide her throughout the curriculum.

The office working hours are over and all staff are out of office by 6:00 PM. Pinky comes to Geet's Cabin munching Apple...

P: Arre Geet...tu chal nahin rahin hain? (Hey Geet...Are'nt you leaving from here now?)

G: Nahin Pinky...I have to be in University around 7:00 PM. Its better I finish this task today. I'll leave from office around 6:30 PM. I have checked with the security guy and there seems to be no problem

P: Oh..Challo then...you take care...See you at dinner.

Geet thinks...Its just 6:00 PM now...let me have a short nap will set an alaram in my mobile so that it rings at 6:25 PM....and gets into a deep sleep as it was her first day of work and too tired. The alarm rings at 6:25 PM but Geet presses "Red" button instead of "Snooze" by mistake.

Maan was away for a meeting and just back to office..Its around 6:40 PM and sees the light in the next cabin is still on...and shocked to See Geet who is seated on her chair and in deep sleep

Oops she was looking even more innocent and beautiful while asleep...He could'nt help letting his mind loose and just looking back at he. He gets closer to her and notices some strands of hair was falling on eyes and cheeks and disturbing his view...invariably his hand gets drawn to her face so that he can push those hair strands and there's immediate knock within him. Maan...what are you trying to do? Huh...Now, just wake her up...

He tries to wake her up by calling her and by patting on her shoulder lightly...she didn't wake up.

Finally, He had to call her name loudly and shakes her by holding his hand on her shoulder...GEEETIKA!!!

She doesn't know what happened...she jumps out of her seat and almost fell on Maan...Maan holds both her hands...her eyes still closed tightly which she slowly opens to look into Maan's eyes again...Her eyes just soo fresh as she just had a nap.

She looks at his eyes with all confusions...Both lost deep into each-other's vision until realization strikes them and both slowly drift apart.

G ST: Ayyo...naanum ivarum ippo officela thaniya irukome. Ippo naan enna seyya? (Oh no..we both are in office all alone. What shall I do now?). She still has this fear in the back of her mind that he would take revenge for that incident 2 years ago and that too this turns out to be a golden opportunity for him as no one else is available in office right now. Hence his hold on her is sending a rush of shivers and fears within her.

M: What are you doing in Office at this point of time? Were'nt you suppose to leave at 6:00 PM.

Geet takes long sigh of relief as all what she feared didnt happen. She composes and replies to him

G: Sir...I have to visit Delhi University where I have just started with my MBA program. my appointment fixed with my faculty today at 7:00 PM. So, I was planning to leave office at 6:30 PM.

M: Can you check the time now? Geet all shocked to see the time on her mobile...it was 6:45 PM already.

G: Oh no...I'm going to be late now...😨

Maan is confused...I am also going to leave now...should I drop her to the university? No No Maan Dont bother...she will manage thro Taxi...NO NO..😖

M: YES...you will be late...But I can manage to drop you on time

Geet was not prepared for this...😳

G: SIR...Its ok...I'll manage myself..and gets ready to leave.

M: I said you are already late and I will drop you

G: SIR I'm fine...I'll manage...I dont want to trouble you

M: Its ok Ms. Geetika...Anyways, the university comes on the way to my home.

She had no reason to argue now...and she simply agrees even though she was not comfortable.

They both take their respective seats on the backseats of the car. His office driver drives the car.

There is pin drop silence...

G: Not able to understand this Man...Angry at times...Helpful at times

M: I didn't want to drop her...but why did I decide otherwise and also forced her...Yeh mujhe kya ho raha hain? 😳(What's happening to me?)

Their silence breaks when there is a sudden break...Geet's face hits Maan's shoulders during this process...Her heart is beating faster and he could feel her warm breath on his shoulder.

They slowly break out of the semi-hug position that they have got into and lost deep in a eyelock. They were pushed out of their world hearing the driver talk and got back to their respective positions. 😣

Driver: Sorry sir...there was a car which overtook us all of a sudden and I had to put this break to take control.

G: Idhu innaiku Moonavadhu darava idichadhu...Bhagavaane...ivar ennapatthi edhuvum tappa ninaika koodadhu 😣 (This is the third time I banged on him. Babaji..Hope he doesnt mistake me)

Finally she gets droped at the doorstep of her university entrance sharp at 7:00 PM. She gets down from the Car

G: Thank You Sir 😊

Maan is busy reading messages on his mobile and pretending he didn't listened to her. He listed but was not prepared to say "Welcome"...MSK Attitude 😂

Geet meets Mr. Sinha, faculty who will guide her thro out the curriculum. He was very understanding and told her to at least allot one hour daily for her studies and make list of doubts that she has and they shall meet twice or thrice during weekdays or weekends. He gave her the timetable for subjects which she needs to strictly follow. And then there will be many big and small project works which she will need to submit from time to time...for which Mr. Sinha assured to help her.

Geet reaches home around 8:15 PM. She is all happy that her day went so well at office and the University staff and Faculty are also helpful. She finds her life to move into a different dimension and she is happy for this.

Geet and Pinky @ dinner table..

She was lost in all thoughts...She had some fears about Maan but that seems to have vanished by now.

P: Oye Geet...Kin Khayalon mein khoyi huvi hain? (Where are you lost?)

G: I was thinking about TODAY...it was the beginning of my new life and everything went smoothly.

P: Haan yaar...I could see that you were so busy on the first day itself...You didn't accompany me for a burger and coffee...and makes a serious baby face...😒 (😂)

G: Kya Karoon Pinky...Maan Sir had assigned me with lot of work...😓

P: Arreee haan...yeh tho batao...How did you find working with Maan Sir?😉

G: Oh yah...he is a DD... "DEER DEVIL" gave me lot of work to do and expected it to finish within 15 mins...and...and he scolded me for silly mistake. 😡

P: Arre yaar...All girls call him "Dhak Dhak" and you are calling him "Deer Devil". Bhagwan ne na tujhe badi fursat se banaya hain...(God has made you out of his free time)

Geet makes a cute angry Baby face

G: Aur Haan...he also has a nice person hidden somewhere within him...he listened to my Point Of View for one of the projects which we discussed during the meeting and appreciated it...also, he told Sasha not to interfere...And...you know something...he dropped me till the university today.

P: KYA? Pinky all excited and finished one pack of chips at one go...Maan Sir offered to drop you till University? He never does this and has never helped anyone in such a manner...I am surprised 😮

G: Wohi tho 😊!!! Pinky...I have a burden in my heart ever since I slapped Maan Sir on that day. You know na..I came back to the same location so that I could apologise him. Now I found him...I want to tell him SORRY for that day's behaviour.

P: GEET...Tu pagal ho gayi hain kya? (Have you gone mad?) This incident happened 2 years back and it will look funny if you apologize now.

G: I understand Pinky...but what shall I do if I am getting this chance after 2 years 😣

P: Tik hain..Lets work it out tomorrow...Tu kal Maan Sir Se SORRY bolegi (You will tell him SORRY tomorrow) ...And this should happen TOMORROW...Is it done? 👍

G: DONE 👍

Precap: Lets say...Geet's second day @ office 😉
