PART 16

Maan is worried now as Geet left one hour before the office closing hours. What if she decided to leave the job without submitting resignation? He didn't know what to do...He visits Delhi University...and enquired about her didn't find her there.

Geet on the other hand leaves from office didn't know what went on her mind...she went to the Ganesh Temple which she visited just before joining KC. She is all angry and in a bad mood. She closed her eyes and joined her hands but she was not praying...she was blasting god.

Bhagawaane...yen ennai ippadi sodikarrai? Naan enna tappu seidhen? Yen ippadi oru jeevan padaicha? Yen Andha "Maan Bootham" ippadi irukan? Ippadiya tittaradhu? Enna pesa kuda vidalai...Naan seitha karyathukku oru nalla varthaiaavachu sollirukkalam...aana ennai kannapinnanu thitti...

(Babaji...why are you testing me like this? What mistake did I do? Why did you create such a creature? Why that deer devil is like that? Is this the way to scold and shout? He didn't even allow me to speak. All I expected is one appreciative word for the work I did...but he scolded me left right and centre...)

Some one has been noticing Geet closely from time she has entered the temple. She was admiring this girl's beauty and innocence added to that and enjoying the way She is complaining with all angry expressions to lord Ganesh in such a way as if he is listening to her demands and about to answer all her questions.

"Arre...Arre...Kyon bechare Ganesh ji pe naaraz ho rahin hain?" (Hey...hey...why are you getting angry on Ganesh Ji?)

Geet turned around to see an old lady...

"Kya hua? Kis ne is phool jaise chehre pe itne gusse ki aag bar di?" (What happened? A face as fresh as flower is now fuming in fiery anger..who is the reason behind this?)

Geet had an unexpected smile on her face...as this old lady reminded her of her own Grandmother.

G: Ji aap?

"Main Savithri Devi" 😊

Namasthe...Main Geethika...Aap mujhe Geet kehkar bula sakthe hain. (Greetings...I am Geetika...you can call me Geet) 😊

"Nice Name dear...I have been coming down to this temple since ages and I have never seen you before. Also, you seem to be new to Delhi...Am I right?"

Sorry...Woh main Geet is not able to get how to address this old lady..it wont be nice to call her with her name. But this old lady was smart in guessing her confusion.

"You can call me Dadima"

Geet was more than happy to call her so..😊

(A/N: Even I will call her Dadima henceforth 😜)

G: You guessed it right Dadima...I have been living in Bangalore...I have come down to Delhi just a week ago. I am here to do my MBA + take up a good job for myself...which did happen with God's blessings. I started working here since yesterday.

D: Oh...so, you are new to Delhi...You seemed to have a different mother tongue...but your Hindi is not bad at all...

G: Dadima...How did you guess?

D: Woh...I just heard you talking to Ganeshji...Even though in a different language, but could understand that you were very angry on Ganeshji...

Geet makes a baby face

D: Is something/someone bothering you?

G: I have only one problem in my life now...MY BOSS...I dont know why he keeps scolding me.She started complaining like a kid..

Dadima was enjoying every bit of it.

G: You know Dadima...In my office everybody address my BOSS as DD

D: DD?

G: Dhak Dhak...says by hitting at her heart..but I have named him...Deer Devil.

Daadima is pretending to be a good listener and also finding it hard to control her laugh. 😂 Deer Devil...All she stressed more on Devil and she was not able to control her laughter anymore. 😂

G: There was a client meeting today and I handled the situation so well during my boss's absence...but my boss...10 headed Ravan...instead of appreciating me...screamed at me and that too in front of my colleagues.

D ST: 10 headed Ravan! I must say this girl is creative with nick naming skills...😅

D: So...why are you getting angry on God?😅

G: Ofcourse...God has created my Boss...so, I have full right to complain...Geet says with an attitude.😏

D: Yeh tho bilkul tik kaha aapne (You are absolutely right)...God has to correct his creation and will definitely do so...dont worry...everything will be fine.

G: Dadima...My boss is very angry with me...I am worried if he kiks me out of this job.

D: No ways dear...you have come to this Ganesh Temple with a trust...and dont let this trust go. Now, Comming to your boss...dont take me wrong...I am just talking my experience and giving you a simple advice as you seem to be a fresher.

Geet is feeling so relaxed and listens to her patiently.

This is your first job right?

Geet nods for a yes cutely.

Dont take your boss's words seriously. All what happens during work its just professional...nothing personal and ofcourse your boss is angry with you with regard to some work related mistake...nothing personal...maybe he was not convinced with your today's task from his point of view. Also, he might have had a tough day to add on to his temper...and you are at the receiving end. When he comes back to his normal mind set, he will surely come to know that what you did today deserves applause. 👏

G: So true Dadima...He was in a bad mood throughout the day...by the way, I have never seen him in a good mood.😯😨

Daadi couldnt help smile at all Geet's observation about her boss and she continues with her advise...

D: Geet..to be successful in your career life...better do not carry your office problems when you leave from office...just lock all your office related problems at your respective cabin before you leave from your office and never look back till the next working day...otherwise, your entire life will become a question mark. Start everyday freshly...dont carry forward what you had faced previous day in the office as this will only increase the burden.

Finally...your boss may not have true senses...but you have true senses in place right?

G: RIGHT dadima...Geet said proudly.

D: So, try to understand and work as per your boss's behaviour...its better for you. Next time when you see him...dont show any anger..I am sure he will feel guilty for what he has told you and may even apologize to you.

G: HAH...my boss and apology...no way.

D: Things may change dear...you never know...trust God. I am sure that we will get to meet here again and you will give me the good news that your boss said "SORRY"

G: Only a miracle will help. Anyways...Its nice to hear this from you. But I am sure that my boss will never tell me this and I dont have high expectations...anyways I will surely follow your advise with regard to my work 100%. Provided I am still considered for this job 😰

D: Nothing will happen dear...as I said, stay cool and positveand leave the rest to Ganeshji.

G: Thank you...Thank you for your support.

D: Anytime dear.

G: And Daadima...you remind me a lot about my own Paati, I mean Grandmother.

D: Really? Where is she now?

Geet is sad and also her eyes are teary. She is no more. She passed away recently. She was suffering from Blood Cancer. I miss her a lot...she was my true inspiration and I would follow her advises blindly. Talking to you...I feel that I have been talking to her.

Dadima pats on her shoulder...I can understand your feeling...nothing can make upto loss of life of close one...but our life need to go on coping up with these losses. I am glad that I could help to some extent.

G: Thank you dadima...Thanks for everything. I have to leave now. See you soon.

D: Bye Beta

Geet moves few feet ahead when Daadi calls her out of curiosity Arre...Aap ne bataya nahin ki aap kahan kaam kar rahin hain? (Hey..you didnt tell me where you are working?)

G: I am working for Khurana Constructions as PA to the MD.

Dadima has a Shock of her life...as if she missed a heart beat...What? Khurana Constructions? 

G: Haan Dadima...Do you know anyone there?

Dadima gulps her saliva...still not out of her shock...Nahin woh...haan...I have heard the name of them...It seems to be one of the best construction groups in India.

G: Right 👍 Ok..bye...See you soon and Geet leaves from there.

Huh...now Dadima is in full confusion... So, Geet is working as a PA to MD of KC?  OMG !! 😱Whatever advise she gave Geet is all void...How can Dadima deny the fact that its not at all easy to work with her ruthless Grandson..."THE MAAN SINGH KHURANA"... And How the hell..Maan and Sorry...no ways. No Wonder Geet was so angry and spitting fire on God and his creation.... And Dadima knows her Grandson so well..if he is really so angry on any of his employees...it results in that employee's dismissal.

Dadima on one side is all smiling remembering what this girl spoke about her boss...Devil...10 headed Ravan...😄No body dared to even say her grandson's name...and look at the guts of this girl! All what she spoke about THE BOSS...i.e her Grandson... 😄But what if Maan really kicks her out of job. 😵Dadima is worried for her now...How will she face Geet after she looses her job?😵😨😰

At KC...

Maan is back to office. He doesn't know what to do. Geet had switched off her mobile during her time spent in Temple as mobile usage was strictly prohibited. Hence it was difficult to reach her on her mobile.

He checks for her address in the employee personal detail. It was mentioned Jhanakpuri...Next moment, he is on the way to that Jhanakpuri address...

(A/N: Does he even have a choice? 😜)

At Geet-Pinky's res:

Its nearly 6:45 PM...Geet has her shower and starts preparing for Dinner. She is dressed in her Night attire. Her hair let loose.

The door bell rings...

G: Pinky is here

The door bell rings again..

G: Pinky ...Aa rahi hoon

The door bell rings continuously...

G: What pinky...I am telling na Wait Wait...cant you wait?...Geet opens the door and she is dumb stuck with what she sees ...

Is it MAAN Sir? How can that even be possible? Geet...nee unmaiyaalume paithiyam aayitai 😵 (Geet...you have really gone mad) she rubs both her eyes with her hands...but what she sees doesn't seem to change...

They are lost in each other's eyes...Maan is again lost in her...without his own knowledge he scans her from top to bottom...She was looking as fresh as a flower.how she manages to look simple and beautiful at the same time...She managed to tease him with her looks once again

G: Pinky...What happened to you today? Why did you change your dress and why are you looking like Maan Sir to me? Asks with a confusion.😳

M: Because I AM THE ONE...AND ONLY ONE....says with a smirky teasing smile.

Geet coming back to her true senses...Maan SSir...You here?😲

Again Geet is in lost track of words...I...I mean..😳

Ooh...she is looking so cute with those confused expressions engulfing her beautiful face. He clears his throat to come out of his lost terrance.

M: Is this the way you treat guest by questioning them at the door step and shooing them away...you will not call me inside?😏

She waks herself as she really missed to request him to get into the home.

G: Ulla Vaango (come in) 😊

M: What?😳

G: I mean...please come in 😊. And Sir...please have your seat I will bring coffee for you.

M: I have not come here to have coffee.

Geet is taken back with his stern tone now.

M: May I know with whose permission did you leave early from office...

G: Sir...😵

Geet gulps in fear now...she is all confused what to answer. What ever said and done she was not suppose to leave office before closing hours. She cutely looks up and shoots a quick prayer. Ayyo bagawaane... ippo en velai kandippa pochu...edhavadhu oru vazhi panni kudungalen!! (Hey babaji...now I am sure that I am going to loose job....Please make a way for me to escape this situation)

M: I am waiting for your explanation.

G: Sir...Actually I had some personal work...That's why. She is gulping with fear..

M: Are you sure? Why you didn't inform me before leaving? 

G: Sir...Geet is not getting right words...AADI SIR...I had taken permission from Aadi Sir sometime during Afternoon. He told me that I have to inform you and leave after Hegde and Son's meeting...After the meeting, I didn't know what to do. I missed to take your permission as you were in a bad mood.😳

G ST: Sorry Aadi Sir...Its always you who are at the receiving end of everyone's mistake. Let me also take little advantage.🥴😰

M: Woh main...I didn't know exactly what had happened in the meeting. Aadi explained to me what ever happened and immediately after that I came to your cabin...but you were not around...and I thought..Maan is not getting right words to continue and keeps quite.

G: You thought that I will resign from my job and immediately leave and that too without giving you a resignation letter?

Maan couldnt react apart from blinking at her with a blank note.

G: Sir...I am a fresher and inexperienced. but not that immature to take such a decision...and that too on the second day of my job? I have taken this job to prove my skills and abilities..not to run away like a coward during tough situations.

Maan is surprised with all what he had just heard...Wondering how she manages with a trick to surprise him every day? This is the first time he is running short of words.

G: Sir?

M: Hun... he composes himself and continues...hmm...fine...and...I also wanted to ask you...what is this? I didn't get you exactly...He shows her the Greeting card which she had left at his desk

G: Sir...Woh...Geet is cornered...now she has to speak... Sir...I wanted to say sorry...SORRY SIR...

M: For what? 😳

G: For that day's incident 😳

M : Yeh kya that day that day laga rakha hain? (Why are you repeating "That day - That day"?)

G: Sir...I am talking about that day...2 years back...when I...She kept quite and her head bent down with embarrassment. Woh..

Maan got the answer now...she is apologising for that incident which happened 2 years ago...she giving him one tight slap is so fresh in his memory. He is actually enjoying her plight and smiling inwardly...but Maan is Maan...he has to maintain his stern look.

She gathers enough courage and speaks further...

G: Sir some rogue was troubling me continuously...I mistook you to be that person...and...

I am really SORRY for that.

Believe me...I came back to the same location...me and my cousin were searching for you. I was so desperate to meet you once again and apologize...and I have got that chance after 2 long years.

M: Hmm...so I look like a rogue to you? ...And walks close to her and she steps back with a fear..

G: Yes Sir... I mean...No Sir...I mean...I had mistaken you to be one...Now-a-days rogues maintain their own dressing style...I guessed even you are one...She closes her mouth in shock after saying this. Sir...I didn't mean...I had mistaken you. SORRY SIR. Were you hurt that day?

Haan...jyada kuch nahin...bas ek hafthe hospital main admit hona pada...🤕 (Yes..not that much...I was admitted in hospital just for about a week)

She closes her mouth with both her hands by hearing this and then she sensed he is joking What? 😂 Sir... 😂...Sir...I never ever imagined you can even joke. 😄 she couldn't control her laugh and her laughter adding glow to her beauty. How can he miss it...he again forces himself to snap out of his thought.

M: By the way I wanted to ask you one thing...Why did you choose to scream at me in Tamil..when you are such an expert with multiple languages. 🤔

Sir...how am I suppose to know what language you are comfortable with? I thought you are one of the local goons from Chennai who knows only Tamil...If at all I knew you are comfortable with Hindi...I would have given gaalis in hindi...Geet was going non-Stop with all kiddish actions.

M: GEET...

he screams with a stern look hiding complete opposite reaction of his heart Oops I called her Geet, not suppose to 😣...

M: I mean Geetika

Geet immediately stops her blabbering making baby face.

Maan thinks that She is a strange mix of intelligence, innocence and childishness at the same time...turns around from Geet and smiles.

G: Sir...Its Ok you can call me GEET hence forth. All near and dear ones, including some of the office staff call me GEET.

Maan was glad as he always wanted to call her by this name...but not sure if he was supposed to...

M: Well..GEET...

He calls her name softly..and she skips her heartbeat and in a mix of a spell of excitement and shyness.. And above all she feels special...and wonders why?

G: Yes Sir..

He owes her an apology and he doesnt know how to begin and where to begin...

Maan...you have decided to apologize...this is the right time to do so...c'mon...No No...MAAN SINGH KHURANA and SORRY...No ways...You should have thought about it before committing mistake...You must say SORRY...See...so nice of her to apologize for what ever happened 2 years back...SORRY...No ways...But you have to...

GEET I am SORRY for what happened today...Out comes the first ever apology of his life.😊

Geet couldn't believe it...DEER DEVIL asking SORRY? Seriously? I must say that old lady whom I met at Ganesh temple is a wonder woman. Her mouth wide open with sweet shock and her eyes giving slow blinks😯

It takes few minutes for Geet to get back to her normal state of mind and then speak...Sir...its all right...Its no body's mistake...you were taking actions based on the information given by that Sasha...Anyways, you are saying SORRY...I will accept it but on one condition.

Maan is worried now...ab sorry accept karne ke liye bhi condition!!! (Ohh..now, there's a condition to accept sorry as well?)

G: Sir...you must have a cup of coffee. I know that your morning coffee was spilled by Sasha and you didn't get to have coffee since then.

M: No...its Ok Geet...I had it at my client's place.

G: Nothing doing..you have come to my home for the first time...Will not leave you till you have it... 😊Geet hold's Maan's hand, drags him towards the sofa and forces him to sit down...All this while maan was just looking at her...feeling her feathery touch...she is forcing him that too by dragging him with her hold and how come he is not getting angry...😖

G: Sir...sit down...will bring coffee for you.

M: Hmm...

Geet's mobile rings

G: Hie Pinky...where are you?

P: I am here at my close friend's place. Will be late by the time I reach home.

Geet is holding her mobile on one hand and preparing coffee thro other hand...Aur Dinner? Kya pinky...you wanted to have idlies (South Indian dish) right?...I have started preparing it

P: Arre yaar...Kyon Gussa hoti hain? Main dinner se pehle hi Ghar aajaoongi. Hum saath main dinner karenge. Tik hain? (Oh dear...why are you getting angry? I will reach home before dinner and we will have dinner together. OK?)

G: That's like a good girl...will wait for you.

Geet cuts the call and serves coffee to Maan. All this while Maan was looking at her. It was an open kitchen and he could see all what she is doing...He was noticing her without a blink of an eye and partially heard her talk with Pinky.

M: Is Pinky coming over here?

G: Sir...This is actually Pinky's home. I am staying here as a paying guest.

M: Oh I see.

Maan is really feeling weird ...How am I suppose to know? Pinky has been working in my office for over 2 years and I never bothered to know where she lives...To that matter I have never been to any employee's home...and its just the end of the second day for Geet and I am here to meet her at her residence ... 😵

M: Pata nahin is ladki ne kya jaadoo kar rakha hain mujh par? 😖(Wonder what magic she has done on me?) He murmurs little loudly.

G: Sir...were you telling me some thing?

M: Nothing...Nice coffee that's it...I have to leave now..

G: Sir...thanks for visiting my home

M: Welcome...Oops this is the first time I am saying WELCOME...Have I really lost it? No ways...😳😵😖

M: BYE...and he leaves from there fighting with his mind with so many unanswered questions.
