Once Upon A Time...
Chapter 5
Geet and Dadi were mixing up really well. Dadi just loved Geet, and was wishing Geet becomes her daughter-in-law. Maan on the other hand, just didn't know what was happenning to him. He couldn't take Geet off his mind for even a second. He was starting to realize he had feelings for Geet. She was the first girl to show him not every girl is stupid. The reasons he didn't like girls were, Naintara and her stupid schemes, his mom, who cheated on his dad, and then all those girls who stoop so low to impress him. He didn't have any past with a girl or anything. These small little things always showed him, that girls are good for nothing. He brushed off his thoughts about Geet.
_______________
The next morning Geet woke up early for a change, because she had to go home. She said bye to Dadi and left for her house. Maan was still sleeping. Geet went to her house and got ready, wearing red fitted t-shirt, black skinny jeans, black boots, colourful purse, and her hair messily half-tied with a clip with her bangs at the front to the side. Her hair was total 'Jungli Billi Style' as Maan would call it. She went to office early for a change. She organised her messy desk lost thinking about how many times Maan helped her.
_______________
"Tum! Yahan...Itni Jaldi" said a farmiliar voice in a really confused tone.
"Just because I was late everyday last week doesn't mean I can't come early! I'm getting used to coming early, and you just have to mock me!" she said annoyed. So what if she was 10-15 minutes late three days in a row last week?!
"Whatever! I came to get the files for the Khanna's project." he said. Geet took the files and slammed them on his hand.
"I'm your boss, not your naukar! Learn some respect! And bring these files to my cabin!" he said storming out. Geet just stood and rolled her eyes.
"Respect!? Like he has any! Dusht Dhanav!" she said to herself. She went to his office with the files, talking to herself. Maan looked at her wierdly, talking to herself.
"Stop talking to yourself, you look stupid." he said sternly. She rolled her eyes.
"Why do you have a problem with everything I do!? Yeh mat karo! Woh mat karo! Stop this! Stop that! Don't do this! Don't do that!" she said remebering how many times he told her to stop doing things last week. He would tell her to shut up every second, and not to chew gum, not to fiddle with things in meeting, not to talk rudely, EtcEtcEtc.
"Maybe, if you'd listen the first time, I wouldn't have to keep repeating myself!" he said angrily.
"Look at you! Your chewing gum again!! How many times do I have to tell you not to?" he asked angrily. Geet purposely blew a bubble to irritate him.
"Geet!" he yelled angrily.
"What! You call me Geet jaise mere uncle apne kutte ko Tommy kehte hain! Tommy!" she said mimicking her uncle.
"Geet!" he yelled again.
"Maan!" she said in the same tone. He looked at her furiously.
"Woh...mera matlab...Maan Sir..." she said lowering her voice.
"I don't want to hear your BakBak! Go to your cabin and make the blueprints for the Khanna's mall. We have meeting with them at four. Designs should be ready by three o'clock!" he said sternly. She pouted and left. She had five hours to design a whole mall. She thought about it and realized, she actually has a lot of time. Her pout turned into a smile.
_______________
35 Minutes Later:
Geet called Maan's cabin.
"Sir...Woh main Playdium aur Arcade bana sakti hoon?" she asked. Maan on the other side rolled his eyes.
"Haan bana lo." he said and cut the phone. Geet smiled.
"I'll definitely visit this mall often!" she thought to herself.
10 Minutes Later:
Geet called Maan's cabin.
"Can I also make an Indoor Pool?" she asked. Maan sighed.
"Haan...Whatever! Bana lo!" he said not caring.
15 Minutes Later:
Geet called Maan's cabin.
"Can I make an Indoor Sport's Center?" she asked. Maan thought she has good ideas, she's not as stupid as she behaves.
"Haan" he said.
10 Minutes Later:
Geet called Maan's cabin.
"Can I make a Movie Theatre. You know, I just love movies!!" she said happily. Now, Maan was getting irritated, at her constantly calling him. He was busy working on a different project and Geet kept bugging him.
"Haan!!" he said angrily and cut the phone.
Geet called him again.
"Sorry sir...Last question. Can I make a Bubble Gum Machine? With all gum flavours?" she asked. Maan sighed thinking 'Yeh ladki mujhe pagal kardegi!'
"Thik hain, bana lo, jo bhi banana hain bana lo! Don't ask me! But, just don't mess this project up. I'm trusting you because your last design was good, except for the bathroom part. Just don't ruin this for our company. Samjhi tum?!" he said and cut the phone. Geet was flying. She didn't feel this happy, when Chopra told her he liked her design. She smiled, thinking Maan actually complimented her design. And her smile grew thinking about how he said 'Our Company'. It felt good to be considered part of Khurana Constructions. Now, she would make sure she puts her best into this mall.
________________
I was finally done. It was only 2:00. I went to Maan sir's cabin, and knocked. He told me to come in. I entered and showed him the design. He looked at it with a surprised expression. I was nervous. Why was he surprised???? I checked over five times! There weren't any mistakes.
"Miss Geet Shergill. You're not as stupid as you seem to be." he said amused. I was relieved, I didn't make any mistakes.
"I'm not stupid!" I said defending myself.
"You behave like a stupid person, but atleast you're a good architect." he said. I gave him an irritated look.
_______________
"Wow Mr. Khurana! I must say, you've got a great team of architects! I mean this is wonderful!" said Mr. Khanna amazed.
"Thank You" he said then, looked at Geet and smiled. Geet was amazed that Maan smiled. That too at her! After the meeting Maan entered the elevator. Geet and other employees were in there. Every floor people went out. Now only Maan and Geet were there. They stood there waiting for the voice to announce 'Fifth Floor'. They waited and waited but, no voice came and the elevator wouldn't open.
"Geet, Adi ko phone lagao. Ask him what's wrong with the lift." he ordered. Geet took her phone out of her purse, thinking why can't Maan do anything himself, and called Adi.
"Adi, can you please find out what happened to the elevator." asked Geet.
"Oh! Woh actually kuch technical difficulties ki wajah se lift jam ho gayi hain fix karne ke liye time lagega." said Adi coolly.
"What!!!???? Lift jam ho gayi!?" yelled Geet. Maan instantly looked up as he heard Geet say those words.
"Sorry Geet! I'll call you when it gets fixed. Bye" said Adi hanging up. Maan was so pissed off right now. He got up and tried to open the lift with his hands. It wouldn't budge.
"Aap mujhe stupid keh rahe the!? Look at you! Maine abhi kaha ke lift jam ho gayi hain!" said Geet taunting him.
"Shut up Geet!" said Maan. Geet sat down in one corner of the elevator, while Maan was sitting in the other.
"God!! I can't believe I'm stuck in this lift with this pagal jungli billi!" said Maan to himself but was heard by Geet.
"Ughh! I can't believe I'm stuck in here with this Dusht Dhanav!" she said to herself but made sure Maan could hear. Maan looked at her angrily. Five minutes passed. They were just sitting in the elevator bored. Geet was just chewing her gum. While Maan just sat there having nothing to do. Then, Geet took out her iPhone and plugged in the earphones. In no time she put her music on and started listening to it with full volume. She closed her eyes and leaned back. Maan just sat staring at Geet as she listened to music with a relaxed expression on her face. Geet opened her eyes for a second and caught Maan staring and closed them again. She started to think why the hell is he staring at her. Even with her eyes closed she could tell Maan was staring at her. She turned off her music and put her phone in her bag. She didn't look at Maan even once. She took out a book from her purse and covered her face with it, she closed her eyes hoping Maan would stop staring at her. Maan was just laughing inside. He knew Geet saw him, and so she took a book out. And pretended to read the book, that too upside down. He knew she didn't like him staring at her so he continued. She irritated him so now, he would. She peeked and saw him still staring. 'What is wrong with him!!!!' thought Geet.
"Tum kitni stupid ho Geet! Your book is upside down!" he said amused.
"Huh?" she said and then realized that her book was upside down. She quickly turned it around. Maan was still staring at her. A frustrated Geet stood up.
"Stop staring at me!!" she yelled. Maan stood up too.
"I won't! Kya kar logi!!!" he yelled louder standing directly in front of her. Just then the light went on and off and off again and a sudden movement happened, causing both of them to fall down. The lights came back on. Maan was completely on top of Geet and his one hand rested on Geet wrist, pinning it down, and the other hand on her waist. This happened while Maan was trying to catch Geet from falling and because the lift shook all of a sudden, they both ended up falling. Geet waited for him to let her go. But, Maan was too busy staring at Geet. After a while Geet got mad.
"Chodo mujhe!" she said angrily.
"Nahi chodo ga! No one tells Maan Singh Khurana what to do!" he replied arrogantly.
"What the hell do you mean by that! Get off me!" she yelled at him.
"I won't! What are you gonna do! Hmm?" he asked. He never did what someone told him to do. And, he wouldn't let go of her because he was somewhat enjoying the closeness, and irritating Geet. He stared into her eyes, and she somehow got lost in his eyes too. Maan moved her bangs to the side. Geet had butterflies in her stomach.
"Don't touch me!" she yelled.
"Why! Any girl would die to even shake hands with Maan Singh Khurana." he said proudly, as he continued to move her hair to the side.
"I'm not any girl! I'm Geet! Got it! And I do not wish to be touched by you! Ughh! Stop it!" she said using her free hand to push Maan hand away. She tried to push Maan away, but she only had one hand free, because Maan was holding her other one. She struggled but, Maan was too strong for her to push away. Maan took his hand away from Geet's waist and pinned her other hand down too.
"Oww! What the hell!! Chodo mujhe! What do you think you're doing!!" she yelled struggling to free her hand. Maan tighten his grip and made sure she couldn't move. He was literally on her, and there noses were almost touching.
"Aapko pata bhi hain, ke you weigh more than an elephant!" she said miffed at his indecent behaviour.
"Shut up Geet! I won't leave you until say you say I'm sorry for behaving like a pagal jungli billi all these days." he said smirking.
"Huh??! What!? Main aisa kabhi nahi kahoongi!" she said.
"Acha?" he said with a tint of mischief, and then used his thumb to caress her cheek. Geet closed her eyes scared by Maan's actions, but she was just too stubborn to say what he told her to say.
"Say it!" he said caressing her cheek. She opened her eyes and gave him an angry glare, and again tried getting out of his grip. He buried his face in her hair. it was something he had always wanted to do. He just loved her soft hair, which was even softer now that he felt it. Geet was loosing control of herself with every step Maan took. And Maan, had already lost control over his actions long time ago.
"Bolo Geet..." he whispered softly in her ear. His lips were almost touching her ear. His lips moved down to kiss her collarbone. he had no idea what he was doing. Geet's heavenly scent was making him get carried away. Before, his lips could touch her collarbone, Geet spoke up.
"I'm sorry for behaving like a pagal jungli billi all these days!" she almost yelled. Maan realized what he was doing and quickly got up. Geet stood up too.
"Woh...I'm sorry Ge-" he started to say approaching her, but she cut him off.
"Mujhse door rahiye!" she cut him off taking several steps back. She was hell angry at him and herself. Then, the lights went off again. And then, they started hearing wierd clanking noises. Geet was hell scared. She started screaming like a maniac. Maan searched for her in the dark and got hold of her hand.
"Don't worry Geet! Kuch nahi hoga. They're just repairing the elevator. Trust me?" he said trying his best to calm her down, but she continued to scream. The lights came back on but the clanking noise was there.
"No! I don't trust you Maan sir! And, don't touch me again!" she said angrily taking her hand away from him. She looked at him. He was furious. The look on his face was scaring Geet. In one second, he took hold of her and backed her up against the wall. He was standing directly in front of her. There was no space between them, and she couldn't move from her position.
"What do you think of me! Huh?? Kya samajhti ho mujhe? A bloody rapist!? Mere aage peeche lakho ladkiya ghoomti hain! Aur agar main chahta toh tumhare saath kuch bhi kar sakta hoon! Kuch bhi! Aur tum kuch nahi kar paaogi! Lekin main aisa nahi hoon, toh please stop thinking like this! Samjhi tum!?" he yelled in frusturation. Geet looked at his eyes instead of the chocolatey brown colour, they were now dark brown in anger. How did she even say that she didn't trust him. After all those times he helped her. Geet was feeling guilty now. She quickly nodded her head cutely. Maan moved away from her.
_______________
Geet and Maan were extremely bored. They sat in there corners in complete silence. Geet took out a nail-filer, and nail polish out of her purse, and started filing her nails. Maan had the wierdest expression on his face.
"Pata nahin aur kya kya rakhti hogi apne uss purse mein..." he thought in his head. Geet finished filing her long nails and put nail polish on her nails, on the left hand.
"Maan sir, aap mere right hand par nail polish lagao ge? I'm right handed so I always mess up." she asked.
"KYA!" yelled Maan and then stared at her for a long time.
"Pagal ho kya! Have you lost it! Maan Singh Khurana kisi ke liye nail polish lagaye ga!?" yelled Maan surprised at her guts to even ask that.
"Nail Polish!!?? Are you serious Geet? Tumhare jaisi mental patient maine aaj tak nahin dekhi!" he said looking at her as if she were some alien.
"So what!? Bas nail polish lagane ke liye kaha! What's the big deal!?" asked Geet standing up. Maan stood up too.
"Tum apne aap ko samajhti kya ho!?" he said angrily stepping forward.
"Geet Shergill!" she said also stepping closer showing that she isn't scared of him.
"Oh ya...Geet Shergill the pagal jungli who has escaped from the Mental Assylum!" he said and took a step closer.
"Woh bhi without being treated!" he added.
"And you have escaped form the Anger Management Hospital! she said stepping closer.
"Woh bhi without being treated!" she added.
"Like seriously! Itni choti si baat par itna gussa!?" she asked frusturated. Maan looked at her furiously.
"Geet!" he warned.
"Dekha! Like aapko itna gussa aata kaha se hain!?" she asked.
"Geet" he warned stepping closer. They were so close. But both were too busy fighting to notice.
"Aur aapke yeh tantrums! I can't tolerate them! Aap koi chote bache ho kya!? she asked not caring. She was getting fed up of him now.
"Geet!" he yelled once again.
"Stop it! Main aapka pet dog nahin hoon!" she said angrily.
"Aap itne gusse waale kyun hain? Past mein kuch hua tha? Boyfriend ne dump kardiya??" she said making fun of him.
"What the hell did you just say?" asked Maan extremely angry now. Geet just blew a bubble not caring at all.
"Dadi da laadla bigad gaya...Dadi da ladla bigad gaya!" she sang happily annoying Maan. She loved to irritate him.
"GEET! What the hell do you mean by that!?" he asked. he was on the verge of exploding.
"Aap kitne slow hain! I mean ke aap gay hain!" she said. Maan grabbed her by her waist pulling her closer, and covered her mouth with his, before she could react. He kissed her deeply truly enjoying the kiss. He had wanted to do this since a long time. He was loving the way her soft lips felt under his. Geet wasn't responding. She had no idea how to kiss. Maan kissed her passionately moving his hand up and down her waist and back. In a split second Geet pushed him away. At first she was too surprised to react, but when she realized Maan was kissing her, she immediately pushed him away even though she was just loving the kiss. This was just not right to Geet. They weren't married or in a relationship. After pushing him away, she slapped him, but not hard like she slapped Rahul the other day. It was a non-hurtful cute baby slap because she didn't want it to hurt Maan, like she had made sure her slap hurt Rahul the other day. Maan was completely shocked by what Geet did. He grabbed her by her waist again, pulling her extremely close.
"Tumne mujhe, Maan Singh Khurana ko thappad maara!?" he asked ever so shocked.
"Haan maara!" she said.
"Aapne mujhe woh kiya???" she added equally shocked.
"Haan kiya!...Phirse karoon?" he asked sarcastically. Geet gasped.
"How dare you say that! And how dare you 'woh' me!" she asked angrily.
"You mean kiss you!?" he asked amused.
"Haan! How dare you kiss me?!" she asked angrily.
"How dare you slap me!?" he asked angrily.
"Because you frickin kissed me!!" she yelled.
"Because you frickin called me gay, and I had to prove to you that I'm not!!" he yelled.
"Look! You better understand that I'm not gay!" he warned.
"Warna...kya kar loge!?" she asked.
"Phirse 'woh' mera matlab kiss kar dunga!" he said leaning forward teasing Geet. She instantly moved back taking his hands off her waist. Geet went and sat down completely miffed. While Maan also sat down, shocked by his actions. There was an uncomfortable silence between them. Well, obviously! Maan just kissed her! Maan decided to break the silence.
"Umm...Geet...uhh" Maan was thinking of something to say.
"What!?" asked Geet. In a frusturated tone. No one could say Geet was Maan's secretary by the way Geet always talked to him.
"Woh main keh raha tha ke...tum...uhh...bahut khoobsurat ho..." he said not knowing what else say. He just said what was in his mind without thinking.
"Huhh??" said Geet completely shocked.
"You were looking gorgeous at the party..." he said. He had no idea why he was saying all this. Geet's eyes widened as she heard him say that. She blew a bubble. She had been waiting for Maan to say this the day at the party. And here he was saying it right now!
"Finally!" she said to herself quietly, but Maan heard.
"You wanted me to say that, the day at the party?" he asked amused.
"Huh?...No!" she said quickly.
"Sure..." he replied sarcastically.
"Tum saree mein achi lagti ho." he said honestly. Geet's eyes widened further. Maan had never complimented a girl before.
"Waise...You look good in everything you where." he said. Maan actually liked her jungli billi side. Geet was so shocked. Maan realized what he'd been saying.
"I was just joking! Your so gullible! Kuch bhi maan leti ho!" he said covering up.
"OMG! Maan! Tu line maar raha tha!?" he thought in his head.
"He wasn't joking!" Geet thought in her head happily.
_______________
It had been 10 more minutes. They were extremely bored! Geet was standing up pressing every single button in the lift. Maan looked at her with his 'YourSuchAPagalJungliBilli' expression.
"You know what!? Tum sach mein stupid hi ho!" he said looking at her behave like a no-brainer. She looked at him and rolled her eyes. She took out her phone and called Adi.
"Adiiiiii!!!! When is it gonna be fixed!!" she said desperately, while Maan continued giving her the 'YourSuchAPagalJungliBilli' look.
"Don't Worry Geet! Just two more minutes." he said.
"Okay but no more than two minutes!" she said hanging up. Two seconds later the elevator fell down one floor. Geet shrieked and fell onto Maan's lap. Maan caught her by her waist. Geet was now sitting on Maan's lap. Before she could get up the elevator fell down almost a metre. Geet flung her arms around Maan's neck instantly while, Maan tightened his hold on Geet's waist. Geet was leaning onto Maan really scared. There faces were like side to side. Maan's beard was tickling Geet, and Maan's face was buried in Geet's hair. Finally the elevator stopped falling down. Geet sighed of relief, and looked at Maan. They got lost in eachother eyes. Suddenly the door of the lift opened. And, there stood Sasha, Dadi, Adi, Tasha, Pinky, and a few clients.
