and here is the next update...!!!!
Part 91
"I am ready to break the contract, Mrs. Sharma", came Geet's voice. Both Maan and Sasha turned to look at her. Geet walked in, closing the door behind her.
"That's what you wanted right?" she asked, turning to maan. Maan looked away , with his eyes red in anger. She looked at Sasha, "I will break the contract, right now!" she said, taking the contract papers in her hand, she continued, "I do not wish to work in a place where people mix their personal and professional lives".
Sasha suprresed a smile, but maan turned to look at geet, with his insides boiling. She knew she had hit maan's ego. Maan looked at geet, with a questioning look.
Sasha thought, "wow, now the contract will stay in tact. Egoes Clash!"
"Excuse me! you are talking to Maan Singh Khurana, so watch your words", said maan raising his voice, fiercely. He walked towards geet and grabbed the papers from her hand. He read through a few terms and conditions and said, "Alright! One mistake and you are out of here. I'm sure it's not going to take you too long to make mistakes".
Saying so, he threw the papers on the table and walked out of the conference room. He went into his chamber while geet and Sasha looked at him walk away.
Sasha smiled and said, "Welcome to MMG Technologies!". Geet who still looked at the door, thjrough which maan had walked out of, a couple of minutes back, did not respond. Sasha followed her gaze and suppressed her laugh. "Geet!" she yelled and geet jumped back and came back to her senses.
"Thank you!", said Geet, smiling, "bahut saalon ke baad!" she added.
"Hmmm!Baad mein baat karte hai. MK waise bhi bahut gusse mein hain!", said Sasha, patting geet's shoulder and walking out of the conference room.
"Ek minute, suniye tuo!", said Geet, trying to catch up, with her. But Sasha replied, "baad mein, geet!" and walked into her chamber, where a few clients were already waiting for her.
"Muskan ke bare mein poochni thi!" mumbled Geet. Maan, who was walking out of his office, to attend some meeting, heard geet. but did not stop. He simply walked away, from behind her.
Geet got back to her chamber and got to work. Jenny, asked her where she was all this while. Geet told her that she had to thank Sasha for all the help. She had to lie, since she could not find any better excuse to give. She knew maan would be very angry to have her in the office and she knew Sasha would be in trouble. Her entry was perfect and the timing even perfect. She was successful in keeping her position in the office safe. But she reminded herself that she had to be very careful, as maan khurana is very angry.
Sasha who was free after a couple of meetings, called Khurana Constructions and Pinky answered it. She told her to arrange for a conference call with Adi, Kapil and Vishal. Pinky did that and all five of them were on the call. Sasha spoke with utmost happiness in her voice, "Hello everyone, you wont believe aaj kya hua?"
"agar bataoge nahi, pata kaise chalega, Sasha ji?" came Vishal's reply.
"Oh, shut up Vishal. Ab sab dhyaan se suno.Dont interrupt me in between, because MK can be back anytime".
"Alright!", said everyone in unison.
"Geet is back in the office, as a part time CA of MMG Technologies!" she said, and recited the entire story to them.
They listened carefully and started expressing their happiness and anxieties. "tu ne yeh sab kaise kiya?" asked Kapil, curiously.
"Kismat acchi thi. Us din b'lore gayi thi, tuo wahan Mr. Narang se mulakaat hui, jo mere papa ke classmate the, B.com mein. And that's how I came to know about geet, while talking to him about some thing. I, immediately told him, we need CA's for our company too, and specifically told him, that I want Geet to work for us. Though initially, he refused, because of her hectic schedule, I somehow got dad into the picture and made him talk to Narang and convinced him. the rest of the story was co-ordinated by me and Aditya".
"Aditya kaun hai?" asked Adi.
"Aditya, is the assistant engineer for the office beside our office in B'lore!", said Sasha.
"wah, sasha ji, maan gaye aapko. Now I know, why you are Maan Khurana's trusted employee", he said, sarcastically.
"Vishal, taunt maarna chodo, ab aage kya karna hai, yeh tum apni lawyer dimaag use karke batao. Geet aur MK ko aamne saamne laani thi, yeh mein kar chuki hoon", she said, seriously.
"but why did you not tell us?" asked, Pinky.
"Yaar, itni time kaha thi? I had to do so many things in very less time. I was playing tricks with Maan Khurana, so I had to be careful and plan well. warna aaj mera anthim saanskar hoti".
All of them laughed. Sasha said, "abhi geet mujhse baat karna chahti thi, shayad muskan ke bare mein ya phir daadiji ke bare mein. But I did not answer any questions. I wanted MK to answer all her questions".
"And you think Maan will do that?" asked Kapil.
"Yes he will, because this geet is very different from the geet, who worked as MK's secretary. So, even if MK does not answer, geet will find a way!", she said.
"Thorough analysis, of geet haan?" asked Vishal.
"Yes,more details, later. I have to get back to work now. Have to attend some meetings too", she said, picking up some files.
"okay!", all of them screamed. They hung up and got back to work. Sasha went to some meetings and got back home in the evening. It was 7pm and Geet was still in the office, while Jenny got back to the hotel. Maan walked in, to pick some some files for later research and found geet still working.
He sat in his chamber and worked for sometime and remembered geet's words, "muskaan ke bare mein poochni thi!"
Geet, who was tired, got up and walked around for sometime. She had to get back to Chennai in few days to resume her work there. So, she did not have much time, to waste in Delhi. She then saw Maan working in his chamber. She wanted to go and talk to him, but was not sure how to start. She walked outside his chamber for sometime, and maan noticed that. But continued to work. Geet, paced in front of his chamber for 30 minutes and came until the door a couple of times, to open it and walk in. but did not do it. She finally tried opening the door and put her hand on the handle of the door, when it opened automatically.
Her jaw dropped as she saw maan stand on the other side of the door. "Woh main, yahan se ghuzar rahin thi, I thought I'll see what you are doing".
Maan stood there, silent with his hands folded across his chest. Geet, fiddled with her duppata and stared at the floor, thinking, "geet, tumhein kuch aur mila kehne ke liye!ab yeh zaroor tumhein uta ke fekega aur tum seedha Chennai mein giroge".
Geet looked up, scared and found Maan staring at her. She quickly turned her face away and mumbled, "geet, just leave before the situation gets out of control!"
'she turned to walk away, when he pulled her by her arm and pushed her against the wall. Geet's eyes opened wide in shock and fear. He pressed himself against her body and observed her face for sometime. Both their bodies shivered as they were so close after 6 long years. they could hear each other's heartbeats. Geet could feel his breath on her face and he could feel her breath on his throat. geet closed her eyes and clenched her fists, trying to control herself, while maan simply looked at her.
"jaane dijiye. Main aapko disturb nahin karungi!", she pleaded.
Maan did not say anything. GEEt opened her eyes and saw him, doing something with his phone. Geet uttered again, "Maan, jaane dijiye! Main chup chap apne kaam karke chali jaungi".
Maan dialed a number and put the phone on speaker. Geet kept quiet, wondering what he was doing.
They heard Kia answer the call, "Veerji, kahiye!"
"Kia, muskan ko phone do!" said MAan. Geet looked at him in disbelief. Tears started to flow down her cheeks and she started to breathe hard, in desperation to hear her daughter's voice.
"Ji veerji!", came Kia's reply and called out to Muskan, "beta, papa ka phone hain!"
Maan and Geet looked at each other, while they waited for muskan to answer the call. After a couple of seconds, Geet heard Muskan's voice, "Yeh Maan Khurana, bhi na, phone kiya hoga, batane ke liye, ki beta main aaj late aunga, meeting hai. dinner kar lena, time pe so jaana".
Geet laughed, covering her mouth while tears still ran down her cheeks. She heard Muskan pick up the receiver, "Papa, meeting hai na? theek hai, zaroori client hoga. Theek hai. jab chahe tab aana", she said, in a huff.
"Beta, I just wanted to talk to you. I don't have any meeting today. Cant I call my daughter to talk to her?" he asked, while geet listened to them, silently
"hmmm!", she replied.
"so tell me, how are you, my princess? And what have you done all day?" he asked.
"Papa, maine kuch nahi kiya. subeh se Kia chachi ke saath shopping kar rahi hoon. Kabhi sari shopping tuo kabhi diya shopping. Ofo, thag gayi hoon",she complained.
"oh, you should have just stayed home then!", said Maan.
"Why will I stay at home?I'm not old!"she answered.
"honey, if you are not old, then how can you get tired by just travelling around in sedans and shopping in Air-conditioned malls?", he asked.
Muskan quickly answered, "Papa, main mamma ki tarah hard working nahi hoon". Geet looked at maan questioningly. She also feared the statement that Muskan just made. Geet wondered, "kiske bare mein baat kar rahi thi?"
Maan noticed the puzzled look on her face and ignored it. He continued, "You have to become hard-working and independent like your mom, honey. Anyways, what are you doing, now?"
"Playing with my doggie. Papa, he's so adorable. AAp jaldi aaeye na, ghar. We'll take him for a walk".
Geet giggled and uttered very softly, "Maan Singh Khurana, kutte ko ghumaane le jayega?"
Maan shot her an angry look and she kept quiet immediately. Geet continued to listen to the both of them talk and smiled every now and then.
Finally Muskan said, "Papa, mujhe jaana hai. Chachu mere cookie ko pareshaan kar raha hai. aap aaeye na jaldi aur in sab ko ghar se bahar kar do".
Geet covered her mouth again with her hand, shocked, at the words her daughter uttered. She thought, maan would yell at her. But instead maan cooly replied, "phir se shuru. Chalo ab jao. I'll come home in sometime".
"bye papa, lovvvuuuu", she said and kissed the phone.
Maan said, "bye beta, lovvvuuuuu too!" and put the phone close to geet's lips. She looked at him, surprised and he gestured something with his eyes. She kissed the phone and muskan said again, "bye papa!" and hung up.
Maan moved away from her once the call was done. Geet joined her hands in front of him, thanking him, silently, and he shook his head. She looked at him, with tears in his eyes and a faint smile on her face.
"kaafi raat ho gayi, sambhal ke jaana, hotel!", he said, walking back to his table and switching off his laptop.
"ji!", she said and stood there looking at him. he picked up some papers and his laptop and walked out of his chamber. she still faced the other side and stood with her eyes closed. She suddenly opened her eyes and found Maan standing in front of her.
He came close to her and kissed her tears away, very gently, "Main, aaj bhi tumhari ankhon mein aansu nahi dekh sakta".
Geet felt her cheeks, where his lips had touched. He walked away and she followed him and ran in front of him, stopping him. "Tuo phir hum dono ek saath kyun nahi hai?" she asked, softly.
Maan looked at her, "tum jaanti ho, kyun! Tum chod ke chali gayi thi, mujhe aur muskan ko. Maine tumhe jaane ke liye kabhi nahi kaha".
"wapas aane ke liye bhi tuo nahi kaha", she said.
"Mujhe ghar jaana hai. Muskan wait kar rahi hogi", he said, looking around. He could not tell her, that he had to go away from her, looking into her eyes.
"wapas aa jaaeye, maan!" she said, holding his hand.
"Main kisi aur ka ho chukka hoon, geet! ab kuch nahi ho sakta", he said, with utmost pain in his eyes.
Geet's eyes filled with tears again, "nafrat karte hai na, aap, mujhse?" she asked, whispering.
Maan withdrew his hand from hers and said, "Good night!" and walked away as fast as he could. He got into his car and drove back home. He had dinner and put Muskan to sleep, thinking about his encounter with geet. he kissed muskan, when he realized, she was asleep and walked into his bedroom.
He stood in the balcony and thought about his conversation with geet. Her words, echoed in his ears, "aap kisi aur ke ho chuke hain, maan. You were never mine. You only pretended to be mine, to save your brother. You're wife's name is Sameera".
She had uttered these words 6 years back, in the hospital, after an accident. Maan was taken aback at her words. He knew his brother had done a crime in betraying her. But he never thought, she would think, he supported his brother all this while, pretending to love her and be nice to her.
He thought, Geet was under too much stress, because she had too many truths to handle and too many realities to face. But he did not know, she had meant every word she said. This was later proved, when, she left home, leaving him a letter. He walked into his room and opened his closet and searched for the letter. He read it, after finding it:
Maan,
I always loved you, but I never thought, you were deceiving me all this while. I'm sorry, but we can never stay together. Sab kuch khatam ho gaya, ab kuch nahi ho sakta
Geet
He closed his eyes in pain and crumpled the letter. He tore it to pieces and threw it away. Tears rolled down his eyes. He had never told anyone, the real reason of geet leaving the house. so, everyone assumed he was at fault. He did not mind, because he never cared about anyone.
He sat down on the bed, "ab wapas kyun aaye ho, geet?" He took her photo and kissed it. "bahut dukh diya hai, geet, tumne mujhe!bahut zyaada".
He put her photo away and lied down on his bed, when he heard his phone ring. He knew it was geet. he took the call, but did not speak.
He heard her voice, on the other end, "Maan, main jaanti hoon, aap mujhe dekh kar khush nahi hai. main aapko pareshaan nahi karungi. Mujhe laga ki hum phir se ek ho sakte hai. lekin itne saal ke baad bhi, maine aapke aankhon mein, dard dekhi, aur who bhi meri wajah se. isiliye, main contract thodne ke liye taiyyar hoon".
"Maan Singh Khurana, aaj bhi, apna personal life aur professional life alag rakta hai", he said, sternly.
"maan, thanks for giving me an opportunity, to listen to my daughter speak", she said, whispering.
"you can meet her, too, if you want!", he added, "after all you're her mother".
"was she speaking about me, on phone?" she said, and regretted saying it. She was doubting him again. She cursed herself for the question. Maan would definitely not forgive her, now.
"How strange, geet? you've seen the pain in my eyes, but did not see the love. because if you did, you would have understood that muskan's mother and my wife, is you and no one else!"
"Maan!", she said, softly.
"and answer to the question, you put in office- yes, I hate you, geet!" he said, with his voice, cracking. Geet burst out crying on phone. He said, "so jao, geet. you were right, there is nothing left now. Its all over!"
"Maan!", she chided, very softly, "aap mujhe thoda waqt dijiye. Mujhe aapse baat karni hai".
"geet, you are not in a position to explain your stance. You've lost that privilege".
"Maan, bas ek baar. Mujhe ghalat faimi ho gayi thi. I'll explain everything, maan. After you went to London, that time, everything chan.." and she heard Maan scream, "bas geet. tum delhi sirf apna kaam karne aaye ho, who karo. Mujhe pareshaan mat karo. I do not want to listen to you. If you want to meet muskan, you can call my secretary, Alisha, and fix up some place and time".
"cant I come home to meet her?I need an appointment to meet my daughter , too?"
"Let me remind you again, you left Khurana Mansion for six years. I did not make that decision for you. And yes, you're daughter is like her father, she does everything according to a plan. She hates it, when unexpected things happen in her life".
"but life is all about unexpected things", said geet
"yopu're right. But for maan singh khurana and his daughter it is different. Before you came into my life, everything was planned. After you came, I did not plan. Now, today, I'm again back to square one, alone in life".
"you have muskan, I don't even have…" and Maan said immediately, "its your fault you are alone, today".
"alright, Mr. Khurana. When can I meet your daughter?"
"I would have appreciated it, had you said, "our" daughter. Anyways, I'll text Alisha's number. Call her. She's the one who co-ordinates all of Muskan's activities".
"shouldn't you be co-ordinating muskan's activities?are you so busy that you don't even know what she does?"
"Geet, just because I said, someone else co-ordinates her activities, does not mean I do not know what our daughter does. I keep track of where she is, how she is and what she is doing every second. The girl you met in Taj, who walked away saying she does not speak to a stranger, is Muskan".
"what?was that muskan?how did you know I met her?"
"Like I said, I keep track of everything, who she is with, who she talks to, everything , literally, everything".
"so, you knew I was in Delhi?"
"Yes!"
"Did you also know that I would be joining your company?", she asked, hoping he would say "yes". That would give her hope again, that he, too, like her, has taken one step towards bettering their relationship.
"I wish, I did! But unfortunately, I did not know".
"why did you not react, when you knew I met muskan?"
"why should I react, if a mother meets her daughter?"
"are you not scared, I might take muskan away with me?"
"Honey, you are talking to maan singh khurana. I hope I answered your question".
"Maan, seriously?"
"geet, you went away from my life for six years, only physically. So, if you do take muskan away, even that would be her physical presence".
"so, which means, you still love me. don't you?"
"do you love me geet? or should I ask do you trust me?"
"what makes you think I don't love you or trust you?"
Maan laughed, for the first time, in so many years- at her foolishness. He said, "my dear wife, had you loved me, you would not have left me. had you trusted me, you would not be on phone with me at this time of night. Instead, you would be with me, in our house, in my arms".
