Recap-''Stop behaving like a love-struck teenager'' he kept telling himself but his heart was nowhere near listening.
And then he knew,he knew it was actually a new begining....a beautiful new begining.
Chapter-5 And then i knew (part 2)
PAST
Although geet was silly in her ways,but one thing she did well was not taking her job for granted or her boss as a friend.
This was her first job,but still she have managed to carve a niche for herself in terms of proffesionalism.
Soetimes it suprised her as well as some one who used to order around is the one who is following orders and that too quite obidiently without throwing tantrums!
She knew very well about the kind of female fan following her boss had thanks to his looks as well as his no-nonsense attitude......she have seen women gasp,hyperventilate at his one look,the most funniest part was him being called DD which was short for dhak dhak which cracked her up every time she heard it from her fellow female colleagues as she have known only one DD till date-MADHURI DIXIT!!
That's what she laughed at the most in her mind thinking about comparing her DD boss to the DD queen!!!
She never thought about him the way other girls did only until......
* * * * * * * *
Geet's cool attitude towards maan pissed him to no end.He knew she was diffrent from other girls who would throw themselves at him if given a chance....but sometimes the thought scared him as he thought in which way is she diffrent? The positive way or negative?
What if she's not intrested in men at all!!!!
Noooooooooooo........stop thinking rubbish maan.
He have heard a phrase somewhere that when the ghee refuses to come out while your finger is straightened.....take it out tilting your finger.
He knew she did like him,respect him....so half the job is done as there are no hard feelings between them.....all he have to do is make her fall in love with him..or may be make her realize she had strong feelings for him as well.
But it's always easier said than done.
* * * * * * * *
Geet was busy arranging the files given to her by her boss....she did'nt knew why she was sort of missing his presence as he was out for some work.
It was not the first ocassion where she felt restless without him not knowing why as she slapped her forehead at her expectations.
That's when she got a call from him on the landline as her phone was switched off.
'Hello geet,i'm maan this side.....some problem have arised..hello..hello''
''Hello....hello...sir...are you there...'' the line went dead.
* * * * * * * *
She kept running through the gullies,asking anyone and everyone if they have seen her maan sir.
She kept giving descriptions to people but damn it ....no one seems to know about him or seen him.
She tried to find his car but to no avail.
But she cannot give up like this,she have to find him....he is in some problem for heaven's sake.
That's when she went up to the holy place,the dargah.
She raised her cupped hands to the almighty praying for him,his safety,his well-being,prayed and literaly begged so she can see him just once....only once.
That's when a string came near her feet as she picked it up to give it back to the owner.......and then.....she saw him.
* * * * * * *
Maan could'nt believe his eyes.....not only because she came here all the way from office...but also what he saw in her eyes.
Those belliguing,beseeching eyes,which kept haunting him day in day out without their knowledge were expressing something alien to him,something which swept him off his feet,something which he could just treasure all his life.......
Geet kept staring at him holding the holy thread in her hand....it seemed as if the world has stopped for her.......it felt as if she has found some lost treasure which she wanted to touch to make herself believe that it is not an illusion but a reality...but her hands did'nt seem to move nor any other part of her whole being.
* * * * * * * *
She broke out of the trance as she heard his voice questioning her presence there.
She couldnt answer as her mouth went dry......even she dosen't know why she came here.
But that gesture was enough for maan.
* * * * * * * *
Geet didn't knew what had happened to her......she trembled near his presence,she kept doing silly mistakes......by now she knew she harboured feelings for him.....something more than respect or friendly feelings......but she did'nt knew what.
Maan was more than happy seeing his affect on her.......he remembered the last lines of the song in which he literaly forced her to dance...''poori hui har arzoo,har daastan meri....ke tum shuru huye jahaan main khatam hua''.
So true in his life at least he thought....from the point he has stopped behaving immaturely,sometimes ending up making a fool of himself,she has started showing the same signs.
* * * * * * * *
Maan never leaved a single chance to tease her,or torture her with his proximity.
He nowadays spoke to her in a voice which seemed to melt her just the way he wants to and loved to see the effects on this poor,innocent soul as she could'nt hide her emotions for her eyes betrayed her big time.
* * * * * * * * *
That's when she knew......the meaning of these emotions filling in her heart......the diffrence between her previous behaviour and her current one......she knew what it was.
Precap- She gasped and then screamed.
Love shreya
