Part 31: Enjoy and Comment!!
A few minutes passed and Geet was looking over files that were piled on top of her desk courtesy of Tasha and Romeo. Geet finished a couple of files off in those 15 minutes and the rest she decided to take a break. She laid back on her chair and turned around to face the window that was wide open and looked out to many parts of Delhi. She sighed and thought, " I remember meeting Maan on this type of day.. cloudy and sunny... as if my life that was full of clouds was clearing.. because the sun was coming out.. who knew.. Maan would be my sun...". She closed her eyes and remembered that very scene that changed both their lives.
---FLASHBACK-----
"Where is your Geet Madam?... I've been waiting for her in the meeting room a"demanded the angry voice. " Sir.. woh. abhi aati hoongi.. unho ne kaha tha kay woh thori si late ho jayengi.. sorry sir.. " said the secretary worriedly. "Please give her a call right now.. she's treating this like a joke! abhi phone lagao.." said the angry voice. The secretary shook in fear and picked up the phone to call Geet. And the person turned around and went towards the meeting room again.
And then thats when Geet entered her office and everyone stood up and greeted her. She was sweetly replying back and was walking as if she didn't have to worry about a thing. Geet stopped at her secretary and said, " Suhana? whats the problem? you called me?". "Ji. mam.. woh uh.. Mr. Khurana aapka intezaar kar rahe thay". " I know... can't he wait?.. impatient eh?.. acha suhana.. aaj tum jaldi ghar jaasakti ho.. i understand its your sister's wedding?.. go and help with preparations..aur haan.. don't forget to give her my gift"said Geet with a smile. Suhana smiled widely, " Thankyou Mam!". Geet smiled back and went towards the meeting room. As she entered, her team was behind her... they were all in perfect suits.. and were very well groomed.
Maan turned his seat around to look at this Geet Madam that her office staff so lovingly calls her... how irresponsible! He looked at his files with anger... and then he looked up at Geet trying to calm himself down. Maan stood up and Geet walked upto him with a smile, " Hello Mr. Khurana.. nice to meet you". She took out her hand to shake his and he did the same and as their hands met.. Maan couldn't take his eyes off her eyes... hazel eyes.. minimal.. yet perfect amount of makeup.. he hated it when girls caked it on.. they looked even more worse.. Hair is kept open and rosy pink lips that didn't look like she had tons of lipgloss on... a perfect out fit.. not even skimpy.. modest and professional... he liked that. "Just perfect" thought Maan. Geet frowned a little and said, " Are you okay Mr. Khurana". Maan clicked out of his thoughts and said, " Nice to meet you Miss. Handa". They let go of eachothers hands and Geet said, " Please sit down everyone". Everyone sat in their respective places.
"Thankyou for coming everyone.. and my apologies for the slight delay.. I had some personal business to deal with.. but we will begin with the presentation now"said Geet as she stood up and addressed everyone in the room. Maan looked at her with skeptical and arrogant eyes. Geet had a charm and a sweet way to talk to everyone... she sounded convincing. As the meeting began and towards the middle Maan was impressed with Handa staff... they were professional... very competative. Geet had that smirk on her face... she thought " He thinks that he can buy my company?.. he hasn't seen what I can do yet... arrogant.. saru type". As the meeting concluded, one of Maan's team members, Adi stood up and said, " Miss Handa.. Khurana constructions is interested in buying your company.. we offer you 45 crores for your company.. do you agree?". Geet leaned back on her chair and had a smirk on her face.. the clever kind.. " What an irresponsible and unprofessional woman... she leans back on her chair thinking this is all a joke.. " thought Maan. She gotup from her chair and said, " No I don't and I am NOT selling my company Mr. Khurana... not even for 45 crores... ". Maan looked at her as she smirked, " Miss Handa.. we are making you an offer.. please think it through". " No. I am NOT selling my company.. Mr. Khurana.. how about I buy your company? for lets see.... 50 crores.. small amount eh? " said Geet as she had a big smirk on her face. Maan stood up and looked at Geet with his cold stare. " This meeting is done.. thankyou for your time Miss Handa" said Maan with a cold tone of his voice. "Thankyou.. Mr. Khurana.. I know you all must be very busy... " said Geet with a sweet smile yet a very bittersweet tone. Geet shook hands with Maan and him and his team left the office.
" Saruuu insaan Meer!.. pata hai? he wanted to buy my company... another futile attempt by another " hotshot architect"said Geet with a mouth full of chips. Meera laughed and said, " Geet tu bhi naa.. itni bittersweet banjati hai.. I wouldn't blame him..". " Shutup Meeer.. tu meri side sse hai naa.." said Geet with a frown. "Acha.. uska naam to bata.. hot tha kya?" said Meera as she poured coke for both of them. Geet thought for a second.. "kya naam hai.. haan.. Maan Singh Khurana". Meera stopped pouring her coke and looked at Geet with surprised eyes. " GEEET! MAAN SINGH KHURANA!! WHAAAT?" said Meera as she was shocked. Geet frowned at her.. " kya?". " GEET.. WOH MAAN SINGH KHURANA.. DON'T YOU REMEMBER HIM FROM UNI??... HE WAS ALWAYS IN YOUR CLASSES... HE WAS YOUR SILENT COMPETITION" said Meera loudly. " OYE.. shutup yaar.. tu mazak kar rahi hai kya" said Geet with calm eyes but a hyper tone. " He was one of the dhak dhak's of our unii yaar.. Armaan.. and Maan and his youngest brother Sameer" said Meera excitedly. Geet looked as if she didn't care.. " Who cares?" said Geet as she stuffed chips in her mouth. " YOU MET OUR LONG TIME DHAK DHAK AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HIM.. GEEEET!" said Meera as she smiled widely. " Oh yeah.. I remember"said Geet with a smile on her face. " I remember you and Shilpa being BOYYYY CRAZYY.. you over Sameer.. and Shilpa at Armaan... kya hai yaar" said Geet with a laugh. Meera smacked her on the arm and said, " Geeeeeeeeet!!! tu itni stupid hai naa kay bas.. pagaaalll ho gayii hai" said Meera. "Sab tujhe aur Maan ko ideal dream couple kehtay thay.. both of you were the dreeamm boy and girl.. you beautiful.. simple smart.. and him.. wel.. strong... smart.. handsome.. quiet.. hayeeeee marrjawaannnn!!" said Meera with a big smile on her face. " I know yaar.. I don't even know him.. acha.. tu na.. movie lagaa. warna main ghar chali jaaongi" said Geet as she got tired of hearing Meera get giggly about this. "Acha.. laagati hoon.. merii maa.. " said Meera as she frowned and turned the movie on.. As she was putting inthe DVD, she mumbled to herself with a large smile, " Sameer Singh Khurana..". "Kuch kahaa tu ne?" said Geet with a confused look on her face. "Nothing.. acha shutup.. movie start ho rahi hai"said Meera with a grin. Geet shrugged and both got lost in watching their movie.
"Maan bhai.. aap kahaan hai.." called Sameer as he lookedfor his brother everywhere in the KM. " Main yahaan hoon.. " called Maan from his home office. Sameer entered.. the chocolate boy he was... cute.. smart.. charmer.. he was what every teenage girl would ask for. He smiled and said, " How was your day bhai and meeting ?". Maan turned around and looked at his brother, " Frustrating.. . whats her name.. she owns Handa constructions.. haan.. Geet Handa.. God.. she was irriatating.. so irresponsible and carefree." sighed Maan. Sameer stopped in his tracks and said, " Whats her name again?". Maan repeated it, " Geet Handa". Sameer broke into a bigger smile.. " I knew it.. you would meet her someday". "What?" said Maan in between files. "Maan bhai.. shes GEET HANDA.. we all went to uni together.. she was your silent competition in classes...." said Sameer excitedly. " I don't remember" said Maan as he put down his files. " Geet handa.. *sigh*... she was the dream girl in uni... every guy looved her.. she was simply beautiful... smart.. she didn't care about boys.. she didn't care about how she looked.. just confident and sweet" said Sameer. Maan stopped and looked at his brother and noticed his tone of voice... He knitted his eyebrows together... " And I should care why?". " Maan bhai.. every one paired you up with her.. you guys were the ideal dream couple.. I remember her friends.. the 3 beautiful bunch together left the uni breathless.. Geet, Meera and Shilpa" said Sameer. " Oh I remember... you and Armaan use to mention her.. acha Sam.. zara kaam khatam karne do" said Maan as he went back to his files. "Ok bhai.. see you later" said Sameer with a large grin. As he went out the door he mumbled, " Meera Khanna..." with a large dreamy smile. " Kuch kahaa Sameer?" said Maan as he took his attention away from the files. " Nothing bhai.. I'll see you later" said Sameer as he exited out of the room.
Geet that night returned home and went straight to her room and changed into her night clothes.. She had a weird day... she needed rest...but she couldn't sleep after what Meera mentioned... She didn't care.. but why is she thinking about it? She walked over to the large french windows and looked at the dark sky lit up with the Moon and stars. It was a calm night.. unsually peaceful.. The wind didn't seem cold.. but warm and sweet... it was weird..
After working a couple of hours.. Maan retired to his bedroom to rest a little bit. He had a weird and frustrating day... He didn't feel sleepy.. he didn't know why... he couldn't get what Sameer said out of his mind.. He walked over to his large windows and looked at the dark sky lit up with the light of the Moon and stars. It was a calm night... he didn't know why... he smiled a little.. he felt at peace.. He leaned at the window frame and looked out at the sky.
--------------------End of Flashback-------------------------
" Geett.. are you okay"said Maan as he entered her room to find her looking out of the window totally lost. She startled out of her thoughts and stood up... " Nahi maan.. im okay.. chaliye.. you needed to see me right?". Maan looked at her lovingly and held her hand, " I remember the first time we met... you totally got me with your looks babe..". Geet smiled and said, " Oh ho.. aapko kuch discuss karna tha na? chaliye.. aur ghar pe bata ti hoon.. Mr. Khurana..". Maan smiled and led her out of the room still holding her fingers lovingly.. feeeling their softness just like the first time.
I hope you all enjoyed it!! :)
