PART 18
DELHI
Tender Bid @ gurgaon!
Many businessmen were waitin. Ansh was sitting nxt to Dev. Everybody is anxiously waiting for the closd tender to open.Ansh already had a victory smile. He had somehow leaked Dev's figures nd bidded for an amount which is less than Dev by a small margin.Unaware of all this Dev greeted Ansh with a formal smile.
Ansh already knew wat hapnd @ the conference btwn Maan & Geet! But he dnt knw abt Sameera as Sameera is nevr anywhere near Maan.
(keepin geet in mind)Ansh: So Dev, i hv heard that Maan Singh Khurana is goin to tie the knot very soon?
Dev(thinking he ws askin abt Sameera): Yes,we al wish it happens esp. Dadima
Ansh : hmm... That means u vl hav one more boss to obey.Dont u get tired being jst a mere worker of ur dictator bro? 😡
Dev: Stop this non-sense! How dare u talk like this to me? Agar bro ko patha chala...
Ansh(laughs 😈): bro? C u r still a kid. Complain to ur 'Maan bro!' (in a mock tone)
Dev: u vl never change. (shooks his head & moves to a farther seat.)
Ansh(with a wicked smile to himself): But i vl change u one day!
Maan Singh Khurana once u hav ur perfect family i vl shatter it and break u forever! 😲
The officials announce: After goin through the tenders,there were two which v had finalised!
One is in the name of Dev Khurana & the other is Ansh Virani! Both designs were xtremely gud. But the budget of Mr. Khurana's design is 600 crore but Mr.Virani vl b providing the same for Rs. 500 crores. By default Mr. Ansh Virani wins the open bid...😲
Ansh hs a victory smile.Dev dejected!
The official (continues..) : But we still hav a secret tender which vl b opened nw!
If Ansh beats that the project vl b his.
Ansh confident.
Dev surprised!
The peon brngs it & officer opens it.They hav a small talk among themself and then one person stands up & announces.
Officer: Mr.Ansh's tender differs by a small amount frm the closd tender...
And the project now belongs.. (Ansh confident..abt to stand up) to Mr. Maan Singh Khurana!!! 😎
Ansh turns red in rage 😡.He turns to go back bt couldn't move,stood their dumbstuck. Maan Singh Khurana enters! (Maan bgm)
(He is wearing red shirt,black pants with black waistcoat)
Maan is accompanied by Adi & his bodyguards.He smirks in a sense of victory while passing through Ansh. Ansh falls bck to his seat not able to take the intensity of Maan's eyes!
Dev lukd xtremely happy😊.Maan completed the necessary formalities & ordered Adi to sort out the rest.
Meanwhile Ansh approaches Dev
Ansh(to Dev): see Dev this is my pt. If ur brother had already planned to get this project y did he send u here? U r a clown.
Maan(fuming in anger): Enough! Ansh ek aur shabd nhe. ye to meri sharafat he jo tumhare jaise admi ke samne khade hoke baat kar rha hu.ye jante hue ki tumne humare hi office me apne jasus rakhe he. Lekin Maan Singh Khurana ke hote hue tum Khuranas ke ek patta bi nhe hila skte. Dubara aisi galti ki to tumhara wo hal kar dunga ki dekne wale bi kaap utega ye sochke ki Maan Singh Khurana ke khilaf jane ka anjam itna bura ho skta he. So u bettr f*** 🤬 off!
(maan bgm!)
Maan leaves.
Dev(running behind him):bro hw do u knw al these? Is it true?
Maan:vl tel u. Nw lets go.
------------------------------------
@ KC
Geet was roaming here & there in the office talking.She hvnt seen Maan since the party.It had been almost a week.Now, she is sure that he vl b there @ any moment. Geet lost thinking about facing Maan.She bumps into Pinky.
Pinky:oye geet kya hua? U seem to be lost always since u hv returned.
Geet: nhe pinky aisa kuch nhe he.
Sasha(interferes): kaise kuch nhe ? Hmm.. After being so close with MK hw can she b in her senses? Her plan is workin so wel.hmm.. I hv to admit geet u r really talented, otherwise seducing MK is not that easy! 😈
Geet: Sasha ma'm u r crossing the limit nw! 😡
Sasha: o really Geet? Where were ur limits when u were dancing with MK?
(She threw some photosof Maan & Geet in frnt of the whole office) Hav a luk @ this guys! I wonder if u were so close in public wat would hav u done wen u were 2gether the previous nite wen he dropped u to ur room frm the pub? U hv dne that purposefully rite! Foolproof plan to trap MK.But i didn't knw MK had such weird taste.. U knw to slee...
(TASH!!)🤢The sound of the slap echoed in the office.Sasha's cheeks had clear finger prints of Geet
Geet: Enough! I would hav tolerated any of ur insult about me. But i wnt tolerate a single word against Maan or our relatn. 😡
(At this time Maan enters but stops to find out whats the scene goin on.He saw the photos all over the floor.They were realy lukin vulgar with some editing dne by Sasha.Maan understood wat would hav hapnd.He concentrated on geet's words again. She & others were still unaware of Maan's presence.)
Geet: A filth like u dnt even hav the right to say his name. Do u knw wat kind of a person is Maan? How good a friend is he? Above all hw good a human being is he. Yes Maan & I are not just colleagues. We knew each other even b4 i came to Delhi. And the place he holds in my heart is slightly above than even my babaji!! U cnt evn undrstand our relation bcoz it is so divine nd u need to b atleast human to understand all these.
👏
Sasha held her head down. Pinky pickd up al the photos & destroyed it.Everybody lukd @ geet with respect in their eyes. Maan felt a sense of pride. He cnt help but fall for her again & again. But at the same time he was scared. Was this the feeling he saw in her eyes the other day? The place he hold in her heart... Will it b broken wen she comes to knw the truth...😕 Watwere his feelings for her?
He shook frm his thots wen Adi called him. The staff members were still crowded @ the central area.
Maan: i dnt pay my workers to stand & stare. Everybody back to work nw! Sasha come to my cabin!
Sasha gives a victorious luk to geet.Everyone including Geet knew that Maan would hav some clue abt the whole incident.Then y he is stil callin Sasha?😕
Some of the employees peeped in through the blinds.Pinky also joined dragging Geet with her.
Maan:Sasha wat was goin on there?
Sasha:sir, that Geet insulted me. I askd her abt a file.She refused to reply me & even slapped me. 😡 🤬
Maan: hmm... Which file were u askin for?
Sasha: sir, wo Greater Kailash project.
Maan: But u r not incharge of it.Then why do u want that?
(Sasha,geet & all other staff were literally pulling their hair! Wats Maan up2?😕)
Sasha:yes MK , Bt jst generally.For the welfare of KC u knw.I had some doubts...
Maan: Doubts?? R u sure those were ur doubts??
Sasha:i m nt gettin u MK! 😕
Maan: hmm.. May b this vl help u!
He threw some photographs on the table!! Sasha was shockd.
Sasha screamed NOOO... 😲
Maan: Wat do u think u r the nly one who can just play with anybody's emotions??
(outside) Romeo concentrated on a few pics that lied on floor.
Romeo:hey its that guy... Ansh! 😲
Those were very intimate photos of Sasha with Ansh in some club. Sasha is his GF. Actually one of his GF. He is merely using Sasha jst 4 his benefits which she is unaware of.Of course she is also not that loyal.
Sasha(shockd😲): MK, hw can u questn me abt my personal life?
Maan: Personal? U r standing in frnt of me nly bcoz i share a personal relatn with ur father, our Munshiji. Otherwise it wouldn't take me a few seconds to put u behind the bars!
Sasha: wat hve i done?
Maan(shouts😡): 😡Stop it! Stop ur drama. I knw very well wat u hve been doin on my back! I knew it well b4.Jst to confirm i askd u to remain there when the tender ws finalised.I read the amount loud & then sent a special secret tender which only Adi & I knew. And u fell in my trap.
Sasha(petrified): nhe MK... 🤢Wo i thnk some1 trapped me. I dn knw...
Maan: U r trapped by Maan Singh Khurana & i wnt let u go easily. I would forgive an enemy bt not a back-stabber. Even then i would hv given u a chance but u made the biggest mstke of ur life by insulting Geet. I wnt spare u @ any cost.
{(All r shockd!)😲
Manisha: ewww ye to sach much dayan he...
}
Maan:Adi...
Adi runs in.
Maan:Make sure she doesn't get ny benefits frm the office.She shouldn't b e working in any other firm with this black mark on her career.And tel her that if she doesn't return the original of geet's pics,these pics vl spread all over within a matter of second.
Adi:y..y..yes sir
Maan (to Sasha): Get lost. Ur career is all ovr. Nly thing can do frm nw on is sme hi-profile spying.
Sasha: MK plz.. Dnt do this to me! I beg u!
Maan: Get Out! U r fired!! 😡 😡
As Sasha leaves al KC employees rejoice outside.
Maan saw them. He lukd @ geet.Their eyes met... after one week.
Maan turned around & shouted: Back to work u al NOW! 😡
Every1 ran.He gave a faint smile seeing her running. 😊
------------------------------------
KM : Dinner time
Dadi: Maan munshiji cald me.Wo Sasha..
Maan: Dadima i dnt want to talk abt that.I hv already made my decision.
Dadi: par Maan beta...
Maan(luks @ Dadi a bit annoyed 😡)
Dadi tryn to cheer him up!
Dadi: waise Maan y dnt u try that pasta? Sameera ne banaya.
Maan:kyu humare cook kaha he?
Dadi: Maa..n she made it 4 u.
Maan chokes & luks at Geet.She is fully concentrating on the food not evn bothering abt wats happening around her.Maan shook his head😕.Sameera serves the pasta.
Maan: yuck! Wats dis?
Sameera: pasta! Kyu Maan?
Maan: put a label othrwise no one can guess that.
Sam:but wats the problm with... (she tastes it herself..)ewww.. Sorry i ddnt chck.
Maan: fine i'm done.
Dadi: are beta kuch aur to kha lo.
Maan:bhuk nhe he...
Maan was really annoyed😡.But he wasn't sure whether it was the bad pasta or the indifference in geet's face even after seeing him with Sameera,that troubled him more? He stood in the balcony with his hands crossed over his chest. Suddenly a pack of Bournville dark chocolate came in front of him, a soft thin hand holding them! His eyes brightened on seeing those slender yet beautiful fingers...
Maan: Geet? 😊
Geet: no chocolate! I thot u might be hungry!
Thats the 1st time they talked other than work since their 1st dance.Maan melted away,even more than chocolate😉.He wasn't angry any more.Geet too wantd 2 end this uncertainity.
Maan: Chocolate & Maan Singh Khurana?
Geet quickly checks the cover.
Maan:kya hua?
Geet: isme to khe nhe likha BANNED 4 MSK!! (laughs.. ) 😆
Maan: gee..t 😡
Geet: Maa..n ek to me apke liye ye layi aur ap he ki mujpe chilla rhe ho?
Maan: i dnt eat chocolates! (in a calm tone)
Geet: There s always a 1st time.
She shoves it in his mouth. Maan chases her and does the same. They both hav their sweet dinner😳. Both feel that atlast things are normal btween them. But are they really? If so, hw long vl it last?😲
------------------------------------
Next day @ KC.
At the reception area Geet & Tasha were discussing some files. A gentle voice disturbs them.
X: xcuse me, Can i see Mr.Maan Khurana?
Geet: Do u hav an appointment Ma'm ?
X: emm... Actually no.Just tel him Piya wants to meet him.
Geet: But he is in a meeting. U need to wait for 3 hrs!
Piya: But i'm in a hurry. Can u jst inform him once?
Geet:ok.
She informs him.
Maan: Realy,Piya?? I cnt believe this. I'm coming .just two mins.
Geet : (shockd 😲& may b annoyed 😡or is it 'J' 😉)Ok sir.(to Piya) u may wait. He vl b here...
Maan rushes... He gives Piya a warm hug.
Maan:Y r u standing here? Just cme to my cabin. (He takes her to his cabin ignoring Geet completely)😲 😲
Geet luks @ his cabin. Maan felt very comfortable with Piya. She had never seen him talkin so freely even @ home xcpt to her & Annie.
Geet was becomin restless.Who is this girl?
Maan calls her on phone.
Maan: geet, dnt allow anyone inside my cabin for the nxt hour, ok?
Geet : ok SIR! (hungs up) 😡
Geet mocks him : don't allow nyone in my cabin for the nxt hr!
