Hello All... 🤗A Long long long update again...
PMS to be sent later...😳
Posting PART 46 now...will check for mistakes and errors later 😳
PART 46:
Why Why did I behave like this? Just to control my feelings? And why did I bother so much seeing her with Yash...without knowing the other side of the story...I didn't even allow her to speak...
My one act has hurt Daadi, Annie, and above all Geet...They all were so happy together and its just me...all because of me all three are depressed. Why did I lose my control after seeing her? How am I going to face her? How?
Next day at KM...
At the Breakfast table...its 8:30. Maan comes to the breakfast table. By this time Daadi and Annie would be waiting for him so that they all could have breakfast together. But today they are not to be seen. Maan checks with one of the servants...
Woh saab...Aaani is left for her school and Daadi has informed us to serve breakfast at her room.
Hmm..
This has never happened where Annie doesnt tell him before she leaves to her school and Daadi not blessing him before he leaves to his office. They are really upset with me.
At KC...
Maan reached office early...He gets into his cabin...remembers the last time he was in his cabin was during Friday Evening. Thoughts of that heated conversation over email flashed in front of him and he slowly looks at Geet's cabin. He was sure that she will never come back to this office after all what has happened. He stands up and turns towards the wall and closes his eyes
His cabin door opens...He turns to look who is it. It was none other than Geet...Maan's eyes twinkled with joy...really didn't expect her to continue coming to his office...But sad to see her eyes were swollen...she looks completely pale and her eyes are bent down.
Even Geet didnt expect her boss to be this early. She's shivering within with his presence...not looking at him and not willing to do so...As if he's not present there at all. She keeps the coffee arranging the coaster and turns to leave silently.
Geet...Good Morning... He says it very softly
She happened to leave from there and close his cabin door. Geet couldn't believe her ears...Did he say Good Morning? Not possible...when will I ever stop imagining such silly things...She gives a sad smile to herself.
She didn't answer me...Hmm...what question is this? Have I ever answered to her when ever she wished me...Now I feel how it hurts...I need to talk to her...need to apologise for all my behaviour...
Her left hand covered all the time...she didn't want anybody to see the swell with the scars...even Maan. She's about to get into her cabin when Aadi calls her.
Hey Geet...
Hello Aadi Sir...Good Morning
What happened? You look pale...your eyes are swollen..
Nothing..I was busy for the whole day...also had to prepare for my tests today...and gives a fake smile
How was your Birthday dinner treat yesterday? Hope you and Pinky had a great time.
Ji Aadi Sir...We had a great time.....We missed you so much.
I told you na Geet...The treat remains pending for some other day.
Ssure Sir...Anytime
You are happy right?
Hmm...Controlling her tears to the maximum level.
Acha...tell me...have you prepared for your tests this evening?
I have been preparing...I couldn't do much about it as it was Sunday and moreover my Birthday...gives a fake smile again.
Maan comes out his cabin and calls for Aadi
Aadi...come to my cabin.
Maan hopes she will turn and look at him...But Geet is looking down as if she didnt listen to him at all.
OK Aadi sir...I have to study...will catch you later. Geet again smiles controlling her tears...
She gets into her cabin... Series of incidents happened on Friday and yesterday flashing in her mind and starts crying facing the wall so that no one looks at her. She had to control herself as she has to prepare for her tests. She wipes her tears immediately. She takes her book to start studying. The scar in her left hand is getting darker. The swelling is clearly visible... Its hurting her...she had taken some pain killer but its not helping...She is not even able to hold the text book. She sits facing the wall so that she doesn't get to see her boss.
SS..Ss..Sir..Ggg...Good Morning
Aadi...I need update on the Gurgaon project bank loan.
Geet was telling me that she will inform Sir about this...what happened?
SS...Sure sir..
And...I want to know one more thing...find out if that secretary position in Indian Paints reporting to Yash Malhotra is still available or not...and which other position is vacant in their company.
Ssure Ss...ss..sir...
Hmm..
Aadi leaves from there...Maan looks thro blinds...He could see Geet was sitting facing the wall...her back facing him.
I have never seen her sitting facing wall...why is she doing this? She's trying to avoid me.
In meantime, Daadima calls Aadi...
Good Morning Daadi
Good Morning Aadi bete...Aadi please tell me if Geet has come to office today?
Yes Daadi
Daadi takes a sigh of relief.
She didnt know how to shoot the next question...How is she? Is she fine healthwise?
She is little pale today...guess not keeping well...But seems nothing to worry.
Thanks for the info Aadi...Daadi cuts the call.
Daadi is worried and helpless...For sure she cannot meet Geet like how she used to do it before.
Pinky calls Geet...
Oye Geet...Remember I had left that invoice file with you last time...please get it na...I cant move from here...getting continuous calls today.
No worries dear...I am will be in reception in a minute.
Geet takes the file and leaves towards Reception. Maan looks at her thro blinds..he comes out of his cabin and follows her. Geet hands over the file to Pinky and immediately turns back to leave. She happens to see Maan from a distance...she passes by him as if he's not standing there at all.
He turns back to look at her...she got back to her cabin without even turning back and looking at him once. Why such a cold behaviour...She doesnt look at me...she is not making any angry or sad face...I could see NOTHING
Sir...Need any help?
No..nothing Pinky...
Maan leaves from there and just then Aadi comes to reception..
Good Morning Aadi Sir...
Good Morning Pinky...
So, you enjoyed the dinner treat without me? Aadi was teasing Pinky.
What dinner treat?
Pinky...you and geet went out for Dinner yesterday...Talking about that.
No Aadi Sir... She couldn't make it yesterday. She had been to one of her friend's home and had to have her dinner there. Geet came back home and apologised for not making it...she promised for a dinner treat some other day.
What?
Haan
Why Geet and Pinky are giving different answers? Why? Also Geet was looking pale and weak to me...There's something wrong. Let me find it out.
Aadi again goes back to Geet
Geet...
Ji Aadi sir...Geet jumps from her seat...She's trying to hide her scar and Aadi got to notice it this time.
Geet...what are you hiding?
Nothing Nothing Aadi Sir...She gives a fake smile.
Geet...show me your hand. Aadi comes to her and pulls out her left hand...He is shocked with what he sees.
Ouch...Geet couldnt take the pain..
Geet...what is this?
She remains quite...looking down and tears welling her eyes.
Geet...look at me...what happened?
She's still not answering.
The first aid box is in the pantry...come with me...I'll apply some ointment.
She goes with him silently...without arguing.
Just then, Pinky transfers a call to Maan
Hello
Hello...Am I talking to Mr. Maan Singh Khurana?
Yes
Hello Sir...I'm Mr. Venkat...Calling from St. Bank. I wanted to reach Geetika...but she is not at her desk and the call got transferred to you.
Hmm...
By the way, you must be knowing about me thro Geetika and Aadi
Maan is confused who is this person and what's he talking about.
Aadi had explained me your Gurgaon project...Our management was highly impressed with it.
Now Maan is getting restless...When did Aadi meet him? And why is he mentioning Geet's name?
We are pleased to inform you that your project loan is approved by our bank...
Now he somehow understands that Aadi has met this bank team and explained them our project and the loan has got approved...Thank You...Thank You Mr. Venkat
You have to come down to our office and sign on important papers...will explain you the rules and guidelines once you meet us.
Sure...Shall I meet you today?
Sure..Anytime.
Maan cuts the call...He's so excited that such a major problem is solved...But why Aadi didnt tell me this in the morning? And why Mr. Venkat was mentioning Geet's name again and again?
He looks thro the blinds...Geet was not at her desk. He goes to Aadi's cabin...even he was not available.
What's happening?
Pinky...Did you see Aadi ?
Sir...He spoke to me 10 mins back. Then dont know where he went
He checks with one of the office boy...
Saab...I had seen Aadi Sir and Geet Madam in the pantry.
Maan moves towards pantry
He stops near the door as he get to listen Aadi and Geet talking.
Geet...What is this? How did you get this scar in your hand? It has clear finger prints of some body's had...who did this?
Maan happens to peep inside...he gets to see the scar and swell in Geet's hand..He immediately hides back...closes his eyes again thinking what he has gone and done to her...she was repeatedly telling me that I was hurting her...Instead I strengthened the grip on her hand!...I am really cruel.
Aadi is applying some ointment on the effected area...
Geet...Please speak up...Why did you lie to me that you and Pinky had been for dinner treat...I casually happen to check Pinky and she's giving a different answer...what's happening?
Geet remains quite...tears rolling down her cheeks...she's looking at the pantry door.
No body comes to pantry at this time...now tell me...Who did this to you?
Geet holds Aadi's hand and breaks down crying uncontrollably. Maan listening to her cry and clinching his fist...
Aadi sir...It was my mistake...It was me who went to somebody's home as an uninvited guest...I deserve this punishment...Infact I deserve more
Maan is not able to take it...
What are you saying Geet?
Haan Aadi Sir... This was the first time ever I have visited somebody's home in Delhi...and...She cries uncontrollably with hiccups in between
Geet...you just went to someone's home and they treated you like an animal? Its really not acceptable. Tell me the name of that person who has done such a cruelty to you.
Aadi Sir... Its my mistake but I didnt do it purposefully...She calms down for a minute but still hiccups in between...I realised it yesterday...My family is the one who truely love me...I miss my family...I had to leave them to start with my new life...At this moment I feel like taking the next train to Bangalore...I am missing my Appa-Amma.
Geet...even Aadi is getting emotional now.
But I cannot go back to them...It was my decision to fight this world all alone...I have to face the consequences...She cries closing her face with both her hands.
Geet's every single word is hurting Maan...She came to my home with a sence of belonging...and I...he's ashamed to even complete the sentence. He is feeling helpless as he could do nothing now apart from listening to her cry.
Geet...you need to control your self... We need to consult the doctor as this ointment will not help...
But Sir
Lets not take any chance. The swelling in your hand is what bothering me. Come let's go. The clinic is just a walkable distance from here.
Aadi sir...its not necessary
Ofcourse its necessary...you have tests today...and remember, you had promised yourself that today's tests will be better than what you gave on Friday?
What...Geet had tests on Friday? Maan is still listening to their conversation.
Lets leave.
Maan leaves from there slowly...and comes back to his desk.
Aadi sir..please dont tell anything to Pinky...she will not be able to take it.
Dont worry Geet...Pinky will never know
At the clinic...Doctor examins Geet's hand. The doctor asks for reasons...Geet simply tells the doctor that she got hit somewhere accidently. Aadi is confused why she's not telling openly about what happened.
Doctor ties bandage in her hand. See...I am prescribing these pain killers. they are strong enough. And also prescribing ointment in a form of spray...spray this on the effected area regularly. You should be alright by tomorrow morning.
Doctor...I have university tests today.
I would recommend you to take complete rest for today. You should not put much force on your hand.
But doctor...this test is very important for me.
What time is your test?
It starts at 7:00 PM
Doctor checks the watch..Its 10:30 AM now...OK ...A good sleep of 3-4 hours along with this pain killer will give you good relief. will give you a sleeping pill. Consume both these pills after lunch. It will be better for you to finish your lunch by 1:00 PM so that you get enough sleep and you are all fresh in the evening much relieved with the pain.
Thank you doctor.
And Mr. Aaadi...Let her take a day off and go home.
Ss...Sure Doctor...Thank you.
Aadi and Geet get back to office...Maan is curious to know what the doctor said...but unfortunately not in a position to enquire this with Geet or even with Aadi.
Geet...Take your bag and leave.
But Aadi sir...
Geet...didnt you listen what doctor said? Dont worry about Maan sir...I will inform him
Aadi sir...please speak with him and let me know...otherwise, he will again get upset on me for nothing.
Aadi goes to Maan and checks if Geet can take a day off...
Maan looks thro the blinds...Geet is not at all looking at him. His eyes became moist looking at the bandage on her hand...
Sir...She has unit tests today. These test results add on to her semistar exams
Why can't she take the permission from me? Why Aadi is requesting on her behalf? Again...She would have felt the same for the last 15 days when I routed all tasks to her thro Aadi...simply because I wanted to avoid her...DAMN.
Its ok Aadi...let her take rest.
Thank You sir.
Geet passes by his cabin but doesnt even looks at him. Her ignorance is burning him within. Congrats Maan Singh Khurana...this is what you wanted to achieve...and you have successfully achieved it...she will never look at you again.
By the way Aadi...Some Mr. Venkat called me...from St. Bank..he asked me to visit the bank and sign necessary documenets..
YYes SS...Sir...
Why you didnt tell me this when I asked you about the Bank loan status?
Ss..Sir...woh..Woh...
And why Mr. Venkat was taking Geet's name continuously?
SS..Sir...I didnt tell you because Geet wanted to inform you first.
What?
Yes sir...On last Thursday, she visited my cabin and she found me pacing within my cabin thinking what to do with this bank loan problem. She immediately checked with Mr. Venkat, who happens to be a family friend...Aadi narrates him the complete story.
When did you say you both met Mr. Venkat?
On Friday morning...when you had some clinet meeting out of office...We met him around 10:00 AM.
Maan bangs on his table and turns his seat to face the wall. This means she was out of office on Friday Morning...and that email came to me between 10:00 and 10:30 AM on the same day...That means...He closes his eyes...recalls what all he had told her that day. She was repeatedly telling me that she didnt sent that email to me...I was no way listening to her and I was repeatedly pinpointing her charector and also her family...Its a shame on me...I didnt even allow her to explain...He slowly turns to look at Geet's cabin...Geet...why didnt you tell me that you were out of office? Why Geet Why did you listen to all my harsh words silently?
Here Aadi terms Maan's reaction be an anger...SS..Sir...
Hmm...He's still sitting facing the wall.
I know you are upset with Geet...She requested me not to tell it to you that we plan to meet this bank team.
And on Saturday Morning, Mr. Venkat confirmed to us that the project loan will get approved...he asked us to wait for the formalities to be done...
Sir..Geet was just behaving like a 5 year old kid listening to this news...she wanted to give this news to you by herself...she was prepared to take any reaction from your side...but she was happy that Khurana Construction and its customers are not let down. She was regularly checking with me about your arrival to office...But you didnt come to office on that day.
A restlessness rushes thro him...she was waiting to give me this good news all by herself...forgetting all what happened on Friday evening... "Sir...please think twice before pouring your harsh words...otherwise, you will hate yourself once you know the truth"...How true a comment she made...I really hate myself. He again looks at Geet's cabin...but she was not there...please...I wish to take back all those harsh words which I spoke on Friday and yesterday... I really wish..
SS...Sir...Please dont be upset with Geet...she genuinely wanted to help us thro her personal contacts...that's it. She was worried if she had informed you earlier, you might have stopped her to do so..
What could Maan say or comment...In a normal situation, he would have been the happiest person to have got this project approved by the bank...but he's not happy...he's feeling so low. How rude of me to tell her that she's just an employee of Khurana Constructions that's it and she should know her limits...But still...she went ahead in helping KC with such a difficult project approval?
Aadi...fix an appointment with Mr. Venkat for around 3:00 PM...we will get the papers signed immediately.
Sure Sir.
Aadi takes his leave.
Maan bangs his hand on the table again...Why Geet Why? I really wish you scold me, scream at me...insult me for what I did to you on Friday and yesterday...but you are showing a reaction that's absolutely cold...I am not able to take your silence.
Maan immediately called his system maintenance incharge into his room enquiring about this email scam what happened on Friday.
Maan Sir...Its challenging to trace the person who did this email crime. But still we will work on our ways.
Maan announces over the mike that there will be a staff meeting at 5:00 PM
All staff look at each other...even Sasha-Tasha give each other a confused look. Why this sudden meeting?
At 3:00 PM in the Bank...
Maan and Aadi walk in...
Hello Mr. Maan...Welcome to our Bank...Venkat welcomes him...Hello Aadi how are you?
I'm fine.
And Howz Geetika? Didnt get to talk to her today.
Sir...She took a day off as she wasn't keeping well.
Oh I see...By the way Mr. Maan...Geetika was praising a lot about you.
Maan is wondering how many more humiliating surprises he's going to get today.
She had been repeatedly telling me... "My boss will never let you down...kindly approve this project"
Maan was listening to him silently...what else he could do now...he doesnt deserve a single word out of that praising sentance.
These are the papers and terms...kindly take your time in reading before signing. Our primary condition is to take the services from the new Branch office in Gurgaon.
Yah...Aadi has explained me the details... We are ok with it.
Maan signs on the key papers.
Thank you Mr. Venkat
Mr. Maan...we bank staff thank you for giving such a wonderful project to our new branch.
Maan leaves from there bidding good bye to Mr. Venkat and all other staff there.
Aadi enquires the details about Indian Paints...He comes to Maan's cabin and knocks the door
Yes Aadi...
Ss..Sir...I have got the details from the Indian Paints
The secretary position is filled almost two months back. There's someone by name Meera who has been assigned this post...and as on date they have no positions vacant.
Thanks Aadi...See you at Staff meeting
Maan rolls his eyes with confusion...
that means all I had thought on that day seeing Yash and Geet was...But what Geet had to do with Yash? He again gets back to that day and rewinds...Yash holds her hand but it was more a friendly touch...no intimacy traced..and when they both were dancing together...again, as far as I got to see...They were just holding each other's hands occationally...and again no intimacy traced...Why was I behaving overpossesive and jealous...Wait wait...did I say Over possesive and jealous?
Evening at 5:00 PM
All Staff were present in the hall for the meeting. Sasha-Tasha eagerly waiting to know what this meeting is all about.
Hello Everyone..I have called you all here for discussing something very very important and crutial.
There's a shameful act by one of the employees...They have used somebody else's email address in sending a nasty email addressing it to me...and this happened on Friday Morning
There's a haywire among the staff...Tasha was almost to fall down and Sasha controlled her.
One of the staff asked...Sir...Who's email did they use? What is the content?
I have to keep it confidential...I cant tell the content of the email and I cant tell who's email has been misused here.
Comming to the point...who ever has done this shameful act has made 2 criminal offences...One is getting into a colleague's cabin when that colleague is out of office...second one is using a colleague's email ID... and all strict actions will be taken against that person.
Tasha Rolling her eyes in fear.
I will be seriously investigating this issue until and unless I catch hold of this person...He/She is just one among you...I will know it soon.
And hence forth...I recommend all of you to log off from your systems before you leave. Those who dont have passwords recorded in your system, take the help of the systems administrator. I would never ever entertain such an offence again.
Also, I am going to arrange for cameras to be installed in many more places in office. So, be alert.
After the meeting...
Sasha...Mera matlab hain Maa'm...What's going on? I am sure to get caught now
Dont be a stupid Tasha...We have made a fool proof plan...dont worry.
Aadi Sir...What's this? What's going on in office? Who sent a email what email and thro who's email? Mujhe kuch samaj main nahin aa raha ( I am not able to understand anything) Pinky is all tensed and confused and munching a fresh packet of chips in a hurry...Maan Sir would have told you some thing...
No Pinky...I only knew we all were called for a meeting...didnt know what's all this about and what exactly happened.
This is the right time to talk to Pinky...let me try to find out Whom did Geet Meet yesterday evening. Also I need to ensure Pinky doenst know anything as I promised Geet.
Well Pinkly...I wanted to ask you some thing...Do you know whom did Geet meet yesterday evening?
Why are you asking this Sir?
Just curious to know...See, they are so special that she preferred to have dinner at their place instead of treating you...
WOH...there's some Daadima...that's all I know.
DAADIMA??
Yah...Geet and Daadima happen to meet regularly at that Ganesh Temple and They have become good friends.
Aadi thinks...Is this DAADIMA? Maan Sir's Daadi? Even she called me today and enquiring about Geet's health...What's going on? Something fishy I need to find it out.
At KM...
Maan comes back home...There's no Daadi...no Annie...the hall seems to be deserted. He has no guts to even look at Annie or Daadi till the time he makes up for what he did to Geet.
He gets into the Excercise room...He is getting into tough ti-chi and excercise sessions today. It was clearly visible that he was angry on himself to the core...He was thinking about all what he had been doing to Geet for the last 15 days...feeling the pain that she had been going thro...The height of it proved to be on Friday and Yesterday...There's a small mirror which he breaks with his bare hands with anger. This goes on for an hour and one hour and then he comes out of the room wiping his sweat off with the towel.
SIR...Your juice. Nakul hands over the juice to him
SIR? You always call me Baba. I am always your Maan Baba who has played in your arms...and have been your Baba for the last 27 years.
How it matters SIR? I got to learn a good lesson yesterday evening...A realisation has struck me that I will always be a servant here and I need to know my limits...You are my master and I am your slave.
Please dont tell that..
Its a bitter truth SIR...When an well educated girl working in your office treated this way just because she visited your home...she walked into this Manscon by mistake...Then what about we uneducated servants who take care of the guests? We will be treated even worst...Hain na SIR?
Maan is completely taken back witih what Nakul told him...I have been really cruel just to prove myself...prove my ego...what kind of an impression I have created in the minds surrounding me...He is just standing there motionless. How will I get back things to normal? Just then someone holds his shoulder with a strong grip..He turns to see Daadi who happen to Nakul's talk with Maan silently.
Maan...I know what you are going thro now...But you have to go thro this as you have invited this phase.
Daadima...Main.
All I wish at this point is you soon get back your piece of mind. She pats on his shoulder again and leaves.
Daadima...please...
She leaves from there...Maan could understand that she's still upset with him but she is also finding it difficult to see him in such a situation.
