PART 48:
One thing you can always do is to FURTHER DAMAGE...Please go ahead and do so..I still have some strength left within me to take more pain...She tells this and leaves from there nailing his heart with those words...those words which were nothing but the truth...those words which describes her pain and his ruthlessness
He slowly turns around from the entrance
What have I done? Why why did I behave like this to the extent where I couldnt even answer her.
She is much more hurt than angry...I am the reason to for this...
WHY...WHY...Why did I hurt her...he bangs his right hand on the table...I twisted her hand with this hand...how could I do this to her?
He just sits there in the meeting room...not willing to get into that office crowd for some time...He walks down almost after 30 mins... and he still didnt find Geet. He immediately rushes to Aadi's room.
Aadi...Aadi...I am not finding Geet anywhere.
SS...Ss...Sir...You are still not satisfied with abusing her on Friday and Sunday? What did you tell her now...
AADI!
SS...SIR...I understand we all are employees here but we are human beings...we are not made of rock or stone. What did Geet ever do to you? Why are you treating her like a piece of...He stops.
Aadi...Believe me...I just wanted to apologize to her...I went to tell her sorry..but she stopped me half way and she left from there...She didnt even allow me to tell sorry...I dont know where she went now.
Dont worry sir...she is not a weak person as you think her to be...I know she is somewhere within this office...if not within this office, she's within this building I am sure...I will find it out.
Geet straight away goes to the corner shed of the terrace. No one comes there. She just screams and cries cuddling in one corner...Series of incidents in past 8 months...her disastrous marriage which changed her life for ever...she had become a stranger for her own family...Her Appa-Amma never thought her to be a burden...they love her a lot...but still her relationship with them changed...she feels she can never go back to them like she would have done before that marriage...She has to live alone...all alone... She had been living her life with all smile and positiveness inspite of so much negativeness she got in her life...but its a cruel world never encouraging her to be positive...never allowing her to trust anyone in any form...even if she does she pays a heafty price for it.
At this point of time, her mobile rings...she sees who it is and trying to wipe her tears and take long breaths to relax before taking the call...
Hello Amma
Hello Kondhai (Baby)
Enna Aachu? Unnoda kural sariyillai (What happened? You sound low)
Enaku konjam jaladosham pidichirukku adhuthan (I have cold..that's why)
Marundu mathirai eduthukko (Take syrup/Medicine)
Hmm
Yen rendu naala phone pannalai? (Why no phone calls for last two days?
Sorry Amma...officela naraiya velai. (Busy at office)
Un puranda naal eppadi pochu? Unnoda tests eppadi ezhuthinai? (How was your Birthday? How did you do in the tests?)
She keeps quite for a while...takes a long breath again and continues
Ellam nalla badiya pochu Amma...Test Result seekarama vandurum (All went fine...results will be out soon)
Kondhai...I just wanted to talk to you on something...please listen to me once.
Hmm..
I am all worried from the time you have moved to Delhi...All fine with you right?
Yes Amma
Ennathaan irundhalum, nee anga taniya irukaradhu enakku sari padalai. Nee edhukku anga kashtam padanum? Nee tirumbi vanduru kondhai...Namma ellam onna sendhu ellathaiyum sari pannidalam... (what ever it is, you are alone there and this is bothering me...why you need to struggle there? Come back here...we all will be together and get all things right)
Geet remains quite.
Apparam oru nalla mapillai parthu unaku kalyanam seiyalam..Sarithane? (And then...will find a nice groom for you and get you married...Am I correct?)
Amma...Deivu seinju ennoda kalyanam pechu edukathengo... (Please dont talk about my marriage) Geet starts crying
Kondhai...I didnt mean to hurt you...being your mother I genuinely want to see you happy.
Amma...I have lost all trust in marriage and relationship...She closes her eyes... Please never take the marriage topic again. Which ever part of the world I am I wish to be my sweet Appa-Amma's daughter...Please Amma...
Kondhai...Even her amma has tears in her eyes
I am very happy to be single...God got me married once...that's enough for me for this life.
Kondhai..
Amma...Enakku officela naraiya velai irukku..naan apparama pesaren...hmm? (I have lot of work to do in office...will talk later...hmm?)
She turns to leave...and climbing down the stairs when Aadi sees her.
GEET GEET...Where were you? What happened? Why your eyes are swollen again.
Nothing Aadi sir...My mother called me...I just got little emotional talking to her.
Geet for heaven sake stop hiding things from me...Did again anyone tell you anything?
No Aadi Sir...Nothing like that...By the way, even if anybody tells anything now, It will not effect me...because I am broken to that level.
Geet...Aadi is really emotional for her.
Dont worry sir..I am fine
Come..just some more time left for the meeting...you go and refresh yourself now.
Hmm...
In meantime, Maan sits worried as he's not able to know where Geet went...
Geet's phone rings...Maan happen to hear it and took it immediately from his cabin
Hello...
Oh hello...Sorry I thought this is Geetika's extention...
It is but she's not at her desk...
Are you Aadi?
No..I'm Maan...Maan Singh Khurana...
Ayyo (Oh no) sorry...I'm Geetika's Appa..I mean her dad
Oh...hello uncle...he recalls what all he told Geet about her family...he is now moved with the softness in her dad's tone...Moreover they took care care of Annie so well and all that he could give that family in return is accusation. He is not at all able to gather enough courage to say or comment anything. He's worried if Geet had discussed anything with her dad about what all happened on Friday and Sunday...He immediately says SORRY UNCLE
Ayyo...why are you saying sorry...I should say sorry as I have tried to call her during office hours...You know something...Geetika had literally warned us not to call during office hours and he laughts... but what to do...Me and Geetika's Amma...I mean Mom were worried for her...as eagerly waiting for her call since Sunday evening...but we didnt hear anything from her...
Maan is again moved with what her dad tells as he very well knows the reason behid it. She wouldn't have called because she was really upset with what all happened and she has been hiding it from her parents.
And now when I tried calling her on her mobile, it was continuously busy.
Geet comes back to her desk...Maan looks thro the blinds and takes a long sigh of relief
Uncle...she's come back to her desk...you can talk to her..
Wait wait dear...I want to talk to you for a minute if you dont mind
Sure uncle...go ahead...
Please dont tell Geetika I asked this...
Hmm...
You know something...My daughter praises a lot about her company, boss and colleagues...I really hope she is doing equally well with her job and tasks...If there's any mistake from her side, then kindly excuse her as she's an absolute fresher and also never stayed away from home like she's now.
Maan closes his eyes...No uncle...she's doing excellent in her job...not to worry.
Hmm...really glad and nice talking to you...
Same here uncle...
Bye..
Bye
Geet's dad cuts the call and he immediately calls Geet and they talk for some time. Maan looks at her thro the blinds...she was talking with her dad pacing from one end of her cabin to another...and happy to see the smile on her face.
Geet also looks at him and her smile fades...Oops...what he will think...Personal call at office hours!
Appa...naan apparama pesaren (Will talk to you later)..Bye.
She is all set to attend the meeting...
At the meeting room...
Maan, Geet, Aadi, Sasha, Tasha all present in Meeting
Sasha makes a presentation on Manish Shah's project...
Sasha is too over confident...
MK..I am sure this client will fall for my project presentation
Maan was just lost in Geet who was sitting next to Aadi and making sure not to look at Maan
Geet was fully concentrating on what Sasha was presenting which went on for more than half an hour and Geet was noting each and every point. Her presentation was absolute rubbish and disgusting...Geet was getting restless.
What is this...Its very clear Sasha has not read my business planning report at all...she has again focused on her own assumptions...Is this Sasha really an architect by profession? I wonder, she might purchased her degree from one of those Chandni Chowk shops.
Wonder what Manish ji will tell...Anyways...I dont want to interfare.
Maan asks for comments from everyone...
Geet is still noting down the points silently.
Geet...do you have any comments? Maan is curious to know...but she answers Aadi.
Aadi sir...I have noted down the key points of today's meeting...will start preparing reports
Oh..I was the one who stopped her to interfare in this project...and she has taken it seriously and stopped commenting on it..hmm
The rest of the day progresses smoothly...Geet is keeping herself busy with some or the other task...making sure she doesnt think anything that would bother herself.
Maan has been looking at her every now and then thro blinds but she was sitting facing the wall most of the time.
Maan gets into Aadi's cabin after office hours and Geet left from office.
Aadi...
YY...es SS...Sir
Aadi...I have come to talk something personal...
Aadi keeps quite...
Geet is not willing to even listen to my apologies..atleast you listen...I really didnt mean to behave with her like this...I really dont know what took over me.
SS..Sir...What ever it is...what happened shouldn't have happened.
You know some thing...GG..EET has never even for once complained to me about you..for the last 15 days she has been going thro enough...but all she was concerned was to know what is bothering you.
Maan listens to him quietly with sadness in his face.
Even that email thing...how could you even think Geet would have sent it for you? She was so busy on that Friday...she had tests in the evening...then how could she? That too to a Sushi Restaurant? She took every behaviour of your's positively... but what happened on Sunday has completely shattered her.
Aadi...I am feeling guilty for what all I have done.. Even Annie and Daadima have stopped talking to me... Now all hopes that I have is YOU...and please dont stop coming to my home...I will never be able to forgive myself for that and Daadima will never talk to me...
I will SS...Sir...I will...on one condition that Geet forgives you and she comes out of her shell.
I am trying to Aadi...and I need your help in this as you know Geet better.
SS...Sir...I will help you for sure. Dont worry...she is very kind hearted girl and she never remains angry on anyone for long time.
Maan smiles and hugs Aadi..Aadi couldnt believe it as it was for the first ever time Maan has huged him
At Geet-Pinky's residence...
Geet was feeling like going to Ganesh Temple but she didnt go...She preferred to stay back at home and relax as last few days has been quite hectic.
The door bell rings...
Geet opens the door and shocked to see who has come...
DAADIMA...and she hugs daadi...
Daadi is feeling guilty to the core...she slowly responds to her hug
Daadi...Aap yahan? Please come in
Daadi was further taken back with her casual behaviour.
Geet bete...how are you?
Leave about me Daadi...you tell me..how are you? and howz your health? Did you meet the doctor again?
I'm all fine beta. I'm regularly in touch with the doctor
Pinky comes to the hall and she's shocked to See Maan Sir's Daadi...and she's shivering.
Daadi...She's Pinky...my childhood frined and also colleague..
NN...Namasthe Daadi...
Hi beta...I have seen her..she sits in KC reception.
Daadi..what will you have?
Its ok...a glass of water will do..
I will get it for you and you should have coffee/tea
Geet...You sit with Daadi...will get water and coffee for her.
Thanks Pinky.
Once Pinky leaves...Daadi holds Geet's hand.
Geet beta..Beleted Birthday wishes...
Thanks Daadi
Why didnt you tell me on Sunday that it was your Birthday..
I was about to tell you ...just then...and she keeps quite
I am extremely sorry for Maan's behaviour and for hiding such a truth from you. I didnt tell you that I'm your boss's grandmother as I dint want any change in your behaviour towards me.
Geet holds Daadi's hand...Daadi...please...please relax...Let me tell you...we are still good friends and will always remain to be one...no body can spoil our relationship.
Daadi smiles with joy.
Beta..woh Maan...
Daadi..please leave it...lets talk something else
Geet didnt want Daadi to feel low and this effecting her health.
Par beta..
Please daadi...Ok tell me...howz Annie?
She misses you a lot...she always keeps talking about you..and even she's upset with Maan to the extent she has not uttered a single word to him since Sunday evening.
Please make Annie understand...she is such a kid you see
Pinky gets cup of coffee and water for Daadi
Thanks beta.
Daadi could see that Geet is not atall talking about Maan...She used to talk so much about her boss being DD and Ravan and what not...but today, she is not complaining like a kid...this shows she's upset with Maan to that extent.
Daadi..you didnt ask me about my yesterday's tests...makes a baby face
Arre Haan...how was it?
I did it so well and now preparing for the project...and Geet goes non-stop.
Daadi listens to her quietly...she knew Geet is broken from within but she's hiding it just for the reason that Daadi's health should not get effected.
Precap: Manish Shah and Sasha 😊
