It was her first day in Khurana Constructions.it was still a dream to her as everything happened in such a flurry she she did not get time to sit back and think.there was nervousness in her as people around her were far more experienced while she was just a beginner.
she noticed that suddenly everyone was checking themselves from head to toe.those were were not their in their respective desks hurried quickly to their places.the receptionist put her chips ka packet underneath.
"Hurry up,Maan Sir has arrived.Back to work" said Adi Sir,Maan's most trusted employee.
A stylist black car made it's way to the parking lot of KC.A bodygaurd was quick to open the door of the car to one of the most successful businessman Maan Singh Khurana.Dressed in black from head to toe,accompanied by six bodygaurds, he looked dashing and hot as ever.His entry in KC was a grand one.He had an excellent style quotient, perfect features and perfect attitude.that's why girls all around the world skipped a beat whenever they saw him.
The staff wished him 'Good Morning' and he wished them back.His eyes fell on Geet.He slowed his pace and almost stopped.his eyes almost popped out.They stood staring at each other.Maan couldn't believe that Geet was standing right in front of him.Geet ,on the other hand was calm.she knew that Maan remembered her.
He want to his cabin, ''So i was not mistaken.the girl whom i had seen there was Geet.But what is she doing here??"he thought
"lagta hai you remember her quite clearly.Amazing.so your routes are not different now. "
"Meera! how come Geet is here?"
"isme itna hyper hone wali konsi baat hai?.she gave an interview,she is remarkable and got selected"
"i am not being hyper.i didn't expect her to join KC"
Geet came in.Maan was surprised by the great amount of confidence displayed by her.None of his employees dared to make eye-conact with him which angered him a lot.But Geet did so with ease
"Good Morning Sir, Maan Sir"
"So Ms handa,welcome to KC?"
"I hope you don't have any problems Sir"
"No,No why would i have.we are always in search of talented people like you."
"so you know that i am talented.Great!"
Outside the cabin-
"Geet, was that a superior-sabordinate conversation??"
"I don't know Meera.Atleast it was better than our corridoor conversation!"
They both laugh to her reply.
"Any ways,there is meeting in the conference hall after half an hour."
"Ok i will be there."
Geet's cabin was just adjacent to that of Maan.they both could see each other working in their respestive cabins,
In the Conference Room-
"i have called you all here to say that i have thought a newcomer who will assist me in Mr Fernandes's project"
"But Maan,i was supposed to assist you.you had chosen me."said Sameera
Saamera called herself as Maan's girlfriend but everyone knew that Maan was not interested in her.
"Samira,Please!we must give newcomers a chance to prove their merit.Right Geet? "
"Yes Sir..."
"ok.then Geet will be assisting me in this venture."
Before Geet could say anything, Sameera revolted
"But Maan,she has just come.she is not fit for this project . "
"Sameera,i take my decisions. undestand??"he angrily glared at her.she couldn't say anything further.
After everyone had left.Meera asked Maan why he had chosen Geet.
"you only told that she is quite efficient.let me also see how 'remarkable' she is."came the reply.
Outside the Conference Room-
Sameera confronted Geet
"Geet! how dare you take away my project? "
"I did not take it!he appointed me."
"you could have refused it!"
"Why would I??i have come here to work not for any other purpose.I m not interested in your 'boyfriend' "
she started to go.
"and one more thing Sameera Maam.i think i am far more fitter than you for this project"said she with a smirk.
Geet was very joyous and playful in her work.Maan very often would get annoyed as she didn't take her work seriously.But the end results were excellent.So finally Maan had to admit that she was at par with him.The presentations given by her impressed the clients to the core and one of them went on to say that She must assist Maan in their project.
That was the first time they were officially working together.initially they had some tiffs but work was to be completed.Maan was amazed to see how Geet handled things.she was unpredictable and spontaneous.she remained optimistic even in darkest situations and always looked into the brighter side of difficulties.She would often use her 'Hei babaji...' which Maan found queer but later got used to it, He discovered that Geet was more or less a tomboy.She didn't care how she looked.what mattered to her was inner beauty which she had.
Geet,on the other hand was amazed by the thought that she had wanted to spend all day long with Maan when they were in college.Now seven years down the line it actually materialised.though she did't have any feelings for him now,the thought made her smile.Geet discovered that Maan had all the qualities which every girl would want to have in her man.
Few months later-
.the project was successfully completed.Maan and Geet came to know each other well.Subconsciously they both got used to each other but they ceased to understand that.
Once they were invited to attend a dinner party of one of their clients
"I don't want to go,Meera"
"What??you are probably the first girl refusing to go with Maan"
"I hate these parties.there is dance,drinks e.t.c e.t.c"
"ok.poor media people!they wanted to have a talk with Geet Handa.lekin ab kya kare!abhi koi tumhe force toh nahi kar sakta na!"
"aisa kya??thik hai.if you are telling then..."
"Great! Maan is coming to pick you up in the evening.i have called the parlour people.they will come to your place and dress you"
"But i am comfortable in my usual jeans and..."
"no 'ands' and 'buts' Geet"
Maan was waiting outside her house for Geet.She didn't take so much time to dress up before,he thought.
finally she emerged.Maan was stunned by her beauty.He didn't see Geet like this before.she wore a white anarkali suit,her hair left open and jhumkas in her ears,a tad bit of make-up but that was not really needed,he thought as she was beautiful as a princess.
"Maan...i mean Maan Sir.chalein?"
"huh...yes yes letz go.waise bhi because of you we are late."
"Meri wajah se?? hello! you yourself told me that it's better to go late."
"yes yes,now toh you will tell that only"
...and they went on and on
