Chapter - 4
"So you didn't get to attend the interview then?", Meera asked.
"No, I couldn't but I don't really feel all that bad about it because I know that what I did was the right thing.", Geet replied with a slight smile.
"You're right. Anyway, don't worry about the job. I got a call from a friend of mine about an hour ago. She told me about a company in which the post for the HR Manager is vacant. They are holding an interview tomorrow. You should go for it.", Meera said.
"Really? That's great! Thanks a ton Meera!", Geet replied happily.
"Thank you ki bacchi! Bhool gayi kya? Remember, dosti mein no 'S' word, no 'T' word.", Meera said, putting her hands on her hips. ( This one's for you Divya😉)
"Oops! Sorr' mera matlab hai'.", Geet walked towards Meera and gave her a hug from the back. "Ab theek hai?", she asked.
"Haan.", Meera said while holding her hands and smiling.
"Waise woh dadima theek toh hai na?", Meera asked.
"Yup! Her grandson came and took her back.", Geet said while sitting down on the couch, reaching for the newspaper.
"What did you say her name was?", Meera asked while doing the dishes.
"Savitri Devi Khurana.", Geet replied.
"Savitri Devi Khurana'.", Meera murmured. "Khurana'.where have I heard that name before?", she thought to herself. Suddenly a thought struck her. "Could it be?", she thought.
"Geet, what's her grandson's name?", Meera asked curiously.
"Umm''some Maan Singh Khurana", Geet replied nonchalantly while reading an article that caught her interest.
"Maan Singh'.MAAN SINGH KHURANA!", Meera screamed all of a sudden as she realized who Geet was talking about.
Geet jumped all of a sudden hearing Meera scream.
"What happened Meera? You screamed like you saw a ghost or something." Geet said, looking at her friend in concern.
"Geet'.", Meera said while quickly sitting down on the couch beside her.
"That guy you met wasn't just some Maan Singh Khurana. He's THE MAAN SINGH KHURANA!", Meera said, putting emphasis on 'the'.
Geet gave her a "So what?" look.
"Oh fo! He's not just some random guy. He is Delhi's'.Delhi kya, India's most eligible bachelor and business tycoon, one of the richest men in the country. He's famous and well known internationally as well aur tu keh rahi hai 'some Maan Singh Khurana'!", Meera said, having a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Oh! I didn't know that. Anyway, it's not like I care. I just wanted to make sure that nothing happened to his dadima.", Geet replied uninterestedly and went back to reading the newspaper.
"Geet...do you know? Girls just wait for an opportunity to get a glance at him and here you managed to accomplish the impossible by not just meeting him but also by talking to him, that too just within a month of coming to this city! That's amazing!", Meera exclaimed.
"Whatever you say Meera.", Geet said while still continuing to read the newspaper.
"Oh fo Geet! Suddenly it's become like all this doesn't interest you anymore or you don't want to talk to me.", Meera said disappointedly while folding her arms and looking away while pouting.
Geet looked at her and finally put the newspaper away. She turned towards her and said "That's 'cos you're right Meera. None of this interests me. He could even be a prince for all I care. Dekh! Right now I am only interested in making sure that I get a job and manage to set things straight in this already messed up life of mine. I may not feel the same way about things which might have interested me sometime back. I am not 'that Geet' anymore. So if I don't show interest please don't think that I am ignoring you. Ok?", Geet said.
"Ok, I understand", Meera said with a slight smile.
"Thanks! Anyway, it's getting late now and I have an interview to attend tomorrow, so good night!", Geet said.
" Good Night!", Meera replied. "You're right! You aren't 'that Geet' anymore. Whatever happened to you a month ago has completely changed you", Meera thought to herself sadly. " I just hope that someone comes into your life and will make you 'that Geet' again, the Geet who laughed and smiled freely, who would welcome life with open arms and would always think positively no matter what happened.", Meera prayed,

"Toh aap hain Mr.Maan Singh Khurana?"
"Are you sure you're Mr.Maan Khurana, 'cos you seem to take a lot of time just to confirm that?"
Maan was sitting in his study in his mansion, rolling the paper weight on his desk, lost in her thoughts, her smile, her voice, her eyes with a slight smile on his face.
He was broken out of his reverie with the shrill ring of his mobile.
"Yes Adi!", he said, answering the call.
"S.. s..sir woh jo candidates aye the aaj ki interview ke liye, Sasha and I have finalized around five of them. I just called to remind you that they will be having the final round of the interview with you tomorrow at 10:00 am"., Adi said.
"Hmm...ok, thanks for reminding me Adi.", Maan said.
"You're welcome sir", he said.
"Anything else?", Maan asked.
"Ji sir. You have a meeting with Mr.Chopra day after tomorrow sir.", Adi said.
"Ok.", he said.
"That's all sir.", Adi said.
"Hmm...", Maan cut the call.
"Interview haan...let's see how it goes.", he said to himself while getting off his chair and going out of his study, heading towards his bedroom to call it a night.
