Chapter – 5
"Oh no! Mera jhumka kahan hai?".
"Haye Babaji! Where did I keep my phone".
"I am sure I kept my jhooti on the shoe rack".
All of this was being looked at by a pair of eyes which very clearly showed the irritation of the beholder.
"You know what Geet? You're nothing but a chalti phirti disaster!", Meera told her while sitting at the dining table and drinking her tea.
"Yaar Meera, taane marne ke badle come help find my things na!", Geet said while looking behind the shoe rack.
"Haan,haan. Aa rahi hoon.", Meera said and started helping her look for her things.
Half an hour later:
"Geet, where are you running off to? Sit down and have your breakfast.", Meera told her.
"I don't have the time Meera. I am running late.", Geet said while snatching a paratha off the plate and stuffing it in her mouth while she ran towards the door.
"Whif me luf. (Wish me luck)",she said with her mouth full.
"All the best", Meera said while trying to stifle her laughter.
And with that Geet ran out of the house, trying to get to the place of interview on time.
"Kya hoga is ladki ka?", Meera thought to herself with a smile.

"Sir the candidates for the interview have arrived.", Adi informed Maan while adjusting his spectacles.
"Send them in one by one Adi.", Maan said while going through a file.
The interview went on for about an hour or so. Finally a candidate was selected.
"Congratulations on getting appointed. Welcome to Khurana Constructions! We'll be expecting you here at 9:00 am sharp. All the best!", Adi said and shook hands with the selected candidate.

Meera was busy designing the interiors for her new project when the bell rang. She opened the door only to find Geet looking very distraught.
Immediately Meera understood what might have happened. Once she closed the door behind her,Meera tried to console Geet, "Yaar, iss baar nahi mila toh kya hua? We'll try again na. Don't lose hope. I'll search for another company where they'll have posts open."
She was about to go take the newspaper when Geet jumped from behind and hugged her and screamed, "Mujhe job milgayi!!".
"WHAT! That's awesome!", Meera said while giving her a bear hug.
"So when do you have to join?", Meera asked her.
"Tomorrow. In fact I have to negotiate a deal for them with another company and so they have given me a file which I have to go through completely. They want me to be there at the venue of the meeting at 10:00 am.", Geet said chirpily.
"Yaar, isn't that a bit too much, that too on your very first day?", Meera asked a little apprehensively.
"That's what I thought as well, but everything was so last minute for their company as the previous HR Manager had to quit immediately, due to unavoidable circumstances. Anyway, all I care about is that I got the job. Nothing else matters.", Geet said with an optimistic smile.
"That's right! I am so happy for you. Anyway, this calls for a celebration!", Meera said. "We are going out for dinner tonight, my treat", she declared.
"But Meera…", Geet hesitated.
"No but,wat Geet. We're going and that's final. I haven't seen you this happy for quite a while, and that's more than enough reason to celebrate", Meera said.
Geet was so touched and all she could do was give her a hug.

8:00 pm - Hotel Ritz Sheraton:
"So Maan, how was your day today?", Savitri Devi asked her grandson while they were having their dinner.
"It went well dadima. I had to take an interview for the vacant post in our office and managed to select an apt candidate for the position", Maan said.
"That's good! So, does our company have any new projects lined up?",she asked.
"Well, Mr.Chopra is coming over tomorrow. We are going to have a meeting regarding the new project. His company would like us to construct their new hotel.", he said
"That's great! But I thought that you would have had the meeting regarding this already, 'cos talks about this project have been going on for a month or so", Savitri Devi said curiously.
"You're right dadima. We would have but Chopra Industries faced an abrupt problem and so we had to postpone the meeting.", Maan said.
He got a call on his mobile. He excused himself and made his way out of the restaurant.

"Here's to a new beginning!", Meera said while raising a toast.
"Cheers!", they said in unision and sipped their champagne.
"So Geet, all set for tomorrow?", Meera asked.
"Yeah! Kind of, but I am a little nervous, you know. It's my first day and I have to attend a meeting and negotiate a deal and all", Geet said nervously.
"Oh chill yaar! I am sure you'll do well. Anyway, I saw you sitting and slogging over that file and knowing you, I am sure you'll rock it!", Meera said cheerily.
"I hope so.", Geet said, picking up her fork to eat her food.
As she was about to eat, she got a call on her phone.
"Who could it be at this time?", she thought and excused herself.
She was too busy trying to recall the number while making her way out of the restaurant that she didn't see where she was going, and suddenly bumped into someone. She was about to fall down and closed her eyes out of fear, when a very strong pair of arms held her around her waist to prevent her from falling.
She opened her eyes to see who it was that had helped her, only to end up looking into a pair of alluring chocolate brown eyes, and was surprised to come face to face with the man she had met a few days ago.
