Part 50
Geet had woken up unusually early the next day or probably she was too excited to even sleep. Her confession, her first kiss kept coming back to her in her dreams and all she could think of was maan and only maan. She wanted to tell pinky that she is in love, but she was not sure how she would react to it. Yet unable to contain her anxiety and enthusiasm, she woke her up at 6am.
"Pinky uto, mujhe tumse baat karni hai".
"Geet, so jaa. Thodi der please!! Aur waise bhi aisa kounsi baat hai, jo tum itni subeh subeh uth gayi?" she asked pulling her quilt over her face and putting her head under her pillow.
"Arre uth na pinky! Bahut zaroori baath hai".
"geet main sun rahi hoon".
"nahi tum mujhe dekho, tabhi main bolungi".
"geet, main kaan se sunti hoon, aankhon se nahi!!! Tumhare maan sir tumhe aankhon se sunte aur samajte honge, main nahi!"
"are pinky mujhe unhi ke bare mein bholni thi, maine unse keh diya ki main unse pyaar karti hoon!"
"kya?" she asked pullin her head from under the pillow. "unhe tumhe maara tuo nahi na?" she asked getting up.
"nahi, unhone mujhe.." and blushes.
"geet bolo kya hua?tension mein mat daalo, kya kaha sir ne?"
"Kuch nahi" and remembers him kissing her and blushes and burries her face into the quilt.
Pinky who was wide awake now, pulled geet up, "geet ki bacchi, tension mein marwayegi kya?sir ne tumhe daanta?"
"Nahi pinky. Unhone mujhe" and whispered in her ear, "kiss kiya"
Pinky fell off the bed. "DD ne tumhe, " " geet?"
Geet jumped down too and pinky shrieked in joy. "haye meri rajkumari tumhara prince charming tumhe finally mil hi gaya, aur who bhi maan singh khurana. Kya baat hai geet!" and hugged geet tight.
Geet kept describing some small cute and funny incidents that happened between them and how maan always taunts her yet encourages her. Pinky was enjoying listening to her friend who was madly in love. they realized they had to get to work now else they would get late to office. both of them were too excited and both of them did not seem to realize what they were doing. Pinky put the knife in the refridgerator and milk in the shelf in the kitchen. Her dad realized it and replaced them properly. Geet wasn't doing any good either, she forgot to switch on the stove and put the pan with the vegetables on it for 30 minutes before she realized her mistake. Pinky's dad had concluded that both of them have lost it because of their boss's excess work pressure.
Both of them arrived in office and geet checked maan's planner. He had only one meeting lined up for the day with Mr. Chopra and the rest of the day he is in office. she smiled at that thought, when sasha walked in.
"Geet, tum muskurana bandh karo aur thoda kaam karo", she yelled. She threw some letters on her table and said, "save these contacts onto MK's professional contact list and then discard these papers. They are confidential".
"ji" said geet taking a look at those papers.
She walked away and then came back. "When is MK in the office today?" she asked.
"Ma'am he has a meeting with Mr. Chopra at 10:30 am for an hour or so and after that he's pretty much in the office" said geet.
"Alright! I need to talk to him, so why don't you put my meeting with him on the planner too? Mark my meeting from 1pm to 4pm today".
"ji", she said sitting down and pulling out the planner. She needed 3 hours, "itna kya baat karni hai?anyways, mujhe kya?", she thought and put it up on his planner. She left him a note of his appointment and then called up daadima.
She wanted to talk to daadima about the farmhouse job. The maid took the call, "ji, kya main savitri ji se baat kar sakti hoon, main geet bol rahi hoon".
"ji, hold kijiye. Main ma'am ko call transfer karti hoon".
Geet was put on hold for 5 minutes and she was not nervous about talking to daadima, like the first time she was.
"hello geet!" said daadima pleasantly.
"hello maa. Kaise hai aap?" she asked softly.
"Very well, thank you! How are you honey?" she asked.
Daadima's "honey" reminded geet of maan. She forgot to respond to daadima until daadima spoke up again, "geet, are you there?"
"ji, sorry! Main theek hoon. Mujhe aapse job ke bare mein baat karni thi" and she saw MK walking into the office and talking to Adi. She kept staring at him, at his perfect masculine body, his style and his pride as he walked into the office, the empire that he had created! Her gaze then fell on his lips and she blushed.
"geet, kya hua? Maan ne phir se koi gadbad kiya kya?" daadima asked wondering why geet would forget speaking in between.
"ji, nahi" she said turning her chair away from maan's view. "ma'am main us farmhouse wali job ke bare mein baat karna chahti thi. Kya main woh job kar sakti hoon?"
"hume laga ki aapko maan ke saath hi kaam karni hai", she asked wondering why geet would want to leave maan and go work in the farmhouse.
"ji?" asked geet surprised at daadima's statement.
"hamara matlab hai, maan ko secretary ki zaroorat nahi hai kya?" she asked correcting her statement. She knew geet had confessed her love for maan but geet obviously did not know that she knew it.
"ji, woh actually main college join karungi, tuo woh job mere liye convenient hoga aur aap bhi mere madat kar sakte hai, kyunki maan keh rahe the ki aapke finance aur accounts ki background hai".
Daadima noticed the change from "maan sir" to "maan" and smiled at the gradual progress. She wondered, when maan would confess too, what would geet call him, "jaan??" and suppressed her laugh at the thought.
"Alright! I want you to come and meet me some time so that I can take a quick interview and then I can brief you about the work. If you're still comfortable staying away from maan and working, aaah, hamara kehne ka matlab hai, agar aap main office se bahar kaam karna pasand karenge, tuo, I issue your appointment letter then and there", she said firmly.
"ji ma'am. When should I come to meet you?" geet asked politely.
"aah, at around 2pm today! You can tell Mr. Khurana that you are going to meet Savitri Khurana, I don't think he would have a problem or even if he did, you can make up for it in the night" and almost laughed but covered up the receiver.
Geet was stunned, "Ji?"
"I meant you can talk to him later about why you had to leave the office at 2pm".
"ji ma'am. I'll see you then!" she said slightly scared now at the way daadima was talking.
"okay! Bye geet" she said hanging up and laughing. She had trapped both her grandson and her to be daughter in law with her teasing. She patted her shoulder and said, "Savitri Khurana you just keep getting better and better in your teasing sessions".
Geet was worried, what was daadima talking about? Did she know everything about them? But would maan tell his daadima everything that happened between them?
She caught her head and sat, "iss maan ka kuch bharosa nahi hai. Kahi daadima se yeh tuo nahi keh diya ki main unse pyar karti hoon. Haye, kya soch reh honge unki daadima, mere bare main".
She took out her notepad and scribbled her name on it for sometime and did her self talk again, "geet tu hamesha galat jagah pe dimaag ki istemal karti hai. Savitri ma'am aise kyun sochenge, unhe koi kaam nahi hai kya?" and brushed off the thoughts and then focused on the questions that could be possibly asked in her interview at 2pm.
Her phone rang and she took it and literaaly yelled for disturbing her, "ji!"
"geet" came maan's voice, "ek dictation dena hai, aao mere cabin mein".
"ji" she yelled again, putting her questions and answers away and grabbing another note pad.
"geet, tumhe chillane ki zaroorat nahi hai".
"ji, pata hai" and yelled again.
"agar pata hai, tuo chilla chilla ke baat kyun kar rahi hai?" he asked angry now.
"ji, kuch nahi, aa rahi hoon", she said and hung up and walked into cabin.
He dictated for about 20 minutes and geet took down everything. She asked without looking at him, "bas, itna hi likhna hai kya, sir?"
"haan" said maan.
"theek hai, tuo main jau?" she asked.
"yes, please!" he said looking at his other files.
She then looked at him and asked, "sir, mujhe aaj do baje thoda kaam hai, bahar jaana hai. Kya main jaa sakti hoon?"
"geet yeh sawal tum mujhse nahi, sasha se poocho. Sasha is the one who grants leaves and permissions. You know that!" he said looking at her.
"ji, sir" she said turning and walking away.
Maan wondered where she had to go at 2pm and then thought it was probably some thing connected to her college.
Geet hated walking into Sasha's cabin, "Excuse me Ma'am" she said.
"yes!" said sasha lookin up to face geet.
"Ma'am mujhe 1 hour ke liye permission chahiye. I need to go out at around 2pm for some personal work".
"oh! Geet, tumhe nahi lagta tum aaj kal kuch zyaada hi permission use kar rahe ho. Anyways, I cannot give you permission this time. I will be in an important meeting with MK and we need someone to take his calls and messages".
"Par ma'am" and sasha interrupted her, "Geet, when I say "no" it means a plain "no". don't argue and waste my time, I have wnough work to do, unlike you!" she said turning to work on her laptop.
"theek hai ma'am. Tup phir main savitri ma'am ko phone kar ke bata deti hoon ki main do baje nahi aa sakti kyunki sasha ma'am ne permission nahi diya".
"kya?tum savitri ma'am se milne jaa rahi ho!kyun?"
"woh unhone mujhe bulaya. Mujhe kya pata?"
"theek hai, savitri ma'am ne bulaya isiliye jao, warna har baar tumhe permission nahi milegi".
Sasha 's face has turned red after listening to Savitri Khurana's name. She had always tried her level best to impress daadima so that she could get to maan easily. But unfortunately, that never worked for her!
Geet said, "thank you!" and turned away from her and smirked. She had finally mastered the art of getting Sasha to her terms.
It was 1pm and everyone was getting ready for lunch. Geet saw sasha walking into maan's cabin with a whole lot of folders and blue prints. "shayad, bahut saare doubts hai. Kuch samaj mein nahi aaya hoga" she said grinning to herself.
She left a voice mail for maan, "sasha ke chakkar mein lunch karna mat bhoolna" and then left to khurana mansion.
Maan got the voicemail and smiled to himself and saw her packing her stuff in her cabin. He remembered she had to go out somewhere and did not question any further. He simply continued with this meeting with Sasha.
Khurana Mansion: Geet walked in and sat in the living room. Daadima was careful enough to make her sit in a room where there were no family photographs.
"So, how was your day so far, geet?" asked Daadima sipping a cup of coffee.
"it was good Ma'am", geet responded smiling.
"Good! So, your first question, how comfortable are you with Maan.." and paused there for a second. Geet almost dropped her coffee cup and looked at daadima terrified.
Daadima noticed the change in her face color and continued, "I meant, how comfortable are you with managing the farm house?"
Geet sighed in relief and smiled faintly. "Ma'am, I took a look at the farmhouse the other day, I don't think I should have any problem handling work there".
"hmmm, okay! Next question, what is the best thing about working there according to you?" she asked putting her coffee cup down.
"Ma'am to be very honest, flexible working hours, that would allow me to have ample time for my studies!"
"Okay! What 's one thing you hated about working in the main office?"
Geet did not see that coming. She almost choked. Daadima realized her discomfort, and said, "Geet, you can be candid. Don't worry!"
"Ma'am the thing I hated the most was disappointing maan sir".
"I guess I can stop my interview there. The fact that you hated disappointing your boss tells me that you are sincere and dedicated. Welcome onboard!"
Geet smiled happily! Daadima called her assistant and asked her to type an appointment letter. She gave it to geet in like 15 minutes. Geet asked her,"Ma'am when can I start?"
"Whenever your boss is ready to leave you!" said daadima.
"Ji?"
"Whenever Maan is ready to relieve you, you can join!" she said smirking.
"Yes Ma'am" she said.
Daadima then briefed her about the work that would be expected of her and also discussed her salary. Daadima kept in mind that she would have to pay for college too and decided her salary accordingly.
By the time geet got out of Khurana Mansion it was 3:45pm. She quickly took a cab and rushed to office. She realized that maan was done with his meeting with Sasha and was on phone with someone.
She then heard her voice messages and maan had left 3 messages, the first one, "geet, maine lunch kiya. Did u have yours?"
The second one, "geet kaha ho tum?"
The third one, "geet bata ke tuo jaaya karo, ki tum kaha jaa rahi ho!"
She noticed the softness in the first two messages and anger in the third one. She decided to walk into his cabin and show him the appointment letter but wondered if that would be professional enough. She let go professionalism for this one time and walked towards his cabin.
She knocked on his door and she was asked to come in. Maan had just finished his call and saw her walk in and take her seat opposite to him.
"bolo" he said.
"wow, main bahar gayi thi".
"I know that!" he said blankly.
"aah! Actually sir mujhe.." and unable to say anything further just flashed her appointment letter in front of him. He grabbed It from her and read it and looked at her again.She was smiling happily.
"Oh! So you've made a decision to leave me, I mean the main office!" he asked pushing his chair back a little and still holding the letter in his left hand.
"How can I leave you, mera matlab hai the main office? I would be coming here time and again for Adi sir".
"for adi?" he asked hinting her to say something more.
"ji, adi sir ke liye nahi tuo kya sasha aur tasha ke liye aungi?" she asked sarcastically.
"sirf adi ke liye, geet?"
"ji sir!" she said firmly.
"theek hai. I'll relieve you by the end of this week" furiously.
"ji!" she said smiling at his anger. "main jau?"
"tuo kya saath baje tak yahi baitna ka iraada hai kya?" he said looking blankly at the laptop screen.
"sirf saath baje tak? Main yaha zindagi bhar bait sakti hoon aur aapko dekh sakti hoon" she said tilting her head and looking at him lovingly.
He looked at her for sometime and said, "jao! Isse pehle ki kuch aur ho jaaye".
"kuch aur ho jaaye? Kya ho sakta hai maan?" she asked moving her chair a little closer to hold his hand. But he moved his chair farther away and she could not hold him.
"yeh office hai geet!" he reminded her.
"tuo kya hua? Office mein romance karna mana hai kya? Meri job contract mein tuo woh nahi likha".
"geet!" he said angrily. "kisi bhi job contract mein romance ke bare mein likha nahi hoga, aur who bhi boss ke saath".
"hmmm?" she asked softly. She said, "theek hai, chalti hoon! Waise bhi, raat hamari hai". She said the last 3 words rhythmically and winked at him laughing.
