~~Chapter 1~~
She didn't know how long she stayed there in the bath tub. But now she is feeling good. She slowly got out of it and pulled her bath rob. She didn't feel like going to office today. She called Pinky and told that she is taking medical leave. Pinky was surprised to see Geet , her friend taking a day off.
Pinky : 'arrey Geet, tum teekh toh hai na?". haftey ke poore saat din tum office aathey ho.. achanak kya hua?.. tumhare tabiyat teekh hai na?..
Geet :- " I am perfectly fine Pinky. I have some work to finish", she lied.
Pinky "Teekh hai, kal milenge. But will miss you"
At last she was able to convince Pinky. She cut the call and changed in a white salwar suit and came out of her room.
She saw Sam making coffee. Her thoughts went back to old days when She and Dev used to fill that kitchen with their laughter. Not only kitchen, for her the entire apartment was filled with their memories only.
Sam :- "Morning Geet". Sam's voice brought her back to present.
'Morning Sam", Geet tried to put a smile on her face and greeted Sam. Sam noticed her swollen eyes and the fake smile. She easily gussed something was not right.
Geet :- "Sam, tum office nahi gayi aaj"
Sam :- 'Na baba, kal kuch zyada hi pee gayi thi. woke up late" she told Geet handing her a piping cup of coffee. "Did you also take day off ?". Sam noticed that Geet is no longer listening to her. She sighed and went inside her room.

Maan noticed that something was missing in the air. He looked around him. Everything was perfect and is kept as he always wanted. His black coffee was ready, the blue prints he had asked for was there on his table. His schedule for the day was there. But still something is missing. He brushed away the thought and checked his calender and got busy with the meetings scheduled.
"Ho dreamy" Pari was busy drooling over Maan. Pari is a 20 year old girl who completed her gradution and joined KC as Maan's secretary. For her, this is the best job in the world where she can see and drool over her dream man. She was admiring her boss from her cabin through the glass window when she heard someone.
"He-he-he-he"
Pari jerked and turned around. Seeing the man with glasses in front of her , she took a deep breath and said :- "Aap bhi na, Adi sir; hamesha wrong time mein aate ho"
"He-He-He" Adi smiled adjusting his glasses. "Pari, tumhara dreaming session khatam hogayi tho mujhe ek help chahiye"
"Sure Adi sir, batayiye"
"Pari, today geet has taken a day off so that we won't be having the 2'o clock meeting. Please inform Maan sir".
"But Adi sir, MK has already cancelled his meeting with Mr Chopra due to this and if he knows that ... "her voice trailed off.
"All the data about the project is with her so without her meeting would be a waste of time and you Maan sir na, he will be super annoyed then." Adi said and left.
With shivering legs, Pari entered MK's cabin.
"S-sir", she tried to call him.
But her voice was not coming out. She blinked her eyes when she saw a "lion" in front of her. "Panch minute pehle maine ek greek god ko dekha tha ab yeh achanak sher kasie ban gaya" she murmered. Gathering all her courage she called maan once again.
"S-sir"
He looked from his laptop raising his eyebrow.
"Sir, Geet M'am is on leave today. All the data on the Noida project is with M'am. Without M'am we won't be able to conduct the meeting. So Adi sir asked me to inform you that 2'o clock meeting is cancelled", Pari said in one go.
Maan nodded and went back into checking the blue prints. Suddenly, her swollen red eyes came into his mind. "There is definitely something wrong. She has not been in herself from yesterday. She hardly took any leaves and even worked weekends. There should be some reason for this sudden change" Maan thought. He took his brand new BlackBerry and hit the "Call" button near Dev Kapoor"
Precap :-
Taking a sip of his white Rum, Dev told Maan.
"yaar, even she was not great in bed".
"Shut up Dev, she was your wife", Maan laughed
"yes, she WAS not IS", Dev chuckled.
