Next Morning(KM)
(Outhouse office room)
"I can't believe this Maan!Are you really Maan or not!!!"exclaimed Yash speechless when he had a look at the property papers
"Dad please!"
"What please Son?You already made Geet 51% shareholder of KC!And that too without consulting me!Did you marry her?" asked Yash,demanding an explanation.
"No"
"Then why??"
"Because..Because I love her Dad"
Maan had finally faced his dad with the truth.But Yash,though startled for a moment,did not seem to be in shock
"That's it!Only this was expected from you!"
Yash almost slammed the paper on the desk & prepared to go.
"Dad.." Maan was hurt.
"Aapko jo thik lagta hai aap kariye Maan." Yash sighed.
"'Dad I know it's my fault that I should have told you about the property before..'
Yash kept on walking till he reached the exit door.Then without turning back,he said
"Dev burnt his own factory for money. Geet's life in danger as she becomes 51% shareholder of the company...also you can't tell her about the will.."
"Dev will not come to know about this!"
"I hope not"
"Dad even you don't know what happened after the factory was burnt!"
"I don't even want to know it..."
Yash went out.Maan watched him go...
~*~
The day had not started on a good note for Maan.He didn't know how the rest of the day would show up..The breakfast seemed tasteless to him as some untoward was going to happen.Just when he was getting ready to leave for office,his phone rang...It was from office.Maan received a rude shock when he was told of the project CD being stolen.That was the last thing which he had expected.The situations which had never happened with him were turning up to him.He immediately rushed to the office.
As soon as Maan reached KC,he was told that the securuty staff were given sleeping pills mixed with tea.So the security doors were easily crossed.Maan hurriedly rushed inside the office building.He was shocked & surprised to see his cabin spic & span just how he had seen it the previous night,only the CD missing.He saw that the passwords were not at all tampered with.It was as if the thief easily gained entry inside.Adi was standing in front of him.None of the staff even dared to look at Maan,as he was in a very foul mood today.It was the first time in the history of KC,that a project was taken from inside the office quite easily & swiftly.
"How did this happen?" Maan roared
Adi was shivering but he had to say something or else his state might turn more bad.
"Sir..We we came this morning..we saw the cabin o-open." he completed with great strain in his voice.
"How did the cabin remain open,you locked it last night,didn't you??Speak up!!!!!" asked an angry Maan.
Adi knew that it was Geet who entered the password but did not mention her.
"S-S-Sir..woh..actually.." he didn't know what to say.
"Because of your such foolish carelessness,such an important project is gone!!Now what will we say to the clients after two days?We had taken almost two months for this project!And everything is finished in one night!!!!!!!!Everything!!!!!"
Maan was like the roaring wounded tiger.He stormed outside KC...
~*~
When Geet arrived at Khurana Mansion,she was at once engulfed by the feeling that something bad had happened.The Mansion looked somewhat like a ghost house.The air around it felt heavy.Even the security guards seemed scared as if they had seen something dangerous.She was cautious as she entered the Mansion.Her doubts were almost conveyed when Geet saw Annie running down the stairs towards her followed by Rhea.
"Geet!Kuch karo na please!!" Annie was almost crying.
"W-What happened?"asked Geet alarmed.
"Geet,woh... New York project got stolen last night,Maan Bhai is very very angry.."
Hearing that Geet stopped dead glued to the floor,a chill running down a spine.She could experience lump in her throat.
"We tried to pacify him a lot,but Maan veerji is not at all listening..."said Rhea.
"He will listen to only you Geet,please please do something!" said Annie.
Geet was still not in a state to speak something,heavily shocked.Annie clutched her hand & almost dragged her to Maan.Geet still didn't know how to react.She realized that she might have entered the wrong password...
~*~
Geet was left standing alone outside an arena which served Maan to practise his tai-chai moves. The arena was indeed large where voices could echo.It had white cutains towards it's four exits.All the windows were tightly shut so that sunlight could be barred in.The arena was dark towards the center & the sides reflected pale golden lights.
Geet was pale with fright.She did not how to face Maan & confess her folly.She sensed that she was weak in fear to even stand steady.Maan was angry because of her mistake,that made guiltiness creep in her.But she had to tell him.She took a deep breath which did not help at all.Mustering courage,she walked in..
As soon as she saw Maan,she hid behind one of the pillars of the arena.Seeing him,the little courage that she had gathered seemed to give away.She saw Maan doing some deadly tai-chai moves,moving his hands & legs in razor sharp speed.His eyes were seething in anger as if lava had invaded his body.He face conveyed agony in a deadly manner.His bare body seemed to be ejecting flames with the lines of his arms,biceps & abs being clearly visible.Even the sweat which was trickling down his face seemed to dry away within seconds...
He did not notice Geet who was trembling with fear behind the pillar.He chased his own line of thoughts...
*FLASHBACK*
Dev & Maan crossed paths at the coridoor when Maan was entering his room still in shock about the CD being stolen.
"Dev!!!" roared Maan,"You will pay for meddling with my presentation!!!"
At first Dev was startled hearing Maan's accusation,but he maintained his calmness.
"Bro..don't you get tired of accusing me of everything?..even if I have done something,you can't prove it...but the best part is New York clients bye bye!!" Dev laughed evily."Checkmate once again!"
*End of FLASHBACK*
~Present~
"I hate myself for being so helpless!!!!!!It's like even if you know everything,your hands are chained!!!!!Dev is behind the theft!!!!!!And I can't do anything!!!!And this Gopal!!!!I should have sensed him being an alliance of Dev!!!!Can't even take legal help,as I have nothing which could prove Dev's henious acts,also the reputation of Khuranas will be drained!!!!He has ruined my presentation,if I tell Geet the truth,Dev will harm her!!!Kya karu mujhe kuch samaj mein nahi aa raha!!!!!!The news of Gupta(the police officer who was incharged of the factory investigations)being alive brought me some hope but that is also gone!!!!!"
His eyes were becoming redder as his anger increased.He indulged in some more deadly stunts.
There Geet was shivering from head to toe.Tears rolled doen her eyes seeing Maan in this state and knowing that she was at mistake only made matters worse for her.She was breathing heavily with her palms ice cold.She partially hid behind the pillar
"It's all because of you!!You knew the project was so important for the company,still how could you be so careless?Maan & the entire staff had worked so hard for it and now because of you,it's all over!!.I am even frightened to imagine how would he react hearing me.Because of me,Adi had to bear Maan's wrath.I have to tell Maan regardless how the circumstances would stand later on!"
Just then Maan faced the direction where Geet stood.She at once hid herself completely behind the pillar.But Maan's sharp eyes had seen her.
"Geet!!I saw you!!Don't hide!!!"said Maan,very sternly.
Hearing that,Geet's heart skipped a million beats.She again felt very weak but it was of now use now.She revealed herself to him standing at a distance from him.Her legs glued to the ground with her eyes looking down.
He did not say anything but continued doing tai-chai.Geet was very worried now,it was getting extreme now.
"Stop it Maan!"
she said.But he did not pay any heed.
"Stop it...please...you will hurt youself!" she was almost crying.Maan refused to listen.
"I said STOP IT! and listen to me Maan!!"
Her voice echoed out very loud & clear.He stopped abruptly which made her shiver.He was still in silence & shot a sharp glance at her.
"Ma-an,mujhe a-apse kuch kehna hai!"
She tried it best to complete her sentance with out breaking her voice.Geet continued.
"Woh...mein..aapse y-yeh kehna chahati thi ki..ki,,kehna chahati thi ki Adi is not responsible for leaving the cabin open.."
Maan's ears pricked on hearing that.He stared at her,demanding an explanation.Geet clenched her fists & confessed.
"I had told Adi that I would be locking the cabin but I entered the wrong password due to which the cabin was left open & the theft took place..I am at fault!"
Geet completed in a broken voice.Maan looked at her in disbelief.He was in for a shock.Geet did not attempt to look at him.There was stark silence from Maan's side which was making Geet all the more weak.She atlast raised her eyes to look at him.She saw him with his back towards her.Geet paniked.She rushed towards him & hugged him from behind.
"I am..I am sorry Maan..Please don't do this to me..I can't bear it..say something..don't be silent please.." Geet was crying
Maan did not respond.
She went before him & faced him.
"I know mere sorry bolne se kuch nahi hoga..but you can give me any punishment you want.. "
Maan still did not look at her
"Maan,look at me..please,I know you are angry with me,I--"
She couldn't complete her sentance as Maan dragged her by her arm & pinned her to the wall.He covered her mouth with his hand & caged her completely between him & the wall.She was breathing,clueless about what he will say next.She sensed she could melt away in the heat radiated by his body & the assult of his hot breath.Her eyes couldn't blink away his glare.Moreover,his silence was making the situation tough for her.
To her surprise,he released her without saying a word & turned his back towards her. She sensed that his anger failed to vanish.
"Ma-an give me one chance to recify my mistake"she paused,"I want to redo the project all over again.".
Hearing the firmness in her voice,Maan turned to face her.
"Do you even know what you are speaking???We took more than one month for the project!!All the rough sketches have been done away with!How will you do the project in less than three days!!!!"asked Maan in a loud voice.
Geet trembled hearing his voice."I mean it Maan.I know each and every detail of the project,no rough work is required.I have seen the project many times during it's making & also the final output." she said with conviction.
Maan glared at her.He advanced towards her while she walked backwards until she sensed the wall.
"Which can't happen,it's useless speaking about that!It is not possible.We don't even have three days to do it!" he said in a rueful manner
"Agar yeh project nahi hua,I won't be able to forgive myself!"her eyes were tearful but her voice was firm.
Maan did not say anything.Geet couldn't bear his anguish anymore, She enclosed him in a tight hug.His eyes opened wide as if he was hypnotised by his anger & was suddenly brought out of it.
"Please Maan.."she said in a soft voice,"Calm down..give me one chance...I know I won't disappoint you!"
No wonder his anger vanished as Geet was still hugging him.
"Geet.."
he cupped her face with his hands & brushed away her tears with his thumb.
"I get very scared when you are angry.."
Her voice contained a streak of innocence.They slowly brought their heads closer,their foreheads rested against each other.Geet breathed heavily.
"I can never be angry with you,doesn't matter how many mistakes you do!.I am biased towards you.Pyaar karta hoon mein tumse.Buhot pyaar.."
"Maan.." she stared at him teary-eyed "Then allow me to do the project!"
"Okay!The project will be started from today onwards!."
Geet was relieved hearing that.She hugged him once more.
"Presentation will happen and that's for sure!!!"
Her eyes were lighted with confidence.
After some time,they broke the hug when Geet asked
"Maan,do you have any idea who is behind this?"
"Gopal!"
"Gopal??"asked Geet surprised,"the one who stalked us in Pondicherry?"
"Not only there!I saw him lurking around here yestarday night,I even tried to chase him but he sneaked away!!"said Maan in agony.
"Maan..actually..he has been stalking this place from quite some time now..."
"Kya?"asked Maan,shocked,"And you are telling me now!"
"But he did do anything offensive..so I thought not to disturb you.." Geet gazed the floor
Geet told him that Rhea had seen Gopal talking to Dev.That was what Maan had already expected.He was confirmed now that Dev & Gopal both were into it!
"Stalkers are dangerous Geet!And you don't know what's going on in this house!"
"Aap kehna kya chahte hai?"asked Geet sharply.
Maan realised his folly,he immediately covered it."Mera matlab hai ki..there is something fishy about Gopal!"
"If you really think this is the case then why don't you lodge with police?"
"No!"said Maan abruptly which surprised Geet"The investigations will take time & there will be lot of legal formalities... and we have to start the project also!"
"Okay!I am waiting for you downstairs,arranging for the project!"
She was about to leave when Maan held her wrist & stopped her,
"Geet..your exams!"
She smiled,"Don't even think of comparing my exams to your project!"
Geet went away.
"If the project is successful,then KC might be saved from Dev as Dadi might do away with the will & then you are finished Dev!You have not only plotted against your family but also destroyed the life of the girl who loves you more than herself!"
Maan immediately dialled Birju's number.
"Hello...yes, you are in Delhi?,I hope you are aware of Gopal was is stalking us...find him as fast as you can!Note down his jeep no___"
~*~
Dev was shocked to the core seeing Maan regain his composure so soon...
"This is impossible!!!!!No one till today has ever been able to calm bro down from his anger!!How did Geet manage to do this!!!Kya bro Geet se pyaar karte hain??But she was a deal for him to get KC!And as far as I know,money & power are the most to him!Then how come!!I have to know what exactly is the status between Maan bro & Geet!"
Dev smirked evily.
