So…here is part 2.
Do read it, and please put in your precious comments to tell me if u liked it or not.
PART 2
The clock struck 7 as Geet and Pinky entered a large decorated hall. The dcor itself told everything about the standards of the meeting. One could easily make out that the meeting was going to be grand.
But Geet thought differently.
"What is the use of wasting so much money for an event…which will merely last for 2-3 hours. Show-offs...Huhh"
Pinky:I hope this event turns out to be fruitful for you. Not many people get this opportunity, like you and me, to attend these. But, I'm sure that we'll enjoy here as well, unlike all those boring lectures.
The best part is, that You'll meet our DD as well...(sighs)
Geet was turning the pages of a file hurriedly while listening to pinky.
She was busy scribbling something in it, even while responding to Pinky.
Geet: Ab yeh DD kya balaa h?
Pinky: Huh! Kam se Kam 100 times tujhe bata diya...I think you intentionally pretend that you don't remember anything...hai na.?? Arre DD..humare 'Dhak Dhak'...one and only 'The Maan Singh Khurana.'
Geet: Ohh...!
She wasn't really paying a lot of attention to what pinky was saying.
This was a habit of hers, which irritated pinky the most. Geet was used to being lost in her own world. She often didn't listen to what others said to her. It was not that she didn't care. She even did it with all of her dearest people. And Pinky was surely, one of the most important parts of geet's life.
Seeing Geet being lost again, she snatched the file from her hand to look at it.
Pinky: Yeh tu kya kar rhi h...tu kabhi bhi meri nhi sunti.
Geet tried to get the file back from her...Saying,
"Pinky, Waapas de yaar! It has my resume and the list for all the appointments as well. Bohot zaroori h mere liye."
Pinky: Paagal kyo laayi isse yaha...?
Geet: (with childlike innocence) Arre, you never know pinky! Ho sakta I get an opportunity to add more appointments to this list. And I should have my resume little handy...in events like this :P
She saw people entering inside the hall. Geet and Pinky were amongst the first people to come there.
Pinky: Look...the guests have started coming. Let's take a seat.
Geet: I am sooo excited yaar!
The host of the event took the stage and welcomed all the guests. All types of 'guests' could be seen there.
The 'akdu' guests, the 'only stylish' guests, the 'brainy' guests, the 'simple' guests, the 'humble' guests.
It looked like...Most of the female 'guests' had an 'ON DIETING' board stuck on there faces. Geet found it all very amusing.
The host tried to get everyone's attention
"All our special guests have arrived, But the king of construction firms comes now, Let us all welcome...the.."
Geet was so shocked to see sudden excitement around her suddenly!
Within a second, everyone, stood up...many even rushed to the door to catch a glimpse of his.
A black limousine stopped in front of the gate, all surrounded by guards and girls...and the chauffeur opened the door.
Geet could hear the updates of how he was...Hot...Smart and what not.
He was tall, handsome, with dashing style and killing looks. He was The Maan Singh Khurana. He walked straight towards the stage. The girls were all drooling on his looks. Hearing all this, geet became anxious to get a glimpse of this so called hottie. She tried to stand on her toes to look at him, but all in vain. She could not see him because of the crowd around him."He is surrounded by sooo many people…he must be feeling suffocated…" Geet thought.
Host: Welcome The...M...
Just when geet managed to look at him, her phone rang. It was her mom calling!
Geet moved out of the hall...to attend the call...with disappointment on her face!
Host: ...Mr. Maan Singh Khurana, MD of Khurana Constructions!
The hall echoed with thunderous claps.
Maan addressed the seminar while geet was busy outside, requesting her mom to put down the phone for a while.
After half an hour,
Host: Ladies and Gentlemen, after such valuable words from the biggest business tycoon himself, we deserve a little time to think over his words.
I request you all…please head towards the next room, on your right, for the dinner, after which we shall gather again.
Mr. Raichand will enlighten us with his words then.
Thank you.
Geet enters the room, shocked to see the stage empty! People were moving a room nearby. She was so dismayed...that a drop of tear rolled down her cheeks.
Pinky came to her.
Pinky: Arre Geet! Where were you? And why the hell are you crying?
Geet wiped the teardrop immediately. She always pretended to be a strong girl!
Geet: I'm not crying. You tell me, what's going on here?
Pinky: (feeling rest assured...as she knew the reason for her disappointment) Geet, u know, you missed a brilliant chance. I didn't know that our boss would address the meeting first.
Geet: Oh no! I'm so sorry yaar…Maa called and you know how she is...
Geet ye mat khaana, Geet woh mat krna...geet aisa mat bolna...unki list never ending hai..
And you know what, she thinks that I am a 'Chalta-Phirta Disaster'
Kuch bhi matlab..!! Huh!
Pinky really couldn't control her laughter after hearing that. Geet's mother knew her better than anyone else of course and fondly called her 'Meri Disaster Beti (MDB).' Little did geet know, about the reason behind her pet name. Geet thought of herself as a perfectionist, who just did little blunders here and there.
Geet: Why are u smiling Pinkyyy!!!
Pinky: (trying hard to look serious) Leave it geet! You don't know what you missed. But, u'll get to learn many more new things in the next few hours. Come on...let us go there and join others.
Few minutes after geet and Pinky joined others, Pinky got a message...which asked her to immediately go to the office for some urgent work.
She asked geet to wait for her till she comes back.
" i need to go geet...some urgent work in the office...i'll be back in an hour...koi gadbad mat karna beta...remember what you are here for.!
Geet: Haan baba haan! Bye...Come soon!
Geet took a bowl of soup...chilli tomato..which was her favorite...and started looking around at the decorations...she had a lot of interest in interior designing...but for her...the room was decorated way too much. She would have preferred to keep it simple.
She had the file in her hand even now. While relishing the soup, she collided with someone!
😲
It was Maan!
All the soup was spilled on his well-tucked white shirt and the black waist-coat which he donned with utmost style!
Her notebook was wet with it as well.
Before he could look at her contently, he realized that the soup went in his eyes as well!
The spell of her beauty...broke. In fact the spell wasn't even cast properly as he could not see her.
Maan turned red with anger.
Geet: Are you blind or something!! Can't you see..?? I'm sure you can't...and if u can't...what are u doing here! I thought this seminar was meant for sensible people and not idiots like you...
While speaking all this, she didn't even care to look at him. She kept turning the pages of her file in worry.
By now, every one had gathered around both of the two...praying to god...that geet realizes who she is talking to...soon.
But, she continued
"Ullu, Gadhe, Pata nahi kaise kaise logo ko andar aa jane dete hai…completely dumb! You spoiled all my papers…
(and she lowered her volume...as if speaking to herself in disappointment)
it had my resume…and appointments…ab mujhe job kaise milegi.."
While geet was busy blabbering, maan was fuming even more with anger. He wished to give a tight slap on her face…for doing this and speaking so much after that. How could one…speak that much! But, it was impossible for him to do anything with that soup in his eyes..!! It was burning like hell!
Around them, frightened expressions were evident on everyone's face…imagining the consequences with the poor girl!
Geet (shouts looking at MSK..but without noticing him): GUARDS! GUARDS! Come here…and take this stupid out right now…
The sympathy on the faces around…soon changed to expressions full of Shock!
Guards came.
"Madam...Please mind ur language...Apko pata hai yeh kaun hai...Maan Singh Khurana Sir...Madam.
Aap humse inhe le jaane ko keh rhi hai, par yeh chaahe toh apko sheher se bhi baahar phikwa sakte h madam.!
Then the guards turned to MSK, who didn't even speak a word till now...because it was the first time ever...in his entire life...that someone didn't allow him to speak!
Guards: We are extremely sorry sir, we'll take this foolish girl out right now.!
Realization had struck geet by then. She was super scared...She didn't even dare to look at him now!!
Maan clenched his fists...and opened his eyes...to see a blurred glimpse of geet...and said...
