Part 18
Next day Maan came to her office a little early then the time she had given...as Geet had not yet come he was waiting for her in the waiting lounge...
He could feel the replica of his own office...same luxurious furniture...same luxurious cabins...etc...He could clearly relate it to a fine business man's work area. As he was thinking about...he felt a hustle outside the waiting lounge...so he decided to peek...As soon as he opened the door slightly he could see every one running for their lives...as if some monster was behind them...Soon Pinky and Abhay...stood at the entrance of one cabin which was the largest among all the cabins...Soon there was tick tock...that was the voice of heels heard by all...Soon his eyes went to the feet of the person...and later he could see a fragile figure entering coming with full authority and confidence...a few minutes later she stood by the door and called Pinky and Abhay inside...At this moment a smile crept on his face automatically...it was as if he was seeing a mirror of himself...Later Geet called Maan in to her cabin...
G: Sorry to keep you waiting Mr. Khurana...
On one hand Maan liked the true professional which he expects from everyone but still most girls don't understand that. He said..
M: Geet you are forgetting something???
Geet was totally confused and raise her eyebrows and then it immediately grasped her brain...
G: Sorry Maan. Actually I am too used to call every on by their surname that is why...I apologize.
M: Geet I said that I would not accept your apologies!!! Now I will take payback for it.
Geet started murmuring: Geet what were you thinking when you called him Mr. Khurana...Now see what happened...Now what will he do... Please Maan please don't ask for something that is too hard to give...
Maan could hear her murmuring but didn't want to stop her as he liked her sweet talks...
M: Geet I want to have coffee right now...(Maan added with a smirk) But you will have to make the coffee
G: Ok fine (Geet moved out)
Geet went into the pantry...Everyone was dumb stuck that how come their boss is making coffee and that also 2 cups. But no one had the guts to voice their thoughts...
When Geet was about to enter her cabin she noticed that everyone were staring at her. She turned and said:
G: I don't pay you all for staring at me! Now get back to work!!!
Maan heard a thunderous voice from outside. He could not believe that such voice could come from that fragile little women.
Geet came back with coffee.
As Geet used to take a little more sugar so she put the same amount in Maan's cup...
Maan as soon as took the first sip he seriously wanted to spit the extreme sweet coffee out but that would be very rude to Geet. If this was his office the guy would have been fired by now!
G: Maan what happened?? Did you not like the coffee??
M: It's Ok Geet...The Coffee is really good..(Taking small sips)
G: But the looks you are giving seems like you hate it...( said with a questioning face)
M: No Geet...
G: Maan you can tell me...
M: Actually Geet...Who...I take a no sugar at all
G: Ohhh... (Bit her tongue) I'm sorry actually I like extra sugar and absent mindedly (looking at his cup) added in your cup too. I'm sorry. (Making a cute face like child caught in crime)
Maan started laughing loudly.
M: (in between laughs) Geet why are you so hesitant in telling this...
G:Actually when I was a child everyone use to laugh at me. And whenever the sugar finished in our home every one used to blame me...and told that that I will get fat... and my friend also used to call me Old fashioned as use to take tea instead of Coffee...because I like tea more than coffee... but caffeine in coffee makes me awake for long hours now...
G: Tell me Maan that am I fat...Do you become old fashioned if you drink tea???
M; No Geet you are absolutely fine (Fragile to be precise he added in his heart)... and No everyone has their own choices...and a true friend should accept the other's interests whole heartedly...No
Maan in between could see the change of emotions...In between when she was speaking about her family...there was mist in her eyes...that did not came out but still Maan could see...
Maan did not want to see her helpless therefore he diverted her mind by talking about various other things and most importantly the PROJECT!!!
Days were passing by and Maan and Geet's friendship was blossoming and almost 1 month passed...they used to work in each other's offices alternatively...
On day Geet came to meet him and discuss the project...it was 6:00pm therefore very few people were there in office...and saw that Maan was not usual...He due to the hectic routine was having a severe headache...when Geet entered his cabin he was leaning his head by the back of the chair and had his fingers on his head...he was pressing his fingers on his head in order to relieve himself from the pain.
G: Maan what happened???
M: Geet!!!You came...ahh it's nothing...
G: Maan...you are hiding something??
M: Geet I am not...it's just that I was having a headache...
G: (said in a concerned voice) Maan than you need to rest...why are you here???...you should take a tablet and I will ask your driver to drop you back home...
M: No Geet...I will be fine I will take coffee and will be okay...
Geet brings the first aid box and took out a Panadol...bought some water and ordered him to take it...and Maan started acting childishly...
M: Geet I will be fine...I hate medicines they are so bitter...I can't take this...
G: (said in a stubborn manner) Maan I am not telling you to take it...I am ordering you...and why are you throwing tantrums...you know that I will not leave you until you eat it...
M: Umm Geet
But before Maan could utter another word Geet took the tablet and shoved it in his mouth and in a reflex action Maan took water from her hand and drank it...
Still Maan was having a headache as the tablet will work after sometime...
G: Maan we will discuss the project some other time...
But Geet did not want to go...and neither could she see her friends in pain... She closed the blinds of the cabin...called his assistant that no one should come inside. No calls etc...
She asked Maan to shift to the couch and seated herself also on the couch. Took his head on her lap and started massaging his head with the help of a balm which was kept in the first aid box for pain relief...
As soon as her fingers started massaging his head...Maan felt a shiver ran down his spine...her finger were doing magic...and his headache was reducing...after sometime he fell asleep on her lap and later when Geet saw that he was asleep she didn't want to wake him up therefore she decided that she would wait until Maan wakes up. Maan was looking so serene in his sleep...while watching him she also fell asleep...Maan woke up after around 2 hours and saw Geet that she was sleeping in a very uncomfortable position...he felt guilty as because of him she could not move...he immediately removed his head from her lap...When Geet felt the warmth missing...she immediately woke up and saw Maan...
G: Maan you woke up...Is your headache better????
Maan could see concern for him all over her face...
M: Geet I am fine...My headache is gone...Thank you for taking care of me...( he said genuinely)
G: Maan you said that I would not accept others to say thank you...so same goes for you as well and friends are always there...
M: yes...by the way how will you go???Should I drop you home...
G: No my driver is waiting outside...I will go...take care and go home right this instant...
M: Okay my Lord!!!!
Geet went to her house and later Maan also reached his home...the whole time Maan was thinking the way Geet took care of him...although it was a minor headache and any friend would have ignored that but she did not...
Precap: Geet in not a good condition!!!
M: Where did u get these scratches from??
Thankyou for liking and commenting Guys!!
