Marital Tie - A Journey In Marriage
Part 23
Meeting with the unknown girl,
"Meera, Meera, please listen to me, you can't go out," he was walking behind her, "I will go, I will go and meet her, just say how she will be,"
"Armaan, why can't you understand, if you go out and someone sees you then everything will be a total waste, please, don't worry about me, I will be ok, and I think those guys lost me as I haven't seen any of them again," Meera refused,
"But still Meera, they can be waiting for you there in the market, so don't take the risk," Armaan begged her, "Please, don't stop me, you are in this situation just because of me, you lost the girl you loved, you lost your name, your job, gone to prison, and I can't except any more, and for all you did, at least I could do this, please, let me do it"
"Meera, I didn't expect anything from you, you are my friend and I am trying to be a good friend and so I can't let you risk your life," Armaan said and Meera hugged him, "Thank you would be a small word, please don't stop me, for once, I promise I will be safe, I promise," Meera said, and her heart was aching badly,
"Armaan, please forgive me, though you call it as a friend ship, I can only feel love for you, and all I want was that your love and happiness should come back to your life again, for that I would dare to go against the world and even MK," Meera thought as she pulled herself from him,
"Ok Meera, if you are this confident, you can go, put I will too come and I will wait for you a few yards away and I will give you ten minutes to find and get the cover from her but if you are late I will come out looking for you," Armaan said,
"Don't worry, I will be careful, I will get it from her somehow, it the only thing to prove your innocence," Meera said and smiled at him and they both got ready,
*****************************************************************************
Geet was so silent from the morning, she was feeling wired as soon as Maan said that he will take her to meet the girl, she came with his black coffee towards Maan and stopped as she saw Maan yelling at the guards standing at the middle of the hall,
"A gang of guys came in and messed up my room and I don't know what they had taken with them and Geet's life was at the mouth of the danger and you were enjoying the weather outside and having fun, did I hire you for that, did I pay you for that," Maan yelled,
"Sir, they had come from the back walls sir, so" A guy said looking down, "so, so what, do I have to instruct you to standing here and there, give you a map, don't you know, how to guard a house, A dog would know better than you," Maan yelled high and those guys looked dead scared, "get out now, I don't want to see your face again, get out,"
"Sir, sorry," the guys said slowly, "Out, now," Maan yelled up and those guys went away and as they walked away Maan called Adi, "Adi, I need new securities for my house and I want some guys with brain, understand, and ah, I want to fix security cameras in the house," Maan said and cut the phone immediately,
Geet was looking at him, is he doing everything for me, because I got attacked, so I would be safe, Geet thought and a small smile came up on her face, then she took the coffee to him, "Coffee," Geet said as she stood behind him and Maan turned around and took the cup,
"Geet, be ready I have to take you to meet that girl right, so sharply at 11 we will start," Maan said and Geet nodded and went inside her room,
******************************************************************************
"Gaya, Where are you," his bosses voices echoed in his phone, "Boss right outside Meera's house," , "Ok, be there and when she goes out, just follow her, we don't need her but we need the cover or else Big Boss will kill us all, we will never be spared," his boss said feared,
"Boss you don't worry," Gaya said and saw Meera and Armaan walking out of their house and getting into a car, "Boss, looks like she is going out, I am going to follow her so will call you later," Gaya said as he walked to his bike,
"Ok Gaya, as soon as you get the cover call me," his boss said and cut the call,
****************************************************************************
"Geet, Geet, " Maan called as he stood up at the door way, Geet rushed from the room and went and stood before him, "I am ready, let's go," Geet said as she looked at him,
Maan then went to the car, and Rishi opened the door, "Rishi, I will drive," he said and Rishi nodded and walked and opened the front door for Geet and Maan sat inside the driving seat, Maan then started to car and looked at Geet, "Geet, seat belt," Maan said and Geet tried to put it,
Actually she was thrilled and she was nervous and so worried about what's going to happen, she don't know whether that girl will come or not, her hands was trembling do to these thoughts and Maan saw this and he leaned and put her seat belt and Geet leaned back on the seat and Maan pulled up and drive on,
As they reached the park, the excitement in Geet was so much increased, she was feeling like doing some kind of adventure, Maan stood there, while Geet was sitting on the park bench, looking around, and she looked at Maan who was turning his back towards her and looking at the entrance,
Meera who was walking looked around and saw Geet sitting at the bench and she smiled big as she saw the cover in her hands and walked forward, Gaya who was following Meera too saw Geet, and called his boss, "Boss, That girl is going to meet the other girl from Khurana Mansion," He said as his boss took the call,
"Listen, let the girl get the cover and come out of the park then you can get the cover from the girl, stay away from the Khurana house Girl," His boss ordered and Gaya said an yes and followed Meera,
Meera looked around and saw Geet too looking around, and she stood behind a tree there and waited for Geet to look at her, Geet finally saw Meera behind the tree and a wave of relief filled Geet's mind, thank god she is safe, Geet thought,
Geet waved at Meera and Meera too waved and signed her to come towards her, Geet then stood up and turned to Maan, "Ji," Geet called and Maan turned around, "That girl came, and she is standing behind that tree," Geet said and turned and pointed towards the tree but no one was there,
"Geet, are you sure," Maan asked doubtfully, as he can't see anyone "Promise," Geet said and rushed towards the tree and Maan followed her, but she found no one there, "Ji, I am sure I saw her, I saw her here, just a second before and I turn to call you and she was gone," Geet said looking confused,
Maan looked at her, and looked around, "Geet wait here, I will be right back," Maan said and rushed around, Geet was so confused, she saw her and she waved at her to come near her and suddenly she disappeared, but why,
After a few minutes Maan came and stood near Geet, "what happened," Geet asked and Maan said nothing and he turned suddenly to see a guy standing behind the bush and watching them, as he saw Maan looking at him, he started to run, "Hey," Maan too yelled and ran behind, but that guy jumped the fence and went away in the bike,
"Ji," Geet came behind him, "what happened," she asked worried, "Nothing, come on," Maan said as he dragged her out of the park holding her arms, and Geet was confused yet, "Geet are you sure, you saw the girl," Maan asked again,
"yes, believe me, I swear," Geet said and Maan nodded an ok, and they drove towards their house, who was that girl and who was that guy who was watching them, is that the guy who came to his house, "Geet do you remember, that girls face," Maan asked and Geet said a yes,
*****************************************************************************
"What happened, Meera, why are you so scared," Armaan asked looking at Meera's condition, "Armaan, start up, let's get out of here first," Meera said and Armaan too drive to their house,
As they entered the house, Meera locked the door and windows, "Meera, what happened," Armaan asked unable to wait, "Everything turned waste, everything," Meera said as she sat down,
"what happened Meera, say clearly," Armaan asked, "All the evidence are with MK now," Meera said as her tears rushed down, "what, but how," Armaan asked, looking shocked, "I don't know, I don't know,"
"That girl, whom I meet in the supermarket had come to the park with MK, but I rushed from there, before he could see me, and looks like that girl was close to him," Meera said thinking how Geet called Maan and how Maan reacted,
"Maan has a sister right, may be it's his sister," Armaan said thinking hard, "May be, and I think she don't know what's in it, I can say it from her big smile," Meera said and they both sat down looking at each other, "Now what, Once Maan finds what's in the cover, then I will never be able to prove my innocence and I will be behind the bars forever," Armaan said holding his head,
"No, I won't let that happen, I will find a way and will get you out," Meera said and Armaan looked at her, "Meera, there is no other way, no other way," Armaan said, "as soon as Maan finds what's in the cover, he will destroy it and it will be gone forever, even the fate favour Maan," Armaan said,
"The first time I met him, I felt so happy and looking at him, and they way he stood up for me was still in my memory, and Geet," Armaan paused as he thought of Geet, and he had his eyes filled up with tears and he stood up and went away,
***************************************************************************
"Boss, the girl and the cover is with Maan Singh Khurana, and I think he knows what's in the cover, and he also saw me, but I got away from him," Gaya said as he called his boss,
"Oh my god, now Big Boss will definitely won't be happy," his boss said, "now what to do boss," Gaya asked, "Gaya, Maan Khurana had seen you and will surely try to find you, so you go away from Delhi for few months, and don't come back until I say, I will put money in your account, ok" his boss ordered and Gaya too said ok,
Maan and Geet finally came home, and they were shocked as they entered the hall, "Dadi maa," Geet shouted as she saw Dadi maa and rushed and hugged her, just like a little kid, "Geet Beta," Dadi maa too hugged her, "How are you," Geet asked holding Dadi maa's face,
"Fine," Dadi maa said and Dev came from his room and shouted a big hi, "Bro, how are you," Dev rushed to Maan and hugged him and Maan too hugged him, "I am fine, how are you," Maan asked and Dev said he is fine, "when did you come," Maan asked and Dev said just now,
"Ok, then Dadi maa, Dev, you both go and take rest, I have to go to the office, don't know what they had been doing yesterday," Maan said as he waved a bye to all,
"Dadi maa, Dev you go to your room, I will bring you something to drink and eat," Geet said with a smile, and Dadi maa and Dev could see a change in her, and it made them happy, and they both nodded and went up, to their room,
"Oh my god, Nakul, Nakul," Dev shouted as he saw his messed up room and Dadi maa too came and stood near him and was surprised, Then Nakul came and stood there, "what is this, what happened?" Dev asked and Nakul slowly said everything that happened putting both Dadi maa and Dev to shock,
Part 24
Maan's Anger
Adi and Pinky were standing at the reception and both were very nervous, "Adi sir, what will happen now," Pinky asked nervously,
"No idea Pinky, but what to do, I have called Maan sir, a million times yesterday and he didn't take the call and if he finds out what happened in the meeting, he will kill us all," Adi said, "One day he was not present at the meeting and we lost a project, Maan sir will not forgive us," Adi said as he knew Maan's anger,
"But that was the mistake of Sasha right," Pinky asked innocently, "Pinky we are not in a school, that we blame one another, I should have checked the designs myself, and I don't know how we haven't noted those details in our previous meetings," Adi said and stood there,
"I am so scared and where is Sasha," Pinky asked looking inside, "she is scared to dead, thinking what MK will say and is in her cabin, trying to get back to our clients," Adi said and as they were speaking, the floors lift opened and Maan entered in,
Adi and Pinky frozen at their place and was looking nervous and Maan turned and looked at them and both of them wished a Good Afternoon, together and Maan nodded, and went in and Adi and Pinky walked behind him,
Maan could see that his whole office was tensed and nervous, it was normal for these guys to get nervous when Maan enters but today it was a bit high, Maan looked at them as they wished good afternoon and Maan found Sasha missing in the office area, because she always used to boss up the people here.
"Where is Sasha?" Maan asked and Adi said she is in her cabin and he signaled a staff to call her and he too went away, "Pinky, Bring me the files and the contracts of Ratan farmhouse project," Maan said looking straight and Pinky was damn scared and her heart stopped beating and she felt like fainting,
"Adi, Pinky, come to my cabin with the files," Maan said and went in, "Adi sir, what to do now," Pinky said as she started to sweat high, "Pinky, no other go than to face Maan sir, do one thing, you stay here and I will go and try to explain what happened to Maan sir, Ok," Adi said and went to Maan's cabin,
"Sir May I come in," Adi asked and Maan said a ok, "where is the files Adi," Maan asked and looked behind Adi, "and where is Sasha," Maan asked puzzled by his reaction, "Excuse me, MK," Sasha tapped the door and Maan called her in,
***************************************************************************
Both Adi and Sasha looked at each other and stood there and was looking at Maan, Maan looked at them, staring at him, "are you seeing me for the first time, where are the files," Maan yelled and Sasha almost fallen back,
"Sasha, sit down and say me what happened in the meeting, and Adi go and call that Pinky and ask her to bring the files soon, how long will she take," Maan scorned and both Adi and Sasha was trembling, "Sit down," Maan yelled and Sasha sat there and Maan was waiting for her to speak but she was looking at Adi,
Just then a phone came and Maan took the call, "Hello, Maan Khurana here," Maan answered and he was silent after that, and his face reaction was changing slowly, "Non sense, what the hell are you speaking, remember you are speaking about Maan Singh Khurana's Staff," Maan yelled and both Adi and Sasha looked at each other,
Maan then kept the receiver, actually smashed the receiver and looked at Adi and Sasha, both were looking down, "Adi what happened yesterday at the meeting," Maan asked between his teeth suppressing his anger, "Sir, Mr. Gupta and his partner totally rejected our design and said that they haven't asked for these designs and they said they had specifically said what designs they need to you," Adi said slowly with all his courage,
"MK, I swear with my life, I only showed them the design you approved, I didn't do anything else, and as they said that, I told them that if they had said any change about the designs then you would have instructed me, but you haven't said anything when we had the discussion, so I thought it's ok and presented it and they got anger for that," Sasha said in a shivering voice,
Maan then closed his eyes and he remember the day when Sasha was showing him and explaining him the designs and he was thinking about Geet's tension and haven't listening to Sasha and his clients are right, they had told him what they needed and he forgot to say that to her as he was totally distracted and disturbed, Maan stood up and held his head, "What have I done," Maan thought frustrated,
"Sorry, Sir," Both Adi and Sasha said together, "But why haven't you call me," Maan asked putting Adi to shock, "Sir, no sir, I have called you several times and suddenly you switched off your mobile and I even messaged you sir, as I don't know what to do, and I even called your house sir, and Nakul said you had gone out and so I don't know what else to do," Adi said and he looked at Maan,
"You both can go," Maan said as his frustration was rising high, it was all his mistake, and it caused a project for the company and insult for his staff members, Both Adi and Sasha looked at each other and was totally surprise,
They lost a project and Maan haven't said anything for it, weird, then Adi and Sasha went out, feeling escaped, "Adi, what happened to, MK, why didn't he say anything" Sasha asked wondering high, "I am also thinking about that only, anyhow, lets concentrate on our next project," Adi said and went out,
Maan then rushed out of his office and went away, "Adi Sir," Pinky came rushing to Adi and Adi looked at her puzzled, "Maan sir had gone out," Pinky said, "What, just now he came, looks like he was really upset because of that project," Adi said and he can't stop wondering why Maan haven't said anything,
****************************************************************************
Maan reached his house and Dadi maa, Geet and Dev were sitting together, as Maan rushed in and he looked at them and without a word went inside, and his face was burning with anger, "Dadi maa, bro looks so upset, I mean anger," Dev said as they stood up,
"Yes Dev, lets go and talk to him," Dadi maa said, "Ok Dadi maa, you and Dev go and talk to him, I will bring him something to drink," Geet said and went in,
"Maan, what happened," Dadi maa asked as she and Dev entered, "Dev, Dadi maa, please go away. Leave me alone." Maan said controlling his anger and closing his eyes, "But Maan what happened, why are you so anger, did your staffs done something wrong," Dadi maa asked,
"No, No, I did the mistake I did, and I am facing the consequences," Maan said controlling his anger, "Bro, what are you saying what mistake you did," Dev asked looking at him, "what mistake. What mistake, I had done plenty, my first mistake was going to Geet's marriage as per Dadi maa's words, My second one was Marrying Geet, and third was letting you go to Amritsar and fourth was letting that stupid girl ruin my mind and world," Maan yelled high,
Dev turned to See Geet standing there shocked, and He don't know what to do, Maan then turn and found Geet standing there and he dragged her into the room pulling her by her arms, "why the hell did you get that cover from an unknown stranger and as you have did why haven't you said to me first, ah, because of you because of you, today for the first time an project had been gone out of my hand, MK's clients rejected his work," Maan yelled at her face scaring her and pressing her arms,
"Maan leave her," Dadi maa said as she pulled his hands holding her arms, "Are you happy now Dadi maa, tell me, this is why, this is why I said I don't want to get married, just two days not even two days, just one and half days, I turned my eyes towards her and I lost a project, I don't know how many I would lost in this one year,"
"All the name I earn was not a fun thing, it took a lot of hard work, and now, because of this brainless girl I am, I, Damn it," Maan yelled, "this is what you wanted right Dadi maa, for me to be happy in my Marriage, look at me, I am so damn happy, you had thrown me into a hell, by Marrying her to me, I hate this marriage, I hate her," Maan yelled out letting his anger and let his frustration rule his mind and words,
Geet who was standing there, unable to bear this, tears running from her eyes, rushed out, Immediately "Geet, Geet," , "Maan what you are doing is not fair," Dadi maa said, "Yes, what I am doing is not fair and what you are doing is fair," Maan said and went away from his room,
Dadi maa then went towards Geet's room and saw her crying high, and Dadi maa tried to go and talk to her but Dev stopped her, "Dadi maa, leave her alone, if we go she will only cry more, this is between an husband and wife, and they have to solve it themselves," Dev said and he pulled away Dadi maa with him, and Dadi maa too walked away half heartedly, not willing to go away leaving Geet like this,
Then Dadi maa and Dev went and sat on the sofa, "what to do now Dev," Dadi maa asked and he said, "We can only trust the god now,"
"Dadi maa," Nakul Came in with a big parcel, "what is it Nakul," Dadi maa asked looking at the parcel, "It's for you only Dadi maa," Nakul said and Dev got the parcel from him and looked at it, "It's from Geet's house Hosharpur," Dev said and opened the parcel,
There was an album in it, and it was Geet and Maan's wedding album, "Dadi maa, bro's wedding album," Dev said and Dadi maa's eyes filled with tears, "Hmm, they must have been thinking that Geet is happy here and we would take good care of her, but," Dadi maa cried, "Dadi maa please, please," Dev said as he held her close,
"Nakul, you go and give this to Geet," Dev said and Nakul too said a yes and took the album to Geet,
*****************************************************************************
Geet was crying her heart out, "Baba ji, why me, what have I done, He hates me, what kind of relationship you had given me, morning only I thought that he really cares for me and now, everything had been a dream, not even a dream, it just vanished, he hates me," Geet cried thinking about Maan's words.
"I had put his life into hell, what will I do, what will I do, I can't do this anymore, I can't I can't hurt him and also hurt myself like this, enough, I will get out of here, I will go back to my house, or somewhere away from him," Geet thought, and was crying, just then Nakul came and Gave her the album,
Geet got it and kept it on the bed and stood up, not anymore, at least his life could be happy, Geet thought and decided to leave the house once and for all, and she left all her things there even and went away from her room just with her purse,
As she walked from her room, she stopped near Maan's room, and suddenly she heard him sneezing high, and she slowly looked into his room, and she found him holding a file and sneezing high, he must have caught cold, Geet thought as she rushed to the hall, there was no pain in her heart now, just worried about Maan,
"Dadi maa, Dadi maa," Geet called and Nakul said Dadi maa and Dev had gone out to the temple, then Geet phone to Dadi maa and said that Maan had caught cold, "what, Geet, he is allergic to the cold medicines too, and he gets really cranky when he get cold, please apply some balm, I will come immediately," Dadi maa said,
Geet went to Maan's room with a Balm but was so scared, he got tired of the sneezing and was laying there holding his head, and closing his eyes, Geet slowly went in and she knew he would scold and she was ready to get the scolding too, his health is more important she thought and paused herself,
Why is she this mush worried for him, though he hurt her so much, though she decided to go away from him, why? Is he that important for her?
Part 25
Love wins the pain and anger
Geet was standing there with Balm in her hand and looking at Maan and thinking about her sudden change in her mind, wasn't she suppose to be hurt, but she felt the pain few minutes ago and seeing him in pain gave her more pain than she could imagine and an restlessness covered her heart which she haven't even thought she have it in her, for him,
Her thought was disturbed by his sneezing and she rushed in and Maan was still holding his head and closing his eyes, Geet went and sat down on the floor and took the balm and started to apply it on his foot, Maan jerked off his feet as he suddenly felt her hands in his legs and opened his eyes,
Geet looked at him but didn't react, she slowly rubbed the balm in his foot, "Geet," Maan pulled his legs from her and looked at her, "Please, you got cold and you are allergic to Tablets too, so Dadi maa only asked me to apply it, if not for you atleast for Dadi maa's sake," Geet said firmly as she pulled his legs slowly and applied the balm,
Maan didn't say anything as he was feeling some kind of guilt as his anger had been calmed down now and he remember his words, and he knew he must have hurt her so much, but he thought she would be anger and would not even see his face, for what all he said and here she is serve him, holding his legs,
Maan looked at her face, for any sign of anger, or upset, but he could only find care and concern in her face, her cheeks has filled with tear tracks, say that she had been crying high, Maan don't know how to react or what to say, Geet took his another leg and applied the balm,
And Maan was watching her, "Please you take rest, till Dadi maa comes," Geet said and went away, Maan wanted to ask how she feels now, he felt sorry for her, "Geet," Maan called and she turned to look at him, waiting for his words, but Maan actually don't know what to say, "I need black coffee," Maan said as he don't know what else to say,
Geet smiled a bit and nodded and went away, Maan sat up and he was so confused, "why is she doing all this after all I had told her," Maan thought as he remember her face,
"Why am I doing all this after all he said about me," Geet thought as she went into the kitchen, and was making him his black coffee,
******************************************************************************
Then the Dadi maa came went to Maan's room and he was sleeping well, then she went to the kitchen, Geet was cooking something, "Geet Beta," Dadi maa called and Geet smiled and Dadi maa was almost shocked to see her smile, she thought Geet would be still upset and crying but her face was calm and happy,
"Geet, Maan is sleeping did you," Dadi maa stopped as she don't know how to ask, "Ji, Dadi maa, I had applied the balm and he asked for black coffee and I gave him and he said he will rest for a while and not to disturb him," Geet said and smiled a bit, and Dadi maa caressed her head and went out,
"what happened, Dadi maa," Dev asked as he stood there, "don't know Dev, I was really scared that Maan would say something if Geet goes before him and I thought Geet too would be anger on him, for hurting her, but they were totally alright with each other, Maan allowed her to serve him and she too seems happy for it,"
"Dadi maa, may be the god heard your prayer," Dev said with a smile and Dadi maa too nodded, and they went to their room, after that Geet prepared the dinner and then at night everyone assemble on the dining table,
"Bro, how is your mood now," Dev asked and Maan looked at him and he knew what he was asking about, "Dev, Dadi maa, I didn't mean to hurt you, I was anger so," Maan said when Geet came with the tray of food, "Never mind Maan, so what happened at the office," Dadi maa asked,
"Oh, Dadi maa, one project has gone out of our hand," Maan said frustrated and his upset face said how much he hated it, "I was worried about Geet and didn't pay attention to the presentation Details and later I was with Geet in the hospital, and didn't attended the meeting," Maan explained,
"Sorry," Geet said who was standing there and plating the dishes for them, "It's ok," Maan said without even looking at her, and as they finished the dinner, Maan stood up, "Geet, tomorrow the doctor asked you to come for the check up, so," Maan said without looking at her,
"I will go by myself, I am ok now," Geet said looking at him, "No, Dev, Take her to the hospital," Maan said and Dev too nodded with a smile, then everyone stoop up and went to their room,
******************************************************************************
Geet went inside her room and looked at the album she kept on the bed and took it and opened it, and the first page was the still of Maan tying her the Mangalsutra and Geet eyes filled up, and she touched her Mangalsutra in her neck and remembered the moments which happened a days before when she came from the hospital,
(A day before)
"Baba ji, my, my Mangalsutra", Geet said freaking out as she touched her neck, and she stood up though she was so weak and wasn't able to stand up, but still she stood up and walked slowly, and stood near the table, hold it and was searching on the table,
"Geet, what are you doing, I told you not to get down from the bed," Maan voice froze her and she turned around to see him, staring at her, "Ji, oh," Geet struggled as she touched her neck, and Maan understood, "Geet your jewels are with me, they gave it to me when they were taking your scan," Maan said and went away,
Geet was looking behind him and he returned after a few minutes with a bag with her jewels in it, and Maan helped her to walk and sit on the bed and gave her the bag, Geet searched first for her Mangalsutra from the bag and took it out and try to wear it, but she wasn't able to and her hands and fingers were feeling so weak, even to hold it around her neck,
Maan who was sitting near her looking at her, stood up and went behind Geet and pulled her hair away from her shoulders and held the ends of the Mangalsutra she was holding, and as Maan touched it, Geet freed it and took her hands away and Maan tied it, Geet eyes filled up as if he is doing it for the first time,
Then Maan came and stood before her and pulled the bag from her, "these things you can wear later, so leave it, and take rest," He said in his bossy way and Geet too said an ok with a slight smile and Maan went away,
Geet touched her neck and smiled and laid back, with a happiness filling her mind overcoming the pain she was having,
"Geet" Dadi maa's voice Made Geet to come back to the present, and she closed the album, which she was holding, and looked at Dadi maa, with a smile and tears in her eyes, "Geet, still upset about Maan's words," Dadi maa asked worried as she saw Geet eyes,
******************************************************************************
"No Dadi maa, I am not upset at all, and he is right Dadi maa, if I he haven't been worried about me or with me in the hospital, then this would not have happened na, and also he loved his business so much and a thing like this is not good for his business na, that why," Geet said with a smiled,
Dadi maa looked at her and held her face, "instead of complaining, you are taking his side Geet, I am surprised," Dadi maa said with a smiled, "Dadi maa, why would I complain, he had done everything for me, and took care of me so well, and why would I complain," Geet said holding Dadi maa's hands on her face,
"Geet, do you like Maan," Dadi maa asked suddenly making Geet to look shocked, "Tell me Geet, do you like him, do you want to live with him forever," Dadi maa asked again, Geet stood up and looked blank,
"Geet, I know it's not an easy question to answer, but Geet, if your answers is yes, than you have fight for it, not as this Geet, but as the Geet I saw in Hosharpur, happy, smiling, naughty and mischief Geet," Dadi maa said as she stood behind Geet,
"Only that Geet can win Maan's heart, the love and happiness in your heart, would change him, will show him the world he was not familiar too, world of happiness, love and smile, only your naughtiness could provoke his naughtiness and childishness in him," Dadi maa said and she turned Geet to face her, "Geet I am not compelling you, you have all the rights to decide your life,"
"But Geet, I am greedy for Maan's happiness now, I want you to be with him, to win him and his love," Dadi maa said and went away, leaving Geet confused, she stood like that for a few minutes and she went and sat on her bed, "does she like him, really?" Geet asked confused,
"I had already conformed that I will accept him as my husband and will be a true wife, but do I like him, really", Geet thought and walked outside her room towards the hall, then she suddenly heard Maan's sneezing again, "Again, started", Geet thought and rushed to his room,
Maan was sneezing in his sleep, and Geet saw a drinks bottle and glass there and he was sleeping tiredly, Geet went near him and she could smell the drink smell, she looked at him and then thought to call Dadi maa, but she stopped, "Dadi maa, would be sleeping now, and it would not be right to wake her up," Geet thought and went to her room and took the balm and come to Maan's room
Geet sat near his foot and took his foot and started to apply the balm and rub it hard, and as she applied the balm to both his foot, she took some Balm and applied it on his hands too, and rubbed it well, as she finished applying the balm, Geet sat there even, looking at him calm sleeping face,
Looking at his face and Geet found a smile in her lips and she knew now that she really likes him, the concern, the care, the happiness, the excitement that her heart feels when she is near him, was the soul proof that she likes him, and she was ready to spend her life with him, forever, she was looking at his face sitting on the floor and slept there even,
Morning sun waked Geet up and she stood up and looked at Maan, who was sleeping still, then Geet covered Maan properly with the blanket and went to her room, her mind was feeling happy now, for some reason, she felt light at her heart and it's because she accepted her heart and it's words, yes she likes Maan and wanted to win his heart and she was ready to do whatever she wants to do to win him,
She then got freshen up and dress up and went to the kitchen and made Maan's black coffee and went to his room and still he was sleeping, and the sun was hitting his face directly and disturbing his sleep, Geet then went and pulled all the curtains and prevented the sunlight from disturbing him and kept his black coffee on the table and looked at him and she smiled looking at him and she was now feeling some kind of strange feeling that she never had and she don't know why, but she like it ,
Then she went to get his breakfast ready, with a big smile and happiness...
Part 26
Geet Meets Armaan,
Geet went and prepared the breakfast, and everyone assembled around the table to have their breakfast, Maan was reading his newspaper, when Geet bought the tray and kept on the table, "Good morning Dadi maa," Geet wished and Dadi maa too wished back, "Good morning Maan ji," Geet said with a big smile,
Maan looked at her, her face smiling big and her eyes shining, Maan just nodded, "Dadi maa, where is Dev?" Maan asked and Dadi maa said she don't know, "Oh, Dev had gone out to meet his friend, and will be back soon," Geet said and Maan looked at her,
"Doesn't he know that he has to take you to the doctor, why did he go now," Maan asked with his anger filled words, "Ji, my appointment is only at 11 and Dev will be back by then, why are you getting tensed for these small things all," Geet said and Maan was so surprised,
This was the first time, he really sees this kind of confident and clarity in her speech and so Maan nodded and turned his plate up, but he got shocked, when Geet took away the plate from him and kept a bowl in front of him, "What are you doing Geet?" Maan asked as he got angered by her action,
"Ji, you are having cold and you were having fever too, so its better you take this spicy porridge for breakfast, my mom used to make it when I get sick" Geet said, "what, look Geet, I don't need this and I am perfectly alright, and I know a perfect medicine for cold, if I get it again" Maan said and Geet knew he was talking about his drinks he had yesterday night,
"Really, that's why you were sneezing all night in your sleep," Geet asked, "what non sense, I didn't sneeze and I am perfectly alright," Maan said trying to control his anger, "Yes, you are now, but not because of your medicine, it's because I had been rubbing your hands and legs with the balm, all night," Geet said in a flow and bit her lips,
"Oops, I am not suppose to say that," Geet thought to herself and looked at Maan, who was looking at her shocked, "you were in my room, all night, who gave you the permission, to enter into my room," Maan yelled and Geet went to Dadi maa and sat near her,
"Dadi maa, you even tell me Dadi maa, he was sleeping deeply and also was sneezing high, so what else I can do," Geet said and Dadi maa looked at her cute face, "Maan, what Geet did was right, or else you temperature would have been got high and you would have gotten so sick," Dadi maa supported Geet,
"Dadi maa, I don't want anyone to care about my health, I can take care of it myself," Maan said between his teeth, he really hated that fact that Geet was looking after him all night, it made him feel weak, Geet then went and stood near him,
"But I will, you had take care of me and my health so well when I was in the hospital and after I came home, so it's my duty to take care of your health too, and when you asked me to rest up and eat proper food, I obeyed you without a word, and now you are asking so many question, why is this rules so different for you and me, if you do, it's right and when I do, you get anger," Geet asked with her fake anger,
Maan was totally shocked so as Dadi maa, Maan had no idea that Geet would talk like this, he was so taken aback, "Geet I did so because you were weak," Maan said finally "and I am perfectly alright now." Maan said stressing his words,
"Wrong, I was perfectly alright then, but still I listen to your words, and now you are sick," Geet argued, "I am not sick," Maan yelled, "I don't believe it," Geet said and Maan's temper was getting high,
"Enough, you both," Dadi maa yelled and they both stopped and looked at her, "I feel like sitting before some kids," Dadi maa said and Maan looked embarrassed, "Maan, Geet is right, have the porridge now and for afternoon, I will make your favourite dishes," Dadi maa said firmly, "But Dadi maa," Maan began to speak, but she stopped him, by her stare "not a word, Geet, serve him," Dadi maa ordered and she obeyed,
After the breakfast, Maan went to his office and Geet went to her room, and started to get ready to go to the hospital,
******************************************************************************
"Geet, Dev came dear, get ready soon," Dadi maa said from the hall and Geet rushed out of her room and came and stood before Dadi maa, and Dadi maa could see the Geet, whom she missed so long,
"Dadi maa, Dev's breakfast," Geet asked and Dadi maa said he had already had it, "ok Dadi maa, I am ready, will go and come soon," Geet said and Dadi maa, held her hand, and pulled Geet near her and looked at her face,
"Geet, after all, you have decided to live your life with Maan forever," Dadi maa said and Geet looked at her shocked, "Dadi maa, o," Geet trembled, "No need to say Geet, the way you were speaking today, and the way you made Maan to speak was amazing, and I could see now my darling Geet is back to life, now my house will be filled with happiness as well as Maan's life, Thank you Geet," Dadi maa said with a smile,
"Dadi maa, after all he gave me, it's only fair of me to give him everything I could in this life, He saved my pride and my families by marrying me and he saved my life and took care of me like a mother,"
"Dadi maa, if he could do this much for a person whom he thinks he hates to the core, then why can't I do something for him, who had cared me so much," Geet said think about Maan, "and also I like him, may be even more," Geet thought to herself as she thought about herself staring at him in the terrace and she turned red,
"Geet, you have to fight hard to get his love for you, it's not easy, you might get hurt and upset, it's a tough job to win Maan's heart," Dadi maa said with a grin, "Dadi maa, I didn't plan to marry him, my Baba ji did, if this is his wish then he will make me win his heart, and I am ready for everything and I also not a weak person Dadi maa, I am a Punjabi girl," Geet said with a pride and smile
"Always be happy dear, may the lord be with you always," Dadi maa blessed her, as she kissed Geet's forehead, "Geet can we go," Dev came down and Geet said an ok and they both said bye to Dadi maa and moved out,
******************************************************************************
Geet and Dev went to the doctor and she was welcoming them with a bright face, "Welcome Mrs.Khurana, Just now Mr.Khurana called and asked whether you had come to the check up or not," the doctor said surprising both Dev and Geet,
"Bro, called to ask, wow, I am surprised," Dev said with a big smile, "Mr.Dev, What's there to get surprised, his wife's health issue means, he would be worried naturally right?" the doctor asked and both Dev and Geet smiled, "of course doctor, Bro is such a good husband," he said aloud to the doctor, "But he doesn't accept it, to himself" Dev whispered in Geet's ears, "Dev" Geet scorned,
"Mr.Dev, could you wait outside," the doctor said and Dev too said and yes, "Geet, I will be waiting right outside," Dev said went out,
The doctor checked Geet, "Mrs.Khurana, Can you please wait outside, I will call you went it's done," the doctor said and Geet too said an ok, and went out, Dev was standing there and looked at Geet, "Checking over," Dev asked and Geet nodded, "Doctor wants us to wait as she said she will say the results now even,"
So they both waited, suddenly Dev phone rang and Dev took and looked at it and he smiled big, and turned to Geet, "Geet, I will be right back, important call," Dev said with a shyness, "Important call or important person, Dev," Geet asked with a grin, Making Dev to blush, "Geet, please," Dev said and went out,
After a few minutes the doctor came out, "Mrs.Khurana, your reports are here, you are good now, but remember you still week, and anemic so, I had given you some tablets, and I had to give you some personal advise too, so please step in," the doctor said as she walked Geet into her cabin,
"Mrs.Khurana, as I said your body is so weak right now, and I had given you health drinks and tablets, so I would advise you not to have an intimate relationship with your husband, for a month or two, until your health gets better, just for your health sake, after two months I will fix you an appointment and will have the tests again and will say the results, until then take good care, eat well and have the tablets ok, everything will be fine," the doctor said and Geet nodded,
Geet then walked out thinking doctors words, "Intimate relationship, poor doctor, what she will know about my relationship with my husband," Geet smiled and walked up and dashed on someone,
"sorry," she said and turned towards the person, and she was shocked, frozen for a minute, "Armaan," Geet said slowly and her eyes filled up, Armaan who stood before was still shocked, he was not shocked to see her, but the way she is, her forehead filled with Sindur, her neck bearing a mangalsutra,
"you are married," Armaan said, unable to control his pain raising in his heart, "how could she," he thought, "Geet," just then Dev voice came from behind and they both turned up, and saw Dev looking at them shocked, and he came near them, "Geet, is everything ok," Dev asked as he was looking at Armaan,
"Excuse me," Armaan excused from them and went away, and Dev turned and looked at Geet, "Geet are you ok, everything ok, right" Dev asked worried looking at Geet's shocked face, Geet too nodded and looked at Dev, "Let's go," she said and Dev didn't stress her and said an ok,
"Why Baba ji, why, what did I do, just today I decided what my life would be and now, you bring Armaan before me, why, why," Geet thought as her mind started to play her the time she spend with Armaan, the laughers they shared and life they planned etc, she closed her eyes as she didn't want to think about it, but she can't,
The shock in his face and his eyes, when he saw her, was saying her that he was thinking that she would have been waiting for him, she felt like cheated him, his trust, but he left her in this situation, she was so confused again, and as she reached Khurana House, she didn't say a word to anyone, but just went to her room, and hit her bed,
*****************************************************************************
"Armaan, what happened," Meera asked as she came out of the kitchen and saw Armaan sitting on the couch holding his head, "She is Married, she is married," Armaan said, "she didn't even wait for me, she didn't try to find the truth and she married now," Armaan said and Meera came and sat near him, "you saw Geet," Meera asked, and Armaan nodded,
Meera had never seen Geet before but Armaan had said many things about Geet, and she knew how much he loved Geet, "Sorry, but still I can't find anything wrong with her," Meera said and Armaan looked at her shocked,
"Look, you left her in the Marriage stage, and it's a village I could see what would have happened, they would have compelled her to marry someone and she would have done it for her family, even today Girls can't say their heart out, Armaan," Armaan somehow could not accept it and so he stood up and went to his room, "I am sorry Armaan, it's all because of me," Meera thought as she saw his pain and tears flowed from her eyes,
Part 27
Maan and Geet,
It was night 7.00, when Maan came to the mansion and Dadi maa and Dev was sitting and talking on the couch, "Maan, how was your day?" Dadi maa asked and Maan nodded and sat there with his head held back on the couch,
"Nakul, bring Maan's coffee," Dadi maa shouted and Maan looked at her puzzled, "Nakul? Dadi maa, where is Geet," Maan asked and Both Dadi maa and Dev looked at each other and looked at Maan, "She is in her room"
"In her room?" Maan asked and felt that something is wrong, she usual will not sleep this soon, "is she ok, did the doctor said something," Maan asked worried but he himself doesn't know why he was so concerned about her,
"Maan, you seems so worried about her," Dadi maa asked as if reading his mind, "yes, she is our guest and I am suppose to take Care of her too na," Maan said hiding his concern for her, "I know bro, that why you were calling the doctor to check whether Geet had her check up or not, right?" Dev asked suppressing his grin, and Dadi maa too laughed up,
"You both na, will never change, I am going to my room," Maan said and went to his room, but he was still feeling restless about Geet and he wanted to asked but he didn't, as he entered the room, Dev followed him,
"Bro, I need to speak to you," Dev said, "Dev let me freshen up first," Maan said as he took his towel, "Bro, it's about Geet," Dev said and Maan turned towards him with a puzzled look, "Geet," Maan asked,
"Yes, Bro, I didn't say about this to Dadi maa as she would get scared," Dev said, "O, Bro, when we went to the hospital everything was fine, until," Dev paused and Maan looked at him waiting for his words, "Until she saw a guy, her face and mood totally changed as she saw him, after that she turned totally silent and after coming from the hospital too she didn't speak to anyone, even to Dadi maa, and she didn't have her lunch too" Dev said worried,
Maan was so confused and worried, is that the guy who came to attack Geet and following her, did he said something to her, threaten her or something, "Dev why didn't you call me first even" Maan yelled, and Dev said an sorry, "it's ok, you go, I will go and see her" Maan said and went to the wash room and had a shower and freshen up and went to Geet's room,
*****************************************************************************
When Maan went to her room, Geet was lying on the bed, but she wasn't crying but was holding a photo and Maan could clearly see that it was her family photo, she was hugging the photo close to her heart and was lying there without a smile or any reaction, but her eyes were opened and was staring at the walls,
Maan slowly went near her, and took the photo she was holding, which pulled Geet to reality and she was shocked to see Maan there, she sat up on the bed and Maan too sat there, "Geet what happened, did he say something" Maan asked calmly and Geet was shocked,
"How did you know," Geet asked surprised as she thought he was talking about Armaan, "Dev said, that you were talking to a guy and then your mood got changed and so I guessed," Maan said and Geet don't know what to say,
"Is that the same guy who came to attack you," Maan asked and Geet looked at him with a relief, "oh he thought that it was that guy,", Geet got a big relief and said a no, "Look her Geet, I won't tell anything, if that was that guy then tell me, did he threaten you, did he said anything, or try to attack you," Maan asked worried,
Geet could see the concern in his eyes for her, it gave her some strength, "No, he was not that guy," Geet said and Maan looked at her puzzled, "then whom did you see there," Maan asked and Geet got down from the bed, and looked away, she don't know whether to say this to him or not,
"Geet, you can tell me, you can trust me," Maan said and Geet turned to him and looked into his eyes, "no, not like that, I trust you with my life, I trust you as much as I trust my god," Geet said and her eyes filled up,
Maan was looking at her waiting for her to speak, "o, I saw someone from my past, which I wanted to forget, thus I got disturbed," Geet said slowly, "I really wanted to live my life like all other girls and have an happy future and seeing him, I got my past memories back and I felt like I wasn't supposed to be happy, because whenever I smile and try to be happy, something bad happens, and," Geet's tears flowed down,
Maan looked at her and his heart somehow understood her pain and it felt the pain too, "Geet, life is a strange thing, sometime times it gives us immense happiness and sometimes pain, but both are not permanent, that is life Geet, so when happiness come enjoy it and when it gives pain, try to heal yourself, but never think or search for an reason, it will only make it worse, so forget it,"
"And you are right, you have all the rights to live your life the way you wanted and nothing should stop you from that, not your past nor your present, no one can stop you from being happy and do what you like, it's your life Geet, take control over it, don't let it control you, if you want to forget the past forget it, let it go and it will go, but if you hang on to it and if you try to forget it, I will not work, let it go"
Maan said in a steady and firm tone as if giving a speech, Geet was looking at him, observing his each words, a smile appeared in her tears filled face, and she nodded, "Geet, morning you compelled me to have that spicy porridge and afternoon, you said you will sent me pasta to my office but no, I want my pasta now, get it, now go and prepare me my pasta, I don't want any excuses," Maan said with his serious tone and went out,
Geet smiled big, understanding Maan words, that he was trying to make her feel better and normal, "you are right, no one can stop me from getting what I want, that's your love, my past will not bother me anymore, you are my past, present and my future, if you are with me, I would win anything, even you," Geet said and wiped her tears, "Baba ji, please be with me," Geet Prayed,
*****************************************************************************
Geet went to the washroom, had a quick warm shower and freshened herself and walked towards the kitchen, "Dev, how is Geet?" Dadi maa was asking Dev, "don't know Dadi maa, but bro went to talk to her," Dev said and they both got surprised when they saw Geet, walking towards them with a big smile and she looked so fresh,
"Dadi maa, I will go and prepare the dinner," Geet said and rushed towards the kitchen, "what happened to her, suddenly," Dadi maa asked and Dev shook his head, "Maybe bro's words had done this magic," Dev said looking at Dadi maa, "what kind of Magic is that, let me go and see," Dadi maa said with a smile and went towards the kitchen,
"Geet, Beta, what are you doing," Dadi maa asked looking at her, cutting the vegetables, "Dadi maa, o, Nakul had prepared the gravy, so I am preparing the paratha, and Pasta for him, Morning too he didn't have it na, and had to toast the bread, and I made the juice ready," Geet said with a smile and Dadi maa looked at her puzzled,
"So what kind of Magic did Maan do that it changed your mood so much," Dadi maa asked and Geet blushed high, "Dadi maa, please,", "Whatever it is I am so happy that my Geet is happy," Dadi maa said as she held her face and kissed her forehead,
"Ok, Geet, you carry on, I will wait for you at the table," Dadi maa said and went out and Geet smiled big and went on with her cooking, then after she cooked, she asked Nakul to call and come Maan, and she went and arranged the dishes on the table,
Then Maan came out and looked at Dadi maa, and saw Dev walking towards him, "Bro, I am going out for a birthday party, and I will be late," Dev said as he looked at Maan and Dadi maa, "Dev, is this birthday party, that important person's whom you were talking, with in the hospital," Geet asked with a grin,
And Dev looked shocked, "Geet," then Dev looked at Maan and Dadi maa, who was smiling at him, "Dev," Dadi maa looked at him with a grin, "no Dadi maa, nothing like that, Geet is playing on me, I, I, will go, bye," Dev said and scorned at Geet and went away, as he walked away Geet and Dadi maa both laughed seeing Dev trembling before them and rushing out,
Maan looked at Dadi maa and Geet, he felt happy to see Geet smile like that and also for making Dadi maa smile like this, after so many days he had seen Dadi maa laugh like this, and Geet started to served and sat there with them,
Maan had the pasta and looked at Geet and she was looking at him with her wide eyes shining up, and Maan nodded with a slight grin, making her to smiled big, Dadi maa too looked at her and smiled big, while eating Maan's phone rang and his face reaction changed as he saw the display,
"I am done, Excuse me," Maan said and went away from there, "hello, ah, tell me," Maan said and walked away and Dadi maa and Geet looked at him, and after that Dadi maa and Geet finished their dinner and Geet finished her kitchen work and went to her room,
She took the photo from her bed and placed it inside the cupboard, and went and changed her night suit and went to her bed, "Baba ji, please be with me as you have always been, and thank you for giving me Maan," Geet prayed and went to her sleep,
****************************************************************************
"how can this ever be possible, how could he escape," Maan yelled on the phone, "I don't know, but he did got away," the voice on the other end said, "and it's all because of you, you only said that he would not have been the murderer and asked me to treat him gentle and not as an criminal and I too did so and he escaped,"
"Daya, but, ok, had any new about him," Maan asked, "No, Maan, no news, we can't trace him, but he can't move out of this country or Delhi and he was saying that he didn't do it and he will find out who did it,"
"Daya, did he said anything about Meera," Maan asked, " He said he himself haven't know where she is and he too was searching for her only," Daya said and Maan signed big, "Maan, did your guys find where Meera is,"
"No Daya, still no news, but still my guys are searching for her, only she can saw the truth, until then it's risk above my head," Maan said as he hit the wall, "Maan, there is no risk, I will not let anything happen like that, ok, trust me, Maan, I will make a quick move ok," Daya said and kept the phone,
"How did Armaan escaped from there, I thought," Maan thought as he walked in his room with his drinks glass and suddenly stopped as his mind hit on something, "Geet, she said she saw someone from the past, did she see Armaan," Maan's thought and he kept the glass down and took his phone again,
"Daya, city hospital, I think Armaan was there between 11 to 12.30, I guess," Maan said, "City hospital? Sure Maan," Daya asked, "I am not sure, but there are chances," Maan said, "ok, I will take care of it, if I find something I will inform you," Daya said and kept the phone, and Maan hit his bed and looked at the ceiling,
Part 28
A New Plan,
"Ok Bro, I will be right there," Dev said and cut his call and looked at Dadi maa and Geet who was looking at him, "Dadi maa, bro needs a file which he kept in his room, so I will go and give the file to Bro and come." Dev said with a smile,
"Dev, his lunch is also ready, can you give that to him, while you go now," Geet asked, "of course, Geet," Dev said and he went to the room to take Maan's file and Geet went to the kitchen to pack Maan's lunch, then she gave the lunch to Dev and Dev went to the office,
"Dev sir," Pinky smiled big as he got out of the lift, "Hi pinky, how are you sweetheart," Dev asked and Pinky blushed and said she is fine, "and where is your sweetheart, Adi," Dev asked with a grin and Pinky blushed more,
"He is with Maan sir," Pinky said with a smile, "Pinky, does Adi love you or my bro, 24*7 he is with bro only," Dev asked with a grin, and Pinky smiled "Adi Sir's first love is Maan sir and his family only, and I am always happy for that,"
"Pinky, you are so sweet, Adi is lucky to have you, ok I will to go see those love birds and come," Dev said and went in, and he was quite shocked to see the queue of Girls, young, modern and beautiful, "did bro started his modeling Agency," Dev thought as he walked inside and while going he saw Sasha.
"Hi Sasha," he said and Sasha smiled and she was looking upset too, "what's happening in the office," Dev went and knocked on Maan's cabin door, "Can I come in bro," Dev asked, and Maan called him in, "hi Adi," Dev said with a smile seeing Adi,
"Hello Dev, how are you?" Adi asked, "Ah, Adi, you na, so double minded, it's been a month I came from Canada, and now only you got time to ask me how am I, and if Bro even goes from your eyes for one day, then you would have called him an hundred times, to ask how is he, you only care for Bro, and not me,"
"No Dev, nothing like that, it's actually, o," Adi trembled for words, "ok ok, no need for any reasons," Dev said with a fake anger, "No Dev, I like you as much as I like Maan sir," Adi said as he looked at Maan for help,
"Dev, stop teasing Adi, and give me the file," Maan said and Dev gave the file, and his lunch box "and Adi, you don't need to get tensed, he knows that you always treat him as your brother," Maan said looking at Adi, "ok, Bro, I am leaving and ah, I will be needing Adi for a few minutes outside," Dev said,
"For what," Maan asked in a bossy tone, "Bro, it's been so long since we chatted with each other, so only," Dev said as he pulled Adi by his shoulders, "Dev it's office hour and Adi has so many works, if you need to talk to him, than wait here till the lunch time and can talk after that, ok, now leave us alone, we have lots of work," Maan said strictly and Dev said an ok and went out,
Dev went to Pinky's desk and stood there, "What happened, Dev sir," Pinky asked, "what to say Pinky, I wanted to talk to Adi but bro said I can't talk to him in office hours and asked me to wait till lunch time," Dev said with a sad face, "you know Pinky, at home he is atleast a bit soft and here he is totally harsh even to his bro,"
"You know Maan sir na, anyways, it's only Half an hour for the Lunch break, you can go out and come back if you like or you can wait in the waiting room, there are lots of books to read," Pinky suggested with a cute smile, "those business magazines, no, no, I will wait here even," Dev said and sat in the couch opposite to Pinky's desk,
While sitting too Dev noticed Girls coming in and going out and they were all well dressed, most of them looked rich too, "what happening," Dev absorbed as he was playing Games with his mobile,
"Hi Adi," Dev said as Adi came towards him, "Sorry Dev, got some immediate work so only Maan sir Made you wait," Adi said as he came and sat near him, "Adi, I know when bro is in office, he treats everyone same, whether it's me or his employees, never mind, so how is everything going on in your life,"
"Everything is fine Dev, I was thinking to come to your house, it's been a while I saw Dadi maa too and also had to know what's happening in your house, especially with Maan sir, I am actually worried," Adi said and Pinky too came and sat near them,
"Why?" Dev asked puzzled, "Nothing big, but these days Maan sir is bit restless and you must have known, we lost a client for the first time and Maan sir didn't even say a word and he was now a days attending the calls from your house in office hours, I was concerned for Dadi maa, is her health ok" Adi said worried,
"Adi, she is fine, I will tell everything afterwards, first say me what's happening in our office," Dev asked as some girls crossed him, "Bro said he is gonna start a Ad agency but looks like he had started Modeling Agency instead, looking at all these girls" Dev said, "Oh, no, no, they are not models they came here for interview," Pinky said,
"Interview?" Dev looked at them, "Yes, as the business is growing up and job is also expanding, so we decided to select an PA for Maan sir, so he don't wanna remember nor forget anything, to make his job bit easier" Adi said, "But looking at these girls, they seems rich," Dev said confused, "Rich, there are some millionaires and billionaires her, but what to do, if you get a chance to be with Mr. Maan Singh Khurana, 24*7, even the angels would fall down," Pinky said with a grin,
"Can't blame them too, our Maan sir is so hot and smart and gorgeous, that all girls want to be with him," Pinky said, "so, what anyone shortlisted or selected," Dev asked looking at Pinky, "No Dev sir, I think they won't been anyone selected, actually, Maan sir gave this job to Adi sir and Sasha, and you know Sasha, she will not even let me talk with Maan sir"
"And she was feeling so irritated that we decided to select a PA for Maan sir, who would be with him, for 24*7, so she was so much upset, she doesn't want anyone to get close to Maan sir except her, so she is rejecting everyone who come, but with 2 days they have to select one, don't know what Adi sir and Sasha will do," Pinky said looking at Adi and smiled up,
"Oh, so this is the matter ah, oh, ok," Dev said thinking something and looked at the clock there, "hey sorry guys, I had take your lunch time, you guys go and have your lunch, I will be here only, so will meet you soon," Dev said and went inside the cabin where the candidates for the interview are waiting,

Dadi maa, Dev came and hugged her, "What Dev, you look so happy, how was the office visit" Dadi maa asked, and Geet too came from the kitchen hearing Dev voice and sat there, "Office was so fine, and so busy than usual," Dev said,
"Did you meet Adi, how is he" Dadi maa asked, "yeah Dadi maa, Adi is fine and he too said that he wanted to see you so he said he will come here soon," Dev said and Geet was listening to them, "And Dadi maa, today office was filled with so many beautiful and modern girls, no heart to come from there" Dev said, and Geet's reaction changed suddenly,
"What? Why?" Dadi maa asked, "Oh, There is an interview going on to select bro's personal assistance, and you won't believe Dadi maa, all rich, beautiful girl in and around Delhi are queued there for the interview, it was just like ramp walk there, I seriously thought Bro started an modeling agency," Dev said and Geet face totally got upset,
"And as they found I am his brother, they came and asked for me to recommend for their jobs and gave me their profiles too, look," Dev said as he gave some files which has some photos too, "Dev did they give this photos for job interview or some marriage interview, full scale photos" Dadi maa said as she saw the photo's,
Geet too took the files and looked at it, "Baba ji," she said her eyes went widen opened, "what kind of dress this girls are wearing and these photo's looks like some models and not of an employees," Geet said disgusted but she was feeling some kind of weird feeling, she felt like crying,
"Geet, what to do, and these girls are not some ordinary girls they are multi millionaires and have their own family business, yet they wanted to work here, you know why, only because of Bro, if they become his PA, they came be with them 24*7 and get close with him, can even go on foreign trips with him, and these girls would only want that, don't know who that lucky girl is" Dev said adding fuel to the fire,
Geet's eyes filled with tears and she just wanted to tear all the photos and if she can, the girls themselves, "Do they have to be with him all day," Geet asked innocently with her baby face, "All day, and sometimes at night too, you know parties, meeting and they have to travel with him, stay with him, party with him, dance with him, etc, etc," Dev said and Geet turned red,
"Dev stop it, see how upset you are making my dear Geet," Dadi maa said feeling pity for Geet, "Dadi maa, what did I do, I just said the fact," Dev said and Geet's tears flowed from her eyes and she stood to leave, "Ok, ok, Geet, I am sorry, I am so sorry, please forgive me," Dev said, and made Geet sit down,
"Geet, you don't like someone else to be with bro all day na, that too these girls who will eat him by their eyes even," Dev asked and Geet too nodded her head, "But Geet, they have too select him a PA na, but don't know how she will be, her character, her behavior, ah, don't know how to save bro from these girls" Dev said as he saw Dadi maa and grin big, and turned to Geet,
"Right, but what to do," Geet asked as she hated the idea of PA, being with Maan, "Geet, there is way, but you will not do it," Dev said and looked straight, "No Dev, I will," Geet said immediately without a second thought, "Ok, if your become bro's PA, then" Dev asked with a grin
"What," Geet jumped up and she looked at him and Dadi maa, and she felt like screaming, "what are you saying" Geet asked, "Geet, I am saying, to you to become bro's PA," Dev said again getting up, "Mean's I have to work for him, in office," Geet asked again and Dev nodded with a smile,
"No Baba ji, no," Geet said looking shocked, "Geet, listen, you know if you work as his PA, then you can be with him all day and you can have an chance to know him better or he can have a chance to know you better, you know, being in home and doing his favorite dishes will not impress him, only your involvement in business will impress him, he is a workaholic, so you too have to change into one," Dev said,
"Dadi maa say to her, if she is in home and he is in office, what's the use, she had to be near him, reminding him of his relationship with her, he should understand her, bro thinks Girls and relationship are an hindrance and barriers to his work and business, but he had to be proven wrong," Dev said,
"Dev is right Geet, this seems like a perfect chance, to be with Maan, to prove him you are worth to be his wife," Dadi maa too said, Geet was totally confused, she thought about it, the thought of being with Maan all day made her happy as well as scary, "Dadi maa, ok, even if I am ready, he will never accept nor allow me, for it, you think he will take me to his work place and introduce me to them as his wife and say I am going to be his PA, I don't think so" Geet said,
"Dev she is right, Maan will never say an yes," Dadi maa said and Dev thought for a minute, "Then will make him say yes, we will make him say that Geet could work in his office," Dev said with a grin and both Dadi maa and Geet looked at him puzzled,
Then Dev called Dadi maa and Geet near him and said his plan, "Baba ji," Geet screamed, "I, I can't do this, Dev please, I, I," Geet trembled, "Geet you have to do it," Dev said, "Or else leave it, they will select a girl and after that don't complaint that he is going around and partying and stay night with another girl," Dev said looking upset,
Geet thought about it and that scared her as well, and finally she said ok, "Don't worry, Geet, we will back you up," Dev said and Geet to said an ok,
******************************************************************************
Maan came home and Geet didn't go before him, she was telling herself that she can do it, she can do it, but she was feeling she can't, "Baba ji, please give me the strength to speak with him," Geet prayed,
It was dinner time and everyone was sitting there, and Geet came with the tray but her hands were trembling much, seeing Maan, Maan immediately understood her nervousness, may be she had see that guy or worse she had see Armaan, Maan thought but didn't ask anything,
"Geet relax, don't worry," Dev said as she stood near him and served the food, "hmmm, you are ask me to act before your brother and feel relax instead of that I would jump in to a sea," Geet said, "And if he finds out it's all a plan than, Baba Ji," Geet whispered to Dev
"I am done, Good night," Maan said to everyone as he stood up, "Maan, going to sleep so soon," Dadi maa asked, "no Dadi maa, I had some work before sleep, why?" Maan asked and Dadi maa said nothing and Maan smiled and went away,
As he went away, Geet sat down on the chair, "Geet go, now you can go and speak," Dev said with a smiled, and Geet started to sweat, "Geet you have to be brave, please, ok, think about it, if you didn't do it, then some of the girls whose picture you saw will become his PA and the night parties, drinks, Dance," Dev said and Geet stood up,
"I will go, I can't let anyone else near him like that," Geet said firmly, "That my Bhabhi, good luck," Dev said, "And we will be right behind you, if you go wrong, we will jump in to help you, ok," Dadi maa said and wished her good luck and Geet went to Maan's room,
"Ji, can I come in," Geet asked as she stood there near the door, Maan who was seeing the files kept it down, "Come in," Geet went and stood near him but didn't say anything, Maan looked at her standing there silently, "do you want to say something," Maan asked, and Geet said an yes, "ji, o," Geet said and Maan was waiting for her words,
