Episode 39
Love in the Air
Morning was fresh and shining when Geet got up, still her mind could feel the Maan closeness the previous night, the thought made her blush. She stood from her bed and was shocked to Meera sitting there reading some Magazine on the couch.
Meera, Geet exclaimed and went and hugged her. "Meera, how did you know I am here," Geet said surprised, Meera pulled and made Geet to sit on the couch there, "Actually My work there was over soon, so I called Maan to inform that the meeting is over, thus then, he told me that you were not feeling well, so he is taking you to his house and asked me to come directly to his house when I came back, it was around 4 in the morning when I came here, at that time I felt it's not good to disturb, so I went to our cottage,"
"And I don't know how sick you are so I bought you some clothes too, for you to change, but you look alright, so what really happened to you?" Meera asked.
"Meera please, don't panic, or yell, I will tell you everything," Geet held her hands and said everything that happened,
"How dare that Sasha is, why didn't you say this to Maan, that.." Meera yelled high.
"Meera please, she was jealous and thus," Geet's words were cut by Meera heated yelling,
"Geet, for god's sake, stop acting like that this is something, normal, that bloody bi***, had tried to kill you, just think what would have happened, if Maan didn't come there, No Geet, first the Girls room and now this, No, I am feeling that she is the one behind everything that happened to you, I am going to tell this to Maan," Meera roused up.
"Meera please, if Maan sir, knows this, then don't know what he will do to her, please Meera," Geet tried to convince Meera, but she turned around refusing to accept Geet's words,
"Meera please, try to understand, look, we wanted to change Maan sir's view about girls na, now if we say about Sasha, his view about girls will get even worse, and then how will he even try to think good about me and how will he accept his feeling for me and my love for him, Please Meera," Geet said holding Meera's hands, "see I will warn her myself, ok,".
Meera held Geet by her arms, "ok Geet, I am leaving her just for you, but if she doesn't something like this again, I would not leave her, ok, not even for you," Meera said stubbornly, and Geet accepted and hugged her, "ok Geet, I will see Maan and then will go back to the cottage, I think you can get ready here even and come to the office." Meera said and went out.
"Meera," Geet called her still feared, Meera understood her mind and promised that she will not say anything to Maan and smiled and went.
Geet took the clothes that Meera gave her and went into the washroom. And she came out refreshed, Geet went into the garden below to dry her hair and specially to feel some fresh air, she stood in the midst of the garden and started drying her hair, inhaling the fresh and sweet delicate scent of the flowers around her.
*************************************************************************
Maan went and stood in his balcony as Meera came and said that she will go back to the cottage, Maan's mind was playing the scenes his mind loved, Geet's face looking at him, staring into his eyes at various occasions, when he saw her first, when they were inside the locked room, while dancing in the rain, while meeting him in the dargah, and yesterday night.
Maan shook his head, but the image was unshaken, He looked down at his garden but there too he saw only Geet, who was drying her hair, with a towel, she was wiping her wet hair, she looked even more beautiful and mesmerizing without any make up and jewels, the morning sun making her face to shine,
Saajna, Sajnaa..
Ik tujh ko hi bas dekhkar
Bhuli mujhko hi meri najar
Tujh ko shaayad nahin hai khabar
Tujh ko jeete hain ham kis kadar
Judey jo tere khwab se
To tute ham neend se
Ye kaisaa teraa ishq hai saajnaa
Too hatho mein to hai mere
Hai kyoon nahin lakeero mein
Ye kaisa tera ishq hai Sajna
He was staring at her, as she was smiling and pushing her hair from one side to another, the water drops from her hair falling on to the flowers nearby,
Geet was enjoying the flowers around her and her eyes caught on the white roses there, she smiled at it, those roses remembered her about the Maan's misunderstand and their little drama, she smiled and looked at the roses, and turned around to see Maan watching her,
Maan, who was watching Geet's smiling seeing the roses, felt an unknown feeling, is this feeling and emotions he is having seeing Geet is, what he thinks it is and is she thinking the same way he is thinking or, he got confused, and broken his stare, Geet not knowing what to do, went away.
********************************************************************
Maan dressed up and went down, and saw Geet was arranging the dining table for breakfast. He stood there for a few minutes staring at her dazzling face,
Judey jo tere khwab se
To tute ham neend se
Ye kaisaa teraa ishq hai saajnaa
Too hatho mein to hai mere
Hai kyoon nahin lakeero mein
Ye kaisa tera ishq hai Sajna
Maan looked at her, and smiled without any reason, her cuteness was like a magnet attracting his heart towards it. Maan turned around, what is this girl doing to me, I am falling for her and I am not resisting and I don't want to resist too, why, why? He was asking to himself,
Then he went near Geet, She wished him with a blush filled smile, Maan asked her to join him and they started eating, without speaking anything. Suddenly Maan's thought about yesterday and looked at Geet,
"Geet, why did you go into the archives yesterday?" Maan asked suddenly, making Geet to inhale high and making her to cough. "Geet", Maan took the glass and poured some water and handed it to her to drink. Geet caught the glass and drank it all. She don't know what to say, well she had to lie.
Geet stood up and turned around, "I saw the room opened so went to check it and somebody locked me in, not knowing I am there," she said.
"I know, that the watchman must have done it, and how careless of him to lock the room, without checking" Maan yelled. Geet turned around but was still looking down,
"Sir, the mistake was mine, I should not have gone inside the room, I should have called the securities to check it out, and as it would always be an empty room, they must have closed it without check, there is nothing wrong with them, please sir, don't get angry on them, I will feel bad, please," Geet pleaded,
Maan nodded a yes, "Geet I need to see the Mumbai projects design files, so keep it ready and we have to get everything worked up as we need to start the work soon in Mumbai." Maan said.
"Sir, that file is in my place, I will do one thing I will go to the cottage and take the files and come back soon to the office sir," Geet said. And Maan said a yes,
"Geet, ask my driver to take you, hmm.., it will save time," Maan said, and Geet nodded with a smile and went away.
***************************************************************************
Maan was driving his car, still thinking about Geet, his thoughts distracted when he saw an little girl, standing in the middle of the road and waving the roses in her hand, as he passed her, he could see that she could be no more than a five year, Maan packed his Car in his left side and went towards the girl,
The girl smiled big as she saw Maan, "Sir, you need roses, just 5 each," She said with her innocent voice,
Maan smiled at her, "are you alone here, where is your Mom or Dad?" he asked.
The girl said that everyday her mom only will come to sell the flowers but as today her mom was not well, so she came to sell these flowers, as she can get some money for her mother's treatment. Just then a women came towards them, she rushed and hugged the little girl, "Where did you go my sweetheart and I was so scared, and what are you doing in the middle of the road," the women spoke.
The little girl said she came to sell the flowers, her women hugged her and asked her to come with her, but the little girl refused, she said she will not come until she earn the money and she turned to Maan and asked how much flowers he need.
Maan was so moved by this adamant nature of this little girl and her innocent and pure love, "ok, I will take everything, give me all" he said though he wasn't planning to buy.
The little girl smiled big and took all the roses and gave to Maan, and she started counting with her little fingers, to find how much he has to pay, but she was confused at looked at her mother, she understood and said 150.
Maan took out his wallet and took 5000 Rs and gave it to the little girl, who was looking surprised to see this much money, her mother too was shocked and speechless, "Look her little girl, I think you may not have to worry about the money until your mother is well and don't ever come like this alone and it's not good to roam alone in the roads without any elders near you, understand," he said firmly yet softly.
"Sir, you have such an great heart, let all your wishes come true and May the god give you all the happiness in this world for you, all the happiness," the women spoke emotionally looking at Maan's generosity.
Maan turned around and went towards his car, and put the roses bunches on the seat and started driving, what am I going to do with these flowers, he thought and he remembered Geet watching the roses in the garden.
**************************************************************************
Geet took the files and came back as soon as possible, still the office hasn't completely filled, and it was just 9.30. She saw Maan in his cabin as she passes his cabin and she thought to keep her bag in her cabin before going into his cabin. As she entered into her Cabin, she got shocked,
A bunch of red roses in a glass vase was kept on her table. "My god, who did this, if Maan sir sees this then he will start yelling, but who would have kept it, Sasha," she thought, "the only person, who want me to get into trouble." She looked around for Sasha but she was not seen, "surely I had to warn her today".
As she was keeping her bag on the table, Maan came in, and Geet was shocked to see him, "Great, Now he is going to start his yelling" she thought and stood there,
"Geet, take those files and come to the blueprints room," He said and turned around, Geet thanked god, as Maan didn't say anything about the roses. Maan then suddenly turned and looked at Geet and then at the roses, "Geet, those roses", He started.
"No sir, promise, I didn't bring it sir, and I don't know who kept it here, I really don't know sir, believe me," Geet pleaded.
"Geet, I know, you didn't bring those," Maan paused and Geet looked at his puzzled, "Because I only bought them", he said and went out. Geet was shocked and was staring at the blank space where Maan stood, Maan Sir, Bought Me flowers, that too roses, Red Roses, she can't believe it.
She thought she was dreaming for sure, right, she is dreaming, she pinched herself, it pained, oh, I am not dreaming, but how, why?
************************************************************************
Geet collected her sense and rushed out taking the files, she was blushing and her happiness was circling her making her glow, Sasha was coming in the opposite direction was shocked to see Geet, smiling and glowing like never before, Geet saw Sasha's shocked face and walked past her as she knew Maan was waiting for her and the files.
"Geet," Sasha called, and her face was puzzled with some many questions,
Geet is alright, and worst she is more energetic than before, but how, she was the one who locked her up and no one ever knew she was locked up and she was only thinking to open the room today at noon, and she was above to create a saving drama, but how could she be out before and she was looking down as theses questions jumped in her mind.
More than that what if she complained to Maan about her drama, "Sasha, you no need to be scared I will not tell about what you did to me, don't fear," Geet said coldly as if reading Sasha's mind.
"And I also knew that you were the one who locked me up in the girl's room too," Geet said.
Sasha looked at her, and gave a evil grin, "so what are you waiting for Ms.Geet, why didn't you complain to Maan Sir, are you scared for me,"
Geet was little surprised by her way of speaking, "No, I am scared for you, I know what Maan sir will do to you if he knows it, thus I am silent,"
"Oh come on, Geet, I know why you didn't say anything because Maan sir, will not believe anything without a proof, and you don't have any proof again me," Sasha said with the same grin.
"Proof, I have many, and I don't want any proof to prove what happened," Geet replied.
"Geet, don't be a fool, even if you say that I tricked you and locked you up in that room, Maan sir, won't believe and look at you, you don't look like someone who suffered in a locked up room, I don't know how you came out, but Maan sir will never believe your story," Sasha said with a grin.
Geet went close to her. "Right, if I said you lied me to get into that room and locked me up means, it will look like an story but Maan sir will believe that I was locked up in that room, you know why Sasha, because he is the one who saved me from there, he is the only who took me to the hospital, so I think he will not think that I am lying in this matter, and he will not asked for any proof."
"And even today he asked me, who was responsible for it but I didn't say your name, because, you may not have any shame in doing these thing, but I feel ashamed to say that a girl could go so low, out of her jealous, Sasha, you should be ashamed of yourself, if you don't than don't call yourself as a girl,"
Geet words provoked Sasha's anger, "And ah, again do try to do these kinds of shameful acts, because I will take it easily as of now, and you will be sorry," Geet said in a warning tone and went away.
**************************************************************************
Sasha rushed to her cabin, throw the files on the table and held the table, she can't take Geet's words, "that good for nothing Geet, had warned me, she called me shameless, ok, ok, She thinks that she is the symbol of all good characters right, ok, let me see that too,"
"I will not feel defeated Geet, never, I will get what I want, and I will do what I wish to do."
She roamed around in her cabin, burning with vengeance, she need to do something,
something, anything to destroy Geet, suddenly an idea flashed in her brain, she grinned big, the evilness smiling in her mind, "Geet this time, no mistakes will be done, I will not miss you this time, I will not,"
She went and took her phone and dialed a number, "hello, meet me at 8 in "Star Will" hotel, tonight, I have a work for you," she said and cut the call, smiling big.
***************************************************************************
Geet went to the blue prints room, and Maan was waiting for her, she went in still angry on Sasha, "Geet what took you so long," Maan asked, Geet looked at him standing and staring at her.
Geet thus realized that she was inside the room, and said nothing, and gave him the files, Maan looked at the files and then turned to Geet, who was standing there silently, "Geet, are you alright, do you still feel weak, do you want to take a day off" Maan asked as he thought she might still feel weak.
"No sir, I am alright," Geet said.
"Geet, sit down," Maan said, but as he was standing Geet said she will too stand, "Geet, I said you to sit" Maan yelled, making Geet to jump back and lose her balance, Maan caught her hand and pulled her towards him.
Geet went and fall on Maan's chest, and Maan held her waist in his one hand and he was holding the file on other hand. Geet was keeping her one hand on his chest and her other hand on his waist and rested her head on his hard chest.
Geet was lying on him so comfortably forgetting everything around her, she could hear his heart beat, she snuggled more on to him, Maan too could feel her heat hit him, he slightly moved his hand from her waist and encircled her resting his hand on her back, Geet pressed her head more into his chest, and moved her hand from his waist and encircled him and caught his vest in her hand, there they stood frozen enjoying the moment.

A small smile appeared on her lips and she doesn't want anything to ruin this moment, she closed her eyes, enjoying this precious minutes, Maan too felt a small smile in his lips, he didn't disturb her, or move, he stood as an statue, enjoying this moment himself,
Geet was in her world, feeling so safe and happy, Maan slightly rubbed his hands on her back, making Geet snuggle into him more and he let the file on his other hand to drop and held her with both his hands,
Geet pressed herself even more on to him, pushing her head more on to his chest and fisted his vest in her hand, Maan closed his eyes and held her close, making her his possession, she felt his hand tighten its hold and she was in her wonderland.
Maan could feel her body pressing on to him, he loved the softness of her body against his, his desire were boiling him up, Maan knew that he would lost himself into his desire at minute and he controlled his thoughts and opened his eyes, to see Geet still unmoved.
Maan knowing that she will not move herself, so he moved his hands encircling her and kept on her shoulders and bend his head a little,
His hot breath was hitting her ears now, "Geet," he called, Maan's voice pulled her back into reality immediately, what had been she doing, Geet got shocked due to her own action, and slightly pulled herself, shivering and breathing high.
She looked at Maan who was looking at her with a calm face, his eyes shining and she was fully drawn into it, losing herself again into his eyes, she was looking into his eyes search for his love, Maan too looked at her, her eyes showing him the same emotion as yesterday night, and Maan turned away breaking the stare and Geet too then realized herself and turned away.
She then stood away from him, turned herself from facing him, she felt embarrassed, she felt caught, she was shaking, trembling and most of all she was scared, about Maan reaction,
Maan went behind her, and stood close, "Geet, its ok, don't be scared," Maan spoke directly into her ears. Geet wanted to see his reaction but have no guts to face him now; she turned to leave taking the files, when Maan caught her hand.
Geet looked at him with shock, Maan slowly moved closer when Geet stepped back away from him, she stopped as she finally reached the wall, and she knew she can't move anymore, Maan was gaining on her, "Geet, what's in your mind?" He asked.
Maan direct question made Geet to breathe heavily, "Tell me Geet, what are you thinking?"
Geet started to sweat, shivering in nervousness and she looked at Maan, who was calm and close to her, she can only see Maan's bright eyes, dazzling at her, the meaning behind his questions were unrevealed.
"Sir, please," Geet said, making Maan to realize how close he was standing and so he moved aside a bit and Geet found a gap and flew away from the room. Maan looked at her with a silent grin.
***********************************************************************
It was noon when Geet and Meera rushed inside Adi's Cabin.
"Adi Sir, please get Maan Sir Permission please, just tomorrow, please" Both Geet and Meera were pleading Adi.
"No way, Maan Sir will ever allow for these things," Adi said stubbornly,
"But Adi sir, we are so tired of all this 24/7 work schedule, please just one day, that too we are only asking on Sunday na, Please Sir," Meera compelled.
"Meera, if you guys needed, I will take you both myself, but No way of an official trip," Adi refused,
"What's going on here?" Maan's sudden bossy voice made all the three to jump up in shock and they turned back slowly and were standing silently.
"Adi, I asked what's going on," Maan asked again, Both Meera and Geet were signing him to say, but Adi said Nothing.
"Meera, you say, what's going on?" Maan asked Meera, Meera was shocked yet gained all her strength and spoke out.
"Sir, we were planning for an outing to the Naggar Castle, tomorrow," Meera paused and looked at Geet, who was looking down, "And Geet was wondering whether you could too come with us," Meera's said, her words making Geet to looked at her in surprise and Meera continued, "But Adi sir was saying that you will never accept, that's all sir," Meera finished.
Maan looked at Geet, who was looking nervous with her head held down, "Outing, to Naggar Castle, tomorrow?" Maan asked as if he is calculating the words.
"Sir, we had been working so hard, not only us, but everyone, it would be a great relaxation for all, we are only planning tomorrow on Sunday, so our office work too will not be affected, and so it would be fun if we all go together and it would be even more great if you too could join us," Meera explained not looking at Maan. Maan was silent,
Maan looked at Geet who was now looking at him puzzled to know his decision as well as Meera and Adi, But Maan went out without a word.
Hmm, All three of them looked each other and had their seats, "Geet, Meera, don't worry I will take you both there, ok," Adi said as he saw both of them upset,
**********************************************************************
It was around 4 when Maan asked Adi to assemble everybody on the office central area, Adi said yes and started instructing everyone,
As everyone assembled, Adi went and informed Maan, and Maan came out, and everyone was looking puzzled, feared and confused.
"I know, that everyone here are working so hard on this project, and I must say that you were all doing a good job, as an appreciation for your hard works, Khurana company will take you all on an trip to Naggar Castle, tomorrow, and all arrangements and expenses will be taken care by the company," Maan announced, all the employees smiled and clapped and thanked him, but Meera, Geet and Adi were shockingly looking at Maan.
"Adi, make the arrangements" Maan said and went inside his cabin, everyone there were jumping with joy, and started there discussion for the trip, Meera and Geet hugged each other, "But is Maan sir, coming with us," Meera asked as he didn't say anything about it.
Both Meera and Geet looked at Adi, "Geet, why don't you go and ask for yourself," Adi said, and Geet said no she won't.
"Leave it Adi Sir, if Geet even was not interested in Maan sir's arrival means, then why should we bother, let's go," Meera dragged Adi from there before Geet could say anything, Geet too was eager to know whether Maan's coming with them,
Geet went inside her Cabin and was thinking about how to ask Maan about it, and she was also feeling nervous to go to him before him after their conversation earlier, just then her phone rang and Maan asked her to come in taking the budget files, Geet took the files and went into his cabin and knocking.
Maan got the files and was looking at it, Geet was feeling so restless, she looked at Maan, who was looking at the files seriously and seemed so normal, She had to ask him but how, Maan saw her, who was looking here and there and was crashing her dupatta's end and her face showed her confused mind set clearly,
"Geet, what's wrong with you," Maan asked suddenly, Making Geet to look at him in shock, "want to say something?" Maan asked with a slight grin.
"No sir," Geet said and Maan turned his attention to his file, "But I need to ask you something," Geet continued after a pause and Maan put his file on the table and looked at her as if waiting for her to ask.
As she was standing there silently, "Geet, what do you want to ask," Maan asked impatiently.
"Sir, that, whether, you too are coming for the trip tomorrow," Geet asked slowly, Maan without a word went near her slowly, who was standing sideways looking away.
"Do you want me to come?" Maan asked, Geet immediately turned to looked at him, his face so calm, his eyes shining like an million diamonds, his lips holding a little smile, Geet felt like she would faint there now,
"Tell me Geet, do you want me to come and if yes, then tell me, why you want me to come," Maan asked getting abit close, Geet was totally struck as she don't know what to say, and she can't take her eyes from his gorgeous face,
"Answer me Geet, I am waiting," Maan said, "Sir," is all, she can say, her heart was beating high, "Tell me, Geet," he stressed and Geet looked around and found her a space and went away rushing from there, before Maan could stop her, and leaving Maan stand there with big grin.
******************************************************************************
The rest of the day went well, Geet never went before Maan after that and her heart was still beating high with his question, why did he ask so, why and those flowers, Geet took those Rose bunch and kept in her Bag as she felt her cabin.
As she and Meera Came home, Meera throw her bag on the couch and sat there, "oh my god, can't believe Maan said ok, but still don't know whether he is coming", she said wondering.
"Meera, Maan sir, is coming." Geet said making Meera to straighten up, and Geet said their conversation,
"Geet, Maan asked you so, means he start to feel your love for him, great." Meera said jumping in joy, and Geet took the rose bunch and gave it to Meera and said Maan had kept it in her cabin.
"Geet, I can't believe it, roses, red roses, and Maan, Geet I am telling you, he is feeling special about you, or even more, he too is in love with you, thus he gave you these flowers," Meera said smiling big jumping on the couch.
"No Meera, we can't think like that, did you forgot that we are talking about Maan Singh Khurana and not some ordinary person, his acts has a special meanings and no one else can tell what's in his heart, except him," Geet said in a low tone.
Meera caught her hand, "Geet, whatever you say, I think Maan is realizing your love, so stop being embarrassed and shy and say what you have in your mind, if he again asks you about your feelings."
"Not so soon Meera, unless he says it for himself," Geet said stubbornly and Meera has to gave up as it's no use in compelling Geet. And they started discussing about the next day's trip.
***************************************************************************
When Meera and Geet came to the office in the morning, mostly everyone was there; dressed casually for the trip, Adi was busy in making the last minute arrangements. Geet too was looking lovely; Meera compelled her to let her hair free flowing, as it made her so beautiful.
Geet was searching for Maan, "Geet, Maan sir came," Meera exclaimed as she saw Maan's car.
Maan came out in his formal wear as usual; "Geet, Maan sir is coming with us na, then why he is wearing his formal wear" Meera asked Geet and before Geet could answer.
"Adi, if everything is set lets go," Maan ordered and everyone started to get inside the bus, but as per the seat count, there was 45 seats and they were 47 members, Meera noted that and pulled out Geet who was sitting in the three row and dragged her to the steps.
"Meera what are you doing?" Geet asked," we are gonna miss the place now", Geet complained.
"Exactly," Meera said smiling big, as the seat filled Geet and Meera was standing there, in the steps. Adi came to them, and asked what happened, "Adi Sir, No seat for us," Meera said in a sad tone.
Adi too looked around, "No problem guys, you two take my place and Raj's place, we will adjust ourselves" Adi said, Meera went near Adi and said something in Adi's ears, and Adi smiled brightly, Geet was looking at them both puzzled, not knowing what's going on.
As the bus haven't started even as they all got in. Maan came near the bus and saw Geet, Meera and Adi standing on the steps.
"Adi what's going on, what happened," Maan asked, "sir, that... we don't have any seat for Meera and Geet," Adi said.
"what?" Maan asked, "Sir, the bus has 45 seats and we are 47, that's what happened, I can just adjust a place for one more person as I can sit with the driver in the front, but anyways one more person has to be adjusted, that's what I am seeing how is it possible."
"Adi, you must have checked it before even, not at the last moment," Maan yelled making Adi sacred.
"Sir, please, we will adjust somehow, please don't get angry on Adi Sir," Geet pleaded, Maan looked at her, who was looking at him, with a pleading look.
Maan nodded once and looked at Adi, "ok, Meera, Geet you both can come with me in my car," Maan said.
"Sir, I want to come with everyone else, so I will come in the bus even, but Geet can come with you," Meera said, and Geet looked at her shocked and nodded a no. No way going with Maan alone after all the conversations they had yesterday,
"Ok, Geet, come," Maan said and went away. "Geet, Go," Meera pushed her down, Geet looked at Meera, "Meera what if Maan sir asks something like yesterday," Geet asked terrified.
"If he asks something like that, then say what you are think." Meera said and Geet shook a no, "Geet, whatever now, just go" Meera urged.
And Geet stepped down and after a few minutes the bus was gone, Leaving Geet, Maan and his Car alone.
Geet went near the car, and found that the driver was gone, Geet was feeling an unknown nervousness, she was shivering high, Maan came near her and opened the front door and she stared at him, "Geet I can't stand here holding this door forever, now sit inside," Maan said aloud, making Geet to sit inside immediately.
Maan then took the driving seat, Geet was feeling so nervous and she was trembling high, "Geet put your seat belt," Maan reminded her.
Geet took the belt and was trying to wear it but her hands were trembling and shaking, Maan looked at her and caught her hand, Geet looked at him shocked, he slowly took her hand away and Maan put her seat belt for her, and started driving.
