Maan was back and to avoid the tensed environment in house against him he preferred to leave for office. Anyways all were busy in their respective work while only happy thing was his sister who had gone back to London was here in her vacation.
"Bhai you don't have time for me" "Mehak, I am so happy to see you. I have some important issues to look into today and at night my all time is your"
Mehak gave a big hug to Maan.
Maan had tons to catch up today and so giving just brief SMS to Geet of his arrival he got busy in his day's schedule.
Geet looked at herself in mirror. She wore a layered long skirt with very small bells here and there and a matching sleevles top. It was Maan's selection for her.
"I hope I am looking descent for Chote Thakur's office. Today, in any case I need to talk to him."
But internally she was dying to meet him, see him after a week.
Now Geet was standing infront of Geetanjali Enterprise. The building structure was huge and beautiful.
Sam with her ID card made Geet enter the premise and then got her a visitor card.
"Geet I have to go to different branch, I hope you will be fine now."
Geet nodded for yes but she was scared seeing the huge premise. It had big garden before the building starts and then beautifully done fountains and statues in the garden. Then there was parking area. Geet was lost "This is office of Chote Thakur and he owns it."
It was beyond Geet's imagination. It was natural for her to feel even smaller now. He was something, really something. Geet's determination became even stronger.
"Hello mam, are you looking for someone"
"Haan yes, Chote Tha" and then she hit her head
"woo, I need to meet Mr. Maan Singh Khurana"
The employee looked her up and down "you must be representative from some client. But I have heard Mr. Khurana does only meet with direct client"
"No, I am" "Anyways, you can talk in reception" and he showed her the way to reception.
When Geet entered the premise, she was awed by the elegance and beauty... Geet felt uncomfortable with the affluence- This was Chote Thakur's?? she wondered.
Yeah Sam wanted Geet to see real Maan Singh Khurana, what he is. She wanted Geet to know why she believed Geet was no Match for Maan. Sam believed herself to be true friend of Maan and she will od all in her power to make Maan and Geet realize the truth.
"Yes Mam" and her observation was interrupted
"Yeah, I need to meet Mr. Maan Singh Khurana" Geet looked too young to be a client but who knows thought receptionist Pinky Gupta
"Do you have any appointment" Geet had never thought of that
"No but.." "Mam, what's the purpose of the meeting, are you a client"
"No but I know him very well"
"Sorry Mam, but it's clear instruction from MD's office that Mr. Khurana be not disturbed due to any personal purpose, anyways how do you know him" the last question was due to curiousity.
Geet did not know what to do, how to explain and then so many question. Then something struk her mind, why is she even wasting this much time?
Maan was just out of a critical meeting on 10th floor when his cell buzzed. He checked to see Geet's name flashing and smile formed on his face
"Hmmm.. I am back, so definitely will come to you. In the evening OK" he said teasing her. If it was in his capacity, he would run and hug her tight.
"I am in your office; they are asking too many questions here" "What office? How? Ok wait there, I am coming."
Geet sat on the couch. "excuse me mam?" said receptionist pinky
"we will be answerable to MDs office." "You won't be, trust me. Give me few minutes"
And soon their MD was there nd all employees looked shocked to see him there. He never comes down at this level.
Maan just ignored all as his eyes were stuck on his Geetu. His eyes met her and he had biggest smile on his face.
He directly went to her and with hand signaled everyone to settle down in their seat.
One side Geet felt so happy and contented to see him after a week but on other side she felt she did wrong coming in this mega office of his, he may not like "Chote Thakur woo..."
"Shoo" Maan stopped her "let's go in my cabin." His smiles were not stopping. He had thought it was not right time to show her what he was but if destiny brought her here he definitely had no complains.
They came out of lift nd she was led inside his office. His office was classically done yet the interior were done with modern concept.
Geet was lost seeing how beautifully it was done "Do you like it" he said holding her hand in his, rubbing it wth his fingers, Geet's heart fluttered and belly churned.
Maan after seeing her was getting restless to crush her to his arms. He has waited long, now it was time for love to bloom. "yeas, its beautiful, its your office?"
"Whole building is mine but yes I sit here" he said with small laugh and pulled her to him.
"Chote Thakur" Geet shied, hundred currents passed thru her and she wanted to melt there and then but taking deep breath she slightly tried to pull herself
"Why? Don't you like this? " Maan truly didn't like her pulling herself away.
"It's not like that but" how will she say it's heaven to be near him like this. BUT
"Geet if you like it, I like it then just for the shake of these society rules, nothing will stop me, not even you."
He then lifted her face up to look at him "what do you see in my eyes Geet? Just trust me and listen to your heart" he said with plead.
Maan felt so helpless, he was dying to openly make her feel so much love, he wanted to shower all his love on her but she was pulling away.
Geet bowed down her head. She will not answer him but he could see her denial on the subject. Geet wanted to die because of the separation she made. How badly her heart was dying to feel what he was doing, dying to be close to him like anything.
He then dialed the number "One coffee, one tea and some snack in my office" he ordered. She was first time in his office.
Things were going on in her mind
"Chote Thakur, you are such a big person" he came and stood near her and trying to lighten the space "yes you are right, See my height is much more that yours and also elder to you in age"
And they both laughed. Then geet suddenly hugged him tight and Maan hugged her back.
"What happened" Geet nodded for No but somewhere today seeing his strength and power she got scared. He seemed so far away in everything from her, she got scared of loosing him even though she has come here to suggest him the same.
"Missed me? I missed you too. Geet" he shied "for once give your heart a wing, please baby please" He was literally begging her to listen to her heart. Geet definitely wanted to kill herself for making him plead this much but she did not say anything.
Tea and coffee arrived.
"So you wanted to give me a surprise, hmm. Who gave you the address?"
Geet hesitated; it was not for surprise she came but to explain him about their relation.
"Sam di dropped me here" "Sam? Wow."
"Chote Thakur, please try to understand what I am saying" Geet said, not knowing from where to start the convo.
Maan got confused look "What?"
"Chote Thakur, I always stay near you, we are always together and you are there always for me, this is why you feel you love me. Its just infatuation and I am sure once you stay far from me and spend time with other girls of your class you will fall in love with one of them and then you will know and realize it's our friendship and not love."
Maan kept looking at her for a while digesting everything she said and then clapped
"Good points and well delivered dialogue, but definitely not your words. I know you very well geet, Itnee badi nahi huee tum that you will speak such words. Whose words were these."
"Nahi chote Thakur, I feel so. And also your parents, so much expectation they have from you and just because of me"
"Who pocked your mind??" Maan asked little more sternly this time
"Please try to understand" "WHO IS IT I ASKED. ANSWER ME" Maan said loud and clear.
He knew how deeply Geet felt for him and how just like him even she will not be able to stay away from him, then just because of her thinking so low of her and society pressure he is not going to put both of them in endless pain.
Geet gulped her saliva seeing his angry face. "Woo sam di, but she was just explaining"
Maan raised his hand to stop her "Let's go. I will drop you at home and concentrate on your studies rather than taking your mind here and there." His angry body language just shut her and she quietly followed his lead.
All he has to do is to put her in such position that she and the society don't say or feel low of her. She have to feel high of her was his most priority.
Sam was there in home, Maan looked at her but did not say a word and left.Sma knew he was angry at her and this time his look showed it was a BIG one.
"I did what I felt right Maan. I am your friend and just wanting to show you the truth"
Maan did not say a word to her.
He then looked at Geet "and you, stop thinking about my marriage and your future. If you are serious about your future concentrate on your books."
Geet wanted to kill herself that very time, spoiling his mood and then loosing prescious time with him. He had come after a week and now he left angry.
Maan was in KM later:
"So, Mehak...when are you finally planning to come back"
"We will talk about me later Bhai. Bhai can I ask you a question. I heard of drama that happened and that you are in relationship with a girl"
"That girl is Geet, you remember you met her in Hoshiyaarpur, she worked in our havelli. And we are in no relationship Mehak. I love her, even she does but like this entire society people she thinks it's wrong."
"But why was so big fuss about it. I mean if you love her why is everyone against it. It's ur life, right?"
"Mehak, this is India not your London..."
"Bhai, if you say, should I talk to her? I mean I am of Geet's age, a girl, I can make her understand."
"No, not now, I don't want to drag you in this. But it's so nice to feel, there is atleast one person here who don't think so low of her. Even she thinks so low of herself, falling for me is a sin for her"
"what? Can anyone plan and fall in love bhai."
"use kaun samjhayee."
She was about to leave and then stopped "but bhai, don't ever hurt mom and dad. You are their pride."
Maan smiled and nodded for yes. Not knowing how will he balance everything? He only hoped they should not hurt Geet or else he cannot tolerate.
