Part 4
The girl continued to laugh and said " I am laughing listening to the list of the mane you find out...must say you are using MSK's brain.."
Maan's temper rose at her words" I did a lot of work to find these names and you are laughing at it..."
The girl replied " But none of those names belong to me..."
Maan's face drained a bit hearing her, with frustration he asked"What is your name...?"
" I told you my name is traditional Indian name...think of more...or are you just ready to loose" the girl threatened.
Maan seriously thought of some other names...

Maan frustrated with her started saying...
Goldy, Goril, Griva,Greta, Gurti,Gemini...Gucci, Gloria, Godzilla, Gorilla, Gundy...
Nope, I know you are frustrated..but those are not my names...the girl replied back laughing hysterically...Adi was looking at Maan as if a psychologically ill patient
Maan did not listen to any of her words but her musical laughter which actually striked his cords...murmured
" Girl with musical laugh"
The girl flinched a bit hearing Maan and questioned " What did you just say?"
"Nothing" Maan countered back
"By the way none of those names are mine... I think you lost it...Maan Singh Khurana lost the bet...yayyy..." shouted the girl...
No way MSK never looses...
Really...
Yes, you were the first person who dared to play games with me and don't you dare to do that.....Maan counteracted angrily...
He did not receive any reply from other side instead the phone got disconnected.
Having no other way, Maan kept the receiver back in place and then Maan heard his door knock...He signaled Adi to open the door...Adi giggled looking at him and went to open the door only to see the receptionist . She came inside and said" Sir the candidates for interview are waiting for the results..."
Adi looked at Maan, who was seriously looking at the papers...
Maan " Here you go...she is the one who has wrote maximum names...tell her she will receive the appointment letter by post and along with the joining date..."
The receptionist took the paper and left to inform the same to the candidates...
Adi was looking at Maan controlling his laugh,,and said " Did any of the names were correct?"
"No...she disconnected the phone..and I even don't know from where she is calling"Maan responded annoyingly ...
Inwardly Maan thought" Is the girl angry? Was I rude with girl? "this was eating his brain...
Not wanting to make him angry, Adi did not say but was ready to burst if Maan is not present...they did not receive the call again from the girl...the day passed smoothly then, but Maan was still thinking of the girl...two days passed, Maan did not remember the girl but some where in his conscious still remembers the girl...
It was New Years eve...
In Khurana Constructions...the lunch time just finished, and every one were back to work, so that they could finish and leave the office by 5 PM, and then they could party and welcome the New Year...Adi was sitting in Maan's cabin, they discussing about some deal, when the telephone rang...this time it was Adi who lifted the call, while Maan just looked on ......
Hello, Khurana Constructions...
He heard, "Can I speak to Sweety...oh sorry...Maan Singh Khurana?"
Adi eyes popped out of his socket, and looked at Maan with an open mouth...while the girl laughed when she did not get any reply...Maan looked at adi and grabbed the phone,without waiting for her to speak and said" Oh...I am sorry..."Adi got another shock...How come in this world MSK and Sorry are going together...
"Why sorry" the girl asked...
" For saying rude words to you.." Maan responded back....
" I understand you, It is human nature of paranoid psychology where the person interprets the actions of others to be demeaning and threatening...For example, you received my letter and greeting cards, you may have interpreted who in the world actually dared to do this...i could have easily ignored you after reading your interview in the newspaper...what are intentions? who am I? you would get such doubts...all this is happening, it is just because, that you received all these from a girl..." the girl answered back...
" I did not mean that..."Maan defended himself...
" If you did not mean it, is it the person beside you on that day who was giving you some papers and mumbling something" the girl counteracted...Maan flabbergasted hearing her and looked at Adi with angry eyes...Adi did not understand, why Maan is looking at him like this and he shrugged his shoulders
"What did I do?"
"How did you know that there was some other person along with me..."Maan interrogated...
" You know you are just behaving as if you are lawyer grilling a criminal" the girl remarked...
"What"this made Maan pout...
The girl replied " Dont be shocked, any one who would be talking to you can say that, I could hear some crumbling of papers and the person was snarling..."
Maan was floored by the intelligence of the girl...
"ok...ok...Once again I am sorry"Maan apologized sincerely..
" Its ok...leave it" The girl replied back and was about to continue...Maan interrupted "I want to meet you"...hearing the musical laugh again...he said" Musical Girl"
Hearing this, girl cramped a bit " Musical Girl? What is it I am hearing this for the second time.." she enquired...
" Yes, Your laugh is just like music to my ears...its like a song to my ears...I don't know what would happen when i hear you speak in front of me...I want to meet you please..."Maan pleaded...
Listening Maan, Adi had literally fallen from his chair...
Not hearing from the girl...Maan said " Hello...Hellooo"
Yes...Yes...I am here...Ok I will give you another chance...If you solve a puzzle...You will get a chance to welcome Newyear with me...
Hearing this Maan enthusiastically replied back...ok...What is the puzzle?
"You have to find the telephone number from where I a talking within 10 minutes from the hints I give you...Its a public booth...If you did not call within the time, I will leave...and you had to celebrate yourself all alone...you can take the help of your assistant..." She giggled
Maan lost all the enthusiasm and said"Why all sort of these puzzles, you can meet me directly"he questioned...
"I should know weather you are intelligent or not" the girl joked...
"Okk...What is it?" Maan said offeneded
" It is a seven digit number omitting the universal code in the country...the 2nd digit is twice the 1st digit,
the 3rd digit is thrice the 2nd digit,
the difference between 3rd and 4th digit is 8,
5th digit is the product of 4th digit and 2,
6th digit is double the 5th digit
7th digit is same as 6th digit..."
(Courtesy...novel i have read, with minor changes in the number, do give some exercise to your brain gives...i am wiating for your answers, I will reveal the name of the novel in last part)..
Then the phone got disconnected, Maan took the paper and started to work on the puzzle, immediately...
Continued in Next part...
