Part 2
Geet entered in her cabin. She didn't know if what she did was right or wrong. All she knew was that she had to save herself from getting married to the man her father had chosen. So she had blurted out her boss Maan Singh Khurana's name in her nervousness, and ended up telling her father that she is in love with him. Well not really. It was actually all a big confusion on her father's part and mistake on hers.
Her father, Sameer Handa is a Don, cold blooded murderer, kidnapper and a smugler. He is fearless and knows how to get his things done. But she was also his daughter and was as fearless as him. Only problem was she wasn't powerful or cunning like him. She believed living a life in a simple and peaceful way.
Her thoughts went back to last night.
Geet and her father were having their dinner together silently when suddenly he spoke shocking her, "I have fixed your wedding with my best friend's son, Vivaan Singhania"
She stopped eating and looked at her father with wide eyes and asked angrily, "You fixed my wedding with that criminal's son? You dint even bothered to ask me my opinion? If I'm ready for a marriage or want to get married in that criminal's house?"
Her father replied in the same tone as hers, "I don't need to take your permission to decide anything for you. You are my daughter remember that. You will have to get married to whoever I ask you to without raising any questions at me. And what is so wrong with Vivaan? He is handsome, eligible bachelor, rich, powerful, influential, successful and will keep you happy. Most importantly he will keep you safe. I only mean to secure your future and nothing else. Don't forget his father is criminal not him"
Listening to that made her to laugh out loud and her father looked at her angrily and seemingly confused. Geet spoke, "You want to marry me in that criminal's house and you think by doing this you are securing my future? You want me to live all my life fearing that one day my husband might be killed because of his father's deeds? The whole world might take you as a Businessman Sameer Handa and your best friend Rudra Singhania as your business partner. But I know what goes inside all of your companies and factories. The reason I'm not working for your company and working in Khurana Enterprise as a mere employee. The reason why I have till now never revealed to any of my friends my real identity. That I belong to such a rich family cos I wanted to live a simple and lead a normal life away from your bloodshed world. I don't want to be tagged as a criminal's daughter in future if for god forbid your real business is been revealed out to the world. So please if you want to strengthen your friendship with your best friend by marrying me to Rudra Singhania's son further getting into a relationship then I'm sorry. Vivaan might be a good man and all but I refuse to marry him and endanger my life and future"
Her father was looking at her calmly, devoid of any expressions on his face when he opened his mouth making her frown, "Finished speaking? Or you have anything else to say?"
When she still kept quite he continued but in a soft voice, "Now listen to me very carefully. I do not care what you think or what you desire. All I care is to marry you off to Vivaan so that I do not have to worry about your safety or future after me. Yes, I know I'm a Don and a criminal. But I do love you and care for you baby girl. Vivaan is not a criminal like his father and he will keep you happy. Trust me for once please."
Geet din't knew what she should say seeing her father looking at her with love and maybe some fear in his eyes for the very first time. Yes, she knew that her father loved her like anything. He can do anything for her and her happiness. He can kill anyone for her but he can die as well. She was his only family after her mother left them and married another man. Because one day her mother suddenly realized how dangerous it was to live with a Don when they were attacked by his rivals and asked for a divorce without bothering about her one and half year old daughter. Since then her father made her his life and made sure to give her whatever she desired to keep her happy, protected and most importantly away from his cruel world. Her father gave her all the freedom she wanted and never really interfered in her life or her decisions. He let her study and work outside their own company without asking any questions. Probably because he wanted to keep her away from his world and business. But that does not mean he had the right to marry her off just to keep her safe and to stop worrying about her life. Hardly any people knew her father's name or that she is blood related to Sameer Handa. Though she was always been followed by bodyguards from a safe distance in casuals whose faces she herself never saw. But she always felt eyes on her whereever she went. So she decided that she had to stop this madness of her father and free him from worrying about her by saying she is already in love with someone. Yeah, that will be a good idea and her father wont force her to marry that Vivaan.
Thinking about all this she blurted out without contemplating about future, "But how can you marry me when I'm already in love with someone Daddy?"
Suddenly the softened eyes of her father turned blank and he asked sternly, "In love? With whom? From when? And why wasnt I told before?"
This time it was Geet's time to be speechless and the smile on her face froze. Her father spoke again demanding an answer, "I'm asking you something Geet. Answer me"
Geet fumbled, "Uh, woh, Dad... I.. Wohh..."
He was losing his patience with her now and asked anxiously, "Stop fumbling and answer me damnit"
Seeing her father's red angry eyes Geet din't know what to say and just then she saw her boss calling her and his name came on her lips, "Maan Singh Khurana"
Next she heard her father screamed, "What? Maan Singh Khurana? You mean your boss Maan Singh Khurana? When did this happened? From when are you seeing him? I want every details NOW"
And that is when she realize what damage she has done in her nervousness. She has dragged her boss, THE Maan Singh Khurana in this whole mess.
Geet came back to present hearing a knock on her cabin door. Pinky asked her to join her to canteen since it was lunch time and replying to her that she would directly join her in 5 minutes Pinky left her cabin.
Geet perfectly remembered how she had tried to correct herself for her mistake but her father had been too happy with the news to listen to anything. He had asked for details of her supposed love story. How and when it started? And why she dint tell him before? And many more such questions were thrown her way.
She remembered what lies she had to tell her father about her so called non existent love story, listening to which her father immediately asked her to fix his meeting with her boyfriend the very next day itself. He was just too happy to know that she had chosen such a gem of a person for herself. After all, who wouldn't know MSK? Each and everyone from the business world were aware about him and his family. He not only belonged to a rich family and was successful and has made a name for himself which would secure her so called future, but he was also a family person and a decent responsible man. Never had his name being taken for any wrong reasons. Media still tries to look for a single fault in his business or his own personal life and character but they have tasted only failure every time they tried their level best to find some spicy and juicy gossip of his life. Geet shook her head to come out of these thoughts. She can't change that. She can only pray that her boss Maan Singh Khurana agrees to help her and pretend to be her lover.
She came out of her cabin wondering what her boss might be thinking and going through after revealing about the mess she has landed herself in along with her boss, she walked towards the canteen.
****
I really don't know how this came out. Still tried something of my own. I know it's very silly, common and just a filler but thought of giving the past and how she landed herself in this whole mess.
Oh btw since this is the first time Ive tried my hand at writing something. Do ignore the grammar and mistakes. Cos I'm still quite nervous while posting this and don't know how it came out.
Want to Thank a bunch to Tanya for coming up with this idea giving me a way to try my hand in writing something. She has also encouraged me a LOT before posting this with her sweet and kind words which gave me some confidence to post this here.
Also want to thank my other friend Samaria.
