Vikrant was quite disturbed from yesterday night... he wasn't sure what should be his reaction... inorder to avoid any unwanted encounters he escaped on the pretext of work n interviews which were being held... Though the interview didn't require his presence but to keep him occupied he didn't get any better way...
His whole office was of centralised Ac but the uneasy feeling he couldn't let it leave him... he was more thinking about what would have been happening at home... would the issue settle down till tonight or there's more to come...
And most importantly if anything was bothering was his brother's... before he could process his thoughts he was disturbed by a very familiar greeting
Great day pep!!
Geet Handa!
Who else would address interviewers so informally... she even greeted her professors same way... Her eyes almost came out of sockets seeing him sitting in the panel... n soon enough her excitement turned in to pain n she composed herself even more quickly
If she would give an interview he knew there wouldn't be anyone who wouldn't hire her!!
Who knew her better... she had been his classmate n competitor at the same time... they had their typical fights of scores n grades throughout their collage days n he also stood with the crowd as one of the witnesses of what happened to her...
When his staff had a small discussion regarding her file he knew she was hired though she tried to avoid looking at him... he very well know her... seeing him where her thoughts were... n he didn't want that at least in his presence
Excuse me miss Handa! If you are done day dreaming I have a few questions. ..
Glaring at him she gave him a u bet u would look... n he smirked in response. ..
The interview ended n all the shortlisted candidates from each department were called in for a briefing...
He was busy looking into the file that he didn't notice every one was already present ...
It was a huge cabin mostly done in olive green n white It did have a classy look but was more lively due to the indoor plants...
Going through the list of shortlisted candidates he smiled looking at her name... she did made it ... N few names down his smile froze... there was the name
Maan Khurana. ..( finance department)
His head shot up in his direction while maan was lost admiring his little brother n his achievements while Vicky he felt a pinch in his heart!
His brother was standing among the new interns where as he was sitting in his chair which was rightfully his... but looking at others presence he held back himself n briefly explained what would be expected from them n dismissed the meeting!!
When the sun did cool down a bit the heat was still left in the air... life can be cruel but to the brighter side of it it helps one emerge stronger... the three of them who were still under the same building couldn't comprehend where their life was leading them... poring out her grief which she tactfully hid from every one she wiped her tears n now spoilt makeup... redoing everything she made her way out of the building where Maan was waiting for a taxi. .. she purposely slipped in front of him so that he would help her... n when he did she tried to blush which he ignored n went away chiding her to look while walking!!
Looking at the disappearing taxi n the girl precisely Geet handa walking towards her car from the huge window of his cabin he laughed hard imaging her expressions when his bhai ignored her... n soon his laughter died with all the past n current situation getting jumbled up...
He immediately picked up his phone n informed all the happenings of office today!!
By the time he reached home it was quite late in the evening n everyone was waiting for him... he was calm today as for the first time he did what his dad wanted. ..
Walking towards his dad he handed him his appointment letter. .. instead of appreciation he only saw anger in his eyes. ..
Maan ye... what is all this nonsense beta... that is ur own company what was the need for that interview n stuff
What will we answer if anyone questions us that we are discriminating between our own children
Maa stop it... what discrimination n all I n vikrant know that there's nothing like that n dad was the one who asked me to join the office right!!
Now what!!... defeated n worn out he slumped down on the chair holding his head in his hands. ..
Later in the night... when the silence was about to spread its wings...
A disturbed father couldn't sleep a wink tossing n turning he finally gave up... n went out pulling the album which he would always keep beside his bed... he would fill his heart looking at those pictures of his sons growing up happily when ever he used to miss Maan this was the only thing which gave him peace
Jaya wo I think this is better for maan too...
Hmmm... I was thinking about Vicky would he like all this. ..
It's tough for him but he is stronger than his elder brother
Jaya maan was looking so pale... he didn't eat anything from yesterday go feed him something. ..
N let me bringing something for his father too
Smiling she left to the kitchen make sure her family didn't go to bed empty stomach for another night...
What's life with out unexpected twists... 😊
To be continued...
