"Ma'am..The HOD wants to meet Ms.Geet Handa ", the clerk informed the lecturer..
"Geet..The HOD wants to meet you"
Geet gets up, with a puzzled look on her face.. "Why will the HOD want to meet me?".. She then walks to her room to see a handsome young man, sitting across the HOD.
"Excuse me Ma'am.. Did you want to meet me?"
And, the handsome young man turned to look at the beautiful girl, Geet..
"Yeah Geet come in. This here, is Mr Maan Singh Khurana and he owns Khurana Fashions.. He is a good friend and has helped us a lot with his donations. We were discussing about how the performance of the students are and he wants to offer an internship for the topper in the batch, for gaining some hands-on experience in looking into the financial aspects in the fashion designing industry.. Will you be interested?"
Geet was surprised..It was MAAN SINGH KHURANA! She always looked upto him and his achievements at such a young age.The MD of Khurana fashions is here to offer an internship? Woah!
Here she was, pursuing MBA, just like her parents wanted her to. She has been dreaming of being a fashion designer ever since high school but her parents wanted her to have a degree in Bcom/MBA , before she could follow her passion, just in case that didn't turn out fine.
"Geet?"
"Uh..yes maam of course !"..she then turns to see her idol and says " Thank you very much Mr Khurana"
Maan smiles at that and asks the HOD if Geet could show him the new wing in the college , that was under construction the last time he came to visit, so that he could also explain to her the nature of work.. The HOD agreed and Geet followed Maan outside..
When he was sure that no one was around, he pulled her inside an empty classroom.. Geet was confused ..'Whats he doing?'
"Sir?"
"Shh Geet. Don't talk for sometime and just hear me out Okay ?"
The still confused Geet just nodded.
"Okay um I don't know from where to begin..well.. it started a few months back, when I first met you in a park..
I had come there for my early morning walk and I happened to see the most beautiful girl , I have ever set my eyes on- aka You.. You were sitting on a bench, reading some novel.. I couldn't take my eyes off you but sadly, you left in sometime.. After that, I made it a point to come to the park around the same time daily, just to get a glimpse of you..One day you bought few kids , icecream.. another day I saw you were seriously drawing something and the next day you were sewing buttons in some cloth..That cloth was converted into a cute little frock which you gave to a small girl living close to the park.. I loved how you had the mentality to help everyone and also your creative side..You always carried a book with you in which I saw that you drew/ wrote something..fortunately for me,on a windy morning some papers flew around.. you tried your best to get all but one flew towards me and I looked at one of the most beautiful designs that I had ever seen, with the perfect colour combination and trust me when I say that I sensed some tough competition there 😆..you had scribbled your name there..
I was eager to know more about you and wanted to find out for myself.. I am sorry that I nearly stalked you but I fell for you and I wanted to talk to you asap.. I got to know that you were a student from this college and so asked one of my friends to get to know about your department.. I was informed that you were the topper and thanks to the principal being my friend, I thought I will meet you under the pretext of offering you an internship..I know this is all coming as a shock to you but believe me I had only good intention in mind..But now that I have finally met you, it was all worth it".😊
Geet's jaw dropped when she heard his little speech..Maan Singh Khurana, the king of the fashion world, has been following her/admiring her or whatever , for the past few months ?! And this internship thing was a reason to meet her and also offer her something that she loved to do!! Design for THE Khurana fashions! Oh My God !!
"Geet..I am sorry ..but I really like you and I also want you to explore your creativity more..Forgive me if.."
"Sir!"
"Call me Maan"
"Maan Sir"
"Maan"
"M..Maan"
She blushed and he grinned.."Perfect"
"Listen Sir.. I mean Maan..Please do not apologise! I am a fan of your work and you have been my idol for a long time.. I have always loved this field but my parents wanted me to have a degree before I followed my passion and so I am doing this now.. I still can't believe you did all that..Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined YOU telling me something like this..It will take some time to sink in I guess.. you have done me a great favour by offering me an internship in something I love..Thankyou so much..I have no idea how I will repay you for this!!"
"I might have an idea",Maan says and winks..
Geet blushes.."Whats it?"
"Will you go on a date with me ?"😳
And if you hear that from someone you have liked forever , and who made this all seem like a dream..what would your reply have been ? "Yes.. Yes ofcourse!" .. and that's exactly what our darling Geet told Maan.They shared an eyelock and "Maahiii" happened 😃
