CHAPTER 1
ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any royal titles, Punjabi terms, architectural terms, IT terms & programs, office hierachy, wedding rituals, etc. are from my imagination hence THEY ARE NOT TRUE. PLEASE DON'T BASH ME !!!!!
ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHS DOWNLOADED DO NOT BELONG TO ME BUT BELONG TO THE ORIGINAL UPLOADER. I HAVE JUST USED THEM AS THEY GO WITH MY STORY! PLEASE DON'T BASH ME !!!
LOCATION: KHURANA CONSTRUCTIONS (KC)
"Where is Geet?" RK asked.
"Sir she has still not arrived neither has Pinky!" Adi replied.
"That is unusual? She is one of the first to arrive in the office! Today its also Maan's first day in office!"
Just then a girl dressed in pure white salwaar kurta with emotionless pale face and haphazardly braided hair walked in with Pinky supporting her. Her swaggering walk was giving an indication of her being drugged or being weak! She would have fallen if Pinky was not supporting her!
Concerned RK ran to her, "Geet beta! Kya hua? Apne Baba ko nahi bataayegi?" (Geet,what happened? Won't tell your Baba?)
Pinky narrated the last night incident to RK as rest of the office stood as by standers!"Geet, I'm sanctioning you a 10 days leave."
"RK Sir, what about Maan Sir? Geet is suppose to be his secretary! She is not even properly dressed for meeting him, just looking like a low class behenji!" Sasha commented in a condascending voice.
"Ms. Sasha, I know you don't have much intellect but I had thought that you were at least a humane person! But I guess I was wrong! Do you even know what it feels like to loose loved ones? I guess not!"
Girl named Geet finally came to her senses and spoke, "No Sir! Sasha Ma'am is right! I'm fine and as Mr. Maan Singh Khurana, our new MD is joining office today, I should be present here and dressed properly to welcome him!"
Pinky got a cup of tea and biscuits for Geet and under RK's insistence and supervision forced her to eat something. Geet had just finished eating when Adi came and said, "RK Sir, Maan Sir has arrived."
"Adi gather the whole management and staff in the Khurana Auditorium (KA)! Geet beta, you come when you are feeling better!"
Maan walked in his formal attire with his MSK attitude.
RK gave Maan a fatherly hug and walked up to the dias and spoke into the mic, introducing Maan to the management & staff saying,"My dear KC Management and Staff, it gives me great pride in introducing to you all MY SON and the NEW MANAGING DIRECTOR (MD) OF KHURANA CONSTRUCTIONS, MR. MAAN SINGH KHURANA! I hope you all will give him same support as you have given me! Thank you!"
Geet had come to the auditorium after freshening up and correcting her dress. She was standing at back hearing her "Baba's" speech. Tea and biscuits had given her some energy.
Next Maan took the mic. Geet was too involved in her personal grief to notice her dashing, handsome and heart-throb of a boss, Mr. Maan Singh Khurana but did try to pay attention to his words. "Dear Management and Staff of KC, I'm very happy and honored to be given the prestigious designation of MD of KC. I will try and see that We can raise the name and prestiage of KC and Khurana Industries. I'm a man of strict rules and regulations who refuses to bend them for anyone or anything! I do not like laziness and gossips and will not tolerate it. During the work hours, I expect work and not whiling away the time in idle chiller-chatter and gossip! I do not like people who carry tales! I'm very strict about the way of dressing for both men and women in the office as it should be smart and professional not gawdy and body revealing! I have an extremely violent and unforgiving temper which many of you may witness in near future! I hope to enjoy working in KC. Thank you!" The audience was stunned into silence with a short, truthful and direct speech. Geet was the first one who started clapping followed by the rest of the audience.
Geet walked to her cabin and started getting files in order for new MD to check. When RK walked in with Maan he found Geet bent over some files. "Geet beta, aao mai tumhei, tumhare naye boss se milata hoon. Maan yeh hai tumhari personal secretary Ms. Geetika Singh. Isko iss office ke baare mei sab patta hai. Geet KC mei pechle do saal se kaam kar rahi hai! Yeh sirf aadhe din ke liye i.e. part-time aati hai kyunki subah yaa dopahar yeh college jaati hai. Geet yeh hain Mr. Maan Singh Khurana."(Geet, I introduced you to your new boss. Maan this is Ms. Geetika Singh, you personal secretary. She is aware of everything that happens in KC. But she works only as part-time as she goes to college. Geet this is Mr. Maan Singh Khurana.)
(Imagine Geet in White Patiala Salwaar suit)
"RK Sir inhe kaun nahi jaanta? Apne class ke topper aur Shekhawat Construction ke 'Dream World' ke architect. Good morning Sir!" Geet respectfully folded her hands! (RK Sir, everyone know him. He is topper of his batch and the main architect of Shekhawat Construction's 'Dream World' project. Good morning Sir!)
"Good morning Ms. Singh!" Maan wished. Maan who was mesmerised for few seconds by the natural beauty standing in front of him. She had no make up on and was wearing modest salwaar kurta. But Maan was still getting pulled towards her. What attracted him most was the vacant look with intense pain in her doe-like hazel eyes! He wanted to remove that vacant look and intense pain from those beautiful eyes.
"Chalo Maan, abb baaki management se kal milna." RK said walking out. (Alright Maan! Now meet the remaining of management team tomorrow.)
"Kal nahi mujhe aaj milna hai! Ms. Singh call a meeting of all Head of the Departments (HOD) in half an hour with their current projects!" (Not tomorrow but today! Ms. Singh call a meeting of all Head of the Departments (HOD) in half an hour with their current projects!)
"Yes sir!" Geet replied getting to work.
RK left unnoticed by Maan and Geet. RK nodded his head in helplessness at his workaholic son. Half an hour later, all HODs were gathered in Conference Room and Geet was quitely taking down the notes. Sasha was not in the meeting causing her intense heart burn from Geet. After about two hours when a satisfied MSK and exhausted HODs left the Conference Room, Sasha caught hold of Geet and started lashing her verbally in middle of office corridor, "What did you think behanji that you will get close to MSK by not including me? You LS woman, I don't know what RK Sir and Savitri Ma'am see in you that they let a novice and poorly dressed girl work in renowed and prestigious KC. I wish I could...!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" A loud thundering voice was heard and when the two girls turned and saw MSK was standing there in his full glory with Adi.
"Ms. Sasha, you wanted to meet me, fine please come to my cabin now! Adi bring her personal file. Ms. Singh, can I get a cup of black coffee?" subdued Sasha followed MSK, Adi left with a side smirk and Geet left to bring MSK's coffee.
LOCATION: KHURANA MANSION (KM)
RK had just walked in KM tired. It was evening and hence his mother Savitri Devi asked, "Ranjit beta, chai peeoge?" RK nodded in negative looking sad and depressed. (Ranjit will you have tea?)
"Tum itna dukhi kyun ho, beta? Geet kahaan hai? Woh kyun nahi aayi?" (Why are you so upset? Where is Geet? Why hasn't she come?)
"Woh itni jaldi kaisse aayegi? Abb toh aap ka pota usse aur poore office se aaj hi ek hafta ka kaam karaayega! Aap toh Maan ko jaanti hain!" (How will she come so early? Now your grandson will make her and the office do a week's work in a day! You know Maan's working style.)
"Yeh humare sawaal ka jawaab nahi hai. Tum itna dukhi kyun ho?" RK narrated to his mother all what Pinky had narrated to him about Geet and her family. (That doesn't answer my question! Why are you so sad?) "KYA? Geet ka poora parivaar chala gayaa aur tum ne usse waheen rekne diya? Usse ghar le aate!" (WHAT? Geet's whole family has gone and you let her stay there. Why didn't you bring her home?)
"Maine poocha tha Maa, magar usne kahaa ki woh kuch din Pinky he saath rehegi. Aur waise bhi jitni swabhimaani woh hai, woh yahaan kabhi nahi aayegi! Kyunki naa toh woh Khurana Khandaan ki aur naa hi apni izzat par aanch aane degi! Jitna asoolon ka pakka Maan hai waisi hi Geet bhi hai!"(I had asked her Maa, but she said that she she will spent few days at Pinky's. Anyway, she is an extremely self respecting girl who will never come here. Because she will not want either Khurana family or her character questioned by society. Just like Maan is a man of principles so is she!)
MSK had just put his foot inside main door of KM when he heard this conversation going on between his father and grandmother.
