CHAPTER 4
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 !!!
"Please don't be alarmed Ms. Singh, I need to talk to you on a very private and confidential matter and don't want those busybodies, Sasha and Tasha or anyone else eavesdropping!" Maan said then paused. Controlling his emotions he continued. "Geet, Dadimaa has had a heart attack last night and I'm the cause for it!"
"WHAT?" Geet panicked and was about to leave when Maan's voice stopped her. "Agar meri Dadimaa ko kuch hua toh mai apne aap ko kabhi maaf nahi kar paonga!" Maan said in a broken voice. (If anything happened to my grandmother, I will never be able to forgive myself!)
"Sir calm down! Dadimaa ko kuch nahi hoga! Chaliye hospital chalte hain!" Geet tried to calm Maan down. (Calm down! Nothing will happen to Dadimaa, lets go to hospital!)
"Ms. Singh, can I call you Geet?" When Geet nodded in affirmative, Maan continued, "GEET, DADIMAA WANTS ME TO GET MARRIED!" Hearing these words, Geet's dropped in the chair she had just vacated with her heart shattered and any lingering hope that she had destroyed! Unaware of Geet's emotional state Maan kept talking, "But, I don't believe in institution of marriage and hence, don't want to get married. I just want someone to act as my wife for six months till Dadimaa is better and then part our ways!"
Controlling her emotions, Geet answered in an icy professional tone, "So what is the problem Sir? You can ask Ms. Sameera to pose as your wife as she is your very close friend."
"How do you know about Sameera? "
"Through newspapers!"
"Don't believe everything you read in newspapers, Ms. Singh! Sameera is my best friend's wife. Anyway, I need someone who is discreet but can make my Dadimaa emotionally relax so that she can recover soon as well as Dad can also relax! What do you think?"
"Sir, I'm sorry, I don't agree to your plan as you will be decieving both your Dadimaa and RK sir! The people who love you dearly! Why don't you talk to her and reason with her?"
"I have tried believe me. For past two months I have been trying to reason with her but she just refuses to listen and lately had got so stressed over my wedding issue that last night's arguement lead in her heart attack! Anyway, do you have any other good alternative plan?"
"No Sir!"
"Then I suggest we go with this plan!"
"Sir, how long do I have to look for suitable candidates?"
"No time at all! I have to present my wife in front of my family by tonight!"
"TONIGHT!! But sir, how can I get someone so soon to pose as your wife?"
"NOT SOMEONE BUT YOU! I WANT YOU TO DO A CONTRACT MARRIAGE WITH ME FOR SIX MONTHS AND THEN DIVORCE ME AFTER SIX MONTHS! You will get four times your current salary for this work!"
"NEVER! Sir everything cannot be bought! I refuse to betray people who gave me love, shelter and support." Agitated Geet stood up saying in a disgusted and angry voice.
"Geet you are unnecessarily getting hyper! Its just a plan to make my weak and sick Dadimaa happy and healthy!"
"By lying to her? Sorry Sir, I don't agree with you. Please excuse me, I have errands to attend!"
"Geet you are unnecessarily becoming emotional and aggressive!"
"Maybe I am because I realise the value of family and what it is to loose them!" Geet ran crying out of the cabin (which Maan had unlocked seeing Geet getting restless and hyper!)
Maan was stunned seeing Geet for first time being so emotional and vulnerable making him want to calm her, cuddle her, kiss her and take her pain away! Maan did not understand why he felt a twinge in his heart so see Geet's tears! Maan was still not aware that he was halfway in love with Geet!
Geet rushed into washroom and poured out her heart in form of tears. Finally when she was calm she freshened up and came out of the washroom and went to her cabin. Unknown to her Maan was very worried and was seaching for her frantically when Tasha said that she had seen Geet going to wash room!
Through the blinds in his cabin he kept glancing at Geet's cabin till he saw a pale faced Geet had return and started working. Maan had an unblocked view of His Geet (Yes Maan's heart considered Geet as his even though his brain did not!) till Romeo entered her cabin blocking Maan's view of Geet. Maan was all set to go to Geet's cabin and yell at Romeo when Adi walked in along with other HODs for a meeting! Rest of the day passed as usual. Around 6:00pm, when Maan returned from his last meeting for the day, Geet had left for the day much to Maan's disappointment.
Geet had left office early and went to see Dadimaa. On reaching the Hospital's Cardiac ICU, she met RK strolling outside Savitri Devi's room. She bent and took his blessings! On RK's request she was allowed to see Savitri Devi as according to hospital rules no visitor could visit Cardiac ICU. Geet was distressed to see her beloved Dadimaa lying on the bed surrounded by different bleeping machines, wires and tubes! Geet came out of the ICU deep in thought. Two pair of eyes noticed her arrival to and departure from ICU. One pair of eyes were familiar and one pair were unfamiliar. Maan had just come to hospital and saw Geet exiting the ICU, surprising Maan at her concern and care.
"Geet beta, abb tum ghar jaao bahut der ho gayi hai!" (Geet now you go home as its getting late!)
"Magar Sir...(seeing RK's glare) Baba, aap akele sab kaise sambhalenge?" (But Sir...(seeing RK's glare) Baba how will you handle everything?)
"Tum chinta matt karo Maan aur Vicky aate honge!" (You don't worry! Maan and Vicky will be arriving shortly!)
"Theek hai! Woh jab aayenge mai chali jaaongi!" (Ok! Once they are here I will leave.)
Just then Maan walked in, "Ms. Singh, you can leave I'm here. I'll ask Shyamlal to drop you!" Seeing Maan there, RK decided to go and freshen up.
"No Sir! I'll take a taxi back besides I need to talk to you in privacy sir!"
Maan took Geet to "Platinum Suite" which was a classy and secluded area meant for family of effluent patients.
