CHAPTER 28
ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any royal titles, MEDICAL TERMS, MEDICAL PROCEDURES, MILITARY TERMS, MILITARY PROCEDURES, LEGAL TERMS, 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 !!!
Next morning when Maan and Geet got up they were in each other's arms. Maan woke up first and started cuddling to Geet and giving her gentle kisses and nibbling her ears nape, collar bone, pecking her lips, giving her butterfly kisses on her cheeks and was about to devour her lips when he felt her stirring. Before Geet could get up and get upset, Maan turned his back and pretended to sleep. Geet had woken up feeling something wispy and fluttery tickling her eyes, cheek, collarbone, ears and neck but when she woke up she found nothing. Seeing Maan sleeping with back turned towards her she thought aloud,"Shayad macchar hoga?" (Maybe it was a mosquito?) Then got up and went to wash room. Maan got up from the bed furious,"Mujhe macchar kaha. MACCHAR??? Abb mai tumhein dekhata hoon ki mai macchar hoon yaa sher?" (She called me a mosquito? MOSQUITO?? I will show whether I'm a mosquito or a tiger?)
Maan went and got ready in the washroom attached to the small room.
By the time Maan came out Geet was all ready and was going to apply sindoor when Maan took a pinch of sindoor and applied in her parting.
Then he took the mangalsutra lying on the dressing table and clasped it around her neck.
Geet closed her eyes for few minutes enjoying an essence of being a "suhaagan"
but then opened her eyes and said,"Kuch aisa matt shuru kijiyege jo aap nibhaa naa saken!" (Please don't start anything that you cannot fulfill.) Then Geet got up from the stool and said, "Yahaan kitchen kahaan hai?" (Where is the kitchen here?) Maan directed the way.
After Geet left Maan said, "Geet maine jo tumhara dil aur tumhari aas todhi hai woh main phirse jodongaa yeh mera vadaa hai." (Geet I have broken your heart and your hope. But I will definitely mend both.) Once Maan and Geet had breakfast they left for Khurana Construction Manali.
Location : KHURANA CONSTRUCTIONS, MANALI
Geet and Maan reached Khurana Construction and as expected it was totally deserted as they had reached before time. Maan showed Geet the cabin next door and said, "Geet yeh tumhara cabin hai. Hum do alag-alag cabin mein zarur beithe honge magar hum ek dusare ko dekh sakte hain." (Geet this is your cabin. We both will have seperate cabins but we will be able to see one another.) Maan showed glass partition between the two cabins. "Agar tumne yeh pardah kabhi bhi bandh kiya toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga!" (If you ever draw these curtains, you will see the worst of me.)
"Ji!" Geet nodded understandingly!
"Aaj mai sabke saamne apne rishte kaa elaan karoonga. Kya tumhein iss se koi problem hai?" (Today I will declare our relation in front of everyone. Do you have any problem?)
"Problem toh nahi hai! Magar, agar aap sabke saamne humara rishta battayenge toh KC, Delhi ke office ko patta chal jaayega, especially Sasha." (NO, I don't have any problem! But if you tell in front of everyone our relationship then gossip will reach KC, Delhi's office and Sasha will become aware.)
"Nahi patta chalegaa. Aur agar patta chal bhi gayaa toh mujhe faraq nahi padhta!" (No one will come to know. Even if they do come to know I don't care.)
"Magar mujhe faraq padhta hai. Iss liye mere khayaal se aap humare rishte ke baare mein kissi ko matt battaiye warna yahaan ka staff mujhse khulkar kaam nahi kar paayega. Kuch mahine baad hum batta sakte hain." (But it effects me. I suggest we postpone telling the staff for few months so that they accept me as their colleague and don't fear me.)
"Magar..." (But...)
Before husband and wife could converse some more in privacy, there was a sound of staff entering the office. After half an hour, when majority of staff was present, Maan and Geet came out of Geet's cabin shocking the whole staff. Seeing Maan everyone ran to their respective seats.
Once everyone was at work station, Maan started talking, "Namaskar, aaj se aur abhi se yeh Khurana Construction ki Manali branch humare iss project ke saath shuru hoti hai. Abhi kuch mahine mai yahaan se kaam karunga uske baad is branch ke liye ek supervisior rakha jaayega jo meri ghairmaujodhgi mein, yahaan kaa kaam dekhega." (Good morning! From today and now, along with this project Khurana Constructions Manali branch is inaugrated. For next few months I will work from here, after which I'll appoint a supervisior who will work in my absence.) Looking at Geet's direction he said, "Jab tak mai Manali se kaam karunga yeh meri... (As long as I'm working here in Manali she is my...)
"Mai Maan Sir ki PA cum Secretary hoon aur mera naam hai, Mrs. Gayatri Singh. Mujhe aap sabka saath chahiye hoga kyunki mai Manali mei nayi hoon aur mai..." (I'm Maan Sir's PA cum Secretary and my name is, Mrs. Gayatri Singh. I want help from all of you as I'm new to Manali and...)
"Mrs. Singh garabhvati (pregnant) hain iss liye aap inki please help kijiyega kuch bhi bahaari samaan utthane mein yaa agar inki tabiyat theek naa ho tab?" (Mrs. singh is pregnant so please kindly help her in lifting any heavy weight and please take care of her if she becomes unwell.) Then looking at a fortyish (40) man having a knotted pony tail behind his head, Maan said,"Pandeyji agar staff yaa worker's ko koi pareshaani ko toh aap mujhe yaa Mrs. Singh ko battaiyega. Abb aap sab wapis apne kaam par jaayiye!" (Mr. Pandey, if staff or workers have any problem you can inform me or Mrs. Singh. Now everyone back to your work stations.)
Geet stayed back once Maan left. She tried to move around the common work area trying to get to know different employees. She was most uncomfortable with a man who was walking and talking like a woman but was dressed as a man and called himself Manish-a. But a middle aged woman, Mrs. Kumudini Vidharyarthi came near Geet and made her relax. "Mrs. Singh, aap..."(Mrs. Singh, you...)
"Mrs. Vidhyarthi, hum to aapse bahut chote hain aap hummei naam se bulaiye Ge...humara matlab hai Gayatri keh kar bulaiye!" (Mrs. Vidhyarthi, I much younger than you in age so please call me Ge... I mean Gayatri.)
"Beta, mai keh rahi thee ki Manish..." (I was saying my dear that Manish...)
"Manish-a!"
"Accha, accha, Manisha se darne ki koi zarurat nahi hain. Woh..." (Ok, ok, there is no need to be scared of Manish-a. Because...)
"Sweetie,tum mujhse darr rahi ho? Mujhse?? Matt darro sweetie mere mann mein toh sirf ek hottie bassa hai." (Sweetie, you are scared of me? ME?? Don't be, in my heart only one hottie is there.)
"Hottie...?"
"Humare hot, hot boss, Mr. Maan Singh Khurana!" (Our hot, hot boss, Mr. Maan Singh Khurana!)
"KYA...?" (WHAT?) Geet would have fainted had Mrs. Vidhyarthi not caught her.
Maan saw Geet looking pale from cabin window and Mrs. Vidhyarthi supporting her. Maan ran towards her. Before any other male could touch Geet,
he scooped her in his arms and was about to take her into her cabin although he would have preferred to take her to his cabin but stopped when Geet screamed, "Sir hum theek hain. Hummein neeche uttariye!" (Sir I'm fine, put me down!)
The whole office staff was looking in wonder and surprise that a boss can be so compassionate for a mere employee! "Maan Sir, aap mujhe utta sakte hain apni bahaon mein mujhe bhi chakkar aa raha hai. Mujhe koi problem nahi hogi. Infact I would love it!" (Maan Sir, you can scoop me in your arms as I'm feeling dizzy. I will have no problem with it. Infact I would love it!) Geet covered her face with her palla trying to hide a smile.
Maan put Geet down and glared at Manish-a and barked "BACK TO WORK EVERYONE! Mrs, Singh if you are not well, you can go home!" Then Maan left for his cabin.
Rest of the day passed peacefully but Maan kept himself in check so as to not arouse suspicion among staff members regards Maan and Geet's relation. When it was time to leave, Geet left with few office ladies towards taxi stand before Maan could say anything. Maan left in his luxury car but parked it in a secluded spot so he could wait till Geet got a cab. Once Geet left with office ladies, he followed the cab. He had messaged Geet and asked her to get down at XYZ place where Nakul would be waiting for her. Geet did as was told and then with Nakul in another car left for apple orchard cottage!
