Maan woke up after tossing and turning in sleep for a while realizing his wifey has left and finally opened his eyes ..he turned and clutched her pillow ready to sleep for bit longer when his phone buzzed ...he searched around for his mobile and finally got hold of it from under his pillow only to see some forward message ..cursing he exit the notification panel only to get the timer in front of his lock screen and he lept up with a shriek ..
SHIT ...
He stood up and untangled the duvet fron his legs irritably while geet came out of the kitchen ..
What happened ..??
Geet I am late uthaya kyun nahi ...
Umm wohh ...
Time dekho yaar 10 baj gaye ...mujhe 11:30 Mr. Murti k office puhanchna tha ...
An hour later maan picked up his project file and opened the door to his house ..calling for geet
Geet mera valet kahan hai ...
Ek minute ...laa rahi hoon
She walked out with the valet and his mobile ..
Yeh lo ..vallet ...mobile ...files rakh li
Han rakhli ..
Chalo ok ..all the best Mr. Khurana ..
Maan smiled looking at her and left placing a kiss on her cheek ...to which she turned red glancing around as they were standing outside of their house now ...while he hurried outside of the chawl she kept looking at him while standing upstairs ...
**^^**
Meanwhile at Mr. Murti's office Brij Handa was there presenting a deal no middle level organization could refuse ...
Brij: so what do you think ...
The offer is quite impressive Mr. Handa ..but I am still unable to understand why a company like THE HANDA INDUSTRIES would want to make such a huge investment in a company like ours that has just began its operation a few years ago ...
Well I see an opportunity and I make use of it Mr. Murti ...I really feel that it will be good of us ..and anyways I got to know that the land you own in banglore is superb for our project ...
Oh that land ...in that case I must let you know that land is for another project of our company ...
Well ...I'd like to know more about it may be I can be of any help to you ..
Oh that's just a small project of a young champ ...he brought the idea we brought the money and the project would be signed today ...
Young champ ...really who is that
Mr. Murti looked at him hesitantly but his other partner joined in ...
His name is Maan Singh ... we met him yesterday only I must say he is very intellectual and smart. A fine gentleman ..
Mr. murti what if I tell you that you must cancel the deal with that guy for me to invest in your company ...
Brij handa was sitting in Mr. murti's cabin with other 2 members of his company brij expected him to react very harshly while all the men were waiting for his reply he sat calmly and sipped from the glass of water and sat back adjusting his coat ..
Well then I would say to you that you know where the door is we don't need your investment ..
Murti ...//
Relax guys ... I don't do business forsaking my values and ethics ...
Brij smirked and sat in his place ...
I am impressed to know that Mr. Murti ..even more a reason for me to be interested in doing business with you .. but just ... lets just say I am trying to be a well wisher to you ..which is why I would request you to do a background check on this guy maan singh ...I doubt that's his name.
Thank you for your concern Mr. Handa but why are you so interested in this guy ..
Merely Mr. Murti I m just interested in saving my prospect partner from a corporate spy
A Spy ..Really !!
Yes really ...he hasn't told everything about himself to you or you wouldn't be dealing with him..
Enlighten us then
Mr. Murti turned to his partners who were now keen to know more ..
Well if you insist ...this guy Maan singh ...is actually the heir of KC ...he is the son of Yash Khurana ...he is Maan Singh Khurana ...despite that he is agreeing to work with you as a mere project head ...astounding ...I highly doubt he is here to get an idea about the magnitude of your company and then probably yash Khurana might try to squeeze your business and take over ...common business tactics ..
Not only this he was a prime suspect in the kidnap case of a girl and also was arrested from a motel with a prostitute with him ...Says a lot about his character doesn't it ...??
I don' t believe it ...this guy ...Murti I think the possibility of yash Khurana eyeing our company is not completely illogical ...
Brij: Gentlemen I just passed on an information ...decision is up to you all ..
Brij stood up to leave and with him all three men rose ...still processing the information he gave them ...and just as he opened the door Mr. Murti spoke with doubt and urgency ...
Information that you knew already ... you just got to know maan's name and you knew all his history ..how come ..?
He turned just before exiting ...
The girl he kidnapped from her wedding was my sister ..!! He ruined my family Mr. Murti ...and i am sure he would do the same to my sister as he is a characterless carefree brat ..
With that he left leaving the three men with many questions and doubts that were not there this morning. Brij sat in his car smirking seeing maan jogging towards the entrance of Mr. Murti's office knowing the seed of doubt he has sown in the minds of he people sitting above would taint their minds and cloud their judgement ...
Maan Singh Khurana ...I won't let you get your happy ending so soon ...I am really sorry but I can't ...because your success would prove that geet was right in choosing you thus paving way for the reunion of that girl with her father and I can't afford that ...not now... not until I get the controls of handa industries in my hand ...
**^^**
It was early in the evening when he reached the chawl and saw geet running downstairs towards him almost losing her balance on the narrow stair case ...he was at the verge of shouting at her for her fanatic behavior but stopped seeing her expressions ...she looked so worried although she was dressed beautifully in red top and black tights totally different from what she has been wearing since their marriage ...she was dressed up to party but he couldn't understand why was she running and now stood breathless in front of him trying to form a sentence ..
Geet calm down ...please
Maan wohh ..
What happened ...
Amy called ..
And ...?
He asked me to reach this location ...something about ridz and his fight I don't know ...but he was tensed I was waiting for you ...please chalte hain
But what must have gone wrong with them ...
No idea seriously ...but I think we should go ...
Maan was confused would be an understatement but if amy called them some place whatever it is ..it will be big ...
Okie ..let me just put my bag up in the house ..
Fine ill wait here ...
**^^**
They reached the given address only to find out it was a posh hotel ...geet clutched his arm tight standing by his side looking at the grandeur of the place. Surely they both had gone to many such places in their life but the situation the way geet explained armaan begged her to reach as early as possible just didn't fit with this place never the less they entered the hotel & the confusion was replaced by shock just as they saw ridhima storming out of the hotel lobby followed by armaan ...they followed them to the garden area where they saw amy-ridz arguing ...
Armaan this is the limit now ...mujhe koi baat nahi karni tum se ..just leave me alone
Basket yaar I was just trying to ...//
Trying to do what ..han ek baar hurt karna kaafi nahi tha ...
MG: Guys whats going on ..
Armaan: oh thank god tum dono aagaye ...geet please apni BFF ko samjhao koi apne fianc p itna mis-trust nahi karta ...aur itna ghussa tu waise bhi health k liye acha nahi hai ..
Ridz: Shut up you ...geet iss baar agar tum ne iss dhokebaaz nautanki ki side li na I swear I won't talk to you ever ..
Maan: Will someone please tell us hua kya hai ...
Armaan: I'll tell you
Ridz: NO ..ill tell you
Armaan: geet tum iss ki nahi meri baat suno
RIdz: yeah right ..maan geet tum dono pehle meri baat sonuge
Armaan: Ridhima please han ladies first poraana hugaya ...so ill tell them first.
Geet: CHUP KARO ...dono ek dum chup karo... ridz tu bata kya hua
Yeh poucho kya nahi hua ...firstly I caught him openly flirting with an intern in the cafeteria ...then he paged me official pager p that path lab m emergency h ...I went there ...but guess what path lab khaali thi n yeh wahan thay ...ofcourse Dr. Kirti ko uss hi waqt aana tha ...yeh tu off-day p tha ...n he got saved but duty time p ward m na hone k waja se mujhe punish mili meri last week ki off cancel hugayi ...aur itna kaafi nahi tha in ke liye ...now when finally I got an off after 10 days i.e today ...yeh janab mujhe kisi se apne accident ki news communicate karwa rahe hain ...
Maan: what the ...//
Geet: arman ..how can you
Armaan: han tu mien kya karta 1 week s mujh se baat nahi kar rahi h... mere paas aur koi raasta tha kya
Geet: yeh raasta theek nahi tha ...
Ridz turned away from armaan with tears in her eyes while geet held her ...
Ridz: geet I ...pata h kaise lag raha tha jab tak m yahan puhanchi nahi ...the guy over the call said he was here since last night and now wouldn't wake up ...I couldn't even think straight ...//
Maan: dude kya karta h tu ...aur koi plan nahi bana sakta tha
Armaan: mien kya karta ...tu bhi tu pata nahi kahan busy h ...dekh le ab sab teri waja s hua h ..
Maan: meri waja se ...saale sharam kar ...
Armaan: han tu ...tu huta saath tu itna stupid plan banata kya mien ..
Geet: shut up both of you ...armaan she is crying ...meri dost ro rahi h ...
Ridz: let it be geet ..waise bhi armaan ko tu acha lagta h mujhe hurt karna ..
Armaan stood there looking down realizing he over did that ...and the plan went down the drain while geet and maan glanced at each other realizing how they distanced themselves from their best friends a moment of silence passed and finally maan nudged him out of his revere
Maan: yahan khare hone s kuch nahi huga ...go get your girl back ..
Armaan looked at him with a half smile when geet walked upto to them and placed a hand over his shoulder ..
Jaiye JEEJA GI aur meri dost ko lekar hi wapis aayega ...
He smiled at both of them and left in the direction ridhima went ...
Maan sighed and geet turned to him smiling ..
Such a kiddo they are ..!!
Maan smiled and they side hugged each other hoping that arman would be able to get her back now itself ...geet parted immediately surprising maan with such a quick reflex
O teri ...mien tu bhool hi gayi
Kya ..??
Oh ho ..iss sab tension m ...mien contract ka pouchna tu bhool hi gayi ...
Oh wohh ..
Yeh itna thanda response kyun ..?? koi garbar hui ..?
Hmm ...I am not gonna sign the contract ..
WHAT !!! WHY ...hua kya mera matlab ..
Geet jo conditions unhoon ne di hain ...I can't fulfill that ...
Aisa kya kaha Mr. Murti n ..
Well they'll be providing me a company guest house in their staff quarters/mess which will be shared by other male staff ill have to live there and no remuneration until the project ends i.e for next 8-12 months ...
Geet wanted to say something but the words just didn't came out ...realizing what it would mean if he lives in a shared setting ...she will have to stay back ...away from him ...for almost an year ..!! but if he loose this opportunity what are the chances of getting another company agree to do this project with him ..and how much more he would have to struggle because of this ...
While she was processing the information maan saw her expressions ...that struggle to adapt and realized how correct his decision is ...he can't leave her here alone not now ..not ever ..!!
Maan but yeh ...
Geet sighed pulling up her practical stone face trying to look strong least did she knew that maan already read her heart and mind. None the less she still made an effort to convince him ..
I think you should go ..
Yeah right ...and leave you here alone to fetch for yourself no thank you. I will not
Maan baat ko samjho ...see I am applying places I might get a job ...you can live in the shared setting ..its not a bad deal you'll have food and accommodation ...and ..//
I can't believe you are saying this ...
Maan listen ..we have to think practically here ..
Geet looked down and held his hand ...
This is your golden opportunity ...u can't let it go like this ...
Maan left her hand and held her shoulders making her look into his eye ..see the conviction and determination of his heart n mind ...
I will not leave you ...and go
The tears she was trying to hide pooled in her hazel duo while she spoke with a heavy heart looking into his eyes ..
But its your dream project ..
And you are my life ..(she looked away just as the first trail of tears dropped from her eyes while he held her face in his palm ever so softly wiped the tears off her cheeks and spoke with utmost love and affection) ..I am choosing my life over my dream that what smart people do mishty ...
Geet saw amy & ridz coming back towards them and stepped back turned away and patted her face to wipe any traises of tears off her face while maan straightened ..and went towards them ..
All set now ..
Amy: well I guess ..
Ridz went to stand by geet: until his next stupidity ...
They all were smiling but with a hidden pain of their own ..looking into the eyes on their partner speaking silent agony
Armaan: ridz itna sa bhi trust nhi karti kya tum mujh p ..kaise soch liya tum ne k tumhare elawa kisi aur ki mere liye thori bhi importance hu sakti hai
Ridz: pata nahi kab tak tumhara bachpana sambhaal paongi armaan ...kab samjhoge tum k ab hum college m nahi hain ..
Maan: kaise soch liya tum ne geet k mien tumhain akela chor dunga ..kya itna samajh paiye hu mujhe ..
Geet: tum kyun nahi samajh rahe maan ..life mien kabhi difficult decision lene parte hain ..mien apni waja s tumhara koi sapna tootne nahi dena chahti ...pyaar itna selfish nahi huta ...
