Chapter 4
Maan pinched himself. How can he bring this headache with himself? This Geet was more like a child rather than his secretary. Even though my ex-secretary cheated me, at least she wasn't this dumb...but she wasn't as beautiful as Geet...
What was he thinking? That villager was beautiful? He couldn't believe what he was thinking, if only he could control his mind. Well, she is beautiful. But nothing more than that.
'Since Daadima has told me to bring you along, just come, we'll discuss it with her at home.'' Maan calmly said.
Geet rolled her eyes, she could not believe this. This had to be a nightmare.
'No. I don't want to, I rather be homeless then live with you.''
'How dare you say this to Maan Singh Khurana? So many would die to live with me and you're telling me that you rather be homeless?'' Maan replied. Why couldn't she listen to him at least once, he wasn't even asking her for much...
'Let me speak to your Daadima on your phone, I don't believe you. '
Geet will you accompany me nicely or should I drag you.''
'I don't want to co...'' Geet screamed as Maan picked her up.
'Sir!! Why do you need to pick me up, you could've just dragged me along what was the need to pick me up like some Bollywood hero.'' Geet shouted.
'Fine if I put you down do you promise to come with me?''
'I promise now put me down!!''
Geet could feel her cheeks heating up. Whilst Maan put her down they were only a few inches away from each other. She'd never been so close to any guy before, as she stared at his coffee coloured eyes. She couldn't help but get lost in them; she didn't know why she wasn't shouting at him anymore.
Maan suddenly saw a foreign look in Geet's eyes. He always saw her angry at him but he never saw Geet this calm with him. He didn't know what to do.
'You know what?'' Maan said emotionless.
'What?''
'You're wearing too much makeup.'' Maan replied with a laugh.
Geet's mouth opened wide. How could he say this when they nearly shared a moment? This idiot will never change. Geet puckered her lips disgustingly while glaring at Maan.
'Leave me now you fool.'' Geet said while pushing away Maan from herself.
Maan steadily let go of Geet. He could sense her discomfort, but he didn't know what to say when she was so close to him. He had just blabbed anything to get rid of the awkwardness.
-
Both Maan and Geet entered Khurana Mansions. Geet had never seen such beauty in her whole life, but how could she when she was just a mere commoner with a sad past. No wonder Maan sir was so rude and self-conceited Geet thought.
'So do you like my amazing house?''
'The house is nice, I don't know about the owner though.'' Geet said while staring up and down at Maan.
'There you two are, I hope you are enjoying working with Maan, Geet dear.'' Savitri Devi amusingly said.
'Firstly, Ma'am why am I here? I thought I would be living somewhere else?'' Geet responded. What was the purpose of her living here too she thought.
Maan pursued his lips, did she really have a big problem being in the same area as him. Well it was a mutual feeling he thought...
'You are Maan's secretary beta. I want you to make sure that he's needs are well catered as his last secretary wasn't fit for the job.'' Savitri calmly responded. She wanted Geet to work well with Maan and the only way was if she lived with him. He would eventually get used to her and get rid of his hatred for women.
Maan flinched when Daadima mentioned his last secretary. Naintara, her name was. Thinking of her brought back such bitter memories that he just didn't want to remember.
'Daadi, I'm going to go to the outhouse, I'm not feeling too good.'' Maan hurriedly said. He just needed to escape.
'Take Geet with you too dear, she'll stay with you too.'' Daadima said while walking off. She knew they would just have to work things out with this arrangement that she had forced.
Geet gawked at Maan in horror. She hoped he'd read her mind and throw a tantrum at his Daadi making her stay in this mansion instead.
'Fine, come along then Geet.''
'But...I don't..'' Before Geet could finish her sentence, she felt a firm grasp on her arm.
'I'm sleepy, if you want to argue we can do it tomorrow. Please I can't right now.'' Geet could sense hurt in his voice as he said this. She didn't want to press further anymore.
'Leave my hand then. I'm not a child, you don't need to drag me to my room I'll figure it out.''
Maan rudely let go of her hand and walked towards the outhouse, he knew that tonight was the night he would have to drink his sorrows away. When he was drinking, he could no longer remember the memories that haunted his mind.
Geet started to explore the outhouse, it was quite smaller than the Khurana mansion but it was still extravagant.
At least this was a home, what she lived in before, was that a home? Having abuses thrown at her daily and even beaten sometimes by her stepmother, was that what people called family?
Geet walked in what looked like a vacant room from the window, but the problem was it was filled with darkness. But she took the risk anyway and entered, she didn't want to ask that idiot Maan for help. She would just have to look for her room by herself.
After entering the room, she knew she made a mistake. The door started to squeak and close. She tried opening the door but with no luck. It just didn't want to open. But Geet was scared of the dark what was she meant to do now? Being in the dark made her remember horrible memories that she didn't wanted to remember.
Her stepmother whipping her the dark room...
Her stepmother leaving her in the room for over a day...
Geet's eyes started to fill with tears. What could she do now, because of her stupid boss she would die in this room.
Maan had to go to the vacant room to get his wine, he knew that he should've helped Geet reach her room but she said she didn't need his help right? So why should he go and help her when she always treats him like the back of her shoe.
Maan saw that the door was already closed, but he didn't even visit this room in days. Putting his ear next to the door, he could hear soft sobbing in the room.
Idiot Maan!
Maan thought that Geet must've locked herself in the room. He laughed to himself, silly girl. Why would she randomly go into an unknown room?
'It must be my job to save her then'' He said with a smirk.
