Maneet FF - GEETIKA - Thread 1 - UPDATED PT 62 IN NEW THREAD - Page 6

Both way back to Delhi...time already close to 4:00 PM...

There is a pin drop silence in the car... Is this the silence before the storm?She looks at the roof of the car...Bhagawane kaapathu (Babaji...Please help)...Geet clears her throat first. Maan Looks at her from side of his eyes still driving...Sir...I just wanted to make manish understand in the way he can understand.

Leave it Geet...I am not that interested in going ahead with this client.

Sir..but why?

Do you think they are serious about this business?

Sir..I could make out thro this spice company...they are successfully running it and their business is into a good Turnover stream and...

But that's a family run business it was established by Manish's grandfather/great grandfather...moreover, spices and Real Estate are too different poles apart.

Sir...If you don't mind...I can give you examples of these family run business entrepreneurs investing in various field and every different field is different from other...say for eg, Reliance invests in telecom and energy and at the same time they are investing in chain of stores/super markets...I could see that Manish and Romesh intend to do something on their own and also concentrate on their family run business at the same time...Of course they were a crazy lot, I don't deny that...but they are business minded and hardworking people...its only that they follow different business principles and ethics compared to Khurana Constructions...that's it. If you are taking my opinion, we need to look into various aspects before saying yes or no...As you said...will make a business plan and let you know.

I need you to prepare complete business planning before I take my final decision.

Sure sir...I will prepare list of Questions which will help me in business planning...Please find out the details from Manish

NOOO...Maan screams with the fact that he has to call manish as he knows what will follow...Manish's cochi-cooing over phone..😆

Geet is shocked with his NO which was too loud😲

I mean Geet...you can call him and take details...I have no problem with it.

Fine sir...then I will call him and take the details

He stops the car near a restaurant

Sir...Where are we?

Its already 4:00 PM. I'm hungry and I am sure even you are...lets finish with our lunch before we go back to office.

Geet is really impressed with his gesture. Its really impossible to understand this deer devil...how nice of him to understand that I am hungry.😳

She gets down from the car...she is irritated with the terrible smell of the fish. She reads the restaurant name and her eyes pops out... "Fish & Chips". She is standing near the entrance not able to enter the Restaurant because of the disgusting smell (Its disgusting as per her as she is a pure vegetarian)

Geet...Should I give a special invitation for you? COME IN

Ayyo Bhagawane...Eppadi solradhu? Sonnalum tappu...sollanalana tappu...Naan eppadi ulla pogaradu? Meen...Uahh...Kandravi (Hey Babaji...How can I say? I am in trouble if I say it or dont say it...How can I go inside... Fish...yuck...disgusting)

GEET

SSsir... I'll wait for you here till you finish your lunch.

What happened? Why are you behaving like this? Aren't you hungry? Now get inside the restaurant

SSsir... I cannot. She keeps quite for a sec...I am a vegetarian and not used to eating Non-veg...I am even sensitive to the smell of Non-veg food...especially fish.

HUH...She is a vegetarian? Uff..kya karoon main is ladki ka? (What shall I do with this girl?) Why the hell she is a Vegetarian? Ab kya karoon? (What shall I do?) Maan rubs his temple doesn't understand what to do...

An eye lock for some time...She still has a hold on his hand.

Sir..Its really disturbing..you are not having your lunch because of me...😕

How can I have my lunch without you?...Uff..what did I tell now...

Geet looks at him questing... I mean...I was thinking how can we both have lunch in this place as you cannot have it here.

Sir...I know a south Indian restaurant near by...You get good vegetarian food there... Shall we go there If you don't mind?

Geet was pleading with a baby (Hungry) face 😳 ...how can he say no to her.

Hmm...

Thank You Sir...😊Geet is all excited now. She is unable to hold more on her hungry tummy😛

Dont know why I agree to her every point...WHY? Aaj Sher Ghas Khayega...Woh bhi Madrasi Ghass (Today lion will have grass and that too a South Indian grass)

Geet takes him to a place... "SIMPLY SOUTH"...its a pure vegetarian restaurant. Its a small place but serve verieties of South Indian dishes...and regular hadda for Geet and Pinky. There are very few customers who chitchat with the people here...Geet and Pinky are the regular customers and most popular out here...The Restaurant changes into a fun-filled atmosphere when Geet and Pinky used to visit...And Geet being Tamilian and these people really enjoy chitchatting in Tamil with her.

Geet takes her seat first...Sir..what are you thinking? You don't need my invitation...Sit down

Hmm...Must say that today is her day...she is repeating my dialogues to me...hmm.

One of the waiter is so excited to see Geet... He gives the menu card for both.

Akka...Eppadi irukenga? (Hello Sister...how are you?)

Nalla Iruken Annachi (Fine Bhaiya)

Romba Naal aachu inga vandhu? (After long time)

Hmm..Enna panradhu...Velai romba jasthi ayiduchu...adhu thaan vara mudiyalai (hmm...What to do? Too much of work..that's why couldn't come) with all sad expression.

Innaikum...Ivaru ennai andha Meen Kadaiku kootitu ponaru...Nalla Velai...Naan dhaan inga kootitu vandhuten (He was taking me to that fish shop...I dragged him to come down to this restaurant) and both start laughing

Maan lost in her Tamil talks and ofcourse her laugh. Also feeling angry (and jealous...😆) what are they talking for such a long time? 😡Wait wait...why am I feeling jealous in the first place?🤢

Ha..ha...innaiku meen varuval saptirkalame...nalla rusiya irrukum (You should have tried the fish fries there...Its so tasty)

Chi Chi...Karumam Karumam (Chee Chee...Disgusting Disgusting) making a yuck face. Natham Thangamudiyalai ( Couldnt take in that smell)

The waiter looks at Maan...and even Maan looks at him ...sari, Ivar yaaru? (By the way...Who is he?)

Ivar than mudalali (He is the boss)

Oh Ivaralathaan ivvalavu velaiya? Adhanalathan inga varamudiyalaiya? (Oh he is the one who gives you so much work that you don't happen to visit our restaurant that regularly?)

Geet nods with a baby face...Maan is still thinking what these both are talking so much

This waiter gives a stare at Maan... and then talks to Geet in low tone...Venumna...innaiku ivar sapidara tiffinla naraiya mulagapudi podren (If you want...I will mix lot of chilli powder in the tiffin which he is going to have)

Geet smiles inwardly but maintains serious look ...Annachi (Bhaiya) Paavam vittutallunga...ivara naan gavanikaren...unga velaiya mattum parunga(Dont do that...Poor Guy...I will take care of him...you just do what you are suppose to do)

The waiter gives another look to Maan and then leaves them to decide on the order (Authour thinks: How dare he stares at MSK and that too more than one time...well why the waiter needs to care who this MSK is 😆)

What were you both talking?

Oh...Myself and Pinky used to come over here regularly...hence he was asking me what happened why are we not visiting this restaurant these days...That's it...gives an artificial smile

So, why was he staring at me?

Staring? When did he? You are just imagining

What did you tell him about me?

I told him that you are my boss with a praise..that's all

PRAISE? Hmm...Need to believe you...what else can I do..

Uff... this Deer Devil...He will not leave till I answer him...If I tell him this waiter's intentions, he will chop this waiter into pieces and throw him to the wild animals in the zoo nearby.

The waiter brings two glass of water.

Uh...this glass and doesn't seem to be clean water

Geet could guess his uneasiness...Annachi...Take these two glasses back and get only two Mineral water bottles

Hmm...That's really a good gesture from her side.

Sir...what would you like to order?

Maan is quite...He finds what ever mentioned in the menu card to be Greek and Latin.😕

let me suggest you...this place is famous for its "Masala Dosa". Woh Pinky hain na...Its her hot favourite here and she finishes four "Masala Dosas" at one go...So, Why dont you try it? I am sure you'll like it.

Hmm...when decided to have vegetarian...what matters!

And then Will Order "Medu Vadas"...and then "Rava Idli"...Sir this should do na...Rest shall be ordered later

Lagtha hain Lunch ke saath saath dinner bhi katham karne waali hai (I guess she is going to have lunch and Dinner at the same time)

She calls the Waiter...Annachi (Say...Bhaiya) ...two Masala Dosas, One plate Medu Vadas...Maan is just nodding his head...One Rava Idli...and dont forget 4 extra cups of Sambar and chutneys that's only for me...rest will follow later.

The food comes...

Maan is giving strange looks to that Masala Dosa and requests waiter...Get me a knife and fork

Geet Giggles...Sir...these people keep only spoons...no knife and fork...Well you can enjoy eating dosa while you are having it with your hand.

Huh...How will I eat it without fork and knife?

He tries to take in the first bit in his hand and takes it to his left side of his cheek by mistake assuming to be taking it into his mouth...😆

His cheek still has a bit of food particle. Geet actions to Maan by rubbin her own cheeks...Maan was rubbing everywhere else on his face apart from his cheek.

Geet slowly brings in her right hand and touches his right side of the cheek very softly intending to remove that food particle. Maan looks at her hand till the time it reached his cheek...he closed his eyes for a brief moment to feel her touch.

SIR...This food particle was sticking on your cheeks...that's why...are you fine?

Hmm..

He somehow started eating with the help of his hands...Infact he liked the taste of Masala Dosa...Surprisingly it had less oil and spice in it.

Geet was simply enjoying all what she had ordered...she had kept 2 cups of sambar and chutney aside. Maan was wondering why she has kept it.

After finishing with all...she takes each cup of sambar and chutney and starts consuming it and relishing every spoon she is taking in...feeling the taste by closing her eyes

What is this Geet? You are having this...this

Sambar

What ever...just like that?

Sir...I love the sambar and chutney here...The people here know me that I love it so much and always get two extra cups of it for me.

How can he miss to look at her...She really looked cute while enjoying every drop of that Sambar.

You can also have it if you want...she calls the waiter.

NOOO...I mean No geet

Sir...would you like to have anything else?

Nothing

You just had one Masala Dosa...Was it enough?

Yeah geet...What I had is enough.

Ok...In genral, people in south are used to having coffee after finishing the tiffin during Morning/Evening times...And the coffee here is too good...its south Indian filter coffee...very refreshing

She orders for two coffee. South Indian filter coffee has its own refreshing taste...and both enjoyed every drop of hot filter coffee

Finally, it was time to leave...and both back to their car

Sir...Thank you so much...I wish you too really enjoyed the food here.

Well...it was good...Not bad...Geet...Its already 5:30...I will drop you home

Sir...Please drop me in the Ganesh Mandir few kms before my home

Fine...as you wish

They reach the ganesh mandir

Geet...it seems as if its going to rain heavily...It will be difficult for you to go back home from here...

I will manage sir.

She wanted to ask him if he wants to join her...at least for the sake of courtesy

Sir...would you also join me...This temple is very special...and there will be some special pooja today as its Thursday.

No Geet...I usually dont go to temple and stuff...you carry on

Sir...Thank you once again for everything...see you tomorrow

Geet got into the temple and it started raining in next 5 minutes

Oh no...I know this rain will not stop for next one or two hours...she will not easily find taxi/auto rikshaw..should I wait/not wait? What to do. He parks his car nearby and starts climbing the temple stairs.

Geet reaches the temple first

Arre Geet bete...

Hello Daadima...how are you?🤗

I'm fine and you? I never get to see you these days...I must call you "Eid ka chand" hence forth...

What to do Daadima...extremely busy with my work and studies.

Even today, it was impossible for me to come over here...Luckily my boss had a meeting somewhere in Noida and it was too late to get back to office and then go back home...He told me that he will drop me home but then I requested him to drop me here.

It was only you and your boss? No body else?

Yes...only me and my boss...and Daadima it was my first meeting for me at the client's place...The client was so impressed with my presentation that the client agreed to give this project to Khurana Constructions only if GEETIKA IYER takes care of the project.

WOW...congrats Geet...

DAADIMA...what happened?

Nothing bete...finish with your Ganesh Darshan and then we will continue our talk

While Geet went for her Ganesh Darshan...Maan came in search of her...

Daadi is not able to believe her eyes...She is actually seeing MAAN SINGH KHURANA 😲

Arre Maan Bete...Yeh main kya dek rahi hoon...Kya yeh sachmuch aap hi hain? ( Oh Maan Dear...What am I seeing...Is it really you?) She tries to believe by touching him

Maan never expected Daadima to be here

Maan...You cant believe how much happy I am to see this change in you...You are changing Maan...You are changing...Tears of joy roll down her eyes...

Oops...Maan never happen to show such an image of himself...trying his best to cover up...Woh Daadima...haan...bas eise hi aagaya tha...Not getting right words with valid reasons to explain...and his eyes are looking out for Geet and his eyes gets glued to her once he finds her.

Daadima notices his restlessness of his eyes which suddenly gets fixed on something...when daadi follows the direction of his eyes...she finds his eyes were actually looking for Geet. Hmm...so he has come here following her...for what ever reason may be.😉

Daadima...I have some other work to finish...Will take your leave...

Arre Arree..Maan Bete...Yahan tak aagaye tho Ganesh ji ka darshan karliliye(you have come till here atleast take Ganesh Darshan)

He leaves from there by the time she even completes her sentence

Hmm..I am impressed...Maan Singh Khurana has come all the way here...I am sure he will start believing in God Soon...Thanks Ganeshji...oh yah...Thanks Geet...I am sure this wouldn't have happened without Geet's influence😊

Geet finishes with her Ganesh Darshan and comes back to Daadi

Daadi...The Ganesh idol is decorated so nicely...don't feel like taking my eyes out of the idol...will stay back here for some more time

No bete...its just started raining and I can sense this will transform into heavy rain which will not stop for next two hours...its better for you to leave from here right now.

Oh...Ok daadi...I will leave right away...see you again soon

Bye bete...

Precap: Hmm...What next?

Part 36:

Oh...Ok daadi...I will leave right away...see you again soon

Bye bete...hmm...I am sure Maan must be waiting for her somewhere down this hill...Ganeshji...What I think must be true...😉

The rain started catching up speed and it started pouring heavily

Oh this rain...its better I get downstairs as early as possible. Geet is stepping down the stairs in full speed. The stairs were covered with transperent green glass roof top..hence luckily she is not getting drenched while getting down the stairs...but the last few steps touching the ground level were full of water and slippery. Geet didn't realise that it and she ran over it...slipped and about to fall down on the ground when someone runs to her and grabs her by her waist. During this process, she happens to hit her head on his chest and holds both her hand on his shoulder with a tight grip...Both got into "Semi-hug" position feeling each other's breath.she somehow guessed who it is and she moves a little back to look at his face and both have a eye lock. His hand still holding on to her waist...Rain drops falling on them but they are still lost in each other...don't know why.

Both snap out immediately when they realize they are in a public place. Still raining heavily

Sir..

Get into the car...quick

The car was parked few feet away. Geet couldnt walk as one of her feet got twisted. She tried to walk but couldnt. Maan liftes her instantly...Oops..she didnt expect this at all... and how could people around miss such a sight...She doesnt know how to react one one hand she is feeling embarrassed and feeling ticklish with his touch... An Eyelock again not to miss.

Bhagawane...(Babaji) why the more I try to stay away from him, the more we end up banging on each other...why are you doing this to me? I don't want to get into any thought that doesn't have a future.

He could feel her loud heartbeat as both her hand covers around his neck for a balance. Her breath falling on his chest...Its a strange feeling altogether...He simply admires her face as every rain drop falling on her face...he is again looking into those deep eyes which he avoids to see to the maximum level (but fails) as he feels that it wants to tell him million things...of course he mistakes it to be an illusion.

He brings her down when they near the car and they happen to take the respective seats. And the drive starts. Geet sooths her feet by rubbing it with her hand.

Sir...You are still here?

He initially didn't know what to answer...Woh...I had a document to be delivered just close by. Its just a walkable distance. I just finished with it and got to see you when I get back here.

See...I told you its going to rain heavily...I would have got you dropped at your home...But you never listened.

Was it so important to come down to this temple with so many risks...you don't know what happens when it rains this heavily, you don't get taxi, the water gets higher than the ground level...

Ayyooo Bhagawane...Enna Aachu ivaruku. Mazhaiyai Mudal darava parararo? ( Hey Babaji...what happened to him? Is he seeing rain for the first time?)

And see...you were about to fall and thank God I was there otherwise, you would have come to office with 10 stitches on your face

10 STITCHES😲...Sir...you are talking as if its not rain but its a Tsunami

What?

I just came for the darshan which I regularly do and rain is something natural...we just cannot stop what we are doing, where we are going because its raining...and being rainy season, its simply not possible to just remain in your own place because of that.

OK...let me ask you one thing...will you stop working or will you stop us to come to office because its raining heavily...will you accept it as an excuse for not coming to office? I am sure you will not..If we get scared of these natural factors, then it becomes difficult to carry on with our daily routines...That's why I try to enjoy living with it than fearing it.

Maan looks at her for a sec.

And luckily, you were there today to help me out of this rain and saved me from falling...But I will get into such tricky situations again and again in my life and I need to face it all alone...and not everytime I can expect that you will come and help me (In a way she is giving an answer to her restless mind)

He again looks at her...

Am I correct sir?

Maan didnt understand whether to tell YES or NO...

The car stops near Geet's home.

Sir...Would you like to join for a cup of coffee? Its just a gesture from her side

No ...I have to go

once again Thank You for everything...See you tomorrow...Bye...with a smile

Oye Geet...Kahan thi yaar? (Where were you?)...And you played in Rain?

Do you remember, Me and Maan Sir had to attend a meeting...It got too late by the time the meeting finished and hence sir dropped me here.

You had something to eat?

Yeah..I had at "Simply South"...also convinced Maan sir to join...

Oye Geet...kya bolrahi hai? (what are you saying?) Maan Sir Aur Simply South...Impossible

Why?

Its good place for yours and my standards but not for Maan Sir's...For his status, he would prefer high standard eat outs...

But he did join me and also seemed to enjoy the food there.

Hmm...It may be a coincidence...Or maybe he preferred to join you at Simply South, rather than taking you to his regular eat outs and fell small in front of people over there...What can be said about the high class people?

No Pinky...its not true...First he offered me to join him for lunch at Fish & Chips...but you know I am a pure vegetarian...I couldn't even get into that restaurant and that's when I suggested him Simply South

Whatever...Maan sir and all other people belonging to his category are very different from we middle class people by all terms and aspects. Anyways... Your hair and cloths are still wet. You change and I will get coffee ready for you.

Geet is lost again...As if she got a strong answer for the questions raising in her mind...Its so true...Pinky is correct...so much differences in the lifestyle, culture, habits and what not...I should stop thinking about all this...It will lead to NOWHERE...

Maan stops his car on the way...Still raining.

He felt like standing out in rain for some time...Didnt know why he was feeling this...He recalled the entire incidents for the day...he did all what he never did or does...WHY? Why did I agree to all what she said today...Me and vegetarian food and that too at a South Indian restaurant...how could I ever imagine in my life? And why did I wait for her near that temple...Over and above all, he hates rain and he is now enjoying it...Why am I not getting any answer?

Arre Bhai...Aap tho bheegi billi jaise bheege huye hain...Annie Laughs ( You look as if you are drenched cat)

He gives a glare at her

Maan Bete...What happened?

Did Geet meet him again? I am sure they would have...Wonder what followed😉

Nothing Daadima...The car got repaired and I got struck in rain that's it.

What happened? You should have called me I would have sent another car. Now go change yourself..you will catch cold or even fever

Dev and NT pass by Maan...Are bro...aap kab se barish ka mazaa lene lage?(Since when you started enjoying rain?)

Dev...How many times to tell you..Think before you talk...anyways...my car stopped in middle of the road and it was raining...That's how I got drenched.

Dev-NT look at each other and smile.

Maan changes and joins the family at the dinner table. Maan is completely lost in another world.

Maan bete...Today I have got all your favourite for dinner...Tandoori Fish, palak gosht...

Daadima...I dont want to have all this...

But Maan...these are your favourites

Daadima...I dont feel like eating these. Vegetarian main kya bana hain (What vegetarian food is available?)

Daadi is shocked to listen to this...Maan and Vegetarian...especially during dinner...huh..what am I listening? Daadi turned to vegetarian eating long time back. She offers to share.

Maan...I have got Shahi Paneer, Aloo-Palak and vegetable biryani for myself..you can share it with me if you want

Hmm

Dev-NT look at Daadima for an answer for what's going on.

Bro...You are not having your favourite food for dinner...All fine na

Ya Dev...Its just that I am bored of eating non-veg food again and again.

Dev smiles inwardly as he is really not convinced with his bro's answer.

Daadi is so happy to see these changes in him. She always believed that Maan's hot temper is due to excessive consumption of Non-Veg.

Precap: "Enough is Enough...I will not change myself at any cost"

PART 37:

Dev smiles inwardly as he is really not convinced with his bro's answer.

Daadi is so happy to see these changes in him. She always believed that Maan's hot temper is due to excessive consumption of Non-Veg.

Jyada khush hone ki zaroorat nahin hain Dev (No need to be so happy Dev)...I am just saying NO for today...that's it.

Oh Bro...I can understand that its nearly impossible to change food habits over night...😊without taking his bro's words seriously

Daadi's happiness is again shortlived. Almost one hour later...Maan just goes to Daadi's room to meet Daadi before going to sleep. He hears Daadi and Dev's conversation.

Daadi...I could see that Bro is changing way beyond my imagination. I am really happy for him. But wonder why he denies it.

Dev...I am so happy that Maan is changing...let him deny but I am his daadi and I am not wrong with my observation...I am praying god that he should forget what ever happened in the past.

Series of incidents of the past started flashing in Maan's mind. He immediately gets back to his room. He was not at all convinced about what Dev and Daadi think about him

Why...why did I forget these few incidents from when I met Geet...No ways...I have to remember all these incidents of my past so that I dont change myself...why did I forget that she is again another employee of Khurana Construction...THAT's ALL. Enough of mistakes...not again...MSK will never change. Soon Dev and Daadi will realise that whatever they are thinking about me is completely wrong...I am not changing and will never ever change at any cost.

At Pinky's home...

Geet is thinking about the incidents happened today...It was a different feeling all together when he stopped her from falling down and also lifted her...Why did I see in his eyes that he cares a lot for me? She is really fighting hard with herself...

Avar enna yen tookinaru? (Why did he lift me?) ...Cha...en edathula yaara irundalum avar udavi senjurupparu...idhula yosikaradhuku enna iruku? 😕(Who ever would have been in my place, would have been helped by him...What is there to think about it?) Why did I tell him "not everytime I can expect that you will come and help me"...I shouldn't have told that. I told that to answer my own state of mind... I really wish he has not taken a different meaning out of those words ...

Bhagawane...enaku sakthi kudu...naan idhai pathi edhuvum yosikka virumbalai... naan office ponum, velai parkanum, velai mudinjodane officelendu tirumbanum... avalavudaan...idukum mel naan onnum virumbalai. (Babaji...Please give me strength...I am not willing to think anything further on this issue... All I want is I need to go to office, do my work and then come back home...that's it and nothing else)

Next day in office was a usual one...

Its sharp 9:00 AM...Geet prepares 2 mugs of coffee...one for herself and the other for her boss.

She gets into Maan's cabin and places the coffee...and she was about to exit the cabin door...She opens to find Maan standing there.

Ssir.. I wanted to ask you...I am going to prepare the Business planning report for M & R company...

Oh..so you haven't yet started with the report...What have you been doing then Geet?

Sir...I mean I wanted to check with you if you have anything specific to ask...or do I have to do anything else apart from the report...She is indirectly trying to ask him whether she will only need to do business planning or even start with the project planning if everything goes well...recalling Manish Shah's request that only Geet has to take care of the project planning.

GEEET...I told you yesterday...you call Manish and talk to him...ask him what ever queries you have...

SSir...You might have something specific to ask...

GEEET...You cannot expect me to spoon feed you...you take care of this issue and dont disturb me for today. Also, take all calls on my behalf and transfer only important calls to me.

Geet turns to leave...

AND...the report has to be ready by tomorrow morning...

Sure Sir

She leaves from his cabin and...

DAMN...and bangs he file on the table

The moment she is out of his cabin...

Bhagawane...Enna aachu ivaruku? Yen ivvalavu kovam? Kandippa Innaikku kalela tiffin sapidumbodhu patcha molagai saptirupparu. Naan edhuvum thappa ketkalaye...Oruvelai nethiku naan pesinadhuku thaan ivvalavu kovama?(Babaji...what happened to him? Why is he so angry? I am sure he swallowed Green Chilli while having breakfast. I didnt ask him anything wrong...Is he angry for what I told him yesterday?) She thinks for a while..appadi edhuvum irrukadhu (I doubt)

She calls Manish Shah and before that she has a list of questions to ask about him about his family background, business background, the net worth of their family, details of his noida plot etc..

Hello Sir...Good Morning

Who is this?

Its me...Geetika..Maan Sir's PA

Hey baby...how are you? Howz Maan Darling

She was about to comment...but Manish continued...

I am really upset with him...😡I have been waiting for his call...

Maan sir is busy...he has asked me to talk to you. I have list of questions to ask you..

Maan darling busy...I am sure not busy enough for Manish Shah...

Sir...he is busy in important meetings...I have to prepare a report about your project and give him...

Ok baby...what do you want to ask...

She begins with his personal background, then business back ground, trying to understand his net worth...

Sir, May I know your plot location and size?

Sir...it seems to be an amazing location...

Yeah baby, thanks to my great grandpa who had bought about 50 acres of land during those days when the land value of Noida was available at a very low cost. He distributed it among his sons and grand sons...and a part of it got transferred to my name by my Grandfather and hence I got 15 acres

May I know what is the value in terms of money for that 15 acres of land?

Hmmm...I have got the latest market information that its worth about 200-300 crores.

Hmm...About 1000 crores

Geet was shocked...and almost about to fall.

Sir...what are you saying?

Hmm..is it less? I can arrange for more...say 1200 crores...if its still less, you can raise it further.

Geet's mouth is wide open

Sir...I will review the final report and comment...she doesnt want to show her excitement.

You see...money is not a problem...I clearly told you during the meeting... I want an excellent colony to be built on my plot...and the entire project needs to be handled by YOU.

Sir...I really thank you for your trust in me but...Its Maan sir who will make a decision on this.

I will talk to Maan Darling and convince him.

Sir its ok...I am preparing the report and he will look into the report and take a decision accordingly.

I repeat...Project planning has to be made by only YOU baby...and cuts the call.

She doesnt know what Maan sir will decide on this...she finds out that the plot is in a good location and Manish is willing to invest a huge amount...and moreover, Manish is willing to leave the complete planning on Khurana Construction's responsibility...everything seems to be fine so far.

GEET...Chalna...coffee peethe hain... (Come...lets have coffee)

Pinky...I have to take sir's calls as well...he doesnt want to be disturbed today.

Like we did the other day, I have asked the security guard to handle the reception till I finish with the coffee...will tell him to take care of the situation...CHALNA...pinky drags her to the coffee shop.

The security gurard whom Pinky had assigned this task got some urgent task to finish and he handsover the reception responsibility to another security guard...and that's when Manish Shah calls for Maan and the call easily got transferred to Maan...

The phone rings...Maan looks at Geet's cabin but she wasn't there.

I had assigned her today to take my calls...where the hell is she?

Hello

Hello Maan Darling...

Oh...how come Manish...oh no...I dont want to talk to him...

Manisha...I mean Manish Shah ji...how can I help you?

What Maan Darling...you were suppose to call me...Anyways...Geetika called me and took few key details from me before going ahead with the project.

Well...we will try our best Manish Shah ji.

AND...Again to repeat...only Geet will handle this project planning.

We will come back to you on this...

Ok...Bye Maan Darling...See you soon...Mwah

Maan gives a disgusting look to the phone and is fuming with anger. He finds Geet to be back to her cabin and calls on her intercom..

Hello...

Come to my cabin...NOW...

Yes Sir...

She takes her note pad and pen in case maan is calling her for a dictation...

Sir...

GEET...I had told you in the morning to take my calls...what have you been doing?

Geet is not able to understand...

How did Manish Shah calls and the call got transferred to me? At that time, I checked for you and you were not at your cabin...

Sir..I just took a 10 minutes break...I had informed the security guard to take both your's and my calls...and take messages...but...

GEET...I dont want excuses...I had assigned you a task and you handled it carelessly...and that too it had to be a call from Manish Shah...You knew it I didnt want to talk to him right?

Sir...SORRY...I really didnt intent to...

OK..OK...Anyways, Manish Shah had called to inform us that he will be out of town for one week to 10 days and he needs us to finish with entire project planning by then...that's it.

She remains quite and not able to think anything...

Now leave from here and I dont want this to happen again...CLEAR?

Yes Sir...

She leaves from there without giving any further explanation.

Precap: the tough attitude continues

PART 38

She leaves from there without giving any further explanation.

Why did I scold her? She deserves a break and in that 10 minutes break the call got transferred to me...She didnt do anything purposefully...Maan...No Maan...control yourself...There should be no room for any more feelings...Just maintain this attitude otherwise she will take this as a beginning step to take you for a ride. Remember, she is just an employee at Khurana Construction.

DEER DEVIL...He is EVIL DEER DEVIL... But why is he so angry? I didn't do anything wrong...am I not a human being? I dont deserve even 10 minutes break? Its not that...there is something terribly wrong...Maan Sir has never been this angry on her...Is he angry on me or on something else? I hope this is just a bad day for him and in turn on me. Bhagawane...Avaruku enna prachanainu teriyalai...ellam sari pannidu (Babaji...I dont know what problem he is facing...please get everything alright)

She peeps into Maan's cabin every now and then...He really seemed to be tensed. Should I ask him If I can help somehow? No No Geet...better keep yourself away from all this...otherwise, you will be at the receiving end.

Geet kept herself busy with her business planning...she is confused whether to continue with her project planning or not...Maan Sir has not yet given her the permission to do so...but what's wrong in doing a preparation from my side?In no time the clock strikes at 6:00...she checks if she could tell him BYE...but still...not advisable to meet him. She tells Aadi sir before leaving.

She had to visit her professor in the university. She is all set and preparing for her unit tests which will add on to her semester results. Also she will need to submit some project reports as part of her syllabus...She meets the professor to get some guidelines to progress...She was also told to pay in the semistar fees on time.

She gets back home...

Hey Geet...kaisa tha aaj ka class? (How was your class today?)

Hmm..Good with a weak smile

What happened Geet...you dont look fine to me? You look sad and pale

Nothing like that Pinky...I am tired and also crowded. I have to prepare for my unit tests and also take care of office work...I am exhausted today and I am sure that I can organise myself well from tomorrow morning.

Geet...I was observing you at office...something was wrong today...did some one say anything to you?

Woh...Pinky, Boss was upset with me...dont know what's the reason.

That's all? Arre Geet...You are upset because you are getting to see his anger and bossy attitude for the first time...dont worry yaar...eisa hota rahtha hain (This keeps happening)

I told you even yesterday...these people are different from us...their society is different from us...hence, he keeps we employees in our place which he thinks that we are suppose to be in that place...

Geet is not thinking in line with Pinky...she is worried what's bothering her boss...Wondering what could be his problem

Geet and Pinky finish with their dinner. Geet spends some time preparing for her unit tests. She is taking her notes and preparing herself...she turns and shocked to see Maan Sir in front of her. He was standing strict...folding both his hands.

Sir..you...here at this time?

I just came here to tell you...I need the business planning and project planning reports by tomorrow morning

But sir...Are you sure I will handle the project planning as well?

Do what I say...I dont need any excuses...

Sir...I have already started preparing the report...see..

She finds Maan sir was not there.

She understood that she was hallucinating...but still she prepares what she just heard from Maan Sir...with a smile.

At KM...

Maan is busy working on his laptop and running thro some files...he turns around and finds Geet standing in front of him...

Geet...you here...

Sir...I just came to tell you that...

She looks straight into his eyes...How much ever you try to take me out of your mind...You can never make it.

Look... she vanishes by the time he moves towards her

Was it a hallucination? Why am I thinking about her to this extent? Enough is enough...I will not allow her to rule my mind...What was she saying? I will never be able to take her out of my mind? She will soon realise who has won...

But what is it that is attracting me to her? He runs thro series of incidents from the day he met her first time in the office till the time they went for the meeting together to Noida...BAS...BOHUTH HO GAYA...AB AUR NAHIN (Enough...This is the limit and No more of this). I have to keep myself away from Geet... If she is away from me, there will be no feelings what so ever. That's the solution. NO BODY CAN CHANGE ME...MAAN SINGH KHURANA WILL BE THE SAME LIKE BEFORE.

Next day...

Geet gets coffee for Maan...

GOOD MORNING SIR... 😊 with a smile...But no answer from Maan.

Sir...Your coffee...Still no answer from him. She leaves from there thinking he is still in his bad mood.

Maan had asked Aadi to get the Meeting room ready for an important meeting...Aadi comes to Geet and informs her about this...

But Aadi Sir, Maan sir could have told this to me why he tells this to you and you tell me? I am his secretary right?😕

Geet...these are the routines that keeps happening in the office...don't take it seriously...There must be something important which I can handle and you cannot handle...that could be the only reason. Dont worry dear😊

Aadi sir...I wanted to ask you some thing

Yes Geet...

Sir...I need some money in advance to pay my semester fees...can I take some advance money from office? You can deduct it from my salary on a monthly basis.

Geet...shouldn't be a problem..just put the details in a letter and give it to me and I will process it as soon as possible.

Thank You...Thank You Aaadi Sir.😊

Even though Maan Sir didn't inform her about the meeting by himself...She starts preparing for the meeting agenda as usual. Also, she double checks the Business and Project plannings. She worked on it till midnight to get it completed.

At the meeting room...

Maan, Geet, Sasha, Tasha, Addi and few other staff were present.

Maan discusses about the key projects...To begin with he starts about Manisih's project...

Geet is all excited...SIR...I knew it...Manish's project was going to be discussed...I have prepared...

Maan shows his right hand at her gesturing her to stop talking...When Maan Singh Khurana Talks, nobody interferes.

Everyone look at each other...

Aadi is feeling bad for Geet...wonder what happened to Maan Sir. Sasha and Tasha give an evil smile to each other...😈

Geet's face got squeezed down to become small...she didn't expect this...

Why is he not talking to me...not even looking at me?

Maan Continues...

May I have the Business Planning report?

Geet gives him the report. He checks it.

Everybody, this is a new client in Noida, He is the owner of M & R Spice Company...and now he is interested to venture into Real Estate business.

Sasha...you will handle this project...Look at the details...

Geet is shell shocked...

All you need to remember is that Manish is a different person all together. His taste and preferences is completely different compared to other clients that we have... but we managed to convince him that the entire project shall be supervised by the Khurana Constructions.

Oh That's great MK...I will take care of this project...

Geet gathers enough courage to talk...

Ssir...I have prepared this project planning report as well... She gives him the report

GEET...who gave you the permission to do so?

Sir...She thinks about what happened last night...it was her imagination which she took it so seriously...

Tell me...Oh...I asked you to do Hegde & Son's project and now, you are taking me for granted?

Sir...Its not that..I prepared it because Manish liked my presentation...

So what Geet? Remember you are working here as my PA and Business Analyst...your Analysis report is done...that's it...Dont forget that you are not suppose to interfare in other's business...Sasha is the one who handles Project planning...you dont have any right to interfare in her business

Sasha is in her cloud 9 with happiness.

Aadi is feeling helpless for Geet's situation.

Geet is not able to believe what she has been hearing...is this Maan Sir who is talking or am I dreaming.

Now..Why are you people still sitting here? Isnt there enough work to do? Comeon...carry on with your works...

Everyone leaves and Geet is still not able to come out of her grief...Why..why is he so upset with me? I must ask him this...there is something seriously wrong. He is angry with me for sure...

Maan comes back to his cabin...he checks the things which he has been carrying from the Meeting room...he got Geet's project plan by mistake...He is about to open it?

Why am I wasting my time on this? She is not going to handle it anyways...so what's the point running thro it?

Surprisingly, he doesnt throw it in the trash bin...he keeps it safe in the table drawer.
