Maneet FF - GEETIKA - Thread 1 - UPDATED PT 62 IN NEW THREAD - Page 7

PART 40:

Geet gives a hug to Daadi before she leaves. Daadi is confused with what's up with her grandson...need to find out what's going on.

Daadi comes back home a bit late. She is still lost in her thoughts...what if Sasha has really succeeded? How can I find out? Aadi is the only relyable source...she calls him on his mobile.

Hello DD...DDaadi

Hello Aadi beta...

Aadi...I need to know something very important...Please keep it confidential and within you and dont even check with Maan.

Sure Daadi

How is this Sasha behaving in office? I mean, is she trying to trap Maan?

Dd...Daadi...why are you asking this?

I came to know that there is something going on between Sasha and Maan...Now tell me is it true?

DD..Daadi...Its true that Sasha has been trying to trap Maan Sir and she has been trying for the last 5 years...but its not true that there is something going on between both. Maan sir never even considers her presence until and unless there is any work related issues.

Daadi takes a sigh of relief.

Aadi Thank you so much for making me feel light at heart...But promise me that you will let me know if you find anything fishy between Maan and Sasha.

SS...Sure Daadi

Daadi keeps the phone. Aadi is confused. What's happening to Daadi...she was earlier enquiring about Geet and then Sasha.

Daadi did observe that Maan is hard bent to get back to his tough Attitude and to prove that he's not changing. He keeps spitting fire for silly reasons.

At KM..Maan has been completely avoiding Geet. Even if there is any important task to be done from her side, he would instruct Aadi to get the work done.

Geet would make his morning coffee and would always greet him GOOD MORNING with a smile...but he completely ignores it...he doesnt want to get into any talk or discussion which will loosen him again. But Geet never even failed once when it came to her responsibilities.

Geet has been seriously preparing for her unit test and project submission. Eventhough she has been following Daadima's advise to consider this as a passing phase and concentrate on studies...she is really finding it pinchy that her boss has completely stopped talking to her. She did find some reasons to go to Maan's cabin and check if he needs any help but he would simply ask her to leave or would comment something rude...hence she has decided to take each and everyday as it comes.

Sasha again tries all her tricks to bring Maan to her trap but again she failed miserably everytime.

----------------

At Pinky's res...

Evening time...Geet and Pinky get back home after busy office hours...and they find the doors to be open...

Geet...yeh darwaza kis ne khola (Who opened this door?)

Pinky...there must be some thief inside...Lets be careful

Both look at the home...everything was fixed to their respective places and doesnt show any trace of Robbery

Geet and Pinky were looking at one direction and...

SURPRISE...Meera screams on top of her voice.

Geet and Pinky turn to look at her with a jerk...and take a phew by realising its Meera.

Arre Meera...tum ne tho dara hi diya yaar.

That's Meera...She comes with a bhang!

You had the keys?

Pinky...I was sure your neighbour will have a key...Requested it from them...anyways, they knew me as I was here for few days last time.

Meera...Myself and Pinky have some important work to finish...you fresh up...will be back in 30 mins

Pinky is shocked why is Geet telling this?

Pinky...come lets go

Both come out of home and Get into a taxi...Bhaiya...please go to TASTY PASTRY

GEET ...Yeh kya ho raha hain? (Whats happening?)

Arre Pinky...Meera is here

So

Its her Birthday tomorrow

What?

I want to give her a surprise...That's why didnt tell her anything.

Oh cool yaar.

Both Reach the pastry shop and place an order for a chocolate cake and flowers.PLEASE Make sure to deliver it before 11:50 PM tonight.

At night, 11:45 PM...Meera was fast Asleep

Geet waits near the entrance so that the pastry delivery boy doesnt use the bell and disturb Meera. She collects the cake and the flowers from the delivary boy.

5 mins to hit 12:00 AM and both Geet and Meera lit the candle on the cake and arrange the flowers near it...do a bit of decorations and balloons ready.

Sharp at 12:00 AM...Geet & Pinky take one balloon each in their hand burst it and...

SURRRPRIIISE both scream taking incharge on either side of Meera..

Meera screams and wakes up...and finds her room is decorated and cake and flowers are arranged

Geet and Pinky Huged her...HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Meera was initially angry on them for waking her up...now she is soo happy to get this wonderful surprise which was least expected by her.

Arre Geet...Pinky...you people remembered my Birthday...How sweet yaar

Oye Meera, how can we forget yaar?

Meera got emotional with tears in her eyes...

Meera..what is this yaar...Please dont cry on such an occation

See...You are spoiling our mood now.

Meera instantly hugs Geet and Pinky...Thank you my friends thank you so much...I am really blessed to have friends like you.

Meera cuts the cake and the trio have a great get together for next one hour...it was only them...no one else, they had some dance, snacks, soft drinks...along with their long chitchatting and then...the trio dozed of to sleep.

Maan remains quite.

Well ...Sasha as I told you I have lot of work... will talk later.

MK..Please dont mind me telling you this as I am your well wisher and she leaves from there.

Maan closes his eyes and opens his eyes to look thro the blinds...Geet was keeping herself busy with some reports that Aadi had asked her to prepare. He is lost in her and thinks about the time when Geet had joined Office...some good moments...He closes his eyes...NO NO Maan...what Sasha says is right...maintain a safe distance with your employees.

There is a knock in the door and Aadi walks in

SS..Ss..sir...you called me?

Yes...2 things

Is Geet done with the reports? I need them in next half and hour

Sure SS...SS..Sir

And what's happening on the bank loan facilities to be provided to the customers who are willing to buy the flats from our Gurgaon project?

Sir...I have been approaching lot of banks...its still not working out...they have lot of rules..

Have you approached private banks?

I did but they willing to agree only on high interest rates and this will actually go against the will of the customers.

Aadi...we have promised them that the bank loan part is our responsibility. Now I need this problem to be sorted out in next one week.

But SS..SSir...

No more excuses

Aadi comes back to his cabin.

Geet joins him in next minute

Aadi sir...the report is ready...please check for any mistakes...will correct it immediately.

Thank you Geet...Everything seems to be fine

Aadi is very quite..not in his usual self...

Aadi Sir...But you dont seem to be fine. what happened? Why are you so quite? Is everything all right?

Geet...Its something between me and boss...you will not understand.

Aadi Sir...We are good friends right? Then please tell me...I would atleast support you to some extent.

Geet...Our project in Gurgaon is all ready and the flats are not selling. Many of the locals are interested but are requesting us to provide them loan facility as well. We have promised them this facility but its not working out. I have checked with all leading government banks here..but nothing working out.

Geet thinks for a while...and suddenly a idea strikes her.

VENKAT UNCLE...Geet screams in excitement

Geet...What happened? Are you alright?

Oh sorry sir...I mean...Do you remember my Appa is employed with a leading govt bank...Venkat Uncle is Appa's friend and colleague who is is settled down in Delhi and handling Delhi related operations. Let me check with him.

She calls venkat uncle from her mobile and requests help in this regard...Venkat asks her to fix up an appointment and meet him with the gurgaon project report. Geet cuts the call..

Aadi Sir...Venkat uncle has called us to his office. What to do now...can meet him only when boss is not here.

That's a great news Geet...but Why only when boss is not around?

Aadi Sir...I dont want boss to know that I am helping you out on this. He will again mistake me thinking I am interfaring in other's work. But I am not thinking in those terms, I want KC and that Gurgaon project customers get benefited and get what they deserve.

Tik hain geet...Maan sir has an important meeting with Mr. Chopra...he will be out of office during morning hours...So, fix up a meeting with Mr. Venkat at 10:00 AM.

Sure Aadi sir...

Geet had some free time left till she leaves from the office. She is seriously preparing for her unit tests that's all set to begin on the next day.

Geet and Pinky return home...

Meera has been eagerly waiting for them...

Hey Birthday Girl...How was your day today?

Hey...guess what? Yash had kept a surprise for me too...He had arranged for a surprise party for me...

Hey...that's really nice.

Now...girlz...get ready..

For what?

I am going to treat you...Yash is also joining me.

Oh wow...Pinky is all excited.

But Meera...I have to prepare for my unit tests...you people carry on and give my regads to Yash

Geet...Nothing doing...you are coming with me and that's final.

But my test is tomorrow...

Its tomorrow not today right? I know you very well you would have already prepared for it and you will top up in test scoring

But Meera...

Nothing doing...Also, I have got a smart party ware for you...please dont come in chudidar.

Meera...why all this?

Because I am treating you at TRIDENT SQUARE...its a place where you must wear some sort of western attire...

WOW...TRIDENT SQUARE...That's pretty interesting...I will wear the best of the western attire that I have. Pinky is super excited now

Par...Par...

Yeh kya Par...Par laga rakha hain...Come lets get ready...We need to be there by 8:00...Yash will come to pick us up in next one hour.

Meera had got a nice and elegant pink dress for Geet. It was looking perfect on Geet as if that dress was made for her.

All 3 girls were ready on time when yash came to pick up. Meera is about to introduce him to Geet and Pinky..

Wait wait...let me guess...you are Pinky...and you are Geet...Right?

CORRECT

I guess Meera had shown our pictures to you.

No No...but she did mention a lot about you friends and she has been doing this since morning...See my ears are swollen and even bleeding now.

Meera makes a baby face. Geet and Pinky giggle at Meera's plight.

Well...that's really amazing...I was preparing myself to give an extra allowance of 30 minutes as I assumed you girls will be surely late in getting ready

HAH...so funny...I dont know why all guys think same about girls..

Infact we are waiting for you for past half an hour.

Hmm...I'm impressed...Ab challen?

They reach Trident Square. Yash and Meera has been here before for some business meeting...But it was a first time for Geet and Pinky. The place is very different...its been divided 4 to 5 partitians...one exclusively for official and business meetings...one for youngsters for partying and discothec, One for family, one for special events...All partitions are open and one could have an acess and view to all partitions...It had a centralised bar.

Yash had booked a seat for 4 at the Youngsters section...

So, what you people would like to have?

We dont know yaar..you suggest..

You get excellent pizzas over here...You can choose a variety of toping..So, lets begin with Pizzas

Yash suggested...why dont you and Pinky select one vergetarian and one non-vegetarian pizza?

Geet, do you have any preference for vegetarian toping?

Anything would do...

Both Pinky and Meera leave from there.

Yash is so happy to have got some time to spend with Geet...

Geet...Meera has been telling a lot about you...

Yash holds her hand and I must say YOU ARE THE ONE...

WHAT?

I mean...you are the one who can help me

Geet is not able to understand what he's coming to say..unable to judge his intentions.

Geet...from the day I have met meera, I have fallen for her. She is the ideal match for me. But she is not taking me seriously when ever I talk to her about it, she cuts me off.

Geet takes a long breath with a relief.

Geet... By the way, is she liking someone at the moment?

NO

Then...Please tell me what kind of guy she likes...

Well...to be honest...she likes guys who dont follow her...

She likes guys with an attitude...

What? That's her stupidity...I am a jovial person by nature but not a flirt...I have never shown my personal liking for a girl...Its only Meera.

I am telling you na...its just her thinking which she has been blindly believing right from her school days. I know she has been incorrect in this term as she is still a kid in this term...not matured enough to understand the true meaning of love and relationship...But you can change it Yash

How?

They both do a plan.

Yash suggests to follow what meera thinks about him...his flirtish skills...hence he plans to get into the dance floor with Geet...later after getting back to work...he will start showing least importance in her...that will help things taking its own shape.

So Geet...are you with me today

Yash...to be honest, I dont like to dance in discothecs...but I will surely do it today just for few minutes as that will be the first step to pacify your relationship with my friend...and beyond anything, I found you to be an ideal match for her...and I want her to realise this.

Just a sec...let me check what's the status of meera and pinky's pizza toppings...

Yash goes to check and Geet is waiting for him to come back

Just then, Maan comes to the business launge of Trident Square as the client has requested him to meet here. The client will be leaving for a one month long tour and hence Maan suggested to meet here because of the tight schedule of the client.

Mr. Maan what would you like to have?

Hmm...any simple cocktail would do.

The client places the order and both get into serious business talks...

Just then he got to see Geet sitting on the other side of the trident square. She was alone...wearing a pink dress adding on to her fair complexion...she was looking even more beautiful now. Maan ignores it for a while thinking its just his imagination...its some other girl for sure..how can it be Geet? Have you lost it?

He again seriously looks at her and then surprised to see that it was Geet and no doubt about it. She was wearing a neat pink dress...a party dress which she never wears...she had tied her hair into a pony..simple makeup...no bindi on her forehead...everyone were looking at her. Even Maan was mesmerized and lost in her to such an extent that he found himself walking towards her direction holding his drink in his hand. The client has been screaming his name from behind.

Maan stops after seeing Yash coming near her.

Oh this is Yash Malhotra...and Why is he with Geet...

At geet-yash table

Yash comes down and sits near Geet...Meera is about to come any time here...lets start with our romantic dance...

Yash looks at Geet and holds her hand...Geet...Meera is really lucky to have a friend like you...and now onwards, even I am luckier to get a new friend like you.

Maan is fuming with what he is seeing...Yash holding Geet's hand...

Yash and Geet leave to the dance floor...both holding eachother's hand and having a slow romantic dance

By now...Maan's face had turned completely red and he is getting restless with their each and every move...Oh..Now I understand...I heard that Yash was looking for a PA to assist him in his business...I understand the position is not filled...So, Ms. Geetika has decided to leave KC to join Indian Paints company...I dont see any other reason. So Ms. Geetika, you turned to be yet another woman who tried to impress me in your own way...when you couldn't succeed, you started looking for other options...All bulls*** what you gave me last week...you have respect for Khurana Constructions and you'll not leave them...I am a stupid to have believed you somehow...With this thought...Maan holds his drink glass so tightly that it breaks into pieces. Least did he know that the position with Indian Paints is already filled up and Meera is the one who has been assigned that role.

Maan Snaps out of his thought when his client calls out his name

Mr. Maan...Is all fine with you

Yes...I am interested in this deal...kindly let me know your interest..

That's Gr8 Maan...I am very much interested...this meeting is just a formality. Will arrange to send the documents for signature thro my assistant...thank you so much Mr. Maan to take this valuable time and meeting me.

Thank You...And he leaves from there without even looking behind.

Yash and Geet dance till the time Meera and Pinky comes near them...

Geet...you were a person who is never interested in Dancing in such a place...Hmm

Yash and Geet could see that their plan is working out...

Meera...See, that's Yash Malhotra...I requested her and she obliged...How could geet request such tempting offer.

Geet stammers but controls...Ha Haan Meera...how can I say no when Yash Malhotra requested me?

Pinky and Meera look at Geet with a shock...But Meera Thinks...I must say This Yash has a spark in him...see, a girl like Geet is praising him.

They come back to their respective dining table...finish their dinner and leave before it gets late.

PRECAP: So...Are you trying to seduce me?

PART 41:

Haan Meera...how can I say no when Yash Malhotra requested me?

Pinky and Meera look at Geet with a shock...But Meera Thinks...This Yash has a spark in him...see, a girl like Geet is praising him.

They come back to their respective dining table...finish their dinner and leave before it gets late.

Yash manages to talk to Geet once again when Meera and Pinky went into the wash room before leaving from Trident square

Geet...I am so excited...MEERA IS JEALOUS...I cant believe it...I am just enjoying this Jealousness in Meera...Shall I continue a bit more? Shall I praise you in front of her...Infact you really look beautiful Geet...😉

YASH...You are a real flirt I must say😡

Oh Geet...I am trying to tell you the truth and I dont have freedom of speech? This is not done.

Haan Haan...the problem with you guys is you use this freedom in a wrong place, wrong time and in a wrong situation.

Now...comming to the point...This much jealousiness dose is enough for today...dont just talk anything about me or whatever happened in Trident Square until and unless Meera starts the topic...IS IT CLEAR? I dont want to spoil her mood.

OK OK...Now how shall we plan for next?

Give me a call around 8:45 to 9:00 AM tomorrow morning. We have already planned but need to execute the plan correctly.

On their drive back...Yash driving the car. Meera sitting in the front seat, Geet and Pinky take the back seat. Meera seemed to be totally disturbed...nothing against Geet as this is the first time Geet got to see Yash...and I will never doubt Geet's intentions...Geet never gives into to any guy that easily but what about Yash? ...I knew he is a flirt...he has been behind me always...now he is behind Geet...No No...

Yash...why did'nt you dance with me? You didnt even bother to ask me and you offered Geet

Arre Meera...you and Pinky took such a long time to place an order...hence I offered Geet to dance just to pass the time...

But I am the birthday girl...

That's why we all agreed that the Birthday Girl will place order of her fav dish

Geet interfares now...Oye Meera...what happened dear? Why are you arguing on such a silly issue...Yash is correct...we just danced to pass time...that's all...Now chill na yaar. Why are you taking tension birthday girl?...Chill

Tension..who is taking tension...I am fine see...I was just curious to know what Yash was upto...and she stares at Yash...that's it...and she gives a fake smile.

Geet and Yash were smiling thinking their plan has started working. Yash drops the three girls home...and bids good bye

Before going to sleep, Meera hugs Geet and Pinky as again her flight is scheduled for next morning

Geet...Pinky...Thank you so much for making my Birthday so special.

Anytime dear.

Geet...Even your Birthday is nearing...I wish I could be with you on that day...You made my Birthday to be a special event and I...

Oh Meera...Its so thoughtfull of you to remember my Birthday... I am sure you will call me to wish me like you always do...that's more than enough...So, dont get into such stupid thoughts. Challo...Good Night...Its already late...we all need to wakeup early.

Geet was about to leave from there and Meera cought her hand...

Geet...I just wanted to ask you some thing...

Hmm

Did Yash misbehave with you while dancing with you? I mean...did he try to touch you here and there?

What question is this Meera? Why this question in the first place?

Yash is a big flirt you see...he doesnt leave any chance to flirt with me...but I dont know if he does the same to other girls...that's why I asked you.

Not really...I found him to be a good guy...he didnt misbehave with me atall...and secondly, why are you so worried about his acts? By the way...During your last stay here, you clearly mentioned that you are not interested in him...then why are you giving room to unnessary questions?

Geet is trying to know her state of mind. Anyone could read tension and confusion on Meera's face. Its obvious that what she is saying and thinking are two different things.

Woh tho hain yaar (That's there yaar)...but still

What still? Its a waste to think about Yash if you are not interested in him...So why are you taking unnecessary tensions? Now go to sleep...Good Night!

Good Night!

Next day...

Geet and Pinky leave from home and Meera gets ready to take her flight back to Mumbai.

Geet and Pinky were about to get into the lift and just then Yash calls for her.

Hie Yash...

I'm curious to know if there is any AFTER SHOCK reaction yesterday.😳

Yah...Meera was asking too many questions... You know what's the biggest surprise to me? She always used to ask about my boss...Mr. Maan Singh Khurana...She used to droll over him so much...but not even once she enquired about him this time. 😆

I must say our first step worked...and now...remember what I told you yesterday...don't try to be a soft boss to her...Show some attitude...Praise other's work...and

Geet..Geet...I am not used to this rough and tough attitude...

Then get used to it...

What if she decides to quit Indian Paints...

Yash...You are the Boss...use your sense...Remember...She has signed 2 years contract with Indian Paints.

Arre Wah Geet...You are so cunning..I never knew...😛

YASH...Are you praising me or teasing me? I am breaking my head to give you ideas and you are teasing me...not done...I am cutting the call😡

GEET...GEET...Hey...please yaar...you are the only hope that I have...

Hmm..that's better. Now you need to balance yourself in proving your self as a good boy as well as a bad boy...Do you get me?

Oh yaah...Patha nahin aur kya kya banna padega tum ladkiyon ke chakkar main (Wonder what all I need to do because of you girls)

Geet Giggles...😆OK BYE YASH

She cuts the call and turns to see Maan was standing just behind her. All Maan had heard is her giggling and name of YASH...His eyes was spitting fire and he was controlling his anger by clinching his fist...

Ayyo bhagawane...eppo thaan ivaroda kovam theerumo? (Hey babaji...when will his anger come to an end?) She still accumulates her guts and greets him...Good Morning Sir with her usual smile. He didnt bother to answer her. He gets into the lift and she runs behind him to get into the lift ...but it was too late.

Ippo edhuku kovam? Naan enna seinjen? Yen "Good Morning" ku badul sollalame...Naan ennamo "Good Morning" Kadanukka keten? (Why he's angry now? What did I do now? When he heard my Good Morning, he could return my Good Morning atleast...he is behaving as if I am asking it for Credit)

She takes the next lift...Is he angry because I am late...She checks her watch it was still 10 mins to 9:00...I am not late and is it my mistake if he has come earlier to office today? She looks at the roof and prays..Bagawane...Bossa Kaapathu (Babaji...save boss)

She reaches her cabin and she immediately rushes to the pantry to prepre two hot mugs of coffee...and she reaches Maan's cabin

Sir...Good Morning...your coffe...Maan is standing facing the wall...Yesterday's incident at Trident Square and her talk with Yash this morning was flashing in his mind and he is tightening his grip on his hand to control himself to the maximum possible extent...He is not even willing to look at her face. She leaves from there...as she is used to his Arrogance filled silence by now.

Geet calls Aadi on the intercom

Aadi sir...Is Maan Sir's morning meetings confirmed?

Yes Geet

So, Let me remind Venkat uncle about our meeting with him at 10:00 AM...Please keep all the reports and the necessary documents ready with you.

Sure Geet

At Sasha-Tasha cabin...

Tasha...I have been noticing that Boss is not even talking to Geet...Eisa kab tak challega? (Till when its going to go on like this?)

SASHA...Mera matlab hain...Maa'm...What are you saying? You want Boss to continue his talking with Geet?

No No Darling...I Want something more spicy...I want him to scold her..screme at her...The last time he did that was in the meeting room...I expect more out of him

So Maa'm what shall we do now?

Need to plan on this

Sasha happen to check that Geet was leaving her cabin taking her hand bag. Aadi joins her. Sasha checks with Pinky over the intercom

Pinky where is Geet and Aadi going?

Maa'm...They have some work with the bank.

Did they say when they'll be back?

Probably by 11:30 AM

Sasha cuts the call

Why Geet is going with Aadi? Anyways, she'll not be in office for next two hours and that's all matters.

Maa'm what are you saying? I am not able to follow anything..Tasha is confused.

Tasha...Geet is not there...now..I have a master plan.

Sasha-Tasha lock their Conference room to plan it confidentially.

Tasha...you need to get this done without leaving any trace behind.

Sure Maa'm

Tasha slowly moves into her cabin...sends the email from Geet's official email ID..which was dictated by Sasha. Tasha didnt know which restaurant address to add...she looks at a "Delhi Guide" book on Geet's table...she turns to see the high fy "Eat-Outs" in Delhi and added one of the prominent international Restaurant's name and address into the email and clicks on "Send" button. And she made sure to delete the email from the "Sent" items.

Tasha slowly moves out of Geet's cabin making sure no body sees her and comes back to Sasha's cabin

Maa'm Done...and shows her thumps up

Gr8 Work Tasha...Ab dekhna...Geet ka kya haal hota hain...I must say... "POOR GEET"...and smirks😈

At the bank...

Geet introduces Aadi to Mr. Venkat...and Aadi shows the project planning, documents and other things.

Uncle...this is a great project...trust me Khurna Constructions will not let you down.

Geetika...you neednot even mention this...I trust you more than anything else and I am sure when you are referring this project, it should be much more than the worth.

Aadi was surprised and was smiling at Geet. Venkat checks the papers.

Aadi...Everything seems to be perfect...I need to discuss this with the key people in the Management level and come back to you

Sir is it really possible?

It should be...I will ensure to get this done...but please wait till I confirm back to you.

Thank you sir...You know...All other banks have let us down because of their tough rules or high interest rates

Even we have some rules...But I must say that you have come over here on a right time...we have many new branches opened across India...now, the primary rule is you need to get this project signed in our new branch opened in the outskirts of Gurgaon so that their branch gets this huge benefit and being new branch they will give more value added services to their customers.

Venkat uncle...This will infact be a great idea...Both Bank and the customers are getting benefitted with this...Thank you so much.

Thank you sir...We will wait till we hear your confirmation.

Geet and Aadi get back to office...

Geet took a sigh of relief by seeing her boss is not back from the meeting yet. She didnt have much of work to do and she was preparing herself for her unit tests that's scheduled to be held in the evening.

Maan has been busy meeting few clients thro out the day...somewhere he has been angry and disturbed. He comes back to office around 5:00 PM. Geet happens to see him thro blinds. He was all busy checking his emails on his laptop and she carries on with what she has been doing.

Maan got to check one of the emails with subject "Hello Darling" and his mouth wide open in shock by reading the contents. He cross-checked the email again and the email ID...initially he couldnt believe but then confirmed that all he has been reading was true...

How dare she? On one side she was dating with Yash Malhotra and on other hand she is sending me such an email today...Its time to give her a good peace of mind

Maan calls her on her intercom

Yes Sir...

MERE CABIN MAIN AAO

Even though he sounded tough over the phone...Geet is excited that he has called her for the first time in last 10 days. She is running thro here and there searching for her notepad and hits her head and smiles at her own plight when she finds it on the table.😳

She makes sure to knock his room before she enters...

COME IN

Geet smiles at him and he gives a stare at her.

He gets up from his seat...So Ms. Geetika...what are you upto? I am seeing you are really progressing a lot...way beyond my imagination.

Geet looks at him surprisingly...Sir...What are you saying? I am not able to understand.

Oh yaah...Girls like you first do such a shameful act and then act innocent.

Sir...Please tell me clearly what are you trying to say

Oh...so, you really don't know what you did today? Ok fine...let me start from the beginning...What's your intension in sending that email?

Which email you are talking about?

The email which you sent me today

Sir...I didn't send you any email today. The last email that I sent you was 2-3 days back and that too forwarded you a client's request. She has been talking patiently till now

"OH Maan Darling...

Geet is shell embarrassed to read this out...but she gathers enough courage.

For how long you are going to be angry with me? I know not for too long... and lets transform this Boss-Secretary relationship and give a new meaning to it...

Geet closes her eyes for a while and continues...

Oh Darling...lets begin with an evening of togetherness...Meet me at SUSHI DELIGHT tonight at 9:00 PM. Love, GEET "(She doesnt read the adress out)

Which place is this? I am sure that its one of the high fy restaurants here.Poor Geet...actually doesn't even know what Sushi is in the first place. Maan's anger and attitude has reached a level which didn't make him realise that she is a pure vegetarian.

The email draft in her hand slowly slips from her hand to the floor but she didnt realise it as she embarrassed to the core that she had to read such an email in front of him...But she didnt sent it. She is not able to look into his eyes.

Now tell me...what is the purpose of sending me this email?

Sir...this email is not sent by me.

Read the ID...isn't it yours? You mean to say that this email came to me by itself.

Sir...This email ID is mine and I am not denying that...But its not sent by me. I dont know who used my email and for what purpose.

GEET...come on...come to your senses...You were in the office for the whole day. why should someone else email me from your ID.

But sir...She couldn't tell him that she was out of office with Aadi and she remains quite.

You might have not expected me to refuse your invitation date and now that I am refusing it, you are trying to behave as if you didn't send this email.

Geet is not able to take those harsh words...

What is this? Are you trying to seduce me in such a way? I am not such a person who entertains all this...remember that.

By giving you some independence and space...and by accompanying you to that south Indian restaurant...you cannot take that as an advantage.

Geet has all tears in her eyes She couldnt believe that its Maan who is talking like this.

Hah...FAMILY...ofcourse, unhen kya maloom hoga ki unki beti yahan akele main kya kya gul khilarahin hain! Ho saktha hain, unhon ne hi tumhe sikhake bejha ho (How do your family will ever know that their daughter's true colurs while living here all alone...Or may be they are the one who have been training you)

SIR...ENOUGH...I never knew you are filled with so much of bitterness...you don't know anything about my life and my family...so, please what ever you need to talk about me please do so...but you have no right to pin point about my family.

Aur sir...please think twice before pouring your harsh words...Otherwise, you will hate yourself once you know the truth.

Ms. Geetika Iyer...I don't need to learn from you as I am not like you and dont want to be like you.

You are correct...You can never be like me...and I never want to be like you...they both look into each other's eyes filled with anguish.

She composes her mind to relax for a minute and then talk...Excuse me sir...Its getting 6:00 PM...can I leave? is there any other important task?

Maan turns his face to the side of the wall...and no answer from him...she leaves from his cabin and goes to check her sent items in her email. There was no such email. It was clear that someone has sent it using her email ID and erased it from the sent items.

Geet takes her bag and leaves from her cabin and she hears Tasha and Sasha taunting at her...

You know Tasha...I was mentioning this to MK that not to give so much importance to the junior staffs as they belong to a category who don't take a minute to show their TRUE COLOURS...

Geet turns back and stares at her...

I mean...see how true it proved to be today...and Smirks.😈

Good try...Date invitation thro email...WOW...Tasha Smirks...😈

Geet comes towards them...

Tasha...how did you know that Email Matter and its content when only Me and Boss were suppose to know it. Boss just came back from meeting and checked his emails and I haven't told anybody about this incident...So..how come you knew it?

Sasha and Tasha were looking at each other...as if they are caught in an act. Tasha got all nervous...rolling her eyes and looking here and there...

What are you thinking Tasha?...Speak up!

She comes close to Tasha and holds her shoulder with her right hand...

Dear...next time when you do a mistake and that too purposefully...make sure you do it in a way where you never get caught in the act by opening your own deeds in front of others... Hmm? ...and remember one thing...who ever getting these cheap work done thro you...she looks at Sasha they are the one who will show their TRUE COLOURS...and when you are caught in the act, they escape without even bothering to help you.

she leaves from there with a fake smile...as if she is not much effected with what ever happened today...but only she knew how difficult was it to pretend like one.

Precap: "Sir..I am sure you'll be proud of me this time"

She leaves from there with a fake smile...as if she is not much affected with what ever happened today...but only she knew how difficult was it to pretend like one. She was really disturbed. Today she had to visit Ganesh Temple.

At the temple...Bhagawane...yen enaku sodhanai mel sodhanai kodukirai?(Why are you giving me sorrows after sorrows) she closed her eyes and started praying and crying seeing the Ganesh idol. Then there is someone's hand on her shoulder and she turns to look around for the person.

DAADIMA...Geet hugs her and starts crying loudly. People around are looking at them.

Geet bete...kya hua? Come with me...Daadi takes her to the usual lonely place where they sit and talk.

Daadiima...Today that Deer Devil, that Ravan, that that..huh and starts crying again with sobs.

She silently enjoys Geet's words for Maan...but is worried for what her grandson has done to her now. Daadima wipes her tears...Geet bete...please stop crying and tell me what happened.

She is not able to control her tears still... email...sob sob...my email ID...I didnt do anything...Sob sob

What email? What are you saying? Compose yourself and tell me again.

My boss showed me an email printout saying it was sent by me...it was sent from my email ID but Daadi...believe me, it was not sent by me.

Daadi is wondering what's she trying to say...an email from her mail ID but not sent by her...how could it happen?

My Boss, that stupid idiot... I thought he knows me so well and I am also a stupid to expect him to not to believe that email. He believed that it was sent by me and he yelled at me pinpointing my charector, my family...how could he?

Arre...yeh tho batayiye...what was written in that email.

Daadi...that email is a Date-invitation...Chi Chi...the content of that email was so shameful.

Daadi teases Geet (just to relax her)...Arre wah Geet...ek tho aap eisi email bhejthe ho aur baad main use shameful kehthe ho (You are sending such email and also calling it shameful)

DAADIMA...Aap ko bhi mujhpe barosa nahin? (You too dont trust me?)...believe me, I didn't send that email.

Hey...relax bete..waise bhi, eise email bhejne main koi galthi nahin hain...ab batayiye, aap ne hi woh email bejha tha na.. (There's nothing wrong in sending such email...now tell me...you are the one who sent that email right?)There is no third person here...only you and me so, you can confess me...bolye na

Geet makes a angry baby face folding both her hands.

Acha baba...I just wanted you to feel relaxed. Gussa ho?

Daadima...how can I ever be angry with you?

Daadi smiles...acha..aap batarahi thi..what was in that email.

Daadi...Please dont mistake me with the contents of the email. It says... "OH MAAN DARLING"

Daadi chocks listening to this.

Daadi...please relax...there is more to come...

For how long you are going to be angry with me? I know not for too long...and lets transform this Boss-Secretary relationship and give a new meaning to it...lets meet at..." Daadima...I forgot which restaurant it is...making a baby face again.

Daadi is smiling at this girl's innocence but also worried for her. If she sent the email then how come she doesnt remember the restaurant name? That means, she really doesnt know anything about this email. Who could play such a dirty game in Office...And yeh Maan bhi na...he believes what ever he sees with out thinking or realising and then spits fire. The situation is going out of hand...I really dont want Geet to mitake Maan at any cost...let me think how to convince her.

Daadima...I dont even have time to breath...I have been preparing myself for test and project presentation. The first sets of tests are scheduled to happen in next half an hour. I will be exhausted by the time I get back home...and then, need to prepare for another test which will be 2 days later... I have no time what so ever...So, how can you imagine Dating inbetween all this?

Geet Bete...Do you remember our first meet in this temple? I told you, simply ignore and forget what ever happened...what is important now is you have a unit tests lined up today. Just be focused and concentrate on that as these all add up to your semistar exams...so, just leave all your confusions here in this temple. Dont carry your stress with you.

Geet taking long breath to compose herself. Once she's relaxed, Daadi continues.

I can understand that your Boss is really rude to you...But he had never been the same in the last two months isn't it? I mean did you ever find it this difficult to work with him during the first month of your work?

Geet nods for a NO

Let me tell you my POV...I feel he must be really crowded. I totally agree that his behaviour was not acceptable especially today when he pinpointed your charector and family...But I strongly feel that what ever he spoke today didnt have any control as his anger is taking over his mind and brain. So, just dont bother. Let him have his own time and space.

Daadi's POV took Geet back to the memory of the second day of her work and she closes her eyes to rewind what all happened on that day. Daadi...The first ever time Maan sir scholded me for making a presentation in front of client... and after he realised his mistake, he came all the way to my home to apologise to me.

Daadi keeps her hand on Geet's shoulder

When he felt sorry for that act...then he will really really feel sorry for what happened today as he has literally hit and abused me with his words...may be he will be ashamed...no no...I dont intend to make him feel like that. If he feels sorry, I will surely accept it and forget everything...may be his mind is over crowded.

Daadi smiles at her understanding

Even Paati (grandma) used to tell similar thing...People are not bad...what makes them bad is the words which they use when they are mentally stressed for some or the other reason...those words may not actually mean what they say.

I can understand that my boss told me so much today...but I know he is not a person who speaks like this.Geet holds Daadi's hands...Daadi...I owe a lot to you. I really can't explain how nice I feel after meeting you every time. After meeting you, I get answers to all the tough situations which I am dealing with.

Daadi smiles at her understanding...Geet hugs Daadi... I need your blessings Daadi...I need it desperately to achieve my test results.

Daadi bless her by gently holding her right hand on Geet's head. My blessings are always with you...Dont worry my dear...everything will be alright...All The Very Best and do well in your tests.

Geet leaves with a smile...Even though it is still disturbing...she is trying her level best not to think what happened today between her and Maan. She diverts her mind in recalling all what she prepared for her tests. She now reaches her university examination hall and she is glued to the question paper and the answer sheet for the next 2 hours.

At KM...

Daadi reaches home a bit late...On one hand, she is worried for Maan and his rude behaviour...surely its heading to nowhere. On the other hand, she admires Geet and her level of patience and understanding which she has towards her boss and to that matter towards anyone else. How will I ever tell her that I am the grandmother of that cruel boss of hers

Daadi...You are too late today...what happened? Annie asks a bit worriedly

Woh...I met that friend in the temple

Oh Daadi...not again.

You and your brother will never change..so leave it. Where is your Maan Bhai?

He's in the exercise room.

Daadi is really worried for her grand children...To begin with, this Annie doesn't give in easily to new friendship and relationship that easily...I am worried how she'll behave when she'll meet Geet. And this Maan...really don't understand when he'll come out of that HELL OF ANGER that's stopping him to think about other person's feelings...and then Dev, He is just irresponsible to the core. See...He planned all of a sudden to travel to Switzerland. he's honeymooning with his wife during the time when Maan requires him for assisting in business. May be Maan is really over stressed as he's handling the business all alone.

In the excersise room...Maan is kick boxing...He is fighting with his mind with what ever happened in office today...the harsh exchange of words... "You will hate yourself once you know the truth" Geet's words were hitting him back..but his one evil part of his mind is strongly ruling over him and forcing him not to think much about Geet...after all she is an employee and good you have shown her the place where she belongs...See, she was with Yash. What could the reason behind it be apart from...he stops thinking when Daadi calls for him

Maan bete...Daadi calls for him.

What's happening? Why are you behaving so rude now-a-days?

He takes the towel and wipes himself...Daadi...When did I behave rude with you? Am I not talking to you or spending enough time with you?

I am not talking about me...I am talking about your behaviour towards the world that's outside this Manscon

Daadi...I really dont know what's happening to you...but let me tell you...I need to be rough and tough to challenge this world.

Maan...remember your Daadaji...the one who started this business, he never showed such an attitude to people. He was so kind and soft hearted.

Yes Daadi...that's the reason he was taken for granted. That's the reason he was cheated many a times.

But Maan..

Daadi...I am really tired. I have lot of things to do as I will be out as I have important conferences to attend in Noida tomorrow...If required, I will extend my stay for the next day as well. Also call me only when there is something very important as I will be bottled up for next two days.

Maan leaves from there. Maan..I am really worried where will this attitude lead to...I am sure you'll realise this one day but I am worried that it will be too late for you to rectify it.

Next day:

At 9:00 AM...She prays the small idol of Ganesh which she has it on her side table. Bhagawane...Enaku boss mela endha kovame ellai. Aana avaruku enna kashtamo theriyallai. Ellam saripannidu. (Babaji...I am not angry with my boss...but I really dont know what's bothering him...please rectify it)

She then goes with her usual task of preparing coffees...she takes one mug to boss's cabin. She found her boss is not yet here. She closes the mug with the teapoy so that the coffee remains hot enough. She gets back to her desk and sipping hot coffe when she gets a call on her land line.

Hello Geetika

Hello Venkat Uncle...Good Morning!

Good Morning Dear...now let me give you a good news...I have discussed about your project with the management and also with the new Gurgaon Branch Manager. They all are highly positive about this project.

That's a great news uncle...Geet is excited.

The main excitement is that I suggested the management to lower the interest rate...I just tried suggesting them and it worked.

WOW...uncle you are a genious.

Geetika, I need to get the documentation part done and take the final approval...on getting the approval, need to arrange for the agreement papers which needs to be signed between the bank and the client.

How long will this process take?

It atleast takes 5-6 working days...but I am trying my best to get it done as early as possible.

Uncle...I am not able to accumulate enough words...Thank You So So much.

Oh dear...we need to be thankful to your organisation to have a trust on us in handing over this project.

They talk for a while and then Geet cuts the call.

Geet rushes out...and looks out for Aadi Sir and finally found him talking to Pinky at reception.

Aadi Sir...Aadi Sir...She rushes to the reception by screaming Aadi's name...

Geet...Geet Relax...Hey what happened? You look really happy today.

Aadi Sir...Bank has approved our project...and also reduced the interest rates...Now the documentation is under progress.

That's really a good news Geet...Congrats.

CONGRATS Geet...Pinky wishes her.

You know, sir will be really glad to hear this.

But where is he? He's not yet come to office.

That's what even i am thinking...usually sir comes on time...what's happened to him?

Aadi calls on boss mobile but its switched off.

HE's ATTENDING A CONFERENCE IN NOIDA. Says Sasha.

Both turn back towards Sasha and Tasha standing there.

Oh Geet...you are his PA, you must be knowing it right. By the way, he thought its important to be told to me than you...He called me personally and told me...and smirks.

Sasha's face turns pink in embaresment in front of the staff...Also worried if Geet tells what happened yesterday.

Geet continues... Its Maan sir who will decide who's position is loosing its importance...You dont decide that as you are just another employee here.Sasha taps her foot in anger and leaves from there. and Tasha follows her.

The rest of the staff are still standing there and discussing among them...

Geet talks a bit loudly...Aadi sir... I remember Maan Sir telling me that whenever he's out of office he checks on that day's activity by looking at the video recorded by the security cameras.

Oops...on hearling this...the staff who had gathered around began to run here and there. Many of them lost their way to their own desks... Geet and Aadi have a laugh at this.😆

Geet comes back to her cabin...

Maan Sir...Atleast now you will understand that I am attached to this organisation and not the salary and profile you are offering me...I am really eager to meet you and give you this bank approval news by myself...I am sure you'll be proud of me this time...a smile touches her face.

Maan Sir...At least now you will understand that I am attached to this organisation and not the salary and profile you are offering me...I am really eager to meet you and give you this bank approval news by myself...I am sure you'll be proud of me this time...a smile touches her face.

Aadi enters her cabin

Geet...He He...I must say that only you can handle Sasha...

Aadi Sir, I don't want to handle anyone...I just don't want any disturbance in my work and I dont spare anyone who unnecessarily interfares in my work...That's it.

Aadi Sir..I can't tell you how desperate I am to tell him this news...I know Maan Sir might get angry that I interfered in your work...but now, I have got used to his anger. Is Maan Sir coming to office today?

I doubt Geet...This is one of the important conferences happening in Noida where he get to see lot of other business tycoons. There is a possibility he comes to office in the evening. But doubt.

Oh this is not fair...She folds her hand and makes a baby face...

Oh Geet...you can be such a kid at times...Dont worry, if not today, tell it on Monday. And just enjoy your Sunday.

Hey...by the way, you didnt tell me how was your test yesterday.

Oh It was good...would have done it better if at all...She stopped thinking what happened yesterday evening...

If at all?

If at all I was not taking unnecessary tension. I was tensed as this was the first test of my MBA

Geet...It happens. Take it easy. When is your next set of tests?

Monday evening.

Don't take unnecessary tensions now. Anyways, Maan Sir is not around, you have enough time for today to prepare for your tests.

She smiles...Aadi leaves from there.

Hmm...so Deer Devil is in Noida...she smiles remembering the drive with boss till Manish Shah's office in Noida and series of incidents happened on that day. She closes her eyes and recalls how she bumped on Maan and how he lifted her.Edhuku adhellam nyabagathuku varudhu? Yen? (Why am I remembering all this? Why?)

She stops thinking much about anything and concentrates in preparing for next set of tests. Luckily there was no boss, no calls, very few emails which were not important, Sasha-Tasha were busy. She used this opportunity to prepare well for her university tests and also some advance preparations on her project... She had some hope of seeing Maan Sir till Evening...But he didn't come. She takes a sigh and leaves from office on time.

Geet leaves to temple straight away. Today is also important day in terms of Sankatahara chaturthi (Aurthor Note: This day appears once every 21 days. Ganesh temples are usually over crowded on this day)

Daadi on her way to temple. She gets a call from Maan.

Maan bete...boilye...how is the conference going on?

Daadi the conference is really interesting. I have decided to stay back here till tomorrow evening.

Beta...You should have come back today and take good rest for Sunday.

Daadi... Its a great opportunity and I don't want to miss out on this. You please take care of yourself and call me if there is anything urgent and important.

Sure beta...you take care of your self.

Both cut the call. Daadi gets into the temple. Geet joins her at the same time.

Hey Daadi...how are you?

Geet beta! I'm fine...you tell me how was your tests yesterday? I was really worried for you.

It was really Good. But Admit it could have been better. I somehow managed to recall all what I studied and prepared for the test. Now, I am preparing for the tests scheduled for Monday.

Oh that's great. And happy to see you look much better than yesterday...

Daadi knew Maan didn't go to office...but still she needs to fulfil her acting part.

I guess your boss was again nice to you today.

Nooo...he didnt come to office today. Makes a baby face in front of Daadi...Daadi smiles at her kiddishness.

It seems he had to attend a conference. But I am sure between yesterday and today, he would have understood it was not my mistake and I am sure he would have apologised to me if he had come to office today.

Geet...I have never seen such an understanding girl like you.

Both reach the top of the hill where the temple is located.

Today is chaturthi and the temple seems to be really crowded.

Yes beta...today is chaturthi and there will be some special pooja today. It will start in next 10 mins.

Geet and Daadi sit in their usual place and both chat for a while till the pooja begins. Today the temple seems to be over crowded and more people got in to witness the Pooja. Geet and Daadi praying by closing their eyes and just then the crowd seemed to push each other and someone in the crowd pushed Daadi..and she faints and falls down.

DAADI...DAADI...Geet is shocked not able to know what to do.

She takes Daadi in her arms and pats lightly on her cheeks..Daadi..please open your eyes.

Please someone get me water...Geet requests and someone gets it.

Geet sprinkles water on Daadi's face. Daadi opens her eyes slowly. Thanks god that she was not hurt. She slowly gets up by holding her head.

Are you fine Daadi?

She nods for Yes

Please drink water.

She drinks water and gets up.

Daadi...please sit down for a while.

No beta...I will take Arti and Prasad and then I'll leave. Daadi was not able to get up.

Please be here. I will get the Prasad for you.

Geet gets the Prasad for Daadi. Daadi is still not stable. Geet helps her all the while she was climbing down the stairs.

Geet..I am all fine you carry on.

Daadi...I am going to take you to your family doctor first.

No...its not necessary...its just a simple thing and I have high BP which added to the situation.

Nothing doing...she makes Daadi sit in the car and Geet gets into the same car.

Driver ji...take us to your family doctor.

Madam ji...what happend to you? The driver is also tensed what happened.

Kuch nahin (Nothing) the temple was over crowded and someone pushed me and I happen to faint and fall down.

This girl is correct...You need to get a check up done.

Oh god...You also joining this girl?

If saab (Maan) comes to know about it, he will blame me first. Madam ji, please call him and inform him.

Daadi gets tensed now. She is not prepared to call Maan in front of Geet.

Arre...dont worry he's busy for 2 days and don't want to disturb him. I dont think its a big issue. Daadi calls Annie and tell her that she will be late and not to worry.

The car stops at CARE Hospital. Geet holds Daadi's hand and take her to the respective Doctor. The doctor suggested that there's nothing serious. Its just a weekness and high BP added to it. She needs to relax and take rest for next few days. Doctor prescribed some medicines.

On way back to KM...

Geet beta...we are nearing Janakpuri area...tell me where exactly is your home.

Daadi...I will accompany you till your home.

No beta...Doctor told na...all fine and nothing to worry. I need to take good rest. That's it. See I am not finding difficult to walk.

Are you sure Daadi?

Sure beta.

Promise me you will take complete bed rest for next few days.

Sure...dont worry.

Driver ji...please stop the car.

Thanks Driver ji...Daadi...Its just 5 mins walk from here to home. You take care.

Bye Beta

Bye

Geet and Pinky finish with their dinner and go to sleep in their respective rooms.

At 11:55 PM...Some one knocks on Geet's room

Geet doesn't show any reaction and The knock sound increases...

Geet gets disturbed. Pinky...what is this? The door is open you can walk into my room any time.

The knock continues.

Pinky...She doubts if its Pinky...Who is it?

She switch on the table lamp near the bed and slowly moves towards the door. Its pitch dark outside.

Once she nears the door...and Geet screams when someone puls her hand...The lights gets on...and she slowly opens her eyes to see the hall was decorated with decoration papers, baloons, candles... Birthday cake and snaks arranged on the table.

Geet's mouth is wide open with Amusement. Pinky runs to her and hugs her.

Pinky...Thank you so much darling. I never knew you remembered my Birthday.

I did remember and Meera was also constantly reminding me so that I dont forget. We all were planning this from the day we celebrated Meera's Birthday.

And Aadi Sir...You have given me a shock of my life...I least expected you to even remember my Birthday.

Geet...I keep checking the employee records and happen to see your records recently. Also Pinky told me that she is planning a surprise Birthday bash...I volunteered to join...that's it.

Sir..Thank you so much...I was missing my family...but you both made me feel so comfortable...This is one of the happiest Birthdays for me.

Oh sweety..the day has just began...wish all happiness for the rest of the day.

Geet cuts the Birthday Cake...Aadi, Pinky join cheering her up.

Meera calls her...Happy Birthday Birthday Girl.

Thanks Meera...and thanks for the surprise party.

You told me that day...NO saying THANKS...And now...Just enjoy your Birthday Girl

I am really very very happy today...and I wish you were here.

No worries dear...I will not spare you...you need to treat me for your Birthday when I visit Delhi next time.

SURE...I will be waiting for you.

Appa Amma called for you?

They have wished me in advance and they will call me in the morning.

They talk for few more minutes and cut. Geet, Aadi, Pinky have a good time together and Aadi leaves from there wishing Geet once again before he leaves.

Next day morning...

Geet's Appa calls her on her mobile...

Kutta...Poranda Naal Nalvashthukal (Dear...Happy Birthday)...

Thanks Appa...Bless me.

Our blessings are always with you.

Geet has tears in her eyes...

Kutta (Dear)...dont cry on such an occation.

Appa...this is the first Birthday where I am away from you all...Miss you all

We all miss you too kutta. Giving the phone to Amma and then Rajji.

Both wish Geet and she happens to talk to her Appa again.

Appa...you know, Pinky and Aadi Sir, My colleague gave me a surprise. They woke me up at 11:55 AM...And Meera called me and wished me.

Kutta, you know something, we all were worried about you as you have been living in Delhi without any of our family support. But now, I am really happy that you have such people around and our mind is free from all tensions. Dont forget to Thank Pinky, Meera and Aadi Sir on All our Behalf.

Sure Appa...Is Gopal Anna there?

When he stays at home...he's always roaming around with those useless friends.

Geet feels sad that her brother is not atall talking to her.

Appa...why is he angry with me? Atleast for today, he can call me and wish me.

Kutta...dont take his behaviour seriously...You know him..

Forget all this...So, what's your plan for today?

I must visit university today...and then in the evening, I will visit that Ganesh temple...and later take Pinky and Aadi Sir for Dinner.

That's nice and enjoy yourself...God bless you.

Sure Appa...Bye.

Geet cuts the call...and then there's a call from Aadi

Yes Aadi sir

Geet...I am sorry to say that I will not be able to join you people for Dinner today. I have some other commitments.

Oh no...No problem...Take care...

Aur haan...I will claim your treat for some other day...ENJOY your day

Sure Sir...Take care and see you tomorrow.

Geet gets calls from Venkat Uncle, Bhuvana and few other school and college friends and known people. Even Yash calls her and wishes her.

She visited her university to meet Mr. Sinha, her faculty. Surprisingly, Mr. Sinha also passed on his Birthday wishes. Geet was really happy that her Birthday is turning out to be so wonderful. As if the entire world is wishing her. Mr. Sinha guided her with the project preparations and for the next set of tests.

Later in the evening...Geet visits Ganesh Temple at around 6:00 PM. Till that time she tried calling Daadi couple of times but its still switched off.

After the prayer...she speaks with the pandit in the temple. The Pandit knows Geet and Daadi very well.

Namasthe

Namasthe Geet bitiya...

Panditji..I need your blessings..Its my Birthday today.

Jeethi Raho...Aap par Ganeshji ka aashirwad sada hi bana rahe (Be blessed and May lord Ganesh's blessings always be with you)

Pandiji...I need a help from you. Do you know where Savithri Devi ji lives?

I know beta..but tell me what happened?

She is not keeping well...I called her and her mobile is switched off..I want to meet her once.

She takes the address from pandit and leaves from the Temple. She takes a taxi...on the way calls Pinky...Pinky...remember I keep telling you about Daadi. She is not keeping well. Will meet her and then come back home by 8:00

Take your time dear...I'll wait for you.

Geet reaches the address which was given by the Pandit...It was a very huge manscon...unable to believe that Daadi lives here. She is standing outside the manscon and staring at the long gate and thinking what to do. She snaps out of her thought when the security guarding the gate calls for her

Madam...What are you doing here? What do you want.

Woh...Savithri Devi ji lives here?

The security guy scans her from top to bottom...and then answers...Yes...but who are you?

Woh...woh...I am known to her...My name is Geet...can I please meet her?

You wait here...I'll check with her and then allow you to go inside

There's someone here by name GEET to meet Savithri Devi.

Nakul checks with Savithri Devi...ji...there's some one by Geet who is there to meet you.

Daadi gets restless...GEET...oh no.. What shall I do..there are few pictures of Maan on the walls here and there..No no...

Nakul you call her inside...make sure you dont take her close to the pictures on the wall..

Nakul wonders why Daadi is saying this...anyways, his job is to obey the orders.

Geet comes in...She is amused with the manscon...the interiors and lighting. It was nothing less than a palace. Least did she expect that Daadi lives in such a huge manscon.

Ji..Aap Geet hain na (You are Geet right)...asks Nakul.

Geet nods Yes with a smile.

Please follow me..I'll take you to Savithriji's room. Nakul takes Geet to Daadi's room.

Geet follows him and finally she got to meet Daadi.

DAADI...How are you?

I am fine beta...Daadi gets up to receive her. Geet hugs her with concern and then sits next to her.

I am so sorry for this beta...I wanted to take rest and I keep getting lot of calls on Sunday. That's why I had switched it off..

Oh...I can understand.

So, how did you find the way to this place?

I had been to temple and checked with the panditji..Thanks to him that he had your details.

Hmm..I knew you are intelligent girl...

Geet and Daadi keep talking for a while. Annie is about to enter Daadi's room and she stops at the room enterance...wondering who is with Daadi.

DAADI...Aap...

Annie stops and looks at both of them

Daadi and Geet turn to look at Annie.

Daadi skips a heartbeat seeing Annie...Oh no...what will be Annie's reaction. I am sure she will be rude to Geet...Oh god please help...If not friendship, she should not behave rude. I will say SORRY to Geet after Annie leaves. Daadi closes her eyes for a while. She is not prepared for Annie's reaction.

GEET DIDI...Annie screams with excitement.

ANNIE...Geet is equally excited.

Daadi couldn't believe her ears..she opens her eyes slowly and found both Annie and Geet getting into an emotional hug

Geet Didi...Annie has tears in her eyes...

Annie...

Mar Gayi Annie (Annie is dead)

Oh Baby...you should never tell that ok.

You never called me even once...how mean...where were you?

DAADI's eyes pops out...Seeing their closeness.😲

Precap: a) How Annie and Geet know each other?😲 b) Oh no...the final blow.😭

Before reading this part...remember the character sketch that I have given in the first thread, first page. Annie is 14 years old same age as Rajji. She is studying 9th standard.

PART 44:

Geet Didi...Annie has tears in her eyes...

Annie...

Mar Gayi Annie (Annie is dead)

Oh Baby...you should never tell that ok.

You never called me even once...how mean...where were you?

DAADI's eyes pops out...Seeing their closeness. What am I seeing...She rubs her eyes with her hands in order to reconfirm

Arre Arre...What's happening? Geet-Annie, you know each other.

Yes Daadima...Geet didi is the one who helped me with my studies when I had to stay in Bangalore.

Daadima's joy knew no bounds seeing Geet and Annie getting along so well with each other. she remembers Annie was missing this person from Bangalore but she never ever guessed it could be Geet.

A brief flashback:

About 3 years ago... Khurana Group of Companies faced lot of challenges in the business front and recession was an added problem...Maan's Daadaji had recently passed away leaving the complete responsibility on Maan and Daadi. Dev couldnt help much as he was irresponsible by nature and on top of that he was newly married and settled down in Canada for some time. Annie got in the age where she required more attention...She was just 11-12 years old; a over pampered kid who was very weak in her studies taking single digit marks. Maan or Daadi had set all priorities to the business and were worried about Annie. Hence Daadi called her youngest sister (Younger to her by 15 years) Kalyani Devi who lived in Bangalore, requesting her to take care of Annie for a year or two till these family and business issues get sorted out. Kalyani Devi was staying all alone as all her children and grandchildren are well settled and living in different places in Abroad. She happily agreed to help.

Annie started living with Kalyani Devi in Bangalore. All though Kalyani Devi took good care of Annie, she couldn't help Annie much with her studies. She was worried with Annie's Progress in studies and also Annie had a weakness in writing grip. She checked with many people around for sending Annie for extra tuition classes...but nothing was working out. Either good tutors were staying far away or the ones available close by were not good enough to take tuitions for important subjects. Annie needed more attention in Maths and Science...but it was difficult to find a tutor who can help her with this.

Finally one day...

At Geet's home in Bangalore...

It was evening time...Radhika is just back from her school and busy with her kitchen work. Geet and Rajji were studying when the door bell rang.

Radhika opens the door..

Hello...I am Kalyani Devi...I just live in the next street. I need to meet Radhika

I am Radhika...I guess we happen to see each other occasionally. Please come in

Kalyani and Annie walked in.

Please have your seat.

Geet and Rajji happen to be silent observers.

Radhika ji...I have been referred to you by one of the neighbours here. I need a help from you.

Please go ahead

She is Anvesha...

Annie beta...tell namasthe to Radhika ji

She half heartedly says..Namasthe

Hmm..

I am desperately looking for a tutor for her. She is very weak in her studies especially maths and science. Can you help her out with her studies? I heard that you are a high school teacher with a well reputed school.

Well...I am a school teacher but the subjects which I have been focussing is English and Social Science...I may not be able to help you with Maths and science. But I will check with my other colleagues in the school. Give me few days time. By the way, which standard she is currently studying?

She is in 6th Standard now.

Fine...I will check with my personal contacts and get back to you.

Geet interferes...Amma...if you don't mind, shall I say some thing?

Even our Rajji is in 6th standard. Hence both their syllabus would be same right

Kondai (Baby)...what are you trying to say?

Let me take care of this girl's study along with Rajji

Sure beta.

I know it's challenging to find a tutor. If you don't mind, I will take this responsibility. My younger sister Rajji is also studying the same syllabus and I help her out with her studies...We sit down for studies during this time for nearly 2-3 hours. Anvesha can join us...I am sure this combined study will help her a lot. Also, I will give more attention to Anvesha till she picks up in her studies.

Kalyani Devi scans Geet from top to bottom

Can you help me in this beta? You seem to be too young.

Radhika interferes...yah she's just 18 years old studying BBM..but she scored highest marks in her school during 10th and 12th standard. She majored in science in her 11th and 12th..so, she will be able to manage it.

Kalyani is so releaved...Thank You beta..god bless you.

Geet holds Kalyani's hand...Please, I am not doing this for the sake of money.

Par beta...

See, anyways I spend this time with Rajji...So what difference does it make? I'll think Annie to be another sister of mine...you need not worry about her studies henceforth.

Thank You...Thank You so much beta...

Annie is making a baby face folding her hands. She hates studies and she just hates this tuitions which takes extra time out of her.

Hie...I am Geetika...you can call me Geet didi

She keeps quite.

Rajji comes and introduces herself...

Hie...I am Rajeshwari...you can call me Raji...She brings her right hand forward. So FRIENDS?

I dont make new friends easily...she's talking still folding both her hands not willing to forward her hand for friendship

Rajji was embarrassed.

I am sorry beta...this is her nature from her childhood...she doesnt make friends easily but when she makes, she will ensure that friendship lasts forever. Please don't mistake her to be a rich spoilt girl...Its just her nature has been so. Give her some time she will surely accept your friendship

Geet could understand this...but Rajji was still young...not able to understand all this. She would still rank it as an arrogant behaviour.

OK..so shall we leave?

Aunty...let Annie stay back here...let her start with her tuitions from today.

That's great. Shall I pick her up after one hour today?

Sure

Rajji is still fuming with anger...she is finding way to bully Annie. She starts asking about her last test results...

What were your scores in Maths?

10

In Science?

8

Rajji giggles...and tells Geet...Akka...Onnum panna mudiyadhu...nee paavam ( Sis...nothing can be done...Pity You)

Rajji...appadiyellam sollakudadhu kutta (You should not tell this dear).

Geet took very little time to find a way to deal with Annie. She takes Annie to her study room and tries talking to her.

Annie...I can call you Annie right?

Annie nods for yes

Why are you so quite? What's bothering you? Treat me like your elder sister

I hate studies..I hate this tuitions...

But why? Don't you think Education is very important? Dont you feel like scoring more marks than your friends?

I don't know...I am not able to study...I am not able to write for long time

OK...shall I tell you a solution? You said you hate to study right? Start loving it...you see even you will start scoring like me and Raji and like most of your school friends.

But..

I am telling you na...Start loving your studies...start loving your handwriting...then see, you will excel in these...no body would be able to beat you.

Sure didi?

Sure...you will see the results by yourself.

Annie started with her tuitions with Geet...she was progressing very slowly and in next six months to one year time...Annie showed good improvement in her studies...She was at least getting "Pass marks" and the red lines in her progress report started vanishing slowly. That was indeed a good progress. Also, Geet made sure She writes at least 2-3 pages daily to improve her writing skills

Kalyani Devi was also happy with this progress in this.

In next one year...Annie became a part of Geet's family, she became good friend with Raji. Daadi or Maan would occationally meet Annie. But would not stay more than a day as they have to get back to Delhi and take care of the busines.

Then once...Geet, Radhika and Rajji had been to Chennai for one week due to a family function. Co-incidentally, Maan was also there in Chennai and that is when Geet slapped him ...(Author's note: Remember Maan-Geet's first encounter in the first part).

Geet and family came back to Bangalore. Geet was a bit lost with that incident. Wishing to see that guy again... Annie was really bored to the core till Geet and family came back. Also, Maan left from chennai to Bangalore to meet Annie before going back to Delhi...even he was disturbed with what happened in Chennai...He's wondering why he's not angry on this girl...she actually slapped him...Wish he could get to see that girl again.

Bhai...This is not fair...you just came in the morning and going back in the evening...not done. I wanted to introduce you to my friends here...especially my tutor and her family.

I really wish dear...but cant help...you know I have to concentrate on my business...I promise to stay here for a week when I come next time.

Kalyani Devi interfares...Maan beta... next time you come over here, you must stay here for a week...no excuses...ok...

Sure

Annie dials geet's home number

Geet didi...how are you? How was your Chennai trip? You know how much I missed you all?

I'm fine dear...Geet answered a bit weakly

What happened didi?

I am tired that's all.

My elder brother is here. He wants to talk to you.

Hmm

Annie holds the phone...Bhai she's on line...her name is...

Maan is least interested in knowing any girl's name and he stops her when she came to tell Geet's name.

Hello...

Geet lost a beat hearing this

Hello...

Maan also felt the same

How do you do?

I'm fine.

Why am I feeling this is the same girl whom I met in Chennai? I'm going insane...how can she be here in Bangalore

Why am I feeling this is the same guy whom I met in Chenni? how can it be? Am I going crazy?

Thank you for helping my sister with her studies.

Well...I didnt do much...I was doing combined studies for her along with my younger sister...so, actually, it was easy for me to take care of the situation.

But still...there is a good improvement in Annie.

She is a brilliant girl...but she was missing to understand it by herself...She needed someone to help her out with it...that's it.

There was a silence for a while. Both wanted to talk more but not sure what to talk...

Both get confused but didn't take their own thoughts seriously..

Another one year passed by.

Annie gave her final exams for her 7th standard. By now Maan took complete in charge of the business and Daadi started staying at home. Hence they decided to call Annie back to Delhi. Annie was missing Geet, Rajji and Radhika Aunty a lot. She was regularly in touch for six months and then lost contact.

Flash back ends...now back to present..(Almost one and half years years later)

Geet didi... What happened From the month of December onwards I was not able to reach you on the tel no which I had...Kalyani Aunty had also visited your home and it was locked. When enquired with some neighbours, they told that you people vacated from that place.

Geet gets restless...That was the time when she and her family had to leave to give last visit to Paati and then her marriage...She closes her eyes for a while and then answers...No dear...We had to stay in our village for some time. My grandmother was not keeping well.

Oh no Didi...how is she now?

Geet is sad again...She passed away. She was suffering form severe blood cancer. We all came back to Bangalore after finishing all her death formalities.

Oh no..Sorry Didi

Daadi know about her grandmother's death...Geet had mentioned this in the very first meeting in the temple. Daadi pats on Geet's shoulder comforting her.

Most of our neighbours assumed that we went back to our village forever. That's when Kalyani ji has got to enquire about us.

Haan Didi...Kalyani Aunty is no longer staying there...she is settled down with her elder son in US. She left by the end of December last year.

Geet got little sad agin. Daadi decided to change the topic.

Arre Geet...Annie doesn't make friends easily...I really wonder how did you handle her.

Daadi...dont ask me...This Annie looks innocent but she's a cunning girl...Geet teases Annie...Annie makes a angry baby face.

Why are you saying this?

She offered to make friendship with me on the second day of our tuition...so that she can butter me enough and escape from her studies...

Daadi Giggles

but who am I? I'm Geetika...I didn't give in to her friendship till she starts cooperating with my studies.

Annie is still angry not turning towards Geet. Daadi and Geet look at each other and giggle.

Geet continues...But Daadi...I must say, my mom and younger sister had tough time to obtain her friendship. It took 3 months for my mom to make friendship with her. My mom used to regularly call Kalyani ji and try to find out what all food Annie used to like and my mom made sure to make her fav dish atleast twice or thrice in a week.

That was so nice of your mom

Yah...and it took nearly six month for my sister Rajji...What not she use to do...she used to play Annie's fav games, she used to get Annie her fav chocolates and what not...finally they were friends after six months...And my Appa would regularly tell her hello...but she started answering taking her own sweet time...can you believe it?

Geet didi...You didn't tell me...what are you doing in Delhi?

Arre Annie beta...Geet is the one whom I used to regularly meet in the temple.

Oh really?

Yah Annie...Its just 2 months since I have been here. I am working and doing my MBA. I happen to visit the Ganesh temple near my home where I got to see Daadi and we both have become good friends from then on

Yes...All are fine.

Its high time...I need to talk to them.

Hey...how is your elder brother? Geet asking this without actually knowing she is enquiring about Maan Sir.

Daadi starts coughing...She didnt want Annie to answer that question.

What happened Daadi? drink water. Geet hands over her glass of water

Didi...you know something, my writing skills have improved a lot. Also, I have won so many prizes on my handwriting and painting skills...

Oh that's really nice.

wait I will get my certificates for you.

Anni goes to her room to get her achievements. She has to walk almost 5-10 minutes to reach her room from Daadi's room

On the way she sees Maan

Bhai...How are you?

I'm very very happy...

Oh really? Actually Maan has never seen her so happy

Yes...remember my friend from Bangalore? The one who use to take tuitions for me. She is come over here. She is in Daadi's room. You join them..I will join in 5 mins

Simultaneously at Daadi's room...

A glass of water would do.

Daadi calls Nakul and Nakul gets a glass of water immediately

Geet beta...have you ever been to your boss's home?

No Daadi...I have never been...by the way, when I signed my employment contract, there was a clause that I am not suppose to visit boss home. I heard from my operations manager, Aadi sir, that only he can visit boss home with official purposes and rest all can visit only when invited. I respect that fact...Anyways, why should I visit his home unnecessarily

Acha...what will you do if this happens to be your boss's home and what if he comes here in this room...Daadi just teases Geet.

Geet jumps with fear...Daadi, please don't say that...Anyways my boss is always looking for reasons to get angry on me...if this is his home and if he sees me here now, he will burry me alive.

Both start giggling.

Maan hears some talking and giggling sound when he's about to enter Daadi's room.

Annie told me that her tutor has come over here..but what is this, I am hearing Geet's voice and giggling. Why am I getting to hear her where ever I go? Why am I not getting over her thoughts that easily?

Geet takes the glass of water in her hand and continues with her talk...

Daadi..wanted to tell you...today is my...

Maan entered the room...both Geet and Daadi turn to see him.

GEEET...he screams. Geet is shocked to See Maan and his anger filled face.

Daadi is not able to know what exactly going on and what is Maan upto.

GEET...what are you doing here?

Sssir...I just came to meet Daadima

Who are you to meet her?

Sir...we are good friends...why are you asking this?...Geet is really asking innocently.

Oh...Now I shouldn't even ask you why you are meeting MY Daadima? WOW Geet...its a limit.

Your Daadima? She turns to look at Daadi with lot of questions. But before even Daadi could answer, he drags her out...The glass filled with water which she was holding spills down. Daadi screams at Maan...MAAN MAAN...stop it Maan. Daadi couldnt walk further as she is having mild giddiness.

Maan drags her to the corridor by holding her hand he stops at one point and then turns and twists her arm behind her. Its really hurting her. Nakul and other few servants got to witness this ruthless sight.

Geet is simply looking back at his eyes...pleading herself innocent.

Geet is all shocked...Sir I really dont know what your are saying...please leave me...you are hurting me.

Girls like you have to be treated this way.

Geet is suffering with the pain that Maan is causing her...both physically and mentally.

Sir...believe me...I didn't know its your place...I wouldn't have visited this place if I had known that its yours.

Maan's grip on her left hand is getting even tighter. Geet's right hand is gripping on to his shirt collar...Wah Geet...Acha natak kar lethi ho (You are good in acting). I have to appreciate your talent.

"Natak"? (Acting?)

GEET...just leave...leave from this place NOW...Just get far away from my vision...otherwise, I myself don't know what will happen...And he pushes her away as if she was an unwanted thing.

Geet Didi...Maan hears Annie's voice. What is this? Annie is addressing her as Geet Didi...This Geet is ridicules...see, she has even mesmerised Annie who doesn't even make friends that easily.

Geet wiping her tears quickly and hiding her hand as it has finger prints of Maan's hands.

Didi...kya hua...aap ro kyon rahin hain? Kya hua? Kisi ne kuch kaha? (What happened? Why are you crying? Did anyone tell you anything?)

Nahin Annie...I am fine...dont worry...Some dust particle went in to my eyes..that's all.

Didi...where are you going? Were'nt you suppose to spend some time with me? See I have these certificates to show you.

Annie..I wish I can see them but I must leave now...my roommate is waiting for me.

Annie is surprised to see her bhai talking a bit rudely...Geet has got used to it by now.

PART 45:

ANNIE...Come to Daadi's room...I need to talk to you something important.

Annie is surprised to see her bhai talking a bit rudely...Geet has got used to it by now.

Annie...Your brother is calling for you...You carry on...She hugs Annie and leaves from there...and both leave towards different direction.

Simultaneously at Daadi's room...

Daadi calls for help

Nakul rushes to her and holds her.

Nakul...You were standing outside right..Please tell me what happened.

Nakul bends his head down...unable to say anything...

Kuch tho Boliye

Nakul tells...how Maan behaved with Geet.

Daadi is loosing it...She is controlling herself to the maximum so that she doesn't fall down.

Nakul...please go out to that girl...may be she would need some help.

Ji Daadi

Nakul goes out to see Geet was walking very slowly...she seems to be completely lost.

Beta..

Geet is looking at him blankly...unable to comment...she closes her eyes with both her hands and starts crying.

Beta...please control yourself. I really don't know how to console you...I'll arrange to get water for you.

NO Nakulji...I dont want to drink water here...Please...please help me to get out of this place. I have lost my way.

Nakul helps her out till the exit gate.

Annie and Maan walk into Daadi's room. Daadi is now fuming with anger with what ever happened.

Annie hold's Maan's hand. Bhai...Geetdidi kyon challi gayi? Aap ne unhen kuch kaha? (Why did Geet didi go out? Did you tell her anything?

Why are you so much interested in that characterless girl? She just came with some planning here. And you...you are talking to a stranger ? Since when? You will go and talk to anybody just like that? You need to treat such people in such a way...I sent her out and told her not to come here again.

Annie drops the certificates which she has been holding in her hand and it gets dropped down...and also her hold on Maan's hand loosens and she moves back and starts crying. Bhai...mujhe aap se yeh bil kul umeed nahin thi (I never expected this out of you) ...I hate you...I hate you Bhai. She runs towards her room crying.

What happened to this Annie...she's behaving so strange?

Daadi comes forward and gives him one tight slap.

Its not Annie...Its you who is behaving strangely.

Maan couldnt believe...his Daadi actually slapped him...he's holding his hand on his cheek...DAADIMA..You slapped me...You have never done this till today.

Mat kahiye mujhe Daadima (Dont call me Daadima) ...Ghar aaye huye mehman se koi is tarah pesh aata hain? (Does anyone behave like this with a guest who's come all the way home)

So, you slapped me for that cheap girl?

Maan...I am warning you...mind your words.

Daadima...aap ko maloom nahin hain is ladki ke bare main. She is working in my office...and she is trying her level best to play tricks with me.

Haan daadima, just the day before I left from delhi to attend this conference, I get this date-invitation email from her to meet at Sushi Delight

What did you say? She invited you to Sushi Delight?

Haan Daadima...look at the guts of this girl...I scholded her for that email and she has come all her way here to play another dirty tricks...yahan tak us ne aap ko aur Annie ko bhi nahin choda. (And she didnt spare you and Annie)

Daadi holds Maan's shirt collar with anger.

MAAN...you are no longer a human being...you are an animal.

Maan is looking at Daadima with a blank note. Daadima has never been so angry on him...and moreover, she's calling him an animal.

Maan is taken back. How could he forget this? She was hesitant and feeling puky to get into that fish restaurant the other day. That's the day he learnt that she was a pure vegetarian.

She will never even keep her feet in such a place. In fact, that poor girl may not even know what this place is all about or even where it is located.

He remembers how hesitant she was to get into that restaurant...why...why didn't I realise it when I read Sushi Delight in that email. He closes his eyes in disgust

Coming for today...Geet didn't know its your home and I'm your Dadima till the time you walked into my room.

Par Daadima how is it possible...

I met Geet her for the first time at a Ganesh Temple. She was upset with her career life and I gave her few advices to follow. That's it and we are good friends since then...when I asked her about her company she told me that she works for KC...I didn't tell her that that my Grandson is the MD to whom Geet is currently reporting. Simply because I didn't want her approach towards me changes. She never knew this fact till this time.

So, it was Daadi who had hidden her identity from her...he closes his eyes with disgust about what all he assumed thinking about her...He is not able to utter a single word.

Yesterday, We both happen to meet in the temple again. The temple was over crowded yesterday and someone happen to push me to the floor and I fainted. It was Geet who accompanied me to the family doctor...

Maan comes to hold Daadi's shoulder...Daadi gives him a stare... My BP increased that's it and doctor recommended me to take rest...I'll not die that easily

DAADIMA

Today...Geet came to check my health as she was unable to reach me over the mobile...and see what she got in return for the good gesture and care.

DAADIMA...please...

And coming to Annie...Annie knows Geet for the last 3 years. Geet is the one who helped Annie with her studies when Annie had to stay in Bangalore...and Today, Annie met her after long time...

Maan is shaking..he remembers he had a very brief talk with this girl over the phone. Also she and her family helped without expecting anything in return...they didnt even take any tuition fees for Annie. How could I...I should have atleast listened to Annie for once...why it didnt strike to me that Annie was actually reffering to Geet when she told me her tutor friend is waiting at Daadi's room...He closes his eyes...not able to hear anything further.

Aanie doesnt make friendship with anybody just like that but once she makes a friend, she takes that relationship personally...she can never bare anyone hurting or insulting that friend. Geet is very close to her...you have broken Annie's heart into pieces today. She will never talk to you again...never.

Geet used to always tell me that I remind her of her own Daadima who passed away recently as she suffered from severe Blood Cancer. I really don't know how am I going to face this girl again and how am I going to make up to her for what ever happened today. All this happened because of me. I never knew that hiding this small fact of being your daadima at the cost of loosing that friendship.

Now...just leave from here...I dont want to see your face even.

DAADIMA...I'm really sorry...please forgive me once...

Maan...what you've done today has put me into shame...I am Ashamed to relate you as my Grandson...I have never felt so low in my life. You know how much trust and respect Geet had for you...you washed away everything with your own bare hands. Now please leave me alone.

DAADIMA...Please relax...you have not been keeping well...I will sort it out...

Its too late Maan...its too late...Can you really imagine what you have gone and done today?

Maan closes his eyes...understanding the deapth of his own deeds

I want to see Geet...but how will I? Have you left me capable of even facing her? Get out...Get out before I loose patience.

Please Daadima...Let me stay with you for sometime.

OK...I will move from here

Daadima...please I'm leaving from here.

Maan collects all those certificates which were dropped down by Annie and he walks out of the room heading towards Annie's room. He reaches there to find the doors are locked from inside.

Annie...Annie please open the door.

She's not answering.

Annie...I have done a big mistake...punish me but dont stop talking to me...I cant take it.

There's no answer.

Annie..please listen to me once...

He had to leave and gets back to his room...places Annie's certificates in his cupboard.

He tried calling Geet on her mobile...he just wants to hear her...But she's not answering.

He tries to reach her on her land line. And Pinky picks the call.

Hello

Hello May I speak with Geet

Pinky's munching apple and all tensed...she's not at home...I am waiting for her for such a long time...we are suppose to go out...Oh why am I telling you all this? Who's this?

Pinky...Maan here

She gets nervous and didn't understand what to comment...Oh...hello sir...sorry sir...Geet is not come home yet. I even tried calling her on her mobile but no answer.

OK then...will call you back after sometime.

What shall I do? Where she would have gone at this time...I shouldn't have behaved with her this way. Something tells him that she would have gone back to that Ganesh Temple...may be that's the reason she has put her mobile in silence.

Maan was right at least this time...she did go back to Ganesh Temple...It was Nearing 8:00 PM...

Geet was at a state of shock...she didnt know why she's getting punished...She is looking at the Ganesh Idol with a blank note...She was just looking at the idol and tears starts welling her eyes...today even her mind is not talking to the god...but still she has some hopes to find some peace...Panditji came to her. She immediately covers her hand.

Geet bitiya...did you manage to find Savitri Devi's home?

Hmm...

Kaisi hain woh? (How's she?)

Geet answers in low voice...she's better

Bitiya..what happened to you? You sound a bit low.

Nothing Nothing Panditji...just wondering why God is putting me into tough situation.

Pandit keeps his hand on her head...Bitiya...God puts good people like you in tough situation but never betray them...You told me today is your Birthday right? Don't take any worries...leave it to Ganeshji.

Geet gives a weak smile wiping her tears and leaves from there.

She walks down the hill...it starts raining...she is standing in the same place where Maan helped her from falling down and how he lifted her...She closes her eyes to feel that every moment... what she saw in his eyes that time...what care he possessed for her...now all has been poisoned with her current state of mind...Poi...Ellame Poi...(Lie...Everything is a lie). She doesn't want to know anything about it. She is feeling some kind of a suffocation surrounding her...she immediately calls for the taxi that's passing by and got in to it.

Just then Maan arrives there...he parks his car and reaches the temple top. His eyes desperately looking out for Geet. He's going to every corner of the temple hoping to find her.

Someone pats on his back...he turns to look at the Panditji

Beta...are you searching someone?

Ji...There's a girl who regularly comes to this temple.

May I know her name?

Geetika..I mean, Geet

Oh...yah...she was here sometime back

You are?

You must be knowing Savithri Devi...

Oh yes...I do...she regularly comes to our temple.

I am her Grandson...Maan.

Arre beta...Savithri Devi has told a lot about you...Also she keeps telling me that you dont visit temples. I am happy to see you here today.

Maan remains quite.

By the way Geet came to your home today right?

Ji...but how did you know?

She wanted to meet Savithri Devi ji but she didnt have the address...she took it from me.

Maan is speechless for the nth number of time...How he insulted her today by accusing she has been planning this for long time to come to his home. If it was true, she wouldnt have taken the adress from here today.

Poor Girl..she was really worried for Savithri ji...she didnt care about her birthday...all she was bothered is to meet Savithri ji

BIRTHDAY?

Haan beta...today is Geet's Birthday...She had taken my blessings.

He just walks back and slowly turns around...

Maan beta...

Pandit has been calling for his name

Maan beta...take Prasad...

but he doesn't turn around to see...he keeps walking towards the stairs that take him downhill. He's walking down slowly like a blind man.

TODAY IS HER BIRTHDAY...AND...How could I...She came to the manscion to check Daadi's health even on her birthday...Daadi didnt tell me this...that means, Daadi doesnt know that its Geet's birthday today...Oh No...He bangs his right hand on one of the wall...

He walks towards his car... he looks arround the same place where he had lifted her last time...he still recalls her innocent face getting dripped with the rain water...He closes his eyes to feel that every moment which he should have treasured it...but instead, he got into a tough mindset and what all followed and what he has gone and done... He snaps out of his thought when The rain has started catching its speed...He dials Geet's mobile again...but still no answer.

At Pinky-Geet res...

Geet walks in hiding her scars in her hand. Pinky runs to her...

GEET...GEET...Where were you? I have been trying to reach you for almost one hour.

Geet remains quite...Pinky pats Geet on her Shoulder...

GEEET...Kya hua?

I am sorry Pinky...I will not be able to take you for a treat today.

Woh...daadi forced me to have dinner at her place...I dint want to disappoint her as she wasn't keeping well. Sorry dear...I didnt get a chance to keep you informed about this. I promise to take you for a treat some other day.

Arre Geet...its ok yaar. How's Daadi?

She's feeling better now.

But Geet...why are you so low?

Nothing Pinky

No...there's something wrong..please tell me.

Geet's breaks down crying...

Geet...kya hua? Pinky rests her hand on Geet's shoulder

Pinky breaks the hug and wipes Geet's tears...I can understand dear...but you were so happy since morning...you were so excited about your Birthday...Why am I feeling there's some other reason behind it? Geet...please don't hide anything from me...did anyone hurt you?

NO...NO Pinky...I have given you true reason. I am once again sorry...I am not able to treat you today...what will you do for dinner?

Don't worry about me yaar...My Machine is on all the time...I will order something ...Are you sure you don't want to have anything now?

I am done with my dinner...In fact...I am feeling so heavy on my tummy...she gives a fake smile.

Geet helps herself with a glass of water. Only she knew that she was about to sip water when Maan came there and...she closes her eyes with pain.

Pinky...I am really tired...It was a real busy day for me...

Pinky hugs her ...Good Night Geet...I really wish you had enjoyed your Birthday to the fullest. Geet's is not able to control her tears falling down her cheeks...she wipes her tears before breaking the hug. Good Night Pinky...and she gets into her room and locks it.

Pinky smiles at her...somewhere she know that Geet is not herself...something has happened and she is trying to hide it. Just then the home phone rings again.

Hello

Hello Pinky...did Geet come back home?

Sir..she just reachec home...I am really sorry...I missed to inform her that you had called. She has got into her room. Please wait...I will call her.

NO...Please dont disturb her..I will speak to her tomorrow.

Sir..Are you sure? You might have called her for some important work.

No...I had called her casually...

Oh...I guess you had called her to wish on her Birthday...Am I correct?

Maan is tensed...not able to understand what to comment.

You know sir...how much she wished that her boss will call her and wish her today...

PINKY...PINKY...Please...I will meet her tomorrow...Did she have anything for dinner?

Woh Sir...Geet told me that she had her dinner in the place where she had been...

He's going restless now...She didn't tell Pinky about what ever happened...Dinner? I am so cruel to have not allowed her to even have that glass of water she was holding...What a Birtday treat I have given her...Oh no..what have I gone and done.

Hmm...I have a request...

Yes sir

Dont tell her that I had called...Let her take rest.

Sure sir

At Geet's room...

Geet doesn't even change her dress which was soaked in rain water. She is sitting in one corner of the floor crying endlessly...She is angry on herself to have such a blind faith on someone who doesn't even deserve it. Mr. Maan Singh Khurana...I had so much respect for you...why did I ever trust you so much? I wouldn't disagree to myself that I did have a soft corner for you...but I never knew you are such a big shot who values everything in terms of money...YES...if at all I was a rich girl, you would have welcomed me to your house...You proved yourself to be yet another rich guy who would care only for money. I remembered you when my Paati (Grandmother) in her death bed had asked me if I like some one...Why did I? At that time, I never knew your name even. Today for the first time, I am angry on my God...Why did I get to meet you again? Why? Just to know that you hate me...you disrespect me and my family...What did I do to get this hatred from you? Please tell me. I hate my self to have trusted you...to have ever liked you.

She didnt want to look at Maan's face again in her life... She takes a notepad and starts writing her resignation letter...She stops half a way... Appa Ammavuku enna badil solven? (What will I tell my parents?) I will need to look out for another job and I know I will not get it that easily...I have only two months experience. I can't tell Appa-Amma about what all happened here...If they ever come to know, they will never allow me to stay back here in Delhi... she closes her eyes with disgust... Ippodhaiku ennala indha velaiyai vida mudiyaadhu (I cannot leave this job for now). I will change from this job only when I have another job in my hand...If this ruthless person wants to kick me out of my job, let him do so. I will not be surprised with this act any ways.

Maan is relieved to have known that Geet has reached back home safely. He comes back to his Mansion. The entire Mansion seems to be deserted...Today for the first time he hated this place. He hated everything...He remembers the first time he had been to Geet's home...how she treated him with respect...how she forced him to at least have a cup of coffee...and she visited my home for the first time...and...He's really ashamed of what he's gone and done. Daadi is correct...I am not a human being..I am an animal. How will I ever face her? I know after all this happened, she may not wish to even look at me...Why Why did I behave like this? Just to control my feelings? And why did I bother so much seeing her with Yash...without knowing the other side of the story...I didn't even allow her to speak...

Precap: Maan knowing more truths

Why Why did I behave like this? Just to control my feelings? And why did I bother so much seeing her with Yash...without knowing the other side of the story...I didn't even allow her to speak...

My one act has hurt Daadi, Annie, and above all Geet...They all were so happy together and its just me...all because of me all three are depressed. Why did I lose my control after seeing her? How am I going to face her? How?

Next day at KM...

At the Breakfast table...its 8:30. Maan comes to the breakfast table. By this time Daadi and Annie would be waiting for him so that they all could have breakfast together. But today they are not to be seen. Maan checks with one of the servants...

Woh saab...Aaani is left for her school and Daadi has informed us to serve breakfast at her room.

Hmm..

This has never happened where Annie doesnt tell him before she leaves to her school and Daadi not blessing him before he leaves to his office. They are really upset with me.

At KC...

Maan reached office early...He gets into his cabin...remembers the last time he was in his cabin was during Friday Evening. Thoughts of that heated conversation over email flashed in front of him and he slowly looks at Geet's cabin. He was sure that she will never come back to this office after all what has happened. He stands up and turns towards the wall and closes his eyes

Geet...Good Morning... He says it very softly

She happened to leave from there and close his cabin door. Geet couldn't believe her ears...Did he say Good Morning? Not possible...when will I ever stop imagining such silly things...She gives a sad smile to herself.

She didn't answer me...Hmm...what question is this? Have I ever answered to her when ever she wished me...Now I feel how it hurts...I need to talk to her...need to apologise for all my behaviour...

Her left hand covered all the time...she didn't want anybody to see the swell with the scars...even Maan. She's about to get into her cabin when Aadi calls her.

Hey Geet...

Hello Aadi Sir...Good Morning

What happened? You look pale...your eyes are swollen..

Nothing..I was busy for the whole day...also had to prepare for my tests today...and gives a fake smile

How was your Birthday dinner treat yesterday? Hope you and Pinky had a great time.

Ji Aadi Sir...We had a great time...We missed you so much.

I told you na Geet...The treat remains pending for some other day.

Ssure Sir...Anytime

You are happy right?

Hmm...Controlling her tears to the maximum level.

Acha...tell me...have you prepared for your tests this evening?

I have been preparing...I couldn't do much about it as it was Sunday and moreover my Birthday...gives a fake smile again.

Maan comes out his cabin and calls for Aadi

Aadi...come to my cabin.

Maan hopes she will turn and look at him...But Geet is looking down as if she didnt listen to him at all.

OK Aadi sir...I have to study...will catch you later. Geet again smiles controlling her tears...

She gets into her cabin... Series of incidents happened on Friday and yesterday flashing in her mind and starts crying facing the wall so that no one looks at her. She had to control herself as she has to prepare for her tests. She wipes her tears immediately. She takes her book to start studying. The scar in her left hand is getting darker. The swelling is clearly visible... Its hurting her...she had taken some pain killer but its not helping...She is not even able to hold the text book. She sits facing the wall so that she doesn't get to see her boss.

SS..Ss..Sir..Ggg...Good Morning

Aadi...I need update on the Gurgaon project bank loan.

Geet was telling me that she will inform Sir about this...what happened?

SS...Sure sir..

And...I want to know one more thing...find out if that secretary position in Indian Paints reporting to Yash Malhotra is still available or not...and which other position is vacant in their company.

Ssure Ss...ss..sir...

Hmm..

Aadi leaves from there...Maan looks thro blinds...He could see Geet was sitting facing the wall...her back facing him.

I have never seen her sitting facing wall...why is she doing this? She's trying to avoid me.

In meantime, Daadima calls Aadi...

Good Morning Daadi

Good Morning Aadi bete...Aadi please tell me if Geet has come to office today?

Yes Daadi

Daadi takes a sigh of relief.

She didnt know how to shoot the next question...How is she? Is she fine healthwise?

She is little pale today...guess not keeping well...But seems nothing to worry.

Thanks for the info Aadi...Daadi cuts the call.

Daadi is worried and helpless...For sure she cannot meet Geet like how she used to do it before.

Pinky calls Geet...

Oye Geet...Remember I had left that invoice file with you last time...please get it na...I cant move from here...getting continuous calls today.

No worries dear...I am will be in reception in a minute.

Geet takes the file and leaves towards Reception. Maan looks at her thro blinds..he comes out of his cabin and follows her. Geet hands over the file to Pinky and immediately turns back to leave. She happens to see Maan from a distance...she passes by him as if he's not standing there at all.

He turns back to look at her...she got back to her cabin without even turning back and looking at him once. Why such a cold behaviour...She doesnt look at me...she is not making any angry or sad face...I could see NOTHING

Sir...Need any help?

No..nothing Pinky...

Maan leaves from there and just then Aadi comes to reception..

Good Morning Aadi Sir...

Good Morning Pinky...

So, you enjoyed the dinner treat without me? Aadi was teasing Pinky.

What dinner treat?

Pinky...you and geet went out for Dinner yesterday...Talking about that.

No Aadi Sir... She couldn't make it yesterday. She had been to one of her friend's home and had to have her dinner there. Geet came back home and apologised for not making it...she promised for a dinner treat some other day.

What?

Haan

Why Geet and Pinky are giving different answers? Why? Also Geet was looking pale and weak to me...There's something wrong. Let me find it out.

Aadi again goes back to Geet

Geet...

Ji Aadi sir...Geet jumps from her seat...She's trying to hide her scar and Aadi got to notice it this time.

Geet...what are you hiding?

Nothing Nothing Aadi Sir...She gives a fake smile.

Geet...show me your hand. Aadi comes to her and pulls out her left hand...He is shocked with what he sees.

Geet...what is this?

She remains quite...looking down and tears welling her eyes.

Geet...look at me...what happened?

She's still not answering.

The first aid box is in the pantry...come with me...I'll apply some ointment.

She goes with him silently...without arguing.

Just then, Pinky transfers a call to Maan

Hello

Hello...Am I talking to Mr. Maan Singh Khurana?

Yes

Hello Sir...I'm Mr. Venkat...Calling from St. Bank. I wanted to reach Geetika...but she is not at her desk and the call got transferred to you.

Hmm...

By the way, you must be knowing about me thro Geetika and Aadi

Maan is confused who is this person and what's he talking about.

Aadi had explained me your Gurgaon project...Our management was highly impressed with it.

Now Maan is getting restless...When did Aadi meet him? And why is he mentioning Geet's name?

We are pleased to inform you that your project loan is approved by our bank...

Now he somehow understands that Aadi has met this bank team and explained them our project and the loan has got approved...Thank You...Thank You Mr. Venkat

You have to come down to our office and sign on important papers...will explain you the rules and guidelines once you meet us.

Sure...Shall I meet you today?

Sure..Anytime.

Maan cuts the call...He's so excited that such a major problem is solved...But why Aadi didnt tell me this in the morning? And why Mr. Venkat was mentioning Geet's name again and again?

He looks thro the blinds...Geet was not at her desk. He goes to Aadi's cabin...even he was not available.

What's happening?

Pinky...Did you see Aadi ?

Sir...He spoke to me 10 mins back. Then dont know where he went

He checks with one of the office boy...

Saab...I had seen Aadi Sir and Geet Madam in the pantry.

Maan moves towards pantry

He stops near the door as he get to listen Aadi and Geet talking.

Geet...What is this? How did you get this scar in your hand? It has clear finger prints of some body's had...who did this?

Maan happens to peep inside...he gets to see the scar and swell in Geet's hand..He immediately hides back...closes his eyes again thinking what he has gone and done to her...she was repeatedly telling me that I was hurting her...Instead I strengthened the grip on her hand!...I am really cruel.

Aadi is applying some ointment on the effected area...

Geet...Please speak up...Why did you lie to me that you and Pinky had been for dinner treat...I casually happen to check Pinky and she's giving a different answer...what's happening?

Geet remains quite...tears rolling down her cheeks...she's looking at the pantry door.

No body comes to pantry at this time...now tell me...Who did this to you?

Geet holds Aadi's hand and breaks down crying uncontrollably. Maan listening to her cry and clinching his fist...

Aadi sir...It was my mistake...It was me who went to somebody's home as an uninvited guest...I deserve this punishment...In fact I deserve more

Maan is not able to take it...

What are you saying Geet?

Haan Aadi Sir... This was the first time ever I have visited somebody's home in Delhi...and...She cries uncontrollably with hiccups in between

Geet...you just went to someone's home and they treated you like an animal? Its really not acceptable. Tell me the name of that person who has done such a cruelty to you.

Aadi Sir... Its my mistake but I didnt do it purposefully...She calms down for a minute but still hiccups in between...I realised it yesterday...My family is the one who truely love me...I miss my family...I had to leave them to start with my new life...At this moment I feel like taking the next train to Bangalore...I am missing my Appa-Amma.

Geet...even Aadi is getting emotional now.

But I cannot go back to them...It was my decision to fight this world all alone...I have to face the consequences...She cries closing her face with both her hands.

Geet's every single word is hurting Maan...She came to my home with a sence of belonging...and I...he's ashamed to even complete the sentence. He is feeling helpless as he could do nothing now apart from listening to her cry.

Geet...you need to control your self... We need to consult the doctor as this ointment will not help...

But Sir

Lets not take any chance. The swelling in your hand is what bothering me. Come let's go. The clinic is just a walkable distance from here.

Aadi sir...its not necessary

Ofcourse its necessary...you have tests today...and remember, you had promised yourself that today's tests will be better than what you gave on Friday?

What...Geet had tests on Friday? Maan is still listening to their conversation.

Lets leave.

Maan leaves from there slowly...and comes back to his desk.

Aadi sir..please dont tell anything to Pinky...she will not be able to take it.

Doctor...I have university tests today.

I would recommend you to take complete rest for today. You should not put much force on your hand.

But doctor...this test is very important for me.

What time is your test?

It starts at 7:00 PM

Doctor checks the watch..Its 10:30 AM now...OK ...A good sleep of 3-4 hours along with this pain killer will give you good relief. will give you a sleeping pill. Consume both these pills after lunch. It will be better for you to finish your lunch by 1:00 PM so that you get enough sleep and you are all fresh in the evening much relieved with the pain.

Thank you doctor.

And Mr. Aaadi...Let her take a day off and go home.

Ss...Sure Doctor...Thank you.

Aadi and Geet get back to office...Maan is curious to know what the doctor said...but unfortunately not in a position to enquire this with Geet or even with Aadi.

Geet...Take your bag and leave.

But Aadi sir...

Geet...didnt you listen what doctor said? Dont worry about Maan sir...I will inform him

Aadi sir...please speak with him and let me know...otherwise, he will again get upset on me for nothing.

Aadi goes to Maan and checks if Geet can take a day off...

Maan looks thro the blinds...Geet is not at all looking at him. His eyes became moist looking at the bandage on her hand...

Sir...She has unit tests today. These test results add on to her semistar exams

Why can't she take the permission from me? Why Aadi is requesting on her behalf? Again...She would have felt the same for the last 15 days when I routed all tasks to her thro Aadi...simply because I wanted to avoid her...DAMN.

Its ok Aadi...let her take rest.

Thank You sir.

Geet passes by his cabin but doesnt even looks at him. Her ignorance is burning him within. Congrats Maan Singh Khurana...this is what you wanted to achieve...and you have successfully achieved it...she will never look at you again.

By the way Aadi...Some Mr. Venkat called me...from St. Bank..he asked me to visit the bank and sign necessary documenets..

YYes SS...Sir...

Why you didnt tell me this when I asked you about the Bank loan status?

Ss..Sir...woh..Woh...

And why Mr. Venkat was taking Geet's name continuously?

SS..Sir...I didnt tell you because Geet wanted to inform you first.

What?

Yes sir...On last Thursday, she visited my cabin and she found me pacing within my cabin thinking what to do with this bank loan problem. She immediately checked with Mr. Venkat, who happens to be a family friend...Aadi narrates him the complete story.

When did you say you both met Mr. Venkat?

On Friday morning...when you had some clinet meeting out of office...We met him around 10:00 AM.

Maan bangs on his table and turns his seat to face the wall. This means she was out of office on Friday Morning...and that email came to me between 10:00 and 10:30 AM on the same day...That means...He closes his eyes...recalls what all he had told her that day. She was repeatedly telling me that she didnt sent that email to me...I was no way listening to her and I was repeatedly pinpointing her charector and also her family...Its a shame on me...I didnt even allow her to explain...He slowly turns to look at Geet's cabin...Geet...why didnt you tell me that you were out of office? Why Geet Why did you listen to all my harsh words silently?

Here Aadi terms Maan's reaction be an anger...SS..Sir...

Hmm...He's still sitting facing the wall.

I know you are upset with Geet...She requested me not to tell it to you that we plan to meet this bank team.

And on Saturday Morning, Mr. Venkat confirmed to us that the project loan will get approved...he asked us to wait for the formalities to be done...

Sir..Geet was just behaving like a 5 year old kid listening to this news...she wanted to give this news to you by herself...she was prepared to take any reaction from your side...but she was happy that Khurana Construction and its customers are not let down. She was regularly checking with me about your arrival to office...But you didnt come to office on that day.

A restlessness rushes thro him...she was waiting to give me this good news all by herself...forgetting all what happened on Friday evening... "Sir...please think twice before pouring your harsh words...otherwise, you will hate yourself once you know the truth"...How true a comment she made...I really hate myself. He again looks at Geet's cabin...but she was not there...please...I wish to take back all those harsh words which I spoke on Friday and yesterday... I really wish..

SS...Sir...Please dont be upset with Geet...she genuinely wanted to help us thro her personal contacts...that's it. She was worried if she had informed you earlier, you might have stopped her to do so..

What could Maan say or comment...In a normal situation, he would have been the happiest person to have got this project approved by the bank...but he's not happy...he's feeling so low. How rude of me to tell her that she's just an employee of Khurana Constructions that's it and she should know her limits...But still...she went ahead in helping KC with such a difficult project approval?

Aadi...fix an appointment with Mr. Venkat for around 3:00 PM...we will get the papers signed immediately.

Sure Sir.

Aadi takes his leave.

Maan bangs his hand on the table again...Why Geet Why? I really wish you scold me, scream at me...insult me for what I did to you on Friday and yesterday...but you are showing a reaction that's absolutely cold...I am not able to take your silence.

Maan immediately called his system maintenance incharge into his room enquiring about this email scam what happened on Friday.

Maan Sir...Its challenging to trace the person who did this email crime. But still we will work on our ways.

Maan announces over the mike that there will be a staff meeting at 5:00 PM

All staff look at each other...even Sasha-Tasha give each other a confused look. Why this sudden meeting?

At 3:00 PM in the Bank...

Maan and Aadi walk in...

Hello Mr. Maan...Welcome to our Bank...Venkat welcomes him...Hello Aadi how are you?

I'm fine.

And Howz Geetika? Didnt get to talk to her today.

Sir...She took a day off as she wasn't keeping well.

Oh I see...By the way Mr. Maan...Geetika was praising a lot about you.

Maan is wondering how many more humiliating surprises he's going to get today.

She had been repeatedly telling me... "My boss will never let you down...kindly approve this project"

Maan was listening to him silently...what else he could do now...he doesnt deserve a single word out of that praising sentance.

These are the papers and terms...kindly take your time in reading before signing. Our primary condition is to take the services from the new Branch office in Gurgaon.

Yah...Aadi has explained me the details... We are ok with it.

Maan signs on the key papers.

Thank you Mr. Venkat

Mr. Maan...we bank staff thank you for giving such a wonderful project to our new branch.

Maan leaves from there bidding good bye to Mr. Venkat and all other staff there.

All Staff were present in the hall for the meeting. Sasha-Tasha eagerly waiting to know what this meeting is all about.

Hello Everyone..I have called you all here for discussing something very very important and crutial.

There's a shameful act by one of the employees...They have used somebody else's email address in sending a nasty email addressing it to me...and this happened on Friday Morning

There's a haywire among the staff...Tasha was almost to fall down and Sasha controlled her.

One of the staff asked...Sir...Who's email did they use? What is the content?

I have to keep it confidential...I cant tell the content of the email and I cant tell who's email has been misused here.

Comming to the point...who ever has done this shameful act has made 2 criminal offences...One is getting into a colleague's cabin when that colleague is out of office...second one is using a colleague's email ID... and all strict actions will be taken against that person.

And hence forth...I recommend all of you to log off from your systems before you leave. Those who dont have passwords recorded in your system, take the help of the systems administrator. I would never ever entertain such an offence again.

Also, I am going to arrange for cameras to be installed in many more places in office. So, be alert.

After the meeting...

Sasha...Mera matlab hain Maa'm...What's going on? I am sure to get caught now

Dont be a stupid Tasha...We have made a fool proof plan...dont worry.

Aadi Sir...What's this? What's going on in office? Who sent a email what email and thro who's email? Mujhe kuch samaj main nahin aa raha ( I am not able to understand anything) Pinky is all tensed and confused and munching a fresh packet of chips in a hurry...Maan Sir would have told you some thing...

No Pinky...I only knew we all were called for a meeting...didnt know what's all this about and what exactly happened.

This is the right time to talk to Pinky...let me try to find out Whom did Geet Meet yesterday evening. Also I need to ensure Pinky doenst know anything as I promised Geet.

Well Pinkly...I wanted to ask you some thing...Do you know whom did Geet meet yesterday evening?

Why are you asking this Sir?

Just curious to know...See, they are so special that she preferred to have dinner at their place instead of treating you...

WOH...there's some Daadima...that's all I know.

DAADIMA??

Yah...Geet and Daadima happen to meet regularly at that Ganesh Temple and They have become good friends.

Aadi thinks...Is this DAADIMA? Maan Sir's Daadi? Even she called me today and enquiring about Geet's health...What's going on? Something fishy I need to find it out.

At KM...

Maan comes back home...There's no Daadi...no Annie...the hall seems to be deserted. He has no guts to even look at Annie or Daadi till the time he makes up for what he did to Geet.

He gets into the Excercise room...He is getting into tough ti-chi and excercise sessions today. It was clearly visible that he was angry on himself to the core...He was thinking about all what he had been doing to Geet for the last 15 days...feeling the pain that she had been going thro...The height of it proved to be on Friday and Yesterday...There's a small mirror which he breaks with his bare hands with anger. This goes on for an hour and then he comes out of the room wiping his sweat off with the towel.

SIR...Your juice. Nakul hands over the juice to him

SIR? You always call me Baba. I am always your Maan Baba who has played in your arms...and have been your Baba for the last 27 years.

How it matters SIR? I got to learn a good lesson yesterday evening...A realisation has struck me that I will always be a servant here and I need to know my limits...You are my master and I am your slave.

Please dont tell that..

Its a bitter truth SIR...When an well educated girl working in your office treated this way just because she visited your home as a guest...she walked into this Manscon by mistake...Then what about we uneducated servants who take care of the guests? We will be treated even worst...why should we get into all this? Hain na SIR?

Maan is completely taken back witih what Nakul told him...I have been really cruel just to prove myself...prove my ego...what kind of an impression I have created in the minds surrounding me...He is just standing there motionless. How will I get back things to normal? Just then someone holds his shoulder with a strong grip..He turns to see Daadi who happen to Nakul's talk with Maan silently.

Daadima...Main.

All I wish at this point is you soon get back your piece of mind. She pats on his shoulder again and leaves.

Daadima...please...

She leaves from there...Maan could understand that she's still upset with him but she is also finding it difficult to see him in such a situation.

Precap: Maan Confronting Geet

All I wish at this point is you soon get back your piece of mind. She pats on his shoulder again and leaves.

Daadima...please...

She leaves from there...Maan could understand that she's still upset with him but she is also finding it difficult to see him in such a situation.

At Pinky-Geet's Res...

Geet is back home around 9:30 PM...Even though she was in her most disturbed state of mind, she manages to do her test pretty well. Moreover, the Doctor's prescribed medication worked and she didnt have a pain in her hand.

Hey Geet...Aagayi Tum? You were not keeping well...how are you?

I'm fine Pinky...

How was your tests my dear?

I have done it well...Results will be out in few days.

Great yaar...I know it...I bet you will top in the results.

Geet smiles at Pinky's confidence in her but she knows how difficult and challenging it was with work and study and over and above all what she got to face for the last 15 days. Both get down to sit for their dinner session.

Oye Geet...What happened to you? You are so slow with eating today

Nothing...Nothing Pinky...Geet lost in her thoughts again

U know what happened today in office?

Geet is getting curious what next happened now...guessing again some problem during her absence..

Maan Sir called for staff meeting at evening..He was mentioning about some email scam which was a shameful act...It seems someone sent email to boss...using another colleague's email ID and what not...It seems this happened on Friday. Actually, It was so strange...

Geet chocks her bite which she had just swallowed.

What happened to you? Drink water.

Did Maan Sir say anything else? I mean who's email was used?

He said its confidential. But he will find out the culprits.

Geet gives a weak smile.

Both finish with their dinner. Geet takes her mobile out to call her parents...she didnt take it out since last evening. She was shocked to see there were about 15 missed calls and that too all on last evening. She checks...4 calls from Pinky and 11 calls from Maan Sir. Why did he try to reach me...Oh yah may be some thing left out with what all he accused yesterday...He might have called me just to further accuse what else can I expect from Mr. Maan Singh Khurana?Her mood spoiled again...she decides to call her parents next day.

She had a disturbed sleep now the incidents flashing with in her in form of dreams...

"CHARACTOR... Does it really mean anything to you? You never thought about it before sending me this email."

"FAMILY...ofcourse, unhen kya maloom hoga ki unki beti yahan akele main kya kya gul khilarahin hain! Ho saktha hain, unhon ne hi tumhe sikhake bejha ho"

"Oh...you couldn't achieve much thro that email and now you are here to play your new tricks..."

"GEET...just leave...leave from this place NOW...Just get far away from my vision... otherwise, I myself don't know what will happen..."

Geet could feel his grip in her hand and she wakes up and holding her hand to her chest...as she feels suffocating and taking long breath...She drinks water kept in the side table and relaxes her self.

At KM...

"SIR..Please look at me for once! Are you seriously thinking that this is what is going on in my mind?"

"Please leave me...you are hurting me"

"Please think twice before pouring your harsh words...Otherwise, you will hate yourself once you know the truth."

Maan again wakes up at the mid of the night...Geet's innocent eyes pleading and questioning him are now haunting him...His heart pacing restlessly...He rushes to the water bottle kept in the side table and consumes it at one go...

How will I look into her eyes again?

Next day:

At 8:00 AM

Aadi meets Daadi...

Good Morning DD..Daaadi...

Good Morning Aadi bete...

DD..Daadi...Mujhe Aap se ek sach jaanna hain... (I need to know one truth...)

Kya baat hain Aadi bete? (what's it ?)

How do you know Geet?

Daadi gets up...not able to look at Aadi

Dd..aadi...Please tell me

She remains quite.

Please tell me...Pinky told me that Geet had made a new friend in Ganesh Temple...Are you the one?

Daadi silently nods for yes..

DD..Daadi...Please tell me what happend on Sunday Evening. It was her birthday and she was so happy and full of life...but dont know what happened in the evening after she came to meet you.

BIRTHDAY? Was it her Birthday? She didnt tell me...She just came to check on my health...Oh no? Daadi closes her eyes and tears rolls down her cheeks. She feels more guilty for hiding this trurth from Geet.

Dd..Daadi...kuch to boliye please...Geet is not at all telling me anything but depression is clearly written on her face...Daadi please dont mind me asking this...She has only two well wishers in Delhi..That's me and Pinky...Please Daadi...Please tell me what happened.

Woh Woh...Daadi tells him all what happened from the time she met Geet till Sunday evening...Everything including that email.

Aadi gets up at once...

DD...DD..Daadi...Yyeh bbbohuth Bbbuura hhhuaaa (What happened is really bad) Aadi stammering more than before because he's upset and emotional.MM...Maan SS...SS..ir se ummmeeed biil..kul nahin thi ( I never expected this out of Maan Sir)...How could he accuse Geet like this?

DD..DD..Aadi..GGEET Meri Behan Jaaisi hain (Geet is like my sister)...and I am moved with the treatment she has got here.

Aaadi...I am sorry on behalf of Maan...Please...

NNaahin..DD..Daddima...Please dont be sorry...What could you do for this arrogant behaviour of your grandson? I will never ever enter this home again...never.

Aaadi bete...please dont tell that

Dd..Daadima...GGEET was insulted in this place...never I will step into this home again...Regarding official work, I mainly come here for taking signature from you or Maan Sir...will wait outside and give it to Nakul and he will sign and get it back to me..

I will never come here Daadima..never..

Aadi...Please listen to me...

Aadi turns to leave and he sees Maan standing there. Maan was pretty shocked with the Aadi-Daadi Conversation. Aadi passes by him giving Maan an agonising look.

Aayie Maan Beta...See...today is again a happy day for you...one more person will stop coming to our home...Soon people will stop coming here...keep it up Maan Beta...and Daadi leaves from there.

Maan standing helpless...The more he is trying to get things back to normal, the more its getting worst...

At KC...

Geet and Pinky heading towards the lift..Both stop when the kids block them with the bunch of rose flowers they were holding.

Didi..Please buy these flowers...We are giving you 2 for 15 Rs.

Geet takes it...Beautiful rose flowers.

Geet...Dont buy it...Boss doesnt like flowers...Pinky comments nervously

But Pinky...I will keep it in my cabin...in front of lord Ganesh idol that I have.

Maan stops at a distance where he could hear Pinky-Geet conversation.

Geet...Boss will be upset if he sees them...Now the choice is yours...I'm going.

Geet is confused whether to buy the flowers or not...The flowers were really beautiful but she is not able to make up her mind. I will buy these flowers... at least these kids will make some money.

Didi...will sell it for 10 Rs. Now...please take it.

No No dear...I am not thinking about money..She buys it and looks at the flowers for sometime...She turns to leave and bumps on Maan who was standing just behind her...She missed a heart beat as she verywell know whom she has bumped into...

As he holds her, he got to look into her eyes after two long days...the last time he saw them was on her unfortunate Birthday..It was filled with pain and tears...The moistness filled with pain still relavant in her eyes

Geet...he calls out her name...She listened but ignored it thinking she was imagining. Geet..I need to talk to you...You are avoiding me to this extent...but I must talk to you today.

Geet reaches the office floor and rushes into her cabin. She again has tears in her eyes...facing the wall..not able to take it...I know he must be thinking I banged on him purposely...he's Maan Singh Khurana...he can justify anything. She wipes her tears...keeps the roses in front of lord Ganesh's idol in the table and goes ahead to prepare coffee.

She knocks the door holding his coffee..Today she knew her boss is in so she made sure she knocks before walking in.

Come in

Maan gets up from his seat looking at her. She keeps the coffee, turns and about to leave.

Geet...

She stops and turns back wondering what is he going to tell her now.

Now he turns to face the wall and trys to talk to her as he is not able to look at her and talk...

Woh...Woh...

Geet is anticipating again another heated argument to come her way...she had enough and preparing herself for more to come.

Sasha gets in...but Maan didnt realise it as he is in a deep thought of how to began the conversation with Geet

Geet immediately leaves before Sasha asks her to leave from there like it had happened on the other day.

Woh...Woh...

Woh Woh kya hain MK?

He immediately turns around to see Geet has left the cabin.

When did you come? I didnt hear the door knock.

Woh...sorry MK I forgot to knock

I was talking something important with Geet...where is she?

MK she left once I got in.

Maan turns to look thro the blinds she was in her cabin talking over the intercom..

It was Aadi who had called her. Aadi initially gets emotional Knowing with what ever happened to her and keeps quite.

Aadi Sir...why are you so quite..please speak

Nothing like that Geet...How are you today? Howz your health? How was the test?

One Answer...to all Questions...ALL GOOD

Great...Listen...we have a meeting on current projects around 11:00 start preparing for it.

Sure Aadi Sir.

Maan still looking at her thro blinds...

MK..

Hun...Well did you have anything important to discuss?

I just came to check if there's anything important to add to the ajenda for today's 11'O clock meeting..that's it.

Nothing much...you can leave.

Geet is finding reasons to stay away from her cabin...she prepares various reports required for the meeting and she gets into the meeting room...The same meeting room where she had to stay with Maan for that night to complete the presentation. She is trying her best to keep her mind free from the thought of what all happened that day when she and her boss had to stay back in this meeting room for the whole night...Edhuku adhellam ippo nyabagathukku varuthu?(Why am I getting to remember those things)

She keeps the copy of the papers in front of each chair...finally, she comes to Maan's Chair...she instantly remembered how she fell on his lap and they lost in each other's eyes...She feels suffocating...She runs towards the window and opens it to take fresh air in...again she is reminded of those encouraging words which he had ACTUALLY spoke when both were standing near this window "I really dont know what is the problem you are currently going thro. But one thing I would like to surely mention here is that your life needs to move on" . Is he the one who spoke those words and ...She just cries her heart out...not able to believe in anything on this earth.

Geet...Maan calls out her name very softly

She wipes her tears immediately. She turns and composes herself before seeing him. Still...her eyes still moist.

Ooh sir..I know you have some meeting coming up. Wait...I will call Aadi sir..

Geet...I want to talk to you...

Sir..it doesn't look nice if you talk to me directly like this. Aadi sir is the one whom you need to talk and who in turn will explain me to prepare agenda for the meeting Right? Just wait a second sir ... she takes the intercom to call Aadi.

Maan is really shocked with her cold behavior

Geet Please...Listen to me once..Maan immediately holds her left hand...She shivers with his touch and he takes his hands off her immediately.

Why are you avoiding me?

Sir...you know very well who has been avoiding whom for the last 15 days...I am just doing my work...have lot of work to do I have to get back to my cabin...please tell me if you have any important task.

Its so true...he never allowed her to have any direct communication with him for the last 15 days. He is not able to take this for one day and she has been going thro all this for the last 15 days...he closes his eyes to feel all that pain what she has gone thro...now, he is really not able phrase any sentence seeing her cold behavior.

Geet...I didnt know Daadi has been meeting you...and Annie...

I am sorry for walking into your home...I will never do that again...to that matter I will not visit anybody's home henceforth. Comming to Annie...I know how you feel she has been under a guidance of characterless girl and a filthy family... Dont worry...I will keep myself away from them.

Her each and every word is pricking him like a thousand thorns at a time

Geet...I really didnt mean to behave like this...

Sir...you are the one who told me other day...lets not talk personal things in office. I have lot of work to do...Let me go

Please allow me to speak...

You are the Boss...you have full right to speak sir...who am I to allow you??...please go ahead with what you need to say...I am sure you have lot more to say...I am eagerly waiting to hear.

He closes his eyes as he is unable to know from where to begin the conversation

I came to know you helped Aadi with bank project work...I really appreciate your...

Sir..again its my mistake here...I have interfered in Aadi's work... Oh no...I have been breaking so many rules...I have crossed all my limits...you need to take even more stricter action against me...isnt it sir? And I sent you that date email...I must be severely punished sir...I am waiting for your judgement...

Maan is getting restless with her words...Geet...I came to know that email was not sent by you...

She gives a sad smile...Sir...why are you wasting your time in all this...I know very well who are the people involved behind this

Geet looks straight in his eyes...tears has welled in her eyes which she has no control...Sir...I really really wish you asked me this on Friday evening...she gives a sad smile again... Maan frees his hold on her shoulder still looking into her teary eyes...

Anyways, What will you do? Throw them out of their respective jobs...so that they go back to their family and blame me for it? Sir...I dont want to take their curse...By the way, I am not angry on them...

Maan looks at her surprisingly

It was this act of them which opened my eyes...It was this act which proved me what YOU actually think about ME...

What's the point in getting angry on those people...when my BOSS is the one who easily believed them. My BOSS is the one who believed it was ME who sent him that email...My BOSS is the one who pinpointed on ME, My Charector, My Family...

Maan slowly walks back...

Sir...If and only if you intended to find it out on Friday...you would have called Pinky and asked her to get the "Time OUT and Time IN" register of employees where every employee enters each and every time he/she enters the office and goes out..with their respective signatures...You could have checked it and got your answers as I had signed it before and after going for that Bank meeting...but you never ever intended to check it...

Maan looks down infact this is the first time in his life where he's so moved with his own act. Why didnt It strike me on Friday to check that register...

...Because you were hard bent in proving I am a characterless girl and I dont belong to a decent family and...She breaks down crying...

Geet...he again calls out her name

She composes her self and continues with hiccups in between...For the last 15 days I have been fighting with my self to know what is actually bothering you...Is it you are angry or upset with someone else or some problem relating to business or something personal within your family...I was really worried for you...but actually it has been ME...ME who have been bothering you...and I dont know how and why...

He has been listening quietly allowing her to speak.

Even after that Friday evening I made my mind understand that you are really crowded and that's why you are speaking those harsh words and you really didnt mean to speak them...but you proved it on Sunday that you actually meant each and every word what you told about me...She takes a long sigh...It was my mistake to have this blind faith in my boss...I am to be blamed for it.

Its not like that Geet...

IT IS LIKE THAT SIR...Touch your heart and tell me...Between Friday and Sunday Evening...Did you for once feel bad for pinpointing at me?

Maan again remains silent...cannot dare to tell a lie looking at those questioning eyes.

I got my answers thro your silence.

Geet...I am SOR

Geet immediately stops him from continuing...

They have an emotional eye lock.

Moreover, this word is meaningless now as enough damage is already done

Maan closes his eyes not able to take those words...

One thing you can always do is to FURTHER DAMAGE...Please go ahead and do so..I still have some strength left within me to take more pain...She tells this and leaves from there nailing his heart with those words...those words which were nothing but the truth...those words which describes her pain and his ruthlessness

Precap: Daadi meets Geet
