Location: KHURANA CONSTRUCTIONS (KC), MUMBAI, SATURDAY 08:50a.m.
The staff of Khurana Constructions were arriving and quickly settling in as their boss cum terror, THE MAAN SINGH KHURANA, was due to arrive soon after a month of absence from KC office. Soon the siren hooted indicating the arrival of THE TERROR! All the staff were running here and there to reach to their seats and make their work area neat and clean. Men were correcting the collars of their shirts and tightening the knot of their ties. Women were straightening and smoothening their dresses/skirts and applying another coat of lipstick or lip gloss on their already coloured lips! The only person uneffected was the young and new PA to MD of Khurana Constructions, Mr. Garv Singh Handa. The MD of Khurana Constructions, Mr. Maan Singh Khurana had arrived Garv sensed as there was pin drop silence in the central enclosure where majority of staff's cubicles were present; also there was complete silence in the doorways and conference room next to his cabin. Just then there was buzz on intercom connecting to MD's cabin and Garv knew that he has been summoned. Picking up files of all ongoing projects and a copy of today's schedule of meeting and conferences MD had to attend (original MD's schedule was already on MD's table) which Garv had put as soon as he had arrived in the morning i.e. 08:00a.m.
Location: MD's CABIN, KHURANA CONSTRUCTIONS (KC), MUMBAI,
Garv knocked the cabin door with shivering hands as he was meeting his boss for first time since his joining KC. Although in past one month, Adi Sir had made sure that Garv was comfortable with KC's functioning and what MD likes and dislikes but still boss is boss!! A husky baritone answered, "COME IN!" Garv opened the door and entered. MD was bent over blue prints which Sasha Ma'am had designed. Seeing Adi Sir, Garv relaxed slightly. MD finally looked up and Garv was stunned seeing him after so long with his hatred rising. Before his hatred could surface for this man and he doesn't blow his cover, Garv looked at the file in his hands. But Garv must remember to keep his little sister, Geet away from this man's magnetic personality! Also Garv wanted to leave this room as soon as possible due to the certain overpowering smell in this room. Just then Garv realised that the smell was not from the room but from the man named Maan Singh Khurana. Smell was also a body smell not a smell due to Mr. Khurana's deodorant or after shave. Smell which if Garv stays near for too long could trigger Garv to take his natural form. But luckily Adi broke Garv's thoughts saying, "Sir, this is Mr. Garv Singh Handa your new PA. He is a very hardworking youngman. He is currently studying, hence attends office only in afternoon after his college but Saturday he is here full day." Maan nodded in understanding.
Garv was not the only one effected by overpowering smell, Mr. Maan Singh Khurana was also effected with overpowering smell. The smell had come in the room since Garv had entered. A smell which had a strong connection with Maan's past, the past which he so wanted to ignore and forget. Maan was feeling as if this young lad, Garv although simply dressed but is trying to hide something below this heavy business suit, turban, out dated spectacles and a wispy moustache and beard.
Adi also use to be simply and modestly dressed but this young lad seems to suddenly come out from the 1960s era. "Mr. Handa, where is my today's schedule?" Maan asked to change his train of thoughts. Garv went around the table and fished out his schedule from under the blueprints on the table. The moment Garv came near Maan, the smell grew stronger making Maan's head swim and his eyes sparkle. Before the smell makes Maan loose his control and come to his true form, Maan got into his MD mode and started barking orders which quickly Garv started jotting down and Adi quitely slipped out of the room.
After an hour of intense work, Maan said, "Mr. Handa, I'll give you rest of dictation later in the day as I have to leave for my meeting with HODs."
"Sir do you need me to come with you to take down notes for the meeting?" Asked Garv in his slight husky boyish voice. The voice was young and immature suiting his age. The touch of huskiness was making it certain that he was a male.
"No Mr. Handa, you please type the urgent letters, I'll take Tasha with me. You can leave."
"Yes Sir!"
Once Garv left, Maan was in his thoughts, "Kyun mai uss ladke ki taraf aakarshit ho raha hoon? Ek mard dusare mard ki taraf...?
Nahi! Yeh aakarshan manush yoni kaa nahi hai. Yeh toh...
Magar yahaan kissi ko meri asliyat maloom nahi siwaye Maa ke...
Toh phir...?"
(Why am I getting attracted to that boy? How can one male get attracted to another male...?
No! This attraction is not of human form. This is...
But no one is aware of my truth except mother...
Then why...?)
Maan ran his hand through his hair ruffling them to a mess.
Just then there was a knock. Maan ordered, "COME IN!" Maan knew in advance due to the overpowering smell who it was before Garv even opened the door.
Garv came in and said, "Sir, HODs are waiting for you."
Maan pulled himself together and came to his MSK mode. He went to wash room, straightened his clothes and combed his hair and left for the conference room. After two hours Maan returned to his office and Garv sent with MD's personal peon, Ramkhilawan a black coffee and some crackers. Soon after his coffee, Adi, Meera and a subdued Sasha entered the MD's cabin. After an hour the three came out. Adi and Meera were grim and Sasha was exceptionally quite as if she is a truant child given a thorough scolding by Principal of the school. As it was lunch time and Maan's food had arrived from home, Garv switched off his computer and left for the office cafeteria for his lunch. Rest of the day passed away without any major event with Maan being occupied by meeting and conferences for most of the day.
Maan had just finished with the last meeting of the day and was waiting for his lift to his office when he saw back of a girl in blue churidaar kurta waiting for the employees lift.
Although he was inquisitive about the identity of a girl alone after office hours but just then his elevator (Lift) arrived. He thought to ask the girl in front of the employee lift to accompany him but she had already left. He reached his cabin to still find his PA's cabin light on. Keeping his files in his cabin he entered his PA's cabin without knocking and was surprised to see Garv standing and arguing with the same young girl who was standing in front of the employees lift. "Mr. Handa". Hearing Maan's voice both Garv and the girl turned. The moment girl turned Maan's world stood still as he finally found his bride whom he was searching for so long. Seeing Maan staring at the girl, Garv decided to introduce Maan to her before he looses his job. "Sir, Sir, SiR, SIRRR!" Garv yelled to attract Maan's attention and he suceeded. "Sir this is my younger twin sister, Geetika Singh Handa. She usually picks me from KC so we both can go home together. I'm sorry, from tomorrow we will meet outside the KC premises." Maan outstretched his hand for a hand shake but Geetika politely folded her hands in namaste and bowed her head slightly signifying her greeting to Maan. Seeing Maan's confusion, Garv again spoke, "Sir Geetika is very shy and doesn't talk much." Garv still getting no response finally said, "Sir if you don't have any more work for today, can I leave for the day?" Breaking Maan's trance and he nodded yes.
