Part - 13
Next morning Geet gets ready early as she is super excited to go to work...
She has already befriended Adi sir and a few workers at the site...
Geet leaves to the site pretty early as the workers had promised to come early in the morning, Geet wants to be there too to give them the trust that she is one among them...
Geet leaves a note to Maan...
Thank you Maan sir for believing in me and giving this job to me, I will make you proud for sure, I am in a hurry, my team is waiting for me... Bye... Thanks for the super dinner and also for the lift to the bed.....
Maan has a broad smile reading that note which Geet has left on her side of the bed knowing that Maan would sure be looking for her first as he wakes up....
Maan has a important meeting with a big client and he too hurries to KM...
Maan is busy with the meeting and after the meeting he looks at his mobile a s he has got more than 30 messages from Geet...
Geet has narrated her first day's work with all the pics....
Maan is disappointed that he couldn't see Geet in any of them ...
Maan messages her back....
'good work by the team, hope you got good rest all day..'
Geet gets angry that Maan is thinking that she is not doing anything while she is giving her everything....
Geet......'this is not fair, I'm sweating it out here and you can't judge me sitting in the air-conditioned room..'
Maan......' I don't see you working at all..., What's there in just taking pics, that's child's play....'
Geet then takes some selfies and sends him...
Geet....' would you believe now?...'
That's just what Maan wanted....
Maan...' great job, keep me updated...'
Maan is already missing her....
Geet keeps posting her work pics sincerely to her new boss while in reality Maan is enjoying his wife's selfies...
Maan is late as usual and Geet is already asleep after her first day's hardwork...
This continues for a week and Geet is getting excited so much that she is over doing it...
She is completely exhausted and looks tired that morning....
Maan switches off her alarm and let's her sleep....
Maan leaves a note that she needs to take a break and her boss is happy to give her an off day....
Geet needed that and rests the whole day....
But she gets bored and keeps texting Maan...
Maan who doesn't like wasting time on the mobile while at work is busy on the mobile to his staff's surprise...
These days Maan's mobile addiction has become the talk of KC...
The staff joke that they should be texting Maan instead of troubling him by going to his cabin often....
Next day Maan takes Geet to KC...
Geet is puzzled....
Maan: you will work at the office from now on, enough of your site duty
Geet: mein yahan kya karoongi?
Maan: you can do whatever you want
Geet: so you are not happy with my site work?
Maan: I didn't say that
Geet: then why this?
Maan: Geet, there is already a site engineer there and moreover I badly need an assistant here, I thought you would be happy to help me
Geet: but what's my job?
Maan: look, that's your desk, just sit and watch what's being done, that's good for today
Geet tries to look into the papers at her desk, she is not getting any idea what is going on....
Maan has a good time with his beautiful wife sitting right in front of him...
He gets his own dose of energy booster just by looking at her....
At lunch....
Geet joins Maan for lunch...
Maan: so, how do you like working as MSK's personal assistant
Geet: I don't know what you do all day looking into that screen of your laptop, what would I do?
Maan: you can't do anything in a day, you will get to know slowly
Geet: I think I'll fall asleep sitting in the air-conditioned room...
Maan: no problem at all
Geet: I'm bored here, I want to get back to the site
Maan: what would you do there?
Geet: I got a lot of friends there, I have a good time chatting with them
Maan: why don't you talk with me?
Geet: you are my boss, what can I chat with you other than work?
Maan: why do you see me as your boss?
Maan is disappointed to hear that...
Geet: because you are my boss
Maan: just your boss?
Geet: you have me the job
Maan: am I not eligible to be your friend?
Geet is shocked....
Geet: friend? aap?
Maan: don't you like to be my friend?
Geet: I thought we are already friends
Maan smiles hearing that....
Geet: but you are not my types
Maan: what's your type?
Geet: always talking about everything but the necessary, you always talk with a measuring tape, not even a single syllable extra
Maan: I'm not an expert in conversation, you already know that, you saw how I made things worse trying to talk to those people
Geet: how long would I keep looking at you like this?
Maan smiles to himself.. that's al he wants to do... Just watching her while she is asleep, while she is eating, while she is chatting on her mobile, while she is making all those funny faces when she gets bored...
Maan: why didn't you come and have a chat with me?
Geet: nahi babaji, why would I risk our just made friendship?
Maan: Am I that boring and repulsive?
Geet: no, you are a total Dhust Danav at work, you take your work pretty seriously, I wonder where does Adi sir gets the courage to confront you again and again after getting bashed every time
Maan just smiles...
Maan: this is all I've been doing all my life and I can't help it, work is always like a form of meditation for me
Geet: I understand now, you are a work addict and know nothing more than this, that's why you are poor at casual talks
Maan: you are smarter than I thought
Geet: so you can't accept that I'm actually smarter than you
Maan: that's debatable
Geet: what?
Maan: we'll find out that soon, you are here as my assistant, what's my afternoon schedule Geet?
Geet: what? How would I know?
Maan: you had a whole morning to get to know your duties and still you are not prepared? You won't call that smart Geet
Geet: you are too bad, this is not fair
Maan: ok, get me a cup of coffee
Geet goes to the pantry and makes a good coffee... She has to prove that she is not dumb as Maan thinks...
Geet comes with the coffee....
She forgets to knock the door...
Maan: what's the hurry Geet? You could have knocked
Geet rushes in almost spilling the coffee....
Geet: the coffee is getting cold and you will find a reason to show that I'm not as smart as MSK....
Maan: it's already proved that you are not that smart, I can't have this coffe even of it's hot
Geet: what? I haven't even made a cjai for myself yet here I'm making coffee for you, and you won't have it?
Maan: Geet, I don't drink regular coffee, I only drink black coffee
Geet: why didn't you tell me?
Maan: you never asked?
Geet: you just said you want coffee
Maan: I thought you must have known about my coffee preferences
Geet: why shouldould I know?
Maan: b'coz I'm your
Maan wanted to say husband, but that would sound arrogant and regressive ....
Geet: I know, you are my boss, you have told it a hundred times
Maan: give that to me
Maan doesn't want to disappoint her as she has made the coffe specially for him....
Geet: you need not drink what you don't like, I can get you your black coffee itself
Maan: it's Ok Geet, I want to drink regular coffee today
Geet is happy and she gives it to him...
Maan takes a sip and doesn't react at all...
Geet: how's it?
Maan: very sweet, just like you, but I prefer to have one sugar cube only
Geet: hmm
Maan: even for my black coffee too
Geet: I get it
Maan: you are getting smarter Geet
Geet: is this a compliment or what?
Maan: I mean it Geet, look how you learnt that your boss likes black coffee with a single sugar cube in a day
Maan kees pulling her legs...
Geet: I didn't want to be your assistant, I want to do what I know, why don't you let me go to the site?
Maan: Geet, I'm the boss and also I know you better
Geet: what do you know about me? Come on tell me now
Geet walks towards him as if to threaten him....
Maan: you will get angry with me if I tell the truth
Geet: truth? What truth?
