I know all of you are ready with your jutis and chappals ready to throw on me for being gayab for more than ten days without any information and the best part is I know I deserve all that.
I am sorry friends but I just don't know what is going in my mind which is making me feel stuck in life, am trying to clear up my thoughts and be regular again but till then please bear with me.
And a special thanks to all my friends who were continuously posting those waiting messages and making me feel loved and appreciated.
Part 24
She again repeated but he was ignorant. She lost her cool and pulled him by his arms, slapping him to bring in his senses. He looked at her in shock while she cried, "wo theek hai beta, she is perfectly fine" he just looked at her for a moment letting it all sink in him and fell on the bed lost, broken accepting the defeat as he cried, cried like a mad man in her arms.
"maam we had got that deal" exclaimed excited pari after adjusting her hair.
"well that's great... now we had to start work soon" said her boss looking up from her laptop screen.
"actually there is this little problem maam!!!" she said fidgeting a bit knowing she will receive all the scolding now.
Geet looked at her with raised brows and gave her a glare which meant she should continue what she was actually saying, "umm wo we get the project only if we agree that we will work as a joint venture with some MNC they will be finalising in some time or we lose this project"
"what the hell is this" she threw away the file on the floor after reading the conditions... this was just insanity, how can she just let someone else get control of her company's operation for this project, but then the company was going of financial imbalance and this project is the need of the hour. God dam it, how can they simply modify the terms at the end.
"who had made such changes, I want to talk to the management" she said frustrated while pari quickly handed her the number and ran out of the room saving herself from the danger.
He walked in the office with an aura of confidence. Two men in black suits followed him behind, a man with big specs walked on his side, yet he was distinguishable. His each step spoke of the authority he possesses and his grim eyes spoke of the power he has. People stood up from their seats as they saw him walk into the office, without caring to even ask for appointment.
"geetakshi handa" asked his secretary at the reception, but he didn't waited for the answer as if he knew where she will be. His eyes scanned the office area, and looked around for any symbol of her presence but he caught none. There was no bubbliness, no happiness anywhere he moved his eyes, and his brain smirked, "I said na she is not geet" but then his heart said, "no she cant be hidden for long"
His eyes rested on the name plate on the door at the end, his breathes stopped... there she is and the very thought made him nervous. Yes nervous!!! He knew she is not geet, but then she does resemble to his geet and his heart just isn't ready accepting the difference. And then the accident news he heard two days back about her... it just scared him out totally. How can he just bear the risk of losing her... umm ok she is not his but then she is safe he need to assure that... he need to know that she is alright and he doesn't trust anyone in this case now.
With uncertain thoughts he opened the knob and got stunned... there she was standing near the window looking out, lost in her thoughts. For a second he thought it was his geet there, the crazy lover in him just wanted to take her in his arm... kiss her, hug her, love her, express his every feeling in all the possible ways...
He actually took a step towards her too but then she suddenly turned and his all craziness died seeing the expressionless face of hers. She is his geet, he cant even believe... wo to pagal thi bilkul masum!!! He somehow got control on his raging feelings and introduced himself. "miss handa, nice to see you again!!!" he said extending his hand for a shake, his voice devoid of any emotions.
"mr khurana, that's a nice surprise!!! How come you are here in my office??" geetakshi said in all formally way still shocked with the sudden appearance in her cabin. She held his hand for a shake but then immediately freed herself from the hold, as if the touch itself burnt her. Maan saw her pulling away and flinched, comeon he had done lot more than just touching her hand but then it was his geet on whom he had his right not this strange girl.
"come mr khurana have a seat!!" she said and led him to the seat opposite hers and both settled down. "miss handa you have a nice office setup I must say!!" he said with effort to start some conversation to which she just thankfully smiled. "I think you really had no idea of my presence over here??" maan said seeing her confused to which she just nodded.
"the tender authorities must have told you about some MNC going to head the project in a joint venture along with your company.. well its Khurana Construction who got that chance to work with you Miss. Handa" he said with a smile while geetakshi just got irritated with the fact. Maan saw the disappointed look and made a face, "it seems you are not much happy with this venture" he said while she immediately came in her full business mode.
"its not like that mr khurana, everyone knows how efficient KC is in its work and it would surely be a lucky chance for my staff to learn under your expertise." Maan just nodded, his eyes boring into hers making her uncomfortable and cringe away from his gaze. His gaze just burned her and she immediately lifted her reading glass and wore them pretending to read the contract that he kept on her table.
While she sat opposite to him, he took leisure to notice her as much he wishes. His mind was busy making comparisons between this geetakshi and his geet!!! They were one body, one soul yet they were miles apart, maybe he is going mad too thinking like that but then he was just way too sure about it. This woman is like a subject for him which he wishes to know inside out.
Geetakshi held the papers tightly in her hand to get control over her racing heart. She didn't knew what was happening to her but yeah it felt as if her heart is running a race, beating so fast that she was scared he may hear her heartbeat if it continued like that. It felt her body temperature had raised and her all senses had fired up. Her body itself was reacting widely, heating up her temperature confusing her to the core.
She remembered being lost in past, trying to remember all the moments which she lost in this amnesia, to understand what had happened with her in that time period that she feels so different these days. Why she gets restless, why she cant sleep until she is way too tired to open her eyes??? She was still thinking about all this when she felt someone's presence in this room. She was ready to blast on the person who dared to enter in her room without her permission, but then when she saw him her mind gave away.
All the restlessness just swept away, all the baggage and tension went away as if they were never a part of her life. She was so shocked seeing him out of all people here that she even forgot that she had to actually taunt him for his basic office manners. And then his face which seems to change so much from the last time she saw just tensed her.
But then why was she even tensed??? She somehow got control on her emotions and greeted him formally. But when her fingers touched his, she doesn't know why it just burned her. That touch was so prominent, so beautiful... even that simple handshake made her want for more!!! Nothing of that physical sort... nothing about being despo... It was about holding his hand for some more time... may be being a bit closer but then why she doesn't understand.
And then the way he was looking at her for the entire time it just made her so uncomfortable. She knew his gaze wasn't those disgusting one which make you want to kick the guy between his legs... but it was those loving ones which make you look away and pretend you hadn't seen him doing that so that you could enjoy the feel of his gaze on you.
She immediately corrected her glasses, sighing a bit not understanding what is going on with her. She was always those boring nerds who never feel all these things, and if feel they simply push it away... she had even herself done that too many times but then why she is feeling all this all of a sudden she isn't understanding and then its better to not think much about all this crap.
