Chapter 27-Kaise Main Kahu Tujhse...(part 2)
Maan was surprised to find Geet in his cabin when he went to office next morning. At exact time,without delay,arranging the scattered files n the table.
The whole night he couldn't sleep thinking about her,what she was doing,how she was coping with that nightmare...& here the princess was busy arranging some damn files ...!!!! As if nothing had happened to her yesterday night. Just look at her!! Ek shikan tak nahi uske chere par. Nahi...she is always like this,apne dard ko apne andar sama ke rakhna...uski adat hai...
What the hell are you doing here? He screamed in frustration,actually really worried for her.
Clearing the table sir. Today you have...
Don't you have anything else to do? Ghar me koi kaam nahi hai kya? Pata nahi that i don't need secretaries all the time! Moreover It's Saturday damn it! I don't need secretary today at all! Go home!
Geet took a deep breath in & replied, I will not take a leave on the third day of joining Sir. I will be in my cabin if you need me.
She isn't acting. She is really fine!! Maan thought looking at her as relief washed over him.
Well,i will ask you to save me when i am in problem. After all,no one can match those nerve of steel like yours. Words rushed out of his mouth before he could even realize them.
Geet looked shocked for a moment,but then she answered calmly,
I don't believe living in nightmare sir. What would i get anything except pain from memorizing those moments? You saved me,Mittal is in jail, & i am unharmed. Then it's better for me if i forget bitter things.
& with that she went out of the cabin
Maan slumped on the chair & covered his mouth with his plams.
Kya hua tujhe Maan! Kabse tu aise gol gol batien karne laga! If you were worried for her & wanted her to take rest,couldn't you have just told her that??? Normally?? Couldn't you have said to her that you were happy,you were relieved to see her not suffering from yesterday's event...that she took this greatly?
He groaned. Argghh!! Not again!!! Abhi tak to pehle wala sorry bhi nahi bol paya,aur ye third sorry ki taiyari karli!
****
She was sure something was odd. She was cooped up in her cabin doing some works in advance to distract her mind from Maan's scolding. She knew that Maan had changed & was not the fun loving sweet teacher anymore. He was a rude & angry man. It was not as if she had expected any special treatment from him! But she certainly didn't expect him to be so rude with her today ...after yesterday's horrible incident...
She had been cooped up in her cabin for hours & when she came out...something was definitely odd. Everyone was staring at her...with ...Incredulity?? But why?
Then she discovered the reason...her & Mittal's pic,with Mittal in a scadeloud distance from her. The pic was definitely edited to make her look bad.
It was one of the employee's pc...& she suspected,it was in everyone's pc.
Nt & sasha came forward.
Tumhe sharam nahi aati Geet? I thought that you have atleast some decency...But you take your chance whenever you get it...Don't you?
Geet's mouth went tight & she stared right into Nt's eyes without cowering away.
Bechare Mr Mittal!You were the one trying to seduce him & when he refused,you couldn't take it & sent him to jail in false case .How lame Geet. Sasha said
Are you finished with your stories? Can I go back to work?
Sasha errupted at this. She never expected Geet to be this calm. You BITCH!! What do you think of yourself? That you can get away with anything?
At her scream,Maan came out of cabin to inspect the reason of this sound.
What he heard send his mind in utter rage.
You can act all you want Geet, but everyone knows that what a wh**e you are. Nt said without noticing Maan.
WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?
Sir! Wo actually...we all saw the news of Mr. Mittal getting arrested. We knew the truth ...Sasha said throwing a disgusted glance at Geet....so we decided...Sasha started ,but then stopped seeing Maan's face.
Oh! So you know the TRUTH!!
Y...yes.
Care to enlighten us too with your truth??
W...wo ,she was the one to drag Mr . Mittal & when he refused she acted like she was the victim.
Ah! But i didn't hear any scream or something like that.
Sir the music was too loud that's why.
Really? Then what happened? Obviously you heard & went there?
Yes sir,only then i took the pic. Geet didn't see me & she started to tear her cloths & making threats to Mr Mittal that she will not leave him.
You took the pic & didn't save Mr Mittal?Instead you were just standing there! Maan said with obvious sarcasm in his tone,but Sasha was too busy lying & so didn't catch it.
Sir i was actually scared thinking she will blame me too. But i was there.
Accha? then why didn't you come to me?
I was searching for you after that sir.
But if you were there you should have known that i was there. I was the one with Geet ,not Mr. Mittal.
That's impossible.
Why.I was there
Ye hai ho sakta sir. App jhoot bol rahe hai Geet ko bachane ke liye.
Main wahi tha,. Tumne galat dekha hoga andhere mein.
I am saying that can not happen.
Why?
Sir MAINE KAHA NA KI YE NAHI HO SAKTA KYUN KII MAINE KHUD MITTAL KO BATAYA THA KI GEET KAHA HAI & I MYSELF MADE SURE THAT HE DRAGGED GEET IN A SECLUDED PLACE WHERE NO ONE COULD SEE>THAT"S WHEN I TOOK THE PICTURE & WENT AWAY.
There was a pindrop silence.
Maan took a breath & said in a chilling tone...
Sasha,pack your things. You are fired...& i will make sure you can not get any decent job anywhere & you better hurry up ,isse pehle,i make the decision of making your life living hell Sasha...He paused for a few moment looking at her.
But..but ...main akeli nahi thi. Ye sab Nt ka idea tha. Sasha finally told the truth in hope of reducing her punishment.
Nt retorted instantly,lying on her best servant's face,to save herself...Oh please Sasha,ab apne app ko bachane ke liye ye jhoot maat bolo. Pehle tumne Geet ke barein mein bhala bure story banaya,aur humne accept kar liya. Ab despo ki tarha mera naam bhi taint karne ki koshish mat karo.
Sasha gaped at Nt...her years of loyality & hard work ...she couldn't believe it.
Maan on the other hand ,very well knew that what Sasha was saying now,was true...but without prove,he could not say one word to Nt. So he left it for another time.
His lips curled up in an almost invisible smile looking at Sasha's plight & went away from there saying...
Pehle you just used to disappoint me Sasha...but now, You disgust me.
Sasha looked at the staff,who were looking at her with contempt...her eyes then rested on Geet.
She had same calm eyes..but there was pity in them for her ,instead of the disgust which she expected...
Sasha mam,congratulation...You proved it once again...ki aurat hii aurat ki dushman hoti hai.
*****
(DO you remember the scene when Maan gives Geet note for the first Party?? & the scene after that when she comes back to him again & again asking for something ,like- sir phool konse,colour gray chalega-remember...see me giving a twist to that scene - will be waiting specially for your reviews for this part guys!!! & ofcourse the whole update too😆)
Sir apne mujhe bulaya?
H...ha,yes yes. Come in.
It was afternoon & the stuff were going home...
Kya kaam tha?
Wo..Maan played his fingers on table restlessly .
Are,why are you standing? Khare ho kar itna lamba dictation koi le sakta hai kya?
Geet looked at him strangely,as if he has lost his head. Then shrugged & sat down.
So...i was saying..Ha,Mrs Gonsalvis's resort house plan. I thought of some extra details,note them down so that we can work on that on Monday.
Ok Sir.
Swimming pools in personal suits & Jacuzzi in prime rooms,she would like to add special extensive spa treatments too,so we have to reserve a space for that...I AM SORRY.
What?
I..I mean I ..I.. EYE SALVATION...ha remind me to have a meeting with them too,they have best gears for spa.
Ok. Anything else sir?
No.
Ok sir. Good day then.
Good day.
Geet stood up & opened the door to go.
Geet Suno.
Yes sir.
Wo.. Add that we have to leave a space for vegetable garden too.
Ok sir.
She again held the handle of the door to open it.
Geet.
Yes sir.
Wo Mr D'suza ka Monday ka meeting hai na...change it to tomorrow.
Ok sir.
She held the handle again.
Geet .
Yes.
Maan looked nervously here & there trying to say the actual words he wanted to say...
Khanna.
Excuse me?
I mean set his meeting with me tomorrow for dinner.
Ok.
Geet turned finally to go.
Geet...
Geet heaved a sigh & turned slowly to him...
What now sir?
I am sorry. Maan blurted out like a parrot
What?
I am sorry the way Sasha treated you.
Her lips turned upwards a bit . It's ok sir. It was not your fault. Besides you stood beside me,thank you for that.
She turned ,but again was stopped by Maan's call.
Geet..
I am sorry for screaming at you today. I should not have done that..Actually...i was worried that you are over working yourself...
It's ok sir. I understand.
She turned abruptly ...
ha?
I am sorry for misunderstanding you that day. I knew that you had good intention about accepting Mittal's invitation...but i knew Mittal &..
It's ok sir. Now I understand it. I will be careful from now on.
Maan looked away...then again turned to call her,only to discover that she was standing there looking at him,waiting for his next call.
I am sorry,for...screaming at you unreasonably at your first day. Actually i didn't want you think that just because you know me you will have special treatment. So i...But,you...were actually great on your first day.
Geet's lips curled upwards a little.
No problem sir. Good day.
She finally went out of the cabin...but not before Maan noticing her radiant shy smile,which made him smile too.
Precap- Start of something??? Nt lurking around...
