||MG SS: Pati Patni Aur Boss#3 || Completed - Page 77

Maan was in his call for a long time, he wanted to get through it as fast as possible but then this client was not letting him and he was definitely not in the mood of business today. He wanted to spend his time with Geet rather than with his mobile. One statement from Geet has already changed his addictive nature towards work; as the minutes ticked his patience was running out. But being the client he had to be polite; at this moment he decided to take the serious action and cut short his clients' words and ends it sooner.

Next what he had to do was to book a place very they could have there own sweet time for a while. He wanted to say so much to her but then words were at short for expressing his happiness today. He didn't have to think twice before arranging for a small dinner outing for the night. Booking, arrangements & menu was all fixed in seconds; he wanted all the things perfect and should be comfortable too.

He thought to call her over phone to pack her bag so that they can leave but then why to waste time in calling he would pick her up on the way and leave. Today he was in a hurry but that was unknown to others so if someone came by mistake also infront of him with some issue, they were sure to get fired by him.

Unfortunately today it was Arjun, just outside the cabin Maan was stopped by him.

"Boss..." Arjun called out.

"Not now Arjun..." Maan said.

"But Boss ... in the xyz project we have come across a small hitch and tomorrow afternoon we have to present the designs to the clients." Arjun framed his sentence quite well getting the hint of temper in boss's voice but didn't know his luck was not with him today.

"I said not now...handle it however you can or else postpone the meeting." Maan said rather should be termed as his verdict.

"Geet... come with me now." Maan said it firmly but the staff felt that today their boss was up for something. They could only pray for Geet's safety.

Geet understood the reason behind the frustration poured out on Arjun followed silently behind him. She knew he was not or to say never could get anger on her. Once out alone away from the confines of the interference he would be normal.

Maaneet made their way out and the gossip mill started to run in full swing inside the office. Everyone had there bit of information to share with.

One said "Geet got a letter of promotion."

"She rejected it." said another.

"Why did she do so?" someother asked.

"It isn't easy to handle things here. Even Geet couldn't handle it, did you miss to see the tears which she wiped when she came out of the boss cabin. I am sure something serious must have happened." Added a person.

"Why was she crying?" Someone questioned.

"Offcourse Boss would have been unhappy because she rejected his offer." replied the one who was questioned.

Speculations, debates and different conclusions were being drawn by each and everyone present in the office. Some did it openly but some had it with themself. But out there away from these ridicule discussion Maaneet were having their moments.

***

They entered the lift and in that moment did Geet try to calm Maan as she rubbed her palm against his strong arms. "You didn't have to be rude to him. And from when did MSK started putting your work behind. This is your first baby right." Geet said sweetly.

"Yes, that is but I even know it can flourish without much of my intervention. People out there are being paid to take care of it and they are trust worthy enough for me to handle this new life." Maan said as he slowly cornered her to a side of the life.

"So atleast now I get your whole attention." Geet said smiling at his acceptance.

Maan pushed away the strands as he rested one hand at the wall behind her and the other moved to feel the life inside her and whispered "I Love You" but then he didn't exepct silence at those words.

There was ding sound of the lift heard to break the silence and then Maan repeated again those words thinking she wants to hear it again "I Love you" but Geet replied pointing her finger towards him and slightly pushing him away "I hate you" and walked away from the lift.

Here Maan stood wondering why Geet reacted in such a way but rather than wondering he thought to check with her and he followed her. Unaware that Minal had witnessed there little exchange of words and needless to say that she was shocked to no extent. Geet was waiting next to his car; actually she was even cutier with that little anger on her face. He unlocked the car as she gladly occupied the place ignoring Maan royally.

Maan was contemplating how to make her speak out as she was not responding to any questions now.

"Geet ... how about I get you an ice cream and you tell me why you are angry" Maan thought atleast now she will spill it.

"See Babaji; he only got the news today and today itself he doesn't even understand why I am angry. What will happen when our baby will be in our hands? I am sure he would forget even my existence." Geet cribbed loudly enough to convey her reason.

Maan instantly stopped the car hearing her explanation. Was she the same women who took such a mature decision a while ago? She thought it was just for baby and not for her as his one hand was on her stomach. Well he didn't have any other option but to clarify her unnecessary doubt. He stepped out and bought some icecreams which as expected did melt her anger. And now she was back to herself, the issue was forgotten as the ice cream dissolved.

"Where are we going?" Geet asked in mid of her ice cream massacre.

"We are going to celebrate at the abc place; a candle light dinner." Maan said smiling.

"Dinner this early?" Geet said as it was still 2 in the afternoon.

"Yes, that is what I have planned, till dinner time your driver is ready to take you to any place you wish for." Maan said.

With the cue Geet weaved a long list of things which has to be done till dinner "First we will visit a temple, then we will take sweets to home or else even better I would make some yummy delicious sweet myself and will share it with our parents, next we will have to pay a visit to the doctor also; actually it is too early to visit one but its okay no harm in paying one or two extra visit to doctor. You know at this time of the day at beach there will be no crowd so we can walk rather play in the water for a while." Geet said giving a small chuckle whilst Maan kept on looking at her list. "Then..."Geet continued only to be interrupted by Maan

"Geet, slow down we have only few hours not a week that you are going on and on." Maan said.

"I know we can't cover entire things in half day but those are a part of the list of things which needs to be done. And I wanted you to know and now you do multi tasking drive us towards the temple and also hear the rest of my list." Geet said.

"Temple...you should have told it before itself. Next to our office itself there is one." Maan said.

"There I can't go" Geet denied it outrightly. "Not until my delivery."

Maan gave a confused look knowing her weird thinking. "Care to explain."

"I want my first baby to be a boy. So I can't climb the mountain, then how will I reach the shrine. Elders say when a woman in her pregnancy climbs a mountain she will have a girl baby." Geet concluded.

"Geet, how can you depend on such things?" Maan questioned her. "How can your climbing mountain decide the gender of our baby?"

"I don't know whether these things are true or false. Never ever had I got a chance to try before." Geet said smiling sheepishly. "I don't want too take any chances."

"What if we have a baby girl itself even after this?" Maan asked her. "Would you not love her?"

"What are you saying? I would definitely treat her equally but somewhere I want a baby boy first. For next we can go for a girl, at that time I am ready to climb any number of mountains be it an everest too but I have only one condition, you must accompany me there too." Geet said as she rested her head over his shoulder.

Maan obliged her wishes as even he wanted a baby boy, with whom he could relive his life again.
