Geet', maan greeted her as he saw her alone after some thirty minutes. He knew that she was invited by his mother but didn't expected that she shares the same passion as his mother.

She was in bright gown and was looking absolutely stunning, it was first time that he was seeing her in something other than in her Indian dresses. The dress was doing justice to her body structure that those sometimes over sized dresses never did.

(GEET'S DRESS)

Thank you for coming today geet, it made my mother happy'. Maan didn't knew why but she attended the event on the invitation of his mother made him feel a little relaxed.

Mrs. Khurana met me at the orphanage where I usually go and I never thought that it was your mother who was that day helping those children who are actually abandoned by their own family.' Geet didn't knew why she was telling all this to maan, they were in the overcrowded hall where she could see the faces who were she was not used to watching except Khurana's. One way or the other they were involved in her life so when maan approached her she felt herself taking a sigh. No matter how she project herself she knew that she was not someone who would find herself comfortable in the gathering of the elites of the society. Maan eased her nervousness with his presence.

The party was in swing, the dance was announced and maan took the opportunity to take geet outside where he could talk with her in peace.

Would you mind taking me somewhere away from this exuberant gathering? I am not very much comfortable with all this crowd'. Maan asked her politely as he saw her allowing him to lead her. They walked towards the garden, there was so much open space having bushes of roses lined up. Maan saw geet walking in the direction of the spring flowers which were looking even more beautiful sight. The aroma was percolating in the air and it was kind of comforting for geet.

These are beautiful, Mrs khurana chose a very good place for the ball. I believe this ball will be able to provide for the schooling and housing for coming five years of blossoming flowers. ' she informed him as he was lost in her talks.

This property has been in the family since about two hundred years. It was my great grandfather who brought this for the family gatherings and this garden is specially maintained by mum, other than hosting these kind of balls and doing charity she enjoying owning gardens too. Come let me show you a better place', maan took geet to the other side of the property were there was a greenhouse. It didn't take him time to know her affinity for the nature. She was soft there was constant smile playing on her lips as she caressed those tips of the flowers. Maan couldn't help looking forward to spend some time with her but he couldn't impose himself on her. She must have a choice too that he didn't want to rob from her.

(THE GREENHOUSE)

He opened the door and there were sequences of light and there was a small path leading to the various varieties of plants. Geet noticed that there were different kinds of plants and it was well lit. She was in awe seeing the place. Small saplings were there and they spent time with maan patiently replying to her questions. Maan was enjoying his time with geet and she didn't even realize that he was the same person whom she loves to address as a Dusht danav'.

Geet, we should head back. I have a doubt that my mother must be searching you. Let's go', they made their way towards the ball with maan and geet walking side by side talking about the charity that maan found was her passion.

Sir, do you mind me asking you why you did you shouted on me yesterday when there was no fault of mine. I swear that it was Sasha ma'am who did it. I didn't misplaced the files but you didn't listened to me'. She asked maan, he was proving less of a dusht she had been knowing from past few months but she was the one who was lashed many times sometimes when she didn't had any fault of hers and geet's intuitive mind couldn't help asking maan why did he behaves like an absolute Hitler with her sometimes.

Maan stopped her the next moment from moving into the ball room and he turned her, allowing his hand to hold hers, next words that came from his mouth made her geet awestruck with the revelation that Maan khurana can apologize too well leaving an impact on the other person too.

I am sorry for yesterday geet but try to avoid the gossip mongers in the office'.
