Chapter 8: A knock on the Door

UNREALISTIC, was the only word to describe the happenings of the week, The Coffee Incident was a dream come true for most of the junior employees and was a horrific nightmare to Sam. It was the downfall of the self-proclaimed queen, the office which once cowered in front of her was now laughing behind her back.

Maan didn't seem to care about it and she didn't mind it, if not for her enigmatic charm or his fame, they would have separated their ways long ago. Both knew that this was a mere adjustment which would be ended once she found enough success or he found someone he loves. Maan was the least of her worries right now, she had made a bad impression in front of Nainatara Rathode. Sam had tried to amend the situation by being extra nice to her but with no success but what irritated her the most was, that Geet was somehow very close to Naina. She could not believe that a castoff like Geet had entrapped a big fish like Naina, she had tried to suppress Geet at work but all her efforts would go in vain as Geet now had learnt to ignore her.

Few days ago, there was a client meeting to reveal their summer collection and she had purposely poured water over Geet's collection book. Geet who seemed to be unaffected about it and had cleaned up her book and just told

We need to do something about Samvedhana, it seems that Miss Butter Fingers has a habit of spilling things around'.

The meeting went without any hassle as Geet had a softcopy of every design and the clients were all praises for her effort and ability. Another time she had deliberately arrived late for a fashion show organized by a partnering fashion house where she had to be the show stopper but to her surprise the show was a huge success thanks to Geet's quick thinking about replacing the show stopper with a model who had almost the same build as Sam.

I quit!' she had told Maan, in the designers meet.

She had finally got an offer from their rival group, Karma and Co., and she had gladly accepted it as it was all what she had wanted, she knew this would mean that her relationship with Maan would end but it had to happen one day. She was glad to see that many were tensed, why wouldn't they be when their huge release was just weeks away and their top model had walked out of it. It would mean a lot of rework as not everyone could carry any clothing style with as much ease as she did, their designs had to be made over to suit other models. Geet looked appalled when Naina spoke,

Your resignation is accepted, please give us a formal notice for the same' and Maan who looked like he was about to say something went silent.

Geet, please make the necessary arrangements to relieve Samvedhana and make sure we've made changes to the designs'

Yes Naina, they will be made by this weekend' Geet had replied.

Sam was seething with anger now, it took less than a week to replace her??? It was like an insult added to the injury, she had looked over to Maan and that moment both had understood that whatever they had was now past. She had stormed out fuming and an idea had struck her, making sure there was no one at sight she had walked into the private closet where the already devised clothes were donned on to the mannequins, with a pair of scissors in hand she had taken out all her anger on those clothes and made sure to take pictures of the designs for the upcoming Fall Fashion Week in an attempt to thwart down the humiliation she felt she suffered.

The day had come when all the fashion giants would be under the same roof, The Fall Fashion Week. Many companies would be exhibiting their collections to the world to gain name and fame, inspite of the damage done to the clothes, the event had been a huge success for The R&K, she had watched the ramp walk in horror as she realized that with some minor alterations to the dresses she had cut, they looked as good as new and even better than they were originally. Everyone were in praise for the intern who had handled everything single handedly and there were rumours about how she would be introduced in the end of the show to the fashion giants, Sam was in the dressing room when she saw Geet hurrying across the corridor towards the rooms allocated to them. After making sure that Geet was the only person in the room, she had gone in

Is R&K in a financial cricis? I never thought that they would walk down the ramp in tattered clothes'

If only you had given your brain as much work as you give your mouth, you would have been somewhere else' Geet had countered.

We will know that soon, in the mean time you will be delighted to see these pictures I took from the private closet the other day' she showed Geet the pictures she had taken of their designs and she was happy with the anger on Geet's face.

What will people say when they learn that 2 huge fashion houses are having the same designed outfits on the stage? What will you do when the news gets out that the newly hired intern might have sold the designs to the rival company? How will you face Nainatara?'

but was surprised to see that Geet's anger had turned into a smirk.

Miss Slippery Hands, be careful what you let slip through your tongue. How do you know that the 2 fashion houses are going to wear the same outfits, none of our models are here yet. And what if I say this conversation is being recorded and would be played as proof once you are done with whatever rubbish plan you have in your mind?'

Watching Sam's shocked expression Geet continued

Don't fret Samvedhana, no one is recording the conversation. But make sure you don't slip during the ramp walk just like how you let slip the information about you stealing our designs'

with that Geet watched smilingly as Sam left the room in frustration. The final event had started and the models came out with the best of the best collections, Karma and Co's collections were astounding and people found it to be very impressive. Sam was their top model and Mr.Vikrant walked her down the ramp.

It was R&K's turn and Sam was smirking at the impending doom, but she was left gaping at them once the models started walking. It was a fusion between traditional and contemporary Indian wears and everyone at the show were in awe with them, the dresses were not just radiant they were elegantly mesmerising, there was a round of thunderous applause when Naina introduced Geet who was also their showstopper, to the panel. It had been an hour since that and everyone had almost left the premise, Sam had seen Geet get into one of the rooms and she took advantage of the situation to look the room from outside without making any noise and walked away with the key. Maan was walking out of the venue when he saw Sam with her rumoured boyfriend/model Rahul, and she smirked at him, telling him as if she had moved on already, surprisingly Maan felt almost next to nothing.

Is anyone there? Helloo... someone please help me, please???'

she had broken down then, the lights of the building was switched off and she was feeling very claustrophobic, she didn't want to be in that place, it felt like the darkness was consuming her, the room had no windows to let the moonlight in as this building had centralized air conditioning. She didn't know when this venue would be used again and she definitely didn't want to stay there for a long time. She started banging the door with all her might but her room being in the far corner didn't help carry her voice. Giving up she went to a corner of the room, hoping someone would eventually realize that she was missing and would come searching for her.

Maan was about to enter his room when Dev called him aside,

Hey bhai, wassup?'

Maan, where is Geet? She was supposed to be here before you but I lied to Dadi by saying that she would be coming with you. Where is she?'

Maan said he would go and look for her and went straight to the venue, he knew this had something to do with Sam, he should have known that by the smirk on her face, how could he have forgotten about Geet, every passing minute he felt angrier at himself and at Sam, he had known all along that she was with him only for the fame she would get but he should have known better. He had known how Sam would want to get back at Naina and seeing how it wouldn't work out well for her, she would go for the next target Geet. He parked his car in front of the building and enquired the security guard if there were anyone still inside, he took the keys from the guard and went through all the nearby rooms whilst shouting Geet's name, he finally found her whimpering while crying in the dark corners of a changing room. He was glad she was alright and had promised himself not to let anything like this happen to her again.

Maan...' she had whispered as she saw him and ran towards him with all the strength she could muster. She hugged him by his neck, he had wrapped his arms around her back and pulled her close, gently rubbing her arms. She sunk into the warmth of his side and let her tears fall freely onto his shirt, appreciating the simple gesture.

'Shhh... it's alright, I'm here now.' he had told her pulling her more into himself

'You're safe!' he had reassured himself rather than her. The hug though seemed like an act of mere affection had done more than they could imagine, it was perhaps the fragile beginnings of love, the feeling of her body so close to his soothed him more than he had expected.

A knock on the Door: Geet ne maari entry dil mein bhaji ghanti, tan tan tan tan😆

P.S: Sorry for the late update and I've changed the name of the chapter and added a few more lines. Sorry early readers, due to this update you might have to read the chapter twice.

Previous : Chapter 7

Next: Chapter 9

Haww!! what was that??
I felt as if some tornado hit the R&K fashions..
Itna sab kuch just in a week..
I am super happy that Sam is finally out & also geet did not react,,
But she is so bad yaar, destroyed everything& then even gave their designs to other company..
She also locked geet😲
I so hate her.. Do something with her na..
Now what will they do?? their designs are copied, then what are they gonna present.. Also someone else will take credit for geet's hard work.. This is really cruel..
But one good thing happened.. Maaneet hug.. He surely feels something for her.. Or else he wouldn't have had such strong urge to protect her..
Waiting for next update & some drama & realizations..
