Maan woke up at 5:30 to go to the gym, he grabbed a towel n made his way out, he entered the room and saw Geet walking around with Pari.
Geet, he called out gently
She stood rooted in her place then slowly turned to see Maan in his vest and tracks.
Sorry, Pari ke waje se aap jaag gaye
Nahi, woh mujhe gym jana ta, par tum itne sawaire?
Pari utt gayi hai, woh nahi sona chahti
Kyun?
Pata nahi, usko khilaya diya hai, aur change bhi kiya, shayad neend udh gayi hai
He smiled a little, he saw how tired she looked, her eyes were red, and had dark patches.
Tum so jao, Pari ko yaha de do
Nahi aap gym jaye
Geet de do mujhe. Maan forwarded his arms for Pari who happily jumped to him
Par sir
Geet sir bolna bandh karo
Toh phir kya bolu?
Maan
Par aap ke naam kaise le sakti hoon?
Kyun nahi le sakti?
Aap mere boss hai
Sirf office main, ghar pe toh tumhara pat... I mean friend hoon
Haan lekin
Geet ghar pe sirf aur sirf Maan.. ok
Ji
Maan played with Pari, tickling her, and animatedly talking to her, Geet leaned against the head rest and watched them, soon Pari was back to sleep, Maan lay her down properly.
Thank you, Geet whispered.
Kis liye?
Woh Pari..
Maine kaha hai na, Pari meri beti hai, aur yeh mera farz ta... aur haan dosti main no sorry no thank you... ok
Hmm...
Ab so jao
Nahi koi faida nahi hai, dho gante main utt kar office bhi jana hai
Dekho tum bohut tired ho, aaj araam kar lo
Nahi, main nahi chahti ke aap mere liye exceptions banaye, office main sirf aap ki employee hoon.
Janta hoon Geet, aur main koi bhi exceptions nahi bana rahi hoon, tum tired ho iss liye aaj araam karlo.
Please.. aap ne kaha ke aap mere
Teek hai, Maan interrupted.. office zarur aana lekin ab todhi der so jao kyun ki main nahi chahti ki mere employees aise dikhe jaise char paanch din ke liye soye nahi.
She glared at him, Maan smirked, she turned her face away.
Geet so jao, baad main gussa kar lena, with that said he left the room, Geet couldn't help but smile a little, she remembered their little convo, never had she been so comfortable with someone within a day. She lay back down to catch up on her sleep, and slowly closed her eyes.
*******************************
Geet hurriedly grabbed her things and quickly dressed Pari and fed her, she cursed herself for waking up so late, she partially blamed Maan as well. It was already 9 o' clock.
Geet walked down with Pari, as she was about to leave Dadima called from behind.
Bete breakfast toh kar lijiye
Nahi Dadima woh late ho chuki hoon
Maan kuch nahi kahega
Nahi yeh baat nahi hai, bas main... main wahan jaa ke kar loongi
Ek minute, Dadima excused herself, Geet waited for her to return, she knew Maan wouldn't say anything but she didn't want to take advantage as he's done a lot for her.
Dadima came back, - yeh lijiye, she passed a box,- raaste main kha lijiye.
Dadima iss ki kya zarurat ti?
Zarurat ti, aap bemaar par jayenge agar aise kaam karenge.
Thank you, Geet whispered taking the box, never had she had so much affection since she left her parents, she placed a kiss on Dadima's cheeks and left.
Dadima smiled and was happy that Geet was getting a little comfortable.
******************************
Geet, Sasha called out to her as she reached near her cabin
Yes
Why are you late?
I don't believe I need to answer you
Fine.. we'll see how you answer MK
I'll answer IF he asks, Geet replied and entered her cabin ignoring Sasha.
She placed Pari down and got down to her work without eating the breakfast Dadima gave her.
Dadima called Maan on his phone.
Hello
Maan bete Geet pohuch gayi
Ji Dadima abhi aayi hai
Uss ne khana khaya
Ji?
Humne breakfast diya ta, ghar pe nahi khayi iss liye
Erm Dadima woh sirf abhi ayi hai, shayad todhi baad kha sakti hai
Teek hai bete lekin khayal rukhiye ke woh khaye warna tabiyat kharab ho sakti hai
Ji Dadima
Teek hai bete, aur main aapke liye aur Geet ke liye ghar se lunch bejwa dungi
Ji
He bid bye and looked through the blinds to see had Geet eaten, seeing the box on her desk, he realised she hadn't ate.
Maan sighed heavily, he didn't want to force her or anything or even interfere knowing that she may just start distancing herself.
He called her on her extension,
Hello, she answered the phone.
Geet tumne khana khaya?
Ji? Woh
Geet woh Dadima pooch rahe hai, agar khana nahi khaya toh pareshaan honge isi liye
Ji woh main kha lungi
Teek hai, aur khane ke baad, mere cabin mein ana
Ji.
*************************************
After she ate, she checked Pari once before leaving towards his cabin, at that time Sasha also entered Maan's cabin, Geet sighed knowing she'll definitely say something.
She knocked on the door and waited for Maan to call her in.
Maan called her in, as she entered she saw Sasha stood really close to him in the pretext of showing the blueprints.
Beto Geet.
Geet sat down, Sasha glared at her, Maan hadn't a clue as he was busy with the blueprints.
Here, and you can leave, he told Sasha, passing her the blueprints after checking them.
Sasha passed a look at Geet then left, Maan turned to her and spoke.
Aaj Mr Mehra aa rahe hai, aur tum unke project pe kaam kar rahe ho, isi liye tum har meetings pe, har party, sab kuch main shamil hona hoga.
Geet looked a little resistant, and Maan sensed it, but he couldn't do much as she was doing the project and there s no one available to take over at the moment.
Geet look there's nothing to be afraid of, I'll be with you on each step of the project, and there's going to be karishma to help you.
She nodded, then excused herself.
Maan knew she may need some time hence decided to leave her alone then may be speak to her at home.
