Part 81
G- Meri hostel wali friends hai naa…wo keh rahi thi ki …it’s a better idea ki main move in ho jaayun…travel bachega and waise bhi yahan seconvenient hai…
M- Sahi keh rahi thi. I agree with them
He says looking directly at her
Her pupils dilate
G- Do you?
++++++++
Next day Geet wakes up with severe body pain & shiver
She feels terribly sick
She has no energy to get up
So she decides to sleep some more
She doesn’t realize how much time passed by
She just was having glimpses of waking up, being fed food and medicine, and going back to bed
She even has a little sensation of being put ice pack and wet cloth on her forehead
But her memory is hazy
She wakes up due to a commotion and some familiar voices
She realizes –‘Oh, they are the voices of my hostel mates’
‘But that’s Maan’s voice!’
‘What is he-?’
She opens her eyes to see the girls surrounding her
She finds Maan near the table full of food and medicines
She realizes she is at Maan’s place
“Hey Geet! How are you feeling now?”
G-wha-I?
She tries to form a sentence, but she is too weak
She even attempts to sit up but finds Maan’s warm hand gently pushing her down at her position
“We came here with your stuff”
“Maan called us & told us that you are sick”
She looks at Maan realizing she had been sick for 3 days and Maan had been taking care of her. And, that the girls had brought all her stuff and she has now practically moved in with Maan
++++++++
After the friends leave
Maan leans near her and touches her forehead and gives a satisfied nod after realizing that she doesn’t have a temperature
M-How are you feeling now?
G- Better
She answers seeing Maan in a new light
He nods
G-Thank you
She manages to utter; she wants to say so much more but knows words won’t do justice
Maan just nods unable to find better words to respond
He goes to clean up the stuff in the room, but stops mid-way
M- Geet!
G-Hmm?
M- Here. Keep your phone with you and check your mail. You might get call for an interview from abc hospital
She is surprises
G-What interview? I didn’t apply…
M- I shared your resume with them
He replies
When Geet had cried last time toh uss time Maan zyada kuch help nahi kar paya tha uski
But then he had investigated the matter
He even tried to understand ki Geet ka specialization kya hai and why she wanted that particular post that much. How will it help her career;he tries to find similar opportunity for her at other hospitals and manages to get Geet an interview
All legal and no back door dealing
He makes a very convincing case for Geet and the other hospital decides that Geet’s resume is quite impressive... she does deserve and so they decide that ok let's interview her and see
She frowns as her her temper rises
She is angry at Maan
G-Why are you meddling in my professional matters?
Maan just glances at her and chooses not to reply
Geet’s phone rings
Maan walks out of the room knowing it’s the hospital calling Geet for the interview
