PART-3(New Feelings)

The next morning set the pattern for the days to come. Geet again came on time, went straight to her cabin. She kept her small pitthu bag in her room and then she came out to talk to Pinky and Adi. She then went to the cafeteria for a cup of coffee and then carrying the cup she went back to start her work.

Maan had come in when she had been in the cafeteria, he had very casually glanced at the cabin through the glass partition and had at first thought that she hadn't arrived, but then he saw her bag lying on the table-top. He very deliberately closed the binds as he didn't want to see her while working. As Geet walked past his door, he watched how she very cheerfully waved to someone outside his visible range and then again stopped to talk with some other person and so on'''''"How can she know so many people in the very first day of her job"? he said to himself, "She will not be able to concentrate on her job and mess up my project, that is the problem, she isn't yet mature enough to be serious about her work".

Geet on the other hand had already started on her drawings, she glanced at the binds on the glass partition and thought, "Thank God, the Khadus loves his privacy, that way I can also get mine." Then she became so busy with her work that time flew past and she didn't think about him.

At lunch time Pinky knocked and came in, "oye Geet aren't u going to have ur lunch? Come we are taking our break now, Adi sir is keeping our place, let's go", she started to pull Geet's hand.

"No Pinky, I can't I have to finish this atrium area today as tomorrow I have to attend my lecture so I will have only half a day to work, and u know if I don't have something to show by the end of the day, Mr.Kharus will surely have something to say, don't worry I'll have something as soon as I finish here, u go on".

"Who is Kharus? Maan Sir?" Pinky started to laugh.

"Ok, are u sure? Will I send something here for u?

"No Pinky, I might even join u if I can complete it soon, so you go".

Pinky went off towards the cafeteria and Geet once again bent over her drawing board.

Maan was coming from his conference room which was on the 1^st floor of his office, one level up, and as he was descending, he saw her through the other glass window which opened towards the staircase.

He knew most of his employees were having their lunch break; he even lessened his stride as he neared her cabin but then thought she must have already had her lunch and so was still there instead of the cafeteria. " Anyway", he thought " it isn't my place or duty to keep tags on her."

It was 6.30pm and the office was almost empty, Maan went towards the cafeteria to get a cup of coffee, he entered the room and made straight for the vending machine when he heard a thud, as he turned the corner to go towards the area where there was the kitchen when SMACK!!!!! He ran into Geet, and she started yelling with her eyes closed.

"Stop it", he said, "why are u screaming"?

Geet opened her eyes and looked tearfully at Maan, "First u scare me and then u scream at me, not fair".

"Do u scream like that whenever u run into someone? And why would I scare u? I didn't even know u were here", Maan said with his hands at his waist.

"No I am not a coward, but I didn't expect anyone to come to the cafeteria now as everybody have already left or are leaving, so I got scared when u crept up so quietly".

"So what should I do, do tell me, should I start announcing my arrival into different sections of my own office so that I don't go around scaring people who are not supposed to be there at such a late hour? Why aren't u also among the gone or going to go people? I don't give overtime in this office."

Geet imagined a soldier from the mogul period announcing'''''.. "baa adabh, ba mulaiza, , hochiyar, shenshaye Maan Singh Khurana phadhar reha hai'''''''''''.."

And she couldn't hold back her mirth thinking MSK dressed like Akbar or someone from that era. She dissolved in squeals of laughter.

Maan didn't find the situation funny in any way, he was livid with anger, "Is this girl crazy? Would u care to share ur joke?"

"No it doesn't suite u", Geet said holding onto her sides with laughter.

"Would u care to elaborate what doesn't suite me?" Maan said with clenched teeth.

"The dress," Geet said with fresh laughter.

Maan looked down at his clothes and became more angry, "What is wrong with my attire, until today nobody had the audacity to criticize my clothes , is this how u behave with ur Boss? Don't u have any manners?"

Geet understood that he has become very angry and attempted to explain, "I was just imagining u in Akbar's durbar clothes and an attendant shouting, "baa adabh, ba mulaiza, , hochiyar, shenshaye Maan Singh Khurana phadhar reha hai'''''''''''..".

"That is why I said u don't look good in ur dress, I never meant anything about your office clothes, or anything, but if u ask me, your clothes are'''''''''.."

"WHAT"? Maan shouted,

Geet 's eyes went very wide seeing how angry Maan sir had become. She said "sorry, didn't mean to make u angry, I was so hungry and so I thought to make something for myself, I have some work left to be done, so'''''''''''"

Maan just went on looking at her with his hands resting on his waist.

"Would u like a cup of coffee and a sandwich?"Geet asked in a very low voice.

Maan didn't answer, he went to the vending machine and pressed down, but nothing happened, He gave the machine a low curse and then stalked out from there. Geet had watched everything, she then again went into the kitchen, made a fresh pot of coffee and called their office peon, Ashok Babu.

She asked him to take the pot to MSK and not to tell him anything about who had prepared the coffee. Ashok Babu had been with the company for the past 30years and since Maan or Chote sahab as he was known among the servants of KC and their Mansion had taken over, he had never seen anybody take any such step without consulting Maan first, he liked the new girl and agreed to do as Geet said.

Ashok babu knocked and entered Maan's cabin with the pot of coffee and his coffee mug, Maan was talking over the phone with someone, Ashok babu waited. On finishing Maan frowned at him,

"Chote Sahab, coffee, the vending machine is out of order and u wanted a cup, so I brought this for u."

"Thank u , Ashok babu, I really needed a cup." Man accepted the cup offered by Ashok babu and sipped,

"The coffee is great, thank u, iam going to be late so u take off".

"I have put the pot over the hot plate, it will stay warm a long time, u can have the remaining after sometime also". Ashok babu left, he went straight to Get's cabin and told her that Maan had liked the coffee and that he hadn't told Maan anything.

Geet told him that she was leaving and enquired whether she could drop him off somewhere. And together they left.

Maan was standing looking out of his window, sipping his coffee when he saw Geet's scooty go past with Ashok babu sitting at her back,

"Such a strange girl, I moment she does things which makes me question her sainty and the next something totally different and mature, I can't seem to figure her out". He then shrugged and turned towards his desk, he saw a handwritten note on top of his files secured with a paperweight.

The note was from Geet, it contained,

"Sir, I have my lectures tomorrow and will be attending them in the afternoon from 2pm so if something important needs to be done then plz let me know before that, I'll try finishing them in the first hour itself, Good night."

Maan held the note for a long time, a strange feeling went through him, no one had ever tried to tell him anything through notes before this, not even office stuff like this, he felt as if Geet was from a whole different world.

Next morning Geet came a little early and finished off the atrium drawing that she had been doing. Maan came in at 9.30am and straight way went to get his first cup of coffee from the vending machine(which was nw working). He started to sip at it but didn't like its taste. He called Ashok babu.

"Ashok babu can u make me a cup of coffee like u did yesterday evening?" he asked.

Ashok babu went straight to Geet, "Madame, sir is asking for another cup of yesterday's coffee, what should I do?"

"Aap chaliye, iam coming," Geet assured him and followed him to the kitchen. She again made a pot of coffee, carried hers one along with her and Ashok babu took the pot along with the cup to MSK.

Maan sipped at the coffee and looked up, "why didn't u tell me all these years that u can make such fabulous coffee, I would never have had the vending machine one then"

"I too didn't know", Ashok babu muttered.

"plz make sure that u make a pot for me everyday from now on." So saying Maan asked him to leave.

Geet had watched this exchange through the glass partition (which someone had forgotten to close while tidying up the cabins) and she was very glad,

"So the Khadus knows how to smile too".

When the clock chimed 12 noon, Geet went with her finished drawings and knocked at MSK's cabin and was asked to enter,

"Yes?" MSK asked without looking up,

"Sir, the atrium drawing", Geet put the rolled up papers on his table.

Maan sat back and looked at her without saying anything.

"Did u read the note that I sent u yesterday, sir",Geet asked tentatively.

"Yes, but why didn't u come to tell me yourself?"

"Sir u were so angry with me because of that cafet..er..ia''''so i thought I had better send the note with Ashok babu''''.."

"Sorry for yesterday, sir, I shouldn't have made a joke out of ur attire'''''." Geet trailed off.

Maan kept looking at her sheepish expression, she was looking like a small girl, the way she was admitting her mistake.

"That's ok, try not to repeat ur mistakes and we will go along just fine," he answered briskly.

"I know sir, my Chachu also says the same that I should be more serious and think more before doing something impulsive'." Geet started to talk with her elaborate hand gestures once again, she completely forgot yesterday's incident.

"I believe u have to go somewhere", Maan reminded her while once again looking at the papers that he had been studying before she had come in.

"Oh! I completely forgot," Geet covered her mouth with the palm of her hand. "OK, bye sir, have a nice day," and she rushed off from there.

Maan felt a small smile tugging at his mouth, he unconsciously followed her movements first through her cabin where she rushed in, took her bag and then rushed out, then she had a moment for everybody as she went towards the exit. Waving here, talking there and as soon as she went out of the main door through the reception area, Maan felt sad as if the day had lost its charm.

He didn't understand what was the reason for this feeling as he didn't acknowledge that his eyes had been following her for so long.
