Hello Wonderful People,😛

Chapter 3
Naintara took the opportunity and said, "Daadima hum chalte hain, Maan Veerji hamara intezaar kar rahe honge. He does not like to wait". Devanshi nodded and smiled and Savitri hugged her and said "bye".
Geet's mouth fell wide open when she heard Naintara mention, Maan as "Maan Veerji".
Naintara turned to Geet and said, "aapse mil kar bahut khushi hui, Geet. Stay in Touch" and smiled.
Geet, who was at loss of words, just shook her head and smiled feebly. She watched the Khurana women head towards their car and asked her daadima, "Whom does Naintara address as Maan Veerji?"
Her daadima, Devanshi looked scanned her face for some time and said, "Maan Singh Khurana" and walked away to greet and bid a farewell to other people.
Geet recollected everything she had spoken ill about Maan Khurana. She started to feel Dizzy and started grumbling.
"Geet how could you be so stupid? You went and cribbed about Maan Khurana to his sister-in-law. Gosh, ab sab ko pata chalega, tuo daadima kya kahenge. Tum chup nahin reh skati Geet. kya zaroorat thi, yeh sab bholne ki".
She walked around nervously, playing around with the corners of her pallu. People kept telling her "bye" but she did not bother to respond. All she could recollect is her words and her stupid actions about Maan Khurana.
While in the tension, something struck her suddenly. She stopped midway in her track and smiled naughtily, "Geet, jo kaam tum kar nahin payi, ab wahin kaam Naintara karegi- Maan Khurana ko sunana. Because she would go and tell Maan Khurana about what I spoke and atleast that way someone would give it back to that khadoos, dusht daanav. Wonder what he thinks about himself. As though, I'm dying to marry him here. Granny had asked me to agree that's the only reason. However, anyways, all's well. No worries".
She smiled happily and adjusted her lehenga and pallu and went and joined the others. She got over the tension, hoping her words would hurt Maan Khurana, once he would come to know of them, through Naintara. Nevertheless, what was unknown to her was that Naintara, would never open her mouth in front of Maan Khurana. She only conveyed Geet's hatred for Maan to daadima and Dev, who only smiled and thought her anger, was justified.
The marriage episode had become history for Geet, but not for Maan. He still remembered Geet's words and they kept ringing in his ears, "Agar woh Maan Singh Khurana hain, tuo main kya karun aur Nahin hain, tuo bhi main kya karun?".
He thought to himself that he had done a wonderful job in not agreeing for marriage with her. He was glad he was right, because she was not right for him. Little did he know that the future had different plans for the both of them? ;-)
A few days passed. Geet walked into a beauty spa for some massages. She had to wait for some time and while she waited in the lounge, she had picked up a magazine. She turned a couple of pages and found the magazine boring, so almost left it back on the desk. However, picked it back again because a few words caught her attention, "Maan Singh Khurana".
She turned to the middle page where she found an article about him. There was a huge photo to the left side of the page with Maan in a serious business look, and his business attire. Geet stared at him, for some time and moved onto reading the article.
"A man of few words and a man of greater actions, Maan Singh Khurana is the youngest entrepreneur in the country, today. A graduate from Wharton School of Business, this man is the sole owner to the 30000 crore Khurana empire, which stands to be among the top three, business organizations in the country.
Maan Singh Khurana, popularly known as "MSK" by his employees comes across as a very private person, who does not like to stay in the media glare. He leads a simple yet sophisticated life, with his grandmother, Savitri Singh Khurana, widow of Harshvardan Singh Khurana, the founder of the Khurana Group. The other members of his family are Brother Dev Khurana and sister-in-law, Naintara. Maan Khurana's sister, Kiara Khurana is currently in London, pursuing a master's in Economics.
Maan Khurana has worked his way through the tough times in life. He took up the responsibilities of the Khurana Group right after his father's health deteriorated. He was 17 years then. He was appointed as the Managing Director and The Chief Executive Officer of the Khurana Group. Since then began his battle- taking into his tender, inexperienced hands the reins of the company that had long been their family pride, Maan Khurana, single handedly rebuilt the entire empire again and expanded it to further horizons. He stood as an epitome of strength for the company and his family that had received shock aftershock with the death of his parents- Mohit Khurana and Mamta Khurana.
"He looks at every challenge as an opportunity and strongly believes that there is no substitute to hard work. That's exactly what makes him stand out and stay so successful", says Dev, Maan's brother, when asked to speak a few lines on Maan's secret to success.
"So is marriage on cards for this angry young man?", asked our Journalist Sanjana and received a smile as an answer from Savitri Singh Khurana. Well, let's hope, all goes well for this young man, and he soon settles down with a beautiful yet smart lady. And the world would proclaim,- Match of Equals".
Geet closed the book and her eyes for a split of a second. No wonder this man had attitude and does not give a damn to anyone. She shook her head, opened her eyes, and thought to herself.
"No Geet, don't judge a person, just yet. You do not know anything about him. So why should you think he has attitude and a "don't-give-a-damn" attitude", she thought and opened the magazine again.
She looked at his picture and she looked at the depth in his eyes. Before she could continue staring at those eyes that spoke volumes, the woman in the spa called her in.
While she was getting her massage done, her brother called.
"Haan Veerji, kahiye", she said, signaling the woman to stop while she spoke on the phone.
"Tickets to Singapore, ready Geet", he told her.
"Ji!", she said.
"hum sab jaa rahe hain- you, me, bhabhi, mom and dad and grand mom. Flight is on the 14th of August, at 4:30pm", he responded.
"aaj date kya hain?", she asked, when the woman in the spa, pointed out to the calendar on the opposite wall that read, "August 11".
"August 11th, Geet", responded her brother Brij and said, "If there is any shopping you have to do, complete it as soon as possible. Finish any other work that you have, before we leave. We will not be coming back to India for the next 8-10 months".
"Ji Veerji", she said and hung up.
She made a list of all the friends she had to meet and all the things she had to buy. She also made a list of all the food corners she had to try before she left. She hated the food in Singapore, though it was very close to the food in India. She never liked Singapore, but her brother and her Daadima had some business there and hence all their family would travel with them occasionally.
Geet walked out of the spa and made a few calls to her friends. She told them she wanted to meet them and made her way to the car. She drove away to the restaurant, where her friends were to meet.
A few miles away, Maan was working in his office. He was working with Sasha on a design. His assistant, Shreyasi, walked in, with a fax.
"Sir!", she said, softly, and Sasha rolled her eyes and gave her a dirty look. Shreyasi, returned it with a smile.
Maan took the paper from her hand, looked at it, and smiled.
"Good job!" he said, looking at Shreyasi. She smiled and walked out of his cabin. Sasha who was very curious as to what the paper was, asked Maan.
"MSK, who kounsi paper hain?", very softly.
"None of your business, Sasha. Let's continue with the design", he told her rudely and she had no choice but to focus on the work.
Maan and Sasha worked on the design until seven in the evening and then she bid him goodbye. He nodded and called for a cup of black coffee. Shreyasi had to hand over some papers, to Maan and walked in with those papers and left. Maan had a conference call and ended up staying in the office until nine.
Once the call ended, he called the reception and asked the driver to get his car from the basement. He was about to walk out, when he remembered the fax and took the papers in his hand.
He smiled and thought to himself, "Singapore huh? No ways, Geet Handa. Everyone, in your family will go to Singapore but you! This is what you get for meddling with Maan Singh Khurana".
