RESCUE (Maan- Geet) pt14/pg73 last part(18thNOV) - Page 25

After Maan returned, completing his PG, he was called to Delhi by his grandma, he reluctantly went to see her, she forced him to stay at Delhi and join KC instead of KH, she said "look, Maan your father is still young and full of ideas, it has only been 10 years since he started KH, and if you so soon retire him it will be injustice" Maan found it as a very genuine reason he stopped to think about it, seeing him thoughtful Savitri said "Beta, I will not force you but, why don't you first join KC and gain some experience then suggest Mohneesh to open a KH branch at Delhi, this will also expand his business" he smiled and said "Dadi, you are a woman with vision, I will definitely join KC and later some day suggest Papa to expand in north". So Maan settled in Delhi, Savitri has some how got back the Mansion that her late husband has built and due to losses it was detained by bank, but now she repaid the loan and shifted to the KM, Maan too was impressed by the well built rich palatial house that needed repairs and first thing he had to do was hire some one to do the job, he called the KC financial adviser Adhiraj Gill to KM.

Nakul, the house help came in and informed Maan that Mr. Gill was here to meet him, Maan called him and as the man in specs entered he was taken aback to find that the advisor looked very familiar and as he stressed his mind he knew he was no other than Adi, he came forward and hugged him, Adi was surprised by such welcome, he pushed him back politely and said "sorry sir" Maan chuckled "Adi, you are Adi?" the confused man looked at him and said "yes, but, I mean" "Adi, I am Maan" now Adi was further shocked as he remembered Maan was a lean guy of say 5'4" height and had a clean face, he had not yet hit puberty so did not have any facial hair like the other boys at Kota, he was a chocolaty boy, and the man who now stood before him was a well built or say muscular man 6'1" high with a rough unshaven face and stern haircut, but as he looked at him more carefully he found yes eyes, his eyes have not changed they were the same the deep eyes of his Maan his best friend the part of four of them. His eyes were wet on recognizing him and the friends hugged back.

Later Adi told him how he, Dev and Arjun left after he disappeared and he was so down that he did not feel like continuing with Math and changed his subject to commerce and did his B.com (Hons.) and later M.com and bagged a job at KC and was now promoted to the senior post.

Maan happily joined KC with Adi on his side as a financial advisor he felt confident, he hanged a picture of Handa family on the left wall of his chamber and garlanded it; it was a picture of Mohinder, Rano and Geet. He called for his secretary and she entered the chamber with Adi, "Maan, she is Pinky Manchanda, she has done her B.com and is a qualified CS, she assisted Savitri Devi and now she will be your secretary, and Pinky this is Manav Khurana, now the MD of KC, he will take all decisions in Savitri Devi's absence" Pinky smiled at him and said "hello Mr. Khurana, it's nice meeting you" and put her hand forward for a hand shake, he lightly shook hands with her and said "hello, Ms. Manchanda, glad to meet you, and I will need your help at every step as I am new to this place" "you will get my full co-operation, sir, and you can call me Pinky" Maan smiled and acknowledged her.

Anjali course was also near completion and as Dev insisted she had to join Rai's for her internship, there was no other way or she will have to go to KGB groups where Brij worked, so she went to Bangalore; as she was the same age of NT both soon became friends and NT told her how she her bro Arjun and Dev had been long lost friends, she further told Anju that still two of the friends were missing and showed her the photographs of the four together at Kota, on seeing the picture Anju skipped many beats, she was surprised to know that Dev was the same boy who used to talk to her on the phone and called her Bhabhi ji, that's why he sounded so familiar, she then asked NT "your bro is Arjun Rai, right" she said "yes" Anju asked her "what about the other two?" NT sighed "no idea, but they will meet some day, who would have thought that bro who is studying in Delhi and Dev who was in Hyderabad would meet at Bangalore, while they were friends at Kota, now I believe we are Indians" Anju smiled sadly and said "may they meet soon"
