Geet was not in her right senses to reflect on how she reached home. His words were vibrating in her ears. Were these the only thoughts about her in his mind? Strangely she wasnt feeling humiliated. She believed she loved that man but after this day could she even allow her thoughts to wander towards him? When she reached home the party was almost over. Aadi was just happy to get his work done while the others were too exhausted to notice her mental condition. Somwhow her half sane mind had got her out of his place and to the office where she handed the security the file instructing them to give it to Sasha and then made her way back home.

As soon as everybody was off to bed,Geet made her way to the terrace. But the serene atmosphere failed to engulf her in its embrace. Such was the hurt she felt having him speak to her what his heart felt. It was true. The mouth always spoke from the heart's abundance and since he thought so low about her, he conveyed just what he felt and made sure his message reached home. She coughed in an attempt to hide the sobs which were threatening to escape. Did he really think of her that way? Then what was that concern all about? Yes, she had given herself to him not because she was some wh**e rather her love overcame any other common sense. He called thier act of love a mistake saying he was distracted? Was that the only significance it held for him? She remembered that she had called thier kiss a mistake, but she never meant it. It was afterall her first kiss and she was as nervous as a wreck after that and she blabbered whatever came to her mouth. He could have clarified things with her, but instead he chose to believe that she belonged to the category of cheap women.

However much she tried to put him out of her mind, she could not deny the fact that her heart beat for him. Maybe for him it was all about getting physical, maybe he was physically attracted to her like he was to countless other women in the past, wasnt that the exact thing he tried to attempt with her in the first place? Well, she could give him news. Neither her heart, nor her body was for sale. She wiped her tears with a firm determination in mind to close his chapter forever in her heart and soul.

******************************

One week had gone by with neither of them looking at each other's face. Geet somewhere in her heart hoped that Maan would apologize to her but what did she expect of that dusht danav anyways? He would apologize the day devil rots in his own hell.

Geet, Yash, Vikram and few other senior employees were working on some designs when suddenly Geet felt that the men around her had stopped working. Looking up, she realised what exactly had caught her attention. A tall young lady in a bottle green cocktail dress and looks to kill, entered the office in all her elegance. Geet hersef could not stop gaping at her. The woman was another name for perfection. As all the office watched, Geet saw Maan come near the reception to greet the lady with a smile on his face which she had never witnessed till date. And what she saw next from the computer room situated opposite to the reception caused her heart a sharp pang of pain. The lady wrapped herself around him while he engulfed her in his embrace. Once they came out of the hug, Maan put her hand around her waist and led her to the lift, most probably heading towards his cabin.

A sudden prick of tears surrounded her eyes and she rubbed it away with her dupatta, acting like something had entered her eyes.

"Just who is that nymph dude?" Yash exclaimed and other employees nodded in agreement.

"As far as i know, she is Garcia, Maan Sir's ex-girlfriend. She is a supermodel by proffession and they were caught cozying up together many a time as per sources." One of the employees informed them.

"Boy! Our boss has an awesome taste, name the field and you have it.Did you say she was his ex? I wonder what broke them up. If i was in his place, before Miss Garcia knew it, i would ask her to marry me. She is so beautiful, i cant take my eyes off her." Yash stated with a drool.

"You never know. They can even get back together. She is believed to have been his girlfriend for quite a long time.But M.K somewhere said that he doesnt believe in marriage as it would hamper his lifestyle and he loves his life without the commitment phrase in it. Wouldnt they make the perfect page 3 couple if M.K supposedly changed his mind?" The employee suggested and everybody started having a heated discussion about it, not knowing that Geet was doing her best to hold back her pain. Only when Sasha came and gave them a light scolding, did they get back to work but Geet's day had already been ruined.

*********************************

Meera, Pinky, Aadi and ev noticed that Geet looked depressed. They tried talking to her but she just brushed off the topic. She was not willing to talk to anybody, especially about him. People's first reaction would be to laugh thier hearts out at her, considering Pinky had warned her well in advance against falling for Maan Singh Khuraana. She had become a robot with all her emotions bottled up. She would go to work, come back, eat, sleep, get up the next day and the same routine would follow. It was like she had lost interest in life. She was getting more and more miserable thinking about that Garcia lady and Maan sir. But what did she think of herself? Would she, an ordinary girl stand a chance in Maan Singh Khurana's life? She could kid herself, not anyody else. She tried avoiding coming face to face with him but whenever she got a chance, unwillingly her mind would force her to look for him.

*************************************

Maan's otherwise terrible life was made a little better by Garcia's presence. Atleast he had something to look forward to when he was going through a bad phase. Her eyes and face wouldnt stop haunting him, but her real self refused to acknowledge his presence. There wasnt a day when he did not regret the words he uttered to her but he couldnt get himself to apologize to her. What they had shared that day was beautiful and pure! Nothing in this world could compare to what he felt. But she ruined everything by saying it was a mistake. Ofcourse that didn't give him a right to get back at her, but sometimes he couldnt control his anger and as a result he was punishing himself everyday from that day for hurting her.

As he was in his office going through some files, he recieved a call from Mr.Chopra who informed him that he was back from london and he would like to meet him at the construction site along with the team leader to specify to him the progress in work. Maan tried to convince him that he could come alone, but Mr. Chopra would have none of it. Apparantly he was very much impressed by Miss Geet Handa's work and he would like her to show him around personally.

With a sigh, Maan instructed his secretary to inform Geet to meet him in the parking lot in fifteen minutes with the all the files on the Chopra's project.

******************************

Geet was on the computer when Maan's secretary informed her to meet him in the parking lot with the required files. Geet's heart did a summersault when she heard his name but then she realized that maybe even the others were called and in any case she would maintain her cool with him since he was now having a girlfriend.

*******************************

When she reached the parking lot she saw a sleek black car in gear and the man of her dreams waiting for her behind the steering wheel alone. Her heart did a silent bangra but she maintained an indifferent face and went closer to the car when the driver's door opened and he came towards the other side to hold the door for her when she got inside. Once inside the car, Maan got out of the parking lot an began driving towards Noida.Maan decided against taking his security along with him as it was already evening and they needed to escort some od his Daadimaa's friends visiting her from London.

The atmosphere in the car was getting thicker by the moment with neither of them making an attempt to talk.Both of them were angry with each other but thier hearts wanted to communicate with the other.

Maan knew that he should apologize to Geet. It was not her mistake she did not have feelings for him. He would not let his ego come in the way. Geet just kept quiet thinking about the picture of Garcia in his arms.

Soon they reached Noida and Mr. Chopra along with his team members welcomed them. He introduced Geet to all of them and they praised her on handling the project extremely well for a new comer.

Maan just stood aside and listened as Geet explained in detail to them about the progress of the construction. He could go on listening to her forever. Her intelligence and thorough knowledge on the subject impressed him.

Geet was busy explaining, as a result she failed to notice a large stone in front of her and was about to trip when she was caught around the waist by a strong pair of hands. The familiar feeling of love arose as she looked into his eyes after so many days. They seemed to be lost until the voice of the others brought them back. They straightened themselves unaware of the fact that a very angry pair of eyes were watching thier every move.

When they were done it was almost night. Mr.Chopra insisted that they have dinner with him but Geet refused saying that they were getting late. Once they took his leave, they left for Delhi.

Maan was thinking of various ways to apologize while Geet was feeling very uncomfortable with the silence and especially with his presence. They reached the highway and still they did not speak a word to each other.

Maan had just picked up the courage to tell sorry when the car started coughing and suddenly came to a halt in the middle of nowhere. With a curse Maan got out of the car and checked the engine for any fault. When he could not find any fault he closed the bonnet and started looking around.

As he looked around he could smell petrol. When he bent down he saw that there was a trail of petrol on the road and under the car. This only meant one thing. Somebody had tampered with the petrol tank. Maan had a gut feeling that something was wrong. He took the cell out of pocket and was about to make a call when somebody hit him on the head with a club.

As Geet watched in horror, a man hit Maan on the head while two other men dragged him against a tree. Geet could not make out who the men were in the dark. Without further thought she got out of the car and screamed Maan while Ramu, the labourer from the construction site and two of the other thugs walked towards her with a smirk on thier faces!
