Recap:
Pari followed her and after freshening up they had good breakfast. Geet loved the inside of the house just as much as she loved the outside. But, all the more, she couldn't stop loving her new room.
Sure, she missed her room back in India. After all, she had designed it herself and decorated it all by herself using her imagination. (I'll post a picture of her new soon by next update)
Chapter 13
Pari had a talk with Vicky informing him that they were in New York and asked when would be the right time to come to office and introduce herself. After consulting Maan, he called back Pari and told her to come by next morning. "Maan also wants to talk to you about something. I'm sending you his number. Please call him."
Pari: "Sure." In few seconds, she received a text message and called the number given.
Maan: "Hello?"
Pari: "Maan... Sir?" she added sir as she wasn't sure if she should talk to him formally or as a friend that she had met few days ago over the net.
Maan: "Yes. Who is this?"
Pari: "M Pari. Vicky said you wanted to talk to me?"
Maan realized who it was and putting aside the file, "Oh yes. Hey. And no need to be this formal with me. You can call me Maan."
Pari smiled to hear this. she thought, "Phew! He isn't the demanding type of boss." She said to him, "Ok. Sure."
Maan: "I wanted to ask...your friend...will she be coming with you tomorrow?"
Pari: "Should she or should she not?"
Maan: "It's up to her as to when she wants to join. I'm only asking because, like I said, she'll be working for my friend and not me, it's essential that I inform him."
Pari: "That is true. We can come by your office anytime. Just not right now."
Maan: "Why is that?"
Pari: "Umm.. there's been a small situation and right now she's mad at me."
Geet yelled from the living room, who was hearing their conversation, "And you still didn't apologize or tell me the reason!"
Maan heard the voice. It was faint. He could clearly make out the voice to be of a girl and it seemed musical to him. Even her anger seemed so magical. He asked, "What type of situation?"
Pari didn't know if she should tell him or not. As much as she loved talking to him, she knew that at the end, he is her boss. Maan sensed this. "Don't worry. You can tell me."
Pari: "Thing is that when we came we saw this..." She narrated the story of how they caught a couple making out and Geet's reaction and now Geet being mad at her for laughing and not even telling what she had said.
Hearing this, Maan also started laughing. "Omg! She is so innocent. She has no idea what she said."
Pari: "Yea. And now i regret laughing because I don't want to explain it to her. And if you saying she's innocent, then you're wrong. Few days ago, she pulled this huge prank in a party and the side-effect of that can still be seen on the person's skin."
Maan: "Sounds evil. Well, i'll leave you to pacify her and she can tag along with you tomorrow if she's still not mad at you." Giggling, he went back to his work...
_______________________________________________
Geet was really mad at Pari and no matter how much she tried, she ignored her the whole day. At last, evening came. Pari had an amazing idea that Geet couldn't resist no matter how mad she was. She made the arrangements and found out a few things necessary to carry out her plan. All the while, Geet was in her room letting her anger out on drawing sketches.
She sketches what ever come in her mind that is related to architecture and buildings when ever she is really mad or really happy. She can't remember when was the last time she sketched out of happiness. Usually, whenever she sketched with this sort of strong emotions, her sketch comes out really perfect with no flaws.
Around 6:30, everything was ready and Pari came to her room and said standing by the door, "Get ready."
Geet looked up from her sketch pad and said, "Not interested. Go away."
Pari walks over to her, "Look, I'm really sorry for laughing and then not explaining to you. But this is something you have to understand by yourself. Please forgive me?" she pleaded with her eyes making a puppy dog face.
Geet didn't melt under her cute face and looked the other way. "Please get ready fast."
Geet: "Why? Where are we going?"
Pari: "It's surprise. I'm sure you'll love it though."
Geet started to argue back but was interrupted by her, "I want no excuses. Go on and get ready. I'm waiting for you down stairs."
Having no other option, she got ready. Yes, she was mad at her but she couldn't say no to her Angel. No matter how mad she is at her.
______________________________________________
Vicky: "Maan, please come with us?"
Maan: "What? Where?" That was a random thing. Vicky just barged in his cabin with this request.
Vicky: "Maan, an emergency. Emma is freaking out."
Maan: "About what this time?"
Vicky: "I'll explain on my way. Come on right now."
Maan argues but his voice was unheard: "But Vicky, I am..."
______________________________________________
Geet in the car, "Driver, where are we going?"
The driver looked at her from rear-view mirror and shifted his eyes back to the road not answering. Geet didn't want to ask Pari as she was mad at her. But the silence was killing her. She wanted to know where she was being taken to. No would was ready to answer her!
_____________________________________________
Maan: "Would you care to tell me what is going on?" He stopped Vicky who was about to sit in the car.
Vicky pushed Maan in and entering through the other side, Vicky told the driver to drive to take them to Town center Mall.
Section 2:
As soon as Maan heard the mall's name, he got more attentive and demanded to know, "Why are we going to the mall?"
Vicky: "Because Dan has taken her there to calm her down. No more questions."
______________________________________________
The car stopped in front of Town Center Mall. Both girls stepped out and Geet looked at the big building in front of her. A small colorful fountain was right in the middle of the entrance. It seemed as if it was kept there just to welcome them with happiness. Geet followed Pari and in no time, they were in front of Fabric cloth shop in the mall. Geet's eyes glittered as soon as she saw it. The thing she loved to shop the most. Fabrics.
She would buy all types of designs and shades and make a totally different fabric by joining bits and pieces of one material to another and yet another. After all, she did do her major in designer. She loves designing anything and everything. As long as it looks dull in beginning, she'll take it up and in no time, it'll be the best piece of work.
Forgetting her anger, she hugged Pari tightly who was looking at her with a smile on her face. "Thank you so much Angel!"
Pari said teasingly as they broke the hug, "I thought you were mad at me."
Geet: "Dhat. How can I be mad at my Angel for so long? Huh?" They walked walked in with their arms in the other. She was going through every single piece they had.
______________________________________________
Maan's car stopped in front of Town Center Mall as well. Both got out and without looking at Maan, Vicky went in taking out his cell as if about to call someone. Maan followed him inside having no other choice.
Vicky: "We're here." (To the person on the other end of the call)
Maan: "Dude, slow down."
Vicky: "Don't have time. The reason we're here is because Emma's sister Ana has come to New York for few months. She didn't know and now she's freaking out that she doesn't have a gift for her and the spare room in her apartment is also all dirty and seems old."
Maan's interest got more when he heard Ana's name and he heard everything after that. He still didn't understand why he was being dragged to the mall. "So? Why am I here?"
They had reached Dan and Emma by then. Emma replied, "Because I want you to help me in picking out the things for her room. Who can be better at this then the best architect designer in the world?"
Maan beamed at the compliment but having to run around shops was not what he did. He would have people do this for him. Though he loved the idea of doing something for Ana. He seemed to be in deep trail of thought while others were looking at him with lots of expectations.
Dan: "So will you?"
Maan snapped out of his thoughts and replied, "Huh? Oh, yea. Sure. Why not."
Emma hugged him saying, "Thanx Maan. Thank you so much!"
Maan: "That's what friends are for Emma. Come on, we have lots to do. Tell me all about Ana's likes and dislikes..." They trailed off to find stores where they can buy things...
______________________________________________
Pari regretted the idea of bringing her to this place now. She was in heels and Geet was making her go from one section to another rejecting a piece then going back to it after rejecting few more. "Geet, select something na. Both of us know that no matter what you pick, in the end you're going to make it perfect. Come on, I'm also getting thirsty," she cribbed.
Geet uninterested in her cribbing replied, "Quiet Pari. Let me concentrate. And if you're thirsty go get yourself a bottle of water. I'm sure you'll find one somewhere in this big mall. Stop bothering me."
Mumbling, "I should have never brought you here," she makes her way to the exit door. She bumps into a group of friends who were coming in laughing. She hadn't seen them coming as she was mumbling while looking back at Geet.
?- "Excuse me?"
Pari: "I'm sorry. I wasn't talking to you."
Vicky: "It's alright. Are you ok?"
Pari: "Yes, thanks. I just didn't see you." her voice was dry as her throat itself was dry.
Emma took out a small unopened bottle of water from her purse and handing it to her said, "Here. Have this. You need it."
Pari: "No it's alright. I was just going to get some myself."
Dan: "Then have it. It'll save you pain in your heel." Pari looked at him surprised how he knew her heel was paining.
Vicky: "Don't be surprised. You're doing the same thing with your leg that Emma does when her heel hurts after walking in heels for long time. So he just guessed." Pari looked at the girl who was handing her water guessing her to be Emma.
Emma looked down embarrassed at how well Dan knew her and nodded to Pari who understood that she was Emma and also figured out that Dan knew everything about Emma. Taking the bottle from her her, she said, "Thank you! You really did save me lots of pain."
Maan had moved away from there not interested to see whom they had bumped into. He was more eager to find the fabric for Ana's curtains in her rooms!
He was looking around and was nearing to the place where Geet was. Geet was deciding from one piece to another. Maan came near and was on the opposite side of Geet. The rolls of pieces in between them preventing them to seeing each other.
As soon as Maan came there, a sweet fragrance caught his attention. At first, he got pulled by it but shaking himself, he tried to concentrate on the piece in front of him . As Geet came directly in front where Maan was, a wild masculine cologne caught her refusing to let her resist it. She breathed it in not knowing why. Usually, she would hate the smell and say 'It's too strong!'
Trying really hard to concentrate, she asked herself, "Was I really just taking in that smell?" She ran her hand over the cloth and at the same time Maan did the same. Both felt a presence and felt disturbed. Didn't know why. Geet was moving her hand up and down and her bracelet was making a jingling sound.
Maan was sure someone was there and just the person's smell was driving him crazy. Both felt the desire to find out who is there. Geet walked up the isle while Maan walked down the isle. Both peeped in to the side opposite them and saw no one. They did the same other way around and each time Maan was close to seeing her, Geet would move the other way to see who's at the other side. Same thing Maan was doing.
It was as if Fate was playing hide and seek with them. It was as if God had something else planned for them and wasn't letting them see the other and making their desire more strong with each passing second. making them yearn and plead to let them see the other..
Both murmured at the same time, "Huh! No one's there."
______________________________________________
Emma: "Where's Maan?"
Pari: "Maan?" she thought Maan's here? Maan as in Maan Singh Khurana?
Dan: "Yea. Our friend. I guess he went in."
Pari said with wide eyes, "Maan as in Maan Singh Khurana?"
Vicky: "Seems like you know him?"
Pari: "Yea. I'm supposed to be joining the office for a special project."
Dan: "You're that girl?"
Pari looked at herself as if there was some flaw in her. "Why? Any problem?"
Vicky and Dan looked at each other and burst out laughing. They remembered how Sonia and Emma were going crazy thinking that a new guy was going to join the office. But look at it. It turned out to be a girl. Emma glared at both of them..
Pari asked confusingly, "Umm... what's the joke?"
Emma explained to her while boys kept on laughing. Both girls glared at them which made them have a straight tight smile on their face.
Vicky: "Emm... I think we should get going."
Dan: "Ya he's right. Maan?" he called out to Maan...
At same time, Pari called Geet. Both were looking for the other person at that time. When no response came, Vicky text-ed Maan saying they were leaving and will meet him in the parking lot. Pari did the same. Both had heard themselves being called and just when they came down the isle the reply back, they crashed into each other. Geet closed her eyes of fear of getting hurt and at same time, Maan held her in his muscular arms preventing her from falling and pulling her closer and in a way that she was parallel to the ground.
Geet's scarf covered her face and only her eyes full of fear were visible to Maan. Maan was looking at them with anxiety. Geet opened her eyes as she didn't find herself getting hurt but someone saving her from falling. She opened her eyes to see the face of the person who saved her and thank him. At same time she opened her eyes slowly, Maan's phone beeped telling him that he got a message.
