Maan goes back to the meeting and tries to concentrate but he is continuously distracted by the the sound "Maa--aaan' I have topped". He tries to ignore it but that voice, the sweetness and softness in it keeps on troubling him'. His mind keeps wandering'"hell what is this'" He tries several times to concentrate but hearing her voice after so long he is not able to. He at last gives up'. He doesn't want to give only part of him to anything'. He excuses himself from the meeting. Client doesn't mind as his reputation is so good' there really must be something..
He immediately leaves not at all liking what he did and for what a silly reason.
He directly heads to his Gym. "How dare she'. What does she think off herself " He starts doing his tai chi feverously but still things keep on coming to his mind
Two yrs back when he has asked her "kitnee baar kaha hai maine do not poke your nose in my matter'. Go join the MBA program you are getting offer from'. Concentrate on your career" This he had shouted on her when she had only complimented him on his success that time'. And again that day he had not been able to do any work'. Her face, her talks kept coming to his mind '. He who can not be disturbed from anything' when he have made himself such that he doesn't let anything affect him how can that meek and weak girl affect his mind'. He will never accept it's not his mind but heart which gets affected'. Things keep on going in his mind and he keeps on doing Tai chi giving himself harsher and harsher pain. 1st it was his need to keep her away from himself and now it's also his ego "how can Maan Singh Khurana be afftected".
Geet on the other hand is really relieved that at least she was able to call him and let him know she got on top. "Geet why did you cut the phone idiot'. Unka reaction to dekhna tha' He must have been so proud' that I am doing so well.. isme who naraz kyun hote' but now you have spoiled everything in your nervousness'. Abb to mobile pe uthayen ge bhi nahi'. I can try from office"
Geet tries to call Khurana group office' receptionist picks'. It's daughter of Mr. Mohinder Handa so the phone cannot be denied she receptionist connected her to Adi, Maan's right hand as she did not have the power or guts to connect directly to Maan sir.
Adi wonders why will any one from Handa family try to call thru office' Maan sir gets call from them directly' he cannot ignore and so picks
Adi:"Yes miss handa'. I am Adi speaking"
Geet:"yeah mr. Adi' can you please connect to Mr. Maan's office'"
Adi: "Sorry Mam'. Sir left the office few minutes ago'. Why don't you call him on mobile"
Geet:"left the office'"
Adi: "yeah he was in some very impt meeting when he got a call' he never picks phone at that time'. But I am nor sure why but he picked it and after that he was too disturbed to attend the meeting'. Seems there was something important' better you should call him on his mobile"
Geet cut the call immediately' she is sure Maan is again angry from her call.. she never understand why does he get so angry from her call, her talk or her presence' why is there so much repulsion ' It was after two years that she had called him'"OMG'. He was in middle of some meeting aur tabhi maine phone kiya'. How much he hate disturbance when in middle of something' I should have understood he must be busy when he did not pick the unknown number' but no Geet' you are so dumb.. abb kya hoga'.Babaji' Kitna aag babola ho rahe honge'" She have only one person as saviour'
Brij Veerj, he was Maan's friend' Rajji di and Nandani would make fun of her'
She called Brij :"Veerji' who Maan' bohut naraz hain' kuch kijiye na"
Brij:"Abb college se baithe baithe tune kya ker diya'."
Geet:"I just called him to say I have topped but he was in the meeting that time' mera phone utha liya aur abbb'"
Brij: "Geet tu bhi na' aa bail mujhe maar' kya jaroorat thi uss nakchare ko call kerke yeh batane kee'kyun panga leti rehtee hai usse.."
Geet:"maine to bass'"
Brij:"tum dono ka kuch samajh nahi aata mujhe' who tujhse dur rehna chata hai to chertee kyun rehtee hai usse'. Waise tell me one thing' Bachpan me tune usse kaun se karwi kardha pilaye thee jot tere naam se he woh aag babula ho jata hai'"
Geet:"aap unse baat karenge yaa nahi'"
Brij:"theek hai kerlonga thordi der baad'. Abb main baar baar tere pange nahi sambhaln wala samjhee' iske baad agar pange le na usse to khud sambhalna.."
It was just a light hearted talk for Brij but Geet could feel his anger' she has faced it so many times'.
She remembers when she had 1st face it
He had come to stay in her house'. was devastated by the loss of his father who was his role model and who had finished his life making Maan hear so much against his Dad from different people' they called his Dad a loser and that was not acceptable to Maan'.
He had become violent and was not controllable from Dadima' Annie was small.. could be moulded but Maan at the age of 16 was at very vulnerable state' Dadima decided he needed a family and Mohinder was more than Happy to take Maan in his house' he was son of his talented friend' whatever world says he knew his friend' and Maan had known Mohinder's family very well and so this was the only place best for Maan that time'
Handa house was a four bedroom descent flat' not small for them but compared to Khurana Mansion it was nothing'. But these things were not that mattered that time' Maan needed a family'.
Mohinder had never preferred to take monetary help from his friend' their friendship was precious to him' he was happy with his descent earning..
When Maan had come he was not in his senses'. He just locked himself in one room.. Mohinder and Rano had decided to give him as much time and space of privacy ' they could feel his condition'.
But Geet was small' just 11'. For her Maan was her friend' less did she realized that the situation has changed him upside down' he was no more her old friend Maan'.
It had been two days' he never came to dining area' Rano had placed thali in his room and next time when she used to go' she used to come back with old thali as it is' he was not even touching the food'. Now Geet was getting restless'
"Mamma can I go'. He is my friend na'"
She went to give him the food thali and took the old one in hand'. She waited there that he will even look at the food but he was looking no where'. " Maan khana" only this much and he had looked at her'. He kept looking' his eyes were red' red with pain and anger'. She got very scared' never expected this look from him' but he was not eating and this was not good' she gathered "Khana kha lijiye" he got up' took the thali from her hand and threw it on the floor, then took the one that she had brought now and threw it on the floor too'. "ho gaya' now get lost!!!" he had shouted out loud' held her hand and threw her out of the room'. This was her 1st encounter with his anger '
Geet got goose bumps remembering that day and his anger'.
