Dhundlae aks
PART 171
Maan fumbled with his words not even remembering when he signed those papers.
It took a while before he was getting a clear picture of all this.. he took a deep breath.. dad I am not joining KC
yash ' this is ridiculous Maan. Tum koi choten bachen nahi.. & these r official documents u signed. No one forced u then. Tumhe join nahi karna tha tho why did u sign these papers.
Maan just kept quiet. He knew he can't think anything right ..the moment her name comes in. exactly wat happened that day.. Dev even warned him.. but he was so lost ' she really has a spell on him..& he just can't help it. he was always clear in his mind abt his job & career plan. He even worked hard for it... though all the while it was misti in his mind..but never was she a distraction for him.
Yash continued to shout at him telling him how much legal hazels all this is now. He is invariable the 3rd MD of KC, his responsibilities though only confined to the IT dept. Yash was really angry at Maan to have decided otherwise & more than that his anger was on the fact that he signed those papers when he never had such plans. It was sheer irresponsibility ..that was not acceptable to Yash.
After all the shouting & yelling session Maan went to his room really depressed. He was settleing his folder & changing into his tracks when he got a call from Prachi. He was in no mood to answer the call but he just did it for the sake of it..
prachi ' congrats Maan
he smiled..
prachi ' I am so happy for u.
u got it all worked it out exactly the way u wanted it. I am really glad u got it.
Maan ' thanks
prachi ' so wat have u decided; which company?
Maan ' I think infosys
prachi ' really thats cool
waisen bhi dosre walen ko u don't have to answer now na
Maan ' umm
prachi ' both will be based in Delhi na
Maan ' umm
prachi ' thats cool
Maan was feeling much better. He was so glad atleast someone thought like him
Prachi always followed up with all the job related stuffs in college. she was even part of the PR team that co-ordinated with the companies after the college hrs. It only helped her prepare better for her final yr. geet was never involved in all this.. infact it was of least interest to her. she always rushed after college initialy to office.. now to spend that time with her puchki during the drive.
.
Later at night Maan sneaked into geets room.
She was so excitedly waiting for him not knowing the big news he had for her. She excitedly asked him how was ur day
he took all pride in answering ' grt
aur wo kuch kaam tha na aapko, uska kya huwa
Maan took out the appointment letter & showed it to her.
She excitedly went through it & soon her face turned pale. She didn't know how to be happy.. he was going for this in the morning..she cutely complained to her babaji.. agar mujhe pata hota tho.. kabhi nahi dress select karti..aur dhai pura karela dal dethi..
Maan ' I am planning to join infosys
she smiled blankly staring at the paper.
He took the paper from her & carefully reading her face..
she immediately smiled & hugged him ..congrats..feeling choked inside..his dream.. just crushed her hopes with which she was working in KC for last few yrs. He snapped out of the hug & stared at her angrily.
Tum bhi dad ki tarah kush nahi ho na?
Wat do u expect?
I am not going to join KC..get it straight
tumse aachi tarah tho mujhe prachi samjh thi hain
she was so happy for me
that just nipped something ..she suddenly felt so distanced from him.. her mama was so right...wat ever it be.. she will always be not his first choice.
He just closed his eyes realizing wat he said.
Misti I am really sorry I didn't mean that
she immediately pulled away & went to the kitchen hiding the sudden feel of breaking down.
Nahi nahi..main bahut khush hoon.. she said switching on the gas & placing a kadai..
misti.. plz.. he knew she was hurt
nahi Maan main naraz nahi.. dehko.. I am making some sweet to celebrate this.
She called him Maan ..instead of puchki that itself was enough for him to know how deeply she was hurt.
She meticulously made the sweet & served it in a bowl.
She placed his bowl infront of him & took a bowl for herself.. she would never do that.. especially since she moved to KM.. they would always share it in a plate..feeding each other.. she took a couple of spoons.. smiling.. pretending how happy she was abt it.
He just left from there not able to see her suddenly distancing like this..he already was very stressed with his dads anger & now his misti too.
she really didn;t know how to hide her heartbreak..being not the one who knew him better.. not the one he would share his feelings to... if he ever thought he could.. for matter of fact she knew prachi & maan spoke more seriously than they ever did.
**********
The rest of the final semester Maan was dam busy. He still spend his nights in outhouse though they were not that close romancing, he couldn't advance after seeing her trying to avoid indirectly. She seemed drawn since then. His words .. her mama's words.. all together with his avoiding to move frwd the relation was just killing her inside. She didn't know wat he thought abt the relation any more.. could be.. he is still making up his mind..or probably not convinced she is the one. Or he is convinced she is not..& don't know how to tell her.. since he never said anything at the first place. ..or is it just an extended frdship they share.. & the physical part..all could be because she allowed him to.. !!!that really hurts!!!
He still never fail to get her genda ko phool. Though he was still hurt somewhere .. after all it his dream .. he had been working for it all the while.
They never spoke abt his job after that. No one in KM did either.
Precap
another kind of reality(or should I say face off) from past.
