Part 33

Maan left with Brij. He was feeling guilty for leaving Geet without having an opportunity to talk to her. But it was important for him to deal with the issue with the workers. Although he didn't like Brij, he felt that if Brij was able to assist in negotiations with the union leader, then the issue could be resolved quickly and they would be able to leave for Delhi as planned in the morning. They would have lots of time to get to know each other- a life time.

Geet was sitting in the dining room staring dreamily into space. She thought of the kiss...and all the other kisses...she loved it when Maan kissed her. His kisses made her feel wonderful...so did his touch...she started dreaming .

"Didi...Geet didi" Rajji has been calling her for the last 5 minutes, but Geet was unresponsive. Finally Rajji shook Geet violently, waking her up from her thoughts.

"Maaan, chodo na.." Geet replied huskily.

"Kya???" Rajji cried out loud.

Suddenly Geet became aware of where she was, what she had been dreaming about and who had addressed her moments ago. She blushed and became flustered. No matter how much she was trying to clam herself, she couldn't. Rajji who had heard her comment laughed at Geet's predicament, then teasingly said..."So didi, why did you want Jiju to leave you? What exactly was Jiju doing???" and then ran to safe distance away from Geet to one of the opposite corners of the room. Geet opened and closed her mouth trying to think of something intelligent to say, but nothing was coming to her. "It is all Maan's fault Babaji...he distracts me and stops me from thinking" Geet mumbled to herself looking at the roof. Finally after a few moments she was able to compose herself and rather than get into a discussion about what she had been thinking about, she decided to ask Rajji why she was calling her.

"Rajji, you wanted me?" Geet managed to say ignoring Rajji's smirk.

"Wo..." Rajji began, but was interrupted by a rude voice from the hallway.

"Hello is anyone there? I have been waiting here quite a long time and I don't have all day"

Geet looked at Rajji and asked "Who is that?"

"Didi, that was what I was calling you about. It's Ms Roy, Jiju's lawyer. I told her that Jiju had gone with Brij to see the union leader, but she said that she will see you instead" Rajji replied. "Oh, and I don't think she is in a good mood! Please didi, go and see to her, so she can leave"

Geet took a deep breath and went into the hallway to greet Ms Roy.

Ms Roy was eyeing the hallway in disgust. "This is such a low class house..look at the decor, so old and ornate..some people have no taste..and these Handas are seen as one of the best families in HP? What low standard exist here...they would be laughed at in Delhi. Oh God, where is that girl. The sooner she comes, the sooner I can leave this hell hole. It evens smells old, urggh". Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of payal. She looked up to see a young woman enter the room. She was dressed in a traditional salwar kameez wearing her symbols of marriage, her sindoor, mangalsutra and chooda. "So this must be Geet" Ms Roy thought. "She is pretty, I grant you, but too young and innocent for a real man like Maan Singh Khurana. Someone for him to play with...He will bore of her easily"

"Ms Roy"

"Ms Roy"

"MS ROY" Geet spoke a little louder receiving no response from her earlier attempts to call her.

"Yes, oh, so you must be Geet" Ms Roy said with minimum civility, looking down on Geet.

"Yes, I am. Won't you come with me and have a seat the sitting room?" Geet asked politely.

"No. No time for sitting, that is unless Maan is here. I wanted to drop of these papers with Maan but it seems that girl told me that he was not here" Ms Roy said looking around to make sure Geet hadn't hidden him somewhere. Geet looked at Ms Roy, thinking that not only is she rude and arrogant, but she seemed a bit over familiar with Maan, even if she was his lawyer.

"Well I can take them. Maan told me you would be dropping by and that if he was not here, I could deal with you" Geet said extending her arm.

"Yeah right. I would prefer to give them to Maan, personally, you understand. Are you sure he is not here?" Ms Roy said continuing to hold the documents tightly.

"I can assure you he is not here", Geet replied slowly losing her patience, "so please give me the papers".

"Where is Maan, by the way? Maybe I could go and visit him onsite? Then I could talk to him face-to-face." Ms Roy said not listening to Geet.

"Look Ms Roy, Maan told me to take the paper, so if you would be so kind, hand them over" Geet said firmly.

Ms Roy was getting irritated by Geet. "Why is she not letting me see Maan? Is she worried Maan will leave her? Maybe she is the possessive type? Maybe she is jealous of me? Who could blame her for being jealous...look at me. Oh God, she is really beginning to annoy me. I don;t know how Maan stands her. I need to put her in her place once and for all...for Maan and for me!" she thought.

Not receiving an answer Geet tried to snatch the documents from Ms Roy saying "Maan told me..." but was stopped from continuing when she heard Ms Roy say "Maan told me...Maan told me".

Geet was stunned. Ms Roy was actually mimicking Geet.

"Urgh, change the record why don't you. Why don't you just quieten down little girl and let me see Maan. I would rather see the master, not the servant" Ms Roy continued looking straight into Geet's eyes.

"Excuse me Ms Roy?? What did you just say?" Geet said staring back at Ms Roy in anger. "How dare you? Do you know who I am? I am Mrs Geet Khurana!"

"Mrs Geet Khurana" laughed Ms Roy..."Wife of Maan Khurana, correct? I suppose, I should bow to your highness...or is that lowness? More like a gold digger...a chit of a girl who planned to trap Maan into marrying her and successfully executed her plan. I am sure you used everything available to you", she continued looking Geet up and down, implying that Geet must have used her body to trap Maan. "I must congratulate you Geet on being a very cunning little sl..."

Ms Roy stopped mid sentence on feeling a sudden intense pain on her right cheek where Geet had just slapped her. Ms Roy looked at Geet wildly and said "You bitch. How dare you hit me? I will tell Maan about your behaviour. Who do you think you are? You low class uneducated little..."

"Excuse me Ms Roy. You are in my house as a guest and you have the audacity to insult me? Think what you will about me, I don't really care. But I am Mrs Khurana, wife of your boss Mr Maan Khurana and by insulting me, you have insulted my husband" Geet spoke in anger

"HUSBAND" Ms Roy mocked holding her reddened cheek. "Forced husband. Do you seriously think, if Maan didn't have a case lodged against him by your family, that he would ever have married you? You are not of the same background or status. You have nothing in common. You don't socialise in the same circles. You are not worthy of him...and then you call yourself his wife"

"Ms Roy. Forced or not he is my husband and he cares about me. People don't have to be from the same background to be with each other" Geet responded.

"Don't kid yourself, Geet" Ms Roy replied. She then spotted the love-bite on Geet's neck. This made her fume with anger. "Oh, I see. You poor girl are you confusing a physical and sexual relationship for caring? Maan is a man who has physical needs. You are young and seem to have a good figure under those unshapely clothes. If you offer yourself to him like a wh**e, he is not going to say no"

Geet slapped Ms Roy's other cheek and pulled the documents out of her hand.

"You may leave now Ms Roy" Geet said firmly, pushing her out of the Haveli and shutting the door with a loud bang.

Geet turned around to see her mother, Rajji and Taiyji standing before her all shocked at what they had heard and witnessed. Her mother tried to talk, but Geet just held her hand up to stop her, and ran to her room sobbing and clutching the papers.

Oh I wanted to slap Ms Roy so bad.
