PART 1

"maan bhai,  pandit ji has suggested a date after two months so we…"  annie, maan's sister, spoke just as maan came inside the room.

"two weeks" maan spoke with finality with his one booted foot on his knee and his elbows placed on the arms of couch.

"but that…" annie started to protest but maan cut her off.

"two weeks" he looked at annie with a warning glare and she knew she stood no chance so she sighed and looked at bauji, the head of geet's family,

"Bauji, is it ok with you?"

"ji puttar ji. The sooner the better" bauji glanced at geet bitterly who sat expressionless staring at empty space.

        Geet didn't even glanced at maan because she knew that no matter what she said or did now, he wouldn't give a damn. She still didn't know why he was adamant on marrying her? She had given him all the reasoning that she could but he had only looked at her with that smirk as if she was a stupid doll speaking what any girl in her state would but she wondered, was there actually any other girl who could ever have been in her state? Why was geet handa's life always so unbelievably unusual? She had spotted him the difference between their statuses but it made no difference to him either socially or economically. She tried to be calm and told him that his reputation would be tarnished because of this but the only thing that he said after her long speech about morality and norms and values was, "I don't care" with his arms crossed on his muscular chest. She even went to the extent of telling him that he didn't need to marry her for whatever happened and she would go away from his life forever but, he had just sighed and had told her to quickly finish the file work and get ready for the meeting.

      Maan singh khurana was the richest business tycoon and the bachelor in India being the owner of Khurana constructions. His empires ran in all over the world. At the age of 28 he had achieved all that an average man of his age would have begun to get. As for geet handa, she was his mere secretary- or so she thought. Her family was the chief and landlords of Hoshiarpur and the richest of the family in their area. But geet's family was rich, not geet. In fact, women and girls were given no status and value in her family at all. They were married off at the age of 15 or 16. Geet was an exception who was still unmarried at the age of 18. She had run away from her house with the help of her mother and father who wanted their daughter to complete her studies and enjoy her life. After geet completed her graduation she set off to get a job and 'Unfortunately', she found a job at Khurana construction. She was very much excited to work at the KC but when she found her boss in the form of Maan singh khurana, she was repelled furiously by his arrogance and extremely rude behavior.

     He never smiled and he was strict as a Hitler. She couldn't even breathe with peace when he was around her. The entire office danced on his instructions but as usual, geet was an exception in all cases. Unintentionally, she always ended up doing the opposite of what her boss instructed her to do. Thankfully, she never caused some major trouble but still she always got scolded by her boss. She couldn't help but argue with him in almost every matter for which he scolded her and even sometimes it wasn't even her fault.

    They both had gotten used to the bickering and one thing was for sure that Geet handa wasn't scared of Maan singh Khurana and that, the entire office knew. She didn't know when scolding from maan started coming less often. She didn't realize the change until one day it all happened when they both went to shimla. He had taken her with him for the meeting forcefully when she didn't want to go. Sasha was the one who was supposed to be with maan at all his meetings but since past two months, he always took geet with him where ever he went. It annoyed geet very much because even after the office hours, she couldn't stop thinking about maan and the office work. He was on her mind 24*7 and on her head in the office.  She didn't realize how it happened in shimla?

    It was a mistake on both their parts and she was ready to take the blame on herself only if she could go away from his life but he wouldn't let her go and it seemed as if he was closing all the ways for her to go away. She had started to like him before all that because it seemed as if he had started to care for her a little when he brought her coffee along with his own when they were working on a project late night, when he had dropped her home three or four times and even when she had told him that she could go by herself. He spoke very less and only replied with a hmm or a yes or no at her questions. She couldn't help but talk. It wasn't in her nature to be a 'sadu'. She knew how to enjoy life even after all that her family did to her when they had beaten her up and locked her in the room without food and water when she had refused to marry a 40year old man when she was 16.

    She talked about people around her. Discussed silly small things and her likings and disliking to maan while he only listened, which she doubted that he ever listened but still she kept going on and one day her doubt was cleared when she had asked maan about his favourite food and he had only said "Italian" and hadn't named any specific dish, she had said to herself "khadoos" and his eyes snapped up to hers and their eyes had locked while he glared at her and he had said, "you know very well how much of a dusht danav I am so concentrate on your work" and she knew instantly that he listened to her all the time. She had called him dusht danav when he had given her 6 files at 6pm in the evening to complete while the closing hour was 7pm and she was so angry at him that she couldn't control herself calling out this name in a murmur to herself when he was walking out and she had thought he didn't listen.

    She had once worn heels on pinky, her office colleague and best friend, insistence but she couldn't balance on heels. Just when she was about to walk out from the office after work he had spoken, 'don't wear these heels again, you'll hurt yourself' and she had thought he hadn't listened when a week or so ago she had said she couldn't balance herself in heels and ended up falling.

     She thought she had seen him smiling once…maybe… when she had killed the big cockroach that had crawled on the table from somewhere. She was so scared of cockroaches but instead of screaming, she gasped and slapped the file hard on it while maan only glanced at the file which when lifted by geet, underneath lied the curled up cockroach and geet slapped her hand on her mouth and looked away in disgust sticking out her tongue and when she looked back slowly, she found maan looking at her but as soon as she looked at him he turned his gaze back on the file and ordered her, "clear the table". She couldn't believe the insensitivity of the man and her eyes popped out at him in shock while he flipped page of the file in his hands but then she thought she saw his lips curled for a moment but it vanished behind his stubble in a blink of her eyes. She thought she might have imagined that smile but she couldn't imagine when she had never seen him smile. Maybe-he actually had smiled.

"geet, bauji ne ye bebe ji ka joda bheja hai shadi k liye. Or ye tere zevar. Baaki bauji ne tere jahez k samaan man rakhwa diye hain." Geet's bhabi came in her room late at night because everyone had already started the preparations for the wedding. She placed the packages on geet's bed and was about to leave when she saw that geet paid no attention to her and was staring outside the window.

"geet? Tu theek hai?" bhabi asked and stood behind geet.

"han bhabhi main theek hun" geet smiled and turned around to assure her.

"dekh geet, tu janti hai na k ub tu is shadi se mana nahi kar sakti…"

"bhabi! I understand and I have no objection."  Geet spoke interrupting her bhabi who sighed and nodded with a smile and left.

      Whatever happened that night was not something for which they had to get married. It could be sorted out easily and nobody would have known if Maan sir wouldn't have told them! After all Maan sir was so powerful that nobody would even dare to speak about it to him and as for her, she would have gone somewhere else for job. It wasn't that difficult as Maan sir had created it. Now it was complicated and she had no other choice left but-marry him. The Maan singh khurana's wife. Hell!
