Chapter 10

Geet was working with full concentration. She very well knew his caliber and even when she was boss he had shown how superior he was when work was concerned and now he was boss and so would not spare and delay or inaccuracies.

But Maan was not at peace he wanted to know the reason of her being here. He could not trust her.

So Geet was again called'

"Dusta, a complete dusta he is. Here I am trying to complete his work, which does not come under my job profile and there he is disturbing me."

Knock on Maan's door.

"Sir" "Come in" he said still immersed in the laptop.

She sat down on chair in front of him. Geet was always straight in talking and knew why she was here... To get his attention

"You look even more handsome" Maan looked at her' BINGO it worked

"don't try to sound you found me handsome then too. For people like you, class and handsome only counts with money and position"

But before she could say anything, Maan looked at her

"Tell me the clear reason of you joined here. Don't think if you don't tell me I can't find, so no playing tricks"

"Off course I joined with a reason" she paused "hmm go ahead, I am listening"

"I want" she closed her eyes to gather courage to talk straight.

"I want my husband and family back" he came closer to her chair and place his both hands on table in front of her

"So you have landed in a wrong place, this is a work place, where every employee is expected to give their hundred percent, AND this is not a family finding NGO, better remember that and now leave."

And he turned to leave but she held his wrist "Maan itne rukhe kab se ban gaye app. This is not you Maan, please come back" It came out from heart. She craved for old Maan now.

He gave look at her hand which was holding his wrist "You are trying to get personal with your boss MISS HANDA, I will not tolerate this."

She was not going to leave this easily' he will be angry at anything she will say or do that was sure so why not make him angry for what was worth it'

"I am your PERSONAL secretary sir, being a little personal should be allowed"

He first kept looking at her, at her audacity then bent down, his face very near to hers

"You have no, at all no idea with whom you are dealing. I am warning you for your good or your logics are going to fire back very badly on you."

His face was so very close to her, there we fire in those eyes but still her madness for him has crossed all limit to even think about herself when he was there' or else she may be Geet Handa still but when he was there she just wanted to melt

She kept looking at his angry face and then smiled

"you will not let anything happen to me and if you are happy in anything then I will be happy to be coz of it, even if the coz is pain to me"

"Ahhh" he got up and made a sarcastic face and turned his back to her with hands on his waist.

"Leave. I am no stranger unfortunately to buy this philosophy of yours. Now leave immediately."

She had to leave and when she opened the door to get out

"Listen, I will find the real motive behind all this." She left

Geet got lost in thought' "Maan bhi na, you are trying to get personal'." She repeated like him. She somewhere felt content and confident that he was near her and she will in no case let him walk away this time.

Then she got an idea' "Geet you know pleading never works with Maan, even then this was same and what he said, trying to get personal.. off course with whom else will I get personal if not you Mr."

She again got strong in her decision "let him crib of this professionalism, Geet you do what you are here to do"

Geet's words "Get my husband back" was ringing in Maan's ear. His mind went back to their wedding night.

The marriage had happened in Geet's house at Mumbai. It was an elegant marriage. Maan was impressed by the elegance and style. It was huge compared to his HP life.

Though he wanted the marriage to happen in HP but as his Mishty had wanted it to happen in Mumbai, he happily agreed.

Marriage just went on happening, Maan imagining to talk to his Misty at last and Geet just imagining that she is being married to an Elite but still was confused, why he was in HP. But then, even she will join HP as she was going to head the project there. So she thought, may be something like that.

In Mumbai they did not get any chance to talk but when Geet had seen Maan and their eyes had met, his lovingly gaze on her, it was so deep that she had to blush and Maan was all over again fida on his Mishty.

He was so much dying to tell her she was his Mishty.

But he stopped his chain of thought' not wanting to think of that night.

And anger took him,

He called Geet but Geet as she entered "Sir, can I leave." "If you have finished the assessment of that project miss Handa"

Geet had decided to overlook his formal behaviour. They can fight as they always had but it does not need to be formal.

"Geet Khurana sir, and if you want to know my full name then its Geet Maan singh Khur"

Maan without a second thought, held her arm and twisted it back and jerked her on the wall.

His angry face coming close to Geet "Don't act smart with me. This is my office and I don't like argument. If you think this is unfair you are free to leave this job."

It was hurting Geet, again this side of Maan was complete new to her. She knew how soft a person he was.

She closed her eyes in pain "Maan" he twisted her arm further in anger hearing his name from her "Not Maan" He said in horse voice "Aaah Sir.. you are hurting me."

He left her and pointed his finger at her "If you are working here, work with my rules' fair or unfair. Now where is the assessment?"

"How can I complete my assessment, you keep calling me. All your attentions are after me, after all"

She teased him, let him be as hard as he could.  She had decided to see how harsh he can be with her, in a way that can be penance but she will not leave poking him.

"Do not make excuses. I want it ready by tomorrow 9 am."

She was about to leave when Maan said from behind "My attention are on you as you should always keep eye on your enemy and be ready for harder times, Miss Handa"

Geet was cribbing, working in her cube. "Miss Handa, as if he does not remember we are still married' harder times, let me see how much you can take me thru Maan. You don't believe but love for you have made me strong enough to take any pain from you."

"I am ready to take the pain till it gives you pain seeing me in pain."

She rubbed her hand which had got bangles imprint becoz of his holding her arm tight along with bangle there.

Seeing bangle, Geet remembers her first encounter with those bangles. Bt then snapped out of thought ans started working.
