Chapter 18

Maan was upset...he was in his room lost in deep thought.

Maan's thought

How has things changed so much, I am chanching I feel myself.

I never shout at girls and today I almost fought with Geet and took challenge. I don't like life like this. I have always loved to be care free but now why can't I be.

Why did I promised Bauji that i will bring name ,fame and money to him. he have always asked me to do soo but I never cared... Bauji to aise he bolte hain, this is what I thought... but today I promised him.

Now if taken promise like this, i have to fulfill it.. and i know it will not let me be what i am...

he felt his dream... football almost slipping from his hand and he stood there helpless watching it slip

It was dark in Geet's room which was near Maan's. She was just relaxing in dark on the chair. It was only her room that was conditioned. She had offered to get whole house conditioned but Khurana's didn't needed it.

Maan came out in the lobby, he was lost in thought. Maan was in his half inner black vest and black track at bottom, his love for sports reflected in his dressings.

Geet's eyes went on him and his perfectly built up body. Her eyes got stuck on him and his muscles as he moved a little. How perfect and handsome he looked. None of her rich friends have this in them that they will catch her eyes like this.

Maan was in light but Geet was in Dark, Geet could see him clearly but he could not. Also he was lost in his thought. He was tensed and in his tension he just poured the water in the glass he was holding on him and shook his hair.

Geet gulped the saliva seeing the vision in front of him. Something churned in her belly and she felt weak on her knees. Her dark desire, to drink those water falling down from his beautiful structure, made her feel thirsty.

It was dark and in darkness when you know no one is seeing you, you also sometimes let your mind not see you.. that's what Geet was tempted to do. Seeing his handsome featured wet with water and water carelessly enjoying his body muscle, Geet almost forgot or just letting her guards down from herself in dark got lost in his beautiful structure. Everything was so perfect about him. There was a strong urge to touch him, feel him and more than that being crushed in his strong muscled arm. She was not herself and darkness was helping her nurture her dark forbidden desire which otherwise she will never approve.

Urge to be lost in him was strong; so many things were happening to her, her knees felt complete weak and belly was having weird sensation. How peaceful it will be to be lost in his arm, away from this whole world, just he and her.

This was Mishty, whom Maan had imagined, just seeing her picture. Something in that picture had showed his Mishty in her but Geet had crushed that Mishty deep within, not even ready to believe there was one within her.

Geet was completely lost being in his arm when suddenly Maan moved away from the lobby, lost in himself and closed his door.

Geet then came to sense and immediately switched on her light. She was shaking, her whole body felt weak.

She immediately went to the washroom and washed her face with cold water but her body was still shaking form the sensation.

"Yuck, how could I, that too with this man. NO, how could I, chi. This man and me, stop Geet how could you even think."

Geet somehow slept that night. But it was a chance that when , in morning, Geet came out of her room, Maan came out too an they hit each other, Geet stumbled and Maan strongly held her with his strong arm, Geet's body shivered with the thought she had at night and she immediately jerked away.

"How dare you hold me" "But you were falling so" "Falling so? I very well know your kind of person."

"Sorry" "Behave yourself "and she left

Both left  for the office from same place and reached same place. Geet in her black BMW while Maan on his khatara motor bike.

"Now this also need to be fixed. Mechanic said it will cost 5000'now your turn will come on next month friend" he patted the bike and went inside the office.

Maan was quietly sitting in his cube. He has decided to put his bauji's head high and he will now have to work to built up the company. This was not Maan's interest but for his Bauji he had decided to subside his passion for football and forget about his career in FB. It will though always be his hobby. This was all Maan was lost whole night. Tough decision to take but it was decided now.

The work in office was nothing for him. His working caliber was way beyond what he was assigned and thus he handles them easily and thus would most of the time lazily sit in office completing his work and then leave early. But now he had planning to do and his mind started working in all directions.

Maan was about to leave when one of his colleague approached him.

"Maan, this budget is not coming as it showed. I saw every way but could not figure out. Tum deklo na yaar"

Maan whistled "why, yesterday you were saying so beautiful words to me abb karo apna kaam khud"

"Maan sorry yaar, now we will not say anything. Without your help its tough to handle work here' we have got in habit of your help . Abb itna bhav kyun khaa raha hai.."

Maan took the file from his colleague, looked at it and immediately caught the issue and fixed it.

And he left from there. Even Man's immediate boss didn't say anything to Maan. Earlier coz he always was so efficient and always gave more than expected in minimal time and now he was Big Boss' husband so he better did not want to come in between.

Maan had made some plan and now according to it went on tour of HP.

In mean while Geet just was taking round in the office and saw Maan's cube empty

"Where is Khurana" she asked his boss "Mam, he left for the day"

"why? Is office hours done?"

"Mam he is too efficient for the work he handles. These works are just minimal for him"

Geet did not like hearing positive words for Maan. She had made up her mind and now was bent on proving what she thought. She never even wanted to realize his positive points; he was just nothing she had decided.

Then for few days, Geet could not help but kept watch on Maan. He did finished his assigned work and used to leave early. However she tried to ignore him as nothing, she could not.

She checked the work he was doing and found he was working a little more than his profile expected him to. She could not digest it.

At home Maan used to quietly go in his room, coz he had to work on the plan he was working on for his own new work.

At day time, he would finish his work of office and go to different site of HP and nearby. He was working on map, empty lands, places that were inhibited in different ways' he was seriously working on his work and his brain was running.

Now that he had promised to his Bauji, he have to keep upto it.

"Only if Geet would have been a tiny bit of understanding and not insulted him in office this would not have been such a big issue"  he would thought but no backing out from promise.

Geet could not find what he was doing but she knew he was upto something. Then she just ignored,

"why am I even thinking about this person, I am handling a big company why have I to think about a common employee of mine."

She tried to jerk her thought and got busy with her work.

Then the other day in office, she saw Maan was leaving and could not digest. She called him in and in front of everyone

"Khurana in my office immediately" "OK mam" It pained him every time he called his own wife mam. Yes she was his boss but for person like him, personal relation was above professional and that too in place like HP, everyone just looked at him mockingly. Well these things did not matter much to him, but his parents were getting humiliated too.

"There are five files, three of design and 2 of accounts. I want you to review them and get back to me."

"But Mam I work only on engineering side" Though he checked accounts file for his colleagues to help them but it was not his profile.

"Your educational profile says you can work on all these file. Get back to me after review"

Maan took the file and left. He had to visit a site. But Geet knew less that Maan was now so much on research and hard wok and that to his immense caliber, these files were kind of basic work for him, though not for normal employees.

He worked intently and was done in 2hrs.

Precap: Past:Yes she was true, it is not a game to start a new company with nothing in hand but it was also true that exceptional people did this with mere a 100 rupee in hand,  just their brain and determination.

Present: Geet back from London
