Chapter 25

Thanks to all of you sweety for spaming my previous thread and making me open a new one.

Abi - Special   to you dear.

Maan reached office, he was still in thought of party when he gets call from receptionist

"Sir, Mr Siddhart wants to meet you" Maan's heart boiled at the very name but he was from the client side "Send him in"

After a while

Maan and Siddhart had some project related talk and then

"Mr Maan, I can give the major part of project to you, see I am leading it but I have a condition"

Maan knowing the industry very well knew something idiotic is coming

"Go Ahead"

At that very moment Geet entered Maan's office but none noticed her,she enter without a knock, as she was in no mind of manner now. She had to discuss last night party with him.

"Geet Handa, I have always been impressed by her and yesterday when I met was stunned by her personality yesterday. You have her as head of project head, so I was thinking if you could arrange for dinner between Geet Handa and me. You see it's all business and you understand business very well and it looks like she will not deny you"

Maan very well understood the underlying meaning but at that moment he kept quiet.

Maan smiled pleasantly "you will get your invitation letter soon."

They shook hand and Maan's eyes then went on Geet, who stood there hearing just last part of talk and was full teary eyes.

Their eyes met and Geet left for her cabin. Maan continued with Siddhart for five mints more.

"Did he mean, he will go this far by saying I will burn. Is this the way he is planning to burn me, No Maan you love me, how could you. You are burning everything in your anger, you are hurting yourself more than me. I won't let you do anything which will put you on guilt track.

I have no issue with Sidhhart, Geet knows very well how to handle such people but Maan, how could you"

While Maan was cool in his office and made few immediate calls and then left for Geet's cabin. Seeing him Geet immediately got up from her seat with puffy eyes..

He stood staright near him, but Maan stood cool and calm "So this is what you mean by burning me"

"This is just the begining" Maan said coolly

"How could you, how could you accept to send me in dinner with Siddhart when deep within you know, I am your wife."

"What? You are talking about dinner, I thought you are talking about the Party."

Geet mocked the smile "Party was nothing, if you are ready to to send me to dinner with person like him."

Maan shook his head "Sometimes I wonder, how were you handling Handa construction when you reach the conclusion without going in detail"

"What is left to go in detail Maan, when my own husband is sending me with someone else on Dinner. Now just tell me when have you decided to send me, I willdo this too. If that satisfies you"

Maan closed his eyes in anger and frustration and then turned back, held her hand tightly

"If you get it that way, I will definitely let you know when and where to go an hour before you are supposed to leave. Are you fine with that? Anyways what problem do you have with such parties, dances and Dinner. None"

"As far as I remember, you taught me these things and you earlier had no problem with all this. Just give little pressure to your memory and you will get them all. Why do you have problem now, its all so strange to me."

Maan in anger immediately left for home, he knew his mother would be boiling with anger at home.

Geet was still frustrated when two hours after the confrontation with Maan she got a phone. It was from client. All Geet knew was Maan has fixed her appointment for dinner

"Hello Mam, we have got a new meting scheduled for you"

"Ohh yeah, go ahead" she said in anger.

"Mam, we have a new project head, Mr Dan and he will now be handling project from our side and thus Mr Maan and our side decided you to meet him"

Geet got confused ""And Mr. Siddhart" "Ohh for some reason, Mr Maan stricktly called us and said, if Mr. Siddhart works in this project he will not work with us, we still don't know the reason but we cannot efford to loose Khurana group working with us."

"What? When did this happen? " "Around 2 and half hour ago" "means before he met me, he already got Siddhart out"

"Mam, when do you want to get this meeting done" Geet somehow asked her some time and got the call disconnected.

"Ohh God, maine Maan se kya se kya keh diya. Maan was right, unkee puri baat to sunni thi. Sachi how was I handling Handa group? "

Geet all worried left to Maan's cabin but then he was long back gone. Geet could not concentrate in office and left for home herself.

"Geet you should have known, maan can never ever hurt you to this extent, then how could you say all this to him.. Sachi jabse pyar hua hai, bilkul jhalli ho gayee hai tu Geet. Your mind doesn't work and heart works a little too much"

Geet went home cursing herself and then remebring Maan's word about the past parties:

Past:

Geet never wanted to take Maan to her business parties, how will she meet with her business associates and clients with her husband who have no standard, what will her status and reputation be. So she mostly preferred going alone.

But when it would be a late night party or ouside the town, Maan's mother would not like the risk of sending her all alone and compel him to accompany Geet.

Geet would stay quiet at home but as they would reach the venue

"I have many business associates and high profile people here to meet. Do you think I will destroy my reputation coming with you. I am Geet handa and I have my class"

By this time, the relation has been already sour between them

"I have no interest in showing up as your husband when I am not one but I will not stay out all the while you are partying and I can't leave you alone here"

"Ok, come in"

In Party Maan would satnd in the corner, what could he, he could not introduce him as her husband.

All he could see there her enjoying the party, men would come and hug her and she would hug them back, ignoring Maan's mere presence. When dance would start, someone would ask her to join, she taking it as party manner would go along and dance with someone. She was all ready to prove she was single and somewhere to prove Maan explicitly that he meant nothing to her as huband, thus enjoy the dance and Maan would keep burning inside, seeing his own wife in someone else's arm, setting the party on fire.

Though she would herself never cross her limit but still her act was not one which could be approved by husband or ot not shatter his ego and faith in relation to pieces.

When Geet would meet young client or some youth from such group, they would definitely be charmed by her beuty, personality, position and wealth and thus would never stop flirting.

Geet sometimes would alos think of her future, she would have to settle after leaving Maan and this time she had decided to make her own decision. Thus whn some potential young men of her class would ask her for dinner, she would accept it and along with it she could discuss her business properly during dinner.

Neither Maan wanted to go along with her in such meeting nor she would prefer but if the meeting would be little late in evening, Maan's mother would in no case let her go without Maan.

What if something happens, Geet after all was their responsibility here and she will have to answer her father.

Maan would tag along with her but she would ask him to drop little before and he would come back at time allotted by her. When she would be late, he sometimes reached the venue in anger and leave the venue in more anger seeing her busy in talks with the person.

Seeing him she would take her own time to come and dely even more.

Though Geet never got interested in any men she met and thus keep her own distance but picture presented to Maan was different.

Actually after staying with Maan, physically no doubt no one came upto her expectation now. He has left her with some different physical desire which none stood any where near him, though she would never accept it.

Not only physically but none's working ability now matched to her standard, which was high now after working with Maan.

On humanitarian ground, all of them looked very empty to her now. But it was due to satying with Maan, being with Maan and seeing him day night, what a person he is, she would never accept.
