Chapter 8:

Heart vs. Brain

 

Maan on the other hand was restless, he hadn't slept last night and Geet's tear stained face kept coming in front of his eyes. He hated himself for making her cry. He knew she was just asking, no harm in that. And she was not like others. She never roamed around his office to catch a quick glace at him as Tasha often did or find silly reason to talk like Sasha. She would sit in her Bistro and do her accounts or serve lunch or make coffee. She kept her mind to her work; her dedication could clearly be seen by the quality of the food. 'Then I, the great MSK, have to come along and tell her off just because he was angry at some one else.' He wanted to apologize to Geet, talk to her. 'Amazing, first time I actually plan to talk to her it is Sunday so her day off. Where does she live??? How should I know?' Well he could ask Adi but after what happened yesterday he doubts that Adi will help him. Ok, then I have to do something on Monday.

 

Maan thought about ways to apologize, he even made some notes. It took him all Sunday and he still didn't know how and what exactly to say. He wanted to apologize without revealing his true reason for shouting out DISGUSTING. But nothing seemed right.

'What was it that made this girl so special that MSK is spending his entire Sunday trying to find ways to apologize????'

Here we go again; his mind was on automatic now.

'Maybe because she is honest, innocent and so not after you for your fame and money. Which technically means what?'

Maan shook his head. His mind sighed.

'It means she is so not like Samira and you know that. You are starting to have feelings for this girl; you are opening up but …'

Wait a minute, Maan told his mind, FEELINGS? Who are you??? My mind?

No gaddhe I am you heart. At times like these my reasoning is more sensible than that of you brain.

'Let me continue Maan. The fact that you noticed her silly attics, called her sweet, drowned in her eyes and didn't even regret having almost kissed her, well yeah I would call this feelings. Samira used you. You loved her and she didn't but don't you think by blocking out you feelings you are just doing Samira a favour, I means after all she did want you all for her self. She wanted you to be alone and if she couldn't have you then no one should'

"Maan, if you won't accept me, I'll make sure no one gets you"

Unwantingly I had helped Samira. I am ruining my self. But I should open up myself to THAT GIRL???

'Here we go again Maan, give the girl a chance. Think about it, she is not like other's jet when in normal circumstances she would have walloped you ear for the almost kiss she ran away and next time pretended as if there was nothing.'

What am I suppose to conclude from that??? Maan asked.

Maan's heart felt like strangling his brain for being so utterly useless.

'It means maybe she is feeling something for you, too. You should try and find out.'

 

 

Monday morning Dadi was surprised to see he grand son so nervous. But he wouldn't tell hence she had to ask her first partner in crime Adi.

He told her about what hat happened that evening and Dadi felt sorry for Geet. Maan was difficult at times but he shouldn't have said that.

"Maan?"

"Ji Dadi?"

"Anything you want to share with me?"

"Nahin to"

But Maan was aware that the lady sitting in front of him knew him inside out.

"Actually I want to apologize to someone but don't know how to."

Dadi was amazed, Maan and apologizing?

"And who is the lucky lady?"

"She is … How did you know she is a girl?"

"Maan stop wasting your time on such silly matters aren't you getting late?"

Dadi hoped he wouldn't ask further. She couldn't tell or else Adi would be in trouble.

"She works at Bistro Geet. I actually wanted to talk to Geet and then she came down, sweet girl, curly hair and great fig…" Maan kicked his brain mentally. How could he say such thing in front of Dadi? But she pretended everything was ok.

"Well I asked her about Geet and she started asking weird questions and I got mad at her and remembered how much she was similar to Samira. I said something I didn't mean to." Maan ended gloomily.

'Hey bhagwaan why is my grandson such a tube light in these matters??? He is the great MSK, successful businessman, most eligible bachelor in whole of India and jet ….'

"Well" she said aloud catching Maan's attention. "If she is simple then why don't you simply say sorry? Sometimes a mere sorry can do wonders where millions of other things fail."

 

Maan thought about Dadi's last line and left.

Dadi on the other hand was thinking of how to get to know what both felt for each other. Maan clearly was affected be Geet as he never said sorry to anyone but what about Geet? She kept thinking when she noticed the calendar. 'This is it. This should work. '

She called Adi and told him her plan.
