💖MG SS O RE PIYA #2 - LINK FOR THREAD #3 ADDED - Page 8

Geet walks down to face her mom... rehearsing all what lies she needs to tell her and quietly escape from here.

While Nandini moves towards Rajji's room...Geet walks down slowly with a heavy heart... As per her, nothing has changed between her and Maan... Why are you doing this to me? Her heart bleeds... how they were so close some time back yet they are miles apart.

What am I doing babaji? I am just giving him what he wants by staying away from him? Her innocent mind is not finding any answers. Challo, acha hain...he will not get to see me most of the time today..baad ka baad main dekha jaayega..she is trying to console herself but she is deeply hurt as she is not able to share about this interview or anything to that matter. Her conscience is giving her message that she is doing wrong somewhere but she is forced to ignore it and again reason being HIM.

She is all lost in these thoughts while entering the kitchen and she almost jerked listening to Rano's voice.

R: Aagayi puttar? Atleast for today you have BF with the family.

Geet slowly turns to look back at the dining area. The entire family has gathered for Breakfast. Woman take pride in serving their dear husband... Simran Bhabhi is helping her husband with his favorite breakfast and also getting his lunch box ready and amidst all this, Tej holds her hand and gives a quick peck and bhabhi was all blushing giving an embarrassed look around if someone is watching them ...where as Lucky and Preetho were having Breakfast together also feeding each other every now and then lost in their own world. A tear escapes from her eyes thinking that in this last one year she has never even for once got to have family gathering like this. She happen to have some rare meal sessions with Daadima as most of the time, Daadima got her BF, Lunch and Dinner in her room itself.

AND MAAN!!! Not even for once she got to have with him.. NOT EVEN FOR ONCE!!! and obviously, even today, he wouldn't prefer to have BF with me and I will not put him into any embarrassed situation in front of my maternal family. Thanks to this interview and I will be away from haveli and from HIM for sometime. She doesn't want to continue thinking about it.

R: Daamad ji Kahan hain? Unhen saath main leke nahin aayi? (Where is Son-in-law? Why you didnt come along with him?)

G: Ji..wo..Ma..wo bas aathe hi honge.. (He must be on the way)

she tells this hanging between truth and lie.

R: kya matlab? Aapko unke saath aana chahiye tha na? (What do you mean? You should have accompanied him)

Rano scans Geet now.

R: Are you going somewhere?

G: Haan...Mujhe college main kuch kaam hain.

she again checks time and its 5 mins to 9 AM...

G: See.. Ridzi will be here any moment.

R: Kya? College? Your papa, Daarji and Tayaji are keen in having their BF with Daamadji and ...

G: what shall I do ma? ...I still have some work at college..also, I have to return and collect books from the library. Ab aap please sab samhallo. (You please handle the situation)

Rano sighs as she very well understands that Geet is also not to be blamed.

R: Daamadji se kaha ke tum college ja rahi ho? (Did you tell Son-in-law about your college visit?)

Geet gulps and ST: He would have definetly heard about me going out when I was telling to Nandini, anyways, he is the happiest person if I do not cross his path.

Geet has no other option left apart from lying to her mother on this.

G: Haan...Haan ma..I have informed him. And like yesterday, even today he is ok with it. She gulps and fakes a smile..

Rano does recalls all what happened the previous day...Maan was fighting all odds to send Geet to College. Hence she believes in Geet now.

R: Tik hain, par Puttar, why have you been avoiding to have any of meals sessions with the family?

How can she answer this? during her stay in HP for the last few days, she preferred to have all Meals sessions in alone in her room like how it has been happening in KM...She wants to get used to it as she knows she will be away from both the families for ever. Geet comes out of her thoughts when Rano continues her talks.

R: Anyways, Challo..kuch tho kha lo..challo...Main hi khiladethi hoon...

Rano was about to feed Geet..and right then, Manjeet walks in to the kitchen who has also been hearing to Rano-Geet conversation silently

Manjit: Seedhi si baat hain Rano..now, she is part of a richie rich family and she got so well adapted to that culture that she has started overlooking her maternal family. So, why do you even bother forcing her?

Manjit turns her face and takes the plate of hot parathas and leaves to the dining area. Rano sighs...where as Geet seems to be lost...

R: lets not take her words seriously...now, please eat something before you leave from here.

Rano again tries to feed her but Geet avoids this as well.

G: No Ma, I am not bothered about her..I really wish I could have something now, but its getting late. Challo...I will pack a paratha and have it on my way.

She wraps a parata and places it in a plastic tiffin box and keeps it in her bag.

G: Ab tho khush ho na ma...

How can Rano be happy? Geet's changed behavior is really worrying her.

Geet and Rano heard Ridzy's car horn..

G: I have to leave now...She pecks on her mom's cheeks...bye MAA

Geet leaves from the back door of the kitchen that has access to the backyard of the Haveli avoiding the crowd at the front entrance. She halts for few seconds before taking her seat..she wants to give one look to her room window which is accessible from the haveli backyard..but unable to. Some restlessness is building up in her. She is a different person compared to Maan...she cares and feels for everyone..and here, she is leaving her husband all alone..She consoles her restless mind... That's what he wants!!! but what to do? On one end this interview and on other end, he is the one who has set the rule that they should stay away from each other and not to cross the paths.

At the same time on the floor above the kitchen, a pair of eyes have been watching her till the time she gets into Ridzy's Red car and the car zooms off and he is still standing there... He really wish to stop them and pull Geet to be with him the whole day. Feeling low that he wanted to take her to his office and he couldnt even initiate this even. He really wonders how she controlled herself whenever she got to see him go out of KM...and what all she would have faced during that one month when he was in London... No wonder, She has been hurt to this extent that she is not even voicing out her pain and anguish directly to him. Yesterday her talks with her cousins, and today, she was opening up her mind in front of Nandini but so many unsaid words inbetween. All he could do is watch them helplessly. How can he cover up the mess he has created in both their lives? Nothing is coming to his mind..

his attention gets drawn to Geet's cupboard still left open and he moves towards it...recalls all what he got to know about her yesterday...her talks with her cousins about her relationship with her husband...the shawl she made for him.. he gently takes that gift packet and hugs it close to his heart..he understands that he is the one who has been distancing from her for the last one year ; and with the last blow that he gave her before leaving from KM and that was just 4 days back. The wound is still fresh. She has been waiting for this long without knowing if she has the authority to do so. Now, Its his turn to wait and he will wait for her till eternity..his attempts to talk to her have failed for yesterday and today but this failure has got him face to face with her aloofness, wounds, her pain and over and above all, the depth of her love. He knows that its not going to be easy. But his determination is getting stronger with every second passing by. After all, he is MSK and he will never give up.

Maan had to again change himself into formals as he has to be present during the interview session in his office in HP. He walks down the stairs..Daarji wonders why Geet is not accompanying him and he asks Rano who has been arranging the breakfast table.

D: Rano Puttar, where is Geet?

R: Ji..woh..she has gone to college.

D: What? College? How can she do like this? She was suppose to have BF along with Daamadji today.

Ofcourse how can you expect Manjeet to hold on to her big mouth.

Manjit: I just saw her in the kitchen sometime back. She was talking with Rano.

Rano knew that she has to face the elders taunt today...she feels she has been cornered.

R: Woh papaji..she had to leave. It seems she had to meet some faculties and return some books in library.

Manjeet: Kyon? Yeh kaam kal nahin ho saktha kya? (Why? This work can be done even tomorrow) Yeh ladki hamen apni sasural walon ke saamne sharminda karne par tuli huvi hain (This girl is hard bent in putting all of us into shame in front of her inlaws)

Maan: NO...SHE IS NOT!!

Everybody follow the direction of that voice and surprised to see Maan standing there. He further continues

Maan: Geet told me before leaving and You please dont take unnecessary tention about my family reputation.

Manjeet is again put into mute mode...Rajinder drags her to one corner and tells her...

Rajinder Manjeet: When will you understand what and when to talk? Daarji was handling the situation right? Now, why are you poking your nose in Maan-Geet matter unnecessarily?

Manjeet: Arre...you see...Geet has again left to college today when her presence is needed here...

Rajinder: You heard what Daamadji commented right? By the way, My father is the head of the family and he is still alive. He has the right to talk for this family. Now stop getting embarrassed and putting me embarrassment as well again and again...Take this as a last warning.

Rajinder leaves fuming Manjeet behind.

Over there, Maan talks to Daarji..

M: As discussed, its something between me and my wife...I am aware that Geet has some work in college.

D: Maaf karna beta..we all wished to have BF together and that's why I asked for her..

M: Please dont be sorry..you have full right to ask me anything as you are the one who is the Head of the family. I wish everyone respects that.

D: sighs and continues...ab challo beta...nashta karlo...

M: Woh..I am not hungry Daarji..

D: Beta...see...we all were waiting for you to join us..and Rano has been all busy in the kitchen since morning making all your favourites.

Maan wonders what Ranoma knows about his likes as he loves more of Italian dishes... still he nods for a Yes. He checks his watch and he still has time.

Daarji holds his hand and gently dragging him towards the dining table.

Rano has tears of joy in her eyes and setting plates, cups and spoons for him..Nandini comes forward and as she promised Geet..she takes care of serving him breakfast...

N: Rano Ma, Geet di has given me this responsibility. Let me serve jiju today...you see..its my pleasure to do it.

Nandini goes to Kitchen to arrange for few more things Manjeet gets irritated with this.

Maan takes his seat in the dining area and all men join him. Nandini arranges the cutlerries. Maan notices there's some note hidden under one of the cup...he takes it and reads...SORRY with a cartoon baby face.. He turns to look at Nandini and now Nandini gestures him sorry...holding her ears cutely...Maan turns his face and couldnt help smiling at her plight and that smile says it all. Nandini happily starts serving him gobi parathas and wheat halwa...he really relishes the taste of it.

Rano: Patha hain puttar, you used to love these gobi paratha and Wheat halwa prepared by me. I used to make it almost every day during your visit here during your younger days.

Maan remembers just few blurry things..he doesnt recall much as it was during his much younger days. Daarji started getting into emotional talks remembering the past.

Daarji: Woh bhi kya din the puttar. Your parents and Daadi would visit here every now and then either with regard to some official or property related works or sometimes they would be here to take a break from their busy city life...what ever may be, they would make a point to stay over here only...those were the real fun filled days...you kids were very young at that time.

A smile crept on Maan's lips as its been quite some time since he has heard or discussed about his childhood and he wants to listen more about it.

Maan: I have a blurry memory regarding this. But would love to hear more from you.

Daarji: Haan puttar...as I said, you all kids were very young..One thing that really amused us about you is, you would spend maximum time with Geet.

Maan's curiosity gets into a different level. He is jogging his memory to get the glimpse of those days.

Rajinder: Haan Papaji.. remember how surprising it used to be for us to witness this...Even though Tej and his friends were there but Maan would spend least time with them.

Mohi: haan...even at that tender age, he would be so caring and possessive about Geet...I would never forget how he was beating that neighbouring boy who pulled Geet's long hair..

Rajinder: Haan ...and remember, we had to face that boy's parents. It really got serious at that time.

All members of the family present there had a laugh..Ofcourse, Manjeet was an odd one out. Maan too had a blush thinking about his childhood days with Geet which he never knew but he is been touring to his past.

Daarji: Maan puttar, you and your siblings were overly loved and pampered by your parents and Daadima...but over here we maintain our strict discipline especially when it comes to female child..and YOU would literally fight with any of us, who would shout at Geet in name of discipline.

Mohi: And see Papaji...even today, he cannot stand anyone shouting at Geet in name of discipline.

While everyone takes this as an opportunity to laugh, Maan is really looking at them amused...he actually doesnt remember all these but YES, his heart is filled with joy recalling all those sweet memories of his childhood with his parents and Geet...He never ever imagined even in deepest of his dreams that he is already connected right from his childhood with the Girl whom he got to see in his farmhouse for the first time. While Daarji continues..

Daarji: And these things made all of us think that why not get you (Maan) and Geet married when you attend that marriageable age. And to our surprise, even your Daadi and your parents were in same discussion... on one end, we were confident that you both will make a good pair.. and also our family will stay united..and our friendship will be transformed into a ever lasting relationship. And both families took stronger decision on this during the function when Rajji was born.

Mohi: And... unfortunately, that was the last time we got to see your parents... few months passed and we heared about your parents untimely death due to accident. and everything changed. I still cannot believe that I have lost my good friend for ever... You stopped coming over here as Savithriji had to concentrate on business operations and at that old age, she had to ensure proper education and up bringing of you, Prem and Anvesha. And as time passed, we all elders were still determined about getting you both (Maaneet) married.

Daarji: I am really proud of you puttar, how well you handled your family and took over the business at a very tender age. Today, when I look back, I have no regrets on my decision. I am happy that you still possess that love and care for Geet ...or say, much more than what you used to feel for Geet during the childhood days.If Geet's Daadi would have been alive, she would have been the most happiest person to see you both together.. Bas aap dono issi tarah khush raho..

Maan was really wondering..there's so much to add to his and Geet relationship which he never knew or never took interest. At that rush of moment, when Geet's daadi was in death bed and their sudden wedding, he mistook this family to have taken advantage of the situation and maintained his sternness.

Once BF session is done, Nandini moves to Kitchen to prepare his black coffee...and Rano follows Maan towards Handwash area and finds it right this time to talk to him...Rano handsover towel whilst talking to him

Rano: Bura na mano tho ek gal karni thi puttar.

Maan: Sure Ma...Please go ahead.

Rano: sach sach batao...Aap dono khush tho ho na?

Maan's is actually startled hearling this question from Rano...He didnt understand in what context she is asking this question but still he could sense the motherly concern in it.. How did she guess that there's something wrong?

Rano: Is Geet adjusted into your family? Is she living upto expectations of a wife and daugher in law? She pauses and continues... I ask you for forgiveness on her behalf if she has done anything wrong or not lived upto your expectations. You see...she is still kiddish and moreover, you both got married in such circumstances. I am sure she would have had troubles in accepting new life that easily.

Rano has tears in her eyes. Maan feels so low...Its not Geet..but its HIM who had not accepted this relation and didnt live upto expectations. He holds her hands and his heart is filled with guilt and not able to meet Ranoma's eyes.

Maan: Maa..please..Aap eisa kyon soch rahi hain? there's nothing like that. She has been really doing good. BELIEVE ME.

Rano takes a sigh of relief..but still somewhere she is not convinced. She feels her daughter is hiding lot of stuff. Her eyes are getting teary now.

Rano: Even Geet has been making me believe the same thing. But really wonder why, I have been noticing so many changes in her...

Maan: Why do you feel that?

Rano: I am her mother..I can notice these things which she is trying to hide from me may be. To began health wise, she looks really pale...Also, she is not having meals sessions with the family. Instead, she is having it in her room all the time. Before marriage, she would make sure that she has every food session as a family gathering...And even today, she rushed out packing her tiffin box. I really wonder if she is even eating properly or not... khudh ka dhyan rakhthi bhi hain ya nahin

Maan doesnt know what to answer...Before that how do I really know as I never spent any time with her. I felt the pinch when Ridzi's father pointed out the same thing. Now how to answer Ranoma? Something is really weard and wrong here. He has been ignoring Geet this many days., how would he even know? I MUST FIND OUT.

Maan is lost in his deep thoughts when Rano continues...

Rano: All the time she is trying to stay away from the crowd and prefers to stay aloof. Earlier days, she used to talk and talk non stop with me...she would share each and everything. But she has changed a lot now. She just answers if I ask her something...that's it.

Maan is really wondering what's happening with Geet... He doesnt even know what was her true nature before marriage. But one thing even he noticed. She is quite different from the day he got to see her for the first time in farmhouse. Really, so careless he has been. If not as a wife, as a girl who stepped into KM and as a courtesy, he didnt even bother to enquire about her well being even for once... with these inputs that Ranoma is feeding him is only making his remorse deeper.

Rano: And..I apologise for one more thing...I have been noticing that she has been giving lot of importance to her studies. Hope she has not ignored her family rights because of this..If so, I am really very sorry. Woh kya hain na, usse padayi ka bohoth shok hain.

Shantima did tell him that she would spend max time on her studies and those hobbies so that she could keep her mind busy... and here, Ranoma has a different point of view now, what can he tell her?

M: Na Ma... Infact, I am proud of her...her academics and to be honest, I wouldnt even mind if she wants to continue with her higher studies.

Maan holds Rano's hands giving her a positive assurance.

M: Now, please dont confuse your mind with all these. Now, I am here, I will get things right. I promise.

Rano is really amused with Maan's understanding. Now she is convinced that what ever Geet has been assuring about Maan is nothing but TRUTH. While Maan is again drawning in his pool of guilt.

R: Beta..you go take your seat. Nandini will be getting your Black coffee anytime.

M: Hmm

While Rano enters the kitchen, she hears heated convo between Nandini and Manjeet.

Manjeet: Now, that Geet started dominating you? How dare she instructs you to serve Maan BF and now this coffee?

N: Na ma...what has happened now? Why are you getting unnecessarily angry? She requested me as she had to go to college. And also, how many times she would have helped me when I needed her help? By the way She is doing her higher education not any crime.

Manjeet: Bohuth zuban challane lagi hain teri!!...I know who is training you in all this..that so called high headed girl is dragging you into all this?

Nandini: Ma..pls...Anyways, can you tell me one thing? Ever since the time my marriage has got fixed with Rahul, you have been continuously taunting his family and have been telling me how should I keep my husband in control and his family in bay. But Geet is the one who has thought me good things about family life. I really wish you could have guided me how she did.

That's it...Manjeet lost her complete control and about to slap Nandini...

and Rano comes to her rescue on right time.

R: Yeh kya hain Di? Why are you getting unnecessarily angry and that too on your own daughter?

Manjeet: Dont try to come between me and Nandini...it would be better you handle your daughter before questioning me.

Rano can as well repeat the same sentence back to Manjeet asking her to stay away from Geet...but she doesnt want to do so in Nandini's presence...and she ignores Manjeet and talks to Nandini.

Rano: Puttar...give me the coffee..I will take it .

N: Na Rano Ma...I am fine. I will take it..

Rano and Nandini move out leaving fuming Manjeet behind. Today, she has faced enough because of GEET.

Over there, Maan is seated near the entrance where Nandini hands over a hot mug of coffee. Just then, few neighbouring ladies walk in. Many of them are Manjeet's friends. These ladies are already flattened with the Daamaad of Haanda Family...while some are impressed, others are Jealous. and just like Manjeet, they twist and turn any topic related to Geet and Maan.

Lady 1: Arre..Maan puttar, ..kee gal hain?

Maan is not comfortable with this local ladies gang but what to do? He must give in..He doesnt bother much and keeps his talk limited.

M: Ji..Sab tik...

Lady 2: Yeh kya? Geet ke hothe huve, Nandini, inke dhek rek main lagi hain? (What is this, Why Nandini is taking care of him while Geet has to do it?)

Maan is really rolling his eyes...what's the big deal if Nandini serves me with a cup of coffee? ...these ladies can create mountain with mustard seeds...huh!!

Lady 1: Lagtha hain Geet aaj bhi bahar gayi hain..apni pathi ko akele chodkar. (It seems Geet has gone out leaving her husband all alone)

Lady 3: See...this is what respect she has for her husband... this is the problem in educating the girl child

Lady 2: Haan...Aur Maan puttar, you are spoiling her further by permitting her to do her further studies? See...she has left you all alone in mercy of other family members to take care of you?

Lady 4: Aur aap dono bache kab paida kar rahe raho? (When will you have babies?)

(Note: This is the kind of blunt language they use in rural...I have faced it myself and typing it as it is...😆)

Maan almost chocked his coffee listening to this question...

Lady 2: Is tarah apne pathi ko akele chodke jaayegi tho phir ho gaye in ke bache!! (When this is the time she spends with her husband, then when they can have babies?)

My goodness..this is the limit...what do they expect? Wife should always be tagged to her husband where ever he goes? What's bothering these people if Geet stays at home or she goes out? By the way, why do you take interest in other's family or personal life?

Nandini could sence his discomfort and trying to control him..

N: Jiju...these women are like this only...All this while, Geet had to face them and today is your turn...Nandini couldnt help but giggle.

M: What?

N: Haan...from when Geet is here she has been listening to their taunts and interference...pinpointing her education, negligence towards her paternal family... By the way, dont think that Geet is the only girl who has been targeted...they keep taunting me saying I am very careless and how will I manage in my paternal home. Simi bhabhi is the real poor soul...she has to listen to my mom and each of these ladies act as her mother in law. wonder how these woman can be so judgemental. So, just ignore them.

Maan Sighs feeling really pity for Geet. What all challenges she has been bearing just to complete her education. When he is not able to stand these ladies even for a minute, then, what will be her condition facing these ladies day in and day out. So sad that she couldnt have a peaceful break here and moreover, everyone are blaming her for something or the other.

Those ladies are now busy discussing with each other with regard to Geet and Maan's married life and deciding what needs to be done further...and thanks god Daarji immediately came for the rescue...

D: Aap log yahan kya kar rahe hain? (What you people are doing here?) Manjeet is waiting for you people in the kitchen area...go there please.

All ladies suddenly got into the silent mode and quietly moved to the kitchen area!

D: Maan puttar...Please dont mind these ladies...They have a highly conservative upbringing.. I understand that people from metros can never accept such talks. So, simply just ignore their words.

M: Hmm.. No problem...Thank you for rescuing me out Daarji...I bet only you are capable of handling this crowd..

Daarji smiles at him...Yes puttar...I am used to it as I have lived in between these people for almost my life time.

M : Mujhe ab chalna chahiye..

Maan takes his blessings before leaving .

D: Jeethe raho beta...Take care.

M: Hmm..I will be back by evening.

CONTINUED BELOW...

Over to Geet and Ridzy...

Again...Geet has been sitting quite thinking about the happenings in and around her life. She has high hopes on this job and trying to keep all other thoughts on bay...but its not happening.

R: Geet..I should have come inside the haveli and atleast told hie to Maan jiju...but sorry yaar...I just wanted to avoid those specialist gynecologists and pediatritian..

G: Specialist Gynecologists and pediatricians?

R: Haan...those ladies who are surrounded by Manjeet...they keep talking about marriage and then having babies and how to take care of them...huh...they and their paramparya nuskas (Tips that are passed on from generations to generations) it would even challenge expert doctors like my dad.

Now Maan jiju is left all alone inbetween those ladies...let him taste the fruit which you have been tasting so far...Ridzy giggles at her own words..

Somehow Geet is not liking it...she didnt want to leave him alone because she wanted to...its because he wants to be alone. So, she left it. But she really feels the pinch to leave him all alone and also not telling him before going out.

R: So babes, kya kiya kal raat ko?

G: Kya karna hain yaar? It was yet another night leading to day...that's it.

R: Woh tho hain...but Maan Jiju is here sooo..

G: So, what?

R: Challo...direct mudhe par aathe hain...Yaar...I am so curious to know about your love...I mean Intimate life...kuch tho share karo na..

Geet really doesnt get this question. As said, she has never experienced physical intimacy...

G: What?

R: Oye Geet..now dont twist and turn the topic...enough is enough...she sighs...

Geet is really confused about what exactly Ridzy wants to know.

G: What you want to know ridzy?

Geet is really asking so innocently and Ridzy feels like banging her head somewhere.

R: Yaar Geet...I want to improve my Genral knowledge about love and intimacy well in advance...now, you are my only friend who is got married...so, kuch tho share kar na...Now, tell me what you both did last night? Ridzy gives a naughty wink...

G: Woh ...haan..we all girls had get together at the terrace... and I slept there itself.

R: AAAH...Geet ke babaji...how do you bare with her?

G: Yeh lo...main ne kya kiya hain? My cousins wanted to spend quality time with me.

R: Alright...I understand...but share some romantic moments which you both had during this one year of married life?

Geet remains quite again what to tell her now?

R: Yeh lo...phir se silent mode? Now you dont tell me that nothing happened between you both..I am no way going to buy it.

Geet just recalls her very first kiss..that happened previous day and it happened due to an accidental push..She is lost thinking about it and naturally a smile creeps her lips.. and her cheeks goes red.

R: Oh my goodness...finally, I got to see some blush in your face.

Geet get cautious now...as she promised to herself, she is not suppose to think about that moment.. but yet..it remains close to her heart..

G: Please Ridzy...stop it.

R: I will not stop till you tell me what has been happening between you both?

G: Ridzy...there are certain things you need to feel and experience it by yourself on the right time...so, patiently wait for your turn and until then, stay innocent.

Geet winks and smiles weakly...what can she say when there is nothing to say. While Ridzy is really going Mad... Its not that she really wants to know about these things..she wants to know how happy is Geet in her married life..but she is not getting any straight answers.

G: Challo please drop me in that corner.

Ridzy is really wondering...why Geet is getting down in the same place regularly...

R: Do give me a buzz whenever you are done with your works here...I will be there to pick you up in less than 5 mins.. BYE

G: BYE..

___

Geet happens to visit the Gurudwarah (Where Geet and Maan got married). She notices some engineers are here to take measurements and in some areas the work has already started progressing.. Right at that time, the Granti (sikh Priest) passed by her

Geet: Sat Sri Akal

Granti: Sat Sri Akal puttar

Geet: Ji..what's going on here?

Granti: Woh...one of the devotee has taken the responsibility to renovate this Gurudwarah completely. It was just yesterday he took permission from the committee and the work has already started progressing at a fast pace.

Geet is really feeling happy that this place is getting renovated..but also feels so low that how she wished to renovate this place and initiate this to Maan...but it was highly impossible to get this done. When he hates her then he would hate this place much more as this is the place which bound them together...NO...A FORCED RELATIONSHIP. She sighs.

Geet: Yeh tho bohuth hi achi baat hain...who is this person?

Granti: I really dont know much about him...If I remember right, he visited this place for the first time yesterday and he had a tour around and took a quick decision. Who ever he is...God bless him.

Geet lost of words...she really wished Maan could take such an initiative. But why would he? Now, who ever this person is, has made a special place in her life this very moment...as she is sentimentally attached to this Gurudwarah. Wishing to meet him at least once and thank him for all what he is doing.

She kneels in front of the holy book...

Babaji..You know,lots of things going on in my life..I am not able to talk to anyone openly apart from you. So many things happened since I visited last time here and today...i.e in just 2 days!!! Tears form in her eyes..I cant ask Maan or Daadi atleast you answer me...Why is Maan here in HP? Only you have an answer.She pauses a while...Anyways, what difference does it make? Nothing has changed...and it will never! We both still stand where we have been standing all these days from the time we have got married. Our souls are miles apart. She wipes her tears and sighs..Like I said that day, I have no regrets...I will move on to the direction that you choose for me.

Par babaji...what about this sacred bond? She holds on to the mangalsootra adorning her neck...One fine day, you decide and bound me into this with Maan...Initially, I didnt agree to this marriage as it happened all of a sudden and slowly slowly I started accepting it. And now, I have to leave.. she is not even able to complete She takes a sigh between her tears..She feels her heart bleeds with the very thought of separation from him. Even today, this moment, I am thinking about him only. Guilt is eating me that I haven't told him anything about this interview.. But when has he ever allowed me to speak? My Mere presence has been irking him..on that last day in KM, he clearly voiced out his hatred towards this relationship we are bound in. I know the reason why...now, you tell me...should I still give in to this relationship and give him this pain? Or I should walk out of it and at least he will make a fresh start with his love interest? Based on these facts of our life, I have made up my mind. I am really sorry.. somewhere, I couldnt live upto the expectations of a wife and daughter in law. I couldnt keep up those promises which I took here in this place on the day I got married to him...Let the blame be with me.

She pauses for few more seconds to calm her emotional self.

Babaji...TODAY is a very important day as I have second round of interview. Please bless me. I am highly positive about getting this job and if I get it, it will help me make a fresh start of my life. She folds her hands and offer her sincere prayer before leaving from there.

Its not as easy as it seems to be. Invariably, all this while she has been thinking about Maan and Maan only..she is shivering with the very thought of the isolated life which she has decided to lead...but what to do? She has to.

Maan on the way to office while driving gets a call. He sighs and puts it on speaker mode:

Daadi: Good Morning beta

Maan: Good Morning Daadi

Daadi: How are you? Meri Geet kaisi hain..

Maan doesnt have an answer even for this simple question which generally elders tend to know as the first thing before starting their conversation.

Maan: Haan...Haan daadi..All fine here.

Daadi: Hmm...good...So, how was the function yesterday?

Maan: Ji...it went well.

Daadi: you both enjoyed?

Maan: Ji..Ji daadima.

Daadi with her old age experience..she smiles weakly and answers...

Daadi: Till the time Geet was in KM, she would fake being happy and things are going smooth in between you both. Now, you are taking your turn.

Maan remains quite... and his silence is proving to be even harsh than the words that he has been speaking against this relationship.

Daadi: Kya baat hain beta? Did you manage to speak with Geet? Now please speak the truth..

Maan: Woh..she is just trying to avoid me...finding means to stay away from me...and I wanted to have an open talk with her yesterday night..but she decided to spend the night with her cousins in the terrace.

He was cribbing and daadi just couldnt help but smile. On the other hand, she was mentally prepared for this. She knew Geet will not give in that easily. But at least in these 2 days, Maan has understood his wrongs.

Maan: Daadi...I want her to shout at me or even hit me but I am not able to take her silence...and...

Daadi: But you are the one who had set these rules right from the first day of your married life?

Maan: Haan..par..

Daadi: I know what you are coming to say now, you want to change everything...undo and redo and so on... This is not a computer screen.. its life and its not that easy.

Maan: I understand Its not... But I want to make it easy..

Daadi: But its not going to be that simple task. Your presence in HP would have only added to her confusions..but anyways, to make you feel comfortable and give in to the set of rules you expected her to follow, she has been staying away from you . At the same time, she has to maintain the dignity of her so called married life in front of HP family and the people around. Poor girl...wonder what all life has to offer her. She sighs...I want to call her and talk to her but I am really feeling so low at this point of time. Each and every sec passing by is only increasing my guilt.

Maan: I am sorry to put you into this situation.

Daadi: No beta, its not only about you, its about ME as well. I have my own share of regrets. Many a times I feel guilty that I spoilt her life with that sudden decision and then on, I didnt take good care of her even though she was all the time being caring about me.

Maan is really not able to take Daadi's words of guilt...

Maan: Daadi, please dont think like that. I assure to get things right..At this point, I dont want to force her..I have to give in some time and take her into my confidence and I will do it. I will bring back all the happiness that you are longing for.

Daadi: My happiness lies in the moment when you both express true feelings for each other not to fake for the sake of people surrounding you. And that day, I will be convinced that you both are Truely Happy.

Maan: I promise you Daadi, you will soon witness that moment.

Daadi: All the best beta...Now, coming to business, I have taken a strong decision with APM..Its something confidential at the moment and the only person whom we can share these details out of our family is with Aadi.

Daadi and Maan happen to chat few confidential things until the time Maan's car reaches the office premises.

At the interview venue:

Maan reaches the HP office branch...He is coming over here for the first time. And he is warmly welcomed by Aadi who is operations Manager as well as Right hand to Maan. This office was recently taken on rental basis. For time being, no one sits here apart from Aadi and a office boy who does daily office chores. Aadi will be here till the operations are completely set and then move back to Delhi.

A: G...Good Morning Sir..

M: GM Aadi

Maan scans around the place. So, Sasha is not yet here? Interview is going to start by 10 30.

Aadi's face becomes small hearing Sasha's name...Unfortunately, he cannot comment or protest as she is Personnel Relations Manager (HR). He is not at all convinced with the way Sasha presents herself and conducts tough interview and moreover his heart goes for these fresh candidates whom he has lined up today as they have to face Sasha.

A: S...Sir...she had called me some time back. She reached HP yesterday night and she got up late due to tiring trip. She is on the way.

Maan rubs his temple controlling his frustration..he expected Sasha to be here early so that she can arrange for the interview well in advance. How different is she from her father...no sense of punctuality and responsibility. Now Maan-Aadi move to one of the small conference rooms.

M: Hmm..one way good as I need to talk something confidential and for time being its only Daadi, me and now, You are going to know about it.

Aadi listens to him curiously.

M: There's new member who is going to be added to the board of APM group soon.

(Note: APM stands for Anvesha, Prem and Maan)

A: Oh...sounds interesting sir... May I know who is the new member?

Maan doesnt want to disclose Geet's identity at this point of time.

M: She is part of Khurana family. I wanted to bring her today to office but she has other commitments. But soon you will get to see her. Also, this will bring in lot of changes in management and operations level but you have to make sure that these changes are implemented smoothly.

A: Will ensure this to happen...

M: Also, Soon APM name will be changed accordingly.

Sasha who just walked in to this office. She scans the office and her sharp ears guide her towards the cabin where Maan and Aadi are having a discussion. She is rooted to the ground..

Sasha ST: What am I hearing? A new member and that too "SHE" and a family member?

Sasha jogs her mind...she knows only Boss's Daadi and Aani...now seriously wondering who is it?

Sasha has achieved what she needed to achieve so far... She wanted to be a part of Khurana family soon and have this huge crush on Maan...Her dad being retired employee of KC, she could easily secure a job for herself in the same organisation and slowly started considered herself lucky...but that was the last time Luck had favoured her. Maan and Daadima consider her as mere employee and nothing more than that...Every day, she would dress up keeping in mind to woo her boss in many ways ...but he never ever gave a heed...even his eye contact with her will be of a minimum level and upto the point of work level. Already sasha is mad that so far nothing has been done on this front...and what she over heard now is simply increasing her fury. Now she is getting even more aggressive in her thoughts..

The cabin door opens and sasha moves to the nearby table and composes herself and checks on her file. Aadi's jaw is almost dropped out seeing her in one piece sleeveless micro mini dress... and hits his head...Oh god...when will this lady understand different dress coding according to place and situation...and the material of the dress is sticking to her figure sticking out in a very odd manner.,.and on top of that she thinks she looks attractive...

Maan too looks at her and takes a sigh and feels so uncomfortable...and that too she is wearing a PINK!! hah...he is trying to control his over possessiveness for his Pari..his Geet... Moreover, He has been noticing all her antics and has got lot of complaints internally also, he has got secret reference checks with her previous employers...and all have given negative comments about her. He has been putting up with her, all because she is daughter of munshiji who has been highly respected employee with Khuranas for almost 35 years and he has worked with 3 generations...i.e Maan's grandpa, Maan's dad and lastly Maan...and for Maan, Munshiji had been highly inspirational in the workplace and business front. That's why Maan immediately agreed to Munshiji's plea in hiring Sasha into KC and hired her into Human Resources stream based on her qualification.

Sasha: Hello MK

Maan: Hmm...So, are you prepared to conduct today's interview?

Sasha: YES...

Maan: Can I see the questionnaire that you have prepared to ask for these candidates?

Sasha: Oh MK..what is there? These candidates are absolute freshers and there is nothing much to do.

Maan: SASHA, Its more sensitive to hire a fresher they are recruited primarilly on their attitude grounds and it all depends on the set of questions that you prepare for them.

Sasha: I understand..but for these candidates, HAH..I can take their interviews LIKE THIS..and select best candidates out of the lot.

Sasha tells this by snapping her fingers and OVER CONFIDENCE is oozing out of her.

Sasha: Well...MK...I dont understand why you are hiring female candidates for these positions? I was voting for male candidates. Why not conduct these interviews again...and..

Maan cut her off in a diplomatic way... Well..I will ask for your expert suggestions if at all I need it...

Sasha: Woh...please dont mind it MK..I always take my decisions that will turn out to be beneficial for KC in future...

Maan is really fuming within...and forced not to loose control on his temper level on Sasha for the obvious reasons.

Just then, the office boy passed on the information that the candidates have started lining up and have been seated. ...Aadi has given him the list of candidate names arranged as per the time scheduled for their interview. Now the trio start interviewing the candidates one by one.

Geet reaches 15 mins before her interview time. She is not that nervous today like her first round of interview as Aadi had made her feel quite comfortable and she is bit relaxed as he is again going to be present in the second round as well. She recalls it was way too crowded here when she came for the first round of interview. She looks around and seems to be more organised and there are few girls of her age waiting for their turn of interview. Some of them have come with their family members, say, mom, brother and like herself, one or two candidates seems to be married and they have their encouraging husband holding them and comforting them... and she naturally misses Maan...this is the warmth that she ever expected from her husband, not his money, not his fame and life style..

Her thoughts gets distracted with some screams on the other side where a big gang of girls have grouped up and they shout of excitement when a candidate walks out finishing with the interview and a group of girls surrounds her. It seems they are from same college. While some are already done with their interviews others waiting for their turn and curiously listen to what exactly happened during the interview.

"Hey How was the interview"

"Oh...that MD, what a handsome Hunk. My concentration was more on that guy than the interview."

All Girls giggle...

"Haan Yaar...talk about it...Also, he seems to be quite tough..but still this attitude adds up to his looks"

"Suna hain, he sits in Main HQ in Delhi?"

"Sahi suna hain...You see, Initially, I wasnt interested in Delhi branch but now, I feel Delhi is not a bad choice either...My day will be made with one look of him"

Geet on the other side has been listening to these girls talk with an intention to gather some knowledge about all what they asked or say what are interviewer's expectations out of candidates...but All these girls are talking useless things and drooling about one of the Interviewer to an extent that they dont even know how the interview went...there was one more candidate who went inside for the interview while Geet still continues to hear them further...

"Oh yaah...ja na Dilli...he will be there to welcome you with open hands you see"

All other girls take a lough about this Jealousy filled comment..

"Arre..I bet he must have already won over the Delhi girls with his charms"

"Haaye...Many guys have been behind me...but mera dil is pe aa gaya hain yaar!"

"Rehne do..he will not spare a look at you...un keliye meri jaisi ladki achi lagegi...bilkul modern"

"Haan...haan..bilkul us bandariya jaisi jo hamare interview le rahi thi?( Yes yes...same like the female monkey who was taking our interview)..."

"Oh yes...amidst all our excitement about Mr. Handsome, we missed on this disgusting creature. Wondering why she was the one doing all the talking"

"Because she is in HR that's why..but that doesn't mean she can take the complete lead!"

"What was she even wearing?"

"Was she really wearing any dress? It was just a piece of cloth"

"What was she even doing here? I guess mistook this interview place to be a swimming pool and she is all dressed up for a sun bath?"

All had a loud laugh again and Geet is trying to join dots...these girls started talking about MD...then A LADY

"And see what kind of questions she was shooting on us...she was so rude in her ton"

"Yeah...as if she was making sure to ask twisted questions and also pinpointing at our experience levels...she should understand we are freshers."

"Haan re...if not for that MD, I would have thought her a lesson. What the hell does she thinks of herself?"

"She was taking our interview but glaring every now and then at Mr. Handsome. Thank God that Mr. Handsome has good taste and he was seated far away from her."

"Wonder what she even thinks about herself...She looks like those vampire / villis whom we get to see in the TV serials

"No...No...Kam**i, Da**n"

"I would say she was a Super B**ch"

Geet giggles listening to their comments...at the same time she is worried as no one is even talking about Aadi. Just then, one of the girls spoke about him.

"That Aadi Sir is such a sweet person. How comfortable he made us feel during the first round of interview. Today, he was as if sidelined by this lady"

Geet ST: Oh no...It seems as if a tough interview today...

She jerks listening to her name being called...she closes her eyes and shoots a very quick prayers to her babaji and opens the door and gets in...

Those gang of girls talk among themselves...they look at Geet and talk among themselves...she seems to be very simple and shy...wonder what will happen!

As Geet walks in..A pair of sharp eyes got to look at her and turns its vision away like how its dealing with all the candidates till now...What? What did I get to see just now? NO...how can she be here? He slams closes the file with frustration thinking its his illusion. Already he has been missing her since their sweet morning encounter. Why am I missing her already to the extent that I am hallucinating? He once again turns towards the entrance and again couldn't believe what he is getting to see...GEET? Is it really her??

While she walked in, she gently tries to set her duppatta and her dress on her shoulder line and she missed to notice the long branch growing of a plant that's growing in a huge plant pot kept in the side ...OUCH... she accidentally got pricked by it and she lost control on her self and about to fall down when suddenly 2 strong arms take a hold on her waist supporting against her fall. Both are so lost in this moment...Maan is lost in his hallucinative world while she again lost in her dream land for a brief moment. Those dreams which have been filling her with sweet and bitter emotions. She feels so comfortable in those arms and that musky fragrance that she inhaled when he had pinned her to the wall in the morning... Is it him? Is he the one holding her perfectly. she tries to open her eyes but unable to as she has hurt one of her eye is still disturbing her.

He gently parts his lips and blows her eyes to sooth her pain. She knows its a dream and so lost in this moment...forgetting the harsh reality.

While he is still scanning her innocent face and so lost in her...he knows he is going crazy with her thoughts lingering his heart and soul and still trying to come to terms with what's happening...Is it HER? Her hand reaches out to his cheek and holds on softly to make sure its not a dream and its him... and a smile touches her lips and she calls out his name so very softly...MAAN...

A smile touches his lips too..feeling her soft touch on his cheeks and hearing her call out his name. How could she guess its HIM?

She gently opens her eyes and looks at him, scans and blinks her eyes so cutely like she has always been doing whenever she gets to see him..and slowly her eyes widen with shock...as if she is thrown away from her beautiful dream...and she calls his name little louder now in a questioning way...MAAAN??...

She stares at him for a while and looks around and found Aadi and one other lady who has been staring back at her with wide eyes and then she turns to look back at herself and finds still locked in his arms and immediately escapes out of his hold to free herself and inwardly cursing her clumsiness.

Sasha is all fuming with jealousy seeing this candidate (Geet) in Maan's arms and on top of that she is taking his name.. HOW DARE SHE? All the other candidate were only gaping at him and that resulted in tougher interviews. but SHE? Yeh tho badi chalak nikli...she played her own tricks and also calling MK with his name? I have to teach her a lesson so that she will never ever dare to even look at any other guy.

Maaneet give a brief look to each other as if their eyes questioning each other's reason for the presence in this room.

While Aadi is confused how did Geet ever knew MD's name? Anyways, he hasnt been liking the way Sasha has been dealing with the candidates so far and really wish she is soft to this favourite candidate of his. He wants to make Geet feel comfortable...

Aadi: Hello Geet... Please have your seat...

Aadi's gestures proved that Geet is one of the candidate for the interview...So, she has applied for a job here and wonder where else? But But why? How could she? He is really restless thinking what else is going on in her mind...So, she had lied about going to her college for the sake of attending this interview.?..This girl is really driving me crazy. She could have hinted me that she is going for an interview today? Its not that he would mind but expected her to keep him informed...he sighs and he has to give in to the situation considering her as a candidate. But choose to be quite and letting the interview to go as planned and later he shall deal with the situation accordingly.

The seating arrangement is such that Maan sits in the corner...and then Aadi and then Sasha...and Sasha once again frawns as Maan is not sitting next to her even though she has been gesturing him to do so.

Geet takes her seat where the candidates sit and face the interviewers...she is really wondering what is Maan doing here? Is he a part of this interview pannel? Or there is some other reason for his presence here? or is it still an illusion. Geet is running thro lot of confusions...she is not able to spare him a look. She was already drowning in her guilt that she couldnt inform Maan about this interview and see..he is here. She looks up for a brief sec..Babaji!! That's all she could tell...she is not able to decide whether to blame her babaji or to again take his help...her eyes are invariably moving to the direction where Maan is seated. Now, she cannot hide or run...but FACE the situation that she has got herself into. Her heart is pacing so very fast...and she immediately gulped down one full glass of water that was kept in front of her and mentally preparing herself for what's going to come up and just then Aadi continues with the introduction session.

Aadi: And Geet...she is Sasha, HR Incharge of entire KC...and he was about to introduce Maan..when Sasha interfered.

Sasha: Well GIRL...

Geet: My name is Geet...and I would appreciate your efforts in calling me by my name...SASHA...M'AM!!!

Sasha was really hit back with candidate's demeanour ...but then, she tried to maintain her sternness...To that manner, Maan is also getting to see a different person all together..Till now, none of the candidate had the guts to tell this to Sasha..but Geet is the one who voiced it out in a diplomatic way.

Sasha: Well...OK.. Ms. Geet...My first advise is you better learn to see and walk hmm... !! Sasha sighs in frustration thinking about the moment Geet fell in Maan's arms just a while ago..and Maan clinches his fist listening to this...surprisingly Geet is been listening to her calmly as if she is accepting her mistake..while Sasha is just bothered to treat her with her harsh or rather rude behaviour.

Sasha: He is the MD of APM group..that is a part of KHURANA CONSTRUCTIONS.

Geet's eyes widen with shock...KHURANA CONSTRUCTIONS is echoing in her ears... APM group...is part of KC? She Gasps in fear Hey babaji...what's happening? This company belongs to Khuranas? And MAAN is MD here? She shivers with the very thought now...

Geet ST: Geet...what have you done? You should have gathered enough information about this company before attending the first round of interview itself..now, you have chosen to face the lion in his own den? Hey babaji...what would Maan think about me? I have purposely applied for this job? Now what shall I do? I have to face it..

She gulps and give a glance at him and steals away immediately... and Maan too could sense all uneasiness and rest that she is going thro.

Sasha: And dont forget that you are mere candidate here...so, dont address him with his name.

All Geet could express herself is with a sad smile...controlling every drop of her tears threatening to fall down her cheek...She is feeling so defeated that she has again landed back to the start...but its her mistake and has to face it

Geet: You are right Ma'm. I should not call him by his name...I was under assumption that I owe atlest this right for myself...she looks at Maan and that one look was enough to kill him... I AM VERY SORRY... MAAN...SIR..

She calling him SIR is ripping him into pieces.. he has to patiently wait till she complete her interview and then he must talk to her.

Geet's eyes have got moisten now...And Maan could feel the pain piercing out of her eyes...but forced to maintain his professional attitude as unfortunately Geet has come here on her own in order to prove her abilities in professional front and he cannot make her feel low at this point. And Sasha continues with her interview.

Sasha: Well..its better for you to get your hands on these basics ...

She thinks she has done an impressive job so far...and she looks at Maan and asks him..Hain na MK? (Is'nt it MK?)

Geet ST: MK? That's how Sasha calls him? Doesnt it sound even more unprofessional than calling her boss by his first name? Geet is really cribbing within...how righteously the other candidates have described Sasha...she is a real disgusting creature..

Sasha had made this request that she will call him MK...and he agreed to it at that point of time. Today he regrets for allowing her to be informal in some of the professional fronts as he is coming face to face with such a tough situation.

Sasha continues giving her typical sarcastic smile whilst scanning GEET's Resume..

Sasha: So...you are Ms. GEET...Hmm...GEET And?

Geet: Pardon me ma'm..I didnt get your question.

Sasha again taunts on this... Well...Aadi, you were mentioning that she is good in English and see, she is not able to understand even this simple question.

Aadi: Well Sasha, I myself didnt get your question. Can you please repeat what you are trying to ask Geet?

Geet: Yes mam..I genuinely didn't understand YOUR ENGLISH..hence can you please repeat your question in a way others here can understand?

Maan is still trying to hold on to his temper..

Maan: Sasha..you are dragging too long..come to the point..

Sasha was put into an embarrassment again in front of Aadi and Maan...she is now fuming within..

Sasha: Well..in your CV, you have mentioned your name as "GEET" only ... I would like to know your full name with your surname..

Maan is really taken back...why she hasnt mentioned her name as GEET Maan Singh Khurana? Atleast Geet Khurana?

Geet is really heaving and feeling chocked ...but still composes herself.

Geet: Well..you can call me GEET..guess this info is enough for you at this point of time.

Sasha happens to look back at Geet and now notices a pinch of Sindoor and the sacred chain in her neck..Sasha's anger further intensifies as Geet being a married woman trying to play her charms on Maan. But then a smirky smile touches her lips thinking about how to proceed with the further rounds of interview.

Sasha: Oh...well...you seemed to be married

Geet gives a shocking look at her.. There's nothing wrong in the question..but the way it is asked matters a lot.

Sasha: I mean, I guessed looking at that sindoor and that mangalsootra you are wearing.

Aadi and Maan too look at each other.. and every passing moment is really suffocating Maan and Geet in their respective seats.

Geet ST: Aadi never asked such personal questions to her and this lady is really seems to be a jerk or really wonder what to consider her as.

S: But why haven't you mentioned about your marital status in your profile?

Geet simply glares again...Now, Sasha is really routing her discussions not only personal..but sensitive topics. Maan is feeling as if this office is on fire...

S: Hmm...and you have choosen places like Ranchi, Gwalior, Jaipur, Indoor..and not in places in and around Hoshiyarpur...Hmm...INTERESTING.

Maan becomes numb hearing this and seriously wondering what all surprises he is going to get out of his wife...So, she is planning to relocate?

WELL...is your husband and his family aware that you are in look out for a job and that too..about your relocation plans?

Geet is really going restless. It is very true that she kept all this as a secret not only from her paternal but also maternal family. Her one hand clutches on to her sacred chain which is the only thing she has as a symbol of her married life..and gives herself some peace.

Geet doesnt answer and Sasha takes it to her benefit

S: Ya phir... your husband and his family has disowned you and you need to take care of yourself all by yourself?? She gives a Sad pout ... Ohhh...what a pity!!!

All Sasha does is knots her eyebrows with a winning smile to have put Geet into this fix.. AND THAT WAS IT...Geet was hit on her nervers...she wouldnt stand anyone even mention about her husband and her family... she had previously lost her mind when she had met Vikram..and now...SASHA. At the same time..Maan had decided this very moment that he would call of Sasha's position...and about to roar at Sasha...but Geet was faster with her action..She bangs her hand on the table with such an intencity that its hurting her but to her she is more deeply hurt with the way she is been interogated and that too right in front of her husband.. Her eyes have welled up. Deep within she is getting into her vulnerable self...just like it had happened the other day with Vikram..

Geet: Just STOP IT...she shouts on top of her voice to an extent that the crowd has gathered outside the office now.

Maan slowly gets up seeing Geet in such an Avtar...Sasha didnt expect such a reaction from Geet..and she is not atall aware of what trouble she has got herself into.

Geet: Who the hell are you haan? If I am here, it doesnt mean that my family has disowned me. she closes her eyes to control herself but it doesnt help. Who gave you permission to drag my husband and my family into all this?

Sasha: Ms. Geet...you dont recall who I am ...better behave your self..you are mere a candidate here and that too a fresher.

She doesnt showcast even a pinch of guilt or regret and this hits Geet further. Such a shameless creature she seems to be.

Geet: Just because I am a fresher, you have no right to be judgemental about me, my husband and my family! And coming to BEHAVIOUR...you need to check your dictionary to understand the actual meaning of it..

Maan is really amused. He knows the Geet who had been quitely baring all what he has done to her and she is masking it in front of her maternal family and over here, she is keeping up the self respect of her so called husband and her family but in a very different way and he never ever expected this...while Geet choose to call off her interview...

Geet: Aadi Sir..I cannot carry on with this interview...Or say, I am not fit for this job.

Aadi: But Geet..

Geet: Thank you for your kind consideration...Bye Aadi Sir..

She is not getting enough courage to even bid bye to Maan...she fears that she has to face the worst side of him today. But she is not prepared to spare this Sasha.

Sasha: She is right Aadi...she is not fit for this position. Lets call out for the next candidate.

Geet wants to give this B***h one tight slap but she didnt want to scoop to her level..moreover, she seriously wonders what kind of a person is working in KC and that too at a senior level.

Geet: Yes Sasha Mam...I am incapable of working in a place where people like YOU are hired.

That was a real tight slap on Sasha's face. Where as Geet feels low talking about KC like this...but there are certain facts which are true and it needs to be voiced out.

Sasha: HOW DARE YOU??

Geet points out her index finger to her... And talks in her stern voice...

Geet: SHHH...I AM NOT A CANDIDATE ANY MORE...SO...KEEP YOUR VOICE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.

Sasha stands startled with Geet's Authoritative words..Aadi wanted to clap his hands... Maan is still not able to come to terms that his Geet is talking like this. On one hand he is really really proud of how she can carry and defend herself...but on other hand he could see something deeply piled up in her hazels and moreover, she is not sparing one single look to him...It really worries him

Geet opens the door...and stands there for a a brief second and looks back at Sasha by folding her hands...those group of candidates were still present outside..wondering what has been happening...

Geet: SASHA MA'M..

Geet has a very different composure calling out Sasha's name...and Sasha is really wondering what is she still doing standing in the entrance and she is cautious all people outside are gaping inside... while Geet Continues...its not her...her frustration about someone dragging her to the most sensitive topic...

Geet: BANDARIYA...KA***NI... DA***N...Villi...Vampire...

She tells this all gradually yet loudly and a gap of one sec in between so that Sasha and others could clearly hear her.

Sasha: YOU...😡

Geet: AAN HAAN ...SASHA MA'M...Not Me...These are the names that some of the candidates have awarded you as they are overly impressed with your so-called interviewing session...

Geet sighs and Sasha is now getting cautious with the crowd gathering outside..

Geet: And in just one hour you have earned these names...then I am really wondering what will be your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly AND... life long achievements...

Geet claps her hands and says...WAY TO GO...

and she leaves and the crowd that has been gathered outside..Gave a huge clap... and those students who had actually spoken those names..clapped even more louder...making WOOOING Noise with excitement..

"WOW...what we thought about this girl and see ...she has lived upto her self respect"

"Not only hers...but all we candidate's self respect. Real hats off to her"

"That was far worst than a tight slap for that Villi"

"Now I bet that Bandariya will not conduct anymore interviews for her entire life"

" Hey...she (Geet) said all the bad words which we said..but I said Bi**h and she missed on this...Not fair!"

There was a roar of laughter...

"Why are you so worried? ..this girl (Geet) has left..but that Kam**i is still here..so, you tell it by yourself"

Sasha comes out and shouts at these girls... GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE...And those girls now run for their lives..

Maan is really hit with all surprises...but he is really worried for Geet now..once again she had packed all her emotions..he could very well sense that...he was taking few steps to move out and instantly stopped when he heard Sasha talking further to Aadi regarding this..

Sasha: What is this Aadi? What kind of candidates you have lined up today? They all are nothing but COUNTRY BRUTES...She takes a frustrated sigh and continues...And this GEET...

Maan: STOP IT SAAASHAAA!!

Sasha was instantly stopped and she trembles and almost falls down hearing her name taken in roaring tone..
