Chapter II ' I met Maan Singh Khurana
Geet rushed to the washroom.. She was not able to take the truth.. The man is there standing in front of her and she was in total shocked state.
"Babaji.. what are you doing to me..first I meet an unknown person'then this child and now you have brought me in front of him.." "What do you want me to do.." and tears started rolling down..
In her heart she wanted to go and tell him ..."See what you have done to me..I have to leave my family.. My future is now so uncertain... and what I am going to tell my child in future.. that I didn't know his father.. who was he.." but then how can she go and tell him.. it was all her fault.. She stupidly surrendered that night..she did not resist'..she actually wanted him to go on.. and she felt depressed..
The stranger about whom she use to wonder so much.. about whom she had thought so much.. she was so curious to know about him.. he is there in front of her.. but she didn't have any courage to tell him anything and on top of it how she can work here.. so close to him'
Her tears were flowing and flowing..
Shall she go and tell him.. But no he did not seem to recognize her' and she started questioning herself'
And even if agrees everything.. there is no love between them.. Love kee to chodo'she doesn't even know him.. How he is as person'.. she doesn't know him at all' and What he was doing that night.. she recollected.. he said he had asked hotel wallah for someone'.... what kind of character he is'
No.. I cannot tell him anything' No use'first he will not believe me.. and then I cannot work here'. she decided to leave KC premise.
She washed her face properly.. redid her makeup.. and decided to look confident once she is out of the washroom..
She collected her bag, certificates and was coming out of the room.. Suddenly she bumped into him..
He looked at her..smiled..
"Congratulations! You did well in the interview'. Collect your offer letter before you leave'".. He extended his hand..
She got the job.. she was very happy to hear it..but then how can she work here'
"Main yeh job nahin kar rahin hoon.. I am leaving now.."
He looked very surprised.. "You have got another offer..I thought you needed this very much.."
"Nahin.. par main yahan kaam nahin kar sakti.." she dared not looking at him.. if he recognizes her'
"Your choice.. I did not knew.. People appear for interview for time pass.. You don't deserve to work in such a company'I should have known... you small town girls dream a lot but cannot do it''.I will ask to cancel the offer.." his tone was very sarcastic'
Geet was back to her senses.. what he thinks.. She don't deserve it.. "I take the offer.. I will join.."
He smiled at her and left..
She sat on the chair..not able to take .. what she told him now.. she is joining'"Babaji..Please sambhal lena.."
She collected the offer letter.. It was decent one for her.. and she was asked to join from next day.
Next day : She prayed before leaving the house.. It was her first job, first day..She was feeling better now as she has job in hand.. at least money problem is sorted out.. but thinking about her office.. she realized she has to work with him.. She knew the name now at least.. "Maan Singh Khurana"
At office.. she was introduced with all staff.. they gave her warm welcome She liked Adi who was accountant.. Pinky who was receptionist.... and then she was explained about her assignment..
She was to work with MK directly as her assistant... That's what they call him MK. He himself was very experienced architect and Adi and Pinky found her lucky for such an opportunity...
"You will gain lot working with him.. He is very well known for his designs.."
She was now feeling nervous.. First she didn't wanted to work at KC because of him.. and now when she had decided then she has to work closely with him..She didn't wanted to go and meet him.. but does she has any control on whatever is happening in her life..
She decided to meet him.. after all he is her boss. How much she can avoid him..She knocked at the door..
"Yes, come in"..
"Sir I have joined today.. and I am asked to report to you.."
"Ms Handa.. I am busy today.. why don't you go through all information about the company, old project files.. get familiar..."
She nodded and left the cabin.. Not a bad start.. He doesn't seem to be that arrogant..
She was given a cabin near to MK's and she spent day in going through KC updates, old project files and arranging her desk..She was now feeling comfortable..
Next '"Ms Handa..I think we have met before.."
Geet was scared to go to office and face MK.... If again MK asks her then.. How many times she will lie to him.. if he recognizes her..then...she didn't wanted to think about that moment.. and then she started thinking about her own feelings....the truth she was avoiding to face... she knew in her heart.. So eagerly she waits for his calls..to hear his voice ..and if he smiles at her.. it makes her day..She was scared of her feelings developing for him..
"I have to go away from him.. I will not get anything from him except his nafrat.." and she decided to look for another job.
Few days later - Maan had come to know through his sources about Geet looking for another job.. and the first thought came in his mind.. "Is it because my questioning " and he decided to talk to her.. He called her in his cabin..
"Geet' Are you looking for job outside..?"
She was surprised and shocked.. How come he comes to know everything...
"Geet, its not that difficult for me to know about it.. If Maan Singh Khurana's assistant applies for job outside.. I will be the first one to know.. What is your problem.." He looked at her.. trying to understand her.
She didn't answered and lowered her eyes..
"Geet I am asking you something..".. He got impatient.. he got up from his seat and came nearer to her.. She still didn't look at him..
"Geet look at me.. " '. He came very close to her.. put his both hands on her shoulders.. and she was forced to look at him ..
"Geet.. agar mere sawaalon se tum pareshaan ho, upset ho.. to thik hain..aaj se I will not ask you again on this.. ab thik hain ?"
She nodded.. and he said .."Now kaam main dil lagoa.......Jao yahan se..."
"Thank you Sir ".. and she left..
Next few days, everything was back to normal.. MK didn't ask her anything,, and she was relieved. But she decided to avoid him as much as possible.. and kept the distance..
After 1 week 'Rohit meets Geet
Geet was in MK's cabin.. and he was explaining her some points.. Suddenly phone rang..
"Sir, this is Pinky.. Is Geet there ? "
He gave her the phone..
"Geet, Someone called Rohit has come to meet you. I have asked him to wait "
Hearing Rohit's name.. Geet froze....but seeing MK observing her.. she composed herself..
"Rohit..? Thik hain Pinky ask him to wait.. main 10 minute main aati hoon."
She then looked at Maan and he nodded her to leave..
She came to her cabin and asked.. Pinky to send Rohit to her cabin..
Rohit gave a big smile as he entered the cabin.. "Geet'. finally I found you.." and he hugged her tightly.. She didn't said anything'. She looked at him.. He was looking handsome as always.
"Geet, tujhe pata hain kitne mushkil se mujhain tera pata mila hain.. aur tu hain kee bina bataye hee chali aayee.. ek baar bhi nahin socha'' and he was going on... She couldn't think of anything...all moments with her parents, family, darji and then days before engagement started coming in front of her eyes.. she started crying..
"Geet , tu fikar mat kar.. Ghar vaapas chal.. Sab thik ho jayega.."
"Main ab vaapas nahin ja sakti.. Rohit.. ab sab khatam ho gaya hain.."
He was trying to console her..and she was crying and crying..
Suddenly she felt someone staring..' and found MK looking at them through the partition window.. and she controlled herself..
"Rohit tu abhi jaa.. I will meet you in evening.... office ke baad.." They decided to meet at CP around 7:00 'o clock and Rohit left.
Maan could not stop himself but staring through the window. He could see Geet crying.. and Rohit consoling her.. and he felt uneasy.. Who is he'.and why Geet is crying so much.. But then its not of his concern'.and when his eyes met Geet.. he felt caught ...interfering her privacy.. He then decided to concentrate on his files..
Evening - Geet reached CP.. as promised to Rohit.. Seeing her, he hugged her.. She was also feeling good seeing him'.after so many days.. She had met someone close to her.... some one from her HP.
He again asked her repeatedly the reason and she could not answer anything'
"Main tumhain kuch nahin bata sakti.." She didn't know what to explain to him.. and then after knowing truth.. will he feel same for her'and then surely he will tell her parents.. No she doesn't want them to know about it.. Its is better they think she is dead then hearing about all this. and she again was teary...
Rohit decided not to pressurize her more.. He loves her so much and cannot see tears in her eyes.. and if she starts crying again now.... One day she will open up.. He decided to keep patience..
"Thik hain Geet, Chal ice-cream khate hain." He tried to cheer her up. He went to buy and she was waiting for him...Suddenly she heard her name called.
"Geet, you here? " She turned back.. She found MK in his car...
She smiled at him.. "Sir I have come with my friend.."
and then Rohit came from behind.. with ice-cream in his hand.. She introduced them, they talked for few minutes and then MK left..
Next day - Party at KC
Everyone at KC was very excited, there was a party in the evening and all were discussing about it.. Geet had come to know that it was thrown for some big project completion. And all staff was invited.
"Geet you know'..KC parties are very grand.. You should see it'.. Par tera chehra kyon latka hua hain.. " Pinky asked her.. she found it odd.. Geet was not excited..
"Pinky,.. I am thinking about dress.. what I should wear.. "
"Geet anything looks better on you.. aur dress ka tension mat le.... its office party only.. I will pick you from your house.."
Geet finally decided to wear a off-white Saree.. she was sitting with Pinky, Adi and Romeo..
Suddenly her eyes were on MK'.who had just entered with his family.. He was looking very handsome in black suit'..she couldnot move her eyes from him.. then she found most of the girls eyes were on him'.😭
Pinky was non stop.. " Geet you know .. That old day is his dadi.. Sameera you know.. Then that is his sister Anvesha who is getting married soon and that guy is her fiance... and ...." but Geet didn't hear anything'. her eyes were only on MK who was sharing good moments with his family.. He caught her staring..and ..She decided to look other side and listen to what Romeo was saying. He had cracked some joke and everyone was laughing..
After some time, everyone was invited on the dance floor' couples were enjoying the slow and romantic music' She also decided to join Adi, Romeo and Pink on the dance floor and started enjoying the evening.. but her eyes were again on MK'. who seems to be enjoying dance with Sameera.. She didn't wanted to stare at them but she had no control on herself'she was feeling teary..
"Geet mat soch Maan Sir ke barain main'..." she was again feeling low..
Suddenly'She saw MK standing in front of her and before she could think and decide...she was in his arms'and he almost forced her to match steps with him....
"Geet, you are looking very beautiful in Saree'".. He was looking at her admiringly.
"Thank you Sir ' " She was feeling very un-comfortable.. why it is that when they are aamne-saamne.. there is this unsaid tension..and she loses all control...'she goes weak in her knees.. and now..she was so much aware of being in his arms...
"Geet mat soch.." she again reminded herself... she lowered her eyes.. avoiding seeing directly in his eyes..
Maan was able to feel the tension between them...something attracts him to her.. how much he had tried to keep himself away from her after their last discussion.... since he came in, his eyes were searching for her and he was very sure... today she is avoiding him..
now also when she is dancing with him...she is not looking at him'he was not liking it...
"Geet, woh tumhara dost hain.. I mean your boy friend..? " he asked her straight.. he doesn't know to play around words.. Since yesterday he was so eager to know.
"Rohit..?" She asked him to confirm.. He nodded..
"Nahin Sir.."
He felt relieved.. He was feeling uneasy since he had seen them together.. Geet saw that smile on his face.. She didn't like it'..when she is feeling so jealous.. how could he'' and ....she wanted that smile to go away...
"Sir.. woh mera mangetar tha.."
"Tha ? " He was now more puzzled..all signs of relief went away from his face.
"Haan Sir'..hamari engagement hone wali thi'. Par.." She paused for few second..
He was still looking at her....."Par ?"
She was suddenly.. sad.. completed...
