Geethanjali Iyer, an interior designer by profession and an art teacher by passion was a bubbly, fun-loving girl but now she has become reserved and quiet. She always tries to maintain her distance with everyone even her friends. Though she shows ev...
The dinner goes on well, the investors leave happily after meeting the team, "Mr.Chowdhary you have a very talented designer and team is also amazing...we are looking forward to see how the resort shapes up...I know it's totally going to be worth our investment" Ajay was also happy hearing them "Thank you so much... we'll make sure it's worth everything". Ajay looks at Geet, Kailash, Vidisha and Arjun "The investors are really happy with the work...good job guys", Vidisha "All the credits go to Geet and her designs Sir" Arjun "Yeah" Kailash "She is so talented", Geet smiles "Guys no...you all also worked hard so it's for all of us", Ajay looks at Geet "Thank you Ms.Iyer...you really did a great job managing both your work" Geet smiles and nods. Everyone leave from the restaurant, Geet was hesitant to leave with Ajay after the moment they shared, she was also getting nervous with the intense looks he was giving her but with no other choice she had to leave with Ajay. This time he refrains himself from staring at her after he sensed her discomfort during the dinner.
Ajay wanted to know about her Mumma he was debating whether to ask her or not but then decides to ask her "Can I ask you something Ms.Iyer", Geet looks at him "Yeah", Ajay "What happened to your mother...if you are not comfortable answering it's okay", Geet looks out of the window at the moon shining in the sky which gives her some kind of peace and takes a deep breath "Mumma had complications in her pregnancy but no one knew it could be fatal...but she died just few hours after giving birth to me...I don't know how she was nor have I seen her...all I know are the things I heard from dad and photos dad showed me of Mumma...from whatever I heard she is a wonderful woman and she had always loved me that even after knowing about the complications she refused to let me go...after coming to know about the complications everyone suggested to abort me but Mumma and dadda didn't waver from their decision...dad tried his best and took care of Mumma at each and every step but I guess it's fate...she left me when I was born (Tears drop from her eyes)...dad never left any chance to show how much he loved me...my Mumma's name was Anjali so he named me after her as Geethanjali...dad loved me immensely and still does he always went against the relatives when they talked behind my back about me being unlucky that I lost my mother as soon as I was born and more...people would give me pity looks but dad always kept me away from them...he used to take me to Mumma's memorial and make me talk to her saying if I talk to her from here she could hear it in heaven...and it became a habit for me to go and talk to Mumma every now and then...though I have not been with her physically I feel her warmth whenever I go to her place....and my Maa...she has always been there for me since my childhood...she never differentiated between me and Vishnu...she infact loved me more than her own son...but people keep saying she can't take my mother's place but she has taken each and every responsibility of being my mother and I can't imagine what would have been my life without her...I'm happy that I have both my Mumma and Maa in my life", she was so immersed in talking about her Mumma and Maa that she didn't even realise that Ajay had stopped the car.
Tears were falling continuously from her eyes when she had been talking about her Mumma, Ajay's hands itched to wipe off her tears, he didn't like seeing tears in her eyes but the constant smile she had on her face even through her tears while talking about her Mumma, Dad and Maa was the only thing keeping him from pulling her into his embrace and consoling her. He stopped the car at the place he always goes to when he wants to be alone where he feels at peace, 'Edward Elliot's beach' commonly called as 'Bessy beach', this is the place which gives him his much needed peace though it had memories of his dad which disturbed him yet it soothes his heart. She wipes her tears and looks around to find that car had stopped she thought they reached home but when she looks at the surroundings she saw that they were at Bessy, she turns to him "What are we doing at Bessy Mr.Chowdhary", he doesn't answer her, he just steps out of the car and moves to the other side and opens her door "Come with me", "But...why" she tries protesting but he unlocks her seat belt and takes her along with him. It was almost 11 p.m, not many people were there, he takes her to the water, the tides were gentle at this time of hour, "Mr.Chowdhary why...", He cuts her off "Shhhh...just feel the water Ms.Iyer...its soothing and relaxing...just close your eyes...and feel the breeze", she closes her eyes as he said, the gentle cool breeze flowing and the water hitting her feet softly calms her down and soothes her pain. The moon was shining bright in the sky, it's reflection in the water lighting up the water and making it glow.

"This place gives me the kind of peace I wish to have...nature with its own beauty has the ability to calm everyone...this was the place my dad always used to bring me when I would tell him I wanted to go out...as time passed he drifted away not only from me but from Maa and Anna also...I was 10 years old when dad left us...he divorced Maa for another woman...from that time I hated him for making my Mumma cry and I hated everything associated with him...but this place I was not able to stop myself...though I had stopped coming here after Dad left us...I could not stay away from it for long...I ended up coming here during my college days but that time this place offered me the comfort and serenity which no other place nor person could give me...since then this has become the place I go to calm myself down...especially during the nights...this calmness...this gentle breeze...soft tides...soothes every worry of mine...(he looks at her) I know talking about your Mumma might have brought out some things you didn't want to remember so this is the only place I could think of to comfort you" She looks at him and smiles "Thanks" and he also smiles back at her.
After sometime they left the water and sat down on the beach sand but his hand never left hers nor did she mind, they were sitting in complete silence none of them speaking just watching the tides and hearing the sounds of water gushing, but this silence was comforting. Ajay turns to her and watches her glowing face with the moonlight and a small smile adorning her face enhancing her beauty, I'm not sure what is this feeling...the desire to be with her... close to her...it's not just physical attraction that I'm sure of...had it been just that her tears wouldn't affect me...this feeling is something I want with me for lifetime...thank god krishna uncle got remarried to someone who loves her and gives her all the love of a mother...Vishnu must be her brother hope he also loves her...she has been through a lot but not anymore...I want to see her happy...no more tears from her eyes...they prick my heart...(he looks at her hand in his and smiles)...if this is the kind of feeling that Vish, Anna and Maa talk about then I'm happy to spend my life with her...I'll make sure I keep you happy Geethanjali...make sure that you'll definitely forget that you were about to resign...but yeah I need to do a little bit of drama to make you believe that I'm seriously trying to find a new designer...but you are the only one who will be my designer, he smiles to himself. Geet was also in deep thought, Whenever I think he is a rude, uncaring person...he does something that proves that he isn't...I'm not able to understand him...and the way he was looking at me today...I don't know why the way he looks at me makes me so nervous and my heart beats like I have run a marathon...this is one of the reasons I wanted to resign...I feel like I'm getting attached to him...I'm going too close to him that I feel like I'm loosing myself in him...I didn't share about Mumma to anyone but to him I felt like I could tell him anything...I can't have these feelings for him or anyone...I should find a new designer for him as soon as possible. Geethanjali realises her hand was in his, and takes it off from his hold and stands up in a go "Umm can we go", Ajay although disappointed that she took her hand from his doesn't show it in his face and just nods, he drops her home and goes back to his home thinking of ways to make her stay in the office.
