When It's Meant To Be...The Stars Seem To Glisten.... (Completed)

Chapter 8

Ajay and the teacher were shocked seeing each other, while they were still in shock of seeing eachother, the caretaker goes to the teacher "Thank you so much dear for bringing Ritu", teacher looks at her "It's not a problem Ma'am...now I'll leave" Ritu goes running to her "Miss miss stay for sometime", soon all the other kids also come out seeing her "Geethu miss", that's when he understands she is the teacher, ohh so she is their teacher...so she works in St.Mary's...she brought Ritu back, Geet looks at the kids "Hey kids", "Miss Miss stay with us for sometime" "Yes miss please stay", Geet looks here and there not knowing what to do "Ummm...kids...I..", "Miss please...play with us for sometime", she melts looking at the kids making puppy face "Okay...", "Yayyy". She smiles and goes aside to call her Mom, Ajay follows her while the kids keep jumping around in excitement, even he didn't know why he is following her but he just felt like it, she calls her mom "Maa I'll be late you don't wait for me.....I actually came to drop one of the kid at school in their NGO they actually want me stay for sometime...okay Maa...okay I'll have my food Maa don't worry...no I won't skip...Maa one more thing....I'll just go and see Mumma and come...Okay Maa..okay now you go and eat". Ajay was standing behind her had heard her conversation with her mom what he didn't understand was that she was  addressing the one who she was talking to as Maa yet she said she would go see her Mumma, if the one she is talking to is her mom then who is she referring to as Mumma...no no you idiot first why are you thinking about her...yeah why am I even thinking about her...why did I even follow her out here...I should go back.

They both go back to the kids, the kids take Ajay to Geethanjali, "Ajju Ajju this is our Geethanjali Miss...you know she is our favourite teacher...she teaches us how to draw...Miss this is Ajju...you both become friends...then we can play with each other", Geet and Ajay look at each other not knowing what to do, Ajay tries to convince the kids "Kids you play with your Geethanjali Miss...I have some work babies" but the kids were not ready to leave either of them "No Ajju you said you'll be with us today...go shake hands with Geethu miss and become her friend", Geethanjali was looking elsewhere thinking how to convince the kids "Miss you also shake hands with Ajju and become his friend", Ajay tries to deny again "Kids...", "We want to play shake hands na fast". The kids push them towards each other, Geet falls right in his arms and his arms encircle her waist holding her, their eyes meet each other for a few seconds, her golden brown eyes captivates his dark brown ones and they keep looking at each other, their hearts were beating erratically at their proximity. The kids giggling brings them to their senses, they both step away from eachother being embarrassed, "Yay now Ajju and Miss became friends...we can play", They both keep avoiding each other, "Let's play hide and seek", "yes".

Geet and Ajay play with the kids forgetting everything, after playing for sometime with the kids Ajay remembers Geet telling her mom that she will eat, "Okay kids you all go and play...I haven't eaten and I don't think your Miss also...we will eat and come" Geet looks at Ajay "Uhh...I have to go...my mom will be waiting" Ajay "You can have your lunch and go Miss.Iyer...its already late I don't think your mom would be waiting to eat with you", he didn't want her to know that he had listened to her talk with her mother. Geet "Ummm... Mr.Chowdhary it's okay I'll go home", Ajay "I need to talk to you Miss.Iyer...if you don't mind" Geet was not sure what to say but after thinking she agrees "Okay sure". Ajay takes her to the dining room, the cooks there serve them lunch, they both have their lunch silently. After they complete their lunch, Ajay starts "I'm sorry for that day I know I was rude but it was my opinion...I did give chance to designers who do two works at a time they ended up disappointing me each time..That's why I'm completely against it" Geet "It's okay Mr.Chowdhary...you don't have to explain anything to me" Ajay looks at her "I know...I know I told you that I will find a better designer than you but even I knew nobody could be better than you...it was my ego talking...but I can't compromise with my project...I want you to be my designer...I won't stop you from your school work I can see how much you love these kids so you can continue doing that while working as my designer...if you are still ready to accept the offer" Geet was not sure if she wanted to work with him, so she did not answer him. Ajay understands that she needs time "You can take your time Miss.Iyer...once you have thought about it and you are ready to accept the offer you can come to our office...you have a week's time...if you don't turn up I'll understand that you don't want to work with me" Geet nods "Okay I'll think about it and let you know...I..I have to leave now" Ajay "Sure and thank you for bringing Ritu" Geet smiles "No problem...it's my responsibility as a teacher to make sure my kids are safe" Ajay also smiles at her "Okay", Geet leaves from there after bidding bye to the kids.

Ajay spends some more time with the kids but his thoughts keep drifting to Geet, why am I thinking about her again and again...I shouldn't think about her so much...but why my heart was pounding when she was close to me...this is the first time I felt something like this....I'm thinking too much...yes that's why...I was stressed thinking about the designer that's why I'm imagining things. After going home he informs Vish and his mom about his meeting with Geethanjali and his offer to her, they both were happy hearing that he finally decided to give her a chance. By the night, when he goes to sleep, as soon as he closes his eyes her golden brown deer like eyes was the only thing he could see, he opens his eyes shocked, What the...I'm going mad...definitely that's why I'm seeing her even when I close my eyes...but her eyes...the ones in which I felt I could look into forever...I could drown in them...what the...what crazy shit am I thinking...I should just sleep.

That's all for now guys.
