Shanti:

Geet slowly gets up and runs to Shantima and hugs her and again cries out loud...

Shanti is really feeling sad for this girl. She could very well understand the level of mental trauma Geet is currently going thro. Moreover, her Maan baba is not around.

Shanti: (What happened? What are you doing here?)

Geet had no answer for this...all she could do is to continue with her sobbing.

Shanti:

Geet scans Maan's room again and she slowly moves to her room along with Shanti and Shanti helps her to sit on the bed. She checks on Geet's health if she has high temperature or something..and convinced to find her health normal...but what can she ever do for the trauma that she is going thro mentally. All Shanti can do is to give her a moral support but how far that would help this poor girl? And what made Geet's way to Maan's room ? Why is she so restless and heart broken? She must find out. She hands over a glass of water to Geet..

Shanti: (Did any one told anything?)

Geet remains quite. She cannot disclose her meeting with Vikram as she had promised to Annie.

Geet:

Shanti:

Geet holds shanti's palm and she looks at Shanti with Teary eyes...

Geet: ( Who am I?)

Shanti knows what she is referring to...this is one question which she doesnt have an answer.

Geet: (Why am I here?)

Shanti: (You are Geet and you are elder daughter in law of this family)

Geet:

Shanti:

Geet:

All shanti does is she nods her head to all her innocent questions...which has got her only harsh answers so far...

Geet: (Then where is my husband?)

Shanti is getting emotional on Geet's innocence filled questions which she is asking with teary eyes...

Shanti:

Geet:

Shanti:

Geet: (I am not referring to the distance between US as he is in London...I am referring to the distance between our hearts)

Shanti holds on to her shoulder to support her..

Geet: (To be honest, the path of our hearts are so different that they will never ever meet..NEVER)

Geet recalls all what he had spoken to her in the outhouse...about his PARI...and she knows this so called relationship that she is sharing with Maan is VOID as she can never ever take that girl's place. Yes..she loves him and that's what made her defend her relationship with Maan in front of Vikram...but the actual fact is there's no relationship what so ever.

She takes a sad sigh and continues

Geet:

Shanti:

Geet:

Shanti is really speechless. This is the first ever time she remains quite..as she knows Geet is right in her place.

Geet:

Shanti: (I will teach that person a lesson right away)

Geet:

Shanti's heart beats faster getting to hear "HIM and what did he do to this innocent soul? What advancement he had taken?

Shanti:

Shanti is going restless and her entire body is shivering hearing to what has happened to Geet today...Geet holds a place of "daughter" in her heart...and no way she can see Geet being insulted like this..

Shanti: (Dadima) (You come with me...lets meet Daadima nad tell her all the truth)

Shanti tries to drag her...but Geet stops her.

Geet:

Shanti is really amused with Geet..she is mix of innocence and maturity...and always she thinks about everyone in this family especially Daadima..She feels sad for Geet as well as Maan...as she knows very well that no other girl will match him by all means and he is failing to realize it and when he will realize it, it will be too late.

Geet:

Shanti holds her shoulder with a tight grip and continues...

Shanti: (People around us are always in look out for reasons) she takes a long sigh before continuing...

Geet has a sad smile with tears rolling down her cheeks...

Shanti cups Geet's facewipes her tears...

Shanti:

Geet:

Shanti:

Geet:

Shanti:

Shanti's words are giving Geet some positive rays of hopes.

Shanti: (Now calm your mind)

Geet:

Shanti:

Shanti arranges for her dinner at her room and by the time she finishes with her dinner...Geet is feeling light at heart after talking to Shanti...but least did she expect that this peace is again going to be short lived. She gets call from Annie.

Geet was suppose to call Annie and brief her all what happened. She was about to call her after an hour or two as she is aware of the time differences between Delhi and Toronto and was about to call her after her last class finishes...but Annie happen to take a lead by bunking her last class. Before calling Geet, she had called Vikram...and ofcourse, Annie is blind in his love believing each and every word Vikram has told her about the meeting that he had with Geet.

Geet:

Annie:

Geet is literally shocked with Annie's talk...she didnt understand what Annie is upto in the first place but Annie's anger filled state of mind was quite evident and wondering what could be the reason.

Geet:

Annie:

Geet has never heard such bitter words from Annie...she is trying her best to stay calm...and listen to Annie.

Annie:

Geet:

Annie:

Geet:

Annie:

Geet is going speechless...Never ever Annie has spoken to her like this

Annie:

Geet:

Annie:

Geet is nodding for a NO...and she is not able to hear those harsh words from Annie.

Geet:

Annie gives deaf ear to Geet's pleads..

Annie:

Geet continues with her sobbing voice...

Geet:

Annie:

Geet closes her ears with her palm as she is unable to give into Annie's rude comments...

Annie: (Nobody will be in and around you)

Geet's eyes fills with fresh tears...she had just had some ray of hope with regard to her relationship with Maan and the other family members...and Annie has axed all the last hopes that were the only support she had so far.

Annie: A

Geet:

Annie:

Annie cut her call and Geet is just standing there like a motionless statue and her mobile slips from her hand...and she remains in that position with a state of shock of all what happened. Its not the first time that she builds up a new optimism that everything will sort out in her married life...and THUG, all what she builds up simply crashes down in front of her vision...and this time, the great honor was done by Annie. Annie had cut off her call but all what she had spoke is still echoing in Geet's ears...especially the words which pricked her with regard to her true place in Maan's life.

Just then, her mobile rings again...and she sees the caller ID and immediately attends to the call..

Geet:

Arjun:

Geet holds on to the call unable to control her sobs...

Arjun: He takes a anger filled sigh...

Geet immediately wipes her tears...

Geet:

Arjun:

Geet:

Arjun:

Geet:

Geet sighs and continues...

Geet:

Arjun:

Geet:

Arjun:

Geet cuts her call with Arjun...she is worried with all what Annie has invited herself into...she needs to ensure Annie is safe...She cannot talk about this with Prem or Maan...but has to rely on Arjun now... She has no other choice she couldnt call Annie again after that day nor Annie called her...She just left it on Arjun now...but this Annie-Vikram chapter had definitely had a negative effect on her.

Flashback ends...
