On the other side of the dining table, Prem has been observing his little sister who is all lost these days. Prem knows very well what's bothering her. He assumes that just like him, even Annie wants to see her Maan Bhai and Geet to settle down in their life and to see the Khurana Khandaan leading a happy life together. He knows very well how Annie has bonded so very well with Geet in this past one year that she used to share anything and everything with Geet...Prem is completely unaware of Vikram's entry in Annie's life and Vikram being cause of big misunderstanding between Annie and Geet...

Prem decides to break this awkward silence.

Prem:

Annie just responds by slowly nodding for a "YES"

Prem:

Annie:

Prem: ( I can see how you are having it). He sighs.....

Annie: .

Prem:

Annie:

Prem:

Annie:

Prem:

Annie closes her eyes and turns away her face from Prem. Geet did inform Annie much earlier about this..and Annie has conveniently forgotten due to all twists and turns that took place recently between her and Geet.

Annie:

Prem holds on Annie's hands...

Annie looks at him surprisingly..

Prem:

Annie guess Prem Teasing her and she hits him on his hand...

Annie:

Prem:

Annie is not able to guess.

Prem:

Annie instantly stands up hearing this...

Annie:

Prem:

Annie is not able to believe what Prem is saying...Annie is feeling truly happy for Her bro and Geet...This was her true wish but now her harsh words are hitting her back...

Annie: (bro is preparing to get back Geet? This is a very happy news)

Prem:

Prem tells Annie all what happened on that day in KM when Maan came back from London and Geet was about to leave to Hoshiyarpur. Annie again sits back in her chair with a thug...she could sincerely feel all what Geet might have went thro in that one month and...all this happened..

Annie ST:

Annie:

Annie: (Its really bad that all this happened with Geet)

Annie asks this all lost in that "Vikram incident"...Prem is unaware of all this but he has been holding himself also responsible for not being with that innocent girl.

Prem:

He sighs...

(He is changing a lot)

Annie wipes her tears and a smile touches her face listening to last few sentences..

Annie:

Annie is really getting all excited as she truly intended Maan-Geet to accept each other and live together.

Annie:

Prem:

Annie:

Prem:

Annie: .

Prem:

_______________________

Geet is in deep thoughts with her last talk with Annie was as if that incident is repeating itself again. But this time she doesn't close her ears as she is well adapted to yet another painful memory that she has got in her married life. Yet she ensured there's peace in her paternal family. Geet was not having a stable mindset till the time Annie was in blind trust in her relationship with Vikram. She was in constant touch with Arjun. Geet was literally shivering on the day Arjun informed her about Annie going to Vikram's home for his Birthday party...and she just couldn't believe herself to know that Vikram can really scoop this low to bring Khurana's fame to streets. Such a coward he was to use the woman of Khurana's family to satisfy his revenge.

Geet ST:

Geet closes her eyes and now she goes restless with the very thought of it.. The earth beneath her got swiped away hearing all what Arjun updated her about all Vikram had planned just after he got back to Canada.

Geet ST:

Geet takes her mobile again and she in a dilemma to reply to Annie's message or not...and when she decides for an YES, she is again confused "What to type? And her hand again gets pulled down with her mobile and she is once again going blank with her last talk with Annie... both were sharing a wonderful bond which had to face dark shadow and its all because of that Vikram...But giving a serious thought, is Vikram to be blamed 100% for it? Yes, his advances was not acceptable but what made him to scoop his thoughts to that level and his cheap opinion about me? Its all because of the actual place where she belongs in Maan's life and that made way to his advances on me . Its so very true. When a young woman like me, who is married for name sake but yet she has to value it as she has been thought that her husband means everything in life...and when her husband disowns her or even doesn't value this relationship then this is the kind of respect she gets from her paternal family and society...If not like a wife ..but a normal respect that any human being deserves. At Least he should have stood by me. That's all what I desired from him...and that respect and support would have made ocean of difference in my life. IF AT ALL ... She sighs...her eyes getting moist again thinking about her own vulnerable situation she has been put thro when her husband not at her side. If Maan was on her side, even Annie wouldn't have dared to speak such harsh words...especially pinpointing and challenging Geet's actual worth in Maan's life.

She keeps her mobile on the dressing table. She wears her kada which Daadi made sure she wears it all time. As promised, she will wear it for special occasions for time being. But she has to return it later when she will bid good bye to her married life. She sighs and looks at herself in the mirror...again she is lost in herself...she is all dressed up but why? What for? For how long and how many times, she has to live and pretend for the sake of others? Even Babaji is failing to answer her. Annies words have been imprinted deep in her mind.

Geet ST with a sad smile:

Its easily said and done by her but she has wrapped and packed all her desires deep within her and its fighting its way to come out.

She has been still standing in front of the mirror all lost looking at her own image. Her eyes again getting moist but no tears this time.. Again lost in her thoughts. Just then the silence surrounding her got interrupted, literally jerking her...It was the sound of the door which opened without knocking before.

She saw Maan's image which is getting mirrored in front of her...he stood rooted looking at her image thro the mirror and she too remains in her position like a statue all lost looking at him for a brief moment. .At first she couldn't believe what's happening and of course she thinks it's an illusion. She slowly turns to look back and he is actually standing there.

Geet ST:
