Dadi then tells them that Maan is taking Geet to Hosiarpur...

Last time Geet missed her chance know, this time Maan is not gioing to miss the chance...

Maan keeps drivng...

Geet wonders where he is taking her...

She keeps asking him but Maan tells her that she will know it in a few hours...

Geet too wanted just this...a long drive with Maan all alone...

Only Maan and Geet...away from everyone...

And in the middle Maan stops the car...

Geet looks out...

It' s some remote area...

Seems like some reserved forest area...

Geet: Maan, aap yahan kyun rukh gaye

Maan: tum bhi aao Geet

Maan opens her door...

It's very cold out there...

Geet steps out and she is shivering...

Maan embraces her and pulls her inside his coat...

Geet feels comfortable and warm...

Maan holds her in his arms and takes her towards his tent...

It's been arranged for that night...

There is only the Moonlight and it's still dark...

They get near the tent and Geet finds a snall wooden table and chairs made out of logs...

Geet: Maan, hum yahan kyun aaye hai? aur raat ko yahi rukhenge kya? mujhe toh bahut dar lagthi hai, aapko aaise sunsan jaga hi milla tha? aap aur aapke junglee dil...

Geet keeps on talking and Maan is just waiting for that...

Maan closes her lips..."chup...bilkul chup..."

Maan asks Geet to wait ...

Geet sits there and keeps watching Maan...

Maan gets a few candles and lights them...

Geet loves that atmosphere...

Though it's a little scary she is not bothered as Maan is with her...

Geet takes the match box form Maan and lights the rest if the candles...

Maan goes and gets a cake...

A heart shaped cake...

Geet's favourite chocolate cake decorated with strawberries...

Geet is very happy...

Geet: Maan, what's this?

Maan: Geet, I want to celebrate our reunion

Geet: me too

Maan: come on Geet, cut the cake...

Geet cuts the cake...

She takes a piece and gives it to Maan...

Maan holds her hand and feeds her...

Maan: pehle tum

Then Maan takes a bite...

Maan: now it's very sweet, just like my Mishti

Now Maan takes a piece and feeds Geet...

Geet comes near it to have a bite and Maan holds it back...

Geet tries to reach it...

Maan takes it back towards his lips...

They both have it together...

After that Maan tastes her lips...

Geet enjoys it as if she had expecting only this...

They get lost in one another...

After finishing the cake Geet is still hungry...

Maan collects some logs and lights a fire to keep them warm...

Geet: Maaan

Maan turns and looks at Geet...

She is standing there shivering...

Maan signals her to come and sit near the fire...

Geet comes and sits there...

Maan too comes and sits near her...

She rests her head on his shoulder...

They look at the stars together...

It'a a beautiful night...

Maan embraces Geet...

Geet: Maan

Maan: haan Geet

Geet: mujhe bhook lagi hai

Maan: kya?

 Geet: haan

Maan: tumne toh abhi abhi cake khaya haina?

Geet: par meinne subhe se kuch nahi khaya hai, mujhe bahut bhook lagthi hai

Maan: Geet, ek minute

They go and check the tent...

Geet finds some beer bottles ...

She gets angry...

Geet: Maan, ye kya hai?

Maan: hare, mujhe do

Geet: nahi

Maan: Geet, ye toh sirf beer hai

Geet: Maaan

Maan snatches it from her ...

Geet paresheen ho jaathi...

She tires to get them back...

But Maan throws them out...

Geet is surprised...

Maan: ye Adi bi na, usse toh aadat ho gayi hai ye sab tayaar karne ki, jab bhi mein yahan aatha Adi ye sab tayaar rakhtha, toh iss bar bhi usse laga ki mein akhele aaraha hoon

Geet: akhele aathe toh ye sab peethe?

Maan: Geet, bechare Adi ko kaise patha hoga ki ab mere zindag mein sirf aur sirf meri Geet ke liye jagah hai aur ye sab toh ab mujhe zaroorat nahi hai

Maan clears all the bottles...

Geet is happy now...Maan has totally changed...

Why not? He is not going to lose his Geet for that useless thing, haina?

They come out and sit near the fire again...

Maan gets her some snickers...

Maan: ye lo

Geet grabs them...

She finishes it within a minute...

Maan: aur kuch?

Geet: nahi

Maan: par Geet, mujhe toh ab bahut pyaaz lagthi hai

Geet gives him the water bottle...

Maan nods his head...

Maan: ye pyaaz nahi hai Geet...

Maan looks at her lips...fully loaded with honey...

"Peelon...tere neele neele aankhon ka sabnam...

peelon...tere gile gile hothon ka sargam...

Hai peene ka mosam..."

Isse toh Geet ko koi aaitraaz nahi hai...

They keep staring each other till the fire worns out...

As the fire resides they start feeling the cold wind...

Geet shivers and Maan lifts and takes her inside the tent...

Maan makes the bed for her...

Geet slips under her quilt and keeps talking with Maan...

She tells him about her UK days...

She had been waiting to share her stories with Maan...

Maan gladly listens to her bak bak...

He also was missing her bak bak...

Maan tells her how he struggled to quit drinking...

How he would listen to her recorded conversations with Sam...

How he felt bad whenever Geet broke down hearing about Maan's condition...

How he was determined to meet her only when he gave up drinking and became the Maan that Geet loved...that Maan who forgot his world when she was around...

Geet too told him how she spent sleeples nights thinking about Maan and that she made up her mind not to see Maan till she got back her Maan...that Maan whom she was madly in love with...that Maan whom she lost b'coz of her mistrust...that Maan whom she lost b'coz of her suspicions...she promised Maan that she will never ever repeat that mistake and Maan promises her that he will never think about anything else as long as Geet is with him...

They don't feel like they had been away from each other all these days even for a minute...

They have been together in their heart and soul thought they have been staying apart...

They have been living with each other in their mind and also knew what the other was doing and how they missed each other...

They keep chatting the whole night and fall asleep only at dawn...

That night Maneet make up for their long separation with their meaningless sweet conversations...
