Ranno: kaise batein karthi hai ye

Mohinder: issi dar hai humme bhi, ab tum bhi samajthi hai kihum police ke paas kyun nahi jaa sakthe
Geet: papaji aap bhi?
Darji: Geet, ab tum hummare baat ko suno, bas, koi aur baatnahi
Darji ends the conversation there itself...but Get couldn'tsleep peacefully that night...
She decides to take action herself...
Geet is against honour killing, she can't digest the factthat her close friend has been killed by a group of barbarians in the name ofsaving the sanity of their race. Geet turns aginst them and files a case withthe police but Darji is dead against hergoing to the police...he goes and takes by that complait filed by Get only toknow that it has already been put in thrash...some good soul at the policestation hints at the police joining hands with the culprits and asks him totell his pothi to stay safe for some days...they also talk about sanctionsagainst the whole family...he is too scared that the whole Handas will beousted from their society and the future of their chidren are at stake if theysupported Geet. But as you know our sherni won't give up and is all set tofight this alone.
Darji asks Mohinder to take Geet to Delhi and leave her withPinky's father...he is aGeet's chacha in a way...Pinky is a good friend ofGeet...
Theysend Geet to Delhi in fear of her being the next target after convincing her towithdraw her case and pack her off to Pinky's home with a warning of never toreturn to Hoshiarpur. They are already in search of a suitable match for her asthey want to get her married off to someone as soon as possible and send her offto her sasuraal from Delhi itself so that she would be safe in her new family,preferably far far away to save her from the madness of their own folks back inHoshiarppur.
Geet is determined to punish the culprits at any cost but is firstworried about her family's hasty decision to get her married.Geet somehowpersuades her father to get her admitted in a college and promises him that shewill not do anything against his will until she finishes her studies providedhe inturn promises to postpone her marriage till she completes her course. Geetjoins some MA degree to fool her father but actually takes up a law courselater, LLB, as she wants to fight injustice, specialy injuictice against women.Even Pinky doesn't know that she is a law student. Pinky is working as areceptionist at KC.
Geet is still thinking of what happened to her friend. Shethinks how they used to enjoy life back in Hoshiarpur with all their littlepranks. How nice it would have been if she can get back to those days. She haddreamt about her prince charm and also known about how channi would tease herthat there is no prince charming in real, it's still apuzzle how that samechanni fell for Gurwinder, who is not any dreamy prince but just a simple manwith a little social mind. They met him at a mass tree planting functionorganized by their nature club in and around hoshiarpur. After an introductionevery girl liked Gurwinder who was part of an eco club that joined hands withthem in that event, his knowledge about the eco system and the need to conservenative species of crops, his interests in bied watching all seemed to make himdifferent from the rest. Mostly his gentle man behavior with the girlsattracted channi and also the others too.
Geet doesn'tknow how channi who is very shy and reserved by nature could fall in love.After a lot of struggle she won Gurwinder's heart. The rest happened as you allknow and ended in the most tragic manner. Get who used to be day dreaming abouther Rajkumar and waiting for the right guy who she never met has now turnedinto this rebel as that tragedy ignited the fire inside her and she now knowsthe value of a life better, so she has decided not to waste her own life andmake it meaningful by fighting for justice. That's why she chose to do LLB asshe has decided to raise against this male dominated society as a woman andshow those men what Nari shakthi is. Her hatred turns towards the malecommunity as a whole.
Geet gets abreak before her classes commence and is bored. Geet wants to join a part timejob to pay the extra bills for her law class which she can't get from herfather. She is going to evening college only so she can work till noon.she keepslooking for vacancies and Pinky asks her to come and take a look at the placewhere she works and maybe she'll be interested to find a job there.
Pinkyintroduces Geet to Manisha, Pandey ji and Romeo. Later Pinky tells her aboutMrs.Mini who is the MD's secretary and how she rules the others like a dictatoras she is the senior. As Geet and Pinky decide to go to the canteen for a snackbreak Geet accidentally bumps into KC's MD. She apologises for her mistake asshe was observed in her conversation with Pinky. The MD seems to be nice gentleman and he reciprocates with a sweet smile as he moves in.
Pinky tells herthat her boss is a little flirty but otherwise a very decent guy. He is in hislate twenties and should have inherited the post from his family. Looks like awell groomed hunk from bollyood. He should rather try his hands in actingthough instead of wasting his time flirting in office, haina?
As Geet gets readyto leave as she didn't want to disturb Pinky's work she is stopped by Mrs.Mini.she tells Geet that the MD wants to meet her. Geet says thet she has nothing todo with KC and is just leaving, she has not caused any trouble to anyone. Butshe can't leave without meeting him.
Pinky insists Getgo and meet him once and say sorry for it might get her into trouble otherwise.So Get decides to meet this man for the sake of Pinky.

Pinky is happy that Get is going to work with her and Gettoo doesn't complaint as it's not such a big deal for her for she is just goingto follow Mrs.Mini and she should be fine, no problems as she is a quicklearner...she also knows how to handle these flirty bosses...haina? rememberGeet's shoulder bag full of weapons to escape unexpected danger...
Pinky: Geet, papaji would be happy to know that you also gota job in KC
