Part- 9
Being a law student Get comes to know about the need for evidence and also motives behind any crime and also the circumstances that lead to the incident do count in the judgements...
After coming to Delhi also Geet tried to persuade channi's parents to file a complaint but they don't want any trouble for their younger daughter who is alive and has a life ahead, they are mad at channi for not thinking about her young sister and being so selfish. They don't realize the fact that channi did worry about her family but was equally worried about the life of her love. She was ready to sacrifice her life or even her love but was not ready to sacrifice someone's life for her selfishness that too the life of her own Gurwinder.
Geet thinks about other options for it's no use relying on poor channi's parents as they are living in the villain's Den, Hoshiarpur. Her family is not in a position to help her for they don't want to risk their beloved daughter's life for someone who is no more. What's the use in Geet getting into unwanted troubles for Channi who has left this world and there is no significance in getting justice for a dead person. It's not going to make much of a difference but you have to move on and think about the safety of the ones that are still alive. But Geet is not fighting for justice for channi, she just wants that there is no more channis in future and her village is also civilized and the men back at Hoshiarpur realize the values of every life andtreat their women folk with respect and dignity.
Geet keeps her mother updated about her new found friend and guide in dadi.
She is also happy that her daughter is safe and in good hands.
At her college she inquires her peers and starts searching for a lawyer who can handle her case and help her to proceed without her parents and others back at Hoshiapur not being alerted. She has to find someone very experienced and not like some amateur like Adi.
She finds one Mr.Khanna who is a leading criminal lawyer and is supposed to be formidable when it comes to his battle field, the courtroom.
She then contacts his juniors and they ask her to come with more details and preferably with some more strong proofs against the culprits.It seems very vague with her sole complaint being withdrawn as a mistaken fraudulant made up story by an immature not so reliable over sensitive girl.
Her representation is not enough and they want some one more powerful like Channi's relative to get involved for that would be more appropriate.
Geet couldn't think of any of Channi's family members being a support and Channi's little sister is too small to be involved even though she is the one who is with Geet in getting the muderers punished.
Geet is a witness but her hasty complaint and the sudden withdrawal by her own family stating that she is not mentally stable and is emotionally disturbed and vulnerable comes as a hurdle.
She is worried that the juniors are not interested and they don't take her seriously. She decides that she should meet Mr.Khanna herself somehow and get his help.
She can't easily get his appointment for he is very busy and is surrounded by juniors who don't let her meet him anyhow.
She went to his office a couple of times and waited there without much use for she is considered a useless nuisance for she can't even pay the fees of one appearance and she is looking for free service.
Money is a big deal for Geet now but she is confident that she can take a loan from KC if necessary. And there is Dadi to help her.
But Geet wants to keep this away from dadi and thinks that it's her own problem.
But Dadi has a hunch that something is bothering Geet...she thinks that it may be some family problem which Geet wants to keep it to herself...that's Ok, Dadi respects her for that...
It's a weekend and Geet is in holiday mood...she wants to explore more of Delhi with Pinky...
Pinky has promised to take her around this weekend...Pinky is fond of the street food and she always roams and knows all the specialities of every nook and corner...
As the duo get ready Get gets a call from KM, it's Dadi,dadi wants to see her at once...
Geet is little disappointed to miss out her outing but couldn't say no to dadi who is confined to the four walls of KM...
Geet tells Pinky that she has to go to KM as dadi has called her,Pinky decides to dedicate her weekend to sleep...
Dadi is happy that Geet came despite being a weekend...
Dadi: welcome Geet, sorry to bother you on a holiday
Geet: no problem dadi, BTW I'm home to see my dadi, isn't itgreat
Dadi: you are so sweet Geet, so what's the plan?
Geet is puzzled...plan? what plan? Dadi should have something in mind, haina?
Geet: what should I do Dadi? Shall I bring the lap top?
Geet thought that it's some office matter...
Dadi: oh no Geet, remember you are not working, you are at home
Geet: then what shall we do? shall we play a game?
Dadi: what game?
Geet: anything, a card game or chess
Dadi: ohh it's all boring, you know I'm fed up with this, I feel like I'm tied up with this stupid chair, like a caged bird
Geet can understand Dadi's plight...what shall they do then?
Geet has got an idea, Geet decides to go ahead with her Delhi Dekho plans along with Dadi...
But what about Dadi? Will she like it? Or should Geet staying in her limits?
Geet: Dadi, shall we go out for a while?
Dadi: where Geet? to the garden?
Geet: no Dadi, I'm new to Delhi and haven't even seen the India gate and jantar mantar
Dadi: sounds good for me, Ok, I'll make the arrangements
Geet: I'll call the driver
Dadi: but he is on leave, kash I could dirve
Geet: we can hire a taxi
Dadi: not necessary, I've got a personnel driver, you just wait
Dadi calls someone...: ohh I'm feeling uncomfortable,please do something, the driver is also not here, babaji, there's no one to help this old lady, why did you make me like this?
Geet is shocked to see dadi's act...Geet looks at her clueless...she is little worried too...
Dadi winks...: Geet, don't worry, I'm fine
Within a couple of minutes there comes her chauffer...none other than MSK...
Maan is surprised to see Geet...so that's the problem...
Maan turns to her...: what did you do?
Geet: what?
Maan: I mean, dadi was fine this morning when I saw her, and now she is not feeling good
Geet: what does that mean?
Maan: I mean, what are you doing here?
Geet: I came to meet Dadi
Maan stares her as she approaches Dadi...: dadiii
Dadi: Maan, hope I didn't disturb you
Maan: come on Dadi, what happened?
Dadi: it's suffocating in here beta, I just need some fresh air
Maan looks at Geet...so she has put all this non sesnse into Dadi's head...
Geet: she's been locked here all day like a prisoner, haina Dadi?
Dadi: haan beta
Dadi hones her acting skills...
Maan: but Dadi, doctor's advice is to get you more rest
Dadi: I don't need any rest
Maan: Dadi, don't listen to stupid people, you know what's good for you, haina?
Dadi: but who cares about my wishes now, I'm now expected to spend the rest of my life in a corner
Maan doesn't like dadi complaining in front of an outsider...
Maan: Ok let's first call the doctor and ask him what can be done
Dadi: I don't need any doctor, I know myself better, I'm not sick, only you people make me sick
Maan: but Dadi
Geet is angry that Maan is trying to thrust his views on Dadi...not letting her go out...that's not fair...she is free to go anywhere she wants...after all she is the head of the family...
Geet: no body even cares what she would be doing sitting idle watching that window all the time
Dadi: I haven't even seen the Sun rise for days
Ohh well dadima, this is too much, as if she woke to see the Sun rise all her life...
Geet: don't worry dadi, we'll go, we don't need anyone's suggestion or permission
Maan: ohh well, that's what you can expect from her dadi, this stupid girl is trying to create trouble
Geet: what? dadi,look who's the trouble maker
Maan: will you please shut your mouth for a minute,I want to talk to my dadi
Dadi has to stop this never ending banter or these two will keep going all day...and what about dadi's plans then?
Dadi: oh Maan, please stop, I don't want to bother you, I'm Ok with this
Dadi turns the chair back and moves to her bed...
Geet: happy? So you think you won? Can't see someone happy,hm, how can I expect that from someone who doesn't even know how to smile?
Geet goes towards Dadi...
Maan catches hold of her hand and stops her...
Maan: oh no, you just stay away, dadi
Maan tries to manofy Dadi...
Maan: you just take care of your health, we can go to Switzerland for this summer
Dadi: no Maan, how could I?
Maan: you can, and now get ready for a ride
Dadi almost jumps in joy...: Geet, let's go
Geet is not sure if she should join them or not... She doesn't react much...
Maan stares Geet...: Geet?
Dadi: you always need a good company beta, you know, it's fun to have someone along
Dadi is sending an indirect message...
Geet: no Dadi, I have to go
Dadi: what? then I'm not going too
Maan: don't you have any respect? Just put that attitude aside and come with her, right?
It's MSK's order...Geet had to go...
Maan: Dadi is behaving like that stupid Geet nowadays, it's better for me to stay away from that stupid or I'll also turn mad soon
Geet keeps staring him as she happens to hear his words...
Maan helps dadi get into the car while Geet opens the door for her...
Dadi: Maan where are we going?
Maan: why are you asking me?
Maan looks at Geet as if it was all her idea...
Dadi: ok Geet, Maan is inexperienced, you tell me, you want to see the India Gate, haina?
Ok then, Maan was 100% right...Maan turns to Geet and smirks...so it was you...
Geet didn't expect it from dadi...so they have made him a tourist guide at last...
Don't worry Maan...this is not going to end here...it's just the beginning...be ready to juggle your roles as the game starts now for you...
