Part - 32
Geet and Maan arrive at the specific location..... Adi is waiting with everything ready... They wait for the jugges to call Geet...
Geet is clinging to Maan itself and is trying to focus.... Maan keeps telling her what the judges would ask her and how she should just tell the truth, whatever that she knows, nothing more...
Maan asks her not to get emotional at any point for it might hinder her concentration...
Geet listens to him carefully and is ready to face it....
Adi: Maan sir, the judges are here
Maan: ok Adi, let's do this, is everything ready
Adi: I've submitted them to the panel already sir, here's the copy for your reference
Maan: very good Adi, toh Geet you need not worry about anything now, just be calm and everything will be fine
Geet: hmm
Maan: Adi, you stay with Geet, I'll just go see what's going on
Geet looks at Maan.... Why is he leaving....
Maan: Geet, I can't accompany you in, you will be fine, you can do it, just remember that only you can see them and they can't see you, they won't even know when the process begins or ends, so don't ever panic
Geet: hmm
Maan leaves and Adi tries to cheer Geet telling her that this is such an important case and if not for Geet's brave heart this wouldn't be possible... Seeing the results of this case many out come out and start their fight against the evil... This is going to be a milestone judgement...
Geet is confident that this will be the start for others to follow...
Maan comes in a while.... He looks serious.....
Maan: Geet, this is it, they will come and take you be ready
Two women constables come and take Geet to the judges...
There Geet is alone giving her witness... They ask her name and other details... They ask her about the incident and how she got there at that time...
Geet tells them about Channi and how all that happened to them...
She does get a little bit emotional... But the judges give her time to compose herself and wait for her to further testify...
Then they ask about Gurvinder and ask her why he didn't complain immediately.... Is there any pressure on him to file this case?
Geet tells them how everyone at her village are afraid of the few self-made leaders who threaten the innocent people and their families in the name of religion, caste and other differences...
She tells them how even the police are afraid of them and are with them in their crimes... No one can commit such gruesome acts if they fear the law and order... There is literally nothing like that in her village and in many of the villages for that matter... She says she still doesn't have the faith in the police men and her only hope is the court...
Then they ask her if she can identify the murderers without any doubt...
She says she could with full confidence...
Geet waits for a while with those women officers when she is taken to another room....
There is a glass wall on one side from where she could see the culprits... The officer asks her to relax and take her own time...
They have covered their face except for their eyes just like they looked on that day...
Geet first takes a look at every single person carefully..... she knows the murderers and she points the two of them.... They ask her to do it again and she does it without any doubt...
They are convinced... she can go and her part is over.... Now it's upto Maan for his final arguments and then the judgement....
Geet comes out... Maan is waiting for her.... Maan is very happy to see her...
She just comes and hugs Maan... Maan tries to get back... This could turn against them... Like Maan has set her up as the fake witness...
Maan: Geet, yahan nahi
He warns her.... But she just needs his shoulders now....
Maan asks Adi to take her for lunch as he has some more work...
Geet goes with Adi but refuses to have lunch... She asks Adi to have lunch as she is not hungry...
After an hour or more Maan comes....
Geet is waiting in the car...
Maan: Geet, you were great today, now there is no escape for those two, the judges have accepted your witness and I think we should celebrate
Geet keeps mum...: Hmm
Maan: Geet, tum abhi tak naraaz ho?
Geet: nahi
Maan: phir aaise kyun behave kar rahi ho?
Geet: mujhe kya patha yahan kya Kya mana hai
Maan: chalo hum yahan se chalte hai
Maan calls Adi and tells him that he can go while he will take Geet along...
Maan starts driving....
Maan: toh tumne Lunch mein kya khaya? Lacha paratha aur tandoori chicken?
Geet: woh toh aap khaye honge
Maan: toh yahi baat hai, tum abhi tak bhooki beiti ho
Geet: aap ko chintha karne ki koi zaroorat nahi
Maan suddenly pulls the car over, comes to her side... opens her door and asks her to get out...
Geet is confused and a little scared also.... She comes out and Maan gives her a big hug.... Munna bhai's treatment... It always works....
Geet too hugs him back and she whispers in his ears.... Thanks a lot Maan sir, aap nahi hothe toh patha nahi mein kya Karthi
She is in tears.... Maan wipes off her tears....
Maan: nahi Geet, tum eothe hue achchi nahi lagthi, toh mera mood bhi karab ho jayega
Geet: kya? aap ab kaise mood mein hi?
Geet releases from his hold and steps back to stare him....
Maan pulls her back into the hug....
Maan: aaj mujhe koi nahi rokh saktha Geet, tum meri ho, Maan ki Geet
Geet doesn't know how to react.... She loses herself in that hug....
