Maan and Geet take everyone's blessings and leave the house. Geet is emotional yet when she sees Maan with her, her smile returns and she is content. They both sit in the car and Geet says, 'Ab ghar.' Maan replies, 'Ghar?' Geet looks at him curiously and says, 'Jee ghar. Aur kaha?' Maan innocently asks, 'Tumhe ghar jaana hai?' Geet smiles and says, 'Aap saath hai toh main zindagi bhar ghoomti rahoun lekin aapko kaam hoga na?' He shakes his head and says, 'Geet, maine kaam se issi liye ek hafta 'chutti' lee hai. Aur abhi tak ghar lautne ka time nahi hai. Tumhe ek aur jagah dikhani hai.' She smiles and says, 'Aap raasta dihkaiye Maan, main kahin bhi chal doungi.' He smiles and holds her hand as they drive off.
Viren and Jai are talking. Jai says, 'Viren, case simple toh hai lekin loopholes kaafi hai. Nakli pandit jise mein trace nahi kar pa raha. Sivaye family ke kissi aur ne Dev aur Geet ki shaadi nahi dekhi. Land ke deal par Geet ki hi sign hai. Yeh sab ko cross karna mera kaam hai. Naintara ko toh Brij ka hi case kaafi bhaari parega. Pehli saza ek khooni ko rishvat dekar riha karvane ki aur doosri Geet par attempt to murder. Jaha tak Dev ki baat hai, saza bhari hai lekin main janta houn ke unka lawyer, Ram Mehra case jeetne ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta. Phir bhale woh jhoot bolkar ya Geet ke charitra ke upar ungli uthakar kare.' Viren says, 'Aisi situation nahi aani chahiye, Jai bhaiyya. Geet ke kehne par bhai usse court toh le ja rahe hai lekin waha par aisi waisi baat hui toh bohot bura hoga. Kya main aapko iss case par assist kar sakta houn.' Jai smiles and says, 'Of course, Viren. Tumhara pehla case tumhare bhai ke khilaaf hai, iss baat ka mujhe dukh hai lekin mujhe pata hai ke tum datt ke larhoge kyunki tum jante ho ke yaha galat hua hai.' They shake each others hand and start working on the case together.
Geet sits up straight once flight lands and says, 'Maan, yeh kaisa naam hai? Bagdogra? Koi don ka thikana lagta hai.' Maan rolls his eyes and says, 'Yeh hamari manzil nahi hai, Geet. Ab drive bhi baaki hai.' Geet replies, 'Hay babaji, ab drive bhi. Maan, mere pyaare Maan. Main pregnant houn! Mujhe kitna ghoomayenge?' He smiles and says, 'Jab pohochogi toh sab theek lagega.' She goes to sleep during the drive and wakes up once she realises the car has stopped. She looks around and is stumped by the sheer beauty of where they are standing. There is a cottage in view and they are in the middle of the hills. Maan is standing with his eyes closed when Geet comes up from behind and hugs him. He says, 'Mera Darjeeling wala ghar jo ab hum dono ka hai. Maine kaha tha na, Geet. Jab yaha aaogi toh sab thakaan door ho jayegi.' He turns around to face her. She looks up in to his eyes and runs her hands through his hair. She says, 'Yaha par koi nahi hai.' He runs his fingers across her lips and says, 'Koi nahi, Geet. Sirf main aur tum aur mera yeh yaadon se bhara hua ghar.' They both smile at each other and enter the house.
She comes inside and he follows her in. She is trying to open her suitcase but cannot focus on anything with the way Maan is looking at her. He unbuttons his shirt and is wearing a black vest and jeans. He comes up from her side and goes behind her and holds on to her hand to help her. Her breathing goes faster as he kisses her neck. She turns around and says, 'Main shower le loun, Maan.' She is about to go when he holds her hand and pulls her back to himself. She says, 'Maan, main'' Maan says, 'Geet, tum darr rahi ho?' He unties the robe she has put on. She leans on him and says, 'Nahi toh.' Maan smiles and says, 'Toh phir bhaag kyun rahi ho?' She wants to say something but before she can he removes her robe. She turns around quickly to face him. He smiles mischieviously and kisses her. He says, 'Tum mujhse door nahi ja sakti, Geet. Na aaj na kal.' He starts leading her to the bathroom and stand under the shower with her. Geet says, 'Aapko akele nahane mein darr lagta hai na, Maan? Iss liye mujhe saath laaye hai.' He starts the shower without a warning and she jumps towards him as he takes her in his arms. Maan laughs and says, 'Ab kaho, Geet. Main darta houn?' She kisses him as he caresses her back and sets her skin on fire with her need to be with him.
Maan has his head in Geet's lap as she gently pats his forehead. She is wearing his shirt and he smiles playing with the buttons. She smiles and says, 'Aaj hum dono woh jagahein dekhi jaha par se humne zindagi ki shuruat ki.' He replies, 'Yahi maine socha tha, Geet. Main chahta houn ke meri zindagi ki har acchi aur zaroori yaad se tum jud jao. Main jaha bhi jaoun, tumhe waha paoun.' Geet kisses his forehead and says, 'Yeh toh accha hai, Maan lekin aap waise bhi jayenge mujhe waha payenge. Main aasani se peecha chodne walon mein se nahi houn.' They laugh and kiss again. She says, 'Hum dono ko iss tarah akele chod de toh kuch aur nahi hoga, Maan.' Maan brings her head down and says, 'Tumhare ilawa mujhe waise bhi kisi cheez mein interest nahi hai, Geet. Main sab kuch chodkar bas tumhara khayal rakhne mein nikaal doun tab bhi kam hoga.' She removes her hand from his forehead and he sits up straight. She looks straight ahead and then walks to the window and sits near the ledge.
Maan comes next to her and is worried about her reaction. He says, 'Kya hua, Geet? Ab toh tum khush thi toh ab naraaz kaise?' She turns to him and holds his vest, 'Maan, aap aisi baatein kyun karte hai jo mujhe takleef deti hain?' Maan is taken aback and says, 'Geet, main toh koshish karta houn ke aisa na ho.' Geet says, 'Phir aap ki baaton se kyun aisa lagta hai ke aap Dev ki ki hui galati ka bhaar uthaye baithe hai?' He shakes his head and is about to speak when she places her hand on his lips and says, 'Kuch mat kahiye, Maan. Maine aap ki koi bhi yaad se Dev ko nahi joda. Mere liye aap Maan hai, sirf Maan. Yeh kismet ka khel hai ke aap uske bhai lekin uske ilawa aap dono ko mein koi ek baat bhi samaan nahi hai. Woh dharti toh aap aasman, woh ek kaali daroni raat toh aap khushi ka sandes lata hua savera. Aap job hi kar rahe hai woh hamare pyaar aur hamare rishte ke liye keejiye lekin Dev ke diye hue ghamon ka hisaab karne ke liye nahi. Aur agar aisa hai toh'' She turns away with tearful eyes.
He wipes her tears and says, 'Tum ne mujhe galat samjha, Geet. Tum ne?' She looks at him questioningly when he says, 'Main koi hisaab nahi chukka raha houn na hi iss baat ka bhaar uthaye baitha houn ke Dev mera bhai hai. Main sirf tumhe khush dekhna chahta houn. Agar yeh baat kissi aur ne bhi ki hoti na tab bhi mein issi tarah tumhe khush rakhne ki koshish karta.' Geet's eyes are glistening with tears as she says, 'Par main bohot khush houn, Maan.' He says, 'Tum khush nahi, Geet bas bohot zyada acchi ho. Taqdeer ke yeh khel ko sweekar kar liya tumne lekin maine nahi kiya. Meri Geet ke dil par ghaav hai, meri Geet ke. Main tumhare dil se, tumhare wajood se woh gham mita dena chahta houn aur itni khushiyan dena chahta houn ke phir koi gham tum tak aaya bhi toh tumhara hausla dekhkar palat jayega.' He wipes away her tears and she is about to say sorry when he presses her lips together, 'Sorry kaha toh tumhe woh gusse wala MK dikhayi dega aur tumne Babaji se kaha hai ke tum unhe nahi dekhna chahti.' He takes his hand back and looks at her with intense eyes full of love and passion. She caresses his face and goes closer to him as he holds her back.
