Part 7
"Savitri Devi, I don't know how to tell this, I can't find words to describe my apology to you. Here is my turban, my reputation (Izzat), I don't deserve this anymore. Geet doesn't exist for me. She has left us, she ran away. I made a big mistake by not killing her at her birth. Today I didn't have to confront this situation if I would have killed her." Mohanji says.
Savitri Devi freaked out. She looked horrified. Dev looked like he didn't care. Maan looked angry but he didn't want to jump into conversation.
"Mohanji, what would I tell to the guests, I can't let this happen to my Dev, Geet has broken our trust, it is good that she ran away because I don't want such kind of a daughter in law in my family who doesn't understand family reputation. I didn't do anything wrong, so you tell the guests what Geet did to us."Savitri Devi says.
After some thought Savitri Devi asked to Mohanji "Is there any way we can still find her?"
"Brij is already gone to find her, there is no call yet, hence I am afraid that she could be gone far enough or she is hidden somewhere so that we can't find her."Mohanji says.
Mohanji went outside the room to inform to the guests about Geet.
"From today Handa family has only two sons, Geet is dead for us. Don't ask about her. She ran away and she brought shame to my family and Khurana family." Mohanji says.
Everybody was shocked to hear that. Their eyes were wide open. They couldn't move at all. They were frozen by hearing this. How is that possible? How Handa family daughter could do this? The same question each eye has.
People were consoling Handa and Khuranas. Within short amount of time, the house of marriage became house of dead. Geet's mom hasn't recovered yet, she was still crying. She was worried about Geet.
Savitri Devi, Dev and Maan left. On the very next day, Maan has joined his Delhi office. Dev was again busy with his extravagant life.
Handa family got back to their routine life and they have thrown each single Geet's belongings out of the house. They didn't keep her one picture. Geet is out of Handa's life forever.
New Beginning:
From today, Geet is only known as Geet not Geet Handa.
Geet reached to Delhi.
"Are you Geet?" Shasha says.
"Yes I am Geet."Geet says.
"You look as pretty as you do in your picture". Shasha says.
Geet figured out from Shasha's smile that she might not know the entire truth about her that she ran away from the house. Geet was in no mood to explain everything right now. Geet was tired from the travel.
When Geet reached to Shasha's house, she met Pinkey, Shasha's roommate. Shasha helped Geet to arrange her stuff and showed her bed and everything. She made tea for Geet and Pinkey.
Geet was feeling better with Shasha and Pinkey but now she has to figure out her life. She can't depend upon anyone for long. She has to fight her own battle. First step for this battle is to find a job. Geet knows that it is really hard for her to find a job considering she didn't have college education.
She is ready to do any job as long as she can be independent. After having dinner, everybody went to bed. Geet couldn't sleep though. She was thinking about what she did.
"Babaji, I am not sure what I have done is right or wrong, but now as it is already done, I want to move ahead with my life. Please show me the way."Geet says.
Geet was little afraid to live in a new city with some strangers. She doesn't have any choice rather than accepting this.
Geet has decided to start looking for a job.
In the morning, Shasha and Pinkey were ready to go to their respective office. Pinkey works at Khurana construction and Shasha works for Asian paints.
Shasha and Pinkey both have tried to talk to their boss about job for Geet. Khurana construction do not hire anyone without a college degree hence Geet has no chances there.
Shahsa is a manager at Asian paints and her boss, Jay trusts her for her suggestions. Geet could have chances to get a job at Asian paints.
Shasha scheduled an interview for Geet at Asian Paints for secretary position. Geet has started preparing for an interview as she doesn't want to lose this job.
Next day, Geet is ready with her pink Punjabi suite, pink flowery dupatta and red bindi. She was holding file in one hand.
Geet was walking towards the interview room. Jay, Shasha and Sameer were already there to conduct her interview.
Geet was sweating in the air conditioned room, her hands and legs were shivering.
She was trying to rub her face with her handkerchief.
Interview was started and she even couldn't answer her first two questions as she was so nervous.
