The TV Remote slipped out of Geet's hands as she stared at the TV screen.
A picture which was hanging up on the wall somewhere nearby, fell to the ground and shattered to pieces.
Nakul, who was standing behind Geet with a small bowl of fruit, fell from his hands and hit the ground violently, causing the plate to shatter to pieces.
The gifts in Arjun and Meera's hands who were standing at the door, slipped from there hands.
Meera gasped and put a hand on her chest.
A knot formed in Arjun's throat.
This couldn't be happening.
No.
Sobs.
The sobs echoed around the house as Geet shook her head and cried her eyes out. Geet suddenly stopped her cying to hear what the News Reporter was saying.
Reporter: "It has been confirmed that Maan Singh Khurana, the most successful businessman has died in a severe plane accident. His body has not yet been found, police are investigating. The plane was supposed to be headed towards Delhi but during the journey, the engines failed. 102 people are injured and 30 have died, one of those 30 people are Maan Singh Khurana. May he rest in peace"
Geet: "NO!!!" she yelled and threw the TV Remote at the TV.
Geet: "No" she said and cried, and cried.
Meera and Arjun just stood there at the door in shock. They quickly moved their way towards Geet and sat beside her, the gifts lay abandoned at the doorstep.
Arjun put his hand on her shoulder and engulfed her in a friendly hug. He could not bare to see his best friend like this.
A tear escaped Meera's eye. Arjun had found out from Mrs Malik that Geet was pregnant. Meera and Arjun decided to pay Geet a visit with gifts but instead...
Arjun: "Stupid Media people. How disgusting can they get? Spreading rumours like this?" he said and hugged Geet tighter, even though he had a feeling this was true.
Geet: "It's real. No rumours. It's real. He's dead and my baby has no father and I have no husband. I'm a widow" her voice came out as muffles as she hid her face in Arjun's chest.
Meera: "No your not. It's all lies. I'm going to go and teach those Media People a lesson" she said through gritted teeth. She badly wanted this to be lies, although she had a bad feeling in her heart that it was true.
Geet: "This can't be happening" she said through tears
Arjun's phone vibrated in his pocket. He sighed knowing there was another serious patient and he had to come right over and do surgery. He broke the hug and picked up the phone.
Arjun: "WHAT? You found Maan? Is he alive? Is he okay? What do you want me to do?" he said in one breath
After a lot of OK's and Hmm's and Aah's he hung up the phone. He looked happy.
Arjun: "Guess what Geet! Maan is alive! I'm going over to check what's wrong with him. But..." he said and trailed off, suddenly very upset
Geet: "But what?!" she said and grabbed Arjun's collar
Arjun: "I think he's.... Paralysed"
The word 'Paralysed' literally paralysed Geet herself. He was Paralysed... Which meant he cant walk, he can't move. He might not even be able to speak!
Geet let go of Arjun's collar and looked down at her lap. Silence engulfed the three of them.
Meera: "Well... Well it's still better than..." she said and trailed off, trying to reassure her.
Arjun: "Meera, take care of Geet" he said in a low voice and left.
