Khurana mansion:
It was 11 pm and most of the family were asleep. Vicky was out for a dance show, and Maan and his current girlfriend, Anita. They were cozied up on the sofa watching a mushy movie. It was a sequel of The Ring, and she kept clutching him out of fear.
Maan had been seeing Anita for the past one month. She's been seen with him everywhere and he'd become quite fond of her. She was pretty, spoke well, his friends liked her and she shared quite a few interests with him, not to mention she was hot. She'd come to Delhi a couple of months ago from the USA and had started modeling. They'd met in a club, it was attraction at 1st sight.. They'd dated on n off. It was the 2nd time she'd come to Maan's house; the 1st they'd stayed watching a movie is such a comfortable environment.
Maan put his arm around her and pulled her close. She looked up at him and smiled. But her smile faded when she saw how close his face was. They had made out before, but there was always somebody around and not much privacy. She stared right back at him and soon he began kissing her. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him back. His hands started exploring her while she unbuttoned his shirt. They were about to go to the next level, when Anita's phone began ringing.
They groaned in unison while she answered it.
Anita: Hello?...Hi baby, how're you?
Caller'''
A: yeah I miss you too. It's been so long
C:''.
A: Howz everyone? Bet you're going crazy without me, huh.
Maan, did not wanna listen, but he coulddn't help himself. The familiarity with which she spoke to the caller had ignited his curiosity.
Anita: yeah, yeah'..I'm at a friend's house. We're watching a movie. '.Nope nothing mushy, come one. You doubting me (giggles)...it's a horror movie.
Maan : (friend?? Is that what she sees me as'.doubting her?? Sounds dubious. That doesn't sound like a girl on the other end.)
Anita: ok bye baby. Miss you. Muaah.
She turned to Maan' :''sorry it was an international call. My friend'.you know the time difference.''
Maan: Who was it?
Anita: Just Rob, this guy I was dating back home.
Maan: And'..?
Anita: And what, I left the states didn't I?
Maan: did you break up with him?
Anita: (laughs): oops I don't think I did'heheh'never mind'I'm not going back anytime soon. Till then I'm a free agent.
Those words didn't sit too well with Maan. Free agent. What was that supposed to mean? Did she consider what they had as anything serious. He wanted to clear it all with her, but his temper was rising and he did not want to be crude or aggressive when he spoke to her. He massaged his temples.
M:''Anita, where do you think we're headed?''
A: ''Sweety', in a soft seductive voice, 'I know where we were headed just a few minutes ago'.lets get back to that.''
'Anita, just answer my question.'
''Come one Maan, why this sudden change? Let's just have fun. it was just a phone call!!''
''Is this what it is? Fun? '..'' His temper was getting the better of him. He rubbed his forehead again and took a deep breath.
''You know what let's call it a night. I'll tell the driver to drop you home.''
''But'.''
''I'm tired and Daadi won't appreciate you staying here that long,'', he cut across her words.
He buttoned her shirt and led her out.
After she'd left, he came back to his room. It always ended like this. Was there anybody he could trust. Daadi always said there was somebody for him'but this was beyond him. There was always some trouble when it came to his love life. He had actually begun to care about Anita. But in a way he was glad that he'd found out about her ''friend'' before she became anything more. He punched his bed in frustration.

Handa haveli:
Geet entered and walked straight to Nani's room only to find it empty. She was agitated and upset. It was making her angry, but she didn't know why random words from a random guy were getting her so worked up.
Not worthy of respect was she? How dare he say that. Nobody had ever said that to her...ever.!! Her conscience was pricking her and she didn't know why!! The only thing she hadn't done was bunk practice one day. Why was that such a big deal?? That's how she always was...always had been? Hadn't she?
She ran downstairs to the main living area.
''Nanima, NANIMA'
"Beta, hum yahan hain...living room main aana.''
HUM???
She entered the room to see that her Nani wasn't alone.
''Hello Savitri Aunty. How're you doing? Itne dinoh baad?''
An lady sat opposite her grandma. She looked elegant and was somebody who had aged well. Geet walked up to her and gave her a hug and a kiss.
''Hi, beta. I'm fine. Howz life going for you? ''
" Fine aunty. College chal rahah hain''
''Good.''
She turned to Nanima ..."Nanima, main baad main aati hoon. ''
''See you Savitri Aunty. Bye.''
''Bye Beta, take care.''
She returned to her room. She had no clue who to talk to and her irritation was building. Why o why did Savitri aunty have to come at the wrong time. It was not as though she disliked her, but her timing sure was bad.
''Ab main kis se baat karoon?''
She called up Mayank.
''Bol''
''Kya boloon?'
''Geet, phone kyun kiya hain?''
''Kyun main ainvayi phone nahi kar sakti?''
''errrm...tu kabhi karti to nahi hain''
''Yar aise hi baat nahi kar sakta kya?''
''Kar toh sakta tha agar mujhe compeering ka kaam nahi hota...chal time waste mat kar..bol problem kya hain??''
''Kisne kahan problem hain?''
''dekh, zyada paka mat...problme bol varna main hang up kar raha hoon''
''Ok ok...er...umm...er..er..''
''abbe aage bhi toh kuch bol''
''Do you respect me?'', she blurted out?
''Huh...???''
''Mayank?''
''Yeh kaisa Question hua be?''
''Tu batayega?''
''Err...of course karta hoon...I love you maan...your my best friend.''
" is that why you respect me? Cuz I'm your best friend?''
''Aur kya reason ho sakt hain?...waise tu yeh poonch kyun rahi hain?''
''Err...kuch nahi? I've gotta go. C u tomo.''
''Hello...geet--?''
Even after talking to Mayank she felt no comfort. No respect...Nik's words kept pervading her thoughts. WH was she so affected by his comment. He was almost a stranger to her...she barely knew him. Still, in the short period that Nik had been in collge, he had gained a lot of respect. People looked up to him. He might n ot be as popular as she n her friends were, but he had created a spacxce for himself.
Students looked up to him. Even though he was knew and a senior, he valued the junior's comments. He never bullied anybody and was always jovial. He had somehow managed to win Sid and Mayank over too...but his happy-go-lucky nature got under her nerves. Why? Why was she so annoyed with him? Why couldn't she give him a break when even Sid and Mayank were ok with him?
She punched her pillow n tried to get some sleep.
Next Day:
Geet walked in to practice only to see the principal supervising the proceedings.
"Aaah Geet, how're you feeling now? '', said Dr. Mehra
She looked blankly at him.
''Nikhil had said that you weren't well and so you had gone home. I had come to supervise your dance yesterday''.
''Err...yes Sir...'', she was confused. Nikhil had lied for her when he could have easily told the principal the truth. What was going on? She was actually feeling guilty.
''Take care child, the dance is the highlight of the show. We can't have the star performers too stressed.'' He left the rehearsal hall.
Geet looked at NIk...he didn't look too happy, but he didn't snitch to the principal either. He did however refuse to talk to her. He was giving her the silent treatment.
Sid and Raina had just entered. They were arguing about something, as usual. Sid came over and hugged Geet and then moved to play the music to start practice.
Geet had nothing to do...Nik was going over some backdrop details with a junior and Sid n Raina were practising. She walked over to Nik...and hovered around him. He knew she was waiting for him to say something, but he ignored her. He wasn't going to say anything to her until she said she wanted to practice.
Geet on the other hand was feeling guiltier by the minute. Nik hadn't sold her out to the principal but had lied to her. She was sure he hated lying. She wanted to practise ' to be good but broaching the topic was easier said than done. She wanted to talk to him but she wasn't able to get the right words. The junior went off on his work. She moved towards him and gathered courage and spoke.
''Nik, why did you lie to the principal for me?''
He answered without looking at her, ''would you rather I tell him the truth?''
''Err no...just wondering why?''
He didn't answer but continued looking through some picture samples
''hey...hello, I'm talking to you.''
Silence
''Nik., itna bhau mat kha ok...''
Silence again
''What's your problem man? What do you want me to say? I'll say it.''
''Did I say I wanted you to say something?''
" Fine!! Be silent. It's not like I care!'' She walked off through the door and stood out in the sunlight. This behaviour of his was irritating her to the core. Finally she stalked back in angrily.
''Look I came back to practise. Are we going to do that or not?''
Nik smiled inwardly and finally looked at her with a straight face.
precap: Geet? Working hard?
