Sydney, Australia
Sunny was very happy as geet finally agreed to help him. He called his girl friend Vinati to inform her that he had made all arrangements for her cousin brother. He told her everything ...he thought she would be happy...but
Vinati: sunny……..be careful……my brother wants everything to be perfect……..i hope u will clear everything for him……especially the rules…..he doesnot like such kind of complications…so better u talk with your friend geet first……
don't irritate me by calling repeatedly…when everything is cleared finally inform me……ok...
Said these words vinati cut the call….leaving sunny in a critical situation…..
Sunny: what to do now……geet will not allow if rules are not followed……vinu's bro is not at all willing to follow any rules……omg ……..it will be very difficult to manage geet…..but somewhat easier when compared to managing vinu…….
Sunny again turned back his car to reach geet's flat to convince her again……..
Geet and ambika were busy in packing……geet was dull as ambika was leaving…..ambika was silently observing geet…
Ambika: geet……plz at least smile for my sake…..i can't leave if u r like this….
Geet couldn't control her tears as her only friend is leaving her forever….
Geet: all these days …..u were there for me……..but tomorrow onwards…I will be left all alone
Ambika: geet……why are u thinking like that…..when I came to Sydney 3 yrs back….i was not knowing anyone here…then destiny made us friends……..
Geet…..now u should leave all ur past behind….and should start a new life…….its my wish geet…..
Geet doesnot want to disaapoint ambika by arguing with her…so she remained silent…….
Ambika and geet finally reached airport after packing………
Ambika hugged geet for the last time…with tears in eyes…….
Ambika: geet…take care dear……….
Geet: hmmm…….call me after reaching india…..if not I will kill u……
Ambika smiled and moved towards security check waving final good-bye to geet……..

Next day
Maan reached Mumbai…..
Maan (monologue): yaha tak toh agaya……..ab aage kya hoga……..babaji……..mere saath rehna……..mujhe rah dikhao………….
Said these words maan opened his eyes……….a 60 yr old lady was struggling with her luggage……to get down from the train…………….maan approached her to help …
Maan: laayiye…mein aapki madath kartha hu………
Old lady: koi zaroorath nahi……..pehle madath karthe hey…phir madath maangthe hey…..mein apna kaam khudh karunga…jaao…jaao…apna kaam kar………
Maan got angry with her words…..and got down the train giving her an angry glare………
Suddenly a thief took her bag and ran away……..that old lady screamed "my bag"
Maan turned back hearing the scream of old lady….but he decided not to help because of her behavior….
Old lady saw maan and came near him…..
Oldlady: beta…beta …ruk beta ……koi chor ne mere bag lekhe baagh gaya…………..mere madath karo beta….
Maan wanted to show some attitude to her…but he thought about his daadi…..and finally decided to help her…………maan gave his bag to her and ran after thief……………as he was an athlete he was successful in catching the thief and brought her bag back…..
Oldlady : beta…mujhe maaf karo...tumhare dil bada hey beta…bhagwaan tumhe apni zindagi mein saare khushiya dega……aaj shayad bhagwaan tumhe mere liye hi beja hoga……..
She thanked maan by folding her hands…..
Maan: aisa math kijiye..aap bade hey…..aayiye mein aapko taxi tak pahuncha detha hu…….
Oldlady: teek hey beta…….
Said these words oldlady started to leave…but suddenly she felt severe pain in chest and collapsed.
Maan got shock of his life……..
Maan: daadi ji……daadiji……..
She was not at all responding………maan was in a critical situation…..first of all he doesnot know anything about Mumbai….and above all that this incident happened…not knowing what to do…..maan took her head in his lap…..and sprinkled water...shouted for help……….
With the help of others maan took her to the nearby railway hospital…….
To inform this to her family members…maan searched her bag……he found a small address book with the details like….
Mrs. Rukmani Sharma
C/oMr. Avinash
Maan went to nearby STD booth and dialed the number of avinash……….
