Geet woke up yelling "Maan.." She looked around the room and found Suraj packing bags...She quickly got up and snatched her clothes from Suraj's hand...
What are you doing?
Suraj: Packing..we are leaving tonight...
Geet: I am not going
Suraj: Yes you are. I spoke with your dad and he will be receiving us from the airport once we reach Delhi
Geet: I said I am not going (she yelled and threw all her clothes on the floor)
Suraj: Look at yourself Geet! Maan has made you crazy...for the past two years I have been patience with you hoping that one day maybe we would find him but now seeing you like this, I lost all the hope
Geet (with tears): You maybe lost hope but i haven't. I know what I saw
Suraj: Our flight is in one hour. Go get ready
Geet: I am not going. You hear me! If you want to go you can go. I don't care
Suraj: Why are you behaving like a little baby...There is nothing here and anyway I have talked with Yash he will inform us if any lead comes up. Until then, we are going back to Delhi
Geet: I don't need yours or anyone's help. I will find him myself. He is here somewhere. I know it (she turns around and walks toward the bathroom...she takes out her clothes and draws herself a hot bubble bath. Suraj knocks on the bathroom door asking for her to come out..Geet totally ignores him. She closes her eyes thinking about Maan with a smile. She looks at her hand that touched his face..)
"I know you are real Maan. If you are going to play hide and seek..then so be it...I will find out...I know what I felt and saw..neither you or Suraj can change that fact. I will keep looking for you until my last breath." She closes her eyes and drowns herself with the memories of Maan.
Suraj sits on the chair fursturated with Geet. He runs his hand through his hair. He dozes off thinking about all the past events that happened ever since both reached Goa. He gets up from his sleep when he heard a door shut. He quickly gets up and looks around the room. He goes to the bathroom door, quietly knocking on it, after getting no response from inside; he turns the doorknob and was shocked to see the bathroom empty. He comes back outside looks aroung the room, all of Geet's clothes were gone. He runs to the reception area.
Suraj: Where is the woman that came with me? Geet?
Receptionist: Sir you just missed her...she left a note for you
Suraj (sits in the main lobby's chair and reads the letter):
Dear Suraj;
I want to thank you for all the help and support you gave me these past two years. You were there for me even when I had no one else. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to repay you with the kidness you had shown me in the past. It hurts for me to leave you like this but I have no other option. I guess this is where our friendship ends. Please, don't look for me. Hopefully, I will see you again when I find Maan.
Could you do one more favor for me? Could you tell my dad I am sorry.
Sorry for all the pain and hurt I have caused him. I was never the daughter he wanted but I want him to know he was, is, and always will be the best dad I could ever have.
Take Care,
Geet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet sits on the beach looking at the ocean ahead of her. She has been sitting there the whole day thinking/contemplating on what to do next. Everyone left one by one, families, couples, kids, all left leaving her alone for herself. She felt herself going back to the same place when she ran away from home with the only one difference. At that time she didn't know where she was headed, with no goals or destination. Today, she knows her goal and her destination: Maan. She looks up at the sky, watching millions of stars scattered all through the sky. She knew that her Babaji would show her hope, a way that will lead her to her destination. She never felt so alone like she did today. There was no one with her today, no one who would put a hand on her shoulder; to guide her. She missed her dad so much and wished that he could support her today like he always did before. She remembered the time after she broke up with her marriage with Suraj. He wouldn't even talk or look at her. Told her that she made a big mistake rejecting Suraj for Maan. Why couldn't he understand her feelings? He used to tell if she is happy or sad by just looking at her then what changed? She wanted to be in her dad's arms right now and cry her heart out. There were so many emotions going inside her right now that she could no longer contain.
She wanted to pour out her feelings, her emotions everything to her dad. One by one everyone changed and left her. Maan changed but decided to leave her for her own benifit, she laughed, what he doesn't know that her happiness lies with him only. Oh how she wanted to slap him this time for leaving her thinking she will be happy without him. If only he could've understood her emotions as well, if only. She knew that she wouldn't give up. She came way to far to give up right now. She gave up everything for the happiness she deserves and wants. She wipes away a lone tear that escaped from her eyes.
"You know it is dangerous to sit out here late at night" (she looks up at the person who distrubed her thoughts sitting next to her, he looked familiar)
Geet: Thanks, but I want to be alone right now (she turns her head away on the oppposite direction)
"That's not how I see it" (Geet looks at him with annoyance)
Geet: What do you mean?
"Let's see, a girl late at night sitting on the beach (he observes her) from what I can tell crying, suitcase on the side, looking at the the vast ocean ahead of her trying to determine the next step or where to begin
Geet: What else?
"you need someone right now or rather trying to find someone."
Geet: How do you know?
(laughs): See I knew you didn't recognize me with my new look
Geet: who are you?
"I am the dectective Yash you met at the restaurant regarding the person you were looking for"
Geet: Correction, not were, is. I am still looking for him but anyway thanks for your help, I can find him on my own (she gets up to leave)
Yash (yells): What if I was to tell you where he is right now at this moment? (she drops her suitcase and looks at him...she quickly runs up to him and grabs his collar with tears)
Geet: Please tell me where is he? Take me there right now.
Yash (holds her hands which were holding his collar): Realx, I will. From what I can tell he is not going anywhere. Listen, I don't know the whole story between you guys or what happened but I could tell how much pain you both are suffering without each other. Usually, dectective job is to find the person, collect the money and be done with but I want to help you guys reunite. I will do whatever I can to get you guys back together.
Geet (wipes her tears): Thanks. Please take me to him right now.
Yash: Come. (he picks up her suitcase and leaves with her)
