Geet looks at the guy wearing a white suit and pants..a fear ran through her body for some reason...she didn't know why but she felt as if he was sent by Maan..."how can I think like that? How will Maan know where I am? I need to brace myself...I cannot be thinking like this whenever someone comes to the door..I have to be brave like I promised..." he takes out something from his pocket handing it to Geet
"Excuse me what is this for?"
"I was asked to deliver this note for Mr.Yash"
Geet: May I ask what is this regarding?
"I don't know..I am just doing what I was told..." (The guy quickly leaves..Geet looks at him confused..slowly she closes the door looking at the note in her hand...she saw uncle coming toward her..)
Uncle: Who was that?
Geet: I don't know someone gave me a note and left..(she hands him the note..)
Uncle (shrugs his shoulder..he places the note on the living room table) I guess we will know when Meera and Yash come back...until then why don't you get some rest...I will inform you once they arrive
Geet (nodes her head) thanks uncle...
He watches her leave for her room...he takes out the photo of Rano that he carried with him for all these years..it was their wedding picture...
Our girl has grown up to be so pretty..she looks exactly like you..when I first saw her I knew that I had some kind of connection with her..now I know of what...I am her father...she was right...I owe you the biggest apology for leaving you alone..but what could have I done? We needed money...over the course of the years I just forgot that I have a family back home..I started being selfish...I started to forget you and our daughter...when I came to my senses it was too late by then...
I realized maybe you moved on with your life..I was too scared to come to Hoshiyarpur to check up on you...I didn't know what to do..and each and everyday I felt guilty...guilty for doing this to you, guilty for forgetting you, abandoning you and for being selfish...am sorry Rano... hopefully you can forgive me when I see you up there
He turns around to go to his room when he saw Geet standing there looking at him with tears and shock. He drops the wallet on the floor looking at her..slowly she comes near him picking up the wallet..she saw the picture of her mom and him...
"Geet listen...I"
Geet: Don't...there is nothing you can say to clarify your mistake
"I know but please I want to be there for you...I can't see you in pain like this..please give me a chance to prove myself to you"
Geet: I don't know you! You are a stranger to me...I don't even know your name and frankly it doesn't matter either...(she looks away...he just looks at her...)
"Its Mohindar..." (The door bell rings...)
Geet (looks toward the door) It will be better if Yash and Meera don't know about this...(she goes to open the door trying very hard not to cry..she smiles when opening the door..Meera came in the house hugging Geet looking at her from top to bottom...)
Meera: Are you okay?
Geet: yeah of course...thank god you guys came (she says while looking at her dad...)
Mohindar (sits on the sofa across from Yash...he passes the note that the guy earlier had delivered)
Yash: what is this?
Mohindar: Someone gave it to us for you...we thought that it would be better if you open it
Yash (grabs the note...he opens it...he looks at Geet after reading the note in shock...Meera and everyone look at one another in confusion...Meera grabs the note after getting no response from Yash...)
Dear Mr. Yash Singhania,
"This is King Maan Singh Khruana...am sure you guys heard my name before" (Geet puts her hand on her stomach after hearing his name..her heart began to race with fear and worry...many thoughts ran through her head not making any sense at all...) "Please convey this message to my wife, Geet Maan Singh Khruana, that Dadima is in the hospital due to a heart attack she wishes to see Geet one more time before she dies. I have tried searching for her everywhere and with great difficulties I was able to track you you down. If you know where my wife Geet is then please tell her to come see Dadima before its too late."
Also, if you have any questions, then you can personally call me on my private number written below.
Sincerely,
Maan Singh Khruana
Meera crumbles the note with anger...Geet sits on the couch in shock...Dadima...Meera holds her hand.."don't believe anything that is written on the note..he might be lying..."
Geet: What if he is not? What if Dadima really is in the hospital?
Yash: Geet he is a manipulator he will go to any extent to get you back
Meera: Yeah Yash is right...don't fall for it Geet..it is just a trick
Geet gets up slowly still not able to decide what is right or wrong...she lies down on her bed thinking of her decisions..it could be Maan's trick but what if it is not..Can he really lie about his own Dadima to get her back? If he could track down Yash and Meera than why hasn't he found out that I live with them? Does he know about this or is he playing some sort of game with her?
What should I do? Whom should I believe? Dadima helped her so much..she helped her escape from the mansion..what if she is sick than shouldn't she repay the debt back to her? Shouldn't she be there for Dadima when she need her the most?
Flashback:
Geet hugged Dadima crying on her shoulder blaming her faith for all of this mess..all she wanted was a normal life but this monster turned her whole life upside down..snatched everything from her...Dadima patted her back to calm her down..
Dadima: Geet you have to run away from here..I thought that my grandson will change but I lost all hope now after seeing you like this...you have to leave
Geet: But how can I leave you here alone?
Dadima: I was alone ever before you came so there is nothing new here...I have learned to live on my own without depending on Maan...don't worry about me..I will be okay
Geet: But Vicky...
Dadima (cries..) Forget Vicky...just pray that he doesn't get a brother like Maan ever again...(she makes Geet stand up bringing her upstairs toward her room...she goes toward the closet taking some cash out...here take this and go away..don't tell me where just get out of here and start your life again
Geet (looks at the money and then at her) but he will find me...the guards won't allow me to leave
Dadima: I will take care of them...go away Geet never come back..promise me...no matter what don't come back
Geet (hugs her) You come with me...please..(she cries)
Dadima: I can't...you know that...this is the time for you to become strong..stand up for yourself...be independent away from Maan's shadow...just promise me...
Geet: I promise Dadima..I will never forget you...(she takes her blessing...Dadima hugs her tight...)
Dadima: Okay stay here...I am going to distract the guards...when they come in I want you to sneak out of the house through the back...okay
Geet: Okay...(she wipes her tears...)
Both go down the stairs...Dadima picks up a broken piece of glass..she brings out her to cut it...Geet puts her hand on top...
"What are you doing?"
Dadima: This is the only way..don't worry it won't be deep cut..trust me...(Dadima cuts her hand with the glass...) okay you go hide when I give you the signal than you sneak out...(As soon as Geet was hidden..Dadima picks up the receiver dialing the guards outside..) come inside quickly...(the guards come in..Dadima sits on the floor holding her hand in pain screaming..the guards look at her scared..they didn't know what to do...they were not allowed to touch them at all...) Why are you guys starting at me..help me..I am bleeding...(she screams...the guards go near her to help her but backs up after they hear her scream again..) call more for help or else my grandson will be more furious (they immediately nodes their head after hearing Maan's name..one of the guard runs outside to call everybody else...) help me upstairs...(she tried to get up but couldn't...) aahh my foot..it hurts...
The guards one by one carry her upstairs...as soon as the coast was clear Geet comes out of her hiding spot..she looks at the house and Dadima before running out through the back with her face covered...
Geet sits up remembering Dadima...she picks up the phone knowing what she has to do..."hello..."
