Geet slowly opened her room door..it was 1 in the morning...she felt bad for doing this but she had no other choice...slowly she makes her way to the main door..."Am sorry Meera and Yash..I will never forget you guys..I hope you guys understand why I have to do this..." She puts the note down on the coffee table...slowly she opens the main door that will take her to her destiny...she knew there was no turning back now...
Outside of the house a car was waiting for her...the driver takes her bag while she sat in the car...she was scared and nervous to face him...he will be angry as usual but she was willing to put up with everything for Dadima...she was the next closet person that helped her like a mother would..she didn't want to loose her like she lost her mother...she puts her hand on her stomach scared to know what will happen to her kid..does he know? Should she even tell him if he doesn't?
The car stops at the airport where a private jet was awaiting for her...she saw four guards already standing at the bottom of the stairs...she looks through the window to know if the devil was inside waiting for her...waiting to give her the punishment of leaving him..her feet trembled with every step she took..her heart raced with fear and anticipation...her only support right now was the baby...she puts her arm around her waist protecting her womb from the bad things and people around her...
The guards bowed down as she went up the stairs..she could see two air hostess awaiting at the top holding plate with a garland...
"Welcome..." (they put garlands around Geet's neck...she just stood there quiet...trying to peak inside for Maan...she just hoped that he wasn't inside..she needed some time to think about what she has to do or what she will say to him...) "Please come in..King Maan made all the arrangements for you..."
Geet steps inside the jet...the air hostess led her through a wooden door...Geet looks back over her shoulder to see guards staying right behind her very closely...the plane door closes and so does her faith...Geet sits on one of the chair putting on the seat belt..she couldn't think about Maan anymore..she accepted this as her life...she can't put anyone in danger anymore especially those that helped her so much...she was strong now..she will do anything to make sure he gets punished for the sins he has committed even if she has to give up her own life...
It was a very long flight after hours she had finally arrived to her destination...she looks out the window there was no one around... air hostess led her toward the gate...Geet found it confusing when she didn't see any of the guards around anymore...she looks back and the air hostesses were gone as well...slowly Geet climbs down the stairs..she didn't see anyone..she saw a black limo parked alone..the same limo that Maan uses..Geet takes a deep breath before making her way towards it...the driver climbs out of the car to open the door for her..he bows down like the guards from before...
Geet sits inside the limo again hoping to find Maan inside looking at her with anger...looking for answers to his questions which she still doesn't have...but alas he was again not there... throughout the whole plane ride Geet thought about how to face him..she prepared herself to look into his eyes...but now all of that seems useless..her energy, her strength and her brain seemed to all left her as she proceeds closer and closer to her destination.
The car stops..she looks out the window..it wasn't Khruana Mansion at all instead it was a big mansion just like Khruana Mansion but little bit smaller in size...she tried opening the car doors but couldn't...she presses the button to open the partition for the driver but even that was locked...she knocks on the window for someone up to open the door but no one came...
Geet jumps back in her seat when she heard some loud noise..it was a band...she looks on the other side of the window to see who was playing but no one was in sight...She tried again for something or anything to open up but nothing worked..she sits in the corner placing her hands on her ears to stop the noise...
After what seemed like an eternity the car door finally opens...she saw the driver again waiting for her to come out...Geet slowly makes her way out of the limo...she saw a group of band playing in front of the car while couple of ladies held the garlands in their hands to greet her...she looked around for Maan but he was no where in sight...they all help her get inside the house...everyone leaves closing the door behind her...Geet goes toward the door to open but it was locked from the outside...no one was inside the house...it was very quiet now...
Slowly she walks toward the living room with fear...only her racing heartbeat was heard throughout the house...
"Da Dadima?" (Geet finally was able to get enough strength to talk...)
"Itni bhi jaldi kya hai usse milne ki...phele humse, apne pati se toh milo" (Geet looks around in fear trying to find out where he was...she heard his footsteps echoing around the house...Geet walks backwards when she heard his laughter...) "Kya hua bechan ho mujhe dekhne ke liye? Yah phir tum dekhna chahati ho meri kya haalat hai thumare jaane ke baad?"
Geet falls on the sofa...she puts her hand on her stomach as a reflex..."I came to see Dadima..." (she heard his laughter again..it was scary...his laughter was devilish...her lips trembled with anticipation but then she remembered she couldn't fail...she wouldn't allow for the devil to use her again...) "Why don't you come and face me..." (she yells across the empty house..)
"Still have the same attitude...good to see some things don't change...chalo I will complete your wish..." (she heard his footsteps approaching closer and closer toward her..she looks over her shoulder left and right to see him...it was like he was invisible...only his voice and footsteps were heard...) "boo.." (Geet froze when she felt his breath near her neck...she slowly turns her heard toward him...he looks at her with smirk..his face portrays anger and hatred...)
