Geet could sense the irritation in his demeanor. One moment he was shaking with fury, the very next he was irritated with himself. Now what had caused that? Was he upset with her that she hadn't told him the truth in the very beginning? Was he upset that she had walked out? Maybe she should try explaining her point of view. "Mujhe nahi pata tha. Mujhe laga ki yeh meri ladayi hai aur ise mujhe kudh akele ladna hai. Aapko isme shamil karke, mein aapko aur takleef nahi dena chahati thi…Mein….". "Chup…bilkul chup"…Maan interrupted, "And there was that voice again. The voice that had the ability to make herself lose in him. Why did he do that?" thought Geet as she looked up at him surprised, as Maan brought his fingers to her lips, holding them there.
Maan looked into Geet's eyes. "Geet…tumne jo kiya, usse mujhe koi farak nahi padta. Mujhe afsos sirf is baat ka hai ki mein apna vaada pura nahi kar paaya. Mein tumhari aanken nahi pad paya. Aur jab mujhe tumhare saath hona chahiye tha tab, mein tumhare saath nahi tha. Mein apni khushi ke aage aur kuch nahi dekh paya", Maan countered. "Humara yeh saath zindagi bhar ka hai, aur is saath mein, hum dono har aane wali mushkil ka saamna milkar karenge…., kyunki mujhe is zindagi mein tumhare aur tumhari khushi ke siwa aur kuch nahi chahiye. Haan Geet.., Chahe is zindagi mein mujhe tumhare liye apne bhai ko hi sazaa dilwani pade". Maan could feel the anger rush into him as he thought about Dev. He could feel himself start to shake again, but he had to control himself for the sake of Geet. He did not want her to feel any sort of pain or upset because of his actions. "She had suffered enough in her young age and he was never going to let anyone or anything upset her again, Maan swore to himself. Dev needed to be punished and he would be taken care of when they got home. Right now all he cared for was Geet and he needed to make sure she felt safe and comfortable.
