Geet ran outside the shop with Ajay..it had started to rain now..she looked everywhere for Pari but couldn't find her..she asked people walking around but no one had any clue..she stood on top of the cab yelling her name...Geet quickly got down from the cab and hailed a taxi to the police station. Meanwhile, Pari came inside another store following the cat...the women looked at her and allowed her to play with the cat..
Maan caught up with Alisha outside before she could leave...
Maan: Alisha..my name is Maan Singh Khruana..I am a reporter from XYZ..I want to ask you about your
Alisha: husband?
Maan: yes if you have time
Alisha (smiles) sure why don't you come inside the car where we can talk more comfortably..(Maan quickly gets in..he had about an hour left before 5...)
Maan: I don't know how to ask you this but
Alisha (takes out the documents from her purse) here this is what you are looking for...(Maan smiles..) just do me one favor
Maan: Anything
Alisha: make sure my name is in the papers...when you are writing the story about my husband..I want him to be caught and punished for his deeds
Maan: Sure...no problem umm there is one more thing..
Alisha: Sure..what is it?
Maan: There is a press conference at the city hall today at 5..you have to be there to make the statement in front of everyone
Alisha; umm I have an appointment right now but I will try to make it there by 5pm
Maan: thanks so much! (he gets out of the car and hails a cab to city hall...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet: Why don't you understand!!! A little girl is lost in New York city..I need to find her!!! (She was at the police station yelling at the police officer...a lady next to her looked at her shaking her head..Geet looks at her) What is it! haven't you seen a women yelling before?! (The women gets mad and leaves) Listen officer..I was babysitting the girl and I don't know what happened..I turned my back and she was gone..I need to find her...what would I tell her father?
PO: I know ma'am but try to understand..there is nothing we can do yet...
Geet; What do you mean!!! You can go and find her...I don't care what it takes..find that girl (she looks at Ajay who was sitting there quiet shaking his head but he didn't say anything..he knew his mother will not calm down no matter what..Geet goes to Ajay and holds his hand..) come lets go
Ajay: Where?
Geet: To the city hall...Maan has a meeting there at 5pm..we have to go meet him and tell him what happened...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maan saw the city hall..he looked at the time..he was half hour early..he sighed in relief..just when he was about to get off the cab..he received another call...
Maan: hello
"Sir we found your daughter..."
Maan (was shocked) you what?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet ran to the city hall...she saw many reporters there setting up for the press conference..
Geet; Excuse me do you know Maan Singh Khruana? (the girl turned around and looks at her)
"And who are you?"
Geet: My name is Geet..and..
"ohh you are the women that lost his kid..." (Geet looks at her shocked...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maan came to the store where the police said she was. He saw an elderly women behind the counter..
Maan: Excuse me..have you seen a little girl..about yeh high and she is around 9 yrs old?
"Yeah..she is right there...under that table.." Maan bends down...and saw Pari playing with a little kitten
Maan; Pari come lets go...I have to go to a meeting
Pari: But I wanna play with the cat
Maan: you can play later..come lets go...(He holds her and tries to bring her out of the table.but Pari starts crying.Maan lets go of her..) You really like that cat don't you?
Pari: yes..I want to play with the kitten..i love cats
Maan: I know..but you can play later
Pari: no...
Maan (sighs) who is going to take care of her? You know your mother is allergic to cats
Pari: I know..I can have the kitten stay over at your house
Maan: my house?
Pari; Yeah.and I can come over everyday and play with the cat and take care of the cat
Maan: Okay if you promise to do that...
Pari: I promise daddy...I want this one...
Maan: okay take this one...(the lady gives the kitten for free...) okay put the kitten in your bag..make sure it doesn't get out...(he holds her hand..) come lets go...(he checks the time..he had only 15 minutes until he can get to City Hall)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet stood there now among crows waiting for Maan to come...the press conference had started...Rahul was there answering everyone's questions..but she could tell that he was nervous and scared...she just looked at the entrance waiting for him to come...she was scared about Pari..she didn't know how she is able to face him. All day she accused him of not being responsible enough but she is the one that ended up loosing his daughter. He took care of Ajay so well on his own while she acted like a total bitch towards him. She saw Rahul going up the stairs...she couldn't let him go...she rose her hand..Ajay looks at her shocked
Ajay: Mom what are you doing?
Geet: I don't know...excuse me Rahul sir...(he stops and looks at Geet..)
Rahul: yes..
Geet: what uhh about Maan...he said that he has some evidence to back up all the accusations he said about you
Rahul: Maan is a fraud and I will make sure that he is put behind the bars so that he never writes again
Maan: Ohh yeah what about your wife? (Geet looks at him and saw Pari with him. She hugs Pari tightly with a relief)
Rahul: My wife?
Alisha: Yes..I have proof of what you have done..(she shows everyone the papers..the press goes crazy..Rahul wipes his sweat and runs up the stairs...)
Maan (smiles...he was saved...he looks at Geet..) So..
Geet: umm am sorry...about all this...am sorry for the way I have been acting all morning toward you
Maan: its okay...
Ajay: mom I have my game tonight at 7
Geet: ohh shoot..I forgot..come lets go
Maan: Do you mind if we accompany you?
Geet: I don't mind...(All run outside...Geet stops in the middle) damn I forgot I have a meeting at 5:30
Ajay: What? You always work..am not important to you..your work is
Geet: Ajay you know that is not true..I love you...but I have to attend this meeting or else I might loose my job..please try to understand
Ajay: fine
Geet: I will be in only for 15 minutes that is it...I promise..we will make it on time (she hails a taxi..everyone gets in...after 10 minutes...all reach to her destination..)
Maan; I will take care of Ajay..you go and finish your meeting..
Geet: Thanks so much! (She quickly gives Ajay a kiss before going inside the building..)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside, Geet saw her boss and clients already waiting for her. She smiled and shook their hands...
Boss: Ahh I told you she will be here on time...(She smiles and sits on a chair opposite of them.she looks outside the window and saw Maan and the kids making funny faces for her...she composed herself and looks at the clients) Geet I was just going over the designs that you presented earlier today
"Yes. We are so amazed by your designs..." (Geet looks at the watch...she had 10 minutes to end this meeting..she saw Ajay smiling at her..) "we were also discussing plans for our new upcoming projects...we were thinking of Amusements complex for adults...and we would like you to design that for us"
Geet: me.uhh I am honored
Boss; Maybe Geet wouldn't mind if you could show us some designs a rough draft so to speak that would show what the client might be looking for
Geet: uhh umm okay but I don't have...
Boss (hands her the paper) here you go
Geet (looks at her son out the window...) uhh first you..uh..(she draws something on the paper...and puts it down..) you know what I can't do this right now...(she stands up and looks at her kid..Boss looks at the kid from the window)
Boss; Isn't he the same boy from the morning
Geet: yes he is and he is my son sir...and he has a game in about half hour and if I don't get there on time..he won't win the game and it is all because of me being here with you guys discussing some plans about amusement park. My son means the world to me and I would do anything for him. And if I don't go right now then I would never be able to show him that he is the most important person in my life. So excuse me gentlemen.I have a game to attend...(The guys look at her shocked..the boss was baffaled by her attitude)
"I Like her..."
Boss (laughs) so do I..isn't she something..
"She sure is..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet held Ajay's hand while Maan held Pari's hand while running...
Maan: Hey I know a short cut..lets go
Geet: Maan you know inspite of everything I uhh never got the chance to apologize to you properly for Pari
Maan: ahh don't worry about it..It happened to me too
Geet: You lost her too?
Maan: In the morning.she wandered off for a cat...
Geet: Ohh well it would've been helpful if you had mentioned that little fact
Maan: Well it would've been helpful if you had mentioned that Ajay likes to put things in his nose...
Geet: No ways
Maan:Yep..all the way up there...the doctor had to use a pliar thing..to get it out...
Geet: Alligator...its a tool that I love now...comes in handy
Maan: okay guys..we are almost there..(he says while running)
Geet: any other catastrophes?
Pari: A cat ate all Ajay's goldfishes
Geet: good riddance...
Pari: I have to go to the bathroom dad
Maan: Can't you hold it in?
Pari; No..
Geet (saw a restaurant..) come...I will take Pari...(she holds her hand..) lets go sweety...(inside the bathroom) so Pari that girl Sasha is she a girlfriend of your daddy's? (Geet asked while Pari washed her hands...)
Pari: No way..she wished she was...dad wants someone who can handle his cookies and understand his deep dark chocolate
Geet (smiles) hmm okay lets go...
All ran toward the game again..they stopped in front of a big puddle..kids ran through it while Geet stood there not knowing what to do...Maan picked her up and ran into the puddle.while Geet screamed and laughed...Maan jumped up and down in the puddle causing him to wet his pants...he puts Geet down at the end..kids ran toward the field where other teams were already present...
Precap: Maybe you would like to come over for dinner...
