First MAAN couldn't recognize that girl''he found some resembles'..of her face'..and his eyes slowly became wide'..and he whispered the name'.."KAYA!!!!!!"'..

Slowly that girl came towards maan, '..maan couldn't look into her eyes which are spitting fires''.KAYA "Waa!! MAAN Bayya!

KAYA "Haa! Main maanthi hun ki pehle'.. Mujhe bhi bahut Gussa aaya tha GEET pe''"''Liken baadmain bayya key DAIRY padnekey baad mujhe puri sach ka patha chala'.."''Turnign to him'..

MAAN "'Tum!! ??? Tum? Kya kehrahi ho'..Kaya!!! kaisi Sacchahi''mujhe kuch samaj main nahi aaraha''Kartik ki DAIRY ???...aur Shanti MAA asylum main hain??? '.."''he was surprised ''"Saaf saaf q nahi batahi ''wo kaisi sacchi hi hain jo mujhe nahi pata'.."'..his legs no loger have strength to stand still, he dropped himself on bed.

Kaya "Batathi hun Maan bayya!!!...bathathi hun'.aaj mujhe aapki galath faimhi door karni hain'.shaayad mujhe hey kaam pehale hi kardena chahihye tha''."''do saal pehale ki baath hain'' Karithik bayya ki barsi thi aur main aaji ki din uska janamdin tha'..aur aapka bhi *smilingly*''..aur main bayya ke room ki safahi karney gahi thi''safahi karthey waqt mujhe bayya ki cupboard ke uper ek dairy mila '..aur uss dairy main'..mujhe GEET ki tasveer mili''while taking out the dairy from her side bag''.handovers that DAIRY to MAAN'..

Today is MAAN and KARTIK's BIRTHDAY

Maan was back from amhedabaad for 1 week holidays'..GEET wanted to give surprise party for the best buddies MAAN and KARTIK''GEET always treated Kartik as a very good friend and she is thankful to him for helping her in getting close to MAAN. She did sense the changed behavior in kartik and his ignorece towards maan. Even maan did say about the coldness behavior kartik towards him. She wanted them to be friends like they used to be earlier. MAAN wanted to spend his whole week with GEET'.But GEET assured him that she will come wherever he want her to come after this party'..Then GEET Called Kartik to come to Kohinoor hotel to pick her'..

Somehow geet managed to arrange a surprise party with the help of Khurana Brothers..'..where all the Khurana's , Handa's where present''including'..Shanti Aunty and Kaya too!!!...

When GEET was lost in her thoughts'..while waiting for Kartik'.two hands snaked her waist from behind'..which made geet to gasp '.and turned back'"MAAN!!!

GEET "Kuch nahi maan!! Main he sooch rahi thi'ki'kartik badalsa gaya hain''.teekse baath nahi karta hain kisise'..Nandini dee bhi kehrahi thi ki'..Wo teekse claases bhi attend nahi karta hain''.App dono ke beech kuch jagada 'wagada tho nahi huwa na?..."'.

Kartik'.

MAAN can feel the ground beneth his feet just vanished and he sat there 'he hated himself for being the cause for his BEST FRIENDS DEATH''''.he saw the mother who is not shedding a tear'' just staring somewhere else'.MAAN '.his own voice souding alien to him'.he called "MAA!!..."'pulled her into a hug and asked her to cry'.."'Maa!!

**********

It's been three days since Kartik's Family gone through dreadful death of their Son/Brother and loss. Whole house was filled up with people who had come to show their condolence. It has become Very difficult for MAAN to console a mother who is heartbroken and a sister who in delima whether to mourn for the death of her brother or to cry in the lap of her mother; Words seems inadequate to express the sadness and loss. Slowly the people started to decrease'..The Khruana's and Handa's are taken care of everything and equally sad for the loss, who was grownup with MAAN''almost like their Own Kid.

What moves through us is a silence,

a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day,

one more word, one more touch,

we may not understand why you left this earth so soon,

or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye,

but little by little,

we begin to remember not just that you died,

but that you lived.

And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

Maan had many questions encountering within his mind. He was shattered'..he has decide to confront GEET once he get free'.he was eager to know'.Whats made Kartik to take this big step'..?Later in the Evening'.MAAN Stayed with shanti maa who was lost looking at the ceiling hugging Kartik's photo frame'.'.until she fell asleep. Without making much noise he came out of the room to meet KAYA who was making coffee to MAAN and herself'..

MAAN hesitated to ask at first'.seeing her puffed red lids''but he have left no option'."KAYA!!!...Mujhe tumsey Kuch poochna tha!!!"'.KAYA "JEE!!! Bayya!!!..."'..MAAN "Wo!!!

"Bayya! GEET ke sivaye 'kisi aur Ladki se baat bhi nahi karthey they,'.."... MAAN's instincts were getting strong''. thought for moment and said' "Main abhi aatha hun'..!!!...mujhe kuch jaroori kaam yaad aagaya''Maa ka kayal Rakkna'..Agar kuch chahiye tho Phone kardena'..hichkichana matt'Main bhi tumhara bhai hun'.."'.Patted her head'.Hurridly left the place'.

On the way Maan Called GEET to meet him at their usual place'

.This is the Place where MAAN and GEET use to come whenever they want some privacy.

MAAN was restless and kept looking into his watch every now and then'..Just then GEET arrived' MAAN saw her from far keeping long steps'to reach him'..as fast as she could'.''.immediately she ran into him and hugged as tight as she could'..''But maan didn't hug her back'.GEET sensed some thing change in his behavior'..GEET "I MISSED YOU MAAN!!!"'.MAAN'.separted from the hug and started at her eyes'..for searching answers '.to his questions'saw her innocent and seren eyes'..MAAN directly came to the point''MAAN "GEET!!! Mujhe tumsey ek baat poochni hain'."'keeping his stern look'..GEET'knew this day would come and she wanted totell everything to maan as soon as possible'..GEET "Mujhe bhi aapse kuch kehna hain''"'keeping eyes down'.MAAN "Such Such Bathao GEET'ussdin party main'.Tumharey aur Kartik ke Beech asia kya baat huwa tha???...Mujhe Jooth Bolney walon se aur baat chupane walon se bahut nafarat hain'..aur hey baat tum bhi jaanthi ho'."''.

GEET kept silent '..MAAN was loosig his patience by very passing seconds'..GEET "..Wo!!!Wo'Main" '' "'MAAN main aapko hey bataney hi waali thi'ki'"'MAAN cut her off in mid "bataney hi waali thi'ki 'KARTIK ko tumney joota Pyaar ka dilasa diya aur ussey Kudhkushi karne ko majboor kardiya'???...Hain na"''his eyes were spitting fires'..She is shivering ..her voice stuck in her throat '.GEET shook her head '"Aisa Nahi hain'."'.MAAN"Kya nahi GEET'.???.ha?"'..Grabbed her shoulders '.making her to wimper with pain'...Hey such nahi ki tumhey uskey jazbaat ke saat kilwaad nahi kiya'..usko joota pyaar ka dilasa dilaya gayata'."''GEET '..wiped her tears'."MAAN!!! aap aise sooch kaise sakthey '."'.MAAN "BASS!!

MAAN "NAHI!!! NAHI hey nahi hosaktha''.GEET mujhe chodkey nahi jaasakthi''..Hey mujhse kya hogaya Kaya!!!???...hey mujhse kya hogaya'!!! '" he held the letter close to his heart..."'.he saw tensed Dr.Tia "Doctor'GEET kaha hain'.."''hoping that he could hear positive answer'..Dr.Tia"'Mujhe pata nahi.i'm affraid that wo kcuh galth kadam naa utahey'Usski dispensary se 2 bottal Sleeping pills gayab hian...head sister ne mujhe batayai'..Please aap jaldi GEET ko doondihey'.kahi deyer na hojahye''" his head shot up when he heard a thud sound at the door ''only by hearing him shout'."DAADIMAAA!"''

After 10 mintues'.Dr.Batra came out of the ICU unit where MAAN's daadima was layed on bed with oxygen mask'..by the time all the Khurana's and Handa's are gathered there '.Dr.Batra "Mr.Khurana!!!...abb Woo kattresey Bahar hain'.mild strok huwa hain''.chinta karney ki kohi baat nahi'..ah! lekin ussey zaada stress na de'iss baat ka kayal rakkiye'ek ek karkey aap unnse millsakthey hain'..."'.saying this doctor let them to meet Daadima'.one by one. Dr.Tia Came out of the glass door "Mr.Khurana'Savitrijee baar baar GEET ka naam lerahi hain'.."'.Then everyone gathered there started to ask where is GEET. Hearing this Maan Just bragged into the ICU to meet DAADI. MAAN stood beside DAADI's bed'.Which DAADI Signalled him to come little closure'

DAADIMA '.with aroused tone "GEETTT!!!,,,,Humey GEET se millni hain'."'MAAN immediately hugged her and promised to bring GEET back '.DAADI patted on his cheeks'..a drop tear fell from Daadi's eyes'..MAAN cried like a Baby in her arms'.Daadi was trying to say something'.maan saw her and took his ear to daadi'.DAAIMA "GEET! Ko Lekar aaho!!! Jaldi karo Maan''"'maan strainghted himself "Jee!! DAADI main GEET ko lekar ahunga'..Meri GEET ko main Wapas Lekar aahunga'.App! Jaada Stress matt lo'."'saying this he wiped her tears and ran out of the ICU without answering to his Father Dhanraj who was calling him to stop'..MAAN came out with a limping leg.bumped into Vicky who is entering the hospital'.

Vicky '.starttled "Bahi!!!...Aap!!! kisse dhundrahey hand,'."'MAAN'sighed and left a relief breath'. "Thank god! Tum millgaye'.Vicky muhe Gadi ki chabeei chahiye'."'Vicky handed him a Key without Questioning'why'.Vicky"Per bhai aap Kaha Jarahey ho'..aur aise aalath main'.??"'.MAAN was getting impatient and with every passing minute his heart beat was reaising'..MAAN'."Vicky!! kisiko kuch matt batovo'.Main GEET ko dhundney jaarah hun'.pehale hi Daadi ki wajse sab pareshaan hain'.Tum batasaktey ho'GEET kaha hosakthi hain??"'.Vicky was glad that his Bhai is nomore angry with geet''Vicky "Nahi bhai!!!...Guddi kabhi kisiko batahey bina nahi jaathi'.."'MAAN getting tensed with each passing seconds'.he thought there is no use in talking with Vicky'..he sat in the car, pressed the accelerate and droved as fast as he could'..leaving a baffled Vicky Behind.

In car Maan tried to call GEET number, which was given by Kaya! '..but in vain the operator was keep saying "This no. is not reachable at this moment Please try after sometime"'.due to frustration he banged on starining wheel''. he called Kaya to ask whether GEET have any hideouts''.but there also his luck has given away.

Atlast He called Captian Aditya to track the GEET's Cell Phone.'.as soon as possible''MAAN Closed his eyes'."GEET!!! Please Asisa Kuch Matt karo!!!...Kaha Ho tum'.."'.then he got an idea that where else she would be now'..turned his car, increased the speed..MAAN "GEET!!!...Main aarah hun'."'..said .wiping his trears'..

...Meanwhile...

GEET had come to theirs Usual meeting place'..which was used to be their but not anymore'..now its only GEET's '.

Whenever GEET feels low she use to come here to get a peace of mind. Today her heart is crying, she want to cry with her heart out'..she don't want to hold back the pain which is suffocating her'..HER MAAN want her to be away from him'..Her existence causing pain for maan'.How could she become a cause for his pain''she don't know whose falut it is'.she just know one thing whether it is right or wrong'.she don't want to hurt him'..don't know how long she sat there looking at the sun which is beginng to dusk'..She took out the Two bottles from her bag ''..

Saza pe chor diya jaza pe chor diya
har ek kam hum ne khuda pe chor diya

Opened the one bottle stared for few seconds '..Saw maan's photo which is in her lap'..and emptied it in one go'.swalloed it holding her throat.GEET'.Smiled with teary eyes'..kissing his photo'..

woh hum ko yad rahkta ya bhula deta
usi ka kam tha usi ki raza pe chor diya

GEET "MAAN!!!...Main aapko aur dard nahi desakthi'..isiliye main aapse door jarahi hun'..agar hosaky tho mujhe maaf kardijeeye'.."'.hold his photo near to her heart never letting go'..the Sleeping pills are slowly started to show there effect'.

us ki marzi bujha de ya phir jala rakhe
cheragh hum ne jala kar hawa pe chor diya

GEET '.Layed on floor '..holding MAAN's photo''GEET "MAAN!!! Mujhe aapki godhi main Sona hain'..Please aap! Gussa matt ho!!..."Saying this'.She kept her head on the photo'..her eyes slowly closing''.GEET Slapped herself twice lightly .'GEET "GEET!!!...Abhi so matt!!!...Aur ek bottle hain''"'.Saying this she opened another bottle '..her vision getting blur'..she spilled some of the tablets on the floor. Her hands are shaking uncontrollabely ...she picked up the tablets to eat from the floor one by one and emptied the bottle which are left over'..slowly'..

us se baat bhi karte tu kis tarhan karte
yeh masal dua ka tha dua pe chor diya

GEET'.managed to eat all the pills left over on the floor and fishied her bag to take out the small red box '..Finally she found it and opened that box to see the DIAMOND RING which was gifted by him to her Birthday'..GEET'"MAAN!!!...Main Aapki Dhulhan Bankar aapki saat jeena chahtithi'' '..Apkey hathon mangalsutar bandvana chahthi thi'.per mere naseeb main woo sabb nahi likka hain'."''.Chuckeld "Isiliye aapki hey diye huwey anguti se hain kaam chalalungi'..heyhi mere liye mangalsutar hain' aur mere suhaag ki nishaani."'.

iss liye tu woh kehte hain bewafa hum ko
ke hum ne sara zamana wafa pe chor diya

GEET is trying hard to open her eyes'..she saw some one is running towards her'.a bluring vision is not helping her'.much'.She tried to get up'.But more she tried more she is driffing into the darkness'..she heard her name''yes she heard her MAAN calling her name'''.suddenly she started to cough'..and she puked blood which covered her white dress'she is smiling with blood stained Teeths'.she stood staringht with the help of pillar'she lost her balance and supposed to fall back on the floor'.then suddenly two hands Grabbed and pressed her petite body to a hard body without letting her hit the ground'..MAAN '.Hold her in his arms'Patted her Back'..and separted her body supporting her head'..back'.MAAN '"GEET!!!!...hey tumney kya kardiya GEET!!!..."...shaked her twice to open her eyes'..

MAAN... "...GEET!!! ...GEEET!!!...ankhey Kolo...!!! GEET!!!...Dekho Main tumhara MAAN aayahun...Ankhey kolo Guddi!!!! "...
