The following Morning, Vikram took Geet to see Sia. Unknown to him, Adi and Vikrant knew the truth about him and Geet. Unknown to him, that there was a car following them. Adi took control of the steering well as Vikrant directed Vikram's directions. They followed the car out of town and came across a small cottage just outside Delhi. They noticed Geet and Vikram exit the car. Vikrant told Adi to park at the next lane as he did not want anyone to know that Vikram was followed. Vikrant followed and went to the window and saw Geet hugging her child and crying. He smiled seeing his niece. He closed his eyes and turned as he noticed that Geet was giving Sia her feed. Sia looked around 1 months old, and Vikram had deprived her 1 week of a mother's milk. Vikrant clenched his hands, being a doctor he knew how dangerous this was as Mother's milk is the best protection.
Vikrant kept checking the house, as he knew Geet had not left. He was placing small cameras in the house windows and around to find out movements. So far he had noticed that there were two nurses in the actual cottage. After 2 hours, Vikrant saw Vikram pull Sia away from Geet, with Geet begging and pleading. He saw Sia being given to a nurse as he dragged Geet out of the cottage. Vikrant clenched his fist. He quickly ran back to the car as he overheard Vikram calling someone to secure guards at the cottage.
Vikrant and Adi drove home and called Meera and Pinky.
'ha Sia is at that cottage, yeh hamari Geet hai' Adi and Vikrant filled in the blanks.
'ha the best way for Geet to return to us is to get back her weakness' Adi said. Adi and Vikrant decided that them together will go and free Sia whlist Pinky and Meera make such a instance that Geet will have no option but to say Geet's truth. Unknown to them someone had heard the whole truth and tears came out her eyes. She decided to play it mum for everyones sake.
Later that afternoon Vikram and Geet came to Khurana Mansion. Geet came smiling and said
Maan was shocked.
'Sagai?' He asked. He looked at Geet who looked anywhere but at him.
'ha..yeh lo invite' She said walking up to him and she tripped over the rug and fell into Maan's arms. Maan and Geet looked at eachother remembering the countless time she fell into eachother's arms. A tear came out of Geet's eyes.
'tum tik ho na' asked Maan. Geet got up quickly and said thanks. She turned to Vikram and said
'main abhi ati hu,,dadima se milkar' Unknown to her that Vikram was looking at her in anger.
Geet after meeting Dadima walked into the outhouse remenising the many memories she had here. The night they both spent, the argumetns, Pari, everything. She turned to leave when she saw Vikram
'Vikram tum' She said wiping her tears.
Both of them started fighting, when Geet yelled Maan when Vikram hit him from the back. Maan hit his head on the wall and fell down. At that moment Nakul, Pinky and Meera Vikrant and Adi came running in.
Geet grabbed Maan and sat him down as Vikram looked in anger.
'kitna khoon hai...koi baraf lekar aao.. aap tik to hai na' Geet cried after getting the ice and putting it on his face.Maan was shocked, if she was not Geet why was she crying so much why does her eyes show pain when He is hurt
'ha lekin Vikram' He asked. Geet got up and ran out.
Maan after doing first aid kept thinking about Geet. Even if she isnt Geet. She cannot live with a monster like that Vikram. Maan Singh Khurana always stood up for the tright things in life and still will.
'Aapko kyun takleef horahi hai' asked Vikrant turning to Maan. 'agar horari hai to jao.. jakar ause bachao..kuch karo.. kamse kam maine aus Vikram se baat to ki' Vikrant ordered Maan. Maan looked at him in shock his younger brother ordering him but he was right. 'Aapne kya kiya kuch bi nahi..Aaj Reet ke Sagai hai.. aur phir kal shaadi.. agar himmat hai.. jakar ause bachalo.. hai himmat?' Vikrant questioned Maan who was in his thoughts.
'Ek baat pocho..kya lagti hai aapke.. woh aapke Geet nahi hai' Vikrant said.
'ha woh meri Geet nahi hai' Maan argued back in distress 'janta hu main.'
'phir auske takleef dekhar aapko kyun takleef horarhi.. hai.. agar kuch karsaktey ho to..shayad Reet Outhouse main Rajji Pinky Meera ke saath hogi' Vikrant said. Maan walked away
Vikrant thought to himself 'Agar woh mere bhai Maan hai.. jo main janta hu to koi nahi roksakta mere bhai ko.. aaj koi bi nahi'
At that point Maan ran to the outhouse and saw Geet sitting there with Rajji who was crying.
'shayad main tumhari didi nahi hu, lekin I promise I'll be there for you' Geet had finished saying when Maan came.Geet looked up and saw him.
'aap'
'ha main i need to talk to you Reet' Maan said as he led her into a room.
They stood facing eachother as the wind blew the curtains. Maan and Geet went to the window to close it.
'aaj tumhari sagai hai' Maan said softly 'to socha to tumhe main congrats kehdo' Geet looked at him in shock. 'aaj ka din har ladki ke liye bohot important ta, meri Geet ke liye bi ta,, '
Geet nodded. 'but you don't look happy' Maan said
'how many times do I say I'm happy'
'you can say how much you want. But I don't believe you seeing you in this state. I can't sit here knowing your in pain even if your not Geet your a friend' Maan said. Geet looked at him and said
'believe me I'm fine nothing has happened to me' Geet tried to reassure him.
'your hiding something Reet.. you don't want this marraige.. But there something I don't know. Is there something you want to say but you can't say.. say it before its too late' Maan urged her to speak. Geet wanted to say what she wanted but she walekd away when Maan held her hand.
Geet looked at him in tears and said 'I have to go'
But Maan held her hand tighter. Geet looked at him and both had flashbacks whenever Maan stopped her from going. He walked closer to her to that they were face to face.
'no. you can't leave like this...I don't know if i should have come or not.. but there is something Reet.. that has brought me here..maybe because I never managed to save my Geet and tell her how much I love her' Maan said, as Geet tried to control her tears. 'And Maybe this is why I want to save you..just tell me your not hiding anything from me'
'leave my hand.. I'm not hiding nothing from anyone' Geet said
'wait Reet.. listen to me one last time' Maan said as Geet stopped and turned her shoulder.
'This is my Geet's clothes that she was going to wear for our engagment.we promised that har subha ek dosre se shuru hoga aur har raat ek dosre ke katam.. She said she will stay with me forever.. I'm still waiting for her to return.. I'm mad arent I.. I'm sorry I was looking for my Geet in you...Maybe thats why..You want to marry Vikramt thats your decision.. I always wish you be happy' Maan said softly to her. Geet looked at him in shock. He walked to the cupbaord.
'look this is Geet's wardrobe..her clothes... roses her favourties...her favourte jhumkas she loves them...her dupatas,,this sari.. take it all.. take it.. this necklass.. when i said no banawati cheezin..her salwar kameez.. this green one i brought for her.. she has so many.. take this.. its your sagaii.. take them all' Maan thrusted them into her hands.
'Maan what are you doing.. I cant take them.. its your Geet's memories..'
'Please take them.. so any hope of Geet returning will be gone..but there a request.. I have a request wear this outfit on your engagement' Maan siad. Geet looked at him shocked remembering the engagement she almost had with him. The clothes, the mehdi, the time when she found out Dev's truth. Her heart, Maan missing.
'Now Geet is only a memory for me' Maan said with a few tears as Geet tears showing.
'I want you to take Geet's memories away from me.. take it all..' Maan said. Geet left it on the bed and said 'I can't take it'
she walked out.
'why '
'because its not mine..' Geet shouted.
'ha your right.. let me do one thing.. let me burn it.. throw it' Maan said in anguish..'let me finish everything..' Maan picked up the engagment clothes and her clothes.
'Leave it Maan waht are you doing .. stop it' Geet said grabbing the lighter out of Maan's hands, her eyes and heart in pain. Maan looked at her and asked her a simple question.
'why? why do you feel pain ? your not my Geet.. when something happens to me.. why do you feel pain? ha' Maan said holding her close to him.He held her hand as Geet gasped at the closness
'when I come close to you why do you get so scared' He asked in anger as Geet looked down holding her tears.
'tume main saro lagta hu, you fight with me like my Geet.. why do you and my Geet are the same.. why do you remind me of Geet? why do you care for me moret han Vikram?' He held her hands wanting and demanding an answer from her.
'Whenever I talk about my Geet why do you turn your face? why do you look down? why are there tears of pain in your eyes now? why did you stop me from setting fire to Geet's memories?'
Geet was brething heavily and crying
'what are you hiding from me Geet or yourself?' He asked her urging her to speak At that moment Vikram arrived in anger seeing them.
Adi and Vikrant had also returned as Vikram had taken Sia from the cottage and she was in the car outside with guards. Adi and Vikrant had beaten them up and took Sia.
'come on Geet say it your our Geet' siad Vikrant who was standing with Meera and ADi n pinky.
'there something in your heart.. because as soon as i come close you you start to breath fast, your heart rate increases' Maan said hoarsley near her ears.
'Tell me why did you return why don't you leave?' He held her hands tight.
'if your not my Geet.. why don't you go.. why ' Maan kept asking at that point breaking her resolve.
'KYUN KE MAIN AAPKE GEET HU HA MAIN GEET HANDA HU.. HOSHYAPUR KI DAARJI KE POOTI.. APKE MANGETAR RAJJI AUR TITTO KI BEHEN AUR AAP SAB KI DOST... Kyun ke.. main apse bohot pyar karti huu Maan..because I can't see you in pain Maan.'
'I died without you Geet' Maan cried hugging her.
'I couldn't even do that' Eveyone started crying happily as they all walked towards Geet. Adi and Vikrant went to get Sia from Dadima who had heard the whole truth when the gang were planning. Noone had noticed that Vikram was walking towards them.
'GEET TUMHARI ITNI HIMMAT MAINE MANA KIYA TA SACH BATANE SE..AB DEKHO MAIN SIA KO KYA KARTA HU' Vikram said in anger.
'Sia to yaha par hai Vikram Ranawat' Vikrant and Adi said giving the child to Geet.
'inspectpr saab' Adi called.
'GEET NAHI GEET.. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME..GEET YOUR MINE' Vikram kept screaming as he got led out by a dozen policeman.
At that moment everyone started crying happilly hugging eachother.
Later that evening after everyone filled in the blanks, Rajji and titto left for home to get there family to give them the big news. Geet was sleeping in Maan's lap when she had an awful dream of Vikram trying to kill her..
'Vikram nahi' Geet shouted and she woke up to see Maan staring at her intently. He held her hands tightly and said
'Vikram nahi Geet, sirf Maan, tumhara Maan.' He said softly.
'Maan woh waapas to nahi ayenga na' She asked.
'kabhie nahi.. ' He kissed herforehead.
'i'm so sorry Maan.. This all happened becasue of me.. maine..'
'chup bilkiul chupp. dekho ka Geet ke babaji meri mishty kitna bolti hai' Maan teased and Geet smiled.
'Maan Sia kaha hai' Geet asked as her question was answered by a crying sound.
A few weeks later everything was back to normal. The birth register was changed. Maan and Geet being the official parents of Sia. There wedding to be set in another week. At home, Maan and Vikrant was watching Sia Meera and Geet playing with Sia.
'Vikrnat kaha ho tum?'

'tumhari bhabhi waha par hai.. lekin dekho how many sms she sent' Maan smiled at her.
'ha atleast you know Geet bhabhi loves you.. she trying to make up the 7 months you spent apart from eachother.. but here' Vikrant said looking at Meera.
'ha 7 months..' Maan said
'whats up'
'nothing.. I'm just thinking Geet took such a big decision on her own.. Didn't let anyone of know and look how much our lives changed.. sometimes these decisions change our lives in ways we never imagined..we thought of one way and something else happened' Maan said looking at Geet who was laughing making funny faces at Sia.
'ha bhai..' Vikrant said looking at Meera who was looking at Geet saying something 'wherever we are is because of our decisions.. we love someone,, someone hates us.. Life puts us in places to make new decisions and often the opposite happens to what we think' Vikrant said looking at Meera in love. Meera looked up at Vikrant had an eyelock.
'Meeraaa' Geet said
