It was a warm summer's day. A young girl around the age of 10 was sitting with her father in the garden on a picnic mat having a lovely picnic.
'Papa you will never leave me na'
'Never' :e smiled at her and kissed her forehead. they continued with their ppicnic. the girl closes her eyes and then opens them and had transformed into a young woman. It was the same day, same weather, same atmosphere. She was sitting smiling at her father looking at him when he stood up. The girl frowned
'Papa where are you going? you said you will never leave me' the girl asked scared.
'Im sorry Geetu i have to go' he said kissing her forehead walking away. Geet got up and ran after her father who dissapeared into the horizon. She falls down on her knees and weeps. she finds her location has changed , she looks left and right and sees people dressed in white and in tears. She looks ahead of her and sees her father's body wrapped in white. she sees his picture with a garland around it. She screams
'Paaapaaa' She wakes up in sweat and tears screaming for her father. Geet sat up and saw Maan infront of her. Maan looked at her and walked towards her. Geet started to cry and Maan came and asked her
'are you okay?' He asked sitting next to her. Without warning, Geet turned to Maan and hugged him.
'papa.. why did he leave me? He promised he would never leave why did he?' Geet cried. Maan patted her on the back.
'Geet if people have left us it doesnt mean they are not with us. But in our hearts. They are watching over us every minute' Maan explained. Geet looked at him with a tear ful and innocent eyes
'sachi' She asked like a child. Maan smiled at her cute form and smiled and nodded.
They store eachother for a while when Geet screamed.
'bachaaooo bachaooo kidnap kidnap.. yeh zaalim singh khurana has kidnapped me' Maan was shocked and on top of that annoyed. He grabbed her and shushed her by covering her mouth.
'Tum paagal ho kya?' He asked.
'Then what am I doing here? you kidnapped me? I knew you wanted revenge but kidnapping me... '
'SHUT UP' Maan screamed. Geet became quiet.
'You fainted remember' Maan said. Geet flashbacked to the days event and smiled nervously.
'woh.. I ...here alone..' Geet fumbled.
'Would you rather I left you on the streets alone ?' asked Maan annoyed.
'Thank you. Urm I guess I should be going home now' Geet said standing up. She took a few steps and stumbled. Maan was by her side holding her.
'You can't even stand properly..' He said annoyed holding her hand.
'Sir mujhse sach main is baar chakar aaraha hai' Geet said holding her head sitting down on the bed. 'Subha se kuch nahi kaya maine aapke waja se'
Maan looked at her
'meri waja se?'
'ha aur nahi to kya. How much work you gave me!' She complained.
'tik hai. I'll order some food.' MAan said reaching for his phone when Geet screamed.
'hai rabba. Its 1am. How will I go home. Meera to paagal hogaye hogi' Geet exclaimed holding her hand on her forehead. Maan rolled his eyes.
'I've already told her your here and fine with me when she rang your phone' Maan said.
'Was she okay? I mean when you called her..was she planning to kill me?' asked Geet cutely. Maan chuckled.
'Well seems like someone else apart from me wants to kill you too' Maan laughed. Geet laughed too.
The dinner arrived. Maan watched Geet eat and then told her to sleep promising to take her home in the morning.
The following morning in Mumbai.
'What do you mean you don't know where Dev is? Its been almost 3 years. And that Geet is missing too.' A woman screamed into the telephone.
'Maa'am but we have news of a person found 3 years ago at abc hospital. IT fits the description you have said' The person replied back.
'Okay send me the details' The woman replied.
'Dev I hope its you...' The woman prayed.
In Delhi Geet woke up with the first rays of sunlight.
'Good morning babaji' She smiled. When Maan walked in.
'Sir aap?' She questioned. Maan just rolled his eyes at her.
'Geet this is my room if you noticed. I slept in the guest bedroom. Now quickly get up and I'll drop you home'
'Ok'
The drive home was silent. Maan was staring at Geet when Geet spoke
'Sir.. your not that bad you know' Geet said. Maan turned to her and said
'matlab?'
'matlab that you hate me so much but you still cared for me' Geet smiled
'Don't take this the wrong way Geet.. but I don't want labour unions after me If I kept a worker alone on the streets at night'
'what.. aap dusht danav'
'GEET'
'kya Geet' Geet said annoyed. When her phone rang.
'Hello' Geet answered.
'Geet kaha hai tu?' Meera asked.
'Nearly home kyun?'
'kyun ki meri sagai teh hogai.. Yash ke saath'
'KYAAA?' Geet screamed making Maan break the car harshly. He glared at her.
'ha...'
'Sagai.. wow Yash ki' Geet smiled. At that moment Maan phone rang.
'Hello'
'Maan my engagment is fixed to the love of my love' Yash said.
'Congrats dude...'
'Thanks.. finally I'll introduce you to the girl I want to marry' Yash smiled.
'Whats her name?' asked Maan.
'Woh Geet ki...' The line cut off.
'Hello Hello...' Maan re rang but the phone was cut off.
'He turned to Geet and heard her say 'meri sagai ...yash ke saath' Maan was shocked. He realised what Yash said. IT made sense that Yash knew Geet from before as he saw in office. And also Geet speaking happily. Unknown to Maan.. Geet had said 'Teri sagi yani meri sagai...' Meera had said 'tum Yash ke saath shopping jana'
'Yash ke saath' Geet asked. Maan thought of it as a statement as he didn't know what Meera side of the conversation. Something pricked his heart to know that Geet was getting engaged to Yash. His heart was feeling hurtful.
'Sir I'm so excited for the engagement' Geet smiled. Maan just drove.
'Sir aren't you.. apki dost ki sagai hai?' She asked.
'Geet your home is here go.. and be at office in an hour' MAan said sternly dropping Geet off and driving off.
