"Who are you"
Maan says to the person standing in front of him, who by the way, looked exactly like him but was different from him in so many ways. For starters, he was wearing all white, the color that he detests the most while he wore all black. The look alike smiled something that he doesn't know how to do, there was something in his eyes besides from anger and hatred like himself, his eyes were calm, composed, filled with kindness and love perhaps..
Maan couldn't understand what was going on...who was this persona and why this person wasn't scared of him...but he knew one thing...he needed answers...Maan looks at him with anger asking again who he was but instead of getting a response..his look alike just laughed out loud...his laughter echoed every corner of the wall before disappearing...Maan looks around for him...
"Am right here..." (he claps his hands behind Maan...Maan turns around looking at him with anger..the guy just starts laughing again pointing at Maan)
"What is so funny!" (he roared in anger...the look alike looks at him with a smile...)
"you...you are so funny...Didn't know you had that sense of humor"
"I made no joke...tell me who are you or else" (Maan goes toward the towel that was hanging in the corner...his look alike grabs the towel throwing it toward Maan..Maan grabs it in the air before it could hit his face...)
"you really don't know? I didn't know that Maan Singh ooppss sorry I meant THE GREAT Maan Singh Khruana can be so dumb...but anyway since you asked I am you..."
Maan walks around him with his arms closed...while his other look "alike" looks at him with a smile..."You are nothing like me..."
"you are right..I am nothing like you..I am not angry and hateful all the time and most importantly no one fears me...I am more happy, content and more lovable..you know completely opposite of you but anyway I have a purpose of why I came here"
"Ohh really what would that be?"
"see what you are doing...look around and see
Maan roles your eyes..."see what? I have nothing to see...in fact have you seen my kingdom, the people who are beneath me, the people who are with me and in fact I am going to have an heir to my kingdom who will take care of this kingdom after me..."
The look alike shakes his head with anger..."Why don't you get it..why don't you see what you are doing to people around you?" (he holds Maan's hand dragging him to a room...he opens the door where Geet was lying on the bed still with open eyes...) LOOK at her...look at what you have done to her...(Maan looks at her state)
Look at her state..look at how she is not responding to anyone anymore..she doesn't even react to the kid being alive...does she look happy to you? Does she? What was her fault? Open your heart and see what you are doing...look at the pain you have caused her, your Dadima and your little brother...
Maan sits down next to Geet looking at her state carefully. The look alike holds her hand raising her arm slowly, while Maan look at his actions, he drops the arm on the bed lifeless. "Did you see any reaction coming from her? This is what you have done to her..." (he walks around Maan standing right behind him...he bends down close to his ear whispering..) "looks like your child won't be alive for too long..."
He laughs...Maan turns around to punch him but he disappeared..Maan looks at Geet holding her hand in the air like his look alike did dropping it on the bed lifeless..no reaction from her again...
Dadima comes in the room holding the food tray...she was shocked to see him there sitting next to Geet looking at her, he kept raising her arm and dropping her arm on the bed..she puts the tray on the side table, walking toward him...she holds Geet's hand when he rose it again the air...Maan stops and looks at Dadima...
Dadima: Let go of her hand...you don't even deserve to touch her anymore let alone be near her...what are you looking at? I bet you are happy to see her like this...
Maan (stands up) Dadima
Dadima: DON'T call me Dadima anymore...I told you before and I will tell you again you are dead to me, therefore, our relationship from now on is over as well. Now, leave this room while I try to make her eat something...I don't want the kid to suffer because of your actions...now leave...
Maan goes out of the room with sadness...he looks at Geet one more time before closing the door slowly..."learn to be a good husband, a grandson and a brother only then you can be a good father..." he sat in his office thinking about what Dadima said...what was happening to him? Why does he feel sad and somewhat responsible...why does he feel this guilt? He closes his eyes while running his fingers through his hair frustratingly...
"Feeling guilty?" (Maan opens his eyes to see his look alike staring at him with a smile...) "OR were you thinking of new plan to make her suffer more...another punishment perhaps" (he leans against the table resting his head on his arms while looking at Maan with smirk..Maan grabs the the paper weight in his hand throwing it toward his look alike...he ducks in time with a laugh...) wow that was close... hitting me will not change the truth..."
"JUST LEAVE RIGHT NOW!"
He shrugs his shoulders and waves.."As you wish I am going away forever..enjoy this life of loneliness...unless you do something...bye..."
Maan leans back closing his eyes, thinking about what to do..after a long time of thinking..he picks up the phone...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dadima sat on the bed after making Geet sit on the bed..she puts the food tray on her lap taking a spoon full of the soup she made especially for her..she holds the spoon in front of her..."Please Geet eat something..it won't be good for the baby...say something..." No response came from Geet...Dadima puts the tray on the table...she shakes Geet to make her come out of her state..."Wake up Geet...you are going to kill your kid if you don't come out of this...Geet..."
She blinks and looks at Dadima with tears...Dadima smiles seeing some kind of reaction from her..."Geet your kid is alive...touch your stomach can't you feel the kid inside you? Come out of this shock...I am with you...I won't let him come near you again...I will protect you from now on...(Dadima hugs her...Geet slowly brings her hands up hugging her back...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Please let us in...Geet is in there..we need to see her..its important..."
SG: You cannot go inside at all!
"Call your owner right now! I am her father and I will not leave until I see my daughter...now open the door..."
SG: Am sorry but I can't let anyone in without sir's permission
"Then call him now!"
"What is going on out here?" (All turn to look at the person standing behind the security)
