"I told you that I will still get to see you Geet..." He walks toward the wall where a projector displayed her face and everything else that she does in the room. "Now, you will be in front of my eyes 24/7 and soon I will be inside the house with you forever.." He outlines her face with his fingers slowly.."I will know whatever you are doing..whatever you are thinking..everything..."
He was Maan Singh Khruana-no one could stop him without his will and no one would espeically stop him from doing what he pleases. He was glad that his fear is enough to make some people shiver in fear...enough to make them say yes and that came in handy when he made his own servants place cameras around the house and rooms without anyone noticing anything...his Dadima can play any games she wants at the end he will win.
He changes in the gym into his tracks while looking at Geet's sleeping face...the window of the room was open as the wind gently blew her hair around her face..one piece of strand was stuck on his lips...he wanted to be in the room so that he could remove the hair...he wanted to feel her..slowly he touches her lips, running his fingers on top of her strands..he saw her opening her eyes looking around for something...Maan grabs the chair to watch her...
Geet was lying on the bed with closed eyes trying to fall asleep but couldn't...something was bothering her...she had made the decision of staying back with Dadima but only she knows how hard it will for her to know that the person responsible is living close by. She hates him more then anything but still can't manage to get him out of her head. His face keeps popping inside her head..the wink and the smirk he gave her while leaving..what did that mean?
As far as she knows Maan-he is not the type to give up so easily and espeically the type to listen to someone espeically Dadima. There has to be a plan but what? She just laid on the bed thinking about everything when she felt his presence as if he was here with her right now, touching her lips looking at her closely...she opens her eyes looking around the room but no one was there...she touches the side of the bed where he would normally sleep but it was empty..."What is happening? How could I feel his presence?" She touches her lips where she felt his touch..she removes the hair that was stuck to her lips tying it in a pony tail...
Maan laughs seeing her look around..."ohh Geet so you feel my presence?" (He raises his arm to look at his hand) "there must be something right Geet that you can feel my presence..what would you call this Geet?" (He gets up) "Anyways, whatever the name you give it I don't care...as long as you are in front of me I don't care about anything or anyone..."
He closes the gym door toward his bedroom, where Geet's pictures were hung everywhere...a projector continued to play across from his bed...Maan lays down looking at her as she stared out the window...he looks at his watch.."ohh Geet when are you going to be up and keep me up? Go to sleep..." (he looks at the right side of the bed that was empty...he touches it...) "When will I be able to feel you again Geet?" (he leans over to that side hugging the pillow...) "I am missing you..."
The whole night, it was difficult for Maan to sleep...he felt so empty..even more now then before when she had run away from home. But now the situation is different, now he knows that she is close by to him but yet she is unreachable...that one thing kept him up all night...he just stared at her face while she slept the whole night peacefully.
There would be some moments when she would toss and turn in her sleep dreaming about something...thinking about something...He wanted to get inside her head but like other times he would yet again be unsuccessful in knowing her deep thoughts...he looks at her face with the projector facing the ceiling...she was like the moon where you could stare at all night long and not get bored...Finally, after great difficulty he managed to sleep keeping her in his thoughts all night long...tomorrow was going to be a different day..he smiles
Geet woke up in the morning feeling restless...the whole night she felt like she was being watched...whenever she would sleep she would feel his eyes on her..."What is happening? He is not here so then how he can watch me?" With that thought she tried to console herself but still the feelings wouldn't go away.
Often in the middle of the night she would open her eyes slowly and just wait..wait for his shadow to show itself up from the dark corners...she would lie still in the bed just waiting to hear any noise..but nothing happened...she didn't know why but she wanted him to show up..she wanted him to come in front of her face..some part of her wanted him to at least try but her hopes have been crushed so many times that it was futile to wish for something that never was going to come true.
Geet came down for breakfast after getting ready...something was different..as she was coming down the stairs she saw everyone sitting in a circle..."what is going on?" Everyone looks at Geet with a smile while she tries to smile back but couldn't...all her happiness, what she believed in, what she wanted, her hopes, dreams, everything had died at that moment when she was in the hospital...she didn't knew who she was anymore...what she was doing here but she knew her purpose...to live in this world for Dadima...Geet knew that Dadima needed her just like she needed her but not for the same reasons as her...Geet had no hope for Maan anymore..whether he reforms or not she couldn't care less...She now knew who he was and at this point it was too late for him to change anything but can she tell Dadima that?
She has so much hope for her and her grandson but should she say that there is no hope anymore? Does she have the rights to crush her dreams? Her dreams have been crushed so brutally by him that there is no chance of reforming them..she finds herself immune to this dream world where once she used to live in...her dreams have been turned into nightmare...the same nightmare that she finds herself back again and again...the same nightmare that never seems to end NOT while he is around...Can she do the same with Dadima?
Dadima looks at her with tears as she brings in front the person responsible for those tears...Vicky. There he was standing in front of her just as she had always envisioned him as but something was different...he was dressed just like before..the same shorts, the same shirt but something was missing. She stood there waiting for him to say something..waiting for him to come hug her but he didn't...he just stood there looking at her. Then it hit her...he was just like her now..there was nothing in his eyes, no happiness just pain..this broke Geet's heart way worse then what she had experienced before.
Slowly, she took some steps toward him...these four steps felt so heavy...guilt took over her body...she was responsible for him..she had promised him she would be there for him, she had to rescue him but she failed..she failed to keep one thing that kept her happy, that made her smile, who was there for her...she failed...today she realized how much her life has been changed..the storm didn't pass yet...there was one more obstacle that she had to overcome and god knows how many more to come later on.
Slowly, she bends down to face him..she touches his face to make sure the Vicky she was seeing in front of her was really him. She looked into his eyes for something but nothing came..he just stood there like a statue looking at her..Dadima came up from behind...
"he must be tired from his trip.."
Geet: How did he get here? No one knew where he was...
"I don't know...we had just received a call that he is coming...I immediately sent one driver to pick him up..." (she hugs Vicky) "I am just happy that he is back..now I will make sure you don't leave either...Nakul please bring him upstairs..."
Geet (stands up) umm Dadima I will take him...(she holds his hand as they both walked silently upstairs toward his room...she makes him sit on the bed while sitting right next to him..she cups his face forcing herself to smile...)
"What would you like to have? Do you know there is a surprise for you...very soon we are going to have a new guest here that will play with you all day...Do you know what that could be?" (she paused waiting for him to react...Vicky brings up his hands touching her hands...Geet gets happy seeing him react a little...he brings her hands down with anger...)
"You didn't come..." (Tears starts to flow down his eyes as he looks at her with pain and anger) "you said you would but you didn't...I hate you...I don't want to talk to you anymore..."
Geet (tried to hold his hand but he pushes them away) Vicky that is not true..do you know I was in London..I sent someone to your school but your school principal said that you were there...
"Lies! I was there...if you had came then you would've known...leave me alone..." (He goes under his blanket covering himself..Geet dejectedly got off the bed walking toward the door...the bitter truth...he was right...she should've went there herself to look for him...she failed...)
Geet marches down the stairs ignoring everyone toward the outhouse...Maan sat at the dining table reading the newspaper when Geet barges in...
