Pyaar tumne kya kiya?

Khuarana Mansion...

Geet Handa enters the beautiful marble marvel, Khurana Mansion, as she takes her first step in she feels very bad that this would be the last time she is entering KM, and she night not come back forever...

All her dreams are shattered, how she wished to be a part of this family, making this place her permanent abode, more than the comforts that this place offered, she liked the two most affectionate and lovable souls that reside this place, (not two, it's only one now, she has found the real face if the other pretty ugly), Geet wanted to become a part of their life, she wanted to be the one and only girl in Mr.Khurana's life and she has always dreamed about entering the house as a Dulhan...yes, she wanted to be Mrs.Khuarna once, but as she thinks about it now, she hates herself for being carried away by the fake honesty and fake love of that MSK...

Geet thinks..."mere liye sachayi se badkar kuch nahi hai, jo sach hai wahi sahi hai, aur hummara pyar sacha hai issiliye ye sahi hai"

Wah, kitna achcha joot bolthe the? Haina?

Kya sach? Koi sach nahi hai? sab joot hai? jaata pyar, joota rishta...

As she thinks about the betrayal she couldn't bear it anymore and even this place, which used to be the heaven for her till she found out the truth about Mr.Khurana, is suffocating for her...

She is here only to bid good bye to Dadi, the really good soul, atleast dadi's love isn't fake...

Dadi loved Geet not just b'coz she served her without any hic ups, but b'coz of her innocence, simplicity and Honesty...

Geet didn't keep any secrets, she told everything about herself to dadi...

She told about her marriage, her fraud runaway hubby who looted her family and left then penniless...and about her father's debts that he borrowed for her marriage and also about her vow to put the culprit behind the bars...

And for that matter, she told even about her being cheated by that rascal to MSK, she trusted him so much and what she got back?

Dadi: Geet beta, hummare liye toh rukh sakthe, haina?

Geet: nahi dadi, ab mein yahan ek pal bhi nahi reh sakthi

Dadi: achcha beta, jaise aapki marzi, lekhin iss Dadi ko mat bhoolna

Dadi is in tears...

Geet hugs dadi...: nahi Dadi, mein aapko kaise bhool sakthi? Aap ne toh mujhe sahara diya, aur sab kuch diya

Geet stops...Dadi only wished to see Geet happy, it's all MSK's fault, what would poor Dadi do? Haina?

Dadi doesn't know anything that happened between MSK and Geet and she still wishes Geet stayed back...she is puzzled that what might have gone wrong and why is Geet so stuborn to leave the place and her job all of a sudden...

This only MSK knows, for he is the reason behind all this, haina?

Geet leaves with a heavy heart with full of happy and a few bitter memories which she would never want to remember about this place and the people...

As Geet looks at Maan's room she is reminded of the beautiful days that she shared with him, even though he also turned out to be a liar, his love was fake, yet her love was real, yes, she did love him with all her heart and soul but now she hates him as much as she loved him...

How can she forget what he did to her? She places her hands in her tummy and sheds tears...

Isss ke liye toh Geet MSK ko kabhi bhi maaf nahi kar sakthi, haina babaji?

As Geet steps out of KM for the last time she turns and looks back...

She may not get another chance to visit this place again, and she doesn't wish to come back either...

Geet thinks about her entry to KM...

The first time she came here was when Dadi got ill and she came to help Dadi...

She just saw an Ad on paper and came to KM, she knew it was a tough task, nursing and helping an old lady who has just suffered a stroke and is partially paralysed...

It was just temporary but Dadi needed someone's help till she could stand on her own...

MSK being the only other person residing with Dadi as they are the only family, MSK who hates women like anything had to hire a women to help hs Dadi, he had no other option...

But he strictly mentioned that the women be more than 40, ready to stay with Dadi all the time, preferably one with no other commitments, like family ...

You know women, they always mess up with their own life and also the life of the men in their life...

Maan is fed up with all sentiments and he doesn't want another headache...

Geet did know that she is not the one they would prefer yet she had no other choice, she was so desperate to get a job so that she could support her family...

When she came to KM, Maan was at KC and she met Dadi straight away and got the job...

Though Dadi too felt that she is too young to handle such a responsibility Geet pleaded Dadi and told her about her desperation that Dadi immediately hired her and sent her back with some money in advance...

Geet was happy and she said she had already come prepared and she can settle down immediately...

Dadi aks Nakul to show her the guest room, and Geet settles there comfortably...

When Maan came to know that it's a 18 yr old girl whom Dadi has picked he was so upset and he always looked at her with suspicion...

The first thing he did was he shifted to OH so that he could live in peace, he hates intruders and always loves to be left on his own without any disturbances, specially women...

The only women he loves is his Dadi and he had to tolerate that girl for his Dadi...

It was like hide and seek for the first few days...

Maan tried to ignore that there is someone at the house initially and he never even looked at her face...

Once when Geet went to get the hot water bag for Dadi Maan come to see dadi and Geet bumped into him at the door...

She didn't expect him at that time as it's office hours...

Usually Maan comes to see Dadi in the evening and hangs with her till dinner when Geet gets her time out, she rests at that time and gets back to be with Dadi for the night...

They never had the chance to meet each toher and even they had to come across each ither anytime Maan simply ignored her...he never bothered to even ask her name...

It's only Dadi who kept telling him about Geet and how nice a girl she is all the time...

Maan still was skeptical and he warned Dadi not to trust a girl anyway...

By this time dadi had printed a ideal girl image about Geet in Maan's mind, the girl sent by God to save Dadi to quote Dadi's words...Dadi keeps saying "Geet si the Angel God sent to me"

Maan catches hold of a falling Geet and he looks into her scared and innocent eyes for the first time...

Maan couldn't take his eyes off immediately b'coz there is something about those eyes that is magnetic, once you look into them you could not take your eyes off easily, they have some power that bind you...

Maan found out later that it's her honest and purity that is reflected in those eyes, her eyes speak for her heart...her eyes show what's in her heart...there is no filter what so ever, what is there in her mind shows in her eyes and also her words...

There is no secret about her...she speaks her mind without any second thoughts which is dangerous but Maan likes that raw honesty, which is more like him...

Though Maan's mind didn't change much and he still hated women and never believed he could trust them in his life he had a soft corner for this girl...she was a unique specimen...

She doesn't even qualify to be a women, maybe she is still young and so not contaminated...she is as pure as honey...

After that they regularly exchanged glances and became familiar to their eyes and yet they were still strangers to each other...

It was only dadi who acted as a bond between them telling about the one to the other whenever they were with dadi...

Dadi spent her time with these two only and naturally she told about the other's story when they were with Dadi...

Maan came to know that she has been married and her husband left her stranded at the airport leaving her penniless...he immediately sympathised with her...she is also a broken soul...there is some connection between them...

Geet got used to the silent Khurana and she respected his wish and never disturbed him and neither did she want to know about him...

She was all held up in the case and only then dadi suggested Maan could help her...

Dadi told Maan to help Geet case and Maan asked Adi to look into the matter...

Initially Maan didn't take her seriously but later Maan felt guilty that he owed this to that girl for all the service she is doing to dadi...

Maan gets the details from Adi and he himself goes to his lawyer friend and asks him to take her case...

He is a leading lawyer and also the most expensive...'when Geet came to know about this she was afraid she can't afford him he as she is used to telling her mind as it is she goes and meets Maan...

Maan is surprised to see her and he thinks that she has come to thank him...

Geet: woh mein

Geet doesn't know how to tell this for she had not even spoken to him once...

What will he think of her?

All these days she didn't even bother to say a halo, or say anything about Dadi...

Now she is here to talk to him as it is her personnel matter. How selfish it is?

Geet is embarrassed,...

But she didn't as for his help, then why is he doing this?

Now she has to stop this, for she can't accept it?

Where will she go for all the money?

She can take it from him, but she can't pay him back even if she works for him for a life time...

It's not fair to ask for such a huge sum just b'coz she is serving his Dadi, haina?

And she gets paid for that mind you, she is not doing it as a service...

Seeing her looking embarrassed and struggling to gather strength to speak to him Maan tries to help her...

Maan: tumme thanks kehne ki koi zaroorat nahi, tum jaa sakthi ho

Geet: nahi

Geet still stands and stares him...

Now Maan is embarrassed...ek ladhki aaise usske kamre mein aake usse gurke rehthi toh?

Maan: tumne suna nahi meine kya kaha? You can go

Geet won't go without telling him what she came to tell him, right?

Now it's Maan's turn to stare her...

And in the process their eyes meet and the first official eye contact...mahi...

Maan is taken aback at his own behavior and he gets angry with himself...poor Geet had to be his stress reliever...

Maan: tum kay samajthe ho apne aapko?

Geet is puzzled, what happened?

Maan: meinne sirf Dadi ke liye ye sab kiya hai, kissi aur ke liye nahi, samjhi tum? Now, get lost and leave me alone, will you?

Maan almost pleads with his eyes not to get him into trouble...

Geet: aapko kuch bhi karne ki zaroorat nahi, mein sab sambal sakthi hoon

Atlast Geet tells what she wanted to convey him...

But the choice of words?

Maan gets angry now...: what?

Geet: haan, mujhe aapki kissi bhi madat ki zaroorat nahi

Geet leaves without even waiting for his response...

Maan: iss ki ye himmat?

Mujhe attitude dikhathi? MSK ko, the epitome of attitude?

Maan follows and stops her by holding her hand...

Geet turns back in surprise...

Geet: aap?

Maan wouldn't let her go...

Maan: tum samajthi kya apne aapko?

Geet: aapko koi galat fami hui hai

Maan: nahi mein sab jaantha hoon, aakhir tum bhi toh ek aurat ho

Geet's feminist side is insulted...

Geet: haan haan, mein bhi samajgayi aapko? Aakhir mard toh mard hi hothe hai, dokhebaaz

Geet thinks of that rascal and is pissed off...

Maan drags her to the door and throws her out...

Maan: out , just get lost

Geet is stunned...

She runs up and packs her things...

Nakul tells this about Dadi...

She goes to tell dadi that she is leaving...

Dadi pleads her to stay back and she has surely misunderstood Maan...

She asks Geet to stay till they find a substitute,Geet feels that she must stay till then...

Dadi asks Geet and Maan about the fight...

Maan tells her the half story the version that he interpreted...

Geet tells Dadi her story which she wanted to tell Maan...

Dadi has a good laugh listening to them...

Dadi asks Geet to go and tell everything clearly to Maan and she also warns Maan to be a little patient before jumping into conclusions...

Geet: mein koi MSK nahi hoon?

Maan is again irritated...ye ladhki kabhi n ahi sudhregi?

Ye kabhi bhi seedhe seedhe mujhse baat nahi kar sakthi?

But Maan likes her confidence, aaj tak kssi ki himmat nahi hui MSK ke samne aaise baat karne ki...

Maan: what? tum seedhe seedhe baat nahi kar sakthi?

Geet: I mean, mein itni ameer nahi ki mein uss lawyer ko afford karoon

Maan: tumme paise kaun mang raha hai?

Geet: meinne bhi kissi se beeg nahi manga

Bang comes the reply...

Maan: mein tumse baat nahi kar saktha

Maan tries to leave and Geet goes and blocks his way...

Again Maneet collide on each toher head to head and that deadly eyelock...

Geet: meri baat puri nahi hui

Maan: what?

Ye kya ho raha hai? ab toh Maan ko hi shak ho gaya ki yahan ka boss kaun hai?

Geet: mein kissi ki ehsaan nahi ke sakthi

Maan: mujhe bhi kissi ki madat karne ki koi shok nahi, meinne wahi kiya jo Dadi ne kaha, ab tum dadi se hi baat karlo, aur mujhe chain se jeene do

Maan is so disturbed...kyun ye ladhki bar bar mere samne aake mujhe pareshaan kar rahi hai?

Dadi then tells Geet that she need not worry about the money and it's only Dadi who requested Maan to help Geet and this is ony for dadi's satisfaction and Geet should not refuse it...

But Maan really wants to help this girl, he always supports justice and he knows this girl needs his help to get justice...

He uses his force and gets the culprit sentenced for a lifetime...

Geet starts liking him for all the help he did silently and without any expectations...

She begins to find him more and more attractive...

After Dadi got well she got the job at KC, with Dadi's recommendations...

MSK got back to KM and Geet went to stay at the OH as his secretary...

Then there are those fights and eyelocks and they start to love each other's company and also miss them when they are not around...

Geet comes back to her senses...

Ye kaisa sapna tha? bahut bhura? Haina?

She just wants to forget all this but this is the only thing that is in her mind right now...

As she runs inside the OH to pick her things she comes across Maan working out, no no, MSK venting his anger...

Geet couldn't stop thinking of the past...

Then also just like this Maan was practicing tai chi...

Geet came to get his sign and she is smitten by his charm and his six packs...

"keh na ha Gumsum gumsum gup chup, gumsum gup chup - 2

Halchal halchal ho gayi teri, honth hai tere chup

Khalbal khalbal ho gayi teri, baithi hai tu gupchup

Pyaare pyaare chehre lekar dediya ishaara

Dekha teri aankhon mein hai sapna koi pyaara

Humse gori naa tu sharma, kehde humse zara - 2

That was the period when they kept their feelings to themselves and tries to pretend as if there is nothing between them...

Thought they kept their lips tight their eyes as always merily conversed with each other and made it an open secret that they are madly in love with each toher...

Maan was just waiting for the confirmation...

He wants to know the facts right before he could take the next step...

Maan feels that someone is gazing him...

He has this strange feeling that it's someone very familiar, someone very dear...

It's like he already knew about them and it's just what he was waiting for...

And he doesn't want that person to know that he is aware about their gazing...

He keeps doing his workout and looks for that person...

And he gets a glimpse of those beautiful pair of black pearls, he is overwhelmed...

Yes, yes, yes, it's the same pair he has been playing with all these days, that hide and seek game has come to it's climax now and he has to win this game anyway...

Geet is still hiding and drooling, she can't take her eyes off him and also doesn't want to control her feelings...she wants to savour this moment and cherish it forever...that first reslisation of your love and liking for that special person in your life is worth all this hide and seek, haina?

Kehna hi kya yeh nain ek anjaan se jo mile

Chalne lage mohabbat ke jaise yeh silsile

Armaan naye aise dil mein khile,

Jinko kabhi main naa jaanoon

Voh humse, hum unse kabhi naa mile,

Kaise mile dil naa jaanoon

Ab kya kare, kya naam le,

Kaise unhe main pukaaroon

As Geet hides behing the curtains Maan has found her...

That time Maan catches her red handed and you know what happens with that jumka...

Maan converses as he pretends to put on her jumka...

He just wants to talk with her...

Maan: Geet

Geet: hmm

Maan: tumme mujhe dekhe bag kyun gayi?

Geet: nahi

Maan: mein sab jaantha hoon

Geet: aaise kuch nahi hai

Maan: joot

Geet is silent...

Maan: dekha, mein jaantha hoon ki tum joot nahi bol sakthi

Geet: woh mein'

Geet tries to say something...

Maan stops her by putting his fingers on her lips...

Maan: tumme kuch kehne ki zaroorat nahi Geet

Geet looks into his eyes...those deep dark eyes that make her fall on her knees...

BGM...Kehna hai kya...

Maneet eyelock...

Geet is still puzzled...she tries to talk...

Maan: chup bilkul chup

Geet looks at him in utter confusion...

Maan: tumme jo bhi kehna hai ye tummare shattir aakhon ne mujhe bahut pehle hi keh chuke hai, aur aaj bhi mein jab inn aankhon mein dekhtha hoon mujhe wahi baat nazar aatha hai

Geet pushes off his fingers...

She doesn't want him to say anything further...she tries to escape...

She is embarrassed...

Maan stops her...

Geet: mujhe jaana hai

Maan: tum nahi jaa sakthi

Geet: dadi bhulayenge

Maan: bhulane do

Geet: koi aayega

Maan: aane do

Geet loses her patience...

Geet: aapko kya chahiye?

Maan: kuch nahi

Geet: phir mujhe kyun rokhthe ho?

Maan: meinne kahan rokha?

Maan has freed her...

Geet blushes...

Maan: toh mein sahi tha

Geet: kya?

Maan: you love me

Geet: ye kaise baat hui? Sab I love you kehthe hai aur aap?

Maan: isse kya farak padtha?

Geet: farak padtha hai sir

Maan: achcha?

Geet: ab toh aapko patha chal gaya ki mein aapse woh karthi hoon

Maan: woh woh kya?

Geet: mein kyun boloon? Aapko toh pehle hi patha haina? ab aap hi bolo?

Maan: toh tumme patha nahi?

Maan inches forward with his killer looks...

Geet: woh mein

Maan: joot mat bolo Geet, mein jaantha hoon ki tumme bhi patha hai

Maan pretends to be angry...

Geet: aaise koi pyar kartha hai kya?

Maan: hmm toh tumme patha tha?

Maan hugs her...: I love you Geet

Geet is all teary looking at this Maan...

Maan finds her and comes and catches hold of her...

Maan: tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?

Geet: mein apne samaan lene aayi thi

Maan: phirse joot?

Geet is shocked...issko sab patha chal gaya?

Maan is married and is waitng for divorce but he didn't tell her about it as he thought it's a closed chapter in his life whch he never wants to reopen, he is happy with Geet now and he is just waiting to get married after the legal procedures are over...

They were happy together and they love each other and trust each other so much that they readily submitted each other to their passions one beautiful day...

Geet got pregnant and Maan is happy and asks dadi to fix their marriage after 3 months...

Geet is puzzled, why the gap?

She comes to know of Sameera and the legal problems from dadi and she is hurt that Maan didn't trust her and so hid that from her...

Sameera comes back and refuses to give divorce...

Geet believes that there is no place for her in Maan's life...

But Maan syas that she can't leave him as she is carrying his child...

For that Geet says that she no longer bears his child as she killed her child and so she is not bound to stay with him anymore and that she is free to go now...so saying she makes arrngements to leave and Maan didn't stop her too...

After knowing about the child Maan had no reason to stop her and let her go...

Geet: mein joot nah bolthi

Maan: toh kya mein joot boltha hoon?

Maan holds her harder and harder...her bones wouldn't bear it anymore...

Geet: haan

Maan: Geet, abhi bhi waqt hai, sach sach bathao, tum mujhse pyar nahi karthi

Geet: nahi karthi

Geet looks elsewhere...

Maan: aaise nahi, mere aankhon mein dekhke bolo

Geet looks into his eyes and yells with a pain full heart...: nahi karthi

Maan: tum mujhse pyar karthi hai

Geet: nahi karthi

She falls on her feet without being able to bear it, she gives away, she lets her emotions off...

She cries like a baby beneath his feet...all her anger has vanished and there is only pain that he hurt her...

Maan couldn't see her in tears,...he immediately bends down and wipes off her tears...

Maan: tum jaanthe ho ki mujhe tere aasoon se sakt nafrat hai, lekhin phir bhi mere samne hi aake aaise kyun karthe ho Geet? kyun?

Maan shouts his heart out...

Geet: ye asoo toh apne diya hai, aapne mujhse kyun chupaya ki aap shadi shuda hai? aap ki e pathini hai

Maan: pathni, kaun pathni?

Geet: meine aapko sab sach bathaya, meinne toh apne joote shadhi ke barein mein bhi bathaya tha, lekhin aap ne?

Maan: tum ne issiliye bathaya ki tum usse badla lena chathi thi, lekhin jab se tum meri zndagi mein aayi ho meinne toh ussko apne zindagi se puri tarah se nikhal diya tha, aur abhi bhi kehtha hoon ki Sameera is nothing for me, she doesn't exist for me, she's not my past, meinne ussko apne zindagi se dhoor kardhiya hai, mere zindagi mein ab sirf

Maan stops, he can't say it...

Geet: lekhin Sameera wapas aagayi hai

Maan: Geet, yahi hai tummra viswaas? Tumme mujhpe barosa nahi toh kam se kam hummare pyar mein toh barosa hona chahiye Geet, lekhin tumme na hi mujhpe barosa hai na hi mere pyar pe

Geet: aapne mera viswaas thoda hai

Maan: aur tumne?

Geet looks at him...

She can't face those angry eyes...

Maan: tumne kya kiya? hummare pyaar ko hi mar dala? Aakhir tumne aaisa kyun kiya Geet? nafrat hai mujhe tumse, I hate you Geet, nafrat hai mujhe apne aapse ki meine kabhi tumme pyar kiya tha?

Kismat ne Geet ke saath ye kaisa khel khela hai?

Chahthe hue bhi iss pyar ko Geet kabhi nahi bhool sakthi, kabhi bhi nahi, jab tak Geet zinda hai ye pyar bhi usske saath jiyega, haina?

Maan gets mad...

Maan goes and hits his hands on the wall...

He vents his anger on Geet like that...

He keeps hiting and his fingers are bleeding...

Geet couldn't see him in pain...

Geet: bas karo ye kya ho gaya hai aapko

Maan wouldn't listen...

Maan continues to hurt himself...

Geet: aap aaise kyun karthe ho? pagal ho gaye ho aap

Maan: mein pagal ho gaya hoon, haan pagal hoon main

Maan starts hitting even harder...

Geet pleads him...: bas karo, mein aur nahi she sakthi

Maan: kya? achcha natak hai Geet

Geet sits there silently crying...

Maan: tumme ek bar bhi socha ki mein ye sab kaise seh patha? Tumne aaisa kyun kiya Geet?

Maan gets wilder and wilder...

Geet: meinne kuch nahi kiya

Maan stops hearing that...

Maan catches hold of her and makes her look into his eyes...

Maan: kya kaha tumne?

Maan: kuch nahi

Maan: Geet, mein tumse sach pooch raha hoon

Geet is silent...

Maan: Geet, jawab do, kya kaha tumne abhi abhi

Geet: meinne kuch nahi kiya

Maan: haan

Geet nods her head...

Maan falls on his knees and touches her tummy...

Maan: tumne kuch nahi kiya?

Geet: nahi

Maan hugs her...: mein jaantha hoon Geet, tum aaise kabhi nahi kar sakthi

Geet: kyunki meinne sache dil se aapko pyar kiya hai

Maan: meinne bhi Geet, lekhin mera pyar itna kamzoor tha ki tumne ek paraye aurat ke liye mujhe chodne ki faisla ki, lekhin ab mein tumme itna pyar karoonga ki tum kabhi bhi mujhe chodne ki soch bhi nahi sakthi

Geet: mein jaanthi hoon ki aap ka pyar joota nahi ho saktha, issiliye toh mein aapke pyar ke sahare apne puri zindagi jeene ki faisla kiya tha

Geet now touches her tummy and indicates that it's his love, aapka pyar hamesha mere saath rahega

Maan: aur mein bhi

Geet goes and hugs him...

Geet: mujhe maaf kardho, mein aapke bina nahi jee sakthi

Maneet passionate hug...

My beloved

Present (Oct, 2015)

In MG Jail

Guilt is indeed a strong emotion. It is a negative evaluation of the self, one that stems from recognition of a wrong doing, willingness for retribution and the ability to take, or submit to reparative action.

Lord Yash Singh Khurana sat alone in the prison of MG Jail of Delhi. It was the death anniversary of his wife and younger son whom he lost while they were trying to flee from police. Loss of his whole family broke the person he was once and after a period of 18 yrs 11 months, he finally confessed to his crimes and his appeal for death sentence was agreed was his guilt started eating him to the point that he chose death over living a life of extreme pain and remorse. It was least he could do to repent for his sins.

"U have a visitor," the jail-guard informed him. Yash looked over his shoulder to see his attendant Nakul standing outside the prison with a straight face.

"Nakul," Yash whispered. He never thought that one day he would be so pleased to see his servant whom he never acknowledged in his whole sinful life.

"I will not take much of ur left-over time...Tomorrow is ur last day in this world...And it would be wrong to those poor souls whom u mercilessly killed if u spend this night in peace...So, I have a gift for u," Nakul spat out. He came closer to the prison and threw a wedding card and a long scarf of a bride wear towards him.

"Look at it and remember ur sins over and over again...And u dare to close ur eyes for sleeping ,u son of a bitch," Nakul spat out again and rushed out , leaving Yash in shock. He looked at the direction Nakul went away as tears rolled down his cheeks.

"I never slept after that day, Nakul...My son Maan and my daughter Geet haunts me and only death will free me from my cursed life," Yash whispered as his lips trembled.

In Khurana estate (in the garden area)

Nakul was sitting in front of the graves of his children. One of the graves read In memory of a loving son and friend Maan Singh Khurana and the other one read In the memory of loving friend and daughter Geet Singh Khurana'. He was lighting the whole area with candles, but he was not alone. Vicky and some other graduates of London University of Business and Management were present, who used to study with Maan Singh Khurana during his stay in London. Sameera, Geet Singh Khurana's only friend was also present to support Nakul Kaka, as popularly called by Maaneet's friends.

"Today, justice has been served after a long wait of 10 yrs...The one who destroyed Maan and Geet will be hanged till death...But still, the truth remains the same...We are never going to see the beautiful smile of Geet...We are never going to see Maan, a fierce and loyal friend and an amazing person who stood for every right thing and encouraged us to be truthful and honest with one's own feelings," Nakul said in his last speech as tears streamed down the cheeks of everyone. Sameera (Sam) couldn't stop herself anymore and broke down completely. Vicky, her boyfriend rushed towards her and rubbed her back in condolence.

Far away, two souls watched them over. They too seemed to be in pain seeing the pain of their loved ones.

"Maan," one of the souls whispered near his ear.

"They are in so much pain, Geet" Maan whispered back painfully.

"It will be soon over," Geet whispered back, assuring him with her usual soft smile.

"Do u remember our moments?" Maan asked her, facing her beautiful face. He caressed her cheeks, earning a soft moan. Even after death, he had that effect on her.

"I never forgot, my beloved," Geet whispered and then hugged him in firm embrace. They both got lost in their love story that started 28 yrs ago in KM and sadly ended in the same mansion.

Flashback of Maan and Geet's soul started

Past (28 yrs ago) (1987-2015)

The Khurana royal family was the oldest and most prestigious royal families in India.They were the richest and most powerful family among all. The owner of the Khurana Empire "Yash Singh Khurana" was known for his brutal and stubborn nature. Lady Mohini Singh Khurana was the 2^nd wife of Lord Yash Singh Khurana. He saw her in a party and instantly he decided to make her as his own. But there was one problem - she was married. So, he used all his power to break her marriage and then married her later. Lady Mohini and her orphaned ex-husband Mohinder Handa , had a daughter together who was as fair as snow and her eyes were like deep ocean , full of mystery and puzzles. But Mohini left her in care of her ex-husband and never cared to look back. When she married Yash , he was already a father of 2 little boys "Maan and Ranveer" from his 1^st wife Naina.She was never a good mother. Infact , under her care , she spoiled Ranveer , but luckily Maan was saved from her bad influence.

The heir Maan Singh Khurana was the most eligible bachelor of the country and every family wanted to get hold of him in the hope of getting him as their son-in-law, but he was just not interested. Unlike other rich royals, he was very loving, caring, warm, selfless, kind, soft-spoken, highly cultured and disciplined, but at the same time he was very stubborn and introvert. On the other hand, Ranveer Singh Khurana was cunning, fun-loving, reckless, irresponsible, manipulative and very selfish. He was exact replica of his step-mother Lady Mohini Singh Khurana. It was needless to say that both the brothers were extremely good-looking and probably they inherited good-looks and charm from their father Lord Yash Singh Khurana.

Although Maan had every riches of the world, still he was a complete loner. He was never given that love which he always longed from his parents. As he was the heir of the Khurana estate and expected to take over the entire business after Yash, he was sent to London for completing his studies with other royals when he was 14 yrs old. He was always treated as Khurana heir rather than their son. This made him cold & distant.

Set against tall cedar trees, Khurana castle looked majestic. It was set in 1000 acres of land in Delhi. While it was said to have been build 900 yrs ago , the mansion in the premises where Maan Singh Khurana spent most of his time , was build in the late 18^thcentury.

In Khurana castle (study) (1987)

Yash Singh Khurana was dealing with the affairs of his estate when a call disturbed him.

"Hello," Yash answered after dismissing his staffs. He talked for a long 1 hour, sometimes arguing and then he gradually became silent.

"Whose call was that?" Mohini asked him while entering with a servant, carrying their breakfast.

"Advocate of Mohinder Handa," Yash replied twisting his lips.

"What does he want?" she asked in surprise.

"He is dead...His lawyer want to see me," he replied.

"And he has something to offer me," he said titling his head.

After Mohini left her daughter Geet Handa' with Mohinder Handa , he played the role of both Geet's mother and father efficiently. They were happy in their small world. But their happiness was short-lived. A fire broke down in Mohinder's factory destroying every single thing. His house was also mortgaged to a money-lender for his business that completely ruined him. Gradually, it took a toll in his health and he died in a brain stroke. So, when 15 yrs old Geet was waiting in front of her dead father, the advocate of Handa family called Yash Singh Khurana. It was Mohinder's last wish that Yash Singh Khurana adopt Geet as there was no one who could look after his daughter other than Yash Singh Khurana , his only closest relative. Initially, Yash was reluctant, but later agreed as she was Mohini's daughter. Soon within 2 days, Geet Handa became Geet Singh Khurana, the adopted daughter of Yash Singh Khurana. He became her legal guardian.

June (1987)-June (1988)

(Geet= 15 yrs old, Maan=13 yrs old)

In Khurana castle (living room)

Maan saw Geet for the 1^st time when he was 13 yrs old. He remembered how she stepped inside their castle all scared and nervous. Her nervous eyes travelled every corner of the hall as the servants carried her luggage in her new room. Then her doe shaped eyes met his intense gaze and the world stopped for them. He saw her top to bottom and his heart screamed Barbie doll'. His heart told him that the beautiful creation in front of him was sent to earth only for him.

"Who is she dad?" Maan asked softly.

"Ur sister," his dad replied & went away leaving him in a whirlpool of emotions - confusion, shock and anger. He didn't know why he felt betrayed by his parents at that particular moment. It might be because he couldn't digest the fact that she was his sister, not by blood, but by law.

"How could dad bring someone to their home and expect him to accept her as his sister?" he thought angrily and hurriedly packed his school bag and then rushed out giving a last glare to her indicating her u are not welcomed'. She lowered her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks in helplessness and pain. How much she wished that his dad would run back to her and take her in his lap, kissing her tears away. She stood their alone. No one cared whether she was hungry or she was tired or not. Getting no other choice, she started roaming in hope to find someone in that huge castle. Soon she found Nakul kaka, the head attendant of Khurana family, in the kitchen who led her to her new room and also arranged her clothes & made soup for her. She was touched by his love and care and instantly they clicked. From that day onwards, she became the daughter that Nakul Kaka never had.

After some months (in Geet's room)

"Kaka...Why there is no temple in this castle?," Geet asked Nakul who was serving her breakfast.

"No one prays here except young master Maan," he replied calmly.

"Why?" she asked him in surprise.

"Because they think they are superior to Almighty," Nakul replied.

"But it is not good...God will surely punish them," she pouted. Nakul looked at her sharply.

"I am not sure that God will punish them or not...But sometimes the sins of parents affect their children's lives...Hope Maan never has to suffer for his parents' sins," Nakul mumbled.

"Don't worry...I will pray to God not to punish Maan," Geet said. Nakul smiled at her and caressed her head with love.

"She is indeed a pure soul...God bless u, my child," Nakul mumbled and left her to have her breakfast. But she was not hungry. She was eager to see the idol in Maan's room. She had heard earlier from Nakul Kaka that it was an idol of Lord Krishna, made of pure gold. The crown on its head was of diamond and rubies. She wanted to see that idol for once and also wanted to fold her hands in front of it and offer the sweet dish prepared by her. She asked one of the servants about Maan and they informed her that he was in the training ground.

"Where is his room?" she asked again.

"My lady, he lives separately in his mansion on the other side of the garden. Her face lit up instantly and she decided to go to his room in his absence and offer her praying secretly before he comes back. She went out of the castle and reached his mansion. She stood in front of the huge wooden door in confusion whether it would be safe to step inside the lion's den or not.

"The way he always showed his big eyes to me ...Will it be safe to go inside?" she thought. But her strong urge to offer morning prayers to God made her push the huge door and step inside the mansion. She froze seeing the decorations. She had heard that everything in the mansion was according to Maan's taste. He don't like interference of others and even the architects and the interior decorators work according to his wish and never dare to mention their advice.

Inside Maan's mansion

She admired the costly red sofas in the library. The walls held over 10,000 books in different languages and subjects. Her eyes popped out seeing the costly gadgets arranged neatly on the huge table at the centre of the room. She closed the door of the library and let out a deep sigh. Then she again started exploring the mansion and found an intricately carved oak staircase at one side of the saloon that led her to the 11 bedrooms on the 1^st floor. There were 50 bedrooms in the other two floors of the mansion, but only one was used. She peeked from a green door and saw a granite staircase that went down to the servant quarter. She turned and decided to find Maan's room as soon as possible and leave for good.

Finally after a long 45 minutes of search, she found Maan's lavish bedroom. It was huge, much bigger than her home. She observed each corner of his room with her shocked wide hazels. The furnitures of the room were priceless antique pieces, made of mahogany wood. There were smaller compartments for his trophies. The carpet was especially made under his strict guidance in the shape of a falcon- a symbol for freedom.The walls were covered in green French silk .The bed was so huge that at least 8 elephants could sleep there comfortably. The bedsheets were made of silk and she could bet that it was of best quality. She saw a small cozy garden in the balcony of the room. Then her eyes caught Maan's training photos. She touched one of his close-up pic as her eyes feast upon his perfect features. Her finger travelled from his firm jaws to his sharp nose and then stopped near his eyes.

"Why is his eyes look so sad, Kanha?" she murmured. She couldn't understand that how someone blessed with such good fortunes could be sad.

She walked towards Maan's cupboard and pushed the sliding door revealing his school uniforms, sports uniform, night dress, training costumes, party wears and many more of his outfits neatly hanged and some folded. Then she noticed another cupboard, beside the one she opened. She opened it too and became shocked to see only shoes.

"A shoe cabinet...that too so big," her eyes widened. There were at least 300 varieties of shoes and 150 varieties of sandals.

"He is weird...What's the need of so many shoes?" she pouted and closed the door. She turned her head to see an idol of Lord Krishna on the side table beside the king sized bed. She walked towards the idol and folded her hand whispering, "Kanha , I am really scared in this new place...They all are very weird and this place is sooo big that sometimes I lost my way to my room..."

"But I will be brave and try to adjust here as promised to Papa...He will be looking over me and I want to make him proud that his Gudiya is not a scared kitten , but a fighter," she sniffed as she wiped off her tears with the back of his hands. She heard some footsteps outside the bedroom.

"Papa, someone is coming , I need to go...But please take care in heaven and tell Kanha to send a friend to me...I don't want to be alone," she whispered and turned to leave , but stopped.

"Oh...I forgot...Nakul Kaka said something about God's punishment...Although I didn't get him , yet I want Maan not to be punished...He is little arrogant , but Kaka says that he has a heart of gold...And if kaka says then it must be true," she said with confidence and immediately hid behind the curtains.

Maan rushed inside his room and threw away his clothes and shoes in anger.

"What they think of themselves? I am a human...not a robot to train for 6 hrs continuously," Maan screamed in anger and dropped his tired body on the bed carelessly. He closed his eyes as tears rolled down his cheeks. Sweat beads poured down his face as he took deep ragged breathes to calm his tensed nerves. He took a deep breath inhaling a lavender aroma in the air.

"Someone was here," he whispered as his lips stretched into a genuine smile. He sat up and felt something moving behind the curtains for a fraction of second. He walked towards it with slow steps and then in a swift movement pushed away the curtains revealing an embarrassed Geet.

"What are u doing here?" Maan asked her in amusement.

"I...I...came...to pray," she managed to say. Suddenly she felt intimidated in presence of his high persona. He caged her between his hands and said huskily, "U shouldn't have come here...No one is allowed to step inside my den...No one means not even my parents."She nodded her head vigorously and looked away feeling scared.

"Don't again come here...I will send an idol of Kanha to ur room," he whispered near her ear huskily, sending shivers down her spine. She didn't stop any longer and ran out of his mansion, promising herself never to go there in future.

The next 3 months passed in a blur. With time, Maan realized that he was getting attracted to his step-sister Geet. Although, they didn't share the same bloodline, yet he was in a fix as the relation they shared would never permit them to develop romantic feelings for each other. But, Fate was cruel and merciless. She had decided something else for those poor souls. More they tried to avoid each other's presence, more they were reminded of each other's existence. For instance, if lead opposite of Geet in annual function drama became sick in the day of the show, then mam would have chosen Maan to save their school's reputation by playing Geet's love interest in the play. Again when Ranveer used to bully her and leave her crying, he used to scold Ranveer and punished him for his wrong deeds, earning respect in her eyes. Needless to say that gradually they became accustomed to each other and soon they learned about each other a lot. Nakul Kaka played a big part in reducing the awkwardness between them. He tried hard to make them friends. Initially, Maan used to push her away when she tried to be friendly with him. But soon he became tired and accepted her friendship. With time, their friendship grew stronger and they became inseparable. They kept each other sane just by their presence in each other's lives. For Maan, Geet was a wonder girl. She had the ability to turn someone's life upside down. His life too changed when he realized that he had fallen head over heels with his adopted sister Geet Singh Khurana' who was 2 yrs older than him.

July (1988)(Maan= 14 yrs old , Geet=16 yrs old)

Nakul Kaka entered Maan's bedroom to find him curled into a ball inside the closet. His cheeks were wet due to constant crying & his hands were red with dried blood.

"What did u do to urself?" Nakul Kaka cried. He opened his fisted left hand & found a razor that was stuck to his palm. He gasped in fear.

"Did u just try to kill urself?" Nakul screamed in pain & anger. He removed the razor carefully & checked his wounds. He looked at Maan's blank face painfully.

"What happened son?" Nakul asked him as he applied medicine to his wounds.

"Papa wants me to go to London for studying," Maan whispered painfully. He didn't have to say anymore as his kaka understood that Maan's sudden depression was due to the fear of living away from his best friend Geet for 8 long years.

Geet's reaction was scarier than Maan. She locked herself in her room after a heated argument with Maan. She begged him to stay, but Maan was helpless and it resulted in confining herself back to her shell. She went on a hunger strike for days, but before leaving Maan fed her with his own hands, promising her that he would keep in touch with her.

At the day of their departure, she ran in the terrace and saw him leaving for 8 long years. But in those 8 yrs, away from his Geet, Maan's love intensified more and more to the point of madness. But he didn't know that it was not only him, but also Geet who realized her true feelings for her Maan. Only the friendship of her new friend Sameera who was originally a citizen of London, helped her to cope up with the painful separation, when Maan was away from her , but for Maan , only her memories and his hope to see her again was helping him to survive in abroad.

A leap

July (1996) (Maan= 22 yrs old, Geet=24 yrs old)

Maan returned India and finally to his Geet. He ran towards her and took her in his arms, kissing her tears away in front of the whole crowd in the airport. When they realized what they did, they separated immediately, blushing red.

"Sometimes I think, u guys can only see each other and everyone else just blurs away from ur vision," a voice alerted them. It was Maan's younger brother, Ranveer Singh Khurana.

"Ranveer?" Maan asked shocked.

"Hello brother," he tilted his head with a lopsided grin, but his eyes were fixed on Geet who looked away feeling uncomfortable.

"Our sister has spent sleepless nights bro...She thinks that u are not taken proper care in London...Just make her understand that u were NOT ALONE...I bet girls took care of u," he winked while Maan stared at Geet who had a gloomy expression in her face.

"Something happened in my absence," Maan thought in worry.

With passing days, Maan understood that something was wrong between Geet and Ranveer. Whenever, Ranveer was around, Geet used to shrink back in fear or else made excuses to be around him. He tried to ask her the reason, but she used to dodge his questions. But it didn't affect their bond. Their love grew stronger, but at the same time it became next to impossible to hide their feelings not from each other, but also from others. Soon, it became a talk among high society parties. On the other side, Yash Singh Khurana decided to throw a party in honour of introducing Maan officially to the business world. As usual, he didn't ask Maan and just ordered him to get ready for the grand party next month.

"Dad, is the party necessary...Can we not skip it?" Maan asked his father. He never liked crowds and most importantly his dad's business parties where his every guests were money-minded and insensitive. Yash narrowed his eyes on his son.

"Actually, I don't like parties...So, I was thinking..." Maan said lowering his head.

"I don't like poor, dirty beggers in the street...But I don't have a choice...They will remain in the streets and die one day on the same streets...We don't like many things, but we have to do it anyway...This party is not just a celebration for announcing my heir to the world...It is a way of making powerful contacts, getting to know more rich and powerful people..." Yash said, shutting Maan's mouth.

August (1996)

In the party night (saloon of the castle)

The most awaited party which the Khuranas arranged for announcing Maan as Khurana heir proved to be a disaster. As soon as Maan left the party, making excuses, Ranveer went towards Geet. She was on phone with Maan.

"Maan...Where did u go? See, I am bored," Geet pouted her lips. Ranveer snatched the mobile from her hands and switched it off.

"What the hell?" Geet fumed.

"U should sometimes give him a rest, Princess," Ranveer smirked at her.

"Don't call me princess...It is only Maan's right," Geet hissed in anger.

"Oookkkaaayyy," Ranveer held up his hands.

"Give me back my cell," Geet hissed again. But Ranveer behaved as if he didn't hear her.

"Do u know ur closeness with bro is making tongues wag?" Ranveer asked, smirking at her.

"Tongues wag, anyway...U don't have to think about it," she gritted her teeth and ran upstairs leaving the party hall. But Ranveer was not in his senses. The alcohol intoxicated him to such an extent that he lost his mind. He followed Geet to her room. When she stepped inside and turned to close the door, he pushed her hard and entered her room forcibly, closing the door behind him. Inside the closed walls, only Geet's begging and screaming could be heard which didn't reach the saloon where party was being held.

In the mansion

Maan was in his mansion. He was drinking continuously without a stop.

"Today , Geet was looking like an angel...I was so close to losing my control in front of her...What if somebody noticed and read my feelings for her in my eyes? No...never...I can never taint her image...No one will dare to say anything against me, but she will be the easy target of this high society that will put her in a world of shame and misery," he thought and again drank. His last encounter with Sameera, Maan's ex-girlfriend in the initial years of his stay in London, was a constant reminder to him that people were noticing his closeness with Geet.

Flashback in

Sameera's mansion

"Geet...Geet, stop...," Sameera, Geet's best friend smiled at her.

"What are u doing? U are supposed to catch me," Geet pouted.

"I can't run anymore," Sameera panted heavily.

"C'mon...We have just started...Catch me...pleaseee...," Geet blinked her eyelashes, making a puppy dog face. Sameera shook her head and said, "I wonder how Maan manages to bear ur tantrums...I mean he has anger issues, but for u he becomes a completely different person."

"It is because I am his Princess...Now, come and catch me," she giggled and turned only to collide with Maan.

"Easy sugar...U will get hurt," Maan said in concern, holding her waist to stop her from falling down.

"Oh Maan...I am not a delicate doll that will get hurt just by running," Geet pouted as she straightened herself.

"But for me, u are...So, be careful...please...for me," Maan cupped her face. She nodded her head and then again started running, hoping that Sameera would follow her.

"Sometimes I wonder who is elder - U or her?" Sameera asked as she saw Geet running towards the garden.

"She is just a bit childish...very nave and innocent," Maan smiled as his eyes followed Geet.

"Long time?" Sameera asked Maan, breaking his thoughts. Sameera left London 2 yrs after Maan's arrival in London for studying.

"Yes...8 yrs, away from home...Studying in London, preparing myself for the race in the business world," Maan said sarcastically. Sameera (Sam) felt bad for him. It was never his dream to be a businessman. He loved photography and wanted to be a fashion photographer, but his parents were like always deaf to his wishes and dreams.

After an awkward silence, Sameera decided to ask him the question which always bugged her.

"When are u going to confess her?" she asked him, taking Maan by surprise.

"What do u mean?" Maan said, looking away.

"That u love her crazily," Sameera walked towards him.

"U seem to be hallucinating...For God's sake, she is my sister," Maan said scandalized and turned to leave before his eyes reveals his dark secret.

"She is not ur sister by blood...She is adopted...Think about ur happiness Maan...Marriage can still happen" she said.

"I know u...U will spend ur whole life alone because it will be always her and no one else," Sameera whispered after a short pause. Then she looked at him and said, "That's why u broke up with me in London as u didn't want to cheat me...isn't it Maan?" He looked at her sharply and then looked away in remorse.

"I always wanted to see the girl who had that effect on u... Even after being far away from her, u never cheated her once...Our relationship was always platonic...So, when I came here, I met her and she readily accepted my friendship knowing that I was ur girlfriend...She never became upset or mad at me, not because she didn't have feelings for u, but because she trusts u a lot," Sam said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter whether she loves me or not...Our love is forbidden in the eyes of society...If dad comes to know about it , he would kill both of us... and Mom will direct all her hatred towards that innocent soul...I would rather die than watch her suffer... She is happy and so am I," Maan whispered, looking at the sunset far away. But the pain was clearly visible in his eyes that saddened Sam.

"Moreover, she is older than me...and...," he paused and swallowed the lump in his throat, "and she is my sister...Society will never accept our relationship," he whispered painfully, trying to put up a brave face, but tears rolled down his cheeks. He let out a deep sigh, trying to garner his broken pieces.

Flashback out

Maan's trance broke as he found his bottle empty. He stood up and decided to see Geet once before calling it a night. But when Maan reached Geet's room in the castle and found his brother slapping an extremely scared and half-naked Geet in order to keep her mouth shut, his inside went on fire. He immediately separated him from HIS GEET and broke the hand of his brother which hurt her. Then he dragged him over like a chained animal in front of all the guests and handed him over to the police. He didn't bother to listen to his parents or rather their curses because he knew that he was doing the right thing. Geet who was always obedient to the Khurana couple and loved them more than she loved herself and respected their wishes, no matter how much it pained her , disobeyed them. For the 1^st time in her life she went against their orders and put Ranveer behind bars, only because Maan was by her side giving her the strength she needed. But the next few months became hell for the whole Khurana family. It was a big scandal. Paparazzi never left them for a single moment. They had got juicy news that would sell like hot cakes in the Christmas evening. Geet was affected the most. She stopped going to her part-time job and confined herself in the 4 walls of her room, turning into a cold and distant person, quite unlike her lively and energetic persona. So, Maan too stopped going office and made sure that she remained in front of his eyes. He even shifted to the castle and lived next to her room.

Oct (1996)

In KM (Geet's bedroom)

The blanket over her shoulder no longer provided her comfort. The walls of her room no longer provided her with the security she longed. Her world had stopped since the day Ranveer destroyed her and now she was nothing but a living corpse, waiting for her life to over so that finally she could find some solace in the lap of death. She stared at the ceiling oblivious to the sounds & voices around her.

A hand stroked her head. She knew this touch. It was her Maan, only one in this whole world whose touch never made her flinch back.

"Geet baby...C'mon...drink this soup...U will feel much better," Maan whispered to her.

"Maan...I feel nothing," Geet whispered back. Maan turned his face. His heart bled seeing her broken and without any hope to go on with her life. He bit his lower lip to stifle his sobs.

"No...I can't...I can't just break down easily in front of her...I have to assure her that there is still hope...Her life has just begun...and she will soon become the most beautiful girl with full of life that she used to be once," he thought.

"I wish I can feel the humiliation I faced...but nothing I feel...There is only sudden emptiness which is worst than anything else," she said coldly with her dead eyes fixed on the ceiling.

"Is Mom-Dad angry with me?" Geet asked him. He looked at her sharply.

"Does she know that they think it's her fault?" he looked at her cautiously.

"Do they hate me?" she asked again.

"No, Geet...Why will they?" he lied.

"Then why do they stop talking to me?" she asked again. Maan looked away unable to look into her eyes everytime & lie on her face that they care about her...that they love her.'

"They are busy Geet...U know Dad's business & Mom's social service just takes all their time and as soon as they reach home , their bodies give up...But they always make sure that I come to u and give my baby goodnight kiss," he smiled at her.

"U are lying," she thought sadly, but she didn't say it out loud. She knew that everything had changed after that fateful night. She decided not to let him know that she knew how much her parents hated her. It would be so unfair to his efforts to make her feel better.

"I am tired...can't sleep anymore...Will u sing for me?" she suddenly asked him. Maan nodded his head & placed her head on his lap, singing a song of love & tragedy.

Nov (1996)

Maan's bedroom

Maan entered his room after patting Geet to sleep. It was his daily routine. He dropped his body carelessly on the bed and closed his eyes as tears rolled down his cheeks.

"I WILL NEVER LEAVE U ALONE GEET, BECAUSE I LOVE U...AND WILL ALWAYS BE WITH U NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS," Maan promised himself. He thought about her whole night, clutching her photo frame to his chest and finally drifted to sleep out of mental exhaustion.

Maan woke up next morning to wake up Geet. He had decided to bring Geet out of her depression and he knew what would help her.

"Pottery...Geet's favorite hobby," Maan grinned. She used to tell him that whenever she touches clay, she feels at peace and when she dedicates all her attention towards her creation, she feels all her frustration and pain to go away one by one and then when she holds her creation in her hands, a sense of accomplishment fulfils her.

Geet's bedroom

Geet was gazing outside her window. Sleep was far away from her eyes. Although, Maan tried his best, but as soon as he left her, she began to miss his warmth and his musky smell which always intoxicated her senses and helped in dozing off. She spent whole night sitting alone on her bed. One part of her wished to go to him and sleep in his arms, but she stopped herself not wanting to raise question against their relationship. It was the same reason that always made her to ignore all her growing feelings towards him. Initially, it was very difficult for her not to reciprocate his feelings which were not unknown to her, but soon she mastered it and it was really ironic because she learnt all her tricks to hide her feelings from the one whom she loved the most in this world -her Maan.

"Yes , I love u...And I know u are breaking down slowly by seeing me all broken and lost...I never meant to hurt u, but...," she thought helplessly. The trauma of that night never seemed to leave her.

"I am trying Maan to get over it...And I will try my best, just for ur sake," she whispered to herself.

"Geet," a voice called her so softly that even the source of the voice failed to hear it.She turned her head and was surprised to see him.

"Maan...U here? Don't u have a flight to catch for London?" Geet asked him coldly.

"Do u think I will leave u alone AGAIN?" Maan smiled sadly at her.

"But it is an important deal Maan...U will lose crores," Geet asked him.

"I don't care...It will be better to lose some money that worth nothing to me than losing my only prized possession," Maan said with determination. He remembered the time when he left her alone when his parents decided to send him London for studying.

Flashback start (Maan=14 yrs old, Geet= 16 yrs old)

"Nooo...Go away...I don't want you anymore," Geet sobbed.

"Geet...please listen to me. I am not going for ever...Just for 8 yrs...It will pass just like that," Maan tried to convince her , but inside he was feeling suffocated at the thought of not able to see her for that long. He blinked his eyelashes to stop his tears.

"But...I have no one other than u...With whom I will share my secrets...with whom I will play video games...Who will save me from getting scolding from mom & dad? Who will wait for me late outside the classroom when I will get detention? Who will help me in my homework? Who will me my hero in school plays? Who will pamper me and call me princess?" Geet sobbed again, clutching his shirt in her small fists.

"Geet..." Maan whispered painfully.

"I love it when u scold me...I love it when u tell me to take care of myself...I love it when u kiss me goodnight...I love it when u feed me during exams...I love it when u gaze at me until I fall asleep...I love everything u do for me...If u go away, I will never get these," she looked at him with tears.

"Oh Geet!! Don't make it difficult for me...please," Maan begged her. She looked at him accusingly and then pushed him so hard that his back hit the wall behind him, causing him to wince in pain.

"I hate u...I hate u Maan," she cried and ran away, leaving him in remorse.

"I wish I could raise my voice against them," he whispered as a tear drop escaped his eyes.

He marched towards his parents, but froze seeing them. His throat went dry and his heartbeat increased. He stared at his palm which had turned sweaty out of nervousness.

"Dad," Maan called him softly, gathering some courage.

"Yes," Yash Singh Khurana replied without taking his eyes off his file.

"I don't want to go to London," Maan said with his trembling voice.

"Go and tell Patil what u want to pack in ur luggage," Yash said as if he didn't hear him. Maan looked at him with tears streaming down his face and then he ran away as fast as he could from their sight. He understood that it was futile to request his dad. He would do what he wanted to do.

Within 2 days, Maan was sent to London for studying. Before he stepped inside his car, he looked up and saw Geet peeping from behind the pillar and gazing at him longingly. He looked away not able to see her bloodshot eyes due to excessive crying. On his way to the airport, only images of her pale face and pouted lips flashed before his eyes increasing his guilt tenfold.

"I am sorry," he whispered to himself, closing his eyes in pain and stepped inside the airport to leave for London for 8 yrs.

Flashback end

"I am not again willing to go through that hell," both of them wished silently.

There was an awkward silence between Maan and Geet.

"Come with me," Maan broke the silence.

"Where?" Geet asked him.

"U will see," Maan smiled warmly at her & covered her eyes with a piece of cloth.

In the basement of KM

Within 10 minutes, they reached at the basement of the house. He removed the piece of cloth from her eyes and asked her to open them slowly. Geet opened her eyes to see that they were at the basement. It was dusted neatly and well-illuminated. She saw a bucket full of water, lots of high fire-clay and a potter's wheel at the centre of the room on a large table.

"Maan, what's all this?" Geet asked him in surprise.

"U said u don't feel anything...I want u to feel...I want u to feel how u used to be once...U always felt free when u used to make clay pots...I want to see that smile in ur lips whenever u finished creating something new and beautiful with ur own hands...Will u show me that smile, Geet? Will u give me back, MY GEET?" Maan asked her in pain.

Geet didn't say anything. She walked towards the table and tried her best to make something out of clay, however small it would be, because that small effort of her could make her Maan happy.

18+ caution started( Bacha party can skip..)

Seeing her trembling and in the verge of crying, he let out a sigh of relief. After 6 months of that fateful day, he saw her feeling something. But he didn't want her to shatter and fall into darkness. So, he tried to divert her mind.

""Pottery is just the opposite of today's lifestyle," he said."It's a slow process that takes a lot of patience," he added.

He walked towards her & embraced her from behind, startling her.

"Close ur eyes, Geet...Let ur hands be liberated from the censure of ur critically trained eyes," he said huskily near her ear. She stood like a blind woman, freeing her soul completely, dancing rhythmically with her Maan.

He touched her hands and brushed along the length of it and started helping her in kneading the clay. He instructed her by whispering, "While u are kneading the clay lump , u need to apply thrust down from ur shoulders and knead it in a rocking motion with ur left foot forward...This way we are using our body weight assist in the process." He pressed his almost naked chest against her back and moved rhythmically, as his chin touched her shoulder.

"In pottery we have to trust the invisible gauges we carry with us...Without this feeling, we can never be a creator," he whispered again in her ear.

Song started

Geet bit her lips to stifle her moans and embarrass herself in front of him as she felt tingling sensation in her neck. She turned her head & their noses brushed.

"Sorry," she whispered while he nodded his head. She found him too close, sensing goose bumps in every inch of her body. She observed how his pink M-shaped lips moves when he talks. Her lips curved into a smile when she observed his every feature - his beautiful hazel brown eyes, his sharp nose, his thin pink M-shaped lips, his delicate and masculine face, his dark black hair, his pearl white skin. He was wearing his favorite black shirt with 2 buttons left open from top, giving her open invitation. The black jeans and dark jacket just enhanced his persona. His hair was jelled back neatly, but some curls were kissing his forehead. Suddenly he said something, which made him to giggle, causing his eyes to crinkle. She was so lost in memorizing his every feature that she didn't hear a single word uttered by him, but still she smiled seeing her Maan smiling so freely.

Gumsum Gumsum Gupchup Gumsum Gupuchup
Gumsum Gumsum Gupchup Gumsum Gupuchup
Gumsum Gumsum Gupchup Gumsum Gupuchup

His closeness was affecting her and she could feel that she was losing her control.

Hulchul Hulchul Ho Gayi Teri Honth Hai Kyon Chup
Hulchul Hulchul Ho Gayi Teri Baithe Hain Gupchup

He looked at her lovingly and the moment their eyes met, they forgot everything. Time froze and love let them to open their hearts for each other.

Pyaare Pyaare Chehre Ne Karte Hain Ishaara
Dekha Teri Aankhon Ne Hai Sapna Koi Pyaara
Humse Gori Na Tu Sharma Kehde Humse Zara
Humse Gori Na Tu Sharma Kehde Humse Zara

"Maan..." she whispered. He stared at her eyes and all Maan could see was the same passion that his eyes reflected for her. His muddy hands travelled upwards along the length of her arms, sending shivers to every inch of her body.

Kehna Hi Kya Ye Nein Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lage Mohabbat Ke Jaise Ye Silsile

Maan leaned down slowly and fused his mouth to hers into a slow, gentle kiss. A low moan escaped from the depths of her being.He left her lips, feeling her breathlessness. But he couldn't let her go. He sucked her earlobes, which were soft like a feather, making her gasp.

Armaan Naye Aise Dil Mein Khile
Jinko Kabhi Main Na Jaanoon
Vo Humse Hum Unse Kabhi Na Mile
Kaise Mile Dil Na Jaanoon

She came out of his embrace and ran at the corner of the room. Her heart was running a marathon as she tried to calm her body. But her body betrayed her and only longed for his Maan's touch. She touched her lips that were still wet due to the kiss. She turned and sighed deeply as she stared at him slowly and saw him looking at her with full of love. At that instant, she understood that they were finally naked to each other's feelings. No hide & seek could change the fact that transpired between them.

Ab Kya Karein Kya Naam Lein
Kaise Unhein Main Pukaroon

He washed his hands while his eyes never leaving her. Then he walked towards her slowly, making her step back until her back touched the wall.

Kehna Hi Kya Ye Nein Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lage Mohabbat Ke Jaise Ye Silsile
Armaan Naye Aise Dil Mein Khile
Jinko Kabhi Main Na Jaanoon
Vo Humse Hum Unse Kabhi Na Mile
Kaise Mile Dil Na Jaanoon
Ab Kya Karein Kya Naam Lein
Kaise Unhein Main Pukaroon

Music...

He caged her in between his hands, staring intensely at her restless eyes. He had seen the love in her hazels and it was just as strong as his. There was no way he would allow her to go away from him. She was his...only his GEET.
Geet wriggled like a caged bird, but Maan was stubborn and just looked at her with a naughty smile. She looked at him and they stared at each other without a blink.

Pehli Hi Nazar Mein Kuchh Hum Kuchh Tum
Ho Jaate Hain Yoon Gum
Neinon Se Barse Rimjhim Rimjhim
Humpe Pyaar Ka Saawan

Maan leaned forward & gave feather kisses to her neck, shoulder blades and then he bit her collarbone playfully, earning a soft moan from her mouth. She looked at him with wide eyes and seeing the passion in his eyes, she blushed and lowered her eyes immediately.

Sharam Thodi Thodi Humko Aaye To Nazrein Jhuk Jaayein
Sitamb Thoda Thoda Humpe Shokh Hawaa Bhi Kar Jaayein

He placed his gentle hands on her both shoulders, pulling her closer to him.She pushed him back and tried to run away again , but Maan held her dupatta and she turned immediately clutching it to her chest. She nodded her head no, but Maan pulled her towards him with so much force that she crashed in his arms , hiding her face in the crook of his neck.

Aisi Chale Aanchal Uthay Dil Mein Ek Toofan Uthay
Hum To Lut Gaye Khade Hi Khade

"Princess...look at me...please," Maan requested her, but she shook her head, saying that she would not, making him chuckle. He threw her dupatta (scarf) away from her body slowly, but still she didn't leave him and hid her face in the crook of his neck, clutching his biceps, without realizing that her nails were digging into his skin.

"Ur claws are getting very sharp, Princess" he teased, making her to gasp. She immediately removed her hands from his biceps and examined them. It was bruised due to her nails. She looked at him apologetically, but his eyes were fixed on her lips, which turned her cheeks crimson red.

Kehna Hi Kya Ye Nein Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lage Mohabbat Ke Jaise Ye Silsile
Armaan Naye Aise Dil Mein Khile
Jinko Kabhi Main Na Jaanoon
Vo Humse Hum Unse Kabhi Na Mile
Kaise Mile Dil Na Jaanoon

He touched her lips, rubbing it with his thumb as she closed her eyes in pleasure. His hands travelled down from her lips to her chest.

Ab Kya Karein Kya Naam Lein
Kaise Unhein Main Pukaroon

He carried her in his arms as she stared at him without a blink.

Gumsum Gumsum Gupchup Gumsum Gupuchup
Gumsum Gumsum Gupchup Gumsum Gupuchup
Hulchul Hulchul Ho Gayi Teri Honth Hai Kyon Chup
Hulchul Hulchul Ho Gayi Teri Baithe Hain Gupchup
Pyaare Pyaare Chehre Ne Karte Hain Ishaara
Dekha Teri Aankhon Ne Hai Sapna Koi Pyaara
Humse Gori Na Tu Sharma Kehde Humse Zara
Humse Gori Na Tu Sharma Kehde Humse Zara

He made her sit at the edge of the table in the room. Then he pushed all the things from the table, making space for her to lie down.

Maan made her lie down on her back as he took off his shirt. Geet opened her eyes and saw him looking at her, asking for her permission to love her. She smiled and then she forwarded her hands towards him.

In Honthon Na Maanga Sargam Sargam
Tu Aur Tera Hi Pyaar Hai
Aaj Dhoondhe Hai Jisko Hardam Hardam
Tu Aur Tera Hi Pyaar Hai

Maan held her hand as if promising her that whatever comes their way, she will never have to face the world all alone.

Mehfil Mein Bhi Tanha Hai Dil Aise Dil Aise
Tujhko Kho Na De Darrta Hai Ye Aise Ye Aise
Aaj Mili Aisi Khushi Jhoom Uthi Duniya Ye Meri
Tumko Paaya To Paayi Zindagi

He climbed on the table and hovered on her. He kissed her forehead, her eyes one by one, her nose and her cheeks, pinning her hands up, above her head. He brushed his lips with her softly, kissing them gently, savoring her every taste.

Kehna Hi Kya Ye Nein Ek Anjaan Se Jo Mile
Chalne Lage Mohabbat Ke Jaise Ye Silsile
Kehna Hi Kya.

Song ended

Maan sucked her lips, pulling them with his teeth. Geet too reciprocated his kisses, feeling overwhelmed. Then he darted his tongue into her mouth and met her in satiny swirls. He sucked her saliva, pressing his lips on her soft ones. When he found her panting heavily, he let her go.

"I love u," Maan confessed at last after hiding his feelings for the past 9 yrs. She looked at him with happy tears streaming down her cheeks, as if she finally found peace.

"I love u too," she replied, pulling him closer.

He began to trail kisses down the column of her throat and long neck leaving several hickeys as he gently held her soft silky hair to pull her head back for more access & then his lips moved on her bulges above her breasts. He licked them, making her shudder a little. She threw her head back more, groaning feeling his hot lips, igniting every hidden desire in her. He undressed her completely followed by him. Then he again hovered on her kissing her lips again, but this time with more passion. His hands roved over her hips and her flat belly to the swelling curves of her breasts. He touched her nipples that were hard like pebbles. He rubbed them between his fingers and pinched them hard one by one, eliciting whimpers of joy. He ran the tip of his tongue along her chin to her neck and fastened his lips to her earlobe. She arched back and sighed deeply, indicating him her sensitive spot. He lingered there and kept on sucking her earlobes and rimming her ear with his tongue. He went down kissing her, along the length of her body & stopped near her bellybutton. He rolled over his tongue inside it, making her ticklish. She giggled feeling his lips in her sensitive parts, making him grin widely. Then he travelled up again and took her hard nipples in her mouth, sucking them hungrily. In response of his sweet torture , her knee rose between his legs, sliding up his inner thighs , causing his manhood to become as hard as iron. She giggled and continuously rubbed her knee over him. He groaned and looked at her hungrily, feeling completely turned on. To stop her from torturing him, he planted another hungry kiss on her wet mouth while his hands caressed and kneaded and molded her upper body as if she was a lump of clay and he was a master sculptor. She squirmed, wriggled and wrapped her leg around him and unwrapped them again as her hands roamed everywhere she could reach from his silky hair to his ass cheeks. Then he looked at her, seeking permission for the one that would unite them forever into a deep bond. Her one nod broke all his inhibitions. He glided his finger along her slit and found it dripping hot. She bit her lips to stifle a carnal outcry .He slowly inserted his one finger; immersing it in molten lava and felt her inner walls ripple. Soon his 4 fingers replaced his one finger and started stroking on and on, pumping again and again until her teeth sank on his shoulder. Then in a swift motion, he entered her deeper and faster, claiming her as HIS FOREVER. He kissed her tears away to reduce her pain. But soon the pain subsided, taking her to a different world of pleasure and love. Her uncontrollable moaning was like sweet melodies to his ears, urging him to increase his speed more and finally releasing inside her.

Maan rested his forehead against hers, calming his erratic heartbeats. Their whole bodies were smeared with sweat. Her soaked hair fell forward, blocking the view of her beautiful face. He touched it and removed it from her face, making her open her half-closed tired eyes.

"How are u feeling?" Maan asked in concern.

"Incredibly sexy," she giggled, making Maan chuckle.

"Time for confession my beloved," Maan smiled at her as Geet nodded her head.

They dressed up quickly and then looked at each other's eyes as if they were ready for the consequences. He forwarded his hand towards her which she held firmly.

"Let's do it," Maan said in determination while Geet bit her lips in an unknown fear.

18+ cautious ended

In the dining table of Khurana castle

Yash Singh Khurana was reading newspaper while Mohini Singh Khurana was sipping green tea , served by Nakul.Maan and Geet walked up to them holding each other's hands tightly.

"Dad...We need to talk," Maan said, but this time his voice was firm. Geet looked at him with her eyes showing admiration for her man.

No response came from any of them.Maan sighed and then decided to drop the bomb on them.

"I love Geet and want to marry her," Maan said with same determination. The cup slipped from Mohini Khurana's hands and Yash Singh Khurana froze. Nakul Kaka closed his eyes. At last, the only thing he was dreading since his experienced eyes saw the love of maaneet for each other, had happened and now it would bring only destruction for all of them.

They both looked at him in shock. Slowly the shocks on their faces were replaced by extreme anger. Every inch of their body shook in rage as their elder son's declaration sunk in.

"What nonsense is this?" Yash thundered.

"This is the biggest truth of my life dad...I want Geet in my life," Maan said calmly.

"Forget her...I will get u any other girl...Just point ur finger on any girl, I will bring her at ur feet ...but not her...Damn, SHE IS UR SISTER," Yash said through gritted teeth.

"I know u can get me any girl by the power of ur status and money...But there is one problem in that...No one will be MY GEET...She is the only one in this world...And this Maan Singh Khurana wants only HIS GEET," Maan again replied him calmly.

"Are u out of ur freaking mind?" Yash yelled in extreme anger, making Geet jump back in fear. Yash walked towards Geet and dragged her in the middle of the hall and pushed her on the floor.

"Look at her...Everything she is wearing from her salwar kameez to her earrings are given by us...His father was nothing but a small businessman...Even if he would have been alive , he would have never reached our level,"Yash said , looking at Geet in disgust as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Yes...u are right...She is not in our level...and can never be..." Maan said looking at his father. Yash smiled at him feeling that he had succeeded in brainwashing his son, but the next set of words shocked him.

"She can never be like us because she is an angel with pure and nave heart...not like us," Maan said firmly.

"And by the way this girl belonging to a small business family had once transferred u her ancestral property in Hoshiarpur , her only support , for ur dream project...She never thought twice because she is not like us...She is just Geet, one and only," Maan whispered and made Geet to stand up and pulled her in his arms.

Yash threw the chair away in anger knowing that it would be impossible for him to budge Maan from his decision that would destroy all his reputation in the high society .They would mock him and their family status. He threw away all the plates and glasses in anger as Mohini reached for Yash to calm him down. She gave him a glass of water and then walked towards maaneet.

"Son...U go now...I will make him understand...Don't worry," Mohini convinced Maan. His face lit up instantly getting his mother's assurance. He pecked Geet's hands and then walked away from there with her, leaving the matter in his mother's hands.

In Maan's bedroom (in KM)

Maaneet spent the whole day in each others' arms. They were like oblivious to their surroundings, dreaming about their happy future together.

Suddenly, a knock disturbed their beautiful moments.Maan opened the door to find Sameera rushing inside with a bag.She closed the door in a hurry.

"Sam...What are u doing here?" Maan asked in surprise.

"Saving ur lives, idiots," she hissed.She kept the bag on the bed.

"I have kept all my jewelleries , a bridal wear , some cashes and 2 fake passports and visas with fake identities...From now onwards ur name will be Vikram Kapoor and Geet's name will be Dipali Kapoor , ur wife...got it?" Sam said looking at both of them.

"Hey..Hey...Slow down Sam...We are not eloping like that...Mom has told us that she will make dad agree about our marriage...By the way , who called u?" Maan asked in surprise.

"Me?" Nakul Kaka entered with their lunch.

"But why?" Geet asked this time.

"Because I know them...They must be planning something big," he said in worry.

"No Kaka...It can't be...I know they are strict and money-minded, but they are still my parents...and will surely want us to be happy," Maan said as Geet nodded her head, agreeing to maan. Nakul Kaka and Sameera (Sam) tried to make them understand but they didn't agree to run away. They were confident that they would agree.

In the evening,

Mohini entered Maan's room. They immediately separated seeing her. Mohini smiled at them and nodded her head indicating their approval for marriage, making them the happiest persons in the world. She opened her arms to hug them and bless them for their new life. Soon, the preparations for the marriage started.

Next day (morning)

Geet was choosing jewelleries for her marriage with her Maan. It was like a dream come true. She had pinched herself several times to convince herself that it was finally happening and there she was sitting with her would be mother-in-law selecting jewelleries for her marriage.

"Time really flies by so quickly...It was like yesterday when u entered our mansion with Yash and now u are going to be my daughter in true sense...Can't believe it," Mohini wiped off her happy tears. Geet kept her hand on hers and gave her a warm smile.

"U are perfect for my Maan," she whispered, making Geet blush. She looked at Maan who was standing far away, talking to Sam about something. As their eyes met and locked, stillness came to them.

"I wish that time stops here and we can gaze at each other for eternity," she thought.

Geet mouthed him, "I LOVE U." Maan smiled at her and gave her a flying kiss, turning her pink cheeks crimson red. Mohini cleared her throat interrupting their silent romance.

"Geet, tomorrow we are going...U remember right?" Mohini asked her.

"Yes, Mom...U don't worry," Geet replied.

"But Mom...Don't u think Maan should know?" Geet asked her.

"We will tell him about it later...and I know u will convince him somehow as u have strange control over him,"Mohini replied.

The marriage day (morning)

In Maan's bedroom

"Maan...Can I have a word with u?" Yash peeped inside his son's room.Maan was trying his Sherwani when his father knocked on his door.

"Offcourse dad...U don't need to ask," Maan said as Yash walked in.He opened his mouth to say something, but then again hesitated.

"What's the matter, dad?" Maan asked him in worry.

"Actually there is a problem in the construction site among the workers...I am busy in the preparations and Ranveer is not here...So , just thinking...Forget it...I will ask someone else," Yash passed him a small smile and turned to leave.

"I will go dad...Don't worry...They respect me and only I can sort out their problems quickly," Maan said with an assuring smile.

"Thank u Maan...U are a life-saver," Yash hugged him. They parted after some time. Yash looked at him apologetically while Maan waited for him to say something.

"Whatever I did that day was wrong...Can u forgive me son?" Yash asked him.

"Don't apologize dad...I am ur son...U have every right to get angry...Infact , I am sorry for hiding my feelings for Geet for such a long time...In a way , I cheated u," Maan whispered. "And , thank u...Thank u for giving my life , my Geet...Even if I give u my life , I can never repay u back for agreeing to this marriage and accepting her as the Khurana bahu," he said again after a brief pause.

"Don't thank me now...Thank me after u marry her," Yash said to him with a smile.

In MG road

"Yes Sam, I am on my way home...Is Geet there? Actually, Mom-Dad strictly forbidden me from meeting her before marriage and I need to give her grandmaa's mangalsutra that she wished to wear in our marriage...And...I ...c'mon...u know me...Will I have to explain it to u?" Maan blushed. He stared at the mangalsutra that he collected after polishing it.

"Nope...U don't have to...But, the thing is that Mohini aunty came and picked her up from our house...She was saying that they had to reach somewhere urgently," Sam replied him. Maan's brows creased in worry. He was having a bad feeling about his Mom's visit to Sam's house.

"Geet didn't say me about this...She never hides anything from me," he thought.

"Maan...Maan...Are u still there?" Sam asked him.

"Yeah...I am...Sam, I will call u later," Maan said and disconnected the call. Although he tried to sound normal, yet his voice trembled in unknown fear. He dialed Geet's number again and again, but it went unanswered. His hands began trembling in nervousness.

"Pick up the damn phone," Maan said in frustration as his 25^th call went unanswered. He parked his car in the garage and hopped out of it and started running inside.

In KM (living room)

"Nakul Kaka...Nakul Kaka...Is Geet home?" Maan asked in one go to a terrified Nakul. Maan's eyes follow his kaka's eyes and he froze.

"Ranveer?" Maan whispered in shock.

"Hello, brother," Ranveer smirked.

"What's happening here? Mom...Dad...What's all these? How is he out? He is supposed to be behind bars," Maan asked in an unbelievable expression.

"C'mon brother...Is this a way to welcome ur little brother? I am highly disappointed," Ranveer said with a lopsided grin.

"Shut up!!" Maan screamed at him as everything got puzzled inside his head. He stared at his parents who were sitting coolly on sofa.

"Mom...Where is my Geet?" Maan asked her. She looked at him sternly and said, "She is gone...She said that she doesn't want this marriage and has found someone richer than u...So, she doesn't need u anymore...U can move on with someone else as she has moved on with her boyfriend."

"U are lying...I don't believe a single word from u...Dad will tell me the truth," Maan hissed in anger. He reached his dad and knelt down before him, begging him as tears rolled down his cheeks, "Where is my Geet, dad?"

"Dead...And by now her dead body must be rotting somewhere," Yash gritted out.

"No...She can't leave me...She can't break her promise...Hell, we are getting married today," Maan shook his head again and again as he mumbled like a lunatic.

"Yes, she is dead...But before dying she did one thing right ...She took back her case or rather I would say that I show some of my fake motherly affection to her and convinced her for taking back her case against Ranveer,"Mohini smiled evilly.

"It was so easy to act all good in front of her and win her trust...She is a born dumb," Mohini twisted her lips as everyone of them burst out in fits of laughter.

"So, it was a plan...this marriage preparations...just to win their trust?" Nakul asked in shock.But they didn't reply and just gave dirty smirks to him. Suddenly grief consumed Maan completely. He stumbled to his knees, clutched the mangalsutra to his chest, fell back against the sofa as tears poured from his eyes in torrents that he didn't ask for and couldn't stop too.

"My Geet must be scared somewhere...She must be waiting for her Maan...I need to find her...Yes, I will find her," Maan mumbled continuously. Nakul Kaka ran towards him to support his weak body, but he pushed him away and ran outside to search his Geet.

On the road

"Where are u Geet?"Maan cried helplessly. He couldn't breathe out of extreme mental agony. For the past 3 days, he was searching Geet on the streets.

"Please god, don't do this to me...U have snatched every possible happiness from both of us...but not this," Maan shook his head. He ran everywhere like a lunatic. He asked every person he met and showed Geet's photo in his mobile, but everyone seemed to be clueless. His heart was still in denial that Geet is dead. Suddenly his mobile beeped. He immediately answered it seeing Nakul Kaka's name flashing on the screen.

"Kaka...I can't find my Geet...She is playing hide and seek with me...How can she torment me in our marriage day?" Maan sobbed like a child.

"U will see Kaka that when I will find her, I will never talk to her for doing this to me," Maan hiccupped. Passers- by looked at him and thought him as a crazy person as his clothes were tattered and torn and his feet were naked, bleeding from several bruises , but he couldn't feel any physical pain. He was beyond of feeling any of those feelings at that moment.

"Beta, Geet is at home," Nakul Kaka whispered as tears cascaded his eyes.

"I am coming back, Kaka," Maan exclaimed happily and ran towards the mansion again.

In KM

"Kaka...Kaka...I am back," Maan shouted as he rushed inside the empty living room of KM. Nakul Kaka ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

"Beta...Look at u...What have u done to urself?" Kaka gasped seeing his broken condition.

"I am fine...Please just take me to my Geet," Maan requested him, wiping off his tears with the back of his hands. Kaka looked at him and he knew that it was over for his Maan too. He deserved to see her the last time and so he did, disclosing to him what he heard after Maan left to search Geet.

"They were discussing to keep her body in the basement before they get time to move it and dump it somewhere else," Kaka said as his throat clogged with emotions, seeing Maan's haunted eyes, gazing at him.

"I am sorry...I was not at home when they all killed Geet betiya," Kaka burst into tears. Maan walked like a zombie and went towards the same basement where they confessed their loves for each other.

Nakul Kaka didn't stop him anymore. He called police and informed them about the crime that took place in KM. Infact , he had recorded their confessions secretly when they were celebrating their success.

After sometime, Yash , Mohini and Ranveer came downstairs.

"Is Maan at home?" Mohini asked Nakul who was sitting like a statue.

"Where is he?" Yash asked him.

"To the basement," Nakul mumbled, still lost in the destruction of his children.

In the basement (end of Nov 1996)

When someone betrays a person's trust, he gets hurt. But when it comes from someone u love, someone u trust deeply, ur world seems to turn upside down. U seem not to believe ur own existence. Maan never thought that his parents would cheat them like that. It was a common saying that parents can never be bad. They are like gods for their children. But is it true in these days?

Maan just sat on the floor of the basement with the lifeless body of Geet in his arms. Nothing seemed to matter him. He was dead without his Geet. His lifeless eyes stared at her face. He remembered how he once held her petite form in his arms after their love-making. She was so warm, soft and her soft breathings were music to his ears, but now she was cold and stiff. He kept his ear on her heart, but it was dead silent. His blank eyes found something in her fist. He opened it and found a diamond ring which she bought for him with her savings. He smiled sadly and wore it in his fingers, kissing it numerous times as tears rolled down his cheeks. Then his trembling hands took out the mangalsutra from his pocket & made her wear it around her neck and then he picked up a long glass piece in his hand and slashed his wrist. He chanted 7 vows of marriage as he filled her partings with his blood, marrying her as he promised.

"Now u are mine in true sense , MY BELOVED...Not for 7 births , but for eternity...If there is Maan , then there will be a Geet for him...Maan ki Geet," Maan smiled at her. Suddenly, he heard footsteps. The door flung open. Yash, Mohini and Ranveer stepped inside the dimly lit basement and immediately stopped seeing Maan's unnatural smile.

"Maan," Yash gasped seeing him. The air smelled damp, heavy and stale.

"Kya iski koi jaroorat thi papa? Boliye na...Kya iski koi jaroorat thi?" Maan asked him as tears rolled down his eyes. Yash looked away feeling a sense of remorse. He didn't want Maan's destruction. But it seemed that it was inevitable after they killed Geet.

"I have learned a lesson - WHEN U FULLY TRUST A PERSON WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, IT GIVES U ONE OF THE TWO RESULTS- A PERSON FOR LIFETIME OR A LESSON FOR LIFETIME'," Maan said as fresh tears cascaded in his eyes.

"And u gave me a lesson of lifetime - DON'T TRUST ANYONE BLINDLY'", Maan smiled sadly.

"EVERY CHILD CARRIES HIS PARENT'S LEGACY...BUT U LEFT ME NOTHING , EXCEPT IMMENSE PAIN...AND I GUESS THAT'S THE LEGACY I WILL BE CARRYING TO MY GRAVE," Maan gave him again a sad smile. Yash lowered his head unable to meet his son's eyes. He then looked over their shoulders and found Ranveer looking at him with wide eyes.

"Ranveer...U came? I was waiting for u," Maan said loudly.

"Look at u Maan...Loving her destroyed u," Ranveer smirked. Maan grinned as if he had caught him red-handed.

"Don't tell me, u never wanted her?" Maan said with a lopsided grin. He looked at Maan in confusion while Yash and Mohini stared at their son speechless.

"I know u wanted her...but she turned u down," Maan tilted his head with a wide grin. Ranveer gulped hard and stole glances at his parents while his parents looked at him doubtfully.

"When I was in London, u proposed her, but she rejected u...When u tried to hold her hand, she slapped u...And I dare u to deny me?" Maan whispered again as his lips stretched into a smile that sent shivers down their spines.

"I...It is not like that...I can explain," Ranveer stammered while his parents were shocked.

"U are such a fool...Don't u get it? It will be always me in her heart...I RULE HER HEART...AND IT WILL BE ALWAYS ME...NOT IN THIS LIFETIME...BUT ALSO IN EVERY LIFE...THERE IS NO PLACE OF ANYONE ELSE IN BETWEEN US," Maan whispered again. His eyes had a strange gleam and confidence on his love.

"Don't u believe me?" Maan asked him. Ranveer looked at his Mom and Dad who were standing there as if hypnotized.

"I will show u," Maan gave them an unnatural smile. One look at him turn their blood ice-cold. He took one scattered glass piece and pierced Geet's chest and entered his right hand inside, taking out something. Then he opened up his right hand and raised it in front of them.

"My beloved's heart," Maan mumbled with a smile. Mohini screamed in horror and fainted immediately while Yash dropped on his knees, seeing the horrible sight in front of him. And Ranveer , just stood there as if all his life was sucked out. His eyes popped out seeing Maan.

"Did u hear?" Maan asked him. "My Geet's heart is taking only my name...Come closer, listen to it," Maan said holding out his hand towards Ranveer as blood dripped down the heart , staining his clothes and the floor. Ranveer stepped back immediately in fear. His face became pale as if all his blood was drained out.

"U are crazy," Ranveer whispered in horror. Maan again gave that ghostly smile to him.

Maan brought Geet's heart near his lips and kissed it softly, mumbling, "I will soon come to u, my beloved."

Blood started dripping down his chin that coiled Ranveer's stomach in disgust and disbelief. He could not bear the sight anymore and vomited.

"Heaven or hell, no one can separate us," Maan whispered with his blood-stained lips. He held his beloved's heart tightly in his right hand and his other hand held her in his arms with a firm grip.

Gradually his eyes drooped in extreme mental exhaustion and slowly his heart beat stopped due to extreme blood loss from his wound.

After sometime,

Maan opened his eyes and found him in the basement. He felt no pain, no sadness and no fear as if he found peace at last. He looked in the front and saw him lying with Geet's dead body in his arms. Nakul kaka was crying in front of him. There were police forces crowding that small place and his whole family was handcuffed.

"It's over," a voice called him from behind. Maan turned his head and saw his Geet standing there with her usual soft smile.

"Now it's just u and me," she whispered again.

"What about Kaka?" Maan asked her.

"He will be fine...It will take time, but time heals every scar, be it physical or mental," Geet whispered back at him.

"Are we ghosts?" Maan asked her.

"No...We are free souls...Free from every earthly creation," she smiled again.

"So are we going to be together forever?" Maan asked her with happy tears.

"Yes, we are, my beloved," Geet said.

Flashback of Maan & Geet's soul ended

Maaneet broke the hug and looked into each other's eyes. Soon a bright light, stronger than the sun enveloped them taking them to Heaven. The two lonely souls finally found peace after their death as they didn't have to be conscious of what others would think of their love. For them their love was their god.

So was it the end of their love story? No...It had just begun...
