ALL THE NAMES & PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS (if any resemblance to persons & places is purely coincidental). Any royal titles, MEDICAL TERMS, MEDICAL PROCEDURES, MILITARY TERMS, MILITARY PROCEDURES, Punjabi terms, architectural terms, IT terms & programs, office hierachy, wedding rituals, etc. are from my imagination hence THEY ARE NOT TRUE.

Location : KHURANA MANSION (KM)
These three years brought lot of changes in Khurana family. As Maan had taken over as CEO of Khurana Industries i.e. Khurana Constructions, Khurana Interior & Khurana Hotels, Vicky refused to work with him and left with Rishabh, Sadhana and Yash when they left for London. Savitri Devi had fallen ill after Geet's death and remained in her room doing 'pooja-paath' after handing Khurana Industries to Rajveer and Maan. Rajveer due to weak health decided to only take charge of Khurana Hospitals and Khurana Laboratories. Sumitra took charge of Khurana Foundation as Savitri Devi could not. On paper, Maan had control of only Khurana Constructions, Khurana Interior & Khurana Hotels, but in reality he had control of full Khurana Industries in India. Maan truly was the owner of Khurana Industries India in the business world. Sameera had many times tried to contact Maan from jail but Maan ignored it. He got whatever he had wanted in terms of property, wealth and status due to which he had agreed to marry Geet. But he lost love, care and warmth of his family. He was living like an orphan within his family. He could not move out because of his grandmother and father's poor health. He use to come late at night but no one was there to sit with him. Servants served him food where his mother or Dadimaa use to serve him food earlier. Each day he was learning the positive and negative aspect of money. He was slowly becoming good judge of character. The only family members who spoke to him were Rishabh, Sadhana and Yash, but they were far away in London.

It was one evening when Maan returned home early and found his father engrossed with Minister of Defence and few senior Army, Air Force and Navy officers and his mother with Nakul's help serving tea and coffee. Seeing Maan they all got up shaking hands with Maan,"Good evening Mr. Maan Singh Khurana we have come to Khurana's for help!"
"Please be seated. Khuranas are always ready to help for country's betterment."
"Mr. Khurana, we have requested Dr. Rajveer Khurana to develop a formula for National Defence of our country. As its a matter of National Security, it cannot be developed in big or small metropolitan cities' laboratory. Hence, we have told Dr. Khurana to come with us to a secluded area and work there under security but he is refusing to move from Delhi due to his complete laboratory set up being here."
"There is a solution for this. Why doesn't the defence services gives us a secluded area where KC can construct an extremely secure laboratory? Then my father can work there under strong security."
"But it will take time to build the laboratory?"
"Yes I agree. So till then he can work here under military security."
All the men were in agreement with this solution and decided to do as Maan stated.
Location: Undisclosed place in centre of Thaar Desert, Rajasthan
Maan just arrived in his jeep to Thaar Desert but now was lost. Maan had come for site survey of Rajeev's laboratory and now could not find the Military Camp from where the officers were to guide him to the site of construction.
He saw a group of gypsies some distance away and thought to ask them the way. On approaching the group he saw two women dancing and playing around singing, "Jaanu jaanu ri ...." (see from 00:39)
Once their dance was over he said, "Sunno, kya tum logo mujhe sainikon ke camp ke baare mein batta sakti ho?" (Hey listen girls do you have any idea where is the Military camp here?)
"Yeh kamp kya hoowe hai babu-sa?" (What is this camp?) One girl said.
"Arre kamp maane woh jo sainikon ka shivir se. Kyun babu-sa?" (Kamp means Army officers head quarters! Isn't that so?) Other girl(whose back was towards Maan) said.
"Haan, haan wahi!" (Yes, yes thats the one!) Maan said exasperatedly rolling his eyes and looking up in the air trying to be patient. He was very hot and irritable.
"Ganga, tu leja babu-sa ko, mhare ko bahut kaam hai." (Ganga, you take this man, I have lot of work!)
"Kaam toh mhare ko..." (Even I have...) But before Ganga could complete other girl pushed her playfully in Maan's direction. Ganga turned her back completely towards Maan drank some water and covered her face with long ghunghat and said, "Babu-sa, thaare ko pani chahiye?"(Sir, do you want water?)
"Nahi, nahi mere paas hai. Abb chalen??" (No I have water. Should we leave.) Maan said impatiently!
"Haan!" Ganga said. Maan sat in the jeep but Ganga started walking ahead on foot. Maan drove near her and said, "Tum kahaan jaa rahi ho?" (Where are you going?)
"Babu-sa, ye registhan se. Yahaan gaadi naa chale yeh do pair chale hain" and kept walking. Unwillingly Maan followed. She went up few sand dunes and down few sand dunes making Maan angrier and irritable but then suddenly she said, "Yeh raho thaaro sainikon ka shivir!" (Sir, this is a desert. Cars do not run here only your feet make you reach your destination.Unwillingly Maan followed. She went up few sand dunes and down few sand dunes making Maan angrier and irritable but then suddenly she said,Here is your destination.)
When Maan looked around he was shocked they had reached and it only took 15mins. Just then a Lieutenant came running and yelled at Ganga,"Tum phir aa gayeen? Maine kahaa naa ki abhi Major Rudra Pratap Singh yahaan nahi hain. Kal aayege. Abb bhaago yahaan se!" (You have again come? I told you that Major Rudra Pratap Singh is not here he will come tomorrow. Now get going.)
"Hum bade sahab se milno nahi aayo. Iss Babu-sa ko thaare se kuch kaam hai. Abb hum jaa rahe hoon." (I have not come to meet your commander. I have brought this gentleman, he has some work here. I'm leaving!) Just then a gust of wind blew and uncovered Ganga's face. When Maan saw he was stunned as it was the same girl who woke sexy black dress at the bar in Delhi and then punched those goons.
Maan held her hand in a tight grip and twisted behind her back saying, "Tum yahaan? Theek se kyun nahi bol rahi ho? Ek gaawon wali aurat ki tehare kyun bolrahi ho. Uss din toh tum Delhi ke Club mei ek mehangi sexy dress mei aur haat mei drink liye ghoom rahi theen!" (You are here? Why are you talking like a villager? That day in the club in Delhi you wore a designer dress and were drinking!)
"Oh babu-sa yeh kya bakar-bakar kar rahe ho? Hum gaawon wali hi toh hain, toh wohi lagengi aur wase bolangi. Hum kab Dilli gaye aur humne kab sharab pee? Sharab peena buri baat hai." (Oh Sir, what are you talking? I'm a villager so I'll speak like one. When did I go to Delhi and have alcohol? Drinking alcohol is bad habit.) Then she twisted her hand free from Maan's grip and walked away with slight thumka in her walk swaying her hips.
Lieutenant who was till now observing their exchange in silence, finally spoke,"Sir, did you want to meet someone?"
Maan came back to the reason of his visit and said,"I need to see your senior officer regards the site visit."
"Please follow me Sir!"
Maan was taken to Colonel Ranjit Singh and was guided to the site decided for Laboratory constuction. Maan finished his work and left for Delhi. But the mystery of girl in black dress and this gypsy girl was making him curious and inquisitive.
