Walking alone in an unknown city Maan was looking for a place to stay. Wanting to spend some time alone from city life and just with himself. He started his journey to an unknown destination but now after 10 hours of his unknown unplanned journey Maan was tired with no mobile to get connected to the city, as he forgot his mobile at some restaurant and when he remembered and went there again it was gone, and his last means of convenience, his car ditched him by stopped working in middle of road which he don't know where it lead, he left his car there and started walking and finally he saw a house at distance, he left a sigh of relief and started to walk towards it. He looked around the place but there was no sign of living even though he couldn't deny the fact that the place was looked after properly. He knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer it but even when it was not answered he knocked harder and this time the gate was opened slightly when he stepped inside he didn't saw anyone thought maybe with his forced the gate got opened, he moved inside and looked around the place and saw portrait of woman, maybe in her early twenties looking beautiful

That's my sister, he heard a voice from behind, he turned and saw a woman in her one piece night dress, standing in her glory, Can I help you with something?, she asked checking him out totally

Actually I am looking for a place to stay, He answered unsure not being able to trust the girl, but its fine I will search for some other place, he turned to move

Wait, he stopped in his place and faced her, you can stay here I live here by myself, she told seductively

Wont your sister have any problem?, he asked in confusion

She is dead, She answered monotonously, but he could feel something in her voice but couldn't point at it, he shrugged it off thinking his imagination

Are you sure, you don't mind?, he asked for which he got positive reply

And anyways I was thinking to convert this into a motel ,it's lonely living by myself and it will help me with expenses too, by the way, I am Tanishka but you can call me Tania, she said forwarding her hand

Maan, Maan Singh Khurana. How much will you charge for a room? he asked shaking hands with her

Don't worry, not much or maybe nothing, she said in breathy tone in Maan's ear which left Maan both confused and uncomfortable. Come I will show you your room, saying this she moved towards stairs with Maan following her but as he started to move when he felt someone else presence near him which confused him as he saw no one other than Tanishka he shook his head and started to follow her

*******************************************************

I will see you in the morning, Tanishka said after showing him a room and helping him to settle

Sure and thank you for letting me stay here, He said with smile

The pleasure is all mine, she moved forward and kissed him on his cheek before walking out, but the kiss left him stunned and shocked at his place but was brought by to his sense when he felt gush of wind passed by him, he turned and saw that window was opened but he could clearly remember that the window was closed when he entered and he didn't opened it, this thing again left him in confusion.

But he was too tired from the day happening that he just wanted to sleep and that was what he did, he moved towards adjoining bathroom and got prepared to sleep. After changing he moved towards bed and was asleep in few minutes.

Khamoshiyan aawaaz hain
Tum sun'ne to aao kabhi
Chhukar tumhe khill jaayengi
Ghar inko bulaao kabhi
Beqarar hain baat karne ko
Kehne do inko zaraa..

Suddenly he heard a voice which broke his sleep, he heard melodious voice singing and started to follow it, it was coming from outside of the house, he left the house and moved towards garden and on swing he saw someone sitting, he made his way and saw a girl sitting there, wanting to see the face of the girl he moved forward and stood in front of the swing and what he saw left him in shocked. The lady was none other than the girl who was in portrait, sitting there with her closed eyes. But Tanishka said she was dead, then how was she here , sitting on the swing and singing?, If she is alive than why Tanishka lied? Is Tanishka lying about her death? Or the girl in front of him is lying to everyone saying she dead ?

God so many question which has no answer and all this made him dizzy. He didn't knew how or when he fell down on the ground. But the sudden of someone following voice made the girl jerked herself from her peaceful stance, she looked at Maan and wondered what he was doing here at midnight. Leaving all the thoughts behind she moved him to his room and stayed there with not knowing why, but she felt some pull towards him. She sat on a chair and waited for him to come back to his conscious.

When sometime passed and he still didn't wake up, she left him and started to roam around randomly, like she always do. It was early in the morning when she saw Tanishka leaving the house premises from the terrace but she knew that Tanishka will soon return back here. After all she wants everything as per her. She left from there and was just roaming around the house aimlessly but in all this she didn't notice that Maan was seeing her. Maan was so curious about her but didn't knew how to approach, all this was really messing with his mind, he didn't knew if he is hallucinating her or if she is really in front of him and he was caught off guards when he saw her waving hands towards him, he looked around to see if there was someone else but nope he was alone and when he turned back towards her she just standing few meters away from him when in starting she was at the other end of the room and now here???

Hi! I am Geet, she introduced herself slowly because she doesn't want to scare him more than he already is, which can be easily seen on his face.

Who are you? That were the first three words which came from him after seeing her but before she could answer they were interrupted by another voice

Hey Maan, I see that you an early raiser. Tanishka said as she made her way towards him with seductive steps which made him uncomfortable but he composed himself and pointed towards his left where Geet was standing

Her?... but before he could say something more he was interrupted by Tanishka again

Her name is Geet and she died 4 years back, She told with so much venom in her voice which couldn't go unnoticed but it left him in wonders that how can she say that she is dead when she was standing right beside him but when he turned she was nowhere to be seen. This girl, Geet, was really messing with his head, he shook his head clearing his thought, Leave her. I will prepare breakfast for you but after that I have to leave for town to buy necessities. She informed him and made her way towards kitchen.

Maan saw this as an opportunity to leave from here and went behind her to ask if she could just drive him to town then he would be free from all this weirdness which is happening with him from the time he stepped here

Umm... He coughed to gain her attention Tia, Can you please drop me to the city, actually I don't know the way and if I leave for the city it will be easy for me to get connected to the city. Listening him she stopped chopping and held knife in her hand tightly, he didn't notice it.

Why? You wanted to sometime alone for yourself and you won't get it in the city. Live here for few days and enjoy it and I am here for you, your companion. She was now standing really close to him which was making in uncomfortable, Geet too noticed it but she can't do anything, she doesn't want her to know about her presence and even though she didn't like the way she was close to him but it was only her words which was stopping her to do something because even she wanted him to stay because only he was the light now.

H..how do you know that for what reasons I came here for?... He asked her taking a step back from her creating a distance

There is no other reason one would come to this place. Everyone who comes her just want a life away from city. She took a step towards him but before she could move anymore closer to him they heard a loud bang of window, both turned towards the sound and Maan saw Geet standing there

Geet?, He uttered in shock but his word was more shocking for Tanishka

GEET, GEET ,GEET... MAAN THERE IS NO GEET HERE... SHE IS DEAD, SHE DEAD 4 YEARS AGO. She screamed in frustration and left from there and goes out of house, but what Maan was not able to understand was her frustration for Geet and neither her words. If Geet is dead then why the hell was he able to see her?

He too left from there as he was now alone there but still he was not able to move from the house even when he has a chance but he don't know what is stopping him, he goes to his room and sat on the bed with his head between his hand.

Maan, he heard whispered and he turns towards the voice and saw Geet standing in right front of him. Seeing her he couldn't control his feeling like, frustration, confusion, anger, anxiousness. You know name it and he was feeling it. All type of emotions were playing havoc inside him. He stood and came in front of her standing face to face

Who are you? And why the hell you playing tricks with me?, He asked not able to understand what was happening with him, this house and in his life

I am not playing any trick. She answered softly knowing her emotions won't be understand until he knows everything

Then who are you?, He asked again not knowing what say to her but all he got was silence . He was engulf by silence. A silence which was mocking him, deafening him, making him angry but in reply all he got was silence.

Khamoshiyan.. teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan.. lipti hui khamoshiyan

Getting enough of her silence and moved his hand to hold her from shoulders but she moved a step back, making him more confuse with her behavior.

I am spirit, She said without batting eyes but the reaction was not what she expected. He was laughing, laughing at her, her situation, and this angered her more than anything but not more than that thing. Seeing her eyes splitting fire, he gained controlled over himself and cleared his throat

Spirit? You mean to say you are a ghost?, He asked controlling his laugh but when she gave an affirmative answer he burst out laughing again and started clapping his hand. Nice one. Is this the normal trick you and your sister play on every person who comes here and ask for help?, He asked her in sarcasm tone but he didn't knew what his words was having effect on her

SHE IS NOT MY SISTER, She screamed in anger and without moving an inch from her place, mirror from behind her broke and this shocked not only Maan but Geet too. Maan took a step back from her.

I am going crazy, I am hallucinating. I shouldn't have come to here at first. It's all a trick. Maan just calm down, inhale exhale, inhale exhale. Maan was all the while blubbering to himself not knowing Geet could hear him

You are not hallucinating. I am here- I mean not here but here... God this is so confusing- Maan just listen to me. You are not imaging me nor I am part of your hallucination. As much as I am not here, I am here. She finished not knowing if her words made any sense or not but when she looked at Maan's face she knew he was not understanding her and she knew it was not his fault. If years back someone would have said that she would be able to talk to spirit she would have laughed at their face but now the irony of the situation was that she was the spirit and some guy whom she never met or heard about in her life was able to talk to her and see her. He was the only one who could see her, not her sister or any other person before him could ever see her but he, he was able to feel her too and she wanted to use this for her benefit and she is determined to do it with his help but first she have to make him agree which seems like a difficult task her now.

Maan. Please try to believe, I am not lying. I am a soul, spirit or ghost whatever we used to call it I am that thing right now. I am as much as alive as a dead person could be. I know it will be difficult for you to trust me and I don't know how to make you trust me but just give me a chance to explain because you are the only person who could see and hear and I know I won't be free from this world till I get what I want and in that only you could help. She was explaining herself but when she saw his expressionless face she knew she failed to make him trust. She sighed in defeat and was about to go when he stopped her.

I believe you. Those were only three words but it meant everything to her because he was her light in the darkness. She smiled and stood in front of him with that smile. But before helping you I want to know everything, and I mean everything, from your relationship with Tanishka, your death, you becoming spirit, me being able to see you and in the end but not least why should I help you? What motive you have?, Her smiled was lost till the time he finished but she couldn't deny the fact he was human and it won't be easy for him to believe her, especially when she is a spirit but, But to make him believe her and to have his trust so that he could help her she has to reopen her wound which weren't healed yet and never will.

Kya uss gali mein kabhi tera jaana hua
Jahaan se zamaane ko guzre zamaana hua
Mera samay toh wahin pe hai thehra hua
Bataaun tumhe kya mere sath kya kya hua

My like was perfect like any other, but I didn't knew it came with an expiry date. I was studying in Tennessee when I was informed about of my parents death and I tried to reach to my parents as soon as I could but it was late, too late to even see them. Their funeral was already over before I could leave from there. And no one would answer me about anything. How they died or, or anything, they hide everything from me. She was speaking but she was lost in her past where she was alive, A- and then they told me about th- this house, they told me that this house belong to me, my parents wanted to give me this but I didn't knew they told me about this to make their plan successful.

When I came here somewhere in my heart I started to get attached to this place, this place calmed and soothed my crying soul and made me feel close to my parents but then that day-, She was so lost, it was like she was living that moment again, her eyes were black and was staring at distance, that was until Maan touched her hand and brought her back to her sense. Oddly it should have felt awkward for any of them instead they found solace from that touch.

What happened that day Geet?, He asked even though somewhere he knew that it was not something joyous in fact it must be just opposite of it, it was like a dreading fact for him but a horrendous reality of her which she lived. And to understand her, help her he need to know it from scratch. Even though now he knows something big happened with her but he want to know it so he could punish the culprit.

That day I wasn't feeling well, in fact from last few days I vomiting at every other oddly hours. But that day she forcefully took in the backyard and he was there with dagger in his hand an- and they ju- just kill- killed me I couldn't even save myself. A lone tear escaped from her eyes.

Who were they Geet? And how did they killed you? Why couldn't you save yourself Geet?, He was shaking from anger he was terrified to even know what had happened with her but he wanted to know. He wanted to know everything.

Tanishka Sighania and her father, they are distant relative from my mother's side but as we lived in same city we knew each other but my parents or I couldn't knew their true face. From childhood Tanishka and I were close as sister, we went to same scholl and my parents never differentiate between us. And youknow how they repay them? By killing them and proving it to be a drunk and drive case and closed their filed as accident. That was the reason no one was telling me anything because I knew my dad never drink and if I would have know the reason I would have tried to find the truth. And they sent him for keeping me away from investigation with Tanishka. And me being stupid and emotional fool trusted Tanishka. She was giving me poison in small amount by putting it in my food, which made me too weak to protest when they killed me ruthlessly. And the fun fact in all this is that they did all this for money. She was shaking in wrath remembering what happened in past.

Geet looked in Maan's eyes and all she could see was trust. Trust in her. Trust on her words. But, but there was somewhere something else too, but she couldn't pin point it.

I will help you Geet, help in any way I could to give you justice. Maan said looking at her in her eyes, but their eye contact was broken when they hear Tanishka

Maan, she was standing at her door and seeing her Geet and Maan, both were angry but for now they can't do anything. And Tanishka failed to see anger in his eyes and moved towards him, she took Maan hand in his which made him flinched which she again didn't noticed but his reaction was seen by Geet and she knew just by his expression that her touch was like a burning fire for him too.

But what amazed her most she could read him and his expression like an open book. She saw him removing his hand from her hold.

Maan, I am sorry. I shouldn't have gotten angry on you like I did. Please forgive me. Come on, I bought dinner from city let's eat it together. She said so innocently that if Maan didn't knew her truth she could have easily fooled him but now, now he won't let her look make him fool. He knows her real face and knows that this is all facade.

I am not hungry. He said it in flat tone just wanting her to leave.

But-, She was starting to say more but Maan cut her in between

Just go Tanishka, I am tired and want to rest. He said in final tone and making Tanishka leave from there.

And when he turned to face Geet, he saw no one was there, place was as empty as it could be and he didn't knew how to call her. He can't shout her name that would create doubt in Tanishka's mind and will make her suspicious of why he is again and again talking about Geet , he thought remembering previous incidents where he was asking or talking about Geet.

Khamoshiyan ek saaz hai
Tum dhun koi laao zaraa
Khamoshiyan alfaaz hain
Kabhi aa gunguna le zara
Beqarar hain baat karne ko
Kehne do inko zaraa.. haa..

It was past midnight and still Maan couldn't sleep, he wanted to know more about her and her past but she didn't came again to meet him. He was waiting for her and in this waiting when he sat at the same place where he saw her first time he didn't knew and then words started to flow out from his mouth as they were meant to be sang by him and the words were so adapt for the situation no one could understand other than him. Don't know what he was feeling for her, but whatever it was, it was something every special which couldn't be describe in words.

You have melodious voice, Maan heard and turned, there Geet was standing in her beauty.

Where the hell did you vanished?, He asked angrily, the anger which he was not able to understand but he didn't let her see his confused state.

It makes me suffocate to stand in the same room as Tanishka, listening her Maan could relate with her because since the time he got to know about her he couldn't stand bear her sight too, and then you denied to eat with her. So I went to arrange something for you. She dropped some fruits on the bench where he was sitting by clicking her fingers, I can't make full-fledged 3 course dinner for you but at least could do something . After all you are really helping me and I am obliged for that. She said with slight smile because she was happy that there was someone, someone that would help her to get justice.

You don't have to feel obliged. If I didn't wanted to help you I wouldn't have and now when I decided that I will then no one can stop me from it. He said in determined voice

By the way, do please tell me how did you managed getting this fruits, he asked picking up an apple which was bright red and juicy when he took a bite from it.

4 years like this, I have to invest my sometime somewhere and I can't sir idly, so I learned some small tricks. Her first 2 words left Maan confused

You learned some magic tricks?

Yes

Now that's making me more curious about you. There are still so many things that I want to know about you.

But I told you everything about me, then what more? She was confused

Hmm..., Let's play 20 question? In which we both would ask each other any 20 questions, to get to know more about each other. He suggested and Geet just shrugged her shoulder in response, thinking what more she could say and now anyway everything about her is history, what would he gain even if he gets to know everything about her.

So, Should I start?

Yes and you already did. She winked at him, which left Maan confused, then he understood she was even counting a courtesy question in the game too and shook his head at her innocent childishness with a small smile on his face.

Okay then, your turn

Why are you here?

To find myself

Means?

Ah ah ah, it's my turn, he said with a wink and a frown expression came on Geet's face

I know you are like this since last four years. To which she nodded her head, Then what was your age when you were killed?, He asked curiously

I was 19, Maan couldn't believe she has to face so much in that early age, yes it's true that everyone has their own share of pain but she was just an innocent soul back then and those cruel monster just snatched the life of an innocent who had no fault. But maybe she did a mistake, mistake of trusting them as their own and they backstabbed not only her but her parents too, just for money.

Where are you from?, Geet asked breaking him away from his thoughts

Panchgani

Favorite color?

White

Your parents?

Orphan, This shocked Geet and she was speechless, uh- sorry, she mumbled softly, she knows how it feel without parents but didn't expected him that he had felt this feeling too.

Why are you sorry, you didn't do anything. It was destiny, that they left me in orphanage, He said reliving a little than more about himself

Favorite flower?

Peonies

Now tell me why are you here, And before he could answer she said, in details. It was a tone of authority, and Maan knew she wouldn't let matter go until she knows. It amaze him that in such a little time how perfectly they could understand each other

I completed my studies last year and was in search for job from that time. But without any experience no one was willing to hire me and then I started to do random jobs but nothing satisfied me and I was so frustrated with myself with my life that I wanted to take a break from all this and that's the reason I am here. Now happy that you know why I am here " in details", He said making quoting sign and she nodded her head in understanding.

Why do you only want to avenge from Tanishka what about her father after all he is as much culprit as Tanishka. He asked slowly because he touching a sensitive topic but he wants to know about it and that's was the reason why he was playing this game with her

She killed her own father. She said without any emotion, What an irony, the person who gave her life and did all those killing for her betterment, took his life. And you know what is the most interesting thing, that she didn't even flinched or blinked an eye while killing. She killed him, in this house. But that didn't made me feel bad, maybe because the karma is truly a female dog, karma bite him back for what he did. He killed the person who trusted him and same happened with him too, She ended with a sadist smile but Maan was shocked to know how much cold hearted murderer is Tanishka and he couldn't believe someone could stoop themselves so low that she killed her own father

They didn't knew that by this question the game was ended from both the side now it was time to plan how to prove Tanishka culprit

How do you want to avenge Tanishka, he asked bringing her out from the past

I don't want revenge I just want her to accept her crime, her deeds in the front of whole world. I can't stoop to her level and plan something like she did. I just want justice for my parents, the world should know that they were killed and it was not a case of drink and drive, which Mr. Singhania portrayed in front of world. She was getting frantic thinking what truly happened with her parents and seeing that Maan moved forward and hugged her wanting to calm her. But without her knowing Maan mind was making plan about what he could do to help Geet and to prove Tanishka culprit in front of the world and to make his plan work he needs time and some equipment but most important was Tanishka, how would he keep her away from house to complete what he was thinking.

Khamoshiyan.. teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan.. lipti hui khamoshiyan

Seeing Geet moving a step back from his hug he looked at her with question in his eyes and Geet was staring right back at him, they were looking each other with so many emotion, these emotion were creating a havoc inside them which they were not understanding but were liking them, the feel of them in each other arms, close to each other was making them happy.

Geet was lost in his eyes and then suddenly she realized what she was doing, no it was not impossible she couldn't feel anything, no no no feeling for him will be so wrong on so many levels. She can't have feeling for him. In those moments with him she realized that she has fallen in love him, his care, his trust on her, his ability to make her feel secure, his way to calm her just by his hug but, there will be always a but between them, she can't feel like that. For God sake, she was dead, she was a soul and he, he was human with his future in front of him, he can move on his life and find someone special which was meant just for him. And at that moment she took a decision for him. Even though it meant Tanishka would never be proved guilty but she couldn't spoiled his life for her justice.

I think you should leave from here and never come back, She said quickly removing herself form his hug and then in next second she vanished from here, poof, like she wasn't never there. Her behavior left Maan in confused state but he was determined that he would help her, he had promised her that he would and he won't break his promise. He ignored her words and behavior for now because he has more important work to do. To work on his plan to make it successful. He too left from there and went to his room with deep thoughts and when he slept he don't know.

It was next morning when Maan came downstairs and saw Tanishka with a hand bag, he was confused and at the same moment Tanishka turned and saw him, she moved towards him

Good morning, I was waiting for you only, She said sweetly and in mind that made Maan gag and applauded her at the same time. Gaging for her behavior and applauding for her amazing acting skills. She could make any damn actress cry in shame in front of her acting, she was too good in acting that no one could doubt her. Actually there is some emergency and I have to leave for city for minimum 3 day and maximum 5, she was sad as she didn't wanted to leave him but she didn't knew Maan was dancing inside, he was so happy to know that the main nuisance between his plan was going on her own giving him enough time to put his plan in action. But don't worry, you please stay here and feel comfortable but please don't leave before I am back, she said fluttering her eyes

I won't leave, He said he said softly not to make her suspicious but she took his words in other sense. She thought he was going to wait for her but didn't knew he was staying her not for her but Geet .

Bye, she said with smile and gave peck on his cheeks, Maan clenched his jaws and fist to control himself so that he don't do anything stupid. He just nodded his head not answering her back.

Nadiya ka paani bhi khamosh behta yahaan
Khili chandani mein chhipi lakh khamoshiyan
Baarish ki boondon ki hoti kahaan hai zubaan
Sulagte dilon mein hai khamosh uthta dhuaan

It has been 3 days and in 3 days Maan was alone neither there was Geet nor Tanishka, well for later one he was quite happy but when Geet didn't came to meet even for a second of day it was making him restless, angry but all his emotion were topped with anxiousness. He was worried about her well-being, what happened to her? Was she angry at him ? What did he do that she didn't came to meet him? There were many questions were running through his mind but he didn't had his answer then and hided with the half lied fact that he was worried because whatever he was doing was because her and she was not even there but as the days passed he realized no it was not because of some worriedness or anything but it was because he started to feel more, something more than he could describe and he accepted the feeling whole-heartedly because this was the only relation which gave him happiness and he would do anything for her. And now at last his patience broke because of her hide and seek game. He was going to bring her in-front of him and he is going to confess his feeling for her, whatever may happen he would deal it with later but he want to see her, feel her and she was going to reciprocate his feeling too. He thought with determination.

Well there was one thing that he hide from her , well not hide because she was only hiding from him so how could he tell her that, that there were and are mean to be together. He was actually feeling to have feeling for a dead soul, for a person who don't exist in this world but the book and article he read to know more about spirit helped him to accept his feeling. He was a person he didn't believed in spirit, soul or ghost but when it was happening with him, he realized that Geet was nothing but an angel, his angel. Though he was late to find her, too late but now when he did he won't let anything come in between them and for that he have to close the chapter of Tanishka.

It was night and Maan went near waterfall which he discovered on his own in this last 3 days because Geet was hiding herself from him and when he got bored he went around the place. This place was so serene that it gave solace the moment he saw it. And he also decided that he will confess his feeling for her in this place only.

Geet, he shouted her name but there was no response and on other side Geet was confused why she could hear Maan when he not even in the house and how was she able to hear him? She was pondering on the fact when she again heard him yell his name, Geet, if you didn't came in front of me this moment I will jump into this lake.

Listening him she got worried but then thought he was faking and didn't go thinking that would be better for him. She hide herself from him, she did everything her power just to not go in front of him because in this way she would be risking with his life but that was really difficult for her she was hidden in the attic trying her best to ignore everything around. She heard Tanishka going but then too she didn't came from her hiding, she didn't see what Maan was doing in this last 3 days or how was he. Thinking it will help her in killing her feeling but she failed, she failed hide her feeling, to bury her feeling. With each passing second her feelings was increasing and she was having no control over it. She didn't knew feeling has its own way even for immortals. She was in her thought when she hired a loud splash of water, which terrified her, thinking Maan did what he said. Imaging the place where he could be and in next moment she was there.

Her eyes widen with shock when she saw water moving making it looked like something heavy fall in the water. Maan, she shouted his name, Maan see I am here, come out, see you were calling me, right? See now I am here. Please Maan come out. She was going frantic that another person who she love left her

I am right here, She heard a voice and turned to see Maan standing there with a smirk playing on his lips. I am not going to leave you so soon. You are bounded to me for lifetime. He said moving towards her.

She didn't heard anything and just towards him and hugged him, close to herself to believe her was there right in front of her. Maan was hugging her with same intense feeling, he kept her close to his heart and then next moments Geet broke their hug and took step back.

Are you insane? Who does that? To make me appear in front of you, you thought of this trick. Do you even know what went through me when I didn't saw you. It was like another person I love left me, Listening this Maan had smile on his lips, a genuine smile because in her frantic state she confessed she loves him and now its his turn to answer her, I love you too. They were spoken so softly that even Maan wasn't sure if she heard him but he got his answer when he saw her frozen on her spot, he knew at that moment she heard him. What?, Somewhere she was happy deep inside her heart but she knew it must be mistaken because he can't love, no he couldn't. How can he love her. If, only if she was in other world then she would have jumped with happiness but it's not impossible for her in this life. She started to move back when he held his hand stopping her.

Where are you going?

Back to the place.

Won't you say anything ?

What's there to say Maan?

That you as we confessed our feelings for eachother then-.

You must have gone insane truly. Because you are talking about being in love with me. Me Maan. I am a spirit. I don't have any life. And you. You have your whole life in front of you. You should just leave from, and from here I am leave this city, this state and never look back. That will be better for you. Without waiting to hear him she left, she got vanished in air like before. Leaving Maan standing there alone but she didn't knew that her words didn't had any effect on him because he knows she loves him and he too. And now he would won't be calling her she would come to him on her own . He too left from there but with determination to make her come to him on her own.

Khamoshiyan aakaash hai
Tum udne toh aao zara
Khamoshiyan ehsaas hai
Tumhe mehsoos hoti hai kya
Beqarar hain baat karne ko
Kehne do inko zara.. haa..

Geet didn't knew what happened after she left from there. She didn't have courage to go out and see if Maan was even there or not. If he was there, she would give into her feeling and if he wasn't then that would have broken her. She wanted to cry but she couldn't. What her life became she could love but she can't cry for losing that love because for her own selfishness but this selfishness was for Maan. And if she have to do it again to just make his life better then she would do it again and again and again.

On the other side, Tanishka returned but Geet didn't knew about her arrival. Tanishka was happy to see Maan sitting in lounge on couch, Maan lift his head and saw Tanishka standing in front of him, he took a deep breath to prepare himself. Because it was now or never situation. He don't want to waste any time in confronting.

How was your trip, Tanishka? He said casually but then he face turned furious, did you murdered anyone?, His this question caught her off-guard. She didn't knew what to answer or how to?

Wha- what.. do..you mean? She managed to stammer out

Come on Tanishka, you are getting scared like you had murdered someone. He said and stated to laugh, this made Tanishka a bit okay because she didn't expected him to know. Of course how would he know, she thought and slowly left out an awkward laugh

Geet, Hi! See Tanishka is back. His this statement confused and scarred Tanishka to death. How was it possible. She killed her. She saw him looking behind her and turned to see no one there and seeing no one there confused her more. If no one was there then why was Maan calling out Geet name

Maan what are you saying? There is no Geet. She died 4 years ago, remember I told you. She said slowly not wanting to make her anger come out in front of him.

Died? Really Tanishka Died or KILLED. He shouted with rage which he kept inside himself from the moment he saw her.

What- what are talking about? Maan you must be mistaken. She said getting hyper because she didn't expected him or anyone to know about Geet murder

Mistake? No Tanishka, it was not a mistake but it was a sin which you and your dad did in cold blood just for money. His true accusation was making her angry and she pulled out her gun form her handbag which she carried with her

How did you know? She asked pointing it towards him, but that doesn't fazed him. He stood confidently as before

That doesn't matter. What matter, is that now you are going to ripe what you sow. But I want to ask you why. Why Tanishka? Why did you killed not once but 4 times?, He asked wanting to know why she did what she did.

Why? Really Maan you have audacity to stand in front of me when I have gun in my hand and ask why. I must appreciate your confidence or should I say over confidence. She said with a sadist smile. Okay, I will answer you. Not because you asked me but because I started to love you and I could at least do this much for my love, right? She said titling her head slightly but her expression was going insane.

On the other side, Geet was hearing shouting which she tried to ignore but she failed and her curiosity won. She came at that moment when Tanishka had his gun pointed at Maan and she was going to confess her crime.

I hated Geet, I hated Geet all my life because she got whatever she want or desired and on the other hand, I was denied at every step of my life. When Geet wanted to go and study abroad she was given every facilities one could get but what I get when I expressed same desire. I got rejection. Geet parents gave her everything and my so called dad have to beg to her parents to give me something, he have to bloody beg but no. I didn't wanted a life of beggar and when I was rejected again for going to abroad for studies I made my mind that I would get whatever I want, I would spent as much as I would like. I won't beg or would be answerable to anyone. And planned to kill her parents accidentally on purpose to get their properties but those idiot weren't as much as idiot as I thought them to be. They had their all property in the name of Geet. So I have to remove her from my track too. All was going well I did all the property on my name until that day when my dad started to feel guilty. His guilt would have spoiled everything I worked so hard for. So I killed him too. She said with a smile, a smile which just shows how cruel one could get. I don't want any pebble in my path and if for that I have to kill you then I would do it too. She said tightening her grip on gun. Her this sentence broke Geet's trance and she moved towards Tanishka. She tried to touch her hand but she went through her. It shocked Geet, how was it possible? She could touch Maan but not her. And now what will you do? You were thinking of turning me to authorities but I won't let you go from here alive and no one would know about it like no one knew about others. You will be killed. Poor baby. She laughed like a maniac

You just confessed you crime in front of the whole country, Tanishka. Look around yourself I have installed camera everywhere and its going on live. Everyone knows what you did and even if you would run from here you will be arrested soon or sooner. His statement not only shocked Tanishka but Geet too. She was happy that her parents and she got justice but it was not time for celebrating her happiness but to save Maan. What he did no one could simply just for anyone. At that moment Maan thought to clear Geet confusion about her not being bale to touch Tanishka. Don't be shocked Geet you won't be able to touch her or anyone. A spirit could only touch a person who is their soul mate. That was one thing I wanted to tell you but you were more interested in playing hide and seek with me.

Tanishka was getting frantic with his nonchalant behavior. Here she was standing in front of with a gun pointed towards him and he was talking to Geet. Fine then he will now only talk to Geet only. She realized anyhow she won't be saved so why not commit another crime and anyway she is dead.

Bye Maan. Saying this she pulled the trigger and a loud noise echoed in the house and momentarily paused every moment. Geet stood there shocked because bullet went through her and shot Maan.

Maan jerked a bit feeling the impact of the bullet and started to fall on the floor. Geet rushed to him and pulled his head on her lap, her heart was crying for his pain while his eyes were twinkling with love, there was a smile playing on his lips seeing her. He was happy because she came to him on her own and he didn't have to call her like he had promised himself.

Told you Geet, only soul-mate touch the spirit and I am the one for you. He said with drowsy eyes and satisfied smile

I told you to leave Maan, I told you . You shouldn't have stayed here and see what she did and I- I can't even do anything to help you. She was getting hysterical seeing blood everywhere and seeing his blood even her eyes turned red and she looked at Tanishka with so much anger, rage that if Tanishka was able to see her she would have been turned into ashes in the matter seconds and then suddenly a heavy chandler fall on the floor taking Tanishka and ending her with its glass pieces.

Even Tanishka was at the same place but no one was there to go near her, to make her believe she could live or comfort her or tell her how much they love her and on the other hand Maan had his love with him and he was in her lap, she just wanted him to be okay and live his life but he, he wanted to live his life with her. Seeing her so close to him he closed his eyes with content smile on his face taking his last breath in her arm on her lap.

Khamoshiyan.. teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan.. lipti hui khamoshiyan

After chandler incident when she turned her face back to Maan she saw his closed eyes and lifeless body. It shocked her that he died, because of her. She couldn't believe he risked his life just to give her and her parents justice and in this he lost his life and still he had a smile on his face. But she can't forgive herself because she was the reason that now Maan was dead. It was all because of her. She was hugging his body close to herself when she heard his voice

Geet. She looked back and saw Maan standing there in white shirt that was rolled up to his elbow and blue jeans and then again she saw Maan who was on her lap wearing same dress but covered in blood. You can hug me. I am also waiting for that. He said opening his arm.

She slowly kept dead Maan head on floor and went near Maan who was standing in front of him, she came close to him and touched his cheeks while he wrapped his arms around her back pulling her closer.

Ho- how?, She was confused seeing him, she could touch him, feel him but- but he also died in front of her. Maan understood her dilemma

Like you. I couldn't came to you in that life on time but that's okay because that life don't have any surety but now I will be with you forever and ever. Saying this he touched her head with his, she smiled making him smile too.

And suddenly the saw ray of light which was coming into the room from the sky, asking them to head towards their new life. They saw it and then slowly they went up in the sky.

They couldn't meet or fall in love in real life but now their love will be immortal like them. This was their end but not of their story.

Every ending is always a start of something, something beautiful and worth of every struggle you have faced. So never be afraid of the end. Maybe or surely it's start of something new which only you deserve.

This work was a pure fiction it doesn't have any head or tail just creativity so please don't try to find logic in this work. Any resemblance is just a co incidence. I just wanted to write a new version of Khamoshiyan movie and this was the idea which my brain gave me.Also I know that ending is somewhat predictable but what can I do I am a sucker for happy ending.
