Epilogue
The Light called You
5 years Later
"And the award for the best actress goes to Geet Handa, The announcer said and the hall was filled with applauses. A young lady dressed in a black dress got up gleefully to receive her award. In these 5 years she struggled a lot ...to be herself as she walked to get her award ...her life in the five years rolled in front of her eyes like a movie.
She was still in her thoughts when someone beside her hugged her and gave her the needed boost. It was because of him that she was now cured of her madness she developed ...She smiled at him in assurance and went ahead to receive her award. "Thank you, She said.
"I would say it is ironic that I'm getting an award for a character I displayed on screen when I suffered from the same in my real life too, She grinned making the audience to gasp shocked.
"Haha , yup I did suffer from this syndrome called Folie a deux or shared psychosis but it was when I started my career as an actress 5 years back . I know speaking all this here might even cause a damage to my career but I really wanted to thank the two people who helped me to get cured of this ...my mentor Rishabh sir who always boosted up my confidence whenever I felt down and the second is the person who stood by me since my childhood supported my dreams and loved me when I couldn't love myself ...my love Maan, She smiled with a few tears in her eyes.
Maan smiled looking at her, they have struggled but finally she was fine and that was all that was needed. "I'm really thankful to them to help me through the crisis ..unfortunately my friend wasn't that lucky...I really love her and I'm waiting for the day when my friend Anya will be back with me ...Thank you all, She smiled.
As soon as they went out the reporters surrounded her, "Maam that was a brave act to accept such a thing in front of the whole world...do you think it would affect your career now that you are a leading name in the industry. "I don't think so. And even it did, I know I can find my way out, She smiled. "And ...Maam one more question please.., They tried to ask her. "No more questions please as we have a wedding to attend tomorrow, Maan smiled. Saying that he dragged her to their car zooming away. Geet recalled the day when it all ended.
Flashback
Maan was stunned to see her lying there, he rushed to her. "Geet, Geet please say something..., He cried. He called the ambulance and both the ladies were rushed to the hospital. They were treated for days and were finally ready to go but the ordeal wasn't over yet as both were put into Police custody. Maan proved in the court that Geet wasn't at fault. He showed the proofs giving the court an insight to Anya and Geet's mental conditions.

"Sir as you can see these girls are suffering from a mental condition called Folie a deux...in a simpler language Shared Psychosis. Miss Anya's other persona took over her completely causing her to believe that she is Miss Geet and thereby defying the existence of the real Geet, thus causing the murders, my client wasn't present on the places the murders were committed, the fingerprints and other evidences prove that Anya and Mr Rahul that stalker who attacked my client were behind the murders. Mr Rahul suffered from the same as he too witnessed the trauma Geet faced while shooting for a molestation scene in the movie..., He finished. "So how did your client developed a psychosis..., The Judge asked.
"Sir, Miss Geet has been an introvert all her life, a very quiet and a lonely child. Dance was her passion but when she was offered this movie it was only a very small role...but the Director and the Producer changed her script with the help of that scriptwriter and added a few scenes which my client wanted to always deny...this denial lead to the delusion of her former dancer self. The last straw was the molestation scene shot which influenced the people around her too...especially Miss Anya who was there with her all the time and who knew her fears and also to some extent to Mr Rahul as he stalked her...Miss Geet being mostly isolated started to believe the blog updates which she didn't update but her friend Miss Anya did under her persona of Fake Geet. Miss Anya had the keys to my client's apartment and to eliminate her tried to frame her with the blood stained clothes ...making her believe that she committed the murders ...Miss Geet as of now is under treatment for the same while as for Miss Anya unfortunately, the doctors need to keep her in an asylum as her cure is not possible as of now ..., He finished. The Judge looked at the evidences and released Geet but Anya was held in the asylum under Police custody.
Present
Geet was jerked back to reality by Maan's voice, "You okay."Yes, I'm fine, She smiled. "Geet the past is past, let us look forward to our bright future, He smiled. She nodded and both were welcomed by Dadima and her parents. Geet now lived with her parents as they understood how much their child needed them, they supported her in her dream along with Maan and Dadima. Rishabh proved to be a great friend to her boosting her confidence on the sets and she was finally cured but Anya was still the same...they tried but her condition was not treatable now.
They looked at the preparations for their wedding tomorrow. She looked at Maan who had always been by her side, she realized her love for him was always there but never expressed she accepted him and her feelings. "Thank you Maan, She smiled making him to look at her. "For what, He asked. "For loving me when I couldn't love myself. For helping me come out of my ordeal...for standing by me always, She smiled.
"And I will be there forevermore, He smiled hugging her. "You were never alone we are with you."I know, the light which I was looking for has always been by my side in the form of you, She said.
Their wedding was a grand event and everyone wished them. At the end of every tunnel there is always light ...the pain was gone the apprehensions were clear and now there was only love and happiness for the bright future awaiting Geet and Maan.
