Prologue
Maan singh khaurana was laying on the beach, his bare back facing the sky. His eyes closed he was enjoying his well deserved break. He sang a happy tune as he listened to the music blaring from his mobile. No family or employee to disturb him for one whole week. suddenly, his mobile starting ringing cutting salman khan's swag ka sawagat in middle. Irritated he glared at the phone for a moment having the urge to just let it ring but at the end he picked it up.
Maan,''MSK speaking.''
His grandmother spoke from other side, she sounded so worried that alarmed that got up as he listened to her. His temper rose as he listened to the latest blunder in which his brother had landed himself.
Maan,'' daadi I will take care of it.''
His one sentence was enough to calm down the old lady, she put the phone down and turned to her daughter, Aasha,'' It's alright Maann will handle it.''
Aasha took a deep breath in relief.

Geet haunda stood in the patio of her haveli. she moved slightly back as she took aim with her slingshot, the stone struck true and an unripe mango fell down on the ground. Her 7 year old nephew shouted with happiness. He ran to get his afternoon treat. Geet watched him happily and turned to go back inside when her eyes fell on her elder sister, Naintara. she was kneading dough in kitchen, which nothing unusual, except they had a dough kneading machine now. curious geet glided into the kitchen, the scent of freshly made rice pallao hit her nose. Ignoring her crying sister, she moved her evil clutches toward the rice and filled her plate with rice. she ate the rice enjoying the taste. food was her first love, other things could wait. only when she was finished then her now happy mind reminded her about her sister's crying. she looked around but naintara was already gone. she skipped outside looking for her. she found her at roof, putting away washed clothes. she looked at one of the suit, wasn't this washed yesterday? did naintara washed it again?
she tapped her sister on shoulder,'' di.''
Naintara turned to look at her,'' what?''
Geet,'' Are you alright?''
Naintara seemed to be waiting to share her sorrows with anyone. she started crying immediately, geet let her cry to her heart as she watched the kites flying in sky. she will need to text brij bhaiya to bring kites for her.
Naintara sobbed,'' he said he loves me but now he is not picking his phone. What I am going to do? I will die Geet.''
Geet stared sheepishly at her sister, she hadn't listened to whole of her sister's story. Thinking it was best to not let her sister know about her mind wandering, she sympathetically patted her on hand,'' So, he is not picking up phone? how did you get his number?''
Naintara blinked,'' dev gave it to me. he used to call me daily when he went back to delhi.''
Geet looked at her sister surprised,'' that city boy, Dev singh khaurana, who came here to buy land for his new factory?''
Naintara nodded,'' I love him geet. he said that he will marry me.'' There was a buzz buzz sound, geet saw her sister open the big knot in her dupatta and she removed a small mobile. Geet watched her jealous. she always wanted a mobile but darji hadn't allowed it.
Naintara listened to call and then, she looked at Geet happily,'' It was dev's mom, she has asked me to come to Delhi to meet her.''
geet her eyes still at mobile phone asked,'' why isn't she coming here?''
Nainatara frowned,'' You are right, why didn't I think to ask her that?''
...
Three days later
