Before you guys begin...please don't ignore this note!
The whole night seemed like a nightmare to her. The whole night, she just laid on her bed trying to think of something different but every time all she kept thinking about the letter her dad had left behind. The mysterious person whose name was Maan, who made a visit to her house and dare to threaten her daughter was taking a tole on her. She was all alone and no one to trust. The detective that she thought would help her turned her away telling her to stop looking for answer. How can she stop when that same person came to her house?
Geet slowly walks to the kitchen area where she had encountered him, felt him and heard his voice. She takes baby steps toward the broken window but when she finally faced the window nothing was broken. She looks around on the floor, there were no broken glass pieces, her door near the doorknob looked exactly the way it used to before the break in. What is going on? It was broken and she had left it like that all night long. She can't be imagining things.
Geet quickly goes to her daugthers room, everything in the room was exactly the way it was before the guy came. The papers were no longer in the dustbin in fact it didn't seem like anyone had even stepped into her room. She looks at Kora who was still sleeping, she bends down near her checking for pulse and sighs in relief. What is going on? Who made it look like breakin never happened? Maan. Was he trying to cover his tracks so if she does decide to call the police there would be no proof? Did she fall asleep last night? She can't remember when her eyes closed and when she slept. What is going on.
Geet jumps when she hears a doorbell ringing. She looks at Animaah who had started crying hearing a sudden noise. Geet picks her up as she walks toward the door to see who it was. She looks through the peep hole and frowns seeing her annoying new neighbor smiling. She opens the door just enough for him to see her while she tried to balance Animaah in her other arm.
"what do you want? I told you not to bother me, didn't I?"
"I know you did but I came to bring you something and to formally intoroduce myself. I know we didn't get off the right way so I brought another pie that I made, by the way, for you."
"I don't want it.." (Animaah starts to cry louder when Geet wouldn't let her touch the door with her little hands)
"ohh is that your cutiepie daughter? Why is she crying?"
"because she knows there is a monster outside that's why." (She replies sarcastically)
"I dont see any monster here maybe a witch"
"What did you call me?"
"I didn't call you anything I just said there is no monster here but a witch. Unless you think you are a witch"
"I don't even know why I am talking to you."
She says and closes the door. Just when she was about to take a step she hears the door bell ring again. She puts Animaah down on her little play pen she had in the living room while she goes to answer the door again. It was her same neighbor again, smiling at her.
"What do you want?"
"I just want to introduce myself to you..that's all ohh and for you to accept this pecan pie I made..." (Geet opens the door fully and steps out while closing the door behind her.)
"Fine...give me the pie..." (He forwards his hand and hides the pie behind his back...Geet sighs and shakes his hand)
"Hi my name is Yash, I am your new friendly neighbor...what's your name?"
"Geet..now give me the pie and don't bother me again..."
"Okay, okay...here. By the way, I have to admit something...the reason I came is well not only to introduce myself but also to see if you were okay. I thought I heard a noise of broken glass or something...since it was dark I couldn't really see much"
"You heard a broken glass noise?" (So she wasn't imagining things, but why would he clean up the mess and replace her window as if nothing happened?)
"Hello you there Geet?"
"huh yeah...anyway I have to go now..."
She quickly goes inside and closes the door on Yash's face..he leaves after few seconds confused with her behavior. Geet leans agains the door, her heart was beating fast, something happened after she went to sleep...why can't she remember anything after he left? She knew she was up but if there was someone in her home then she would've heard a noise. She needed help to figure out answers and she knew who to call.
"Sir, we had picked up our mess and thanks to the colorofoam spray Geet didn't know what was going on but sir i wanted to ask you why did you have us clean up her mess?"
"Maan looks at Adi with a smile as he plans his next move. Its very easy to doubt yourself, Adi. She will keep thinking all day what really happened last night. If I was really there or not. Eventually, all these mind games will make her go crazy."
"Sir, what about the male neighbor?"
"He won't be a threat, I already did a check on him..he is harmless...my target is Geet not the neighbor. Anyway, I will be planning my visit again..be ready Geet"
Maan says with anger. He turns on his lighter and throws it toward the paper pile that was in front of him. All the documents that his father left for him was burnt...he didn't care about the mere tiny land he left for him, no he could and in fact he has more lands then anyone can imagine. All he wants is revenge and slowly he will make Geet go crazy. Then her daughter will pay for it as well.
