Midnight Call
Geet look at Animaah as she peacefully sleeps. Koora was right next to the crib looking at the door for the intruder. Geet sits on the floor as she scratches Koora's head tryng to make her relax. Its strange what life brings you. First she was rulled in fear by her father, then the stranger she lived with and now Maan, who doesn't even know what he wants from her. What will he gain from all of this? My fear? Korra puts her head on Geet's lap as she remembers how her life was then and what her life became now.
Geet I am going to get you. Come here.
She sticks her tongue out as she runs away from her brother, Abhay. She had three older brothers while she was the baby. Her mother died when Geet was just turning two. Her brothers, Abhay, Arjun and Arnav were her everything. They were always there for her when she needed them and took care of all her demands. Right now, Yash was chasing her not for going through his room but because of the thing she was holding in her hand.
"If you want it then you have to run faster" (Geet yelled while laughing)
"If I catch you then you will regret it..." (He runs faster scaring Geet. She runs faster trying to through anything that comes in her hand towards him.)
"You...will...aahh" (Geet yells when she bumps into someone falling on the floor. Abhay quickly runs toward her after realizing who she bumped into. He helps her get up shilding her behind his back. Abhay gives his hand toward the person who was still struggling to get up.) "Are you okay dad?"
"Do I look okay? How many times do I have to tell her not to run around like she is some kind of kid."
"In case you forgot, she is a kid. She is only 16 and just enjoying her life."
"This kid killed her mother. She is not a kid but a murderer to me." (Geet closes her eyes in pain hearing him taught her again and again. She was used to hearing him say that to her and eveytime his taunts seems to freshen her wounds. She was just a baby and didn't know any better.)
"Geet go to your room." (Abhay motions for her to leave. She looks at her father in fear before quickly running away.) "You shouldn't be talking about a murderer. We all know what you do for a living. The blood on your shirt says it all"
"I don't have time for this just remember to keep her away from me. She is lucky I didn't throw her out of the house yet"
"You won't be able to throw her out even if you wanted to" (Both look toward the door to see Arjun and Arnav standing there in anger.) "You need both of us to do you dirty work. You are powerless without us so in reality if WE had wanted, we could've thrown you out but because of Geet we are tolerating you."
"Bhaiya..." (all started running toward Geet's room as soon as they heard her screaming...)
"Geet what happened? Are you okay?" (All barge into her room except for the father and was shocked to see her state)
Geet opens her eyes looking down at Koora...if only they were with her then her life would've have been different but no they left. They left her alone in this world to fend for herself. It was midnight now and still no sign of her intruder. She gently places Korra's sleeping head on the floor as she sits on the rocking chair looking toward the door.
Maan sees all of this from his laptop and smiles. So you are waiting for me Geet? So sweet! Well sorry to disapoint you sweatheart but I only show up when you least expect it. What is the fun if you are aware of my presence? I will meet you soon but on my terms, right now you are trapped by me. How about I don't let you sleep at all tonight? (He smirks)
Geet eyes were about to close when her house phone rings. She quickly runs outside toward the living room before Animaah can wake up.
"Hello"
"Hey sweetheart..missing me?" (Geet knew who that was...Maan..she sits on her sofa with a smile)
"Are you too scared to come tonight? Fear that I might catch you?"
"No one can catch me...I will come and go when I please. I knew you might be waiting for me..what is the fun in that? I like to see fear in my prey"
"Then let me tell you one thing sweety (mocking his voice) you picked the wrong prey. I don't get scared and frankly speaking you trying to threaten me with my daughter is getting kind of old. You have any new tricks up your sleeve?"
"You have no idea what I am capable of."
"Why don't you show me?"
"When the time is right...by the way how is the scar I left you on your stomach with the gun?"
(Geet touches her stomach remembering the scar or rather scars on her upper body. Did he see her scars? Is he mocking her?)
"You there? Did I touch a nerve or something?" (He laughs out loud mocking her)
"Why don't you come here and find out? Are you scared that I am awake and not vulnerable?"
"I don't get scared sweetheart. So tell me why would your father leave you alone in this world knowing I would come after him one day? Does your old man hate you that much?"
"That's because I don't need anyone protecting me and am sure a person like you had might have so many connections will know about my father and my past so why waste your time and energy in asking me these stupid questions? Why don't you just get to the point of making this call?"
"Precise and staright to the point, I like it! Okay, then I will get startight to the point...but maybe in person...we will be meeting soon Geet..why don't you wait up for me!"
"You know I will sweetheart"
She says mocking him. Maan smiles hanging up the phone. After hanging up he looks at his camera...she was moving around the house waiting for him little did she knew he won't be there tonight. he wanted her to stay up all night look for him but he won't show up. He won't let her sleep. Just when she lies down on her bed, Maan rings her phone again)
"Hello there again..."
"What do you want?"
"tsk tsk someone seems like they are cranky...didn't get any sleep?"
"If you think playing these little games like a school girl will affect me then you are wrong. Do whatever...I have high tolerance for guys like you."
"Meow...like a jungle billi..I love to hunt them down..."
"Not much of a hunter when the prey is right in front of you" (Maan lies down on the bed)
"Oh believe me I am hunting and you will soon know"
"Sounds like my hunter is scared...if you have that much of guts why don't you meet me in the daytime? Scared you will get caught?"
"Is that a challenge?"
"I don't know if you want it to be a challenge then yes its a challenge"
"Alright then sweetheart...will see you tomorrow then...look out for me"
"Will do...bye"
Geet smirks her plan worked...beware Maan you won't know what hit you! (She thinks)
