So the game became where i was stalking him instead of the opposite way around. Did he really think of me some kind of foolish person? Did he really think that I would let some stranger run my life? He doesn't really know me really well or he really is stupid. I just he doesn't notice that somebody is following him. I need to prove to Suraj that i am not crazy and that he really is following me around. I wish i could follow him but I knew better. He probably has someone following me or else how would he know my day care schedule and know when am at work or home? What a stupid person.
Geet stops her car at a red light. She was on her way home now and couldn't be bothered with Maan at the moment. Her back was hurting pretty badly by now and sore too but she could care less about that at the moment. She ruffles through her purse for her cigarettes, she needed to relief her stress. She takes one long puff while looking out the window. She saw a father and about 10 year old daughter walking alongside one another. The father was holding several shopping bags as the girl chatted away. She could tell that the father was annoyed but nonetheless he listed to her stories patiently. Geet smirks and quickly drove away not wanting to think what her life could've been if only her father was different.
"Geet i have arranged your marriage with Rahul."
"Baba but I don't want to get married...I want to go to school and..."
"NOT ANOTHER WORD! I am not here to ask your opinion I am here to tell you of my decision. You are getting married and that's final don't ruin this business deal for me."
"I am a deal for you? I am your daugther baba. Don't sell me out like this. Please he is not a nice guy. I don't like him"
"Yes, you are not my daugther but a murderer. Your brothers can't see your true colors but I can. Anyway, because of him we will be going to America and start a business there."
"Please baba I beg you don't get me married to him. Please" (Geet hugs his legs while crying hystercally. she so wished her brothers were here to help her run away from this situation. She needed them more now then ever.)
Mohindar kicks her away from him while wipping his legs from her touch. "You will be married before your brothers come back. I dont want any hurdles in this trip that is why I sent them away. Until you get married, you will stay in this room with no outside contact." (he picks her up by her hair and throws her on the bed.) "Stay here until your marriage and pretend to be happy"
Mohindar locks the door from outside while Geet banged on the door beging her father for help. No one was there to help her. She was alone.
Geet stops her car when she reached home looking at her house that she once shared with that animal. His memories is the only thing that drives her anger, that keeps her going strong. She hated this house with passion, where it started all but in a way without this house her motivation to prove herself would've been gone. That animal provided that for her. As usual her annoying neighbor, Yash was outside lying on his beach chair soaking in the sun half naked and most probably to give the girls driving by a good look at his body not that he had a good body to begin with. Geet shakes her head as she quickly moves to go inside before he notices her.
"hey there neighbor, you came home early today." (He takes of his sunglasses as he passes his usual over the top smile)
"You have problem with me coming home early?"
"No not at all! Just suprised. Anyway you came on a good time, I made pie. You want some?"
"No thanks! I hate pie. Anyway, if its okay with you..can I go inside my house?"
"Sure just one more thing..I am going to have a bar-b-que party tonight at my house, come if you can. I invited a lot of the neightbors just to get to know them a little better"
"Good for you and no thanks!"
"I will save the pie for you in case you don't come"
He yells as she opens her door. Geet ignores him and closes the door on his face. She hated anyone that tried to be too friendly especially her neighbor. Geet quickly goes to her bedroom taking off her blood soaked t-shirt. One of her wound was fully open with a deep gash. She had to go to the hospital to get it sitched since she couldn't reach for the wound herself. She felt helpless and that is what he wanted to see her as. Geet goes to the bathroom trying to wash away as much blood as she can. Her eyes closed in pain as the water hits her back; she felt numb and some of the memories that she didn't want to think of came back. She felt like her old self all over again. Geet throws everything that came in her hands on the floor in anger. She couldn't die nor could she accept defeat. After all her energy was gone, she drops on the floor. This house served so many memories especially in one room that remained closed forever. Till date she hasn't had enough courage to open the door and embarace what happened in there. That closed room still haunts her.
Her father was the one that introduced her to the animal. How can she forget the dreadful day. No one was there...no one.
"Geet open the door..I am expecting some company"
"yes, dad" (Geet quickly ran toward the door fearing her father's anger. Her brothers were not around to protect her as well. She saw a young man, he was new since he never came to see her father before, Geet didn't like the way he looked at her and just wished she wasn't here at this moment. Geet steps aside letting him in wanting to go to her room asap.)
"Geet go set up the table with lunch and bring some drinks for the guest"
"Baba I will tell Sashi"
"Did I say Sashi? I told you about it..so go in the kitchen before I get angry within half hour"
"Yes, Baba" (Geet quickly runs to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Sashi tried to help her but she knew if her father found her helping for something she was given the task of then no one will be spared from his anger. Geet sighs as everything was done just in time for her father and the guy to come to the table.)
"Geet this is Rahul he will be my new business partner. Say hi"
"Hi Geet..nice to meet you" (He extends his hand and she could feel her father's eyes on her watching her every movement.)
"Namaste" (Geet folds her hands instead of shaking his hand. Rahul slowly retrets his hand back in anger.) "Baba can I go? I have to do some homework"
"Why don't you join us, Geet?" (Rahul said)
"no its fine. I ate already. Baba?" (She hoped and prayed that he gave her permission to go to her room. Something was not right with this guy and wanted to hide herself)
"Hmm you can go" (As she walked, she could feel Rahul's eyes on her. Geet had turned her head little to confirm and sure enough he had a creepy smile on his face while prenteding to pay attention to her father.)
Geet looks at the closed door with tears and still not having enough courage to open it. This room was where everything started and ended. Where she lost the Geet she knew. Where she had killed herself and became the person she is today. Slowly, her hand reached for the door knob opening the door slowly.
