"Dadimaa, wo Maan.. I mean he went away... and..." She tried to formulate some sensible sentence not sure how to covey the elderly lady about what's bothering her when she herself is not sure that whether whatever she is thinking is right or just the fragment of her imagination.

"I understood. You were worrying about Maan going like this for meeting without telling anyone, right?"Geet nods her head hesitantly making Savitri Devi to smile at her innocent expression.

"Geet, don't worry like this dear. You know Maan right? You know right that when it comes to work then he don't listen to anyone and anyways this is not the first time when he had gone like this without telling anyone. So stop worrying my child. Maan will be back soon." Savitri Devi tried her best to assure Geet but then nothing can assure her restless heart other than Maan's presence but still for the sake of her Dadimaa she forced the smile on her face.

"Acha I'll do one thing when Maan will come then I'll pull his ears hard and scold him for making my daughter worried like this, ok." Dadimaa joked and that did the trick as Geet gave a genuine smile after long making Savitri Devi to sigh in relief seeing the glow back on her face.

"Now if my daughter is happy then can I get a cup of her special ginger tea? And ya this will also give you chance to prepare Maan's favorite dinner too. What say?" Savitri Devi winked playfully at her last sentence making Geet to blush and Savitri Devi mentally patted herself for successful effort of distracting Geet from whatever was worrying her.

"Abhi layi." Geet rushed to kitchen all blushing leaving Dadimaa behind shaking her head feeling happy to find her chirpy daughter-in-law back before resuming back her task of watching news where some debate on a political issue was taking place.

"We regret to stop this debate in mid for this breaking news."The voice of the reporter in the TV caught everyone's attention in the room as they turned their attention towards TV unknown of the fact that this very news will change their lives.

"There is a news about a fatal accident happened at xyz road in Delhi. Seems like the car went out of control, resulting it to hit into another vehicle and there is a news of non-survival of the driver of the car. If sources are to be believed then this car belongs to a famous Businessman Maan Singh Khurana. Apparently, it is M. Khurana only who was driving the car. We are trying to get in touch with his brother Dev Singh Khurana who is said to be present at the accident site or the inspector investigating the case but not being able to get in touch with anyone of them. Now we are taking you straightaway to the accident site where one of our reporter is already present. Mr. Ravi, what is the exact situation at present over there?"The visual in the TV shifted from Reporter's desk to the accident spot where one of the reporter of the news channel is already present to cover the story while everyone in KM was watching the news in horror including Vidyut.

"Garima, as you can see behind me the Car has been turned into ashes and it is expected too due to the way it has been blasted. Bataya ja raha hai that the car was too much in speed to get controlled and hence collided with the truck coming from opposite direction. We had a word with the truck driver too who is also very much injured and according to him the driver of the car or should I say Mr. Khurana was driving in very high speed and couldn't control the car even after listening to horn of the truck many times. Though it's difficult to say at this moment that whether it is an accident or a pre-planned murder and everything can be cleared only after the official statement of the investigating officer. As you can see the condition of the car it is very much clear that anyone driving the car in this situation can't be survived. However, we are still waiting for an official statement from Mr. Dev Singh Khurana who seems to be out of reach at this moment but right now all we can conclude is that Mr. Khurana is no more and if this is true then business world has lost one of its gems. We are conversing with the people present I the accident spot and..." The rest of the words of the reporter faded in the oblivion as the earth slipped beneath everyone's feet in the KM as they tried to register everything shown in the TV.

Their eyes widens in horror as they looked at the condition of the car shown in the TV that's clearly justifying the reporter's words. Dadimaa almost fainted as she fell on the sofa clutching her heart after listening and watching the view in the TV and Vicky and Vidyut instantly rushed to her to hold her and calm her down. Even NT was horrified at the moment as she rushed to kitchen to bring the glass of water for Savitri Devi. Vicky and Vidyut rubbed her hands which were turning cold by every passing minute comforting her with their words about telling her that Maan is alright.

"Dev... Call Dev... I want to talk to him." She said between her labored breath and Annie instantly dialed Dev's number which was coming unreachable.

"Dadimaa. Everything will be fine. Please calm down. I'll call Adi right now and enquire him about the truth. I am sure that Maan is perfectly fine. Please don't panic like this." Vidyut tried her best to comfort her with his words while the reporter in the background continuously telling about how grave the accident is and how there is no chance that Maan can be survived increasing the misery of the people present in KM but before anyone can switch off the TV they all heard the shattering sound of something and they turned to looked at the source only to find Geet standing with the horror on her face while the cup in her hand was shattered into pieces. The look on her face clearly said that she heard and saw everything that is been shown in TV as she stood rooted on her place looking at the flashes of Maan's car burning into ashes with reporter's words continuously ringing in her ears.

"Geet." Annie and Savera shouted in unison in horror when she saw Geet fainting and instantly rushed towards her to hold her from falling along with NT who came over there with the glass of water.

The sight at KM was really very much depressing at the moment as no one could understand whom to calm down first; Dadimaa or Geet as both their conditions are worse at the moment. Vicky instantly sprinkled some water on her face before moving her towards the sofa while Vidyut held Dadimaa to stop her from collapsing. Annie rubbed her hands with NT and Savera rubbing her forehead and feet continuously as Geet tried to gain some consciousness while Vidyut and Vicky tend to Savitri Devi. Nakul who witnessed everything instantly switched off the TV so that it doesn't disturb anyone anymore with the news. They could hear the phone of the landline ringing but none could attend it and neither they want to as they know that it must be either from the reporters for confirmation of the news or from the friends and relatives who must have watched the news.

"Maan.. My Maan..." All heard Geet blabbering continuously as she started to gain consciousness bringing tears to everyone's eyes.

"MAAN!!!!!" She shrieked out loud as soon as she gained consciousness sitting on the sofa before bursting into heart wrenching cry as she registered everything in her mind and the way she cried can even bring tears in the eyes of gods residing in the heaven then people in the KM are just mere human beings. But can her heart wrenching cries can be heard by gods and turn back the turn of events, everyone wonders.
