Part 5
In the shadows
"What are you talking about Geet, Maan said. "Listen you have no fault in this, he was murdered and don't take such blames, Maan tried to get to her but she had now fallen too deep. "Maan...those clothes...in the closet...they have blood on them...Rohan's blood, She spoke between her hiccups. Maan opened the closet and was shocked to see blood stained clothes there. "Geet does anyone else has your apartment key, He asked. "No, She said. Maan was confused but he knew his friend, she was not capable of such a thing so who is framing her and why was the question. He decided to investigate the matter now but secretly not wanting to disturb her further.
He hugged her and consoled her. He made her sleep and sat by her. He dialed a number, "Please I need your help. He told the concerned matter to his confidante and he decided to investigate this.
Movie scene
"I'm scared now, She admitted. "Don't worry, you are worried that you will be the person you were a few minutes ago ...We all form this illusion within ourselves but there is no way it can take over you completely and become real, that is why we hold on to a specific persona which is the real us, The Detective tried to console her. "What if I'm the person I was ...I'm taken over by her completely, She muttered.
Amongst the crowd a man was watching this shooting, Geet turned and saw that man and recalled him being familiar. "...Is he that fan ...who came to my concerts...yes but why is here..., She said. "Cuttt, The director yelled. "Geet, that was not your dialogue, He said. "I'm sorry, She apologized. Geet turned again but found that man missing she was sure to see him grin at her. Geet visited her old troupe members. They were elated to see their old friend. "Geet, its great to see you again, Radhika gushed. "We missed you, Priya hugged her. "I miss you guys too ...seems like you are still on top...I'm happy, She smiled. "We saw your progress too, Anya told us. We are happy for you, They smiled. "Priya, Radhika...I need your help, She said. "Hey girls, you are up next, They heard their sponsors call. "Cominggg, They yelled back. "Geet could you wait, we will be back, we are sorry but as you heard we are up next, They apologized. "It's alright, I will be here, She smiled.
Geet recalled her old days where she was happy. "Enjoying, aren't they, She heard her voice again. "Don't you wish you were there...I guess not, as you an actress now...no you are now a dirt ...tainted ..., She heard that taunting voice again. "What do you want, She screamed. Instead of getting an answer she heard that giggle again. "Geet, She turned to find Anya there. "What happened are you alright, She asked. "I...I'm fine, Geet said. "The shooting will be wrapping up in few days, Anya said. "Your movie be on floors in a month or so, She told. "Oh...okay, Geet said. Anya left for some work and Geet waited.
"Hey Geet, sorry you had to wait this long, Priya said. "Its alright, so how is it going, She asked her old friends. "We have made it to the top ten this week, Radhika told happily. "We heard about your progress too and pray that your movie becomes a hit too, They said. "You wanted to ask something, Radhika asked. "Umm...do you guys remember any specific fans attending our concerts...like a man, She asked. "Geet we have many fans ...but we don't recall anyone in specific, Priya said. "Ah, its alright, may be its just in my head, She smiled. They bid goodbye to her happy to see her after long.
Maan called her worried about her whereabouts, "Geet where are you. "I'm here on my old troupe's concert, She said. "Alright stay there I will pick you up, He said. Maan picked her up.
"Were you missing them, He asked. "Yes, a little..., She lied. "Geet...I have thought of something...why don't you shift with us till the movie ends. It's only a week right, He said. "Maan ...I don't want to get you in trouble...you are a well known lawyer and I don't want you risking it for me, Geet finally said what she felt. "We have been together for as long as I can remember, He said. "I know ...but then it was different. You saw those clothes in my closet right. Maybe I am on a killing spree ...may be it was me who killed Rohan as a part of me hates them, She said. "Geet, we have been through this, it wasn't your fault and I'm investigating who did this with you and they will be punished soon. Until then, you can live with us, He insisted. Geet averted her gaze not knowing how to deny his hopeful eyes but she can't get him involved much than she already did not knowing that they were being watched.
She went home and again logged in to her website. The Real Geet.
Fan question: How was your day like
"I was a little depressed today but the mails from you guys made me happier
"Mail??, She thought scrolling down.
"Help me everyone, I don't want all this ...its that scriptwriter's fault ...I don't want any of this...help ..., She read and scrolled down to find a whole page filled with that word...help.
"What is happening...I haven't written all of this, She said.
"Of course not you ...the real Geet is doing this. I know deep down you want to go back to your troupe again. , She heard the voice and the giggle again.
"No, I'm not a dancer anymore. I'm an actress.
"No...really ...you say that...oh yes ...you are just filth, a tainted dirty woman...no one likes tainted women like you.
"No...I'm not tainted..., She yelled.
"Like I said, now I'm the only one who will be in the spotlight, while you ...in the shadows, She giggled.
"Stop it, who are you, Geet yelled but only heard the giggle.
The scriptwriter was going back from his work. His phone rang and he grinned, "Yes, Mr Producer, alright sir...ahan...okay. He was going to sit in the car when he heard a faint song and a giggle. "Who is there, He yelled. When no one answered he decided to check on his own. He went towards the direction but in the next instant his screams were the only thing that echoed in the otherwise quiet parking lot.
The next morning Geet heard someone knocking on her door. She opened the door to see the media there. "Miss Geet, this is the second murder..., They asked. "Please leave her alone, She heard Anya. "Anya, what happened, She asked. "The scriptwriter, Mr Raghav has been murdered, his body was found inside the elevator, She informed. "Geet, don't worry, we are trying to solve this ...you just take rest". Maan was there and now the media turned to him, "Sir this is the second murder, what is your stance on this. "The Police are investigating and so am I, the real culprit will be punished soon, He answered calmly. "Sir, we heard that you and Miss Geet are ...together ...as in ..., The media person hesitated but Maan got the hint.
Geet was shocked when she heard this question, and decided to confront them but Maan answered, "I love Geet and she will be my wife as soon as her film wraps up. He turned around to see a shocked Geet staring at him for answers.
