Maan sat in his cabin gazing at Geet's photo...he recalled his first meeting with his wife...
****
Preparations to proceed to Hoshiyarpur were on in a full swing and there was a lot of hustle and bustle in the Khurana Mansion...plates were being laid with sweets and jewels! Maan stood at the base of the staircase and gazed at the preparations... He wasn't ready for a 'real' marriage yet! Of Course he had been through fake marriages for money when he was not well off and he lived alone...but habit was habit... Harshavardhan came to him wiping off sweat from his forehead...
Harshvardhan: Maan! chaliye...aap bhi tayyar ho jaiyye...hum kuch hi der mein niklenge...aur haan...wahaan hindi mein baat karni padegi aapko...
Maan: papa...main abhi shaadi ke liye tayyar nahi hoon...mujhse nahi hoga...
Harshvardhan: Hum aapse shaadi karne ko nahi force kar rahe hain Maan...aap ladki dekh lijiye aur shaadi baad mein ho jayegi...
Maan: umm...ji!
After Harshvardhan left, Dev came to Maan trying to counsel him...
Dev: Maan bro...is baar seriously shaadi kejiyega...please...ek aur ladki ki zindagi mat barbaad kijiye!
Maan: main koi bhi kaam tumse pooch ke nahi karta...mujhe jo karna hoga...karoonga...
Dev: bro lekin...
Maan: bas Dev!
Hoshiyarpur was a very small town in Punjab and as soon as they reached there...they were welcomed by the town people since they were the guests of a very influential family of Hoshiyarpur- The Handas... Their car stopped in front of wrought iron gates and the guards opened it for them... Soon...a huge mansion rose from the horizon. Maan's eyes brightened and he thought- MONEY!... The Khuranas received a very warm welcome from daarji and Joginder Handa- the girl's father.
When the Khuranas eased a bit, they asked about the girl...
Harshvardhan: daarji...aap apni beti ko to bulwaiyye!
Daarji: ji...abhi bulwata hoon...Rano...jaa Geet ko le aa
Rano: ji daarji...abhi layi...
Maan thought: Geet! pretty name...
Soon Rano came in holding a girl's shoulder. She wore a beautiful pink patiala suit and looked bewildering. The elders left them alone to talk. Geet went away for a moment and then came in holding a cup of coffee in her hand.
Maan: aapko kaise pata ki...main chai nahi coffee leta hoon...
Geet: ji maine...daadima se aapke baare mein sab pata kiya tha...
Maan: ohh...(as he sipped his coffee) mmm...yeh to bilkul waise hi hai jaisi main pasand karta hoon!
Geet: changi hai? thank you! (She smiled sweetly)
Maan: to aapke shauk kya-kya hain?
Geet: umm...abhi to stomach cheerna aur chaku maarna...(giggled)
Maan: ji!
Geet: ji actually main medical student hoon aur main forensic science mein interest rakhti hoon!
Maan(relieved): ohh!
She told him many things about her and her friends and so did he. Soon daadima came in to take away Maan. They hadn't realized that they had spent 4 hours chatting to each other...

Geet rushed to her lab and as soon as she entered the premises...her throat started burning heavily... human blood! Before opening the door... Geet took a huge breathe assuring herself she wouldn't need to breathe when inside as their species couldn't breathe...
Geet: Doctor Geet reporting Sir!
ACP: Yes Geet! dekho yeh laash...humein yeh laash local train compartment se mili hai...pata lagao ki iski maut kab aur kaise aur kahaan hui...I want the report within 24 hrs.
Geet: Sure Sir!
When ACP left... Geet put on her mask and ripped opened the corpse. She cleared the stomach and started testing the contents of the stomach. She even examined the dress of the corpse and found two papers...suspiciously left by the team during Investigation...
After 5 to 6 hours...her tests finished and she concluded her research. Now she commenced on cleaning the lab as the assistants were on leave and prolonged exposure to blood-scent would have exposed the dark sight of our dear Forensic Expert... Her throat burned during the entire session of cleaning up...
her phone rang...
Abhijeet: Dr. Geet! kuch progress hua case mein?
Geet: hmm... aap log aa jaiyye...maine report bana li hai...
Abhijeet: arey waah! hum abhi aate hain...
It took the team less than 15 mins to reach the lab and that was enough for Geet to calm down...
ACP: haan Geet...kya pata chala...?
Geet: sir...isko waise to bullet se maara hai lekin mujhe iske stomach mein se cyanide mili hai...matlab agar ise goli nahi bhi lagti to bhi yeh mar jaati...
ACP: cyanide!
Geet: ji sir...yeh mainly central nervous system ko affect karti hai...
Abhijeet:lekin cyanide to bahut jaldi asar karta hai?
Geet: hmm...ho sakta hai...cyanide ki dose lete lete hi iski maut ho gayi...!
ACP: haan...yeh ho sakta hai! Great job Dr.!
Abhijeet: Geet to aisi hi hain! haina Geet!
ACP shot an angry glance at Abhijeet and the team left.
Delhi- Same time
Pinky, Maan's assistant kept knocking the door but no one answered! She even called- Maan Sir! Sir!
Some time later, Maan admitted her but he looked lost!
Pinky: Sir...humari mishraji ke saath meeting hai...aap bhool gaye...(Pinky burst into laughter)
Maan: shut up!
Pinky: S-ss-sorry!
Maan: chalo meeting ke liye...aur jis post pe ho...usse badhne ki koshish bhi mat karna...samjhi..?
Pinky got real scared now: ji Sir!...sorry!
Mumbai: 9:00pm Geet's Residence-
Geet rushed to her room as soon as she entered her house. She had lots of work to do... some time later... CID team entered their residence...
Ayesha: Oye Geet! tere colleagues aaye hain
Geet ran down and looked at her team...: Sir...aap yahaan?
Abhijeet: Happy Birthday Geet!
Abhijeet hugged him tightly and then shivered... Geet was ice-cold!
ACP: Geet beta...Happy Birthday...!
Abhijeet opened a box and a lovely chocolate cake emerged out. Geet and other family member of her exchanged a glance as Abhijeet forced Geet to cut the cake...
