Geet took Maan back to his cottage. She placed him on his chair and looked at his face with happiness. She puts her head on his lap and hugs his waist. She breaks down all her emotions and feelings that she had been feelings since the last few days. She hugs him so tight as if Maan will slip away from her again like last time.
Geet: Maan please talk to me. I have been dying to hear your voice. Please Maan. (She looks at him with teary eyes, she holds his face and makes him look at her) Look, I really am here. Your Geet. Maan see (she puts his hand on her face) see you can feel me. It will be both of us from now on. No one can come between us Maan. No one. I won't let anyone. I promise. We will start our life again. We will get married and live here in this cottage where no one will be able to find us or disturb us. (she looks at him with happiness and tears at the same time) Maan what do you think?
Maan (withdraw's his his hand from Geet's.) I don't deserve you. (he closes his eyes in pain, where he cried silent tears)
Geet: Yes, I do. Maan let's forget everything and start new please Maan. I can't live without you. Please
Maan: I will not be able to give you happiness. Please go away and forget me
Geet (looks at him with shock): How can I forget you? Tell me (she shakes him and holds her mangalsutre in front of him) How can I forget our marriage Maan? How can I forget what we shared? I won't go away from you ever again. (She hugs him really tight by his waist) even if you tell me to go away I won't. I need you just like you need me.
Maan cries hearing her talk...Geet gets up and sits on his lap and hugs him by his neck. She puts her head on his shoulder and closes her eyes felling his closeness. She sleeps on his shoulder. Maan opens his eyes and looks at Geet's face from up close. After so many years, she was with him again. He felt like his soul was back in his body. He was about to hug her back but stops midway remembering how he had hurt her in the past. He quickly puts his hands back down and looks away from her face with guilt. He could feel her grip on him becoming stronger and stronger each passing minute. Maan just sat their feeling her closeness)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the morning, Geet woke up due to sunshine hitting her face. She notices that she was no longer on Maan's lap. She gets up scared, fearing if he left her again. She quickly fixes her dupatta and goes outside looking for him. After her faital attempt in finding him, she comes back to the cottage dejected. She breaksdown the minute she enteres the cottage. "Where are you Maan. Why did you leave me." She lies on the floor, hugging her knees crying. She closes her eyes remembering him. After a while, when she opens her eyes she sees pair of feet in front of her. She looks up and sees Maan. she quickly gets up and hugs him, crying on his shoulder.
Geet: I thought you left me again. I won't let you go far away from me ever again. I won't loose you again. (She cries until she could cry no longer. Maan brings her to the chair and makes her sit. As he was about to get up, Geet holds his hand. Maan looks at her.) Please don't go anywhere. Take me with you.
Maan: ohh umm I have to cut wood for the fire.
Geet: I want to go with you too.
Maan: but
Geet: please, I need you in front of me.
Maan: I am outside. I will leave the door open so you could see me
Geet: Promise. (She gets up and hugs him but Maan does not hug her back. He just lets her hug him to calm her down)
Maan: hmm (Geet lets go of him, she follows Maan till outside of the cottage. Maan looks at her, and Geet stops in her tracks. She watches Maan cut some woods. After, she was satisfied, Geet goes inside the cottage to clean whatever she could but she paid close attention to Maan outside. She would sigh in relief whenever she would hear woodcutting noise. Geet makes mental note of the essential items that are needed in order to live here.
Meanwhile, Maan stops cutting the wood. "why don't you understand Geet, I am not safe. I am a monster. Why do you want to stay with me? Why can't you leave me be so that way, we both can be happy going our seperate ways. How do I make you understand that. I don't deserve you Geet. Just leave, go with Suraj. He will keep you safe and happy not me. What will you get by staying here? I am sorry Geet, I have given you nothing but pain and I know if you stay with me, you will get pain and only pain. That is why it is better if I stay away from you Geet. Maybe you will leave." As he was about to cut the wood again, Geet comes out crying and hugging him from the back. He wanted to hug her so badly and wipe her tears away but he knew he can't do that anymore. He has no right.
Geet: I thought you left, when I didn't hear you cutting the woods. You scared me. Please don't do that again. I will kill myself if you leave me. (Maan closes his eyes hearing her both open their eyes when they heard some noises..Geet looks in front of Maan and sees Yash standing there. Geet stands in front of Maan, trying to hide him) YOU what are you doing here? You will not take me away from Maan. (She hugs him tightly by the waist to reassure that no one can seperate her)
Yash: I came to ask for your forgiveness and to give you guys this. (Few men comes from behind carrying a mattress, pots and pans, food, clothing, everything that Geet needed) I just hope that you both will be able to forgive me. I know what I did was wrong but believe me I had no intention of hurting you. Its just that, money made me blind. You have opened my eyes and from now on, I will surely dedicate my life helping others such as yourself. Please, accept my gifts as forgiveness (he folds his hands in front of them and leaves. Geet lets go of Maan when she makes sure that he left. She smiles at Maan and brings him inside.)
Geet (makes him sit on the chair): Here you can sit here in front of me, while I cook something for us. (She sets everything in the kitchen and beings cooking. She stole couple of glances at Maan in between who was busy looking at everywhere except at her. She knew why he was avoiding looking at her but she was also determined to get him back. When the food was done, she holds it in front of Maan. When Maan makes no effort of eating or even taking the food from her hands, she breaks a piece and holds it in front of his mouth.) Maan please eat. You loved eating from my hands before remember? (Maan nodes with his eyes closed) So, what is stopping you now? Open your mouth Maan. Please. For me? (He opens his eyes and looks at Geet, she holds the food in front of him again waiting for him to open up. She gets happy when Mana opens his mouth. She feeds him with teary eyes. After a while, Maan stops Geet and starts feeding her as well. Both fed each other without removing their eyes from one another. Geet puts the plate down at the end and puts her head on his lap.) I will wait for you Maan, when you are ready to accept me again. (Both stayed like this for what seemed like an eternity)

Meera and Rohit tried calming down Ranjit. He was feeling guilty for lying to his own daughter and not believing her.
"I hurt my own daughter. What kind of father am I? I always kept her happy and yet I couldn't see who she needed the most. "
Meera: Its not your fault uncle. You did what you thought it was right for her.
Ranjit: How can I even face her now? I failed her as a father
Meera: Give her some time. She just found Maan, let them spend some time together and then all of us can go and beg for her forgiveness.
Rohit: Meera is right. We should've understood her situation. Right now, it would be best if we forget whatever happened in the past and move on.
Ranjit: I don't even have the face to ask for her forgiveness
Rohit: Uncle, she is your daugther. She will forgive you. She just needs to understand why we all did this. I know Geet, she will definitely forgive us. Lets just give her some time.
Meera (tooks Ranjit to the bedroom): Uncle, lets get some sleep for now. You need your rest. (She looks at Rohit helplessly, even they didn't know how to face Geet. Both had failed her as a friend.)
Precap: Maan slowly reciprocating...
