He feels a hand on his shoulder, but he was too disoriented and worn out with the battle within himself to give a response.
" Bro what are you doing? Why are you sitting in the rain?" Vicky softly mutters now kind of feeling guilty for putting his brother through this, but it was the only way to make him realize he can't live without Geet.
Still no movement or response, which was now making Vicky a little concerned and worried.
"Bro" Vicky says shaking him a little to make him snap out of it.
Maan finally responds by getting up and walking soullessly away from everything.
"Bro! Wait! kaha jarahi ho".
Nobody could realize what immense pain and battle Maan was going through at the moment. He could still picture her accusing and piercing eyes telling him " You love me" which just kept lingering in front of his very own eyes. He was in no state to respond to anything or anyone. He just needed to be alone to deal with this pain.
After receiving no response Vicky screams out, " Maan bhaya!" unleashing the inner anger of Maan. The last thing he needed was another person to scream at him, but Vicky was trying to get Maan to snap out of it never intending to be rude.
Maan turns around and holds him by the collar, " I AM GOING TO GO BURN AND ERASE HER FROM MY MEMORY SAMJHE TUM", he screams.
" If you want to help me than tell me how to get her out of my thoughts Vicky. She tormented me when she was here and now even when she is gone from my life forever she still . . . continues to . . . torment me" maan whispers the last part in pain.
Vicky: There is no remedy for it . . .tum badal gayi ho bai and there is no turning back. Take it from someone who has been through it. Once someone has stolen your heart it is almost impossible to find and get it back.
"I don't love her!" he says in a loud voice, but was he trying to tell that to Vicky or to his heart? Maybe if you repeat the same lie again and again you will start to believe in it and that was the same tactic Maan was using to ease the immense and pitiless pain he was dealing with.
"I. Don't. Love. Her!" he glaringly says as if saying it in 4 sentences to emphasis his point and turns to leave.
Vicky calls out, " Geet Sam nahi hai!"
"Sam . . . Sam . . . Sam" ringed through his ears. He heard her name after 4 years! His fists started to curl and shake uncontrollably. Nobody dared to bring her name in front of him, but Vicky made the mistake again. He turned around giving him the death stare with his piercing pain struck eyes.
Vicky stumbled back a little as he was taken aback at the intensity of Maan's rage and anger, but he had to do this.
"Why punish yourself? Forgive yourself bro and move on!"
Maan fists uncurl and he closes his eyes in anguish. What was he doing? Didn't he say that he would never hurt Vicky or others in his life because of Sameera. He opens his eyes and just leaves. . . or more like ran before he let his anger get the best of him.
Vicky sighed and left him leave. He thought it is best if he calmed down a little. He was in no state to even listen to himself let alone other people.
As he walks back toward the office he notices Geet blankly staring in the air clutching her sari.
Vicky couldn't tell if she was angry or hurt, maybe even both. But Geet didn't hear anything about Sam. Geet's heart almost felt like it stopped beating hearing Maan's piercing words about herself. She decided not to listen anymore and so she didn't . . . not allowing herself to weaken anymore.
Vicky: If I were you I wouldn't believe in any of those words. Don't take it to the heart. We gave him a lot of dose of pain and he took all of his pain out in anger. That is not new for us that is who Maan is. Don't worry he will come around just give him some more time.
" I know you are right, and that is what I am trying to tell myself . . . but still once a person gets hurt and the wound heals a scar is left hai na? Same with me . . . right now I am trying to heal myself from those harsh words and I am left with only a scar" geet says in a monotone.
Vicky: Geet . . .
"Those words have left its mark, but it will just be a reminder . . . A reminder that I will need to fight back harder in order to win. Who has ever won a battle unscathed Vicky?
Today was just the first battle and people might say it was a draw because both sides got hurt, but I think I won this first battle. The fury in maan is only because it is getting harder for him to run away from the truth and by raging and screaming out the truth doesn't go away either.
Vicky: You scared me for a second there. I thought you actually believed his words that he doesn't love you. You are very strong Geet. You have been through a lot, but that which was your weakness has now become your strength.
"It will take much more than that to completely weaken me. Today was just a small battle tomorrow I will initiate my second plan" She says with sheer determination.
*********************************************************************
It was almost past midnight and Maan was still working out and performing his tai chi.
Three hours non-stop. His heart was not the only thing aching, every fiber and cell in his body were as well, but nothing could stop him.
Every memory of her just kept coursing through him and he wasn't going to stop till the memories did.
He was going to associate every memory with one physical pain toward his body as if to train his mind conditionally not to remember her. Little did he know that it wasn't his mind that was playing tricks, but his lover.
***Flashback of her smile and laugh*** he slashes at his body with some sort of chain.
***Flashback of her touch . . . of her sensuous lips against his*** he grabs the stick with fire at the ends making him feel the heat close to his body.
*** Flashback of rain scene and her words " you miss me . . . toh phir kyun yeh duriya maan? You love me maan! You love me!****
Maan jumps and breaks the solid block of ice.
His body was overly exhausted on him now. As he goes to do a kick in the air instead he trips and comes slamming into the cold floor. He finally stops and looks over his body, which was covered in slashes and bruises. Even cut along the hand, which blood was oozing out of.
"Bas bahat hogaya . . . bahat hogaya!", he says as he takes out her picture.
"I have to erase her from my memories". He takes out a match and lights it on fire.
He brings at the edge of the picture and it starts to burn . . .
************************************************************
Geet screams in pain as the hot boiled water spilled all over her hand. She screams in pain as she puts her burned hand in ice-cold water. Her tears ran non-stop even though her hand was under cold water she could still feel herself burning for some weird reason.
************************************************************
Maan quickly puts the fire out with his hands as he felt like he heard her cries. Even though he also got burned a little . . . he rather take the pain for geet. He looks at the picture again and it was only burnt a little in the side, her face could still be seen. He throws the picture aside in frustration. Neither could he stop thinking about her nor could he burn her image away.
He grabs his towel and wipes off the sweat on him and heads out to take a shower and hopefully will be able to move past everything that happened to him today now that all that bottled up emotion, pain, and anger was unleashed out of him. Only fate knew what was in store the next day. Who was going to surrender that still a question that lingers?
***************************************************************
He walked into his office as if nothing had happened the day before and everything . . . his life was back to normal. He was greeted by everyone and the ones who were lucky got a nod from him.
"Good Morning Mr. Khurana" a voice calls over from the side causing Maan to stop in his very own tracks.
As he glances the person from the bottom up he sees blue high heels, then exposed legs and as he goes higher a white mini dress, in which he sighs a bit of relief. He doesn't even bother to look up a little higher to see her face.
" Maan sir would you like me to bring you some black coffee inside your cabin?" Again Maan heard that same voice.
This time when he decides to glance at her he makes the mistake of directly looking at her. Now both were face to face! Geet looking dashing hot in her formal attire was smirking directly at the Maan Singh Khurana, who had found himself speechless yet again.
He thought he had moved past his allusions and hallucinations last night and even punished himself for it . . . but it looked like it didn't have any affect at all.
Geet goes a little closer and whispers in his ear, " I will take that as a yes. Now if you keep on staring at me like that than the employees are going to start talking and we both know you are the first person on the list to not want my name even paired with yours. Isn't that right Maan SIR" she adds with a little oomph to the last word as she squeezes his hand and leaves.
After a couple of seconds Maan looks around and sees his employees were working and not even paying any attention, which left one question. Was she real?
He goes inside his cabin complete thrown off track about what just happened. He looks at his hand where she had squeezed, it felt so real. BUT than again so did yesterday's scene in the rain and that was just his mind playing tricks. If he asked someone they would just plain think he was crazy. Was he turning crazy? "Oh gosh what is happening to me? Mujhe pata tah ki yeh larki ek din mujhe pagal kardegi! Maan thought to himself.
***********************************************************
She just couldn't wipe the smile off her face. She enjoyed the effect she had on Maan. She gets disturbed from her thoughts as she bumps into someone. Geet looks up and finds it was none other than Sasha.
Sasha: Tum?
Geet still felt bad for what happened between Sasha and Maan, but her words were only partially true. She was in love with Maan, but not because of his money and that is where she misunderstood.
Geet: Hain mein. Listen Sasha . . .
Sasha: listen? Because of you I lost my maan. You took him away from me and turned him against me. Listening to you dur ki baat hai, you just watch your back . . .because you have messed with the wrong person.
She said as she pointed her index finger at her.
Geet: Bas! You with your own words and selfishness turned him against yourself. He was only your friend and its unfortunate that you lost that too. Point the finger at yourself not me!
Sasha was burning with anger now. She was pointing her index finger at her as if to say don't even go there, but she totally forgot that she had a letters in her hand, which were not hers.
Geet's eyes caught onto the letter, which was addressed to her and Maan.
She snatches from Sasha's hand and says, "oh thank you for delivering my letter to me" and gives her a smirk and turns away leaving.
Geet first goes inside her cabin and opens up the letter, which had two invitations in it for both Maan and Geet, inviting them to Mr. Chopra's business party. Mr. Chopra was very impressed with how their two minds put together makes a great team and therefore invited both of them to celebrate their upcoming project.
With that said Geet decides to change her plan a tiny bit.
Geet: Mr. Maan Singh Khurana I will see you tonight.
*********************************************************************
Geet had called in Vicky too take Maan his coffee and his invitation letter as he was heading toward his cabin right now.
Vicky knocks on the door.
Maan: Come in.
Vicky: Bhai I thought you would want some coffee so I brought you some and this invitation letter for you.
He goes and hands it over to him. Maan thought to himself if Geet was real than she would of handed over the coffee, I was imagining again. It will take some time, but eventually I will forget her.
Vicky: bro i also wanted to apologize to you about yesterday. I said too much. I didn't mean to hurt you.
Maan: Let's just forget about it and not speak of it again.
Vicky: Theek hai bro. So bro are you going to go to the business party?
Maan: I don't know. He thinks that Geet is still working with Khurana Constructions and with me on this project. He may not want to work with me anymore as Geet is . . . gone.
Vicky: Come on bro! So what that your secretary left you . . .
Maan gives him a glare. " I mean left Khurana Constructions. She was only an employee that doesn't mean he will stop working with the MD of Khurana Constructions.
People dream of getting an opportunity to work with you, I don't think Mr.Chopra is that crazy to lose such an opportunity. Trust me and go! You will not regret it. You never no what surprise may be in store.
Maan: Theek hai I will go.
Vicky thinks to himself: Geet your target is on his way.
********************************************************************
Later that night . . .
With the way he walked inside the party hall a lot of the women's heart felt like they stopped beating. Single and married women checked him out from top to bottom.
His black Armani suit defined his muscular body in such a way that women couldn't stop drooling. All of them were lost dreaming being beside Maan's sensuous arms and walking into this party. He walks up to Mr. Chopra and greets him.
Mr.Chopra: Mr.Khurana I would like to introduce you to my daughter Pari.
Maan says, " Hi", and shakes her hand barely giving her a glance.
Pari: Papa there is no need of an introduction when we have already met.
Mr. Chopra smiles hearing that, "Even better than".
Maan kept on looking at her, but he couldn't recognize her at all.
Maan attention breaks from Pari when the lights dim and he starts to get this known feeling that she was here. He felt her somehow. . . and his heart started to flutter a little.
He unknowingly mutters, "Geet".

Even though this was the truth it still hurt Maan hearing the ice and cold way Geet said it.
