Geet sat in the car as Maan drove. Both of them didn't speak to each other ever since the club incident. She didn't know what was going on in his head but it was necessary. He wouldn't understand even if she tried to make him understand. He would never. I don't know if I even should try? He stopped the car in front of the house. Geet quietly got down and made her way inside before she could get inside the house. She found herself being pulled into his arms.
Maan: Do you want to talk now to me? (She kept looking down not meeting his eyes at all. He pulls her chin up making her look at him) Geet...
Geet: No...I just want to sleep (she tried to get out of his grip but he held her tighter)
Maan: I am trying to talk to you. Your friend is lucky that I didn't do anything
Geet: What were you going to do? Kill him? Punch him? Why because he is my friend?
Maan: Because he is close to you that's why. I won't allow anyone come that close to you. No One!!!
Geet: Kyun? Did I say anything when that..that girl was next to you? No right. (She gets out of his grip but Maan pulls her back again)
Maan (looks at her face very closely...and smirks..he brushes his thumb against her cheek slowly. She closes her eyes) Are you jealous Geet that the girl was close to me? (he whispers in her ear..she opens her eyes and looks at him with anger. She tires to get out of his grip but couldn't...he leans against the car door holding her in front of him)
Geet: Let go. Why would I be jealous? I could never be jealous of a shetan like you. Never!
Maan: You know what I could've done at that club in jealousy?
Geet: What?
Maan: Do you want me to show you? (he pulls her closer his eyes showing anger and jealousy. He puts her in the car and started driving...while Geet looked at him in shock...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the morning, Geet was very excited to receive a call from Pari. She knew by the phone call Yash must've told Pari everything. She had to meet her once and let her know what happened. She was the only source to her parents. Geet wanted to see them but something always held her back. Their faces of disappointment and hurt..no she couldn't live with her life if she had seen that on her parents faces.
Geet had no choice but to meet Pari and that too in a place where Maan won't come or find her. Her only fear was that what if he calls home to talk to her? Then what? But regardless of anything she decided to take a chance. She was used to his anger by now but she knew that in anger he would never cross the limit. Even though he was a Shetan somewhere down in his heart he has feelings and emotions. She just had to find a way to bring out those emotions...how?
She sat there in the club in front of Yash and Pari. Club wasn't her idea for talk but it was the only place where Maan won't show up. So she thought. Pari looked at Geet with tears while she kept her head down unable to look at her. It has been two hours since there meeting and it felt like there is still so much more to say. It was so hard for Geet to even start the topic.
Her life is not as simple as it used to be. She felt like trapped in the middle of a jungle with no way out. Who can show her the way out? In a way she chose to be in the jungle in this mess when he had set her free but how free was she? How can she live her life normally as if nothing happened when in reality EVERYTHING happened? Pari held her hand. Geet looks at her with tears.
Pari: Geet I don't know what to say. I never thought that so much could happen to you.
Geet: I know Pari but it seems like this is my new destiny and my faith
Yash: There has to be a way out...there has to be something we can do so you can be away from that Shetan.
Pari: Yeah Geet he is right. We have to find a way. You cannot stay with him after what he has done. He has to pay
Geet: No guys. I can't leave
Pari (looks at Yash. He gets up from the table to get some drinks) Geet what do you mean?
Geet: Woh I just can't leave Pari. I can't run away from him. He is everywhere.
Pari: Geet look at me..(she looks into her eyes) Have you started to like him?
Geet: What are you saying Pari?
Pari: I know when you are lying Geet. We may not be blood sisters but we are sisters. I know you inside and out. You can't leave because you don't want to isn't it?
Geet: Pari I (suddenly she stops. She felt as if Maan is here. She could sense it. She looks around the room but couldn't find him. Maybe it is all in her head...)
Yash: Here you are ladies. Drinks. (Geet smiles at him...) So Geet what do you want to do?
Geet: I don't know. Pari can I ask you for a favor?
Pari: Sure Geet..
Geet: Could you not tell my parents about this. Just tell them you and I are going on some trip straight.
Pari: How can I Geet lie to them?
Geet (holds her hand) Please Pari..until I figure something out..please
Pari (sighs) Okay...(they spent some moments talking and catching up. Geet was slowly becoming herself again...she had missed Pari a lot...and knew she could always trust her with everything..) Guys its getting late. Lets leave
All got up to leave. Geet started walking ahead looking in her bag, searching for a cell phone to see if Maan called her. As she was searching she bumped into someone. She looks up and saw Maan. Both were equally shocked...Geet eyes went to the women next to Maan. She felt some kind of pain in her heart seeing him here with some women. Pari and Yash stand next to Geet...Rasika looks at Maan and holds his arm.
Rasika: Maan lets go.
Maan (looks at her with anger and then at her hand...he removes her hand with anger) leave now! (She quickly leaves...he turns his face toward Geet and then at the same guy from the hotel...Yash holds her hand to support her while Pari does the same. Maan looks at the end wanting to punch him. He was about to step ahead when he remembered Geet's scared face from the hotel. Her crying fearing him and his anger. He closed his fist in anger..trying to control himself...) Geet lets go!
Pari: Excuse me but she is not going anywhere with you! (Geet looks at her...)
Maan (turns around with amusement) And who is going to stop me taking my wife with me. You?
Pari: yes me. She is my friend and I won't allow her to go with a person like you.
Maan (holds Geet's hand and pulls her toward him..) Well as her friend consider I am sparing you
Pari: Or else what you have done? (Yash stands next to Pari to hold her)
Maan: You would've found out DON'T mess with me!!! (He begins walking away with Geet while still holding her hand..)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet looked at Maan in shock as he broke everything in the club with his bare hands. He didn't care if he was bleeding. He was angry. Jealous. Frustrated with everything. He hated that she didn't talk to him. He hated that she was mad at him. He hated himself. He stands in front of her holding her shoulder.
"I could break, bend anything for you! Anything.
I will even kill myself for you.
Kill those that hurt you, that pained you.
I will take a bullet for you."
Do you why Geet? Because I love you.
I loved you since I first saw you.
I love your smile,
your talks,
your eyes, your look...everything.
No one can close to me like you have. No one"
She looks at him with tears as he confessed his love for her. She felt somewhat different. The Shetan, her Shetan, was breaking down slowly.
