Maan came downstairs he looked at Pammi and Dev with anger. Both looks at him with a smile. Maan stood before them with his arms crossed...both look at one another with worry and nervousness.
Maan: So you think I wouldn't care? (Dev gulps his food down while Pammi tried to make sense of what he is saying...)
Pammi (looks at him with a smile) What are you talking about?
Maan (smiles and stands behind Dev..he puts his hands on his shoulder near his neck and lightly squeezing it...) about Dev Pammi Maasi
Pammi (looks at Dev with anger and Dev shakes his head no stating he didn't do anything): What did he do?
Maan: Work...just because he is living here that doesn't mean he is excused from work. I expect everyone to arrive on time. (Pammi and Dev sigh in relief)
Pammi: Of course..work is important...Dev will be on time from now on.
Maan (looks at Geet and smiles before leaving...) I will be back during lunch time. (he begins to leave but Pammi stops him)
Pammi: Maan bete take Dev with you. You guys are going to the same place
Maan (turns around and smirks) I don't take my employees with me (he says while looking at Dev) he has to find some other transportation to get to work. I expect him to be there within half hour...and ON TIME.
He leaves without looking back at them again. Pammi throws the spoon on the floor in anger. Geet smirks and gets up to leave.
Pammi: Geet beta can you tell one of the driver to drop Dev off? (Geet nodes her head and calls the security guards outside)
Geet: Hello...can you tell one of the driver to come to the front. Dev needs to go to the office.
SG: Sorry ma'am but Maan sir has adviced all of us not to help Dev or his mom.
Geet: What?! hmm okay... (she hangs up the phone)
Pammi: What happened?
Geet: only one driver is available today and he went with Maan...(Geet lied..to her)
Dev: how will I go?
Geet: I don't know...you have about 20 minutes to get there..you know Maan is very punctual. (Dev looks at Pammi with worry..she pats his shoulder to calm him down)
Pammi: its okay..why don't you take taxi...you will reach there on time.
Dev: what about the money? I don't have any.
Pammi: money...ummm...(she looks at Geet..)
Geet: I don't have any...Maan usually gets me whatever I want..so there is no need for me to keep money...(she calls Nakul)
Nakul: Yes ma'mam
Geet: Nakul can you give some taxi fair to Dev to go to work? (Pammi and Dev looks at her shocked) I will ask Maan sir to give you double the money when he returns.
Nakul (looks at them with a smile) Sure Ma'am..I would be more then happy to help. (he takes out some cash and gives it to Pammi...Pammi looks at Geet and Nakul with anger feeling so much of humiliation.) This should be enough for today.
Geet (smiles) thank you Nakul...you can go. (She looks at them and leaves)
"I will get revenge for this.."
"I never felt this humiliated in my life before.."
"I won't let you both rest in piece...I will ruin you both like I did in the past..."
"I will make you guys beg for money like you did for Dev..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet is in her room thinking about Maan and their moments. She blushes as she remembers their last moment spent together...she looks at the phone wanting to call Maan but her hand stopped her. She was feeling shy even after all they both went through still she cannot get over her shyness. This room and house feels so empty now to her without Maan.
She felt so alone without him. She could look at him all day and night...she knew no matter what he will always be there to protect her...make sure she is safe and happy. Even though he still need to work on his anger but she was happy at the same time to have him in her life. She just only wished he would let go of his anger..for her, for them...it was the only thing that was keeping them from actually having a future.
She picks up her cell phone when she heard it ringing..and immediately smiled. She sits on the bed and picks up the phone.
Geet: Hi Pari..how are you?
Pari: Geet am good. Was missing you. How are you? How is he treating you? Do you need any help?
Geet: Pari am good. I was missing you too. Pari don't worry am okay. How are you and Yash doing?
Pari: We are good. Listen lets meet up today. I really wanna see you badly and I can't rest until I see that you are fine. I want to talk to you and also spend girls day out together. Please
Geet: umm Pari I don't know...umm...its hard
Pari: why? Geet is he keeping you hostage or something? I knew it...me and Yash will go and file a complaint against him for harassing you.
Geet (scared) NO! its nothing like that Pari..calm down...(she looks at the clock..it was 9 am...and Maan won't be home until 1 for lunch...) okay Pari I will meet you at the mall in half hour..
Pari: Yay! okay bye..see you then.
Geet hangs up the phone...she was thinking whether she should go or not. Well, now she had no other choice. If she doesn't show up then she knows that Pari will call the police no matter what and she doesn't want any trouble for anyone of them especially knowing Maan's anger.
He won't spare her or anyone who will do that to him. She looks at the phone..."Should I call Maan or not? Will he say yes to me?" She picks up the phone and dials his number. She hoped that he wouldn't pick up so that she can leave a voice mail. The phone was switched off. She hangs up the phone...
"Maybe I will call him back later when its on..."
She puts the phone down and gets ready. She goes downstairs.
Pammi: Geet where are you going?
Geet: Am going out to meet my friend.
Pammi: Does Maan know?
Geet: I will call him later to let him know...(She leaves the house...Pammi smirks. As soon as Geet leaves..she picks up the phone...)
Pammi: Hello...can you leave a message for Mr. Khruana that his wife is missing and don't know where she went. Thanks. (Pammi hangs up the phone smirking..."lets see what happens now...")
