Yes it is very important for Geet to talk and understand her parents.

Geet can't say yes to Maan yet because she is too caught up with her issues.

Chapter 39: A date with the past

We attempt to tread calmly,

The echoes of past linger,

The path taken reflects,

The ones not taken.

The roads are the same,

The lights flash in brilliance,

Yet the present can only

Be a weak reflection of past.

--------------------------------

PRESENT:

What if we could turn back the clock?

It was a seductive thought, to think that everything could go back to the way it was. To go back in a world where her faith was still intact and her dreams were still glittering with optimism.

With Maan so close, it would be entirely too possible to imagine that, to think all her pain was a figment of her imagination. It would be bliss to slip into such oblivion and to drown in a world of denial.

Yet she could feel the familiar pangs of pain and resentment settle in, for what had happened couldn't be undone. Certain things could be reversed but time and death would settle for no compromise.

"You go back to the hotel, Mel and I shall stay over at Nonna's" Geet's voice left no room for any disagreement.

"Fine" Maan just smirked at her, acquiescing to her wishes. It surprised her for he had told that they were to go for a date.

What is he cooking up in that mind of his? Geet thought as she watched him calmly leave the house. He isn't the type to give up that easily.

It was with these thoughts that she settled into bed, at Nonna's house in Seb's room, with Meliara squirming next to her.

"Mom, I like Nonna." She innocently wrapped her arms around Geet, her baby scent warming Geet's soul. "But why can't we be with Knight? I want him!"

It was inexplicable the way Meliara seemed so attached to Maan, almost natural and without reason.

It seems we Handa women have a weakness for Maan Singh Khurana, she thought with amusement and sadness.

"Darling, Maan has his room in the hotel and we are staying with Nonna because that is the proper thing. Remember, he is not family." Maybe not family but my soul, her inner thoughts betrayed her feelings.

"But mama, you always said that family are those we love." Mel protest, "and I love knight. Don't you love him?"

Geet felt her heart clutch at Mel's words for she had no idea how to answer the child. How can I make her understand that love is not always easy?

"Mel, Why do you like Maan so much?" Geet ignored Mel's question to ask one of her own. She truly wanted to understand why Mel was so comfortable with Maan.

"Because he is my Knight" Mel answered simply, expressing in her own childish way the way she felt protected and cared by Maan. But at the same time her childish curiosity made her ask again, "Mama don't you like Knight?"

"Of course" She gently patted Mel's head, "Honey it is time to sleep" Geet took the coward's way by answering nonchalantly because she couldn't lie to Mel but neither could she let her daughter build hopes.

But Meliara was Meliara, "Will we see him tomorrow?"

"Yes, we will." Geet said with a sigh.

The next hour or so Geet sat next a sleeping Meliara, worrying about how attached the little girl had gotten to Maan.

She felt apprehensive about it for there was no certainty about how long she would be with Maan. In a perfect world she could have easily stayed with him but it wasn't so. She couldn't bear to remember the past, for her eyes would fill with visions of blood of her loved ones, blinding out the love.

Strength against all the obstacles forced onto her path had been her only way of moving on with life, numbing herself to expecting anything more. All her passion and care was poured into being the mother Meliara deserved, all her determination was put into her work and her frustration morphed into anger at her parents.

Without these, who was she? How was she to survive? She could already feel the changes happening within and around her. It threatened to break the control she had judiciously built, crumbling her till she broke into a thousand pieces.

And right then she heard something slam against the window.

"What the-" she exclaimed and jumped off the bed to see what was happening. Is it a burglar?

As she cautiously approached the window, with her body ready to attack any potential intruder, the curtains were flung open revealing a tall man.

-------------------------

Virdender tried to maintain his arrogant look as he sat in front of the Special Victims Unit members, plus Detective Angie.

"Mr Khurana you've been charged with the serious crime of raping a minor" All the officers looked at the man with disgust.

They had read from his diary how much he had enjoyed the incident and it had angered each and every one of them.

Virender looked stoically at the man, wanting to hit him but managed to stay calm.

"You are a miserable piece of junk" Someone else said, with venom in her voice. "And it's time to put you in your place."

"Why don't you tell us what was happening in your twisted mind when you raped the poor girl" the office spoke right to his face.

"I am not going to talk without my lawyer" Virender knew that he was in a tight spot and didn't want to take a risk.

"Go ahead, it is your right." Angie said with amusement, "Doesn't mean we won't continue questioning you."

So on and on they went while another officer went to get him a phone.

Feeling relieved that he had a small reprieve he quickly called his lawyer, one who was top of his game.

"Rohit I need you to help me!" Virender ordered. "Come immediately"

"Ummm'..sorry sir I can't" The man gulped nervously. "I'I've some'personal issues"

"WHAT!" Virender screamed out. "What the hell do you mean? You are my lawyer!"

"Sorry, you've to hire someone else" With that the poor man put down the phone, leaving Virender even more enraged.

---------------------

Vicky laughed as he listened to his father scream at the lawyer. The call had been on the speaker, allowing him the joy of listening to his father's reaction.

"I did what you asked, please don't hurt me" The lawyer had entreated. Vicky hadn't really even threatened the man but even the sight of him along with a call from MSK had been enough to spread fear.

"Of course not" Vicky reassured, "Just make sure that you don't defend him. Otherwise the consequences will be'messy. "

Is it fair to take away Virender's lawyer? Probably not and indeed he will find someone soon, but I want him to feel the sense of impending doom, Vicky viciously thought.

With that Vicky left the poor man to himself.

---------------------------

"Maan what are you doing here!" Geet shrieked in a high pitched voice.

Maan just grinned shamelessly at her. It had taken a few tries before he could climb through the window but when it came to being with Geet nothing was too difficult.

"Why aren't you pleased to see me?" He pretended to look upset but the twinkling eyes gave him away.

"Look you can't just-" Geet retorted but had to stop as she saw Meliara starting to move. Quickly she went back to the bed to pat Mel to sleep.

Maan followed her and sat on the other side of Mel. Smiling down at the little girl, he also patted her back. If he had looked up at Geet he would have seen the emotions swimming in her eyes at that sight.

Geet's throat tightened with emotion as she saw the man she loved pat her daughter to sleep. It was an image that brought back dreams she had buried to keep sane. She had imagined so many times that they would have a family and here he was sitting on the bed with her child between them. The sheer intimacy of the moment touched her, yet it was frightening as well.

How I am meant to deal with this? It's too much, her mind was incapable of staying stoic while caught in this tender moment. Taking a deep breath she tried to calm herself.

They sat like this for a few minutes before Geet found her voice. "Why are you here?"

"Well I did tell you that we are going out for a date."

"Date!" Geet's was even more surprised "It is midnight now, way too late"

"Well someone once showed me how magical this city is in the night." He gave a smirk, making sure she understood what he was talking about. "Belle and Iman have already explored the city, so let us have our fun as well."

"You are insane!" Geet argued, even while her heart lightened at memories. "I can't leave Mel like this and it is time for me to sleep!"

"Mel is sleeping and Nonna is in the next room" Maan replied calmly, "But if you want we can sleep...or do other things in bed if you want." He winked at her and put his legs on the bed.

Geet's mouth fell open at his audacity. "What! How can you say such things while there is a child in the room?"

"So you mean if she wasn't in the room you would be fine with me saying and doing...stuff...to you?" His wicked grin clearly told her what "stuff" he was talking about and the look he gave her left no room for doubt.

Geet shook her head, torn between amusement and frustration. "Just go back to your hotel"

"I am not leaving this room without you, so put that thought away." He smoothly replied while settling down comfortably. "Mel likes me too much to kick me out, unlike some people"

"You are irritating." She stated blandly. "Get out."

"Well there is another way, just say you'll marry me" He looked at her intently.

"What!" Again Geet was caught off guard. "What are you saying?" She was confused that he was asking to marry her while they were in bed, her in her threadbare PJs. Is he for real?

"I'll take that as a no, making it strike two" Maan didn't look at all put off, instead continued on jovially, "Well that leaves you with the other two choices, I stay or we go out"

Geet rolled her eyes at his dramatic comment and pushed aside the concerns about his abnormal behaviour. "Fine, let me change"

"Darling you can take off your clothes, opps I meant change your clothes anytime you want" He raised an eyebrow at her while the edges of lips curled into a sinful smirk. "I'll just sit back and watch the show."

"You lecherous perv!" Geet threw her pillow at his face even while he was laughing his head off but her own lips broke into a smile.

------------------------

Geet watched with pleasure as the streets rolled passed them. The street lights created a soft glow, illuminating the place against the blanket of the night. It was a cloudless night, so the stars shone brightly with a crescent moon amongst them.

Nostalgia hit Geet hard as she saw all the familiar landmarks. It didn't matter how far she had gone or how long she had been away, this place would forever be her home town.

"Where are we going?" She asked Maan. He was sitting next to her in the driving seat. It had been surprise to her that he was driving a Porche but then again this wasn't Iman, it was Maan Singh Khurana.

"Don't be impatient" He gave a cheeky grin at her. It was still difficult for him to believe that they were actually here together and that the happiness he had thought gone was coming back. It didn't matter that she was still not willing to move forward because there was no way that he was letting her go. They had gone through too much to turn back at this junction of their life.

"I hope Mel is alright" Geet bit her lip in worry, not realising that she sounded like a wife talking to her husband about their child. "She usually doesn't wake up in the middle of the night but it is a new place."

"Mel won't be frightened." Maan said reassuringly. "She is a brave child and if she does wake up, Nonna will be there"

Geet looked at him curiously, "You act like you know Mel so well"

Maan smiled softly, "She is a special child and she reminds me of someone."

Geet's heart tightened at the affection in his voice but it was concern for Mel that made her speak up. "Look, I've failed in many things in life but the one thing that I can't risk failing at is being a mother to Meliara. I'I know you mean well and are truly fond of her but please don't get too attached and let her get too attached to her."

Maan had known that this topic would come up, yet it hurt him a little to hear her say the words. He knew her reasoning, still he asked her, "Why?"

Geet looked away, not wanting to look at the disappointment or the knowing look on his face. "I don't want her to get hurt. The more attached she is the greater difficulty when'.when you go away."

She closed her eyes at the idea of him going away, for even contemplating a separation was painful. Yet it was something she had to make him understand. She could bear any pain but not Mel's pain. Not Maan's pain either, her conscience told her.

Maan clenched his teeth together to stop the words that wanted to come out, instead satisfied himself with saying, "If that's what you are worried about then you have nothing to worry about"

Geet understood that he meant his words of not leaving and as much happiness the words brought they also caused a worry within her. It was already impossible for her to resist him, so how much longer could she bear this?

She didn't know what to say, so kept silent. It was only as she looked around that she realised where Maan was taking her.

And within minutes they were there.

It was a heavy feeling; both happiness and pain. She slowly got out of the car, letting her eyes soak in the view.

She started to walk and felt Maan's hands intertwine with hers. Together they walked forward, letting their toes sink into the sand.

It was the same beach where they had their first in depth conversation, the first time they allowed the connection between them to develop.

In the same manner as they had before, they walked silently without needing words to explain how they were feeling. In the dark night, with the waves in front of them no one else existed.

It was only Maan and Geet.

Geet lowered herself onto the swing, letting her toes graze the sand and her hair blow with the breeze. The salt in the air tickled her tongue, causing her to smile.

"Magical" Maan whispered looking at her. "It's been so long, yet it seems as if I can remember every detail of that night"

Geet nodded in agreement, smiling at the view. "Some things can never be forgotten."

"Well enough melancholy, let us have some fun" He pulled her off the swing and made her walk further onto the beach, near the water. "Time for sandcastles"

Geet's face broke into a wider smile, "Sandcastles? Sure."

Both bent down and started their creations but for some reason Geet couldn't resist doing some mischief. So scoping up some sand she quickly shoved it down Maan's T-shirt.

"GEET!" He screamed while trying to get the sand out. "You'll pay for this!"

Within minutes they were running around like little kids, trying to bury each other in sand. Geet didn't know what got into her but at that moment she just wanted to enjoy.

After 20 minutes both of them were breathless and panting but couldn't keep the grin out of their faces.

"Evil woman!" Maan pulled her hair. He had brought her here for this reason, to bring out the Belle that he knew was still within her. He wanted the girl of smiled, enjoyed and created chaos back. She had never conformed to a specific image, never limited herself and that is what he wanted her to do again.

Geet stuck out her tongue at him. "You are a sore loser!"

"Sore loser or not, we have to go somewhere else now" He pulled her up again and they walked back hand in hand towards the car.

"Where to now?" She asked curiously when he was driving again.

"Patience" He smirked, knowing that she had always been impatient.

---------------------------

PAST:

They were leaving for London within the week. It had been a rushed affair, with having to arrange a place for all of them as well as graduating.

Yet Geet didn't regret it. She had been grateful when Dr Bing had given them the chance to do their internship in London. It would give them all the chance to move away from a place that was filled with sad memories. Even Seb was moving with them, unable to stay away from the group.

The death of Lily and Rahul was still fresh in their minds but with having to look after Meliara, they couldn't let themselves breakdown.

Geet knew that the others were waiting for her to breakdown but Geet had no more tears left. Every drop within her had died. Some grief is beyond tears.

Plus all her energy was involved with looking after Meliara, nothing else could matter.

Still it had been necessary to come her to bury old connections and to make sure that everything stayed in the past.

She handed the letter to Moe, knowing that she could trust him. "If he ever comes, give this to him Moe. Don't tell him where I am or who I am"

Surprisingly the letter hadn't been difficult to write, she couldn't feel any emotion that would make it hard to pen the words. Numbness had its benefits.

Dear Iman,

I don't know who you are or if you will ever read this.

I don't know if what we shared was love or insanity but if even for a single moment you felt anything resembling fondness or a connection then promise me that you'll never search for me.

If you have any honour you'll keep this promise.

-Belle

"I...I won't" Moe's eyes were watery as he stared at the girl he had considered his own. "Just promise me you'll look after yourself"

"I promise" She hugged him, letting herself lean on someone for the barest of second. "Thank you for taking care of me Moe. I'll never forget you"

----------------

PRESENT:

They stood in front of the building staring at it.

Maan could feel memories of all the times they had been here around him. This was where they had met and were they had discovered each other.

Turning to Geet he was about to say something but froze as he saw her expression. He had expected happiness or even pain but not the expression she had.

Her eyes were widened in shock, her skin pale and her breathing erratic. There was a look of utter panic and distress.

"Geet!" He held her in concern. "What happened?"

She turned to face him and then pushed him away. "Get away from me! I can't do this!"
