Geet went to the gym to brush off the weird feelings she was getting inside her heart...she couldn't become weak...she had to prove to herself and others that she is strong...in the past she just stood there like a little scared girl unable to stand up but now she wasn't that person anymore...her parents image came in front of her eyes...how she wished to change times and go back in time just to see them but she couldn't..she was stuck here alone without them, without their love all because of one rich person...he took everything that meant everything to her, snatched her happiness, her family..everything...
Geet smiled as she ran toward her house holding a picture in her hand while her sister chased after her...Geet was 15 year old while her sister Rachi was 20 years old..Rachi always acted like her mother rather then her big sister..she was very protective of Geet ever since she was little including her parents as well...Geet was like their angle that spread laughter and happiness to everyone around her. Now, she was running away from her sister when she caught her looking at someone's photo...she sneaked up from her behind and snatched the photo before running away to show her parents. Rachi finally managed to get hold of her before she could enter the house...she snatches the photo..Rachi goes to her knees and looks at her with anger
Rachi: What were you going to do? Huh?
Geet (sticks her tongue out..) to show mom and dad the picture
Rachi (sighs and smiles) Geet if you don't tell mumma papa anything then I will buy you whatever you want
Geet (becomes happy) You promise?
Rachi (smiles) Yes I promise..now this will be our little secret okay?
Geet: Okay...
Rachi: okay now lets go inside and eat...(she holds Geet's hand to bring her inside the house..Geet looks at her with a smile..as soon as she was inside..she scares her father who was busy reading the newspaper...he gets up chasing after her while she laughs and runs from him...)
Geet comes out of her thoughts when she broke something with her hand...it was bleeding...she wipes her tears and loosely bandages her hand...
"You know that could get infected if you don't bandage it properly" (Geet looks at Maan who was standing on the doorway)
Geet: You know its a bad habit to come into a room without knocking
Maan: ohh sorry I forgot...(he knocks on the door) "may I come in?" (he smirks at Geet...she scoffs and turns around)
Geet; Smart ass (she picks up a weight lifter in her hand...Maan comes from behind and holds her hand...she looks at him shocked...) What are you doing? (she tried to get out of his grip but he holds her hand firmly)
Maan: Let me bandage your hand..its bleeding
Geet (comes out of his hand grip) Don't worry about it...what does it matter to you?
Maan (comes closer to her): It does matter to me that you are hurting yourself..
Geet: I am a big girl and I can handle myself..I don't need you or anyone's help...
Maan (sighs) okay point taken...do you mind if I exercise as well here?
Geet: Be my guest
Maan kept close to Geet as he worked out..she was on treadmill now, he didn't know why it pained to see her in pain..his concentration was on her hand which was bleeding...she didn't care..but why did he care? What is she to him? Why did it hurt him to see tears in her eyes? It broke his heart into million pieces why?
He saw her looking at her hand but ignored the pain and kept running. She was being stubborn and that was pissing him off...after 10 minutes..he stops her treadmill..she looks at him with anger...Maan takes her hand in his and makes her sit on one of the benches...
Maan: Where is the first aid kit?
Geet: Listen you don't need to worry about me..I can take care of myself
Maan; yeah I can see you are taking care of yourself quiet well...now where is the first aid kit? (Geet stands up to leave but Maan holds her hand..) I can be stubborn too...either tell me and I will let you go or we are going to be sitting here for a long time until you do decide to talk...
Geet (sighs and sits down) its in that cupboard...(Maan smiles and brings the first aid kit) I can do the rest myself...
Maan; Nope...I am doing it..
He gently holds her hand and opens up the cloth covering her wound..he takes alcohol cleaner..Geet twitches and closes her eyes in pain..Maan gently blows on her wound soothing her pain..she opens her eyes and looks at him..."After a long time someone bothered to clear her wounds...someone cared..." She turns her head away..Maan cleans her wounds while looking at Geet...she was making him more and more mad with her mystery past...he wanted her to share it...why? After he was done..he gets up...
Maan; you can open your eyes now..am done
Geet (slowly opens her eyes and stands up straightening herself) hmm thanks...
Maan looks up..he needed to make his second plan in affect..she was beginning to trust him a little...but that was not good enough...he needed to make her see that he was fit enough to be in their gang...he saw Geet going in the corner to grab her stuff...Maan was standing right beneath his plan..he pretended to clean up the mess very slowly...
Geet stood at the corner looking at her hand that he bandaged..she could still feel his touch..she looks at Maan who was busy cleaning the mess...he looks at her but she quickly turns around patting herself...Maan smiles...Geet turns around to leave when she heard a sound...she looks up and saw a chandiler falling down to where Maan was standing...
Geet: "Armaan...look out..." (She runs toward him to move him out of the way but stopped mid-way when she saw him doing a backward flip to get out of the way..she stood there shocked...Maan looks at her shocked as he sat on the floor..she comes by his side...) "Where did you learn how to do that?"
Maan: I don't know...I just did it...I didn't know I could do that...maybe I knew this before I lost my memory...
Geet: hmm..maybe...(Maan gets up and looks at Geet as she inspects the chandiler..Maan goes near her)
Maan: be careful don't get too close
Geet: Don't worry I got this...How did this break?
Maan; don't know maybe its old
Geet: Hmm I am going to have someone take a look at his...
Maan: For now lets leave this here before one of us get hurt..
Geet walks out with Maan right behind her smirking as his one of his plan worked...now he needed to implement the rest of his plans to be inside the gang for this robbery..he had thought about calling the commissioner to let them know but he couldn't risk getting getting caught...for now he was on his own...Maan looked at Pari and Meera worried faces as they saw Geet's bandaged hand...
He saw how much love they have for one another and how much they care of each other...there was tinge of guilt for doing this to them for the first time..was he getting to personal? He shakes his head and focuses back on his mission..to catch the Bandit Queen...
Pari: How could this happen? That light never fell before..
Meera: I know...it is really odd...the whole day is bad today
Maan: Maybe the light had problems and couldn't on to the chandelier anymore...there are a lot of possibilities
Meera: Thanks Armaan for your help but we can look after her now...
Maan: okay sorry (he leaves from the area)
Geet: Meera what was the need to be rude..he helped me
Meera: What..am just stating the obvious anyway how did you manage to save him when the chandelier was about to fall on him
Geet; I didn't...he did a backward flip
Both (Meera and Pari): What? you serious?
Geet: yeah and when I asked him how he said he doesn't know...
Pari (smiles) wow that is so hot...which I could have seen him in action..could you imagine him doing that..its so dreamy...(Geet looks at her with anger..why was she jealous that Pari likes Maan..when she thinks of him why does her heart burn?)
Geet (gets up with anger) enough Pari..he did nothing special...anyone can do backward flip
Pari; Not everyone...it takes talent and who knows what else he can do...he might be handy for us
Meera: what do you mean?
Pari: well we so need a guy on our team and well since Geet had already decided that she is going to rob alone why not have him go with her?
Meera: Pari are you okay? How can you even suggest that? Don't you think he will ask questions as to what we are doing? What if he calls the police on us? We cannot give our identity away to him..it could be dangerous
Pari: That is IF he gets his memory back..what is the harm? I think he will be a good edition
Meera: What is the harm? Do you not think before talking? What will we answer him if he asks questions?
Pari: We tell him the truth..and we need someone we can trust...so far he has done nothing but help us, he saved Geet and all
Geet: Enough guys...Pari Meera is right..it will be way too dangerous and as for me..I can go by myself..I don't need any extra help...let just stick to our original plan
Pari: But...(she stops when she saw Maan standing in the back with shocked face..all turn around to look at him...)
Meera; What are you doing here?
Maan: I heard everything...you guys are robbers?
Meera (laughs) We were joking...we really are not robbers..I mean come on three girls how can they be robbers..right guys? (she looks at both to give support)
Geet: Meera its fine since he knows the truth..yeah we are robbers and that is our identity...you can go and complain to the police and by the time they come we will be long gone...(Meera and Pari looks at her shocked..they couldn't believe she agreed so easily)
Maan (smiles) why would I complain...I want in...(Geet looks at him shocked)
Pari: You what?
Maan: I gather that you guys are not small time crooks...whatever robbery you guys are doing or going to do I want in..I want my share as well...
Meera; Listen you
Geet; okay...but you cannot tell anyone about what we do
Maan: Who am I going to tell? I don't remember my past or anything...I could start a new life here with you..(she looks at him) I mean with you guys...(Pari smiles...Meera stands there with worry) I hope that is okay with you guys?
Meera: We will tell you tomorrow morning...
Maan: okay no problem...(he looks at Geet one more time before leaving...)
