"Maan & I drove to the outskirts of the city...I somewhere knew it was either Dev or Rhea,they both can't be in,one of them was utterly 'forced', but how?By blackmail?..I couldnt understand as various possibilities popped my mind...& then a final Eureka! A remark made my Maan changed the entire scenerio & made me see clearly who was the mastermind!!"
"What did I say to you?" asked Maan curiously
A smile crept on from the edges of her lips as she replied,"Remember what you told me yestarday that I love you so much that I would help you even you do something criminal.Even if I hate to do the wrong stuff,I would still do it for you!Doesn't matter even if I start to detest you at the end of the day, still I will force myself into doing what you tell me because again I still love you,despite your evilness!..." paused Geet
Maan stared at her in disbelief as she gave him the credit to solve the mystery.He recollected his words which he had said in the rain, & he remembered she had hugged him very tightly,her nails were pricking his shoulders...She had indeed nailed the culprit...
"But it was just a chance remark,I did not mean it & anyways the idea seems far-fetched!"
"But it's absolutely relevant with Dev!" Geet looked at Rhea."Actually we were so sure of Dev being behind everything that we just couldn't imagine he being helpless instead of Rhea.But when you told me this yestarday,it obviously sounded a bit wierd & impossible..but still for once I spared a thought of Dev being innocent & Rhea the real culprit & I ran my thoughts exactly on your lines!.And guess what!Everything perfectly fell into place.Dev's abnomal behaviour at the party as if hypnotised,his shivering while he told me about the will...Basically Dev strained himself to even threaten you Maan & I guess you won't disagree with me!"
"That means Dev insanly loves Rhea,so he blindly did what she said but his conscious pricked him more day by day,he hated her.. but still couldn't go against her..& became a slave...Rhea was like a...drug to him????"
Geet nodded her head slowly.Maan looked in astonishment at Dev.He couldn't even visualise what hell Dev must of gone through...
"Absolutely Mr Maan." spoke Arjun,"Ms Geet narrated this to me today morning but we needed proof against Rhea but now it is not required as Rhea herself walked into our trap!"
"So Rhea must have surely told Dev to march into my room with an injection in hand!!" Maan said with a hysterical laugh
"No she did not get a chance to mention that to Dev,all thanks to you!!!"said Geet,smirking at Rhea.
"Yeah...When I got to know Gopal is Ins. Arjun,I planned to convince Dadima to change the will.I told Dev that you are not in my life anymore & indeed he looked horrified hearing that!!!Then Dev ultimately decided to revolt & he & Rhea must have had a fight.Rhea somewhere realized that Dev was not her puppet now, she considered it her defeat.To add to her wounds, Rhea must have later heard Dadima agreeing with me about the will.This must have angered & frustated her more to such an extent that she didn't know what to do & decided to do away with me,once & for all!" Maan shrugged his shoulders.
"Bingo!!!" added Geet smirking.
"Bas buhot ho gaya!!!!!" cried an infuriated Rhea hearing the mocking tones around her,"Enough Geet!And how did you know I was the 'man' who exported the drugs!!!"
Geet smiled at her surprised,"I think you have completely lost it Rhea!!Don't you know you were the one who showed me the CD of your stage play where you played both a man & a woman so effortlessly!It was insignificant to me at that time as I couldn't imagine such a sweet & innocent Rhea could actually export go & drugs!But after what Maan said yestarday,I joined all the dots & here we are!"
Geet gave a mocking smile at her. Rhea looked at her in disgust.She was highly over-smarted by Geet.
"In your entire plan there were only two flaws Rhea!" said Arjun,grinning,"First,you showed Ms Geet your play! & second!You told Dev to play chess & checkmate with Mr Maan & play carrom with Ms Geet!!"
Arjun then ordered the officers to take Rhea to the police lock-up.Rhea couldn't believe that she was being taken to jail & that to because of Geet!She looked at her balefully.
"Geet!!!!!!You played the biggest game of all!!!!!And no wonder even a man like MSK fell in your trap!!!!You are a big cheat!!!!!You witch!!!!!!"
Maan boiled in volcanic anger hearing that.He immediately took the gun from Arjun's hand & was just about to shoot at Rhea when Geet stopped him just at the nick of time!.
"Maan!!!What are you doing in!!Leave it!!!" Geet tried to take the gun from him but his grip was firm.
"Inspector!!Take Rhea out of my sight just now,warna goli chal jayegi!!!!!!" Maan roared.
"You look damn hot when you are angry Mr Maan Singh Khurana!"said Rhea seductively,"Just for you,I will thank Geet to not letting me kill you because then I wouldn't have been able to bear the sin of killing the most good-looking man who has ever walked on earth!A girl like Geet doesn't deserve you MSK..."
Rhea was taken out...It took a while for Geet & Annie to calm Maan down...
After a while,Arjun shook hands with Maan,"It's time I take your leave Mr Maan!Gopal was always your well-wisher!"
"Absolutely Yes!"
Arjun then looked at both Geet & Maan,"Thanks a lot for your co-operation Mr & Mrs Khurana..ahh...If I can call you that!!"
Geet heart skipped a beat hearing her being addressed Mrs Khurana.Geet immediately glanced at Maan
"Ofcourse Inspector! She is Mrs Geet Maan Singh Khurana!!" Maan said with an air of confidence induced with passion.
Geet looked at Maan.Her eyes were moist...
Seeing Arjun go,Annie did not feel good.Geet signalled her to escort Arjun outside.For a moment Annie felt happy!
~*~
Annie & Arjun were walking through the exit coridoors.They did not speak anything for a while.Annie was nervous.She still couldn't believe that Gopal was in reality Inspector Arjun!She liked him even more now!.Finally Arjun broke the silence.
"All this must have been very shocking for you Ms Anwesha!"
She looked at him.Her name sounded so good in his voice!.
"Not really!Whatever had to happen,has happened..I am happy & relieved that my brothers are safe!I hope they will sort out their personal differences soon!"
"Indeed!"
They finally reached the Khurana gates.The early morning fresh air graced them.The sun was just about to rise.It was a new beginning for the Khurana family as the darkness had left the Mansion as well as their lives...
"Well,Ms Anwesha.Thanks to you too for your help without which we couldn't ensure Mr Maan's safety.I thought it wouldn't be easy to convince you!" he smiled.
Annie stretched out her hand to him,"I am glad I helped you to nab Rhea &" she paused,"nice meeting you..."
Arjun was surprised.He shook hands with her
"All the best for yor future Ms Khurana!"
They both parted their hands & Anjun prepared to go.He was walking towards his jeep with his back towards Annie
"Please Arjun...for once turn & look at me...Please..." Annie spoke in her mind.But Arjun did not turn back.He sat in his jeep & drove away...Annie was sad...very sad.Dejected,she turned around & headed inside the Mansion.
But Arjun drove his jeep backward & saw Annie walking inside the Mansion.She did not see him..
"Teenagers of today!!!Don't know what to say!!" Arjun shook his head smiling.
~*~
Dev,Maan & Geet were still in tha hall.There was utter silence.Finally Geet spoke.
"It's time for reconciliations between you two!" Geet turned to Maan & said,"Dev was happy that you had finally got to start Khurana constructions after the shoe factory..He was not even interested in the will as according to Dev,running a company is not his cup of tea.. !"
She walked towards a closed window & opened it.Subsequently all the windows of the Mansion was opened.Sun rays made their ways inside lighting the floor on which Maan & Dev stood in front of each other...the evil was washed away from Dev's life...
Just then Geet's eyes fell on Yash who was standing on the first floor,his hands placed on the railings
"That means uncle has heard & saw everything that was spoken aftter Dadima left the hall!" thought Geet
Yash then headed towards the study room.Geet too went up the staricase leaving both the brothers alone to sort out things between them...
~*~
Yash was standing near the window when Geet entered the study room.His back was faced to her & he looked engrossed his thought.
"Uncle,Can I...come in?" asked Geet,hesitating.
"You can." said Yash mildly.
"Uncle...you knew it was Rhea, though you saw your own son burning the factory..."
Yash sighed,"I did not know it was Rhea but I knew Dev was soft since childhood..& it was very easy to make him do what others wanted..."
"Uncle,I just want to say I am not Rhea." Geet said firmly.
Yash turned around & looked at her,"No you are not!I was wrong!Maan & you are a pair made in heaven!The kind of love which you both have for each other has the power to even terrorize the evil."
Yash prepared to go.He stopped at the corridor & added,
"And yes Maan & your marriage will happen tomorrow itself!Preparations will start right now!"
"Dad..." Geet smiled.
Yash left the room.
Geet walking through the coridoor of the first floor.Yash expressed his love & concern towards his children by his stolidity,concluded Geet.
While coming down the staircase,Geet saw Maan & Dev embracing each other...
"Perfect!"
Geet smiled
~*~
Outhouse
(Office Room)
Maan was seeing the project when Geet came there.Their eyes met.Seeing him,Geet became nervous.A lot had happened the previous day,she didn't know what he would say?Would he be angry with her for hiding everything?
Her queries were put to rest when she saw Maan walking towards her.She immediately gazed the floor.Her heart missed a beat.
Maan stood behind her & whispered in her ears
"Dadima has changed the will,I am the sole owner of Khuarana Constructions even if I marry you or not!"
Hearing that Geet smirked,
" Aap mujhe chodkar nahi jaa sakte!!!I am a possessive lover Mr Maan Singh Khurana!I will not let you go!!!You are mine!!!!"
Maan turned her to face him & pulled her closer.
"Geet!Itna sab kuch ho gaya...you knew everything,I knew everything..still we didn't let this affect our relationship."
"Because we both knew no one can do us apart!Aur waise bhi,we love to travel on a boat which is surrounded by thunderstorms"
Their eyes locked.They hugged each other tightly.Maan knew that Geet loved him immensely.They were so possessive about each other that no one could come between them,not even the shadow of evil...
They broke the hug.Maan walked up to his desk & picked up the project CD.
"Ek baat batao,even you had made this project,where is it?"
"Do you really think I was able to make such a dynamic project!I tried a lot but couldn't get an inch of it!No one can copy you, Mr Maan Singh Khurana!"
He looked at her with a glint in his eyes & prepared to leave.
"One minute,you did not tell me how you came to know I knew everything,maine toh aapko kuch bhi nahi bataya tha!' asked Geet curiously.
"I own a farmhouse in Noida,do you know?"
"Ye-es I do,So?"
"We will settle your queries once we reach there!"
He smirked.Geet heart was racing when she heard that.
She heard Maan calling out to her,"Come on fast!The clients might be on their way!"
