Sameera got a phone call after reaching home.That was Nihaal's call.
Nihaal:Sameera..i want to meet you now.
SAMEERA:Now?We just met now.
Nihaal:Yes.I thought of telling something serious later.But now i feel that i should not delay in telling that to you.
SAMEERA:What is so serious?
Nihaal:I will tell.I will come to pick you up.I will be there soon.
Nihaal came in a car.Sameera got inside the car and the car moved.
Nihaal and Sameera went to a mall.
SAMEERA:Why did you bring me here?
Nihaal:You had asked me who my beloved is.You told me that all the girls were mad about me in school.But Sameera..the girl whom i love was never after me.
She looked at him with anxiety.
SAMEERA:What are you saying?i can't understand anything.
Nihaal:That girl is you Sameera.
She was shocked.
SAMEERA:What?
Nihaal:i love you Sameera.Since school days i have been loving you.But i did'nt confess my love to you thinking that you love Maan.But since you both are only friends...
Sameera became emotional.Her eyes were wet.Nihaal became uncomfortable seeing her tears.
Nihaal:Sam...did I say anything wrong?
S:No.I am crying because of happiness.Do you know Nihaal?I have been hiding my love for you since our school days.
He was surprised:Sam...that means...?
S:Yes Nihaal..I love you.But I never had any hope about getting your love.Still I loved you.But after many years surprisingly I met you and you said what I dreamt of hearing from you.
N:This shows that true love will always win.
S:But why did Maan's love fail though it was true?
N:What?
Sameera told him everything about Maan and Geet.
N:Shocking!
Prem asked Geet:Did you take your medicine?
GEET:Why should you bother about it?
Geet hated to look at Prem.
G:Because of you I lost all my friends.Everyone hates me only because of you.
P:If you hate me this much why are you staying with me?
GEET:Just for my baby.
P:Geet...we can't live our life like this.
Geet:Then what do you expect from this strained marriage?Happiness?Love?Or just pleasure?
P:Stop it Geet.Maan is also upset like you.You both should unite.I have decided to tell the truth to him.I can't hide it anymore.
GEET:Prem!
P:Don't oppose me.
He went away.Geet was tensed:If Maan comes to know the truth he will be shattered.
Naintara and Dev had over heard their conversation.They were shocked.They came inside.
NT:So your marriage with Prem is on rocks.
Geet did'nt know how to face them as she understood that their hatred has become public now.
NT:You deserve it Geet.Because you cheated a man who loved you sincerely.
Dev:God is seeing everything.Cheaters cannot live happily.
They went out.Geet cried a lot.
Prem told the truth to Maan and Sameera.They were shocked.Maan slapped him hard.
Prem's tears fell down.
MAAN:I never thought that you can stoop so low.Why did you do this?
P:I was mad about Geet.
Still i love her.But she hates me.She has loved only you.
Sam:Prem,you are so cheap.You played wth your brother's life.
Maan slapped Prem again.Because of you I misunderstood my Geet.Geet...I want to see her.My Geet...
Maan cried.Sameera felt very sad.
Geet came out of the temple.She was shocked to see Maan standing outside.Geet's tears flow down.
GEET:Maan!
She thought:Did Prem tell him the truth?
Maan wept before her:I am sorry Geet.I misunderstood you.
Geet thought:What I feared for has happened.How will Maan bear this pain?
Geet shed tears:It's ok Maan.
MAAN:I curse myself for doubting you.Geet...
She shed tears.Maan wiped her tears with pain.
MAAN:Don't cry Geet.You have to be bold like before.
GEET:Maan!
MAAN:Geet...now I know the truth.
G:Maan...do you hate me?I spent a night with Prem.I lost my purity.
Maan:No Geet.I can never hate you.You are always pure.Geet...I am willing to accept you.So please come back to me.
Geet burst into tears:No Maan.No...I can't.I shared my body with Prem.Only you had the right on my body.But unknowingly I gave your right to Prem.With this impure body Ican't come back to you.
Maan:Geet...stop it.Who told you that your body is impure?I told you..you are still pure for me.
G:But I can't come back to you Maan.Please don't force me.
She walked away.Maan walked to the opposite direction.
They both were crying without each other's knowledge.
Sameera told the truth to Yash and Meera.They wept hearing the truth.
Meera:Oh!I was so rude to Geet on our wedding day without knowing the truth.
Yash:How could we misunderstand our Geet?
Sam:Because we all failed to be her friends.
Geet came back home.Shekhar stared at her.Nilanjana looked at her helplessly.
S:Where were you?
Geet was silent.
S:I know that you can't say that.You had gone to meet Maan.Right?
Geet was shocked.
S:One of my friends saw you talking to Maan.
GEET:Yes,I metMaan.
Nilanjana,Dev and Naintara were shocked.
S:Very nice.Nilanjana...this is why i opposed Maan's relationship with Geet.I had a feeling that she is not good for him.First she dated Maan.She dumped him and went after Prem.Both our sons were trapped by her.Now she is again after Maan.Maan is a fool who always falls for Geet.What kind of a girl are you Geet?
Prem came.
S:No moral values at all.
GEET:Enough dadiji.
All were shocked as for the first time a lady has raised voice against him.
GEET:I trapped your sons?No.I loved Maan sincerely.But Prem trapped me.
She told them the truth.All were shocked.Tears flowed down from her eyes.
GEET:Now tell me..did i do any mistake?Mummiji..if you were in my position what would you have done?
Nilanjana wept.
Geet:Naintara bhabhi...Dev bro...that day you both accused me of cheating on Maan.Did I really cheat Maan?I was just trying to save him by marrying the person who spoiled me.
N:Prem..how could you stoop so low?I can't believe that you are my son.
Prem was numb.
Shekhar:Prem,is Geet telling the truth?
Prem's lips shivered.He understood Prem's reply from his silence.
Shekhar slapped him.
S:For the first time i feel that i have no courage to face failure.You are not my son.You are a devil's creature.Get out of this house.
All were shocked.
P:Dad!
S:Maan left this house as he did'nt want to be here.You will be leaving this house as i don't want you to stay here.One more thing..Geet will stay here.I will give her all support.Because she has undergone that much of trauma because of my son.
All were surprised about his change in the attitude towards Geet.
GEET:Please don't send him out Dadiji.
S:Geet...?
GEET:I married Prem for my child.So if he is not here what is the use of me staying here?My baby should have identity.My baby should have parents atleast for namesake.
All were silent.
Geet went to her room.
Naintara and Dev came.
NT:Geet...
G:Bhabhi!
Naintara was upset:I am sorry Geet.Without knowinf the truth we hurt you a lot.
G:It's ok Bhabhi.It's not your fault.
Dev:Geet...Maan bro knows the truth?
G:Yes.Prem confessed the truth to him.
NT:Did'nt you accept him?
G:Yes,but I rejected him.
They were shocked.
G:I don't want to be Maan's bride with this ruined body.
NT:No Geet.It's not your fault.So you are still pure.
G:Bhabhi...please don't say anything more.I can't change my decision.
Dev-Naintara left the room.They were sad.They saw Prem.They stared at him.
Dev:Because of you our Maan bro is suffering.God will never forgive you.
Prem was guilty.
Prem entered the room.
P:Geet...thank you..because of you dad allowed me to stay here.Otherwise i would have lost my home.
G:Prem..please...don't say sorry.I find it disgusting.
She lay on the bed.Prem was sad.
Naintara was very sad:Without knowing the truth how much did we hurt Geet?Poor Geet.She suffered a lot.
D:Naintara,we can't change the past.
NT:Does that mean Geet has to live her life with Prem?
Naintara's tears rolled down her cheeks:After knowing the truth Maan Devarji will never be able to live peacefully.
Dev wiped her tears:Don't cry Naintara.I can't bear it.
She caressed his face:Sorry Dev.I will not cry.
Maan cried thinking of Geet.
Sameera:Maan,Geet sacrificed her own happiness for you.She loves you that much.So she cannot be away from you for a long time.Because she knows that being away from her hurts you and she cannot bear your pain.
Maan looked Sameera with some hope.
