The morning came both Maan and Geet were holding each other just looking at the celining thinking about their fight last night.
"Geet if this is how we are going to fight then there is no point in having any furniture in the house"
Both slowly sit up and looks at the mess, everything and I mean everything was either broken or ripped in pieces. Maan and Geet slowly started smiling and then laughing. Its been a while since both laughed openly like this especially Geet. Soon the laugh turned into tears for Geet. Maan hugged her tightly whispering sories and sweet nothing in her ears.
"You know why I began to be a thief? I wasn't like this you know Maan. I once had a family, a mother, a father and an elder sister but everything was gone and everything was snatched from me by money. Money that destroyed all of my happiness. I began hating rich people that flaunt their wealth and put poor people down just because they couldn't afford to have a nice house as the rich people. I steal from the rich to give to the poor, is that bad? Am I bad?"
"you are not bad Geet. Its just the method you chose was bad. There could've been other methods to achieve this."
"Ohh please Maan, spoken like a police officer. What other methods are you taking about? Going to the police who were themselves bribed? Go the the court? No, Maan. That would'nt have worked in fact no one would've helped a poor girl like me so I did what I thought was best and took revenge"
"Geet what exactly happened?" (He holds her hand and hugs her from behind. She relaxes her back against his chest as she closed her eyes remembering her past)
"It all started after my sister got married to the guy she fell in love with. He was rich, he was sweet and caring toward my sister and my parents. At least, that is what he made us believe. A week after the marriage, he showed his true colors. He started beating my sister, physically and mentally abusing her for a mere land propriety that my father had owned. He had everything one could imagine Maan but still he wanted that land to open hotel. He revealed that is the only reason he had decided to marry a dirt bag of my sister was for the land." (Maan tightended his grip around her waist tightly hearing that)
We middle and poor people are dirt? My father was saving that land for me and my marriage since everything else went to my sister but I decided to give in to his demand and told my father to give him the land. Nothing had mattered to me then my sister at that moment. When he got the land, we thought he would change and see how lucky he was but instead things took turn for the worst. After he built the hotel, he made my sister work there like a slave catering to all the guests, there would be some days where she wouldn't eat in fear. He even made us work there under the pretese of being a better husband for my sister but nothing happened.
One day, when my sister decided she had enough, she called he police on him but of course the police didn't help her. Instead, they openly laughed at my sister as her husband gave them money to keep quiet. Police are there to protect people not harm them. After they left, he tortured my sister, he (Geet struggles to talk but with Maan's effort she looks at him) he umm cuts her body while she was alive listening to her yelling, begging and crying for mercy but he was enjoying it...what she must be going through, how she must've yelled still haunts me to this day. Her memories comes back to me when I see same rich people like him. After he decapitates her body, he burns her...Maan nothing was left of my sister..not even ashes its as if she was never born. We had nothing left of my sister..nothing...
Maan hugs her as he cried along with her. He soothes her back trying to calm her down but he knew these were years of tears that she was holding back on. She needed to cry and lift the burden.
My parents couldn't handle this shock, my mother lost her mental balance while my father killed himself leaving me all alone to handle this mess. I went to the police but they just denied me saying I am making this up and my sister ran away with some other man since her body was never found. We had nothing left of her as a proof. They had labeled my sister as characterless who couldn't keep her husband happy. Who ran away with her lover. No one helped me to find the truth and fight for this battle. The rage inside me grew, my mind about the police and the rich people changed. They were and will be my enemy. I watched as he gloated and celebrated my sister's death. I vowed to ruin him and to bring him the same death as my sister.
"Geet did you...did you kill him?"
I ruined him first Maan. With the help of Meera's father who was a martial arts professor, he thought me how to defend myself and how to protect myself. The pain that was left behind was more compared to any pain anyone can give me in life. I robbed him of the very status he was gloating about, I ruined the hotel he dared to build on my land, I made sure he was on the ground and became a dirt bag as he had called us but i wasn't happy with that. The same money he had used to bribe the police officers, I just his same money to bribe them. They killed him and labeled it as an accident. I then started on this mission as a bandit queen. I give everything to the poor and help them. With their own money, I managed to open up small clinics, schools and self protection classes for women. I even opened safety account for each village with some money inside for dire emergencies. No one will be labeled as dirt bags anymore. I will continue on to this mission no matter what Maan. My team helps me in this.
Trust is a very huge thing for me Maan. My whole team works on trust basis without trust there is nothing.
"I know Geet and you have no idea how sorry I am. I left my dad's house after what he had done to you. I am a police officer but not all police officers are bad. My dad was just doing his job just like I was. I had no intention of hurting you and in fact I was ready to leave everything for you Geet. You belong with me and I belong with you. If it wasn't for your team, then I wouldn't be here." (he hugs her)
"What do you mean if it wasn't for my team? Did...did they help you in this situation? for my kidnapping?"
Can you blame them? I uhh came up with a plan to help you escape from jail. I was the one that helped Yash get into disguise and give you a key so you can escape. I knew you would eventually so I just helped you escape a little earlier. I had decided the only way you can be happy if you were far away so I told Meera to take you away without telling me.
I wanted you to live the life you wanted but then Meera called me worried sick about you planning another heist..your last one...Surprisingly, I was in the same city as you working so it was just matter of time of meeting you. She had told me about your plan, where you are going to be, what you are going to wear and your exit plan. I figured this would be my only chance I might get to ask for your forgiveness and I kidnapped you so that you can be saved.
Geet gets up giving out a sarcastic chuckle while putting on Maan's shirt. Maan waits for her to say something but Geet just stood quietly buttoning up her shirt as if it was the most interesting thing she was doing.
"Geet say something"
"I am done. I can't trust anyone...it would've been better if police had killed me instead" (Maan gets up in anger and slaps her. He holds her elbows harshly pulling her towards him while Geet tried to escape from his trip)
"If you want to die then fine be my guest in fact I will help you by personally killing you. That is the solution to your problem right? All your life you have been avoiding your past and the trust is Geet you are not helping others as you say you are just avoiding the inevitable. You have something good here.
You have friends who care for you, a guy who, by the way, left his family and his whole damn effing career for the women he loves only to see how selfish she really is. You put your friends life in danger everyday and yet they stood by you whenever you needed them. They are not weak Geet you are.
You know everyone could've led a different life Geet. I gave you that chance to start over again and what do you do? You effing decide to rob again and put them in jail. If I hadn't showed up and helped them escape then Meera would've died. You know how close she was? You are weak Geet and you are hiding behind this fake anger of yours. Wake up Geet...wake up" (He lets go of her harshly and puts on his pants.) "I am going now..."
"You really think I am selfish? Have I been putting my friends life in danger?" (She turned around to see Maan opening the door...she runs toward him hugging him from behind while crying.) "Am sorry...please don't go...you are right I am weak...I am not as strong as I show it to be...but please don't punish me by leaving. I will make everything okay. I will change. I promise. I need you more then you need me. Please..."
"I don't want you to change Geet...I like the way you are but just don't think about dying anytime soon." (He turns around kissing her and closes the door as both walk backwards toward a sofa)
Adi sat on his sofa as he stared at Pari while she slept like a baby in his house. All night she made him go for a long drive under the moon while he was scared just waiting for her to attack him. After all she is a gundi and soon he is going to marry her. I should've listened to my mom when she told me police academy is not for me but no I had to defy her and now am paying this by marrying a gundi. Oh god how is my married life is going to be like? What if she hits me? Or worse kill me while am sleeping. Adi gets scared when she moves a little. Quickly he gets up and runs to the kitchen to grab a knife ready to attack. He walks outside slowly holding the knife like the lady in psycho movie. He moves toward Pari, who is still sleeping, and stands before her. Suddenly, Pari opens her eyes scaring Adi who moves back in fear with a nervous smile.
"he he he...yyyooouuu aaarreee aawwwaakkee?"
"So cute..i love your stutter..it doesn't bother me..." (Adi blushes looking down and adjusts his glasses) "Anyway, lets go out tonight..."
"umm Paarri...I wwaannted tooo aasskk yyyouu ssoomething...wwhhy do you want to maarry mee?"
"Because you are cute and caring...I saw the way you care for Maan and I know you will never hurt anyone...maybe I was too bold but i can't help it...I am a very straight forward person and I say what's in my mind and heart...am sorry...I should've asked about how you feel..."
"he he he...I feeel..."
"There they are..." (Bunch of guys came barging inside the house and placed black mask on Pari and Adi's head about they knew whats going on. They tied their hands and feet and carried them out)
"Pari save me..I will marry you"
"Oye shut up..I am tied up...can't do anything.."
Maan and Geet walked around the messy kitchen trying to find some dishes that were not broken for their breakfast. Maan puts his arms around her waist pulling her closer as she pours cereal into a bowl.
"Maan stop it and go find me two bowls..."
"We can share one...why need to waste any dishes...plus we are going to end up breaking it anyway. See look at what you have done to me...jungli billi" (he shows his back with brusies from their fight)
"You act like I didn't get hurt.."
"Ohh yeah? Show me?" (He starts lifiting up her shirt slowly. Geet slaps his hand while pushing a bowl filled with cereral in his hand.)
"Lets eat...we have to clean up this place..."
"Nahh i will hire someone...plus I think we should leave it...we can always break whatever is left" (he laughs. Geet sits on Maan's lap as both feed each other breakfast lovingly.) "Geet I think we should talk to your friends."
"yeah I was thinking the same but before I would like to meet your family. I can't carry on this relation knowing your family hates me."
"I don't know if that is a good idea..I mean I know my dad..yeah my grandmother and my brother will accept you but my dad he won't"
"I know but I wanna give it a try..sooner or later he will accept me. I want to leave my life behind and start new and also I want you to go back to your old job. I dont' think I will be able to live with myself or carry on this relation knowing I took you away from your family. Please Maan"
"Fine if that is what you want then we will go back but Geet I dont think I will be able to control the situation if my dad decided to arrest. Police is still looking for you."
"I dont mind the punishment Maan maybe that will help me leave my old self behind and start fresh. That might be the only way to pay for what I have done"
"Well then we can both serve together when my dad finds out I am the one that helped you escape."
"But.." (She stopped talking when bunch of men dressed in suits came barging inside the house. Both Maan and Geet stood up taking their fighting positons.) "who are you guys?"
"Come with us" (One of the man said)
"ha you guys would have to fight us first..." (Maan said)
"sorry sir we have no intention of that." (One of them threw a smoke bomb toward them...quickly they grabbed both of them placing black cloth over their heads and tying their hands and feet)
"Don't you guys dare touch her or else I will kill you both" (maan says through his black mask. He felt three guys carrying him..he tried his best to wiggle out of their hold but it was useless since his hands and legs were bounded. He just hoped that Geet was safe. Both were placed inside a van before they drove off)
Maan and Geet were carried away again by same men and were made to sit down...both heard some other voices that seemed familier to them. The men removed black mask making them flinch with sudden bright light. Soon their eyes adjusted to their surroundings, they were in a white room...both look to each other to make sure they were okay...and then their eyes went toward other people in the room besides the men that kidnapped them...Meera, Yash, Pari and Adi were there too tied the same way as them. The kidnapped men stood in front of them with their hands folded in front.
"Can't believe you guys did that to me...open my hands and I will show you who Pari is" (She yelled...Men didn't move they just stood there as if she hadn't said anything at all)
"sorry to bring you guys over like this...but we knew we had no other option" (they heard a voice from speakers. All heard a door open being open, a man stepped in front of them with a smile dressed the same way as other kidnapped men.) We have a propistion for you guys! (he smiles as he snapes his fingers walking away. The kidnapped men move toward them holding a knife. Adi screams in fear. The men slowly start cutting the ropes that held their hands and feet off. All of them sigh in relief.)
"Now lets get down to business" (the man smiles)
