Maan - geet Jaan, I am sorry. I am really sorry please forgive me.

he did not get any response. he pushes her hair back and kisses her forehead.

Maan - geet?

he finds her unconscious. he immediately rings the side bell yelling for a doctor. he pads her cheek trying to wake her up but gets no response from geet. doctor and nurse on duty rush inside. the doctor first makes her lay on the couch. Maan did not like him holding his geet in his arms but do not comment as for now her health is his uppermost priority. 

The doctor start checking geet and order a nurse to inform Dr. Rano. Nurse node and goes to inform Rano who just comes out of her office. After listening to nurse Rano sign and give her some instructions. Nurse get shock looking at calm and composed Rano. She comes out of shock with another shock she gets after listening to Rano's unusual instructions. 

Nurse - but mam

Rano - do as I say

geet wakes up to find herself in a hospital bed. Her bed is beside maan. She sit up in half laying position. She turns to admire this charming man who is sleeping with his mouth slightly open. She finds a note on the table, which is the only thing keeping both the bed apart.

 She takes up the note. The first line makes her smile 

      'i know where will you look after waking up'

now stop admiring my son, I know he is charming. Now drink the energy drink and take some rest. i will send nurse with your food.

She takes her phone from the bedside to the table and makes some calls while drinking energy drinks. Nurse come inside with food for geet while she attends the call. The nurse waits for geet to finish the call. Geet cut the call and ask the nurse "yes??"

nurse - mam you are not allowed to touch your phone.

geet - and you wait for me to cut the call to say this?

nurse - i know you will not listen and will try to call back. 

geet  - then what the purpose of standing.

nurse - it's my duty to follow Dr. Rano and i though you will finish the call fast if I stand beside you.

geet in confusion - why?

nurse - Rano mam did the same. Anyways have your food, Rano mam said to me to tell you to finish it all or she will admit you in hospital for 2 days, with that said nurse went away. 

Geet takes the food tray and start eating it. The first bite itself makes her moan. It makes her realize hungry she is...the spicy taste is very much appreciated by her taste buds. She feel like she is eating after ages which is quite true in her case. The company take over has kept her so busy that she did not get time to have a proper meal. coffee and some snacks are the only things she has in the past week. whenever she has time to have some food she gets calls that take away the little time she has for herself. She can't even complain because her heart knows this is the only thing that kept her alive and sane. 

After finishing her food geet fresh-up in the attached washroom in the room. It always amuses her that how much we humans depend on money. The simple piece of paper can buy you every comfort of life. It can literally change the perception of people about you. 

She comes out of the washroom and looks at sleeping maan. 

geet - maybe not if it was able to buy everything then this man lying in bed who never have been here.  

The whole Khurana family is waiting outside. the nurse has already informed them about geet being up and maan still sleeping because of the impact of medicines. They have seen nurse bring food for geet so they know geet is all right. the nurse has also told them that they can meet geet if they want and rano is busy with some patients so she will come later. But nobody gets the guts to go inside. Even Dev who is quite close to maan and knows their relationship does not want to meet geet especially when maan is sleeping. His attention turns to two men, one middle-aged and one young man who may same age as maan. He does not like the way they enter the private room of his bro and would be bhabhi, yes he still believes that geet will become his bhabhi, no matter the past differences love will fill them all. 

Without waiting he goes to the room to check what these men are doing here. He believes that after maan it's his responsibility to take care of geet. 

few min back in the room...

maan wake up and at once look geet. He find her busy on phone.

maan - geet how are feeling now...and I am sorry I do not know when i slept

geet - I am feeling good.. and its ok its medicine effect.

geet find him rubbing his forehead

geet - what happened? having a headache?

maan - yes...i..

geet in a serious tone - take some depression pills it will be alright.

maan node and turn to a side table for pills. her giggling stop him in mid. he shakes his head thinking she is making fun of me again.

maan - what?

geet - maan it's so easy to make fun of you.

geet smirk - something I feel like I need to protect your innocence.

geet dramatically keep her hand on her chest and sign - ok god! how this innocent child will survive in this world...this whole word to full of mean people. oh!  my innocent child.

maan - I am not

geet -  what? innocent?

maan - not child...no I mean innocent child

geet cover her laugh with the stern look - don't worry Maan Singh Khurana I will PROTECT you from the mean world. you are in good hands...[with wink]

maan - geettt.

 1 man - good evening mam..good evening sir

2 man wish them the same. both geet and maan become serious. maan nod his head while geet wish them back. 

geet - everything is done...

1 man - yes mam..we just need sign and...

geet lawyer looks at dev and stops in mid.

geet too look at dev and said - he is family carry on.

geet lawyer - and witness geet take the file and sign it. she tells maan to do the same.

maan ask - what is it? 

geet - nothing just sign it.

Rano too enters the room. Maan read the bold line and get shocked to find that the file contains a marriage document.

geet roll her eyes - I know..now sign it

He takes out his phone and gets busy.

Savitri - good decision geet..now maan just refuse her once again. She is quite good for khurana standard but i hate her smartness.

After maan, dev takes the file and sign on witness place and then give it to rano to sign.
