Maan abruptly got up and opened the drawer to get car keys. Geet warily followed him. ''are you okay?''

Maan,''i need some time alone.'' he moved toward the door and then suddenly realizing how rude he sounded, he stopped and looked back at geet. Geet nodded in understanding,''i understand, maan.''

Maan,''you can read the rest, I know what happened after that.'' he went out.

Geet stared after him. Then, she looked at the last diary.''will she able to read it? What truth it hold?''

''no she understood that sam loved shuriya but geet loved Maan. How could she read about him with

Sam.'' but she made herself go there and pick up the diary. She sat on the floor and started reading again.

'...

Maan got the car out on the road. His cell phone rang, it was his adi with the number he had asked for, he saved the buisness card and dialled the number. The bell rang few times and then, the it was picked up but no one spoke. It figures that the bas***d knew his number.

''you bas***d.''

shuriya,''you called me at 1 a.m. To tell me about my parentage.'' the mockery was evident.

Maan breathed deeply. ''****road, near the *****park, I am waiting for you.''

shuriya heard the challenge, the threat and something long sleep in him awoke in anticipation. He had been dead inside for so long and he welcomed these feelings.''i have waited to hear this for years.'' he ended the call.

'...

Ridhima couldn't sleep, as the day of her wedding came near, she was becoming more agitated realizing that she will be leaving this home forever and with her gone, his brother will become more remote, more isolated. He rarily smiled now except in mockery but still he tried for ridhima seeing her worry but he will never make that effort for Naintara.

And that was the crux of the problem, he will never love anyother women , the way he had loved samira and ridhma had realized it way too late.

She went to the window and looked up at the dark sky and asked for help from god. Please help me, I dont know what to do.''

but no thought, no answer came to her mind. She stared sadly up at the sky and suddenly he eyes shifted to shuriya's car moving out of the drive way. ''where was he going and at this time? There were no body guards with him. An unknown worry nagged her mind and she ran to pick up her mobile. She kept calling him on his mobile but no one picked it up.

'...

Maan was waiting when the red ferrari came out of no where and stopped mere inches from where he was standing but maan didnt moved away. His eyes locked with the man in the car. Shuriya moved out of the car. No mocking smile on his face. All he said was ''here?''

Maan didn't bother to answer, his left fist was already colliding with shuriya's cheek. Shuriya stumbled back a little, but smiled in anticipation and blocked maan's next punch, at the same time his fist connected with maan's rib...but man were trained in martial arts, one fulled with anger,other bitterness,so they settled it the old fashioned way, hitting and punching the emotions out of them. Finally, after thirty minutes, both were on the road unconscious

'...

Geet opened the diary noticing that unlike other this was barely written in, at most 3-4 pages. She took a deep breath and started reading and then, shocked read it again. What does this mean?

Geet looked at time, it was 1:15 a.m. But she needed some answers. She got up and picked up the intercom.

'...15 minutes later...

geet was standing outside sam's apartment. She rang the bell, after 5 minutes, the door opened and sam was standing there in blue jeans and pink shirt. She seemed surprised. ''geet is everything ok? Why isn't maan with you? I was expecting both of you to be here.''

geet smiled ruefully,''i read the last diary alone.''

sameera,''oh. Come inside.'' she took geet to the living room.''you want coffee.'' geet,''no sam, there is no need, I just wish to talk about the diary, what you wrote, is it true?''

sam smiled,''i think it is true.''

Geet,'' I am still shocked, I never imagined...he always...'' she was unable to say anything.

Sam laughed,''come on, geet you got to know that MSK is in love with you and he has been in love with you all his life.''

geet,''he never let it on, he seemed oblivious to me except for you know making my life miserable.''

Sam laughed,''i dont think he really realized it himself, its so cute.''

Geet,''you just wrote in the diary that he loved me nothing else and you didn't mentioned about...geet looked away from sam, it was difficult for her to say it.

Sam became serious and looked at her own hands,''there is nothing to mention geet...when shuriya got married, I got really depressed and started to think even low of myself...so, to comfort me or something, we became intimate, we were both drunk the first time it happened, I dont really remember but I was not happy afterwards...in fact when he came back to India, I came here as his GF but soon I realized that I could never make this relationship work, we started losing our friendship, and at that time I realized that we were best friends not a couple...so we talked and understood that we were not attracted to each other that way. But we decided that we will wait and see if we could find someone else.later I started pushing him to have a stable relationship with someone else and then I started noticing how he talked about you and after seeing your pictures, I realized that why certain females only got his attention, he always tried to find you in others subconsciously...and sam confessed, I want maan to be happy, he is my best friend, who was there when I had nobody, he always stood by me..so, I,,well that club incidence...she left the sentence hanging in open.

Geet,''you you organized that, OMG.''

Sam,''i was afraid that he will never realize that you too are meant to be together and when i saw we were both dressed in similar clothes I decided to use the opportunity.''

Geet,''i dont know what to say, he only told me that he loved me after we got married and even then he never says much.''

Sam,''he is that way, but trust me geet he really loves you and well, he is going to kill me anyway, he used to drive around your hostel at night to just see you going out in the morning and he also made me call you, so he could listen to your voice. Although , he asked me only once, rest of the time, I used to do it anyway. I like you geet.

Geet smiled with happiness, he cared so much for her. Oh my god, she was going to slap him for not telling her.

Sameera, ''now how about a sandwich, I am really hungry and don't tell me you are not.''

geet,''okay, fine but I will help you.'' they both went to the kitchen.

'...

Ridhima got out of the car and ran inside the hospital, she had got call from the police station about shuriya being injured in a fight. Behind her the security guards followed, head of security had already arrived and secured the ward.

A doctor was waiting for her outside the room.

'...

geet ate the 3rd sandwich,''hmmm yummy. There is something about eating late in the night.''

sam,''i can die happily, I learned this recipe from a cooking show and I am a big fan of him.''

both munched quietly for next seconds.

Sam,''shouldn't we leave some for maan, he should be barging in to get you home or crash here.''

geet,''he wanted to be alone.''

sam,''what do you mean.''

geet,''he was upset about his part in the misunderstanding.''

sam looked worriedly at geet,''he went out, alone, damn.'' sam picked up her cell and start calling maan but no one was picking up the mobile.

Geet,''he always want to be alone when he is really upset, I should know, every time I told dad about some rule maan broke, he used to go out or lock himself in the room.''

sam,''geet, he is not a young boy anymore.''

at that time, geet's cell phone rang, it was dadi ma.

'...

geet looked angrily at a battered and bandaged maan who was trying to charm his way out with a rueful smile.

Geet,''this is height of irresponsibility, you are a man not a 12 year old boy who get involved in street fight. Have you seen the newspapers? This incidence has come as headlines in most newspapers.''

maan tried different tactic,''come on geet, I have already been chewed out from dadima to dev and even you...don't start again. Plz..''

geet glared at him,''don't plz me, do you know how I felt when I saw you in here, I thought...her voice broke and tear started rolling down her cheeks.

With his left arm maan brought geet closer as his right was in cast and kissed her tears away...

'..after some time...

geet was sitting on the hospital bed with her head on maan's chest, sniffing quietly. Maan,''where is sam, her quota is still left.''

geet looked toward the door, ''she was here but I don't know where she went after you came into your senses,and I hope she give you a tight slap, friends can do that stuff, if I beat you, they will say wife is beating a injured husband. Maan smiled,''you hurt me all the time anyway, just last week, you bit me..geet covered his mouth, colour blooming on her face and looked worriedly toward the door, dadi ma and others will be coming back, dont say such things.

'...

Shuriya moved out of his hospital room, his injured body protesting but he ignored it. Ridhima,''bhayia, please you are not well, doc hasn't released you yet.''

shuriya,''i am o.k.''

he turned the corridor and stopped dead coming face to face with Sameera.

She didn't look away noticing his bruised cheeks and lip cuts. ''you deserved it.''

shuriya's face tightened,''how is the pretty boyfriend.''

Sam,''if you ever laid a single finger on him ever again, I will roll you and your name in dirt. Don't forget I hold 50% of everything you own.''

Shuriya,''anything else.''

Sam,''yes.'' she slapped him full on face and marched back down the corridor leaving everyone gasping behind her.
