Kidnapper and Maan moving in a Tata Sumo...Maan's hands were tied...
Kidnapper: Is it true?
Maan: What?
Kidnapper: Are u really Gay?
Maan gives him a quite annoyed look...he wanted to pound on him, eat him up alive...
Kidnapper: Whats that look for?I am not ur kind..
Maan: I m also not of that kind...Don't u dare talk about it againMy time was running bad...And Geet had lied about me to her uncle...
By saying so Maan was almost about to touch Kidnapper...
Kidnapper: Hey hey...distance..maintain distance...tum jaison ka aajkal koi bharosa nahi hai[I can not trust your kind of people]
Maan was annoyed to the core, ok..atleast stop the vehicle...
Kidnapper: Why?
Maan: Its urgent...try and understand...
He stopped the vehicle...and got down to open Maan's door as Maan's hands were tied...
Maan got down and stood near the bushes...untie me
Kidnapper: Get lost..you idiot..
Maan: Ok then I will do it in the car...any how we have to travel long...
Kidnapper: Shut up!! Stop talking nonsense otherwise, I will shoot you.. he untied Maan's hands...as he proceeded to keep the rope in the vehicle...another car approached him...and stopped as soon as the driver saw him...
The one who was sitting on the passenger seat asked him, Sir is there any shortcut to Tirupati?
Maan turned to see who was it
Kidnapper: Go straight you will hit a mud road right side...take that road, you will save 50kms
With both the hands at his back...he pointed his gun towards Maan so that he won't think of escaping...
Maan felt helpless
Kidnapper saw a girl in the car and asked... love marriage??Going to marry in Tirupati?
That man smiled
Kidnapper: Oh..all the very best
And the car zoomed away...
He made Maan sit again n they proceeded to their destination...
Maan's hands were still untied, I think u forgot something
Kidnapper: No need of it
Maan: Now suddenly you trust me
Kidnapper: Not you, I trust this gun
Maan gave a sigh
Kidnapper: Soo now Sam's matter is over...next??

Scene changes
Maan was working in the office and explaining to the editor about something when he got a call...hello
He was petrified...but he rushed to the hospital as soon as possible breaking all the traffic rules...
Doctor: Sorry Maan...your mother already had a brain hemorrhage...we lost her even before she was brought to the hospital...we couldn't do anything
Maan - No Doctor its not so...DO U UNDERSTAND??tell me nothing has happened to her..just tell me
Doctor: Please understand..it was all sudden
Nothing could calm him...he just didn't want to live that moment...
Annie came rushing to him with Arjun...though she was herself shocked...being an elder sister she tried her best to console Maan in her embrace...she lightly patted her back consoling him...
Maan was bit relaxed...he proceeded to see his mother...seeing her lifeless he felt a part of him being taken away...he sat motionless beside her, for don't know how long...
All the moments spent with her came to him as a flash...
kab se keh rahi maan...khana kha lo...
maan lets go to a movie na
maan come now n have milk...koi bahana nahi chalega
His trance broke when Arjun came and patted his back indicating they all should leave now...
Maan: I will take her home Doctor...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
After a few days
Maan was seen alone in that house
Every corner in the home had some or the other memories. Her voice was ringing in his ears
Maan...if you don't listen to me..I will not talk to you..
who will fill my void in my life now?who will lead me to light?shall i wait for u eternally?will it be a memory only..for my entire life?
Savitri was seen seeing maan's palm...
Maan: Mom looks like I will have loads of girlfriends...
Savitri: A soulmate will be only one...anyone who comes after her wont matter...
Maan remembered his mother last lines...
Do u really want this Maan?
He again went into a deep thought...his mind stopped at Geet and the time spent with her...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as she entered his house she came to know that he was getting married...everyone was busy in their own way...
Dev's dad was telling Dev something
Dev's dad: Your friends are here from Hyderabad...I have arranged a guest house...are 3 rooms enough? if you or they need anything else, do tell me, and then Dev turned to see Geet at the doorstep
Everyone was a bit furious and confused as to why was she here...Dev got up and took her to aside assuring others...
Dev's dad was unable to comprehend anything...he just wanted to see things go as planned
Dev took her to another room and raised his eye brow asking what happened
Geet: You were right
Dev: About what?
Geet: About meI m really mad...I deserve this
Dev: What happened geet?
Her eyes started shedding big fat tears, you were right about my relationship with maandidn't you ask me to check myself?

Dev: what? what did I do?u idiot

Dev was expressionless...he didnt know how to react...poor fellow...
Geet: Its too late now...why is Maan in such a hurry?he could have waited for me na...bolo (seeing dev)
Dev was like what would i do?
Geet: saare mard ek jaise hote haiproud and egoistic
