Sadly, the new outfit wasn't quite the good luck charm she hoped it would be. Salman was of the opinion that unless Geeta's parents or siblings come forth and are willing to care for her, she should remain in Pakistan with the Edhi family. His blunt response was clearly not the reaction Geeta had anticipated. Her expression said it all - it was like she had suddenly lost all hope. Two screenings of Bajrangi Bhaijaan have Geeta completely convinced, that like Munni, she too will one day have a happy ending. Fortunately or unfortunately, she is unaware that the road to that long hoped for journey home is not so simple.

Having inadvertently crossed over the border from India into Pakistan, Geeta was on humanitarian grounds handed over to Edhi Foundation by the Pakistan Rangers some 12 years ago. Unable to hear or speak, it is Karachi that she has called home for now over a decade. Over the years, despite repeated attempts to reunite Geeta with her own, authorities have thus far had little or no luck tracking down the whereabouts of her family.

There are indeed miles to go before this puzzle is even partially pieced together, but for Geeta, the past few weeks have only been ground gained - one step closer home, one step closer to being reunited with her family. Here's hoping!
