Raghav signs a cheque of 1 crore and hands it over to
the bank manager. He thanks Sammy for lending him the money and promises him
that he will pay him back very soon.
Vikram feels so happy to see his son after so many
years in front of his eyes and Sunaina feels proud that Raghav has now become a
successful person in his life.
Raghav approaches Vikram and touches his feet and
says "Dad, I just came to know that the mill was being auctioned and
caught the next flight and came here. I could not see that the mill which is
your life and love to be sold to someone else and so here take these papers.
The mill was, is and will always be only yours."
Vikram's eyes fill up with tears to see Raghav have
to much love and respect for him even though he separated him for so many
years. He says "Raghav, you are come here and that is enough for me. You
are my biggest treasure and my only son. This mill was important to me but
without you, I felt so lonely without you and now that you have come back, I
just thank God that you are safe and happy."
Raghav introduces Sammy to his dad saying "Dad,
meet Sammy. He is my boss and I was working for him for the past 4 years in ABC
ad agency.
Sammy says "Vikram uncle, Hello. I am the boss
of Raghav but for me, he is not only my employee but my younger brother. He has
told me so much about you and the family and even though I have never met
you'll before, I feel that I know you'll for years."
Vikram says "Thanks Sammy beta. Can I call you
beta or..."
Sammy says "Sure uncle. I am also like your
son."
Raghav then approaches Sunaina and hugs her and says
"Bhabi, I missed you a lot. Actually, I missed my mom a lot and am really
sorry for not meeting you when you used to visit me in the boarding school and
not picking up your calls. I just wanted to prove myself and then come back and
meet my family. I am really very sorry." Raghav holds his ears and asks
for forgiveness.
Sunaina says "Don't say sorry Raghav. I am just
too happy that my badmaash boy is back. And, I can't believe that the boy who
did not even know how to tie his laces and wear his shirt properly earlier has
now become so big that he wearing a tie and suit and is buying the mill back.
Now you have become a big business man Raghav."
Raghav says "No bhabi. How much ever big I
become in life, I will always be you that spoiled brat Raghav for you. And
bhabi, now stop crying and all those emotional talks. I want to see only happy
tears in your eyes and no rona dhona."
Sunaina wipes her tears and slaps Raghav slowly on
his cheek saying "You have become naughty also now haan."
Kalpana stands besides them and keeps staring at
Raghav saying in her mind "Raghav is back? I thought this idiot will never
return as he must have got some gori chori in London but now he looks so
different. I mean he is so handsome and in this suit, he is looking so
hot." Kalpana looks down and says to herself "Just stop it Kalps.
Remember what Raghav did 10 years back. You have to not forget that and he is
nobody to you. So relax." Kalpana again looks at Raghav saying "No.
How can I relax? He is looking so damn good. I can't stop drooling over him.
When will he come and introduce himself to me?" She stops looking at him
thinking "What if Raghav has brought a girl with him too just like that
boss? After all he is a UK return and on top he is a boy. Don't trust these
boys as they all fall in the same category of usueless cheapos. Huh! Oh God,
but he is coming towards me. He is nearing me. Oh no, what should I do? What
should I tell him? What to do? Should I run away? No, then it will be so embarrassing.
But why you should run away, boys run away from you getting scared that you
will hit them and not you run away from them. Just react normally."
Raghav walks towards Kalpana and Kalpana is about to
say hello when Raghav walks ahead thus ignoring her. Kalpana thinks "Oh so
rude! How can he just walk through me as if I don't exist?"
Raghav looks behind and Kalpana thinks that he wants
to tell her something but instead Raghav calls out for Sunaina and Vikram to
leave for home.

Prem throws all the things from the table on the
ground and shouts on top of his voice to his employee saying "How could
you let the mill be sold to somebody else? I told you to bid a high amount and
warned you that I want to buy that mill at any cost. Then how could you just
let it be bought by someone else?"
The employee says "Sir, I tried my best. The bid
amount had reached 75 lacs and it was about to be sold to me but then the bid
amount reached 1 crore which was beyond our budget. That property was not worth
the amount."
Prem says "What? 1 crore? Which idiot bid such a
high amount for the mill which is worth no more than 70-80 lacs?"
The employee answers "Sir, a business man named
Raghav Singhania bought the mill for 1 crore."
Prem says to himself "Raghav? Vikram Singhania's
son? He is back after so many years? I thought he never wanted to return to
this village as he was settled abroad but now he came back and how did he earn
so much to afford to pay for the mill?"

On reaching home, Sunaina makes everyone to sit in
the hall and calls for the maids to help her make snacks for the family and
guest.
Raghav tells Vikram about how he met Sammy when he
had come for placements to his college and he took his interview. Sammy then
continues the conversation telling Vikram how talented Raghav is and also talks
about how well Raghav was in his job and the pictures he used to click used to
attract clients and after he joined the office, the agency started getting many
new clients and even big budget projects.
Sammy spoke about the girls who used to turn models
only so that Raghav could click a picture of them and before he could say
anything else Raghav says "Ok, I guess it's time that I show dad the gifts
I brought for him and others."
Raghav gives Vikram a suit piece and a watch and says
"Dad, I bought this from the airport. As I did not get a lot of time for
shopping, I just picked up what I thought was best for you."
Vikram says "It's lovely, but there was no need
for this Raghav."
Ragahv says "Why there was no need? You are my
father and everything that I buy for you will be less."
Sunaina comes with snacks and serves it. Raghav gives
her a sari and a neck piece as a gift. Raghav gives all the maids gifts and
says "It's just a token of appreciation for your hard work and you have
been like family members to us and served us all these years."
Kalpana looks at Raghav continuously and notices that
he has not looked at her even once nor spoken anything to her and she says to
herself "Raghav brought gifts for everyone but nothing for me. Not even a
single thing? How stingy he has become? He spoke to everyone over here except
me and even to the maids. Am I less than the maids as well? I am his wi.. No. I
am nobody of his but at least before going to the boarding school we were
friends. Leave it Kalpana. There is no use wondering about that idiot. He is
just the same. Rude and selfish. I don't care whether he talks to me or not.
Huh!"
While doing this, Raghav notices Kalpana sitting
quietly in a corner tapping her feet, playing with her nails and looking at him
out of the corner of her eye and loves to keep her waiting and thinks in his
mind "Kalpi, I know that you are feeling that I am ignoring you but I am
not. How can I ignore you? I have been waiting for this moment since years but
I am wondering how can you be quiet for so long? You were the same girl who I
used to beg to keep quiet but you used to continue bugging me all the time but
today, you have not even spoken a word? Well if you are stubborn then I am too.
And I know you are thinking that I did not bring you any gift but the least you
know is that I have bought a very special gift for you which will arrive
tomorrow. I am sure that you will love it but till then, I won't tell you
anything." He leaves the house to talk on the phone.
Suhana enters the house knowing that Raghav has
arrived from Prem and she rushes in and hugs Sammy by mistake and says
"Raghav, I missed you so much. You know when you left for the boarding
school, I was running behind your car but you dint notice me. (In her mind: I
did not run behind his car but what's there to say it) But now, you look so
good and handsome."
Vikram says "Suhana beta. That's Sammy, Raghav's
boss. Raghav is standing outside the house and is wearing a the black
suit."
Suhana says "Oh sorry Mr. Sammy. I dint know
that. But you too look cute and so similar to Raghav."
Suhana and Vikram start laughing while Kalpana thinks
in her mind "This chipku is here as well. She just waits for a chance to
start flirting with boys."
Suhana says "Sammy, our college is having a get
together party tomorrow and I would love that you and Raghav attend the party.
Anyways, Kalpana will also be there as that is her college too."
Sammy says "Well, I will surely be there but I
can't be sure about Raghav as he is not the party type."
Precap: Kalpana waits for Raghav in the party...
