Kalpana goes inside the room and changes back to her original outfit.
Raghav saves all the photographs he has clicked and
chooses the best ones to frame. He looks at the pictures again and thinks
"Kalpana is so beautiful. A perfect Indian bride. I wish that she would
walk the ramp in this bridal dress. But I know, she will never agree. I should
just frame these photographs as they are beautiful and I am sure she will love
it. Hmm...Oh, I forgot, I did not give any gift to Kalpana for Karva Chauth.
How could I forget this? Sunaina bhabi told me to buy something for her and I
was so busy in my work that it completely slipped off my mind. I'll go to a
shop today and buy something for her. What should I buy? Diamond ring,
necklace, hmmm.... watch? I guess she is not into all these luxuries. Then what
to buy for her. Let me research on the internet."
Raghav checks all the shopping websites but still
remains clueless as what kind of gift will Kalpana like. He goes towards the
window and finds Kalpana's scooty parked and then he remembers her telling
Sunaina that when she gets her first salary, she will buy a second hand bike as
her bike always gets punctured and needs repair. "Yes, a new scooty will
be the best for her. I will just book one for her online."

Sunaina looks at the ghungroos and keeps smiling at
them remembering the past. Sammy knocks the door and says "Do you need a
friend now? I am always there."
Sunaina looks at him and says "Oh Sammy. Err...
I was just thinking about the past. Nothing much."
Sammy says "I would love to know it, I mean if
you want to share it."
Sunaina smiles and says "There is not much in my
past."
Sammy enters the room and says "Tha photograph
on the wall is your husband right?"
Sunaina says "Yes, he is Rohit. These ghungroos
remind me of the day I first met him in my college. I was 17 and he was 21. He
and Vikram dad had come to the college to attend the annual day function in the
college. I performed on an old marathi song Hath naka lavu majhya sadi la...
and I noticed Rohit looking at me throughout the dance and clapping. That was
the first day we saw each other and I was nervous while performing on the stage
but then his appreciation made me feel comfortable and the function also went
well."
Sammy says "So, you are Rohit had a love
marriage?"
Sunaina says "Not exactly a love marriage. It
was love and arranged both. After that function after few days, Vikram dad came
to meet my parents to ask my hand for Rohit and my parents agreed to it. I was
still 17 and so he had to wait for 6 months till we get married. We did not
believe in child marriage neither did Vikram and Rohit believe in it and so
they waited till I become 18. We started meeting after that and slowly I and
Rohit became good friends. We started going for movies and ....I mean that we
could understand each other well in these months. We then got married and I
opened a dance class which was sponsored by Vikram dad. Rohit encouraged me a
lot and then everything was going well. She thinks "I had got the news of
my pregnancy after 2 months of marriage and we were so happy. Vikram, Raghav
and Rohit celebrated when they heard the news.") She wipes her tears and
says "After 5 months of my marriage, Vikram left for Delhi to sign a new
contract for his mill and while returning back, he met with an .... he takes a
deep breath and gets chocked as due to the pain in her voice and eyes."
Sammy goes and brings water for her and says
"Stop saying anything Sunaina. I can feel your pain and what happened,
happened. It was destiny and nobody's mistake. Drink this water."
After sometime, Sammy leaves the room and Sunaina
looks at Rohit's photograph with tears in her eyes and says "I wish that
day you had not left the city. I wish today you were there with me. Our child
would be there with us. That day, on hearing the news of your accident, I
slipped down the stairs and our baby also died. I wish this would not
happen."

Kalpana leaves the room and notices Prem coming out from
Manish's cabin. She says "Prem, what are you doing here?"
Prem looks at her angrily and says "What's your
problem? And who are you to ask me this question? This is not your
office."
Kalpana smirks and says "You have not changed
even a bit na Prem. The same selfish, egoistic, and cunning nature which will
never leave you. I don't know why did your parents keep your name Prem in the
first place. Lol! It's an irony."
Prem says "Just buzz off. Don't have time for
your nonsense. Every second of mine is worth is lacs."
Prem leaves from there and Manish's assistant comes
out and says "Where is Prem?"
Kalpana answers "Why? He just left."
The assistant says "Oh, he left his file in the
cabin itself."
Kalpana says "Give it to me. I will give that
..., I mean I will give it to Prem."
Kalpana goes down the stairs and notices Prem
entering his car. She runs down shouting his name and while rushing towards
him, she slips and falls on Prem. He hits the handle of the car and gets hurt.
Kalpana's hair gets stuck in coat button and she keeps struggling to take it
out. Raghav notices this from his window and says "WTH is Kalpana doing
with this jerk Prem? And why is she hugging him like this? Wait, I'll go down
and see what is the matter."
Prem scolds Kalpana saying "What the hell is
this? You can't even walk properly? Useless blind ..." He takes off her
hair and breaks it.
Kalpana screams loudly with pain and says "Ouch!
Why did you break my hair, you jerk. I just came here to give you the file but
I slipped and it was Ewww... Your coat stinks."
Prem says "What did you say? My coat stink? You
are stinking and your dirty oily hair. Chi! In fact how can I forget this. I
used to tell you this since childhood and still you are the same."
Kalpana says "Get lost you idiot. You stink and
your useless car, coat stinks. In fact you are an old man with white hair. Just
take your file and go to hell."
Kalpana turns to enter the office and dashes Raghav.
She gives him an angry look and leaves. Raghav looks at Prem who keeps
grumbling and he enters the car and leaves. Raghav goes inside and follows
Kalpana.
Kalpana enters the lift and keeps pressing the button
in anger. She enters the lift and Raghav rushes inside.
Kalpana says "What's wrong? Why did you rush
inside like this and that too by pushing me?"
Raghav says "First tell me, what were you
telling Prem?"
Kalpana says "Prem? Ya I had to give him the....
BTW, why are you asking me this question? And why should I answer you?"
Raghav pulls her closer saying "Tell me. You
were standing so close to him and hugging him on the road?"
Kalpana says "What? I was hugging him? Big joke.
And why are you so concerned about me? I can do anything."
Raghav says "You can do anything but not on the
road. You did not see how the office employees were staring at you both? It
looked so weird."
Kalpana says "I don't care what anyone says and
why are you worried? Let them say what they want. Who cares?"
Raghav says "I care. You are my wi...."
Kalpana looks at him angrily and says "What?
What am I of you?"
Raghav says "Leave it. You won't understand as
you are still a child only and behave so immaturely."
Kalpana pushes him and says "What child child
you keep saying? I am 22 and a grown up girl you got it. I know what am I doing and what
should I do. I am not a fool or immature."
Raghav grabs her hand and is about to say something
when the lift opens and Manish notices them in this intimate position in the
lift.
Precap: Kalpana's scooty gets punctured on the road and she takes a life from an unknown person....
