Manish Malhotra gets impressed looking at the designs
drawn by Kalpana and tells her that she is good at her work but needs to
improve a lot and he will help her and guide her. He tells her to come the next
day in the morning at his office and he will then start training her for the
upcoming fashion show and then he leaves from there.
Kalpana leaves from her college and reaches home. She
thinks to first rush and thank Raghav and asks Sunaina about him. Sunaina says
"Raghav is in the gym area which is upstairs and next to his room but why
are you so excited Kalpu." Kalpana says "I'll tell you everything
bhabi but now I need to thank Raghav."
Kalpan rushes to the
meet Raghav and notices him working out on the treadmill. He is wearing
a blue colored banyan, track pants and perspiring. Kalpana just stands at the
entrance and admires Raghav's body for a long time, looks at his biscpets as he
walks and he then takes a bottle of water and pours it on his hear. He notices
Kalpana at the entrance and asks her "Why are you standing there? You too
want to work out?"
Kapana says "Err... Yes, I too actually yes I
want to... I mean..."
Raghav says "Can't get what you are trying to
say Kalpana but come here if you want to learn how to exercise. I'll teach you
if you want."
Kalpana approaches him and he makes her to sit on the
exercise bike. He holds her hands and tells her how to move with the bike. She
feels so good with his touch that she forgets why she has come there and just
wants to spend time with Raghav. Raghav says to himself "I know Kalpana
that you have come here to thank me for my gift and Manish called me up and
told me everything. I also can understand your feelings for me but you just
unable to express yourself. I will wait till the day you come and tell me that
you love me unlike yesterday when you told me what you feel while being
drunk."
Raghav then takes her to the multi jogger machine and
stands behind her explaining her how to use it and she feels his chest touching
her back which makes her feel embarrased. He then gives her a towel to wipe off
her sweat and says "I bought these equipments today itself from the city
and you can come here daily to work out. It's good for your body and I am going
to order more equipments soon and make this room and complete gym area."

Sunaina goes to the terrace to dry the clothes and
then hears the voice of the children who are playing cricket in the play
ground. She peeps from the terrace and Sammy notices Sunaina standing on the
terrace and clapping when the children score a six and four. He goes to the
terrace and says "Sunaina, it seems you love children a lot." Sunaina
turns to see Sammy and she replies saying with a smile "Yes, children are
the most innocent souls and it's so pleasant to see them all happy and cheerful."
Sammy approaches her and stands beside her saying "Hmm... You're right. I
look at these children and remember my childhood when I used to play with my
friends and my parents used to call me for lunch and I used to refuse saying
that I want to score 100 more runs and then I will come to eat." Sunaina
hears this and starts laughing and says "That means you were quite naughty
when you were small. Raghav was the same but after his mom's death, he became a
very silent child."
Sammy says "Raghav has told me about you that how
you have looked after him like a mom and even you considered Kalpana as your
own child. If you don't mind can I ask you a question?"
Sunaina replies "Of course. Ask."
Sammy says "Why din't you get married after your
husband's death? You were so young when he died and you could settle down years
back and be happy."
Sunaina looks at him with a surprise "I did not
want to get married as I was quite happy with my life. And I don't want to talk
about this now. I am sorry." Saying this Sunaina wipes her tears and
leaves from there."
Sammy says to himself "Did I hurt her by asking
this question? Sammy, why did you have to say this thing to her and hurt her?
What she must be thinking of you now?"

Kalpana blushes and says "Thanks" and then
she is about to leave when it strikes her that she had come to thank him for
introducing her to Manish Malhotra. She says "Raghav, I actually had come
here to thank you for making me meet Manish Malhotra. He came to my college and
said that you told him about me and...."
Raghav interrupts her saying "There is no need
to thank me Kalpana. I did this because I want this village to prosper. I have
been away for so many years but have updated myself constantly on the on-goings
of this village and know everything that happened during these years. I waited
so long as I wanted to first become independent so that I can give my dad, his
mill and the village people their respect and property back and make this place
again as before. I convinced Manish to come here as he is the only one who can
help me in my goal and this is not only a fashion show but my hope to set
things right. In the fashion show, Manish needed a person who could help him in
his work from the village itself and it was only you who could help him out and
I know you are talented enough for this job but a fresher still and this is a
way you can show your talent to the world. I am going to set up an ad agency
with Sammy in the mall here and we will advertise and promote this fashion
show. The dress materials will come from dad's mill and be displayed during
this fashion show. I am going to arrange for models as well who will walk the
ramp. That's what I wanted and was planning for all these years and I hope you
will help me in this."
Kalpana feels so touched by Raghav's intentions and
feels like giving him more respect and says "Of course Raghav. Anything
for dad and for the village people. I am sure we will succeed."
Raghav says "That's what I expected from you
Kalpana. And one more thing, Prem will try his best to make this fashion show a
flop as he is too having his own mill and we need to be alert so that he does
not succeed in his intentions. Since I don't talk to him, you need to help me
out and get me whatever information you get from Suhana as she is his cousin and
staying with him in the same house. I hope you are getting what I am trying to
tell you."
Kalpana says "Yes, I know what you are trying to
tell me and now I will be closer to Suhana and do my best to get out
information from her and don't worry about that Prem too. He tried several
times to buy my house but he could not try his tricks on me. He is just an
arrogant and rude fool."
Raghav smiles and says "Yeah, I know the
equation between you and Prem and I know his behavior too. He will not succeed
at any cost."
The next day, Sammy goes to Raghav's room and they
discuss about their business plans and the fashion show. Sammy looks at Raghav
and asks him "Have you spoken to Kalpana about your feelings for
her?"
Raghav shakes his head implying no.
Kalpana passes from there and notices Raghav talking
to Sammy about a girl.
Sammy says "Why you did not tell her? It is
already a week since we came here and you have been waiting for so many years
to meet her and have written so many letters for her and ..."
Raghav stops him and says "I will tell her when
the time is right. Right now my only focus is this fashion show."
Kalpana gets upset to know that Raghav has been
writing letters for a girl for so many years and she recollects what Sammy had
told her in the party about a girl who Raghav always talks about. She says to
herself "Today I will find out who that bi*** is. I will teach her a
lesson."
The next morning, Kalpana goes to Raghav room when he
is not there inside. She goes in and starts searching for the letters which she
heard Sammy talking about the previous day. She searches in the cupboard but
notices it is locked and then she checks the draws but does not find it. She
checks his laptop but it asks for a password. She hears footsteps approaching
the door and she gets nervous and rushes inside the bathroom.
Raghav comes in the room from the gym and takes out
his clothes and goes inside the bathroom to take a shower. Kalpana hears
someone opening the bathroom door and hides in the bath tub and closes the
curtain in a hurry. She peeps from the curtain and gets shocked to see that
Raghav has come in to take a shower.
Precap: Kalpana and Raghav start preparing for the
fashion show...
