The delegates congratulate Raghav and leave. Kalpana smiles and Raghav looks back at her saying "Have faith in yourself and then the world will have faith in you."
He leaves the room and Kalpana takes a sigh of relief
that she finally did it.
The next day, Kalpana and Raghav reach the site.
The clients reach the place and Raghav starts
discussing with them regarding the plan they had decided the previous day.
Kalpana feels restless as she has been standing in
the sun for a long time.
Raghav keeps interacting with the delegates and does
not notice Kalpana's discomfort. He suddenly hears some noise and notices
Kalpana lying unconscious on the ground.
He rushes towards her and tries to wake her up.
One of the delegates goes and brings water and gives
it to Raghav.
He thanks them and starts sprinkling the water
droplets on her face.
She wakes up but feels too weak to get up. Raghav
holds her by the waist and picks her up.
Kalpana opens her eyes slowly and notices herself in
Raghav's arms but since she is semi-conscious, she is unable to say anything or
react.
After they reach the hotel, she opens her eyes and
notices herself in her room.
She finds Raghav besides her talking to the doctor
who says "Now she is fine. Her blood pressure was slow and so she fell
unconscious. Give her some glucose water and she'll be OK soon."
Raghav thanks the doctor, pays him and turns towards
Kalpana who was trying to get up.
Raghav tries to hold her hand and she stops him. “You
need to take rest Kalpana. You’re quite weak now and the Doctor has told that
your blood pressure is quite low. Take rest for some time and I’ll send some
juice for you.
Kalpana says firmly "I am fine and don’t want to
eat or drink anything."
Kalpana hears her phone ringing and picks up the
call. She hears the call and looks angrily at Raghav.
Raghav says "I'll order for glucose water."
Kalpana says hastily "No need to order anything.
I said I am fine. No need of showing any false concern Mr. Raghav Singhania. I
am just an employee. Now I just need some rest so please leave the room
Sir."
Raghav says "What's wrong with you? You need to
drink some juice to get better. Why are you so rude?"
Kalpana gets up and looks at him with hatred and
disgust in her eyes. She says "What's wrong with me? I am not wrong but
you are Mr. Raghav Singhania. My aunt told me what you did to our house. You
broke it down to build a hotel of yours. That house where I have spent 23 years
in and lived my most beautiful moments with my family is now in ruins. How
could you do this? My dad spent his whole life in building a home for us and
you.... I just hate you Mr. Raghav Singhania. Leave the room now."
Raghav looks down and leaves the room without
uttering a word and Kalpana breaks down on the ground.
She cries cursing herself that why she had to ever
like a person like Raghav.
Her house is gone and Payal said that Sahil was
completely shattered on hearing this news.
She wanted to go home the same day but she had to
remain there due to the contract.
In the evening, Kalpana calls up Payal and Payal says
that Sahil is fine and is taking rest at home. This news makes her calm down.
The next day, Raghav decides to attend the meeting
alone and informs Kalpana that he has ordered for a car who would reach her to
Mumbai.
Raghav starts his meeting and hears a knock at the
door. The peon opens the door and Kalpana walks in with a file in her hand.
Raghav says "Kalpana, you're here? You had to
leave for Mumbai?"
Kalpana replies "Sir, I did not leave. I too
want to attend this meeting as it will help me in preparing the software
program."
The meeting gets over and Raghav tells Kalpana that
next morning, they will be leaving for Mumbai.
In the night, Kalpana keeps rolling from one side to
another but does not get sleep.
She decides to go in the balcony and breathe some
fresh air.
She stares at the moon and stars and then looks at
the garden area of the hotel. She notices Raghav walking alone barefooted on
the grass. He keeps walking from one side to another.
Raghav tells himself "Today is the same day
Kalpana confessed her love for me and we both shared those lovely moments.
Today's valentines' day. Time also passes so soon. 5 years have passed and our
relationship which was so strong earlier has come to this stage where she hates
me and is working for me. I am nobody except a boss for her."
The next day, Kalpana and Raghav enter the car and
drive off to Mumbai.
On the way, Raghav's car gets punctured and Kalpana
asks him the problem.
He says "The Tire is punctured. I'll go to
search a mechanic and till then, you don't get off the car. Stay here while I
be back soon. You need…"
Kalpana cuts him saying “I am fine and don’t need
anything but please come back before it gets dark as it’s already late now.”
Raghav smiles and says “I know that you get scared of
darkness. Don’t worry. I’ll try to come back as soon as possible.”
Kalpana says “I don’t get scared of darkness anymore.
Life and circumstances have made me face the worst and now nothing affects me.
”
Raghav’s heart aches on hearing this as he knows that
he is the reason of bringing darkness in her life.
