During the night, Prem starts holding his stomach
with pain and grumbles "Because of that chawl wala, I have to sleep here
and even don't have food."
Kalpana says "Prem, if you want I'll ask for
food from the neighbors and come."
Prem says angrily "Just sit here. No need of
going anywhere else another problem will be created and already because of you,
we have faced so many problems."
Sahil tells Prem to stop it and goes to sleep.
Kalpana feels bad with the taunts Prem keeps giving her and weeps all night
saying to herself "It's all because of me that my family has to face so
many problems today. Prem is right and I am only responsible for all
this."
These mosquitoes keep irritating Prem all night and
he keeps rolling from one place to another as he feels uncomfortable sleeping
on the ground.
The next morning, Sahil asks Payal to get water from
the tanker down but she refuses saying that the people there are all rushing
and hitting each other to fill water.
Kalpana agrees to go down and fill water. She takes a
bucket in her hand and stands in the huge line.
The tanker comes and all the woman start pushing each
other and Kalpana, not being used to all this tries to go in front but she is
pushed backwards and with the force of the ladies, she falls to the ground and
gets scratches on her hand.
Raghav noticing this from far tries to go and help
her but he stops himself when he sees Payal and Sahil approaching her and
lifting her up and says to himself "I am sorry Kalpana. Because of me you
have to face all this. I did not want to hurt you and can never dream to do so
but my revenge has made me to keep my love aside. I am really very sorry."
He hits his hand on the car and gets inside in anger and leaves from there thinking about the day when Kalpana first proposed to him.
Flashback starts…
Kalpana decided to buy clothes for Raghav so that he
could attend the Valentine's Day party and she forced him to come with her to
the store saying that it would be an appreciation gift for him as he taught her
Mechanics and he could not refuse it.
They both went to a store and Raghav was reluctant to
try anything. Kalpana chose three shirts for Raghav and caught his hand and
took him to the trial room. After 15 minutes, Kalpana knocked the door and
asked Raghav to show him how does the clothes look on him but he did not
answer. She knocked the door many times and he come out after some time saying
he did not like any of the shirts. Kalpana said "Means you did not like my
choice? They are so good. Let me see how they look on you. Try one at a time
and show me."
Raghav said "No I did not mean that but these
shirts are quite expensive and if I make them dirty or they tear by mistake
then...."
Kalpana interrupted him and said "No, you don't worry about the clothes tearing and all and you did not even try them. Wait, come inside and try them in front of me."
Raghav felt shy with Kalpana's words but could not
refuse her as she kept insisting.
Kalpana found the reluctance in Raghav's eyes and
called him a school kid in her mind.
She told him to remove his shirt and promised him
that she would close her eyes while he was changing.
When he was done, she opened his eyes and she said
"The shirt looks awesome on you Raghav. It fits you perfectly."
Kalpana said in her mind "But you need to go for
a makeover Raghav and wear lenses instead of these spectacles." While she
was checking the fitting of his shirt Raghav was drooling over her thinking
"She is so kind and so beautiful. I wish I could tell her how I feel for
her. No Raghav, don't even think of anything. Where she is and where you are?
She has been leading a luxurious life and you are from a chawl and you can
never buy anything for her and give her the happiness she deserves. Her brother
and father will never accept you and nor she will."
Kalpana noticed Raghav's embarrassment and that his eyes were watching her all the time.
After shopping for Raghav's clothes, Kalpana took
Raghav to an optical store and got him to wear lenses and also bought him shoes
from the shoe store.
Finally she took him to a men’s parlor and forced
Raghav to go for a makeover which he was reluctant to do at first but then gave
up to Kalpana's wish.
Raghav came out from the parlor and Kalpana said to
herself "He looks Wow! So handsome, well built, dashing and what intensity
in his eyes. Those spectacles were hiding his real features. How come this guy
did not have any girlfriend till today? Hmm... May be I am lucky to be his
first or say at least first friend."
