It started raining heavily and there was lightning
and thunder. On hearing the noise, Kalpana broke the kiss and looked at Raghav
with her smile on her face.
He kissed her forehead, cheeks, eyes and said "I
did not know how to express my feelings to you and I did not know whether you
would accept me or not. I ..."
Kalpana placed her hands on his lips and said "I
don't want to hear anything Raghav. I just want to live this moment and feel
myself in your arms. I love you."
She hugged him.
After sometime, they had food where Kalpana fed
Raghav and he did the same and after that she left his room.
FLASHBACK ENDS
***
Kalpana asks her father if she can start working as
she always wanted to be independent in life.
Sahil first hesitates to send his daughter out but
when he notices the spark and hope in his daughter's eyes he asks her to find
an office nearby their house so that Kalpana has not to travel a lot.
After few hours, Kalpana buys a newspaper from a
nearby shop and sits on a bench in the chawl and starts marking all the job
opportunities that match her profile.
She asks Sahil for money and then halts a rickshaw
and reaches the first office.
She gives the interview but they tell her that they
need at least 6 months’ work experience and reject her as she is a Fresher.
She leaves the office feeling low because in her very
first interview only she had to face rejection.
She goes to the next office and they ask her to leave
her bio data there saying that they will contact her later.
As Kalpana forgets to carry her resume, she writes
down her profile on a piece of paper and submits the same.
Kalpana then goes to the third and last office she
had decided to visit and they tell her that she is over qualified for the job
as she has done Masters while they only require fresh graduates.
Kalpana does not get a rickshaw in the evening and
decides to walk it out as the chawl is nearby.
She reaches home disappointed and Payal notices the
sadness and disappointment in Kalpana's eyes and so decides to cheer her up.
Payal gives her water saying "Don't worry
Kalpana. You know when I was young, I also decided to work as a model and gave
so many auditions. I was so beautiful and sexy but still I never got a call
again from any coordinator as may be they found me too gorgeous for the role.
Their bad luck else I would have in minutes defeated Katrina Kaif and Deepika
Padukone. I am slimmer than them and more beautiful than all these
newcomers."
Kalpana starts laughing hearing this and Payal says
"This is what I wanted to see on you face Kalpana. My cute baby's smile.
Now cheer up and don't take tension about these jobs. Your dad and Prem bro are
there to handle this." She hugs her back.
Prem goes to the site where he had met the manager of
Virag industries and finds that the office no longer exists there. He inquires
with the people in the neighborhood and they tell him that last month this
place was leased by a man named "Rohan Diwan" but he left the place
long back.
Sammy who has been watching Prem's every move informs
Raghav that Prem is trying to find out about Rohan.
Raghav says "Prem will never get to know about
Rohan who never existed. The man who I had hired as Rohan had a false identity
and he has left for abroad long back and will never return to India. How Prem
tricked me and my family years back, the same thing is happening with him
today. That time I had no money to get justice and today he does not have any
money. History repeats itself Mr. Prem Kapoor. What you shall sow, so shall you
reap."
The next morning, Kalpana hears her phone ringing.
She picks it up and feels excited to know that the
office where she had left her resume had called her up for a final interview.
She gets ready and takes blessings of Sahil and Payal
and leaves for the interview.
Kalpana reaches the office and the receptionist tells
her to go to the thirteenth floor by the lift on the right hand side.
Kalpana is all excited for the interview and holding
her file in her hand, she goes near the temple on the ground floor and prays to
Bappa's idol saying "Please Bappa, please bless me and give me this job.
You know how much I need this job and my family needs money. Please Bappa, help
me and let everything go well in my interview."
She eats the prasad from the plate near the idol and
leaves to enter the lift.
As she goes up, her heart starts beating fast. She
enters the cabin and the peon tells her to sit down. Sammy enters the room and
sits on the chair in front of Kalpana.
He asks her for her bio data and crosses his feet and
says "Nice biodata. So Miss Kalpana Kapoor, why do you want this
job?"
Kalpana answers "I want to support my family and
want to be independent in life. I just..."
Sammy interrupts her and says "That's all fine
Miss Kalpana. I want to know if you are hardworking and passionate about your
work. This job would require you to put in a lot of effort and may be you will
need to stay late in office and even accompany your boss on trips. Are you
ready for this?"
Kalpana thinks for some time but then agrees for the
same.
Sammy calls the receptionist and asks for the
contract papers.
He asks Kalpana to sign the papers which mention that
the employee cannot leave the office before a year else they will need to pay 3
lacs to the company as a compensation.
The salary mentioned was Rs. 15,000 per month and the
designation was of a Junior Software Developer.
Kalpana signs the papers without any hesitation and
Sammy shakes her hand welcoming her to RS industries which leaves Kalpana in a
shock as she never knew that the company named Singhania IT firm was owned by
RS industries.
Precap: Kalpana introduces Raghav to Sahil Kapoor for
the first time...
