Next day,
Kalpana is waiting for the bus in bus stop. A car stops in-front of her. Kalpana sees Rahul in the car.
Rahul : Kalpana, sit in the car, I will drop u.
Kalpana : No, its ok. I will go by bus.
Rahul : Our destination is same.so, we can travel together.Please come.
Kalpana sits in Rahul's car.
Rahul teasingly : Thanks mam for giving me the privilege to drop you.
Kalpana : I should thank u for giving me the lift.
Raghav have reached office early and is waiting for kalpana impatiently. Kalpana and Rahul enter the office together. They are laughing as Rahul shared some joke. Raghav loses her cool seeing them together.
He sternly informs Rahul that his cabin is ready and calls peon to show him the cabin.
Then he turns to Kalpana : come to my cabin Kalpana.
Kalpana and Raghav enter into his cabin.
Raghav : What are u doing with Rahul?
Kalpana is shocked to hear this from Raghav : What do you mean by that ? He just gave me lift.
Raghav : your home does not come in the way from his residence to office. what is he doing at your home.
Kalpana gets angry and retorts : I am not answerable to you.
Raghav holds her arm in anger : You are Kalpi . don't forget that we are married.
Kalpana : I have not considered that drama as marriage. U have no right to ask me questions.Now leave my hand.
Raghav tightens his grip on her arm and pulls her closer .
Kalpana struggles to free herself and raghav enjoys this closeness and her discomfort.
Raghav with his signature smirk : are u afraid that if u stay close to me, ur love will come to the fore.
Kalpana : I don't love u. you just know how to hurt me.
Raghav is hurt by her words. She is right that he had hurt her but it is also the truth that he loves her madly. He had done mistakes but today she is doing a mistake leaving him.
Raghav : just see in my eyes and say u don't love me.
Kalpana looks into her eyes and before she can say something, she loses her consciousness and falls on Raghav.
Raghav holds her firmly in his arms and places her on the sofa.
He gets worried and calls the doctor.
Doctor checks Kalpana and informs Raghav that she is weak as she had just recovered. She needs some rest and she will be alright.
Kalpana gains consciousness and see Raghav is sitting infront of her.
Raghav : How are u feeling Kalpi?
Kalpna : better. I have to complete my work.
Saying so, she stands up and Raghav holds her hand.
Kalpana in anger: How many time I have to say u that don't touch me.
Raghav : Kalpana, I will drop u home and you will take rest.
Kalpana : U can't decide what should I do. I have already told u that I am accustomed to it.It is just weakness.
Raghav : I will decide Kalpana. You may be accustomed to it but I can't see u in pain. U got hurt but I feel the pain.
Kalpana does not dare to look at him. his pain is evident from his sound.
Kalpana: I can take care of myself. I am going home. now you are happy.
Raghav : Happy. so lets go.
Kalpana : I said that I can go my own.
Raghav : Not again, Kalpana.
Saying so, he holds her hand and walks toward his car.
Kalpana does not utter a single word to avoid a scene infront of whole office.
She is all aware of this stubborn and arrogant Raghav. It is waste to argue with him. The more she will argue, more he will enjoy.
Rahul sees them leaving the office holding hand.
Rahul self thinks : wah! This is getting really interesting. I am gonna enjoy this.
Rahul calls Raghav : Hello Mr. Singhania, we have a meeting and u are not in ur cabin.
Raghav : Mr.Grewal , I will be late for the meeting.
Rahul : I don't like delays.I like to work with punctual people.
Raghav : I have some personal urgency. I will be back in half an hour.
Rahul : Personal urgency like dropping ur assistant supervisor at her home.
Raghav gets angry : Mr. Garewal I don't like people who are interested in my personal life. I keep my professional and personal life apart. I hope u will remember it.
Raghav cuts the phone in anger.
Kalpana gets worried seeing raghav in angry mood.
Kalpana : What happened.
Raghav : Nothing, just stay away from Mr. Grewal.
Kalpana gets angry
She retorts : why should I ? I just want to stay away from one person i.e. u.
