Kalpana wakes up early in the morning and goes to temple. She is praying God to give her strength to face everything and to fulfill her aai's dream. she comes home, gets ready and leaves for the office. Dev is standing behind his car infront of chawl.
Dev : Pal, heer's marriage is fixed . Engagement and sangeet is on coming Monday and Marriage is on Tuesday.
Kalpana sighed breath of relief. She was afraid that her friendship may ruin Heer's life.
Dev : Mr. Raghav singhania is getting married to Miss Pakhi kapoor on same day
But the very next words of Dev have pierced her heart.
Dev is happily blabbering about wedding preperation but Kalpana can sense his sorrow. other hand, Dev had already seen aglimpse of pain in her eyes when he mentioned the marriage of Raghav and Pakhi.But they never forced each other to share their feelings. They always allow each other ample of time to come out with their feelings. It is the beauty of their relationship. They are best buddies.
Dev drops Kalpana at office and tells her that he will pick her at evening. Kalpana waves goodbye to Dev and enters office. Sammy and Raghav looks at them. sammy can see Raghav is hurt and angry. sammy always liked Kalpana.He always believed this girl can bring best out of his friend. BUt is this the same Kalpana who loves Raghav.Or she was just pretending it.He knows
Raghav is hurting Kalpana but he also knows that Raghav loves her madly. Sammy dialed heer's No and invites her for lunch. He wants to know the relation between Dev and Kalpana.Otherhand Raghav is pacing restlessly in his cabin. He just can't believe he loves this two timing girl.
In the Restaurant, sammy and heer are having their lunch. Heer is bubbly and chirpy unlike kalpana. sammy had fallen in love with her for her innocence. she is like a child, so full of life. he heard about pal from her mouth many times but he could not imagine pal is kalpana. Sammy is adoring Heer who is blabbering. He casually asks Heer is kalpana dev's girlfriend.
Heer started laughing uncontrobally : oh sam, Bhai and Pal are boyfriend-girfriend. oh god it's so funny. Even jealous suhana will laugh on this joke.
Sammy: who is Suhana.
Heer : Bhai's girlfriend. She is the kind of girl who doubts every girl who talks with bhai but she will laugh on ur joke.
Suddenly Heer gets serious : Sam they are best buddies. They share a very beautiful friendship. they are related by their loneliness, their sorrow.
Sam looked at Heer . she is crying : Sam, U know bhai always wants to keep me away from every pain but he had faced it alone and then pal came in our life. She was as lonely as my brother in boarding school. she was so caring that we became friends. Bhai and Pal share a special bond. U know why we call her Pal. it means moment. she is a beautiful moment of our life.
Sammy is feeling ashamed of his thinking. He is a mordern 21st century guy but can't accept a guy and a girl as best friends. His respect for Kalpi has increased. But he is not gonna reveal this to Raghav, Raghav should also learn how much it pains when u see ur love with someone else.
He hugs Heer.
The week has passed and it was quite eventful . on one hand Kalpana was helping aaji and Dev for Heer's marriage preparation and other hand, she was sending Mr. Singhaniya's
love gifts to his would be bride Pakhi. Raghav had forced her to order, pack and send every gift and Kalpana had wonderfully done her job..She was hurt but she would not let Raghav know this. once or twice she had even suggested Raghav to write personalized note for Pakhi on behalf of him.
