Kalpi was sitting in her new office. She is working as an Assistant Manager in NM Constructions. She still remembered the day, when she had given this interview.
It was the day she had lost the most important thing in her life, her father's love. It was the day her father had found out about her secret marriage to Raghav. It was the day when even the skies had cried for her. It was the day she had become a walking talking corpse. She had taken a decision, that she would forget everything that had happened in her life, and move on. She knew she loved her parents and she loved Raghav, but she realized that no one really loved her. It was that day that she finally realized that her mom would never really love her, and would always use her as a tool to fulfill her ambitions. Her father would only love her as long as she was a perfect daughter who always tried to please him . He would never forgive her if she followed any of her dreams which he disapproved of. And finally Raghav, her one true love, who said he could not live without her was still with Pakhi. He might not look to be in love with Pakhi, but seeing them together did not feel as if he was taking any kind of revenge on her. She realized that it was she who had lost everything in this game of love and she did not want to be a loser anymore. Now she wanted to be successful for herself, not for her Aai or Baba. She realized that to be successful she had to become less emotional, less sensitive and more practical. She had watched Raghav with his clients as well as with his detractors and learnt a lot from him. She was going to win at all costs, no longer was anyone going to walk all over her and take her for granted.
The CEO of NM Constructions was Mr.Naresh Malhotra , who was the scion of one of the biggest industrial houses in India. He had many interests, but Construction was always his first love as it was where he had started. The first day she had met him, it was in a meeting and she had been struck by the aura he had exuded. He was about 60 years of age, but his energy was of a much younger man. During the meeting she had put across certain points across with confidence and he had taken notice. After the meeting he had taken time to talk to her and appreciate her and she had been overwhelmed. After that he had asked her boss to put her on a new project which was really complicated but very interesting. She really loved working on that project and felt fulfilled and happy only when she was working.
She did not realize, but she had stopped smiling and laughing. She worked late into the night and rarely spoke to her parents at home. Her Dada had moved to Pune where he had been put in charge of a new mobile shop. Her parents seemed to be happy to see her working hard, but never seemed to ask her about her feelings.
Raghav had tried calling her many times, but never picked up his phone call. Ultimately she just changed her number, her last link to her old life. Only her parents and her new colleagues knew her new number.
She had made no friends in her office. She talked to them regarding work-related stuff, but none of them knew her personally or intimately. They all saw her working hard and thought she was a workaholic with no life, which was true.
Suddenly she was broken out of her reverie; her boss had come to her desk and informed her that she had been called to the CEO's cabin. She was nervous as hell and she felt her hands shaking as she knocked on his cabin. She walked in and saw a huge welcoming sign on Naresh sir's face. He said "Sit Kalpana". She sat down at the edge of her seat. "I am really impressed by the project report you did. You made so many relevant points which would have escaped many senior people". Kalpana just stammered "Thank you, sir". He gave her a letter. Kalpi's happiness knew no bounds, when she saw she had been promoted to a manager.
