Part 2
Gopi was concentrating on the file she was reading when Anju knocked and came in.
Gopi: Haan bolo Anju.
Anju: Yeh kya angel? Tum kaam kar rahi ho?
Hearing this question Gopi looked up and said "Anju teri tabyat to theek hai na? Main office main kaam nahi karungi to kya basketball kheloungi?" Saying this she shook her head and went back to reading her file. Anju smiled at her and said "Angel time kya hua hai?" And Gopi replied without moving her eyes from the file "kyon? Tumhari ghari kho gayi hai kya jo tum mujhse time pooch rahi ho?"
Anju: No angel, meri ghari to mere paas hi hai aur is waqt meri ghari mein 4p.m baje hain.
Gopi's head snapped up and she stared wide eyed at Anju. "Kya???!!! It's already 4? We have to pick the girls up at 4.30pm! Acha hua tum ne mujhe yaad dila diya Anju." Saying so she packed her things and left the office with Anju and they met Sameer on the way and all three went to get the girls.
They picked the girls up and went to the shopping plaza. Gopi made sure to buy nice clothes and accessories for everyone else first then they went to a designer boutique where only the rich and famous people shopped to buy the girls' clothes. Gopi never fussed about her clothes and accessories as she did not mind wearing something simple from a small shop but her sisters were very fussy about their clothes and stuff. They were not arrogant or rude but they always insisted on wearing designer clothes, it was the only thing they never compromised with and Gopi loved them so much that she bought them anything they wanted. Seeing Gopi entering the shop Reema Bajaj the owner of the boutique and famous designer went to welcome all of them in.
Reema: Hello angel, how are you? It's such a pleasure seeing you here. How may I help you today?
Gopi: Hi Reema, I'm fine thank you. Raj bhai is getting engaged on Sunday, bas ussi ki shopping karne aye hain.
Reema: please come, main aap sab ko apni latest collection dikhati houn. You'll be the first ones to see it.
The girls selected everything they wanted and Gopi bought an outfit complete with matching jewellery for Anju as well. They had a blast while Sameer was struggling with all the shopping bags and cursing himself for trying to be smart with these girls.
They were exhausted by the time they got home. The whole family was in the living room along with their dad's distant cousin (their bua) and her son Tarun who worked for SGC as well. He believes in recommendations rather than merit and that's how he got this job, just because his mom recommended him to Gopi's dad. Gopi could not say anything as her dad told her to employ Tarun, if her bua would have asked her she would have refused her. Tarun was everything that Gopi hated in a man and she always treated him professionally. She never spoke to him outside of work. All the Singhania siblings disliked Tarun but they tolerated him because they did not want to disrespect their family values.
Gopi stopped in her tracks as soon as she saw Tarun and his mum and so did her sisters, Sameer and Anju. As soon as Sakshi saw the kids she stood up and went up to them.
Sakshi: Acha hua tum logon ne aur der nahi ki beta, hum khane ke lie wait kar rahe the.
Bua: Are Gopi beta agae tum log? Hum kab se tumhara wait kar rahe the.
Ria mumbled "yeh hum nahi hain, aapko hamara bhoot dikh raha he" and the others had a hard time to stop themselves from laughing.
Bua: Kuch kaha beta? (She didn't hear anything as she was still sitting on the sofa which was far from the door)
Sakshi who heard Ria said: "nahi didi kissi ne kuch nahi kaha" and giving a stern look at Ria said "tum log fresh ho kar khane ke lie ajao"
Gopi: Ji mama hum abhi ateh hain
They all greeted their bua and tarun and went to their respective rooms to freshen up then joined the whole family on the dining table Gopi noticed that Raj bhai and Rahul bhai made sure tarun sat between them so that he does not get to sit near her and spoil her diner. After diner they all went and sat down in the living room and Gopi called all the servants and started giving them their clothes for the function. Everyone was very happy with this gesture of Gopi's except for bua and tarun.
Bua: Tum ne Anjali ke lie kuch nahi kharida beta? Akhir woh bhi to tumhari naukar hi hai.
Everyone was angry when they heard what bua said and Rahul's blood was boiling. He so wanted to strangle bua there and then seeing tears in anju's eyes. All he knew was that he loved anju and he hated anyone who tried to hurt her. Gopi went and hugged anju from the side and said "hum ne sirf hamare family members ke liye shopping ki hain bua ji strangers aur servants ke liye nahi. Aur anju humare pariwaar ka ek ehem hissa hai to zahir si baat hain ke hum us ke liye bhi shopping karenge. Ek aur baat kehna chahoungi bua ji, humare ghar mein koi bhi naukar ya malik nahi hai, yeh sab hamare naukar nahi hain, they are our family members. Aap dobara aisi baat kehna to door sochna bhi mat."
Everyone present in the room was stunned as they had never seen Gopi this angry before. Since bua was always jealous that Gopi became the CEO of SGC while her son was a normal employee she could not control herself aur dil ki baat zubaan pe agai.
Bua: Suna tumne dhanraj tumhari yeh Gopi mujhse kaisi baat kar rahi hai? Dekh lia beti ko CEO banane ka natija? Agar tumhare bete CEO ki post sambhalne ke kabil nahi the mera beta to tha. Apni beti ko itni bari position dedi aur mere bete ko ek mamuli employee ki jagah di tumne. Ab tumhari yehi beti tumhare sar par naach rahi hai.
Raj: That's enough bua ji. Aap ka beta agar iss laek hota to in do salon mein wo apni mehnat aur lagan se hamari tarha company ka managing director ban gaya hota.
Tarun: Oh stop it Raj. All of you occupy such high posts and get these huge pay checks only because you are dhanraj singhania's children. You were all born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Everything was given to you guys, you did not earn any of it. Yeah rutba, paisa, position yeh sab sirf iss lie kyunki tum log iss ghar ke bete ke bache ho iss lie nahi because you deserve any of this.
Rahul: Tum bohot zyada bol rahe ho tarun. Yeh mat bhoolo ke tum kis ke ghar mein khare ho aur kis se baat kar rahe ho.
Tarun: Yehi to main keh raha houn Rahul. Kya tumhari angel yeh sabit kar sakti hai that she can get a job in another country and in a company where nobody knows her? I challenge you to find a job in a different country and where nobody knows you Gopi aur tumhe wahan 3 mahine ke lie kaam karna hai as a mamuli employee. And when you come back as a failure tumhare jaan se pyare papa ko sab ke saamne mujhse maafi maangi hogi and accept that he made a mistake by making you the CEO of SGC.
Everyone was shocked hearing this challenge which was thrown at Gopi and they also knew that she would never back down from one. Gopi could do anything for her family's honour, yeh to kuch bhi nahi tha. She looked at tarun confidently in the eyes and replied calmly
Gopi: Main ek anjaan desh aur ek aisi company main ek normal employee ki tarah kaam karoongi for 3 months jahan I'll be given a job based on my merits and not on any recommendation. I'll be back after 3 months with a reference letter from my employer aur tum sab ke saamne woh letter parhoge aur papa ke per pakar ke unse maafi bhi mango ge aur us ke baad tum apni ma ko le kar yahan se dafa ho jao ge aur zindagi bhar humein apna manhoos chera nahi dikao ge.
Dhanraj: Sun lia tum dono ne angel ka jawab? Now get out of here aur humein apna chera 3 mahine ke baad hi dikana. Aur haan tarun tum doosri job dhoondna shuru kar do kyuki meri angel jeet kar hi aegi.
With that said dhanraj ordered the bodyguards to throw saap and sapola out and everyone rushed to Gopi's side and gave her a bear hug. They knew that she would be gone for 3 whole months the next morning aur woh kameab ho kar hi wapas lautegi afterall she also has the same Royal blood flowing in her veins as them. Yeh baat alag hai ke us ka khoon kuch zyada hi garam hota hai.
Anju with hot tears flowing from her eyes: I'm really sorry angel. Yeh sab meri waja se hua hai. Na tum mujhe defend karti aur na hi yeh sab hota
Sakshi wiped anju's tears and said: Nahi beta aisa nahi kehte. Angel ne bilkul theek kiya. Aur tum to hamari family ka hissa ho, angel ki best friend aur iss ghar ki hone wali bahu
Both Rahul and Anju were shocked to hear this and everyone burst out laughing looking at both their faces.
Sameer: Main ne kaha tha na bhai, main chorunga nahi aapko. Aap ne mujhe in larkiyon ke saath shopping bags uthane ke lie bhej dia tha na?
Rahul: Sameer ke bache bara smart banta hai ab main tum ko nahi chorunga
Saying so rahul started chasing sameer around the house and everyone was laughing at both of them. They were running around the living room and sameer kept throwing stuff at rahul to slow him down and he tripped and fell down while doing so and rahul fell on top of him. Gopi went up to both of them and helped them up.
Sameer: Oww bhai kitne mote hogae ho. Aap dieting kyun nahi karte?
Gopi: Sameer ab bas bhi karo. Kyun sata rahe ho bhai ko? Ab chalo sab sone chalo humein kal jaldi uthna hai. Anju tum please book the first available flight to London for me.
Raj: Tum London jaogi angel? Wahan akeli kaise rahogi? Aisa karte hain main bhi tumhare saath chalta hoon. Hum saath rahenge aur tum jahan chaho job kar lena.
Gopi: No bhai. Agar app mein se koi bhi mere saath raha to yeh saabit ho jaega ke main apne aap kuch nahi kar sakti. Agar aap chaho to aap mujhe London tak drop karne a sakte ho lekin main apke saath nahi rahoungi, I'll live like a working class person.
Raj: Theek hai angel ab tumhari jeet aur meri engagement ki party ek saath 3 mahine baad hi hogi. Main Simran se baat karlunga, you don't worry and now go get some sleep bacha. Good night
Gopi hugged Raj: Good night bhai and please don't worry main jeet kar hi wapas aungi. Chal anju aaj tu mere kamre main soegi.
Gopi and anju woke up very early the next day and were surprised to see the whole house awake. They performed their prayers and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Gopi and anju prepared everyone's favourite dishes and Sakshi and the other ladies of the house prepared Gopi's favourite dishes. They set the table after everything was ready and called everyone for breakfast.
Dhanraj: Tumne packing karli angel? Aur flight kitne baje ki hai?
Gopi: Ji papa humne kal raat ko hi packing karli thi aur flight 1pm ko hain. I have to start getting ready right after breakfast. Aur humein airport chorne koi bhi nahi aega.
Dhanraj: Lekin beta tum teen mahino ke lie ja rahi ho aur hum tumhein airport chorne bhi na aein?
Gopi: Please papa I want to prove that I'm strong enough to do this on my own. Aur bhai to mujhe chorne ja hi rahe hain na? Main wahan pohonchte hi aap ko phone karungi. I promise papa.
Dhanraj: Ok bacha jaisa tum chaho. Tum janti ho na hum apni angel ko harte hue nahi dekh sakte and I'm sure tum jeet kar hi wapas aogi.
Gopi and Raj went to get ready after breakfast and left for the airport after a long hugging session. They then boarded the flight to London where Gopi's destiny was waiting for her.
