19:35
Thahaan's room
Thapki: Kya? Bihaan ye kya khe rahe ho? Abhi abhi to tum ghar aaye ho. Ek din bhi nahi hua aur tum kaam karne ke bare mein khe rahe ho.
(What? What are you saying? You just returned home. It has been less than one day since you returned and you are talking about work already.)
Bihaan: Tum humain kaam karne se rok rahe ho? (You are stopping me from working.)
Thapki: Haan. Bihaan, tumhe goli lagi thi. Itni uchayi se gire bhi. Ye koi mamuli si chot nahi hai jo ek do din mein theek ho jayega. Tum kaam karne ke bare mein kaise soch sakte ho? (Yes. Bihaan you were shot. You fell from such a height. It's not a normal injury that will heal in one or two days. How can you think about working?)
Bihaan: Thapki, hum kisi ke saath larne toh nahi jaa rahe hai. Aur tum humare saath hogi. (Thapki, I'm not going to fight someone. And you will be with me.)
Thapki: Bihaan...
Bihaan: Dekho Thapki, kal hum sirf Mr. Kapoor se milege. Thodi na kal hi hum kaam shuru karegein. Aur humne bhai se keh diya hai ki hum ye kaam sambalenge. (Look Thapki, tomorrow we will just meet Mr.Kapoor. It's now like from tomorrow itself we will start working. And I had told Dhruv that I will take care of this.)
Thapki: Meri ek sharth hai. (I have a condition.)
Bihaan: Bolo. (Say it.)
Thapki: Agar tumhe ye kaam pasand hai toh kabhi haar nahi maanoge, chahe jo ho. (If you like this work, you will never accept defeat, whatever happens.)
Bihaan: Hum vaada karte hai ki hum jeet ke dikhayege.(I promise I'll prove to be a winner.)
20:00PN
The family was having dinner. Dhruv told them about Bihaan's decision.
Dadi: Kuch dinon pehle to uska accident hua tha. Kuch din aur ruk jaao. (It has only been some days since he met an accident. Wait for some days more.)
(That is what they told Dadi about Bihaan's wounds.)
Bihaan: Arey, sab hume rok kyun rahe hai? (Why is everyone not allowing me to work?)
Next day
8:00
Thahaan's room
Bihaan wore a long-sleeve blue shirt and black trousers. Thapki adjusted his tie. Then they tried to comb their hair but they ended up fighting to get the mirror for themselves as if both could not use it at the same time. Their bickering woke Bani and Tina who were sleeping in the room itself.
Bani(mumbling): Sone dijiye na. (Let us sleep.)
Thapki and Bihaan realized that they were not alone in the room. Both thought of last night. The two girls had taken possession of the bed since Thapki returned home. Last night the parents had to shift to their room. It turned out to be a bad experience because the bed was too small for both of them. The teddies on the bed were placed elsewhere and yet they were not comfortable here. They ended up going to the kitchen to drink some milk. It was already midnight and by then no one was awake except them. Only whispers could be heard. The milk was boiling and the two were talking in low voices and teasing each other.
(Present time)
Dhruv: Taiyaar ho gaye? (Are you ready?)
This brought them back to present.
Bihaan: Bas do minute. (Just two minutes.)
Dhruv: Main neeche intezaar karta hoon. (I'll wait downstairs.)
9:00
Dhruv's channel office
This is where the meeting between Mr Kapoor, Bihaan and Thapki. Dhruv volunteered to join the meeting once Mr. Kapoor would be there and left a nervous Bihaan and Thapki there.
9:45
Mr. Kapoor was fifteen minutes late. Bihaan took another sip of water. He had already drunk four glasses of water. He then went to the toilet. When he came back Dhruv was already there and was calling someone.
2 minutes later
Dhruv: Panch minutes mein vo aagayega. (He will be here in five minutes.)
10 Minutes later
Mr. Kapoor finally came. However, he showed no interest in the project that he was previously very interested in. He was uncertain that Bihaan and Thapki could manage the business. Due to his doubts, he wanted to talk to Dhruv in private. So, Dhruv took him to his cabin.
Dhruv's cabin
Mr Kapoor: Dhruv, ye kya hai? Mujhe nahi lagta hai ki ye dono kuch kar payege. (Dhruv, what is this? I don't think these two can do anything.)
Dhruv: Aisi baat nahi hai. Mujhe pura vishwas hai ki weh ye business sambhal payenge. (It's not true. I am confident that they will be able to manage the business.)
Mr. Kapoor: Mujhe pata hai ki tum ye nahi karna chahete ho par iska ye matlab nahi ki yeh business main kisi ko bhi sambhalne de doon. (I know you don't want to do this but this does not mean that I let anyone take care of this business.)
Dhruv: Unko ek mauka dijiye. (Give them one chance.)
Mr. Kapoor: Sorry Dhruv, but no. Main ye deal nahi kar sakta. Don't worry main khud unko ye baat bataunga. (Sorry Dhruv, but no. I can't go ahead with this deal. Don't worry I'll tell them this myself.)
Mr. Kapoor told Bihaan and Thapki that he no longer wants to make this deal and went away.
Mr.Kapoor's car
His phone rang. Seeing the caller's name he quickly answered the call.
Caller: Suna hai ki tumne Dhruv Pandey ki proposal reject kar diya. Pehle bhi kaha tha ki ye deal uske saath mat karo par nahi. (I heard that you have rejected Dhruv Pandey's proposal. I told you before not to make this deal with him but you did not listen.)
Mr. Kapoor: Yahi to chahete the na? Meri beti tumhare paas hi hain na? (This is what you wanted, right? My daughter is with you?)
Caller: Hain nahi thi. Abhi to mera driver usey ghar le jaa raha hai. Uss Dhruv ke kabhi koi contract nahi karna. Varna pata nahi kya hoga. (Not is but was. Right now my driver is driving her home. Don't make any more contracts with that Dhruv. Else, I don't know what will happen.)
Saying so, he cut the call.
