Sudhirji " bas raaste me hi hain, pahaunchte honge?, sab kaise hain?, Sneha kaisi hain?
Shakti " sab theek hain, bas aap aur didi ka intezaar ho raha hain, jaldi aayiye.
Sudhirji and Shipraji were elated when they got the news of Snehas marriage, but on next moment Shipraji felt sad, she said
Shipraji " bas meri Priya hi akeli reh gayi, uske sab doston ki shaadi ho gayi, Sneha jo usse 6 saal chhoti hain uski bhi shaadi hone jaa raha hain
Sudhirji " agar Priya ke bhagya me shaadi hain toh zaroor hogi aur agar nahi hain, toh tum aur main jitni bhi koshish kyun na karle
Shipraji " main janti hoon Sudhir, par yeh dil nahi manta, maa hoon na, aankhon ke samne apne beti ko yun akela dekhna, mujhse sehen nahi hota hain, saying this she sighed and Sudhirji unhe dilasa dete huye aahe bharte hain.
Priya ko jab yeh news mili she was very excited, lekin she was doubtful whether she will get leave or not, but fortunately she got 10 days leave and Sharmas came to attend the marriage.
Ab woh log pohaunch gaye the, everyone came out and greeted them, Sneha was waiting for her Priya di, she came running and hugged her tightly. Both the sisters were in warm hug and were cherishing this moment.
Shaktiji " behen se agar mil liya hain to thoda idhaar bhi nazar daliye madam hum sab khare hain saying this he stretched his arm.
Priya smiled and came to him took his blessings and hugged him back.
Shaktiji " kaisi hain meri gudiya?
Priya " achhi hoon mamaji, aap toh aajkal Jaipur aate hi nahi hain
Shaktiji " kaam ka pressure bohot zyada ho gaya hain, but I promise tere haath ke bane dal-bati-churma khane zaroor ayunga.
Yehi baatein baatein karte karte sab andar aate hain toh Priya ki maami, yaani Eva aati hain aur sabko welcome karti hain. Priya ki naani yani Shaktiji ki mataaji beythi thi aur shaadi ki preparations dekh rahi thi ke jab Priya aake apni naani ki peyr chhuti hain.
Priya " aap kaise ho naani?
Naani " achhi hoon, tu bol, tu kaisi hain? aur tera kaam kaisa chal raha hain?
Priya bolne hi jaa rahi thi ke Shipraji wahan aa gayi Sudhirji ko leke, ab dono ne hi unse blessings liye aur beyth gaye baatein karne, toh udhaar Sneha aake Priya ko le gaayi apne saath, bas ab 4 din tak yeh dono ek dusre ko chhodenge nahi.
Shaadi ki preparations full on chal raha hain, ab Priya aa gayi hain toh masti double ho gayi hain, sab kuch kar rahi hain woh, kitchen me help bhi kar rahi hain, bachhon ke saath masti bhi, Sneha ke saath baatein bhi, mehmaano ko dekh bhi rahi hain aur shaadi ke kaamon me haath bhi bata rahi hain. Sab bohot khush hain uske aane se, woh kya aayi hain maano jaise roshni aa gayi hain, kabhi kabhi music ke saath jhoom bhi uthti hain.
Evaji aur Shipraji wahi hall me beyth ke kaam kar rahi thi, toh unhone bola
Eva " didi, Priya ke liye koi mila?
Shipraji " nahi, Priya ne jaise thhan liya hain ke woh shaadi hi nahi karegi
Eva " aise kaise?, itni achhi ladki hain hamari, jis ghar me jayegi wahan raunak hi raunak ho jayega.
Shipraji " kya karoon main, ma hoon na apni bachhi ko akela dekh pana bohot mushkil hota hain aur iski umar bhi toh ho raha hain
Both stopped their discussion as Priya was coming towards them. At night on the dining table everyone was enjoying and doing masti, yeh dekh ke Shaktiji ke aankhon me aanso aa jate hain, beti kuch din baad vidaa hoke chali jayegi usse pehele unhe uski alharpan jee bharke dekhna hain.
Next day, everyone were engaged in their respective work, bas shaadi me ab sirf 3 din reh gaye hain, so everyone was busy. Aaj Priya ke mamaji ke ek khaas dost cum business colleague aa rahe hain Mumbai se, Kapoor Industries ki owner Amarnath Kapoor with his wife Krishna Kapoor along with their son Ram Kapoor.
Priya was busy in the kitchen, when Eva came and said,
Eva " beta, tere mamaji ke dost aaye huye hain, family ke saath, unn logon ke liye nashte ka intezaam kar de.
Priya " maami, sab ready hain, main lee ja rahi hoon
Eva " tu kyun?, kisi ko bol de
Priya " rehene dijiye, sab shaadi ke kaamon me busy hain, main le jati hoon, saying this she came with the tray, seeing her coming Shaktiji smiled and said,
Shaktiji " Amarnathji, yeh hain meri ek lauti bhanji Priya Sharma, Jaipur me rehti hain, wahi college me padati hain.
Priya kept the tray down and folded her hands and looked up and saw Ram Kapoor in front of her. For moments both cant believe that they are seeing each other, flashes of past came in front of her eyes, she gulped the emotion and very softly said namaaste to Kapoor seniors. She excused herself and came back from there. For the rest of the day she kept herself busy in the preparations of marriage and other work. Evaji introduced Krishna Kapoor to all and to their surprise she gelled well with the folks. She also volunteered herself in the preparations. Everyone was happy to have her.
Baton baton me Amarnath Kapoor have said that Priya did her intern in Kapoor Industry. Shaktiji was surprised to hear that but felt good. Now everyone came to know the news. Shipraji and Krishnaji started chatting with each other and both came to know that their children are happy to be single, both the mothers felt their emotions.
After the dinner was over, everyone was in their room. Priya was sharing the room with Sneha, she was fast in sleep but Priya was lying awake, it was past midnight. She cant sleep, constantly moving from one side to another, after some futile attempts, she sat on the bed, rested her head on head rest and closed her eyes, the flashback came hurriedly.
2007, Mumbai, Priya was in her final semester, being a good student and topped in her last three semester, she was gearing up for the final. Everyone is anxious about their internship which is a part of this semester. All are excited to bag the internship in prestigious Kapoor Industries, its an honor as well as a dream for every aspiring management students to grab the internship in Kapoor Industry. It opened the door to a whole new world in front of them and if the person is lucky enough then they might get the job offer in the company. Priya was no exception in this league, but she is more keen to know the practical side of her study, she believes to apply her theory in practice and that can be done best when she get to learn and work with good team, Kapoor Industries offer the best in this. Isi liye Priya jee jaan se mehnaat kar rahi hain to bag the internship in KI.
This semester is divided into two halves, first internal assessment and the second is internship, whoever get the highest marks in this assessment will get to bag the internship in KI. Aaj internal assessment ki result nikalne wali hain. Subaah se Priya bohot tensed hain, though she has given her best still she was nervous. Priya shares a flat with another girl whose name is Sabina. She works in a IT company and is 7 years older to her. When Priya shifted o Mumbai for her Masters she was looking for PG accommodation, luckily she found this flat and agreed to share with her. Sabina, though older to her yet both share a good rapport, in fact she helps Priya with her studies sometimes whenever she needs. Both share their work, Sabina looked after Priya as her younger sister. Sometimes Sabina has to go out of station due to work and Priya is all alone, Sabina make a point that Priya dont have to bother for anything, she really took care of her. for past two years both have come really close to each other. Aaj Priya pareshaan thi and she was pacing up and down in their kitchen cum dining area, Sabina was watching her for some time, she knows why Priya is tensed, so she said,
Sabina " itna pareshaan kyun ho rahi hain?, yeh intern tujhe hi milega
Priya looked at her and said, pata nahi kya hoga, mujhe bohot darr lag raha hain, agar mujhe yeh internship nahi mila to?, tab main kya karungi? Saying this she came and sat on the chair.
Sabina " Priya Sharma aur darr rahi hain?, tu zara shant hoke beyth aur chai pee, sab theek hoga.
Priya sipped her cup.
In the college, everyone were waiting for their result. Priya was very anxious, ek ajeeb sa darr usse ho raha tha, baar baar lag raha tha ke agar woh top nahi kar payi toh kya hoga?, she couldnt take it more. Finally the time for results. Its a custom of this college that the last semester internal assessment result is being declared by the Principal who is accompanied by the HOD and the representative from Kapoor Industries. The seminar hall was having pin dropped silence and each and every student was waiting for their result. Principal came and took his seat along with others. He congratulated everyone for their successful completion of their course and then announced the result. Priya was waiting with bated breath for her result.
Principal " this year the student who have topped the assessment recorded the highest number in it is none other than..
Priya has closed her eyes, she was constantly praying her Almighty
Principal " .none other than Miss Priya Sharma
On hearing her name Priya opened her eyes and saw Pricipal was calling her name and her friends are clapping and cheering for her, for some moments everything stood still for her, she couldnt believe that she has done it.
After the results were declared all came out from the hall and Priyas friends were rejoicing for her. Priya excused herself from them and then call her parents, she informed her success, she told them that she will catch them later. Next she called Sabina and gave her the news and she said that both will celebrate this in their own style. Priya smiled and hung up the phone. At the moment someone came and said Principal Sir is calling her.
Priya, with the permission from Principal entered his room. She found the representative of KI was also there.
Principal " aao Priya, beytho.
Priya " thank you Sir
Principal " let me congratulate you first, you have not only topped the assessment but topped the batch and am happy to say that you are selected for your internship in Kapoor Industries.
Priya " thank you Sir said in elated voice.
Principal " well, Priya, meet Mr. Joshi from Kapoor Industies, he will supervise you in your inter
Priya turned to Mr. Joshi and said hello Sir!
Mr. Joshi was a middle aged man, maybe he is older to Priyas father, he has been with KI from its early days, in fact jab se KI internship karna shuru kiya hain tab se wohi yeh handle karte hain.
Mr. Joshi " hello Priya, let me congratulate you for your achievement and welcome to the Kapoor Industry, I hope the three months will be a memorable journey for both you and us.
Priya smiled to him.
Next day Priya was in Kapoor Industry office. It was huge and the most prestigious in the business arena, rather a holy place for every aspiring management student. Priya came to the reception and asked about Mr. Joshi and also make them see offer letter. She was asked to wait. Priya was waiting for Mr. Joshi when he first time saw Ram Kapoor, the heir of Kapoor group of Industries. Suave and dashing handsome man in his late 20s, perfectly fitted in casuals was on his phone. Everyone greeted him and he smiled back to them. Priya couldnt believe that she has actually seen him. World says that he is the youngest and brightest entrepreneur in the business world, intelligent and with vision of tomorrow like his father, well mannered and focused, an eligible bachelor in town. Priya ki kai dost iss shaqs ke peeche pagal hain, they actually day dream about him, suna toh yeh bhi hain ke he isnt engaged yet.
Priya was just thinking about him when Mr. Joshi turned up, they both greeted each other and he took her with him. He introduced her to his team and asked them to help her with the work. The first half of the day went by reading about company. During lunch break one of her senior came and said that she can have her lunch in cafeteria. Priya said she is carrying her lunch, but her senior told that they have to go to cafeteria for lunch as it is not allowed to have lunch on their desk. After the lunch when she was coming back to her desk she again saw Ram Kapoor, he was coming out from his cubicle, for moments Priya stood still and then she headed towards her desk. Mr. Joshi came to Priya and gave her some files to go through and with that asked to make a report on them. Priya almost completed the report when Mr. Joshi came back, she submitted the one and he asked her that she can now go to her home. It will be all for today.
For next seven days Priya was slowly getting accustomed to her internship, she is completely focusing on it, whenever she needs any help Mr. Joshi is always ready to help, in fact his team is there for any assistance. Priya was enjoying her internship. Seven days have passed sand she has settled herself in this new atmosphere. That day after lunch Mr Joshi came and said,
Mr. Joshi " Priya, Amarnathji wants to meet you
Priya " sure Sir
Priya with Mr. Joshi came in Amarnath Kapoors chamber. He was waiting for her. He looked at them and asked to take their seats. Priya found Ram Kapoor was also seating there.
Amarnathji " first all congratulations for your result and secondly welcome to the Kapoor Industries.
Priya ko kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha, she is sitting in front of the owner of Kapoor Industries, and he is talking with her. Priya composed herself and said,
Priya " thank you Sir
Amarnathji " well Priya, I hope you arent having problem here
Priya " am fine.
Amarnathji " I know its just been some days for you here but I want you to handle one project, I have decided this after going through your academic year and I think u can handle it. this is a new project which we are going to start and this one is being handled by my son Ram, you will assist him and in the process u will get to learn.
Priya ko kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha ke woh kya bolegi, its a golden opportunity for her and she was really excited, she could only say thanks to him. Priya came out from his chamber and came back to her desk when Mr. Joshi came and said, congratulations Priya!, Amarnathji is very impressed with your academic record, I hope you get the best from this internship. Priya thanked him. She was about to start her work when a peon came and said Ram Kapoor is calling her in his cubicle. Priya came to his chamber and knocked the door, and she heard a baritone sound, please come in. priya came inside and found Ram Kapoor along with another man within the same age bracket of him was seating in front of him. Seeing Priya getting in, he said,
Ram " have a seat Miss Sharma
Priya took the seat and kept looking at him.
Ram " well Miss Sharma, let me introduce you to Mr. Vikram Shergill, he is my frnd and we are both working on this project. Ram turned to Vikram and said, she is Miss Priya Sharma, our new intern and she will be assisting us on the project.
Vikram forwarded his hand and said, Congratulations and welcome in KI. Priya took shook her hand with him. For the next two hours these three discussed about the project. Before leaving his chamber, Priya took the file of the project to study it more thoroughly. She came to her desk and started to read. It was almost 8 in the clock when she finished the file. She came back to Rams chamber but found its locked so she kept the file in her desk and came out from the office.
For next one month Priya was fully immersed in her new project, she gave her inputs and also discuss the project with Ram and Vikram. She is trying to learn the ways and means of the system. Jahan ek taraf Priya seekh rahi thi wahi dusri taraf Ram aur Priya ke beech me ek alag hi dosti ho rahi thi, Ram was 6 years older to him but due to his nature and behavior he is loved by all. He is very sincere and dedicated to his work. Priya usse assist kar rahi hain and with that she is also learning how to survive in this competition. Yeh teeno Ram, Vikram aur Priya ek achha team bann chuke hain. Inn peechle ek mahine me Ram ne Priya ko Miss Sharma se Priya bolne laga hain. He enjoyed her company, he liked her ideas and the way she present that. He noticed that spark in her. One day Priya was still in her office, aaj kal Priya late tak kaam karti hain, actually she like to do that, whenever she is engrossed in her work she tends to forget other things. It was already 9:30 PM and she was still on her desk. Ram too was in his chamber, in fact the trio had a meeting regarding their latest development on the project and it ended just an hour ago. He asked Priya to go to her home but Priya came to her desk and she was preparing the report of todays meeting. She always does this for her own understanding. Ram came out from his chamber and saw Priya was still there, in fact she was glued on her computer screen. Ram came to her and said,
Ram " tum abhi tak ghar nahi gayi?
Priya has almost completed her work was startled to hear him and looked up and said, nahi, bas woh main jaa hi rahi thi..
Ram " chalo, main tumhe chood deta hoon
Priya " its ok Sir, I will manage.
Ram " Priya, I insist.
