Next morning Maya returned from the temple and began with the usual household stuff she did every day. When kamni woke up she arrogantly said, "Pata nhi kis muhrat mai isse yha le aaye the hum, Jane ka name he nhi le rhi ye ladki." Maya didn't speak a word and continued her work. During lunch when everyone was having lunch while Maya was serving the others Janvi spoke, "Rajkumar Karan is so good looking. Ma find a groom who is equally good looking for me or else I won't get married. I will never adjust for a man who is average in terms of looks."
"Ha beta, don't worry I'll find the best person for you and why will you adjust?? If anyone will adjust then she will be Maya because now who will marry her?? Firstly she is an orphan, secondly we will never waste our money for her dowry and thirdly she was going to get married but it got cancelled. Who will marry an orphan, a girl who won't bring any dowry along with her and a girl who was already going to get married?? Ab iska kya hoga bhagwaan he jane." Kamni said while pointing towards Maya.
At the same time at the royal palace Karan just woke up and surprisingly the first thought in his mind was about Maya. For some quite 15 minutes he was just thinking about what Maya would be doing? How will everyone behave with her now? Her aunt's verbal abuse towards her will surely increase, Will Maya find a good person for herself?? Karan was lost in these thought but soon he was distracted by his mother Jagruti, Queen of the kingdom "Karan beta are you ok??I have been knocking the door since a minute now where were you lost??" "N-n-no nothing ma maybe I was in a deep sleep."Karan replied as he woke up and hugged his dear mother. "Theek hai now get ready and come downstairs the breakfast is ready." Jagruti said and left the room.
Karan went and picked up his outfit for the day from his luxurious walk in closet which contained all the national & international brands and went to take bath. As he was bathing his thoughts again drifted to Maya which sent a shiver through him and his heart beat raised. "What is happening to me? Why am I thinking about Maya?" he spoke to himself as he wrapped himself around the bathrobe and left the bathroom.
He soon got ready and went to the breakfast table.
[At the breakfast table]
Karan was still processing that why was he thinking about Maya since the minute he woke up this was frustrating for him as he had never experienced something like this, soon he was distracted by Shivansh, Karan's younger brother. "Bhai can you please drop me to my collage?" "I've told you a 100 times I'm not free for all these stuff. I have to go to the office. Ask the driver to drop you." Karan said these words out of frustration and left the breakfast table. "Aaj bhai ko kya ho gaya hai? He never talks so rudely to anyone" Shivang asked others.
"Ha aaj subh bhi jb uske room mai gayi he behaved a bit different" Jagruti spoke up. "He's a grown up boy now he can handle his problems." Mahraj Vikram addressed everyone.
Karan took his office bags and went towards his car. He was above to start the car when we saw something shining near his legs. He picked that thing up and found a jumka which probably belonged to Maya she might have dropped it when she wore it when they had meet for the first time. Karan saw that jumka gently smiled and kept it in his office bag and headed towards his office.
Maya's day was not going good, all eyes were on her and it was like Maya was the new gossip for everyone. She was peacefully sleeping on her bed when Narsinh threw a glass full of water on her face and woke her up, "Aaj iski vajah se kahi muh dikhane layak nhi rha mai. Samaj mai sab ki zubaan pr sirf humare parivaar k charche hai. Jha jaye sab ki nazar hum pr he rehti hai, khud to ghar se bahar jati nhi ab hume bhi ghar se bahar jane layak nhi chora" Narsinh said to Kamni while pointing towards Maya. Tears flowed from Maya's eyes but she stayed motionless.
Kamni angrily moved towards maya who stood near her bed as tear dropped from her eyes and said "Kaha milli thi tu rajkumar se? Kahi mu kala to nhi kr aayi? Rajkumar ne jo call recording sunayi thi uski vjah se sab logo ko pata chal gya hai ki tu unse milli thi, ab sab baatie kr rhe hai ki ladki mu kala krke aayi hai kya javab de hum sabko??" Maya heard these and her heart was in pieces, she was still processing everything when Kamni Slapped Maya because of which she lost her balance and fell down and her head clashed with the ground which made it bleed.
Maya slowly stood up on her legs joined her hands and said while sobbing "Aaisa k-k-kuch nhi kiya hai maine, mai suicide krne vali thi purane bridge pr and tb he Rajkumar ne meri jaan bachai. Unke bohot baar puchne k baad maine unhe sab btaya tha. Or tb muje pta bhi nhi tha ki vo Rajkumar Karan hai. Maine kuch aaisa nhi kiya hai jisse aapki izzat pr aa banne."
"Tune kya kiya kya krne vali thi hume kya pata, ab humari izzat to chali gyi na. Sab ko teri ye kahani suna suna kr explaination to nhi de sakte" Narsinh said this while hitting his hand on the wall and left the room. Kamni also left the room behind Narsinh.
Maya took her diary and pulled out a picture with her parents, cried heavily and said,"Ma Papa why did you leave me? I really need you both. Please, Please bring me away from all these problems, I cannot handle them anymore." Maya kept crying the whole night and fell asleep while crying with the picture in her hand.
On the other side Karan was busy working on an important project, it was a prestigious project and his rival Abhimanyu Kapoor was his only blockage in this project, but Karan was sure that he would crack this deal and grab the brightest opportunity of his career. Karan was working on this project since six months and today was the final day, Clients would go through the presentation by both the companies, The Raghuvanshi group of companies and Kapoor Industries.
Karan made a sharp confident entry in Navy blue shit which did justice to his tall slim body, his neatly combed hair and light beard on his strong jawline added a different charm to his handsome appearance.
He was focused and warned his team members that even a small mistake will not be ignored. He addressed his team that, "I cannot afford to lose this opportunity, hook or by crook we need to crack this deal with Roshan industries today. We cannot let this deal go to the Kapoors."
Soon the meeting begun, both company's team gave their presentation and it went really well. The temperature of the meeting room was very high as the two rivals were competing with each other. Now it was time for the clients to make the decision.
After an hour Roshan industries informed both the companies that they'll sign the deal with the Raghuvanshi group of companies. Karan was on cloud 9 after hearing the news. Everyone from their team was celebrating while Abhimanyu gave a cold look to Karan the whole time. "I worked on this deal for a year, I have more experience than Karan how the hell this deal slipped away from my hands." Abhimanyu spoke to himself.
Meanwhile everyone left the spot and Karan had almost reached his car when he had to stop after Abhimanyu came in his way and told, "You think you can fool everyone with your charm, but you are wrong. You cannot fool me. I know you have played some dirty games to grab this deal."
"I didn't play any games, Abhimanyu," he replied evenly in a steady voice . "I got it because I worked for it." Karan confidently told this to Abhimanyu while folding his sleeves.
Abhimanyu stepped closer, his eyes turned red. "You must've pulled some strings! There's no way you could've cracked that deal fairly." "I didn't have to do anything to beat you, I worked hard and got the result. Now don't waste my time and go out of my way." Karan gave a cold look to Abhimanyu, pushed him aside and left.
"You will regret this, mark my words." Abhimanyu shouted which Karan ignored and drove back home happily. When Karan reached home everyone praised him for his achievement and blessed him to grab more opportunities. Soon Karan went to his room, got changed and sat in the balcony thinking about this best day of his life while looking at the stars and the beautiful moon.
He got a thought about Maya that this day might not have been the same for her, everyone must have questioned her and gave her mental torture. Karan prayed god to take all the problems away from Maya's life and give her a happy healthy and beautiful life.
