Shilpa: now go have some rest
Priya was in her room thinking how these new relations entered her life 11 years back, now they have become part of her life, a family which she has always wished for.
Shilpa and Shipra were in contact regularly, after Shipra's death Shilpa came to US to take Priya with her but Sudhir didn't allow it to happen then later she used to call Priya and talk to her. After coming to India Priya thought about meeting her maasi once whom she met when she was very young her decision, when she came to her maasi's house when she saw Shilpa she remembered her mother bcoz both had same features, Shilpa welcomed her warmly in her home and introduced her to everyone at that time these realtions were new but she felt warmth and affection in them which she was unable to find in her and her father's relation. Later upon their insistence Priya stayed with them and first time her life enjoyed being in a family then later bcoz of some events in her life she had to leave Mumbai and come to Delhi to start a new life.
**************************************
Next day Dev came to meet Priya
Dev: mam sir told me that from today onwards you'll handle the business
Priya: I have to think about it still I haven't decided anything
Dev: mam please you should come to office
Priya: I need time
Dev: mam as sir told you these are the papers of the property transfer
Priya thinks if mom has transferred these properties to me then why this being told to me now... i think there is something else to it, I need to find it out, for that I need to go to office: k thanks I'll come
Dev: thanks mam I'll be waiting for you
****************************************
Priya entered the office and Dev introduced her to everyone. Priya easily mingled in the office as she was familiar to it and started her work on the new project and checked all the details of the projects that company was currently handling. She gave the responsibility of her company in Delhi to the manager over there, if they had an important issue they would contact her through phone and mails.
Dev: mam we have a meeting with one of our important clients in 2 hours actually we are going to start a new project together, will you please attend it as Sudhir sir is not here he wanted you to take care of it
Priya: ya sure please send the files I'll go through the details, the meeting is with
Dev: chairman of Kapoor Industries Mr.Amarnath Kapoor
******************************************
After completing the meeting Priya was getting ready to leave
AM: good work beta what is your name
Priya: Priya
AM: you are...
Dev: sir she is Sudhir sir's daughter
AM: nice meeting you... glad to work with you
Priya: pleasure will be mine sir to work with you
AM: ahh... no formalities you can call me uncle
Priya: thanks uncle
*************************************
It was nearly 15 days she didn't think she would spend these many days in Mumbai but bcoz of her maasi and her family she was staying there but now she wanted to go back but before that she needed to talk to her father, so she went to meet him thought she has visited him rarely she never asked him what else he wanted to say to her as doctors advised her that he shouldn't be stressed but now as he had recovered she could talk to him
Priya knocked on the door
SS: please come in
Priya: how are you know Mr.Sharma
SS: Priya there was no need of knocking but you always do the same, please sit down beta
Priya: its alright, actually I came to ask you what else you wanted to talk to me so that I can go back
SS: Priya I know what I did was wrong I realized my mistake cant you forgive me
Priya: few mistakes can never be corrected
SS: Priya cant you forget all this for a moment and talk to me normally
Priya: normally... what do you mean by it... do you remember how many times you spoke to me right from my childhood
SS: when I heard that you were coming to meet me I thought you must have forgiven me but I'm wrong
Priya: yes I came to meet you bcoz I promised mom that I would always fulfill my duties as a daughter
SS: whatever might be the reason but I'm happy to see you here, your concern for me, staying here for me
Priya turned her eyes to her father first meeting her dad's eyes: do you really mean it... does it really matter to you if I look at you or talk to you or do anything for you
SS: Priya I have changed... it really matters, please sit down here directed to a chair near him
Priya: thank you so much but I'm fine, I want to know what else you need to tell me
SS: Priya beta I want you to take care of our business now though I'll be there to guide you
Priya: now I don't want it I'm happy with what I have
SS: I know beta but I also want to talk to you abt something else
Priya: yes
SS: beta I know I never fulfilled any of my responsibilities but now I want you to get married I know you don't trust me so I have asked Shilpa to take this responsibility
Priya was shocked: I don't want to marry and how come you remembered now that you have to get me married...
SS: it was your mother's wish, she had so many dreams about your marraige please listen to me once I know you don't trust me that is why I gave this responsibility to Shilpa atleast you have to trust her please
Priya hearing her mother name became quite she didn't know what to say: I don't know and she left the room she couldn't believe her father called her to talk about her marriage
**************************************
While returning home Priya was very disturbed so instead of going to her maasi's home she went to a park, sat there watching people around her, far away she saw a woman was struggling to walk she went towards the woman to help her
Priya: aunty are you alright
Lady: beta I'm fine, I was thinking something so didnt see where I was gng... I have hurted my foot

******************************************
In Shilpa's house
Karthik: maa do you think you are doing the right thing
Shilpa: yes karthik I don't want Priya to spend her life alone
Karthik: do you think di will agree to this
Ayesha: yes maa I don't think di will agree to it
Amit: I know Priya has gone through many hurdles in life but she definitely needs someone to take care of her... she can't be like this for all her life
Shilpa: that is what I was also trying to say
Karthik: but di... you know her
Shilpa: I think I have to tell her a lie, what Sudhir has asked me to tell to her
Karthik: but maa do you think this is correct
Shilpa: yes karthik this is the only way to make Priya agree for this marraige, I know this match was fixed by Sudhir but we have to make Priya believe that we have searched this
Karthik: but maa the match is fixed by Sudhir uncle... do you think it is right for di
Amit: yes beta this is the right match... I have found out everything about family and the person too they are very good people, atleast now Priya will have a family and will get all love and affection that she deserves
Shilpa: I don't trust Sudhir that is why I asked you dad to find out everything about the family I don't want Priya to face any more problems in her life she has already faced many problems... even because of us she faced the problems before and I don't want it to get repeated otherwise... my Priya will never be able to recover from this in her life tears rolled down her cheeks
Karthik: I think you are right ma but will di agree to it
Shilpa: I'll tell Priya what Sudhir asked me to tell that it was the wish of my di to get her married to a nice person and I know she loves her mom a lot so she'll do anything for her mom... even if she has to get married... I'm so sorry Priya for lying to you but this is the only way to make you agree to this marriage
*************************************
Priya reached her maasi's house after sometime
Shilpa: where were you I was worried about you
Priya: I just went to nearby park I just lost track of time
Shilpa: is everything alright you seem to be stressed about something
Priya: nothing like that maasi it was just the work
Shilpa: Priya I know your dad told me what he talked to you
Priya: maasi please now you don't start it
Shilpa: please Priya beta don't say no to this match, I have asked your maasa ji to find out everything about the family, it is a perfect match for you... what happened before will not be repeated I promise you that
Priya: I'm sorry maasi but I'm not ready for it now
Shilpa: Priya your mother had so many dreams about your marriage... whenever I used to call her she used you to talk mostly about you marriage... now it is my responsibility to make her dream true and for this I need you help please Priya
Priya didn't understand why this topic was being raised now quietly she said: I need time to think about it
*************************************
Priya was alone in her room thinking about it... why her maasi and dad were using her mother's name to get her married... was this written her fate to get married to a unknown guy what was she supposed to do' she was unable to decide anything then she remembered the words of the lady whom she met in the park, slowly she closed her eyes thinking about all the events that happened and remembered her mom, taking her decision she opened her eyes she decided that she'll find out why her father is using her mom and maasi to get her married
**************************************
Next day morning Priya left for the office early, she searched for the papers asked Dev to get the property documents which her mother left to her
Dev: mam I gave it to you on that day
Priya: ya I know but I think Mr.Sharma too has a copy of that
Dev: sorry mam I don't know about it
Priya: k fine thanks then she slowly sneaked into her father's cabin went through all the cupboards and desks at last she found the file of the property transfer she was shocked to read what was written in it then she understood why her father was forcing her to get married taking her decision he went to her maasi's house
