😊

Chakor was surprised that Suraj took her to his place. "Suraj...?".

Suraj looked at her. "I know you are not buyable but you need a place to sleep this is like a five-star hotel. You don't worry nothing will happen to you come! Have a little bit trust on me!". He opens the door and held his hand forward.

Chakor hesitates first but then looking into his eyes she took his hand and he helped her out of the car. He took the bag in his hand and carried over his shoulder while he drunk with the other hand. "Oh sorry, do you want?". He offers her his flask. "You need it more than me!".

Chakor shook her head. "No, Suraj I don't. Neither do I think, that you need it. Don't you think it's just an easy way to forget for the moment but the reality always comes back and the pain you are trying to forget just increases!".

Suraj glares at her. "Shut up! You are not my psychiatrist! Or are one professional?".

Chakor shook her head but starts to laugh. "I thought you are evil but you are just pretending to be one. You are a Pakhaandi!".

Suraj looked at her. "What?! You Jungli Billi!".

Chakor looked at him. "You said it again? I'm not a Jungli Billi, you Pakhaandi!". They entered the house and KN was awake.

KN stood up. "Suraj?!".

Suraj stops he pouts thinking of his father upcoming lecture. "I'm leaving, best of luck!".

Chakor smiles and shook her head. "You can't leave! He is your father! And I'm your guest, introduce me first, then you can leave!".

Suraj was lost in her smile. "Okay!". He took her hand and enters the house. "Papa this is...".

KN looked at her. "The miss winner and the daughter of Kasturi and Bhuvaan Khanna! Chakor Khanna!".

Chakor greets him. "Ji uncle!".

Suraj was shocked. "So Papa you know?".

KN looked at them. "What? That you misbehaved with her and she is the reason why I was humiliated!".

Suraj lowered his gaze. "Woh actually I was the reason for the humiliation not she, she just protected herself! Now she is her because I helped her to escape!".

KN was confused. "Oh Chakor I never understand this drunken one. Will you please explain me what had happened that you end up to take help from him?!".

Chakor nods they were sitting on the couch and Chakor told them about her and Vivaan's relationship.

When Suraj come and announced me as the winner I vanished at the backstage there he was waiting.

"Excuse me?".

I looked at him and he was smiling at me. "Yes?".

"I'm Vivaan Kapoor, nice to meet you!". We both shook the hand of the other one. And I left from there.

Then I met him again. He come to my college to ask for a date. "Please Chakor one date, if you don't like my company I will leave immediately!".

I liked his honesty so I agreed for the date. We went to the next coffee shop and he told me about his mother and sister. I was happy he had the support of them and he told me about his boss. "He is a kind hearted man but he has no self control. He always drinks that too, too much!".

At that time I didn't knew he was talking about Suraj.

We then met regularly and he confessed me his love. I am someone who believes that the one who loves you, can look after you, no matter if he / she has money. I accepted his love.

I told him about my parents but he was scared that they will reject him and he was absolutely right! They did rejected him. So we come with the idea to elope.

Rest you know... KN nods. "So my son did a good job. Ramu Kaka, give her the guest room!".

KN stood up. "Chakor I will try to talk to your parents!". He was about to leave.

"Uncle!". She stood up. "Please, don't! I don't want to go back! Facing them seeing that they were right. That he won't be able to feed me is something I never wanted to give them to troll over me. I will as soon as I find a job!".

Suraj looked at her. "Chakor we have a job but you have to give an interview like all the other's [yawns] have to do!". He stood up. "Come I will show you the room!".

He stretched his arms up in the air and moves his head left and right. KN was just looking at them with open mouth.

Chakor follows him into the room. "Thank You for your help!". She opens her bag and was devastated by the wedding dress.

Suraj comes to her he sat on the floor and cups her face.

He wipes her tears away. "Jungli Billi I don't like tears...! Don't cry! You can stay as long as you want don't worry and because of Vivaan if you want I can fire him but then he would be devastated he needs the job for feeding his hungry family!".

Chakor shook her head. "I'm not angry on him neither do I have a grudge against him. I pity on myself that I couldn't see his weakness and trusted on his so called love!".

Suraj nods. "You need clothes?". He stood up and come back after ten minutes.

It were new clothes he gave her the shoppers and left. Chakor was surprised but happy she could change the clothes as all she had was a wedding dress.

Both were lying on their beds.

Suraj fall asleep having another peg.
Chakor thought about the whole night.

The next morning

Chakor come in the new dress.

KN looked at her. "Chakor good morning!". Chakor smiles. "Good morning uncle!".

KN calls her. "Come sir and eat!". Chakor nods. "But uncle aren't we going to wait for Suraj?". KN looked at Chakor, he blinks with his eyes when his gaze switched to the stairs. Suraj was coming fresh. "Haan 2 min.".

Suraj come and sit there on his place. All were surprised seeing him. He was looking for his breakfast. "Kaka! Where is my egg crumble? Or Parathe. I'm not going to eat toast!". He was staring at his empty plate but his hand was shaking. He put his hands on his lap not to show the effect of not drinking.

The servants starts to serve with the food. "Suraj Baba tomorrow I will make you aloo ke Parathe!".

"Arrey Kaka I will make them!". Chakor said eating her bread.

Kaka shook his head. "You are our guest you can't cook here!".

Chakor pouts. "No, then I don't want to stay here!".

Suraj widen his eyes.

KN laughs. "Haha if she wants to cook let her. She not any guest, she is a special guest because of this idiot!".

Suraj glares at him. "What?!".

He start to eat his egg crumble and went with KN to the office where Vivaan was already on his place. Suraj fumes seeing him.

KN looked at him. "Suraj! It's his personal matter you can't put it in between the work!". They went to their respective cabins.

Vivaan immediately rushed to Suraj cabin.

*knock knock*

Suraj looked up. "Come in asshole!".

Vivaan enters the cabin. "Suraj because of yesterday...?!"

Suraj stopped him. "You don't need to tell me anything! I won't to remind you this is an office we don't talk about personal matter here in future. Our relationship is based on work here is no friendship! You may go and do your work, like everyone else!".

Vivaan left the cabin he was near the door. "Vivaan! If there would be a lack of money I would have given it for free but now how to askfor loans and pay it back. Close the door!".

Suraj works on his files. When he got the feeling to drink but he stopped himself.

KN was witnessing it. Seems like this boy has lost his heart to her. But she won't marry or accept him as long as he isn't sober.

KN made a call. "Do as I said!". He ended the call.

In the noon when they all start their lunch Suraj was looking at the bottle but he didn't touched it. He stood up and was surprised to see Chakor.

Chakor smiles. "Suraj I'm here for the interview I know I'm a bit early but still. Oh here!". She handover him the food. "Kaka sent it for you!". Suraj took it. "Chakor the interview is on the 3rd floor you can wait with the other's. I might come! Best of luck!".

Chakor was at the 3rd floor and waiting for the interview whereas Suraj was happy as he could divide his mind with the food she bought for him. Suraj was happy he eat the food but it didn't tasted like usually.

He found a note in the tiffin box no sweet dish.
Mister Suraj Rajvanshi I'm bribing you!
Chakor

Suraj laughs and the staff members were shocked as his laugh was so loud. No one heard him laughing like this. He drink the water and left for the interviews.

Chakor was one of the first applicants, she gave an interview. The manager looked at her. "Chakor Khanna what are you doing here?".

Chakor looked down. "I.. I runaway from home because I made a wrong decision I don't want to go home to accept my defeat and my weak decision!".

The manager closed the file of her application papers. "You haven't ended your studies yet, then you just accept you are bad in taking decisions! Why we would even consider you for a job in our company! Here your file. You may leave now!".

Chakor took the file and nods. She was looking at the interview room many qualified people were sitting there. She was about to leave.

"Chakor!".

Chakor turns. "Haan Sir".

Suraj looked at her. "You have to end your studies then we can give you a job! Talk to your principal!".

Chakor smiles and left from there. She went to the college and talked to principal, KN already talked to him that he will pay for her fees.

Chakor rejoined the college the same day. She didn't had much left.
