Divisha reached California two hours ago and was sitting in her room. She took an appointment for tomorrow to meet the CEO.

After taking a bath, she ordered herself lunch and after having it, she slept for a few hours.

She woke up in the evening and after having some snacks, she went outside to look around. She talked to her parents, brother and sister-in-law, who were yelling at her because she didn't inform them about anything.

After moving to Mumbai, she got busy with her career and could not talk much to her family.

She was walking on the streets of California, when she got a call from her best friend, kritika. She picked up the call and the first thing she heard was not hi/hello, it was

"Kamini! Bhul jati hai kya tu mujhe. Kabhi khud ka dimag laga kar call ya message bhi kar liya kar." Divisha hummed and said 'sorry'.
(Idiot! Do you forget me? Sometimes use your brain and call or at least text me.)

"Chal bata ab kya hua." Kritika said to which Divisha replied 'nothing'.
(Now tell me what happened.)

"Pagal dikhti hu mai? Achhi tarah janti hu tujhe. Aur itna toh pata hai ki meri Divisha itni chup nahi reh sakti. Chal ab chup chap bata!" Kritika said and Divisha started telling her everything from the start.
(Do I look dumb? I know you very well. And I know that my Divisha can't stay silent like this. Now tell me what happened!)

"Toh tu abhi California me hai?" Kritika was shocked listening to her. Divisha hummed in response.
(So are you in California now?)

"Dekh Divisha, log tere baare me kya sochte hai tu nahi badal sakti. Aur tujhe unki baato se fark nahi padna chahiye. Tujhe pata hai tune kitni mehnat Kari hai aur kitna time laga hai yeh sab paane me, tujhe kisi aur ko explanation dene ki zarurat nahi hai. And if you think you don't deserve this name-fame then remember you get what you deserve. God always does justice." Kritika tried to make Divisha understand while a tear slipped from Divisha's eyes.

(Look Divisha, you can't change what others think about you. And their thinking shouldn't affect you. You know how much effort you did and the time it took to come at this level, you don't need to give explanations to everyone. And if you think you don't deserve this name-fame then remember you get what you deserve. God always does justice.)

"Now, wipe your tears and go to the hotel and rest after having dinner." Kritika said, they both bid 'bye' to each other.

Divisha went back to her hotel and slept after having dinner.

The next day, she woke up and after taking a bath and having breakfast, she left for her destination.
After a wait of 2-3 hours, she was called inside. She greeted the CEO and told him about her. He refused at first because of her careless behavior but then after a lot of convincing he agreed to give her a chance. But only if he finds the deal profitable for him as much as for them then only they will sign it.

Divisha agreed and after a whole 3 hours discussion, they were convinced to sign the deal with them. She asked them to e-mail the same to Emway Ltd. and left with a satisfied expression on her face.

She had decided to take flight for the next day and roamed around California for the rest of the day.

In India

At night after they lost the deal, he came home and had a grumpy expression all the time.

After having dinner, he went inside his room and slumped on the bed. He was rubbing his head as he was having a headache after all the things happened in the office.

He had his eyes closed when someone knocked on his room's door.

"Darwaza khula hai." He said in a tired voice. His mother peeked in his room with a smile on her face and then entered inside.
(The door is unlocked.)

Preeti went towards bed and sat beside him. He shifted a bit putting his head on her lap.

"Headache ho raha. Oiling kardu?" Preeti asked, caressing his head while he just nodded. She went to take oil and again sat on the bed.
(You are having a headache. Should I do oiling?)

She started oiling his head and massaging him.

"Tere papa ne bataya mujhe aaj kya hua." Preeti told Abhimanyu, making him hum.
(Your father told me whatever happened today.)

"Tujhe kuch bataungi toh tu gussa toh nahi hoga na?" Preeti asked and he opened his eyes.
(If I tell you something, you won't get angry, right?)

"Aapko kyu lagta hai mai aapki baato ka bura manunga?" He asked her, to which she smiled and said.
(Why do you think that I'll be upset by your words?)

"Abhi beta, galtiya sabse hoti hai, hume unn galtiyo ko maaf karna seekhna chahiye. Tu bata Divisha jaan bujh kar late kyu aaegi jab usse pata hai usme uska hi nuksaan hoga. Kya pata vo raat ko late ho gayi ho kisi vajah se sone me. Hum nahi bata sakte na dusra kis situation se guzar raha hai." Abhimanyu hummed listening to her.
(Abhi dear, everyone makes mistakes, we should learn to forgive those mistakes. You tell me, why will Divisha intentionally be late when she knows it's going to harm her? Maybe she was late in sleeping due to some reason. We can't know what situation someone else is going through.)

"Ab ek baat bata, tune itni mehnat Kari hai itne saalo me aur agar koi aakar tujhse kahe ki 'tum kuch nahi kar sakte. ' ya fir tumhare layak nahi hai yeh kaam' toh tujhe thes pohochegi na? Divisha ko bhi tune Aisa hi kuch bola toh soch uspar kya beeti hogi." Preeti said and he nodded at her question.
(Now tell me one thing, you did so much hard work in these years and if someone comes to you and says that 'You can't do anything' or 'You are not worthy to do this' then you'll be hurt, right. You said something like this to Divisha too, now think about what she went through.)

"Ab tu mera beta hai na, toh usse maafi mangega na?" Abhimanyu took a deep breath and hummed. Preeti giggled and ruffled his hair.
(You are my son, right so won't you apologise to her?)

"Waah! Firse maa-bete ne akela chhod diya mujhe." Anand said faking a sad face and entered the room. He walked towards bed and pinched Preeti's cheeks to which she groaned.
(Wow! Again the mother-son duo left me alone,)

"Abhimanyu, apne papa ko dekh le." Preeti said in annoyance.
(Abhimany, look at your father.)

"Mai kya dekhu ab, aapke pati hai aap hi bol do." Abhimanyu said looking at his mother.
(What should I look at, he is your husband, you only say to him.)

"Chal bete aage ho." Anand said and now Abhimanyu groaned.
(Son, now shift ahead.)

"Mom, ab dekhlo aap inhe." Abhimanyu said in annoyance.
(Mom, look at him now.)

"Mai kya dekhu ab, tere papa hai tu hi bol de." Preeti said in a duh tone. Abhimanyu groaned and shifted ahead, Preeti also shifted and Anand sat behind her. He took oil in his hands and started massaging her head.
(What should I look at, he is your father, you only say to him.)

They spent some family time and slept afterwards.

Other 3 days went faster then expected. Abhimanyu felt a void in his heart and office because of someone's absence.

After Divisha returned to India, she came next day to the office. After putting her stuff in her cabin, she went to CEOs cabin.

"Sir, I have completed my promise." Divisha said and Anand gave her a proud smile. Divisha came out of the cabin and was going towards her office when someone held her hand from behind.

"Divisha! " Abhimanyu said. Divisha turned back and removed his hand.

"I'm sorry for that day. I was just pissed because of whatever happened that day. I shouldn't have reacted like that and said those things to you." Abhimanyu said looking into her eyes.

"It's okay!" Divisha smiled in pain and left from there.
