Fifteen Days Later :
On the insistence of Sameer, Kishore went to the Investor's office with his proposal. Sameer wanted to accompany him in the meeting but Kishore somehow convinced him saying that it wasn't required and asked him to wait at his house .
A few hours later ,Sameer was sitting in the living room of Aggarwal Villa , eagerly waiting for Kishore's return to know about the Investor's decision . Kishore entered his house with a bag in his hand and his head hanging low . He walked past Anju , who was standing by the door and strode his way towards the living room and sat on the couch after placing the files on the glass table .
"Kya kaha investors ne???", Anju who followed Kishore into the living room asked worriedly.
"Arey Aur Kya kahenge ... Woh log toh uchal padey hongey idea sunte hi.....", Sameer spoke with confidence
"Unhone Invest karne se mana kar diya... ", Kishore replied with his head still hanging low.
"What???? Par kyon?? ", Sameer gasped in shock. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Unke hisaab SE Unhe nahi lagta ke yeh business profitable hoga.."
"What nonsense!!!! Lagta hai ke unhe new procedures aur technology ke baare mein kuch pata hi nahi. ... Waise , Aapne to kaha tha.. Aap unhe bohot pehle SE jaante hai, aur Unke saath Aggarwal Automobiles ke bohot Purane business relations hai ..Phir Kya hua ??? "
" Maine unhe bohot samjhane ki koshish ki par ....Yeh toh business mein hota rehta hai. Yahan Koi Kisi ka nahi hota . Sab ko profit chahiye hota hai.. But Beta, you don't get disappointed and lose hope . Just be determined and trust yourself kuch na kuch Ho jaiga.", Kishore paused and continued.
"Ab mujhey hi dekhlo ..meine jab sabse pehle 'Sanyukta Spare parts ' ka business shuru kiya tha , tab Kya tha mere paas.... Sirf ek sonch aur ummeed hi toh thi ...Aur Aaj dekho ....",
"Uncle ji .. Aap please bura mat maaniye. I'm sorry to say this .. Par Main Aap ki tarah yahan koi Chota mota Karkhana kholne ki baat nahi kar raha hoon ... Main ek full fledged, self-sufficient , tyre manufacturing unit set up Karna chahta hoon... "
"Beta....Main to bass....", Kishore tried to explain but was interrupted by Sameer .
" Dekhiye uncle ji ... Aap to jaante hi hain ke market mein competition kitna badd Gaya hai aur Waise bhi aapki spare parts ki factory aaj kal kuch zyada business kar bhi nahi rahi.. So why don't you sell it??? I mean Agar aap usko bech denge to aapko aapke invested paise wapas mil jaenge, jisey aap mere Manufacturing unit mein invest kardena. Is mein hum dono ka faida Ho sakta hai."
"Beta.. Darasal Woh factory Sanyukta ke naam hai. Toh humey us SE ek baar pooch Lena chahiye. ", Anju interrupted in between.
"Dekhiye Aunty ji. Waise toh Humare yahan ladies business mein involve nahi hoti. Unka Kam sirf ghar ki dekh rekh karna hota hai but phir bhi... Sanyukta ab meri hone wali wife hai. .. Mere sapne ab uske sapne hone waley hai aur meri success uski success. So I don't think usey koi objection hona chahiye...., after all yeh Sab mein Humare bright future ke liye hi toh karraha hoon...."

That night sleep was far away from Mr Aggarwal's eyes . He kept tossing and turning from one side of his bed to another, thinking whether it would be a wise decision to sell the factory of 'Sanyukta spare parts' and invest the money in Sameer's Manufacturing unit??
Eventually ,unable to tolerate his sleeplessness , he sat up in bed and started staring at the ceiling . Somewhere deep inside he himself knew the fact that Sameer's idea wouldn't work . But how could he tell that to him ?? What if Sameer thinks he's just making an excuse as he's not willing to finance him??
Since the time , he got to know that he's been diagnosed with cancer , all he wanted was a safe and secure future for his family . He wanted to see Sanyukta happily married and settled before he dies. He wanted someone to take care of his family after he was gone. But after the rendezvous with Sameer in the morning , he had a doubt if he could trust him on that???
His mind was churning out so many thoughts that his heart couldn't rest. Was Sameer the right man for his daughter ??Did he make the right decision by getting Sanyukta engaged to Sameer. Will Sameer be able to stand by her side and support her through all the difficult situations in her life.
After thinking a lot , he decided that he would meet Sameer the next day and tell him everything ..
