As the two sisters made way to the door, Anjali and Akash shouted,.. "Rukhiye Khushi ji and Payal ji,.. kya hum is baare mein baitke baat kar sakte hai? Agar aap dono akele mein discuss karna chahte hai tho aap dono conference room mein baitke kar sakte hai.

(Wait Payal, khushi, can we sit n talk? if u want u can both discuss in conf room)


Khushi turned around saying, "Dekhiye Anjali ji, hum aapka bahut izzat karte hai, lekin" (Please Anjaliji, I respect u a lot, but) looking at Arnav she continued in a calm way,, " humari aisi aukat kahan jo hum is bade office mein kaam karen, hume kya kaam aata hai,.. waise bhi hume na oopar first floor se girna hai, na tailor banke sab mardon ka measurments lena hai, na parking sambhaalna hai, na kisi ke coat hanger banna hai, na model banna hai aur na hi hume kisi building ka report banana hai, (I dont have the status or money to work in such a big office, what work do i know, also I dont want to be thrown from first floor, or take measuremenets for all men like a tailor, or look after parking, or be a coat hanger, or a model nor do a report on any building)
Looking back at Anjali and Akash, she requested "isiliye, hume yahan se jaane deejiye please(so please let us leave)
Akash's face was down with guilt, while Anjali just sat down shocked to know about the seriousness of her Chote's behaviour towards Khushi and gasped looking at "Chote... kya ye sach hai.. (Is this true)
Arnav stood staring at Khushi reliving all the moments, but slowly his anger rose thinking "This chit of a girl,..., addresssing his di, he said "Di, aise logon ko kaise manana hai, woh mein jaanta hoon,... ek minute rukhiye.(di u dont know how to handle these girls, I know, wait a min). saying so he darted out of the room.
After what seemed like ages, he entered to see tensed faces around Akash's huge table. He got their appointment letters, shoving each one under their noses, he pointed, "aisi deal aapko kahin nahi milega,(u will never get a better offer anywhere)... every month you will each be getiing Rs. x0000, your 25% house rent is covered for each of you, making it 50% since you live together,.. you will get Rs x000 for you commute to office,...

Taken aback by the figures, both Khushi and Payal went pale looking at each other.. yes they were happy their work was being rewarded, but at the same time not sure,... however in the end, both said, "Dhanyavad Anjaliji aur Akash ji, ab hume chalna chahiye,...(Thanks Anjali ji, Akahji, we need to leave now)
ASR was the first to be shocked, Anjali without any other go guiltily, whispered , "Khushiji that contract,...,. four pair of shocked eyes turned towards Anjali, stumping even ASR, Anjali was herself surprised, "hey bhagvaan why am I doing this,.. but words once said, cannot be taken..
Payal and khushi could not believe their ears and echoed "Anjaliji... and both sat down.. Akash was a mute spectator throughout, while Arnav for once was not sure what to say..


Eventually Khushi said, "Kya hum aur jiji akele mein kuch baat kar sakte hai, (Can we both discuss on our own) .. 

Anjali was only too glad and said, "chaliye hum dikhate hai while going she met shuklaji and ordered, "do chai le aayiye conference room mein (Get 2 tea) , Payal was soon to refuse, "Nahi Anjali ji hume nahi chahiye, shukriya" (No thanks) They sat in silence, both sisters looking defeated, but they did not bother in the confines of the conference room.

"Jiji, kya karen jiji hume kuch samaj mein nahi aa rahe hai,... " (Jiji, what do we do, I am not able to understand anything)
"Dekhoi Khushi hume kisise darne ki koi zaroorat nahi, Waise bhi abhi hum kaam kar rahe hai na, thoda wakt lete hai aur paisa lautate hai,..,(Look Khushi, we need not get scared of anybody, we are working now anyway, lets take some time n return the money) Payal tried to convince Khushi,..
"Nahi Jiji mujhe nahi lagta hai ki woh log maan jaayenge, unhe kisi bhi tarah se manane hai humko yahan kaam karne keliye, nahi tho Anjali ji contract ke baare kabhi nahi kehti... (No jiji, they will not agree, they will somehow force us into agreeing, else she would not have mentioned about the contract)
Composing herself, Khushi, said confidently, "Jiji , Devi maiyya ka aur apna parivaar ka haat humare oopar hai tho hum kuch bhi kar sakte hai. Aapko humara saath dena hoga. Chalo na jiji" (If DMs hand and my family is with us we can do anything. Lets go )


"Par khushi batana tumne kya faisla liya hai? pleaded Payal, however Khushi was already pushing her towards Akash's cabin... (But Khushi, tell me what have u decided?)
All three faces turned towards the sisters with anticipation. "Anjaliji hum tayyar hai (We r ready), as she paused to take a deep breath, ASR giving a victory grin smirked "di maine kaha tha na in logon ko kaise manane hai.. (Di I told u how to talk to these girls)

Khushi addressing Anjali said, "humari kuch shartain hain,. (We have certain conditions)

Not the one to bow down to any demands, fisting his hands, ASR shouted, "Di ye mera office hai, kaam karna hai tho mein shart banata hoon woh nahi, .. (This is my office, I make conditions not them)
Khushi who was expecting this was not at all surprised. She thought "mujhe ye karna hi hai, Nahi tho zindagi bhar mein apni aapko mooh dikha nahi sakti (I need to do this, or I will not be able face myself)...

 Slowly marching towards Anjali, Khushi took out her mothers chain, removed her bangles, with her vision blurred with the impending tears, "Anjali ji, hume poora yakeen hai isse aako ko woh ek laak rupai milenge,. Hum chalte hai,.. jiji chalo jaldi, hume yahan aur nahi rukhna, (Anjaliji, I'm sure these will amount to 1 lac. Lets go jiji, quick, I dont want to stay here anymore)

Shocked Payal literally shouted "Khushi aisi kaisi kar sakti hai tu, yeh tumari maa ki.., (Khushi how can u do this, its ur mum's..) before she could continue, Khushi ran hugging her "Jiji humari amma ko garv hoga agar uski gehne apni beti ki aatm samman rakhne ke liye kaam ayi tho, agar uska aashirvad ho to hum aise kahin aur banayenge,.. (Jiji my mum will be proud if her jewels came of use for her daughters self respect, with her blessings, I can make plenty such jewels)

Anjali could not take it any more, slowly put her hands on Khushi, handing over her jewels, "Arnav aap jara baahar jaayiye, (Arnav go out now)" ASR knew when his DI called him Arnav he could not continue and simply marched out saying "Teek hai jaisi aapki marji (Ok di ur wish)


"Khushi ji please hume maaf kar deejiye, ye leejiye aapki gehne, aap batayiye kya hai aapki shartein,.. Hume poora yakeen hai hume woh sab manjoor hoga, uske aage aapki maarji, mein aapko koi contract se nahin rokoongi.. (Khushi ji, please accept my apologies, take ur jewels, tell me ur conditions, I'm sure I will agree to all. Its up to u work or not, but I will not bind u with any contract)
