Taani - fine. I got it all.
Sharon - all the best!!

Taani smiles while the D3 gang now focuses on the rehearsals and their classes.

It's sunday----

Taani has made a few changes and announces it to the team.

Taani - guys, kuch changes kiye h, jisse we can really grow our academy.
Sharon - we are all ears taani. Plz bolo..
Taani - so, starting with Visitors, hume ye limited days hi rkhna hoga, like Monday, Wednesday n Friday. Admissions honge on Tuesday and Thursday. Kuch class timings me changes h, like bhai ki class hogi from mrng 7 to 9. Vicky ki 9 to 11. Sharon ki 7 to 9. Rey ki 8 to 10. Raghav ki 8 to 10. Neha ki 7 to 8. Sneha ki 12 to 2, nil ki 1 to 3. Amar ki 1 to 3 and Bharat ki 12 to 2.

Half were happy while half were neutral.

Swayam - chlega taani. I guess hume jaise shifts btaye h wo follow krenge to hum zyada exhaust b nhi honge to classes b chlte rhenge.
Taani - right bhai. N online classes ki baat kre... To I think hume saare hi forms k online classes b start krne chahiye. As bahot se working log hote h jo offline nhi aa paate, neither time de paate h. Un k liye online classes would really help.
Rey - Ok, to us k liye kya schedule h?
Taani - us k schedules h....

She dictates their schedule n rosters.

Taani - casual leaves k liye aapko 2 din phle apply krna hoga, whereas sick leave can be applied on the same day. Isse students and academy dono ka hi loss hone se hum rok skte h.
Sharon - Hmmm... Noted.
Taani - aur guys... Mujhe lgta h hume apni Academy ko Pvt Ltd companies me list kr k ise share list me include krna chahiye. Isse humare paas liquid savings hongi jo aage ja k company ko kafi profitable ho skti h.
Swayam - jaisa tujhe thik lge behna.
Taani - thik h bhai... To mai form fill kr deti hu, isme mujhe aap k, Rey k aur Sharon k signatures lgenge.
Rey - I think, hume Taani ko power of attorney bna dena chahiye. Hume out of town k b events milte rhte h, aise me agr koi important docs sign krne hue to she is the only trustable person we have.

Taani looks at Rey in shock. Power of attorney is not a small thing for anyone. It's a huge responsibility and also the trusted one.

Taani - bt...
Swayam - I think u r right Rey. Taani, tu power of attorney add krne k liye b 1 form la de, wo b hum sign kr denge. Ok?
Taani - thik h bhai.

Soon all the papers were handed over to taani.

Taani was now hell busy with her office works as well as the academy's work.

A month passed away like a snap. The D3 gang were now gelled up with taani.

Taani had called everyone for a meeting.

Swayam - ha taani, aj k meeting ka agenda kya h?
Taani - bhai, hume kuch cities se kafi emails aa rhe h k unhe offline classes chahiye. N emails 10-20 nhi, atleast 100-150 k bulk me h.
Sharon - ok... And?
Taani - and... Now that hmari Mumbai ki Academy abi 25% profits me chl rhi h, hume D3 ki 1 franchise Ujjain me start krni chahiye.
Swayam - u mean... Humare Academy ki franchise??!!

They all looked at each other happily with tears in their eyes.

Taani - so, kya lgta h aap sb ko?
Rey - I think we should go for it.
Taani - maine Ujjain k liye flight tickets book kr di h... Bhai, aapko Sharon aur Raghav aapko Ujjain jana hoga for sight check and market research.
Swayam - aur tu?
Taani - bhai, office me kaam bahot h... Mai aa to nhi paungi, bt yhi sa jitna help ho sakega mai pura krungi.
Raghav - flight kb ki h?

Raghav looks at taani and Rey looks at Raghav and the way Raghav sees her.

Taani - flight aj raat 11 bje ki h. So aap teeno ko packing kr k 8 bje niklna hoga.
Sharon - ok. Then. Aur kuch h taani... Or that is all?
Taani - nhi, abi k liye to itna hi. Aur plz aap teeno, 1-1 cheez k pics, market research sb pta kr k mujhe email kr dena. To mai b study kr dungi.
Raghav - done.

They all leave for their work while Raghav's behavior around taani irks Rey more than anything.

At TaaYam's----

Swayam - behna, tu 3 din yha akele reh legi?
Taani - ofcourse bhai, bachi thodi na hu.
Swayam - janta hu. Bt h to tu meri chhoti behen hi na....
Taani - mai yha thik rhungi bhai. Don't worry.

Taani makes him have some dahi cheeni.

Swayam - dahi cheeni?
Taani - bhai, d3 ki phli franchise... sb kuch achha hona chahiye.

He smiles n kisses her forehead.

Swayam - khyal rkhna. Kuch b ho, Rey ko call kr dena. Mai usse keh dunga tujhe 2-3 baar aa k milte rhe.
Taani - bhai, uski zrurt nhi h. Ab aap niklo, nhi to flight k liye late ho jaega.

Soon taani's phn started ringing. It was an unknown number.

Taani - Hello?
