Shally was on hike when she spoke to Rakshita. She told very soon she will be moving to the same city as Rakshita's as to take up her next Landscaping project . Shally is a freelance landscaper , she basically completed her graduation in architecturing and specialized her skills in landscaping . So when left the place, she  was hanging out with Nikita and Rakshita , it was due to a call from her former client . He then introduced her to another big company called JDS groups, a giant in commercial market is developing they new foundation in Coimbatore city. It is owned by an billionaire called Jash . Jash is a ruthless businessman but by looking at Shally's portfolio he was amazed than impressed . He immediately offered her the project for landscaping his newly built company in the city . The timeline of the project six months . So Shally is eventually going be in coimbatore for the next six months .Rakshita jumped in joy hearing the news. She asked Shally to stay with her but shally refused indicating She already said okay for accomodation in the nearby flat of her office . Since its already a huge project and she has been promised to land up on even more bigger one in paris , if she completes this successfully . So staying in office Parameters seems to be the right decision to her . Other than that , meeting Sachin everyday would distract her and not knowing about his feelings towards her is already an enough heartache to begin with. When she saw him holding another woman , her heart literally shattered in to pieces . Yet the convinced herself , reminding that they both weren't anything exclusive . Their dance was intimate and she could feel the pull between them . But still this can be just a physical attraction . Though her heart disagrees with her . She shushed it indicating not to get hurt in future . As she already know the pain of losing loved ones . Rakshita's  excited voice brought Shally back to reality . They both did plans to meet regularly and what are the things Shally would need for her new flat and so on . At dinner , Rakshita broke the news to everyone about Shally's new project and her stay in the city. All were glad and Sachin was immensely happy. Ragav told Rakshita to make her stay here at their house . Rakshita said about her disapproval , Ragav just nodded his head . Nikita already started planning to make coincidental dates for her second brother. Sachin's happiness felt no bounds. He was  floating above the clouds . But his face was intact without any outward expression.He thought to take care of Shally and reveal his true feelings for her . He wanted to see were their relationship might take off . Ragav cleared his throat to get his families attention . He announced that their family is going to take part in an important meeting to strengthen their foundation. It is a deal to be gained from a Russian originated company . Though an Indian owns it , they first started its main branch with a partnership from Russia.The current president is a thought nut to crack  and there is a huge competition in acquiring the deal already. Many giant firms are taking part . As Rakesh is taking care of their educational institutions , Sachin is the CEO of their commercial firm . Rakesh would stand as a backbone to achieve their deal . Main players will be Sachin and  Shreya, who is going to take the position of CFO of The SK Groups . Rakshita was astound on hearing this. Shreya would join the company from the beginning of next week . So Ragv said Sachin to be prepared for this big game . All four looked at each other before leaving the table . Rakesh and Rakshita were in their room discussing about shreya . Rakesh consoled her, telling that Shreya would be fine after having some lone time , also said that she is extremely professional when comes to work. So she should be fine by next week. Nikita went to her dad's room to talk with him before he goes to sleep.She has made it as a habit, since he is getting old and is very lonely at this age . They used to talk about random things before she puts him in sleep . Once back in his cocoon , Sachin again started thinking about shally . The places he wanted to take her and  things he wanted to tell her , everything occupied his mind . He wouldn't turn even his name is called like hundred times . But Shally's being said once , he had immediately perk up toward that direction . Of all the things happening . Shreya isthe one mopping around the farm house the whole week . The whole lot of crying and pep talks towards herself had somehow cleared her mind , not completely , but to a certain extent . She decided , she don't want Rakesh anymore.The one who did not understand the value of her love is not worth crying for.Yet , he is family and she has to meet him in work as well as at gatherings . So , those times she would treat him like any other family member , a third person . Easy to say than to be  done . The final step to remove him from her entire system is to give up herself to someone .Although she is very traditional and not interested in having flings or one night stands. That seems to be the only appropriate option at the moment. So instead of weeping her eyes out, she stood up, showered and dressed herself extra glamorously, which is an extra perk to gain more attention. She booked a cab and left the house to a crowded pub in the city. As soon as she got down and entered the pub with loud music and bodies swaying so closely, she lost her nerves. Yet she is still determined in fulfilling her wish. So to perk her up, she went to the bar and had cocktails, which burned her throat as well as her fears. But never did she imagined about the incident that took place that night might make a whole lot of changes to her both her personal and professional life.
