Episode 3

That night, Arohi runs through the events of the day in her mind and wonders why it all happened the way it did. At 4am, Arohi goes to a lake near Shimla like she does every year on her mother's birthday. Every year she makes a wish for her and her family and tosses it is the lake. This time around, she prays to her mother to give her whatever she wishes to, as a gift. She tosses the coin but instead of falling in the water, it falls on the ground and starts rolling towards the jungle.

Arohi follows the coin and just when she is about to pick it up and leave, she hears a sweet tune in the jungle. She sees the person playing it but can't see his face. That man is none other than Arjun. Just then, with a screeching sound, an injured puppy falls on the ground near Arjun. Arjun tears his scarf and nurses the puppy, hands it over to his driver and tells him to take him to the hospital. His driver resists saying they shouldn't separate a mother from her child but Arjun tells him that he doesn't have faith in motherly love as much as he has in science and medication.

Unaware of this side of Arjun, Arohi wonders how kind and soft-hearted the person is who took care of the puppy. She then prays to her mother to give that man whatever he wants, and tosses the coin in the lake. Hariprasad and Arohi wait outside the Punj-Mittal mansion for 5 hours without being asked for a glass of water, when on the other hand, their pets are given utmost attention. Arohi and Hariprasad don't lose patience. Arohi's eyes are suddenly hurt by a glare caused by someone's watch. That someone is none other than Arjun. Little did Arjun know at that point of time, that the girl, unseen by him, standing below his mansion, will be the very purpose of his life some day.

Next morning, Arohi and Hari Prasad leave for Punj Mansion where they have an appointment with Mr. D.K. Punj. On their way they meet bua, who is a self-proclaimed match maker and her aim in life is to see Hariprasad's 4 girls settled.

After a tiresome wait of 5 hours in the scorching heat without a drop of water, they are called inside. Mittal tells D.K. Punj about Hari Prasad and that he is a very useful man for them. He is famous not just in Shimla but also in all neighboring cities. They have to get him on their side.

D.K. makes an offer to Hari Prasad to sing in the function held at his place that night and he will pay him more than his 2 years' salary. Hariprasad flatly refuses saying he shares his art but doesn't sell it. Everyone is stunned at his reply. D.K. tells Mittal they have to be very careful with this man because he has immense self-respect and isn't scared of anyone. But right now, they have to find his weakness to get him under control.
