Chapter 7: chapter 7

After returning to the flat, the success stories of the old students keep resonating in everyone's mind. All the friends talk on this topic and think about what they should do something in their life. But where to start? Because everyone has to go with their own family and on the other hand, will their family also support them? That was the big question.Priya says that we should start with the work that we like best, that we like the most. Then everyone remembers the things of their hostel. Rachel had a hobby of singing, while Sana had a hobby of writing. Simran had a hobby of cooking, then Priya had a hobby of traveling.The four friends think about how to pursue their hobbies. Then Nikhil comes back home after doing job. Priya discusses this with Nikhil because Nikhil has experience in marketing. Nikhil listens to everyone and assures everyone that he will definitely think about it and find some solution.First of all, Nikhil takes over Sana's work. They both go to different publication houses and meet publishers. Holds meetings with publishers about Sana's articles, poems and stories, but all publishers tell them that they will read everything in detail, investigate and make their decision later but Nikhil and Sana do not give up. Nikhil digitizes Sana's poems and articles and publishes it in different online publications sites and tells Sana to be patient.In this way, He takes Rachel to different places in the city where there are singing competitions or reality shows to help her. He tells Rachel how to participate in a singing competition or reality show.He downloads many online singing applications to Rachel's mobile and teaches her how to sing in it. Rachel's confidence level increases with online singing but Rachel does not get much success from it.On this side, Simran also goes with Priya to different places to participate in cooking competitions. Nikhil shows Simran different channels of foods on youtube and says Simran to learn how to make new cooking dishes from these videos. Later, Simran feeds everyone by making new dishes every day but till now Simran does not get much success in the cooking competition.Nikhil and Priya explain to the three of them that success is not so easy, it takes a lots of hard struggle, maybe even failure in the beginning, but one day of success by sticking to your intention will definitely get it.Seeing this, 1 week passes. Sana gets a call from her parents' house that you got a job there? If not, then come back home. Then Sana explains to her parents that she will get a job in a few days, if she does not get a job then she will come back. After explaining to her parents, she keeps the phone, but a commotion would start in her mind that she should stay here to find a job or go back to her home.On this side, David calls Rachel and tells her to forget everything and come back home, he is also ready to make a fresh start towards forgetting everything. Rachel then asks him for some time to think.On this side, Simran's husband Gurucharan and her mother-in-law and father-in-law also call Simran to come back home.Confusion arises in the minds of the three as to what to do now? On one side there is family, on the other side their happiness, on one side there is a stressful life, on the other side there is unknown hope, on one side there is sadness, on the other side there is love of strangers. Today their life had come to a standstill where they had to choose one. Let everyone go to their own home and live the same old life or forget everything and choose a new path and move forward on that path.All three friends feel that life has given her a golden chance. They may not get such an opportunity again in their life, so why not use this opportunity to make their life successful. Which will give them back the self-esteem and self-reliance which they had almost lost. They decide to move forward with full determination. Priya and Nikhil also respect and support their decision.Rachel calls David and announces her decision in clear words that she will not return at home until something happens in her life. David then tells her to be ready for divorce in a threatening tone and hangs up the phone. Rachel's eyes fill with tears when she hears about the divorce because somewhere she still loves David and wants her husband's support. Priya and her friends calm her down by reassuring her.On the other hand, Simran also calls her home and tells Gurucharan and her in-laws that she wants to be a master in cooking so she wants to stay in Mumbai for 3-4 months for a cooking course and seeks permission from Gurucharan to stay. Then Gurucharan gets angry and asks Simran to return to his house immediately. Simran also says with a firm heart that she will stay in Mumbai till she becomes an expert in cooking. Then what was, The volcano of Gurucharan's anger erupts, he threatens Simran by telling the truth that if you do not return home from there immediately, the result will not be good, saying that he hangs up the phone. The stream of Ganga Jamuna starts flowing from Simran's eyes then Priya and her friends assure her that everything will be fine in time.The four friends think together what to do next? Nikhil then guides her to start working at the grassroots level to cover her expenses first, later they can go ahead on her own. All four think that Nikhil's point of view seems to be right.Nikhil tells everyone that Simran cooks very good food and has learned to make new dishes, so why do you not open a small dhaba or hotel in a good place? Nowadays there is a huge demand for food in hotels where parcel facilities are available. Infect a friend of mine has a hotel in a very good area, which has been closed for a long time, so he will rent a hotel to us even at a low rent. Its space is small but it’s convenient place for parcel facilities.Simran tells Nikhil that everything is fine but where will the money come from for the rent of the hotel, for it’s furniture and for the goods of the hotel? Then Priya explains the solution to that problem and says that nowadays the government provides loans at very low interest for start up business people so it is her responsibility to get a loan from a bank.Rachel says that she can design the interior of the shop, as well as handle the cash counter of the shop. It’s her responsibility to keep hotel’s accounts.Sana tells everyone that she has done a lot of events so she can take care of the events staff, the hotel staff and handle outside orders. Hearing this, a smile appears on everyone's face.Later, Nikhil takes everyone to his friend's hotel which was closed. The shop was very small for the hotel but it was a great place for food parcels. The surrounding area is also very good, there are people with job profession and family living nearby.Priya submits the documents of the four friends to the bank for the loan and applies for the loan. In a few days, the loan for start up is passed from the bank and everyone goes to work on their own. Simran and Priya buy all the essentials for the hotel. Rachel designs the interior of the shop in such a way that it can provide the best food parcel facility in the least amount of space.Sana and Nikhil go to meet Nikhil's friend circle together to promote their restaurant. All wedding service in and around the area, meet with them and tell about their restaurant and even tie up with some people, according to which they have the responsibility to supply food for every function. Sana and Nikhil also arrange staff for the restaurants.On this side, Simran has a kind of restlessness. She keeps thinking what will be the next step of Gurucharan and her thinking proves to be right. Gurucharan arrives at Priya's house in Mumbai to pick up Simran and his son. Everyone tries to explain Gurucharan together but Gurucharan is not ready to listen to anyone. He advises everyone not to interfere in their personal life.Simran tells Gurucharan about the restaurant which is her years old dream and she tries to makes understands to Gurucharan that these people are helping her. She tells Gurucharan that if her restaurant does not run within 6 months, she will return to her home, but Gurucharan has the same tune in his mind that Simran and his son should return home.On this side, Simran also resolutely tells Gurucharan her decision that she will not come back home until she becomes something in life. Then Gurucharan turns volcano with anger and he goes to raise his hand over Simran then Nikhil stops his hand and tells him to leave his house. Then Gurucharan abuses, quarrels and makes fun of everyone. When his actions have no effect on Simran, he forcibly snatches his son from Simran and tries to go.Simran and all the people tried hard to convince him by joining hands and feet in front of him but Gurucharan threatens to see everyone and leaves to priya’s home with his son.After parting from his son, Simran cries and becomes ill. How will her son live without her? Thinking this, she goes crazy. Then Nikhil and her friends calm her down and tell her to drop the restaurant idea and return to her house. Simran becomes healthy with everyone's assurance and asks for a night to think about it. Everyone gives her courage and reassurance and says that whatever her decision they have will be valid for everyone.As soon as it is morning, Simran announces her decision with a heavy heart and says that everyone has worked hard for the restaurant, given their precious time and put everything at stake, on such an occasion I cannot take my steps back. My son will stay with my mother-in-law and father-in-law, he has grown up with them anyway. We people will probably not get such an opportunity again so we will all continue to open this restaurant together, no matter how many exams we have to go through for it. Everyone welcomes Simran's enthusiasm and passion with applause.After 10-15 days, Simran's restaurant "Simran da Dhaba" is seems be ready to open.

Then the police also gets surprised then Simran says that Gurucharan is her husband, no matter how badly he treats her, she will not allow any bad treatment to happen to him. Listening to Simran's words, Gurucharan and his friends realize their mistake. His head bows down in shame and they all leave quietly.Simran returns to the flat and becomes very sad and frustrated by her husband's actions. Streams of tears flow from her eyes and she bursts into tears, then Nikhil and her friends give her courage and confidence that we will all work together to set up the restaurant again and will take it to the heights of success.Everyone forgets the old things and starts fulfilling their dreams again.
