Jenny accepted Gaurav's apology without any drama. There was no arguments when Pinky was selected as the backup dancer though Pinky wasn't happy with this development. The auditions took place smoothly with no issues. That irked Gajendra. He had no footage to enhance the TRP for the next episode.
The shoot ended. Everyone were busy packing up and getting things ready for next day shoot which was going to take place in new city. Gaurav had changed into casual T shirt and jeans. He was waiting for the cab to pick him up. Jenny was in vanity room. She was deciding whether to confront Gaurav about how guilty she was feeling right now. She was burdened with guilt. She knew she was wrong but she was worried how Gaurav would react. Every time she got ready to confront him, she felt anxious.
Finally she got over her fears, she walked out confidently. When she came closer to Gaurav, she felt her heart beat faster. He turned around and watched her staring at him. She wanted to say what she planned to say. But she was numb. When she tried to say something, his cab arrived. He didn't wait. He assumed she wanted to taunt him about something he never remembered he did. He didn't ask her if she wanted to join. She wanted to join him but she didn't get in because he didn't ask her. She thought it wasn't wise to get inside his car without any offer from him to join in.
She stood while the car left. However another car arrived immediately to pick her up. She got in. Her eyes turned red. The thought of not conveying him how sorry she was made her feel more sad. She looked at the driver suspiciously staring her at from the rear view mirror. He sensed that there was something wrong. She quickly took out her shades and wore them. He got back to driving as soon as he understood she wasn't ready to share her pain.
During journey, Gaurav couldn't get his mind over Jenny's eyes. They had restlessness and pain in them. "Maybe she wanted to say something important. Maybe she didn't want to taunt me. What was it she wanted to say?", he wondered. When he reached the hotel, he waited at the lobby. She arrived after few minutes. He watched her rushing towards the lift. Before he could reach her, she was gone. The passerbys watched them enthusiastically. Everyone knew their equation well through the constant promos of the dance show and the media speculation.
Gaurav brushed his hair with his hand. He closed his eyes with disappointment. He took the next lift to his floor. If things were like how it was in past, he would have rushed towards her room by now and asked her what was troubling her. He would have made her felt better. But things were different now. They weren't together anymore. He had no right on her. This made him feel miserable.
