Gaurav was in two minds. He didn't want to be part of show but watching Gajendra beg in front of him made him think otherwise. He looked at Jenny. He wondered what she was thinking. He knew she would definitely stay. Before he could say anything, she spoke, "My answer is the same. I can't be part of this show.". He was shocked so was Gajendra.
Gajendra rose up. He begged her again, "Don't do this. You need us as much as we need you. Please reconsider what you thought." She didn't change. She was firm. He was speechless. He tried every way to convince her. He even called Rohan to change her mind. After lot of discussions, she remained firm on decision. Gaurav watched silently. He hadn't expected her to quit. But he realized how she had broken up with me. She had remained firm on her decision that day like she was today.
Rohan and Jenny left. Gajendra sat with hand on his head. He was lost and pained by failure of his idea of using Jenny and Gaurav's equation in bringing his show to number one slot. He had forgotten that Gaurav was still there. "I will leave.", Gaurav spoke. Gajendra looked up, suddenly panicking. He rose up immediately. "Are you going to leave too?", he asked. Gaurav smiled and said, "Don't worry. I am not going to quit the show."
The show ran smoothly. The TRPs dropped initially with Jenny gone but rose up with great performances of contestants. Gajendra finally realized his mistake and apologized for the same from Gaurav. He forgave him and focused on the show. He took the responsibility of motivating Danny and other contestants. He was energetic and pumped up during the show. But when he came home, he would think about Jenny. He would stalk her on her social networking site account. However there was no news of her. He was worried.
One fine day , he contacted Rohan. Rohan didn't disclose anything on the phone but asked him to meet him at a cafe where they wouldn't be attacked by paparazzi. Gaurav agreed. When he arrived at the cafe, he found Rohan was already there. His eyes were swollen. He seemed like he hadn't slept for days. He hadn't shaven and was dressed in casual T shirt and jeans he had been wearing for a week.
"What happened ? You look unwell.", Gaurav asked. He was surprised to see him in this state. "Nothing ! Maybe it's the perk of working with a moody star.", Rohan laughed. Gaurav smiled and said, "How's Jenny? Since her exit from the show, I haven't seen her." Rohan's expressions became serious. "Hmmm. I don't understand you guys. You both say you have broken up and moved on. But you still hold on to each other. If it's hurting so much, why don't you get back again. Why don't you guys start again and give love one more chance if you can't move on?", he said as he got up to leave. Gaurav was shocked. He remained quiet. Before leaving, Rohan remembered something and turned behind to speak, "Anyway, she is in terrible condition. She has shut herself inside her house. She hardly comes out. I tried to convince her to do some work. I bought her interesting scripts, exciting ads and shows. But she had refused to do them. I don't know what to do. I hate to see her suffer like this. Worst part is - I don't know what's bothering her since exit of the show." He left with tears.
