Ep 3: The Love & The passion

continues.......

Raghu wakes up in the morning and begins his journey back home. His parents are worried about him, having believed he had committed suicide because of the situation that day before happened. His father slaps him and demands to know where he was all night. Raghu explains that he passed out near the sea, and slept without knowing. His father scolds him and tells him never to leave the house at night without permission. Despite being illiterate, his father knows how to care for his son and tells Raghu to rest, promising to discuss his future later.

Raghu fears his father will pressure him into settling for a job again. After freshening up, his father asks about the fees for pilot training. Raghu estimates it could cost between 20 to 30 lakh rupees if he performs well. His father agrees to fund his studies, leaving Raghu wondering if it's genuine. Raghu doesn't fully understand his father, who is good at parenting but sometimes misunderstands him, and vice versa.

Raghu begins his studies with the fear of losing his dreams and Laila constantly on his mind. Years pass, and Raghu studies diligently, nearing his dream of becoming a pilot. His final examination is just two days away, and Raghu prepares rigorously. However, Laila is getting married, as he has no friends to keep him informed.

Once, Raghu goes to her house, after he knows about her wedding preparations. He confronts Laila, demanding an explanation for her decision. Laila whispers that it's not the right time to talk and asks him to leave, as her relatives are present. Raghu persists, but Laila's father intervenes, slapping Raghu and questioning his identity and background.

Frustrated and hurt, Raghu pleads with Laila to accept him, promising a bright future as a pilot. However, Laila rejects him, saying she doesn't want to live with him even if he becomes a pilot. So, get lost. Raghu leaves her house with disappointment and returns home.

When he returns home, he finds his father waiting for him. Despite feeling ashamed of his actions at Laila's house, his father doesn't say anything, having read Raghu's diary and understood his feelings.

His father instructs him to study for his upcoming examination. Raghu, however, finds it difficult to focus, consumed by thoughts of Laila. Two days later, Raghu takes his examination, but when the results are announced, he has failed. He hesitantly informs his father, who is deeply disappointed. His father reminds Raghu of the sacrifices made for his dream, including selling their property and taking a loan.

Feeling defeated and remorseful, Raghu retreats to his room, reflecting on his future and his lost love, Laila. He imagines a life as a pilot, married to Laila, but reality shatters his dreams once again. Overwhelmed by despair, Raghu falls unconscious, his mind filled with regret and longing.

When Raghu woke up, he overheard his parents whispering about his situation and their financial struggles. They seemed sad and angry with Raghu. Misunderstanding his parents' intentions, Raghu decided to leave the house, thinking, "This all happened because of me." He started a new life in another town and began preparing for examinations again. He worked at food stalls and coffee shops to stand on his own two feet. Years passed, and it was time for an interview. Raghu felt confident and eventually became a pilot.
