Divya's immense trust in Vimal, motivated her to tell him about her newly written novel and publisher's positive response regarding publishing her novel.

Big league's writer Vimal was astonished to see Divya's novel- 'Love Impossible.' She wrote an epic story in just 75 thousand words, on the other hand, Vimal himself would have used more than 100 thousand words to write such a big saga of love.

The story line of 'Love Impossible,' was so intriguing, that no readers could escape from the magic of it. Vimal has gone through the manuscript of the novel several times but there was no flaw in the story of the novel.

"She used to be just a short story teller, how could she write this big novel?" —said Vimal placing the 'Love Impossible,' manuscript on the desk of 'Sunshine publishers' owner Damodar Gupta.

"Vimal Ji she is your protégé, we could expect a novel of your capacity from her as well......" —said Damodar Gupta looking at the big writer of his publishing house.

"Nonsense, did you find this novel of my standard?"

"Not actually, but she did well......"

"Can you sell this novel?"

"I think this girl really know what the youth of this country want to read."

"Really? Okay do you want me to continue writing for your publishing house?" —asked Vimal looking at confused Damodar Gupta.

"Sure, do we have any problem?"

"Yes, 'Divine Publishers' is offering a better deal for my next novel." —said Vimal in a relaxed voice.

"What are you talking about, we have a deal for your next 10 novels......" —blurted Damodar Gupta.

"Just a vocal deal, which I could break anytime I wish......" —said Vimal.

"Why are you getting angry sir? What do you want me to do for you?" —pleaded Damodar Gupta.

"Nothing much, just dump 'Love Impossible,' and let Divya know that the previous correspondence was just meant for someone else, her name and her book's name was typed by mistake. Her novel was just a heap of papers, she should try something else but not writing." —said Vimal blatantly.

"I'll do it right now but don't talk like that, I'll give you whatever was offered by Devine Publishers." —said Damodar Gupta, throwing Divya's novel 'Love Impossible' in a waste paper basket.
