Chapter 1~
Now since I am quite busy, I decided that although I have made up quite a bit of ff, I think it's best if I just start posting my ff, even if it means that not everything is in order.
Anyways, here is the 1st piece of it,
Prem starts having romantic feelings for Kalpi sometime during the time she is the surrogate for Raghav & Paakhi- right after she saves his life from a crazy Prem fan girl & although he feels embarrassed about being saved by a girl, he tells Kalpi after he confesses his love to her that he'll one day save her & he saves her in a big way by delivering his nephew on a stormy night not long after his car breaks down. It's only after this at this time of him saving her that she falls for him. Later on, they basically have conflict between them regarding marriage. This conflict really tears at them because they both think they are better off not being married to each other even though the feelings they have for each other are not lessening. One day while Kalpi comes to his house & tells him that she is not interested in being w/him unless he will marry her. She says that although she is has been keeping away from him lately- it's partly because she never fully felt that he's the one for her, partly because of their not so rosy past (I'm thinking about the show so far for example and that he already rejected her when it came to marrying her a few weeks ago in my ff) she is willing to be w/ him on one condition. She tells him this,
Kalpi: "Are you willing to give not just 1 dance, not just two secret dates, not just a few kisses & some warms hugs, help me get ready for a a big event not just a few times"
Prem: "I also gave u... Just 1 sari..
Kalpi: I don't care much for gifts (she interrupts). Besides, it was understandable that we didn't have too many of these moments. As weird as this may sound, I wouldn't mind feeling everything I felt with u & experienced w/u for the rest of my life. Like whatever emotions when through my head when u delivered Rajini if you're willing to marry a chawlwali girl who comes from a more poor family.
Prem had this sad look on his face, his eyes watering, he looked down, feeling bad about all that he put her family through in the past, then looked up & saw that Kalpi was gone. He pinched himself, to make sure her asking him to be w/her on the condition of marriage wasn't a dream & then called out her name. He went down the stairs still calling out her name, when he got to the foot of the stairs, Neetu asked him if he had too much to drink since he is calling Kalpi's name like this. He ignored her & got out the door, & called out her name again. Once he called out her name again he felt drops of water all over him. He stood out in the rain for moment, then went down on his knees crying.
One day, during a party at the Kapoor household, celebrating Rajini's birth. He takes her outside to a secluded place not far from his backyard
K: Why did you take me here? Although it's beautiful.
P: I know
K: Why? (groaning).
P: I want to give you more of everything u mentioned that day.
Kalpi thought to herself, am I dreaming right now?
Prem got down on one knee & popped out a sparkling diamond ring.
"Are you willing to marry a rich, kinda bratty businessman who you never thought u would ever fall for?"
K: Just kinda bratty...
P: Ya, I... I know
Kalpi put her arms around him, adding to the list,
K: spoilt, born w/a silver spoon in his mouth
"Okay, okay, so I am all those things"
"Yes, I will. I will marry you!"
Prem slipped the ring onto her perfectly French manicured finger & lifted Kalpi & twirled her in the air. As Prem slowly set her to the ground. Their noses touched & then their lips.
Chapter 2~
I made up some ff that takes place sometime post Prem & Kalpi's marriage. Prem takes Kalpi to Dr Deshmukh who is both a therapist & psychiatrist & she diagnoses Kalpi w/a more mild form of post-partum depression & tells them that her condition could worsen if she doesn't get proper treatment. After Prem and Kalpi come home, Neetu finds the receipt which has the cost of the therapy session and the cost of Kalpi's medication & confronts Prem about the cost.
N: Look at how much is on this receipt Prem.
P: What's wrong mom?
N: Look at how much all this is costing you? I am assuming you paid for it.
P: I did mom! I went to the best mental physician in town- Dr. Deshmukh.
N: I don't know about all this Prem. Your busy at work. Kalpi has this.. this mental case, think about Priyanka
P: It's post-partum depression mom! Fortunately, it's not severe.
N: What happens if it becomes severe Prem?
Prem put his head down, feeling like his world was slowly crumbling down. All he wanted was for Kalpi to be happy. His eyes started to water. Then he saw Kalpi coming down the stairs in a matching robe & gown.
K: I heard everything
K: You don't need to worry about me Neetu aunty. I'm going to take my medication on time & try to be more positive.
N: You better Kalpi. You see Prem isn't like your father. You cannot afford to not take much care of your daughter & have Prem be like a stay at home dad.
K: Enough is enough! Don't say anything more about my family. I know my...
Kalpi didn't feel like she could finish the rest of her sentence. She knew her responsibilities, including her responsibility to her baby girl
N: What Kalpi? Cat caught your tongue.
P: Leave her alone mom! Right now, Kalpi needs extra support & I know you don't like how much money went to the medication, this appointment, & there is going to be at least a few more appointments in future but I am concerned about her. I'm concerned about MY WIFE!
By this time, Prem was yelling at Neetu. Kalpi was afraid that she might end up being a burden in the house as she went up the stairs. She closed the bedroom door shut. Part of her wanted to leave Kapoor Niwas because she was afraid she would end up feeling like a burden due to her post-partum but how would leaving help much. She would be away from Prem who she couldn't afford to be away from. Kalpi looked up & saw Prem entering the room. Prem saw tear roll down Kalpi's face. He went over to her wiped the tear & held her close to his chest. Kalpi wrapped her arms around him.
P: We're going to get through this, okay?
K: Okay
Their embrace got interrupted when they heard Priyanka crying. Kalpi told Prem to not to go anywhere. Prem started to say he was thinking about checking out the venue for the next business party.
K: Do you have to do it today?
P: No
K: Then stay right here.
P: Ok.. U are kinda creeping me out right now.
Kalpi closed the door and tended to Priyanka. After she put placed her back in her crib. She stared at her, while she lay in her crib, fast asleep, thinking how now there is another person in her life that she cannot afford to let down- her daughter. She went back to the bedroom and saw Prem lying on the bed.
P: Is she sleeping?
K: Yes.
Kalpi took off her robe & lay down on top of Prem. While they cuddled, Kalpi revealed the reason as to why she wanted him to stay in the house for sometime today.
K: Do u wanna know why I want u stay at home for some time today?
P: Why?
K: Because I want to... I want to make love to you.
P: You're in a naughty mood.
K: Yes I am
They made love.
Not long after making love, Kalpi was in deep thought while resting her head against Prem's chest. She fellt like her life was so much more at ease before the day she saw Prem in a drunken state, running his fingers through her hair, saying that she had such pretty eyes & he could just stare into them. That was the first time she felt that he might have a more than a friend feeling towards her. Ever since then her life turned into more of a roller coaster ride. She heard a lightning outside, getting reminded about the day he delivered Rajini (Ragav & Paakhi's son) that stormy night. She caressed her nose against his bare shoulder, getting a whif of his cologne. Being reminded of how sometime after she started dating Prem in secret how angry her parents, especially her mom got when she smelt of this very same fragrance.
"At least she ended up accepting us." Kalpi whispered.
