PART 22
As Kalpana and Raghav walk hand in hand into the mansion later that evening Tanya stops them and pulls Raghav aside.
"Bro, did you confess?" she asked him immediately once Kalpi was out of earshot.
Raghav smirked. "Not only did I confess but so did she" he replied.
"Really?" Tanya said taken a bit by surprise. She hadn't expected that Kalpana would accept the proposal so easily. "Wow.. that was easy! Great!" she said patting her brother on the shoulder. "Awesome job bro" she remarked.
"That I know" Raghav said as he grinned.
Then suddenly as Kalpana was coming towards with a shy smile on her lips, Tanya blurts out, "Kalpii!!!" She immediately races to hug her. "I am so happy for you, you know that?? You and Bhai confessed!"
The already blushing Kalpi was tomato red by now. As she blushed furiously she just said, "How could I reject such a great person?"
"You know guys this is awesome. Marriage. Kids. Your life will be perfect!" Tanya told them both.
On this Kalpana raises her eyebrows a bit and looks at Raghav confusedly.
"Oh no Tanya.." Raghav said quickly. "Right now we've both decided that Kalpi and I will focus on our career."
"Acha.." Tanya said a little disappointed. "Well, I guess I see where you both are coming from" she said understandingly.
"Thanks for understanding.." Kalpi starts to say, but Tanya brushes it off. "It's cool!"

The next morning, Kalpana wakes up to the smell of freshly baked cookies. "Mmm.." she exclaims as she sits up on her bed. "Chocolate chip cookies!"
She is just about to get off from her bed when Raghav comes rushing into her room with a plate of cookies and some milk.
"Don't get up" he ordered as he sat down besides her. "You know what? I made some cookies for you today" Raghav said brightly.
Kalpana's eyes widen in shock. "No Raghav.. don't tell me..."
"Yes Kalpi, isn't it amazing?" Raghav said obviously pleased with himself.
"But Raghav.. are you sure they taste okay?" Kalpi asked him, just to make sure.
"Oh yes.. years of personal experience" Raghav boasted.
"Okay.. let me try" she says taking a piece. As she takes a bite into it her grin vanishes.
"What?" Raghav asked her as he observed her expressions.
Kalpana quickly swallowed and struggled to smile. She snatched the glass of milk from him and took a few gulps of it.
"Raghav..." she said exasperatedly. "Are you sure you followed the recipe?"
"Oh definitely!" Raghav exclaimed. "In fact, I don't even need it now, like I said, personal experience."
"Personal ..experience.." Kalpana repeated slowly as if trying to figure out something.
"Why, isn't it delicious?" Raghav asked her expectantly.
"Maybe it would've had you not burnt them" Kalpana said taking a cookie and showing him the bottom.
Raghav let out a sigh as he saw. "You see.. that can sometimes happen" he told her. "I swear, I only was a few seconds-" He paused to look at a glaring Kalpi. "Okay fine, minutes late but then I was back!"
Kalpana managed a chuckle as she took another cookie and dipped it into her milk.
"Mmm.." she said as she savored the taste.
"How can you eat that" Raghav asked her.
"Raghav.. I told you what was wrong with the cookie because I would never lie to you, not only for the smallest of matters, but now I think I have the right to enjoy the cookies my Raghav has made for me?"
A smile appeared on Raghav's face. "Your Raghav?" he asked her teasingly.
"Yes my Raghav!" she said giving him a pointed look. "Do you object Mr.?" "That I enjoy my Raghav's cookies?"
"No Mam, not at all" Raghav said as he laughed. "Okay Kalpi, I better be off to shoot. I think I am already late." he said as he got up.
This only added to Kalpana's anger. "What!"
Raghav watched as she jumped out of bed and pushed him out of her room saying things like "he's mixing personal and professional life together." or "he can't be late because of me!"
"She was being so rude!" Sonia complained to Durga, Kalpi's onscreen mother. Durga blinked her eyes a couple of times making sure that the eye shadowing looked fine.
"Sonia.." she spoke. She turned around to put her arms on Sonia's shoulders.
"Oh my poor girl" Durga fussed over Sonia as she sat her down. "Look, now even your make up is spoiled" Durga said. "Let me fix it."
Meanwhile, Sonia told Durga all about Kalpana's attitude and finally revealed that she is dating THE Raghav Singhania.
"How can that girl even know Raghav Singhania?" Durga said in shock. "Very surprising.." "And secondly, we have to do something about her attitude and position, or else we'll only remain supporting characters the rest of our lives."
Sonia nodded while Durga patted her head. "And you poor child, deserve the main role more than Kalpana Jadhav does."
"Oh look!" Pakhya exclaimed as he turned onto the show that Kalpana had told him about. "There she is Baba."
Vitthal's face brightens for the first time in days as he sees his princess onscreen.
"She looks so wonderful!" Vitthal exclaimed. "Our Rajkumaari" he told Kamla who was knitting a sweater with her hands.
Kamla made a show of setting down her supplies and then looking up at the screen.
"So she made it into the show, eh?" she said, sounding not too impressed.
In fact, Vitthal was surprised to notice that Kamla didn't react to seeing Kalpana in days at all.
"Mom, aren't you happy to see our princess?" Pakhya asked.
Kamla ignored him and went back to knitting.
"Leave it be Pakhya" Vitthal said angrily. "Never will this lady change."

Later that day, Kalpana is working quite hard on a scene when the director signals, "Cut!"
Kalpana feels quite annoyed as she and Rocky were finally nailing down the scene.
"What is it Bhaiya.." she hollered.
"Sonia.." he mouthed, and Kalpana turned over to look.
Sonia who was glittering from head to toe with all that fashionable make up was smiling at them all.
Sonia rested her hand on her hip and made a pose. "How do I look?" she asked them all.
"Great! So great that we are happy that you interrupted our scene and diverted our focus!" Kalpana said sarcastically. "Seriously girl, go remove all that make-up! Your scene requires for you to be innocent, not.. silly."
Sonia gasps, obviously offended by Kalpana's words. "How dare you!" she croaked out. "How dare you insult me so?! and that too in front of everyone?! I will not spare you!" she added before marching off towards Durga's room.
Kalpana shook her head and said, "Bhaiyya, let's start the scene again."
