OKAYYY SO GUYS THIS IS A VERY LONG POST. BUT PLEASE DO READ IT! I KNOW IT IS LONG BUT STILLL.
AND IT IS NOT EDITED PROPERLY. IT HAS AROUND 3 SCENES... SO IT LIKE 3 CHAPTERS HAHAHHAA NOT SO SHORT STORY HAHAHA J
Kamla: Kalpi! Tu kahaan gayi thi? Hum sab kitna dar gaye the! Beta, tu bina bataye..
Kalpi: Aai, voh nahi aayege. Vo.. unke ghar par tala laga hua tha. Voh.. voh bina bataye...
Kamla: Kya? Kalpi ese kaise?!
Vithal: Kamla..
kamla stops herself and turns her back towards her lovely daughter who is on the verge to cry her heart out.. Kalpi goes to the washroom.
Vithal: Kamla, shant re. kalpi ko iss waqt humare sahaare ki zaroorat hai.. kal subah sab theek ho jayega
Kamla nods her head and wipes her tears..
Kalpi comes out of the washroom with red puffy eyes and goes off to sleep quietly. she doesn't say a word..
NEXT MORNING
Kalpi is standing on her terrace and looking out, wondering if her love could really do that to her.
Kamla is on her way to neetu's house but stops at seeing her daughter lost in thought..
Kamla: Kalpi? Beta kal jo bhi hua, galat hua par tu haar mat maan. zindagi mainn...
Kalpi blocks out the words of wisdom that her mother is giving her. Something feels weird. something feels odd and different. what is this? Why is her heart beating so fast? Raghav? Wait, what is happening?
Something is going on... Why is she feeling so restless?
Suddenly she hears a honk and both she and kamla look down to find raghav in the car.. everyone is excited to see their raghav baba in chawl. Vithal comes out to see what caused the commotion.
Kalpi is shocked. What is he doing here now? Where was he yesterday? What does he want now? NO! I won't let another person hurt me. How could he do this to me? I was embarrassed in front of my family and he wasn't there to defend me. I won't let my guard down this time. I won't let anyone hurt me.
Kamla and vithal go downstairs while kalpi dashes to her room.
Raghav steps out of his car and wishes kamla and vithal. they have a conversation and kamla suddenly starts crying. Kalpi, seeing all this from her window, gets angry. She can't believe raghav would first hurt her and then her mother. Angrily, she makes her way to raghav and shouts at him, "Now what do you want? Aren't you done hurting people, already?!"
Kamla: Kalpi! Tu Raghav baba se ese kyun baat kar rahi hai? In ho ne teri itni madad ki aur tu
Kalpi: Aai tu rehne de! main baat kar rahi hun na. Jiska man kare jo chahe ke jaata hai tujhe aur tu bas roti re jaati hai
Vithal: KALPI! Tu jaanti hai tu kya ke rahi hai? Tukje pata hai raghav baba ne kya kaha jiski wajah se teri aai ro rahi hai?
Kalpi looks at raghav, he looks hurt and kalpi hates to see him like this but she is angry. way too angry to even care about someone so dear to her heart...
Vithal: Beta, raghav baba tera result lekar aaye hai...
**** then they sort out everything and yayyy kalpi is happy and family hug***
Later, in the evening after kamla ma gave her special chai to eveyone in chawl as a celebration party:
Kalpi: Sir?
Raghav: hmm.. (busy having his chai...)
Kalpi: Sir.. vo main.. vo main... Sir I.. SirIAmSorry.
Raghav: What? I didn't get it..
Kalpi: Sir I am sorry.. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki aap..
Raghav: (holds her hand in his hand) Tumhe kya nahi pata tha? Ki main tumse pyaar karta hoon? ki meri zindagi tumse shuru aur tum par hi khatam hoti hai? Ki apni life ki har subah aur har raat main tumhare saath spend karna chahta hoon? Kya laga tumhe? Ki main bhag gaya? Jo aadmi zindagi bhar rishto se bhagta raha, vo fir se bhagora ho gaya? Kalpana, I love you. Aur main ye tab tak kehta rahoonga jab tak tumhe vishwaas nahi ho jata that i really do love you. I want this. Ye commitment, ye rishta, ye sab kuch. main ye sab chahta hoon.. tumhare saath. Aur main tumhe chodkar kabhi nahi jaonga. kabhi nahi. I will love you forever.
Kalpi: Forever? (her voice breaks)
Raghav: Forever and always.
Then they hug... (HAHA)
**********************************************************************************************************
Later that night, raghav and kalpi decide to tell kamla ma aabout their relationship..
Raghav: Kamla Bai?
Kamla: Arey raghav baba! aap abhi tak yahaan hai? Mujhe laga aap chale gaye hoge. main aapke liye chai banati hoon. Kalpi tu peeyegi chai?
Pakhi enters: KAMLA MA! Main aapke liye.. SIR?! aap yahaan?! Iss waqt?
Raghav: Hey Pakhi.
Kamla: Arey Pakhi tu bhi yahaan? vah aaj toh sab mandli yahaan hai. Main na sab ke liye chai banati hai.
Raghav: Kamla ma! Mujhe aapse kuch important baat karni hai. Abhi.
KAmla: acha.. toh boliye na raghav baba.
Raghav looks over to kalpi who gives him an encouraging smile and at that moment raghav's awkwardness and fear goes away. he knows that he wants that girl in his life no matter what.
Raghav: Kamla Ma.. MAin.. Main aapki beti se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Ise pehle ke aap mujhe apna decision sunaye i want... ki aap ye jaanle ki main usse khush rakhoonga... usse kabhi koi shikayat ka mauka nahi milega. Meri zindagi... main jab bhi koi aaya, usne... mujhe dard ke siva aur ...kuch nahi diya. par aapki beti ne, ...usne mujhe jeena sikhaya, Kalma Ma.. Mai... mai vo...
Kamla: Raghav Baba! bas aapko aur kuch kehne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Main samajh gayi. Meri beti bahut kuch rahegi aapke saath.Kalpi! aaj main bahut khush hoon. Aaj ek Ma ki beti ka sapna pura ho raha hai. Pakya! Ja jaldi se mithai ka dubba le ke aana! (Pakya smiles at kalpi and leaves)
Kalpi: Aai, tu khush hai na? Tujhe Raghav Sir pasand aye?
Kamla: Khush? mai bohot khush hoon! Meri pyaari Pakhi ko itna acha ladka mila hai..
************
Raghav is shocked. he notices pakhi for the first time since he started talking., She is blushing. he doesn't understand what is happening.. Pakhi looks at him and smiles coyly.. WHAT? He sees kamla ma hugging pakhi and congratulating her. he feels sick to the stomach. HE looks at Kalpana for some reaction but finds her to be in a trance. Why is she not saying anything. He glares at her thinking that maybe somehow kalpana would feel his stare and react. but no. kalpana doesn't even move. What is she doing? Why is she not saying anything? How can kamla ma assume that I was talking about pakhi, I was talking about her daughter...
When everyone (gauri is not present I don't know where she is) was busy congratulating pakhi and raghav is busy staring at kalpana..
Kalpana is reliving every moment from day 1 to now, where her Aai always kept pakhi first over her own daughter. She relived the lake scene. After what seemed like a lifetime, she met with those eyes that had stared at her for so long. She knew what he was thinking. She was humiliated. Now even raghav knew what status she had in her own family.. Kalpana felt like laughing at her situation and she would have had it not been so serious..
Raghav pleaded with his eyes. He asked her to do something.. to react and not stand like a statue! Kalpana slowly nodded and walked over to her Aai.
"Aai?"
"Kalpi! Jan a dekh kea a pakya kaahan reh gaya! Abhu tak to aa jana chahiye that use. Pakhi, hum na sabse pehle mummyji kp batayege. Voh kitni khush hogi na"
Kalpana looked over at raghav.. "Aai"
"Ek minute kalpi!"
"Aai, meri baat to sun.."
"Pakhi! Tune mujhe bataya kyun nahi...
"AAI!"
Kamla and pakhi stop talking and look at kalpi who is in tears. Raghav turns his back towards them. He can't see Kalpi like this...
"Aai, meri baat sun. Aai, main.."
"Kya hua Kalpi? Tu rokyun rahi hai?"
Kalpana lost it. She couldn't stop her hysteria. She started crying and couldn't believe the irony of her situation. She couldn't take it anymore... All her emotions took an overload and she gave in to those scars that were given to her by none other than her own Mother.. She fell on her knees and started sobbing. She knew this would hurt her kamla ma because pakhi would be hurt. She knew this was the end to everything. She could foresee everything.
Suddenly RAGHAV's arms her around her and hugging her. She turned her face to his chest and held on to him for support. He stood up and kalpana clutched him like he was her anchor. She knew if he didn't hold her, she will fall.
Raghav: Kamla Ma? Main aapki beti se pyaar karta hoon. Aaapki beti jiska naam Kalpana Jadhav hai.
