PART 7-Never Changing Relation
At Hospital:
Everyone was standing in corridor after doctor's declaration about Kalpi's state of mind, where Raghav was still trying to come out of shock he has just gone through.
Raghav: (in a determined voice) No one will tell her the truth. You all know what doctor has said, it's too risky for her to go through any shock. I already lost my family, she is alive it is enough for me.
Pakhya: (in concerned voice) But she remembers only the incidents before the day when she had a minor accident in first year of her college. There is too long time span between that day and today, what we will tell her. What story we will tell her, what she has done all these years.
Raghav: If we will tell her the truth, her next question will be where is her daughter? What we will say then, she will break down. I am going through this pain is that's enough, I can't drag her into this pain for now, specially when the news of her daughter's death can risk her life. Atleast not now, Doctor said that she will be able to take shock after 6 months, so I will decide what to tell her after 6 months.
Vitthal: Ok! No more discussion, she will live with us from now, and we will decide how to tell her truth but after she gets completely fine to handle her daughter's death.
Raghav looked at Kalpi through the glass door, who was giving confused smile to Pakhi. Pakhi was trying to distract her by talking baseless things and cracking jokes. Raghav placed his hand on door like he was trying to touch her through it.
~oOo~
At Chawl (after 3 days):
Raghav's car came in front of chawl and Kamla and Pakhi came out of it from one side. Raghav came out and opened the door for Kalpi. Kalpi came out tried to walk but she was hobbling and about to fall. Raghav got her hand saved her from falling and without wasting time, he carried her in his arms. Kalpi was shocked at this, her hands were enveloping his neck and eyes were staring Raghav without a blink. Raghav was trying to not to meet her gaze, as he has no control over his love for her, in his eyes.
Kalpi(in her mind): (while Raghav was carrying her to the room)Why I am feeling so relieved in his arms, like this is all I wanted from so many days. What is this feeling? Aayi said he is Raghav Singhania the great business tycoon whom she helped in his childhood, that is why, he is helping us. But he is doing more than a friend should do, if he is friend, why don't he behave like one, why he is always silent. From past three days whenever I looked at him he turned his eyes, and when I don't look at him he keeps staring me, he is strange.
Manda(to herself): (while looking at Raghav and Kalpi) What a luck this Kalpi have? Romance never left from her life, it's been 2 and half years since they married, now Kalpi has just left the hospital bed, and their romance restarted. What bappa? Not fare haa, please send someone in my life too, who will carry me like this, if you have no one then atleast send my husband who ran away years back?
When Raghav was keeping Kalpi on bed his eyes met with hers and he was not able to move his eyes again. During staring Raghav, when kalpi just get lost in his eyes, she haven't realized. Raghav's breath was mingling with Kalpi's breath, creating a warm sensation on each other's skin.
Everyone entered in room after few minutes and looked at them lost in each other.
Pakhya: Ahem! Ahem!
Raghav and Kalpi came to their senses and broken apart. Raghav was getting a little tensed, he left from their without any word and came to his car and stood by its support.
Raghav(in his mind): What you were doing Raghav? You have to stay away from her, you can't allow her to come near you. If she will come near you, she will come near our relation and then near to the truth of our daughter's death. You can't let this happen Raghav, you can't.
Kalpi was shocked with her own behavior.
Kalpi(in her mind): How I can be so shameless. I was staring at a man madly, when he was inches apart from me. This accident has not only done wrong with my head but also with my heart. My heart was beating so loudly when he was near me.
~oOo~.
At Night:
Raghav's heart was still in turmoil, he was worrying about Kalpi's wellbeing. He was tossing and turning in his bed, sleep was far away from his eyes. He got up and sat on the bed, picked up his phone and dialed Kamla's number but he cut the call after two rings, remembering his last words with Kamla. Kamla asked pakhya about the missed call and he informed her about Raghav's missed call, it shocked Kamla a little. The memory of last day when Raghav has talked to her, came before her eyes.
Flashback:
Kalpi was in her last month of pregnancy and was staying at Chawl as Gauri was ill and was not able to take are of her. Kamla has brought kalpi forcefully as she wanted to take care of her by herself. Kalpi was resting on bed and Kamla was busy in kitchen. Kamla's phone started ringing and she picked up the call, it was Pakhi.
Pakhi: (panicking) Kamla ma, please come to me Kamla ma, please come soon, as soon as possible to my house.
Kamla: (panicking) Pakhi! Are you alright! Pakhi.
But Kamla haven't got any reply, the call was disconnected.
Kamla(to Kalpi): Kalpi! Pakhi has called, she was sounding so horrified, I've to go.
Kalpi : Go aayi. I'll take care of myself.
Kamla: I don't want to leave you alone Kalpi. All Chawl people have gone to a religious journey, your baba is at work, pakhya is not at home. But what can I do Kalpi, if something will happen to pakhi, My eyes will never able to meet my own gaze.
Kalpi: You go aayi, I will manage for some time.
Kamla left Kalpi alone at Chawl. After sometime Kalpi got up from bed to take water but she started
having pain. Kalpi thought it was normal pain that she has faced many times during pregnancy but in few minutes, intensity of pain increased to such an extent that she was not able to stand properly. Kalpi first fell on her knees then she was lying on ground, she was having labor pain but the pain was much severe than the normal pregnancy pain. She was groaning and screaming in pain but no one was there in chawl to listen her voice. Kalpi's brain has stopped working due to pain, she was unable to open her eyes, but still she thought of calling someone through phone. She was unable to reach her phone which was on bed, she crawled to the bed and pulled the bed sheet with all her strength, left in her somehow. Kalpi's phone fallen down near her with bed sheet but she was not able to dial or search any number in that, her eyes and mind were not supporting her
. Raghav was in office meeting, he was not feeling good, again and again his head was reminding him Kalpi. So, Raghav thought of calling her and dialed her number. Kalpi's phone was in her hand, when it started ringing, Kalpi's fingers unknowingly pressed ok button. Raghav stood up on hearing groaning and screaming Kalpi, he ran to his car and headed to Chawl. He reached chawl in 10 minutes, and found his Kalpi on the ground screaming in pain terribly, he carried her to the car and headed to hospital.
At hospital Kalpi delivered a baby girl and Kamla reached there after that, she was about to go and meet kalpi but Raghav stopped her.
Raghav: (with very loud pitch) Kamla ma, you don't need to go near my Kalpi and my daughter. I respected you a lot for your goodness but you lost that respect today. How could you leave my Kalpi in such a condition alone. You know what that doctor said, she would have died if I would be few minutes late, her fetus has changed its angle. If you were not able to take care of her you should have told me before, at least my Kalpi's life would not be at risk.
Kamla: Raghav baba I.
Raghav: (interrupting in anger)Yes, I know you must have got good news of Pakhi and Sammy's marriage that's why you left my Kalpi alone to be part of happiness of your only daughter Pakhi. Better you share everything with your Pakhi. From now my Kalpi is never going to come to your home again, mark my words.
Flashback ends.
Kamla looked at her phone and dialed Raghav's number.
Kamla: Raghav baba! Kalpi is fine, she is sleeping. Don't worry I will take care that she is your
belonging and she don't go through any trouble here.
Raghav: hhmm!
And they both cut the call.
Suddenly Kalpi wakes up shouting "Anji". Kalpi was sweating and panicking, she was looking here and there as if trying to find something. Kamla came to her and caressed her.
Kamla: Kalpi! What happened Kalpi. Don't panic it was just a nightmare.
Kalpi: (Blabbering) Aa...aayi, a shadow of a baby aayi. She is crying aayi.
Kamla: (moving her hand over Kalpi's head) It was a nighmare Kalpi. No baby is here. Go t o sleep. Everything is fine.
Kamla(in her mind with tears in eyes): How to tell you Kalpi, the shadow you are having in your dream is your daughter Anjali. And she is no more.

After few days at Kapoor House:
Neetu: Chocopie! Have you done your work?
Prem: Yes mom, Kalpi used to come in the garden near Chawl for evening walk from three days. Yesterday I put the fire between her and Raghav. Raghav and Jadhav's will never tell her truth. So it is very easy to make her hate Raghav. I can't let that Raghav leave peacefully, he have to pay for every penny of our property he has taken.
Neetu: Did Kalpi believe you?
Prem: Vehicle of accident was Raghav Singhania's car , this is saved in police records and Raghav was the one who payed all her hospital bills. She has no reason to neglect the thought that for her accident Raghav was responsible and he payed all her bills to bribe her parents.
Neetu and Prem smiled at each other.

At Car Parking of Singhania construction's Office:
Raghav was putting his coat in his car, suddenly he heard a voice behind him.
Kalpi: (with attitude) Raghav Singhania! The great business tycoon haa. What do you think of yourself, just because you have money you can buy anything. How dare you pay my bills in hospital, it was your car in which my accident took place, naa. And you did pay my bills so that you can come out of this accident case. But get one thing clear, my aayi baba can melt as you saved their daughter by your money, but not me. I know very well rich brat like you, you want to be a God by doing such things but you are nothing better than a criminal.
Raghav was looking at her in shock, he has no idea what she was talking about and he has no answers for whatever charges Kalpi was giving him. But he was amused to look his Kalpi roaring on him and he kept looking her in amusement without a word.
Kalpi: Why are you staring me like this. Are you shocked how come I know your reality. Make one thing clear I will return your money by anyhow even if it takes year long time, I will never keep a favor from man like you.
A man in car parking was watching them, he was from Raghav's office. When Kalpi turned to go then the man came near Raghav.
Man(to Raghav): (with low voice)Sir, these wives naa, I tell you. They leave no chance to fight, they can start anywhere, anyhow, fighting is their favorite game. God has made such an impossible thing as wife.
Kalpi heard that man's words and she turned back to Raghav.
Kalpi(to man): Do you think I m his wife. Are you mad, from which angle you think I look like his wife?
Man: But madam(looking at Raghav who signaled him no).
Kalpi: (almost shouting) What madam? Every woman who fights is not always a wife. Keep it clearly in your head.
And Kalpi turned again to go. Raghav was watching her with a big smile on his face.
Raghav(in his mind): My lady Dabang, you can forget me but you will never forget how to make me wordless. Hope you keep coming to meet me like this, and I can always have you in fron of me without telling you the truth.
Man: (still looking at kalpi with wide eyes) Sir, how are you still alive. Your wife is lioness.
