Part 4- Got All The Rights?
Raghav was going restless in his home, no idea was striking in his head, how to find his wife and mom. Finding himself helpless, he called Sammy. Sammy got up from bed with sleepy eyes, looking at his phone thought, Raghav, this early, now what is it.
Sammy : Hello! Before you warn me about anything else, let me confirm, I've planned only Alarm prank, and for that I already helped you to off them, I am not behind any other prank.
Raghav : (Irritated) Will you shut up Sammy. I am not in a mood to talk about silly pranks. It's about mom and Kalpi, they are missing.
Sammy : (Teasingly) What you have done with Kalpi at night, Raghav, that she started hiding from you.
Raghav : (tensed) It's not matter of fun Sammy, look at the time its 6:15, mom and Kalpi both were not at home, since I woke up, I tried to call them but their phones are coming switched off. And I don't know how to find them.
Sammy : Relax! Raghav calm down, there must be a reason , they must be fine, wait for some time.
Raghav : I hope so Sammy, you know it's not easy for me to be calm when two most important people in my life are missing, and when I know, I have made a long list of enemies in last year, who are just waiting to destroy me at any moment, anyhow.
Sammy : Compose yourself Raghav, they must be fine. Now when you already started believing in god, then have faith in him, nothing will go wrong.
And then both cut the call, but both of them were not satisfied of well being of Kalpi and Gauri.

At Temple:
Kalpi : I am feeling very good mom, to start my new life with Bappa's blessing, thank you for, you allowed me to come with you.
Gauri : You are really stubborn, I told you to have peaceful sleep on your first night, but you. Anyways if you are happy then I don't mind. I promised Bappa that when my Chintu's wish will be fulfilled I will come to this temple of Bappa, walking by bare feet. And you were the only and the biggest wish of my Chintu, now he has you in his life, so I kept my promise without being late.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conversation was going on, Suddenly they saw there Kamla, who was buying flowers for Bappa, at flowers shop outside the temple campus.
Kalpi : (Murmuring) Aayi.
Gauri : You still want to meet her Kalpi, after what she did yesterday, how could she miss your "Kanyadaan", and specially for that Pakhi. Kamla is a very kind I know, but how could she take you forgranted in front of Pakhi. You never complain that's why she repeats this mistake, if you will ignore her than she will understand your importance.
Kalpi : Mom, Keeping Pakhi at her priority it's my Aayi's nature, like scorpions nature is to bite, bee's nature is to stink , flower's nature is to bloom , sun's nature is to rise and set, so as my Aayi's
nature is to chose Pakhi over me always, if everyone is behaving according to their nature, why would I , not behave according to my nature, which is to forget the bitter experience and move on with good memories.
Gauri : I proud to have you as my daughter-in-law Kalpi.
Kalpi smiled at this complement of Gauri with proud, and moved towards Kamla, she stood behind kamla who was busy in selecting fresh flowers.
Kalpi : Aayi!
Kamla turned with smile and kalpi touched her feet for blessings.
Kamla : Have a long life, kalpi.
Kalpi : Wish me a happy life, Aayi, even if it is short, that means more than long life to me.
Kamla : (keeping her hand on Kalpi's head) Have a long , happy life , kalpi, may Bappa fulfill your every wish.
Kalpi : (while hugging kamla) Thank you Aai .
Kamla : Forgive me Kalpi, for I missed your wedding, I know it was most important day of your life, and you needed me there. But, I had two ways Kalpi, your happiness and Pakhi's life, she was going to cut her wrist, and I chose her life she is also my daughter how can I let her be dead, if
life remains happiness comes, but if there is no life then there is no happiness. So, I chose to be with her, you will get many happy moments in your life and I can be part of that. You are sane Kalpi, I know you will understand.
Kalpi : (in concerned voice) Is Pakhi alright Aai?
Kamla : Yes, I tried my best to make her understand, and convinced her to move on with her life, she agreed at that time. Now, I have to give her more of time to help her to move on.
Gauri : Ok! Kalpi , I think we should go now, we are getting late, today is your first "Rasoi" afterall, and Kamla you take care of your Pakhi, Kalpi is my daughter now, and I will be there for her, whenever she will need her mother.
Kamla was not pleased with, the way Gauri responded and it was visible on her face, but she knew herself that Gauri meant it when she said, "Kalpi is my daughter", Kamla was happy but somewhere it was aching her heart that now she has no more right on Kalpi, than Gauri, not because Kalpi is
married now, but because, Gauri has no other priority than her, like kamla has Pakhi. Kamla wished good bye and left, where Gauri and Kalpi left for their home.

At Singhania Mansion:
Raghav was walking back and forth in living room near main door, then he heard murmuring at main door, the door opened and Gauri and Kalpi entered. Kalpi was wearing a silk sari of red color, with blouse of 3/4th sleeves, holding the pooja ki thaali in her hands, she was looking divine beauty, but for the first time Raghav was not in a mood to admire her but he was concerned, whether everything was fine.
Raghav : (in concerned but little loud voice) Where were you both, I was going mad in tension.
Kalpi explained him about Gauri's wish of going bare feet to the temple, that is why they chose the early morning and not to disturb his sleep, they haven't woke him up.
Raghav : Ok! That's fine for now but, never ever go missing without my knowledge, even when I am sleeping, nothing is more important than you two.
Gauri : Ok! Now you go and have bath, it's Kalpi's first "Rasoi" and she has to cook something weet, come on breakfast table after bath, till then, she will prepare our breakfast.

At Kapoor House:
Pakhi was getting ready, fixing her hair with her hands in front of mirror. Suddenly, Neetu entered in her room.
Neetu : (with buttering tone)Pookha, are you going somewhere?
Pakhi : (Angrily)Yes, I am going to hell, do you wanna come, you are welcome there, after all that's your real place.
Neetu : (in angry tone) Pookhi, I am your mom, talk with respect.
Pakhi : (angrily with tears turned to Neetu) Yes, I remember you are the one who gave me birth, you are the one because of whom I have faced the ugliest phase of my life last year, you are the one who is reason of my all sorrows. But let me make you one thing clear, after divorce with Raghav his half property is mine, this Kapoor house is mine, it's not yours, so don't think for second that I am living on you, it's just because of Kamla maa , I've allowed you to stay here. And it will be better for you if you don't interfere in my life, and force me to change my decision.
And she slammed door of her room on Neetu's face .
Neetu : (in her mind) Who wants to talk to you even, show off your attitude till I don't get your property, when I will have that, I will see you, you are not worth of parents love, because others are always dear to you, more than your own parents.

At Singhania Mansion(Afternoon):
Kalpi was cooking food in kitchen, Gauri had just left the kitchen for her room to rest. Kalpi's back was facing kitchen entry, as she turned to put not cleaned utensils in wash basin . Suddenly, Raghav came from behind and put his hands on her waist and given her a back hug.
Raghav : The distance of half second from you makes me half, and here it's been half day and you and mom are not getting over yourselves. How much you both talk, and what you talk about.
Kalpi : (complaining tone with blush, removing Raghav's hands from her waist , turned and moved towards pan on gas, where okra was cooking) Not now Raghav, mom will be coming anytime, and I have to prepare food soon.
Raghav again came from back and moved his hands around Kalpi's waist and placed them on her belly, kissed her on her neck behind her ears and wishpered "one kiss will be enough for now". Kalpi shivered on that kiss, it was so hard for her, not to melt down in Raghav's arm when he touches her, still she composed herself and again succeeded in escaping from his hold, and
moved to pick up the bowl in which she kept mixed spices.
Kalpi : It's afternoon you will get enough time to romance, please not now.
Raghav's patients were answering now.
Raghav : (sreamed in a low voice) aah!
Kalpi turned and watched Raghav taking his hands away from flame, Kalpi's facial expression has changed now, to a horrified one, She rushed towards Raghav, taking his hand in her hands.
Kalpi : (Holding Raghav's hand)Where? Where it burnt, it must be hurting, tell me where it is?
Raghav : (Smiling and placing her hand on his heart) Here.
Kalpi : You were acting. Youuu(lightly held Raghav's right ear in her right hand).
Raghav leaned and brushed his lips with her, Kalpi leaving his ear and cupping his cheeks with the same hand kissed him back. Raghav was more than happy now, pulled her closer through her waist. Suddenly they heard sound of footsteps of Gauri and they jumped apart. Gauri entered in kitchen, she hasn't watched anything, but she was watching Raghav's face without expression and Raghav and Kalpi both were looking back at her without expression.
Raghav : I umm. I've come to take water(moved to refrigerator and took out a bottle and started
to drink).
Gauri : (in serious tone) Raghav, I am sorry son.
Raghav : What? I mean why mom.
Gauri : I know, I remained away from you for a long time, though it was not my fault but still, in past year atleast I was living with you but still I failed in one thing, that I should have taught you.
Raghav : What are you talking about mom, you failed in nothing.
Gauri : Yes, I failed , I failed in teaching you that, that Lipstick is not for boys, Men are not supposed to be putting Lipsticks, it's for girls.
Raghav and kalpi both were shocked and confused, they looked at each other, and Kalpi noticed the Lipstick mark on Raghav's lips, and her eyes gone wide and she signaled Raghav his Lips, and turned her face down in shyness, Raghav understood what his mom was trying to do. He looked once at Gauri who was smiling with a continuous gaze on him, he moved his eyes in zig-zag manner in shyness like he was looking for a place to hide his face, but he found no place. Gauri was enjoying their shyness, she continue to smile at them, until the savior's call came for Raghav. Raghav took out his phone from his pocket, and picked up the call, and moved out of kitchen almost running, to escape from the situation of shyness, now only kalpi, who was having Goosebumps due to shyness, left there to face Gauri who has refused to leave this moment of enjoyment. But Kalpi managed to get busy in cooking without meeting Gauri's gaze.
Raghav : (in his room) Sammy!!! Thank you so much.
Sammy : (confused) For what?
Raghav : Nothing, you say why did you call?
Sammy : To remind you we have a meeting today with those foreign clients, I know you were too busy from many days so still not gone through the project details, I've sent you the files through mail go through them, meeting is at 8 pm, its 1:45 pm, you have enough time.
Raghav : Sammy! It's my first day with kalpi, after marriage, can't you manage this one.
Sammy : Raghav, you know this deal is so important, we already faced so many losses last year due to personal reasons, and these clients had already put their condition about your presence. Now kalpi is all yours, you've got all rights on her, you are going to spend whole life with her. So, be mature and be prepared for today's meeting.
And both cut the call.
Raghav(to himself) : (sarcastically) All rights, seriously.
~oOo~
At Office(conference hall):
Raghav and Sammy were attending the meeting but Raghav was completely lost, once he was just smiling, remembering his last night with Kalpi, Sammy jerked Raghav's elbow, through his elbow in a hidden manner and rolled his eyes then Raghav came to his senses, and tried to listen what was
ongoing conversation there. Next, some client was talking about rights of authorities, and hearing the word right, Raghav started hallucinating.
Raghav's hallucination:
Kalpi, coming from main door with a smile plastered on her face, she came closer to Raghav and balanced herself, a hand apart, on the round table in front of Raghav, Raghav kept looking dreamily at her.
Kalpi : (in a complaining tone) I have given you all rights on me, and you are attending this meeting here, not fare Mr. Singhania, your all time should have been mine today.
And Kalpi moved her both hands around his neck, and brought her face closer to him, and stretched her brows in a questioning manner.
Raghav : (smiling dreamily)I am all yours, and available for you 24*7.
Suddenly everyone started clapping, and Raghav came out of his hallucination, the reason was the head of the client has asked raghav for the maintainance help, and what Raghav answered to Kalpi in hallucination became their answer. Raghav was shocked, what was happening, but still shock
mixed up with smile expression was coming from his face. All of them shook hands, the deal was sealed, and everyone left. And the person who was most desperate to leave for home was none other than Raghav, he didn't even said good bye to Sammy, but Sammy was very well familiar with this desperate Raghav. Sammy was smiling from behind when he looked at Raghav running in his car.
~oOo~
Kalpi was working all day, as she was arranging every room of Singhania Mansion in her own way, so when Sammy informed her that Raghav already had dinner, she has gone for sleep, as she was so tired. And when raghav entered in their room in hurry, he found his love sleeping on bed
with one hand on her heart and right hand with a fist was lying just right beside her face which was resting on a big spongy pillow. She was looking fascinating in her pink silk night wear, which was giving a perfect shade in filtering light effect to her complexion, her hairs were coming on her face
with the light wind blow. Raghav was spell bound at her eternal beauty, but then expression of disappointment for not having good time with her today has taken place on his face, he moved from the door and changed into his night wear, came to bed lied on other side than Kalpi. He was facing kalpi with one of his hand under his head and eyes staring Kalpi. Suddenly kalpi turned a little and in process her tiny hand gone above Raghav's cheek like a light slap and then her hand was resting on his cheek. Raghav, at first gone in a little shock but then smiled and took her hand in his hand kissed that hand and kept it on his heart, then closed his eyes, and gone in a peaceful sleep.
~oOo~
Next morning 8am:
Raghav was in half sleep, heard some noise of moving things, so opened up his eyes, looked in front of him no one was there then he turned and there he got look of his wife, standing in front of mirror with wet untied hairs filling her maang, wearing white net sari with heavy red border with golden embroidery, with a almost backless red blouse of size sleeves.
Raghav(in his mind): Damn this sun, why its morning not night.
Kalpi : (looking at Raghav through mirror) You should wake up now, it's an important day.
Kalpi turned and moved towards Raghav, and removed blanket from him. Raghav held her hand and pulled her onto him, and Kalpi fallen on him, lying straight on him, he held her now by her waist. Kalpi tried to get out of his hold but as always failed.
Kalpi : (with dramatic anger) What is this Raghav, its morning.
Raghav : Is this the same lady who told me before marriage that I am going to have all rights on her after marriage. For your kind information, rights does not depend on day and night.
Kalpi : Raghav, please leave me, mom has called both of us outside, she will be coming here anytime, we are already too late because of you.
Raghav hearing about his mom, gone blank because it reminded him last Lipstick incident. So, he agreed.
Raghav : Ok, I am leaving you but atleast give me, my good morning kiss.
Kalpi kissed him on his cheek, and got out of his hold, and left the room with smiling Raghav behind, still drooling over her.
~oOo~
At Singhania Mansion(On Breakfast Table):
Gauri : Raghav you have to leave kalpi at her maternal home today, you already know naa.
Raghav : What?
Gauri : (looking at kalpi )Kalpi, you didn't tell him.
Kalpi : He was late at night, so I didn't get time to tell him.
Raghav : (a little annoyed) Wait! Wait ! Wait! But why she needs to go there, is there any problem.
Gauri : NO, It's a ritual "Pad Fere". You have to leave kalpi there for some time and then you will go again to take her back.
Raghav : But mom, marriage is already complete, then what is need of all this.
Gauri : Everything can't be done according to you, don't argue on rituals. Ok!
Raghav(in his mind) : Did I really got all the rights, I have to plan something soon, otherwise, all the people around me are hell bound to not to leave my kalpi near me, why suddenly everyone has became foe to me.
