~Ek mutthi Aasmaan~The untold story RagNa - Page 3

Scene 1

Paki and Gauri were both shock to see kalpi in Raghav arms.

Getting out of her state of shock, you could still see the worried that was written on gauri face, as she quickly rushes towards Raghav to help kalpi. She looks at kalpi and Raghav, and then she says "what happened to her B"".

"I found her in the rain, just standing there." He says sadly

Gauri touched her forehead then says "she's burning; we have to take her to the guest room." She said

Raghav follows his mom to the guest room, and then he gently puts her down on the bed.

Pakhi watching all of this was a little bit sad, Raghav went to meet kalpi, is that why he left late at night? She thought. She stood by the door observing her mother in law and husband taking care of kalpi. Gauri turns towards her and says "why are you just standing there, go get me hot water and a towel."

Pakhi walks to the kitchen and boil some hot water. When it was done she found a towel and walk to the guest room.

"Here you go M." She says earning a look from gauri

"Did I tell you to call me that?" She says

"N..No, bu-."

"K' magara nah, yahm s" cal" j'."

Paki sadly turns around and leave. Raghav not paying any attention to paki looks at kalpi. He was on her left side holding her hand while gauri attends to her. Worried was written on his face. When she was done, she told Raghav to go to sleep, but he refused.

"No mom, I will stay with kalpi. You should rest." He says

"You sure son?" she asked

"Yes I'm sure."

"Ok" she says

Gauri left Raghav alone with kalpi. He looks at her lovingly and grabs her hand. Then he says "fate has brought us together once again, kalpi. This time I wont let you go." He says

Paki watches gauri leave. Then she went to Raghav, she was going to knock when she heard Raghav speak.

"I love you so much kalpi. No one will replace you from my heart."

Pakhi back away sadly and walk to her room. Once she was in there she cried to sleep.

Scene 2

Kamla didn't sleep the whole night because she was worried about kalpi.

Where are you kalpi? Did you go to Raghav? No she couldn't have Raghav lives far away. So where is she?

Kamla was so busy thinking about kalpi that she didn't hear pakiya asking about her.

"Mom, where is kalpi?" he asked

"She... she." Kamla said looking at him

"I kicked her out". Said vitthal

"But.. Dad you love kalpi. Why would you kick her out?" he said

Vitthal turns around and sit in the chair.

"Pakiya try to make our dream come true. Ok?" he says

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm gonna go look for kalpi." He says leaving before vitthal could stop him

Kamla was about to leave also when vitthal stops her.

"Step out of this door Kamla and I will be angry." He says making her sit back down.

Neetu loving everything that happened. She walks to Kamla and says

"Waw..Waw.. The righteous Kamla has finally given up. Bravo bravo." She says

"I haven't given anything up. Once vitthal is calm, I will search for kalpi." She says

"There's no need Kamla, after all kalpi is probably happy where she's at." She says smirking

"What do you mean Neetu?"

"I'm saying she's probably with Raghav right about now. I wonder how paki is feeling." She says getting Kamla attention.

"You're wrong Neetu, there's no way kalpi would do that to paki." She says

"Are you sure about that? After all she is free to do whatever she wants."

"I know kalpi, she would never try to ruin someone else marriage." She says proudly

"If the heart wants it, no one can stop her. Not even you Kamla." She says before leaving

Scene 3

Pakiya searches for kalpi. He asked everyone he knows. And even went to some of her favorite spot. But he still couldn't find her. Dejected he walks to the park and sit down.

He remembers when kalpi was born, when he was celebrating. How happy everyone was especially him to have a little sister. He also remember watching kalpi getting hurt by her mom. That's why he could never hate her for the decisions she made.

As long as she was loved by someone and was happy, that's all that matters. He starts to cry remembering her sisters' expression when she found out that Raghav married paki. That time he wanted to beat Raghav for hurting his sister. But when kalpi explain why he did it he understood. He wipes his tears and walk to the temple. There he cleaned himself and prayed to his god. Where ever she is please let her be happy and not hurt. Please make Mm and pitj understand that they can't separate true love. Also they have to think about kalpi happiness too. To me kalpi happiness comes before my own. So please let them see the truth. He thought

After he was done, he went back to the chowl feeling sad that he couldn't find kalpi.

He was about to walk in his house, when Manda asked him why he's sad.

"I can't find kalpi anywhere." He says

Manda smiles to herself and taunts pakiya.

"You didn't know?" she says gloating

"Know what?" he says confuse

"Well.. Your sister and Raghav got married." She says

Pakiya was shock; he didn't want to believe it. I mean kalpi would never do that without us there. And I thought she was going to wait until a year for that to happen. He thought to himself. He felt kind of betrayed, but at the same time understand.

Scene 4

Kalpi woke up, in a room unfamiliar to her. She turned her head to the side and saw decorations on the wall and her suit case next to the drawers. She moved her body up and tried to remember what happened yesterday. Suddenly she remembers. Her dad kicking her out , her crying in the rain, and meeting Raghav at the park. Wait.. I met Raghav yesterday. So does that mean I'm in his house? She thought

Her question was answered when Raghav walks in with a tray.

"Here you go kalpana; I made this just for you." He says putting it on her lap.

She still couldn't believe that she's in Raghav house, after she said that couldn't see him.

"Please eat kalpi." He says worried

Kalpi no wanting to worry him took a spoon. She forgot it was hot because the next thing she knew it burned her mouth. And when she flinched she forgot about the soup in her lap. Making it wet the blanket and burning her leg. Kalpi quickly got of the bed accidentally tripping and falling on Raghav. They both fell on the bed. Looking at each other romantically while Tum hi ho melody plays. Both of them were to busy staring at each other, that they didn't see gauri enters with paki behind her.

Gauri cleared her throat, making them look at her and kalpi looking at paki hurt expression.

"I see you're feeling better." She says making the lovers move away from each other.

"Ah yes, thank you for helping me Gauri-ma." She says

"Actually the one who helped a lot was Raghav; he was so worried about you dear." She says while looking at paki face. She could see the hurt written all over her face.

This is good. This is just a small taste of your own medicine paki. Theres more to come, she thought.

Kalpi looks at Raghav and he looks away blushing. Smiling she thanks him and apologize for falling on him.

"Its ok kalpana, as long as you're alright. That's all that matters." he says

"Come lets go eat breakfast, I'm sure paki made some already." She says looking at paki.

Paki panicked. She was so busy worrying about Raghav and kalpi that she forgot to make breakfast. "Actually, I overslept and forgot to make breakfast." She says

Gauri yelled at her for not making breakfast. Kalpi watching this offered to do it.

"No kalpi, your our guest. We can't let you do that." She says

"Please let me do it Gauri-ma, for taking care of me, that's the least I can do." She says

"Fine, but if you feel dizzy just call paki to help." She says

Everyone walk to the dining table. Kalpi walks to the kitchen. She looks around until she found what she wanted. I'll make Gujarati Dal with some tea. She thought.

Kalpi washed the tur dal, and add one cup water to the dal and pressure cook up to 4 whistles. Once the pressure eases, she transfers the dal to a deep vessel and mashes it with a masher. Then she added 3 cups of water, raw peanuts, turmeric powder, red chili powder, minced ginger, green chilies, chopped tomatoes, jaggery and salt to taste and simmer for 12-15 mts on low medium flame. After she was done she kept stirring in between.

Then she Heat the oil in a small pan. Once the oil is hot, she adds mustard seeds and allowed it to splutter. She then Add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, red chilis, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick. Asafetida and curry leaves and saut for a few seconds till the fenugreek seeds turns red and the cumin turns brown. Once that was done she turned off the flame. 30 minutes later she was done.

She served everyone and also brought them tea. Raghav and his mom were impressed at her skills. When she sat down, she watches everyone eat her food even paki then she starts to eat.

"This is amazing kalpi." Said gauri

"I haven't had a good breakfast in a long time.' Raghav said earning a blush kalpi. The whole time paki was quiet. She didn't want to admit it but kalpi was a better cook then her. Maybe I'll ask kalpi to teach me this recipe so I can make it for Raghavshe thought.

Scene 5

After breakfast kalpi decides to clean up. Paki was going to help when Raghav volunteer. Smiling he grab the plates and walk to the kitchen with kalpi.

"Now I see what Raghav see in kalpi." Gauri says out loud before leaving.

Paki watches Raghav playing with kalpi and teasing her. She thought to herself you've never offered to do the dishes with me or even eat my food. She thought

She sadly walk away from them and went to her room, than she call Kamla.

When kamla picked up she burst out crying. " kamla-ma" she says

"What's wrong paki beta?" she asked

"What happened to kalpi? Kamla-ma".

She asked

"Kalpi? What happened tell me paki?" she says worried

"Kalpi, she's over here." she says making Kamla drop her phone.

"Kamla-ma? Kamla-ma!" she says

Kamla couldn't hear anything. She was shock. How could kalpi do this she thought?
