I know that i said next update will be delayed but then today i was totally in mood to write one and also got some free time...sorry for not replying to each comment...
Recap:
Composing herself she stood up and held her head to look at her saviour... The face she saw brought back years old memories...
"DEV"
"NAINA"..
They said in unison...
Part 11:
Clearing his throat..."Hi Naina.."...said the guy dressed up in dark blue jeans,white shirt and black blazer..
Her raising heartbeat had made her deaf...her voice was stuck in her throat...range of emotions flooding out of her heart she just kept staring at that handsome face...Controlling her urge to cry her heart out she simply looked down and said,"Its Kalpana"...Before Dev could say another word kalpi rushed out of the cafe...
*******************************************************************************************
A girl was standing outside a movie theatre...pacing around looking at her watch... Suddenly a guy came and hug her from behind...kissing her cheek he turned her around..
"Dev you are again late...for god sake kabhi to time pe pahuncho..."
"Sorry sweet heart...meeting thi.."
"Because of your darn meeting I missed my movie...i'm not talking to you now"...
Saying so the girl walked away only to be held by a strong arm...the arm pulled her and she collided on his chest...framing her beautiful face he said," Naina I am really sorry...promise I'll never again make you wait"...
Hitting his shoulder playfully she said,"Dev I really love my name Kalpana...stop calling me naina...kabhi kabhi toh lagta hai ki tumhe mera naam yaad nahi rehta so you call me
Naina"...Her words made him chuckle..."Your parents didn't know na ki their daughter would grow up to become so beautiful and will have the most beautiful eyes..warna aaj tum Naina Jadhav hoti...waise don't worry after our marriage you'll be Naina Kapoor"...
*******************************************************************************************
Those old memories made fresh tears flow from her eyes...sitting alone in her car in the parking lot she kept crying...
"Promises...betrayal...tears...that's all you gave me Dev...that's all.."...Kalpi said to herself...suddenly she heard her phone beep...It was Raghav's call...
Wiping her tears away..she cleared her throat to answer the call...
K- (In a broken voice) Hi Raghav..
R- Hi kalpana...what happened to your voice???
K- Na..nothing ...little bit of cold that's it... by the way..why did u call??
R- Do I always need to have a reason...
K- You never have...(and they chatted for what felt a long time)
In those weeks at the hospital, Kalpi and Raghav had become good friends...though they didn't have the MUJHSE DOSTI KAROGE dialogue in their relationship but they had accepted each other as friends...
Raghav's restlessness would never let kalpi's thoughts to leave his mind... rather his heart...but his work didn't allow them to meet either...
He most of the times could convince himself to work...if not him then Sammy used to do it instead but sometimes an unknown anxiety would overcome him...telepathy or whatever we can call it whenever kalpi was sad or in a problem she always got a call from Raghav...
She never liked to voice her problems but with Raghav it was different...she indirectly used to tell her problem and he used to answer them in the same way...today was no different...
K-So how's work..
R- As usual boring... Yours might be fun na??
K- Not really...
R- Any problem...I can help...
K-Nothing...
R- (I know there's something troubling you...i'll not let you be sad ) Kalpana I'm a free and as you know a great advisor...so you've got to tell me..
K- Actually its karan...he's too sad nowadays...initially when i asked him the reason he didn't answer and today he told me the reason...he met his ex who ditched him and...
R- You know the best way to work is to complete the pending jobs first and then take up new jobs instead of running away from backlog...similarly the best way t o live life is to face the past...to face the problems rather than running away...ok now i got to go or sammy will kill me..bye take care...
K- Thanks and bye...
R- Madam dosti mein no sorry no thank you...hasta la vista...
Smiling on hearing his words,kalpi kept the phone down...
"Thank you Raghav for helping me yet again... I never really understand how do you get to know when i'm in a problem and totally in need of an advice..guess so that's friendship"...with a sweet smile on her face she drove back to her office...
