Flashback...
Christ King School was filled with the giggles of kids who came to join the School.. It was the first day of schooling for Kalpi also.. Kalpi was crying non stop pulling her Mom's finger that she dont wanna go to school...
Kalpi: Ma, I jont(dont) wanna go.. pleech(please)
Kamla:Kalpi beta.. Dont cry.. Good girls dont cry.. You are a good girl na.. And look dada is also with you.. He will meet you at your each break.. Now smile...
Kalpi: No no no...
Before she could protest anymore Pakya pulled her along with him and started walking to her class..Soon Raghav was passing by there and saw his friend Pakya...
Raghav: Hey Pakya. Where are you going?? Our class is that way!!!
Pakya: As if I dont know where is my class.. I am going to drop her in the class.. oh yeah I forgot you to introduce you her.. She is Kalpi, my sister..
Raghav: Hai kalpi
Kalpi with a cute smile: Hello.. Whach your nane??(Whats ur name??)
Raghav bursts out laughing: You came here to join class 1.. Still you dont know to speak properly??!!! hahahaaa...
Kalpi was at the edge of crying and listening to Raghav making fun of her she hugged Pakya and started crying...
Pakya: Kya yaar Raghav, She was already upset now you made her cry??
Raghav felt an unknown connection to her.. Seeing that cute angel cry was not possible for him.. He sat down on knees and wiped her tears..
Raghav: Listen kalpi, I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.. Ok Friends...
Kalpi smiling: Friends...(they shook their hands)
Raghav: Chal Pakya I will drop my friend in her class.. You can leave..
Pakya: No ways.. She is my sis.. She is not gonna come with u(showing his tongue out)
Kalpi: I will go with my friend only...
Raghav took hold of her hand and lead her to her class leaving a stunned Pakya back
Pakya: Wah!! Madam to itni jaldi kisi se dosti nahi karti...(She wont make friendship with any one so soon) Unbelievable!!
Raghav lead her to her class... Since it was a freshers day there was a photo session.. When they saw Ragna they took their photo...

Scene 2
A small smile appeared Kalpi's lips when she saw the little Raghav and herself in that photo...She had kept that photo safe from that day itself...The beginning of their journey from that school corridor... But soon realisation her... He was not more her Raghav... The one who wiped away her tears is now hell bent on bringing tears in her life... But for what??
Kalpi: No Raghav... I am not some kind of weak woman to sit back and enjoy the tortures you give me... You are the one who made me strong right?? Now you will see my strength... I want my answers... I want to know why you married me if you never loved me... I will seek my answers very soon Raghav... Very soon...
She closed the album and engaged herself in chores... She was used to that big mansion from her childhood... So it was a very easy job for her to adjust there... Soon seconds become minutes and minutes become hours... Sun disappeared in the vast ocean...Twinkling stars and moonlight lighted the dark sky...
There was no sign of Raghav... The whole day she tried a lot to call him... But he never answered her call... Kalpi was really worried...
Kalpi:Oh!! God.. Why Raghav is not picking my calls.. I hope he is fine...
Soon she heard Raghav's voice from the hall talking with someone on the phone...She rushed to him and without thinking anything just enveloped him into a hug... Initially Raghav was surprised...
Kalpi: Thank God Raghav you are fine... I was so worried for you...
He wanted to support her tiny frame in his arm...But he had a sudden realisation of the situation ... He just pushed her away from him...
Raghav on phone: Pakhi I will call you back...
To Kalpi: What the hell were you doing now?? Is this the new way you found to seduce someone?? This is the first and last time I am giving you an excuse... Remember to maintain a one hand distance from me always... You get it...
And he walked away and closed his bedroom door.. Kalpi was dumbstruck... Tears falling down her cheeks.. She was having flashbacks of her own life... A life where she had only smiles and happiness... The one entirely different...
I am sorry for all the errors.. Pls leave your genuine feedbacks and improvisations that I should try in the story... Thanks for your huge support...
