SS: Penance...Completed 8/9/14... - Page 18

************************************************************************************************************************************************

Outside the clouds broke and inside Raghav broke...

He already undergone a lot of pain in the past and today he also faced betrayal... Worst ever...betrayal from the person who gave him birth...who brought him to this world...

A mother is always respected and loved the most...she sacrifices everything for her child's happiness but for Raghav...his mother sacrificed her child's happiness for revenge...

"Why does it always has to happen with me...first I lost my dad and my mom went missing...the cruel world made me a stone-hearted insensitive man...when i decided to live my life alone and had an aim to get revenge kalpi came into my life...she became the silver lining in the dark clouds of my life...she turned my life upside down...I in the real sense began to live...she taught me the meaning of happiness...the meaning of life...of love...even after the misunderstandings we were all set to be one but then mom came back...she reminded me of the revenge...my aim of life...I ditched...I cheated my kalpi ...and today I get to know that It was a big bloody plan...a plan to seperate me and my kalpi..."...

Saying so he again broke down... A guy never really sheds tears and a tough guy like Raghav Singhaania is definately an exception but today all the limits of betrayal were surpassed...While he was busy feeling pity for himself he heard a voice from the door...

"Tch tch...Poor Raghav Singhania...I don't know whether its him or just someone who looks like him"...when Raghav lifted his head he saw before him his own image with a smirk on his face...

"Stop it Raghav...just stop doing that... stop blaming fate ...I agree you have been subjected to many problems from your childhood but your present state is just because of you and your decisions... you promised your mom revenge but from whom the kapoors or the jadhavs... you say that your mom planned it all but didn't you support her...you did have a choice...always you had a choice...You could've used your brains instead of following your mom's instructions...Seriously you surely aren't the Raghav Singhaania who came back for revenge on kapoors"...said his image

"Yes I'm not"... yelled Raghav..."I've changed...kalpi and her love changed me... And now I've lost it...atleast for an year "...

"So Mr. Singhaania for her...for kalpi and her love make them pay ...Change yourself again...get back the old Raghav...Kalpi won't meet you for a year because of them..Staying away from her will be your penance but what about them...the kapoors , paakhi and your mom...they need to pay for their mistakes...for messing with Raghav Singhaania and his love...for using him...",saying so the mirror image of Raghav disappeared...

Wiping away the tear traces on his cheek...his eyes filled with hatred he looked up and said,"Its Payback time"...

Just then his cell phone rang... It was Sammy..."Come to city hospital ...ICU on third floor"... saying so Sammy hung up...The only fear lingering on Raghav's mind was 'Is Kalpi fine...who's in ICU???'

He immediately picked up his coat and drove his way to city hospital...

*******************************************************************************************

After Raghav had walked away paakhi sat their on the ground crying like she had lost everything ... the slap was so hard and loud that Gauri who was just in the room besides that room heard it...She saw her son walking out ...his fist closed tightly...his fingers digging his palms...she went to Raghav's room only to find a totally distraught paakhi...She thought to leave her alone for some time ...

It was now too late...Raghav hadn't returned and paakhi was still in the room...Gauri walked towards her and placed hand on her shoulder asking her the reason for her condition... that touch was like cold water thrown on her... wiping her tears with a crazy look in her eyes paakhi stood up,"How dare he slap me...how dare he...he loves me...he should love me...he should and he will..."

Saying so paakhi immediately drove to Raghav's office...

Gauri was totally baffled by looking at paakhi... she tried to stop her but in vain...

The rains flooded the roads and paakhi was driving way too fast ... The blur image of roads resulted in an accident...paakhi's car was hit by a truck...Sammy reached the accident spot and found paakhi...he admitted her and informed Raghav and Gauri about the same ...

*******************************************************************************************

Raghav reached the ICU door...his shirt half tucked in...swollen red eyes ...fear of loosing a beloved on his mind...he ran towards Sammy who was standing beside Gauri...

Raghav- Who's in there Sammy ??? (he said pointing towards the ICU door)

Sammy- Paakhi...

Raghav let a sigh of relief as his fear didn't turn into reality... Gauri went near him and placed her hand on his arm...Raghav looked at her and shrugged her hand away rudely...with his eyes shooting daggers..."Stay away from me woman"...

With that Raghav was about to leave only to be held by Sammy who asked Raghav why was he behaving like that...

Placing his hand on Sammy's shoulder for support Raghav told him everything..."This woman does not deserve to be called my mother and she isn't...from today I am an orphan "...saying so Raghav headed to his home...Singhania mansion...

Sammy too followed him coz he knew this betrayal has broken Raghav and he might end up doing something idiotic...While Gauri was left behind shocked on hearing her son's words...
