*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Sneha and Kalpi finally were done with the mandap decorations.. a big wooden block covered with yellow and red rose-petals was placed in the middle of the table to keep the idol.. marigold petals adorned the table on which all the required pooja stuff were kept.. around the table were garlands of white and orange coloured marigold ...
Sneha- Didi its looking pretty..
Kalpi- Yup.. very pretty...
Sneha- You do this at your home every year??
Kalpi- No..we have only one idol in chawl.. the decorations are every year done by the elder people...I always wanted to do decorate a mandap ...
Sneha- See I fulfilled your wish..
Kalpi- (While pulling her cheeks) Of course you did.. thanks a lot...
Just then Aryan came from his room... The daily dose of Kalpi's haldi ka doodh had helped him recover in just one day..
Aryan- Kalpana we need to go..
Sneha- Where bhai??
Kalpi- For getting bappa..
Sneha- (jumped in happiness ) Me too coming with you..
Aryan- No you're not... You've school celebration so now go get ready...
Sneha-(Turning to Kalpi) Didi please...
Kalpi- See sneha.. we both'll go and get bappa and you go to school so that you can call your friends home for pooja... if you don't go then how will you invite everyone??
Sneha- Mmm... ok...
Saying so Sneha ran upstairs to get ready while Aryan and Kalpi went to get the idol... Kalpi was accompanying Aryan as she knew the shop where they could get the eco-friendly ganpati idol...
******************************************************************************
While driving..
Aryan- You really know how to convince someone...
Kalpi- Ha woh to hai...
(Both laugh)
Aryan- Sneha never was so stubborn... I mean she would ask for things but once said no she never asked for it again...God knows what happened this time...
Kalpi- (In mind) This time she's not doing this for herself.. its for you and aunty...
They reached the place...
Kalpi went ahead to see the different idols while Aryan was staring at an idol at the entrance.. he was about to call Kalpi when he heard her calling him..
Kalpi- Look at this .. (She said as she pulled him by his hand to the place where the idol was kept) .. its nice na..
Aryan- (looking at the hand that held his arm) Yup..
Kalpi left his arm and went to the owner and told him that they'll buy the idol..
While driving back Kalpi was sitting with the idol carefully placed on her lap as Aryan kept stealing glances as he smiled to himself looking at the happy Kalpi...
"Who would say that this was the girl who few months ago was sitting alone on a roadside bench crying over her ill-fate... Who had lost all hopes of happiness... And now she's so overjoyed... you should always be happy Kalpana... Only happiness deserves to stay in your happy.. And I promise it will... always.."... by mistake he spoke the last lines aloud..
Kalpi- What??
Aryan- (Nodding his head) Nothing...
Aryan hadn't really recognised his adoration towards Kalpi as love but the budding feeling in his heart was growing day by day ... actually with each passing moment...
Kalpi on the other hand was in a super excited mode...she felt like she was bringing ganpati in her own house... Sudddenly her thoughts shifted to how her life had changed so much...
A mother's love and care which she always wanted and rightfully deserved was showered by Sunaina... Sunaina would call her up whether she had her food and small-small things.. scolded her when she would stay till late at office working...
Being a bookworm in her school and college life she never had many friends.. just few acquaintances... And now she had a person whom she could actually call her friend.. A person who came like a silver lining in dark clouds in her life and now has ended up as a good friend..Aryan..
With these two blessings she had a bonus gift in the form of Sneha...who would lighten up her mood whenever she was totally stressed..
The smile which was adorning her face all the whille now faded as she remembered her family.. it had been months since she met Vithal and Pakya.. Being away from kamla didn't matter much as anyway she always used to be away from her but she missed her baba and dada badly... her busy work would allow her to call them up only once in two-three days and gave her just few minutes to talk to them... She took her phone and looked at the pic that pakya's friend had taken on holi...( Holi episode waala pic before Raghav calls Kalpi to the office)
They reached Khanna mansion and Aryan snapped Kalpi out of her thoughts...Keeping the idol on the front seat they went inside..
******************************************************************************
Aryan after making some important calls came in the living room where Kalpi was lighting the diyas kept around the table on the ground.. The subtle light of the burning diyas on her face made her golden skin tone glow... Aryan couldn't move his eyes away from the beautiful sight in front of him and just then he heard a scream..
A servant standing nearby saw that Kalpi's dupatta was on fire.. she went to get water but before she could bring it Aryan had put off the fire using his hands.. Kalpi couldn't remove her dupatta as she had pinned it to her dress and the fear of Kalpi getting hurt had disabled all the sense he had...
Kalpi took Aryan's hand in her.. "Are you mad.. see this.. you've burnt your own hands now..", the sight of his burnt hand brought tears in her eyes but Aryan didn't feel any pain.. he just was happy that Kalpi wasn't hurt..
Kalpi immediately took him to the bathroom and brought his hand under running cold water.. He hissed in pain.. Immediately closing the tap she mad him immerse his hands in cold water.. she asked the servant to call a doctor and then made Aryan sit on the couch...Luckily it wasn't a very severe burnt and only one hand was burnt ..
While sobbing Kalpi said.."Does it hurt a lot??".
"Mm..hh... ",Nodding his head in disagreement.."You know.. I don't know whether i burnt my hand or you did...You're crying like you got hurt"..
"Who told you to do that?? Only small part of my dupatta was burning and now see you burnt your whole palm...", Kalpi said as she wiped her tears...
"If you would've got hurt then that would've pained a lot..", Aryan blurted out...
Just then the doctor entered...
Kalpi stood beside Aryan while doctor sat on the couch with him inspecting the burn... While the doctor bandaged the burn Aryan hissed in pain and involuntarily held Kalpi's hand...Till the whole dressing was done they were just like that Kalpi holding Aryan's left hand with both her hands...
"Luckily its not a very severe burn but it qould take some days to for your hand to be totally fine.. Just keep changing the dressing", After giving the other necessary instructions to Kalpi the doc left...
