Diwali hai aur main update na dun.. Nah not possible.. Happy diwali..🤗
Kalpi touched the idol and then her forehead in a gesture to take blessings while praying that god helps her in what she has decided..
"What does he think.. he'll..", she just couldn't say the word coz she felt disgusting.. Kalpi had just woken up and found herself sleeping on the ground... On getting up the first thoughts were how yet again Raghav had hurt her ... knowingly or unknowingly she didn't know but he had hurt her..yes she had developed some unknown feelings for him but that just couldn't help her ignore the fact that he forcibly kissed her.. though her heart couldn't deny that the kiss wasn't just some kiss it said everything.. how much he needed her .. how much he was hurt... how much he ... loved her??..Did he ?? , she asked herself..
"How dare you!!! how dare u kalpi to even let such thoughts enter your mind..remember what he did and focus on your goal.. i.e making Raghav pay for his mistakes..'..
Nothing's gonna change my resolve...Kalpi thought ..She turned the chair and found a note placed their.. removing the coaster placed on it she picked it up..
'Need to talk to you.. meet me in cafeteria at 11 am sharp..
Please..
-Raghav'
Reading his name her heart skipped a beat and all the courage she had disappeared in seconds.. her pulse kept rising on the mere thought of talking to him.. 'What if he wants to discuss about..'.. She gulped slightly.. Her heart beat was still uneven when she heard a knock ...Immediately placing the note under a file she sat on the chair..
"Come in".. she said glancing at the door while praying that its not Raghav nor any message from him..
One of the office peons came in and said,"Kalpana madam Prem Sir has called you to his cabin.."..On hearing that she thought, "Prem called me??".. looking up at the office boy she nodded her head..
After safely placing the note in her drawer Kalpi went to Prem's cabin...
**************************************************
While Kalpi was in Prem's cabin discussing about some project Raghav was with Sahil Kapoor who had called him saying that he wanted to talk about something important..and Raghav very well knew what that important thing..
Raghav for few seconds stood near Sahil Kapoor's cabin observing his uneasiness mixed with happiness.. he smirked on seeing Sahil Kapoor's condition... "The profitable deal you're going to make will be the biggest loss of your life Mr.Kapoor", Raghav thought with an evil smirk..
Putting up a straight face Raghav knocked Mr.Kapoor's cabin door.. "Arey Raghav beta come in..come in ..", Sahil Kapoor said in his sugar-coated voice..
"Come have a seat...", he gestured Raghav before himself sitting on his chair.. Raghav pulled up the chair in front of the table and sat on it," You called me Un..Uncle..", Raghav said while he paused before calling his father's murderer uncle.. "Just few more days Raghav and then he'll be punished..", he tried to convince himself..
"Raghav beta.. I don't wanna say anything round and round.. I'll just come staraight to the point.. Beta your father and I started this company 15 years back but after our mill was shut and then some of our projects failing terribly ... we're now in lot of debts.. so I've taken a decision .. lets dissolve this partnership... "
On hearing Sahil Kapoor's words Raghav inwardly was smirking on his victory and externally showed a worried and confused face," But uncle.."
"Raghav you're like my son.. I won't ever wish anything bad for you.. After me Prem would take over and I don't want any injustice happen to you.. If we separate now on a good note it'll be great for us.. You would be independent and finally I would be able to fulfill your father's wish of seeing his son Raghav Singhaania as a successful self-made man. I will always be their for your help ", while placing his hand on Raghav's shoulder Sahil said," And our personal equations always will remain the same .. "
Raghav was in no mood to extend this convo and so he just got up and said," I trust you Sahil uncle.. "... They shared a formal handshake followed by a manly hug .."I'm sure your father would've been really proud of you ..I'll arrange the documents as soon as possible but till then lets keep the news under wraps.."
Raghav nodded his head and left the cabin leaving behind a smiling Sahil Kapoor who thought that Raghav was just as naive as his father and just like his father trusts him ...
**************************************************
It was 11.15 am .. Kalpi's discussion with Prem got a bit longer and she now was walking towards cafeteria where she had to meet Raghav.. she pushed the door open but then it hit someone.. her eyes widened on seeing Raghav who was holding his forehead which just had welcomed the door's blow...
With concern she held Raghav's hand and pulled him towards the counter where a glass of water was placed .. wetting her handkerchief she carefully placed it on his foregead while constantly saying," Sir I'm so sorry.. I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean to hurt you.. I'm really sorry".. Raghav who was enjoying her soft hand's touch on his left arm.. the warm air on his fore head.. the amazing smell of her damp hair intermingled with the sweet lavemder deodarant smell.. the worry on her face brought a huge smile on his face ..
His trance was broken by his phone ring.. Suddenly aware of the proximity Kalpi to moved away.. Raghav picked up the call.. It was Sammy.."Ha Sammy bol..", Kalpi just started to walk away but Raghav held her hand .. "Ok.. I'll go to the airport..", he kept the phone and then gestured Kalpi to have a seat..
For about ten minutes which for them was like ten hours both Raghav and Kalpi just kept looking here and there.. neither of them didn't know how to start their convo.. finally Raghav broke the uneasy air of silence..
"Kalpi I..", Raghav's phone rang again.. frustrated on this unwelcomed disturbance he picked the call.. "I'm on my way.. bye now..", he hung up the call and then looked at Kalpi .. before he could say something Prem landed there making Raghav's temper shoot up..
"Hi Raghav", Prem said.. 'Here's he again.. Ab phirse Kalpi ko leke jaayega.. iss baar nahi'(Here's he again.. bet he'll take Kalpi away from here .. but not this time..")
"Prem, me and Ms.Varma have to go for some very important work..", Raghav said to Prem and then left along with Kalpi...
*******************************************************
Kalpi was trying to match up with Raghav's long steps who was walking towards the parking lot totally annoyed by the disturbances which didn't even let him talk to Kalpi and now this.. he was already late and plus he was yet to talk to Kalpi..
"Where are we going sir??", Kalpi asked while sitting on the front seat... While starting the car Raghav replied," Actually I've to pick up my friend.. Sammy's busy so instead I'm going..".. "But sir then why am I coming with you??", Kalpi asked ..
While looking straight as to avoid her direct gaze,"Kalpana we both know that we need to talk about some things.. lets just pick up and drop my friend then we'll go to some restaurant and talk there..".. He heard Kalpi say hmm.. Thereafter the drive till airport went on in silence..
*******************************************************
"KR!!!!", Raghav heard a girl's voice who came running to him and engulfed him in a hug shocking Kalpi to the core ... "Besharam ladki how can she hug him like that and shout his name in middle of such crowd.. hhmmph...", Kalpi looked away trying to control the urge of pulling the two apart.."One second.. Why do I care.. Hug kare ya ki.. Ghum phir ke kiss ke upar aa jati..Kalpi just shut up.. shut up right now", Raghav came with his friend and introduced her to Kalpi," Kalpana this is Maya Raichand my college friend and Maya this is Kalpana Varma my frie... (clearing throat) my colleague.."..
The trio then went to the car.. "Colleague... that's all.. I'm nothing more than a colleague to him??..", she didn't know why but knowing that Raghav jusconsidered her as a colleague made her sad..
"Shit.. Sam was right... The Eighth wonder has happened KR is in love!!!", Maya thought.. She purposely sat on front seat making Kalpi sit behind and all the while kept chit-chatting about how she missed Raghav etc. acting as if Kalpi wasn't there but one thing that didn't go unnoticed by her was that her KR just couldn't get his eyes off the mirror stealing glances at Kalpi while jealousy was written all over Kalpi's face..
"Aaj toh I'm pakka gonna land up in hospital.. either KR will end up having an accident with the way he's driving or that girlfriend of his will beat me up black and blue for openly hugging Raghav", Maya thought and smiled to herself..
Finally done.. As promised jealous Kalpi..more to come😉
Maya (I hope u know her face..) is Raghav and Sammy's college friend.. Both Raghav and Sammy always cared about her and are protective about her like brothers ..
And about the poll.. I've decided to go with the flow with emotions etc. .. I'll try my best and not drag the story .. Thanks a lot to everyone who commented and voted.. You guys are the only reason I still am continuing the story..
