**********************************************************************
Maya was to stay in the same hotel where Sammy was.. Raghav and Maya went upstairs while Kalpi insisted on waiting in the car.. She was annoyed.. no actually she was totally pissed off... Muttering thousands of curses for Raghav to make her accompany him she just sat in the car...
"What does that girl think of herself... calling Raghav KR.. god knows what does that even mean... Gauri ma chintu bulaati hai toh bahut gussa aata hai..(When Gauri ma calls him chintu he gets angry) he says that he does not like nicknames but this girl can call him anything.. (Mimicking Maya) KR.. Oh KR.. bhaad mein jaaye yeh KR aur iski woh Maya.. Ussi se baat karni thi toh mujhe laaya hi kyun.. pura time aise behave kar rahe the jaise mein yaha hu hi nahi.. sirf woh hai aur unki woh Maya.. (KR.. Oh KR.. Let that KR and his Maya go to hell.. If he only had to talk to her then why did he even ask me to accompany him.. All the way he was behaving as if I don't even exist.. its only he and his maya) Arrgghh.. Its all my fault.. mujhe hi nahi aana chaahiye tha.. Ab bhugto.. galti ki hai toh ab sajaa bhi bhukto.. (Arrgghh.. Its all my fault.. I shouldn't have come in the first place...now face the consequences.. you've comitted the mistake so now bear the consequences too..) hmmph.."
Some other time Kalpi would've thought about this sudden anger of hers towards Maya but right now she was too busy cursing Raghav that she didn't even bother to find the reason for her frustration... Every few seconds she kept looking outside the window towards Raghav and Maya who were walking towards tge entrance of the hotel...
On the other hand while walking Raghav just kept glancing back at his car.. all the way he could notice the anger on Kalpi's face even from far and just kept wishing that it wasn't for him though he clearly knew it was..
Maya smiled on seeing his and Kalpi's expressions... "Poor Romeo and Angry Juliet"...Looking down Ragahv thought to himself, "Maya bhi na..I just hope Kalpi hasn't misunderstood anything.. Though her expressions said that she has.. Waah Raghav .. you're just awesome.. usse baat karke baat sudhaarni thi and abb tune shayad baat bigaad di...(Technically you had to sort out things and now you've created a bigger mess)..", he sarcastically thought to himself..
Both of them went out of Kalpi's sight as they entered the hotel... Kalpi just kept fidgeting her fingers and gritting her teeth while trying to control her urge to punch someone.. to be specific ..punch Raghav..
**********************************************************************
"Look there he is", Maya said while pointing towards Sammy who was busy on a call.. She ran towards him while Raghav waited at the reception for the keys.. Grabbing the keys he walked towards the duo..
"These are Maya's room keys", Raghav said while handing over the keys to Sammy .. With a frown Maya said," KR ..", "Maya don't call me that.. you know I don't like it..", Raghav interupted.. Mischieviously Maya replied," Before reaching here you had no problem with it and now you have ... waah... Anyway KR nahi to naa sahi.. Mr.Khadoos Raghav aka KR these are my room keys so you should give them to me .", while holding her hand in front of him she said," Come on give it.."... Sammy winked at Raghav which Maya didn't see as she was standing in middle of the two ..
Raghav pulled Maya's nose and said," Kids aren't given hotel keys.."... Maya tried to take the keys but Raghav quickly moved his hand and threw the keys towards Sammy.. the trio were playing like kids with Maya running from Sammy to Raghav and then back to Sammy... Now she was tired and that meant using her brahmastra...
The keys were now with Sammy and he was teasing Maya.. Making a cute puppy face with some crocodile tears Maya walked towards Raghav and said," Raghav pls tell him na to give me the keys.. I'm tired.. I wanna go and rest.."..."Here it goes again..", Sammy thought.. This is what happened everytime..they fought and played and in the end Maya goes to Raghav and whatever Maya wants happens.. "Sam give the keys to her..",Raghav said sternly...
"Ya ya ..", with fake anger Sammy gave the keys to Maya... "Thanks KR", Maya said and gave a quick peck on Raghav's cheek and went..
And as luck would have it Kalpi came there at that moment.. She was sick and tired of sitting idle in the car alone so decided to check upon Raghav.. on seeing Maya kiss on Raghav's cheek Kalpi felt something die inside her... Her eyes moistened a bit and she felt as if her breathing momentarily stopped..
Though it was just a peck it was enough for Kalpi to confirm her doubts.. Raghav and Maya's closeness, Maya calling Raghav by some weird nick name,their hugging so closely and now this..
She turned around to leave and when she neared Raghav's car she heard something,"Stop Kalpi".. Startled she looked around but there was no one there.. she realised it was a voice inside her.. it continued," Why are you running away?? Hurt ??", the voice taunted her...
"I'm not.."...
"Then what?? hmm?? Admit it.."...
"What .. what should I admit??"...
"You know it.. just voice it.. "...
Turning her face around as if trying not to face reality Kalpi said "I don't know anything neither do want to.. I'm not running away from anything.. I.. am... not... running ...away... I don't care about him nor about with who he is or about what he does..",she sat back in the car looking nowhere in particular...
**********************************************************
While sitting on the couch in the lounge area Sammy was telling Raghav some project details about their company SR constructions but Raghav couldn't pay attention to a single word of Sammy as he was busy staring at the entrance wondering why Kalpi didn't come or even call him to ask how much time it would take as it had been half an hour now..
"Sammy don't you get tired.. please let me go Kalpi is waiting for me.. someone always has to ruin my meet plans with Kalpi", though Raghav would've liked ...scratch that .. Actually loved to voice it out aloud he said all this in his mind.. "Done", Sammy said and Raghav smiled like a kid would when given their favourite chocolate without even asking for it..
Gaining back his composure Raghav calmly said,"Everything's perfect.. go ahead with it", with this Raghav stood up to leave while Sammy tried hard to control his laughter," Never had I seen you this desperate Raghav.. it was real fun to see you tadpofy.. You lover boy didn't even realise that I was talking about unrelated details and that's what you call perfect.. great".. Sammy was about to let loose his laughter but Raghav came back and Sammy tried to put on a normal face.."Sam don't forget to tell Maya about making Prem partner in our new Capetown branch and also about Paakhi's job and talk to DGP about the raid on Kapoor constructions after the partnership is broken.. And I'm busy today so please no calls.. bye"..,Raghav said and almost ran away from there...
True he wanted revenge from Kapoors but only Sahil Kapoor.. Prem was like a brother while Pakhi like a sister to him.. Raghav didn't want them to bear the bruises of their dad's sins and so had planned to get them settled abroad as in few days their business was gonna end and Sahil was going to go behind bars..
**********************************************************
"Sorry my discussion with Sammy took longer than expected..", Raghav said apologetically while sitting on the driver's seat.. Kalpi nodded her head and then looked away,"Right... discussion with Sammy sir who was not even there..", Kalpi thought sarcastically.. she hadn't seen Sammy and thought Raghav was lying..
"Sir..", Kalpi said.."Hmm Kalpana..", Raghav asked sweetly.."I think we should leave for office...", Kalpi finally blurted trying to supress that rising anger mixed with hurt and disappointment.. "But why?? I mean Kalpi we need to..", Raghav tried to say something but was interupted by Kalpi," No sir.. we do not need to talk.. why should we when you don't even care..", hurt was clearly evident in her voice but she refused to show him those tears which made up black orbs shine..
Raghav abruptly applied the brakes and looked at Kalpi and began in his angry tone,"I don't... I don't care?? Its actually the other way round Kalpana ... Here I am trying my best to sort out things between us (while stressing on us) and you think I don't care.. You wanna go to office to meet Prem..right??"
Shocked would be a small word to describe Kalpi's reaction.."He's the one wasting time on Maya and he's saying I'm going to meet Prem", she thought while staring angrily at him..
This time in a agitated tone she said," Sir think twice before you say anything .. And besides why should you even care whom I meet or what do I do?? who am I to you?? (I couldn't help but add this Hum aapke hai kaun??).. 😆
Her words were enough to silence him.. he knew his feelings but he would never say them aloud as a fear still lingered in his heart..
**********************************************************
After they reached the office both parted their ways with neither of them speaking even a word to other.. both were fighting the same battle of denying their feelings but for different reasons...
While Kalpi felt angry and guilty for letting that enemy of hers to hurt her and affect her so much, Raghav was trying to hide his feelings from himself as he did not want anyone even himself to hurt her and more than that he could not even bear the thought of Kalpi not not being a part of his life.. though as a friend or colleague or whatever ..she was there with him but his confession may just make her leave him forever..
P.S Raghav and Kalpi both need a big push to let them realise and accept their feelings and that push is coming soon..😉
Feel free to criticise as it helps me improve..😊
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
