********************************************
Texting on one phone while holding the other phone on her ear Kalpana was walking towards the door of her mansion closely followed by her driver who was as usual carrying a stack of files and her hand bag...
As she reached the door she placed the cell phone in the pocket of her black formal trouser and rang the door bell while talking on the other cell phone ,"Don't give me that old crap... Offer them double the price but I want that place booked for tomorrow's meeting.."
She hung up the phone and just then the door opened... before Kalpana could step inside a stick was held before her... "Not again..", she said while nodding her head...
"My Chocolates or no entry", a female who probably had something stuffed in her mouth said...
10 year old Kalpi entered her new mansion and heard someone sobbing ... She followed the source of the voice and found her sister crying with her face placed in between her folded legs and hands overing them...
Kalpi placed her hand on the girl's shoulder and the girl looked up...
Kalpi- Don't cry... (Searching something in her bag) Here have these chocolates..
Pakhi- (Nodded her head in a no)
Kalpi- Please
Paakhi- (Again nodded her head in no)
Kalpi- I'm your elder sister so you have to listen to me..
Paakhi- Ok but on one condition I'll have these..
Kalpi- Anything
Paakhi- You'll bring these for me everyday..
Kalpi- Your teeth will get decayed if you eat chocolates everyday..
Paakhi- Ok then I won't take these..
Kalpi- Ok baba I'll get them everyday..
"Paakhi aren't you forgetting this is my house and you're not letting me enter.. ", Kalpi replied ..
"If you want to enter in this house then give me my chocolates or you are free to your second home .. your beloved office...", Paakhi said in an equally authorative tone..
She was the only person who could talk to KJ like that ... With an expression that said she's-never-gonna-grow-up Kalpi took her handbag from the driver and held two dairy milk chocolates over the stick which was still in front of her..
Finally she was granted entry in her own house and as soon as she placed first step inside she felt the room is rotating as her dear sister was twirling her holding her hand...
"I'm so happy to see you di... I missed you a lot", Paakhi said while twirling Kalpi..
Holding the Paakhi's hand to stop her Kalpana said," Ok ok stop... Stop twirling me ... Gosh paakhi you're gonna get married soon and still behaving like a kid.."
Paakhi- I'll always be a kid for you..
Kalpi- Poor Sammy.. He's gonna marry a kiddo..
Paakhi- Ya .. Poor Sammy... He's so poor that he can't even call me ...
Kalpi- Ok now don't get lost in your Sammy land.. And by the way you missed me or the chocolates???..
Paakhi-"Actually ... Ummm... Chocolates" *wink*
Kalpi playfully hit paakhi's head..The two sisters shared a cute hug and headed to the couch placed in the living area...
Anyone who saw them would never believe that in reality these two were step sisters.. Paakhi Jadhav ... A model by profession was total opposite to her elder sister.. though Kalpi was name sake elder as paakhi was just one day younger to her but kalpi's nature showed the age difference...
Paakhi as usual was blabbering about her trip and Kalpi was listening to everything attentively like a child hearing a story... Few days back the place was just a huge mansion where there was so much silence that one would wonder whether anyone lived there and now it was a home filled with many people as paakhi loud voice echoed in the mansion...
Kamla who came out of her room saw her daughters chit-chatting and smiled.. While Kalpi was listening to Paakhi's non-stop blabber about her fashion show her eyes fell on the woman standing at some distance.. the smile on her face faded away... "Paakhi I have some work to do.. We'll talk in the morning..", saying so Kalpi got up and went to her room..
She was heading upstairs when Kamla called out to her," Kalpi won't you have dinner beta??"... "No.. and for you its KJ or Kalpana... only my loved ones can call me kalpi ..", she replied in her stern voice and headed upstairs to her room..
Paakhi went there and placed hand on kamla's shoulder... But before paakhi could say anything Kamla smiled and went from there...
