Part 2 - Past, Present and FUTURE
This was a daily morning routine in the Jhadav Mansion with Kalpana making their favorite dishes and serving them. Suddenly their chattering was being interrupted by the door bell.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"Kalpana jake dekho toh kaun hai"
(Kalpana see who's on the door)said Kamla.
"Ji maa..."
Kalpana nodded her head and went to open the door. As she opened the door, a courier man came into the view.
"Mam, Mr. Vitthal Jhadav ke naam pe yeh courier aaya hai"
(Mam, there is a courier for Mr. Vitthal Jhadav)
"Here, give it to me"says Kalpana.
Kalpana signed the receipt and walked inside closing the door behind her.

FLASHBACK:
Few minutes earlier:
When the courier guy was about to ring the door bell. A voice called out to him from behind.
"Suniye bhaiya...rukiye ek minute"
(Bhaiya listen...wait a minute)
Hearing the voice the guy turned around only to see a slim looking girl walking towards him.
"Kya hua madam?"
(What happen madam?)the Courier guy asked the girl.
"Who bhaiya kiska courier aaya hai?"
(Umm...bhaiya who's courier is this?)the girl asked him.
"Ji madam ek toh Mr. Vitthal Jhadav ke naam ka letter hai aur ek Miss Kalpana Jhadav ke naam pe hai."
(Ji madam one is for Mr. Vitthal Jhadav and the other one is for Miss Kalpana Jhadav)
The girl then said something to him and takes the letter from him who was addressed to Kalpana with her and walks away while on the other side the courier guy turned towards the door and rings the door bell.
FLASHBACK ENDS.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"Kaun tha Kalpana wahan darwaze pe?"
(Who was there Kalpana?)asked Vitthal.
"Papa who courier wala tha, aapke liye courier aaya hai" (Courier guy papa...you've got one)says Kalpana.
"Lao dikhao"
(Give it to me)said Vitthal.
Kalpana handed the envelope to her dad and as soon as Vitthal opened up and read the letter, his face brightened like a 100 watt bulb.
"Papa kya hua, aisa kya hai iss letter mein?"
(What happen papa, what is in this letter?)asked Ankit curiously.
"Boliye na papa, kya likha hai isme?"
(Tell na papa...what is written in that letter?)Pakhi piped in as Kalpana and Kamla also waited curiously for the answer.
"Arre bhai, maine tum logon ko bataya tha na ki aaj meri ek important deal sign hone wali hai, jisse humhe bahut fayda hoga bas ussi ka acceptance aaya hai...WE'VE GOT THE DEAL!!!!"
(I've told you guys that today one of my most important deals is going to signed which will benefit us in long term...this is the acceptance letter of that only...WE'VE GOT THE DEAL!!!!)Vitthal screamed with happiness.
Soon the whole house erupted in happiness creating loud noises, some cheering, some hugging, laughing and crying. As Kalpana turned and hugged her father tight wishing him "Congratulations papa...I'm soo happy for you"said Kalpana smiling widely.
Vitthal rudely pushes her off which makes her stumble back a little but she holds herself from falling down with the help of the table. Pakhi and Ankit silently giggled seeing this.
"Haan, haan theek hai"
(Yes, yes it's fine)Vitthal said disinterested.
Kalpana smile started to fade but it came back as quickly as it was gone. She will not take it to her heart and now was used to this kind of behavior. But nevertheless she was happy as finally her father hard work pays off. She mentally thanked her god and prayed for her family happiness to always remain entact like this. After few minutes, Kalpana brings sweets from the kitchen for celebrating the news.
"Papa, aaj itni achi news mili hai, kyun na hum celebrate kare"
(Papa, today we've got such a good news, why don't we celebrate it)says Pakhi excitedly.
"Haan papa, Pookha sahi keh rahi hai...kyun na hum abhi ek mini outing ke liye jaye?"
(Yes papa, Pookha is right...why don't we go for a mini outing?) asked Ankit.
Pakhi and Kalpana's eyes brightened up with excitement.
"Mini outing...kya?"
(What...mini outing?)asked Kamla being confused.
"Uffo maa, mini outing matlab shopping + movie + dinner...wow kitna maza aayega, chaliye na maa papa please"
(Uffo maa, mini outing means shopping + movie + dinner...wow it'll be so much fun, please maa papa)Pakhi explained.
Vitthal appeared to be giving it a thought.
"Chaliye na maa papa"
(Please maa papa)Kalpana also pleaded.
"Theek hai chalte hai"
(Okay...we can go)said Vitthal and Kamla also nodded in approval agreeing with him.
Kalpana's eyes glistened with happiness and excitement on the aspect of going out with her family and celebrating but before she could voice out her thoughts Kamla interrupted her breaking her line of thoughts.
"Tu yahan khade-khade kya muskura rahi hai Kalpana, humare aane pehle, mujhe saara kaam pura milna chahiye...samjhi tu"
(What are you doing here smiling Kalpana, before we came back, I want all the works to be finished...you understand)said Kamla sternly.
"Par maa, main bhi..."
(But maa...I also...)Kalpana started to say but never got a chance to complete her words as father's voice interrupted her making her flinch.
"Suna nai tune...ja jake apna kaam kar"
(You didn't listen...go do your work)said Vitthal shouting at her.
"Huh, badi aayi humare saath chalne wali"
(Dreaming of coming with us...huh)Pakhi sneered.
Kalpana hurriedly went to her room feeling scared with tears streaming down at her face. As soon as she reached her room, she closed the door behind her and sat down on the floor with her head resting on the bed and tears continuously flowing down on her soft cascaded cheeks. After few more minutes of continuous crying there were no more tears left to shed, the painful look into her eyes has been replaced by a faraway look but in reality looking at nothing in particular. She really wanted to go and spend some time with her parents and celebrating with them as its been soo long she'd actually gone out enjoying and spending time with someone but unfortunately never got the opportunity to.
Suddenly, there was sound of door bell which were succeeded in bringing her back from the thoughts which will only give nothing but pain. She reached the door and opened it to find a young girl, with big round shape eyes shadowed by rim shaped spectacles, grinning cutely at her.
"Tum yahan"
(You here)said Kalpana genuinely surprised.
"Haan main, kyun nai aa sakti"
(Yes me...why can't I come)says the girl smilingly.
"Nai nai aisa nai hai, I'm very happy to see you yaar, I missed you soo much Anji"
(No no it's not like that, I'm very happy to see you yaar, I missed you soo much Anji) saying Kalpana hugged the girl tightly.
Yes, the girl here is Anjali.
"I missed you too Kalpi soo much"said Anjali happily hugging her back.
"Tum theek toh hona Kalpi, unn logon ne tumhe pareshan toh nahi kia"
(You okay na Kalpi, those people don't trouble you much na)said Anjali roaming her eyes all over her body checking for any mark of injuries present there.
"Main bilkul theek hun Anji, tu chinta mat kar"
(I am fine Anji, you don't worry)says Kalpana smilingly.
"Tu chup kar Kalpi, chinta toh hogi hi na"
(Shut up Kalpi...it will worry me always)said Anjali holding her elbow while walking inside.
"Waise yeh tumhare chidiya ghar ke prani nazar nai aa rahe hai kahi...kahan hai sab?"
(Where are the habitants of your zoo...I can't find them here) said Anjali looking around the empty house not that she was in any mood to meet them.
"Anji...chup aise mat bol, jaise bhi hai meri family hai...who kya hai na, aaj papa ki ek bahut badi deal sign hui hai...islye sab celebrate karne ke liye bahar gaye hai" (Anji...please don't say like that, however they are they are my family...and today papa signed a big deal so they have all gone out to celebrate)said Kalpana, her expressions changing from once happy to now sad.
"Aur tumhe unn logon ne saath le jane se mana kar dia hoga?"
(And they have denied taking them with you?)asked Anjali tersely.
"Nai Anji...who toh maine hi mana karr dia...a tha..."
(No Anji...I only den...y th...em...)says Kalpana but seeing Anjali glaring at her, her voice become low with every passing syllable as she knows that she was blatantly saying a lie.
"Huh...unn logon se aur expect bhi kya kar sakte hai" (Huh...what else can I expect from them)Anjali muttered.
They were now in Kalpana's room.
"Acha yeh sab chod na...aur bata kya kar rahi thi aaj kal"
(Okay leave it...tell me what are you doing nowadays)asked Kalpana sitting on the bed beside Anjali.
"Main aisa kuch karke aa rahi hun...jisse teri aur meri kismet hamesha-hamesha ke liye badal jayegi"
(I have done something that will change yours and mine life forever)said Anjali smiling mischievously at her before flashing two white colored envelopes in front of her eyes which were addressed to both of them respectively.
Kalpana's eyes widened at realization and her heart literally stop beating for a second in anticipation of what is hidden behind those white covers.
