Part 6 - Confused Souls
Kalpana's POV:
I sat here on the bed thinking about the event that
occurred few minutes ago.
"What was that?" I said thinking out aloud.
I won't lie if I said it scared the daylights out of me. It
never happened to me before as I really haven't got any opportunity to communicate much to the opposite sex. Why of all, a stranger evoked such feelings inside me, making me confused at the same time shocked at my own reactions which I was not aware till now. Why was he in so much pain? I remembered how I immediately ran out of the mall and hired the auto to home, not forgetting to
message Kaustaki about my sudden disapperance from there. I just couldn't stand there and the only thing that came to my mind was to get out of there at any cost.
Now, the question that was bothering me for quite a while was "Why was he looking so familiar like I know him from years, especially his eyes" I said to myself.
Eyes...deep chocolate brown and oh his face...those sharp cheekbones, chiseled jaw and such luscious lip...
"Uhh...Drooling are we?!!" a voice said smirking inside my head interrupting my wayward thoughts. Coming back to present I thought about the issue of HIM looking familiar.
"Urgh...what happens to my memory power at time like this, when it's clearly needed." I said frustratingly as I was not getting any clue.
I let out a sigh, I guess I had to go with the flow for now hoping it would not make my life more complicated as it already was.
Suddenly the sound of my mobile ringing filled my whole room breaking my stupor. I started singing the song along with my cell as it's one of my favorite song "Count on me - by Bruno Mars". At first I didn't like it much but slowly as the time passed I fell in love with it. I didn't care to look at the name while picking up the call as I know who would be calling me.
As soon as I put the phone near my ear, I had to move it away as Anjali's voice pierced through the speakers making me flinch.
"What the hell Kalpi, how much time will it take to pick up the damn phone?" she asked me damn pissed which was easy to guess from her tone.
Before I could answer she continued
"Wait, lemme guess, you were singing that song along with the cell right?" she asked me in a 'duh' tone.
"Ah! you know me so well Anji and waise bhi it's your fault, you made me love this song by setting it up as my phone ringtone." I said playfully hoping her anger would have reduced by now.
True to my words, I'm actually thankful to her, as it saved me a lot of time cooking up an excuse for delaying in picking up the call.
"Ah yeah...I shouldn't be surprised if you did it again, coz I'm here to smack you for that" she said to me sarcastically. I could feel the smile in her voice and rolling her eyes at me.
"Uffo Kalpi, now don't deviate from the topic, I was worried you know when I didn't find you behind me in the mall and you send me a message that you are halfway on your home" she said to me sounding worried.
"Haan, I'm sorry Anji, woh I remembered some work at home which I forgot to finish so I came back in hurry without informing you" I lied through my teeth hoping she would buy it as I don't want to think about that incident anymore, but whom am I kidding she wouldn't as it got proved by her next question.
"Are you sure Kalpi, you are not lying to me na?" she asked suspiciously.
"Arre, I'm 100% sure Anji and why would I lie to you" I said feeling guilty for lying to her.
'I'm sorry Anji...I myself is not understanding it then how will I explain it to you" I thought.
"Okay fine, but you tell me when are you going to talk to your family about college, coz we didn't have much time left and it's sure gonna take hell lot of time" Anjali said.
I took a while to answer
"Don't worry, I'll talk to them tomorrow and make sure they'll agree to it as you said if not by being Jhadav then sure by an Oberoi" I said assuring her.
"Oh yes, Miss Oberoi I'm very excited to know how you handle it, all the best...acha I've to go now and buy some things will talk to you later" she said excitedly.
"Ohkay bye" I hang up the call and look at the clock beside my bed only to see it's 7 in the evening now. I couldn't believe how much time has passed of me thinking and talking to Anjali.
I hurriedly went out of the room and to the living room wondering what shall I do now to pass my time as I have completed all my chores and also maa, papa will be arriving around 10 in night.
Finally settling for watching a movie and which to my luck is my favorite movie 'Kuch Kuch hota hai'. I started watching it placing myself comfortably on the couch.
Raghav POV:
I came out of the shop still in a haze of what happened and due to my lack of concentration, I bumped into someone. I look up to say sorry only to find Sammy standing there looking worried.
"Arre Raghav sambhal ke, tum kahan khoye hue ho?"
(Careful Raghav, where are you lost?) Sammy asked me.
"Kuch nai...tu mujhe yeh bata, teri sari shopping ho gayi ya abhi bhi karni baki hai?"
(Nothing...have you finished your shopping or is there more left?) I asked him a little irritated as I'm clearly not in mood to do any shopping.
"Nai nai Raghav sab ho gayi hai aur baki ki main baad mein kabhi kar lunga"
(No Raghav it's done and rest I'll do later) Sammy said silently to me probably sensing my irritation.
I dropped Sammy to his home and quickly made ways
towards mine. I entered through the main door and
scurried off to my room without answering numerous calls of Kaka.
I exhaled out a loud sigh as I entered my room. I closed my eyes for a moment and take a deep breath to gain some composure which seemed to be a really difficult task few minutes back. The picture of that masked girl flashed infront of my eyes making me open my eyes with jerk. I clearly remembered her big beautiful eyes and the
emotion they were carrying in them. At that moment, I wanted nothing but to stare in those golden orbs and reduce the pain in them.
I snapped at that thought
"What the hell is happening to me and who is she?"
"Why is she is looking so familiar to me?"
"Have I met her before?"
I wanted to find answers to these questions but is not getting any. I was frustrated.
"Why do I feel such strange emotions for that girl?"
GIRL, Yes I hate them. So why I'm feeling like this, they do nothing but destroying other's life and only care about themselves.
"I must have mistaken something and that girl did not affect me any way." I said out loud satisfied with my conclusion, I moved on and thought to take shower for a while.
Kalpana's POV:
As the movie got finished, my mood was really happy and fresh. The movie was as usual awesome.As soon as I got up from my comfortable position on couch, the door bell rang indicating the arrival of my family.
I opened the door and let them inside. Judging from the happy and content expressions from their faces that they had an amazing time in their mini-outing. I let out a sad sigh as I too want someone with whom I can spend my time with and share emotions whole-heartedly.
"Mom, main bahut thak gayi hun...main ab apne room mein sone ja rahi hun"
(Mom, I'm so tired...I'm going in my room to sleep) Pakhi said tiredly.
"Haan ab toh main bhi bahut thak chuki hun...chaliye sab chalkar so jate hai"
(Yes, even I'm very tired...let's go to sleep everyone) Kamla said.
All of them nodded and retired to their rooms for
the night. I went to my room and laid down on my bed, fully snuggling up in the warmth provided by my quilt.
As I thought, it was an eventful day afterall. Now,
tomorrow I have to think of how to approach the topic of college to my parents and for that I need ample amount of energy to go through another day. Unable to stop, I let myself drown in the thoughts of the familiar stranger with a small smile playing on my lips.
Nobody's POV:
