Part-14
Raghav came home. He was missing Kalpi already and he so wanted to agree with her of her coming back to their heaven.
He ate food with his mother and updated her about what they are planning against Pakhi to slow down her ulterior motives. She was stunned and at the same time felt proud to hear about Kalpi's intelligence.
Raghav went to bed and after tossing for a while he got up and called her. He didn't care a bit of the fact that everybody will get up. He was badly missing her. "Jaan...what are you doing right now." "Raghav it has just been few hours and like all people do at night I am also sleeping." "jhoot mat bolo mujhe need nai aa rahi to tumhe kaise aa sakti hai..." Chalo ab bahar aao (Don't so a lie if I have not feeling sleepy then how can you sleep...come outside)and lets talk for a while. Kalpi was also mising him badly. She came outside and they both started talking.
Hours seemed minutes for the love birds and after talkibg for almost 3 hours and hearing yawns of each other they finally went to sleep.
The morning was usual. Kamla tried to talk but Kalpi ignored her. Kamla lost her patience and asked angrily "Why are you ignoring me Kalpi?" "I am not ignoring you Aai why would I do that." "You have not talked to me since the time you came here." "What should I talk to you when we don'g have anything to talk." "Ok then answer me." "Why did you behave so rudely with Pakhi." "Aai for Pakhi I am not answerable to you nor to anyone else. And I came here not to talk about Pakhi or her life...so better don't discuss that girl with me and if you don't have any other topic which I know you don't have coz all these years you were just busy with Pakhi so its better that you don't talk with me because I am certainly not in the mood to talk about her." She went into the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for office. After leaving home Vitthal too got ready for his work.
Kamla was still in shock while Vitthal looked onto her. "Did you just see how she talked with me...Vitthal we never ever taught her to behave in such a manner." "Think this way Kamla was she completely wrong or did her harshness had a lil bit of thruth behind it. Think...you will get all your answers." Vitthal gave her back and left her to think about all those years where her own children needed her the most and she was not there. Of all those times when they felt ignored, lonely and sad coz she was not there with them.
Kalpi reached office. She composed herself, yesterday also she gave in and cried spoling Raghav's mood. "I cannot just keep on crying like this. My weakness will become my enemy's strength and most importantly it will break my Raghav's resolve. I want to be his strength." She toom deep breaths and stepped out of lift.Raghav was standing against the wall waiting for her. Looking at her face, he knew things ain't right yet but her body language was far more confident than yesterday. She smiled looking at him and he hugged her tightly once again assuring her that every thing will be fine.
They were seated in the office when Sammy came in and this time after knocking the door for now Raghav was not single and he cannot just come anytime and invade his privacy.
"Hi Bhabhi" "Hi Sammy". I have done your work." "Did Kapoors get to know" "Nope... and they won't after all they are highly impressed with Pakhi's work and now that Board has given consent they won't think of anything else. Things are under control." "Thats better" Raghav said with a smirk.
The trio sat down and discussed the the presentation and made the required changes. As per instruction the meeting was pre-poned and Kalpi was suppose to present it on Thursday and the report will go to construction association which will put direct impact on Mr.Jain's thinking and Pakhi's presentation will turn out to be a flop show.
"Sir, a man name Mr. Vitthal Jadhav have come to visit you. Shall I send him in." "Of course...he is my father...send him in and from next time don't make him wait in lobby bring him in my cabin." "Ok Sir."
"Baba is here...is there any problem Jaan" "No... nothing as such is there...and he didn't even tell me about this visit." "Let see guys...there must be something."
"May I come in" Vitthal aksed. "Baba don't embarass me. Please." "Raghav this is your work space and I cannot just come like this." He went near and hugged him. "Don't mind but may I ask you the reason behind your visit." "Of course you can ask." Vitthal smiled and settled down on sofa. "I think our purpose is almost fulfilled, today for the first time and I saw guilt in Kamla's eyes. And now we should give her space so that she realises her mistakes and think over how to mend ways." "But Baba...how can I...Raghav...ye...Baba what are you saying. What if Pakhi comes and change her mindset again." "It won't even if Pakhi comes again and I can say this coz I have seen the guilt and if you will stretch it further it will spoil everything that we have done till now. Give her time now she needs it. Trust me I have thought about it a lot and its time you should go back to your home. Raghv I am inviting you all for dinner at our home. I had a word with Kamla and she wanted Kalpi to stay some more days with us but I toldher that she cannot...she wanted to make an attempt to mend relations but nothing comes for free not even forgiveness. She should learn that and it will only hapoen if she won't see you for dew days. Your words will echo kn her ears making her think over the matter again and again."
Somewhere Raghav and Sammy agreed with him but Kalpi was still unsure about this but seeing the determined expressions of her father she stopped and accepted the decision. She was happy inside as she was going to be back with Raghav but leaving her Baba and Dada was painful. She has been so used to of living without her Aai tgat she knew she won't miss her that much.
Kamla was preparing for the evening when Manda came in."Kya Kmla Tai kiske liye itni taiyari kar rahi ho." "Woh Manda aaj Raghav Baba aane wale hai Kalpi ko lene toh bas unke swagat ki taiyari kar rahi hun. Tujhe kuch chiye tha kya." "Arre nai nai Tai...meko kuch nai chaiye. Woh toh kya hai itni mast khushboo aa rahi thi ki meine socha tumko aake puchu kuch khas hai kya...chalo mei chalti hai."
"Maja aayega Raghav Baba ke aane ki baat Pakhi Baby ko batati hun...dekhna daudte hue aayegi aur sham ko mazedaar hungama hoga."Manda smiled wickedly and called Pakhi to inform her about Raghav's arrival in the chawl tonight.
On hearing about his arrival Pakhi planned to visit chawl in the pretext of meeting Kamla Maa and taking blessings for tomorrow's big day. She smiled evily and thought "Get ready Kalpi...I am coming...and certainly I am not going to let you enjoy the evening. And Raghav you...you too get ready. "
So its going to be technically first face off between Raghav-Kalpi and Pakhi. Earlier she met Kalpi and Raghav seperately but this time she is going to meet them together. What will she do...what will happen...will there be any chaos or RagNa will handle the situation.
There is very good saying in Hindi "Vinashkalin Viprit Buddhi" which means when you are near to your end you tend to do wrong things at wrong time. Pakhi is nearing to her end and thats why she is flying high on her over confidence. She doesn't know that now Kamla is actually thinking of the mistakes she made in her past and now she is not going to blindly believe in all that Pakhi says about herself and Kalpi or Raghav.
(Yes guys two or three updates and then Pakhi's character will be over...can't write more on her as of now...may be I can bring her back but only on your demand...mera mann toh bilkul bhi nahi hai)
Thanks & Enjoy Reading đ
