Part-3
Kalpi was standing under the Chandelier. She thought it to be a perfect timing to kill her. She looked at the Chandelier and it started moving down from ceiling. Slowly the distance started decreasing. She smiled wickedly, on being certain about Kalpi's end. Oblivious about the happenings Kalpi was talking to one of the guests.
"Guruji she...she is close to death. Guruji do something...he cannot pull this all alone. Guruji why are you standing still!!!! Do something..." Madhav said completely dreaded by the situation. "I cannot do Madhav... may know certain things priorly but I cannot change future." He turned to look at Matarani. His baffled expressions were clear enough to say he was unaware about this uncalled situation. He looked back and waited for the scene to unfold before him with confused mind, hopeful heart and startled eyes.
Of all the girls present, Kalpi was the only one who unknowingly managed to grab attention of Raghav. He found her different. Occassionally he was stealing glances at her and thats when he noticed the danger that was about to befall her. She looked at him accidently and before she could comprehend the meaning of his wide eyes which were reflecting a mixture of shock and fear the entire hall went silent.
The chandelier strike the floor with a loud noise shuddering every voice beneath its own. The shattered pieces of glass were scattered everywhere. Everyone present in the hall went numb. It was not an ordinary chandelier but a very heavy one which had adorned the area and has increased its beauty. But now it was just reduced to pieces. If anybody would have been standing there his death was certain on top of it it would have been impossible to recognize his face.
After few moments the silence was broken when Nandini screamed. Jijisa...Bhaisa." Its only then the entire gaze shifted on two people who were lying on floor. Technicalky Kalpi was on floor and Raghav was on top of her. Hukumsa,Munimsa,Buasa, Nandini and Ranisa rushed towards them while the entire crowd gathered to see whether they are fine ore not.
"Kalpi" Her father screamed,the pain of almost loosing his daughter can be felt in his voice. "Kunwarji" Buasa screamed. While the trio was too shocked to react. Raghav turned and looked at the entire crowd including his family. He slowly got up and helped Kalpi to get up. Kalpi was shivering out of pain while Rghav was looking at the dreadful site. "What exactly happened?" Munim Kakasa questionned. "Kakasa Kalpana was standing right under the chandelier." Ranima hugged her tightly on realiing why she was shivering so much. "Its okay...you are fine. Relax and calm down. All is fine..hmmm" She nodded while others looked at her. "Kunwarji...are you okay?" "I am fine Kakasa, luckily we escaped a major accident." The guests heaved a sigh of relied on hearing thse words.
Considering the situation the party was called off. Everybody took leave of the Royal family. The media also got aware of the incident and it was certain that its going to become the main headline of every newspapers. While the TV was already flashing it as Breaking News. Kalpana was still reeling under the effects of the incident that happened few minutes before.
"What is happening? I was so close in finishing her. How come he came in between? When I tried to kill him she came there to save her and now he came here to save her. What is all this happening? I won't give up.They have to die...they have to die...die"
"Jai Mata di" Guruji took a deep breath. A satisfying smile on his face. "Guruji she failed." Yes my son she failed. Its clear destiny has chsoen them to reveal what has been hidden from the kigdom since generations. Time will protect them." He smiled enigmatically.
Anger and happiness, two contradictory feelings were running in those two areas.
Kalpi was taken home by her father. Though Ranisa insisted a lot yet Munimsa was adamant to take her home. "How are you feeling beta?" He asked concernedly. "I am fine Babasa. Don't worry. " He hugged her tightly and she relaxed in his arms. "I am so happy beta for a moment a I felt I lost you. All thanks to Matarani and Kunwarji who came in time and saved you." He kissed her forehead and she drifted off to sleep. The day had been really tiring for her.
Raghav came in his room. The events had been tiresome for him to. Earlier he got locked up in his bathroom inspite of the fact that the room was locked from inside and now the chandelier fell down. He knew his father had taken care of everything and got the arrangements double checked then how come the chandelier fell down. Its not mking sense. But then it may be a coincidence. God knows what is it but somewhere I am sure things are not the way as it has been shown. Theres more to it.
Hukumsa was pondering over the events. The same question which Raghav had was running across his mind. The only difference being he was unaware of the accident that hapened with Raghav. "Whats happening? Such incident has never ever happened before. How come..."The puzzled look on his face changed into shock..."Did she...Has she...Is she...Back!!!" He closed his eyes and remembered what he had been told when his father was on his death bed. "No...this can't be...but then this was the same reason for which I didn't want him to come back. Why Raghav...why did you come back." A defeated father looked towards his wife who slept peacefully unknown to the danger that has engulfed the palace and entire state.
"What is it? Why did it happen? I am not sure whether it has something related to what happened with Kunwarji. But then why my heart is saying me again and again that there is something fishy. But what...who did this?"Munimsa thought while resting on his bed.
Kalpi was also finding it difficult to sleep. The events that happened consecutively were not allowing her to sleep. She tried hard but she kept tossing on her bed finding atleast one way to sleep. But night seem long for the entire Royal family as well as Munimsa's family.
"Guruji its just the beginning. They are unaware of the dnager posing before them. How will they fight against it."
"I know Madhav its just beginning and see though being unprepared yet they defeated her. The battle has just started and its going to stay for long. But I trust them. I know they will pull it off. And this incident was a clear sign that they are going to make it. Just wait and watch." He smiled enigmatically.
Morning came in. The air had the traces of last night. Though nobody was vocal but everybody had just one thought in their mind.
To clear his mind Raghav thought of going on for a walk. While getting ready he took Kalpi's mobile and thought to give it back while returning home. Kalpi was stressed too and for her there was only one stress burster Dance. Though she was modern but it was classical dance that she loved the most especially Kathak. She went upstairs to take her ghunghroos and started her session. Soon she felt her mind at peace.The nerves were getting relaxed and her beats were coming to normal.
Over there Raghav too started feeling relaxed.The cool air was playing a magic on him and he felt peaceful.He was coming back when he heard the sound of ghunghroos. He stoped in his tracks and looked here and there. The sound was coming from Kaka's home. Momentarily forgetting why he wanted to go abd meet Kalpi he went to her home following the sound that was now coming much more louder than before. Nobody was there inside the home or atleast he didn't see anyone there and again followed the direction from where the sound was coming. He approached towards the room from where the sound was coming. He turned the knob and opened the door. He peeped inside and was stunned by the most beautiful view.
He was mesmerised by her performance. Every move she took was crisp. The mudras, the expressions, it wasn't just her body which swayed on the floor her eyes were dancing as well. With the change in beat her expression changed. She didn't miss a single beat. She danced in the room as if she was all alone in this world and there is nobody to look at. She spin around continously and finally the music peace ended. It was a serene view for Ragha. He could witness pure bliss on her face. She sat down and opened her ghunghroos oblivious of his presence. She kept them at proper place and turned to move outside. She was startled to see him there and to early in the morning.
"Kunwarji aap yahan" Her sweet concerned voice brought him back and he fell short of words. He himself didn't know why he was here. He looked at her trying to find an excuse and thats when he remembered about her phone. "I...I came here to give you back what is rightfully yours." He said with a smile plastered on his face. On getting a puzzled look from her he picked out her phone from his pocket and showed her. "Ahh my phone I forgot it last night. Thank You. But why did you come for such a thing you could have sent any servant for it." Raghav frowned on seeing her hesitance but he was determined to be friends with her."Well actually I came out for a walk so carried your phone alongwith me." "Ohh...I am sorry...I mean Thank You."
They both looked at each other and shared a bried eye lock. Kalpi lowered her eyes while Raghav kept gazing at her. His heart was thumping inside with joy of seeing her dancing and getting the chance to meet her while already planning to get another chance.
When two people are bound to be together no fear can shake their bond and no situation can break their ties. They can together fight against the whole world and they can be the world for each other.
Thanks & Enjoy Reading 😊
