Ragna SS-Love: the one that gives pain& cures pain (P32,PG 142) - Page 24

A week passes like that with raghav trying very hard to talk to kalpi but every time something comes in between such as phone calls, or one of their friends (to be more precise, kabab me haddis), or sometimes kalpi herself in her denial mood not ready to listen to raghav. So, raghav decided to talk to her no matter what happens. Like giving a chance to him, his mom, gauri told sammy and maya to invite their new business partners (kalpi, aj and priya) to their house for pooja. Sammy invited them and kalpi also agreed to come as her mom have said that one shouldn't say no to pooja.

Evening came. Sammy, maya and gauri are busy doing preparation for pooja at home with the help of the maid servants. While raghav was in the terrace of his mansion planning on how to corner kalpi and tell her about the truth. He was wearing a red sherwani looking handsome as always. All of a sudden he heard screeching of tyres downstairs, indicating kalpi is here with her friends. So, he ran downstairs quickly to join sammy, maya and his mom to welcome them. This is the first time kalpi is coming to his house. Ramu kaka opened the door revealing aj and priya. They were also in traditional wear. They greeted gauri, sammy, maya and raghav. Raghav was wondering where is kalpi.

R: " aj, where is kalpi?" he asked impatiently.

Gauri was surprised by her son's impatience. Now, she is eager to see the 'kalpi' as she heard from sammy and maya about her and the cafeteria incident.

Aj: " oh kalpi? She is in the car. She is talking to the mr. Sinha, our senior executive officer from boston about some business work. She will be here."

Pri: " oh.. Look.. Here she comes."

Raghav was mesmerised by the beauty in front of his eyes. Kalpi was wearing a beautiful white sari with golden border. She was looking so devine in that sari. Gauri also was in awe seeing such a beautiful girl.

Kalpi came towards them. Sammy introduced kalpi to gauri. Kalpi bend down and touched gauri's feet to get ashirwad. Gauri was touched by her humbleness and respect for elders. While raghav smiled looking at her.

Gauri put her hand on kalpi's head and blessed her.

G: " may u get all happiness in the world beta. Hope u get a very loving husband and a long life," saying so she hugged kalpi.

Kalpi was touched by gauri's actions. Gauri is the same as to what raghav described about her when they were in relationship. Then, all of them proceeded with the pooja. The pooja went on with ragna occasionally stealing glances at each other. After the pooja, sammy, maya, aj, pri and gauri engaged themselves in friendly talks while raghav and kalpi were almost quiet. Even when they talked they have hidden meaning of taunting each other behind their words. It was not gone unnoticed by the other five. They could see there is something between the duo.

After sometime, gauri stood up saying she will get coffee and snacks for all.

K: " aunty, u sit. I will get them for u." , saying so she left to the kitchen.

Using that chance, giving an excuse to drink water, raghav followed her to the kitchen. Kalpi was busy preparing coffee and arranging the snacks on a plate. She froze feeling raghav's breath at the back of her ears. Her breathing stopped.

K: " mr singhania... U... What.. I.."

R: " hmmm..." , he nuzzled near her ears.

Panicking, kalpi turn around to face raghav. Haha... (That was bad move kalpi!) she cursed herself for turning around as their lips were close to each other within kissing distance...they were lost in each others eyes... Their eye lock break when...

Pri: " kalpi! Sweetie what r u doing? U need any help?", she shouted from the hall where all are waiting.

K:" no... Im coming pri..", she said in fear.

She was about to go but raghav put his hands on either side of her waist capturing her in between the kitchen counter and him. Kalpi was annoyed.

K: " mr singhania... What r u doing? Anybody will come anytime. Let me go."

Raghav made no effort to release her. Instead, he moved his head closer to kalpi's and whispered near her ears.

R: " kyun? When we were in college, u weren't shy. Now, what happened?", he asked huskily and kiss her right cheek.

[well, now u guys know ready that ragna are college sweethearts]

Kalpi was startled with the sudden proximity, kalpi dropped the coffee cup. Hearing the sound everyone came there and they were shocked to see ragna very close each other.

G: "raghav, whats happening here?"

Kalpi pushed raghav away from her and started walking out towards the door. Raghav followed her leaving behind the five other who are confused. He is determined to tell kalpi about the truth today.

Gauri, sammy, maya, aj and pri are dumbfounded with raghav and kalpi's behaviour. As kalpi walked towards the door, she felt a strong grip on her wrist. She very well know its raghav. She stopped but didnt turn back to look into his dark brown eyes which always make her forget herself.

R:" not today kalpi. Im not going to allow u leave this place without giving my explanations.", he said defiantly.

Kalpi turn around to face raghav and determined to finish all today.

K: " oh... U even have explanation for ur cheap doing four years back. Bravo! And if u think i will forgive u, pls delete that thought from ur mind. Because thats not gonna happen," kalpi answered in anger.

Realisation hit priya and aj. They came to know that raghav is the one who is responsible for kalpi's pain for the past 4 yrs. Without thinking aj went near raghav and grabbed his collar. Sammy, maya and gauri dont know what to do. They were shocked to know that raghav and kalpi know each other even before past four years.So, they decided to be silent spectators.

Aj: " babydoll, is he the one who broke ur heart? IS HE?" He shouted.

Tears that kalpi kept to herself was flowing continuously giving answers to aj's question Aj started punching raghav and raghav made no attempts to prevent the blow. He was just looking at kalpi who was comforted by priya. Sammy came in between to prevent aj from hitting raghav. But raghav asked him to stay away. Kalpi tried hard not to stop aj but the love for raghav in her heart made her feel his pain. She went near aj.

K: " AJ! AJ! PLS STOP! I SAID STOP IT AJ!" she was begging aj but he didnt let raghav go.

Blood was flowing from raghav's nose and mouth. Seeing that everyone tried to stop aj but all gone in vein.

K: " AJ, PLS STOP HITTING HIM. HE WILL DIE IF U KEEP BEATING HIM LIKE THAT. PLS!"

Aj: " LET HIM DIE. HE DESERVES DEATH FOR HURTING U!"

Kalpi lost hope and said,

K: " I WILL DIE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIM!", kalpi said sobbing.

Everyone shocked to see that from kalpi. Aj left raghav and went near kalpi. Kalpi's head was low and she was crying looking at the floor. Aj went near kalpi and hugged her tightly.

Aj: " babydoll, what r u saying? How can u do such things? U know how much me, priya, abhi uncle and divya aunty love u? Just for saving him, the same person who broke ur heart, how could u use such words? Don't even use that word for joke," he cried while priya put a comforting hand on aj's shoulder.

Whereas, on the other side, sammy, maya and gauri were helping raghav to stand up.

K: " I WAS NOT JOKING AJ. IM SERIOUS. I WILL DIE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIM", saying kalpi dropped herself on the floor and cried bitterly.

Everybody's expression softens hearing her words. Raghav was looking at her lovingly. But he was again hurt by her words.

K: " but it doesn't mean that i forgive him. I will always hate him."

Pri: " raghav, i dont know what happened between u two. All we know is u r the one who broke her heart. She never told us the reason but we know u surely would have done something unforgivable. And now why are u hurting her more. Wont u let her live peacefully? U dont love her. So just let her alone," priya said frustratedly.

R: " I DO! I DO LOVE HER! I LOVE HER MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!" , raghav shouted and all looked at him.

Sammy, maya and gauri are shocked with raghav's sudden confession. While aj and priya looked at him angrily and kalpi was still crying.

Raghav went near kalpi and kneel down next to her. He ignored the angry glare from aj and pulled kalpi's chin up to look into his eyes.Tears are flowing continuously from her eyes. It hurts raghav to see her in this situation. He wiped her tears and spoke softly to her.

R: " baby, look at me. I.. I want to talk to u. Pls give me a chance to explain. Pls... "

Aj: " babydoll lets leave!", he said holding kalpi's hand.

Kalpi followed aj and priya. Raghav's words made her stop on track.

R:" IF U EVER LOVED ME, PLS LISTEN TO ME ONCE," his own tears started flowing.

Pri: " kalpi, lets go..", but kalpi didn't move. His words made her stop.

K: " mr singhania, tell me what u wanna tell me?"

R: " i want to talk to u alone."

K: " its ok, mr singhania. As everybody here know about us, its better u talk to me here."

Left with no other choice, raghav inhaled and started speaking whereas kalpi looked at him emotionlessly.

R: " kalpi, that day.. That day... What u saw was not true. I.. I love u.. I love only u... What u saw was a lie," he said sincerely.

K: " it was a drama? And u love me? Seriously? Stop making fool of me mr singhania! You never loved me!", she laughed mockingly at raghav.

Raghav was fed up. He took quick steps towards kalpi and hold her wrist tightly.

Aj: " raghav!"

Raghav gave a deadly glare to aj and said,

R: " i need to talk to her personally. Nobody... I repeat nobody stops me from doing so!", he said glancing at all the occupants of the room.

Then he dragged her to his room and closed the door with a bang causing kalpi to jump slightly in fear. The room was dark and kalpi could only see raghav who was near her.

R: " what u said? I never loved u? I never loved u? Then see this," saying so he switched on the lights.

Kalpi was shocked. Her angry face turns soft. The room was full of her photos.. Some of her individual photos and some are her photos with raghav. The room was full of their love memories. All the memories came crushing to her. She walked towards the largest photo which is hung at the middle of the wall. It was her picture with raghav. They took it when he proposed her at the beachside with the moon witnessing their love. She traced the photo using her right hand. She was wearing the light blue heart-shaped diamond ring which raghav gave her when he proposed (the same ring raghav was looking at that day..). A sad smile accompanied her tears thinking of the day. The most happiest day of her life. She turned 360 degree around the room and every degree of the room shows their memories. Then, her eyes fall on the table. She walked near the table while raghav silently observed her. He himself was going through an emotional turmoil inside like kalpi. As she reach the table, she saw a glass box. She opened the box revealing the same ring and a diamond-platinum chain with a pendent with their initials K and R which was once gifted by raghav. Near to the box, at the corner of the table, she saw a single white rose (kalpi's favourite) in a vase. She was overwhelmed and sat on the bed sobbing. Raghav went near her and kneeled down holding her hands. Kalpi looked up at his eyes.

R: " kalpi, i love u. From past 4 years i was dying with the distance between us. I started searching u. But couldn't find u. Then u came not as my kalpi but as miss k, the great Mr Abhimanyu Mehra's daughter."

Kalpi didn't utter a single word. She just wanna listen to him. That's want he wanted. She wants answers for all her questions and pains today. So, she let him continue.

R: " i know. U r wondering. If i love u this much, why did i betray u? The truth is i didnt betray u. Whatever happened that day was because i want u to hate me. It was a drama. Pls believe me. I was left with no other coice," he cried holding her hand near his chest where his heart lies.

K: " drama? U did it to make me hate u? But..."

R: " yes, whatever u saw was well planned. I want u to hate me. And it is because of revenge."

K: " revenge?" kalpi muttered softly in confusion.

R: " yes. Revenge. Revenge against the kapoors."

Kalpi frowned as she doesn't understand anything about the revenge. And raghav continued,

R: " u remember? After the university farewell day, i said i will go to india to tell my mom about us and to get her agree for our relationship?"

Kalpi just nodded her head in agreement.

R: " thats when i got to know about the kapoors killing my dad," his voice cracked.

Kalpi was shocked. She covered her mouth with her hand.

R: " they killed my dad brutally and changed the case into an heart attack. My mom never told me about this as she don't want me destroy my life in revenge. But, when i got to know about, all i wanted is to revenge them. To revenge those kapoors who are responsible for the pain my mom and i went through without my dad.", he said coldly and kalpi could see the fire of revenge in his bloodshot eyes.

K: " what it has to do with us? Why did u break my heart?", kalpi accused him while standing up. Raghav too stand up facing her.

R: "i dont want anything to come in between my revenge against kapoors. At that time i thought our love will be an hurdle for that. I don't want u to suffer because of my revenge as kapoors can go any far to save themselves. And i know the way i used was wrong. But i had no choice. Thats the only way i could use to make u hate me. I always wanted u to be happy even if it needs me to distance myself from you. And i always love you," he said holding her one hand.

"CHATAK", the sound echoed in the room. Kalpi slapped raghav.

K: " u did that to make me hate u? It was a drama? U know how much i was hurt? I loved u! I loved u truly! But the pain u gave me is hurting me each and every second of my life. It was more painful than death. Instead of hurting me in that way, u should have killed me! Killed me!", she cried holding the front of raghav's shirt.

Raghav stood quietly crying as he know what he did was wrong.

R: " baby... But i realised i cant live without u.. Every second and every breath of me reminds me of u. I tried hard to forget u in this four years.. But I couldn't. U r my life. I love u! I love u...i want u in my life as long as i live... Even when im at the death bed... Pls forgive me... Give me a chance... Pls," he cried.

Kalpi was crying uncontrollably and said,

K: " just go RAGHAV (yey.. She said his name!!!). Just go! Go!" she cried.

Raghav understand that she want to be alone. So, he moved towards the door but stopped just before stepping out of the room.

R: " i know its not easy for u to forgive me. But i will wait for u as long as it takes... Even until my last breath," saying so he left the room.

He came downstairs and saw gouri, sammy, aj, maya and pri sitting on the sofas waiting for them since past 2 hours. Without bothering their questioning looks, he took his car keys and left the house.

After he went out, five of them went to look for kalpi. Maya hesitatingly opened raghav's room door. All of them entered the room. Shock was understatement to describe their expressions. They were more than shocked to see raghav's room which is full of kalpi's pictures. Sammy, maya and gauri realised the real reason why raghav never allowed anyone to enter his room. Then, they saw kalpi was sitting on the bed and crying continuously burying her face in the palms of her hands.

All of them went near her and priya sat holding her by shoulder.

Pri: " kalpi.. Sweetie r u alright?", she asked in concern while others looked at her in concern.

Kalpi composed herself and stand up saying,

K: " i wanna go home," saying so she walked out while wiping her tears.

Aj and priya followed her. Sammy, maya and gauri decided to confront raghav once he comes back home.
