Chapter 12
Raghav had a certain urge to meet the girl who Mrs. Rao went to bring in. After few minutes Mrs. Rao came back alone and said, "She is taking rest in her room as she said she is not feeling well." "Oh ok, let her take rest as she always keep herself busy doing household work without us even asking her to do it," Mr. Rao said, "Very nice girl," "She came very close to our heart in few days." Raghav felt little pain in his heart as he couldn't meet the girl. "Who is this girl uncle?" Raghav asked. "Anita brought her here as she doesn't have any relatives in Mumbai," Mr. Rao said, "This girl had to suffer a lot in the village," "Poor girl."
Kalpana was in her room thinking deeply about Raghav and their son. What is this innocent child's fault that he won't be able to get his father's love? And Raghav ji, why did he have to stay away from his own child? I saw pain in his eyes for a child. He kept asking Ria for a child.
Nowadays Kalpana was not feeling well. Sometimes her eyes were blurry, sometimes she suffered from headaches. One day Kalpana decided to go to the shopping mall to buy some clothes for her son but she had to come back halfway there as she felt her pain intolerable. She decided to talk to Anita about her sudden symptoms after she will be back.
One day Raghav called Anita when she came to Mumbai. Kalpana overheard the conversation between Anita and Raghav as Raghav was planning to adopt a child. He was hoping Anita would advise him better regarding the adoption. Kalpana thought of something and then asked Anita, "Anita di, Why he wants to adopt as he can have his own child?" "God doesn't fulfil everyone's wish and Raghav is one of them." Anita said and told Kalpana about Ria including their divorce. They are not living together? Kalpana thought and she felt bad for Raghav thinking of how he was living without Ria as he loves her a lot. Kalpana gathered up her courage and asked, "Could you do me a favor?" "Yah, sure, tell me," Anita said. "Could you talk to him and ask if he is interested in adopting my son." "I promise, main... k...kabhi d...dawa nahi k...korungi ki he is my son," "My son will be all HIS," Kalpana said with her broken heart. She held her tears. Hearing her Anita said, "Kalpana, I can understand as it will be very hard for you to raise your baby as a single mother." "Ok, I will talk to Raghav." Saying so Anita left from there. Wiping her tears, Kalpana said, "Yes, I made the right decision to unite father and son as Raghav ji will be able to fulfill his wish and my son will get his father's love," "I will be happy to see them happy from far away."
On the other hand Raghav was very happy hearing Anita that he could adopt the child he played with at Rao Uncle's house. Raghav made the entire adoption papers ready as soon as possible.
Finally, that day came when Kalpana had to say "good bye" to her own son forever. Kalpana cried her heart out, hugging her son for a long time and then gave him to Anita to hand over to Raghav. Seeing Kalpana's state, Anita said, "Kalpana, don't worry," "Raghav will fulfill all your child's wishes as he is really a good human being."
Raghav brought the child at Singhania Mansion. He decorated the child's room very well. He filled the room with lots of toys. He hired two well-trained nannies to take care of the child in Raghav's absence. Raghav named the child as, "Aarav Singhania."
On the other hand Kalpana couldn't sleep all night as she was missing her son a lot. Kalpana knew he will be fine with Raghav. But she couldn't remove her son from her mind. Day by day her health was getting weaker. Kalpana forgot to talk to Anita about her health last time as both Kalpana and Anita were busy with her son's adoption. So she decided to go to the hospital. Kalpana did all her tests and was waiting for the report. In the meantime, all on a sudden Rao family had to move to USA as their son Ravi arranged everything for them so that they couldn't say no. Kalpana also moved to a woman hostel. Last week she had been looking for a job but couldn't find any. She was lying on the bed thinking, how she will be able to survive as she already spent so much money for her tests. She thanked God that Shanti kaki sent her money which were kept to shanti kaki through Anita.
Next morning Kalpana went to search for a job as it became a daily routine. After walking a while she was feeling very weak as she couldn't walk and fell on the road.
On the same day Raghav went to visit one of his friend's father in a hospital. Raghav was talking to Dr. Seth about his friend's father's physical condition. In the meantime a nurse rushed to the cabin and told Dr. Seth to go with the nurse as there is a serious patient was brought by some people as the patient was lying on the road unconscious. Hearing the nurse, Dr. Seth excused himself and rushed to the exit. "Hope the patient is fine," Raghav said in his mind.
Raghav was walking on the corridor to the gate while the patient the nurse was talking about earlier was taken to the opposite direction. All on a sudden Raghav felt something as his hand accidentally touched the patient's hand. He looked back to see the patient but unable to see as the patient was covered by the ward boy who was carrying the patient. Then Raghav just ignored it and stared walking again. After a while he thought something and returned to meet Dr. Seth again. Raghav was asking a nurse about Dr. Seth that he needed to talk to Dr. Seth immediately. Then the nurse gave him the direction where Dr. Seth was. Raghav followed the direction the nurse gave and finally he saw Dr. Seth checking a patient. "Dr. Seth, sorry to bother you at this moment but I just wanted to know that when my friend's father will get discharged as his son is out of the country now so that I have to make all the arrangements. Hearing Raghav, Dr. Seth looked back at Raghav and said, "In two days we will discharge him." "Thank you Dr. Seth," saying so Raghav was about to leave but stopped and looked back behind him and his eyes were stuck on the patient lying on the bed. "Kalpana," The only word came out from his mouth.
Right now I am working on Chapter 13. I will give update soon.
