Chapter 35
Neetu was in the house searching for paki, kamla came to her and ask what she was doing. Neetu frown " where is pooki?"
" she's at the hospital" she says confusing neetu
" why exactly is she there, theirs nothing wrong with her"
Kamla chuckle " you never heard of keep your friends close and your enemy closer"
Neetu gave her a puzzle look. She look lost, she told kamla this is not the time for puzzles and to just say what she wants to say. " neetu... You will know soon" she finished before going up to get her bag. Neetu curse under her breath. " that kamla always thinks she's a monk, saying things I don't understand" she stop talking when kamla came down " where you going?"
" I'm gonna get something at the market, maybe something cute for paki. Would you like to come?" She asks
" no thanks, you go and have your alone time. I will relax in the house " she says sitting on the couch. Once kamla leaves, she call someone " yeah, she's gone. Make sure you take care of it" she finished before hanging up.
Elsewhere, when paki arrive at the hospital she was tackled by the young girl, " you... What are you doing here??" She says
" I got lost, I don't know why... It just feel like I'm suppose to be somewhere" she says
Paki smile " of course your suppose to be in the garden. Its your free time so you can play with the other kids at the hospital" she finished.
The girl smile " of course, I forgot" she says before getting up and run away.
Paki sigh and pick up her flowers. She walk to kalpi door before putting on a fake smile " kalpi!!!!" She says to loud. Kalpi look at her and ask her what she was doing here. She puts the flower in the vase before going to her side and surprise her with a hug.
" hey... Stop it..!!!" She says pushing her away
" you don't know how long I've missed you" she says while wiping her tears.
Kalpi was confuse than ever " what??"
" I'm so sorry for the way I treated you. I should have known it was you this whole time" she says
" once again, what is going on?"
Paki chuckle " you are my older sister. When you took the sun glasses of at the conference, I was so shock. I thought you died" she says
" is this some kind of joke"
Paki shook her head " no I would never do something like that, when you got into that car accident, we all thought you died so did kamla- ma. I was so devastated and I became cold hearted" she says keeping up with her lies.
Kalpi thought, that's explains her attitude. She look at paki trying to see if she was lying, but she was soon stopped when she hugged her again and this time kalpi had a flash back. She saw herself and paki talking. Maybe she is telling the truth, she thought. Once she pulled away , kalpi asks if kamla ma was their mother and she nod. Paki told her she will be excited to see her.
They exchanged numbers before paki leave. Kalpi was kinda happy now because she now know that her parents are alive. Well one of them anyway. It wasn't long before she left the hospital. She got on her motorcycle and drove, while driving she spotted a beautiful saree, she thought it would look good on dadi. She wouldn't dare buy it for herself, she would rather walk around naked then wear that.
OK maybe that was going to far, but she wouldn't wear it period. She got of her bike and walk to the stand, while looking she notice some guys harrassing a lady. She got angry when they hit whatever she had on her hand. Kalpi took a stone and hit the big guy getting him angry " you are dead" he says before telling his friends to attack.
She duck when one guy tried to hit her, she took her helmet and hit his face. The other guy Grab her hand and kalpi bite his arm making him let go. She saw a stick on the floor and kick it up, than she grabs it and hit his leg. While doing so the leader trade to sneak up on her, but kalpi duck and grab the chilly pepper near a table and throw it in his eye , making him stagger back hitting things before falling on a rock.
Everyone clap for her, cheering her name. " STOP!" The voice said snapping her out of her day dream. Kalpi look at the three and realize she can't fight them all. She search for a disguise before smiling. Ones she dressed up, she walk behind the skinny guy and said an insult to his friend. The guy turn around to see if anyone was behind , but only see a rock. He angrily hit his friend.
" what's that for" he scream
" you said my toe looks like a fungus" he says
" no I didn't" he says back" , the leader told them to shut up and focus. Which they did, it wasn't long before kalpi crawl to the other friend and pinch him on the back. The friend yelp " why you" he says slapping the friend. The skinny guy touch his face before punching the friend, this lead to them fighting until they were both knocked out.
The leader shook his head before focusing on kamla. " hey you fugly" kalpi says now standing. The man look at her before laughing " what is this... Its to late for Halloween girl" he says
Kalpi frown " leave her alone"
" why should I do that?"
" because I said so"
" look girl, leave from here" he says shooing her
Kalpi got into a fighting stance. Moving her hand in circle while hoping from side to side. " you don't want to mess with me, I took boxing classes" she says
The man laugh " oh yeah" he says
Kalpi ran to the man and swing her hands , before she could touch the guy. He puts his hand on her forehead so she wouldn't reach him. Kalpi was trying to hit the guy, but he wouldn't let her. Kamla watching this wonders if she should help her. Kalpi seeing her move shook her head, making her stop.
" are you done now ... Girl" the man asks
" no" she says before kicking him between the legs. The man fe down holding his leg. Kalpi than grab her helmet and hit him...knocking him out. " I told you to leave her alone" she finished.
Kalpi pick up her helmet before turning around to leave. " excuse me" she says making kalpi stop, why does that voice sound familiar, she thought.
