Kamla went to check on the mail, she came in and look over it. She was surprise to see a letter address to all three of them. Neetu eating grapes asks if anything came for her, kamla gave it to her. It wasn't long before paki came down and kamla hand hers to her. She looks at it confuse as to why it had no sender.
She opens it to see a big letter in bold " MURDERER" , shock she sat on the stairs shaking. Kamla looks at her, she asks whats wrong and she showed the letter to them. Neetu says what is this, why do you have the same thing as me. Kamla also shows her letter surprising them.
They sat down in the living room, the letter in the center of the table. They were trying to figure out who did this. Suddenly gaur I came, she walk to them and showed them the same letter. She asks if they are joking with her, and kamla says no , they wonder who could have done this. Neetu says " do you think someone found out about what we did?"
" no we were to clever hiding the tracks"
" then who could it be... The driver, the maids , or the government" neetu says whispering the last part
Gaur I roll her eyes " enough with your stupid thinking. Its obviously kalpi" she says
" kalpi? You forgetting she's not the same kalpi that died" kamla says remembering the time she spent with her.
" no.. No gaur I is right, what if she is pretending like she doesn't remember and is trying to scare us" paki says
Neetu rub her chin " then we have to find out, if she is doing this than we kill her before raghav finds out"
" don't talk like that yet, until I bring her to you guys" she says getting up. Kamla asks her where she was going and she smile saying raghav. They told her to go, they will handle this, suddenly they heard the door being close. They all grab their letter thinking its sahil. When no one came, gaur I walk to the window, looking for anything suspicious, all she saw were few cars passing by. Kamla asks if she saw anything, she says no just cars.
Paki got up and grab her things. She said good bye before walking away, she drove all the way to raghav restaurant before entering. Their people greets her and welcome her. She asks for raghav and they told her his talking to international people. She thank them and walk to his office, there she overheard raghav talking about making them the best traditional food. They said if someone will make it, he was about to tell them he will when paki interrupted them saying she can do it.
Bugle raghav told her not to interrupt them. She says it doesn't matter she can do it. One of the people said let her if she wants to do it, raghav sigh before giving in. Paki thank him before going. Raghav look at them and told them they will go down shortly. While he was in his office, he got a call from his secretary. " yes" he says
" theirs a kalpi here for you, sir"
Curious raghav told her to bring her in. She walks in nervously,while raghav looks at her waiting for her to speak. " raghav" she says " I accept your propersition"
"I don't understand you, one minute you are nice and then the next you are cold towards me. What's exactly do you want" he says
Kalpi looks at him in the eye " a chance" she says
Raghav told her he can't do it, making her sad . as soon as she was about to leave his office he calls her " fine, I will give you a chance" he says this time it was kalpi that was surprise. He told her he has some foreign people waiting on him, and that they want to try some traditional food. He told her if she can make something good for them then she got the job.
Kalpi told him, she will do it. Raghav calls someone and told him to direct kalpi to the kitchen. Once she was gone, he couldn't help smiling, fate is really strange, he thought before getting to work. Once kalpi reached the kitchen, she was surprise to see paki. Paki asks her what she was doing here and she told her she's being tested. Paki fake like she was happy, she was really angry that raghav told her to cook for the foreigner s.
Kalpi was holding back her resentment, she was glaring really hard at paki when her face was turned. She quickly fake smile , and told her good luck. They both didn't speak the whole time, kalpi was happy for that. She didnt know what she would do, if she had to hear her mouth. Kalpi on task was making some foreign traditional food each from different country while paki was just making plain Indian traditional food.
When kalpi went to use the bathroom, paki add some chilli spice on her food. And she even added more salt on her rice, she says let's see if you will get the job now. She quickly went back to her side when she heard footsteps. Kalpi walk to her food and start trying them, she half choked when she realize how salty and hot they were. Raghav came and told them they have one minute, he looks at kalpi who was just standing their, he asks if she was OK. She nod, he told her their about to start and to prepare the food.
Kalpi confuse wonder how the food turned out this way. When she saw paki smirking she knew right away it was her doing. Paki went to grab some plates and call some servers. Once they came they lift her food and walk away. By that time, kalpi decides to change up the food. She says it might be hot and salty, but I can still make it good. She look at the clock and quickly start fixing things, once done she grab a cart and walk to the dinning room.
Paki present her food in front of them, she told them its an old rich Indian food that will make your mouth watery. They look at one another before trying it. Paki smiles at raghav, she puts her hand around his and lean her head on his shoulder. That's how kalpi saw them, she was steaming with jealousy. When raghav saw her he quickly remove paki from him making her pout.
Suddenly the foreigners starts couphin and demanding water. Raghav quickly gave them water bottles. Paki was confuse, she didn't know why they were acting like this, she checked the food earlier and it was fine. They look at raghav and told him, the food was disgusting. They asks him who made it, and he looks at paki. Paki told them the food was perfectly fine earlier, she walk to the table and tried the food, she half choked. Raghav tried it as well and he glares at paki. " is this some type of joke paki"
." no raghav, I promise you it wasn't like this earlier" she says
Kalpi smirk thinking about it. See when paki walked away, she had took her own revenge and add chilli pepper on all her food. Now see how I get on raghav good side, she thought. She walk up to them and told them she thinks this would be more suitable for them. She opens the food and they were shock to see traditional food from their home. It not only look appetizing, the smell was wonderful too. Kalpi quickly distribute and let them enjoy. Paki glares at her, she now realize that kalpi mess up her food. She watch as they kept eating and praising kalpi.
Raghav tried the food too and was proud. The food was delicious, it had a rich taste to it and it makes you want more. Once they finish, they told raghav that her fiance did good . paki smile but she soon frown when they look at kalpi. They told him she was a keeper and also to not let her go. Raghav was about to tell them she wasn't his when they look at paki. " young lady, if you are the chef you need to learn to cook. You will make this restaurant loose its ten star. Learn something from her" they said before leaving.
Once gone paki smash something's on the floor. " are you OK paki?" She asks in a gentle tone, paki glares at her, but she quickly calm down When she looks at her confuse face. " I'm fine, just frustrated" she says before adding " are you coming to my house tomorrow"
" yes I can't wait to see our mother" she says happily
" I can't wait either" she says before walking away
Few hours pass, kalpi was waiting for a bus. She was surprise it started pouring so fast. She just hope she makes it on time. While waiting, a car stops right in front of her. Raghav puts his window down offering her a ride. She gladly took it, she thank him and instruct him where she lives. He told her he knows, the silence was killing them both so raghav decides to speak. He told her he was impress with her and so was his clients. She told him it was nothing. When he turn to her house he park and she got out.
She thank him once again and turn to Go when her house exploded. Shock, shock kalpi fell on the floor. Raghav quickly got out asking i f she was OK. She nods and look at her house burning. He asks if their were people in there, she says no. She told him, her family left for vacation so its just her.
It wasn't long before the ambulance came and asks her question, she answered them and they told her she has to find some where to live until further nottice. She says she has no where to go, the firefighters told her she better find a relative. Kalpi cried, raghav seeing this held her, he told her his house has many room, she can stay there. She refused at first, but he told her he won't take no for an answer.
He drag her to his car and drove home. When he reached kalpi got out and remisc everything that happens to her. They remove me from this house, but I always come back. See how I will destroy all the sinners here, she whispers. She quickly dialed a number and her cousin pick up. " I'm in" she says
" good, I guess moving to a new house was a good idea after all" she says
" yeah, is everyone OK?" She asks
" yeah, dadi is playing with Aadita while I'm preparing food." She says
" I will visit when I have the chance, take care of her for a while. I know she wanted to stay with her dad"
" I will kalpi, you just make them regret you were never recarnated." She says before hanging up
She looks at the house before raghav told her to come. She nod and follow him, don't worry amaya I will make them pay and confess to their crime, she thought.
