A Journey Of Love RagNa FF (Part 2 On Page 4) 01 November - Page 2

A girl was running hither and tither at her house. She was scanning her wardrobe, taking all her cosmetics and dumping them into her bag. A woman came into the room and smiled at the girl's bag. The woman asked,"Kalpi, what have you done to your poor trolly ?"

Kalpi : Maa. Please.. I am busy.

Maa : I can see that. But why are you molesting that trolly by dumping everything just like that ?

Kalpi : I don't have time na. I am leaving day after tomorrow and I need to set everything right..

Maa : How about this ?? I shall help you get set your things. We'll do it together. Ok ?

Kalpi : Oh Maa !! Really ?? Thankyou so much. You are the best..

She hugged her mother screaming with joy. Her mother hugged her back with an amused smile on her face. Together they set to work, arranging all her clothes. Her mother was shocked to see that she hadn't folded even a single clothing of hers. She looked at Kalpi who was busy arranging her certificates and other original papers. Her mother took out a green t-shirt that was made of satin and looked at Kalpi..

Maa : Kalpi, why are you taking this ?

Kalpi : Oh Maa. I am going to use this as nightwear.

Maa : You know your father doesen't like this shirt.

Kalpi : Maa. Paa isn't going to know about it. I told you, I am going to use this as a nightwear na.

Maa : Ok. Well, ur father is coming tonight. Apparantly he wants to check whether u've got everything.

Kalpi : Maa. I've got everything set. I am not a kid anymore. I've got a checklist and I've checked each and everything. I've even checked it twice with Safeena.

Maa : Great Beta. But as you know, its ur father. Let him be. Now let's continue with your packing.

Kalpi : Hmmm.. Ok Maa.

Kalpi was very excited. She was going to be away from her home for the first time that too for four months. She had been selected in her College Placement Cell for Singjhav Ltd. The training was to take place in Mysore and she was very excited. She would miss her parents.. YES.. But then it was exciting to be away from home and be alone with friends. Her friends were coming along too. Her best friend Safeena was coming along with her. Herself and Safeena had been best friends since their college days. They were similar in character and did everything together. That evening as she marked off the day in her calender, her phone rang. It was Safeena.

Kalpi : Hi Safeena.

Safeena : Hi Kalpi. Are you sure that this is all we will be taking to Mysore.

Kalpi : Haan Safeena. Why do take so much tension ?? This is it ??

Safeena : I don't know yaar. I feel like am forgetting something..

Kalpi : Ooo ooo.. I know I know..

Safeena : What is it ??

Kalpi : You are leaving your Atif and coming na ?? 😛

Safeena : Shut up Kalpi.

Kalpi : I was just joking. Acha ok yaar. I need to go. Dad and Bros have come. Catch you at Singjhaav..

Safeena : Bye Kalpi..

She put down her reciever and went to recieve her dad and brother. Her mother was aldready there fussing about how idiotic her son looked with all that facial beard while her dad laughed at her mother..

Maa : What is this Prakash ?? I send you all clean-shaven to Pune and you come home looking like this !!!

Prakash : Maa, this is the latest fashion.. And its PK Maa, not Prakash..

Maa : Prakash Jadhav, don't you PK me !!!

Prakash : Dad, handle her.

Dad : Neetu, leave him. Don't strangle him to death before he even enters the house.

Neetu : Don't support your son, Sahil. He has grown big but still behaves like a kid.

Dad : Don't blame it on me..

Another person came in and shouted,"Hey !! What about me ???"

Neetu : Kabir !! Atlast !! Someone that listens to his Maa..

Kabir : Hi Maa.. How are you ?? You've grown fat.

Neetu : No I have not. Now come in all three of you..

The four went inside the house. Kalpi was standing near the dinner table with a wide smile on her face.

Kabir : Don't open your mouth so wide. Bees and mosquitoes may find their way into it.

Prakash : Yeah. And then don't blame us that we played some prank on you..

Kalpi closed her mouth shut and glared daggers at them. Neetu scolded her sons. Kalpi went to hug her father who wouldn't leave her..

Sahil : 20 years ago, you were just a little baby and you would fit so easily in my arms. But now you are here all grown up, ready to step into the corporate world. I am gonna miss you a lot, Princess..

Kalpi : I am gonna miss you too Dad. But I will call you everyday. Thrice a day. Don't worry.. Adn I am always with you, in your heart, Dad.

Sahil smiled and hugged his daughter even tighter. He had always wanted a daughter. He had two sons whom he dearly loved. Yes.. But he wanted a daughter. A daughter who would be his Princess. And when Kalpi was born, he had been on Cloud Nine and tended to her every coo and murmer and cry.

Kabir : Umm... Sorry to break the moment, but what's for dinner ?? 😛

The family laughed at this as Kabir looked on with an idiotic expression on his face as to what was so funny about his said dialogue.. The next day, Kalpi was up and early. Her father had checked her trolly and bag. The checklist was once again checked. Kalpi checked off another date from the calender. One day more and then she would be off. Her grandmother was arriving tomorrow that made her even more excited. She couldn't wait to go to Mysore. Four entire months with friends and no parents. It was gonna be fun. With all the necessary documents set and all her clothes and other things packed, she was ready and she dreamed about Mysore. She thought about the new friends she'd make and the campus she would be in. She had googled about Singhjhav Campus and she fell in love with it. People called it Paradise In India. She was exicted to be there. She slept dreaming about the campus, Mysore and all the friends she would make and the subjects she would learn..

Permission maangne ki zarurat nahi hai.. Comment kar 😛

Hi dear.. I have rectified my mistake.. Its Neetu that's Kalpi's mother. I always figured that Neetu made a better mother than Kamla anyways. And Kalpi has two brothers- Prakash and Kabir.. Not Prem 😊

loved it dear
