Mehndi ceremony was over and everyone made their way to their rooms, however turmoil of tsunami in Raghav's heart didn't let him sleep peacefully. Flashes of Parth holding Kalpana's face and wiping of tears, and his lips on her lips, were something that kept on flashing to his eyes, still praying every second. Praying that Prem's words would be false, BUT Parth's action had deeply affected his ability to think. "How can he do that?" "She is my fiance, we are engaged!" were few unworded thoughts running in his depressed mind, "No I am NOT,!" were her words, but deep down he knew, he was aware, she isn't, yet he just wanted things to be as they were almost an year back. He knew it was ugly way to part away back then, but wished he could set things right like as it was. He wanted to see her smiling, and that SMILE should be because of him, flashes of Sammy's confession to Seema in front of family previous night came to him, and wished, he could as well hold her hand and open himself upto her, "What's Happening to me?" asked Raghav little loudly, and to no one. "Why am I feeling, this urge all of sudden, to just convince her?" wondered Raghav, "Why couldn't I accept, that..." he paused, closing his eyes, "Because Mr. Kapoor is Rival," said his brains, but his heart whispered, "Because you love her and you have come to realize it," Raghav opened his eyes, "No!" said Raghav, "I cannot see Kalpana being trapped by any rivals, who might just use her.. for their benefits... and..." before his thoughts continued, came another self of him asking, "And it's ok to be betrayed by someone whom she trusted?" asked another self, "She claims to be happier with Parth than you, she trusts him, and he never broke it, BUT you did!" questioned his innerself. "You have hurt her, and that wound hadn't really healed before she walked back into your life! YOU have not done anything to heal it Raghav!" clarified same inner self, "You need to win her TRUST back, by healing all those unseen wounds you have given her..." continued to speaking to Raghav, on the other side, Kalpana sat hugging her knee on the bed, with tears rolling down her eyes, praying to give her courage, to forget past and find happiness for those who do love her dearly, prayed to be able to move on from her past and not run away. Parth laid down on his bed unable to sleep, worried for Kalpana, and determining to set things right for her, and bring her love back into her life but this time, with love in his heart too... Raghav's actions were clear enough to tell Parth deep down he cared for Kalpana and has fallen for her, but yet on surface acts really stupid, Parth decided to give his best try to bring about change in his ways..
New morning had brought new hope in their lives for Seema and Sammy awaited to tie knot and step into married life, for Raghav to try to heal the wounded heart, for Kalpana to move on from her past and find happiness, and for Parth to make Raghav realize and unite Raghav and Kalpana.
Kamla found Gauri working on some decorations, she decided to again speak to Gauri. Kamla went to Gauri, "Gauri Ji," she said politely making Kamla look at her, meanwhile Raghav stopped hearing Kalpana's name in conversation.(Imagine she spoke in Hindi, but I am writing in English Lol)
Gauri: (Smiled) "Haan Bolo Kamla behen" (Yes, what happened sister) and again turned her attention to work at hand
Kamla: "Woh kal maine..." she paused, "kal maine..umm.. Parth aur Kalpana ko Kalpi ke room se nikalte ek saath dekha tha..."
Gauri stopped doing what she was doing and looked at Kamla, Raghav was baffled hearing it, Gauri just smiled at Kamla, "I am sure, she has been close to Parth and he has been with her when even her own mother didn't do justice to her." Kamla just nodded, "But I hope there is nothing serious between two and plus the way she openly said, that she will share room with Parth.. I didn't really like.." she stated, making Gauri little angry, "Even if it is, how does it matter, my daughter has right to decide whom she wants to be with, and this time I WON'T stop her..!! Anyone BUT Raghav, will be accepted by me for my daughter!" cleared Gauri and left Kamla shocked and Raghav irritated, Kamla just joined her hands and looked up praying, "Please Deva, I hope things and difference between Raghav and Kalpana sort out and I get Kalpi as my daughter in law."
Raghav was about to go to Kalpana's room but stopped hearing Sammy who gave him some work, which Raghav couldn't deny. Haldi ceremony had just ended, and all of them dispersed for upcoming wedding in afternoon. It was about the time, when beauty parlour lady had appeared for Seema, and got her ready, along with helpind hand from Kalpana. Soon, she helped Kalpana get ready for seema's wedding, Kalpana had decided to look simple for wedding ceremony, but no matter how hard she tried, and with minimal of make up and jewelery her beauty would still shine out at it's best.

Things were going on in full swing and even Raghav was getting ready for his brother's wedding. Once ready, Kalpana decided to go and meet Parth and hand him his sherwani which had purchased for him.
In Parth and Sammy's room, Sammy was taken down for morning ceremony, while Kalpana was in his room and was shocked to see him sleeping. Kalpana woke him up by hitting pillow, as he tried stopping her and both lauged for a while.. Kalpana hands that sherwani, but as Parth opened the sherwani, one of the buttom of his cloth had broken, and Kalapana was left open mouth. She told Parth to and have bath, while she will fix it. Kalpana settled down with broken button and thread-needle to fix it. After fixing it, Kalpana slightly took the botton and cut the thread with teeth, however while doing so, her lipstick mark imprints the sherwani, which wasn't realized by Kalpana. Once done with Sherwani She placed it on bed, and made her way to door, however as she reached the door, her saree's pallu gets stuck in small hook on side, soon she opens the door but couldn't get out due to stuck saree, and she bends to remove it carefully, however force was strong enough to saree bit torn from where pin was placed opening pin and leaving it lose. Raghav sees her coming out from Parth's room, her pallu slips down and her cleavage is visible with her saree in haphazard state, his eyes are stuck on her in shock, (not known to her...) , she is embarrassed and quickly pulls up her pallu on shoulder and decides to head to Seema's room for help.
Raghav just prays that Parth isn't in the room, and it was just something accidental. Raghav made his way in room of Sammy and Parth, to find Parth in it! He stood there and noticed the lipstick mark on his sherwani. He recalled colour of it, and it was sure to be Kalpana. Parth looked at him in shock, as he stomped in, while he was just changing, "Mr. Singhaniya, I know this is your house, but atleast have courtesy to knock the door when guests reserve one room," he asked angrily. Anger in Raghav was surging, on the knowledge of assumption on what could have had happened around in the room. "And don't you have courtesy to lock the door!" he said, recalling how Kalpana had left the room, and wanting to know the truth, "Well, I did, maybe Kalpana didn't , when she left the room!" Parth admitted, "And what was she doing here?" came the pat question, Parth was about to say the truth, "She was ..." but paused... and changed his words with smirk, "That's none of your buisiness," replied Parth. Raghav's hand turned into fist, he went towards him, and held Parth by collar, "Just shut up! He held the part where lipstick mark was visible, and Parth was shocked, as Raghav looked at mark angrily, he left it, and again looked at her, "STAY AWAY FROM HER!" he ordered, "And don't you dare touch her!" he shouted angrily at Parth. Parth not in mood to clear any misunderstanding, or say intentionally keeping his lip tight to let him think as he wishes, "Well, it's 21st century dude!" he said, pushing him away, "I can tell you same thing, stay away from Kalpana!" taunted Parth with smirk, "She is nothing to you, and we have been staying together in London for almost an year, so who are you to tell me anything?" His words shocked Raghav, making Parth grin wider, "Yes! Mr. Singhaniya you heard it right... Parth took his cell phone from table and decided to "Prove" it, by showing him some clicks of his and Kalpana, to make things clear for him..." those pics just added fume to already angry Raghav... Parth told him, "Now, please if you can let me get ready.." requested Parth, as Raghav stood rooted, "What is going on between you guys..?" were words that automatically left Raghav's mouth. Parth smirked, "I need to get ready!" he said, "Please leave..." Seeing Raghav not moving, Parth decided to change in some other room, he picked up his things leaving Raghav behind.
Fear and Turmoil in his heart wouldn't let him remain calm. He wanted his answers, he wanted confirmation that Kalpana was still with him and had some feelings for him deep down. He silently prayed that Parth's actions previous night were just ... though harsh, very harsh, but were just to teach him lesson, and they simply had no other relationship between two. His heart just sank with that thought... Raghav made his way to Kalpana's room where she was settled on bed, to find suitable bindi to match her yellow saree, after fixing it. Kalpana looked up to find Raghav and was shocked to see him there. Raghav took his steps towards her, as she shot up from bed, constantly murmurring loudly, "What are you doing here?" "Please leave!" "Go... Stop coming near me!" but nothing affected him, as he still kept coming closer to her, she began taking her steps back, "Look stay away," she kept warning him, but this time nothing would stop Raghav, as Kalpana's heart began running faster as she reached end of her room and her back hit the wall, yet he didn't stop. Kalpana gulped down, as he stood in front of her, and her breath was stuck. he held her by her uppar arms from both his hand scaring her, "What am I to you?" he asked, Kalpana couldn't reply but being scared she closed her eyes, and as he moved his right hand towards her cheeck, and forced her to look at him. She was scared at the moment to look at intense and demanding eyes, which he had. Raghav inched closer to her, "What is going on between you and Parth?" he questioned her, and she tried moving away shocked hearing the question. She just wanted to ignore him, but he held her tighter, "Was Prem right when he said, you and Parth are in relationship?" Kalpana closed her eyes tighter hearing him, "Did you and Parth share room in Lon..." he stopped, as Kalpana now tried harder to free herself, Her actions said, it's not true, disgust on her face kept assuring him, but he just wanted to hear it from Kalpana...
Understanding, Raghav's grip on Kalpana's wrist is loosening, she pushed him and screamed "YES! Whatever you think and or heard is all correct! and You are no one in my life!" and continued shouting"PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE!" Raghav didn't expect the reaction like that one, "AND YOU STOP LYING," he demanded with same tone. He once again caught hold of her, as she struggled to free herself, and he slowly shifted his left hand to her hair, holding it and slightly pulling her head down so she can face up, as she continued to push him, but failing. He brought his face closer to her & brought his lips to her clavicle like a hungry lion,shocked kalpi try to push him away but in vain,he shifted his face near her lips & brush it with his thumb, recalling how parth had kissed her previous night, surge of anger ran through him again."How dare he???," Raghav mumbled, and then looked at Kalpana, "And you didn't stop him, WHY?" he looked at her straight through. Also feeling lost and guilty, for this might have almost same sight Kalpana might have faced last year when she entered the room, but knowing that he simply shared nothing with that woman, and weighing it against possible relationship Parth and Kalpana shared, Raghav couldn't let her go off as he held her back more possessively "Only I have right to be with you! It's only me, who can be touch you and hold you like this, because you are my fiance!" Before she can react to his words he held her from arm & pulled her closer to him so much that they can feel their breaths, "Please leave me Raghav!" she requested, closing her eyes to stop those tears threatening to come out,
Raghav: "I will," he replied looking at her, "Just say my name once!" he added the condition. Kalpana opened her eyes and looked at him,
Name from your mouth,leave me alone pls mr raghav or else,or else what kalpi,he asked,Parth will come,before she can finished the sentence,He brought his face closer to her and placed his lips on hers, trying to forget all that he had seen last night, and replacing everything with himself she didn't respond...He pushed her head more into him and finally she ended struggle to free herself, and just kept her hand on his chest, as he kissed her even more, and more deeply & his one hand runs on his back. Unknown to her, she too began responding to him and equally participate in kissing him back. Tears rolled down her eyes, as slowly they broke the kiss and he hugged her tight,placing caressing her head slowly and calmly feeling content, she still gets affected by him, and he will help her heal all wounds and undo his mistakes.
NOTE: I need some suggestions,
Should Raghav realize his love.. or say fall for her... or should it be slower with addition of more Parth and Kalpana's scenes and his jealousy... See, let's have it, I have two ways in my mind, along with a friend of mine, but two of us little lost, so thought to ask ya all if you guys need more jealousy scenes, and slow realization, or that it's about time, and he should be in love by next two chapters?
Thanks...
Khushi
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ❤️ WELCOME 2016
