Gauri sits on bed, hanging down the phone as she recalls Kamla's words. "They were in same room," "I hope there is nothing between two.." Gauri gets up, "I will never let Raghav even go near Kalpana henceforth, if Kalpana adores Parth and wants to be with him, I will stand by her this time," thought Gauri.
Meanwhile, a car is driving Raghav, as he sits on passenger seat next to driver's with huge smile on his face. Varun taps him, "Raghav, your home is here!" Varun looks at huge mansion and keeps staring at it, for couple of minutes with eyes so wide. Raghav sees out and realizes he is home, and smiles he turns to thank Varun for ride, and looks at him looking towards mansion and he again glances back to building, to see nothing changed, "What happened?" he asked and Varun comes back to conversation, "Umm.. Nothing Raghav, you didn't invite me for Sammy's wedding," he said pouting, and continued, "You won't even bring me in for his reception or will you?" he asked teasing Raghav, "and introduce me to..." Raghav blushed at his words, before getting down, "Tomorrow sharp 7, reception starts at garden hall, right behind the house," he informed with smile. Varun looked confused, "And what if I am around to help ya guys? I will be free after 12 in morning! Yo, I am just here for 4 more days dude, let's spend some buddy time together!" he requested. Raghav smiled, with little confusion, but agreed and called him to the mansion whenever he wants.
Next morning,
Raghav once again wakes up with smile on his face, recalling only about Kalpana and happiness he feels even at her thoughts. He decides to not waste time in confessing his new found feelings, and just make her his forever... Raghav came out from his room, and headed straight to Kalpana's room without wasting a second, while whole family might have been busy and some hall for reception preparation, he didn't really find any distraction to head to her room. He opened the door and saw her drying her hair looking into mirror, he stands rooted at his place to see the beautiful sight, and her back facing towards him from side, he can see drops of water rolling down her back and getting lost behind her clothing. Kalpana didn't realize his presence till he came inside closing the door, and locking it. Kalpana turned around to see him and was shocked. She angrily, went to him and tried opening the door to push him away, but failed, as Raghav held her hand and turned her to pin her to wall.
Raghav: "I need to tell you something!" he demanded
Kalpana: (rolling her eyes), "Now what?" she asked
Raghav: "Kalpana! I..." he paused,
as Kalpana pushed him slightly, as she screamed, "Just Leave me!!!" Raghav was shocked, "Just leave me alone!!!" she said crying... "I cannot take this anymore... You always do what you want," she said crying, she looked at him with teary eye, "I had always loved you..! But you..." she was set to broke down as tears crossed border of her eyes and rolling down the cheek, "You always played around with my feelings!" she said now bitterly crying, "You never loved me...!!!" she cried her heart out. Guilt took over Raghav as he closed the distance between himself and Kalpana and pull her in tight hug, "No Kalpi... I am sorry, I ... I have realized my mistakes..!" he admitted before Kalpana, and hugging her tighter to console her, "and I ... I have fallen in love with you... I love you Kalpana..." he confessed. Kalpana was stunned there, she pushed herself away to look into eyes, and try to figure out if his is true ... But his eyes are still same, last time she was betrayed, ... but before she can process or analyze it further, he added, "I am sorry... Kalpana... I realized, I ..." he paused, taking in deep breath, "I have always been in love, but my fear, fear of being controlled, my ego, my pilled up thoughts, and feeling of not wanting any committment so I can enjoy my life without restriction had just been above it all, and ruling me... But ... You ..." he said, cupping her face, "You had always been special to me Kalpana..!!" he said. She was calm now, yet tears rolled down her eyes, she looked into his eyes, as he dragged his hand from her cheeks to shoulder to waist, Kalpana, unable to take it anymore immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, as he pulled her closer. Their faces inched closer and closer till their lips met. His hands moved from her waist to back of her head, pulling her more into him, he can feel her wet hair and soon, the freshness of Kalpana took him over as his brought his hand on her back again pulling out dori of her salwar, and caressing her upper back. It was after long he was enjoying the taste of sweet cherry lips, as they broke the kiss, on being in need of some air, Raghav pulled away duppatta she wore and slowly led her to bed and sat next to her, holding her by face, he placed a kiss on her forehead, then nose, slowly going again to lips, as Kalpana lost herself she pushed herself back slowly to rest herself on pillow, and let Raghav just take over, Raghav moved his lips from her lips to her chin and neck and clavicle. All the while Kalpana's grip on his shoulder had just tightened, as he kept on passionately touching her, kissing her... Raghav pulled up her salwar to expose her thin stomach, as he kept touched it, and then placing a kiss near belly button just to feel Kalpi.. and kept on moving above her, and bit her shoulder... making Kalpana scream, as she rolled trying to push him, and both were down on bed... 😆
Raghav sat up after falling on floor, and looked around to find himself in his own bedroom, and sighed at dream he just had with woman he LOVES! "YES HE LOVES!" and he has no qualms now admitting to himself, and confess it to her as soon as he can. Raghav came out of his room to rubbing his eyes, to hear some laughter and smiling knowingly as he recognizes it.. He follows the sound that led him outside the house, it was Kalpana, who was running around, behind ... Parth, Seema and Sammy with pipe of water, he stood by door not wanting it to change into sadness again, and kept looking at laughing form of Kalpana. He somewhere knew his presence would just wipe away her joy, and make her sad again, which he didn't want... He wanted to be reason of her smile.. her happiness ... He wanted to her to be that smiling even while she was with him, just like the way she is with Parth, and maybe confession at the point won't be good idea, he will wait.. and wait for her .. and be calm and patient...
Gauri on the other hand smiled from her bedroom seeing Seema, Sammy, Parth and Kalpana... "I will make sure, now Kalpi that smile remains intact on your face...!! You deserve it beta...!" she thought.
------------------------------------x---------------------------------------x----------------------------------x-------------------------------Kalpana and Parth were coming down the stairs of mansion, "So did you talk man of your dreams,..??" Parth teased Kalpana as he took up small ball and started tossing it up in air and catching it again. , who in turn gave him, 'Don't you dare kinnda look,' which Parth ignored, "C'mon Kalpana, if he affects you so much, then there is a reason for it..!!" he said Kalpi rolled her eyes, and took the ball away, making him look at her, "No ways...!! there is no reason for it... and I will prove it to you.. when I move on with right guy in my life..." Parth cracked up laughing taking his ball back, "You and move on, you gotta be kidding me.. You remember that guy, who stayed near by our apartment and he had liking for u which could soon turn in love... but you ignored him..!! Gosh Kalpi.. you can never move on..." Kalpana looked at his laughing form, remembering that guy... "Plus, he had also helped us so much while setting up with Pakhi and Ramu's new house and all.." added Parth, he looked at her and spoke, "I had always found him to be ideal and genuine person Kalpi, with the way he had helped us... and you knew he was being attracted to you as well... If you couldn't reciprocate the same... then I don't you will ever have your heart for anyone, but... " Parth paused, and Kalpana looked at him, "Mr. Singhaniya..." he completed with grin... and moved ahead of Kalpana leaving her to think for couple of minutes. Kalpana soon walked upto him, "You are wrong! It was just 5 months to my breaking of engagement, and you felt, I can trust any guy easily?" she asked... Parth laughed, "Pakhi moved on from Ankit, that college idiot to Ramu within like 5 days... and you are talking about 5 months..." he laughed, Kalpana looked on at him, "Well Pakhi's and Ankit was just infatuation, but I had truely loved..."
Parth: "True love would never fade..!!" Parth cuts her... "If you truely loved Raghav, you are just angry, very angry.. and super angry at him, but you cannot hate him!" he stated as matter of fact. Kalpana still denying anything, "If I find that Varun again or Varun like guy... this time I am moving on for sure..!!" she snapped at him, and stomping on his leg she raced towards door, only to bump into someone who also apparently not watching his way... Kalpana said "Sorry" and was shocked to see him, and he took looked at her, "It's O..." he paused, and the two stood there facing each other... Kalpana looked down confused and slightly worried... and Parth stood there, smiling, as Kalpana looked into his direction, and remembering her own words to Parth, she looked back at him, with apparently fake smile, "Varun!!" she shouted happily... and Hugged him... Breaking hug within seconds, she inserted her hands in his arm, "So how are you buddy?" she asked, "It's been long time..!!" Varun removed her arm, and faced her, "Where had you been? I was so worried!!" he stated, "You guys shifted within like 2 months, and then just disappeared! even pakhi didn't know anything.. How can u?" he asked worried, Kalpana remembered how she had told pakhi to not let him know anything, as she was not too comfortable in his presence, she found decent friend in him, who was sweet, but... his attraction was scaring her.. either way, now time had changed, and she had challenged parth, she will move on and Varun is indeed nice guy... "I am sorry, it was just tha..." before she can complete..Varun pulled her in embrace, 'Leave it... I missed you soo much..." Kalpana was stunned and not comfortable.. she pulled herself away and smiled, "we are fine, and you won't believe Parth and I were just talking about u!" she said.. Varun smiled, "wow! interesting and it was then his attention turned to Parth..!!" he went in and hugged him, and with general chit chats which included about how Varun knew about Raghav, and how Raghav is his friend from London College and other current status of Parth, Kalpi and Varun himself and only thing Varun knew was Kalpana was Seema's sister ... Parth excused himself and called Kalpana along, "We need to urgently head towards hall.. for some preparation..! see you in evening..." he said..
As soon as they left Varun decided to meet up Raghav, who was in his room, "Hey Raghav...!!" he called up, so dude, "Are you set?" he asked. Raghav smiled, "Hii Varun, dude you are here already?" Varun pouted, "Should I leave?" he asked.. Raghav nodded in no, 'Drama man..!! You will never change... Anyways now that you are here, help me with selection of best clothing for reception tonight!" Varun smiled naughtily, "Ofcoruse, afterall you need to impress someone.. and introduce me to someone..!!" Raghav smiled and blushed..!!!!
Reception:
It was glimmering evening, and guests had arrived and newly wedded couple were steadily in limelight on stage. It was just then Varun and Raghav made their way into the hall...and Varun and Raghav both stood frozen on the tracks moment they saw Kalpana, in her dark blue choli and off white lehenga!
Kalpana was there meeting guests and talking to all, Varun and Raghav's eyes kept following her, smile on Raghav's face never disappeared on seeing her..!! Varun excused himself, and went to Kalpana, "Hey Kalpi!" he called out gaining her attention, her smile had faded slightly, and her eyes for few seconds, were stuck on Raghav who was just behind Varun , smiling at her.
Raghav's wear
Kalpana had slight blush on her face to see him looking at her, but she ignored it... as her focus went back to Varun. She smiled and hugged him, making sure Raghav is looking, "How are you Varun?" she asked, but Varun's reply left her with stunned,"You are looking Soo pretty, Omg, I guess am falling in love with you all over again!" he admitted. Kalpana was speechless, "Love?" she asked, "Umm.. I mean.. ofcourse.. woh I meant.. those good old days, when you pakhi and Ramu just used to meet up.. and all!!" Kalpana smiled and recalled, her words to Parth about moving on... She was bit nervous, and tried her best to be friendly with Varun, but something was missing around her, and she kept on feeling uncomfortable, with his proximity. Kalpana recalled how he had confessed his feelings once but seeing her changed expression and her words, "I am sorry Varun, I didn't see you more than friend... Infact I was just engaged like few months back, and things have changed, I am still to get over the past and those emotions completely... I really loved him, though I know I need to move on but I am not ready yet... and I need time to forget him..." she kept on blabbering in order to deny but seeing seriousness in her tone, he had laughed off his words on confession as just a prank. It was exactly when Kalpana requested Parth, that they should just shift their place of stay to somewhere near city on outskirts, even if they had to share apartment. Trust on their friendship and understanding between two, were enough of reason to take step, and keep Varun away. She was just not ready back then! But now? Now, that she has decided to move on and Varun seems to be best of the person, who is decent and maybe.. a perfect one too, yet something still kept haunting her, stopping her. She couldn't pin the reason, and she didn't want to think in direction where real reason lied.
On the other hand, Varun had set there in audience, once Kalpana excused herself, and Parth came and sat next to him. "So, how are you enjoying the evening?" he asked Varun. Varun just smiled, "Well this is so grand and beautiful! and I guess I should have imagined, they are Singhaniya's such lavish and expensive furnishing is kind of expected," he commented. Parth then asked him further, "Seems you are getting bored, maybe you should have got your girlfriend along," Varun looked at Kalpana with slight blush rising, but quickly he looked at Parth, to let him know, " I don't have anyone yet in my life..." and Parth rolled his eyes, as if he had expected some of it... Parth tried his best divert his attention away from Kalpana and both got into general chatting, while Raghav who was still busy chit chatting with family members across, kept on stealing glances at Kalpana, just like Varun. Soon, Parth got hold of Raghav, "Dude! Listen... Your friend there is getting bored!," he said pointing to Parth, "And I did try to give him company for a while, but I guess, he is more of your guest.!" Raghav looked at Parth rolling his eyes, "Thanks Mr. Kapoor for information, but you know something you need not tell me anything, or guide me how am I suppose to be treating my guests around. And started going towards him, "Umm... I hope you know that Kalpana and I !" hearing their names together, annoyed Raghav, but this time, he had decided to remain cool, all the while he was busy getting annoyed and his thought process, he missed out on important piece of information which parth gave out, regarding Varun and kalpana! "I guess, you need to be very firm... cuz, Varun and Kalpana and I know each other, and ..." but his words were cut, "And what?" Raghav asked, Parth looked on, "And, that's good for me, that Kalpana and I have some common "Friends!" he said. Parth wanted to speak more, but Raghav didn't let him complete his sentence, and Parth was left behind wishing, that Raghav would soon realize his mistakes and own feelings.
Raghav caught up with Varun, shaking hands with him and apologizing for making him feel ignored. Varun gave him understanding smile, and assured him he wasn't bored, and "I can thank Kalpana..." he looked towards her, "and Parth for not letting me get bored." Raghav smiled slightly, but he looked at him, "well, Kalpana is one such gem!" Raghav said, turning to see her, Varun nodded in agreement, "Yes, and I..." before he can complete his statement, Raghav cuts in, "And she is the girl whom I am in love with, and I spoke to you yesterday!" informed Raghav. His smile faded, as if huge Earthquake had taken place, "I was once engaged to her as well, but certain idiotic actions, thoughts, feelings, ruined everything... Which I aim to set right..." Varun smiled at Raghav, quickly when he saw, "Yes!" he stumbled upon few words, as he added, "She is awesome... but will she agree to reunite to you?" he asked nervously. Raghav smiled at him, "Ofcourse! I know she will... once I accept my mistakes, mend it, and confess my feelings for her... and I will soon.. I just to give her sometime... maybe till this whole wedding galore gets over before I confess and help her heal her wounded heart and bring back those beautiful feelings she has always carried for me!" Raghav assured to Varun confidentially. Varun continued faking the smile... and congratulated him. Varun somewhere knew every word that Raghav has said, is deep and true... and that Kalpana would never really fall for him, and would always love Raghav.
