Part 1:
One Year Later...
In London,
As Kalpana sat on couch with tears rolling down her eyes, pain given by those people whom she considered her own still a fresh and she was missing her family... Her mom, her sister, Ragh... Suddenly she felt someone's warm palms near her eyes, wiping away the water that had made it's way out. She looked up to face the person, she obviously had known, and who had been by her side in times of her need, like any best friend would ever be...Mr. Parth Kapoor.
Standing as usual, casually with one of his hand in pocket.
He sat beside her, and smiled back at her, making her smile in return.. She wiped off remainin tears and got up, "I will go and cook something for us!" and headed towards kitchen only to be held back by force of being gripped by wrist. "What are you running away from? Tears you shed aren't hidden from me..." he said, as he pulled her back to face him. Kalpana looked down unable to meet his eyes, knowing how quickly he would read it, nevertheless, he did... "You Know Kalpi, your sister Seema has been calling me almost since last 6 months, and every time I deny..." he pauses, and then continues, "Everytime, she is also made disappointed by same statement, I will pass on your message to Kalpi..." he informed her with sincerity. Kalpi looked at him.. slowly removing her hand from his grip and turned back as she replied in firm voice, "I do not want to keep any ties with my family... or anyone there..." Parth continued, "Even if she is set to marry in about a month?" he asked. His words shocked Kalpi, "Marry? Dii is getting married?" and she turned back quickly, voicing her doubts, "To whom and when?" Parth smiled, as he settled back on sofa, and picked up magazine in his hand, "I am hungry, and I want food!" he ordered... Kalpana stared at him for couple of seconds, and jumped onto sofa, next to him.. Snatching away magazine, making him grin wider... "Whom is di getting married too? and why didn't you tell me this earlier,??" she screamed on top of her voice, and Parth couldn't do much more than smile brightly, and get up and rush into his room, "I am tired, and I need bath to freshen myself up..." and he said quickly, and ran inside bathroom, before Kalpana can catch up with him. He was certainly happy now, to see her talking like a normal sister, who wants details about her sister, whom she has been ignoring... and cherry would be he loves to tease her, and keeping this as a secret... he had pulled upon right button..!! He thought as he started with shower...
While in hall, Kalpana looked up at him teasing and soon started looking here and there as if trying to find something... she picked up first cushion, and found nothing, next she tried looking below other cushsion, and finally she found her cordless phone on table next to sofa and picked it up... Without wasting a second, she dialled the number, she has been avoiding since a year...
In India
>>>TRING TRING<<<
>>TRING TRINGG<<<
A woman, comes around, walking near phone, and pushes hair behind her ears before she picks up phone to stylishly reply, "Hailllo? Kam.."
Without waiting for Kamla to complete her statement, Kalpana jumped in, "May I speak to Seema Di please...!!" she said. Kamla blanked up for couple of second, "Ji Kya Kaha Aapne?" she requested, Kalpi stopped and paused, "I am calling from London, and I would like to speak to Ms. Seema Jadhav!" Kalpana repeated. Kamla smiled wide, "Ohh, London Calling.. wait haan.." as she saw Raghav passing by, she called up to him, "Raghav beta..." gaining his attention, "What is it MOM!! I am getting late for my fitness session, stop bugging him.." he replied in his same arrogant manner, and hearing him even in distance made Kalpana crunch, yet she tried remaining calm.. Raghav took over phone from Kamla's hand, "HELLO!" he said, "I just want to speak to Ms. Seema, if you can please call her!" she said in broken voice, "She isn't around young lady and we aren't her assistant to go screaming for her, May I know who is this, we will give your message!" Raghav replied. Being irritated by his arrogance and her own inner turmoil caused by his betrayal, "That's NONE of your buisiness, and You aren't anyone to be given any message!" saying so she cuts the call allowing herself to calm down after cutting it.
Parth came out from his room, and seeing her state, he realized, what might have had happened. He went ahead towards her, with glass of water and sat besides her.. Kalpana looked at him, "Parth go and get dressed up, roaming around in boxers will make you look a psycho.., I am yet to cook give me some time..." she said, once again looking away.. "I could see you did try calling home..." and Kalpana looked at him and grabbing nearest cushion, started hitting him, "It's all cuz of you" she repeated it several times as she continued hitting him... Parth started bursting in laughter, "Well, I am glad," he said.. as he tried defending himself. As he continued defending, a glass of water fell on Kalpana, and she looked at him with hard core irritation and he again burst into laughter...
While two friends enjoyed here, on the other hand, Raghav was shocked to hear such a rude reply from other end, making him wonder, "WHO THE HELL DARED to speak that way to Raghav Singhaniya?" That's exactly, when Seema entered house with Gauri by her side, as he saw her coming, he looked at Kamla, "Mom, don't you feel your partners have some rude friends?" he taunted, gaining attention of Seema and Gauri, and both looked at each other in confusion.
After calming down for couple of seconds, Parth once again went off, "What happened?" he asked looking at her, making her bit more serious, "Does he still affect you so much Kalpana?" he asked. Kalpana looked down, and tried ignoring, "It's just that in some moment of shock, anxiety and excitement of her marriage news, I ended up calling on their landline.. and had to hear him," she paused for and decided to chose up for right words, "It's not that he affects me, but yes, I had loved him alot, and when the trust he betrayed, and heart is wounded, it's difficult to let go off.." she looked at Parth, "But I am so happy to have someone like you around now..." she held his hand with smile, "Thank You Parth..." "Thank You for everything.." she said and hugged his bare form. Parth smiled at her words, and to lighten up the mood, "That's Ok, Kalpu.. I have habit of..." Kalpana pushed him away, "It's Kalpi or Kalpana.. don't call me Kalpu..." she said angrily... Parth laughed, "It's Kalpu, Kalpu and Kalpu..." Kalpi gave him sarcastic smile, "Ok, Piyu... then... it..." wiping away smile from his face... and she turned back to head towards kitchen giving him victorious smile.
On the other side, Seema went towards Raghav, "So what are you saying? Our rude friends?" she questioned... Raghav looked at her angrily, "Only Yours rather!" he said glaring at her, Seema smiled, "Oh yes, and all your friends are saint right?" her snapping back, instigated Raghav more, but before he can say something, Kamla thought to cut in.. for stopping world war 3 between devar and would be bhabhi. "Beta ... There was a call for you... I think.. it from wohh... Laaandin" she said, trying to be clear in her words. "From London," wondered seema knowing who could it be? "Did Par..." before she can complete her talk, she heard her cell phone ringing andimmediately opened her purse, to find her phone, with name flashing, "Parth Calling". Without wasting a second, she picked it up, and begun, "Hello..." and smile formed on her face, when she heard, "Yes, Just a second, your sister wants to speak to you..."
Parth went in the kitchen and took away, the pan, Kalpi had in her hand, and offered her phone, "I will cook today, while you cry little,.." Kalpana looked at him in confusion, and when she didn't take phone, he placed it on her ears, and shouted, "Seema You can speak now, she is listening!" he said. Seema, on the other hand was extremely happy, "Hello Kalpi..." she said. Hearing the familiar name, had shook Raghav, and he looked back at Seema. "Kalpi?" he repeated to himself, while Gauri looked on at her smiling daughter speaking to her other daughter, and looked down. Raghav looked on curious to know, where is she and how is she fairing?
He heads towards his bedroom, when he heard, "Beta, your feetnessh shession?" Raghav rolled his eyes at her mom's super English, "I am not in mood anymore..." and Gauri observed his retreating form towards his room and then looked at Seema who was on call.
Raghav enters his room and locks it and frustrated sits on the bed. "She didn't even wish to speak to me, while there was a time, when she her day might have not ended without telling me, all about it... and her daily schedule," he thought, "You consider me so bad Kalpana?" he asked air in the room, hoping it would convey her the disappointment he was feeling at the moment.
Kalpana smiled little, "I will try dii, but I do not guarantee you..." she said, "You know I have responsibilities here, and I am hoping Samar Ji would keep you happy, and loads of love and congrats once again," she said on phone.
