Kalpana was so confused and was walking back to her home. Her thoughts were interrupted as she heared her phone ring.
Ahhh... hey mom!

Kalpana interrupted Im coming...

Mom... Plz... I'll tell you in a while.. bye

As soon as Kalpana entered home, she noticed Kamala waiting for her with an cup of coffee.
Oh meri jaan! u look so tired. Here have this coffee.
Kalpana threw her bag in couch and took the coffee mug. As kalpana sip her coffee Kamala noticed her pale face.
So whats troubling you my sweetie? asked Kammo
Im engaged, said Kalpana
You are what? Kamala exclaimed as coffee spewed from her mouth
Your reaction means Raghav have fooled me. He has played his stupid prank on me once again. How dare he? I wont leave that idiot.
Listining her daughter's curses for Raghav, Kamala silently prayed for him. Noticing her mom's silence Kalpana once again asked we are now arranged to be married?
May be your dad decided it said Kamala and ofcourse Mr and Mrs Singhania always wants your hand for Raghav in marriage
Mom!!!! Plz... You all trying to force me with Raghav
Kalpana, meri jaan Raghav is good looking, good family, ur friend, u both knew each other very well then whats the problem dear? I bet you both would make a good pair. Already you both are good pair
You cant do this to me!!! Mom plz help me
Okay Ok... Dont worry, lets speak to ur dad once he is back and fix this tonight.
Kalpana just managed to smile and went to her room. Time passed, Kalpana was waiting for Vittal. Once he entered home Kalpana ran to him. Vittal jadav embraced her daughter with a tight hug of love and care. As she opens her mouth to speak, the door bell rang
Kamala went and opened the door Kalpana got a shock to see the person at door.
Kamala invited Raghav, Vikram and Gauri in and all seated in living area.
hey Kalpi! you look beautiful teased Raghav
Damn u Raghav, Im going to kill you though Kalpi
Once all settled in the living area Gauri made Kalpi to sit with them. As Vikram started the conversation of engagement Kalpi signaled Kamala to say something. Kamala intrupted Vikram by saying that Kalpi doesn't want to marry Raghav. After hearing this everyone starts laughing including Kamala. Thats when Kalpi understood that even Kamala knew about the marriage arrangements and she is part in it. Sighing Kalpi got up to move to backward but stopped when Vittal spoke.
Kalpi beta I knew you and Raghav always fight. With smile Vittal continued infact I heared ur friends calling u tom and jerry. I love tom and jerry. They are cute. Baba very funny. Okay okay but listen you both are made to be good pair my sweetheart. Dad we are not same we we i mean we are so different in each case.

Raghav came and sat besides. So Kalpana tommorrow be ready sharp by 11am. I will pick you. We need to choose our engagement ring. With a smile Kalpi accepted his offer.
With an confused smile Raghav said so finally miss charming queen accepted her defeat? Shut up Raghav we are moving to meet Maya and not to buy engagement ring Ok...
What? Kalpi, you are mad. Maya has moved on in her life.
And u ? I know Raghav. Say me one thing if Maya comes back to you will you accept her or not?
Raghav was silent as he himself dont know what he will do if Maya returns back. Does he still love her or not? Kalpana without noticing his confusion continued lets meet Maya tommorrow and make her understand. Im sure she too loves you still.
Kalpi even if Maya accepts what are we going to do when dad doesnt permit. Raghav you always sees the -ve side of the coin. Lets first convince Maya then make her meet uncle aunty.
