Meanwhile, when raghav reached the house. He recall his mom trying to leave them, he could hear his father telling him to come back and a car accident. Gauri seeing him in a daze, called his name again. " were here raghav, home"
He got out of the car just watching to see if anything changed. Many things have changed. The house was repainted, flowers on each side. The fountain was new. So was the servants. Gauri told him not to worry about the change, he says his room his the same just like he left it except for the bed.
Raghav frown " is dad home" he says
Gauri tense. " raghav" she says getting his attention " your dad is out on a business trip. It will be a while before he comes back" she says
Raghav sigh with relief. He recall something from last night " the girl that was their with me that night, she had a sindoor just like me. Is she my wife?"
Gauri chuckles " no raghav, she was just their at the wrong time. The red stuff on your hair was from a holi event. Apparently people were having holi at the beach, and it probably smeared on both of you."
Raghav didn't by it. something was telling him not too. Gauri tells him to come before opening the door. Their, she introduce to him her new family.
Confused Raghav asks about his dad again, gauri says your father is on a trip, but we divorced long ago. This upsets Raghav. Before Sammy could introduce himself, he moved away and ran upstairs. He could hear gauri calling him, but he ignored it.
When he enters, he recall his father. " why?" He says " why is everything different around me" " how is it I missed so much" he asks
He look around for his awards which his father was proud of and saw it no where. " where is it?" He says
He gave up few minutes later and cried " nothing is the same anymore"
Raghav staid in the room until night time. When he stepped out, he heard some whispers downstairs. " how long do you think he will stay up in that room?"
" I don't know, he can live their for all I care" Sammy says
" enough, Raghav is family. I know it's strange for him to suddenly appear, but we will have to learn to get along." Gauri says
" your mother is right Sammy, play nice. "
Raghav heard a groan before turning to go back in his room. Before leaving, gauri voice stopped him " do you want me to bring your food upstairs, or will you be joining us for dinner."
Raghav decides to be civil. He walk downstairs and they all went to the dinning room. Sammy wasn't amused and it was very clear. Dinner was extremely quiet, well except for paki who tried talking to him.
Raghav answered few of her questions. Sammy seeing his wife so happy to talk to his so call brother hits the table " Enough Paki, don't you have no shame"
" what are you talking about" she says
" your ridiculous" he says getting up and leave
" Sammy, honey... wait" she says going after him
Gauri ignored the drama and continued eating.
The next day arrived, it was noon. Kalpi was searching for her finest outfit. When she got it, she dressed and stood in the mirror. She puts adorn the sindoor on her hair loom and cover her hair.
Pakiya walks in " Waw sis, you are glowing"
Kalpi smile, " when you find that special someone you will glow too"
Pakiya laughs " I'm a guy, I don't glow"
" no, but your heart does"
" already the love expert. I guess marriage changes people" he mumbles
Kalpi walk to him and touch his shoulder " hey, I'm still the same girl you met long ago. I won't change, and I won't forget you all."
" promise"
" promise"
They smile at each other before walking downstairs. The group we're mesmerized by her look. Vitthal smile before doing a small ritual " are you ready to start your new journey "
" yes I am" she says
The group says their goodbye, and Kalpi hug each of them. They enter Vitthal car and head to Raghav house.
