Hey guys.😊.
Thanks for reading so far.. My FF is becoming longer than the drama.. 🤡😛.. I guess I tried my best to make KaYu in this chapter more relatable... I mean it may not be as bad as the previous chapters.. I want to Make Vishwa's Change more Slow than the Drama series.. And Dadi is not evil in this FF.
QUICK NOTE: No info about Yug's Mom so I assumed she's dead and her name is Urmila..
That said. here's the next one..
Chapter 7
Kaali had expected to meet Manji maa in the temple. But what she had not expected was that she would meet Yug's father too. Manji maa had told him everything. Raghu just hugged Kaali as she bent to take blessings. "My dear.. Even though we are not related by blood, Manjiri is still my sister. And that makes me your Mama.." Kaali smiled and said, "Thank you for sheltering my mother when she needed a support the most. If it wasn't for you and your family, I would never have met my Manji Maa.. Thanks alot for giving her happiness." Raghu looked, "If you really wanted Manjiri's happiness, you would have left the house already. You are not giving her anything else but worries and tensions. She can't sleep when you are getting hurt there. Leave that house, Kali." "If I leave the house now where will we live?" kali asked. Raghu replied, "I can arrange a house in Patna for your people. You can live there as long as you..." "But will my Manji maa be happy there?"Kali interrupted "No Mamaji.. Even if she pretend to be happy, she will not be truly happy. You know that your sister loves her husband very much. Even if their ideologies are different she would be more than happy to spend her life with my Badke Papa. My Manji maa does not hate him. It's only his superstitions that she hates. She, like every lady in the world, considers her loved one's company as her greatest happiness." Raghu was about to say something when Kali folded her hands in front of him. Mamaji.. I know you are worried about me. But just like Manji maa gave me happiness, I also want to give her happiness. I ready to suffer to any lengths for my mother. And besides Manji maa Has given me one month time, please give me at least that much time. If I fail, then I'll listen to whatever you both say."
Raghu shook his head, "Kali beta.. People like my mother or your father cannot be changed even after month. And you are talking about a month. It is impossible. Don't hurt your mother anymore.. Just go to Patna with her." Kali smiled again, "It's only her body that would be in Patna but my Manji Maa's soul would be still here longing to meet Badke Papa.. And about Badke Papa... Change is inevitable. People, things, places change with time. It is the only law in our universe. Badke Papa will also change. Ramji will help me with it. I will change him through knowledge, determination and love. Please give me a chance. Badke Papa also loves Manji maa very much. Their relationship is as pure as Ram sita." Manji was touched. Raghu hugged her again. "I can't help but be jealous of your Badke Papa.. Even after everything the love you have for your father hasn't decreased. I wish everyone has a daughter like you." Kali eyes welled up. Manji wiped her tears and they both left. Kali looked at ramji and thanked him. Things were really brightening up. Her determination to study Sanskrit increased even more. She then collided with Yash, who seemed to be running for his life, on the way. "Kali save me." He said as he hid behind her. Yug came running after him. "Idiot.. get away from there.. Stop using Kali for your protection."
Kali was confused "What is happening?" Yash started to explain as he dodged from Yug's attacks. "Yesterday it was Gauri and today, bhai.. Everyone wants to kill me. I think everyone is jealous of my good looks. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if Brad Pitt tries to kill me tomorrow. Good looks have become a curse for me, Kali..." at last Yug caught him by his collar, "stop blabbering nonsense... He purposefully destroyed my new shoes so that I don't wake him up in the morning.. But bad luck for him that I took these old shoes and woke him up." "Bhai..don't punch me.. we live in India where ahimsa dwells in every heart." Yash said with a great dramatisation of words. Kali had enough of everything. "Yug, Yash stop this.. Are you both kids?." Yash jumped at the opportunity and ran almost pushing Kali. She lost balance and was about to fall but Yug held her. "That idiot can do something right... Make you come closer to me." Yug bent towards her. She looked at the eyes which did not leave hers. Her heart started to beat faster. He was about do something similar to what he did yesterday. Kali felt it in his eyes. She closed her eyes, "Yug please leave me.. people will see." Yug smiled but he did not leave. There was no one there anyway. He decided to tease her."I'll leave you at one condition. You should open your eyes and see me." He whispered. Kaali opened her eyes, she did not look at his eyes but at his chin. Yug still did not leave her. "No kali... You have look at my eyes or else.. or else.. I'll kiss you." Yug whispered. Kali was shocked. She looked at his eyes. "What?" Yug laughed. He left her. She was totally shaken. Her heart was beating painfully fast. Why was Yug doing this? She ran from the place. Yug ran behind her. "Relax.. I would not do that unless everyone agrees for our marriage." Kali stopped right at her tracks. She turned to face Yug. "How long will you stay stubborn? Why are you waging a war against your grandmother? Please understand, your Dadi will not accept me..You should forget about me..you.." Yug put his finger her lips and shushed her. "Kali I have made my decision and I will never change, call me stubborn but I don't care. I want to live my life by my terms and spend it with you. And about Dadi... Change is inevitable, kali. People change with time. It is the only law in our universe. Dadi will also change. And I know your Ramji will help us. I will change our destiny. Please give me a chance. I love you very much" This was the first time he told her that. Kali backed away from him. Even thiough she knew it before, the impact of these words were huge on her heart..It felt the truth had caged her. There was no way of escaping. She started crying. She ran as fast as she can away from him. If she had stayed there a little more she would not have been able to control her emotions. She too wanted to say him that she loved him. When she reached her room she took a pillow and covered her face with it. She didn't want anyone to hear her cries.
************
Kishen Kaka was the head cook of the Choudhary house. He was proud to announce that everything in the kitchen was under his control. Except today. Yash Baba was infront of him and the words came out of his mouth left Kishen Kaka horrified. "You understand the deal Kaka... You listen to what I say or I'll tell Dadi that it was you who told Dad about the Agnipareeksha..." "No.. No.. Yash Baba... Do whatever you want but do not inform Choudhrainji." Yash gave him a toothy smile. Kaka gulped. When asked about what he wanted to do, Yash eyed the grater with an evil smile.
***************
It took some time for kali to control her tears. She washed her face and went to carry out as usual. She was preparing breakfast when Vishwa entered the kitchen. "Kaali.. There's no need for you to do this. Servants will take care of it. You should just concentrate on your studies." Kali showed him the tablets. "Ah! The tablets. Seriously you should stop worrying about other things. I can take care of these things myself. I would not have skipped it." His answer received questioning look from kali. "Really.." said Vishwa as he had his tablets. "I would never skip it but who knows? Maybe I would forget about it." Kaali laughed. Badke papa smiled. "Kaali... Did anything happen? Your smile is not having that spark anymore.." Kaali shook her head, "nothing, Badke papa.. nothing happened." She lied. Just then her mobile rang. "Kali.. help me!" That was hello from Yash. Vishwa asked, "Who is it?" "It's Yug's brother, Yash." Kali replied over the melodrama recitation by Yash on the other end. Vishwa nodded and went out. It took some time for kaali to understand Yash. Apparently mamaji and dadi fought and Yash wanted them to reconcile. So he decided to make Gajar halwa and bring them both together with his new found awesome talent. "But why are you asking my help. There would be many people in the house to help you"
Yash could not answer that question. He had promised Bhai..
"First thing you have to do is bring dadi and dad together..."
"Bhai, even if you hadn't asked that i would have still done it. "
"With the help of kali.." Yash was confused. "Kali? But how can she help?"
"I don't know just find a way to do that.. I'll explain you everything clearly later.. But don't tell anyone about it.. Not even Kali..."
Yash did not understand it but Bhai always had a plan in his head. He would not do anything without thinking it through. "Oh Oh Kali.. Try to understand.. It's a surprise.. Now don't ask any questions and just say me the process." Yash did not let kali ask any more questions. Kali obliged. She made him do a video call and slowly explained him. He followed the instructions obediently.. "Now keep stirring..Stir properly or else it would get stuck on Kadai.." Yash groaned. "Kali.. stirring is so boring. And not to mention tiring." Kali encouraged him, "Well.. don't stop it.. I have an idea. You can talk about something to remove the boredom." Yash looked at her. "You know what.. If this Halwa turns out good then maybe I can ask my Jeep back..." Kali asked, "What happened to it?"
"Just a few complaints against me..(The police got involved..) and dad locked it up. It was really not fair. That accident was not my fault anyway." "You had an accident?" "No.. Vicky was driving it.. We all escaped death just because my Jeep would always be in top condition... Unlike Bhai's Khatara car.." Kaali laughed. "Yes, it always has some or the other problem but he wouldn't hear a word against it.. He becomes all touchy when you.." And she started. She talked and talked all about Yug. Both of them didn't know that Yug was standing outside the kitchen listening to all of it. It was the first time he heard Kali talk about him. He hadn't realised that she saw many things in him. Anyone who would listen to it will understand the depth of her love towards him. He smiled as she started mentioning his little habits (which he haven't noticed himself!! )in an order. "Kali.. No matter how much you deny it, this is the proof you love me.. Maybe even more than me." He told in a low voice. With his determination increased even more he called aman, to start his next part.
Meanwhile Yash interrupted. "Miss Yug Trivia.. I don't want to hear any more praises of my brother. I have completed stirring and the Halwa smell good. Will you stop thinking about my brother and see whether it's cooked properly or not?" Kali blushed while Yash pointed the camera towards the Halwa. "It looks good. I think you have made it... Acha.. I better start studying now.. " Yash smiled, "Thank you kali.. You have stopped the Mahabharat yudh of this house.. say hi to Gauri and Neel from me.."
Yash called everyone out of their rooms and made everyone sit in the hall. "Ladies and gentlemen.. I, The great Yash, Have found a new talent which was inside me.. I have learned to cook and to share my humble delight I have made some special Gajar Halwa for everyone.. " everyone were surprised. Their Yash cooked that too without destroying the kitchen.. "Miracles do happen.. " said Chachi. Everyone including Leela and Raghu smiled. As the servant distributed everyone, sharmila came closer to Yug. "What's this Nautanki's plan?" Yug ate the Halwa and said, "Maybe he want's his Jeep back.." sharmila smiled. "No way.. He is not that stupid to ask that.. I'll bet a 1000 on it.." Yug shrugged. "Let's see then. Keep your 1000 ready coz I'm winning it." Leela ate the halwa with pleasure. "Chulbuli.. He will surpass you in cooking soon.. Arre mere lalla.. Who taught you?" "Kali.. Dadi..She's really great. She was really patient and taught me step by step." Dadi was shocked. "Kali.. you mean that Kaali... the one who wears black dress every day?" Yash shrugged. "Her name is Kali, dadi.. Kaali is her nick name. She became my friend yesterday itself.. She is a good girl.. You know what Dadi.. Most of the time she reminds me of Maa.." Yug smiled. His plan was going smooth until now. Dadi couldn't bear to hear anymore. That lowlife girl was being compared with her Urmila... No never..
"Actually Dadi, Dad,.. can I ask you both something?" Raghu nodded. "Please stop fighting. The house feels less homely when you both fight. I can't bear you both hurting each other." Yash said innocently. "Nautanki" both sharmila and Yug muttered under their breaths as they understood their younger brother properly. But Dadi was easily melted. She hugged him. "Aree mere lalla.. You have become so mature.." raghu did a fake cough. "Yash..My dear son.. What did you really want to ask?" "My Jeep." The words slipped out of yash's mouth. Sharmila groaned. "Yash!! You just lost me a 1000." Yug and everyone smiled. Yash started pleading non-stop to the elders. (Please... Please... Please...)Sharmila accepted her defeat but she looked at yug and "Fine.. But he won't get it." Yug said with confidence, "He will get it.. Wanna bet another 1000.." "With pleasure. I'm gonna get my 1000 back." Sharmila said. After much pleading and promisings, Raghu smiled, "Achcha Baba, You can have it back. But if I get any complaint, it won't be the jeep I'll be locking this time." Sharmila sighed. Both Yug and Yash celebrated their joy.
"Yipee.. 2000.. that too first thing in the morning" yug teased his sister by mockingly raising both his hands in a victory pose.
"Yeah.. Thanks a lot dad.." He hugged his dad. "You are the best dad ever.." And he stormed off outside. Sharmila just looked on. "I can't believe you won two bets.." Yash went off with his Jeep. "What do you think Di.. I think today is my lucky day" Yug said as he looked at his Dadi. Sharmila smiled . it was after a long time everything felt normal. It's the magic of Yash.
The phone rang. Dadi picked it up. "Hello.. Yes it is Choudhrain.. Panditji?.. But this number.. huh? you got a new phone.. achcha.. hmmm..hmmm... But I thought we completed that ritual yesterday.. what do you mean it was incomplete? Ok.. ok.. I'll come to temple now..now itself.." Dadi left. Yug smiled. Everything went smoothly till now. After some time Aman called him. "Yug.. Everything is ready here.. Is dadi and kali coming?" Yug smiled. "Dadi has alredy left.. and I'm sure Kali would also reach there. After all if the fake Pandit has fooled my Dadi, then he can easily bring Kali there.. She believes in everyone.. she is such an innocent girl.." Aman sounded worried, "Yug, are you sure you want to do this to your Dadi.. Don't you think It'll be too much for Dadi.." Yug replied. "I know..I might hurt Dadi more than anyone in her life. But to get my message across her, I should do this. If i want the wheel of change to move...I should be the one to push hard. You guys just get ready and do as planned. And Aman, Kali knows you, so don't go in front of her. Alll the best." He turned back to face Pishimaa. She looked shocked.
************
"Kaali.. give me that application form I'll go and submit it today." Vishwa came near Kali. Kali nodded and handed over the form. Just then, Purohitji entered the room. "Vishwa? Are you planning to submit the form today? Arre today is the most inauspicious day for it." Kaali looked troubled. Vishwa looked indecisive. Purohit understood and added, "Hamari Kali bitiya has a nice future.. Don't destroy it by submitting the form today... and besides.. Kali bitiya only told us that last date is tomorrow. You can submit it tomorrow." Kali was about to say something but then Vishwa nodded. "But badke papa.." "Kaali I know you are worried but I'll surely submit it tomorrow." Kali looked disheartened but still agreed. Just then a call came. It was Panditji. He had some list he wanted to give for the pooja. Vishwa looked at Kali. She smiled, "I'll go Badke Papa. You don't worry."
When Vishwa saw her leave, He said to Jogi. "Bhaiya.. Just look at how she understands me even when I won't utter a word. Sometimes I can't help but feel proud of her." Just then Neel entered the room. "You can say that you are proud of your daughter, she is just so pure. But see my misfortune, I can't even call him my son, let alone asay a good word about him" Neel glowered at him.
Outside the house, Gauri took her car and left for parlour. Purohit smiled. He called Kalyani, "I have only good news for you. Kaali's application will not reach the college. And Gauri just took that Manhoos car and drove off to her death. And as an extra bonus Kaali went to temple. Now there will be no one to save Gauri."
Aman saw Dadi talk to Panditji. Yug called him, "Arree.. Your Kali didn't arrive yet..Wait.. She came" Kaali stepped out of the auto. Yug's Plan was going smoothly till now.
Gauri had the greatest shock as she found out that the brakes were not working. She didn't know what to do.. Kalyani's plan was also going smoothly. Soon Gauri would be dead...
