Kalpi returns back to her office while thinking about Sheetal. She wonders how to trace her and why Rags dint show any expression that day when she was talking about Sheetal to him. She closes her eyes and recalls the events that happened that day.. Everything comes in front of her eyes as if watching some movie reel.. #She is telling Rags about Sheetal.. he dint gave any expression and agreed to help readily but worriedly asks her whether everything is fine or not.. next day how she reminds him about it and carefree he replied that he has talked with SP.. Pakhi coughing on mention of Sheetls."#
"Food wasn't that spicey... than why Pakhhi choked her food!! Her reaction was on hearing Sheetal's name.. Can Pakhi b the one related to Sheetal?? Ohh yes.. she is!! When she can harm her own mother than why can't she help Rags in kicking me out of his life." She thought.
The last line hurted her very much but it's true for her.. Rags kicked her out of his life and in such a way that she lost her dignity, her parents.. everything. She remembers all her meetings with Rags after her return and specially the night when he dressed her wounds.
"Why m I confuse now... Till yesterday it was crystal clear that Rags is the culprit.. He has accepted his crime in front of Ayi. He told her that he is ready to move on with Pakhi than why I am still seeing love in his eyes? Why I felt the concern he showed me yesterday is not fake. Is he again trying to play a game with me or he is feeling guilty for whatever happened with me. Can he be innocent?? No.. he can't be.. But I have to find out. I have to go to the deep to know how all that happened... But right now it feels as if I have come to a dead end. No idea about Sheetal. And Maria.. I do not think she knows anything. What to do now."
She starts going through her mobile to see Neetu's drawings.. She tries to understand them but fails, all she could see is some lines n circles and letters.. Someone knocks the door and she quickly locks the screen and looks up only to get shocked on seeing the person on the door.
--------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Prem is standing outside Maria's house is gathering courage to ring the bell. So many times he has raised his hand to press the switch but pulled it back thinking what he will say to his duaghter.. He hopes that Maria still loves him but wonders what if she is married.. "No she can't be married as Pari said she is Pari Maria Desouza.. So that clearly means she doesn't have a father." He is talking with himself... He once again tries to ring the bell but a shadow on the window curtain catches his attention. He looks at carefully and finds someone peeping from the window to look at him.. He goes to the window.. and asks.. "Is someone there??" He doesn't get any reply but giggles of a little child.. The child again peeps from the side of the curtain.. Her curly hair fall and lovely blue eyes are visible to him now.. He can see the glimpse of Maria in her appearance and realizes that she is his daughter only.. He is dying to see her full face but she hides again on realizing that he has seen her.
"Miss Pari.. I know it's u." He said sweetly while tears are forming in her eyes. On hearing her name she again opens the curtain and asks, "Do u know me?? Who r u??"
He looks at his beautiful daughter standing on the chair kept beside the window.. Her little hands are holding the curtain.. Her pretty pink face resembles her sweet cheeks.. She is a carbon copy of Maria but her smile.. it's exactly that of Prem.. "Tell me who r u??" She repeated while adjusting her hairband which has big white flower. Tears start flowing from his eyes.. She takes her hand out from the window grill which was narrow but wide enough for her small palms and wipes his tears.
"Why are u crying?? Mom says good girls don't cry... Oops but u r a boy.. mom dint said anything about good boys. " She said while keeping her finger on her chin as if she is thinking something. Prem finally laughs at her antics and prceeds his hand to touch her cheeks but grill comes in the mid. He keeps his palm on her and asks, "Is ur mamma at home??". She nods her head in no and repeats.. who are u... "I am ur.." He paused before saying father n says... "U can call me ur friend for now." She smiles and they shakes hand when someone calls from inside.. "Pari.. with whom are u talking??" A old granny comes to the window and opens the door on seeing Prem. Prem recognizes her as Maria's mom.
"Good evening aunty.. M... " He hesitates while taking his name as he is not sure how she will react on seeing him.
"Prem Kapoor.. " She said while looking at him.
"Have u seen me??" He was surprised as they never met and he has already seen her photo.
"No.. but I have seen u in my daughter's eyes.. In her talks. But still I recognized u only by seeing the love u have in ur eyes right now for the little girl. Only a father can have such pure love" She said.
He touches her feet and she blesses him and tells him to come inside as Maria has gone to office and will come in an hour or too. He comes inside and talks with his daughter.. She addresses him as friend and her granny amuses on hearing it.
"I want her to know about me from her mom. Aunty will u mind if I ask why u left Mumbai 5 years ago..."
"Beta.. it will be better if u ask this from Maria.." She replied while lowering her eyes.
"Aunty.. can u plz answer one thing?? She loves me na?"
"Do I really have to reply that?? She named her daughter as Pari despite being Christian... What more proof u want."
"But than y she left me? I was under the impression that she ditched me but on hearing my daughter's voice I forgot everything.."
"N she thinks that u ditched her."
"What?? But I have sent my mom to talk about our marriage.. it was she who refused and left the city."
"Ur mother came here but not to talk about ur marriage instead to offer money to my daughter.. She told that u want her to go away from ur life.. She wanted to talk to u regarding this but ur mom dint let u meet her and threaten us to leave the city.. When Maria opposed and dint agree to her, she threatened us by kidnapping my little sister.. She made all the arrangements for us and we were forced to leave the city. She tried calling ur number but it wasn't in reach so she tried calling at ur office but ur dad told us that u do not want to see her face and finally we left the city. On knowing about her pregnancy, she came to meet u in ur office but u were in meeting.. She waited for 2 hours n finally ur sis came. She informed that u want her to abort th child. She refused but she again threatened her and forced her to come with her to the hospital.. But my child.. she refused for this abortion and that doctor helped her in hiding that. That night she cried a lot... she believed that it was u who wanted her to abort the child N we left the other place as well which ur mom arranged for us." Her mom said while having tears in her eyes.
"Aunty.. trust me.. I dint knew about it. It was all my mom n sis's plan and I can't tell u how she used Maria to destroy an innocent girl's life." He said while clenching his fist in anger.
"I trust u Prem.. I have seen the world and I was sure that ur mom is lying but it was tough for me to explain my daughter."
Maria who has just now reached there looks at Prem.. Her handbag falls from her hands.. She runs towards him and hugs him tightly. He too hugs her back. Tears were flowing from their eyes.. Granny holds Pari's hand and leaves from there. After few minutes Maria realizes that she is hugging Prem and breaks it and pushes him back with force.. He is taken aback on sudden jerk. She lifts her hand and slaps him hard and cries..
"Why the hell u came back in my life... What do u want now?? I ma happy in the small world I have created.. We don't need u. I know u have come to take my daughter away from me.. but mind it. I m not going to let u meet her. U r a cheater... a big liar. Get lost from my eyes."
Prem looks at her vulnerable state and hugs her tightly, she tries to move but Prem's arms are strong enough for her tiny body.
"Yes.. u r right I am here to take my daughter with me.. but she won't come alone. I want her mother in my life. I am sorry for all what happened. I dint knew that my mom and sis played a dirty game on u, I was under impression that u cheated me but aunty told me the reality. I am sorry. Please come back to me. My life is still incomplete without u." He said while loosing his grip on her body to let her move freely.
She has the option top walk out of his arms now but she is finding the peace after a long time. She doesn't know whether to believe Prem or not but after a long time she is hearing some soothing words from the person who hurted her the most and dint want to miss the opportunity. She stays back in her arms when a tear fell on her neck. She lifts her head and looks at Prem's face.. he was looking like a kid while crying. His innocence was reflecting in his eyes.
"Prem.. I do not know whether to trust u or not... As u do not have any proof but my heart wants to trust u. U won't break it again na??"
"No never.. I promise that the day I will hurt u will be the last day of my life." He breaks the hug and kneels down asking .. "Will u marry me Maria.."
She nods in yes and sits down on her knees.. hugs him back saying.. "Let me be here for some more time.. If it's a dream than let me sleep for forever now."
Prem embraces her when Pari come running to them.. "Mom..why are u hugging my new frn." She yelled on seeing her mom in his arms. Maria extends her hands and she too joins the hug.
"Pari.. u always wanted to meet ur dad naa... he is ur dad." She said.
"Dad.. " She chuckled.
Prem gets emotional on hearing it from her mouth.. He kisses her forehead and tells her to repeat.. She repeats "Dad.. now u will stay with us na??"
"Yes.. u guys are coming with me to the mumbai."
"But Prem.. mom n my job??"
"U don't worry about aunty.. I mean mom. She is also coming with us. Now she is my mother also n my responsibility. "
"Marry me now." Maria asked.
"Just wait for one more day.. I want to marry u in front of my special frn who helped me in finding u. She is the sole reason for my happiness."
"Who is she??"
"That's a surprise. U will meet her tomorrow. Right now pack ur bags and get ready to leave the city."

Kalpi looks at Sammy standing on the door asking the permission to come in.. She allows him and asks in anger, "What r u doing here??"
"Why u did this to me?? Why r u doing this to Raghav??" he asked.
Kalpi picks her phone and tells Amar to ensure that no one enters my cabin.. no phone calls. By the time Kalpi was on call.. Sammy ensures that his voice recorder is on.
"What the hell are u saying Sammy??"
"Kalpi.. I am just asking a simple question.. Why r u doing this Raghav?? Why u want to destroy him??"
"Why will I do such thing??"
"We both know ur true face so u need not wear this facade in front of me.. Tell me the truth.."
"Ohh really Sammy... u noe everything.. than y u want to ask me??"
"Coz I am still not able to believe that the Kalpi whom Rags love the most is cheating him."
"Ohh please... cut the crap. Rags doesn't love me."
"So u r taking revenge on him for not loving u."
"What I did??"
"So u want to hear from me than listen.. u came here for a reason.. u came here to destroy Rags.. U bribed Mehta for giving the land to u.. than u trapped Rags to get involve in ur project n than u were aware of the fraud deal but u still kept mum. In fact u send me to the place from where I can't contact Rags. U intentionally made me culprit in front of Rags so that I break my friendship with him.. u r trapping Rags for ur own benefit. U and Prem both are together in this plan. "
"Wow Sammy.. u r genius.. u know everything. But u r sadly mistaken at 1 point... I dint kept mum for the deal.. infct I was the one who made that deal.. Do u want to know how I did all this, it was very easy.. ur frn is a fool n I just used it against it. I always knew that Rags wanted to build a society for my so called Ayi so I destroyed this dream of his by bribing Mr. Mehta. Than I purchased that land on low cost and trapped an innocent mechanic in my trap. I told Prem to bid as high as possible as I knew Rags wanted that land at any cost and ur stupid frn fell in my trap. U r right.. it was me who stole his phone so that u can't contact him.. jammers was my idea as well. I purchased his shares and made Prem CEO. It was me who purchased his house and now ur frn is on Road coz of me only. Ur correct.. I let u know my secrets and broke ur fshp with Rags.. u want to know why?? Coz that was final stroke on his backbone.. I know without ur support he won't be able to get up again. N u.. Mr. Supersmart Sammy too fell in my trap. I did all this because I want to take revenge on u. Thats it. Wasn't that a super plan sammy??"
"Mind blowing Kalpi... I dint knew that a sweet n simple girl Kalpi and become so vicious." He said sarcastically.
"N this vicious Kalpi is going to destroy ur frn fully, till now I have destroyed his professional life but now it's about his relations."
"Great. I do not think I have anything to say now. It's useless to takk to a girl like u so I think I should leave now... I got all my answers." He said while turning back and switching off the recorder.
"Now I have solid proof against u Kalpi... This time Raghav will believe me for sure. I won't forgive him for what he did to me but I won't let u destroy him anymore."
