Kalpana The vicious Girl updt on pg 45 on 18 Dec

@Katnipura

Sheetal was pacing outside STD booth to call Pakhi but the owner of the booth was busy in repairing something in the booth.. She looks at her watch and mumbles... "Uff... It has been exactly half hour and I am not able to connect through Pakhi... I hope the guy was her friend only.. Till now he must have left the village."

"Madam... U can call now..." The voice of STD owner relaxed her... She rushes towards the STD booth which was covered with glass and dials Pakhi's number... After few minutes she comes out of the booth all relieved and looking at her cheque in happiness... She decides to drop the cheque today itself and moves towards the bank which was on the other side of road... She notices one ertigo car parked in front of the bank.. It's ravishing red color attracts her... "Someday I will purchase the same car... This Pakhi is a big fish... I need to trap her more... And she can provide me all the luxuries I want in my..." Before she can complete the words, the window of car opens and a gun comes out and fires a bullet... It directly hits on her chest and she falls down on the floor... The shooter runs away, leaving his car behind... Before closing her eyes she sees a similar figure chasing the shooter and falls unconscious.

@Kapoor House

Prem and Maria have finally reached their farm house... though the truth which Prem faced few minutes back was horrible but Pari's cute talks relaxes him a bit.. He indulges himself in her cute talks and finally forgets the bitter truth for few minutes.. Maria sighs relief on seeing a smile on his face finally. She decides to call Kalpi and inform her about the day but to her surprise she was not receiving the call... Though it was a reason for her worry but she decides to not inform about this to Prem as it will bother him more...

@Singhania Mansion

Raghav was standing at window looking at his phone as if waiting for someone's call... He was too guilty to face Kalpi and hence was waiting at a place where he can catch her glimpse but she won't notice him... His eyes were flipping between mobile and door wondering why the person has not called yet...

"Beep Beep.. " One new message pops on his screen... "Why she sent me message when I was expecting her call... It's been a long time and she should have called me by now... " He thought.. But the name of sender surprises him.. "Pakya.. Why will he text me??" He open the message and read it curiously, "Baba had an accident... He is fine now but ayi dint let Kalpi stay here... She is too shattered. Please take care of her. I dint know whom to contact in such condition as she is alone in that house so messaged u."

Mobile drops from his hands... He knows how much Kalpi loves her father and how badly it had affected her... The horn of car makes him realize that Kalpi has arrived... He runs towards the door... Kalpi steps out of the car and notices him running towards the door.. She was too weak ot run and just stops at the door... he too stops few steps away from her... She looks up at his eyes.. he too looks deep into her eyes and notices the tears that were still fresh... Her pain starts flowing from his eyes... He looks down to stops herself from getting weak but she was too shattered to compose herself... He moves ahead and lifts her face an wipes the tear which rolled down..

"Raghav.. Baba!!" Unable to control she starts crying... He pulls her towards him and hugs her tightly.. "I know.. Pakya messaged me..." He said while caressing her head and letting her cry freely on his shoulder. She clenches her fist tightly on his back, letting her nails dig on them and starts crying more bitterly. He feels the pain and realizes how badly she wants someone... He feels as if she was trying to hold something which she doesn't want to lose.

"Sshh.. Sshh... Calm down baby!! Baba is fine. Nothing happened to him naa." He said while wiping her tears and gently helps her in taking her to her room... he makes her sit on the bed and offers water.. She nods her in negative.

"Just a sip Kalpi... Please." He said lovingly and makes her drink it... She calms down a bit.. Both of them were too emotional to say anything... Kalpi looks at his face and realizes her folly of punishing him without talking to him once... She notices the love and care he has for him... He notices her looking at him and asks "What??" She nods her head and hugs him once again... She wanted to be in the arms of man who loved her unconditionally... She was feeling guilty for destroying the man who was supporting her when her own mother hurted her. He too was feeling guilty for not being there when she needed him the most.. But right now he was feeling happy and content on finding the love of his life in his arms... His senses were not working and unknowingly he kisses her on her cheeks... She closes her eyes and doesn't feel bad about it until she hears Khushi's voice who was playing outside the room... She leaves Raghav with a jerk when he too realizes his mistake and apologizes immediately but she keeps her hand on his lips while telling him not to.. Both feels awkward in each other's presence but none of them really wanted to apart...

"I think u should sleep now... M here only... u can ask whatever u want." Raghav said without looking into her eyes..

"I am fine... I think u should.." She wanted to tell him to go but words stuck in her throat.. She dint want to stay alone tonight and hence stayed mum. Raghav understood the unspoken words and feelings as well.

"I am not going anywhere... u just sleep. I will sit on couch." He said while sitting on the couch and telling Kalpi to sleep. Kalpi closes her eyes and pretends to sleep while her mind was full of beautiful memories of her father and Raghav.

"I wish I could bring that golden days back but Pakhi spoiled everything.. She ruined my lovely world and I can't forgive her... Though he is sitting in front of me but I can't claim his as my own and that's all becoz of Pakhi... I swear Pakhi.. I won't spare u.. Jus coz of u I do not have anyone... I need to control myself... I need to gather the courage once again. I can't let u win.. I can't get weak at this moment... For few more days I have to be the vicious Kalpi which I was few days back. I can't forget the 5 years which I spent alone... No one was there for me except Prem.." She gets up with a jerk on remembering his name...She forgot to call Prem and Maria who were supposed to meet the truck driver who killed Sahil Kapoor. Raghav who was sitting on couch notices her expressions and runs to her.

"R u fine Kalpi??" Ragahv asked worriedly.

"I need my phone.. I need to call someone urgently, but I do not know where I lost it." She said.

Raghav looks around and notices mobile kept on dressing table... He picks it ups. "It's here, Kalpi... It looks like u forgot it at home."

Kalpi looks at her phone and wonders how can she keep mobile on dressing table when she never does that.. "Did anyone check my phone?" She thought worriedly and starts going through inbox but to her relief it was empty. "Thank God... I have a habit of deleting my inbox. " She heaved relief.

"Are u ok?? What r u thinking??" Raghav was confused on her actions.

"I am perfectly fine now Raghav.. Thank u so much for ur support but I think u should go to ur room now." She said while returning to her cold tone. Raghav realizes that she needs privacy and gets up... Before going out he looks at her once again. Though her eyes were still showing gratitude and love towards him but her face was stern like before..

"Now u can't fool me Kalpi... I can look through ur stern face and see the pain and love u r hiding... Just few days more Kalpi... Once I will prove u innocent n Pakhi guilty than we will be together for forever." He said to himself and leaves the places.

"I wish Raghav I could tell u how much I love u but I can't snatch Khushi's happiness which lies in her family... I know she will need u after losing Pakhi and hence I do not want u to divide her love." She said to herself after he left.

Updated Part, Sorry guys m damn sleepy so this part is not satisfactory... Bear this part for once... i will try to improve myself in next par... if any of u find it clumsy than please inform me. i will rewrite it again. N from now onwards I have decided to dedicate each chapter to one of the reader as I write for them and hence this update dedicated to VijayaLakshmi who asks for updates constantly and her comments forces me to write even at 1 AM. Sorry for mistakes but u know the reason😆

Raghav and Kalpi were not the only one who were feeling restless that day but someone else was also pacing in her room with a frown on her face... And it was none other than Pakhi... She had seen Raghav-Kalpi's closeness while she entered the room and from that moment she was getting restless and was making new plans to destroy them...

Raghav who was sitting in his room had completely forgotten about the phone call he was expecting and was lost in Kalpana's pic.. He was remembering the moment when she was in her arms just like a shattered baby.. Though he felt bad on seeing her in pain but taking her in his arms after full 5 years was a true pleasure for him... Though he dint want to think in that way but it was a golden moment for him and precious to him... he apologizes to Vitthal in his mind for feeling happy on his condition but coz of him he got to know that Kalpi still loves him and still feels secure in his arms.

Kalpi, who was restless initially felt relaxed after talking to Maria who updated her on the happenings of day and Prem's condition.. Kalpi offered to come to her house but Maria convinces her that she will take care of her friend very well... Though Maria said it casually but Kalpi understands the hint that she needs to take back seat now and give some space to Prem and Maria. She feels happy on finding a frn like Maria with whom she shared her feelings in words and relaxed herself... Though in true sense it was Ragahv whose warm support gave her strength but talking to Maria helped her in getting back to her vicious mode. She hangs the call and speaks to Pakya who updates her about Vitthal's health and she feels happy on knowing that Vitthal is perfectly fine now...

She remembers the moment when she was in Ragahv's arm and blushes... It's been more than 5 years that she had felt any such feelings.. She picks her arms and covers it till the face and sleeps with a smile... The day which ended on a horrible note ended on a sweet memory for her... Though she was very well aware that Raghav is not her, but feeling of being loved that too after such a long time was enough for her smile to stay on her face for entire night.

-------------------------------- ----------------------------------

Next day morning in Singhania's conference room

Kalpi, Prem and Raghav was sitting in the room waiting for Sammt who had texted them to come... Though all of them were stealing glances at each other but none was able to say a word. Each of them had their own reasons for staying silent... While Prem was guilty for blaming Raghav for Sahil's death, Ragahv was uncomfortable in sitting the place which once belonged to him.. And kalpi... she was still uncomfy on remembering the previous night events.

Finally Sammy arrives but he was looking too tired and exhausted... He greets everyone and understands the awkward silence between them..

"Ok guys... we need to communicate... All of us knows the secrets which we are hiding from each other." Sammy said while raising his eyebrow. "Raghav, Prem and Kalpi... We all know what happened 5 years back and why Kalpi left the city.. Raghav, it was Prem who helped Kalpi in going out of the town and..."

While Sammy was about to reveal the secret that Kalpi and Prem destroyed him.. Ragahv pressed his hand tightly and gestures him not to speak a word about it... He bows his head and continues her sentence... "And it was him who helped her in establishing KJ industries... And all of us know that Pakhi was the reason behind what happened... So let clear all misunderstandings and becomes friends again."

Everyone nods their head in unison but none of them takes the initiative... Sammy nods in head in disappointment.

"Prem... Pakhi should be puni..." Sammy pauses on realizing that he was about to speak about his sister whom he loved dearly. "I mean she is ur sister..." he hesitated a bit.

"And she is my dad's murderer." Prem completed without blinking his eye. It took a whole night for him to accept the fact and now it doesn't affect him anymore.

Raghav and Sammy looked at him in shock while kalpi looked at him in pain... "Even she was the one who kept my mom in asylum and bribed doctor to make her mentally ill. N she should be punished for all the crimes. I am sorry Raghav.. I blamed u for the crime which my sister committed." He added while lowering his head.. Raghav understands his pain and gets up and hugs him.. Sammy and kalpi smiles.. Finally they revel all the secrets that are known to them except the Kalpi's one as none of them wanted Kalpi to feel guilty for destroying Raghav.. Kalpi tried to reveal that truth many times but they never let her do that.

"So Sammy... Do we got any information from Sheetal??" Kalpi asked finally.

"Sheetal is dead." Sammy said. Saying all of them was in shock would be an understatement. "Someone shot her in heart and she was declared as dead on arrival. Katnipura police had filed the case but there are no chances of finding the culprit, as the car which was being used by the killer was stolen from showroom and wasn't even registered. He left the car at the spot and ran away... I tried to follow him but..." Sammy said in a dejected tone.

"N that's why u dint call me yesterday night." Raghav asked him.

"N that's why Pakhi dint come again to ask money." Prem said at the same time.

"N we dint got any information on why she blackmailed Pakhi.?? Tell me in detail." Kalpi asked at the same time too... It was like all three of them speaking simultaneously.

"Ok... Let me tell u from the start... I went to Sheetal's house to take out the information about Pakhi and she told me that Pakhi did an accident and she is blackmailing her for that. I gave her the cheque and left the house... "

Flashback

Sammy comes out of the house and calls Raghav who was already waiting for his call... "Raghav... this Sheetal is much smarter than what we thought... She dint told me the truth but cooked some stupid story."

"I think it's time for plan B now.. Sammy go for it. "

"Yes.. it's the perfect time... She has already left the home for calling Pakhi and I had given money to STD guy.. he will not let her call for next half hours... Now the ball is in ur court. Find Pakhi's phone and divert it on Maya's cell now."

Raghav enters Pakhi's room who was playing on her mobile... She gets up on looking him... Her happiness had no bound.. "Raghav... what r u doing in my room?? Do u want something??" She asked in a happy tone.

"Actually Pakhi... I need tea... the special one which u learnt from Kamla maa... I am too tired to have coffee today."

"Sure Raghav.. u go in ur room and I will bring tea for u..."

"Can't I sit in ur room... It's been a long time that we have not talked like friends... I know we can't be life partners but can't we become friends once again??"

"Ohh Raghav... For sure... We were always good friends... u just wait for 2 minutes... I will bring tea for u."

Pakhi goes out of the room leaving her cell behind... Raghav picks it up and diverts all call on Maya's number... He keeps the phone back on it's place and calls Maya... "Work done.. Now it's ur turn to handle that lady. Remember what we talked yesterday."

When sheetal calls Pakhi, coz of call diverting it redirects to Maya's number... Maya pretends to be pakhi and assures Sheetal that Sammy is her friend. Sheetal happily hangs the call.

Raghav talks with pakhi for some more time so that she doesn't get time and finally on finding opportunity cancels the call divert.

Flashback ends

"But Sheetal was being shot before telling us anything." Sammy said in the end. Kalpi notices something in his expressions... he feels like he is hiding something but doesn't says anything.

"So what is the next plan??" Prem asked for avoiding any thoughts about Pakhi which he was getting.

"Well.. I will try to find the shooter... Only that can help us." Sammy said.

"I think I should leave now.. Else Amar will again taunt me..." Raghav said in a serious tone.

Sammy nods his head in affirmative. Kalpi feels bad on hearing it.

"Raghav.. can we work in partnership again??" Prem said while calculating something.

"Not now Prem... Do not want Pakhi to get any doubt. But that was sweet of u." Rags replied.

Prem nods in head in affirmative and they again share a friendly hug while Sammy joked... "Guys... enough!! No need to make dostana2."

"Looks like someone is jealous...O..o.. Sammy!!! Don't worry Raghav is all urs... My wife is waiting for me. " Prem replied while laughing.

All three of them laughed loudly... Kalpi notices the sadness in their laugh but her focus was on Sammy who was trying hard to hide something.

"Shall I drop u somewhere??" Raghav's voice takes her out of trance.

"No.. I have some work here." She refused politely.

Raghav and Prem leaves the place.. While Sammy was leaving, she stops him.

"What r u hiding Sammy??" She asks directly.

"Nothing... It's just.." Sammy fumbles.

"Truth please... u know I am capable of handling anything." Kalpi said.

"Khushi is not Raghav's daughter and I do not want him to know this..." He blurted out without looking at her, while she was unable to believe what she heard.
