That all incident pushed Raghav into the whirlpool of agony...how he was so duffer that he showed his untrust on Kalpi and believed Kamini. He felt dejected by his own behavior. The tears slipped through his barriers as his heart twisted thinking about the persecution, Kalpi tholed in that hour. He felt to crush the person who responsible for her pain. The immense rage grew in him for Kamini.
"I never dreamed Kamini aunty do this all with me. She target my and kalpi's relation for her deed. And I believed her blindly. I never forgive her for this. She will pay very hard for ruining my Kalpi's life" As he thought of Kalpi's soreness...he felt more hatred toward Kamini. His every nerve could be fidgeting to thrash her to the hell. Till now he was living in the fallacy thinking the antagonist as his loveones, and for them he hurt his love...but not anymore. Raghav could feel his entire body was trembling with the urge to see her once again. He was craving for her again...when Gouri's words puzzled him to the core.
"Kamini did nothing Raghav... Is that you who broke your own relationship" she blazoned in a tough tone. Raghav got aghast by her words...
"Mom...I..." his voice shattered with the confusion.
"Yes...you Raghav. Your insecurity, your unbounded anger, your doubt...made you stand here. Kamini only used you for her longings because you gave her chance. If you want to punish someone...then punish you...that may be real punishment" she castigated him. Her words were felt Raghav vigorous...but that was truth, from which he was running. But only he knew how hurtful was his deed, now pricking to his own heart.
"I never wanted to hurt her mom...but things were out of to grip for me. And Pari's kidnapping, her pain all seized my understanding. This was all my fault...nor I went to hospital to meet Kalpi that day and neither I heard her and Karan's plan of something" Raghav vented his affliction through disdain for him...but his suspicion was born thousands of queries in other's mind.
"Plan..." the only word slipped through their lips with a surprise. While Karan...he tried to disassemble the muddle...was Raghav created in between.
"What Plan you talking about Raghav???" as he too broke into the confusion.
"That plan you and Kalpi were making...for yourself...by deceiving the families...for your future" Raghav stopped his sentence as he lost his words to speak out...but the mess he just made, he didn't know what reaction he get after that. And as expected he got to see the mixture of disbelief and anger on Karan's face and his voice.
"Idiot...I was talking about mine and Yasmin. Because we were in relationship" his bursted voice was enough to pierce Raghav's heart and mind. He felt numb to react for sometime...when Karan continued "our families not ready for our marriage due to the countries and creed boundaries. But I can't leave Yasmin throughout my life and when I know she is with my child, its my responsibility to care her" he halted with emotions. "That's why I made plan to marry her without anyone's interference...just thought about ourselves. And Kalpi was supporting me" his voice filled with aggression. "But don't know what the hell on earth you think me and Kalpi trying to kidnap Pari for our future...for money. How you think Kalpi and me..." Karan felt disgusted to use the further words. Somewhere Raghav insulted his and Kalpi's relation.
Raghav too felt cringed on his thinking...but the sneer already slipped through his lips, he had only futile explanation to give. "I was just unsecured by your both's proximity..." but his line only raged Karan more widely.
"Ask Sammy is he unsecured by your and Anu's proximity??" Karan sounded in irritated tone. "Then how you was unsecured by mine and Kalpi's proximity?? She is my best friend...my little sister...duffer. And you!!! Haaa" his disbelief his disgust clearly flickered through his words. His unbound anger was oozing out of his gaze.
"I a..m so..rry" Raghav fumbled...as he not found the enough words to divulge his guilt. Fot the first time of her life but Gouri felt ashamed on her own son that day.
"Sorry is not enough word for your mistakes Raghav. You did the crime. If you had any doubt...why don't you ask Kalpana??? Why you put all in mind" she almost uttered in hissing tone...but anyone could feel the moist of her voice. Raghav lowered his head in disgrace...as he gave lifelong ache to his mother...his family.
"I not wanted to hurt her mom..." he mumbled painfully.
"Then what you did now... You broke her completely...Raghav!!!" Gouri retorted back on next moment in plaintive tone...as tears strolled down her eyes. Raghav squeezed his eyes to gulp the surge of emotions in him...as a lone tear escaped through his eyes too feeling his mother's woe. Sammy felt a stab seeing his best buddy's pain. His adhesion for Raghav not let him to zip his lips and he spoke in between.
"He has not completely fault aunty...Raghav told me about his insecurity but I never tell him truth. I thought it may close him with Kalpi...but..." Sammy couldn't conclude his line as he felt condemned, that his one mistake scorched his best friend's every mirth. He only tried to specify the wounded hearts...but before, Gouri cut him into.
"Means he not had brain Sammy to think what is right and what is wrong?? Its not matter what you not told him but what he thought for him?? He only decided to feed his queries...right Raghav" she was shaking in rage. "I warned you...control your anger. It may lose your thinking but you never listened me. Nobody did nothing with you Raghav...that's you who did all this with you. My doubt, my pain, my suffering you only think about you only. Kisi aur dard ki takleef ki na hi tumhe samaz thi...aur na kabhi hogi...and that things make you alone...all your life. You made a child away from her mother. Kalpi may forgive you for this but me never..." the immense chagrin of her heart was exploded in those words.
His heart cut with the sharp blade...as her words came to his ears. "Mom..." he felt, that hatred blocked the floodgate of his emotions...as he not found the way to flow his pain. It was raking spine on his bleeding heart.
The shade of composure was not prevailing on
Sammy Anu Pakhi Raj's heart either. They could feel the agony of his heart...but they couldn't do anything, as Raghav was himself responsible for his ruination.
"I never thought you had that much problem with my closeness with Kalpi...if I had, I never came between you both. At least my Kalpi not lost her smile..." berating him, Karan turned away from Raghav with antipathy. He felt like stood double edged situation where he felt hatred toward Raghav and in other he felt sympathised for him also. Raghav watched him for forgiveness but his turned face only ailed him...when his eyes caught Yasmin. Now he realized what he felt strange in her look. She was looking a new bride...but he felt to notice.
Now her sore eyes also assuming him culpable for his signs.
"You know Raghav I forced Kalpi to accept her feelings for you...but today I feeling like why I forced her. She was always said its good for her and you if she not crossed her boundaries. and really it's good for her if she not did..." and the tears rolled down to her lashes too. Raghav squeezed his lashes to gulp down the rush of his emotions...but the tears breached his barriers.
"you failed in your every relation Raghav...Your one fault made you lose all your relations...that's why I said you, believe your heart...otherwise you never forgive yourself...and look you have no place to hide yourself..." raj too reminded him...his faults. And he was only listening them.
That every acerbity of all them only hurt him...hurt him to the core. It was not that easy to come out him from that agony.
Might be death was more easy for him than the hatred he perceiving from all relations of his. That was the first he was feeling really alone. His heart was craving for the touch of his loved ones to solace him...but no one was there with him. That loneliness realised him what he was bereaved of actually.
Raghav broke down on his knees...the aloofness of Kalpana now was oozing through his sorrowful eyes. He was really sobbed slowly.
That every shots of realization deepened him more ocean of grief...as the flow of his painful deeds now shelling his heart with regrets. His dolour was chinking on other's hearts too...but his audacity made them to turn their face. They couldn't help him with willingness too.
Each every person turned off him with stiffness...except one. Whose little heart also cried with her father. She never saw her papa so helpless...that his own tears too not accompanied of him that day. She felt a pain in her with him.
Pari slide down the Raj's arms and made her way to her father.
"Papa..." she touched his shoulder. Raghav overwhelmed by her touch. He felt more killing to see his daughter's fierce loss. The flow of fresh tears made its way over his cheeks. "Don't cry. If momma knows you was crying. She never forgive me. I promise her...papa, I always care you for her..." she spoke softly.
"You met your momma..." the only line slipped through his lips...as anyhow he wanted to know about Kalpi.
"Yes..." Pari smiled innocently.
Flashback started.
Gouri never thought her eyes got to see that day too...when a ingenuous soul will humiliate in her house so brutally. His own son was pursued the myth without rating the truth. He not even thought about the effect will abide all relations. He only took a decision.
But she couldn't support him. She couldn't keep off a child away from her mother...and after that incident...never.
And with morning... Gouri took Pari to Kalpi...as she knew how a child need her mother.
In Karan's home...
The every damn single minute was perceiving like an edge to her. The relations she always considered as hers was crumbled in one moment. Her dream always to be with the man she loves...her future with all his loved ones...her child everything was just smashed on one moment. She trusted him...but he broke her trust...again. Her every hope her every wish he crushed down his feet. She had nothing in her life except one...with whom she took her steps in his world and now cursing herself that why she entered in his world. That rising sun was giving the testimony of her destruction.
The hope the dreams were died in that moment...only one will was left to see her daughter once. She felt a thrust to take her daughter in her embrace...her heart only craving for her angel.
"Momma..." and she came. Kalpi felt do unbounded with happiness...as her world only aching for this sight. Kalpi kneeled down the floor and embraced her daughter loudly.
"Angel...how is you bachcha??? Momma miss you so much..." her emotions ozzed through her every kiss she was feathering on Pari's cheeks. Pari chortled looking her momma's affection. But the lurked queries came out finally.
"Pari too miss her momma so much. But where you was last night momma?? You know I was so scared. Papa also not there with me..." she diluted her fright to her mother. Her feared face drained Kalpi on every bit. She couldn't see her daughter like this...afraid...staved. She looked at Gouri for answer but only dismay came to her way. Pari's scared was braking her but Kalpi composed herself.
"I am sorry baby...but momma too not wanted to leave you baby...but some circumstances were not in our hand...but I know my baby is strong. She can fight with hard condition...Right" she tried the firm logics to distract her child. But her logic worked on Pari. And little soul emerged with a smile.
"Right..." they HiFi each other. They stayed like that in each other's embrace...until when Pari not broke their trance.
"Momma I know who you are?" kalpi jumped with peril as Raghav told her daughter their last day encounter. Pari's words surprised Gouri too.
"Me?? What you know baby??" she asked quizzically.
"You and papa are my angels...whom my parents sent to care me...hai na" Kalpi's heart bumped with the stress hearing her. As Gouri's state also same...when her eyes met with Kalpi again.
"Your parents..." Kalpi's sound found dumbfounded.
"Ya...they are died na" Pari answered softly.
"Who told you this angel??" might be the stock of surprises not finished for Kalpi yet.
"Choti dadi...she said I am inauspicious. That's why my parents left me and now you and papa are also going to leave me" Kalpi felt a stab in her heart...that how much pain her daughter bore in that hours and she was not there to sustain her. While Gouri felt to slap Kamini for her that sign...when Pari resumed. "But Pakhi aunty said I was angel of my parents and they loved me so much. That's why they sent their angels to love me. So you both are Pari's angel..." Kalpi's emotions turned heavier with her words...as that pain now engulfing her soul. She hugged her angel tightly in her arms.
"I am sorry baby...because of me you have to bear this. I am sorry" Kalpi whispered earnestly wrapping her daughter closed her heart. Pari too now disturbed by her mother's affection. Kalpi moved away to face Pari "look baby...Pakhi aunty is right you are not inauspicious..but you are our heart...my and papa's heart. We love you so much...never thought we leave you because we can't live without you bachcha... " she poured her love to her kid.
"I know momma...and Pari too not live without you" she cupped her mother's face affectionately. All the time Gouri's eyes was peering them from away...as she felt to lose her right on them. She couldn't do anything rather than watched them silently. "Momma... What happens to papa...why he not talking??" but the kid failed to hide her puzzle from Kalpi.
"He upset with me baby" Kalpi responded sadly.
"You was again mistaken momma...then say sorry to him. He will forgive you" Pari interjected with the confidence on her father.
"This time the things are different baby" she paused with strain...as that time it was not her fault. "this time I do not ask for his pardon " she said in her mind.
"Ohh" Pari sighed in understanding as she knew what came to her little brain.
"but I want your help" her mother wanted her help, the words energized her. "I want you to take care of him. Your papa shows him very strong, but I know he is very sensitive. He need someone. But he never say" Kalpi lost in his thoughts some little. A lone tear escaped through her gaze. "I want you always with him to care him. Tum mere liye ye karogi na...Pari. Promise me bachcha.."
"You don't need to do anything for him Kalpana. After this he did with you...he don't deserve Pari either" Gouri came forward with rage for her son. She not liked Kalpi's decision to give Pari to Raghav. "I promise I will give you Pari's custody..."
"I don't need anyone's permission for my daughter's custody...Aunty" Gouri sensed the erratic pain in her voice which perfectly rapped in the aplomb. "but I know Pari need him more than me and he need Pari. Just say him to care of my daughter with full heart.I don't need any more from him.." Kalpi spoke in firm tone.
"Whatever he did with you, you still care of him..." Gouri objected.
"I am not care for him...but doing for my daughter. In this Six and half years I learned how a kid need her father than her mother. I sure Pakhi will give my angel a mother's love. And Raghav he is a best father. Bas I have one request for you... Please take care of my child. Do not punish her for my signs" she uttered her every word feeling a hard stone on her soul...but her words negated Gouri's assumption. And she broke into the guilt.
"What are you saying Kalpi...we did mistake and that's why god giving this punishment to us...my son is very unlucky that he lost you dear...but I not want to lose you..my daughter. I always be your ma Kalpi...don't punish me calling Aunty...please" her eyes pleaded her. Her gesture compelled to pluck the barrage of her locked emotions.
"Ma.." and it broke. Kalpi's all tribulation was sweeping out in her motherly embrace. Kalpi could feel her all pain..her all fears for her daughter was slumping with her flowing tears.
"pari..." she again took Pari in her embrace for last.
"I promise you momma I will take care of everyone with full heart..." Pari promised her mother. Her heart smiled with her daughter's innocence.
"I know baby.I love you Pari...I love you so much..."
"I love you too momma" the little soul too wrapped her hands around her momma's neck...without knowing, now when she will get this embrace again.
Flashback Ended.
Raghav squeezed his eyes tried to grip out the condition he was put all in. His eyes was closed but the crinkle of that thrilling pain was cropped up on his sheds. Kalpi catered one more knot of pain to his agony...which very terrified to handle by him.
He could feel reviling his own soul now...he not only grieved Kalpi...but pulled Pari too on that agony...which now unbearable for him.
Raghav wrapped his hands around Pari and cried and cried hard.
"I am sorry angel... I am sorry. I was failed to play my relations. I not only hurt your momma...but gave you too a biggest pain" he ululated been a penitent "but not more...I will bring her back in your life...in our life... Mai abhi use wapas le ata hu..." Raghav wiped his tears giving the assurance to his angel that he will take back all their happiness. The hope of the new mirth was flipping in his gaze. He knew...it was not that easy...but he will bring her back with his love...and he had to...by anyhow. With the rush of new exciting feelings he stood up on his place...to move his feet toward his love. He was absolutely sure on his effort...that she will surly forgive him.
He placed kiss on Pari's forehead and forwarded his steps with eagerness, fervency and solicitude...when Karan's voice halted him there.
"She is not here...she go back from here..." it was the last sentence Raghav thought to hear. As it shook him to the core.
"No...she can't leave me alone...this way" he uttered in a bleak tone. But before he conclude some more...Karan's question left him in puzzle.
"Why Mr. Singhania?? If you could leave her then she can also..." Raghav had nothing but shot of his signs on him. Before Karan could finish Raghav swept in his flow.
"But...at least she give me one chance of defence..." he felt his thinking numbed for a while.
"You really think that Raghav... did you give her that chance?? Then how you think??" Raghav had no answer of Karan's bitter questions. He just lowered his head gloomily.
"I know I don't have... But I can't lose her...i don't know she will forgive me or not...I don't know where is she?? I only know I need her...I need her throughout my life. I don't know what happens next?? But I bring her back" and he turned to his angel. "angel... I promise you baby...I bring back your mother at any cost. Wait for me baby..." he hugged her and moved towards the exit rapidly...leaving the quizzical faces behind.
The hastiness and fear of losing her now overpowering his mind. Raghav immediately took his phone out and dialed a number. "When Indian flight take off..." he hurled a question on the person on next line. "OK.." And he rushed toward the airport.
Near in 7:45 pm
His car was doing the strife to find its way from a loud traffic of Brooklyn city. Raghav felt that way so long to run. He only wished to reach her...and the destiny not letting him to go. He was combating with his every minute to see her. That was really hardest hour for him.
On moving every second his gazes tried to find of the glimpse of the airport. On every second he was wishing the god to halt her for some while. With every seconds his heart deepened in worries as she not leave him. That every passing moment was pulling him into the whirl of despondence...and the gulitiness more was making his condition more worst.
Whenever his wheels turned, the new range of tears made their out through his barriers. He just waited to see her...and he reached.
Leaving his car in midway Raghav rushed swiftly toward the gate...but the security stopped him in middle. And tried to grip on him as Raghav was moving from their cluthes. It was feeling them hard to stop him...when someone hit hardly on his back.
"Ahhh..." and he winced. When that security man again about to hit him.
"What the hell you doing??" Some head officer stopped him to do his action. "You know who is he???" He snapped. He asked for pardon from Raghav...but he was not in condition to glance him. His eyes only stuck on the gate.
"Please let me go. I have to catch Indian flight" he spoke in saturnine tone. Raghav tried to raise his steps...when the officer aborted him.
"The Indian flight already daparted Sir..." he informed.
A terrible pain he felt in his chest...as his ears refused to hear the words they heard a moment ago. "No...she can't leave me..." he muttered unconsciously without thinking about the surrounding. She left him...the stab was much enough to knife his thinking.
The pain, the despair he was going through, was simply oozing out of his every move. He could
feel a lump in his throat trying
desperately to come up. Raghav shrunk his eyes as he gulped down the surge of emotion in it...but still tear drops slipped through his gazes.
The Raghav Singhania who never bend in front of anyone...that day he knuckled down in front of the whole world for her. He broke down on his knees. Boundaries of inflated pain was breached out through lashes...and the milieu reverberated with her name "Kalpana..."
Maybe that was the end of their story...maybe their ways were met to part from each other. Maybe their story never be together. Or maybe their story was still incomplete.
