SS: Penance...Completed 8/9/14...

He reached the chawl and was shocked to see paakhi with kamla and kalpi...

On seeing Raghav they had stopped their argument..

Paakhi went towards Raghav and with a fake smile plastered onto her face she said," Arey Raghav, tum yaha???"...Raghav thought if he would say he came to meet kalpi then kamla would again create problems so he just blurted out,"I was just passing and saw u here so came"...

Paakhi was happy hearing this and gave a taunting look to kalpi,"Dekha kalpi Raghav mere liye yaha aaya hai"...she thought..

On the other hand RagNa were having their eye-talk...asking each other about their wll being...

Bidding good bye Raghav and Paakhi went from their...

Kamla and kalpi became busy in their cafe work...

Kalpi's phone rings...

Caller: Hello am i speaking to Ms.Kalpana Jadhav??

Kalpi: Yes..

Caller: Ma'am I'm calling from SK constructions...we have your resume and you have been selected for an interview for the post of Marketing Supervisor...The interview is scheduled at     

11 am..

Kalpi: Ok...I'll surely be there...thanks a lot..

The cafe required more funds for expansion and also the household expenses were increasing so kalpi decide to do a job along with cafe work...She told Kamla about the job offer and said that she'll do the accounting work of cafe in the evening...Kamla initially disagreed but on Vitthal and Pakya's insistence she finally agreed..

In Afternoon:

At Raghav's office:

Paakhi calls Raghav to ask whether he's free in the evening for movie...Raghav initially denys but then paakhi says," Raghav we are friends na and anyway i'm really getting bored...please raghav humaare friendship ke liye"...Raghav says,"Paakhi I'm busy sorry"...Paakhi then tries to convince him to come to a nearby restaurant for lunch...on much forcing Raghav agrees...

Raghav and Paakhi come for lunch...coincidentally kalpi too reaches their...

Kalpi's interview was done and she was famished so reached that restaurant...Just when she was about to enter she heard paakhi's voice...

Paakhi saw kalpi near the restaurant and while walking towards the entrance she acted like she's talking on phone with her friend telling that Raghav has brought her on a lunch date and

they'll go to movie after that...

Hearing Paakhi's words kalpi was hurt to the core...she just couldn't bear it any more...

Forgetting about her hunger she just turned and went away...

************************************************************************

The atmosphere was cloudy just as heart...her inner battle was becoming more ferocious with each passing second...her heart trying to believe that Raghav didn't take paakhi on lunch but the battle was being won by the brain which gave all the valid justification convincing kalpi that Raghav didn't really care about her...she was totally broken...she needed a support but noone was with her...

While Kalpi was busy in her own thought process...a black car stopped in front of her...

A handsome guy got down and went towards her...

Guy-You know they say that tears are helpful in cleansing your eyes but yours are already way too clean...

Lifting her head she turned to see the source of the voice...

Guy-Ok fine that was a bad one...so why are u crying...sitting here alone that too so late...

Kalpi looked at her watch...it was 8 pm...she panicked thinking that her family members might be worried...she quickly got up to leave...

Guy- You;ll not get a taxi here...if u want i can drop u..

Kalpi-No thank you..i can walk..

The guy came running towards kalpi and blocked kalpi's way

Kalpi- I said i can go on my own

Guy-of course u can but me being me won't let you to go on your own..trust me i'm a good boy from a good family..i just want to help u..

Kalpi-but I..

"please didi",a voice said...Kalpi turned back to see who it was...A small girl about 5 years old was standing with her hand folded...

Kalpi went towards her and knelt on her kness,"How can i deny such a cute kid"..

Guy- And a handsome guy..

Giving him an annoyed look kalpi and the kid went towards the car...

While on their way,they introduced themselves...

Kid- Didi...what's your name..

Kalpi- Kalpana..yours?
