RagNa Love Stories: RagNa SS: Anyone can fall in love anytime Chapter 4

Raghav enters his room and looks at the mess created by Kalpana. He looks at all his notebooks scattered, the bedsheets and pillows on the ground, the lamp from the table broken adn the table upside down (Raghav loves his privacy and he suffers from OCD and hence when Kalpana entered his room earlier without his permission, he got furious. He likes everything in its place and he himself cleans his room daily, keeps all things in its place and believes a lot in sanitation and so always keeps a sanitizer in his pocket to clean his hands whenever they get dirty. He told Sunaina earlier that Kalpana can enter his room only if she does not mess with his things but Kalpana being Kalpana did the opposite).

Raghav put off the switch of the TV, went near the bed and picked up the broken lamp asking Kalpana for an explanation. Kalpana did not have any answer and was not in a mood to argue with Raghav as she knew that today Raghav would scold her a lot due to the mess she created in his room.

Raghav: Kalpana, this lamp was gifted by my dad last year and you broke it. My notebooks. You scattered all my books on the ground and they are my school books. Now, most of the pages are torn. My bedsheets and pillows are on the floor. You entered my room with those dirty chappals of yours and not only that, you sat on my bed too with those chappals and now threw my bedsheets on the floor, thus making them filthy. I tried to keep my cool all this while and yesterday because of you Sunaina bhabi scolded me. I let you enter my room only because I respect my bhabi but I am not going to let you ruin my things. Look at the mess you have created. These all things are so expensive. A girl like you who lives in a small hut can never even afford to buy these things and now who is going to compensate for this? Answer me. Just answer me.

Kalpana looks at Raghav with a blank face and then points towards the wall. Raghav looks at her and asks her as to what she is pointing at and she shouts "Lizard on the wall. Lizard on the wall." Raghav turns behind and starts paicking immediately and Kalpana quitely runs outside the room before Raghav could realize that she was already out of the room.

Sunaina came to Kalpana's room and told her about Rajeev being in the hospital and that he wants to meet her and Raghav.

Kalpana and Raghav reach the hospital with Sunaina and Kalpana goes inside the room to meet Rajeev.

Rajeev: Kalpu, how are you beta. You ate food?

Kalpana: Dad, I had my food but what happened to you? Why are you in this place? I don't like this place as it gives me a weird feeling. You told me that you are going to the city na.

Rajeev: Sorry beta. I could not tell you that I am sick because I wanted you to stay with Vikram uncle. I knew that you being my Kalpu baccha would not listen to me and be stubborn and force me to make you stay in this hospital. This place is not for children to visit and so I did not tell you anything. I have to tell you something now and I know that you are brave to hear this Kalpu and promise me that you won't cry.

Kalpana: Dad, please tell me what happened? I am brave and I promise you I won't cry at all.

Rajeev: Kalpu, your mom needs me. She called me and need to be with her now as my journey over here is coming to and end. I told you na once that everyone has to leave this world one day and become God's angel? I too have to go Kalpana.

Kalpana: No dad. I need you too and you cannot go anywhere.

Kalpana hugs her dad tightly and starts crying.

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

Raghav, on the other hand, sits in a crner of the hospital thinking about the last time he came to the hospital when his mother was brought there after the accident and then he never got to see his mom alive. (Raghav's mother met with an accident 2 years back and was brought to the same hospital where Rajeev was admitted and she died within an hour in the hospital. Raghav did not even get a chance to talk to his mom before she left the world.) Raghav looks at the hospital and looks at the ward where his mother was admitted and looks inside the room while Sunaina comes there and takes Raghav from there before he feels worse.

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

Rajeev: Kalpu beta, please understand. Nothing is in my hand and it's God's wish. You mom needs me. Do you want her to get angry with me? Please listen to me. You need to stay wiht Vikram from now on and he will be you dad, Sunaina will be your sister and Raghav will be your friend and life-partner. God is calling me but is giving you a new family.

Kalpana disagrees with Rajeev and does not leave him and keeps crying.

Rajeev: Kalpu, you told me that you are a brave girl and you will not cry. You promised me that and now you are not listening to me.

Kalpana stop crying and says: I won't cry dad but you too promise to never leave me.

Rajeev: Beta, I can't promise you as I will have to break that promise. You are my everything and I will always be with you. Whever you look in the sky, you search for the star that shines the most at night and that star will be me. You can talk to me and tell me everything and I will always help you as I will be with God and God always listens to children's prayers.

Rajeev asks Kalpana to bring Raghav in too. Kalpana calls Raghav and Vikram asks Raghav to take care of Kalpana and gives Kalpana's hand in Raghav's hand asking him to make friendship with Kalpana. Raghav comes to know that Rajeev is going to die and leave Kalpana the same way like his own mother left him and agrees to Rajeev.

Rajeev starts breathing heavily and Kalpana gets scared looking at his state. Raghav feels bad at looking at Rajeev's state and goes out of the room.

Rajeev: Please say fast Kalpu beta. Please promise me that you will always be happy and accept Vikram and his family as your family. Please say Kalpu..

Kalpu wipes her tears and agrees to Rajeev. The doctors come in and tell Kalpu to wait outside. After sometime, the doctor tells Vikram that Rajeev is no more. Vikram goes inside the room leaving Kalpu to be taken care by Sunaina.

Raghav looks at Kalpana and feels bad for her and touches her shoulder. Kalpana looks at Raghav and hugs him instantly. Raghav tries to console Kalpana. Kalpana controls her tears and does not cry as Rajeev told her not to do so.

Vikram comes out off the room and tells Sunaina to take the children home.

Kalpana reaches the Singhania house and rushes to her room and closes the door. Raghav too goes to his room.

In the evening, Sunaina gives food to Kalpana and KAlpana unwillingly has the food thinking about her dad with her eyes set at the window. She has the food and then goes and looks in the sky searching for the star shining the most and Raghav too comes in the balcony and looks at Kalpana searching something in the sky.

Raghav: What happend Kalpana? What are you searching for?

Kalpana: My dad. He is up there but I cannot see him.

Raghav: Your dad. Where is he? And how can you see him?

Kalpana: Shush...

Kalpana sees a star shining in the sky and smiles.

Kalpana: There see my dad. The star which is shining the most is my dad. Dad told me that the people who leave this world become stars and now my dad is watching me. The star next to him must be my mom.

Raghav looks up and then at Kalpana and does not say anything.

Kalpana: Raghav, you too look up in the sky. You miss your mom so much na and she must also be a star in the sky. Look out for her.

Raghav: I don't believe in all this. My mom is no more and she has not become any star. It is only shown in movies but it's not reality. People who go from this world just go and are never seen again.

Raghav says this and goes inside his room while Kalpana keeps looking at the sky and wishing her dad and mom good night.

The next day Vikram complete the last rites of Rajeev.

After a few days, Raghav goes to his dad's room to ask for pocket money. He stands outside the room and finds Vikram talking to Sunaina and then decides to leave the room as he thinks his dad may be busy. He accidentally hears Vikram telling Sunaina about his marriage with Kalpana. Raghav goes inside the room and Suaniana and Vikram get shocked to see there.

Vikram: Raghav, you are here? What happened, you did not go to sleep?

Raghav: Dad, what you were just saying. I got married to Kalpana? That day we got married?

Sunaina: Raghav, I will explain you everything.

Vikram: Sunaina wait dear. Raghav, I will tell you everything.

Vikram tells Raghav about the conversation he had with Rajeev that day and tells him the reason for the marriage as well.

Vikram: Raghav, I hope you trust your dad. I have never forced my decisions on you till today and always have taken decision that will benefit you. I and your mom had decided with Rajeev and his wife that we will get you and Kalpana get married when you both will become big but unfortunately Rajeev and his wife are no more and Kalpana is alone in this world. I had to take this decision for her future. I myself don't believe in child marriage and so do not consider your marriage as a marriage but it is only a bond between you and Kalpana. She is a very good girl Raghav and is a perfect partner for you. I don't want to impose any decision upon you nor Kalpana and when you both become 18+, you'll can take the decisions of your life as it's your right. I just want you both to be happy and if you ask me, I want you both to accept this relation when you grow big.

Raghav: I trust you dad. Till today you have always been right and taken the right decisions in your life and I respect you always.

Kalpana gets ready to go to school next day and waits for Raghav. She keeps knocking Raghav's door in a hurry while Raghav is still sleeping. She goes on banging the door and Raghav hears the knock at the door and gets up in a hurry due to which he falls off the bed. Kalpana keeps screaming out his name from outside and Raghav gets up from the floor and walks angrily towards the door.

Raghav opens the door and says in a loud voice: What the hell? Why are you screaming Kalpana? What's your damn problem? You cannot even let me sleep peacefully.

Kalpana gets a shock and says: You have not worn any shirt. Chi! (Kalpana closes her eyes and turns the other way round)

Raghav looks at himself and closes the door fast. He runs and wears a shirt and again opens the door. He notices Kalpana is still standing looking at the opposite side and is closing her eyes.

Raghav: Say, why did you come here and spoil my morning? In any case, whenever you come in front of me, always something wrong happens and today you ruined my day already.

Kalpana: Did you wear your shirt? I do not like to look at shirtless boys and that too in the morning. Ewwww....

Raghav: Kalpana, you forgot this is my house. I can wear anything whatever I want or even roam naked. What's your problem? And FYI, I wore a shirt.

Kalpana turns around and says: What you mean by naked? Means you earlier used to roam like this in the whole house. Chi, you are so shamless and you call me shameless. You are stinking too as you must have not even brushed your teeth. Yuck!

Raghav: Just shut up. Tell me why you came here else get lost.

Kalpana: Oh no! Because of you I am becoming late for school. I came here to call you and you are nicely sleeping.

Raghav: I am not interested in going to school today and especially not with you.

Kalpana: Oh! So you want to bunk school again. Wait, I'll tell Vikram uncle just now. Uncle told me that if Raghav does not lsten to you, just come to me and I will scold him.

Raghav holds Kalpana's hand and says: Wait! No need to tell my dad anything. In any case, the biggest punishment for me is to bear you and I don't want to get scolding also now because of you. Just wait and I'll get ready.

Raghav bangs the door on Kalpana's face. After 15 minutes, Kalpana starts banging the door again calling Raghav to come out soon and Raghav finally opens the door and the driver reaches both to school.

Precap: Kalpana comes to know about her marriage from a school boy...
