Kalpana and Raghav keep dancing and the guests keep applauding them for their performance. Kalpana breaks the hug and Raghav starts caressing her face and she closes her eyes. She goes closer to him and opens her eyes when she hears a glass fall. She looks to her right an notices that a guest had dropped his glass and she realizes that she is standing so close to Raghav and they were just second away from sharing a kiss.
Kalpana looks at Raghav, flushing with embarassment,
she releases her hand from his arms and stands straight and adjusts her sari.
Raghav winks at her and she raises her eye brow thinking what happened in these
3 minutes. She had just lost herself and had been so engrossed in Raghav that
she actually forgot she was actually dancing.
********************
Sunaina stands silently hearing the song and Sammy
comes near her playing the guitar in his hands and reciting the words of the
song. He smiles and at and as he approaches her, she takes a step behind. She
moves closer and extends his hand asking her to dance with him but Sunaina does
not give her hand and instead walks out.
Sunaina searches for Raghav and Kalpana outside the
restaurant and asks the staff member for the disco band but before he is able
to answer her, Sammy comes out and tries to talk to her. She ignores him and
leaves the restaurant.
Sammy says "Sunaina, please wait. Please listen
to me once."
Sunaina says "What do you want Sammy? I told you
that day that we cannot be friends and there can be nothing between us."
Sammy says "Don't misunderstand Sammy. I just
wanted to cheer you up. I agree that I have a soft corner for you and I am not
ashamed of my feelings. What I feel, I say but I never wanted to hurt
you."
Sunaina says "it's not right Sammy. There are
some people from our own village here who are Prem's friends and what they will
feel about me. They saw that you were singing the song for me, and I mean....
There has already so many things said about me and my family Sammy and now I
just do not want anyone to make up stories about me and you. You are a nice
person and because of me, if your name is affected... and plus Raghav and his
fashion show. I just don't know what ..."
Sammy interrupts her saying "What did they say
about you? Tell me who said anything about you. I won't leave him."
Sunaina holds his hand and says "Please don't
over react Sammy and why do you want to create a scene?"
Sammy says "Because I can't bear if anyone says
anything about you. I love you Sunaina and you mean a lot to me."
Sunaina looks at him with a surprise and cries saying
"Please don't say anything more..."
Sammy holds her hand saying "Why Sunaina? What's
wrong in our relationship? I know somewhere that you too like me else you would
have not said that you can't hear bad things about me. Please Sunaina, give
this relationship a chance."
Sammy goes on his knees and says "Please marry
me Sunaina. I love you and I will give you all the happiness in life, I
promise."
Sunaina looks confused at him...
**********
Kalpana looks around and smiles as people
congratulate them for their amazing dance.
After sometime, they both leave from there and stop
when they see Sammy proposing to Sunaina.
Kalpana gets shocked to see Sunaina not responding to
Sammy's proposal and thinks to intervene. Raghav tries to stop her but she does
not hear his words and says "Bhabi, bhabi please say Yes."
Sunaina gets shocked to see Raghav and Kalpana.
Raghav comes in front and looks at Sammy and then at Sunaina.
Sammy gets up and says "They already knew about
us Sunaina."
Sunaina looks questioningly at Sammy and he says
"I won't hide anything from you. It was Raghav's idea to arrange this
date...I mean dinner for us and today is not my birthday."
Raghav closes his eyes getting angry with Sammy for
revealing the truth while Sunaina looks angrily at them.
Kalpana says "Bhabi, I din't know of this plan
but Raghav told me everything just half an hour back. I too want you both to be
together."
Suanina widens her eyes and gets frustrated on
hearing this. Raghav holds Kalpi's hands stopping her from talking more but
Kalpana releases her hand saying "No Raghav. Don't stop me. Bhabi, I
believe that you are my mom as you have always treated me like a daughter. I
have a right to say what I want as well. I want you and Sammy bhaiya to be
together. I know that you won't tell what you feel but I have seen you crying
when you see your marriage outfit. That day during Karva chauth also I saw you
taking out the dress and crying. Why do you want to hurt yourself so much
bhabi? Sammy is a very good human being and he will be the best partner for
you. I know I have no right to force you but at least think over it. You have
tried so much to bring me and Raghav close and what about you bhabi? Why don't
you think about yourself? You have a right to live and you have an identity of
your own. Please bhabi."
For few moments, all stay silent and Kalpana waits
for Sunaina's response.
Sunaina wipes her tears saying "Let's
leave." Kalpana tries to stop her but she instead enters the back seat of
the car and looks at Raghav to start driving.
They drive back home and before leaving, Raghav
assures Sammy that he will handle everything.
In the night, Kalpana knocks Raghav's door. He opens
the door and she hugs him saying "Raghav, I want to sleep in your room
today."
Raghav asks "Why are you crying Kalpi? What
happened?"
Kalpana says "Don't ask me anything now Raghav? Please..."
Raghav made Kalpana to lie down on the bed, places
her head gently on the pillow and caressed her forehead. "You're OK? Are
you getting pain in your head due to the dance? What happened, please
tell."
Kalpana keeps crying and does not say anything.
Raghav wipes her tears and gives her a peck on her forehead saying "OK. If
you don't want to say anything, I won't force you. Go to sleep." He lies
down besides her and keeps consoling her.
Kalpana holds Raghav's shirt and rests her head on
his chest. "Will bhabi not talk to me anymore?"
Raghav looks at her and asks "Why? Did she say
anything now?"
Kalpana nods her head in a refusal and says "But
I guess she is upset with me. I should have not said those words to her. She
has never forced me to do anything till now but today I crossed all limits... I
don't want her to hate me..." She starts crying and hides her face in
Raghav's chest.
Raghav says "Please, dtop crying Kalpi and bhabi
will never hate you. She loves you a lot. You are her baby and whatever you
said was not completely wrong. You care for her like I do. She must be upset
with us because we lied to her but I am sure she will forgive us. Bhabi is such
a woman who forgives her enemies also and she never keeps anything in her
heart."
Kalpana raises her head and says "Are you sure
bhabi will forgive me? I can bear anything but not bhabi's ignorance."
Raghav smiles and wipes her tears saying "Yes,
she will and now stop crying. She does not like tears in her Kalpi baby's eyes.
If she sees you crying, she will surely get angry."
Kalpana wipes her tears and gets up with a smile
saying "Thanks. Now I feel better. I never wanted bhabi to get angry with
me and so was feeling low."
Kalpana gets off the bed and Raghav holds her hand
saying "What? Where are you going?"
Kalpana looks at him saying "Where else? To my
room."
Raghav says "You few minutes back said you want
to sleep here and now...."
Kalpana says "I just wanted your assurance that
bhabi is not angry with me and now I am OK so am going to my room."
Raghav grabs her hand and she falls on the bed. He
holds both her hands and she starts breathing heavily and says "What are
you doing?"
Raghav says "That what a husband should do with
his wife."
Kalpana widens her eyes saying "What? No....no
please Raghav...Let me go." she shuts her eyes and Raghav leaves her hand
and places a blanket on her saying "Now go to sleep here. I am putting off
the light.
She tries to get up but he places his hand around her
stomach. "Please let me go..." "Shushhh....go to sleep and let
me sleep...." "Ragh...." "Shusshhhh....No sound..."
The next morning, Kalpana tries to get up but notices
Raghav hand is still holding her stomach. She slowly removes the hand and he
wakes up with a jerk. He grabs her by her stomach in a reflex action adn she
lands under him. He whispers in her ear "So, how was the night?"
"Hmmm...Good...Now let me go." "One kiss before you go."
"No...No Rag..." "Only one" "No..." "Please,
else I won't let you go. You decide." "OK fine just one..." She
kisses him on his cheek and tries to get up. He pushes her back and says "Not
on the cheek." He points to his lips and she turns her face saying
"No..." "OK fine. Remain her all day and night. You know how
stubborn I am. I can remain her for hours and hours..." After a minute,
she looks at him and gives him a small pack on his lips and pushes him. He
falls on the ground and says "What? I did not even feel anything."
"But I did what you told me. If you are stubborn, I am smart. Now I am
going." She rushes out of the room laughing and Raghav hits his head
saying "She is so naughty. Just throws me down the bed. Oh God, what will
she do when she comes and permanently stays in my room? Can't imagine. Ouch, my
back. Can't even get up. Kalpi, I won't leave you..."
Kalpana brushes her teeth fast and gets ready to go
to college. She runs down the stairs and enters the kitchen. She hugs Sunaina
from behind and says "Bhabi, good morning. what are you making? Wow! Bread
pudding. My favorite. Yummmy!!!" She kisses her on her cheek and says
"I love you."
Sunaina does not reply and removes her hand. She
takes the pudding from the oven and places it on a plate. She goes out and
Kalpi keeps calling her but she does not say anything. Kalpana follows her to
the dining table saying "Bhabi. Please forgive me. I am sorry." She
holds her ears and makes a puppy face. Sunaina looks at her innocent face and
gives her a small slap on her face saying "Mad girl." She smiles and
says "When I was not angry with you, why are you asking for an apology?"
"Means, you are not angry with me?" "No, I am not."
"Oh bhabi! I love you." Kalpana hugs Sunaina.
