Kalpana rushes down the stairs and the store employee
gives her the keys of the scooter. It's a red colored scooty by Hero Honda and
had the latest features, all what Kalpana wanted in her scooty. The employee
started explaning her the features and Kalpana went near the scooty and touched
the front lights. She touched the seat and said "This is so soft. My
scooty had such hard seats. The start button. Oh Wow! The color is so
awesome." She started the scooty and the employee said "Mam, first
you need to sign these papers."
Kalpana signs the papers and then drives off to
experience her brand new scooty ride. She drove drove and drove so far and
thanked Raghav in her mind for giving her the best gift she ever wanted.
Vikram notices the happiness in Kalpana's eyes and
tells Sunaina "So finally Raghav and Kalpana are bonding nicely with each
other."
Sunaina says "Yes dad. Kalpana just told me that
she is feeling for Raghav."
Vikram widens his eyes and says "Really? You
mean to say that she loves him?"
Sunaina says "Yes. She finally has realized what
Raghav means to her. Raghav realized this years back and before leaving for the
hostel, he told me about his love for Kalpana. I am so happy for both dad and
you always wanted her as your daughter-in-law."
Vikram says "Yes. I always wanted her to be
Raghav's wife and my DIL. They are just perfect for each other and I always
considered Kalpi as my own daughter. She is such a cheerful girl and Raghav
also has changed a lot only because of her else he was so arrogant and an
introvert before. Now my only wish is that I become a grandfather before I
close my eyes. Just want to see my Raghav's child once."
Sunaina hears this and feels bad that she could not
give dad the happiness of a grandchild and leaves from there without uttering a
word. Vikram says to himself "Did I say something wrong? Oh God, did my
wish hurt her as she remembered her past? My intention was not to hurt her
but.... Please forgive me beta. I won't ever say this again before her. She has
done so much for this family and she treated Raghav and Kalpana as her own
children but God did not give her any happiness. First Rohit and then their child...I
pray to God to give her all the happiness in her life."
Sunaina goes to her room and takes Rohit's photo in
her hand saying "I am sorry Rohit. I could not give your dad a grandchild
also. He has never told me his pain but I know that somewhere he also feels bad
about the accident. I feel so unlucky sometimes that I could not give any
happiness to my own family."

Raghav murmers in the car "Should I ask or not?
How to ask?"
Sammy overhears Raghav talking to himself and says
"What happened Raghav? Wanna share?"
Raghav says "Err...I wanted to know if you
decided to shift because of the commuting issue or something else?"
Sammy looks at him with a surprise and says
"Yeah! It was the commuting issue only. Why did you feel that it may be
someother reason?"
Raghav says "Hmm...Because I felt that you were
a little upset while leaving and also... I mean Sunaina bhabi and you were
quite friends IMO and when you left, I mean... I found it weird as Sunaina
bhabi always loves welcoming guests and when they leave, she is the first to
ask why and when you left, I don't know what happened. You too looked upset
with her reaction. I felt so but it may be some other reason."
Sammy stops for a second and says "Err...No,
there is nothing between me and Sunaina."
Raghav says "I never said that Sammy but ...Wait
a second, nothing between you and Sunaina? I did not get that."
Sammy says "Please change the topic Raghav and I
did not feel bad about anything but just am shifting due to commuting issues.
Anyways, I have seen that you and Kalpana are coming close. Is it true?"
Raghav smiles and says "Yes. I mean her behavior
towards me has completely changed. She has not yet said anything yet and am
still waiting for a yes."
Sammy says "She will soon. After all, you know
how to woo girls. Remember Samaira?"
Raghav says "Please Sammy. Not Samaira again.
That girl was just...Phew, don't want to think now."

Kalpana waits for Raghav at home and keeps peeping
from her window. She says to herself "Oh God, Raghav is taking so long to
come home. Is he really planning to stay with Sammy? Oh no! Please come home
fast. Want to thank you for the scooter. Please...."
After an hour, Raghav reaches the house and gets into
his room.
Kalpana knocks his door and Raghav opens it with one
hand while he unbuttons his shirt with the other. He looks at her and takes off
his hand from the shirt and asks her to come in.
Kalpana hesitantly looks at the room and then at
Raghav and says "Thanks."
Raghav asks "Thanks for?"
Kalpana says "For the new scooter. I ...I like
it..I mean it's nice...Good...Hero Honda is a really good brand...And I
mean...I love it."
Raghav holds her hand and says "Love what?"
Kalpana looks at him and says in a nervous tone
"The...The scooter."
Raghav says "Oh...I thought you said that you
love me." He winks at her making her blush more.
Kalpana widens her eyes and says "No."
Raghav says "No means you don't."
Kalpana says "No no..I mean no. I was talking
about the scooty only and ..."
Raghav says "Only about the scooty?"
Kalpana clears her throat and says "Yes. Only
the scooty."
Raghav says "At this time? I mean it's 11:00 p.m
and you came to only talk about the scooty?"
Kalpana says "Amm...Yes. You came home so late
so..."
Raghav says "So you were waiting for me?"
Kalpana says "No. Why will I?"
Raghav grabs Kalpana by her waist and says "You
were waiting for me right?"
Kalpana says "Err...No...I was not."
Raghav says "Then look into my eyes and say that
you were not waiting for me."
Kalpana tries to release herself but Raghav pulls her
closer asking the same question.
Kalpana looks into his eyes and says "I was
not...OK I was waiting but only to thank you for the scooter."
Raghav goes closer and whispers in her ear "It
was a gift for Karva Chauth and so no need to thank me. You kept a fast for me
and I had to gift you something anyways."
Kalpana feels shy and says "I did not fast for
you."
Raghav says "You did and telling so many lies in
a day is not good. When you lie, you start fumbling and now you are fumbling,
means your are lying."
Kalpana looks at him and says "OK fine. I kept a
fast for you but only because you were sick that day."
Raghav says "Means you care for me, right?"
Kalpana does not say anything and smiles. They keep
staring at each other and Raghav says "I love you."
Kalpana looks down and Raghav brings her closer and
says "Do you?"
Kalpana smiles and looks at the time saying
"It's too late. I need to go to sleep as tomorrow there is lot of work in
the office."
Raghav says "Then go to sleep. There's my bed.
You can change and we can..."
Kalpana interrupts him saying "No. I am going to
sleep in my room and you should in your room." She gives him a smile and
bids him good bye. Before leaving the room, she turns behind when she hears
Raghav say "My goodbye kiss?"
Kalpana goes near him, gives him a kiss on his cheek
and runs away laughing.
Raghav says to himself "Wow! My first good night
kiss. Ummm...One day, I will convince you to share this room as well. You're my
wife and husband and wife need to stay together only na? I love you so
much."
Precap: Raghav and Kalpana arrange a dinner date for
Sammy and Sunaina...
