Kalpana enters her room. She hides her head in the
pillow feeling shy of the moments she spent with Raghav. "I was so wrong
to think Raghav is like other boys. He thinks so much about me and his family.
And he said that he loves me. That night we spent in that shed was the most
beautiful night of my life. Me and Raghav so close made me feel so special. He
has been such a good friend of mine earlier and I only misunderstood him when
he kissed me years back. May be I was not ready for it and yeah, I was just 12
so being in a relationship at such a
young age was not right as well. I was so immature all this while but now I
should soon tell him that I love him too. Why did I take so much time to
realize that I too like him or may be love him? I was so rude to that doctor as
well when she was just telling me the truth. I should say sorry to her."
Kalpana calls up the psychiatrist and says
"Hello doc. This is Kalpana."
The call gets disconnected.
Kalpana tries calling again and says "Doc, the
call got disconnected. Sorry for calling you up at this time but..."
The call again gets disconnected.
Kalpana thinks "Why is the call getting
disconnected all the time or is she disconnecting the call on hearing my voice.
Huh! That's so rude and I was right, she is a psycho. Can't once talk to me as
if I was rude to her earlier. Or was I rude? Yeah, may be so what? I am young
but she is matured enough to forgive me na. These doctors have so much
attitude. Let it be, I'll message her and apologize for my mistake."
The next morning, Kalpana keeps waiting for Raghav at
the breakfast table. As usual, Raghav wakes up late and arrives after 15
minutes at the table. He watches Kalpana smile at him while walking down the
stairs and bids her good morning while sitting down.
Vikram says "Raghav, so how much work is
pending?"
Raghav says "Not much dad. I have finalized the
models and Manish is working on the jewelry the models needs to wear today. And
yeah, Kalpana, have you finalized your designs?"
Kalpana keeps staring at him and misses hearing his
question.
Raghav looks at her and smiles. He snaps his fingers
which breaks her trance and she says "Aahh.. What happened? Were you
asking me something?"
Sunaina and Vikram start laughing on hearing this and
Kalpana smirks. Raghav repeats the question to which Kalpana says "Yes. I
am almost done. I went yesterday to the office for an hour and Manish told me
that the work was perfect. Today when the models come, I have just to check the
fitting and finalize their look."
Raghav says "Good!"
Sunaina says "Now guys, please stop discussing
about work on the breakfast table."
Kalpana takes out a fork and starts eating the
omelette. Raghav kicks Kalpana's leg and she jerks. Sunaina asks if she is OK
to which she smiles indicating everything's fine.
Kalpana widens her eyes and looks at Raghav asking
him why did he kick her. He points to her lip and she blushes thinking he is
asking for a kiss. He keeps pointing to his lips and then to her lips but she
does not get the signal.
Sunaina notices their silent interactions and looks
at Kalpana noticing the omelette piece stuck on her lip. She tells Kalpana
about the same and Kalpana wipes it off. She smiles at Raghav and then thinks
"Kalpi, aren't you thinking too much nowadays. Raghav was talking about
the omelette piece and you were thinking ...Leave it."
Raghav winks at her and says "So now
college?"
Kalpana says "Means?"
Raghav says "Now, you will go to college
right?"
Kalpana says "Yeah! Yeah, obviously."
Raghav says "Hmmm...I'll drop you."
Kalpana says "Ahh...No, I'll go one my
own."
Kalpana wipes her hands and rushes out, takes her
scooty and drives to college.
Kalpana searches for Priya in the college and finds
her talking to Sushant (the same boy who once Kalpana had scared a life out of
him, threatening him with a toy gun). Noticing Kalpana approaching them,
Sushant hides behind Priya.
Kalpana says "Priya, what's Sushant doing here?
And why is he hiding? Sushant. Sushant, please come out. I won't eat you up. I
have already had my breakfast." And she laughs saying this.
A trembling Sushant looks at Kalpana and slowly
stands beside Priya.
Priya looks at Sushant's nervousness and places her
hand on his shoulder, making him feel relaxed and says "Kalps, me and
Sushant are in a relationship."
Kalpana's eyes pop out hearing this and she says
loudly "What?"
Priya notices all the college students looking at
them due to Kalpana's sudden outburst and takes her in a corner saying
"Kalps, that day in the college reunion party, when you left I an Sushant
started dancing. I mean he is so sweet and innocent. He is just a bit coward
(Sushant looks at her in a surprise and she blinks trying to make him
understand). He is really a very good boy and I feel for him. I know he winked
at you that day but it was his tiny winy mistake. Please forgive him."
Kalpana looks in disbelief at Priya and then turns to
confront Sushant who puts his head down getting scared of her reaction.
"So you are dating my best friend." He nods his head in a refusal
first and then approves it. "Hmmm...Do you like her?" He shakes his
head in an agreement. "OK, I forgive you for what you did but remember one
thing, I am watching you and if you hurt or misbehave with any other girl or
even Priya then like last time, it won't be a toy gun. You got that?"
Priya says "Kalpi." Kalpana stops her with her hand and Sushant says
"I love Priya and will always only look at her and will never ever repeat
the mistake. I am sorry." Kalpana says "It's OK." She hits his
shoulder saying" Now cheer up bud. Since you are Priya's friend, you are
my friend too." Sushant smiles and Priya gets shocked on seeing the change
in her.
After sometime, Kalpana tells Priya that she has
started feeling for Raghav and Priya wishes her luck for the new beginning to
her relationship.
***
Kalpana reaches the office and starts working on the
dresses and instructs the employees to make the changes in the fitting.
She walks out towards Manish's room with a file in
her hand when a hand grabs her in. She looks in disbelief at Raghav and Raghav
places his hand on her mouth stopping her from saying anything.
Raghav removes his hand saying "Why did you take
so long to come to office?" He wraps his hand aroudn her neck and lifts up
her chin to face him.
Kalpana looks at him and says "I had an extra
lecture in college."
Raghav puts the strand of hair behind her ear saying
"Hmm..Extra lecture? I too want to give you one lecture from my end."
Kalpana says "Means?"
Raghav grabs her hand and pins her to the wall saying
"The lecture that every husband gives his wife."
Kalpana blushes and Raghav continues saying "I
want you to wear the bridal outfit that you tried that day."
Kalpana widens her eyes and says "How did you
come to know that I tried the outfit?"
Raghav takes out his phone and shows her the picture.
Kalpana grabs his mobile and says "You were clicking pictures of
mine?"
Raghav says "Yes. And I loved you in that dress.
I want you to wear this outfit and walk the ramp."
Kalpana pushes him behind and says "Grrr....You
are so bad Raghav. You clicked my pictures without letting me know. You are
just ...just..."
Raghav says "Just what? And what wrong did I do
by clicking my wife's pictures?"
Kalpana looks at him angrily "Oh yeah, you did
nothing wrong. It was me who thought that you were not like those boys. In
fact, you are worse than them. Clicking pictures of girls quietly."
Raghav says "I can't believe this. Just now you
were smiling and now you are on fire. Are all wifes the same?"
Kalpana says "All boys are the same. Cheapos.
That day also in the shed, you tried to take chance and kiss me saying that you
are saving me from the snake."
Raghav says "First of all, I am your husband and
not any boy and secondly, I protected you from that snake and he was almost
going to bite me. I was not dying to kiss you. And after that, you came near me
and you started kissing me. What was that?"
Kalpana says "What? I started kissing you, it
was you who started it and yuck, you are so disgusting."
Raghav says "OK, I am disgusting. Fine, I was
the one who kissed you. Kiss me back and let's finish it off here."
Kalpana widens her eyes saying "What?"
Raghav says "What what? Kiss me back and that's
it. Neither I will try getting close to you nor you will try getting close to
me. Why? Do you not wanting to finish this matter or should I say you enjoyed
the kiss."
Kalpana says "No, I hated the kiss. You want me
to kiss you, right? OK fine." She goes near him and kisses him. She breaks
it in a second and says "Here it's over."
Raghav looks surprisingly at her and at the door.
They both notice Manish standing shocked at the door and he excuses himself and
leaves. Kalpana looks at Raghav "This is all because of you. Now what will
Manish sir think of me."
Raghav says "Because of me? You kissed me."
Kalpana says "OH leave it. I have to give him
this life and you..."
She leaves the room and knocks Manish's cabin. She
gives him the file and he does not say anything except thanks and tells her
that her work is over and she can leave.
While leaving the office, Raghav holds Kalpana's hand
and tells her to bring Sunaina to the Lazaania restaurant at 7:30 p.m. and
before she asks any question, he tells her that he will explain her everything
in the restaurant itself.
Raghav reaches the restaurant with Sammy and Kalpana
brings Sunaina to the same restaurant.
Precap: Kalpana and Raghav share some moments in the
restaurant while Sammy and Sunaina start interacting with each other...
