Kalpana
starts laughing loudly and says "Else you would not be able to show your
face to anyone. Haha!"
Raghav
leans towards her and snaps "Still you are trying to laugh? Wait now.
Today I'm not going to leave you at all."
Kalpana
makes a puppy face saying "Please...Sorry." Raghav cools down and
gives her a peck on the lips saying "I want to scold you so much but
always I fail in doing so. My love overpowers my anger. I love you so
much." They both hug each other and spend the night in each other's arms.
The
next morning, the couples pack their bags to leave the hotel.
Kalpana
decides to visit Bunty before leaving and they go to Institut Curie and ask the
nurse for the patient named Bunty and the nurse informs them that Bunty expired
yesterday. The parents are currently completing the formalities.
This
news comes as a shocker to Kalpana and Raghav tries to console her.
Kalpana
sits on a chair and keeps crying. "Why did God take such an innocent soul
Raghav? The boy was only 7 years old. He dint even get to see the world till
now and God dint give him a chance to live."
She
holds Raghav's shirt and keeps crying her heart out. Raghav says "Kalpi,
nobody can go against God's wish. That boy was full of life and he had to face
so much in his lifetime. It's so unfortunate that he lost his life at such an
early age. But we'll pray for him Kalpi. Our prayers will always be with him.
After
few moments, Kalpana and Raghav compose themselves and go to meet Bunty's
parents along with Sammy and Sunaina.
Kalpana
meets the mother who was looking at her son's body with sorrow and hoping that
he opens his eyes and talks to her. She keeps caressing his head and pampering
him. Khushi did not know what do tell her as this wasn't the moment to speak
anything.
Raghav
sits near the father and the father says "We got to know about his tumor 2
months back and doctor's said that it will cost us over 90 lacs. After selling
our property and gold, we managed to just get 45 lacs and after borrowing money
from friends and family, we got the required amount 2 weeks back and came to
Paris for the treatment. When we came to this hospital, Bunty was feeling well
and the doctor took his tests. We knew that he had very less time to live as he
was at the last stage of Brain Tumor. The first 3 days Bunty was feeling much
better and the doctor said that it's a good sign but the next day he started
getting too much pain. The doctors tried their best but it was too late as his
organs started failing and yesterday night he..."
After
few hours, Bunty's father gives a friendship band to Kalpana and says
"This band Bunty said to give you before losing consciousness and he has
written your nickname on this band. He had bought these bands from Mumbai and
he has written all his friends' names on the bands."
Kalpana
takes the band and kisses it. She keeps crying and rests her head on Ragahv's
shoulder while Sunaina tries to console Bunty's mother.
After
completing the formalities, the parents and the couples leave the hospital
taking Bunty's body in the ambulance. Raghav and Kalpana leave for Mumbai while
Sammy and Sunaina catch a connecting flight and leave for London.
LONDON...
Months
pass by and Sunaina and Sammy adopt twins (a boy and a girl) from the
orphanage. They name their children "Rohit" and "Sapna".
Sunaina keeps in touch with Kalpana, Vikram and Raghav and they have a video
chat almost every week.
INDIA...
Raghav
gives Kalpana a glass of banana milkshake and asks "How is it? Better than
the earlier one right?"
Kalpana
says in a disinterested tone "Hmmm...OK but the glass is not washed
properly and yeah the better one tasted sour so this one is good enough. Go get
me another drink and please make it fast. Wash the glass well. Last time you
took 10 minutes and now please give me in 5 minutes. My baby can't wait for so
long."
"Ok
madame. This waiter cum husband is always at your service." Raghav goes
inside the kitchen and feels exhausted as he had prepared 5 glasses of
milkshake till now but Kalpi kept finding faults in it.
The
first drink was rejected as it contained less milk and more bananas. The second
one was rejected as it dint have sugar added in it. The third one was rejected
as Raghav added more water by mistake. The fourth one got rejected as the
bananas weren't ripe enough and it made the drink sour in taste and the fifth
one was rejected as Raghav did not wash the glass due to stress.
Raghav
finally prepares the drink and serves it to Kalpana. "Baby, this one is
fine? I washed the glass thrice this time. I added more milk and less ripe
bananas, sugar is as per your taste and I added my love as well which is
unlimited. I'm sure our baby too will love it."
"Hmm...It's
good but..." Raghav sits straight and starts getting nervous
"But?"
"But
why don't you share a sip with me Raghav?" Raghav finally relaxes and they
both share the drink. Raghav caresses her womb and says "Just one month
more child. then your momma will be fine and me too..." He bites his
tongue and Kalpana hits him on his chest. They both hug each other and keep
counting the days left for the delivery.
A month
passes by...
Kalpana
starts getting labor pain and starts panicking in the hospital. Raghav keeps
running from one place to another to call the doctor who tells him to keep
patience as what Kalpana is experiencing is normal.
"Baby,
how are you feeling now?"
"This
is the 50th time you have asked me this question and if you do it again, I'll
surely file for a divorce. Did you call the doctor? A..AAAA...It's paining.
Call the doctor Aaa....fast. I want the baby out as this pain is
terr....terrible. A....."
Raghav
tries to console Kalpana but she hits him on the hand and screams "Call
the doctor?" She keeps holding her stomach and moving on the bed. Vikram
tries to calm her down saying that she needs to relax but she doesn't listen to
anyone.
"Rag....AA...
What are you doing below my bed? Just come out. Aa...."
"Baby,
I was searching for the milk bottle's cap. It fell down and..."
"You
idiot. The baby is not born yet and you are worried about the milk bottle? If
you don't call the doctor now then I an the baby, both will be no more and then
you keep drinking from the milk bottle."
