A few
months later...
Kalpana
tries wearing a dress she had bought from Paris but she finds it tight. She is
determined that she will get into the dress come what may and she tries pulling
it down and it tears from behind.
Raghav
starts laughing as Kalpana starts crying and he says "Poor dress. It's
last day was today. When you know that you have become fat, why did you even
try it Kalpi?"
"Urghhh...Just
shut up Raghav. Don't make fun of me. I became fat because I gave birth to your
son." She looks at herself in the mirror "My hands, my stomach, my
legs..Grr..All look so fat."
She
looks at Raghav who keeps taunting her and bitching about her to Bunty. She
goes near him and says "You both stop laughing at me. And you Raghav,
don't you think that you will never become fat. This hair of yours will soon
disappear as years pass by and this stomach of yours which you use to fill your
stomach with samosas, parathas and all types of junk food will soon start
bulging out."
Raghav
looks at his hair and imagines himself bald and Bunty starts laughing in his
arms.
After 2
years, Kalpana celebrates her 25th Birthday.
Raghav
gives her 25 gifts on her birthday. Kalpana feels excited and starts opening
each gift.
The
first gift is a book on "How to make your husband happy in 100 ways
(Version 2)"?
Kalpana
stares angrily at Raghav and he clenches his jaws saying "Baby, the author
release a new version recently and so I thought to buy..." Kalpana snaps
saying "That author himself needs to make his wife happy else he will keep
releasing such crap books."
She opens the second gift and notices it is a small pillow. Raghav says "Baby, you always take away the pillow from my head saying that your pillow is hard and so I gifted you this." Kalpana takes a deep breath and keeps opening the other gifts.
The
other gifts make Kalpana more irritated as Raghav buys her a weight machine to
check her constantly increasing weight, aging cream to reduce her wrinkles,
hair dye, an over sized dress, John Abraham's picture with Kalpana wherein she
is tying Rakhi for him, few pictures of her childhood which he had captured her
unawares and finally she opens the last gift and says in a frustrated tone
"Thank God this is the last gift. Let's see what more crap you bought for
me Raghav."
She
opens it and says with a smile "Finally, a true gift for me. A SHAVING
CREAM." Raghav looks astonished and grabs the gift from her hand saying
"Sorry baby. this gift was for me."
Kalpana
looks away and says "You dint bring even one useful gift for me
Raghav."
"I
bought sweetheart." Saying this Raghav goes on his knees and slides a
diamond ring in her finger saying "A diamond for my diamond." Both
hug each other and celebrate the moment.
8 years
later...
Kalpana
feeds Raghav with a piece of cake as both celebrate their 25th Marriage
anniversary on the terrace.
They
both hug each other and Raghav says "This was the day when we got married
25 years back. You were 8 and I was 12. Can't image that so many years passed
by and today you are 33 and I am 37."
"Hmm...And
our son is 10 years old. He is so naughty." Kalpana says while resting her
head on Raghav's chest.
"Look
who's talking. He is gone on his mom only. He keeps scaring the other boys with
that toy gun of yours. He is a complete prankster."
"Ahhahhha...As
if I have brought him up alone. Hello Mr. Raghav. Your son has your traits too.
He keeps clicking pictures of girls from the digital camera that you gifted him
last year. Totally a flirt like you."
Raghav
folds his hands across his chest and says "But he's more like you.
Remember that day how he threw a bucket of water on Priya's son this Holi. It
was your prank that you played on me. He is like you."
"Enough
Raghav. Your son is like you. He keeps getting scared of Lizards too..."
They
both start arguing and it starts raining. They rush inside the house and
Kalpana holds her sari and wraps it around her arms. Raghav notices that she is
feeling cold and he hugs her to make her feel warm saying "See, the rain
also does not like us fighting always and hence it came at the correct
time."
Kalpana
removes his hand saying "Let it be. You always keep taunting me and making
fun of me."
Raghav
hits his forehead on hers saying "Now at least stop fighting Kalpana. OK
fine. Our son is like both of us and that's why we love him so much. He is as
cute of my Kalpi and as handsome like me. Now all OK?"
"Hmm...That's
better."
15
years pass by and the family prepare for Bunty aka Aakash's wedding with
Nandini (Pam's daughter).
Kalpana
dresses up in a red and golden sari and finds flowers to put in her hair.
Raghav
comes from behind and places a small rose is her hair and kisses her shoulders
while hugging her.
"Today
also my wife can beat any young girl." He says while kissing her on the
cheek.
"Hmmm...After
all I'm the best Raghav. I look more pretty than the bride also."
"Offo Kalpi. Today at least talk nicely
to Nandini. She's a sweet girl."
"Huh sweet! Of all the girls in the world, you got only that idiotic Pam's daughter for my son? You forgot how much she insulted me that day during the fashion show preparation?"
Raghav
caresses Kalpana's shoulders and says "That's such a old talk Kalpana. She
and her husband are good friends of mine and both Aakash and Nandini love each
other. You dint see the love for her in Aakash's eyes?"
"That's
why I agreed for the marriage but still I hate Pam. Especially when she holds
your hand and tries to be over friendly with you and you also start flirting
with her. I just get so irritated."
"My
jealous wife. Now I'm a 52 year old man and too old to flirt with anyone. We
just have fun." He hugs her tight and says "My one and only love is
you and nobody else."
"Hmm...That's
right. Now you don't look that charming as well that any woman would flirt with
you."
Raghav
snaps and says "What...I still look dashing and handsome Kalpi. You can
ask anyone out here." Kalpana laughs at him and leaves the place leaving a
confused Raghav looking at his face in the mirror and he asks questions
"Do I look so old that no girl would flirt with me? I only have few white
hair and my body is fit and fine. Urghhh! Kalpi always likes to pull my
leg."
Raghav follows Kalpana and they both complete the wedding customs.
10
years pass by and Raghav and Kalpana celebrate their 50th marriage anniversary
alone at home.
Raghav
feeds Kalpana with a piece of cake and they both share their old memories while
sitting on the bed and staring at the stars outside.
"One
day, I'll also become a star Raghav."
"Shushh!
Why are you saying that? You'll never leave me and go. You got that?"
Kalpana
smiles while a tear drops from her eyes. She hugs Raghav and says "Now
what's left in our life Raghav? Our son got his own 2 children. Sunaina and
Sammy have also become grandparents. Vikram dad left us last year and went to
sleep forever. Soon we'll also..."
Raghav
places his fingers on her lips saying "No...Don't say this. There is so
much left in our life Kalpi. You have to fight with me. Play pranks with me and
then I have to start arguing with you and then say Sorry as well."
Kalpana
laughs and says "Now I'm 58 Raghav. It's not my age to play pranks."
"Hmm..Good
you realized that you have become an old lady. Suhana still looks better than
you."
"Oh
don't take her name. She is still searching for her Mr. right whom she has not
got until today. She wears false teeth as all her teeth have fallen down."
Saying this Kalpana starts laughing and continues saying "But one thing I
said right about you Raghav. Your hair has already started falling and you got
a big belly ponge as well."
"Yeah!
And you are still as fat as ever. You still keep trying those old dresses
checking if you can fit into them." Kalpana hits him as he keeps laughing
and they both continue their cute fights and live happily ever after....
