Kalpana's hand gets burnt and Raghav kneels down and
takes Kalpana hand in his hand and tries to sooth her pain and giving it relief
while Kalpana keeps crying.
Raghav: Kalpana, will you stop crying? Your pain will
increase. Just stop crying and do not touch your wound.
Kalpana: When I am hurt also you want to scold me?
Raghav: You need to divert your mind from this wound
but whom am I talking to, a girl who does not understand anything?
Kalpana: What do you mean? Ouch!
Raghav: I told you na to stop touching your wound.
Sunaina comes in and Raghav and Sunaina take Kalpana
to her room and Sunaina applies cream on Kalpana's wound. Kalpana screams with
pain and starts holding the bed sheet tightly. Raghav notices this and holds
Kalpana's hand tightly and tries to console her. Kalpana is happy to see the
concern for her in Raghav's eyes.
After few hours Raghav keeps thinking about how
Kalpana saved him today from getting burnt and feels bad about his rude
behavior towards her as he always though that Kalpana only loves to make fun of
him and is like the other village people who are selfish and money minded.
Sunaina goes to Raghav's room as she noticed the softness in Raghav's eyes and
the pain when Kapana was crying due to her wound.
Sunaina: Raghav, are you fine?
Raghav: Yes
bhabi. But why are you asking. Kalpana got hurt and not me.
Sunaina: That's why I am asking. Kalpana got hurt and
I can see that you are in pain.
Raghav: No bhabi. Why will I feel for Kalpana. I
don't like her. She is always playing pranks on me. So childish.
Sunaina laughs and says: Raghav, Kalpana is a child
so she will be childish only na. You are a big boy but she is not and I have
noticed that you also are seeing a friend in her.
Raghav: Me and friends with that Kalpana. No, never.
Sunaina: Why? You don't like to have any friends but
you definitely need to open up. Kalpana is so cute. She too wants to make
friends with you.
Raghav: What? She said that she wants to be my
friend? Did she say that?
Sunaina: She did not say that but she surely wants to
be your friend and cares for you. Today after you left her room, she asked me
why you were feeling bad. She cares for you as a friend. You should go and try
to bridge the gap between you both. Think about it and the rest is up to you.
Raghav thinks about Sunaina's suggestion and also
feels that she is right. He waits the whole night and in the morning, he goes
towards Kalpana's room but thinks whether he should knock the door or not. He
keeps waiting there for about 5 minutes and still does not knock the door.
Raghav in his mind: Should I knock the door? No, I
guess she will be still asleep. I'll wake her up simply and it is so early. Or
may be I should knock. But what will I tell her? Will she accept me as a friend
or not? What should I do? Should I or not?
Kalpana opens the door and Raghav puts his hand
forward to knock the door and by mistake hits her face.
Kalpana: Ouch! Mr. R, what are you up to? You came
here so early in the morning to slap me? How rude?
Raghav: Oh, I am so sorry Kalpana. I dint mean to
hurt you. I am really so sorry.
Kalpana is shocked to hear this and says: Are you
really Mr. R... I mean are you Raghav Singhania? You are saying sorry to me
(She points towards herself asking this question)
Raghav: Yes, I mean you only Kalpana. I am sorry that
you got hurt because of me. Truly saying this.
Kalpana gives a confused look (in her mind: I guess I
am still asleep. This cannot be Raghav as he will never tell me sorry. I am
surely dreaming): Pinch me.
Raghav: What?
Kalpana: Yeah, I said pinch me.
Raghav looks surprised towards Kalpana but then does
as she asked him to do.
Kalpana: Ouch! That hurts. I told you to pinch me
slightly not to pinch me so hard.
Raghav: Oops! I am so sorry Kalpana. Did I hurt you a
lot?
Kalpana: No, it's OK. But wait a second, are you the
real Raghav? I mean Raghav Singhania, Vikram Singhania's son?
Raghav: Yes, of course. Then who do you think I am
and why are you asking me this question?
Kalpana: No, I am asking this question as you have
told me sorry already thrice. You are not a perosn to say that. I mean that you
and sorry?
Raghav: Yes, I am saying sorry because I felt I hurt
you and for nothing else.
Raghav extends his hand towards Kalpana and says: So
friends?
Kalpana: What? Are you serious? You said the word
"friends"? You want to be my friend?
Raghav: Yes, why anything wrong in that?
Kalpana: Are you walking in your sleep? How are you
so nice to me today? Are you palying a prank on me? What's on your hand? Glue?
Kalpana checks Raghav's hand and finds nothing.
Raghav: Kalpana, just stop it. I just want to make
friends with you and just say a yes or no and I'll leave from here. I don't
have time. Just say it fast.
Kalpana (in her mind: Huh, what busy? He always keeps
loafing round the village and is behaving like he is some boss or something. He
is asking me for an answer or is ordering me to be friends with him. He does
not even know how to talk to a girl.)
Raghav: Kalpana, what are you standing and thinking.
Just say are you ready to be my friend or not. Ok fine. I guess you are not
interest and so I am leaving.
Kalpana holds his hand and says: Oh no Mr. R... I
mean Raghav. I'll be your friend. (Kalpana smiles at Raghav and shakes his
hand)
Raghav: Ok, fine. It's good for you only. I did this
only for dad's sake. He told me that we should be friends and not fight and so
hope after this you improve.
Kalpana: What? Me and improve?
Kalpana notices Vikram and changes her statement and
says: Oh yes Raghav. I will improve. And don't worry, I did not get hurt with
your slap and your pinch.
Vikram: What Kalpana? You got hurt beta? Raghav, you
slapped her?
Raghav: No dad I mean it was a mistake.
Vikram: Mistake? Yesterday because of you, Kalpana
hurt her hand and today you slapped her? What are you up to Raghav. She is so
small and I told you to behave well with her.
Kalpana smirks and says in her mind: Yes, I am so
happy that Raghav is getting scolding from Vikram dad. He was telling me to
improve and now see, his tai tai phishhh became.
Raghav: No dad. I told her sorry too. Say na Kalpana?
I told you sorry.
Kalpana: Who me? You told me sorry?
Raghav bites his teeth and says in a harsh voice: I
said it Kalpana. Don't lie.
Vikram: What a way to ask Raghav? Can't you be polite
to Kalpana. (Vikram caresses Kalpana head and says this.)
Raghav: Sorry dad and sorry Kalpana.
Kalpana: It's ok Raghav. I don't mind anything and
now we are friends right?
Raghav in an uninterested tone: Yes.
Kalpana: Great! That means today being a Sunday, we
both can go to the lake for fun and you can use your cycle. I love to sit on a
cycle and it has been a long time I have sat on a cycle. It's so lovely.
Raghav: What, what? Wait a second. When did I tell
you that I will take you on any sun ride? And for your information, today is a
Sunday and I prefer staying at home only and you being unwell, you should stay
at home too.
Kalpana: Where am I sick? See I am fine. Nothing has
happened to me. My hand pain is also gone.
Raghav: I said no.
Kalpana: Dad, please tell Raghav to come with me na
today. I am feeling so bored and for so long I have not been to that lake.
Please tell him na.
Vikram: Raghav, take her out. She is requesting you and
this is your age to spend the best time with your friends and not remain at
home. You have forgotten that you are a kid too and so do whatever Kalpana
says.
Raghav as usual cannot refuse his dad and finally
agrees and says in his mind: Raghav, you agreed to take Kalpana with you but
you need to be careful of this girl. Kalpana is a big prankster and who knows,
she may want to drown you in that lake. Oh, what am I thinking and am I scared
of Kalpana. No, I need to be strong and not a coward and especially I cannot
let Kalpana to notice that I am scared of you. Let's see what happens but today
if she does any such thing, you also show her that you are Raghav Singhania and
not an ordinary person. Be confident.
Raghav gets his cycle ready and Kalpana just jumps on
the second seat.
Raghav: What is this Kalpana? Just get off the cycle.
I need to sit first and then you sit.
Kalpana: No, I won't get off. You sit on the cycle. I
don't mind. In any case I don't know how to ride a cycle.
Raghav: Very funny Kalpana. Get off else I throw this
cycle down.
Kalpana: Ok, wait wait.. I'l get off. (Kalpana in her
mind: Huh! He still has his useless attitude)
Raghav sits on the cycle and Kalpana sits behind him
and holds him tight.
Raghav: Kalpana, just loosen your grip. I can't
breath.
Kalpana: Hmm ok.
Raghav rides the cycle and Kalpana keeps telling him
to ride faster.
Kalpana: Raghav, speed up. Come on drive fast. We
need to reach the lake today itself and now after a week.
Raghav gets irritated but controls his anger: Ok,
fine. Here we go.
Kalpana: Come on Raghav. Faster. You are riding the
cycle so slow.
Raghav: Ok wait. Now are you fine.
Kalpana: Come on Raghav. So slow. Ride faster. If I
start running, I will reach before your cycle reaches there. (Kalpana pushes
him from behind)
Raghav finally loses his anger and stops the cycle
and says: Get down.
Kalpana: What?
Raghav: I said get off the cycle now.
Kalpana: Ok.
Kalpana gets off the cycle and Raghav starts riding
the cycle and Kalpana says in a loud voice: Raghav, what happened? Where are
you going and leaving me here?
Raghav stops the cycle and says: You want to reach
the lake fast right. So now I want to see your speed. You only said that you
can run and reach faster. So do it now.
Kalpana: What? I meant that you were riding slowly
and I can run fast but today I am quite tired.
Raghav: Oh! So now you give up. Anyways, what I say
mean it. Now you run and reach there before me.
Raghav leaves from there and Kalpana gets angry on
him. Kalpana takes a stone and throws it on the road showing her angry and
says: Mr. R will always remain Mr. R. Useless fellow left me on the road
stranded and telling me run. Run my foot. Kalpana, you are also mad. You know
that he is Mr. R and still you kept boasting that you can run faster than his
cycle. Foolish me. No, why am I foolish? He is stupid, idiot and arggggghhh! I
hate you Raghav.
Raghav whistles at Kalpana from behind.
Kalpana: Now who is this idiot who is whistling at
me.
Kalpana turns back and notices it is none other than
Raghav.
Kalpana: So Mr. R, it's you. So finally you realized
your mistake?
Raghav: Sit fast behind else I will surely go away
this time. Just get it fast.
Kalpana thinks of arguing more but realizes it is of
no use as Raghav may this time surely leave her stranded.
Four years pass by....
Raghav is 16 years old and Kalpana is 12 years old.
The relationship of Raghav and Kalpana is still the
same as both feel for each other but still keep fighting at each and every
thing. Whenever Raghav is hurt or sick, Kalpana feels bad for him and puts
medicine for him and Raghav too sits besides Kalpana and takes care of her
whenever she is ill. Raghav fights with any boy who teases Kalpana and scolds
her and Kalpana does not let Raghav talk to any other girl besides her. She
scolds him saying that she would complain to Vikram dad if he ignores her and
supports any other girl.
Precap: Raghav fights with some boys who try to say
bad things about his family...
