RagNa Love Stories: Ragna SS: Love&Revenge (A battle between lovers) Chapter 28

Kalpana waits for half an hour in the car but does not see any sign of Raghav. She gets down of the car to take some fresh air.

Kalpana hears her mobile ringing in the car and she opens the door and picks up the phone.

The call is from Payal but due to signal issues, she is unable to hear the call. She moves forward in the hope to get a clearer signal.

She keeps walking forward saying “Hello aunty, can you hear me?" and checking the signal and notices a forest area.

She first hesitates to enter it but since she does not want to miss her aunt's call thinking it must be an urgency, she enters the forest and misses the board which mentions "The area is restricted due to wild animals present in the forest."

Kalpana finally hears her aunt's voice and she says "Hello aunty."

Payal says "Kalpana, now finally I can hear you. Where are you?"

Kalpana says "I am fine aunty and am still in Pune. We just left. You say na. Anything urgent?"

Payal says "Oh no Kalpana. Just called up to know when you are coming home."

Kalpana smiles and says "I will reach by evening. Thanks aunty for calling me up."

Payal says "OK bye." She says to herself "I need you to return soon Kalpi. Filling water every day is such a pain. At least when you come, you can do that work."

Kalpana turns back to leave the jungle when she hears some noise. She hears the grass moving and notices someone behind it. She says "Who is there?"

Kalpana starts getting nervous as she hears the sound getting louder and nearing her. She says loudly "Who is it?"

Raghav returns with the mechanic and the mechanic starts working on the Tires.

Raghav searches for Kalpana inside the car but notices that she is not in the car nor anywhere near the car.

Raghav calls out for her and goes to search her on the road but does not find her.

Raghav takes out his phone and calls her but the number comes unreachable.

The mechanic notices the tension on Raghav's face and asks him as to whom he was searching for.

Raghav says that his friend was waiting in the car but now she is not to be seen.

The mechanic warns him saying "There is a forest ahead and since your friend is not here, she must have by mistake entered that forest. There are wild animals there and it's a dangerous place."

Raghav watches the forest and enters it slowly when he hears the mechanic saying "Sir, please don't enter that area. We need to call help before entering that area. Few days back a small child was attacked by a Leopard."

Raghav says "In an hour, it's going to become dark and then searching her will be tough for me. I am going to enter this forest to search for her. You take this money and complete your work and then you can leave."

Raghav enters the forest.

Kalpana moves behind as the sound gets louder and starts sweating. She notices blue eyes watching her through the grass and the animal moves outside the grass and Kalpana gets cold on seeing it's a leopard.

Kalpana stands blank as she does not understand whether she should run or stand still. The leopard moves closer to her and walks slowly as he starts growling.

Kalpana's eyes tear up as her eyes meet his. She moves a step backward which makes the leopard walk faster towards her and then he suddenly pounces which makes Kalpana fall to the ground.

She closes her eyes with her hands and screams.

After few seconds she removes her hand from her eyes and notices Raghav holding the paws of the leopard.

Raghav says "Kalpana run."
