RagNa Love Stories: Ragna SS: Love&Revenge (A battle between lovers) Chapter 42

Mira leaves her house to reach college and waiting outside her chawl for an auto rickshaw.

After waiting for 10 minutes, she notices a rickshaw approaching her and before she is about to halt it, Prem enters the rickshaw.

She keeps watching the rickshaw leaving before her and notices that the man has a familiar face. She tries to recollect the image and the person but does not remember who the person was. After few moments, a rickshaw stops near her and she enters it and leaves for her college.

Raghav shuts down the projector and requests everyone to take a break for lunch. Raghav and Kalpana move forward to leave the room. They place their hand on the knob together and Kalpana looks at Raghav for a moment. They share an eye lock and when reality strikes Kalpana, she moves her hand behind.

Raghav feels hurt by her ignorance and tries to open the knob on his own and while trying hard to open it, the nail suspended besides the lock hurts his hand and he takes of his hand instantly.

Kalpana holds Raghav's hand and starts blowing on it. She tries to stop the blood from dripping down and takes her handkerchief and ties it on Raghav's hand. Tears start forming in her eyes and Raghav stretches his hand to wipe her tears.

Kalpana looks at Raghav with moist eyes and being unable to control her feelings, she hugs him tightly and says "Can't we start our life as before Raghav? I'm ready to forget whatever happened in the past and what you did to my family. I just want you back Raghav, my old Raghav back." She caresses his face and says "I want to leave behind the bitter memories and start a new chapter. Please Raghav..."

Raghav holds her hands and says in a low voice "You need to believe me as well Kalpi? You need to have faith in me. I'm still your old Raghav but my old Kalpi is missing."

Tears formed in Kalpi's eyes as she held Raghav's hands. "I'm still your old Kalpi, Raghav."

"Then trust me. I'll never do anything wrong. I just need you once to trust me. Just once."

Mira leaves her college and rents a rickshaw to reach her home. She gets off the rickshaw and takes out money from her wallet and pays the driver the money.

Prem keeps talking on the phone, requesting his business partner to loan him an amount. Mira turns to enter her chawl and dashes into Prem due to which his mobile falls ton the ground.

"What the hell? You can't see and walk?" Prem snaps.

"I'm sorry...I din't..." Mira stops when she notices a familiar person. She keeps staring at Prem and gets flashes of the past.

"Help...Help...No..." Tina kept screaming as Prem kept molesting her friend Tina. He kept hitting her and holding her mouth while molesting her and Mira shivered as she witnessed the heinous crime. Her feet were cold as she saw her best friend being raped brutally by the monster.

*********

Mira takes few steps behind and rushes up to her house. Prem keeps standing down and watching the girl rush up. "Why do I feel I have seen this girl? Do I know her? Why did she just run away?"

Kalpana enters Raghav's car and Raghav helped her in buckling the safety belt. "Thanks Kalpi for trusting me once..."

"Raghav, please don't say thanks...I have always loved and trusted my family...Now also I don't feel that it's my brother who can commit such a crime...But ...But now I want to trust my love...I want to trust you Raghav...I love you." Kalpana says as a tear trickles down her cheek.

Raghav wipes the tear and says "I love you Kalpi...I promise you that I'll never let your trust break..."

The car stops outside a house and Raghav holds Kalpana's hand while walking towards the house. He knocks at the door and a man opens it. the man notices Raghav standing outside the door and lowers his eyes while asking him to come inside with Kalpana.

"Sir, you want anything?" The man asks.

"I want to hear the truth...Please say it." Raghav says and the man looks up while Kalpana keeps wondering as to why did Raghav bring her here.

"Sir...I'm sorry...For so many years I kept quite but..." The man apologizes and joins his hands before Raghav.

"No...There's no need to be sorry...I just want you to tell Kalpana the truth...The truth about that night..." Raghav assures him.

Kalpana looks at Raghav and asks "Who is he?"

"The watchman of the school." Raghav says firmly which makes Kalpana widen her eyes as she tries to recognize him as the man who was the witness to the crime 5 years ago.

"Because of me, an innocent and respectable man like Vikram sir lost his life. Madam, I had seen your brother Prem that day and not Vikram sir." Then watchman says.

Kalpana moves back when she hears this and the watchman keeps narrating the incident when he had seen Prem leaving from the school and then Prem bribed him to shut his mouth about the rape. He also says that Vikram was always with him and he could have never committed the crime.
