Part 3

Kamla could not do anything and while the Kapoors were escorted out of the chawl by Sammy ......Vittal and Pakya were grinning ear to ear........finally the Kapoors were out of the house, they have had enough of the Kapoors...........mean while kalpi had already packed her bags and had hidden it behind her favourite bench.........Sammy passed information to Raghav that his mission to throw the Kapoors out of the chawl was done and that he saw kalpi walking towards the temple.....and as Raghav rushed out to meet kalpi his phone rang he reached for his phone...it was Ramu the peon...'.Mr Singhania sir I saw kalpana madam carrying a big bag I think she is going somewhere Raghav stuffed phone in to his pocket...... it got entangled with something and when he looked at the phone he saw it entangled with the mangalsutre kamla had stuffed in anger in to his hand....the mangalsutre which had been meant for kalpi...which he never got to tie around kalpi's neck..Raghav drove like mad towards the temple , parked his car at the foot of the temple and ran upstairs to The Ganpatthi Bappa Temple and saw kalpi seated on the floor head bent low and crying..........without a word Raghav took a little sindhoor at the feet of Ganpatthi Bappa and dashed it on Kalpi's parting and when kalpi looked up through her tears Raghv tied the mangalsutre around kalpi's neck and he hugged her crying..."kalpi you can't leave me and go...I will die without you...today I have accepted you as my wife in front of bappa".....he said.....the temple bells peeled and a sudden gust of wind swept past the temple and a marigold garland flew from Ganpatti Bappa murthi and fell on Raghav and Kalpi.....marriage blessings from bappa.and meanwhile at the Kapoors mansion pakki who had been trying to hang her wedding photo on the wall slipped and fell down the glass frame shattered into pieces and pakki's own hand snatched off the mangalsutre she was wearing and it fell and got stepped by gauri who had rushed to see what had happened after hearing the crashing sound ......'see pakki ..gauri sneered...' even the gods never blessed your marriage they hate you ....' saying this remark gauri left. ..Pakki sat on the floor shocked and in the process pricked her fingeron a splinter and her finger started to bleed.........................At the bappa's temple Raghav and Kalpi hugged each other and before they could rush to the car it started raining and they both ran while Raghav shelterd kalpi's head from thr rain from washing off kalpi's marriage sinthoor and once they reached home Raghav lifted kalpi into his arms and carried her to his room where he towel dried her hair and gave her his shirt to wear while her clothes dried and then he could not help himself he kissed kalpi while she delightd in his touch...their marriage consummated and a little later when the rain had stopped Raghav sent her to the chawl but not before hugging and kissing her ......Raghav waited till she ran up the stairs of the chawl............Kalpi came face to face with kamla................to be continued
