..Kalpi quickly ran up the stairs of the chawl only to be stopped by kamla. I told you not to see raghav kalpi. .he is pakki's husband why do you still do this to me?kamla was really agitated with kalpi. .but aai you are the one who don't understand that raghav loves me and not pakki and I love raghav " ..kalpi replied exasperated by the way her aai was still supporting pakki. Kamla could not see eye to eye with kalpi and raised her hand towards kalpi to slap her. ....her anger knowing no bounds but in that instant kalpi ducked causing kamla to lurch forward and hit her face against a pillar. .kamla's mouth started bleeding while vittal rushed out hearing the commotion"kamla what have you done to yourself. .Vittal rushed into the house to get a wet towel and dabbed it over kamla's bleeding lip  but kamla was like a mad woman she moved forward and still tried to slap kalpi  but vittal got mad," Kamla stop it.it is because of you that kalpi is suffering so much,you loved pakki and ignored my rajkumari,,,,"saying this words Viattal gave Kamla a hard slap which made kamla  stand in a state of shock...her  lips was bleeding and now her loving husband slapped her,and when kalpi tried to help .kamla pushed kalpi's hands away and refused her help. While vittal was attending to kamla kalpi showered and lay on her bed thinking of that wonderfull loving moments in her husband Raghav's arms. They were husband and wife in the true sense of the word. .meanwhile pakki removed the shattered frame of her wedding photo and sat on her bed .it was bad omen had something happened to raghav.she tried calling raghav but his phone was switched off. Pakki slowly crept out of the house silently afraid that gowri was going to catch her ..as pakki was rushing out of the house she hit her feet on a culvert and it started to bleed. ....destiny was playing games with kamla and pakki at the same time pakki had to abandon her search for raghav and returned back to the house and walked right into gauri's clutches. .so you're behaving like a inmoral character now hissed Gauri. ....pakki stopped in her tracks ..her bleeding feet staining the carpet which angered gauri even further. Get it cleaned Pakki gauri said and went back to her room. .pakki limped to the kitchen and opened the first aid kit and started cleaning her wound and after dressing her wound she moved towards her room and noticed raghav seated on his bed. Raghav are you hurt "pakki cried and touched raghav on his shoulder but raghav moved away from pakki. "Stay away from me pakki I don't love you please I love only my kalpi. Do you hear me shouted raghav and slammed the door shut after pakki. .....pakki scurried off like a scared rabbit into her room where Raghav had once stood with kalpi and pacified pakki when neetu had stolen her presentation and today Raghav was married to her but in name sake only deep in her heart she wowed that she would make raghav fall in love with her little realising that her efforts were going to go down the drains and that raghav and kalpi belonged only to each other. .Raghav moved back to his own house he felt suffocated in the kapoors mansion. Raghav hurried out to meet kalpi who was waiting in an auto......."kalpi you look beautiful tonight. Saying this raghav lifted kalpi's hand and kissed it while kalpi rested her head on his shoulder sitting close to him in his car"Raghav I need to work but my aai is adamant that I should not work for you anymore I just don't know what to do after what happened at pillai's office ...Raghav who had been playing with kalpi's hair straightened himself. Ok I will do it for you but for now I need only one thing from you said raghav and lazily and lovingly gazed at kalpi's sweet lips and before raghav could do anything further kalpi gave her husband raghav a smacking kiss on his lips which threw raghav into hilarious laughter"A truely devoted wifey gesture .Raghav' teased "" how much I love you only bappa knows. I love you too raghav please do it discreetly this job offer. Said kalpi and raghav nodded " I will definitely darling girl. they hugged each other and as she got down from raghav's car kalpi stood shocked when she saw pakki standing with kamla with a murderous look in her eyes. "Kalpi "raghav is my husband stay away from him and in rage rushed forward ready to scratch kalpi's face but raghav stopped her. .pakki stop, it if you lay one finger on kalpi I swear that I will forget you are a woman and strike you. ..pakki was seething with anger while kamla dragged pakki away she called vittal to take kalpi home. ..The next few days was like hell for kalpi with kamla hovering like a vulture around kalpi and kalpi was finally relieved when an old college friend had passed on the message from Raghav that an advertisement has been placed in the newspaper for the post of Chief Operational Executive for a contruction company registered under International Builders Association in Pune. ..kalpi wasted no time and showed the advertisement to kamla who at once followed kalpi for the interview and the job was offered at once to kalpi but kamla was curious and more interested to meet kalpi's new employer just to be on the safe side in case Raghav Singhania was involved ... kamla was relieved to see a lady boss who seemed so classy and smart. ."thank you memsaab for offering my daughter this job and quickly hailed an auto to go to the pune bus station and back home to the chawl. .."Aai i forgot my portfolio l need to get it back announced kalpi and rushed back to the new office building where she was interviewed. She saw Raghav shaking hands with her new employer Mrs Mathuri Trivedi. ...Mrs trivedi left leaving Raghav Singhania and Kalpana not knowing the nature of their relationship she was only helping her colleague in securing a job for a talented girl from the chawl. Raghav hugged kalpi and kissed her on her temple "take care kalpi we will keep in touch :while kalpi hugged raghav so tightly afraid to part from him but she had too until pakki and raghav divorce was final and raghav would be free... taking one last look at raghav kalpi hurried back to her aai and thus kalpi leaves the chawl for her new venture with Raghav as her pillar of strength in the background and little realising that the tiny seed of love was beginning to grow in Kalpi's womb. .......KALPI PREGNANT. ........to be continued ..........
