" You have everything ? " Kalpi asked, " yup " John answered as he looked at the files, " ok so you have four and I have one. " Kalpi said, " tell them the rules have changed, and that they only have 2 weeks to complete the task " Kalpi said as they walked to the car, " got it boss "John smiled and got in. Kalpi got in her car and drove off to the Singhania Villa.

" just sign here, here, and here " Mr. Verma who was Raghav's lawyer said. After Pakhi signed the documents, she was so excited and so was Gauri, Raghav just stood there, smirking on the inside, " all done Mr. Singhania " Mr. Verma smiled at Raghav " thank you Verma " Raghav smiled and shook his hand. " this calls for a celebration " Gauri said happily and went to the kitchen, followed by Pakhi. Just then their maid, Nima came " Sir, Ms. Jadhav is here " Nima said, Raghav looked at the door as Kalpi walked in with full confidence, " I hope I'm intruding Mr. Singhania " Kalpi said confidently, " no...no..please come in " Raghav smirked at her as he gaze seductively looked up and down Kalpi. " What are you doing here ? " Pakhi sneered, Kalpi rolled her eyes, " oh Ms. Jadhav what a pleasant surprise " Gauri said happily, " yeah...yeah " Kalpi thought, " please join us " Gauri said, " for ? " Kalpi asked, " for Raghav and Pakhi " Gauri smiled wickedly. Kalpi puffed out a breath, " actually I just came to give this to Mr. Singhania. Congratulations, you made it to the top 5 " Kalpi said passing him the file, Raghav smiled as he took it, " you have 2 weeks to come out with an idea " Kalpi said, " what !!!! 2 weeks !!!! that's too short !!! " Gauri said snatching and looking at the file, " I have decided to turn up the game. 3 weeks is too easy, I don't see any stress, that's why " Kalpi said, " yes but 2 weeks...that's too shot. Like this Raghav will never win the contract " Gauri said desperately, Kalpi shook her head, " I'm sorry.. I play a fair game. 2 weeks " Kalpi and walked off. Kalpi reached the door and turned around and looked back at Gauri and Pakhi who was trying to find a solution, " Mrs. Singhania " Kalpi called out, and Gauri's head snapped up and looked at Kalpi, " if you have anything to say or have any problems. Please tell me face-to-face. Don't waste my parents time with your silly whining about me latching onto your son " Kalpi said dangerously, put on her shades and walked off. When Raghav heard that, range was boiling in him, " that despicable girl !!! how can she say that to me. I'm Gauri Singhania !!!! Singhania !!!! " Gauri said and started to throw a hissy fit right then and there. Raghav was angry and annoyed, he snatched the file from his mom and climbed the stairs to his room, " RAGHAV !!!!! DON'T BELIEVE HER !!!!! " Gauri yelled, but Raghav just kept climbing.

" How did it go ? " John asked, " good..." Kalpi smirked as she sat at her table in the office. " oh yeah, Jason Barns called " John said, " Ok " Kalpi said, " he's inviting you for the opening of his new gallery in London " John said, " he asked if you can make it " John said, " when is it ? " Kalpi asked " this weekend " John said. Kalpi though for awhile, " tell him I'll come. And book me a ticket for London tomorrow " Kalpi said, " got it...1st class ? " John teased, Kalpi looked at him, " plus one ? " John asked, " no..not this time " Kalpi smiled, " alright " John said and walked out of her office.

After work, Kalpi drove to the chawl, " Kalpi beti " Kamala smiled and she went to hug Kalpi, " aai...baba " Kalpi smiled and hug Vittal. " How are you beti ? " Vittal asked, " good..I'm going to London tomorrow. " Kalpi smiled, " wow...must be so nice " Kamala said, " I'll take both of you next time " Kalpi smiled and held Kamala's hand in encouragement, " what is the occasion ? " Vittal asked, " a good friend of mine, Jason Barns is having an opening for his new gallery and he invited me " Kalpi smiled, " and its going to be on the television " Kalpi said happily, " meri Raajkumari...on the television !! " Vittal asked excitedly, Kalpi nodded, " I can't wait " Vittal said and he hugged her, Kalpi hugged back. After talking for sometime, Kalpi said her goodbyes and headed home.

The next day, Kalpi and John were at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, waiting for Kalpi's flight, " Passport ? " John asked, " check " Kalpi replied, " bag ? " John asked again , " check " Kalpi replied looking at her bag, " attitude ? " John asked, Kalpi looked at him and smirked, " always " Kalpi smiled and hugged her, " ok you know what to do ? " Kalpi asked, " yes..yes...I'll tell you parents when you come on " John smiled, " thank you " Kalpi said. Just then Kalpi's flight was called, " gotta go " Kalpi waved at John and headed to the departure gate.

" 2 weeks !!!!??? wow she is really testing us " Sammy said, once Raghav explained, Raghav nodded, " so how did it go ? " Sammy asked, Raghav smirked, " it went well...they did not suspect a thing. I tell you Verma did a good job " Raghav smirked as he sat behind his desk and looked at the file. After sometime, Raghav felt like calling Kalpi, so he picked up the phone and dialed her number, " hello ? " said a voice, Raghav looked at the phone, " this is not Kalpi ? " Raghav thought, " oh Mr. Singhania. Its me John " John said, " oh..hey John. Is Kal..I mean Ms. Jadhav there ? " Raghav asked, " sorry sir..you just missed her. Kalpi went overseas for a while " John said, " overseas ? " where ? " Raghav asked, " I'm sorry sir. Kalpi made me promise not to tell you " John said, " come on John...I take the blame..don't worry. " Raghav asked again, " nice try sir. Sorry. But you can see her on Saturday at 9 pm on LI " John said, " huh ? " Raghav replied, " you'll see. Bye " John said and hung up. Raghav kept the phone, "Saturday ? 9 pm ? LI ? " Raghav asked himself," what !!! ?? " Raghav thought , confused at the whole conversation.

London

After 9 hours and 30 minutes on the flight, Kalpi finally arrived at London International Airport. Kalpi got her bag and walked out of the airport, " Ms. Jadhav ? " a guy said, " yes ? " Kalpi asked, " I'm Mark. Mr. Barns personal diver. " Mark said, " oh..." Kalpi said in shock, " I'm here to take you to the Hotel " Mark said, " Hotel ? " Kalpi asked in shock, " yes. Mr. Barns specially booked you a suite at the hotel " Mark smiled, " oh dear...he should not have " Kalpi said, Mark smiled, " shall we ? " Mark asked, " yes..thank you Mark " Kalpi smiled and Mark took Kalpi's bag and placed in the trunk of the car.

10 minutes later, they arrived at the hotel and Kalpi got out, " Bulgari Hotel ? " Kalpi asked in shock as she looked at the hotel, " Mr. Barns only chooses the best for his friends. " Mark said, as he took Kalpi luggage out, " Thank you Mark. And tell Mr. Barns thank you. This is amazing " Kalpi smiled and took her luggage, " I'll see you tomorrow then Ms. " Mark said as he tip his hat at her, " Kalpi smiled and nodded and walked into the hotel and straight to the front office. " Hello, Kalpana Jadhav " Kalpi said, " oh Ms. Jahav..we have been expecting you, here is your room key and the bellboy with help you with your luggage " the front office personal said with a smiled, " Thank you " Kalpi smiled back and walked to the elevator where the bellboy was waiting for her.

" here you go Ms. " the bellboy said as he rolled her luggage into the room, " thank you " Kalpi smiled as she passed a tip to the bellboy. When he walked out, Kalpi looked at the room, " wow " Kalpi said. Just the her phone rang, " hello ? " Kalpi answered, " Kalpi !!! I'm so gald !! did you make it ? " John said, " yup.. " Kalpi said looking around the room, " good. Oh and Dolly will be there tomorrow. Where are you staying? " John asked, " Bulgari Hotel " Kalpi said, " Bul.....BULGARI HOTEL !!!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!???? " John asked in shock, " yup. Jason booked it for me " Kalpi said, " oh my god !!!! this is sooo rich " John said excitedly, Kalpi chuckled and shook her, " I've got to go John, I need to call Jason and tell Dolly is Bulgari Hotel " Kalpi said, " got it...I still can't believe it " John said, " bye " Kalpi said and hung up.

Raghav was typing on his computer, when Sammy came in " hey...drinks ? " Sammy asked, " no...you know I stopped ever since Kalpi came back " Raghav said, " hey..come on let's get out of here. We have been here the whole day. We need a break " Sammy said pulling Raghav with him to the elevator and to the car. 10 minutes later they were at Sammy's apartment, " you know I called Kalpi today " Raghav said, " really ?? what did she say ? " Sammy asked, " nothing...I could not get her. Her assistant John replied. He said that she went overseas " Raghav said in frustration, " for how long ? " Sammy asked, Raghav shrugged his shoulders " he would not say " Raghav said, " but he did say something that I can see her on Saturday at 9pm on LI " Raghav said, " huh ? " Sammy said, " exactly the same answer I had Raghav chuckled, " so when are you getting the confirmation on the papers ? " Sammy asked, " In 3 weeks . But if its early, Verma will let me know " Raghav said, " you know..once you get the annulment, marry Kalpi straight away. Then if they want to do anything to you or Kalpi, they have no right. Especially Pakhi " Sammy said, " I wanted to do that...but I don't think Kalpi will like that. She deserves a wedding. A real wedding...after what I have done " Raghav said feeling guilty, " hey...it'll be ok " Sammy said patting his knees in encouragement.
