Kalpi ran towards  the farm workers........they were  pulling  a huge tarpaulin  over  a  vegetable  patch ......kalpi  caught hold of  one edge of  the  tarpaulin  and  pulled  with all her  might........." miss    the  wind  is  very  strong..please get  back into  the  house"  a farm  boy  shouted..kalpi refused to  listen to  him  and  kept on  pulling  the tarpaulin......."   Kalpi........Oh  My  god..i  think  i am going  to  fly" Charmaine  shouted at the  top of  her  voice ..both  girls  did their best  and  managed  to  cover  most  of  the  vegetables  plants.......within  seconds  the  heavens  opened  and  the  torrential  rain    lashed out in fury.........Soaham  caught  hold of Kalpi and Charmaine's  hands......."what  the  hell are you two girls  doing  here"  ,get  back to the  house...."  Kalpi  pulled  her  hand  away.."we  just want to help....."     she replied  and   joined  the  workers     in  collecting  the  smaller  tarpaulin........Charmaine followed suit...........THe  cloud  turned  ominous........A  farm   worker  rushed  forward  suddenly..pointing towards  the  east...Sir  Singhania    farm  sir.........I cannot  see it   "...................What !......Exclaimed  Soham     ,,turning swiftly    and  he started to  run  towards the  land rover  parked nearby........." Kalpi    and  charmaine  ran after  him   in  the  rain......." we are  coming  with  you".........." No   shouted Soham  'You girls  need to  get into  the  house right away"...............Kalpi  sulked  and  ran  to the farm house........,charmaine   was  shivering  ,she  quickly  ran  into the  house...expecting kalpi to follow..........Kalpi   hid  behind the land rover   while Soham was talking to   Mani  the  milkman......and  when he was not  looking  Kalpi climbed into the land rover and  hid  under a huge  canvas........soham got into  it a few minutes later  and  drove..........he  reached  Singhania  farm......and  was  quite  relieved to see Raghav  had  actually   done  everything  to save  the crops......Soham   "   Thanks  for  your  concern".........Raghav  replied  to  Soham's  question.......the   rain  still  lashed  out.    just then  kalpi peeked  out  from  the  canvas.......her  heart skipped a beat when  she  saw  Raghav  standing in  the  rain.......talking  to  Soham...........she   quickly  got  out  from  the  land rover....and  peeped again   ......crouching   like a little   cat.......and  it  was  at  this  moment  she  saw  a  piece of zinc    torn  away  from  a  shed  near by  and  was   flying rapidly  towards  Raghav........she    raised  herself   in a frenzy  and  lunged  forward  and  pushed raghav out of the way...the   zinc     hit   her  and made  a deep  gash on her  arm and  it  started to bleed.........Raghav and  Soham in a state of  shock  ran  to Kalpi............Raghav  lifted  Kalpi in his  arms........." i told  her to  go back to  the  house"........Soham  was  furious........she  must  have  got in to the rover....when i was not looking......"Charmaine and kalpi were  out in the field  helping  us..and   she  disobeyed me....'just  look what  had  happened to her.......Raghav   carried  her  to  a shed   nearby.......as  Kalpi winced in pain.....,he  laid  her  gently on a  wooden platform   used to  sort out   vegetables.........."what were you  thinking  putting  youself  in danger  like  that."   Raghav  singhania  was    barking  like  a mad  dog....'..hell  hath  its  fury'".............thought Kalpi   shaking  uncontrollably........from  cold  and  pain......she  started  to  cry......."soham   steppped  forward  but  Raghav  huggged  her......"  I  am  sorry "......he  apologised.........you  risked  your  life  to  save  me"........." i   ...I    'stammmerd  Kalpi..i  saw  the  flying  zinc     moving  fast  towards  your  face......i  just   lunged  forward  without  thinking........kalpi   sobbed......., Raghav   just  hugged  kalpi..." I will get  the  medical  kit"     Soham  said  and   walked  out  in the  rain  to  get  it  from  his  land rover.............Raghav  cleaned  the  deep wound  and   dressed  it............. "She needs to  get  out   her  wet  clothes....and it  is  still raining......"   raghavv  expressed his  concern and  Soham  suggested..  they   cover  her  with  the  canvas  in the  rover..........and      carry  her  to  the  house............Soham   went  back to  the truck and  brought  the  canvas    ,,where  Kalpi   had  hidden   herself.........both  the  men  covered kalpi  completely with the  canvas  and   Raghav  carried  her to  his  house............."   Raghav    ,,,what is  it.?"........ Gauri Singania    enquired  when  she  saw  her  son  carry  a canvas bundle  in to   the   house........Soham    followed  behind  and  laughed''"Aunt Gauri........"see for yourself   waht  your  son  caught  this  time"...........The  men unwrapped  the  bundle  slowly and  carefully....." O My god'    gauri  exclaimed     ..as  her   eyes  fell on  a  girl   all drenched...and  shivering......."
