The next day gauri brought the priest. Kalpi was in her room sleeping when gauri woke her up. "Kalpi, wake up." She says waking her up
"Yes gauri- aunty." She says
"It's your wedding day bacca you have to get ready." She says
Kalpi got up and tried to talk to gauri but she left before she could.
Paki on the other hand woke up to see the priests saying some words. She couldn't believe this was happening. She saw gauri coming out of kalpi room and walks up to her.
"You can't do this gauri." She says
"Why not, if I can make my son marry you, why can't I."she says
"Because I'm his wife, no one else" She says
"But he doesn't love you. You might have the title of wife but you can never have his love because it belongs to kalpi." She says
"I know he doesn't love me, but he belongs to me. He even accepts it in front of god." She says
Gauri smirks "and now everything that you took from kalpi the gods will give it back to her, once they accept this marriage." She says walking away from her.
Raghav came to the house with Sammy and his parents, He was drunk.
Gauri walks to him and says "Raghav, what happened to you?"
"Kalpana!" he yells while moving back
"Kalpana! I love you." He yells
Kalpi came out of her room; she looks at where Raghav was and ran to him.
"Raghav, why are you like this?" she says concern
Paki walks towards Raghav and tries to touch him but he slaps her hand away "get away from me." He says drunk
"I only want kalpana to touch me." He says while looking at kalpi
"Sammy what happened to him?" she asks concern
"He called me when he was at the bar, drunk. Then he kept repeating kalpana don't love me." He says
"I thought he stopped drinking." Says paki
"Raghav only drinks when his frustrated." Says kalpi
"Please Sammy help me put him on the couch." Said gauri
They took him to the couch and let him rest. Kalpi tried to take the bottle from him when Raghav pulls her and hugs her arm. She tried to move her arm from his but he had a strong grip. He looks at kalpi lovingly and says "I can't wait for you to be my wife."
"I love you so much; finally I can show how much I love you in front of everyone." He says paki hearing all of it. She went to her room and slams the door. Crying her eyes out then she called someone.
"Well if it isn't paki-poo." Says Neetu
"Listen." She says
"Kalpi is running my marriage. Can you help me get rid of her?" She says
"Hmm" she says "my daughter hasn't talk to me in ages when she finally wants something she calls me." She says
"Why don't you ask your Kamla-ma." She says
"Kamla wouldn't do it. She would do that to kalpi." She says
"Ok fine, what's in it for me?" Neetu asks
"Cant you do something for your daughter without asking for something?" she says
Neetu thought about it and says "NO"
"Fine, I'll buy you some nice sari." She says
"No give me some money. I'm getting tiered of Kamla house." She says
"Fine" I'll send it"
"Good leave the back door open or kalpi window unlock. I'll call some people to get her." She says before hanging up.
Paki puts the phone down and thought to herself. You will finally be gone from Raghav life. She walks out her room and saw kalpi trying to get her hand away from Raghav.
"I love you kalpana!" he kept saying
"Raghav please let go." She says
"Nahim!" he says
Kalpi watches them and quietly walks to kalpi room. She made sure no one was watching when she came in her room. She unlocks her window and left it down. Then she opens her door only to see gauri at the door.
"What are you doing paki?" she asks
"I came to get kalpi wedding dress for her." She says
"And why would you do that." She asks
"Because Raghav won't let go of her hand" She says scared
"Don't worry about it, you go from here." she says
Paki walk away not turning back, she went to the kitchen to bring water for Raghav. While gauri inspects the room to make sure nothing is out of place, When she found nothing she went back to talk to the pr
