The priest was being impatient and so was everyone else. He looks at gauri and says "is the bride coming?"
"She should be, please let me check." She walks to the guest room and knocks saying "kalpi, are you done?"when she got no response she says "kalpi I'm coming in." she tried to open the door but finds it stuck, she push the door to open it but nothing happened. Raghav worried, walks to his mom, then he asks her "what's wrong mom?"
"The door won't open." She says while looking at him
"Let me try." He says gauri moves away from the door making Raghav take her place. She watches as Raghav push the door, when he got nothing he continues to push until he kicks it open. When it opens they both walk in saying kalpi name. The room was dark, they could see kalpi clothes stack in the corner, and the window is open with the wind blowing the curtains. They search for kalpi and when they didn't see her Raghav drops down on his knees.
Paki and Sammy came in the room, paki was smirking when know one was looking. Raghav was on the floor when he saw a paper balled up, he reads it and shook his head. Gauri wanting to know what he read asks him to give him the paper. Once he did, gauri reads it out loud.
"Dear Raghav, I'm sorry I can't marry you. You're married now, and I realize I'm ruining your marriage. I can't watch another woman touch you while I'm around, it hurts me to much. I tried telling your mom that I don't want to marry you but she wouldn't listen. Please forgive me and please don't look for me. I'll be fine and I'm sorry again." She finished shocking everyone.
"Why would kalpi run away?" Said gauri
"I can't believe she left me." Says Raghav getting up
"I should have listened to her when she tried to tell me something, then she would have still been in this house." Says gauri
"But what made you think she wrote this, I mean if she was in a hurry she wouldn't have written this; even if she did it would have been sloppy." Says Sammy making paki hold her sari tightly.I forgot how smart Sammy was, she thought
"This is her handwriting." Says Raghav sad
"But Raghav, something is not right here. All of her things are neatly packed on the bed and her clothes."He says showing her closet "are still here, so if she was gonna leave, why didn't she take her clothes." He says
"That's probably because she didn't want any heavy luggage with her besides how would she take this out the window." Paki says "and she couldn't take the back way because we would know." She finished
"Paki has a point, we should all just admit to our self what really happen, and that kalpi ran away from the marriage." Says Sammy mom
Raghav not liking this left the room mad, he went to his room and throws something's on the floor. He remembers kalpi and how she helped him when he was drunk. He went to his desk and got some alcohol, and then he starts drinking it. He drank until he was drunk.
elsewhere, The goons took kalpi to an abandon house. It was dark and messy. Once they reached inside they put her on a chair and tied her up. Kalpi still unconscious didn't know what was going on. She was dreaming and having nightmares, sweat was forming on her forehead. One of the leaders calls paki, when she didn't respond he steps outside and calls again.
Paki waited until everyone left the room then she remembers how she wrote the letter, faking kalpi handwriting and roughing it up to make it seem like she wrote this. I will have to thank kamla later on for making me study with kalpi and coming to their house. She thought. She was about to go to Raghav when her phone rang, looking at it she quickly snuck outside. She checked to see if anyone was outside than she picks it up.
"What!" she says
"Mam, what should we do with her." He says
"I don't know, do whatever you can to make her forget Raghav." She says
"Ok mama" he says
"One more thing, don't ever call me again, I'll call you." She said
"Ok mam" he says then hangs up
The leader walks back to the house and gave his boys the command. He told them to punish her until she forgets her memories. They all smirk than one of the goons took hot water and pour it on her hand, making her wake up and screaming. Kalpi looks at the goons and remembers what happened. She was scared she didn't know why they kidnapped her or who they were.
"Please." She says "please let me go."
"You here that boys she wants us to let her go." Says the leader smirking
"You want us to let you go fine." He says making kalpi sigh with relief
"But that will be after we are done with you." He says making kalpi frown
One of the guys brought in hot iron; he puts it right in front of kalpi.
"Do you see this?" he says "I've used this iron on so many people; you will be the first girl I've ever used it on." He says taking the iron and putting it closer to her. Kalpi was shaking her head screaming no, as soon as the iron hits her hand she screams.
"Do you hear that boys." He says "that's the sweet sound of music." He says removing it from her hand and puts it back in the fire.
