Scene 1

Paki and Gauri were both shock to see kalpi in Raghav arms.

Getting out of her state of shock, you could still see the worried that was written on gauri face, as she quickly rushes towards Raghav to help kalpi. She looks at kalpi and Raghav, and then she says “what happened to her Bēṭā”.

“I found her in the rain, just standing there.” He says sadly

Gauri touched her forehead then says “she’s burning; we have to take her to the guest room.” She said

Raghav follows his mom to the guest room, and then he gently puts her down on the bed.

Pakhi watching all of this was a little bit sad, Raghav went to meet kalpi, is that why he left late at night? She thought. She stood by the door observing her mother in law and husband taking care of kalpi. Gauri turns towards her and says “why are you just standing there, go get me hot water and a towel.” 

Pakhi walks to the kitchen and boil some hot water. When it was done she found a towel and walk to the guest room.

“Here you go Māṁ.”  She says earning a look from gauri

“Did I tell you to call me that?”  She says

“N..No, bu-.”

“Kō'ī magara nahīṁ, yahām̐ sē calē jā'ō.”

Paki sadly turns around and leave. Raghav not paying any attention to paki looks at kalpi. He was on her left side holding her hand while gauri attends to her. Worried was written on his face.   When she was done, she told Raghav to go to sleep, but he refused.

“No mom, I will stay with kalpi. You should rest.” He says

“You sure son?” she asked

“Yes I’m sure.”

“Ok” she says

Gauri left Raghav alone with kalpi.  He looks at her lovingly and grabs her hand. Then he says “fate has bought us together once again, kalpi. This time I wont let you go.” He says

Paki watches gauri leave. Then she went to Raghav, she was going to knock when she heard Raghav speak.

“I love you so much kalpi. No one will replace you from my heart.”

Pakhi back away sadly and walk to her room. Once she was in there she cried to sleep.

Scene 2

 

Kamla didn’t sleep the whole night because she was worried about kalpi.

Where are you kalpi? Did you go to Raghav? No she couldn’t have Raghav lives far away. So where is she?

 Kamla was so busy thinking about kalpi that she didn’t hear pakiya asking about her.

“Mom, where is kalpi?” he asked

“She… she.” Kamla said looking at him

“I kicked her out”. Said vitthal
