The Angel Vs The Devil

Chapter 10 - Dus Bahane Karke Le Gaye Dil

After a mind-blowing performance by Kalp, Raghav still could not look away. He was still in a daze by the whole thing. “ Kiya bhaat hai Manju, Kalpi was wonderful, thank you “ Gauri said as she kept on clapping. Gauri soon turned and saw Raghav’s facial expression, and she was amused, “ look like someone is smitten by someone else “ Gauri thought. Kalpi made her way to them, “” oh Kalpi that was beautiful, thank you so much “ Gauri said as she hugged Kalpi. Kalpi gave a shy smile and replied “ your welcome aunty-ji “.   “ come you guys must be tired, Kalpi please show them to their rooms “ she said, Kalpi just nodded and said “ aaye “ leading to their rooms. “ Aunty-ji yeh tumhara kamara hai “ Kalpi said as she opened the door and letting Gauri walk in to see the room” ore yeh tumhara kamara “ Kalpi said as she led Raghav to an adjoining room beside his mom’s, “ wow this room is so beautiful. “ Gauri said as she took a look around. Raghav was dazzled with the architecture of the whole thing. “ Ummm….if you need anything, feel free to ask me aunty-ji. My room is just right across the hall “ Kalpi said and left the two to get comfortable.

Kalpi made her way into her room, just then her phone started buzzing, “ Hello ? “ Kalpi said, “ Kalpi !!!!!!! “ Pakhi said on the other line, “ what’s wrong Pakhi ??? did something happened ?? are you ok ?? tell me what’s wrong ?? “ Kalpi said as she panicked “ everything just fine…..but I miss you “ Pakhi said in a baby voice. Kalpi rolled her eyes and said “ seriously Pakhi, this is why you called me ?? “ Kalpi said sarcastically, “ weeeeeeeelllllll……that and also that I need your help before my big interview on Friday “ Pakhi said sadly, “ Don’t worry I’ll be back tomorrow “ Kalpi said as she walked out of the room onto her balcony, “ your coming back ? tomorrow ?? itna jaldi ?? “ Pakhi said in a shocked tone, “ yeah, what’s wrong with that ? “ Kalpi asked “ nothing…..nothing…..ok I guess I’ll see you tomorrow “ Pakhi said, “ ok night “ Kalpi replied and hung up. Kalpi was wondering how is she going to convince Dadi to let her leave tomorrow, Kalpi was pacing back and forth on her balcony when and idea struck, smiling brightly she grabbed her duputta and made way to her Dadi’ kamara. When Kalpi came face to face with her Dadi’s bedroom door, her heart started to beat erratically, this is gonna work….it has to work she muttered under her breath. With a brave face she knocked the door.

Raghav could not sleep. He tried turning on his comfortable bed, but yet sleep could not succumb to him. Raghav just could not stop thinking about Kalpi, her performance was just beautiful that he could not get her out of his mind. Feeling stuffy, Raghav threw back his covers and made way to the bedroom entrance. He was just about to close the door when he heard another room door close , just then he could hear foot steps approaching his way, looking around the wall he saw Kalpi walking with a smile on her face. She was dressed in a simple white legenga choli with a gold border with a white duputta wrapped about her shoulders. She looked like an angel in the dim lighting. Her smile faded when she looked up and saw him peeping from behind a wall. They looked at each other for awhile until Kalpi broke the contact and made her way to her room. Before Kalpi could even pass him, Raghav grabbed her wrist, “ hatha chhodo “ Kalpi said, “ Not until you apologize “ Raghav said back. “ Let go “ Kalpi said again, as she was trying to break free from his grip, “ your hurting me ! let’ go “ Kalpi said desperately. When Kalpi felt Ragahv loosen his grip she broke free, but before she could even move, Raghav grabbed her again and backed her up against the wall. With his hands beside her head, Raghav looked at Kalpi with anger in his eyes. “ I’m still waiting. “ Raghav said is a dead tone. Kalpi was looking at Raghav, their bodies were so close not even a piece of paper could fit between them. “ Why should I ? I did not do anything wrong . “ Kalpi said, still looking at Ragahav dead in the eyes, “ You insulted me Ms. Jadhav. In my face you called me rude and arrogant “ Raghav replied back in a cold tone. “ I demand an apology “ Raghav said in a tight voice. Kalpi looked away from Raghav and smirked “ or what ? “ Kalpi asked challenging, “ Or I’ll make your life a living hell “ Raghav replied. Kalpi chuckled and his statement, Kalpi placed her hands on Raghav’s chest and moved closer to him. She looked seductively at him, bit her lips and smiled, then without give him a hint she pushed him away, “ I’ll like to see you try Mr. Singhania “ Kalpi smirked and walked away. Raghav looked as Kalpi walked away from him, feeling baffled  and burning mad, he clenched and unclenched his hands. “ this is not over Kalpi “ Raghav whispered as he made his way to his room.  

The next morning before dawn, Kalpi had her bags all packed and ready. Kalpi made her way downstairs and saw Dadi in the kitchen “ Dadi mujhe jana hoga “ Kalpi said, “ itna jaldi, have some food first before you go beti “ Dadi said concernedly, “ It’s ok Dadi, I’ll get something on the way “ Kalpi said as she hugged Dadi and left.  After loading her bag in the car, Kalpi took one last look at the house and got in. Smiling, she said “ till we meet again Mr. Raghav Singhanaia “.

Raghav woke up and made his way to the kitchen, “ Morning mom, morning Manju-ji “ Raghav said, “ ohh hho beta, please call me Dadi “ Manju said to Raghav, as she sat next to him at the table and looked around for Klpi. After last night encounter Raghav was still mad. “  Manju-ji Kalpi kaha hai ?? “ Gauri asked, “ Oh Kalpi, I’m sorry, she had so leave this morning for Mumbai “ Manju said. “ Leave ?? is something wrong ? “ Gauri asked again “ no nothing wrong, she just had to leave to help Pakhi “ Manju said smilingly. Ragahv became furious, how dare she….how dare she….leave like that………without informing me. This is not over Kalpana Jadhav this mean war Raghav said to himself.
