After a week in Gujarat, Raghav, Kalpi, Sammy and Pakhi were all back in Mumbai and back to work. Raghav paced his office and thought “ what am I going to say to Kalpi “. “ Raghav….” Sammy said as he entered Raghav’s cabin “ Sammy, any news yet ? “ Raghav asked, “ Yes…Brian has found more information. Raghav I think we better leave soon “ Sammy said. “ How am I going to tell Kalpi “ Raghav said frustrated and he sat down heavily on the sofa, “ Raghav…this is Kalpi. I’m sure she will understand and will want the best for you “ Sammy said and he looked at Raghav. “ Have you told Pakhi yet ? “ Raghav asked, shanking his head Sammy replied “ No….but I will tonight. I know it’s hard, and we are getting married soon, but this is important as well “ Sammy said sadly. Raghav nodded, looked up and sighed.

Kalpi was in the cafeteria when Raghav walked in. She smiled and saw him coming towards her. “ Hi “ Raghav said in a small voice. Kalpi frowned at Raghav’s welcome “ Raghav….what’s wrong ? “ Kalpi asked as she put down her book. “ Nothing….” Raghav said and hug his head low. “ Raghav…you know you can tell me anything…what’s wrong ? “ Kalpi asked again, Raghav held her hands and looked at her. He gently kissed her fingers and said “ Promise you won’t leave “ Raghav asked, “ Leave ??  Raghav “ Kalpi tried again, “ promise Kalpi…please “ Raghav pleaded, Kalpi sighed and placed her hands on his and said said “ I promise “. Raghav gave a small smile, but before he could tell her, his phone rang, “ Hello…yes….really….ok….I’ll call you soon “ Raghav said and hung up. “ I have to go “ Raghav said as he got up and left the cafeteria, Kalpi watched him leave and thought “ Something is wrong…..but what ? “.

“ Sammy has been acting weird all day “ Pakhi said as she came at sat beside Kalpi in the cafeteria. “ Same as Raghav…..” Kalpi replied, “ Really….what’s wrong with them today ? “ Pakhi mumbled. “ That’s what I’ll like to know “ Kalpi thought and looked at the cafeteria entrance again.

Kalpi was in front of Raghav’s Villa. She paced a little and decided to ring the doorbell. Sammy opened the door a few seconds later, he looked sad and helpless , “ Pakhi told me “ Kalpi said, nodding his head sadly, he asked “ is she ok ? “, “ not really….she’s still quite upset with the whole thing “ Kalpi said, “ I don’t know what to do Kalpi….” Sammy said sadly as he hung his head, “ Go and see her, before you leave. It’s important for her. She’s at home “ Kalpi said smiling and pushed Sammy “ Go “, Sammy nodded and got into his car and drove off. Kalpi saw Sammy drive off and smiled, she quietly closed the door and headed upstairs towards Raghav’s bedroom. Kalpi quietly opened Raghav’s room and saw that he was sitting on the bed with his face in his hands. “ Raghav…..” Kalpi whispered. Raghav looked up in shock “ Kalpi…..” and stood, Kalpi ran to him and hugged him. Raghav hugged Kalpi back. After some time she broke away, and looked at him. The Raghav Singhania who she knew who was always so devilish handsome in office, now looked disheveled and helpless. “ Pakhi told me…is it true ? “ Kalpi asked, nodding, Raghav let Kalpi go and looked out his window, Kalpi watched him and smiled and went beside him “ I think that’s great new Raghav…..now you can find your closure “ Kalpi said as she squeezed Raghav’s arm encouraging him “ I’m just scared “ Raghav whispered still looking out . “ Scared of what Raghav ? “ Kalpi asked, “ To find what I was looking for all this time “ Raghav replied. Kalpi unfolded his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist “ Don’t be. “ Kalpi said as she look Raghav’s face and turned his head towards her. “ I’m scared of losing you Kalpi…..” Raghav said and hugged her, Kalpi hugged Raghav tighter and said “ You won’t loose me….ever “. “ How long does the process take ? “ Kalpi asked, “ One month…I have to be in New York for one month “ Raghav said sadly. Nodding her head Kalpi looked up “ Then go. Go and conquer it, then come back to me. I’ll will be praying for you every single day “ Kalpi said as a tear ran down her cheek and smiled. Raghav kissed her forehead and said “ I will always comeback to you “.
