Ek mutthi Aasman- lucky number three

Untitled Part 9

Raghav stops his daughter from entering her room. He told her how disappointed he was at her, and that he doesn't know who she is anymore. Aadita on the other hand was looking down, with tears in her eyes. Raghav continuously continue to scold her for disrespecting him and for going with kalpi. 

Aadita tried to explain herself, but raghav cut her of, saying he doesn't want to listen to her. "I mean you didn't even inform anyone where you were going" he says seriously before adding "are you mad, Aadita. I thought your mom and I raised you better than this" he says bringing tears to his daughter eyes.

Aadita mumbled something under hear breath, which raghav didn't hear, "what did you say Aadita" he says, she bold her first and looks at him " I...If...M...mom...Was here, she would have listen" she says angering raghav " and I don't" he says, Aadita shook her head, before going on about how he never get the time to understand her. Ever since mom died, you've ignored me, you don't show me love like mom use to do, she says. "This is why" she says more calmly before taking a deep breath to collect herself. "This is why, I wish mom was here, instead of you", when Aadita said this raghav was a little hurt. He look at his daughter face, which reminds him of his wife a lot, before getting angry.

He wasn't angry because of her words, he was angry because looking at his daughter re-opens the fresh wound and memories he tried so hard to forget. "ENOUGH!" he says louder than intended, "I've had enough of your drama, for one day." "Now you will go downstairs and apologize" he says, while they were talking, raghav was unaware of kalpi listening. She was surprised and angry at raghav "Now hold on a minute, mr.singhania" she says forgetting the fact that she didn't call him Bhai. Both parties turn to look at her, but she didn't care. She kneel infront of Aadita and wipe her tears before  asking if she was ok. When Aadita nod her head, she got up and turn to raghav "how can you make your own daughter cry like this. Don't you know she's hurt" she says

"This is none of your busyness kalpi" 

"it is my busyness, when my friend is hurt" when kalpi said this, Aadita was surprise.

"if anything kalpi, you are a maid. And as a maid, your job is to take care of the house, not be friendly with my daughter" he says now coming closer to her.

Kalpi not backing down glares at him " I can be friendly with  who ever I want mr singhania, and from what I've heard so far you are very cold hearted and selfish. I feel bad for your wife priya, who had to deal with you. She must be happy now, that she's not married to you anymore" she says, but quickly cover her mouth when she realize her mistake. Me and my big mouth, why did I say that, she thought looking at him, raghav knitted his brows together staring dagger at her, he grab her hand squeezing the life out of it, which hurt kalpi.

"What did you say" he says, kalpi wince in pain, but raghav didn't care "how do you know my wife" he says adding more pressure to her hand. Kalpi cried feeling her veins almost popping out, she yells telling him to let go, but he refuses. "I...I don't know her" she says

"Then how do you know her"

"I heard about her from your mom" , when she said this raghav became confuse. Why would my mom, talk about priya to a stranger, he thought confuse. Aadita seeing her friend turning pale, tells her dad to let her go. This snaps him from his thoughts, he look at kalpi and quickly let her hand go, like she was fire. When he did kalpi fainted, causing Aadita to cry for her.

when kalpi woke up the next day, she saw raghav sitting on the chair. Giving her a heart attack for a second. He ignored her and told her to follow him, this confuses her "I didn't wash up yet" she says, but raghav didn't care, he told her if she doesn't meet him outside than he will come get her. After he said that he left, this made kalpi angry. She imitates him before getting up, while getting up she realize her hand was bandaged, and that it still hurt. When she was done, she went to meet raghav by the car. He told her to get in and she did, when she did, she had a hard time putting her seat belt on. When raghav saw this, he roll his eyes telling her to hurry up.

"I'm trying, but my hand still hurts" she says, raghav getting impatient, came closer to her, making her back hit the seat. She blushed at how close they were, and turn her face to avoid looking at him. He reach over, touching her hand by mistake. Making her heart skip, before looking at her with a poker face. Kalpi close her eyes out of nervousness, holding the belt handle tighter to herself. "Kalpi" raghav says calmly

When she didn't respond he sighs before saying her name again. Kalpi could feel the heat from his breath warming her face. Omg, is he going to do what the people from the movie did, she thought suddenly imagining her and raghav kissing. She turned fifty shades of tomatoes when she thought about it "N..N..NO" she says embarrassed, she opens her eyes to meet raghav confuse eyes. This made her nervous " y-you cant, do this" " I mean I don't see you that way" she says. Raghav understanding scuffs " I just wanted you to let go of the belt" he says plainly

Embarrassed she lets go of the belt while her head was down. Raghav puts her seat belt on, before going back to his seat. Before he start the engine he told her that she was a very scary women, to think that he would do that to her. Then he went on about how, ugly she was, and he would never touch her in a million years. Hearing these words, trigger an emotion in kalpi, but she ignored it. The ride was fill with silent, well that was until they reached a very familiar place. "What are we doing here" she says

Raghav stops the car and took his keys out "isn't it obvious, I'm giving you back to them" he says, surprising her.
