Chapter 20

Part 20

Days passed quickly and to kripa's surprise Angad kept his promise. He never came in her way. Just two days and they will be back in India. It was kripa's birthday today, and yes Sahil forgot her birthday. Whole day he was so irritated about the fact that so many people were calling kripa. She chuckled as sahil's irritated face came in front of her eyes. Now here she was walking alone on the beach and looking for Angad. He had called her at 10pm and it was already 10:30pm. Where the hell was he? Thought kripa.
Suddenly somebody picks her up by her waist and swings her in the air and there were fire crackers and with smoke, it was written in the sky "happy birthday kripa". Slowly he put her on her feet and whispered in her ears 'happy birthday kripa'. Kripa turned and hugged the man very tightly and said 'thank you Angad, thank you so much'. Kripa was really happy and touched by the fact that Angad still remembered her birthday, the fact that Sahil didn't wish her today no more bothered her. It was just her and Angad.
'This is just the beginning, lets go' said Angad.
He took her behind a big rock, where the decoration was done by blue and white balloons and candles. Slow music was playing and there was a table with white cloth on it. On the table there were rose petals, bottle of champion, two glasses, and a chocolate cake.
It was all just so beautiful for kripa to believe it. She was admiring the beauty when she saw a hand in front of her; she smiled and took his hand. They danced and danced. Right now she was just kripa, not anybody's wife, no body's daughter or daughter in law. Just kripa, angad's kripa. They had cake and champion then they danced again. She kept her head on his chest and soon was fast asleep. Angad was too mean to wake her up and let her go. So he laid her down on the sand and sat against the rock himself with her head on his lap.
Kripa opened her eyes and closed them again because of the sun, it was quite early, she sat up and realized that she had fallen a sleep, there was rarely anyone on the beach right now. She woke Angad up and they rushed back to the hotel.
Sahil was really very worried as she entered the room, he started shouting. 'do you have any sense of responsibility, I have been worried like hell, where the hell were you, u said you will be back in a hr, it morning now, I was freaking out kripa, who do you think you are, you were not even answering your calls'
Kripa got really scared and had tears in her eyes, she was some where guilty also 'I am sorry Sahil, actually I slept sitting on the rock, and I am really sorry'
He was about to start shouting again, when her cell rang, she picked it up.
'Hi birthday girl, sorry yaar didn't call you yesterday, belated happy birthday, ya by the way this is Prithvi'
'Ya I know, thanks'
'Hey hey hey, talk to Aaliya; she is snatching the phone from me'
'Hi Aaliya'
'Hi birthday girl, happy birthday'
'Thanks'
'Ok tell me who wished you first in the morning?'
'Aaliya you know that, who else can it be except your very own brother'
'Oh!...anyways, who did Sahil wish you?'
'He didn't, I mean he forgot'
'Did he? Oh my god, I am so sorry kripa'
'It's not your fault that Sahil forgot my birthday' she said looking at Sahil 'we will talk later'
And the line when dead.
'did you hear that Sahil, it was my birthday yesterday, and you forgot, you actually forgot my birthday, how could you, how come before marriage you used to remember each and every birthday of mine' she shouted 'the whole day, I waited for you to wish me but, but you didn't'.
Sahil had nothing to say 'I am sorry kripa, it just slipped out of my mind, I am sorry, ok tonight there is a mask party before that I will take you to shopping'.
'What do you think, I will forgive you for forgetting my birthday if you take me to shopping, then forget it' and she went inside the bathroom.
She went to shopping alone, as she was looking at the dresses, a sale's lady came and gave the a red halter neck dress with a note which read 'I wanna see you in this dress in the evening, I know you will like it and how much ever you don't wanna wear it, you still will, do I need to tell you my name?' god! Angad she thought, he was just too much. She found out that he had already paid for the dress.
In the evening she wore the dress, it came up to her knees, with high silver heels, diamond ear rings, her hair were tied up in a bun with a few strangs falling from it.

Hi everyone, I know I have taken a lot of time to update but I am sorry. By now all of you must have come to know how lazy I am. But all I can say sorry for making you all wait. I hope you people will enjoy.
