Chapter 9

Part: 8

Kripa is reading a book in her bedroom balcony having her ice-cream after dinner. Angad walked into his bedroom balcony and lit his cigarette. He saw Kripa and whistled. Kripa is annoyed but gave a fake smile at him.
"Kal Sunday hai na, movie chalengey?" he whispered as loudly as she can understand. Kripa is excited and agreed. Angad gestured he will call her as soon as he gets the tickets.
Kripa walked into her room after bidding goodnight to him. Angad finished his smoking and left into his room.
Around 2PM on Sunday Angad called Kripa for movie. Kripa got ready in cream with some floral designed chiffon halter neck knee length gown, strapped high heels with loose left hair and climbed Angad's bike. Both drove to the movie theater. Kripa leaned on him throughout the drive. Angad is feeling proud as he is able to manage his rival female member.
Kripa hurried him to take out the tickets and grabbed them from his pocket as soon as he put his fingers towards pant pocket. Angad thought she is too fast to handle.
"Thanks Angad! Tum jaldi park karkey aajaao mein andar jaati hoon. I want to watch movie from the beginning." She walked fast to the hall without waiting for him mentioning seat number to him..
Angad parked bike and entered the hall. It was dark and movie titles started rolling. He took his seat and dropped his hand around the woman beside him thinking it is Kripa. The woman angrily looked at him. Angad is startled to see a stranger beside him instead of Kripa. And other side of her is her husband. He looked angrily at Angad. Angad apologized for his mistake. Angad turned other side to see a person little over middle age. Angad smelled something wrong and checked surroundings.
All of sudden lights went on as all CLAWS got up and started dancing yelling Angad's name "Bechara Angad! Kahan gayi tumhari Kripa?"
Angad is shocked for unexpected insult and angrily looked around for Kripa.
"Angad! I'm here!" Kripa screamed from far behind standing hand to hand with Prithvi. Prithvi showed his finger and all his followers imitated him. Angad realized he was trapped and Kripa fooled him. He cursed himself for not informing any of his followers first time in his life. He is the only person from his group present there.
"Prithvi bought all seats Angad! You can watch the movie along with aunty and uncles" Kripa giggled while he is walking out.
Angad gave a glare to her and exited. Kripa and Prithvi clapped their hands as high-fy.
Monday morning Kripa is taking out her scooter and Angad took the back seat.
"Tum!" Kripa wanted to stop him.
"Chalo main kuch karoonga nahin" Angad assured but Kripa looked at him suspiciously.
"Acha I'll not come with you now Caf mein milogey? I have something to talk to you. Promise karo" Angad seriously asked.
Kripa thought for a while and shook her head.
"Theek paanch bhajey"Angad ordered and walked to his bike. Kripa shrug her shoulders and drove to college.
Angad is waiting when Kripa arrived at cafeteria in college premises. Angad gave angry stare at her and she raised eyebrows asking for the reason of his looks.
" It is 5:45, kabsey wait kar raha hoon" Angad grinned. Kripa smiled "Kahan Angad! meri watch to paanch bajey hi bata rahi hai" she held her left hand to show her time. Angad twisted his brows and checked her wrist watch.
Kripa smiled "Mein theek kaha na?" she asked with cheerful smile. Angad still grinned and Kripa tried to cheer him "chalo hum kissi aur sey bhi pooch letey. Kyon Sunil! What's time in your watch?" she asked one of the waiters in the cafeteria who came to their table.
The guy who is holding a coffee tray with snacks, couple of Tea cups and coffee cups turned his left hand to show his time tilting the tray towards Angad. All cups tilted and whole coffee, tea fell on Angad's pant burning his thighs. Angad got up and screamed "Hey! You! What did you do man?" he tried to sooth his pain and wiggled his legs and shirt.
Kripa burst into laughter and clapped with joy jumping around. "Theek hua tha na Angad? Tit for Tat kaisa laga? Kyon? Is it hotter than touching my thighs??" she winked at him crossing her hands and rolling her eyes. Angad understood it was Kripa's plan to ask the dumb waiter Sunil for time.
He heard some more laughers in cheer of wisdom and noticed CLAWS standing at all corners of the cafeteria teasing Angad. Kripa showed her thumbs up to Prithvi and jumping in joy. Sunil is also laughing standing near Anittah and others. Angad looked for his followers "Tumhara chamchey yahin nahin hai Angad! They went to bring some clothes for you" Prithvi tried to stop his laughter.
Angad gave some angry looks to Kripa and walked out.
