Chapter 33

Part:32

Kartik took Shabbir, Aaliyah, Angad and Kripa to a fashion show on eve of their honeymoon.
Kripa wore a white and blue butterfly style sari with matching blue designed blouse, with simple pearl set. Aaliyah for first time wore a light pink work sari on Shabbir's request. Angad praised her beauty and so did Kripa. All took a table and the show started. Angad is swallowing for each beautiful woman showing their designed pieces. Kripa observed him from the corner of eyes and surprised for his passion "Yeh kya Angad sab ke saat aisi hi behave karta hai? No wonder, he doesn't like to choose any girl as wife."
Angad bent on her to whisper in her ear a comment on a sleek, beautifully well shaped woman with black chiffon transparent skirt with a tight underneath up to thighs with a cream silk camisole with black lining underneath with beads hanging all over the two piece dress "Aisi ladki kaisi lagegi mere saat?"
Kripa dropped her jaw and looked into his eyes and he blinked his eyes at her big eyes. She gulped and whispered back "You have to bodyguard her 24/7" she chuckled and put her left hand on her mouth to stop blush and laughter. Angad rolled his tongue and pierced his eyes on her. All other three wondered at them but thought some sweet nothings are going on.
Angad started playing with Kripa's legs till the show ended. Kripa tried to escape from him couldn't succeed since hardly there is any space for her to move away from him.
They went out after the show ending to a pub located next to the venue of the event. They enjoyed Kartik's spontaneous jokes throughout their drinks and munching. "Acha Kripa1 yeh batao how did you like the show?" Kripa stared into Angad eyes "I enjoyed."
Shabbir raised his eyebrows at Angad and Aaliyah too surprised for her chuckling. Angad too chuckled remembering Kripa's comment and explained about their conversation. "OH God! How could a husband and wife have such conversation? You are so open Kripa!" Kartik appreciated her sportive spirit. Kripa looked shyly at Angad. Kartik apologized with his usual jovial style for spoiling Angad.
"It's okay Mamajee! I know Angad before you spoilt him" Kripa blushed remembering their college days. Angad pressed her head in friendly way.
Shabbir and Aaliyah conveyed best wishes to Angad and Kripa for honeymoon.
Angad came into bed room after an hour discussions with Kartik of things to be done in his absence.
Kripa already fell asleep turned other side of bed by that time and Angad whispered in Kripa's ears bending on her "Did I hurt you? I was just joking."
Kripa shook head without opening her eyes "I took it easy. It's okay. Actually I'm happy for you opening your mind in front of me. I thought you don't talk to me at all."
Angad smiled and bid goodnight. Kripa also relieved for some reason for him not touching her "Is this fear/ hesitation? Why I'm relieved when he didn't touch me?" she again blushed in her mind thinking about honeymoon "Dekhtey hai, if we come over this hesitation."
Angad turned his eyes on Kripa. He can see only her back. He strongly felt to cuddle her but stopped his desire with some hesitation. He sighed under breath "will see if I could love her next few days" A cheer came on his face thinking about honeymoon "Only we two together!!" His heart is pounding to be alone with her away from home.
Morning around 7 Angad and Kripa left for Airport to leave for Coimbatore.
They met a newly married Tamilian couple, Manan and Tanjee in the flight. Both Angad and Manan shared many views about current market in computers as they both work on similar projects. His parents live in Coimbatore. Kripa and Tanjee made friendship. Tanjee helps her husband in his business.
Manan surprised to know that Angad is also going to Ooty. He explained about Ooty and advised him to take toy train to enjoy the unique experience.
Ooty also known as Udhagamandalam is the "Queen of hill stations" and the capital of Nilgiris district in Tamilnadu. It is one of the most popular tourist resorts in South India. Nilgiris means "Blue Mountains". It is a land of picturesque picnic spots. Used to be popular summer and weekend getaway for the Britishers during the colonial days
They have to take train in Mettupalayam, the foothills to Ooty from where a meter gauge train will take all over to Ooty. This train starts at 7:45 every morning and it takes four hours to reach 89km distance to Ooty coz of the maximum speed of the train is 33-km per hour.
This rail system is unique because it uses the Alternate Biting System (ABT) or the rack and pinion system. A special toothed-rack rail is mounted on the sleepers between the running rails. The train is fitted with cog wheels that mesh with the rack rail. From Coonoor, where actual hill starts, to Udhagamanadalam, it runs on a non-rack system.
It traverses 16 tunnels, 26 bridges, with one big viaduct over the Bhavani. These are indeed feats of engineering, as they merge with Nature — never incongruous, never unattractive. Normally, train has the engine in the front. But this train has the engine at the tail end when climbing. This is because it has to push the train up. And while descending the engine is in front making sure that the train comes down gradually.
Angad and Kripa are excited to know more about the toy train and the history of Ooty and also decided to spend time together with Manan couple.
After two hours of flight they reached Coimbatore. In Coimbatore airport a taxi was waiting for Angad and Kripa with their name tag to take them to resort in Ooty. Angad asked the taxi driver to leave as he decided to go to Ooty by train. The taxi driver told that from Coimbatore to Mettupalayam is one hour drive by road and he will drop Angad and Kripa at Mettupalayam in the morning. Manan invited Angad and Kripa to his house in Copimbatore to stay night so that they can catch train in the morning.
Angad and Kripa agreed and went to his house in the taxi. Angad and Kripa enjoyed Manan's family's hospitality with traditional Tamil food and drinks. Whole night everyone enjoyed with different Tamil songs and dances. Manan's parents requested Angad and Kripa to drop again on way back. They packed some home food for them since the train journey takes five hours to reach the destination.
Morning 7 both young couples reached Mettupalyam train station. The taxi driver reassured that he will pick them in Ooty railway station.
Mettupalayam Railway Station has broad gauge tracks on one side and meter gauge tracks on other side of the station. The charming Nilgiri Hill Railway, blue and cream with wooden coaches and large windows, is widely regarded as a marvel of engineering. Angad is excited to travel in the wooden train as he never been experienced such travel.
Both couple met another 6pairs of newly wedded couple in their compartment. One of them are Kanan and Nishant Saxena who is basically from States. Kanan works in Coimbatore as computer software engineer and Nishant wanted to see the south hill station.
In an hour all 8 couples became good friends. Everyone shared their experience of wedding; how they met, how they got engaged, how they got married, how they enjoyed first night,first kiss, first touch, what not everything about only them..
Two of them didn't get to have first night immediately after marriage..one at same night.
Manan yelled "arey yaar aap toh lucky hai, meri khadoos sasur toh pura ek week wait karwadiya tha" Tanjee smiled with blush nudging him.
Kanan smiled "hum bhi ek hafta wait kiya tha , Nishant ki dadi ka tabiyat kharb hua tha shadi ki raat and we all waited for her to recover." Nishant hugged her with one hand looking longingly at Kanan.
"Tumhara haal kya hai bhai?" Manan asked Angad and Angad looked at Kripa for an answer. Kripa blushed. "We had our first kiss five years ago and still waiting for second one." Kripa blushed and walked to look out from window. The doors are kept open to enjoy more the beauty of the scenario outside.
Everyone surprised and asked him the reason for it. Angad briefly explained about how they got married and how they got first opportunity to be alone now only after marriage.
"Then you should have gone by car than taking this toy train" Manan felt sorry for him.
Angad smiled "No, Manan! We are enjoying this journey with you all.
Everyone shared coffee and snacks brought from respective homes. Angad and Kripa enjoyed their typical homely south food.
Tanjee has a good voice and sang couple of songs. Manan also joined her sometimes(Remember you are in Tamilnadu..you hardly et to hear hindi...get to know Tamil version of hindi songs...)

Sandai Kozhi (Yuva song in hindi version)

Angad longingly watched Kripa. She is enjoying watching the tea plantation outside like a small girl. He slowly walked to her and cuddled his hands around her waist and rested his chin on her right shoulder. Kripa closed her eyes and touched her cheek with his. Angad tightened his cuddle. Kripa moaned softly and caressed his right hand with her left while her right hand holding his left elbow on her waist. Angad had goosebumps all over his body for her soft delicate touch and softly whispered in her ear "don't do that kuch ho raha hai. Yahan train mein rooms bhi nahin hai". Kripa's face became red and left him to go other side of the compartment.
All other couples are also swinging in each other hands caressing their partners and roaming in some other world. Kanan is leaning half of her body on Nishant and Nishant caressing her strands on her forehead.
Tanjee singing melodiously caressing Manan's forehead while he is lying in her lap closing his eyes as mesmerized for her song.

snehidhane (Saathiya-hindi version)

Nishant laughed and asked Angad "kya kardiya Angad? Kripa jee root gayi hai?"
Angad smiled at Kripa as she turned her face on Nishant's comment. Angad gestured with hand to come to him. Kripa blushed and shook her head and turned her face away. Everyone sighed loudly giggling.
Tanjee is still singing melodiously.
Angad slowly walked to Kripa and held her waist from behind and kissed her neck. Everyone screamed at him and Manan commented "Arey bhai yeh aurat bhi na pyar mein itna root jaatey hai humesha mardon ko hi manana padta hai."
Angad tightened closer at his comment "I don't mind if you rule me, Kripa!" Kripa closed her eyes at his comment as sweet tremble ran over her spine. Angad looked into her eyes and she met her eyes with his. "mere dil pe raaz karogi?" Blood flew into her face and she turned his side to hide her face into his neck. Angad circled her hands around his neck and ran his arms around her waist and hid his face into her hair.
Everyone clapped and men whistled "hum aankhein close karlengey, Angad! You can have your first night here"
"I want our first night in a special way..only we too..alone.." he whispered in her ears as his warm breath filling her body.
