Chapter 52

Part: 51

Angad felt insulted when Kripa hung the phone and punched the steering with his fist. He was upset till evening and went to Misthy's house. Misthy as usual made some snacks and brought some beer for each other.
Angad finished three at one time and rested his head on headrest in the sofa groaning, stretching legs and rubbing his face with his palms. Misthy surprised for his behavior as he usually jovial and energetic. She sat besides him and caressed his biceps "Kya hua Angad! Looking tired!! Is everything okay? Did any project facing problems again?"
Angad didn't answer her but still covered his face with his palms. Misthy left him alone for sometime sipping her beer. She ordered food thinking no signs of him going out.
Angad sat straight after a few minutes and again drank half of beer at a time. Misthy is still watching him surprisingly. He looked at her straight and sighed lighting his cigarette. She brought an ashtray and put it on the center table. She is wondering as Angad never lit his cigarette inside the house.
"Office problem toh yuhi chutki mein solve kar deta hai but it should be personal problem, kya hua hoga?" she wondering for his unusual behavior.
After few minutes leaving him alone enjoying or releasing his tension through smoking she took his palms in her hands. "What happened, Angad? Don't you share with me? Any problem at work? Or client? Or…or ….at home? Is Kripa alright? Kuch serious jagada hua tha kya?"
Angad gave a stare at her and laughed faintly and shook his head as everything is fine. He finished another three bottles in five minutes and asked for whisky. Misthy brought one from inside and some ice in ice-box.
Angad lifted the bottle and finished half at time. Misthy is stunned and pulled the bottle from him. "Are you crazy? What happened to you today? Common, let me know it now. I'm not going to give you any more drinks unless you speak out." She yelled friendly at him.
Angad irritated "Nothing yaar!" he paused and stretched his hand to her to take the bottle. Misthy got up and took steps backward away from him holding the bottle.
He stared at her for a moment "Kripa mujhey chodkar chali gayi..humesha ke liye…iss baar… humesha ke liye.." he paused and thought in his mind "she warned me before if I hurt her she will leave me forever…but I did nothing wrong this time..I donno why she left" he looked at her and told her "chaligayi Nainital..apni dadi ke saat…sab mujehy daant rahey hai..they all finding fault with me only"
He got up and pulled the bottle from her and drank completely. Misthy is shocked and watched him silently. He fell asleep on the floor in no time before Misthy could stop him.
Misthy wondered for his talk "Kripa chali gai? How? Why? What was happening between them? I thought they love each other but what is this all of sudden??? Mistake by Angad? How?" she checked him lying on the floor.
Her food is delivered and she requested the carrier boy to help her to carry Angad inside. They pulled Angad to the bedroom and placed him on the bed.
Misthy paid big tip to the carrier boy and cleaned the living room. She also lay on the bed beside Angad.
Middle of the night Angad pulled Misthy closer and muttered, "Kripa! Darling!! My Tattoo! Mat jaao meri jaan. Wapas aajao. I never fight with you. I never yell at you. Please aajaao." He pulled Misthy closer and hid his face on her chest and kissed her throat. Misthy startled at his action and stopped him from moving upwards to take her lips. She made him sleep straight and caressed his forehead, cheeks and chest "It's ok Angad! You are fine. Nothing happened. Cool down. Go to sleep!!" she whispered as he doesn't notice her real voice. Angad smiled opening half eyes "maaf kardiya? ThanQ, Tattoo!" he turned and hugged her neck and pulled her onto his chest. Misthy circled her left hand around his back and caressed from neck to waist and made him sleep.
Once he slept Misthy got up and watched him. "So, something serious happened between these two!! What would it be? He always tells how much he loves his wife and admired Kripa from college days!! Then why are these differences? I too loved so many boys none of them loved me as much as I expected. All are money minded; they need my body but not heart. But Angad is not money minded, and then was Kripa?" She sighed and slept in the sofa.
