Kripa reached safely to New York where Prithvi currently running his business. Damini and Prithvi warmly received her and took home. Damini enquired about Suryaban and Gayatri's health.
Bose house is an independent house with four bedrooms and attached bathrooms. Kripa is given a room for her own and provided all facilities for her convenience. Damini and Prithvi spent two days with Kripa and Prateek. Third day Prithvi took Kripa to his work and introduced to all of his employees-cum-colleagues and praised about Kripa's talents in music, art and martial arts. Many of his employees showed interest in her talents and voluntarily offered to teach their kids as long as she lives in US.
Prithvi excited and advised Kripa while having dinner "So, Kripa! You got a job. You can start immediately teaching the kids and you don't need any official permits for that and you can start in our basement. That will be privately yours."
Damini also encouraged as she forgets her past and divert her mind quickly on these things, "Kripa! Pehley yeh shuru toh karo. Prateek ke saat saat tumhara bhi mann behel jaayegi. And meanwhile we get permit for you to join our company."
Kripa agreed and showed interest as she can brush again on her talents. She called her parents and Dadi to inform about her present job.
Dadi informed Aaliyah after a week when she called about Kripa and told to convey to Angad only when he insists her for it. Aaliyah smiled "Dadi! Aap ye mujhey kehney ki jaroorat nahin. Jab Angad realizes her need then I will inform him."
Next day since it is weekend, five of Prithvi's employees came to his house to join their kids in Kripa's teaching. Kripa agreed to take one class per week.
Angad tried to contact Prithvi but he changed his old number. Angad always got to talk to his assistant when he called his work. Prithvi, somehow, guessed that Angad will chase Kripa until he gets her back into his life. After all he knew him from college. Angad guesses that Dadi knows everything and even his father Dilip knows about Kripa's whereabouts. Naina is keep taunting now and then whenever she gets to see Angad leisurely at home. Angad is spending more time now in the office and nights in the pub.
Since Shabbir got married he is spending less time with Angad. Kartik came to know about Kripa and ordered Misthy to come back to London.
Now Angad became alone everywhere. He tried to concentrate on his work now and dedicated to it completely. Every woman's companionship is now reminding him Kripa and her last words. He immediately tries to reach her by calling her but gets no response.
After two weeks Nishant came to know about Kripa and came to meet her in Prithvi's house. Kanan and Nishant are happy for Kripa as she started doing something immediately. Nishant offered to open an institute for all classes she could offer. Prithvi, Damini also liked the idea and Kripa excited for his help.
He bought a retail shop and inaugurated with big bang as Kripa the manager, Kanan the owner as Kripa has no permanent resident's status. Kripa named the institute "Soul Academy" which offers classes in dance, music, instrumental and vocal, karate. Kripa decided to take all classes in different timings for an hour per each class, from 11 to 5 on weekends. She offered special appointments on weekdays whenever necessary and whoever needs. Damini stays home on weekends to take care of Prateek and Kripa takes him to work whenever she has special appointments. Prithvi is also giving some work to do at her leisure time.
Kripa is happy for her talents getting recognition and now she has 50 students in two month lapse. Kripa now has a fixed income.
Prithvi proposed for a grand party for Prateek's first birthday but Kripa refused as she remembering Angad. Damini scolded affectionately and advised not to punish the little baby for it.
Before Prithvi and Damini arranged a party, all Kripa's students at Soul Academy arranged a surprise party in grand manner. Kripa moved for their affection and gave them a party from her side. Kripa sent pictures to Aaliyah and Dadi, and her parents. Aaliyah didn't share them yet with Angad. But Angad remembered his first anniversary and bought gifts for Prateek though not posted for him.
One day, after a month, Kripa got a weird client who wanted his daughter to join the institute especially the karate classes. He is 6ft tall, well built, bounces back and forth while talking. He introduced himself as JOSH, the international rockstar.
"HI! Kripa Khanna! I'm Josh, international rockstar. We live in Long Island. My wife works with Bose electronics, and this is my lovely princess, Sur, naam hi kaafi hai. She loves music, singing, and she wants to learn karate to protect herself from bad boys (he laughed loudly for his daughter's intelligence). She knows her father is a big rockstar (he showed himself with two hands) and I have no time to take care of family personal things. (twisted his lips proudly)Her mother, I mean my beloved wife, Sheetal is busy in her work. Now Sur is learning to take care of herself (he kissed the little pride girl beside him) I wanna join her in dance, music, karate, whatever you teach here. Today I came to introduce her and from next week Sheetal comes with her."
Kripa pasted smile on her lips throughout and finished the formalities for Sur's admission.
"Thanks for admission," Josh shook Kripa's hand and left giving instructions to Sur as Sheetal comes to pick her up after classes. "No problem, Daddy! I take care of myself. You rock!!" Sur proudly waved her hand to Josh.
Kripa took a deep breath once he left the institute. She realized Sur has really good gifted voice and it is no wonder she and her father is proud of her. Sur grasped everything easily she learnt on first day. Kripa is quite impressed about her but afraid to face Josh again.
Six months passed in no time:
Kripa put her hand on heart as wondering how she managed six months without Angad. She took his photograph in her hands that night and hugged to her chest "Ek baar bhi main yaad nahin aayi? Ek phone bhi karney ko mann nahin kiya? Have you forgotten me completely?"
She called Dadi as it is morning time for them. Dadi is pleased to know about her success and courage to take care of herself. Kripa hesitated to ask about Angad and Dadi didn't raise his topic on purpose though she noticed the hesitation in Kripa's voice. "Aur tadapaney do donon ko, tab yakein ayega alag rehna asaan kaam nahin hai" she tought affectionately about her beloveds.
Kripa cursed herself for closing all paths to reach Angad. She is craving to hear his voice and learn about him. She called Aaliyah and spoke for half an hour. She couldn't directly enquire about Angad and Aaliyah also didn't reveal anything about him. "Okey Aaliyah! Mein rakhti hoon, phir kabhi phone karoongi. Keep in touch. Convey my regards to Shabbir." Aaliyah felt bad for her disappointed voice "Kripa! Angad ko miss kar rahey ho?" Kripa silently dropped two drops of tears. Aaliyah understood her silence "Ageley hafte call karo, I will arrange him here. Tum baat karney ki jaroorat nahin hai but you can hear his voice." Kripa thanked her and Aaliyah laughed "Pagli!!"
That evening Angad is drinking alone as usual in the pub near the counter deeply immersed in his thoughts. Aaliyah and Shabbir dropped their hands together on his shoulder. Angad shocked for their sudden presence "Hey guys! What's up? After a long time. Yahan kaisey?" he sniffed to stop his tears in the corner of eyes. Aaliyah and Shabbir both noticed his tears in pain as he remembering Kripa and gestured silently at each other.
"Haan, Busy they. Tum kaisey ho, Angad? Kahin milney ki mouka hi nahin mili" Aaliyah took a seat opposite to Angad. Shabbir took a beer and settled on other side to Angad. "Mouka? Mujhey milney ke liye abb mouka ki jarroorat padhi tujhey?" Angad laughed faintly slapping on her cheek playfully. Aaliyah offended as she stopped communication with him after Kripa left him. "Aisi baat nahin hai.." she is searching for words and Shabbir supported her "she is busy, abb maa jo banney wali hai, uski asar bhi hai health par".
Aaliyah thanked Shabbir for rescuing her and Angad congratulated both of them. "Angad! Iss kusi mein iss weekend mere ghar ajana. Ek party rakhi mein. I invited very few people, tum, harshini-raj, Manek-anita. Aaogey na?" Aaliyah pleadingly asked him. Angad shook his head as agreed.
Kripa impatiently counted each and every minute to reach the time Aaliyah gave to her to call for Angad.
While everyone reached in time at Aaliyah's house Kripa called Aaliyah. Aaliyah kept her on mute and left the receiver on side table near sofa where no one could notice it. Harshini, Anita teasing Aaliyah and Angad is smiling at them. He hardly spoke anything as he badly missing Kripa in the party. "khaash who bhi hota kitni kushi hoti. I'm remembering her again?? Da** I miss her badly" Aaliyah noticed his uneasiness and took him near the sofa so that Kripa could hear his voice clearly. Kripa is impatiently waiting to hear him. "Kya hua Angad! You are so silent? Kuch toh kaho." Angad smiled "aisi kuch baat nahin hai, Aaliyah! Just missing Kripa! Wo kaisi hogi?"
"Baat kyon nahin karleti? You should call her, right? Do you have her number?"Aaliyah ignited his feelings.
Kripa mumbled her number as if she is giving her number to him. Angad sighed "Na, Aaliyah mein kyon call karoonga? Wo chupkar chali gayi thi. Ek baar daantliya hota. I don't have to call her. She didn't even give me a chance for explanation." He hid the secret of his trying to call her several times but in vein and tried to hide his feelings under anger.
Kripa sobbed silently at his unchanged notion. "pura galati meri hai, I should have bashed him on face. Yeh nahin kiya na issiliye aaj hi mujhey kasurvar kehraha hai. I teach you a lesson, Angad! Bataoongi kaisa dard hota hai jab apnon ney kissi gair ke saat rista jodtey hai." She wiped her tears and decided not to crave for him anymore.
