Kripa looks at Prithvi angriliy then leaves the room, she bumps into Gayatri, Kripa sees the hurt in her eyes and holds Gayatri's hands

 

K - mama I'm sorry, I never meant for you to find out like this

G - just leave

K - I'll be back.....to marry Prithvi

 

Kripa leaves the house and heads back to the Khanna house, she thinks about all her good times with Angad. She arrives at the Khanna house and goes inside, she goes to Angad's room and he is sitting on the bed talking to someone on the phone, Kripa sits by him quietly

 

A - Swayam I don't care what happened.....you have to get bhaiya out of jail.....look just do whatever you can...call me when you find a way....bye

 

Angad hangs up and hugs Kripa, he rests his head on her shoulder

 

A - that was Swayam, he said the police came to him and he had to give bhaiya's name but he's trying to find a way out of all of this.

K - there is a way Angad

 

Angad lets Kripa go, she stands up and faces the other way so she doesn't have to look into his eyes

 

K - I went to see Prithvi, he's the reason Sujal got sent to jail

A - what did he say?

K - that if we want Sujal to get out of jail....I have to marry him

A - well its a good thing Swayam's finding a way out of this

K - I said yes...

A - what?

K - I agreed to marry him for Sujal and Kashish Di's sake

 

Angad holds Kripa's arm and turns her around to face him

 

A - no Kripa, we'll find another way out of this I won't let you marry him

K - this is the only way Angad! Sujal just got married, I don't want be responsible for ruining his marriage by him getting sent to jail and I not doing anything about it when clearly there is a way

A - no Kripa....anything but...

 

Kripa holds Angad's face in her hands

 

K - I'm sorry Angad.....but I've made my decision, I'm leaving today and going back to my family

A - Kripa....

 

Kripa steps back and begins to pack all her stuff

 

K - tell Sujal and Kashish Di I'm sorry for all the trouble, tell aunty and uncle I'm sorry for leaving without telling them

 

Kripa is crying and packing while saying this

 

K - tell Kavya and Anjali Di to go on their honeymoon and not to worry about anything happening here, tell Lakshya to hurry up and get a girlfriend, and.....take care of yourself

 

Kripa zips up her bag and faces Angad, she leans forward to kiss him but he turns his face, Kripa kisses his cheek instead, she heads out the door and takes another look at him and his room before heading downstairs. Lakshya sees her by the door

 

L - Kripa...Kripa where are you going?

K - back home to my family

L - but...I thought we were family?

K - you are Lakshya, and you always will be

 

Lakshya looks at her speachless, Kripa gives him a hug and kisses his cheek softly

 

K - take care of your brother, he needs you right now

 

Kripa turns to leave when he feels someone holding her hand, she thinks its Lakshya

 

K - Lakshya let go please...

A - its not Lakshya

 

Kripa turns to face Angad, he's holding a photo in his hand, he passes it to Kripa

 

A - for you....to remember us by....to remember you were always a part of our family and to remind you that you always will be and our doors will always be open for you

 

Kripa feels choked up, she wants to hug Angad but doesn't, she looks at the photo and it was one taken on the day of Naina's birthday where everyone was having a family photogrpah taken and Naina had insisted Kripa stand with them, she held it close to her then put it in her bag and turned to leave, Angad sat on the stairs watching her

 

L - bhaiya stop her....bhaiya don't just sit there..

 

Lakshya turns to go after her but Angad holds his arm and makes Lakshya sit next to him

 

A - let her go

 

Lakshya looks at his brother who has tears rolling down his cheek

 

A - she's made up her mind.....nothing we say will change it....

L - bhaiya

A - its over Lucky......everything....

 

Angad looked at Lakshya and hugged him

 

A (crying) - I loved her so much .......but it wasn't enough

L - bro this isn't your fault....

 

Angad pulls away from lakshya and goes upstairs and slams his door shut, Lakshya goes after him but Angad has locked the room, Lakshya wonders what to do. Meanwhile Kripa arrives to her mom's house, her mom lets her in

 

G - Prithvi told us you are marrying him now

K - yes mom....where is he?

G - in the living room with your dad

K - ok

 

Kripa went in to the living room and stood by her dad, he smiled and hugged her

 

Su - I'm happy you've changed your mind and decided to marry Prithvi

K - Prithvi I need to talk to you

P - sure

 

Prithvi follows Kripa in to another room

 

K - there I have agreed to marry you....now free Sujal

P - patience Kripa

K - NO! I left everything for you! cut the crap and free him now or I swear I will kill you!

P - calm down Kripa.....ok I'll free him

 

Prithvi takes his phone out and calls the police station, he puts the phone on speaker so Kripa can hear as well

 

P - yes, I am Prithvi Bose and I want to take my case back

Po - so shall we let Sujal Khanna go?

P - yes please

 

Prithvi hangs up and smiles at Kripa

 

P - happy

K - good

 

Kripa leaves the room and takes her things to her room upstairs while Prithvi smiles to himself

 

P (thinks) - I won, Angad....Kripa was and always will be mine

 

coming up - a very depressed Angad, Sujal free from jail
