Chapter 29

Previously

 

P - are you ok? you've been in the room since we got back from the party?

K - yeah i'm fine....just tired, i'm going to sleep, goodnight

 

Kripa shuts the door and wonders how to get out of the house the next day to see Angad

 

Kripa paces her room wondering how to sneak out, its now 6PM and she has only an hour to get out of the house and meet Angad, she feels time is going to slip out of her hands but fate knocks on her door as her phone rings, she answers and is saved by her best friend Sahil

 

Sa - dude hows it going?

K - ok....i'm so glad you called, i've missed talking to you, how have you been?

Sa - great.....and you?

K - ok....listen I need a favour

Sa - name it

K - I'm going to sneak out to meet Angad, I need you to be in your car at the bottom of my road at 6:45PM, can you do that?

Sa - sure, i'll be there, Kripa....be careful

K - thanks hun

 

Kripa hangs up, she goes outside her room and sees Prithvi in his room on the phone to someone about the catering for the wedding, she goes downstairs where both her parents are discussing the invitation list with Nishant. She smiles to herself as everyone is so wrapped in the wedding preperations no one will know she has gone, Kripa heads to the front door when she feels someone tugging on her dupatta, she slowly turns around only to breathe a sigh of relief to see it stuck in a table, she manages to free it loose and slowly opens the front door, slips out and slowly shuts the door. She runs to bottom of the street and as promised Sahil was waiting in his car, she knocked on the window and he opens the door letting her in, Kripa not only hugs him but also kisses his cheek

 

Sa - what was that for?

K - for being you

 

Sahil smiles

 

Sa - where to?

K - the park

Sa - hmm weird meeting place but ok

 

Sahil starts the engine and drives to the park. Kripa sees Angad leaning against a tree, she tells Sahil to wait and gets out, she walks to Angad and stands behind him

 

K - so you want to elope to Figi?

 

Angad turns around and smiles at her

 

A - you figured it out?

K - did you doubt me?

A - no, not even for a second

K - but how did you know Prithvi hasn't seen your gift?

A - one...because you're here, two..even if he did see it he wouldn't understand anything and pass it off as mere memories of us both and three....I knew you wouldn't allow anyone else to open the gift other than yourself

K - you know me so well

 

Kripa had been holding back but finally let herself go and buried herself in Angad's arms, he wasn't sure how to react at first since Kripa was engaged to someone else but his emotions got the better of him and he too wrapped his arms around her. They stayed like that for a while until Kripa pulled away and brushed her lips against his cheek

 

K - I missed you

A - me too

K - so your plan.....

A - runaway to Figi and get married

K - does your family know?

A - yeah and I have their consent.....

 

Angad and Kripa smile, he tucks a loose strand of hers behind her ear

 

A - everything will be sorted

K - are we leaving tonight because I no passport....

A - no, not yet, we still have some things to sort out

K - like?

A - well...we need to get rid of all the evidence Prithvi has against Sujal bhaiya so when we runaway together he has no leverage against us like before

K - and how will we do that...?

A - you will

K - me?

A - you live with him, he won't suspect you walking into his room, you just need to look around and find the evidence and get rid of it

K - but how?

A - use your imagination Kripa....

K - ok

 

Angad pulled Kripa into his arms again and kissed her forehead

 

A - everything will be ok I promise

K - I know

A - how?

K - because I trust you

 

Kripa smiled at him and kissed his lips softly, she then pulled away

 

K - I need to get home before anyone notices....Angad the wedding in next week

A - so you better find the evidence before that

 

Kripa kissed his cheek and ran off to Sahil's car, Angad watched her go and smiled. Sahil dropped Kripa off and wished her luck, Kripa sneaked into the house and tiptoed upstairs hoping to sneak into her room undetected. She opened her door to find Gayatri sitting on her bed

 

K - mama....

 

Gayatri stood up and closed the door and made Kripa sit down

 

G - where were you? I came upstairs to look for you but you were gone, then I saw the present Angad gave you....were you with him?

K - mama I....

G - Kripa if I wanted to I could have yelled to Dilip, Prithvi and Nishant and told them you weren't here, but I covered for you and told them you were sleeping....so don't lie

 

Kripa felt like hugging her mom just then but held back

 

K - you're right....I was with Angad, he called and said he wanted to meet..one last time before the wedding

G - I see...if this is the matter I won't take it further, but I don't want you seeing him again

 

Kripa notices Prithvi outside and smiles

 

K - mama you need not worry, I'll tell you what I told Angad....I have fully accepted Prithvi as my husband...we were meant to get married once and if he was never meant to be in my fate then none of this would have happened, I guess its destiny for me and Prithvi to be one, rest assured I won't meet Angad (in her mind) until I have gathered the evidence from Prithvi

 

Kripa wishes her mom goodnight, Prithvi enters her room

 

P - you've seriously accepted me as your husband?

K - of course Prithvi....who am I to fight fate twice? If God wnats me to be your wife I have no way of stopping it

 

Prithvi smiles and holds out his arms, Kripa smiles and hugs him

 

K (thinks) - I feel repulsive hugging you Prithvi....but in order to gather the evidence I need to do this, you can smile all you want now but I will happily wait for the day when you curse the day Kripa Sharma.....ah ah Kripa Khanna ever entered your life

 

Kripa grins widely as she hugs Prithvi. Meanwhile on the other side Angad arrives home looking fresh and happy, everyone can tell the reason for his happiness is Kripa and taking advantage of the situation lakshya comes to his room

 

L - bro....did you meet Kripa?

A - yes

L - is she going to runaway with you?

A - yes

L - will she get the evidence off Prithvi?

A - yes

L - can I have your room when you go/

A - yes...huh what?

 

Angad looks at Lakshya who is grinning and throws a pillow at him, Lakshya ducks and the pillow hits Kavya, Lakshya begins to laugh and points a finger at Angad

 

A - b...b..bhaiya..i was trying to get him....

Ka - hmm after the kid hey? I'll show you

 

Kavya picks a pillow and walks to Angad, Angad also gets a pillow and just as Kavya is near Angad, they both grin and turn and begin hitting Lakshya. Sujal sees this and comes to his brothers recuse

 

S - what are you doing! leave the poor dude alone!

Ka - sorry bhaiya

S - you should be!

 

Sujal helps Lakshya up and takes him to the bed, he secretly hands him a pillow and picks another himself and smiles at him, both grin at Angad and Kavya and begin hitting them, eventually the guys get tired and collapse on Angad's bed. Naina watches from the door with Kashish and Anjali

 

N - no one would believe Sujal and Kavya are married

Kas - I know they act like such children

An - but they look cute together

N - yeah they do...

 

coming up - Prithvi sees a new side to Kripa....
