V - who are you?
Both look at the guy
A - I'm Angad, this is Neev.....are you Prithvi?
Pr - yeah, what do you want?
Part 21
A - you don't know me but you know my wife
Pr - your wife? wait, come sit down first
Prithvi leads them into the living room and they sit down
Pr - you were saying something about your wife?
A - yeah, Kripa Khanna although she was Kripa.....
Pr - Sharma.....yeah I remember her, man I loved her so much, but she didn't care about me, it was always about Anjali and Prachi, man I hated those girls
Neev clears his throat
N - I never introduced myself, I'm Neev, Prachi's husband
Pr - oh...sorry, anyways Angad, what did you come here for?
A - to take you back to Mumbai
Prithvi chuckles
Pr - for what? a high school reunion?
A - something like that, see we know what happened between the girls and we also know, you, Varun and Yug were behind it all, and all I want is for you to come back to Mumbai and tell Kripa that everything that happened was your fault and not Anjali and Prachi's, I'm hoping you can do that
Pr - and if I don't
This time Angad chuckles then gets on his feet and pulls Prithvi up and pushes him against a table
A - you misunderstood me when I said you can do that I meant you have to do that, because if you don't I swear to God I won't tink twice before beating you to a pulp, now Prithvi, my marriage and my business is suffering because of the **** you pulled back in high school, so don't think of this as a light threat, if I have to take you back to Mumbai in my trunk, then I will, believe me
Neev stands up and puts his hand on Angad's shoulder
N - easy there....
Prithvi looks at Angad and realises he's not bluffing, Angad pulls away from Prithvi and stands by Neev
N - we asked nicely, we asked forcefully now unless you want me to turn the other way while he beats you up, I suggest you get a bag, put some clothes in and hurry with us
Pr - ok....I'll come, but what makes you think Kripa will believe me
A - she will, trust me
Prithvi scowls then goes upstairs. He comes back down with a duffel bag, Angad takes it from him and puts it into his car, then sits in the drivers seat, Neev sits in the passenger side and Prithvi reluctantly sits in the back, Angad drives off
A - ok first off where's Varun and Yug?
Pr - why?
A - like you said, Kripa may not believe you but she might believe Varun and Yug so three mouths are better than one, where are they?
Pr - last time I heard Varun got married and is living near by, Yug....maybe Varun knows
A - address
Prithvi guides Angad and soon they reach a small flat, Neev lets out a small laugh
N - Varun lives here?
Pr - yeah why?
N - I cannot wait to tell Prachi that her ex-boyfriend lives in a flat, (laughs) she's so lucky I came into her life
Prithvi rolls his eyes while Angad smiles
A - you want to go or shall I?
N - oh let me do the honours
Neev gets out of the car and rings the doorbell, a young woman opens
N - are you Varun's wife?
?? - yeah I'm Swati
N - is he home?
S - yeah one second....Varun!
Varun comes out and looks at Neev weirdly
V - who are you?
N - Neev, Neev Kapoor
V - and?
N - Swati, if you mind I'd like to talk to your husband alone
Swati smiles and leaves them alone, Neev smiles at her back then frowns at him
N - I sent your wife away because I don't want her to know that I'm her husband's ex-girlfriend's husband
V - what?
N - you remember Prachi right? Prachi Shah?
V - oh of course.....there's not a day that goes by when I don't think about her
N - yeah, I'm her husband
Varun steps back
N - I'm not here to cause trouble, I just need you to come back to Mumbai and explain to Kripa, remember her?
V - yeah
N - yeah explain that you were behind breaking her and Prachi up
V - and if I don't? you'll beat me up?
Varun laughs, Neev also gives out a small laugh
N - you've seen the size of me? I can't possibly take you on...but...
Neev pulls Varun out of the door and points to Angad
N - but he can
Angad pokes his head out of the window
A - does he need persuading like Prithvi?
Varun looks at the back and sees Prithvi, he gulps
V - no, I'll come, I need to tell my wife
N - go ahead we'll be in the car
Neev gives him a friendly smile then goes and sits in the car
N - man what did Prachi see in him
Angad smiles and looks through the mirror back at Prithvi
A - same thing Kripa saw in him
N - so who's going to persuade Yug? I mean Kavya's not here
A - leave that to me
Neev smiles at Angad's evil grin then sees Varun leaving the flat with a small bag, Varun puts it in the trunk and sits next to Prithvi in the back
A - Varun, I'm Angad, Kripa's husband......I need to know where Yug is?
V - sure
Varun gives Angad the directions and soon they arrive at a small house, Angad pats Neev's knee
A - I'll be right back
N - sure
Angad takes the keys out and hands them to Neev then gets out of the car and knocks on the door, Yug opens the door and looks at Angad
Y - do I know you?
A - one second
Angad gets out his mobile and dials Kavya's number
A - hey Kavya, I have Yug, here talk to him
Angad hands the phone to Yug, he looks at Angad who urges him to talk and then puts the phone by his ear while Angad leans against the door with his arms folded
Y - err hello?
Ka - Yug? I'm Kavya, Anjali's husband, you remember Anjali? but then again how would you with your countless girlfriends, as Angad to show you a picture
Y (to Angad) - he says to show me a picture
Angad nods his head and takes the phone off Yug, he searches through the menu and finds photo's of the party where the girls got drunk, he scrolls through and finds the picture of Anjali, he shows it to Yug, then hands the phone back to him
Ka - ring any bells?
Y - yeah
Ka - ok so, what I need you to do is come to Mumbai, convince Kripa, Angad's wife, that everything that happened in college was all yours, Varun's and Prithvi's fault, and if you refuse then my good friend Angad there can be very persuassive
Yug glances at Angad who on purpose pretends to be looking at his arm and flexing it showing his muscles, Yug frowns
Y - erm of course, I'll be there
Ka - no, you can come with Angad and Neev, now give him the phone
Yug hands Angad the phone and Angad smiles
A - we'll be there soon
He steps away from Yug
A - how's Kripa?
Ka - she's bad, she hasn't aten properly in a few days
Angad begins to panic
A - what? did you call a doctor?
Ka - Anjali and Prachi have been staying with her, I mean I want her to suffer for what she done but I don't want her to fall ill or anything, they've been trying to get her to eat, but I've realised she'll only eat when you tell her to, so despite my earlier plans.....Angad when the guys tel her everything.....don't leave her
A - Kavya please
Ka - she's your wife, she doesn't deserve this much pain, I won't be able to live with myself if anything happens to her, if I've forgiven her then you can too
A - I don't know
Ka - at least say you'll think about it
A - sure thing, I'll see you soon.....and Kavya, take care of her
Ka - sure
Angad hangs up, he turns around and sees Neev standing by him and looking at him
N - everything ok?
A - Kripa's not eating properly
N - you need to stay with her, work things out
A - yeah...maybe
Yug comes out of the house and sits in the car, Angad and Neev also sit inside
A - ok, since it's late we're going back to my parent's house, you three are welcome to stay there so I can keep an eye on you, we'll leave first thing in the morning
The guys in the back just nod their heads while Neev grins, Angad starts the car, turns it around and drives to his parents house, when he gets there, Prithvi, Yug and Varun sleep in one room while Neev and Angad sleep in his room, before sleeping Angad glances at Neev and sees him sleeping, he takes out his phone and calls Kripa, Anjali answers
An - Angad?
A - hey Anju.....how are you?
An - I'm fine
A - and Prachi?
An - she's fine
A - ......
An - Kripa's ok too Angad, she's justa bit weak from not eating
A - is she....is she awake?
An - no she's sleeping, I'll tell her you called
A - no don't do that..I'll erm talk to her when I get back....should be sometime tomorrow
An - Angad, she loves you
A - I know
An - and you love her
A - yeah....erm good night Anju and thanks for everything
Angad hangs up and rests his head back against the wall thinking about Kripa and her health, meanwhile Kripa opens her eyes and looks at the photo of her and Angad, she then thinks about what she's done in the past and a tear drop falls from her eyes, she closes her eyes and more tears fall as Rabba from Musafir plays in the background
zindagi mein koi kabhi aaye na rabba
aaye jo koi tho phir jaaye na rabba
dene agar mujhe baad mein ansoon
tho pehle koi hassaye na rabba
zindagi mein koi kabhi aaye na rabba (Kripa thinks about the day she met Angad)
aaye jo koi tho phir jaaye na rabba (she then thinks to the day he left home)
dene agar mujhe baad mein ansoon (she wipes a tear from her face)
tho pehle koi hassaye na rabba (she thinks back to the happy times)
tho pehle koi hassaye na rabba
Kripa tosses and turns in bed unable to sleep, she reaches out for Angad but remembers he's not there, she sits up in bed and looks outside the window
jaate jaate koi meri kushiyon ko legaya
suni suni ankhiyon ko ghum koi degaya
jaate jaate koi meri kushiyon ko legaya (Kripa remembers falling to the floor after Angad left)
suni suni ankhiyon ko ghum koi degaya (she wipes her tears away but more continue to flow)
aas jo lagayi hai aankh bar aay hai
aas jo lagayi hai aankh bar aayi hai
itna na bhi koi sataye na rabba
zindagi mein koi kabhi aaye na rabba
aaye jo koi tho phir jaaye na rabba
dene agar mujhe baad mein ansoon
tho pehle koi hassaye na rabba
tho pehle koi hassaye na rabba
Kripa gets out of bed and stands by the window and watches the rain fall, she opens the window and puts her hand out and lets the rain fall on her hands
dil lene vale pe zor nahin chalta
pyaar ka yeh sikha kahin aur nahin chalta
dil lene vale par zor nahin chalta (Kripa brings her hand back in and closes the window)
pyaar ka yeh sikha kahin aur nahin chalta (she picks up a photo of Angad and holds it close to her chest as she lies back in bed)
yaad teri aayi hai tu harjaiye hai
yaad teri aayi hai tu harjayie hai
itna na bhi koi tharpaye na rabba
Kripa lies on her back and stares at the ceiling
zindagi mein koi kabhi aaye na rabba
aaye jo koi tho phir jaaye na rabba
dene agar mujhe baad mein ansoon
tho pehle koi hassaye na rabba
tho pehle koi hassaye na rabba
Kripa closes her eyes and a final tear drop falls before she drifts off to sleep
coming up - Prithvi, Varun and Yug tell Kripa, Prachi and Anjali the truth
