Recap: Kavya called Kripa to the restaurant she agrees to go

Kripa had just reached the restaurant, she goes to a table where Kavya was already seated waiting for her.

Kripa: Sorry I am late.

Kavya: Its ok, please sit down…kripa sits down on a chair opposite to him… I m glad u came.

Kripa: So why did u call me here?

Kavya is a bit hesitant in telling her as he is not sure how she would react, I wanted to talk to u about… about…

Kripa: Anjali right?

Kavya is surprised: How did u …

Kripa cuts him off: don't ask me how I know just think of it as a coincidence. How do u know Anjali?

Kavya after getting over the shock that she knew about him and Anjali, Kripa I called u hear because only u can help me, I want to meet Anjali just once, if she doesn't like me anymore that's fine I will never bother her again. I will live my life happily with her memories. But I need to talk to her.

Kripa: I am sorry Kavya I cant help not till I know about u and Anjali. Can u tell me?

Kavya smiles: This all happened two years ago. I wasn't the same guy I am now. You know Angad I was just like him, the only difference was that I didn't change girlfriends every week, but every month. He laughs sarcastically. Kripa is quite shocked Kavya like Angad how is that possible? Kavya continues on with his story. Me and Anjali met at a disco tech. You know Anjali she is very shy she had only came there because her friend had insisted. The very first time I saw her I knew there was some thing special about her. I felt for her as I had never felt for any girl before . I talked to her that day she wasn't too keen to talk to me at first she didn't quite trust me but we kept meeting each other whether because of destiny or coincidence. As we go to know each other she started trusting me more and more till she trusted me more then herself. This scarred me. I liked her very much and I knew she was special but I did not love her like she loved me or at least I didn't realize it at that time. I was scared, scared to be so close to her. I was afraid that I would lose control of myself and do something I wasn't suppose to, I was afraid to break her trust. I had told her I love you many times but those words did not hold any meaning for me. But for her these were the most important words in her life. I was afraid to have her trust me anymore when I did not trust myself. There was only one solution to this problem. I broke her heart, It was very hard, I told her to get out of my life forever, she did not believe me, I took it a step further I told her I was getting married to pooja, Pooja was her best friend I had convince pooja to help me, I told Anjali that I had always loved pooja and had just pretended to like her so I could get closer to pooja. She finally believed me, It broke her heart in many pieces. I did not want to do this anymore, it hurt me whenever I saw her like this, but I had to hurt her for her own good I did not love her and I could no longer pretend that I did, I could not betray her me and pooja continued on with our "natak", when anjali was unable to endure it any longer, she went away some where forever. When she left I felt free, I missed her very much but I was sure that the pain would leave me after a while. Then I would be free to go back to my original life before I met anjali. Many months passed the pain did not leave me everything reminded me of her I tried to forget everything and go back to the life I had before I never could I could see her in every girl I met. I realized I loved her, I had loved her from the very first time I had met her I just never realized it. It was too late now she was gone. I searched for her everywhere, I never found her how could I when she was in USA. Its been 2 years and I have learned to live with her memories. But now I have seen hope after meeting u kripa. Can u just have her meet me once, just once, please. He was almost begging her no one could have refused him.

Kripa who is in tears by now, she smiles a bit: Is this what love does to people? I will help u kavya, my di deserves a person like you. Now I know why she never wanted to come to India. I am sure she still loves u. She gets up and is about to leave, when Kavya grabs her hand.

Kavya also getting up: I will never forget what u did for me kripa, thank u. Kripa hugs him and smiles, u better keep my sister happy. Kavya also smiles. Angad who just entered the restaurant sees kripa hugging Kavya he just cant see the face of the guy who Kripa is hugging.
