Part 17

"Ria" tarun ran towards her, "hey ria wait up."

She turned around to face him, he stopped trying to catch his breath, "Ria did u call her. Did u tell her about Sahil?"

The color disappeared from her face, "Tarun we have lost her, she wont come back alive." Tears fogged up her beautiful green eyes, tarun wiped them away she hugged him, "U know Angad he wont leave her, I called her told her to get out of there, but she just… she just disconnected the phone." Ria hysterically grabbed the flappers of Tarun's coat, "She has gone after him!!! He will kill her!"

He hugged her tightly trying to calm her down, "shh shhh. Its ok ria, its ok," Tear dropped from his eyes he didn't like this business he had lost two of his friends in the past two days, "I am sorry we cant do anything about it now."

"But there is something that we can do." Ria and Tarun looked at each other, that sound had not come from either of their mouths, they looked up as the footsteps echoed and came closer. Kripa stepped out from the shadows. She was dressed in pure black and white with silver earrings lining her ear, with aprik necklace tied to her neck. Ria ran and hugged her.

"You are alive Kripa, I was so worried, how did you… how did you live?"

"That's not important. We have many other matters to deal with." said Kripa, her voice was no longer sweet or innocent, it was tough and determined, "Its more important for me to know how sahil died." she looked at Tarun.

"His neck was sliced and he was found" he gulped, "…he was found at the see, those bas***ds left him there to be fish food."

Kripa smiled, "That's what I thought Sahil once told me about Angad's fascination with knives, that is how he always kills never bothers with a gun." Tarun touched her shoulders trying to console her.

"Don't worry Tarun I wont cry."

Ria spoke next, "Kripa Aprik is now urs you have to tell us what we have to do."

"There will be no change in what we do there will just be a change in how we do it." Ria and Tarun were silent, She went on.

"I owe Angad my future, the days that I will live here forth but I owe my brother all the days that I have lived thus far. I have to fulfill both the responsibilities. I cannot kill Angad because he gave me life, yet I cannot betray my brother even in his death. I will fulfill his dream I will make Aprik the strongest, the biggest. U both are going to have to help me though, i cant do this alone."

"We are always with you Kripa." Ria said as tarun took one of her hands and Ria took the other.

Kripa smiled, "Then I guess you know what to do we have one week. Our first step is preparation, get the cars the best ones."

"Yes!! This will be our year!!" Tarun said smiling for the first time.

Kripa was happy that she had at least given one person a reason to smile. But she knew her fight was going to end in tragedy, b/c her goal would not be reached just by making Aprik the biggest gang.

She had to reveal the biggest secret buried in her heart, a secret that would make Angad hate her to the farthest extent.

But she could hide it no longer, she knew the time was coming closer that that secret would unveil it self. But before Angad found out about the secret she would have to teach him some important lessons in life.
