Chapter 4

Part 6

 The next Morning, the sun shinned bright on Kripa's face. The bright light of the beautiful sun shinned right through Kripa's crystal clear windows and  kissed Kripa good morning. It didn't really feel as beautiful as it look. Under the beautiful face was an annoyed Kripa who was forced to get up and moved the curtains close.

 

There was a time when Kripa loved her early mornings the fresh breeze in the air as she watched the sun rise if she woke up early enough. But now, things were different she was different. But as much as she tried half her efforts failed in front of family, she just couldn't lie to them, which might be another reason to why she didn't want to go back to India.

 

Kripa had moved to the US about 6 months ago! Her decision to coming to the US was not just a talented mind wanting too be expressed to the world but a broken heart which was not strong enough to face the world. She wanted to be invisible at moments. But then she knew it was impossible to forget her past in the environment she was in. She decided to move to the US telling every one it was because she wanted to open her own art gallery and wasn't ready for such responsibility. But some what did she know that no matter where she went she couldn't stay there for long. She never did or never could she just hate the feeling to be alone. This was why she spent weeks in the Khanna mansion while her father Mahir Sherma went on business tours. The thought of being alone really killed her. But she knew she had to do it, for her father, for her self more importantly. And she did but now was the time she went back and today she was, she was going back… back… to her past!!

 

It was 12pm lunch time at where Kripa worked, an Art Gallery, Kripa Sherma was a painter and a very successful one too. Kripa had always admired art, but she never thought she would one day actually become an artist. Kripa Sherma… the title had always wanted to have a "Dr." added to the name every time it would've been said in a professional way. She did go to medical school and was very close to achieving her goal, but then her spirit in art took over and Kripa decided to become a painter. And now when she was very successful at her profession and passion of life she had to make a pause for 3 months and got to India that last place she wanted to be in the few past months.

 

Even though it was lunch time Kripa wasn't eating she had he Salad and fresh orange juice laid in front of her but she was too much engrossed into a portfolio to even glance at her food, when she was suddenly interrupted.

"Excuse me madam, I'm sorry to be disturbing you during lunch time but there is some one here to meet you. I told them that this was lunch hour and that you don't see any one at the time but he said that you would want too, and that he was here to see you and he wouldn't leave until he did." A fair young lady came in with a very nervous look on her face.

"Lisa I don't care who's here to see me! You already know I don't see any one during lunch hours and it doesn't matter who it is!" Kripa told as she turned her big black chair, now facing the wall. "Who ever it is, will have to wait! You may leave now." Kripa said annoyed, for being interrupted in her work.

 

 

Holding a pen in between her delicate fingers she sat and leaned back as she went back to some of her old thoughts…

 

Flash Back---------

Kripa was sitting in the canteen having her lunch laid in front of her while she was lost in a medical review sheet. Right then some one from behind comes and snatches the paper. Without looking to see who it was Kripa closes her eyes in anger and shouts. "ANGAD KANNA how many times I have told you not to disturb me while I'm having lunch!!!"

"HAHAHA well doesn't look like you were having lunch at the moment! Come on Kripa forget your books and actually think about having a meal when your appose too and then maybe I wont bug you ok?!!!" Angad said as much as annoyed.

"Angad…" Kripa whined!

"Kripa…" Angad said in the same tone!

"FINE!" Kripa said angry again as you pulled her try over and grabbed her fork and was just about to dig into her salad when Angad grabbed her hand.

"What now?" now an annoyed Kripa yelled as she crutched her teeth together ready to explode.

"Are you really going to have a boring salad and orange juice for lunch?" Angad asked almost giving up!

"…" before Kripa could say anything Angad was grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out of the canteen and into the parking lot.

"What are you doing Angad?" Kripa asked trying to free her self form Angad's grip.

"Kripa Sherma! We might not be dating no more but that doesn't mean I can't take you out for lunch." Angad said forcing her into the car.

"YES IT DOES" Kripa yelled

"Fine, you know what forget it." Now a very annoyed Angad yelled back.

Kripa smiled and now giggled, and before she knew it she was laughing her head off… "Oh my god… ah I'm sorry Angad butits just that you look so cute when your angry" now laughing again!

End of Flash Back---------

 

Kripa slightly smiled as she looked at cold salad, and a glass of orange juice lay a few inches on the side of where her work sat. Kripa picked up her work and placed it on another desk beside her and then pulled over her tray. Picking up her fork she she stared down at what she was about to eat. And then a figured appeared in front of her, "Are you really going to have a boring salad and orange juice for lunch?" An Angad said with his hands crossed.

She smiled as her eyes got watery. She watched the figure dim away.  She looked down at her food again and just simply nodded her head and then moved back in her chair and sighed! Then after a few minutes she called Lisa in her cabin. And before she knew it Lisa was standing before her. "Yes mam?"

Kripa stood up picking up her purse. "Lisa I'll be leaving for India tonight and I won't be back until a few months. I would like you to postpone all my assignments until I get back. And if there is any problem you can reach me on my cell. Other then that you can enjoy the time. And if you like you can transfer all the office calls to your cell phone because, there isn't any reason for you to be spending your time here. And I'm going to be leaving early today I just need to catch up on some minor packing." Kripa went back to her desk looking for car keys, when she glanced up she saw Lisa still standing in the same position. She smiled at her, "That would be all Lisa."

 "Thank you mam, and have a nice trip!" Lisa said as she turn to leave but stopped when she heared Kripa speak again.

"I'm sorry Lisa, for earlier, I shouldn't have talked to you in the way I did. I'm sorry."

Kripa said hopping it wasn't too late.

Now Lisa smiled pleasantly, "It's alright mam."
