Chapter 12

 PART 12 

 

Sorry about the delay...too much HW...

 

Kripa looks at Angad.

 

She has no expression on her face.

 

ANgad: I will take that as a no…but unless you want to be stranded here, then I think you better come out!

 

Kripa gets out of the car.

 

Angad and Kripa start walking. They are quiet for some time.

 

Kripa: Angad…

 

Angad: Yeah?

 

Kripa: Do you have your cell phone???

 

Angad: I don't know. I am not the one who keeps track of calls and everything.

 

He goes back in the car to look for his cell. Kripa waits for him.

 

Angad: Dum luck!

 

Kripa: Kya?

 

ANgad: Nope!

 

Kripa: Oh no!!!

 

Angad and Kripa start walking. They are quiet. Angad starts a conversation.

 

Angad: Kripa, I know this is a very random question aur agar tumhe nahin answer karma, then it is ok!

 

Kripa: Bolo?

 

ANgad: Tumhe kabhi pyaar hua hai?

 

Kripa: This sure IS out of the blue!

 

ANgad: And like I said, you don't have to answer it.

 

Kripa: It's ok, waise bhi Kumud mujhse yeh sawaal bar bar karti hai!

 

Angad: and like always, you give her the answer.

 

Kripa: I don't know if it was love or not, but job hi pal maine apne dost ANgad ke saath bitaien, wo meri zindagi ke sabse pyaare pal the! Pyaar tak to baat bilkul nahin ayee, leken abb zindagi aage bade chuki hai aur kya pata ki Angad ki zindagi mein koi aur ladki aa chukee ho?

 

Angad: That means that you loved Angad and still love him today? Even though he might not even remember you?

 

Kripa: I guess!

 

Kripa is feeling cold by now. She rubs her hands against her arms.

 

ANgad notices it. He takes his jacket off and puts it around her.

 

Kripa: Thankls!!!!!!

 

They walk home, but cold is not the only obstacle in the way…

 

As they are walking….

 

 

Kumud and Kshitij on the phone:

 

They are shocked!!!

 

Kumud: You…

 

Kshitij: are…

 

Kumud: in…

 

Kshitij: France???????????

 

Kumud: That is so cool!!!!!

 

Kshitij: Ms. Wrong Number, shayad humare kismat mein jaldi milna likha tha!!!

 

Kumud makes a sad face.

 

Kshitij: Arre Ms. Wrng number, apna khubsoorat sa chehra unn aasoon mein mat chapaoo. (Don't hide your beautiful face under your tears.)

 

Kumud smiles.

 

Kshitij: There we go!

 

Kumud: How can you know if I am smiling or crying?

 

Kshitij: I have known you long enough for that!

 

Kumud: Ok, Ok!

 

Kshitij: To hum kahan milen? (So, where should we meet?)

 

Kumud: Mujhe abhi nahin pata ki mein is mulakaat ke liye tayaar hoon ya nahin. (I don't know if I am ready for this yet or not)

 

Kshiti gets sad.

 

Kshitij: It's ok.  Kismat hume yahan tak layee hai, ek din milwa bhi zaroor de gi. (Fate has brought us till here, but we will surely meet one day!)

 

Kumud: Thanx for understanding.

 

Kshitij: Ms. Wrong Number, dosti mein no friendships and thank yous!

 

Kumud: Ok Mr. Mystery Guy.

 

Kshitij: Tumhe abb lagta hai ki main tumhara naam jaan loon? (Now do you think that I should know your name?)

 

Kumud laughs.

 

Kumud: Some other time!

 

Kshitij: Ok, Bye!

 

Kumud: Bye! Phone dobara maat karna bhoolna! (Don't forget to call again!)

 

Kshitij: Koi shakk? (Any doubt?)

 

Kumud: Tum par…bilkul nahin! (On You…never!)

 

They both hang up.

 

Kshitij: God, I—

 

Kumud walks back to Kshitij.

 

Kshitij: Do you realize how long you have been talking?

 

Kumud: No…how long?

 

Kshitij: 45 minutes!

 

Kumud: I hope I didn't bore you.

 

Kshitij: Tumhare saath koi bore ho sakta hai? But no, I was talking to someone. (with a twinkle in his eye)

 

Kumud: Oooooo…Kshitij has a girlfriend. We will say what bhai has to say about this.

 

Kshitij: Kumud…agar tumne Angad ko kucch bhi bataya (if you tell Angad anything), then I won't leave you!

 

Kshitij starts chasing Kumud. They both are laughing.

 

Kumud: Ok, Ok, ek shart par (on one condition), you tell me who this girl is.

 

Kshitij: First-She is not my girlfriend! She is just a friend.

 

Kumud: Ok, whatever, then I don't want to know the rest if she is not a G/F.

 

 

France Dance—

 

DK and Dish are dancing together. The music changes to a soft romantic tune.

 

Dk: Do you still want to dance?

 

Dish: Sure!

 

They get back on the dance floor. They both are in each other's arms…

 

DK: Dish, tumhe dance karna bahut accha lagta hai na?

 

Dish: Mujse puch rahe ho?

 

DK: I will take that as a yes!

 

Dish: Kripa loves to sing and I love to dance!

 

DK: Cool! I can imagine you two, D&K Productions!

 

Dish: And you? Tum to humesha apne papa ka office sambhal rahe ho! Don't you need more of a social life?

 

DK: Abb main kya bolo? I am happy as long as I keep mama, papa, and Aliya happy!

 

Disha: To phir aage zindagi mein tum kya apne papa ka business sambhaloge? No pyaar?   No shaadi?

 

DK: Pyaar ke liye ek ladki hone chahi hai! Aur pyaar karne ke liye time chahi hai.

 

Dish: DK, Pyaar ko sirf ek lamhe ki zaroorat hoti hai!

 

After this, the two are quiet. The song ends and so does the part. Josh, Aliya, DK, and Dish go outside.
