Chapter 16

16

Sarah's body stiffened as she felt Angad's lips on her. Somewhere inside this was what she wanted for a while but then again, she knew it was wrong too. She was a mother, she was older. What more reason did anyone need to point fingers? Yet she didnt push Angad away. When he let go, she still had her eyes closed. Angad caressed her face with his thumb and looked at her as the moon reflected off her face. She was beautifu, he thought at the moment. Angad rubbed the tip of his nose against her skin and she felt like something was crawling underneath her skin. Some kind of feeling that she had never felt before. Or maybe a long time ago when she had fallen in love with Samar.

Suddenly Sana's voice came to Sarah's head and she pulled away. Angad,shocked at this point, failed to understand. "Whats wrong Sarah?"

"I'm sorry..I have to go..I dropped Sana off at my moms house..I..I have to go.."

"oh.."

"I'm sorry." She meant it for various reasons. Angad didnt say anything. "You want me to drop you home?" She said as she looked at the state of his car. "No its okay. I'll get home..somehow." But he was drunk and she didnt want to leave him here even though taking him with her wasnt easy for her to do. "Please Angad. I insist. Come on." She took his arm and walked him to her car. When he sat in the passengers seat, Sarah shut the door and stood there for a few seconds, trying to soak in everything that just happened.

She sat down and was about to start driving when Angad quickly turned to look at her. "Wait..didnt you say you forgot your bag at Kripas?" She had forgotten! "yeah..um do you mind if i quickly drop by Kripa's and get the bag?" Somehow he really wanted to. He didnt know why but he did. Sarah silently drove into the parking lot and took her cell phone out. "Hey kripz, I forgot my bag in your room. Can you go get it please? I'm waitin in the parking lot..okay.thanks." Sarah put the phone away and looked down at her hands for a few moments.

"Look, Sarah.."She turned to look at him. "I'm sorry if I hurt in any way. I didnt mean to you know..I'm sorry." She smiled and placed her hand on top of his. "Angad, I wanna be honest with you. I've known you for the past couple of months and...spending time with you is really, really great. And I dont know what else to..I mean I dont know how you feel about me and..." Angad quickly grabbed her and kissed her lips again. "Did that tell you how I feel about you Sarah?" She was speechless as she stared into his eyes once again.

Suddenly, Sarah looked behind Angad and then moved back in shock. Angad looked at her with questions. "Kripa." She whispered softly and Angad froze. He looked behind him and saw Kripa standing by his closed window. Sarah quickly got out of the car and rushed to Kripa. Kripa looked at Sarah for a moment. There was this awkward moment of silence between them. Even though Sarah didnt know why, Kripa felt this anger rush to her.

"Heres your bag Sarah." She handed Sarah and bag and just stood there. "Thanks Kripa. I..I'll call you later." Kripa just nodded and glanced at Angad. There was this weird smile on Angad's face, like he had accomplished something. Kripa suddenly snapped back with a smile to hide her uneasiness. "Okay Sarah. I'll see you soon?"

"Yeah sure!" Kripa leaned in to kiss Sarah's cheek. The most artificial moves that every model had to learn and Kripa had mastered. "Okay babe. I gotta get back!"

"Bye Kripa.." Sarah smiled awkwardly. Kripa gave Angad a disgusted look and walked away. Sarah quickly got back to the car and sat down. After taking a deep breath, she turned to look at Angad. "Lets go." Angad looked at her as she pulled out of the driveway.

Kripa sat in front of her dresser and took off her jewelry when Simon walked in silently, without her noticing. She was looking down at her ring when she felt Simon's lips on her shoulder. "Simon.."

"Surprised?" Kripa smiled and turned around. "Kripa..did I tell you how gorgeous you looked tonight?" Kripa wasnt listening. She was still thinking of that kiss that Angad and Sarah had shared in the car. It had disturbed her a lot. She didnt care about Angad making out with another girl. But Sarah?? she was her best friend! "You okay hun?" Kripa snapped back to reality and looked at Simon. "Yeah. I'm sorry..what were you sayin?" Simon looked at her for a few moments and then got on his knees in front of her.

"Is it Angad?"

"What?" How did Simon know? "Did his presence affect you tonight, Kripa?"

"No...it wasnt his presence. It was just..nothing Simon. Just forget it. OKay?" She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "My dad invited us to lunch tomorrow."

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah! Oh come on Simon. I know he can be a bit mean.."

"A bit mean? Kripa he doesnt even talk to me in a polite manner and you expect me to have a nice lunch with him?" Simon got up and turned away from her. Kripa slowly got up and wrapped her arms around Simon's waist and rested her head on his back. "Aw I know how you feel Simon." She kissed his shoulder blade. "But my dads just too possessive. He's hated all the guys I've dated. He hated Angad and now he doesnt like you. But thats just.."

Simon pulled away. "He hated Angad?" Kripa realized what she had said. She tried to correct herself but didnt find the words. "So you mean to say you dated Angad at a point in life? And you brought him home?"

"Simon come on, its an old story."

"A story? I expected you to tell me this Kripa! We're getting married for Christ's sake!!" Kripa sat down on her chair, feeling defeated. Simon stood still for a few moments and spoke again. "Were you even planning on telling me?" Kripa looked up at him. No, she was never going to tell Simon. "I.."

"Okay fine! Have it your way. I dont know what else youve hidden from me anymore!" He grabbed his jacket and stormed out of Kripa's room. Kripa was never as angry as she was right now. Angad was creating so many problems for her. She just wanted to get away.

Angad moved his hands through Sarah's hair as they moved restlessly in the back of her car. As Angad moved his lips to her neck from her lips, she pulled away. "I'm sorry. I have to go Angad! Its getting too late." Angad looked at his watch. 11:40. It wasnt late! But then he thought of Sana. She was with Sarah's mother and it wasnt fair to leave her there. Angad nodded and quickly got out of the car. Sarah got out of the other door and fixed her dress.

They were parked in the parking lot of Angad's apartment building. When Sarah had dropped him off, they had made out in her backseat instead. She felt young with him again and she liked it. "Goodnight Angad." Sarah smiled as she looked at Angad for the last time. He smiled too and moved in to kiss her cheek gently. "Goodnight Sarah and...thanks. For the wonderful night." Sarah smiled and nodded as she got into her car and drove away. When she did, Angad smiled. When Kripa had seen them kiss, he had felt this immense pleasure. She was angry and he knew it. He wanted her to be angry.

Coming up: Simon goes to Kripa's dad's house for lunch. Kripa and Angad face each other in a heated argument.
