Chapter 9
TAKE MY HAND/ AND LEAD ME ON/ IN A DANCE OF LIFE
Kripa sqealed with laughter, clinging tightly to Angad's neck as wave after wave swelled around them, dancing in a joyous ballet! Angad hooted with laughter as he rode the waves clasping her tightly!
Kripa: ANGADDD, AUR NAHIIIN, PLEEEASE, wapas chalo na, lets goooooo…..
Angad (shouting over the sound of waves) : Kya kaha? Let you go?…
He pretended to let her go and drop her into the swelling waves!
Kripa screamed in fright and clung desperately to him, her legs going around him to hold on tighter.
" Nahiiiin Angad, mat girana mujhey" she squealed !
Angad was enjoying her plight and the feel of her slender legs wrapped around his waist! Then his expression suddenly changed, his face tightened and neck flushed with color! He turned and walked out of the sea still carrying a clinging Kripa!
When they reached the sand, he slowly let her slide down his body! Every part of their soaked bodies touched as she slid down his hard frame! Their eyes met, both faces were red and breathing hard as if running for miles! Kripa stepped backwards, alarmed at the heated look in his eyes, she turned away to hide her own red cheeks! She walked back to dry sand and sat down, her knees suddenly weak.
He sat down a little way from her trying to breathe normally again and slow down his pulse!
He gazed at her, taking in her wet clinging clothes….. the pink top clung shamelessly to every curve and indentation. Kripa felt his heated gaze and self-consciously drew up her knees to her chest, hugging them, she reddened with awareness of his gaze!
They sat in silence, each thinking about what just happened, when she suddenly sneezed 3 times in a row, she was shivering as her wet clothes dried in the cool sea breeze! Angad got up at once and said : " Cmon Kripa, you might get a cold, lets go and change our clothes"
She silently followed him up the steps and back to the suites then he left after a soft goodbye, saying he will see her in the evening.
7:30 p.m.
Kripa and Mishti arrived at Morisco for dinner, Kripa dressed in her pink chiffon dress with pink earrings and Mishti in a lavender dress with pearl jewelry!
After dinner, Angad appeared on stage in his usual style, strumming his guitar, wearing a brown suede jacket, dark brown leather pants and white open-necked shirt! He strummed his guitar and looked at kripa as he sang this song:
Dekha teri mast nigaahon mein nasha hai ada hai mohabbat hai...
http://www.raaga.com/channels/hindi/movie/H000580.html (Khiladi, Kumar Sanu)
Then he sang : Chhookar mere mann ko kiya tooney kya ishara…..
Chhookar Mere Man Ko
Kiya Tuney Kya Ishara
Badla Yeh Mausam
Lagey Pyaara Jag Saara
Chhookar Mere Man Ko
Kiya Tuney Kya Ishara
Tu Jo Kahe Jeevan Bhar
Tere Liye Main Gaaoon (2)
Geet Tere Bolon Pe
Likhta Chala Jaaoon (2)
Mere Geeton Mein
Tujhe Dhoonde Jag Saara
Chhookar Mere Man Ko
Kiya Tuney Kya Ishara
Aaja Tera Aanchal Yeh
Pyaar Se Main Bhar Doon (2)
Khushiyan Jahan Bhar Ki
Tujhpe Nazar Kar Doon (2)
Tu Hi Mera Jeevan
Tu Hi Jeene Ka Sahara
Chhookar Mere Man Ko
Kiya Tuney Kya Ishara
Kripa's eyes followed him everywhere, smiling at him, loving his songs and his heated looks at her!
Angad went on to faster numbers, his band mates joining him in the songs as backup!
The Goa Boyz rocked with their instrument play as Angad sang :
Dus bahaney karkey le gaye dil……
http://www.dishant.com/search/dus-in-ALBUM.html (Dus, Shaan)
Here now here now, everybody put your hands up in the air now
here now here now everybody put your hands up in the air
uski aankhon mein baatein, baaton mein jadoo
say here now here now
uski aankhon mein baatein, baaton mein jadoo
jadoo mein kho gaye hum hogaye beqabu
i looked at you, you looked at me
aur hogayi mushkil
and you became my destiny tuhi meri manzil
dus bahane karke legaye dil legaye dil
dus bahane karke legaye dil
dus bahane karke legaye dil legaye dil
dus bahane karke legaye dil
Here now here now, everybody put your hands up in the air now
here now here now everybody put your hands up in the air
Yeh dil topehle aisa nahin tha
kisne behkaya aisa sapna dikhaya kyun
yeh aankhein meri dekhe ussi ko
soche bina hi usse apna banaya kyun
jeena to marne se ab hai kahi mushkil
khudko jo khoya to woh hogaya haasil
dus bahane karke legaye dil legaye dil
dus bahane karke legaye dil
dus bahane karke legaye dil legaye dil
dus bahane karke legaye dil
Many young girls and boys in the room got up and started dancing…..Angad called them on stage, encouraging them to dance, to join him on stage….soon the stage was half-filled with a dozen young people grooving to the beats of the band!
Angad signalled Kripa and Mishti with his hands to come join him onstage……Kripa silently shook her head at him….how could she dance? She didn't know how to!! She felt self-conscious when she saw how well the other young kids were dancing up there!
Mishti said :Chalo Kripa, lets go and dance
Kripa: Nahin Dii, tum to jaanti ho mujhey nachna nahin aata (she said rather sadly)
Angad and the Goa Boyz started singing more Goan songs with groovy beats, calling more people to join them onstage and below the stage to groove along!
Sample Goan songs here : http://www.raaga.com/channels/hindi/variou..._Fernandez.html
Angad beckoned Mishti and Kripa again to come join them, when they didn't come, he walked up to their table. He moved the tiny microphone away from his face and yelled to them: Cmon dance with us!
Mishti got up at once but Kripa still sat there with a morose face. Angad held out his hand to her and said loudly : DANCE WITH ME, KRIPA!
Kripa looked at his extended hand, at his warm eyes smiling at her, beckoning her to join him …..she shook her head, tears in her eyes…." Im sorry I cant dance"
Angad couldn't hear what she said softly : WHATT? COME ON KRIPA, DON'T BE SHY, COME AND DANCE WITH ME' he yelled
Mishti yelled to him over the loud music: ANGAD, USEY DANCE NAHIN AATI , SHE CANT DANCE
Angad was shocked: WHATT? REALLY? ……He looked incredulously at Kripa. In Goa, music and dance were such integral parts of culture that it was unthinkable that a pretty, young girl like Kripa wouldn't know how to shake a leg or two!
Kripa looked down at her lap in misery, tears coming to her eyes. She mentally kicked herself……why did I quit those dancing classes? I could have danced with him tonight!
Angad saw she was upset, he said : Koi baat nahin, phir kabhi…. He grinned encouragingly at her and left with Mishti to join the revellers on stage.
They had a rocking time, grooving with the throbbing Goa mando beats ……Kripa looked morosely at the other girls dancing around Angad….tears started to fall from her eyes, she was so disappointed….she could have been up there dancing with Angad, having a rocking time like the others. Mishti was also enjoying herself up there!
Kripa looked down and cried silently! Angad noticed her sadness from far away….his heart ached for the crestfallen figure so pretty in pink sitting alone at the table with a bent head! He suddenly had a brilliant IDEA!
After the performance, as they were leaving, Angad came after Kripa.
He asked Mishti: Can I talk to Kripa for a minute?
Mishti: Sure why not? Tum dono baat karo, I have some important phone calls to make" she went away with her mobile in her ears talking busily to somebody on the phone!
Angad pulled Kripa into a hallway, Kripa silently looking down, avoiding his eyes….she was still tearful about her failure to accompany him in dance.
Angad : Heyyy Kripa, kya hua? …. He bent his head to hers
Kripa (husky voice) : Kuchh nahin…
Angad: Bolo na kya hua….naaraz ho mujhsey? (he lifted her face with his fingers)
Her tearful eyes looked into his warm tender ones, her lips trembled slightly, eyes full of unshed tears
" Tumsey nahin, main apney aap se naraaz hoon
Angad (softly) : Kyun? Tumney aisa kya gunaah kiya?
Kripa: You wanted to dance with me, per mujhey dance nahin aati isliye……..her voice trailed off as 2 teardrops fell from her eyes.
Angad caught the teardrops on his fingers and said tenderly : Bass? Itni si baat hai? Iskey liye tum in motiyon ko barbaad kar rahi ho?
He took her chin and shook it slightly: Not to worry, Angad is here….mere paas iska bahut achha solution hai….
Kripa: Kya solution? (looking up hopefully)
Angad : Chalo, main tumhey kisisey milata hoon…
He took her hand, led her down the hallway into a big inner room at the back of the restaurant…..it was a green room for the perforners to get ready …..5-6 of the band members were still hanging around, chatting and gathering up their stuff. Angad led Kripa to a tall, bearded man who was the main guitarist of the band…he was talking to a tall, attractive girl in her mid-20s. Angad introduced kripa to the two:
This is Philipe, our guitar maestro!
And this is Simone…..guys, this is Kripa!
Simone and Philipe smiled and greeted Kripa….they looked knowingly at Angad, they had seen him singing for this girl in the audience.
Kripa greeted them, wonderingly looking at .Simone who was tall, slim and wearing tight skin-fit pants and a clinging sparkly top!
Angad : Simone has a dance class here at the resort, she teaches all kinds of dances….kal subah main tumhey wahan le jaaoonga, jagah dekh lena, phir parson se tumhari dance training shuru!
Kripa: Per Angad, main wo….mama, papa, dance class….(confused at the sudden offer she stammered)
Angad: Koi baat nahin, tum apney parents se poochh lena….Im sure they will agree…..so then its fixed, day after tomorrow you start dance lessons" . There was such a commanding finality in his tone that Kripa agreed, thanking Simone for accepting her as student.
Simone: It will be my pleasure to teach u dancing, Kripa…..she smiled in a friendly manner.
They bid goodbye to Simone and Philipe and left.
Angad instructed Kripa: Kal subah main tumhey dance studio dikha doonga, parson se classes start karna, I know u will learn fast …..and then u can dance with me on Christmas and New Year's Eve party!
Kripa grinned in delight, thrilled with the prospect of dancing with him at New Years Eve!
She said : Thanks, Angad!
Angad: Thanks kis baat ki? Yeh to main apney liye kar raha hoon, so that u can dance with me at every party from now on (he said with possessive arrogance)
