CHAPTER 9
Gazing into the others' eyes, they fell asleep right there on top of each other. Hours later, Kripa woke up.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kripa shrieked. She got up and kicked Angad's 6-pack.
"What in the name of…?" Angad asked groggily, "Kripa, what the hell? How did I get here?!?!?!? OH MY GOD, YOU KIDNAPPED ME?!?!?!"
"You came here on your own, in fact YOU called me here…what time is it?"
"10. Oh yeah, that's right you're in love with me." Angad said smirking.
"Yeah, I am. So what you gonna do about it?!" Kripa bellowed defensively joking. He pulled her by the waist.
"There's a lot I CAN do…" he whispered seductively.
"Angad, this is no time to try to be sexy. We have to get home. It's 10 o'clock…you know how worried my parents must be?"
"First of all, trying? I AM sexy. And they're probably as worried as my parents and…crap!"
"What?"
"I have to be the airport in 10 minutes! C'mon! Hurry up and get in the car."
"Okay? Where are we going?" Kripa asked confused while opening the car door.
"Buckle up and then shut up….we gotta get across town in 8 minutes."
"Oka..!!!" Before Kripa could finish her word, Angad hit the accelerator with all the force he had in his. They were at the airport 6 minutes early.
"Oh my god, nearly gave me a heart attack back there…who are we meeting anyways?"
"Um…the most important woman in my life…only my EVERYTHING." Angad said nervously, attempting to smooth his hair down, "Kripa, fix your hair and get some make-up on. You look a mess. Try and straighten your clothes out too."
She pretended to smooth her dupatta out while she stated angrily, "I look amazing, or as amazing as any girl who fell asleep on cold grass at 3 o'clock can look."
"I'm kidding, you look gorgeous. How does my hair look?" Angad asked nervously.
"Terrible." Kripa laughed as Angad's eyes grew wide, "Gosh man, I'm kidding…you look like you were gonna cry."
"No, I'm just kind of tense, she's meeting you for the first time you know.
"Who?"
"My Dadi."
"I've met your dadi before," Kripa argued
"Yes. But always as Aaliya's friend, not as my girlfriend. So…"
"She makes or breaks me?"
"Yeah, basically."
"So, if your family didn't like it, you wouldn't be in love with me?"
"Yes…I mean no." Kripa was getting upset by Angad's indecisiveness.
"If my parents didn't like it, I would wait before I told them I love you. Like what we're gonna do with your parents…" Angad said more clearly, he softened his tone, hoping not to offend Kripa.
"My parents love you…"
"No, your mom loves me, your dad hates my guts. He will shoot me when you get home this afternoon."
"Oh. I think your dadi is here though."
"Why do you say that?" asks Angad.
"Because she's standing right behind you." Kripa smiled. Angad let out a small oh, before he turned around and hugged his grandmother. Kripa always thought it was the sweetest when Angad's face lit up when he saw his dadi. Kripa touched Dadi's feet, before Angad stumbled over his words trying to introduce Kripa.
"Dadi, you know Kripa, my…..uh. my…uh…my ga…"
"Your girlfriend." Dadi completed smirking.
"Thank you." Angad and Kripa said simultaneously. He sighed a breath of relief. Before Kripa and Dadi let out in a burst of laughter.
"What?" asked a confused Angad
"Your cute when your nervous." Kripa said pinching his cheek.
"Um…thank you? Let's go home."
When getting home, Angad told Dadi about how they had spent the night at the park, hoping she could calm their angry parents down with some made-up story.
"Angad beta, Kripa beta you know you should be spending the night out like that. Don't do it again…especially not with each other…It worries your parents…and me."
"Yes dadi." The couple said in agreement.
"Lekin iss baar jaane de rahi ho, only cuz Kripa ne mere se pehli baar kuch maanga hai. Mein sambaloongi."
"Thank you!" gleefully Kripa kissed Dadi's cheek.
"Your welcome beta, but remember only this time."
"Yes ma'am." They arrived at the house. As the three walked in, the overheard Dilip and Naina talking in the living room.
"This is the limit, he's STILL not home. I called all his friends, he's not anywhere. Today is a national holiday so no clubs or pubs were open last night. I called Kripa's parents, she's not home either. Where could those two go? How irresponsible are these children."
"Relax Naina. We don't have to worry about Kripa, she's with Angad."
"That's why I'm worried!!!! Everyone knows how the feel about each other."
"They hate each other." Dilip says in a confused, sarcastic duh! tone.
Just that moment, Kartik walks in, "Hey guys. What's up?"
"Kripa and Angad have been missing since last night" states Naina warily.
"Uh oh." Kartik says in a mischievious tone, "We all know what that means…" He laughs obnoxiously
"What?" asks Dilip.
"Well Dad, when two people love each other…" he trails off into the birds and the bees talk.
"Shut up Kartik, who love each other?" asks Dilip, who is at this point supremely confused.
"ANGAD AND KRIPA!" Kartik and Naina yell in unison.
From outside the door, Kripa and Angad are very confused.
"How do they know?" Kripa asked
"Everyone knew." Dadi said.
"Everyone…I found out last night?" said Angad.
"You've always been a little slow." laughed Kripa. The three decided to walk in on that moment.
"Where have you been?!"
"They were with me." Dadi said.
"Maa?" Dilip says running to her. He touches her feet and then hugs her. Naina is also surprised.
"I showed up last night, my flight was early so Kripa was nice enough to meet me at the airport, then she called Angad. We had a nice little chat, that's why they couldn't call. I'm sorry if they worried you." explained Dadi, winking at Kripa.
"No, no maaji. It's fine really." laughed Naina, "Kartik, put your grandmother's things in her room."
"Yes ma'am. Angad and Kripa, why don't you guys come with me?" Kartik says.
"Uh sure…" the two say unsure.
~LATER THAT NIGHT~
"So?" Kartik asks the couple in private.
"So?" Kripa smiles thinking of last night.
"What happened? Where were you guys?"
"Dadi told you guys already…" –Angad
"And I don't believe a word of it. What REALLY happened? Angad, I'm your older brother and Kripa you've known me as long as you've known him, someone better tell me something." -Kartik
"We were at the park all night." -Kripa
"Why?" –Kartik
"Angad called me there."
"For what?" –Kartik
"I dunno, I missed her, I wanted to talk to her and meet her so we met up in the park."
"You missed HER?" he said stressing the HER.
"Why? He can't miss me?" Kripa said defensively.
"I don't know, did you miss him?" -Kartik
"Yeah." -Kripa
"Oh my god…" Aaliya says walking into the room.
"I know." agrees Kartik, shaking his head in disappointment.
"What?" Angad and Kripa ask
"I can't believe you didn't tell me!" Aaliya says punching Angad in the arm. Kartik yells "Yeah!" and punches him in the other arm.
"Ow! Tell you what?!" Angad yells.
"You know what." Kartik says.
"He didn't know guys. I said it first. Cuz he's dumb like that." Kripa said as Kartik and Aaliya looked at each other and bust out in laughter.
"Hey I could've said it first, I would've…that day in the bathroom. But she cut me off."-Angad
"Kripa went in the boys bathroom?" Kartik asked.
"No, your bhai followed me into the girl's washroom." Kripa said joining Aaliya in her laughter.
"Man, you must REALLY love her if you followed her in there."
"Yeah, I must." Angad says glaring at a laughing Kripa. Kripa's phone rang and the smile was wiped right off her face. Angad's hand beat hers to the race to her cell phone. He picked up the phone and said "Hello."
"Give the phone to Kripa." said the man who obviously had to be Prithvi.
"She's not here."
"I know that b****, she's there. Just give her the f****ing phone."
"Listen man, I don't know who you are but you better stop calling, she's not here so back off."
"Sure" says the man unbelieving, "Kripa's not there, when she comes back tell her Prithvi's on the way to her house and he wants his money while he's at it. Bye." And the call was hastily ended.
"Kripa, it was Pr…"
"I know" Kripa said quickly, "He's here, isn't he? I swear if he goes near my family, I'll f***ing kill that b******."
"Kripa, who is he?" Angad asked. When the phone call had came, Kartik and Aaliya left to pick up Tanya and Nikhil (their respective partners.)
"My past. I used to love him…" Kripa said near tears. Angad winced at the thought of Kripa being with someone else.
"When?" Angad questioned, also near tears.
"Before Maa died. When she died, I fell in a deep depression." At this point, tears began to fall from Kripa's eyes
"You don't still…?" Angad's eyes welled up.
"Of course not. It's just that…that year I was in Nainital…Me and Prithvi lived together. I always kept my distance from him, but somehow he talked me into drugs.
"Drugs?"
"He got me…addicted…to heroin." She pulled her sleeve up to show all the little dots on her arm, possibly signifying needle marks.
"Who knew about this?" asked Angad.
"Aaliya and Tanya. They brought me out of it. At some point, he started beating me up…that's when they told me he was getting to be too much. The thing is…" more tears flowed from Kripa's eyes, "I don't know what all he did to me while I was high…"
Angad pulled her into his arms. "Shhhh, its okay." he said stroking her hair. Between sobs, she continued the story. "I borrowed a lot of money to buy drugs from him…now he wants his money. And if he doesn't get it…he'll…he'll…."
"Shhhh…." continued Angad.
"He wants me back…Just leave me alone Angad. I don't want him to hurt you." Her words were barely audible between her sobs, "I'm not good enough for you anyways…" Kripa cried harder and harder.
Angad continued to console her. "Don't you dare ever say that again. You are the most perfect girl in the world. Kripa, I love you. No mother******, Prithvi can do a bit of harm to you, me, or your family." He looked into her eyes for her to stop crying and said, "I'm here, trust me."
"I trust you." Kripa said burying her head into his chest. Angad looked ahead, fury burning in his eyes. He knew he wouldn't let Prithvi go even if he did die.
~That part was pretty long, did anyone guess that? I thought it was pretty interesting myself, what did u ppl think? don't say 'gr8 part cont soon' if u do, ill send u a message everyday saying sumthing annoying lyke 'i lyke cheese' lol jk. i <3 comments!!!!~
