Part 23:

The exam week had begun.  Angad and Kripa wrote each exam with full confidence as they had worked hard on it.  Whenever Kirpa would feel like giving up, Angad would boost her confidence and Kripa did the same when Angad felt low.  Atlast, they were done all their exams.  They were asked to pick up their final marks in a week.  Angad and Kripa packed their stuff from Angad's beach house and headed back to Khanna Mansion.  Surprisingly, they were welcomed by Anjali and dhruv as soon as they reached.

Kripa: Anjali!!!!!!!!!!!! how are you sweety?.......Dhruv..how are you?  i hope you didnt bother my friend too much

Anjali: bother kiya na...bahut kiya....tabhi to...(she put her hand on her stomach and blushed)

Kripa smiled and caressed Anjali's stomach.

Kripa: I cant believe this...im going to be a maasi....you know...i was so surprised when you told me on the phone the other day....but its so great to know this.

Angad: congratulations Dhruv....Anjali!

Dhruv: Aliyah aur josh kahan hai?

Anjali: i was so upset...how dare aliyah get engaged without me around?

Kripa: Anjali...aur koi door ka mahurat nahi tha...aur agar shaadi usi mahurat pe nahi hui to do teen saal tak un dono ki shaadi ke liye koi shubh din nahi tha...isi liye..sab kuch jaldi mein karna pada....and jiju....you asked where josh and aliyah are....they must be out i suppose...its so cute.....they are spending a lot of time together...

Anjali: Kripa...on that note...everyone is spending more time with their life partner excluding you and Angad....you havent even gone on your honeymoon yet....slow pokes...

Angad looked at Kripa to see her reaction, when he figured her uncomfortable expression.

Angad: who said we dont spend enough time togehter?  and about the honeymoon...we were busy until now....your wedding, mamma aur pappa ka incident, hamari exams....aur ab...aliyah ki shaadi........tum logo se fursat mile...to hum jayenge na honeymoon par?

Everyone laughed and sat having a chat after a long time.  Soon they were joined by Josh and aliyah.  They were all talking, and having a nice time while teasing each other when Naina dropped by.

Naina: suno...mein aur dadi ali ki shopping ke liye jaa rahe hai....tum sab mein se kisi ko aana hai kya?

All the girls got up to leave while the guys sat back as if they didn't hear anything.  All the girls giggled and bid bye to their respective man and turned to follow naina who was already heading out the door.  All the guys held the girl's wrists.

Josh: ali...thats not how you say bye to me...

Dhruv: what happened to our deal Anju?

Aliyah: josh.......are you mad? yahan pe sab hai...

Josh: they are not any different than us honey.......

Aliyah: argh...fine!

Aliyah bent down and placed a kiss on josh's lips.

Dhruv: see anju?....they are not even married....we are.......and our little one is coming soon too.....what will my son or my daughter think?  mom doesnt love dad?  c'mon sweety....my kiss.....

Anjali shook her head, bent down, and placed a kiss over his lips as well.  Angad and Kripa just looked at the other couples with a smile on their face.  Kripa turned to Angad and without him having to ask, she pecked him on his cheek.  All the girls left leaving the guys alone.  Now that the girls were gone, guys were all quiet and bored when suddenly josh jumped up.

Josh: IDEA!!!!

Angad and Dhruv got startled at the sudden scream and jumped out of their seats as well.

Angad: what?   what idea?

Dhruv: what is going on in that tiny brain of yours?

Josh whispered the guys their "plan".  After he was done, all guys hi fived each other and left to their destination.

On the other hand, the girls were having a blast shopping.  The had enough clothes and jewlery for the wedding but as the guys say "Ladies never get tired of shopping".  After three long hours of shopping, the ladies went back home and found the guys sitting in the exact spot they had left them.  They were talking  about something while laughing in between.  As soon as Josh saw Aliyah struggling with her bags, he ran to help her out.

Anitah: Dhruv.....sweety.......look how he is helping her...and they are not even married!

Dhruv(mumbling): are waah!  mera dialouge mujh par hi istemaal kar rahi hai.

Dhruv reluctantly got up to help Anjali.  Angad was about to get up from his seat when Kripa signaled him to stay.  But angad being Angad, didnt listen to her and walked up to her anyways.  He forcedly made Kripa hand him some bags.  Both walked into their rooms to keep the clothes away.  Kripa took out each dress carefully, purposely avoiding a black bag.  She folded each dress and kept it in her cupboard and set all her jewlery in its proper place.  At last, she saw the black bag and looked at angad who was lying on the bed silently observing her.  Kripa took the bag, took out a maroon and white sherwaani and handed it to Angad.

Kripa: here...this is for you...

Angad: oh..um...thanks but you didnt have to..

Kripa: i didnt.....mom bought this set for us...she wants us to dress in these on the wedding day...

Angad: um...anything special going on that day?

Naina(entering the room): Abhi se mat bhulo Angad...kripa maar daalegi....

Angad: aisi kya baat hai?

Naina: Angad....Aliyah ki shaadi ke din, tum dono ki shaadi ko 6 mahine hote hai......you can call it your half anniversary if you want.  I want you both to dress as if its your wedding.....

Angad: but mom...

Naina: are.....kripa bhi pehle "par mom par mom" kar rahi thi..aur ab tum......don't worry...phir se tumhari shaadi nahi karenge lekin mein chahti hoon ki tum dono waise hi taiyaar ho jaise apni shaadi ke din hue the....kyun ki iss baar dadi aapko dekhna chahti hai...

Angad: theek hai mom...jaisa aap chahe.

Naina caressed Kripa cheek and left them alone.  Kripa was about to walk into the washroom when Angad held her back.

Angad: where are you going?

Kripa: to change

Angad: dont......we're going out.

Kripa was about to say something but without listening to her, angad held her hand and walked downstairs where Dhruv and Josh were waiting with their respective girls.

Dhruv: ready guys?

Angad: yup.

Anjali: can you guys tell us whats going on?

Kripa: um..where are we going?

Angad: Kripa...come here......there is something near your eyes..

Kripa walked up a step so he could remove the "something" but instead, he took out a black strip of cloth and tied it around her eyes completely blindfoling her.  Dhruv did the same to Anjali while josh blindfolded Aliyah. 

Aliayh: um...are we being kidnapped?

Josh: yehi samajh lo..

The guys led the ladies to the car and sat them down.  The three cars headed to a destination that the ladies were completely unaware of.  After a few hours all three cars came to a stop.  By this time all the girls were annoyed with the guys.  Kripa heard the door close and she waited patiently for the door to open but nothing of that sort happened.  Eventually, the wait became as long as ten minutes.  She managed to remove the piece of cloth that was covering her eyes.  She looked around and saw nothing but an empty road, trees and all she heard was silence which was broken every now and then by the wooshing of the wind. She opened the door and stepped out of the car and saw Josh's car behind Angad's.  Dhruv's car was behind Josh's car.  Kripa quickly walked over and saw Aliyah sitting in there struggling with the knot.  Kripa helped Aliyah untie the knot.  Aliyah was about to scream at kripa thinking it was josh but stopped upon seeing Kripa.

Aliyah: Kripa........where are the guys?  i've been waiting here for ten minutes...

Kripa: same here..i just stepped out of the car...something is fishy...and im cold in this mini skirt.....

Aliyah: and on top of that.....we're all wearing tanktops......atleast the guys could have told us that its going to be cold where we're going.......i would have dressed properly..

Anjali(from her car): Dhruv..............kahan ho tum?....

Aliyah and Kripa rushed over to her and helped her as well.  All three girls stood in the middle of the road all confused.

Aliyah: you know what?.....i think the guys are playing a prank on us..

Anjali: but they would never do something like that..

Kripa: they are guys sweety.....they can do anything......alright..how about we backfire their prank on them?

Aliyah: yea lets hide......
