Part 30:

ONE WEEK LATER:

Naina: Teddy...ye orange juice Kripa ko dedo..mein ye sandwich lekar aati hoon.

Teddy took the orange juice and started walking up the stairs.  Near the top of the staircase, teddy spilled the juice by accident.  He ran to get paper towels to clean up the mess before he got yelled at by naina but it was too late.  Just when teddy left, Kripa came out of her bedroom, and was about to take her first step down the stairs but stopped while resting her step in mid-air.

Kripa(thinking): mein shayad kuch bhul rahi hoon......lekin abhi yaad nahi aa raha...

Kripa was trying to remember what she was missing when teddy saw her standing at the staircase.  teddy said "excuse me", which startled Kripa and made her lose her balance.  She screamed as she slipped while Teddy yelled after her.  Everyone had made their way out of their room to see what the screaming and yelling was about.  Kripa went tumbling down the stairs, hitting her head on the end of the railing.  Everyone stood there shocked, trying to digest what just happened in a matter of merely two minutes.  The reality hit everyone like a thunderbolt.

AT THE HOSPITAL:

Kripa was rushed into the emergency room of the hospital as her wound on her head was bleeding terribly.  After about an hour and a half, a doctor stepped out of the operation theatre.

Doctor: Ghabhrane waali koi baat nahi....Mrs.Khanna bilkul theek hai...bas sir pe thodi si chot ayi hai...

Angad let out a long sigh of relief but his relief was too good to be true.

Doctor: um...the baby...

Angad(terrified): The baby?....what happened to the baby?

Doctor: Im sorry...we couldn't save it...Mrs.Khanna had a miscarriage.

All of Angad's dreams and hopes seemed to be shattered.  He chocked on his own voice as he tried to hold in his emotions.

Angad(cracking voice): Does Kripa know about this?

Doctor: no...she is still unconcious...we will tell her once she gets her senses back.

Everyone had tears in their eyes.  They were so happy with the new member who was soon to enter their family in full terms.  Why did their happiness get snatched from them?  Angad stood there like a statue, not letting his tears win over him.  Dilip patted his shoulder and tried to console him.

Dilip: Angad.....mat roko apne aansu ko...jitne aansu behte hai..beh jaane do kyunki Kripa ko tumhare sahare ki sabse jyada jarurat padegi...tumhe uske saamne kamzor nahi padna hai Angad...is waqt apne aansu mat roko..mein samajh sakta hoon tum par kya bit rahi hogi...aakir us nanhi si jaan ke pita the na tum..

Dilip's last sentence completely broke Angad.  He buried his face in his palms and sobbed for as long as he could.  After about 45 minutes, a nurse came out and told them that Kripa was slowly getting her conciousness back.  No one moved an inch from their seats.

Naina: angad...mujhe lagta hai is waqt sirf tumhe jaana chahiye...ek kaam karo...hum sab ghar chale jaate hai...tum Kripa ke saath raho....agar hum sabko dekhegi to usse baar baar bacche ki yaad ayegi.....himmat se kaam lena Angad.

To which Angad just nodded and bid bye to everyone while everyone bid him bye with sympathy as well.  He sadly made his way to Kripa's room.  His heart ached at seeing her with a bandage across her upper forehead, her face looking so pale and lifeless because of the loss of blood, with two skinny tubes injected into her hands, one supplying a clear liquid while the other supplied blood to her.  He went and sat on the chair beside the table taking her hand in his.  He looked at her stomach which was slightly bulged the last time he saw her but now was flat again.  His tears escaped onto his cheeks and rolled off of his cheeks onto Kripa's hand.  She shivered at the warm touch and slowly opened her eyes.  She smiled weakly at Angad after he kissed her fingers softly.

Angad(while moving hair strands away from her face): How are you feeling?

Kripa: I feel kinda weak...and different...something is not right....

When she realized what was not right...she sat up at once placing her hand on her stomach.  She questioned angad who was stealing looks fom her as he had no idea how he would break such terrible news to her.  Angad had no answer for the questions she shot at him over and over again.  At last, he managed to just shake his head sideways.  Kripa's movements froze as she just stared at Angad wide eyed while tears slowly flowed out of them.  Angad sat on the bed beside her and hugged her while she sobbed at her loss.  Angad held back the fresh tears which were forming in his eyes while he caressed her arm, soothing her, comforting her.

Angad: Kripa....bas karo...sab theek ho jayega..

Angad realized that Kripa had dozed off to sleep while sobbing.  He slowly laid her down, tucked her under the covers and left the room to meet the doctor.  The doctor told him that she will be discharged next morning.  Angad finished all formalities and went home to get dinner for Kripa.  The house was extremely quiet eventhough everyone was present in the living room.

Naina: Angad...Kripa kaisi hai?

Angad: pata nahi mom...abhi to so rahi hogi...

Naina: tumne usse bataya?  (Angad nodded in reply)  Koi Sadma to nahi laga?

Angad: nahi mom...lekin bahut ro rahi thi....aur rote rote hi so gayi...

Dadi: royegi kyun nahi.....aakhir ek maa ne apna baccha khoya hai...apna ek hissa kho diya hai......dukh to hoga...

Naina: Angad...you have to act normal around her...or talk to her about the incident once and for all because....she wont tell you how much she's paining inside...but i am sure you can imagine...

Angad: ya mom...aap chinta mat kijiye....usse kal subah discharge mil jayega...

Anjali: um...Auntyji..mein soch rahi thi ki mein aur Dhruv vapas chale jaaye...

Naina: Kyun??  Kripa ko iss halat mein akela chod kar chali jaogi?

Anjali: jaana to nahi chahti lekin uski khushi ke liye jaana hoga..auntyji...itna sab kuch hone ke baad agar Kripa mujhe aise dekhegi...to usse aur bhi dukh hoga...mein nahi chahti ki meri vajah se Kripa ko thodi si bhi taqleef ho...

Angad: lekin anjali....iss waqt kripa ko apni best friend ki jarurat bhi padegi na?

Naina: tum iski fikar chodo angad...dinner ready hai, tum vapas kripa ke pass jao..ab tak shayad jaag gayi hogi...yahan par mein sab kuch sort out kar dungi.

Angad took kripa's dinner and went back to the hospital.  When he entered the room, Kripa was lying there with her eyes closed and fresh tears on her cheek.  Angad gently wiped them making Kripa open her eyes.  She looked at him while more tears welled up in her eyes.

Angad(shook his head): bas kripa....aur nahi...bahut ro chuki tum....mein tumhe is tarah se nahi dekh sakta....please...rona band karo...

Kripa(wiped her face dry and sat up): Mujhse keh rahe ho ki rona band karo....aur tum...

Angad: Mein kya?

Kripa: tum ro rahe the na angad?...jhoot bolne ki koshish bhi mat karna...tumhari aankhon se saaf pata chalta hai ki tum bhi ro rahe the...

Angad looked down and nodded ever so gently.  Kripa extended her arms to him.  Angad, on the other hand, gave himself into her arms right away locking her in his tight but affectionate embrace.  He kissed her forehead gently after parting.  He offered her some dinner but she refused saying she wasn't hungry.

Angad: bhukh kaise nahi hai?  tumne apni saari energy to aansu mein baha di.....ab aur aansu ke liye aur energy chahiye na tumhe?...to jaldi jaldi khana kha lo..

Kripa: Tumne khana kha liya?

Angad: of course....i fed myself full...

Kripa: jhoote...mein jaanti hoon tumne khana nahi khaya.....koi baat nahi...hum dono saath mein dinner karenge...

Angad kept the plate on the table and fed Kripa while she fed him back.  After dinner, the nurse came to give Kripa her medicines.  Kripa fell asleep soon because of the medicines.

**I AM SORRY!!!!!  A few of you, or maybe ALL of you might be ready to kill me right about now....but...this was already in the storyline.....so yea**

A PROMISE FROM ME TO YOU:  I will make Angad and Kripa confess by the end of this week...no tricks this time...lol....
