Part 38:
Angad held Kripa's hand and walked on the deserted beach while talking non stop.  He knew all his words were falling on deaf ears.  Kripa was lost in thoughts, He knew exactly which thoughts.  She needed to let it out.  She can't keep it in her, it will send her into depression.  He had to make her cry or else she would become depressed again.  He stopped walking causing Kripa to stop.  He moved her in front of him while she had her eyes dug into the sand.  Both knew that if she looked into his eyes, she would busrt into tears and that exactly what he did.

Angad(tilting her head upwars pushing her chin gently): Kripa...look at me..(Kripa didnt move)...Kripa...i said look at me.

She was so weak at this point, that she didnt even need to look at him.  She started crrying in gentle sobs which turned into hysterical ones by the time Angad embraced her.  he just held her, letting her get rid of all those darned tears so that they would never come back again.  Kripa poured her heart out in his arms, crushing his perfectly ironed shirt and suit with tears.

Kripa stood by the mirror taking off her jewlery after the tiring party when she felt two strong pairs of arms go around her waist.  She looked up in the mirror and smiled shyly at her husband.  He stopped her hands that were working on her jewlery and started removing them himself leaving a kiss after each ornament was removed. Kripa felt much lighter after all the heavy jewlery was taken off.  Angad just cuddled her and stood there without saying anything.  After a while, kripa parted from him.

Kripa: um..mein...change karke aati hoon.....

Angad(held her hand): want me to help?

Kripa(gasped and blushed): no thanks...i am a big girl...

Angad: oh I know that...i just dont want my wifey to get tired....

Kripa: Angad...tumhe manane se mein nahi thak ti...to change karne se kaise thakungi?  You know how hard it is to convince you for anything?

Angad(twitched his lips): fine....go..change....come back soon though....mujhse ab ek second ki doori bhi bardaasht (tolerate) nahi hoti...

Kripa rushed herself into the washroom to change before Angad changed his mind.  When she came back, she noticed the room's lights were off.  It was pitch dark. 

Kripa: Angad......

Kripa tried making her way to the bed in the dark but she felt someone pulling her in a different direction.  Before she knew it, she was out in the sitting room of their suite which was dimly lit by candles.

Angad(hugged her from behind): kaisa laga?

Kripa: its nice....par ye sab kyun?

Angad: cricket khelne ke liye...

Kripa: theek hai....lekin pehle batting mein karungi...

Angad: tumne to pehle hi mujhe clean bowled kar diya hai....ab kya batting karogi...tum to pehle hi jeet chuki ho, mujhe aur mere dil ko bhi...aur ye sab na...... meine tumhe maska lagane ke liye kiya hai.....you know....a sort of bribe?

Kripa: bribe?....and why exactly do you want to bribe your wife Mr.Khanna?

Angad pulled her to the couch and sat her down while he kneeled before her.

Angad: Kripa...agar mein tumse kuch maangu....to tum mana to nahi karogi?

Kripa: Angad....jo mera hai...woh sab to kabse tumhara hai...to phir permission lene ki kya jarurat hai?

Angad handed her a letter and gestured her to read it.  Kripa read through the whole thing in no time.  She was surprised by what was presented to her.

Kripa: Angad..ye...

Angad: let me explain Kripa....i applied before you came back to India....but..now I got an admission there and i really want to continue my further education in Canada...

Kripa: are you sure you are not doing this because you think im not happy here?

Angad: no Kripa...i know you love it here....i can see it....i can see how well you have bonded with mom, dad, and dadi....i would never think of separating you from them...i wasn't even expecting to get accepted there...and now that i am....i dont know what to do....

Kripa: you dont know what to do?.....what is that supposed to mean....Angad...this is once in a lifetime opportunity!....GO FOR IT.  Dont let it slip out of your hands....UofT (university of Toronto) is a well knows university for this course.....you should definitely go....and I am a canadian citizen..i can go whenever i want to.....

Angad: really?...you would move there with me?

Kripa: of course angad....yeh bhi koi puchne ki baat hai?...lekin...yahan par mom, dad and dadi akele?

Angad: i talked to them too....they have no problems moving there.....afterall, its only for 3 months!..but...if i get the other course i wanted...we might have to move there for about 3-4 years.....

Kripa: well...tum jahan bhi mujhe le jaoge..mein tumhare saath chalungi angad...you dont have to ask me for such things....aisi baatein paraye logon se puchte hai.....kya tum mujhe paraya kar dena chahte ho?

Angad: ofcourse not Kripa.....a body can't separate from its soul until death.....you are my soul Kripa....i promise you we won't separate till death do us apart..

Kripa(wiped her tear): look what you did to me...angad..aaj ke baad...agar aisi koi bhi baat ho na....to tumhe mujhe puchne ki koi jarurat nahi hai...you just come and tell me.....tumhara haq banta hai...

Angad: Kripa...yaad hai..aaj tumne kaha tha ki its not about you or me anymore..its about us...both our opinions have to agree...

Kripa smiled, kissed his cheek, and hugged him resting her head on his chest.

Kripa: so this is why you lit up the room like this?...

Angad: um no....actually....we're watching a movie...

Kripa: oh cool.....which one...

Angad(lying): um...i dont know...dhruv gave it to me...he said its pretty good...i havent seen it yet...its pretty old...i forget the name..

Kripa: alright..hold on...i'll be right back...

Kripa went into the bedroom and came back with a blanket and a pillow for the two.  By that time, Angad had the TV and DVD player set up.  Angad spread himself on the couch while Kripa sat between his legs, pulling the blanket over both of them.  Angad leaned back on the pillow, pulling Kripa on him completely.  He grabbed his hand and tangled their fingers as soon as he pushed "play".  Kripa's body stiffened as she saw the name of the movie.  She swallowed hard and the grip she had on Angad's palm automatically got tighter.  The movie was none other than "The Grudge".  During any scary scence in the movie, Kripa would grab his hand tighter and close her eyes trying not to make a fool of herself.  She managed to fall asleep right there on the couch while Angad cuddled her from behind.

Angad(whispering): Kripa....wake up sweety...

Kripa slowly opened her eyes and smied seeing her love first thing in the morning.  She felt warm and cozy in Angad's arm on the tiny couch that they had shared throughout the night.

Angad: good morning sleeping beauty...

Kripa: good morning....time kya hua?

Angad: its only 11.

Kripa: WHAT!!!  11????  werent we supposed to leave??? Angad...you need to learn to wake me up....how come you never wake me up?

Angad: learn to wake you up?....thats what i've been doing for the past...oh i dont know.....AN HOUR?

Kripa: well maybe you werent trying hard enough!

Angad: I wasnt trying hard enough?  YOU SLEEP AS IF YOU HAVE NOT SLEPT IN YEARS!!!

Kripa: WELL WHAT??  YOU EXPECT ME TO SLEEP LIKE A ROBOT??  Click the "wake up" button and im up in a second...

Both stared at each other frowning until they burst out into laughter at their own childish fight.
