Part- 20- Hoping…

     Soon after Angad also was released from the hospital. Everything was going pretty good for him too, but he still had to be taking his medicines for a while. Tomorrow would be his first day of school after the surgery. He was lying on his bed thinking about everything that's happened these past days. Thinking about how much his life had changed, how much he had changed. He picked up his phone wanting to call Vedika and tell her everything…tell her why he couldn't love her, tell her why he couldn't stop her. In a way he was heartbroken, for he really did care for Vedika, a lot…he tried calling her, but he couldn't…he'd hang up after the third ring. He wouldn't wait for the forth ring because then it would leave a missed call message of her phone, and she'd call him back…he didn't want her to call him back.
     Suddenly the phone rang, Angad started to panic. Did it leave a missed call message, was this Vedika, what would he say to her. He kept thining about what to do, then gathered up all his courage and answered the phone. In a shaky, terrified voice the said
A- Hello?
K- Angad, you loser what took you so long yo pick up
A (relief)- Kripa! Thank God
K- Huh? Anyway, so I was thinking that I'll pick you up tomorrow, you kno for moral support.
A- really? I'd like that
K- Cool
A- Can you come over right now?
K- Sure, but why
A- I dunno, I'm bored
K- Thinking about Vedika?
A- NO!!! Im just…bored, an since IO know you never do anything on a Sunday night, or any other night I thought you were the perfect person to call
K- Buddy, I called you
A- Whatever, are you coming or not?
K- Give me 5 minutes.
A- It takes you longer to get to my house
K- No I meant give me 5 minutes to put on my clothes
A- Just come with what your wearing now, I don't care
K- You want me to come naked?
A- I wouldn't mind
K- Loser….bye
   Kripa hang up and got dressed. Angad was still in his room when Urvashi came in
U- Hey
A- Hey Bua, what's up
U- Nothing…how are you feeling now?
A- fine, cant wait to get out of bed
U-I can understand…
A- Bua, so how are you? You know, after Mr.Das and your breakup
U- I'm fine…well it stinks that I had to spend all that money to the wedding hall and dress but it's ok
A (laughing) - I love you Bua
U- I love you too, I guess its just genetic that we have bad love lives.
A- No, Mom and Dad had a good life
U- Yes…they did, I very good life Angad, and a great son to top it off.
     Meem and Shazad met for dinner that night. Meem had told her parents that she had to go to her friends house for a project, which was a total lie. She really was getting better at the whole lying thing. Shazad brought red flowers for her. You could still see some of the marks of his face, but Meem didn't care. She was just happy he was okay
S- How was your day my lady?
M- Great, and your?
S- Fine, it just got a lot better now
M -that's nice
S- So, lets order? What would you like madam?
M- I don't know…anything you like
S- Aw that's sweet.
Shazad kissed Meem and hugged her as they looked through the menu. While eating Meem suddenly brought up a party Shazad went to. He had told Meem that he didn't go, but he really did…and not only did he go but…
M- So, I heard you went to Adams party
S- No, I thought you I didn't.
M- Really? Because, I think you did
S- You said that to you?
M- No one
S- No, someone did…or else why would you get the idea
M- I don't know…whatever.
S- I hate your "whatever's"
M-(laughing) Why
S- Because you get so uncommunicative after that
M- Whatever. Lets eat
    Shazad dropt her home, well not home, two blocks away from home. That really pissed him off, again. Meem got off, and just before leaving she put her head through the window kissed Shaad, and said
M-You should check you Adam's myspace some day
S- Huh?
M- Bye
Meem left and Shazad went home confused.
Kripa and Angad were in his room lying on the bed talking.
K- Your best birthday
A- The last birthday I spent with my parents…it was my 13th birthday. My dad he got my a razor…not the phone, the real shaving razor. It was a joke since 13 is the year to supposedly become a teenager and all. My mom baked a cake…it was a red race care. I can still taste it. It was perfect.
K- That's sweet. Angad I'm really sorry about your parents.
A- Yeah…I stinks
K- But at least you have their memories, I mean…my parents. Their alive but, what's the use of it.
A- I'm sure you had a few good memories with them
K- Well….maybe
    When Angad and Kripa got close to each other they didn't even know, they didn't really care. They were so comfortable with each other that the closeness wasn't all the special…or maybe they were so into talking that they didn't notice.
K- It was my brother graduation. It was I think the only day, my parents didn't fight. We um…we went upstate, you this farmhouse. And spent the day horseback riding, and just was a family. It was perfect.
A (laughing)- You rode a horse!!!! Hey cowgirl
K (laughing)- Shutup!! I was very good at it too.
A (laughing)- Did you have little Indian friends screaming their lungs off too?
K- No I didn't meet you at that time, you would have been at perfect crazy Indian. JERK!
    Kripa got up to leave but Angad pulled her back, Kripa almost fell on Anagd
A- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of you...well maybe just a little.
K- Fine…
A- Thanks for coming, you really liked it.
K- Me too.
   They started at each other, and were getting closer, just as they were about to kiss…both of them moved away at the same time. Kripa then spoke in a hesitant voice.
K- I should go, its getting late.
A- Yeah and school
K- Yeah um..I'll call you tomorrow before I up
A- Okay..bye
K- Take care
   Both Angad and Kripa were blushing so much.
K- AKWARD MUCH!
A- That was sooo WRONG!
K/A- EWWWW
Shazad was sitting in front of his computer. He was looking threw Admas myspace…then he saw them.
S- DAMN
Pictures of Shazad and a lot of other kids in the party..Shazad with another girl. He never cheated on Meem, this was from when Meem and he broke up. But with girls, that never made a difference.
S- She's mad…
Angad was looking throught his phone, he kept remembering today. Remebering everything. He went to his contacts and deleted Vedika's number…hoping that maybe this would delete Vedika from his heart…hoping.

To be cont---
