Chapter 29
NOTE: Hussein will be played by Eman Shah aka Pushkar form Kasam Se from now on
I love you…but I'm not in love with you
All night Angad was on his bed, Kripa's words kept coming to him, as if it was haunting him. Kripa, if there was anyone in this world he DIDN'T want to love, it was Kripa. Kripa, the girl who was his best friend, his girlfriend, his trust, and support…Kripa. Strange that he didn't want to love Kripa, it true. Love…Angad perhaps didn't know how to love, but he did know one thing, that with love comes pain…and he not in in wildest dreams would want to fill this perfect relationship he and Kripa had, with pain. Or was that all an excuse, was their another reason behind Angad not letting Kripa into his heart…something maybe Angad himself hadn't yet discovered.
It was Saturday morning and Angad woke up to this horrible noise. He listened closely and realized that wasn't noise…that was…
A- DADI!
Angad quickly woke up, shaved, took a shower. He wore his best home clothes and went out. Outside in the kitchen there was another shower…a shower of FOOD. Whenever Angad's dadi comes over, she brings with her 3 cases of food with her.
U- Mama, we eat dine, you don't need to bring all this
D- Nonsense, you doctors are always eating grass, how do you expect a young boy to grow if he doesn't eat some nice home cooked Indian food!
U- Mama, I know how to raise Angad I've been doing it for a while now, I know what I'm doing!
D- Yes, yes, so you don't you get married and raise some of your own children now!
U- Mother!
Angad knew that this was exactly when you should make his entrance. He went and touched dadi's feet. (Dadi played by Maya Alag aka Dadi from KYPH).
D- Bless you beta, how are you. Look, you became so thin.
A- I'm good dadi, how are you?
D- Fine beta…you know it's not easy living alone in this age, but look at my luck. I gave birth to two children and I'm still alone.
U- Mama you can always come and live with us
Angad almost chocked on his water when Urvashi said that.
D- Oh beta, are you okay…here come sit, lest eat some real food. God knows what Urvashi has been feeding you. I begged her to learn how to cook, but she wanted to become a doctor.
A- It's okay, I like the food Bua feeds me
D- Your so sweet, just like your father
U- Bhai was never sweet.
D- Of course he was!
Kripa woke up at home with a terrible headache. Flashed from last night kept coming back to her. She remember, everything…even what she said to Angad. She wasn't unhappy she said it, because she knew for a while now that she was in love with Angad. She had only wished she wasn't drunk when she did, she couldn't even remember if Angad was said it back to her, had he?
Meem woke up to a lot of noise. Screaming and telling. It seemed to be two male voices screaming at each other, she recognized the first one to be her fathers, bit the other one was very unknown to her. She slightly opened her door, and peaked outside.
- She's my daughter, you cant keep her from me!
MA- NO! She's not your daughter, you disowned her the day you left her mother while she was pregnant!
- That was a mistake, I know it was, but you cant keep Meem from me!
MA- I sure as hell can, she's not legal daughter, not yours!
-…..please just let me see her once
Meem realized who the other person was, it was her father…her REAL father
MA- Waqas, you will leave my home right now, and never look back.
Waqas, that was her REAL fathers name, Waqas. And she was Meem, Waqas's daughter. Mr. Waqas was now of an ass then she'd thought. Here he was demanding you see Meem, declaring Meem was HIS daughter, where was he when Meem was an orphan, when she had no one? He was no where, probably getting some other poor woman pregnant. Meem hated him even before knowing him.
Waqas left her house, but just before he did Meem saw his face….Waqas, she looked just like him, and she hated herself for it too.
Kripa was walking by the lake trying to get her thoughts together, she saw Meem there as well and went to her.
K- Hey
M- No not now, I have way to much going on in my life to have to listen to your crap
K- Okay…Meem, I'm sorry
M- What?
K- I'm sorry I was, well…you know.
M- Okay?
K- I just…Shazad's my best friend, I just couldn't see him hurt.
M- I guess I understand
K- Thanks, friends?
M- Friends
K- Thanks, bye
M- See ya at school
Shazad was playing basketball, in the court when Kripa came and stole the ball from him.
S- Hey
K- HAHA! You play so bad even a girl can beat you.
S- Why are you insulting yourself?
K- Whatever…anyway…and made up with Meem.
S- Really?
K- Yeah but I only did it because you told me too, I personally think she's a *****
S- Yeah well you are you
K- Yes but I'm the good *****,she's the evil kind. Like the one who ends up in the mental hospital
S- That be fun to see
K- Yeah…anyway so you mind telling me why the sudden interest in making me and Meem friends
S- Nothing special, I just feel bad for her…friendless
K- Fashion sense less…that's made no sense but who cares
S- So what's up with you.
K- I'm in love with Angad
S- WOW!
K- Yeah…I told him yesterday
S- What did he say?
K- I dunno, I was kinda drunk
S- Worst time to say I LOVE YOU kid.
K- I know
S- So why don't you go to his place and talk to him?
K- His dadi is over, he doesn't want me around
S- And why do you care?
K- I care because I love him
S- Well love requires you to do crazy things, now go and talk to him
K- Really?
S- Uff…you want me to do it for you?
K- No
S- Well then…
K- Fine I'm going! Jeez!
Angad couldn't take his dadi anymore. He just couldn't, and honestly nether could Urvashi. They spent the whole morning purifying the house with all these different puja's, and Angad…except the celebrating Diwali part, he was pretty much an atheist. Even he was praying to God to make Dadi stop paying to god. Just as they were about to eat their evening snack, which according to dadi was what according to Angad was a full course meal. Just then the bell rang and Urvashi opened the door to see none other then Kripa. Angad literally swallowed ed the whole entire sweet he was eating at once when he saw Kripa.
U- What are you
K- Namaste aunty
U- Huh?
D- How are you
Kripa came in, and touched Dadi's feet.
K- Namaste Dadi
D- Yes yes…and you are
K- I'm Angad's friend Kripa..I heard you were hear, and I just really wanted to meet you. Angad always talks about you
D- Aww thank you beta, come sit with me
Angads eyes were about to fall out of his head.
D- Angad drink some water your turning blue
K- Yes Angad, you should drink some water.
D- Kripa beti, would you like some sweets?
K- Oh thank you dadi, I'd love some.
D- So sweet, beti excuse me while I go to the ladies room
K- Sure…
D- What a nice young girl
Just as dadi went to the bathroom, Urvashi drank a cold glass of water and Angad pulled Kripa into his room.
A- Okay we have 5 minutes, Dadi taked exactly 5 mins in the bathroom every time she goes.
K- Okay
A- What the hell are you doing here
K- I came to meet you Dadi Angad
A- WHY!!
K- Well okay, I name to see you…I need to talk to you
A- NOOO, No talking, no touching, no kissing, no hugging, no eye contact, no anything!
K- But…
A- Kripa…now that you're here, I cant do anything about that, but you have to…pretend that were brother and sister
K- WHAT? Angad if I pretend you're my brother I will never be able to kiss you again.
A- Okay not brother..um…pretend were…um…in laws
K- in laws? Jiju?
A- I don't know, but we cant do anything not Indianish
K- Indianish? Angad chill out, I know how to handle these things, don't you see Dadi, she loves me already.
A (deep breath)- Okay
K- Lets go
A- Wait…we have 3 minutes left
K- So?
A- Come here
Angad pulled Kripa to him and made out for the 3 minutes.
Then they went back to the living room and waited for dadi to come out.
U- Could you two not control them over active hormones of yours for one day!!!!
K- Sorry
U- My goodness
Dadi came out and they once again put up the act of brother sister…in laws….umm being Indianish. Dadi went to bed and now finally Angad and Kripa went out to the door step to talk.
K- Angad…what I said last night, I just wanted to tell you that I meant it. I really do love you, a lot. And I know were just 18 and all of that, but I cant help how I feel. I…I wont say that I don't want you to love me back, but…I hope you do.
Angad was silent, he didn't say anything. WOW. The Angad right now, was so different from the Angad 15 minutes ago, this Angad seemed so much more mature, so much more manly. He stared at her with his brown Satan eyes, staring in her loving eyes…trying so hard to fall in love with her.
K- So…
He slowly kissed her forehead, and hugged her.
A- I love you too…
Kripa had never been so happy to hear Angad speak. She had thought his silence meant her love was one sided, but it wasn't…Angad also loved her. She hugged him back, kissed him and went in her car and drove away.
A- I love you Kripa, I love you more than anyone…but…I'm not IN love with you. I'm sorry.
Angad knew he shouldn't have told Kripa what he did. He knew he should have just told her that he didn't love her…but he couldn't. He couldn't break yet another heart. He went up to his room and opened up the envelope. He read the letter once again…it was his college acceptance letter…he was accepted o MIT. MIT, one of the best school for engineering a person could go to. At first Angad was certain that he was going to stay in New York for college, but now…perhaps he should go far, perhaps it was time to leave New York, to leave this world…and to make a new world. Angad had lost himself a mist all these people…Shazad, Kripa, Meem, Raj, Mr. Das, Ms.Nisa, Urvashi…perhaps it was time Angad found himself again.
To be cont…

As we are getting near the season finale, we see a lot of things unravel. Meems father came for her, what will happen there? Why is Shazad suddenly interested about Meem? Was Angad right for telling Kripa he loved her even though he didn't mean it?
