Chapter 39
"Angad your going crazy, I love you but we're still in college", explained Vedika right after Angad proposed to her. Vedika got up from Angad's lap a looked towards him, but before she should say anything else, Angad spoke, "Vedika, we're in love…we practically live together, so why not get married"? "Angad it's not just get married, it's GET MARRIED", she exclaimed hoping Angad could understand. They couldn't get married, not now. There's still so much to do, so much to discover…Vedika was sure that one day she'd marry, and only marry Angad but that day wasn't today or any day before her 21st birthday at least. She was only 19 for God's sake! But of course, Angad was above logic and reason. "Vedika…we're practically married now, so what difference will it make", he asked holding her hands. "Angad! You spend what, three nights a week in my dorm, I go to your dorm to hang out? When we get married, we'll have to rent an apartment, pay rent, pay bills, social security, furniture and so much more. We don't work Angad, and trust me I doubt your Bua will still pay your expenses after you get married and I'm living off my parents life insurance money", Vedika took a breath after giving her long monologue. There was no way in hell she was getting married right now, no matter how much she loved Angad. Angad and Vedika then sat there silent…not even facing each other. "This is getting so messed up now", Angad said looking the other way.
Meem drove to meet Hussein at the Caf for some good old boyfriend girlfriend time. Hussein sounded a little sad on the phone, Meem wondered if he had a fight with his father. Maybe that's why he came back early. As she drove, her thought process ended just as she past the apartment. It was her father's…biological father that is, apartment. So many times she was tempted to go in and just look him in the eye, but never could. She was lucky New York was such a big city, Meem never had to confront him. But then again it New York, everyone meet up with everyone again. Meem parked in front of the caf and went in. She immediately spotted Hussein and kissed him on the cheek as she sat down. "Hey Mr. Park Ranger, have fun sleeping with the deer's", she asked sarcastically. Hussein smile and handed Meem her coffee without saying anything. "What's wrong Hussein", Meem asked with a genuine concerned tone. She put her hand over Hussein's hand and looked him in the eye. "Hussein, say something", she said. Hussein simply nodded and kissed Meem's hand. "I have to go", he said getting up. Meem quickly got up and hugged him and said, 'I'm so happy your back Hussein, I really missed you". Hussein held Meem for a minute as well and kiss her lightly. "I call you later", he said as he left.
It was early morning in Florida everyone headed to Disney World and a day full of fun, fun ad fun. For Kripa, day was more like filled with fun, guys, and more guy fun. Her and some of her friends Cynthia, Brooke, and Lillian all made their way to one of the roller coaster rides. While waiting on line another group came and a guy who was constantly staring at Kripa. It was as if he was recorded every movement of hers. Kripa obviously noticed, a checked him out too. He was pretty good looking. When the guy noticed Kripa's stare he came forward to make his move. "So you like roller costars", he asked. Kripa looked at him as her eye brow raised, "No, I'm just here to scare myself to death", she said sarcastically. "Oh", he replied sounding as if he was confused but didn't want to show it. Kripa found it funny because she started laughing right on the spot. "Anything funny", he said still confused but now liking it. "A lot of things", she replied now getting bored of the conversation. " How about we discuss it while we ride the roller coaster", he offered nicely and yet it sounded like any other pick up line. "It kind of sounds like you want to sit with me", Kripa said. "That's because I do", the guy who's name we still don't know replied. Just that moment their train came and the guy quickly took Kripa by the arm and sat with her on one of the rows. The conductor came putting on their seatbelts. "I cant sit next to you, I don't even no you", Kripa complaint feeling a little annoyed now. "Well, I'm Mike", he said. "Kripa", answered Kripa looking upset. "So, should we shake hands or just start kissing", he asked sarcastically and maybe 1% seriously. He was funny, he cheered Kripa up quickly. As the ride started Kripa looked at him and said, "I'll let you know when we drop". 3...2...1..DROP!
Shazad's life was reduced to nothing due to this stupid caste on his hand. It was so annoying. It was hard to pee too! First thing he was going to do when his hand got better was break the a**h*** who broke his arm's arm. The only bit of relief he'd had all day was right now when Zuzu finally came on after so long.

Hussein was hanging around the college campus when he saw Meem walking out of one of the classes. He walked up to her. "Hey", he said. "Oh hi! What are you doing here", Meem asked reaching out for his arm to hold. Hussein just slightly moved away. Meem felt awkward with Hussein's behavior ever since he came back but didn't say a word. "I'm just walking, what about you" asked Hussein. "Well. Since I have nothing else to do and my boyfriend wont spend time with me, I decided to take some extra classes", Meem explained. "Oh…okay", Hussein replied lifelessly. "Hussein, is anything the matter, you seem so depressed. Did I do anything, did your father and you have a fight. What's wrong", she begged him to say something. Hussein just shrugged and said, "Nothing, I'm just tired". Now it was just irritating Meem. 'Okay, when you want to talk…just call okay.", saying so Meem left rolling her eyes. "Okay", Hussein whispered back.
" Just take your stuff", Angad yelled out. 'I am! You don't have to yell at me Angad", yelled back Vedika. "Whatever… just want your stuff out of here!", commanded Angad as he threw more of Vedika's stuff into the box. "Everything is always a rush for you Angad! The only reason you and I are in this position right now is because you had a sudden urge to get married", complained Vedika as she packed her stuff. " Yeah, well I didn't know you needed so much damn time to do everything. Your like a turtle", he screamed back. Vedika was so agitated now. She just wanted to pack her stuff and leave. Angad's yelling and rushing was unbearable now. Marrying him sounded even crazier now. "Are you done yet!", he yelled. Yes, I'm done. See your stupid dorm doesn't have anything that belongs to me anymore. Happy? Bye!", saying that Vedika left Angad's dorm room, with the stuff she had there from before.
Kripa and her friends went to a famous night club that night to party. Kripa was having a blast with Darren. Darren…he was a guy Kripa met in the restaurant after her friends left Disney World. He's the one who told them about this club. Darren and Kripa were on the dance floor dancing to Sexy Back. "You're a damn good dancer", he said very impressed with her dance skills. "Thanks! Your not half bad your self", she said returning the complement. After a while of dancing Darren went to get them and Kripa's friends some drinks. "Guys, I think I'm drunk", said Cynthia. "Me too!", said Kripa laughing. "So, tell me how I kissed three guys in the same day", she added. "Three?", asked Cynthia counting three of her fingers and showing Kripa. "Yeah…Mike, this one, and this other I met when we went back to the hotel", Kripa said recalling if there were any more. "And you have a boyfriend", Lillian reminded Kripa. "Oh yea…I forgot. Oh well, I'm sure he's having his fun too. He's a guy after all. If they can do it, so can I. And besides, this is the time…to have fun and disco", Kripa screamed out so loud, but no one heard. "That's so messed up, its funny", said Brooke. "I know…I love it", exclaimed Kripa.
Shazad was at the park trying to throw some free throws with his caste on. There was another reason why he was here, and it actually wasn't Meem but Hussein. Shazad thought long and hard about what Zuzu said, and he didn't want to take any chances with karma anymore. This the time when Hussein usually comes to the park. And just as Shazad thought, here he was. "I swear, do you not have a home", Hussein asked this time seriously. "I do…but I wanted to talk to you", Shazad explained. "Dude, I don't have time for you…not today", Hussein said with a threat tone. "Look, all I want to say is that I lied. Meem didn't spend the day with me, and those lyrics were just from this song I like", Shazad said quickly. Hussein looked very uninterested. "You think I don't more that? Dude, I know you were just messing with me…and it was really stupid of you too", Hussein said and then he left the park. "Well…that didn't seem to help", Shazad said to himself while trying to shoot the ball again. "I hope Karma doesn't come to haunt me".
Hussein called Meem to a place by the lake that night around 8. Meem isn't allowed to leave at that time, but she made an excuse to see Hussein. She was just happy that he was talking to her again. The first thing Hussein did when he saw Meem was hug her tightly. "Hey baby", Meem said smoothing his back. Hussein let go and looked at her in the eye's. "Today's my mom's death anniversary", he said softly. "Aw, Hussein. I'm so sorry, I didn't know. Here I was thinking your mad at me, and I'm so sorry", she said as she hugged him again. "It's okay, I never told you, how would you know", replied Hussein hugging her back. " I'm just so sorry Hussein, is there anything I can do", Meem offered. " No…just. Meem I love you. I really am in love with you and I don't think I'll make it anymore without you. I don't think I can handle living without you anymore. I love you so much", Hussein said as he hugged her again. The first thought that went through Meem head was…CRAP!
Vedika put the last bit of her clothes boxes on the floor and looked up to see Angad. "So, this is it I guess", he said looking at her stuff in the boxes. "Yeah…that was the last of it", Vedika replied. "I still don't get why you were rushing me so much", she added quickly. "Because I wanted it to be over, I wanted to come here as soon as possible", Angad explained. He helped Vedika up and then smiled and hugged her. " So what do you think", he asked kissing her cheeks gently. "I think I'm excited…surprisingly not scared", Vedika said caressing Angads hair. They both stood there, looking at their new apartment they just moved into. " But, You were rushing me as if their was a bomb or something" she complained again. "Because, I wanted to get started, to start planning", he asked in a excited tone. "Oh my god…there's so much planning to do, oh my God…", Said Vedika was she thought out loud. "So how do you feel Angad", asked as he picked Vedika up in his arms a spun her around. "I cant believe it…we're getting married", declared Vedika happily!
