PART 13

The next morning, Angad came downstairs and every one of his family members wished him happy birthday. Then Naina came over to him and said that in honor of your birthday, we are having a grand gala at the house so be home by 8. Angad looked very content and was on his way out when Dadi entered. She looked at the worlds most pyaara baacha and wished him Happy Birthday. Angad just had smiles across his face. It was the most adorable site to see dadi hugging Angad. Then she asked if he wasn't too busy to come with her. Angad obviously agreed.

Dadi took Angad to the mandir. She said that in life on the day you are born you should always thank god for everything you are given. So they both went and prayed. Then Angad took Dadi home and headed to the studio.

As he entered the studio, every one wished him happy birthday and were excited tonight's party. Then him and Kripa started rehearsals. They both were having fun and enjoying. They decided to end practice a little early but before Angad left, he looked back at Kripa and said, Kripa you are coming tonight right. She looked at him with a very perplex look and Angad understood that she had no idea what he was talk about. So he grabber her by her elbow and took her to where Prithvi, Mishty and Manan were standing. He looked at all of them and said, I would like to personally invite all my close friends to my birthday party tonight. Then he looked at Kripa and said you guys all better come or else. He said to everyone but he was specifically speaking to Kripa. Everyone nods and says that they will be there.

As everyone is leaving, Kripa suddenly remembers Rahul's school play. She thinks to herself that if she hurries then maybe she will be able to make the play and see Rahul. So she quickly grabs her bag and says bye to everyone. She runs to Rahul's school and into the auditorium. She finds a seat and watched the play. Rahul in the back, peaked through the curtains and saw Kripa. He was actually waiting for her the whole time. He was really happy to see her. It was a weird bond that these two had created.

At the end of the play, Kripa went over to Rahul and they both gave each other really big hugs. Then Rahul took Kripa and introduced her to all his friends. He introduced her as his best friend. He would not let go of Kripa's hand. He was so happy introducing her. Then after a while Kripa asked Rahul where his parents were. Rahul looked at her and said that they couldn't make it as there were really busy with work. Kripa could see a disappointed look in Rahul's eyes. So Kripa took Rahul and said because you were absolutely fabulous I am going to take you out for Ice Cream. Obviously Rahul didn't mind and they both went to go eat ice cream. As they finished there ice cream, Rahul asked Kripa to wait by the corner as he had a surprise for her. He went running and grabbed her a pink rose and said thank you. Kripa looked at him and said for what. He said for coming and watching the play. It was very nice to see someone that I knew. I was very happy. Kripa was touched and she picked Rahul up and squeezed him. She said I will always be there for you. Then hand in hand they both were walking along the road when all of a sudden a car came at them. Kripa was pushed out of the way by another pedestrian but unfortunately the car hit Rahul. He was thrown a couple feet away. He was laying on the pavement unconscious and with quite a bit of blood around him. Kripa ran towards him and screamed out his name. But Rahul didn't wake up. He just lied there. He didn't move! Kripa was so scared and feeling so helpless.
