Part 29

That night both Kripa and Angad were turning and tossing. They couldn't sleep. Kripa loved Angad but was too scared! Angad loved Kripa but understood she needed time. He decided that for the next month while there were traveling to promote the new international tour, he was going to prove to him that he loved her and try do something about the whole "Dil."

Well the promotional tour in India was about to begin. The plan was this. They were going to go on tour for about 20 days to various cities within India. Then the last 10 days they would be doing various recordings and press interviews in Bombay.  They were suppose to leave that morning in Angad's spicy little car. But before hey took off, Angad went to go meet Karan. He expressed his concern to him regarding Kripa. They both discussed in length Kripa's case. Karan made it very clear that this was no small matter. Karan and Angad both decided that the best time for Kripa's surgery would be when they return to Bombay for 10 days. That will give her enough time to recuperate. Karan told him of certain precautions that must be taken during the next 20 days. Then he wrote some prescriptions and told Angad to take good care of Kripa. Angad got up and shook Karan's hand and left.

In the car he was quite worried for Kripa, but at the same time he knew that God wouldn't take away the one and only person he truly loved. As he was going home, he decided to grab some flowers for Kripa. He parked the car but left the flowers on the passenger seat for Kripa to have later.

He went into the house and quickly grabbed his bags. Then he ran to the outhouse to see if Kripa was ready. He walked into the room and saw Kripa standing on her tiptoes on a little stool trying to reach a duffle bag that was all the way on the top shelf. Kripa could feel someone in the room, so she slowly turned. As she turned she saw Angad but lost her balance. She was about to fall when Angad caught her. She tightly shut her eyes and when she realized that she didn't hit the floor slowly opened her eyes only to see a smiling Angad. He was just admiring her and her innocence. Kripa couldn't help but smile back at him. She said, when did you come? Angad couldn't take his eyes off her; he replied, when you were falling. Kripa started laughing and said, I don't think you will be able to carry me all the way to Poona, so why don't you put me down and I will get all my stuff. Angad said, I could carry you like this all my life. He then winked and Kripa just blushed. Finally, after a lot of pleading, Angad put her down and got the duffel bag. Kripa quickly finished her packing and they went down to the car.

As they were getting closer to the car, Kripa noticed the pretty red roses. She totally knew who they were from but decided to pull his leg. She put her bag in the back, and said wow such gorgeous flowers. I wonder who gave them to me. It must have been one of my fans. Angad, it feels so nice to be loved by so many people, doesn't it. Angad is a bit jealous that Kripa would think of a "fan" before him. He just gave her a growling look. Kripa went on to say, I really love my fan who gave me such wonderful flowers. Angad he must be a really nice person, must be just like you. At this point Angad understood that she was pulling his leg. He through his lightest bag at her playfully and started running after her. He started screaming, Kripa I am going to get you. Finally he grabs her and says, so you were playing with me huh? For that I am now going to punish you! Kripa was very scared! She was scared of what he was going to ask of her. He looked at her with a devilish smile and said, one day I will ask you for something and you won't be able to refuse. Kripa sighed and said, okay fine. She thought she was getting off really easy, little did she know Angad had a very important question to ask her sooner or later.

They both got in the car and started their journey to Poona.
