PART 38

Angad came over to the driver side and picked up his jaan in his strong arms. He looked into her eyes and carried her in.  The lights to the outhouse were all off. He put Kripa down and she held the door for support. She was still really weak and actually should be put in bed immediately. Angad turned on the lights and to his and Kripa's surprise the whole gang was standing there with their suitcases. Kripa was shocked. She looked at everyone and said, wow what is all this. Prithvi came forward and said, we all have decided that we going to stay with you for a couple of days. We are going to make sure that you rest, eat, and enjoy so that you can get better. Angad was delighted. He was just in aww at what wonderful friends they had. He walked over to Kripa and picked her up. He took her to the dining table as they all had made food. They all ate happily at the dining table. Well from a distance, Naina was watching everything. She soon found out about what was going on. She was so upset at how much attention Angad was giving Kripa. She knew in her heart that her son was in love with this middle class girl who she despised. She thought let things blow over until they come back from the promotional tour otherwise Nitin would cancel the show. She couldn't afford that!

The next morning, everyone got up and tidied up the place. Mishty and Harshini made breakfast. Manan and Prithvi made all the beds and cleaned up. Angad of course took care of his jaan. After breakfast, Angad said that he had a surprise for Kripa. He opened the door and enters Rahul. Kripa was all smiles. Rahul ran to her. But before he could jump on her, Prithvi caught him. He said, Rahul you have to be careful or your Kripa D will end up back in the hospital. Rahul was all confused but he didn't care. He was so happy to see his D. They all joked around and had a good time. Well this went on for about a week. Slowly everyone got back into their routines. Kripa too was getting much better. She was able to eat really good and walk around without support. She was trying to do her daily expertise. She was recovering really well.

Angad and Kripa both had collectively decided that it was time for them both to get back to work. For they would have to answer to everyone soon enough. Angad did ask Kripa to take it easy. He asked her that if anything was too much to stop and say no. She agreed.

They both went to the studio so that they could finish up some of their recordings. As they walked into the studio Naina aunty walked over to them and asked if she could speak to Kripa. Kripa nodded and walked over to Naina's office. Angad got called off by Mishty who wanted to discuss the upcoming week and all there small promotions that they had postponed due to Kripa's condition.

Naina closed the door behind Kripa and aksed her to sit down. Kripa sat down and you see Naina turn around with a very evil look. She looks at Kripa and says, interesting, I didn't know middle class girls were so conniving and manipulative. How long had you been planning to do this so called natak of your heart condition. Kripa was totally taken aback. But at the same time she know that this was eventually coming. She knew that Naina hated her. She really couldn't say or do anything about it. She just kept her mouth shut. She felt that if she said anything then it would backfire. Naina aunty said all that she wanted to and left Kripa with, I would like you to stay out of Angad's life. He has a lot riding for him and I don't want some middle class girl to make him lose his ambition. Kripa was totally hurt by this but just kept her mouth shut. To tell you the truth even Naina aunty was a bit taken a back. She wanted Kripa to say something, it would be a lot easier for her to use her words against her then her silence. Naina left the office fuming. Finally Kripa got up and walked over to the rehearsal hall.

She had the fakest smile on as she entered. She was really hurt but didn't know what to do about it. She wanted to talk to Angad about it but was scared to. They were both then called in to record one of their last songs. Kripa was able to sing it with so much passion and so much pain that Angad could feel that something was wrong. They ended and left.
