Part - 6

 

Then too it's only when Angad comes to meet Dad at the OH he confronts Kripa, and they never get the chance to be with one another alone...

And dadi's version of Angad stories slowly change the image that Kripa cerated in her mind for Angad and she starts to think that he is not that bad...may be Dadi knows him better...

She has also seen him around more now and he seems to a little maughty but definitely not bad as Kripa figured out, so far so good...

The next album is on the making with Anuji as well and this time too it's going to be a romantic as the first one "Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai" is a hit...so U have to follow the same route to succeed, that's Bollywood mantra...

Angad is bored as he is not liking it, it doesn't even have a girlfriend yet in India , he had a lot of girls in his life before he came here, on and off, but never serious, he was too young for any committed relationship...

And love is yet to happen for him, it's all been only crushes, that girls  had on him, fans, friends, co-singers...girls would do anything to be his co-singer for Angad usually dates his co-singers, it's like a reward for being his co-singer and they even get to have a one night stand if Angad is really impressed and if their stars are good...

That's the UK story, U know you get to meet, greet and treat a lot of girls to find the right one...it's what Angad grew up, dating is like a part of a teenager, and if you don't have a partner then people brand you gay, and for that reason at least Angad has to have a girlfriend all the time...don't know why people think like that about him...and even some boys were lattu over him...

Boy that was scary and even funny, how the boys look at him, Angad keeps away from them and he usually has this protective wall of girls around him...

Anu ji insists that Angad needs a partner, and they have to find one as soon as possible...

That day at the OH...dadi is ready with her ever so yummy chocolate cake...

Kripa is learning the art of baking from dadi today...it's a Sunday and so she is at home bored...Angad has been asking for his chocolate cake and Dadi decided to do it for him...

And Kripa is like, I'm here to help dadi...dadi is such a wonderful person, she patiently shows Kripa how to bake a perfect cake...

Dadi and pothi have a lot of fun and it's almost done...

The bell rings and Dadi asks Kripa to get it...Kripa opens the door and it's Angad...

He is scared for a second for Kripa looked really scary with her Halloween flour make-up...she was like covered with white flour all over including her face...and chocolate ganache around her mouth...

Angad: jesus save me

Kripa is angry...what's so scary about me?

He then recognizes her and bursts out laughing...

Kripa: what?

Angad then holds her by her shoulder and takes her to the mirror, she looked so funny...

Kripa tries to wipe off the flour but her hands are still dirty and it's making it worse...

Angad tries to lend his hands but she says no thanks...I'm not the girl for your dirty plays...

Angad feels insulted...come on girl, don't give me that look again...

Angad then shrugs his shoulders and walks into the kitchen...he could smell the cake...

Angad: hmm dadi, my darling, my sweetheart, where's my cake?

Angad: aagaya mera pyara potha

Angad: Dadi, you never told me you got a new pet

Dadi: pet? What pet?

Angad: an unsual pet, OMG, I was scared to death when I saw

Dadi: Angad, ye tum kya bol rahe ho?

Angad: you know Dadi, you pet, the ghost, well you need not worry about securities now, no one will dare enter OH now

Kripa stands there staring him while Angad is talking with Dadi making fun of her...

Angad immediately runs and hides behind Dadi...: dadi, save me

Dadi turns and finds Kripa looking at him angrily...

Dadi couldn't control her laughter and she asks Kripa to change and come...

After Kripa leaves Angad asks Dadi to give him the cake, dadi asks him to wait for Kripa to come...

Angad loose his patience as it's been more than 15 minutes now and he is very hungry...

Angad: Dadi yaar, how long should I keep staring the cake, please dadi, let me have my cake, let her have it when she comes

Angad tries to take it while Dadi stops him...dadi I'm starving

Dadi: go and call Kripa

He goes upstairs to call Kripa...Kripa has just come out of the shower and is trying to zip her Kurti which is struck...

Angad keeps looking at her and Kripa thinks that it's Dadi...: dadi, ye zip atak gaya, dekhiye na

Angad just goes and fixes it for her...Kripa then realizes that it's not dadi...she turns and looks at Angad...: tum? How dare you?

She raises her hand to slap while he stops her...

Angad: what's wrong with you? You are really evil, you monster

Kripa: tumne mujhe monster kaha? You idiot, stupid, fool, you are a devil, demon

Dadi comes hearing the noise...

Dadi: uff tum log hamesha aaise kyun ladthe rehthe ho?

They stop seeing Dadi...

Then Dadi advices them to learn to be little civilized and she gives them the cake...

Angad: wow, dadi, aaj ka cake double yummy hai

Dadi: should be, this one is special, made by someone special,this is Kripa's first cake

Angad immediately changes his comment...

Angad: I knew dadi, that's why it's bitter, just like her

Kripa: it's OK to be bitter and good, not like someone faking to be sweet but really not so sweet, full of poison, haina Dadi?

Dadi: ab tum donno bas bhi karo

Angad: ask her to shut her mouth Dadi

Kripa: you shut up first

Dadi: Angad, what's this? she's our guest

Angad: guest my foot, I'm leaving Dadi, jab se ye aayi hai mein dadi se chain se beitkke baat bhi nahi kar saktha

Angad leaves...

He then comes back to see dadi that evening...

Kripa only opens the door but she doesn't want to disturb him, she leaves them alone...

Dadi: toh Angad, ab toh tummara gussa teek ho gaya na?

Angad: what gussa dadi?

Dadi: subhe toh itne gusse mein the?

Angad: ohh dadi, mein toh usse kab ka bhool gaya

Dadi: chalo teek hai, I know my Angad, Angad ka gussa kitna fast aatha usse hi tez chale jaatha

Dadi kisses his forehead and blesses him...jeethe raho mera bacha

Angad: patha ha dadi, there is a co-star singing with me this time, oh man, I'm lucky, haina?

Dadi: kaun hai woh?

Angad: patha nahi, they are yet to finalize on it, I'm so excited, I'm so bored coming here, and I miss London, and my girls

Dadi catches his ear...you naughty boy...don't ever dare...I tell you this is not UK

Angad: Dadi, ye aapka zamaana nahi, India has changed, look at the Mumbai girls, they look hotter in their western out fits

Dadi: don't judge them by their looks

Angad: that's true dadi, some people salwar pehenthe hai aur still they are not so good, you know

He turns around and looks for Kripa...he is disappointed to see her missing...

Dadi: kissko dhoond rahe ho? Kripa ko?

Dadi has an evil smile on her face...naughty dadi...

Angad: nahi dadi aapke nayi pet ko he he

Dadi: shut up Angad, agar Kripa sunthi toh tum log phir se jagda shuru ho jayega

Angad: she starts the fights dadi, I swear, I'm a good boy, you know me

Dadi: hmm and I know my Kripa too, she's a very nice girl, patha nahi tum donno ka kyun nahi banthi?

Angad: dadi, toh kya mein itna bhura hoon?

Dadi: tum toh duniya ka sabse achcha bacha hai

Angad: sweet dadi

Angad goes and hugs her...

Dadi: hare Kripa ko mein kaise bhool gayi?

 Angad: what?

Dadi: she can sing with you

Angad: no no dadi, she's not my type, usske saath toh mein kabhi kaam nahi kar saktha

Dadi: this would be such a good opportunity for her too

Angad: Dadi, not fair yaar, Kripa aur mein? I can't imagine

Angad starts laughing...

Dadi: Angad, this is wrong, you should be encouraging her, she is here to build a career just like you, you know the person who gave you the break? Just like that you should give the new comers chance

Angad: what dadi? I'm still a new comer myself

Dadi: but Angad, you are a rock star now

Angad: you know dadi, how much I worked for this, it's not that you become a star over night

Dadi: I know beta, kripa is also like you, very sincere and hard-working, I know she will make it big one day, just like you, she has got the fire in her

Angad: be careful dadi, kahin OH ko toh nahi jalathi apne andar ki aag se, you know dadi, she's a walking volcano, spits fire in her words

Dadi: Angad?

Angad: OK where's the volcano, let me escaoe before it erupts

Dadi: haan Kripa kahan hai?

Angad: OK Dadi, mein chaltha hoon

Dadi: nahi, dekho nahar barish shuru ho gayi hai, you can go later

Angad: dadi? I'm not a kid

Dadi: Angad, you have your recordings, and this is not good for your health, you will fall sick

Angad: dadi, you people treat me like a 3 yr old at times

Dadi: we love you beta, and you know you always catch a cold in rain, and you lose your voice too

Angad: OK OK, I'll wait, I'm getting bored, where's the entertainment network? I need some drama

He means kripa...

It has just started raining...maybe Kripa is in her room...

Dadi goes and finds her missing in her room...

Dadi: Kripa, Kripa,  Angad did you find her?

Angad also looked for her all over the house...

Dadi is worried...where would she go in this rain?

Angad: don't worry dadi, she'll be fine

But Angad is also equally worried...

Angad: I'll go check the terrace

Dadi: OK beta

Angad goes to the terrace and finds Kripa standing in the garden in the rain...

Angad runs down...what a fool she is?

What's she doing in the garden at this time that too in the rain?

Angad: Kripa, pagal ho gayi ho kya? come in, Dadi is worried about you

Kripa: I'm not coming in

Angad: Are you kidding me? ye kya bachpana hai?

Kripa: I'm serious

Angad: Kripa, zidd mat karo, chalo mere saath

Angad tries to catch hold of her but she moves away...

Angad gets angry now...:Kripa? Come on, come with me, now

Kripa: I won't, jab tak tum nahi jaathe mein andar nahi aoongi

She is doing this because he said that he's not able to even talk with his Dadi in peace with her around...

Angad: tum samajhthe kya apne aapko?

 Angad tries to catch her...he tries to take her in...but she remains unmoved...

Angad: tum aaise nahi manogi

He lifts her in his arms and carries her while she keeps hitting him and asking him to put her down...you know Kripa is too small and Angad is too strong...

Angad takes her in and lays her on the sofa...

Dadi: Kripa? What's this? ye kya haal banake rakha hai tumne?

Kripa keeps staring Angad...

Angad: you just stay there, right?

He almost warns her not to do this again...

Dadi brings a towel...: Kripa, dry your hair

Angad: waise meinjaane hi wala tha, bye dadi

Angad turns back to leave...

Dadi: Angad, I told you na? you can't go in the rain

Angad: nahi Dadi, mera yahan rehna kissi ko bahut hi pareshaan kartha, I'm sorry dadi, I can't stay here anymore

So saying he just walks out in the rain...

Dadi is fed up with their fights and she is upset with them...

Dadi: hare baghwan, ye ho kya raha hai? koi mere baat ko nahi suntha, ye ladhka toh bimar ho jaayega, aur sab karab ho jayega

Kripa thinks that it's her fault...

Kripa runs out to stop him...she goes and blocks his way...

Angad: now what do you want?

Kripa: woh Dadi bahut pareshaan hai

Angad: Dadi ko pareshaan hone do, lekhin tum toh kush hona? Ab hatjao mere rasthe se

Kripa: nahi

Angad: patha nahi tummara problem kay hai?

Kripa: please, andar aao, dekho kitna barish ho raha hai

Angad: itne dher toh tumme patha nahi chala?

Just then thunder strikes and our scared princess hugs our prince herself...

Angad feels the thunder striking his body now, and he is shocked by her sudden embrace...

Angad holds her and she feels his warmth and doesn't feel embarrassed to have hug him...his body language and his gentle touch and his comforting her not to be afraid , he is there for her, and then the ever so delicate release from her, so caring and yet maintaining that space that she always wanted...

This man is not what she thought to be, he is not a flirt, definitely not with her...

Angad: chalo, andar chalthe hai, it's too dangerous out here

Kripa is shivering and he gives her his jacket...

Angad then holds her hand and takes her to the OH...
