Chapter 22

PART- 22

A:Ma, please ghar ke members chod kar please kisi ko iss baat ka pata nahi chalna chahiye...Not even close friends or relatives...Kisi ke muh se galti se bhi nikal jaye, to pareshani ho jayegi humari...

Avantika sighed and nodded knowing what it was like since Angad became famous overnight after his first show...!

Angad got busy in his practice next 3-4 days, while Kripa settled in her new house...She was getting bored sitting home all day through though...

Atlast a day before the show Kripa and Angad left...Mishti and other team members were joining them directly, as Angad had booked their flights separately...

Mishti had argued, and at last Angad had just told that his parents forced him to take Kripa along and had booked their tickets...So, he was going separately...

Mishti was disappointed that Kripa would be coming too, but then thought it as an opportunity too, to show she did not fit in this world...!

They reached late night in Calcutta and settled in their hotel room...!

Kripa was busy applying cream, when Angad whistled grinning at her...Kripa looked up with raised eyebrows...

A: Care to dance? He asked giving her his hand and Kripa smiled...She slowly raised her hand and kept it in his and he pulled her in his arms...So, mere jane ke baad tumne dance classes liye...! Aur koi secret hai, jo mein nahi janta...?

Kripa chuckled...Dance classes to mein gaye do saal se ja rahi hun...Mein bas sahi mauke ka intajar kar rahi thi, tumhe surprise karne ka...Angad grinned...

A: That you did and I am glad...! He said slowly swaying...Kal ke party mein to humara sath dance karna possible nahi...but I promise, that I am gonna have you with me all 7 days to myself...he whispered... Kripa blushed and kept her head on his chest...They danced for a long time together, without any music...Just content to be with eachother...Talking about their life this past year and what all they did...

Next day, Kripa spent her time in the hotel, while Angad became busy in his reharsels...Kripa pampered her self for almost half of the day and at last went to the room after light lunch...It was around 6 in the evening Angad came in the room and saw her sleeping peacefully...He smiled and slowly went to her and kissed her cheeks and then went to take bath...Kripa was still asleep, when he came back and he shook his head...

A: Kripa, utho, chalo, hume nikalna hoga...! Kripa slowly opened her eyes and her gaze fell on Angad...Chalo maam...der ho rahi hai...! Aur kitna so-ogi...He said chuckling and getting ready...

K: Tumhari galti hai...raat ko sone nahi dete aur...she said sleepily and then suddenly bit her lips... Angad stopped what he was doing and looked at her...Kripa slowly got up and smiled shyly, and looked down...Then she looked at Angad slowly, who was looking handsome in his outfit...

A: So, kya keh rahi thi tum? He asked grinning...Smiling in his cheeks and looking at her...Kripa bit her lips and shook her head, trying hard, not to laugh...Really...Kripa suddenly started laughing and so did Angad...He shook his head and started setting his hairs and then looked at the leather jacket, he wore...Kripa kept looking at him, as he was looking stunning in his outfits...Absolutely handsome...Straight from the movies...She just couldn't take her eyes off him...Aab aisi hi dekhti rahogi, to mujhe show cancel karna hoga...! He said grinning and going near her...Kripa looked at him, as he came near...She knew that he wouldn't mess with his clothes at this last moment and waited to see what he was up to...Kya dekh rahi ho?

K: Apne handsome husband ko...She said boldly, caressing his leather jacket with a smile...

A: Kya irada hai...? He asked mischiviously...

K: Mera irrade aur mera faisla wahi hoga, jo tumhara hoga...! So, tum decide kar lo...

A: Hmmm...He said looking in her eyes...Irrada ye ki ye show khatma karke jald se jald wapas ana hai yahan, taki tumhare time pass ka haal dhund sakun...He said grinning...

Kripa frowned at him immediately and pushed him away...

K: Jao jakar show ki tayari karo...Meri chinta karna chod do...she said going towards the bathroom...

A: Not possible maam...Mom dad ne humesha ke liye ye duty de di hai mujhe...Aab chinta karna chod dunga to woh mujhe chod denge...! So, sorry, you are trapped...he said winking and going to the dresser...Kripa smiled and went inside and quickly got ready...She wore a beautiful long black dress, which they had recently purchased and was out with the matching shoes and purse, looking absolutely georgeous...Angad whistled looking at her and she blushed...He slowly walked towards her and she took a step back, looking in his eyes...

K: Angad, chalo na, der ho rahi hai...! She said blushing...

Angad raised his eyebrows, but kept coming to her...

K: Angad...! But soon Kripa was at the end of the wall, and Angad came and trapped her, keeping both his hands on either side of Kripa, on the wall...!

A: Kya keh rahi thi tum? He asked grinning...

K: Mein woh...mein...Angad woh...

A: Mein woh...Angad...Aab "woh" kaun hai humare bich...Ya tum...

K: Angad...tumhara dimag kharab ho gaya hai...last week se bas bachon ka khayal aa raha hai...!

Angad grinned...Mein to bas ye soch raha tha, ki do choti dalkar, humare ghar mein pehli baar jo ladki ayi, woh kisi aur ki choti bandhte hue kaisi lagegi...! Any way...I knew you are going to distract me...Bachein to tab honge na jab hum...He said grinning, and before Kripa could say anything, captured her lips with his...After a long time Angad sighed and slowly pulled apart looking at Kripa, whose eyes were still closed...He slowly tucked her hairs behind her ear and looked at her beautiful face...

A: Hey...aab ankhein khologi, ki aise hi khadi rahogi yahan...he whispered...See I told you...! You distract me so much, that now I don't even feel like going and doing this show...!

K: So, what do you wish? She whispered...smiling a little, her eyes still closed...

A: Bata dun? He asked with mischief smiling a little and caressing her cheeks, lips and chin...Kripa slowly nodded...Her heart beating loudly...I wish, we were in bed together, in eachothers arms...He whispered...I wish...Kripa chuckled opening her eyes and keeping her hands on his mouth...Blushing a little...Angad looked at her with mischivious grin...Kripa bit her lips a little and hugged him, inhaling his perfume...!

K: Chalo aab...She said pulling him out with a chuckle...

Angad smiled and went with her, but pulled her near once again and hugged her...Wish me luck...He whispered in her ear and she smiled and kissed his cheek...

They reached the stadium soon, where Angad's show was sponsored...They looked at eachother and immediately distanced them self as per their plan with knowing looks...Angad went forward, indicating her to follow him...He reached his dressing room below the main stage and found Mishti frowning...

A: Hey Mishti...saab taiyari ho gayi...

M: Kahan the Angad, kitni der se raah dekh rahi thi...She said getting up immediately...She then spotted Kripa behind him and immediately straightened...Hey Kripa...Kripa smiled slowly and nodded...

A: Mishti ye saab chodo aur jaldi se songs ke list aur music notes de do mujhe aur dekho ki saab taiyar hue ki nahi...Aur Shabeer ko bhej dena jara...Mishti slowly nodded and went out, looking at Kripa up and down once with a little anger...!

Kripa sighed as soon as she went out and Angad looked up from his notes with eyebrows up...Kripa just rolled her eyes and shook her head and Angad smiled at her...!

She went to him and looked at the notes as Angad was looking over...!

K: Angad, ye gane saab tumne likhe hain...

A: Yes maam, aur inke dhun bhi...My latest piece, jo aaj mein gane jar aha hun...I hope every one likes it...He said sighing...

K: They will...She said with confidence and Angad smiled at her...He saw Mishti coming from behind and suddenly straightened, looking at Kripa...

A: Kripa, mujhe disturb kyun kar rahi ho...Mein ne kaha na, ki mein iske bare mein kuch baat nahi karna chahta...Jao aur jakar stage ke paas chair hai, wahan baith jao...Mujhe kaam karne do...Show shuru hone mein bas ghanta baki hai...! He said angrily and Kripa looked at him a little taken a back...Suddenly she could see Mishti at the cornor of her eye and she looked at Angad, who was staring back at her...She understood and blinked at him...

K: Sorry...mein to bas...Koi baat nahi, ...Hum badmein baat karlenge...She said turning around and suddenly stopping looking at Mishti, whose eyes showed her happiness...She looked down and suddenly left the room, shaking her head at Mishti's behavior...! She went near the stage, and sat there looking at the people working...

S: Hey Kripa...Shabeer came with a smile and Kripa got up smiling...

K: Kaise ho Shabeer bhaiya...?

S: Mein to thik hun, tum yahan kya kar rahi ho? Woh bhi akeli...?

K: Bas kuch nahi...aise hi...

S: Chalo baad mein baat karta hun...Sorry, abhi baat karne ka time nahi hai mere paas...Mujhe last minute preparations karni hai...Bahot busy hun filhal...See ya...

K: Koi baat nahi, aap jaiye...Bye...she said sighing and sitting...She looked out stunned at the crowd...There were like around 1000 people in the stadium...Shouting for Angad as the time passed by...At last after 20 minutes or so, she saw Angad and his crew members coming towards her...Angad looked at her and she smiled at him...He really looked wonderful...How she wished, they were alone and Angad frowned looking at her, knowing where her thoughts were going...He gave her a wicked look and then shook hands with his crew members and gave a thumbs up sign to Shabeer, who was responsible for the band...! Angad pulled up his guitar and kissed it, looking at Kripa with a mischivious grin...Kripa bit her lips and looked down as he took his position in the middle of the stage, with confidence...Slowly, his guitar started playing and people from the other side of the curtain, started shouting his names eagerly and then the curtains opened and the people went wild...!

Angad talked to the people for few minutes and then started the show with his previous songs and the show started with the bang...Next 2 hours, Kripa just sat there in awe, enjoying the performance to the fullest, not believing that he was the same Angad, who was her husband, a wonderful caring son and a lover, who loved her so much...He was like some different person on the stage...! His life was totally different here...He looked wonderful with his guitar dancing...People were shouting, jumping, screaming and singing with him...It was just rocking show and Kripa was totally a gonner...Some where, when he was dancing with his co-star, she wished she was in her place and in his arms...She sighed shaking her head with a smile...!

Misti was busy seeing that the people went in time on the stage, and be ready in time...Whatever may be, Kripa realized that she was good at her work...! Thankfully, she never came near her and Kripa thanked God for that...

At last, the show was over and Angad waved at them all and walked out of the stage, totally tired...His face was covered with sweat and he sighed as soon as the curtains closed...! Kripa looked at him with awe and he raised his eyebrow...Kripa knew what he was asking and she indicated with her fingers, that it was suberb...! Angad grinned, and indicated her to come with him...!

The co-stars congradulated Angad and praised him for wonderful performance and he thanked them all and appreciated their talent as well...Everyone went to their rooms, leaving Angad and Kripa alone...Mishti was waiting at the back, talking to all the perfomers with a smile and then she saw Angad and Kripa coming and she went to Angad with a grin and hugged him, congradulating him for the superb performance...

M: You were rocking Angad...People were going wild...! She said with exclamation...totally forgetting about Kripa being there...! Kripa's anger towards Mishti was growning and she looked at her with Jelousy...Mishti looked at her with a wicked smile, kissing Angad on his cheeks...Jao, tum change kar lo, phir party mein bhi jana hai na...Angad nodded sighing and then looked at kripa with a frown...

A: Kripa, chalo andar, mujhe tumse abhi baat karni hai...He said looking at her angrily...Mishti please, koi aye to kehna mein busy hun...

M: Angad, par aab to party mein jana hai...

A: Mishti, I need to handle this issue...! Please...vaise hi mein thak gaya hun, aur phir...He shook his head...Angad looked at Kripa, aab chalogi, ya yahin khada rehna hai...He asked with mischievious anger, which only Kripa could see...Kripa looked down, trying to suppress her anger and went in without a word...He sighed shaking his head and looking at Mishti...I don't know what is going on in her head...! He said slowly and walked in closing the door behind him, almost on Mishti's face, before turning around and grinning at Kripa, who started giggling...Shh...kya kar rahi ho...mera sara plan chaupat kar rahi ho...! He said running to her and grabbing her in his arms...Kripa...! He said a little angrily...So, Mishti could hear his voice and think he is shouting...Aab aur thodi der ye chalu rakha na, to mujh se bura aur koi nahi hoga...! He said with mischief, looking at he r laughing face...! Kripa bit her lips and then hugged him chuckling slowly...
K: Angad tumne dance ke sath drama karne ka bhi course liya tha kya...? Angad grinned...

A: Hey they go together...! Any way, don't waste time...I am dying to have you in my arms...he said suddenly grabbing her close and kissing her senseless...! So, Mrs. Angad Khanna, kaisa laga mera show...?

K: Suberb, amazing, wonderful...rocking...

Angad chuckled kissing her cheeks...That meant a whole lot to me, more than all the praises I got over this year...He said genuinely with a wink and Kripa blushed and looked down...

A: Aab chalo...Party mein jana hai na...! And you know what to do right?

K: Don't worry Angad, akhir tumhari biwi hun...Tum jaisi talented na sahi, but I can be the best, if times like these come...!Angad grinned kissing her nose...

A: That is the reason I love you so much...Chalo...!

K: Ek min...sath jayenge to usse shak hoga...Tum jao...waise bhi mujhe bathroom use karna hai...

A: Thik hai...make it quick...Raat ka intajar rahega...!

Kripa smiled and went to the bathroom, while Angad looked at himself in the mirror, combed his hairs and wiped the lipstick marks and then went out trying to look a little angry...As he knew, Mishti was waiting outside...

M: Angad, kya hua...?

A: Kuch nahi Mishti...Mein age ja raha hun...tum Kripa ko lekar aa jana party mein please...he said leaving her without another word...Mishti looked at Angad's back with a sigh and then went to the room, where Kripa was out and wiping her face...From behind it looked like she was crying and wiping her eyes...

M: Kya hua Kripa...Lagta hai tum donon ke bich mein kuch jhagda ho gaya...Kripa straightened a little startled by her sudden voice, then relaxed...She did not speak and slowly took her comb and started brushing her hairs and then applied a little make up...She applied light lipstick and deliberately touched the side of the napkin to her eye, to make it appear as if those were tears...She walked out without a word, when Mishti followed...Kaha tha na mein ne Kripa...! You and he are not meant to be together...He can never be happy with you...! And neither can you...! Behtar yahi hoga, ki tum ye baat aab accept karna chalu kar do...No matter what you do, you will never match him in any way...! You will still be the same person you always were...And I know Angad more than you...We have been together before and since last one year, I have been with him constantly during his struggle...And I helped him to settle in his career...! So, I hope you will understand soon and get out of his life...She said smiling...Aur jahan tak uske mata pita ka sawal hai, unhone tumhe pala, issiliye shayad attached hai...aur ye bhi ho sakta hai ki unhe tum pe taras aa gaya ho...Kripa's tightened her hand in a fist, angrily, but kept quite...Waise Angad ke honor mein party hai, jo mujhe pata hai, ki tum already janti ho...So, Angad ne mujhe tumhe wahan lane ke liye kaha hai,...So, chale...? Kripa looked at Mishti angrily, for being so shrewd and for trying to get what she wanted, even when she knew that she and Angad were married...!

She followed her silently any way, not wanting her to be suspicious...

They sat in the car and got down at the huge hotel silently...Kripa got down and looked at Angad, who was busy signing autographs and smiled at him, but sobered before Mishti could see...

She walked to the doors, where Mishti was already standing and looking at Angad...Kripa looked at her and felt sad for her for the first time...It wasn't her fault that she loved Angad...and her love was not returned...She wished Mishti would understand and back off, without being hurt...!

Angad came to them soon and they walked in without another word...

There were lot of people present and Angad got busy talking to everyone...Kripa sighed and stayed back, feeling bored...She did not know anyone here and further, her and Angad's plan would go in drain, if Mishti got suspicious...! They just wanted to make her realize that no matter what, they were together for ever and she couldn't break them...

S: Hey Kripa...Lagta hai aaj Angad ki dhulai karni padegi...Dubara akela chod diya...He asked laughing...Kripa smiled...

K: Mein yahan waise bhi kisi ko nahi janti...Any way, congrats...It was a superb performance...

S: Iska shrey to tumhare pati ko jata hai...He said laughing...Kripa smiled...

K: Woh to thik hai, par usme tumhara bhi to hath hai...! Angad tumhari bahot tareef karta hai...Shabeer laughed...

S: Oh yeah...? Thank God for that...Nahi to pehle bahot criticize karta tha...! Baat baat par ghussa hota tha...! He said grinning...Kripa chuckled...

A: Hey Shabeer...

S: Kya yaar, Dekhna, agar aise hi har baar, apni khubsurat biwi ko akele chod doge na, to ek din koi churakar le jayega...! Angad chuckled...

A: Himat to kare...! Phir dekh lena...!

S: Wah, kya baat hai...! Any way, wonderful show and beautiful performance...! Congrats for another successful show...

A: Thanks Shabeer, but this success is not mine alone...! You all are the part of it...!

S: Thanks bhai...!

A: So, bhabhiji kaisi hai...?

S: Good...! He said grinning...Kripa, next year ID mein inke ghar le jaunga, Shabeer ki patni ne itna acha kheer kurma banaya ki hum hanth chantate reh gaye...He said grinning...Kripa smiled...

K: Shabeer bhaiya, bhabhi ko keh dijiye, ki agle ID mein humein bulana nahi bhule...she said chuckling...

S: Sure Kripa...! Chalo, jao tum donon...dance floor bhar gaya hai...! Enjoy yourself...

Kripa Angad looked at eachother and then Angad sighed...

A: Na baba...I don't have much patience...Aur waise bhi mujhe thode logon se milna hai abhi...Kripa tum baitho mein abhi ata hun...

S:Hey you wouldn't mind, if I take her with me on the dance floor, will you? Angad grinned...

A: No problem dost...If Kripa is ok...he said smiling at Kripa and nodding at her, to go as he trusted Shabeer whole heartedly...

S: Thanks yaar...Shall we Kripa...?

A: Ek minute Shabeer, I need your help...!

S: Sure...bol...Shabeer said and Angad went near him and slowly whispered something in his ear...Shabeer frowned...Kisliye?

A: Please, abhi kuch nahi bata sakta...But I promise, I will tell you about it soon...! Abhi bas itna hi karna...

S: Thik hai...Kripa?

Angad nodded at him and then looked around to see if Mishti was near by and when he was sure she wasn't. he slowly went near and told her his plan and Kripa nodded...!

Shabeer looked at both of them in confusion and Angad indicated him to go...

Kripa smiled and nodded and went with him...Mishti looked at Kripa and Shabeer dancing after a while and grinned, when she saw Angad standing talking to someone...

M: Angad, chalo na...let's dance...

A: Nahi Mishti...Mein thak gaya hun...

M: Common Angad...Just 2-3 dances...that's all...! Dekho Kripa bhi wahan dance kar rahi hai, tumhare dost ke sath...! Angad looked up at Kripa and Shabeer, with a frown and then tried to show as if he was angry...

A: Chalo...he said going with her on the dance floor and started dancing with Mishti...Kripa looked back and Angad looked at her...Kripa and Angad both looked at eachother angrily, and created some distances and tried to avoid eachothers gaze...

S: Kripa, jaan sakta hun ki kya chal raha hai yahan? He whispered slowly...

K: Bhaiya, some one is trying to make a rift between me and Angad...Koi hume alag karne ki koshish kar raha hai...We are just trying to find out who it is, by trying to show them that they are going in the right direction and are successful in their mission...Shabeer frowned...Aapko iske bare mein Angad bata denge badmein...I don't want to say anything before so many people...Shabeer sighed and nodded...

Back to Angad and Mishti, Mishti was in seventh moon, as she swayed with Angad...

M: Angad, kya hua, tum itne pareshan ho rahe ho? Kripa ne phir se kuch kiya kya?

A: Angad sighed...Uski baat jane do Mishti...Ek to pure ek saal baat nahi kiya aur aab khud ka hak jata rahi hai ghar par...Apni maan mani...Aur aab keh rahi hai ki job karegi...She doesn't even think about the risks involved...Itni padhi likhi hai, phir bhi itna samajh mein nahi ata kya usse...!

M: Calm down Angad...! Tumhe kya farak padta hai...Jane do usse job par...!

A: What do you mean Mishti...Haan humare bich tanav hai, par phir bhi meri patni hai woh...Iss tarah job karna bahar...Mere reputation ka to dhyan dena chahiye na usse...! Kya sochenge log, jab dekhenge ki who Job kar rahi hai...Aur phir usse mere dusare Kripa lead ke sath kaam karna bhi acha nahi lagta...She suspects me ...For god's sake, it is not as if I am cheating on her...But she doesn't trust me at all...! I feel so frustrated and angry...He said frowning...Anyway forget it...Let's enjoy...

Mishti looked down and Angad could see small smiley lines on her cheeks and he patted himself for wonderful performance...He did not want to spend a moment with her more, but somehow was bound to it...!

When he saw Shabeer whispering something, he got his chance and angrily went to Kripa and pulled her apart from Shabeer and blinked at Shabeer, thanking him and pulled Kripa with him in the washroom...Shabeer just looked at them both with a frown, thinking who must be the person who were trying to break them apart...! One of Angad's fans...friends, relatives...?

They both saw Mishti following them and blinked at eachother and suddenly Angad started getting angry...

A: Kripa, apni ijjat ki nahi, kum se kum meri ijjat ke bare mein to soch liya hota...Aise mere party mein kisi aur ke sath, uski bahon mein...!

K: Angad tum bhi to Mishti ke sath dance kar rahe the...

A: Meri baat alag hai...Par tumhari photo kal ki akbar mein aa gayi to apne khandan ki izzat ke dhajiya udd jayenge...

K: Isse double standard kehte hain Angad...Tum bhi to roj naye naye ladkiyon ke sath dance karte ho...! Meine tumse kaha ki mujhe tumhara unke sath jana acha nahi lagta, tab to tumne kuch nahi kiya...Par aaj pehli baar mein ne kisi ke sath dance kar liya, aur tum itna ghussa ho rahe ho...? I just can't take it...Mere saar mein dard hai, mein nikal rahi hun...Mujhe aur tumhare tanne nahi sunane hain yahan saab ke bich...She said looking at Mishti from the cornor of her eye...She looked at Angad and he blinked asking her to go and she slowly walked off from there...

Angad hit his hand on the near by column angrily and slowly turned around towards the party hall...

M: Angad...

Angad looked at her shocked, then shook his head and headed in...Mishti tried to talk, but he said that he will be back soon and went to the rest room...

He quickly called Kripa...

A: Hi dear...superb! Suno...Car lekar jana...Aur room par jate hi phone karna...Mein thodi der mein ata hun...!

K: Thik hai...she said smiling and went to their car and went off...

Back to Angad he came out and spent sometime with everyone and then finally asked Mishti to wrap up, as he was tired and leaving...

M: Angad, Kripa kahan chali gayi...?

A: Let her go Mishti...! Tumhe uski itni fikr kyun...Any way...Mein jar aha hun...!

M: Ruko, mein bhi tumhare sath hi ati hun...Hotel ja rahe ho na...

A: Nahi...I don't want to see her face just yet...Mein kahin aur ja raha hun...Tum jao room par...!

M : Ruko Angad, akele kahan ja rahe ho...chalo mere room par aa jao...

A: Pagal ho gayi ho Mishti...Koi dekh lega, to kal ke paper mein headline ho jayega...! Aur sirf meri hi nahi tumhari bhi badnami hogi...

M: Mujhe koi farak nahi padta Angad...

A: Magar mujhe padta hai Mishti, afterall you are my friend, and I can't hear someone saying bad about you...

Mishti stared at him with awe...Angad itna care karte ho meri...? She asked with wonder...Angad just sighed, not saying a word...

M: Koi baat nahi...chalo mein bhi chalti hun tumhare sath...kahin bahar jate hain...She said...

A: Mein iss waqt akele rehna chahta hun Mishti...He said shaking his head angrily, but then sighed...I am sorry, mein apna ghussa tum par uttar raha hun...Tum to mere liye bas concerned ho aur mein...I am sorry...

M: Koi baat nahi hai Angad...

A: Thanks Mishti, for always being there for me...! But today I want to be alone...if you don't mind...Mishti slowly nodded and Angad turned and left grinning a little...Mishti smiled with her first success...Koi baat nahi Angad...aaj nahi na sahi...par jald hi mere sath honge tum...And I promise, I will try to make you happy always...! Mishti thought happily...

Angad on the other side, wore his goggles and hat and put on the beard, he wore to avoid public and went out...He caught a taxi and soon reached their room and went in closing the door with a sigh...He looked at the bed and found Kripa sleeping peacefully and made faces...Here he was thinking of spending a night with her and there she was sleeping peacefully...! But then he grinned and quickly changed and walked towards bed and slowly slept besides Kripa with a sigh, gathering her in his arms...Kripa smiled in darkness, but kept her arm as he directed and settled in his arms...She could feel his arms slowly caressing her waist as well as her arms...His lips touched her forehead, eyes, ears and neck...She let him, until she couldn't take it anymore and stopped him, hugging him tightly...

A: Waise drama acha kar leti ho...He whispered and Kripa chuckled bitting his shoulder lightly...Ouch...he shouted slowly...Aab dekho, tumhari kya halat banata hun...He said suddenly turning her around and fixing her on the bed...! Kripa's breathe caught looking at him...She looked in his eyes and then at his strong muscled body and slowly caressed it with her fingers, until Angad couldn't take it anymore and held her hand tightly...She tried to wriggle, but he did not let go...He kissed her until she forgot what she was doing and slowly took her in his arms making her his...! They lay together after a long time and then Angad looked at Kripa and kissed her forehead...

A: Kripa, tum ne mujhe pehle kyun nahi bataya ki US mein Mishti tumhe tumhare room par milne ayi thi...!

Kripa looked at him surprised...

A: Kanan ne bataya...

Kripa sighed...Mujhe laga ki bas uska ghussa usse mere paas le aya...Mein janti thi ki usse bhi takleef hui hogi Angad, aur socha ki dheere dheere woh accept kar legi...par...She sighed sadly...

A: Yahan ane ke baad kuch kaha ussane...?

Kripa slowly looked at him and sighed nodding...She told him all what Mishti said and Angad frowned looking at her...

A: Usse wahin jawab kyun nahi de diya...?

K: Angad jawab dekar kuch hasil to nahi hota na...Jo tumne plan banaya wahi thik hai...Usse ye ehsaas dilana jaroori hai, ki hum donon ko woh kabhi alag nahi kar sakti, nahi to woh humesha aise hi kuch na kuch kehti rahegi...! Agar usse ye baat sidhe tareeke se nahi samjh mein aya to issi raste se samajhana hoga...I just hope ki woh atleast tab ye baat samjhkar, apne jeevan ko nayi raah le jaye aur acha jeevan sathi dhund le...I know it must be difficult to see the person you love with some one else...Par agar tum bhi uske liye wahi feelings rakhte to baat alag thi...!

Angad sighed and hugged her...smiling at her innocence...Even though Mishti was trying to pull the carpet from Kripa's very own feet, she still thought about her...!

A: Ek kaam karo...Mishti ko phone karke ye pucho ki mein kahan hun...Kripa frowned...

K: Abhi?

A: Hmmm...Lo...he said giving her phone...Kripa looked at him confused and he indicated her to do as asked and she sighed and slowly dialed Mishti's number...

Mishti, who was busy watching a romantic movie, frowned looking at the number and then said hello...

K: Mishti mein Kripa bol rahi hun...

M: Bolo Kripa...? Itni raat ko...?

K: Woh, Party ho gayi kya? Angad se baat karni thi, par uska number nahi lag raha hai...!

Mishti did not say anything for 5 seconds and Kripa frowned looking at Angad...He kept a finger on his lips, indicating her to wait...

Kripa nodded and then heard Mishti's voice...

M: Woh mere sath hai Kripa...! She said with a wicked grin...Kripa looked at Angad with wide eyes at her lies and then rolled her eyes and Angad smiled...He indicated her to talk and see what other lies she could say...!

K: Tum jhoot keh rahi ho Mishti...! Angad raat ko iss waqt tumhare sath...She asked slowly...

Mishti chuckled...Kripa bahot bholi ho tum...! Any way, jane do...Angad se baat karni hai to uska number try karke dekho, kyun ki tum janti ho, mein Angad ko to tum se baat karne nahi dungi...! She said clicking off the phone and Kripa looked at Angad wide eyed...

K: God, Angad, she is just plain mad...! Itna jhoot?

Angad sighed...I too can't believe...But that is the reality Kripa, so stop thinking about her...She is not worth it...Insaan kisi se pyar karta hai, to usse khush dekhna chahta hai, aise kisi ka ghar barbad karne ki nahi sochta...She is just pure cunning women, as you your self heard her...! Yahi kehna chahta tha tumhe...So, my guess was right...Woh photos bhejne ka idea usika hoga...! Aur koi bhi shamil hai uske sath, kyun ki tum aur Prithvi US mein the, to woh photos kisine wahan se bheje hai, aur Mishti to US do saal se nahi gayi...!

Kripa sighed...Keeping her head on his shoulder...A tear escaped her eye and Angad frowned and lifted her head with concern...

A: Hey kya hua Kripa...

K: Angad, agar tumhe mujh par yakeen na hota to? Dusaron ke behkave mein aakar aaj hum ek dusare se alag ho jate...Mujhe abhi bhi bahot daar lag raha hai Angad...Mein tumhare bina nahi reh sakti...! Apna parivar ek baar kho chuki hun, dubara khona nahi chahti...She said hugging him and closing her eyes tightly, as tears came from her eyes...Angad hugged her tightly closing his eyes cursing Mishti in his mind...He quickly sat up and pulled Kripa on his lap and hugged her, kissing her forehead and eyes slowly...He could feel her tremble and he hugged her to him, comforting her and caressing her, until she at last finally stopped sobbing...! Angad slowly wiped her tears and smiled at her gently...

A: Kripa, I promise, koi hume alag nahi kar sakta...! I will always be there for you jaan...! Mein sirf aur sirf tumse pyar karta hun...! I will never allow anyone come in between us...! He said caressing her hairs...Mujh par yakeen hai na tumhe...He asked kissing her forehead and Kripa nodded, kissing his chest, hugging him...Mein bhi tumhare bina kahan reh sakta hun...Ye ek saal ke ek ek din itne bhari gaye ki bas...Agar mere career ki shuruwat nahi hoti, aur itne kaam nahi hote, to mein to pagal hi ho gaya hota...I love you Kripa...Now and forever...tumhari jagah meri jindagi mein kabhi koi nahi le sakta...! I promise...! Haan last year thik se baat nahi kiya mein ne tumhare sath, par woh dusaron ke karan nahi tha Kripa...Dusare humare bich tab aa sakte hain, jab hume ek dusare par vishwas nahi ho...! Trust and Respect are base of any relationship...Humara rishta shayad pyar se shuru na hua ho, par humne humare rishta mama papa ke kehne se hi sahi, magar age chalkar sweekar bhi to kiya na...Koi jabardasti to nahi thi...! Phir pyar hua aur ek dusare par vishwas...! No one can harm us, unless we let them...Samjhi...Kripa slowly nodded...Angad smiled at her and kissed her forehead...Pagal ho tum ek dum...janti ho...? Kripa smiled shyly and looked down...But I love you any way...he whispered chuckling and Kripa chuckled hugging him...

K: I love you too...Promise mujhe akele chod kar kabhi nahi jaoge na...?

A: Jaunga...! Kripa looked at him frowning...He chuckled and said...kabhi kabhi...tours par...aab humsesha to tumhe le nahi ja sakta na...He said laughing and Kripa hit him angrily for making fun of her...! Sorry...sorry baba...he said kissing her nose hard...Kripa chuckled and hugged him and they soon fell asleep in eachothers arms...

Next day Kripa had flight early morning, so she quickly got ready, before Angad got up and packed her bag...!
