Chapter 27

PART - 27
After 2 weeks of full busy schedule, Angad came home one afternoon once again, to spend some time with Kripa...He had been so busy, that he reached home late nights and left early...Kripa never complained and was understanding, but he felt bad...But hopefully, now that he had hired the person for taking care of all these things, he would get free time...! He thought sighing...Mishti had been upset, when he told that she did not have to keep up with him regularly, just take care of things around the studio and follow up with the person hired, as he would be incharge of all the things now...! She had tried to talk him out of it, but he said that he was getting tired and not able to concentrated on his reharsels, which was true enough...! She had finally accepted and met the guy today and he had left them alone...! He rolled his eyes angrily...! She had a nerve...! After doing so much, she acted so cool, that no one could guess her real motives...! He went up and found their room empty and then went down to search for her...! He almost missed her while he passed the pool, but then stopped in his tracks looking at the figure swimming in the pool...He knew she knew to swim...But, he had never seen her before...He just stared at her, until she slowly sat up sighing...
He grinned and quickly ran up and changed and then went out...He frowned looking around, but found the pool empty, then he saw Kripa coming in wearing a bathrobe and rolled his eyes...!
A: Not fair...Angad said going near him, jerking Kripa out of her thoughts...She looked up scared and sighed looking at him...Mein tumhe company dene aaya hun aur tum ja rahi ho...Kripa rolled her eyes...
K: Mein thak gayi hun...Pure do ghante se pani mein hun...Aab bas...She said sighing...
A: Hey common Kripa...! He said whinning...!
K: Angad...
A: Acha, bas 10 minute...I promise...! He said making faces...Kripa sighed and shook her face and turned around...She went and took her bathrobe, unaware that Angad was watching her...But suddenly realized that this was the first time, he was seeing her in swimming costume...Though it was quite decent and covered her till her knee...She blushed a little, and slowly turned around looking at him...He was just staring at her and she bit her lips...
She left him there and jumped in the water, not able to take the heat and swam across the pool expertly...Angad just kept looking at her, until she stopped and looked around at him...
She chuckled as she saw him staring at her motionless...!
K: Aab aane wale ho, ya mein nikalun...! She said challenging him and he grinned and jumped behind her and swam...He was just besides her, when Kripa chuckled sprinkling water on him and started swimming...Angad caught with her and got hold of her in couple of minutes, bringing her close...Kripa stopped breathing, as her hands went on his chest to still her self...Angad...Koi dekh lega...chodo na...She whispered...Angad just kept staring at her and then slowly kissed her cheeks and grinned...He suddenly left her and started swimming, knowing she was right...He did not want to embarrass her in front of their family...
They played around for few minutes, until Kripa got up saying she was tired...Angad let her go and swam for next 15 minutes, as Kripa took shower and changed...She was out in 20 minutes, fully dressed and started wiping her hairs looking at Angad, who was busy swimming...Atlast after 10 more minutes he slowly walked out towards her and throwed a towel at her and sat in front...Kripa smiled and slowly wiped his head, blushing a little...
A: Vow, yahan ane ke baad pehli baar swimming kiya hai mein ne...Bahot relaxing tha...! He said grinning...Kripa looked down surprised...
K: Sach?
A: Hmmm...time hi nahi milta tha...aur baki saab bhi busy the...! He said shrugging...Kripa shook her head and started wiping his head and then gave him the towel...She was about to go, when Angad stopped her...Hey, kahan ja rahi ho...?
K: Andar...Tum change karke aa jao...coffee banati hun...She said smiling...Angad nodded and got up, but still had her hands in his...He grinned and kissed her hands and left with a wink, making Kripa blush...She chuckled and went in to make coffee...Avantika, was already in the dinning having her tea...She had gone to ask Kripa if she wanted to have tea, but found Angad and her swimming and left to give them privacy...!
Av: Jao, jakar tumhare liye aur Angad ke liye coffee bana lo...Teady nahi hai...Abhi bahar gaya hai, sabjiyan lene...!
Kripa blushed a little, realizing that Avantika must have seen her and Angad together...She quickly went in and prepared coffee...By the time she was out, Angad was already sitting and having some snacks with Avantika...She gave him his cup and shyly sat down to have hers...
Av: Acha hai Kripa, tumhari wajah se kum se kum pool ka kuch to use ho raha hai...Varna ye log to gaye 6 mahinon se ek bhi baar nahi gaye...Mujhe to laga ki pura waste hain...Par aab lag raha hai ki acha hai, kum se kum tum enjoy kar rahi ho...!
A: Mom, tum bhi swimming sikh lo...So, you can join her...He said grinning...
Av: Iss umr mein...She said rolling her eyes...
A: So what...! You are still fit and fine...! He said grinning...
Kripa smiled...
Av: Aaj ghar kaise aa gaya itni jaldi...
A: woh ek manager ko hire kar liya hai mein ne ma...Aaj se kaam shuru kar diya usne...To aab sham ko free rahunga...! He said grinning...!
Av: Are wah...ye to achi baat hai...Bechari Kripa ghar mein waise bhi baithe baithe bor ho rahi thi...!
K: Nahi ma...aisi koi baat nahi hai...!
A: I am sorry Kripa...Woh 2-3 weeks studio nahi gaya tha na, issiliye wahan bhi jyada der rukna pad raha tha aur baki kaam bhi itne pending the, ki waqt hi nahi mila...! He said genuinely...Par aab ye manager ko hi mein ne meetings attend karke saab arrange karne ko kaha hai...Woh saab aab sambhal lega...Aab mujhe bas reharsels ke liye jana hoga...!
Kripa just smiled with understanding...
Av: Kripa, mujhe jara bahar jana hai...Thodi der mein laut aungi...! Sham ko jane wali thi saabke ane ke baad taki tum akeli na ho jao...Par aab to Angad hai, to tum donon baat karo...She said smiling and keeping the cup down...She got up and left soon, while Angad and Kripa sat there silently drinking their coffee...
A: So, kya karne ka irrada hai aab...Kripa shrugged...Angad raised his eyebrows...Roj kya karti thi? He asked curious about her day...! Kripa bit her lips, not sure if she should tell him...I hope you were not upto any mischief...He said grinning and Kripa rolled her eyes...She then chuckled...
K: Kuch nahi...tumhare studio mein jakar thoda gane ka practice karti thi aur tumhare songs bhi gane ki koshish karti thi...! Who tumhara ek book hai, jismein tumne saab songs likha hai...Bas wahi lekar try karti thi...
A: Really? Par dhun?
Kripa frowned...Dhun? Kamal ke ho tum bhi Angad...Tumhare ganon ke dhun to sare bachon ke zuban par bhi hai...Aur tum ho ki...! Bachon se yaad aya ki mein ne to Soham se pucha hi nahi ki usse photos mile ki nahi ...!
A: Soham? He asked confused...
K: Haan woh apne ghar mein jo shift hue hain woh...Angad chuckled nodding...
A: Don't worry, mil gaye...Mein ne woh post nahi kiye, balki driver ko bheja tha dene...! Kripa looked at him surprised, but then smiled and nodded...Hmm...to ye chal raha tha last two weeks se...Chalo, aaj tumhara exam hai...! He said grinning and pulling her up...
K: Exam? She asked surprised...
A: Dekhun to dhun barabar ga rahi ho ki nahi...Nahi to pata chala ki bas aise hi time pass kar rahi ho...He said frowning...Kripa just chuckled and went with him...Angad closed the door of the studio and pulled her in his arms...Kissing her tenderly...Kripa chuckled...
K: Ho gaya exam? She asked slowly and Angad grinned...!
A: No way, ye tumhare liye best of luck kiss tha...! Aab nikalo mera book aur shuru ho jao...He said taking his guitar and sitting on the sofa...Kripa blushed and took his book and started singing along with Angad...They sang song after song, until they sang almost each song in his book and Angad grinned with delight...He couldn't believe that Kripa had almost memorized all the songs, and even caught with the rythem, so wonderfully...
K: So? She asked grinning and Angad gave her a mean look...
A: I am Jelous...! He declared, making Kripa look at him with a frown...Suddenly Angad started chuckling and kept his guitar aside and went to Kripa and hugged her tightly...Wonderful, amazing and not to mention truly perfect...He said laughing...Kripa blushed hugging him...Vow, I can't believe that you caught up with my years worth work in couple of weeks...He said rolling his eyes...Kal Shabeer ke yahan jana hai sham ko khane par...! Tumhe bhi bulaya hai...Mein apne gane uske aur Heena ke direction mein likhta hun...Yay un kaho ki adha se jyada to wahi gane likhte hain...! He said grinning...Haar mahine ek do din, mein unke sath bitata hun, jahan hum saab gana aur uske dhun compose karte hain...
K: Par shabeer ne to instruments mein major kiya tha...? She asked confused...
A: Haan, par unki Hindi mere hindi se kaffi behtar hai...Aur Heena ne to poetry aur gajal ke classes bhi liye the...!
K: Vow...
A: So, aab se tum bhi humare group mein ho...! He said winking...Dhun ki pehchan to tumhe bhi hain...So, you can help me in it...!
Kripa smiled and nodded...
Kripa then looked at the time and frowned...It was almost 8 in the evening...
K: Are baap re...Angad anth baj gaye hain...! Saab aa bhi gaye honge aur khana khane ke liye intajar kar rahe honge...She said frowning...Chalo aab bahar...She said getting up...But when she reached the door and turned around, she found Angad still sitting on the sofa with a grin...Aab aa rahe ho ki yahin baithna hai...?
A: Aa raha hun baba...! He said grinning and going out with her chuckling...But their steps flatered when they heard someone calling for Mishti...
Angad and Kripa looked at eachother and then slowly walked towards the living room and sure enough Mishti was sitting there talking to Dilip and Avantika...Kripa looked at Angad with question and he kept a finger on his lips indicating her to be quite...He whispered something in her ear and she nodded and backed off going to their room from the back steps...
Angad slowly went out and walked in the living room, once Kripa was out of sight...
A: Are Mishti, tum kab ayi...?
M: Bas abhi ayi...She said looking at him suspiciously...!
A: Kuch kaam tha kya? He asked frowning...
D: Are ye kya baat hui Angad...Tumhari dost hai ye...Kaam na ho to milne nahi aa sakti kya? He asked frowning at Angad's unfriendly behavior...
Angad came out of his thoughts and sighed...
A: Sorry...bas thak gaya tha issiliye...Sorry papa...
Av: Kripa kahan hai beta...
A: Kripa? Mujhe kya pata ma...Yahin kahin hogi...He said frowning...
Av: Tumhare sath to thi, jab mein bahar nikli...
A: Nahi...Aap ke jane ke baad mein studio mein chala gaya...Mujhe nahi pata ki woh kahan hai...! He said sighing...He saw Mishti relxing a little and sighed rolling his eyes...! Anyway, ma bhuk lagi hai...Khana taiyar hai kya?
Av: Haan beta...Mein bas tumhe hi bulane wali thi...Teady ne khana laga diya hai...Ja jakar Kripa ko bula la...
Angad called Aliyah, who was coming down the stairs...
A: Aliyah, dekho Kripa room mein hai ki nahi...Usse khane par bulana please...He said and Aliyah nodded and went up again...
Kripa and Aliyah were down in minutes and everyone went to dinning and sat there having their dinner...Kripa and Angad stared at eachother in between silently, but did not talk much...They were both boiling up in anger, but kept calm and had their dinner...Mishti kept talking with everone other than Aliyah, who was as silent as Angad and Kripa...!
D: Are Aliyah, aaj tumhe kya ho gaya...Itni chup kyun ho...?
Al: Kuch nahi papa, bas thoda thak gayi hun...mera ho gaya...Mein jakar so jati hun ma...Good night Kripa bhabhi...she said loud and clear, wanting Mishti to know that Kripa was their family member and her brother's wife and she had no business here...Kripa bit her lips and looked at Angad, who raised his eyebrows and then frowned...! Others also looked at her confused, but then shook their head and finished their dinner...Mishti too did not miss the warning note from Aliyah to her...! She was furious at Aliyah's obvious display...!
But she kept quite and stayed there for next hour or so...Kripa helped Teady here and there and then reluctantly went out in the living room, where everyone was talking...
Av: Aao beta, baitho...
K: Nahi ma...mein sone jati hun...! She said smiling...Bye Mishti...She said and turned around before Mishti could reply and was gone...
At last Mishti too got up and took her leave...
Av: Jao beta Angad, bahar tak chod aao...Avantika said and Angad nodded going with Misthi...
M: Angad, I think you should hire a new PA for this manager you hired, to look out for your shows and finance...!
A: Kyun? Tum resign kar rahi ho kya? He asked hopefully...with raised eyebrows...
Mishti frowned and Angad just chuckled...Wishful thinking he thought bitterly, but then looked at her with a smile...
M: Tum bhi na Angad...! Aisi koi baat nahi hai...! Aab mein do do logon ki PA to nahi ban sakti na...!
A: I know...And I don't need a PA now Mishti...Mein bas apne reharsels par dhyan dunga aab...! Shabeer ne kaha hai ki woh instruments aur uske related saab kaam sambhal lega...Aur management, sponsorship, financing aur shows arrange karne ka sara kaam yeh apna naya manager karega...! So, you can help him and give him all the details he needs...That will be a huge thing for me...It will release me of unnecessary stress...!Papa uss manager ka followup karenge aur accounts book every month check karlenge...At least I will have time for what I like to do...! He said sighing...! So, don't worry about me...Kal se tum office mein uss manager ke sath hi rehna, taki mujhe kuch fikr na ho...! He said smiling...Mishti looked away unhappily, but then sighed and agreed and Angad smiled to himself...! He opened the door for Mishti and she sat in reluctantly...Bye...sambhal kar jana...He said smiling at her...Mishti looked up at him and nodded with a small smile...
M: Bye...She said and slowly drove off and Angad sighed in relief...Atleast from tomorrow, she would not be behind him full 12 hours...! He thought rolling his eyes angrily...He needed some solid proof and he would throw her out of his life forever...! He thought angrily...
He walked back in and went up to their room...Kripa was in the rest room, so he lay on the bed waiting for her to come...Kripa was out in 10 minutes, ready for the bed, looking wonderful...She was wiping her face as she came out and then smiled looking at Angad, who was staring at her...!
A: Shayad Mishti andhi hi hai, jo ye nahi dekh pa rahi hai ki, mein apni itni khubsurat biwi ko chod kar uske paas kabhi nahi aaunga...He said grinning...Kripa blushed and then went to the dressing table and started brushing her hairs...She saw Angad standing behind her and blushed even more...!
He slowly bent down and kissed her cheeks from behind and took her arm and pulled her up...He switched on the tape with the remote he had in his hand and light music started playing in the background...He took her and started dancing with her, staring in her eyes...He expertly circled her around and taking lead danced with her for next 30 minutes non stop, until sweat covered Kripa's forehead...They both just forgot everything as they danced together in perfect harmony...Their steps matched together perfectly and they themselves were unaware as their feet and hands had their own agenda...They had eyes only for eachother...! And their hearts just knew where they belonged...
At last Angad stopped and looked at her, trying to get hold of his breathe...He had never enjoyed dancing more than he did when he was with her...! Yeah he loved dancing and he loved music, but never was so deep in it that he lost himself, so very completely...! It was as if he did not have to think what next with Kripa...Because his feets just would know what came next and took over...!
Josh keh raha tha ki tumne bahot sare dances sikhe last year...! Aur kaunsa ata hai...? He asked looking at her seriously...Kripa blushed and told him...He raised his eyebrows and then suddenly left her and started searching for the cd he wanted and then started the music...He slowly turned and saw Kripa was still standing where she was...He went to her and gave her his hand and she slowly gave him her hand, without disturbing their eye contact...Angad slowly began to sway taking her along with him...Lost in the music, they danced until their feet hurt and at last grinned as they touched their foreheads together and stayed their till their heart beats came down to normal...
A: Wonderful...! He whispered...! As he lifted her in his arms and went to the bed...
Next evening they met Shabeer at his home...!
Shabeer came out grinning and asked them to sit...Kripa looked around at the small but beautiful home...
K: Bhaiya, Heena bhabhi kahan hai...? She asked after few minutes...
S: Baas aa rahi hai Kripa...Abhi uthi hai...! Thoda thak gayi thi to ankh lag gayi...
A: Hum galat waqt par to nahi aa gaye na bhai...! Angad asked mischiviously...Kripa looked at him with a frown, but Angad and Shabeer chuckled...The door opened at that moment and heavily pregnant Heena walked out of the door and Kripa looked at her with surprise...Angad got up with a grin...Hey Heena...Kya haal hai...!
H: Puch mat Angad...! Bas aab raah dekh rahi hun, ki ye janab bahar nikal aye...Nahi to meri khair nahi...Hi Kripa...! Atlast tumse mulakat to hui...Shabeer se roj tareef sunti thi, par milne ka mauka hi nahi mila...She said chuckling...Baitho, tum saab aise khade ho gaye mujhe dekhkar jaise mein tumhari dost nahi court ki judge hun...! She said with a grin...Angad chuckled...
A: Shabeer to tumhe judge hi samjhta hai waise Heena...! Kuch bhi puchun to kehta hai Heena se puch kar bataunga...!
H: Acha hai...! To Kripa, kaisa lag raha hai yahan...! Shabeer to bahot miss karta tha US...What about you?
K: Mujhe yahin acha lagta hai...! Wahan to bas padhai ke liye ruki thi, taki degree mil jaye...
H: Hmmm...Acha hai...Chalo, issase pehle inki shero shayari shuru ho jaye, kuch kha lete hain...Nahi to mehfil raat tak aise hi chalti rahegi...She said taking Kripa in...
K: Aap Angad ko pehle se janti ho? She asked surprised at her so friendly way with Angad...Heena chuckled...
H: Nahi to...Bas ek saal se janti hun...! Issase pehle to hum Hyderabad mein rehte the...Angad ne Shabeer ko wada kiya tha, ki woh shows jab bhi shuru karega to inhe bula lega...! To aa gaye hum...! Waise shabeer ne bataya ki tum bhi kafi ache gati ho...! Aaj tumhari awaj bhi sunani hai mujhe...! Uss din tumhare function par nahi aa saki...Thodi thakan lag rahi thi...She said smiling...
Soon they all sat down after dinner and started discussing Angad's next rythem and tried to make some wordings, fighting and laughing in between...Kripa too got involved with them and they all lost track of time, until Heena started yawning...They looked at the time and it was almost 1...
They decided to do the rest next week, if time permited and started getting up, when Heena stopped them...
H: Hey kahan ja rahe ho...! Kripa, tumhara gana sune bagair to hum kahin nahi jane dene wale aaj tum donon ko...! She said grinning and Angad chuckled...
A: Common Kripa...Ek gana suna hi do...! Nahi to ye nahi jane dene wale hume...! Kripa grinned and nodded...She thought of the song to sing and then slowly started singing...

soona soona lamha lamha, meri raahain tanha tanha
mur ke zara ab dekh lo, aisa milan phir ho na ho
sab kuch mera tum hi to ho
bepanah pyar hai aa ja, tera intezaar hai aa ja - 2
soona soona lamha lamha, meri raahain tanha tanha
bichray bhi ham jo kabhi raston main to sang sang rahon gi sada
qadmon ki awaz sun ke chalon gi, tumhain dhoondh loon gi sada
bholi mohabbat ki yeh khushbooin hain, hawaon main phaili hooi
choo kar mujhay aaj mehsoos kar lo, woh yaadain meri un chooi
aisa milan phir ho na ho, sab kuch mera tum hi to ho
bepanah pyar hai aa ja, tera intezaar hai aa ja-2
soona soona lamha lamha, meri raahain tanha tanha
yadon ke dhagon main ham tum bandhay hain, zara dor tum thaam lo
banhon main phir say pighal janay do mujhay, phir say mera naam lo
main woh shama hoon jo roshan tumhain kar ke, khud to pighal jaaon gi
subha ka sooraj tumharay liye hain main hoon raat, dhal jaaon gi
aisa milan phir ho na, sab kuch mera tum hi to ho
bepanah pyar hai aa ja, tera intezaar hai aa ja-2
soona soona lamha lamha, meri raahain tanha tanha
soona soona lamha lamha, meri raahain tanha tanha
mur ke zara ab dekh lo, aisa milan phir ho na ho
sab kuch mera tum hi to ho
She finished the song and slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Heena, who was looking at her with awe...
H: Vow Angad...Shabeer, you were absolutely wrong...She is not just good...Just is absolutely amazing...!She said grinning...Hey, why don't you join Angad...You both can be a wonderful team...! It is like you are made for eachother...! Meri mano Angad, issase pehle koi aur isse chura le, apne sath mila lo...Nahi to bahot bada muquabla hoga tumhara...! She said grinning...Kripa chuckled and looked at Angad, who was staring at her...!
A: I am Jelous...! He declared openly...Heena not fair...! Kal tak jo ladki meri awaj ki diwani thi, achanak aaj ek baar sunkar tum iske awaj ke piche pad gayi...That is just so unfair...he said frowning and looking at Heena...!
H: Fair ya unfair, doesn't matter Angad...Iski awaj ki mithas ki baat kuch aur hi hai...I think you can take a tip or two...! Kripa bit her lips, hoping Angad was just joking...! And then she sighed in relief, when Angad started chuckling and said that may be he should and they were right...They took their leave and reached home soon...Kripa was about to go to restroom when Angad stopped her...
A: Hey, did you really think I would be jelous of you...? He asked with a grin...Kripa looked at him for couple of minutes and slowly nodded...Pagal ho bilkul...Samjhi ki nahi tum...He said chuckling and Kripa smiled and nodded...Apne fans ke list mein mera naam saab se age likh lena...! Nahi to sach much jelous ho jaunga...! He said kissing her and then grinning and leaving her open mouthed...
Days passed by and Angad spent many hours at home instead of studios dancing and singing with Kripa, playing in the pool, excercising with her...Spending more time with their family and so on...He even bought a new car for Kripa, so she would be independent and Kripa was able to drive it herself after a little practice...It was different driving in India, as she was used to US rules...But, Angad had every intention to hire a driver for her, so there would be no security issue...He did not feel comfortable Kripa going all alone out without proper security and said so and Kripa abided by his wishes knowing he would worry and only drove if he was around...
Mishti on the other side was stuck with the new manager, as she had to finish her task in the office hours...! She was getting angry day by day and blasted at the manager sometimes...The manager kept quite knowing that she was his boss friend...! But she was getting on his nerve as well...! Mishti was a little suspicious of Angad Kripa as well, but Angad Kripa too became more careful around her and pretended to still be angry on eachother...They wanted some solid proofs to put her in place, if they wanted her out of their life either...That way, she won't be able to mess their life anymore...!
K: Angad, mein Heena ke yahan ja rahi hun...Kripa said one morning, straightning the pillow and bedsheets before going down for the breakfast and Angad nodded as he got ready...
A: Thik hai, mein apne driver ko keh deta hun...
K: Par Angad tumhe to Bombay Pune Highway par kuch kaam hai na...Mein khud chali jaungi...Tum driver ko le jao...Waise bhi I am comfortable with my car now...Aab studio aur mall mein to jati hun ma ke sath...
A: No way Kripa...Heena ka ghar kafi dur hai yahan se, almost other end of the city...! I am not letting you go driving there alone...Either go with driver, or cancel your program...!
K: Common Angad, driving to ati hai na mujhe aur routes bhi to pata hai...Mein ja sakti hun...!
A: I said no Kripa...! Please...! He requested...Aur waise bhi mujhe yahan ka driving ka experience hai...You will be more comfortable with the driver...Trust me... He said rolling his eyes and Kripa sighed...
K: Thik hai baba...Jao...Mein driver ko le jati hun...Mein cancel nahi karungi aaj...Heena bahot dinon se keh rahi thi ane ke liye aur uske koi friends bhi aa rahe hain...Ek week pehle hi humara plan fix hua tha, ki aaj hum uske ghar milenge aur pura din spend karenge...Usse bhi acha lagega...She is missing her family in Hyderabad...So, mein jakar aati hun...Angad smiled and kissed her forehead happy that she did not argue much over the driver issue...He had bought the car for her, but was afraid to let her go alone and he had his reasons...For one it was security issue and other was Kripa wasn't much experienced driving in Mumbai traffic, and further Heena and Shabeer's house was far from here...He would constantly worry, and would not be able to concentrate on his work, if she went alone...
A: Good, Shabeer has been one of my closest friend from a long time...And he has been very sincere and helpful...And not to mention Heena as well...I am happy that you like her company...Have a nice day...! Hey, ek kaam karo Kripa...Tum mere car mein chali jao...As and then tumhari car mein kuch accessories lagvani hai na...So, I will go to the dealer and have them fixed, ussi taraf ja raha hun, to dono kaam ek sath ho jayenge...
Kripa frowned...Sara kaam to naukaron ko aur driver ko de dete ho...Aaj ye khud fix karne ki baat kahan se ayi? She asked suspiciously and Angad chuckled...
A: You are becoming a little devil day by day...Kyun, ek din ke liye apna car share nahi kar sakti...He said raising his eyebrows and holding her waist and capturing her to him...Kripa bit her lips, but then looked at him and slowly touched his chest...
K: Ye kyun nahi kehte ki meri car lekar long drive par jane ka plan hai tumahara...
Angad grinned...So, you caught me...Anyway, tum bhi chalo...Sath aur maza ayega...
K: I wish I could...Par...May be next time...Tum le jao...Par sambhal kar chalana...I don't want my new car to have a single scratch...
Angad frowned...Hey common...I thought you would be more concerned about me...Mujhe laga tum kahogi sambhal kar chalana...Take care of your self and so on...Par tumhe to apni car ki jyada padi hai...! Kripa chuckled and Angad rolled his eyes leaving her...Jao, baat nahi karni mujhe tumse...! I think I liked the old Kripa better, who was sweet and caring...Kripa chuckled...
K: Your fault...Aur hey, mein ne nahi kaha tha ki tum tumhare last do shows ke sare profits iss car mein dalo...But you were adamnt to buy me the best car...! So, aab itni mehengi car, I need to take care of it...Right...She said rolling her eyes...
A: You are paying for this, today evening...He said looking at her with a frown as well as mischief and Kripa grinned...Angad just chuckled shaking his head and going to her pulling her near...Jaldi aana sham ko...! I have to take my revenge...
K: Car, sambhalkar...She started saying with a grin, when Angad covered her mouth with hers...They both started chukling by the time they were done and Angad kissed her forehead and winked at her, as they walked out...
Kripa left in Angad's car, saying bye to Avantika as Angad gathered few papers he needed...Avantika was happy to see Kripa socializing and taking interest in going out and loved to see so many changes in her...Even her initial shyness was gone now and she was more relaxed than before...Angad too said bye to her and left after 15-20 minutes...Her cell started ringing when Kripa was still on her way and she smiled looking at Angad's number...
K: Common Angad, abhi to nikali hun...Angad chuckled...
A: I was missing you...
K: Angad...!
A: Sorry, just joking...
K: Kya matlab...She asked frowning...
A: Are kuch nahi meri ma... Mein to bas ye puch raha tha, ki woh tumhare car ke dealers ke paper kahan hai...! I need those...
K: Car mein hi hai, bich ke compartment mein...Thik se dekhna mil jayenge...She said making faces...
A: Hey kya hua? Ghusse mein ho kya...
K: Haan tumse matlab...Bye...Mein rakhti hun...She said rolling her eyes...Just joking...She repeated his words, muttering to herself...She heard Angad chuckle on the other side and realized that he was still online and heard her...She switched off the phone and made faces...
Angad on the other side was amused by Kripa's anger...It felt good to see that they were normal couple after all...And he would have blast of a time to pacify her in the evening...He thought with a grin, as he looked through the compartments for the papers...He soon found what he was looking and sighed and kept it inside and started the car...
Kripa on the other side, was almost near Heena's house, when her cell started ringing again...Kripa was still angry and looked at Angad's number and rolled her eyes...She did not took the call, and let it ring, when the phone started ringing again...It had been almost an hour and half now that they were travelling and she was happy that she had listened to Angad and took the driver...There was so much traffic and all, that she did not think she would have been able to drive so smoothly here...She took the call smiling at his impatience, knowing he must be calling for apologizing...when her eyes widened...
K: Ji? She asked, suddenly loosing all color...her hands shook, as the man on the other side talked to her... she could do nothing but listen to the person numbly...Kaunse hospital mein? She asked with shaking hand after she heard what he had to say and suddenly stopped the driver...Bhaiya, please turn lijiye... hospital chaliye, jaldi , she said trembling a little, trying to control the fear she suddenly felt and telling the name of the hospital, as her eyes filled with tears...The driver nodded with a frown and raced towards it...Kripa just sat still suddenly the flashes of her childhood visible before her...Suddenly the car jerked to a hault and Kripa came out of her thoughts with a shudder...Kya hua? She whispered...
D: Maam, hospital...Maam is there a problem...? But before he finished the sentence Kripa was out of the car and ran towards the building...The driver was concerned and called home immediately letting them know about Kripa and about their whereabouts...
Back to Kripa, she ran to the reception area and asked about Angad and the girl suddenly got up recognizing her with wide eyes looking at Kripa...She could see the tears and started saying something, but Kripa was not in the position to talk to her...
K: Where is my husband...? She shouted once more with tears and the girl almost ran out and led her to his room...Kripa just ran with her, not knowing what lay ahead of her...Not the repeat of the past...She thought dreading...And then the girl stopped and showed her the room, with concern and Kripa walked as her legs almost gave her away, and if not for the support of the door, she might have fallen down there and there...And then her eyes closed tigtly, as she looked at Angad and she trembled and almost sat down with tears...
Angad who was talking and laughing at the nurse, who was telling him something, looked up with a frown and his eyes widened looking at kripa...
A: Kripa...? He asked suddenly getting up and running to her, but Kripa was in no condition to listen to him...She was in her own grief and Angad looked at her with concern, thinking how she came to know about his accident ...Kripa, I am fine...Dekho meri taraf...! He said trying to shake her a little, but Kripa still had her eyes tightly closed as her forehead covered with sweat and her cheeks wet with tear...The girl and nurse looked at Kripa with concern...While Angad desperately tried to make Kripa see that he was alright...But when even after 10 minutes, Kripa was still not able to get out of her emotions, he shouted loudly shaking her couple of times badly...God damit Kripa...I am not dead...! Stop this nonsense and open your eyes...! He said angrily and Kripa stilled, hearing his voice...Angad looked at her with anger and Kripa opened her eyes shocked and looked at him...Kya hai ye saab? He asked with a frown...Kya hogaya tha tumhe...It was just a stupid accident Kripa...! Nothing big...Look at your self...If you can't even take a small problem in life, how are you going to handle your self in future...? Apne daar ko apne aap par havi mat hone dena, Kripa...!Forget the past and try to come out of your fear...! Utho...! He said pulling her up...Kripa could do nothing but stare at him, as her eyes kept flowing...He left her and went back to the nurse, who was still waiting for him to come and finish his dressing, looking at Kripa worriedly...She tried to tell something, when Angad came back and she kept quite not wanting to come inbetween them, after seeing Angad's angry face...He went as she tied the bandage to his forearm, which had 5-6 stiches...There were stiches on the side of his ears as well and the nurse quietly finished her work, while the receptionist brought a glass of water feeling bad for Kripa...Kripa took the glass without a word and sat where the girl led her to, closing her eyes as tears kept coming from her eyes...But she was more in control of herself now, than before and just sat there silently for next 20 minutes or so...
Suddenly the door opened and Kartik and Avantika came in frowning and closed their eyes looking at Angad...
Av: Angad, ye kaise hua...? Aur phone kyun nahi kiya...? Aur Kripa kahan...Suddenly she stopped looking at Kripa, who was still sitting there as tears kept coming from her eyes...Kripa beta...
Angad was almost done, and before Kartik or Avantika could say a word, Angad stopped them...!
A: Mom, wait... I need to talk to her...! He said angrily wearing his shirt, which was ripped out and had some blood stains...!
Avantika looked at him with a frown, surprised at his angry tone...She had never seen him get so angry this way on Kripa, though she knew had his moments...
Av: Beta, uski halat to...
A: Mom, please, stop babying her...ok...Chota sa accident tha aur ye aise react kar rahi hai ki...I need to talk to her...He said angrily going to Kripa and pulling her up by her arms and Avantika looked at him with a angry frown and was about to go to them, when Kartik stopped her...She looked at him...Aap ghar jaiye mom, we will be there soon...He said still pulling Kripa out of the room...
Av: Kartik, rok usse...uski halat to dekh...Aur ye Angad hai ki...
Ka: Mom, let him...! I am sure Kripa will be ok...! He said and Avantika frowned and looked at the nurse...Kartik too looked at her and then asked about what happened...Avantika kept looking at the empty door way, with worry, hoping that Angad would be sensible enough to know her fears...! As soon as the driver called her, she knew something must have happened...And when she saw Angad with bandage, and then Kripa, she knew why Kripa had been so depressed...!
N: Sir, Angad ji ke car mein kuch problem ho gayi thi...Kuch break ki problem...Fortunately gadi dheere thi, issiliye...But he couldn't stop the car, aur samne kuch log road cross kar rahe the, aur unhe na lage, issiliye Mr. Khanna ne a jhad ki aur turn kar diya car ko...He crashed and his side of the window broke and he got couple of scratches...Thankfully nothing major, due to airbags and seat belt...She said sighing and Avantika closed her eyes thankful to God...
Av: Beta, dekh to Angad kahan le ja raha hai usse...Aur usse bhi to lagi hai...Aur ye...Kartik sighed and patted his mom...
Ka: He will be fine mom...And so will Kripa...Let him handle this his way ok...They both are not kids anymore and Angad has more right to Kripa now and you should also stop babying Kripa like always...Mein bill pay karke aata hun...He said leaving worried Avantika there and Avantika followed him out, after smiling slowly at the nurse, who looked at her sympathetically...Suddenly she stopped Avantika
N: Maam, ye doctor ne prescription di hai...Antibiotics aur pain killers hai...Angad ji koTetanus shot de diya hai humne aur pain killers bhi...So, he should be fine for now...Par shayad sham ko inki jaroorat ho...Avantika smiled taking it and thanking her...Ji, inhe jo yahan le aye the, woh police station gaye hain, formalities puri karne...Angad Ji se police ki baat ho gayi hai...She said filling in the details and Avantika nodded not knowing what else they needed to do and went out of the room...
She waited as Kartik talked to the receptionist and paid the bills and they walked out...Angad's car was gone, but they saw his driver in their car, along with their driver and frowned...
Av: Ye Angad bhi na...! Pata nhai kahan le gaya usse...Ghar jakar aaram karne ke badle...aur itna ghussa, ghar mein bhi to baat kar sakta tha na...aise...Avantika kept mumbling and Kartik sighed shaking his head at her over protectiveness towards Kripa...
Ka: Common mom...He is fine...And so will Kripa be...May be she got afraid like us, when she got the call...They were about to start when a man came there running to them...
M: Ji Namaste, aap Angad Ji ke liye aye hain na...
Ka: Ji...
M: Ye unka mobile...! Woh unki gadi takrai thi, to hum saab wahin the...Mere paan ke dukaan ke samne hi ye accident hua...Unhe yahan lakar, phir kuch log formalities puri karne chale gaye...Mein wahan apne dukan par wapas gaya to ye mobile pada mila...Mein ne hi unke mobile se unke patni ka number dial karke unhe accident ke bare mein bataya...! Ye lijiye mobile...Gadi, police ke log le gaye hain...!
Ka: Aap ki madad ke liye bahot bahot shukriya...Kartik said taking the mobile...
M: Ji humara farz tha...Angad ji kaise hain?
Ka: Thik hai aab, ghar gaye hain...Thanks once again...The man nodded and took a step behind as the car went off...Kartik called Dilip and said that everything was fine and they will talk once they come home...
Avantika and Kartik soon reached home, where Dilip was waiting for them...He sighed as they came in and asked about what happened and Kartik told him everything in detail and Avantika sighed blinking her tears, thanking God that Angad was safe...
D: Angad hain kahan? He asked frowning and Avantika looked up worriedly...
Ka: Kripa ke sath bahar gaya hai papa...Aa jayega...
D: Aisi halat mein...? He asked frowning and Avantika got up worriedly and told him about Angad's anger, while Kripa kept crying...
Av: Pata nahi, itne ghusse mein kyun tha...? Aab usse fikr to hogi na, koi aise call karke accident ke barre mein bataye to...Uski kya halat hui hogi, mein samajh sakti hun...Aur uppar se Angad usse hi dant raha tha...! Ye bhi koi baat hui bhala...
Dilip sighed and patted Avantika...Uss par yakeen rakho Avantika...! Unhe ghar ane do, phir dekhte hain...He said sighing...Shukr hai, kuch nahi hua Angad ko...!
Avantika sighed nodding, while Kartik walked off saying he was going to office, as Priya was alone...He called the police station to ask about the accident and got the message that the accident was reported and would be investigated and they had taken the car to the dealer, to fix according to Angad's instructions...He thanked them and left after telling the same to his dad...
Back to Angad, he drove around for next 20 minutes or so, and then stopped the car, looking at Kripa with a frown, as she still was too numb to talk and her cheeks still wet...He went to her side and opened the door and pulled Kripa out, while Kripa just followed him without protest...
She had no idea where they were as she stood where Angad left her...!
A: Kripa...! He said a little frustrated, when she still stood there looking down at her fingers...Kripa looked up at him shuddering a little at his angry tone, but then suddenly ran to him and hugged him tightly...Angad who was angry just couple of seconds ago looked at Kripa stunned as her tears drenched his shirt...He just couldn't say a word and stood there neither moving nor taking her in his arms...He was a little frustrated that Kripa had become so miserable, even if it was just a small accident, and he was in front of her, totally fit...Even though he understood her fear was somewhat related to her parents accident, he did not want her to be so depressed or inadequate in such situations...Rather he wanted her to be strong...He thought she had comeout of it and her fears, but still it seemed like she still had a part of her, which was still shocked as well as not getting over with what had happened long time ago...! He could see the signs of pain today as well... He hurt for her, but he did not want her to live under this fear, because it would always affect them every step of the way...The way she was shaking, she might start to react on her fears, instead of keeping it aside as an unfortunate incident...
A: No Kripa, this is not done...He said more calmly now after Kripa became silent, still in his arms though...He slowly took her by shoulders and made her look at him...Kripa, aise chote bade incidents to hote rehte hain...! You can't become so helpless in such situations...Iss daar se kaise jeeyogi...? And I hate it...! Do you get me? He said looking in her eyes and Kripa looked away blinking her tears...I hate this helpness you feel...I hate to see you in such condition Kripa...! Everyone has to die some day, and unfortunately, you lost your parents when you were young...Par apne ass paas dekho Kripa...He said angrily...There are kids who live their life all alone, without any parents since their childhoods...There are kids who are abondened during births...You are not alone, who lost everything Kripa...Atleast you should count your blessings that we all are with you...! I know it hurts to loose people we love...But, we can't stay with the fear of death approaching us or our loved ones every step of the way...! People come and they go, but life doesn't wait for anyone...Nor it stops there...Aaj to mein bach gaya, par ho sakta hai kal...Suddenly Kripa kept a hand on his lips looking at him with equal anger...
K: Aaj keh diya, agar dubara kahoge, to humesha ke liye tum se dur chali jaungi...! She said wiping her tears angrily and turning away and Angad stilled...Janti hun mein aur samajhti bhi hun...Ki aisi daar ke saye mein jeena, aise situations mein aise khud ko na sambhal pana...Janti hun ki ye ek kamjori hai...Par Angad, saab kuch apne hath mein to nahi hota na...Aaj tak tum ne jo bhi kaha mein ne socha, mana, apne aap ko badla...Par aaj tum galat ho...You don't know the feeling of loosing someone who is closest to you Angad...! She said turning around and looking in his eyes...Ye tum aaj nahi samjhoge...Iska ehsaas tumhe tab hota, agar aaj tumhari jagah mein...Angad, just stopped her from saying more, keeping his lips on hers, kissing her until everything else was forgotten...Slowly they parted and Kripa stared in his eyes...
A: I am sorry...! He whispered wiping her tears and Kripa looked at him sadly...Janta hun ki ye humare hath mein nahi hai Kripa...He said slowly caressing her hairs...Par mein nahi chahta ki meri Kripa aise kamjoor pade...I want you to be strong, be there for everyone when needed...I don't want you to be so dependent on anyone, if such situations ever come...I pray to God that they don't...But you know they are part of life and I want you to face life bravely...Janta hun ye kehne jitna aasan nahi hai, par ek baat yaad rakhna, this weakness will lead you to nowhere...!He said slowly, wanting her to understand what he felt and Kripa hugged him without a word...She knew why he was angry, but she couldn't help herself today...Accident word was something, which still gave her creeps and her hands still shook...And further Angad was her life, her soulmate, her other half...She knew fate can't be so cruel to her...But still old fears die hard...Further, Angad did not know one thing, that it was not the fear which made her so numb, but relief...Her heart, which had almost stopped beating hearing the accident word from a stranger, suddenly started beating again, looking at Angad safe and sound there and that relief had made her sit there and wish that her parents would have been here as well...The images of her parents making her nervous, while the relief to see Angad all fine and sitting made her totally weak at the same time...Her emotions were so mixed that she did not know what to feel at all for those few moments...! She slowly looked up and told him about her feelings, with tears...Trying to explain to him the same and Angad quietly listened to her and finally when she was done and looked at him with tears, he just hugged her kissing her hairs, promising her that he would never leave her ever...
Kripa looked at him smiling through tears...
A: I know it is difficult to control our emotions sometimes Kripa, but I just want you not to feel so helpless and wither the moment you are face such situations...Kabhi kabhi achanak aise hadse ho jate hain, par bahot log ussase bahar bhi ate hain, aur dubara jeena sikhte hain...Always try to think positive...Jindagi mein agar saab positively lenge, to saab acha hi dikhega, problems honge to solutions bhi milenge, aur solutions nab hi ho to bhi himmat to jaroor milegi, uss problem ko face karne ke liye...He said softly, caressing her face, while Kripa was still hugging him tightly...Chalo ghar chale...? Kripa nodded and slowly looked up...
K: Kaha than a ki car sambhal kar chalana...? She said frowning...Dekha, pehle hi time lekar gaye aur...she sniffed wiping her nose...Angad grinned...
A: Sorry, I promise dubara ye galti nahi hogi...He said laughing and kissing her forehead...
Kripa made faces and kissed his chest lightly, praying to God silently thanking him for saving Angad's life...How she wished that her parents were also...She sighed shaking her head...That would never happen and she had to accept it...Though she had never thought much about the accident, today hearing that word again had bought tremors in her... Angad squeezed her shoulder and led her to the car, as his hands were paining a little...
K: Tum baitho passenger seat par, mein drive karungi...Kripa said wiping her eyes and nose and Angad nodded without protest and sat in passenger seat...Kripa reversed the car and they were on their way back...Both in their own thoughts and silent the whole way home and when they reached, Angad took her in his arms and walked up...Avantika and Dilip who were waiting for them, got up to talk to them, but Angad and Kripa were in their own thoughts and directly went up and Dilip stopped Avantika asking her to leave them alone...Avantika nodded sadly and went to Teady and asked him to take lunch for Kripa and Angad upstairs and then serve her and Dilip here in the dinning...Teady nodded and walked off...
Angad and Kripa reached their room and changed and freshened up...Kripa helped Angad wipe up all the blood on his neck as well as his head, still shivering a little, while Angad caught her hand looking in her eyes, nodding at her to be brave...Kripa took a deep breathe and finished her work and helped him wearing fresh clothes, throwing away the blood stained shirt in the bin...She went and freshened up herself and sat on the other side of the bed silently...Angad looked at Kripa, who was in her own thoughts, but suddenly there was a knock on the door and Angad went to see who it was...Teady was there with the tray and Angad took the tray thanking him and closed the door...He went to Kriap and kept the tray on the bed and sat in the front...He filled a plate, while Kripa kept staring at him, trying to make herself believe that he was absolutely fine...He slowly bought his hands forward, for her to eat and Kripa took the bite, still staring at him...He just smiled softly and fed her, while she did the same, with fresh tears in her eyes, but Angad wiped them lovingly, kissing her forehead and once again assuring her that he was absolutely fine...They ate silently feeding eachother and then kept the tray aside and sat there in eachothers arms silently...By the time Angad looked down after a while, Kripa was fast asleep...Angad sighed caressing her face and slowly kept her on the pillow and kept looking at her, until the painkillers took effect and he was asleep as well...Angad woke up almost after an hour or so, to find Kripa still sleeping with her arms tightly wrapped around him, as if afraid to leave him...He smiled slowly and took her hands and kissed it lightly and then caressed her face...He kept staring at her face and slowly started kissing her nose, lips and then moved down not able to resist, until he found Kripa withering under his expert care...
Kripa opened her eyes shyly after a long time, when she felt Angad's gaze on her...He was grinning looking at him and Kripa blushed hugging him...He smiled kissing her forehead and hugged her...
A:You know what, tum ne to aaj mera sara plan chopat kar diya...He said laughing after a while and Kripa looked at him with raised eyebrows...Hey subah, itne dinon ke baad tumhe ghussa aya tha, to socha, sham ko tumhe khub manaunga, aur phir...Kripa rolled her eyes...
K: Woh to tumhe abb bhi karna hoga...She said angrily...Ek to khud ki galti, accident to kara liya, aur uppar se mujh par ghussa ho rahe the...She said making faces and walked away taking her clothes...Angad chuckled grinning as she disappeared in the bathroom, but not before he saw a sweet smile playing on her lips...He smiled sighing a little and closed his eyes...
Kripa slowly came out of the shock after a day or two and was fine, once again her old self and Angad sighed with relief along with Avantika...A month more passed by...But sill Mishti and the new manager could not get adjusted together...Mishti's insults were getting on him...
At last the new manager couldn't take it anymore and called Angad one evening, when Angad was busy in his studio...! Kripa and Avantika had gone out for some shopping and others were still in office...
M: Sir, mein aapse milna chahta hun...Agar aapke paas time ho to...He said hesitatingly...
A: Thik hai, aap mere ghar aa jaiye...He said frowning a little...
The manager was there soon and they sat in the living room...
A: Kahiye, Mr. Shetty, kya baat hai...Angad asked looking at the man's tensed face...
M: Woh Sir, baat ye hai ki...woh...
A: Kya baat hai? Kuch problem hai kya...? He asked frowning...
M: Ji mein Mishti madam ke sath kaam nahi karsakta sir...! He said at last after a lot of hesitation and Angad frowned...
A: Kyun kya hua?
M: Ji, woh unhe mere haar baat se problem hoti hain, subah meeting fix karun sponsors se to problem, sham ko karun to problem...Finance mein agar mein kahun ki aur bhi thoda contribution chahiye to mujh pe paise barbad karne ka iljam lagati hai, Kaam karne mein ek do ghante ki deri bhi ho jaye to who ghussa ho jati hai...Aisa lagta hai, jaise mein uska manager nahi naukar hun...! Mujhe ye job ki jaroorat hai, par roj roj jalil hokar mein kaam nahi kar sakta sir...Mein ne bahot koshish ki, ki mein woh jaise chahti hai, waise karun, par kabhi kabhi banks aur sponsorors der kar dete hain...Kisi ki delivery ho to woh mere haath mein to nahi hota na sir...Aap unhone der kar di, to mujh par baras panda...I just can't take this...Aap Mishti madam ko ek to kahin aur kaam de dijiye, nahi to mera resign karna hi behtar hoga...! He said slowly looking at him with worry...
Angad just stared at him for a while and then realized what Mishti was trying to do...!He could almost sense what was going on in her head...!
A: Aap please aaiye mere sath...He said taking him to his studio and closing the door...Mr. Shetty was recommended by Shabeer, who was his dad's friends son, though around 10-15 years bigger than Shabeer...Mr. Shetty, mein samjh sakta hun ki aap par kya beet rahi hai...Mein Mishti se baat karunga, aur ho sake to usse samjhane ki koshish karunga, par aap please abhi jane ki baat mat kijiye...Mujhe 2-3 mahine dijiye, mein saab thik kar dunga, I promise...! Ek baat aur hai, aap Mishti madam ko unki jagah yaad dilayenge...Ye mat sochiye ki woh meri dost hai...Uss dosti ki wajah se mein ne unhe job nahi diya hai...! Unke kabiliyat ki wajah se diya hai...! Aur phir aap mere sare projects aur finance manage karenge...Iss nate, unhe ye samjhmein ana chahiye ki woh appse ijjat se baat kare...Mein Mishti madam ko aapke PA ke ehsiyat se re-appoint karunga, aur aap unhe apni jagah khud bataiye...! Meri wajah se chup mat rahiye, kyun ki wahan woh meri dost nahi, apki PA hai, aur agar woh nahi sunana chahti, to aapko pura hak hai ki aap usse naukri se nikale...! Aur kisi aise admi ko rakhe, jo apko madad kare...! Filhal, itna jaan lijiye ki aap Mishti ke boss hai...! Par iss baat ka Mishti ko bhanak na lage, ki mein ne aapko ye advice diya hai...! He said smiling...The manager sighed in relief and smiled slowly...
M: Thanks very much Sir...! He said slowly and Angad nodded...
A: Aap ke liye ek aur kaam hai Mr. Shetty, Ms. Bose ko itna busy rakhiye, ki kisi aur ki aur dhyan hi na de aur daily mujhe report kijiye...!
M: Ji Sir, sure...! Mein woh Dilip Sir ke liye accounts book kab le aun?
A: Mein papa se baat karke bataunga aapko...!
M: Ji thik hai...Mein nikalun...
A: Sure Mr. Shetty, humari bich ki baat humare bich mein hi rehni chahiye...Samjhe aap...?
M: Ji Sir...He said smiling and slowly left...
Angad sighed shaking his head and went up and re-appointed Mishti as Mr. Shetty's PA, instead of his and then took print outs and signed them...He wanted to strangle her, but knew he had to bear her for some more time...He was almost finished and was about to get up, when Kripa came in...
A: Hey, Itni jaldi aa gaye? He asked surprised...
K: Haan Angad, ma ki tabiyat thik nahi lag rahi thi...Mein ati hun abhi...She said keeping the purse and going out without waiting...Angad frowned and went behind her, as she walked in Avantika's room...Avantika was almost sweating and feeling weak...Kripa ran to her and kept a hand on her shoulder and even Angad came running...
A: He helped Avantika sleep on the bed and looked at Kripa...Kya hua Kripa, Achanak...? Subah to thik thi...
K: Angad, bas hum nikal hi rahe the, jwellery shop se ki achanak ma ko chakkar aa gaya...Mein unhe lekar doctor ke paas gayi thi abhi...Unhone kaha ki BP badh gaya hai aur gynecologist ke paas jakar ek baar full check up karne ke liye advice diya hai...She said worriedly...Ma, aap baithiye, mein apke liye juice le ati hun...Dawaiyan bhi leni hai aapko...She said going out, leaving Angad with her...She was back with Juice as well as water and opened the medicine and gave it to her and then asked her to drink some juice...Avantika was asleep in minutes, after taking the medicine...Kripa just sat there worriedly looking at her...While Angad looked through the previous reports of his mother, so he could take appointment for her...!
Dilip walked in tired from the day's work and frowned looking at Avantika sleeping...
D: Kya hua isse? He asked going to Avantika worriedly...
Kripa told him about her BP and Angad told him that he had taken her appointment with his mothers doctor next day...!
Kartik and Priya along with Aliyah too came home and came to know about Avantika's health...Priya and Kripa stayed back with Avantika, while others had their dinner and then went to eat after they came and sat with Avantika...
At last tired after the days ordeal Kripa went to their room...Angad was busy going through his mails, when Kripa went near the table and kept her watch on it...She was about to go to freshen up, when her gaze fell on the papers with Mishti's name...She frowned and looked at it and then looked at Angad confused...
Angad told her about what Mishti was doing and Kripa just sighed shaking her head and walked off not wanting to even think about her for the moment...She went and freshened up and soon felt a lot better than she had been feeling...She sighed and sat back on the bed, closing her eyes...Angad wasn't in the room, so she just closed her eyes and relaxed back...
Angad went to Dilip's room to see to his mom...She was still sleeping, so Dilip asked him to go and sleep...! Angad went back to his room after talking with Kartik for few minutes and found Kripa fast asleep...He sighed and went to her and slowly lay her down on the pillow and then went to his side and fell asleep...
Next day Dilip and Avantika went to the see Avantika's doctor, while others went to their work...Kripa stayed back home as Dilip had said that he will accompany Avantika...Angad had a show in Puna in a week, so he was busy, but said that he would come soon...
Kripa paced restlessly waiting for Dilip and Avantika to come...It was almost 2 in the afternoon, when they finally came in...She ran to them and asked them anxiously if everything was alright...
Av: Saab thik hai beta...Bas kuch kamjori hai...Iss umr mein thodi bahot problems to hoti hi hai na sabko...Itna pareshan kyun ho rahi hai...
D: Avantika thik keh rahi hai Kripa...Doctor ne kuch dawai diye hai aur bedrest ke liye kaha hai...Thode tests kiye hai, precaution ke liye, par saab thik hai abhi...! He said smiling at Kripa, who nodded...
K: Chaliye ma, khana khakar aaram kar lijiye...Mein abhi laga deti hun...! She said going to the kitchen...She quickly served two plates and asked them to sit and eat...
Av: Tumne khaya...?
K: Mein baad mein kha lungi ma...Abhi aap baithiye...
Av: Jao, apna bhi plate le aao aur baitho...She said looking at her and Kripa after couple of seconds nodded, knowing Avantika's no nonsense look...
They all had lunch and then Kripa helped Avantika go up and made her sleep, giving her the medicines...
Avantika was asleep soon and Dilip decided to work from the home...Couple of days later they got Avantika's report...She was fine, but was given some medicines for age related problems and was asked to take rest...
Kripa made sure that Avantika took rest as needed and saw to her medications...!
Suddenly she heard Mishti's voice calling Angad from below...She frowned and looked through the bars as Angad walked in...
A: Kya hua Mishti, itni pareshan kyun lag rahi ho...? He asked frowning...But smiling in his mind, knowing very well what had happened...
M: Ye kya hai Angad...Tumne mujhe uss Shetty ka PA bana diya? She asked with disbelief...I can't believe you did this...! She said angrily...
A: Calm down Mishti...I don't need a PA anymore and you know that...Aab tumhe Job ki jaroorat hai, to mein ne socha ki tumhe de dun...Aur kaam to wahi hai jo tum pehle kar rahi thi...Bas mere badle Mr. Shetty ko help karna hai...! Itna kyun pareshan ho...? He asked with eyebrows up...
M: Common Angad...I can't take that guy...He is too much...I just can't work for him...!
A: I am sorry Mishti, phir to tumhe dusara job dhundana hoga...Aab studio mein tumhe waise bhi koi instruments nahi ati thik se...Aur gana bhi nahi ata...! But of course, it's your choice...Aab sara kaam to mein nahi kar sakta...So, mein ne usse bahot sare recommendations par hire kiya hai...! He is one of the best, but if you don't want to work with him it is your choice...Aisa karo tum job ke liye apply karna shuru kardo, mein achi recommendation dunga and I promise you will be hired in which ever institute you apply...! And don't think I am doing this because you are my friend...Nope...I am doing this because you are the best...I don't want to loose you, but it is your choice...! He said sighing and looking sad...Mishti looked down at the papers and frowned...And then slowly sighed...
M: I think I will give him a chance...Par ye sirf tumhare liye...
A: Sure...Anything else...Mein mere next show ke liye thode dhun bana raha tha...So, if this is all...I need to run...! He said hoping she would go away...
M: Mujhe bhi sunani hai tumhari nayi dhun...Waise bhi bahot din ho gaye tumhe gate hue dekhkar...If you don't mind...
A: No way Misthi...Iss studio mein mein kisi ko ane nahi deta...! They are exclusively for me...! I don't even allow my family members he said with a grin and Kripa bit her lips to keep her self from smiling...! Yeah he kept everyone away and it was true, but her...!
M: Common Angad...I am your friend...!
A: Common Mishti...Try to understand...Aab jao, waise hi bahot time waste kar liya tumne...He said grinning...!
M: mein ne tumhara time waste kiya...
A: Yes maam...He said laughing, but burning up in anger...
M: Thik hai jati hun...! She said rolling her eyes angrily and Angad chuckled...
A: Just joking Mishti...but still I need to work on this all alone...So, please...He said trying to keep his patience...
M: Whatever...! She said taking the papers and turning around...Hey one more thing...Did you find more about Kripa and Prithvi...I mean about the article...
A: Nope...I did not get time...! I tried, but I am not getting any information...!
M: If you want, I can find out more...! She said immediately and Angad frowned...
He just shrugged...He wanted to know, what she would find out and what proof she could take and where her contacts reached...!
A: Whatever...he said mimicking...
M: Ok...I will see to it...! Tum apne dhun par dyan do...! She said happily...
A: Hey Mishti, don't you think, this will affect your brother's marriage as well...!
M: I know, but as a friend, I want to help you...She said smiling and turning around with a grin and left immediately and Angad stood there with a frown and slowly looked up, where Kripa was standing with a frown...He sighed and looked down and walked to his studio, while Kripa walked down and went behind him...
K: Angad...? She asked confused as to why he let Mishti do some thing like this...
A: Kripa...I want to know till where she can reach...Josh told me that he would keep an eye on Prithvi, even though he feels that Prithvi is not involved and see if Mishti has any contacts here...!
K: I hope ki woh aur ek problem na khadi kar de Angad...! She said sighing and Angad grinned...
A: Hey, mein kis liye hun yahan...Trust me ok...! I need proof against her Kripa...! Solid proof...! He said sighing...!
K: Thik hai...Aab mujhe dhun bajakar dikhao...Angad raised his eyebrows...Wahi, jiske bare mein Mishti ko bata rahe the...! Angad chuckled...
A: Yes boss...I will start...Try to sing with me for female version...!
Kripa...Sure...she said grinning and closing the door and sitting on the huge chair...!
A: Tum mere seat par baithi ho...
K: So, I am the boss...! Aab jao aur baitho sofa par aur dhun bajao...!
Angad frowned and rolled his eyes and sat on the sofa making faces, but then chuckling...He started the music and then the song and Kripa grinned and joined in...Angad corrected her couple of times, but Kripa too made him understand that it would be more good, if they changed the tune a little and Angad agreed after a while, knowing she was correct...Together they sat for an hour or so, until the full song was ready and grinned at eachother...
K: Oh God...Tumhare iss gane ke chakkar mein to mein saab kuch bhul gayi...! She said running out of the room, while Angad just frowned and shook his head...
A: Mein ne nahi kaha tha, yahan aakar baithne ke liye...He shouted behind her and heard her chuckling and saying...I know...! He grinned and continued to his next song, while Kripa went up and saw Avantika up and reading something...She gave her couple of medicines she had to take and then bought some snacks and tea for her...
Av: Beta, aab thik hun mein...Umr ke sath ye thodi bahot takleef hoti rehti hai...! Aab meri fikr band kar aur jakar thoda samay Angad ke sath bita...!
K: Abhi tak wahin to thi ma...! She said laughing...And Avantika chuckled...
A: Kripa...! Angad shouted from below...Kripa frowned and looked at Avantika who chuckled...
Av: Ja...bula raha hai tujhe...!
K: Ji ma abhi ayi...She said getting up, when the door opened and Angad came in...
A: Kripa, I want you to come with me to my studio...! I need to do some reharsels...Abhi meri dance partner ane wali thi...! Par phone aya uske parents ka, ki uski tabiyat thik nahi hai...! Please thodi der ke liye chalo...!
K: Par Angad...
Av: Ja beta, waise bhi iska studio nahi dekha tumne...!
Kripa sighed and slowly nodded...Thik hai ma...Par Angad, thodi der baad jate hain na...Papa bhi aa jayenge tab tak...
A: Kripa mera sara group wahan wait kar raha hai...! Papa abhi ate hi honge...Lo aa gaye...Aab to khush...! Chalo...Avantika chuckled at his eagerness and Kripa blushed and nodded...
K: Mein ati hun ma...! She said and then smiled at Dilip and walked out with Angad...Angad, ye achanak meri yaad kaise aa gayi...! Agar partner nahi ayi, to kisi aur ke sath bhi to dance kar sakte ho...Aur wahan saab ke samne...? I don't even know the song or the steps...
A: Common Kripa...! Itna bhi difficult nahi hai...! Aur phir mujhe practice karna hai...! He said rolling his eyes...I can't call my dance partner in odd hours you know...Kahin aur ek Mishti na paida ho jaye...So, soch raha hun ki aab tumhe bhi dance ata hai, to kyun na odd hours mein tumhe le jaun, aur saab ke sath subah dance partner ke sath reharsels karun...He said winking...! Kripa chuckled rolling her eyes, but then twined her arms around his and hugged his arm with a smile...
K: Sure, as long as I dance with you all alone, it is perfectly fine...! She said with a grin and Angad looked at her mischiviously...They walked out and zoomed off in Angad's car...!
Soon, they reached Angad's studio and Kripa was stunned to see the huge studio, with latest instruments and recording room...
K: Vow...! This is just...! Suddenly she saw Angad locking the door and she frowned looking at him...Angad, kya kar rahe ho...? She asked suspiciously...! Angad just stared at her without a smile and walked to her and Kripa took a step behind...They kept going back, until at last Angad held her waist and pulled her to him...Angad? She asked looking at his serious face, a little frightened in the huge dim lighted studio...She slowly closed her eyes as his hands travelled around her waist and another hand around her face...! Angad...
A: Kyun daar gayi? He asked suddenly with a mocking smile and Kripa opened her eyes a little stunned...Angad looked at her face for couple of minutes and stared in her eyes and then started chuckling...Kripa, tum to aise ghabra gayi, jaise mein tumhara pati nahi lover hun, jo situation ka fayda le raha hun...He said laughing out loud...Kripa bit her lips and hit him, chuckling with him as she wiped her sweat on her forehead...You know what, I have exclusive rights on you and we stay together day and night...I can have my way, anywhere I want and this...he said looking around...is an excellent place to love eachother...He whispered with a grin, pulling her close...Kripa chuckled and pushed him back and started running...But Angad did not follow her...He slowly went to the audio station and took the remote and switched on the tape...The music began, with Angad's light voice floating in the air and Kripa stopped in her tracks...! Angad stared at her and slowly forwarded his hand to her...Kripa just stared at him and slowly walked to him...Dekha, mujhe tumhare piche bhagne ki jaroorat hi nahi padi...Meri awaj tumhe khud mere paas le ayi...He whispered holding her hands and bringing her close to him and suddenly twrilled her around as the music started in a loud bang...
He started dancing with her, taking the lead and circling her around, until she got to the pace and they started dancing together...Song after song, Angad changed his style, his steps, making her go along with him, until atlast Kripa just stopped and hugged him, trying to catch her breathe...Angad held her in his arms, as he too was tired and waited for their breathe to get even...Slowly they looked eachother and Angad kissed her lips, nibbling and biting for a long time...The parted and looked at eachother once more with a satisfied smile...
A: Promise me, you will come here with me often and dance...! I love dancing with you...! He whispered and kissed her nose...
K: Promise...She whispered looking down shyly...Aab ghar chale...? She asked and Angad shook his head...
A: I need some more practice...! He said with a wink and changed the cd...! Kripa raised her eyebrows, but grinned and gave him her hand as he bowed, with a chuckle and once again were lost in eachother...An hour turned to two and then three and they danced and danced, till their feet hurt...! At last all tired and sweaty they sat down in eachother's arms...!
It was late by the time they came home and found everyone walking up to their rooms...
P: Are Angad, kahan the tum donon itni der...Tumhara phone bhi nahi lag raha tha...
A: Sorry bhabhi...! Studio mein the...Woh music ke awaj mein shayad sunai nahi diya...!
P: Koi baat nahi...Tum log khana kha lo...Hum sone ja rahe hain...She said grinning and indicating them that they were all alone and could enjoy...
A: Sure bhabhi...! Thanks he said winking and Priya left them with chuckle, when she saw Kripa blushing...
They walked in their room and then took bath together and then walked down hand in hand...They sat there having their dinner, when Kripa frowned...
K: Angad tumne kaha tha ki tumhare team members wahan studio mein intajar kar rahe hain...!
Angad chuckled...Kripa, mere team members ko kaam dham nahi hai kya...! Woh sirf subah ate hain reharsels ke liye...Sham ko bahot log dusari jagah par bhi kaam karte hain...Thode colleges aur schools mein instruments aur dance bhi sikhate hain...! We meet for 4 hours in the morning...Uske baad mein thoda reharsels karke, apne recordings aur tapes dekhta hun, and I see where I went wrong and where I need to Improve...Note it, see that instruments are all tuned and well in order...! Phir ghar aata hun...! Kripa was amazed, but smiled with a nod...
K: Aur kya kaam rehta tha tumhe? She asked a little confused...Angad chuckled...
A: Pehle to sponsors dhundna padta tha...But after my second show I got many offers...Then I need to tell them my budget and my plans...Show dates, so they can be ready to advertise their services or things...Then I need to take look at the studios and book it...Arrange for ticket management and money collections...See that the studio has well arranged stage and contact the stage decorators for such shows and tell them the theme...See to instruments and sound systems and co-operate with the team...Then see to advertisement and publicity...See to security and safety and making arrangements with the police department...! Aur ye sirf stage shows ke liye hai...Iske aalawa, mujhe apne dhun aur mere female singer ke dhun record karne padte hain...Aur phir mere 2-3 albums bhi nikale hain, jiske shooting ke liye locations, costumes, photographers aur bahot kuch manage karna padta hai...! Kripa just stared at him totally amazed...
K: Vow...Mujhe nahi pata tha, ki itna sara kaam hota hai...!
A: I know...I too did not think...Pehle to saab handle karta tha...Last year itna busy ho gaya tha ki time hi nahi milta tha...Par tumhare an eke baad, I thought that now I need to make up a team and build a office, so I can hire few people, who would do all this work for me...!
K: Haan, ye idea acha hai...Nahi to tum inn saab kaamon mein apne reharsels ki aur dhyan hi nahi de paoge...!
A: And not to mention spending time with my life...I mean wife...He said grinning...And I wouldn't miss our dancing and singing sessions for anything...! He said chuckling and Kripa chuckled too...
They had their dinner and went up and fell asleep all exhausted after their 3 hours of dancing session...Angad's next show was in Mumbai itself in a week and it was a huge hit as well like always...His album was also released the same night, during the show and they were totally out of market that first night itself, with demand for more than they could handle...His and Kripa's sessions of reharseling and correcting the music, made a lot of difference and he himself could see the difference...Kripa was a real gem and a asset to him as well...! Avantika and Dilip too were in awe to see Angad's latest record hit demand for his cds...
Mishti though wasn't happy working with the new manager, tried to work, and knew that there was no point fighting, as Angad was right and he couldn't see through everything himself...She was waiting for the right opportunity, so she could degrade Kripa's character and totally make her comedown of Angad's eyes, so she could enter in his life without a hitch...! Angad was well aware of it and asked his manager to keep an eye on it...Mr. Shetty, got a lot of confidence from Angad, after they talked and as said, he showed Mishti where she stood and told her in not so many words, but still sternly that she could be here only if she co-operated...Mishti knew that no one would give her such a wonderful salary other than Angad, to maintain her life-style and her image and so tried to bend with the managers wishes...!
Kripa too loved Angad's latest album and had demanded his first copy with autograph, which he had given her with immense pleasure...!
Ka: And this calls for celebration...Kartik said grinning at Angad...Chal bhai, jara sath aish waish karte hain...Kitne din ho gaye...Tu to jaise joru ka gulam ho gaya hain...!
A: Common bhai, tum kya ho...Apni biwi ko khud ka PA bana liya? Aur mujhe bol rahe ho...! She is your PA less, and your boss more...She dictates and you listen and do what she says...Priya and Kripa chuckled as Aliyah grinned...
Al: I must say, you both are right...Bhai, tum donon kitna kaam karte ho, ye to hum saab ko pata chal chukka hai...! She said grinning and Angad and Kartik looked at her with a frown...!
A: Allu gobi...Kehna kya chahti hai tu...
Ka: Aur ye jo kuch humne kamaya...? Hawa mein udd kar nahi aaya...Kartik followed...
Aliyah started chuckling at them and grinned...
Al: I know bhai...Par sara kaam to tumhare biwi ke karan hi pura hota hai...She said to Kartik and then looked at Angad...Khubsurat biwi ka ek aur bhi fayda hota hai, dhun aur shabd zuban par aa jate hain...Aur waise bhi ye jo album abhi itna hit hua hai na, woh Kripa bhabhi ki wajah se...I know all about her help in it...Warna tum donon ko romance se pursat mile tab na kaam par dhyan doge...!
A: Acha...raat raat ke chatting session mein baith kar tu bhi to yahi karti hai...Uska kya...? Haan paas nahi hai woh, par kya baat hoti hai, woh hum bhi samajh sakte hain...He asked getting up with hands on his frown...Akhir humari hi behen ho...same genes, hungry for romantic nights...! He said smiling with a grin looking at Kripa with a grin...! Aliyah's mouth fell open and so did Kartik and Priya's while Kripa chuckled...Angad grinned at her and then looked at Aliyah...Aab bolti kyun ruk gayi maam...! He asked grinning...
Al: Bhaiya...! She shouted angrily and Kartik looked at Angad...
Ka: Kis ke sath chat karti hai tu Aliyah? Kaun hai woh? Kya chal raha hai tumhara...? He asked frowning...
Al: I am gonna kill you...! Aliyah said looking at Angad angrily and he smiled...
A: Tujhe kaha tha, ki jyada chapad chapad mat kar...Par nahi sunti na...So lo...aab karo batein, aaram se sunenge tumhari kahani...Romantic film version 3.0...! He said with satisfied smile...Aliyah took a big pillow and threw it on Angad angrily, while he chuckled and held it and threw it back straight on her face...Kartik looked at her angrily and threw her pillow on the sofa folding his hands...!
Ka: Aliyah, tum jawab kyun nahi deti...!
Al: Inhe saab pata hai, to inse hi puchiye...Mein kyun bataun...She said looking at Angad angrily...
D: Kya pata hai...Tu itni muh fulaye kyun khadi hai Aliyah...? Dilip asked coming in the room, while Aliyah looked at him with wide eyes alaramed...
Al: Mein abhi ati hun...She said starting to go out, when Kartik stopped her...
Ka: Ruk Aliyah...He said angrily...Aab batao, kya chal raha hai...Angad...?
Av: Are, kya hua...Hume to laga tum log party ke mood mein ho, par yahan to jhagda karne par tule ho...! She asked frowning...
Ka: mom, mujhe lagta hai ki aap ko Aliyah se puchna chahiye, ki kya woh kisi ko chahti hai...! I think she is seeing someone...! He said frowning, when Aliyah kept quite looking down biting her lips...
D: Kya? Dilip asked frowning...Aliyah? He asked immediately on alert and even Avantika looked at Aliyah with concern...
Aliyah closed her eyes and then opened and looked at her parents...Fine...Yeah, I like someone and he likes me too and we talk everyday...! Happy...She said frowning at Angad and he nodded and she made faces at him angrily...
D: Kaun hai woh? Hum milna chahte hain usse Aliyah...! Tumhare sath kaam karta hain? He asked frowning...
Al: Nahi papa, he doesn't stay here...In fact humne abhi tak sirf chat par...
Ka: What? Internet affair? He asked totally stunned...Aliyah rolled her eyes and heard Angad chuckle...
Al: Yeh jante hain usse...Infact inhi ka dost hain...! I am not into Internet affair, without even looking at the person, or knowning who he is, or how he is...! She said rolling her eyes...All eyes turned to Angad with a frown and he raised his hands...
A: No way Aliyah...You are going to tell the name of the person your self and tell if you love this guy and if he feels the same and if you want to tie the knot...! He said shaking his head with a smile and Aliyah frowned...Kyun romance ki batein to itne aaram se karti thi, saab ko live movies dikhati ho, telecast karti ho, aab kya hua...? Khud ki baat aayi to zuban band ho gayi? He said grinning...
Aliyah frowned and looked at her parents and then her brothers and sister-in-law and then sighed...Ok...Here you go...She said at last...Yes, I love him and he does too...We talk to eachother on phone regularly and his name is Josh Kapoor...! He is born and bought up in US and he is Angad and Kripa's good friend...! And you all met him when he came here...
Everyone just stared at her until Aliyah rolled her eyes...And he is soon going to talk to his parents and then talk to you all...! Happy...? She said rolling her eyes...Kripa grinned and looked at Aliyah who made faces at her...
Av: Par beta, agar ye rishta tair ho gaya, to tu states mein settle ho jayegi...? She asked stunned...Dilip too looked at his daughter with disbelief...Aliyah sighed...
Al: No mom...Kanan is going to come in couple of months as they are shifting back to Mumbai as per Nishant's moms request...Josh aur Kanan ke mom dad bhi Delhi ane ki baat kar rahe hain, shift hone ki I mean...! Unke saab family members wahin hai...! And as for Josh, he still is not sure, but he is somewhere thinking about shifting too, as I don't want to shift there...! So, we still did not decide what to do...! But he needs time to think, as it is not easy to just shift here in spur...! She said sighing and Avantika closed her eyes with relief...Hoping this happens...She did not want her daughter to be so far away from them...! Suddenly, she remembered Angad talking about some prospective groom for Aliyah...Angad, kya tum Delhi mein Josh ke bare mein baat kar rahe the...? She asked looking at him and Angad smiled and nodded...
A: Haan mom...I told you that I will tell you about it at the proper time...So, here it is...I wasn't sure about Aliyah's feelings until recently he grinned, when she accidently left her chat session open and I walked in and saw it and then talked to Josh...! But now that Aliyah her self told us...He shrugged grinning and Aliyah looked at him wide eyed...
Al: You read our chat? She asked with wide eyes...Kripa and Priya chuckled looking at her and she looked at them angrily...
A: So, how long were you thinking about continuing this...Tumhare liye papa aur Kartik rishte dhund rahe the...It was now or never sis...! So, you decide...! I did my work...And mom dad...I vouch for Josh...He is a wonderful person and well suited for Aliyah...! Mein ne aap logon ko bataya nahi tha, par mein ne Josh ko Kripa ka khayal rakhne ke liye kaha tha wahan...He considers Kripa like his sister and helped me and talked to me last year...He said smiling...I can say he is a very nice guy and so is his family...Aab age, app log jane...! He said smiling and looking at Kripa, who blushed...Dilip sighed and nodded...
D: Thik hai Angad...Agar tum kehte ho to acha hi hoga...
A: Not to mention romantic...Kyun Aliyah...He grinned remembering the chat he read and Aliyah looked at him angrily, but bit her lips and blushed...Avantika chuckled and Aliyah went to her shyly and hugged her grinning a little...
Kartik just rolled his eyes...He hit Angad on his head...Pata tha tujhe to mujhe kyun nahi bataya...! He said angrily...
A: Sorry bhai...! Galti ho gayi...Aab maaf bhi karo...Abhi to behen ko vida karna hai...We need to stand united...
Ka: Kisliye? Kaam karne ke liye? He asked rolling his eyes and Angad laughed...
A: Nope...As Aliyah said...We will continue our romance sessions, while our wife's will do the work...He said grinning and everyone burst out laughing...Kartik and Angad went to Aliyah and hugged her and so did Kripa and Priya...Dilip kissed her forehead and promised to talk with Josh and then his parents and see how it goes from there...Aliyah chuckled and ran up leaving everyone grinning...! Kripa ran behind Aliyah with a grin and entered the room, where Aliyah was looking at Josh's photo...Kripa went behind her slowly and took the photo from her hand...
K: Hmmm...aab photo se bhi baat karne lagi? She asked grinning...
Al: Kripa...! Aliyah shouted frowning...Kripa raised her eyebrows...
K: Bhabhi...! She corrected with confidence and Aliyah rolled her eyes...
Al: Whatever...! Aab meri photo do...! She said making faces and Kripa chuckled and shook her head...
K: Pehle phone lagao, inhe...Mujhe phone do, aur phir photo lo...! She said grinning and Aliyah frowned looking at her...
Al: You are the same shy girl, who did not even come out of the house with me, when we were in school...right? She asked...And Kripa nodded grinning...Kabhi mujhse ladti nahi thi, achi dost ki tarah mera sara kaam karti thi, meri sari baat manti thi, bina argument ke...Hai na...? Kripa nodded again grinning...To aab kya hua...! She asked frowning...
Kripa chuckled...Tumhare bhai ne aur not to mention inhone...she said pointing to the photo...aur tumhari hone wali nanand ne bigad diya...! She said chuckling...Aliyah looked at her with a frown for couple of seconds and they both started laughing...They hugged eachother in delight...
Al: You know what Kripa, aaj aisa lagta hai, ki sach much mujhe ek bahot achi dost mil gayi ho...Pehle tum rehti jaroor thi yahan, par humesha alag hi rehti...But today, it feels good to know that you have become one of us and I am glad to have you as my sister-in-law...She said smiling and pulling her cheeks...Kripa smiled and then looked at the phone and at Aliyah, who grinned nodding...Kripa dialed the number with a wink...! Aliyah grinned as Kripa kept the cell on the speaker and kept a hand on her lips indicating Aliyah to stay quite...
J: Kya hua darling...Itni raat ko kyun phone kiya...? Missing me...? He asked immediately from the other side and Kripa and Aliyah held their hands on their mouth to stop themselves from laughing...Common Allu...I missed you too...Kal messenger par bhi nahi ayi...! He said sighing...Aise hi tadpaogi to kal ki flight pakad ke turant aa jaunga...! Tumhara hath mangne...! He said chuckling...
K: Woh to tumhe ana hi hoga Josh...! Mama papa ne jo tumhe chai pe bulaya hai...! Kripa said grinning...
J: Allu tumhari awaj ko kya ho gaya...! Itni mithi kaab se ho gayi...! He asked grinning, knowing Kripa was on the line...!
Al: Josh...! Not fair...She said angrily and Kripa started chuckling and so did Josh...
J: Sorry dear...Haan to boliye bhabhi, kya keh rahi thi aap...? Josh said grinning and Kripa chuckled at the way he addressed her...
K: Mein bas ye keh rahi thi, ki mama papa ne aapko chai par bulaya hai...Aap se puch tach jo karni hai...Hum apni beti ko aise hi vida nahi karenge...! She said grinning...
J: Uske liye to unhe intajar karna hoga...Ye to Angad ki wajah se humari pol khul gayi, nahi to...
K: Nahi to agle mahine tak Aliyah ki vidai kahin aur ho jati...! She said rolling her eyes and Josh frowned...
J: What...?
K: Agar Angad nahi batata, to papa ke paas kayin rishte aye hain, jo woh aur ma consider kar rahe the...! Aur agar aur late karoge, to...
J: Hey, I am depending on you guys...I swear, donon ko jaan se maar dunga, agar Aliyah ka hath kisi aur ke hath de diya to...! Aliyah blushed and Kripa chuckled...
K: Don't worry Josh...We will wait...! Tum apne mama papa se baat karo aur phir yahan Papa se bhi baat karna...Warna...
J: OK...OK...Got the message ladies...! Aab aap Aliyah ko kuch bolne denge...Roj to itna bolti hai aur aaj...!
K: Aaj Angad ne sara kasar uttar diya, issiliye...She said chuckling, while Aliyah hit her and pushed her out of the door and closed it behind her...Kripa grinned and turned around just to hit on huge wall of chest and before she could loose her balance, his hand came and steadied her...Kripa opened her eyes sighing with relief and tehn looked up at Angad, who was holding her with a grin...! Kripa blushed and looked at him...
A: Aab Aliyah ko to uske raste bhej diya...Aab tum kahan bhagogi...! He said grinning...
Al: Of course bhai, aapke sath...! Aliyah said grinning from behind, from the door way...!
A: Teri to...! He said starting to hit her, when she chuckled and closed the door...Angad rolled his eyes and looked at Kripa who was chuckling...He grinned and pulled her in their room and closed the door, trapping Kripa there...
K: Angad...Kya kar rahe ho...! She asked chuckling...!
A: Abhi pata chal jayega, he said grinning and bending down ...He slowly kissed her shoulder bitting it slowly and Kripa closed her eyes...
K: Angad...! Angad just continued and tortured her standing there, until Kripa pushed him and went to the other side of the room, breathing heavily...But again Angad took her in his arms and pushed her down on the bed and had his own way, making Kripa wither under him...!
