Four Months till Neal's death.
Time has passed so quickly that it didn't feel like four months passing but four weeks. And they have moved on... Kripa graduated from law and Music, she managed to pass both exams. Neal, he was always there with her no matter how much she tries to move ahead with her life, she would always see him. Why not? All her life was spent by him, those happy moments, sad moments all were fresh in her memory.
Angad? Life could not be much easier with kripa by his side. But they still had one thing to do one thing cancel call out his so called engagement with Louise. Time was short at that time when both kripa and Kartik tried to help him but no Louise was always one step ahead in her plan. There was no way he could marry her yet thankfully after one week of their engagement she had to leave immediately to French. He was still worried for her? She still had guilt written somewhere in her, he persuaded her to date again but she'd refuse all the time. There was a tiny hope when this engagement happened someone spilled the beans that Angad was already engaged to kripa infact purposed to her in front of everyone. At that moment he thanked Neal for it. But this was blown away when Louise somehow bribed the person and made it admit in front of everyone it was lie. People still had doubts as they seen in front of their eyes. After graduating from college he is now in due to release his own first album with their own company.
"Red or Black?" he asked into the phone.
"Angad, seriously you need to hire a personal nanny to help you get ready or Angad sitter!"
"Kripa!"
"What? Isn't it true?"
"Do you want to help or not?" he asked finally with irritation dropping from his voice.
"NO!" she said.
"Fine!" he threw the phone onto the bed, mimicked her saying. Why is it so difficult to select outfits for some event? He knew he didn't need any hard work to impress anyone but he was a celebrity, everything matters! He knew he had a style but he can't help admitting kripa's choice was so perfect. Thirty minutes to the event, he groaned as he looked at his messy cupboard. "Why can't I be responsible?" he mumbled to himself.
"That's why people say behind every success there's a hand of woman!" a voice said behind from him. He turned to find kripa standing there with a smile on her face; she was looking dashing in black backless saree. His mouth dropped open, since when did she start wearing saree?
Kripa grinned, walked up to him, "There's no one to convince that you find me Hot!" she said closing his mouth and than patting his cheek. He frowned.
"Why are you here?"
"I thought you wanted me or I can very well leave!"
"No!" he said immediately, "we are getting late, we only 25 minutes!"
"Not we, you! Since when did you start caring for the time, aren't we doing usual guest LATE entrance?"
"Mom will kill me; she wants everything perfect for the even and now help me!"
"Here" she said handing him a bag. Angad looked at it confused, "I got us matching clothes!" He gave her a quick kiss on cheek and hurried into bathroom. Kripa sighed wondering when he would change. Four minutes after he came out fully dressed in black tuxedo with open tie around his neck. She pressed her lips to hide her smile, as he quickly brushed his hair and then set it back into his usual style. And then walked back to her, she sighed as she knotted tie for him. "Your mom is right, you do need to get married soon and I don't mind if you get married to Louise, she's better choice for you!"
"In that case why don't you marry Prithiv, since he's all over you?"
"I am not getting married soon, so don't even dream about me getting married"
She was so stubborn, he thought as they got in his car. Kripa wanted a big break from everything so did no work till now. Although offers came running to her she refused or say she'll think about it. They were from both Music industry and law but mostly music. "How are you feeling?" kripa asked?
"About what?"
"Your own album releasing today!"
"I don't know kripa; I am happy but nervous too! After all after this I am going to be so wanted that means more work!" kripa nodded.
As they walked towards the building, kripa suddenly stopped. "What's wrong?" he asked. "We're not going together, what will your mom think?"
Angad rolled his eyes at her and draped an arm around hers, "I don't care what the world cares, you promised to be there with me everything. And if you think about breaking it I swear I'd haunt you down in your dreams!"
"Aww that's so sweet. Thank you" she said, placing a kiss on her face.
Doors opened, cameras clicked from every single taking the picture of them. Kartik came in and made the way for them to go through. From the stage, Naina frowned to see kripa there. She was always there seeking the attention from Angad.
As they walked down the aisle, kripa stopped as they reached the stage nodded Angad to go on. Instead he narrowed his eyes at her made her walk all the way through the stage. Naina smiled towards the audience and then them two. She greeted Angad by hugging and then whispering, "I told you not to bring her here!" Angad smiled and said, "Good evening Mom" Naina smiled and greeted kripa by giving her quick hug and then leaving her. Kripa knew she was not happy. They took their seats. As Naina announced his Name, he walked with style to the podium with one hand on his pocket. He kissed her once again on her cheek and received his signed CD that was on velvet cushion. At that instant lights went off, behind them a projector screened them showing Angad's new signed album. He smiled as audience clapped and cameras clicked from everywhere.
"Thank you everyone" he said, his voice echoing everywhere in the hall. "I'd like to Thank all for supporting me through out my first concert"
"From where were you inspired to learn music?" one of the reporters asked.
He smiled, "Well I was inspired from my child hood to learn the music. And since now I am learning music"
"Behind every man there is a hand of woman, is there any in your case?"
He smiled once again and looked through the audience where cameras clicked everywhere, everyone waited for his response. "It's true; there is hand of lady behind my success and infact she's here"
Kripa's eyes widened as she knew what he is going to do. He continued, "Well Of course my mom is behind as she has helped me through out my life achieve where I am. Isn't that what you wanted to mom?" Naina smiled towards the audience and once again cameras clicked taking Mother and son picture. Kripa sighed in relief but then her breath stopped, "But I am sure most of you are eager to hear name of that special woman who are expect my parents' of course!" The crowed cheered, "Yes there is one lady who helped to get here where I am. And yes you all know her; the person I am talking about is very special and close to my heart." Kripa looked at Angad with wide eyes praying he'd not say her name while Naina prayed same but had different intentions. He laughed, "I bet all of you are eager to hear the name? Well let's see……………. Please welcome Kripa Sharma, the only special person I was talking about!"
The spotlight hit her where she was sitting with shocked expression on her face but then quickly covered with a pleasant smile. She smiled towards the audience. Another spot light hit Angad, as he walked towards her and draped his arms around her. Cameras clicked again taking their pictures, they both smiled towards the camera. "What's the need of this?" she said through gritted teeth. "Sweet heart I knew you liked it? How was the surprise?" he said once again surprising her by giving her a kiss on her cheeks. "Surprise? I am going to be dead by tomorrow headlines!"
"What's the relationship between you two? Aren't you engaged to Louise?" some one asked.
"Can't a friend have a hand behind their friends' success? I and kripa are best friends!"
"Didn't you purpose to her before?" a reporter asked
"Hem Hem" A loud cough caught all people's attention. She smiled and gracefully walked to the stage. She stood between kripa and Angad now. "I thought I made it clear" she said towards the audience, "It was someone doings to create misunderstanding between us. Well let me tell you all me, kripa and Angad are best friends we don't have any problems then why should you?"
From the corner of stage Naina smiled as the girl knew how to handle the press. Louise put an arm around his and smiled towards the audience, "Infact we are about to give you another big surprise" Angad and kripa looked at her shocked as she continued to smile. "A week from today we will be getting married, exactly on Sunday!" Angad looked at her shocked as crowd break into huge applause and cameras clicked everywhere.
