She got changed quickly and walked to her house.
Shge had gone home and her mothers state at her being missing just for the night had melted her heart, she couldn't bear to think what would happen to her if she left for good.
So you may think that she had decided to live, but no! Kripa loved her mother but she knew that she could not bear this burden much longer. The burden of life.
She was going to live yes, but only for the next three months. After these three months, Armaan would be coming here and since he has nothing to keep him in either India or London, he would stay when the news of my death came. She could leave him a note to say to so so as well! He wouldn't-couldn't refuse!
Kripa had found out that Angad had left for America with only a posted letter to his family. Khanna uncle had told her thinking that she must know what could explain this sudden and bizare action of Angad's. He always was a spontaneous, head-first rebel but this was a bit too much, even for Angad. She had feigned shock and murmured excuses over the phone but she knew, well, if she had known the real Angad at all, the reason for this was her. It was not her fault, not in any way, but she still found herself praying that he is okay in America wherever he is. She always, scolded herself not to as he didn't even think of telling her and she didn't even know where in America but still, she prayed. But of course, she never asked Khanna uncle where or what his number was. She was not that foolish. And anyway, she didn't think that she had the courage to.
She left her thoughts of Angad and forcefully dragged her mind away to think of the coming of Armaan the day after. If anybody knew how to cheer her up besides Angad, it was Armaan. They were closer than brother and sister and they bickered a lot too, but never as much as Angad and Riddhima. Poor Armaan, she thought, he had lost both his parents when he was 13. Too young to take care of himself, but not young enough to forget everything and remain undisturbed by what had happened. Yet he still remained happy. As soon as he was 18, he went back to india and lived in the house where his parents and him once lived as a happy family. It was not as if he didn't enjoy living with Kripa and her mother but it was something else. He had never really told anybody why but he seemed happy there.
Oh no! Kripa thought, I am going to be the one to drag him away from there. I am so sorry Armaan, I hate to put my responsibilities on you but I cannot go on! The burden of guilt just got a lot heavier for Kripa and she hated herself for being selfish but there was no other way around it.
Suddenly her stomach started to match the moves of the waves and nausea was too much for her to bear! She ran and threw up into the sea.
What more could possibly go wrong in the poor girl's life?
