PART 15

"we r going to my farm house, where we will b married."

He has timed his statement of fact well, dey reached d farm house jst as krips was gearing up 2 let off her steam on him. He smiled at how cute krips looked wen she was flustered nd confused. He cannot think of ne time in his life wen he has enjoyed being wid a person more den he did wid krips, whether she was sulking or smiling or laughing wholeheartedly, which she didn't often bt he intended 2 make sure she did dat on a regular basis frm now on.

While angad was thinking of ways to woo krips nd krips was planning his downfall dey didn't notice a blue sedan parked discreetly beside d farm.

Angad felt d hair at his nape stand, bt he had many different things on his mind all of dem abt krips nd didn't notice nething out of order. He got down frm d car, nd went 2 open krips door, bt she was already out nd letting dose damn goats out. He still cant believe it dat he had let her play such a trick on him. Bt he can seldom refuse krips nething, except her freedom. Sumtimes at nite he felt guilty, dat he was behaving like an overbearing jerk, bt den a life without her he cannot visualise. Funny only a week ago he was happy wid his life. Music nd a lots of different gals, no one he wanna spend his life wid, bt still good fun. Bt now all he cud think abt was krips, her smile, her caring attitude, even her family. Though her lips, her legs, her cupid bow mouth as her father called it were nt far frm his mind 2. As he remembered her father another stab of guilt hit him. He jst cannot understand how can he be smiling remembering her lips one minute nd frowning remembering her father nxt. nd guilt was nt his only prob she had a whole mob of supporters, which he hav 2 avoid nd keep krips away frm dem, if dere was ne chance of winning her heart by d end of d month which has becum his life's motive, bcoz nething else is jst nt acceptable.

While he was deep in thot he didn't notice pyari chewing d lapels of his pants. By d time he did it was too late, not only were his pants damp bt pyari was rubbing herself against him 2 nd ram was glaring at him as it was sumhow his fault. krips was nowhere 2 b seen. Normally he was good wid animals, he liked dogs, big brown ones, well he was nt very imaginative forgive him for nt liking d fluffy ones, nd he adored horses, bt farm animals were a totally different agenda.

Krips had let ram pyari out of d car, nd was going 2 ask where 2 move dem, bt found angad lost in thot. So she had left dem outside nd wandered in 2 see her wedding arrangements. The farm was like a dream cuming true. It was surrounded by large imposing trees giving it a solitary feel, everywhaere she looked dere were flowers, nd she noticed a herb farm 2. Wen she went inside she was blissfully surprised. Frm wat she had seen now, she cannot believe it was angad's work at all, he was jst nt in marriage stuff, nd white drapes gracing d stairs were so out of angad's range of thots. water lilies appeared a out of world choice bt d purple blooms in water bowls sure added a lot of hominess to a whole lot of white. Wherever her eyes went she saw white, white drapes, white cake, she wondered was it vanilla or was it fresh fruit. All dat white was making her nervous, she was wondering who was behind all dis wen a woman came out half running half walking nd hugged angad who had appeared beside her nd who looked jst as dumbstruck as she did, so she was rite, not his work after all.den she saw sumthing on his face she had thot he was nt capable of feeling, tenderness, nd a smile dat reached his eyes, so dat dey appeared like shining beacons. Krips felt a pang sumwere in d region near her heart. In dat moment he looked every girls dream cum true.

D women was abt 60 years of age, her hair were brown, wid a few white patches, dat only intensified her motherly aura. She was plumb dressed in a simple pink lucknavi chicken suit (its a kind of work done in lucknow, India.)the smile on her face was bewitching nd she found dat she was smiling 2.

Angad came wid d lady 2 her, "nana she is kripa, kripa Sharma, my fiance." Nana glared at him, nd krips heart fell, "i noe i noe i shud hav brought her b4, bt i was sure u will love her."

Krips dutifully touched her feet nd den impulsively hugged her. Nana was delighted, she hugged her back nd if she was nt mistaken kissed her hair. Wen dey came apart both were smiling.

Angad was delighted, d two women who mattered most in his life loved each other on first sight, "krips she is nana, mrs. Maria D'souza. She is d housekeeper nd d most important woman in my life."

"mrs. D'souza, glad to meet u."

"nana...call me nana."

"call me krips, dat is wat all dose r close 2 me call me." She said wid a pointed glare towards angad which angad steadfastly ignored.

"kk, krips lets get 2 work. I kept ur dress in d first bedroom on left upstairs, freshen up change nd b here in..."she looked at her watch, which had a cute mickey mouse dial, "an hour....one of my grandkids gave it 2 me on Christmas." She said wid a smile. She had felt krips looking at her watch.

"d wedding will be at 11:45, nd its 10:30 now, so hurry up. Angad u noe where ur clothes r."

" Krips if u need nething jst call me. I noe u must b missing ur family, sumtimes angad is jst so senseless." she said 2 krips after angad had left.

Krips went 2 d room nana has mentioned. D dress was a divine strapless white creation, the bodice was beautifully embroideried, nd d veil was of sheer lace. Krips took a shower nd was getting dressed, wen nana came in2 d room.

"kripa, angad gave me dis." Dis was a delicate chain, wid pairs of diamond at regular interval, wid dem were matching earings and brooch, nd dey went perfectly wid d dress. Dis was so nt how she has imagined dis charade dress wud b. Krips was feeling sth which she doesn't want 2 analyse.

As she began 2 descend stairs, her gaze caught angad's nd everything else went out of focus. He was wearing a black tux, it fit him as if it were made for him, which probably it was. It perfectly spanned his chest nd accommodated his broad shoulders. Though she wud hav liked him in sherwani more, bt den she thought d man was born 2 wear tux. most compelling were his eyes, those obsidian black depths looked like dey cud see through 2 her soul, which made her uneasy nd she brought d contact. D wedding passed in a whirl, dey said dere i dos, both wid same conviction nd love bt only 1 knew dat dey had made a lifelong commitement which cannot b broken.

None of dem noticed a man in workman clothes watching d ceremony wid clinical coldness in his eyes.
