PART 9
It was a beautiful night. No moon, but a lot of stars twinkling above dem. The setting was perfect, music was jst wat was needed, nt 2 fast, nt too slow either. It was d music her grandparents liked, nd her parents liked, most of all d arms around her were sensual nd comforting at d same time. She was dancing wid angad, jst 2 of dem, under d stars.
Dey were nt 2 close, yet so close dat she cud feel his heart beat, his breath on her neck. His eyes were twin black pools in which she was drowning, she wanted dis moment 2 go on forever, nothing nd no 1 shud break dis spell.
"kripa..." she heard d faint voice, bt angad's lips were nt moving, oh dey were moving, oh dey were moving alrite on her neck, bt he never spoke, "kripa..." reality intruded, she opened her eyes.
Angad was in d private ward, he had finally regained consciousness after a day, nd he was calling her.
"angad, i m here, beside u love." She didn't realise dat she had said love.
Angad was dreaming surely kripa wasn't here, nd if she was she wudnt hav called him, her love. Slowly as if he 2 was afraid of breaking d spell, he opened his eyes, nd found kripa, holding his hand nd whispering sweet nothings. D smell was of hospital, white bedspread, green curtains, the only sweet presence was of kripa, slowly all came bak.
2 days b4
He was returning to Mumbai after his show in pune. Everything was going fine, his show earlier 2 day had been a hit, fans had gone crazy, he wanted 2 tell dem abt kripa, bt he hadn't. his plan 2 bewilder kripa by nt calling bak was working very well, she had called hundreds of times, nd he had nt returned ne of d calls, Kripa made him do seriously weird things. Though he was worried 2, abt y she needed 2 call him all of a sudden, he was certainly nt one of her fav ppl, indeed he was on her hit list. Bt he wud reach Mumbai in 2 hours, den see wat she has 2 say. She wud b furious, bt he liked d fact dat calm, controlled kripa reacted 2 his teasing. he noticed dere has been an accident on d highway, which has blocked most of d road. Apparently no 1 was injured, both d drivers were safe. So he stopped his car, nd called d services abt it. He was wondering wat 2 do, in d mean time. Shud he call kripa now, bt no face to face confrontation wud b more enjoyable. More cars were stopping behind him, suddenly d car behind him hit his car, nd his car hit d wreck in d front of him.
"here sum1 is trapped here." He cud hear d voices, y cant dey let him rest. It always happens wen he is sleeping sum1 or other disturbs.
"pulse...lets get him out of here." No no, let me be, after dat everything was black again.
Bt now though it felt like dere was sand in his eyes, yet it felt gud, he cud smell kripa's floral perfume, nd sumthing more, her, which reassured him she was nearby nd he went to sleep again.
After dat he regained consciousness many times during d night, nd everytime kripa was dere, soothing him, giving him water.
Finally wen d morning came kripa's head was resting on dere joint hands, nd angad finally fully conscious, was watching her wid reverent eyes. He cannot remember a time wen he had fallen ill nd sum1 was dere 2 take care of him. So he had gone on wid his life nd becum self reliant. Bt kripa has changed dat in a week, now he was totally dependent on her, nt only for her care bt he also craved her love. He has never been loved in his life. Sure women had cum nd gone, bt dey were all attracted 2 either his looks, or his status or his money. He had never kidded himself wid d fantasy dat dey wud b interested in him. Bt wid kripa it was different. She hated his guts, nd told him she do so on his face. He loved her integrity, her inner strength, as much he loved her looks may b more. Dat first time wen he has kissed her, he has known dat dere was a connection between d 2 of dem, bt he haven't known den, dat he was tied to her nt only physically bt mentally 2. His soul was linked 2 hers. He loved her period, nd now he has 2 make kripa realise dat dey were made for each other, dey belong together now nd forever.
"oh gud morning mr khanna i see u r awake." Doc came at dat moment, kripa woke up hearing doc's voice. She opened her eyes to find angad staring at her wid sumthing new in his eyes dat she cudnt quite identify. Dey were teasing, d ever present devility was also dere, bt sumthing more, sumthing deep, dat was drawing her 2 him, if doc hadn't cleared his throat den, she had no doubt dey wud b kissing, nd den ne doubts abt dere marriage wud hav vanished, kripa thot wryly.
"mrs khanna." The intensity in angad's eyes has increased sumwat wen doc said dat, which was unnerving. She hadn't told him, well she hasn't exactly got an opportunity 2 do so.
"sorry dr mehra i fell asleep."
"it was a long nite, i hav checked his vitals everything is fine, or as fine as can b after d surgery. He can go home tomm. Bt bed rest for a week, nd.."he looked at angad,"mr khanna dere r reporters outside, demanding sum sort of statement, though d hospital has handled everything so far, bt i thot u wud like 2 noe."
"thanx dr mehra, i appreciate. If d hospital authority can handle for a day more i wud b grateful."
"no probs, cu in d evening. Nd i must say u r lucky." He said looking at kripa,"mrs khanna has been driving us all out of our minds, so we r nt so lucky i guess."
"i m lucky, bt don't worry doc, now i m awake, u will nt suffer." He said smiling.
