Pyaar Ka Pal: Part 3
Kripa and Anagd walk in the parking in silence. Finally they stop in front of Kripa's car. Kripa sits on the bonnet while Angad stands in front of her. "Three years Angad, where have you been?"
Angad sits down beside Kripa handing his coat on his arm, "Main tho bas yahie tha, just a little busy."
"Itna busy ki humko bhool he gya?"
"Well, so much happened in these three years, I couldn't remember anything, I was in France Kripa."
"France? All of a sudden?""Kripa, I wanted to be away from London, so much happened here that I started hating this city, almost started blaming it for ever mishap in my life. I decided to move, and it was France. Actually first I moved to Germany, but I couldn't learn the language so I decided to move to France because I took French as a foreign language." Kirpa sat there looking at Angad with warmth her in her eyes. "Kripa, it's me only talking your so quite, what's wrong?"
Kirpa shakes out of her thoughts and smiles, "Well seems like you have had an interesting life!" Angad smiles faintly and looks down. Kripa notices that he didn't like her last comment. Angad had always been a reserved person, specially around most girls. He was always into himself and his studies, he never had a social life in high school or in college. Angad had always been a senior to Kripa, 3 years older to her. When Kripa entered High School as a freshman, Angad was a junior at the time. Kripa had Math and Science with him because these subjects were her forte. She was taking A.P. Biology, and A.P Pre-Cal. Kripa had fallen for Angad's looks, his simplicity, and the fact he was so well behaved around girls unlike most guys at the time, pulled Kripa to Angad. And luckily she sat next to him in Pre-Cal and was assigned a project with him in Biology. Angad on the other hand only looked at Kripa as a very good friend. He never thought about her as his girlfriend. As Kripa got to know Angad better she found out that he was so reserved because his mother had died when he was 3, and his father never had time for him, very much like Kripa. But during college he started to live with his Dadi which brought a change in his behavior, but not drastically. Kripa could relate to Angad when it came to there "Parental-Behavior" life. When Kripa became a senior she contacted Angad once again to ask his help in applying for college. At that time Angad was finishing his 3rd years at London University, and Angad hadn't seen Kripa in almost two years, the reason he never told Kripa. When Angad saw Kripa after 2 years he was taken by her new look, she looked mature, and he felt differently for her. But he never realized it was love, he hasn't till today. Kripa wanted to stay close to Angad, so for the first four years of college she applied to London University and was accepted! Angad left after one year and Kripa was left alone once again and didn't hear from him for 3 years. And now after three years they sat beside each other once again.
Angad snapped his figures in front of Kripa's face and she shook out of her thoughts, "Kripa you here?!"
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry!"
"It's ok!"
"So Angad, what brings you here after such a long time?" Angad titled his head a little and looked at Kripa. "Kya hua Angad?"
"You Don't seem too happy to see me!"
'You don't know how happy I am to see you' though Kripa.
"Hey, tum phir sa kahie kho gyi? I was kidding yaar, well I've actually been back in London for one year now…" before Angad could continue Kripa cuts him off.
"You have been in London for one full year and haven't contacted me once?"
"I'm sorry Kripa, my Dadi was starting to fall sick so I decided to stay with her, I moved my company to London, leaving five percent of it in France!"
"Cool! What type company?"
"Well I'm sure you have some of my companies' diamonds!"
"How fun! Diamonds!"
"Yes! Diamonds!"
"What the company called?""Dreamz, We Read A Women Heart"
"That beautiful Angad!"
"Why Thank you!"
"Ok meri choro, you tell me Kripa what's up with you?"
"Well! Sayda kuch nahie. I just received a letter this morning conforming I have been admitted in Oxford!"
"Congrats"
"Thanks" There conversation took a short halt, and Kirpa hugged herself, while a zillion Goosebumps formed on her arms. Angad looked at her and wrapped his jacket around her. Kripa smiled at him, and just dazed at him for a moment when her eyes met Angad's. But before anything could happen, any emotion could be born within them Angad looks away and so does Kripa. While Kripa smiled to herself, Angad wiped a tear from the corner of his eye.
"Kripa, we should go back, other wise your parents will wonder where you are?" Kripa smiles and they head back in to the beautiful ball room. They are about to enter the ballroom when Angad holds Kripa's hand.
"Kya hua Angad?"
"Kripa, meri jacket!"
"Oh! Thanks!" Kripa takes her jacket off and Angad slips it on him. And they both head inside. As soon as Kripa enters her mom spots her and takes her away, leaving Angad behind, as her mom took her by the hand Kripa's gaze didn't leave Angad's and Angad's eyes didn't leave her, and at this point something happened in both there souls, yet at the same they didn't know what, and if they did, they were not yet ready to accept it. Angad is still looking at Kripa when Josh creeps up behind him and gives him a tight slap on the back and Aaliya stands next to him as well. Angad remembers Josh and Aaliya. The three didn't know each other too well, but they knew each other enough to sit down and enjoy a small conversation. And that exactly what they did, while Kripa got busy with the guests, Josh, Aaliya, and Anagd sat at a table on the corner and enjoyed a small conversation, until Josh had to leave for some time. Aaliya turns to Angad and looks at him. Aaliya knew Angad just as well as she knew Kripa, even though Angad hasn't realize this. Aaliya is about to talk to Angad when Kripa arrives there and sits across Angad is Josh's spot, and Aaliya was forced to shut-up. Someone walks up to Anagd and he stands up and talks to the man for some time while Kripa turns to Aaliya.
"Aaliya, lets have a sleepover?"
"Wow, Kripa itna dino ka baad! It's not a bad idea!"
"So your coming?"
"Duh!"
"Great!" Angad sat down again and Kripa ended the conversation right there. The affair is soon over, Josh drops Aaliya to Kripa's place as they both know Angad and Kripa would like to share some moments. And so it happens. Angad walks Kripa to her car, they walk back, with Angad's jacket around Kirpa once again. Angad opens the door for Kripa, she stand inside the door while Angad stands on the other side on the door.
"We will meet again rite? Yah phir sa ghum hona ka irada hai?"
"Of course we will meat! In fact, I will happily agree to help you move into your dorm!"
"Really! How sweet!"
"Well see you soon then!" Kripa is about to sit down when Angad calls her back. "Kripa."
"Yes Angad?"
"Can we have lunch together tomorrow?"
Kripa can't help smiling and with the most happy voice ever she says "YES!"
"Well then 12 sharp! How about Hard Rock caf?"
"Sure! See you tomorrow!" Kripa sits down and Angad closes the door for her. Angad stands there until he can no longer see Kripa's car and then he heads back to his car.
Kripa enters her room in dream world and doesn't notice Aaliya changed into her night suit laying on her bed reading. Kripa opens her closet and takes out a pair of pajamas and a night shirt and walks into the bathroom to change. Aaliya just sits there in disbelief.
Angad on the other hand enters his house, and walks into her bathroom, quickly changes into his night suit and sits on the bed his thought drifting back to Kripa and her charming eyes, and her warm smile. Angad sat up in his bed and ran his hands thought his hair and then walked got up and walked to his Dadi's bedroom to check if she had already slept. And just like he has expected she was fast asleep with a book on her stomach. Angad puts the book away and closes the light, he wraps a warm quilt around her, and kisses her good night. He heads back to his room and tries to sleep. And after a lot of tossing and turning he does fall asleep.
On the other hand there sits Aaliya inquiring Kripa and her moments with Angad tonight like an FBI agent, and Kripa answered them all with full honesty. The only question Aaliya didn't ask her the one question, does she love Angad for two reasons. First, she didn't know for herself and second this question was edgy and could create a small argument. And that's the last thing Aaliya wanted! After along topic discussion they both go to sleep around 3 A.M.
