Thanks johnangad! Is Angad having an affair with Mishti? Seems that way, doesnt it? Who says heros cannot stray, they are humans after all. 😉 Abby's truth will come out soon in a court of justice, finally after 50 yrs!

Kripa and Mrs Reed are on a mission to solve Abby's death mystery. Danger is present everywhere, she has to recognize it.

Thanks ritika!
Yes, Angad is behaving strangely, is he having an affair? Its possible that Adrian wrote those words but Abby might have planned to confront him finally. Maybe thats why she was killed?

angad always thinking abt their baby🤣
did mrs reed tell her about the jobs??
how did she know abby would be in the window?
omggg it hink angad will stay coming home late now...and kripa will experience more hauntings!
why did the lady start being nice ater tlaking to mrs reed?
how does abby know whats going on if her spirit is always in the house?? like how did she know the case was reopened?
awwww i felt so sad reading about the last diary :(
omggg is it abbys odor in the house?? i guess shes just reminding kripa that shes still there...or is she angry that kripa read her diary?
omgggg the blood :O i guess abbys trying to tell ehr about her miscarriage now!
omggg shes running with the knife log kya socheinge 🤣
i eel like having fish and chips now :P
peggy is so sweet :)
omggg people always mention that shes pale as a GHOST infront of her🤣
but i dont like peggys husband!
why doesnt kripa call mrs reed and talk to her?
omgg i guess angad will find out too about the reopening of the case...and he will be angry?

kripa left the door open??? what if someone got in?
did kripa leave the knife there?
angad is mean :( kripa should be his first priority!
how long did kripa wait at the shack?
i wonder whats wrong with angad? hes becoming more n more like adrian!
its either adrian or charlotte who killed her! or msot likely the aunt! cont soon!

Thanks Hinnu!
Kripa just arrived in the country, she doesnt have green card so she needs to wait for a work permit to begin official work. She can work without pay so shes doing that, like volunteer work. Kripa needs to get away from that house all day. she feels weird there. Abby is always at the window watching when they leave.
Mrs Reed is well known and respected by all in town so her recommendation gave Kripa that job.
Yeah I know Mothers Day in UK is in March. I love fish and chips too, its such a typical British food, I had that when we stopped at London last year. 😆
abby is a ghost, she heard Kripa talk to Mrs. Reed, plus spirits know everything, theyre not fixed to one place. 😆
Adrian's aunt had left the house before Abby died. Abby couldnt stand her anymore.

Awesome update.....

I am so glad Kripa is getting out & doing something....

I couldn't imagine her living there all by herself...

Something is up with Angad....I really hope he won't betray Kripa...

Hmm...so Abby was definitely murdered......now have to find out who did it.....

This is too good....

Pls continue soon
Thanks for the PM....

Hope you are keeping well......

Thanks Shelina!
Yes, Kripa is making her time useful and pleasant by doing volunteer work.
Angad is acting fishy, lets hope he doesnt turn out like Adrian. Abby's murder will be solved soon...

since she came to this place..and angad don't even support her
about abby's murder i don't think adrian killed her...maybe his aunt or someone else..maybe someone who is still alive...who knows(except u pallavi bcoz its your storry lol)</font>

Thanks Nadia!
Angad doesnt take her terrors seriously, he doesnt understand how terrified she is of her haunting experiences.
Abby's aunt had left the house soon after the miscarriage. She wasnt there when Abby died...

I wonder if Adrian or his aunt alive??!!

what is the use of knowing the truth behind the death.. it had been 50yrs that poor Abby passed away.

I'm still worried if any developments made between Misthy and Angad. Hope, the rough nights were not the reflection of his mental status/guilt!!

what is next step?

Thanks vallu!
Adrian died a few yrs after Abby in a boating accident. He did marry Charlotte after Abby's death.
Finding the truth abt Abbys death is important as that may give peace to her restless spirit thats haunting the house for 50 yrs.
You may be right abt the guilt in Angad's heart.

nyways i am curious as to know how does Ms.Read (or w*e her name is) know sooo much about abby and her relationship....amyb she has something to do with the case (lol at first i thought she might be the aunt, but i dunno mayb im wrong)
i also am curious about peggy, i dunno why but i am lol

now with angad's late and rough nights, i think something is wrong, maybe he is pleasing mishty more than working :S

please cont realll sooon i cant wait to find out about why angad is acting the way he is. (lol i am curious abt that more than abby's case now lol)
plz plz plz :(

Thanks Sahr!
Its spelled Suspicion with a c.... 😃
Mrs. Reed (Victoria) has always been obsessed with Abby's story. Abby is the town's ghostly legend, Mrs Reed heard abt her death as a kid. Abby died 50 yrs ago, Mrs Reed is around 60-ish.
Aunt and Adrian are both dead. Only survivor is the detective Brody.
Ur right abt Angad, hes pleasing Mishti on all those late nights. The question is how and to what extent would he go to please her?

Angad was satisfied that Kripa was being active and busy in her job. Guess his reaction when he finds out abt Kripa's involvement in Abby's case...

she started volunteering for the work..n dropped by at mrs reeds too..

she read abby's diary..n was so engrossed in it she didn't realize the time..lol..but that mst hv been freaky..so abby wanted to confront her husband..

Kripa went home..but she heard noises..n saw blood in the bathroom..omg..n she ran away from there..she met peggy..n it was easy talkin to her..sweet!..

she accompained her home..n told her itll be okay..angad came home..n she ran into his arms..

so she decided to stay at frankie's till angad came home..n sometimes he used to come really late..thats not nice..

so abby had taken a break..she didn't haunt her anymore..good!..

angad seemed totally rough..i wonder whats up..

mrs.reed told her that abby was murdered..but how will they find out who did it?..

update soon

-aish

Thanks Aish!
Yeah, the story is kind of freaky!
Angad's lateness is suspicious. He cant be working all that time.
There is only one survivor who knows the truth....Sergeant Brody.

A little recap: Adrian married Charlotte a year after Abby's death. A few years later, he was out fishing on the bay when his boat got caught in a storm and he died on the sea. Charlotte survived him and probably remarried.
Adrian's aunt left the house soon after Abby's miscarriage so she wasnt home the night Abby died.

THE GHOST AND MRS. KHANNA….PART 15

2 weeks later, Kripa suddenly got a phone call from Mrs. Reed: Khripa! I have some great news! They dug up Abby yesterday.
Really? Kripa jumped up in nervous excitement. What did they find?
Guess what? You were right! They found a hairline fracture on her skull bone. She had been hit with something heavy from the back! And her death had probably been caused by that blow, not due to hanging…because it cracked her skull….
Kripa felt cold and shivery all over! So that's what Abby has been trying to communicate all along….that she was killed…that it wasn't suicide! Now they would have to find out who did it! Was it Adrian or someone else……???? Why did Adrian lie to the cops? Why would he lie unless….he was the one who killed her?

Kripa was in two minds, she was glad that the truth was finally coming out, yet fearful about what other horrible secrets lay hidden in this house. Unaware of her turmoil, Mrs. Reed continued with full enthusiasm: Officer Brian has approached the DA's office for reopening the case. He is outraged that his predecessor covered up a murder. Brian has taken this as an affront to Bayside Precinct. He is trying to hunt down Brody!

Kripa was startled: Brody? Is he still alive?
Of course! He would be in his 80s now. The last we heard of him was he retired and moved to Florida. Brian is trying to bring him here for the hearing.
When is the hearing? Kripa asked eagerly.
The date is not fixed yet. As soon as DA's office sets a date, I will inform you.
Thank you, Victoria. Please keep me posted.
Of course, my Dear. You're the one who started this whole thing. You definitely must attend the hearing.

Kripa was excited about the investigation but apprehensive about Angad finding out about it: But ..I …if I am present there, wont someone link me to the case?
Mrs. Reed was confident about this: I don't think anyone will suspect your involvement in this case. People know you live here but how many know of your haunting experiences?
Kripa thought carefully, the only other person who knew about her supernatural adventures was Peggy and she wasn't one to blabber….she smiled with relief and promised Mrs. Reed she would attend the hearing as and when Brody was tracked and brought in for questioning.

The next few days flew by as Kripa waited with bated breath to hear more news about the investigation. Angad was preoccupied with his job-related issues and returned home later than usual. Kripa got fed up of waiting for him at the fish shack. Most nights, she would just walk home after the shack closed at 8 o'clock and then busied herself in cooking dinner. Some nights, Angad didn't even have dinner at home! He would call to say he had already eaten and asked her not to wait for him. Kripa felt hurt but shrugged it off as a result of his current tensions at work. She didn't want to be a nagging, possessive wife. She trusted him with all her heart.
Most of those evenings alone, she plugged her ears with a walkman and listened to her favorite music so she would not hear any scary sounds. But she sometimes felt Abby's presence around her, in the kitchen. It was the scent of lavender that warned her of Abby's presence. By now she was used to it.

Mrs. Reed called her at work that Friday: Khripa, Brody is here at last. Brian went all the way to Florida to get him. Hes staying at the local motel. The hearing date is set for next week.
Kripa jumped up in excitement: Did he say anything about Abby's murder? Does he know who did it?
Mrs. Reed sighed: To know that we will have to wait till the hearing. Brody wont speak to news media or local folks.
Kripa conceded: Well, at least we found him. Now he might shed some light on what actually happened that night.
Victoria agreed: I just hope he tells the truth and doesn't cover up for his dead friend.

That night, Angad returned earlier than usual. He was in a great mood. As soon as Kripa opened the door, he handed her a bouquet of flowers with a flourish.
Kripa was surprised: Yeh kya? Phool kisliye?
Angad laughed joyously, lifted her off the ground and spun her around till she was dizzy: Kripa…Kripa..Aaj merey liye bahut khushi ka din hai! Boss handed me the best portfolio in our firm. Prithvi lost it! I won! Main jeet gaya!
Kripa pressed his heavy head to her chest and laughed: I knew you could do it! Bahut bahut badhai ho! Congrats!
Angad smooched her lips noisily and deposited her down on the ground: Ab jaldi se khana lagaao. Mujhey bahut bhookh lagi hai!

At dinner, Angad told her all about the portfolio he had been assigned. He would handle the banking for one of the biggest companies on Wall Street. His Boss had agreed to entrust him with that lucrative account after a lot of persuasion and hard work on his part. Angad was quite ecstatic with joy and Kripa rejoiced in his newfound happiness. After a long time, she saw him so relaxed and happy and she silently thanked God for paving Angad's way to success.

After dinner, Angad sat down to watch TV and as soon as she was done with her clean-up, he summoned her to sit with him: Yahan aa jaao merey paas, aaj dono ek saath late night movie dekhengey. Kitney din ho gaye enjoy kiye huey, this weekend I just want to relax and have fun!
Kripa smiled and sat down beside him, resting her head on his broad shoulder. Angad wrapped an arm around his petite wife and changed channels rapidly. He stopped at a channel that showed late night movies. Unfortunately for Kripa, it was a horror movie: The House on Haunted Hill.

Angad started watching the movie with languid interest but Kripa shifted uncomfortably. The scary scenes were freaking her out. They were too close to what she was witnessing in this house. The eerie music, the sudden shocks, the terrifying ghosts and ghastly ghouls ….she shivered and closed her eyes in fright! Goosebumps appeared on her skin….

Finally she protested: Angad, hum koi aur movie nahin dekh saktey? Yeh picture bahut daraavni hai. Please channel change kar do….
Angad turned to her with a smirk : Arey, main toh bhool hi gaya tha, tumhey bhoot pret se darr lagta hai! Lekin, sweetheart, aaj raat tumhey darr kaisa? Tumhara hatta-katta pati jo tumharey saath hai! Bhoot ki kya majaal tumharey paas bhi aaye?
Kripa couldn't help laughing: Angad! Tum bhi naa! Bhoot pret ka muscles se kya sambandh? Tum kya bhoot ke saath boxing ya wrestle karogey? WWF with a ghost?
Angad pinched her cold cheeks and chuckled: Ab samajh mein aaya? Jo dikhayi naa de, jo sparsh nahin kiya jaa sakta, ussey darr kaisa? Its just your imagination! Sab vehem hai, sachchai nahin….
Kripa's smile died away: Nahin Angad, mujhey wo dikhayi deti hai, sunayi bhi deti hai, ABBY IS HERE! So don't make fun of me!
Angad looked deep into her beautiful, dark, troubled eyes and relented: OK, Im sorry! Lets change the topic. Aaj ki raat, I don't want any arguments! Chalo, channel bhi change kar deta hoon!

He flicked the remote buttons and started watching the news. Very soon, a sleepy Kripa started dozing on his arm. She wasn't aware when he turned off the TV and looked at her with a smile. When he lifted his sleeping bride in his arms, she moaned softly and snuggled into his chest, then smiled as he kissed her forehead and carried her up the stairs. She woke up when he started removing her dress and kissing all over her satiny skin, raising goosebumps of a completely different kind, utterly delicious and arousing! She gasped and arched under his probing lips and fingers, her hands reaching for his smooth shoulders, caressing his honed muscles and taut hips. They moved restlessly against each other, pleasuring, exploring with great urgency till they came together in a burst of ecstasy! Kripa almost passed out after their passionate lovemaking. She was lost in the deep slumber of satiation.
She wasn't aware of the shifting, restless shadows on the passage walls. She didn't hear the groans of a spectral host that lingered outside the bedroom. The past was waking up, stirring its ugly head! The retribution had just begun!

************************************************

The next day was warm and muggy, the first day of August.
Angad suggested they should go to the beach: Weather is perfect for a dip in the sea. Chalo, hum Jones Beach chaltey hain. Yahan ka sabsey famous beach hai.
Kripa agreed happily. She was glad to get away from the haunted house for the day. They packed a picnic lunch and cold drinks in a cooler, took beach chairs and umbrellas, wore sunshades and straw hats.
Angad insisted she should wear her bikini.
Kripa was completely reluctant at first but agreed after a lot of persuasion: "When in Rome do as the Romans do" Angad told her with a meaningful smile.

Kripa felt horribly conscious when she took off her sundress at the beach but she was worrying unnecessarily. She was just one of the crowd of young women in bikinis. In fact some of them wore sinfully revealing ones.
But she blushed to see Angad's eyes were fixed on her. He smiled broadly, enjoying her generous curves, amused at her shyness. She looked daggers at him but couldn't help admiring how buff and hot he looked in his swimshorts. His powerful chest and washboard abs gleamed in the bright sun. They applied sunblock on each other, enjoying the intimacy of the slow massage.

But guys will be guys!When a trio of young women in skimpy bikinis passed them, Angad's eyes automatically veered towards them. Kripa got jealous at once and pulled his face her way.
He laughed: Come on, I was just looking!
She twisted her lips: Theek hai, tum jee bharkey dekho… main bhi aas paas dekhti hoon!

She turned away from him and got busy admiring some young guys playing beach volleyball. They were all robust, hunky, sportsman types. One of them even saw her staring and waved at her. Kripa waved back cheerily.
Of course Angad couldn't tolerate his wife's flirtation. He demanded peevishly: Merey peeth per lotion laga do….
Kripa giggled: Kyun? Ho gayi naa chhutti Mr. Romeo ki?
He turned on his back and pulled her down on his warm chest, smiling amorously: Meri Juliet toh sirf tum ho, meri Jaan! Now give me a kiss!
She was shocked: Yahan! Sabkey saamney?
He grinned: Of course! This is the US of A, sweetheart. Yahan nobody gives a damn if we kiss in public.
Lekin, hum toh Indian hain naa? …she looked abashed.
But he was adamant: Indians kya kiss nahin kartey? Chalo, abhi kiss do! Jaldi jaldi!
Nahin, main nahin deti! Tum badey besharam hotay jaa rahey ho! Itney logon ke saamney, kabhie nahin!….she pouted and turned her face.
He yanked her hard, she fell on his chest. He grabbed her hair and pulled her mouth down to his. He captured her lips, silencing her protests with his hard kiss. She melted in an instant and kissed him back with full fervor.

Baahon mein terey masti ke gherey masti ke gherey
masti ke ghere
saanson mein teri khushbu ke dere, khushbu ke dere...
baahon mein teri masti ke ghere masti ke ghere
saanson mein teri khushbu ke dere khushbu ke dere
masti ke gheron mein khushnu ke deron mein
hum khoye jaate hain
baahon mein teri masti ke ghere masti ke ghere
saanson mein teri khushbu ke dere khushbu ke dere
masti ke gheron mein khushnu ke deron mein
hum khoye jaate hain
baahon mein teri masti ke ghere masti ke ghere

bikhra ke zulfen jhuk jaaon mujhpe
milne do saaya tapte badan ko
maine hamesha teri amaanat samjha hai apane jaan aur tan ko
tu saath mere main saath tere
ruho ke ruho se jismo ke jismo se sadiyo ke naate hain
saanson mein teri khushbu ke dere khushbu
baahon mein teri masti ke ghere masti ke ghere
masti ke gheron mein khushnu ke deron mein
hum khoye jaate hain
saanson mein teri khushbu ke dere khushbu
baahon mein teri masti ke ghere masti ke ghere

They spent a glorious day at the beach, flirting and teasing each other. They splashed and bathed in the salty ocean waves, Angad holding her securely in his arms amidst the strong currents. They walked along the shoreline, hand in hand, observing the hordes of beachbums, sun worshippers and surfers. They fed each other sandwiches and parathas, Angad guzzled beer while she sipped on frozen OJ.
A very happy and exhausted Kripa returned to the house that evening. Finally it was feeling like a real honeymoon. A relaxed and romantic Angad, fun and frolic in the sand, she would treasure this day in her heart forever!

*****************************************************************

Sunday morning started off wrong! Angad had car trouble. He hollered at her from outside: Kripa, main car lekar town jaa raha hoon, repair karvana hai. Tumhey market se kuchh chahiye?
Kripa hurriedly made a list of groceries and ran out to give him. He looked quite upset: Abhi 2 haftey pehley toh service karvaya tha, pata nahin phir se kyun gadbad ho rahi hai.
Lekin hua kya? Kripa asked with a frown.
Kaisi ajeeb si awaaz aa rahi hai! Yeh dekho.. I mean suno…
He turned on the engine and there was a strange banging sound from some inside parts….Isey theek karna toh merey buss ki baat nahin, isiliye mechanic ke paas jaa raha hoon. Khair, kab wapas aaunga pata nahin, tum lunch tayyar rakhna.

Kripa nodded and waved at him as he drove off with loud bangs . She turned towards the house and habitually looked upward. Yes, the woman in white was there at the bedroom window, watching silently. Kripa shivered and looked down at once. She couldn't help wondering if Abby had a hand in the car trouble. Shayad ussey hamari khushi nahin dekhi jaati. Abhi-abhi toh Angad ka mood theek hua tha, sab kuchh achha jaa raha tha aur ab phir se problem. Naa jaaney wo mechanic kitney paisey lega ab repair ke liye….
Kripa went inside, worrying and fretting, suspecting Abby of foul play.

It was too early to make lunch so she busied herself in cleaning the house. She didn't have time to clean on weekdays due to work. She washed the bedsheets and blankets, blushing at the telltale signs of last night. Angad had been so demanding and passionate, her body quivered with the memory of his rough-tender possession. She hummed a sweet melody as she dusted the furniture in the living room and parlor. There was an old writing desk in the corner, where Angad usually kept his work files and bills. It was quite a mess so she started tidying it up.

She opened the drawer to put away some bills, when her glance suddenly fell on a bunch of bills clipped together. She picked it up curiously and looked at them. They were all receipts from bars and clubs.
She looked at the dates and frowned. They were all from the last 3 weeks, very frequent, almost one per day. Iska matlab Angad roz kaam ke baad bars mein jaata hai? Lekin kyun? Aur kiskey saath?

She flicked through the thin slips of paper…some of them had the actual orders attached to the bills….2 tequilas, 2 orders of onions fries. ….2 vodka, 2 plates hot chicken wings. …..2 rum punch, 2 appetizers ….
Yeh sab do do karkey kyun hai? Kya iska matlab Angad sirf ek aadmi ..ya aurat ….ko le gaya tha? Usney mujhey bataya kyun nahin? Roz late aata raha aur main raat ke 9-10 bajey tak intezaar karti rahi! Mujhey bataya kaam mein busy tha? Kyun?

Tears of hurt anger stung her eyelids. She rummaged in the drawer to ferret out more information about Angad's secret dates with that someone. Her fingers touched something soft and cottony hidden at the back of the drawer. She pulled it out. It was a white handkerchief, Angad's hanky! She knew it well because she had bought it for him from New York Macy's …it had an "A" embossed with silver threads in one corner.

Why did Angad hide his hanky in the back of a drawer instead of dropping it in the laundry basket?
She shook it out and gasped with shocked outrage ! There was a clear lipstick mark on the hanky, the outline of plump female lips, made with a deep maroon lipstick!
Mishti! It was Mishti's shade! She had been wearing that shade of lipstick when she came for that beach party!
Iska matlab Angad har roz Mishti ke saath bars mein jaata hai? Aur usney mujhsey jhooth kaha ke wo sab doston ke saath jaata hai…sab milkar drink karney jaatey hain, wo bhi kabhie kabhie!
JHOOTH! SAB JHOOTH THA! Angad aur Mishti…akeley….bars mein jaatey the….har roz!

She looked at the dates again and she knew! All those nights she had waited for Angad at the shack till 9 or 10, he had been with Mishti. While she waited, tired and hungry, fearful of returning to the house alone, he had been having a good time with Mishti! No wonder his Boss gave him the precious account! Mishti must have recommended him! Exactly what did he do with Mishti! Did they kiss? Why was her lipstick mark on his hanky? Did they…did they ..….

She gripped the hanky and bills in her hand as blind fury swept over her! Fury and shock! Betrayal! The terrible suspicion of her husband's infedility shook her heart and soul!
She shuffled on unsteady feet to the couch and sat down. Her eyes were unseeing, she was having tortorous visions of Angad and Mishti at some club….drinking together, laughing, dancing, flirting, kissing….she closed her eyes as warm tears finally escaped from her burning eyes and fell unchecked on her cold cheeks.
Nahin! Aisa nahin ho sakta! Angad cannot betray my trust! Wo aisa nahin kar sakta merey saath! Wo mujhey dhokha nahin de sakta! Lekin usney dhokha DIYA HAI! He lied to me! He had secret dates with Mishti….he pleased her, dined and wined her to get that account from her father! What else did he do to please her? Did he sleep with Mishti?
She was nauseated at the thought…she shook her head in shocked denial…..NO! NOT THAT! PLEASE, GOD, NOT THAT!

Her pain-glazed eyes fell on the piano in the corner. She realized with a sense of bitter shock that history was repeating itself! Angad was turning into Adrian!
Adrian and Charlotte! Angad and Mishti! Betrayal again! AGAIN! In this cursed house!

But she wont be like Abby! NEVER! She wont remain silent and let this happen! Today, she would confront him right away! As soon as he returns, she would demand an explanation! If he's been unfaithful, she would leave him! FOREVER!
She didn't realize it but she was sobbing with despair at the thought of losing her lover, her husband forever! A cold gust of air swept into the room and revolved around her, enveloping her in its chilling embrace but she wasn't aware of it, so lost was she in her own realm of pain.

*******************************************

Angad returned an hour later in a loaner car. He was in a jolly mood. The mechanic had given him a fair estimate but said it would take him 3 days to fix the banging sounds in the engine. To solve Angad's commuting problems, he had offered him to choose any car from his used car inventory. A delighted Angad chose a Porsche sports car as a substitute for next 3 days. He returned home at once, planning to take Kripa shopping in the "new" car.

He entered the silent house, hollering: KRIPA! DEKHO MAIN KYA LAYA! PORSCHE! 2006 MODEL! LOANER DIYA HAI! CHALO, TUM TAYYAR HO JAO, HUM DONO SHOPPING CHALENGEY. KRIPAAA…KAHAN HO TUM? KRIPAAAA….
He didn't find her in the kitchen and ran up the stairs, she wasn't in the bedrooms either. Confused and worried, he ran downstairs, yelling her name and barged into the parlor.
There she was, sitting like a statue on the couch, holding some things in her hands.
Angad gestured angrily: Kabsey tumhey bula raha hoon, jawaab kyun nahin deti? I was getting worried!

Kripa turned towards him. The stone-cold expression on her face shocked him: KYA HUA? WHATS THE MATTER? WHATS WRONG?
Kripa stood up, shaking in agony. She held out the bills and the handkerchief with a tortured query: Yeh kya hai? Kya hai yeh?
Angad didn't comprehend at first! Then his eyes fell on the lipstick mark clearly visible on the hanky! He flinched and paled. Then his expressions changed from startled guilt to defensive anger….

*edit*
gosh! so glad 2 see ya back!
fab update di!
but this update has also filled my mind with loads of questions....
history's surely repeating itself....but i wonder if therez Abby's hand in this....or is she trying 2 help Kripa?
Angad seems 2 have gone off the limits in pleasing Mishti & her dad!
Kripa knows this is a situation similar 2 what Abby faced....but she also knows the diff.!
there is also a possibility that she might've perceived the situation wrong....
hope she doesn't won't weaken out like Abby.....
i wonder whether Brody's really gonna tell the truth...
