yay! another blockbuster from my fav AK writer can't wait for the updates di, and I'm so glad you stuck to AK instead of doing a multi-starrer. not that it would have been any less brilliant but I maintain that no one quite does AK like you. you OWN them! do pm me if possible when you update next<br>

Thanks Aarti! Awww thanks for the vote of confidence, it means a LOT to me! 😳
I will add u in my pm list. Multi starrer are tough to write but fun also. But AK will always be my favorite choice. 😉

Many Thanks to ShelDev for the plot idea for this story! 😃

DECEPTION….PART 1

Her wedding day dawned bright and sunny on a chilly October morn. The earliest sunbeams touched her slumbering face, painting her forehead crimson. With a disturbed frown, she threw a slender arm across her eyes, shielding it from the wicked sun.
The sun relented and sprinkled golden showers on her lovely form, caressing her delicate features. She had a perfectly piquant heart-shaped face with a sharp little nose, a pointed determined chin and a Cupid's bow mouth. Long dusky eyelashes rested on flushed cheeks, a sweet smile played on her curved lips. She was in dreamland, in a romantic interlude with her Prince Charming!

Sharma household was waking up, stirring with the hustle-bustle of wedding preparations, excited guests chattering, servants running around, the typical sounds of a house in celebration mode.
Soft strains of Bismillah Khan's shehnai filled the sprawling Colonial style bungalow where she had grown up. Her Dadi had wanted a full-fledged traditional wedding with all the pomp and ceremony reminiscent of their original hometown Allahabad.

The sun rose higher over the Western Ghats, it was 7 am. Her mother Gayatri rushed to her bedroom door and knocked loudly:
KRIPAAAA…..KRIPAAA BETI, UTHO! HAVAN KA SAMAY HO GAYA!

Her eyes opened, really beautiful wide chocolate brown eyes, shining with the innocence of an angel and the mischief of an imp. She smiled brightly, recollecting her beautiful dream of being in her lover's arms in the verdant valleys of Switzerland where they had planned their honeymoon.

She sighed and stretched: Aaahh! Kya sapna tha! Angad aur main aur wo khubsoorat Alps ki waadiyan….she blushed and hid her face in her palms, as the more amorous parts of the dream rushed back in her memory: Haila, kitni besharam hai tu! Abhi se yeh sab soch rahi hai!…..she scolded herself.
She squirmed with a shiver of delight, tossed off the heavy quilt and sat up, stretching langourously. The covers slipped down revealing her lissom curves and slender legs in a pink satin nightgown.

KRIPAAA! Her mother was still at the door, ears pricked for sounds of her waking up. KRIPAAA, TU UTH RAHI HAI YA MAIN ANDAR AAOON?

HAAN MAA, MAIN UTH GAYI! She yelled back in a lilting, melodious voice that was already famous in Mahabaleswar and Pune Music circles.

JALDI SE NAHAAKAR TAYYAR HO JAA! PANDITJEE AA GAYE, PUJA KI TAYYARI KAR RAHEY HAIN.
OK, MAA! MAIN NAHANEY CHALI! …she yelled but lingered in bed for a little while, hugging her downy pillow and smiling away.
She couldn't believe it! TODAY was THE DAY! HER WEDDING DAY! When she would be united with the man she loved! Her first and only love!

She closed her eyes and whispered his name: An-gad! The very name tingled her lips and thrilled her heart in sheer delight! He was her Prince, her dream lover! He had literally stormed into her life and swept her off her feet.
She thought about their first meeting 6 months ago here in Mahabaleswar when she had barged into his office while selling tickets for a musical talent show. They had started off with a fight and ended up with a date…she laughed softly in reminscence.

Her mother wouldn't give up, she knew her daughter would be day-dreaming: KRIPA, KYA TU NAHAANEY GAYI?
HAAN, ABHI JAA RAHI HOON! ….Kripa finally stepped down from the bed, slipped on her fluffy bed slippers and pranced to her bathroom.

As she soaped herself under the steaming jets, she tingled all over, remembering her romantic dream. Her excitement was at fever pitch, she was still lost in its magic. Angad was kissing her passionately, his manly lips on hers, his arousing hands on her body. She was shamelessly eager about her wedding night, however unmaidenly that might sound!

She held out her hennaed hands and smiled….the mehendi lady was right, Angad ke pyaar ka rang bahut gehra pada hai! Dekho kaisey aag ki tarah dehak raha hai.

The mehendi designs stretched right up to her arms. She turned her right hand slightly and read his name hidden in the intricate design. He had found it right away, the wicked guy! His sherry brown eyes had glinted mischievously at her, promising dominance over her after marriage according to the custom.
She had twisted her lips and rolled her eyes, mumbling….Hum bhi dekhengey kaisey tum upper hand letey ho!

Kripa giggled and kissed his name in the mehendi design. I love you, Mr. Khanna! I will allow you to take upper hand, sometimes…... she whispered under the hot shower.

While blow-drying her elbow length hair before her mirror, she remembered Angad was supposed to call her after returning from Mumbai last night!
She frowned and bit her lower lip: Angad toh kal shaam ki flight se wapas aaneywala tha? He promised he would call me when he reached the hotel, why didn't he call me? Let me check if he left messages…

She grabbed her mobile and checked, there were no messages. She huffed angrily: Uff yeh Angad bhi naa! Kaam ke chakkar mein sab kuchh bhool jaata hai, mujhey bhi!

At the same time, she felt a twinge of guilt too. Her best friend Harshini had thrown her a bachelorette party at her house next door, inviting 20 of their closest school and college friends and Kripa's cousins as well. They had a whale of a time drinking fake champagne, singing songs, cracking jokes. Kripa was so caught up in the festivities she had not called Angad to check on his status.
Her mother had finally dragged her home after 10 o'clock with scolding: Shadi se ek raat pehley iss tarah ghar se baahar nahin rehtey, apshagun hota hai! Chalo, ghar chalkar so jaao, Dadi ko pata chala toh shaamat aa jayegi!

Kripa had followed her mother home meekly and gone to bed like an obedient girl. Now she wondered why Angad had not called or left a message.
Impatient to find out, she called Avanti Resort, named after Angad's mother, where the Khannas were staying.
The Receptionist answered: Avanti Resorts, how can we help you?

Kripa replied confidently : Can you give me Angad Khanna's suite please? This is Kripa Sharma…
Ohh Kripa Madam? The Receptionist almost melted, it was the Boss's bride: Please hold, Im transfering you, and Madam, Congratulations and all the best for tonight!

Kripa thanked her and waited while she was connected to the Presidential Suite where Angad and his family was staying for the wedding.
Mishti picked up the phone and drawled in her usual somnolent tone: Hello, who is this?
Kripa grimaced, she didn't share good vibes with the acid-tongued Mishti: Hello, Jeejee, main Kripa bol rahi hoon, Angad hai?

Mishti cackled sarcastically: Kripaaa? Angad chahiye? Kyun, aur intezaar bardaasht nahin ho raha? Aaj raat ko shadi ke mandap mein hi mil lena!
Kripa breathed deeply, trying to control her temper: Please, Mishti Bhabhi, mujhey sirf thodi baat karni hai, kal raat ko Angad ne phone nahin kiya, Im worried!

Mishti relented: Angad abhi so raha hai. Kal bahut raat ko lautaa, 2 bajey ke baad, uski flight miss ho gayi thi, doosrey flight se aana pada. Uth jayega toh bataa doongi tumney call kiya tha…
Ok, Bhabhi, Thanks!
Mishti just had to add caustically : Kripa, shadi ke din dulhey se milna ya baatein karna apshagun hota hai.

Kripa was planning to give a biting retort when she heard Gauri Bhabhi on the other end: Jeejee, kyun Kripa ko chidha rahey ho? Phone karney se kuchh nahin hota, haan per milnaa manaa hai.

Mishti drawled: Lo, aa gayi hamari Teacherni (Gauri was a primary school teacher when Nishant married her) Yeh lo tum hi baat karo hamari devrani se…
She handed over the phone to Gauri who had formed an instant rapport with Kripa when they first met 2 months ago.
She set Kripa's mind at ease: Kal raat itni der ho gayi thi, isiliye Angad ne call nahin kiya, tumhey neend se jagana nahin chahta tha. Usney kaha aaj subah uthney ke baad call karega, lekin abhi tak so raha hai, bahut thak gaya hai!

Kripa quickly said: Its OK, Gauri Bhabhi, unhey jaganaa mat. Main baad mein call karoongi.
She put down her mobile and sighed with a smile. So Angad was sleeping too, probably dreaming of her and their honeymoon , like her! Poor guy, he worked too hard.

Day before yesterday had been their mehendi and sangeet ceremonies. Later that night he had to fly to Mumbai to attend an important meeting.
Her parents, Dadi, all had been very upset to hear about his last minute business trip: Shadi ke ek din pehley koi iss tarah jaata hai kya?
Angad had leaned down and hugged Dadi in her wheelchair: Don't worry Dadi! Main parson theek 5 bajey aapki poti ko sindoor laganey aa jaunga! Main guarantee deta hoon! Yeh Angad Khanna ka vaada hai!

He had called her after reaching Mumbai and then again yesterday morning: Kripa, main meeting ke liye nikal raha hoon. I will reach Mahabaleswar by 8 tonight.
Kripa reminded him: Main Harshini ke wahan rahungi, yaad hai naa? Wo merey liye bachelorette party de rahi hai. Lekin tumharey bachelor's party ka kya hoga?

He laughed: Shabbir aur Raj dono yahan hain, we will go out after my meeting.
She teased him: Really? Matlab afternoon bachelor's party?
He teased back: Din mein bhi toh beer bars khuley rehtey hain?

She knew he was referring to the bars where girls performed provocative dances.
She shot back: Khabardaar jo wahan gaye toh! Agar mujhey pata chala toh main…
Toh kya karogi?
Main mandap se bhaag jaungi!

He chuckled : Lekin tumhey pataa kaisey chalega?
She bit her lower lip: Tumhari aankhein dekhkar pata chal jayega ke tumney koi badmaashi kee ya nahin!
His voice deepened seductively: Main sirf ek ladki ke saath badmaashi karna chahta hoon.
She asked deliberately: Oh really? Kaun hai wo?
He teased her more: Naam batana padega kya?
Haan! Abhi bataao….she demanded.
Hai ek ladki, bahut khubsoorat, lekin ziddi, spoiled, paagal type ki…
She gasped in outrage: Main tumhey paagal lagti hoon?
He laughed: Mainey tumhara naam kab liya? Main toh apney pyaar ke baarey mein baat kar raha tha….
She pouted and huffed: ..Theek hai! Toh apney pyaar se hi shadi kar lena!
Wahi toh karoonga! Aur suhaag raat bhi usikey saath manaunga!
Jaao! Besharam! ..she acted coy!

He laughed and informed her: Waisey tumharey liye ek surprise hai!
Really? She lit up with excitement: Kaisi surprise?
Agar bataa diya toh surprise kaisey hogi?
Pleeeease bataao naa! She pleaded like a kid: Please, Angad! I cant wait!
Patience, sweetheart! Patience! Special surprise hai, suhaag raat ko dekh lena.
Ohh! She bit her lips, not sure what kind of surprise he was referring to…
He chuckled wickedly: Tum jaisa soch rahi ho waisi surprise nahin! You have a one-track mind, Kripa!
She huffed angrily: Tumney kaisey soch liya main….she blushed as she realized his meaning: UFF! You are too much! Jaao main tumsey baat nahin karna chahti!
Wait! Don't keep the phone! I love you, sweetheart!
I don't love you! She clicked the phone.

The next moment he called back and apologized to her humorously: Tumharey saath masti karna achha lagta hai! Now I have to sit at that boring meeting with the Builder's Association. Isiliye thoda jee behlaa raha tha.
She smiled: I love you! Jaldi wapas aa jaana! Aur shaam ko zaroor call karna! I will wait for your call!
He kissed her over the phone: Of course! See you soon, my love!
Bye, lover!…she smooched back.

Kripa brushed her now dried hair and smiled dreamily at her reflection. Angad was everything she had wanted in a man, he was intelligent, romantic, witty, cultured, charming, everything a girl could wish for! She was lucky indeed to find him, to be his bride!

Of course her doting Dadi had always told her: Meri Rajkumari ke liye kisi din ek Rajkumar aayega aur usey byaahkar doli mein bithakar apney Mahal le jayega!
When she introduced Angad to her family 3 months ago, Dadi had smiled triumphantly: Dekha? Main kehti thi naa meri poti ke liye ek Rajkumar aayega? Shakal, akal aur maan maryada mein Rajkumar hi toh hai!

Kripa couldn't agree more….Angad was her Dream Prince! His handsome visage floated in the mirror before her, that charming lopsided grin curving his well-cut lips. She smiled back at his vision: I cant wait for tonight!
Her thrilling thoughts were interrupted by a loud banging on the door, her mother yelled impatiently: KRIPA! Ab hum andar aa rahey hain, tumhey tayyar karna hai!

Her mother entered the room with Harshini, carrying a large silver tray bearing a maroon sari and red and green bangles: Kripa! Kitni der laga dee! Abhi jaldi se yeh saree pehen le, Panditjee, Dadi sab wait kar rahey hain! Harshini beta, zara iskey baal baandh de aur saaj shringaar karvaa de!

Kripa mouthed Sorry to her mother, quickly draped the sari, then sat meekly while Harshini and her mother made her ready for the Havan! It was her Dadi's wish that this Puja be performed on the day of the wedding. Kripa was a "maanglik" and this ceremony was supposed to remove all "doshas" from her kundli! Of course Kripa didn't believe in all that stuff but she would do anything to please her Dadi, especially since she had heard Dadi only had a few months to live!

Habitual tears came to her eyes but she blinked them away: Nahin, aaj is khushi ke din no aansoo, no gham, sirf muskurahat! Main Dadi ki har ichha poori karoongi! Hanstey hanstey, chahey uskey liye mujhey poora din boring Puja mein baithnaa padey!

Harshini tied up her hair in a bun and did her make-up, Gayatri picked up the bangles last: Lo beti, ab yeh shagun ki chudiyan pehen lo!
Kripa held out her hands and put on the red and green glass bangles that were the symbols of a suhaagan. They were shining and glittering with every movement of her henna decorated hands. She smiled to see their bright twinkling like the bright dreams of her future.

Harshini bent down and whispered in her ears: Angad se baat huyi? Wo lauta ke nahin?
Kripa whispered back: Lauta toh, magar baat nahin huyi, so raha hai, uska plane late ho gaya tha.
Oh I see! Pata hai, Prithvi ab bhi khafa hai…
Kiss baat se?
Wahi….Harshu giggled….kal humney usey party mein shaamil nahin kiya, isiliye naaraz hai, mera phone bhi nahin utha raha!
Kripa shrugged as she applied lipstick: He is so silly! Bachelorette party mein wo ladka hokar kya karta?
Wahi toh! It was a girls only party lekin uska kehna hai wo bhi toh teri dost hai, so why wasn't he invited too?

Kripa laughed with a certain discomfort. If only Harshu knew Prithvi's real feelings, what he had said to her a week ago! It had shocked her beyond belief that Prithvi felt that way about her. Oh well! She couldn't do anything about that!
Gayatri hurried them up: Chalo ab, bahut ho gaya! Tum dono sahelion ki gupshup kabhie khatam nahin hogi!

As they led Kripa out to the Prayer room, her neighbours and relatives gathered around to admire her loveliness: Sachchi mein, hamari Kripa jaisi khubsoorat dulhan kahin dekha hai?

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

Angad joined his family for breakfast shortly after nine. He looked refreshed, energized and well-rested. Gauri Bhabhi served him from platters bearing Indian and Continental breakfast dishes delivered by special room service at their Presidential suite dining alcove.
Ab kaisa lag raha hai? Tabiyat theek toh hai naa? She asked sweetly in concern.

Angad grinned: Haan Bhabhi, abhi main fit hoon. Neend achhi rahi, Im feeling much better. Lekin Nishant Bhaiyya kahan hain? Aur Chachajee-Chachi jee?
Tumharey Bhaiyya subah naashta karkey kisi kaam se nikal gaye, kehtey the shadi ka koi arrangement baaki reh gaya! Papa jee apney room mein email check kar rahey hain, Maa jee naha rahi hain.

Mishti sipped her coffee and drawled: Angad, tum apney badey Bhaiyaa ko saath kyun nahin laaye? Unka iraada kya hai? Is he going to attend ur wedding or what?
Angad shrugged coolly: Kartik Bhaiyya will return today, unhey kal ek urgent kaam sambhalna tha.
Mishti rolled her eyes: Really! Tum Khanna brothers! Lagta hai duniya mein sirf tum log hi business chalatey ho! Baaki sab toh papad bechtey hongey!

Angad chuckled and dug heartily into his omelette. He looked up to see little Mili watching him silently, solemnly from the couch in front of the TV. He smiled and winked at her. She smiled back at once, ran to him and jumped on his lap: Chachu, kya aaj aap shadi karengey?
Yes, sweetheart!…he pulled her plump cheeks.

Kripa Aunty ke saath?
That is correct!
Chachu, mujhey bhi shadi karni hai!
Angad looked at her solemnly: Yeh achha iraada hai. Hum ek kaam karengey, aaj shadi ke mandap mein koi achha ladka dekhkar hum tumhari bhi shadi karvaa dengey!
Sachchi? Mili's eyes sparkled excitedly.
Promise!
Pukka promise?
Pukka! 100%.
Chachu, aap thumb promise karna bhool gaye!
I'm sorry! Angad linked his thumb with Mili's tiny one, circled both disproportionate palms around, then joined them in their secret handshake.

Gauri and Mishti smiled at their cute pact. Dipu's smaller face appeared from the other couch. Jealous at Mili sharing all Chachu's attention, he hopped towards Angad and climbed on his other knee: Chachu! He lisped: Mujhey shadi nahin karna…

Kyun? Angad asked seriously.
Ladkiyan gandi hoti hain!
Nahin beta, aisa nahin kehtey! Dekho, tumhari Mama, Bebe, Kripa Aunty, yeh sab ladkiyan hain, gandi nahin kehtey.
Dipu looked thoughtful: Nahin, wo sab sundar hain, lekin Mili gandi hai!
Kyun beta, Mili ne kya kiya?
Mili protested: Main gandi nahin, tu ganda hai!
Dipu fought with her: Tuney mera game kyun le liya, tu gandi hai….
Chhee beta, aisa nahin kehtey apney Didi ko….Mili, uska game lauta do! ….Angad, Gauri and Mishti joined voices to resolve their fight and solve the problems. The babble of voices rose in the master suite till Chachajee Darshan Khanna emerged and greeted his dearest nephew with a warm welcome.

Nice to share the happiness and excitement of Angad and Kripa but there is a nagging suspicion that something is going to happen to hinder the wedding ..

I am looking forward to reading next part.. and waiting to see how the story unfurls ...
