ISHQ SUMANDER:LAST PART PG 18 CHECK PG 19 - Page 10

'Zaib' was still in the hospital. He had gotten more comfortable with Kripa and to some extent believed that he was Angad. Then again he wanted proof.

He was sitting pondering his questions when Kirpa entered. He lifted his eyes from his I-Pod and looked at Kripa. "Morning Zaib."

"Morning Kripa." The fact Kripa thought he was Angad and called him Zaib had somewhat started to sting him. Kripa changed the flowers and tossed the old once and then sat beside him.

"Feeling better," she asked lifting the hair from his forehead.

"Much."

"That's good."

"Kripa, did you find a way out of the fashion show?"

"I think." 'Zaib' looked at her confused, "Josh has---"

"JOSH?" He had practically screamed upon hearing Josh's name.

"Ssshhh."

"Kirpa Josh? Aaliya is pregnant. She's due any day now and your thinking about Josh? How could you?"

"Angad relax I--" Kripa paused for a few seconds and then spoke again, "I mean Zaib, he had found someone for me who can model this for me and he's a new face. And-"

Zaib suddenly pressed his finger against Kripa's lips and she looked at him, confused, shocked, and for some reason pleased. "Kripa do you really think I'm Angad?" Kripa nodded her head.

"Zaib, we have done the DNA tests we will know soon."

Kripa decided she should leave now and stood up, before she could walk Zaib captured her hand and pulled her back. She sat back down and Zaib cupped her face in his hands and the next words that he whispered, Kripa could live her entire life with it, "I believe you Kripa. I don't need those DNA tests to prove it."

"And if I'm wrong?"

"If you love Angad you would know, wouldn't you?" Kirpa nodded her head and Zaib kissed her cheek. "And you should call me Angad, not Zaib." Kirpa smiled, which reached her eyes and a few glistening tears framed her eyes. Angad hugged her tightly and she broke down in his arms. Only she knew how long she had waited for this day. She felt herself melting in his arms, as every second passed she became more determined that this was Angad. The warmth in his hug was just like two years ago when Angad would take her in her arms. His heartbeat, every breath he took was like Angad's.

Still in each others arms there was a soft knock on the door. Kripa pulled away and walked in the doctor. He handed Kripa the reports along with it told her that Angad could be discharged. Kripa talked to him about precautions and diet issues and then the doctor left. Kripa handed the reports to Angad. He confidentially opened the envelope and read the reports, which clearly declared he was Angad Khanna.

About, thirty minutes later Kripa and Angad were walking down the hospital lobby holding hands. As Angad walked down the lobby with Kripa, a stretcher came zooming past them on which lay a pregnant lady. She was screaming in pain, and her husband was next to her worried. Suddenly Kripa felt Angad's grip get tighter, she looked at him and saw him slowly holding his head. In his mind pictures flashed of a pregnant lady falling and then being rushed to the hospital. Then he pictured a doctor telling the couple they lost their baby.

Angad fell on a bench close by and Kripa sat beside him screaming for a doctor.

Angad continued to see his vision. The husband telling his wife she should have been more careful, and they lost their baby just because of her. His vision cleared as the husband walked out of the room and he saw Kripa falling on the floor crying, screaming Angad's name. Who left her right there, leaving her in pain after accusing her of killing her own child.

Then he visions her and Kripa singing the divorcer papers. Then he visions him finding out the truth about Prithvi and his lies. Him beating Prithvi up and then handing him over to the police. Him getting in the car and rushing to the hospital on his way getting in an accident, but luckily surviving, but killing another man. Him getting to Canada where a car hits him and he faints.

Everything flashes again and he sees a crying Kripa again, "I HATE YOU KRIPA!" And screaming Kripa's name Angad wakes up. He finds Kripa sitting in front of her worried. He quickly gets out of bed and hugs her tightly saying, "I'm sorry Kripa. It was never your fault. I was a fool to not trust you. We lost our baby because of me. Not because of you." Kripa pulled away and made him sit down.

"It wasn't your fault Angad. It was our destiny. Fate wanted to know if we can be part from each other for two years and still love us. And we do love each other. It wasn't your fault Angad."

Angad just looks at Kripa and hugs her again, "I'm sorry Kripa." He repeats the same thing a few times and then they pull away. The first place Angad takes Kripa is to the mandir and marries her again.

As they both enter the house Dadi was shocked to see the sindoor in Kripa's maang and a mangal sutra around her neck, and Angad and Kripa holding hands. Kripa hadn't told anyone that Zaib was Angad. But the seconds she saw the tears in Angad's eyes she came to teams with everything.

*******

Kirpa is standing at the window when Angad enters the room after talking to Dadi and Aaliya. He knew Kripa was crying right now. He knew she was crying remembering the past years. He walked behind her and hugged her putting his chin on her shoulder. "Why are you crying?"

"I'm not."

"You are."

"I'm not."

"You are."

"I'm not."

"Your not?"

"I'm not Angad."

Angad turned her around and hugged her, "Ok." Kripa smiled seeing him like this and hugged him back. "Kripa…"

"Hmmm?"
"Can we bring Adi back?"

"Yes, and forever."

"He's going to be so happy to see us."

"He is." For the next few minutes they stood still.

"Kripa."

"Ya…"

"I love you."

"I love you too Angad. Now lets go to sleep."

"Tumahri soona ki aadat abhi tak nahie badli?"

"Aur tumahri na soona ki aadat abhi tak nahie badli?"

"Phir sa taana?" He picked her up and carried her to the bed and put her down. "Good night Kripa." He kissed her softly, and stood up straight but Kripa pulled him down.

"Angad mujhko phir Kabhi chor kar nahie jaoga?"

Angad didn't say anything and hugged her tightly. When they finally parted Anagd kissed her again, but this time it was a passionate kiss that made up for the past two years.
