So it's Simone who is behind this MU bw AK..she didnt pass on any of Kripa's calls. Plus she prob somehow got into Angad's email n deleted all of the kripa's messages..

I love kripa's bonding with her daughter...Though i am surprised how nobody questioned kripa why Anjali calls Josh mamu..not dad?

And Mahi..i understand she is career minded n wanted to work when she was pregnant..bt I feel she is crossing the line after the baby was born..i mean how can she get bored after having a baby..they are the cutest thing in the world..n they keep u on ur toes 24/7...n it's truly sad she has no time for her hubby n son. She needs to get a reality check big time.

U could kill 2 birds with one stone...Lets say..Kripa comes to VA with Anjali..Mahi comes to spend time with her...n takes Anjali and Krish out...and something happens to Anjali...so she needs blood..n her blood grp matches with Angad not Josh or kripa..n Shabd and Family gets mad at Mahi for being careless...Shabd has big fight with Mahi..and asks Mahi to leave...without Krish...this way Mahi can realize the importance of her child and Shabd in her life...and Angad can figure out that Anjali is his daughter..n this will pave a road to clear the misunderstanding...

whew that was long...looking foward to read ur next update..plz update soon! :)

Hey Himali,

PART-20

In the evening his dad came and they hugged eachother emotionally……Dilip proudly patted his young CEO Son and congradulated on his success…….

Couple of days passed by, when Angad could not avoid going to Pratham's house……After all they were all partners in the same company…….It would appear rude to not meet them all…….

P: Angad…..what a pleasant surprise……….

Angad smiled and shook his hand…..

P: Aao andar aao……Angad smiled and walked in the house………Gayatri and Surya were sitting down on the mat with Krish and Sneha playing next to them……It all looked so cozy……

G: Angad, kaise ho? Gayatri asked smiling….

A: ji thik hun aunty……

S: Congrats Angad, for your success….

A: Thanks uncle…….ye Sneha hai? He asked looking at the little girl of 4 -5 years……He had see her when she was a around 1 or so……..

G: Hmmm……au r ye Krish hai….Shabd aur Mahi ka beta……she said smiling at him…..

Sneha: Hi Angad……Sneha said looking at him with a smile…..Angad raised his eyebrow…..Dadi kehti thi ki aap London mein rehte ho……Now he understood…..

A: Haan, dadi thik kehti hai…..Do you go to school….

Sneha: Nope…..Krish, don't mess it up……She said holding the blocks, to stop it from breaking…….

P: Sneha, no fighting please….Jao, Shabd mama ko bula lao……

Sneha: Ok…..but please can you tell him not to mess my house…..

Pratham rolled his eyes……

Angad chuckled seeing the little girl go…….Pratham looked at him…..

A: Shabd yahan hai…..?

P: Haan, woh jaldi aa gaya tha, to ye logon ko park mein khila kar aya aur upar aram karne chala gaya…….

Angad smiled…….

G: Angad, tum kab aye…..Gauri said coming outside from office room……..

P: Angad ko akar 15 minute ho gaye aur tumhe pata bhi nahi…….

G: Sorry…..woh Kripa ki batein to khatam hi nahi hoti………She said chuckling……aur yeh Anjali bich bich mein tokti hai…….Angad looked away hearing Kripa's name……..

S: Hi Angad……..Shabd said surprised to see him after all these years…….

A: Hi Shabd…..Kaise ho….?

S: good…..He said chuckling, when Krish got up and asked to pick him…..Instead Shabd sat with him down ……

Sneha: Mama…...dekho na isne mera sara ghar tod diya……she said winning looking at the blocks…..

S: Koi baat nahi Sneha…..I promise, aur bada ghar bana denge……So how is work going on Angad…..Congrats on your success…..

A: Thanks…..tum kya kar rahe ho aur Mahi?

S: I am writing my final thesis and Mahi is busy in her job….he said smiling……

Angad nodded……

G: Angad, chai loge…..

A: No thanks Gauri……

S: Black coffee……Shabd asked grinning…..

A: I am fine….

S: Are Angad….mein bana deta hun…..Bhabhi…..aap baithiye…..He said chuckling……Ma, papa, aapko kuch chaihiye…..

P: Shabd…..ek badhiya chai ho jaye tumhare hath ka to majja aa jaye…..Pratham said chuckling……Shabd frowned at him…..

S: Pratham bhaiya, mujhe se acha to tum banate ho……Kyun bhabhi…….

G: Bilkul thik kaha shabd…..jao pratham…..humare liye chai banao aur Shabd tab tak black coffee bana dega Angad ke liye……she said grinning….Pratham hit her slowly but then smiled and got up…….Shabd and Pratham worked side by side in the kitchen talking with Angad about his work……Sneha and Krish kept quaralling in between and Shabd tried to console them both…….

Angad looked at Shabd who was so comfortable with this family here……..He had seen Shabd devasted when his parents had passed away…….Now, looking at him….it felt as if he had got his family back……He was one of them……he could see it in the way he talked joked and relaxed……If only Kripa would have waited for him, he would have been a part of this family as well……He had liked Mahi and Pratham as well as Gauri for their easy going nature……He even liked Gayatri, who was so very much like his dadi………

After having coffee and talking to them all he walked out of the house…But not before he had seen a picture of Josh, Kripa and their daughter………

Angad met many old friends during the next week, went to office and met Mr. Bhatia……They had met many times in London these past few years though……..He also went to meet couple of his college lecturers……..

And then after a week or so, left for California with a promise to come back to meet dadi and his parents before leaving…….He had some work in LA as well and wanted to meet Prithvi too and not to mention Kripa……..

Shabd reached home at around 9 with a dinner pack for Mahi……Mahi was still not back…….He was frustrated with her……..He changed Krish's clothes and then made him sleep……..He showered and laid on the bed tired……..The time passed by and it was 1 when he heard the chime………He got up angrily and went out…….Mahi was sitting on the sofa, with her head rested on the back………

S: Mahi……he called her name angrily……Aisa kab tak chalega……kya tumhari zindagi mein kaam ke siwa aur kuch rakha hi nahi hai……family, apna beta…..inki koi ahmiyat nahi hai…..Mahi sighed….

M: Shabd please…..don't start again…..She said sighing……Shabd looked at her angrily…….

S: Don't start again? What do you mean by this…..Aaj do mahine ho gaye hain….you go at 7 in the morning and come back around mid night……Apne bte ki thodi bhi parvah nahi hai…..

M: Shabd please…..aur woh tumhare paas rehta hai na…..I know he is in good care……And this is only till I get my promotion…..

S: Mere paas rehta hai, par ma ki kami to mehsus hoti hogi na usse…….How can you be so thoughtless……..

Mahi just got up shaking her head in frustration and went to Krish's room…….She sat next to him and smiled looking at his innocent face…….She kissed his forehead lightly and caressed his hairs…….Yeah, she missed him, but she needed to do this work and finish it within time frame to get the promotion….She slowly got up tired and went to their room to take shower……She found Shabd lying on the bed and looking angrily other side of the room……She shook her head ……She knew she was late now a days, but she had explained about her work and about her promotion…….Krish was ok for now…..she knew she was not there for him as much as she should be, but her work had taken so much time, and with economic crisis, it was difficult to survive in the competitive world……Their jobs were constantly in danger and she could not afford it……..

She took shower and went to the kitchen and found the tiffin box…….She opened it and had her dinner alone in front of the tv…..Once done, she slept there exhausted……Shabd was long awake after that, angry at Mahi as well as upset…...

Aliyah and Shabeer were at Josh's house to meet them…….Even Ishaan Josh's uncle came for a visit……..

They all planned to go out for dinner that afternoon………

J: Kripa…..Anjali ke shoes kahan hai….Josh called out…..

Anjali started running…..Shoe….shoe…..she said looking under the bed……Josh looked down and sure enough found the shoes…..He chuckled…..

J: Saab pata hota hai tumhe…..

K: Kya hua Josh…..tum ne bulaya….

J: kuch nahi….Anjali ne dhund kar diya…..he said grinning and showing her the shoes…..

Kripa chuckled……

K: Mein ati hun……

Ishaan: Kripa beta, tumhara phone hai……Koi music director se hai….

K: Thanks uncle, she said taking the phone……Ishaan had visited them couple of times and they too have visited once to NY…….So, she was well used to him and liked him verymuch……He was easy going and in his mid 40's alone after his wife had died during child birth in India, 16 years back…..He had then moved here and stayed alone since then…..He treated Josh and Ailiyah as his kids……And now he showered same love on her as well…..

Kripa went to her room and talked while getting ready side by side…….

Al: Kripa, I need a hair dryer…….

K: Uss drawer mein hai Aliyah….take it…..

Al: Kripa……Sheetal kahan gayi…….ghar par nahi hai…..

K: Pata nahi Aliyah…..but I want to share a secret with you…..she said grinning……Aliyah raised her eyebrows……Kripa then whispered some thing in her ears and Aliyah shouted loudly….Allu……thera patice bana dungi, agar abhi kuch bahar kaha to……

Aliyah rolled her eyes…….

Al: Sheetal and Bhai…..? I can't believe it…..

Kripa chuckled…..Me too…..but I have seen them sneaking around…….Aliyah chuckled……Waise, I like Sheetal….what do you say?

Al: As long as bhai is happy, I don't mind……She grinned…..Kripa nodded with a smile…….

Shabeer: Aliyah…..kripa…..tum donon ki bak bak ho gayi ho to chale…..ya yahin raat gujar ni hai……..

Aliyah rolled her eyes….and kept a hand on her hips…..

Al: Hum log bak bak karte hain?

Shabeer: Aur nahi to kya bahot kaam ki baat kar rahe ho kya? He said chuckling…..

Al: For your information….haan…..she said smiling sweetly at him and then grinning at Kripa….Thanks Kripa, you made my day…..I am so happy….she said going and hugging Kripa…..Kripa chuckled and grinned at Shabeer…..

K: Shabeer, bas do minute, hum aa rahe hain…….

Sheetal was back in minutes…….

K: Kahan chali gayi thi Sheetal……

S: Bas kuch saman chahiye tha Kripa…….Issiliye gayi thi…..I am ready…..

Kripa rolled her eyes…….Common girl, you can do better than that one……She said opening her wardrobe…..Sheetal sighed and selected one from Kripa's dresses……Kripa was now fully used to western ware and had many good outfits…..She had good eye for what looked good on her and selected carefully……She was in many ways changed and had tried to keep upto date for Angad's sake, so he would not feel that they were from two different worlds……

Soon, they all went to the restaurant and had a wonderful time together…….

Al: Chalo Kripa, aaj jara prithivi ko surprise visit bhi dete hain…..Kitne din ho gaye ussase mile hue……Aliyah grinned after dinner…..It was still 8 and they had some time ……

K: No problem…..Josh, Anjali ko yahan do, tum sara frock ganda kar rahe ho……She said frowning…..

J: Koi baat nahi……We are doing fine…..he said feeding her the ice cream…….with a grin……

Ishaan chuckled looking at Anjali, who was thoroughly enjoying eating the icecream……

Sheetal: Kripa, it's ok, meine uska ek aur frock rakha hai, we can change her later……

K: Thanks Sheetal, mere to dhyan mein hi nahi tha……

Once Anjali was done, Josh picked her up with a grin…..They walked out of the restaurant and sat in their car……

K: Josh, uska muh to ponch dete washroom mein……she said frowning…..

J: Hum Prithvi ke ghar clean kar lenge Kripa….wasise bhi do minute ka hi to rasta hai…..Kripa sighed shaking her head…..Kripa buckled up Anjali next to her and made faces…..Anjali chuckled at her and gave her a sticky kiss on Kripa's cheeks…..

K: Eww……Kripa said looking at her and Anjali laughed even more…..Everyone chuckled as Kripa played along with her, as she kept giving her wet sticky ice cream kisses to her and Kripa made faces pretending to be disgusted, which made Anjali laugh more…..Atlast, they all reached Prithvi's house….Kripa took Anjali and Anjali kept playing the same game with her…….They stood for Prithvi to open the door, but Kripa was in for a big shock…….There stood Angad looking at her and Anjali……..Kripa stared at him with disbelief………Angad was as much stunned to see Kripa and her daughter laughing at each other, before him as Kripa was…….They stared at eachother in disbelief……

J: Angad…….Josh shouted his name surprised and Kripa and Angad both came out of their trance…….Angad looked at Kripa once more and then at Josh and smiled awkwardly at him…….

A: Hi Josh…..

J: Tu yahan?

A: This is my brother's house…..you know…

J: Josh chuckled……yeah man…..good to see you……Kripa stared at Angad all the while……

P: Are Kripa aao na andar…….Prithvi said smiling at her……

Anjali smiled and tried to wriggle out of her hands…..

K: No way Anjali…..saab ghar ganda karogi……pehle dress change karenge, haath muh dho lenge, phir bhagna…..she said trying to distract her self a little…….

Everyone walked inside and Tanya came out of kitchen…..

T: What a surprise…..I hope tum log khana khakar aye ho…..nahi to Kripa aaj pizza for sure…..I am not going in the kitchen today……!!

Sh: Don't worry Tanya……abhi restaurant se hi aa rahe hain….she said chuckling…..

P: Not fair…..Mujhe kyun nahi bulaya…..hum log bhi aa jate……

J: Bulaya tha…..phone kahan utha raha hai tu…..

Al: Hey Angad……Meet my hubby Shabeer…..Shabeer Angad, bhai ke bachpan ka dost……..

Shabeer: Nice to meet you Angad…..Shabeer said with a smile……

T: Kripa, Tumhara muh pura chocolate se bhara hai……she said chuckling…..

K: I know…..iss shaitan ne kiya ye saab…..she said making faces at Anjali, who chuckled…….Kripa's eyes met Angad's who was looking at her……She looked in his eyes, but for some reason he looked away…..

J: Lao Kripa, mein change kardeta hun usse…….Tum jao aur muh dho lo…..he said grinning…..Kripa smiled hesitatingly…..Her heart was not into it……Angad was standing before her…..How could her heart stay calm……But Anjali was trying to wriggle out and she composed her self for her sake……She took some wet tissues and wiped Anjali up and gave her to Josh……..She went in the bathroom to take few deep breathe and calm her beating heart……..She could not believe that he was here and not even told her about it……He did not even smil at her…..He was meeting her as if they were strangers…….And his eyes did not give her any indication of happiness……Did there relationship mean nothing to him……She had sent coutless mails……she had called again and again…..why had he ignored them…..? The question suddenly came in her mind after 2 years today, looking at his somber face……..

T: Ishaan uncle, aap kab aye….?

I: Beta kal raat ko aya…….Tum dono kaise ho?

T: Bilkul thik hai uncle……aap baithiye……Baitho Angad……

Angad kept looking at Josh who was changing Anjali with the other girls help……..She was constantly wriggling…….

J: Are yaar Anjali ruko to…

Aliyah chuckled as Josh struggled with Sheetal…..

Sh: Mein kar deti hun Josh…..do usse yahan…..

J: No way….I can do it…..He said frowning……Sheetal sighed and waited for few minutes, when Josh could not do it properly, she shook her head and took over making faces and grinning at Anjali……ok…..I know you can do it far more expertly than me…….I give up…..he said rolling his eyes……Aliyah chuckled and Josh looked at her with a frown…..

A: Josh, introduce nahi karoge…..

J: Sorry man….. Sheetal, my childhood friend Angad………Prithvi's brother…..This is Sheetal…..Humare sath rehti hai….. Sheetal's cheeks turned red, when Angad raised his eyebrows…..

Sh: Actually I am Anjali's nanny and I do the house work for them….Angad nodded…..

Al: But she is more of a friend to all of us than a nanny or a cook…….Aliyah said grinning….Sheetal smiled as she got Anjali ready and combed her hair and applied some cream………

Sh: There you go sweetheart…..

Anjali ran to Tanya once done…..

A: Aunty…..I want cheese……

K: No, Anjali…..jao jake khelo…..abhi to ice cream khake ayi ho…..Kripa said coming out……

A: Mama……I want cheese….

T: Tell you what…..play for some time and I will give you after some time……Tanya said smiling…..Anjali nodded and ran inside to Prithvi and Tanya's room where there were couple of soft toys…..

Kripa sighed and went to the living room, how long could she avoid him……..And there was no reason to avoid him…..They needed to talk…….She would call later and talk to him…….Angad looked at her, as she came and sat besides Josh…….He tightened his fist in anger…….His counted to ten to bring his anger in control…….He could see that Kripa was just same like before…..she hasn't changed even a little and she was as beautiful as ever……He could still feel her taste on his lips……Could still smell her scent when he took deep breathe and remembered her……Could still feel her soft skin in his hand…….Kripa's blushed as his gaze moved over her……..She could not believe that he was here….He had changed a lot…..Gone was the young boy she had seen three years back…..He was a strong man, with broad shoulders and muscles to die for…….And further more he was the father of her baby…..He was the person she loved and waited to come back to her for 3 years and here he was……….

J: I can't belive Angad, tum yahan ho aur hume khabar bhi nahi? He asked shaking his head…..

Angad just smiled…..

A: Sorry to hear about your mom Josh……he said sighing….Josh nodded with a sad smile…...

Al: Richmond gaye the?

A: Hmmm……

K: Dadi kaisi hai? Kripa asked slowly……She had called her almost every two weeks after the surgery to ask about her health……

Angad looked at her in surprise……He remembered the time, when she had asked about him after he had the accident on 15^th august…..

A: Thik hai….par jyada chal nahi sakti…..he replied looking in her eyes…..Kripa nodded sadly…..

Prithvi chuckled at Kripa……Kripa looked at him with a frown…..

K: Kya hua?

P: kuch nahi din mein pachaso baar saabki khabar leti rehti ho phone par, phir bhi baar baar saab se puchti rehti ho……….Kripa smiled…..

J: Seriously Prithvi…..Inka to phone se baat karna khatam hi nahi hota……Aliyah, shabber, Mahi, Shabd, Mama, papa, bhaiya bhabhi not to mention sneha, krish, phir dadi, uncle, aunty ……..and the list goes on…..

I: Mera naam bhool rahe ho Josh…..Ishaan said chuckling…..I get a call from her at least two times a week……Acha hai….khud to kuch apni khabar dete nahi ho, Smriti ke baad uski jagah Kripa beti ka phone ata rehta hai……bahot acha lagata hai…..nahi to tum ladkon ko dekho……mahino khabar hi nahi hoti…..and not to mention Aliyah, who falls in same categeory……

Al: Mamu……please….I call you….

I: Yeah right once a month……! He said chuckling…..

Al: Yeah whatever…….

Kripa smiled at them…..

P: I must say uncle, Kripa has lots of patience……

Angad chuckled listening to them…..Yeah, she had patience he thought….She could not even wait for a year to marry off and have a kid…..And she had told him she loved him……..Kripa looked at him and so did everyone else……

A: Sorry…..just thinking…..he said sighing

J: Still single bachelor……He asked grinning…..Angad looked at Kripa, but she kept her eyes down……..Deep in thoughts…..

A: Very much so...Kripa looked up at him, and sighed a little……For some reason, though she trusted him, she was a little tensed for his answer……

They talked for some time…..Kripa and Angad kept glancing at eachother all the time……atlast tired Anjali asked Kripa to take her up……Kripa lifted her daughter and looked at Angad once more….She was his too……And she needed to tell him……But now was not the time……she needed some time to compose, and for some reason she was feeling suffocated here……She had to get out and breathe a little…..

K: Josh chale, Anjali ka sone ka waqt ho gaya hai……Kripa said getting up…..She did not know why, but she felt as if some thing was different between them…..She did not feel the same warmth she felt three years back…..Had he not received her mails……Was he aware of her and Josh's relationship…….Did he knew that Anjali is his daughter…..She had mailed him again and again……but there had been no reply……If he had not checked his mails? But what about the calls she had made……? She sighed…..she would call him tomorrow morning……..and ask him to meet her……..She would tell him the truth…….

With heavyheart she left…….She had never imagined that their meeting after 3 years would be this way like strangers……It felt so odd…….She wanted to run in his arms and empty her heart…….She had been living a lie and was guilty of lying to her parents too……Josh was now in love with Sheetal and she knew, she had to get out soon……Sheetal was a wonderful girl and Josh deserved this happiness, more than anyone else……..

She kissed Anjali and hugged her close………She was so precious…...And finally she would have her dad……A very successful one……She was proud of Angad…….was very happy for his success…….Atleast her sacrifices for him paid off well…….He had fulfilled his dreams…..But now she could not wait any longer……They need to take up the responsibility of Anjali together and give her the family she deserved…..With two parents……..

She was tensed and tried to pick up phone and call Angad twice, at night……But did not want to disturb Prithvi and Tanya…..Tomorrow, when they leave she would call him and ask him to meet………

She was restless all through night and finally got up after couple of hours of sleep…..She quickly got up and got ready…….As soon as Josh left she asked Sheetal to take Anjali to near by park and called Angad…..He picked up in couple of rings and Kripa's voice choked hearing his voice……….She closed her eyes and waiting for few seconds…..

A: Hi Kripa……Kripa looked at the phone stunned……..how did he know it was her……She slowly took deep breathe….

K: Hi……

A: I was waiting for your call…..

K: Mein tumse milna chahti hun Angad…..can you meet me in Star bucks near prithvi's house in 1/ 2 hour…?

A: Sure why not…..I too wanted to meet you……….

K: Thik hai……I will be there…..bye…..she said keeping the phone immidiately, her hands shivered a little……Angad stared at the phone…….and kept the phone trying to control his feelings…….His anger…….

Kripa called Sheetal and let her know that she would be back in an hour or so……and soon left…..She reached the caf and found Angad sitting there looking at the other side of the caf…….She took a deep breathe, though her heart was beating rapidly…….She walked in with shaky legs……As soon as the door opened, Angad looked her way and time stilled…….She tried to smile, but couldn't, his cold face making her more nervous than before…….She walked to him numbly trying to compose her self a little…….This was the man who she had loved, with whom she had shared everything with, with whom she had created a beautiful baby girl, and now she was getting cold feet……..

A: Nice to meet you…..he said smiling at her…..But his smile did not reach his eyes…..His eyes were cold…….She shivered…….this was not the person, she had shared her most intimate and beautiful moments with……How are you? Bhaithogi nahi? He asked showing her the chair…..Kripa sat there quietly without a word……She looked down, thinking about how to start a conversation when Angad's voice bought her back.……acha hua Kripa tum ayi, tumhe kisi se milana tha.…….I am happy that you are settled and happy in your life……He said coldly…..It is good that you have moved on, because I have too….I have found a life partner as well who suited better for my life style and beliefs I guess……he said smirking……Kripa looked up at him stunned……..But Angad was not looking at her and slowly Kripa looked at the person he was looking at…..A girl of her age or little more was walking to them with a grin……..

S: Here is your black coffee baby…..she said giving him his glass……putting a hand on his shoulder……Her delicate fingers caressing his hairs…….Her proper polished nails unlike Kripa, told her how very upto date and sophisticated she was…….

A: Thanks love…..Meet Kripa, my long time neighbor and friend……Kripa looked at him shocked for the way he introduced her…..friend and neighbor? Was that it? Was she just that?…..Kripa meet Simone, my fiance, the love of my life, my sweet heart…..We are going to get married soon…….he said holding Simone's hand and smiling at her looking at his ring in her hand and kissing it lightly…….Kripa got up from her chair stunned, looking at them and the ring on Simone's finger……Angad raised his eyebrows……Kripa could not believe what he was saying……She stared at him in disbelief……He was engaged to some one else? He loved someone else? Then what was that she shared with him three years back….? Was that just a passing attraction……? Or something even less?

S: Hi Kripa….Nice to meet you…..Simone said smiling at her…..Kripa looked at the her……Yes, She was beautiful, stylish, modern and very much suited to Angad's life style……..She looked away blinking back her tears…..No, she would not break down now……Not infront of him, she thought composing her self……She gathered her thoughts and tried to smile……

K: Hi….congrats to both of you…..she said smiling……looking at her and then at Angad, who was still smirking……

S: Thanks…..

K: Mein chalti hun Angad…..Hope you have a nice life ahead and congrats once again…..she said taking her purse…..

S: Hey why don't you join us for coffee……Simone stopped her with a grin….…Angad darling, why don't you ask her to stay…..After all she is your friend……..she said kissing his cheeks…..Kripa looked away trying to breathe……

Angad smiled and looked at Kripa…….He was satisfied at her reaction……Yeah, she was as much disturbed by this news as he had been…….He was satisfied to see her tears……He had been awaiting this moment……he did not want her explanation now…...It was too late as and then…….Might be her dad must have forced her, but she should have atleast contacted him, but no, she had gone with it and now happily settled…….He did not want her explanation or sympathy……He just wanted to show her that he had moved on as she had and he did not need her in his life……He could do much better than her…..He thought angrily……Now the scores were settled…..He could go back to his life as it was before he met her and forget her forever………

K: No, Thanks, Simone…..I need to hurry…..My daughter is waiting…..Bye Angad….she said without looking at him…..And walked out of the caf…….Her heart bleeding……her eyes filling with tears…….She could not breathe……She felt too choked to say a word……She wiped a tear that fell from her eye and ran to her car…..She started the car and reversed it and drove off without looking back……..

Angad kept staring at her till she disappeared…….He had seen her wiping her tears and his eyes filled too…..But he blinked them angrily……And tasted the bitter coffee…….Simone was looking at the ring he had given her couple of days ago and smiling……Yeah, he was good with Simone…..As and then there was nothing common he shared with Kripa……She was too Indian and too everything……Simone was well suited to him……He would be happy too…….He did not need her……..He thought gulping the hot coffee…….

Kripa drove straight home and ran to her room and closed her door…….She fell on the bed crying her heart out…….Her heart breaking into pieces…….All her dreams, her hope, her love shattered before her…….The person she had waited for 3 years just told her that he had moved on……..that he had met a better match than her who suited him…….? Then why did he tell her he loved her? Why did he play with her heart……..? She shut her eyes tightly shutting the images from her mind…..Now what was she going to do….She had been living a lie for 3 years, just in a hope that once Angad would come back, everything would be ok…….She had waited for him, just to let him fulfill his dreams, be successful so he could not regret his love ever…….But the wait was over, he wasn't coming back to her…….He was too far from her reach…….He did not love her…!!! The thought made her nauseus……She had prayed for him, lived for him, lied to her parents…….She had betrayed their trust and then lied for 3 full years……..Her parents….what would she tell them……she knew now she had no other option but to tell them the truth about her marriage…..about Josh…about Anjali……..And she did not want to continue this lie any more…….She was already burdened with guilt…..Atleast she had hoped that Angad would come and they would ask for forgiveness together and get married……But now, what hope did she have……nothing…..So, why should she say more lies……what would she get……Was she ready to keep lying to them all her life…..No, never……She would be too choked to even live a day now……and Josh..…He had his life…….He had fulfilled his duty as a friend……..but she needed to do it now……She sat near the bathtub and throwed up, tensed all of a sudden……

No, now she could not lie to her parents any more……they deserved to know the truth……She would not reveal the truth about Angad, but just her and Josh's truth…….Angad was nothing to her now…..He was tying the knot with someone else……..She wanted to go shout at him, ask him why he betrayed her this way, Why didn't he reply her mails, answer her calls, tell him about his daughter……She wanted to shout at him asking him why he moved forward with her, if he did not want to stay by her side……But she was aware that people here considered this type of relationship very common and it wasn't such a big deal to him…….And Angad she knew, was very much adopted to this culture and almost hated Indian customs, rituals and culture, and for him it might have really not been that big a deal, to share a bed with her for a night………But for her, it had changed her life……still she had stayed put just for him, for his happiness, and what did she get? Suddenly, another fear caught her attention……What if he file for custody here, if he knew about his daughter……She had heard so many stories here……If his love was so shallow then there was a possibility that he might…….No….panic surged her heart…….He was the CEO of one of the top 5 software consulting companies of the world……..If this news would spread then she would not be able to live in peace any where…….No, she could not reveal his name to anyone, neither could she tell him about the baby…….If he did not love her, then what was the use any way…..Tears kept coming …….Slowly after an hour or so, she got up and gathered her self…..Sheetal would be back with Anjali and she did not want Sheetal or Anjali to see her this way…….

She washed her face and slowly came out, feeling too tired…….She needed to tell her parents first and time was never better than now…….If she would wait for Josh to tell, he would stop her……So, she decided to call them…….Her mom took the phone on the first ring and started talking to her happily telling her about Sneha……

K: Ma, mein aap se kuch kehna chahti hun……she suddenly said stopping her in mid…….No more lies…….she was tired of them, showing them how happy she was with the make believe family…..Her dream had just shattered a few minutes ago…..Her dream would not be a reality now…..Time for the truth…..It was better this way……..Slowly she told her mother about her and Josh's relationship……About Anjali and atlast told her sorry for all the lies…….Gayatri stood there stunned with disbelief……..She did not know what to say…..Even Surya who was behind her, heard everything and was stunned as well………Then suddenly his eyes turned red with anger……

S: Ek baat aab kaan khol kar sun lo Kripa……..Tum humare liye mar chuki ho……Aur hum tumhare liye…….Agar phir kabhi iss ghar ki taraf dekhogi bhi ya hum me se kisise baat bhi karogi, to mera mara muh dekhogi………He said angrily and throwed the phone down in anger……Gayatri stood there dumbfounded looking at him…….Suddenly she sat down and looked at the empty place before her…….As tears started forming in her eyes……She looked at Surya who was walking up angrily……...She could not hold much more and burst out crying……..

Gauri who was outside with Sneha found Gayatri crying her heart out sitting down…..

G: Ma…..she asked running to her and taking her in her arms with concern……Kya hua……She asked holding her close…..Boliye na ma…..kya hua…..Pratham too came with Sneha and was taken aback to see Gayatri crying………Both tried to ask her, but she could not speak a word……Pratham ran up to talk to his dad, but the room was locked…….He tried to call him many times…..but he would not answer…….He ran down and asked Gayatri again…..telling her to tell what the matter was…..as Surya was not openening the door……..Slowly Gayatri told them about Kripa and his fathers words and started crying all over again…..Pratham got up stunned……He could not believe what she was saying…..Kripa had lied to them all these years…..? She had been the most sensitive and obedient daughter and sister, any one could ask……She had told them such a big lie?…….And who was the boy with whom……? He angrily went to the phone and started dialing her number when Surya stopped him angrily from the staircase……

S: Khabardar agar tumne kabhi uussase baat karne ki koshish ki Pratham……..Tumhe bhi kahe deta hun…….Aaaj se uska iss ghar ke sath koi rishta nahi hai…..Agar kisine rishta jodne ki koshish ki to mera mara muh dekhoge……aur iske age mein aur kuch sunana nahi chahta…….Mar gayi woh humare liye……Aab woh jiye ya mare, hume ussase koi matlab nahi……..Samjhe……he said looking at them angrily and walked out of the house……….

The house was in total silence…….Sneha, who was standing near the door frightened, started crying…..Pratham indicated Gauri to take her to her room…….Gauri left Gayatri with concern and shocked at the turn of events…...Pratham went to his mother and hugged her as tears flowed from his eyes…….

Back to Kripa, she looked at the phone speechless…….There were no more tears in her eyes….She knew this was going to happen…….She was bracing her self for this……..And she got her fill…….She was getting punished for breaking their trust……She was getting punished for giving them so much grief…..And she was being punished for loving some one dearly……..She wiped her tears…..This was her punishment……..She had to stay alone for the rest of her life……Suddenly, she felt suffocated…..She had to go back to India…….She could not stay here any more…..….She wiped her eyes and called the airlines……..Luckily Anjali had her Indian PIO………She gave them details and asked the first available flight to India…...To her luck, she got the bookings for the flights 5 hours from now……..She quickly took out the suitcase and packed few Indian clothes and Anjali's clothes…..She took all what she needed along with her and Anjali's passport…….

She slowly walked out with two bags in her hands……..Sheetal was busy playing some games with Anjali, when she walked out……Sheetal got up with a frown, when she saw the bag in her hand…..

Sh: Kripa, kahin ja rahi ho? She asked going near her……The bell rang and Kripa opened the door ……The cab driver told her that he was waiting and Kripa nodded……Kripa?

Kripa looked up with tears in her eyes and went and hugged her……..

K: Thanks for everything you did for me Sheetal…….Ye chitti Josh ko please de dena…….Keh dena ki mein wapas India ja rahi hun……I am leaving this country for good with Anjali….Sheetal looked at her stunned……..

Sh: Achanak……

K; Kabhi kabhi zindagi mein kuch decisions achanak lene padte hai Sheetal……I know that you and Josh love eachother……I wish you both very best of luck……Josh ne mera bahot sath diya hai…..usse kehna ki ussase acha dost to mujhe kahin nahi milega…..Uska sath kabhi mat chodna…..She said holding her hand and then giving her the keys of the house…...Yeh ghar aur Josh ko sambhalna……Aliyah ka bhi behen jaise dhyan dena……Aur Ishaan Uncle ko sorry keh dena…….Aur haan Prithvi aur Tanya ko kehna ki mein unhe kabhi nahi bhulungi…..Please, roko mat mujhe……mujhe aaj jana hoga……She said lifting Anjali…..The cab driver took her luggage and kept it in the car…….Kripa looked at Sheetal tearfully and went behind the cab driver and sat in the car..……

Sh: Kripa…..She called out stunned as the car started going…..She tried to run with tears, but the car was gone in minutes……..She ran in the house and called Josh in panic……

Sh: Josh…..kripa…..Jaldi aoo na Josh…..Woh Kripa chali gayi….

J: Calm down Sheetal…..Kahan chali gayi…..Kya hua? He asked getting up taking his keys……..

Sheetal told him about Kripa's decision and her departure in the car……Josh stunned ran down the stairs in his office……He ran all the way down and went to his car……..

J: Sheetal, tum taiyar raho…..mien aa raha hun…..….hum abhi chalte hain airport……stop crying…..ok…..We will bring her back.…..He said his hands held on to the steering wheel tightly……

Winthin 15 minutes Josh picked Sheetal and they were on their way to the airport……..

After an hours drive they reached the airport…..They quickly parked and ran in and asked about the passanger named Kripa…….They did not have any information about her flight or the number, except that the flight was for India…….Josh requested to announce her name as it was very important……After lots of plea they nodded and announced Kripa's name couple of times……But there was no reply……Josh ran one side of the airport and Sheetal the other side…..They looked everywhere they could but there was no sign of Kripa……Josh closed his eyes with pain, he could not believe that Kripa would go away this way……..suddenly he felt a hand on his arm, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Kripa with Anjali in her arms…..His grief turned to anger…..

J: Kya samajhti ho apne aap ko Kripa…….Aise koi jata hai bhala……Kya soch kar itna bada decision itni jaldi aise le liya tumne……itna bhi nahi socha ki hum par kya bitegi…….Ek baar mujh se baat karna jaruri bhi nahi samjha tumne…….He asked angrilywith tears in his eyes……..

Kripa closed her eyes and hid her pain……..She opened and slowly smiled at him…….

K: Achanak aaj ye mehsus hua, ki jis insaan ke liye itne saal raah dekh rahi thi, woh to mera kabhi tha hi nahi…..she said sadly……Aur aab iss desh mein bhi kuch nahi raha……

Josh looked at her with a frown………

J: Matlab kya hai iska Kripa…..what are you talking about…….

K: Matlab mein tumhe samjha nahi paungi aur tum samjh nahi paooge…..Issiliye aaj abhi ye desh chod kar humesha ke liye ja rahi hun…..Acha hua ki aa gaye……tumhe bina mile gayi hoti to kabhi chain nahi milta….Mein ne mama papa ko saab kuch bata diya hai…..Jiska daar tha wahi hua……Unhone mere sath sare rishte tod diye…..Shayad mere jhoot ki yahi sajja hai…….she said looking away and blinking her tears……Josh looked at her stunned…….Kripa smiled at him sadly…..Aab meri chinta mat karo…Mein apna dhyan rakh sakti hun aur Anjali ka bhi.….Aur aab mujhe tumhari chinta bhi nahi rahegi….She said smiling looking at Sheetal behind him…..She indicated her come near with a tearful smile……Aunty ne mera hath tumhare hath mein saunpa tha, ussi haat se aaj mein tumhara hath Sheetal ke hath mein rakhti hun……Tumhe akela chod kar nahi ja rahi hun……Tumhare pyar ke sath chod kar ja rahi hun…..Aur aaj mein bhi akeli nahi hun……Ye hai na mere sath….she said hugging Anjali closing her eyes with pain.…..Issiliye tum bhi meri chinta mat karo……she said looking at him..…Itni din mera sath diya……shukriya keh kar isse bhula nahi dungi…..Apne dil mein tum saab ka pyar lekar ja rahi hun, humesha sath rakhungi…..She said with tears…..Josh and Sheetal had tears in their eyes……Josh started saying something, but Kripa stopped him…..Please Josh, aab roko mat mujhe…..ek din tumhare kehne par mein tumhare sath ayi thi……Bas tasali iss baat ki hai, ki kum se kum tumhe akele nahi chodungi……She said hugging him lightly…..I have to go Josh…..There is nothing left for me here…..The person I love belongs to some one else now…….She said looking at him with tears…Josh looked at her stunned……His fingers formed in fists and his face turned from disbelief to anger……..Nahi Josh, please, I love him, Yeah I still do……she said looking at his face which showed his disbelief…...Shayad tumhari tarah mera bhi pyar ek tarafa tha…..I wish him luck in his life…..She said smiling……Usne itna pyara toffa jo diya hai mujhe…..Phir kaise mein ussase nafrat kar sakti hun…….Uska pyar na sahi humari beti ka pyar to hai na mere paas……

Josh looked away blinking his tears……

J: Tell me who he is Kripa……Just one name…..Kripa shook her head chuckling, he had tried to ask so many times and knew he would never know him…..And tears flowed from Josh's eyes……Kripa wahan akele karogi kya? Kaise manage karogi…..

Kripa chuckled……Josh tum bhul rahe ho, I am a very well know singer now……I can fulfill my dreams to be the best…..she said remembering Angad's words……Don't worry about me…..I will be fine……Tumhare sath rehkar, I am quite confident……Thanks to you that, I am not as weak or dependent as before……Mein apna khayal rakh sakti hun…..Stop worrying…..

J: I can't help it Kripa…….You just can't say that and expect me to do as you say……It is not in my hands……Kripa chuckled and nodded wiping her tears…..Mein baat karunga Kripa, uncle aunty se……I am sure they will forgive you…..or rather us…..

K: Nahi Josh, papa ne apni kasam khilayi hai, kaha ki agar mein unse ya ghar par kisi se bhi baat karne ki koshish bhi ki, to unka mein mara muh dekhungi……I can't let that happen Josh……He is my dad, he is the person responsible for my existence……pehle hi bahot dukh diye hain meine unhe, bas aab aur nahi ……Please don't even try, if you really consider me as a friend, don't ever do it……Forget every one…..live your life as you should……She slowly wiped his eyes……

K: Aise nahi Josh…..promise me, you will live life to the fullest as you always did..…..as your mom wanted you to have……Humesha muskurate rehna….Aab to muskurane ki wajah bhi mil gayi…..I promise, India settle hote hi I will mail you……

J: Promise? He asked with tears…..kripa nodded and hugged him again…..Josh took Anjali and hugged her kissing her cheeks…...Kripa then went and hugged Sheetal…..

K: Apni shadi ke photos mail karna mujhe…….She said chuckling…..Bye….she said smiling at them taking Anjali from him and standing back……She slowly turned around and started leaving………

J: Hey beautiful…….Kripa chuckled through her tears stopping for a second and then turning back…..I will miss you…..He whispered looking at her with tears……

K: I will miss you too Josh…..she said with tears……Bye……She whishpered walking through the security……Josh stood there till she disappeared holding Sheetal in his arms, his eyes filled with tears and his heart with despair and anger……She still loved the guy and did not want to hear any thing bad for him……How could a guy leave such a wonderful girl, who was the guy, who could mess a life of such a sweet wonderful person…….It was beyond his bilief.…..Sheetal was still in tears and looking at the way Kripa disappeared……She had loved Anjali like her daughter…….She had come here from India, for her studies and then needed a job……And some how in these three years she had become a dear friend and he had started having feelings for her……He hugged her tightly……True to Kripa's words, she did not leave him alone……she had made sure of it…….He looked once more in the way she had gone with tears and slowly pulled Sheetal with him and walked back with heavy heart…...

Sh: Josh roka kyun nahi usse…….She said crying in his arms……..

Josh hugged her tightly……

J: Pata nahi Sheetal, par uski ankhon mein jo dard tha, shayad yahan reh kar aur badh jata……let her go……May be some day she will be back again…….I am sure Uncle Aunty ek baar shant ho jayenge, to uske liye puchenge jaroor…….They will bring her back some day……She has suppressed her tears for so long, not even letting me in…….She is feeling suffocated here……Bas ek baar uss insaan ka naam mil jaye, I am going to kill him for sure……He said angrily…….Sheetal cried in his arms as Josh took her near their car and made her sit……They drove off home silently in their own grief……..

Kripa sat back in her flight and saw as the flight took off……She closed her eyes, trying to suppress her tears…...She had been stronger for her love till now, and now she had her daughter…….

It's just so touching!! You have wonderfully potraied it even the adieu at airport.

Great update! Had me in tears! Trust Angad to not understand her but I hope all the mis-understandings are cleared up between the two! Looking forward to the next update :)

part 20
OMG that was so touching...
poor Kripa...
and i honestly dont have words to shout at Angad...
well couldnt he at least ask her and talk to her before introducing Sheetal and giving her the ring?
well he will never get his daughter's love...
thats his punishment and anyways he being so American he might not feel that much too...
poor Kripa her family has disowned her...
well her family is so traditional cant blame them and she had hid the truth for 3 years...
Angad se pyaar karke Kripa ko kya khushi limi siwaye Anjali...
let him grovel and repent for sometime...
and what happened to the damn mails Kripa had sent him and the phone calls?
am gonna kill Angad for sure...
cont ASAP di...

PS
forgot about Maahi and Shabd...
Maahi is gonna regret later and hope she will realize that career is not that important more than family...
and punish Angad so much Di...
and Josh very glad that he has fallen in love with Sheetal and he has been a great friend...
and hope Angad is never forgiven by at least few people...
let him know the meaning of love, relation, friendship, feelings and family...

speechless no words di only crying why this happen ? now dont know how all things going well
