Chapter Ten
"That's good, that's good Piya but Virat you need to concentrate more" Kripa said pressing her hand to his back to straighten his posture "don't slouch, stand a straighter"
Virat nodded in concentration standing upright, practicing the dance move Kripa had just explained. Kripa smiled when he complied then turned around to observe the other kids.
After a few minutes of watching the children practice she stopped them moving onto the next step "alright kids" she started hands on hips "boys you spin the girls out then back in. Then we do the same on the other side"
"But we will get dizzy" Sur worried innocently
Kripa cracked a smile "no you won't. Watch my hands. Let's say I'm Rohan" she stood straight, her right hand extended midair as if holding someone, her left arm curved in front of her "with his right hand he will take Diya's left hand pushing her towards his right " she said dipping her right hand low then stretching it straight towards her right "then you spin her back in, you pull at her hand towards yourself but this time Rohan's hands should curve around Diya" her hands pulled towards herself ending with a circular motion of her arm "do you understand?"
Half of them nodded while the others still looked confused. Kripa bit her lip then repeated her actions and words with Diya's role to give them a better picture.
Angad smiled faintly watching the children look confused and muddled with the dance movements. He knew he should have stepped in to help but he also knew she would refuse his help. She was very sensitive to him at the moment. His every movement, every glance affected her.
"Angad" he looked around to see who called him "Angad, over here son"
He looked to his right surprised to find the elder woman he had met yesterday peeking over the gates shamelessly "Umm hello aunty" he greeted a little awkwardly
She smiled widely "Hello, what are you doing right now? If you're free you can come over for tea. Ananya's home as well"
"Oh, I'm fine aunty. I've just had breakfast a while ago so I won't be able to drink tea at the moment" he replied completely ignoring her comment about her daughter being home. He had smiled and encouraged her talks yesterday to bother Kripa but he was seriously not interested in her daughter or anyone who wasn't Kripa.
"Oh don't be like that" Naina whined "come over. You'll love my tea and Ananya is really good company"
Smiling tightly he glanced towards Kripa who was now watching him with a big frown "I can't leave at the moment aunty. Its practice time so we're sort of busy"
"Busy! But you're not doing anything. Kripa's fine with the kids. Come on" she exclaimed
"I'm really sorry aunty but I will have to decline this time. Look Kripa needs help over there so I'll see you later"
Naina nodded in disappointment still keeping a close eye on Angad who was now walking in the direction of Kripa feeling self-conscious
"You need help showing the kids the dance step?" he mumbled glancing back at the wooden fence
Kripa gnashed her teeth in unknown frustration "yes I need help but you didn't notice earlier because you were too busy talking to Naina aunty"
He sighed rolling his eyes "I wasn't making conversation, I was being polite. Now let's show the kids the step" he said taking her by the waist
She frowned when his hands tightened at her waist when she wriggled "you're supposed to be helping me" she muttered
He grinned looking down at her "I'm helping you" he murmured "just on my terms. Alright Kids" he clapped getting the attention of the yapping children "Me and Kripa will show you the dance movement, and then you all copy. If you still don't understand we'll come around and work with each pair, okay!"
"Right" they answered watching the two with great concentration
"Ready" he mumbled taking Kripa's left hand in his right, his other arm circling her slim waist
"Ready" she nodded leaning into the embracing dance. His right hand dipped low pushing her to his right, her hands extended in open gesture then she rolled into his arms when he pulled her back, circling her body with his right arm.
Her breathe hitched in her throat staring up into his eyes while he stared down intensely. They were so close, it made their breath mingle. It made her uncomfortable, yet it was comforting in an odd way.
"Your beautiful" he mumbled pressing a silent kiss to her ear. She shivered in response moving out of his loosened arms. He smiled knowingly knowing exactly how she felt at that moment "alright kids. I hope that helped. Spin out and then back in then spin out on the other side and back in. Simple. Now I want you all to practice that move. We'll come around in a few minutes to check you're doing it right" he announced before they all nodded enthusiastically working on the dance step they all just witnessed.
"Mhmm huh" Kripa yawned walking down the stairs, her throat parched. Her eyes moved to glance outside. It was dark outside, the stars twinkling in the sky. Rubbing her eyes she paused at the bottom of the stairs, her thoughts going back to the silent intimacy she shared with Angad.
She had to admit he was a sweet guy. His sensitivity and caring nature was proved to her on more than one occasion but she still hesitated when he was around her. She felt stuck and helpless at times. She couldn't bring herself to argue with him the way she had at first yet she couldn't give herself up in front of him. There was still something stopping her subconsciously
Her hands moved to caress the ear he had kissed earlier that day. Her heart had stopped beating for a minute, beating rapidly the very next moment. He had that effect on her every time he was close, every time he stepped forward daring to touch her, kiss her.
Shaking her head she sighed pushing her hair out of her face "I need to stop thinking about him so much" she murmured walking towards the kitchen. She gasped in shock when she found the object of her thoughts leaning against the counter biting a banana. She heaved with a hand on her chest "you scared me" she muttered walking towards the fridge
He chuckled throwing the banana peel in the bin "sorry"
Smiling slightly she turned towards him, gulping water from the cool water bottle "What are you doing here anyways?"
He shrugged "nothing, just a little hungry"
"Oh" her nose wrinkled in response "you want me to make you something?"
"Naaa, a banana will do. I'm guessing you're thirsty" he said gesturing towards the half empty bottle in her hand
"Yeah" she mumbled screwing the cap on the water bottle
"Wait, I'm thirsty" he said grabbing the bottle from her hand
"Angad" she protested when he opened the bottle "you shouldn't drink water after eating fruit and I used that bottle"
"It's okay, nothing will happen" he assured "and I know you drank from this bottle. It tastes much better now that your lips have touched the bottle"
She frowned at his comment, the fast drumming of her heart starting all over again "Angad, please. You need to stop flirting with me or whatever it is you are doing. It's not right"
"What's not right about it?" he said stepping closer to her, I like you, and I know you like me. What's wrong with this?" his hands moved to her hip, pulling her closer
"Angad" she struggled, hitting his chest "stop it. Enough is enough. It's not funny anymore. Stop touching me okay" she yelled pushing him away "stop being such a pervert"
"Pervert?" he grimaced "you think I'm a pervert?"
"Yes, precisely just that. You're touching me with every chance you get. I've told you before and I'm telling you again. Don't touch me"
"Look Kripa I didn't mean to—"
"No Angad, I'm not joking. I don't like you touching me. You shouldn't be touching me. You don't have the right to…"
He gnashed his teeth in fury. He felt humiliated and disappointed. He knew for sure what he read in her eyes was not wrong. He knew she had feelings for him yet she turned around and called him a pervert "I'll show you what a pervert is" his arms went around her, crushing her soft chest to his hard one. He trapped her struggling hands between their bodies, his right hand moving roughly over her curves.
He knew what he was doing was wrong. Touching her this way would upset her gravely but he was angry and upset. How could she accuse him of being a pervert? Could she not see what he felt for her? Could she not see the love and affection he held for her.
"Angad" she exclaimed trying to move out of his grasp "stop it"
"No--no you listen to me"
"I don't want to listen to you. Leave me"
His right hand pushed onto her hip, his face moved towards hers till she was a breath away "I wasn't trying to be a pervert. I like you, maybe even love you but you're always trying to run away or your too busy arguing with me. You know what you're just scared to accept what's in your heart. Your scared to lose that heart to me" he said pointing to her chest " If I was a pervert I would have forced you into doing much more by now" his grip tightened around her "You have a problem with me touching you, teasing you. Fine" he released her suddenly "I won't touch you. I won't talk to you about anything that's not work but I'm not a pervert" he muttered "I'm no pervert" he whispered. Growling in frustration he swept his hands through his hair, glared at her shaken form and turned on his feet to stomp back to his room.
Kripa watched him trembling, shaken as a single tear made its way down her pink cheek. A sob left her throat while she slid to her feet crying. She could still feel his hands rub against her roughly. The force had felt horrible.
She bit her lip feeling guilty for accusing him of being a pervert. She knew his intentions were not bad but every time he stepped close, every time he touched her it scared her to the core. He was right. She was scared to open up her heart. She had always been in control of her senses but Angad made her lose sanity. She felt like jelly when he stood in front of her whispering, teasing, touching. She lost her senses, she got sucked into a twisted frenzy she loved but hated all at the same time. She was afraid to let go.
She sat on the kitchen floor for a long time thinking over what had happened, thinking about what he felt, what she would say to him the next time she saw him.
"I'm fine mom. It's nice to be back in Masoori"
Roshini smiled softly "that's good; just make sure you take care of yourself. You tend to forget yourself at times. Have you met any of the neighbors?"
Kripa frowned thinking back to Naina "Yeah, I met Naina aunty. Honestly mom she's still the same. She's a big nosy parker"
"Kripa" her mother scolded lightly "what have I told you before. Ignore her. You know her nature; she won't change if we say anything. It will just make you look bad so smile and bear it"
"I know mom but still what's it to her. She watched me the whole time yesterday when we were practicing the dance steps"
"Well there's not much you can do is there?" Roshini tapped her fingers against the kitchen counter "And how are the kids and Angad?"
Kripa paused a minute before answering. Angad still wasn't talking to her. He was giving her the silent treatment. He had sat and ate cereal in the morning when she had made him Paratha's. He was avoiding any contact with her. At the current moment he was going over the song the children were going to perform "there good" she mumbled "practicing the song at the moment so I'm taking a break"
"Mhmm, be careful okay. Take care of yourself"
"Yes mom, don't worry. Bye"
"Bye"
Kripa frowned at her mother's tone. Of course she had told her to be careful before but her tone was implying something completely different. She knew her mother wanted her to be careful of Angad. Her mother had somehow sensed the tension between them and continued to warn her ever since.
She wondered why her mother was so worried. Angad wasn't a bad boy. He was very respectable towards his elders and had never really teased her as badly in front of her mother. Not that she didn't worry about Angad; his constant teasing and closeness had her rather worried. The previous night was an obvious result of it.
"Kripa Ma'am" Tara came running huffing and puffing
"What's wrong Tara?" Kripa asked worried
"Abheer and Virat are fighting downstairs" she explained anxiously
"Oh" she mumbled "come on" she said taking Tara's hand. She stopped at the door gazing at the scene before her. Angad Sat kneeled between the two pouting boys. The two looked at each other crossly, a big frown on their faces while they crossed their arms at their chest clearly showing there were in no mood of listening.
Her eyes turned back to Angad who looked at the boys just as fiercely. His jaw was set as he held both boys by the arm to keep them apart.
"All of you go play in the garden" Angad instructed watching the two boys steely "I want you both to apologize to each other right now" he instructed glaring at the two boys "this isn't a way to behave at all. While you're here you behave. I didn't bring you here to fight. I brought you here for the competition but the way you two are behaving we should just disqualify you"
The two gasped, there frowns still intact as they looked at Angad seriously, hoping he was only joking "he started it" Virat muttered pointing towards Abheer
Abheer looked back angrily "no, it's his fault. He kept telling me I was a weakling"
Virat answered nonchalantly "well he still hit me first"
Angad sighed shaking his head "Both of you quiet" he commanded "Virat you shouldn't be calling anyone anything. How would you like it if I called you a weakling?"
"I wouldn't react" he shrugged "he just over reacted"
"No you would have reacted worse" Angad retorted "You have been misbehaving from the very first day of this trip. I will be having a serious word with your father" Virat scowled in response "No Virat, don't show me attitude" Angad warned "you both have really disappointed me today. This isn't the behavior I want to be dealing with on this trip" Abheer looked down feeling guilty while Virat looked away "and Abheer, just because Virat said something doesn't mean it's true, instead of hitting him you should have come and told me or Kripa Ma'am. Because you hit Virat it makes you just as bad"
"I'm sorry Sir" Abheer apologized "I won't do it again"
Angad smiled slightly patting his head then turned his eyes towards Virat who continued looking away.
"Virat, if you forgive and forget you'll have a very big heart" Kripa mumbled walking towards the trio "I know Abheer hit you but you knew your words were provoking him. If you didn't say those words he wouldn't react that way at all. Look Abheer will tell you he's sorry but you need to wipe that big frown off your face and apologize as well. You were both wrong" she said cupping hi cheek
Virat pouted slightly but nodded in agreement. He turned around looking at Abheer "Sorry" he muttered
"I'm sorry too" Abheer replied
Kripa smiled softly watching the two boys make up. Her face turned to glance at Angad. The smile playing on his lips dropped as he quickly looked away. She sighed biting her lip. He'd kept his word. He hadn't spoken a word to her since last night but she found herself troubled. She knew her words had been harsh last night. None of them were true yet she called him things he didn't deserve. He had every right to be angry at her but it was really getting to her now.
She glanced him cautiously before she tumbled right into his lap with a shriek. He caught her instinctively, concern displayed on his handsome face "You okay?" he asked checking to see if she was hurt
Her cheeks rose, a big smile forming on her lips "Better now" she mumbled
Confusion filled his eyes at her smile then deepened into a frown when he realized. He lifted her off him and stood up then stopped when she tugged at his trouser "What?" he asked annoyed
"If you Forgive and forget it means you have a big heart" she murmured "And I know you have a big heart"
He cracked a smile at how cute she looked at that moment. It melted his heart "Well why do I need to forgive you? What right do I have?" he asked kneeling in front of her with raised brows
Her eyes lowered in shame, regretting her harsh word "I'm sorry" she muttered "You are none of the things I called you. You're a sweet guy" her eyes lifted looking directly into his golden brown orbs "Will you forgive me?"
He nodded in response "I forgive you" he whispered cupping her cheek "if you forgive me. I shouldn't have behaved like that with you last night"
She shook her head "No Angad, you were right. I am scared. I'm afraid" she mumbled "afraid to lose myself"
He blinked in understanding then moved forward pressing his lips to her forehead "Don't be afraid. I'll always be there, with you"
"Come on Sur, hurry up. Everyone has started rehearsal with Angad" Kripa called outside the changing rooms
"Coming Ma'am" Sur replied
After waiting several minutes Sur finally stepped out of the cubicle dressed in a silky white dress looking ever so nervous "what's wrong?" Kripa asked cupping her cheek "You've been in the stall for a while and you've been jumpy since this morning? Nervous?" She nodded quietly moving to hug Kripa around her waist "Oh Sur" she murmured pressing a hand to her upper back "you'll be fine, trust me"
"Kripa" they heard Angad yell "Is Sur out yet?"
"Coming" Kripa replied. She knelt before Sur cupping her baby face "You going to be okay?" Angad's started rehearsal with everyone. There all waiting for you"
She gulped in response taking a deep breathe then forced a smile "I'm okay"
"That's my girl. I'm here if you need anything, okay" Kripa said kissing her head "come on" she said taking her hand
The two walked backstage where Angad had all the students rehearsing. Sur gazed at them nervously then looked up at Kripa. Kripa smiled gently patting her on her back in reassurance
"Sur" Angad called once he noticed her "come on, you need to rehearse before you go on stage"
Soon enough all the children were busy rehearsing the performance while Angad and Kripa stood to a side watching them "What took you guys so long?" Angad asked quietly, his eyes still watching the children
Kripa turned to glance at him then moved to gaze at the singing and dancing children "Nerves" she murmured "she's been jumpy all day. She's nervous"
"Oh" he wrinkled his nose "she okay now?"
"I don't know. She still seems tense" she shrugged
"We'll be there if they need us" he murmured with a faint smile gazing into her beautiful kohl lined eyes
She nodded smiling back "always"
Their heads turned at the commotion. The children were gathered around Sur who sat between them bawling, holding her grazed knee. They rushed to her aid at once.
"Sur" Kripa murmured pressing a kiss to her head "shhh"
"Here" Angad said passing Kripa the first aid kit "alright kids" he clapped his hands to get their attention "it's time for a break, let's get you back to the dressing room" he said ushering them towards the door
"Feel better?" Kripa asked caressing Sur's head. She had cleaned the gash on her knee, finishing off with a plaster. Sur nodded in response cuddling closer "that's good" she paused for a moment "Sur you shouldn't let your nerves get the better of you. I know you can do it. Angad knows how much potential you have. It doesn't matter if we win or lose. You just need to go out there and do your best, do what you feel is right"
"I'm sorry" she mumbled "I'll be more careful. I'm just scared. There's going to be a lot of people watching us today"
"Just pretend they're not there" Angad advised kneeling beside them "how's your knee?" he asked looking at her plastered knee
"It's better" she murmured a little shy
Angad smiled then tweaked her cheek "you know when I was younger I use to have stage fright"
"Really?" Sur asked in wonder "do you still have stage fright?"
"Naaa, my big brother pushed me on stage in high school. I was terrified. So many people just stared at me. I looked around in panic. No one was there to help me so I just closed my eyes"
"Then" she asked curiously
"Then everything just disappeared. It was just me and my music. I didn't win that competition but I got a round of applause and that's when I knew I could do it"
"Really" her eyes gazed at him adoringly
"Really" he smiled then laughed pressing a kiss to her head "now are you okay doing this?" he questioned glancing at the door leading to the main stage
She nodded smiling brightly "Yes, I can do it"
"That's my girl" he took her hand "come on now, let get back to everyone else"
Minutes later, they stood at the door leading the students onstage "All the best" Angad and Kripa wished before they were ushered onto stage by the stage manager
They stood in blissful silence watching the children with loving smiles "you know it was really sweet how you encouraged Sur" Kripa mumbled glancing towards Angad
His lips lifted "I'm glad I could help. It's not easy to go out there and perform, she's very brave to do that" His heart sped by a mile when Kripa smiled at him lovingly "you know, you weren't so bad yourself. You really do know how to look after kids" he complimented "I'd never be able to do all this alone" he mumbled taking her hand
Her breath caught in her throat when he touched her. She looked up into his warm chocolate brown eyes then looked away feeling shy. His tender eyes were filled with love and a passion she had yet to discover. He made her melt into a hot puddle of goo every time he gazed at her with those eyes.
The careful invisible wall she had built around her was crumbling to pieces. Every time he watched her, spoke to her, touched her, he was a step closer to her heart. She loved the hot and flushed feeling but deep inside she feared those crumbling walls.
She knew she liked him. She had a rather strong attraction but she had a strong feeling her mother despised him. The reason was still unknown to her. She had pondered over the matter many times but always found herself at a dead end.
Sighing she turned to watch the happy children dancing on their little toes while Angad stood next to her caressing her hand with tender love and care.
"That's great news" Maya exclaimed, a big smile gracing her lips "That's really good Kripa. Well done to all of you"
Kripa smiled into the phone "Thank you Dadi. I'm really happy their hard work paid off. They were a little disappointed they came second but then you know Angad. He worked his magic"
"Yeah, Angad can make anyone smile. So where are the kids now?"
"There asleep. I guess all the hard work tired them out" she mumbled twirling her hair around her fingers "Sur was really nervous before the performance but once she got on the stage she was an angel"
Maya chuckled in response "that's children for you. Okay Kripa, get some rest. You must be tired yourself and well done again. Tell Angad I'll call him tomorrow"
"Okay Dadi, will do. Good night"
"Good night"
Kripa sighed dropping her mobile on her bed. It sure had been a long day. She could feel the slight ache in her muscles she thought rubbing her neck. A slight smile graced her lips replaying Angad's display of affection towards the children. He absolutely adored them no doubt. He cared for them as if they were his own.
She sighed it was hard not to like him with all his lovable qualities. Sure his flirting was annoying and overboard at times but it wouldn't be Angad if all the flirting and teasing disappeared.
Her smile dropped remembering their argument from two days ago. She still felt guilty for her behavior. She had gone overboard and accused him of what not. His smiling face and ability to forgive and forget made her feel worse. She just didn't understand how he could act like nothing had ever happened.
Her breath caught while her head whipped around seeing Angad standing behind her holding up a coffee mug with a silly grin on his lips "thinking about me"
She flushed consciously turning to the window again "No. I ummm thinking about the – the kids" she mumbled
He smiled shaking his head then stepped beside her "they did well" he murmured handing her mug "I think they deserve a treat for all their hard work"
"Yeah, they definitely deserve it. Why don't you we take them to the park tomorrow. It's a few minutes away from here and there's a nice lake there as well"
"Hmmm I guess we could do that" silence fell between the two as they sipped on hot coffee gazing at the starry night "How's everything at home. You spoke to them?"
She nodded "Yeah, I spoke to Mama a few minutes ago" she sighed thinking back to her conversation
"What?" he asked with a raised brow
She shook her head "Nothing" she paused "it's just that mom doesn't understand I'm a grown up sometimes. She still treats me like a kid"
"She's just worried because she loves you" he shrugged "I mean look at me. I'm a grown man but before I came to this trip my mom gave me a whole list of instruction like I'm a still a kid. I guess it's just mothers"
"I know what you mean. It just seems to have increased now a days. She was upset about me coming to Masoori. She thinks I can't take care of myself" she pouted
"Kripa" he sighed placing his mug on the window sill "She only loves you. She cares for you and is only looking out for you"
"I know" she repeated "I know she does. Angad why didn't you try in the Music industry? There's a lot of opportunity out there and well you're pretty good at what you do?" she asked changing the subject
"I don't know" he shrugged leaning onto the window "Music was something I really enjoy doing. It never crossed my mind as competition. It's something I get pleasure out of. And plus I love kids"
"That's sweet. You've got a nice voice Angad. I haven't really heard you sing before"
"Well you were too busy finding reasons to argue with me till this trip" he teased
"No I wasn't. You're the one who use to start it" she argued crossing her arms at her chest
"No sweetheart. You just triggered off the wrong way"
"Angad" she growled
"Yes Kripa" he asked with a grin
"Go to hell" she yelled moving to walk away
"Kripa" he laughed pulling her arm. Her chest collided with his with the abrupt movement. An awkward silence covered the aura while they gazed at each other flabbergasted. A red hue covered their faces, she looked away feeling bashful "you're beautiful" he whispered watching her flushed cheeks.
Her already colored cheeks shaded darker, her thick lashes lowering while she tilted her head forward letting her hair curtain her pretty face
He smiled softly at the act of innocence, his hand reached forward cupping her heated cheek "You know I didn't lie that day when I told you I like you" he mumbled lifting her face "You really are something Kripa. I can't seem to get you out of my mind"
She pulled out of his grip feeling terribly shy. She wanted anger to overcome her but the bliss she felt swelling inside overwhelmed her, captured her mind. Stepping away from him she gazed outside at the tranquil twinkling stars. Her heart beat erratically in her chest feeling anything but serenity.
Her breathe hitched at the sudden loss of warmth at her nape. The cold breeze blew her dark tresses into her face "Angad" she whimpered when his hands touched her waist, sliding to her silk covered stomach.
"Hmmm" he pressed his nose to her fragrant neck, gliding up her jaw. She smelled like roses he thought caressing the side of her face with his lips
"Angad" she sighed "Angad please" she pleaded pulling away abruptly. She turned to face him with a failed attempt of a frown, instead she found herself melting in the dark pools of passion his eyes displayed "We shouldn't--" her words died at her lips gazing at him helplessly, confused and agitated all at once.
"This is right Kripa" he mumbled stepping closer. She stepped back until she was pressed against the large moonlit window "This feels right" His right hand touched her waist once again sliding to her lower back this time "You make me lose my mind every time I see you" His left hand slid to the back of her neck bringing her closer while his head tilted forward touching his forehead to hers "I love you Kripa" he murmured one last time before dipping forward, taking her lips as his possession.
He groaned in contentment tilting his head to a side, delving deeper. She stood pressed against him, her hands against his chest feeling terribly confused. Kissing him like this felt wrong but so right "Mhmm" she moaned when he pressed harder trying to push his tongue into her beautiful mouth. She gasped feeling his warm hands slide under her night shirt, opening her mouth to his invading mouth.
All her senses flew out of the window the moment his tongue touched hers. She closed her eyes sliding her arms around his neck, bringing him closer. Kissing him felt like heaven, the feeling of his manly lips moving against her soft lush lips, his tongue playing with hers while she touched his with a shy innocence.
Soon enough breathing became an issue and the two reluctantly parted, foreheads touching, breathing heavily. With the need of breath, sane thoughts came back to them, realizing what had just happened.
Kripa was the first to pull away looking anywhere but at him. He gazed at her frazzled state. Her hair was a slight mess, her eyes avoiding, her cheeks flushed and her lips were swollen, looking thoroughly kissed.
"Kripa" he whispered through his ragged breath "Kripa" he called again when she continued to avoid him, instead her arms rose to hug herself in self-consciousness "Kripa I'm sorry" he apologized suddenly replaying her harsh words from a few days ago "I shouldn't have done that"
Pressing her lips together she finally looked up at his guilt ridden face "it's okay" she whispered lowering her gaze again.
He gazed at her considerately. She didn't seem angry. She seemed more shy and bashful than angry. His lips lifted into a grin then dropped watching her fiddle with her fingers nervously. He should give her time before teasing he thought watching her constantly blinking lashes "Uhhh, Umm Goodnight I guess" he mumbled awkwardly before walking out of the room, leaving Kripa lost in deep thought about their precious few moments.
