INTA HAYATI
Part 12
Angad got down and before Kripa could open the door he opened the door for her... Khushi stood at the door with an amused smile... Angad and Kripa were welcomed with an Aarti by Ranveer's mom.. Angad dint want to stay there... But Ranveer pulled him inside.. While Khushi pulled Kripa inside the room very eager to know the previous night details...
"Dii Dii, bathiye na..."
"Sabr, mein poora din yahi hoon kahi nahi jaa rahi hoon, bolo.."
"Di, bataiye na"
"Kya Khushii.??"
*Hitting her shoulder*
"Di, wohi jo kal raat ko hua.."
"Kal raat ko..."
"Haan Di, kal raat ko jeeju ke saath" She said winking at her...
Kripa blushed when she remembered the morning incident, but Khushi took it in the other way...
"Oye hoye, kya sharma rahi hoo..!"
"Chal, aisa kuch nahi..."
"Haaww, iska matlab kuch nahi hua???"
"Khushii, enough now..."
At the same time Angad knocked the door to inform Kripa that he was leaving...
"Jeeju, how are u..?"
"Fine Khushi, wabba you..?"
While Kripa rolled her eyes at the accent he was using...
"Same here, jeeju.."
He gave a small smile to Khushi while turning towards Kripa to inform her that he was leaving... Kripa slightly nodded her head... In her mind "Who was stopping u...?"
Angad turned back to look at her while closing the door and pointed at Ranveer...
Kripa acted as if she didnt notice and turned around biting her finger..
"Kya hua Di, jeeju ja rahe hain isliye dil machal raha hain.., koi baat nahi, jaldi lene aajayenge.."
She opens the door and screams at Angad's retreating figure.. "Jeeju, jaldi aaiye apni life, i mean wife ko lene... Ab intezaar .."
Kripa places her palm on Khushi's mouth while Angad walks away silently musing... As he drove back, he felt something missing... The empty seat or her rolling of eyes and just way the she talks to herself... He got irritated at himself and pulled his hair in frustration, when he realised that if he takes a left turn he could reach his office... Ahh my first love, here i come... He relieved a sigh of relief.. Excited to finally visit his office after like almost 3 days, he zoomed his car in that direction..
The staff were in for a suprise when they saw Angad Khanna comin to office post wedding...
Everybody started to arrange everything in place, fearing the head...
"Bhai, aaj toh sab ki band bajne wali hain.." whispered everyone among themselves...
Angad entered and the first thing that irked him was when he didn't see Vicky infront of him..
VICKY
VICKY
..No response... No one had the guts to inform Vicky was on leave... Angad entered his office cabin, banged the door shut and dialed Vicky's number.. Only to hear the voice mail... It irked him even more when Paul came forward with the case details and informed Angad of Vicky's absence...
"WHAT THE HELL..? WHY DID HE TAKE A LEAVE WITHOUT INFORMING ME..?"
"Sir, he said it was a personal reason..."
" OKAY.. LEAVE.."
Paul made a swift exit, not wanting to bear the wrath of AK anymore... While Angad asked the Shipra angrily to present the files of the cases.. The case dates were nearing and there was pressure from the clients... Before the volcano could erupt in the office, Paul decided to call the great Mrs. Khanna herself... Kripa received the phone and realized she needed to get into action.. Vicky was not receiving the phone and she knew Angad wouldn't pay heed to her.. She gave a call to Dadi aS she knew Dadi would handle it...
"Di, kitni fikar lagi rehti hain aapko jeejaji ki.."
Ranveer's mum comes over and "kyun na lagegi, aakhir pati jo hain.."
Kripa gives a small smile and then they go downstairs for lunch... After lunch, all the family members from Kripa's extended family come over to bless the bride... Its almost 6 PM and everybody leave so that the two sisters have some time to themselves... On Khushi's insistence Raveer gets Kripa's favorite ice cream tub... And the siblings have a good time gobbling it up.. Khushi and Kripa are resting on the bed... When Khushi informs Kripa that she wants to do an attachment to complete her fashion designing course... Kripa promises her to check the best fashion houses in the city...
"Di, jeejaji ka recommendation bhi lejiye na... "
"Haan, ill ask him.."
Kripa didn't know that there was a fashion house was headed by the family she now belonged to... Angad would definitely recommend Khushii there...
Well soon it was 7 PM and almost time for Kripa to leave.. Angad left the office in the afternoon when Dadi blackmailed him to come home... He knew that it was Kripa's doing.. He was in no mood of going and picking up Kripa... He didnt want to see her face.. But he didnt have an option.. He laid on the bed and pulled the sheets over him pretending to sleep... The bed was filled with the sweet scent of Kripa and soon he fell asleep and was transformed into a trance like state.. . He closed his eyes and her face came into view.. That irritated him more but his mind and heart felt some sort of peace and he immediately feel asleep...
Meanwhile Kripa was waiting... Dadi point blank refused Arnav's pleas to go and pick up Kripa.. He sadly left for his room cursing in mind the stupid customs of the husband having to pick up the bride... Dadi enetered Angad's room and noticed him fast asleep.. She noticed the small smile on the corner on his mouth which seemed to have vanished for a long time... She didnt have the heart to wake him up.. Her face lit when she recalled Arnav's enthusiasm to go and fetch Kripa... She entered his room to find him furiously typing something on his cell phone..
"Laddu puttar, kyun phone pe gussa nikal rahe ho..? Kono baat naahi hain, tum jao.."
"What ?? Jao? Kaha??" he replied irately..
"Jaha jane ke liye tumra man itna bawla ho raha hain..?"
"You mean to pick up Khushi i mean uski behen, i mean bhabhi..? Really..?"
"Abhi Khushi bitya ke liye naahi.. Abhi tumri bhabhi ko le aao" she replied, clearly amused by the fast movements of her laddu...
"Yea whatever.. Thank you.. " He replied and jumped infront of the wardrobe trying to select something...
"Puttar, tujhe koi dekhne nahi aawat hain.. Kuch bhi pehenlo.."
Arnav, embarrassed to the core picked up his favorite shirt and left to the washroom to change.. He was out in a minute and while gelling his hair he asked
"Dadi, waise y isnt bhai going to pick her up..?"
"Kyunki woh so rahe hain.."
"Oh okey.."
He picked up his car keys and while humming a tune to himself something which he hadn't done in ages rushed to the parking lot to reach the Ranveer's house asap...
While Dadi raised her hand thanking Devi Maiyya for sending someone as Kripa in the house. A complete day had not passed since she had set her feet in the house and changes were already seen...
Arnav drove at a super fast speed and rushed over to the mansion... Ranveer welcomed him while his eyes were busy searching someone... Ranveer's mother asked him to sit for a while... Kripa saw that Angad had not come to pick her up and heaved a sigh of relief... Though somewhere in the corner of her heart she felt restless.. She just freshened up a bit and came downstairs with her hyper active sister who was desperate to come down... To meet her devar...!
Arnav kept on staring at Khushi, till Kripa noticed it and cleared her throat... Both of them quickly looked down and this didn't go unnoticed by Ranveer.. While his family chose to ignore it, he grinned inwardly...
Kripa after saying all her good byes went over to the parking lot... Ranveer handed her a parcel and asked her to give to Anju and before Khushi noticed it and started teasing him, he rushed away inside.. Though Arnav noticed it... He choose to keep mum about it... Khushi hugged Kripa and started shedding tears...
Arnav doing a face palm "Offo, ab shuru hogaya.."
Khushi turned and pinched him hardly making him go awww... While Kripa stood there smiling at the duo...
"Ab aap ijazat de toh bhabhi ko lekar jao..?"
"Haan, DI ko lekar jao.."
"Chaliye na BHABHI" he said while opening the door for her...
Kripa sat in while Khushi bent down upto her level to keep talking...
"Do u wanna hang on my car..?? Go inside.. "
"No i want to see till your car zooms off.."
"Ek minute se koi farak nahi padne wala hain, jao andar.."
"Tum order mat do mujhe...Mein chali jaungi why dont u go.."
Kripa spoke up "Arnav ek min ruko na, Khushi tu oopar ja khidki ke paas.."
"Yaayyy.. Thank you Di.." while giving a victorious look to Arnav she ran inside the house and directly to her room while Arnav smiled at her childishness...She stood there at the window waving at her sister while Arnav drove off.. As she closed her eyes she imagined a similar scene the only difference being she was sitting on the front seat in the same attire beside Arnav.. She opened her eyes and looked here and there trying to register the thoughts in her brain... While from above Devi Maiyya smiled to herself..
Kripa and Arnav were laughing like crazy idiots in the car.. Passing comments, eating a kulfi and pulling each other's legs... It wasnt to be taken in the wrong sense.. They fought like siblings... Kripa found a brother in Arnav which Ranveer could never be.. While Arnav found a friend, a mother, a sister in Kripa... A person whom he could finally trust... Who would never betray him like the others...
"Arnav, ek baat kahun toh bura toh nahi manoge.."
"Bilkul nahi, kahiye na.."
"Har lamhe ku khul ke jeena seekho Arnav, zindagi baahe phelaaye tumhara intezaar kar rahi hain, use jeena seekho... "
"Hmmm"
"Hmm nahi Arnav, u have to face your past... Aise bhagte rahoge toh kuch haasil nahi hoga.."
"Past.?? Kaisa past???"
"Arnav, tum chahe kitna jhoot kehna hain kehlo, par sach nahi badlega... Mujhe pata hain aise bahut si baatein hain jo tumhe chub ti hain.. Unse baahar niklo Arnav.. Your life awaits you..."
"I promise ill think about it Bhabhi.."
"If u wanna share something just recieve the phone and dial..."
She was interrupted by Arnav's phone ringing and Khushi's photo flashing on it... Well and if she was not mistaken then name on the screen displayed "Koosie <3".. She needed to find out what was in Arnav's heart...
"Yup Khushi, temme kya hua..?"
"Why isnt Di recieving her phone, idiot."
"One sec, Bhabhi, y arent u recieving your phone..??"
"Oops it was on silent.. I dint notice..." replied Kripa...
"It was on silent Khushi.. .Dont worry mein Bhabhi ko sahi salamat ghar pohchadunga..."
"Tumhara bharosa nahi.."
The phone was cut... Kripa stared at Arnav... She had to know what relationship they shared... From the way they were behaving, it seemed they were quite close to each other... She also made a mental note to check his phone gallery sometime later... Now it wasnt the right time...
Soon they reached home, and Kripa went to Angad's room, not before she turned around and gave a small smile to Arnav... This all was being watched by Vanshika who seemed quite irritated..
"Yeh ladki ko aaye ek din nahi hua, aur mere dono bete iske dewane... Abhi batati hoon.. I hope she remembers that i am her Mother In Law... And Angad never refuses me anything... !
On entering Angad's room, she found him in deep sleep hugging the pillow she slept on as a kid holds on to his toy.. She tried to remove it and instead he held her hands... And his grip was tight... She tried to loosen but no avail... Angad opens his eyes get her closer to him.. Kripa stares at him with a shocked expression when he removes a piece of something from her hair and releases her hands... A stunned Kripa just keeps staring at his orbs where she could see a sea of emotions which she couldn't decipher...
"What Kripa, get off me now.."
"Huh... Huh...?"
"What?? Dont gimme that look, were you expecting something else??"
Kripa was too shocked to react, Angad slowly tickled her and she came out of her trance...
"why did u tickle me?? "
"Coz you were not moving, and i couldnt bear the weight.."
"What???? " She replied fully in her senses
"Are u partially deaf or the only word you know is What??"
"Shut up... I aint fat.."
"Yea yea.. I know... After lifting you i know how much of a delicate darling are you.."
"Thank you" She replied sarcastically
"You are most welcome sweety" He winked at her and left for the bathroom...
Kripa was on the bed unable to understand this new feeling in her heart... She knew if Angad came out he would again tease her so she got ready to go down for dinner... Arnav and Anji knocked on the door with two plates of dinner...
"Yeh kya hain??"
"Bhabhi, yeh khana hain.." replied Arnav in the most obvious tone..
"Haan, woh dikhrahaa hain mujhe.. Yaha par kyun??"
"Bhabhi, neeche sab dinner kar chuke hain... Aap khalijiye .."
"Oops,"
She looked at Arnav and asked him if had his dinner to which he replied back that he wasnt hungry but i promise ill have it soon.. Anjali felt slightly jealous and as soon as she saw Angad behind she ran upto him, and asked him to have his dinner...
Kripa came over and asked her if she had her dinner to which she replied in a slight nod... Arnav stood outside.. And before Kripa could call him inside, he motioned Anjali to leave the couple alone...
They both left closing the door and anju screamed "Bhai, door lock karlijiye.."
Angad laughed and threw the towel, accidentally the towel landed on Kripa's face.. As she removed it angrily, Angad stood there laughing at the angry bird expression on her face, something he hadn't done in ages... Kripa looked at him laughing and she threw it back on his face while entering the bathroom... She shut the door and immediately realised that she hadnt taken her clothes and Angad would not help her. She came outside while Angad had already started eating... She angrily opened the cupboard purposely making sounds and shutting it then looked at Angad who was busy eating his food clearly not effected by her.. She stomped her feet and cursing him for his etiquette's and not even waiting for her while he just looked at her "Kuch kaha tumne.."
She gave a smile, rolled her eyes and left while Angad laughing at his wife's antics.. He stopped eating and as soon the bathroom door opened he drank water.. Kripa came and sat infront of him and took her plate.. Angad too resumed his eating... While Kripa was busy watching tv... After dinner, as Angad was lifting his plates.. Kripa stopped him and took it from his hands.. "Waise mujhe apna kaam khud karne ki aadat hain, par agar tumhe itna shauq hain toh u can go ahead..."
Kripa without a word lifted the plates and after putting them in place she came over and saw Angad already on his side, his eyes closed..
"Uff Ram, kitna sota hain yeh.."
Angad who was awake started thinking who is this Ram..? He opened one eye to see she was playing something on her phone... Hoga koi Ram, mujhe kya.. He turned over to sleep while Kripa bored with the games on her phone, went over to Angad's side to pick up his iPhone to see a lock code on his phone.. She tried typing a number, but no avail... Angad peeked thru his eye and snatched his phone..
"Mere phone mein kya check kar rahi ho??"
"Kuch nahi.. Aisa kya hain phone mein??"
"Tumhe kya chahiye..? Credit ???"
"Ufff, kuch nahi.. Good night.."
"weird lady"
As she came to her side to her sleep she saw the lock code unlocked and phone placed on her side of the bed...
"Look whoz wierd.. Seedhe se pooche toh nahi dete.."
He heard her and smiled to himself... And turned around.. While Kripa played games and as soon as she was done the time showed 1 AM.. She felt tired and turned around placing the phone when her back touched Angad's chest.. He pulled his closer so that she was completely in his arms.. She fitted perfectly in his arms... As if it was normal she too slept, both with a smile on their faces...
While on the other hand Khushi Kumari was making the most grumpiest man she ever met, roll on the floor with laughter... Arnav was in a bad mood coz he noticed the change of expressions on Anjali's face when Kripa asked him concernedly... Instead of driving to the pub he gave a call to Khushii who could change his mood..
"Mr. Grumpy, am i ua emotional dustbin???"
"No baby, you are my friend..."
"Friend...??"
"Kyun, tumhe kuch aur banna hain..?"
She felt color creeping to her cheeks
"Bas, kuch nahi banna.. Aur kitna pakaoge??.."
"Mein ya tum pakate ho??"
"Tum, waise i promise tumhara promotion zaroor karke rahungaa.. Bye"
"Good night, sleep tight"
"You too.."
Khushi was all red while Arnav smiled to himself and turned off the lights ready to close his eyes and welcome her to come and haunt him...
