INTA HAYATI
Part 13
Kripa woke up the next morning to find herself enatngled in Angad's arms.. She slowly released herself and went to take a shower... When she came out she found Angad drinking his coffee near the balcony.. She made up the bed, removed his suit and left downstairs to prepare breakfast... She made Aloo Poori.. Dadi saw her in the kitchen and was very happy to see that she made Aloo Pooris.. She informed her that Golu n Laddu both loved it.. Kripa nodded with a knowing smile... She laid the breakfast table... Vanshika made faces seeing the oily stuff.. She refused to eat and was happy with her bread and butter.. While Dadi just smiled at it... Slowly Anju came and was pretty excited to see some food rather than the usual Bread and better...
"Oh wow the advantages of having a bhabhi at home... Thank God" thought Anju to herself..
Arnav came downstairs and was pretty excited to see his favorite dish after a long time... He was actually suprised that somebody, someone in this world still knew his favorite dishes... He started literally hogging the Aloo Poori and had a competition with Anju as to who would eat maximum number of Pooris?? While Kripa stood near the kitchen smiling seeing Arnav living his childhood. She was happy for him..
Angad came downstairs talking on his phone.. Kripa noticed he wasnt wearing the suit she had kept for him.. The smile was wiped from her face but soon she regained her composure.. Angad wished a Good Morning to all and started eating the breakfast.. He was so engrossed in his phone that he didnt even realise what he was eating... All were busy in thier own world... After a quick breakfast Angad left without even noticing her standing in the way.. Kripa didnt understand why she felt so upset.. Hadnt she herself promised herself not to expect anything from this realtionship.??
Arnav after eating the maximum number of Pooris looked up to find Kripa in the kitchen.. He saw her face and it didnt take a minute to put two and two together.. He poked Anju and after everyone left they went to Kripa..
"Bhabhi, aur poori bache hain kya?? Yeh bhukkad ko aur chahiye.."
"Mujhe ya aapko bhai??"
Kripa smiled at them and said there werent any pooris left... She said she will make some more when Arnav winked at Anjali..
"Bhabhi, aaj mein aapke liye kuch banata hu... Try karke dekhiye Chef ASR ka haath ka khana, especially for you... And he bowed infront of her..
While Anju stood there amazed.. Her brother had cooking skills too..!
Arnav made pasta with white sauce for Kripa coz he knew his bhabhi didnt have anything thanks to his annoying brother... Meanwhile Kripa and Anju were discussing wedding shopping.. Soon Arnav entered with his pasta and served it to Kripa... Kripa took a bite and instantly had a huge grin which meant she loved it..
"Its very tasty Arnav.. You are really good" She gave a piece from her fork to Anju who too it happily.. Arnav stood there watching 2 of his 3 favorite ladies smiling.. He did a victory dance in his mind... Soon after Kripa took Anju for the sagai shopping.. Both the ladies enjoyed their time out shopping... Kripa noticed Ranveer called Anju every 10 min to talk to her.. Kripa felt anger seep within her.. She felt as though Ranveer didnt trust her.. But she kept quite..
While Angad did his all time favorite job - screaming his head off at the fellow employees and at the same time preparing for the final hearings of his cases... The date of Shaw and Bernard which Kripa had handled so well was nearing its final hearing and Kripa was needed in the office.. Angad thought how wud he approach her.. For the first time in his life, he felt dependent on someone..On a LADY and that too his employee who had challenged him the first time she came to his office and now his WIFE,,,!
He screamed at everyone in the office.. And then Vicky was as well not available... He had gone out of town for some clues.. For the lawyer Angad, it didnt seem the truth.. But he choose to trust his friend over his instincts... !
Khushi on the other hand was sitting in the room.. A shy smile creeping on her face as she thought of him.. She fell on the bed and covered herself with the blanket blushing.. She was a red tomato by now... She looked at herself in the mirror and admired herself.. She flew her dupatta and started dancing in the room.. She brought the duppatta close to herself... And smiled again.. A huge smile adorning her face... Everyone in Ranveer's house found her unusally happy.. She was chirpy and bubbly but today she was exceptionally happy and it radiated from her face...After a while she got ready, informed Ranveer she was going out.. Ranveer thot of asking where she was going but he chose to ignore it.. She dressed herself in the best dress she had... She wore her bangles and shook her hand, the sound of it making her smile... She applied her bindi and wore her payals shaking her leg... She then wore her stills and rushed downstairs and was soon in the driving seat of her Honda City... She drove towards the mall and soon was at the La Cafe.. Her place where she was gonna meet him... She found him already there.. As she came closer, he looked up and was lost in her beauty... As she came near, he came forward and pulled the chair for her.. All the while his piercing gaze on her.. He didnt understand what was happening to him, while she understood it perfectly.. ! The whole picture was set up.. She just needed him to start and she would follow...
"Tum kya khaogi Khushi??"
"Erm, anything would be fine Arnav"
She smiled at him.. He placed the order on her behalf...
After eating, they left.. Arnav blindfolded and drove her to a secluded place..
"Yeh kaha leja rahe ho mujhe Arnav??"
"Bharosa hain mujhpe??"
She nodded while her heart leapt in her chest.. She was excited... Arnav got down off the car and slowly led Khushi to garden amidst woods...
It was small beautiful garden with bright red flowers.. She was amazed at the beauty of the garden.. Arnav just smiled and led her towards a bench..
"This is my most favorite place.. I come here when I am disturbed..."
"Indeed it is a very peaceful place.."
Arnav led Kripa and made her sit beside him, he took a red flower and placed it on her ear... She blushed.. She felt like singing... She got up and twirled her dupatta around while he sat watching her intently..
Hai, isharon isharon mein dil lene wale
Bataa yeh hunar tune seekha kahase
Nigahon nigahon mein jaadu chalana
Meri jaan seekha hain tumne jahase
O mere dil ko tum bha gaye
Meri kya thi ismein khata
Mujhe jisne tadpa diya
Yehi thi woh zalim ada
Yehi thi woh zalim ada
Yeh ranjha ki baatein, yeh majnu ke kisse
Alag to nahin hain meri daastan se
Isharon isharon mein dil lene wale
Bataa yeh hunar tune seekha kahase
O mohabbat jo karte hain woh
Mohabbat jatate nahin
Dhadkane apne dil ke kabhi
Kisi ko sunate nahin
Kisi ko sunate nahin
Maza kya raha jab ki khud kar diya hon
Mohabbat izhaar apni zubaan se
Nigahon nigahon mein jaadu chalana
Meri jaan seekha hain tumne kahase
O mana ke jane jaha
Laakhon mein tum ek hon
Hamari nigahon ki bhi
Kuch to magar daad do
Kuch to magar daad do
Baharon ko bhi naaz jis phool par tha
Wohi phool humne chuna gulsitan se
Isharon isharon mein dil lene wale
Bataa yeh hunar tune seekha kahase
Nigahon nigahon mein jaadu chalana
Meri jaan seekha hain tumne jahase
Bataa yeh hunar tune seekha kahase
Meri jaan seekha hain tumne jahase
Bataa yeh hunar tune seekha kahase
Meri jaan seekha hain tumne jahase
Bataa yeh hunar tune seekha kahase
Arnav joined her in the snging.. She never knew he could sing also, that too n a very melodious voice... While this man knew everything about her, he was a surprise to her everyday... She still had to know his mood swings, his anger, his passion, his love, his care.. Those emotions were buried deep down.. He had let his guards down for a while and she got in.. She still had to travel a lot... To know more about the man standing before her...
By the end of the song, they both were in each other's arms staring intently at each other...
Rabba Vey Rabba Vey...
Kripa and Anju returned home exhausted... Kripa had no energy to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner... But she had too.. Anju asked her to rest but she didnt want.. She went to the kitchen, ticked her saari pallu and started
dinner.. It took her 50 min to prepare and just in time for dinner.. She saw Angad returning back.. She laid the dinner... Soon everyone was coming to the dinner.. Angad freshened up and was on the dinner table.. She was too tired to eat, she went upstairs to sleep.. Her body needed rest... Dadi asked her but she informed that she would have it later.. As her day's duties came to an end, she realised Arnav wasnt on the table.. She went upstairs to give a call to him.. He was sitting with Khushi's head on his shoulder. He showed her the screen and received the phone.. He was awed sensing the concern in her voice.. He informed her that he would have his dinner before returning home.. He thought of telling him about Khushi being with him but then decided against him...
Khushi herself snatched the phone and told Kripa she was outside with Arnav.. Kripa was shocked at the discovery but she kept quite.. She hoped that they knew what they were doing.. Kripa was already planning on settling Khushi.. She hoped Arnav and Khushi would be together for her own reasons.. She didnt want her sister staying at Ranveer's house..! Well, she could just hope for the best for her sister and devar... After seeing to it that everybody had their dinner, she changed into her night suit and was almost about to get inside the covers when Angad came and pulled the cart with him.. It had a huge pizza and coke..
"I managed to sneak it.. Lets have it come..."
"But..." She was cut off
"No buts, I know you dint have anything.. Cmon"
He pulled her hand from the bed and made her sit on the recliner while he sliced the pizza and seasoned it...
"Fork or Hand.??"
"Hand" she replied and he winked at her and passed the slice.. She dint realise she was so hungry she finished more than half of the pizza while Angad just munched onto one piece... He kept talking random stuff to her so she didnt notice his only one piece...
Angad smiled at her.. He poured coke and offered it to her... She drank it and sanitised her hand.. He cleared everything while she turned off the lamp.. As she was closing her eyes she heard him say "Kripa, do u mind coming to office tomorrow..?"
"Erm yea sure.. Why??"
"Ill tell you tomorrow.. "
"Good Night"
"Good Night"
He replied back to her first time... Again she heard him pull her from behind.. She just move back, her back crashing into her chest.. Angad whispered barely enough for her to hear.. "Bhool Gayi na..?"
After a while, Kripa got up to check onto Arnav.. She opened his door and found him sound asleep.. She covered him with the duvet.. Angad stood on the doorway watching his wife doing all his duties... Before she turned around to leave, he left and went back to bed.. What he didnt know was she could feel his presence by now.. She returned to her room and was back in her position... Soon sleep overtook her and she was in a different land.. Everyday a different dream...
The next morning, Kripa got up early to prepare breakfast and soon got ready for the office.. Angad asked to be ready soon after breakfast and they left.. Dadi smiled at her grandson who purposely was eating slowly so that Kripa doesnt compromise on her food.. He waited till she got her bag from the room and soon they left.. Before leaving, Kripa woke Arnav up and placed breakfast on his table...
As she reached the office, Angad came and opened the door for her.. She got down while she stepped her foot in this office as the owner's wife... What she didnt know was she was the owner of some shares too.. Angad had made her sign those papers along the wedding papers... The whole office stood up and welcomed Kripa with flowers.. She accepted them with grace and followed Angad to his cabin... He placed a seat beside him and told her about the Shaw and Bernard..He asked her to pay full attention to the case and she can leave the household for a while.. Kripa knew she could handle both of them.. It would be fine if she had to handle some pressure and stress. She had done much more than that... She discussed the possibilities and starting working on it immediately.. She was so involved she didnt realise it was way past lunch time.. Khushi had come to serve lunch but she saw her sister busy with her hubby so she left them alone plus Arnav was waiting downstairs... She rushed outside...
Angad got up from his seat, ordered food and came upto Krips's desk.. He snatched the file and pointed towards the tray of food.. While eating, Kripa still was discussing the case with Angad.. Its pros and cons.. Angad was amazed, she was so energetic and he couldnt think before eating...
The next few days passed by in a frenzy with Kripa handling the household, wedding preparations of Anju and her case.. She had to win it by hook or by crook.. It was the question of her prestige.. No, now it was the prestige of her husband.. She couldnt let loss face the Khanna firm, especially when she herself was a Khanna... Soon it was time for Anjali's engagement and the next day was the case... The tiring weeks for her... Khushi selected a dress with Arnav's choice and vice versa... Kripa bought a designer suit for Angad and a saree for herself... Everything was done.. She had two red bulls in the morning to keep herself awake... The engagement was in full swing.. It was after all the engagement of Anjali Singh Raizada and Ranveer Singh and the sister of Angad Khanna.. !
