Part 38

" And another thing. You loved to sing." Kripa smiled as her eyes widened from surprise. As they both sat in the cafe for the past one week, they talked about what Kripa used to be like. Angad hadnt told her about their relationship. But he had told her about what she used to like, what she hated, what she was good at, and ofcourse..what she wasnt good at.

" Sing? you mean I can sing?" Angad nodded as if it was obvious. " Isnt that what I just said?" She looked down at her coffee and thought about it. " Did I ever sing for you Angad?" He looked away not knowing what to say. He remembered that night when they had won their award and Kripa had sung for him in front of the whole college. " Angad? should I assume that I did?" He looked at her again and smiled. "I cant stop you now can I?"

She placed a hand on his and leaned forward towards him. She was only about a few centimeters away from him, she looked right into his eyes. "You can make me do anything you want Angad. I might not remember anything. But I remember what you meant to me once. You were some kind of magic in my life that swept me off my feet. And you still do today." He looked into her eyes that appeared a light green with a tinge of blue in it. They were so beautiful. He blinked when he saw that same passion in her eyes that he had seen in Kripa's eyes. Yes, she was Kripa too but he considered her to be just a completely different entity.

He suddenly pulled his hand and moved back in his seat. Kripa stared at his hand move and then smiled to herself. Sexy! She wrinkled her nose and moved back in her seat too.

Angad talked on the phone when Kripa sat in his room, looking through their old photo albums. When she turned her fingers to go to the next page, she saw a photo that grabbed her attention and brought smiles to her face. It was a photo where Kripa was sitting on Angad's back as he did push-ups. We look so cute! She smiled at her thoughts. But it was true. They did look cute together. Kripa immediately turned to Angad and grabbed his hand. He looked at her, still on the phone. He nodded his head asking her what she wanted to say. She nodded her head back. " I'll talk to you later." He smiled and put his arm around her shoulder. " What is it?"

" Angad look at this photo." His eyes saw the same thing she was seeing. He smiled to himself as he remembered that moment. He looked down and sighed. Kripa looked at his sulking face now and pulled out her lower lips as she looked at him. When he looked at her, he giggled. She didnt look this cute before. " What?" She frowned now as he laughed at her. When he continued to laugh, she pushed his hand off her shoulder and walked out of his room.

" Kripa...Kripa please listen to me." He ran down the stairs behind her. " I dont want to listen to anything Angad. Just keep laughing now." She quickly walked to the door and opened it up to get a surprise. "Sim!" She screamed out of excitement and hugged her. Sim looked at Angad, surprised. She remembered? Angad's smile had quickly turned to a frown. Sim raised her eyebrows and asked Angad what was happening. He nodded with a simple No and frowned. Kripa had been remembering some random things over the past few weeks. But everytime he asked her how she had remembered it, she always said that she hadnt even realized what she had said.

Kripa let go of Sim and looked at her as she held her hands. " How's Ranvir?" Kripa suddenly looked down and tried to figure out what she had just done. Sim? Ranvir? How did she know who they were. She suddenly snapped back to reality when Sim waved her hand in front of a lost Kripa. There was a smile on Sim's face. " Kripa you remember me?" Kripa looked clueless. " I just..." She quickly looked back at Sim. " I'm sorry. Excuse me." She gently made her way past Sim and ran to her car. Sim looked at Angad with a shock and he quickly ran behind Kripa.

" Kripa...Kripa suno!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. There were tears in her eyes and she didnt look at Angad. He felt her tremble as he put his hands on her shoulders. " Its ok Kripa. I know you dont remember her."

" But I do!!" She looked into his shocked eyes and she held her face in her hands and cried. Angad embraced her quickly and put his arms around her really tightly. He felt her cry violently and he let her. For the first time in weeks, he felt like he was hugging his Kripa again. Her hands left her face and slowly slided up Angad's back. He felt her and for the first time in weeks, he didnt feel guilty or miserable.

Kripa let go of Angad and looked at him. There were still tears in her eyes and he wiped them with his thumb as he held her face in his hand. " I'm sorry Angad. I didnt mean to just break down like this. I just..." She choken on her own saliva and then cried again but controlled herself at the same speed. Angad just looked down at her without saying a word. She looked miserable. He quietly walked her to her car and opened the door. When she sat inside, he closed the door and then leaned on the window and looked at her. " Are you sure you dont want me to drop you? You look miserable."

" I'm fine Angad but thanks." She smiled behind her tears and then wiped them off. " Can I ask you something?" He nodded his head and looked into her eyes as she came closer to him. " Did I ever fall in love you?" She left him startled with her question. He smiled artificially. " I dont know. Did you?" She looked at him smile but she didnt. He came back to his serious mode and sighed. " Kripa close your eyes."

" Why?" She made her eyes bigger instead. " Just trust me. Close them." She nodded her head and hesitantly closed her eyes. He continued. " OK. Now...who do you see when you close your eyes. That's the person you love the most." She opened her eyes and smiled as she heard him speak and then closed her eyes again. Quickly she opened her eyes and smiled as she looked down at the ring she was wearing with the letters AK embedded on it. " Did you see someone?" She looked at him and nodded. " I did Angad." He smiled hoping that it was him. " Good. Then that's the person you love." He quickly kissed her cheek and stood up. " Bye Kripa." She smiled to herself. " Bye." She saw him walk around her car and then walk towards his house. She watched him walk and smiled to herself.

" Hey Sim!" He entered his living room and saw her sitting on the couch, going through a magazine. When she saw him, she got up and walked over to him and hugged him tightly. " I missed you Angad!" He repeated her words and kissed her forehead. " You seem happy!" She looked at his glowing face. Just a few days ago she had heard him cry when he had called to tell her that Kripa had changed a lot.

" Sim I think I'm going to get my Kripa back very soon." She raised her eyebrow and grinned. She was truly happy for him. " So does she really remember me?" Angad looked up at her and then smirked. "Why do you feel really proud?"

" Ofcourse Angad. I mean I must have inspired her a lot. Or else why would she remember me...yet not herself?" He nodded his head at then looked at her as if he had a question. " So how exactly did you inspire her Sim? ummm....oh I know. I'm sure she looks at you and think I wish I never become an idiot like her!" He gave her a sideways glance as she narrowed her eyes to look at him. She quickly grabbed the couch cushion and hit Angad. " You stupid, idiot!!!" Angad held his arms in front of him to protect himself and then pulled her closer to him. " I love you Sim." She hit his head. " You're telling the wrong person Angad." He sighed and looked at her. " But I'll tell her..soon!" Sim winked and then smiled naughtily and then hugged Angad tighter. " I'll be waiting for that day." So will I Sim. Angad smiled to himself.

Kripa opened her closet and looked around to find some sweats and a t-shirt. All her clothes were in the laundry and she hadnt given it to Teddy yet. So she pushed all her sarees to the side and looked behind it to find anything. When she finally spotted a black pair of sweats, she grabbed it with a sigh of relief and then was about to put the sarees back in its place when her hands touched something. She picked up the last saree and looked under it. She pulled it out and looked at it. It was a framed photograph of Angad. She looked at it and smiled and then walked over to the table next to her bed and neatly set it in the center, right next to hers. PERFECT! And that was the word for them. They were perfect together, more than they realized.

Angad turned his table lamp on and off repeatedly. All his eyes were looking at was Kripa's photograph that sat on his side table, where he could see her everyday. She looked extremely gorgeous in the color red, he thought.

He slept straight on his back now and looked up at the ceiling fan but still didnt see it. God, last time I asked you for Kripa's life and you gave it to me. This time I want to ask for something more. I hope you won't disappoint me. I just want her to get her memory back so she wont have to go through the agony of not knowing who she is. I love her too much to see her in tears God. Please listen to me because I know you will. Goodnight.

He closed his eyes and slept with a smile on his face. He knew for a fact that God would never disappoint him. He knew that one day Kripa would remember everything and come running to him. He just wished that it happened tomorrow and not ten years from now. But all he could do was hope and so he did.

OK i got some time so I decided to post. This isnt as depressing as the last part..I hope! Anyways, if you guys are feeling really happy that Kripa is going to get her memory back in the next part then...well, you might have a reason to smile right now. lets see what happens in the next part.
