PART-25

Next evening Kripa went to Mehendi program, leaving Angad, who was adamnt and did not accompany her...But she was treated as a celebrity herself, due to Angad and she was just not used to it still...Every one kept asking her about how she felt to be wife of such big rock star, about her and Angad's relationship...until Kanan just rolled her eyes and pulled her away from them, giving Kripa a little breathing space...Kripa also had to change, as she came early on Harshini's and Kanan's request...She quickly changed and did her make up and came out after wearing her jwellery...

Kanan whistled looking at her...

Ka: Aab tum lag rahi ho, sach much ek celebrity ki biwi...! She said grinning...You are looking gorgeous...Afsos aaj Angad nahi aa raha function mein...! Nahi to behosh hi ho jata, humara celebrity...She said chuckling and Kripa blushed sitting down...Kanan gave her a glass of juice...

K: Thanks Kanan...she said sighing and sitting on the chair with her legs up and drinking the juice...

Ka: so, Kripa...how does it feel to be a celebrity...She said grinning and Kripa looked at her with wide eyes...Just kidding girl...! Relax...She said chuckling and drinking her juice...Panch minute baith lo aaram se, phir niche jana hai...function shuru hone ko hi hoga...! Harshini mera gala daba degi, agar wahan nahi gayi to...Kripa smiled and continued drinking her juice, thinking about Angad's words, to postpone the marriage...But it seemed that the marriage was still going to happen in couple of days...She prayed that Prithvi was not like Mishti and would keep Harshini happy...Hey kahan kho gayi? Kripa shook her head...So, how was yesterdays date...! She asked grinning...Kripa chuckled...acha tha...! She said her thoughts going back to Mishti and Prithvi again...Kripa I know you are thinking about Prithvi...Aren't you? Kripa looked at her with wide eyes...And then slowly nodded...Josh ne mujhe Mishti ke bare mein bataya...He wanted my help in postponing this marriage...But we did not have any proof or any reason to do it...She said sighing...Kripa nodded looking down...Kya soch rahi ho Kripa?

K: Pata nahi Kanan...agar Angad ka shak sach nikla to? She asked with concern to her and Kanan sighed...

Kanan kept quite and was deep in thoughts, when some one knocked on the door...They sighed and opened the door and some girls called them down for the Sangeet and Mehendi ceremony...They all walked down and saw Harshini sitting on the stool looking beautiful in lehenga and jwellery...

But Kripa could feel the eyes of many people on her, instead...She was feeling too conscious and sticked with Kanan going to Harshini with a smile...Harshini grinned looking at them and Kripa smiled looking at her happy face...She prayed that Prithvi was the person she thought he was...!

She sat down with Harshini as many people got up and sang songs and danced...! Mishti was in full swing, as the competition between the girls and boys side started and there were many expert dancers and singers from their side...While there were very few from Harshini's side...They were sitting on the opposite side of eachother, with few Instruments...

Ka: Kripa, tum bhi kuch gao na...! Not fair...You have such wonderful voice...Ek to gana suna do...Nahi to woh log jeet jayenge...Dekho, ek se ek ache dancer aur singers hai...She said making faces...Harshini and her friends too agreed and pleaded her...

N: Hey right Kripa...akhir Angad khanna ki biwi ho...You need to take some action, or they are going to win...One song...We will join you in a dance and we will show them that we are not behind...!

H: Haan Kripa ek gana...please...Harshini said grinning...Kripa smiled at Harshini and slowly nodded...She couldn't say no to her and Kanan...

She slowly got up chuckling with other girls and went in the middle and slowly started singing...

At last the song was over and there was a loud appaulse there, as Kripa shyly looked around smiling at everyone, and then suddenly, her face lit up, when she saw Angad and all her family standing there with surprise as well as awe looking at her and clapping for her with others...She grinned a little shyly and went to them immediately touching Dilipa and Avantika's feet...She looked at Aliyah, who was grinning at her from ear to ear and went and hugged her...

Al: Beautiful performance bhabhi...she said chuckling and Kripa shyly smiled, looking at Angad, who was staring at her...

K: Ma, Papa, aap kab aye? She asked shyly...

Av: Jab tumhari awaj suni tab...She said chuckling and holding her cheeks...Kripa shyly smiled and looked down...

Damini, came from behind and welcomed them, appreciating Kripa's performance, while Mishti who stood behind frowning at Kripa, got up immidiately, as soon as she saw Kripa walking with Aliyah towards Harshini...

M: Angad, kitne late aye ho...

Dilip: Beta, abhi hume airport se pick karne aya tha, issiliye late ho gaya...Mishti smiled at Dilip and nodded...

M: Koi baat nahi Uncle, bahot acha hua ki aap aye...! Thanks for coming...!

Av: Beta, issme thanks ki kya jaroorat hai...Tumhare bhai ki shadi par tumne bulaya hume, aur hume nahi ayenge? She said smiling...

Damini: Chaliye, Prithvi aur baki saab se milati hun app donon ko...Damini said smiling at Avantika and Dilip with a smile...They went with her, leaving Angad with Mishti...

M: Chalo Angad...Angad followed her without a word, looking for Kripa in the crowd...But she was not there...His heart had stopped breathing for moments there, when he saw her singing and dancing with everyone, looking beautiful...! He wanted to grab her and run far away from crowds...She was looking stunning...!

He talked to few people who came and introduced themselves in awe...Many small kids came to him with autograph books and asked for signature, until Josh came and asked them to run and play along...Josh introduced him and his parents to his parents, who had arrived today morning from US...

The night went on and at last Dilip and his family took leave and Kripa too left with them promising Harshini and her friends, that she would come early on wedding day...

They soon came out and then Angad realized that they had only one car with them...!

A: Kripa, tum aisa karo, inn saab ko lekar ghar jao, mein ata hun taxi mein...

K: Nahi Angad, tum jao...Mein ati hun...!

Avantika just rolled her eyes...Kisi ko taxi mein jane ki jaroorat nahi hai...Pehle auto mein jate the kahin to sare ek hi auto mein aa jate, aab tum bade ho gaye to gadi bhi badi ho gayi na...Adjust karke chalte hain...Chalo aab...She said and they sqeezed together and Aliyah, Kripa, Angad and Avantika sat in after a little struggle, laughing and grinning together...

K: Ma Kartik bhaiya aur bhabhi nahi aye?

Av: Nahi beta, unka kaam hai, to nahi aye...aur waise bhi, Mishti to Angad ki dost hai, aur Daminiji ne kaha phone par, issiliye aa gaye...

Angad who was sitting next to her grinned as he mischiviously raised his hands and touched Kripa's bare waist, as they drove through dark lanes and Kripa shivered a little looking at him with a frown...Angad smiled and winked at her pinching a little...
K: Ouch...Kripa said angrily looking at Angad, when Avantika looked at her with a frown...

Av:Kya hua beta...Thik to ho na...Angad, jara iss side hat ja, taki usse thodi jagah mil jaye...She said immediately concerned...Angad abided with her wish with a grin, though he might have hardly moved a inch and looked at Kripa with a grin...Kripa gave him a stern look to behave, but his hands were still on her waist, making Kripa wriggle a little...She hit his legs lightly looking at him angrily, but Angad just grinned, continuing torturing her, until atlast they reached their house...Aliyah was almost half asleep, as she was tired...

They all got down and Kripa showed Aliyah, her old room, and Aliyah thanked her and was almost asleep as soon as she kept her head down on the pillow...Kripa just smiled and covered her with blanket and then closed the lights and walked out...Dilip and Avantika were sitting in the living room, talking about the rennovations when Kripa joined them...

K: Ma, Aliyah itni jaldi so gayi aaj...?

Av: Beta, kal raat bhar kaam kar rahi thi aur subah bhi jaldi uth gayi...Office se direct airport par hi ana pada aur wahan se sidhe function mein...So, thak gayi hai...she said smiling...Tum donon ka trip kaisa hua, darjeling ka...Kripa smiled...

K: Acha hua ma...she said as she looked up at Angad with a shy smile...Angad grinned and then looked at Dilip again and they discussed about the house for a while and then got up to sleep...Kripa insisted them to use her mom dad's room as it was quite big, but they shook their head, saying they will sleep in guest room and walked off...

Angad who sat there silently until his parents left, suddenly got up with a grin and pulled Kripa by her waist, taking Kripa by surprise...She almost fell on him, by his sudden moment, but he held her, before she would loose her balance...

She was almost too afraid to open her eyes, but then slowly opened when she felt his hands caressing her arms...

She just stared at him for few minutes, not able to look anywhere else...Suddenly she pushed him and stood up, looking at him angrily...

K: Angad, aaj kal bahot pareshan karne lage ho tum...! Angad raised his eyebrows mockingly and then grinned at her, and Kripa frowned and walked in their room...Angad got up at once and ran behind her, not wanting her to change yet...She was about to go in the rest room, when he caught her...and trapped her by the wall...

A: Kahan bhag rahi ho? He asked grinning...

K: Chodo mujhe, change karna hai...!

A: No way...He said grinning...Kripa tried to loosen her arms, which were on the wall, trapped by Angad's hands...But she couldn't move a finger...Angad smiled at her sweetly raising his eyebrows...Kripa made faces and looked aside...Angad took advantage of her and burrowed his face in her neck in the opposite direction, she was looking...And Kripa caught her breathe...She closed her eyes, as soon as Angad's lips touched her skin...Angad smiled and slowly bit her neck and then ears, smiling at the effect he was having on her...You are looking beautiful...He whispered kissing her chin, his hands loosened on her hands slowly, as he felt her relaxing...

Kripa slowly smiled and pressed her cheeks to his chin, as his breathe tickled her...

K: Jhoote kahin ke, bataya kyun nahi ki tum airport papa mama ko pick karne ja rahe ho...Issiliye mana kiya na function mein ane ke liye...She asked, her eyes still closed...Angad smiled kissing her cheeks and nose and then looked at her lips...

A: Batata, to itna acha performance miss kar deta aaj...! He said and Kripa looked at him with a frown...Aur nahi to kya...Mere samne dance karne se sharmati tum aur phir...he winked and slowly touched his lips...Pata hai, wahan jab tum dance kar rahi thi, to aisa lag raha tha mano, tumhe lekar kahin bhag jaun...! He whispered near her lips and Kripa chuckled...You were just amazing...! He said slowly and lifted her in his arms...Kripa did not protest and went with him, as he slowly removed her jwellery one by one...She just sat there as he slowly took them out caressing her skin in between...Once done he looked at her and slowly raised her face, so she could see in his eyes and when he saw shy smile on her face, he smiled satisfyingly and pulled her in his arms...

Kripa got up early morning, next day and got ready...Angad was still asleep, so she slowly closed the door and went out to make some breakfast...She couldn't eat much yesterday night and was hungry...By the time she was done, everyone was up and ready...! They greeted her with a smile, seeing the breakfast on the table...Angad grinned seeing the table...

A: Are wah...badhiya hai...Bahot dinon ke baad paratha bana hai breakfast mein...He said taking one in his plate and starting to eat...

Al: Vow, bhabhi, seems like you did not loose your touch in cooking...! Wonderful...Aaj bahot dinon ke baad khana acha lag raha hai...! Nahi to teady bahot fikka khana banata hai...! She said rolling her eyes...Avantika chuckled and sat along with Dilip and so did Kripa, after serving them...

D: To aaj ka kya program hai bhai...

Al: How about we visit Taj mahal? Aliyah asked grinning...

A: Hello...Kitni dur hain yahan se pata hai...! He said rolling his eyes...

Al: Common bhai...3 hours drive hai...We can start in an hour or so and spend around 6-7 hours and then come back...! She said rolling her eyes...

A: Maam, you are forgetting one thing...! Yahan kisi ko pata nahi hai, ki hum yahan reh rahe hain...! Yahan na security guards hain, aur na drivers, jo trained ho...! Aur ussmein wahan ki bheed...Can you imagine, what it will be like...!
Aliyah made faces but sighed...
Av: Haan Aliyah, thik keh raha hai Angad...! Waise hi bahot kuch anab shanab chapa hai akbar mein last week...!
Kripa frowned...
K: Kya chapa hai akbar mein ma? She asked concerned...
A: Kuch nahi Kripa...Mein ne kaha na, ye logon ki to adat hain...
K: Par chapa kya hai...?
D: Beta, kuch tumhare aur Prithvi ke bare mein likha hai...He said atlast angrily...Bina soche samjhe kuch bhi likh dete hain...Kripa frowned and looked at Angad, to know if he knew and he looked down angrily, not able to look at Kripa...!
Av: Khair jane do aab...! Angad ne sambhal liya na saab...Aap kyun itna tension le rahe hain...She said keeping a hand on his arm...Dilip sighed and nodded and Avantika looked at Kripa, who suddenly looked down tensed...! Are Kripa beta, itna dil par mat lo...Hum saab ko malum hai, ki tum donon wahan Senior Citizen home mein volunteer karte the, aur ache dost the...Ye log to bas baat ka batangad bana kar akbar mein chap dete hain, taki inki sales badhe...
Al: Yeh bhabhi...This is nothing...They had even tried to degrade Angad's character as well 3-4 months back...! Kripa looked up wide eyed at them...
Angad slowly sighed and looked at her, not having anyother option...She looked at him accusingly, for not telling her anything and then looked away and silently ate a little...She wasn't hungry anymore...
D: Yeh logon ko kya, bas ek maan dhadak kahani chahiye roj chapne ko...To kisi na kisi ko pakad lete hain...! Naye logon ke piche nayi kahani mil jati hai, ussase char paise kama lete hain...! Par ye nahi sochte ki inka, logon ke personal life par kya asar hota hai...! He said sighing...
Av: Jane dijiye na ye saab abhi...Aap bhi na ji, dekhiye Kripa ko tension de diya, saab logon ne milkar abhi...She said frowning and looking at Kripa...Dilip and Aliyah looked at Kripa and sighed...
D: Tum chinta mat karo Kripa...Thode dinon mein saab sambhal jayega...Nayi kahani milte hi, ye kahani purani ho jayegi aur log bhul jayenge...
Kripa smiled slowly and nodded, but still she was angry on Angad for not telling her about all this...!
Soon they were done and Aliyah, Dilip and Avantika decided to go to meet couple of friends instead...
They soon left, after Kripa and Angad decided to stay back...
As soon as they left, Kripa walked out in the gardens angry as well as hurt...Angad still couldn't share his problems with her...He did not have enough faith in what she could do...! Though he loved her, he still tried to protect her and see to the problems himself, rather than talking to her, telling her about it...He did not even ask her opinions about things which concerned them both, thinking she was still the same Kripa whom he had to shelter...
Angad, was on a call from last hour, so was busy talking...He atlast kept the phone sighing and then looked around for Kripa with a frown...He searched for her everywhere and atlast saw her sitting on the chair in the garden...He sighed, knowing she must be angry for not telling her about the articles...He slowly walked out and sat besides Kripa and took her hand in his...Kripa looked away blinking her tears, not wanting to show how hurt she was...!
A: Kripa...
K: Kripa suddenly got up and started leaving, but Angad held her back...
A: Baat nahi karogi...? He asked slowly, and Kripa kept quite...He slowly pulled her back and made her sit besides him...I am sorry...He said slowly...Looking at her...Kripa just sat there without a word...Kripa...
K: Kya tumhe mujh par vishwas nahi hai Angad? She asked looking at him with tears...
Angad frowned looking at her...
A: Kripa, ye kaisi baat kar rahi ho? Ofcourse I trust you...! And you know that...
K: To kya mujhe kamjor samjhte ho? Ya phir ye samajhte ho ki mein iss layak nahi ki tum mujh se apni problem share karo? She asked looking at him with hurt and anger...Angad slowly got up looking at her...
A: Kripa aisi koi baat nahi hai, aur tum janti ho...Mein...
K: To kya baat hai Angad...Ek baar bhi nahi bataya mujhe, ki Mumbai mein kya hua? Kyun nahi bataya? Kya mujhe janane ka hak nahi hai...
A: Kripa dekho meri baat suno...Aisi koi baat nahi hai, jaisa tum samjh rahi ho...! Mein tumhe khama kha pareshan nahi karna chahta tha...!
K: Tumhe kya lagta hai, ki mujhe pata nahi chalta...Aaj nahi to kal ye baat samne aa hi jati na Angad...Logon ka muh to bandh nahi kar sakte na tum...
A: Mein janta hun Kripa! He said sighing...Par mein ye nahi chahta tha, ki koi tumhare bare mein kuch bhi likhe aur tumhe ussase dukh ho...Mein ne saab kuch clear kar diya, aur unse paper mein maffi bhi mangvayi next day...Bas baat khatma...!
K: Par Angad...She said frowning...
A: Kripa, yakeen karo, agar baat aur badhti, to mein tumhe batata, par mein janta tha, ki kisi ne jaan bujh kar woh harkat ki hai...!
K: Kya chapa tha Angad? She asked looking at him...And Angad looked down sighing...
A: Someone wrote about you and Prithvi having affair in States...Unhe tumhare do teen photos bhi mile the...! Aur phir ye bhi kaha, ki issiliye tum India wapas nahi ayi last year...! He said and Kripa looked at him wide eyed...Don't worry...Mein ne unse maffi mangne ke liye kaha next day paper mein aur tumhare aur Prithvi ke volunteer work ke bare mein bataya...
K: Par unhe woh photos kaise mile aur ye saab kaise pata chala unhe...? She asked suspiciously, almost knowing and understanding Angad's eyes...
A: Thik soch rahi ho Kripa...Ho na ho ye Mishti ka plan tha...! Uss paper editor ne bataya ki unhe source ka pata nahi hai, par unhe mail mein sare details with photos mile...! He said looking far...
K: Tum kuch aur bhi chupa rahe ho...Aur kya likha tha Angad...? She asked knowing something more was coming...Angad shook his head, knowing it would be better to just tell her the full truth...!
A: Tumhari kuch hospital se bahar nikalte waqt photos hai, Prithvi ke sath...! Unhone likha ki tumne abortion kiya hai, aur Prithvi iss baat se khush nahi tha, aur tum donon alag ho gaye... Kripa looked at him open mouthed, but Angad continued...It said that you did this all secretly, taki kisi ko iss baat ki bhanak na pade, ki tumhara affair chal raha hai Prithvi ke sath...They also mentioned about you taking him as your date for the farewell as well as graduation party in the college...! They said that you splited due to constant strain, and then you came back to me, after we both forgave eachother for the mistakes we both did...! He said laughing at the stupid story...This was written by Mishti for sure Kripa...I got a hacker at home, who found out, from which PC the mail was sent and it was sent from Mishti's home...! Chahta to mein ussi waqt usse batata, but after what she did before the world, I want to show her real face to the world too...! Ek din pure media ke sath, uski pol kholunga...He said angrily...Kripa sat down stunned...! Angad sat besides her pulling her in his arms...Bura laga na...I know you are shocked...! I did not want to make you feel embarrassed or hurt you anyway Kripa...Issiliye nahi bataya...Next day, unhe sari sachai aur proof diye mein ne aur dhamki bhi di ki agar unhone tumse aur humare parivar se maffi nahi mangi aur sach nahi likha, to mein unn par case kardunga aur unka press bandh karva dunga...! And it worked...! So, just forget it ok...You know what, mere bare mein bhi aise hi kuch na kuch bakwas likha tha...You know the girl who was my dance partner and who helped me during my hospital visit? Kripa slowly nodded, tab ye likha tha ki I had a affair with the girl and also with my current co-worker Mishti, who was my ex-lover and we are on good terms for now...! They wrote about me being unfaithful to you and that being the reason for our splitting...! Kripa just stared at him for few seconds, too stunned to hear all this...!
A: Just forget it Kripa...Don't think more about it...Kaha tha na mein ne, ye log baat ka batangad bana dete hai...! They just don't realize how much this costs us...! He said taking her in his arms...
K: Josh and others knew about this right? She asked suspiciously...
Angad nodded...! Josh aur Kanan ki wajah se hi saab proofs aur letters mile, jisase unhe mein ne dhamki di...!
K: Aur Mishti? Didn't she had anything to say...? She asked bitterly...Angad looked at her and slowly nodded looking out...
A: Woh itna acha mauka kaise jane deti Kripa...? Do you think, she did this just to spite me...She rubbed it on my face and I still wonder, how could she use Prithvi, her own brother for this...! Unless, Prithvi himself is involved in all this...Kripa looked up at him stunned...!
K: Agar issme Prithvi shamil hai to Angad...She looked at him with concern...
A: You thought right...He said looking at her... I don't know what future Harshini will have with him Kripa...! Though you believe him, I don't... He said frankly... Aur mein ne ye baat Josh ko batayi Kripa...It is up to him now...Par khair jaisa tumne kaha, we have no proof to prove him guilty...Neither do we have any proof against Mishti...So, we can't do anything until we find that proof and make them stand in midst of all and question them...! He said angrily...! Jab mein ne Mishti se kaha ki Kripa kabhi aisa kar hi nahi sakti, to keh rahi thi, ki may be this is true, because even Prithvi was upset for months after that, and told her that somebody broke his heart...! She said I should question you about the doctor visit as well, because may be you might have been pregnant with Prithvi's child, and you aborted his baby...! He said laughing and Kripa looked at him wide eyed once more...! Aab jo aurat, itna acha jhoot bol leti hai, with so much confidence, don't you think she would stoop lower than this too, if she wants too...! I never told her that I talked to Josh, called the hospital and asked them for a letter saying you have never been to the hospital till now and even got a letter from Senior Citizen Services, about you volunteering and going to the hospital for one of the Senior member along with Prithvi...! He said shaking his head...I gave the proofs to the paper editor and then told him the reality and asked him to apologize...! And I even told him to keep our meeting secret and not tell a soul about this...!
Kripa kept her head on his shoulder sighing...
K: Kya tumne tab bhi wahi kiya, jab ye journalists ne tumhare bare mein ulta siddha likha? She asked looking up at him...Angad looked in her eyes and slowly shook his head taking her near...
A: Meri baat aur thi...They said I was having a affair and all with my dance partner and then we splitted and all, which I denied during my interview, saying just because I was friends with few girls, and we helped eachother, doesn't mean we had affair and I said that my wife knew about it and she was staying there, because she wanted to finish her studies. Not because of my affair as she trusted me...He said smiling...Par mein ye kabhi nahi dekh sakta ki koi tumhare bare mein kuch galat likhe...! Tumhare charitra par daag lagaye...! Tumhe badnaam kare...! And this was heights...! He said bitterly...And I will make sure that Mishti pay for this...He said once again...Kripa hugged him, closing her eyes...
K: Par shak to mein ne kiya tha na tumpar uss waqt Angad...She whispered looking down guiltily...Angad looked down at her with love...
A: Par, jab mein ne samjhaya, tab to koi shak nahi tha na...! You trusted my words Kripa...And that is enough for me...! Haan tab mein aur aab mein farak hai...! You know me now...You have self-confidence and faith in yourself, and you can make out between what is right and what is wrong...Woh galti aaj karti tum, to mujhe ghussa ata...! And why not...My expectations are more from you now, than they were before...Uss samay, tum choti thi...Duniya ki samajh nahi thi, tum mein...You were gulliable...And you did not have enough faith in yourself...!
But today, you are self reliant and you understand the difference...Don't you...! Issiliye, purani baton ko mat kuredo...! Just forget the past and concentrate on present and future...!He said kissing her forehead and hugging her...!
K: Mujhe to vishwas hi nahi hota, ki Mishti itna saab karegi...She whispered frowning...
A: This shows, how crazy she is...! He said angrily...
K: Crazily in love with you? She asked with dancing eyes...Angad looked at her with raised eyebrows...
A: Nope, crazily obsessed by her own illusions, that she can break us up and win a ticket at Khanna house...He said winking and then smiling a little...Agar pyar karti, to pyar ki takat ko pehchanti, usse todne ka khwab to dur ki baat hai...! She doesn't know what love is...I thought she did, but I was mistaken...She was infactuated, but she never loved me...I can tell that for sure now...And when she lost, she just became crazy due to her failure, thinking how could she loose, when a girl like you, who did not even have confidence on herself won...! That alone made her obsesse...Woh mujhe pane ke liye ye nahi kar rahi, par tumhe harane ke liye kar rahi hai...Aur mein ye hone nahi dunga...! He said laughing and Kripa smiled hugging him...!
K: I love you...She said slowly kissing his chest...Angad grinned and hugged her...
A: Want to show, how much you love me...? He asked mischiviously...
Kripa chuckled and pushed him back...She got up at once and started walking leaving a grinning Angad behind...She stopped near the door and looked at him...
K: You don't need me to show you, how much I love you, because, you know me, in and out already, and know that I am saying the truth...Issiliye, bahane banana ki jaroorat nahi hai...! Tumhara hak hai mujh par...So, you don't need these excuses to make me yours...I will always be ready to be in your arms, whenever you want...! She said winking at him and going in with a beautiful smile and Angad just grinned at her, watching her go...But, he did not follow her...He sat there thinking about all this with a sigh...!
Kripa meanwhile went in to their bedroom and then saw her phone ringing...She frowned seeing Harshini's number...
K: Hey Harshini...she said switching on the phone...
H: Hi Kripa...Kripa, mein bahot der se tumhe phone try kar rahi thi...!
K: Sorry, mein woh bahar thi...
H: Nahi koi baat nahi...Actually Kripa, tumhe to pata hoga na ki 3-4 din pehle tumhare aur Prithvi ke bare mein jo paper mein chapa tha...! Prithvi came to know about it just yesterday night, after you left from his mother...! Usne mujhe phone karke bataya...
Kripa sighed and slowly told her that she did...But then frowned with concern...
K: Par Harshini, uske dusare din newspaper mein maffi mangi thi unn logon ne...Jab unhe asliyat ka pata chala tha tab...Please trust me, aisa kuch nahi tha humare bich...Jo 3 saal pehle hua, woh to tumhe pata hai...Par baad mein mein ne usse maaf kar diya and we were good friends...I hope you don't think that...Harshini immediately talked, stopping her...
H: Janti hun Kripa...I never thought you would betray me and I had full trust in Prithvi too...She said smiling and Kripa sighed in relief...Mein bas ye janana chahti thi, ki tum thik ho na...! It is bad that these journalists write anything they get hand on to and make problems...But atleast they apologized...! Kripa smiled thinking about Angad, who made sure of it...!
K: Haan, kabhi kabhi kismet sath de deti hai...! She said smiling and Harshini agreed...
H: You are right...Thik hai, phir raat ko milte hain hum...Prithvi ne bhi tumhare bare mein pucha mujhse, thodi der pehle...! Usse bhi phone karke bata deti hun...! He was worried about it as well, but thought it was better that I call you, as you might be embarrassed by the whole article...!
K: I am fine Harshini...Really... aur Prithvi se kehna ki Log kuch bhi bak bak kare to kya, when we know that we never commited any crime...! So, both of you, just stop worrying and think about your marriage...!
H: Thik hai, to mein rakhun, raat ko milte hain...!
K: Ek minute harshini...Are you sure you trust your love and me...? She asked slowly and Harshini stopped for a second frowning...
H: Of course I do Kripa...Aaj meri shadi hai...If I did not have enough faith in him, I would have cancelled this wedding, like my parents suggested today morning...! She said slowly and Kripa just stood there stunned...
K: Ye tu kya keh rahi hai...?
H: Haan Kripa, papa mama ne shadi cancel karne ki baat ki, ye kehkar, ki kya pata agar Prithvi sach much thik na ho...But, I told them everything and even told them that I trusted him enough and I am not going to back up now...Phir bhi unhone tumhare saan sasur se baat ki aaj abhi thodi der pehle I suppose...Kripa looked at the phone stunned and then sighed...And they seem to be fine, after talking to them and said the wedding was on...
K: Good...thik hai Harshini...Bas itna hi janana chahti thi...I am happy that you have so much trust in your love...She said genuinely...I hope you have a wonderful life with him...
H: Thanks Kripa...That means a lot to me...Bye...! She said keeping the phone ...Kripa stared at her phone for few seconds and slowly kept it down...She was relieved knowing at least Harshini had an idea about what happened and trusted Prithvi...! Though it is upto Prithvi now to see that he never break that trust ever...If he was really commited and really loved Harshini, then he would never do something he would ever regret and she still thought that he was a good and changed person, inspite of Angad's doubts...
She walked out of the room to the kitchen and started preparing something light for lunch...! She started making something, when Angad tiptoed in the room and slowly caught her in his arms...
K: Angad...she said closing her eyes, totally frightened at first touch, as she was deep in thoughts...Tumne to mujhe dara hi diya...! She said frowning a little...Angad chuckled and slowly started lifting her...Hey kya kar rahe ho...Uttaro mujhe, mein khana bana rahi hun...! She said frowning and Angad shook his head...
A: Abhi abhi to keh rahi thi...ki mera hak hai... So, I don't need any excuses to make you mine and you will always be ready to be in my arms, whenever I want...So, I want you now...He whispered winking at her and Kripa rolled her eyes...
K: Angad, khana kaun banayega...? She asked sweetly...
A: Bahar se mangayenge darling...!
K: Well then...Whateve...
Av: Kripa beta, Angad...? Kahan ho tum donon...? Avantika's voice came from out and Kripa and Angad looked at eachother sighing...
A: Kabab mein teen haddi...! He whispered...Kripa chuckled hitting him...
K: Utaro mujhe...Issase pehle ki koi andar aye...She said trying to get down, but Angad held her not leaving...Angad...
A: No way...!
K: Angad...! Please...!
A: I said no way...!
Al: Vow...Mom, yahan hai donon, romantic movie dekhni hai to aajao yahan...She said grinning and Angad frowned looking at her...! Kripa blushed and started wriggling hoping Angad let her down, before Avantika or Dilip come in...
K: Angad...! She said again looking at him and then heard Avantika and Dilip chuckle...Her cheeks were red and she looked down biting her teeth...
Al: Dekha ma, tum bhi na khama kha chinta karti ho...! Bicharon ke ache khase romantic scene mein dakhal dal diya humne...Kaha tha na mein ne ki bahar kha kar jate hain...Par nahi Kripa Angad ko sath le jate hain...and on and on...Sorry bhai, bhabhi, I tried my best, but mommy dear wouldn't listen...So here we are to take you out for lunch...She said shrugging and making it seem that she was not the one to disturb them...Avantika chuckled hitting her head and then looked at Kripa and Angad with a smile...
D: Bhai hum tum donon ko khana khane ke liye le jane aye hain...Agar chalna hai to chalo, varna hum nikalte hain...!
Angad grinned...Chaliye papa, sath chalte hain...! He said winking at Kripa...Kripa looked at him angrily...
K: Niche uttaro na mujhe Angad...she whispered and he shook his head with a frown...She looked at him with disbelief...
A: Chalo, waise bhi le jaraha tha, to bahar gadi mein hi sahi...! He said winking and everyone chuckled...Kripa bit her lips and looked at him with a frown as he walked out behind his family and he winked, quickly kissing her nose...Before she could say a word, he slowly kept her down with a smile, so she could go and get ready...! Kripa blushed a little and ran in their room, not able to look at anyone...And Angad grinned...
Al: Mom, apne bhabhi ko to itna romantic husband dhunda, mere liye bhi dhundiye na...She said grinning...Avantika rolled her eyes and Dilip laughed out loud...
Angad just smiled at her with pleased at her indirect compliments...
A: Don't worry Sis, I think, I have someone in my mind for you...Aliyah and his parents looked at him with wide eyed suddenly...
Av: Kaun hai beta...Kya karta hai? Kahan rehta hai? Angad just smiled confidently...
A: Abhi kuch nahi keh sakta mom...Give me few more days and then I will see, if he is really good for Aliyah...Aise hi kisi ko thodi na le jane dunga mein isse...! He has to pass all the tests...Not to mention romance tests as well...He said grinning and Aliyah looked at him with a frown...
D: Tum jante ho usse? Dilip asked, knowing Angad was serious about someone and Angad nodded smiling at him...
A: Bas papa khayal aa raha hai, but I am not sure still...So, let's just wait for now...
D: Thik hai beta...waise aur do-teen jagahon se bhi rishte aye hain...! Dekhte hain, iss besharam ladki ko kaun pasand ata hai...Aliyah frowned looking at him...
Al: Papa...! She whinned angrily...
D: Aur nahi to kya...? Mama papa ke samne romance ki batein karte sharam nahi ati...! He said chuckling and Avantika chuckled too...
Al: Aur ye jo ghar par movie dikhate hain, uska kya? She said rolling her eyes...Aur waise bhi it's no secret...All girls dream about their prince charming who is loving caring as well as romantic...! She said with a grin...
Av: Haan saab pata hai...! Thik hai, Angad keh raha hai to acha hi hoga...! Par jara jaldi kar beta...Mujhe iss ladki par bharosa nahi...Avantika said chuckling and Aliyah looked at her wide eyes...
Al: Mom, that is so mean...! She said angrily...But then chuckled and went to her and hugged her with a grin...
Av: Pagal ladki...! Thik hai, tere liye bhi Angad ke jaisa hi ladka dekhungi...! Jo tumhe bahot pyar de...She said smiling and kissing her cheeks...They then saw Kripa coming out of the room and grinned...Chale Kripa? She asked and she nodded looking down...Avantika and Dilip along with Aliyah grinned and went forward, leaving Angad and Kripa behind...Angad grinned and went to Kripa and kissed her cheeks...Kripa blushed looking at him and he grinned and pulled her out, keeping a hand securely around her shoulders...He was surprised to see big car, inplace of their 5 seater...They went in and sat at the back seat, which were not occupied and were off soon...They went to a nice restaurant, where they had booked a room for themselves and had lunch in leisure...After initial hesitation, Kripa too warmed up and they had wonderful time...
They came back home after couple of hours and took some rest...

PART - 26
In the evening, they all got ready for the marriage and went to the marriage hall and attended the marriage...Prithvi and Harshini got married grandly, despite of all the tensions and Kripa prayed that everything would work out for them and they have good life ahead...Soon after dinner, Kripa and her family wished them again and left for home...Kripa promised to meet them all next day evening, before they left for Mumbai...
Next day went in haze...Kripa, Avantika and Aliyah stayed at home preparing lunch, while Dilip and Angad went to the studio, to talk about the rennovations...
In the evening...Kripa and Angad along with Aliyah, went to meet Josh and others...Harshini and Prithvi were also there for the pag phera rasam...But fortunately Mishti wasn't there today and Kripa sighed in relief...
J: Nice to see you Aliyah...Josh said grinning as soon as he saw her...
Aliyah blushed a little, but then smiled...
Al: Hi... she said slowly...
J: Aao andar aao...He said smiling at Angad and Kripa...
They all greeted eachother and settled in the garden out side...
Ka: So Kripa, what are your plans now...
K: Filhal to kuch nahi Kanan...she said shrugging...
Ka: Vow, really...can't believe it, but i am glad you are taking a break...Angad pata hai, isse dekhakar to mein hi thak jati thi...Ek minute bhi free nahi rehti...itna busy schedule tha iska tumhare jane ke baad, ki appointment set karna padta tha...I always thought that she must be missing you, so she was keeping her self busy...she said grinning...and now i know that i was right...
N: Kanan darling, ye mat bhulo, ki sare jahan ke classes mein tum ne hi isse enrol kiya tha...You know like moms do it for their kids...ki mera bacha ye bhi sikhe aur yeh bhi aur woh bhi...She almost forgot to relax after a while, due to that I suppose...he said rolling his eyes...bichari Kripa mana karo to tumhara lecture sunana padta tha raat raat bhar...! To karti to kya karti...! Kanan frowned at him...Hey but see, finally, kripa could keep herself busy, when she missed Angad...So worked out just fine...he said chuckling and winking at her...
K: You both are right Nishant...Kripa said chuckling...Waise kanan ke lectures to never ending hote the...I just said yes sometimes to escape her lectures...she said grinning and Kanan looked at her wide eyes and saw the mischief dancing in her eyes...
Ka: Teri to, mein abhi dikhati hun tujhe...she said and Kripa suddenly stood back laughing and ran, while Kanan ran behind her...Kripa was amazingly fast and Kanan could not catch her...Kripa was laughing her head off, while Angad was staring at Kripa with wonder as well as happy, seeing her laughing and playing around so openly...since childhood they had never seen her play or joke around so openly...:She had always been quite and loved her own company...But today, he felt happy and satisfied to see her so happy once again...The old scars healing finally...Even Aliyah was amazed...She just stared and stared until atlast Kanan sat back tiredly, not able to run anymore...Kripa came back still chuckling and exchanged hi5's with eachother...
J: wonderful Kripa...dekha kanan, isse kehte hain keeping one self fit and healthy...Tumhe khane se pursat mile tab na...Dekho moti hoti ja rahi ho...! He said chuckling at her...
N: Hey man, stop taunting my wife...Aab iss halat mein moti nahi hogi to kya hogi...He said frowning and Kripa looked at Kanan with wide eyes, who blushed...
K: Oh my God...you are pregnant? She asked stunned and Josh got up with a frown...Kanan slowly nodded with a grin and then Kripa too frowned...And still you were running behind me...?
J: Are you mad...?
Ka: Hey common...Do you think, i would risk my baby's health...! She said rolling her eyes...Tum donon bhi na, bilkul pagal ho...! Agar iski fikar nahi hoti na, Kripa ko do minute mein pakad leti...She could never beat me...she said grinning...
P: I agree with Kanan...! Prithvi said laughing and joining them...
K: congrats Kanan...Kripa said smiling and going to her...Kanan chuckled and hugged her...
Ka: Thanks Kripa...We will miss you...
J: Kripa iski baton mein mat ana...Iska matlab hai ki yeh tumhare cooking ko miss karegi...Abb samjha, ki aaj subah issse tumhare paneer ke parathe kyun yaad aa rahe the...He said chuckling and hugging his sister, who made faces at him, but then grinned and hugged him..,...
Ka: Pehli baar Josh se sehmat hun mein...She said winking at Kripa, who chuckled...
Aliyah looked at Kanan and Josh with a smile...They had a wonderful bond...! Josh's gaze fell on her and the time stilled for them...
K: Prithvi Harshini kahan hai? She asked frowning...
P: Panch dus minute mein aayegi Kripa...Yahan kisi neighbour se milne gayi hai... Kripa nodded...Soon Harshini came and greeted everyone...
J: Hey we should play some game...To make this last night here memorable...
Ka: Couple game...! Kanan said grinnig...
J: hey, not fair...I suggested it aur tum mujhe hi game se bahar nikal rahi ho?
Ka: Mein ne kab tumhe bahar nikala...She said smiling at him with mischief...Josh looked at her with eybrows up...Dekho, mein aur Nishant, Prithvi Harshini, Angad Kripa aur tum Aliyah ka sath dena...See, perfect...! Right...:.She said and Aliyah who was drinking juice suddenly choked, coughing in the process...Kripa bit her lips, from stopping ber self from laughing and looked at Kanan and then Josh...Josh could do nothing but stare at Aliyah...
K: tum thik ho? Kripa asked at last...And Aliyah nodded slowly settling down...Angad looked at Kripa with eyebrows up and she shook her head smiling...
Ka: so, everyone up for the game...She asked smiling and looking at Josh, who frowned at her...nahi, agar khelna nahi ho to, thik hai...She said shrugging and Josh made faces...
J: I am ready, if Aliyah is...He said looking at Aliyah, who blushed...
Ka: Kyun Aliyah, u ok? She asked grinning...Aliyah smiled a little, but slowly nodded...Vow, chalo phir...!
H: Par Kanan , game kya hai? She asked grinning...
Ka: We take a bottle, spin it around and who ever couple it will point to, they will have to do what ever they are asked to...She said grinning...
A: Sounds good...Angad said winking at Kripa...Kanan chuckled...
Josh went inside and bought a empty bottle and while others arranged the chairs around the table in pairs...Soon all were seated with their partners and Aliyah nervously waited for Josh... Soon he was back and sat with Aliyah looking at her...Aliyah looked away blushing...Kripa could see that they were attracted to each other and even knew what Kanan was doing...! She smiled with a grin and then slowly looked at Angad who was staring at her...They just stared at eachother, until Kanan called out...
Ka: Game shuru kare...? She said and Spinned the bottle...They all waited till it stopped and looked at Prithvi and Hardhini with a grin...
P: Kahiye, kya karna hai hume...?
J: Tell your wife one secret of your life, she doesn't know and ask her to tell us that...! He said smiling... Prithvi frowned and then thought...He whispered somehing in her ear and Harshini looked at him with wide eyes...He just shruggeed and Harshini made faces and looked at everyone...
H: He said, that he hated me for months, when we met...! She said angrily...And everyone started laughing...
J: Common Sis, at least he is honest about it...Why don't you tell him the feeling was mutual...And it was no secret to us...Aur uss time tum donon ka mood dekhne layak tha...We could literally see the fumes...we could see his anger in his eyes...Of course, if I would be in his place, i would have been angry too...Harshini looked at him with wide eyes...Haan ye baat alag hai, ki jaab isne hum se paise lene ke liye mana kiya, you got all squeshy on him...Fell in love and...Josh started laughing and Harshini hit his arm angrily...
Ka: common Harshini, we know the circumstances you met in...she said laughing...
A: Matlab?
Ka: Matlab ye ki Harshini ne Prithvi ke brand new car ko jakar humari car se dhaka de diya...! Aur na iske paas insuarance tha na driving permit...She said chuckling...Bichara Prithvi, we offered to pay ofcourse, but he said he had insuarance...Baad mein pata chala ki iska insuarance premium badh gaya...! Kripa chuckled remembering it...
A: par tumhara bhi to car ka problem hua...!
P: Difference is Kanan's car was 17 years old and my car was 17 days old...! He said rolling his eyes...
H: hey it was accident...! And I said sorry...You just can't let it go...can you...!
P: How can I Mrs. Bose, when that was the time I first met you? He said chuckling and Harshini blushed, making others laugh as well...Prithvi grinned and spinned the bottle around...
It stopped in front of Angad...
N: Ok both of you...Tell us when did you realize, you were in love with eachother...
Angad grinned...
A: I fell in love on our first date, when I kissed her for the first time...! He said confidently...looking at Kripa with a grin, who blushed...
J: Common Kripa, your turn...
K: I always liked him, but I really realized my feelings when Angad came to Delhi, leaving his college tour, after my second year...I missed him and thought, only if he was there, coming back would have been easy...I realized that moment, what he was for me and wished he was by me that very moment and there he was...She said looking in his eyes...Angad looked at her with love and understanding and smiled at her, and Kripa blushed and looked down...
Al: Vow bhabhi...Aapko ek saal lage bhaiya ko apne dil ki baat kehne...Itne din sath rahe wahan, phir bhi...? She asked grinning...
Ka: Sath kahan rahe the? If I am sure, they started staying together once they came to India...! Right Kripa...Kanan said frowning...Yeah apart India tour...And the Europe tour...!
Aliyah looked at Angad and Kripa wide eyed who smiled and nodded...
A: Haan Aliyah, mein aur Kripa US mein kabhi ek sath nahi rahe...We stayed separately in our college hostels...Aliyah looked at them open mouthed...She knew about the second year, but not about the first year, when they first went to US after marriage...!
Al: Vow...! That's a news...Mom and dad would faint, if they get to know this...!
Angad just chuckled, but Kripa looked at Angad with a frown...
K: She is right you know...Hume mama papa ko saab batana chahiye...
A: Common Kripa...They already know...! Do you think media people would not have told about it...! He said chuckling...!
Al: Then how come I don't know about it...
A: Office se pursat mile to malum hoga na maam...! He said rolling his eyes and Aliyah frowned looking at him and made faces...! Kripa sighed in relief...!
J: I still did not understand your reason for staying apart...But anyway, good it is behind you and you are now together at last...! He said taking the bottle and spinning it...And then to his horror, the bottle stopped in front of him and Aliyah looked at him angrily...What, I did not tell this bottle to face us...! He said mockingly, making everyone but Aliyah to chuckle...
Ka: Ok...My turn to tell you what to do...! Kanan said immediately...Ask your partner, if they were ever in love with anyone, or ever liked anyone and then tell us what the other told you...! She said grinning...! Aliyah bit her lips while Josh chuckled looking at Aliyah...
Josh went near Aliyah and told Aliyah in her ears and Aliyah looked down...! Josh smiled at Aliyah, and waited for her to reply back...Aliyah bit her lips looking at him and slowly went near him and gave him her answer...Josh just stared at her for few minutes and then smiled ...
Ka: So...?
Josh looked at Aliyah and she looked down...
Al: Josh said, that he never was in love before...But likes someone, and would want to know her...! She said slowly...Josh looked at her with eyebrows up and she slowly looked down...Kripa stared at them, knowing Aliyah wasn't being totally honest...
J: And she said that she never was in love before...! He said slowly looking at her...! Kanan just grinned...!
Ka: So, bhai, care to tell who you are interested in...?
J: Not until I am sure...! He said with a sweet smile and Kanan made faces, but grinned...
Ka: Fair enough...She said looking at Kripa, who looked at her with a smile and nodded...
Angad did not miss their interaction and smiled...He was thinking about Josh for Aliyah as well...! And it seemed that Kripa and he were on the same boat...He somehow felt that Aliyah and Josh were attracted to eachother...!
Angad grinned and took the bottle and started spinning...Soon, it pointed to Prithvi and Harshini and Kripa said she wanted to ask them something...
K: What would you do if you had to prove your love and trust to the other someday...If someone tries to break you apart...? She asked slowly and Prithvi frowned looking at Kripa...She just smiled and waited...Prithvi smiled...
P: True love never needs any proof and I am one lucky person, that Harhini had proved that to me, by trusting me after all I was...! He said smiling at Harshini...And as far as Harshini proving her self, then I don't need any proof at all as well, because I have full faith in her, because she showed me how much she loves me by accepting me...I wouldn't ever ask her to prove her love to me, because I trust her completely, like she does...! He said smiling confidently at Harshini and Kripa smiled relieved to hear his answer...Prithvi looked at her and smiled...Love changes the way people think and live...! Doesn't it...He asked her and Kripa nodded with a smile...
J: Nice to know that Prithvi...! I hope you take care of her...!
P: I will...I promise...! He said smiling at him and Josh nodded...Angad kept quite, not wanting to say anything...! Harshini smiled shyly looking at him...
Prithvi spinned the bottle and it stopped in front of Kanan and Nishant...
H: Where did you both first meet and how did you both tell eachother about your feelings...?
Kanan bit her lips, and then suddenly started laughing...Nishant looked at her angrily...
Ka: We met in ladies restroom, where he accidently got in, and then locked himself when he heard ladies coming in and stayed until everyone was gone...He slowly walked out a little embarrassed after a while and I just walked in and stood there stunned...I was about to shout, when he closed my mouth and apologized saying he accidently came in and he was sorry and requested me not to shout...! She said looking at Nishant and laughing again...!
J: Vow...Ladies restroom...? He asked chuckling...Nishant rolled his eyes...
N: Hey, I was tensed as I was not able to concentrate on my exams and I just did not see the sign properly...I did not do it purposefully...! Mein iski tarah besharam nahi tha...! Ask her how she told me about her feelings...! Someone dared her to kiss a boy in a party and declare that she loved him and she walked straight to me and kissed me senseless, before I could react and said she loved me...! He said rolling his eyes...I thought she was joking and looked at her and she smiled and said, that she wasn't kidding around and she really loved me...!
Ka: And I had to go behind him day and night, until finally he accepted me and said that he loved me as well...She said rolling her eyes...Nishant chuckled...
N: Hey mein siddha sadha Hindustani ladka tha...! Aur tum ultra modern American...! Mein jald baji mein galat faisla nahi karna chahta tha...So, daar gaya tha, tumse, ye sochkar ki kahin tum psychic to nahi ho...! He said chuckling...Kanan hit him angrily, while he grinned...Nishant spinned the bottle and it pointed back at Josh...!
Kripa grinned...So, Josh, if you meet the girl who you like, what would you say to her? She asked mischiviously...
Aliyah looked at her with a frown and Kripa grinned...
Josh chuckled...I would tell her how beautiful she is, that I am attracted to her and would want to see if this is mere attraction, or love, which I never experienced...And if she was ok, I would want to stay in touch with her, until I am sure...! He said smiling...
A: And what about you Aliyah? What would you say, if some one says you what Josh told you? Angad asked looking at her with a smile...Aliyah looked at Angad wide eyed and he shrugged, indicating her that it was a mere question...! But everyone knew what was going on there...
Aliyah smiled and then boldly replied...I would say, I would very much like to keep in contact as well and see the same...! And, I would say,that the feelings are mutual...She said grinning at Josh...! Who smiled at her with appreciation...Kripa and Angad along with Kanan and Nishant chuckled...
H: Oh my God...You both like eachother...? Harshini asked shocked and even Prithvi looked surprised...Josh just grinned...while Aliyah smiled shyly biting her lips and looked at Kripa, who grinned at her...
J: Now that you got what you want...why don't we do something exciting, instead of talking...
Ka: Like what...?
J: Like, ask Angad Kripa to sing for us together ...
Everyone looked at Angad and Kripa and Angad chuckled...
A: Sure, why not...! He said...Par ek shart par...Other's dance with their partners...! He said grinning...Josh chuckled nodding...
J: Sure...I am all for it and I don't think, others have a problem as well...He said looking at Aliyah, who blushed a little, bititng her lips... Josh went in and bought his guitar and handed it to Angad ...Angad looked at Kripa with love and slowly started singing...His eyes only for her...

At last the song concluded and everyone clapped loudly, whistling and shouting together...
Ka: Wonderful team work guys...! And that is the end...! Chalo, andar chalkar kuch chai nashta ho jaye...! She said grinning...Nishant chuckled pulling her in, knowing she must be hungry...Others too went in understanding her eagerness to have something to eat...!
They all sat and had some snacks and drinks and finally Angad, Kripa and Aliyah bid bye to everyone...
Ka: Kripa, phone karti rehna, aur online aana...She said hugging her...
K: Sure Kanan, I am gonna miss you guys...She said emotionally, hugging her...Kanan too blinked her eyes and smiled...
Ka: Don't worry...Nishant ki ma chahti hai, ki meri delivery yahan India mein unke ghar mein hi ho...So, I will be here in another 6-7 months...!
K: Vow, really? Kripa said suddenly happy...
Ka: Ya, woh to ye chahti hain, ki hum yahan shift ho jaye...But I am a little reluctant...May be someday...She said sighing...Kripa nodded with a smile, understanding her...Kanan and Josh were born and bought up in US, though their roots were here...! So, naturally, they were reluctant to leave the land they were born in...!
Josh too hugged Angad and then kept a hand around Kripa and patted her...!
J: Don't worry, we will keep meeting...! He said winking and Kripa chuckled...
K: Janti hun...Tumhari khabar to regular ati hi rahegi aab...! She said laughing...! Kripa went to Harshini and hugged her...Have a wonderful life Harshini...! She said smiling and Harshini thanked her...Tumhare paas to mera email id hain na...Keep in touch...!
H: Sure Kripa...! Kripa then looked at Prithvi...
K: Bye Prithvi...Take care of her...She said smiling and Prithvi nodded...
P: Tum bhi apna khayal rakhna...And be in touch...! He said smiling...Kripa nodded...Angad came besides her and smiled and shook hand with Prithvi, though reluctantly...! He wished them both and then they all walked out...Josh who was besides Aliyah, slowly handed her a chit, after seeing everyone else busy...Aliyah looked at him a little surprised, but Josh just smiled...She waved at everyone, thanking them for inviting and soon they left...
Aliyah was deep in her own thoughts and Kripa and Angad grinned looking at her...They stared at eachother with understanding, but remained quite...
They reached home by 8, where Dilip and Avantika were all ready to leave...Angad Kripa and Aliyah quickly freshened up and soon they were on their way to airport...
They reached home late night and went straight to bed, after having light dinner...!
Kripa was asleep in minutes, even before Angad came out from the restroom...He smiled looking at Kripa and slowly went near her and fell asleep, taking her in his arms...!
Kripa woke up late, and frowned looking at the time...It was aournd 10...She looked around the room, but did not find Angad...She quickly woke up, made the bed and went to freshen up...She was down in half hour and found Avantika sitting on the sofa with her tea...She smiled as she saw Kripa coming down...
K: Sorry ma, pata nahi ankh khuli hi nahi subah...
Av: To koi baat nahi beta...chal nashta deti hun tujhe...Hum saab ka to kab ka ho gaya...
K: Saab kahan hai?
Av: Aliyah, Kartik, Priya aur papa, saab office chale gaye hain aur Angad studio gaya hai...Uske aab next shows ke reharsels shuru ho gaye hain...! Kripa smiled nodding...She went with Avantika and had her breakfast talking with Avantika for an hour or so...Kripa, khane par tu aaj akeli hi hai, kyun ki mujhe tumhare papa ke sath unke kisi business party mein jana hai...!
K: Koi baat nahi ma...Mera waise bhi bahot pet bhar gaya hai...Dekhiye 12 bajne ko hai waise bhi...Mein jara mere documents aur baki saab cheezen thik se rakh deti hun...Ane ke baad time hi nahi mila waise bhi aur Delhi se jo saman le ayi hun, woh bhi dekhne hai mujhe...Aap jakar aaiye...
Av: Thik hai beta, mein chalun...Taiyar hokar nikalungi...Kahin jana ho to kisi ko batakar jana...! Aur gadi le jana...!
K: Ji ma...! She said smiling and soon Avantika left after caressing her cheeks...Kripa went out in the garden for a walk...She sat there for an hour or so and then went in...She went to their room and kept the things properly and was done in an hour or so...It was 2 and she sighed sitting in the bed...She did not know what to do...! How was she going to stay idol all through the day, this way...? She thought frowning...! She surfed through net for an hour or so, and still no one was home...She went down in the kitchen and sighed, seeing no one there...Teady would be coming to make dinner after couple of hours more...So she had kitchen to herself...She then got an idea and started making couple of cakes, she had learned in US...She got busy for next 2 hours...Teady came around 5 and she sent him back home, saying he could take a break today and enjoy with his family and started preparing dinner...Avantika had called her saying she would be coming home with Dilip in the evening, as some of the friends, asked her to stay...She asked if she was fine, and Kripa said she was and not to worry and got busy with cooking...It took some time to prepare food for7 people, as she mostly prepared food for herself or for her and Kanan, for last 4 years...! But she was atlast done by 7...She frowned looking at the time...No one was home still and Angad had not even called since morning...! She made faces and started cleaning the huge mess, she had created...She was half way through, when she heard voices outside...She could hear Priya and Kartik talking about some meeting...She was almost done with the dishes and then started cleaning the floor as she did not want Teady to find the mess in the kitchen the next day...Avantika who had come back, looked at Kripa with a frown...
Av: Kripa, ye saab kaam tum kyun kar rahi ho...? Teady kahan gaya...? She asked looking around...
K: Ma, mein ne usse ghar bhej diya...Aab pura din ghar mein mujhe bhi kuch kaam nahi tha, to bas socha ki sham ka khana hi bana dun...She said smiling...
D: Beta, woh madad kar deta tumhari...! Kuch nahi to cleaning mein hi madad kar deta...Tum kyun ye saab kar rahi ho...!
K: Papa, to koi baat nahi hai...Pehle bhi to karti thi na...She said smiling...Dilip frowned shaking his head...He did not feel good about Kripa doing the house work at all...! He slowly left looking at Avantika with disapproval, while Avantika too felt bad for leaving Kripa all alone in the house...! Though she had stayed alone before, that was when she was in high school or college, when she got busy in her homework and studies...But, now she had nothing to do and after a busy schedule in US, she must be feeling bored...!
Av: Hum abhi change karke ate hain Kripa...Tum rehne do ye saab...Teady subah kar lega...She said slowly...
K: Bas ma, ho gaya...! Aap jaiye, mein khana laga deti hun...Baki saab aa gaye?
Av: Haan...Bas Angad nahi aaya...Subah kaha tha mujhse, ki aaj jara busy hai...Aaa jayega...Tumhe phone kiya tha...?
K: Nahi ma...Shayad time nahi mila hoga...She said slowly...
Avantika sighed and nodded and left the room reluctantly, feeling odd that Kripa was doing the house work...In last 4-5 months, they had got used to servants doing the house work...! And Kripa was now Angad's wife, who was the reason they had purchased this big house...Yeah Kartik contributed, but still a very small amout as his money was still invested in his business and Angad had also not taken the money which they got selling their old house, keeping it in the joint account of Dilip and Avantika instead...Angad was about to name his dad as the owner of this house, but Dilip had declined and so had Avantika...Kartik and Priya too declined and everyone had told him to take the house in his and Kripa's name...Angad had done so reluctantly, even trying to persuade them at the last moment, but they knew that it was his hard earned money and they wanted it in his name...So as per that, Kripa was joint owner of this house, and still here she was sitting all alone here doing the house and kitchen work, when she should be the one, who should enjoy the perks of being a wife of her successful husband...She sighed and changed her clothes and was about to go, when Dilip stopped her...!
D: Avantika, tum Kripa se baat karo...Mujhe ye bilkul bhi acha nahi laga, ki woh bichari akele aise ghar ka kaam kar rahi hai...Pehle ki baat alag hai...Par aab humme se koi ghar ka kaam nahi karta, saab naukar karte hain...To aise aab woh akeli kaam karegi, to acha nahi lagta...He said sighing looking at her and Avantika slowly nodded...She walked down, in her own thoughts...
Kripa quickly arranged the table after she was done cleaning...Soon everyone was down...
P: Kaisi ho Kripa...Priya asked immediately smiling and looking at Kripa as she had met after almost a month...
K: Thik hun bhabhi...Aap kaise ho...? She asked smiling affectionately...
P: As usual, over the top...She grinned...
Ka: Aur trip kaisa hua tumhara?
K: Trip bhi acha tha bhaiya...Aiye, baithiye...She said getting up...
Ka: Are baitho tum Kripa...He said chuckling seeing the same old Kripa who always arranged the table and attended to everyone...Aliyah too came in tired and sat down smiling at Kripa, who started serving...
P: Teady kahan gaya...Woh serve karega, tum baitho Kripa...
Av: Isne usse ghar jo bhej diya...Kahan se serve karega...Avantika said rolling her eyes and coming in the room...
Ka: Ghar kyun bhej diya? Kartik asked frowning...
K: Kuch nahi bhaiya, bas aise hi...Socha, usse bhi apne family ke saath time mil jayega...She said chuckling and serving the plate...
Priya started getting up, when Kripa stopped her...
K: Bhabhi baithiye aur khana khaiye...Subah se office mein thi na...! Aap thak gayi hongi...!
P: nahi mein...
K: Baithiye bhabhi...Kripa said serving her plate and Priya sighed and sat back...
Avantika and Dilip sat as well and asked Kripa, where her plate was...
K: Ma mein Angad ke sath khaungi...Aap kha lijiye...
Al: Bhabhi, bhaiya ko aaj der hone wala hai...Unka meeting hai nau baje tak...
K: Koi baat nahi Aliyah, waise bhi ye saab chakhte chakhte mera adha pet waise hi bhar gaya hai...Woh adat nahi thi na, itne logon ka khana banane ki...To thoda confusion ho raha tha...She said guiltily to Avantika, who chuckled nodding...
Av: Par beta, uske liye mat ruk, thoda kha le humare sath...!
K: Nahi ma, sach...abhi bhuk bhi nahi hai...Meri adat hai raat ko der se khane ki...So, aap chinta mat kijiye...! They sighed at last and had their dinner...Kripa then served them all cake and they were surprised...
Al: Vow bhabhi...This is amazing...Kahan se sikha? She asked eating her cake...
K: Bas 3-4 baar aise hi classes le liya...Time pass ke liye...Socha try karun...Acha laga...?
P: Amazing...Superb...! Priya said grinning and Kartik and others agreed...At last they were all done and went to wash their hands, when Kripa started taking everything inside...Avantika and Priya joined her and helped her, inspite of Kripa asking them to rest...Soon they were done and went to sit in the family room for a while...After a while Dilip, Kartik and Priya became busy talking about business, while Aliyah had already gone to her room...Avantika was also tired and asked Kripa to have her dinner by 9.30, if Angad wasn't home and then walked up...Kripa bid good night to others and then slowly went out to the gardens...!
She sat there looking at couple of stars up in the sky and lost track of time...She soon fell asleep...
Around 2 at night, Angad came home tired after the long ordeal...He had meetings after meetings, until he was down on his face...! There were few problems with the instruments as well as security as well as sponsors, which he had to solve...Had problem in last weeks shoot and had to retake it and see it again...! It went on and on, that he did not even had time to talk to Kripa...He felt bad about it, but he did not have any option...Mishti had been besides him all the time, until at last he had asked her to go home at around 10, when he went to meet their next sponsor, on their request...Thankfully, they had arranged for dinner, so he had his dinner and talked to them about the funds and other things and around 1.30 was finally free...! Two weeks of pending work ! He thought sighing...He walked up the stairs almost ready to fall...But he made it anyway and slowly opened their door...It was all dark, and he did not want to wake Kripa, so went to the restroom directly and changed and took his shower...! He sat on the bed, feeling a lot better and suddenly he noticed that the bed was empty...! He frowned and quickly switched on the light...But the room was empty...He opened the patio curtains, but Kripa wasn't there as well...He went to see in the other empty rooms and even checked Aliyah's room, where Aliyah was fast asleep...He ran down a little worriedly and went around the house, including his studio, but Kripa was nowhere...He ran up and knocked on his parents door...Dilip opened the door after couple of minutes...
D: Are Angad...kya baat hai...? Itni raat ko kya kar rahe ho? Saab thik hai na...
A: Papa, Kripa kahan hai, pata hai?
D: Room mein nahi hai...?
A: Nahi to...He said frowning...
D: Yahin kahin hogi Angad...Tum ghar kab aye? He asked frowning...
A: Bas papa, abhi 15-20 minute pehle...He said running to his room...He looked in the closet of his room and patio once more, Dilip too came in frowning and looked around...Angad's heart started beating...
D: Raat ko yahin to thi...Hum log khana khakar thodi der family room mein baithe the...Ussane khana bhi nahi khaya...Keh rahi thi tumhare sath khayegi...Phir apne room chali gayi...He said frowning...Aliyah ke room mein dekha...? Shayad wahan so gayi ho...!
A: Haan papa, wahan dekha...
Av: Kya hua Angad...? Avantika said frowning, coming in as well...
D: Kripa kahin dikhai nahi de rahi Avantika...!
Av: Kya...thik se dekha...? Yahin kahin hogi...Tum abhi aye Angad? She asked frowning...
A: Haan ma...He said worriedly...
Av: Shayad kitchen mein ya dinning mein hogi...
A: Nahi ma, saab jagah dekha...He said walking out...They looked around the house and went in the backyard as well...But they couldn't see Kripa as she was sleeping on the bench, wasn't visible in the dark...! Angad was half in sweat and ran from room to room with worry once more looking for her...
Av: Yahin to thi...Kahan gayi hogi...she asked Dilip worriedly...Dilip called the security person and asked if Kripa had gone out of the house and they said that she hadn't...He asked them to see around the house for Kripa and they went off, while Angad was almost sick with worry...He took his cell phone all ready to call police, when the security person came in...
S: Sir...Kripa madam, piche back yard ke bench par so rahi hai...! He said sighing...
Angad frowned and ran towards the garden and closed his eyes in relief, as soon as he saw her...! Avantika and Dilip followed as well and sighed, when they saw her...
Avantika went to Kripa and started waking her with a frown...
Av: Kripa...Beta...chalo andar chal kar so jao...She said slowly keeping a hand on her shoulder...But Kripa was totally knocked and hardly moved...
A: Ma, mein le jata hun...Angad said slowly and Avantika looked at him and then slowly nodded...His hands shook a little, as he lifted her, as he was still shaking with fear...
He slowly took her in his arms, while she was fast asleep and hardly moved...He took her up, without looking at his parents, who went behind him after locking the back door...
Angad kept looking at Kripa, trying to stop his beating heart...He had almost freaked out, when he couldn't find her at home...He did not know, why this unknown fear kept creeping him...But, somewhere in his heart, he was really afraid about loosing her...!
He slowly kept her on the bed, and Kripa settled on the pillow with a sigh...Angad closed his eyes and slowly pulled up the covers and covered her...! He stood and looked down tiredly...A hand on his shoulder jerked him out of his fear...
D: So jao Angad...Tum bhi thak gaye ho...He said slowly and Angad nodded...
Av: Tune khana khaya?
A: Haan ma mein ne kha liya...Avantika sighed shaking her head...Tu ek phone karke nahi bata sakta tha isse...Bichari, tera intajar karte karte so gayi...khana bhi nahi khaya isne...She said sighing...
A: Ma, woh time hi nahi mila...He said sighing...
D: Chalo aab...kaffi raat ho gayi hai...Avantika kal baat kare...so jao Angad...! He said pulling Avantika out...
Angad closed the door after they left and walked to the bed and sat besides Kripa tiredly...He felt bad to keep her waiting...He slowly sighed and caressed her hairs and slipped inside the covers and gathered her close in his arms...He had been terrified today, when he couldn't find her...! He shook his head, kissing her ears lightly and closed his eyes, trying to relax...But still sleep was far away...He still felt his heart beating loudly with fear and he pulled Kripa near and hugged her tightly, as Kripa settled herself with him...She was deep in sleep and Angad tried not to disturb her and kept looking at her until he was fast asleep...!
Kripa woke up next day early morning around 6.30...She got up with a jerk, thinking she was still in the gardens, where she fell asleep...But then when she opened her eyes, she saw that she was in their room...She frowned looking around and then found Angad sleeping besides her...When did she come up...She thought confused...She was feeling lonely and did not feel like going to her room...So, she thought of waiting in the gardens for Angad, as she knew that he would search for her and comeout to see if she was there...But soon an hour passed by and then two...But Angad wasn't back and she lay down tiredly and did not remember anything after that...! She again thought about it but then looked at Angad...Did by any chance Angad bought her here, or she walked up tired in her sleep...But she should have known, if he lifted her right...She thought confused...At last she just shook her head and went to freshen up...She was out in 20 minutes and got ready...
She was brushing her hairs, when she saw Angad steering and kept looking in the mirror, as he stretched and slowly opened his eyes...She had missed him yesterday...And it had been 3 days since he had taken her in his arms...She thought looking down with a sigh...She kept brushing her hairs, lost in her own thoughts...Slowly, she realized that he was staring at her and she looked up and their eyes met through mirror...She just for a second froze looking at him, but then slowly sighed and smiled...
K: Tum raat ko kab aye...? She asked turning around...
A: Jab tum gehri neend mein thi...He replied without smiling...
K: Sorry...she said sighing...Pata nahi kab ankh lag gayi...Tum ne khana khaya na raat ko? She asked frowning suddenly...When he nodded, she sighed in relief...She slowly kept her brush down and got up...Aise kya dekh rahe ho? She asked smiling, as he stared at her...!
Angad slowly pointed her to come near and she blushed...But she did what he said...He pointed her to sit next to him and she did...
A: Bina khana khaye tum so gayi, aur phir bhi meri chinta kar rahi ho? He asked making faces...Kripa looked down slowly...But then looked up again...
K: Tumhe kaise pata chala ki mein ne khana nahi khaya? She asked slowly...
A: Ma ne bataya...! He said looking at her...Kripa bit her lips...
K: Ma waisi hi thaki hui thi, aur meri wajah se unki neend bhi nahi hui...! She said guiltily...Sorry Angad...Par Angad, kal mein yahan thi ya bahar so rahi thi? She asked confused...
A: Yahin thi...kyun? He asked with raised eyebrows...
K: Pata nahi...mujhe kuch yaad nahi aa raha...Mujhe laga ki mujhe bahar neend lag gayi, par aaj subah ankh khuli to apne aap ko yahan dekhkar thoda pareshan ho gayi...! She said confused...Angad suppressed his laugh, by biting his tongue...
A: Kripa, tumhari tabiyat to thik hai na...! Aaj kal dhyan kahan rehta hai tumhara...Uss din purane ghar chali gayi, aur aab ye...! He said looking at her with a frown...Kahin US mein tumhe saar par chot wot to nahi lagi na...? He asked looking at her worriedly...Kripa frowned at him...
K: Aisi koi baat nahi hai Angad...Tum bhi na...Jane do aab woh saab aur kaho, kahan the pura din kal...
A: Pehle meri baat ka jawab do...Khana kyun nahi khaya kal saab ke sath?
Kripa sighed...Maan nahi lag raha tha Angad...Issiliye...
Angad shook his head...! Tum bhi na...Agar dubara bhuki so gayi to dekhna, mujh se bura koi nahi hoga...
K: Bure to tum aab bhi ho...Kal pura din kahan the tum...Ek baar bhi phone nahi kiya...! Aur uppar se itna late aye...Aur ulta mujhe dant rahe ho? She asked angrily...Angad rolled his eyes, but chuckled, seeing her cute face...
A: Sorry...maffi milegi...? He asked touching his ears...Please...He said looking at Kripa's angry face...Kripa made faces, but nodded...Hey aise nahi, muskurake...He said and Kripa rolled her eyes, but smiled...That's better...! Par phir bhi...Tumhe khana kha lena chahiye tha...!
K: Aab behes karte rahenge, to saab nikal jayenge office ke liye, aur sham tak koi nahi dikhega...! Chalo jaldi nashta karne...Bahot bhuk lagi hai...! She said pulling him up...She couldn't even bulge him, but instead, Angad pulled her down on him...Kripa bit her lips shyly...But she too had been waiting for him to take her in his arms...She slowly kept her head on his chest and sighed with content...She found her home in his heart...And today she had her family with her...She wasn't alone anymore...!
Angad too sighed, feeling relieved to see her in front of him fit and fine...He slowly caressed her hairs and kissed her forehead looking down at her...Kripa slowly looked up and their lips met...They savored the moment for a long time until at last, they were short of breathe and slowly looked at eachother...
A: I missed you...He whispered tucking her hairs, which fell on him...Kripa smiled and looked at him...
K: Me too...she whispered kissing his chin lightly...Angad smiled and hugged her tightly kissing her shoulder and neck and inhaling the sweet shampoo smell...! Angad...
A: Hmmm...he said caressing her neck with his lips...
K: Chalo na, sach bahot bhuk lagi hai...She whispered and Angad sighed with a smile...
A: Thik hai baba...Bas ek chota sa kiss...He said with a grin and quickly kissed her on her lips tightly and then looked at her...She blushed and slowly sat up, as his hands loosened...Tum chalo niche...Mein ata hun...!
Kripa shook her head...and he raised his eye brows...
K: Tum taiyar hokar aao...Phir sath chalte hain...Nahi to saab datenge...! She said looking down...Angad frowned...
A: Kyun? He asked confused...
K: Woh kal raat khana nahi khaya, iss liye...
A: Haan...yeh baat to hai...Good...I would love to see that now...He said grinning and Kripa frowned...
K: Angad...Jao...bahot bure ho tum...She said making faces and walking towards the door...
A: Sach...? He asked getting up...Kripa stopped at the door and turned to look at him...She chuckled shaking her head...
K: Nahi...Jhoot...! She said laughing and going out of the room...Angad chuckled shaking his head and scratched his head...and went to freshen up...
Kripa mean while went down where everyone were seated...Priya looked at her and smiled...
P: Vow...good to see you in the morning...She said grinning...
Ka: Good morning Kripa...
Al: Good morning bhabhi...She said smiling...
K: Good morning...Kripa said smiling at them all and then looked at Dilip and Avantika who stared at her...Laiye ma, mein kat deti hun woh...She said taking the cutting plate in her hands...
Av: Koi jarorat nahi hai...Baitho aur nashta karo...Avantika said angrily...
K: Ma, mein woh...
Av: Bas, bilkul chup...Kuch nahi sunana mujhe...! Aab baitho aur nashta karo...! She said angrily...Priya, Kartik as well as Aliyah looked at her surprised...
Al: Mom...
Av: Tu chup hi reh Aliyah...aaj iski wakalat mat kar...Bahot jyada lad ho gaye hain iske, tabhi sar par baith gayi hai...! Apni maan mani karne lagi hai...! Aab se jo kahungi wahi karogi...Samjhi...! She said and Kripa looked down slowly and nodded...!
D: Kripa beta, aise khana skip karna achi baat nahi...Tumhare sehet ke liye bhi thik nahi...Angad ke liye wait karna achi baat hai, par ek limit tak...Pata nahi kal jaisa koi kaam aa gaya aur woh tumhe phone na kar sake...! Par tum to samajhdar ho na...Khana khakar, baad mein uske sath baith jaya karo...To thik hai...! Par aise bhuke pet so jaogi to tabiyat kharab ho jayegi tumhari...Issiliye ayinda dhyan dena...! He said slowly and Kripa looked at him and slowly nodded...
K: Ji papa...
P: Tum ne khana nahi khaya kal Kripa? Priya asked frowning...
K: Nahi, woh intajar karte karte ankh lag gayi...
Av: Woh bhi kahan, bahar bench par...Aur itni gehri neend, ki kuch hosh nahi tha isse...She said shaking her head...Kripa looked at her wide eyed...
K: Mein bahar thi? She asked frowning...
Av: Aur nahi to kya...?
K: Par Angad ne kaha ki mein room mein hi thi...! She said confused...
Dilip chuckled...Nahi beta, tumhe itni gehri neend lag gayi ki uth nahi rahi thi...So, Angad tumhe le gaya uppar...
Av: Aur uppar se raat ke do baje itna dara diya hum saab ko...!
K: Mein ne daraya? She asked frowning even more and everyone looked at Avantika confused...Avantika told her what happened at night and everyone just sat there shocked looking at them and Aliyah started laughing and then Kartik followed...Priya just smiled and shook her head, and continued her eating...
Av: Haan aab to hansi aa rahi hai, kal raat ko uthate na, to dekhti...! She said rolling her eyes, but smiling a little...Ye dusari baar hai ki tumne Angad ko itna dara diya, ki uske hanth kanp rahe the kal, tumhe uthate samay...! Kripa looked down guiltily, blinking her tears...!
K: Sorry ma...Woh uppar bahot bor ho rahi thi, issliye bahar baith gayi...Socha Angad ate hi dekh lega, par phir neend ane lagi to bench par let gayi aur pata nahi kab ankh lag gayi...! She said looking at her guiltily...
Avantika sighed...Pata hai beta...! Khair jane de woh saab aur aaram se nashta kar aab...! Kripa slowly nodded, but looked up for Angad...
Av: Aaa jayega woh thodi der mein...Aab phir se uske liye raah mat dekhna...! Chup chap khana kha...! She said angrily again...Angad grinned from upstairs, as he heard his mother's voice...He came down and sat besides Kripa with a big smile...
Al: Bhaiya itna kyun muskurarahe ho...? Aliyah asked with raised eyebrows...
A: Kuch nahi...kuch yaad aa gaya...! He said grinning...!
Al: Kal aapne bahot acha khana miss kiya hai...And you should have tried the cake bhaiya...Vow yummy...! We just couldn't resist it... Aliyah said grinning...!
A: Not fair...Mujhe bhi chahiye...! He said frowning and Avantika chuckled...
K: Mein abhi...
P: Tum baitho, mein le ati hun Kripa...Priya said getting up immediately...Kripa sat down and started eating, while Angad grinned...
Priya was back with the leftover cake and everyone took a piece, not wanting to miss it...
A: Hmmm...wonderful...Angad said eating it with a grin...
Al: Bhabhi...Keep it a habit to make it regularly...Atleast week mein ek baar ek cake to banana hi hoga...
A: Tum ne banaya ye? He asked Kripa, looking at her surprised...
Ka: Tum bhi na Angad...Jara aab ghar ki aur aur Kripa ki aur dhyan dena chalu karo...Yeh late night meetings bahot ho gayi...!
A: I know bhaiya...he said with a sigh...Mein bhi thak gaya hun...I think I should tell these people now that I won't be able to come for late night meetings, unless it is really important...! And I am also thinking of appointing a person, who would do all the needed paper works for the show and see towards the financing,...Issasse mujhe bhi apne reharsels par dhyan dena hoga...!
D: Acha socha hai Angad...Akhir saab kuch khud karna namumkin hai...Shows arrange karna, finance aur paperwork dekhne wala koi aur hoga, to tum bhi kuch waqt Kripa ko de sakte ho...Aur phir ye meetings vagera bhi wahi admi handle kar sakta hai...Tum chaho to weekends par monthly ek baar, mein follow up kardunga...Angad smiled and nodded...
A: Thik hai papa...! That would be good...! I will look into it soon...Filhal to ye week to bahot busy hun mein...Aaj bhi late ho jaunga ma...Kripa, please don't wait up...Mujhe dus gyarah baj jayenge...! He said finishing his tea...!
Kripa nodded with a small smile...Angad and others quickly finished their breakfast and soon were on their way, while Avantika and Kripa helped Teady a little and then went out to sit for sometime...
Av: Kripa, abb to padhai bhi puri ho gayi hai...Kya socha hai age...Job karna hai tumhe? She asked after some time...
Kripa shook her head looking down, thinking about what Angad said...
K: Woh Angad ne mana kiya...She said looking down...! Avantika sighed and nodded...
Av: Shayad ye aaj kal akbar mein chapi khabaron se thoda pareshan hai...! Mein baat karun? Agar tumhe job karna ho, ya phir sangeet ke classes lene ho...To mein...
K: Nahi ma, agar Angad nahi chahta, to koi baat nahi...Waise abhi abhi to ayi hun...Aur aapke sath bhi to waqt gujarne ka mauka milega aab...US mein app sabki bahot yaad ati thi...Issiliye kuch na kuch karti rehti...Aab thode din ghar par hi rahungi aap ke sath...She said smiling and Avantika caressed her hairs and nodded...She knew that Kripa was not looking out for job due to Angad...Otherwise, she would have wanted to keep herself busy...She thought of talking to Angad, but knew that he was worried about Kripa and so, wouldn't allow her to do Job in such situation...!
Avantika remembered Kripa, when she was around 16-17 years old...Today she felt like she was still the same, accepting whatever was expected of her and she frowned...She liked the new Kripa better...She did not want her to accept things for others sake like before, but do what she wanted...!
Av: Kabhi kabhi lagta hai, ki tum kaffi badal gayi ho...Aur kabhi kabhi lagta hai, ki bilkul nahi badli tum...! She said chuckling...Par itna jaroor kahungi ki bahot acha laga tumme itne sare changes dekhkar...Nahi to itni chup rehti thi, ki bas...She said chuckling...Kripa smiled...
K: Ma, I am sorry...Kripa said slowly looking at her...Avantika frowned...
Av: Kis liye? She asked confused...
K: Woh humne jhoot kaha, ki hum sath rehte hain, par wahan US mein hum...She said looking down...
Av: Nahi beta...! Sorry to mujhe tumse kehna chahiye...She said touching her shoulder...Kripa looked at her with confusion...Aliyah se choti thi tum, phir bhi humne tumhari shadi kara di Angad se...! Tum pe jimedariyan dal di...! Bharosa tha Angad par, par phir bhi...Itni kum umr mein shadi karna thik to nahi tha na...! Acha hi hua ki kum se kum Angad ne samajhdari se kaam liya aur tumne apni padhai puri ki...Woh saab kuch kiya, jo tumhari umr mein sare bache karte hain...Doston ke sath ghumna phirna, apne sapne pure karna, bina zimedari aaram se apne sare armaan pure karna...She said smiling...Shayad usme itni samajh na hoti, to aaj tum woh na hoti jo aaj ho...! Bas ek patni aur uske bachon ki ma bankar reh jati, apne armaanon ko kabhi pura nahi kar pati...! Sach bataun to bahot bada bojh tha maan mein...Aab jakar thoda kum hua hai...She said caressing her face...Tumhare mata pita ke chal basne ke baad, tumhe mein ne sache maan se apna mana hai...Par phir bhi mein ne...Kripa stopped her mid-sentence...
K: Ye kya keh rahi hai app ma...Aap galat ho hi nahi sakti...Aapne mera hath Angad ke hath mein diya, kyun ki aap ko uss par bharosa tha, ki woh mujhe sambhal lega...! Phir aap aise kaise keh sakti hai...! Mein ne bhi apko aur papa ko apne mama papa se kum nahi mana hai...Mere liye jaise woh the, waise hi aap bhi ho...Balki, mein aaj app ko unse bhi jyada manti hun...! Kyun ki aap ki wajah se hi mujhe aaj apna parivar wapas mila hai...! Unhone mujhe janam diya hai, to aapne mujhe ek nayi jindagi...Itna pyar diya hai aapne ki aaj mein apne athit ke muskurate pal apne ankhon mein dekhti hun...Na ki dukh ke...Unki yadein humesha rahegi mere sath, par unki kami nahi mehsus hoti aaj...She said with tears...Avantika smiled and hugged her...! Kripa blinked back her tears and smiled...Angad ke sath jo pal mein ne US mein bitaye, woh mere saab se khubsurat pal hai ma, sach kehti hun...Angad ne jitna mere liye kiya, jis tarah se mera sath diya, mein kabhi nahi bhul sakti woh...Aaj mein ussase sirf pyar hi nahi karti, par bahot ijjat karti hun, ki usne haar mushkil mein mera sath diya...Apne to mujhe itna acha jeevan sathi diya hai, iske liye apko mafi nahi mangni chahiye...Balki mujhe iske badle aapka shukriya karna chahiye...Sach kehti hun ma, bahot khush hun mein...She said holding her hands and Avantika smiled kissing her forehead...
They talked for a long time and then went in and had their lunch...Avantika went to her room to take a nap, while Kripa sat in her room, changing channel after channel...She atlast sighed and switched it off and went down...She curiously went to Angad's room and grinned, when it opened...She went in and slowly looked around...There were so many papers lying around...She rolled her eyes...But she knew better than cleaning them...She just picked couple and saw what he had written and smiled...She had heard this song in his last performance and had loved it...She closed her eyes and remembered the rythem and then smiled and slowly started singing, looking at the lyrics...She stopped in between, confused about the rythem, when she heard Angad sing...Surprised she looked at the door and grinned seeing him...
A: Kya kar rahi thi mere studio mein? He asked after few seconds...
K: Mein bas, bor ho rahi thi to...She bit her lips, knowing he did not like anyone coming here...!
A: To? To kya?
K: Woh Angad bas aise hi, ye dekha, to gane ka maan hua aur...
A: To gao...Kisne mana kiya hai...He said frowning and Kripa looked at him confused...Are abhi tum hi to keh rahi thi ki gane ka maan hua...To keh raha hun ki gao...! He said grinning...Kripa blushed and shook her head...Common...Dekhun to, mere gane tumhari awaj mein kaise lagte hain...? He said grinning...
K: Woh pura dhun nahi ati...
A: Koi baat nahi, mein saath dunga...Chalo shuru karo...He said taking his guitar and slowly starting to play...Kripa nodded and closed her eyes and tried to remember, where the song started...and then without any reminder, she started at the right place, as he played the guitar...Angad grinned looking at her and kept playing, as he listenend to her beautiful voice...She almost finished the first stanza when she got a little confused, when Angad joined in and Kripa opened her eyes...She looked at him blushing, while he continued and then asked her to continue the other stanza, indicating her with his eyes...And she did, looking at the paper...Atlast they were done and Angad grinned, putting the guitar aside...Perfect...Thoda aur practice lagega...But you did it...! He said grinning...!Kripa smiled...
K: Kaha tha na mein ne...Agar dhun ki thodi bhi clue milegi mujhe, to mein ga lungi...Angad nodded with a grin...
A: Yes maam, and I am proud that you did it...He said laughing and going to her...He hugged her and kissed her ears...!
Kripa chuckled as his beard tickled her neck...
A: Kya hua...?
K: Kuch nahi, woh tumne shave nahi kiya to...Angad raised his eyebrows and then grinned and started tickling her more, until they were on the floor laughing their heads off...
Atlast Angad stopped and they sat besides eachother looking out...
K: Tum to late ane wale the...Itni jaldi kaise aa gaye...
A: Dubara jana hai...Abhi reharsels se aya hun...Abhi 3-4 jagah appointments hai...Wahan jana hai...Socha ek ghante ka break hai, to kyun na biwi se kuch pyar vyar ki batein kar aaun...Pata nahi ane tak so na jaye...Aur please, room mein sona...! Kal ki tarah attack mat dena...! He said rolling his eyes...
K: Subah jhoot kyun bola fir tumne, ki mein room mein thi...
A: Kyun ki tum mujhe thoda darane lagi ho...! He said and kripa looked at him frowning and started hitting him, when she saw his eyes dancing with mischief...
K: Jao, mein baat nahi karti tumse...
A: No way...Ek saal kaffi hai...! Aab ek bhi din baat nahi kiya na tumne, to kamre mein bandh karke, tumhare samne tumhe dekhte rahunga...Jab tak tum baat nahi karti, na tum room ke bahar jaogi na mein...! Kripa chuckled shaking her head...Angad grinned and kissed her cheeks...
K: Kuch khana hai? She asked looking at him...
A: Na...coffee banogi to piyunga...Aur sath mein woh cake ho to aur bhi acha hai...He said grinning...Kripa chuckled...Abhi le ati hun...She said getting up...But Angad was still holding her hands...
K: Haat to chodo...She said smiling at him and he smiled and slowly left...Kripa chuckled and went out, while Angad looked at the paper she had in hand and smiled...No doubt, she was a wonderful singer, he thought grinning...!
Many of the songs were not his, but the music was...! Shabeer and his wife helped him with the songs, as they were both good in Hindi and knew many poetic words...!
He went to them, when ever he started with his new creations and spent time with them...!
Kripa was back with a tray soon enough and he grinned looking at the cake...He took a bite and grinned...
A: Vow...Baking kab sikha tumne...?
K: Bas, Harshini ke sath kuch classes gayi thi...Usse akele jane ke liye bor ho raha tha, to mein ne join kar liya...!
A: Good, you did...Or I would have missed this cake...! He said grinning and Kripa chuckled...He slowly took a piece and forwarded the spoon for her and she smiled and took a bite...They ate together laughing and talking about the next show, etc. when atlast Angad was done and looked at the time...Vow, tumhare sath hota hun, to time kaise nikal jata hai, pata hi nahi chalta...! He said grinning...Aab mujhe jana hoga...! Mujhe adhe ghante mein instruments pick karne hai, studio ke, varna dukan band ho jayega...He said getting up...He slowly turned around, when Kripa stopped him, with a hand on his arm...Surprised Angad looked at her with raised eyebrows and Kripa smiled...She slowly bought her hand and wiped his light moustache which had some cream on it...
K: Cream laga tha...! She said chuckling, when Angad stared at her...Aab jao...She said slowly and Angad shook his head...Angad...But, he slowly bought his lips to her and kissed her for a long time...When he was done, he smiled seeing her closed eyes and left before she opened her eyes...Kripa looked around and found him gone and she blushed hitting her head...She gathered the tray and went out, closing the door behind her...!
Angad was late that night as well...But Kripa had her dinner with everyone else, after Avantika's strict instructions...She kept watching a movie until around 11 and was about to switch it off, when the door opened...Angad looked inside and smiled in delight looking at Kripa, still awake...
A: Soyi nahi? He asked mischiviously...Kripa shook her head...Angad came near her and sat on the bed in front of her...Puch sakta hun, kiska intajar kar rahi thi...Kripa nodded looking at him, as her heart started pounding...To kaho...
K: Tumhe to pata hai...! Phir kyun puch rahe ho...She whispered blushing...
A: Tumhare muh se sunane mein jyada majja ata hai...! Missing me? He asked grinning...
Kripa smiled shyly and then nodded...Haan tumhara hi intajar kar rahi thi...! She said slowly keeping a hand on his chest...Angad's heart pounded and he took her hand in his and kissed it...
A: Do minute mein change karke aya...He whispered...So mat jana...
Kripa nodded shyly and Angad kissed her nose and stood up...He went to the restroom and quickly took his shower, grinning and walked out in 5 minutes...He found the room empty, but then found Kripa standing in the balcony, looking out...He grinned and went there and held her from behind kissing her shoulders lightly...Kripa shivered a little, but then smiled looking at him...
K: Khana khana hai? She asked slowly...
A: Don't tell me you still did not eat...! He said frowning a little...
K: Nahi, ma ne jabardasti khana khane bitha diya...
A: Good, in that case...I am very hungry...He whispered...
K: Chalo phir...
A: Haan chalo...he said pulling her in...But instead of going towards the door, he pulled her on the bed...
K: Angad, abhi to kaha tumne ki tumhe bhook lagi hai...!
A: Lagi hai...Par kisi aur ke liye...He said chuckling and pulling her on him...Kripa fell on him and blushed, while he winked at her...! Khana to ho gaya mera...Aab desert ki kami thi...woh...He said and pulled Kripa below him and started kissing her...
Days flew by and Kripa was set to routine...Though she was getting bored day by day, she stayed quite, not wanting to make Angad feel guilty...She did not even needed to join fitness club, as they had their veryown fitness room with latest equipments...
They even had swimming pool in the backyard, where Kripa daily swam in the afternoon...Angad got very busy for next 2 weeks and was hardly home...! Avantika was at first surprised to see Kripa swimming one afternoon, but then glad...Though they had the pool, no one used it till now, other than initial few days, they had shifted...No one had time at all...She sighed...! Dilip swam in the weekends sometimes...But that was it...! But she had seen Kripa swimming many of the times in the afternoon...! Atleast she had something to do here...She thought sighing...

Thanks for the update dear. Waiting eagerly for Angad to expose Mishti's real face.
