Part 1
Date: April 22 2013
Time: 4 in the morning
At the time of four a girl woke up getting out of bed. She quickly complete her morning routine and step out of her room wearing a beautiful light green anarkali dress with white work on it. She smile at her reflection. She tidy her room.
She stood outside her house feeling the cold breeze touching her skin. She lit diya(candle) afterwards she began walking around the tulsi plant seven time singing gayatri mantra. Once she complete her prayers she filled her maang with sindoor since the moment her mother explain her the meaning of sindoor and the power it held. She accepted her destiny that a occurred when she was six years old. She never complained, but accepted with a smile. She knew her husband would come one day and take her with him to his world. Only god know when its going to happen. She herself didn't knew her prayers would be answered soon.
5am
She start papering for breakfast and lunch together because she can't come home today because of extra classes otherwise she always come home to make lunch. She hardly ate herself without knowing her family ate. She doesn't let her mother step inside the kitchen after she learn to cook. She made her Dad's favourite gobi ka paratha (only 2) than for her mother and Nani she made thepla (Gujarati dish) and for herself nothing. She know its bad habit to skip breakfast, but the time she's done its already college time.
And for lunch she made one veggie dish (Baigan Bharta) rice and roties. She pack her Dad's lunch ready to go with his afternoon meds. She pack her own lunch than began setting the table for breakfast knowing anything her family could come. She sighed thinking about her relation with her sister and now she hardly care. Even if she did anything for her she never appreciate so now just left things on its own. The maid make her breakfast every morning.
7am
Ishaan and his wife came down for breakfast. He smile at his child who seek his blessing. He bless her "My blessing are always with you my child and hope your dreams come true" she smile at her Dad "I know Dad and no need of you being emotional every morning. Mom, I have already clean out the guest rooms. Just check over anything that need to be changed and one of our other guest room lights aren't working, but we'll find a solution. I've already made lunch for the afternoon just heat it up before serving it. And Dad I've already pack your lunch with your medication. Hope you'll love today's meal" Ishaan felt proud of his youngest daughter Kripa and how mature she got at the age of 16. Understanding everything without being told unlike his elder daughter Garima.
Suhana: Now Kripa enough of serving us. We can help ourselves. Please sit down and have your breakfast.
Kripa: Mamma, I would love to sit and have breakfast with you guys, but I am already getting late. I promise to eat something at college.
Before her mother or father could say anything she dash into her room. Changed her clothes quickly, but stop at the mirror looking at her sindoor. She never remove her sindoor for college just hid it through her hairstyle. Grab her purse and her books. She rush downstairs hugged her parents and warn her mother not to make dinner in the evening. She'll make it after college.
Suhana knew arguing with Kripa is meaningless. Without wanting to agree - she agreed.
8am
Kripa stood outside big building with many holy priest chanting various type of mantra. She took blessing from ganga water before climbing up the stairs.
She saw many kids waiting for her. She greet them with smile and start teaching them art of dance... Bharata Natyam... its classical dance of India.
9am
Wrap up her dance class for the day. She briefly guide the students about their dance practices and how to improve them. She took blessing from the priest before leaving. He bless her "god give you plenty of happiness my child. God itself must be proud of you. You are teaching these children without any charges"
Kripa smile "Baba, I am born with my needs through my father's status, but I don't have any greed in teaching children who wants to learn dance. There are many upper society kids doing actives they love than why can't these orphan kids? Now I am getting late. Bye Baba" Kripa dash out to catch her bus.
Priest smile and bless her deeply from his heart.
9:30am
Kripa reached her college.
Its been two days and gossip have started because of her sister. She hardly care about the rumours. She made her way toward her friends who greet her with warm hug. She hug them tightly. She knew the rumours won't fade away cause her sister is jealous that she got direct admission in college without completing high school.
10am
Kripa sat in her class listening to lecture. She wrote down her notes quickly before period make to end. She answer many questions correctly.
She won her seniors hearts without explaining herself only few who are royal to her sister. She just smile after came to end.
11am
Kripa ate her lunch quietly. Meanwhile another person sat in the bus with his mother recalling the past incident that changed his entire life on his birthday.
Savarti place her hand on her son's shoulder "everything going to be fine"she told him. She could sense her son's anger "now forget the past and accept the new phase of our lives" her son read her eyes.
He nod his head in agreement.
5pm
Several hours pass by, bus came halting in Rishikesh. Angad help his mother stepping down from the bus.
He grab their bags.
He strictly warn his Uncle not to pick them up. He stop a auto for him and his mother auto drove them to their destination. On the way, Angad kept on thinking about Prithvi and his words kept on ringing in his head "Bro, I have seen your acts toward my Dad and it hurts me. When my Dad was in the hospital you never came to help me or my family. Your trust on me" Angad open his eyes diverting his mind outside the window, but Prithvi's worlds left scare in his heart and mind "destroyed you completely. Now you and your mother get out of my house" his laughter mocked Angad and his blind faith on his cousin.
Auto came halting outside beautiful mansion of Sharma. Angad sighed. He got down and paid the driver. He carried his and his mother's bag inside.
He rang the bell.
7pm
Kripa who return from college around 6:30 after getting fresh she entered inside the kitchen. She start making many dishes after knowing about some people coming to stay with them. In short time she made everything from main course to desert. She just finish kneading the dough she heard door bell.
In rush Kripa smudge sticky dough on her forehead and open the door. She found herself looking at brownish-chocolaty eyes. She move aside letting them inside after greeting them. She shouted for her mother. Suhana came rushing down the stairs and greet Savarti with warm hug. Savarti shed some tears.
Angad knew his mother needs to cry out her grief. He silently waited aside to be greeted by his Auntie. Suhana saw Angad and greet him through her eyes.
Suhana: Bus Savarti. Stop crying now. What happen - it happen; and we can't do anything about it. If Maanjeet Bhai was alive today than he would have been shattered seeing you in tears.
Suhana took them inside and they settle in the living room. She about to ask Kripa to bring glass of water, but she already stood with a tray. She gave one glass of water to her mother and second one to Angad (Kripa doesn't know that the guy she offered water is Angad because her Dad or Mother hasn't told her about them coming to stay with them because they wanted to give her surprise).
