Or he wasn't even going to come just go back to sleep in his room thinking of this as a bad dream. Why did she love him so much that it hurt. She went back to her room after an hour or two. Taking a deep breath before entering the room, as she had thought Angad was asleep, it was a relief, she didn't really want to face him, maybe in the morning everything would be back to normal when he had forgotten everything.
Yet it was depressing, he didn't care he really did not give a d*** what happened to her. She went and stood by the balcony looking at the stars wishing that Angad was there with her next to her.
Angad opened an eye to peak what Kripa was doing, he had just jumped into bed when he had heard her footsteps. She looked so sad, Angad though yet so beautiful with soft breeze ruffling through her hair. Her skin so white so pure against the starry night. And what made everything so perfect was the fact the he now knew that she was thinking about him. Wow such a great feeling just to know that someone cared.
Tears slowly trickled down Kripa's cheeks but she did not care, it was now impossible for her to contain all her feelings. She now had nothing to hide and was free to finally express what she felt. She was sure was dreaming when she felt strong arms go around her waist, but she did not want to wake up.
This was too wonderful and reality much sadder. Her hair moved aside as a kiss was pressed to her neck . She closed her eyes enjoying the last moments waiting for this dream to end. But it did not end how could it when it was reality, she did not need to pinch herself to make sure this was not a dream.
As she turned around to face Angad his brown eyes, with passion, and love, told her so. The look was to real too passionate to be a figurative of her imagination. He whipped her tear, slowly kissing her cheeks.
"U know ur the biggest cry baby I have ever met. U look as though I probably beat u every night."
"I thought u were asleep."
"Ya two o'clock at night, not a bad conclusion. So how did ur trip go to the beach."
"Go to sleep Angad." Kripa walked towards the balcony staring out at the sky she did not want to face him after what she had said. She was too scared to face the consequences. But Angad wasn't scared, for the first time in his life. Angad came and stood next to her, "I am not sleepy." Kripa remembered a few minutes ago how she wanted him there next to her and now she was wishing that he would disappear.
"But I am." Kripa walked away from the balcony, Angad grabbed her hand, stopping her in her tracks.
"Are u upset?"
"No I am fine." She tried to pull away but he held on tighter.
"I am sorry."
"Its ok."
"Did u cry a lot?"
Kripa looked at him clearly stating her answer.
"do u love me?" It was such a simple question stated so plainly.
"U know the answer to that already."
"Do u love me?" he asked a bit more force fully Kripa looked at him, straight in the eyes.
"Yes"
"Are u stupid? How is that possible? How could u love a oaf like me."
Kripa smiled, "I don't know…" Angad lifted her chin slightly.
"Kripa I have been meaning to tell u something from a very long time… u know when we got married and stuff…well I did nothing to prevent that."
Kripa smiled, devilishly "I actually prayed to god that all ur efforts to break this marriage would go futile, but why are u telling me this now?"
"Kripa there is another thing I need to tell u, when I kissed u that day in the alley it was not just to shut you up."
"Angad that day when I forgot my towel, I didn't forget it I wanted to seduce u, but u turned out to be to innocent, u didn't even peek at me, I have a reason Angad what about u, why are u telling me this?"
"Kripa there is something else I need to tell u"
"Angad I don't care about the past why are we discussing this the middle of the night, I ll talk to u tomorrow." Kripa had a feeling as to why Angad was telling her all this but she wasn't going to play along. She was going to make it as hard on him as possible, she had to suffer now it was his turn.
"Kripailoveu."
"huh?? didn't catch that Angad?" Kripa said with a confused face
"Well… umm I just wanted to say that…"
Kripa put her hand around his neck and kissed him, "I love u too." He lifted her off the floor putting her on their bed his fingers linked with hers, the kissed deepened. The stars witnessed their love, their passion, Angad and Kripa would never again be separated from each other. They would not after this night ever grieve over lost love. They finally had each other, from friends to love, the journey had been long, and tiring, but they had found each other. They were destined to be together from the time when Angad was a nerd, from the time that Kripa loved Prithvi, from the time that they had first laid eyes on each other.
THE END
Epilogue
"No Angad, this is all wrong! I though I was the one that sucked in math but look at how many mistakes u made!"
"I am sorry jaan its just that I cant stop thinking about u, why don't u give me a kiss, maybe that might help."
"Angad this is an office not ur bedroom, behave."
"Aww, I think we both should go on another honeymoon."
"We just came like 2 weeks ago."
Knock Knock
"Come in"
"Sir there is someone that wants to see u, for some kind of job he states his name as Prithvi Bose, says he knows u."
Color drained from Kripa's face, "I guess I ll be going."
"No Kripa stay." he said taking her hand to stop her. Kripa stood next to Angad, trembling head to foot, it had been 1 year since she had last seen him, a year since their high school graduation. Prithvi entered Kripa's mouth dropped, he no longer had the muscles that he had once possessed, he was thin and shabby. His white shirt looked more gray then white.
He rushed forward towards Angad, Kripa backed up a bit in fear, grabbing Angad's shoulders "Angad, u have to help me. Look at me plzz give me a job."
Angad got up in anger, "How dare u even enter this office knowing what u did." He grabbed his feet almost begging.
"Plzz Angad I really need it, I will be thank ful all my life I ll never give u a chance to complain." Angad kicked him away looking at him disgustingly.
"Angad" Kripa said softly, she went to Prithvi observing him closely, he was in a pitiable condition, and no matter what he had done to her, he was still a human being, "Give him a chance, plzz for my sake."
Angad contracted his eyebrows "Kripa"
"Plzz" she kissed him on the cheek and left his office.
Angad called his secretary in, "Julie don't we have a place for a janitor empty."
"Yes sir."
"Ok then, Prithvi u have a job."
Prithvi was in tears, "Thank u sooo much Angad."
"Don't thank me Prithvi, if it wasn't for Kripa I would have thrown u out of that window, just keep out of my sight. Julie plzz cancel my meetings for today, I am going home."
