Part 10
Kripa angrily stomped into her house. She was going up the stairs when Ananya asked, "Hey di, where were you?". Kripa, without turning around says, "Having coffee, with that..that….son of a…sea jerkin!"😡 Ananya was obviously confused. "Who?" she asked.
Kripa turned around, she began "An-" she stopped in mid-sentence (mid-word?), shocked at what she saw. Ananya and Aaliya were sprawled on the floor working on some poster board. Kripa turned red with embarrassment. She almost called Angad a son-of-a-sea-jerkin- whatever that was- in front of his sister. Aaliya and Ananya were looking at her inquiringly. "Oh, uh, no one."
Aaliya and Ananya looked at each other and shrugged. "O-kay" they said unison.😕 If she didn't want to talk about it, they wouldn't pressurize her. Ananya just ignored it, Kripa hardly got along with boys. But Aaliya knew quite well whose name she was about to say. Son-of-a-sea-jerkin, she thought, never heard that one. 😆She was trying hard to control her laughter. It was pretty obvious she meant Angad.
It wasn't the first time she had heard a girl criticize her brother, some even had the guts to call him things at her face. But it was funny to see the face expressions on Kripa's face change so quickly-anger, shock, embarrassment. She just shook her head and continued working on their project. "Bhai, you are sooo going down" 😡
Kripa went up to her room and looked at her journal. She flipped to the page she had written about Angad. She read it over and smiled. She was still really angry at Angad. But still she was attracted to him. Her eyes kept on glancing his way during school, and she had even seen him in a dream. Somewhere inside, she knew he was different than all the guys she had met or even dated. (Yes, Kripa has dated before!😉)
So far, she had only dated 2 boys, and the relationship hadn't lasted even 2 days. The guys were total opposites of her, and they expected too much from her. Angad was also the total opposite of her, but sill, she had a feeling that he was different from the inside. From the outside, he was a playboy, jerk,😆 egotistic, and king of arrogance. But from the inside, he had feelings, he could be nice, and he really cared for some things, but never showed it, for his ego would get into the way.
……..…………………………………………………………………………………………..
After the Kripa Incident (LOL😆) Angad quickly drove home. He went to his room and then sat on his bed. "darn" he muttered. He had just gained Kripa's trust, everything was going perfectly fine, and he just had to ruin it. He lay down at his bed, and slowly fell asleep. An hour later, he woke up. He had dreamt about Kripa again. He sighed and turned the music up really high on his iPod Speaker System. The song, "I Just Wanna Spend" from Neal N' Nikki was playing. "What the h***" he screamed.😡 "How did I get that song?".He never listened to songs like that, he listened to loud music, metal, etc. The song was playing:
Suddenly everything has turned me inside out,
Suddenly love's the thing that I can't live without.
You're my dream, my love, my life
I just wanna spend my life with you,
You're the one that makes me smile,
I just wanna spend my
Life with you.
"Retarded love songs," he muttered. He skipped the song. The next song started playing:
Every night in my dreams I see you,
I feel you,
That is how I know you go on,
Far above the distance and spaces between us,
You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe in my heart
And my heart will
Go on and on.
He groaned, and skipped it again. The next song was:
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my,
To the beat of my heart
I'm thinking about
Letting it out
I wanna give in
I wanna go out
Been looking around
I finally found
The rhythm of love.
Angad angrily closed the system, and growled, "Who the heck did this." 😡Then, it hit him. Aaliya had called to tell him she would be next door working on some project. "Oh god, Aaliya! Come out here right now." 😡He knew that if Kripa had told her what he did she would be really pissed and probably had something else up her sleeves. Slowly Aaliya came out from her room (it was across the hall from Angad's room).
Aa- Yes my dear bro?
A-what the heck is this?😡
Aa- what are you talking about? 😆
A-these retarded love songs, what did you do to my ipod 😡
Aa- oh that, well whats so wrong about it
A-you know I hate these songs
Aa- Hmm so you don't believe in love, huh?😉
A-no way, I don't believe in this stupid crap.
Aa- well then I promise you, that you will fall in love, and I will rub it in your face. Now, why in the world did you take Kripa out to coffee when I told you to stay away from her? 😡
A-who said I took her out for coffee?
Maybe Kripa hadn't told her about the journal thing afterall he thought.
Aa- Kripa herself.
Aaliya lied between her teeth, but she knew quite well it was Angad.
A- I didn't!
Aa- don't lie to me, bhai 😡
A-okay, okay, I did take her to coffee
Aa- why?
A-just because, as a friend
Aa- hmm, and why was she so pissed.
Yes! Angad screamed inwardly. Now he just had to make something up. 😉
A-umm well because, uh
Aa- I want the truth, and nothing but the truth!😡
A-okay, jeez, well,
And then he told her the whole thing.
When he finished,
Aa- OMG ! Bhai I can't believe you read her journal! 😡
A-im sorry
Aa- don't say sorry to me, apologize to her,
A-but aali, he whined
Aa- don't Aali me, im not talking to you until you apologize to her. 😡
She left the room, and then came back a minute later.
Angad's face lit up. 😃
Aa- don't get too excited. I just wanted to tell you that I heard you saying her name while sleeping.
A-whose name
Aa-Kripa who else?
Angad turned red.😳
Aa- look at you blushing like a girl, who knows maybe you might start listening to love songs from tomorrow on.
Saying that she left the room, leaving a confused Angad.
He shook his head and walked to his door. He started closing the door when a bucket of water dropped on his head. "Aaliya!!!" he screamed. He knocked at her door, but it had a huge DO NOT DISTURB Sign on it on the bottom it said, AND THAT MEANS YOU!
God, these girls, he muttered.
Then he went and changed his clothes and went down the stairs. Dinner was being served. He sat at his usual seat and instantly felt something hard. He looked down to see the soft cushion missing, replaced by hard wood. "Teddy!" he screamed.
The butler came. "Yes, sir?"
A-what is this? He said pointing to his chair.
T- Aaliya ma'am's order sir.
Angad groaned. (He's been doing that a lot lately)
He went and got a different chair for himself.
Everyone was missing, he was the only one for dinner.
A-where is everyone?
T- your parents have gone to a party, Kartick sir has a business meeting and Aaliya ma'am was served in her room.
A-oh, well bring my food
The servants brought in the food. It was rice with peas, (matar plaow) and this sabzi (mixed vegetables)
A-what is this crap, you know I hate it
T- Aaliya ma'am's orders sir.
Angad mocked him, "Aaliya ma'ams order
Does she own this house or something? I am the boss here, now get me some pasta, and throw this crap away, or actually give it to your dear Aaliya ma'am.
He angrily looked upstairs, Aaliya sure knew how to get her way, she was very stubborn. He then took out his cell phone and started playing games on it.
