The school soon became aware of the friendship...it was hard really,not to notice...sitting in classes together,stopping for coffee in between classes,he drove her to college and to home everyday.So naturally it was ovious.Majority of people were happy knowing as they always thought Angad and Kripa would make a good couple like Nishant,Kannan,Aliyah...and some...not to happy.Including Simone...
"Wow amazing place,"Kripa smiled.
"it is isnt it.Newly built barely a year or two ago."Aliyah said.
Angad,Kripa,Nishant,Kannan and Simone were at The Grove to visit Aliyah whos boutique was there.The grove was a shopping center.All stores stationed outside.It was filled with boutiques,a maze of brand stores.In between were restuarants filled with Italian,Mexican etc,food.A huge fountain of dancing water in the middle where kids kept mazing through evryone.Theaters took over a huge building,Barnes and Noble and Apple Ipod,farmers market for causual food,and anything else you could want.Christmas was 2 weeks away and already everywhere it was decorated with lights and other decorations.Family and friends out shopping.Now walking beside Angad and watching kids running around giving christmas lists to the "Santa Claus" Kripa could honestly say she had never felt so happy.
"ooh any of you have a coin?"Kripa stood in front of the water fountain digging through her purse.
"Why?"Angad asked.
"To throw it in the water and make a wish!"Kripa said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Angad burst out laughing."Kya bacho jaise baate kar rahi ro Kripa?Tum yeh sab falto cheezo main vishwas karti ho kya?"
"Agar karti ho to kya hua?"she asked back defensivly.
"Wellll Kripa,"Simone started in the snotty tone of hers."I cant believe a girl like you would bealiev in stupid stuff like this...Well actually I Can believe it,"she paused looking at her in a hateful manner."But like Anagd said only kids and...what word am i looking for...?oh ya... uneducated gavars would believe in stuff like that,"
"I didnt say Anything like that Simone,"Angad replied annoyed.
"Iss mei buri baat kya hai?"Kannan took a coin out."Ill do it also.I dont get why you people are making such a big deal out of it."Kripa shot her a grateful look.
Nishant laughed."Kuch log ki aadat hi kuch iasi hai,"not a big fan of Simone,Nishant couldnt help himself from that comment.Clearing his throat he smiled."Ill wish for my deep desires also."
Angad fienged suprise."Wow,Nishant Saxenas doing this then I surely cant miss."He walked to Kripa and handed her a coin."You're magic coin maam...wait what am i supposed to ask for...?"
Kripa gave him a funny look."Angad its just fun...ask for anything.
"Anything?"Kripa smiled and nodded and turned away."What if i ask for you..."Kripa didnt hear his whisper though.He watched as she whispered something with her eyes closed.Looking at the hopeful sweetness on her face,it didnt look like she thought of this as bogus...Looking at her,he threw the coin in and stood hands in pocket while the others finished.
************************************************************ ***
"so...where now?"Kannan asked.They had visited Aliyah and after buying her stuff and looking around for a while she told the others to go enjoy till she closed the shop which wasnt until another couple of hours.
"Lets go watch a movie,"Nishant suggested.So they bought popkorn and went in.Nishant and Kannan went and sat somewhere in the front.Getting the cue for privacy the others didnt follow.
"Come on Angad,"Simone attempted to drag him away from Kripa.Angad looked at her.She smiled.
"Go on.I want to sit in the back."
"lekin Kripa-"
Go na,dont worry about it.Angad left with Simone.
The movie had just started and Angad was already bored.Suddenly he smiled and looked at Simone who was caught up in the movie."hey Simone,Ill be right back ok."She nodded absent-mindedly.He grinned and walked to the back where Kripa was.
She looked at him in suprise."Angad what-"
"Shh...I have a suprise for you,come on,"he saw her hesitating looking toward Simone."Dont worry about them.Just come on.I promise my thing will be better than this movie."Grabbing her hand he pulled her out.
