Part 12
Kripa was busy washing the dishes in the sink but her mind was lingering some where else…she could listen Nisha speaking something standing beside her, what that was she didn't know.
Suddenly she felt someone shaking her…she came out of her thoughts with a jerk.
"So wats ur opinion" asked Nisha with a glint in her eyes.
"About what " Kripa asked in confusion.
Nisha shaked her head in annoyance and took the utensil from kripa's hand dumping it in the sink…she caught Kripa by her arms and dragged her out of the kitchen.
Nisha made her sit on the bed and kneeled in front of her cupping her face in her palms.
"Is some thing troubling you that u want to share" she asked with concern.
Kripa nodded in no…she had no intentions of telling her about the issue. Quickly changing the topic she asked her about whatever she was talking about in the kitchen.
And yes it worked, alright.
Nisha once again started talking enthusiastically.
" what do u think of him Kripa …I mean he is hot , charming, sweet…should I think about him seriously…u know with the annual dance approaching I think he will be the most ideal date"
And who, in the world, was this 'he' Kripa was completely unaware of and of course, she asked her about who 'he' was.
"Angad aur kaun, stupid" Nisha said hitting her head playfully.
Kripa suddenly got alerted and some what angry as well. But she couldn't make out was it bcoz she hated Angad or bcoz she hated the idea of their dating.
Nonetheless she decided not to express her annoyance.
K – Well I don't know him that well to judge.
N – Oh common krips, I would say he is ur only friend besides me….
He is not my friend, Kripa retorted angrily.
Nisha taken aback at her sudden reaction, jerked back.
"I mean yes I know him but he is not a friend" Kripa said hastily correcting herself.
"Hmmm… Kripa I have an idea." Nisha said excitedly.
Oh no this was not going to be good, Kripa told herself but she kept mum.
Nisha continued "I think I need some time to know him better, to decide whether he is good enough to make it to Nisha Bose's lists of bf and u would help me with that"
And from where does she come in between.
"I mean u know him better than me and I will get to know him better via you…I will hang with you and u will hang with him…yeah I am soo smart" she said cheerfully.
"And what makes you think I will agree to this" said kripa sternly.
Nisha became silent…she was taking her yes for granted.
"Please kripa …please please please…dekho main hamesha tumhari baat manti hoon, is baar tum meri baat maan jayo naaa" she pleaded with puppy face.
Kripa stared her helplessly and finally spoke up "fine …u always have it in your way"
Nisha leaped up and hugged her in happiness while she patted her back…this was going to be difficult for her, she was going to talk to Angad tomorrow about this only if this tomorrow never came…she sighed to herself.
Angad was about to march out of the class after the lecture when josh came up to him.
"Sorry yaar Angad …ab kab tak mera boycott karega…and it wasn't even my mistake" josh said.
Angad cocked his eyebrow and asked sarcastically "so who's mistake was it…mine or kripa's?"
Josh was about to say something when he saw Kripa approaching them… (Angad's back was facing Kripa).
"Kripa…" j uttered.
"Whoa Jesus now u are going to blame Kripa for it"
"No Angad…Kripa" josh said again signaling him with his index finger.
"what!!" he said irritated not understanding wat josh was saying.
"Angad"
Angad heard the soft voice behind her and turned only to find Kripa standing behind him.
Taken aback he fastly got hold of himself and replied softly "yes Kripa"
"Well I want to talk to you" this is all what Kripa said in a plain voice ignoring the softness in angad's voice.
"Yes Kripa go ahead" he said expecting some sort of apology or negotiation.
Kripa eyed josh and the class and said "here…I will wait by your car after college"
Saying this Kripa walked off without waiting for his reply.
Angad made his way to his car rather hurriedly than usual and as expected saw Kripa standing by his car.
He went to her and smiled waiting for her to speak up.
"Can we go somewhere and talk in peace" Kripa said eyeing the post college commotion.
Angad opened the door and both leaped in while he drove away silently.
The car came to halt on a deserted place and Kripa moved out followed by Angad. She walked a little away formulating the words she wants to say to Angad. He went and stood behind Kripa…
"Kripa…I…" he was about to say something when Kripa suddenly turned and interrupted him.
"I am not interested in any of your nonsense, I am just here for my friend's sake…yesterday I thought a lot and realized that you must really like Nisha a lot, that's why you even decided to bear me, the girl you hate the most" saying this she turned her back towards and closed her eyes as she allowed a tiny tear slid down from the corner of her eyes.
After a moment or two, she continued "Well I thought I shouldn't be so selfish to snatch my friend's happiness from her just to take my revenge on you and as u already might be aware of, Nisha won't date you if she became aware of our rift…so …well…I want to make a deal with you"
Angad too shocked to speak anything finally found his voice, how much he wanted to say that it was untrue, he didn't hate her, but all he said was "And wats the deal?"
"Well we would just pretend that we are still friends, u know just in front of her so that she won't suspect…and I will help you both too and you will promise me that you won't hurt her"
Saying this she stretched out her hand and said "Deal?"
Angad stared at her hand, he didn't want to do that but why, isn't it this what he wanted and it was better to talk in some way to her than not talking at all. With some hesitation he took her hands and said "deal "
Kripa suddenly felt someone hitting her hard…somewhere in corner of her heart she expected him to refuse, but may be it was just a mere illusion she was carrying with herself.
She nodded and started walking away to return home.
Angad shouted after her and said that he will leave her.
"Well there is no Nisha here so no need to pretend I will manage myself"
Angad now annoyed by her dryness and arrogance get in his car and drive away extremely fast almost killing her by an inch.
Sorry again for the longgggg delay…I know it was a total lame part, fun will start from next one and please post comments so that I can know if I am still having readers.
