Ab Kya Kare?
RECAP: Angad: Hhhmmm (he said that indicating her to speak (continue) and that he was listening).
Kripa: Thanks Angad.
Angad knew she really meant it
Angad, who was sitting on the sofa now, with a hint of attitude said: 'Jisne khana banaya hai woh bulaye! '
Prithvi was a little surprised that he just asked for Kripa to come to him.
He grinned then stopped rocking his chair and started eating, while glancing at Kripa every and each second. After a while she started eating, she tried avoiding looking at him.
He had took away the photo but it was still in his hands. He stood there right next to her, boring his eyes into her while she stood there staring into…..no where. Suddenly she figured out that whatever was up with Angad lately hadn't been odd of him besides the whole Kripa-getting-hurt-thing, the way Angad acted and everything, it wasn't odd of him. Everything he had done had every bit of sarcasm in it. Whatever she thought that it was odd of him actually had been full of sarcasm.

Part 17
Kripa shut her eyes really tight, then slowly opened them again. Was all this happening again? Another one of Kann……Kripa took in a heavy breath.
Angad held the photo again in front of her. She didn't look at it again. But she could still feel it. She could feel the anger building up in him. She closed her eyes shut again. A tear fell down from her right eye.
Angad (sternly): I assume it's you Kripa, isn't it?
Another tear fell down her cheek. Did Angad really think she could do a thing like that…and that even to…
Kripa (in a pleading tone): Ang…
He cut her.
Angad: But who's the guy? (he pretended not to know anything) Oh let me guess your boyfriend?
He pretended to think, he put one hand under his chin (you know people do that when they are thinking hard-I don't really know how to write that so please bear with me-but he's pretending).
He spoke again, pretending to figure something out 'Nah! I don't think he can be your boyfriend, right?'
He looked at her sternly, with eyes full of anger.
Still looking at her he said in his pretending tone again but with sarcasm in it 'He's not the type, right?'
Angad, still looking at her with anger in his eyes, he went back to his-pretending-to-think posture 'Then who else can it be?...' He leaned closer towards her '…Is he your partner? Perhaps your mastermind partner…..'
One more tear fell down her cheek. She hiccupped once.
Angad continued: …….but too sad he's in jail at the moment. You won't be able to make the next move, would you?
H paused for a while then spoke again '…maybe yah. You can…..continue without your partner….'
Angad slowly put the photo back in his pocket. 'Kripa mujhe pata tha pehle ke tum geer (fall) sakh thi ho lekin tum itni geeri hui thi mujhe pata nahin tha. Jis din tum apne iss khel mein choto si bhi galti karo gi na, us din saab ke samne tumhari yeh geeri hui asliyat samne aaye gi. Tum is haad tak geer sakh thi ho maine nahin socha tha. But I should have expected that. Yeh baat toh hai, tum acting itni achi tarha se karti ho ke koi tumpe shak bhi nahin kar sakh tha. You're lucky that you are not the one who's in jail now.'
Kripa kept on crying inside her. She couldn't believe that he still thought of her that way and now he thought even worse of her. When did he get the photo? A week ago, 2 weeks ago……when?
He left. Kripa cried more now. She stepped back and slowly set against the wall behind her, she hugged her knees and cried hard but at the same time tried not to make sound. She pictured the photo again in her mind.
It was her, shaking the guy's hand. He was the cook who was sentenced to 7 years of imprisonment. But that time she hardly knew about all that….or even thought about that all this could have been somehow related to him. They both had been smiling at the time, it could have looked like they were two people who met after so long.
Kripa recalled the scene that day. It was at a restaurant. Dilip, Naina, Angad, Prithvi and Kripa had gone there for dinner.
*flashback*
Kripa was going towards the ladies restroom. She was passing the restaurant's kitchen when she almost slipped. But there was a wall so somehow she managed not to fall. A cook had come to her when he saw Kripa falling. He asked 'Are you okay ma'am?' Kripa looked up and saw him, she smiled 'Yes, I'm fine.' 'Are you sure ma'am?' the cook was curious. Kripa smiled and nodded 'Yah, I'm totally fine. Thank you.' She was surprised when he held out his hand to shake, she didn't know how to respond, that time she had wondered 'Why does he want to shake hands with me?' she felt it was odd. He smiled. 'Hi. I'm John, the cook.' She didn't want him to feel bad so she smiled and shook hands with him. 'Hi! I'm Kripa.'
Kripa was oblivious to the fact that that instant someone had took a photo of the two. The same photo which she saw now.
Later when she was on her way to the table, she took a glance (sideway)at the kitchen while passing by and was surprised to see the same cook, John, talking to……Kannan? They were laughing while Kannan was giving her something. Kripa didn't bother to look at them and just walked on but wondered that it was really odd of Kannan to be dining at the same restaurant as them, as the restaurant was very far away and people don't usually just pop-up there, the restaurant had it's status and was expensive too. And moreover, it was odd enough to see Kannan talking with the cook. Did she know him? But Kripa just dismissed the thought. Kannan was not a girl whom someone wanted to think about.
*flashback*
Kripa sat there crying. There was no doubt now that Kannan had given the photo to Angad, she must have somehow took a photo.
Prithvi came down the stairs all happy and jolly, he had just completed a painting of……..uummm…….someone. He was thirsty so he went to the kitchen.
When he entered the kitchen he was surprised to see the dishes were still in the sink. He put his custard plate in between the other plates which were yet to be washed. He thought he heard a faint sound. He looked around and saw Kripa sitting on the floor, head bent down, holding her knees together against herself. He became curious and worried for her at once.
He went to her and sat down in front of her. He tried moving her, but she look up.
'Kripa!! Kripa? Kripa kya hua?' He shook her arm. Kripa just shook her head.
Prithvi persuaded her and called her many times. After a while she looked up at him then lowered her eyes. He saw her eyes were all red and a little swollen. He asked her again.
Kripa still sobbing but a little softly now: 'Prithvi…Prithvi…'
She couldn't continue and began crying again. Prithvi came to her side and put his arm around her shoulder and held her like that. He said words to comfort her. But nothing seemed to work then again she spoke 'Prithvi…Prithvi…Prithvi Anagd ko lagta hai…' she hiccupped 'Prithvi Anagd ko lagta hai ke maine…' tears fell down her cheek '…ke maine aunty ko us din, restaurant mein, zaher (poison) diya tha.' Prithvi was shocked. Kripa sobbed bitterly.
Prithvi thought to himself 'Bhai…bhai aisa Kripa ke baare mein kaise soch sakh the hai. Woh uske baare mein already itna soch teh hai. Kannan already told Angad stuff which Kripa didn't do….he already hates Kripa so much because of things which she didn't do but Kannan manipulated Angad to believe all that crap, she…**** she did this again. She must have otherwise Angad would never want to blame such a thing on someone. That ****…' he came out of his thoughts when he heard Kripa. 'Prithvi, Angad ko please kuch maat kehna…' Prithvi got angry at Kripa and stood up, she stood up, he shouted at her 'Kripa what the….Kripa what is wrong with you. Angad bhai saab kehte rahe ge aur tum bas sunti raho gi. Bhai tumhare baare mein aisa soch bhi kase sakh the hai. Kannan ko…' he was leaving, his back was facing Kripa, Kripa hold his arm to stop him and interrupted him 'Prithvi aap Kannan ke baare Angad ko kabhi nahin kuch kahe ge…' Prithvi turned his head to the left (he didn't turn totally so that he could see Kripa, he turned his head sideway) 'Kripa, you want me to do that then I will and I have been doing that before too but after this one I still will but let me tell you 'I can't promise you.'.' With that he left for his room. Kripa stood there stunned, a little scared about what if Prithvi wouldn't be able to hold it back. She knew that at the moment he wouldn't say a thing but if matters get worse than……she couldn't bring herself to think about everything. She had calmed a little down but tears still streamed down her cheek. It was hard for her to open her eyes completely as they were swollen. She started to wash the dishes.
