Ab Kya Kare?
RECAP: Kripa gave back the phone to Anjali. 'Phone ho gaya?' 'Haan, Prithvi ne kaha theek hai. Lekin maine usse kaha ke koi mujhe ghar drop karde ga. So you have to do that.' Kripa warned. 'Haan haan kardo gi. Jeez Kripa, itne dino baad hum sab thore kaam se free hoi hai. Let's enjoy without being tensed yah?' 'Theek hai whatever you all wish.' Anjali hugged, jump-from-behind-kind-of-hug, 'Now that's like Anjali's friend.' Kripa smiled and sighed.
Kavya nodded while thinking something. Before Kripa left Kavya added with a knowing smile 'Mere doston ko ya phir Angad ko', he winked. Kripa looked at him slightly red not knowing why 'Kavya tum bhi!' she walked into the building.
Since it was Kavya so Anjali didn't bother about what was happening at the moment, she went off to her own world.
Anjali was confused but she could agree to do anything which would make her get out of the situation she as in. She screamed back again 'Just leave me, will you?'
Kavya put both of his hands up ( you know the way people raise their hands when the police comes and say 'Put up your hands' or something), he had an innocent look on his face.
Anjali fell on the ground. Ouch. She was in pain and furious.

Part 22
'KAVYA!!!' That was Anjali. She took her bag and ran after Kavya back towards the university where Kavya hoped to get shelter from the deafening scream of Anjali.
So now it was only the 5 of them sitting there and laughing at Kavya and Anjali.
Kashish: Umm…..toh phir mein spin kar leti hoon ab.
She was about to spin but KT interrupted.
KT: Nahin mein karti hoon.
She took the bottle from Kashish and spin it.
The bottle was pointing at someone. KT gave a frown thinking all her plans got spoiled by her spinning the bottle.
KT, talked in such a tone that it sounds like the bottle betrayed her, exclaimed: Oh s***! I didn't meant it to go that way!!
Kashish: Ha KT it was your wish to spin it no one forced you to so now you can't back out.
Lakshya: Okay so tru…
KT unwillingly answered before he could finish his question: Dare.
Kashish: Someone wanna give?
Kripa: No one…okay then I'll give…
Lakshya stopped Kripa: Kripa….let me do it.
Kripa didn't object and KT frowned thinking 'Wonder what's up in his head now.'
Lakshya's eyes glinted giving KT a hint and she got suspicious.
Lakshya: KT tumhe kis…
KT at once back-fired not letting Lakshya say another word: How disgusting Laksh. Main kisi ko bhi kiss nahin karoun gi!! I'm not doing this dare…I knew it; a moron like you can't think anything else either than something disgusting!!
Lakshya chuckled. He had wanted to dare her to kiss him at first to which she would have objected and he could annoy her at least for a week based on that reason but then he had changed his mind. He thought of giving her another dare and he'd spill the task in such a way to which KT would think that he's asking her to kiss someone. Obviously he had expected KT to scream and unknowingly embarrass herself.
Lakshya: KT just stop it will you! I wasn't going to ask you to kiss somebody knowing that it'll be a dare for them instead of you to let you kiss them.
Lakshya paused and Kashish giggled.
Lakshya continued: I was just going to say 'KT tumhe kisi cheez ko khana hoga.' that's it! And you were making a big issue out of it. You should at least let someone finish what they are saying.
He gave her a wink which no one noticed but her. She narrowed her eyes giving him a warning.
Clearly embarrassed though she asked unwillingly 'Kya khana hai?'
Lakshya pretended to think then answered with a innocent smile 'Grass.'
At first KT didn't understand what he was saying, she was confused then it drawn on her that he meant the grass on which they were sitting on. But GRASS? Eww!!! That's equally disgusting.
KT scolded him: Grass? Are you insane Laksh? What the hell? Either way you are disgusting.
Kashish stopped KT 'But KT it's a dare. You chose it.'
While the little argument went on, Angad's cell phone rang. 'Sorry everyone.'
Kripa looked at him wondering who would call him at this time. She heard him saying Prithvi's name and wondered why he would call him. There was no reason and he wouldn't just call like that at this time. She noticed his face getting serious.
Angad stood up and went aside, far away from the group of friends to talk to Prithvi. Kripa was really worried that what it can be that Prithvi is telling Angad and it's that serious, she wouldn't have cared but things are serious at the Khanna household at the moment and she's supposed to be aware of things in order to not make mistakes. She was getting a bad feeling.
KT had finally agreed to the dare.
'Fine. I'm eating it happy now?'
Lakshya exclaimed, very proud of himself 'Very!!'
KT, looking at Lakshya sternly, picked up the grass angrily and put them in her mouth. When she started chewing the grass she regretted choosing DARE. She regretted why ever letting Lakshya even give her a dare, Kripa's would have been pleasant!!!
Kashish laughed at KT's expressions while eating and Lakshya kept laughing and as well as commenting her on her facial expressions and angering her even more. Kripa just gave a light laugh and went back to her thinking, there was a lot of stuffs going on at the Khanna household…and some of the things she knew it about them were really important for them to know but wondered if she was doing the right thing hiding it from their family presently or would some outsider would somehow tell them…all those tense discussions came back to her. She remembered the day on which Angad behaved so strangely towards her all of a sudden, that day he had come so close to her and all, it was a little strange. Then the day came before her on that day she was in the kitchen, Angad had shown her the photo in which it was her and a guy whom she didn't know and Angad had thought it was her planning with the guy to poison his mom, Naina. It was because of the photo he had acted so strange towards her the few days earlier. She was hurt that someone had thought so low of her for the first time meaning it even Kannan thinks low about her but she knows that Kannan does that purposely but not meaning it. Kripa looked at Angad again one more time, the phone call had probably ended.
Angad closed his eyes tightly hoping that tears wouldn't threaten to come out. Then angered rose inside him. He couldn't have been angrier ever. He turned and calmly walked back burning his eyes into Kripa who was looking at KT.
KT had chewed down the grass. No one had water with them, which angered her more. She wanted to go but Kashish didn't want to go yet. Lakshya was obviously enjoying her state. Angad came back and sat.
Lakshya-still laughing-: Angad…..man you should have seen her eating grass.
Kashish also started laughing again. Kripa just gave a light laugh but when she saw Angad looking at her she quickly looked away and silenced herself. She felt she saw anger in his eyes.
Angad didn't want to ruin anything so he tried to behave normal there.
'Guys can this be the last game now. I have to go.'
KT sided Angad 'Yah, even I have to go now. It's getting late anyway.' While looking sternly at Lakshya. Lakshya acted pleased of himself.
Kashish: Theek hai. Just one last time then. Okay so umm…Angad kya tum spin karna chaho ge?
Angad just wanted to finish it off fast but cleanly 'Okay.'
He got the bottle and he spin it.
Kashish screamed 'Oh Kripa finally!! Pehle nahin lekin ab tumhari baari (turn) toh ahi gayi.'
KT left aside the anger for Lakshya for a while because it was Kripa's turn and she was interested. 'Kripa okay toh tum kya choose karti ho truth ya dare?'
Kripa mentally weighed the negative effects of choosing either one….finally she felt that dare would be safer.
'Dare!'
Lakshya asked everyone 'Kaun Kripa ko dare dena chahe ga?'
No one could think of something to give Kripa to do when Angad spoke up 'I'll give.'
Kripa's heartbeats started to beat faster, she was sure she sensed anger in his voice but no body noticed that. Something wasn't good. What dare would Angad ever even like to give me? she thought. Confess things she didn't do in front of their friends who don't exactly know what's the inside story of every incident so far? Just what could it be?
Angad smirked at her slightly feared face. She knew she must be thinking something about him giving her such a dare that she would be embarrassed or something similar to that.
Everyone waited for Angad to spill.
'She should stand on the road in front of a speeding car and not move a single muscle.'
KT and Kashish gasped and Lakshya was surprised. Kripa was stunned.
Angad continued 'Don't worry the car would stop before anything else may happen.'
KT and Kashish were hesitant. Lakshya wasn't sure but when he thought about it one more time 'I guess it's okay…but isn't it dangerous?'
Kashish 'Haan Angad it's dangerous. I think you think of something else.'
Angad just smiled at the 3 of them but smirked when looked at Kripa 'The more fun it is when there's more danger and suspense.'
KT spoke up 'Okay…Kripa yeh dare kar-re gi but'
Lakshya 'But what?'
KT glared at him 'Let me finish it will you?' she continued 'but Kripa can move out of the way of the car when she wants.'
Lakshya and Kashish thought about it and agreed. Angad was fine with it 'Okay…so ready?' He looked at Kripa who was still surprised and was looking at him 'I'll drive the car.'
Kripa was now seriously thinking about what Prithvi must have said to Angad. What was happening? Could someone just tell her?
Kripa without thinking went towards the road and stood in the middle. The rest of them were waiting at the side for Angad to come with his car. After 5 minutes, Angad came with his car at the other end of the road. It wasn't exactly a road, it was a road built by the side of the university for students with cars to drive in and out of the university using this road. By now almost everyone had gone home, others were inside the university so no one was using the road. It was just the 4 of them standing there and Angad in his car. He was at the far end. He had stopped his car.
Lakshya shouted: Ready!
Angad was filled with rage, he stepped on the gear pedal and speeded off towards Kripa standing at he other end. Kripa was facing towards Angad's car but wasn't quite in the reality world yet…she was still deep in her thoughts. She couldn't hear the noise all around her.
When the car was getting close Kashish screamed and waved her hands to signal Kripa to get out of the way 'Kripa get off the way!!'
KT panicked 'Kripa get out!!' she got furious because Kripa wasn't budging. She hit Lakshya at the back hard 'Why the hell don't you go and get her out?!!'
Lakshya 'Woah! That hurts KT. How the hell can I go now the car is very near, if I go the both of us (Kripa and Lakshya) would get hit by the car if it doesn't stop on time. It might distract Angad or Kripa leading us all into danger if I go.'
That response angered KT more. Lakshya was really helpless he was really hoping that somehow he could go but he couldn't because distraction would cause accident.
Kashish had kept screaming to Kripa to get out of the way but the more Kripa was drowned in her thoughts.
When Angad was about 5 meters away, for once his heart panicked at the thought 'If Kripa doesn't get out of the way on time or what if I don't brake on time. She'd be hit.' Surely he was angry but he wouldn't do such a thing which would hurt not only her but many other people as well. If she's evil it doesn't mean that he has to be evil as well to punish her.
KT and Kashish gasped in horror that he'd gotten so near and not yet brake.
Angad stepped on the brake pedal. No one was sure if he did that on time. He had suddenly braked but the car needed time to stop. Lakshya's, Kashish's and KT's mouths were open.
KT was about scream but no voice would come out and the scene was just too much to digest that she couldn't even remember how does a person scream.
The car was less than half a meter away and it hadn't stopped yet. Angad still had a firm expression on his face but he was stepping harder on the brake. Only at that moment Kripa realized what was happening. She saw the car, a moving car, right in front of her but didn't notice the closeness all she saw was Angad's raging eyes filled with hatred. Something surely serious, very serious, had happened now.
Less then a feet away now.
Look out for:....Will the car hit Kripa? Or will she be slightly injured? What's on Angad's mind?.... STAY TUNED!!!
I hope you all liked it I hope you all comment…!!I'm sorry the delay-ness and ….I hope the part was worth waiting……I'm not sure if it's worth it though….I'll try my best to make it better as I write each part.…I hope you all tell me your true feelings! I'm waiting for your comments!…..I'm sorry if it sound dull but do tell me how you feel so that I can edit the next part a little according to your preferences perhaps. Just to make it clear that the last line means that the car's less than a half feet away. I just proof-read the first half of the part.
