Ab Kya Kare?
RECAP: Kripa noticed his eyes represented the emotions he was feeling at the moment but she saw anger too.
Prithvi blasted 'Kripa tum yahan kyun aayi, maine kaha than nahin ana. Ghar rehna, kahan tha na maine? Haan ya na?'
Kripa looked up at him a little startled, with a small smile on her lips. He saw her, looked at her, his anger faded away replacing it with a tiny warm smile for Kripa. His eyes said 'Sorry for the lecture, but a naughty girl like you needed it.'
Prithvi started asking something irrelevant 'Kripa, tum kaal…' he was interrupted by something which happened so fast that his eyes went wide in shock when he saw Angad suddenly got hold of Kripa's arm and harshly made her stand. It happened so fast that everything took Prithvi and Kripa by surprise. Kripa's arm hurt where Angad was holding her. His grip was very tight.

Part 26
Angad angrily walked out of the ward, with Kripa struggling to keep up with him since he still had a firm grip on her arm, and down the stairs to another floor where the place seemed to be deserted. Prithvi followed them, he was too worried to leave Kripa alone with a broken Angad.
When Angad felt that it was the place he wanted them to be, he stopped.
Angad pulled Kripa front harshly, causing her to really actually fall forward but his firm grip stopped her slightly from falling. He wanted her to face him directly.
Kripa's heart was racing thinking what kind of thought could have crossed his mind to which he was furious, maybe at her, to no extent.
Kripa saw his bloodshot eyes and the tear stained face. But she saw something in his eyes which was all too familiar to her now. His eyes were accusing her of…
Angad shook her hard 'Why did you come here? Who asked you to come?'
Kripa got scared 'I…I came to see if…to see if Naina aunty was alri…'
Angad let out a small sarcastic laugh 'You came to see if my mother was dead or still alive, right?'
Kripa gasped. Her heart sank in disappointment when he really said it himself on her face. She shook her head fast nervously afraid that if she tried to speak, she might not be able to speak aloud.
Kripa shook her head as she tried speaking 'Please Angad…you are misunde…'
Angad shook her hard again and voiced out his anger 'Kripa, aren't you disgusted by your doings. You are a woman yourself for god's sake! She's someone of your mother's age. I can't believe Kannan, despite being a very modern girl, behaves way better than you. How could…How many times you've tried to do this? It's not your first attempt only, not your second, not third, god knows how many times you've tried to hurt my mother in how many ways and just in a few weeks time only!' He paused to close his eyes for a while and when he opened them, he begged her 'And why?'
Kripa could feel the hurt in his voice which hurt her and it hurt her even more because he thought that it was all her doing.
Angad answered himself for her with hurt 'Just because I…' he was interrupted by someone.
'Stop it!!' Prithvi shouted.
Angad loosened his grip slightly on Kripa's arm in surprise, both Angad and Kripa turned to look at Prithvi. Prithvi stormed forward 'Stop it! Just stop it bhai!' he reached them and pulled Angad's hand off Kripa's arm and pulled Kripa on the side. Prithvi looked at Kripa with rage 'Who do you think you are? Bhai kuch keh rahe hai aur tum chup chap sun rahi ho? You aren't even trying to correct him at all. Kya bhai sach hai? Tum aur mein, hum dono jaante hai ke sach kya hai aur kya nahin, phir bhi tum chup reh rahi ho? Kyun? Kripa you know that what you are doing, in my eyes, it's the same as committing a sin!'
Kripa looked away from his eyes in guilt. Angad was a little taken aback, his mind wasn't working properly, and he couldn't understand what Prithvi was talking about.
Prithvi turned to look at Angad with the same rage 'Aur aap, bhai, jo insaan achai aur burai mein bachpan (childhood) se pharak (difference) pechanta aaya hai woh achanak aaj kyun nahin pehchaan sakhta. Aaj kyun woh aisi galti kar raha hai?'
Angad tried to put his mind to work 'Tum kya kehna cha rahe ho?'
Prithvi glanced at Kripa then asked Angad in a very demanding tone, while turning to look at Angad 'Kannan ko aap kitna jaante ho?'
Kripa gasped 'Prithvi…' Prithvi held out a hand firmly to her face to stop her from speaking any further while he still faced his brother.
Kripa's eyes widen. No way should Prithvi tell Angad about her.
Angad got tired 'Prithvi come to the point, okay? I'm not in the mood to play games. And just what are you saying, Kannan ko mein kitna jaanta hoon? Tumhara matlab kya hai? I know you think Kripa as your friend but you shouldn't be so blind in friendship that you don't see your friend's obvious intentions at all! Why are you trying to save Kripa?'
Prithvi gave a sarcastic smirk 'Oh so bhai what are you trying to tell me? That you have realized that you are blind in Kannan's friendship…'
Angad came forward towards Prithvi in anger, never had the boys ever talked to each other just like they were doing then. Before Angad could do something, Prithvi held Angad's collar and pushed him towards the wall, his hands still on his brother's collars.
Angad tried to push Prithvi's hands away but something in Prithvi's eyes diverted his attention from doing so.
Prithvi questioned his brother again 'How much do you know Kannan? Mind telling me? Well…'
Kripa's cries interrupted him 'Prithvi, don't! Please…', she came up to them trying to pull Prithvi off Angad surprising Angad but Prithvi pushed her away hard with his shoulders. Kripa fell back hard against a chair causing her head to bleed from the side. Both Angad and Prithvi had heard her fall but Prithvi never took his eyes off Angad. Angad had seen her fall and was surprised that Prithvi would do something so harsh to her for something.
Prithvi clenched his teeth and was furious at himself for pushing Kripa harder than he intended too but he knew that to bring his brother back on track he that to do that. Kripa cried to herself, not because Prithvi had physically hurt her but because of what Prithvi was doing and what he was going to do. She knew it and she wanted to stop him but if Prithvi didn't listen to her then than he definitely wouldn't later. She remained sitting where she had fallen down and sobbed silently.
