Kripa thought about how caring he had been towards her and that was his real nature then why did he use to be so frustrated at her in the past, he hasn't change yet, she knew that but still he had behaved rudely with her in the past and he would again in the future. Now he was all good towards her, tomorrow it will be the usual thing again. She went to sleep.

While Kripa was thinking that, Angad was thinking about why he disliked Kripa so much, then he remembered the incidents which Kannan had created but in Angad's eyes it was Kripa, he had no clue about Kannan involved in them or not, for him it was only and only Kripa. She had done a few other things as well but why was it that when he 100% witnessed a scene, it didn't feel like Kripa was behind all those things at all. He wanted to know her but if he did, he thought maybe Kripa would take it the wrong way, as many girls might if Angad try to know them or their nature. They'd think that he liked them or something when all he did was just to get to know them better. He wanted to know the reason why she was liked by all, except Kannan of course and perhaps him too, even when she was behind some….. Why no one else saw her from that point of view or was he the only one who knew her bad side…..Does she even HAVE a bad side? Well yes…..according to what Kannan told me…..yah…so she must have a bad side but why don't the others see it?

He was so confused with the questions, answers and thoughts about Kripa that he didn't know where he had begun to think and which thoughts made him so confused. He couldn't think anymore so he went to sleep with the headache the confusion brought.

The sun rose. Kripa woke up a little earlier; she took a quick shower and did the morning usual. Before changing (to the clothes which she would wear to the university) she went outside to knock on Prithvi's door (not the one which connects their rooms). She knocked on his door. After a few moans inside the room, the door finally opened and a sleepy Prithvi appeared in front of Kripa. He knew it was Kripa, since she is the one who mostly wakes him up in the mornings.

A sleepy Prithvi moans: Kripa…Kya hai?

Kripa confused: Kya 'kya hai?' Aapne uthna (wake up) nahin hai kya?

Prithvi (still in his sleepy voice and eyes half open): Haan lekin itni jaldi?….itni jaldi toh tumhe bhi zaroorat nahin hai jaag (wake up) ne ki.

Kripa, now knowing that Prithvi had totally forgotten, reminds Prithvi: Agar aapne time pe kaam apna khatam karna hai toh I think yeh time sa-hi (right) hai aapko jaa-ga-ne kille.

Prithvi confuse remains silent.

Kripa, annoyed at Prithvi's forgetfulness scolds him (not exactly scold but I think you got the meaning): PRITHVI!! You forgot or what? You have to finish your work. When will you do that if you don't wake up now?

Prithvi automatically becomes fully awake, he hits his head while 'Oh ****, I totally forgot. Eeerrr…okay…uummm…thanks for waking me up……I think I shall go and start doing it now……erm…okay toh phir main jata hoon.'

Kripa smiled at his forgetfulness and went back to her room when he closed the door.

She sat there thinking about stuffs and here and there just to time pass. Then later she started to get ready for university.

When she was just about to put on light make-up, she looked at the time and thought to wake up Angad. She went towards the open door (the one connecting both their rooms). She stood at the door and knocked lightly at first then a little harder. He didn't wake up. She went up to him. His back was facing her. She stood there and called his name a few times. He didn't wake up. She went to the other side of the bed where she could see his face. He was sleeping peacefully but she was sorry that she had to interrupt him from sleeping or else he himself would regret later for sleeping longer because he's Angad, Angad Khanna, who is always on time.

She took the blanket off him unsure if she should do that or not. She tried to touch him but thought better not to as maybe he wouldn't like it. She looked around the room for something. She found an empty hanger (you know the one used for hanging (ironed clothes mainly) clothes) and took it and used that to (shake) touch Angad's arm. The hanger wasn't a good choice but still she had to or else he wouldn't wake up, he was unusually very deep in sleep. She used her hand to pull the strand of hair coming in front of her eyes behind her ear. She kept using the hanger to wake him up, if he came to know that she was certain that he'd be a little angry if not more, there are many stages of 'anger' in Angad's case. Angad moved a little, she stopped at once to wait for something else to happen. Nothing else happened. He didn't wake up. When she was certain that he wasn't awake she started with the hanger again. He was now facing the ceiling. Angad had moved because of some sort of discomfort, so he wasn't as much in deep sleep as he was before, he again felt some discomfort. After a few more shakes Angad couldn't stand it and tried to get hold of that something which was annoying him. He let out both hands in the air searching for the source of that trouble, Kripa wasn't expecting that to happen as everything happened all of a sudden so she was just like a statue, well almost like one as the hanger was still just above Angad's arm and he got hold of it at once with one hand as his hands were wandering around in the air just to get hold of the annoying source. That shook Kripa even more, before she could let go of the hanger, his other hand got hold of her wrist (hand-the one which was holding the hanger). Kripa thank the god that at least his eyes were still closed and he wasn't exactly fully awake. He took the hanger violently from her hand and was about to hit that other something which he was holding in his other hand. Just before he was about to throw the hanger towards her, he opened his eyes just to see where he was about to hit with the hanger. He was shocked to see Kripa standing there with her other hand near her ear and eyes shut, as she couldn't move away, so she prepared herself to get hit. Angad at once threw the hanger on the opposite side and let go of her wrist and sat upright on his bed. Kripa relaxed slowly and opened her eyes.

Angad: Kripa tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?

Kripa stuttered: Main woh…main..aa…appko…jagane ke…ke liye aa…aai thi.

Angad calmed down: Oh….

He remembered the hanger and didn't know what else to do so he moved away a little further away from Kripa. He didn't know that Kripa could do such a thing……..try to beat him with a hanger? Umm…wasn't that…erm…unlike Kripa according to Naina and Prithvi.

Angad (he talks like as if Kripa is someone who can murder him right at the moment): Tum…yeh…yeh……han…hanger ke sath kya kar rahi thi? Kahin tum mujhe mar…

Kripa interrupted him, she knew now what he was thinking, it was hard to hide the laughter creeping up to her lips but she managed to hide it, she couldn't believe that the Angad who used to think her of something now is almost behaving like as if she were way stronger than him.

Kripa: Nahin Nahin Angad. No way will I do that. Hum aapko bas jagane ki khoshish kar rahe the.

Angad relaxed and realized that he just sounded/ behaved like a 3 year old boy, he tried to sound more like himself but he still felt a little confused: Hanger se?

Kripa couldn't hold the laughter back but she tried a lot to hide it, so far it was okay, she talked sounding like she was unsure of what she was saying: Haan….I mean of course…I mean haan….woh….umm...mujhe or kuch nahin mila aap ko jagane kille yeh waha para hua that oh maine socha ke isse main aapko thora hilane (shake) karni ki khosheesh karti hoon…..I mean aap aaj khafi gheri (deep) neend (sleep) mein the. Maine aapko khafi jagane ki khosheesh ki, aap nahin jaag rahe the. Toh maine socha ke main hanger use karleti hoon.

Angad thought for a while then again unsure he asked her: Tum mujhe marne kille toh nahin woh use kar rahi…

He looked at Kripa, she had a smile on her face now and she was shaking her head 'no' slowly. It was hard for Kripa to hide the laughter but she just let out a smile. Kripa thought 'Haad ho gayi hai, I can't believe that he thinks that way.' But it felt good in an odd way to see Angad acting like a kid for sometime.

But nothing lasts for long. Angad was back to Angad.

Angad (with a little hint of rudeness and anger): Haan toh phir ab main jaag raha hoon na, toh tum jaa sakh ti ho. Yahan itni daer se kya kar rahi hoon.

Angad behaved like nothing had happened and Kripa eyes widen for a while at the sudden change but she kind of got it that maybe he was trying to cover up. She began to go. Angad sat on his bed, pretended to find his slippers on the floor and said 'Darwaza bhi baan karke jaana.' When Kripa was gone, Angad stood up and ran a hand through his hair and thought 'Kya yaar…what happened to you.'

Angad smiled at his childishness and when he thought that all that happened in front of Kripa he felt a little embarrassed as he never behaved like that in front of his friends or strangers, only with his family and that too sometimes only, then why Kripa? But hey….how'd he know that she came to just wake him up. He thought 'Yaar meri image ka kya hoga. Kripa ke samne…..' he smiled again at his childishness. He went to the bathroom to take a shower. While taking a shower, he felt good; he felt the day started off great.

Angad took a shower and got ready, Prithvi was using a hair dryer to dry his picture, Kripa was forcing Naina to let her help in making the breakfast that day and Naina gave up.

Kripa and Naina were making the breakfast but Kripa was doing the cooking and everything, Naina was just preparing some other things for lunch.

Kripa set the table outside and called Dilip for breakfast. Dilip and Naina started having breakfast, Naina told Dilip who made the breakfast that day and Dilip praised Kripa. Kripa went up to call Angad and Prithvi. Kripa knocked Angad's door.

Angad shouted from inside: KAUN HAI?

Kripa: Angad main…Kripa!

Angad walked to the door and as silently as he could tried to unlock the door trying not to make it sound like he was unlocking it. He did it. He walked back towards the mirror fast.

Angad casually: Darwaza khula hai.

Kripa opened the door uncertainly to see if it was really unlocked.

Kripa entered inside, and stood next to the door, to see him spraying perfume on himself. He could see her from the mirror and vise versa.

Kripa: Angad breakfast ready hai.

Kripa was about to go when he asked 'Kripa, mom ne kuch pocha uske baare mein.' He nodded his head towards her wrist in the mirror. Kripa nodded 'Haan.'

Angad: Toh tumne kya bola?

Kripa: Maina bas kaha ke thora kuch lag gaya tha.

Angad: Bas?

Kripa (said sounding obviously): Haan. Or main kya keh sakh tit hi. I couldn't lie to her.

Angad smirked: Oh right. I forgot you are The Kripa Sharma.

Kripa looked up and looked at him, his back to be exact, not in the mirror: It's not like you lie, even you're the same.

Kripa left the room. After Kripa left Angad was just about to strat combing his hair then put gel when she appeared at the open door again, Angad saw her through the mirror, she was standing side-ways (like her side is facing Angad's back, before (when she entered the room) her front was facing his back, but she didn't enter the room this time).

Kripa said with a hint of a smile: Angad darwaza lock ho toh aap aa-ke khol sakte ho, aap ko unlock kar ke pretend-to-be-casual ho-ne ki zaroorat nahin hai.

And with that she closed the door and went away. Angad was putting gel that time and he had stopped when Kripa was talking. His hands were still in his hair. He went back to what he was doing and was thinking 'What the hell is she? How did she know that? God who is this girl?' Kripa had caught him (again?). A smile found its way to his lips and he didn't notice that.

Kripa knocked on Prithvi's door, he was busy so he just said 'Aajao.'

Kripa entered and saw the painting, she gasped. Prithvi looked at her amused.

Prithvi: Kya hua?

Kripa was in awe, she was staring at the painting. She couldn't believe that Prithvi could do such a painting.

Prithvi held the paintbrush and waved it to get Kripa's attention. Kripa came back to her senses and couldn't help but smile broadly. 'Prithvi…yeh….yeh painting aap ne hi banai haina?' Kripa wanted to be sure.

Prithvi didn't know why she was asking that replied casually: Haan. Maine hi banai-yi hai. Kyun?

Kripa smiled: Bohut khoobsurat hai.

Before Prithvi could say anything someone behind Kripa, kind of proudly, says –kind of proud of themselves too-: Of course. Mera bhai jo hai toh of course he'd be the best of best.

Kripa knowing whose voice was that didn't turn around but smirked and folded her arms on her chest (I hope you got what I mean) while raised an eyebrow too. Angad stood next to Kripa by then. Kripa turned her head a little sideways to look at him while said: Acha? I couldn't expect something else from you, could I?

Angad looked at her with style-attitude: What do you think?

Prithvi looked at them; he felt a hint of Kripa changing a little. Well she wasn't changing but he felt a little attitude emerging in her and she wasn't using it in a wrong way either, she was using it the right way, at the right time; at a perfect time. It was a good thing, thought she had it before but she didn't often showed but now she was using it in front of Angad. Angad? That had to be real.

Kripa looked back at Prithvi and said in her normal way: Prithvi ne-che (down(stairs)) ajai-ye ga.

Prithvi nodded. Prithvi had finished his painting and was just packing his things when Kripa had entered, he went back to his packing and shortly after that Kripa left after glancing at Angad one last time before going down. Angad followed her. After a few minutes Prithvi came down with his painting too. Prithvi set his painting on the sofa and went to the breakfast table and soon enough all 5 of them were having breakfast. Angad felt a little different taste in the breakfast.

Angad: Mom aaj ka breakfast thora different hai, kyun?

Kripa stopped for a second then went back to eating. Naina glanced at Kripa who was looking at her then to Angad: Kyun? Acha hai ke nahin acha?

Angad: Nahin. Of course acha hai. Bas aaj pata nahin pehle se bhi kuch zyada acha hai. I mean hai toh yeh same hi breakfast lekin aaj pata nahin pehle se zyada acha lag raha hai.

Naina looked at Dilip, Dilip asked: Acha?

Angad felt odd, was he the only one who was feeling different or what, he thought but fortunately Prithvi spoke up but he talked casually: Haan mom, aaj thora different lag raha hai.

Dilip and Naina smiled at the boys, Kripa was, the whole time, looking down at her food only while eating. Kripa finished eating and stood up to take her plate away but Naina stopped her. Kripa then stood there standing. Naina told the boys: Waisa aaj ka khana isiliye kuch zyada acha lag raha hai kyun ke kisi or ne aaj banaya hai…

Prithvi interrupted Naina, he had a confused look: 'Dad apne? Apne aaj ka breakfast banaya hai kya?'

Kripa laughed to herself and Naina and Dilip laugh out loud. Dilip continued for Naina: Maine agar banaya hota toh tum sab abhi kaanse-re (cough) hote….. (he announces) aaj khana banaya hai 'Kripa beti' ne. Angad stopped for a second then starts to chew slowly again. Prithvi praised Kripa aloud. Angad didn't regret his words earlier. Naina and Dilip went back to eating, they were almost finished. Angad looked up at Kripa who was looking at the table, eyes down. After a few seconds, Kripa looked up, in Angad's direction, only to find him staring at her, when she looked at him he raised an eyebrow while eating. She quickly looked away and started to pick up the plates and glasses, Naina and Dilip stood up and went to their room. Kripa went in the kitchen. She started washing up when after a few minutes Angad came in too. Kripa had heard a little while ago that Prithvi was telling her from the living room that he would wait for her in the car while he would fix the painting in there. Angad had brought in some more plates and glasses. Angad came up to Kripa and stood next to her while trying to dry the plates as he didn't want her to think that he came inside only to tell her something.

Angad: Breakfast acha tha.

Kripa slowed the washing up and turned her head a little towards Angad's side but still looking down (I hope you get what I mean….I'm sorry as you know that I'm sometimes bad at explaining these things), so it's like she's looking at what he's doing, she then quickly looks back at the plates she was washing.

He stood there for a while pretending to dry the dishes then went back outside.

After the clean-up, Kripa ran up to her room to get her purse. She went inside and got her purse and went outside (She was just holding the purse's handle (lolz…I'm not sure what you call that), but she hadn't yet slid her purse on her shoulder.-I hope you understand what I mean to say.), she was near the staircase when her purse got stuck somewhere. When she looked back, she found out that it hadn't got stuck somewhere, someone had got hold of it. Angad pulled the purse back and with that Kripa was automatically pulled back as well. He had her against the wall, Angad put both his arms on either side of Kripa, his hands on the wall (his hands are positioned in such a way where it looks like he is pushing the wall-I hope you got this one as well, I just wanted to be sure that you got this one). Kripa was surprised at his behavior but didn't show that and the surprise didn't last for a long time either. Kripa just looked side way (the side between his face and one of his arms, so it's like: for example his face is north and his arm is east, so she's looking in the direction north-east…..I hope it was clear enough). But Angad was staring at her. He came a little closer. Kripa was still facing side way but she moved her eyeballs in Angad's direction. Then quickly looked away. Angad smirked.

Angad: Was that to impress me?

He asked with one raised eyebrow. Kripa smirked then turned her head a little to his direction (a little towards the north but still it is facing north-west (NW), maybe now NNW) and looked at him: What do you think? I'd bother to do that?

Angad looked side way (the other side, not the side where Kripa looked, the opposite one), then sighed and look back at her: Why not? Others do then why not you?

Kripa said looking him in the eye: Coz…I'm not like them. I don't need to impress people.

Angad looked back at her in the eye: Oh really?

Kripa: Ah huh. (It's suppose to sound like a 'yes'-hope you got that one too)

Angad breath a laugh while he looked at the floor then back up. He came closer and stayed like that for a while then pulled himself back, like he put force on his hands like pushing the wall and since it can't be pushed so he got pushed back but he himself had pushed himself back. He bowed and gestured her with his arms as if to 'Ladies first.' But instead he said 'Puh-lease!' Kripa not at all impressed walked past him and down the stairs and he walked behind her. She said bye to Naina and Dilip who were about to leave for office too (Note: Naina sometimes go to office and sometimes stays at home.). Angad did the same. Both of them reached the door and stopped. Kripa looked up at him side way and he did the same but instead he looked down. None of them moved until Kripa started to go but before she could Angad stepped in front of her and took out his car keys and began playing with them and whistle, like that he walked towards his car. Kripa just simply walked towards Prithvi's car which was parked behind Angad's. Kripa walked past Angad who was looking at her while smirking while opening the driver's door. She glanced at him while passing by. She sat in Prithvi's car and sat down. She put a CD in the player and it started to play. Angad sat his car and did the same. Kripa noticed that and she smirked. Angad saw that from his rear-view mirror and put the volume high. Kripa looked at him, at his back. Prithvi came and settled in his seat and started to drive. When passing Angad's car he said something to Angad and Angad replied back. Prithvi and Kripa talked while going to the university. Angad drove behind them. Kripa noticed that and asked Prithvi: Prithvi aap Angad ko phone kar ke bhole ke woh Kannan ko lena bhul na jai-ye.

Prithvi laughed when hearing Kannan's name. He called Angad. Angad got interrupted from his thoughts and received the call. It was Prithvi telling him what Kripa had told him to. Angad guessed it must be Kripa who told Prithvi to call as she might have noticed him following them and he was concentrating on her. He turned to the other track (on the road) and drove faster so he was just next to Prithvi's car before he could overtake them. Angad looked at Kripa who was next to him but not in his car, he said 'Nice memory!'. Kripa who knew that he's at her side didn't look at him, she just looked forward and nodded slowly knowingly when she heard him say that. Prithvi hadn't heard that. Angad had opened his window and Prithvi had asked Kripa to do the same after Prithvi had finished the call. (so that's why Kripa had heard him) Angad shouted 'THANKS!' to Prithvi. Prithvi heard that and waved a brotherly 'bye' at Angad. With that Angad took off to get Kannan.
