Part 13

It was amazing that they could fit a pool the size of a small house on a cruise ship but apparently they had found a way. Kripa was laid out on a white chair, with her eyes closed, letting the sun soak through her skin. She had on a bikini underneath a silk cloth covering the top part of her body. She had not yet forgotten, last summer, the looks that she had gotten when she had roamed around on the beach with just a bikini on.

Even now when she laid there more covered then half the girls in this place she had not failed to make heads turn. She opened her eyes when she felt a shadow blocking out the rays of the sun. She turned her head an inch to see the seat next to her being taken by a guy; he only had a short white pair of frayed shorts on.

She studied his profile carefully; it was more of a habit now then anything else. He had a broad chest and very muscular arms, with golden-ish brown tanned skin; he had soft brown eyes that looked almost golden in the glint of the sun.

He was not quite as handsome as her dear husband, but was very close to it. He gave her a quick smile, his eyes immediately traveling to her body, stopping a second longer at her long legs. Kripa ignored him turning her head back to its original position and closing her eyes. This kind of threw him off; there hadn't been many girls that could have ignored him, without his shirt off, and there she was ignoring him when he was shirtless with his body showing and all.

"Hey, do I know you from somewhere?" he said employing the line that girls mostly used to get conversation started with him.

Kripa turned to face him, it was kind of obvious that he wasn't going to leave her alone, that was such a pick up line that she had heard from about million other boys before, "Maybe…I am quite a famous personality. I appear on the front page of newspapers all the time." This was a sarcastic remark of course.

"I wouldn't doubt it for a second, even if I had a habit of reading newspaper on a daily basis." Smart-guy, Kripa thought annoyed, he was so clearly flirting with her. This was the right time to fling out the ring.

And that is exactly what Kripa did, she held out her ring finger twisting it with her thumb, "Don't bother, I am already married."

He raised an eyebrow in disbelief, "Sure, and what is this lovely lady doing without her husband." This was going to turn out to be quite an annoyance Kripa figured. She would have to resort to extreme measures to get rid of him.

"Look hun, if my husband even sees you talking to me let alone flirting, he will beat you to a pulp. He has gone to get me some drink and before he comes back you better get lost." Of course Angad would never do anything of the sort. Just the idea of it would humor him, but she had to do something to get rid of him. This though seemed like a futile effort because he was still smiling.

"You are too funny." He said chuckling, "But I am not so easy to convince or scare away." He said flexing his muscle. Kripa just rolled her eyes, now getting pissed.

"Look you there is about a million other naked girls here that you can annoy, why the hell are you after me. "

"My name is Sahil, What about you?" He said still smiling. Oh how Kripa wished that she was alone with him it would be a pleasure to knockout his white glistening teeth. Kripa had barley heard him but she sighed heavily, getting up from her chair, taking off the silk cloth wrapped around her and jumping in the pool. While Sahil just looked at her in awe, unable to believe that such a goddess could exist.

It had not taken Sahil long at all to join Kripa in the pool, she had tried to get away from him but it was close to impossible seeing as he was 10 times stronger then her. She tried to get out of the pool but he blocked her way. She glared at him angrily but that seemed to only encourage him.

It was then that Kripa found her savior. Angad was lurking by the drinks, as much as she detested the idea, this would be her only escape, "Hey Angad!" she called out. Sahil turned back to look and Kripa quickly swam around him and was out of the pool before he had time to register what had just happened.

Angad looked at Kripa, squinting his eyes in the sun, unable to recognize her at first in a bikini, but when he did his mouth opened about an inch in awe. She was 10 times better looking in real life then in his imagination, she ran towards him gathering him in a hug, "Where were you I had been waiting for you for ages, oh you are so sweet you brought me some juice." She planted a quick kiss on his cheek, taking the glass from him and taking a sip. Sahil who had attempted to follow her looked at both of them, his eyes traveling from Angad to Kripa and from Kripa to Angad.

"Let's get out of here." She said putting her hands around his waist.

"Umm Kripa…" Angad said confused and shocked at what was happening, but Kripa put a finger to his lips.

"Shhh…I know you love me but not here. Let's go back to our hotel room." She emphasized the word 'our' saying this loud enough for Sahil to hear. Once they were safely out of the pool area, she pulled away from him.

"What was that all about?" Angad asked.

"Oh, well this guy was after me and he just wouldn't leave, even when I told him that I was married."

"Well if you go around looking like that…I really wouldn't blame him…In fact even I would…"

Kripa rolled her eyes, "Please Angad; I have had enough of that today."

********

When Kripa's eyes opened in the morning she was trapped in her bed. It was not that she was unwilling to move, nor the fact that the blankets and the pillows of her bed had suddenly come alive binding her to the bed. She was stuck under the bolder heavy head of her husband, and if she could have with some effort removed his head, she was incapacitated by his hands that held her upper arms, preventing her from moving even an inch.

She stared helplessly at the ceiling for about 10 minutes waiting for a brave knight to come rescue her from this situation, or for the giant to wake up. But it was clear that nothing of that sort was going to happen, she would have to do something herself.

"Angad, Angad Darling" She said her voice smooth, soft and comforting, her hands slowly brushing through his hair. But he just got even more comfortable. Now half his body was on her, knocking the breath out of her. She swore that she would never in the future let him eat anything with oil or fats.

"Angad" She said her voice a bit harsher.

"Mmnmmnn" was all that escaped his mouth. Kripa took a deep breath, and cleared her throat

"ANGAD GET YOUR BIG FAT HEAD OFF OF ME, RIGHT NOW!!!!!" It was like a bomb going off in the middle of a peaceful garden. Angad got up so fast that it made Kripa doubt weather or not he had really been asleep, and started staring wide eyed from one corner of the room to another, almost as if expecting someone to jump on him. It took him a few seconds to calm down, when he did he found Kripa with an annoyed expression on her face.

"God you are so touchy!!" Kripa said removing the blanket off of her.

"Well you didn't have to take out my eardrums, for that." Angad said putting his index finger to his ears trying to test his hearing skills.

"Next time you do that I'll simply just stick a stick up your ass, let's see how you like that." Kripa threatened, while Angad winced imagining how that would feel. But then he shrugged

"It would be worth it, and that was too" Angad said grinning devilishly

"You did that on purpose!!" Kripa said accusingly

"Duh…" this was of course a lie he had no idea where he had been until he had been forced to wake up by Kripa's "mellifluous" voice. But it was fun to annoy her and he would have been a fool to pass up that chance. And besides she had just broken the peace treaty by an attempt to sabotage his ear drums, so technically he was only avenging her.

"Urghhh… you are sooo dead now, and to think that I fractured my throat trying to get you off of me." Kripa said massaging her neck.

Angad yawned loudly, "Go tell some one who cares. What's for breakfast, I am starving?"

"It's a special delicacy; the creature that it's made from is rare, dangerous and very hard to catch. I call it boiled head of Angad Khanna!!" Kripa said gritting her teeth.

"Ha ha ha so not funny." Angad said rolling his eyes, "I'll go see myself, move over Kripa."

She defiantly stayed where she was, crossing her arms.

"Kripa I am not joking, move, I would do the job myself but I don't want to fracture anything. You might not realize it but you have gained quite a few pounds. Ohhh… maybe that's why I mistakenly hugged you, thinking that you were the pillow," He hit his head as if everything suddenly made perfect sense, "Kripa you really need to start dieting or something; all that fat is not good for you."

"Oh yeah, is that why you were gawking at me yesterday at the pool." Kripa replied acidly.

"Oh. Me. Never…" He then got really close to her putting an arm around her waist, the only thing keeping them apart were Kripa's arched hands in front of her, "By the way who was the guy chasing you? I pity him really, he's got bad taste." He then gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, "bye Hun, you make an excellent pillow." Saying this he crossed over her. And by the time Kripa could have figured out everything from kiss to pillow he was gone. One thing was clear though that for Angad and Kripa peace was like a beautiful dream that could never become a reality.

Hmm…Kripa thought, Angad Khanna loved his breakfast a little too much.
