Perfect Match - Page 100 (28/09) - Page 6

"Angad, leave the poor girl alone" said Josh, as he looked at his friend, he did not like this whole setup one bit. The sweet innocent girl, who had showed up for the interview – was not meant for Angad Khanna's dirty games.

"Poor? Josh, ye tu keh raha haine? Sab kuch jaante huye/ Josh, you are saying this? Despite being aware about everything. That girl has insulted me. She has insulted me the great Angad Khanna. She has questioned my existence, and now I am going to make SURE she questions hers" he said, as he slammed the book on the table.

"What are you going to do Angad?" pacing in front to the window near Angad "I don't understand, if you really hate her & stuff, then why the hell are you hiring her?" a confused Josh questioned.

"If you want to trap a big fish, then you have to catch the small fish first" said Angad smirking, as he played with the showpiece, which was transparent, with a figure of a girl and a guy holding hands together.

"What are you talking about?" said a confused Josh not understanding big fish – small fish talk. If Kripa was the small fish, who was the big one?

"Do you at least remember her words?" asked Angad looking at Josh

"

"this is what she said... These were her exact words Josh... And, now I am going to make sure she SUFFERS for saying these words... She is going to pay Josh! " throwing the showpiece on the floor, which instantly broke into pieces he said, "she is going to pay big time – I am going to ENSURE she regrets her words, she regrets her existence – aisi haalat kar dunga ki woh marna chahegi magar kuch nahin kar payegi – uske liye sirf ek machli ki tarah tarap kar marna hi likha hain.."

"Don't tell me Angad, you are not thinking what I am thinking" Josh said, as he looked at Angad's face – his smile, "No way dude – no way, that's just bad... that's really bad. Angad, don't do it, I am requesting you, please don't!"

"What's wrong with you Josh? Since, when did you become such a goody goody? She does not need your help Josh... she does not," he said, as he looked at her photo, "NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD I BEEN INSULTED THIS BADLY! NEVER WAS I FORCED TO LEAVE! NEVER – EVER DID ANYONE SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO ME!" pulling out Kripa's photo from her application, he looked it as he said, "she did not even regret her words, in fact today she went on to say something else..."

"I will marry you Kripa Sharma & you won't be able to even refuse it! I will create such circumstances that you will be compelled to marry me"

"oh & you are foolish enough to let me figure out your weakness. Kripa Sharma's biggest weakness – family" smirking "I will use this very own concept of family against you Miss Sharma..."

"Josh, my friend (rising from his chair) finally to add a cherry to this wonderful game will be Kripa's pregnancy. Today she was nicely supporting that *****, now when she will have to experience the same thing as that *****. Then, she will realize her mistake... she will understand hat keeping her mouth shut that day would have been in her best interest..." getting up from the chair, "... I will make the same circumstances for her... everything will be the same... the only difference will be marriage... And, the day Kripa learns the reality – that's when the countdown to her suffering will begin..."

*****

"Kripa, where the hell have you been? Do you know how worried I have been looking for you?" barked a voice at the other end.

"I am sorry Mishty, I have had a very rough day" replied Kripa railing onto the back, as she closed her eyes in tiredness.

"Are you alright?" voiced a concerned Mishty, whose anger was now replaced with concern.

"Yes, yes I am doing fine. " replied Kripa with her eyes still closed, then a few seconds later she opened as she looked out the phone booth... she distinctly remembered about Mishty's better half, "How are Andy and the kids doing?"

"Absolutely fine. Where have you been all day Kripa? You don't sound all good." Said Mishty worried about her best friend.

"Don't even ask Mishty... All day I had been out giving job interviews, and you know the usual, I am sorry ma'am you don't have experience..." said Kripa wiping the sweat off her face. She did not want to lie, but telling the truth, especially in Mishty's pregnant state would not be right.

"But, Kripa surely this cannot make you so down... I know you Kripa, and you are a very hardworking individual, you are the type, who will sit around doing extra work without even getting the pay." Said a confident Mishty, "What's wrong? Tell me the matter. You don't sound good at all, something is very wrong..." she emphasized strongly on the word 'very', which made Kripa jump.

Pretending to laugh, she replied, "Mishty, what's up with you? You still haven't stopped your obsession on Law and Order right?"

"Don't lie to me, Kripa... I know you very well... Now, tell me what's wrong?" said Mishty losing her patience

"Mishty, you are unnecessarily getting worried. Listen, I got to run I have spent way too much time talking on the phone – and its going to prove to very costly. I will catch you tomorrow. Bye" said Kripa all in one breath, and she hung up before she could hear the response from the other end.

Miles away a worried Mishty put the phone down, and started biting her nails, as she sensed trouble in Kripa Sharma's life.

*****

Kripa sat on the floor on top of the mat, pulling the thin quilt on her body. She rolled down, and placed one of her hands beneath her head as a pillow, looking outside the window into the night she remembered Mishty.

Mishty had been right. It hadn't been the usual day. Today for some reason had turned out very unusual.

For the first time in her life Kripa had been slapped on the face with an ugly side. A ugly side of a very ugly person.

Determined not to let his thoughts ruin her sleep she closed her eyes, and within minutes she was asleep dreaming about the events of that day.

****

Next morning

Shivering Kripa wakes up from her sleep to notice the window open, getting up and tying her hair behind in a bun she goes and closes the window. Then, starts to fold her quilt, which needed no folding, since it was very small.

Looking around she finds her dupatta in the corner after putting it on, and folding up the mat she rushes to the kitchen.

She almost burns her finger, as she shifts one of the logs, earlier she had placed the logs in a pile and started a small fire for cooking... Then, sitting down she puts a vessel, adds a few leaves along with matter, leaves it for boiling, as she gets to wake her cousin up.

"Niyati utho/ Niyati wake up" she says slightly shaking her cousin, who was sleeping on a bed with a nice comfortable quilt on – it wasn't exactly the best bed, and quilt, but compared to Kripa's it was much better.

"sone doh na di/ di, let me sleep" mumbles her cousin, as she turns around with her eyes still closed.

Having no other option, but to pull the quilt, Kripa pulls it, and instantly her cousin up, and starts screaming, "kya zaroorat thi ye sab karne ki?/ what was the need to do this?"

Cursing and swearing Gauri... Niyati heads towards the washroom to freshen up.

"Kya hua?/ what happened?" says her chachi, who has woken up now, and is making her way into the room, as she rubs her eyes.

That's when Niyati walks out, and starts screaming, "Maa isko kyun yaha pe rakha hain yeh sirf humhari zindagi barbaad karti hain aur kuch nahin?/ Mother, why have we kept her here? All she does is spoil our life. "

"tere papa ne ek anath ashram khol rakha haine na isliye/ your father has opened a orphanage that's why she is here" replies her chachi giving a nasty look to Kripa, as she pats her daughter's head.

Kripa is unpleasantly reminded of last night when her chachiji & Niyati request her to wake her (Niyati) up in the morning, since it was necessary.

Turning around she glances at the clock to notice she has a few hours before she has to leave for work.
