"I cant do this anymore!" yelled Angad, he picked Kripa up in his strong arms and carried her into the car. Angad was shocked to see Kripa still sleeping! "This girl is a freak," he said to himself. After a few minutes of driving in silence, boredom took over Angad's mind, for a guy who was able to remain silent for hours and just listen to his music, staying quiet became awfully difficult. Just before going to the highway, Angad had one last red light to stop in front of him, and being a outrageous devil that he is, he decided to wish Kripa good morning in a very special way.
A cop would have a heart attack if he saw the way Angad drove toward the light, going in 60 miles per minute, he would surely kill at least 20 people on the pedestrian road. Then coming to the tip of the road, where the red light stool tall, Angad pressed the break as hard as he could, causing the car to squeak all the way to the light. Kripa's petite body flew unto the dashboard and she screamed louder then a woman giving birth.
"What the hell was that!" she shot out at Angad, with her hair falling in front of her face and eyes puffy from all the sleep. "Good Morning my love," Angad said smacking a tight kiss on her lips. Kripa pushed him away making a hump sound.
"I hate you, you freak!", she yelled out and kicked his arm with her feet
"You should be careful you know, what you say and do can and will be held against you," he said with a smirk. "Especially considering I'm driving" he added.
"Yeah, as if you could do anything," Kripa mocked Angad as she drank some water and then made a face when she realized how bad water tastes when you don't brush your teeth. Angad laughed looking a Kripa gulp the water down her throat, "You seem to be in pain," he said.
"Well if someone would have taken the liberty of waking me up in the morning, so I could brush my teeth and take a shower then maybe I'd be able to drink my water in peace and hygienic satisfaction!" she blurted, pointing her finger at Angad.
"Hey, hey, hey! I tried a good fifteen times to wake you up, you just wouldn't move! How is it my fault, if you sleep like a log?" he defended himself with a smile. "Oh, shut up, you idiot. I cant wait to go home, and be away from you," she said quickly.
It suddenly fell silent, they both realized at that point that they were going home, away from each other. Kripa thought about her resolution, about how her decision would be about her and her family not Angad, but now…she really did love him. Kripa fidgeted with her fingers, wanting to cry, she even felt that lump in her throat. Angad watched Kripa, and tried his best to come up with something to lighten the situation but he too was saddened. Kripa was probably the only good thing that happened to Angad ever since his mother past away, she made him happy. Angad played around with the radio for a while, trying to find a good, but even melody knew that it was time for him to face the music…the real music.
"So…your happy to go home?" he asked with a shaky smile.
Kripa looked at him for a second, not knowing what to say, she loved him so much, She just wanted to hold him a cry.
"Yeah, sure…real happy" she said muttering, and looking down at her toe nails (that desperately needed a pedicure). Angad was debating with himself, about whether or not to bring up the subject of what would happen to them when they went back, his mind told him to keep his mouth shut, but his heart was aching to hear her say "I'll love you forever", or something like that.
"So…have…, have you thought about….us yet?" he asked face a face, cursing himself for opening his mouth. Kripa didn't answer him right away, well she actually never answered him. After a minute or two, she simply asked him to turn on the radio and so he did…thus ended their conversation.
The entire day past without much speaking between the two, except for when Angad realized he forgot the ask Kripa if she needed to pee, knowing her she'd hold it all the way to New York. Darkness soon fell, and shadowed the sun. Angad was getting pretty tired, so he suggested that they stop at the hotel for the night. She seemed to not care, but a new found glow came over her face when she realized this meant a few more hours with Angad.
"So, this is our last night together," said Angad as he laid the suitcases down on the floor. Kripa looked down at the floor and just nodded slowly. Angad couldn't take the silence anymore, this might be his last few hours with Kripa, he wasn't going to spend it like this!
Angad went up to Kripa and took her hands in his, he slowly kissed them and held her face in his hands. "I'll always love you Kripa, I want you to know that. You're the best thing that ever happened to me, well along with 7th Heaven finally something to an end," he said trying to make her laugh. Kripa smiled and bit her lower lip. She cupped her small hands around Angad's face, ready to talk.
"I don't know what's going to happen when I go back Angad, my parents will be so upset, you have no idea, I cant…I", Kripa couldn't finish her sentence due to Angad's electrifying kiss that suddenly took away all of Kripa's worries. Kripa wrapped her hands around his neck, with her fingers running through his hair, bringing him closer to her. They slowly parted away, still able to feeling each others touch.
"Lets not think about them right now, lets think about something else," Angad said brushing his thumb down Kripa's cheek. "Like what?" asked Kripa on the verge of crying.
Angad lightly kissed Kripa's lips, and whispered to her, "Think about US", he said.
"Kripa hugged Angad tightly and let her tears flow, "US is what worries me Angad, you just don't understand," she cried.
"So, stop letting it worry you," he said, still in a soft caring tone that twisted every organ in Kripa's body. "And do what?" she asked. He brought her close to him, as they stood next to the edge of the bed, and he kissed her once again. "Just let me love you," he said.
Angad brought down his face to hers and kissed her lightly once, and she kissed him backed. They kissed again and this kiss became much more passionate. Angad's hands rested on Kripa's neck, pulling her closer, as Kripa's hands cupped around his face. They leaned down into the bed with their legs entangled and bodies tightly pressed on each other. Angad could feel the adrenaline rush through his entire body and the heat radiating from Kripa's body to his. It felt so good to be there with her. They kissed multiple of times, without stopping for a breath, they could easily die of suffocation at this rate, but it didn't matter. Kripa's hands moved down to Angad's shoulders, where she gripped him tightly, pushing him away and then pulling him back again and again. Kripa felt his warm hands underneath her shirt, moving around at a fast pace. Kripa's mind knew what was about to happen, her heart told her to keep going, but her soul told her it wasn't right. Her soul knew that they might separate tomorrow and this wouldn't be right, not yet.
Perhaps there really is a reason behind the term soul mates after all. Just as Kripa become aware of what was going on between her and Angad, she felt Angad slow down. He first removed his hands from underneath her shirt, and then slowed the rate at which he kissed her. Little by little, still kissing her, he separated from her body, now simply lying beside her. Kripa loved Angad even more now, she'd found knew respect for him as well. Only a strong man can put aside his own physical wanting to uphold a girls emotion need.
The rest of the night was like heaven, they laid there in bed, side by side, hand in hand, arm in arm, listening to the melody that flowed through their own presence.
