PART FIVE
kripa slowly walked through the airport pushing the lugguage carrier... she was nervous...very very nervous... after 4 years she was coming back... she didn't know what was she supposed to do...she had one mind to turn on her heels and go backl...but other part of her mind told her to keep walking untill she saw alliyah or josh... alliyah and prithvi were getting married this week... she missed their engagement but she couldn't miss their wedding... different thoughts crept through her mind... maybe yash, naina, her parents, angad... everyone hated her... she closed her eyes to ease teh pain in her heart... she hadn't head it from alliyah but she thought maybe angad married...
after she went to london... the first 2 years were going great... but then... simone had called her... after ignoring her calls for three weeks... simone came to meet her and told her everything... that anagd didn't even knwo a thing... that he loved her very much and how he broke simone's heart for it... simone was married to john... some guy she met a few weeks after kripa left when she was kicked out of khanna house... and she said she couldn't live iwth teh guilt... and well she told kripa...
kripa wanted to come back the very instant and run into angad's arm... tell him she didn't hate him... but she was still mad at him for not even listening to her once before blabbing out... she sighed... and looked around... where were these people? she thought...
then she saw alliyah waving at her... her eyes automatically went to her slightly swelled belly... she smiled and waved back... her best friend... alliyah khanna... now to be alliyah bose... was 4 months pregnant... she ahd been soo shocked when she came to knwo about this... she wlaked to her and hugged her tightly... both girl squealed and screamed as tehy hug after 4 whole years...
then elaving alliyah she hugged josh... the big brother she never had... " hows life kiddo?" he said wiping the tears off her cheeks...and lightly hiting her forehead with his...
then alliyah and her walked ot the car as josh came from teh back pushing teh cart...
*****
" i am nervous..." kripa said looking at her house... " what if... what is they hate me?" she gulped... " i had just went away..." she said biting her nail...
" kripa..." alliyah looked at josh... " they know everything..."
" BUT you pinky swore never to tell anyone!" kripa said...
" yess... and i didnt say anythign to anyone... simone did!" alliyah said defensively... " she came like 2 years after being kicked out of the house and told everyoen teh truth why you left adn what she had done...!" she said..
" well..." kripa sunk into her seat...
" KRIPA!!" josh adn alliyah pulled her out of teh car...alliyah dragged her in while josh brought in the lugguage...
as she entered teh house.. everythign was teh same...she looked aorund... at teh pictures...at thefurnitures adn everything...
" kripa....?" she looked towards the kitchen... and saw her dad comign towards her... she bit her lip and stared at him... when he opened his arms... she ran into them adn hugged him tightly...
" i missed you papa... i am sorry..." she sobbed... while all he did was stroke her hair...
" Nandini...!" he yelled... and pulled kripa away... as wiped her face... " its okk kripa... but you hsould've shared everythign with us...instead of just going away liek that..." he said...
" i know papa... i am really very sorry..." she said... she saw her mom coming... she walked upto her mom and let her embrace her... she buried her face in her shoulder...and felt the warmth of her mother...somethings she'd been dying to feel for 4 years... " i am sorry mama..."
" i am just glad you came..." she framed her face and kissed her forehead... " why dont you goto your room adn freshen up?"
" ...and go meet yash... he's pretty mad at you..." dev laughed... " he's beens aying teh day you'll return...he's gonna break your legs soo you're never leaving teh house again..."
kripa giggled... " he doesn't have to worry about that anymore... i am not going anywhere... " she kissed both her parent's cheeks...
then she ran upstairs to her room... she had a quick shower... changed into fresh clothes... adn went downstairs... " i am going next door..." she said...
she ran outside and walked to the door of khanna mansion... she took three deep breaths... " i know i vowed never to visit here again... but sorry GOD... i am breaking my VOW..." she whispered to herself and slowly opened teh door... as usual it was not locked... she laughed at teh thought yash knew she would be coming home sme day or teh other...
she walked in slowly tipyoed... she looked aorund teh living room...noone was there... then she went to teh kitchen... there naina was cooking... adn yash was...for some reason... frowning... kripa sighed... she slowly went there and from teh back closed yash's eyes...adn softly said... " guess who?"
naina turned around at kripa's voice... adn watched yash's frown replaced by a wide grin... then he pulled teh hands down... stand up turn around adn embrace kripa tightly... kripa hugged him back... she closed her eyes and sighed deeply... it felt soo goood... they pulled away... and yash kissed kripa's forehead adn cheeks...
" waah waah waah... when she wasn't here you said... i'll do this when she comes back... i'll do that when she comes back... and now that she's back... all you do is hug?" naina asked laughing... she pulled kripa to her and hugged her... " welcome back sweetheart..." she kissed her forehead...
" thankss aunty..." she held both their hands and kissed then both... " i was teh biggest dummy of teh world for leaving... i am really really sorry..." she said with tehcutest expression that made both of them smile...
" its okk..." yash said... adn wrapped his armsa round her... " now... you go to your house... and call you mom and dad here... today we'll all have dinner here like old times..."
" okkie!" she said smiling widely... then slwly she bit her lip... " hows...angad?" she asked softly...
" he's become a devdas..." naina sighed... " except hes not a drunkard but a workaholic... he doesn't spen a minute without working... except sleeping..which doesn't count as he sleeps no more than 2-3 hours..." naina said in a depressed tone...
kripa frowned... " idiot... where is he?"
" office..." naina adn yash said in unison...
kripa frowned even more..." when will he be back... ?"
" around 11 at night..." naina answered...
" when he comes... somehow manage him to send to teh terrace....WITHOUT etting him know i am back... and NOONE is telling him i have returned..." she said...
" okk..." they both smiled as kripa smired as she imagined his face when he sees her...
*****
yash and dev were talking... nandini and naina were talking... prithvi, josh, alliyah and kripa were catching up on things with mostly of teh time kripa was making fun of alliyah and prithvi... and josh...as he had FINALLY found teh perfect girl for himself...
kripa looked at her watch... 10 minutes to 11... she heard teh gate open... she got up and announced... " send angad upstairs... without letting him know i am waiitng for him..."
she quickly ran up teh stairs to teh terrace... angad came in teh door and was kind of confused to see dev, nandini, yash, naina, alliyah, prithvi, josh... all of them sititng in teh living room...
" is tehre somethign special today?" angad asked loosening his tie..
" yup it is!.." alliyah answered...
angad raised an eyebrow.." what?"
" we chose a girl for you..." yash said... everyone supressed their giggle... shocked... angad stared at everyone to se if he was saying teh truth or was kidding...
" what rubbish..." he said...
" nothings rubbish but yourself..." yash said gettign up... " look at yourself... you look nothing better than a rubbish..." angad frowned when yash ruffled his already ruffled hair...
" dad..--" angad started but was interrupted by naina...
" no dad, no mom... now go upstairs freshen up and go to teh terrace... teh girl we chose fro you is waiting there for you..." naina said strictly almost like... she was tellign the truth...
" mom you know i lo--" he was interrupted by dev...
" angad beta... why are you destroying your life for kripa? noone knows where she is... noone knows when she will coem back... why dont you go up and once justs e teh girl... ia m sure you will like her..." dev said sftly...
anagd gave everyone a glare adn went to teh terrace to meet thsi so called girl... he walked up teh terrace... he looekda orund but couldn't see her... then he saw a figure far end of teh terrace... " look... whoever you are... i am NOT marrying you... id ontknwo if my parents chose yo... but i have already chosen my life partner... adn i am NOT making teh same mistake i made 6 years ago..." he said...
he watched teh figure come to him... slowly... step by step... then he finally he saw her face... KRIPA! his heart did a little flip flop at her sight... he felt goosebumps over his arms as he stared at her without blinking his eyes... before he knew it... she was just inches away from him... she bit her lip adn twined her hand behind her... and took a step closer... " you were saying?" she asked holding back the smile...
angad took a stel closer... now they were just an inch away... he brought his hands to her face and slowly touched her face...he didn't say a word... kripa put her hand on his cheek... he cupped her hand and kissed her palm... she got on her tippytoes and pressed her lips to his... and pulled back in just 5 seconds... angad closed his eyes... and framed her face...
" that felt so good... can we do that again?" he said as if he were not in his senses...
kripa couldn't help but laugh... she leaned and pressed her lips to his again... this time for a little longer...
" mhhhmmm..." he madea sound... and then slowly openedhis eyes and looked at her... " am i dreaming?"
kripa laughed and wrapped her hands around his neck... " what makes you think you're dreaming?"
" cuz i always dream about you..." he said... " i always dream that you'll come back some day... and then you'll say 'i forgive you angad... i dont hate you... i was just mad... the truth is i love you...' and then you kiss me..." he said and buried his face into her hair... he inhaled her smell...
she buried herself in his arms... oh it felt soo good... she sighed andn nuzzled his chest... " i forgive you angad... i dont hate you... i was just mad... teh truth is i love you... i love you like crazy..." she said... then she pulled away and looked at him... "... and you're not dreaming..." she said... angad smiled and leaned... he slowly took her lips... into a soft yet passionate kiss...
