thanks everyone. Here is part 6:

PART 6:

Angad smiled and drove off after dropping Kripa. He took care of matters related to the land purchase. He called Dilip, "Hello dad! Congratulations! Ab wo Mall road waali zameen apni hai…..ab bataaiye kaam kab shuroo karna hai?…..Alright dad….in that case main yahan kuch din aur extra reh jaata hoon…..ek baar kaam shuroo ho jaaye theek se….," he hung up, pleased with himself as he had killed two birds with one stone. Now he would have enough time to accomplish his real mission-WIN THE BET!

That evening, the Sharma's had dinner by themselves as both Prithvi and Angad had not joined them. Prithvi had an evening class to teach and Angad had dinner with Mr Trivedi to thank him for the land deal.

Angad got back home late in the night. He purposely avoided having dinner at the Sharma's. He wanted the spark he had lit that morning inside Kripa to kindle a little bit….he wanted her to miss him….

Angad stood at his bedroom window and looked outside. He was pleasantly surprised to see that Kripa's room was right across and as her curtains were not drawn, he could see her pacing up and down talking to someone on the phone. She was smiling and laughing a lot on the phone. He sighed and rested his elbows on the base of the window and kept staring at her, "hmm….tho tumhey muskurana bhi aat hai…..," her smile was indeed mesmerizing and he could not take his eyes off her for some reason.

Kripa hung up and turned towards her window and was shocked to see a pair of eyes fixated on her. She turned red with embarrassment and drew the curtains to avoid his gaze. She stood at the edge of the window, breathing heavily, "yeh kya hua? Wo mujhey kyon dekh raha hai aise?" she pulled one corner of the curtain and peeked outside and was relieved to see his back to her now. She stood there and kept staring at his back, but suddenly he turned around to shut the window and their eyes met once again. She pulled herself back again and ran inside her room. Angad just smiled and shut his window to go to bed.

The doorbell rang. Both Angad and Prithvi came out to answer it.

"Arre maasi…aap iss time?" Prithvi was worried

"Kuch nahin….wo aaj tum dono shaam ko aaye nahin the na…iss liye yeh kheer dene aayi thi…..tum log khaa lo…"

"maasi itni taqleef kyon ki? Waise bhi main tho meetha pasand nahin karta…" Prithvi said

"Main tho karta hoon.." Angad came forward and took the bowl of kheer from Gayatri

"Main jaanti thi ki Angad ko zaroor pasand aayegi…" Gayatri smiled

Angad tasted the kheer, "hmm…bahut acchi hai…aap ke haath mein tho jaadu hai aunty.."

Gayatri laughed, "yeh tho Kripa ne banayi hai….ussi ko bataa dena…."

"Aunty aap ussey keh dena ki meetha kuch kum hai…." Angad said mischievously

Gayatri was puzzled, "accha? Ho sakta hai…mainey bhi chakhi nahin….mujhey aaj kal diabetes ki shikayat hai na.."

"wo hamesha gussey mein rehti hai na…shayad is liye meetha kum daala hoga…." Angad joked and patted Prithvi's shoulder.

Prithvi looked at Angad and was happy that Kripa had not shown any interest in Angad yet.

"Nahin beta….aisa nahin hai….Kripa logon se dosti karney mein time leti hai….kuch din mein wo tumhari bhi dost ho jaayegi…." Gayatri reassured him and then remembered, "jo kehney aayi thi wo tho bhool hi gayi…Friday shaam ko hamare yahan choti si party hai…..tum dono ko zaroor aana hai…."

"Koyi khaas baat aunty?" Angad asked

"Kripa ka birthday hai na maasi?" Prithvi asked

"haan…tujhey tho yaad hi rehta hai …..ab wo 21 ki ho rahi hai tho socha kuch khaas logon ko bula loon…phir pata nahi aagey shaadi byah ho gaya tho yeh mauka nahin milega…" Gayatri's voice got a little heavy at the thought of her daughter getting older and possibly leaving home. She turned around and left.

"Good night aunty!"Angad called out and came back inside.

Angad gobbled up the rest of the kheer and looked at Prithvi, "kyon Prithvi tujhey lagta hai main haar raha hoon?"

"yaar tu tho tab hi haar gaya tha jab tuney shart lagayi thi…..main Kripa ko bachpan se jaanta hoon…." Prithvi smiled and went to his room

Angad stood there and muttered under his breathe, "aagey aagey dekho hota hai kya…..jeetunga tho main hi!"

NEXT MORNING:

Angad walked towards his car to go for a meeting. He saw Kripa leaving her house too.

"Goodmorning! I can give you a lift if you want." Angad was almost certain she would say "NO"

"Nahin main rikshaw mein chali jaaoongi…"

"OK" Angad purposely did not plead or insist and put on his sunglasses and seat belt on. As soon as he started the car, Kripa walked up to him, "kal raat khidki mein se kyon jhaank rahe the?"

"Kyon jhaankney par tax lagta hai Nainital mein? Yadi nazaara khubsoorat ho tho is mein jhaankney waaley ka kya kasoor?" he smiled mischievously and reversed his car to back out.

She followed him and then said, "kheer mein meetha kum tho nahin tha…mainey khud taste kiya tha…."

"Madam….ho sakta hai aapko kum meetha pasand ho," he came out of the car and stood inches from her face and said in a husky voice, "par mujhey tho zyaada meetha hi pasand aata hai," his eyes stared at her from top to bottom and then he sat back in the car and zoomed away, without waiting to see how red she had turned at his last comment.

Kripa boarded her rickshaw but Angad 's words kept echoing in her head, "Yadi nazaara khubsoorat ho tho is mein jhaankney waaley ka kya kasoor……… par mujhey tho zyaada meetha hi pasand aata hai….."

Kripa thought, "mujhey samajh nahin aata yeh kya kehna chahta hai…..kyon keh raha hai yeh sab? Aakhir mujhey pareshaan kar raha hai…..ya….?" she shuddered as she thought of the second possibility…..is he really interested in me….NO WAY!

MORNING OF KRIPA's BIRTHDAY:

Kripa was in good spirits that morning. She received the blessings of her parents and left for work

"Beti…jaldi aa jaana…sab mehmaan shaam ko aa rahey hain…"

"Haan aa jaaoongi…." Kripa shouted back and kept answering all her calls wishing her a happy birthday as she walked out.

SCHOOL:

As soon as she entered the school premises, she was shocked to see all the teachers, principal and students standing with a big banner "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS KRIPA SHARMA!"

Everyone ran to congratulate her and gift her with presents, balloons and flowers.

"aap sab ko kaise pataa chala?" Kripa was surprised as she was very secretive about her personal life at school. She almost felt embarrassed for all the attention she was getting.

"yeh bhi koyi chupaaney waali baat hai?" the principal came forward and blessed her.

Kripa finally reached her class, but was still wondering, "kiss ney kiya hoga yeh?"

She greeted her class but was soon surrounded by all the little kids' hugs and kisses

"happy birthday ma'am…."

"Thanks a lot…aap logon ko kisney bataya?"

One of the kids pointed is finger to the window. Kripa looked up and saw Angad standing at the window and waving to her.

Kripa's smile vanished as she realized the culprit behind all of this.

She released herself from the kids and walked outside. She faced Angad with folded arms, "tho yeh sab aapka tamasha hai?"

"tamasha? Yeh becharey bacche tho apni teacher ko wish kar rahey hain…"

"Dekhiye Angad, mujhey zyada dikhawa pasand nahin hai…..aapkey Mumbai sheher mein hota hoga yeh sab, par hum log bahut private log hai yahan….I don't appreciate all this.." Kripa stomped her feet and turned around

"Are you sure you just turned 21 and not 51?" Angad remarked

Kripa turned around in anger, "kya matlab?"

"yehi ki naraaz tho aise ho rahi ho jaise khush nahin ho apni birthday aaney par….I can understand if you were turning 41 or 51….par abhi tho jawani shuroo hi huyi hai…enjoy it sweetheart!" Angad came close to her and said softly.

Kripa was fuming at him addressing her as "sweetheart," but before she could say anything, Angad had turned around and left.

She went back to her class and tried to calm down. She then saw a cut birthday card on her table with all the kid's names. She picked it up and was touched by the hand made card with all her little sudent's signatures. She kissed the card and looked up tearfully, "thank you bacchon…"

Later that morning Kripa thought, "I hope I was not too harsh with Angad….aakhir yeh birthday mujhey hamesha yaad rahega…..pata nahin main uss par naaraz kyon ho jaati hoon?….aakhir usney mera kuch bigada tho nahin hai…why does he keep bothering me so much?…kyon baar baar mere khayaalon mein aata rehta hai…..aaj shaam ko main us sey theek se baat karoongi…"

EVENING AT SHARMA's:

Gayatri and suryabhan had organized the small birthday party in their backyard. A few close friends and relatives were there.

Aaliyah and Shabbir were one of the first ones to arrive. Kripa wore a beautiful pink churidar with matching earrings and a few bangles. She believed in dressing simply, even if she was the attraction of the party.

"happy birthday Kripa!" Shabbir greeted her. Aaliyah gave her a tight hug, "main asha karti hoon ki iss saal tujhey kisi se pyaar ho jaaye…."

Kripa hit Aaliyah playfully at that comment, "tu bhi na…khud shaadi kar li ab chahti hai sab shaadi shuda ho jaaye…."

"Maine pyar kaha tha…shaadi nahin…" as soon as Aaliyah said that, she saw Prithvi and Angad entering the house. Aaliyah thought, "ho sakta hai meri baat sach ho jaaye….is saal Kripa ko Prithvi se pyaar ho jaaye tho kitna accha hoga…."

Aaliyah had always liked Prithvi; she knew that he loved Kripa, but Kripa had not shown any interest in him so far. Aaliyah was hopeful now that Kripa was getting to a marriageable age, she would see Prithvi in a different light. Aaliyah was surprised to see Shabbir and Angad hugging and patting each other.

She walked towards them, "aap ek doosrey ko jaantey hain?"

"OH..Aaliyah…yeh Angad mere bachpan ka dost…hum dono Mumbai mein saath hi school mein padhe the- right from 1 st to 12 standard……" Shabbir patted Angad's back and laughed.

Aaliyah was impressed and looked at Angad, "really? Tab tho aap se dosti karni padhegi….aap bataaiye Shabbir school mein kya kya shaitani karta tha…."

Angad, Shabbir and Aaliyah talked for a little while. Kripa was busy with other guests, but kept looking at their direction from time to time. She was also surprised to see how friendly Angad and Shabbir were with each other.

Angad looked up and saw the puzzled look on Kripa's face. He excused himself and walked towards Kripa, "aaj aap mujhey ghoor ghoor ke kyon dekh rahi hain? Aapke Shabbir sahib mere bahut acche dost hain….surprised?"

"OH….mujhey nahin pata tha.." Kripa lowered her eyes as she was caught red-handed staring at Angad.

Angad took out a box and gave it to Kripa.

"Yeh kya hai?" she asked

"Birthday ke din kya ho sakta hai…chota sa tofa hai…." Angad said

Kripa opened the box and saw a beautiful pearl necklace and earring set.

She asked, "asli hai?"

Angad brought his face close to hers as usual and said softly, "main nakli cheezon mein vishwas nahi karta.."

Kripa pulled back and closed the box, "aap please rakh lee jiye…main zyada jewelry nahin pehnti….bekaar mein rakha rahega….mujhey aise gifts pasand nahin hain"

Prithvi intervened and handed a small package to Kripa.

"ab yeh kya hai?" Kripa was amused

"tumharey favorite ghazals ka CD" Prithvi smiled at Kripa and then looked at Angad with the corner of his eyes as if indicating, "main jeet raha hoon Angad!"

Kripa was excited with the gift, "thanks Prithvi…tum mera kitna dhyan rakhtey ho…."

Angad suddenly felt a little pang in his chest….. "am I feeling a little jealous here? But why? This is just a game…..why do I feel that I have a right on her rather than Prithvi….yeh kya ho raha hai mujhey…..," he just walked away, a little dejected by her rejection of his gift.

Angad would not get dissuaded that easily. He thought, 'koyi baat nahin…ab back up plan use karna hoga.."

Angad went up to Shabbir, "yaar yaad hai hum school mein kina gaana gaya karte the…humara ek band bhi tha…"

"Oh ya….we called ourselves AWARA….ha.ha.." Shabbir laughed

"yaar tere paas guitar hai kya?" Angad suddenly had a bright idea

"haan hai..par kya karega….wo tho tuned bhi nahin hai…"

"chal mere saath…I need the guitar…"

Angad and Shabbir left and were back in hour. Kripa realized that Angad had left. She thought may be he was upset about her not accepting his gift but she just shrugged her shoulders, "sorry Angad….my principles would not change for anyone….."

Angad came back carrying a guitar in his hands

"Ladies and Gentlemen…mera dost Angad aap sab ko ek gaana sunaayega….he is a great singer bas kayi saalon se gaaya nahin hai…tho excuse him if he is a little out of tune.." Shabbir joked as everyone laughed.

Angad said, "this is for the birthday girl…I hope she likes this gift.

He sang: "khilte hain gul yahan"

http://www.dishant.com/album/kishore-kumar...-prodigy-2.html

khilate hain gul yahaa, khil ke bikhar ne ko
milate hain dil yahaa, mil ke bichhadane ko

kal rahe naa rahe, mausam ye pyaar kaa
kal ruke naa ruke, dolaa bahaar kaa
chaar pal mile jo aaj pyaar mein gujaar do

zeelo ke hothhonpar meghon kaa raag hain
fulon ke seene mein thhandee thhandee aag hain
dil ke aaeene mein ye too samaa utaar le

pyaasaa hain dil sanam pyaasee ye raat hain
hothhon mein dabee dabee koee meethhee baat hain

Kripa was pleasantly surprised at Angad's singing…she could never imagine that a person like Angad could sing so well….and with so much passion in his voice. She could not take her eyes off Angad. Angad also kept giving her his piercing looks during the song.

Everyone congratulated Angad after the song. Prithvi was visibly disturbed by the turn of events. He did not know what effect this would have on Kripa.

Kripa could not resist anymore and went up to Angad, "Thanks …aap sacchi bahut accha gaate hain….," she smiled at him

Angad came closer and looked into her eyes, "yadi aap aise hi muskura thi rahi, tho aur bhi gaane ko tayyar hoon…," he noticed that Kripa actually blushed at that comment instead of getting upset like she usually did. She lowered her eyes and turned around to join Aaliyah.

Angad just sighed and looked at Prithvi as if saying, "khel abhi shuroo hi hua hai…..jeetunga tho main hi…"

…..to be continued…
