PART SEVEN

That night was one of eth best nights of my life... i wished it would never end...but life isn't fair is it? it ended soona dn it was time for us to leave... we gave eachother our cell numbers... he dropped mee to teh hotel and went to his house...

i didn't see him for a few dayss as he was busy... i did talk to him on teh phone... a day before i was returning he called mee...

" kripa i need to tell you something important...c an you meet meein the same hall in half an hour?" he asked...

" sure..."

i went there... the whole place was decorated with flowers and stuff... it was soo romantic... there was a table in teh middle... i sat there...just waiting... waiting and waiting... four hours i waited... then finally teh door opened... i was mad but was glad he finally came ...but when i turned around... i didn't fnd him... i found his dad... his usually cheerful face was sulken... he came upto mee and sighed...

Dilip: i am sorry darling...he wont come...
Kripa: w-what are you ta-lking ab-out?
Dilip: Angad... he left!
Kripa: left...where??
Dilip: i dont know... he left a letter saying..he cant come here and he wont be able to meet you ever again... adn asked mee tocome here adn give you thiss...

he handed mee a enelope... i felt my knees go weak...and i sat down... it was teh picture...with I LOVE YOU KRIPA...written on teh back... and a sorry card... was soo mad... i burnt the sorry card there and took teh picture... his dad pulled me into his arms...untill i cried... and he gave me a fatherly hug saing everythign will be okay...and that he will come back once...and then he would send angad straight to mee...

and since then i started coming to goa every month.... sjust hoping maybe he came back... we shared dance.... a kiss.... one night...and we fell in love...for eth first time i felt that i didn't have to beg or be stuboborn to get something... but he took thata way from mee...adn now i am ust trying to get him to recognize mee... somehow...

End Of FLashback...

Kripa: can i go back to sleep now???
Disha: yess... adn i am sorry... but remember one thing kripa... whom are oyu willing to lose?... a guy you spent one night with...or your best friend you spent your whle life with...?

saying this disha left... kripa was in dilemma now... she didn't knwo what to do... maybe she should just give up hope... maybe her zidd can make things wors... maybe she should just enjoy mishty's wedding... adn help mishty make her life insead of ruining it...and maybe angad just didn't love her... writing a note saying i love you adn then forgetting eth person doesn't mean they're in love... maybe she was just not god for anyone...

thinking about that she fell asleep agaain...

two hours later...

kripa came downstairs being her cheerful self...

Kripa: good morning everyone...HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISHA DI!
Disha: good morning adn thankyou...
Mishty: you look happy...

kripa put her arms around mishty and said...

Kripa: yup i am...very happy...
Prithvi: whats soo greata bout today?
Kripa: cuz today...god gave mee an awesome big sister!!
Disha: hmmm... i think somethign is fishy in here...
Kripa: no disha di... i am serious... and...

she took a step closer and then whispered so noone would hear her...

Kripa: i have made my choice... i am not willing to loose my best friend for a guy...who i dont think even loved mee...
Prithvi: whata re you guyss whipering?
Kripa: NTHING!... okk... aaj ek bada party hona chahiye...
Mishty: yup aakhir humari disha di ka birthday hai...
Disha: koi jaroorat nahi hai party warty karne ki... we can have a small get together... angad ko bhi bulao... we youngsters can just enjoy ourselves...!
Kripa: fien with mee...
Mishty: me tooo...
Prithvi: me three...

just then angad came in...

Angad: happy birthday disha...
Disha: Thnakss angad... did you have your breakfast?.... youc an join us!
Angad: thankss...
Disha: kripa help mee...
Kripa: hey .. what about prithvi and mishty?...(she started whining)
Disha: uff... prithvi mishty help mee plss...(t kripa) you can set teh table...
Kripa: with peasure!
Angad: i'll help...

kripa started setting the table humming something... anagd looked at kripa amzed... she wwas always grumpy infront of him... he smiled... maybe she has loosen up...

Kripa: you dont have to smile... its not like i have started liking you... i hated you... i still do... uts just tht i figured why should i spoil my mood cuz of you...

Angad was amazed at how she read his mind... she knew what he was thinking...

Angad: but why dont you like me???
Kripa: does it matter??? i mean you are NOT marrying mee... you're marrying mishty...who is head over heels in love with you... soo why does is bther you that i dont like you...and plus... id ont show it like i hate you infront of mishty..and i said you might be the guy for her... so why do you have a problem with ME not lijing YOU?
Angad: i dont know... i have teh habit of being liked everywhere i go...--
Kripa: And breaking tehir hearts...(she mumbled loud enough for hism to hear...)
Angad(offended): i never broke anyone's heart!!!
Kripa: sure you didn't... (sighed adn looked at him)look angad... its a waste of time talking to mee... when i decide something... nothing...or noone can change it... maybe disha di can... but noone other than her... when i decide something... its like fate... i will make sure it happens... its weird i haven't gotten an award for stubborness!

kripa finished setting eth table adn went to the kitchen to call everyone out... angad just stared at her... today he noticed something... her eyes... the didn't agree with what she said... they were saying something else... something he didn't understand... there was hurt in her eyes when she said "and break their hearts..." did she have a problem with him cuz maybe he reminded her of someone who broke her heart?... why did she look so familiar to him as welll... was it her? was it teh kripa he metfive eyars ago... it was just that one night he saw her...and now her face was a blurr...she didn't really now how she looked... the picture doesn't help either cuz its been five years and she must have changed...atleast a little... cuz he knew he had changed alott...

i hope you liekd itt.... i will end this ff soon ... it has only three or mayeb four more parts... i dont like going over ten or eleven.... and then i will start continue DIL ka Rishta... it will be around 20 or more parts... longer than this ff atleast... will continue when ic an... which is tomorrow... bye bye for now... i might comtinue later aagain!

Disha: okk...
Angad: did you guyss come here to GOA...about five years ago?...

Disha looked at angad... there was hope in his eyes... she sighed..s he opened her mouth to say something... when...

Kripa: Wow!

angad and disha urned arodn to kripa... she shook her head...

Kripa: yes i came here... i came here five years ago... i went to that hotel... i met a guy there... we shared a dance... a kiss and a night... and i was head over heels in love with him... then he just walked away... why couldn't you recognize me.... or atleast ask mee.. if it was me...

she came upto angad...

Kripa: are you scared cuz i might say somethign to mishty or break the relation... well you can be glad that i wont... i will not jeopardize my relation with my cousin... for a guy liek you!...

Disha caught Kripa by her arm adn dragged her outside... kripa turned her face to angad... angad felt his heart stop by teh look she gave him... teh tears brimming in her eyes... the hatred clear in her eyes... if one look could kill someone.... angad would've died by kripa's look...

4:00 p.m

Angad: kripa...
Kripa: stay away angad...

kripa backed away... keeping atleast five foot distance between them...

Kripa: speak...
Angad: Kripa... i didn't want to leave... it was--
Kripa: doesn't matter anymore angad... it doesn't matter...
Angad: it does matter... i need ot tell you...
Kripa: or... you'll feel guilty for eth rest of your lives... dont have to... i am glad you left angad... and right now... i would be more glad if you leave me alone...
Angad: but...
Kripa: ANGAD...LEAVE!

angad hung his head low and walked away... he stopped when kripa called from the back...

Kripa: mishty will not know about us... (deep breath) you break her heart... and i will break you...

she said and turned around...facing the sunset...

next morning...

Mishty: i dont know...what has happened to angad suddenly... he's been soo distant... so aloof... it feels like he's not even there when he's talking...
Disha: dont worry... he must be tired or something...
Mishty: no disha di... there is something wrong... i have known him for two years and he's never been soo occupied...soo weird...
Disha: uff mishty... you're just over reacting...
Mishty: maybe... i am just worried about him...

Kripa: GOODMORNING!
Disha: good morning...
Mishty: good morning... ooo kripa... theres a mail for you...
Kripa: a mail?
Mishty: yup... on teh counter...
Kripa: okk...

she went there and took teh mail...

Kripa: a mail for mee??? okk...

she tore teh side of teh mail and seeing eth handwriting she knew it was from angad... she was just gonna throw it but decided to read it first...

Kripa,

i know you didn't wanna know... you didnt wanna hear me... you didnt wanna talkto mee...soo i had no other option than to send this to you... just read it once... i dont care whether you believe me or not... i dont care whether you will forgive mee.. but i just had to tell you teh truth... and trust mee kripa... i never intended to leave you like that...
