Thanks ixi-shaj. I don't think Kripa cares about Angad's germs any more 😆 😆 BTW, I answered ur question about the manolo blahniks in a post before 😆

Thanks for pointing out. I know what manolo blahnik's are, Naina doesnot!! She pretends she is cool, but that was the joke buddy!!

this guy is totally confused, on 1 hand he denies his feelings ands gives it a name of pure friendship and on the other hand he yearns to see her everyday, lets see how long does it takes him to realise hopefully before kripa's alliance is fixed with prithvi!!

Thanks guys 😊 😊 UR right, Angad is really confused. He has never loved amy woman before but has been 'out' with many. That is why he cannot sort out his feelings about Kripa- let's see how and when he finally admits to his feelings

PART 18:

After a sleepless night, Angad finally showed up at work next morning.

"Hey Angad…how are you feeling?"
"Is everything alright?"
"Heard you were sick again?"

His concerned colleagues greeted him as he walked to his cabin.

"I am fine guys! Let's meet in the conference room….please bring all the proofs of the last shoot…c'mon hurry up!"

Everyone was surprised to hear the urgency in his voice, "what's wrong with him? He is normally so laid back," Simone, the web-designer of the team commented.

"It's probably the deadline….he has been out so much, he's finally realized work has to be done!" Robert commented

"Guys….he is in LOVE!" Kelly whispered softly.

"OOOOOOhhhh," they all said unanimously

They all gathered in the conference room and waited for Angad. Simone, another Indian American and a good family friend of Angad went up to the white board and wrote- MR CASANOVA IS IN LOVE!!!

Angad was not amused, "what's all this rubbish?" He erased the writing and got right down to business.

"Angad….the lover boy is in love himself!" Kathy chuckled as she started projecting the visuals on the screen.

"Guys! A person who finds himself imprisoned in his own clothes, would he ever want to be constrained by something like LOVE?" Angad said sourly, giving Kelly a dirty look.

"Angad boy….we have all seen you without clothes…at least the women have…..he..he….but we have never seen you in love before!" Michelle laughed as everyone else joined in.

Angad was furious; he was glad his cell phone just rang, "excuse me guys…I will be right back."

He stepped out and was pleasantly surprised, "Kripa? How are you? Itni subah subah….sab theek hai na?"

"Hi Angad….every thing is fine…I spoke to dad….he is fine with you helping me with the move," Kripa said. She did not want to tell Angad that the real reason she was calling him was to just hear his voice. She had not slept all night; she was too excited about the move and living close to Angad.

"Great! I will be at your house on Saturday morning….can you email me the address?"

"sure," she said softly

"Ok..bye…," he hung up, hoping to prolong the conversation somehow, but remembered that there was a room full of people waiting for him.

He was more relaxed after he got back to the conference room and got down to work immediately.

SATURDAY MORNING:

Mishti was back from her trip. For a change, the whole family had breakfast together. Naina made it a point to wake up on time, so she could see her younger daughter off! She had a hair appointment later, and was hoping Kripa would leave soon, so she would not feel guilty about not seeing her off. Naina had heard that Kripa's friend was coming over to help her with the move. Naina had always portrayed the image of a perfect mother to the outside world, and she wanted the friend to think the same way. Naina was under the impression that it was the doctor friend, Mishti had mentioned.

The doorbell rang at 9 in the morning.

"Good morning doctor!" Naina answered the door.

'Doctor? Were you expecting a doctor?" Angad asked. He was dressed in his old torn jeans and a casual white t-shirt with a baseball cap worn backwards. He was carrying some belts and a dolly to haul Kripa's stuff

Naina glanced him from top to toe, "dekhne mein tho achha hai, par doctor kum, worker zyaada lag raha hai.

Angad guessed that the lady looking so glamorous early Saturday morning was none other than the 'mighty mommy' herself!

"Hello aunty! I am Angad….Kripa's friend."

The 'auntie' greeting slighted Naina, she had instructed other youngsters to call her, "Naina" or "Mrs. Khanna"instead.

"So you are a doctor?" Naina's face lit up

"No…I am not…was he supposed to come instead?" Angad felt a little offended

Kripa walked to the door, wearing jeans and a sleeveless top, "Hi Angad! Mom…this is Angad…he is going to help me with the move."

"Tho us doctor ka kya hua?" Naina asked

Kripa turned red with embarrassment. "Doctor? Mom doctor ki tho koi baat nahin huyi thi!"

Mishti came to the rescue, "Hi Angad! I think mom is confusing you with Dr Prithvi Bose….I had mentioned that Kripa had met Prithvi last week….sorry about the confusion, please come in."

Angad was still confused, but walked in with the dolly, "Kripa….where is your room?" he was not keen on spending any more time with Kripa's mom at this point.

"So Angad, what do you do? Besides being a mover!" Naina tried to be funny

Angad grinned and looked at Kripa, "I am an avid admirer of beauty!"

Kripa blushed at his comment and turned around to go upstairs.

Mishti smiled and said, "mom…Angad is a photographer in our company….he is the best….he can make anyone look beautiful with his pictures!"

"Really? So would you do a portrait session for me one day?" Naina asked enthusiastically.

"Auntie…aap tho khud hi ek portrait lagti hain, I don't think any photograph could do justice to your beauty!" Angad said sarcastically.

Kripa heard the comment and could not help giggling. She looked back and met Angad's gaze. Angad just followed her upstairs.

Naina was baffled by his comment, "kya main sach much itni sunder hoon ki meri sundarta photo mein bhi nahin samaayegi?" She really liked Angad….he would be perfect for Mishti she thought.

"Mishti…..yeh Angad bahut samajhdaar hai….kya tujhey pasand hai? Dekhney aur baat cheet mein bhi bahut achha hai," Naina asked Mishti.

"Mom!" Mishti rolled her eyes, "He is not my types…..anyways I am more interested in my career right now…..did you hear from Mira Nair?"

"No…I heard she was looking for someone more Indian types….koi baat nahin Karan Johar is looking for some girls too….I will arrange a meeting with him." Naina reassured Mishti.

"Hello Angad! I am Dilip Sharma, Kripa's dad!" Dilip walked into Kripa's room as Angad taped the boxes.

"Hello uncle! Nice to meet you! Beautiful house…..you have good taste!" Angad complimented Dilip.

Dilip grinned and said, "in most things I do," he hugged Kripa and said, "take good care of my princess in the city….I heard she will be your neighbor."

"Of course uncle….Kripa is a good friend….I assure you she is in safe hands," Angad nodded.

"Good! Do you need any help?" Dilip asked.

"I am fine uncle….don't strain your back at your age," Angad lifted the boxes and placed them on the dolly.

Dilip instantly liked Angad; he could tell that Kripa was happy with Angad's friendship. He could tell that Angad was fond of Kripa too and his friendship seemed genuine. Dilip was glad that Kripa had decided to move on and had found a good friend-someone who liked her for what she was- Kripa deserved to be happy.

Angad loaded his truck with Kripa's stuff.

Mishti came up to Kripa, "Kripa….I am so glad you will be closer to my apartment too….we can spend some evenings together now….par ek baat hai Kripa," she took her aside.

"kya Mishti?" Kripa asked

"Angad is a nice guy and all….but you know he has a reputation," Mishti said

"Reputation?" Kripa asked

"Yeah….he is quite a casanova kind of guy…..you know he has practically slept with every model in our company….that is how he manages to make them look so beautiful in his pictures…..I know you are an adult now, and I am happy you are going to be more independent, but I just don't want you to get hurt…..just keep your distance from him….I mean don't go beyond friendship with him…..in fact mom and I feel, Dr Prithvi Bose would be better suited for you as a life partner," Mishti gave her sisterly advise.

Kripa turned red with anger, "Mishti…..if you want me to be independent, can you let me make my own decisions then? Any ways, Angad aur mere beech aisa kuch bhi nahin hai…..and jahan tak Prithvi ki baat hai…..I AM NOT INTERESTED!"

Angad overheard the conversation between the sisters. He felt bad about his so-called 'reputation,' but felt happy that Kripa was not interested in Prithvi! Why did that fact make him happy? He did not know….but he did not want to imagine them together, even in his wildest dreams!

Angad knocked on his door, "I think we are all set….shall we go?"

Kripa hugged Mishti and walked down with Angad. Dilip was a little tearful, but happy at the same time as he gave Kripa a warm and extended hug. Naina gave her a stand-offish hug, "aati rehna….roz phone kar lena…..we need to make sure you are alive!"

Kripa's face fell; she was hoping that her mother would at least give her an affectionate goodbye kiss, but her hopes were dashed once again.

Angad was horrified to hear Naina's remark. He could not hold himself and said, 'Auntie….I am sure Kripa would find herself more alive than she has ever been!"

Dilip and Mishti smiled at each other, as Naina turned red with anger, "what do you mean?"

"Good bye auntie….hope to see you again," Angad waved good bye to everyone and walked towards his truck.

Kripa sat on the passenger side and waved a tearful bye to her family.

"Why do you have a pick up truck in the city?" she asked as they hit the freeway.

"So I can help damsels in distress!" he laughed, "I have a lot of memories attached to this truck….so I cannot give it up…I pay 200 dollars a month for a special garage for this thing….it is really precious to me! Just like your laptop is to you," he leaned over and looked into her eyes.

Kripa just lowered her eyes, "I guess I don't want to know why this is so precious," she remembered how some of the rowdy high school boys used to have tail gate parties after football games and get drunk and god knows what in their macho trucks! Somehow, imagining Angad in that situation did not seem disgusting to her as she used to feel about the other boys in the past.

KRIPA's NEW APARTMENT:

"Angad….I did not know I was leasing a furnished apartment!" Kripa gasped as she walked in
"Yes…..the top floor apartments are all furnished," he grinned.

"Did you do this?" Kripa looked at him.

Angad looked down sheepishly, "I hope you like it….I know there is not much white…but I wanted you to experience some colors for a change."

Kripa had tears in her eyes, tears of joy- "Angad why did you do that? I don't deserve it," she could not resist herself and hugged him with her arms around his neck.

Angad was startled by the sudden display of affection by her. He instinctively put his arms around her slender waist and whispered, "of course you do…..you deserve the best Kripa." They held each other in an embrace for sometime, but then Kripa pulled away, a little taken aback by her own response, "I am sorry….I got a little carried away."

Angad smiled and touched her face, "what are friends for? You can hug me whenever you want….tumhara haq hai!"

He walked out of the door, "let me hold the elevator and get all the boxes…you stay here."

Kripa wiped her tears and walked around her one-bedroom apartment. Angad had done a great job with the apartment. She loved the furniture, the colors, the view from the high rise building……she loved everything….she loved Angad….even more than she had thought…..

She turned the TV on and was surprised to see this music video on-

"because you loved me" by Celine Dion.

She had never been fond of romantic songs or videos, but this song captured her emotions so well. She was mesmerized with the video as she imagined Angad and her in place of Robert Redford and Michelle Pfiefer:

Enjoy this beautiful video and song:

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
Ill be forever thankful baby
Youre the one who held me up
Never let me fall
Youre the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldnt speak
You were my eyes when I couldnt see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldnt reach
You gave me faith coz you believed
Im everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
Im grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I dont know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldnt speak
You were my eyes when I couldnt see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldnt reach
You gave me faith coz you believed
Im everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
Youve been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldnt speak
You were my eyes when I couldnt see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldnt reach
You gave me faith coz you believed
Im everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldnt speak
You were my eyes when I couldnt see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldnt reach
You gave me faith coz you believed
Im everything I am
Because you loved me

Im everything I am
Because you loved me

…..to be contd…

Thanks guys. Kaj, ur right Naina is evil, but Mishti is not that bad. She does want happiness for her sister, as long as it does not interfere with her plans in life. 😆
