Part: 19
Angad returned home after four weeks of long trip in US and burst into tears when he heard about Kripa's marriage. He yelled, screamed, abused everyone for not letting him know and allowed Kripa to go with the marriage.
Dadi, Naina, Dilip, Anittah consoled him and explained everything in detail. "She agreed for the marriage with open heart and you unnecessarily worrying about her. We couldn't approach with the proposal as Kripa looks happy with Prithvi. How can we break that engagement when both bride and groom are happy with each other?"
Angad screamed "Yeh sab jhoot hai. I don't believe Kripa liked and agreed for the marriage with her full will. They forced her and you all sent her with Prithvi. She loves me only me. I shouldn't have gone, it's my MISTAKE to trust you all. Wo Kripa bhi kabhi phone par nahin aati."
Everyone thought Angad is obsessed with his love on Kripa. He couldn't reveal the truth of his commitment with Kripa.
He cried for three days and shuttled between Sarma house and his. He couldn't meet Gayatri or Suryaban as they are on one month long pilgrimage as Kripa left for Belgium a week after Prithvi left. Angad forgot doing daily rituals too in humiliation, guilt, heart break remembering Kripa every minute. Khannas tried hard to bring him back to normal.
Misthy got married to Shabbir in December and left after two months for Washington, D.C. troughh Khanna industries visa papers.
Angad gave a word to Misthy to get along with life and started diverting his mind in his business. After three months Angad noticed that Raj and Anittah are interested in each other and Angad informed in the house scolding Anittah for hiding things from family. "Mujh sey kya seekha hai, Anittah? Kabhi chup chupkey pyar mat karo. Sachaiyi ka saamna karna seekho. Otherwise, you might lose your life too like your brother."
Anittah is still grateful to Angad for his initiative in her love affair as Naina and Dilip agreed for their relation without any fussy. Anittah asked Raj to wait for marriage till Angad gets his girl. Angad warned several times but Anittah didn't give up hopes. Raj is also very cooperative and patient and still waiting for Anittah and Angad to find his girl.
Naina started looking for girls and Angad warned them from running away from home. Dadi consoled Naina and advised to wait for some more time. After six months project in Belgium, Prithvi got a job in Khanna industries branch in US, with Damini's influence. Gayatri and Suryaban visited US for Kripa's delivery.
Aaliyah tried to make friends with Angad but he always discouraged her. Damini and Aaliyah still puzzled at Angad's depressive status but Naina never gave any scope of suspicion. Aaliyah left for US after serious trials to get Angad in her life but in vain for two years.
Naina, Gayatri and Damini still meeting in the clubs but Naina never gave any scope for them to speak about Angad or Anittah. Damini is still trying to inject the thought of proposal of Aaliyah to Angad but Naina deaf eared all the time.
Angad moved out of Khanna Mansion as Naina forced him to marry Kanan, the leading Lawyer in the area. Kanan's mother, Avantika whom Naina met in her club two years ago and fond her instantly. Anittah went with him to take care of him on Devyani's advice. Though he disliked the constant bugging about his marriage Angad is maintaining the relations intact,.
Kripa and Angad are getting each other's news through their moms…truth about their outside life…..
Present:
"Hi, Prithvi!" Kripa wished him as soon as she entered the house. Sur is still holding Kripa's hand and watching Prithvi from distance.
Prithvi raised his eyebrow at her "Hey, Sur! Did you already forget me? Kyon, Kripa! Kya kar diya meri beti ko?" he held his hands out for Sur. Kripa signaled her and she went to him and sat in his lap. Prithvi showed his cheeks and Sur kissed him with a smile. He saw chocolates in her hand and new chain in her neck. "Yeh, chocolates kisney diya hai meri gudiya ko? Aur yeh chain? Meiney kabhi nahin dekha tumhari paas?"
Sur looked at Kripa and Kripa replied with a smile "Wo khareedney ke liye hi gayi thi. Wahan shop walon ney Sur ko pasand karliya aur chocolates bhi diya tha"
"Are they boys?" he asked Sur and she nodded her head with confused expressions. Prithvi smiled "Boys sey door raho, nain toh tumhey phasa kar lejayengay. Aur mein tumari liye rolunga" he kissed her cheeks and tickled her to make her laugh loudly, and played with her some more time.
Kripa relieved when they both got into usual routine and walked inside. Gayatri followed her and whispered "Prithvi was waiting for you for long time. Where did you go this early morning?" Gayatri doesn't seem too impressed with Kripa's reply about the chain and chocolates.
Kripa gave sharp looks to her mom and left silently without answering her to change her dress into casuals.
After lunch Prithvi took Kripa and Sur to Damini's house.
"Mom! I want to settle back here in India. Look for an apartment."
Damini surprised at Prithvi's sudden decision "I guessed something like this will come up. I was wondering about your sudden surprise visit. Why do you want to stay separately? We all can stay together. I will arrange all facilities like in US otherwise we all can move together to the new house in Panvel."
Kripa wondered at Prithvi's decision and disliked the idea as it is far from her mom's house and Angad's house but kept quiet. Prithvi agree to move to Panvel's house as it is big and constructed with modern amenities.
"Bhaiya! Prithvi decided to move here for good. They are moving to Panvel next week along with Damini Aunty. Kripa called me in the morning." Anittah gave the news after two days while dining.
Angad surprised for Prithvi's decision "I guessed Anittah! He resigned for the job in Washington branch. I'm not sure if he joins here or completely resigning. I don't want him to leave the company but I don't know if Dad allows him."
Anittah surprised "So, you know before me!! I was wondering if Kripa insisted to come back."
Angad nodded his head "I don't think so. She didn't keep any relations with us, me, for last four years and I don't think she insisted to move back. It must be Prithvi's decision."
"Do you think so? Kripa ki tone sey aisa nahin laga tha. She is so excited to stay here."
Angad stared at Anittah and thought in his mind "Do Prithvi knew about us? If Sur knows about me, probably Prithvi is also knowing about the truth? I have to clarify with Kripa. How can I contact her?"
"Does she leave any contact number?" Angad asked curiously.
Anittah moved her head left to right "Don't try bhaiyya! I don't want you to hurt again."
Angad nodded smiling faintly.
