Hi weekend cutti so enjoy the part😳
Part: 12
Angad suddenly noticed Misthy behind him while he is totally immersed in admiring Kripa's pictures from the first and last days of puja. Misthy grinned from ear to ear and sat in front of him "Angad!.."
Angad twisted his eyebrows with annoyance and stopped her from beginning her conversation with irritation "Abb shur mat hojao, Misthy! Please. I'm fed up with you and Kripa. Let me enjoy in my own world."
"You can enjoy your world as long as it doesn't harm the person whom you love to the core of your heart, Angad!" Misthy pushed the file she brought in front of him. Angad noticed anger in her voice but didn't argue further with her. Both discussed about the project they are dealing overseas.
"Angad! This project is facing big losses. I don't think the people there are following the programme in right way we wanted to implement. And this is going out of our hands. We are already facing $3million expenditure with no outcome so far. If we don't seriously look into this we will end up in a tragic loss."
Angad went through the results and latest developments and called the project managers offshore and had emergency conference after an hour. Misthy sat silently pretending reading the file. Angad understood she wants to talk something "Sunao, kya kehna chahtey ho?"
Misthy seriously looked into his eyes "Gayatri aunty is very particular about Kripa to get her married early. I don't know what bothers her as she is very eager to do so. Shabbir and Raj are in the list of Kripa's prospective grooms. Shabbir was in love with me and he is almost 10 years older than her. Raj also likes someone but he never opened his mind so far. At her luck Damini approached Sarma Sir asking Kripa's hand and Gayatri ji with no second thoughts arranged for engagement. Prithvi is a nice boy and there won't be any reason for any parent with eligible daughters to reject him. Now, whether Kripa likes you or she loves Prithvi doesn't matter. Kripa is happy with her life as it comes to her. She respects her family values and I don't think she does have enough courage to break the engagement for you. So, your love makes her break her heart. Don't grow unnecessary feelings in her and ruin her life."
Angad heard patiently flipping pencil between his fingers and stayed silent for a moment. "I can understand Gayatri aunty and Kripa too. I can't live without Kripa. If I don't take dare step I would end up losing her forever and live my rest of life with her memories. I know I break Sarma and Bose family prestige by breaking the engagement. There is no point in marrying when there is no love. 'Saat Hotey hotey pyar hojaayega' I don't believe in this. I know Kripa already has feelings for me. She needs some push to confess and I'm ready to help her."
Misthy sighed under breath as her speech didn't help anyway. They both fell into thoughts for a while.
"Hi, Angad! Main ghar mein Navratri rakh rahi hoon. Har baar meri work wajah sey itni religiously toh nahin karpati thi magar abb meri honeywali bahu toh meri saat hai. Uski wajah sey mein pura dus din puja rakh rahi oon. Tum jaroor aana. Naina ji aur Anittah toh humesha atey hai. This is first time you've been with us for navaratri. Meri bahu bahut achi puja paath karti hai. You must listen to it. Tum bhi jaroor aana, Misthy!" Damini entered into the cabin and formally invited them.
After Damini left, Angad looked mischievously into Misthy's eyes "tumhi batao, Misthy! Is this just coincidence or my luck? Abb mujhey har roz ussey milney ka chance milagaya hai. Wo door rehney ki lakhon khosish karey. I will succeed to meet her."
Misthy smiled wide from ear to ear "pagal!!!" and walked out of the cabin.
Angad concentrated on his work for next three weeks hoping to see Kripa in Dusserah navratri days. Kripa never made attempt to take lunch for Sarma in the last three weeks. She made Anittah meet her only in the college and avoided all the possible moments where she could meet Angad.
Angad's wait lasted when he went to Damini's house on the first day of pujas in full preparation to attack Kripa. Misthy and Khannas also attended the puja.
Damini's apartment is a three bedroom apartment with a big hall and a kitchenette. She placed a two feet Durga in the corner of hall under a small mandap. The whole hall is decorated with flower and tickly garlands. Two big blankets are spread on the floor for guests. Kripa is arranging fruits, flowers, Prasad near goddess.
Kripa wore red silk sari and put a small bun and flowers on her hair. Angad's eyes not moved away from Kripa even for a second. Angad greeted Kripa with eyes and Kripa reciprocated for curtsey. Aaliyah specially took care of her make-up in Indian traditional dress to impress Naina and Devyani on Damini's special instructions. Damini is planning to bring the topic before the ten days end. Damini ordered Aaliyah to give flowers and kumkum to everyone at aarati time.
Misthy escorted Angad to control his behavior which made Angad grin at her.
Misthy enjoyed his anger. Kripa thanked Misthy after the puja when she caught her in a corner. Angad budged "so, this is your arrangement??" he cornered Kripa and Misthy warned "Angad! Chupraho, koyi dekhlega. Jao, Aaliyah tujhey pukar rahi hai." Angad grinned at her and Kripa tried hard to stop giggling.
"Dekhloonga tujhey!" he showed his forefinger at Kripa when she met her chirpy eyes hiding her smile. Angad walked to Aaliyah dropped his hand on her and whispered something in her ear. Aaliyah blushed and excited and took him inside.
Kripa worried "Misthy! We know he doesn't love Aaliyah. Hope, he doesn't hurt Aaliyah in course of harassing me." Misthy laughed "Don't worry, you think about your life. Aaliyah is not innocent like you. She very well knows how to take care of herself and him too." Both laughed and walked into the crowd.
Kripa's eyes searched for Angad and Aaliyah but they didn't come out of Aaliyah's room till dinner time. At dinner Angad leaned over Aaliyah giving side glances to Kripa. Damini and Naina liked their closeness but Kripa worried if Aaliyah would get hurt in the process. When Aaliyah left Angad alone to see off one of her friends Kripa caught him alone "Angad! Yeh zidd chodo. Don't hurt Aaliyah. If you are not interested in her better stay away from her."
Angad wickedly laughed at her "Sure! If you give me your hand uski haat chodney kay liye ready hoon. Tum mere saat nahin dena chahti hai aur kissi ko bhi nazdeeq nahin aaney dog? Yeh kya possessiveness? Ya Jalan?"
Kripa gave him sharp looks "Do whatever you want to do but if you hurt Aaliyah mujh sey bura aur koyi nahin hoga. Aaliyah meri nand bhi nahin balki meri achisi dost bhi hai."
"Uss nanand ke liye tumhari jindagi tyag kardo, mere liye."Angad bent to her ear to whisper. Kripa angrily stumped her feet and left. Angad smiled as he is reaching his goal and turned to see Misthy folding her hands and watching with smile. Angad hit his head with right hand "Tum donon haat dhokey mere peechey padey hai. Na chain detey na araam."
Misthy watched with a smile him passing her. He put his tongue out and walked away making Misthy laugh loudly.
Second day evening Angad reached Damini's house for puja before Naina and others reached. He caught Kripa alone in the kitchen as he noticed Aaliyah is still getting ready in her room and Damini is on the way home. Kripa is startled for sudden budge of Angad "Tum? Itni jaldi kyon aye ho? Sab log aney mein aur puja mein deir hai."
He leaned to the kitchen entrance folding his eyes "tumsey milney ke liye mera waqt hogaya hai. Do you need any help?" She angrily looked at him. She put hands on her waist and stared into his eyes coming close to him "Tum chup chap hall mein bhaito aur mujhey tang mat karo. Wahi bahut bada ehsaan hai tera mere liye."
Angad cupped her face immediately and kissed her cheeks "You know I don't like to do any ehsaan to you other than breaking your engagement."
Kripa shocked for his lenience and dumb stuck. He caressed her lips with both thumb "Anything else you need from me?"
Kripa fumed flaring nostrils and threw his hands away from her and stepped aside to walk into puja room. He stopped her by putting his hand on her way "humarey barrein mein Prithvi ko ya tumhari parents ko Kab bata rahey ho?"
Kripa stunned for his question and twisted her eyebrows "humaray barrein mein? What do you mean? What is there to tell about us? Haan ek baat jaroor batana hai tumharey barrein mein kit um ek pagal ho"
Angad pulled her close holding her hands "Haan, batao mein ek pagal hoon. Tumhari pyar mein pagal o chuka hoon." He kissed her two cheeks and walked into hall winking at her and leaving her in shock. Kripa clinched her teeth and about to say something but stopped when she noticed Aaliyah coming out of her room.
She walked into kitchen and wiped her cheeks and checked her palms and slowly put them near her lips. "kaisa laga?" Kripa shocked and widened her eyes putting down her hands without turning her face back at Angad. Aaliyah came behind him "Hi Angad! When did you come? Tell me how do I look?" Angad turned and gestured 'wonderful'.
Aaliyah went to answer the door when calling bell rang. Angad pulled still stand Kripa from behind by holding her waist and whispered in her ear "Pyar ko mat chupao." Kripa stunned with wide eyes and felt her breath stopped.
He walked into the hall and greeted Damini. Naina and others followed her. Naina and Damini surprised for Angad's early presence and gestured to each other. Angad waited for Kripa to come out of kitchen but Anittah brought all flowers, fruits and Prasad. Kripa came at the aarati and sung lowering her eyes. Puja performed religiously for two hours and dinner served lately. Kripa avoided Angad's eye contact the whole time and Aaliyah entertained Angad as usual.
Four more days completed with small encounters between Angad and Kripa. Kripa most of the time took help from Aaliyah and Anittah and avoided Angad. Damini and Naina felt Angad is attracted to Aaliyah. Misty couldn't follow him for next four days coz of her work. Dilip and Suryaban also didn't attend coz of their busy work. Anittah, Naina, Angad were permanent visitors for those four days. Aaliyah felt extremely happy for Angad's presence and his interest on her.
Kripa tried to tell Anittah about Angad but couldn't understand where to start. She couldn't even warn Aaliyah with a fear she might misunderstand her. Kripa is spending sleepless nights as his touch tingling her all the time. Angad went a little farther by kissing her lips, throat whenever he got a little chance. She couldn't confess her feeling nor stopped Angad from playing his tactics with her.
Seventh day, Saraswati puja, Aaliyah, Anittah and Kripa took special care to dress up. Kripa is unknowingly showing interest in her dress up. She wore mazanta gagra with ruby set and bangles full of her hands. She tied part of hair on top of back of head and pinned and rest hair left loose curled at the bottom.
Gayatri dropped her at Bose apartments' gate and went to pick up her order of sweets in nearby sweet shop.
Kripa ran to the elevator before it closed the doors and thanked the person who stopped it for her. She turned to him as she didn't get any response and stunned to see Angad smiling in his white shirt and black jeans leaning to the wall in the corner.
She stretched her lips and turned her face raising her eyebrows "Yeh yahin milna tha? Bhagwan!!" He admired back her from top to bottom for a second and pulled her back holding her elbows with his two hands. Kripa lost balance and fell on him. He turned her circling his left hand around her waist securing with right hand. Both faces came close as much as their noses touching. Both are breathing each other's breath. He bent to kiss her lips and she pushed him back and leaned the other wall. He locked her to the wall by placing his two hands on her either side. He slowly caressed her strands on her face and she is irritated by turning her face other side. He caressed her right jaw with his right knuckles "Kabhi Prithvi ney aisa chuva tha?" Kripa made big eyes at him "Tujhey kya matlab?" she flared and turned her face again. He turned her face to him holding her chin with his right fingers. "How many times he kissed you? And where did he?" he whispered breathing heavily on her face. She startled for his enquiry "You are too much, chodo mujhey, koyi ayega."
He shook his head sideways without moving an inch "aaney do tab dekhengey. Pehley mera sawal ka jawab do. How many times he touched you? Mera aur uska touch mein kuch faraq hai? Which one do you enjoy more?" Kripa angrily looked at him "Shut up Angad! Why do you care about Prithvi? He is my fianc and he has a right. Why do you think I tell you about us?" Angad smiled carelessly and stared at her face.
He blew air on her face. He slowly moved his right hand to her waist and softly pressed. Kripa stopped her inhaling breath and moaned softly. She closed her eyes unknowingly when he caressed her waist with his thumb. He moved close to her and kissed her collar bone. He nipped with lips and licked with tongue. He moved his nose to her throat and upper jaw and towards right cheek. Kripa started shivering and tried to move his hands and turned her face on sideways. In the process his lips touched her upper lip. He pressed there and stopped her movement. She lost her senses and felt like fainting. He felt her shiver and pressed her upper lip softly with his lower lip. She moaned with fear.
Sudden stop of the elevator brought the two into this world. Angad moved side to her and two little kids around 6years old stepped inside and pressed the closed button. They wished Angad and Kripa and stared at them from top to bottom. Kripa is still in trance and leaned to the wall covering her face half. Angad waved his left hand at them. Kripa tried to move away from Angad but he stopped holding her left hand with his right.
The two kids observed them and giggled in each other's eyes covering their mouths. Angad gave side glance to Kripa who is looking helplessly at him and crossed his legs leaning back to the wall holding her hand in his tight grip. The kids got out after two floors bidding them bye and giggling. Angad waved at them and smiled closing the door.
He checked Kripa who is staring at the floor. "I love you very much, Kripa! Now the whole situation is in your hands. Tell your parents that you are in love with me. I don't let you marry Prithvi. That's damn sure. I can tell your parents, sochlo. Which way you prefer to break this engagement."
Kripa is filled tears and didn't look back at him. He is softly squeezing her hand, fingers as if consoling her. When the elevator stopped at their floor Angad let her go and followed her. Kripa directly walked into the kitchen to suppress her tension and Angad is caught by Aaliyah. Misthy noticed the tension and followed Kripa into the kitchen. She placed her hand on Kripa and Kripa couldn't meet her eyes. Misthy decided to handle Angad later.
Angad got a call while the aarati is almost finishing and Misthy also left along with him. Angad gestured Kripa before leaving. Kripa bid bye with eyes with confusing expressions.
Next three days Angad and Misthy couldn't attend the puja coz of the tension in the offshore project. Prithvi came on 8th day and joined the pujas along with his fiance. He felt happy for Damini's thoughts of proposing Aaliyah to Angad. Kripa felt choked to hear the proposal but couldn't utter a single word. She is still shivering remembering her encounter with Angad in the elevator. She lost sleep for last three days.
