Thanks y'all 😊 😊
[SIZE=7>PART 20:....
Prithvi kept sobbing on Kripa's lap, and then looked up with tears in his eyes, "Kripa….mainey aaj faisla kiya hai ki main tumhara har kadam par saath doonga…….ek achcha saathi, aur ek achach pati banoonga….ho sakta hai waqt ke saath hamare beech ki doori bhi khatam ho jaaye…. doctor ne tho kaha hi tha ki kayi baar saath saath rehtey yeh problem bhi theek ho jaati hai……."
Kripa was speechless…..what could she say……should she say, "thanks, but no thanks Prithvi!"
Prithvi shook her a little, 'kya soch rahi ho?"
'Wo kuch nahin….aaj ki meeting ke baare mein….mujhey jaldi tayyar hona chahiye…..11 baje mujhey marketing person se milna hai…."
"Main bhi chalta hoon tumharey saath……abhi tak mainey tumhare kaam mein koyi interest bhi nahin liya……aaj se jo tum kahogi, karoonga…."
"Prithvi….iss ki koyi zaroorat nahin hai…mera kaam theek chal raha hai…tum apney kaam par dhyan lagao….kal hi tumney itna bada office khola hai…." Kripa tried to get away to take a shower and get ready.
"Nahin Kripa…aaj tho main zaroor chaloonga…"
"Prithvi, waise Angad ney kaha tha wo bhi aayega….mujhey itni help ki zaroorat nahin hai…"
"Angad ko kyon pareshaan karti ho?……usko apni naukri par dhyan dene do….main tumhara pati hoon…..main chaloonga tumharey saath…..chalo tayyar ho jaao…main neeche wait kar raha hoon…"
Kripa sighed and went to get ready, "chalo ek baar aaney do……baad mein tho apney kaam mein busy ho jaayega….."
Prithvi and Kripa reached the advertising office of the company, which would help Kripa in marketing her boutique.
Kripa was surprised to see Kartik waiting in the lobby, 'Hi Kripa!" Kartik greeted her.
Kripa was not too thrilled to see him, 'HI," she said coldly
"Achcha huya tu bhi aa gaya……aaj Kripa ki boutique ki marketing ke baare mein baat karni hai……sabsey pehley ek achcha naam sochna chahiye…." Prithvi said
"Hmm…naam?…..Bose designers kaisa rahega?….it will also give recognition to the Bose name and our new company also…" Kartik advised
Kripa's face was red with anger, she thought, "tumhari advise kisney maangi hai…."
Prithvi then added, "how about Kripa Bose designer wear!"
She just said, "aap log worry nahin karein….mainey kuch naam soch rakhey hain….please main handle kar loongi…," as she said that, she saw Angad walking into the building also.
Angad was surprised to see Kripa with Prithvi and Kartik, 'Hi Kripa….looks like you have enough help…"
"Angad….main soch raha hoon, ab main hi Kripa ki help karoonga…..tumhey apney job sey aaney ki zaroorat nahin padhegi…" Prithvi said
"Haan Angad…waise bhi hamarey ab itney resources hain business main, ki Kripa can just utilize those…..you don't have to worry anymore…." Kartik added
Angad just stared at Prithvi and Kartik in disbelief; he then looked at Kripa, who equally looked perplexed, "O..OK..AY…whatever Kripa wants…." He said and waited for Kripa's response.
Kripa had had enough of them, she said firmly, "Kripa does not need any help…she can handle this herself…..please aap teeno yahan se chaley jaaiye…" she had no choice but to let Angad leave too.
"Are you sure?" Kartik asked, "we can really help you.."
"NO THANKS MR KARTIK AGARWAL….I AM EXTREMELY CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF MY BUSINESS….please leave me alone all of you…."
The 3 men turned around and left. Angad called Kripa from his cell when he was in the car, "are you sure Kripa?'
"Angad…aaj ki meeting bahut preliminary hai…main tumhey lunch par milti hoon and I will brief you…..yeh Kartik ney Prithvi ke dimaag mein koyi keeda bhar diya hai…subah sey meri help karney ki zidd laga rakhi hai…"
"Don't worry Kripa…I will see you at lunch…Prithvi ko main sambhaalta hoon….love you.." Angad smiled and kissed the phone as he hung up. Angad thought, "Yeh Kartik ka bachcha, hum sab ko dooba key rahega…let me take care of him now…."
Angad called Prithvi and set up to meet him at the new office, "Ab jab tumney CEO banaa hi diya hai…tho let me come and check out my office!"
Prithvi and Kartik were working on some spreadsheets, when Angad strolled in. Angad took off his shades, 'Prithvi, can I talk to you a minute?"
Prithvi joined Angad outside the room, "bolo Angad?"
"Mujhey company ke saarey financial statements dekhney hain…I just want to get an idea ki humnein kis investor sey kitna paisa liya hai…..after all mere signatures hain sab par….."
Prithvi said, "Angad, why are you worried? Kartik has everything in order…"
"PRITHVI! I AM THE CEO…ISN'T IT?"
"Ok bade bhai….laata hoon.."
Prithvi picked up the file and gave it to Angad. Angad went to another room and glanced at the numbers. His worries were not unfounded-their company had taken a lot of loans from various investors. If the company did well, then they would have no problems in returning the loans but if not……
Angad called Prithvi and sat down with him. He explained the financial details and projected profits for the company in the first 6 months, "Prithvi…looking at these numbers, you should get right onto getting a bunch of clients…yeh lo mere paas kuch contact numbers hain…..arrange meetings with them right away, otherwise the competition will eat you up……you have no time to waste in other things right now….focus on this only…..Kartik ko bhi samjhado…OK…main chalta hoon…I have a lunch meeting…." Angad left, hoping Prithvi would stay spend his energy in the right place, rather than bothering Kripa…….he would rather handle Kripa's affairs himself…
Prithvi got a little worried, as Kartik had not shown as much urgency as Angad portrayed. Prithvi looked at the calculations Angad had done, and kind of agreed with Angad's philosophy.
"yaar Kartik……yeh kuch numbers hain…..let's arrange some meetings …we need some customers soon, to get the cash flow going…." Prithvi handed the cards to Kartik
"Prithvi…..tu worry mat kar yaar…we have plenty of cash…saare investors ka paisa abhi hamare bank account mein hai…."
"Yaar..wo tho theek hai….par soon we have to return that money…."
"Yeh tujhey kisney kaha? Yaar investors ko numbers dekhney hote hai…and I can crunch numbers the way you want….investors will think we are making profits, and they will keep investing more and more……there is no urgency…..relax kar…."
Prithvi was confused….. "Angad jo keh raha tha that makes sense if I look at this file par Kartik has more experience…after all he has worked at big financial companies in the US…..kya karoon main?"
Kartik saw Prithvi was in deep thought, "Prithvi…chal saamney wo building dekhney chaltey hain….wahan naye high rise apartments ban rahey hain…..main chahta hoon hum dono ek-ek apartment wahan lele……we need a decent place to entertain clients, plus it would be near work….aur waise bhi tujhey aur Kripa ko apna separate ghar basaa lena chahiye…..kab tak apney papa aur Angad ke saath rahogey….I think Kripa shows a lot of interest in Angad anyways….it would be better yadi tumhara alag ghar ho…."
"Yaar Kartik….Angad aur Kripa aise nahin hai….I trust them a lot….par ghar ka idea bura nahin hai….chal let's go…"
Angad walked into his office, as he still had another hour to meet Kripa for lunch. He sat down on his chair to check his emails but found himself blindfolded by someone's hands. He felt the hands on his eyes and smiled mischievously, " Oh Rosie…tum aa gayi?"
"KYA KAHA TUMNEY?" Kripa removed her hand from his eyes and turned him around, "Rosie? Yeh Rosie kaun hai?"
Angad played on, " Pata nahin….itney soft haath kisi Rosie ke hi hone chahiye…..," he laughed and pulled her onto his lap, "Yahan kya kar rahi ho? Kabhi tho kaam karney diya karo….." he kissed her neck and hugged her tightly from behind.
"Dekhney aayi thi ki tum rosie ke saath kya kartey ho?" she teased him
"Yahi karta hoon jo tumharey saath karta hoon….." he nibbled at her ear.
"Achcha? Tumhari secretary ko bula ke poonchu?" she pressed the intercom button but he pulled her hand away, 'kya kar rahi ho?…I was just kidding….chalo lunch par chaltey hain…."
"Nahin abhi nahin…..pehley kiss deni hogi…"
"Kiss de tho di…ab chalo…koyi aa jaayega….mere office mein aana jaana laga rehta hai…." Angad tried to get up but Kripa refused to budge from his lap.
She turned around and faced him. She crossed her legs on his lap and encircled her arms around his neck, "I am ready…."
"OK baba…." He kissed her on her cheek
"Ek yahan..." she turned the other cheek
He obliged her, "chalo…ab chaltey hain…"
"pehley yahan…" she brought her lips close to his. He could not resist and kissed her passionately on her lips.
"Excuse me sir….oh I am sorry….," Angad's secretary accidentally opened the door and saw a lady sitting on Angad's lap with her back to the door and kissing him. She was shocked and shut the door behind her.
Angad saw her leave, "Oh No Kripa…meri reputation ka kya hoga….."
"Ab tho reputation kharaab ho hi gayi hai tho ab kya darna…." She engaged him in another long drawn kiss……Angad just melted and kissed her back.
They went out for lunch and discussed the details of the meetings at the table.
"Kripa mujhey lagta hai tumharey boutique ka naam hona chahiye…KRIPA'S…that's it…..kyonki yeh tumhari identity hai…tumhara sapna hai…..people should recognize your designs by your name, not your last name or husband's name or lover's name..or…" he started laughing.
"Lover's name? That's a new one!" she laughed back
"Angad tum mera kitna khayal rakhtey ho….." she placed her hand on his hand, "ek tumhi ho jo mere kaam ki itni respect kartey ho…..I appreciate that"
" aur kya kya appreciate karti ho mere baare mein?" Angad asked mischievously
Kripa blushed at that remark and whispered in his ear, "public mein bolney wali baat nahin hai…..sharmaa jaaogey…"
Angad pulled her hand towards him and whispered back, 'tho kahan par bataaogi….boutique mein chalein phir?"
She smiled and got up, "aaj nahin…..abhi bahut kaam hai," she teased him and walked outside. He just sighed and followed her after paying the bill.
