thanks guys 😊 enjoy the karva chauth with AK 😊
[SIZE=7>PART 22: The next morning, Kripa woke up with a better attitude. She had decided to put aside any thoughts about separating from Angad on the back burner for now. She was excited about her first "karva chauth"
She decided to take the day off from her prep work for her boutique. She was trying to choose her saree and jewelery for the evening puja and karva chauth tradition. She was pleased that Prithvi had already left, after he received an urgent call from Kartik in the morning. She did not bother to remind him about being home early that evening.
She heard a gentle knock on her door. She wondered who it could be, as Prithvi was out and Angad should have left for work.
She opened the door and saw the servant, "didi…aapkey liye yeh package kisi ney bheja hai…."
"Kahan sey aaya?"
"Pata nahin….courier wala dey gaya hai…."
Kripa was curious, "thanks," she shut her door.
There was a beautiful red mysore silk saree with beautiful handiwork on it, "kiss ney bheji hai yeh? Papa ney? Par unhey tho yaad bhi nahin hoga ki aaj karva chauth hai…..I hope Prithvi ney nahin bheji ho…." She shuddered at the thought of receiving something from Prithvi.
She saw a hand written note in the saree fold, "mujhey shaayari tho nahin aati, par itna zaroor jaanta hoon ki is saree ki shobha sirf meri Kripa hi badhaa sakthi hai….aaj shaam ko tumhara aashiq tumhey is saree mein dekhne ko betaab rahega…"
Kripa blushed after reading the note and caressed the saree against her cheeks, "Tumhari Kripa sirf tumharey liye hi tayyar hogi aaj shaam, Angad…."
Song in background, as Kripa gets ready for her "sajna"
"sajna hai mujhe" from "saudagar"
http://www.dishant.com/lyrics/song-17732.html Sajna hai mujhe, sajna ke liye
Jara uljhi latein sanwaar loon
Har ang ka rang nikhaar loon ..... Sajna hai mujhe ......
Paani pade tan pe to shola nikle
Jaane kaisi agan mein badan jale, din bhar ki thakan utaar loon
Har ang ka rang nikhaar loon, sajna hai mujhe ......
Ang ang dholoon jara mal mal ke
Phool si mahek uthoon main khilke
Titali se pankh udhaar loon
Har ang ka rang nikhaar loon, sajna hai mujhe ......
Sajdhaj ke mein jara banthan ke
Baan chalaongi mein nainan ke
Aaina jara nihaar loon, khud apni nazar utaar loon
Main to saj gai re sajna ke liye
Main to saj gai re sajna ke liye.
EVENING: Kripa had fasted all day without touching any food or drink. She was in great spirits, although she was not used to fasting for so long. She helped the servant cook a big meal for the evening. She made sure, Angad's favorite dishes were all cooked. She made his favorite "kheer" herself, without letting the servant even touch it!
Kripa finished her prayers and went upstairs to the terrace, to look at the moon. There was no one there. She placed her puja thali with the cup of water and the sieve in her hands and waited patiently for her 'chaand"
Dilip came upstairs, "beti…Prithvi ka phone hai…..wo traffic mein phansa hai…wo keh raha tha tum chand ki puja tho shuroo kar lena par tumhara vrat wo aakar thodega…"
Kripa obeyed, "ji papa…." She saw the moon rise and she offered her prayers to the moon god and then looked through the sieve. As she held it high, Angad appeared on the terrace. She turned around and caught his image in the sieve and closed her eyes. Angad smiled at her and gave her an appreciative look for wearing his gift. She opened her eyes, but suddenly her eyes started rolling, and before one could realize, she was falling on the ground.
Dilip shouted, 'Arre…KRIPA!"
Angad ran to her rescue, and before she could touch the ground, she was in his arms.
"Chachaji lagta hai bhookh-pyaas sey behosh ho gayi…..aadat nahin hai na abhi…"
Dilip saw the cup of water on her puja thali, "beta…yeh pilaa do kam se kam pyaas tho bhujegi…."
Angad took the cup from Dilip and poured the water gently into her mouth. She moved a little and tried to open her eyes.
"Chachaji…main issey neeche bedroom mein ley jaata hoon….zara Hariram ko kehna kuch khaney ko bhej de…."
"Theek hai..main abhi bhejtha hoon…"
As angad carried Kripa downstairs in his arms, he saw her open her eyes with a mischievous look, "abhi pyaas nahi bujhi hai….," and she pretended that she had fainted again.
Angad figured out her game plan, but decided to play on…"Kripa….chinta mat karo. Main tumhari bhookh aur pyaas dono ka intezaam kar doonga….," he planted a quick kiss on her lips before they entered her room.
He lay her down on her bed and waited for her to "become conscious"
Hariram brought in a plate full of food. Kripa opened her eyes but kept moaning, "mujhey bahut chakkar aa rahey hain…"
Dilip got worried, "beta iska blood sugar low hoga….issey khana khila do..'
Angad took a piece of the poori and aaloo sabzi and held it in front of her mouth. She did not make any effort to take it herself. Angad was then "forced" to feed it with his hands. Dilip had gone outside to answer a phone call. Kripa took advantage of Dilip's absence and bit into Angad's fingers as he fed her.
'KRIPA! Kya kar rahi ho….kabhi sapney mein bhi nahin socha tha ki tum yeh sab kar sakti ho…." Angad whispered with clenched teeth.
"Angad…tumharey liye main kuch bhi kar sakti hoon.." she winked at him and then pretended she was passing out again, as she saw Dilip enter the room.
"Prithvi ka phone tha….raaste mein koyi accident ho gaya hai…..abhi aur time lagega…chalo hum sab bhi khaa lete hain….waise Angad beta tumhara pait kaisa hai?"
"Oh Wo?…..Pehle se better hai…"
"Tho chalo tum bhi khaa lo…..aaj tumhara bhi fast ho gaya pait ke chakkar mein…." Dilip went downstairs.
Kripa opened her eyes and sat up, "Angad…tumney bhi fast kiya hai?"
Angad smiled, "kya yeh haq sirf tumhara hai? Jab tum mere liye yeh kar sakti ho, tho main kyon nahin…." He kissed her nose and then her forehead.
Kripa's eyes were moist from happiness. She took a spoonful of the kheer and fed it to him, "yeh tumhari favorite kheer hai…"
Angad savored the kheer and in no time had polished off most of the food from Kripa's plate also, but intermittently kept feeding her with his hands. He then took out a box and gave it to Kripa.
"hamare ghar ki parampara hai…pehli karva chauth ko hum apni patni ko kuch dete hain…"
She opened the box and saw 2 beautiful gold 'kadhaas" She wanted to hug Angad but was aware that Prithvi would be there any moment, "achcha apney haathon se pehnaa do…"
Angad took her soft hands in his hands and slipped the bracelets effortlessly into both her wrists. She looked at them and kissed her wrists, "ab yeh hamesha yahin rahengey…..mujhey aisa lagega ki tum hamesha mere saath hi ho…"
"KRIPA! KAHAN HO TUM?" It was Prithvi. He entered the room and saw Kripa lying on the bed. Kripa had resumed her feigning act again, as soon as she heard his voice.
"Oh Kripa ko kya hua?" Prithvi asked
"Kuch nahin Prithvi…bas thodi low sugar ho gayi thi….waise khana kha liya hai….ussey aaram ki zaroorat hai…chalo hum neeche chaltey hain…" Angad put his arm around Prithvi and walked with him downstairs. Somehow, tonight Angad felt very possessive about Kripa-he did not want her legally wedded husband to be near her or touch her in any form-he felt she belonged to him, and he was her rightful husband, rather than Prithvi!
