Angad?s apartment;
Angad was into racing and it was his passion thought he did have a lung disease it never stopped him. They entered his workshop which was in his garage
Kripa: oh wow tht red convertible is a real beauty,
Angad: oh YES !! I?m taking it to racing this Friday and I think we both would be glad to see you cheering for us, would you come,
Kripa: well if I come will you win,
Angad : if you come, I?ve already won!!
Kripa couldn?t resist his charms?.they had the most memorable moment of their lives and he made Kripa laugh and made her forget about everything even with her disease.
Angad: my parents have lived here for their entire lives and my dad brought my mom here on their wedding day.
Dilip: hey we were expecting you. Welcome !!! welcome !!! ladies they have arrived!!
Angad had 2 sisters Mishty and Aaliyaa his mother and them came along down through the stairs.
Naina(mother): Oh wel!! Let me take a good look at you!! (holding her two hands).
Ummmm Angad you weren?t lying she is indeed very beautiful.
Kripa instantly blushed and seeing her even Angad was happy.
Kripa: Naina Aunty sumthing smells real good!!!
Naina : that would be my menu for today, come lets enjoy dinner.
The conversation flowed like water everyone was comfortable and kripa was the happiest and never felt such warmth in one family..
Mishty: Bhaiya are you racing on Friday?
Anagad: ofcourse darling sis and you have to come, I?ve invited Kripa too.
Naina : what you are racing!!!
Angad: oh ma please don?t start now!!
Naina: why shudn?t I. you know those fumes aren?t good for you. They can damage your health.
Angad: Oh ma! We have guests over and I don?t think we should argue now.
Naina: oh tehn when can I ? when your in hospital?
Dilip: oh leave the boy alone dear.
Naina : you don?t approve of this either then why to pretend ?
Angad: I?m leaving (pushing his plate behind in anger)
Kripa: Ummm thanks for a nice dinner. It was delicious.
Dilip. And thank you for comming. Sorry it got deteriorated.
Naina: yes you?re a lovely girl, now you try to talk some sense into angad please.
Kripa moved towards the exit of the house and she saw Angad walking so far away.
She called out: Wait Angad!!!!
Angad stopped that minute.
Kripa: what do you think your doing? You were going to leave me there weren?t you?
Angad: ?m sorry. I just go nuts when they start on my racing like that.
Kripa: well they have a point, you know, youhave a disease that seriously affescts your breathing.
He grabbed her shoulders and his eyes fierce with determination: but this is MY life! It belongs to me, Angad Khanna , you of all the people should understand that.
And suddenly, she did understand it. Racing cars was something he could control and his disease was something he couldn?t. tears filled her eyes.
Angad pulled her to him, crushing her against his chest. He put his finger beneath her chin. Their lips met and he kissed her longingly,
Angad: I?m sorry Kripa . Please give me another chance.
