"Angad that's fabulous"
Angad lies on his bed and grins to himself as his nani exclaims how happy she is that Angad finally won Kripa over, she inquires about the details and he happily divulges in telling her everything, she congratulates him and inquires if he's told Dilip and Kareena to which he tells her that he had called them earlier and they had also expressed their happiness like Nani is now.
"You should ask her to marry you!" Nani tells him
Angad chuckles and sits up
"Nani, I've only just got back together with her, I don't want to ruin it by rushing things and asking her to marry me, and besides she won't want to get married yet, she has her younger brother to take care of, she wants him to finish his studies and will want him to settle down before she thinks of settling down herself, so don't go planning the wedding just yet" Angad explains to her. He looks to his left and reaches out for his mother's photograph, he touches her face with his thumb and sighs
"I wish mom was here, she would have loved Kripa"
He hears Nani sniff and apologises for making her cry, they share some more small talk where Angad informs her of his promotion, she congratulates him and Angad hangs up. He lies back on the bed still holding his mom's picture in his hand, he closes his eyes and lets the photograph rest on his chest, he smiles to himself thinking of Naina and can almost see himself at around 6 years old running around the house in nothing but his underwear with his mom hot on his heels…

"Angad stop being naughty and come and have a bath" Naina yells as Angad runs up the stairs
"But I don't want one" Angad moans as his mother finally gets hold of him, he tries to fight her but she picks him up and takes him to the bathroom and makes him have a bath. She dries him with a towel and begins helping him with his clothes
"Why do you always be so naughty for? Are you always going to moan about having a bath?"
Angad smiles and hugs his mom
"If you're going to pick me up and give me a bath then change me yourself then yes I'll always moan about having a bath" He replies ever so sweetly
She looks at him and kisses his cheek and pulls him towards her hugging him.

Angad's trip down memory lane is interrupted when he hears the phone ringing, he puts the photo back and picks up the phone, he looks at the caller ID and sees Kripa's name flashing, he grins and answers while lying once again across his bed.
"Hey you, what you doing?" Kripa asks sweetly
"Nothing, just lying down, why?" He replies with the same tone
"Because I'm bored, lets do something?"
"Movie?" He asks as he rolls over to lie on his front
"No, something else" Kripa replies
"OK, how about dinner?"

Kripa happily accepts, they arrange a time and Kripa leaves it up to Angad to decide which restaurant they will go to, he hangs up and gets up from his bed and goes on to his laptop, he searches for restaurants nearby and decides to go with the West 12 Restaurant at the Marriott Hotel, he glances at the clock and realises there's plenty of time left before the dinner so he gets his folder from his bag and takes it to his bed, since he was promoted he now has the task of selecting the next trainee accountant, which isn't an easy job, he is required to do a background check on all of the applicants, then prepare a test which they all need to take in order to determine how well their accounting abilities are and then finally take their interviews.

He sits with the folder on his lap, he opens the folder and scans through the resume of the first applicant, he checks the references and dials the number given, he speaks with the applicant's previous employer and jots down notes, he hangs up and highlights points to discuss with the applicant, he does this with all the applicants. When he's finished with the calls he begins searching through his previous files for a suitable set of accounts which he can edit to make it into a test appropriate for the applicants. After an hour of cut and paste in Word, he finishes the question, he emails it to his boss for approval then begins working on the questions to ask for the interview, whilst typing up the questions, he receives an email from his boss approving the test, he continues with the interview questions and finally sends them to his boss again for approval, his boss sends the document back highlighting Angad's mistakes and adding a few of his own questions, Angad tidies up the file and prints out 20 hard copies ready for the long process of interviews the next week.

Kripa is more or less doing the same thing, at first she had taken a shower then indulged into work. Currently she is watching a video tape of a man being interviewed by the police, she takes down notes about the man's body language, how he reacts to certain questions and the answers to the questions asked. She takes the tape out and begins reading through the statement given by her client, a woman who claims she witnessed the man commit murder, but although the man pleads innocence, Kripa continues to study the case thoroughly to ensure that if, for any reason, he is guilty then he should be punished.

She picks up her phone and calls her boss, the lawyer who would be presenting the case, she arranges to meet him the next day before the trial starts and go over the details of the case with him, its what she always did, do the research then relay it to her boss. She likes her job but, like Angad, even she is waiting on a promotion, Angad got his promotion and she wonders when she will receive hers, it'll only be when she gets promoted to lawyer then after a few years she will be able either join a bigger firm or start her own firm. She looks down at her research and prays that this be the case which gets her the promotion she deserves. She puts the file away and looks at the clock, there are still 3 hours left until Angad comes to pick her up, she decides, even though she already had a shower, to take a long bath, she hadn't done that in a while, she goes to her room and picks up her bathrobe and disappears into the bathroom. Half an hour she comes out and disappears in to her room to get ready, she opens her cupboard and ponders over which dress to wear, she takes out a few and holds them against her body while looking in the mirror, she takes out a sequinned blue dress and smiles at herself in the mirror, she puts the other dresses away and begins to get changed.

****************************

The clock strikes 8pm and Angad gets out of his car, he did take a while getting changed, like Kripa, he couldn't decide what to wear but after a inner battle with himself he decided to wear his designer faded navy jeans, a blue shirt and a black jacket. He rings the doorbell and Kripa opens the door, he looks at her and skips a breath, he breathes deeply and grins cheekily.
"How about we skip dinner and go straight to desert?"
Kripa shakes her head and picks her cardigan up and slips in to it, Angad puts his hand out, she locks her front door then takes his hand and follows him to his car.
"So where are we going?" Kripa asks as she fastens her seatbelt
"You'll see" Angad replies as he starts the car
Kripa keeps quiet about where they're going, they share small talk and Angad informs her that he'd called his nani, his dad and Kareena and told them the good news. She smiles and inquires about Dilip and Kareena, he lets her know that things are good between them, she smiles and nods her head.

After a while Angad arrives at the Marriott Hotel, Kripa looks in awe as Angad leads her inside, she shuffles closer to him and whispers in his ear
"How can you afford this?"
"I got promoted remember?" Angad reminds her, he leans closer and kisses her cheek, she links her arm through his as they go in to the restaurant, Kripa is again in awe, the place looks beautiful, it has a red and gold theme with dim lighting around each wall, there are dinner tables for groups of peoples and booths for more private people. There are all sorts of people there, families with their children, teenagers celebrating birthdays and others having private dinners like them, she notices a live band playing instrumentals for the guests pleasure. She waits as Angad informs the receptionist of his reservation, she politely nods and asks for their jackets, Kripa hands over her cardigan but Angad prefers to keep his jacket, she takes the cardigan and ushers Angad and Kripa over to the waitress who will be serving them then she walks off. The waitress hands them both menus and takes them to their table, they sit down and the waitress tells them to call her over once they've finished deciding what to eat.

Kripa bites her bottom lip and looks at Angad
"This place is amazing" She says as she looks around the room again
"Yeah it is" Angad replies as he looks around as well, he looks at the menu
"See anything you like?"
Kripa looks at the menu then at the prices, she exclaims at how expensive the food is but Angad assures her that he has the money to pay and to not be shy about what she wants. After a few minutes of reading the menu they both order their food and Angad orders a bottle of red wine, the waitress goes away with their order leaving them waiting. Angad reaches out and takes Kripa's hand in his

"You look beautiful tonight, actually more than beautiful, I'm not sure there's a word for how you look tonight"
Kripa blushes at his words and tells him to keep his voice down, Angad chuckles
"So, let them hear, I want the whole world to know that I'm with the most beautifullest woman in the world"
"There's no such word as beautifullest" Kripa giggles
"Well there should be" Angad chuckles
He compliments her again and Kripa blushes even more, he rolls his tongue in his mouth and tells her how she looks even more beautiful when she blushes which in turn makes her blush deeper. He smiles and sits back staring at her, she places her hands on the table and smiles at him
"Don't you find it funny that we're matching"
Angad looks at her dress then looks at himself and realises they're both wearing blue, he grins
"Well we do know each other so well"
Kripa agrees, she reaches out and takes his hand in hers causing him to lean forward, she compliments him which makes him grin more, he's about to say something when the waitress comes with the bottle of wine, she pours it in to two glasses then leaves the bottle on the table and goes away, Angad hands Kripa her glass and takes his.
"Are we going to toast again?" Kripa asks
"No, we don't have to, I just thought since we're here we should have wine"
She nods her head and sips the wine, he takes a sip too then puts the glass back down
"I wonder what's more red, the wine or your cheeks" Angad jokes
Kripa hits his hand lightly while smiling, Angad pretends to be hurt, Kripa holds his hand and kisses it, he grins and pretends the other hand is hurt, she kisses it too and he cheekily tells her that he's hurt his lips too, Kripa shakes her head and pushes his hands away, Angad chuckles but frowns as he feels his mobile vibrating in his pocket, he takes it out and sees his dad is calling.

"Its dad….should I answer?" Angad asks Kripa as he shows her the mobile ringing
"Yeah, it might be important" Kripa replies
Angad nods his head and answers the call, as he speaks to Dilip, the food arrives, Angad ushers for the waitress to put his plate down, after a while he hangs up and smiles widely at Kripa, she asks him why he's smiling which makes him smile again
"You won't believe this, but Kareena's pregnant"
Kripa almost spits out her food, she takes a sip of her wine and asks him if he's serious, Angad nods his head.
"Wow, are you ok with that? I mean you're like 25 and you're going to have a younger brother or sister"
"Yeah, but if they're happy then what can I do?" Angad replies imagining life with a younger brother or sister, Kripa snaps him out of his thoughts and reminds him his food is there, they both continue to eat while discussing whether its better for Angad to have a younger brother or a younger sister.

"Won't it be weird? I mean if later on you have any kids then they'll almost be the same age as your brother or sister" Kripa states
"Yeah but then at least my kids will be close to my brother or sister, and by later on when I have kids...what are you trying to say?" Angad asks cheekily
"Nothing!" Kripa replies while hitting him softly again, they keep eating until Kripa suddenly stops, Angad puts his fork down and looks confused.
"Kripa what happened?" He asks, when Kripa doesn't reply, he shaker she slowly, she comes back to senses and hastily taps his hand
"Look over there"
Angad turns and looks around the room but doesn't see what Kripa wants him to see, she hits his hand and points at a few tables away from them where two men are sitting.
"Don't you know who that is?" Kripa asks him as he strains to see who it is, he shakes his head and Kripa huffs
"It's Shaan! The famous Hindi singer!" Kripa exclaims

Angad moves his head to the right and finally sees him, he shrugs his shoulders not seeing the big deal, Kripa frowns and hits Angad again
"He's my favourite singer!"
"Oh, I see, you want his autograph?" Angad asks sweetly
Kripa nods her head frantically, Angad smiles and gets up
"I'll be right back"
Angad walks towards the table and politely asks Shaan for an autograph for Kripa, he happily obliges and signs the napkin for Angad, he takes it to Kripa who gets happy, she keeps staring at the napkin, Angad shakes his head then excuses himself telling her he's going to the bathroom, Kripa nods her head all the while still looking at the autograph, Angad sees her staring at the napkin and smiles, he walks back to Shaan's table and taps his shoulder, he bends down beside him and whispers in his ear.

"Hey Shaan, thanks for the autograph, but I was wondering if you could do me another favour?" Angad asks
"Sure what is it?" Shaan asks as he puts his glass down
"I know you're busy here with your friend" Angad smiles at the other guy "See the thing is, my girlfriend is a big fan of yours" Angad points Kripa out to Shaan who nods his head, Angad continues. "Well we've had lots of problems in our lives and only just got back together 2 days ago and I want to show her how much I love her"
Shaan looks confused wondering what is has to do with him
"See I was wondering if you could maybe sing a romantic song for us, if it's not too much trouble, I know she would really love it if you did"
Shaan looks sceptical, Angad offers to pay him but Shaan refuses and agrees to sing a song but wonders how he's supposed to sing in the restaurant as they're in the UK not India, if he'd been there it wouldn't have been a problem but since they're in the UK they may not be allowed, Angad assures him he'll talk to the manager, Shaan agrees and Angad thanks him and walks over to the receptionist, he tells her his plea, she picks up the phone and calls the manager, he comes and Angad relays whatever he told Shaan, the manager shakes his head rejecting the idea but Angad is persistent and manages to convince the manager, he smiles triumphantly and goes back to Shaan telling him the manager agreed and wants to speak to Shaan.

Shaan goes to the manager while Angad goes back to the table, Kripa looks at him angrily
"Where were you? What took you so long?" She asks
"Sorry, the line was long"
Kripa looks at him weirdly wondering whether he's telling the truth, she dismisses it and continues eating, Angad continues eating but keeps glancing over at the Shaan who is talking to the live band telling them the music to play, Angad grins to himself as he watches Shaan follow the band to the stage. Kripa sips her wine, she hears the managers voice but continues to eat her food.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to West 12, I hope you're enjoying your evening, without spoiling your evening I would just like to announce that one of the guests here is a very famous Hindi singer Shaan" The manager speaks
Kripa freezes upon hearing Shaan's name while Angad grins, the manager continues.
"Another one of our guests has requested that Mr Shaan sing a song for him and his girlfriend, so here's Shaan"
Kripa whips her head around and sees Shaan getting on stage, she smiles wondering who the lucky couple is, who Shaan will be singing for. Shaan thanks the manager and takes the microphone
"This song is dedicated to Miss Kripa Sharma from her boyfriend Mr Angad Khanna, Miss Kripa you are very lucky to have a guy like Angad in your life, who will do anything to show he loves you"

Kripa chokes on the air, she whips her head back around at Angad but he's not sitting in his chair, she sees him by her side, she looks at him as he holds out his hand requesting her to dance with him, Kripa looks at the guests staring at them and slowly places her hand in his, he leads her towards the live band and takes her by her waist as she puts her arms around his neck, she glances at Shaan who begins singing Kal Se Koi.

Kal se koi mere dil mein sama gayi (Since yesterday a girl is in my heart)
Kal se koi mere khwabon mein chaa gayi (Since yesterday a girl is in my dreams)
Kal se koi ban gayi zindagi (Since yesterday a girl has become my life)

Kahin voh tum tho nahin (Maybe the girl is you)
Kahin voh tum tho nahin
Kahin voh tum tho nahin
Kahin voh tum tho nahin

Kal se koi mere dil mein sama gayi
Kal se koi mere khwabon mein chaa gayi
Kal se koi ban gayi zindagi

Kal se koi ban gayi zindagi

Kahin voh tum tho nahin
Kahin voh tum tho nahin

Neend jo na mili mujhe voh mili gayi nahin (If I don't sleep then I won't get her)
Neend jo na mili mujhe voh mili gayi nahin
Uske chahat mein neend lekin aati bhi nahin (But I can't sleep in her love)
Jo raaton ko tanha beqaraar kar gayi (The one who makes me yearn at night)

Kahin voh tum tho nahin
Kahin voh tum tho nahin

Kal se koi mere dil mein sama gayi
Kal se koi mere khwabon mein chaa gayi
Kal se koi ban gayi zindagi

Kahin voh tum tho nahin
Kahin voh tum tho nahin

Ek pal mein badal gayi voh meri zindagi (She changed my life in one moment)
Ek pal mein badal gayi voh meri zindagi
Tha kahan hoon kidar mujhe yeh kabar thaq nahin (Where was I, where am I now, I don't know)
Jo sapnon ko sacha sach ko khwab kar gayi (The one who made my dreams a reality and made reality a dream)

Kahin voh tum tho nahin
Kahin voh tum tho nahin

Kal se koi mere dil mein sama gayi
Kal se koi mere khwabon mein chaa gayi
Kal se koi ban gayi zindagi

Kahin voh tum tho nahin
Kahin voh tum tho nahin
Kahin voh tum tho nahin
Kahin voh tum tho nahin

Kahin voh tum tho nahin
