Hey Everyone,

Thank you for your lovely lovely comments. I hope you enjoy this part! 😊

Chapter 29

'Where did she go? What happened? Oh my God!' Angad stared into space stunned. This could not be happening. This could so not be happening. She was looking sad today but he had thought that it was because they were going for Mumbai. But it was the other way round! He couldn't lose her. 'I'm coming home right away Mom! I'm going to be there!'

Naina smiled. Everything was going according to plan. She made her voice sad, 'But Angad, what about your work in Mumbai? What about Kunal?'

Kripa frowned. What was she going to do for two weeks? She hadn't even brought any books to read. There was nothing near the farmhouse. Everything was at least an hour away. Oh well, she would just go sit in the garden.

'Papa, where did Mama go?' asked Kunal with a small sniffle.

Angad looked at his son and didn't know what to say to him. 'I don't know Kunal. But she'll be back soon. I promise you that. Maybe she has just gone for a break.' A tear slid Angad's cheek and Kunal felt sad for what had happened.

'Yeah, don't worry Papa, she'll be back.' With that, they drove silently to Nainital.

A few hours later, they were there and Angad ran inside the house to see his mother. 'Mom, where is Kripa? What happened?' Angad saw his mother bend her head down trying to hide her tears.

'Angad, I have no idea. When I came back, she was not there. I called the hospital to find out if she was there but there was no such luck. They told me.. they told me..' Naina started crying even more. Angad was scared. What had happened to Kripa?

'What did they tell you Mom?' he almost screamed.

'They told me that she had decided to leave the hospital and they wouldn't tell me where she had gone. I don't know what to do Angad!' Naina said trying to hide her smile.

'Mom, don't worry, we'll find her. She'll be alright.' Angad also tried to comfort himself. She probably went for a small break. She would be back.

'Papa, have you tried Mama's cell phone?' Kunal asked suddenly.

Naina looked up with a start. She had totally forgotten about Kripa's phone! They would call her now and her plan would go down the drain. She had no other choice but to see Angad dialing her number quickly. A few seconds later, they heard the phone ring in Angad's room.

Angad went to his room, stared at the phone and burst into tears. She did not want to be found. He would find her, by hook or by crook.

*****

A week went by, but there was no sign of Kripa. Kunal was miserable. Angad had taken to drinking and only slept when he had passed out from exhaustion. Naina didn't like the way things were going. Her fool of a son wasn't supposed to be passed out! He was supposed to be out looking for Kripa! She couldn't believe that she was causing her family such pain. She was about to go to Angad and shake him awake when the phone rang.

Naina got annoyed and picked it up and screamed, 'Hello!'

Josh did a double-take. What had happened to his sweet mother-in-law? 'Namaste Mom, this is Josh.'

Naina sighed, 'Namaste, how are you?' They chatted for a while when Naina suddenly exclaimed, 'Angad is such an idiot! Instead of looking for Kripa, he is passed out drunk.'

'But Kripa is at the farmhouse, Mom. Why is he supposed to be looking for her?' Naina explained her plan to Josh while he gave a whoop. 'Don't worry Mom, I know how to make this work. Tell Angad that I will come and pick him up later, just to hang out.'

Naina went to Angad's room with a bucket of water and drenched him with it. Angad woke up with a start and shrieked 'Kripa'. Naina said, 'Get ready, Josh is coming to pick you up. Stop behaving like Devdas and just look for your Paro OK!'

Angad mumbled something and got ready. When Josh came, he was ready. 'Hey,' he grumbled.

Josh smiled but hid his face, 'Hey yourself. I heard about Kripa man. I'm sorry about that. But stop drinking like a fool and look for her.'

'I am so done with this. I need to get away from here for a while, Josh! Can I have the key to the farmhouse?' Angad said suddenly.

Josh grinned. Everything was done and he didn't have to do a single thing. This was life!

finally naina's plan is working and angad and kripa should unite soon!

Chapter 30

It was late night and Kripa finally finished watching Home Alone. There was a movie collection in the living room she had not noticed before. She had laughed so hard that tears were rolling down her face while watching the movie. She had to try all the tricks someday. The tricks were too good in this movie.

Kripa heard a car when she switched the TV off and frowned. The farmhouse was in a secluded area. Only people who came to the farmhouse used that lane and she knew for a fact that nobody was supposed to be here. She heard the car stop and freaked out. There was a thief here! The thief probably thought that there was nobody here and came here for an easy loot! She didn't hear any door open yet and she knew what she had to do. She was not going to let the thief steal anything. Hmmm, she had to use the Home Alone ideas, right?

Kripa went downstairs and found a small bucket. She filled it with water. She opened the door slightly, stood on a stool and put the water bucket on it. That was round one. It was time for round two. She grabbed a fan and put it behind a stool. She went to the kitchen quickly and dumped some flour on the plate and placed it on the stool. Hahaha, she laughed evilly. Then she reprimanded herself to hurry up. The thief would be in any time!

Round three was very simple. She found some marbles and put them on the floor some distance from the door. She also found some chocolate syrup in the kitchen. She poured it in another plate and left it near the stairs. She quickly went upstairs where she had seen a baseball bat and brought it downstairs. She wished she had some more time to lay more traps but she heard the car door open. Let the fun begin, she grinned.

Kripa saw the door open and smiled. She heard the splash of water and a shriek. She switched on the fan and all the flour flew towards the thief. She heard the thief scream even more and tried not to laugh. She watched him walk towards the stairs when he let out another scream because he lost his balance, thanks to the marbles. His face landed in the chocolate syrup. By this time, Kripa was laughing so hard that her sides ached.

She took her baseball bat and walked towards the thief. She started hitting the thief with it. 'You moron! You think you will come here and steal and nobody will say a thing? Hahaha, think again. Nobody, and I mean nobody messes with me.' She said all this in between hitting the thief. She saw that the thief had passed out and grinned evilly. She went to get some rope she had put on the stool when a hand grabbed her foot.

Kripa screamed. This was not good! The thief turned and pulled her on the floor and turned again so that Kripa was under the thief. She screamed loudly until he put his hand on her mouth. OK Kripa, think. What are self defense classes for? She thought. Her hands were blocked. Those were the most important things for self defense! She flipped her mental files until she thought of something. She jerked upwards and sideways. Nothing happened. I have done this so many times in self defense class, why is it not working now? She tried this several times when she finally gave up. She finally looked in the thief's eyes and wondered why the thief didn't say anything. And why was he looking at her like that?

Angad, help me, she thought. The thief removed his hand from her mouth and tried to lower his mouth down to hers. She jerked her head sideways! I am going to be raped, Angad help me! She tried squirming but nothing happened. She tried pleading with the thief, 'Please don't do anything to me. You can't do anything to me. Look, I'm sorry I did all this. But how could I let you steal anything? Please leave me.'

'Why?' the thief asked. The voice sounded familiar to Kripa but she didn't think much about it.

'Why? Because I have a child. I am married. Because I love my husband a lot! Please let me go!' Kripa started crying.

The thief wiped her tears with his floury hands. He said huskily, 'Kripa.' She stopped sniffling and turned her face to his. She shrieked, 'Angad! Oh my God, you scared me. Are you silly?' She burst into tears again hugging her husband tightly. Angad pressed his cheek to hers forgetting the chocolate syrup on his face.

He rolled again so that she was above him. 'Don't cry Kripa. Why did you leave me again Kripa? Why do you always do this?' he asked a tear escaping his eye.

She frowned. 'I didn't leave you. Who told you that? Mama said that I needed a break and she suggested I go somewhere and I came over here.' Angad looked at her stunned. Then he started laughing. Kripa didn't see what was so funny so she just kept on looking at him.

He sobered quickly. 'Mom told me that you had left, never to return. I drove back to Nainital the same day. I was going mad without you Kripa. I was going crazy.' He looked at her and said, 'I love you Kripa.'

She whispered, 'I love you too, Angad. I love you very much!'

He got up and carried her upstairs. She looked at his face and started giggling, 'You look cute in chocolate syrup, Khanna.'

He rubbed his face against hers, 'I do, don't !? Now, so do you sweetheart.'

He took her to the shower and closed the door behind him.

Epilogue

'So this is the story of Mama Papa.' Kunal said. He felt Kiran's arms slide up his chest from behind.

'Aw, I love their story! Tell me the story again tomorrow! And bhaiya, why is Kiran aunty holding you like that?' an inquisitive ten-year old Sur asked.

Kiran jerked back. She loved hearing her to-be-in-laws love story. She completely forgot about Sur and Taal. She saw Kunal grin and her heart did a flip-flop in her chest. He had grown from a cute little boy to a twenty-two year old handsome young man. She still remembered the day that they had declared their love for each other. They had been best friends for so long that Kiran had been surprised when Kunal had finally told her that he loved her. He had been in love with her for so long that she even told him the truth. She had always loved him.

'Just like that, my little angel. You know she is going to be your bhabhi, right? So she was just hugging me. Just like Mama hugs Papa.' Kunal said smiling mischievously at Kiran who was blushing.

'Stop bugging Kiran, Kunal!' Kripa said from the doorway. Kiran ran to Kripa and hugged her tight. 'Mama, look at Kunal. He has been doing this for the entire weekend.'

Sur and Taal ran to Kripa and hugged her tight. Kunal pouted, 'what about me, Mama?'

Kripa opened her arms wide, 'come here my little baby.' Kunal laughed and hugged his mother. Angad leaned against the doorway. 'Mama's here and everybody forgets Papa, right? Fine, I just won't give anyone any presents.'

Everybody just laughed. He hugged Kripa from behind and this was their perfect family.

Josh and Aaliya came from the doorway and smiled. 'Hi guys! How was your weekend?'

'Masi, Masa!' Sur and Taal left their parents and ran to them. 'We missed you! Where is Sana?' they said in unison. 'When are Nani and Dadi coming now? We miss them!'

'They'll be here soon!' They all laughed and went to the living room. 'Mama, Sur and Taal have prepared a special something for you!'

With that, Taal started singing whereas Sur started dancing. They sang and danced together in such perfection, that it brought tears in everyone's eyes.

'We didn't name you correctly, Sur and Taal. Sur should have been Taal and Taal should have been Sur. Sur dances so well and Taal sings so well. Shouldn't it be the other way round?' They smiled proudly at their identical twins.
