Part-20
A: You know what is other strange and funny thing….I could not tell you that I loved u too….the moment u were before me…after 8 years…I fell in love with u…..but I was in delima and struggling in between love for you and my family…………..And my family had won…and you went away……….What kind of friends are we…we can't even express our felings to each other….I was so blind…that I could not even see ur love for me, before…….Kripa looked at him with tears in her eyes…How she had hoped that one day he would tell her that he loved her…..and he is telling this now…when he was married to some one else……..
K: I know Angad….I understand….Thats the reason I respect u more…your love for ur family….proved how much u care…..We will be friends for ever…….But the love we feel for each other…has to be buried deep inside and we need to start our life in a new direction….
A: Oh….can you do that…..i mean burry your love and start over….
K: Yeah I can….Kripa told him slowly…
A: Then prove it…Prove it by marrying Josh…because I know that josh loves U….I saw the way he looked at u with love and the way he was protective of u…concerned for u….so prove it……Then I will also bury my love and be happy with Mishti….
Stunned Kripa looked…..at him
K: That's not possible Angad….That's not possible…
Flight announcement….Passangers going in flight no 147….to Delhi… please come to gate no 3….We are ready for boarding…Thank you…
Kripa gets up…takes her carry on bag…and her diary in the other…
K: Good Bye Angad…and she starts walking….
A: Why did u tell no…Kripa…? When she just stood there for a sec with out replying…he continued…..Because u love me a lot….u love me so much…that u will stay alone with my memories….Because…no one can take my place …right Kripa….Kripa still does not tell any thing…and starts walking……Angad continues….Then ok…..U take me in place of those memories which u have buried in your heart…..marry me….love of ur life……because I love u too….
Suddenly Kripa turned back…wide eyed…as if he has gone mad…..
K: You can't talk to me this way Angad…..
A: And why not….?
K: Because u are married….
A: No I am not….he said in a small voice…
K: What do u mean…u are not?
A: It means I am not…..
K: But I saw..i saw...her filling her maang….she had mangalsutra…. …..She …….I mean Mishti…. you both were together many times…I saw u both together…u were both happy…..
A: Yeah..she is married…but not to me….and she is very much happy……with him…..and she is happy with our friendship…..
Kripa…stunned looked at him….
K: Then who?
A: She is married to Kartik…..Kripa could not belive her ears…..
K: But she loved u…..? How could she marry him….?
A: No…she was never in love with any one…..Not Kartik not me…
K: Then?
A: I did not marry her…couldn't marry her…I called off the wedding and she was ok with it….because she was getting married to me…because daamini aunty had told her that she can open the bontique she dreamed about…only after she gets married to me…and then she had no choice….but she respected me and accepted me…but never loved me…..She was releaved to call of the wedding…she told her mom….she will do it on her own and doesn't need the money from her….She and Kartik fell in love with each other later when Kartik helped her set her own bontique, by trying to get her the loan..from the bank..….They got married a month back and then we all came here….Kartik and Mishti decided to go to honey moon later…and go for family get together now…as Aliyah has holidays……only prithvi could not come……..at last moment…She wanted to see our old house and where we grew up…That's why we are here….Most of all…I wanted to meet u….tell u whats in my heart…..But u had already left the hostel…when I reached Nainital….
K: If u did not marry her…then why did u not come to Nainital straight away Angad? Why wait to tell me till now…….She said looking at him …..Her heart beat was increasing faster and faster….
A: I could not come Kripa…My dad was left in a lurch….The business was falling apart due to me….dad could have lost every thing.I could not do that..…I couldn't take a break of more than 2 hours daily…I was busy…re constructing Khanna enterprise with Kartik and Mishti's help….I tried to call u….atlest 3 times daily….I called ur college too…but you had told them not to give u phone unless its from ur Parents I guess….I tried to email u…but got no reply….What was I supposed to do….I was so exhausted by the end of the day…that I could not do any thing other than just sleep….And above all…dadi was ill…There was too much to do in too short time….
Kripa felt guilty….She had indeed throwed her sim card…never checked her mails….It was not his fault….He did so much for their love…For 6 months….he worked his tail off…to get his family back in good position……And he did all this just for her….He loved her too…….and she did not even talk to him……….
K: I am sorry Angad…I am really sorry….she said looking away…with tears in her eyes…She felt ashamed of her self for throwng him out of her life so completely……They were child hood friends…and she had not even kept in contact with him for the sake of their friendship…..
A: No sorry no thank u…That was the rule between us Kripa…Don't go Kripa….Be my love…Marry me…Have my kids….I promise I will never stop loving u….
Kripa open mouthed just looked at him…..Angad's eyes filled with tears…
A: I love u Kripa…only u….and no one can take ur place…not now…not ever……you are my life…my love…and I want to spend my whole life…with u… only u …Once u told me…that Mishti is my sould mate…..But u were wrong Kripa….My soul…..my heart has recognized its mate…and its u….no one can take that place Kripa…no one…..….Please don't go…….
Kripa had tears too in her eyes…she dropped her bag..and ran to Angad……and hugged him…she closed her eyes…feeling Angad's strong arms around her….She felt like she was home atlast…where she would stay for ever and ever….Angad hugged her tightly…his hands moving all over her back….he kept kissing her ears her neck…and then looked at her and again hugged her….
K: I love you Angad…I love u very much…..I can't live without u………
A: I love u too kripa…….You still did not answer my question Kripa…He said while he buried his head in her neck……..
K: What was the question….She said forgetting where she was…her eyes still closed….Her body just feeling the strong arms around her………
A: Will you marry me and have my kids and live happily ever after….?
K: Opening her eyes…took a step back…their both hands linked together…..I will have to think about it…she said with watery smile…
A: Wide eyed looked at her….What do u mean u will have to think?.with mock surprise….
K: Well…it means I will have to think….
A: Ok you have min…
K: ok…
A: Your min is over…So…whats your answer….
K: Yes yes yes…..I will marry you and have ur kids…..But but…there is a condition…
A: You can't put a condition here….he said with a frown….
K: And why not? She raised her eyebrows and looked at him…Angad looked deep in her eyes…He lifted his hands to her cheek…which still were wet….He wiped her cheeks…and moved his hands to her lips..and moved a thumb over them…
A: Well….because…because…you love me…I love u…and ther is no condition in love….
K: Well I have one…take it…or I am leaving ….she wishpered…His hands on her face were making her breathless………She suddenly turned around and started walking……She could not take the heat he was generating…
A: Oh ok…you win…happy…he held her wrist…to stop her …
K: Very…she said, turning around and smiling sweetly at him…
A: You have to get ur way always right……
K: Yeah …you know me so well…you have not forgotten that….
A: Well I did not…now tell me ur condition…….They looked at each other….their eyes met and held each other so intensely that they could see nothing except the other…World vanished behind them…Well I am waiting…Angad said slowly…..His thumb was moving near her ear..tuging her hairs behind them…..
K: What's your hurry? Kripa wishpered..
A: Kripa…………..he whispered back..
K: Oh ok….ok…I will tell u….You…you…
A: I
K: You need to fulfil your dream….before we fulfil our dream…
Angad looked confused at her….
A: What dream Kripa….?
K: Seriously looked at him now….of being a rock star one day…
Smile touched Angad's lips….
A: As you wish…and he went near her and hugged her once again....I love u Kripa….Don't talk about leaving me ever….I can't live with out u…..
K: I love u too Angad…I want u to fulfil all ur dreams….just like me..Today…my dream is atlast a reality and I want the same for u too…
A: Even my dream is spending my life with u Kripa……..nothing else matters……….nothing……..
And he buried deeper in her hairs….smelling of roses and some thing else……….
Are u two done..…some once voice came from distance……….They came out of their trance and looked behind….Kartik and Josh were standing there with there arms foled looking at them………
J: Well what do u say…shall we forgive them for not telling us about their love?
Ka; I am thinking….You were Kripa's friend….and I was this idots brother……but stll they never confessed their love….We need to ask them for the explanation first………..
J: Na…its ok………Lets forgive them….Atleast one thing is proved…
Ka: And whats that…
J: That we are good detectives….and it's good you bought your brother here………….
Ka: Yeah well….you have a job in your agency?…I will take it…
J: No…you are not that good…..You are good in your business…you stay there……..
KA: Whatever…
Angad and Kripa looked at them………..
A: Coming forwards…what do u mean…you are good detectives….?
Ka: Long story….
A: Well we are waiting……..we have whole day here…..
Ka: Well…Josh tried to ask Kripa and Harshini about u….I mean about the love of her life…but did not get any info…So he contacted his home to his mom and dad and the their driver told them about Kripa and Khanna house….Then josh called and I picked it…He asked me…if I knew anyone…whom Kripa loved….I told I don't….He gave me his contact and told to contact me if I get any thing……...but then I remembered how…you both looked at each other…One day I searched your room and Got Kripa's diary and then I accessed your account and checked ur mails…I read some mails which u sent to Kripa…after she left……Then I came to know about ur love stories etc….Sorry Kripa…Angad…I had to read them…to know your story…he said looking at Kripa…..as both of u failed to do that ur self….So I contacted Josh and he told me about this camping trip...Our business was thriving…so I made a plan with Mishti…and here we are…………Though she did not know about u both till today morning…..
Wide eyed Angad and Kripa looked at kartik and then at josh….
