After cleaning his room they went and walked by Lake…which was just little far from there house….They sat there and watched people go for boating…..
A: Want to go for boating…
K: Na…not today…I just want to sit here…
A: Ok……How about …we go for some climbing….
K: Vow sure….
A: Ok…then go home and put on your shoes and get some snacks…..and I will get some juice and water…etc….
Later they were on one of the mountain climbing…Angad was helping Kripa…climb…and they went for quite some time…They stopped at the point where they got the view of whole Nainital…It looked beautiful….They sat there and had some snacks and juice….And before it got dark climbed down….While coming down…Kripa was scratched by a thorn in her legs…when she jumped and twisted her leg…….
K: Aww….Angad…it hurts bad…
A: Kripa don't be a baby ok….Don't start crying…I will pick u up and take u home….Then he picked her and started towards there home…..
K: Angad …but we never told any one…we were going for climbing…If they will know they will get upset….Please don't tell any one,….please…
A: Kripa…..you always do this…I have to cover for u always….why can't we just tell and go…
K: Because they will not allow us…
A: But how do u know…you never even asked…….
K: Trust me…I know…..please…pretty please…
A: Oh…ok….You have to get ur way always…
K: Thank you…..and she hugged him tightly….
A: Kripa….leave me…I am suffocating…..you are hugging me too tight and I can't see any thing…..in front of me…
K; Oh sorry…..
Angad slowly took her to his house…no one was at home….so he took her to his room….kept her on the bed and bought a first aid box…and put a bandage on the scratch…..Kripa tried to get up to go to bathroom….But her leg was painful…Angad made her sit…bought some cream…asked her to relax…and started massaging her leg slowy….
K: Aww…Angad…slowly…..It's paining…
A: You are such a baby Kripa…..God help me….
K: I am not a baby……
A: Yes you are …a baby… baby… baby….
K; Angad……….I am not talking to u…
A: Ok….baba…sorry……You are not a baby…happy…
K: Yes very…..Angad massaged her leg for some time….and then bought a hot water bottle and applied…after some time…she was feeling little better…Angad asked her to stay the night….and she agreed….They had there dinner….with Khanna's…..then went to Angad's room with a bowl of ice cream…Aliyah too joined them….and they saw movies…till late night….Aliyah was asleep besides Kripa…on the same bed….Naina came and saw all three sleeping….She picked up Aliyah and made her sleep in her room…Then cleaned the mess in Angad's room and went away….
Next day Kripa was looking at the flowers…growing in their garden…She had planted them with the help of her mom just 4 weeks ago…They were pretty…….
Angad came from behind..
A:BHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
K: Putting a hand on her chest…jumped up and turned around…….Angad…….
Angad laughed out so loud that Kripa got angrier…….She ran behind him……to hit him…he was too fast for her…after a while tired she sat down on the chair in the garden….Angad came to her…..and she got up again…….and chased him…and atlast he let her catch him knowing she will not sit down till she atleast takes a revenge……She hit him 2-3 times….and then left him….
A: Hey…now we are eqal ok…so why are u still angry…….he came from behind and put a hand on her shoulder…..Kripa removed his hands and started walking….Angad went behind her…lifted her by waist from behind and started circling her round and round….
K: Kripa closed her eyes in fear…..awwww….Angad I will fall down……put me down……stupid…what are u doing….put me down…..
A: First tell me u are not angry….
K: Ok…ok…I am not angry…keep me down…I am scared….
A: Laughing Angad put her down…..
K: I hate u…..idot…stupid…monkey….and started walking…..and our trip is cancelled…I am not going any where with u….For bike riding….
A: Not fair Kripa……If you are not going….then…..he ran behind her….
Kripa ran but when Angad caught her in 3 strides….she gave up…
K: Ok..ok..I will go…But on one condition….
A: What?
K: That u will carry my bag with u….while we go …today all the way….
A: sighing…ok….as u wish…now are u coming or what?
K: Sure….I will get ready…..
A: Yeah…you start getting ready…we are going after 2 hours…..you need time to get ready…all get ready in hour…..but u take 2 ….
K: I don't…
A: You do…..
K: Angad…..I don't
A: Oh I know….
K: God…you are weird…some times….
All got ready and even Pratham and Kartik decided to join them…They took…small tiffin boxex…packed for each one…so every one has some thing in their bags and small bottles of water and juice and were off for the ride….
They rode for quite some time and got tired….They found a nice picnic spot…and decided to have their lunch and then go back after sitting for some time….
Angad bought both Kripa and his bag and kept it on the ground….They spread the bedsheet which Pratham has bought with them…and then took there boxes and enjoyed there lunch…after some time…they all went back home….
Kripa's Grand parents took…Sadhvi and Priya to meet some of their friends…..with them…..Kripa was in her room….when she heard…her mom shout…..
She came down quickly and saw…her mom was crying and saying her grand parents and twins met with a pretty bad accident….Sulebhan…tried to calm her down….Pratham….too tried to calm Gayatri….but she was too scared and emotional…..Pratham looked at Kripa…with tears in his eyes…Kripa had tears too…and she started trembling…...He quickly went up…..took kripa in his arms…and consoled her….telling her everything will be fine….He slowly took her to Khanna's house…and told them what had happened…….. then left with a small kiss on Kripa's cheek….which were wet……with tears…He told her to stay with Angad …and he will come to take her…once he sorts everything out….Pratham took his parents to the hospital…where they were told they were admitted…….
Naina and Dilip along with Dadi went to hospital too….Angad took Kripa in his room….Kripa was still crying…….He took her in his arms and hugged her…She just sat with him…and cried her eyes off…till she fell asleep…Angad made her drink some water in her sleep and made her sleep in the bed….Then he got a call from his parents saying Kripa's grand parents have died …but Sadhvi and Priya were doing fine…with little scratches…..After they told to take care of Kripa……they kept the phone….He slowly went down….and sat on the sofa with his head down…..crying……He was close to Kripa's grand parents too…They loved him as their own grand son too….Kartik…came home at the same time…He saw Angad crying…and asked what the matter is…..he looked concerned……Angad told him about the accident….and Kartik left for the hospital…..Angad went to Aliyah's room….who was disturbed too…He hugged her …and gave her some milk and made her sleep…..He did not tell her about the news…which his mom gave….thinking….it will be better to tell her when every one comes…..
Next day Kripa knows about all this…and is devasted….Angad…was besides her every step of the way…..4 days passed by…Still Kripa is in a bad shape…She is in her room…when Angad came in with a plate in his hand….
A: kripa…eat some thing…you have not had proper food…..for a while now….
K: I am not hungry Angad….
A: Please….for me…..Kripa…your dada dadi..will not come back…if u stay hungry…but rather they will be sad….and unhappy…because…you are not taking care of ur self…so please………little bit for me….please…Aftere talking to her for some more time…Angad could make her accept the food….
Kripa nods…and slowly Angad..feeds her…little by little she completes her whole plate…..Then she looked at Angad and asked how are Sadhvi and Priya doing?
A: They are fine…Gayatri aunty is in no position to look after them…so mom took both of them to our house…and they are staying with Aliya…..dadi …I mean my dadi…she is here….to take care of things….
Kripa nodded and then her eyes fill with water….She slowly went to Angad and hugged him…Angad hugged her back….with tears flowing from his eyes too….They stayed there for a long time…Then…Angad asked Kripa to take rest…Kripa asked him not to go and stay with her….Angad agreed and took out his shoes and sat on the bed….Kripa sat besides…him…and when he opened his arms for her….she went into him…..and rested her forehead…..on his chest….Angad caressed her….and murmered slowly…that every thing will be fine…and kept her in his arms…until she was asleep….He made her sleep and then switching off the light went away………Days pass by and its 3 months since Sulebhan's parents death….
Kripa is sitting by the lake and looking at the lake with sorrow…and pain in her eyes….Some one comes from behind and calls her….She doesn't reply back…..She is still looking at the water…in deep thoughts….After some time she realizes ….some one sitting next to her and looks at the person…It was her best friend…..looking at her….
K: Angad …why are u here…
A: Stupid…its dinner time….And every one is looking for u…..why did u not tell any one that u are here….
K: I told u I want to stay alone…..
A: Yeah…..But that was in the afternoon…You have been here for 4 hours….
K: Oh I am sorry….I did not realize it was so late…
A: Hey…hold it…We are friends…then why are u telling me sorry…
K: Yeah Right….
A: Kripa…
K: What?
A: Kripa …I know u are sad….but I don't know the reason behind it…
K: Its nothing Angad.....
A: Kripa I can see clearly that u are upset…..whats the matter…..? Won't u tell ur best friend ..I tell u everything….but u ….and Angad looks other side…pretending to be angry…
K: Ok…ok…Angad..yeah I am sad…I wanted to come to u….and tell u about it….but…
A: Are u not well…Is every one ok…..at home….
K: No…no one is ok…Angad….Since Granny and Grand dad's accident…nothing is ok at home….Dad is in bad shape….Mom too is not doing so well...And Sadhvi and Priya miss them so much…that they get night mares…..some times about the accident….They are pretty scared…Its gods….miracle that they survived the accident….And today….dad and mom….they well.. decided to leave Nainital…
A: What….? But u can't leave…We are best friends….I don't want u to leave…I will try to talk to Dad and see…and may be he can talk to ur dad…
K: Shaking her head…no Angad there is no use…He has decided…and he got this job offer..and he is taking it….I heard him tell my mom to pack up …..We are not only leaving Nainital…but we are leaving the country….
A: Oh…God…no..no…Angad got up….and started hitting the tree in Anger……Kripa looked up at him….with tears in her eyes….He muttered some thing…which Kripa did not get it….
K: I will miss u Angad…What am I going to do without u…You were the only friend I had here……Angad came besides her and sat with his head down….They both lay down besides each other on the grass and looked at the sky….full of stars….They were quite for some time….
