Part 9
One year had passed; Angad as usual was same old same yet his life had changed in many ways. He walked into the house drunk like every other night, slowly but carefully he made his way up to his room, closing the door behind him. When he saw the same paper he had seen in the morning, again he picked it up and read it aloud sarcastically, " the young and wealthy Josh Kapoor is finally wedded to interior designer - Kripa Sharma " angad grins and tears the photo in half, A- never! Just wait and watch kripa, I'm coming to make you life the way I want it. He make his way to his bed and searched for something in he draw, he took out a crumpled letter, trying to straighten it out, yes it was the same letter kripa had left inside the envelope for Angad. He looked at it and reread it again over and over like he did when he first received it.
Dear angad,
I don't know whether I'm doing the right thing, then again I never thought twice before falling in love with you, and look how that turned out, anyway, I know after you read this you probably won't care, you'll just trash this but being a human I thought you had the right to know. You wanted to know who the father was for my child right. Well it was you, Angad. Shocked I know but unlike me you've probably don't remember prom night when we made love no sorry it was probably just a one night stand for you, well the outcome of that was rahul, I can't change it, you can either believe me or deny all you want but that will never change the truth. But the sad thing was, you actually believed it was Prithivi's child, then again after all I'm a sl*** right? Actually the saddest thing was I prayed that maybe one day we'd be together , I still had loved you after you insulted me, and unfortunately I still do, then again I'm just a silly girl dreaming , when in reality you're the only person that has only given me pain except when you gave me rahul but then he was snatched from me, anyway thank you for coming into my life , you have taught me many lessons especially a very important one, NOT TO FALL IN LOVE, it's all fake, but I wish you had taught me how to mend my heart back into one piece, I mean after all you were the one that broke it ,how ever I shall move on someday and will pray that maybe you get some sense and change your ways of living , it's time you be a real man. Have a good life and I hope we never come across each others way.
Love kripa,
He caressed over the letters kripa, they were smudged obviously by her tears when she had written this letter, angad sighed, his life was messed up, and he didn't know what he wanted. He had lost face in god especially when he found about his child rahul, he blamed it on him from taking his son away, then again who was more guiltier him from ruining Kripa's life or god snatching rahul away from them. He hated kripa for keeping this secret from him, if she had told him then perhaps they could have worked things out but no she had other plans he though furiously thinking about this josh Kapoor guy. He slowly dozed off with these thoughts till it was morning again. The first thing he did was freshen up, after that he booked a ticked for New York, America, where kripa was. Two days later he was on his way to kripa, why? well he didn't know himself?
On the other side, in New York, inside a huge house more like mansion, a guy is seating down at the breakfast table , doing his tie, when he scream, G- KRIPA, yes it was none other than josh Kapoor, a young and wealthy businessman, he looks up to see his best friend, kripa Sharma. K- what happened , j-have you seen the headlines , kripa looked at him confused, k- no why, j- well where so called married honey, wow I had a wife and I never knew, shame no, k-WHAT, why would these reporters do this, j- because kripa they're reporters duh, god what will happened to all the girls they'll be so heart broken, gosh just because you live with me doesn't mean were freaken married nor having an affair, god your more like my sister, ewww, kripa couldn't help but laugh. Well how did these two meet, well kripa applied for a job in an interior designing company and was assigned to do josh' house, they both got to know each other also through anjali, Prithivi's sister , kripa told josh about her past, he felt terrible , he asked her if she wanted to live with him in this huge house as he was lonely and it was nice to have company , he told not to worry, he wasn't like that type of guy that would use her and kripa trusted him and they became the best of friends more like brother and sister when kripa decided to move in as on her salary she had to do long hours in order to pay rent as well as take care of other bills, however she does pay rent to josh who doesn't argue with her and takes it as it make her feel less guilty staying there. J- OMG I know who is behind this, damn kavya , wait till I get my hands on him, he thinks it's April's fool, god that idiot , I know he did this on purpose don't worry kripa I'll have this all cleared soon, now I'm off by the way I leaving today for a week for India , got a meeting so by the time I'm back everything should be cleared , god who knows has seen the papers, oh god I hope my mom hasn't , sh** she'd probably already on the next flight to new York, god I'm going kill kavya , that moron, he said leaving the house with his suitcase. Kripa sighed, this was usual she was always being asked if josh and her were more than friends but like josh had told her to just ignore it and they leaver her alone which they did until stupid kavya played this prank. She turned around to get ready for work where she knew she would be bombarded with questions like, "omg your married?", "how? Why? But?", or "you're so lucky, he is so cute and handsome". Kripa came tired as usual, she had a hectic and busy day, she was so happy she had a week break off she definitely need, had thankfully she had the whole house to herself just for the week not that she wouldn't miss josh of course she would but she just needed some time to herself.
She had an early night, around 1 am the windows opened and she thunder stroked, she got up rubbing her bare arms feeling goose bumps , she closed the window finally managing to free herself form her pink curtains, she hoped back into bed when coincidentally the door bell rang, K- who is it at this time thought looking at her arm lock, she got up and wrapped herself in her robe and walked down. She opened the door only to be greeted by a cool breeze and no one else except darkness, she peeped , looking left to right, she shook her head in annoyance and then walked back closing the door and heading back upstairs , when the door bell rang again, she walked over and opened it yet again no one was there when she looked down saw a bouquet of red roses , she picked them confusingly , k- who could they be from she thought closing the door walking into the living room sitting down on the couch. She looked at the roses ,she smelt them, looking for a note she found nothing , K- maybe they're for josh she thought and put them in a vase and went back to sleep. Two months have passed, kripa enjoyed her break , while josh had came back from India and very happy indeed as kavya apologized for being an idiot at published and article clearing the new, kripa was a lot happier though her life had changed these past two months, it had seem she had herself an admirer , either flowers, notes, chocolates, or photos of herself. She had told josh about it who just told her not to worry; it was probably someone playing a prank.
As usual josh came home at 4pm , J- kripa guess what, you know the mysterious famous business man that has never shown his face to the media or reporters, what is his name , zaib khanna , guess what he is throwing a welcoming ball finally he'll be coming in front of the media, and he has invited me, I'm da** excited after all I want to how this guys looks after opening a business just in two months and bringing in huge profit of course not more than me he said arrogantly, J- anyway your coming with me because it's such late notice for me to bring a date he said laughing, kripa hit him, j- just joking I want you to be me to share the excitement, k- jeeze josh your acting as if you have a crush on this guy, j- oh please ewww, I'm straight and happy, I'm just impressed with this guy actually quite jealous it took me so long and it took him only two months, K- hmm some one is jealous with envy, J- whatever anyway the theme is green, coincidence or what, then again I'm sure there will be many people at the party that envy him oh and it's masquerade , I guess I'll get our mask, I know weird guess this guys is going to make this event big , J- yeh anyway be ready by 7 okay I'm going to the gym and he left while kripa nodded , though she didn't like going to balls or parties, but josh had asked her so nicely and then again she too was now curious to know who this zaib khanna person was.
