lovely part arwa; I've been waiting for this to be update; awww that was sweet of zaib and kripa; wonder what he'll ask for

Part 29

Isn't this a surprise guys, mom and dad are actually getting along. I mean it has been a week and I haven't heard any quarrel or argument. This is great seems like finally the love between them has grown. It took them ten years to compromise well at least it was dad who had to do it but then again I'm only ten yrs old so I don't really know why adults do what they do.

I'm just happy for them. Today's a beautiful night, with the moon out and all. Oh I miss Sophie remember the girl I told you about. I wish I could have taken her out in the moonlight by the lake just like Zaib and Kripa…

Outside the Khanna mansion there was a soft breeze. The air was sweet and the night was dark. The full moon was shining upon the lake which made it appear like a silk cloth. The birds and tiny insects were all snug in their homes. The night was silent except for the odd noises of crickets and light flies. Kripa sat at the edge of the lake dipping her toes and thinking about Zaib. On purpose she sat on the opposite side of the house so Zaib could see her from his room window.

Zaib was busily getting changed to sleep when his gaze fell on something outside his window. From the distance to which he was he could see a figure in white in the dark sky. It looked like a white cloth was flowing in the air and at first he thought he was too sleepy and perhaps he imagined a ghost but then it struck him that Kripa had told him to meet her by the lake. He swiftly moved his eyes towards the clock and saw it was eleven fifty five. He slapped his forehead and quickly grabbed his jacket and left the room.

He knew she was on the otherside but he wanted to surprise her so he went from the other bridge across the lake and then he waited near the bushes behind her. She looked so innocent sitting there dipping her feet inside the water and making quiet squeals when something touched her in the water. Just like a child. He had to take her in his arms before the feeling became uncontrollable but just as he thought of going near her he heard her speak softly to herself so he couldn't help but listen.

"Love can be so wonderful and strange sometimes. It's like a box of gold with a secret inside that has never been told. The box is priceless but as I see the treasure inside is far more precious to me. I share this treasure with Zaib today and this treasure of friendship and love will stay preserved with us forever."

God how did she do that? He thought whilst standing there. She had this magical affect in her that each and every word coming out of her mouth simply mesmerised him even more. Was she really the girl he had fallen in love with? Had he finally become lucky to get a girl like Kripa? He began to get closer to her making sure he walked quietly and slowly.

"If you look at it, up till now it has been Zaib who has been giving me things but I haven't really given him anything back in return except ofcourse for my intensive and unconditional love. Per pyaar hee sab kuch to nahi hota na."

He came much closer, creeping up from behind making sure he didn't make noise. In a way he wanted to test whether she could feel his presence or not.

"Kuch to hoga jo me oske liye karsaku. Think Kripa," She stood up and began pacing up and down in the small spot of hers near the lake. "Think."

By now he was right behind her. He was so close that he breathed on her bare shoulder but since it was cold she didn't feel the heat or perhaps she was too distracted to notice. "Maybe I can help."

"Aaaaaaah!" His sudden appearance and noise frightened her due to which she lost her balance and fell backwards into the lake. Zaib tried holding onto her but it slipped and in order to catch his balance he lost her and before he could realise there was a big SPLASH and she was in the lake.

When Kripa came to the surface she spit out the water and then moved her hair away from her face. Once she caught her breath she looked over at Zaib in anger whilst he stood there laughing like a clown. "Zaib! stupid idiot, aise bhooto kee tarha daraane kee kya zaroorat thi?"

"I'm sorry but sweetheart I didn't want to disturb your sweet thoughts."

"So you were spying on me?"

"Not exactly spying, just overlooking. Now come on itna to haq banta hai mera." He sat down near the edge of the lake resting on his toes, "come on I'll pull you out." He put his hand out in order for her to reach for it. When her's was clasped into his he began pulling her out but to his misfortune he couldn't see the slippery moss in the dark and before he knew it he also lost balance and joined her in the lake.

She couldn't stop her laughter at the scene as that really was hillarious. When he came to the surface he was unhappy and irritated, "hahahaha really funny." he made a cute angry face at her.

"tum to bare gappe haaq ke has rahe the when I fell and now when it's my turn you don't find it funny." She continued laughing and then by mistake she splashed some water at him.

"Hey!" He splashed some water at her.

"Why did you do that?" She threw some back at him.

"Because you just splashed some at me before." He did it again.

"Stop doing that." She was annoyed now and whined like a kid whilst splashing water at him. Both of them got carried away and continuously had a water fight with her constantly avoiding his attacks on her face but it couldn't miss her eyes when it stopped. "Ow!"

Zaib swam towards her and took her face in his hands and examined her. "What happened?" He saw how she kept blinking her eyes as if they stung or something.

"I think some water went in my eyes"

"Let me see." He stared into her eyes and then softly blew over them sending warm chills down her entire body. "Does that feel better now."

She smiled and then shuddered as the water was pretty cold. He noticed it which was an advantage.

"I think we should get out of this water otherwise we'll die." he spoke as a matter of factly. Both of them swam near the edge of the lake and then leaned onto the small stone ledge in order to get out. He was halfway out but she clung onto his shirt to get out which pulled him back inside. he was annoyed alright so he let her go first. He practically lifted her in his arms so she could easily get out and then finally he also got out. Unfortunately when both of them stood up the slimy moss was still present which made Zaib lose balance first and he held onto Kripa to save himself but instead his weight pulled her down too and both of them landed back into the same place as before - inside the lake.

"Uggh! why the hell don't you have spot lights here?" Kripa complained as she shivered in the cold water.

These two always crack me up but their romance is so innocent and pure that I just fall in love with them day by day. I mean because of their love I'm here so obviously I would love them... so the water is cold, both of them are wet, no one around...hmmm guys are you thinking what I'm thinking? Lets see what really happens...

This splash was quite loud to alert the guard sitting on the roof of the greenhouse. He immediately switched on his spotlight and shone it on the lake. Luckily Kripa and Zaib were a bit far from there so didn't come in the spot light. Which didn't mean that they won't come in it.

"you spoke too soon my dear." he spoke with gritted teeth and then saw the light coming towards them so he quickly ducked inside the water making sure only she was seen and not him.

The guard moved the light to where Kripa was and at first was startled to find her there as it was highly unappropriate. "My God mam what happened? Are you alright?"

"Oh y...e..ah I was...j...just," She was too nervous to even think about what excuse to give. She didn't get much time as the guard was walking up towards the edge of the lake.

"How did you end up in there?"

"I...um...er I was..." she struggled to think and plus she was also nervous about Zaib being underwater for so long so she had to make the guard go away quickly. "actually you know it was quite silly. I was walking near the lake and suddenly my foot slipped and I fell inside since it's too dark over here."

"You know you shouldn't be strolling around here all by yourself at this hour. It was good thing I was here. Now come on give me your hand I'll help you out."

Kripa panicked because if she moved then Zaib will think the guard has gone and he'll come up and then everything will be over. No she couldn't let that happen. "It's okay really, I'll manage to do it myself. Please you carry on."

"Are you sure maam as it's pretty dark over here?" the guard looked quite concerned to help the damsel in distress.

She gave him a fake smile, "I'll be fine thank you."

It seemed pretty convincing for the guard as he did leave her alone then. She heaved a sigh of relief and as soon as she was sure he was out of sight she tugged at her feet and moved in order for Zaib to come back to the surface. For some reason there was no movement which didn't show good signs. Why wasn't he coming back? "Zaib! Zaib! where are you? Zaib!" she began searching for him nearby and soon crashed into a lump. she pulled it out and was mortified to find an unconcious Zaib. Her feet and hands worked quickly in going near the edge and pulling him out along with her. She dragged him towards the grass and under a spot light which she was sure wouldn't be detacted. Then once he was laid onto the grass she checked his heartbeat and to her horror it had stopped. She became frantic and hysetrical with tears coming out her eyes, whilst rubbing his hands and feet in order to bring the circulation of blood back in his limp body. It had gotten cold which scared her even more. "Come on Zaib, wake up!" the rubbing wasn't making any difference so she left it and pumped his chest once, twice, thrice but nothing. This was worrying and she felt some what helpless. Then she lowered her mouth over his and constantly gave him mouth to mouth to bring him back to life.

Wow what a sweet update...
