Part 15:
Angad held Kripa from falling, A doctor who was passing by told him to take her to one of the rooms. Angad carried her in his arms and put her down on the bed. A doctor soon came and checked her pulse. He told Angad she should be back in senses in a short while. Angad went to see Josh who was crying on the bench. Angad went sat beside him, hugged him, and cried himself. Both friends cried their heart out. Eventhough Gayatri was Angad's mother-in-law for about 2 months, he still felt like he lost someone really important in his life, afterall, she was no less than a mother for him.
**(ok reminder guys..i had a week leap, then a three week leap, then a quick fast forward to anjali's engagement which was about a week and then a leap to her wedding which was about 3 weeks so thts a total of 8 weeks..........so two months....hope i didnt confuse you).**
Josh: Angad......achanak kya ho gaya? mein pappa se kya kahunga? Kaise kahunga unse ke mamma....
Josh and angad cried out into louder sobs. After a while, a nurse told them that Kripa was slowly regaining her conciousness. Angad rushed inside as he knew she would need someone. she needed him now more than ever. He went inside and sat beside her. Josh joined them after a while. Soon Kripa was awake but yet motionless. She wouldn't move, she wouldn't speak, she would just stare at Angad and josh as if they were crazy.
Kripa: why are you two crying?
Josh: Kripa hosh mein aao.....Kripa....mamma is no more..
Kripa: tum paagal ho gaye ho kya? aisa nahi kehte....mamma ko kuch bhi nahi hua...dekhna.....abhi thodi der mein pappa ko discharge mil jayega phir hum sab saath mein ghar chalenge....kuch nahi hua mamma ko....
Angad: Kripa....get a hold of yourself....you have to accept it....mamma humein chod kar chali gayi hai..
Everyone heard a crashing noise behind them and turned. Josh and Angad were stunned to see suryaban at the door, he had dropped his glass of medicine. A nurse was pushing his wheelchair but had stopped. Suryaban became motionless just as Kripa. Kripa got up from the bed.
Kripa: pappa...inki baat mat suniye....in dono ka dimaag kharab ho gaya hai.....mamma ko kuch bhi nahi hua....
Kripa put her hand on suryaban's shoulder but the slight force of kripa's hand caused Suryaban's body to fall on kripa's shoulder. Josh and Angad looked at the scene wide eyed. Kripa slowly laid suryaban back in his wheelchair but he wouldn't stay up. The nurse came back with new medicine for suryaban but yelled for a doctor seeing suryaban not being able to keep control over his body. doctor took suryaban to his room and checked him up. After a while he came back to a relaxed looking Kripa and sobbing Angad and Josh.
Josh: doctor....
Doctor: This is really an unfortunate day......I am sorry.....Mr.Sharma did not survive the shock.
Thats was it. That was the end of Josh's happiness as it seemed to him. This time Kripa started laughing which scared Angad and Josh. Why was she laughing? Has she gone crazy? Does she not understand the huge change that took over their life suddenyl? But both felt somewhat relieved when they noticed Kripa's laughter slowly turning into sobs. Before they knew it, she was miserable. The three gathered each other in a group hug and cried their hearts out. They were soon joined by Naina, Dilip, Aliyah, Dhruv, And Anjali. Everyone was flabbergasted at the terrible news, everyone sobbed, josh eventually sucked up the sorrow but Kripa was uncontrollable. After a great difficulty, they managed to take her home with her parents' corpses. By the time they reached home, Kripa was a statue again. Naina asked Aliyah to get Kripa changed into white before they bid a final goodbye to gayatri and suryaban. It was not very difficult for Aliyah because Kripa just stood there like a doll. Aliyah carried her down, Kripa walked as if she was a robot. Seeing her in such state, Angad's heart ached. The girl who used to chase him around, who used to have a smile on her face even when fast asleep was now walking because she was forced to, her face held no emotions. She was a living corpse. It seemed as if her body was here but her soul had died with her parents. It seemed as if the Kripa everyone knew no longer existed. He immediately went up to her and gathered in her in his arms. She stood there. Thats all she did, just stand there and breathe. Not a single tear falling from her eye, not a single change in her expression. Atlast, when Suryaban and Gayatri's corpses were lifted to be taken away, Kripa went nuts.
Kripa: kahaan le jaa rahe ho mere mamma pappa ko? Mein unhe kahi nahi jaane dungi....mein bhi unke saath jaungi...
Kripa screamed over and over again while all the women tried to hold her back.
Josh(angry): STOP IT KRIPA.....STOP IT...CONTROL YOURSELF....HOSH MEIN AAO....
Angad: josh...dont scream at her it wont help.
Angad went to her and tried gathering her in his arms once again but she pushed him away. Angad held her back by holding her arms and shoulders. Angad ordered Josh to leave quickly as she was not going to stop. Josh agreed and started walking out of the house with their parents. Kripa tried to rescue herself millions of times. Angad pulled her in front of him and slapped her tight to bring her back into her senses. Kripa stopped acting crazy at once and burst into tears. Everyone around her consoled at once. Angad seemed to be the most consoling one at the moment, He would never let her go out of his embrace, He let her cry for as long as she wanted to.
Naina: Angad...beta tumhe bhi jaana hoga....kuch rasmein hoti hai jo tumhe josh ke saath saath nibhani hai..tum jao...Kripa ki fikar mat karo...hum hai na?
Angad: par mom...mein kripa ko akele chod kar kaise jau?
Dadi: lekin beta...tumhe jaana hoga...
Angad reluctantly left Kripa with Naina and went after josh. After about two hours, All the men reuturned from the funeral.(hindu custom: women can't go to funerals). Angad walked straight to Naina who was sitting on the couch along with other women.
Angad: mom.....Kripa kahan hai?
Naina: apne kamre mein hai.....Aliyah uske saath hai..
Angad rushed upto his room and say Kripa crying while hugging Aliyah. Aliyah saw Angad enter and she pulled away from Kripa. Aliyah quietly got up and ran out of the room while crying herself. Angad went and sat beside Kripa. It wasn't long before Kripa broke down on his shoulder. Angad dropped silent tears while still being strong for her. After a long long time of crying, Kripa spoke with a cracked voice from crying for too long.
Kripa: kyun Angad? mere saath aisa kyun hua? meine kisi ka kya bigada tha? kyun hua aisa mere saath?
Angad(in his mind): kaash mein tumhe in sawaalon ka jawaab de sakta kripa....lekin mein majboor hoon..mere paas tumhare sawaalon ka koi jawaab nahi hai....
Kripa drifted to sleep while crying. Angad quietly laid her on the bed, tucked her under the sheet and laid beside her, still embracing her. he fell asleep in no time as he was crying also.
