Part 2
Kripa reached home and her mom, Moni questioned her about her interview, "Interview kaisa tha Kripa?"
Kripa did not reply, she was immersed in deep thoughts about her Greek god. She wasn't able to take him out of her thoughts. But as soon as her mom shook her, she was back to her sense. "Kya hua mama" she asked. "Kahan kho gayi hai?" her mom asked. "Kahin nahin mom." she lied.
"Achaa jaa ke fresh ho ja…mein tere liye chai bana ti hoon", said Moni. "Nahin maa mujhe anatasharm jaana hai" Kripa told her mom. Everyday she would go to the Anathasharm and spend some time with all the kids. She loved them, each one held a place in her heart. She couldn't understand why people will leave their children. She would always wonder if those people had a heart.
Kripa enters the orphanage with balloons in, she sees all the kids being given gifts, a girl notices her at the door, and yells, "Kripa didi!" and runs to her with a gift that was gien to her. Soon all the children follow with a gift in their hand, yelling her name.
Kripa gave each of them a balloon. While all the kids told her about the unknown stranger who brought gifts for them and what each one got. Kripa looked up to see the unknown stranger, and saw her greek god. He looked at her and smiled. His smile did something to her, something was happening in her heart, which she had never felt before, something she was oblivious too.
Angad began to walk towards her, "Hello Ms. Sharma" Angad said. "H…Hello" Kripa stammered out. Before they can continue their conversation, Prithvi, the owner of the son came up to them.
"Thank You Mr. Khanna for your generous donation, not that many people donate so much money at once."
"The pleasure is all mine, app log itna acha kam karte hain, mein itna to kar hi sakta hoon."
Kripa who was standing right there was fascinated, he was so sweet, so kind.
"Oh. Hi Kripa" Prithvi said when he noticed her. Prithvi always had a soft spot for Kripa in his heart and Kripa was well aware of that.
"Hi" Kripa said. She did not really like talking to him much. He was a chipku. He would always stare at her, making her uncomfortable.
Prithvi went inside after someone yelled his name.
"Do you come here often" Angad asked her.
"Haan…har roz aati hoon in bachoun se lagav sa ho chukka hai" Kripa told him.
"Haan…ye bache hain hi itne pyaare"
"Lekin app yahan?" Kripa asked curiously.
"Well mein humesha Mumbai ke orphanage mein donate karta hoon…to socha yahan aaya hoon to iss orphanage mein donate kar doun. These children deserve better, I can never understand why parents will leave their children all alone."
Kripa was surprised, he was passionate towards the children just like she was.
So these were the two meetings that changed her. The unknown feelings a stranger had created in her, had changed her forever, she was not the same Kripa Sharma.
She lost her appetite, food will be in front of her but she was lost somewhere else. She would lie on her bed, but would not sleep, tossing and turning her nights will pass by. While at the orphanage, she would not be ale to concentrate on playing with the children she would be lost in her own thoughts.
Often she would wonder what had happened to her, all her friends were also worried about her.
One of her friends asked her, "Kripa ajj kal kya hua hai tujhe?"
"Kuch bhi to nahin hua hai…mujhe kya hoga?
"Kripa ajj kal tu kahan khoyi rehti hai? Kisi cheej mein tera dhiyan nahin rehta hai…Kahin tujhe par to nahin ho gaya hai?"
"Nahin mujhe pyaar nahin hua hai."
That night Kripa thought about what her friend had said. Was she in love? She asked herself. Maybe she was...she knew numerous people who had been hurt by falling in love and she did not want to get hurt. But like everyone says: In love you don't control your heart it controls you.
The same happened with Kripa, she could not control her heart and lost it to Angad. She would see him everywhere she would look. She would see him everywhere. She lost her heart and herself.
Kripa's feelings can be expressed through the song: Jab se dekha tumko
Jab Se Dekha Tumko Haan Jab Se Dekha Tumko
Hum To Khoye Khoye Khoye Khoye Rehte Hai
Jab Se Chaaha Tumko Jab Se Chaaha Tumko
Hum To Khoye Khoye Khoye Khoye Rehte Hai
Sochte Hai Kuch Hum Kehte Hai Kuch
Chaahte Hai Kuch Hum Maangte Hai Kuch
Aaj Kal Raat Din Jaage Jaage Soye Soye Rehte Hai
Jab Se Dekha Tumko
Hum To Khoye Khoye Khoye Khoye Rehte Hai
Apni Gali Ka Pata Bhool Jaate Hai
Tera Naam Leke Kisi Aur Ko Bulate Hai
Apni Gali Ka Pata Bhool Jaate Hai
Tera Naam Leke Kisi Aur Ko Bulate Hai
Na Marna Achcha Lagta Hai Na Jeena Achcha Lagta Hai
Na Khaana Achcha Lagta Hai Na Peena Achcha Lagta Hai
Aaj Kal Raat Din Jaage Jaage Soye Soye Rehte Hai
Jab Se Dekha Tumko
Hum To Khoye Khoye Khoye Khoye Rehte Hai
Jab Se Chaaha Tumko
Hum To Khoye Khoye Khoye Khoye Rehte Hai
Pyaar Ke Pyaare Pyaare Sapne Sanjote Hai
Aksar Akele Mein Baith Ke Rote Hai
Pyaar Ke Pyaare Pyaare Sapne Sanjote Hai
Aksar Akele Mein Baith Ke Rote Hai
Kabhi Tanhaayi Tadpaati Hai Kabhi Yaad Kisi Ki Aati Hai
Kabhi Shola Koyi Bhadakta Hai Kabhi Dil Betaab Dhadakta Hai
Aaj Kal Raat Din Aaj Kal Raat Din
Jaage Jaage Soye Soye Rehte Hai
Jab Se Dekha Tumko
Hum To Khoye Khoye Khoye Khoye Rehte Hai
Jab Se Chaaha Tumko
Hum To Khoye Khoye Khoye Khoye Rehte Hai
Sochte Hai Kuch Hum Kehte Hai Kuch
Chaahte Hai Kuch Hum Maangte Hai Kuch
Aaj Kal Raat Din Jaage Jaage Soye Soye Rehte Hai
Jab Se Dekha Tumko
Hum To Khoye Khoye Khoye Khoye Rehte Hai
Khoye Khoye Khoye Rehte Hai
Present Day:
Kripa opened the letter, her hand were trembling as she read it. Her heart skipped a beat when she ready "….accepted…" She couldn't believe it, she was accepted she was going to meet him again. Her happiness was seen on her face. She was really excited, her ticket was included, and it was written the letter that they will provide her with a place to stay.
She had to reach there in 3 days. She went straight home and told her mom. Moni was really excited for her daughter. Moni helped her daughter pack.
At the station, Moni was crying like every mom would do when her daughter was going far away. Telling her: apna dhiyan rakhna…bhaar ka khana zyada mat khana…phone har roz karna…
Throughout the train ride, Kripa thought about meeting Angad, spending time with him. She soon fell asleep thinking about him and by the time she woke up she was in Mumbai.
