Baawri Piya Ki
At the Station:
Kripa stepped off the train, feeling the air of Mumbai. She was finally here and a few hours away from seeing him. She looked around to see who had come to take her, after walking around to spot someone she finally saw Kanan walking towards her.
"Hey Kripa" Kanan said. "Hi" replied Kripa smiling at Kanan. "How are you?" Kanan asked Kripa while a Colie picked up Kripa's luggage. "I am fine, you?" Kripa said as she followed Kanan to her car. "I am good" Kanan replied.
In the car:
Kanan informed Kripa that her apartment was not read, so she will have to stay at the Khanna's out house until. "Or you can stay at a hotel, all charges will be taken care of by the Khannas" Kanan said. "No, its ok I will stay in the out house." Kripa replied. This will give her more time to be close to Angad, she thought. "Hmm ok…You know Kripa I am glad that Angad Sir has chosen you. After all you're a great singer."Kanan had loved Kripa's singing. She appreciated her expressions, her pitching, and her tone. "Thank Kanan, I am glad you liked my singing" Kripa said.
Kanan and Kripa reached the Khanna House. Where Kripa was taken inside, as the outhouse needed some cleaning to do since no one had used it.
Inside the Khanna House:
Kripa looked around and thought this place looked just like a mansion that she had seen only in films. The embellished mansion, the servants, the furniture, and all other things in the house made her uncomfortable. Coming from a middle class family Kripa was not used to all this.
Kanan decided to show her around the mansion until the out house was not cleaned. Going from room to room Kanan showed Kripa the house. But Kripa was waiting to see Angad's room. Finally Kripa was outside of Angad's room. "…and this is Angad sir's room." Kanan said. But before she can say anything else an important call came which Kananhad to answer. Kanan became immersed in her conversation while Kripa went inside Angad's room with out anybody's permission she fell as if it was her haq, her right to go into his room.
Kripa walks aroung Angad's room touching his cds collection, his clothes in the closet. She lies on the bed, and thinks that she is in his arms. But soon her trance is broken as she hears footsteps of someone. She looks around, panicking, thinking of what she should do. She decides to hide on the side of Angad's closet.
As soon as she hides, someone opens the door it was Angad. After a tired day he takes of his suit and throws it on the bed and starts to unbutton his shirt oblivious to the fact that Kripa is in his room looking at him. He takes of his shirt and throws it, which lands on the floor. He takes of his shoes and just lets them stay there in the middle of the room and walks of to the bathroom. While Kripa was staring at him, he was so good looking, she thought.
Kripa saw that Angad went in the bathroom so she started walking towards the door while Angad came out of the bathroom since he forgot to get a new pair of clothes. Kripa did not notice Angad coming out of the bathroom nor did Angad notice Kripa since he was looking at the floor. Both clashed into each other and because of Angad's shoes Kripa fell on the bed and Angad fell on top her.
Kripa was scared to open her eyes but when she did, she saw Angad looking at her. They both were immersed in each other's eyes. Both was able to feel the other person's heart beat as Angad's half naked body was lying on top of Kripa's. Both were lost in each other discovering the new feelings in their hearts. Angad begin to move his face closer to Kripa. Kripa was able to feel his breath on her lips. But as soon as they were to kiss Angad's phone rang which brought him out of the trance and he lifted his weight from Kripa's body. Allowing Kripa to get up and leave the room.
Outside Angad's room, Kanan was still immersed in her conversation. After a few minutes Kanan ended her call and told Kripa that the outhouse was ready. While inside Angad ended his call with his dad. He thought about what just happened and how close he was to Kripa. It felt so nice, so perfect being with her. But he should not forget his promise. He cannot think of Kripa this way, he just can't.
Kripa went into the outhouse. It was just at beautiful as the mansion but instead of looking around Kripa sat on the sofa thinking of what happened. How close she was to Angad close enough to hear each other's heart beat. They were about to kiss, all these thoughts this new ehsaas was sending shivers down Kripa's body. She could still feel him on her. "Kash vo waqt aise hi tham jata, saari zindagi kash tumhari bahoon mein reh paati mein" Kripa said as she closed her eyes to relive those precious moments.
