Part 4:
Angad: what happened Kripa?
Kripa: um…sim called…she wants us to join her, Prithvi and others up at the cottage…it's a camp-out because the cottage is too small for all of us…um…you go ahead…I'll stay back…I don't feel like camping
Angad: but you love camping…and you know how Simone is…she will send me back to get you if you don't come with me...
Armaan: its okay Angad…I'll keep her company…
Kripa: um...on a second thought…lets go...havent seen that place in years (her cell rings again): hello?...what?...yea…are you serious?...um…do I have to?.....fine….okay…bye…(hangs up): Angad…pack clothes for five days…it's a vacation….armaan, Riddhima, and a few more people are joining us as well…
Armaan: ah darn it! My surprise is all spoiled…
Angad: what are you talking about?
Armaan: I was going to take you two out to "party" but actually was going to drive you up north.
Angad: well…you go ahead. Kripa and I will join you guys soon. You have to pick up the rest don't you?
Armaan: yea I do…and since ms.K-R-I-P-A is here…I'm guessing she's going to take hours to pack…you know the typical woman thing... (Kripa shot him a glare)…I better get going...people are waiting for me…
Kripa silently left to pack her bags. She was about to go on approximately a six hour drive…alone…with Angad! She didn't want to but she wasn't given any other options.
--::-::--::--
She sat there in the front seat silently observing the buildings passing by. They had been driving for the past half an hour now but neither had said a single word. She was slowly drifted into slumber. He watched her affectionately once she closed her eyes. He didn't dare look at her when she was awake but not he could look at her all he wanted.
--::--::--::--
Kripa ran down the hall. She had to; otherwise, she would be late to class on her first day at her new school. She grabbed everyone's attention as she sprinted to her class. She stepped into the classroom, out of breath, on the moment the bell rang. Everyone's gaze fell on her entry and soon, the class was breaking out into giggles and whispers. A tall, fair skinned boy with a hot build walked up to her.
*****before i continue this and confuse you guys...this is the flashback!!*****
Boy: namaste Aunty ji
The class burst into laughter. Kripa stood quietly, she wasn't going to let it affect her.
Another boy from class: Angad! Is she your aunty?
Angad: no…but she must be someone's aunt…
A girl: Oh!!...is she our new teacher??
The teacher cleared his throat behind Kripa. Everyone settled in their seat while Kripa took the very first one near the door. The teacher looked at all the girls and then at Kripa.
Teacher: you must me Ms.Sharma.
Kripa nodded sweetly. The teacher smiled.
Teacher: girls...I think you shoud learn a thing or two from Ms.Sharma…clothes are meant to cover your body not display it…thanks for following the school dress code Ms.Sharma.
Kripa rolled her eyes. As if the student laughing and poking fun at her wasn't enough, the teacher had already made plans of making Kripa seem like a "teacher's pet". Throughout the class, every time Kripa moved, the sound of anklets and bangles echoed in the room, starting up light whispers once again.
As soon as the bell rang, she rushed out of the room before Angad got an opportunity to make fun of her. She went directly to her locker to change the books for the next class. She froze when she heard him again. Angad wasn't going to let her go so easily.
Angad: I'm sure your locker's door can stay off of my locker…
She looked at her locker door which was ajar and covering the locker right next to hers. "great", she thought "his locker is right next to mine…can't avoid him now can you? deal with it…it's only for a week.
Kripa (pulling her door off of his locker): sorry...
Angad: better be.
Kripa silently closed her locker door and went to her next class hoping that she would get welcomes much more pleasantly than last class. She beamed a smile when she saw a short and skinny girl sitting on the first desk with no one beside her.
Kripa: Kanya!!!
Kanya: Kripa!! Looking very nice aunty ji
Kripa: oh shut up!!
Kripa took the seat beside Kanya and both started talking. Angad and the gang entered the room.
Angad: namaste aunty ji!
Kripa (muttering under her breath): not again…
Angad: You know what Ms.Sharma….looking at you, it doesn't seem that you would be interested in science courses like chemistry…I had seriously thought you would be in….you know…the aunty-ji type of courses…Hindi, history, politics and so on….
Another girl: I don't think so…I bet she is in a social science course...and came to this class accidentally…
Kripa (angry): YOU KNOW WHAT?? It's none of your business. I can take whatever course I want to…even my parents don't make my decisions for me…who one earth gave you the right?
Kanya gently patted Kripa's back to calm her down. Angad and the gang was a bit taken aback at the sudden outburst but they all went back to normal as soon as Kripa apologized.
--::--::--::--
Kripa walked towards the hostel after the final bell rang. Just like any other girl would, she approached the path which lead to the "girls' hostel". Little did she know that she was again a victim of Angad and the gang's prank. They had deliberately switched the boards around just before she arrived. They were all waiting for her in the lobby of the hostel. Some purposely had just wrapped a towel around their waist, while some, including Angad, lingered around shirtless showing off their perfectly tuned abs. They all started behaving normally when they heard the jingling of her anklets.
Kripa froze as soon as she entered the lobby. Her anklets' noise attracted everyone's attention. Oh how she hated being there. Angad approached her with a slanted smile (the one that can kill..lol). As soon as he reached her, she turned around and took a step towards the exit only to be stopped by Angad. He held her wrist and turned her around causing her to crash into his bare, well built chest. A couple of glass bangles broke in the process making her hiss in pain. She jerked her hand back, gave him a glare of a million words and ran out of the building.
She went to the girls' hostel and found Kanya standing at the door, hand-in-hand with a guy with long hair and a piercing at his eyebrow. Kanya let go of his hand as soon as she saw Kripa.
Kripa: no need Kanya…seen it all with my very own eyes.
Kanya: oh well…I thought you'd be mad because I didn't tell you about him…anyways…this is my boyfriend…Ranbir.
Kripa: hey Ranbir…nice to meet you…
Ranbir: nice to meet you too Ms.kripa…
After a couple of seconds of silence, both burst out into laughter and hugged each other, shocking Kanya.
Ranbir: oh God! I missed you so much!
Kripa: I missed you too!
Kanya: Ranbir? Kripa?...what the hell Ranbir! You're cheating on me??
Ranbir: oh yea I am…I am cheating on you with my sister!
Kanya: your sister??!!
Kripa: cousin sister…even though we're cousins and I moved to this city three months ago, we haven't seen each other for a year I think…
Ranbir(hugging Kanya): awww…did you really think I was cheating on you??
Kanya: I'm sorry but I did…
Kripa: he would never do that…in fact…he's been planning to talk to his and your parents for your wedding.
Ranbir: KRIPA!!!!! Thanks a lot of spoiling my surprise.
Kripa(bit her tongue): ooppss…
Kanya smiled shyly and looked at Ranbir. Ranbir was busy looking at Kripa..
Ranbir: Kripa…what happened to you??
Kripa: what do you mean??
Ranbir: You look like an aunty-ji.
Kanya giggled aloud making Kripa glare at her. Kripa stomped her foot and walked away in a bad mood.
Ranbir: what happened?
Kanya: she's been getting that since the morning…I'm sure she didn't need it from YOU!...
