Part 3:
Kripa looked at the man as if he was absolutely nuts.
Kripa: sorry for the outburstā¦
Person: don't be! I'm not! If I hadn't pounded on the door, you wouldn't have come ran, if you hadn't ran, you wouldn't have gotten angry, if you hadn't gotten angry, you wouldn't have scolded me, if you hadn't scolded me, I wouldn't have been able to hear your sweet voice.
Kripa (rolled her eyes): kitna kam bolte hain na aap? (you don't talk much do you?)
Person: that's what I always sayā¦.but everyone tells me that I talk a lotā¦.but I believe, if everyone just listens, who is going to speak? Anywaysā¦now if your speaking, listening, and scolding is doneā¦may I come in?
Kripa rolled her eyes once again. The man was impossible. He walked in and made himself at home. Kripa crossed her arms and stood in front of him.
Person: Angadā¦I'm here to see Angad.
Kripa: who exactly are you?
Person: Mallikā¦Armaan Mallik.
Kripa: very commonly used line. NOT very impressive at all. Stolen from "Bondā¦James Bond." If you think that your personality is anywhere near his then you're..
Armaan(interrupting her): Absolutely Correct! I know! No need to tell me hun.
Kripa(mumbling under her breath): god the man is so full of himselfā¦
She left to call Angad leaving Armaan staring after her.
Armaan(after Kripa left): "Mirchi Ki Jarurat Nahi padegi, Teri daant jo kha leā¦, Khuda se kuch maanguga nahi agar tu mere dil se dil laga leā¦"āwow armaanā¦you're too good!
On the other hand, Kripa entered angad's room to see him sobbing silently with a tiny frame in his hand. She knew whose picture that was. It was a picture of Kripa's parents, and Angad-Kripa. The picture that was taken on Angad-Kripa's engagement. She couldn't forget that frame. He had taken that from her room and told her to get another one because he wanted to take his family home.
Kripa: Angad. Some Armaan is here to see you.
Angad nodded and put the picture back in his bag. He wiped his tears as h got up. He was staring at the floor out of guilt as he walked past Kripa. Kripa grabbed his elbow to stop him. She moved in front of him and looked at him. No matter what he did to her, she couldn't deny the fact that she still loved him. Only she didn't want him to know that. Without saying anything, she lightly wiped the few tears he had missed.
Kripa: You Okay?
Angad: Kripa I'm Sorry Iā¦
Kripa: Angad Please! I don't want an explanationā¦I believe it's a little too late.
She walked out before he could say anything else. She walked down the staircase without noticing Armaan's constant stare.
Armaan: Intezaar mein ek phool ke iss tarah se murjha gaye hum, bina paani piye, sirf tumhe dekh kar phir se khil gaye hum.
Kripa: that is pathetic.
Angad(walking up behind Kripa): Armaanā¦stop flirting with any girl you findā¦especially with your crap poetry.
Kripa: Flirt?? I thought your friend was trying to bore me.
Armaan: ae berehem yeh kya kar diya tune? Ek dil layaga tha tujh haseen par, kaanch ki tarah hazar tukdo mein tod diya tune?
Kripa: Kitna kamzor hai who dil jo hamari ek baat na she sake, aise dil ki kya himmat ke kissi se pyaar kar sake.
Armaan: Subhan Allah! Aisi ek haseena nahi dekhi aaj tak jo humse muqabala kar sake. Shaya khuda ne koi aisa banaya hi nahi jo aapse behter ho sake.
Kripa: hum bhi keh paate aapke bare mein yeh kaash, afsos, iss janm mein waqt nahi hamare paas.
Angad: What a burn!
Armaan: heyā¦at least I know poetryā¦
Kripa: Angadā¦I didn't know that random blabbering was considered poetry these daysā¦
Angad: Armaanā¦mark today's dateā¦this is the first time in your life when a girl has burned youā¦TWICE!
Armaan: If the girl is beautiful like her, then I'm willing to recite my cheap poetry for the rest of my life.
Angad didn't like that. He didn't like that at all. He didn't want anyone but him to look at Kripa that way. Possessive? Damn right he was.
Angad(debating in his mind): Why?? Why don't you like it?? You have no right to think like that anymore Angadā¦you had the right but not anymoreā¦you have snatched everything away from herā¦spare her her life at leastā¦let her live in peaceā¦
Armaan noticed Angad's absence despite of his presence. Angad's red eyes didn't escape Armaan's eyes either.
Armaan: Angad. What's wrong?
Angad: Nothing.
Armaan: since when do you lie to me Angad? First of all, you are here but lost somewhere in the world of your thoughtsā¦and secondā¦your eyes are red. As much as I know youā¦you don't smoke or dope (take drugs)ā¦have you been crying lately?
Kripa(covering Angad, god knows why): No he hasn'tā¦I made him chop onionsā¦
Angad thanked her with his eyes.
Kripa(thinking to herself): he still hasn't changeā¦never admitted that he cries every once in a while still doesn't and never willā¦
Armaan: Soā¦Ms.Beautiful.
Kripa: The name is Kripa. Not Kria, not Krips, not Kripah..just Kripa.
Armaan: okay so Ms. K-R-I-P-Aā¦what are you doing tonight?
Kripa looked at Angad then back at Armaan. She gave him a look, turned around, and left.
Armaan: hmmmā¦she isn't like other girls is she?
Angad: Definitely not.
Armaan: oh wellā¦I actually came here to ask if you guys were up for a party tomorrowā¦
Angad: party? For what?
Armaan: who said you need to have a reason to party?? And if we have to have a reason then lets celebrate my first happy meeting with K-R-I-P-A.
Angad: Happy? I don't think she was that happy to see you Armaanā¦
Both men continued talking. Kripa walked down the stairs with keys dangling in her hand. She headed for the door when Angad excused himself and went after her. He caught up to her near outside the door, in the driveway.
Angad: Kripa wait!
Kripa stopped in her tracks but didn't turn around.
Angad: where are you going?
Kripa: why do you care? What difference does it make to you?
Angad(seriously): relax Kripaā¦and you know very well that it makes a big difference to me.
Kripa finally looked up at him and noticed his blank stare on her.
Kripa(sighed): seems like you forgotā¦Today is Saturdayā¦
She was about to walk away but he stopped her.
Angad: I'll come with youā¦
Kripa: you don't have toā¦I can manage.
Angad: oh..I know you can butā¦I promised you.
Kripa: so you finally remember your promises after 2 entire years? Besidesā¦you promised me a lot of things Angadā¦including staying together forever and always.
And with that she left leaving Angad going over the promises he had made to her. How long was this going to go on for? He hated the way their life had become. Why couldn't it just go back to normal. Snapping out of his chain of thoughts, he went back into the house.
Armaan: finallyā¦..soā¦what's going on between you and Kripa?
Angad(startled): what do you mean?
Armaan: How do you know her?
Angad(sighed in his mind): She is simone's cousin...she just came from India yesterdayā¦speaking of whichā¦why weren't you at the engagement?
Before Armaan could answer, a cell phone went off. Kripa walked into the house, went directly to the side table and answered her cell. Her face caught a glint of happiness but it disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.
Angad: what happened Kripa?
