Angad and Tanya had been going out for a week. She knew Angad didn't love her, yet she went out with him. No, not because she loved him but because she was after his wealth. Angad had found that out yesterday when he heard her talking about her relationship with him to someone else. He wanted to confront her there... insult her for playing with his feelings, but then he thought and remembered that neither of them had made any commitments, so he shrugged it off. He hadn't told her he had found out the truth today either, mostly because he never cared about her, so it didn't hurt. He just wanted to get rid off her, and he had.
Kripa couldn't stop thinking about what she had seen. How Angad had treated that girl.. Tanya, she remembered her name clearly. His words echoed in her mind, 'bhool jaao wo sab'. Yesterday she was annoyed at Angad, today she didn't like him.. and now she hated him. Jiss insaan ko kissi ki feelings ki kadar na ho, usse moon hi nahi lagana chahiye. She decided to stay away from him and wouldn't let him take advantage of her again.

Kripa and Harshini walked to their next class when they heard someone call Kripa's name. They turned around and saw Prithvi coming out of the seniors common room. 'Hey Kripa… kaissi ho..'. He questioned. Kripa looked at him confused, yeh itna acha kyun ban raha hai mere saath, she wondered.
'er.. main to theek ho…' she answered as she looked around. The common room was quite big and looked really comfortable. There were four sofas, several big cushions gathered around in a corner as a chilling zone. There was a small caf just for the seniors in another corner, and two vending machines.
Kripa waited for Prithvi to say something, when she heard another voice coming from behind. She guessed who it'll be, the last person she wanted to be with at the moment.
'Prithvi tu yaha kya kar raha hai.. Mishti tujhe bula rahi hai..' Angad said as he walked towards the door. He was quite surprised to see Kripa standing there… with Prithvi.
'KRIPA..' he mocked. 'TUM yahan kya kar rahi ho… lagta hai meri sewa karte karte tum thaki nahi abhi..' he added cheekily as Kripa gave him an angry look.
'Nahi.. main to guzar rahi thi magar Prithvi ne rok liya… ' she said as Angad stood in front of her. He looked at Prithvi and smiled, 'oh!... par fikar mat karo.. I'm sure Prithvi nahi chahta ke tum late ho… to tum jaa sakti ho…' he said. Just then he had an evil idea and blocked her way quickly. Kripa suddenly stopped, she would have crashed straight into his chest if she hadn't had stopped her steps in time.
'Maine kaha jaa sakti ho.. par maine yeh nahi kaha ke ABHi' he smirked. 'Follow me..' he added and went in the common room. Kripa looked hesitantly at Harshini who didn't seem to have a problem and followed Angad. Prithvi felt sorry for her and whispered in Angad's ear, 'Chor na yaar bechari ko.. kitna tang kare ga aur usse…'. Angad just smiled back and took a seat in a small table in the caf. Prithvi was afraid that Kripa might complain to her dad about them annoying her, as it is already, he hardly attended any classes.
The seniors looked at the two girls walking in the common room but ignored them thinking Angad must have called them.
'OK MISS Sharma… sab ke orders le lo… koi galti nahi honi chahiye…' he said and sat down. Kripa looked at him giving him a confused look, not knoing what he had meant. He smirked and added, 'Trays waha hai..', and pointed to a corner piled with trays.
Kripa's jaw fell open, what does he mean? Nokar samjh kar rakha hai mujhe? Main.. aur isse serve karoo.. kabhi nahi!! She thought. But she picked up a tray and took the orders on a small notepad, giving Angad cold glares every once a while.
'I want black tea.. NO sugar.. NO milk…… GOT IT!' he ordered. Khud jitna karwa hai, chai bhi utni hi karwi peetha hai… urgh.. she thought as she noted everything down. She turned around to leave when she heard his voice again, 'jaldi aana… aur make sure ke garam ho… I like mine Hot!!!' he added mischievously. Kripa looked at him confused, not sure what he had meant by his last statement. Angad grinned at her reaction, she was way too innocent. Even better!.. mujhe hi sab sikhana pare ga.
Kripa came back with a tray full of food; 3 cups of tea, samosaz, sandwiches, random snacks. She handed the plates too everyone and noticed Mishti taking a seat next to Angad, she smirked and handed Angad his cup.
'URGH..' Angad spit his tea out. 'Yeh kya laayi ho.. itni meethi chai.. maine kaha tha na ke NO SUGAR?..'.
Kripa mocked at him, 'Maine to cheeni nahi daali, ab iss main meri kya galti hai ke tum ne kissi aur ka cup le liya hai,' She took the cup away from him and swapped it with Prithvi's. Angad looked at her angrily, what does she think of herself, he was sure she did that on purpose.
'Come on Angad baby.. choro na… pakore khao.. bohat tasty hai,' Mishti tried to lighten up HER Angad's mood but it made things worse.
'Jaaoo aur ek aur cup le ke aao…. And this time you BETTER get it right,' he ordered once again. Kripa looked at him angrily and went to get him another cup of tea. She had HAD enough now, she thought. Mishti smirked evilly, she was afraid Angad was giving this girl too much attention.. and she was right too… but she was glad now that he treated her like his nokar.
Kripa came back and smacked the cup on the table, hard. Half the tea spilled on the table and Angad stood up angrily, 'YEH KYA KIYA..'. Everyone was surprised to see Angad angry, he was normally a cool guy with no tensions or nothing to be stressed about. Mishti shot Kripa an angry look as the tea spilled on her new designer dress.
'Listen MR ANGAD KHANNA!,' she mocked, and exaggerated on his name. 'TUM SAMAJHTA KYA HO APNE AAP KO… TUM JO KAHO GE AUR MAIN WO KAROO GEE? Tum ho ge kissi ameer baap ke ameer bete… par apne ghar main… yeh college tumhare nahi hai aur na hi tumne kissi ko khareeda hai ke jo tum kaho ge aur hum karege… Mujhe gin hoti hai jab main tumhare paas aati hoo.. You disgust me.. Mujhe laga ke shayad tum ek ache insaan ho.. par Nahi..' she nodded no in anger and clenched her teeth, 'Tum ek self-centred, arrogant insaan ho jisse apne ilawa kuch nahi dikhta'. There. She said it. She couldn't control herself. She didn't think she would get this angry at anyone.
The room turned pin- drop silence as Kripa's voice echoed in every corner. Angad clenched his teeth and shouted, 'Get out before I do something that I WON'T regret, nikal jaao YAHA SE usse pehle ke main apne khosh kho bethoo' he pointed a finger at her face, 'Maine kaha GET OUT!'.
Harshini nudged Kripa and practically dragged her from there, Kripa wasn't finished with him YET, what did he think of himself? She was glad she finally showed him the real her, now he woudn't be able to take advatage of her. But little did she know, she had insulted him amongst all the seniors, his friends, she had to pay a price.
Everyone watched as she left, the room filled with small whispers, 'ab to Angad chore ga nahi isse… bechari.. yeh to gayi… pehli baar kabhi kissi ne Angad ke saath aisse baat ki hai.. aur wo bhi ek ladki ne.. tutt tutt'.
Prithvi stood there, dumbstruck, he hadn't imagined that THIS Kripa would be so confident. He had thought she was the quiet, shy one, but this girl DARED to talk to Angad like that. Mishti looked angrily at Kripa as she left, How dare she talk to MY Angad like that, she thought. But she was glad that now Angad would pay more attention to HER then this new girl.
Angad stood there numb, he never realised things would get out of hand, no one. No one had ever spoken to him like that.. that too a GIRL… a shy typical behenjee.
'Angad… tu theek to hai na.. yaar maine pehle hi kaha tha ke lafre main mat par.. principle ki beti hai, kahi phas na jaaye..' Prithvi said softly to Angad. Then changed his tone into a harsh one, after getting no reaction from him, 'yeh middle class ladkiya jaisse bahar se dikhti hai.. andar se utni his alag hoti hai.. aur inki zabaan to jaisse kenchi ki tarha chalti hai' , he had always wanted to be in Angad's good books, so what better way then to take his side?
Angad shot him an angry look, 'Ab tu dekh main kya karta hoo… yeh do take ki larki samajhti kya hai apne aap ko.. Who does she think she is?... Mujh se panga… ANGAD se panga… main isse itni aasaani se nahi chodoo ga… tu to pehle kehta tha na ragging bas karoo… ab tu dekh main kya karta hoo…' he smirked evilly and left.
Prithvi wasn't surprised at all, he would expect Angad to lose his temper, and now he felt even sorrier for the girl. He wondered what Angad had in mind.
