Chapter 14:

"Kripa, I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to do anything, but this Prithivi do you remember who he is?" Angad asked slightly cautiously. Was he possibly thinking I would explode on him, I turn calmly and stare at him. He watched with anxious wide eyes, "are you okay?" he asked taking a step towards me to wipe the tears trickling down my eyes. He stared at the tears with surprise, "these don't look pretty on you Kripa, they never did and they never will, I hated them back then and I still hate them today!" Kripa glanced at Angad's face, perhaps they could remember the rest of this mystery with one another's help. Maybe, just maybe this puzzle could be put together.

"I'm fine Angad, don't worry I just have to restart my heart again!" I flashed him a smile, as he turned his gaze back towards me, a smile breaking on his face. "Um, how about we get out of here, I think It's time we got off a deadly cliff!" Angad joked hoping to lighten the sudden tense atmosphere. Kripa flashed him another smile, and within one swift movement hugged Angad, feeling peace at last. Angad stood frozen, not sure whether to pull her back into a hug or let her hug him. Finally he let his heart decide, and hugged Kripa back, the three powerful words automatically slipping through his mouth. "I love you Kripa, I really did love you, you don't know how hard it was for me to leave Prithivi in the jail and rush back home, and the new day I saw you white, pale and lifeless; I can't bear to go through that not again. I died once in your memories this time I plan to die with you at the same time!" Kripa listened with her eyes closed, yet Angad felt the sudden stiffness in her hold.

He let go carefully, "Kripa um, is everything okay?" Kripa glanced at him, her cheeks slightly rosy from their contact, and because he said he loved her. "Yeah, Angad how about we go to a nearby park, I think its about time you and I understood one another, and I think we have to talk anyways, about the situation we are in!" Kripa's voice went slightly cold at the moment. "Sure! Let me try and get the car started again!" Angad said turning around to open the car, meanwhile thinking, why the hell am I so damn formal with her, she is one gorgeous lady, not only externally but internally, her eyes are the most beautiful thing about her, so gorgeous and easily readable. And when she hugged me, it felt right as if I had just gotten twenty-four years of peace, something I have been thriving for since I first met her. He stopped surprised with his own thoughts but smiled shyly. He had fallen in love with her in just one week, this girl had managed to drive him crazy, with her beautiful eyes, her smile and her innocent little actions that drove him crazy; oh how badly he wanted to tell her he loved her. Not only because somehow both of them knew they were meant to be but because he truly had fallen in love with her now as well.

"Angad, I know that we just met a week ago, but there is something about you that I want to learn, your family, your likes dislikes everything about you, and yet somehow I feel as if I already know them. But still I want to hear more about you so perhaps we both can remember the past much more clearly. "I think so too Kripa, you know you're a very gorgeous girl, hmmm I think me and you would make a perfect couple!" Angad said cheekily finally coming back to his informal and flirty ways. Kripa laughed, her laughter startling Angad, "Wow, you have a very cute laugh, just gorgeous like you!" Angad said lost in her eyes.

"Thank you!" Kripa murmured and continued on, "let's start the questions"

"Favorite color?" Kripa asked, "black!"

"Favorite food?" - "ummm, let's see I think it'd have to be no…I don't know lol! I have to many"

"Favorite show?" - "none"

"Favorite thing about a girl?" - "her eyes"

"Favorite place?" - "Bungalow 25 Andheri Road!" Angad blurted out, and then paused, "that's weird, I have never been there before…." he turned his gaze back to Kripa hoping to find some answers there.

"hmm, how about favorite gemstone?" - "topaz"

"Favorite person to talk to when your upset?" - "Kiran or Aditya bhai" Angad said suddenly stopping again, "Kripa can we do something else, I keep blurting out answers I don't even consider and when I mean to say something I say something else first…..like I don't even know a Kiran! Or I might but I don't think I've dated a Kiran before!"

Kripa nodded and looked towards the gorgeous view in front of her, the sun was just starting to set, the sky a gorgeous red, orange and bluish color. She watched fascinated while Angad watched her expressions bemused. "you like the nature krips?" Angad asked casually. Kripa cheekily smiled, "I love it, there are so many mysteries behind it that I fell in love with the way the colors fell together!" She spoke dreamily. Angad glanced at her and smiled, "hey Krips I think Its time I should drop you back home, it's getting quite late!" his voice turning cold suddenly. Kripa turned her gaze back towards Angad bewildered, it was only 6:45 p.m. and here he was trying to get rid of her, but instead of speaking her mind Kripa just nodded reluctantly and followed him back towards the car.

The drive back towards Kripa remained quiet, an odd tension filled the air for both Kripa and Angad. Their past or someone else's past was haunting them deeply and whoever had the answers to them was not available, but who were they to ask? NO one had answers, so they thought. "Goodnight Kripa!" Angad smiled and pressed a soft kiss against her cheek, surprising Kripa. With a flush of happiness on her face, she slipped out of the car and waved goodbye as he headed back out the driveway. "So cute!" Kripa screamed and jumped in the air rushing towards the house.

However, on the way back for Angad towards his home, just outside Kripa's home, a gang of men pushed themselves on top of a younger woman! Angad watched with furious eyes, and quickly stopped the car in hopes of helping the young girl. "Hey get your *** off of her!" Angad screamed grabbed two of the boys from behind and flinging them away. With that he grabbed the other two and punched them in the gut, not bothering to protect himself from any harm. "you touch her again, I swear you won't go home with the same complexion!" Angad screamed punching them either in the stomach, the gut, or in the face. Eventually when Angad refused to stop, the boys ran off. Angad turned back around to stare at the shaking girl, "are you okay?" Angad asked his voice softer but his eyes still sharp. She glanced at him and nodded carefully, hoping to cover herself up. "Here!" Angad said taking off his jacket he put it around her.

"Tha….thank you sir!" she barely managed to squeak. "do you need a ride somewhere, I don't think its safe for you to go alone and that too this time!" she nodded carefully, and walked towards the passenger door. Twenty minutes later Angad dropped her off at her home, her family lay awake frightened, worried that their youngest daughter had not reached home safely. With a comforting smile on his face, Angad took her hand and walked inside, "Aunty, uncle, she's fine she just got a bit lost on the way so she is shaky!" She turned to stare at him surprised by his blunt lie. Angad smiled back and nodded. "Thank you beta for helping her!" her parents thanked him before taking her inside.

"Angad how are you? You look worn out!" Aditya commented as Angad stepped into his room. Angad smiled I'm great bro, but there is something I would like to share with you, on the way back some goons were harassing a young girl, one look at them I immediately remembered Kripa's face. I was more furious then ever, although I hated this since I was a child but I felt more hatred after picturing Kripa's face. I saw pictures, her face was clear bhai, she was wearing all white, she looked pale and was broken, marks all over her body. I think our past wasn't great bro, whatever or whoever had harmed Kripa in the past …" Angad stopped he was too tired and confused.

Aditya watched perplexed, "I think you are starting to remember everything, anyways I just wanted to let you know we have to leave for Rajasthan tomorrow!" Aditya said, "its important we will be back in two days!"

"Riddhima, I have to leave, this is the last time I can talk to Angad and Kripa together before Angad leaves to Rajasthan in a few hours!" Armaan called towards Riddhima hoping that she would understand and cover his shift for a few hours, just a few hours. Riddhima nodded but then stopped, "did you just say Kripa?" Riddhima asked confused. Armaan turned his attention back towards her, "yeah why?" Riddhima blinked, "you mean Kripa Sharma, right?" Armaan glanced at Riddhima surprised and nodded carefully.

What Armaan wasn't expecting was a loud scream of excitement escaping from Kripa, "oh my gosh Armaan, Kripa, Kripa Sharma is my best friend, I haven't heard from her since I started off in this career, how is she? Oh my gosh I can't wait to talk to her, do you mind if I tag alone. Please?" Riddhima begged. Armaan broke off into a smile, "of course! But don't forget this is very important, I am not going there to have fun, something that has been happening to both of them for years has troubled their lives and what's better is they are connected in a way….."

Riddhima stared at Armaan, as both headed towards the caf, "all this happened to Kripa and she never even bothered to tell me? Even when we were younger she never said anything about it…."
