Angad and Kripa are on this long curving road. Kripa looked around at the breathtaking scenery that enveloped her from all sides. She was amazed that here in Mumbai something looked this good. Usually you would have to drive for quite a while to get away from the busy and noisy streets of Mumbai.
"Angad?"
"Hmm."
"Where are we going?" Kripa asked.
"Angad took his eyes off of the road and looked at Kripa, "You will see in about 10-15 more minutes!"
"ANGAD! Come one please tell me!" Kripa whined sticking out her lower lip making Angad just melt.
"Nope Kripa. Sabar ka phal meeta hota hai!" Angad said laughing.
"Fine! I am not talking to you then!" Kripa said in a-matter-of-fact tone and then turned her head towards the window and kept on marveling at the beauty around her!
*-*-*
After about 10 minutes the car stopped but Kripa was looking out the window and just staring at this big field of flowers that had a big tree to the far left and a tire swing was hanging off of it. Kripa didn't notice tat the car was not moving anymore. When Kripa finally noticed she stuck her tongue out at Angad and then got out of the car.
Angad then walked after her. "Come one Kripa we are here now please forgive me!"
Kripa looked at Angad long and hard in the eyes. "On one condition…."
"Anything!"
"Catch me if you can….." And saying that Kripa ran off with Angad close behind her. After what seemed like ages finally caught her and he picked her up from behind and swung her in the air. Angad and Kripa were laughing like crazy.
"Gosh Kripa where did you learn to run like that?" Angad asked.
Kripa just hit him playfully on his arm.
*-*-*
Angad and Kripa were walking on a hill by the water hand in hand when Kripa took her eyes off of the lake and stared at Angad.
Angad noticed her looking at him, and he smirked.
"I know I'm good looking, but did you actually want to say something, Kripa?"
Ahh! He's such an egotistical prat, thought Kripa.But I still love him!
"At every moment do you have to boost your ego, Angad? And yes, I did have something to say. It's just that you've acted so different these past few days. You have acted in a way that I could've never imagined from you…." Kripa noticed the look on Angad's face quickly continued "I don't mean to bring back old memories but this is bugging me. What changed your opinion about me? You always hated me for some reason, and then when you found out 'mystery girl' was me you all of a sudden wanted to be with me! Why?"
"Well nothing really has changed, or maybe, something has, but I just don't know. I mean that masquerade ball night just changed me for some reason. I never had that connection with anyone before. It felt good and I was hungry for that feeling because it made me feel complete. Then also after that whenever I would get mad at you I would feel like such a jerk and I would curse myself for acting like such an idiot because you didn't do anything! I guess a part of me was really hoping that you were my mystery girl…" Angad said now facing Kripa and unconsciously pulling her closer and closer.
Kripa noticed this though and just when Angad was about to kiss her she pushed him away and then ran…..Angad just stared after her with a goofy smile on his face. BUT that smile wasn't there for long. Kripa lost her footing and was tumbling down straight for the water. Kripa couldn't stop herself and soon he saw her petite body hit the water and go under….
Angad looked for a sign of her returning above the water but all in vain. Angad was scared like crazy. He was never this scared in his whole life. Angad didn't know if Kripa could swim, but he sure knew that he could but he wasn't the best. He knew the basics.
Angad pushed all the negative thoughts aside and took of his shoes and socks and threw them aside. He then threw off his shirt. Angad jumped into the water. It was dirty like crazy but he strained his eyes looking for Kripa. She was nowhere in sight. He swam up to the top of the water for breath but something was holding onto his feet. Angad was loosing breath. After a while all that could be seen in the dirty water was seaweed, algae, rocks/stones, liter, and the lifeless body of Angad Khanna.
*-*-*
Kripa had come out of the water a few feet behind where Angad was standing she was drying her clothes and when she looked up she saw Angad jump into the water. Kripa thinking he could swim didn't do anything. Angad didn't come out of the water for ten minutes Kripa was really worried. She jumped back into the water and saw Angad's lifeless body. She tried to pull him up but something was holding onto his feet. She went to where his feet were and saw his feet were tangled in a bunch of seaweed and algae. She tried to pull it off but it would not budge. Kripa looked in Angad's pockets and saw he had a pocket knife. She took it and cut the seaweed and in the haste she also cut her hand. Kripa put the main in her hand aside and focused on Angad.
Kripa used all her strength to pull him up out of the water. She dragged him to the grass away from the water and start giving him compressions. Water was coming out of his mouth and the color was returning to his face but Angad was still unconscious and he had very irregular breathing.
Kripa decided she had to give him CPR. She pinched his nose and tilted his head back and then gave him a breath every 5 seconds. She did this 3 times. Then she gave him 15 more compressions. She checked his pulse and it was better now. She decided to do it one more time to be on the safe side. Kripa leaned down to give him his breath when she felt Angad kiss her.
*-*-*
ANGAD'S POINT OF VIEW
I was better. I was still cold, and my breathing was messed up but I wasn't unconscious right now. I woke up and I saw Kripa over me giving me breaths. I figured she was giving me CPR. When she leaned down to give me my breath I kissed her.
*-*-*
Kripa pulled away immediately and saw Angad smiling back at her naughtily. Kripa couldn't help but smile. Angad guessed that Kripa saved him. Angad then noticed Kripa's hand was bleeding profusely.
"Kripa, what happened to your hand?"
"Oh that might have happened when I used your pocket knife to cut the see weed that was tangled around your foot."
"Kripa!" Angad groaned. "Don't ever put your life in danger to save me. I am not worth it! Your life is more precious than mine." Angad then went and got his short. He ripped off a piece of the sleeve and then tied it around Kripa's hand to stop the blood. "Now come on I might have some towels in the trunk of my car that we could use to dry off with….."
*-*-*
Kripa and Angad dried off. Angad had brought a picnic basket that he brought for them to have lunch with, but since neither of them have eaten anything and it was almost lunch time so they had a little picnic under the tree.
Angad lay in Kripa's laugh will Kripa just ran her fingers through his hair.
"Angad?"
"Yeah!"
"Can you push me on the swing?" Kripa asked. She has been dying to go on the swing.
Angad just laughed, "I have been waiting for you to ask about that. Sure, come one!"
And the rest of the day Angad and Kripa spent time with each other enjoying each other's company…..
