Part 21:The man named Josh waved a hand, and everyone except, The Khanna's (Dilip, Naina, Angad, Meghna), and The Sharma's (Prem, Prithvi, Kripa, Roshan), were taken outside. As soon as the guests were taken out, Josh turned around smirking and walked out through the back door. Both the families were pushed behind him, until they reached two black cars with black tinted windows. One of them was an expensive BMW, while the other was big van. The men threw everyone inside the van which had only two doors, one at the trunk which was tightly locked , and one in the front where two men were guarding it. They were driven to an unknown destination.
"Angad, what is happening?", Dilip whispered furiously. Angad kept looking around the car and outside trying to figure out where they were going, and how to escape. When Dilip was ready to shout, Naina, and Prem stopped him. Angrily, Dilip leaned against his seat.
"Angad,", Prem spoke sternly in a low tone,"we need to know what all of this is about. Please.". Angad sat up in his seat, his eyes showing only sadness. "You all will get to know, soon.", he paused," I am really sorry putting your lives in danger, I really am. But I didn't have any idea this would happen. You must trust me. I don't know where we are going to but, I will figure something out when we get there. I promise, I will get you all out of this.".
"But what is all this in the first place, Angad?", Prithvi asked curiously. "Who is this Josh? What does he want with us?", he added. "And how do you know -", Naina was interrupted by one of the men two men who sat beside the door. "Are you people talking at the back?", the man said turning around. "No talking!", he stated, glaring at them.
Kripa shifted uncomfortably in her place. She didn't know for how long, they were sitting in the moving car with anger, fear and confusion filled in the atmosphere. She looked around. When everyone was sure that they would be driven around for quite sometime, they decided to listen to their instincts, and then automatically, one by one they all fell asleep, tired, and restless. Dilip had one his one arm around Naina while the other held Meghna's hand. Meghna had Roshan on the left, who had his arms draped around her. Prithvi was sitting opposite his brother. Between Prithvi and Kripa was Prem seated uncomfortably. It was when Kripa lifted her head from Angad's shoulder to look at him, that she she discovered he was awake.
She gazed into his gray eyes, by the help of the small tube light that was hanging from the roof. Guilt, and fear filled his eyes again, but this time with such intensity, that Kripa felt all the energy and strength in her body being replaced by weakness and fear. "Angad, what's going on?", she whispered a little anxiously. He closed his eyes for a second, letting a few tears escape, and then opened them again, pulling her closer and enclosing her hand with his own. "Kripa,", she heard his low hoarsed voice.
Guilt was spreading like an uncontrollable disease within him. He had put not only his family, but also Kripa and her family in danger. He wanted to protect her, and everyone else that was here. He wouldn't let anything happen to them because of him. They were all innocent.
And he would understand, if she was angry at him. It would only be natural. But a part of him hoped that she would believe him, and not blame him. A part of him hoped she would understand that this was all his past. The past that he had left months before he even met her.
Unable to think of anything else, he simply told her the one thing that made him strong and fearless, in a situation, he knew, as dangerous as this - "I love you." .
Kripa smiled despite all her questions, all her fears - despite everything. She knew he was guilty. She didn't know what everything happening was about, but she knew it was deeply connected to Angad. And she trusted him. Even though, his own eyes said that he was at fault, she knew he was changed man now. Of course, he would be blamed for his fault, but she also knew that he would be sorry for what ever wrong he had done, and would try to make it better.
But she was sure he did not, and would not do wrong to anyone, it was what she had discovered in the past three weeks. Her mind suddenly replayed the scene of night that took place three years ago. She was so sure now that he wasn't in his senses that night. She wanted to let go of all of it, and just live happily with him. But she knew she had to tell him. And she was scared how his reaction would be. He would hate himself, she was sure. She didn't want that, yet she had to tell him. But later, she thought, not in this situation. There was already alot of tension around them.
Pushing aside all those thoughts, she wiped Angad's wet cheeks with her fingers, and kissed his lips lightly before resting her forehead on his cheek. She held him tighter, when she heard his heart pounding against his chest. He wasn't scared for himself, she knew. But he was definitely scared for her and both the families.
"Are you upset?", he spoke in a light scared tone, caressing her hair. "No.", she said looking up at him. "I trust you Angad.", she continued honestly. "Thank you,",Angad said cupping her one of her cheeks, "that means alot to me.".
When Angad saw Kripa's wet eyes smiling at him he lowered his lips unto hers, and pulled her into a passionate kiss.
