The next day, angad came back home late,
"Loh angad aa gaya. Tum bhi na, bataya toh tha dinner hai. Fir bhi late." Angad came in and both the Khanna and sharma family was their, sitting on the sofa.
"who sorry mom, I got a lil late." He said looking at kripa who was looking absolutely beautiful.
[she was wearing this

they stared at each oder 4 a minute and then josh said,
"hey buddy", he gt up and they shared a hug. "congos angad. You and work?? Main toh shock hi ho gaya tha. But then I think it was high time u realized ur responsibility."
"ya, I guess it was really high time I realized my responsibility to manage my issues", at this he and kripa stared at each other, turning to josh he said, "I mean work."
"Achcha angad, josh, baatien kam, kaam zyada….. sab table pea a jaiye. Dinner ready hai." Gayatri called all of them. The seating was like this:

KRIPA gave glances to angad at regular intervals. She was worried that he might say something. But angad had something else on his mind. He wanted kripa back. Back at all costs. He wanted her to be his and not ne1 elses…..And he wud do anything to get her abck.
"Achcha josh," angad said to josh, while others were in their own talks except kripa who had sharpened her ears to hear what he had to say,
"Who tumne TETRA pharmas ka tender bhara hai?"
"haan, but its not worth the trouble. Who kabhi hamaara nahi hoga. Tetra aur manchanda ka tie up hai. Its impossible ki koi aura a ke sigh kar jaaye." He said casually.
"nahi josh. Iss baar yeh tender manchanda ko nahi milega." Anga said sounding very casual.
"Achcha?" josh was interested, "toh kise milega?"
"hamien."
"kya?" josh was shocked, "angad, uss tender ke sapne dekhna chod do. Who tumhe nahi milega." He was now laughing at what angad had said. "who ek cheat tender hearing hai. Tum apna time waste mat karo. Pichle dus saal se who manchanda ko mil raha hai. Y wud it b any different now?"
"Because this time Angad Khanna is handling this project." He said with tones of attitude.
"Anagd, aise attitude se iss tender ko mat bharo."this time it was dadi who had been haering the conversation. Angad looked up at her and knew what she had just said was not meant for his business, it was meant 4 his determination to take revenge from kripa. Kripa whereas was simply staring at her plate, hoping that nothing wud go wrong.
"Dadi ab mujhme itna attitude aur himmat hai toh main kya karun. I hav that much potential dadi." He said without any second thought.
"Angad relax." It was mishty. "go slow on your first project." And she placed her hand on top of angadds which was reting on the table. Angad looked at kripa and she looked at their hand and then at angad. She then went to stare back at her plate.
At last naina said,
"I hope tum sab ki baatien khatam ho gayin hain." Turning to gayatri she said, "gayatri aao, desert lane mein meri help kardo." They got up and within a few seconds brot chocolate mousse and brownies. [yummmyyyyyyyyy………..mummmy mujhe bhi khana hai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
after they ahd all finished angad got up and left. He went straight to his bedroom, sat on his bed and thot,
'aaj who kitni sundar alg rahi thi.kripa tumne mujhse mere khushi cheen li. Aur mere dadi bhi ab meri anhi rahi. But…. But I am still strong. Strong enough to get my happiness back. Tumhare iss jhoote rishte ko main tod dunga.' And then somebody knocked on his door,
"angad" it was mishty.
"haan, aao mishty." She came and sat beside him, "so first of al congratulations angad." He got up n said,
"kisliye?"
"arre bhai 4 joining business." She got up and held his hand.
"tahnx mishty, but I m really notw ell today. Bahut thak gaya hoon. Kal milte hain na." he wanted toa void mishty. After all, he thot, he wasn't like kripa who played with peoples hearts. He knew that she was taking his friendship the wrong way. And he wanted to clear it all up, but at a suitable time which was definitely not now.
Mishty was a little crestfallen, but nonetheless said,
"Theek ahi angad. Take care. Goodnite." And left.
He went to stand at the window and saw josh and kripa come out of the house. Josh held kripa from back. And angad felt a pang of hatred, jealousy and pain.
'how cud u do this to me, kripa. Mujhme kya kami thi. Aisa kya ha josh mein jo mujhme nahi hai?' he thot and opened a bottle of alcohol and gobbled it.
This song played:
Dil ke jo armaan the, dil mein hi reh gaye
Aashiqui jo kee toh ham, ashqon mein beh gaye
Gham ka fasaana hai, dard ye puraana hai
Itna bhi koyi yaad aaye na rabba
Zindagi mein koyi kabhi aaye na rabba
Aaye jo koyi toh phir jaaye na rabba
Dene ho gar mujhe baad mein aansoo…
Toh pehele koyi hasaaye na rabba
Zindagi mein koyi kabhi aaye na rabba
Aaye jo koyi toh phir jaaye na rabba
Dene ho gar mujhe baad mein aansoo…
Toh pehele koyi hasaaye na rabba
Toh pehele koyi hasaaye na rabba
And he cried.
