Harshini loves Prithvi.I hope she get his love in return too.
Kripa ,She is epitome of beauty with brain....Wish she would get her Angad back.

dil ki aawaz na jaane pahunche kahan

par tasavur mein uske beqrar hain yahan

intezaar ke ye lamhe dheeme se hain badh rahe

becheniyon ki agan se yun hain lad rahe

kehta hai dil aane wala hai woh

tere khwabon ki nagri ka shezada hai jo

hai usko bhi bas talaash teri

dur pare duniya se jo ho meri

thanks for pm.
love

Thanks Ritu!
Yes, Kripa will have to be very brave to face this tough ordeal in her life. But she is a strong girl inside inspite of her delicate beauty.

I wish kripa meet angad soon ... thank you for such a great and mind blowing part ... misty and all khanna family look like running behind angad's money

Thanks monu!
Angad's relatives are greedy and selfish. But are they killers too? Mishti har waqt un dono per nazar rakh rahi hai, Z-K have to be careful....Zaib is smart and fast too. Hes had a tough life....

Social service and Nishant... 😆 😆 Yeah Zaib is not the social service type, is he? 😆
Hes more the deadly avenger type.
Zaib didnt go against his family based on letter but what he heard from Angad ....that someone was trying to kill him....
Story is finalized now, nothing will change it....
Dilip is bechara in this story, hes not the villain in any way.
DMG mein Ridz ko lekar tug of war chal raha hai ya phir like that oldie movie shes being passed from one to other? Yeh phool tumharey liye hai, Dilip Babu.....nahin nahin tumharey liye... 😆 😆

DECEPTION…..PART 10

Kripa was gazing at Avantika's portrait when her eyes fell on smaller framed pictures on the mantelpiece. She was thrilled to see Angad's photos there as well! First one showed Angad as a little boy with his parents, holding both their hands. A fond smile broke out on Kripa's lips, he was so cute and handsome even as a child!

There was one of Angad as a young boy, around 9 or 10, sitting on a horse, holding its reins, with mountains in the background. She felt a sliver of excitement to recognize the tabletop hills of her hometown. That must be when he went on vacation there as a kid!
She wondered with a sense of thrill…did we pass each other on Mall Road back then? Were we destined to meet only as adults?

There was Angad as a young man at his college graduation, looking smart and distinguished in his cap and gown. Looked like some foreign University graduation. And in the last one, he was just in a formal business suit, suave, dashing, a charismatic smile on his chiselled lips!
Her heart gave a little leap, he looked exactly as he had on that first day she met him for the first time in the Boardroom. Smart, sexy, compelling!

She took down the photo and kissed him softly. Two teardrops fell on the glass frame as she caressed his beloved features and whispered words of longing….Oh Angad! Tum kahan ho? Kaisey ho? I miss you so much! Kaash parson aaj hi hota, main tumhey dekhney ke liye taras gayi hoon….ab aur intezaar nahin hota, tum jaldi se theek ho jaao, main tumharey paas aa rahi hoo…

A sudden husky whisper behind her neck made her jerk in shock: Apney jazbaaton per kaboo rakho! Yahan deewaron ke bhi aankh aur kaan ho saktey hain!
She looked back with a startled gasp. She had not realized when Zaib had crept up behind her! He was as silent and swift as a leopard!
He was leaning so close, his lips almost touched her pale cheeks: Be careful! Angad tumharey saath hai, tum apney pati ke saath ho, uski tasveer dekhkar roya mat karo!
Im sorry! …she whispered as she realized her blunder…. Ayinda aisey nahin hoga….
For a moment, his piercing eyes fixed with deadly intensity on her moving lips. Kripa shivered inside with a strange sensation that he had touched her….with his eyes.
Then he straightened up with a bored look: Ab dinner ko chalein?

She nodded and looked away from that disturbing gaze. But his arm suddenly wrapped around her delicate shoulders as he bent to give more hushed instructions: Aaj se ..abhi se hamara naatak full-time chalu. Agley 48 ghantey tumhey yaad rakhna hai….main Angad hoon, hum dono ki nayi shadi huyi hai, hum ek doosrey ko behadd chahtey hain, samjhi?
She gave him a weary sidelong glance and softly concurred: Haan, yaad hai..
Good! ….he squeezed her shoulder, she stiffened in discomfort, he warned her again: Relax! Tum aisey sehem jaogi toh logon ko shaq hoga….just relax! Yeh sab ek naatak hai!
She breathed deeply and forced her senses to stop from reacting to his touch. As long as he didn't try to be intimate, she supposed she could bear his touches…

Zaib hid a smile and shepherded his reluctant wife down the passage to the grand staircase that led down to the dining room and Main Hall. At the bottom of the staircase, they paused uncertainly. There were two doors on the left and 2 doors on the right. Which way was the dining-room? Both were at a loss, both in the same boat, newcomers in a strange house. But Angad was supposed to know his whereabouts. Zaib and Kripa looked at each other anxiously.

Kripa pointed tentatively to the right: Mujhey lagta hai iss taraf hoga.
Zaib stared at the indicated door and shrugged: Chalo, try maartey hain. We might get lucky!
Just as they were turning to the right, the 1st door on the left opened and Gauri stepped out and called them : Arey Angad! Kripa! Tum dono wahan kyun jaa rahey ho? Dining room toh iss taraf hai!
Zaib whipped around with a disarming grin to cover up his folly: Bhabhi, main Kripa ko ghar dikhaney jaa raha tha….
Wo main usey dinner ke baad dikha doongi….Gauri smiled…ab tum dono merey saath aao, sab table per intezaar kar rahey hain!

The two conspirators followed Gauri sheepishly into a formal dining-room. The Khanna family was assembled at an elegant 12 seater dining table, spread out with expensive dinnerware and sumptuous dishes.
Damini greeted them in her habitual rebuking tone : Sab tum dono ke liye wait kar rahey the! Kitni der lagaa dee!
Zaib forced an apology: Sorry Chachi jee, thakaan kuchh zyada hi thi….fresh honay mein time lag gaya…
Hum sab thakey huey hain, Beta…..Chachi wasn't appeased and thinned her lips: Isiliye toh jaldi dinner karna chahtey hain.

Mishti watched them with her usual smirk but didn't pass any of her insinuating remarks.
Chachajee defended them as always: Ab jaaney bhi do, koi pahad toh nahin gir pada…
Damini sniffed with an injured air: Khair, tum dono yahan baith jaao…Tejdhar, dinner serve karo!

She seated them at one end of the table. Kripa noticed the chair at the head of the table was empty.
Chacha jee saw her wonder and explained: Wo Bhaisaab ki kursi hai, wo toh ab yahan nahin rehtey, lekin unka chair ab bhi khali pada hai…
Kripa wondered why Angad's dad had to go live in Khandala in seclusion? Was it something to do with Avantika Mom's secret?
However, Chachajee was like Laxman to Dad's Ram, preserving his chair at the dining table.

Kripa was relieved to see everyone converse normally at the dining table like a regular family.
Chachajee asked Nishant: Beta, kal ke party ki tayyariyan ho gayi?
Nishant raised his head: Jee Pitajee, sab kuchh ready hai. Kal subah decorators aa jayengey, Caterers bhi stall lagaa dengey.
Aur gaaney bajaney waley?
Nishant smiled: DJ aur music sab fixed hain. TV ka wo singer bhi aa raha hai perform karney…
Chachajee nodded happily: Bahut badhiya! Koi kamee nahin honi chahiye! Aakhir Angad Khanna ka Reception hai! Kyun Beta, theek kaha naa mainey?
He turned to Zaib who managed a bright smile: Yes, Chachajee. Khanna parivaar ki shadiyan hamesha rocking hoti hain!

Mishti agreed instantly: OF course! Meri shadi mein toh aisa dhoom dhaam hua tha….. her eyes sparkled as she started talking about her own wedding and reception and the conversation gradually veered towards their usual guests and relatives.
Kripa felt Zaib stiffen beside her. He must be as totally clueless about those people as she was….how would he manage to keep up the act at the party tomorrow? That will be their real test! HIS real test as Angad!

Kartik suddenly addressed him: Angad! Kal subah Land Development Corporation ke saath hamari meeting hai, yaad hai naa?
Zaib looked startled for an instant, then quickly covered up: Yes, Kartik Bhaiyya, I will be there..
Chachajee protested: Kal Angad ka reception hai, kal ka meeting tum hi sambhal lo, Kartik!
Kartik drawled: Dad! Kaam kabhie shadi byaah ke liye nahin rukta! Business is business! Angad should be there! Hes the MD, uskey signatures ki zaroorat hogi!
Kripa quickly glanced at Zaib. So now he will have to fake Angad's signatures too.
Zaib's jaws tightened in tension. The task of impersonating Angad wasn't easy, he knew it! He would have to prepare for it tonight!

Gauri looked at the the silent new bride: Kripa, tum bahut chup chaap ho! Sab kuchh theek toh hai naa?
Kripa quickly smiled: Haan Bhabhi, main theek hoon…
Gauri nodded in understanding: Naye ghar mein pehli raat hai. kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat ho toh mujhey bula lena. Intercom mein extension 2 daba dena..
Thanks! Kripa smiled with gratitude. It was such a relief to have Gauri on her side.
Gauri looked at her saas: Mummy Jee, reeti ke anusaar kal Kripa ko sabkey liye khana banana padega naa?
Damini pretended like she had forgotten: Arey Haan, main toh bhool hi gayi thi. Kripa, kal subah tum aur Gauri milkar nashtaa banana. Tumhey halwa banana aata hai?
Kripa nodded silently but Mishti commented: Mujhey toh lagta tha tumhey rasoi nahin aati! Aakhir parents ki laadli beti ho….
Kripa's eyes flashed proudly: Jee, nahin. Bachpan se Dadi aur Mummy ne mujhey cooking bhi sikhaya hai…
Chachajee smiled fondly: Bahut achhi baat hai, Beti! Phir toh kal subah tumharey haath ke garam garam parathey aur halwa ke mazey lengey sab….
Jee, Chachajee! Kripa nodded shyly, stealing a glance at Zaib who seemed lost in his thoughts. She was doing fine in her performance but he seemed to be slipping, she thought smugly.

After dinner, Gauri kept her promise to show Kripa around: Chalo, Kripa main tumhey ghar dikhati hoon.
Kripa followed her out of the dining room. Zaib tried to follow them too. He actually needed a tour as well.
But Kartik called out to him: Angad! Tum kyun ladies ke saath jaa rahey ho?
Mishti cackled: Baat ko samjho, jahan Kripa jayegi, wahan wo bhi jayega naa?
Zaib looked embarassed but Kartik wasn't amused: Agar aapko apney biwi se fursat miley, can I have a word with you about tomorrow's meeting?
Zaib had to agree inspite of his reluctance: OK, Bhaiyaa, lets go…
They slipped into the office room in the back of the Main Hall and closed the door.

Gauri took Kripa around the ground floor first. The first door on the right opened to a spacious sitting room with 2 different sofa sets matched with coffee tables and set at angles to each other. Kripa stared with blatant awe at the plush dcor and expensive decorations. The more she saw the more she was amazed at Angad's wealth. His demeanour in Mahabaleshwar never fully revealed the extent of his riches.
Next, Gauri took her to the 2nd room on the right, which seemed to be an Entertainment room with a wall-built stereo, giant TV, comfortable couches and magazines and books on the walls.
Gauri informed her with a laugh that Khanna men relaxed in this room with the kids.

Kripa could well imagine Angad relaxing on the couch, beer in hand, watching cricket, his favorite sport. Her heart ached with a deep longing again. What she wouldn't give to have him here with her…
Gauri crossed the hall back to dining room and took her through to the kitchen on the side of the house. Even the kitchen was bigger than most people's bedrooms. It was filled with all kinds of modern gadgets and 2 shiny cooking ranges.

Gauri explained: Jab hamari parties hoti hain toh kamsey kam 150 log invite hotey hain naa…tab yahin per khana bantaa hai…
Kripa asked curiously: Toh phir kal reception ke liye bhi yahan banega?
Gauri shook her head laughingly: Nahin nahin, kal toh kul milakar 400-500 guests hongey. Unkey liye Catering ka bandobast kiya hai. Wo log sab kuchh banakar le aayengey.
Kripa's head spun….500 guests! All coming to see her! How would she interact with them, without Angad's presence and support? Even Zaib was a stranger to them! Kal kya hoga….tension gripped her.
Gauri saw her nervous expression and pressed her arm : Don't worry, Kripa, hum sab tumharey saath hongey naa! Main tumharey paas khadi rahungi aur sabko tumsey introduce kar doongi. Aur phir Angad bhi toh hai naa….
Kripa forced a smile and nodded. She was overwhelmed at the enormity of Khanna family's fame and fortune. Nothing in her small town background had prepared her for this.

Gauri just indicated the two last doors on the left: Wo dono office rooms hain, ek Angad ka aur doosra Kartik Bhaisaab ka…
Aur Nishant Bhaiyya ka office? ..Kripa couldn't help asking.
A shadow passed over Gauri's beautiful features: Unka office nahin hai, unka office hamarey suite mein hi hai…

Kripa realized Nishant didn't have much importance in the family business. He was soft-spoken, mild-mannered and probably didn't have what it takes to do business. She wondered if Gauri ever resented that fact…
So Kartik and Angad pretty much ran the business. She stared at the office doors and wondered how Zaib was faring, if Kartik would suspect his ignorance.

Gauri took her upstairs and showed her the 6 bedroom suites, 3 on each side of the stairs. Each suite had a bedroom, a full bath and a small living room, just like a Hotel suite. Each suite was identical to the one Angad inhabited. Kripa silently thought….yeh log ghar per bhi Hotel ki tarah rehtey hain. But in a way it gave each couple the privacy they needed. Off the left hallway were suites belonging to Chacha-Chachi, Nishant-Gauri and a guest suite. On the right, it was Angad and hers, Mishti and Kartik's and an empty one previously inhabited by Angad's parents.

Kripa hesitantly asked: Kya main andar dekh sakti hoon? She was curious about Dilip and Avantika…

Zaroor! Gauri smiled and opened the door: Tumney toh abhi tak Tayajee ko dekha bhi nahin…

Kripa went in and looked around at the rooms. Gauri told her they had been preserved exactly the way they looked when Avantika passed away: Sab cheezein waisey hi hain jaisey do saal pehley the….kisiney bhi touch nahin kiya….
Kripa had to ask the question which bothered her: Gauri di, Dad ne yeh ghar kyun chhod diya? Wahan Khandala mein akeley kyun rehtey hain?

Gauri looked a bit surprised: Angad ne tumhey nahin bataya?
Kripa flushed: Unhoney kaha Dad ke tabiyat ki wajeh se doctor ne recommend kiya…
Haan, wo ek vajeh hai, yahan Mumbai ki weather unkey liye achhi nahin thi isliye doctor ne unhey kisi natural jageh per rehney ko kaha, lekin aur bhi vajeh hain…

Kripa looked questioningly.
Gauri turned somber: Darasal Tayajee yahan rehna bardasht nahin kar sakey. Tayijee ke death se wo toot chukey the, uskey 2 mahiney baad hi unhey stroke ho gaya. Yahan iss kamrey mein unhey Tayijee ki bahut yaad aati thi isiliye Khandala ke farmhouse mein rehna hi unkey liye behtar tha…

Kripa bit her lower lip. Dilip must have really loved his wife! He never got over her death….or was it something else? Did he actually find out about Abhi? About his wife's deception? Did that shock destroy his health?
Maybe she would get the answers when she would meet him finally the day after….

Gauri smiled: Ab chalein? Raat bahut ho gayi. Tum so jaao, Angad bhi jaldi aa jayega. Aur yaad rahey, mera extension hai 02. Koi bhi zaroorat ho toh intercom se bula lena…
Kripa thanked her sincerely and retired to her own suite. She took a quick shower and changed into a nightdress.
Zaib suddenly entered the bedroom, back from his meeting with Kartik. He looked weary and tensed. Kripa self-consciously pulled on her dressing gown but he didn't seem to notice.
He curtly told her: Main nahaa leta hoon…and disappeared into the bathroom.

Kripa unpacked some of her clothes and placed them in her new white wardrobe. Suddenly her eyes fell on the black wardrobe on the other side of the room. Angad's wardrobe! Curiously, she went over and opened the door.
Neatly hanging inside in perfect order were shirts, suits, trousers, dozens of them. On the top shelf, casual T-shirts, jeans and shorts were neatly folded in layers. On the bottom shelf a row of matching shoes lined the front. Kripa smiled, Angad was such an organized person! It was so rare to find such a neat guy!

She suddenly recognized one of the blue shirts! It was the one he was wearing when he had driven her out to the viewpoint, where they had kissed for the first time! Her heart gave a little leap of remembrance. Again that deep longing pierced her heart. She pulled out the shirt sleeve and held it to her cheek, caressing it, holding it lovingly, imagining it was Angad's arm...

Suddenly a wet, brawny arm stretched out above her head and pulled out a black T-shirt. Kripa gasped with surprise, startled at this sudden intrusion. She whipped around and was confronted with the most disturbing sight! Zaib's massive bare chest was right before her nose. It was slightly wet, gleaming with drops of water. Her horrified eyes dropped lower! He was wearing only a short towel! Kripa trembled with shame! She closed her eyes, afraid she would see more than she had bargained for.
Zaib's husky chuckle did nothing to quell the shaking in her limbs: Sorry, main kapdey lena bhool gaya tha!

She opened her eyes and looked up. She felt a deep stab of shock, his eyes were green as the day he was born, gleaming with a wicked light. A mocking smile curved his sensuous lips. She could smell his after-shave and soap on his bare, buff body ….her heart fluttered crazily in her breast. His overpowering masculinity overwhelmed her, rattled her, unsettled her!
She felt weak, feminine, helpless in front of his raw, physical force. And she didn't like that feeling! She resented it deeply!

She gulped tremulously and licked her dry lips. His eyes promptly fixed on her moist lips and a gleam of desire sparkled in its green depths. Kripa shook nervously. She suddenly remembered Angad staring at her lips at their first meeting. Her fear abated a bit….the two brothers were too identical in everything, even in the way they looked at her!
Did Zaib desire her? She hoped not….what if he…..if he tried to kiss her…she shook her head and demanded in a shaky voice: Excuse me! Let me pass…..

Zaib seemed in no hurry to move, enjoying her discomfiture and her red faced embarassment. He could swear her pulse was reacting to his body.
He leaned over her petite form indolently : Aisi bhi kya jaldi hai? Biwi ka kaam hai husband ko kapdey supply karna, why don't you help me find some night clothes?
She hissed at him through trembling lips: Yeh Angad ke kapdey hain! Tumharey nahin!
So what? He shrugged carelessly: Main apney Bhai ke kapdey nahin pehen sakta? I don't think he would mind sharing….baaki sab kuchh toh share kar raha hoon..
Kripa knew he meant her! She flushed angrily, her eyes throwing fiery darts at him: Tum khud nikaal lo! Now Please move out of my way!
He grinned then, disarming her with his sudden charm: Please, Kripa, merey liye ek black pants dhoond do naa….I cant see it, shayad tumhey mil jaye…

When he asked so nicely, she couldn't be rude anymore. She grimaced, turned around and reached up on tiptoes, groping the top shelf for a pair of long black pants that he liked to wear. But being a shortie, she couldn't reach it properly.
Suddenly his hands grabbed her waist and he lifted her off the floor. Kripa gasped and yelled: AREY AREY! Kyaa kar rahey ho?
Tumhari madad kar raha hoon….his deep voice had a mix of amusement and mischief.
Kripa was trembling like a leaf in his hold but somehow gritted her teeth against the sensations his touch provoked and quickly fumbled through the stack of folded clothes till she discovered a pair of black sweatpants.
Yeh lo!… She dumped it on his leonine head unceremoniously.

He shook it off to the floor and let her down, but his hand lingered on her curving waist. His pulse was racing, heart pounding like a sledgehammer. He had a deep urge to pull her back against him, press her into his hardness. For a moment, Kripa feared that he would do something as his warm fingers tightened on her waist, but then he let her go and stepped aside.

Kripa turned at once and slipped out of his near embrace, heading for the safety of the bed. She dived into bed and closed her eyes, still shivering from her close encounter with the Devil! She thought she heard him chuckle and opened her eyes.

He was changing right there! He had dropped the towel and she got a glimpse of his taut, gleaming buns! Horrified, she squeezed her eyes shut and turned her back on him! Besharam! Kambakht! Zara bhi sharam nahin! Itna bhi yaad nahin ke main uskey Bhai ki amaanat hoon aur Angad ke theek hotay hi hamari shadi ho jayegi! Ullu ka Pattha! Naalayak! She cursed him vividly in her mind.

She heard him approach the bed and stiffened nervously. The bed sunk under his weight as he settled in. Her heart jumped violently. She turned over, facing the other way. She felt him rise and cringed, expecting him to touch her or "do" something. But he was only fluffing his feather pillows.
He switched off the bedside lamp and drawled : Good night, Biwi! Sweet dreams!

Biwi! My foot! Main tumhari temp biwi hoon, Mister! She muttered furiously.
He must have heard her for he chuckled : Don't worry, I wont touch you! …he whispered in the dark.
You would not dare! She whispered angrily and shut her eyes tight.
He sighed and relaxed slowly as his aroused senses calmed down. And more morbid, worrying thoughts crept in. He had plans for the night. But he would have to wait till his pretty little bride went off to sleep.

*********************************************************

A half moon played hide and seek in the clouds. Restless ocean waves swished in the distance, beyond the high walls of this seafront property. All was still and quiet in the Khanna mansion. Not a creature stirred in the house, all habitants deep in exhausted slumber after a week of hectic wedding functions.
A tall, dark figure crept silently out of bed. He paused for a moment and looked down at the beautiful girl sleeping soundly on the other side of the bed. She had been tossing and turning for the first 2 hours but now seemed to be in deep slumber. He swiftly went to his suitcase and took out a black mask and gloves. He had bought them the day of pagpheri when Kripa was at her maayka. He slipped them on. Now he looked exactly like a dangerous burglar, dressed all in black with black gloves and mask. Even if someone spotted him, they wont recognize him.

He slipped silently out of the suite, making sure to keep the door unlocked but closed. He sneaked down the stairs and slipped noiselessly into room after room, checking the layout of the house, memorizing it so he wouldn't be caught on the wrong foot! Last of all, he entered his office/study where Kartik had almost nailed him that night.

Kartik wanted to discuss tomorrow's meeting in detail and Zaib had to use all his wits to get out of it!
Bhaisaab, ab shadi ke chakkar mein sab kuchh dhundla sa ho gaya hai. I have to catch up with the documents. I am also very tired. Can we discuss this tomorrow morning?

Kartik had looked at him strangely for a few moments and then smiled at the earnest look on his cousin's face: I understand! Hamari bhi shadi huyi thi, humein bhi yaad hai pehley kuchh din kaisey the. OK, we will discuss the details before the meeting. Waisey bhi meeting gyarah bajey ki hai, we will have enough time in the morning.
Zaib had almost let out his breath in relief, he grinned: Thanks, Kartik Bhaiyya! Good Night!

Now he sneaked back into Angad's office and approached the desk. Everything was neatly organized and docked in their proper places. He pulled out several files marked with names of their latest Real estate projects. Luckily, he also found the file marked Land Development Corporation. Khuda ka shukr hai! He had all night to study that. His eyes fell on Angad's laptop. He grabbed it at once with a satisfied grin. Once he got into the system, he would gather all information he needed to conduct Angad's business. Armed with the files under his left arm and laptop in his right arm, he sneaked out of the office. Suddenly he froze at the sound of footsteps. Someone was up and about! He hid behind a pillar supporting the dome of the Entrance Hall. The person passed him. It was Teddy/Tejdhar!

What was Teddy doing here at this time of night? Zaib scowled with growing suspicion.
But Teddy just walked into the dining room and walked out with 2 bottles of cold water. He went up the stairs, yawning. Zaib realized one of his indolent relatives must have asked for those bottles.
Yeh ameer log bhi kaisey ajeeb hotay hain…he mocked silently….khud ek glass paani bhi nahin le saktey!

He waited behind the pillar till Teddy trudged sleepily down the stairs and then ambled to the back door, probably headed to the servant quarters in the back. The coast was clear. Zaib crept up the stairs, armed with his precious loads. The hallways were clear. He thought he heard a child cry in Nishant's room, probably Dipu had got up and asked for water. He slipped swiftly into his room before anyone opened their doors at Dipu's crying. He locked his door and sat down on the couch in the front room.
First of all, he switched on the laptop and tried to log in to Angad's account. After several tries, he managed to log in.

Zaib hacked his way into Angad's files and studied them thoroughly. He memorized all the names of Angad's closest business associates and their companies, tried his best to understand what kind of business Angad did with them, who was a contractor, who was a supplier, who was a Government agent, buyers, and so on. Luckily, he even found a list of wedding guests that Angad had compiled and went rapidly through them. He tried to find those guys' photos on business sites and did manage to find several of them. Now he felt more confident about the Reception tomorrow.

Lastly, he opened the Corporation file and studied their rules and stipulations. Zaib was a street smart guy, a maverick. He had grown up the hard way and lived by his wits. In very little time, he had the gist of what he was supposed to do at the meeting tomorrow. Basically he had to sign an agreement binding his company to adhere to Government rules and regulations so they would allow him to buy their land and develop it for commercial purpose.
He found some documents bearing Angad's signature, a boldly scrawled AKhanna...he practised copying it several times till he got it near perfect! Now he was ready! To be Angad Khanna!

It was nearing dawn, when Zaib finally closed the last file and yawned tiredly. He looked at his watch. It was almost 4 AM. Now all he had to do was sneak downstairs and replace everything in the office. He went the same way he had gone before and managed to return everything in its proper place. He crept back upstairs undetected.

Zaib slipped carefully into bed and gazed at Kripa in the pre-dawn light. She was sound asleep, her face turned his way. Her cheek rested on one hand, lips pouting like a child's. She looked so beautiful and innocent in her sleep, the lovely vision took his breath away! Myriad feelings bubbled in his heart, affection, love, desire, all mingled together in a glorious fusion. He couldn't help himself. He bent towards her and gently kissed her forehead. She frowned slightly in her sleep, then smiled a little. She must be dreaming of Angad!
Zaib sighed and laid back on his pillow. Kaash Kripa, main tumhey bataa sakta ke sachchai kya hai….kaash bataa sakta main tumhey kitna chahta hoon…..his eyes closed finally as the first rays of sun hit the windowpanes.

Thanks for the PM😊.Another wonderful part👏.If Angad was there Kripa would have discussed regarding the childhood photos and enjoyed seeing them😉.Both ZK got themselves lost in the new household😆,they went right,but the dinner room was located to the left😆,Gauri came at the right time to take them to the dinning room😆.Hope they don't repeat the mistake😉.Seems like ZK not only got lost,but also lost themselves 😆in such a luxurious and the beautiful house😆.Damini and Mishti doesn't leave a chance to taunt ZK😡.Chachajee seems like good,but when u get caught in a game of deception u can't trust anyone.Even the most trustable person turns into a traitor.Hope nobody mixes anything in the halwa Kripa going to cook the next morning.It's fine Gauri showed her around the house😃,Zaib could have a little help from her😉.Kripa wouldn't have expected to see a such luxriuos house😉.Feel sorry for Kannan,how must she have felt😭 when she came to know Nishant doesn't have one.Zaib almost escaped Karthick's enquiries😉.It must have been really horrible for Kripa to see Zaib in such a state😉😆,bechari girl.Zaib is using chances to embarass her and enjoy his fun times with her😉.He doesn't leave a chance to embarass her with his naughty taunts and looks😉.He knows her attraction to his body since he is a twin of Angad😉,and using it to increse her pulse.Hope he don't become more intimate with her😉."Main apney Bhai ke kapdey nahin pehen sakta? I don't think he would mind sharing😉….baaki sab kuchh toh share kar raha hoon.."😆gosh what Kripa would have felt when he said this,Zaib is too much.Seems like Zaib can't keep off his from the girl who😉 stole his heart,seems like he will get more attracted to her when he hears she sing😃,hope Kripa doesn't sing any romatic songs infront of him which will increase his desires more😉.Kuch toh sharam nahin hai Zaib ko,changing right there😉😆.Oh god what more than this Kripa could have go through than this😃.It was fine he Zaib stole those files and Laptop and read necessary informations.Now he will be able to manage the reception guests😊.But what will he do when it comes to indimate frienship,for sure many don't know Angad has a twin😕,hope he manges them.But his actions and thougts make wonder whether he is saying the truth to Kripa😕.Wonder what the truth is😕,is Angad safe?Is Ziab doing this all to get the property or Kripa?Continue.............
