A: What the……Josh…..what is all this nonsense…….He asked as he read the article……..
Simone Kaul, Angad Rathod's college lover who was recently killed in the car crash, had named Angad Rathod as the father of her 4 year old Son……Her sister Sheetal Kaul had recently found this out and issued a legal notice against Angad Rathod for giving her child support. She had claimed charges against him, as Miss. Simone was forced to leave the college and had to bear the humiliation due to Angad Rathod, 5 years ago. Simone's Son Neev Kaul is now under the supervision of court and Sheetal had applied for the child custody claiming to be her aunt…..
Angad read the article stunned…..Simone was dead? And she had named him as her child's father? When they had not even shared a kiss together?………He felt sick at how low Simone had gone…….He closed his eyes to calm down his anger……..
J: I know Angad, this is out of blue…..But is there any chance that this news might be true……
A: No…..!!! Josh, tum jante ho, ki mera Simone ke sath koi rishta nahi tha……For God's sake, we did not even kiss…….It was her who tried to and I set her straight……Aur uske baad usne kya kya kiya pata hai na tujhe……he said angrily…..
J: Calm down friend……I know, just wanted to confirm it from you……But look, this is looking bad…….you have to go there and sort this out…..or else it won't be good…….Aur business par, Kripa par, tumhare family par saab par asar ho sakta hai……He said seriously……I am sure 2-3 dinon mein vahan sabko pata chal jayega……and you know this press, they will start looking for stories…..He said sighing…….
A: I know…..Angad said tired…..God what a mess……He regreted the day he met Simone…..
J: Thik hai Angad, mein rakhta hun, koi help chahiye ho to phone karna……Sorry tumhara party kharab kiya…..par I thought you should know before hand, so you will be ready to face the people and tell the truth…..
A: Thanks Josh…..you are right…..thanks for informing me…..Mein rakhta hun…..badmein baat karte hain…..he said switching off the phone…….He stared at the article once more and banged the table in frustration……Why was life always throwing thorns in his way……Just a couple of months ago, he got back his life after months of misery, and again this……he closed his eyes and leaned on the table……He knew, he had to go to London soon…….With heavy heart he went down and tried to mingle around…..But his mind was on the article and his plan to solve the issue…….Kripa noticed his silence, but kept quite…..She knew, something was bothering him……..After 2 more hours, slowly people started leaving congradulating them once more…….Prateek was also getting all cranky and Avantika asked Kripa to go and rest……..
A: Ek minute ruk Kripa…..she said and went and bought some thing in her hand…..Jara tum donon ki najar to uttar dun…..she said with a smile……Kripa smiled at her and waited…..once she was done, she kissed her forehead and asked her to go…….Kripa left to feed Prateek and make him sleep…….There was still no sign of Angad, when she came out of shower after an hour or so…..She sighed and sat on the bed tired, with a happy smile……..The party went through wonderfully...Divya came in with a glass of milk for her and Kripa thanked her taking it…….
K: Bhabhi Ayush so gaya…?
D: Haan Kripa abhi thodi der pehle sogaya……Thak gaya tha shayad……
K: Hmmm…….kitna khud raha tha…..usse dekh dekhkar hi mujhe thakan lag rahi thi……she said chuckling…….
Divya smiled nodding at her …..They talked for 5-10 minutes and then Divya took the glass after Kripa was done and went out……..
Kripa was all ready to sleep, after waiting for an hour or so, when Angad came in…….Kripa smiled as she saw him coming, but her smile turned to a frown when she saw his dejected face……..She immediately got up and went to him…..He was so deep in his own thoughts, that he did not even noticed her…..Kripa went and kept a hand on his arms and he jerked out of his thoughts…….He looked at her blankly for couple of seconds, then another thought made him freeze……What if Kripa didn't believe in him……What if she feels he had betrayed her trust, what if she leaves him……what would he do then.…..He closed his eyes in agony……
K: Angad, kya hua…..? Itne pareshan kyun ho? She asked with concern……Angad opened his eyes, hearing her concerned voice…….no matter what, he had to tell her this, before any one else tells her…….It was sure that the news would follow them till tomorrow and it will be all over the place……….He looked away for coupleof seconds and gathered his courage……
A: Kripa, tumhe mujh par bharosa hai? He asked slowly……Kripa frowned at him……
K: Yeh kya keh rahe ho Angad? Ye achanak kya ho gaya tumhe….?
A: Mere sawalon ka jawab do Kripa……Kya tumhe mujh par vishwas hai? Agar mein tumhe kuch bataun aur kahun ki woh jhoot hai, to tum mujh par yakeen karogi? Mujhe chod to nahi dogi na? He asked looking away……Kripa looked at him stunned, his voice echoed his pain……why was he all of a sudden asking this question, that too after they had such a nice time together…….what insecurities had made him ask this? Kripa slowly kept her hands on his face and made him look at her……
K: Mujh se jyada mujhe tum par yakeen hai, Angad……Hum to ek dusare ki jaan hai, jeevan sathi hai, mein tumhe kaise chod ke ja sakti hun……Tumhe chodne ka khayal bhi mere dil ko bechain kardeta hai….Mein tumhe kisi bhi haal mein nahi chod sakti……She said slowly kissing his cheeks…...Aab batao kya baat hai? Kyun itna pareshan lag rahe ho? Angad gathered her in his arms and hid his face in her neck and hairs……..hugging her tightly…….Kripa hugged him back with concern…….It was not like Angad, to be so worried over small small things…….She knew that there must be some serious issue, due to which he was so worried….…she slowly rubbed her hands up and down, comforting him and urging him to tell her what was wrong……..Angad then slowly stood back and held her hand and took her to the pc and opened the article…..Kripa looked at Angad's photo on the front and then frowning, sat down and read the article……..dumbfounded…..Yeh kya hai, Angad.….she asked looking up at Angad and then continued reading it…….Once she was done, she sat there stunned……Slowly she looked at Angad, who was sitting on the bed with his hands on his face…….That moment he looked so much tired and worn out…….She slowly got up and sat down near his leg and looked up at him……..Yeh wohi hai na, jiske baramein tumne mujhe bataya tha……? Jisne tumhe fasaya tha, aur Josh ne tumhari madad kit hi……! Angad looked at her and nodded looking far…….Then he again looked at her and looked in her eyes directly…..
A: Yeh saab jhoot hai Kripa……Mera uske sath koi rishta nahi tha…….meine to usse ek dost ke alawa kuch nahi mana tha……..par usne…..he shook his head…….I regret the day I met her...…Mein nahi janta tha, ki usne aisa kyun kiya……..Shayad paison ke liye, shayad mujhe badnam karne ke liye, ya shayad mujhse badla lene ke liye…..mera yakeen karo……ye saab jhoot hai….Mein ne apni zindagi mein sirf tum se pyar kiya hai, aur sirf tumhare sath rishta banaya hai, kisi aur ke bare mein kabhi na socha na kisi ke kareeb gaya kabhi……he said closing his eyes tiredly…….Kripa kept a hand on his and smiled with love and hugged his ..waist……
K: Mein janti hun Angad, pura bharosa hai mujhe tum par…...Tumhe mujhe batane ki koi jaroorat nahi hai…..mein to padhte hi jaan gayi, ki yeh saab jhoot hai……Mein to iss baat se hairan hun, ki koi ma apne khud ke bache ke sath aise kaise kar sakti hain, itna kaise gir sakti hai, woh ma to chali gayi, par uss bache par kya gujaregi, jab usse ye pata chalega ki uski ma ne kya kiya hai…...she said patting his hands and looking at him…..Angad slowly looked at her with tears and pulled her up and hugged her tightly…….He was so relieved to know that she trusted him…….
A: Thanks Kripa mujh par yakeen karne ke liye…..he whispered hugging her……
K: Apnon ko thanks nahi karte, aur waise bhi Angad, pati patni ke rishta mein vishwas na ho to woh rishta kaisa? Kya tumhe apni Kripa par bharosa nahi tha, ki woh apne Angad ke dil ka haal na jaan sake? Usski sachai uski ankhon mein padh sake…..Mein tumko janti hun Angad…….mujhe tumpe pura vishwas hai, tum to kabhi aise kar hi nahi sakte…...
A: Kripa mujhe London jana hoga…….Wahan DNA testing karke, ye saab clear karna hoga……Aur phir jo charges Sheetal ne lagaye hain, usse bhi prove karke sachai age lana hai……Kripa looked at him and nodded…
K: Mein bhi aungi tumhare sath……she said looking at him…..
A: Nahi Kripa, abhi to ayi ho…..tumhe to aaram karna chahiye……Itne din saab kuch akele sahti ayi ho..…wahan phir se akeli ho jaogi, koi khayal rakhne ke liye bhi nahi hoga……mein case aur inn saab baton mein uljha rahunga…….nahi, tum yahin ruko…..
K: Nahi Angad, haar halat mein tumhara sath dene ka wada kiya hai meine……to aaj kaise tumhe akele jane dun, jab tumhe meri jaroorat hai…….She said looking at him…….Aur mein akele thodi na rahungi iss baar, tum ho na mere sath….
A: Mein to tumhara guneghar hun Kripa…….Mein ne to haar mushkil ghadi mein tumhara sath chod diya, phir kyun?……He said looking at her with tears…..Kripa sighed……
K: Angad, biti baton ko bhul jao……Aur age ka socho…...She said looking at him sternly…….Aur mein kuch nahi sunungi…….mein tumhare sath aa rahi hun…….she said frowning at him…….
A: Kyun London ka Art padhna baki hai kya? He asked with eyebrows up……Kripa chuckled and hit him in his arm and hugged him……Angad slowly sat down and kept his head on her lap and sighed………Kripa slowly caressed his hairs and looked at his closed eyes, tired face…..Just couple of hours ago, there had been so much happiness on his face, looking at everyone together again, holding his son proudly and suddenly……..She kissed his forehead lightly……
K: Aab mein ek pal ke liye bhi tumse alag nahi rehna chahti…..Aur woh testing, case, yeh saab, kab tak chalega kya pata….She whispered in his ears, and kept her head on his…..Aab jahan jayenge sath jayenge……Angad smiled slowly at her words, but did not open his eyes……..Kripa could feel his mouth lifting below her face……..she smiled slowly knowing she had made the right decision……Though he showed that he could do this alone, she knew that he needed her, now more than ever and she was not going to desert him again, she had already given him enough grief to last a life time…..
A: I love you….he whispered slowly…..Kripa slowly raised her head and looked at him…..
K: I love you too…….she said slowly combing his hairs away from his face…….Chalo Angad papa ko yeh baat batana jaroori hai…….nahi to agar kal ke akbar mein ya office mein pata chala to bahot badi problem ho jayegi…Angad nodded and slowly got up, he kissed Kripa's forehead affectionately and looked at her once more, just to make sure that she really believes in him…….Kripa smiled at him and hugged him tightly…….Mein humesha tumhare sath hun Angad……Agar ye bacha tumhara bhi hota na, to bhi mein usse apna leti…..tumhare liye, humare liye……Par tumhari baton par bhi pura bharosa hai, agar tum kehte ho ki tumhara uss ke sath koi rishta nahi tha, then I believe in you, tumhari baton par vishwas hai mujhe…..she said sighing……Angad kissed her ears and neck lightly hugging her for a moment more…..slowly they parted smiling at eachother and took out the print out of the article and went down……..Everyone was sitting in the hall talking about todays party and relaxing a little…..As soon as they saw them, they smiled…….
S: Aao beta…..baitho…..Surya said looking at Angad…..
Av: Kripa Prateek so gaya?
K: Haan ma……she said smiling and then looked at Angad and nodded…….
D: Kya baat hai Angad, tum dono pareshan lag rahe ho…..he said looking at them with a frown, when they stood there silently……..Angad sighed and then showed him the printout……..Dilip took the paper with a frown and his eyes widened………he got up from the seat at once and looked at Angad……..Yeh saab kya bakwas hai Angad……..He shouted angrily……Everyone got up and looked at Dilip and Angad with a frown……
Ka: Kya hua papa? He asked going to him…..Dilip handed over the paper to him and looked back at Angad…….
D: Kya yeh saab sach hai….? What is all this nonsense? He asked once more…….
A: Of course not dad………Yeh saab jhoot hai…...he said looking at him…..
D: Phir ye? Tum Simone naam ki koi ladki ko jante the? Kya rishta tha uske sath tumhara?
A: Dad, yeh sach hai ki mein Simone ko janta tha, woh mere class mein padhti thi…..hum ache dost the……aur kuch nahi…..
Av: Agar aur kuch nahi tha, to ye, usne tumhe kyun apne bache ka pita likhvaya……aur ye case jo iss ladki ne khola hai…..uska kya matlab hai…...Sach sach batao Angad….she asked frowning…..Angad sighed looking at Kripa who nodded and kept a hand on his for assurance…….he then told about his and simone's friendship, then how she had tried to develop friendship into some thing more and then how she had wrongly accused him of using her and trying to rape her and how Josh had helped to prove the truth in front of everyone……..Everyone were stunned………
D: Angad, tumne yeh saab batein hume nahi batayi? Itna saab ho gaya, phir bhi…….? He asked angrily……..
A: Papa, woh bhaiya ke shadi ke baad hi hua tha, aur phir 4-5 dinon mein usse nikal diya college se…….Saab thik ho gaya……so he shrugged……..
Surya and Gayatri exchanged worried glances…….Avantika was also shocked to hear about this latest news……She looked worriedly at Kripa, who was looking down……Even Divya and Kartik stood there stunned…..
A: Papa, mein jald se jald London jana chahta hun……he said looking at him……Dilip looked down at the article and sighed nodding……There was no other way……They had to solve this problem and soon…….
K: Ma, mein bhi Angad ke sath jana chahti hun…..She said looking at Avantika…….Avantika frowned…..
Av: Beta, tum aur woh bhi itne chote bache ko lekar, akele? Abhi 15 din bhi nahi hue tumhe aye aur abhi phir se……Kripa went to her and touched her arm…..
K: Mein thik hun ma, mujhe please jane dijiye……she said looking at her with pleading eyes…….Everyone looked at her and Avantika worriedly……
G: Bhabhi jane dijiye isse, waise bhi yahan maan nahi lagega iska……wahan Angad ko bhi sath ho jayega……..she said looking at Kripa and Angad……Angad looked up at her and smiled gratefully, for believing in him…….
Av: Par Gayatri, abhi Prateek bhi to kitna chota hain…….Aur delivery ke baad to kitni kamjoori hoti hai, Waise bhi sara pregnancy akele thi, pata nahi achi tarah khati bhi thi ya nahi……koi dhyan rakhne wala bhi nahi tha….abhi to Kripa ko ache khane ki aur aaram ki jaroorat hai, wahan tension mein, khana pina bhi thik se nahi hoga, aur usse Prateek par bhi to asar hoga, tabiyat wagera kharab ho gayi to...…phirse itni dur……aur Ayush…..she said looking worriedly…….Kripa too became quite hearing his name…….Couple of weeks back his reaction to not have found her after getting up still replayed in her mind……Kripa eyes shone a little and she was trying hard to blink them off……Divya looked at her concerned, she could see that she was trying hard to hold her tears. ……But did not say any thing as all the elders were talking……..
Ka: Nahi ma, Ayush thik rahega yahan……Kripa Angad tum log jao aur yeh saab jald se jald suljha do……Nahi to aur bhi problems hongi……….Aur waise bhi yahan hone se acha, Kripa wahan rahegi, to uska tension bhi kaam hoga, aur Angad bhi to hai na uske sath, woh khayal rakhega Kripa ka….…He said looking at them, he knew Kripa would want to go and support Angad, she would not be happy here, neither would she be able to eat properly, knowing Angad is tensed and alone there, she was only hesitating because of Ayush…...He found Divya looking at him worriedly when he blinked and nodded at her, putting a hand on her shoulder………
K: Par Kartik bhaiya, agar Ayush phir se…..she said looking down, still not looking at them…...
Ka: Kripa mein janta hun ki tumhe uski chinta hai, par abhi ye case suljhana bahot jaroori hai…..company ka reputation ka bhi sawal hai……aur sirf paison tak simit ho to thik hai, par hajaron workers ke liye problem ho jayega…..aaj tak tumdonon ne jitni mehnat se usska itna naam badhaya saab mitti mein mil sakta hai……Hum dekhte hain, agar Ayush bahot hi zid karne laga to mein Divya ko Ayush ke sath wahan bhej dunga baad mein…..filhal tum donon jao aur yeh saab clear karlo…..Kripa nodded slowly, still a little concerned over Ayush…..
Dilip and Surya too agreed after a little while, that it was best to first clear out the mess and Kripa's presence might have positive influence in it….Avantika agreed reluctantly……she was worried about Kripa's health….she had already been alone all through her pregnancy and now this……They retired to their rooms deep in their own thoughts…..Gayatri and Surya did not interfere in the matter much, just patted and hugged Angad and Kripa, saying everything would be alright……Angad nodded with tears thanking them with his eyes and went up with Kripa…….
Divya was worried about Ayush as well as Kripa…..She wanted to go and talk to Kripa, but it was already too late and she knew that Angad Kripa needed some time together…….she walked in the room and looked at Ayush, who was sleeping peacefully……Kartik came behind her and saw her looking at Ayush…….He sighed and went to her and hugged her…..
Ka: Tum chinta mat karo Ayush ki...woh thik rahega…..nahi to tum thode dinon ke liye chali jana Kripa Angad ke paas……Divya nodded sadly……
D: Kartik, kyun humesha Angad Kripa par koi na koi musibat ate rehte hain, meri wajah se haar baar takleef ke siva kuch na mila……abhi abhi to mile hain, khush hain…..aur aab phir se ye……Aaj sham tak saab itna khush the, naach rahe the, ga rahe the aur achanak se..…she said sadly…….Kartik sighed and caressed her hairs…..
Ka: Jo hua usse bhool jao Divya…..pata hai asan nahi, par aab kitne din apne aap ko kosti rahogi…..He said kissing her gently……Divya looked up with tears……
D: Kartik mein khush kismet hun ki aap saab ne maaf kar diya mujhe…..Kripa choti hokar mujh se samaj mein kayin jyada age hai aur usne bhi maaf kar diya, mein ne bhi Kripa ke kehne par khud ko maaf kar diya, par mein bhooli nahi hun Kartik, ki meri wajah se unki zindagi mein itna tufan aaya hai…...she said looking at him……Kartik looked away for a second and then looked at her with a sigh…….Aur mein kabhi bhoolna chahungi bhi nahi…….yeh meri galtiyan, mujhe yaad dilate rahegi ki mein ne saab ko kitna dukh diya…..kitna tadpaya……taki age chalkar mujhe se kabhi aisi bhul na ho..…She said hugging him tightly closing her eyes as tears poured down her cheeks……Meri wajah se kitna saha hai un donon ne, kaise saab kuch bhool jaun mein……Chah kar bhi nahi bhool sakungi...magar jis din galti ka ehsaas hua uss din se Kripa ke haar ek ansu mujhe chubte hain, mujhe mere galti ka ehsaas dete hain……..Kartik did not say any thing, but just comforted her……Kyun unki kismet haar baar unke khushi ke ade aa jati hai, kabhi apnon se aur kabhi dusaron se dukh ke parchaiyan phaila dete hain……
Ka: Pata nahi Divya……Shayad Srinathji unki pyar ki pariksha le raha ho…..he said worriedly…….
Kripa and Angad prepared for their trip to London over next couple of days…….As predicted the news got around and papers were filled with stories about Simone and Angad…….People were shocked and disgusted……Some did not believe the story and knew that Angad was trapped……Dilip called a press conference and asked Angad to speak up and tell the truth……They even talked to a lawyer that if case starts then they need witness for telling the truth about what happened all those years ago…..He even suggested a simple suggestion, telling them to go for DNA test with the girls permission and they will not have to go to the court at all…….After rewing all the options and talking to Josh about the witness issues, they were all set to go according to what lawyer said……..Josh assured them that, he would come within a day, if need be and even told them that he still has the recordings and contacts of many fellow students who could testify agaist Simone……Angad thanked him and promised to be in touch.…..… Avantika took care of their packing as well as Prateek and asked Kripa to rest..……Angad and Kripa left for London within 3 days with Prateek…... Ayush was all in tears and crying, but Kartik and Divya told him that theywere going to London too, as soon as they get the tickets…..Atlast Ayush agreed and bid tearful bye to Kripa…….. Gayatri, Arjun and Surya stayed with them till Angad Kripa left and then shifted to their house
Angad and Kripa were booked in a one bedroom furnished apartment, which was owned by an Indian family, who also provided them with all Indian groceries in the kitchen on Kartik's request…….So Kripa and Angad were settled after a good nights sleep…….Prateek was also ok……..They planned on meeting Sheetal the next day and called her on her cell phone……She was not ready to talk to Angad and asked him to meet her in the court, but when Kripa called her and requested her, finally she agreed…...Sheetal asked them to come to her house, as Neev, Simone's son was living with her for now………
They went to the given address and rang the bell…..Imidiately a petite young girl not more than 20 came to the door and looked at both of them……She stared angrily at Angad and walked in, leaving the door open…..Kripa and Angad exchanged looks, Kripa nodded at him and they walked in slowly…..looking around the old house…….It was rarely furnished…….A comforter lay on the floor and books as well as some toys occupied the side of the house, while a small table and couple of stools were near the kitchen…….When they went in Sheetal was no where in sight……They then saw her coming with a little boy a year older than Ayush, who shyly looked at them both…..Kripa smiled at him slowly, but Angad looked at the boy with a frown…….
S: So, what do you guys want to talk about….? She asked looking at them…..Prateek started wiggling and Kripa looked at Sheetal…..
K: If you don't mind, can I put him down…..?Sheetal shrugged and looked at them with a frown……
S: So, this is your wife and kid? She asked Angad looking at him with disgust…….Angad sighed and nodded…..So is he…..she said pointing at Neev…..Angad looked at Sheetal with a frown and anger, but then controlled him self, remembering Kripa's words to stay cool as it was not Sheetal's fault…..She was doing what she thought right……
A: Look Miss. Sheetal, I know you think so, but this is not true…….And we have come here, for a request for DNA test, so that your doubts are resolved and you take the case back…..
S: Do you think I will believe you over my dead sister…….she asked frowning at him with disbelief……..Kripa and Angad looked at eachother and slowly Kripa got up……
K: Look Sheetal, I know what you are going through……But the truth is that Angad is not the father of Simone's child…….DNA will prove that for sure, don't you agree…….she said looking at her camly but enough compassion……Sheetal stared at her expressionless…….
S: Why are you so confident……what do you know about it……she asked frowning at Kripa….were you with them when they were in college?…..and if he is not the father, why would Simone name him as one…..out of all the people in the world…..
A: Revenge……?He said looking at her angrily……Kripa touched his arms and he looked at her…..she pointed out to the little boy standing behind Sheetal…..Angad sighed and nodded……..
S: Revenge for what? She asked with a look of disbelief……for taking her out of the college……..yeah, as if that is good enough to name him as his father…….she said with mock laugh, her anger reflecting…She had accussed him of raping her…….May be it was true……may be he is the result of that….she shouted looking at them angrily.…..Angad and Kripa looked up at her stunned……
K: Sheetal, please stay calm and listen to me…...I don't think those words are appropriate to be used in front of the little kid…..she said pointing out at Neev…..Sheetal just looked at them both angrily, but kept quite……Look, what difference does it make to you, if we do the DNA test…..you will know the truth for sure…….You will know if he is the father or not…….I am sure that if we go to the court they will tell us the same…..and looking at you, I don't think you can afford a legal case…….she said looking around……So, why not solve this within ourself……It will be good for Neev as well…..I assure you, we are with you…..We will take full responsiblility if it is proved that Neev is Angad's son…..And will not stop you from persuing the case after that..…..And as per what happened with Simone, your accusations are mistaken, Angad and Josh already proved that Angad was innocent in front of the college and there are many people who would stand there as a witness and vote for Angad's character…….So, please, why don't we start with one thing at a time…….She said calmly, holding on to Angad's arm, asking him to stay calm.……His fingers were tightly fisted angrily at the blunt accusations made by Sheetal……
Sheetal looked at Kripa silently…….Kripa's genuine calm talk was making her more and more nervous……..She looked confident and as she was sure of what she was talking about……..
Sheetal was not sure about it though…….She was a girl living on the edge with a kid to take care of now…..She had not finished her education, due to some personal problems and was waiting tables in the restaurant who had given her this apartment for less……She had thought that atleast now that she found out that Neev's father Angad was rich, she could take some child support from him and could make the ends meet………But the confidence with which they both said that Neev was not Angad's son made her a little alert…..she knew about Simone's wild nature and constant change of boy friends…...So, if he was not their son, they would walk out and she would be left with no support as well as would have to take care of Neev all by herself..…..She would never abandon him, no matter what……because he was the only family, but she also wanted him to have good things in life……and finding out Angad Rathod as his father in his birth certificate was a ticket to their future meals……..When Sheetal did not talk for some time, Angad angrily burst out…….
A: What is your problem? If you are so confident that he is my son, then this DNA will prove it…..Why are you hesitating…..Or are you just doing all this for money's sake……he asked frowning……Sheetal stood straight looking at him stunned, questioning about how did he get to the train of her thoughts ?………
K: Angad……Please…..Kripa said looking at him……
A: Kya Kripa…? Suddenly Sheetal went in the bedroom angrily leaving Neev there…….Kripa and Angad looked at her back and then at the little boy, who was looking at Prateek…….
K: Want to say hi to the baby? Neev shook his head and ran inside behind Sheetal……Kripa smiled as she saw him running……They waited there for Sheetal to come back and she did after couple of minutes……She had a paper in her hand….She went in front of Angad and throwed the paper at him angrily……..Kripa and Angad were shocked at her anger and slowly picked the paper which had fallen down and read it……They both frowned shaking there heads……Angad looked at Kripa and then shook his head, indicating her that it was not true….Simone had indeed named him as the Neev's father in his birth certificate…….Kripa kept a hand on his arm and nodded in understanding…….
S: Want any more proof? She asked looking at them……Angad looked at her and nodded…..
A: Yes, I do……Pick your way……Court or DNA……I am ready for both…..The choise is yours……
Sheetal looked at him blankly for some time……
K: Sheetal, we understand what you are going through, but Simone lied about this…….Angad, never had any relationship with her…..He had just treated her as his friend, but she was not satisfied with it…...
S: How do you know Mrs. Rathod…….You were not even there with them, were you? …..she waited for Kripa to answer, but when she did not, Sheetal nodded…..thought so….So ?……How can you trust him so blindly…..May be he is lying, he may be he really had some thing with Simone, or may be he is still cheating behind your back…she challenged looking at Angad……..
A: You will pay for this…..Angad burst out angrily……I will make sure you rot in jail………But Kripa again stopped him, frowning at him.…….He turned around in frustration……..putting his hands on his hips…..
K: I do…..You won't understand it right now……But, I trust him more than my self…….So, rest assure, don't worry about my trust..…but the point I would like to make is, do you trust your sister as I trust my husband…..If so, you should have no problem to do the test……right…..It will prove what you already know, nothing new would come out of it……she said looking at her…….Sheetal froze for a second……Kripa could see that Sheetal had started having doubts about it, so she slowly continued.…….Look at this from your point of view……It will save you legal cost and if it is true that Neev is Angad's son you get child support and we will even pay for the future legal fees if you want to sue him……..How about this…..? Sheetal looked at them stunned……..But if it is proved that Angad is not the father, then you give the statement to the press and take your case back……I assure you I will support you in both cases…….Sheetal looked at them both and then looked away…….
S: I need time to think about it……she whispered……Angad turned around angrily and was about to say some thing, when Kripa stopped him again, seeing the fury in his eyes.……
K: We will wait for your call……I assure you Sheetal, we will not let Neev down, if he is Angad's son……She said smiling at her gently……This is our address and phone no. You can call us once you make up your mind……
A: Make sure it is quick, or I will make sure that you get the court notice within a week…….Kripa sighed shaking her head but then took out a present she had bought with her to give it to Neev, even though Angad had protested……She went to Neev and slowly bent down and smiled at him…..This is for you……Neev looked up at Sheetal as if to ask permission……Sheetal after a little hesitation nodded at him to take it……She could hardly afford a small toy for him, after paying for the rent and groceries……This would atleast be a little treat……She was not so proud of it, but she would'nt let her ego come in the way of his happiness.…..Kripa stood back smiling at him and then went to pick Prateek gently…….Once ready, she looked at Sheetal and smiled and they went out without a word……..Leaving Sheetal stare at them…….
Part – 62
They caught a taxi and went back to the hotel…..Both in their own thoughts…….Angad a little angry at the turn of events…..He had thought that she would agree for the test immediately…...
After around 3 days there was still no sign of Sheetal…….Angad was getting impatient, but Kripa asked him to stay calm …….She was sure that Sheetal would call them soon……She had seen the uncertainity in her eyes that day….……They talked to everyone at home every day……Kripa talked to Ayush regularly day and night and kept telling him that she would soon come home and but he needed to listen to Divya……Divya some times called at night when Ayush would cry to hear a song from Kripa, it would be afternoon in London and Kripa would sing for Ayush over the phone and he would sleep peacefully...After around 5 days, Sheetal called them in the morning and told them that she was ready for the test……Angad and Kripa sighed in relief and asked her to meet them at the well know hospital they had reasearched about…….
Next day they met as planned and did the tests without a word…….Kripa just thanked her lightly and she nodded……
S: There is one thing, I would like you to do, if the tests prove you are not the father……She said looking at Angad….Angad raised his eyebrows…….I want you to sign over the papers and hand over the custody to me completely……..I know it won't be valid, if you are not his dad, but I don't want to take any chances……She said solemly……Angad sighed and nodded……
K: You don't have to worry about it Sheetal, it will be taken care of……Let's wait for results for now…….Sheetal nodded, took Neev's hand and walked out without a word after that…..Kripa and Angad kept looking at her as she walked away…..They finished the necessary formalities and went home……
At least they were happy that Sheetal had agreed to go with them…….If the case would have started then it would have been months till it would have been resolved…..
Kripa was fast asleep in the afternoon next day, after having lunch……..Angad kept looking at her……He was so lucky to have her by his side……He could not believe that she had trusted him and his words, with out a moments hesitation………He did not know if he could have done the same if the situation would have been reversed…….He had hurt Kripa many times, even before he knew the truth behind them…….So, he was not sure if he would have done any better in this situation……But, when it had come to Kripa, she had handled the situation so much calmly ……Her trust in him, the way she had handled the situation had just made him feel like he had failed her in every test of life…….He sighed looking far…….Thought about the life they had spent together so far…….Why was it that she had so much trust him in and he never could do the same for her, even though she had proved time and again that she was dedicated to him and his family for life…….Why is that he had always failed her, even though she had been by his side, everystep of the way……why could'nt he see through her and know her truth, as she did……..
It was so ironic…….Even though they both loved eachother, there was difference in their love…..Her love was pure and trusting…..Whereas, he had never trusted her enough to stick by his promises, though he had claimed to love her very much……First time, he had not trusted her love in him and doubted her, even though her love was as pure as her friendship, second time he had thought she was not responsible enough, whereas it was due to her that their family was well and blooming……Again he had doubted her when he had thought that she was giving importance to her career, over her family, who had given her so much love and even doubted her love for the child, who she had been more a mother from the day he was born……But she had still kept quite for the sake of her promise and did so, just to keep their family together and she had done it very well indeed……..
But today, when he had needed her, she did that without a doubt, trusting him blindly, as sheetal had put it in words……..Then how come he never could do it for her…….Why did he always failed, when she had passed her test in trusting the one who they loved in one go…….He slowly bent down with tears and kissed her forehead……..As soon as his lips touched her forehead, Kripa opened her eyes and looked at him…….Angad looked away blinking back his tears……..
K: Angad…..she said getting up and putting a hand on his face and making him look at her……..Angad smiled at her, trying to control his emotions……Kya hua Angad……She asked worriedly……
A: Kuch bhi to nahi Kripa…….Sorry tumhe jaga diya…..he said getting up…….Kripa held his hands and pulled him back on the bed before he escaped, knowing verywell that he was hiding some thing from her………Angad looked at her, surprised…….And raised his eyebrows…….
K: Tum mujhse apna gum ek bhi minute chipa nahi sakte ho………she said looking in his eyes…….Batao kya baat hai……Aur ye mat kehna ki kuch nahi……tumhare ankhon mein jo ansu jhalak rahe hain na, ye tumhari baat jhutla denge…….aab sach sach batao……she said caressing his cheeks…….Angad had a lump in his throat……he looked down and kept a hand on her hand, which were caressing her cheeks…..Angad….?Angad slowly looked up…….
A: Kaise kar leti ho Kripa tum ye saab? He asked slowly looking at her……Kripa looked up confused…..Mein ne haar mod pe, har muskhil ghadi mein tumhe akele choda…..Tumpe kabhi bharosa nahi kiya, tumhe samajh nahi paya, tumhara dukh nahi jaan paya…….Phir bhi tumhara bharosa mujh par se bilkul bhi nahi dagmagaya……kaise kar leti ho……Mujh se ye saab kaise nahi hua……Jahan pyar ke har ek imtihaan mein mein haar gaya, wahan tumne pehli hi bar jeet hasil kar li……Apni parvah na karte hue, mujhe sath dene chali ayi aaj…….phir mein ye kyun nahi kar saka.……he said taking her hands and kissing it lightly…….looking at her with tears……Kripa looked him in his eyes and slowly wiped his tears…..
K: Angad, tum hi kehte the na bharosa karne ke liye sach batana jaroori hai……to meine bhi to tum se sachai chipayi thi…….pehli baar Divya bhabhi ki baat nahi batai, phir apne kasam ke bare mein kuch nahi bataya, aur na hi pregnancy ke bare mein……phir bhala tum mujh par bharosa kaise karte….? Mein Imtihaan mein jeeti kahan Angad……Pyar mein koi imtihaan nahi hoti…..woh to ek atut rishta hota hai, jo pyar aur bharose se judta hai……Galti mujh se hui thi, tum se nahi…..Agar mein jhoot nahi kehti, tumhe saab batakar tumhara sath mangti, jaise tumne manga hai mujhse, to tum bhi wahi karte na jo aaj meine kiya hai…….Par ye baat mein samjh nahi payi thi tab…..…Haan agar tum sachai chipakar yahan ate, to mera bhi vishwas dagmaga ta……Dekho na yahi to farak hai hum donon mein…….Tum haar kadam par sach bolkar, mera sath mangte ho…….Par mein ne humesha tumse jhoot keh kar tumhara na chahte hue bhi dukh pahunchaya……To kya hua ki woh jhoot ache ke liye tha, par tha to jhoot hi na…...To agar iss najar se dekha jaye to jeete to tumhi na……mein to tumhare aas paas bhi nahi hun…….Meine uss insan se sachai chipayi, jissase, mein ne pyar kiya, apna jeevan sathi kaha, par har kadam par meine hi tumhe dur kiya, apne dil ki baat na batakar...…Tumne sach keh kar mera sath manga, aur meine jhoot kehkar tumhara sath choda……Pyar ke is imtihaan mein to mein abhi tak utri hi nahi hun……Jeetne ka sawal hi nahi hai phir……She said looking at him with a sad smile…….
A: Jo tumhe thik laga, tumne wahi kiya hai Kripa……mein ne bhi to janane ki kabhi koshish nahi ki, tumhe samajhne ki koshish nahi ki……Par mein wada karta hun Kripa, ki age puri koshish karunga, ki kabhi tumhe nirash na karun……Kripa looked him in his eyes…..she lightly kissed his lips…..
K: Mein bhi wada karti hun Angad, aab se kabhi kuch nahi chipaungi……aisa kuch nahi karungi jis se tumhara dil dukhe……jo bhi musibatein ayengi, sath mein uska samana karenge…….She said smiling at him and hugging him………They stayed in eachothers arms for a long time……
Next three four days went by, Kripa and Angad stayed at home as per Dilip's suggestion, as the press might keep bugging them about all these……Finally courier arrived at their door step one afternoon…….Angad sighed in relief thanking the person and opened the post immediately, after closing the door…….He quickly tore open the envelope and took out the paper…….His eyes widened when he looked at the results…….
The DNA test results were " POSITIVE"………He could not believe it……How was this possible…? He sat on the chair stunned…...He had not even kissed that girl!!! Then how could the test results come positive…...Was there a mistake, or was it real…..he had no idea……His brain was totally blank……He had never even imagined, that the test results would be this……He was so very confident about the paternity…...Kripa came out of their room after she fed and made Prateek sleep……She frowned looking at Angad, who sat there on the chair with a paper in hand, with stunned expression…..She went to him and kept a hand on his shoulder…..
K: Angad…..? She asked frowning……Angad looked at her blankly……Courier aya than a……Reports hai kya?... She asked bending to see it over his shoulder.…….Angad slowly handed over the paper to her and got up……Kripa looked down and saw the paternity test results with wide eyes……her hands slowly slipped from his shoulder, as she looked at him with concern……He walked to the front door and walked out of the house………..Kripa tried to stop him, but he did not listen……she could not run behind him as Prateek was in the house…….She looked at the paper shocked her-self……..How could the test results have come positive…….Angad had himself said that it was not possible at all…..He had no relationship with Simone……..He wouldn't lie about some thing like this….Then how was this possible…….She frowned looking at it once more, then her gaze fell on the cover of the post, which was lying down……She picked the envelope and frowned looking at it……Then her eyes widened……How come there was no seal of the courier by which the this mail was sent……There was not even a return mailing address……Not even a stamp…...The envelope just consisted of their address which was hand written……..She was surprised as well as suspicious…….She had heard the person from the bedroom, saying it was courier……She had received countless couriers from the time she had started doing her phd……Never had any courier come this way……She waited impatiently for Angad to come back, so they could go and find out about this……but after an hour or so, when he was still not back, she packed Prateek's bag and then walked out of the apartment with him……She needed to know about this and soon……
She went to the hospital, where they had done the test and talked to the fornt desk and asked her where she could get the reports.…….They directed her to the lab section……Kripa walked there and asked the lady for the reports of Mr. Angad Rathod…..After checking her passport and relationship with Angad they printed out the report and handed over the paper to Kripa…..
Kripa took the paper and signed the paper, which stated that she received the reports…..Kripa then looked at the reports and saw Negative word written……She stared at the reports in disbelief for some time…..but then sighed a little, but then looked at them confused and suspicious……She frowned and looked at the nurse……….She took out the report she got from the hospital and showed her the same……..
K: I want to know which one is the correct report and why was this delivered to us, instead……….The lady frowned and took the letter and looked at it……..She frowned and looked at Kripa…..
L: Maam, I don't know any thing about this report……..She said frowning……The reports which I gave you just now were the ones which I had just taken out from our database…...I don't know how this letter was delivered to you……But I am sure there was some mistake……..
K: What do you mean there was a mistake……I get this report in courier today and you don't know how we got this……She asked angrily……I want to talk to the head person here…….Now…..
L: Maam please calm down…..Please…..We will see what we can do about it…….She said, getting up from her seat……Please take a seat here…..I will be back soon…….She said going out………Kripa waited for the lady for around 20 – 25 minutes impatiently…….She was back with some one after a few minutes…..Maam, this is Mr. Evans, the Head of our lab department…….
E: Maam, please come this way to my office and we could look in the matter….. please……He said smiling at her slightly……
Kripa nodded and went with him……She introuduced her self and he recognized her at once, from the front page headline….….He looked at the letter, which Kripa had received and the one which was just printed out…...He frowned and looked at the Hospital seal and other details…..He called another person and talked to him about some details and then looked at Kripa, who waited patiently for his verdict…….
E: Maam, I assure you this letter was not sent by us……..We have not couriered your reports…..They were due to be sent today in the evening……he then showed a envelope, which was in Angad's name……..I am my self concerned and shocked, to see the reports you received today……Yeah it has hospital seal and is the very true copy of the copies we make, as you can see, but this reports are wrong and some one from the hospital had done this fraud….. He said thinking about it with concern………
K: But how can so reputed hospital like this, would allow this to happen…..She asked with a frown…….Don't you have any security measures……I mean, this is totally unbelievable……She asked angrily……
E: Maam, I assure you that the original reports are only opened by 3 people who are incharge here and sent or given in confidence after looking at the identities of each person.….One of them, who could see the reports includes me…….They are strictly confidential and no one can access them without our passwords………This reports were printed falsely on the hospital letter head…….
Kripa just sighed and looked down worriedly…….
E: I am sorry about all this maam…...We will immediately start looking into this matter and find out the culpript……Infact, we have already called the police department and let them know about this fraud……We appologise for the inconvenience……I know what you and Mr. Rathod are going through and I will personally write a letter stating about this test and the negative results, for you to prove it in the court, that will be as a evidence as well, saying some one had deliberately changed the reports to trap Mr. Rathod……..I am once again sorry for this…..He said appologistically…….Kripa calmed down a little and nodded…….
K: That's fine Mr. Evan…..I understand…..Thanks for your co-operation, the letter will be a big help……..I have another request…..Mr. Evan smiled and asked about it and Kripa continued …..Can you please check if, some one else other than me had taken the reports…….
E: Sure, I will pull out the details from the register…..He said going out……..Prateek was starting to fuss a little and Kripa tried to calm him down………Mr. Evan was back in 5 minutes and told her that some Sheetal Kaul had come for the reports yesterday……..Kripa looked at him stunned…….Why did Sheetal not contact them yesterday then…..Is it possible that she was the one behind this all…..But then why would Sheetal do some thing like this…..? Why on earth she would change the test results……..It did not make sense……..But she needed to know the truth……
K: Thank You Mr. Evan……She said getting up…..Prateek started crying at that time……Is there a nursing room where I can change and feed him…..She asked Mr. Evans…..He nodded and showed her a vacant room and left her to it, telling her to collect the letter at the reception hall from the lab assistant, after hour…….Kripa thanked him and he bid bye, asking to call him if she has any questions or need any help……Kripa sighed in relief and locked the door…….She fed and changed Prateek and went out……..Thoughts of Sheetal and this fraud, kept ringing in her mind……..She went to the Lady who had given her the reports earlier…….The lady got up with a smile and gave her the letter and apologized again…….Kripa thanked her and went out with the original reports and the letter and caught the taxi…..But she did not return home……Some where in her mind, she was suspicious of Sheetal…...She had to get to the bottom of all this……..
She rang the bell of her apartment, and stood there impatiently……Sheetal opened the door and was shocked to see her there…..
K: Hi, Can I come in……she said looking at her………Sheetal just nodded frowing and went in……..Kripa looked at Neev, who was busy drawing in the book she had bought for him……She smiled at him and he gave her a small smile with out a word and kept drawing……..Sorry to come without calling……Sheetal nodded and stood there…….Did you get the reports.…….Sheetal nodded slowly and looked at her……
S: So you guys ready to give me child support as promised?…She said looking at the report in her hand…..
K: When did you get this?
S: Yesterday……Kripa looked at Sheetal, playing along with it…..But Sheetal was looking everywhere but at her…….
K: So, why didn't you call? Sheetal shrugged….
S: Why should I?…..I knew you would contact me once you get the reports….She said frowning……
K: Are you sure, that is the only reason……Sheetal looked at her sharply and frowned………
S: What do you mean? She asked angrily…….
K: Sheetal, when a person doesn't know how to lie, he or she shouldn't…….She said looking at her…….That caught her attention immediately……..
S: What do you mean by that……It is Angad who had lied…..He is Neev's father…….
K: Ok then Sheetal, then if it is settled that Angad is Neev's father, we will apply for the joint custody of him and take him back to India…….She said smiling at Neev…….All color drained from Sheetal's face……..
S: You can't do that……you promised………
K: Why not…..After all he is Angad's son right…..And I am ready to accept him as my own……And don't worry, as a aunt, we will give you visitation rights once a year as well…..And we will keep our promise…..We will pay for lawyers if you want to file a case against Angad……..So, go ahead and do so…..And as per the promise, you said that you want full custody, if Angad is not the father…….she said challenging her……..
S: You can't take Neev away from me……He is the only family I have…….I won't let this happen……..she shouted at Kripa, picking Neev up…..
K: But why? After all Neev is Angad's son…..Surely you can understand that Neev needs his dad at this stage and what more, he would get a mom as well…..I promise, I will love him as I love my son Prateek…..She said smiling at her……..Sheetal was sweating badly…….Kripa looked at her with anger suddenly…….Your fraud is out in open Miss. Sheetal Kaul……..I have original reports with me……..She said taking out the envelope…….I can sue you in the court, for this…….She said looking at her disgustingly……..Sheetal was stunned…….she looked down for a second guiltily….but then composed her self………
S: What do you mean you have original reports…..These are original reports…..She said showing her the papers…….
Kripa just raise her eye brow…….
K: Ok….be ready to prove it in the court…….because I assure you, that you will loose…….You will not only loose the case, but you will loose your self respect and the roof over your head…….
Sheetal turned around closing her eyes…….A tear escaped her eye……
K: I have a letter from the head of the lab department, stating the results are Negative and Angad is not the father…..I have evidence that you got those reports yesterday too…..and I have the false reports which I got at home today……Think carefully Sheetal, if this fraud of yours goes out in the court, it will not take much long, to prove that you have paid for the false reports to trap Angad Rathod, the famous business man….Already the police investigation are under way…….Your reputation will be in gutter and you will loose your job as well as Neev and you will be on streets within days after that…...So the decision is yours…...If you want me to go ahead, I am leaving for the lawyers office right now……And I promise, that I will not rest until, I prove my husband innocent and you the fraud……So, think very carefully before deciding…..Give the statement in front of the press or meet us in the court..…...Make up your decision Miss. Kaul, Now…….Kripa said sternly, waiting for her answer.…….After a long time Sheetal turned around wiping her face…….
Kripa looked at her a little dazed as well as concerned…..but did not say a word……..
S: I will give the statement……she whishpered, not ready to look at her.…….Kripa nodded….
K: Be ready by 9 tomorrow morning…..We will be here to take you……
She said turning around and leaving the apartment………But she stopped near the door and looked around…..Found Sheetal crying……..
K: The person who doesn't know how to tell a lie, or how to commit fraud, should never do it…….The lie can never be hidden for long……One look at the paper told me that some thing was not right…….I don't want to hurt you or Neev, Sheetal……I just want to prove that Angad is innocent…….Some where in my heart, I know you are a very good person….…Neev is dependent on you for rest of his life…..He needs you at this time…….You are the only mother he will know, when he grows up……So, don't mess it up for him……It will be him who would suffer the most, for your mistakes…..He is already suffering for his mom's mistakes……I hope you are more responsible than Simone and do what is right for him……..She said looking at her sadly and turning around and walking out of the house…….It was late night, by the time she was back home……She was tired and her body ached……especially her hands, holding Prateek for 4-5 hours continuously……..She started opening the door with her keys, sighing ……But before she could open, the door opened and Angad stood there with a frown…….
A: Kripa, kahan chali gayi thi…..He asked pulling her in his arms……closing his eyes…..for a second there, he thought she had left him here as her passport as well as Prateek's bag were gone along with Kripa and Prateek, when he had returned from his walk……...But then he closed his eyes and knew that was not possible at all…..But he had been worried about her as there was no sign of her for last 7 hours…….He was all ready to call the police………
K: Tum kahan chale gaye the iss tarah Angad, kitna bulaya, suna bhi nahi…..bus chal diye….She said looking at him with a frown……Aab isse lo…..mera haath dard de raha hai….She said angrily handing him Prateek…..Angad sighed and slowly picked prateek up from her arms…….Waise gaye kahan the……ek ghanta tumhari raah dekh dekh kar thak gayi thi……Angad looked away deep in thoughts…..
A: Bas yunhi…..Mera to dimak kaam hi nahi kar raha tha…..to sochne gaya tha ki age kya karna hai…….I can't believe it, ki test results Positive aye hain…..He said frowning…..
K: Ek number ke buddhu ho tum…….she said shaking her head and keeping the bag down and sitting on the sofa exhausted…….
A: Kya matlab hai…..
K: Wahi jo kaha meine…….she said closing her eyes and resting back……..
A: Kripa…..please yakin karo, yeh mumkin hi nahi hai……I can't be Neev's dad……..Mein to Simone ke kareeb bhi nahi gaya kabhi…..aur aisa bhi nahi hai, ki meine kabhi sharab pi ho, jisase mujhe hosh na raha…….This is just crazy…….He said frowning down at Prateek, who started crying, as Angad's hand tightened on him……Kripa looked up at him with a frown and sighed……
K: Janti hun…..Kal Sheetal statement dene aa rahi hai……..Papa ke sath baat karke press conference bula lena…….she said taking Prateek and heading in the bedroom……Angad, looked at her stunned as she disappeared in the bedroom……
A: Kya kaha tumne……he asked in disbilief…..going inside after couple of minutes?
K: Shh….awaj mat karo……bahar jao….mein sula ke ati hun isse…..bechara thak gaya hai……she said frowning at him…..Angad frowned back at her, but closed the door, when Prateek started crying again…….
He waited impatiently for next 20 minutes outside the room……..What did she mean that Sheetal was coming to give her statement…….The test results had come positive…!!!
Kripa came out after 20 minutes and closed the door lightly behind her and smiled at Angad who was pacing, deep in his own thoughts…….
K: Angad……
Angad looked up immediately and went to her………
A: Kripa, results to positive aaye hain…..to statement kis baat ki? He asked impatiently…….
Kripa went and took out the envelope they had received today and handed it to him….He frowned and opened it…..
A: Yeh mein ne dopahar ko hi padh liye the Kripa……he said frustrated……..
K: Angad concentrate karo aur dekh….Tumhe nahi lagta kuch missing tha iss letter mein……Angad frowned and looked at it confused……Then he looked at Kripa…….Kripa sighed and shook her head…….Angad uss admi ne courier kaha na…..Courier ka naam pata hai…….? Kahin seal dikh raha hai? She asked showing him the envelop…….Stunned Angad looked at it and found none……There was just their address which was hand written….He looked at her with a frown…….Kripa smiled at him……Kaha na ki tum bilkul budhu ho…..Pata nahi aise budhu se kaise pala pad gaya mera…….she said shaking her head…….Angad frowned at her…..and looked at the envelope again……
A: To yeh….?
K: fraud tha…..
A: Kya…….? He asked with wide eyes, looking at the reports again……Kripa then took out the report and the letter given by the lab head and gave it to Angad……
K: Yeh sahi reports hai……she said sighing…..Angad opened the envelope and looked through them…..and the frowned…..He looked up at Kripa confused……..
Kripa then told him all what happened today and how Sheetal had did this, so she could get child support from him……..Angad was shocked to hear all this…….
A: par yeh saab tumhe kaise pata chala…….? Kripa frowned at him as if he had lost his mind, hadn't she just now told him everything ?……..
K: Angad, koi bhi agar ye envelope par ek najar dale na to usse pata chal jata ki ye courier se nahi aya hain……na post se…….Tum uss waqt reports padne ke liye itne utavale the, ki yeh dekha hi nahi…..Mein ne dekhte hi jaan liya ki kuch problem hai…..Tumhare liye ek ghanta wait karke hospital chali gayi aur jab reports ke liye pucha to pata chala ki apne paas jo reports aye hain woh galat hai….Phir jab jana ki Sheetal kal hi reports lekar ja chuki thi……to uss ke paas gayi……usse dekhkar aur baat karke, uski asliyat samne aa gayi……Mein ne usse dhamki di, ki aur woh turant statement dene ke liye taiyar ho gayi…….She said rolling her eyes…….Angad just sat there looking at the original reports……Thank God Angad tumhe akele nahi bheja……nahi to iss jhoot ko sach mankar, court ke case mein aise padte na ki adhi jindagi yahin gujar jati…..she said chuckling…..I hope tumne kuch khana banakar rakha hai…….She said walking in the kitchen…….She sighed looking at the dinner and grinning filled her plate…
K: Ma ke cooking lessons ke bahot fayde hain……Biwi thak kar ghar ate hi garam garam khana taiyar…..she said chuckling and sitting on the table……Soon she quickly started eating, as she was totally famished…….Halfway through the dinner, she looked up and found Angad staring at her………She blushed a little, but made faces and kept eating…….
Angad could not believe that Kripa had done all this within 4-5 hours, while he had sat there thinking about what to do…….But she looked so adorable sitting there and eating…….
A: Kripa, tum art ke sath detective novels bhi likhti ho kya? He asked looking at her…….Kripa chuckled…..
K: Abhi tak to nahi likhi…….par soch jaroor rahi hun………She said grinning and eating…..then she stopped eating, biting her toungue……Angad, tumne khana khaya? She asked guiltily……..
Angad chuckled and shook his head…….His face showed first sign of genuine laughter after days……
K: Sorry…..woh itni bhook lagi thi ki…..Angad smiled and went to her and hugged her tightly……She too sighed and hugged his waist, tired but still satisfied that atleast she had gone to the bottom of it, that too in matter of hours…..But she felt a little bad for Sheetal as well……she did not look like she was such type of girl who would trap people and get money out of them……..It showed in the carelessness, she had made today…..She would have thought of all this before hand, if her mind ran in such directions…..There might be some reason behind all this……May be she was badly in need of money…..whatever it might be, she would ask her tomorrow…..
Angad picked up the spoon and started feeding her….Kripa smiled and ate a bite…..She got up to fill his plate and gave him…….Angad smiled and kissed her forehead and sat with her to eat………
A: Aab mujhe pata chala ki tum mere sath kyun ayi…….he said chuckling….Kripa smiled and raised her eyes…...Tumhe pehle hi pata tha na ki mein kitna buddhu hun, Mujh jaise budhu ko akela chod deti to, tumhari problem ho jati…….Dekho na pichli baar akele raha to kitna problem ho gaya……Woh to Josh tha isiliye……he said chuckling…...Iss bar akele aya hota to pata nahi kya hota……Tum ho sath, issiliye saab kuch itni jaldi sulajh gaya …….Woh kehte hain na ki oppossites attract, sach kehte hain……Mein ek buddhu, aur tum itni hoshiyaar…….Saab akele handle kar leti ho…..bina kisi jhijhak ke……He said chuckling……Kripa smiled and kissed his cheeks…….
K: Budhu ho, par mere ho…...she said grinning……kaha tha na mein ne, ke khud se jyada mujhe tumpe vishwas hai…..ussi vishwas ki jeet hui hai…..she said looking at him and then frowned…….aab tum mujhe lalchi kaho ya besharam, aaj to tumhe sweet share karna hi hoga mere sath, mera inaam, case solve karne ke khushi mein…..she said showing him a chocolate with a grin…….Angad chuckled piching her cheeks and kissing them later……..He opened it and they shared the chocolate like they always did.…….As soon as the dinner was done, Angad lifted Kripa and took her in the living room and loved her like there was no tomorrow……..Fortunately Prateek was asleep till early morning……..They got up with a jerk, when they heard Prateek crying loudly……Kripa chuckled as she got up, when Angad groaned…..But he was up with her any way and went to their room behind her…….It was around 4 in the morning……
He quickly washed his face and then went to the living room and dialed Dilip's number…..He informed him about the DNA test results and even told them, how Sheetal had mislead them and how Kripa had gone to the hospital and found the truth…….Dilip sighed in relief and blessed Kripa for all she did and then told him to file a case against Sheetal for what she did…….He told him that he would send a good lawyer and asked him to give him all the details and told him not to leave the girl……Angad sighed and agreed and then asked him to arrange for the press conference after 6 hours from now as Sheetal was ready to give the statement……Dilip happily asked him to take care and told him that it will be done and kept the phone…….Even Angad couldn't believe that people could be so corrupt and do anything for money……..He snorted thinking, both sisters were alike……They were sisters in true sense and very much had similar personalities and traits……!
Angad went back in the bedroom and saw Prateek playing on the bed……He forgot all about Sheetal as soon as he saw his smiling face and slept besides him, playing and holding his tiny hands in his….….Kripa was in the rest room and was back in 15-20 minutes……..Freshly bathed and looking beautiful………When she saw him looking at her, she widened her eyes……….
K: Angad paas ane ki socho bhi mat……she said rolling her eyes……Angad frowned at her, but sat where he was and kept looking at her keeping an eye on her every move…….Angad !!!
A: Kya? Aab meine kya kiya…..? He asked with mock anger…….
K: Ghur kyun rahe ho……she said making faces……..He grinned at her and began to sing…

Tum kitni khubsurat ho yeh mere dil se poocho
in dhadkanon se poocho tum
kyon dil hai tum pe diwana
tum kitni khubsurat ho…..
Kripa rolled her eyes, but blushed and looked back at herself and then at Angad in the mirror, while applying cream to her hands……Angad looked at her through the mirror and smiled…….She kept looking at him blushing and enjoying his song….
Sharma rahi ho jana
bal kha rahi ho jana
mujhey maano yah na mano
apna tumhi ko maana
tum kitni khubsurat ho…..
Na bahar mangta hoon
na karaar mangta hoon
main toh zindagi ke badle
tera pyar mangta hoon
tum kitni khubsurat ho…..
Angad grinned, finishing his song, while Kripa chuckled blushing and going out of the room……..Angad smiled at Prateek, who was blissfully happy, and so was his dad, thought Angad…..
Kripa was back with milk for them both along with some toast…….She blushed when Angad stared at her again, as she came in……But when he chuckled she smiled at him and sat on the bed, giving him his cup……..
A: Kripa, papa lawyer ko bhej rahe hain…..woh chahte hain, ki hum sheetal ke against case kare……Fraud karne ke jurm mein…He said drinking his milk……Kripa's hand stilled and slowly she kept her cup down…..
K: nahi Angad hum koi case nahi karenge uss par…..meine usse wada kiya hai, ki agar woh yeh statement degi, to hum usse akele chod denge………Angad looked at her with a frown…..
A: Par Kripa……tumhe nahi lagta yeh risky hai……..dekho, tum ne hi to kaha na ki police inquiry chal rahi hai hospital ke uss murjim ko pakadne ke liye, jo unke letter heads par false reports type karke deta hai………Kabhi na kabhi ye Sheetal tak pahunch hi jayenge, aur unhe yeh bhi pata chal jayega ki tumhe uske baramein pata tha, phir bhi jaan bujh kar tum chup rahi…..He said looking at her seriously……Yeh saab ke liye problem ho sakta hain…..Kripa looked down thoughtfully knowing quite well what he was saying….
K: Angad, agar Sheetal ko hum samjhaye, aur uss insan ko pakadne mein police ki madad karne ko kahe, to?
Angad frowned at her…..why was she interested in helping the girl, who was trying to trap them……As if she read his mind, Kripa answered his question…..
K: Angad, mein janti hun ki tum kya soch rahe ho……par mera yakin karo, kahin na kahin Sheetal ki majboori thi isme……Mujhe nahi lagta ki woh iss tarah ki ladki hai……
A: Kripa, tum Simone ko nahi janti thi…..Usse dekh kar bhi tum yahi kehti ki woh massom hai…….Yeh to ussiki behan hai, ek baar uski chal bhale hi kamyab na hui, aur kuch phir se try kiya to bahot musibat ho jayegi……
K: Angad please……usse ek mauka dena chahiye humme…… Aur uss chote bache ki aur to dekho na, bichara usska kya kasur hai in saab mein, charon aur se takleef mein to woh masoom hi hai na…….Uska Sheetal ke siwa koi nahi hai duniya mein…..Angad sighed……Kripa was too soft hearted…..
A: Thik hai Kripa…..par you have to convince her to tell the truth to the police……And help them identify the culpript…..Agar woh taiyar hai, to thik hai……Kripa smiled and nodded at him……
K: I promise mein usse mana lungi…..
A: I know….mujhe pata hai, ki murde ke muh se bhi kehelwa logi ki woh mara nahi hai……Kripa frowned at him as he chuckled……..Waise yaar ye subah subah tumhare sath dudh kyun dedeti ho roj mujhe…..he said making faces…..
K: Mein akele saab kyun bhugtun……Tumhe bhi to kuch mere takleef ka andaja hona chahiye na…..she said chuckling…..Angad raised his eyebrows…….
A: Mujhe laga tumhe dudh pasand hai….!!!
Kripa made faces…..Padhai ke waqt ma jabardasti pilati, phir adat ho gayi……inn bich ke teen salon mein kabhi dekha hai mujhe dudh pite hue?…..aur aab inke liye pina padta hai……she said showing him prateek……nahi to mujhe pucho to mein dudh dekh kar 4 km piche bhag jaun……she said shaking her head, making faces……Angad chuckled finishing his milk……Waise Angad, dekho 4 saal ho gaye shadi ko, par tumhe mere bare mein itna bhi nahi pata…..she said frowning at him and picking up the cups……Angad just rolled his eyes and chuckled at her as she went out of the room angrily……
