PART - 17

Second week when he did not get her messages or phone, he frowned a little...Days passed by and he knew Kripa must be busy in exams...She had not called after that first week and his ego too kept him from calling her...! But still he was worried and went to her campus, the third week, to see if she was doing ok...But then he saw her sitting with Prithvi in the canteen deep in conversation and he turned away angrily and left...! So, this was the way she wanted...! Fine...! This would be the way, he thought...His anger increasing seeing her with Prithvi again...He did not call her as well after that and tried to be busy in his work and projects...!

Kripa was done with her finals and Angad had still not called her...! She wanted to talk to him about his plans, so she could decide what to do about her studies...To continue or to go to India with him as his college will be over in next 15 days...! She did not have any clue about what his plans were and when was he planning to leave and further they did not even talk after he came back from his tour...But she was angry on him as well...It was 3 weeks since their fight...And after a week she had not called him at all...! But he too had not called, even after dozens of messages and calls she made...She had almost went to his campus everyday, first week, to try to talk to him, but he did not even try to talk once...

She let next one week go and helped Kanan pack up...She tearfully hugged her and bid her bye atlast, as her finals were over and she was going back to her parents house, to start preparing for her marriage...She was planning to find a job here itself after her marriage and honeymoon and promised Kripa to call her and send her marriage invitation through Josh...! Kripa had just wished her luck and soon she was all alone...Next week, she kept herself busy going to play tennis and other games, her music, dance as well as chess and other activities...She spent her nights sometimes talking to Avantika and sometimes reading novels...But thought of Angad never left her and she was hurt by his behavior...! She knew today was the last day of Angad's exam and they still hadn't talked...Kanan was coming back next week to help with her friends hotel, and she was planning to stay with Josh in his house...She felt lonely without Josh, Kanan and Harshini, as all 3 went together to enjoy some time with their parents...! Prithvi had come to talk to her and apologise and she sighed and told him that it wasn't his fault, but hers for lying and just forget it and concentrate on his book... She had other friends, who welcomed her, but not as good as them...They had been part of her for last 2 years continuously, encouraging her to no limit...

Suddenly her phone started ringing and she saw Angad's number displayed on her cell...She looked at the phone couple of seconds with disbelief, but then slowly smiled through tears and switched it on...But she couldn't speak a word, as Angad started talking immediately...

A: Kripa, mujhe tumse jaroori baat karni hai...Kal sham ko tumhare paas ke starbucks mein mein raah dekhunga, panch baje...He said authoritatively...Kripa never minded his authority before, but she flinched at his tone today...! Before she could reply, he kept the phone and Kripa stared at the phone with disbelief once again...She throwed away the phone angrily, at his arrogance...Her eyes filling with tears...How could he behave such a way...She had tried to apologize so many times for her mistakes and lies...But he did not even try to talk to her once...She knew she was wrong and that was the reason, she had continuously tried to talk to him...But what more could she do, when she couldn't even find him... She had even explained him in her messages, as to why she did not tell him the truth, but he just ignored her messages...And he did not even took his calls and had switched it off intentionally, as she knew...

But she reached the coffee shop before time and waited for him, knowing well that they had to talk...And then he came...He looked a little tired as well as worn out, may be because of the exams and projects etc. or due to her, may be she thought with a lump...

He looked at her for couple of minutes from the door, then looked away and slowly came in...He sat in front of her, without looking at her and called the waiter...He asked Kripa, if she wanted something, but she shook her head, hurt by his rude tone, which she had never heard before and he shrugged and ordered his coffee...She couldn't believe that this was the same Angad who loved her so much...It seemed like he had totally changed over night and she felt as if she did not know him at all at that very second...Suddenly, she felt anger rising in herself, due to his behavior...

A: Kripa, mein dus din baad India wapas jane ki soch raha hun...He said atlast and Kripa looked at him with wide eyes too stunned to say a word...I want to know your plans...! He asked looking at her angrily...Kripa suddenly just couldn't take it...

K: Tum kuch bologe nahi...What do you want me to do...? She asked a little angrily...

Angad looked at her with equal anger...It is your life Kripa...! Tumhe jo karna hai woh karo...Mujhe koi farak nahi padta...! He said angrily...Waise bhi aab tum akeli reh sakti ho...You don't need me anymore...You have your friends and you can manage everything on your own...! He said sarcastically... So, it is your decision...Aur mere haan ya na se tumhe bhi to koi farak nahi padta...Tum to wahi karogi, jo tumhe theek lage...To yeh puchne ka fayda kya hai...Aab to khud apne decisions le rahi ho na...To ye bhi le lo...He said looking down, remembering the night he saw her with Prithvi and the lies she told him about her whereabouts...Kripa looked down guiltily at that moment, knowing what he was thinking...

K: Janana nahi chahoge, ki mein ne tumse jhoot kyun bola...she asked quietly...

A: Kya karun jankar...? Bahot ummed thi mujhe tumse Kripa, par tumhari jhoot ne saab tod diya...Tum teen mahinon se ussase milti rahi, par ek baar bhi tumne mujhe nahi bataya, ki tumne usse maaf kar diya...? He looked at her angrily...Mujhe ussi din pata chal gaya, jis din mein tumhare Senior Citizen home mein aaya tha...! Bolo, jhoot hai ye?...Phir bhi mein chup raha, tumhare kehne ka intajar karta raha...Aur uss din bhi tum sach nahi keh saki...Bas itna hi bharosa tha mujh par...? Sach batakar to dekhti Kripa...Mere pith piche milne ki kya jaroorat thi...Thik hai dosti kar li, usne mafi mang li hogi...! Bas baat khatam...mein ghusaa karta, baad mein accept kar leta, chahe acha lage na lage...Par tumne firse jhoot kaha...! Ussdin bhi sachai bata deti na to mujhe itna ghussa nahi ata jitna aaj aya hai...Aur uske samne mujhse jhoot kaha tumne...? Kya matlab nikalun mein Kripa...Bolo !! He asked angrily...His eyes shredding fire... tha na woh tumhare samne, jab mein ne call kiya...Kripa looked down with tears and Angad looked at her angrily...Doston ke samne apne hi pati se jhoot keh kar achi izzat rakhi meri tumne!!...Tumhe na hi mujh par yakeen hai, na aitbaar...! Agar bharosa hi nahi hai, to aise rishte mein aur rakha kya hai...Bharose ke bina na pyar tikta hai na rishta...And for now, I just can't take it...!

K: Angad ek baar meri baat to sun...She said with tears...

A: Mujhe kuch nahi sunana hai Kripa...! Bahot mauke the tumhe batane ke...Par nahi...Aur aaj... I am not in the mood for it...Mein jo puchne aya tha, ussase kuch jyada hi bol diya...Par aab aur na kuch sunana chahta hun, na kehna...Kripa kept quite looking away ...

A: Jo bhi faisla ho bata dena ye weekend tak, taki mein tickets book kardun...! He said getting up with his coffee...

K: Weekend tak wait karne ki jaroorat nahi hai Angad...! I have decided...! Mein apna final year yahin complete karungi...! Mein India abhi wapas nahi aungi...! Tumhe jana ho to tum jao...She said angrily, because he was not even ready to listen to her or her apology...She knew she had been wrong, but he was not even ready to give her fair chance to explain...She got up with her purse...! Angad stopped in his tracks and looked at her...She looked in his eyes and they just stared at eachother for couple of minutes...

A: Fine...I will call you when my tickets are final...

K: Thik hai...Mein chalti hun...She said quickly running out without a word...She did not stop until she was in her car and then she reversed as quickly as she could and was gone, before Angad could come out of the restaurant...! He frowned looking at her zooming off a little concerned...But then shook his head and went to his car...His heart heavy...He hit the car top hardly with his fist in anger and winced in pain... Fine... he thought angrily sitting in...He drove off and went to his room and started looking for the flights...

Back to Kripa, she cried her heart off when she reached her room...She was alone for the time being and was glad about it...She couldn't believe that Angad could be so harsh...Yes, she had lied, but he was not even ready to talk to her...He was even ready to leave her here alone, and go back, without even solving their problems...He did not even trust her...So, what now?...What about their relationship? Did he still remember that they are married and not merry lovers, for him to just go away without a thought? Was this it? ...She thought crying...Suddenly she wiped her eyes...So fine...If he did not care about her, then why should she...Yeah, she could live without him and she would stay and finish her graduation...! She thought angrily...Why was she then dreading to be alone here...She closed her eyes, thinking about the pain she had felt the first time she was alone in her life, when her parents died, and the pain she felt last time, when Angad was going on the tour and the first time she went to her house after years...The lonliness she felt at that time, was something, she dreaded would come back...! But it did not...Only thing she felt was anger and hurt...! She slowly opened her eyes and knew that she was no longer afraid about being alone, but she was hurt by Angad's behavior for sure...!

Back to Angad he deposited the fees as well as the room charges for Kripa in her account for next one year and some more for her daily expenses, though she hardly took them...Next 4 days he was finally preparing for his departure...He tried to keep Kripa's thoughts out of his mind and concentrated on completing the college formalities and went to meet his friends and teachers...He then finally called Kripa to let her know about his date of departure...! His friends had asked him to stay for next 2-3 months, and go after graduation ceremony, but he opted for sending it by post instead in anger...!

A: Kripa next Thursday meri flight hai sham ko...! He said slowly...Swallowing a lump...But making his heart stronger...!

K: Thik hai...! She whispered...With tears in her eyes...

A: Tumhare account mein mein ne fees aur room ke paise deposit kar diye hai aur car aur medical insuarance bhi ek saal ka bhar diya hai...If you need anything, call kar dena...

K: I am sure I can manage the rest Angad...Thanks...She said formally as he was...

A: Mein rakhta hun...Take care...

Kripa's cheeks were wet with tears and she just kept the phone and started sobbing, not answering him...For next two days, she just sat there in tears, until Kanan called her to tell that she would be here by Monday and she could come directly at the restaurant so they could do the work from Tuesday...Kripa said she would come and bid her bye...

It was already Saturday...She slowly composed her self and called the Senior Citizen home and told them that she would start volunteer after couple of weeks again and they happily thanked her and welcomed her...! She then went to gym and swimming and tried to relax...She felt a lot lighter after a while...She knew that she needed to make herself as busy as she could to avoid this pain and she did...She went to the canteen and had some lunch and then went for a long walk...The day went by and then the next, when she was busy with her music classes...In the evening she went to beach and walked there alone remembering the beautiful moments she and Angad spent there...She kept wiping her tears as she walked on the sand looking at the people around her...She hugged her self, feeling lonely, wanting to go back to India...! She did not know, how she was going to stay there all alone, in midst of the strangers...Her situation was again the same as it was 9 years back...She had to adjust amongst the strangers once again and call them her friends, even though she wished she was with her parents at that moment...And today it was the same...She hugged her self shivering at the thought and closed her eyes...How she wished things would have been different or she should have not lied...But nothing would bring back the wonderful days she spent with Angad here now...He was leaving in couple of days and that was it...She would have to stay here all alone and finish her studies...Under different situation, she would not have minded and made up her mind and would have stayed...But this was totally different...

Angad did not call her and neither did she...Both in their own turmoil...On Tuesday she went to the restaurant where they were all planning to meet and was for the first time in two weeks feeling good, when everyone welcomed her with a cheer and asked her how she was doing...Kripa hid her pain well and smiled at them all happy to see them inspite of the problems in her life...!

She looked around the shabby place and Kanan sighed going to her...

Ka: I know it is not much, but he did not have a very big budget...She said with a sigh...But he has couple of friends, whose dads are carpenters and they promised to help and tell us what to do...He has some money left for renovation and some of his friends even loaned him a little...So, lets see...Kripa nodded with a smile... They then saw a boy their age coming in the restaurant and Kanan grinned at him...

Ka: Hey Rohit...! Kripa, Rohit, owner of this upcoming restaurant...Rohit Kripa, my friend, who is here to help you...She said with a grin...

R: Thanks Kripa...I will be forever greatful...

Ka: Hey greatful hone ki bajaye, ever weekend ek free meal mil jaye to jyada acha hoga...! Kanan joked...Rohit laughed...

R: Of course, mom ko keh dunga tum logon ko free pass dene ke liye...But I hope it is just you guys...Nahi to fauz leke aoge tum log dus ki aur mera diwala nikaloge...! He said rolling his eyes...

Ka: How mean man...! Bhalai ka zamana hi nahi raha...Don't worry...We will come here alone...Mere husband ka bhi khane ke paise bhar dungi...!

R: Thank God for that...! He said laughing and Kanan hit him chuckling...Soon one by one joined in and even Josh came... She was at the door, when Prithvi came in and smiled at her slowly...

P: Hi Kripa, kaisi ho? Kripa smiled and nodded...

K: Thik hu Prithvi, tum?

P: Busy...he said grinning with a twinkle, which Kripa did not miss...But she did not interfere and nodded...Soon, they started with their work and got busy...There were around 8-9 kids and they all did what ever they could, as directed by the person, who knew what they needed to do...!

Time flew by and it was already 7 in the evening...They all bid bye to eachother and soon went off to their respective homes...

Wednesday came and went by same way, but that night Kripa was restless...Avantika called her worriedly, to ask if she would be able to stay alone and Kripa assured her that she would and wanted to finish her studies...Dilip raised her hopes saying she took a good decision and said they would wait for her and to concentrate on studies and take care of herself...!

She wanted to call Angad, but some reason held back...Angad was in the same situation...He was going to leave for India, and try to establish him self doing his independent shows...But leaving Kripa here all alone, was making him restless...He twisted and turned all through the night and atlast decided to go meet her once...He tried calling her, but his cell wasn't working...Then he remembered that he had not re-charged it...He sighed and went down to the public phone booth and called her, to ask if she was free to join him for lunch...He for some reason did not want to leave on angry note, as she would be staying alone for next one year for the first time...

Kripa was busy coloring the wall along with Prithvi and Kanan...!

She was getting angry as Prithvi was rejecting all the shades Kanan was asking him about...Her phone started ringing and she switched it on...

K: Hello...She said, but no one spoke...Kripa looked at the phone with a frown...Hello...She said again and Angad just closed his eyes with pain...He did not want to leave her alone...! Why did he leave the decision to her and not tell her that he couldn't leave her alone here and ask her to come with him...? He thought wiping his tears...But then suddenly he stilled...How could he think this way...? He knew Kripa should finish her degree this year, for graduating...! Then his eyes widened...He suddenly realized, that may be this would be for her good...If he went to her now and she said she wanted to come back then? No, this year, all by herself, will give her enough courage to fight her own battles...He knew, she had never stayed alone, and this was the opportunity, he had always waited for, to make Kripa confident, fearless and independent...

Kripa frowned at the phone and looked at Kanan, who was looking angrily at Prithvi...Prihtiv, kya kar rahe ho...! Kanan, tum choose karo koi bhi color...Iss par decision chod dogi to hum kuch kaam nahi kar sakenge...Nahi to Rohit ko hi puch lo...she said irritated at Prithvi, when he just sat there rejecting all the colors...! It was around 1/ 2 hour now...! She for few seconds forgot all about the phone in her hand...then she looked down and again called out, but then heard the click and the phone was disconnected...! She frowned at her phone, feeling a little uneasy...She kept staring until Kanan's voice bought her back...

Ka: Kya hua, kiska phone tha? She asked with eyebrows up...

K: Pata nahi...shayad blank call tha...

Ka: Blank ya Mr. Ashique...? She asked grinnineg and Kripa froze for a second...Was it Angad's call? She thought and then looked at her phone...She tried calling Angad's number, but it was said that it was not available...Her heart started beating loudly...Was he calling from the airport before leaving...? She thought and stared blankly at Kanan, who frowned at her shaking her hand before Kanan...Kya hua Kripa...?

K: Woh Kanan, aaj Angad ja raha hai wapas India...Shayad usika phone ho...

Ka: Kya? India wapas ja raha hai...? She asked with disbelief and even Josh stopped what he was doing and looked at her with a frown...Tumne hume bataya nahi...!

Kripa looked down a little embarrassed...Woh uski finals khatma ho gayi, to bas aab jana chahta hai...Aur tum donon bhi yahan nahi the, to batane ka mauka hi nahi mila...apna career banana chahta hai wahan music industry mein...! Aur mein meri degree puri karna chahti hun yahan...! So...she said slowly looking down...

Ka: And you are working here, instead of being there with him...! What is wrong with you girl...? Go...go to him...!

K: Par ye kaam...Kanan just rolled her eyes...

Ka: Hey we are here...! You go on...Iske liye to aur 5 din hai...Jao...

J: Haan Kripa, tumhe jana chahiye...Josh said...Nahi to woh bura maan jayega...

Kripa slowly sighed nodding and took her purse and left after saying bye to all...How could she tell them that things were not the same with them now...! There were unresolved issues, which Angad did not even try to resolve and was leaving instead, without seeking answers for them...! But she wanted to meet him once before he left, so quickly took her car and drove towards his room...!

On the other side, Angad switched off the phone angrily, hearing Prithvi's name again from Kripa's mouth...She seemed ok and happy with her friends...Not the least bothered that he was going today...Did not even try to call...! He shook his head and called the cab...He would go early to the airport and wait there he thought angrily...His boarding was not for another 4 hours, but he decided to go and roam around instead...

He reached the airport soon, checked in all his bags and then went to the malls near the airport...He had been so busy that he was not able to buy anything for anyone...But then sighed...He closed his eyes thinking about Kripa again and then made up his mind...No, he would make himself stronger for their future...This would be good for Kripa as well...He thought sighing...His anger was one side, but even if he wanted to take her he could not and this anger will keep Kripa going and determined...He walked towards the shops trying to make up his mind...

Kripa in the meanwhile reached his room, but his friends told her that Angad had already left hour back...kripa's heart pounded and she drove to the airport as fast as she could...She parked her car and searched for Angad in all the check-in counters...But was not able to find him...She asked the counter people, but they said that they couldn't disclose passanger details for securitly reason...When she said she is his wife, they sighed and finally after lots of request gave her the details of the flight he was going and that he had already checked in...She tried to look for him everywhere, but there was no sign of Angad...Finally the flight was announced and Kripa was dejected...She wasn't allowed inside the security gates, even though she requested many of them...Finally, she quickly took out a paper from her purse and quickly wrote a note and asked the security people, if they could just pass on this letter, to Mr. Angad Khanna...She gave them the flight details and then nodded with compassion, saying sorry, as they were bound by rules...Kripa nodded with tears and slowly walked out...Finally she went out to the parking lot with tears...! She sat in the car, as tears soaked her cheeks and went back to her room dejected...!

Back to Angad, he looked out with tears as the flight started and took off after several minutes...Flight attentand came to him once the flight was stable and slowly called his name and he looked at her, trying to blink his tears...

F: Sir, are you Mr. Angad Khanna? She asked and Angad frowned and slowly nodded...This is for you. She said giving him the letter...Angad frowned and looked at it and his heart started beating looking at Kripa's hand writing...

Angad,

Pata hai, ki mein ne tumhara dil dukhaya hai... I am sorry...Mein kabhi tumhara dil nahi dukhana chahti thi, bas yahi chahti thi ki mein tumhare samne ye baat bataun...I hope some day you will forgive me...I will Miss you...Bhagwan se prarthana karungi ki tumhare sare sapne pure ho...

Tumhari Kripa...

Angad closed his eyes as a tear slipped his eye and he slowly wiped them...I know Kripa...He said to himself...But I have to do this...For your sake and for our sake...! He thought opening his eyes and looking out of the flight, as it slowly left the city...He had thought a lot about it, and then he had come to this conclusion...He knew Kripa would never do anything wrong, though he was angry on her for lying, but his reason to leave was for her to make up her mind to continue to stay here, without any support all by herself and face the life on her own...He knew this was necessary and if he had melted away, then she would have thought twice about staying here, and would have come with him...No, he had not looked at it that way, couple of weeks back, too angry on her...But now that he thought, he knew, may be this was for the best...!

1 year later...!

Kripa sighed in relief, when her last exam was over...! Finally she was done...

1 Year since Angad left...! She had come a long way after that...Changed a lot...Was totally fearless...Bold as well as stood out in crowds...! She had made a lot of friends over the year, though Kanan and Josh still topped the list, not to mention Prithvi who was in love with Harshini to everyone's surprise...! She performed in many events...Sang and even danced...She still gave music lessons, and had much bigger group...! She rode all the rides in theme parks, fearlessly and even enjoyed them...! Was good in swimming and even topped the chess competition in National level...! She was invited to go further, but she declined, as she was feeling homesick now, after two years being away from her family...Though the one person she was dreading to meet, was the same person she was eager to meet...Angad had not called her to talk to her or even said a word about her letter after that...Yes, he had talked, but casually in front of their family, but as soon as they were alone, they both ended it...Both hesitated to say anything more than required, and kept their thoughts to themselves... She hoped her apology would atleast make him see through her and forgive her...But it did not and Kripa did not say anything after that...! They never talked about their fight even once till now...

No one was aware about Angad and Kripa's secret war...They rarely talked with eachother, and whenever she called India and Avantika gave the phone to Angad, he would ask general questions and then go to his room and then switch off talking to her as minimum as he could...! Most of the time though he would not be at home at all, due to his shows and reharsels and he knew almost what time she called and so went away before that, so he was not forced to talk...

Angad was successful too...! He got up the ladder the first time his show was launched...Though he had to struggle a little for first 2-3 months to get sponsorors, he was at last successful with Kartik's help and soon launched himself with couple of more friends as well as taking few other people in his shows...He started with his own compositions, and added words with the help of Shabeer and his wife and even composed his own music and did his shows himself after recording his voice...He tried to hire the best and was successful after a little struggle as well...It was as if he had all the good qualities for success and his hard work and determination at last paid off...Dilip and Avantika were proud of him and very much happy and were waiting for Kripa's arrival...! Within 8 months of his success, they all moved to a bigger house, as Kartik was also very much successful now, due to added publicity in Angad's show and both Angad and Kartik together made wonderful progress...! Kripa never took extra money, even though she was aware of Angad depositing more than before in her account every month...! She came to know about Angad's success and had casually congradulated him for the success and was aware of their moving to a bigger house...Whatever extra money she needed for her clothes and gas and food, she earned it herself, by teaching music on Saturday and Sunday and was happy in it...! Though married, Angad and Kripa did not stay more than a month together in all 3 years...And Kripa still hesitated to ask for anything, especially now that they were so apart...Only once she had asked was one time during the beach party hosted by Mishti and Prithvi...Later Angad had regularly deposited it by himself, even before she asked, though she used it just for the important things she needed, keeping it to minimum...!

Angad was successful, but Avantika and Dilip could see that he was missing Kripa...Though he never said so and they were very much looking forward for Kripa to come back... Kripa wanted to go back immediately after exams, but most of her friends urged her to stay till her graduation and then go...So, she had talked to Dilip and Avantika about it and they agreed, saying they will ask Angad to book her tickets after that...! Kripa had almost a month and a half free time, but she had to evacuate her college campus in the meanwhile...

She went to Kanan for help to find her a small studio apartment for a month or so...!

Ka: Hey, tum yahan humare paas aakar kyun nahi rehti...She asked with a grin...Kripa rolled her eyes...

K: Commom Kanan, be practical...She said chuckling and Nishant started laughing...! Kanan grinned...

Ka: Hey Kripa, no hanky panky when you are around...I promise...Kyun Nishant...She asked him mischiviously...

N: Sure, as long as you are in bed by 8...!

Kripa chuckled at them...!

Ka: Nishant stop it ok...Pata hai na 4 mahine baad mummyji ane wali hai...! And if you are behaving this way, I am out of here...! She said rolling her eyes...Fir tum apne mama ke sath pyar se raho...!

K: Aab tum donon ka jhagda khatam hua to mere problem ka solution doge...

Ka: Hey I already did...We have 6 bedrooms...! Move here next week...I will come on the weekend, to help you out...Ok...your problem is solved...

Nishant chuckled...Kripa, Kanan thik keh rahi hai...yahin humare sath reh jao...He said with a smile...Kripa smiled and nodded...

K: Josh kab aa raha hai Kanan...? I hope I can meet him before I leave...!

Ka: Uska koi bharosa nahi hai Kripa...! Keh raha tha ki chutti nahi mil rahi hai...! Let's see...He will call you...!

Kripa nodded...Josh had moved to east coast 6 months back as he got a good job in a university there...!

Ka: Common Kripa, tumhare hath ka khakar bahot time ho gaya hai...chalo, kuch banate hain...Kanan said grinning and they went to the kitchen together...So, how is Angad...? He must be eager for you now...! She said grinning...Kripa smiled and kept quite...

That weekend, she shifted with Kanan and Nishant's help and settled in a guest room in their house...Both Nishant and Kanan were mostly busy in their work, so Kripa spent most of the time in gym, she had taken a months pass to or on the beach or just at home, cooking...Sometimes, she met her friends in the restaurants or on beach, where they played beach ball or other things...!

A month passed by in haze and Kripa attended her graduation and finally bid bye to her friends...Josh too came for her graduation and wish her luck...But she was in a surprise, when he announced that Kanan, Nishant and Josh were also coming to India with her...At last Kripa was on her flight to India...! She was excited as well as nervous...! After 26 hours of journey, at last she landed back in India...! Her hands trembled as she collected her bags and kept it on the trolleys...Kanan, Josh and Nishant had booked their flights later, so they did not get their last flight together with Kripa and they parted, promising to meet Kripa in Mumbai in couple of days...She nervously walked out, thinking if Angad would be there...! She knew that they did not talk much over last one year, but she somewhere thought that may be once she was back, he would forget the past fights and forgive her and they would both make up...Though she had her doubts...

She slowly walked out looking through the crowds for the faces, she had missed for last two years and suddenly she saw them...Looking at her with a smile...She smiled back and but then looked through the crowds again to see if Angad was there, but was disappointed...He was not here...She walked to Avantika suppressing her disappointment...!

Av: Tumhari ankhein jisse dhund rahi hai, woh nahi hai yahan...Avantika said with a chuckle and hugged her with tears...Kripa closed her eyes with sad smile and hugged her...It felt so nice to be back...She had for the first time realized how much she had missed them...Most of all Avantika, who was her mother all these years and had treated her like her own...

K: I missed you ma...She whispered as a tear slipped her eye...

Av: Pagal ladki...aab to humesha ke liye aa gayi hai...aur aab mere hi paas to rehne wali hai...Phir ye ansu kyun...? She asked chuckling through tears and wiped her eyes...

Dilip chuckled and kept a hand on her head and Kripa smiled at him wiping her tears and hugged him...

D: Beta, Angad ko dhund rahi thi na...? He asked with a grin and Kripa nodded shyly...Uska show hai aaj aur kal Banglore mein...Issiliye nahi aa saka...! Kripa smiled and nodded...

Av: Bilkul bhi nahi badli tum...Avantika said chuckling and kissing her forehead...Aab chalo...Kartik aur Priya tumhari raah dekh rahe hain...!

K: Ma, Aliyah ...

Av: Woh puna gayi hai...Kaam ke silsile mein ...She said smiling...aa jayegi...Kripa smiled and started taking her trolley, when Dilip asked her to go with Avantika, while he took the trolley...Kripa smiled and walked with Avantika...

They sat in the car and were on their way home soon...Kripa was surprised to see that they had a driver and Dilip was not driving the car, but kept quite...

D: To Kripa beta, aab age kya karne ka socha hai tumne...?

Av: Aap bhi na, abhi to ayi hai, aur aap chalu ho gaye...Ghar mein kadam bhi nahi rakha usne abhi tak...! She said frowning...

D: Thik hai baba...Kripa beta, US kaisa laga...Kuch problem to nahi hui na wahan...? He asked chuckling and Kripa chuckled too...

K: Nahi papa, kuch problem nahi hui...Angad ne saab set karke diya tha, aur Kanan bhi to thi wahin...

Av: Mujhe to itni chinta ho rahi thi teri...!

D: Avanti, tum bahot tension leti ho...Kaha tha na mein ne, ki Angad saab sambhal lega, aur Kripa ko bhi khud par confidence ayega, agar woh wahan akeli rahegi to...Dekho, ek dum thik thak tumhare samne khadi hain...he said grinning...

Kripa smiled and looked at Avantika...

K: Ma, papa bilkul thik keh rahe hain...Bahot kuch sikha hain mein ne wahan...! Aur aab to itne friends ban gaye ki...she chuckled...Meri to puri duniya hi badal gayi wahan jakar...! She said sighing and looking down...Avantika and Dilip smiled at her proudly and nodded...

Soon they stopped before their new home and Kripa looked at the house with wide eyes...

K: Ma ye? Ye kahan aye hain hum...Ye kiska ghar hain...

Avantika chuckled...

Av: Apna, aur kiska...She said proudly...Chalo aab, yahin se dekhti rahogi kya...

Kripa just stared at the house in awe and kept looking at it, as she got down and Dilip chuckled...The security people bowed at the them...

D: Tumhe surprise dena chahte the hum, issiliye nahi bataya...He said keeping a hand on her shoulder...

K: Baap re itna bada ghar? She said slowly looking around...Aab ne jab kaha ki ghar liya hai, to mujhe laga ki...Par ye to...she was speechless...

Av: Chalo aab...Avantika said with a grin and they slowly walked up...

K: Papa, mere bags lena to bhul hi gayi...ek minute...Dilip stopped her...

D: Teady le ayega...Tum chalo...

K: Teady? She asked confused...

Dilip chuckled...Humara naukar...Kripa looked at him wide eyes...Driver, security, servants...this all was a new concept for her...!

K: Papa, ye saab...

D: Thode dinon mein saab samajh jaogi...aab chalo to...tumhari ma arati ki thal liye khadi hain...he said showing her to the door...Kripa smiled and slowly walked up, still feeling out of place...!

Avantika and Priya took out her aarati and she smiled shyly at them and walked in looking around in awe...

K: Vow...ma ye saab kab hua...? She asked surprised...Avantika chuckled...

Av: Jab meri donon bahunein ek hi din humare ghar mein shubh kadam dalkar andar ayi tab...She said chuckling...Kripa and Priya smiled at her and Avantika sighed...Atlast Kripa was here and her family was complete...! She had missed her, even though she knew it was just for few years...She had not even missed Angad so much, when he went away, as much as she missed Kripa...!

Av: Priya, jao Kripa ko uska room dikha do...Kripa jaldi se nahakar taiyar ho jao...Khana taiyar hai...!

K: Ji ma...she said going with Priya looking around...Bhabhi, itna bada ghar liya, aur mujhe kisi ne bataya bhi nahi? She asked complaining...

Priya chuckled...

P: Bas 4 mahine hi hue hain Kripa, aur hum ne socha ki tumhe thoda surprise de...To bas issiliye nahi bataya...Ye lo, ye raha tumhara aur Angad ka karma...she said opening the door and Kripa's heart stopped beating...She nervously walked inside and just stood there open mouthed...Kyun pasand aya? Priya asked grinning...Aab jaldi nahakar niche aa jao...Mein ma ki madad kar deti hun...Sara khana unhone aaj akeli hi kiya hai...Mein abhi ayi thodi der pehle office se to kuch help nahi kar saki...

Kripa nodded and sighed looking around...There were few of their wedding photos on the wall as wel as some old photos...She sighed looking at Angad's photo...She had missed him, though she had been angry on him...As he was...he had a valid reason, but he was not even ready to listen to her and did not even talk to her properly and had went back to India, without a word after that...! And she had made up her mind and lived there and finished her education...! She had made more friends, and had gotten involved in every activity to divert her self, went to college trips, joined her friends in outings and had tried to just keep her self busy as she could be...! Though she never mentioned about it to anyone...! No one other than Angad Kripa, were aware of their cold war...! Not even Avantika and Dilip...! She then looked at one of Angad's photo on the wall, which seemed to be the latest one, with his guitar in hand...She could see that it was taken in one of the show and looked at it with awe...He looked totally different here...! She stared at his photo for a long time until she remembered what Avantika had said...

She looked at her suitcases, which some how magically reached there and grinned...! She quickly took out her clothes and went in and took her bath and quickly got ready...She sat on the bed thinking about Angad...Dilip had said that he would be back in couple of days and would call her after his show today...There was a knock on the door and Kripa went and opened the door and smiled at Kartik who grinned looking at her...

Ka: Kaisi ho Kripa...?

K: Thik hun bhaiya...She said smiling and touching his feet...Sorry, mein fresh ho raha tha, jab tum ayi...Issiliye mil nahi saka...chalo niche...khana khane...Kripa nodded and went with him...

Avantika smiled looking at her and asked her to sit and eat...Kripa looked around at the huge dinning and sat down totally in awe...They all ate their dinner, talking about Kripa and her graduation...Her stay...Kartik and Angad's success...Kripa smiled happy for Angad, as his dreams about becoming the rockstar at last fulfilled...When she was done, she asked Avantika if she could go and see around the house and Avantika just pulled her cheeks and smiled...

Av: Pagal ladki...Ghar bada hua to kya hua...Tumhara hi to hain...! Akhir tumhare pati ke khun pasine ki kamayi hain...she said chuckling...Kripa blushed and slowly went out...Priya helped Avantika, while Kartik retired to their room tired from the busy day...

Kripa went from room to room looking stunned at every single thing...They were always well off, but this was just pure luxury out of magazine world, where she did not know how she would fit...Specially with Angad not even talking to her...Suddenly, she felt out of place in the big house, but blinked back her tears and kept looking...At last she came to a locked door and frowned...

Av: Beta, woh Angad ka work studio hain...Uski chabi to ussise leni hogi...Hume bhi nahi jane deta...Kehta hai, ki uske music notes aur cds idhar udhar ho jayenge...She said chuckling and Kripa smiled...

K: Ma, Aliyah kab ayegi?

A: Aab tak to aa jana chahiye tha...pata nahi...Kahin der ho gayi hogi...

Al: Wrong mom...Aliyah said jumping on her from behind and Avantika jumped with scare...

A: Aliyah...she shouted angrily...ye kya tarika hai...Meri jaan nikalegi ek din tu...she said angrily and Aliyah chuckled and kissed her cheeks...sorry mom...Jaan jaye apake dushman ki...Hey Kripa bhabhi...How are you Miss Universe...You are looking georgeous...! She said with a grin and going to her with a chuckle...Kripa chuckled and went to her and hugged...

K: Mein thik hun Aliyah...par tum aaj kal jara jyada hi busy dikhai deti ho...? Phone karun to bhi nahi milti thi...

Avantika rolled her eyes...Iski to pucho hi mat Kripa...Din raat office aur uska kaam...! Mein to tang aa gayi hun issase...!

Al: Common Mom...tum ate hi issase meri shikayat karne lagi...are thode dinon ke baad karti...sari baatein aaj hi bata dogi to kuch interesting to rahega nahi na phir iske liye...Kyun Kripa...

A: Aa...tu phir se...

Al: Common mom...She is smaller than me...I don't like all these formalities...She said making faces...Kripa chuckled...

K: Rehne dijiye na ma...Aliyah thik keh rahi hai...Mein to issase choti hun aur hum sath mein bade hue hain...

A: Mein ne ek baar na kaha to keh diya...! She said looking at them frowning...Aliyah, choti hi sahi, par tumhare bade bhai ki patni hai woh...So, start learning to give some respect...! Aab jao aur hath muh dho lo...Humesha bak bak ...

Aliyah rolled her eyes and winked at Kripa...

Al: Kripa...bhabhiii...she said laughing at her mothers wide eyes...and ran before her mom would hit her, while Kripa started laughing...Avantika looked at Kripa and smiled pulling her cheeks...

A: Ja beta aaram kar le...Raat ke 11 baj rahe hain...!

K: Ji ma...Good night...Avantika smiled and suddenly the phone started ringing...Avantika chuckled...tumhara hi hoga...Jao...uthao...Kripa smiled a little and slowly went to the phone with beating heart...Angad's number was displayed on the phone and her breathe caught in her throat...Avantika tapped on her shoulder and Kripa looked back a little dazed, while Avantika pointed her to the phone...Kripa blushed a little and slowly picked up the phone, while Avantika left...

But before she could say a word, she heard Angad talking to Aliyah...

Al: Bhai...not fair...You should have been here for Kripa...Yeh kya, woh ayi aur tum hi yahan nahi ho...!

A: Aliyah, aab pareshan karna bandh kar, aaur ma ko sirf itna bata dena ki mein parson subah nahi sham ko aa raha hun...!

Al: What? Aur late...

A: Common Aliyah...bas jitna bataya utna ma ko bol dena...don't start your questions again...?

Al: Acha ye to batado...Aab to bhabhi aa gayi hain...unhe bataun ya phir ma ko...

A: Mujhe ane to de wahan...bahot mar khane wali hai tu aab...!

Al: Acha, Bhabhi se baat karaun...bechari akele kamre mein tumhare liye tadapti hogi...Pure saal alag rahi hai tumse...She must be missing you bhai...she said dramatically...

A: Mein baad mein baat karlunga...aab mujhe neend aa rahi hai...mein rakhta hun...

Al: Acha iska matlab apne room mein akele baat karna hai...But before she could say anything further Angad kept the phone and Aliyah chuckled and kept the phone as well...He sighed looking at Kripa's photo in his hand...No, he will now talk, when they will be face to face...! He will wait for the right moment and tell her the truth...He smiled thinking about Kripa proudly...He slowly kissed the photo and closed his eyes with a sigh...It had been a bad year for him, not on professional stand, but personally...He had missed her like crazy...!

Kripa smiled sadly, her eyes filling with tears...So, he did not even want to talk to her...! Fine...

Kripa looked at the empty room and sighed sitting down...Her eyes filled with tears as she closed her eyes and thought about her and Angad's last visit at the restaurant before he left for India...! She had not cried for one full year...Tried to be strong and had immersed herself in studies and activities, until she was tired and slept without a thought...But today, she had nothing to do, but think about the fight they had...May be she had time to think, but she avoided it...she thought sadly...She wiped her tears and slowly slid into the cold blankets looking around the huge room and closed her eyes...It all felt cold and huge, sleeping there all alone...Her room back in States was not even 12 by 12 ft...And that too she had shared with kanan and then another fresher...And this was like 4 times bigger...! She missed Angad and hugged the pillow...She wasn't able to sleep even after an hour or so, so switched on the TV...She kept changing the channels, until suddenly she frowned and got up in the bed and stared at the TV blankly...

It was Angad and Mishti walking arm in arm, smiling at the people, who were crowding around him to get an autograph...Mishti grinned and said something to Angad and he chuckled waving at the crowd...She switched off the TV immediately as her eyes filled with tears...!

No! Another Misunderstanding? Can't wait to find out what happens next. Thanks for the PM
