-: What I Did For Luv :-
Part 1
My name is Kripa. I'm 19, still very young, but I am dying. Not right now but my life is slowly fading away as I'm writing my story. At this moment I'm sitting at our?? spot. Mine and Angads, the love of my life. The sun is slowly beginning to set over the lake. I took a glance at my reflection in the water. My outside looks have change drastically within the past few months, but the water reflected the true me.Inside I'm still the same person. I have done and given so much for love but never once, have I received it back from Angad. There are times that I wanted to tell him everything that I've done for him and make him love me back. But I can't. Love is not selfish.
So I did what felt right. I kept giving Angad my love and I never asked for his love in return. Even though i'm leaving this world pretty soon, my love for him will still remain. My story begins when I first met Angad six years ago on this one fateful day. It all started out......
Part 2
You better come back here you good for nothing brat! I covered my ears with my palms. That was my stepmother calling me. Her voice sounds murderous and I didn't want to face her today. She had slapped and hit me too much already. I'm afraid I can't take it anymore so I hid in my closet. I peeked through the crack in my closet and saw my stepmom with a really pissed off look on her face. She was holding that stick that I'm always afraid of. I winced thinking about how much it would hurt if she hits me with it again. I just thirteen and whoever said 13 was an unlucky number, they were right.My mom had died when I was just turning ten. Before she died she told me that I was the most beautiful girl in the world and how proud she was to be my mother. She said even though she'd be gone, her love will be with me forever. Tears rolled down my cheeks. If you love me mommy, how can you be so selfish to leave me?? So now when I had turn 13 my dad had married Naina, who is my stepmom. She is a cold-hearted woman who tortured me all day. Any self-esteem I had for myself was shattered the moment she came into my life. And my life became a living hell.
My closet door suddenly opened. Here you are you wicked girl! My stepmom started cussing at me as she pulled me out and threw me onto the floor. I began to tremble because I knew what was going to happen next. *Whack whack whack.* I cried out in pain but I knew that no one is going to hear my cries. I desperately began to gasp for air. My heart was aching again. I couldn't breathe. Not again! Don't you see how much you've costing your father and me with your heart problems. If it wasn't for all these medical bills we wouldn't be so poor now. I had this heart condition where air would suddenly shut off and I couldn't breathe. The doctors are trying to save me by giving me a respirator and pills, but they're not sure how much longer I'll be able to live.
My dad **(who was a pathetic excuse for a man)** came in. He looked down at me with sorrowful eyes. He held my stepmom's arm lightly and said, I think she's had enough. You don't want her to have another attack. Do you?? Calm down and let's have dinner. That's why I'm hitting her! She yelled. She got detention and stayed after school for an hour. She was supposed to be home to go buy food for dinner and make it. Your daughter is so evil. She wants me to starve to death or something! I didn't get detention. The teacher wanted to talk to me about...... But I was cut off by the whack of my stepmom's stick. I cried silently in pain and turned away. I didn't want to look at her.
My dad said, well, dinner's just going to be a little late today. Kripa, say sorry to your mom. Despite the pain, I managed to say, Sorry mom. Please forgive me. My dad handed me some money. Here. Go buy food to make dinner tonight. My stepmom's temper simmered down a little as my dad lead her out of my room. I picked up the money and headed for the store.
Mr. Choi, the owner of Choi Food Market, shook his head as I walked in. He knew what kind of hell I was going through. I finished my shopping and checked out. That'll be $3.49.?What??I asked. Mr.Choi. That's impossible. With all this stuff it should be around $15.00?? I know Kripa! Mr. Choi gave me a sad smile. The exact price is $14.32. Why don't you keep the change for yourself?? I opened my mouth in shock. Mr. Choi…I..I can't do that, I said as I handed him 20. He only took five. "No. Keep it. I know that stepmom of yours don't give you any money. I looked up at Mr. Choi with tears in my eyes. Here he was, just a friend reaching out to me. I said thanks and headed for home.
Part 3
I decided to take a shortcut home but as I passed the alley, a hand pulled me in. I was knocked to the ground and a shadow hovered over me. I began to scream but the same hand covered my mouth. "Shut up or I'll kill you! I shut my mouth instantly. I didn't want to die yet. In the moons reflection I got a good look of my attacker. It was a boy who looked a little bit older than me. His face and clothes were dirty but he had really good features so I could tell he was extremely good-looking. But this was not a time to think about such things.He held a table knife at my throat and said, "Give me all your money or I'll kill you? I panicked but I knew what to do. I used the move I wanted to use on my stepmom every time she pinned me down and hit me. I kicked him hard right into his family jewels. He gasped and fell to the floor, dropping the knife. I picked up my groceries and ran. I guess you can call me the dumbest person alive. I was afraid I had kicked the boy too hard and permanently damaged him. Besides, since my life is hell already, I didn't want him to go through it too.
So I turned back. When I came back to the alley, the boy was still lying on the floor. He was moaning softly. I lifted him up gently. "Are you okay??I asked. He shook his head no. "I'm sorry", I said to him. I reached into my pocket and pulled the money Mr. Choi gave me. "If you need money, then here. All I have is ten dollars. I placed the money in his hand and walked away. He looked at me with this weird expression that I couldn't read. I picked up my groceries and this time I left without turning back. I could tell the boy was watching me as I was walking away.
Part 4
Angad stared at the girl who had just walked away. 'She must be the nicest or dumbest person in this world' He thought. He began to stand up but had to use the wall for balance. That girl had kicked him a little too hard. Angad had just run away from home again. He had ran away so many times that the alley was his second home. When he ran away he always stole his parents money.They were the richest people in all of Bombay but they were also the most messed up family. His dad would have a lot of women with him and would betray a friend if it would bring him money. His mom, on the other hand, was an exact duplicate of his dad. She always had these young men around her and spend money like crazy. His parents were divorced and lived on opposite ends of India?? bleep* and bas***d, thought Angad. When he ran away this time, he didn't have the chance to steal any money from his dad. So he had no choice but to rob somebody. When he saw the young girl walking out of the store, she seemed to be the perfect target.
But things didn't turn out as planned. Angad kept wondering why the girl gave him the money even though he could have killed her. Angad knew he couldn't take the money because she was the first person in his messed up life that was nice to him because she wanted to be, not because she wanted something from him. He wanted to give the money back. When he gained some of his strength back, he began to chase her.
Part 5
When I came home, I was greeted by the usual words. 'Ugly wretch, wicked girl, freeloader,etc. But luckily I made it through dinner fine. When dinner ended,my parents went to sleep leaving me with the dishes. I cleaned the table and washed the dishes. I also took out the trash and then suddenly I felt someone grab me from behind.My attacker turned me around to face him. It was the same boy I met in the alley. I began to panic. "I gave you all my money already! What more do you want from me?? He raised a finger to his lips and tried to shush me. I felt one of my attacks coming on. I started to hyperventilate and couldn't breathe. I was beginning to black out. Angad looked at the girl who looked like she was going to die. "Oh my God! Are you okay??This time it was the girl's turn to shake her head no. Then she collapsed in his arms. Angad didn't know what to do but he had to save her life. He began to give her mouth to mouth. "Come on",he whispered to her. "Breathe. Don't die on me...
After a while she began coughing and opened her eyes. I opened my eyes and saw a blurry object heading towards me. Then I felt something soft pressing against my lips and I felt a gust of air. Then I realized the boy was giving me air. I couldn't believe what was happening. I blushed and gently pushed him away. "Thank you for saving me. I'm okay now. The boy turned slightly red. "Uhh…you're welcome. You kinda scared me there? "Sorry about that. Well, what is it that you want from me?? "Here". He handed me back the same ten dollars I had given him. I looked up at him. "No, it's okay. Keep it. I think you need it or you wouldn't have tried to rob me.He shook his head. "No. I just wanted to borrow it only. I don't take charity. Well, goodbye. Just as he walked away, I heard his stomach grumble.
I bit my tongue so I wouldn't laugh. Since he didn't take charity, I said, "Um, hey. I just made some food and I don't know if it's good or not. I need a guinea pig because I don't want to serve it to my parents if it isn't and besides, you did save my life. Angad looked at her. 'Why is she being so nice to me?? He thought. He knew she was just saying that because she heard him say he doesn't want charity. Angad's stomach was growling like crazy.
He hadn't ate for 2 days already and the mention of food was killing him. "Uh, okay. I guess I'll be your guinea pig since I have nothing to do. He studied her face as she smiled at him. 'She's pretty, he thought as he smiled back.
Part 6
I let the boy wait outside as I got some of the leftover dinner for him. He finished it in less than a minute. Then he leaned back and sighed. Out of nowhere, he let out a burp. I had to giggle. He looked at me and smiled. "Sorry about that", "It's okay. I hesitated before I asked him the next question. "Umm…so what's your name??He glanced at me and then stared at the ground. I could tell he was debating to tell me his real name or not. I didn't want him to feel obligated to telling me his name. "It's okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Angad looked at her surprised. "No! It isn't that! he yelled. She stared back at him surprised too. Then he lowered his voice. "I'm sorry. Please don't misunderstand. She nodded her head slowly and Angad can tell that she was confused.
Angad felt that he could trust her and he wanted her to be his friend. "My name is Angad Khanna and you are?? "I'm Kripa Sharma" Then she gave him the sweetest smile. Angad felt his heart beat a little faster when she smiled at him. He blushed and looks away. "So uh, how old are you??? 13, she replied. "And you Angaddddd?He smiled when she called him that. "I'm 15, He said turning back to look at her. 15??I asked in disbelief. Angad nodded. "Where are your parents? You're too young to be living in the streets. He shrugged his shoulders. "I can take care of myself. I gave him a doubting look because he was trying to pull that tough guy act on me. "It's okay though, he told me. "I have a family. It's just that things are bad at home so I'm just getting away from it for a while. 'So he ran away, I figured out.
I could tell that Angad was a good person. "Do you have a place to stay tonight?? He shook his head. "How about staying in my room then!I offered. Angad couldn't believe his ears. He stared at Kripa. 'Did she just offer him a place to stay?? "Angad??" Kripa asked as she waved a hand in front of his face. "Are you okay?? Angad shook his head and snapped out of it. She placed her hand on his knee."Angad" I asked if you want to stay in my room for tonight?? Angad was so touched that he felt his heartache.
No one had ever cared about him so much but he didn't want to feel as though he owed her. "No thanks. Kripa looked at him with her big sad eyes. "Please Angad I'm afraid of the dark." Angad smiled. He knew she was lying so he would say yes. For the first time in his life, Angad felt warm inside because now he is wanted. He let out a sigh. "Alright Kripa. You talked me into it. But just for tonight though." She giggled and nodded. "Okay."
Part 7
Silently, I led Angad into my room. My room was small and luckily, it was far away from my parents so they can't hear much. I let Angad have the bed while I take the floor. 'Damn, I thought. 'Why does the floor have to be so cold and hard?? Angad stared down at Kripa who was trying to sleep on the cold stone floor.
He picked her up easily and lifted her onto the bed. "Angadd? What are you doing?? I whispered as my eyes grew wide. "Do you trust me?? he asked. I nodded my head slowly. "Good," he said. "This bed is small but it'll fit both of us. My eyes grew wider at what Angad had just said. But I had just told him that I trusted him.
I couldn't take my words back so I had no choice but to sleep with him. We both got in my bed and slept side-by-side. I was so nervous, I couldn't sleep. Angad, on the other hand, had no problem. He fell asleep instantly. I turned my head over to look at him. His face was so innocent like an angel when he was sleeping. Who would have thought he was such a devil when he's awake and moving?
An hour had passed and it was 3 in the morning. I still couldn't sleep. Suddenly something weird happen. Angad turned his entire body around and did a 360, kicking me. "Ow!" I cried out but covered my mouth so my parents wouldn't hear me. When he was done, he had this happy look on his face. At first I thought he was just playing with me but he really did do a 360 in his sleep. Suddenly he reached over and held me tight.
My entire body went tense and rigid. I could feel Angad's light breathing on my neck. I don't know why but now that Angad was this close (practically laying on top of me) made me feel better. It's probably cause I've never been this close to a person in a long time. Soon I began to fall asleep too...Part 8
Angad opened his eyes and found himself laying partially on kripa's body. He blushed and slowly moved away from her. Then he just laid near her watching her sleep. Suddenly it caught his eyes. The sleeves and pant legs of her pajamas were lifted up and he got a good look at her arms and legs. Dark purple bruises cover her entire body.
There were several scars on her legs and arms too. Red lines run across her legs and it made Angad wince because it looked so painful. He didn't want to disturb Kripa but he was really curious. She turned over and Angad lifted the back of her shirt. It was even worse than her legs. Angad opened his mouth lightly in shock and touched her bare back delicately, fearing that he might hurt her.
Kripa began to stir. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. I saw Angad looking at me with this sad expression on his face. "What's wrong Angad?? I asked. "Who did this to you??" Then he lifted the sleeve of my shirt. I opened my mouth in shock. I tried to hide it but I couldn't believe he saw my bruises. As I tried to answer him, I heard my stepmom's footsteps heading towards my room. "Angad" I yelled who was rubbing my bruises. "You have to get out of here!"
My mom is coming! Angad looked at me surprised but I opened my window for him to climb out. "Climb down this tree. Goodbye Angadddd" I said to him with tears in my eyes. Angad remained silent the whole time as he left her room. But he didn't leave though. He sat on the branch of the tree and looked through her window.He couldn't hear what Kripa and her mom were talking about but he saw it. He saw Kripa's mom bring out a small wooden stick and whack Kripa with it several times. Angad couldn't take it anymore. He busted back into kripa's room.
Part 9
I looked up at my step-mother in pain. "I'm sorry mom." I didn't know we're supposed to have guests today. She glared at me with cold hatred in her eyes. "Mr. Khanna, of the Khanna HotelEmpire all over Bombay, is coming to visit us. Your father might get a promotion if we make a good impression!
You're supposed to be awake half an hour ago to prepare all of us tea! Now Mr. Khanna is down there expecting tea! What am I supposed to do now huh?? My stepmom began to breathe rapidly as her anger increased. I saw her raise that stick of hers again. I curled myself up hoping the pain would lessen but I know it wouldn't so I prepared myself for the strike.
Angad caught the stick just before it would hit Kripa. Kripa's mother stared at Angad in surprise. Kripa opened her eyes and stared at Angad in shock. He looked down at her. "Kripa, are you okay?? "Angad" I screamed. "What are you doing here??" Angad looked back at me. "I came to save you from this evil *bleep*. My stepmom twisted her face in hate. "I knew you were trouble all this time Kripa. How dare you bring this boy home? Wait until I tell your father about this!"
Angad grabbed my stepmom's arm to stop her. "You do that and I'll have you fired!" I stared at Angad dumb founded. What is he talking about?? "What are you talking about you juvenile delinquent!" Snapped my stepmom. "I mean," said Angad glaring at her. That you're having tea with my father right now and I'll get you and your husband fired if you hit Kripa one more time. I look at Angad surprised.
Angad is the heir of the Khanna Hotel Empire. His family is the richest in all of Bombay! My stepmom looked at Angad doubtfully. "If you're his son, then how come you're so filthy??" Angad gaveher a smirk. "I know you want proof. How about all of us go down there to talk to my dad!"
My stepmom looked at him and thought, this is the only way for real evidence. He might get us a promotion. Then she said, "Come on then, boy. Let's go."Part 10
All three of us came downstairs together. Angad had to help me down because my legs were too weak to support me. Angad helped me sit on the couch and he faced the strange man before me. Mr. Khanna glared at Angad. "Hi dad," said Angad. "Where the hell have you been Angad??" shouted Mr. Khanna. My family just watched them yell at each other. Angad shrugged his shoulders. "Around." It made Mr. Khanna really mad but he never hits Angad. He continued yelling. Angad didn't really listen and after a while he cut his dad off.
"Look dad, shut up about it already and we'll talk about it at home." 'Dang' I thought. I could never talk to my parents like that. Mr. Khanna shuts up. "Okay son, we'll talk about it at home." Then Angad gestured his hand at my entire family. "The Sharmas were nice enough to let me stay at their house. You owe them dad." Mr. Khanna nodded. "Fine. SHARMA you just got a raise." My stepmom got so excited. "Thank you Mr. Khanna!" "Come on Angad," said Mr. Khanna. "Let's go home & have that talk." Angad brushed his dad's hand off his shoulder. "Later dad. I'll be home in an hour."
His father glared at him. Angad glared back. "I said one hour." Mr. Khanna knew Angad was stubborn. So he agreed. "Fine then. One hour." After Mr. Khanna left Angad talked to my parents. "Listen here," he said as he sat down next to me. "I can get you hired and fired just like that' & snapped his fingers. "We know, we know", said my stepmom sweetly, pouring Angad some tea. Angad didn't drink it. "All I want is for you two to not touch Kripa anymore.
If I see another bruise on her, you know the consequences." Angad held my hand the entire time he spoke with my parents. I felt a strange warmth going through me and I knew that right then and there that I was falling in love with Angad Khanna. My dad remained quiet while my stepmother talked. "Of course Angad" Angad rolled his eyes. "Okay, and I'll make sure you keep your promise".
Then Angad turned to face me. "Come on, let's go". "What??" I asked confused. "Go to my house with me. "Go GO" said my stepmom pushing me towards Angad. "Have fun kids and stay out as long as you like". I knew my stepmom was really ticked off but she was playing it off pretty well.Part 11
Angad continued holding my hand and never once did he let it go. The walk to his house took us 15 minutes and I was enjoying every minute of it. When we reached his house, Angad let out a sigh. "Kripa", He said softly. "Just stay quiet and let me do the talking okay??" I nodded my head and we entered his house. His house was huge! I felt as though I'm a peasant walking through a castle.
He even had a few maids and butlers who attended us. Angad led me to his room. It was nice and clean but there were a lot of holes all around his walls. I sat down on his bed as he went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. When he was done, he came out and sat next to me, holding my hand. I really am in love. "Angad, how come your walls have a lot of holes??" He shrugged his shoulders and I massaged it for him. As he relaxed, he answered me. "Oh, it's cause I fight with my parents a lot so I take it out on the walls".
Judging by the holes, I can tell that he was really angry every time he made one. "Come on", he said. He lifted me up on his back and gave me a piggyback ride downstairs. He smelled so good now that he's clean and fresh. His dad was waiting for him in the den. I waited outside while Angad came into facehis dad. Angad came in, uninterested in what his dad had to say. "What is it dad??" "Angad, son…this is getting to be very tiring. Every few weeks you would run away, leaving me and your mother worrying about you". Angad smirked. "Sure you're worried. That's why you're out with those hoes and mom's out with those morons.
It's because I'm your only son. You're just scared that when grandpa passes away he won't put our family on the will". His father got angry. "Well do you want it to end up on your uncle's side??" Angad gave his dad a look that showed he didn't care. His dad continued talking. "Since I managed to have a son and my brother have no kids, I have the advantage. Son, listen to me. You know you're my heir.
All my wealth will be pass down to you". Angad looked at his dad disgusted. "All you care about is money! You don't care about me"! he yelled as he stormed out of the den. Angad slammed the door open and grabbed my hand. "Come on, let's go".Part 12
I was confused and didn't know what had happened. Angad held my hand and took me to the beach near his house. On the sand there were these 2 huge rocks. Angad led me over there. He lifted me up and we sat side by side. We remained silent until Angad took a deep breath of the ocean air. "I love this place, don't you??" he said to me smiling.
I returned his smile and held onto his hand tighter. "Angad, what's wrong??" Angad avoided my eyes. "Nothing". I turned his chin to face me. "Come on, you know you can tell me". He nodded. "It's my dad and this stupid feud he has with my uncle. They're fighting over who will get the larger part in my grandpa's will." "Ohhh"? I said softly. "Isn't it stupid??" he asked laughing. "My grandpa's not even dead yet"! I understood what was bothering him.So I didn't say anything because I know he doesn't want me to worry about it. He threw a rock into the ocean and it skipped three times. "Perfect" he said. "Why is it perfect??" I asked. "Age ain't nothing but a number right??" he asked me, changing the subject. I thought about it for a while and nodded. "Since I'm older than you by two years, that makes me your brother/protecter in a way" Angad said to me. "Yup," I answered, smiling. Angad smiled back. "I love you" I felt my heart filled with a bubble of love but then Angad continued talking.."as a brother *of course*".
My bubble bursted. This was not what I had expected him to say. I stared at Angad with wide eyes. I knew it was pretty forward of me but I had to ask. "M…my? brother??" I managed to stutter out. Angad looked back at me with his puppyish eyes and smiled. He nodded his head gently. Have I been reading all his signs wrong? "So what do you say??" he asked. "Want to be my sister??" Even though it was breaking my heart, I had no choice but to agree.
I nodded. "Yes, I would love to have you as my brother". "Good," he said. Angad nodded and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small silver knife. I stared at him with wide eyes. "Angad, what are you going to do with that knife??" He asked, "Do you trust me Kripa??" I nodded my head without hesitation. I trusted Angad with my whole heart. He smiled at me. "Good. Lower the back of your shirt."
Angad pulled the back of my shirt down. Then he used that knife to cut me. "Ow!" I screamed in pain but he continued anyways. He carved a small 'A" onto my shoulder blade. My back was bleeding and he bandaged it for me. Then he handed the knife to me. "Here. Engrave your initial "K" too.. My hand trembled as I held the knife. I didn't want to hurt Angad. "Go ahead. Don't worry, I can stand the pain."
I engraved an "K" onto Angad's back. I was surprised because he didn't let a tear drop or cry out in pain. I bandaged him and he acted as if nothing had happen. When it was over, he held me close. I held onto Angad tightly as if he was going to leave me. I know he only thinks of me as his little sister but it feels nice holding him like this.
As Angad held onto Kripa, his smiling face instantly turned sad. He wanted to say 'Kripa, I love you as a girlfriend' so she would be his forever but he couldn't. He wasn't the type to admit his feelings. So he figured the scarring was not an engravement of his brotherly love to Kripa, but his promised symbol as a soulmate to her forever.Part 13
Years had pass and I'm still with Angad. I didn't think it was possible but I grew more and more in love with Angad everyday. We would do a lot of stuff together and we never had any fights. We argue, but it never came to the point where we would get really mad at each other and he usually let me have it my way. Prithivi was Angad's other friend and he hangs out with us a lot too. Prithivi is a little older than me and is really nice. He has this really cute smile that when he smiles, you can't help but smile back. His family life also isn't good. His dad is a drunk and his mom had passed away when he was young.
So usually it was the three of us together. My home life is a lot better thanks to Angad. My stepmom didn't dare to touch me anymore and it's still the same between me and my dad. We don't talk much. Angad's parents like me a lot too. It's because when they tell Angad to do something and he wouldn't do it. They would come to me. I'm kind of like their pawn. Life was heaven for me until it completely shattered on one day. It started out with good news but who would have known it would end up in tragedy?
June 15, 1998 My stepmom and dad came home one day from visiting the Khannas. "Guess what??" my stepmom told me excitedly. "What??" I asked calmly. "The Khannas are planning a wedding for you and Angad!" I sat down because my knees gave out. This news hit me with total surprise but I was so happy to hear it because I'm so in love with Angad. "Really??" I asked excitedly "How did this happened??" Mr. Khanna wanted Angad to get married and he figured you're the girl he should marry." "What did Angad say??" I had to ask. I didn't want him to be forced into this. "Of course he agreed," she answered. My breathing increased so I took out my respirator. After I calmed down, my stepmom took me into her room and told me all about the arrangements.Part 14
Meanwhile back at the Khanna mansion?"Just because you're making this wedding for me and Kripa doesn't mean I owe you anything! Angad yelled angrily at his dad. Mr. Khanna grabbed Angad by the collar of his shirt. "Angad! You listen to me. Once you and Kripa get married, your grandpa's will gives you all of his businesses. Sharing part of it with your dad isn't asking for much is it??" Angad pushed his dad away.
He began to laugh. "The only two people grandpa will give the businesses to is me or uncle. He won't give it to you because you'll spend it all on those *bleep*s! I bet all your money is gone now." It was true. Mr. Khanna was in serious debt and he needed Angad to get married because Angad's grandpa was going to give Angad his inheritance once he gets married. Angad had just turned 18 and his dad had planned the marriage months ahead. His dad got on his knees. "Please son. Please do it for me".
Angad rolled his eyes. "You're so pathetic dad." He sighed. Living with Kripa taught him compassion and sympathy for people. "I'll see what I can do dad". He went into his room. Just then his cellular phone rang. He picked it up, thinking it was Kripa. Using his sexy voice, he whispered, "Hi Kripa." A weird high-pitched giggle came from the other end of the line. "Ooh" said the voice. "Hi to you too sexy." Angad rolled his eyes. "Oh shut up Prithivi."
Using his real voice, Prithivi began to laugh out loud. "Gross man, That's how you talk to Kripa! Ew! It gives me the chills!". "Hey Prithivi," said Angad seriously. "Is everything set and ready to go??" "Yeah man," said Prihivi. "Good," said Angad, smiling. "Meet me at the docks tonight. From there we can sail to the mainland airport and get away from Bombay to start a new life in Japan." "Yeah," said Prithivi. "But did you tell Kripa about it??" "No," answered Angad, sighing. "I'm afraid she won't leave her family. I'm planning to just kidnap her and take her along.
It's easier that way and no hassle." "Right," said Prithivi. "At least the three of us will still be together"."Yeah," said Angad. "Meet you in an hour. Get everything ready. I got our money too." "Okay," replied Prithivi. "Bye." Angad clicked off his phone. Angad's dad didn't know it but his grandpa had given him $10 million in advance, along with hotel ownerships in Japan and Bombay as his wedding gift. He planned to leave his dad $5 million and live off the rest with Kripa and Prithivi. He smiled thinking about how he would get away from everything and just be with the one he loved the most, Kripa.Part 15
Back at home I was so excited I couldn't sleep. I know I was still young to be thinking about marriage but I know Angad is the only guy for me. I held my teddy bear close as thoughts of Angad drifted me to sleep. It was midnight now. Angad snuck out of his house quietly without making a noise.
He carried his backpack full of money on his back. He planned to go to Kripa's house to grab her and leave. Then it would be just him, Kripa, and Prithivi leaving together. He was almost to Kripa's house when he realized that he was being followed. It was his uncle's men. They came to get rid of him. Angad was smart. He knew the streets too well. He made it through the alley and those men end up losing him. But when Angad reached Kripa's house, about 10 men had surrounded her house. They all saw him approaching.
Angad began to run as they chased him. He made it to the dock. He saw Prithivi on the boat. "Angad! Hurry! The boat is leaving!" Angad threw his bag onto the boat first and made a high jump. He landed safely onto the boat. His uncle's men couldn't chase him anymore. Angad and Prithivi started cheering until Angad realized what was missing. KRIPA. He had left her. Angad fell to his knees. "What's wrong??" asked Prithivi. "Kripa! We left her! We have to go back!" yelled Angad.
Prithivi opened his mouth in shock because he just realized it too. Then he shook his head sadly. "We can't. If we go back, we'll just get killed and we'll be putting Kripa's life in danger too". Angad moved away from Prithivi, knowing that the darkness will cover his face. And for the first time in his life, Angad cried... -_-
😭 😭Part 16
I woke up the next morning with this strange feeling inside me. I don't know why but I find it disturbing. Then I remembered that Angad and I are going to get married soon, it subsided. When I went downstairs, my stepmom was holding that wooden stick I haven't seen in years. I began to panic. She whacked me with it. I fell down surprised.
"Where's Angad??" she screamed at me. I was so confused and surprised I didn't know what she was talking about. She kept hitting me and telling me to answer her. But how can I answer when I don't even know myself? Then something unusual happened. My dad grabbed the stick away from my stepmom. "Stop hitting her! Can't you tell that she can't think straight through all that pain" My stepmom was shocked and she kept her mouth shut because my dad never did that to her before. "Kripa," my dad said to me, holding my hand. "Angad ran away from home again.
He's no longer in Bombay and the wedding's canceled. "He left??" I asked blankly. My dad nodded his head sadly. "How can he leave me??" I asked standing up. My stepmom's next words hit me hard and cold like ice. "He probably left because he didn't want to marry you." I sunk to my knees and fell to the floor. I began to sob to myself. My parents left the room, leaving me alone. 'How can you leave me, Angadddddd????"
Were all those promises of taking care of me lies?? I loved Angad so much. All I ever wanted is to be with him, even if he did only consider me as his sister. I needed to know why he left. Being with him all this time, I knew where he went. I'll search all of Japan if I had to!
One year later....Part 17
One Year Later...
During this year, my life of hell had return. I managed to save up enough money for a ticket to Japan and money to spend. I had to work odd hours so my stepmom wouldn't find out or she'll take the money from me. I also had to sell some of Angad's gifts to me. He was a really generous brother who would buy me a lot of expensive clothes, jewelry, perfume, and just about anything that I wanted.
I figured he wouldn't mind because they're just material possessions. They were a big help because I managed to trade them in for a lot of money. I finally had enough money to leave. It took me a while to go because I knew chances are low of finding Angad right away. I needed extra money for my search and I had to pay double for a fake I.D. You could say that I have almost everything planned out.
I got a pretty good amount so I planned on leaving today. It's been a little over a year since Angad left me with no reason or explanation. I've gotten so much thinner because I couldn't eat or sleep and I missed him so much. The problem I still had facing me were my parents. I know they were not going to let me leave. I was only 17. Damn!!. Still a minor. This year had been total hell for me and I can't stand another year of it. I had to leave and I had a plan.
I was going to fake my death. It was all so perfect. My family had to go out to Goa with Mr. Khanna. He still keeps in touch with us. I guess it's because he thinks I might know where Angad is. Truth is, I have no idea except I know Angad's somewhere in Japan. I planned to fake a drowning. Because of my heart failure, it helped me close off my air circulation for up to 4 minutes.
This time I am using it to let my family think that I have drowned and the tides drifted my body to sea so I will never be found. But before I go I had to say goodbye to my father. I hugged him hard. He looked at me surprised. "What was that for??" he asked. I shook my head. "It wasn't for anything dad. I did it because I love you." My dad had tears in his eyes. "I'm so sorry Kripa.
I'm so worthless as your father." "No you're not but you have to do what's right dad. Don't let anyone stop you and stop putting yourself down." He nodded his head. I hugged him for the last time. "I'm going for a swim okay??" He nodded his head and watched me head toward the ocean. The plan went perfect.
I stayed underwater for a while and swam myself to the other side of the beach where they couldn't see me. All my belongings were there. I got on the dock and sailed to the mainland airport leaving Bombay forever.+.+.+.+.+Part 18
Angad traced the 'K' scar on his back. 'Damn," he thought. 'I miss Kripa so much. He sent out one of his men to retrieve news about her and if they could, get her here to him in Japan. Angad had it all. Money and power. The only thing that was missing was Kripa. So much had happened to Angad as he remembered back. Angad and Prithivi made it to Tokoyo, Japan.
With Angad's leadership skills and Prithivi's smooth talking, they end up getting a lot of businesses and putting others of out business. Money was not enough for Angad. He needed power so he created Sechs Kies, where he was the leader and Prithivi was his 2nd-in command. He and Prithivi managed to eliminate the group Quiksilver on their own and gained the respect and loyalty of the two members Mannan and Kartik. Along the way, they found Josh and Dhruv wandering the streets. Dhruv proved to be a genius and Josh was handy in finding information.
Angad knew they were enough. They had hundreds of men under them but Sechs kies were the main leaders with Angad as the head. They committed a lot of crimes but no evidence was ever found to convict them. Just then there was a knock on his door, interrupting his thoughts. "Come in," said Angad. Josh came in. "I have news for you, boss," he said. "Well what is it? What did you find out about Kripa??" Angad asked. Josh looked down and hesitated to reply. "I'm afraid it's bad news." Those words made Angad panic. "Josh, you answer me now!" yelled Angad with rage. Angad's yell scared Josh, so he blurted it out. "Kripa Sharma is DEAD.
She drowned while she was swimming in the ocean. Her body has not been found and is still missing." Angad fell back in his seat in shock. 'Kripa's dead..... No, anyone but Kripaa," he thought. Josh knew it was a good time to leave so he left Angad in his office. "Kripaaaaaaaaa" Angad screamed out of his window in pain. His cries echoed throughout the city of Tokoyo.Part 19
I finally made it to Osaka, Japan. I didn't know where to look for Angad, so anywhere was fine. I was never a lucky person. I couldn't find any signs of Angad there so I traveled to Oslo City. My search for Angad continued for another year. During that time I had traveled to many cities like Fukuoka - Hiroshima - Kansai etc. (GOSH!! I luv Japan, hope i can go there sumday) It must have been a gift from God because one day my search was over. I had just finish my overtime shift at the Sharma Hotel.
It was pretty ironic because my whole family spent their lives working for hotels and here is the biggest one in all of Tokoyo with our family name. I went into the worker's lounge to take a break and pour myself some tea. I sat down and read the headlines. 'Sechs-kies are to open a conference broadcasting live on Channel 6 today?I rolled my eyes. Not them again. They were the notorious mafia lead by Karan Khanna. I shuddered. I can't believe the leader has the same last name as my beloved Angad. Actually Sechs-kies was composed of 6 leaders. They committed a lot of crimes and were always challenging the authorities.
They had a lot of power and no one could take their pictures without their consent but a lot of people know what they look like. I didn't care. I was too busy looking for Angad to notice them. A worker with me named Harshni came in. "Hey," she said, patting me lightly on the knee. "On break??" I took a sip and nodded. "Me too," she said smiling. I smiled back at her. Harshni was actually one of the nicest people at the hotel. Most of them were cold and just worried about how much tips they can get. Harshni picked up the TV remote and turned to Channel 6. "Hey Kripa, there's supposed to be showing 6 Sech-skies today. Wonder what they look like. I nodded and watched with her.
When the clock struck 9, I felt my heart had stopped and it was not from my heart failure either. I stared at the face that was giving a *bleep*y smile to the camera. Angad. Slowly the camera pulled out revealing the other 5 members. I recognized Prithivi. He and Angad looked completely different but I still recognized them.Part 20
Angad had his hair dyed completely red/black while Prithivi's was streaked. Harshni and I watched them in silence as they began to talk. Angad and the others introduced themselves. Then the camera showed directly at Angad. To most people he would look like an evil gang leader but in my eyes he was a beautiful angel.
If it was ever possible, Angad was even finer than before. "Kripa, are you okay??" asked Harshni, as she waved a hand in front of my face. "Huh??" I asked looking at her. "Oh, I'm fine." Just listening to what they have to say. I pointed to Angad on the screen. "Who is he??" "That's Karan Khanna," she answered me. I stared at Angad some more. He had change his name and so did Prithivi. No wonder I couldn't find them. Harshni caught me staring so she smiled at me. "The leader is cute huh??" I blushed. "Yeah. Too bad in real life he's such a jerk." "He is not!" I yelled at her.
Harshni scooted her seat back in shock. I apologized right away. "Sorry Harshni, I didn't mean to yell at you." She had a confused look on her face but she said, "Uh, it's okay Kripa." I pulled a finger to my lips. "Shh…let's listen to what they have to say" Angad began talking. "This is Sechkies speaking to all you losers out there watching us. We just want to say that we're open to hire new 'employees'. We usually travel around to our many hotels but you'll find us if you have the right connections.
Also a word to the police of Japan. Why are you picking on us?, Angad asked sarcastically. "We're good, law-abiding citizens." Angad folded his hands together and gave a little bow. Then all of the Sechskies leaders started laughing. "Oh my gosh! Look at him!" yelled Harshni and pointed to Prithivi on the T.V. screen. "Look at that stupid smile and that perverted laugh. Kekeke?" Harshni made a poor impression of Prithivi's laugh and it made me laugh.
Geez, I thought. Prithivi would kill her if he knew she made fun of his trademark smile. The show ended a little too soon for me but Angad did say he was visiting many hotels and mine is the biggest one. He has to come here. I went back to work and waited for him to come.Part 21
Angad entered the main doors of the Sharma Hotel and headed towards the lobby. He let out a sigh. Being in a hotel brought back to him a lot of memories. He remembered how he would take Kripa to the hotels to trash it or slide down the long stairway banisters. But those carefree days are over.
His only love had died and he no longer has the heart to love anyone else. Eversince the news of Kripa's death, Angad began to develop a passion for anything he thinks is related to her. Things like her hairbrush, the same type of lipgloss she uses, her little respirator, etc. There are times when he had to give her mouth to mouth if the respirator wasn't around. Angad smiled remembering that she had told him that he was her first kiss. Kripa never went out with any guys so it made him really happy but he also found it very strange. He didn't want to give her any ideas about dating other guys so he never asked. Angad had changed his name to Karan.
It's to symbolize that Angad died with Kripa and Karan replaced him. He chose the name Karan because of Kripa's initial "K" and if anyone asks, the "K" stands for Karan. Prithivi wanted to changed his name to Ricky but Angad wouldn't let him. So Prithivi ended up changing it to "Micky". "Hey dude! Over here! shouted Prithivi. Angad looked over at his five friends. He walked over to them and was surprised at what he saw. "What the hell is this?? he asked angrily. Every single one of them had a girl in each arm. "What do you guys think you're doing?? he asked as he strode over to them. "Come on dude, Josh said . "Lighten up. "Yeah," said Kartik. "We worked hard all day and now let's have a little fun. Angad rolled his eyes and then he saw two girls wrap their arms around him. He smiled. "Yeah, I guess. Alright!" they all shouted.
They like it when Angad is in a good mood. From where I was standing, I felt as though someone had stabbed me with a knife. Angad looked so happy with those 2 girls sitting on both sides of his lap. I stared at my reflection in the hotel mirror. Big, glassy eyes, pale skin, and waist-length black hair. I looked kind of like a ghost. Not much to look at, I thought sighing sadly. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and I slowly turned around..Part 22
"What are you looking at??" asked Harshni. Whew. I let out a sigh of relief. "They're here," I whispered to her. "Who??" she asked, looking over my shoulder. "SechsKies." "Oh. So you want to go serve them??" I shook my head 'no" quickly. Harshni laughed. "Okay. Don't get so worked up, Kripa. I'll do it." She took a waitress pad and headed over to their table. I remained in the corner watching them.
"Hi, my name is Harshni and I'll be your waitress today. May I take your order?? All the SechsKies members looked up to the pretty, young girl who just approached them. Instantly Prithivi made the 2 girls on his lap move. He looked up at Harshni, giving her his best smile. "I don't know what I want for dinner, but you want to be my dessert??" The other 5 Kies members laughed while Harshni rolled her eyes. "That's so cute. Must have took you all day to think up that one huh??" "Ooh," shouted Josh. "This one has a mouth." Prithivi just smiled.
"Feisty. I like it." Then he pinched Harshni's side playfully. She moved away, glaring. "Hey don't touch me!" "Come on babe. Go out with me. I'll show you a good time." "Hell no!" Harshni shouted back in his face. Then Angad stood up. "Don't talk to my friend like that," he said in a low threatening voice. "Or else I'll have you fired." Angad's glare made Harshni move back a little bit but she answered back anyways.
"You can't fire me! I quit!" She handed Josh her apron and pad and stomped over to me in the dark corner. "Stupid, lousy jerks, she whispered to me. "I know," I whispered back, patting her shoulder. Suddenly, I caught Angad staring at me. I didn't know what to say or do so I just left.Part 23
Angad stared at the girl who was talking to Harshni. 'She looks like Kripa, he thought. 'But can't be." "Dude, said Prithivi. "Why are you looking at??" "Her," said Angad, pointing in Harshni's and Kripa's direction. "You like my waitress too??" asked Prithivi, pouting.
"No," said Angad, shaking his head. "Her friend. Doesn't she look like Kripa?? Prithivi glanced at the person Angad was pointing to and watched her walk away. "No..." said Prithivi slowly. "That girl's hair is much longer and Kripa has a nicer body. That chick looks like a stick."
Angad *bleep*ed an eyebrow at Prithivi. "How do you know Kripa has a nice body?? Prithivi's eyes widened. "I dunno....just guessing. Josh's calling me. I'll go see what he wants," Prithivi said quickly and ran over to Josh right away. Angad began to chase the girl who just left. I heard some footsteps following behind me. I quickly turned a corner and entered my room.
Angad ran after her as fast as he could. He saw the girl turn a corner and he continued chasing her. He saw a figure up ahead and he grabbed her by the shoulder. When the girl turned around, she had a surprised expression on her face. "What do you want??" Angad looked at the strange girl. She looked nothing like Kripa. "Wrong person." The girl walked way. Angad sighed. 'Maybe it's cause I miss Kripa so much that I'm beginning to see her." He began to walk back to the lobby, disappointedly.
From my hotel room, I was watching Angad with the little hole in the door. I saw him pat a girl and then walk away with him head bowed down. I went over and sat down on my bed. I let out a sigh. Angad doesn't miss me. He has too many girls with him already. He probably forgot who I am by now. Tears fell down my face and I didn't even realize it. I quickly wiped them away. I wanted to tell myself that I hate Angad but I couldn't because then I'd just be lying. There was only one thing left for me to do. I stood in front of my bathroom mirror.
I can't be with Angad as Kripa, but I wanted to be by his side to watch over him. I thought about it for a while and remembered they were recruiting new members for Black Kies. I looked at myself. Hmm…if my hair is short and put into a cap, I wear sunglasses more, darken my skin with make-up, and lower my voice…I can pass for a guy. So I did it. Within an hour, I had transformed myself into a guy.
I checked myself over. As a guy, I didn't look too bad. I smoothed out my new short hair and tucked it into a cap. Guys wear earrings too so I didn't have to worry about my earring holes. I wore a couple of T-shirts under my flannel and 2 pairs of boxers under my baggy jeans so I would fill out more and wouldn't look so scrawny. I checked my make-up, making sure I was well-covered. I put my sunglasses on. Perfect, I thought. Now all I have to do is have to pass the test to join the gang.Part 24
Angad walked down the aisle looking at the 5 new candidates. He nod his head as he studied them. "Pretty good," he said to them. "Alright," he clapped his hands for attention. "All of you know how it's done. Kartik and Josh will jump each of you in. If you're still standing after 5 minutes, then welcome to SechsKies. Only 2 of the 5 guys lasted when Josh and Kartik were done beating them up.
"Okay," said Prithivi. The two newest members to join is- "Wait!" shouted a voice, interrupting Prithivi. Everyone looked over to see who it was. Angad stared at the young boy who was walking towards them. 'What the hell? Damn! This kid looks like Kripa!" he thought. 'I must be losing it. How come I keep seeing her today??" Prithivi looked at the new boy curiously. "Yes, What do you want little man??" I looked at Prithivi. Gosh he developed an attitude, I thought. I took a deep breath. This is it. "I want to join SechsKies." A guy I recognized as Mannan busted out laughing. He placed his hand on top of my head. "You? How old are you boy? 15? 16? And how tall are you now? 5??"
I moved his hand for him. "No. I'm 18 and I'm not 5'?". That made all the other members laugh, except Angad. I looked at him curiously and realized he was checking me out. 'Oh no,' I thought. Please don't recognize me. Angad held up his hand for the others to stop laughing. "Hey, if he wants a chance, then we'll give it to him." Then he turned to face me. I felt my heart thumping loud and prayed he couldn't hear it. He placed his hand on my shoulder. Dang, he smells good, I thought as I tried to suppress a smile. "Look kid," said Angad to me.
"You have to be jumped in to join. These 2 guys (pointing to Kartik and Josh) will kick the crap out of you for 5 minutes. If you're still standing, you're in." I nodded my head. I knew I had to last because I'm doing it all for Angad. I stood there as Kartik and Josh began to hit me. Josh threw the first punch and it gave me instant pain. He's even stronger than my stepmom, I thought. Kartik kicked me and I was knocked to the ground but I kept pulling myself up. Angad looked at the helpless boy who was struggling to stand up. He doesn't understand why but when he looks at the boy, images of Kripa replaced him. Right now in his eyes, it looked like it was Kripa being beaten up by Kartik and Josh.
He couldn't help it. "Stay down!" he yelled to the boy. Everyone stared at Angad. Both Kartik and Josh stopped hitting the boy because they were surprised Angad was being nice out of nowhere. I heard Angad yelling for me to stay down. My ears listened but my legs wouldn't. I refused to stay down. No matter how many times they hit me or how hard, I managed to get up. Finally 5 minutes was over and I was still standing. "Am I in??" I asked in a weak voice. I saw Angad staring at me with a surprised expression. "Yes, you're in." he said patting my shoulder. I smiled and fainted into his arms. Angad held the boy, surprised.
He realized the boy had fainted. Usually he would have let go if someone fainted on him, but this time he held on tight. The other 5 Kies members looked and the 2 new recruits looked at Angad with queeried eyes. "Uh, Dude," said Prithivi, as he patted Angad on the shoulder. "What??" asked Angad, as he continued holding the boy. "What should we do about the new recruits??" Give them instructions and show them to their rooms. We'll have a meeting tomorrow. said Angad "Okay." answered Prithivi. They all left but once in a while, they all would glance back looking at Angad, who was carrying the boy in the other direction.Part 25
Slowly I began to regain my consciousness and I woke up. I looked around and realized I was in the biggest room in the Sharma Hotel. The Presidential Suite. "What am I doing in here??" I asked myself. Then suddenly the chair in front of me spun around. Angad was sitting in it. I stared at him with wide eyes.
I started to panic because I was all alone with him in the room. Angad gave me a sideways glance. "You okay??" he asked. I nodded my head. Angad got up out of his seat and walked towards me. He sat down on the bed next to me and looked at me straight in the eyes. "So what's your name??" he asked.
"Kri-?I began but instantly cut myself off. 'Stupid," I thought to myself. You almost said your real name! I saw Angad's eyes grow wide. "What did you say your name was??" "Krish," I answered him quickly. "Oh," he said and backed away from me. Angad stood up and walked towards the window, looking outside.
He knew the new recruit was a boy but somewhere inside him wished Krish would say his name was Kripa. He let out a sigh. "There's a meeting tomorrow. Be there okay??" I looked at Angad with his back facing me. It had only been 2 years but I felt as though I couldn't read what was going on in his mind anymore. I let out a sigh myself.
"Angad, where do we meet later tomorrow??" The call of his real name made Angad suddenly look up. He ran over to where Krish was sitting and grabbed him by his shoulders. "How do you know my real Indian name? No one knows me by that. Everyone calls me Karan? "Oh no," I thought. I had completely forgotten that Angad had changed his name to Karan.Part 26
But Kripa thought fast. "I didn't know your name as Angad. All I said was, 'ArggdDD, wanna go out later tomorrow??" I felt Angad's grip on me loosen. He had bought the story. When he wasn't looking, I let out a sigh of relief. 'I'm losing it," thought Angad. "We'll meet in the main dining room tomorrow," Angad told Krish. He nodded his head and left.
Angad walked out to the balcony and looked up at the sky. "I love you Kripa, that's why it hurts so much that you're not here." But the real Kripa had left before she could have heard those words.Part 27
Meanwhile back in the hotel lobby. After Prithivi and the others gave the new recruits instructions and about the meeting, they all went back to their rooms. "You think there's something wrong with BOSS?? asked Kartik. "Yeah," said Josh. "Did you see the way he held the new guy??" They began to shudder. "No, it's nothing," answered Prithivi. "You think maybe Karan is gay?? asked Josh. "You're the one who looks gay," said Kartik, jokingly. "Shut up!" yelled Josh as he punched Kartik lightly. The others began to laugh.
Then Dhruv said, "Could be though. I never saw him 'be' with a girl before." Prithivi lets out a sigh. "Okay, I'll tell you guys the real deal. But don't let this get back to Karan okay??" They all nodded and leaned forward to hear the story. "It was like 5 years ago when Karan met this girl named Kripa Sharma??" "She a babe??" asked Josh, interrupting. Prithivi gave him a look. "Yes, Josh-shhhhhhh, she's a babe." "Oh, okay," said Josh. "Continue."
"Anyways, Karan knew her before he met me. It turns out that she was the first person who ever really cared about him and Karan fell in love with her. But you know how "our BOSS" is. He could never tell anyone exactly what's on his mind or how he feels. Instead of saying he wants Kripa to be his girlfriend, he said he wants her to be his sister."That's stupid!" yelled Josh, interrupting Prithivi. "Why he say that for? She's a babe!" "Sh..!" yelled Kartik, Dhruv, and Mannan at JOSH. Prithivi continued.
"Well, Karan ended up having this blood ceremony with her. They scarred each other's back with their initial. It looks like a blood tie but later on I found out it was his symbol of promised love- "Ow..that must have hurt," said JOSH, as he hugged himself. Kartik smacked him on the head for interrupting again. "I think they knew each other for a year before they met me. At first I thought Kripa was cute, but then by the way Karan acts, I can tell she was off limits.
See, Kripa had this heart condition where air would suddenly be closed off and she couldn't breathe. The only way to get air in was by this respirator----"The one Karan always carries??" asked JOSH. "Yes JOSH-shhhhhhhh," said Prithivi, rolling his eyes. "Anyways, it was either that or mouth to mouth. Once when Karan went collecting shells for Kripa, I was walking along the shores with her. One of her attacks came on. I freaked out of course, but I knew what to do.
I laid her down and I was about to give her CPR but then Karan ran the speed of light and knocked me into the ocean and he gave her CPR." The others started laughing. "Dang, ain't he a Romeo??" said JOSH, laughing. Prithivi smiled. "It's cause he loves Kripa and didn't want any other guy touching her. I mean, during school, if any guy talks about wanting to date her, Karan made sure he didn't. Oh yeah,
Karan hasn't always been Karan. His real name is Angad. The 'K' scar on his back stands for Kripa, not Karan." The others opened their mouths in shock. They never knew BOSS had been in this much in love before. "How romantic," whispered JOSH. "Shut up" said Kartik. "Quit interrupting!" "Okay, okay," said Josh, blocking himself from Kartik's hand. Prithivi began talking. "If there are no more interruptions, then I'll continue."
He paused for a second and then continued. "The day before Karan and I made it to Japan, he and Kripa were supposed to get married. Karan didn't like his dad and there was this feud in their family on who gets the grandpa's inheritance. Karan got it, of course, and he took it all and left Bombay. He took me and he was planning on taking Kripa too. When he went to her house though, his uncle's men were guarding the place and he couldn't take her. He ended up leaving Bombay without saying goodbye to Kripa."
All of them remained silent. Then Mannan spoke. "Last year BOSS sent me & Josh out to get some news on Karan. She had died drowning." Prithivi nodded. "Yeah but Karan and I think she committed suicide. He think it's because Kripa can't handle living with her stepmom, who always abuse her. If you ask me, I think Kripa committed suicide because Karan left her without any reason. I think BOSS thinks that too but he won't say it. I think he blames himself for her death and since then he hasn't been the same.
He used to be nicer and not this touchy. Also that's why he's never been with another girl. I mean, we see him flirt with other girls but none of us actually see him 'be' with another girl right?" The others nodded in agreement. Prithivi continued. "About this new boy today. I think Karan is losing it. He probably thinks when he sees the boy he is seeing Kri-Prithivi stopped talking as he looked up. He finished his sentence with a "See you later!" and he ran off. The others looked up surprised.Part 28
The others looked up surprised. Kartik smacked Josh on his head. "What??" asked Josh. "I didn't interrupt!" "It's not Josh-shhh's fault," said Mannan. "Look." Mannan pointed to where Prithivi ran off too. "WHOAAA," said Dhruv. "It's that same waitress babe." "See??" said Josh.
"It's cause of a girl, not me. You hit me by mistake." "No, it's not a mistake. I still wanna smack your head cause it makes this cool hollow sound," replied Karkik as he smacked JOsh on his head again. "So, wanna go out sometime??" Prithivi asked Harshni, leaning near her. She rolled her eyes at him. She answered flatly, "No" and began to leave. Prithivi held onto her arm. "Come on babe. X-mas is next month and don't be a scrooge."
Then suddenly, Harshni gave him a seductive smile. "I guess. How about we go out on November 31 then??" Prithivi gave her a sexy smile back. "It's a date then," he answered, letting her go. The other 4 walked up to him. "How'd it go Mickey??asked Dhruv. "Hey, hey, what can I say??" answered Prithivi *bleep*ily. "I'm the man!?" Kartik gave him a high-five. "Alright!" yelled Josh. "When you 2 going out??" "November 31," answered Prithivi. "Uh, Mickey," said Mannan. "Sup Mannan??" said Prithivi.
"November doesn't have a 31st." "What??" asked Prithivi surprised. He looked at the calendar. November ended on the 30th. He looked around but Harshni had already left. He started cursing while the others tried to hold back their laughter. "This meeting of SechsKies is now in session, announced Angad to the main members of the group, along with the new recruits.
His voice got their attention and they quickly focused their attention on Angad. Angad looked to see if Krish was there. He was. ANGAD gave a little smile to him. He didn't know why but when he looks at Krish his mind would replace Krish's face with Kripa's. "So any new business??" he asked the members. "Yes," answered Kartik. "The Black Dragons have killed some of our members and took away some of our businesses." "Damn it!" yelled Angad as he pounded his fist on the table.
"We'll just have to see that this Black Dragon matter will be solved. Micky (remember i changed prithivi's name too) Dhruv, Mannan, and the 2 new recruits deal with the businesses. Kartik, Josh, and Krish will come with me. Everyone looked at Angad strangely. Prithivi began to speak. "Uh, BOSS. You want to take Krish along??" Angad glared at him. "Yeah. Anyone here have any objections??" No one answered. "Meeting adjourned," announced Angad and everyone went to work.
Part 29
I followed the Black Kies to a dark alley. I was surprised Angad wanted to take me along, considering I was one of the weakest members. I thought I would get to work with the White Kies in businesses. "Hey kid," said Josh to me. "What is it??" I said. He handed me a gun. "Use this to protect yourself."
My eyes widened as I held the cold metal. Please don't let me use it, I prayed silently. Angad walked over to Krish. "Okay, the coleaders of Black Dragons are meeting around here. You'll recognize them by the dragon tattoos on their arms. If you see them, just shoot them as they come out." "But BOSS Karan, I--" but my words were cut off the sound of gunshots. POW "Get down!" yelled Angad as he covered me.
Then he started firing. I covered my ears and watched ANGAD in disbelief. He had shot 4 people and killed 3. Angad stood up smiling. I couldn't believe it. I was in love with a cold-blooded killer.****.***** Kartik and Josh killed some other members and Angad told them to kill every single Black Dragon member. One Black Dragon member laid hurt on the ground.
Angad pulled him up by the collar of his shirt and pointed a gun to his head. "Tell me who's your leader punk or else I'll blow your brains out." The young boy was whimpering. I felt sorry for him. "Please don't kill me. My leader is Ms.Anita Khanna" "Who the hell is that??" asked Angad angrily. "What the hell does he have against me??"
"She's the god-daughter of Mr. Khanna, who's one of the heirs of the Khanna Hotel Empire and he came to get the inheritance back from you." I listened to what the boy was saying. I never knew that Angad's uncle had a god-daugher. From what I had heard, Angad's uncle had passed away 2 months ago and he had a heir. The heir is the leader of Black Dragon, I figured out. "That bas***d," said Angad. "He's dead and he still has someone after me.
When Angad wasn't looking, the Black Dragon boy had pulled out a knife, ready to stab Angad. I didn't have time to think so I reacted instantly. I shot the boy. He fell back in pain but managed to get up and run away. Angad looked at me surprised. He gave me a smile. "Good job, Krish," he said walking over to me and patted me on the back.
I was appalled at what I had done. I couldn't answer him so I just handed him back the gun. Just then Kartik and Josh came back to us. "Got them all Boss," said Kartik smiling as he did fancy handwork with his gun. "Good," said Angad. "Krish, here just saved my life. I knew it was a good idea to bring him along." "Really??" asked JOSH.
"Nice work kid." Then he punched me lightly on the shoulder. When we made it back to the hotel, I ran into my room using my respirator and swallowed a pill. Afterwards, I took a shower. I felt so dirty because what I had done. I knew this was going to be only one of the many dirty work I would have to do to stay with Angad.Part 30
A few months later........
During this time, since I saved Angad's life, he began to trust me more and confided in me with everything. I was like his new best friend. SechsKies continued traveling to many places and recruited new members. More war between SechsKies and Black Dragons broke out. Many businesses were shut down and more members were killed from both sides.
All the blood shed and fighting was getting to me but I held on. All the members of SechsKies accepted me but sometimes I overhear them whisper that "I'm gay". I didn't care as long as I had Angad. Finally, after many days of hard work, SechsKies finally got a day of rest. The leaders always hang out together but Angad always included me. We were at this fancy restaurant and were all having a good time.
Josh was telling us funny jokes. He stopped in the middle of a joke as he saw the Black Dragon leaders enter the restaurant. Tension was felt by everyone. The Black Dragons sat down across from us. Angad and MZ.Anita were giving each other glares. Underneath the tables, we pulled out our guns. I knew the Black Dragons were doing the same. We didn't know which side fired the first shot but before we knew it, bullets were flying everywhere.
Angad covered me as we ran out of the restaurant safely. We met up with the other 5 Kies in a dark alley. The Black Dragons were still chasing us. "Damn it Boss! What should we do??" asked Kartik. "Kill them all!" shouted Angad. "There are too many," Mannan shouted back. "Let's just hide out in this motel." We all ran and hid in this cheap motel's restaurant.
The Black Dragons lost us and continued searching. "I don't believe this!" said Angad furiously. "I, Karan Khanna, of SechsKies have to hide down here in this *bleep* roach motel like I'm a dog or something!" "Calm down," I said to him gently, patting his back. "It's not so bad." "Yeah Boss," said Prithivi. "It's only for one night. Besides, we'll make them pay for this." All of us looked around.
There was only one bed. I could tell none of us wanted the floor because it was disgusting and reeked of something. "I ain't taking the floor!" all of us shouted in unison. "There's only one bed though," said Dhruv. "Look on the bright side," said Josh as he laid out the sheets on the bed. "At least it's king size." I nodded my head. "It'll be tight but we'll all have to try and fit in.
Soon it was Kartik, Josh, Angad, me, Prithivi, Mannan, and Dhruv laying down side by side uncomfortably on the bed. We were laying down one by one and the others looked at me strangely as I ran to be the next person who laid near Angad. Soon everyone fell asleep except me. I made sure everyone was asleep before I made my move. I bent over to kiss Angad lightly on the lips.
Then I laid my head down on his chest to hear his heart beat. I sighed contentedly. Then suddenly I felt Angad's leg twitch. Oh no. I knew what he was about to do. His 360. I placed my entire body on top of his because I didn't want to get kicked. As Angad did his 360, he kicked everyone except me off the bed. As always when Angad was done, he had a huge smile on his face. Then he held onto me tightly.
I was overwhelmed with happiness. The others must have been exhausted because none of them woke up except Josh. He opened his eyes sleepily and said, "Huh??" "You're dreaming," I whispered to him. He nodded his head and went back to sleep. Soon I drifted off to sleep too.
Part 31
Angad Won began to stir. He woke up finding Krish holding onto him tightly. Angad widened his eyes and gently unraveled Krish's arms and legs off of him. The guys already called Krish gay and he didn't want them to think he's gay too.
He sat up and saw 5 of the SechsKies leaders laying on the floor. Then Prithivi began to wake up. He sat up and looked around. "Gross! How the hell did I end up down here??" Angad shrugged his shoulders.
Then Josh woke up. "Damn, my butt hurts. It feels like someone kicked it last night." Then one by one everyone woke up. "P.U.!," yelled Kartik. "This floor stinks!" Everyone started laughing. "Sorry you guys," said Angad laughing. "I must have done a 360 and kicked you all off." "How come you didn't fall off Krish??" asked Mannan. Uh, oh, I thought.Part 32
"I did," I answered him. "But I got back up and went to sleep on the bed again." "Really??" asked Dhruv. "I didn't even know. I just went right on sleeping." Angad began to study Krish. It was weird but somehow Angad had a feeling that Krish knew he does a 360 in his sleep. 'But that's impossible," he thought to himself."Only Kripa knows that and why didn't Krish say anything about me kicking him??" Angad didn't know what was going on with Krish but he knew he had to find out. We all got up and ready to leave the room. The coast seemed clear so we walked out unarmed. Big mistake. There was a n ambush waiting for us. "Disperse!" yelled Angad and we all ran our separate ways. Black Dragons chased after each one of us. I lost the Black Dragon member that was chasing me but I didn't want to go back the hotel room without Angad so I turned back to get him.
When I found Angad, he was backed up against the wall by a Black Dragon. It was the leader, Ms.Anita. She was telling Angad to bow down and beg for mercy but Angad ended up spitting in his face. Anita got angry and pulled the knife back to stab Angad in his throat. I ran as fast as I could and knocked Anita down.
She dropped the knife and fell to the floor with me. As she fell, she used the handled of the knife to knock Angad unconscious. Anita got up glaring at me. "Do you know who you're messing with??" she asked me angrily. I glared at her back unflinching. "I'll make you pay for hurting Angad?" "Oh you must be the gay SechsKies member I've heard so much about you! DARLING," said Anita laughing.
"You're afraid your *bleep* leader would die leaving you alone??" That made me really angry. I didn't care that she called me gay but calling Angad a *bleep* ticked me off. Since she was distracted, I grabbed the hand she was holding the sword with, and made her stab himself. She cried out in shock and pain. She pulled knife out of him. Anita pushed me away and cuts me in the knee with her knife.
I fell down and saw her raise the knife above my head. I was going to die. Then suddenly a voice screamed out, "Gang Rape!" It made Anita run off. I looked over to see who it was.
Part 33
It was Harshni screaming for the cops. I saw her looking at me sighing and walked away. "Harshni!" I screamed for her. Harshni looked at me strangely as she approached me. "Do I know you??" I nodded my head and motioned for her to come near me.When she did, I whispered in her ear, "It's me, Kripa." "Kripa? But you're a guy!" she yelled back at me. "Look at me closely." When she did, her eyes widened as she grabbed a hold of me. "Kripa, it is you!" I turned her back to face me. "Please help me bring Angad back to the hotel." Harshni made a face of disgust.
"What are you doing with the SechsKies leader and why are you dressed like a guy??" "I'll explain later," I told her. We both put Angad's arms around us as we carried him back. Along the way we found Prithivi unconscious on the ground, bleeding. I set Angad down gently and lifted Prithivi up. "Prithivi!" I said, shaking him.
He was hurt badly. "Harshni, please do me a favor. You carry Prithivi while I carry Angad." Harshni looked at me reluctantly but then nodded. I lifted Angad onto my back and carried him back to the Sharma Hotel. My leg was still bleeding from the cut and I was limping. "Kripa, can you carry him??" Harshni asked me, concerned. "I'll be fine," I answered her as we made it back.
Part 34
I took Angad back to his room while Harshni took Prithivi back to his. I washed Angad's cuts and nursed his wounds. When he was bandaged, I sat down on the chair next to his bed. Then suddenly, I couldn't breathe. One of my attacks is coming on and I didn't have my respirator with me. My heart was aching so painfully that I was gasping in pain. But then I remembered Angad had a respirator. I searched his pockets and sure enough, there it was. I started pumping it quickly and air entered my lungs. My vision cleared and I began to breathe easier. Then I put it back into his pocket. My touch made Angad stir. He began to wake up. He looked at me. "Krish??" he asked weakly. I nodded my head. "Yes, it's me BOSS." Angad lifted himself up. "Where am I??" "We're back at our hotel" "Oh," Angad said as he looked at my leg. "What happened to your knee??" I looked down at it.
It was bleeding through my pants. "It's nothing Boss. I'll be okay in a few days." "Did Anita do this to you??" I nodded my head. Angad pounded his fist on his desk. "Damn him! I'll get him back." "It's okay BOSS," I said calming him down. "By the way," he asked me suddenly, "how did you end up finding me?" You weren't supposed to come back here by yourself??" His question hit me by surprise.
I answered him truthfully. "I came back to look for you because I was worried you might be in danger." I saw Angad look at me awkwardly and inched himself away from me. He thinks I'm gay, I thought. "Uh, thanks for coming back to save me then," Angad said to Krish awkwardly. Krish nodded and left his room. Angad lets out a sigh.
He loved Krish as a friend and definitely nothing more. He didn't want Krish to have any thoughts. Instinctively Angad reached into his pocket to check to see if his respirator was still there. It was but it was different. Angad stared at it with wide eyes. His once filled respirator was now only half full with air. Someone had been using it!!!!!!!!!
Part 35
Later that evening Angad posted a note on my door telling me to meet him. It was 8 p.m. and I knocked the door to his room. "Come in," said Angad. I entered his room, not knowing what he was going to say. "Follow me," he ordered. He left the room and I followed him. He took me to the beach that was near our hotel.
Then he walked over to a spot where there were two rocks side by side. I caught my breath. This looks exactly like our spot in Bombay, I thought. "Come here and sit next to me, Krish" said Angad to me, patting the rock next to him. I sat down near him and closed my eyes as I breathed in the salty sea air.
Angad began to study Krish. 'He looks like Kripa in a way," he thought. 'Could he be Kripa in another form??" Angad didn't believe in reincarnation but Krish was too much like Kripa for him. He wanted to see if somehow Krish was Kripa so he had to test him. "Krish, you want to hear a story?? "Sure," said Krish eagerly. Angad smiled as he told his story.
"There once was this rich boy who came from a messed up family. He had no friends at all. Then one day he met this little girl who became his friend. She was really nice to him, unlike his family, so he began to adopt her as his little sister. Angad paused right there to see Krish's reaction. My smile faded when Angad began his story. He was talking about our life in Bombay. Then I figured out he was testing me. The respirator, I thought. I must have drained it when I was using it so now he suspects me.
I steadied myself and tried my best to give no reaction. Angad stared at Krish, who appeared to have no reaction to the story. "Well what do you think??" Angad asked him. "That's a cute story, BOSS," he said, shrugging his shoulders. Angad continued. "Do you know why he took extra care of his little sister??" Krish shook his head no. "It's because she has this heart problem and needed this respirator to breathe."
He took out the respirator from his pocket and showed it to Krish. Again no reaction. "Poor girl," said Krish. "Yes, poor girl," said Angad sadly. "She died a few years later..." I looked at Angad sadly. I knew Angad felt bad because of my death but since I'm no one special to him, it wouldn't matter if he knew the truth that Kripa was still alive and with him right now. Then Angad took out a stone and handed me one.
I rubbed the white marble stone for a while. "Throw it," he told me. I shook my head no. To me it was like a present so I didn't throw it but just kept it in my pocket. Angad threw his into the ocean. It skipped 3 times. "Perfect," he said. "Why is it perfect??" I asked him. This time I wished he would tell me the significance of the 3-skip. "When the stone skips 3 times, it means 3 words. 'I LOVE YOU'" I looked at Angad in an overwhelming joy. Did Angad love me? He had thrown the rock and it skipped 3 times many times before.
"So did the rich boy ever really loved his little sister??" I asked Angad. Angad looked at me. "Of course he does. He has a lot of brotherly love for her." "Oh," I whispered softly. My heart began to ache. As Angad continued staring at the ocean, I began to walk home with a heavy heart........
Angad began to shake his head. "Kripa's dead already so why am I denying that I love her??" he thought to himself as he stared out to the ocean. "Actually, Krish, the rich boy loved Kripa as a girlfriend, lover, friend, and as a life partner, the first day he met her but he's such a weak person. He never could admit his feelings for her and just waited for her to say that she loves him first." Angad turned around and saw that Krish had left. 'Oh well," he thought as he headed back to the hotel.Part 36
******For some Prithivi and Harshni fans, this chapter is a little side story.******* (If there are any)
Prithivi woke up aching. He realized he was back at the Sharma Hotel and in his room. "How did I make it back here??" he asked himself. Then he realized he was wearing nothing but his boxers. His bathroom door suddenly opened and out came Harshni. "Hey!" he shouted as he pulled a blanket over to cover himself. Harshni rolled her eyes. "It's too late for that. I've seen it all already," she told him as she yanked the blanket away.
Prithivi crossed his arms over his chest. "So you took advantage of me in my weak state??" "So what if I did??" she snapped at him. "That means you have to marry me and support me while I give birth to your child." Harshni could't help but laugh. Prithivi smiled at her. 'I guess he isn't so bad," she thought. "You know, said Prithivi quietly. "You didn't have to diss me like that when you said you'll go out with me."
Harshni looked at him. "I had to! You were such an arrogant jerk and you wouldn't leave me alone." "Maybe it's because I like you too much to leave you alone," he replied back. Harshni blushed a little and decided to change the subject. "Give me your arm," she said to him. Prithivi's right arm was bleeding and Harshni began to wash the cut.
"Ow!" he yelled in pain, pulling his arm back. "That hurts." "Does it??" Harshni asked him, concerned. "I'm sorry." She leaned over to blow on his cut. Prithivi stared at her the entire time. He felt warm and shy being around her. He never felt this way for a girl before. She was nice to him and not dissing him like she usually does.
He really liked that feeling. Harshni gently placed his arm into a cast. "There," she said. "All better." "You know," said Prithivi softly. "Everyone says kisses make boo-boos feel better and go away." When Harshni was nursing Prithivi, she developed a liking for him and his nice body was a good addition. "Really??" she asked skeptically. "I don't believe you."
"Why don't you test it out then??" he challenged her smiling. "Maybe I will," she said, flirting back. "Where does it hurt??" Prithivi pointed to his knee. Harshni kissed it. Then he pointed to his hand. She kissed it too. Slowly he pointed to his forehead, which she also kissed. He worked his way down to his nose. Harshni couldn't help but laugh as she kissed his nose lightly. Prithivi's nose was broken.
Then he pointed to his lips. Harshni was about to kiss it lightly but then Prithivi held onto her tightly to deepen the kiss. Harshni felt drawn to him so she didn't push him away. He turned her over so she laid down on his bed, with him on top of her. His hand went under the back of her shirt and he stopped there. Harshni continued kissing him and ran her fingers through his hair. Since she wasn't stopping him, he was about to continue when **knock knock**
"I'm going to kill that person," thought Prithivi as he broke off the kiss. "Yeah? What is it??" he yelled. "Karan wants all of us to go down to the dining room for a meeting, said Mannan. "Okay, I'll be there in 5 minutes!" Prithivi yelled back. When he heard footsteps of Mannan leaving, he kissed Harshni once more. "Sorry honey, I have to go but I'll be right back." Harshni nodded and helped him into his clothes.Part 37
"Order SechsKies!" yelled Angad. "Ooh, ooh," said Josh. "I want some action BABY!" Angad glared at him. Josh shuts up. "Now I want to talk to all of you about Krish. He's only been here for a few months but he had saved my life twice and not to mention, Prithivi's. Prithivi slapped Krish on the back and smiled. "Now," continued Angad. "What do you want Krish?? A car, money, women? Tell us and it's yours." "Yeah," said Prithivi. "Just name it buddy and it's yours."
I thought about it for a while. The only thing I wanted was Angad but I couldn't say that. Since he was suspecting me so much there was only one thing I should ask for. "I want a woman," I told them. They all opened their mouths in shock. "Alright Krish, you dog!" yelled Prithivi, breaking the silence. "At least you're proving to us that you're a man now!" "Okay," said Angad slowly. "Who's the girl??"
"Ms.Harshni," I announced. I saw Harshni's smiling face turn mad. "Who do you want??" Prithivi asked me in disbelief. I repeated myself. "Ms. Harshni" Prithivi grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. "Out of all the girls you could have picked, why her??" he yelled at me. I knew Prithivi liked Harshni but Harshni was the only person that could help me. "I happen to like her too," I answered him. "Besides, you all said I can have anything I want, and I want Harshni" "He's right," said Angad softly.
"We can't go back on our words." Angad clapped his hands for attention. "So, Harshni now belongs to Krish. Anyone from SechsKies who touches her, the penalty is death. Dhruv and Mannan had to hold Prithivi back from attacking me. "I thought you were my friend!" he yelled as they took him away. I sighed and headed for my room. Angad looked at Krish as he was walking away.
"Krish." "Yes Boss?? "Are you sure that's what you want??" "Yes Boss, I'm sure" I've never been more sure in my life. Then Krish left. When I made it back into my room, Harshni was in there waiting for me. "What the hell is going on??" she asked me. I knew it was time to tell her my story.
When I finished, she was bawling like a baby. I handed her a tissue. "Th..that is s..so..romantic, Harshni said, sobbing. I patted her head as she leaned on me. "No, it's not." "So you're not going to tell Angad who you really are?? I shook my head. "It wouldn't matter anyways." "How do you know? If he knows you're still alive, who knows? He might fall in love with you."
"Maybe," I began slowly. "But then he'd love me out of pity and not out of love. I don't want that." "Oh." Harshni stared at the floor. "I wonder if Mickey really likes me." "What??" I asked in surprise. She looked at me sheepishly. "Oh, I forgot to tell you that Mickey and I are beginning to fall for each other." "Why didn't you tell me??" "I didn't have a chance to. Besides, it just happened." "I'm sorry Harshni." "It's okay," she said as she hugged me.
"We'll just have to put our little romance on hold for a while. You're more important." "No, I'll go tell----" My words were cut off by my lack of air. This time my attack was worser than it ever had been before. Harshni stared at me frightened. "Kripa! What's happening??"
"C..can't breathe" I managed to say. She lifted me up. "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital." "Don't let the others see me," I said to her before I collapsed into total darkness.Part 38
Slowly I began to open my eyes. I closed them instantly because the light reflecting me was so bright. Am I on the other side! I wondered. I managed to squint my eyes open. I found myself strapped to a pulse racer machine and an IV fluid was hooked up to me. I started to look around my room. I was in a hospital and I saw that my door was open slightly ajar. Then I heard 2 voices talking and I began to eavesdrop. "It's a miracle that she's still alive," said the doctor. "Is she going to be okay??" Harshni asked him. "Well, according to these test results, her heart will expire any time now.We need to get her a heart transplant soon because she's past overdue for 2 years already." I made some calls and there is a matching donor for her in England. "I'll have to talk to her about it." "Please do," said the doctor. "It's her only hope of living." Harshni slowly entered my room. She stared at me with wide eyes. "You heard everything Kripa??" I nodded my head weakly and took the air respirator off my mouth. "You can tell him to forget about it. I'm not going to England for a couple of months to get surgery." Harshni ran over and shook me. "Kripa, are you crazy? You have to or you'll die."
"No," I told her stubbornly. "It was so hard for me to find Angad and I won't let go of him just like that. Harshni began to cry. "I don't want you to die though." I looked at her sadly. "You're a good friend Harshni. I know you'll be the perfect girl for Prithivi. I yanked the IV tube off my arm. "Come on. Let's go home.
A little over month later........
My heart condition began to grow worse. My attacks became more frequently and undetected. It would happen during odd times like when I'm showering or having dinner with the SechsKies guys. Luckily Harshni was always there by my side to cover for me. Prithivi hated me. I can tell by the way he acts. He probably thinks that Harshni really likes Krish (MEEEEEEEEE). What he doesn't know is Harshni truly does love him and it breaks her heart seeing him go out with other girls.I think he's doing that to make her jealous. As for Angad, he began to grow distant towards me. He wouldn't talk to me much and he's been depressed about something lately. I wish I could know what was bothering him because it hurts me to see him sad like that. Secrets are definitely hard to keep. Especially ones that you have to cover everyday. I should have known that my disguise and heart attacks would be exposed soon but it just came to me unexpectedly.
Part 39
Angad was in his depressed state again. There was this empty void inside him that he couldn't erase. It was a recurring pain that never seemed to end. He felt lonely. Whenever he sees Krish and Harshni together, it disturbs him. He could't figure out what it was but he kept finding something wrong with the picture.
Then a knock came on his door. "Come in," he said, without bothering to see who it was. I entered Angad's room holding a tray of food. Now these days since he was in his isolated stage, he didn't eat much anymore. I was beginning to worry. I didn't have much time left with him so I wanted to take care of him the best I could with the time I still had left. "BOSS, Aren't you hungry? I brought you some food." Angad turned around to see who it was. It was Krish. "Just put it down."
Krish placed it down before Angad. Kheer (rice pudding), gajar ka ha-lu-wah, rice, and curry. 'How does he know I like these food??" Angad thought. "Take it away I don't want it." "But Boss, you haven't ate for days. Please eat a little bit." "I said take it away!" Angad yelled, his anger exploding. He knocked over the tray of food. It ended up spilling all over Krish. Angad and Krish stared at each other. Neither of them knew what to say. Krish leaned over to clean up the spilled food and then left.
Angad fell back in his chair. He ran his hands through his hair frustrated. Krish was too much like Kripa that it was driving him crazy. Angad knew he was out of line though, so he began to walk to Kripa's room to apologize. What a mess, I thought as I stripped out of my clothes. I soaked myself into a hot water bath, hoping it could wash away all my troubles. When I was done with my bath, I wrapped myself up in a towel and got out of the tub.
Then I heard my room door open and then close. Must be Harshini, I thought as I began to put my clothes on. Angad entered Kripa's room, not knowing what to say. He wasn't good at apologizing. He looked around and didn't see Krish anywhere. Then he heard the sound of water draining. He figured Krish must be in the bathroom. Angad opened the door slightly and saw Krish's bare back. He shuts the door quietly and began to leave.
He planned to apologize later but then his mind began to sort out what he had just saw. Krish's back had an 'A" on it. Angad breaks the open the door to the bathroom. I was buttoning up my long sleeve shirt when my door suddenly opened. I stared at Angad in shock but then remembered I wasn't completely dressed yet. I buttoned up the remaining buttons and then faced him. "BOSS!" I said surprised. "What are you doing here??" I caught Angad looking down at my shirt.
Part 40
I had buttoned it all wrong and a great deal of my body was showing. Oh hell, I thought. "BOSS, I can explain---" I began to tell him but I never had a chance to. Angad stared at Krish's exposed body. Without thinking, he ripped open Krish's shirt finding that Krish was indeed a woman. Krish stood still, stunned at what Angad had just did. He turned Krish's back to him. There it was. His 'A." "K...Kripa??" he asked uncertainly, afraid to hope.
I didn't know what I was more embarrassed from. Letting Angad see me exposed or being caught. In all my life I had never been angry at Angad but I didn't know why I reacted impulsively. As I held my shirt together, I slapped Angad across the face hard with my other hand. His head snapped to the side. He held his cheeks as he turned to face me. "How could you do this to me Angad??" I asked him screaming.
"Get out! Get out!" I started to push him out the door. Angad was in shock. Kripa, he thought. He grabbed her arms as she pushed him out. "Kripa, don't! Is it really you??" I glared at him. As if he knew, Angad took off his jacket and puts it around my shoulders. I zipped it up, covering myself. "Yes Angad, it is me Kripa." "But I thought you were dead." "I didn't die. I faked my death." "Why??" "So I could go to Japan, to find you."
"You came all the way from Bombay to find me? Why didn't you just tell me who you are??" Angad looked at Kripa, who had tears coming out of her eyes. He was about to brush them off for her but then Kripa pushed his hand away. "That's the only way I could do to be with you. Join SechsKies. Angad stared at Kripa as she continued talking. "After you left me all alone in Bombay, my life became so miserable. Not because of my stepmom, but because of you.
I finally found a way to leave Bombay to find you. I was so happy when I thought about how I could see you again. I thought---" Angad began to feel a rush of mixed emotions. Kripa's words made him sad but seeing her alive in front of him, made him want to hold onto her and never let her go. He paused to let her continue. "-I thought that we could be together like we were?in Bombay. But obviously, I was wrong. You had all those girls around you that you've completely forgotten about me." Angad felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. Each one of Kripa's words stabbed him like a knife.
"Kripa, you don't understand. I---Kripa didn't wait for his explanation and ran. Angad chased after her. "Kripa!" he yelled as he chased her out of the hotel. "Boss," said Mannan as he saw Angad ran by him. Angad pushed him out of the way. Harshni ran up the 5 Kies. "What happened??" Mannan shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. Angad was chasing Krish and kept screaming Kripa." Harshni stumbled back and Prithivi caught her. 'Oh no, poor Kripa," she thought. She turned around to see Prithivi looking at her sadly. Harshni moved close to him and held onto him tight. Neither one of them lets go
Part 41
It was 3 a.m. and Angad had lost Kripa. As he chased her down the streets he lost track of where she ran off to. "Kripa!" he continued shouting. His cries echoed throughout the streets. A lot of people heard him yelling. So did the Black Dragons. Anita silently crept behind Angad. Angad was all alone. Anita gave an evil smile.She had a plan. She and her sidekick began to set up a trap for Angad, which they knew he would fall for. "Kripa!" I covered my ears. I didn't want to hear Angad's voice. I was so confused. All I ever wanted was to be with Angad but now it's all complicated. I leaned back against the alley wall. I needed time to think. Angad ran through the alleys as he continued searching for Kripa.
Then he ran into Anita. Out of the darkness, Anita stepped out. "Looking for someone??" she asked. "Yeah," said Angad, glaring at him. "I'm looking for Krish." "The punk that stabbed me??" Anita asked furiously. "Yeah." "I got him." "You do??" Angad asked surprised. "Hand him over!" "There he is," said Anita, pointing to a figure up ahead. From the back it did look like Krish but little did Angad know that it was all a setup. "Kripa??" Angad whispered as he approached the person.
It was a Black Dragon member. He grabbed a hold of Angad around the neck and began shooting Angad continually in the stomach. I looked out from where I was hiding when I heard gunshots. "ANGADDDDDDDD!" I screamed as I ran out from where I hid. My scream threw the Black Dragon member off guard. Seeing his chance, Angad grabbed the gun from him and shot him in the head. He fell to the floor dead. Anitaaaa started to run away but Angad aimed a shot directly at her heart.
Anita fell down dead too. Angad looked at me and then collapsed to the cold ground. He wasn't able to hold on any longer. Rain began to pour. "Angaddddddd!" I screamed, shaking him. He was still breathing but barely. I lifted Angad up on my back and carried him to a nearby hospital. The rain drenched us and it grew hard for me to carry him because of the weight. However, I managed to make it. They rushed him into the emergency room.
Part 42
Four hours later the doctor came out. "How is he??" I asked as I ran up to him. "He was shot 4 times in the stomach region. As you know, a person needs at least one kidney to survive but both of his are destroyed. Unless we can find a donor, he'll have to die." "Give him mine," I told the doctor right away. "Are you sure??" I nodded my head. "Because of your heart condition, if we have this operation that means you can die instantly during the transfer." I nodded my head again. "I understand. Please let's have the operation now."They tested me and luckily I was compatible with Angad. Six hours later the surgery was completed. It's a miracle that I'm still alive. I knew not for long though. I woke up finding myself in a hospital bed with Angad on a bed next to me. He was still in a coma. I got out of bed and went near him. I stroked his hair gently as I bent down to kiss him. "I love you Angad," I whispered to him. Then I left the room, going to the last place I wanted to be.
Part 43
Angad began to wake up. He looked around and realized he was in a hospital room. Slowly his door began to open and the rest of SechsKies entered his room. "BOSS??" asked Prithivi. "Are you okay??" Angad nodded his head weakly as he pulled himself up. "I'm okay now." Kartik walked over to his bedside. "We're so sorry BOSS. We didn't know what happened until this morning.We got revenge for you though when we wiped out the entire Black Dragon hideout." "It's okay," he told them softly as they all bowed down. Then a knock came to his door. The doctor came in. "Oh good, you're awake," he said. Angad looked at him. "Thanks for saving me Doc." "No need to thank me. Your girlfriend is the one who saved your life."
Angad began to panic. "What did she do????" "She could have gotten a chance to go to England to get a heart transplant but she decided to stay to give you her kidney instead." "The girl…where is she??" he asked frantically. The doctor looked around the room.
"She was supposed to be in here-" Angad got out of bed and ran out of the room, leaving everyone staring after him. "BOSS!" all the 5 Kies shouted but Angad had already left. He ran searching for Kripa. He knew where she went........-.-........
Part 44
I felt weaker and my pen fell from my fingers. I stopped my story right there. Truth is, I didn't know how to end it so I might as well leave it unfinished. I took off my cap and clothes. I was wearing a long white flowing dress underneath. It was the kind I always wanted to wear when I thought I was going to marry Angad.My hair had grew out a little bit. It grazed my chin. I started to put on some light make up and combed my hair. I don't know why I'm getting dressed up for but I knew I wanted to die looking like Kripa Sharma, and not Krish. I looked at my reflection again. At least I look like a girl now, I thought with a little laugh. When I was done, I leaned against the hard rock and wrapped my arms around it, pretending it was Angad. Then I heard a voice yelling out my name.
"Kripa!" I recognized the voice. Angad. I smiled, knowing at least he'll be the last person I'll see before I go. Angad looked around the beach and saw a figure in a white dress. 'Kripa," he thought as he ran towards her. It was Kripa. He lifted her into his arms and onto his lap as he sat down on the rocks. 'Kripaa," he whispered to her and kissed her on the neck and face.
Tears began to fall down his face. All of my energy seemed to have been drained as I forced myself to open my eyes. My face felt wet but it wasn't from my tears and it wasn't raining either. My vision was kind of blurred and I couldn't see Angad too well. I reached up to touch his face. It was wet. "Angad," I whispered to him. "Please don't cry. You're scaring me. I've never seen you cry before." Angad looked down at Kripa, through his tear-filled eyes. "I'm so sorry Kripa." "Don't say you're sorry," she whispered back to him. "You've done nothing wrong." Angad shook his head. "I'm so sorry. You've done so much for me and I haven't even realized it." "I haven't done anything for you except put you through a lot of pain." I reached up wipe away Angad's tears. "I didn't expect anything back from you Angad."
But I want to know why did you leave me in Bombay? I could have called the wedding off if you didn't want to marry me." I felt Angad's grip on me tighten. "I didn't mean to leave you Kripa," answered Angad, his voice shaking. "I couldn't take my dad anymore. My grandpa had given me his inheritanceand I planned on taking you and Prithivi with me. I didn't tell you about it because I was afraid you wouldn't leave your family for me. When I came to your house to get you, my uncle's men were there waiting for me and chased me to the docks.
I escaped but I wanted to go back but couldn't. I could have put your life in danger. This isn't the first time I've cried Kripa. I cried when I knew I was going to be separated from you." Despite the pain, I managed to smile. Angad didn't want to leave me, I thought. "Look Angaddddd, I'm wearing the dress I always wanted to wear if we had gotten married." Angad looked at me. "You're beautiful Kripa," he said to me. "If everything would have gone as planned, we could have been married here in Japan."
One thing was still bothering me. I think I managed to hold onto my life this long because of this question. "Angaddd, do you love me? I mean romantically, and not as your sister." Angad looked down at Kripa. She was beautiful. His heart ached when he saw how pale she was. He realized she never did knew that he had loved her all along. "Yes, Kripa," he told her. "I loved you since the first day we met. I loved you then and I had never stopped loving you." He bent down to kiss her. My heart was deepened to a warm bliss. Angad said he loved me, I told myself as I felt him kiss me.
Then a cold realization washed over me but I didn't really care. I always thought that I was hurt when I didn't receive Angad's love. Instead, I found out my pain came from when I didn't give Angad enough love. I haven't told Angad I loved him yet. "Angad," I said to him as he looked down at me. "Thank you for making my dream come true by saying that you love me. I know you're lying and just saying it to repay me but you didn't have to. I did it all because I-I-" I was losing my voice.
Not now, please, I prayed as tears fell down my face. I need to tell him before I go. I reached into my pocketand pulled out the white marble stone Angad had given to me when I was Krish. I pointed towards the ocean to make ANGAD look. I threw the stone with all my remaining strength. It skipped 3 times. 'Perfect," I thought as I closed my eyes for the last time. As Angad listened to what Kripa was saying, he was stunned still. He couldn't believe his ears.
She thought he was saying he loved her as payment of what she had done for him. More tears fell down his face as he shook his head. Then when Kripa pointed out to the ocean, Angad saw her throw the stone he had given her. It skipped 3 times. I love you. Angad smiled, knowing that Kripa loved him too. He had known that she had loved him all along but she never told it to him either. "Kripa, you don't understand. I do love you!" he shouted. Then Angad looked down at her. She had passed on. "Kripaa??" He shook her gently. Her body was still and completely lifeless. "KRIPAAAAAAAAAAAAa!" he screamed in pain. He held onto her tightly, burying his face into her neck. He was crying so loudly and painfully that both their bodies shook.
Part 45
Prithivi and the others finally made it to where Angad and Kripa were. They circled Angad, who was bent over holding someone they couldn't see. "BOSS," said Prithivi as he put his hand on Angad's shoulder. "Are you okay? Where's Krish??" Angad lifted his head up and Prithivi saw who Angad was holding. He fell back into the sand shocked. "K…Kripa??" he asked in disbelief. "Kripa??" the others repeated. "Krish is Kripa?? asked Dhruv.Angad nodded his head. "She dressed up as a guy to join SechsKies to be with me." "You're right, Mickey. Kripa did love Karan," said Josh quietly. Prithivi got up and hugged both Angad's and Kripa's bodies tightly. "Why??" he asked crying. Everyone remained silent. Angad shook his head. He moved away from Prithivi and turned to face all of them. "SechsKies is my family. You guys are all like my brothers. Please be my witness as I make this promise to Kripa."
They nodded their heads sadly and listened. "Kripa," Angad began. "When you were alive, I was never able to tell you that I loved you. Now that you're gone, you don't believe I love you. Even though I never showed you the kind of love you wanted me to, it doesn't mean I didn't love you with all I have. Angad paused and yanked off the ring around his necklace.
"With SechsKies here as my witnesses, I, Angad Khanna, take Kripa Sharma as my wife 'til eternity. I have nothing to give you Kripa except my heart, which belonged to you from the first day we met." He kissed her lips as he slipped on the ring. The others watched him in silence. They were surprised when because of all the time Angad had been their leader, he had never used his real name Angad before. They knew he was serious. When it was over, Angad lifted Kripa up into his arms as he stood up.
"As your leader, I have a final announcement to make. I am quitting SechsKies." "What??" they all asked in disbelief. "BOSS," said Mannan. "Please reconsider." Angad shook his head. "This is the second time Kripa left me. I really can't go on as your leader. The person I loved the most is taken away from me too soon and she died not knowing that I truly do love her." The others understood what Angad meant. Kartik walked up to Angad. "What do you plan to do then Karan??" "I don't know," he answered.
I'll be somewhere where I'll always be with Kripa and constantly remind her that I love her. And as for SechsKies, with all the money and businesses we have, I don't see any reason why we have to commit any more crimes. We each have enough money to spend for the rest of our lives already." They all nodded. Angad placed a hand on Prithivi's shoulder. "Prithivi," said Angad. "Yes BOSS??" said Prithivi. "If you do love Harshni, tell her before it's too late. Prithivi nodded. "I will."
Angad looked at his 5 brothers for the last time. "This final meeting of SechsKies is now adjourned. I wish you all the best and hope you do find your true love because I have. Good bye." Angad picked up Kripa's book and scribbled something into it. When he was done, he placed it down back on the rock. Then Angad lifted Kripa's body up into his arms as he walked away..........
"BOSSSS!" shouted Prithivi. "Where are you going??" Angad continued walking and didn't answer him. The 5 Kies watched their leader walk towards the sunset carrying his bride and disappeared. They picked up the book to see what Angad had written. The last entry of Kripa's story was, "tRuE LuV neVeR hAs aN eNdInG"**Another meaning of love is sacrifice**
