No one knew what to do, Kripa was being stubborn
"fine....just promise me something" Ria asked
"what?"
"If he hits you again then you'll go?"
Kripa hesitated but agreed, the guys all looked at each other, maybe things would get better.........
Chapter 18
Angad jumped in his chair as the phone rang
"hello, what? no i can't...no not now"
He hung up in frustration, things were not going well for him and on top of it Kripa was being a *****, she kept proding Angad about Jasmine but he wouldn't say anything. He was pretty surprised that Kripa was talking to him, especially after the slap he gave her, he thought that would shut her up for a while but no she was at it again, maybe he should.....no no he thought against it, she's pregnant remember, heck the only reason he was still tolerating everything was because of the baby. The baby..only 5 months left now, 5 months and he would be a proud father, but would he be any good, lately he wasn't so sure, if he couldn't be a good and faithful husband then how would he be a good father, but those two relationships were apart from each other weren't they? You didn't have to be a good husband to be a good father and vice versa. Angad put his head back, well he would soon know the answer, with that he opened a file and signed the papers inside.

Priya if it's a girl and................Kripa couldn't think of a name for a boy, well she could but she couldn't decide, she recalled when her and Angad spoke about it one time after their marriage, he had said....Rahul for a boy and Rani for a girl. but who knew. Kripa put the baby names book down and sipped her juice. She looked at the clock, Angad should be home soon, she would ask him then. She hadn't entirely forgiven him for hitting her and part of her had wanted to lash back at him but she hadn't, she thought if she did then she would be the same as Angad and if both of them were like that, how would the marriage survive, but that didn't mean if he hit her again she wouldn't hit back. Sometimes she felt like walking out, just giving up and going away but then something would make her stay, maybe her feelings, or her memories of Angad or maybe even the baby, but Anjali was right, this was the 21st centruy, if the marriage wasn't working then there was no reason to stay even if she was pregnant.
**********************************
Angad walked in and saw Kripa flipping through another baby book, she looked up at him and decided to ask him
"Angad"
"yea?"
"what shall we name the baby?"
Angad sat down and thought for a while
"erm I don't know"
Kripa shook her head, wow what an insightful answer, she shouldn't have asked. Angad received a phonecall and went upstairs, damn him and his phonecalls, there was a time when he would let Kripa answer his calls but now she was lucky if he answered the phone in front of her. Something had obviously shocked him as he ran downstairs and began frantically looking for something
"what are you looking for?"
"something"
great thought Kripa, another insightful answer. Why did she bother, she sat there as Angad searched the drawers and inevitably found what he was looking for, some file and an envelope. Kripa was two seconds away from asking him what they were but figured she would get a "none of your business" answer from him, so she just stayed quiet. Angad took a look at her and ran back upstairs and was soon out the front door in a flash. The first thought that occured to Kripa was "is he meeting Jasmine?" She shook her head and forgot the whole matter and went upstairs to get some rest.
**********************************
Kripa's sleep was heavily disturbed as she heard the front door slam shut, she moaned and got out bed, what was Angad thinking by slamming the door shut like that. She went downstairs to find Angad drenched and sitting on the sofa, he looked worried and like any wife she too was worried seeing him like this. She sat down next to him and put her hand on his shoulder which seemed to have frightened him a bit
"is everything ok Angad?"
"erm..."
He looked pretty tense, he stood up and paced the room
"Angad stop please, you're making me dizzy"
He obeyed and stopped where he was, he looked at Kripa
"Angad, tell me what's wrong?"
"I want something from you"
"what?"
"I want you to leave"
Kripa looked at him to see if he was joking but his constant gaze at her said otherwise..................
