Part 27
"Well here we are" Angad said throwing his bag to the corner of the big and beautiful honey moon suit.
"Nice." Kripa said looking around, she had never gotten quite used to the fact of being married into such a rich family but there were definitely some advantages to it. She had never even in her wildest dreams imagined that she would be even stepping into a room so luxurious. She smiled at Angad he was spread out like an eagle on the bed, the journey must have tired him our she supposed. She went out the balcony overlooking a beautiful swimming pool and beyond that she could see the gorgeous beach, and the blue sea.
Angad waved his hand in front of Kripa to wake her up from her day dream, "Hello"
"huh, oh Angad."
"Where are u lost."
"No I was looking at the view, isn't that beach beautiful."
"hmm, ya we don't have too many clean beaches in India, would u like to go."
Kripa looked at him with a shocked expression she couldn't believe that Angad was asking her to go to the beach with him, Angad noticed, "I mean I was going there for a walk, u can come if u wish."
"Oh, yeah might as well, its better then getting bored here." they both secretly smiled to themselves, maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all.
The smell of the sea was like a tonic, freeing both of them of all their troubles, they both walked in silence most of the time making random comments on people and cracking few jokes, Kripa kept bending down an picking particular sea shells. When Angad could keep the question to himself no longer he put it in words, "Why are you pick those up."
"Oh come on Angad don't tell me u have never done this before its so much fun picking out the sea shells with the prettiest pattern. Remember 6th grade we went to the beach as our class trip it was so much fun. We used to poke holes in them and make necklaces out of them. And then the competition on who could make the strongest and the biggest sand castle."
"That was 6th grade Kripa. We were 10 years younger then what we are now."
"11 and a half, but so what its still important to have fun." Kripa ran ahead and picked up another sea shell, examining her find.
Angad smiled he didn't understand how could she look cute, innocent, childish and mature at the same time. She was now constructing a sand castle, the walls on one of them didn't look too steady, he sat down beside her and scooped some sand in his hand making it stronger, "Thanks Angad, this castle would have certainly fell down if it wasn't for you.
Her hand brushed past his, Kripa had done that on purpose, just to see his expression, but before she could a wave covered their sand house or whatever they had made so far destroying it and leaving its remains. Kripa washed her hands in the waves, "well so much for all my hard work." she said looking at the broken and half destroyed sand dome.
"Hey Kripa you have got something on ur cheeks."
"Where? Here?" she said touching her cheeks.
"No little below."
"Here?" she said touching her upper cheeks
"no a little below."
"here?"
"No," he touching her cheeks "wait there is some on ur nose" he touched her nose.
"done?"
"Yup done."
"is it all gone"
"yup"
"then why are u smiling?"
"umm… I am not smiling." he said grinning broadly.
Kripa looked at him untrustingly, she pulled out her mirror, she all of her nose and cheek was covered with wet sand, Angad hadn't washed his hand before touching her face. She looked up angrily but Angad was already on the run, she ran after him scooping some sand and throwing it at him, "Just wait till I catch u, ur soo dead today Mr. Khanna."
"U could never catch me and u never will." he said stopping for a second to tease her, as soon as he finished the sentence he tripped, falling with waves going all over him. Kripa caught up and sat down beside him, trying to catch her breath.
"See…(panting) that's what happens…(panting) to bad people." She said commenting on his fall.
"Seriously Kripa u need some exercise."
"What now ur calling me fat!"
"I didn't say it u did." he said laughing, She started hitting him, and throwing sand on him.
"ouch! I was just joking man." he grabbed her hands to stop her, they both stared into each others eyes for a while.
"We should be getting back." Kripa finally said standing up. Putting out her hand to help Angad up.
