The two troubles are just speechless for a while (very unusual for their type) then suddenly
AN: Masi is this a joke
N: That Kirpa, she is such a pethatic thing, she couldn't get hold of Angad so now she worked her charms on Prithvi and she is marrying him quickly so that he doesn't have a chance to re-think.
AN: Masi have you noticed that Angad has been out of the house a lot and Karthik has missed a couple of meetings at the office too, do you think that they are at dadi's helping out for the wedding
N: how can that be, Angad hates Kirpa (open ur eyes lady)
AN: but he is a changed man since he came back from his holiday and to think of it he came back early and was very disturbed.
N: (hmmmmmmmmmmm)
Next morning Angad and Karthik come down dressed nicely, Naina, Anita and Mr Khanna are sitting at the table having breakfast.
Mr K: Where are you two of to dressed all smartly, some meeting?
KA: No papa I have cancelled my morning meeting, there is a little get together at Dadi's, we are going there.
N: Oh so r we not invited
A: No its only for people close to the bride and groom. (Acid)
KA: we will be back very late so don't wait up.
N: (descretly to Anita) whats with Karthik
The two brothers drive up to Bose residence and pick up Mishti and Mrs Bose. Mishti is looking very pretty in a yellow and green plain lehnga and Damini Bose has a black and blue Saree on. Before they leave Angad goes to Prithvi and
A: 3 days left Prithvi, are you still counting
P: What do you think, I cant wait to see her it has been 4 long days (he has the love of the world in his eyes)
A: I have a surprise for you, you will get it today.
The foursome go to dadi's house where they are putting up decorations for the wedding. Kirpa is ready to go to the parlour for her pre wedding treatment but dadi's driver is off sick, dadi will not allow Kirpa to go by herself.
M: Dadi can I take her, I have to see my hairdresser as well.
KA: I will drive you two there, ok.
D: Yes that would be ideal.
K: Thanks Mishti
They leave in dadi's car while Angad is finalising the drinks, entre and main meal list so he could give the order to the hotel where Prithvi had proposed (just because Kirpa liked the food over there)
Karthik drops Kirpa at the parlour and promises to pick her up in 2 hours. Karthik and Mishti are sitting in the car, Mishti realises that Karthik keeps looking at her (doosey eyed). Karthik stops the car infront of a shop
KA: I will be back in a minute
M: ok, I'll just wait in the car
Karthik goes in the shop and buys Hugo Boss Deep Red and gets it gift wrapped. He goes back to the car and hands the gift to mishti.
M: What is this
KA: its just a small gift for you, open it
M: (flattered) thanks
She unwraps it and is amazed to see that it is her favourite perfume (my fav)
M: Karthik how did you know that I like deep red?
K: (being a man of few words) just a guess
Then he drops Mishti at her hair dressers and tells her he will be back in 1 hour. He goes to the office and checks some paper work and sign some documents that are needed urgently, he picks up some work that he can do from work and leaves to pick up Mishti. Once on there way to pick up Kirpa the tyre punctures and the spare is punctured as well. Karthik is frustrated but mishti tells him to relax and calls Angad on his mobile,
M: Angad where are you
A: I am at the restaurant, just finished the food order
M: good, u are near the parlour. The bad news is that Dadi's car has a puncture, it will take an hour or two to repair can u pick up Kirpa as she will be free in 20 mins.
A: Ok, I'll leave straight away, you don't worry
KA: Good thinking Mishti, you solve problems so easily, not just a beautiful face ( he goes all soft again)
M: stop it Karthik, you are praising me too much.
In the meantime Angad goes and picks up Kirpa, he tells her about the puncture.
A: Kirpa I met Prithvi today he is missing you so much, he hasn't spoken to you for 4 days and he looks like a lost soul.
K: I know he did call but was told off by dadi!!
A: I feel for the guy so what I am going to do is keep everyone busy once we get home and you can talk to him on my mobile. If anyone asks I'll just tell them that u r resting.
K: Thanks Angad
A: no problem
They get home, the decorations are up and it is looking very pretty, Mrs Sharma asks if they should serve lunch but
K: Mishti and Karthik will be back in an hour so we should wait, I want to rest till then.
D: Ok beta you have had a long morning, go to your room.
K: thanks dadi
Angad leaves the grown ups busy talking and slips from there unnoticed. He goes to Kirpa's room and dials Prithvi's number.
P: Hello
A: Hi how r u
P: same as this morning
A: I have been very busy all day I think this is the last job I am going to do today
P: what is it
He hands the phone to Kirpa and leaves the room
K: Hello Prithvi
P: Oh hi Kirpa
K: Angad has changed a lot
P: Yes he is. He had promised me a surprise this morning and this is brilliant
K: If I cant see you atleast I am able to hear your voice thanks to Angad.
They have a nice loving chat for an hour. Then dadi comes up calling Kirpa's name. She hurriedly
K: Oh Prithvi, I have to go dadi is her, if she catches me we are in trouble
P: I feel like a child again and I am enjoying it, you go bye
K: Bye see you in 3 days
Dadi enters the room as Kirpa hides the phone and pretends to yawn and get out of bed.
D: beta come down for lunch, everyone is waiting for the bride to be
K: (BLUSHES)ok dadi, I'll be there in a minute
She freshens up and all of them have a pleasant lunch. Kirpa looks at Angad with gratitude in her eyes and Angad acknowledges. All the while there is this thing going on between Mishti and Karthik (ankhion hi ankhion mai teri meri baat hoi). Again love is in the air.
Angad and Karthik leave to drop Mishti and Mrs Bose at home. When they reach to Bose residence, Mishti remembers that she had to drop an invitation at her friend's house. Karthik offers to take her, Mrs Bose invites Angad in while Karthik is taking Mishti for the errand.
M: I don't have to go to a friends house Karthik, I just wanted to spend some more time with you
KA: I don't understand Mishti
M: I think you do, but you have always been the quite one to speak up. I have seen you very closely today, you are always over shadowed by Angad. Even at home, I have only seen you in the background, today I saw you and your love for me in your eyes and gestures. I want to tell you that I am flattered by all this. I have never felt like this, I can see it in your eyes….
KA: (In a very lost voice)what can you see Mishtiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
M: an ocean of love for me, I want to spend time with you to discover you. I never thought you would be so interesting, even without speaking so much, you have said so much today. You have said what counts. You know my likes and dislikes, can we be friends and see where this takes us?
KA: I would be honoured
M: Its getting late now, can we go home.
Karthik takes her home and like a gentleman opens the door for her. She gets out and invites Karthik in the house. He declines and asks Mishti to send Angad out.
A: Karthik lets go
A: Hello (waving a hand infront of him)
KA: oh sorry I didn't know you had come
A: I can see that, whats up brother
KA: nothing
A: don't give me that, you were lost in ur thoughts all day today. If I didn't know you I would say that u were in love ( and lets out a laugh)
KA: (in a dreamy voice) I am in love
A: What, When, How, who with………………….
Hope you guys enjoy this, I had to dedicate another of my paid work hour to this ( very bad I know, but I am one of the wicked) 😉
