Angad dressed up in his dressy trousers and multi-colored checks on white background polo T-shirt with red collar. He checked himself once again and satisfied. He laughed once and talked himself "Arey, Angad, the great! Why are you so excited? This is Prithvi and Kripa's engagement party. Not yours. And Kripa is not your fiance but Prithvi's."
He felt sad "Chalo, kiski bhi ho Kripa ko dekhney ka mouka toh milti haina. I'm happy for that. I liked her. Ooh! Wait a minute. Don't turn this 'like' into 'love'. You will be in trouble!!! LIKE and LOVE kitna faraq raha donon mein??" he laughed himself loudly and rubbed his heart dramatically "What can I do to this heart? It's jumping to think about Kripa!!"
He once again checked and stopped at the door before stepping out of his room. He walked to his album collections and went through them quickly and picked one album and thought in mind "Nahin, wo gana gaoonga ki Kripa jindagi bhar yaad rakheygi!!" and decided about a song and walked out with smile "As if someone is going to ask me to sing a song for her!! What if no one care about my song? Koyi baat nahin, I only offer as a gift to her" he satisfied with his thoughts and walked into the living room.
Naina in blue Banaras sari, Anittah in grey and light pink strap parallels, Dilip in his beige suit, Devyani in white Bengal cotton sari, are waiting for him for half an hour. He shrug his shoulders when everyone turned at him Kya hai? Why are you all looking at me like that?".
They all teased him "Hum soch rahey they ki tumhara shadi par kitna time logaogey?" Angad blushed first time in front of them. Naina and Devyani exchanged looks and shook head "Waqt agaya hai".
Khannas left for the party together. By the time they went Bose apartments' club house, it is filled with many guests. Damini invited all her colleagues. She received Khannas and took inside to show the prospective bride and groom.
Kripa is looking gorgeous in pink and light blue ghagra with full zardousi work and matching jewelry. Her hair is tied up in bun with curls hanging all around. Prithvi wore matching pink jacket and light sky blue trousers and looking handsome.
They all congratulated them. Angad and Dilip shook hands with Prithvi. Naina and Devyani kissed Kripa's forehead and blessed. Anittah hugged Kripa and greeted. Naina, Devyani and Dilip went to greet Sharma family. Some of Khanna industries greeted their boss and his family. Anittah stood besides Kripa for moral support. Aaliyah came and met her and hugged "Tum abb ayi ho? Subhah hi ana tha, tum kaisi friend ho?" Kripa warned them from arguing.
"Bhaiyya! She is Aaliyah. Prithvi's younger sister. She is dong her MBA. School mein humsey theen saal senior thi. But still we three are best friends." Anittah excitedly introduced.
Angad shook his head "We already met in our house. How are you?"
Aaliyah wore blue parallel with work and one side shoulder strap other side regular sleeve blouse. Her hair is left loose with curls at the end. She held her hand to shake with Angad's. She is happy that Angad remembered and recognized her. Angad shook her hand and Aaliyah gave sharp looks at him. Angad felt conscious as taking his hand back "Yeh ladki kuch fast lagti hai!!"
His eyes went onto Kripa who is shyly laughing for something that Prithvi whispered in her ear. Angad felt jealous "what would I have done if I were there in his place!!" a thought came in his mind.
Misthy came meanwhile from behind patting Angad's back and wished Kripa, Prithvi and everyone else. "Hi, Angad! glad to see you here. We never got to see you in our company parties so far."
She took Angad from there and Angad noticed Aaliyah's jealousy expression. He smiled in his mind. All Misthy's assistants and other colleagues praised her attire "Misthy! You are gorgeous in this black sari. So typical Indian attire!! Tum bhi jaldi engagement karlo and give us a big party." She smiled for all their comments and took Angad to a corner.
They heard different comments from their young ladies praising Angad's charm.
Misthy smiled at Angad. She took some cold drinks for both "Kahin pey bhi jaao tumhara tareef hi sunney ko padraha hai aaj kal. Pura office mein sab ladkiyan tum par fida hai. Aaj saari lunch per tumhara hi baat huvi thi. Chunlo kissi ek ko." Misthy teased Angad and Angad reciprocated with pride.
"Sab ladkiyan hum par fida hai aur hum kissi aur per." He looked longingly at Kripa. "Khaash uski nazar mujh per hota!" Angad whispered. Misthy made big eyes "Kiski?"
"Kripa ki!" Angad said as he is in trance in admiring Kripa's beauty.
Misthy surprised to look at his way and changed her looks to him. She recovered herself quickly and thought of distracting him looked at the prospective couple "Kitna sundar Jodi haina? Both are looking gorgeous. Damini ma'm toh cloud 9 pe hai. Sharma sir also proud of his damaad."
Damini approached them to greet them "Hi, Misthy! Thanks for coming. Tum bhi jaldi news dedo. Kab tak tadpaogi Shabbir ko?" Misthy smiled and blushed. Angad wondered if Misthy is having affair with someone. Damini turned to him "Angad! Abb Naina ji ko bhi tumhara shadi ka phikar horahi hai. Jaldi sey achisi ladki ko pasand karlo. Kab tak ladkiyon ko intezaar mein rakhogay?"
Somehow he is not appreciating Damini's over friendliness but mumbled with a smile on face.
He laughed sipping his juice "Kripa jaisi koyi miley toh karletey!!"
Misthy heard and shocked but Damini missed it as someone distracted her at the same time.
"Kya ho raha hai, Angad? Are you in senses?" Misthy warned after Damini left. Angad chuckled "I somehow hate this woman" he whispered in her ears. "Mere baat chodo. Tumhara yeh shabbir ka chakkar hai?" Misthy blushed "We are in serious relationship. Shabbir is ready to marry and I'm waiting for another month. Most probably next month I'll fix the date." Angad congratulated her.
Misthy chuckled and looked at Aaliyah "Lagta hai Aaliyah is developing feelings for you. See, kaisi tumhara taraf dekh rahi hai. Think about her, acha rista hai. She is MBA and beautiful." Angad turned that side but his eyes fell on Kripa. Kripa also met her eyes as if he called her. She felt conscious and turned to Prithvi.
Angad sighed "Ussey jada wo ladki mujhey achi lagti hai" he whispered in Misthy's ears showing Kripa. Misthy slapped him on hand "Don't, she is already taken."
Angad continued without turning his stares from Kripa "wo Prithvi mein kya dekhi thi? Mein kuch kami nahin hoon" Misthy shocked for his thoughts but recovered from her shock "Tum nahin, tumhara Luck kum tha. Wo Prithvi ko tumsey pehley mili thi. You are late."
"Late' is better than 'never'. Angad is getting jealous when Prithvi whispered again in Kripa's ear and Kripa blushed. "She should be mine!!!" he firmly thought in his mind.
Prithvi took a mic and announced about Kripa's singing despite of Kripa's warning with shy. Prithvi gave her the mic and stood aside tucking his hands into his trouser pockets. Kripa started singing and blushing with Prithvi's longing looks. Some men joined her with instrumental music.

moraa goraa ang lai le, mohe shaam rang dai de
chhoop jaaoongee raat hee me, mohe pee kaa sang de de
yek laaj roke paiyyaa, yek moh khinche baiyyaa
jaaoo kidhar naa jaanoo, humakaa koee bataaeede
badalee hataa ke chandaa, choop ke se zaanke chandaa
tohe raahoo laage bairee, musakaye jee jalaayake
kuchh kho diyaa hain paayake, kuchh paa liyaa gawaayake
kahaa le chalaa hain manawaa, mohe baawaree banaayake
Angad totally mesmerized with her beautiful voice. "Very melodious voice, beautiful!!" he commented and Misthy felt he is falling for Kripa. Kripa sometimes meeting her eyes with Angad as his eyes are piercing constantly even from distance.
Prithvi asked Kripa to dance with her. Both of them walked into the center and started dancing. Kripa is blushed when Prithvi put his hands around her and hers around his neck. Angad clinched his teeth and nodded his head. Misthy read those expressions "Angad! What's going on? You are thinking too much."
Kripa looked Angad over Prithvi's shoulder both met their eyes and Kripa startled and covered herself by turning her eyes at Prithvi.
Angad smiled and looked into Misthy's eyes "I feel she is also attracted to me like I'm drawing towards her." "But don't forget she is engaged now. Don't hurt yourself. Control your heart now itself." Misthy is trying to console him.
Angad smiled carelessly "It's too late Misthy! I already lost my heart." Misthy is in shock and he left her to walk to the stage. Misthy is staring at him thinking how to stop him from future vulnerability. She walked to join him.
Gayatri spotted Angad in the midway and stopped him "Hi, Angad! Glad to see you here. You were never been with us before though our families are great friends for long time."
Angad didn't seem happy for her interference but he felt "After all she is Kripa's mother, I should respect her." Misthy is observing both of them with a smile on face. Angad rolled his tongue and smiled at Gayatri "I'm also happy to see you all so close Aunty! I realised what I missed so far" he winked at Misthy making her shock and smile for his hidden meaning. She pinched secretly at his waist. Angad gave grin at her.
Gayatri as innocent continued "Mein bi sunia thi ki tum bahut acha gaata hai? Why don't you sing a song in this occasion?" She pulled his hand to drag him to the stage. He felt happy as his wish getting fulfilled without any effort. He gave a meaningful smile to Misthy and Misthy nodded her head as following him too.
Kripa is wondering at Gayatri for dragging Angad to the stage. Prithvi left her to meet some of his friens who are working in Khanna Industries.
Gayatri took the mic and announced "Hi, everyone! Today is a wonderful day in Kripa and Prithvi's life and in a few days both are becoming one to start their life together. Here, Angad, only son of Dilip Khanna, the prince of entire Khanna properties, is presenting a song on this beautiful occasion."
Angad smiled bowing his head to her and other guests giving stares to Kripa took the mic. "I'm happy to dedicate a song for the future couple."
Kripa is surprised and Angad gave a wicked stare. Prithvi and Kripa exchanged looks and Prithvi encouraged Angad by placing his right hand on his heart and bowing to him. Angad shook his head and started singing.

Roz Shyam Aati Thi
He walked to Prithvi winking at him as if he is singing on behalf of him. He is giving stares at Kripa when Prithvi is behind him or he is behind Prithvi. Kripa and Misthy read the hidden meaning of the song. Kripa's heart is beating fast with unknown fears. Devyani noticed the expressions on Kripa, Angad and Misthy and surprised for Angad's behavior.
Damini, Naina, Gayatri stood together enjoying his songs. Damini felt proud as her boss sang for her son. Naina felt happy for Angad spending time in her society. Gayatri thought "Khaash Angad pehla Kripa sey mil gaya hota!!" She agreed for this match as Prithvi has bright future to establish his career in States.
