Chapter 27
Part 26
The kiss seemed to last forever. Finally, after what seemed like forever but only was a couple of minutes, they stopped. Angad moved his head, but he was still on top of Kripa. They were breathless and their breaths were as warm as toast. When they finally caught their breaths, Angad got off Kripa and then extended his hand forward to help her get up. She held onto his hand and got up. However, just then Angad slipped and fell again. This time, Kripa landed on top of him. They both looked at each other and laughed. Kripa got up and Angad extended his hand for her to help him up but she ignores it and walks off. He smiled and shook his head. Neither was angry with the other anymore. Even though they had not apologized to each other, it was all said in that one kiss. All unspoken words were spoken through that one kiss. Angad got off, brushed off the sand and ran to catch up with Kripa.
They both just walked side-by-side for a few minutes. Then, Angad slowly unfolded his hands and held onto Kripa's. Kripa just smiled in response and they both continued to walk, now hand-in-hand. After a long walk, the parking lot was visible. Angad saw his car and then turned to see Kripa's car. He frowns and then asks Kripa to wait a second. She reluctantly lets go of his hand and waits as he runs across to the parking lot. She turns around and watches the calm water of the lake roll gently by. Angad came back after a while and stood next to her. For a few more minutes, they watched the river and then slowly turned around and walked back towards their cars. No words were spoken the whole time. Kripa frowned as they approached the parking lot. She had forgotten that she had brought her car, she wanted to go with Angad. Angad took out his keys and went to his car as Kripa went to hers.
She dropped her keys and as she picked them up, she realized that her tire was flat. "Darn" she muttered. While getting up, she kicked the tire and then turned around to see Angad getting into his car. What she did not see was the secret grin on his face. She went to her trunk and took a spare tire out. Angad controlled his laughter as he saw her realize that two of her tires were flat.
<Flashback>
Angad approaches Kripa's car. He looks around and finds a piece of broken glass. He smirks and picks it up. Then, he turns around to see Kripa staring at the lake. He quickly pierces the glass towards two of her tires and then runs back.
<End of Flashback>
This time she turned around to see Angad backing his car out of the parking space and heading towards her. "Come on in" he motioned for her to sit beside him. She put the spare tire away and obeyed.
The car ride was quiet. A little too quiet. Angad broke the ice. "So…what were you doing at the beach at, like 1 AM??"
"I can ask you the same question" she replied looking out the window. He did not say anything for a long time. And when he did, he spoke softly, "The calm water makes me relaxed, I come here for peace, when I am unhappy, sad, depressed, and sick of life."
"So, what was the reason this time?" Kripa asked.
"All of them" he replied. She stayed quiet.
"Okay, now my turn, once again, what were you doing at the beach so late?" he asked.
"For the same reasons you were, I am depressed, sad, unhappy, hating life, and I love the beach, its the calmest place I could think of" Kripa replied. He nodded his head, silently.
"I am sorry," he simply stated. She turned her attention towards him and asked, "For??"
"For making you cry…" he answered.
"Why would I be crying because of you" she lied between her teeth and it was obvious.
"I don't know, I wasn't the one crying…or actually I do" Angad said.
"Really...why? Why was I crying, then?" she asked. Angad turned the car towards her driveway and turned to her, just staring at her for a few minutes. She looked away.
"Do you know who I sang that song for?" he asked.
"Who?" she asked innocently, still looking away.
"The love of my life" he replied not looking at her. She started to get out of the car when he asked, "Don't you want to know who it is?"
"No, some other time" she replied as she quickly got out of the car. Before she went in she turned around and told Angad, "And next time please leave my tires alone, I don't know why you would do such a thing" She knew quite well, but for now she turned around and went home, smiling.
Next day was a Saturday. Kripa wanted to see Angad but she couldn't think of an excuse. She finally called him up around 12. He picked up and said in a sleepy voice, "'ello?"
"Hey!" she said in a cheerful tone. He smiled sleepily, "Good morning"
"You mean good afternoon its 1 pm, boy, u sleep pretty late!" she said.
"I came home late last night just like you, and I couldn't go to sleep…" he replied.
"Me neither! That's why I have been awake for so long…didn't sleep all night" she said.
"Really?" he asked. "I wonder why.." She blushed. "Why are you blushing?"
"Who said I am blushing, and why would I be blushing?" she said.
"I know you are blushing, now, why did you disturb my sleep I was having a great dream!"
"I am bored!"
"So you disturbed my sleep because you were bored??????"
"Yup" she said cheekily.
"You girls….Okay, come over to my place in like 20 minutes" he said
"Okay!!" she replied.
She dressed into a pair of torn jeans and an Aeropostale Sweater and exactly after 20 minutes went over to Angad's house. The butler invited her in and she went up to Angad's room. She knocked on the door and a voice from inside said, "Come In" She went in to see the room a huge mess and Angad standing in the middle shirtless. She began to turn around, "Why didn't you say you were changing??" she asked.
"Can you please help me choose something? I am too lazy" he pleaded.
"Fine" She headed to his closet and took out a t-shirt for him. "Here" she handed it to him and he wore it.
Then, he looked at the doorway and smiled, "Morning ...Kripa meet the love of my life" He went over to the person and hugged her. Kripa slowly turned around, shocked, and not ready to face the person. However, when she did turn around, she let out a sigh of relief.
"…World's Greatest… Dadi!"
She smiled went over to her and took her blessings. Dadi was impressed and gave her a hug. "So you are Kripa" Kripa nodded.
"Angad talks about you all the time, I have been waiting to meet you…"
They sat and chatted for a few minutes and then Dadi left leaving Angad and Kripa alone. "So…" Angad began.
"So?" Kripa asked.
"What do you wanna do?" he asked
"Umm…..uhhhh...i want toooo…..eat ice cream!!"
"Ice cream?" he asked. She nodded her head. "In this weather?? Have you gone mad???"
"I want ice cream!" she said stubbornly.
"Oh Kripa come on!! How about we go to Krispy Kreme and have some donuts and...hot chocolate?"
"You are so boring! I want ice cream!!!!!!!!!"
"Okay, okay, fine, let's go get some ice cream"
They went in Angad's car over to.. Hagen-Dazs. (lol, where do rich people get ice cream??) They bought ice cream, ate it, and then fooled around. The rest of the day they spent having fun, watching movies, and Angad took Kripa to places she hadn't been to before. At the end, they ended up at the lake. Lake Michigan looked beautiful and dangerous because it was so cold and icy. They both took a blanket and sat down on the grass, staring at the beautiful sigh of the sun setting. They chatted for a long time and we hear a song playing in the background as they enjoy themselves,

Mohabbat hi mohabbat hai

Na subaho ki khabar hai sanam

khayalo main hai chaya hua

Oh deewangi Hai iss Kadar
Mujhko nahi apni khabar
aaisa deewana hua hai yeh dil aapke pyaar main - 2
Tanhaiya mehfil bani
tum jo mile manzil mili
aaisa deewana hua hai yeh dil aapke pyaar main - 2
When they did not have anything left to stay both just remained sitting with their eyes closed. Angad opened his first and looked at Kripa who had her eyes closed and her face held a peaceful, calm expression. She felt his gaze and opened her eyes. She stared at him and then moved her head away. Both wanted to say something to each other but did not know if they should. If it was the right time. If the other felt the same way. Questions like these were running through their minds.
Both Angad and Kripa began speaking at the same time, "Kripa"
"Angad"
Pause
"You go first," Angad said
"No, you go ahead" Kripa said.
"No you" Angad said.
"Come on, forget about me, first you" she really was starting to get curious about why he looked so nervous and fidgety.
He got up and walked a few steps away from her and stood. Then he turned around and began, "I…" He took a deep breath. "I have been wanting to tell you this, for...some time now." He stopped for a minute and then began again, choosing his words carefully, "You were the first girl that became my friend. My best friend. You were the first girl that I felt like I could not hurt, I felt protective of you. I miss you when you are not with me, when I touch you I feel this weird sensation, when I am with you I feel like I am the luckiest person on earth. Recently, I have realized what this feeling is." He turned around and looked at Kripa straight in the eyes. "Kripa Sharma I have fallen in lo.." Kripa's cell phone began to ring and Angad paused.
Reluctantly and angrily, Kripa picked up the phone. "Hello?" she grumbled. Someone just ruined the perfect moment. There was a pause at the end of the line. No one spoke "Hello?" she asked again.
"Di?" a crying Ananya said.
"Ananya?? Why are you crying? What happened? Is everything ok?" She got up and paced around, really worried. Angad frowned and went over to where she was standing, or more like moving around.
"Di!" Ananya cried, "Aryan.."
"What happened to Aryan?? Is he okay?" Ananya just continued to cry. "Say something, dammit," Now she was getting hysterical, she screamed, "what happened to Aryan?"
"Di, Aryan got into an accident and is in a very critical condition" Aaliya spoke through the phone now.
Kripa fell down on her knees, "What?? How?? Where??" She felt numb and it was freezing. Angad took the phone from her and spoke into it "Hello? Aaliya?" He talked to her for a minute, asking where the hospital was, etc. and then ended the call. Kripa was crying hard. He could not see her like this. "Kripa? Lets go to the hospital, come on get up" he extended his hand and helped her get up. She held onto him as they got into the car and drove to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Kripa's eyes were red from crying and she was still crying. She hadn't realized that they were at the hospital. "Kripa?" Angad spoke softly. She looked up. He wiped her tears. "We are here" She looked at the hospital and began to get out of the car. Angad got out too and they both began to enter the hospital. But before they could, Angad turned her around, and wiped her tears. "You have to be strong Kripa. Please, I know how you feel right now, but you need to be strong and stop crying. You heard Ananya on the phone right?" She nodded her head. "You have to be strong for her, ok? Wipe your tears, and take a deep breath." She obeyed and they both entered the hospital.
Everyone stood outside of the operation theater, tensed. Ananya had her head in Kripa's lap, who had her head on Angad's shoulder. Aaliya and Naina were sitting down with Dadi. Surya and Gayatri Sharma had taken the next flight from India and would be arriving soon. The clock struck nine and a nurse came out. "Visiting hours are over, I am afraid you all will have to leave; only one person can stay with the patient." Dadi got up and Naina and Aaliya got up as well. Dadi went over to Kripa and Ananya and kissed Kripa's forehead. "Dear, you need to take some rest, everything will be all right, leave it to God. I shall take leave now." She looked at Angad, "Take care of her, and all three of you need to get something to eat, or you'll get sick, look at your faces." It was true, all were worn-out and tired. Dadi, Naina and Aaliya left. Now, two more people had to leave.
Angad spoke. "Ananya I think you should leave, you have been here longer than us and you haven't even eaten." Ananya protested but finally Angad and Kripa convinced her. Angad went to drop her and then came back and sat next to Kripa.
Kripa looked up, shocked, "You came back?"
"Yea" Angad said casually.
"How…" She paused. "I thought only one person could stay?"
"Did you really think I would leave you alone?" he asked. Kripa stayed quiet. "I know some people here; I convinced the doctor to let me stay."
Kripa just nodded her head. They both sat there on the bench and slowly Kripa fell asleep on Angad's shoulder. Angad placed his head on hers and slowly fell asleep as well.
The next morning, Angad was the first to wake up. He realized he was at the hospital with Kripa and looked at her sleeping with her head on his shoulder. He gently moved her head and placed her on the bench. He went to the bathroom and washed his face, etc. When he went back to the bench, Kripa wasn't there. She appeared a few minutes later looking much better than she had the day before, tired, but a bit fresh. She sat next to Angad and they just sat there quietly, not sure what to do.
A doctor came out and went up to Angad and Kripa. "Which one of you is related to the patient?" he asked
"I am his sister" Kripa said.
"May I talk to you ma'am?" the doctor asked. Kripa turned to Angad and put a hand on his arm.
"Can he come too?" she asked.
"Sure" the doctor said. "Please follow me to my office." They followed him to his office and sat across from him. The doctor referred to some files and then began speaking, "Aryan Sharma was driving when his car collided with a truck. The impact of the crash on his body was huge. Currently his condition is very critical. "
"What exactly happened to him that made his state so critical, it was just a crash, were there any internal injuries?" Angad asked.
The doctor nodded. "Yes there were internal injuries. In a crash, even after a human body comes to a complete stop, its internal organs are still moving. Suddenly, these internal organs slam into other organs or even the skeletal system. This "internal collision" is what often causes serious injury or death. This collision did occur, his internal organs crashed into one another, but that is not what we are worried about the most."
Kripa shifted uncomfortably in her seat, and Angad squeezed her hand. "What are you worried about, then?" he asked.
"You see, when the accident occurred, the brain hit the skull very hard severing connections between the patient's brain stem and his conscious brain and causing an artery in his brain to rupture. The blood flowed so quickly from the artery that it did not congeal at the point of damage and seal the wound. The patient has haematoma, a swelling composed of blood. If it is large enough, it can compress or shift the brain, damaging sensitive structures in the brain stem. It can also raise the pressure inside the skull, which could shut off the blood supply to the brain. In this case, the problem is that the haematoma could have crushed the area of the brain that controls the breathing and the heartbeat. The brain then acts to protect itself, causing unconsciousness and possibly coma. That is when things can get serious. Coma can last a few days, weeks, months, or even years. We have conducted some tests and are waiting for the results. I just wanted to inform you." With that, he got up and Kripa and Angad followed him out to the hallway. "It will take a while for the reports to come in and you can't meet the patient. I heard that you two were here all night, you may go home and we will inform you of our progress. " He then left.
Angad looked at Kripa and asked, "Do you want to go get something to eat?" She shook her head, "No, I am ok."
"Come on Kripa, you are going to get sick you didn't even eat anything yesterday, lets get some pancakes or something from, IHOP its across the street" he said. She hesitated but finally agreed and they went over to IHOP and had breakfast. When they went back, the doctor had some news for them. Good or bad? You will find out in the next part…
