Chapter 36
"Hey Baby" The soft whisper startled Kripa, who had been staring at the empty coffee cup in her hand, daydreaming. Her mouth instantly curved into a warm smile as Angad sat down next to her and put his arm around her, his signature move. Putting down her coffee cup, she cuddled closer to him, closing her eyes as she hid her face in his chest. "What's up?"
"Hmm, nothing much, just lying around" she mumbled lazily. Putting his chin lightly over her head, he caressed her arms and closed his eyes as well. "What were you thinking about?" he asked. He patiently waited as she quietly lay in his arms without answering. After a few moments, she finally answered softly, "Nothing much, just… lets go somewhere for dinner, I'm hungry"
"Hungry" Angad repeated. Kripa nodded. Angad just stared at her for a minute, and then slowly got up, "well I'll go get ready, we'll leave in 20 minutes, k?" Without waiting for a response, he left. Kripa stared at his retreating figure with a guilty look and sighed, running her hands through her hair in frustration. Sorry Angad, I'm just not ready to tell you yet. You're so patient, so nice, and me, I'm taking advantage of that, I, I have to tell you now, I cant hold it in anymore, you deserve to know."
Wiping her tears, she got up with a purposeful look and left to her room to get dressed. In the Khanna mansion, Angad was angrily buttoning up his shirt. Why cant she just tell me? Why doesn't she understand that I can't stand this anymore? It's eating her up, and I want to help her, whatever happened to the new start she would boast about? Taking deep breaths he calmed himself down. Its her private matter, maybe she will share it after our marriage, hopefully she will have more faith in my by then. I have to be patient now, be soft with her.
Grabbing his watch, wallet and cell phone, he quickly left the house to pick up Kripa for their dinner date.
After both Angad and Kripa placed their orders and the waiter left, there was an uncomfortable silence between the two. The restaurant was the perfect place for a romantic dinner, the couples around them were all having, quiet sweet conversations. Finally, Kripa broke the silence.
Giving Angad a loving look, she said, "Naraz ho?" (You're angry?) Angad looked into her eyes, "Naraz? Kyun? (Angry, why?) Do I look angry?" Kripa nodded like a kid. After a thirty second pause, she slowly said, looking anywhere but at him "You should be angry, you have full reason to be" He glanced briefly at her, and then quietly sipped his water.
Their dinner came, giving both an excuse to keep quiet. Angad noticed Kripa playing with her food instead of eating it, but didn't comment. As soon as he finished eating, he looked up to see Kripa staring down at her plate, which was untouched. He got up, and moved his chair right next to her. She'd noticed, and was looking at him questioningly, he replied by taking the spoon from her hand and feeding her.
The tears instantly sprung in her eyes at his show of affection. He weakened at the sight of her tears, and she saw the emotions on his face before he suppressed them. He had obviously freaked out, the worried look had crossed his face as well. She inwardly smiled to herself as he gently wiped her tears with his thumb. As soon as the moment end, the awkwardness returned. Uneasy, Angad moved his seat back to where it originally was, and calling the waiter, quickly paid the bill, tipping graciously per habit.
Both got up to leave, and left the place together, keeping some unwanted distance between each other. When they got to the car, Angad opened the door for Kripa, but she didn't respond. He looked up at her to realize that she was lost in her thoughts. Shaking her slightly, he whispered her name to get her attention. She slowly looked up at him and then the car. "Can we take a walk? Please?" she asked, coming out of her thoughts.
Angad slowly nodded, and shutting the door, waited for her to walk forward.

Kya socha, aur kaha…alvida…
After a few minutes they found themselves standing in front of a very familiar place. Kripa smiled as the memories came to her, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Angad doing the same. Her smile widened into a grin, and she swiftly stood in front of him, staring right at into his eyes. He missed the mischief in her eyes because in no time, she had him in a lip-lock. He couldn't help but kiss her back, probing deeper and deeper.
Finally, after a few minutes they let go to catch their breaths. Angad was still holding onto her waist, and she was staring right at him, arms around his neck grinning. He narrowed his eyes, "why are we grinning like the chesire cat?" Kripa's grin just got wider, "I didn't know you were a cat", she seductively ran her finger down his chest.
He just rolled his eyes, "my my aren't we getting romantic" She ignored it and looked at him, a bit serious now, "you know, I've always wanted to stand here and kiss you under the full moon" It was Angad's turn to grin. "So my standing under the moonlight turns you on?"
"Nah, the moonlight turns me on" she said rolling her eyes. "Are you a vampire or something, get away from me" he said mockingly. She took her arms away from his neck, and gave him a smacking kiss on his lips. His grasp on her waist tightened as she let go, and she looked at him seductively, "Angad…jaan…" He looked into her eyes, apparently missing the mischief in there. "Will you…please" He whispered, "Will I please what?"
She batted her eyelashes, "let go of me!" He gave her an annoyed look as she laughed. "What?! don't give me that look! You were the one who told me to get away from you" Angad brought her closer again, so close, he could hear her heart beat hard against her chest. "Sach pooch to (to be honest)" She looked at him and whispered when he paused, "toh kya? (what?)" He gazed into her eyes, "Sach pooch to, tumhare moo say boo aarahi hai (your breath smells)" He said laughing like a maniac. She made a face and hit him, angrily pouting.
"Oh so, just cuz I was being honest I get smacked?" he said fake angrily. She just rolled her eyes and looked at her nails. "Accha baba (ok dear) sorry" he said, pulling at his ears with his fingers, "khush? (happy)" She wrinkled her nose and her arms once again automatically went around his neck. It felt as if they belonged here she thought, inwardly smiling. "I love you jaan" she said, as her eyes got teary.
"Hey! Ro mat (don't cry!) These tears are precious, don't waste them like this" he said, gently wiping her tears for the second time that day. He pulled her to a bench and made her sit on his lap. "Uff, kitney bhaari hogayi ho (dam* you are so heavy now!)" She smacked him tearfully. "Tum bohot buray ho! (You are very bad!)" This caused him to roll his eyes. "Jaise tum bari achi ho! (As if you are very nice!)" He got serious now, "Honestly, you are very thin and fragile, you lost A LOT of weight that you shouldn't have lost. Are you stressed?" he said caressing her cheeks.
"Angad…I have a lot to tell you… but first… I want to ask some things that have been bothering me forever" she said, putting her head on his chest. Angad blissfully sighed, letting the moment sink in. Before she could say anything, he spoke, "You know how you always wanted to kiss me under the moonlight here? Whenever we would come here, to the park, there would be a couple sitting on this bench, just like this, and I always imagined us here instead of them...after…after you left… I use to sit here until the sunset, it felt so peaceful"
She sniffled and stayed quiet for a few minutes. "Angad…did you ever love….or like Neha more than a friend?" she asked bluntly. He gently moved her back and made her look into his yes. "Now, how come I saw that question coming?" She just shrugged innocently. "Neha, is, was, and will always be, my close friend, when I say, friend, I mean friend, not love, you should know by now, that you are my closest friend, and only love. I never liked Neha more than a friend, and neither did she." After hearing this, she felt better, but got lost in her thoughts, for now the confusion was building up.
He continuously stared at her, simply waiting for her to speak. She looked away from him and spotted something that made her blood run cold. In one quick swift motion, she had moved away from Angad and pulled out a gun from her back, leaving Angad shocked out of his wits. The person she had seen was now quickly escaping. Slipping out of her heels, she quickly took off after the man, her gun ready to shoot.
A bewildered Angad took a few seconds to process the situation and in a few minutes also had pulled out a gun, running towards where Kripa had run off, silently praying that she was safe, for he couldn't see her anymore.
Kripa stopped to catch her breath after running a few miles. Her head was spinning from all the running, and unfortunately, the guy had gotten away. She slowly started walking again, trying to find a store where she could get some water. After walking a mile or so, something caught her eye. Behind one of the trees, there was some light coming, a bluish glow.
She subtly moved forward, going extremely slow in fear the person would hear her approaching. The person moved, and she quickly hid behind a tree, but they had sensed her presence. A few minutes later, she heard a clicking sound, and then the hooded figure was running away again. She took off after him, and now she could hear someone else approaching from the back. But she couldn't let that man go.
After running another three miles, she had lost him again. She angrily kicked at a rock and then started coughing uncontrollably. In a few minutes, she was spitting out blood. Her throat hoarse, she looked around for water, but she was actually standing in the middle of a huge park. She felt some movement behind her and impulsively took out her gun, ready to shoot.
But, the criminal was one step ahead of her. He stood behind her, holding a gun to her back. She closed her eyes upon realizing that she had no way of getting out of this. The guy moved closer and started whispering , "Have a last wish Sharma?" Angry tears ran down her cheeks as she thought about Angad. I should have never confessed my feelings to him. I knew this might happen, would happen. I am so selfish. So dam* selfish.
She took a deep breath and finally was able to spit out some words, "Can I have a pen and paper?" The guy didn't respond for a few minutes. When he did, he shuffled through his jacket looking for something. Taking this opportunity, she quickly turned around and kicked him, not giving him enough time to respond. With one swift kick, the gun was thrown off, and another kick sent him flying to the ground holding his crotch.
She quickly picked up her gun from where she had dropped it and ran away from there, rapidly dialing numbers on her cell phone. Eventually she got tired and began to pass out. Next thing she heard was a gun shot and running footsteps. The last thing she felt was an oozing in her leg and the last thing she saw was darkness.
Two hours Later
Kripa opened her eyes just to find herself wearing a hospital gown, and laying on a hospital bed. It was by now, very late at night. She saw the cast around her leg. Just by looking at her face anyone could tell she had lost a lot of blood. She slowly turned to her right to see Angad sleeping on a sofa, snoring lightly. She held her tears back, and slowly got out of bed.
She saw a bag with her clothes in it, sitting next to her purse. Picking it up, she sneakily left the room, heading for a bathroom. She quickly changed her clothes in an empty stall. The bathroom was empty, because visiting hours were over and the patients were asleep.
Ten minutes later, Kripa came out of the bathroom, dressed in army cargoes and a black shirt with light makeup on, feeling a bit better. She went back to her hospital room and thankfully sighed when she saw Angad still sleeping. Finding a hair tie, she quickly pulled her hair into a ponytail and then quickly looked around for a gun. She groaned as she realized it could only be in three places. Either with the cops, with the hooded figure, or, she thought in horror, with Angad.
The latter seemed like a huge possibility, so she slowly approached Angad, looking all around him. She finally found the gun, but what shocked her was that when she removed it, her eyes caught another gun. She paused for a minute, and then quickly turned away. There wasn't enough time. She peaked out of the window to see how low it was, and thankfully, she was only on the first floor. She picked up her purse, carefully placing the gun inside, and sat down on a nearby couch.
Taking out a pen and paper, she quickly began writing away. When she was done, she gave Angad a brief glanced, pressing her eyes to hold back the tears. Her watch said it was midnight. She folded the paper and put it right next to where Angad was laying, a place his sharp eyes would notice. Giving Angad a quick peck on the lips, she quietly sneaked out through the window, running out of sight, into the darkness.
