Chapter 6
KILLING ME SOFTLY WITH HIS SONG./HE SANG HIS WAY/ INTO MY HEART
Kripa returned to her room, shut the door and leaned against it, closing her eyes, breathing deeply as if she had run miles! Her pulse was racing and her heart thudding in her chest! She could still feel his warm breath on her neck, whispering and blowing the soft tendrils of hair, making her neck tingle with strange sensations!
Her knees still trembled from the feeling of his strong arms holding beneath them as he lifted her in his arms, her arm still warm from his other hand around her back. She touched her heated cheeks and thought:
Why does he make me feel this way? Is it because hes the first man to touch me, to approach me so boldly?
Or is it something more? ......
Kripa dressed with special care that evening. She wore a dark blue knee-length dress with shoulder straps and little sequins on the front and small crystal earrings and a thin necklace. She applied pink lip gloss and a little blue eye-shadow for the first time!
Mishti wore a silver top with grey satin pants and silver jewelry. She was pleased to see Kripa dress up so nicely without being urged……… She gave a secret smile to herself!
Naina and Dilip wore formal dresses as well. They told the girls that they would be dining with the Mehras that evening at the Italian restaurant but the girls preferred to go to Morisco as they wanted to see Angad perform.
Morisco:
The place was even more crowded today as more guests had started arriving for Christmas vacations. Over the next few days, the guests would steadily increase till Christmas day to New Year the resort would be almost 80 percent booked!
After dinner, the lights dimmed again and just as the night before, Angad made a dramatic appearance after a warmup session by the Goa Boyz! He stood in the circle of light, legs parted, guitar in hand and started playing.
Kripa's heart raced in excitement and anticipation of his every movement!
Angad slowly turned, playing the guitar and started singing:

Dil jigar nazar kya hai main toh tere liye jaan bhi de doon
Oh mere jaanejaan tu hai mera jahaan main to tere liye jaan bhi de doon….
He saw Kripa sitting with Mishti at the same table and approached them singing as usual:
Mainey tujhko chaha ismey meri khata kya
Dil ne tujhko apna mana iski sazaa kya
Oh mere humkadam chalengey saath hum
Main to tere liye jaan bhi de doon…..
Dil jigar nazar kya hai main toh tere liye jaan bhi de doon
Oh mere jaanejaan tu hai mera jahaan main to tere liye jaan bhi de doon….
Sun le masti mein doobey mere taraaney
Dil hai tera deewana, lekin tu yeh na jaaney
Ae mere humnasheen kar lo mera yakeen
Main to tere liye jaan bhi de doon….
Dil jigar nazar kya hai main toh tere liye jaan bhi de doon
Oh mere jaanejaan tu hai mera jahaan main to tere liye jaan bhi de doon….
Dil mein lakhon armaan aankhon mein hain sapney
Tum ho ajnabee per lagtey ho mujhko apney
Tu hai meri khushi, tu meri zindagi
Main to tere liye jaan bhi de doon……
Dil jigar nazar kya hai main toh tere liye jaan bhi de doon
Oh mere jaanejaan tu hai mera jahaan main to tere liye jaan bhi de doon….
Kripa blushed throughout the song, understanding what he was saying to her with his song! Somehow tonight she didn't mind being serenaded in public by this jaadugar! He must have done some jaadu on her, she thought, that she was actually enjoying his attention towards her! She smiled and clapped in delight when the song ended!
Angad started the next song: a popular Goan hit : Huiya Hu and the other guys joined him as well, rocking the place with their fast beats and foot-tapping music!
After that he sang a number originally by Bombay Vikings: Angel Eyes (again looking at Kripa and serenading her with his song)

Angel eyes, angel eyes
Inkaar mein bhi koi ikraar ka pehlu ho
Jaanam teri baaton mein ek pyaar ki khushboo ho, oh yeah
Baitha hoon kayi armaan liye
I'm still waitin for you night and day
Baby cast all your fears away
Everything's gonna be okay
Angel eyes, mere khwaabon mein tu
Dekhoon jidhar chhaayi hai tu harsu
Angel eyes, tera hai intezaar
Tu hi to hai mere dil ka qaraar
Aise gale mile, hum ek hi ho jaaye
Dekhe na koi hamein, ek duje mein kho jaaye, oh yeah
Haathon mein dil apna liye
I'm still waitin just to hear you say
That you want me like I want you
Bring me love that's sent from you
Angel eyes, mere khwaabon mein tu
Dekhoon jidhar chhaayi hai tu harsu
Angel eyes, tera hai intezaar
Tu hi to hai mere dil ka qaraar
Haathon mein dil apna liye
I'm still waitin just to hear you say
That you want me like I want you
Bring me love that's sent from you
Angel eyes, mere khwaabon mein tu
Dekhoon jidhar chhaayi hai tu harsu
Angel eyes, tera hai intezaar
Tu hi to hai mere dil ka qaraar, ho
Angel eyes, mere khwaabon mein tu
Dekhoon jidhar chhaayi hai tu harsu
Kripa smiled at him sweetly as he sang close to their table, Angad saw her smile and put a hand on his heart as if struck by an arrow and winked! Kripa laughed at him flirting…….Mishti was silently observing their interaction and secretly smiling to herself!
Angad sang a few more songs and then the performance ended for the night amidst loud applause!
When Mishti and Kripa went out into the lobby looking for Angad, they saw him talking to a middle-aged woman in the hallway behind the tree.
The woman was heavily jewelled and wearing a garish pink zardozi that didn't suit her coloring at all. Her plump fingers were on Angad's chest and arms, seemingly urging him to do something as he tried to back off from her. Her fingers were covered with sparkling rings of all sizes!
Suddenly Angad spotted Mishti and Kripa, he grinned with relief and somehow escaped from that over-attentive lady!
He reached the girls and turned around with his back to that woman, muttering under his breath :Please help me escape that ….that woman, ladies! I will be grateful to u forever!
Mishti sized the situation at once and said loudly: Angad, chalo na hamarey saath…. club chaltey hain dance ke liye"
Angad (loudly) : Haan chalo, lets go! He grabbed both their elbows and rushed out of the building, walking some distance on the pathway before he finally let them go and breathed a loud sigh of relief!
Angad: Baal-baal bach gaya, aaj to woh aurat meri chutney bana daalti!
Mishti: Kaun hai woh?
Angad: Mrs. Luthra……. Hamesha mere peechhey padi rehti hai (with irritation)
Mishti laughed in amusement and said: Pehli baar kisi mard ko itna dartey huey dekha..
Angad: Uska chehra dekha, daravni thi na? Uspar woh jewelry aur sari, kauva chali hans ki chaal ……..
Both Mishti and Angad laughed hysterically at that but Kripa was a little taken aback at what was going on, she didn't quite understand why he wanted to escape from that Mrs. Luthra!
Suddenly Mishti said: Oh God! Main toh apna purse dining-room mein hi chhod aayi…..tum dono yahin per wait karo, main abhi purse lekar aati hoon….Baby, don't go anywhere!
She ran back to the restaurant down the garden-path!
Angad turned to Kripa and teasingly drawled: So Baabyyy…
Kripa turned angrily on him: Don't call me that….I am NOT a baby!
His bold eyes naughtily looked her up and down, glancing over her delicate curves,
"Haan woh to zaahir hai ke tum ab baby nahin ho…..
Kripa blushed hotly and turned to leave in anger. Angad grabbed her elbow hard, his fingers digging into her soft skin…..Kripa trembled and turned to yell at him but he smiled at her gently and held his ear with one hand, silently mouthing "Sorry"
Kripa relaxed and stayed instead of leaving! He still held her elbow but now his hold was gentler and one finger lazily caressed the skin inside her arm! Kripa shivered and tried to pull her hand away from his arousing touch! He held it still in a firm and strong grip, his finger feeling her pulse inside her arm, a pulse that was racing at 80 miles per hour! The garden path was deserted, it was dark with only some Chinese lanterns and moonbeams lighting up the dark walkways! She and Angad were the only people there!
Suddenly her heart started beating faster as she realized she was alone there with Angad! She looked at him in the semi-darkness and saw he was gazing at her intently. She was slightly scared now and breathed faster in her agitation. He bent near her face and said in a low, deep voice: Kripa, you are looking stunning tonight! Kripa shivered and tried to turn away from him!
His hand snaked up to her face and held her chin, turning her towards him……Why are you so afraid of me? I wont ever hurt you, u know, not for the world"
Kripa couldn't answer but just looked at him wide-eyed and fearful of his next action.
Angad leaned over her and brought his face very close to hers, his eyes gazed deeply into her eyes in the gloom.
He said "Kripa main tumhey kabhi hurt nahin karoonga, mujh par bharosa rakho!
Kripa's lips trembled as she tried to say something but couldn't as she became tongue-tied at his nearness, his hot breath on her face and his lips just inches away from hers!
Her lips parted in a slight gasp as his other hand went around her slim waist and brought her body closer to his……she became breathless with anticipation of what she didn't know….Angad gazed longingly at her moist pink lips …..he couldn't help himself, as his lips lightly brushed hers once, twice and then he let her go suddenly, turning away and breathing deeply to control his passion! Before he lost his head and really scared her, he stopped going further!
Angad: I am sorry, Kripa! I ….I didn't mean to ….blame it on the moonlight and dark night (he laughed mockingly)
Kripa remained quiet and trembled, shocked at what had just happened, her lips still tingling from the light strokes of his firm lips!
