Chapter 24
My Biggest Fear is losing you,
If only I could make you mine
Without the world around us!
December 25, 10 P.M.
In the aftermath of their passionate interlude, Angad lay in Kripa's arms, both breathing unsteadily, listening to each other's thundering heartbeats! His face nuzzled her neck, hidden in her silky hair, his arm around her bare stomach…. Kripa's eyes were closed in replete slumber! Suddenly she opened her eyes, which fell on the old wall-clock facing the bed…..
She pushed Angad away from her neck and sprang up, clutching the bedcover to her bareness! It was 10:15 P.M.
ANGADD, She yelled…..Dus baj gaye!! Hey Bhagwaan! Wo sab mujhey dhoond rahey hongey….ANGAD, Utho jaldi se!
Angad rolled over langurously: Kripa, itna tension mat lo, sab theek ho jayega…
Kripa: Kya theek hoga?? Ab main kaisey wahan wapas jaaoongi? Kya kahoongi? She wailed.
Angad crossed his hands behind his head, looking at her panic in amusement: Sweetheart, issey pehley kya tum kabhi pakdi gayi jo aaj pakdi jaaogi? Koi excuse bana dena…meri company mein rehkar kuchh toh seekha hoga tumney" he laughed!
Kripa: Haan haan, tumharey liye kehna aasan hai….Mr. Bluffmaster! Lekin meri toh jaan nikli jaa rahi hai. Kya boloongi unsey? Mishti ya Mama ko shaq hua toh?
Angad pulled her towards him: Toh bol dena ke Angad tumhey chand-taarey dikha raha tha…..he laughed wickedly
Kripa hit him hard and tried to get up from the bed…..he caught her arm and pulled her back on his chest….singing the old song: Abhi na jaao chhodkar ke dil abhi bhara nahin….
Kripa giggled and pinched his cheeks: Tumhara dil kabhi bhara hai ya bharega? She asked naughtily and twisted out of his grip…..she got up gingerly, wrapping the bedcover around her….leaving Angad bare and cold!
Angad complained: Kripaaa, tum cover kyun le gayi?
Kripa looked at him and laughed: Ab toh tumhey bhi uthna padega, Mister, nahin toh kaun mujhey wapas le jaayega? Fort mein se Vasco-da-Gama ka bhoot?
Angad got up grumbling and put on his clothes. Kripa put on her blouse and petticoat….she picked up her sari from the living-room floor and started wailing again: Oh NOOO, ab main yeh sari kaisey pehnoon? Mujhey toh sari pehenna nahin aata…
Angad chuckled : Toh aaj kisney tumhey sari pehnaya?
Kripa : Mishti ne pehna dee….ab kya hoga? She desperately started wrapping the sari in the opposite direction around her waist!
Angad laughed indulgently, then came to her rescue: Thehro…. main pehna deta hoon!
Kripa looked at him with suspicion: Tumhey sari pehnana aata hai?
Angad: I am an expert in everything….yeh tumney aaj bhi nahin jaana?
Kripa: Nahin sach sach bataao, tumney sari put on karna kahan se seekha?
Angad (wickedly teasing) : Wo mere kuchh girlfriends the, unsey seekha….
Kripa's eyes got wet, she moved away from his hands and said: Rehney do, main khud manage kar loongi"
Angad laughed heartily: Pagli, main toh mazaak kar raha tha….sach boloon kisiko bataaogi toh nahin?
Kripa: God Promise!
Angad: Jab main 4th standard mein tha toh school ke play mein mujhey aurat ka role karna pada tha….tab Mom ne mujhey sikhaya tha kaisey sari pehentey hain….wo mujhey aaj tak yaad hai !
Now it was Kripa's turn to laugh….she laughed hysterically imagining Angad in a sari!
Angad looked angrily at her: Why are u laughing? I was only 9 years old….(proudly) and for your information, I looked good in that sari!
Kripa laughed even more, clutching her stomach: Oh Angad, tum mujhey maar dalogey hansa hansakey!
Angad hugged her waist, whispering into her ears: Jab Marna hi hai toh dono hanstey huey hi marengey, wot do u say?
Kripa blushed at his tone and sobered up: Chalo, late ho rahi hai, mujhey sari pehna do!
Angad wrapped the sari around her waist in the correct way, then stood behind her making the pleats with great concentration, occasionally kissing her neck and cheeks in the process.
Kripa enjoyed his nearness and the intimacy of being dressed by him! She rubbed her cheek against his affectionately as he pleated her sari….then he took her aanchal (pallu) and put it in place and pinned it with the pins as best as he could!
Kripa was thrilled….she reached up, kissed his cheek and said: Tum sachmuch genius ho….har kaam mein expert!
Angad chuckled: Sab aap ki hi kripa se!
They practically ran back to the Clubhouse ….Angad kissed her goodnight and Kripa casually sauntered in through the front door as if nothing had happened!
Mishti and Kartik were standing in the foyer, looking around worriedly, asking people if they had seen Kripa….Naina was talking to the Manager of the clubhouse in a worried tone…..Kripa's heart started beating fast in nervous tension!
As soon as she entered, all three sprang upon her….Kahan thi tum, Kripa? Hum kabsey tumhey dhoond rahey hain?
Kripa : Mama, Dii... I am sorry! Main pehley bathroom gayi thi….phir Hall ke andar ghutan si mehsoos ho rahi thi, isliye baahar thoda tehelney chali gayi.....
Naina (angrily): Itni raat ko tum baahar akeli tahal rahi thi?
Kripa: Mama, yeh resort ke andar hi toh hai, aur main wall ke paas hi thi, samundar dekh rahi thi, moonlight mein kitna achha lagta hai na…..
Naina didn't find that very odd….she knew that her baby girl was a nature-lover and would spend hours watching sunsets, sunrises and moonlight over water….she was artistic and contemplative by nature!
But Mishti wasn't convinced….she looked at Kripa suspiciously! Kripa saw that and started praying for deliverance from Mishti's future grilling-….she knew Dii wouldn't question her in front of Mama.
Back at the Suites, Mishti caught Kripa as she was trying to hurry into her bedroom: Kripa, idhar aa, sach sach bata kahan thi tu?
Kripa: Dii, mainey bataya toh main kahan thi….
Mishti: Meri taraf dekh ( she made her look up) and asked her directly: Kya tu Angad ke saath thi?
Kripa looked down….she couldn't lie to her Dii anymore: Haan (she said softly)
Mishti: Kahan they tum dono? (her tone serious)
Kripa: Wall ke paas…..baithey huey the…
Mishti's sharp eyes had noted Kripa's kiss-swollen lips, her dishevelled appearance and most suspicious of all, the way her sari was wound up, different from the way she had done it in the evening!
Mishti: Tum dono wahan kya kar rahey they? …
Kripa: Wo Dii,….she looked away, blushing…..wall ke paas hi to they…
Mishti thought what more could they do in the open air except kiss and cuddle a little….but the sari thing still bothered her….she shook her head and let Kripa go to bed : Goodnight Kripa, kal subah baat karengey.
Kripa ran into her bedroom in relief: Thank God! Mishti doesn't know about our little Love-nest….she would never suspect what she and Angad were really up to!
That night, Kripa dreamed that she was in a sailboat with Angad sailing away to the moon and stars!
