Chapter 29
Rimjhim rimjhim
Rumjhum rumjhum
Bheegi bheegi rut mein
Tum hum hum tum
Jaltey hain, jaltey hain!
As the sun dipped low beneath the horizon, they still sat there arm in arm, her head on his shoulder, both just content to be there! Kripa felt a deeper peace than she had ever felt before! But Angad was quietly disturbed…..perhaps some of Kripa's fears and anxieties had rubbed off on him. Angad had had a few hard knocks in life but he still believed in making his own destiny….but now he wasn't that sure….did Kripa really see what she thought she did? Did this portend storms ahead or smooth sailing for their love?
With dusk it became cooler….Kripa shivered a little….she was only wearing a sleeveless salwar kurta and even Angad didn't have his jacket today. He said: Chalo Kripa, ab chaltey hain….
Kripa suddenly snapped out of her hypnotic trance : Ohhh Angad…bahut der ho gayi! 6 baj gaye hongey!
In winter the sun set at 5 P.M. so they still had plenty of time and Angad reassured her that they will reach the resort on time. But they had hardly driven ten minutes than dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky and it started raining heavily. It was a torrential downpour, as if the skies had opened up all of a sudden with thunder and lightning tearing the sky apart! It was a sample of winter monsoons in the Western Ghats this time of the year.
Angad's bike was no good….it was open and he couldn't see a thing on the road, within minutes they were drenched to the bone! There was no locality nearby ……he stopped at a small shack abandoned by its owners….probably a small roadside restaurant once. They ran in, Angad holding her close to him! Inside it was dark and damp, lit only by the sudden flashes of lightning! He took out a small pocket torch and looked around….there was a little covered verandah behind the shack, overlooking the Mandvi river! They went and stood outside in the verandah……at least there was light from the sky!
Kripa started to squeeze out water from her soaking wet hair and clothes, wringing it out as best as she could. Angad opened his wet shirt, wringing it out, then shaking it vigorously. He looked at her….in that dim light he could still see her…….. her wet clothes stuck to her body like second skin, she was hugging herself, shivering with cold.
He moved close to her and put his arms around her, enveloping her in a warm embrace! Kripa hugged him tightly, nuzzling her face in his bare chest, breathing in his musky scent! He felt the heat return to her chilled, wet body…..he raised her face to his and took her lips in a long, deep kiss. She raised up on her tiptoes and kissed him back, her arms around his neck! Soon they were both oblivious to the torrential rain outside…to the thunder, the lightning…..their thundering heartbeats drowned out the thunder!
She kissed his damp chest, caressing the hard muscles of his taut stomach….his hands fondled and caressed her wet curves, as his tongue probed her sweet mouth……..then he lifted her up in the air, she wrapped her legs around his waist and he walked carrying her into the dimly-lit shack!
Bheegi bheegi raaton mein
http://www.raaga.com/channels/hindi/artist/Leslie_Lewis.html (Remix of the song---Aaah I finally got to use this song on my FF )
Kishore: Bheegi bheegi raaton mein, meeti meeti baaton mein
Aise barsaaton mein kaisa lagtaa hai?
Lata: Aisa lagtaa hai tum banke baadal,
mere badan ko bhigoke mujhe chhed rahe ho ho o
chhed rahe ho (2)
Lat: Ambar Khele holi ui ma
Bheegi mori choli hamjoli hamjoli (2)
O paani ke is rele mein saavan ke is mele mein
chhat pe akele mein
kaisa lagtaa hai
Kishore: Aisa lagtaa hai tum banke ghata
Apne sajan ko bhigoke khel khel rahi ho o
Khel rahi ho
Lata : Aisa lagtaa hai
Tum banke baadal mere badan ko bhigoke mujeh chhed rahe ho chedd rahe ho
Kishore: Barakha se bachhalun tujeh
Seene se lagaa loon
Aa chhupaalun aa chhupaalun (2)
Dil ne pukara dekho rut ka ishaara dekho
Uf ye nazara dekho
Kaisa lagtaa hai, bolo?
Lata: Aisa lagtaa hai kuchh ho jayega
Mast pavan ke ye jhoke saiyaan dekh rahe ho o
Dekh rahe ho
Aisa lagtaa hai
Tum banke baadal mere badan ko bhigoke mujeh chhed rahe ho o
Chhed rahe ho o
An hour later the rains stopped and they emerged from the shack, still flushed from their wildest interlude ever!!
Kripa called Mishti on the mobile and told her that they had been stuck in the rains…..she lied to Mishti that she and Angad had found shelter in a restaurant…………well, partial lie at least!
Mishti said that Naina and Dilip were very worried about Kripa because of the bad weather and she had told them that Kripa was shopping with her friends Aaliyah and Anitah. Kripa thanked Mishti for covering up for her. She told her that they will be home in half an hour. There was still a light drizzle alongwith fog …… Angad had to drive his bike carefully and slowly so they reached the resort finally at 8 P.M.
Naina and Dilip were at the girls' suite waiting for Kripa to arrive safely…..they scolded her for being out in that rain as they saw she was totally wet! Kripa was already sneezing nineteen to the dozen….they gave her brandy-milk and hot soup for her cold and sent her to bed!
December 28
The next morning, kripa had a temperature….getting soaked in the rain plus the bike ride had given her a cold but it wasn't that severe! But still she had to cancel dance class!
Angad heard about her illness and came to see her at the Suites….Naina was there looking after Kripa and she wasn't very surprised to see Angad…..her mother's instincts had told her that Kripa and Angad liked each other a lot! But she wasn't ready to accept him with open arms!
Angad said : Hello Auntie…..Kripa ab kaisi hai?
Meanwhile, Kripa was already feeling better having heard his voice and footsteps! She sat up in bed, so demure and pretty in a pink nightgown!
Before Naina could stop Angad from coming in, she called out to him: Main yahan hoon, Angad!
He went in and saw his princess sitting in bed in a pink confectionary…….he laughed softly and quickly said in a low tone : Now you are really looking like a Baby! I will be jailed for cradle-snatching!
Kripa jumped up and hit him with a pillow! He said : Baad mein iska badla loonga!
When Naina came in they both resumed an innocent expression but their eyes talked to each other in their own secret codes!
By evening, Kripa was all hale and hearty again and insisted on going to Morisco to see Angad perform there. But this evening, she couldn't stop Prithvi from coming along too! Her parents had told him in advance……but Kripa decided to grin and bear it….at least Angad would be there to save her from that moron!
Angad saw Prithvi with Kripa, Mishti and Kartik…..he couldn't help feeling a little pang of anxiety….
His fears made him sing this song:
Haan judaai se darta hai dil (original KYPH song)
Haan judaai se darta hai dil
Haan judaai se darta hai dil
Maut se to main darta nahin
Aur darta to sun le sanam
Sun le sanam
Pyaar tujh se main karta nahin
Pyaar tujh se main karta nahin
Haan judaai se darta hai dil
Haan judaai se darta hai dil
Main akela na reh paoonga
Door tak raat hi raat hai
Zindagi ek alag cheez hai
Zinda rehna alag baat hai
Umr kaise guzar paayegi
Umr kaise guzar paayegi
Ek pal jab guzarta nahin
Aur darta to sun le sanam Sun le sanam
Pyaar tujh se main karta nahin
Pyaar tujh se main karta nahin
Haan judaai se darta hai dil
Haan judaai se darta hai dil
Immediately after his performance, the stage manager (in a green suit tonight) came huffing and puffing onstage and announced pompously:
Ladies and Gentlemen, may we have ur attention please! To celebrate the first day of the New Year, we have organized a dance competiton open to all our guests, whether young or old, boy or girl….all are free to participate in and enjoy this great contest! For rules and regulations and for entering ur name in this contest, please see me or Mr. Ahuja after dinner! It will be held on January 1 of the new year and the venue will be this very place….Morisco's! Other diners and other gueste have all been informed…..please join in, one and all!
Angad went to the manager and whispered Kripa's name in his ears…..the manager beamed happily: Just now we got the name of our first participant, Ms. Kripa Sharma…..please put ur hands together for Kripa …..everybody clapped, a few young people eagerly went onstage to enter their names on the spot too!
Kripa was horrified….she said: Oh Noo Angad….yeh tumney kya kiya?
Prithvi looked calculatingly at her and at Angad and back again: Achha toh yeh baat hai, yeh ladki uss singer ke saath chakkar chala rahi hai aur mujhey cold shoulder de rahi hai……he smirked!
After the program, Kripa ran to meet Angad: Yeh tumney kya kiya, Angad? Mera naam kyun enter kiya….I am just a novice in dancing….main kaisey itney logon ke saamney naachungi? She started almost hyperventilating!
Angad had her cure…… he kissed her hard on her lips till she was calmer and more pliant…..then he said: RELAX KRIPA! JUST CHILL! Don't worry, main hoon, Simone hai, hum tumhey ekdum ready kar dengey….…..hamein tumhari kabiliyat per poora yakeen hai….we know you can do it, you have the talent, you just have to get over your fears of the public, that's all! Aur phir tum akeli kahan hogi, main rahoonga na…… tumhara one and only dance partner ( he said huskily)
Kripa felt a little reassured hearing that! Angad whispered: Tumhari tabiyat kaisi hai?
Kripa blushed and said: Main bilkul theek hoon…….raat ko tum aaogey na?
Angad: Koi shaq, Rapunzel?
That night as she lay in his arms, her hand on his chest., her eyes suddenly fell on her ring given by him! For some reason, she suddenly remembered the plump, bejewelled fingers of Mrs. Luthra….she felt like laughing at that woman! She said : Angad, ek baat kahoon….
Angad dreamily said: Haan, Baby, kaho…..
Kripa: Jab hamari shadi ho jaaye ….
Angad (happily) ---haan
Kripa: Aur shadi ke baad bahut saal guzar jaaye…
Angad: Sure thing…..
Kripa: Toh tum kabhie mere birthdays per mujhey BMW ya Mercedes nahin dena…
Angad thought for moment what she said, then he laughed huskily……he turned over, leaning totally on her :
Nahin, sweetheart, kabhie nahin doonga…..main vaada karta hoon, shadi ke bahut saal baad main tumharey birthdays per kabhie BMW ya Mercedes nahin doonga, sirf yeh doonga ( he kissed her lips) aur yeh doonga (he kissed her neck) aur yeh ( her bare shoulder) aur yeh ( he kissed her soft swells ) and his lips travelled lower and lower, showing her all the lovely gifts he would give to her on her future birthdays! Kripa moaned softly in pleasure enjoying all her future birthday gifts in advance!
