Hi friends!! since I wont be able to post tommorrow I'm posting it today itself .

Part 11:

Kripa got out of her memories when she got a call from Gajendra Saxena, Dilip's counterpart in India. Kripa came to his youngest daughter, Reena's wedding. He felt bad for her staying in hotel and forced her to stay with them. But she convinced him after agreeing for having dinner with them. Kripa hung the phone and gone to bath room to get ready. Her mind was filled with memories. She physically roaming around but her mind was not peaceful. She reached Saxena's house. The whole house was decorated with colorful lights and flowers. It's a big house with large pillars with a big ground in front of the house. Loads of servants were working in preparations of wedding. Saxena family was one of the richest families in Kanpur.

Atleast 15 people received Kripa at entrance. Gajendra introduced his wife Suman, daughters, Gouri, Reena, sons -Sohan, Samay and daughters-in-law Roopa, Komal. Reena was the bride and Gouri's husband yet to come for marriage from Mumbai. Gouri and her husband were doctors in Mumbai. Sohan and Samay helped his father in his business. They were planning to visit NY after the marriage. Kripa warmly invited them to her house in NY. Reena did her engineering and the bridegroom was a business man. She might settle in Delhi as her in-laws lived in the city. They all gave good hospitality to Kripa. Suman showed all the bridal jewelry.

After dinner all the guests started singing since the marriage was on the following night. They forcefully stopped Kripa from going back to hotel. Kripa enjoyed with them though Angad disturbed her in memories in between.

Early morning Gouri's husband came and all Saxena family heartily received him and brought him inside. Kripa was surprised to notice him as Nishant.
Nishant hugged her and enquired about her stay in India. He apologized for not being with her since he was busy with his emergencies. Kripa told she's doing fine and all her friends entertained her enough. Nishant introduced Gouri as her bhabi and everyone was happy to know Kripa and Nishant grown up their childhood together.

The wedding time approached and everyone got busy themselves with all customs in the ceremony. Kripa was tired and wanted to go back to the hotel after wedding. Nishant stopped her and promised to drop her next morning.

Next day while all other family members were busy with post marriage rituals Nishant took her for the site seeing. Kripa asked for the place where she lived 10years ago but couldn't recognize the places. Nishant and Kripa talked about their childhood memories through out their drive. He took her all the places, Dhruv Teela, Valmiki Ashram.

Valmiki Ashram was closely associated with the Indian epic Ramayana. Located on a hillock, it is believed to be the place where Sita stayed during her exile and where her sons - Luv and Kush - were born. A stairway to heavens if ascended, offers a panoramic view of the city and its surroundings.
Dhruv Teela is believed to be the spot where, according to Hindu mythology, the child Dhruva meditated standing on one leg. Pleased by his devotion, god granted him a boon-to-shine as a star for eternity.

 
Nishant explained as a tour guide about all the sites.

 
Kripa physically listened but her mind was busy with Angad's thoughts.
They came home for lunch. After lunch they planned for next day's program. Suddenly Kripa felt uneasiness in stomach and asked Nishant to drop her at hotel room. Nishant asked if she was okay and Kripa told just she wanted to take some rest and promised to meet him next day.

Kripa took pain-killer and tried to go to bed. Past memories surrounded her again.

Flashback:

Angad and Kripa couldn't go on date till the celebrations were over for some reasons. Angad had to spend his time with his dadi at her business and Kripa with her family functions. The celebrations were over and everyone got recognition for their skills and performances. After that Angad couldn't go to school since the celebrations were over. He couldn't get any chance to go out either with Kripa since the exams had been approached. .Three months passed fast with preparations for exams.

 
It was April, 1996. All students were busy in attending exams. Kripa was also seriously attending the exams since she had no option. Misthy, Prithvi and all others were studious as were busy with exams.

It's last exam for the year. Everyone excited to finish the exams and planned for summer vacation and parties. Kripa finished her last exam and walked in the corridor to check if any of her friends came out of the rooms. Suddenly a hand pulled her side and Kripa screamed to look back. It's Angad.

"Prince! Tum yahan? Kya karr rahe ho? Your exams over? I finished just now? How did you do them? I did okay. Pass ho jaaoongi." Kripa started blasting questionnaire.

Angad smiled and squeezed her nose "khatam hua? Aur kuch baaki hai poochneki?"

Kripa nodded her head "no,' added laughing and rolled her eyes, "Tum aoge mere saath sabse milne? We are having party at Misthy's house tonight". Kripa excitedly started walking without waiting for him.

He pulled her back and asked "do you have some time to spend with me this evening?"

Kripa replied 'no' with blush as remembered their past closeness. Angad understood, pulled close to him and kissed on forehead.

He requested to spend time once before going on summer vacation thinking they might not get a chance to meet anymore. Kripa agreed at last and told she will meet him at Juhu beech the following evening.

Angad took promise from her and left without meeting anyone else.

Kripa spent the whole evening with her friends at Misthy's house and went home.

The next evening Kripa came to Juhu to meet Angad as per promise. She looked stunning with pista green gown till knees length with dress shoes. She tied her hair like pony, had lil studs to ears and thin chain around neck. Angad in red shirt and jeans was already waiting for her on his bike near beech and approached her as soon as he saw her. Kripa sat on his bike and they headed to Goa road.

Kripa asked "Prince! Are you taking me to Goa?"

Angad asked "if yes do you have a problem?"

Kripa laughed and nodded her head "yes". Angad playfully banged on her head.

She started tickling him from behind and Angad's bike was doing feats.

Angad took her to a place after 2 hrs drive. Kripa's hair was all tangled with wind and she tried to untangle it. Angad took her into the house.

She asked, "Prince! Where are we? Whose house is this? It's so beautiful"

"ThanQ. It's our farm house. I often come here to spend some time", Angad answered.

He took her inside the house and gave some coffee and took her out to show the farm. It's for name sake a farm house but they don't have any farms around there. There were some floral trees, bushes spread in 15 acres of land and the house with at least 10 rooms in two floors. His father built for them but he never enjoyed it as died in an accident along with his mom. He was brought up by his dadi. Kripa felt sorry and consoled him.

Angad prepared dinner for her. They finished the dinner along with nonalcoholic drinks. After dinner Angad took her to upstairs lounge.

While the past memories surrounded Kripa slowly fell asleep when the pain-killer showed affect on her.

Kripa got up at 10 in the morning when Nishant came to take her home. Kripa was still having the nagging pain. Kripa wanted to go back to Mumbai but Nishant forced her to stay since she was not totally recovered from yesterday's stomach pain. He also informed that Gouri wanted to spend some time with her.

Kripa agreed and got ready in 10 minutes. They went to Saxena house and everyone enquired about Kripa's health. Gouri asked if she needed any check-up. Kripa said she was fine. They had lunch together. Gouri, Nishant, Kripa went to Brahmavat Ghat, Pathar Ghat.

Brahmavat Ghat is a shrine situated on banks of the Ganges. The Devotes offer prayers at an altar where wooden slippers, are kept.
Pathar Ghat is situated on the banks of Ganges, is a bathing place built of red stone by the minster of Avadh,Tikait Rai. The structure is marvel of Indian architecture. A huge temple devoted to Lord Shiva is also situated here.

Gouri took Kripa to medical college where she did her medicine. Gouri and Nishant did house surgeon in Mumbai together. And they fell in love there and their families accepted their love.

Kripa admired their love and thought in her mind about her and Angad together. Nishant's love and affection on Gouri reminded Kripa those days where Angad showed his love on Kripa. Kripa couldn't recognize it then. Kripa repented now for her innocence.

Nishant asked Kripa in the night after their tour to stay back for 2 more days since he would be there. Kripa agreed and took leave. They all planned to visit the next day nearby place Bithoor along with the new couple.
