Part: 12

Kripa got wake-up call from Nishant at 6 to remind her about their visit to Bithoor. Kripa got ready in blue Bengali Tassar tissue Punjabi suit with red border by the time Nishant came to pick her up.

All saxena family already waited outside the hotel for Kripa. They all started going Bithoor.

It is 22kms away, on Kannauji Road, on banks of Ganges. It is a tranquil spot, suffused with historical and religious significance.
Bithoor also is a place where historical such as Rani laxmi Bai and Nana Saheb Peshwa, who played key role in the country's freedom's struggle, spend their childhood
According to Hindu mythology, Bithoor's was chosen by lord braham, the Creator, as his abode after the destruction of the Universe. It was also here that the great saint Valmiki meditated and wrote the Ramayana . Also, it was here that the legendary child, Dhruva, meditated and received the blessing of Gods.

Gouri explained about the significance of the place during the travel. Gouri explained about their plan to take boat rides in the lakes there. Kripa was excited to see the place.

All reached there and started exploring the site. They had lunch and went for boat ride.
Reena and her husband took a separate boat while others went in one boat. All other couples took another boat. Mr and Mrs Saxena and Kripa were in one boat.

The new couple's love reminded Kripa's date with Angad. Kripa got a big smile on her face. She remembered how much Angad used to be crazy about her. In no time they became so much close to each other. That time she never gave any importance to that craziness. She took things with ease. She thought it was just an infatuation. "Khaash main us pal ko seriously liya hotha tho things would be so different" Kripa repented a moment.

Nishant and Gouri were in their own world enjoying boat ride. Kripa smiled at them and started looking the surroundings.

They all reached home late night. Kripa stayed with them that night since it became late.

Kripa missed Angad and wanted to call him but stopped as he might have gone to bed. Kripa was not getting any sleep and tossed on the bed trying to get sleep. She remembered the day when she left Mumbai for Kanpur. The day made of their last date. The day she saw Angad last. The day which made them separate for 10years.

 
Flashback:

Angad took Kripa to his farm house for a date, the day their summer vacation started. He prepared dinner for both and took upstairs lounge after finishing dinner.

At lounge………
There were plenty of flower pots, creepers, and rose bushes all along the parapet wall. There was wicker furniture along with a big Rajasthani swing in the middle of the lounge facing the whole yard. Angad took her to the swing. Kripa admired the atmosphere and started humming. Angad sang a song for her. She liked it and kissed him on his cheek.

Angad held Kripa caressing her hair," Kripa! I want to spend the night with you. Abb summer vacation shuru huva hai. Will you be able to meet me like this? Abhi do mahiney hogaye tumse milkar. Aage kya hoga? You don't allow me to come to your house and I can't take you home since dadi will be there. She won't entertain these things too. We can meet here quite often, tum milogi na. I miss you".

He wanted to spend the night with Kripa since they might not meet till the schools reopen. Angad couldn't explain clearly that he loved her and wanted to stay with her for life. He was not sure of his feelings on Kripa. But he liked her a lot. Her bubbly, chirpy, naughty behavior attracted him towards her. Her smile admired him. Her careless nature sometimes made him mad but loved to be with her all the time.

"Angad! Mere papa Kanpur move ho raha hai aur hum sabb bhi. Unhe wahan ek acha sa job mila hai . We might move by this summer" Kripa told him what she heard from Naina during breakfast.

Angad was shocked and requested her stay back. Kripa laughed and said it won't be possible.

Angad was sad and became silent as thinking how to make it possible for them to stay together. He caressed her cheeks, lips looking deep into her eyes. Kripa noticed his sorrow and his touch vibrated her senses. She kissed on his cheeks to bring him to normal and promised to keep in touch with him.
Angad felt happy and kissed her back. Kripa held his face and kissed loudly on his lips.

Her kiss made Angad fall crazy for her. That kiss changed her life. That kiss made Angad love Kripa for life. That kiss she remembered for her life.

Angad amazed with her loud kiss and took her in his arms. He hugged her tightly nibbling her neck, shoulders, cheeks, and lips. Kripa drowsily looked into his eyes. The fragrance in the air mesmerized her. The atmosphere and Angad's presence fascinated her. Kripa closed her eyes with the numb feeling in her knees and feet. Both forwarded and melted in their hugging. With first experience in hotel they cooperated with each other easily and enjoyed the night under moonlight.

 
Kripa woke up and checked the surroundings. It looked like Angad's bedroom. It must be around 8 in the morning. Sunlight covered the whole room. She recollected night before them together.. Angad also woke up and turned towards her.

"Angad! Hum yahan kaise aaye", asked Kripa.

Angad showed his hand as airplane and made noise with his mouth expressing as if they flew over the bed. Kripa blushed and asked for serious answer.
"Tum bahooth gehere neend sorahi thi. Main tumhe uthakar laya hoon. We slept for hours under the moonlight", squeezed Kripa's cheeks. Kripa blushed and cuddled in his arms. They silently looked into each others eyes for some more time.

Later Kripa and Angad got fresh and had coffee and headed home.
Angad dropped Kripa outside the apartments and took promise again to keep in touch forever.

Kripa ran into the house after bade Angad.. As soon as Kripa entered the house she noticed all rooms were empty. She was told by her mom that all furniture and things were packed and moved to Kanpur as they were leaving early morning.

Kripa screamed that she didn't inform any of her friends. Naina ignored her that it was not a big deal and she could call from Kanpur and inform them. Kripa went to her room and cried for hours and slept empty stomach. She remembered the night she spent with Angad. She didn't want to go away from Angad and her schoolmates. She badly missed Angad.

Evening Naina went out for some necessary shopping. Dilip was busy in packing rest of their things. Kripa got up and wiped her tears and tried to call Misthy. She checked for her diaries, school books where she wrote all friends' phone numbers. But she couldn't get none. She asked Dilip but no vain. She screamed loudly for sending everything to Kanpur without her notice. Dilip scolded her and asked to call them as soon as they reached Kanpur. Kripa tried to go out to Misthy's house but Naina came back in right time. As soon as Naina came home all of them went to Dilip's old colleague's house for their farewell party.

Kripa uninterestingly took part in the conversation with all during the party. They reached home late night. Kripa cried for her helpless situation for not able to inform her friends and cursed herself for not remembering any numbers.

Early in the morning they got ready and left for Kanpur. Kripa wrote her details on a piece of paper and gave to her watchman along with 500 rupees for his pocket expenses and requested him to give the details to her friends when anyone came for her.

When warm tears rolled down her cheeks Kripa came into presence and cried for long time till her heart felt light. She cursed herself for being nave and innocent in those days. Her heart badly cried now for Angad's presence. She longed to hear his voice. "I love you Angad." Kripa got tears aqs soon as he came in his mind. She decided to call him first in the morning and fell asleep cuddling the pillow. 


On the other end..... 
Angad  badly missed Kripa. He tried to call Kripa several times but got no response. He's worried if Kripa reached safely and spent nice time at wedding. Misthy came into his room for his surprise.

"Hi! Misthy! Tum yahan? Kaise ho?" Angad welcomes her.

"Main theek hoon tum kaise ho? Looks like you lost somewhere?" Misthy teased. Angad blushed and told his worries about Kripa.

 
Misthy sighed and consoled him."Kripa is not a little girl. She knew how to manage things. She must be busy with wedding over there. And mobile bhi reachable nahin hoga"

"Haan Misthy! Only Kripa is not reachable. I called friends there and talked. She dint even left the details about the ceremony. She just left the message with dadi about her trip." disappointingly told Angad.

Misthy laughed at sulking Angad and walked to him. She patted his shoulder  "don't worry, do din ke liye hi gayi thi na? aajayegi."

"wohi tho doubt hai", murmured Angad.

Misthy surprisingly looked at Angad. Angad expressed his fears if Kripa left him like she did 10years ago.

"Angad! Us waqt tho she was not in love with you, but now she wants you, she needs you and she loves you a lot" Misthy tried to convince him.

They went back to those days remembering how they tried hard to get back to Kripa.
