Part:14

Gouri went into the room along with Kripa and the other lady doctor in the hospital. Gouri explained the Lady Doctor about Kripa's pain and her medicines. She checked Kripa and realized she collapsed coz of the pain-killer. It's a sleep and nothing serious. Gouri relaxed. The Lady Doctor asked Gouri if Kripa had babies. Gouri said she didn't know about her much but she's unmarried. The Lady Doctor laughed and commented "Aaj kal bachon pe kya bharosa". Gouri offended. The Lady Doctor wondered to notice a scar on Kripa's abdomen. The Lady Doctor suspected the scar was alarming something since Kripa lived in US and might be having some boyfriends. They discussed for few minutes and decided to stop Kripa to use such drugs. Gouri decided unless she got reliable information from Kripa she should not jump into any conclusions.

They kept Kripa in the hospital till she woke up and Nishant informed Angad and his in-laws about her. Nishant told Angad that Kripa would stay one more day since he's there. Angad was happy to know that Kripa went to Nishant's sister-in-laws wedding only.

 
Kripa woke up in the evening. Nishant told her how they worried about her and Kripa apologised for the inconvinience caused to them. They took Kripa home.

Everyone in Saxena house asked why she got so frequent pain and advised to go for proper check-up. Kripa apologized once again for the inconvenience and took rest in the night. Gouri and Nishant didn't force her much and left her alone.

The next morning at breakfast everyone gathered.

"Bhaiyya! Main chali jaoongi. I'm alright now. It has became a part in my life, nothing to worry much about it", requested Kripa.

" No! Kripa! I don't allow you to go alone. We'll take you tomorrow with us. Till then you are staying with us. This is my order" gave his authoritative decision. "And one more thing you are not going back to US also unless you go for full check-up" Ordered Nishant.

 
Kripa smiled and agreed with no alternative. Gouri just watched them silently and thought how to get an opportunity to ask Kripa about her condition. She didn't mention to Nishant whatever happened in the hospital between her and the Lady Doctor.

Nishant told that he informed Angad but not about her health. Kripa thanked him and went inside to call Angad. Gouri didn't get any chance to ask Kripa for more details.

The next day all of the three headed to Mumbai and reached around noon. Kripa excited to see Angad after 5 days gap. Nishant told Angad that he would drop Kripa home so he need not come to the airport. Flight reached Mumbai around noon.

Gouri and Nishant surprised when they saw Angad at airport. Nishant teased Kripa for Angad's impatience. Gouri silently watched the couple. Kripa blushed and headed home in Angad's car.

* ** *

Nishant was silently driving and Gouri was in passenger seat seriously in deep thoughts. Nishant  checked her in between his drive but didn't disturb her. She became very moody especially when she came out from her mom's house. They reached home. After dinner Nishant  checked some emergency files and Gouri relaxed on bed. Nishant came to her and asked what was bothering her.

"Nishant! How long you know Angad?", Gouri asked to get some shape to her thoughts.

Nishant surprised and told that he knew him since childhood.

 
"How was the relationship between Angad and Kripa?" Gouri questioned again.

"They used to go out together. They became close because of rehearsals and year ending celebrations", casually told Nishant. "Yeh sab kyon poonch rahi ho"

"Kuch nahin. Itni saalon ke baad wo dono phir se ek ho gaye badi kushi ki baath hai"

"Ha Gouri! Kripa is very lucky. Angad loved her to his heart." Nishant showed his gladness.

Gouri was still thinking and didn't seem to be impressed with the information she got from Nishant.

She thought to gather some more information about Kripa's past 10years life or at least about her scar. She decided to talk to Kripa once and take help from the hospital where Kripa undergone the surgery.

*    *      *  *

Through out the drive Kripa explained about her stay at Kanpur. Angad silently listened to her since he longed to see her and hear her voice. He directly took her to his farmhouse. Kripa was surprised and excited to go there and blushed with past memories.

Angad parked the car and lifted her into the house. Kripa got down and ran to the lounge and checked all the surroundings if anything changed. All the plants and bushes changed their places and grown big. Some new pots replaced there. The furniture changed but swing was still there. She went to the edge of parapet wall and looked around the yard and took deep breathe to sense the old fragrance in the air. The whole yard changed and looked more organized.

Angad came upstairs with wine and meals for both while Kripa enjoyed the place. Kripa turned back and ran to him and hugged him tightly. Angad kissed her cheek warmly and both silently relaxed in each others hands "kuch yaadein hai uss raat ki?" she nodded without opening her eyes and hugged his neck. 

"Angad! I missed you a lot. I love you!" Kripa continuously chanted and kissed Angad emotionally.

"I love you too, Kripa! I missed you too a lot. Never go away without informing me. I spent 10years in waiting for you. I don't want to loose you any more at any cost", Angad also poured his heart.

They experienced how much they had missed each other. Kripa looked into his eyes without moving from him and said with tears in her eyes "kabhi nahin door jaaongi. Promise"

Angad kissed her nose, lifted her and swirled around.

Angad slowly released her and took to the swing.

"Yeh pyar kahan chupayi thi in saalon mein", caressed her head.

Kripa nodded her head 'patha nahin' and again cuddled him. She cried out of tension release. He patted her back for few seconds till she came to normal.
They talked about their childhood memories for a long time. They both decided in their minds that they should tell their truth to each other as soon as possible.

Angad and Kripa finished their moonlight dinner and had nice intimate time.

*    

Angad and Kripa got ready by 9 in the morning and went home to meet dadi. Diya already left for school and dadi was about to leave for office. She warmly received Kripa and enquired about her trip. Dadi asked Kripa to inform Kripa's parents about the marriage and requested them to come as soon as possible. Kripa agreed and promised she will inform the same day.
Dadi left after lunch.

Angad took Kripa to his room. Kripa saw all her pictures hung in the room and felt happy in finding out Angad's love on her. Angad showed all his gifts gathered over past 10years for Kripa thinking she might come back one day. Kripa emotionally moved and promised once again she would be with him for life. Kripa asked for Diya's pictures at the time of birth since she couldn't able to see them last time in her visit to his house. Angad showed 2days old  and onwards pictures of Diya but without her mother. She noticed another family with them in those pictures. Angad explained as his family friends but Kripa hesitated to ask about Diya's mother.

Angad told many things about what he did past 10years. Kripa finally asked about Diya's mother. Angad smiled and told she's in the same city only and he would show her one day. Kripa disappointed to hear that and couldn't ask if they were divorced or just living separately.

Diya came from school around 4 and felt happy to see Kripa. They both spent a nice time till dinner. Kripa helped Diya in her homework and enquired about her studies. Angad was impressed for Kripa's interest in Diya. Kripa gave the gifts she bought for Diya from Kanpur.

Angad drove her home after dinner. Kripa silently watched outside the window throughout the drive.
"Kripa! Since you are insisting I'm dropping you home. Otherwise I want you to stay with me only" Angad expressed his unwillingness in staying away from her.

Kripa smiled and continued watching outside.
"kya soch rahi hai? Tum kush ho na iss shadi se?" Angad asked curiously.

Kripa smiled and nodded her head and said she was also not happy in staying away but wanted to be alone till her parents come. Angad and Kripa spent some time together and Angad went away taking promise from her for meeting everyday.

Kripa is about to sleep and she got call from Gouri requesting her if she could meet her the next day anytime. Kripa took an appointment and gone to bed.
