Part: 16

Kripa got ready for the party. She wore a lime green Italian Crepe full gown with nice work on it. Naina presented her matching set of jewelry and Kripa looked stunning in the out fit. Everyone greeted her as gave gifts. Parents with eligible sons introduced their sons to her to make the relation favorable for them. Kripa met them participating half heartedly in the conversation but her mind filled with tension about the problem she had.

Tanya also came for the party and kept moving in close surroundings of Kripa to support her. Tanya teased Kripa in between and Kripa got irritated.

"Kyon Kripa! Itna irritate ho rahi hai?" Isse badkar achasa gift sweet 16 ki asar per kya ho sakta hai? At least inform your boyfriend about this" Tanya adviced after the party when both relaxed on terrace. Both changed into their pajamas. Tanaya got permission to sleep with Kripa that night. Kripa looked angrily at Tanya "Tanya! Yeh baath tumhe batha kar bahooth galthi kee thi mainey. Agli baar tumhe bina bathakar chali jaaongi"

"Kya? Agli baar? You mean you are already ready for second?" Tanya pretended amused. Kripa gave a slap on her head. Tanya apologized and asked to make it clear.

"Main akeli chali jaaongi abortion ke liye" Kripa seriously told her decision. Tanya apologized and offered her help all the time.

 
"Kripa! Kyon hum yahin terrace pe soye", suggested Tanya.

"haan soyenge. Chalo bed leke aathe hai",Kripa ran downstairs and got everything to set bed.

"Kripa! Prince kaisa dikta hai?",Tanya asked after settling on bed.

 
"Kyon? Tumhe kya? Acha hai. Mujh pe Martha tha" Kripa blushed.

"phir tum kyon ek bar socho ki yeh bachi ko janam de?" Tanya showed her curiosity.

"Nahin Tanya! I'm not ready for it. Patha nahin main kaise iss maamle mein pad gayi." Kripa showed her firm decision.

"Kaise hua? Kaise lagthi hai pehle kiss", Tanya asked curiously.

Kripa slapped on her head and asked to shut her mouth and turned other side.

She remembered the days with Angad, "I felt I was in heaven. Bahooth acha lagtha tha usse milna, baathe karna. Kahin pe, ya kissi pe bhi mann nahin lagtha tha. Not on studies, nor on food, always want to stay with him" Kripa whispered like she said to herself. Tanya looked into her eyes. Kripa blushed and hid her face into her palms. She got up as tied her hands around knees and put her chin on knees cuddling herself. Tanya leaned on Kripa putting her chin on kripa's shoulder.

"phir kyon usse phone karke baath batha deti?" Tanya again suggested.

Kripa nodded her head and looked into the sky "nahin Tanya mera mann iske liye tayar nahin hai. Ek baar sochi thi ki yeh bache ko rakhloo. But somehow I didn't feel comfortable" Kripa's sorrowful voice moved Tanya's heart.

Tanya pressed her hand and showed her concern.

They decided to approach Tanya's cousin again after 4 days since the cousin won't be available for next 2 days.

Kripa felt uneasy and had very little food at home. Naina was busy in developing rapport with the high society of Kanpur and ignored Kripa for a while. That helped Kripa to involve in her problem.

Fourth day Kripa bunked the school and went to the hospital. Doctor Cousin examined her again and told to wait for 10 more days. Kripa couldn't understand for the delay and asked if it won't be a problem when days pass. Doctor Cousin gave assurance to help Kripa that the pregnancy was only 30 days and she cannot confirm it till 46 days. She gave tips to overcome the uneasiness.

Kripa was upset for the delay and told Tanya "yeh tumhari cousin kyon itna delay karr rahi hai? I'm scared if mom comes to know about it. Mere pet upar agaye tho mamma ko patha chal jaayegi na."

Tanya laughed "Kripa! Do mahinon mein peth bahar nahin aatha. Don't worry I'll speak to her and ask for help soon".

Kripa was still worried and counted days for the Day. She remembered the days spent with Angad and cursed for not controlling her senses.

The day came and Kripa was nervous. Tanya was with her all the time at hospital. They both took leave from school. Kripa's parents went on a business tour keeping a nanny to help Kripa. Kripa told nanny that she was going to Tanya's house for study together.

Kripa was asked to go under a surgery to abort the child and it took few hours. Before Kripa was given sedation the hospital nurse asked to give a second thought for the abortion. Kripa scolded her and told she didn't want to become a mother at that age. Nurse asked if she wanted to inform the boy or his parents about this. Kripa screamed at her and told she won't care the boy and his parents and it's her own problem. Kripa was scared of Naina and wanted to get rid of the problem before Naina came back.

Kripa was told that she became weak and had to take bed rest. Kripa didn't want to let Naina knew about all this mess. Kripa had undergone surgery for 4 hours and kept for few more hours for observation to recover and sent home in the night. All the time Tanya and the cousin took good care of Kripa. Doctor cousin told Kripa about the medicines and care of health and physical exercises.

Kripa was asked to come back after a week for complete check up after surgery. She taught Kripa how to change bandage everyday. Tanya took her home and told nanny that Kripa felt sick coz of over studies. Tanya took complete care of Kripa for two days. Kripa got tears when she saw the big cut on abdomen on the next day and promised herself for not going again through such an idiotic situation. Tanya consoled her, helped all the way through changing bandages, supplying medicines and food..

Naina and Dilip came after a week and Kripa became normal by that time. Kripa went for checkup after a week and Doctor Cousin told she's normal and continue medicines for some more time for complete recovery.

Kripa came into presence when her mobile kept ringing. She finished her shower and got ready to meet Angad.

* ****

Angad kept a party on occasion of his reunion with Kripa in his farm house, kripa's favourite place. All Kripa's friends and Angad's close friends attended the party. Angad and Kripa looked adorable with each other's presence. Kripa wore gagra. The dark maroon transparent chiffon laid on dark green silk base with gold zardousi work on it added beauty with matching jewelry. Angad bought it for her 2 years ago thinking he will present to Kripa when she came into his life no matter when it would be.

Kripa was so surprised when he told her in his house after Kripa's return from Kanpur and wore for this occasion. Angad wore his white dress shirt and Navy blue trouser. Harshini, Aaliyah, Misthy, Anittah had come with their families. Prithvi and Siddarth came together. Gouri and Nishant had also joined them. Siddarth announced his marriage fixed with his distant relative who was in her final year engineering in Bangalore. All congratulated him. Gouri met everyone once at her marriage but couldn't recognize much of them now. Nishant introduced each one again. Gouri and Harshini became good friends soon as both were in same profession. Siddarth shared arrangements for his marriage with Misthy. Anita became busy with other new people in the party. Shabbir and Kartik shared their case studies. Angad and Kripa met all people as acknowledged their greetings.

In between conversation Gouri found Misthy was closer to Kripa. She already heard from Nishant that how Kripa came to India.

"Misthy! Tum Kripa ko bahooth kareeb se jaanthi ho. kya who tumhe sab baathey batha thi hai?",Gouri took a chance to enquire about Kripa.

Angad told Misthy before about Kripa's pains and stay in Kanpur for another day.  Misthy worried if there was a problem in Kripa's health. Gouri asked if Kripa had any post abortion problems. Gouri explained what she found about Kripa. Misthy didn't say anything and silently heard whatever Gouri told. Misthy invited Gouri to hear about the past as Gouri showed some interest to know about kripa's past. Gouri requested Misthy to bring Angad also at the same time. Misthy agreed.

After party Kripa stayed back in the farm house.
"Angad! Main ek baath poochu?", Kripa hesitantly started conversation resting her head on Angad.

"haan", Angad answered cuddling her closer.

Kripa searched for words and Angad lifted her chin  "pooch kya poochna chahthi hai".

"Wo Diya ki barren mein I mean uski maa ke baarne main", Kripa gathered her guts.

Angad became silent for a moment and asked "kya jaan na chahti ho Diya ki maa ke barren main?" He turned completely towards Kripa.

"Wo kahan hai? Kaun hai? kyon tum sey alag hai?" Kripa continued.

 
Angad looked into her eyes for a moment and kissed her both eyes "mere pass hai yahan mere bahon mein" He hugged her closely.

He whispered in her ears without giving anymore chance to Kripa to speak, "Kripa! Main sab baad main bathaoonga. Abb sojao bahoot raath hui hai"
He made her sleep without giving any chance to her to say anything further.
