At night 9:
Misthy came into the room where Kripa is placed in dulhan attire. She is waiting for Angad. Misthy placed some sweets, milk, and some gifts on the bed side table.
Misthy smiled at Kripa and Kripa blushed.
"Angad ke liye intezaar ho..he's coming. Kartik usse leke ayega.", Misthy winked at Kripa and explained for the delay in Angad's entry. IKripa is blushed. She sat besides Kripa. Kripa looked into Misthy's eyes.
Misthy hold Kripa's chin and says"Kripa! I don't believe you are in front of us and all this happened. I really missed you. I was feared to face you to see your reaction after knowing about Diya. Me and Angad hid it for so many years from you and everyone. I'm so happy to see you handled it so bravely".
Misthy took Kripa's hands and caressing softly and says" Kripa! Main Angad ko bachpan se jaanthi hoon. Jab se main hosh sambala usey apni bhai samaj kar saath diya. Jabb bhi usko dekthi hoon I feel motherly affection towards him. Umar mein usse choti hoon magar aise kabhi bhi nahi laga rather I always felt I'm his older sister. Angad was alone from childhood. He lost his parents when he was 16 and dadi took all care of him. I was there always with him as a good friend. He shares all his feelings with me. Yahatak tumhari valentine's days bhi. Haan I know when you were close to each other first time, Angad felt you are his life. He madly loves you. He never hid anything from me. Issiliye main itna kuch kar saka Diya ke liye. Abb yeh jimmedari tumhe somp rahi hoon. Be always with him and never hurt him. Always try to know his heart before he tells you. You are so lucky to have him.
I know you too love him with the same affection. But you always took things in very lighter way so far in your life. Abb tum ek patni ho aur ek maa bhi. So take the responsibility of your family in your hands. Tum donon ke beech mein kabhi differences of opinion paida ho clear it by talking to each other. Never go away from him. And I'm here always to help you. Main jitna Angad ko pyaar karthi utna tumse bhi. Mere liye tum dono anmole hai. "She kissed her forehead and smiled. Kripa hugged Misthy and thanked her for her valuable advices at that time. Misthy wished happy night and left the room.
All kids went to bed. Naina, Dilip and dadi are busy in winding up things.
Kartik is taking class on Misthy's advise to Angad in another room. "Angad! Today is very precious day. I know you both already been close to each other but yeh shadi ke pehli raath is a very important to newly married couple. You start your life with a new status and responsibility. I know you love Kripa but abb se uske jimmedhari bhi tum par hai. Don't take things for granted. Kripa abb bhi naadan hai. Her brought up never gave any maturity in her thinking or behaviour. She is happy to know you saved her child and took good care of her. She also loves you. Never hide any things between you both. Try to explain if you did anything against her will or things happened in her absentia. Abb tak tum ek lover ho, ek pita ho. Abb ek husband bhi bangayi. Be always with your wife. It's your responsibility as a husband to make her understand everything and take responsibility of you and your kids. Let her handle things in her own way and help enough her to fulfill her duties. And last but not least advise is remember me and Misthy are always with you. Wish you happy first night" Kartik winked his eyes and hugged Angad. Angad thanked him and headed to his room where his love eagerly waiting for him.
It's around few minutes past 10. Whole room is beautifully decoratd with red roses and fragrance of incense is filled the whole room. Kripa is waiting in her dulhan attire for Angad. He locked the door behind him and approached Kripa.
"Yeh kya hai Kripa! feeling funny you following this custom" Angad commented her way of sitting on the bed and waiting for him.
"fursat mila abb? Kahan they itni der thak, aise bhaithi bhaithi dakh gayi hoon", Kripa questioned with frustration.
Angad smiled at her "kyon itni intezaar hai mere raah ki?"
Kripa blushed.
"dus saal sathaogi door reh ke' ……….aisi kuch kehrehe the na abb kya hua " teased Angad holding her chin.. Kripa hugged him and resting her head on his chest. "Do you think I could stay away from you" looked into his eyes. Angad nodded his head and put his hands around her saying,"I don't allow you to stay away from me how much ever you wanna be" Kissed her forehead.
"you are looking gorgeous..aise hi sajake rehna har raath " removing her goonghat, caressing her jewelry, bangles, forehead, and took her hand and kissed.
"Mom did all this, but every day Aisey"? I'm feeling so heavy" showing her dress-up pretending afraid of it Kripa continued,"nahin Angad I don't have that much patience…yeh sab mere bas ki baath nahin It took long time to put on. I can't put and remove everything everyday. It's lot of work" Kripa showed her disinterest in it.
"Nahin Kripa tum roz sajake rehna bus….. ..aur nikaal na mera kaam hai"seriously offered help looking into her eyes and hiding his smile. Kripa notices his naughty statement and started hitting him with fists. Angad laughed and hugged her.
"Mujhe abb bhi yakeen nahin horaha hai ki humare shadi hogayi. I waited for you a very long time. Aaj tum mere hogayi ho har haal se" he kissed her mangal sutra and pulled her close to him. He started kissing her eyes, nose. Kripa is reciprocating.
"Kripa! This is my gift to you on this occasion. You made my life complete", Angad put two diamond bangles on her hands.
"Kripa! aaj mere har quayish poori hogayi. Diya ko uski maa se mila saka. Tum mere jindagi mein aagayi. Bus aur kuch nahin chaahiye mujhe". He hid his face in her neck curve and kissing there warmly. Kripa is melting with his touch. After sometime she whispered in his ears "But Angad! I have another desire!"
Angad looked into her eyes. She blushed and hid her face in his neck curve and slowly said in his ears"mujhe 'Prateek' chaahiye". Angad questioned suspiciously "wo kaun tha".
Kripa looked into his eyes and rubbing his nose with hers and says "tha nahin hai..hoga". Kripa laughed and biting his ears answered whisperingly "mera beta'. Angad understood her naughty desire and took her in his hands.

Prateek's life has begun……………….
