                 Part – 8

Angad is lying on his bed and thinking about Kripa’s question…

Kripa is right, Angad hates Kripa, the way she looks at him as if he is a womanizer…

Come on Kripa, a little flirting with my crazy girl fans to make them happy and feel special is not harmful ..

But, why is Angad bothered about what Kripa thinks about him?

And why should he likes to protect her like he is her savior?

Because she is from Nainital and she needs some help to survive in the urban crowd…

Kripa has got her personal bodyguard for that, haina?

Angad gets angry as he thinks about Prithvi, he doesn’t like how Kripa prefers hanging out with that Prithvi and not Angad..

Is that so? What does Angad has to do with Kripa’s preferences?

Because Kripa is his childhood friend, she should be with Angad and not that Prithvi? Haina?

What a liar? Does Angad even remember anything at all about their childhood?

It’s only from Dadi’s stories that he knows about that time he was with Kripa…

If he himself couldn’t remember anything, how would Kripa who is much younger remember him?

Angad is confused about why anything and everything about this Kripa bothers him so much…

Why is he thinking about her unnecessarily while she doesn’t even consider him worthy enough to acknowledge him as a family friend?

Kripa is only interested in her new found friendship with Prithvi, she totally ignores Angad Khanna….

Angad should also ignore her, she is just another co-star, Kripa is actually the one and only co-star who is not Angad’s choice…

Kripa’s chapter in Angad’s life will end with the end of their concert…..

Angad need not lose his sleep thinking about her…

But the more he tries to abandon her thoughts the more they keep coming back….

Anyway poor Angad couldn’t stop thinking about Kripa…

Kripa is also not able to sleep because of Angad…

As for Kripa, she didn’t even have the luxury to forget Angad, even for a moment since childhood, it’s like she grew up with Angad through her father’s talks about Angad….

Without her knowledge Angad has always been a part of Kripa’s life right from the beginning itself, it’s like he is already the most prominent member of her family…

Kripa hates Angad, the rock star, because he is her biggest competitor, from the beginning she had to unfairly compete with Angad, the singer just to get her father’s acknowledgement…

Now Kripa has got the opportunity to sing with her biggest rival and she has to prove her father that she is better…

Kripa has to forget about the rivalry or whatever it is that is bothering her and concentrate on her singing, she should ignore Angad and think as if he doesn’t exist, like Prithvi said, inorder to achieve her goal…. .

The two of them go to sleep thinking about the other while boasting to ignore each other…

Next day….

Kripa oversleeps….

Dadi let her sleep because she knows that Kripa is working late night and needs some rest…

Kripa has to go to the academy in the morning and the rehearsals in the evening…

Since there is only a week left for the concert, Naina has asked Kripa to skip academy and be present for the rehearsals both morning and evening…

Kripa wakes up and it’s already 10 am… .

Kripa: ohh God, why did I sleep so late last night? I am late, what will aunty think about me? It’s all because of that Angad I lost my sleep and I am also late

Kripa quickly gets ready and goes down…

Dadi is waiting for her at the breakfast table…

Dadi: good morning Kripa

Kripa: morning dadi, I am late, Dadi, you could have woken me up

Dadi smiles…..

Dadi: what’s the hurry darling? Come, have your breakfast

Kripa: but Dadi, you don’t know that today I have my rehearsals in the morning too

Dadi is still smiling: I know Kripa

Kripa: everyone would be waiting, I can’t do this, Naina aunty will be upset

Dadi: she won’t be, don’t worry

Kripa is surprised: what?

Dadi: even if you had gone on time, still you would also be waiting with everyone

Kripa: Dadi, I don’t understand, why would we wait?

Dadi: for Angad Khanna, the rock star

Kripa is confused…

Angad is never late to his rehearsals…

But that was in the evening Kripa…

Kripa: Dadi, Angad is always punctual

Dadi laughs…..

Dadi: that’s why I always tell that you never know anything about Angad, it’s not that easy to know him

Kripa: Dadi?

Dadi: Angad wakes up late, because of the late night rehearsals, you too were with him, so I let you to sleep, you need to rest properly Kripa

Kripa: ok Dadi, I must leave now, bye

Dadi: Kripa wait, how will you go?

Kripa: Dadi, I will take a cab

Dadi: Kripa, you can go with Angad

Kripa: no Dadi, I will go by myself

Dadi: but I have already asked Angad to take you with him

Kripa: Dadi, as you said, he will be late, but I can’t wait for him

Just the Angad comes…. He gets angry hearing that…

Angad: so what I am late, what about Ms.Punctual Dadi? Why is she still here?

Kripa: hmmm waiting for Angad Khanna, the rock star, who is also here

Dadi: Haan Angad, Kripa is waiting for you only

Kripa: Dadi, I am going the cab is here

Dadi: but Kripa, your breakfast

Angad: Dadi yaar, let her go, I am hungry, come, let’s eat

Dadi: Kripa, you can’t dance on an empty stomach, come and have a juice at least and you can go with Angad

Dadi tells her strictly this time…

Bith of them go and sit at the table not looking at each other…

Dadi smiles seeing their childish behaviour ..

Dadi: so, you two dance like this? What about the audience? They too will turn their back to you

Angad: Dadi, where’s my French Toast?

Maid: yahan hai Angad baba

Kripa sips her juice staring Angad while Angad pretends to ignore her…

Angad: bye Dadi

Dadi: Angaaaaad? You forgot something

Angad comes back and hugs Dadi while looking at Kripa…

Dadi: Angad, take care of Kripa

Angad whispers so that only Kripa could hear: Dadi, she knows to take care of herself, you should only be worrying about your favorite potha, God save me from Kripa

Angad walks off staring Kripa…

Kripa bows down to take her blessings… .

Dadi stops her and takes her into a hug…

Dadi: you will rock Kripa, all the best

Angad is waiting in the car… he blows the horn…

Kripa walks slowly to irritate him…

They go to the rehearsal hall without uttering a word to each other….

Prithvi is already there…

Prithvi receives Kripa…

Prithvi: good morning Kripa, you are late

Kripa looks at Angad: no Prithvi, I am on time, look the rock star has just arrived, the rehearsals run by Angad’s clock

Angad: yeah, Angad runs his shows, so everything run by his clock

Angad gets ready for practice straight away…

Master: where is Kripa?

Kripa was having a word with Prithvi…

Prithvi was asking her whether she went home safely the previous night…

Kripa comes….

Master: Kripa, why are you late?

Angad: Haan Kripa, how unprofessional?

Kripa stares Angad… he was also late, but how would one blame the rock star Angad Khanna?

Kripa: sorry

Master: take your position

Kripa goes and joins Angad…

Prithvi keeps cheering Kripa…

Kripa struggles with a difficult step…

Angad is used to it but it’s new for Kripa…

Angad makes her work hard and is very fast not giving her time to master the new step…

Master: come on Kripa concentrate

Kripa is annoyed…

She steps back to get a break but Angad catches hold of her and pulls her back…

She goes and hits him…

Angad looks into her eyes, Kripa too gets lost in the eye contact…

Kripa freezes for a moment…

Master: Kripa, what are you doing?

Kripa gets back to her position…

This time they get lost in each other and do the step beautifully with ease…. Their chemistry sparkles….

Angad and Kripa do their signature step, Kripa bending down and Angad holding her in his arms with the two lost in each other….

Everyone applaud their act….

Kripa gets back to her senses and moves away suddenly ..

Kripa goes to Prithvi who is still clapping…

Prithvi: that was wonderful Kripa

Kripa: thanks Prithvi

Prithvi: you were too good

Angad doesn’t like it…

He walks cutting across Kripa and Prithvi…

Angad: it’s called Angad’s magic, you should thank Angad Khanna for that Kripa

Prithvi: Angad, you might be a rock star, but Kripa is also very talented, learn to appreciate others too

Kripa: Prithvi, why do you expect all this from “The Rock Star”? Some people never look beyond themselves

Angad: yeah, when others are too small

Kripa tries to say something…

Prithvi stops her…

Prithvi: let’s go Kripa, I have booked lunch for us

Kripa: but Prithvi, my rehearsals

Prithvi: we will be back in time, Let’s go

Prithvi holds Kripa and takes her with him….

Angad keeps watching them leave…

Angad leaves disappointed…
