PART 9
Angad ushered Kripa to sit in the car. In a few moments, both of them hit the busy Mumbai roads. The traffic was in full rush as many people were returning from work and many were out enjoying their weekend. Presently, Angad was driving on Marine Drive, Kripa carefully surveyed the scenery outside. She just loved Mumbai, that's why she had chosen Mumbai University to study in out off all the other Universities in the world. (*hint*hint*) Angad noticed the serene expressions of Kripa's face. Her chubby cheeks appeared awfully cute under moonlight; she looked just like an adorable Archangel. Kripa turned her gaze from the view outside and glanced towards Angad, who busy focusing on her rather than on driving.
K-Hello!!
A-Huh! Kya Kripa?
K-Kya mein music sun sakti hoon please Angad?
A-Yea..kyun nahin…ek musiclover se pooch rahi ko ki kya tum music sun sakti, ofcourse yaar. And I wouldn't say no to you?
K-Wo kyun?
A-Agar tum naraz ho gaii to mere pass hone ke koi chances nahin…
K-Angadddd!!!
A-Arey baba cool down, mein mazak kar raha tha…chillax.
K *cracking*-Yea yea sure…
Kripa was heart broken by Angad's words. She knew he meant what he said. He was only bothering to do all this for because he wanted to pass the stupid course. "And anyway why would he want to go into so much trouble for me" Kripa argued with herself. A tear unsuspectingly trickled down Kripa's cheek. Angad who happened to notice the sadness on Kripa's face was filled with remorse.
A-Yaar mein sach mein mazak kar rah tha, please I am sorry.
There was no answer from Kripa. Kripa simply turned away her face and waited for her apartment building to arrive. Angad felt that it was better not to bother Kripa at the moment so quieted down and centered on driving.
Soon, Angad pulled his car into the "K" (name of the apartment company) building parking lot. Kripa had inaudibly cried all the way home, which Angad failed to notice as Kripa's hair covered her face. Kripa wiped her tears, quietly got out of the car and turned around to thank Angad once more.
K-Thanks Angad.
Angad now, noticed the redness in Kripa's exquisite deep brown eyes. He realized that he had hurt Kripa deeply though what he failed to understand was why?? why did his words matter to her so much… Anyhow that was not what needed to worry about the moment "C'mon Kripa… you are bit too sensitive. Yaar please rona zaroori tha kya. I AM REALLY SORRY," Angad blurted out holding his ears. After noticing Angad's childish behaviour, Kripa couldn't help but smile. "It's okay Angad, you don't have to act all silly." "Well okay", Angad smiled. Angad was about to start his car when Kripa stopped him….
Next: What does Kripa plan to say to Angad? Will Angad still visit Kripa's house after what happened??
