Kripa: so where were we?
Angad: well right now it's time to eat lunch. If you don't mind me asking, will you go out on lunch with me?

Angad smiles back.
Angad: let me get Prithvi and ask him he wants to join us.
Kripa: sure
Prithvi comes in the room as Angad was going out. They meet at the door.
Angad: Prithvi, I am taking Kripa out for lunch, you wanna join us.
Prithvi: I would love to yaar but I can't. Just came from mom's cabin, I have to go with Mom at one of her friend's place.
Angad: oh okay. So we'll see you later.
Prithvi: ya, later today
Kripa says bye to Prithvi and she and Angad go for lunch.
At the restaurant
Kripa and Angad sit at one corner and talk as they wait for their food to arrive.
Angad: Kripa, you love Bhoomi a lot na?
Kripa: yah, she is my jaan.
Angad: Can I ask you something?
Kripa: sure
Angad: Why did you decide to adopt a child?
Kripa: Angad, I love kids. I used to visit orphanage often. Then one day Bhoomi was brought to that orphanage, she was so small. As soon as I looked at her, I felt something. Then I held in her my arms, I can still remember the smile she gave me when I touched her cheek. She looked like an angel. I just knew that I can't leave her in this orphanage. It's not that she wouldn't have gotten any care there, but because she needed a mother.
Angad: Kripa, I really respect you for that. It requires lot of courage to take such a decision. After all you were taking a responsibility for some one's life.
Kripa: thanks Angad, atleast you don't think I made a wrong decision.
Angad: why is that?
Kripa: nothing
Just then the waiter brought their food.
I'll continue when I get time.
