Angad and Kripa had disturbed sleep with different thoughts.
Kripa got ready with white based floral designed georgette sari with matching jewelry and went to work. At lunch she unknowingly expected Angad's call but disappointed. Around 2 in the afternoon, she got to take some notes from Angad and walked with her notepad. Angad is on phone with someone and gestured at Kripa with left hand asking her to come in. He spent some time with Shabir and another client. Angad gave his notes and asked Kripa to get it soon.
Shabbir and client left by the time Kripa got the notes in fair letter pad. After placing it on the table she took steps to leave the cabin. Angad stopped her "Kripa! Can I have a few minutes, please!"
Kripa turned and he walked her to the sofa for her surprise.
"I forgot to ask you, what are you doing tonight?" Angad asked sitting next to her.
Kripa quizzically looked at him "kuch khaas nahin, kyon?"
Angad smiled shaking his head sideways and dialed some number. "Haan Josh! We are coming, two tickets. Sure… see you then at 8"
Kripa surprised "Angad! Where are we going? I can't come. I've to go somewhere with dad."
Angad suspiciously looked at her "Just nw you told me that you don't have any work?"
"Haan, I said but, I meant it's not important to tell you my personal things" Kripa bit her tongue inside mouth for talking harshly and lowered her eyes seeing hurt in Angad's eyes.
Angad stared at her for few seconds and called some number "Hello! Uncle! Mein Angad bolraha hoon… Uncle! Can I take Kripa with me for an important musical show? It's a good show and I want her to enjoy it. I can drop her back after the show….ThanQ Uncle!...jee she will be with me till then. Office ke baad jayengey."
He hung the phone and turned to Kripa who is watching him with parted lips and big eyes.
Angad leaned towards her and raised eyebrows at her looking straight into her eyes. Kripa angrily looked at him and swallowed as turning her face away from him.
"Go and finish your work. I'll finish mine and will leave around 6." Kripa gave a dirty look at him and stumped out the room. Angad smiled himself.
Kripa is humiliating inside though her hands mechanically finishing her work. "yeh Angad kya sochta hai. What does he think about me? Am I his servant? Wife? To follow his orders? Without my permission he called papa and decided to go to some concert? What will he do when I refuse? Is he playing with me? He wants to know my mind? He knows I'm interested in him. Phir bhi, he bluntly refused to marry me but wants to flirt with me? Aakhir iska irada kya hai?"
Finally, after discussing in her mind about the date with him, she decided not to go. NEVER. NOWHERE.
She finished her work as per her daily schedule and went home. Angad called for Kripa a few minutes after Kripa left and stunned to know about it.
Kripa stumped into the house and stunned to see Angad talking to her parents. He smiled and greeted her. She walked into her room without wishing him back. Gayatri followed her "Abhi shadi bhi nahi huvi tum Angad sey ladney lagey ho?"
Kripa furiously looked at her. Gayatri puzzled for her anger "Angad ney kahan hai ki tum us per gussa ho kar concert pe jaaney ko mana ki thi?"
Suryaban, meanwhile, came into the room "Kripa! Angad is waiting for you. Get ready fast and go. He is not going without you"
Kripa is confused for Angad's behavior "Akhir yeh chahta kya hai?"
Kripa wore a white organza with painted flowers onit, with pearl necklace and pearl studs, loose braided hair. She came into living room and gave a glance at Angad "Maa! Hum chaltey hai" she stepped out without waiting for him. Angad bid goodbye to Sharma couple and followed Kripa.
Kripa sat in passenger seat without looking at Angad. Angad is silently driving giving side glance to Kripa now and then.
Kripa is staring out of the window but could see his looks caressing her. She couldn't enjoy his passionate looks as earlier since she is fuming inside.
Angad parked the car in front of the concert venue and walked inside with Kripa dropping hand around her waist. Kripa gave a sharp look at Angad. But he ignored and greeted some known people.
All the time Angad held Kripa's waist as if she might run away from him when he neglects her.
"Angad! yahan sey main kahin bhaag nahin jaaoongi, keep your hands off me."
"Promise?"Kripa gave sharp looks to his mischievous looks. Angad smiled and took off his hands from her.
Kripa enjoyed the concert and thanked Angad for bringing her.
After concert Angad drove back home to drop Kripa. Kripa is tired and took a nap in the car. Angad stopped the car a few yards before Kripa's apartments.
Angad stared few seconds at her. She realized the car took a halt and looked into his eyes "Yeh kya hai, yahin ruk diya?"
Kripa is about to get down and he grabbed her hand to pull her close "I can't see you so silent"
Kripa hid her smile by pouting her lips and turned her face.
He turned her face towards him "True Kripa! I know I hurt you, but I told the truth. Truth about my feelings. Iss wajah se I can't lose your friendship. Our friendship came much before these feelings. I like that old Kripa, innocent, foolish, smiley. Please, be normal as before."
Kripa smiled with a soft sigh "I'm normal Angad! I'm your friend too. I admit I was hurt but not angry on you."
"Phir yeh sari and this unpleasant make-up" Angad innocently asked touching her sari and cheeks..
"Unpleasant?" Kripa rolled her eyes and laughed "What do you mean that? This is Kripa, I told you before also. This is the way I usually look. I just wore western clothes coz you like them. Now I realized I don't have to impress you." She paused and winked at him "hope I'm right?" she stepped out. She walked inside the gate and turned to him and waved her hand bidding goodbye.
Angad took a few seconds to digest what she said and laughed "KRIPA!!"
Next morning:
Devyani was talking to Suryaban on the phone about fixing the match between Angad and Kripa.
Kripa started arguing with Suryaban as protesting their decision at coffee time. "yeh meri jindagi hain, and I think I have full rights to take an important decision about it."
Gayatri interfered "Kripa! Don't argue now. When you are not interested you should have told to maassi too. You share everything with her, right? She is excited to fix the match and now you are against it? Agar ho kya raha hai tujhey."
Kripa couldn't explain them about Angad's rejection. She thought, "I think I have to talk to Dadi instead of mamma papa. They don't know about Angad. But after knowing Angad's decision, how could Dadi be stubborn to fix this match? What shall I do now? How could I stop this?"
She decided to meet Devyani and called office about her leave.
The evening in the pub:
"What are you thinking, Aaliyah?" Angad asked while having daily chit chat at the pub.
Aaliyah sharply looked at Angad "About you, thinking about you. Angad! Do you know what are you going to lose in your life?"
Angad sighed "phir wahi baat!! Kitney baar kahoon Aaloo! I'm not interested. She is not my type. I can't give the love I wanted to give to my wife. I can't see her like that."
Shabbir stopped Aaliyah from arguing as Angad is not interested in Kripa.
Aaliyah gave a cold look to Shabbir "Yuh he is not interested in Kripa for marriage but he likes to flirt with her. Poocho, why did he take her to the concert last night?"."
"I took her to Concert but she enjoyed with fallen face." Angad grinned "I like her, that is truth, and it doesn't mean I have to marry her. Dadi ussey pasand karti hai kyon ki wo ussey bachpan sey jaanti hai. I can't marry her atleast not in near future. Aaj toh wo office ayi bhi nahin, ghar mein nahin hai, I don't know where was she." Angad lit his cigarette.
