It was the best day for kavya, he
was getting married. Kripa could clearly see the excitement in his eyes as she
saw him sit in between the ladies who pampered him to no end. Some ladies were
talking weirdly to him, where as some were just pushing big ladoo's in
his mouth, which god knows how he managed to swallow.
Kavya wore a cream coloured sherwani which had slight tints of gold and maroon
embroidery on it. He wrapped a maroon coloured scarf around his neck, making
him look just perfect. Shabbir had met kripa the night before, slightly getting
a hint about angads words when he met her and indeed angad had a great choice,
she was nice, beautiful,pleasant, well he said that because he didn't see her
anger yet.
Kripa wore a turquoise lehenga with purple bead work, she wore a silver and
purple mixed with turquoise set to match with it and left her hair open with
curls at the ends.
Being the smaller sister of the groom, kripa put the sehra on for kavya and
then the barat took off towards the wedding hall where anjali and her family
with other guests waited.
Everything was in havoc in the hall , angad was ordering the waiters to do
there jobs correctly, he wore a black kurta with sleek work of silver. Pratham
being the big brother looked after the surroundings and checked everything was
alright, whereas anjalis parents were making sure everything was set at the
mandap.
Gauri who was dressed in a orange and bronze lehnga went into anjalis room to
see if she was ready, she stood behind anjali praising her "You look
beautiful"
"Bhabi" she whined shyly
"Why are you blushing now" she teased "blush when kavya--"
She was cut off "that's enough bhabi"
Gauri hit her head slightly "I'm goign to miss you"
"me too" anjali replied as she hugged gauri
Anjali wore a maroon lehnga with a blue border ,heavily beaded and embroidered.
anjalis hair was back combed and tied into a bun, she added heavy bronze and
maroon jewellery, wearing dark make up to compliment her.
Soon aliya came running in to the room, she was dressed in blue with her hair
left open with curls mixed within. "the baraat is here" she beamed
"Oh my god" anjali muttered "I'm nervous"
"nothing will go wrong" gauri assured "when I got married even I
was nervous, its natural"
"bhabi, just make sure I dont fall" she panicked
"oh come on anjali di" aliyah sighed dramatically
"shut up aaliya and help me"
"sorry cant" and she pulled gauri's hand "come on bhabi"
"where are you going?" anjali screamed
"To welcome your to be husband" she shouted and ran out with aliya,
whilst anjali blushed furiously.
Gauri stood at the doorstep infront of kavya. Angad and aliya and the rest of
the family stood beside her.
Kripa stood beside kavya with her siblings and her maasi, whilst the rest of
the family stood behind them.
gauri picked up the pooja thali and rounded it in front of kavya, she put a red
mark on his forehead. Kavya was just about to step inside when gauri stopped
him. "not yet" she informed
"why?" he asked confused
"Let me tell you" she said and pulled his nose. He moaned and looked
at her confused "sorry but you cant take anjali that easily, can
you?" she winked at him and gave him way to enter. One by one
everyone entered the hall.
kavya was standing around some men, whilst kripa was busy with some people.
Soon kripa went towards the stairs to see anjali when angad stopped her.
"move" she ordered
"no"
"angad please. I'm in a good mood, don't destroy it"
"destroy it" he wondered "I never do"
"whatever, now move" she said moving to go up the stairs
"no"
"angad" she glared at him
"Ok, I'll let you go today, your looking" he paused
"hilarious" he laughed
"Thankyou" then she realized what he said "what?" she asked
stunned "I hate you" she growled
"I love you too"he replied with a grin
kripa stuck her tongue out at him and pushed him aside, quickly rushing up the
stairs.
"god i love her" he mumbled as he watched her run up the stairs in
the turquoise material drifting him to dreamland.
Kripa entered anjali's room and said "hey, your looking great"
"thanks" she mumbled
"nervous?" kripa asked, holding her shoulders. She nodded "no
need, I'm sure bhai doesn't bite" kripa added mischievously "or does
he?"
"kripa" she whined
"fine, I wont tease" she looked at her through the mirror
"settle your nerves, your coming down in a few minutes"
"oh my god, please hold me, I cant do this" she mumbled highly
nervous.
"sure you can" kripa reassured
"I'm scared"
"come on, don't worry, everything will be fine" she promised and
left.
Soon kavya sat in the small mandir and the priest blabbered something as kavya
impatiently awaited for his bride. kripa stood behind kavya, whilst angad stood
besides her annoying her in some way or the other. aaliya stood a little behind
with her eyes stuck on kavyas shoes, whereas shabbir stood by the shoes
safeguarding them.
gauri bought anjali down , kavyas eyes were stuck on her. how could she look so
good he thought and how could she carry the burden of that dress. anjali was
nervous, she thought she would collapse any minute.
anjali was brought beside kavya and she sat on a stool next ot him, letting the
weddign rituals start. aliyas eyes were still stuck on kavyas shoes but she had
to get shabbir out of the way"gauri bhabi" she whispered
"what is it? stay quiet, the wedding rituals are going on"
"the shoes"
"Oh, go and get them"
"we have to get that man out of the way"
"hmm, let me see if I can do something" She walked towards him and
tapped his shoulder.
"yes" he replied looking back.
"you have a phone call at the reception"
"for me?" he asked confused
"umm, well I was told to call you"
"Oh, ok, thank you" and he left to receive his call. There was no
phone call, he quickly returned to find the shoes missing "Oh shit"
he muttered looking around.
Meanwhile, kavya placed the mangalsutra around anjalis neck and filled her
upper forehead with sindoor, then they were told to stand for the seven rounds
of the fire. kripa tied the knot for them and they took the rounds becoming man
and wife.
kavya couldnt find his shoes, he needed to step out of the mandir but his shoes
were no where in sight. He called for shabbir. "where are my shoes?"
"I cant find them?"
"I've got them" aliya said walking from a distance
Shabbir turned around immediately "you've got them" he said with a
glare.
"no, my neighbour has" she joked sarcastically
"whatever"
"so, now give them back" kavya ordered
"no, first give me my share of money then I'll give you your shoes"
"money?" shabbir asked confused
"how much?"kavya asked
"not much, just about Rs. 10,000
"no way" shabbir shouted"
"well, if you want the shoes then pay, otherwise, tough luck"
"first give the shoes then we'll pay" shabbir concluded
"no way, I'm not stupid top loose the money coming in my hands"
"we'll pay"
"no, it never happens, its old trick" and they continued arguing.
After a lot of argument aaliya got her demanded money and anjali departured
with her new family after crying in the arms of her maternal family.
Anjali was taken to her new room, settled in a bridal attire, waiting for her
groom to complete her. Kavya was soon sent upstairs but again was stopped, this
time by kripa. "now what is it"? he asked irritataed
"If you want to see anjali, pay us"
"Why do I have to pay for everything, when there mine"
"Bhai, are you giving me or not"
"ok, tell me how much you want?" he asked, with his hands in his
pockets
"umm, Rs 15,000"
He quickly handed her the money without argument "Bhai, aren't you
impatient"
"shut up kripa, now can I go in"
"of course" she moved out of the way "and good luck" she
added with a grin.
Kavya entered his room to find anjali waiting for him in her veil. He turned
and locked the door and then walking forward, he sat beside her. He slowly
lifted her veil and kissed her forehead "you look great" he whispered
"thanks" she whispered back, her eyes still lowered
He slowly lay her down in between the puffy pillows, caressing her, making her
sigh in pleasure. His mouth bellowed to hers and possessed hers. Soon he was on
the quest of removing her jewellery, touching his lips to where the jewellery
once lay and the night went on, both loving each other, possessing each other,
becoming one soul in two bodies.
Kripa stood in front of the mirror getting dressed into her pink sari, she made sure her bag had everything and placed it on her shoulder. she stepped downstairs where everyone just stared at her dumbfounded.
Radhika went to kripa and slightly holding her face said "Kripa, don't tell me your going to the school"
"mom, if you know then why are you asking"
"Kripa, it hasn't even been a day to the wedding and your goign to work. Tonight anjali's family is coming, you should stay home"
"Mom, I've already missed a week and I feel so bad, I'm not missing another week. I'm going and I'm not the one who's married so I don't have to stay home"
"when you get married, god knows what your husband will do. All you want to do is work, work and work" she complained
"mom please" she pleaded "I'm goign, I'll be back early"
"Go, its not like your going to listen to me" she said turning away
"mama" kripa flung her arms around her mother "mom, dotn get angry, I'll be back early"
"Ok, go and come back early"
"bye mama" kripa pecked radhikas cheek and set off for school.
kripa entered the staff room where dadi and angad sat recalling the wedding. kripa placed her things to a side and took a seat next to dadi "dadi I missed you" she said embracing her
"me too" she replied affectionately "but shouldn't you be at home today"
"dadi please don't start, I was bored sitting at home and bhai got married not me"
"then why don't you get married" angad replied cheekily
"ha ha ha" she said sarcastically "did anyone ask for your advice?"
"well, my advice has helped many" he answered with a smirk
"whatever"
"before you two start arguing" she turned towards kripa "you are going to masoori, with some of the school kids"
"masoori?" her face lit up
"yes, there's a dance competition, so your goign with them" she touched her cheek with a smile, whilst she watched kripa's face lighten up.
"masoori" kripa repeated again "I missed it so much"
"yeah" Maya smiled at kripa "angad's going with you"
"angad" her face fell, her curve turning into a frown.
Angad smirked, displaying his gleaming teeth "really. I'd love to see masoori" he added
"but what will he do there?" she protested
"kripa, no fighting. Angads the music teacher, so the music and song will be organized by him and we cant send one teacher, there has to be at least two, angad was the best choice, accordingly"
"but--"
"no complaints" Maya warned as kripa frowned.
"when are we going for this exciting trip?"angad asked. kripa gave angad a glare where as angad just grinned back.
"since kripa is back so early, it will be this Friday"
"ok, so we have four days" kripa calculated
"yes"
"where's the accommodation?"
"that hasn't been organized yet, but the principle will manage it"
"Dadi, I have a house in masoori. I'll take them to my house"
"but kripa"
"please dadi, I don't mind at all"
"ok, I'll talk to the principle then inform you"
"thank you dadi" she replied giving her a side hug
"your welcomed" Maya smiled "The list of students participating is in my cabinet, take it. I'll go and talk to the principle"
"ok dadi" angad replied as he watched her depart. Once she left angad turned toward kripa with a grin "so, excited?" he asked
"excited my foot" she pushed him "move out of my way"
"very bad kripa, are you going to behave like this in front of the kids"
"angad you know what--"
She was cut off "I know, I'm hot"
"shut up and give me the list" angad handed kripa the list. She smkimmed the list, whilst calculating.
"so?" she heard angad say
"what so?" she retorted
"nothing, lets go, we have to announce the trip, I've got a free lesson in the afternoon so lets do it then"
"good thinking mr khanna" she replied, walking out of the staff room
"thank you Mrs khanna"
She turned and stopped "who are you calling Mrs khanna?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention Mrs Kripa Angad Khanna"
"angad, what kind of joke is this?" she asked following him
"joke, trust me it's no joke" he looked back at her "I'll make you Mrs khanna within a few months"
"Angad be serious this is not a joke"
"come on kripa, I know you like me"
"what?" she replied, tying to act shocked "Oh please, keep dreaming Mr khanna" she replied walking ahead
"my dream will be reality soon"
"whatever" she retorted and walked into her classroom.
Later that day, kripa and angad stood together in the classroom, with the children continuously screaming and shouting about, ignoring there presence, whilst they tried to settle the hyper kids down.
"be quite kids" kripa shouted again "quieten down" they still didn't listen "I'll call the head teacher"
The kids continued roaring there noise, having no intention to stop. "angad what shall I do?"
"let me try something" he turned to towards the kids "Sit down kids, we have an announcement and then some chocolates and ice cream to distribute"
When the kids heard chocalate and icescream they immediately settled down
"angad, your spoiling them, they'll come asking for choclates and ice cream everytime, its a bad influence"
"kripa this is my style"
"yeah yeah, now start with the announcement"
"ok kids, twelve of you are going to masoori for a week for a dance competition. Me and Miss sharma will be with you on the trip"
The children again erupted with cheers, excited for the trip. Kripa smiled."there's going to be six boys and six girls, understood" the kids watched her eager;y, wanting to know who was goign "I'll announce your names, girls, come on stand beside me and boys stand beside Mr khanna, ok"
"Yes miss sharma" the kids said in unison
