After Two Years

In Delhi

In a stadium

The stadium was looking like a boxing stadium with a lot of crowds. All were cheering the man, who was punching his opponent furiously. The man was looking big and gigantic, and all the other players were very nervous to even near him. After beating the opponent, the man shouted in victory, whereas everyone screamed his name as "Beem".

"Who's the next?" The money collector asked, counting the cash he has.

"Ten thousand." A man said, keeping ten thousand rupees cash on the table. The money collector lifted his head, and Purab was standing there with a casual look. The man looked Purab from top to bottom, whereas he gave a confused look.

"Don't you think that ten thousand is too much?"

"Why? Are you afraid?"

"Why I have to? Will you survive after the match?" The man asked whereas Purab laughed.

"You have misunderstood. I'm not going to play, but my brother will do it for me. And, let's see whether your Beem is alive after this match." Purab said confidently and turned his grace towards the match.

Abhi got inside the ring, whereas Beem shouted. Abhi stood there with a stern look. Beem closed his fist and got ready for the match, whereas Abhi positioned himself. The referee blows the whistle, and the game has started.

Beem gave a hard punch on Abhi's right cheek, whereas Abhi strumbled. Everyone there gave an "Ooh!" sound. Purab turned towards the cash collector, who was smirking at him. Abhi got steadied, when he was about to approach him, Beem gave another punch.

"I said na ten thousand is too much. Look."

"Don't judge so quickly, Mr."

Abhi tightened his fist, and when Beem was about to punch him, he hit him harder, making him fall. The whole stadium became silent, whereas Purab smiled victoriously. Beem again got up and was about to beat Abhi, but he gave another continuous punch, making him 'out' of the game.

Abhi went towards Beem and handcuffed him. He lifted him and took him along with him, making everyone to gasp in shock. He went towards the cash collector, who was standing there with a shocking face. "Your stadium has been sealed for doing physical assault."

"Why, sir?" The man asked with nervous.

"Your player has killed a person, and you people have hurt the policeman who came to enquire about it. It is a criminal offense." Abhi said, taking the man. Purab was about to go, but the cash collector pulled him.

"Who is he?"

"Abhishek Prem Mehra. Deputy Commissioner of Police." The man gasps in shock, whereas Purab went from there.

On the other side

In a Flat

We can see Sarla cooking in the kitchen. She heard calling bell sound and went to open the door. Her lips curved to a pleasant smile, seeing the person outside.

"Come in, Gauri beta." Gauri smiled and entered into the house.

"Good morning ma, where is Pragya?"

"She is getting ready in her room. Did you ate your breakfast?"

"As usual no."

"How much time I have told you not to be with an empty stomach."

"I know ma, but hostel food is terrible, and I can't eat that crab," Gauri said sulking.

"Why don't you move in here? We would also get a company."

"It would be nice, but I have already paid the fees. So, I have to stay there or the money paid would be wasted. Ma, let me go and see Pragya." Gauri said and went towards Pragya's room, whereas Sarla went to the kitchen, to continue cooking.

Gauri entered the room and saw Pragya sitting with a sorrowful face. She had Viraj and her's photo in her hand. Gauri signed, knowing the reason. "Why are you sitting like this?"

"Today is the day when we first met. We used to celebrate this day." Pragya sais with a broken voice, whereas Gauri sat next to her. She rubbed Pragya's back, trying to make her feel comfortable.

"Pragya, I can understand what you are going through. But you have to move on. Life doesn't stop, and you also should not."

Pragya wiped her face and got up. She continued to get ready, whereas Gauri saw her with a blank look. "Ask mom whether the food is ready. After eating, we could move out." Pragya said, controlling her tears.

Gauri went towards her and back hugged her, whereas Pragya burst into tears. "Everything will be alright. You will come out of this sorrow soon." Gauri consolated Pragya.

Abhi came to his house and got surprised, seeing Akash there. "Akash?" Akash came towards Abhi and gave him a hug and Abhi also hugged him in return.

"You people forgot me na." They all heard Rachana's voice.

"You are also here?" Abhi asked, hugging her, whereas she smiled.

"I got a transfer to Delhi sir."

"And I got company," Purab said, entering into the house.

"Ok, you all guys take rest, let me leave," Abhi said and went towards his room, making Rachana frown.

"Hai, relax, you know about him na," Purab said.

"But I can't leave him like this."

Abhi was working on his laptop. "When have you started to avoid us, Abhi." Abhi turned, hearing Rachana's voice.

"Nothing like that Rachana. Just I have some work to do."

"Oh, really," Rachana asked sarcastically. "Then why are you not even taking concern about Purab."

"Nothing like that. I'm paying his fees well, and I'm ensuring whether he is good in his studies or not."

"I'm not speaking about your responsibilities. I know you are the best in it. What about your concern as a big brother. Do you know how much he misses you, and how much we miss you?" Rachana said sadly, whereas Abhi signed. "Abhi, it's been two years, and still now you are the same. I know that you didn't come out of the incident. Life has to move, Abhi."

"The Abhi for whom you are searching is dead. Now, I'm Deputy Commissioner, that's it." Abhi said with a blank expression.

"Do you think we are happy? Or are you?"

"Is there is any necessity for me to be happy. Rachana, I don't want to speak about it." Abhi said and went from there.

After Maya's death, Abhi became like a living stone. He buried all of his feelings and emotions inside himself. He's lost himself when Maya died. As per him, his life is meaningless. He has no reason to live in this world. When he shifted to Delhi, Purab is the only one who always used to be along with him. He tried all his way to bring Abhi out of the sadness, but he was not able to succeed in it.

For Pragya, she lives her life only for Sarla. She started a daycare center for kids so that she can divert her mind, seeing children. Sarla has no one for her other than Pragya. After transferring to Delhi, Pragya met her old friend Gauri. Gauri helped Pragya to settle in Delhi.

Pragya tries all her way t forget Viraj but fails miserably. His memories haunt her, making her vulnerable.

Both of them lost the reason to live—life became a living hell for them.

On that Night

Pragya was walking in the road alone to get an auto. It took time for her to close her center. Gauri went early, so Pragya had no other choice other than going alone. While she was walking, she noticed a man standing in front of her. Her breath hitched, seeing him.

"Hi, Bhabhi," Nikkil said in a creepy tone. "It's too bad that you and mom left the town without saying goodbye."

"I gave you whatever you asked, then why are you following me?" Pragya asked nervously.

"Will you give me whatever I asked?" Pragya started to shiver, hearing him. "Come, let me take you to my place."

"I won't come."

"Look, why are you suffering here. If you come with me, then I would give you a life every girl wishes. Don't be stubborn." Nikkil said with a smirk, whereas Pragya started to breath heavier. She ignored him and started to walk, making Nikkil furious.

Pragya speeded her footsteps, whereas Nikkil followed her. "Don't try to escape from me. I won't leave you." Pragya continued to walk, with the hope that she would be safe. Suddenly she bumped into a hard chest. She looked up, and Abhi was standing there, seeing her. Both felt familiar with each other but doesn't remember where they met.

"Stop running. Come with me." Nikkil said whereas Pragya looked at Abhi. Abhi could see the fear in her eyes. She was looking with pleading eyes.

"Who are you to her?" Abhi asked Nikkil.

"Who are you to ask it? It is none of your business."

"Yes, it is," Abhi said with a stern look.

"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to show your heroism."

"No. I think we need an introduction. I'm Abhishek Prem Mehra, DCP." Abhi said whereas Nikkil's face drained, seeing his deadly glare.

Pragya felt relieved, hearing Abhi. Nikkil gave a glare to Pragya and went from there. Abhi turned and looked at Pragya, who saw him with relief happiness.
