Abhi was lost in his own world. The last time, it was she kissed him. And today he kissed her. He only kissed her on cheek. It still feels magical.

Abhi "You really have to stay in control Abhi! Yes it's normal to be overwhelmed by seeing her doing something that you love the most. But still to express your happiness you shouldn't have kissed her!" He says to himself.

Pragya on the other hand was still unable to recover from the feel of his kiss. This time it was a kiss when he was in his senses and full of happiness.

She thinks back how excited he looked seeing the gift she gave him.

An hour ago,

Pragya held his hand and brought him to the balcony.

Abhi was standing clueless when she opened his blindfold.

Pragya "Can you see it?"

Abhi was looking in amazement. It was his favourite kite! How did she manage to make it fly up the sky without his knowledge??

Pragya "Before you ask anything, let me tell you that I saw your kite at your room the first time I came in. I saw it lifeless. I know you like Kites as I have seen your keychain with a kite picture, your desk area have kite post aids. Hmm....what else? Haan!! Your wallpaper on laptop is a kite too!"

Abhi looks surprised that how she managed to noticed all this!

Pragya smiling pleasantly said "You must fly high as the kite and I would like to be the string that holds you up in the sky."

All of a sudden, Abhi kissed her cheek happily and thanked her for doing such a sweet gesture.

Pragya sat down on the couch with the shock of him kissing her cheek suddenly.

Abhi looked back and realized what he had done.

He quickly left his room and she remained there sitting down.

Pragya caressing her cheeks said "More to go Pragya....this is just the beginning Abhalien....."

Abhi who was now at the other room, thought "Again you are crossing your limits Abhi. You have clearly defined in what basis you agree to marry Pragya. It's only for a short period of time. In that way, how can you do silly things like this which will confuse her!"

Abhi felt, "It is hard to decide on what are the ways I can avoid her as it can cause her to be worried. It is better for me to maintain a decent friendly relation with her."

Pragya made a call. Pragya "Yes, thank you for the help. It would be great if it happens right in front of Abhi."

Pragya thanks a person in phone and turns around to see Purab standing there looking clueless.

Purab "Who were you taking to Pragya?"

Pragya "Nobody Purab....just a wrong number." She says and looks away.

Purab "To a wrong number, you will mention Abhi's name? That's very strange Pragya....."

Pragya "I was kidding. It is not a wrong number. It was my friend. Anyways, is Ma calling me? I think I am here for quite long....."

She says and walks towards the door.

Purab stops her by holding her hand.

Pragya "Purab! Let's go! Ma will be waiting for us!"

Purab "You are lying to me. You know you can't lie to me!"

Pragya "Oh Purab! I was playing with you. You know how many times we have done like this right?"

Purab "That is different Pragya. Now you are not even trying to maintain an eye contact with me. It means you are lying."

Pragya "Purab....It's...." she stammered.

Purab "Please Pragya, don't hide anything from me. We have enough problems going on in our lives."

Pragya "I will tell you later. Now we need to go and see Ma first."

Purab "Okay, let's meet at the garden area after lunch."

Pragya nods her head and Purab hoped she wasn't hiding anything big from him.

At the garden after lunch,

Purab "What are you saying Pragya??"

Pragya "I am telling the truth Purab. I am going to marry him to take revenge for what had happened to us!"

Purab "Why Pragya? I know you are not the type of girl who thinks to take revenge and do something bad."

Pragya smirks and walks further away.

Purab "Pragya, are you telling this with something else in mind?"

Pragya turns back and looks at him.

Pragya "There is nothing in my mind except for the revenge I need to take for what Abhi's father did to us!"

Purab "That's past Pragya....Only the two of us know that he was responsible for our father to die. Even Ma doesn't know about this. And it's all fate Pragya....."

Pragya "Fate? No way Purab. Everything can't be fated to happen."

Purab "Okay let it be.....but you see Abhi is innocent. He doesn't know about Mr Mehra causing the death of our Dad."

Pragya "He will know it through me."

Purab "Pragya, initially even though I felt you are adamant in marrying Abhi, I was happy somewhere in my heart, thinking that you love him....but now you are doing it with a wrong intention. This is not good for all of us!"

Pragya looked away. She did loved him. She can't deny that. But when it comes to her family suffering, Mr Mehra has a huge part in it. So she decided to use her love for Abhi to complicate Mr Mehra's mind. She is following Abhi's way.

Purab "I will tell Ma now to stop this wedding. It shouldn't happen with hatred."

Pragya "If you tell about this to Ma, then you will not see me alive Purab!"

Purab was stunned hearing her words.

He never knew his sister would think this way. He was feeling worried now for Abhi and his family. 

Pragya saw Abhi approaching them from distance.

Pragya starts to smile pleasantly and Purab "You are smiling?? How could you Pragya?"

Pragya signals him to stay quiet. Abhi was right behind Purab when Purab said "I won't allow this marriage to happen!!!"

Abhi tapping his shoulder "Looks like you are back to square one again...."

Purab jerked seeing him and Abhi said "Pragya, what happened now that your brother don't want our marriage to happen?"

Pragya smiles strangely and looks at Purab.

Purab "Abhi, please consider about this marriage. I know both of you can't get along well."

Pragya hearing it made a sulky face.

Abhi "It was never decided by me Purab. Your sister made me decide this. I hope you can see the difference here. By the way, now don't talk about stopping this marriage Purab. Please leave aside your worries. We will work on it to be better. We can right Pragya??"

Pragya nods her head by smiling pleasantly.

Purab "No Abhi....she is...."

Pragya "Purab, stop spreading negative vibes. Everyone is happy about this marriage. Can't you see the happiness of Ma and Dadi? They are eagerly expecting for this marriage."

Abhi "Purab, she is right. Let this happen first. Whatever happens after this, both of us are responsible for it."

Purab to himself felt, "I am feeling for  whatever happens from now onwards will be responsible by only Pragya....."

Abhi "Purab....actually I came here for Pragya. I need to talk to her...."

Purab "Then talk...."

Abhi "I want to talk to her in private."

Pragya smiles while Abhi looks at Purab with an I am sorry expression.

Purab "Okay, I have to make a call too....Carry on...." He says with lost expression and leaves from there.

Abhi "What's wrong with him? Why is he being different?"

Pragya shrugged her shoulder as if she don't know.

Pragya "Purab!!!" She called loudly.

Purab turned behind and looks at Pragya.

Pragya "Remember Purab....if you say what I said then you won't see me!"

Abhi looks at her and asked "What do you mean?"

Pragya "It's not for you. It's for my lovable brother. He will understand it."

Purab was silent. He could only nod his head and walk away from there.

From a distance, he saw them laughing and talking cheerfully.

Purab "Why does she have to be like this? Abhi is willing to give a try to this relationship and she is trying to make it worse with her intentions. How am I going to stop this?"

He wonders by looking worriedly at them.

It is hard to decide on how this wedding can be stopped now!

Sneek peek to next part,
Purab "How can you let them go alone?" Sarla ma "What's wrong in that? Very soon both are getting married to each other. She was feeling bored and I felt it will be good if Abhi brings her out." Purab panicked and decides to find where they went.

He rushed out of his house and receives a call from a person known to him.

"Hello...Purab! It's me! I saw Pragya and him entering into the hotel room. What if Pragya does something unthinkable now?"

Hearing that Purab further worries about what was Pragya up to now.
