"She is pregnant? Woah! She never mentioned having a boyfriend! Maybe it's gastric? Ask the doctor to check properly naah!" he told Aaliya. There was something definitely amiss. Fuggy couldn't be pregnant! No, not as in there is something wrong with her, but who is the baby daddy? Is it that guy she met when she had returned late to her home when he had come to visit? Naah, she can't have a boyfriend, she practically spends all her time at his place, when would she have the time to meet a guy and do this "thing"?!

"No Bhai, it's not gastric. She is indeed pregnant." replied Aaliya looking straight into his eyes. The beyond-a-doubt confidence in her eyes bothered him, it made him trust Aaliya's not-so-pleasing-words. So Fuggy was indeed pregnant? But then they needed to find baby daddy! Fuggy was unmarried and single and came from an orthodox background, her folks wouldn't be able to take this shame!

"But who is the baby daddy?" he asked with uncertainty.

"You" she replied curtly.

"You know you've got to give me some answers!" Abhi found himself telling this to Fuggy while she was lying on the hospital bed looking at him with apologetic eyes.

"I am not pregnant" she replied weakly, knowing well he wouldn't buy that – not when that Aaliya had got so many proves to show against her. She had apparently fed Abhi with the lie that, that night when Abhi was dead drunk and Nikita was helping him back home, she had taken advantage of his vulnerability and had made this baby. She knew Aaliya had convinced Abhi one more time that Nikita was nothing but a cheat who wanted a place of permanence in his lavish life. And if she had proven to Abhi that Pragya was pregnant and the baby was his, she would be successful in manipulating him beyond a doubt!

"That's not true. You are pregnant" he replied quietly.

"I am not." She tried again with whatever energy she was left with.

"You mean the reports are a lie? All of the four tests we did from different places? All are faulty or rigged?" he asked with a tone of disbelief clear in his tone. She realized Aaliya had gone way out of her way to win his trust – there was little she could do.

"Fine. Let's say for argument sake, I am pregnant! But let me assure you, that you are not the father of this child! So it's not your worry. You can------" but he cut her short.

"I know I am not the father of this child. But don't worry, I haven't said a word outside. I thought I will know the full truth from you and then go out and accept this child as mine. I thought we should be on the same page before meshing this web of lie" he said understandingly. Strangely there was no tone of anger or distrust in his voice.

"You will accept? Why?" Pragya questioned back surprised.

"Well obviously because your baby daddy has dumped you Fuggy! I know you wouldn't have taken my name unless there was something really wrong. The point is I won't make the mistake of not trusting you again – we can keep this charade of me being baby daddy on, while under the cover we look for the real daddy! Fuggy just tell me where he is, I will break his bones if he ditches you – I will make him accept you and the baby!" he replied indignantly before placing a soft peck on her forehead and walking out.

Pragya could only smile seeing his unfaltering faith on her. Now Aaliya would have a hard time when Abhi instead of mistrusting her, would claim the child is his! Pragya was relieved, his wedding with Tanu will be stalled for a while, and now Aaliya would do Pragya's job of bringing out her truth! That she isn't pregnant! It was a win for her both ways!
