Thank you guys for your wishes and special thanks to the people who messaged me and texted me in PC. About 90 people wished me and it was quite a suprise for me.. and reaching more than 900 + followers which is quite a success , according to me... once again..  HAPPY B-DAY TO ME....😂😂😂😂

We have to choose a path to lead our life which was already planned by the destiny. Yet we have to choose the right path which might be tougher , harder than you think , maybe you feel like weaken or worser than that;  still to reach the right destination ; we have to take all the things that comes in line.

          Pragya and Abhi were standing infront of the inspector who is checking all the details and still pragya was not convinced by abhi's words. She had a huge fight with her heart and brain and agrees to his idea because she can't even imagine her mother waking up this late night with a panicking look. And Abhi also had pleaded her to think about his dadi. She is not only doing for her mother but also for his dadi who helped him in this night when no one came to help her.

" All the formalities have been cleared , now you sign these papers and some rituals are there to complete.." the inspector said turning the ledger towards them who is in the state of shock.

Abhi's fingers trembled to pick the pen from the table as it's his first time , doing something like this without discussing with his dadi. He had to do this for the betterment of their life and can't take a back step as he did a lot to convince her.

Without thinking a minute later as his mind started to question him ; he takes the pen and signs it as fast as much he can.

Pragya looks at him who is trying hard to control his emotions while signing the papers. She knew because of her , he is in this worst situation. He is looking like a rich guy and might have many dreams to achieve not to marry a middle class , normal girl like her. Pragya tries to calm herself that it's just for a couple of months.

To leave from here as soon as possible,  Pragya takes the pen from him and signs all the papers. She gives back to the inspector and stood beside abhi nervously.

" Okay..!! Now it's time for some Indian ritual..!!" He took the mangalsutra as pragya looked at abhi in shock.

" Are you confused that why an inspector would have these things ? " he asked raising his eyebrow at pragya who nods gently . He continues saying " many people come here to register their marriage like you most probably because of their parents..!! And you are one among them..!! Maybe if this had happened in my life , I might not have been still a bachelor...!!" He laughs as he said a joke but his pain is visible clearly in his eyes.

Abhi takes it not wanted to again make a fuss or make them believe that he loves this girl. But hardly he knew , no girl would enter his dark world.

Pragya turns towards abhi ; facing towards him , her legs stumbles may be due to the fear she has on her mother while gently raised her head to have a look at abhi who was actually not less than in her state.

He tied the mangalsutra around her neck and dips the coin inside the kumkum box and takes it towards her maang to fill it. Again he looked at her where he could only see tears which were not out of happiness.

He fills her maang gently while pragya closed her eyes as tear drop escaped from her eyes touching her soft cheek.

" Congrats !! You both are married!! " Everyone claps their hands in unison making pragya to get embarrass more.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

" Finally we are out from big trouble !! Atlast we are out from police station...!!" Abhi said cheerfully looking around. He turns to her who was immersed in her thoughts while gazing at the mangalsutra which is clinging around her neck.

" Come on Pragya!! This is just a part of our drama .!! Don't keep on thinking about this and concentrate on your studies!!! Give me your number!!! " he said taking his phone from his side pocket.

" Why..?" She asked suddenly snapping out from her thoughts hearing his voice.

" I have to call you after the completion of six months to apply divorce!! Remember it !!" He tells while pragya thinks how he could become normal within few minutes . She exchanged her number with him and he saved it in his phone contact list.

" Okay...!! Should I drop you..!!" He asked with a smile.

" No..I will go by myself..!! And again.." she tells standing infront of him " thank for everything " her voice was plain yet intense.

" That's fine and go safe..!! Message me once you reach your hostel !! * before pragya could enquire him why * because now you are my responsibility " he said inserting his palms inside his side pockets slipping his phone inside.

She saw him who is walking on the door enjoying himself in the dark filled roads and remembers about her family. She took her phone from her bag and was extremely shocked to see 200 missed calls . Her battery is also about to die and instantly she unlocks the screen.

The first name she saw was Adi who had called her 148 times and rest of them is from her mother and mostly from bulbul . She dials Adi's number as it's not going to be safe for her to leave alone .

Within few rings , he picks the call with the panic voice filled her ears " Pragya...!! Where are you idiot..!! Can't you pick the call dammitt ...!! " she closed her eyes trying to control her tears.

" I got messed up at last minute..!! Please come and pick me..!! Adi!!! I am dying in cold..!!" She said trying to keep herself warm.

" I will let you die for snatching my beauty sleep from me...!!" He tells with a childish voice and pragya could say he is getting on her nerves.

" Please Adi! !" Pragya pleads him but im reply he cuts the call. She knew he will come and there is no more troubles and again checks at her mangalsutra.

Did she even imagined of getting married at this age without informing her family. She wiped the kumkum from the part line because adi should not get doubt on her.

It's going to be a secret between abhi and her. The one which is going to be hidden for few months.

Within few minutes , Adi came there in his motorbike where pragya was standing alone in that road infront of the police station.

" What you are doing infront of the police station? " he asked taking her bags from her who settled behind him.

She didn't prepared what to tell Adi when he reaches her. Its very hard to hide something from him which she never did in these years. He can solve her problems easily but it's going to be complicated and will complicate her life even more.

Coming up with an excuse , she tells " Actually some guy ripped my bag from my hands when I was waiting for an auto..!! Thank god every one caught them and handed over to the police..." though it looked filmy she can't find any other better excuse.

" All were sorted out right...!! You okay...!!" He asked turning back towards her who nods in acceptance.

" Yes I am fine..!! Take me to the hostel !! I am already tired..!" She tells keeping her head on his shoulder to give rest for her whole body after committing a big sin,  marriage.

Abhi reached his farm house where he is staying from the first day of his college. It's been three years , he is staying alone without anyone. His dadi and aliya always ask him to come home but being a stubborn kid and to have no emotions for anyone , he denied it . But no one knew the real reason behind this unless purab and sidharth.

He opens the main door and walked inside checking his phone whether pragya had called him. He doesn't know why he have to make sure that she is not again in the same situation. He didn't even enquired about her college or her hostel and felt stupid to leave her alone who convinced him in less than minute.

" Thank god Abhi !! You came back man..!!" Sidharth said and shouts purab to come back to hall. Purab comes there and both were exchanging glances of whom gonna ask first.

" Where were you...? Dadi called me and enquired about you because you didnt pick her call...!!" Said sidharth giving a glass of water to abhi.

Abhi sits on the sofa taking the glass of water from sid and gulps it immediately. He felt an unknown relief inside as the water touches his throat slowly. His mind got relaxed and everything looked like a dream for him.

" Abhi bhai...!! You know what's the time now..?" Purab asked sitting beside him. He checked his temperature and he was normal.

" I just went for a walk..!! " Abhi said removing his shoes bending down.

" Bhai...!! What happened to you..?" Everything okay...? " asked purab looking at sidharth with longing look.

" Nothing big purab..!! Again I saw that man and only my anger got increased! !" Said abhi fisting his fingers remembering the scene.

" Abhi...!!" Sidharth sits beside abhi and tells " You know right.. this is the truth.. you cant run from this and try to face it.. at least for us ... you should forget him abhi..." he said hugging him from one side as purab hugged from other side.

" Don't worry bhai..!!! I will kill him if he thinks to do something bad to you or our family ...!! " purab said kissing his right cheek.

" What the hell are you doing purab..?" Asked abhi pushing him aside as purab starts to run from there while abhi and sid starts to chase after him.

💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Pragya reached her room taking all her luggages and Adi helped her in the stairs.

" Thank god..!! I reached here..!!! " pragya said knocking the room's door.

" One minute..!! Someone is knocking the door...!!" They heard a girl's voice on the other side and the door flungs open.

" Hey I am Pragya!! " said pragya forwarding her hand while the girl caught hold of it immediately.

" Oh hey..!! I am Tanu...!! " said that girl smiling widely. Adi settles the luggage inside the room and came towards pragya who laughed at his hairstyle. He frowns at her while she immediately hugs him.

" Your boyfriend!!" Asked Tanu looking at their bond as pragya and Adi got separated.

" Yah..!! I am her boy - friend !! " adi tells clearing his throat side hugging pragya who gently hits him on his shoulder.

" Actually he is my childhood friend !! " said pragya as her phone vibrates a little.

She looks at her phone and it's a message from unknown number. She didn't care first and continued to chat with adi and tanu while again her phone viberates many times now.

" Okay pragya ..!! I am leaving from here so that you both can sleep and will see you tomorrow in college..!!" Tells Adi waving bye to them.

She wishes ' good night ' to tanu and slams on the bed thinking of this most important day in her life. She again traced the mangalsutra in between her soft dedicate fingers taking it close to her heart.

Her phone again viberates and this time she unlocked the phone. 8 messages from only one number , Abhi.

Abhi  : where are you..?
Why you are not picking the call..?
What the hell happening with you..?
Are you okay..?

Did you reached hostel safely..?
Why the hell you are not answering my message..?

It's Abhi..?

Should I come there..?

      Pragya types with fear as he might call her again.

Pragya : I reached safe !! Ty😊 sorry I didnt noticed your message as I was busy in chatting with my new friend 😅😅

      She waits for his reply and seconds' passed to minutes. Pragya thought may be he would have slept when she didnt messaged him.

Her phone viberates again.

Abhi : thank god.. you just texted me back ..
I was just thinking about you..
Because now you are in my responsibility

He again repeats the words and it only irked pragya to the core.

Pragya : thank you for your concern and good night..!!

  Without waiting for his reply , she switched off the side lamps and lays on her bed keeping the phone near her bed and closed her eyes.

Will they meet again...?
