It was early morning, Pragya was doing her exercises, today she doing it alone n lose her balance n gets hurt, cried for help, bulbul rush her to aaliya clinic as she was in much pain
"Why you have to do such stunts, I have advice you to do it slowly n with someone help "
"I'm tired of taking support for everything from everyone, I want to live life independently"
"I know it's frustrating, but look what have you done now?? "
"Is there any other way??? I'm really fad up of all this"
"You are doing great, don't give up now, from complete bed rest you are now at lest standing on your feet, let's try n soon you will be walking n running also"
"Hope that day comes soon, I'm bored with all this"
"Why don't you take break n go on holiday "
"Ya, seriously I need break ( thinks about Purab words, I should go to some other city so Purab sir won't bug me) but how will I manage??"
"You can go to my other Center in Mumbai n stay there, it will be relaxing "
"But Purab sir, will he allow??"
"I will talk to him"
"N how much will it cost???"
"You don't have to worry about that, you are my friend, you stay at my house with my younger sister Tanu, she is also teacher like you"
"Really that so sweet of you but I can't stay like that"
"You can, you are my friend there nothing wrong in that ok, n I will be also coming in next few days"
"But"
"Nothing doing you coming ok, let me know when you want to go ok, n one more thing you can join Tanu also, she teaches in orphanage, you will sure like there,"
" it sounds amazing but I will stay in hotel, I can't bother her "
She cuts in," what is there to bother "
"I was thinking if I get job in there then I might shift there only"
"That's great, I will talk to her n get back to you, then you can directly join"
"Thanks a lot, that will be best thing"
"But pls don't push yourself to hard, take it easy ok"
"Ya I will take care bye"
Today Pragya thought to move on, here in Pune  her past was keeping her back n not allowing her to move on, she wanted to keep all her memories back n wanted to live in present n future
Aaliya calls Purab right away
"Hey Purab "
"So she again hurt herself, why she even does that, why can't she move on in life, why she so stubborn "
She cuts in," are you mad at her???"
"Yes I'm, she has become impossible "
"Slow down Dr Purab, your problem is solved "
"What??? How???"
"I have convinced her to go Mumbai "
"Really, how??"
"She herself  agreed, I didn't had to do anything thing"
" now we move to step 2"
"Didn't I say slow down, first let her go Mumbai "
"Ya, hope it turns way we planned "
"Fingers crossed "

(When Pragya rudely told Purab that she wanted to live her life on her term he was hurt, he decided to unite abhi n Pragya by hook or by crook, n told everything to aaliya as in all these years she started trust aaliya more then anyone n he was sure if aaliya convinces her then she will go Mumbai n then somehow he make abhi meet her, then he will tell everything to abhi when abhi will confront him)

Pragya reached hospital n was in room thinking what all she said to aaliya, n talk to herself," will I be able to manage myself, what if I'm not able to take care of myself, no Pragya you have to start from something, for how long you will live in you past, you can't just keep on thinking about past, you can't live this way, you have to move on"
Just then she thinks of pari, oh god let me check mail, or she will again call n Purab sir may not like it n she open mail, again she sees old unread mails "what should I do??? Should I read them once...no Pragya just now you decided to move on n now you again want to live in past..... let me read at least once maybe that will give me confidence to look forward in life... but if you read then he will know you are alive.... so what ..... why I'm afraid of whom I don't know...... not now not today......."
Finally she open Pari mail, tears starts rolling down she started again thinking about him, "how he must be taking care of fuggie... even she must be having those types of questions in her mind.... will she also missing her mom.... or he must have given up n move on n get married... or he is still single parent n who knows he must have already knowing answers to all such questions......"
just then new mail popped, it was from him
She was tempted to open mail, she forwarded her hand to open mail n there was knock on door n she quickly turns off computer
"Can I come in??"
"Ya, sir how many times I told you no need to ask"
"Ya but I had to, what if you get angry like last time " she had not talked properly to Purab since that day
"I'm sorry sir about that day, I didn't mean to hurt you"
" you are like my little sister, I feel bad for you, my one wrong decision made your life living hell "
"How many times I told you it was my wish, I wanted money n that why I ask  for surrogacy, it was completely my decision, don't blame yourself"
"But you "
She cuts in," let's not talk about that"
"Ok fine, so you want to move to Mumbai "
"Aaliya called???"
"Yes"
"You are ok with it???"
"Of course, if that's makes you happy "
"Ya I want some change, maybe there I will find something to do with my life"
"Sure, I'm with you if you need any help, I'm just call away, I know you will do great n manage "
"Thanks I was worried that you won't allow "
"Why wouldn't I??? If this you want then I'm ok with it, n take this you ( gives her mobile) will need it, get in touch with me"
"I'm not going right away, why you being so emotional ( gives side hug) I will go next week, till then I have to work on myself " both laughed

At same time in Mumbai
Pari was having her breakfast without abhi, as he was busy in writing mail
"I'm sorry I was not able to mail in this few days, I'm so worried about our fuggie I think she is missing you badly, yesterday she was asking what if you came back, then I made her understand that is impossible but how I wish it becomes true n you actually come back then I told her everything about how we connected, she was amazed to know about surrogacy, she so innocently ask I buy her from you, then I explain her that she is a gift from you,
I think she needs woman figure in her life, I not able to make her understand her queries, why you left us, why can't you be with us,
You always had answers, god I miss you so much, I love you "
He couldn't write further, from the day they have been back from Pune he was missing her more n more, he was not able to concentrate on anything
Pari was lost in thoughts " how will I manage to bring mom back to our life, should I talk to Purab uncle, but if he tells dad directly that mom is alive, will dad believe it??? Is it that simple??? Or should I tell dad directly??"
" hey what's with you, why have you still not finished your breakfast???"
"I was waiting for you dad"
"Are you alright, I already had breakfast don't you remember??"
"Oh ya, I forgot silly me"
"Come finish fast getting late for school "
Just then her phone vibrated n abhi took it, he was shocked to see mail from same id
"Is this bulbul auntie mail??"
"Oh yes" she tells nervously
"Wait I will read it for you "
"No dad its personal you can't, it's our girly thing " she literally snatched phone from him, he was again shocked at her behaviour but didn't tell anything
She excused herself n runs to room n hides phone " come let's go it's late dad" n she starts walking abhi follows her
After dropping her he calls bulbul
"Hey can I talk to bulbul " Pragya was on other side
"She is not there, if you want then leave message for her"
"Where is she?? It's kinda urgent "
"Sorry sir but she is not in hospital. She is on leave today "
"Oh actually I wanted to know...... let it be ( he wanted to know was mail ID [email protected] is common ID used by all staff or it only belongs to Pragya n now she is using)
"Should I ask her to call back"
"Ya I think that will be better "
"Sir your name n contact number "
"I'm abhi n number 989......"
"Ok sir I will pass message "
"N you are???"
"I'm pr....wait Purab sir is here " ( he gives her files n she left)
"Hello"
"Hey Purab "
"Hi abhi, ( he was happy that at least they talked) you called on landline "
"Ya wanted to talk to bulbul "
"She is on leave, what is it?? You can Tell me"
"Nothing Just wanted to know [email protected] is common ID for all staff"
"What??? I mean why???"
" Pari just received mail from Pragya ID n she is telling its bulbul mail, I mean how is that possible "
"It is possible it's common ID" ( He was shocked to death how is that possible)
" thanks yaar I was surprised for second I thought Pragya replied n how is that possible "
" but don't worry your mails are still unread n no one will open it"
" I trust you, I didn't know all this years I thought it's her personal ID, but anyway thanks will call you later"( she comes back)
"Ok bye" he takes deep breath n thinks that means Pragya is in touch with Pari but she doesn't know she is her daughter thank god, pieces of puzzles are taking right places on its own but I will have to talk to Pari no no I should not mess around "
"Sir any problem???"
"No, n no need to tell anything about this call to bulbul"
"Means???"
"Means I will tell her, you go n do your exercises n get fit fast ok"
"Ya sure, ( thinks about pari words) you all motivated me so much, I will try my best"
N she slowly moves to her room to reply Pari
"Hey champ, you motivate me so much, I'm already feeling I'm alright, you know today I fell down n hurt myself again but no worries, I will not give up n keep on trying just for you beautiful people in my life who are looking forward to see me standing on my feet confidently, i wanted to share one thing, I might shift from here to other city by next weekend so if you're coming specially for me then pls don't come, I might be gone by then, I know you will want to know which city I'm going but I want to keep it secret as I want to be all alone for sometime, I'm sorry if this upsets you but try to understand we all need that space, pls pls don't be angry
I will be in touch with you,
How is your studies going?? Which is your favourite subject??? Mine was science n philosophy when I was in school
You are so mature for your age, so understanding, I'm so attached to you, talking to you ( she wanted to write that she reminds her of fuggie, she would be same like her) is so heart warming, I feel lite , bye for now cutie pie" after finishing By mistakenly she opened random mail from abhi
"Oh god help me, tomorrow is going to be her first day at kindergarten, how am I going to let her stay for an hour without me, how will she manage, why do I have to send her??? Pragya this is not fair, she is so small, you are not there n from tomorrow I will be also not there, how she will be without us for whole one hour, I'm afraid, how will teacher know if she gets to cold, even worst some kids bully her, she so innocent just like you, she will see others kids with their moms, how will I explain why her mother is not there, till date she never asked me but now she will see every day others kids mom will be there, why you had to leave us, why?? We missed you so much, if you were here then we both would have managed
That's it she will start schooling when she is big enough to handle herself, but whom Am i kidding that day will never come, she will always be our little munchkin
Love you always mummmmmmmm bye for now, will mail you tomorrow about her experience at school, n believe me if she cries she is not going school ever "
Now there was no stopping, she read it all( not all mails) her eyes were filled with tears now that her confusion that if he loves her was solved, she was so happy but now things were completely complicated, she can't go to him just like that nor she ask Purab specially after talking so rudely to him that day, n even if she wanted she didn't know even his name nor she had any clue about him, she thought she will have to start from somewhere n that will be Mumbai, she quickly started finding job opportunities that will fit her profile n physical condition

In evening when Pari comes home she straight goes to room to read mail, she was so touched after reading it, she wanted to reply right away but she thought she will do it after abhi goes to sleep but today he was in no mood to sleep
I kept on reading old mails right from starting n Pari was also reading with him, both were awake almost whole night, both were so busy in reading that there was no conversations between them for hours n hours, but there was constant smile on their faces, it was like they are living those moments

Hope you like it
Happy reading
