At Lunch

Pragya came to a nearby restaurant along with her other classmates and teachers. Abhi also came to the same restaurant along with Siddharth, Arjith, and Vin. Pragya smiles at him happily and Abhi winks, making her blush. His smile turns to a frown, seeing King, coming and sitting at Pragya's table. Ammu and Ruchi shrink their eyebrows in confusion, seeing King.

King: Girls, if you don't mind, can I eat lunch with you?

Pragya: Ya sure.

Pragya said, smiling hesitantly. She turned her grace towards Ammu, who was giving a are you crazy look. King starts to chat with them but the girls felt weird and uncomfortable with his talk. He was kept on talking with Pragya a lot than the other two. Abhi's blood boiled, seeing him there. Pragya turns and looks at Abhi helplessly, who was sitting there, looking at her angrily.

Everyone starts to order food. Abhi was kept on staring at Pragya's table with a glare. Inside, he was burning in jealousy, seeing Pragya chatting with King, smiling. He held the tumbler firmly. The trio looked at Abhi, who was looking at King with a murderous look.

Vin: Don't crush the tumbler. It's the hotel property.

Abhi came back to reality, hearing Vin. He let the glass and sighs angrily.

Arjith: I'm getting some burning smell.

Abhi: It's not from me.

Abhi snapped back.

Arjith: I didn't say that it's you.

Siddharth: Bhai, you can accept that you are jealous.

Abhi: It's not because of jealousy. I feel that something is not right. He doesn't seem like a good guy.

Vin: Why? He is looking handsome, good-looking.

Abhi gave a deadly glare to Vin.

Arjith: Why are you getting angry with him?

Abhi: Guys, it's not about his appearance. That guy does not seem good. I get some bad vibes from him.

Abhi said in a serious tone.

Vin: Abhi, chill. He is just her classmate. That's it.

Vin said and Abhi was kept on glaring at King.

After the Lunch

Pragya was going towards the washroom. Before she could enter, she was pulled by someone and soon lands in an isolated place. Pragya left a relief breath, seeing Abhi.

Pragya: What are you doing?

Abhi: Don't talk with him.

Pragya was taken aback, hearing it.

Pragya: You are behaving like a typical boyfriend.

Abhi: I'm serious Pragya. He doesn't seem nice.

Pragya: He is my classmate and a good guy. Don't worry.

Abhi: Just be careful. He does not seem good. I don't like him.

Pragya: I can understand your concern. But trust me. He is from a very poor family and he is a very good guy.

Abhi: What rubbish yaar? Who told you that people from poor families are good?

Pragya: I didn't mean like that. I have studied with him and I know him well.

Pragya said convincing him.

Abhi: Then your wish.

Pragya: Why don't you accept that you are jealous?

Pragya said with a pout. Abhi smirks, seeing her disappointment. He keeps his hands on both her sides, pinning her on the wall. Pragya's breath hitched, feeling his face closer to hers. He moves to her ears and nuzzles it with his nose, making her gasp.

Abhi: Yes, I'm jealous. I don't like him talking with you.

Abhi whispers and Pragya smiled in victory.

Abhi: Just try to stay away from him or else I can't assure his safety.

Pragya gasps. Abhi pulls himself out and smirks, seeing her shocking reaction.

Abhi: See you.

Abhi said with a wink and went from there, leaving Pragya in shock.

The unknown girl went to the table where Pragya was sitting. She saw Pragya's bag lying on the chair. Without anyone's knowledge, she took the bag. She opens it and took Pragya's medicines and replaces them with the medicines which she has. Before anyone could notice her, she keeps the bag on the chair and went from there. Pragya comes to her table and takes her bag. She took the medicines without knowing that it has been replaced. The girl was kept on looking at Pragya until she goes from there.

At Evening

Everyone was clicking pictures near a lake, whereas Abhi was roaming here and there, keeping an eye on Pragya. While Pragya was clicking pictures, she saw King coming towards her with his hands at his back.

King: Pragya...

Pragya: Yes King, do you need any help?

King: I need to tell you something.

King starts hesitantly. Abhi, who was Pragya along with King, goes near them so that he could hear whatever they speak. Abhi clenched his hand in anger.

Pragya: What?

King brings his hands out and Pragya was taken aback, seeing a flower in his hands.

King: From the first day of our college, I'm in love with you Pragya. You were such a beautiful and amazing girl and I wasn't able to stop myself from falling for you.

King said and kneels in front of her.

King: I love you Pragya.

Pragya was standing there helplessly.

Pragya: I'm sorry King.

King's face falls, hearing her. Abhi's face becomes brighter.

Pragya: I can see that you love me, but I can't love you.

King: Why Pragya?

King asked, getting up. She could see his disappointment and sad face.

King: Why can't you love me? Is it is because I'm poor and I'm not your status?

Pragya: It's not like that. I can't love you because I'm already in love with someone.

I'm sorry.

Pragya said softly and King's face becomes pale.

King: It's okay.

King said in a low tone and puts the flower on the ground. Pragya felt bad, seeing him.

King: Would you stop talking with me?

King asked and Pragya smiles.

Pragya: You are always my friend.

Pragya said and King's lips curved to a small smile. Abhi felt little relief, seeing it.

Once King left from there, Abhi went towards Pragya.

Abhi: What did he say?

Abhi asked pretending like he doesn't know.

Pragya: Nowadays you are becoming a liar.

Pragya said offended.

Abhi: What? Me?

Pragya: I saw you standing there and listening to us and I know that you were watching everything.

Pragya said, keeping her hands on her hip, and Abhi chuckles.

Pragya: Don't laugh, Mr. Naughty.

Abhi: Mr. Naughty?

Pragya: Yes, you are becoming naughty.

Abhi: Oh! Okay, then let me show my naughtiness.

Abhi said and wraps his hand around Pragya's waist. He pulled her towards him and Pragya's eyes became wider, seeing his action.

Abhi: Shall I act like Mr. Naughty?

Abhi asked in a husky tone.

Pragya: Someone might see us.

Abhi: I don't care.

Pragya chuckles and pushed him. Shooking her head, she continues to click pictures. Suddenly, Pragya felt dizzy. She stumbles and Abhi went towards her and held her firmly.

Abhi: What happened? Are you alright?

Abhi asked panicked.

Pragya: I'm fine. It's just that I'm tired.

Pragya said, trying to steady herself.

Abhi: Come with me.

Abhi took her and made her sit on the nearby bench. He took the water bottle from his bag and made her drink it.

Abhi: Take a breath. Relax.

Pragya breaths and relaxes.

Abhi: Better?

Abhi asked and Pragya nods.

Abhi: I think it would be better if you go to your room and take some rest.

Pragya: No. I have to click some more pictures.

Abhi: You are not feeling well.

Pragya: I will be fine.

Abhi looked at her with a stern look and Pragya gave a puppy look.

Abhi: Okay fine. But go after some time.

Abhi said and Pragya nods.

At Night

Pragya was lying on the bed, feeling drowsy.

Ammu: How are you feeling now?

Pragya: Same.

Pragya said tiredly.

Ruchi: Let's tell ma'am.

Pragya: No. I will be fine once I sleep.

Pragya said and closes her eyes.

Ammu: Okay fine.

They switch off the lights and lies down on the bed.

The girl: I replaced her medicines.

Dharmesh: Good. Did you see any changes?

The girl: Yes, she was tired the entire day.

Dharmesh: That's good to hear. Did anyone get any doubt on you?

The girl: No. Everything is under the control. She won't know the truth.

Dharmesh: Good. Do you have any idea how it will work?

The girl: It has started now only. It will take some days to show full effect.

Dharmesh: Ok, keep watching her and update me.

The girl: I will.

Dharmesh hung the call and smirks.
