Hello everyone!
Happy Ugadi.
Thanks for the votes and comments.
Sorry if this is boring.
Here is chapter 4.

Chapter 4:
Abhi's pov:
The sound of my annoying alarm broke my precious slumber. What? I was preparing myself for the evening by sleeping. I looked at the clock and sighed. The time was 5 in the evening, which means I need to get ready and pick up Pragya to leave for wedding.
I still don't want to see my love getting married to someone else but my stupid mouth destroyed everything. Could I bear seeing them together?
With these thoughts, I got up from my bed and went to shower hoping the warm water would soothe my nerves. After showering, I went to my closet to find myself a dress.
After dressing up, I looked myself in the mirror one last time and walked out of the room.
"Abhi beta." I heard a voice call me. I turned to my left to see Daadi standing there, with a soft smile on her face.
"Yes Daadi." I said, walking towards her.
"Sarala ji just called me and told about Pragya's decision. I am really happy for you beta. My last wish is fulfilled." She said genuinely, caressing my cheek.
I smiled softly seeing her happy. If me getting married to Pragya makes Daadi happy, I would marry her in a blink.
"I am glad I made you happy, Daadi." I said as I hugged her. Quite frankly, I didn't know what to say after seeing my Daadi smiling happily.
"Where are you going, beta?" She asked, looking at my outfit.
Err, would Daadi mind if I said that I was going with Pragya?
"Daadi, I am going to my friend's wedding." I said nervously.
"Oh, are you going with your friend's beta?" She asked.
Man, Daadi doesn't give up. Does she?
"No, actually I am going with...Pragya." I said hesitantly.
"Ooh, Pragya. Well, I hope you guys have fun but not too much fun..ya know. Wait until your wedding." She said, wiggling her eyebrows.
I choked on my own and warm blush made its way to my face.
When did Daadi become so...naughty?
"Daadi!" I whined.
She laughed and went to her room while I started going towards my car to go to Pragya's house. After a drive of thirty minutes, a similar house came into my view making me stop my car. Should I go in or call Pragya?
After a minute of thinking, I sighed and got down of the car. I pressed the door bell and waited nervously outside the door.
Abhi, chill! This is not a date!
Sarala aunty opened the door with a frown on her face. My face paled instantly.
"Namaste aunty." I greeted her.
"Oh, Namaste beta. Please come in." She said politely.
I made my way into the living room and sat down on the chair awkwardly.
"Pragya told me that you're going to the wedding. I am assuming you will take care of her and when will you be back?" She asks sternly.
I gulped seeing her expression. It was scary.
Before I could reply, a voice interrupted me.
"Ma, please don't embarrass me." Pragya whined, adjusting her duppata. (AN: All of there outfits are in the above picture .)
Every single thought I had seemed to just vanish after taking in her appearance. Words could not describe what I am feeling about her right now.
She was looking beautiful.
"Pragya, I am not embarrassing you. As a mother, I need to look after you and know at what time you're coming. It is my responsibility." Sarala aunty said.
"But ma..I already told you I will be back soon." Pragya whined. She looked so adorable.
That's it Abhi. You lost it!
"Yes, you did but I want to hear it from Abhi's mouth. So Abhi tell me." Sarala aunty demanded.
"Sorry ..what?" I said taking my eyes off Pragya. A smirk made its way to Sarala aunty's face. Dammit, she saw me staring at her!
"I was asking when will you bring Pragya back home?" She said, still smirking.
"Err, I am not sure aunty but I promise i will bring her back as soon as I can and will keep her safe." I said, still embarrassed.
Sarala aunty seemed satisfied with my answer since she nodded and smiled at me.
"Call me Ma." She said, going into the kitchen.
I was shocked and looked at Pragya to see her shocked as well. Ma?
"Abhi, shall we leave?" Pragya asked, smiling slightly after recovering from the slight shock.
I nodded and we started leaving after she waved bye to Sarala ma and Daadi. She sat in the car adjusting herself to be comfortable.
"So how long is the venue." She asked.
"I guess it's an hour." I replied.
Can I compliment her or would it be weird?
"Sounds cool." She said and turned towards her left seeing the scenery. I sighed and started driving, turning the radio on.
There was silence but it was no where near comfortable. It was ..awkward.

Pragya's pov:
Awkward.
This is the only thing I am feeling right now.
Why did he invite me if we were just driving silently? I could have watched chota bheem instead of this silence.
"Hmm so..do you want to play twenty questions?" I asked, breaking the silence.
"Twenty questions? What's that?" He asked, curiously.
"It's simple. Just like the name sounds, we ask each other twenty questions to get to know each other." I said, smiling.
He seemed hesitant but nodded nevertheless making me grin.
"Perfect. Do you want to start?" I asked
He nodded and it started our conversation. By the time the game was done, we were ten minutes away from the venue. And I learnt many things from the game. I got to know that this favorite color was black, he liked the coffee made by his Daadi, likes music which made him rockstar, likes traveling and much more. I told him that my favorite color is blue, I liked reading, and desserts are my favorite. I was glad we were getting to know each other. I saw that we reached the venue judging the decorations. Abhi stopped the car and we got down of the car.
"By the way, you look beautiful." He whispered in my ear.
Two pink dots made its way onto my cheeks and I mumbled a shy thank you. He grinned and holded my hand softly. I was too shocked and didn't notice we were going in. I enjoyed the decorations of the venue after the holding hand thing cooled down. It was probably to make my feel comfortable. The interiors were pretty. There were so many people there, dressed in extravagant clothes and suddenly I felt self conscious about myself. I hope Abhi didn't feel embarrassed by me being with him.
"Abhi!" I heard a voice, making me jerk. I saw a girl walking towards us, grinning widely. Abhi's grip on my hand tightened making me frown.
What's wrong? Did he know her?
"I didn't think you would come." She said softly. And when I watched her closely, I realized she was the bride. She was pretty. I looked at Abhi and saw him looking at her with love and longing, making me feel awkward. But that look was replaced with stone, cold eyes.
"I promised. Didn't i? This is Pragya." He said, wrapping an arm around my waist. I suddenly felt uncomfortable by everything but smiled nevertheless.
"Hello, I am Pragya." I said, politely.
Her eyes lit up hearing my name. "Hello, I am Tanu!" She grinned.
I smiled. She seemed happy and nice.
"Nice to meet you. And congratulations on your wedding." I said, smiling.
"Thanks, hon. I don't think Abhi told you about me. I was his.." She said before a voice interrupted.
"Friend. She is my friend." He said, looking at her with rage but I could see the pain behind his eyes. A flicker of hurt crossed her face before she quickly masks it with a smile.
Yep, they were definitely related somehow romantically.
"Well, I guess I need to go now but would you like to meet my cousins Pragya? They would love to meet you." She said after we stood there awkwardly.
"Yes, I'd love to." I said, genuinely.
"Great. Bye guys and thanks again." She said before casting Abhi a longing look. I looked at Abhi to see his eyes closed, and his posture stiff.
"Are you okay, Abhi?" I asked him.
He opened his eyes and tried to smile but it looked like a grimace. "Yes, I am fine. I am sorry I didn't tell you beforehand but she is ..I mean was.." He tried to say, and by his face I think he was embarrassed.
"Your girlfriend?" I prompted.
"Yes. And I loved her." He sighed.
Just like me..
I could tell he was sad by everything. I squeezed his hand to reassure him and was about to remove when he squeezed it back, smiling at me thankfully. I smiled back at him.
"I will go get myself a glass of water." I said, after an hour of looking here and there. I honestly felt bad for Abhi and didn't want to leave Abhi. That is the reason I am still here even though I wanted to go back.
Abhi barely nodded since he was lost by seeing tanu's marriage. Her ceremony was taking place and the pain in Abhi's eyes was becoming more and more visible. I sighed and started going towards the drinks area. I grabbed myself a glass of water, drank it before going back to where I was. I tried to call ma to tell her I would be a bit late. I was so engrossed in finding my phone in my bag that I bumped into someone, causing me to lose my balance. Before I could embarrass myself in front of everyone, two firm hands were wrapped around my waist making me lost in his eyes.

Hello sweets,
How are you?
Well, I wanted to write more but had to stop.
If you people are thinking why Pragya is not jealous or was uncomfortable when Abhi wrapped an arm, it's because she still loves Purab and doesn't have any romantic feelings towards Abhi. Same goes for Abhi. He thinks Pragya is looking pretty but doesn't have any romantic feelings.
