' Love is like
Water in the clouds..

Though you hide today ,

Someday it will burst out. '

Sometimes we have to face the hard time as there will be no way to escape from it. Hos much we try to forget our reality , it comes infront of our eyes and into our mind and heart for sure. Pragya was on the full mode to get forgiveness from abhi.

She felt guilty for blaming him and hurting him with her words which she can never take back from him. She doesn't know how that thought came into her mind.. did she really wanted it ? Or she just let out her disappointment. Not concluding anything by herself , pragya got ready to meet Abhi in office.

" di.. I had prepared breakfast..!! You first have it and we can leave..? " bulbul shouts from the kitchen when pragya reached the hall.

She always wanted this life. People surrounds her with love and affection. But her fate had something designed for her.

" no bulbul.. I am leaving.. I will have it in office.." Pragya said and a thought came to her mind.

Pragya rushed inside the kitchen and saw bulbul struggling with the egg omelet. Letting out a chuckle, she helped her. Bulbul felt happy inside as she is spending sometime with her sister. She missed these days where they would spend time together.

" you don't even know how to make it .. then why you are forcing yourself to do it..? I am really feeling bad for purab" Pragya questioned her .

Bulbul could remember her older days when pragya used to say these same lines..

As she was immersed in their choldhood days, she was about to touch the hot pan but pragya stopped her.

" what you are doing bulbul? What you are doing...? " Pragya immediately asked as some black and white scenes started to run before her eyes. She tried to concentrate on it to get some glimpse of her past but she could not even figure it. She saw blankly herself scolding a girl but could not recognise her.

She became pale and soon heard only bulbul's shouting voice. " di.. what happened..? .. purab...!!! " everything starts to fade but with in a seconds, she got cleared. She saw bulbul in the verge of crying and purab standing beside her with a panic face.

" what happened di..?are you alright..? Let me call doctor! !" Bulbul said in a concern tone by caressing pragya's cheeks.

She felt a genuine care in bulbul's words and stopped purab who was about to call abhi .

" no purab... it might be due to the last night's drink.. I am fine and I came here to ask bulbul whether Abhishek sir had anything..?" Pragya remembered for what she entered kitchen and bulbul looked at purab in a worry. She knew that something is bothering her sister but she is not sharing it with her.

" no di .. he left without having breakfast. . " bulbul said and pragya asked her to move aside. She started to prepare bread toast along with some egg omelets. She doesn't know why she is preparing these things and bulbul felt happy for her.

' i wish di should have married abhi jiju..she really cares for him and he really cares for her. Why I think that they are made for each other...' bulbul's thoughts were disturbed by pragya who informed her that she is leaving.

When pragya was about to exit , she gets a call from karan. That's it..!! Her whole happiness comes to an end. Before minutes , she was thinking how she gonna convince abhi but didn't even thought about her husband. What's her relation with abhi ..? Why she is giving much importance to him in her life..? She felt like god gave her the life's best moments but when she missed to enjoy it , she was ahaub pulled back into the dark life from which she wanted to escape from it..

" hel..lo..." the words trembled as soon as she attends the call.

" where are you..? And where were you last night..? " karan asked in a high pitch making her to shiver in fear.

" There was an important meeting so I had been ordered to stay back in office.." she said with a pray that he should not ask her many questions.

" every time I call you.. you are saying some excuses or reasons. I don't know whether it's true or not.. I don't care about it. Listen to me carefully, I need 40 lakhs for my operation. Ask your boss to give you or seduce him .. I want this amount by today evening.." karan said while making pragya to stumble.

Did she heard it right..? He needs 40 lakhs and in a day..!! Ha had cheated her and kept in a relationship where she didn't even accepted as his wife..

" remember I need it by today. You have to speak with abhi and i am sure there is something that id going between you both..." karan said as she was still silent.

" there is nothing between us and I could not arrange. I can't ask this much amount and what he will think about me..? " pragya asked fuming in anger. Really is he thinking that she will do as per his orders even after knowing the truth .. how can she get the money for the operation that never gonna happen..!!

" you are forgetting one thing easily baby.. till yesterday you were talking to me politely but what happened today..? Did that abhi is behind all this..? Don't even think that anyone can save you from me..!! And if you are not bringing the money , then I have to kill your longing mother and your beautiful sister ..." karan again blackmailed her.

" I will not.. how can i trust you that they exist or not..? What proof you have..? " pragya asked him controlling her anger.

" oh..not bad .. you need proof... okay listen to me .. if you bring the money ; you can see your family alive or else you gonna see them dead.. understood !! I am damm serious about this." Karan said and cuts the call. Pragya doesn't know what to do , whether she should believe it or not..

" di... you are still here?  I thought you would have went..? Anything serious..? " bulbul asked seeing stressed pragya.

" i need 40 lakhs bulbul.. I don't know how I gonna get it otherwise I have to face the worst situation of my life.." Pragya said with tears trembling down her cheeks.

" Is there anything you are hiding from us..? Tell me di,  What's your problem...? Me and purab are with you..!! " bulbul got panic seeing pragya who is trying hard not to cry.

" no bulbul.. it's my fate and I have to face it. Now I have to go and meet Abhishek sir and will think about it after.." Pragya said rushing outside not paying any heed to their reply. She knew , she will blurt out if she stand there for a single minute too..

' when did abhi became her first priority.. ? She could not concentrate on what karan said as her mind and thoughts were around him. Will he accept her apology..?

Pragya thought not to share this problem with abhi. Already he had helped her in lots of situation and she don't want to pull him into her dark life. He is a nice person and he wants to settle with a girl who suits him. She very well know , she can't even think that place as he deserves more .

Pragya entered the office and every one were doing their work silently. Some were gossiping about his ex and when they saw pragya , she became their main topic. It's not a new thing for pragya and just passed a warm smile and entered abhi's cabin which was also her' s.

" abhi.. listen to me..." Pragya saw tanu already standing inside who was near abhi holding his hand firmly. And abhi is also not protesting with her and both looked at pragya as she entered all of the sudden.

" I am sorry...." Pragya tried to collect words but her brain doesn't work accordingly and looked at abhi with a sad filled face seeing his anger towards her.

" don't you have some manners?  Is this the way you enter ? I might be in an important conversation with some important people and you can't come as you wish.. better knock next time ..." abhi shouts at her as his intention was not to hurt her.

Seeing her again gave him a big relief but today's morning scenario made him mood off . He could digest the fact that she thinks  He is taking her just for granted. And to the top of it , tanu's presence irritated him. So he doesn't know whom to show it and shouts at her.

Seeing his anger , she was completely broken. She was in a verge of cry but made herself strong. It's really waste to get hurt today, knowing very well that this gonna happen one day .

" so..sorry.. I was wrong ..from next time ,  I will knock the door before I enter.. but remember that you gave me a place in this room..." pragya couldnt take it and left from there.

She went inside bulbul's room and opened her heart . She was tired of fighting with her life. One side ; karan blackmailing her , making her to go weak in the name of her family. Otherside she could not take abhi's ignorance! ! She couldn't realise why it affects her.. why she should long for his mercy. Who is he to her...? Why she could not control her seeing him with tanu. Why his words hurts her ? Is that because he got mad at her or he shouted infront of tanu..? Her head starts to spin when she keep on thinking deeply.

' you have to accept it pragya.. you know one day you will be pushed away from him.. then why you are worrying now ..? Why you are worrying for the things that never exist..? You know the reality and just focus on what karan had said..? How you gonna arrange for 40 lakhs... ' thought pragya and decides to take leave.  As her plans had failed , being alone will be the only way she can get rid of pains.

" bulbul..I am not feeling well.. so i will take a leave today . Will meet tomorrow... I had kept his breakfast on your table , give it to him " she messaged to bulbul and left from there not informing abhi.

After a while , abhi was immersed in his works. He just want to divert his mind from pragya and forget to check her .  He knew , he had hurted her but his ego stopped him to move close to her.

" jiju.. you didn't had breakfast .. " bulbul entered inside with a rush along with purab

" thanks bulbul..but i am not feeling hungry.." abhi said resuming his work.

" all credits goes to pragya di. She only prepared for you and I don't know what happened to her , she left all of a sudden.." bulbul said looking worried.

" what she prepared it..? And she left ? Why..? " he asked knowing he is the only reason.

" bhai.. today morning , pragya di got a call from his husband that he needs 40 lakhs . He is threatening di and that's why she would have left.." purab said taking a seat before him.

' og my god.. what I had done..? I thought she left because of my anger but no.. she was already in problem.. may be she came to say this.. I acted like a mad person.. I hurted her with my words.. but why he is threatening her..?  And still she is numb.. why can't she say that she knew the truth..? Wait.. he might blackmail in the name of her family.. that's why she is silent till now..'

" purab...do as i say.. and you are the right person I can trust.." abhi said and as bulbul looked at him in suprise.

" sure bhai.." purab said and abhi shared his plan with him.

In night

Pragya was on her back to home . She could not hide herself today as she is forced to face him. She just want to ask some more time to get the total money though it's highly imposible for her.

She entered home to see him still sliding on the bed and she herself mocked at her for being dumb. She urges to shout the truth but her mouths were shut by the name of family.

" what happened?  Where is the money ? " he asked desperately seeing her devastated state.

" is it cash or check..?."he keep on asking her and she could see the beast inside him. The beast only loves money and nothing more than that.. did he even know the value of it and how much hard work is needed for it..

" check..." everyone turned to see purab standing near the door and pragya looked surprised at him.

' Is he really here for her..? She wish why can't he take her from this cruel home.. why is have cursed to live this life..'

" here is the check from Abhishek Mehra.. and I am his assistant and brother. You can withdraw the money only after two days.. but before that he wants pragya di to come with us as there is a meeting in jaipur for two days.."purab said slightly nodding at pragya that he is here because of abhi and no need to worry.

She could not believe her own ears . Did he really helped her..? Is his anger for vanished..? How did he came to know about this..?

Karan got the check from purab and traced it. 40 lakhs.. !! He gonna became king of his world.

"I will pick you by morning di. Be ready..I am leaving.." purab waved his hand towards pragya and starts to leave.

Pragya follows him unable to control her train of questions.

" purab ..." she stopped him and he smiled at her seeing the glooming face of her.

' this is what i wish to see in pragya di's face. How much tension she take in her head..  now she is relaxed ..I have to inform abhi..'

" purab... did he asked you to give the check..? " pragya asked without taking his name as she find some sort of difficulty in that.

"  whom di ? " he asked teasing her with his question. But the blushing smile on her face clearly explains that she starts to feel for him . He could see how much they love for each other but the fact is they didn't realised it.

" you very well know whom i are referring ...? " pragya said in a low tone and purab smiled at her .

" di.... me and bulbul informed abhi about the call you got from karan. And he told me to give this check.. " purab played with her and saw some sort of sadness in her face.

He really don't want to spill the plan as abhi is working hard for it. He prayed to god that everything should happen as per their plan and promised himself that he will say the truth of her life..

' he only helped me ... because purab and bulbul insisted him. He didn't remember our conversation.  Why I got sad when purab said the truth ..! ! Oh god ...! ! Please get me out from this.

" okay di. I am leaving . Bulbul will  be waiting for me.." purab said and left from there.

" bhai... I did as you said.. good progress bhai..." purab informed abhi as soon as he leaves from there.

" purab...what happened?  Did you spoke with pragya di?  She is fine right...!! " bulbul asked as purab came into their room.

" she is fine and I noted the same reaction which I saw in abhi.. really these two are made for each other but trying to regret it.." purab said with a smile.

"  i am worried for pragya di.  Today she shocked me to the core.? You know purab.. my di started to get glimpses of her past.. I am getting worried... will she hate me.." bulbul asked and at the same time they heard abhi asking " what..? "

Both were shocked to see him standing near the door...

What will happen next...?

Will abhi able to learn her truth..?

What will happen next..?

Is karan being trapped by abhi or he himself digging a big hole for him..?

Will the trip to Jaipur bring changes in abhigya's life..?

What's karan nature..? Will he change his mind after seeing abhi and pragya's love for each other...

Will be continued...

Keep guessing..

Hope you won't regret it.
