" Its hard to admit when you have fallen in love with someone who can't be yours'.."

" Is that only the reason !!" Pragya asked though her mind screams her to stop questioning him. Abhi wiped his face as he turns to look at her.

Her face expressed lots of emotions to him. He felt dying each second ; he looks into his eyes only to be hated by her. Yet , he deserves it for his stupid decision. But nothing going to change now as the fate decided to play with both their feelings.

He don't know whether he will be able to see her marrying his younger brother , Karan but knew that he is not perfect for her.

" Yes and it won't change any time * he looks into her eyes which became moist * for anyone...!!" Tells abhi quickly walking from there.

He stops near the door and without looking back at her , abhi tells " Everyone is waiting down stairs , you can join them...!!" He walks out hurriedly before she could speak to him.

Pragya breaks down sitting on the bed after he left sobbing hard to control her tears . The pain he caused is still fresh and he is hurting her more and hated herself for still taking it to her heart .

Abhi reaches down and he saw his while family sitting in the dark moon light which passes through the window. His father , Neil is talking with the EB person while karan was helping by giving certain tools to him.

Abhi again looks back at the stairs and found that pragya is still in her room. He grits his teeth sensing her stubbornness and thought to help karan.

" Abhi...beta!!" His dadi calls him as soon as she saw abhi walking towards Neil. Abhi smiles at her and paces to his dadi to enquire seeing her confused face.

" Is Pragya alone in her room beta!!! Why don't you call her here !!" Asked dadi as abhi settles near her.

He looks silently down playing with his fingers fighting with his brain on how to answer his dadi's question.

" Dadi ...woh ..she is sleeping in her room. I thought not to disturb her .." He tells without looking into her eyes . Ragini agrees with this and the power comes atlast.

" chalo ... lights came.." dadi tells as ragini helps her to walk towards the stairs. Karan acts as if he is obedient infront of Neil who doesn't even believe for a percent.

" Ask him to help pragya in reaching her project classes on time...!! I should not hear any complaints from her...!!" Tells Neil looking at abhi and gave a nasty look at karan walking from there.

" Am I looking like a driver ? " asked karan as Neil walked away from them while Abhi slaps him slightly on his shoulder.

" Behave yourself... You are getting married!! " tells abhi as karan nods his head fastly.

" Bhai !! You know right !! I am not interested in these arrange marriage blah..blah..!! I just want to spend my life like this..!! I hate commitments bhai..!!" Tells karan trying to make his point clear to abhi.

" whatever!! But please , listen to him once !! Don't take his anger on you..!!" Tells abhi walking from there.

Karan scratching his fore head looks at the way abhi walks up the stairs and took his mobile that was vibrating constantly.

He swiped the call attending it with the rough tone." I said right , I will come then why you keep on calling me..!! Just end the call.." he tells switching off the ohone.

Karan thinks to speak with pragya now. He don't want her to complain her about him to his dad when he enquire about him tomorrow. Again he can't bear his lectures.

He climbs the stairs with the thoughts what he should speak with her. He had hardly spoke with her through phone where she used to talk only about her books which je felt bored. And also he had seen her picture where she looked nerdy in that big chashma with no makeup and simple attire.

According to him , she comes under the category called " boring" who is not his type . His taste will never match with her nor he could compromise that , for her. If he marries her , then sure his friends gonna tease him which is going to be a big insult for him.

With these thoughts , he reached her room standing infront of the door. He knocked it gentle and didn't get any response.

" May be she would have slept..!!" Karan smacked his fore head and was ready to leave when he heard the opening sound of the sound.

Karan smiles as he turns to look at her with no interest but was shocked to see the girl who is standing before him.

' It can't be her...' thought karan checking her from top to bottom. She is wearing a loose t-shirt with night pants ; her hair tangled at the ends which were giving a flawless beauty due to windy air.

Pragya was arranging the bed when she heard a door knock. She thought it might be abhi to check her or to ask sorry for everything he did to her.

' Is that what you expect from him pragya ..' thought pragya walking towards the door .

She was shocked to see karan turning to leave from there but stopped might be hearing the door sound.

" Pragya...!!" His voice bought her back to reality as she smiled with the nervousness written on her face.

" May I come in..? " he asked without taking his eyes from her. Feeling uncomfortable with him ; pragya opens the door wide and nods him to come inside.

He saw her room was nearly arranged ; ofcourse her books on one side while many paper works spread on the table.

Following his gaze ; pragya moves tiwards the table to arrange them. " Sorry...!! I was...!!" Her words were cut off by him.

" Its okay...Look at you..!!" He points at her saying " Oh my god Pragya... you look beautiful...!!" He compliments her.

Seeing her who is trying not to make an eye contact with him ;he clears his throat saying " do you have any plans tomorrow.. after your project classes...!!" Asked karan sitting on her bed.

" No.. I will come back to home directly after classes gets over..!!" Tells pragya wishing he would leave her room soon.

" Perfect...!! I will drop you in your classes tomorrow and will pick you from there. Will have our lunch outside and we will go for a long drive .... !! " tells karan which pragya could not deny.

As pragya was about to say something ; karan starts before her saying " We need to know about each other !! And I will talk to mom about this ..!!"

" Karan....!!" They both turns towards the entrance as they saw abhi standing near the door. He was standing there in anger yet his calm actions explains many things to pragya .

" What you are doing here ? If papa comes to know about this , i can't help you..!!" Abhi said trying to avert his gaze from pragya.

Pragya's eyes wells up but she controlled herself and stood strong not taking his words to her mind or heart .

" Okay...I will see you tomorrow pragya..!! Be ready and good night....!!" Karan said closing the door.

" Oh my god bhai... I can't believe that it's Pragya! ! She had completely changed into a beautiful pretty girl for whom every guy can die.. I can't believe it now... !! It looks like a dream...!!" Tells karan as soon as they enters the room.

" Yeah...she had changed !!" Abhi said bitterly pouring the drink in two glasses. He directs one glass to karan who denies it.

" sorry bhai..!! I have to get up early to take my lady out.. so no more alcohol today...!! Good night..!! " said karan and falls on the bed removing his shoes.

Abhi smiles inwardly as he puts the glasses on the bar counter and starts to drink the whole bottle. He cant take his anger , sad,  betrayal out from his heart. However he tries not to hurt himself ; everytime he see her , it's hurts him directly.

" I know you can never be mine pragya...! !" Thinks abhi sipping the last part of the bottle. He lies on the floor with the thoughts of her.

Fb starts..

" how much time should I say abhi..not to fill the fridge with your stupid drinks ..!!" Yells pragya as she saw his alcohol bottles neatly arranged in the counters.

" What should I do darling..!! You were enjoying your time with your family for past one week and this bottles have company to me.. in your absence ...!!" Abhi said hugging her from back.

She rest her head on his shoulder leaning on him who just sucked her one side of neck with a loud rough kiss .

" Oh my god abhi...!!" Pragya let's out her words with a loud moan as abhi turned her towards him.

He slightly lifts her placing carefully on the slab of the kitchen as she slides her hands around his neck.

Pragya pulled him closer to her as their fore head rest on each other while their breathe got mingled.

" I missed you so much Abhi...!! I hate going back to home..." she tells him pecking his lips softly.

" I just missed this...!!" He tells inhaling her sweet fragrance enjoying her kiss without paying attention towards her words.

" You didnt missed me but my kiss ...! !" Pragya asked this time nibbling his lower lip repeatedly.

" Wild cat ...! !" He exclaims as soon as she blushed sensing his arms around her waist.

" I love you Abhi..!! I can't even think of a minute without you...!!" She tells again pecking his lips .

"But I love the way your lips meet mine..." he tells with a naughty smile as pragya pushed him back. She starts to beat him as he runs from there who chased him till she gets tired.

Fb ends.

Next morning

Pragya for ready in her casual wear and rushed down as its getting late for her classes. She doesn't want to be late nor to miss her classes.

As pragya comes to the dinning table ; she saw abhi already present there. He didn't looked at her and was discussing with Neil yet she could see his dark blood red eyes.

" Good morning beta..." ragini greets her and pragya got blessing from dadi. Abhi checked her who was dull and plastered a smile on her face.

" I think Karan didn't forget about her classes... where is he ? " asked Neil knowing that he must be sleeping well in his room.

But to his dismay , " I am ready dad..!! Waiting for pragya...!!" Karan tells stepping inside the hall surprising everyone.

Neil chokes seeing his immature son got up early and was talking to him obediently. Neil also noticed him winking at pragya as he cleared his throat.

" come and have your breakfast...!!" Said ragini arranging a plate for pragya and for karan.

" No ma .I will have after dropping pragya..!!" Replied karan as she smiled in return.

" What happened to you karan..? You are fine right ? " Dadi teased him as he hugs her in return.

" Hope you won't disappoint me...! !" Said Neil getting up from his seat after finishing his breakfast.

" Yes dad...! ! " he mimicked in his tone suppressing his laugh knowing well that Neil will not react to his talks.

Abhi gets up not able to sit there more as he felt detached from the family.

" Abhi...!! Have your breakfast and leave..!!" Said ragini with worried face.

" No ma.. I am not hungry...!!" Tells abhi without looking at any one and leaves from there.

" Now what happened to him..!!" Dadi scowls seeing abhi walking lifelessly. Pragya's heart sank seeing him like this but it was his mistake , they were in this situation.
as

Karan drops pragya in her coaching class informing that he will pick her. The classes went well and during break ; she was in dilemma whether she should call abhi and enquire whether he had his breakfast.

' No... I shouldn't do this..!! He is no one to me and i should not start this..!! I am going to marry karan and still having feelings for abhi ; my heart still didn't learn to hate him as the love I had for him still exist inside me . How I can think of anyone in his place? We believed that one day we gonna get married but everything got changed in that one day night.. I hate him more the memories of that day comes infront of my eyes ..' thought pragya taking her bag to return back to her classes.

" matlab.. I came here to have one nice coffee ... * Pragya rolls her eyes * What i will do in trail room !! I came to try this shirt..!!" He said as he threw his shirt on her.

" You...!!" She grits his turning towards him while instantly closed her eyes seeing him shirtless.

" Pragya... Are you done..? We are getting late for movie..!!"  They heard Karan's voice and pragya slapped her forehead cursing her stars.

" Get out...!! I need to change ..! !" She tells as abhi looks at her standing there in a western dress.

" how can I get out when he is standing here ? Change and leave !! I will come out once you leave .. " tells abhi sitting on the chair.

" How can I ? " she mutters looking at the mirror gazing at abhi who smirks at her.

" Don't act as if I have not seen anything before...!" His words came next which shocked pragya.
