Hello guys,
Thank you so much for the response.
Absolutely didn't expect it.
And wishing you a happy new year. May this new year bring each one of you more and more happiness. :)

Pragya's POV

A new life...a new beginning. It's not as easy as it seems. How do I move on from something like this? Where do I even begin? It's only been an hour since I have left the house where I was supposed to live happily in wedded bliss for the rest of my life.
Wedded bliss. Huh! What an absolute joke! I must have seemed like a complete idiot to him!
Well, that's what love does to people stupid enough to believe in it. It turns them into weaklings desperate enough to do and believe anything to attain it, even to the extent of losing basic common sense.
I continued to walk the streets having no clue, no plan on what to do next. All I knew was that there was no way in hell I was going back to that bastard! The one who vowed to protect me from all bad things, was the one doing them to me.
I wandered over to the park and sat down on an empty bench, hoping to gain some idea on what to do next. I definitely wouldn't go back to my parents. As much as I loved them, I couldn't be around them right now. There would be endless lectures and a whole heap of "I told you not to marry him". That was the last thing I needed right now.  Besides that would be the first place that monster would look for me.
I need to find a place to stay. I have enough saving to live on for a while.                             
While my parents weren't happy with my choice in husband, they made sure that I was always well taken care of, atleast in monetary terms. A secret account which opened by my parents for me, which I had full access to, was currently at my disposal. Well that was something to be grateful for.
After thinking about my future for a week, I get up and walked out of the park. I can sit hours in that park but still there would be no answer to my problems.
"Pragya?" I looked up hearing my name.
Oh Great! Just about the last person I wanted to see while basking in my misery! How much more lucky could a girl get?!
"Purab" I greeted flatly.
"What are you doing out at this hour?" He asked curiously.
The thing i like about Purab is when his life is filled with problems, he would be facing them with a smile. But when it comes to his family, he would get very serious.
"I..actually.." i start stuttering.
How to explain to my brother in law cum best friend who was the reason we got married, who played a cupid in our lives, that my wedding life is not happy, that his best friend is getting abused by the person whom he trusted with his life.
"Pragya, you're scaring me. What's wrong? "He asked me again, holding my shoulders.
I cannot tell him the truth. He would be devastated to know the true nature of his best friend.
"Hmm your best friend went on a vacation with his girlfriend." I told in a playful manner even though it was partially true.
"Girlfriend?"he asked confused.
"Work" i yelled, giggling at his confused expression even though my insides were churning since i was betraying my best friend.
"But that still didn't answer my question about you being out at an ungodly hour?" he still persisted. I sighed.
"You know about me right.I was scared to stay alone, went on a walk and you the rest of the story." I reasoned.
"I still have a question."Purab stated.
Oh god, what is he going to ask.
"Purab, enough with the interview please."I whined.
"One more question and then i am done."he pouted.
"Fine.Shoot" I groaned.
"What made you go on a walk with your bags packed?' He asked raising an eyebrow.
All the colors on my face drained.I am pretty sure my face was white as a paper.
I am DEAD!
What to tell him now?
Purab was still looking at me patiently, raising an eyebrow.
"Actually I wanted to spend time with my friends but I got to know they are not in the town" I explained.
He nodded his head in approval.
Phew, that was close.
We stood there awkwardly not knowing what to say.
"Why don't you spend some time with us?" Purab suggested.
Even though this was the only option left for me, I didn't want to interrupt them with my stay.
"Purab, I don't want to burden you with my stay." I said.
"Burden? Are you kidding! Bulbul will kill me if she finds that you're not going to stay with us since jeeju is out of town.You know she keeps on asking about you." Purab smiled softly.
I sighed.
Bulbul was a sweetheart. Even though Purab and bulbul loved each other for a long time, they didn't get married until I was.
"Fine. Let's go" I accepted reluctantly.
"Perfect" Purab grinned. I find myself smiling back at him. He picked my bag, even though i told I will do it by myself and we started going towards his house.
While traveling, I was thinking about the events of the night which changed my life. Jut like a happy married woman i should have lived in my house, waiting for my husband to turn up. But now I am going to my sister's place to protect myself from the person who should protect from the bad things in the world.
I need to find myself job pretty soon and then find a place to live . As much I love them, I cannot live with them forever.
I realized that the car has stopped and we reached the place. We started moving towards his house. A weird silence settled between us while I was nervous to meet my sister. That monster didn't allow me to meet my family because he was ' scared someone would take his love ' from him. Me, being a dumb idiot, believed every single word he says. I shake my head at the foolishness. Purab opened the door for me while I smiled gratefully at him.
"Purab, you're finally here! I am going to kill you. How long does it take for you to bring some potatoes for dinner?" We hear a death threat.
Purab's face was pale while I chuckled hearing the voice .
How much I missed her voice!
"What are you doing standing there? Come here." Bulbul comes walking out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on the towel.
She stands there still after seeing me. None of us make a move, we just stand there looking at each other. My bulbul, my little sister. After seeing for a while, bulbul made the first move and hugged me. I hugged her back and we both cried for staying away from each other.
"Mwammy" we hear a sleepy voice.
I lift my head up to see a cute girl walking towards us. I look at bulbul and she nods her head happily. I place a hand on my mouth, shocked.
"Did this aunty make you cry?" The little girl asked me angry after she saw the tears in bulbul eyes.
" No sweetie, she is your mother's sister." Purab lifted her and placed her on his hip.
"Oh" she nodded confused.
"What's your name?" I ask her.
"Mwammy said I shouldn't say my name to strangers." She said.
I smiled at her and placed her on my hip.
"I am not a stranger. I am your massi." I smiled
"Massi. Oh. My name is abhigya." She smiles a toothy grin.
"I am Pragya." I said.
"Pagya massi." She claps her hand excitedly.
I smile at my name's wrong pronunciation.
"Will you play with me?" She asks.
My heart melts at her voice.
"Abhigya, you need to eat your dinner. Come on." Bulbul said.
"But I want to play with maasi." She whines.
"I will play with you tomorrow. Go and have your dinner." I smiled.
She nodded excited and left to dinning room.
"She is cute." I comment after bulbul left to feed abhigya.
"Yeah, just like her mother." Purab smiled happily.
I smiled sadly. I wish I had a family like them.
"Purab, di. Let's have dinner." Bulbul yelled.
I hear the door bell ring. Purab went to open the door.
"Do you know who was that?" I asked Bulbul.
"Maybe the neighbor." Bulbul said.
I nodded my head and we ate our food in silence. After eating, Bulbul asked me why did I come here suddenly. I told her the same thing I told Purab. I know I need to tell them the truth but that might shatter them. We watched tv for a while and Purab suggested we should go to bed.
I went to the bed room they said I can have. I laid down thinking about my life.
Where will I find a job? If not teaching, I need to find a job to move to some place. I cannot stay with my sister's family.
I think about 'our' happy times. We used to be a happy couple. A smile made a way on my face thinking about his love proposal for me. He was so nervous that day. I remembered the day I fought with my dad to accept our love.
I wonder how they are?
After thinking about the bitter sweet memories, I welcomed the darkness.
