Pragya knocks the door of Abhi's room.

Abhi opens it and is found to be wearing just a towel.

Pragya turning away said "Chee!! Don't you know to dress up before you open the door."

Abhi "Sorry! I will get dressed now."

He said and closed the door while Pragya was waiting for him.

Abhi then opened the door and said "I thought it was...."

Pragya "I know! I saw him coming to your room to pass you coffee too. That's ok. Now I have to tell you something important. Are you free?"

Abhi "About Koyal?"

Pragya "Yes!"

Abhi "Come in!"

Pragya "No! You come out. You have to see what is happening outside."

Abhi in a confused tone replied,"Okay...."

He follows her and sees Koyal sitting by the pond side.

Abhi "Why did you leave her alone? She looks very lonely staring at the pond."

Pragya "Sssh...."

Abhi "I was not loud."

Pragya "Look Mr Abhi. Just observe her."

Abhi was about to say something when she closed his mouth with her hands and asked him to look at Koyal.

Abhi took her hands away and looked at Koyal's direction.

Pragya whispered "She is not alone. She is with her diary."

Abhi replied "That's my diary!"

Pragya "Is it?"

Abhi "Yes. I left it at her room."

Pragya "Oh... I didn't get a chance to take it. It was always with her at all times."

Abhi "Even when she goes for bath?"

Pragya "Only you can say like this."

Abhi "I mean nobody will bring diary to bath..."

Pragya "But can hide it before taking a bath right?"

Abhi "Oh ya... That's right."

Pragya "You have to talk to her. I can feel she is missing her buddy."

Abhi "Does she?"

Pragya "Yes! Definitely!"

Abhi "How about you?"

Pragya "Me too but she is more important to you!"

Abhi raises his eyebrows to her reply and looks at Pragya.

Pragya turns away and says "Go and talk to her."

Abhi thought it's good to know that Pragya also misses him.

He walks to where Koyal was sitting. He sits besides her.

Abhi "Hi...."

Koyal remains silent and Abhi says "I know you will be angry at me for hiding such a big thing to you. I was worried my buddy will hate me. I'm sorry Koyal."

Koyal passed him the diary and still remained silent.

Abhi was about to leave when Koyal said "I am still angry at you buddy!"

Abhi "I'm sorry!"

Koyal "Why you never talk to me before you leave? Why you never call me once? I read everything in the diary buddy. Every night I read it and know how you and Mummy were best friends. She called you as Bhai na?"

Abhi nods his head and Koyal asked "Then is this how you leave your sister's daughter alone?"

Abhi hugged her and said "I won't leave you alone again!"

Koyal was in tears and Abhi too feeling how much she had missed his presence so far until she became silent.

Seeing their bond, Pragya got emotional and wiped her tears.

Abhi "You also never call me!"

Pragya hearing it thought "Another child is complaining!"

Koyal "I was waiting for your call. I thought you forget about me."

Abhi "Silly girl. How can I forget you?"

Koyal "You won't forget me?"

Abhi "Never! I might forget anything else but not my sweetie cutie Koyal!"

Koyal smiled and Pragya who came near them said "Now you are telling the truth."

Abhi "I didn't mean that way. I meant...."

Pragya "Mr Abhi, please stop lying. It's enough! I mean all because of lies we have been going through a lot now."

Koyal "He won't lie anymore. Buddy you won't na?"

Abhi "Haan...."

Pragya shrugging said "I hope so...."

Abhi thought, I have to lie if it's to make you happy Pragya.

Pragya "You were saying something?"

Abhi "No!"

Pragya "You definitely thought something. I can see it from your eyes."

Abhi "Acha from when did you became an eye doctor?"

Koyal laughed hearing it and Pragya "It's not a big joke to laugh at Koyal. He is only irritating me."

Abhi "Irritating you? Can anyone do that?"

Pragya "You always do that to me. Oh ya... You have forgotten the past right? Maybe you don't remember now."

Koyal looks confused and Abhi said "Pragya... Please.... Don't repeatedly tell like this..... Try to understand what I am saying."

Pragya "Koyal, let's go in.....looks like it is going to rain!"

Abhi never said anything and carries Koyal while Pragya walks ahead of them.

Koyal "Buddy, you fight with teacher?"

Abhi "I am not fighting Koyal. It's your teacher who fights with me."

Koyal "Oh......"

Abhi "I will talk to her later and ask her not to fight again. I know you don't like us fighting."

Koyal smiled and both went inside the house.

Later in the night,

Abhi knocks the door of Pragya's room.

Pragya opens the door and sees Abhi.

Pragya "What brings you here now?"

Abhi "I need to talk to you. Not now. Maybe tomorrow at 10 am?"

Pragya "What do you want to talk? You have to spend more time with Koyal not me."

Abhi "I know that! Tomorrow she will be going for dance class. After leaving her at dance class, I want to talk to you."

Pragya "Dance class?"

Abhi "She wants to join so I am bringing her."

Pragya "Oh...."

Abhi "I want to meet that man too."

Pragya "Which man?"

Abhi "That precious or gem man...." he said looking away.

Pragya smiled inwardly and thought why is he so bothered about that man.

Abhi "Please ask him to come. I know he will turn up if you insist."

Pragya "He might be busy. I can't guarantee that he will turn up."

Abhi "He won't turn up even for you?"

Pragya "It depends but why do you want to meet him?"

Abhi "I will tell you that tomorrow but please ask him to come."

Pragya "Alright, when you ask me like this I will try my level best."

Abhi smiled and said thank you before leaving. From a distance he said Good night!

Pragya thought "Strange he is.... If he wants to know about him, he can ask me directly. Why does he wants to meet him? But it's okay, it will be interesting to see their interaction. I should ask whether he is free tomorrow for him to turn up."

The next day,

Abhi met Pragya at a park.

Abhi" It's good that you came early and where is the gem man?"

Pragya" Don't call him like that. I don't like it."

Abhi" Then at least tell his name. If not I don't have a choice other than calling him a gem man."

Pragya" His name is unique. I think you will tease it if I tell you. So wait until he comes and he will introduce hinself to you."

Abhi" Oh... He have a such a unique name ah? Looks like the name can be of some animal's name."

Pragya" There you go. You have started it now."

Abhi" I didn't. You made me started it."

Pragya" Tell me one thing.Why are you so interested in this issue ah? Why are you so interested to know about him?"

Abhi "I have to. If not for me at least for Koyal, I need to know about him."

Pragya "I don't understand. Wait! Why is it for Koyal?"

Abhi looking how confused Pragya was said "Can't you see it? You will be confusing Koyal if you never tell me."

Pragya "You are confusing me now!"

Abhi "Look Pragya. I was thinking that you are like a mother to Koyal."

Pragya "I am her Maasi not Ma!"

Abhi "Haan I know that. But I was thinking you will show care like her Ma and I will be showing care like her Papa."

Pragya shrieked "What? What do you mean by you as Papa and me as Ma?"

Abhi "I mean not together but together too."

Pragya widens her eyes in response. Abhi holds her hand and says "You have to tell me about him so that I will not be confusing to you."

Pragya understands what he wants to know and she says "He himself will tell you. Look behind, he is here!"

Abhi leaves her hand and turns to look behind.

Abhi's jaw dropped looking that he looks much more handsome now.

Pragya smiles inwardly seeing Abhi's reaction.

Pragya smiles more than usual seeing the man which irritates Abhi.

Abhi" Hi! Glad that you came here!"

Man" Yes it's a pleasure to come for Pragya."

Abhi smiles lightly and asked" Do you want to sit and talk?"

Man" Sure!"

Abhi asked both to follow him and to his shock the man sat beside Pragya leaving no space for him and he had to sit opposite to them.

Seeing his anger, Pragya could only smile back.

Abhi" Let me come to the point. Pragya, I am asking who is he as already Purab is having plans to get you married so why not this man whom you feel is a precious gem?"

Pragya" What?? What are you saying?"

Abhi" Nothing to be shocked of as I see you how much you respect him through the way you speak. So why not him?"

Man" Wait!! Is this why you called me for?"

Pragya" I'm sorry yaar. I thought it will be just for a chat. I didn't expect this mad guy will bring this topic."

Abhi" Mad guy? Excuse me, I am thinking for your wellbeing and you call me as a mad guy."

Man" It's a misunderstanding from your side. We both respect each other not out of love but because of the responsibility we shared before."

Abhi" Responsibility?"

Pragya" Don't ask about it. It's the past. And what he says is right. We never love each other and never will. Because our relationship is very pure and serene. It is not limited to love."

Man" That's right. Thanks for saying it Pragya."

Abhi looks confused completely and asks" So you two have no chance to love each other?"

Pragya glared at Abhi and the man added "Mr Abhi, she is like a angel who helped me in distress and angels will be only with you to fulfil your wish. She fulfilled my wish and left after that."

Pragya gets emotional hearing it and the man says "I'm leaving now and my angel will always be in my heart and that's all for the relationship between us."

Abhi looks at Pragya still sitting and wonders what happened between them?

Sneek peek to next part,

Pragya "I don't know!!"

Abhi "How can you not know?"

Pragya "I don't know means I don't know. That's all I can say."

Abhi "Don't be stubborn Pragya. Tell me everything if not I will go to his house to ask everything."

Pragya "No! And why are you so bothered about my past when you are a person who forget about past!"

Abhi "Yes I agree I forget about past but I never say I forget about you!"

Pragya looks back at him while someone's shadow is seen following them.
