Koyal shouts "Oye Buddddddddiiiiiieeeeeee"

Abhi came back to his senses as he was thinking of the events happening in his life.

Abhi "Why are you shouting darling?"

Koyal "You never hear me buddy! So I shout!"

Abhi "Ok I'm sorry. So what you want to tell?"

Koyal "Teacher is coming to see you."

Abhi "Which teacher?"

Koyal "Pragya teacher. She like you buddy."

Abhi "Pragya? Why is she coming here and she likes me??" he asked in shock.

Koyal "Buddy, she likes you and I know that. She is coming here but I don't know why. You must ask her why she is coming."

Abhi sees Koyal and thinks maybe she is lying.

Koyal "Buddy! She is coming at 6 pm."

Abhi looks at the time and it was already 5.55 pm.

Koyal runs away and Abhi hopes Pragya doesn't turns up as he was already having a hard time in distancing from her.

Pragya at the same moment enters the house and looks around for someone to be present.

It was such a big house. It means he have to be in a highly paid job. No wonder he is feeling bad of losing his job. Poor boy! How much of worry he would have been going through.

She thought by walking further inside and wondering where will Abhi be.

Koyal who came out of her room saw Pragya and screamed "Teacher!!!!!"

Pragya smiled and signalled her not to scream. But Koyal still screamed in happiness as she ran towards Pragya.

Pragya "Be careful Koyal!" she said seeing the speed at which Koyal was running towards her.

Koyal breathe heavily while Pragya said "This is why you shouldn't have run so fast. I am here only na. Then why do you have to run so fast?"

Koyal composing herself said "I am very happy teacher. You are here for first time!!!"

Pragya smiles warmly and carries her.

Koyal looks at her cutely and Pragya asks "Did you do your homework?"

She becomes sad hearing the word homework.

Pragya "Dramebaaz! Homework means you become sad ah?"

Koyal "No teacher. Homework I will do at home. This is buddy's place na so I am here to play!"

Pragya "Huh? I thought this is your home? What are you saying Koyal? Does it means you have another home?"

Koyal realized what she have told and don't know what to reply to Pragya now.

At the same time, Abhi comes out of his room saying "Koyal, can you ask your teacher not to come today as....."

He then sees Pragya there carrying Koyal and is lost for words of what to tell further.

Pragya lets Koyal down and smiles at Abhi. He too smiles lightly and says "Would you like to have something? Tea or coffee?"

Pragya "Tea would be fine."

Abhi asks Robin to come with tea and there was an awkward silence prevailing until Koyal said "I will go and do my homework buddy."

Pragya smiles and asked Koyal to do her homework slowly and make sure her handwriting was neat.

Koyal then ran away to her room.

Robin came with tea and passed it to Pragya.

Pragya "He is Robin right? The one who you like a lot?"

Robin in surprise "Sir likes me?"

Pragya "Ya he said you are cute and entertaining."

Robin blushed and Abhi finds it awkward.

Abhi "I meant when you play with Koyal you are funny. That's all!"

Robin "Thank you sir."

Abhi "Ok, go inside and prepare dinner for Koyal."

Robin "Yes sir." He said happily and leaves from there.

Pragya "You are right. He is cute indeed, especially when he blushes."

Abhi "hmm...."

Pragya "I have come to your house for first time. Don't you feel like asking why and for what?"

Abhi "Why and for what have you come to my house Pragya?"

Pragya sighs and says "Ok, I know you are upset about something and I can understand how much it means to you. But don't be like this as it can affect Koyal and the rest of your family members seeing you like this. You are not a moody person. You are always cheerful and quirky."

Abhi" ok...anything else? "

Pragya" Try to understand....it is not the end of life if you have to lose something. It could be a beginning to something you are about to gain. Trust me, whenever I lost something, I tried to feel this way."

I know she is saying all this to motivate me thinking I have lost my job. But why does it also suits to the situation I am going through?

He asks himself while looking at Pragya.

Pragya sees how worried he looks. She also worries for him.

Pragya" Stand up!!"

Abhi" Why?" he asked with an confused expression.

Pragya" I am saying na...just Stand up!"

Abhi stood up like she said and Pragya walks towards him.

Pragya comes closer to Abhi and gives a tight hug. She says "Don't worry, all will be fine." Abhi was taken aback and he finds it hard to reply. Pragya breaks the hug and finds him still in shock.

Abhi "What are you doing Pragya?"
Pragya "What did I do?" She asks back and Abhi didn't know how to reply.

Pragya "Whatever I did, it was all for the wellness of my friend. And....." She pauses and look at his reaction. He was looking confused.

Pragya smiled widely and said "And whatever I will do is also for the wellness of my friend." She again hugs him and Abhi responded to her hug this time.

Purab who was looking at this from a distance was in a dilemma of how to stop their bonding.

Pragya feels him getting emotional and she tears up unknowingly.

Abhi breaks the hug and looks at Pragya in tears.

Abhi "Why are you crying?"

Pragya wiping her tears said "Nothing... Just like that...."

Abhi "I really don't know what to say Pragya. You don't have to do all this....after all I am a stranger to you."

Pragya "No! You are not a stranger to me.   After all the times you have helped me, I don't think it's right for me to consider you as a stranger. You are my friend. I don't know from when I consider you as my friend. But I have to tell you, in recent times you are a good friend that I have got. And I feel very lucky about it."

Abhi feels overwhelmed and hugs her.

Pragya felt strange this time as he kissed her forehead in between his hug.

Abhi breaking the hug said" I'm sorry... I was.... "He said realising he had kissed her forehead.

Pragya smiles and Abhi" You are smiling?"

Pragya" I know, you wouldn't have kissed me with wrong intentions. So No worries!"

Abhi thought how can she be so understanding of him. This is not going to be easy as he thought. She is definitely going to make things difficult for him.

Pragya" Don't think too much. I will take my leave now and do call me whenever you feel low. I am always there for you as a friend to talk to you."

Abhi" Thank you!"

Pragya" Keep your thank you with you. Now better go and check whether Koyal is doing her homework if she is not then I have to give punishment to you!"

Abhi chuckles and asks her whether he can drop her. In return she says she can manage it and leaves from there.

Abhi thinks what is he suppose to do now when she is very much concerned about him?

It's difficult to hurt her by his plans to be hostile towards her. What else he can do to be away from her?

Koyal closing her eyes asked "Kicchie done?"

Abhi "What???" he asked looking back at Koyal.

Koyal "I saw you doing Kicchie to teacher. I saw it in movies also."

Abhi "Nothing like that Koyal! Now get back to do your homework."

Koyal "You also come. Teacher say na, you have to see whether I do or not."

Abhi "Koyal, you were not in your room is it? You were all the while seeing what we were talking!"

Koyal smiled teasingly and Abhi ran to catch her while she was running away to escape from him.

Purab seeing this smiled and thought "She came and now he is feeling happy now. If she is the reason for his happiness then Koyal and I have to move from him to avoid being hindrance to them."

Sneek peek to next part,
Abhi asks "Why do you have to come with me?"

Pragya "Because I am scared you will not take care of yourself properly!"

Abhi "I am not a kid. I can take care of myself Pragya. You better concentrate on your job."

Pragya "Job can be done at anytime but this is not like that na. And anyways there are teachers at my school to handle everything. Now let's go without delaying further."

Abhi "No Pragya. I can handle this. Purab is also coming soon."

Pragya "Be realistic yaar. He is at London now. Until he reaches here, you want to do all this alone?"

Abhi "Try to understand, I really think it's not a good idea for you to come along with me."

Pragya "Why? You don't trust yourself ah?"

Abhi "It's not about that. It will be not easy for you."

Pragya "Then you make it easy for me. OK?"

Abhi sighs in response  and Pragya "I am coming with you. That's it!"

He feels why is she so stubborn! He looks at her and she winks at him which makes him look away from her.
