After Few Days

Abhi came down to have his breakfast. He found Pragya nowhere near the dining table.

Abhi: Robin...

Robin came, hearing Abhi's voice.

Abhi: Where is she?

Robin: Sir today ma'am, went to the office earlier, sir.

Abhi nodded and started to eat. He heard his phone ringing. He attended the calling, seeing Siddharth's number.

Abhi: Ya, Siddharth.

Siddharth: Abhi, where are you?

Abhi: Don't you know where I would be? I'm in that Lady Hitler's home only.

Abhi said sulking.

Siddharth: Don't you know the matter?

Abhi: What matters?

Siddharth: Abhi, Today is Preethi's marriage.

Abhi's face falls, hearing Siddharth.

Abhi: You are kidding me.

Siddharth: Abhi, I'm serious.

Siddharth said sternly, whereas Abhi felt like someone is stabbing his heart.

Abhi: W...Where?

Abhi asked in choking voice.

Siddharth: Grand Mahal Hall.

Abhi hung the call and rushed to the venue. His eyes started to shed tears, seeing Preethi in the mandap with some other. His body began to shiver, and he felt suffocated to stand there. He began to breathe heavily.

Preethi's father approached him furiously after seeing him there.

P's Father: What are you doing here?

Abhi: How could you do this? How could you get her married without her will?

P's father: She is doing this marriage willingly only. Don't create a scene here. Get out.

Abhi was watching Preethi getting married to some other with tears in his eyes. Preethi's father saw him with a smirk.

P's father: Finally, I have completed my duty perfectly. Now, there is no hurdle for my daughter's happiness. Already you have made her cry her a lot. Don't show your face to her again.

Preethi's father said furiously, whereas Abhi went from there, giving a deadly glare to Preethi's father.

At Evening

Pragya came home early and went towards her room. To her shock, her room was dark, and Abhi was sitting on the floor. Pragya got worried and switched on the lights and saw Abhi's face, which was pale with tears. Pragya went towards him and kept her hand on his shoulder. Abhi lifted his head and looked at her with tears on his eyes. He pushed her hand angrily, making her get jerked by his action.

Pragya: Abhi...

Abhi held her neck tightly and started to strangle it, whereas Pragya felt suffocating.

Pragya chocking: Wh...what are you doing?

Abhi: Finally you have achieved what you wished na...

Abhi left her neck. Pragya cough...

Pragya: What are you talking about?

Abhi: Don't act as if you don't know. Preethi got married.

Abhi said whereas tears started to flow from his eyes. Pragya gave a blank look.

Pragya: If she would have loved you, then she would have waited for you. She would have understood you, but she doesn't. This proves that she doesn't deserve you. She is not true to your love.

Abhi: Do you think that you deserve me?

Abhi asked sarcastically, whereas Pragya became dumbstruck, hearing him.

Abhi: Now, why are you not speaking? Say... Do you think that whatever you did is right? If you truly loved me, then you would have wished for my happiness, but you didn't. You hurt me. You snatched my happiness, and now you are speaking about love in front of me.

Abhi said furiously with tears, tearing Pragya's heart.

Abhi: Do you know the value of love? Do you know how it would feel to lose the person we love the most?

Pragya's eyes were filled with fear, hearing him. Her heartbeat started to beat faster, which she could listen to. Her bitter past is flashing in front of her, making her weaker. Abhi gripped her shoulder angrily, making her look at him.

Abhi shouted: Do you know how it would feel if someone snatches your happiness? It would kill you. And after doing all this, how can you expect me to be with you? How do you expect me to love you?

Pragya's breath hitched, whereas her throat chocked, hearing his world.

Abhi: As I said before, I have never hated anyone this much in my life. I hate you to the core. Listen to me carefully, Ms. Pragya Arora, you would never get my love. I would never love a woman like you. I feel like a sin to be with you. I hate you to the core. Leave me... Go away from my life.

Abhi said and went from there, leaving Pragya devasted. Her eyes were filled with tears, her hands' shivers. She could hear her heartbeat, which was beating faster, and all the memories are flashing in front of her eyes, making her even weaker.

She sat down and hugged her knees tightly. She rocked to and fro, controlling her nervousness. In all these years, she tries a lot to forget that bitter memory, but every time, it comes like a nightmare, remembering her everything she tries to forget. Her eyes were pouring tears uncontrollably, whereas her body started to shiver.

At Night

Abhi came to the home after having some time with his mother.

Abhi thinks: Let me pack everything and go from this hell. I don't want to see her face again.

Abhi thought determinedly and went to Pragya's room. He became dumbstruck, when he saw Pragya, sitting on the floor, hugging her knees with tears. He has never seen her like this in any situation. He has never seen her broken. Keeping his anger aside, he went towards her and kept his hands on her shoulder. Pragya lifted her eyes and looked at him.

Suddenly, she clutched his collar and looked at him angrily.

Pragya shouted: Why did you make me remember that? Why did you do it?

Pragya screamed with tears, whereas Abhi became confused, seeing her.

Abhi: What are you talking about?

Pragya: Do you know how hard it is to forget it? Do you know how much I'm trying to forget it? But, you made me remember it again. Do you know how it feels? My head is bursting, and my heart is bleeding whenever I think about it. Why did you do it?

Pragya burst out, making Abhi dumbstruck.

Pragya: What you asked? Do you know how it would feel to lose the person we love the most? That's your question, na. Do you know how it would feel is you lose the one whom you love the most in front of your eyes. Do you know how it would feel if that person is your world? I swear you wouldn't have experienced it. You accused my love na. Whatever I did may be wrong, but my love for you was never a lie. I did all this so that I won't lose you like I lose that person before.

Abhi felt like someone is tearing his heart. Pragya pushed him and ran from there suddenly, whereas Abhi doesn't know how to handle it.

Abhi shouting: Pragya...

Abhi followed her. Pragya went to her terrace room and locked herself, whereas knocked on the door.

Abhi thinks: What would I do?

Abhi was dumbstruck, seeing Pragya's outburst. He doesn't know how to react to it.

He called Bulbul, but her phone was unreachable. He called Purab and asked him to call Bulbul immediately.

After Some time

He was staring at the room inside which she went an hour ago. Abhi's heart was suddenly filled with fear, seeing her not responding. He went towards the door, and to his surprise, the door was unlocked.

He entered the room and found it to be dark. He oned the lights and shock was an understatement for him after seeing Pragya's situation there.

Her room was filled with kids' toys, and she was lying in the mid of it. She was sleeping with her thumb on her mouth, sucking like a child. He noticed her, hugging a saree tightly. He kneeled in front of her and saw her, whose face was filled with tears trace. Then finally, his eyes landed on the photograph on the floor.
