Dharmesh: Pragya...

Dharmesh called her in a dangerous tone, whereas fear gripped inside Pragya. She closed her mouth tightly with her hands, controlling her sob.

Dharmesh: Pragya beta, look who has come.

Pragya closed her eyes tightly and started to pray in her mind.

Dharmesh: I'm your father. Come out, Pragya. If you come out like a good girl, papa won't do anything. I would make you sleep permanently. I will send you to your mother. But if you didn't come...

Dharmesh voice became rough and furious, whereas Pragya started to shiver in fear.

Dharmesh: I have to be rough. Come out...

Unknowing Pragya hits the nearby stuff, getting Dharmesh's attention. He smirked, seeing the direction of the sound.

Dharmesh: Game over. Papa caught you.

Dharmesh took slow steps to go towards her, whereas Pragya closed her eyes tightly. Her heartbeat started to beat faster, whereas her body shivers because of nervousness.

Suddenly

Dharmesh felt someone hitting on the back of his head. He turned and looked at Supriya, who beat him again, whereas he falls on the floor unconscious. Signing, Supriya rushed to Pragya and held her in her arms, whereas Pragya cried vigorously, seeing her mother dead.

Supriya: Don't worry dear. I'm there, na.

Supriya patted Pragya's back, comforting her. Supriya's breath hitches, when she saw Priya, lying on the floor dead. She noticed Dharmesh moving, and again she took a nearby vessel and hit him on his head.

She rushed from there before Dharmesh could catch them again. She came out and took Bulbul in her arm, who waiting outside. She went to her home and called the police and informed everything that happened. Police went to Priya's house and arrested Dharmesh.

Next Day

In Hospital

Supriya went to complete the procedures for Priya, whereas Pragya and Bulbul were sitting in the waiting room. Pragya was sitting with a pale face.

Bulbul: Don't worry Pragya.

Pragya turned and looked at Bulbul.

Pragya: Mamma has gone. I think God hates me; that's why everyone leaves me. First, my doggy went from me; then mamma also left me.

Pragya said and started to cry, whereas Bulbul wiped her tears.

Bulbul: We love you, Pragya. Won't leave you.

Pragya: Would you be with me always.

Bulbul: I will be.

Pragya: Pinky promise.

Pragya asked, showing her little finger, whereas Bulbul connected her finger with Pragya's.

Bulbul: Pinky promise.

A small smile crept in Pragya's lips.

Supriya came there.

Supriya: Shall we go darlings?

Supriya asked, caressing Pragya's cheek, wiping her tears.

Supriya: Auntie is there na. I will take care of you.

Pragya nodded, whereas Supriya held both of them' hands and left the town.

After that only, Supriya came to know about the truth. Priya is Dharmesh's first wife. Dharmesh is a businessman as well as an underground mafia's leader. He is a monster who kills innocent people ruthlessly.

In the beginning, Priya married him without knowing that he is a monster. But, after marriage only, she came to know about his actual colour. He started to torture her after the wedding. Priya tried to relieve herself from the marriage, but everything went in vain. Dharmesh loved Priya and lot, and he is very possessive about her. He wants her always in his clutch.

One Day, when Priya was pregnant, Dharmesh killed his father as he stood against him. This made Priya even more nervous. She doesn't want Pragya to grow in this circumstance. So, one day, without his knowledge, she left home.

After that, Priya managed to take care of Pragya as a single mother and made sure that Dharmesh doesn't know about their whereabouts. But everything collapsed when Dharmesh found Priya and killed her.

After Priya's death

Supriya took Pragya along with her. After that, even though Supriya took good care of Pragya, she didn't get the love she longed for. Also though people surround her, she felt lonely. Her only happiness was spending time with Bulbul.

Bulbul failed to notice Pragya's lonely side. During night times, Pragya used to dream about her mother's death and blabbers in sleep. There are a lot of days when she fears to sleep as those dreams haunt her.

Pragya has grown with these haunting memories, and she didn't feel free to share it with anyone. Even Bulbul didn't notice.

When Pragya was in her 12th grade.

Pragya and Bulbul went to school, whereas Supriya was cooking in the kitchen. She heard a calling bell sound and opened the door, only to witness Dharmesh there. Her breath hitched, seeing him along with one of his goons.

Supriya: You?

Dharmesh: How are you?

Dharmesh asked calm, yet in a threatening tone, entering into the house. Supriya gulped, seeing him.

Supriya: What do you want?

Dharmesh: I'm your husband, and I have all rights to know about my wife and my daughter.

Supriya: You are a monster.

Supriya said with a deadly glare, whereas Dharmesh smirked.S

Dharmesh: I'm not here to hurt you, Supriya. I'm here for her.

Supriya became nervous.

Supriya: Won't you stop hurting her. Already you have snatched her mother from here. Now you are again here. Why can't you leave her in peace?

Dharmesh shouted: She is the one because of which my Priya left me. Priya was in my control, and I was happy with her. But, when Priya realized that she is pregnant, she left me. She chooses that Pragya over me. I won't leave her alive.

Dharmesh roared furiously.

Supriya: You are the reason Priya left you. You are the one who tortured her, and that's why she left you.

Supriya snapped back, whereas Dharmesh closed his eyes, calming himself.

Supriya: I won't let anything happen to her.

Dharmesh: Then I have no other choice other than killing three of you. I have nothing to do with you, and you also can't do anything to me. I want her dead. If you leave her, then I would leave you and Bulbul free, or I have left with no other choice other than killing you three.

Supriya tried to fight with Dharmesh, but everything went in vain. So, without any other option, she accepted his terms.

When Pragya and Bulbul came home, they became horrified, seeing Dharmesh there. Pragya's heartbeat started to beat faster, whereas her breath hitched. Her throat choked, and she began to sweat. Bulbul held Pragya's hand tightly, comforting her.

Supriya came out, packing all her bags, whereas Pragya and Bulbul looked at her in confusion. Supriya looked at Pragya with guilt face, whereas Pragya's face was filled with fear. She went towards them.

Supriya: Come Bulbul, let's go.

Pragya: I'm also coming na.

Pragya asked, nervously looking at Dharmesh, who smirked. Supriya hugged Pragya tightly, whereas Pragya hugged her tightly, murmuring please under her breath.

Supriya: I'm sorry Pragya.

She said and went from there, holding Bulbul's hand, whereas Pragya screamed in fear for help.

Pragya screamed: Please auntie. Don't leave me here.

Bulbul tried to free herself from Supriya's grip.

Bulbul: Ma, please let me go. Why are you leaving Pragya with that monster? Let us get her also.

Bulbul said and looked at Pragya, who was looking at them with pleading eyes. Her eyes were continuously pouring tears with helplessness.

Supriya: I'm sorry, Bulbul. I have to do it. At least I have to save you.

Supriya said, and both looked at Pragya one last time before the door has been closed, hearing Pragya's scream.

Pragya screamed: Please don't leave me...

Bulbul and Supriya started to cry.

Bulbul: Let me go and help her.

Bulbul said and was about to go, but stopped hearing Supriya's words.

Supriya: You do not go there, Bulbul. It is a promise to me. You are not going there to help her.

Bulbul stomped her feet and started to cry. She ran to the other side of the house without hearing Supriya. She opened the backside window of the house to look at what is happening.

Pragya was sitting on the floor, crying, whereas Dharmesh was standing with a dirty smirk.

Dharmesh: Finally, you are here. Do you know who I'm?

Dharmesh asked, kneeling in front of her, who looked at him with fear.

Dharmesh: I'm your father you are my unwanted daughter. You are the reason my Priya left me, and you are going to pay for it.

Pragya stammered: Pl...please le...leave me...

Dharmesh: No, I can't. This time, not even the police can help you. And I won't do anything. My man would take care of you.

Dharmesh said and looked at his men who nodded. He smirked and went from there, whereas Pragya became nervous, seeing him. Slowly he came towards her, removing his shirt button, whereas Pragya's heart skipped a beat, seeing it.

Bulbul's eyes were pouring tears, whereas she felt helpless. Bulbul noticed Supriya approaching her.

Pragya moved backward, trying to escape from his clutch.

Pragya: Don't near me... Don't...

The man smirked when Pragya hits the wall. He pulled her and tried to misbehave with her, whereas Pragya protested. Bulbul and Supriya cried, seeing it.

Pragya tried a lot to free herself from his clutch but failed miserably. When she was about to give up, she noticed an iron rod near her. Without waiting for a second, Pragya took the rod and hit his head hard. Bulbul and Supriya gasped, seeing Pragya's action. When he again tried to touch her, she bet him repeatedly until he is dead.

The man was lying down on the floor dead, whereas Pragya was standing there emotionlessly.

Next Day

Pragya has been arrested for murder. She has been put in jail for one year. One lonely year. Bulbul and Supriya tried to speak with her, but Pragya was not ready to talk to them. She avoided them and spent jail life alone.

After one year

Pragya came out, whereas Bulbul and Supriya were waiting for her. They went and hugged her tightly, whereas Pragya was standing there emotionlessly. She didn't reciprocate their hug.

Bulbul: Now everything is solved Pragya.

Supriya: Come Pragya, let's leave this city. Come beta.

Pragya gave a sarcastic smile.

Pragya: You both are nothing to me. Our relationship was over when you both abandoned me. There is nothing between us.

Pragya said coldly and went from there, whereas Bulbul and Supriya felt guilty. They felt like someone is pricking their heart.

After coming out of jail, the first job Pragya did is killing her father. Pragya killed Dharmesh and made sure that there is no evidence. She made sure that the murder is a suicide and the police believed it and closed the file. After that, Pragya tricked and took over Dharmesh's business, which was going in loss, and within one year, she made it as top number one company. She succeeded as a businesswoman.

Pragya buried her emotions inside and showed only her arrogant face to the world. She made sure that she would get whatever she wants, in business as well as in life.
