Forgive me for not being regular in updating my stories. This chapter is not a long one and I might have blabbered in this chapter. I'm not sure whether it came out well or not. Please excuse me for the mistakes which I have made.

At 9:30

After getting ready, Pragya came out to the lawn. Her eyes were filled with surprise, seeing the arrangement in front of her eyes. There was a dining table decorated beautifully along with food arranged in it along with a bonfire beside the table. The entire place was glowing in the darkness. But her heart was heavy and painful, thinking about what she is going to do. She has to do it.

Pragya looked at Abhi, who was standing there, smiling happily. Her heart fluttered, seeing Abhi's smiling face. He started walking towards Pragya and offered his hands.

Abhi: You are looking gorgeous.

Pragya held his hand, murmuring thanks. Abhi took her to the table and made her sit on the chair. He went towards the chair opposite to her and sat on it.

Pragya: The arrangement is beautiful.

Abhi: Not as much as you are.

Pragya blushed, hearing his compliment. Abhi starts to serve the food and Pragya gave a small nervous smile to him. Both start to have their food. Abhi was kept on speaking, trying to cheer her mood, but nothing worked. Pragya tried her level best to pretend to be happy. She wasn't able to take her mind away from that.

After eating the food, Abhi offered his hand and Pragya gave a confused look. Abhi gestured her to hold it. Pragya held his hand nervously. Abhi made her stand and wrapped his hands around her waist.

Abhi: What happened to you? I'm noticing you since yesterday. You are not fine.

Abhi asked and Pragya was kept on looking at his eyes. 'This is the right time. I can do it.' Pragya exhales a breath in determination.

Abhi: What's the problem love?

Abhi asked softly, caressing her cheek with this thumb.

Pragya: There is something I need to tell you, Abhi. Please try to understand whatever I say.

Pragya said, bringing up strength inside her.

Abhi: Yes, tell me.

Pragya gulped the tears, which were about to flow from her eyes.

Pragya: We can't be together Abhi. Let's end this.

Abhi frowns, hearing it.

Abhi: What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Pragya: I'm talking about our relationship. I don't think that we can continue it.

Abhi started to laugh hearing her. Pragya was looking at him with a confused look.

Abhi: If this is any kind of prank, let me tell you, it sucks.

Pragya bits inside her mouth, controlling her tears.

Pragya: Abhi, I'm serious. We can't be together.

Abhi: Let me tell you seriously. Whatever you are saying sucks.

Abhi said, pretending to be serious.

Pragya: I'm serious. I want to break up with you.

Abhi frowns in confusion, hearing it. His hold on her waist becomes tighter.

Abhi: You are out of your mind. Why are you speaking like this?

Pragya: Because I can't be with you. Please try to understand.

Abhi: WHAT THE HELL?

Abhi shouted angrily. He held her arms angrily, looking into her eyes. Pragya hissed in pain, as he gripped the hold.

Abhi: Why?

Pragya: Abhi, you are hurting me.

Abhi: Why?

Abhi roared and Pragya jumps, hearing his voice.

Pragya: Because I don't love you.

Abhi felt a sting of pain in his heart, hearing her reply.

Abhi: You are lying.

Pragya: I thought that I can love you. But I can't. I realized it when you proposed to me. We can't be together Abhi.

Abhi gave a deadly glare to her. Pragya knows that her lie is not appropriate, but she has no other way. She has to break up with him. She can't afford any more problems for her parents.

Abhi: You are blabbering.

'I know...' Pragya though embarrassed.

Pragya: I'm not. Whatever I'm telling you is true.

Abhi: If it's true then why didn't you tell me about this when I told you how much you mean to me and how much I love you? Why you didn't tell me about this when I was kissing you? Why didn't you tell me about this before arranging this birthday surprise? Why you gave me those hopes?

Abhi asked with tears in his eyes and Pragya's face became pale, seeing him.

Abhi: I can clearly see that you are lying. But why?

Pragya: I'm not lying Abhi.

Abhi: I want the reason. Why?

Pragya felt helpless.

Pragya: We used to hate each other. We used to fight with each other.

Abhi: But for the past few months, nothing like that happened.

Pragya bits her lips, thinking about what to say.

Pragya: You are too rich and I'm not.

Abhi: I don't care.

Pragya: I care. My parents care.

Abhi: I can solve it. I can speak with your parents.

Pragya closed her eyes and calmed herself. With determination, Pragya spoke.

Pragya: From the beginning, I know that we won't work, Abhi. But it has been proven now.

Abhi: Everything was going fine. Why are you speaking such stupid things?

Pragya: Because I don't love you Abhi. I have never loved you. I pretended to be loving you so that you could be happy. I thought it would work between us. But it won't. Just leave me and don't come to me again.

Pragya said and went from there, whereas Abhi was standing there, broken.

Pragya starts to walk with tears in her eyes. Whatever she said there is a lie and she blabbered there. Basically, she is not good at lying and hiding her feeling. But this time she has no other choice. She didn't get any valid reason to hate him, because she loves him. She loves him to the core.

'I'm sorry Abhi. I'm so sorry. I have left with no other choice. I know that you didn't believe whatever I said, but I have no other choice. We can't be together after this and I hate your mother for this. She is the one who pushed me into such a situation. I know that it's wrong, but I feel like I want to break her face.'

Pragya wrapped her hands around her, hugging herself. She started chewing up her lower lips as tears escaped from her eyes. Wiping her tears, she continued to walk.

Pragya looked around and her breath hitched, seeing the dark forest pathway through which she has to go. Fear engulfed inside her. She started to walk slowly. She gulped in fear when she felt someone behind her. Pragya turned and left a relief breath, seeing Abhi.

Pragya: Abhi?

Abhi: Come and sit inside the car, I will drop you.

Abhi said in a serious tone.

Pragya: I can manage.

Abhi: Don't argue. It's not safe to go alone. Come.

Pragya: No.

Pragya said and starts to walk. Abhi exhales a breath and within a second, he pulled her and throws her on his shoulder.

Praya: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? LET ME DOWN.

Without hearing her scream, Abhi took her to the car and put her down on the passenger seat. Abhi came closer to her and kept both his hands on both her side.

Abhi: Just keep quiet until I drop you at your house. Already you have dropped a bomb and I need time to process it. So, please.

Abhi requested and Pragya looked at him silently, accepting his request.

The whole ride was deadly silent. Abhi has kept a stern look and Pragya was kept on glazing at him from time to time.

They reached Pragya's house. Pragya turned and looked at Abhi, who was sitting there silently. Without saying anything, Pragya opens the door and was about to get out, but Abhi held her hand firmly.

Pragya turns and looks at Abhi, who was sitting there with an angry look.

Pragya: I need to go.

Pragya said and tried to free her hand from his grip.

Abhi: You told me what you want to say. Now, listen to me.

Abhi said and looked at Pragya, who was sitting there nervously.

Abhi: I know that whatever you said is a lie and I don't know the reason behind you. But, whatever happens, YOU ARE MINE. ONLY MINE. I will find out what you are hiding and I will make you mine.

Abhi came closer and Pragya's breath hitched, feeling his lips on her ears.

Abhi: I will make you mine and it's a promise.

Saying this Abhi kissed her earlobe and Pragya gulped, feeling his kiss.

Teaser

Pragya: What the hell are you doing here?

Abhi: Wrong question dear. You are standing in my company.

Pragya became horrified, hearing it. Abhi's lips curved to a smile, seeing her reaction.

Pragya: What do you mean it's your office? This is Prem Constructions, not Mehra Groups of Company.

Abhi: Did you forgot my full name?

Pragya looked at him thoughtfully.

Abhi: Abhishek Prem Mehra.

Pragya was dumbstruck when reality hits her. She has to work under him.

Pragya: That means...?

Abhi: That means Ms. Arora, I'm your boss and you are my secretary.

I hope you all like this.
