Bold Italic - Pragya
Italic - Abhi

Everyone tried telling Abhi to forgive Pragya and be back together. But Abhi politely asked them not to interfere in his life.

Days went by and there was no improvement in Abhi changing his mind. He wasn't talking to Pragya and even if she called him, it was only she who was talking and his responses were cold.

King and Aaliya felt they need to put a full stop to this so they brought Pragya to Abhi's house.

Abhi who came down the stairs saw the trio and he gave an aloof look towards them.

Aaliya,"Bhai! What do you want now? She already apologise to you then what else is there for her to do?"

I need to go to office. Will talk about this later.

Aaliya, "No Bhai! You have to talk about this right now."

I am not in a mood to talk about that.

King, "Aaliya.... Don't pressurise him...."

Pragya was all the while silent and was just looking at Abhi who wasn't looking at her at all.

Abhi then leaves towards the door when he realizes someone was following him.

Aaliya....why do you need to follow me now?

Aaliya," It's not me! I am still here!"

Then who is it?

He asked turning back and sees Pragya was the one who was behind him.

Why are you following me?

Wo... I... Work...

I have no time! Will you stop stammering and tell me quickly!

Aaliya comes beside Pragya and said,
"She is your new PA!"

What? No way!

Aaliya, "I have decided it Bhai. I can't be coming with you to manage your work anymore. So I hired a new PA for you who understands you well."

Then your choice is a bad one as she doesn't understands me well. She didn't even trust me!

Pragya hearing that feels hurt with her eyes closed and he further says,
I don't need a PA! There are other staff in my office to help me out.

Aaliya," No Bhai. This time your schedule is very tight and you need someone to remind your appointments and also take care of you."

Abhi sighs and rolls his eyes. Pragya looks at him yearningly in response.

Aaliya, "Bhai.... Just try her once!"

Try her once? Watch your words Aaliya!

King seeing this smiles inwardly and Abhi, Look Aaliya, I have no time for her.

Aaliya, "She is jobless! Do you remember that Bhai?"

Abhi sees Pragya and she nods her head in response.

Aaliya, "She was suppose to go to Delhi but she had to reject that offer after she agreed for contract marriage. Now if she applies for another job, it will take time. Until then you have to allow her to work with you as your PA. After all, the contract marriage was suppose to be with you and not someone else."

Abhi knows Pragya needs to work to support her family financially. She have told him before it's only after she starts to work, her dad has reduced his working hours.

Abhi takes a deep breath and says, Alright! Come!

Aaliya," I am not coming Bhai!"

I referred to her Aaliya!

Pragya smiled widely and hugged Aaliya in happiness.

Abhi muttered to himself, It's not as if I said I love you to her. Why is she overreacting?

He then walks away making Pragya follow him as well.

In the car, there was more silence and Pragya tried to talk but he was already having his headset and listening to music.

After reaching the office, the interaction between them was completely professional. The staff in his office were only curious how could both be professional when they knew they both love each other!

There were gossips going around in the office but both didn't care about it.

It was when everyone had left, they were alone in his cabin and then Pragya starts to tell, I didn't know you have work in office too. I thought you only work on your albums. After Aaliya told me, I got to know you have work at office too.

Abhi looks back at her with a straight face.

Ms. Pragya, this itself tells that how much you know about me or how much you had tried to know about me. That's fine! Let me explain, I can't only rely on working on music for income. I also use my music as a business avenue for income. If not how do you think I earn so much?

Abhi... Please... Don't be like this to me.

It's Mr. Abhi or sir for you.

There's no one around and that's why I called you Abhi. Throughout the day, I called you as sir na....

You're still working as my PA!

It's not office hours anymore...

But still a PA!

Okay I am sorry. I know I never had an interest to know about your professional life. I should have made an effort to know about it.

I don't have time Ms. Pragya!

He said by looking at his laptop on the table.

It's Mrs Pragya Mehra! And please listen to what I have to say.

Just to remind you.... We are not married yet and I don't think it will happen soon too. So you're still Ms. Pragya!

Abhi... Please.... You're dragging it too much now. I know I was at fault and I have said sorry so many times. What else you expect me to do to get your forgiveness!

Nothing!

No! There is something you want me to do! Just tell me! I am ready to do anything!

It's really nothing!

Hugs and kisses?

Not interested!

More than hugs and kisses....

Not interested! Wait! What did you even say?

You heard me correctly!

I had already had na in your imagination that too with Tanu. So I am not that desperate for it.

Abhi please.... Why are you doing like this!

Now don't make a fuss and go to your house. I don't want your parents to worry about you.

You worry about my parents but not about me? It's unfair!

I worry about them as at least Mohan uncle trust me!

She sighs and doesn't know what else to do to convince him.

Just then he handed her a file which he took it from the drawer.

Read the contents in this file and get back to me by tomorrow. Bye!

He said and left leaving her to go through the file. Whatever she was reading was making her more tensed.

What's all this? Why is he doing like this!!!

Pragya hurriedly packs her bag and leaves the cabin. She hoped she can see him.

Luck was in her favour as he was waiting for her in his car.

She sits beside him in his car.

He starts to drive once she had wear her seat belt.

This is a wrong way! How can you go like this?

I am going in the right way to your house.

I am not talking about the direction to my house. I am talking about the file you gave me.

What's wrong in that?

Everything is wrong. How can you think of divorce before our marriage?

You had thought about contract marriage and I can't think about divorce ah?

But I told you already, it was a misunderstanding from my side. Why are you not understanding it?

Ms.Pragya, I am not forcing you but you are left with no choice too as everyone is aware of our relationship.

But Abhi... Have you lost trust in me to the extent that you will divorce if any situation arises in future of me not trusting you again?

You made this happen! Even now, I trust you that you love me. But....
I can't trust you that you trust in my love for you!

Abhi... I am sorry! Just give me a chance to prove that I do trust in your love for me.

I am giving you that chance and that is the marriage between us. And at the same time, I am giving you a warning which is the divorce papers I have already signed. If anything that makes me feel again you lost trust in my love for you then I can't help other than divorcing you.

I will make sure that never happens!

You have to sign the papers too!

No... I won't......

You have to! If not the marriage won't happen!

Are you mad? What if the divorce papers gets approved by mistake as there is both our signatures on it? I can't afford to let that happen.

No such thing will happen as it will be safe with me.

No.... I really can't.... Signing divorce papers even before marriage is not right. The divorce papers are not even right at all! It won't be legally applicable!

Now don't talk like a lawyer to me. I have my own ways to handle everything. It's just a signature I am asking for!

But Abhi....

You have reached your house! I know the file is still with you. Get back to me tomorrow! Your one signature will define whether our marriage will be happening or not. Think about it carefully!

She knows it's futile to talk to him further so she gets from his car.

She never looks back. Her thoughts were on the divorce papers that he had gave her.

Later in the night,

If I sign this.... No! How can I sign this? It's not right!

Just then she got the call from him.

Have you signed it?

That was the first thing he asked which made her frustrated.

You called me! But the first thing you ask about this! This is very bad! I hate you!

I have no choice. I can't help it!

Abhi.... This is the worse feeling you can give me. How can I sign for something that is about breaking our relationship even before our relationship becomes official? Don't you feel bad about it?

No!

No?

Yes it's a no!

She ends the call immediately and Abhi gasped but didn't call her back again.

Pragya anrgily keeps the file back in her bag.

Sneek peek to next part,

Abhi.... I have something to tell you.

Have you signed the papers?

She sighed and says, Haan!

Thanks!

Will you now hear to me what I have to say?

Sure!

She then tells about her decision. He heard it and she was expecting him to be shocked. But no his reaction was opposite to what she thought of.

Thank you everyone for reading! Hope it is interesting!😊
