Moving On With The Reality..

"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves,
or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pragya remained silent listening to Abhi.. While she saw a drop of tears emerging from a corner of his eyes.. she felt an unusual emotion taking over her.. Abhi looks at her with a guilt filled face and Pragya walks closer to him..

Finally.. breaking the silence.. she says... Abhishek.. our past is done.. It's over.. so just forget it..!.. She sounded convincing him..

Abhi looked at her saying.. you know Pragya.. Forgetting is difficult but remembering is worse..!.. She was feeling helpless in front him and his painful words..

She gets more closer to him and wipes of his tears.. But Abhi couldn't control himself anymore.. He leaned over her and threw his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly by pitting his cheeks over her tummy..

And Pragya couldn't resist him.. she just ruffled his hair to make him feel better and he felt her tears touching his forehead.. And he realised that he is hugging her.. where he doesn't wanted to make himself so close to her, which might hurt her..

He thought.. No Abhi.. Not this time.. You will be surely hurted .. this isn't right Abhi..!.. what are you doing..!?.. this is not the way out to make things.. This is not easy..
It's gonna make everything more complicated..!..

He let her go away with a slight push.. and Pragya again neared him while he stopped her showing his palm..

I know what are you going through.. but you know what..!?.. it was not your mistake.. infact I know how it would have been for you on that time.. to choose between your love and respect.. And I respect your love..

Not everyone does this Abhishek.. and I really feel blessed to earn your friendship.. It's my good destiny to get a person like you as my friend.. who chose the girl he loved and his heart, which isn't willing to cheat itself.. Pragya spoke wiping her tears..

He looked at her with his stunning eyes.. and just kept ogling at her.. Who further says.. I think you need sometime to be alone.. saying so she went off while he looked her leaving his cabin with much of iniquity..

Days passed..

Most of the time Abhi stayed in office.. Even whenever he goes home.. his two sisters Sonakshi and Bulbul started to avoid him.. which made him to feel that he is an unwanted person living in his own house..

Though his mother knows about his pain.. she kept quiet as she wanted him to take his own space of his life..

And with Purab.. he hardly speaks with Abhi.. as Abhi himself distanced his presence with Purab.. Also Purab cleared Sonakshi's issue as per Pragya's idea.. He arranged for a press meet and explained that it was all a misunderstanding.. and also narrated what happened exactly.. Which has result Vikram was arrested by police..

" '' '' '' '' '' '' '' ''

On the other side..

Pragya was staying away from him.. after that day with Abhi.. she didn't call him nor message him.. she herself doesn't know why.. But she was firm in her decision of not to disturb him after that..

About Dev.. he now started to speak well with Sonakshi after that incident.. he treated her as a good friend while she felt very comfortable with his nature..

Dev too thought like.. why was he been so rude with her before.. what is her fault .. when everything was done by Abhi.. yet.. his anger on Abhi didn't calm down..

On the side, he felt good spending time with Sonakshi..

It was one such day..

Pragya was as usual getting ready for her work.. she was stepping down the stairs for breakfast.. when she got a call from Bulbul.. she attended the call and spoke something while her mother was noticing her.. after ending the call she silently walked towards the breakfast table and started to have her tea..

She saw her mother turning to leave.. and called her.. Ishwari turned and gestured as what..!?.. and she looked at her silently.. Pragya.. what is it..!?.. you are looking so reserved.. any problem.!?.. Pragya blinked her eyes and gave a blank look..

And her mother said.. you are getting late nah.. next week is Bulbul's wedding and you have lot of works to do.. how will you manage alone in a short span of time..!?..

Pragya was surprised hearing to her and she holds her cheeks saying.. I know everything.. yesterday evening Sonakshi's mother spoke with me and Bulbul too.. I know how odd it is.. But I don't want to hurt anyone just because of the past..

Just go ahead and continue with your work.. I'm so proud of you and Dev.. Ishwari says, which eased Pragya and made her tensions away..

Pragya stood and gave her a tight hug.. and says.. .. I love you ma..!.. Ishwari smiles back at her saying.. Nothing is important for me than my daughter's happiness..

And what about me..?!.. A voice came from back and both of them turned to see Dev standing..

Of course you too..!.. Ishwari says and gestures him to come towards her..

And again Pragya got a call and it was Bulbul.. This girl nah.. she will not let me to stay at home here after..

Let me rush up there.. saying so she walked and Dev asked.. Di.. shall I drop you.!?..

Pragya looked back at him in shock.. as he always hesitates to hear even the name of Mehra's.. She nods her head and they started in his car..,

After reaching.. she stepped out and waved bye to her saying.. Di... shall I come with you..!?.. I mean.. can you manage alone..?!.. like ma said.. next week is the wedding.. will you be able to manage everything alone..?!..

She was surprised of his words and thought.. "Is this really Dev..!.. this much change in him.. but why suddenly.. anyway I'm relaxed that here after he won't show any hatred for them.."..

She was interrupted by Dev.. Di.. I asked you something?!.. Pragya softly smiles and said.. But.. you will get late to office right.. ?!..

Office... Dev stresses his voice and then says.. No issues di.. today no meetings.. and for few days I will be free only.. I think I can help you in Bulbul's wedding arrangements..

Even I want to observe how is your work and everything.. Pragya gave an assuring nod.. while he too stepped out of the car..

Pragya greeted Ragini and Bulbul... who were very happy to see her back.. at the same time surprised to see Dev in their home..

They were discussing about the wedding arrangements.. While Pragya was looking all around the house.. she looked at Bulbul and smiles at her and asks.. where is Sonakshi..!?..

No no Pragya.. she is in upstairs.. In her room.. Pragya stood up as well as Dev.. and Pragya gestured as what..!?.. he smiles at her and looking at Ragini said... Aunty.. shall I met Sonakshi..!?.. He waited for her permission, while Ragini nods her head with a smile..

Both of them walked upstairs.. while Pragya got a call and asked Dev to go ahead.. she will be back in a while..

After ending the call.. Pragya walked upstairs and looked around to find no one.. stepping ahead she saw a room.. and walked towards it.. peeping inside the room.. she looks around to check if there is anyone.. and slowly she walked in sliding the door.. she found the room empty... she heard some noise deep inside the room and looked at Abhi's photos all over the wall..

She was about to get near.. when she saw someone behind the wardrobe door.. she rushed behind the other side of the bed and hided herself.. she peeped her eyes out lifting her head.. and was astonished to see Abhi closing the door..

Her eyes widened in boggle as her breath went uneven.. where Abhi was standing shirtless..

With Sonakshi..

Sonakshi was happy to see Dev and they both were talking inside their room.. He was ogling at all her photos, and Sonakshi kept glaring at him..

Your photos look good.. Dev says and she gave him a weak smile..

And she asks looking at him.. Mr. Dixit.. Is everything alright..?!.. Suddenly you are here at my house..!?..

Dev gave a casual smile and says.. Actually.. I came to drop Pragya di.. and thought of seeing you.. How are you..!?..

She winked her eyes saying.. I'm good.. You didn't go to hospital today.. Dev asks and she stood silent.. he was about to speak again.. But stopped as she got a call and was shocked at once.. and Dev looked wondrous..!..

With Abhi..

Here.. Abhi was nearing the mirror that was on the other side of the bed.. where Pragya was hiding.. He gave a jerk.. when Pragya stood up suddenly by closing her eyes..

He was knockout to see her and then himself.. pulling the shirt that was on the bed.. he wore it as soon as fast he could and gasps looking at her.. He gets close to her and asks.. Pragya.. you are here..?!..

She opened her one eye and then the other one.. she gave a knotty sight and cleared her throat saying.. I came here for Bulbul and Purab's wedding arrangements.. We just have a week left for their wedding nah..!..

Abhi then looked at the near by table calender and his mind pressed marking about the wedding date.. while she continued.. I was in search of Sonakshi.. by mistake got into your room.. Abhi gave a smile and nods his head.. but again his mind striked.. But.. why was she hiding..?!..

He was about to ask her the same.. while she got to know what he is gonna ask.. Pragya diverted him saying.. Your room looks classy.., Infact like being classy.. who is the interior designer..?!..

Abhi hooked his eyes at her as he got to know that she is diverting him..

With Sonakshi..

After ending the call.. she looked at him and he gestured as what..!?.. and she says something that shocked him.. the next second he dragged her out of the room.. and all the way towards downstairs.. and she was asking him to leave her hand.. but he kept dragging her..
