Back to Past..

The same day, at evening..

Abhi.. It started drizzling.. you are still in court.. let's leave before it pours heavy.. Sandy said packing his sports bag..

If you want, you can leave.. But, I wanna practice for some more time.. Abhi said kicking the ball..

Some more time..?.. Abhi.. I know why you are saying this... you saw her walking into the library.. you know that she will come out late.. that's why you are giving foot ball as an excuse.. isn't it..?!.. Sandy asks..

Sandy.. when you know everything.. why do you ask me questions..?.. Abhi mocks at him.. And Sandy replies with the same mocking tone.. Because I want to hear from you..!.. but why do you want to do that.. when you don't want to talk with her.. fine.. even I don't want to..!..

Stop blabbering.. go and get me a cup of coffee from canteen.. Abhi ignored answering him saying so.. throwing him a aggrieved sight.. Sandy left the place.. and he continued kicking the ball..

'' '' '' " "

Abhi.. It's 6.30.. because of you we are stuck here.. it started raining now.. Why are.. .. he paused looking at Pragya who was stepping out of the library..

Abhi.. lets hide.. if she sees us.. then she will think that we are waiting for her.. come on.. saying so Sandy pulled him.. but Abhi stood stiff.. and Sandy kept pulling him with a full force..

Meantime.. Pragya neared them and mumbles softly.. these two are still here..!.. are they waiting for me..?!.. she saw Abhi in sports dress and his foot ball over the ground..

Oh.. they were practicing..!.. She chuckles murmuring her irates.. She slowed her steps looking at them.. and Abhi turned aside and pretended to be normal.. and Sandy cheered his smile unnaturally at Pragya..

Giving them a weird look.. she walked crossing them.. as they cornered their sight at her till she reached the end of the corridor.. she stood there for a second and turned towards them.. and they weren't present..

Where did they disappear suddenly.. just now they were there..!.. she mumbles softly and looks all around the place.. after then.. she pulled out the umbrella from her bag and left the place..

As she reached the main gate.. she heard a long horn behind her.. which stipulated that.. two of them are behind her.. but she stepped ahead without minding them... she heard a loud long horn again..

No Pragya.. don't turn..!.. she steadied herself striking so and kept walking ahead..

' ' ' ' ' ' '

After few minutes..

Try to understand Pragya.. everywhere it is flooded.. it's unsafe for you to walk home alone.. So come with us.. we will drop you at your home.. Sandy said sliding over the bike..

Pragya sniggered with a sigh and says.. From when did you both start to precise about me..?.. And Abhi gave her an redundant look..

While Pragya continued.. I know to take care of myself.. I don't need others help.. she stressed her tone looking at Abhi.. while Sandy gave a pessimistic look at him..

Haan.. I know.. why will you need our help.. when you.. .. before Sandy could speak further.. the ponderous rain hit them.. And Pragya struggled to open her umbrella.. in meantime Abhi gestured Sandy..

Within a fraction of second.. Pragya was dragged towards the bike.. and Sandy hasted her to sit over the bike.. as soon as she sat.. he took his seat behind her and Abhi whoosed riding the bike hurriedly..

!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡

At Present...

Robin's unstable voice plucked both Dadi and Sandy's patience..
What.. what happened to Abhi..!?
Dadi asked.. and just then they heard loud thudding noises continuously..

Rushing towards him.. they saw him banging Pragya's room door.. and Sandy held him to protest doing it.. but he pushed him with a raving force.. that made him to hit the floor.. and finally.. Dadi sounded loudly saying.. Abhi.. Pragya is not here.. stop your madness..

Pragya is not here.. where is she then..?.. Abhi asks restlessly and Sandy says.. She is safe.. not as you think.. she is safe in your guest house.. She wasn't keeping well.. I sent her to Bulbul.. so that she will feel better..

Fine.. I will go there and stay with her.. Abhi says and quickens his steps to downstairs.. while Dadi and Sandy followed him..

Meantime.. they saw Tanu walking in by blocking Abhi's way.. she stood glaring her eyes at him.. who returned the same to her..

I want to speak with you..!.. Tanu says sternly and stood staring at him.. 

Abhi ignores her and walks across, but Tanu holds his hand.. He turns and shoves her hand away forcibly and louds his voice saying.. Just get lost from my sight.. I don't want to talk with you..

But I want to speak with you Abhi.. even if you don't wish.. She says and holds his arm again.. Abhi grins his teeth and    pushes her away.. He stormed out of the house.. while Sandy and Dadi smirked at Tanu who gave them an odious look..

You deserve more worse than this Tanu.. and the day is not too far.. that day I was quiet when Abhi took a step to marry you.. But today I regret for being dumb, even after knowing that his decision was wrong.. Mark my words Tanu.. You will be pushed out of this house by the same Abhi, who once brought you inside this house.. Dadi sounded rigid..

Are you challenging me..?.. Tanu asks throwing her a tight glare.. While Dadi chuckles at her and says.. Challenge..!.. Fine.. Take this as my challenge.. And I will win this challenge.. Dadi sounded in a  despise tone..

Tanu was about to yell.. But Dandy walks forward and holds Dad's shoulder.. She flips her looks in between them and then walks into her room..

Did you see.. how mannerless she is..!.. I still don't know why Abhi chose her.. I pleaded him alot, to not marry her.. But he was blinded by her father's respect.. And now, she is dancing on our heads.. Dadi prattle her words.. ..

Let her go Dadi.. I feel disgustful when she sounds.. This is not gonna last longer.. Like you said.. we all want her to get out of Abhi's life.. And now, Abhi to got to know about her ugly side.. Sandy says..

I'm so thankful to God, that at least now Abhi got to know about her.. Dadi says..

But Dadi.. We should not leave Abhi alone at this time.. Sandy says and Dadi nods.. After which and they two left the house..

"" "" "" ""

Are you sure.. She is fine..?!.. Bulbul asks throwing her eyes at Pragya from the balcony.. who was sitting in the lawn all alone under the tree..

I'm not Sure.. But she will be fine.!.. Nisha said sipping the coffee.. What do you mean by that..?!.. Bulbul asked..

Kishore walked towards them from back saying.. she meant that.. Pragya will surely be fine.. but not now.. she is struggling to get herself out of what happened with her today.. do you think is that so easy..?.. we should leave her alone.. always she is the best friend to herself.. as far as I know..

The girls felt the intense meaning of his words.. while Nisha got a message from Sandy..

"Abhi is on the way to meet Pragya.. I and Dadi are following him.. make sure that, he doesn't gets hyper.. and especially with Pragya.."

"Okay.." She replied.. and informed the other two..

!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡

Back to Past..

I don't know why he is pestering me this much for all these recent days.. all the while he ignored me..he didn't even utter an unwanted gaze at me.. but today, what he did was out of my patience..!.. I wish, I could have punched his cheeks to turn till red for what he did with me today..!.. Pragya slammed the door along with her vigorous voice..

Mumbling with all her frustrations, she noticed Bulbul who remained quiet with her fixed at the mirror..

Nearing her, Pragya pats her shoulder.. but Bulbul didn't respond.. Bulbul.. Where are you lost... did you even noticed me..?!.. Pragya asks.. and Bulbul sighted unwittingly..

Bulbul.. what happened.. did Chachi say you something..?.. did she.. .. before Pragya could complete.. Bulbul pressed her lips and sounded witlessly.. No.. di.. no she didn't.. I was just.. thinking about.. ..

Thinking about what Bulbul..?!.. Pragya interrupted questioning her.. and Bulbul says.. Nothing di.. I'm feeling very tired.. shall I rest for some time..?..

Bulbul.. are you hiding anything from me..?.. Pragya asked and Bulbul shooked her head gently as no.. Okay.. rest for some time.. I will go and prepare dinner for you.. Pragya says and Bulbul rested over the bed by cuddling the pillow close to her..

What happened to her..?.. Did Chachi scold her for anything..?!.. She murmurs walking into the kitchen..

Pragya beta.. Are you okay..?!.. Chandu Kaka asks, who was busy with cooking..

Kaka.. Did Chachi scold Bulbul for anything..?.. She isn't looking fine.. She asks..

No.. Bulbul baby was looking dull when she reached home.. When I enquired, she did didn't answer me properly.. Choti Madam didn't come out of her room after lunch.. He says..

What  happened to her then..?.. Why is looking so dull..?!.. Pragya mulishes her worries..

'' '' '' ''

In Abhi's house..

No.. I won't let you do that Abhi.. why are you poking your nose unwantedly..?.. that's disgraceful man.. Sandy sounded sternly and took a sip of the coffee..

Why shouldn't I..?.. infact she should have informed this before.. how can she take such a decision without asking me once..!?.. Abhi scowls his voice..

Sandy fumed firing his sight at him.. and Abhi doomed his voice saying.. Okay.. don't give me that look.. at least she should have informed us.. that she is gonna do such thing.. But she didn't..!..

I said.. let it go.. if she doesn't even cares that much for us.. why should we expect from her..!?.. you are lamely worrying about her Abhi.. Sandy sounded unerringly..

I'm not worried..!.. I'm just speaking out my heart.. my.. my concern for her.. she is our friend man.. Don't we have that right too.. to question her..?.. Abhi tightens his fingers around the coffee cup.. saying so..

Yes.. I too concern about her.. she is my friend too.. but I'm not jittering like you are..!.. says Sandy.. and Abhi edged his eyes at him saying.. Because I'm.. I'm not like you.. I.. my perturb for her is more than you..

That is what I'm asking.. why are you.. when I'm not..?!.. Sandy's voice turned much more solid.. while Abhi stayed noiseless looking away from him.. Abhi.. will you say something.. I'm waiting for your answer.. Sandy said biting his lips..

Abhi hit his head back at the wall saying.. I don't know.. but I will surely question her.. I will ask her.. it's my right on her.. she has to answer me for everything.. for each and everything.. that's it..!..

Sandy felt the deep intuit of his words.. and Abhi left the room

!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡

At Present..

Why did you come here..?.. you are gonna put me under risk.. Just now Abhi left the house.. Sandy and Dadi too..!.. Tanu said locking her room door from inside.. and Nikhil relaxed himself over the bed..

I know.. I saw them leaving.. and those two were at his back.. he says.. Means.. you were outside my house and watching over..?!.. asked Tanu..

Haan.. Actually you left your purse in my car.. I tried calling you many times.. but you didn't attend.. then I was about to leave, when I saw them leaving.. he replied..

It was in silent mode.. That's fine.. now leave.. before anyone could come.. Tanu hurried her voice.. and he said.. Calm yourself sweetheart.. I don't think that they will get back soon.. by the way.. I have some surprise for you..!..

Surprise.. what is that..!?.. She shrinked her eyes asking him.. and he pulled out his mobile showing her something.. Tanu stood confounded looking at his mobile..

"" "" "" ""

In Abhi's guest house..

Abhi.. please.. not now.. let her take some rest.. she is already very fragile.. she was all the while being in forlorn.. with much difficulity I had made her eat dinner.. and she is asleep now.. I hope you understand.. Nisha says looking at Abhi who stood in front of the room where Pragya is in..

I will not disturb her Nisha.. I swear.. I just want to be at her side.. always.. I don't want to leave her alone.. at any time.. and especially tonight.. Once I did a mistake by leaving her alone.. but not anymore.. I have promised her that I won't leave her alone at any cost.. Abhi clutched the handle of the door and pleaded his words..

His eyes were drowned with the pale tears that traced down over his cheeks.. his hands were quivering with breach.. While his legs were ready to swing into the room..

Nisha looked at Sandy.. who gestured her.. and the next second.. Abhi squalled inside and caught her sleeping over the bed.. Sandy closed the door.. and held Nisha's arm by walking away from the place..

Why did you let him inside..?.. he is not steady.. nor Pragya.. I don't want any other soreness between them.. you know how much disturbed she is..?!.. And after what happened today,  she too much in distress..!.. Nisha sounded curt..

Nishu.. he is not at fault.. Infact he was shocked looking at everything.. He stood helpless.. Sansy defended Abhi..

Don't take his side Sandy.. I just can't understand, why Abhi is not letting out his heart to her.. he had so many opportunities.. in past.. and in present too.. but he is still scrunched.. but for what.. why is he..?.. Nisha asked him..

Yes he had.. he had all the elegant opportunities with him.. to tell her about his love.. but he was scared to lose her friendship.. Though, he geared up one day.. the day before our farewell night.. he decided to propose her.. he was all ready and well prepared.. he kept his fear and nervousness aside.. Sandy says giving a quick simpering smile..

Then, why didn't he do that..?!.. Nisha asks in a annoyed tone..
I still remember that.. what he said to me on that day.. a part of him inside felt very guilty, that he is cheating Pragya.. by hiding his love from her.. I felt him very silly.. you know.. Even this second I find him and his antics amusing.. everyday he used to adore her presence around him.. he never felt alone when she was with him.. he longed for her love.. and at the same time he felt angst to tell her about it..

Absolutely stupid.. I know that he has those special feelings for her.. infact I was expecting the same from Pragya.. I and Bulbul had a bet that who will propose first.. but suddenly everything got vanished.. that one night changed our fates.. Nisha sounded fretful..

I still hope that, they will finally get together.. after all, they have met each other beyond all these hurdles.. I'm sure it will be meaningful.. if not for them.. at least for the new life.. which is gonna define their love..!.. Sandy sounded trustful..

But Sandy.. what about Tanu and Nikhil..?.. these two are the very big hurdle now..!.. Nisha voiced discerningly.. We don't have to get scared or insecure about them.. because by the time Abhi must have understood about Tanu and her nature.. I think this will lead him to know about Nikhil too..

You two didn't sleep still.. A voice came from behind.. and they turned facing Dadi standing there..

We were just talking about Abhi and Pragya.. Sandy says.. While Dadi sighs and says.. Arey.. that Tanu is partying there at home.. and we are here sitting feeble.. just now I called Robin.. he said that Tanu is enjoying there.. she didn't even cared that Abhi is not at home.. nor us.. such a demented creature she is..!..

Relax dadi.. let her do whatever she wants.. we don't have to mind about her.. Sandy sounded casually..

Have you gone mad.. what do mean by not to mind about her and her doings..?.. you heard right.. what she said.. she wanted Pragya to get married.. that too with the man of her choice..How can we sit quietly seeing all this..?!..Dadi frowns at him..

So what.. let her do it.. we will stay quiet and watch everything.. He again irrated Dadi with his words.. and Nisha looked puzzled..!..

"" "" "" ""

Abhi's POV..

She is looking so tender.. just like a soft feather.. sitting beside her.. I couldn't feel her presence.. her lively presence.. but every single beat of her heart is so heavy.. oh yes.. it should be.. after all she is hurted.. and the pain is so heavy than her..

All I want for now is.. to pull my own soul out, if it meant I could stop your pain.. I'm afraid.. fritting inside me.. what if I lose you once again.. No.. I can't afford to..

Though, you are back to me.. beside me.. the hole of my past.. which happened because of your absence.. remains..!..

Sometimes when I look at you, I feel like, I'm gazing at a distant star.. I don't know what they are called, the spaces between seconds.. but I think of you always in those intervals...

My heart only ever had one thought, one want.. one need... that is.. despite all, in spite of all... All my heart has ever wanted is you.. I'm finding a way to tell you that.. how much I love you..!..

My love for you is past the mind, beyond my heart, and into my soul.. Words fall short whenever I want to tell you how special you are to me but all I can say is, that my world is full of smiles and satisfactions whenever you are around me..

After this much of hindrance.. I have got this opportunity to make you know, what I feel for you.. to take care of you.. to make you my responsibility.. to make your presence as the never ending journey of my life.. I will not let it go away from me that easily.. and I will make it this time asiding everything.. everyone.. whoever it is..!..

He kissed her forehead.. and slided his back by resting his head over the headboard.. he pulled her hand gently.. and locked her fingers between his.. and he rounded his other hand around her head reliably..

!¡!¡!¡

You must be at your home this time.. what if Tanu gets to know that you are with me..?.. Just leave.. She pushed him continuously.. who was nearing her again and again..

What if she gets to know too..!?.
I don't care.. for me you are important.. and our baby is important.. not that one.. who has the name sake virtue on me.. !.. trust me.. I will make everything fine soon.. He adjured getting near her once again..

No.. how will you name this relationship..?.. we aren't meant to be in any relationship.. being in this state.. I have disfigured our friendship too.. do you want me to ruin your life with Tanu..?!.. No, I can't do that..!.. I'm not a random girl who enters with a tag of fling figure with a married man.. though you don't want your wife in your life.. I will be always named as that.. did you get that..?!.. She rendered the affliction of her heart..

Do you think.. I can go away from you..?.. You sounded that so effortlessly.. from when did you become ruthless.. haan..!.. It's true.. Infact I hate to hear when someone calls you a disfigure of my life.. But.. how did you conclude that.. I will let people call you like that..!.. I mean.. do you really mean it Pragya..?!.. He quires looking into her eyes..

Yes Abhishek.. I truly mean that.. you have a life.. your wife is Tanu.. and after few days.. you two will have your own kid.. and.. you.. you have Dadi too with you now.. You have everything.. everything which is yours.. then why are you behind me..?.. She asks enraged..

No Pragya.. not at all.. you are totally wrong.. how can you say that I have everything.. when you are not with me.. don't you know that I'm incomplete without you..?!.. He asks with moistful eyes..

Stop it Abhishek.. have you gone mad..?.. I don't want this to be continued anymore.. you have your own life.. have you ever thought , how your wife will react hearing your words.. mind your words before you word them.. how can you be so mean and  selfish..? Pragya gave him a murderous glare voicing so...

And he held her arms throwing the same glare and says.. Yes I'm.. I'm selfish.. and I mind what I word.. always I do.. especially with you Pragya.. You never knew what all you meant to me.. it was all my fault.. that I kept quiet all the time.. I never had guts to admit my feelings for you.. I'm cursing for being so stupid.. I just thought about you and kept quiet to not lose you for my feelings..

I kept quiet even after knowing what you and Tanu did with me.. I kept quiet whenever she mocked and miffed me and dadi..

I even kept quiet after knowing that she is using you for her betterment.. Because I meant my love.. my love for you..

I thought you will stand by me.. will be my comforting solace.. But you are bothered about Tanu.. I must say.. how flinty you are..!..

A hard slap at his cheek was slammed by her.. as soon as he completed..!..
