Next day morning pragya was about to go out, at that time her dad stopped her..

P.dad: where are you going

Pr: to church... today is Sunday right..

P.dad: you can pray in home itself

Pr: don't torture me like this dad..I am feeling suffocated to stay here..

P.dad: everything is for your well being..now this will feel wrong for you but one day you will understand this dad..

Saying he goes out..

Pragya sits in the couch and cries..

P.mom: your dad has back to back meetings today so he will come home only at night...you go and come fast

Pragya nods and immediately runs out..

Sa: why is she so happy..I think she is going to meet that abhi.. I will go with her...

P.mom: give her some space Sam..if she want then let her meet him

Sa: what are you saying mom

P.mom: your dad arranged her wedding they after tomorrow..

Sam is shocked hearing that...

Sa: what..

P.mom: only one day is there...they both can't do anything...

Here pragya comes out of the church after the prayer..

She sees abhi standing near a tree with his friends..

She looks around and finds the road empty...she ran towards him and hugged him tightly and sobbed...

Abhi's eyes too filled with tears...

Abhi's friend purab said," go that side and speak...we will inform you if someone comes.."

Abhi holds pragya's hand and went behind a building..

Abhi wipes her tears and says," don't cry pragya"

Pr: Is this our fault?

Ab: what

Pr: that we both belong to different religion..

Abhi nods negatively and wipes her tears..but she couldn't control her tears..

Ab: did your parents hit you

Pragya nods and says," mom"

Abhi sighs..

Pr: your mom?

Abhi nods negatively

Pr: dad?

Ab: no

Pragya is surprised hearing that..

Pr: gender inequality

Abhi smiles lightly with tears and says

Ab: idiot

Abhi wipes her tears and asks," now what should we do "

Pr: I thought you might have decided something..

Ab: my dad is planning to do my marriage..

Pragya glares at him..

Ab: I tried to convince them but they are blackmailing me..

Pr: are you going to marry someone else

Asking she burst into tears..

Ab: pragya...I will die before doing that..

Pr: how many times I said you not to talk about death..

Ab:I don't know what to do

Pragya had never seen him so stressed...from the day she met him, she has only seen him smiling...this tensed face is very new to her..

Pr: whatever decision we take now , we should not regret it later..

Ab: and we should not regret for the decision we didn't take

Pragya looks at him with tears..She hugged him and weeped helplessly..

He murmured," I will accept any decision of yours pragya"

Pragya looked at him confused..

Ab: they just need time pragya...if not today then they will slowly accept us..we will wait till they accept..

Pr: really?

Ab: don't you trust me?

Pragya looks down in guilt..

Abhi holds her chin and made her to face him..

Ab: I will wait for you till my de..

Pragya closed his mouth with her palm..

Ab: go home.... let's not meet for some days... That will lessen their anger..

Pragya nods..

Abhi kisses her palm and says," don't fear for anyone.."

Pragya nods and leaves from there...

At night,

P.dad: pragya after dinner you can do facial and other things ... beautician is waiting in hall..

Pr: why dad

P.dad: I want you to look good in your wedding tomorrow ...

Pragya's is stunned hearing that...

Even Sam and pragya's mom is shocked..

P.mom: tomorrow?

Pragya's dad casually says," yes" and continues to eat his dinner..

P.dad: Paul said me that today he saw pragya and that boy together near church..both mom and daughter are playing with my reputation..

P.mom looked down..

Pragya sobs loudly but that didn't melt her father's heart..

Pragya's dad tells pragya's mom

P.dad : tell her clearly she can cry how much ever she want but tomorrow in marriage she should only smile Infront of everyone or else...

P.mom: she will not cry

Pragya's dad nods and gets up..

Pragya immediately falls in his feet and cries..

Pr: please papa... don't do this to me...I love him papa..

Pragya's dad kneels near her and says," he loves you only for our money pragya"

Pragya looked at her father with disbelief ...

P.dad: when there is many Hindu girls in this world, why should he love you...it is obvious that he is a clever fellow.....he loves you because you are rich...

Pr: love doesn't work like that dad

P.dad: you are very small to understand all these..

Saying he holds her hand and made her to sit on the couch..

P.dad tells the beautician ," she should look like an angel tomorrow"

Pragya sat there like a statue but her eyes are shedding tears continuously..

Beautician looked at pragya's dad..

Bea: sir she is crying

He glared at her murderously and says," do your work"

She nods and continues to straighten her hair..

Destiny can be such a cruel thing when it drives apart two people who have no other desire than to be together..

Their true love is buried alive by the different faiths of two families...
