?????????

A big beautiful house is shown, with so many people moving around here and there, it has been beautifully decorated for a function, everyone is working hard to make sure nothing goes wrong but one particular person is working more than the rest.

**********

Tanu : Pragya, why are you so slow? The guests will be arriving any minute from now.

Pragya : don’t worry Tanu, I am almost done.

Tanu : make sure everything goes fine, I don’t want any problems on my third baby’s naming ceremony.

Pragya : don’t worry, everything will be perfect.

Tanu : well hurry, it’s not like you have anything more important to do, unlike me I am a mother of three and they need my attention as well my husband, but looking at you who needs your attention, oh I forgot, your husband but still no kids who need your attention, so please hurry up and I beg you don’t mess this up.

Pragya stood there holding on to the spoon in her hand like her life depended on it, it was not her fault she was in this condition if she had not done what she had ten years ago, she chose to sacrifice herself to save a life.

Disha : Pragya!

Pragya : Disha, what do you want here? Do you need anything?

Disha : No, I came to check if you needed some help.

Pragya : Disha, Purab will flip when he comes to know what you want to do.

Disha : Pragya I am pregnant not sick, I can do anything.

Pragya : Disha you are in your eighth month, you need to rest, I don’t want anything happening to you.

Disha : Pragya nothing will go wrong, it’s not like this is the first time I am pregnant.

Immediately Disha said that, Pragya’s face fell, she knew that Disha didn’t mean to hurt her in any way but somehow it still hurt. Disha immediately regretted what she had said after she saw Pragya’s face, she knew that even if Pragya was appearing to be strong on the outside she was broken on the inside.

Disha : Pragya, I am so sorry, oh my god, that’s why Purab always tells me to think before saying something, Pragya please I am sorry.

Pragya : it’s Okay, I know it was a harmful mistake and there is no lie in what you are saying, this is not the first time you are getting pregnant, it’s true, no need to apologise.

Disha : I still feel guilty.

Pragya : why not lighten up your mood, so what do you want to eat, I will make you anything you want.

Disha : I would really love a fruit salad please.

Pragya : OK then, now go and sit down and relax.

Pragya quickly made Disha’s fruit salad, some tea for her mother in law and coffee for her husband.

Pragya : here is your salad. Mother I made you some tea.

Priya : thank you dear, but I think you need to rest now, you have been working since the time you woke up, have you even had breakfast?

Pragya : there is plenty of food I can always eat some other time.

Priya : if your husband comes to know about this.

Pragya : don’t worry I can handle him.

Priya : Okay but promise me you will eat something.

Pragya : I promise mother.

Priya : good now go and check on your husband before he loses his mind.

Pragya went to her room, only to find everything scattered in her room, the clothes were everywhere, the bed which she had made was undone, nothing was in it’s right place, the who place was upside down, standing in the middle of the room was her husband looking around for something with confusion written on his face.

Pragya : why is everything a mess?

Abhi : Pragya, thank God you are here, I have been looking for my wallet but I can’t find it, I think it has been stolen, there was a lot of money in there, Pragya I need to find it.

Pragya : which wallet, the black one or the brown one?

Abhi : the black one, I can’t find it, I swear it was here I know someone might have stolen it, Pragya I have….

Pragya stopped him from continuing his rambling by showing him his wallet.

Abhi : you found it, where was it? I swear I looked everywhere.

Pragya : really? Then why didn’t you find it, because it was right on the table in front of you.

Abhi : you know that I can’t function without you, you are the most important person in my life.

Pragya : you always say that but you never show me.

*said teasingly*

Abhi : let me show you now how important you are and how much I love you.

Pragya : Abhi, let go.

Abhi : why would I let go of my beautiful wife?

Pragya : Abhi they are people downstairs, now stop being naughty.

Abhi : I don’t care, this is my house and I can do whatever I want wherever I want.

They were interrupted by Tanu barging in.

Abhi : don’t you know how to knock?

Tanu : sorry, Pragya what are you doing here? They are important things to be done and you are here wasting time. The guests have started arriving and no one is there to serve them drinks, you are so selfish, you are here enjoying yourself while me not only am I supposed to take care of my husband’s needs but my kids as well, any way, you will never understand cause no matter how hard you try you will never be able to have your own kids.

Abhi : Tanu that’s enough now you can leave.

Tanu : there is no need to be upset Abhi, you know I am saying the truth, even if you stay locked up in this room for the whole year, she will never conceive and give you an heir, so Abhi this is free advice leave this incomplete woman and find someone who will give you a child.

Abhi : are you done?

Tanu : I was just giving you some advice, no need to be rude.

Abhi : get out.

Tanu : are you throwing me out?

Abhi : not only do I have the power to throw you out of this room but this house as well so get out of here before I throw you out of my house.

Tanu : I am the daughter in law of this family, you can’t do that.

Abhi : try me.

Tanu : fine I am leaving, but since your wife is useless in the baby making department maybe she should do something she is good out.

Abhi : Tanu leave before I lose my temper.

Tanu : I am jeez.. I wish Nikhill could stand up for me like that *she mumbles *

Abhi : Pragya please don’t take what she said to heart.

Pragya : no I haven’t, yes it hurt, but it’s the truth.

Abhi : gosh, this is all my fault.

Pragya : Abhi, how many times have I told you not to blame yourself, if I was not destined to be a mother, I would never become one.

Abhi : you don’t get it, if I had not allowed you to go out with Aliyah that day you we would have a child today.

Flashback…..10 years ago….

Everyone was excited because the only daughter of the Mehra household was getting married in two weeks, preparing for a wedding is not the easiest thing so they decided to have everything they needed to be on the safe side, the bride who was so happy to be marrying the man that she has been in love with since highschool treated all the close female relatives and her close friends by taking them shopping, obviously she had to invite her two sisters in law. Tanu was super excited because her and Aliyah had been friends since forever, while Pragya on the other hand was a bit hesitant, because she was different from Aliyah, but with the insistence of her husband she agreed to go with them.

They went to different boutiques at the mall, everything seemed Okay until they heard something like gun shots outside the boutique, people screaming and crying, running here and there, the gun shots had caused a pandemonium, the women who were oblivious that the gun men were coming to where they were begun to run to the door, when Pragya saw a dangerous looking man dressed in black holding a gun ready to fire at anyone who was in his way, she quickly pulled Aliyah who was in front of her and took all the six shots that were meant for Aliyah, sirens where heard outside when the gun man heard them as well and he decided to end his life.

Pragya was rushed to the hospital, without any delay the doctors took her to the operating room, Aliyah was never fond of Pragya as her sister in law, but she knew that if it was not for her, she would be dead, and she knew that her brothers life revolved around Pragya, so with a heavy heart she dialed Abhi’s number and told him to come to the hospital, once Abhi reached the hospital Aliyah narrated to him what had happened, when Abhi heard this he felt his soul leave his body, he did not talk, cry or even yell, he became emotionless, so lifeless he lost the will to leave, he was so afraid of living a life without his Love.

After seven agonising hours the doctor came out of the operating room, everything went well the operation was successful but that didn’t mean that it didn’t leave Pragya with any complications.

Doctor : Mr Mehra the operation was a success, but…

Abhi : but what doctor?

Doctor : did you know that your wife was pregnant?

Abhi : Pragya’s was pregnant?

Doctor : yes it looked like a six weeks old foetus.

Abhi : what?

Doctor : we were able to save your wife but not the baby, and because of some complications the only way we could save her was by removing her womb. I am sorry but your wife will never be able to conceive.

Abhi was shattered not because he and Pragya had zero chance of being parents, but because he could not see the pain Pragya will go through when she hears this, how is he supposed to tell her that she lost a baby that she never knew she had and that she no longer had a womb, his mother, brothers and sister tried to console him but he was inconsolable, he blamed himself for everything that happened.

Two weeks later Pragya gained consciousness, Abhi knew that he had to be strong for Pragya after the news he had received from the doctor, and he promised himself to make her smile like she always does, with a heavy heart he told everything to his wife, Pragya was pained that she would never ever see her child and most importantly she will never be able to give Abhi a baby, even though Abhi said he didn’t mind, she knew how much he loved children and how children are important in a marriage, because of this she suffered from depression for four months but after visiting so many psychologists she knew that she needed to be strong and get over her lose.

End of Flashback..

Abhi : if I had not forced you to go that day, we would be parents right now.

Pragya : and if I hadn’t gone, Aliyah would be dead, picture the bright side, your sister is here with us because of that incidence, Abhi yes I was shot but something good came out.

Abhi : guess you are right, but I don’t want you here.

Pragya : why?

Abhi : I just can’t stand it if people insult you.

Pragya : Abhi I have to make sure everything goes fine here.

Abhi : let everything be ruined, Tanu doesn’t even appreciate all the hard work you are putting in for everything to go well.

Pragya : if things don’t go well then your image will be ruined, no one will say that Tanu’s baby naming ceremony was a disaster but the function at Abhishek Prem Mehra’s house was a disaster, bringing your name down the drain.

Abhi : guess you are right, but promise me you will call me if anyone taunts you or insults you. I am going to the office now, stay safe I love you.

Giving her a small peck on the lips he headed to the office, mean while Pragya got ready, prepared herself and went downstairs to welcome the guests, everyone brought gifts for both Tanu and her baby, people gave their gifts to Tanu, blessing her and her child, once Pragya’s turn had reached to give Tanu and her baby a gift, she was stopped by Tanu’s mother.

Rekha : what do you think you are doing? Tanu did I not tell you that this woman is not invited here?

Disha : but why aunt? she has every right to be here for starters this house belongs to her, and she organised everything so perfectly singled handedly your daughter didn’t even do a thing.

Rekha : unlike her my daughter has to fulfil the duties of a wife, daughter in law, daughter and a mother, so she just had to organise everything, and she can’t be here because I don’t want her to curse my daughter and beautiful granddaughter.

Priya : that’s enough Rekha, Pragya has every right to be here and you are a guest in my house so I suggest you behave like one.

Aliyah : but mother aunt is right, how can a woman who has never experienced the pain of giving birth be here?

Priya : Aliyah you of all people are not supposed to say that, you know that if she had not jumped in front of you that day she would be holding he child right now.

Aliyah : oh come on mother, so many people have had bad experiences even worse than her, but they are still able to conceive.

Priya : Aliyah you ungrateful little br….

Pragya : mother it’s Okay, I will leave.

Priya : but Pragya..

Pragya : this is Tanu’s function and if she doesn’t want me here then I will leave.

Pragya went to her room locked herself in and cried herself to sleep.

Four Months Later….

Pragya was at the market buying some groceries when she heard a loud scream from behind, out of curiosity she immediately left her goods and went to see what happened, when she arrived at the scene she saw a pregnant woman lying in a pool of blood, it looked like she had been stabbed and no one was doing anything to help, they just stood there watching the poor woman dying, without a second thought Pragya with the help of other people carried the woman to her car and asked the driver to drrive them to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital..

Pregnant women : please ma’am, please take care of my baby when it’s born, if I don’t make it, I don’t have any family left please don’t let my child suffer.

Pragya : calm down, breath nothing will happen to you.

Pregnant woman : but please promise to take care of her like your own if anything goes wrong.

Pragya couldn’t say no to her request so she just agreed, they got to the hospital in time the doctors were able to save the baby but not its mother, remembering the promise she made, Pragya took the baby with her to her home.

Mehra Mansion…

Abhi : where have you been, I have been trying to call you but your phone is off, and whose baby is that?

Pragya : I was at the hospital.

Priya : why? Is something wrong?

Tanu : don’t you get it mother, in her desperation to become a mother she decided to steal a baby.

Abhi : Nikhill please tell your wife to shut up or I will make her.

Nikhill asked Tanu to keep quite, while Pragya narrated what had happened from the time she was at the market to the time she was at the hospital.

Pragya : so can I keep her?

Abhi knew that Pragya had always wanted a child and by looking at the way her eyes lit up when she asked if she could keep her, he knew that this baby would make Pragya feel complete even if she didn’t give birth to her, so he agreed.

Tanu : even though you adopt her, doesn’t make you her mother.

Disha : your opinion does not count Tanu the fact is that she will still call Pragya mommy. Awww she’s so cute, So Pragya, what will you name her.?

Pragya : Roshni.

Abhi : why Roshni?

Pragya : because she is the light in my dark world.

Abhi : then Roshni it is.

Nikhill : Abhi you just can’t accept the baby, you don’t even know where it came from.

Abhi : I will accept whatever makes my wife happy.

Priya : looks like God has answered my prayer and brought me another grandchild, now I feel complete as a grandma.

Purab : welcome to the Mehra family baby Roshni, I am your favourite uncle Purab.

For years later…

Roshni has grown up to be a smart bubbly girl, with just one comment she can bring a smile to everyone’s faces except Tanu, she has become Abhi’s favourite person and he never misses an opportunity to spoil her, on the other hand Pragya looked more happier and relaxed although currently she has been constantly throwing up and feeling dizzy.

Abhi : Pragya maybe we should call a doctor, you don’t look good.

Pragya : no I am sure it’s nothing serious.

Abhi : but Pragya…

Pragya : let me go check if Roshni needs anything.

As she was trying to get up, she suddenly felt dizzy and fainted in Abhi’s hand, Abhi panicked so much he called the whole household asking them to call for a doctor, once the doctor reached the house he examined Pragya and told her and Abhi that she was three months pregnant, both Abhi and Pragya did not believe this so they asked the doctor to do some blood tests, the next day the test results were out and it was confirmed that Pragya was indeed pregnant, six months later Pragya gave birth to three beautiful babies, one girl and two boys, even with their own children they never neglected Roshni, they believe she was the reason why they were blessed with three new lovely children, that God did not want her to grow up alone without any siblings so he blessed her with three siblings instead.
