Pragya was calmed down in his embrace.
Abhi ” You should talk to Cutie…she misses u a lot….” He said that still hugging her.
Pragya slightly looked up at him with moist eyes.
Abhi “What mistake she did? Why are u always leaving her without informing her?”
Pragya ” I didn’t mean to….is she at home today?” She asked worriedly.
Abhi ” Should be as it’s Saturday but Naina is around. She won’t allow u to meet or talk to her.”
Pragya looked sad and felt bad for Cutie.Pragya thought she should have at least attended her calls.
Abhi ” Wait let me call her. I don’t think Naina will leave from here until we go out of this room. And Cutie should be at house now.”
He took his phone from pocket with his other hand while still embracing Pragya.
He called Cutie using the phone.
Abhi ” Hello Cutie! Ma is not there right?”
Cutie ” No friend! But she called me just now!”
Abhi ” Do u want to talk to di?”
Cutie ” Di!! I want to talk to her!!!” She exclaimed and Abhi smiled at her excitement.
He passed the phone to Pragya.
Pragya holding the phone to her ear remained silent.
Cutie “Di! How are u? I miss u di…”
Pragya ” I…also miss u…” She said that by trying not to cry.
Cutie ” Why Ma is angry on u di? Did u tease her a lot?” She asked naively.
Pragya hearing that lightly smiled.
Pragya ” Haan Cutie…I teased her and she is very very very angry with me! Like mushy pushy….” She said that in a cute tone.
Cutie ” Oh no! Mushy pushy! Why di u do like that?” She worried saying that.
Pragya ” I know na…but your friend will help me. He said he will solve mushy pushy.” She said that by looking intently at Abhi.
Abhi, What is with this mushy pushy? Again another code word between this two?
Cutie ” Rakesh also misses u…he said we can talk to u today at 4 pm.”
Pragya ” He too misses me? So sweet of him. Why at 4 pm Cutie?”
Cutie ” You never pick up my calls. So Rakesh said we can call from his house phone at 4 pm. He is only free at that time.”
Pragya beamed in happiness at Cutie’s attempt to call her.
Pragya ” You call me at 4 again! I will pick up the call for sure!”
Cutie ” Oye Hoye!” Pragya ” Haye Haye!”
Cutie jumped hearing that and Pragya ” You be careful Cutie and wait until friend and Ma comes back home.”
Cutie nodded her head and ” Bye di! I need to go toilet!” She said that ended the call and Pragya was keep on smiling.
She felt her heart is lighter after talking to Cutie.
Abhi ” This is what i wanted!”
Pragya ” What?”
Abhi ” Your smile that is like miles to me…”
Pragya ” Thank you…”
Abhi ” Why?
Pragya ” For supporting me…for sensing me”
Abhi ” Do u think I can sense u?” He said that by raising his eyebrows.
Pragya ” I feel so…that’s why u made me speak to Cutie…and that’s why u are still hugging me…” She blushed saying that.
Abhi ” Well then you are right!” He said that with a proud look. Pragya smiled in return.
Abhi ” But in between u said to Cutie he misses me too? So sweet of him. Who’s that?”
Pragya hearing that wanted to make him jealous and smiled inwardly.
She slowly removed his hand from her shoulder and stood up.
Abhi ” Why are u moving away?” He asked sadly.
Pragya “He misses me na…” She told that in a pleasant voice looking at the roses on the vase he kept on the table.
She walked towards there and took a rose from it.
Abhi ” Who is the he?” He asked with confusion.
Pragya ” Who else? Sweet boy Rakesh…”
She said that by admiring the rose in her hand.
Abhi ” What the hell? He misses u! How many times I ask him to stay away from u?” He said that fiercely by looking at Pragya’s back.
She was keep on smiling widely for his cute jealously on a small boy.
Pragya ” Don’t speak harshly about him…he is such a sweet boy that i have come across….if he had been older enough then I would have lo…” Before she could complete her sentence Abhi pulled her making her drop the rose she was holding and smashed his lips on hers.
Pragya breaking away from the sudden kiss looked at him shocked.
Abhi ” I am warning u for saying like this! You are mine and only mine! It’s alright even if u never confess your love to me but I can’t stand u saying u are somebody’s wife or u would love someone!!!” He said that with full of anger and looked at her eyes with the authority over her.
Pragya looked in shock of his action.
But then she understood he is in love with her more than the level that she had expected. That’s why it makes him to behave like this.
She tipped on her toes and kissed him on his left cheek. Abhi was taken aback by her sudden kiss.
Pragya with shyness ” This is for my love…” Before he could utter a word, she kissed his right cheek and said ” This for your love…” Abhi ” Pragya..” He said lovingly making Pragya to smile….
Pragya kissed his lips quickly and said ” This is for our love….” She turned back not facing Abhi and he was standing there like a statue.
She was blushing badly of her action and wondered why there was no reaction from him.
She turned back to look and saw him standing like a statue. Pragya couldn’t control herself and hugged him and he came back to senses.
Abhi stammered ” What…was…that?”
Pragya ” You didn’t like it?” She asked that in a low tone.
Abhi making her face him ” I love it! But why so sudden?” Pragya “It’s your unexpected moment from me…unexpected moments will be in this way only….” She said that by looking at him lovingly.
Abhi running his hand through his hair ” Oh…but u kissed me on my lips and it was so quick!!! Not even a second!!” Pragya ” This is enough for now…” She said that teasingly.
Abhi ” Once more please….” He asked her like a child.
Pragya “No! No way!” She said that by shaking her head.
Abhi was about to pull her closer when they heard heavy knocking sounds.
Pragya ” We have been here for quite long now…” Abhi with disappointment ” Ya I wish we always remain here with privacy….” He said with a pout and headed towards the door to open when Pragya came rushingly behind him.
Pragya ” Wait!” Abhi with a naughty smile” Why? U changed your mind ah? U wanna kiss me!” Pragya ” No way! Your two cheeks…wait….” She wiped his kiss marks on cheeks with her duppata.
He was keep on smiling and asked ” Done?” Pragya blushingly nodded her head.
Abhi with a wide smile opened the door and saw Naina standing there with her arms folded in anger.
Naina ” We were talking to u seriously and u brought her abruptly inside the room! And what were u doing for so long? Almost 1 hour plus!”
Abhi shrugging his shoulder said ” It’s just an hour plus…not a day for us to sleep together!” Naina screeched ” What the hell are u talking Bhai?” Pragya hearing that felt awakward of him to tell in this way.
Abhi ” I am telling to all of u!” He said that by looking at Naina, Purab and Shalu.
Abhi ” Pragya is mine! I will get her from him legally as she wish. Until then we won’t cross our limits, may be u all could be thinking that we will cross limits. But that’s wrong! We don’t desire each other for what u all think. Our desire is to love each other for a lifetime that we have now. For that we can love even without seeing each other….that is the way we love…” Naina ” That means u are saying that Ranveer will divorce Pragya.”
Abhi ” Yes he will!”
The trio looked at him with disbelief.
Abhi ” How and when it will happen is not an issue.” Shalu ” Not an issue? Then until that we should get engaged and married or what?” She asked in a frustrated tone.
Abhi ” Listen…I can change his mindset…I know he is a difficult person but just believe me and give me a chance….” He said that pleadingly to them.
Purab ” How will u change his mindset? Then how would u make his thoughts away from Naina who he thinks that is Bulbul now?”
Naina hearing that looked shocked and looked at Abhi.
Abhi ” Naina…i should have told earlier about this…i am sorry…” Naina ” You are also like her na Bhai…I hate u….” Abhi ” Listen Naina…if we are all together then everything can be solved…” Naina ” How? By Getting me to be with him?” She said that sarcastically.
Abhi was about to raise her hand when Pragya stopped him.
Abhi ” Why is she talking like this Pragya?” He said that stressfully.
Pragya ” Will u all mind if I say something?” She asked hesitantly.
Abhi ” U just tell! I will see who minds here!” He said that fiercely.
Pragya ” Please Abhi…don’t be this much rude to our family… and Naina I know I should have told u he is alive and I met him…but I couldn’t Naina…I was worried that u would feel Arjun Bhai’s life was lost for no reason….but now it’s not about that…”
Naina ” Pragya…I know what u mean but i can’t stand seeing him happily around.”
Abhi ” Naina…that’s what I am saying we should teach him a lesson….for that I need all of your support. And all your support towards Pragya too…”
All looked confused at his words.
Abhi ” I know u all will support me…Just be silent and look at what we will be doinga….” Purab ” We means?”
Abhi ” Pragya, me and …..” Pragya ” And?” Abhi ” You all will know the other person!” He said that by winking at her.
Naina ” Do whatever u want Bhai but don’t ever think of making me to step at the place he is!” She said that angrily and walked out of the house not hearing to Pragya who was trying to stop her.
Abhi ” Let her go…I will talk to her later…”
He noticed Purab looking at Naina going away and was looking very worried.
Abhi was thinking something and Pragya looked disturbed with the events happening around her.
Abhi ” Purab and Shalu! I think u all can leave as I am going to drop Pragya at her home.”
Shalu ” Pragya di! U come with us! We will drop u in our car!”
Pragya looked at Abhi for his response and after a while he said ” Okay Pragya…u go with them…that’s safer…”
Pragya followed them by keep on thinking the events happened so far.
Abhi ” Pragya!” He came near the door step as she was about to leave.
Abhi ” Your phone…I kept it for u…remember Cutie will call u at 4 pm!”
She smiled hearing it and bid bye to him silently and left with Purab and Shalu.
Abhi looked at Pragya until the lift’s door closed and he knew what he have to do to Ranveer’s door of bad intentions to be closed.
Abhi asked Pragya to meet him at Ranveer’s house.
Pragya reached first. She first went to see Ma and got her blessings. She looked perturbed at the sudden preparations for Shalu’s marriage by Ranveer.
Pragya ” Ma…Trust me…trust Abhi he will solve all this…Papa will also get well soon…” Ma ” He got an heart attack and is bed ridden but this Ranveer is making wedding preparations at this time! He is saying a good thing like this would make your Papa happy! What is this Pragya? You know something he got heart attack after arguing with Ranveer! This is the third time and I am very worried of losing him now…” She said that by crying and Pragya tried to console him.
Pragya ” Ma…please be strong for Papa…he won’t like u crying…u know that…”
Ma ” All because of this child I gave birth too! I didn’t expect him to be a sadist like this!”
As Pragya was trying to give words of support to Ma, Ranveer barged into the room and dragged Pragya from there forcefully.
Ranveer ” Why did he came here?” He asked as he brought her to the living room.
Pragya ” Who?”
Ranveer ” Who else? Your love now!”
Pragya smiled inwardly that Abhi is here but wondered why she couldn’t see him.
Ranveer saw her looking around to see Abhi and Ranveer ” He is outside! Don’t say u never know that he is coming here!”
Pragya remained silent and was keep on looking towards the entrance.
Abhi walked in and Ranveer let her off and walked towards him before asking Pragya to stand where she was.
She was standing near a pillar and looked at him with a pleasant smile.
Abhi too smiled and that was caught by Ranveer.
Ranveer ” What brings u here my soon to be brother in law?”
Abhi ” Hmm..I guess your answer lies in the question that u have asked….”
Ranveer ” To meet Shalu?”
Abhi ” Yes and I also want to give u a small advice!”
Ranveer with a smirk ” Advice??”
Abhi ” Yes…” By saying that he showed a picture in his handphone that Pragya was unable to see as it was too far from her vision.
Ranveer ” Who is this?”
Suddenly Abhi’s voice was low as if he is whispering to Ranveer and in return Ranveer said in a loud voice” Great idea!”
Abhi “Well Ranveer, this is not easy man!” Ranveer “ I never expect u to advise me again after all this years!” Abhi smirked hearing that and looked at Pragya who was standing near the pillar looking anxiously what is Abhi telling to Ranveer.
Ranveer smiled insanely and looked at Pragya.
Pragya, what did he tell him? And why is he smiling at me like this? I should ask him later about this.
Abhi patted Ranveer’s shoulder and said something which is not heard by Pragya.
Ranveer gave an proud look and Abhi bid bye to him and walked out of the house without looking at Pragya.
Pragya felt like running behind Abhi and stop him but she knew she couldn’t in the presence of Ranveer.
Ranveer from where he was standing called Pragya’s name loudly and she came beside him still wondering what Abhi could have told Ranveer.
Ranveer “ From today onwards you will stay here!” Pragya “ What?? Why?” Ranveer “ What what? U are my wife! Don’t u remember that?”
Pragya “ But…” Ranveer “ No buts and all…” He said in a stern tone.
Ranveer “ And u have to be managing Shalu’s wedding arrangements too!”
Pragya nodded her head.
Ranveer “ Clean up the rooms beside Purab’s room! We have guests staying with us too!” Pragya “ Guests?” Ranveer “ Just do as I say! I don’t need to tell who they are when u will see them soon!”
He said that and walked up the stairs leaving Pragya shocked.
Pragya, This is what Abhi had told him! How can he do this? I was at least in some peace of staying away but now ended up here with him again!
Precap
Pragya sleeping beside Ma when she felt heavy wind is blowing on her face. Pragya, I think the AC is too high until there is wind blowing on my face. I should change the AC level before Ma feels cold.
She lazily opened her eyes and exclaimed
“Aap? Yahaan??”
Have to tell u all this friends, I feel it’s a bit slow in terms of this story going. Do u all feel that way? Or maybe I am just thinking too much. ?
Glad to see silent readers commenting too.
