Abhi was still giving excuses and never tell Pragya what made Ranveer change. Pragya too tried to find out by sneaking into Ranveer’s room but it was futile.
Days passed and Ranveer was caring towards his parents which made Pragya even more surprised.
On a particular day,
Pragya went to meet Rakesh and Cutie together at playground
Cutie yelled “ Oye Hoye!” Pragya “ Oye Hoye Cutie…” She said with excitement.
Rakesh looked at Pragya sadly.
Pragya “ Why are u sad Rakesh?”
She asked by making him sit on her lap.
Cutie sitting beside Pragya felt bad as di never made her sit on lap.
Rakesh “ Everything is bad…” Pragya “ Why are u saying like that sweet boy?” She asked pleasantly.
Rakesh “Sweet boy?” He asked with surprise.
Pragya “ Yes u are the sweet boy na who always call me pretty Pragya!”
Rakesh “ So sweet of u! You know I don’t have the bag like my friends!! I feel everything is bad!”
Pragya “ What kind of bag is that?” Rakesh looked at Cutie who was looking curiously at him.
Rakesh signalled Pragya to bent down a bit and she did like he said.
Rakesh whispered something in Pragya’s ears and she chuckled hearing that.
Rakesh “ Pretty Pragya! Please…” Pragya “ Okok! I will buy for u that bag!” Rakesh in excitement “ Really??” Pragya nodded her head and Cutie looking at all this felt bad.
Cutie “ Di…what bag is that? I ALSO WANT IT!!!” She kept on saying that and Pragya “ No Cutie!!! U have already lots of bags!!!”
Cutie “ No!! I WANT IT!!!” She kept on pestering Pragya which made Pragya annoyed.
Pragya sternly “ Cutie!!! Stop it!!!!” Cutie was taken aback by Pragya’s loud voice and she looked down in sadness.
Pragya realized she was scared by her loud voice and touched her head.
Cutie “ Don’t touch di!!! Nobody loves me now!!!” She said that and stood up.
Pragya “ I am sorry…” Cutie “ No di…u forgot me….even friend talk to Rakesh in phone…he also forgot me!!” She said that and ran away from there before Pragya could stop her.
Rakesh “Oh no!! Cutie is so sad!!” Pragya “ Yes…I should have talked to her more…” Rakesh “ You don’t worry Pretty Pragya…I will talk to her…buy 2 bags, one for me and one for Cutie!” Pragya patting his cheek “ You are like me….” Rakesh “I will go and talk to her now…” He said that and went to convince his friend, as for Pragya she followed him but just then she received a call from City Hospital.
Pragya attended the call and was clueless of why he wants to talk to her.
Pragya “ Naina…I have to go now…can u come down to check on Cutie and Rakesh…Cutie is a bit upset with me…” Naina “ Oh sure….This Cutie na nowadays expect too much! U don’t worry…I will come down now to see them…” She said and Pragya headed towards the hospital.
At hospital,
Nurse “ He is conscious now but he is keep on saying that he needs to talk to Pragya…we know its u as u are the one admitted him. That’s why we called u…” Pragya “ Ok thanks…”
Pragya entered the ward and saw him lying on the bed.
The man “ Pragya…” He said in a weak tone.
Pragya stood near him and was not sure what he was going to talk about.
The man “ I am scared I am running out of time….” Pragya “ Sir….u have to rest more and then your health will improve…”
The man “ I am not sir to u…I am your father!” Pragya “ Sorry sir…Abhi have told that Ma and u never had a good relation…”
The man “ Abhi!! I just feel he is crossing the path of so many lives!” He said with anger.
Pragya “ So what sir? He still helps to cross others in lives too…” The man “ Pragya…I have to tell u that Abhi is behind everything that u had faced!” Pragya “ What do u mean?” The man “ Listen Pragya…if u think of how your marriage happened in a hurry…how u got trapped in the brothel….” Pragya “ How did u know all this?” She asked in shock.
The man “ I am your father…yes I may not have been a good husband to your mother but I always tried to do my duty as your father!”
Pragya “ I don’t know what u are trying to say…” The man “ He is cheating u…he is giving false hopes to u! He is….” He coughed as he said that and Pragya gave him water from the jug there in a cup.
Pragya “ That means u are saying that Abhi is using me?” She asked as she saw him drinking the water.
The man “ Yes Pragya…believe me….you are my daughter and how would I lie to u!” Pragya looks on and the man show some photographs saying that they were taken by Abhi which made Pragya’s life miserable.
Pragya gave a stern look and just then she received a call.
Ma “ Pragya where u?” She asked in a panicking tone. Pragya “ Ma! Why do u sound so worried?” Ma “ I didn’t expect Ranveer will do like this…” Pragya “ What do u mean Ma? Is it anything serious?”
Ma “ You come to house as fast as possible!”
Pragya “Ok Ma…I will be there soon!” She said that and ended the call. Man “ Keep this photographs with u…I am not sure whether u believe me or not….but if any situation he goes against you then all these would be of some help…” Pragya hurriedly kept the photographs in her handbag and rushed to the house.
Upon reaching the house, she saw everyone there. Shalu standing beside Purab. Beside Ma was Abhi. All looked with an unexplainable expression. Even Ranveer looked in a serious expression.
Ranveer “ Finally u are here….There is two things that I need to tell u….”
Pragya “ Okay” She said in a low tone. Ranveer “ Not here…..come with me…”
Ranveer walked towards her and held her hands to bring her to the room.
Pragya wondered why is he doing this way. But his grip was not harsh as always, it was a soft grip and as he held her hand. Abhi still looked away making sure he doesn’t meet Pragya’s eyes.
Pragya, Why Abhi is not looking at me? Why is he like avoiding me?
Ranveer closed the door and locked it, everyone hoped that Pragya could handle the news that Ranveer would be telling to her.
A while later, Ranveer came out of the room smiling hand in hand with Pragya again. Pragya looked lifeless but Ranveer asked her to smile. She did smile lightly but her eyes was on Abhi who was still not looking at her.
Ranveer “ As u all now, I have cancelled Abhi and Shalu’s marriage as there is no love from both sides, so now let’s get prepared for my marriage with Pragya!”
He said that by looking at Pragya caringly.
Ranveer “I have explained to her and I know her silence is agreeing to it! Thank u Abhi for making me understand the worth of Pragya! I really love her now! Even though u two had love each other but Pragya always cared for me even when I was not well! Why? Because she herself doesn’t know that she loves me!” He placed his hand around her waist making her closer to him.
Ranveer “ Yes I know it’s a bit cliche of getting married again but now this is a marriage out of love! Not like before when there was revenge and pains…”
Pragya looked at Abhi but he was looking at Ranveer.
Ranveer “ Pragya….Will you marry me again?”
Pragya, Abhi is this what u have changed him to? I thought u will make him love someone else….u made him love me? Then what was our love for? Why did u always give me the promises that you’ll be with me forever….why did u even give me hopes of being close to your heart? Why did u do this Abhi?
Abhi “ I am sorry….” Pragya looked at him as he said that. It felt like as if he said that to her.
Abhi “ I am sorry Ranveer…I have to go now…” Ranveer “ Wait Abhi…I want my answer from Pragya…Listen to her first…” Pragya “ I agree….” Ranveer “ You agree?” He asked in excitement and she nodded her head. Ranveer immediately carried her in joy.
Shalu whispered to Purab “ Bhai…I have never seen this side of Ranveer’s Bhai…he never looked so happy na…” Purab “ But look at those two….We know Abhi and Pragya loved each other so much….then why does Abhi have to do like this?”
Abhi smiled and excused himself from there with heavy heart.
Pragya felt her heart broken into pieces. If this is what he wanted to do, he could have told this before…why does he even have to plant the seed of love in my heart and now letting it to be destroyed.
Ranveer let her down and said “Don’t worry..I will get back our child too…all of us will live as a family and I promise that this would be the new beginning of our lives….”
Pragya simply nodded her head not being able to understand why her new beginning is not with Abhi…..
Ranveer once again hugged her out of happiness and she was in void of emotions.
Ranveer “Ma show her whatever I bought for the wedding….all the ornaments I gave you….” He said pleasantly and asked Pragya to go with Ma.
Ma bring Pragya away from there and Ranveer looking at Shalu smiling.
Shalu “ Bhai….so u are really going to marry Bhabhi again?” Ranveer “ Yes my Choti….why u can’t believe me?” Shalu hesitated “ No Bhai…” Ranveer “ Purab and Shalu…u two have to make this wedding as smooth as possible….I know as your elder brother I may not have done my responsibilities….” He said very guiltily.
Purab “ Bhai if this is destined to happen then it will happen smoothly….” He said that and patted his shoulder before walking away.
Ranveer with confusion “ What is he saying yaar? Why can’t he be direct?” Shalu “ U know na Purab is always indirect…” Ranveer “ I guess I have to know u all more first…”
If this was happening, then Ma looking at Pragya who was blankly looking at her was worried.
Ma “ Pragya…”
Pragya looked up at her “ Ma….I…can’t…” She said helplessly.
Ma “ Pragya…I am also shocked like u…Ranveer even apologised to me by falling on my feet! Can u believe that? My son is asking forgiveness for whatever he had done! It’s like a dream to me…”
Pragya “ Ranveer did that?”
Ma “ Yes…and he said whatever changes u see in me is because of my best friend Abhi! Abhi changed him completely!!!”
Pragya’s heart sank in the sea of sadness as she heard that. It was acceptable that Ranveer changed for better but it is not acceptable that he is made to change for her…..
Ma “ Abhi sacrificed his love for u…It’s something unexpected….the amount of faith he had to change Ranveer is also unexpected….but now he did whatever the way he had expected….”
Pragya in tears “ I don’t love Ranveer Ma…how can I accept all this again?”
Ma “ Pragya…try to understand…destiny created distances between Ranveer and u…but now the distances have decreased!”
Pragya “ Ma please try to understand…I only love Abhi….I dreamt a lifelong journey with him….” She said that yearningly.
Ma “ Pragya! You better try to understand that your lifelong journey is only with Ranveer now! He have changed and your life will change if u accept him! U have agreed to the marriage and that’s it! I don’t want him to get disappointed and start another revenge saga again!” She said that sternly and took Pragya’s phone from her handbag including the phone that Abhi had given her.
Ma “ From now onwards u are not having any conversation with Abhi!” She said that and left the room leaving Pragya in uncontrollable tears.
