After some days…
Rhea and Prachi came back home after going for a date with Siddharth and Ranbir.
When they enter the house they were shocking to see Pragya in Abhi’s arms.Abhi and Pragya were lost in each other’s eyes.
Prachi and Rhea screamed:Maa…Abhi sir….
Abhi and Pragya startled and looked at them.They got shocked to see Rhea and Prachi.
Rhea:What’s happening here?
Abhi and Pragya moved away from each other.
Prachi:When Sanju told us about you both,we did’nt believe him.But…he was right.We were fooled by you both.
Rhea:We trusted both of you blindly.Why did you both fool us?
Abhi-Pragya became upset.
Prachi:Abhi Sir…we thought that you were a gentleman.But you trapped our mother?
Abhi became upset.
Pragya:Prachi!Don’t say like this about him.
Prachi:Why Maa?I said the truth.In middle age you forgot your daughters and started secret romance with a man?You even went to Delhi with him.Right?For second honeymoon?Chee…feeling ashamed to call you ‘Maa’.
Pragya was shattered.Abhi did not know how to tackle the situation.He felt upset and helpless.
Rhea:Enough is enough.We will give you 2 days.After Navratri celebration you should leave our house Abhi Sir.Find another house.
Abhi-Pragya were shocked.
Abhi:I…
Rhea:We have lost our respect for you.So leave.
Pragya:How can you just ask him to leave?
Rhea:Why?You can’t stay without your lover?
Pragya and Abhi were hurt.
Prachi:Remember…within 2 days you find some other house and leave from here.
Prachi and Rhea went to their room angrily.
Pragya looked at Abhi tearfully:Everything got ruined.
Abhi:No Pragya. Any children will behave like this when they see their mother with someone like this.Navratri …it’s a nice day to reveal the truth.They will understand us.Be confident.I am leaving.Otherwise they will be more angry.
Abhi patted her cheek and left.
Rhea was weeping in her room.Siddharth rang up.She attended the call.
Sid:Hi sweetheart…
Rhea:Hi…
Sid:Rhea…what happened to your voice?Are you alright?
Rhea lied:Yes Sid.I am alright.I am sleepy.Bye.
She cut the call.
Sid:Why do I feel that Rhea is upset?
The next day…
Abhi was taking class.Both Prachi and Rhea were not listening in the class.Siddharth and Ranbir noticed it.
Sid:Rhea…are you not alright?Feeling not well?Why are you not concentrating in the class?
Rhea:Nothing like that Sid.I feel bored.
Sid was shocked:Abhi Sir’s class is boring for you?I am shocked.
Rhea:Let us not talk about it Sid.
Sid thought:What is wrong with her?
Prachi and Ranbir met at a park.
Ranbir:Prachi,why did you ask me to come here with the guitar?
Prachi:Because…I feel tired.For relief I want to hear your song.
Ranbir:Pragya aunty allowed you to come here at night?
Prachi:No.I came here without her knowledge.
Ranbir:What yaar?She will be upset if she does’nt see you.So you go back.
Prachi thought:She cares only about her lover now.
Prachi:I will go back after you sing.
Ranbir:Ok.
Ranbir played the guitar and sang.Prachi smiled listening to his song.
Baatein zaroori hain, tera milna bhi zaroori
Maine mita deni ye jo teri-meri doori
Baatein zaroori hain, tera milna bhi zaroori
Maine mita deni ye jo teri meri doori
Jhoothi hain wo raahein saari duniya ki
Ishq jahaan naa chale
Tera hona mera hona
Kya hona agar naa dono mile?
Tu pehla-pehla pyaar hai mera
Tu pehla-pehla pyaar hai mera
Tu pehla-pehla pyaar hai mera
Tu pehla-pehla pyaar hai mera
Wo shehar bade honge boriyat bhare
Rehta nahi jinme tu sang mere, khabar tujhe bhi hai ye
Raunaqein sabhi hoti tеre hone se
Tеre bina tanha koi kya kare
Aise sabhi sheharon pe mujhko taras hai aata bada
Tere liye main na jahaan khada
Meelon ka ho, saalon ka ho, chahe wo
Safar ki parwaah nahi
Tu hai jahaan, maine wahan hona hai
Pahuch hai jaana wahin(Kabir Singh).
Prachi:Thank you Ranbir for singing and making my mood good.
He smiled.
Suddenly Pragya called Prachi.She picked up the call.
Pragya:Prachi..where are you?You are safe.Right?I got scared not seeing you at home.Rhea is not telling me anything.
Prachi:I just went to the park.Ranbir is there with me.I will come home now.
Pragya was relieved.Prachi cut the call.
Ranbir:Is everything alright?Usually without informing Pragya aunty you don’t go anywhere.
Prachi lied:Everything is alright.
Prachi bid good-bye and went back home.
Ranbir thought:Why do If eel that Prachi wanted me to sing to relieve her pain?What is upsetting her?
Pragya was relieved when Prachi reached home.But she felt sad as Prachi ignored her.
The next day…
Prachi to Rhea:Rhea,I think we should tell everything to Ranbir and Sid.They are our lovers.They have the right to know the ugly truth.
Rhea:Ya Prachi.
Ranbir and Sid went near them:Hi guys.
Prachi:We want to tell you something.
Prachi and Rhea told them about Abhi-Pragya affair.
They were stunned.
Sid:So this is what bothering you?This is why you hate Abhi Sir’s class now.
Rhea:Exactly.I can’t respect such a man.
Ranbir:But why do you both blame them?They are not having extra marital affair.They are divorcees who deserve love.
Prachi:Ranbir..you are supporting the old age secret love affair?
Sid:Are you both loving your father who left you years back more than Abhi Sir who loves you both like his own daughters?
Rhea:It’s easy for you to say.Only if you both are in our position,our feelings will be understood.
They walked away angrily.
Ranbir-Sid became dull.
Navratri celebration…
Prachi and Rhea decorated the house.They got dressed up and returned to the living room.There they were shocked to see Abhi with Pragya.
Rhea:Why did you come here Abhi sir?We didn’t invite you.
Abhi was silent.
Prachi:Don’t you know that only shameless people attend a function without invitation?
Pragya:Stop insulting him.I only invited him.
Prachi and Rhea got irritated.
Rhea:We told Abhi sir to leave today.Then why did you invite him here?You should not have any relationship with this man.
Pragya:You both are in relationships. Then why I am not allowed to be in a relationship?
Rhea and Prachi were stunned by her question.
Prachi:Do you think that you are young like us?Do you remember your age?
Abhi:Pragya is single.When you both get married she will be alone.Does she not have the right to live with her life partner just because she is not young?
Rhea:Don’t interfere in our family matters.
Abhi and Pragya got hurt.
Prachi:Maa…whenever you remembered papa,you used to cry.Seeing your tears and facial expressions we thought that you loved papa till now.Infact we were sure about it.Then how did you suddenly forget him after meeting Abhi sir?
Rhea stared at Abhi:We have not seen your papa.But still we can’t consider someone else as our papa.Don’t try to be our father.
Abhi:Rhea!
Rhea:You are an outsider and so stay out of our family.Don’t come between us and our mother.
Pragya lost her control.Her tears rolled down.
