Pragya went to see Bulbul. She was surprised to see Pragya.
Bulbul “Sorry Pragya, they decided this marriage arrangements in a hurry. I couldn’t think of the people to invite clearly. But I knew you will be invited by Abhi.”
Pragya “I didn’t expect you will forget me.” Bulbul “No Pragya, how can I forget you? Without you I wouldn’t have met Purab in the first place.”
Pragya looked lost seeing something. Bulbul looked at the direction she saw. It was a photo of Abhi and Purab together.
Bulbul “Did you talk to him?” Pragya “He is mad at me now.” She then started to cry unable to hide her feelings.
Bulbul making her sit down on the bed asked “What happened now?” Pragya told what happened.
Bulbul “I told you before. He loves you & you also love him. Now you see he got frustrated of you denying his love.” Pragya “I didn’t say I never love him now.” Bulbul “But you were silent na…” Pragya “Being silent doesn’t mean I deny his love for me.” Bulbul “It’s high time you speak up now if not….if not he might lose interest in your love.” Pragya shrieked “How’s that possible? You are kidding right?” Bulbul “I am serious Pragya. Everything has a limit to endure. He had been very patient, very understanding in waiting for your response. He wasn’t trying to force love from you. I think he fell in love after knowing you also might have some soft corner for him. He was trying to show that you also love him. As far as I know, he was successful in that as now say you love him. But still you are hesitant to say that to him.”
Pragya “Bulbul….but what if….” Bulbul “Pragya, if you are thinking about what ifs now then it’s hopeless.” Pragya “Oh Bulbul, why are you saying like this?”
Bulbul “Then better do one thing. By end of my marriage, just go & tell you love him.” Pragya “But….” Bulbul “No buts anymore. If you want him then go get him by yourself. Take me for example, I wanted Purab, so I proposed him first”. She said proudly while Pragya was looking apprehensive.
Time passed,
It was sangeet time. Pragya was given a beautiful blue saree by Abhi’s mother to. She was looking beautiful as a bride.
Abhi saw her but never paid attention to her.
Whenever she looks at him, he ignores her. It hurts her seeing him not even responding to her smile.
Rinku sees this & gets angry on Abhi.
Rinku asks Abhi to carry him. Abhi carries him & Rinku whispers “Papa! Go talk to Mumma!” Abhi “Why should I? Your Mumma forgot to love me.” Rinku “Papa, you make her remember.” Abhi “We will talk about this later. Now look at the function. See there, Preethi is also here.” Rinku frowns as Abhi is talking about Preethi instead of Pragya.
Abhi kisses Rinku’s cheek saying be like a good boy & enjoy the function.
Rinku, What is this Papa doing? He must kiss Mumma not me! I feel so sad for Mumma. She is standing there alone looking at us. Thank god! Preethi is there. She is sometimes talking to Mumma. I must do something so that Papa talks to Mumma.
He asks him to let him down as he wants to talk to Pragya. Abhi lets him down and walks away to talk to his relatives.
Pragya seeing Rinku coming towards her was feeling happy.
Rinku “Pragie! Carry me!” Pragya smiles as recently he is being demanding to her.
Pragya carried Rinku. Rinku kissed on her cheek. Pragya “Why suddenly this much of love?” Rinku “ Pragie, you don’t worry for anything.” Pragya “Did Papa tell anything?” Rinku “No Pragie but I know you feel alone na….usually Papa will talk to you something. Today he never talk to you.” Pragya feels amazed of how Rinku understands her so easily.
Pragya “It’s nothing like that. He is busy that’s why he couldn’t speak to me.”
Rinku “You don’t know Pragie. But don’t worry, I will be with you.” Pragya smiles and asks him to see how others dance.
Rinku suddenly have an idea. He looks at Abhi talking to some relatives.
Rinku “Let me down Pragie!” Pragya “Why Rinku?” Rinku “I need to see someone! You let me down first!”
Pragya let him down. He manage to move around the crowd & reached the stage.
Rinku “Ladies & gentlemen!!” He said in mike catching everyone’s attention.
Pragya looked at him in surprise. She wonders what was he up to now?
Rinku “Today I am very happy to see this sangeet. This is the first time I am seeing. I love all the dance performances here.” He said getting claps from everyone.
Rinku “But I never see any couple dance.” Pragya had her eyes widened for what he said.
Rinku “Anyone want to dance as couple here?” Everyone looked at each other & talked among themselves.
Rinku quickly “It’s ok! No worries. My best friend & Papa will dance as couple.”
Abhi hearing that look shocked. Pragya too wasn’t expecting this. What would others think if they dance together? That was running in her mind.
Abhi’s mother came to rescue. That was what Abhi & Pragya thought. But they were wrong.
His mother “Rinku’s best friend now is his dance teacher, Pragya. Abhi is also a good friend with her. Let’s see friends dancing together.”
Abhi, Ma….what have you done? How can I dance with her?
Pragya, Oh no! He is already mad at me. Then now this dance! What am I supposed to do?
The crowd cheer both their names making them with no choice but walking up to the stage.
The song plays……
As I saw you…something happened to me
Instantly my soul was drawn towards you
Abhi holds Pragya closely to him.
The moment I saw you this way
A sweet hustle has started in my heart
Pragya turns to look at him.
I see you before me…also behind me
Even at my side…and all around me
Abhi twirls her around and sees her all the time.
Your gaze stings me like a needle…your eyes heals me like a medicine
You have given me a reliving cure
Pragya feels intimidated just by his strong gaze towards hers.
As your smile lay a trap for me
My heart is caught in it like a fish
She smiles in response which makes him looks pleasured.
Your complexion is glowing like gold
It’s stirring in my mind day and night
How can I stay far from you?
Abhi hugs her from back passionately making her close eyes.
I met many…but none seemed like you
The beauty best than you is…you yourself
If you’re closer to me…in the reach of my hand
Your cheeks would be blushed in scarlet
Abhi caresses her cheek lightly before distancing from her.
I cannot wait to reach you
I am sure that I cannot live distant from you
Abhi looks at her as if he sings that line for her. Pragya looks at him intently. Both get lost in each other by having an eye-lock.
Abhi’s mother seeing their dance, Real love fire had ignited in their hearts!
She clapped first followed by the crowd there which made Abhi & Pragya back to senses.
Rinku smiled widely as now his parents have danced well. Rinku comes onto the stage merrily.
To his shock, Abhi excuses himself from there as soon as possible. Pragya also leaves after saying thank you.
Rinku, Mumma! Papa! I will make both of you talk. I promise on chota gang that both of you will talk.
Rinku then gets a bright idea!
Precap
Rinku “Listen, Mumma is sleeping inside that room. Papa in this room.” Rocky “Ok then I go to your Mumma room. You to your Papa’s room”. Rinku “No you go to my Papa’s room. I will go to my Mumma’s room.” Rocky “Are you mad? If your Papa knows I am there, he will KILL me!!” Both were having an argument on who should go to which room. At the same time, someone enters Abhi’s room.
To be continued…..

Hope you’ll like the song and as usual thank you for reading, liking and commenting!
