The Battle of Emotions Part 3 (Last Part)
The six hear a very familiar male voice saying, "she is my daughter too and I have a right to talk with her at least once." "she is your daughter by blood, this is true, which is why I am giving her the choice to choose whether she will go away from Dehli with me or whether she will stay here with you, my younger daughter too has that choice," retorts another familiar voice, this time a female one. "Fuggie..." Abhi began to say, but gets interrupted by Pragya whom says, "don't you dare call me that, you lost your right the moment you allowed your sister to make my younger daughter a miniature version of her." Abhi had tears in his eyes after listening to this and though Pragya did not show any tears, she was deeply hurt and upset on the inside but she was deeply shocked to see Prachi looking at her and Abhi shocked while the others were completely confused and angry on seeing Riya there.
Before anyone could say anything, Prachi looks at Abhi and whispers, with sobs, "y..you mus.must be ash..ashame..ashamed to kno..know tha..that.I'm...rel..related..to.yo..you." All but Abhigya and Riya look towards Prachi questioningly and all feel bad for her while Abhi, with tears on the verge of his eyes shakes his head in no.
Without warning, Riya rushes towards Prachi and goes on her knees, matching the same level Prachi was on and says, with tears streaming down her cheeks, "Di, I'm so sorry I.. I know wh..what I ha..have don..done is un..unforgiva..unforgivable but I truly am sorry and would like you to either send me to jail or forgive but please don't make me stay here while knowing that I tried to m..mur..murder my own sister and sh..she ha..hates me."
Understanding dawned on the other people present and Prachi whispers, "I don't hate you Riya but I do hate my fate which turned my own sister against." Riya says, "I do.do.. not kn..know if you I will ever be able to make for all my crimes but I will try my best to and not do any more crimes big or small and I am not against you." Both the sisters are in tears and this time Pragya comes up to both them and lends both her hands out, each to help one of her daughters to get up, Riya and Prachi both take them and then turn their attention towards their mother. Pragya says, trying hard to hide her tears, "both of you are my daughters and you are also the daughters of Abhishek Prem Mehra but each of you must chose between me and your father for I have decided I shall not live with the man who made my younger daughter a criminal and I know that even if my elder daughter stays with her father she will not forget the values and upbringing I have given her." Abhi is about to speak when they see Prachi fall on her knee and with tears endlessly running down her cheeks, pleads "pl..please do..don't sep..separate again if n..not for your..youselves then for .Ri..Riya and m..me. I do n..not wa..want to cho..chose be..between my moth..mother and fath..father. I do..don't want to li..live with.without eith..either and I don..don't wan..want to li.live with..without my sis..sister."
Everyone is in tears and Riya says, "Di is right please don't separate." Sarita ji says, "Pragya beta, I know this your family matter but both your daughters have already experienced what it is like to live without one parent, please do not make them go trough the same pain again, when they do not have to." Abhi says, "Pragya I know are upset and angry with me but please don't give my punishment to our daughters as well." "Aunty, I know I'm no one to interfere in these matters but please don't separate your daughters from their parents," says Ranbir. "Mami, I know that Riya has done many things but I know that it is not Mamo's but my mothers fault who was the person who gave Riya such ridiculous values and upbringing," Aryan whispers. "Pragya beta, I know that this your family's matter and I shouldn't be interfering in it but even if it is Abhi's fault that Riya turned out like this please don't give the punishment to your daughters, for they will only experience more pain on knowing how their other parent is like but they are not with them, even though they are still alive," says Ranbir's Dida. "Maasi, I know that Riya has turned out to be not at all what you expected but that doesn't mean it's Mehra sirs fault, even if it is, please don't punish Riya and Prachi, for making a child stay away from a parent is probably the worlds most harsh punishment, I should know," says Shahana, whispering the last part out only loud enough for her hear, while everyone was looking surprised to hear the usually chirpy and bubbly Shahana says such wise words.
All look at Pragya hoping the same thing. "I will stay here with both my daughters and my husband," Pragya declares after thinking for a while. All get happy and Abhi hugs Pragya, Prachi and Riya hug each other, Shahana and Aryan hug each other, Sarita ji and Dida hug each other while Ranbir watches the scene a smile, after seeing his love happy after, what felt like a eternity of crying and sadness. Soon everyone separates from each and Abhi pulls Pragya, Riya and Prachi into a tight hug and they all hug him back and stay like for a little while.
The family soon separates and Riya thinks to tease Pranbir and says, "waise, jiju you still haven't heard Di say that she loves you too na, so tell everyone but Di how you will propose her next, will it be with balloons, roses, chocolates, a ring, a card or all of them or something completely different?" Prachi glares at her sister and is about scold her when she hears Ranbir say, "hmm, I will tell you but first I would like to have a word with your Di and my girlfriend." Prachi glares at Ranbir and she yells, "since when am I your girlfriend?!" "So you don't want to be my girlfriend and I know why," says Ranbir, with a strange smirk." Prachi smugly asks, "why?" "Because you want be something above that like my life partner/wife," Ranbir replies with a goofy smile and everyone else in the room bursts out laughing while Prachi is giving Ranbir a death glare and she runs after him leading him out of the room.
Aryan signs Shahana to follow him and she does so. Dida and Sarita ji go to Sarita ji room to talk about something and Riya fakes a phone call to leave parents alone.
================================================================================================================================================================
Shahana and Aryan reach the outside of the front door and Shahana asks Aryan, "why did you ask me to come here?" Aryan replies, "no one scolded Prachi and jiju for being in love with each other so why would they scold us?" Shahana thinks and says, "yes, that is because jiju is good but I bet they won't like your monkey-like look." Aryan frowns and pretending to angry says, "hmph, I'm breaking up with you." Shahana bursts out laughing and says, "I meant each and every word do you really think you fool me, the biggest drama queen on earth with your childish acting." Aryan frowns and says, "fine then I want a kiss then." Shahana gives a quick cheek kiss to Aryan making him happy and the two go to the elders and Riya to join their conversations.
================================================================================================================================================================
Prachi was still chasing Ranbir around Pragya's room when she slips by accidently running on top of a book when she closes her eyes and embraces herself for the pain and opens her eyes when that pain never comes only to see Ranbir looking lovingly at her while his arms are wrapped around her waist and both of them get lost in each others eyes (yea to show me kuch jyada hi hota ha) Prachi was the first to come back to reality and says, "Ranbir now will you let me go or not." Ranbir helps Prachi but doesn't take his hands off her waist, Prachi glares at Ranbir. Ranbir says, "I know what you are thinking but I will not take my hands off your waist until you give me my answer." "What answer?" Prachi asks, confused. "The answer to my proposal?" Ranbir replies. Prachi bites her lips and says, "I used to hate you and think that no one can flirt more than you do. I also used to think that you are really bad boy and the only thing you know is how to flirt around with girls." Prachi pauses while Ranbir frowns and feels devastated for he actually thought Prachi loved him but then hears Prachi says, "and I never ever thought that in all of my life I would become your friend, me falling for you was something that would've been impossible for anyone to predict." Ranbir looks at Prachi and says, "then so those three words na." "What three words?" Prachi replies, pretending to think. "Fine then if you don't want to say so then don't but I'm not talking to you, "Ranbir whines.
Prachi chuckles at his childishness and then gives him a quick kiss on the cheek shocking him and he remains glued to the spot, closing his eyes thinking back to what happened just moments ago with a huge smile. Ranbir opens his eyes and says, "not fair chikchiki." Prachi gets confused and says, "what's not fair?!" "You only kissed one cheek the other cheek will get angry and so will the forehead as well..." he points towards his lips, with a cheeky smile. Prachi glares at Ranbir but gets and idea and instantly kisses his other cheek and forehead and then when she is about to kiss his lips he closes eyes but opens them on feeling his lips touch something cold. Ranbir frowns on seeing a glass jar and instantly moves back from it and sees Prachi holding it and she bursts out into laughter on seeing Ranbir's annoyed face. Prachi puts the glass jar on the floor and is about to leave when she gets pulled back and ends up staring straight into Ranbir's eyes, with her hands on his chest and his arms around his waist. Prachi pouts, "let me go na I will give you your kiss if we get married." Ranbir replies, "we will definitely get married so...." but isn't able to continue as Prachi's lips met his. After 5 minutes (jyada der to nahi hoygi) the two separate and both are breathing heavily.
"One more na, pease" Ranbir pouts and a blushing Prachi shakes her head and says, "that kiss was only to shut you up so now may I go?" Ranbir frowns but then says, "fine go but I'm coming with you." Ranbir and Prachi leave hand in hand, with Prachi's head resting on Ranbir's shoulder to join the elders, Arhana'a and Riya's conversation.
================================================================================================================================================================
Abhi says, with tears "fuggie I know I was wrong to accuse you for being responsible of Kiara's death and I was wrong to accuse Prachi of being responsible for Riya's suicide but that doesn't mean that I purposely made our youngest daughter into a criminal, I had truly thought that Alia had changed." Pragya finally understood that she couldn't remain upset with her husband any longer and that she was fighting between her own emotions for reason and so she said, with happy tears, "I love you and do not blame you for Riya's crimes."
Abhi gets happy and hugs his fuggie and says, "waise fuggie, it's been quite sometime since you gave me a kiss so give me one na." Pragya glares at Abhi and says, "at least have some shame you are a old man now and have kids who are in their twenties." Abhi says, "who are you calling old and I'm sure that the kids won't mind if I do some romance with their mum after all our Prachi is probably too busy trying to scold her would-be-husband, just like mother scolds her poor husband." "Since when are you poor?!" Pragya sort of yells. "Me and Ranbir are both poor since our loves will only give us kisses after we beg them for it and they won't even let us give them kisses and you and Prachi are very stubborn to accept your love or me and Ranbir," Abhi says, smirking. Pragya glares at Abhi and is about to leave when Abhi holds her hand and says, "well, if you leave without giving me my kiss then you just prove my point." Pragya thinks to give him kiss then leave, for he would never stop irritating her if she didn't give him a kiss.
Pragya is about to give Abhi a kiss when he gets a phone call and whines, "this phone call had to come now didn't it." Abhi answers the phone call and gets after a minute he drops his phone on the floor and Pragya asks, "what happened?" Abhi says, with tears, "Alia had an accident and now she's....she's de..dead..she has gotten punishment for her crimes by god him..himself." Pragya whispers, " I just feel sorry for Aryan, poor child how will he feel when he finds out that his mother is dead."
Aryan and Shahana who were walking over to join Sarita ji's, Dida's and Riya's conversation overheard the last bit of Abhigya's conversation and Aryan walked over to his Mami. Aryan says, with tears "Mami, I am sad to hear of my mothers death but it was probably gods punishment for her as she has committed too many crimes in her life to ever be forgiven by anyone and I also think that her being alive would have been no better than her being dead, for whenever I would see her I would get reminded of her horrible crimes and would feel ashamed, in fact I still feel ashamed to have her as my mother, so don't feel bad because I lost my mother." Pragya nods and the four go over to the others.
================================================================================================================================================================
Prachi and Ranbir reach Sarita ji's room and Prachi goes and sits near Riya causing Ranbir to frown for there was no space near Prachi. Ranbir discreetly signals Riya to sit near Sarita ji and Riya does so. Ranbir goes and sits near Prachi and holds her hand to prevent her moving, while Prachi glares at Ranbir but Ranbir ignores her glare anyway.
Before any conversation could start Abhigya and Arhana reach the room too. Abhi looks at Pragya and Pragya looks back both thinking about their eldest daughter and how good it would have been if she was still with them and then look at towards Prachi and Riya with soft smiles and think about their almost happy ending.
THE END
Until Next Time!
