(I just got a very stupid idea. Bear with me.)
"Stupid Chashmish." Abhi fumed. Tannu had just broken off their relationship after seeing them together in Aaliyah's engagement. "Every time she's near something has to happen."
"Really?" A girl suddenly appeared in front of Abhi. Abhi stared at her in shock. This girl had literally come from thin air. The girl was probably twenty five to the lastest and was wearing black skiing jeans, black top and a red leather jacket. She had a glow around her
"How did you... What are you?" Abhi stammered.
"What?" The girl looked disappointed. "By that I am hoping you mean who? My name is Anahita but you can call me T."
"Do I know you?" Abhi asked. He was utterly confused who this girl was.
"No, but now you do." Anahita explained. "I'm your fairy godmother."
"Fairy godmother?" Abhi said. "There are no fairy godmothers. That's nonsense." Anahita raised her eyebrows at him. She moved her hand slightly. Suddenly felt his body being pulled up in the air.
"Believe me now?" Anahita smiled. Abhi nodded. She made him stand again.
"Why are you here?" Abhi asked.
"We don't usually show ourselves. We tend to give you gifts through out your lives." Anahita explained. "But you were not only ungrateful but you have disappointed me, Abhi."
"I?" Abhi looked at her. "How?"
"Well getting you married to Pragya was my gift." Anahita explained. "You don't seem to like it?"
"Chashmish." Abhi shrugged. "Gosh, I hate her."
"If only that was true." Anahita laughed.
"I love Tannu." Abhi said. "I don't love Chashmish."
"Your heart knows that she's innocent and that you love her yet your brain has been manipulated
to the very extent." Anahita explained.
"No. She ruined the life of my sister." Abhi said. "She took the love of her life away from her."
"No she didn't." Anahita explained. "Let me tell you the truth."
"Truth?" Abhi looked at her. "This is the truth."
"Don't argue with me Abhi." Anahita said. "I tend to always win."
"Come with me." Anahita said. "Let me show you the truth. Then you can decide what to do." Anahita gave her hand to Abhi. Abhi reluctantly took. Abhi could feel himself going light, extremely light. He closed his eyes and when he opened them he found himself at Purab's office. He saw Purab and Pragya talking. He could hear each word he was saying. The next scene he saw Bulbul and Purab together. He saw Aaliyah misunderstanding the situation. He saw himself marrying Pragya. He saw him confronting her. He saw her taking the blame and then suddenly he was back where he was. Anahita stood in front of him smiling.
"So... now you saw the truth." Anahita explained.
"I... I ruined her life." Abhi said. "I just believed one picture and didn't even care to investigate the matter further. I'm horrible. What can I do T?"
"Ask for forgiveness." Anahita explained. "Pragya would forgive you. Tell her that you're sorry. Tell her that Bulbul will get married to Purab. Tell her that Aaliyah was wrong. Tell her that you won't break this marriage. Tell her you want a fresh start."
"How can I thank you?" Abhi asked.
"No need." Anahita smiled. "It was my duty."
"What if I need you again?" Abhi asked.
"Close your eyes and POOF! I will be there." Anahita smiled and she disappeared.

"Pragya?" Abhi said coming inside the room. Pragya was brushing her hair. "We need to talk."
"What?" Pragya said looking at him. Abhi walked up to her.
"I... I'm sorry." Abhi told her. Pragya looked at him. She couldn't remember anything Abhi did recently that he would ask sorry for. "I know sorry is not enough and I'll do what ever it takes to make up for what I have done. I ruined your life. I should have investigated before marrying you. I know you're not the girl. I know the girl is Bulbul but I wont do anything to her. I assure you, Bulbul will get married to Purab. Aaliyah can't always have what she wants. Will you forgive me?" Pragya was too shocked to say anything. Pragya kept staring at him. If he knew the truth and he was doing nothing to Bulbul that means there marriage would come to end.
"And.. I will not break this marriage." Abhi told her. "Well not unless you want to. If you want... maybe we could start over. A new fresh start. We could forget the past memories and try to make new ones? So... do you want to have a fresh start?" Pragya looked towards the floor. She didn't know what to say. She was too stunned by Abhi's apology. Abhi took her silence the wrong way.
"It's okay..." Abhi said looking down. "I know. I understand." With that he started to turn around but stopped when he felt Pragya back hug. He turned around and looked at her.
"I have no problem." Pragya smiled. "I am ready to forgive you and to have a fresh start." Hearing her words, Abhi hugged her tightly. Abhi smiled and closed his eyes. Suddenly Anahita appeared behind Pragya. She winked at Abhi and Abhi mouthed a thank you. With that she disappeared leaving the two together in their moment.
(I hope you liked it.)
