As usual, the morning bickering had started between Pragya and Abhi, due to either fighting over who would go into the bathroom for a shower first, or due to the fights with the workout music or prayer songs.
As usual, Pragya beat him to the bathroom first and so he continued to workout while she showered.
The bathroom was the only place where she could have cried where the sounds of her crying would not exit the bathroom walls, and remain silent under the tap water running. She was strong, but sometimes she couldn't handle what was happening in her life. She was stressed, constantly stressed because of Abhi's constant tortures, insults, or accusations. Her life was predictable with a little unpredictability here and there when she was at home, but this place...she didn't know what would be done with her next. Some more tears escaped her eyes, as she allowed more water to cover her face, so the tears would be hidden even from the walls of the bathroom. Sometimes she wouldn't realize how long she had been crying in there until Abhi would get pissed and knock on the door threatening her to come out, and as usual that is what happened.
Abhi knocked on the door, shouting for Pragya to get out of the bathroom, "Oye Chashmish, are you sleeping in there?" "Get out!"
Pragya was now in the kitchen making Abhi's unusual coffee after her morning prayers. Abhi had walked out in a towel getting his clothes together so he can wear them and get ready to go see Tanu of course. Finally he got to putting his shirt on and noticed one of the buttons were missing.
Abhi-ugh, seriously, the one shirt i planned to wear and the button is missing!😡
He rushed down the stairs yelling for Daadi...and handed her his shirt.
Daadi-what is the matter with you, why are you shouting? Why is this shirt given to me?
Abhi-Daadi, can you please sew in this button on my shirt please? I really wanted to wear this shirt, but the button is missing.
Daad sighed-Aray, why me? You have a wife now that can do all this for you! Stop coming to me for such things!
Abhi-Daadi woh chasmish (stopped himself) Daadi, she is busy i can't find her please you put it on for me?
Just then Pragya came with coffee in her hands, which kinda made Abhi angry because he didn't want her to touch his shirt!
Daadi-well there ya go, here is your Pragya. (she looked at Pragya) Please sew on this button for Abhi, he wants to wear this shirt today.
Abhi rolled his eyes and rushed upstairs, he wasn't going to argue with Daadi, because of that fake goodie chashmish.
Pragya followed Abhi upstairs, with the cup of coffee in her one hand and the shirt in the other.'She looked at him with the shirt, and he glared right back.
Abhi-What?
Pragya softly spoke-Please put the shirt on, so i can sew in the button. It will be easier to do it, if you have it on. (she cringed the thought of what he had to say)
Abhi-Tanu got me this shirt, and it is very special to me (he smirked at her putting the shirt on) so don't you dare mess it up
Pragya started to sew the button onto the shirt, trying to finish as fast as possible so she didn't have to be so close to him.
Abhi smiled evilly- Ouch, kya chashmish, you can't do one thing right...(pretending that she poked him)
His ouch scared Pragya a little and she herself had said ouch, only she was pierced for real and started to bleed slightly. Abhi noticed that she had gotten hurt, and he tried not to look at her, cause he didn't want to feel bad, but couldn't resist.
Abhi-yaar, why can't you do anything properly...see your hurt yourself didn't you (grabbing her finger instinctively)
Pragya pulled her hand away and continue sewing, and replied back quickly...
Pragya-this is nothing compared to the painyou give me every second, it doesn't effect you then and so it shouldn't effect you now, and i am done as she bit off the string...fixed his collar.
Before he can answer back, she handed him his coffee and walked off,
not realizing, that there was a stain of blood on his shirt, symbolically defining how destiny wants them together and their fates are connected.
