Continuation of Abhi and Pragya's scene from Ishudarling' s Scene
Bankruptcy
She handed him the coffee and as he usually wanted, she didn't look into his eyes and quietly walked away. Abhi was kinda taken aback, she didn't look at him he thought, not even once! He wanted to say something to her, even if it was a taunt, just to get her to look into his eyes and to hear her fighting voice, or to just see her face welling up with anger; he just wanted her to say something. However, as tiny as she was, she moved quite fast, and was gone within a second.
Abhi sighed and took a quick sip of coffee and the taste was amazing, and it cheered him up a bit more. He took another sip to savor the taste and decided to come up with something to rise back up like a phoenix. As Abhi finished his last sip of his amazing coffee, his Rockstar Daadi came in.
Rockstar Daadi-Beta, look you stay here comfortably and do not take any stress about anything. For now, just relax calm down and let your brain clear up because only then you will be able to think of what step to take to go forward with your career.
Sarla mom walked in- Yes beta, beeji is right! Here have some food to eat, or else you will get weak. We are all here with you, so do not think you are alone in this fight.
Abhi was overwhelmed with his mother in law, and grandmother in law as he took a few bites of the pakoda; he went back to a little flashback to when he tried to contact his friends, or anyone he had helped in the past, they all turned away or rejected the call. He looked up at Rockstar Daadi, and Sarla mom and thought, that these people who have come in his life not to long ago, trusted him and stood by him. His eyes welled up a little but he didn't let any tear get out and quickly blinked them away. He put his one arm on his sarla mom and one on his rockstar daadi, and nodded his head a little indicating he was okay and thank you. He quickly got up to go see his daadi, who was not well since the time they were kicked out of their own house. He walked towards the small guest room, and saw Pragya there softly massaging daadi's feet with oil...they had swollen up due to the side effects of her medicines.
Abhi was utterly shocked, was this the real Pragya, or was this always the Pragya he failed to recognize or ignore? Pragya could tell from the side of her eyes that he was looking at her, and before he can talk, she had gotten up and gave him a towel.
Pragya- I know that around this time you like to take a shower, so here is the towel and the bathroom is on left of this room. Please go shower, ma has cleaned it up so it is comfortable for you to use.
It may be small, and not as luxurious as your bathroom, but it can still give you a bath. She smiled slightly and then turned away...as she heard a faint "thank you," from Abhi.
It was around 9:00 at night, and Daadi had finally fallen asleep with great difficulty, Pragya slowly rose up and pulled up the blanket for Daadi as she slept.
She walked out of the room and into the living room to get some water, she knew that Abhi would need water on his bed side for the night. As she made her way to the living room, she noticed her mom, Bulbul, daadi, Purvi, and Janki (masi?) fixing their mattresses happily talking and enjoying the fact that they would all sleep together in the room and do masti. They each gave up their rooms for the comfort of her in-laws. Along side her stood Abhi, with the same feeling. He followed Pragya into the kitchen, she had not said much today and he had to talk to her so he can hear her voice. He didn't know why her silence was killing him.
Pragya as she opened the refrigerator says-Do you have something to say? (abhi opened his mouth but was cut off) Do you need something?
(Abhi once again opened his mouth but was cut off) If you are looking for a jug of water I am bringing it up for you now.
Abhi quickly talked before she said anything more "Chashmish, gosh I am fine let me at least talk...(her back facing him) he pulled her away from the fridge and against the wall. He looked straight into her eyes and continued "Why is that when you don't talk to me I don't like it?" "why is it that when you don't look at me I go crazy?" (Pragya looked away) "pragya look at me, (he pulled her chin up so their eyes met) "Why are you helping me so much when I did nothing but treat you horribly?" "I am confused why are you still supporting me when I have no money?" (He held tighter and closer, now her stomach was touching his and chest was touching his) "you married me for money?" ( his face showed a confused expression and this time he loudly asked that question to himself, more then to Pragya)
Before Abhi could question her with anymore questions, Purvi let out a giggle.
Purvi-Oho, Di and Jiju having a romantic moment in the kitchen?
Both Abhi and Pragya pulled apart...and pragya replied to Purvi "Chup!"
(Pragya felt her heart race decreasing again as Abhi pulled away)
