Pragya was going to Daadi when Abhi pulled her and trapped her in a corner. He placed both of his arms to prevent her from escaping. Pragya just stared at him in shock.
"I heard you kept the fast." Abhi asked.
"Yes. I did." Pragya replied.
"Why?" Abhi asked.
"Daadi wanted me too." Pragya replied. It was only half the truth. In fact, she wanted to keep it for Abhi. She had started to feel attracted to him. Maybe she was in love with Abhi? Maybe this was love.
"You sure?" Abhi asked moving closer to her.
"Y-Yes." Pragya replied. Abhi looked at her. He traced a finger from her neck to her shoulder. Pragya started to breath heavily. Abhi leaned in and kissed her neck. Pragya's eyes popped open in surprise.
"You sure?" Abhi asked again. He was madly deeply in love with Pragya. He knew there were some other reason why Pragya kept the fast and he was determined to find out. Pragya on the other hand was sure, if Abhi continued this she would have to tell him the truth. Just then an idea popped in her mind.
"Daadi!" Pragya said suddenly. Abhi quickly turned around to see, while Pragya seeing the chance ran away.

It was almost time for the pooja and Pragya was getting ready. She was wearing pea cock blue sari, matching jewelry and light make up. Before leaving the room, she checked the corridor to make sure Abhi wasn't there. She hadn't seen Abhi since the morning incident. Suddenly she realized she forgot to wear the bangles Daadi had given her.
After wearing the bangles, she turned around quickly and bumped into Abhi's torso. Pragya looked at surprised. Abhi smirked and wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer.
"Right." Abhi said. "You didn't tell me why you kept the fast?"
"I... Daadi said so." Pragya said in a little voice looking away. Abhi made her look at him.
"You sure?" Abhi asked and leaned in closer. How could Pragya lie to him when he had such an expression of his face. He looked so adorable. Abhi slowly kissed her cheek.
"Y-Y-es." Pragya choked on her words. Abhi smiled and leaned in to kiss her lips but woefully, their moment was short lived.
"Ahem." Daadi cleared her throat. Abhi and Pragya quickly pulled away. Both of them turning crimson red. "It's time for the pooja." Pragya nodded and followed her.

It was finally time for the women to open the fast. Pragya looked around the room, but Abhi was no where to be seen. She walked out of the room in search of Abhi but she couldn't find him anywhere. She was walking in the corridor when she heard his voice.
"Listen Tannu..." Abhi said. That was all Pragya wanted to hear. She felt her heart sink and tears started to fall. She was an idiot believing Abhi would be there to open the fast. She slowly walked away towards the roof. She sat there in the corner, crying. She cursed herself into believing that Abhi might fall for her just the way she did.
She remembered all the moments they had spent. Must be Abhi's tortures she thought. He wanted to break her heart well he succeeded. She couldn't believe she was stupid enough to believe all these delusions. She wiped her tears and tried to get up but staying hungry and thirsty all day had drained her energy.
Pragya held the wall for support but her dizziness just got worse. She was starting to black out, all she could remember before complete black out was someone grabbing her.

Pragya felt sprinkle of water on her face. She slowly opened her eyes to see Abhi looking at her with full concern. She was still on the roof. She tried to sit up but her body didn't agree. Abhi helped her into a sitting position, aligning her back with the wall.
"You okay?" Abhi asked. Pragya just stared at him. She wasn't going to give in to his tortures again. Abhi was surprised Pragya gave him no answer. She looked hurt, devastated and tired. "What were you doing on the roof?"
"Moon." Pragya lied. "I wanted to see the moon."
"You're lying." Abhi said.
"Why do you even care?" Pragya asked.
"What?" Abhi asked confused. "What did I do?"
"You know what?" Pragya replied. "Just leave me. Go to your Tannu. I am sure, she must have kept the fast for you."
"Tannu?" Abhi asked confused.
"Yes, Tannu." Pragya said as she tried to get up. Abhi wanted to help but he stopped once Pragya gave him a warning glare. Pragya with difficulty got up and tried to walk but she could feel herself getting dizzy again. She desperately needed some food. She reached out her hand to grab something for support. This time it wasn't the wall. Abhi held her hand and scooped her up, ignoring the protests. He took Pragya to their room.
He brought a plate of food and glass of water for Pragya. He took food and tried to feed it to Pragya but she refused to open her mouth.
"You need this.Then you can be angry at me for what so ever reason you have." Abhi told her. He tried feeding her but she refused. "Please?"
Hearing the word please, Pragya couldn't stay stubborn. She slowly opened her mouth. Abhi smiled and gave her the first mouthful. Only when the food reached her stomach, she realized how hungry she was. Abhi gave her the water and she took a big gulp of it. While Abhi fed her, none of them said a word.
"Now." Abhi said. "What about Tannu?"
"What about her? I don't know." Pragya replied. "You were the one talking to her."
"When?" Abhi asked.
"It was time to open the fast, I...I... came looking..." Pragya stumbled. "You were on the phone." Abhi finally realized what had happened.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you the truth." Abhi smirked.
"Really?" Pragya choked on her words. "You got married?" Abhi could hear the pain and devastation in her voice.
"The opposite." Abhi said taking her hand. "I broke up with her."
"Wait. What?" Pragya asked surprised.
"Yes." Abhi replied. "I kind of love someone else. Guess who?"
"Who?" Pragya asked. She could feel her heart sink again. If not Tannu then someone else.
"You have got to be kidding me?" Abhi looked at her. "Are you an idiot? I am here, feeding you, telling you I broke up with my girlfriend while holding your hand, telling you I love someone else and you're asking me who?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Pragya defended. "You have so many fans and colleagues and relations..."
"Gosh." Abhi said face palming. "And they say guys are clueless. Make you best guess."
"Uh..." Pragya thought for a moment. "I have no idea."
"Are you freakin' serious?" Abhi asked.
"Yes." Pragya replied.
"YOU!" Abhi said. "I love you!"
"Oh.. what?" Pragya asked realizing what he had just said.
"Yes, what." Abhi replied.
"You love me?" Pragya asked just to be sure, she wasn't hallucinating.
"Yes." Abhi replied.
"'Am I hallucinating?" Pragya asked. "Staying hungry must have messed up my brain."
"No. You are not hallucinating." Abhi said. "It's real."
"Sure?" Pragya asked.
"Yes. Hundred percent." Abhi replied. He saw Pragya smile as she threw her arms against him. Abhi also held her tightly. "So, you love me?"
"Yes." Pragya replied still hugging him. "Yes, I do love you."
