(I hope you like it. Something what is to happen in the track. I don't want to put the heart attack part of Sarla. I don't feel I can do justice to that scene.. so it's a bit my way.. what happens when the truth finally comes out.)
Pragya and Abhi were both in the car. The truth had been out. Pragya was nervous for what was to happen and Abhi was in shock. Surprisingly, he felt at ease. He was glad that Pragya wasn't the girl that had caused all this commotion. Surprisingly, he felt good. The image of Pragya and their moments spent together finally made sense. The picture of Pragya fit what she had done all this time. His mind and heart were at peace at last. He was finally free from the confusions, the plannings, all the schemes, everything.
Pragya, on the hand, was scared to core. She knew Abhi would leave her now and marry Tannu. Abhi had no reason left to continue this relation. All she could think about was how to tell her mother, Daadi the truth and how she would handle everything. Before she had something to tell everyone. Before she had an escape plan but with the truth out everything had changed. New fears creep ed into her mind. She could feel her heart racing fast and yet she did not know what to do. She did not know what the fates had in store of her and she was scared. Never before Pragya had been scared in her life to this extent.
Abhi felt a warmth inside him seeing Pragya beside him. He wanted to do something. His brain had left him. He couldn't think of anything. He was left with no option but his heart. The heart that had been screaming for months that Pragya was innocent but his brain who always chain it up. Abhi felt it was the time he finally let his heart free. He decided to listen to it. He understood what his heart was telling him. He silently smiled to himself before putting the demand into action.
Pragya stared at Abhi as he held her hand. Pragya's eyes were wide open. Abhi looked away smiling, ignoring Pragya's shocked face. Abhi smiled to himself. He knew, he knew Pragya would react in this manner. On the hand, Pragya had no idea what was going on. Abhi was not only smiling but holding her hand. She tried to move her hand back but Abhi kept his hold tightly, secretly laughing at Pragya's desperate attempts to release her hand.
"You want me to let go?" Abhi looked at her with his usual playful expression.
"Y-yes." Pragya stumbled for her words.
"All you have to do is ask." Abhi looked at her. Pragya looked at him, before Pragya could say anything, the driver stopped in front of a hotel.
"Huh?" Pragya said looking at the hotel.
"I am too tired for another long drive." Abhi looked at her. "I am rock star, I need my beauty sleep." It took Pragya all her strength to control her laughter at Abhi's comment, but she couldn't stop the smile coming on her face.

"I know... what I did was very wrong and I am sorry. I promise I would...ahhh." Abhi groaned as he practiced in front of the mirror. Asking for forgiveness what a hard job. This was his millionth time, yet he was failing miserably. Pragya was asleep on the bed.. or he thought she was. What Abhi did not know was that Pragya had heard all of his million tries and only Pragya knew the self confidence it took to control her emotions.
"If this continues.. I might be able to say sorry in my next life." Abhi groaned. "Oh Abhi.. you're a rock star you can do this. Come on. You can do this."
"There's no need for an apology." Pragya said getting into a sitting position. Pragya saw Abhi turning pale. Abhi quickly turned at her.
"How long have you been awake?" Abhi asked praying she had not heard him.
"As long as you have every right to turn pale." Pragya laughed.
"So..so.. you already know what I am trying to say you." Abhi stumbled.
"You don't need to apologize. You have every right to be angry." Pragya explained. "I did take the blame on myself? How could you have known the truth?"
Abhi couldn't help but smile. A huge load had been taken off him. He didn't have to worry about Pragya's forgiveness or how he would had to face her before Abhi could say anything further he got a call.
Abhi: Hello Daadi.
Daadi: Abhi, where are you and Pragya?
Abhi: Woh.. we're in Pune.
Daadi: Pune?
Abhi: We were..uh..uh.. talking in the car and ended up in Pune?... Pragya couldn't help but giggle at Abhi's lamest excuse.
Daadi: Uh.. so when are you two coming back?
Abhi: Tomorrow.
Daadi: Okay then. Bye.
Abhi: Bye Daadi.
"We were talking and reached Pune?" Pragya asked him. "Seriously?"
"I didn't have any thing else to say." Abhi looked her but before he could further talk with her, he got another call.
Aaliyah: Bhai? You're in Pune?
Abhi: Yes, Aaliyah I am in Pune.
Aaliyah: Did you find that bhenji and Purab?
Abhi: Show some respect and yes I found them and the truth.
Aaliyah: Truth?
Abhi: I'll explain everything tomorrow.
Aaliyah: Okay bhai.
"So before anyone else disturbs me." Abhi began and pulled Pragya closer. Pragya stared at him in shock.
"W-what are you doing?" Pragya asked astonished.
"Haye.. I am your husband na." Abhi smirked. "This is the least I can do." Pragya's eyes were to pop open at that statement.
"Ahh.." Pragya stumbled. Abhi smiled at her confusion while he kissed her forehead. He brought Pragya into a hug, forgetting about all the drama that were to take place tomorrow. He for a moment did want to think about what Tannu and Aaliyah would say. For this moment, he wanted to enjoy the peace he had.
